 To the Public

 N completing the foregoing "Array of Contents," and "Array of Illustrations," we deem it prudent to call the special atten- 
 tion of every friend of biblical literature to the fact that the most critical care and study has been employed to render these 
 superior, in their arrangement and appropriateness, to anything of the kind now published. Many complaints have been justly 
 made against the tendency to thrust any and every kind of "pictures into subject-matter prepared to suit" — but having little or no 
 regard to the text. This cannot be said of our large enterprise, which has been effected under the most competent and judicious 
 editorial management and ability. In no other editions of the Bible, known to us, can there be found such perfect connection and 
 harmony between the Sacred Text, the Explanatory Books and articles, and the Illustrations. This is solely because we have, at an 
 unusual expense, had the most important and valuable literature written to suit the text, and then employed experienced engravers to 
 truthfully represent what we have had prepared. 
 
 By carefully examining the comprehensive and choice mass of subjects in the Home Bible, and separate from the text, every 
 intelligent person will recognize at a glance the remarkable fitness and order constantly apparent. First, we have "The Complete 
 Bible History and Analysis," — a work linking together all the richest instruction incident to the subject, and carrying the interest 
 and attention step by step through a volume of invaluable truths, both new and old. Then, we have the " Cyclopedia of the Bible," 
 another work in itself, gathering up and grouping together a vast range of historical knowledge, at once deep, clear, and refreshing. 
 And finally, we have the " Instructor and Guide," presenting the latest, most improved, and select of all Prophetical, Symbolical, 
 Tabular, and Chronological lore, past and present, and chaining it neatly and conveniently into one work. The Dictionary of 
 Names in this is peculiarly our own, and of rare value and usefulness to every minister and Bible student. We urge its comparison 
 with every other of its kind in the United States. 
 
 Thus, we furnish, independent of other subjects of importance to which our brief space here will not permit allusion — THREE 
 SEPARATE, SYSTEMATIC, AND COMPLETE BOOKS, worth the price, of themselves, asked for the Home Bible, any one of 
 which would be claimed as an ornament to the library of every Christian, if found upon the shelves of our leading bookstores. We 
 cheerfully offer to the public the sacrifice we have made, in affording this gem of all Family Bibles, asking no further return than that, 
 after they have purchased it, they may read, examine, learn and live.

 THE LIOLY BIBLE— HISTORY. 
 
 ITS INSPIRED CHARACTER. 
 
 THE Holy Bible is God's message to man. Not that it reveals 
 God to us as an author, in its method, language, expression, 
 thought, logic and rhetoric, but that those who penned it were the 
 honored instruments — the vehicles — through whom He made known 
 the majestic truths of His Word. It is thus neither the words of the 
 Bible, nor its thoughts, that were directly inspired, but the men 
 
 who, influenced by the Holy Ghost, conceived the thoughts and 
 gave utterance to them in words. The human and Divine were 
 so intimately associated together, that the intellects of men were 
 elevated, purified and intensified to the great work of revelation ; 
 and the mind of the Divine so penetrated and impregnated that 
 of the human, that the utterances of the latter at once became the 
 will and the word of the former. In this view the Bible stands as 
 an imperishable monument of its heavenly source; a literary aereo- 
 lite, with characteristics kindred to nothing earthly, whose own 
 superior attributes show that it has come from a high and holy 
 place. Certainly it discloses arcana which no powers of earthly 
 penetration could ever "have reached. The intense sunlight of 
 Heaven blazes from its every page, and flames in all its thoughts. 
 Everything about it points to the sky, and proclaims it the 
 Book of God — the message of the Eternal to His subjects on 
 the earth. 
 
BIBLE HISTORY AND ANALYSIS. 
 
 ITS OBJECTORS AND TITEIR OBJECTIONS. 
 
 IT is unnecessary that we should here refer to any of the various 
 particular features in the Bible that have caused its opponents 
 to denounce it as faulty and objectionable. It is clear that the fault 
 is not in the object, but in the objectors. Those who are not 
 spiritually discerned must needs see less of its m<jestic truths and 
 umpproachable wisdom than those who, passing by its occasionally 
 less attractive and less perfect surface features — all showings of the 
 finite — wander into the pure and unmist kable glories of the infinite 
 that underlie the surface. There are men, themselves very remote 
 from perfection, whose ideas of what God's message to man should 
 be, are exceedingly crude and illogical; whose views, exemplified, 
 would so remove the human from the divine, as to sever the last 
 link that unites man with his Mcker — as to sweep aside every evi- 
 dence of God's love and mercy in condescending to unite Himself 
 with man's weakness and frailty — as to close up and make a sealed 
 book of God's wisdom, so that man's intellect would stand unin- 
 structed and utterly dumb before the mind of Jehovah. These 
 men would, perhaps, also r o one step further, and m ke corres- 
 ponding changes in nature, obliterating the dreadful crags, horrible 
 precipices, dismal caves, dense bogs, a'arming chasms, barren hills, 
 bleak summits, and all that is rough, rugged and hideous, and deck- 
 ing their places with the best known types of fertility, verdure and 
 beauty — in these types imitating the very wisdom they would set 
 aside. They^ould destroy disease and suffering in every aspect, 
 and instead thereof, give us their conceptions of blooming perfec- 
 tion — in this, too, borrowing from what they behold in these lower 
 glories of the very all-rreative Hand they would set at n.iught. 
 They would thu- everywhere interfere with the union of the human 
 and Divine, and assume the wisdom created to be .ibove that which 
 created it. They fail to perceive that the fancied foolishness of 
 God is wiser than the boasted wisdom of man, and that their erro- 
 neous views of perfection would really substitute for the wisdom, 
 benevolence and grandeur of God, the most unendurable, ruinous, 
 unsophisticated and consummate imperfection. 
 
 ITS FRIENDS AND DEFENDERS. 
 
 THERE is nothing in addition to that which is revealed — either 
 in extent of matter, thought or phraseology — that is required 
 by the learned critic or devout student in confirmation of the divine 
 claims of this message. In all times, the most competent judges 
 among men have subscribed to its truths, have adopted its lessons, 
 have bowed to its requirements, and based their hopes upon its 
 promises. Great statesmen, wise legislators, profound philosophers, 
 eminent authors, learned historians, and most venerable authorities 
 have in every age added their testimony to the correctness of its 
 claims ; and in this our enlightened day it occupies a higher place 
 in the foremost nations than at any former period. Whilst it keeps 
 in advance of all human progress, and stands infinitely higher than 
 any product of the human mind, it approaches, in the application 
 of its truths, nearest to those nations who can claim precedence in 
 the number an;! intelligence of its honest, able and thoughtful men. 
 
 ITS REMARKABLE ACHIEVEMENTS. 
 
 "VTO other book has so extensively met with enmity, skepticism 
 -LN and persecution; so been confronted with national preju- 
 dices; and surely none could have ever obtained a tithe of its 
 glorious triumphs over them all, and so lodged itself securely in the 
 affections of whole peoples, varying by every imaginable diversity 
 of language, race, manners, customs and tastes ; and agreeing in 
 nothing save a veneration for itself. No other book has so felicit- 
 
 ously adapted itself to the upheavals of mind and heart which shake 
 to atoms all other things, or so flexibly suited itself to progress 
 and change. Even great disorganizations and revolutions do not 
 affect the continuity of its empire. It transmigrates with the spir t 
 of man, attracting everywhere to itself, through its own internal 
 influence and moral power, a ceaseless and relentless effort for its 
 spread, as illustration, and its defence. Other systems of religion, 
 than those founded upon its truths, are either local, or, in trans- 
 planting, become fjeble and die. But the ease with which it over- 
 ( omes boundaries, races and climes, and domesticates itself with so 
 many different and leading na'ions, is a wonderful and indubitable 
 proof of its mighty origin and sublime purpose. 
 
 ITS GREAT ANTIQUITY. 
 
 AS an aged work, it takes precedence over all others. No man 
 of culture or information in ancient literature will deny it 
 the position of the first of books — the colossal archetype. In pro- 
 fane history, the most ancient work, by Herodotus, in Greek, was 
 written no earlier than the time of the last of the Old Testament 
 writers. The poems of Homer and Hesiod are of somewhat more 
 ancient date ; the former being placed, at the remotest, in the days 
 of Isaiah, and the latter in the days of Elijah. These, excepting 
 the Bible, are the oldest productions known, and are well stocked 
 with absurdities and impurities. At all times has the most scrupu- 
 lous care been exercised in the preservation of the Word of God ; 
 and, when most assailed, it seems to have been most diligently 
 guarded — at times with a venention partaking of superstition. In 
 this, too, is the presence and wisdom of its great inspirational 
 source : that it has had incorporated in it the history of the former 
 ages; the civil and religious laws of the Jews, — their national 
 records for nearly two thousand years from the call of Abraham, 
 and the prophecies of their "great men of God" — thus again 
 linking the deep concerns of the creature and the Creator. In the 
 apostolic age, according to Tacitus, the historian, the Jewish Books 
 of the Bible were very ancient. More than three thousand and 
 three hundred years ago, and about fifteen hundred years before the 
 Christian era, the Books of Moses, including Genesis, Exodus, 
 Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy, were written. Many of the 
 other books were published over a thousand years before the advent 
 of Christ, and those of the other prophets about eight hundred 
 years previous to that wonderful event. They were kept in com- 
 pleted form, in both the Hebrew and Greek languages, by the Jews, 
 more than two thousand years ago; and commentaries were written 
 upon them, and copies circulated. 
 
 ITS EVIDENT AUTHENTICITY. 
 
 THAT nearly, if not all, the Books of the Bible were wr'tten by 
 the persons to whom they are ascribed is clear and conclu- 
 sive. Those of the Old Testament were gathered and arranged 
 by men in the prophetical office, than whom no higher authority 
 existed. The circumstances attending the translation of the Old 
 Testament into Greek, for the use of the Jews in countries where 
 that language prevailed, are no very slight evidence of its authen- 
 ticity. Considering also the Jews to have been the keepers of 
 the sacred volume of the Old Covenant, notwithstanding its pre- 
 dictions regarding the infidelity of their nation, and the rise and 
 spread of — to them — i still hated Christianity, the foregoing ap- 
 pears in a much stronger view. And that the books containing 
 the events in New Testament history were written and published 
 immediately by the persons whose names they bear, and at the 
 time of the things mentioned, is most completely established 
 by a connected chain of Christian authority reaching from the 
 
BIBLE HISTORY AND ANALYSIS. 
 
 times of the apostles to the present; by the united, deeply- 
 grounded and well-informed belief of all sects of Christians; 
 and by the unqualified consent of the best educated and most 
 penetrative opponents of Christianity. That there is a vein of 
 confirmation connecting and underlying both books of the 
 Bible, every candid mind agrees to — confirmation which, be- 
 ginning with the unmistakable declarations of Jehovah, takes 
 in nearly all the prophecies, teachings, lives and sayings nar- 
 rated. As to the New Testament, it is certain that its books 
 have been handed down to us without material alteration, much 
 less corruption. That differences have existed in manuscripts 
 is undeniable; but this is not surprising when we remember that 
 previous to the invention of printing, in the fifteenth century, 
 copies of all books were mide by transcribers, who may have been, 
 at times, ignorant or careless, though skilled in penmanship. The 
 manuscripts of the Bible amount in number to several thousands, 
 and are traced to every ancient library in all parts of the Christian 
 world. Of these, five hundred have been carefully examined and 
 compared by learned and competent men. Many were transcribed 
 between the fourth and eighth centuries. The number of these, 
 the remote countries whence obtained, the identity of their con- 
 tents, and their agreement with incidental quotations in the various 
 ages, fully demonstrate their authenticity. It may be proper to add 
 to this the earnest statement of the biblical scholar and critic, that if 
 the New Testament were lost, its contents might be wholly supplied 
 by the quotations from it found in the writings of the fathers of 
 the first four centuries of the Christian Church. 
 
 ITS DISTINGUISHED TITLE. 
 
 THE word Bible (the Book), with which all Christians are es- 
 pecially familiar, is used in the original Greek {Biblos, or 
 Biblion), to denote any book ; but is emphatically applied to the 
 Book of Inspired Scripture, "the Book" superior to all other 
 books. The word Biblion again comes from Biblos, the Egyptian 
 reed, from which the ancient paper was procured. It is in this 
 sense in which apparently John Chrysostbm uses it : "I therefore 
 exhort all of you to procure to yourselves Bibles, Biblia. If you 
 have nothing else, take care to have the New Testament," etc. 
 And Jerome says, " that the Scriptures being all written by one 
 Spirit, are one book." Augustine also says, "some called all the 
 canonical Scriptures one book, on account of their wonderful har- 
 mony and unity of design throughout." It is highly probable 
 that this method of speaking and writing eventually decided the 
 universal application and use of the Bible in connection with the 
 whole Scriptures, Old and New. The Old Testament is usually 
 called Mikra by the Jews, which word signifies "lecture, or 
 reading." The Bible, consisting of both the Old and New 
 Testaments, is frequently denominated "Scripture" by Christians; 
 at times also the "Sacred Canon," signifying the rule of faith 
 and practice. Thus the Bible is held in the highest esteem, and 
 fully deserves the sentiments of veneration, as well as the honorable 
 appellations accorded it, containing as it does the highest instruc- 
 tion pertaining to the conduct of men, as rational, moral and 
 accountable beings, and conducing, by a divine constitution and 
 promise, to their present and future happiness. 
 
 ITS ANCIENT DIVISIONS AND ORDER. 
 
 AS many copies of the Sacred Writings as could be found were 
 collected by Ezra, after . the return from captivity in 
 Babylon ; and out of them all he prepared a correct edition, ar- 
 ranging the various books in their proper order. These books he 
 
 separated into three parts, I. The Law; II. The Prophets; and 
 III. The Hagiographia, /. e., the Holy Writings. The Law con- 
 tains the Books of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deu- 
 teronomy ; the Prophets comprise Joshua, Judges (with Ruth , 
 Samuel, Kings, Isaiah, Jeremiah (with Lamentations), Ezekiel, 
 Daniel, the twelve minor prophets, Job, Ezra, Neliemiah and 
 Esther; the Hagiographia consists of the Psalms, the Proverbs, 
 Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Solomon. This division was made 
 with a view to reducing the number of the Sacred Books to the 
 number of the letters in the Hebrew alphabet, which amount to 
 twenty-two. Afterwards the Jews reckoned twenty-four books 
 in their canon of Scripture — in disposing of which the Law 
 stood as in the former division, and the Prophets were distributed 
 into former and latter — the former being Joshua, Judges, Simuel 
 and Kings; the latter, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and the twelve 
 minor phophets. And the Hagiographia is composed of the Psalms, 
 the Proverbs, Job, the Song of Solomon, Ruth, the Lamentations, 
 Ecclesiastes, Esther, Daniel, Ezra, and the Chronicles. Under the 
 name of Ezra they comprehended Nehemiah. The books of the 
 law are divided into forty-five sections. This division is ascribed 
 by many Jews to Moses himself, but others attribute it, with more 
 probability, to Ezra. It was the purpose in this division to have 
 one section for reading in their synagogues every Sabbath day — the 
 number was fifty-four, because, in their intercalated years, a month 
 being then added, there were fifty-four Sabbaths — in other years 
 they reduced them to fifty-two, by twice joining two short sections. 
 Till the persecution of Antiochus Epiphanes, they read only the 
 law; but the reading being then prohibited, they substituted fifty- 
 four sections out of the prophets ; and when the reading of the 
 law was restored by the Maccabees, the section which was read 
 every Sabbath out of the law served for their first lesson, and the 
 section out of the prophets for their second. These sections were 
 divided into verses — which division, if not made by Ezra, was 
 introduced not long after him, and seems to have been designed 
 for the use of the Targumists, or Chaldee interpreters. The Psalms, 
 however, appear to have been always divided as they are at present. 
 Acts xiii. 33. 
 
 ITS MODERN DIVISIONS. 
 
 THE present arrangement of the Scriptures into chapters, is of 
 modern date. Some attribute it to Stephen Langton, Arch- 
 bishop of Canterbury, in the reigns of John and Henry III. But 
 the true author of the invention was Hugo de San< to Caro, com- 
 monly called Hugo Cirdinalis, because he was the first Dominican 
 that ever was raised to the degree of cardinal. This Hugo flour- 
 ished bout A. D. 1240; he wrote a comment on the Scriptures, and 
 projected the first concordance, which is that of the vulgar Latin 
 Bible. The aim of this work being for the easier finding out any 
 word or passage in the Scriptures, he found it necessary to divide 
 the book into sections, and the sections into subdivisions ; for 
 until that time the vulgar Latin Bibles were without any division. 
 These sections are the chapters into which the Bible has ever since 
 been divided ; but the sub-division of the chapters was not then 
 into verses, as now. Hugo's method of subdividing them was by the 
 letters A, B, C, D, E, F, G, placed in the margin, at an equal dis- 
 tance from each other, according to the length of the chapters. 
 The subdivision of the chapters into verses, as they now stand in 
 our Bibles, had its original from a famous Jewish rabbi, named 
 Mordecai Nathan, about 1445. This rabbi, in imitation of Hugo 
 Cardinalis, drew up a concordance to the Hebrew Bible, for the use 
 of the Jews. But though he followed Hugo in his divisions into 
 chapters, he refined upon his subdivisions, and contrived that by 
 verses. This being found to be a much more convenient method,

 it has been adhered to ever since. The present order of the several 
 books is almost the same (excepting the Apocrypha) as that made 
 by the Council of Trent. 
 
 ITS REJECTED BOOKS. 
 
 JOSEPHUS, says : — " We have not thousands of books, discord- 
 ant, and contradicting each other ; but we have only tweniy- 
 iwo, which comprehend the history of all former ages, and are 
 justly regarded as divine." The Apocryphal Books of the Old 
 Testament, according to the Romanists, are the Books of Enoch, 
 (see Jude xiv.), the third and fourth Books of Esdras, the third 
 and fourth Books of the Maccabees, the prayer of Manasseh, the 
 Testament of the Twelve Patriarchs', the Psalter of Solomon, 
 and some other pieces of this nature. The Apocryphal Books 
 of the New Testament, are the epistle of St. Barnabas, the pre- 
 tended epistle of St. Paul to the Laodiceans, several spurious 
 Gospels, Acts of the Apostles, and Revelation ; the Book of 
 Hermas, entitled the Shepherd ; Jesus Christ's Letter to Abgarus ; 
 the epistles of St. Paul to Seneca, and several other pieces of 
 like kind, as contained in the collection of the Apocryphal 
 Writings of the New Testament, made by Fabricius. While Pro- 
 testants agree with the Romanists in rejecting all those as un- 
 canonical, they have also justly rejected the books of Tobit, 
 Judith, Wisdom, Ecclesiasticus, Baruch, and ist and 2d Maccabees. 
 Two hundred and eighty-two years before the Christian era, the 
 Greek version of the Old Testament, called the Septuagint, was 
 executed at Alexandria, the books of which are the same as in our 
 Bibles. The Christian fathers, too, Origen, Athanasius, Hilary, 
 Gregory, Nazianzen, Epiphanius, and Jerome, speaking of the 
 books allowed by the Jews as sacred and canonical, agree in saying 
 that they are the same in number with the letters in the Hebrew 
 alphabet ; that is, twenty-two, and they reckon the books we have 
 already enumerated. The Jews, to whom they were first committed, 
 never varied them, whilst they were fully recognized by our Lord 
 and his Apostles. And further, on account of the lateness of the 
 time when the Scriptures of the New Testament were written, no 
 objection to them, as they are, can be offered ; for they were pub- 
 lished before that generation passed away, which were witnesses to 
 the facts they record. Also, the Apostles and Disciples publicly 
 proclaimed to the world the same things contained in their writings. 
 Thus were the New Testament Scriptures, as we now possess them, 
 delivered to the first churches.

 ITS TRANSLATIONS. 
 
 JHE first translation of the Old Testament info the Greek has 
 -JL already been mentioned. Both the Old and New Testaments 
 were afterwards translated into Latin by the primitive Christians ; 
 and while the Roman empire subsisted in Europe, the reading of the 
 Scriptures in the Latin tongue, which was the universal language of 
 that empire, prevailed everywhere; but since the face of affairs in 
 Europe has been changed, and so many different monarchies erected 
 upon the ruins of the Roman empire, the Latin tongue has by de- 
 grees grown into disuse ; whence has arisen a necessity of trans- 
 lating the Bible into the respective languages of each people. 
 This has produced as many different versions of the Scriptures in 
 the modern languages as there are different nations professing the 
 Christian religion. Of the principal of these, as well as of some 
 other ancient translations, we may enumerate in their order, Anglo 
 Saxon, Arabic, Armenian, Bengalee, Bohemian, Chaldee, Coptic, 
 Croatian, Danish, Dutch, East Indian, English, Ethiopic, Flemish, 
 French, Gaelic, Georgian, German, Gothic, Greek, Grison, Hebrew, 
 
 Icelandic, Indian, Irish, Italian, King James', Latin, Malabarian, 
 Malayan, Muscovite, Oriental, Persian, Polish, Polyglot, Rhemish, 
 Russian, Samaritan, Sclavonian, Spanish, Swedish, Syriac, Turkish, 
 and Welsh. 
 
 ITS HISTORY. 
 
 IT is supposed that the Scriptures were published in the Chaldee 
 character by Ezra, for that language being in general use 
 among the Jews, he thought it best to change the old Hebrew char- 
 acter for it, which has since then been retained only by the 
 Samaritans, among whom it is preserved to this day. Prideaux 
 is of belief that Ezra made additions in parts of the Bible, where 
 anything appeared necessary for illustration, connection or com- 
 pletion — in which he appears to have been assisted by the same 
 Spirit in which they were first written. Among such addi- 
 tions are to be considered the last chapter of Deuteronomy, 
 wherein Moses seems to give an account of his own death and 
 burial, and the succession of Joshua after him. Ezra changed 
 the names of several places which were grown obsolete, and, 
 instead of them, put their new names, by which they were 
 then called, in the text. The Jewish Canon of Scripture was 
 then fixed upon by Ezra, yet not so but that several variations have 
 been made in it. Malachi, for instance, could not be put in the 
 Bible by him, since that prophet is allowed to have lived after 
 Ezra; nor could Nehemiah be there, since that book mentions 
 (chap. xii. 22), Jaddua, as high priest, and Darius Codomanus, as 
 King of Persia, who were at least one hundred years later than 
 Ezra. It may be added that, in the First Book of Chronicles, the 
 genealogy of the sons of Zerubbabel is carried down for so many 
 generations, as must -necessarily bring it to the time of Alexander; 
 and consequently this book, or at least this part of it, could not be 
 in the canon in Ezra's days. It is quite probable the two Books of 
 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, and Malachi, were adopted 
 into the Bible in the time of Simon the Just, the last of the men 
 of the great synagogue. At first, the Jews were very reserved in 
 communicating their Scriptures to strangers ; despising and shun- 
 ning the Gentiles, they would not disclose to them any of the 
 treasures concealed in the Bible. We may add that the Egyptians, 
 Phoenicians, Arabs, and others bordering upon the Jews, in turn 
 hated them, and were therefore not very curious to'know their laws 
 or history. The first acquaintance of these nations with the Jewish 
 books, was not until after the several captivities. Josephus seems 
 surprised to find such slight footsteps of the Scripture history inter- 
 spersed in the Egyptian, Chaldean, Phoenician and Grecian his- 
 tory ; and accounts for it hence, that the sacred books were not as 
 yet translated into Greek or other languages, and consequently not 
 known to the writers of those nations. The first version of the 
 Bible was that of the Septuagint into Greek, by order of Ptolemy 
 Philadelphus ; though some maintain that only the Pentateuch was 
 then translated. 
 
 ITS ENGLISH VERSIONS. 
 
 THE first English Bible was that translated by John Wickliffe, 
 about the year 1360, and unprinted — of which there- are 
 several manuscript copies in public libraries. J. de Trevisa, who ( 
 died in 1398, is also said to have made a translation of the Bible. 
 The first printed Bible in English was that translated by Wm. 
 Tindal, assisted by Miles Coverdale, printed in 1526; but most of 
 the copies were bought up and burnt. It only contained the New 
 Testament, and was revised and republished in 1530. The pro- 
 logues and prefaces annexed to it reflect on the bishops and

 clergy; but this edition was also suppressed, and the copies 
 burnt. In 1532, Tindal and his associates finished the whole 
 Bible, except the Apocrypha, and printed it ; but, while after- 
 wards preparing a second edition, he was taken up and burnt for 
 heresy in Flanders. On Tindal's death, his work was carried 
 on by Coverdale, and John Rogers, superintendent of an English 
 Church in Germany, and the first martyr in the reign of Queen 
 Mary, who translated the Apocrypha, and revised Tindal's trans- 
 lation, comparing it with the Hebrew, Greek, Latin and German, 
 and adding prefaces and notes from Luther's Bible. It was 
 printed at Hamburgh, and license was obtained for publishing 
 it in England, by the favor of Archbishop Cranmer and Bishops 
 Latimer and Shaxton. The first Bible printed by authority in 
 England, and publicly set up in churches, was the same Tindal's 
 version, revised and compared with the Hebrew, and amended by 
 Miles Coverdale, afterwards bishop of Exeter ; and examined after 
 him by Archbishop Cranmer, who added a preface to it ; whence it 
 was called Cranmer's Bible. It was published in 1540; and, by a 
 royal proclamation, every parish was obliged to place one of the 
 copies in their church, under penalty ; yet, two years later, the 
 popish bishops obtained its suppression by the king. It was re- 
 stored under Edward VI., suppressed again under Queen Mary, 
 restored again in the first year of Queen Elizabeth, and a new edi- 
 tion prepared in 1562. Some English exiles at Geneva, in Queen 
 Mary's reign (Coverdale, Goodman, Gilbie, Sampson, Cole, Wit- 
 tingham and Knox), made a new translation, printed there in 1560, 
 the New Testament having been printed in 1557 ; hence called the 
 Geneva Bible, containing the variations of readings, marginal an- 
 notations, etc. Archbishop Parker determined on a new transla- 
 tion for the public use of the church, and engaged the bishops, and 
 other learned men, upon the work. This, printed in 1568, in large 
 folio, made what was called the Great English Bible, or the Bishop's 
 Bible. In 1589 it was published in octavo, copying after the Ge- 
 neva Bible in distinction of verses. This, in 1572, was printed in 
 large folio, with corrections and several prolegomena, and called 
 Matthew Parker's Bible. This translation was used in the churches 
 for forty years, though the Geneva Bible was more used privately. 
 
 After the translation of the Bible by the bishops, two other pri- 
 vate versions were made of the New Testament; the first by Lau- 
 rence Thompson, from Beza's Latin edition, published in 1582 and 
 1589; the second by the papists at Rheims, in 1584, called the 
 Rhemish translation. These finding it impossible to keep the peo- 
 ple from having the Scriptures, resolved to give a version as favora- 
 ble to their cause as might be. It retained a multitude of Hebrew 
 and Greek words untranslated. About thirty years after their New 
 Testament, the Roman Catholics published a translation of the Old, 
 at Douay, 1609 and 1610, from the Vulgate, with annotations. The 
 last English Bible was that which proceeded from Hampton Court 
 Conference, in 1603 ; where, exceptions being made to the Bishops' 
 Bible, King James ordered a new one. Fifty-four learned men were 
 appointed to the task — which number seems to have declined, before 
 the task was actually begun, in 1607, to about forty-seven. They 
 were ranged under six divisions. The Bible resulting from their 
 labors, covering a space of about three years, was published in 1613, 
 with a dedication to James, and a learned preface. It is commonly 
 called King James's Bible. Subsequently, all the other versions fell 
 into disuse, except the Epistles and Gospels in the Common Prayer 
 Book, which were still continued, according to the bishops' transla- 
 tion, till the alteration of the liturgy in 166 1. It has been well said 
 by the judicious Selden, in reference to this Bible, "The English 
 translation of the Bible is the best translation in the world, and 
 renders the sense of the original best; taking in for the English 
 translation, the Bishops' Bible, as well as King James's. The trans- 
 lators in King James's time took an excellent way. That part of 
 
 the Bible was given to him who was most excellent in such a tongue 
 (as the Apocrypha to Andrew Downs), and then they met together, 
 and one read the translation, the rest holding in their hands some 
 Bible, either of the learned tongues, or French, Spanish or Italian, 
 &c. If they found any fault, they spoke; if not, he read on." 
 The following were the instructions given to the translators: 
 
 1. The Bishops' Bible, usually read in the church, to be followed, 
 and as little altered as the original will permit. 
 
 2. The names of prophets and others were to be retained, as 
 nearly as may be, as they are vulgarly used. 
 
 3. The old ecclesiastical words to be kept. 
 
 4. When any word hath divers significations, that to be kept 
 which hath been most commonly used by the most eminent fathers, 
 being agreeable to the propriety of the place and the analogy of 
 faith. 
 
 5. The division of the chapters to be altered either not at all, or 
 as little as possible. 
 
 6. No marginal notes to be affixed, but only for the explanation 
 of Hebrew and Greek words. 
 
 7. Such quotations of places to be marginally set down as may 
 serve for fit reference of one Scripture to another. 
 
 8 and 9. State plan of translation. Each company of translators 
 to take its own books; each person to bring his own corrections. 
 The company to discuss them, and, having finished their work, to 
 send it on to another company, and so on. 
 
 10. Provides for differences of opinion between two companies 
 by referring them to a general meeting. 
 
 11. Gives power, in cases of difficulty, to consult any scholars. 
 
 12. Invites suggestions from any quarter. 
 
 13. Names the directors of the work: Andrews, Dean of West- 
 minster; Barlow, Dean of Chester; and the Regius Professors of 
 Hebrew and Greek at both Universities. 
 
 14. Names translations to be followed when they agree more with 
 the original than the Bishops' Bible, sc, Tindal's, Coverdale's, 
 Matthew's, Whitchurch's (Cranmer's) and Geneva. 
 
 15. Authorizes universities to appoint three or four overseers of 
 the work. 
 
 Upon the completion of the work, it was placed under the care 
 of a select few. Two from each of three groups were selected, who 
 met in London to superintend the publication. The final correc- 
 tion, and the work of writing the arguments of the several books, 
 was given to Bilson, Bishop of Winchester, and Dr. Miles Smith, 
 the latter of whom also wrote the Dedication and Preface. 
 
 There have been various English Bibles with marginal references, 
 such as by Canne, Hayes, Parker, Scattergood, Field, Tennison, 
 Lloyd, Blayney, Wilson, Brown and Scott. 
 
 ITS SPREAD IN THE UNITED STATES. 
 
 THE first edition of the Bible printed in this country, was a 
 translation into the North American Indian language, by 
 John Eliot, issued in quarto, at Cambridge, in 1685. Its title 
 was: " Mamusse Wunneetupanatamwe Up-Biblum God naneswe 
 Nukkone Testament kah wonk Wusku Testament. Ne quosh- 
 kinnumuk nashpe Wuttineumoh Christ noh osc 00 wesit John 
 Eliot." The language in which it was written is now almost, 
 if not altogether, extinct. Several years ago, the statement was 
 made that but one man remained who could read it. The next 
 Bible printed in this country was that of Saur's, in 1743, in the 
 German language. The first English edition was issued in Boston, 
 in 1752, of a small quarto size. Since then, between fifteen hun- 
 dred and two thousand different editions, or portions thereof, 
 have been printed in the United States. It has become by far 
 the most widely circulated of books, and has had more to do

 with improvements, learning and general prosperity, than all 
 others combined. Everywhere upon our government, its institu- 
 tions, and the people — as well as upon the simple geography of 
 the land — it has made its deep, broad marks. It has found its 
 way into almost every home, and has so built itself up in the hearts 
 and minds of the people, that wherever a society or community 
 gathers together, temples to God are speedily erected, and the Gos- 
 pel of Christ freely dispensed. The American Bible Society alone, 
 during the fir.-t fifty years of its operations, published and circulated 
 over twenty-one million copies of the Scriptures, and portions of it. 
 
 ITS COMPLETE MORAL EXCELLENCE. 
 
 THE characters of the large succession of individuals who in 
 the Bible have had divine communications and divine mis- 
 sions — especially of the Prophets and Apostles — are so greatly 
 superior in uniform goodness to those found in common life, that 
 we cannot in reason allow the supposition of impious fraud and 
 imposture. Where imperfections have manifested themselves, they 
 are narrated in an undisguised and impartial manner, and fully 
 condemned. This could only be so where teachings are har- 
 moniou>ly pure and excellent; where sincere piety and ex .ltedness 
 of sentiment give confirmation to statement. The Bible contains 
 doctrines concerning God, providence, a future state, the duty 
 of man, etc., far more holy and sublime than can ever be ascribed 
 to the natural powers or conceptions of men situated as were the 
 sacred writers. And it cannot be reasonably supposed that Jewish 
 shepherds, fishermen and others should, before and after the rise 
 of heathen philosophy, so far exceed men of the greatest abilities 
 and accomplishments in every nation, except through a species of 
 divine exaltation ; for no writers of any age are so logical, so 
 
 clear, so cultured, so replete in true excellence, utility and dignity. 
 The internal value and highly exalted nature of the Bible, as ex- 
 hibited in the fact of its containing the best principles of know- 
 ledge, holiness, consolation and hope — with their importance in 
 a practical view — are fully and directly demonstrated. So feeble, 
 too, does the mind of man become in attempting to grasp at the 
 far-reaching influences and excellencies of the Word of God, that 
 he is forced, compunctively, to exclaim, after all, " It's greatest 
 glories are untold!" Within are treasures and beauties that can 
 be more exquisitely caught up by the soul than by the imperfect 
 thoughts of the mind ; within is a sanctuary, at whose oracles 
 solutions for all doubts may be found — a sweet resting-place for 
 every exiled spirit, until called into His presence who will reward 
 the faithful and true.

 THE OLD TESTAMENT. 
 
 THE NAME. 
 
 I 
 
 IT is evident, from Tertullian, that the ward Testamenlum was 
 used by the Latin Church at an early age as the equivalent of 
 the Greek word diatheke, which is made to correspond with the 
 Hebrew word Bcrith, covenant, in the Septuagint. The use of 
 Te^tamentum does not appear to have met with general acceptance 
 until a much later period, Tertullian himself giving the preference 
 to the word Instiumentum. This latter word is also used by Rufinus, 
 while Augustine uses both. Lactantius, however, used Testamentum 
 frequently. From the custom of the Latin Church, Luther adopted 
 the word Testament, though some German scholars prefer the word 
 Bund, the more coirect rendering of the Hebrew and Greek. 
 
 ITS DIVISION INTO PARTS. 
 
 THE Old Test intent was divided by the Jews into three parts — 
 the Thorah, or Law (comprising the Pentateuch), the Nebiim, 
 or Prophets (subdivided into Earlier and Later), and the Cetuvim, 
 or Hagiographa, i. e., the Holy Writings. [See "Its Ancient Divi- 
 sions and Order," in Chap. L, of Bible Hist, and Analysis.] 
 
 ITS ADDITIONS AND CHANGES. 
 
 THE opinion has been entertained that Ezra made additions in 
 several parts of the Bible, where anything seemed necessary 
 for connecting, illustrating, or completing the work; in which he 
 appears to have been assisted by the Spirit. The Jewish Canon of 
 Scripture was doubtless settled by Ezra; yet not without subsequent 
 variations. Malachi lived after him; and the names of persons one 
 hundred years later, are mentioned in Nehemiah. Also, in Fir>t 
 Chronicles, the genealogy of the sons of Zerubbabel is carried down 
 to Alexander. Altogether, it is probable that the two Books of 
 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, and Malachi, were adopted 
 into the Bible in the time of Simon the Just, the last of the men of 
 the great synagogue. 
 
 ITS VERSIONS. 
 
 THE first version of the Old Testament was that of the Septua- 
 gint into Greek, by order of Ptolemy Philadelphia ; though 
 some have maintained that only the Pentateuch was then translated. 
 The Old Testament with the New, was afterwards translated into 
 Latin for the early church ; and since the decline of Rome, and the 
 
 establishment of various governments, it has been translated for 
 the various nations. 
 
 For its divisions into chapters, verses and words, sec Article on "Its Modern Divisions," in 
 Chap. I., 01" Bible Hist, and Analysis. 
 
 ITS MANUSCRIPTS. 
 
 THE text was usually written on skins, rolled into volumes. The 
 original is still preserved to us, with the exceptions of lour 
 letters, on the Maccabsen coins, having a strong affinity to the 
 Samaritan character. This text is without vowels, accents or soph- 
 pasuks. Of private MSS. some are written in the square form, 
 others in the rabbinic or cursive character. As to the time when 
 the Samaritan was superseded by the square character, we cannot 
 now ascertain. Jewish tradition ascribes the change to Ezra. We 
 have reason to believe that in the original text the words were gen- 
 erally divided. The habit of separating words by spaces probably 
 came in with the square writing. The most ancient Hebrew manu- 
 scripts were written between the years 900 and 1100 ; but transcribed 
 from a more ancient date. 
 
 ITS PRINTED TEXT 
 
 THE most ancient printed Hebrew Bibles are those published by 
 the Jews of Italy, especially of Pesiro and Bresse. This may 
 be observed in general, that the best Hebrew Bibles are those 
 printed under the inspection of the Jews. The first complete 
 Hebrew Bible was printed at Soncino, near Cremona, in folio, 
 pointed and accentuated. Nine copies are only at present known, 
 of which one belongs to Exeter College, Oxford, England. This 
 was followed, in 1494, by the edition printed by Gersom at Brescia, 
 remarkable as the edition from which Luther's German translation 
 
 was made. 
 
 ITS GENUINENESS. 
 
 IN every important respect the genuineness of the Old Testament 
 (as also the New) has been fully established by the most intel- 
 ligent, reasonable and reliable criticism. Nothing relating to either 
 its doctrines or duties has been found to impeach or affect it. On 
 the other hand, it is fully shown that there has been no material 
 corruption in the inspired records; that through centuries they have 
 been preserved in a state of icmarkable purity. The text is sub- 
 stantially the same as that found 1700 years ago, and is fully con- 
 firmed by the results of the unwearied diligence and learning 
 brought to bear upon heaps of thoroug'ily-traced documents, gath- 
 ere 1 from the most distant and diversified parts of the distant East.

 THE MOST VALUABLE INFORMATION IN REGARD TO EACH. 
 
 NAME AND DIVISION 
 
 THE name Pentateuch is from the Greek, pente, five, and teuchos, an instrument 
 or volume, and signifies the collection of the Five Books of Moses, which are 
 Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. Modern Jews generally 
 call the whole by the name of Torah, or "the Law;" or Torath Mosheh, "the Law 
 of Moses." In the Jewish canon this portion of Scripture is termed "the Book of 
 the Law" (Deut. xxviii. 61 ; etc.), or simply "the Law" (i Chron. xvi. 40; etc.), 
 or "the Law of Moses" (Mai. iv. 4; etc.), or "the Law of the Lord" (Ezra vii. 
 10; etc.). The rabbinical title is "the five-fifths of the Law." The precise date 
 of the division into books is not agreed upon; although it is thought to be the work 
 of the Septuagint translators, the names being of Greek origin. Josephus, however, 
 states that "five books belong to Moses," without any hint of this subsequent arrange 
 ment; and the structural peculiarities of the books themselves lead to the belief that 
 lie division was original. The manuscripts of the Pentateuch form a single roll or 
 volume, divided into 669 sections, called perashioth.

 UNITY AND AUTHORSHIP. 
 
 THE unity of the Pentateuch in its present shape is now almost universally con- 
 ceded. In its composition can be fully traced its design and purpose. The 
 criticisms advanced in regard to its apparent abridgment, its interrupted thread of 
 narrative, and its alleged defects; and the suspicions that it is not the Pentateuch of 
 the earliest age; and that it must have undergone various additions and modifica- 
 tions; have been more than met. Nothing seems wanting to the completion of the 
 concurrent testimony. The mere supposition that Moses was the author is fully 
 accepted from all the circumstances of the case: 1. The art of writing was in 
 abundant use, and the Israelites in Egypt had lived in the midst of it; 2. The 
 evident necessity for a written composition had arrived, in the completion of a great 
 
 (8) 
 
BIBLE HISTORY AND ANALYSIS. 
 
 national and religious epoch, and the establishment of laws and 
 institutions founded on a great deliverance; 3. The occasion for a 
 work incorporating both the character of the institutions with the 
 history; 4. The demand for such a personage as Moses, with great 
 and original endowments, having a master mind, with clearest in- 
 sight and most remarkable self-possession — a spirit which in no 
 other prophet produced results so important to the world's history. 
 The fact of his authorship is substantiated by abundant and un- 
 questionable evidence: 1. The Pentateuch itself declares of Moses, 
 alone, that he was concerned in its composition; and nearly all of 
 Deuteronomy claims to have been written by him, as also portions 
 of Exodus and Numbers; also, we find God's explicit directions in 
 regard to authorship in Ex. xxv., together with more than one hun- 
 dred various expressions showing that the Lord communicated its 
 truths to Moses ; 2. Deuteronomy claiming its Mosaic authorship 
 everywhere presupposes the earlier books, and fully substantiates the 
 leading part of their history; 3. The subsequent Old Testament 
 Books clearly and numerously presuppose the Pentateuch, and in 
 all instances refer the authorship to Moses ; 4. The whole Jewish 
 nation previous to, and during the life of Christ, ascribed the Pen- 
 tateuch to Moses ; 5. Our Saviour and the New Testament writers 
 contribute their evidence ; 6. The claims of this evidence stand 
 uncontradicted, whilst they are endorsed by allusions from the lead- 
 ing ancient authorities of foreign nations. It may be possible that 
 earlier narratives were employed and authenticated by him to some 
 extent, as some claim; and it is clearly probable that his record 
 contains the marks of later hands in surface revision, by persons 
 properly authorized, not later than Ezra or Nehemiah ; but nothing 
 thus far adduced can in the least degree impair the conviction that 
 Moses was the author of the Pentateuch. 
 
 CONTENTS. 
 
 AT first we are furnished with a brief and wonderful history of 
 the creation of the world ; then follows the patriarchal his- 
 tory to the death of Joseph (according to Ussher), 2,369 years from 
 the creation, or 1,635 years before Christ; then follows the history 
 of the Jews as a nation to their possession of the Promised Land, 
 together with their government as revealed to Moses in the moral, 
 ceremonial and judicial law, and inaugurated by him. 
 
 GENERAL CHARA CTER. 
 
 THE Pentateuch is a wonderful book in itself; much unlike the 
 work of men, in every way; one which could not, in any 
 age, have been ventured under a new mme. It is a holy book, 
 which the descendants of its author have alw >ys received with a re- 
 spect and veneration unequalled in the annals of any nation, and 
 which has not abated after seventeen hundred years' exile, calamities 
 and reproach. In it is all the science of the Hebrews ; all of their 
 civil, political and sacred code; all of their treasure, their calendar, 
 their annals; all of their sovereigns and pontiffs ; all of their polity 
 and worship ; all of their monarchy and government ; and all of 
 their triumphs and glory. Its author has unfolded the character 
 and purposes of the Divine in a way so sublime, as to challenge all 
 other hum m composition through four thousand years.. Its revela- 
 tions and teachings breathe only virtue; its style exhibits a clear- 
 ness, simplicity and sublimity that at once approaches the light of 
 t'^e sun penetrating the darkest corners of the darkest age ; and its 
 inspiration rises so high above every conception of the human mind, 
 and is so like, in beauty and power, that which envelops and per- 
 meates every page of sacred history, that the best learning of the 
 most advanced eras have bowed do»vn before its divinity. 
 
 Genesis. 
 
 QENESIS is thus named from the Greek, genesis, or generation, 
 for the reason that it furnishes an account of the origin of 
 the earth, and a genealogy of its early inhabitants. In the Hebrew 
 it is called bereshith, signifying, in the beginning, because it begins 
 with that word. The author was Moses, who is supposed by recent 
 authorities to have made use of two distinct and ancient Hebrew 
 documents by two different authors, and that besides these he com- 
 pleted the narrative in his own words. This is based mainly upon 
 the fact that the Hebrew plural, E/ohiw, is used for God in one por- 
 tion, and the Hebrew singu'ar, Jehovah, is used in another. It is 
 the oldest volume in the world, excepting, perhaps, the book of Job ; 
 contains the most information, and embraces a period of 2,369 
 years. It furnishes fifty chapters and eleven principal sections, as 
 follows: Sect. 1. Includes the first and second ( hapters which re- 
 late to the creation; Sect. 2. The fall of our first pirents, their 
 expulsion, and the promise of a Messiah ; Sect. 3. The history of 
 Adam and descendants to time of Noah; Sect. 4. The increase of 
 sin, the destruction of the race, except Noah and family, and the 
 deluge; Sect. 5. The reinhabiting of the earth; Sect. 6. The at- 
 tempt to build Babel, the confusion of tongues and the dispersion ; 
 Sect. 7. The history of Abraham and his family; Sect. 8. The his- 
 tory of Isaic and his family; Sect. 9. The history of Jacob and 
 his family ; Sect. 10. The narrative of Joseph and brethren ; Sect. 
 11. The story of Joseph's prosperity and goodness to his father and 
 brethren. 
 
 The information given in Genesis from the creation to the call 
 of Abraham could be had from no other book in the world. The 
 most eminent men it alludes to are Adam, Cain, Abel, Enoch, Me- 
 thuselah, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph. 
 
 Exodus. 
 
 THIS book is so called from the Greek, ex, out, and odos, a 
 way, because it relates to the departure of the Israelites out 
 of Egypt. It covers a history of about a hundred and forty-five 
 years. In it we see a nation enslaved ; next a nation redeemed ; 
 and then a nation set apart, and through the blending of its reli- 
 gious and political life consecrated to the service of God. A prom- 
 inent design apparent in it, is the fulfilment of the promises and 
 prophecies delivered to Abraham in the preceding book. It was 
 written by Moses, and in point of credibility withstands all the 
 objections of the critic. The date of the book is from 2369 A. M., 
 to 2514. It is divided into forty chapters, and contains eight lead- 
 ing sections, as follows: Sect. 1. Tells the wonderful increase of 
 Jacob's descendants in Egypt, and their terrible oppression ; Sect. 2. 
 Relates the birth and life of Moses, till he was selected and directed 
 by the Lord to be the deliverer of the Israelites from bondage ; 
 Sect. 3. The high-handed wickedness of King Pharaoh, and the 
 plagues sent upon the Egyptians ; Sect. 4. The institution of the 
 Passover, and the remarkable deliverance of the Israelites ; Sect. 5. 
 The extraordinary and miraculous crossing of the Red Sea, and the 
 complete overthrow of Pharaoh and his host ; Sect. 6. The de- 
 scription of great miracles wrought for the Israelites while wander- 
 ing in the Arabian desert ; Sect 7. The giving of the Law to 
 Moses, by God, on the top of Mount Sinai; Sect. 8. The estab- 
 lishment of forms of public worslvp, together with the manner 
 of the ceremonies and sacrifices. Exodus is rendered notable on 
 account of the Plagues, the Passover, the Red Sea deliverance, the 
 Miracles of feeding during forty years in the desert, God's awful 
 majesty upon the Mount, the Golden Calf idolatry, and the 
 gorgeous and costly ceremonies for worship.

 BIBLE HISTORY AND ANALYSIS. 
 
 Leviticus. 
 
 r I "UIE third Book of Moses, which in the Hebrew is named 
 -*- Vayyikra, "and he called." The present name refers to its 
 contents, being the laws and regulations relating to the Levites, 
 priests and sacrifices ; for which cause, the Hebrews usually call it 
 the "Law of the Priests." Its historical extent is unusually con- 
 tracted, covering only one month, the first of the year b. c. 1490. 
 The code of laws contained in Leviticus stand before the ages, since 
 their promulgation, as u.irivalled in the purity of their morals, the 
 simplicity and dignity of their rites, and the comprehensiveness of 
 their nature. They exhibit the holiness of their Author, the sin- 
 fulness of man, the necessity of an atonement, and the high and 
 excellent state to which the glorious Creator has designed to elevate 
 the human soul. They point out the Gospel of Christ, and in them 
 the institution of the high priesthood typified Jesus, the great, un- 
 changeable High Priest, who can save all who come to him. The 
 epistle to the Hebrews is an inspired comment upon Leviticus, from 
 which we learn th.it the Hebrew ritual exhibited in sjmbols or 
 shadows the Gospel of our Lord and Saviour. Leviticus is divided 
 into twenty-seven ch tpters, and includes four principal sections, as 
 follows: Sect. 1. Furnishes the laws in regard to the several kinds 
 of sacrifices; Sect. 2. Enumerates the laws and ceremonies of con- 
 secrating the high priests; Sect. 3. Contains the laws referring to 
 the various purifications ; Sect. 4. Gives the laws relating to the 
 sacred festivals. The most noticeable and remarkable fact recorded 
 in Leviticus is the judgment of God upon Nadab and Abihu, sons 
 of Aaron, for kindling the incense in their censers with "strange 
 fire," /. <?., not taken from that which burned perpetually on the 
 altar. The great truth here stands forth, that God can only be 
 approached by means of his own appointment. 
 
 Numbers. 
 
 THE fourth book of the Bible, was written by Moses, and derives 
 its name from the numbering of the families of Israel, by 
 Moses and Aaron, who headed the tribes in their passage through 
 the wilderness. The Hebrew name of this book signifies, "And 
 he spake." Its title is English, and in this it is unlike the books 
 which precede and follow it. A large part of Numbers is histori- 
 cal, narrating some remarkable events, as well as various journey- 
 ings. It comprehends the history of about thirty-eight or thirty- 
 nine years, though the bulk of its information is limited to the first 
 and last of those years, ranging from b. c. 1493 t0 E - c - J 454- 
 The last verse of the closing chapter justifies the conclusion that 
 Moses, while in the plains of Moab, received the Book from the 
 Lord, and that he wrote it there. In it God manifests Himself in 
 connection with a most remarkable series of providences and occur- 
 rences, such as the miraculous support of the Israelites, with food 
 and drink, for forty years; the frequent murmurings of the people; 
 the terrible judgments of God ; the miraculous healing of the ser- 
 
 pent-bitten and dying camp; and the fruitless attempts to have 
 Israel cursed through the wicked prophet Balaam. The book is 
 divided into thirty-six chapters, and contains four principal sec- 
 tions, as follows: Sect. 1. The numbering of Lrael, and the ap- 
 pointment of the Levites to religious duties over the people ; Sect. 
 2. The ordination of various ceremonies, both civil and religious; 
 Sect. 3. The journeying of the Israelites from Mount Sinai to the 
 land of the Moabites ; and Sect. 4. The encampment of the Israel- 
 ites on the plains of Moab. The leading persomges who figure in 
 Numbers, are Joshua, the minister, and afterwards, the leader; 
 Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, who with others, were swallowed by 
 the earth, on account of rebellion; and Balaam, the prophet, who 
 undertook to do the bidding of the superstitious king of Moab. 
 Among others, this last fact furnishes numerous proofs of the high 
 antiquity of the book, whilst all its geographical statements are 
 uncommonly accurate. 
 
 Deuteronomy. 
 
 FROM dcuteros, second, and nomos, law; the Greek mme given 
 by the Alexandrian Jews to the fifth book of Moses. Its 
 Hebrew title is "these are the words." As its name indicates, it 
 furnishes a repetition of the civil and moral law, delivered to Moses 
 a second time, with some additions and explanations, and delivered 
 by the Lawgiver to assembled Israel in the second month of the 
 fortieth year of their wandering through the desert, when about to 
 cross the Jordan, and immediately before the death of Moses. 
 The Messiah is explicitly foretold in this book; and numerous 
 wonderful predictions are scattered through it, regarding the future 
 of the Jews. It concludes with an account of the death of Moses, 
 which was doubtless added by Joshua, — thereby serving as a tran- 
 sition to the book of Joshua, and to be regarded as a supplement 
 and not an interpolation. The whole seems to cover only about 
 two months of time. A very strong proof of its genuineness is in 
 its close relation to the later writings of the prophets. Its most 
 notable contents are, the striking prophecy regarding the coming 
 of the Messiah ; the prophetic song composed by Moses, for the 
 continual instruction of the people ; and the most wonderful char- 
 acter and death of its great writer. Deuteronomy is divided into 
 thirty-four chapters, containing four principal sections, as follows: 
 Sect. 1. Furnishes a sketch of God's dealings with Israel, from the 
 time of their leaving Pharaoh, during almost forty years ; Sect. 2. 
 A repetition and explanation of the laws given to the generation 
 preceding that about to enter Palestine; Sect. 3. The solemn con- 
 firmation of the Law of Moses, with various earnest exhortations to 
 obedience; and Sect. 4. The closing career of Moses, the appoint- 
 ment of Joshua as his successor, the charge to Joshua, the song of 
 Moses, his final blessing of the tribes, and his death. The book, 
 with the preceding ones, brings the history of the world down to 
 the year b. c. 145 1.

 THE first seven of these books were included among the prophets by the Jews, for the 
 reason, doubtless, that they emanated from men of a prophetic character, while the 
 remaining five were placed among the Hagiographa. They were termed by the Jews "The 
 Former Prop h ets . " 
 
 THEIR PRESERVATION. 
 
 THE Tabernacle, and subsequently the Temple, was made the proper place for the Book 
 of the Law, with the series of writings following, and called the "Historical Books." 
 They were kept with scrupulous care, and copies thereof were spread among the people ; and 
 as, in time, other writings, containing useful narratives or valuable predictions, were prepared, 
 they were consigned to the same national repository, alongside the rest of their treasured 
 literature, and sacredly guarded. Thus it is evident that the Jews were made the medium of 
 transmitting the knowledge, the antiquity of which places it at the head of all instruction 
 known to the world, while its variety of subject renders it of the utmost value to every age. 
 They tenaciously, perseveringly and successfully, under the supervision of Jehovah, preserved 
 that which was so much needed for the guidance of the after races. 
 
 THEIR DIVINE CHARACTER. 
 
 AND the philosophy, history, geography and chronology in the preceding books, as also 
 those now under consideration, entitle them all to the most profound human respect, 
 while the system of theology and religion therein revealed clearly and unmistakably proves 
 them to be a revelation from God — a marvel of wisdom, grandeur and truth above every 
 effort of man's conception, and pregnant with the Spirit th.it has made the whole Scriptures 
 triumphant among the nations.

 BIBLE HISTORY AND ANALYSIS. 
 
 Joshua. 
 
 THIS book furnishes the history of the conquest of Canaan, and 
 takes its name from the personage who holds the principal 
 place in the narration of its events. It presents a series of miracles 
 than which none more remarkable are recorded in sacred history. 
 The Pentateuch, with which it is closely connected, is frequently 
 referred to in it. Authorities estimate the period of time which it 
 covers variously, at from seventeen to thirty years — with an appa- 
 rent leaning toward the latter figures. It cannot but be received as 
 a most valuable link in the chain of Israel's records, and is to the 
 Pentateuch what the Acts of the Apostles are to the Gospels. Both 
 Jews and Christians almost universally believe Joshua to have written 
 it, and that, as in the instance of the author of the preceding books, 
 the account of the closing life of Joshua was added by a later 
 prophet. The most prominent events given in this book are, the 
 dividing of the Jordan to afford the priests and people a passage 
 into the midst of the land; the appearing of Jesus Christ to Joshua 
 as the Captain of the Lord's host to encourage Joshua in the con- 
 quest of Canaan ; the falling down of the walls of Jericho at the 
 appointed sounding of the rams' horns; and the standing still of 
 the sun and moon for a whole day at the word of Joshua. It is 
 divided into twenty-four chapters, and contains three principal sec- 
 tions, as follows: Sect. i. Tells of the conquest of Canaan, by 
 Joshua ; Sect. 2. Relates the division of the country among the 
 various tribes; Sect. 3. Presents the final and affecting admonition, 
 and the pious and glorious death of the upright, earnest and venera- 
 ble Joshua. The Hebrew name Joshua, is equivalent to the Greek 
 word Jesus, both signifying Saviour; and the character of the for- 
 mer is evident typical of the great Captain of our Salvation, in 
 bringing his followers through every difficulty, and even death, to 
 the heavenly land. 
 
 of Israel by their enemies, also, their several deliverances, upon re- 
 pentance before the Lord, by their judges, from Othniel to Samson ; 
 Sect. 3. Embracing the last five chapters, furnish some particulars 
 regarding the times of the former part of the book. 
 
 Judges. 
 
 THE name of this book is adopted from that of the office of the 
 thirteen leaders who figured prominently during 305 years, 
 from the death of Joshua to the death of Samson. These leaders 
 or judges were persons whom God at different times raised up from 
 the several tribes, and having endowed them with courage and wis- 
 dom, qualified them to govern his people. The book itself displays 
 the certain and fearful calamities that befall national wickedness, 
 and the consequences inseparable from disobedience to law. It 
 portrays in the most conclusive way the patience and long-suffering 
 of God toward the Israelites, alternating at times between wonder- 
 ful displays of justice and mercy. It is rich in lessons of warning 
 to people in eveiy age of the world. It warns against the sin of 
 presumption, because God stands out unmistakably as just ; and it 
 as plainly dispels every cloud of despondency, or deep despair, for 
 God is merciful. Among the most wonderful and interesting infor- 
 mation it gives, are the accounts of Gideon, Barak, Jephthah, and 
 Samson. Critics are not fully agreed as to who the author of this 
 book was. Some have attributed it variously to Phinehes, Heze- 
 kiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Ezra, and some unknown prophet. The 
 Jews, however, believe that it was written by Samuel, and their 
 opinion seems not only reasonable, but highly probahle ; for the 
 author lived at a time when the Jebu-;ites were masters of Jerusalem, 
 and consequently before David ; and the Hebrew commonwealth 
 appears to have been then governed by kings, since the author ob- 
 serves, in several places, that at such a time there was no king in 
 Israel. Judges is divided into twenty-one chapters, and three prin- 
 cipal sections, as follows: Sect. 1. Gives a brief account of the 
 Israelites during the elders who survived Joshua and the wickedness 
 of the next generation , Sect. 2. Contains a record of the oppression 
 
 Ruth. 
 
 THIS book presents an interesting and charming narrative of a 
 Moabitess, of the name it bears, brought into intimate rela- 
 tion with the stock of Israel, under peculiar circumstances. In her 
 native country she had married into an Israelitish family, which 
 had removed thither in a season of famine. On the death of her 
 husband, having been drawn closely by affection, and a love of true 
 religion, to her mother-in-law, she forsook her home and country 
 to unite with God's people in Israel. The book may be regarded 
 as a supplement to Judges, to which it was joined in the Hebrew 
 canon. We are not informed when Ruth lived ; but as King David 
 was her great-grandson, we may place her history about B. c. 1250. 
 This book was evidently written after the birth of David, and most 
 likely by the prophet Samuel, although some have attributed it to 
 Hezekiah, and others to Ezra. Its canonical authority has never 
 been questioned. The simple manners of Ruth; the noble charity 
 of Boaz, and his recognition of his kindred with Ruth, as also her 
 claims, afford a very entertaining relief from the turbulent scenes 
 depicted in the book of Judges. The respect, also, which the 
 Israelites paid to the law of Moses, and their observance of ancient 
 customs, are set forth in a lively and highly instructive manner. 
 Ruth has been looked upon as both a type and a pledge of the 
 calling of the Gentiles into the Church of Christ. The Book of 
 Ruth has four chapters, the purpose of which seems to be of a two- 
 fold character: 1. To point out some particulars of a Gentile ex- 
 traction in the genealogy of the Messiah, in the line of Judah to 
 David ; 2. To show the watchful care of Divine Providence over 
 those who truly fear the Lord and put their trust in him. In regard 
 to the former of these, we cannot forbear the conclusion that the 
 descent of our Saviour from Ruth, a Gentile woman, was a clear 
 intimation of the comprehensive nature of the Christian dispensa- 
 tion. Various commentators have expressed a similar conviction. 
 
 First Samuel. 
 
 IN the original Hebrew the division between the two Books of 
 Samuel is not found; they are there called "The Book of 
 Samuel," and are a continuous work. That they form one treatise 
 is apparent from their structure. They are also called the First and 
 Second Book of Kings. It is believed that the first twenty-four 
 chapters of the first book were written by Samuel, and the remain- 
 der of both by the prophets Nathan and Gad. Some have supposed 
 that the whole was written under Rehoboam. The opinion is en- 
 tertained, by many authorities, that in the preparation of both Books 
 of Samuel, use was made of other records which are now lost. 
 These books are portions of the national records of the Israelites, 
 preserved by several of their prophets. This first book is full of in- 
 teresting and valuable narratives, the most wonderful of which are 
 the early historbs of Samuel and David. The estrangement of 
 Saul from the worship of Jehovah ; his ingratitude, and treachery 
 to the slayer of Goliath, as also his wicked persecution of him, and 
 his own final overthrow and death, and the terrible ruin of his 
 family, are put forward in marked contrast with the results produced 
 by sincere godliness. David has always been looked upon as a dis- 
 tinguished type of Christ, in the many and severe persecutions he 
 endured on his way to the throne, and in his final exaltation above 
 all his enemies. The First Book of Samuel covers a period of

 an( 
 
 about eighty years, from the birth of Samuel to the death of Saul. 
 It is divided into thirty-one chapters, and contains three principal 
 sections, as follows: Sect. i. Records an account of Eli, who was 
 priest and judge of his degenerate sons, and of the birth of Samuel ; 
 Sect. 2. Tells the history of Samuel, and of his being divinely 
 called to the offices of both prophet and judge ; Sect. 3. Furnishes 
 the history of Saul, who was appointed of God to be the first king 
 over Israel. Then we find this book to relate to the last two judges, 
 
 and first two kings of Israel. 
 
 Second Samuel. 
 
 THIS is a continuation of the national records of Israel under 
 David, who was placed upon the throne of Judah, upon the 
 death of Saul, and was seven years afterward, upon the death of 
 Ishbosheth, made king over the whole people. The most promi- 
 nent things narrated in this book are David's sinning against God 
 in the case of Uriah and his wife, his deep repentance and humilia- 
 tion, and the rebellion and death of Absalom. In David's fall we 
 behold how sin can bring upon even the most highly favored of 
 God's creatures terrible punishments, and how a return to right- 
 eousness, and the faithful observance of His laws, can restore to 
 honor, power and blessing. This book is divided into thirty-four 
 chapters, which contain three principal sections, as follows : Sect. 
 1. Narrates the achievements and prosperous condition of David's 
 kingdom ; Sect. 2. Records the troubles of David, brought upon 
 him by sinning against God, after having enjoyed the most remarka- 
 ble evidences of Divine favor and goodness ; Sect. 3. Relates the 
 fact of the re-establishment of David upon his throne, after his 
 genuine repentance before God, and furnishes a record of the final 
 years of his reign. For romance, grandeur, intrepidity and touch- 
 ingness, in human characters, the Books of Samuel have certainly 
 no parallel in the books of the Old Testament. They show us how 
 a ruler, with wisdom, valor and energy, built up, from almost a 
 total state of disorganization, if not subjection, a small race of peo- 
 ple, to the rank of a great, powerful and wealthy kingdom ; how 
 that God is a jealous God, rewarding obedience — and, on the other 
 hand, smiting those who reject his teachings. 
 
 First Kings. 
 
 THE two Books of Kings, like the two preceding ones, formed 
 originally but one book in the Jewish Scriptures, and their 
 name was, from their first words, " Now King David." The present 
 division, is first traced to the Septuagint translation, where they 
 occur as the Third and Fourth books of the Reigns, or Kingdoms ; 
 the two books of Samuel being the first two. In them is contained 
 the national records of the Israelites, continued through a space of 
 about 426 years, from the accession of Solomon till the dissolution 
 of the commonwealth. They present the fame and glory of Israel 
 under Solomon, the division of the nation under Rehoboam, his 
 son ; the decline of the two kingdoms, the total overthrow of 
 Israel, and the subversion and captivity of Judah. In them, king, 
 church and state are comprised in their sacred relations. Thus, it 
 is a theocratic history, a retrospective survey of the kingdoms as 
 existing under a theocratic government. The authorship we have 
 no means of knowing anything certain about ; Jewish tradition as- 
 cribes them to Jeremiah ; others claim that they were written by 
 Ezra, and some pupil of Jeremiah; others suppose that David, 
 Solomon, and Hezekiah wrote the histories of their own reigns, 
 that the prophets Nathan, Gad, Isaiah, Iddo and others were the 
 historians of their respective times, and that the whole were arranged 
 in their present form and order by Ezra. The uniformity of style 
 
 favors the conclusion that they were put into their present shape by 
 the same person. The First Book of Kings comprises the history 
 of the Israelites for about 126 years, from the anointing of Solo- 
 mon, 1015 years B. c, to the death of Jchoshaphat, 889 years B. c, 
 and is divided into twenty-two chapters, which include two princi- 
 pal sections, as follows : Sect. 1. Furnishes a somewhat detailed ac- 
 count of Solomon's succession to the throne of Israel while his 
 father David was yet living, and of his great prosperity and mag- 
 nificence as sovereign of Canaan ; Sect. 2. Tells of the division of 
 Israel into two kingdoms, through the weakness of Rehoboam, with 
 the history of both, to the death of Jehoshaphat, King of Judah. 
 
 Second Kings. 
 
 THIS book embraces a period of about 300 years, from the death 
 of Jehoshaphat 889 years b. c. to the destruction of Jerusalem 
 and its magnificent temple by Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, 
 588 years b. c. It thus continues the national records of the Israel- 
 ites. The Books of Kings are a fulfilment of the Mosaic warnings, 
 and the author has evidently kept this idea steadily before him. 
 He has given a short history of his people, arranged in such way 
 as to show that the government was essentially theocratic, that its 
 spirit, as developed in the Mosaic writings, was never extinct, how- 
 ever modified or inactive it might at times appear. Allusions to 
 the Mosaic code are found more frequently toward the end of the 
 second book, when the kingdom was approaching near to its termi- 
 nation, as if to account for its decay and approaching fate. We 
 may here remark that the nation of the ten tribes had nineteen 
 sovereigns, all of whom were irreligious and wicked men. Through 
 their impious policy the national guilt was increased, and at length 
 the people were brought to ruin. Judah also had many wicked 
 sovereigns, but there were several of their kings who truly feared 
 the Lord, and by their endeavors to reclaim and reform the people, 
 the divine judgments were for a time averted. This Second Book 
 of Kings is divided into twenty-five chapters, which include two 
 chief sections, as follows: Sect. 1. Continues the history of the 
 two nations, Israel and Judah, until that of Israel was destroyed in 
 a total captivity by the Assyrians; Sect. 2. Furnishes the remaining 
 history of the kingdom of Judah, until the conquest of Judea by 
 Nebuchadnezzar, and the destruction of Jerusalem, when the sur- 
 viving people, except some of the peasantry, were led captive to 
 Babylon. The notable events in this book are, the close of the 
 ministry and the translation of Elijah, the ministry of Elisha, the 
 ruin of Israel's kingdom, the destruction of Jerusalem and the cap- 
 tivity of the Jews in Babylon on account of their idolatry. 
 
 First and Second Chronicles. 
 
 THESE two books were but one in the Hebrew, and were called 
 Dibri-Jamin, "Words of Diys," that is, "the Annals." 
 They are "called Paralipomena, or " things omitted," in the Septua- 
 gint, as if a supplement to the preceding books. To St. Jerome is 
 first credited the name of Chronicles. The purpose of these books 
 seems to have been to set forth the genealogies of the Jews, as these 
 were the sole proofs of the priests and Levites, of the justice of 
 their claims to their offices and incomes. They were especially 
 valuable to the Jews after their return from captivity in reorganizing 
 the Temple service, and interests of the people in the land. The 
 descendants of the patriarchs, from whom the Saviour of the world 
 should come, are here marked with precision. These genealogies 
 occupy the former part of the first book. The second book con- 
 tains a short sketch of Jewish history, from Solomon's accession to 
 the return from Babylonish captivity, being a period of four him-

 dred and eighty years. In both books there are many important 
 facts not noticed elsewhere in the Bible. The authorship of them 
 is involved in doubt. Some have attributed them to Daniel; but 
 the impression generally prevails, especially among the Jews, that 
 Ezra compiled them. If the former, they were written from 604 to 
 534 B. c. ; if the lmter, not far from 458 B. c. Twelve different 
 works (official records) are alluded to having been used in their 
 compilation. The diction is clearly adapted to the age following 
 the captivity, and greatly resembles that of Ezra, Nehemiah, and 
 E ther, all of which were written shortly after the return from 
 Babylon. It is m xtd with Aramaisms, which indicate the decline 
 of the Jews in power, and the corruption of their language The 
 Chronicles contain four principal sections, as follows: Sect. 1. Fur- 
 nishes genealogical tables from A '.am to Ezra; Sect. 2. N rrates 
 the histories of Israel under their first kings, Saul and David ; Sect. 
 3. Tells the history of the united kingdom in its most flourishing 
 condition under Solomon ; and Sect. 4. Gives the history of Jud di 
 under its several kings, from the succession of the ten tribes to the 
 Babylonish captivity. 
 
 Ezra. 
 
 THIS book carries the Jewish history through a period of seventy- 
 nine years, beginning with the edict of Cyrus. It was written 
 and compiled by the priest and scribe whose name it bears, and who 
 was a direct descendant of Aaron, and succeeded Zerubbabel in the 
 government of Judea. From the eighth verse of the fourth chapter to 
 to the twenty-seventh verse of the seventh chapter it was written in 
 Chaldee; probably this was done because it contained principally 
 letters and decrees in that language, the original words of which 
 were deemed prelerable; and because, too, the people were then as 
 f mdiar with the Chaldee tongue as they were with the Hebrew. 
 r I his book begins with the repetition of the last two verses of the 
 Second Book of Chronicles, and terminates suddenly with the state- 
 ment of the divorces effected by his authority, by which the mar- 
 riages of Israelites with foreign women were dissolved. The 
 arrangement of the book throughout is chronological. It is di- 
 vided into ten chapters, and contains two principal sections, as 
 fo'lows: Sec f . 1. Records the return of the Jews to Judea, under 
 Zerubbabel, and the rebuilding, after a variety of hindrances, of 
 the temple of Jerusalem ; Sect. 2. Tells of the arrival at Jerusalem 
 of Ezra, the priest, and his reformation in the ordinances of reli- 
 gion, according to the law of Moses. The most remarkable circum- 
 stance related is the sovereign influence of Divine Providence, by 
 which Cyrus was led to grant deliverance to the captive Jews, and 
 at the same time to restore the sacred vessels which had been taken 
 from the temple of God at Jerusalem. Thus much has been said 
 in regard to the canonical Book of Ezra ; there are, however, four 
 books that have received his name, viz , the book noticed above, 
 which was the only one, having his name, that was received into 
 the Hebrew canon ; the Book of Nehemiah, having a similarity of 
 contents with that of Ezra ; and the two Apocryphal Books of Es- 
 dra^. The zeal and piety of Ezra are apparent in all his writings, 
 and his memory has always been revered by the Jews as second only 
 to that of Moses. 
 
 Kehemiah. 
 
 AS a record of the improvements in Jerusalem, after the Baby- 
 lonish captivity, and the reformation among the people, the 
 Book of Nehemiah is valuable. The author was one of the Jewish 
 captives selected by the Persian monarch as cup-bearer — a station 
 of honor and influence. This book was anciently connected with 
 that of Ezra, doubtless because of its holding the place, to some 
 
 extent, of a continuation of the latter. Its canonical character is 
 fully attested by very ancient testimony. Nehemiah names himself 
 as its author in the beginning, and writes uniformly in the first per- 
 son. The time to which his book relates is several years after that 
 of the history of Ezra, than whom he arrived at Jerusalem about 
 thirteen years later; and after he governed Judea about twelve years 
 he returned to Artaxerxes, who gave him a new commission — with 
 which he went again to Jerusalem, and ruled among the Jews, al- 
 together, about thirty-four years. His book closed the Old Testa- 
 ment history at his death, A. m. 3584, and B. c. 420. The work 
 can scarcely be regarded as a history of Nehemiah and his times ; 
 it is rather a collection of notices of important affairs happening in 
 the first year of his government, with other notices from his later 
 history. Evidently, a smaller portion of it was compiled from 
 other books. It is divided into thirteen chapters, containing four 
 principal sections, as follows: Sect. 1. Refers to the departure of 
 Nehemiah from Shushan with the royal commission to Jerusalem; 
 Sect. 2. Tells of the building of the walls of Jerusalem ; Sect. 3. 
 Relates to the reformation of the ordination of religion, and the 
 sealing of the covenant to serve the Lord ; and Sect. 4. Records 
 the second reformation among the people. The most remarkable 
 thing recorded in this book is, the rare and exceedingly excellent 
 character of Nehemiah. For prudence, patrio'isni, philanthropy, 
 courage, zeal, and every virtue that ennobles man, and shows a soul 
 to enjoy deep communion with God, he will ever rise conspicuously 
 among the greatest men who figured in Hebrew history. 
 
 Esther 
 
 IN Hebrew this book is named Megillah Esther, or "The Volume 
 of Esther." In the Christian Church it has also been called 
 Ahasuerus. The authorship is involved in doubt. It has been 
 attributed to Ezra, to the "Great Synagogue," to others, and to 
 Morde.-ai himself. The last named seems, from existing testimony, 
 to have been the writer ; and he, in all probability, wrote it near 
 the close of Xerxes' reign (this monarch being regarded as the 
 Ahasuerus mentioned), in the neighborhood of B. c. 440. It re- 
 cords a wonderful display of Divine Providence in the elevation of an 
 orphan Jewish captive to the throne of Persia, and a remarkable 
 deliverance of the Jews by her means. This occurred in the time 
 of Ezra. The feast of Purim, instituted in commemoration of this 
 deliverance of the Jews, has been observed by that people ever 
 since. The Jews hold this book in veneration next to the books of 
 Moses. It is a very noticeable fact that it does not once mention 
 the name of God, — at which many old commentators were no little 
 surprised and annoyed. But this is explained by supposing that 
 the author wished to avoid g ving offence to the Persians, or that 
 the whole is taken from the Persian records, which are appealed to 
 in one of (x. 2.) its chapters. Some doubts have been thrown upon 
 its canonicity ; but it does not seem to have been ever doubted by 
 the Jews, or the Christian Church. It is divided into ten chapters, 
 and contains three sections, as follows: Sect. 1. Records the eleva- 
 tion of Esther from a state of captive degradation to be queen of 
 Persia, and the services which her uncle Mordecai rendered to the 
 king; Sect. 2. Narrates the advancement of Hainan, and his wicked 
 contrivance to effect the extirpation of the Jews ; Sect. 3. Tells of 
 the overthrow of Hainan's plot, and his ignominious punishment, 
 with the destruction of his family. In the Greek and Latin versions 
 some additions to this book are found, inserted at various places, 
 eidier in chapters or verses — all of which are regarded as purely 
 apocryphal by the Protestant Church. We have abundant testi- 
 mony, in the observances of the Jews for ages, to the truth of the 
 original narrative given in Esther.

 GENERAL CHAR A CTER. 
 
 THE Book of Job has been especially distinguished as doctrinal, evincing as it 
 does the maintenance of the principal articles of the true faith at so remote a 
 period ; the Psalms as devotional and prophetical, designed as they are to assist the 
 pious every time in profitable and acceptable worship, and exhibiting also the Saviour 
 of the world, as well as the varied experience of the true believer ; the Proverbs as 
 practical, containing wisdom in brief sentences, readily stored away in the mind, and 
 applicable to every variety of human character and attainment ; the Ecclesiastes as 
 penitential, portraying the humiliation and repentance of one who was wise and ex- 
 perienced above all others, and who unfeignedly returned to the Lord; and the Song 
 of Solomon as experimental, representing, the progress of a mystical union. 
 
 STYLE OF COMPOSITION. 
 
 AMONG these, prominently, is the Book of Psalms, having evidently a peculiar 
 conformation of sentences and a measured distribution of pirts; many being 
 elegiac, and most of those ascribed to David, of the lyric kind. Then follows Pro- 
 verbs, with its short aphorisms, and sententious moral and prudential maxims, usually 
 expressed in numbers, or rhythm, or antithesis. Then Job, with its prologue, dis- 
 course and epilogue, without either which it would form but an incomplete poem. 
 Then Ecclesiastes, which, in point of form, is as much prose as poetry, having only 
 its poetical passages interspersed. And, finally, Solomon's Song, a sacred poem, re- 
 plete with dramatic effect.

 BIBLE HISTORY AND ANALYSIS. 
 
 Job. 
 
 THIS is the oldest of the books of the Bible, and the oldest 
 literary composition known to the world. It furnishes an 
 account of the singular piety, riches, afflictions, and restoration of 
 that extraordinary personage, who lived in Idumea, on the borders 
 of Arabia and Egypt. The date of its composition has been fixed 
 before the Exodus, and about 1520 years before Christ. Many 
 commentators, however, place him more than a hundred years before 
 the time of Abraham, and reasonably reg ird him as a connecting 
 link in the Church of God between Noah and Abraham. The book 
 was most probably written by Job himself, and afterwards changed 
 or perfected by Moses, or some other editor. Opinions have for 
 many centuries differed as to the nationality of Job; some believing 
 him to have been an Israelite ; others an Arab prince, or emir. The 
 latter is, more probably, the correct supposition. Among other 
 points of important evangelical doctrine we learn from the Book of 
 Job, that the creation of the universe was by one supreme Being; 
 that the government of the world is by the wonderful and universal 
 providence of the Creator ; that the providential government of 
 Almighty God is carried on by the ministry of an intelligent order 
 of his creatures ; that a part of these glorious beings are fallen from 
 their original loyalty, dignity and felicity, and are become apostates, 
 of whom Satan is the chief; that these superior creatures, both good 
 and bad, are subject to their Creator, to whom they are required to 
 render an account ; that every descendant of Adam partakes of his 
 fallen nature ; that God would be propitious to sinners by means of 
 an atonement ; that God tries his most eminent servants ; that the 
 promise of a Messiah was cherished by many; and that the right- 
 eous were consoled by a belief in a general resurrection and future 
 state of felicity. It is divided into forty-two chapters, containing 
 five sections, as follows : Sect. 1. Records Job's piety, family, riches, 
 afflictions and friends ; Sect. 2. Tells the discourses between Job 
 and his three friends ; Sect. 3. Contains the wise discourses of 
 Elihu, a younger friend of Job; Sect. 4. Relates the awfully sub- 
 lime address of the Lord to Job, out of a whirlwind ; Sect. 5. Nar- 
 rates the restoration of Job's health, friends, prosperity and family, 
 and his sacrifice and intercession in behalf of his censorious friends. 
 
 Psalms. 
 
 THE Hebrew name for this book means "Praises." The Sep- 
 tuigint title Psalmoi is the origin of the present name. The 
 writer of the largest poition of the Psalms was David; other por- 
 tions were by Heman, Moses, Asaph, Jeduihum, and inspired pro- 
 phets who lived during the Babylonish captivity, and some even at 
 a later period. As a whole they are regarded as embodying the 
 substance of the Bible, and as being peculiarly fitted for devotional 
 purposes. Many of them were set to music, and sung by the Jews 
 in their public exercises of religion. They have always been highly 
 esteemed by Christians. In the titles of some Psalms are found un- 
 translated Hebrew words, which it may be well here to refer to, 
 such as — Eduth, testimony; Gittith, a musical instrument; Michtam, 
 a term indicating the musical character of the Psalms ; Maschil, 
 with understanding ; Makalath, either a kind of dance, or instru- 
 ment ; Mahalaih-Leannoth, either a kind of instrument, or the 
 character of the Psalms; Neginoth, perforated wind instruments, as 
 a flute or pipe ; Neginoth, stringed instruments ; Sheminoth, a cer- 
 tain air or key in which the psalm was to be sung ; Shiggaion, a spe- 
 cial kind of psalm, the character of which is not now known ; and 
 Shoshannim, literally, lilies, either indicating the shape of instru- 
 ment or character of melody. Notable also among the Psalms is 
 the occurrence seventy-three times of the word Selah, the meaning 
 of which is altogether unknown, notwithstanding the learned sug- 
 
 gestions and sage speculations of Biblical and other writers. The 
 Jews divided the Psalms into five books, separated by the doxolo- 
 gies at the end of Ps. xli , lxxii., lxxxix., and cvi. These books 
 are as follows: Book 1. From Ps. i. to xli. Believed to have been 
 written and compiled by David; Book 2. From Ps. xlii. to lxii. 
 Collected during the reign of Hezekiah, some being those of David 
 and previously uncollected, others being the production of the sons 
 of Korah;" Book 3. From Ps. lxxiii. to lxxxix. Probably compiled 
 during the reign of Josiah ; Book 4. From Ps. xc. to cvi. Such 
 Psalms as were written up to time of captivity, including that by 
 Moses (Ps. xc.) ; Book 5. From cvii. to cl. Contains the Psalms 
 of the return, which are supposed to have been collected in the 
 time of Judas Maccabseus. David's Psalms are especially distin- 
 guished by sweetness, softness and grace ; but sometimes they ex- 
 hibit the sublime. Beside other testimonies, we find complete 
 evidence, in the New Testament, where the Book of Psalms is re- 
 ferred to as divine, by Christ and his Apostles, at least seventy times. 
 
 Proverbs. 
 
 THE Hebrew (Mcshalini) and English title of this book mean 
 the same thing, the first words, "The Proverbs of Solomon," 
 naming its contents. It furnishes a collection of wise sayings re- 
 lating to almost every pirt of moral and religious duty, given by 
 divine inspiration, and written in the poetic style. Most of them 
 were written by Solomon, King of Israel, for which reason they 
 usually bear his name. He "spake three thousand proverbs, and 
 his songs were a thousand and five." The Jews ascribe the Pro- 
 verbs to his mature manhood, but give no indication as to the time 
 of his reign when written. He was king from about b. c. 1016 to 
 b. c. 976. In the time of Hezekiah, some 250 years after Solomon, 
 this book was collected together into its present shape. The most 
 remarkable things furnished in it are the invitations and counsels to 
 mankind by Christ in the character of Wisdom. In the maxims 
 comprising the greater part of the book we find much to excite 
 wonder and admiration. They present the results of the pro- 
 foundest human sagacity, the counsels and admonitions of the most 
 honored wisdom — md that, too, under divine inspiration. They 
 are adapted to every grade and character of men. The genuine- 
 ness and authenticity of the authorship as given cannot be disputed 
 in the least. From the twenty-fifth ch ipter to the end of the 
 twenty-ninth, it is claimed, was compile! by the men of Hezekiah, 
 with whom Eiiakim, Shebna, Joah, Isaiah, Hosea, and Micai, 
 were contemporary. But whether one or more of these, or others, 
 were the compilers we cannot determine. Whether the preceding 
 chapters, which existed then in a combined form, were compiled 
 by the author or some other hand is also uncertain. Both col- 
 lections being made at so early an age is a satisfactory evidence 
 that the Proverbs are a genuine production of Israel's wise king. 
 The book is divided into thirty-one chapters, with three principal 
 sections, as follows : S^ct. 1. Includes the first nine chapters, which 
 furnish the affective exhortations to engage men to the study of 
 wisdom in the fear of God ; Sect. 2. Consists of the wise maxims 
 of Solomon, which are, properly, proverbs ; Sect. 3. Is composed 
 of the last two chapters, the first the sayings and instructions of 
 Agar to this two disciples, the other the lessons to King Lemuel by 
 his mother. 
 
 ECCLESIASTES. 
 
 THE Hebrew name of this book is Koheleth, from the name of 
 the principal person mentioned in it, which is evidently de- 
 signed for an epithet of Solomon, and most probably means assem- 
 bler, preacher, or teacher. Tnis i; almost equivalent to the Greek 
 
BIBLL HISTORY AND ANALYSIS.

 name " Ecclesiastcs," given by the Septuagint, and transferred to 
 our English version. The authorship is generally attributed to 
 Solomon, and is said to have been written at the close of his life, 
 after having been drawn aside by his idolatrous wives, as an expres- 
 sion of his sincere repentance. Other opinions have also become 
 somewhat current, and, upon comparing the tone, style and classic 
 claims of the book with the preceding one, seem somewhat entitled 
 to consideration ; for in respect to general merit it apparently falls 
 behind Proverbs. Thus it has been variously attributed to Isaiah, 
 to Hezekiah, to the order of Zerubbabel, to a time subsequent to 
 the captivity, and to the time of Antiochus Epiphancs. Some 
 recent authorities favor the theory that it was written in the time 
 of Malachi, about 430 B. c. , by some unknown author. Whilst 
 many learned Jews have questioned its inspired claims, it has always 
 been kept as a part of the Old Testament canon, and by older au- 
 thorities has been accepted as the work of Solomon. The book is 
 a continued discourse in two chapters, and its design is twofold: 
 1. To testify, from the experience of a wise and prosperous king, that 
 riches and honor, and all possessions and gratifications of an earthly 
 kind, are totally insufficient to satisfy the soul of man; 2. To draw 
 off men from the pursuit of all wordly objects as their supreme good, 
 directing them to the fear of God and to communion with him, as 
 the chief end of man and as his highest happiness and honor. Ac- 
 cording to a modern authority, Ecclesiastes is a dialogue, in which 
 a man of piety disputes with a libertine who favored the opinion of 
 the Sadducees. His reason is that there are passages which he thinks 
 could not proceed from the same person. But this is accounted for 
 by supposing that the writer proposed the objections of infidels and 
 sensualists, and then replied to them. The book evidently is not 
 without the peculiarities that seem to attach to the intellectual 
 efforts of the time of Solomon ; and whatever may be its merits, 
 as compared with other writings of the wise king, it is not entirely 
 unlike them in the character of its teachings, and the unmistak- 
 able purposes of its composition. It should be thoughtfully and 
 prayerfully read by all who would be spiritually benefited by it. 
 
 Song of Solomon. 
 
 IN Hebrew, "The Song of Songs." It is generally believed to 
 have been so denominated to express the superior beauty and 
 excellence of the poem. According to the best authorities, it is a 
 sublime and mystical allegory, referring to Jesus Christ and his union 
 with an uncorrupted Church. Using the figure of a bridegroom 
 and bride, its purpose is to show the love of Christ tow mis his 
 Church, he being its bridegroom ; ministers his friends; the Church 
 his bride, and all who seek the society of the Church her compan- 
 ions. Our Saviour is similarly referred to elsewhere, both in the 
 Old and New Test lments. It has, nevertheless, been variously inter- 
 preted, either allegorically or literally, since the early centuries, by 
 different commentators. On the side of the canonical authority of 
 this book we would urge that it is contained in all the Hebrew 
 Bibles which have reached modern times, as well as in the Septua- 
 gint, which was completed before the Christian Era. It is also 
 given in all the ancient catalogues, which hive descended to us 
 from the early Christian Church. Notwithstanding these fads, 
 however, there are some few ancient and modern writers who have 
 questioned its claim to a place in the sacred volume; but they have 
 assumed grounds much more dogmatical thin historico-critical in 
 their character. It is unquestion ible that the Song of Solomon has 
 all the external marks of canonicity possessed by any other book of 
 the Old Testament not expressly cited in the New. As to its nature 
 or form, it may be regarded as a dramatic form of the pastoral kind. 
 There is a succession of time, and a change of pi ice, to different 
 parts of the palace and royal gardens. The persons introduced are 
 the bridegroom and brid ■, an I their respective attendants. The 
 interchange of dialogue is digressive, but the speeches are adapted 
 to the persons with appropriate elegance. The companions to the 
 bride compose a kind of chorus. The poem abounds throughout 
 with beauties, and presents everywhere a delightful and romantic 
 display of nature, painted at its most interesting season, and de- 
 scribed with every ornament that an inventive fancy could furnish.

 THE PROPHETS OF THE BIBLE. 
 
 THE Hebrew word for "prophet" is Nabi, which means an interpreter or fore- 
 teller. The prophets of the Bible were men who present themselves to us as 
 peculiarly singular and venerable. They enjoyed special communion with God ; they 
 unmistakably unravelled the future ; they were ministers of the promised Christ ; they 
 upheld piety in the worst times and at greatest risks ; they lived in poor and mean 
 homes; their food was chiefly herbs ; their dress was plain and coarse; and they 
 were proof against temptations, and the vanities of the world. Their office was to 
 communicate to the Jews the will of God. It became, also, their duty to write down 
 the utterances given them, and thus assist in the completion of an Inspired Record, 
 that should gradually overcome sin, and en'ighten and beautify the earth. 
 
 THE AGE AND BOOKS OF PROPHECY. 
 
 THE age of prophecy is usually limited to a space of 700 years, between Samuel 
 and Malachi, b. c. 1100-400, although prophecies are found in every page 
 of sacred history. The earlier prophets, as Elijah, Elisha, Micah, and some others, 
 appear to have committed nothing to writing. The Prophetical Books are properly 
 sixteen in number (Lamentations proving an appendix to Jeremiah). These contain 
 a large extent of subject, especially relating to the Jewish nation, to Jesus Christ and 
 the Christian Church, and include notices of the empires and nations of the world 
 down to the end of time, as they were, or will be, in various ways connected with 
 the Church of God. 
 
 THE FORM AND NATURE OF THE PROPHECIES. 
 
 THE form of the prophecies is poetical and figurative, and their metaphors and 
 allusions require devout attention. Sovereigns of the earth, and potentates, are 
 often represented by the heavenly bodies ; kingdoms and cities by mountains and hills ; 
 the covenant of God by lawful marriage, and departure from his worship by adultery.

 RE Q UIREMENTS. 
 
 IpAMILIARITY with history is an essential qualification to the 
 ■ understanding of many of the prophecies ; whilst others, yet 
 unfulfilled, are beclouded with obscurities which can only be dissi- 
 pated in time, and which should always be considered and investi- 
 gated with a humility, prayerfulness, and care becoming the some- 
 what mysterious truths of the Word of God. 
 
 POSITION AS TO TIME. 
 
 THE prophetic books, collectively considered, or as a division 
 of the Old Testament, are, in regard to time, the latest, be- 
 ginning about the period of the compilation of the historic books. 
 
 Isaiah. 
 
 IN the original this name is Yeshahayu, and signifies Salvation of 
 Jahu, a shortened form of Jehovah. Isaiah began to prophesy 
 in the reign of Uzziah, who died B. c. 758, and he continued his 
 ministry till after the death of Hezekiah, B. C. 698. He, therefore, 
 prophesied above sixty years. He is placed first among the pro- 
 phetical books, principally because of the great value and extent of 
 his prophecies. He lived at Jerusalem, not far from the temple, 
 where he doubtless compiled his writings, and is said, by some, to 
 have been put to death by order of Manasseh ; others, however, affirm 
 that his prophetic ministry terminated soon after its fullest develop- 
 ment, during the time of the Assyrian invasion, in the reign of 
 Hezekiah. He is called the evangelical prophet, as he has foretold 
 much in regard to the birth, ministry, sufferings and death of Christ. 
 His prophecies are poetical in form, and contain some of the most 
 sublime truths, expressions and imagery to be found in any book of 
 any language. Many portions of his book are peculiarly fitted for 
 the instruction and strengthening of the believer. Its design was, 
 originally, to declare to the Jewish people the greatness of their 
 wickedness; to exhort all classes among them to repentance on ac- 
 count of their sins; and to comfort those who truly feared the Lord 
 with promises of divine support, to assure them of the coming of 
 the Messiah, and to encourage their expectation of the future en- 
 largement and permanent glory of the church. The book is divided 
 into sixty-six chapters, and contains six principal sections, as fol- 
 lows : Sect. 1. Some discourses and predictions delivered in the 
 reign of Uzziah ; Sect. 2. Predictions delivered in the reign of 
 Jotham and Ahaz ; Sect. 3. Predictions against the Babylonians, 
 Assyrians and other nations ; Sect. 4. Prophecies of great calami- 
 ties which should befall the people of God, his merciful preservation 
 of a remnant, and their restoration and conversion; Sect. 5. The 
 accounts of Judea's invasion, the answer to Hezekiah's prayer 
 against Sennacherib, and his recovery from sickness; Sect. 6. A 
 series of prophecies toward the close of the prophet's ministry, con- 
 stituting the most elegant part of the Old Testament, and the most 
 important for its evangelical contents. 
 
 Jeremiah. 
 
 THE prophet Jeremiah {raised up or exalted of the Lord), son of 
 a priest of Anathoth, was quite young when the word of the 
 Lord came to him. This occurred B. c. 629, in the thirteenth year 
 of Josiah. His ministry covered the space of about forty-three 
 years, both before and a few years after the destruction of Jerusa- 
 lem, b. c. 588. After this latter calamity, he retired with a number 
 of Jews into Egypt, where he continued to reprove them because of 
 their idolatry, and completed his exalted ministry in martyrdom, 
 the Jews stoning him in the Egyptian city of Tahpanhes. The 
 writings of this prophet are received as in about the same condition 
 
 as when they left his hands, or those of his assistant Baruch, and are 
 the result of four separate collections; the first, flung into the fire 
 by Jehoiakim, the king, in a rage; the second, made about the 
 fourth year of Zedekiah ; the third after Jerusalem was destroyed ; 
 the fourth, later. Portions of the book are poetical. The fifty- 
 second chapter is supposed to have been added by Ezra, as an in- 
 troduction to Lamentations. The canonicity of the Book of Jere- 
 miah is established beyond dispute. The most remarkable things 
 it relates are, — the series of persecutions and sufferings which the 
 prophet endured in the faithful discharge of his ministry as the 
 messenger of God, on account of which, and of the affecting nature 
 of some of his writings, Jeremiah has been called the weeping pro- 
 phet ; and the instructive character under which the Messiah was 
 foretold — the Righteous Branch and the Lord our Righteousness. 
 The purposes of these predictions of Jeremiah are, to admonish the 
 Jews of the destruction and waste that should overtake their wicked- 
 ness; to invite the people to forgiveness by divine promises; and 
 to comfort the pious with assurances of the advent of the Messiah, 
 and the blessings of his kingdom. The book is divided into fifty- 
 two chapters, containing four collections of prophecies, but not 
 chronologically arranged : Sect. 1. Prophecies delivered in the 
 reign of Josiah ; Sect. 2. Prophecies delivered in the reign of Je- 
 hoiakim ; Sect. 3. Prophecies delivered in the reign of Zedekiah ; 
 Sect. 4. Prophecies delivered under Gedaliah, from the taking of 
 Jerusalem to the retreat of the people into Egypt, and those which 
 Jeremiah delivered to the Jews in that country. 
 
 Lamentations. 
 
 THIS book was anciently annexed to Jeremiah, though now sepa- 
 rate. Its name is translated from the Septuagint title 
 " Threnoi." The Hebrew name for it (Eea/i) is from the opening 
 word; although sometimes it is called "tears" or "lamentation," 
 in allusion to the mournful nature of the work, of which one would 
 conceive, says Bishop Lowth, "that every letter was written with a 
 tear, every word the sound of a broken heart." The style of the 
 book is clearly that of Jeremiah, and the circumstances the same as 
 those by which he was encompassed. It was written on beholding 
 the city and temple of Jerusalem lying in heaps of ruins. It is re- 
 markable because of its plan, and the subjects which it commemo- 
 rates. Throughout, it is poetical in its form, and perhaps much 
 more remarkably so that any other book in the Bible, being sup- 
 posed by some good authorities to have been written not only in 
 parallelisms, but also in metre. The subject is directly the various 
 fearful calamities of the Jews through the unfeeling br itality of the 
 Babylonish soldiers; but they are understood to predict the still 
 greater miseries which were brought upon the Jews when the city 
 and temple were finally destroyed by the Roman soldiers, the severer 
 judgment of Heaven on account of their crucifying "the Lord of 
 Glory." In the Bible now used by the Jews, the Book of Lamen- 
 tations stands in the Hagiographa, and among the five Megilloth, 
 or Books of Ruth, Esther, Ecclesiastes, and Solomon's Song. They 
 believe that it was not written by the gift of prophecy, but by the 
 Spirit of God (between which they make a distinction), and give 
 this as a reason for not placing it among the prophets. It is read 
 in their synagogues on the ninth of the month Ab (the fifth of the 
 ecclesiastical, and eleventh of the civil year of the Jews, commenc- 
 ing with the new moon of our August and having thirty days), 
 which is a fast for the destruction of the holy city. It consists of 
 five chapters, each having twenty-two stanzas or verses, beginning 
 with the several letters of the Hebrew Alphabet in their proper order ; 
 the third chapter, having sixty-six verses, has three verses together 
 commencing with the several letters in order. It also forms five 
 separate elegies, corresponding with the chapters in our version.

 BIBLE HISTORY AND ANALYSIS. 
 
 EZEKIEL. 
 
 EZEKIEL {strengthened of God), one of the greater prophets, 
 was of the sacerdotal race, and was among the first captives 
 carried to Babylon. He became a resident of some place on the 
 river Chebar, in Mesopotamia, about 200 miles north of Babylon. 
 He prophesied during the early part of the captivity, in about the 
 fifth year, commencing his ministry about 590 B. c, and is supposed 
 to have prophesied about twenty-one years. The design of his 
 prophecies was the instruction of the captives, and the boldness 
 with which he censured their idolatry and wickedness is said to 
 have cost him his life; but his memory was greatly revered by the 
 Jews, as also by the Medes and Persians. The style of this prophet 
 is characterized by Bishop Lowth as bold, vehement, and tragical ; 
 often worked up to a kind of tremendous dignity. He is highly 
 parabolical, and abounds in figures and metaphorical expressions. 
 The middle portion of the book is in some measure poetical, and 
 contains even some perfect elegies, though his thoughts are usually 
 too irregular and uncontrolled to be chained clown to rule, or fet- 
 tered by language. Ezekiel was raised up to use his ministry in 
 confirming the truth of what Jeremiah had declared, by new pre- 
 dictions concerning the certain and speedy destruction of Jerusalem 
 on account of the continued idolatry and wickedness of the people; 
 in comforting the pious with the assurance of future restoration; 
 and in foreshowing the flourishing and happy state of the Church 
 in the times of the Messiah. Among the most remarkable things 
 in this prophet, are, the vision of the resurrection of dry bones, as- 
 suring the restoration of Israel ; and the vision of the holy waters, 
 representing the spiritual blessings of the Gospel, in victorious 
 march. The book is divided into lorty-eight chapters, containing 
 four principal sections, as follows: Sect. 1. Furnishes the call of 
 Ezekiel, and his prophetical commission ; Sect. 2. Relates various 
 predictions of approaching judgments on account of idolatry and 
 wickedness; Sect. 3. Contains the threatenings of heavy judgments 
 upon surrounding nations; Sect. 4. Records the future restoration 
 of the Jews, with their spiritual prosperity, especially under the 
 reign of Messiah, and the destruction of their enemies. 
 
 Daniel. 
 
 THE author of this book was a descendant of the kings of Judah, 
 and was, in his youth, at the age of twelve or sixteen, carried 
 among the first captives to Babylon. The remainder of his life was 
 spent at the court of the Babylonian and Persian empires. He pro- 
 phesied during the captivity until after Cyrus succeeded to the 
 throne of his uncle Darius, a period of more than seventy years. 
 Pie was placed in the court of Nebuchadnezzar, and afterwards 
 raised to great rank and power, being a man of extraordinary wis- 
 dom, as well as sanctity, qualified for an important mission by the 
 All-wise. His predictions are the most wonderful and comprehen- 
 sive of all found in thi prophets, and they embrace the history of 
 the world, as well as of the Church under the Jewish and Christian 
 dispensations, from the times in which he lived to the great final 
 consummatio 1. He alone, of the prophets, foretold the precise 
 time Christ should appear and complete the work of redemption. 
 Seventy weeks of years, or 490 years, reckoned from the seventh 
 year of Artaxerxes, in the month Nisan, in which Ezra was com- 
 missioned to restore the Jewish state and polity (Ez. vii. 9-26), will 
 bring us to the month Nisan, A. D. 33, in the very month and year 
 in which Chi ist suffered for us. He lived to the end of the cap- 
 tivity, but being then nearly ninety years old, it is most probable 
 that he did not return to Judea. He died probibly at Susa, on the 
 Tigris, soon after his last vision. The prominent things in the 
 Book of Daniel are : 1. The remarkable piety, uprightness and wis- 
 
 dom of Daniel and his three companions ; 2. The wonderful pre- 
 servation of the three cast into the furnace ; 3. The madness of 
 Nebuchadnezzar, sent as a judgment on account of his pride, in 
 which he fed upon grass with the beasts of the field; 4. The predic- 
 tion of four universal empires, the rise and fall of which Daniel 
 describes, and the division of the last (Roman) into ten kingdoms; 
 5. The riotous feasting of Belshazzar, and his daring impiety in 
 drinking to the praise of his idols; 6. The threatening vision against 
 the guilty monarch in the midst of his revels ; 7. The conspiracy 
 against Daniel, and his preservation from the lions ; 8. Daniel's 
 prayer for the restoration of his people ; and 9. The prediction of 
 the precise time at which Messiah should appear and die. 
 
 HOSEA. 
 
 HOSEA {deliverance), the first of the minor prophets in the 
 ordinary editions of the Hebrew Scriptures, as well as the 
 Alexandrian and Vulgate translations, was raised up among the peo- 
 ple of Israel after they had plunged into the most abominable idola- 
 try, and during the period of Isaiah's ministry in Judah. He began 
 to prophesy somewhat earlier than Isaiah, and continued thus 
 engaged for about sixty years. We are not to understand that he 
 flourished earlier than all the rest of the minor prophets, for he 
 seems to have been preceded by Joel, Amos and Jonah ; but it is 
 not known at what periods his different prophecies, now extant, 
 were delivered. His book contains threatenings against his people 
 for their wickedness, associated with promises of the final restora- 
 tion. It is regarded as the most difficult and obscure of all the 
 prophetic books. It is sententious, concise and abrupt ; the transi- 
 tions of persons are sudden ; and the connexive and adversative par- 
 ticles are frequently omitted. The prophecies are in one continued 
 series, without the least distinction as to the precise times of their 
 deliverance. When, however, we overlook these facts, we shall see 
 reason to admire the energy and force with which Hosea writes, as 
 also the boldness of his figures and similitudes. The years of his 
 life were melancholy and tragic. Heaven's wrath was poured out 
 freely upon his apostate people, in prolonged anarchy and final cap- 
 tivity. Their homicides and fornications, their perjury and theft, 
 their idolatry and impiety, are censured and satirised with a faithful 
 severity. Invitations, replete with tenderness and pathos, are inter- 
 spersed with his warnings and expostulations. The book is divided 
 into fourteen chapters, containing five principal sections; as follows : 
 Sect. 1. Contains solemn reproofs of the idolatry of the Israelites, 
 with promises of pardon to the penitent ; Sect. 2. A condemnation of 
 the bloodshed and wickedness of the people, with various evangelical 
 promises ; Sect. 3. The captivity of the nation pronounced ; Sect. 4. 
 Terrible denunciations of the divine judgments renewed ; Sect. 5. 
 Gracious invitations to repentance, with instructions as to the 
 manner. 
 
 Joel. 
 
 MUCH doubt seems to hang over the time in which this pro- 
 phet lived. The dates assigned to his ministry vary from 
 b. c. 877 to 660. It seems most probable, however, that he was 
 contemporary with Amos and Isaiah, and delivered his predictions 
 in the reign of Uzziah. We have reason to believe that he dis- 
 charged his office in the kingdom of Judah To it his prophecies 
 are limited. He inveighs against the sins and impieties of the 
 people, and threatens divine vengeance ; he exhorts to repentance, 
 fasting and prayer; and promises the favor of God to those who 
 should be obedient. He foretells the restoration of the land to its 
 former fertility, and declares that Jehovah would still be their God. 
 He also announces the spiritual blessings which would be poured

 forth in the Messianic age. This wonderful prediction is applied 
 by the Apostle Peter to the events that transpired on the day of 
 Pentecost. In the concluding chapter the divine vengeance is de- 
 nounced against the enemies and oppressors of the chosen people, 
 of whom the Phoenicians, Egyptians, and Edomites are especially 
 named. The style of Joel is perspicuous and elegant, and his de- 
 scriptions remarkably animated and poetical. It has well been re- 
 marked, that he unites the strength of Micah with the tenderness 
 of Jeremiah. In vividness of description he rivals Nahum, and in 
 sublimity and majesty is scarcely inferior to Isaiah and Habakkuk. 
 The canonicity of his book has never been called in question. The 
 prophecies are contained in three chapters, which may be regarded 
 as so many sections. We may here add to what has already been 
 said, that Joel was the son of Pethuel, or, according to the Septua- 
 gint, Bethuel. Beyond this, everything that is said of his personal 
 history amounts to nothing more than the merest conjecture. Pseudo- 
 Epiphanius recoids a tradition that he was of the tribe of Reuben, 
 was born and buried at Beth-horon, between Jerusalem and 
 Ca;sarea. But in reference to this, we find nothing apart from the 
 mere tradition. In the Book of Joel there are no references to any 
 contemporary incidents by which either time or any circumstances 
 in the life of the prophet may be determined. 
 
 Amos. 
 
 THE fourth of the minor prophets, Amos, was a contemporary 
 of Isaiah and Hosea. In his youth he was a herdsman in 
 Tekoa, a small town about six miles south of Bethlehem, inhabited 
 chiefly by shepherds, to which class he not only belonged, but was 
 also a dresser of sycamore trees. He did not long fill the prophetic 
 office, unless we accept the suggestion, that he uttered predictions 
 not recorded. We are expressly told that he prophesied in the days 
 of Uzziah, king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam, the son of 
 Joash, king of Israel, two years before the earthquake. Therefore 
 as Uzziah and Jeroboam were contemporaries for about fourteen 
 years, from B. c. 798 to 784, we take the latter of these dates as 
 marking the period when Amos prophesied. He was sent to the 
 people of Samaria, to bring them back to God by repentance, and 
 reformation of manners. Hence we suppose he must have been 
 born within the territories of Israel, and that he only retired to 
 Tekoa, on being expelled from Bethel by Amaziah, the priest of the 
 calves at Bethel He often complains of the violence he suffered 
 from those who sought to impose silence upon him. His writings 
 afford ample testimony that the existing religious institutions, both 
 of Judah and Israel (excepting only Jeroboam's corruptions), were 
 framed according to the rules prescribed in the Pentateuch, a fact 
 which furnishes a conclusive argument for the genuineness of the 
 Mosaic records. The canonicity of his book is supported both by 
 Jewish and Christian authorities. There are two quotations from it 
 in the New Testament: the first one (v. 25, 26) by the proto-mar- 
 tyr Stephen, Acts vii., 42; the second (ix. n) by the Apostle 
 James, Acts xv. , 16. The Book of Amos is divided into nine chap- 
 ters, which include three principal sections, as follows: Sect. 1. 
 Furnishes the threatenings of the divine judgments against the 
 Syrians, Tyrians, Edomites, Ammonites, and Moabites ; Sect. 2. 
 Narrates the denunciations of God against the impenitent Jews, 
 with invitations to them to return to the Lord by sincere repent- 
 ance ; Sect. 3. Presents evangelical promises to the godly to pro- 
 mote their consolation. It requires but little attention and exami- 
 nation for any one to be convinced that this prophet is not a whit 
 behind the very chiefest in loftiness of sentiment, and scarcely in- 
 ferior to any in the splendor of his diction, and the beauty and 
 elegance of his composition. The book is full of eloquence. 
 
 Obadjaii. 
 
 THIS prophet is supposed by some to have been the excellent 
 man who was governor of King Ahab's house, and the person 
 who met Elijah; but others believe him to have been the Obadiah 
 whom Josiah made overseer of the works of the temple. Indeed, 
 the age in which this prophet lived is very uncertain. Some claim 
 that he was contemporary with Hosea, Amos and Joel ; others be- 
 lieve that he lived in the time of Jeremiah and Ezekicl, and that he 
 delivered his prophecy about b. c. 5X5, soon after the destruction of 
 Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar. We have, evidently, but a small frag- 
 ment of his prophecies, and it is impossible to determine anything 
 with certainty respecting himself or his history. From a comparison 
 of Obadiah with a portion of Jeremiah, it is evident that one of 
 these prophets had read the other's work. It is not easy, observes 
 Calmet, to decide which of the two copied from the other ; but 
 from the fact that Jeremiah had made use of the writings of other 
 prophets also, it has been generally concluded that Obadiah was the 
 original writer. His book, which consists of a single chapter, is 
 written with great beauty and elegance ; the language is pure ; but 
 Dr. Jahn and others hive observed that he is inferior to the more 
 ancient prophets in his too great addiction to the interrogatory form 
 of expression. His sentiments are noble, and his figures bold and 
 sinking. The Book of Obadiah has only twenty-one verses, which 
 include two sections, as follows: Sect. 1. Relates the threatenings 
 against the Edomites, on account of their pride and their cruelty 
 and insulting conduct toward the Hebrews when Jerusalem was 
 taken ; Sect. 2. Consoles the Jews with a promise of restoration 
 from their captivity, when the Hebrews and the Ten Tribes shall 
 repossess both their land and that of Edom and Philistia — a pro- 
 phecy which was fulfilled in the time of the Maccabees, under John 
 Hyrcanus, b. c. 125 — furnishing evangelical promises for the con- 
 solation of the pious, and thus awaiting a fuller accomplishment. 
 
 Jonah. 
 
 JONAH, the fifth in order of the minor prophets, is doubtless the 
 same person spoken of in 2 Kings xiv. 25. His birthplace 
 was Gath-hepher, in the tribe of Zebulon. He prophesied in the 
 reign of Jeroboam, son of Joash, King of Israel, about eighty years 
 before the time of Isaiah. The subject of the Book of Jonah, is 
 the mission of that prophet to the populous city of Nineveh, the 
 capital of the Assyrian Empire, and his successful ministry among 
 its people. The design of this record is to show, by the striking 
 examples of the Ninevites, the forbearance and long-suffering of 
 God toward sinners, by which they are spared on their sincere re- 
 I pentance. In the deliverance of Jonah from the prison of the fish, 
 the prophet was a type of our Saviour's resurrection from the grave. 
 It seems hardly worth our allusion that some persons have objected 
 to the account of Jonah having been swallowed by a fish, as the 
 prophet expressly declares that, " The Lord had prepared a great 
 fidi to swallow up Jonah;" and such doubting or incredulous per- 
 sons forget the omnipotence of the Lord, the Creator of the uni- 
 verse. In modern times, it has become a common opinion that 
 the fish was of the shark species, or "sea-dog." Entire human 
 bodies have been found in some fishes of this kind. The stomach, 
 too, has no influence on any living substance admitted into it. 
 There are four prominent and wonderful tilings noticeable in Jonah, 
 which are the disobedience of the prophet to the command of God, 
 through the fear of being accounted a false prophet if the Ninevites 
 repented and the city should be spared; the account of Jonah being 
 cast into the sea, and swallowed by a great fish ; the deliverance of 
 the penitent prophet from his watery dungeon ; and the beneficial 
 effects of Jonah's ministry. The- book is divided into four chapters, 
 
11 
 
 BIBLE HISTORY AND ANALYSIS. 
 
 containing two chief sections, as follows: Sect. i. Contains the 
 first mission of Jonah, his disobedience and punishment; Sect. 2. 
 Furnishes an account of the second mission, and the success of the 
 prophet. The Bible affords no indication of anything in this book 
 being a myth, allegory, or parable. 
 
 MlCAH. 
 
 THE date of this prophet's ministry is between B. c. 759 and 
 699 ; in the reigns of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, and con- 
 sequently contemporary with Isaiah. He was a native of More- 
 sheth of Gath, and is 'distinguished from another prophet of the 
 same name, called also, Micaiah, and mentioned in 1 K. xxii. 8. 
 He seems to have been raised up to confirm the predictions of 
 Isaiah against both the Israelites and Jews, whom he invited to re- 
 pentance both by threatened judgments and by promised mercies. 
 His prophecies were delivered by him at different periods. The 
 style is sublime and vehement, in which respects he exceeds Amos 
 and Hosea. De Wette observes that he has more roundness, ful- 
 ness, and clearness in his style and rhythm than the latter prophet. 
 He abounds in rapid transitions and elegmt tropes, and piquant 
 plays upon words. He is successful in the use of the dialogue, and 
 his prophecies are penetrated by the purest spirit of morality and 
 piety. There is no prophecy in Micah so interesting to the Chris- 
 tian as that in which the native place of the Messiah is announced. 
 It is also the most comprehensive respecting the personal char- 
 acter of the Messiah, and the blessings of his kingdom upon 
 the earth, and is usually regarded the most important single pro- 
 phecy in the Old Testament. It is divided into seven chapters, 
 which contain three principal sections, as follows: Sect. 1. Presents 
 various prophecies delivered in the reign of Jotham, commencing 
 with a majestic exordium, in which is iniroduced a sublime theo- 
 phany — from which there is a sudden transition to the judgment of 
 Israel, whose captivity is predicted; Sect. 2. Contams prophecies 
 delivered in the reign of Ahaz, when the complete destruction ot 
 Jerusalem is foretold, with the expatriation of the Jews to Babylon, 
 their gloricus return, &c. ; Sect. 3. Contains prophecies in the reign 
 of Hezekiah, which also furnishes an elegant dialogue or contesta- 
 tion between the Lord and his people, in which they are reproved, 
 threatened and consoled. 
 
 Nahtjm. 
 
 THIS seventh of the minor prophets, according to the arrange- 
 ment of both the Hebrew and Greek, but the sixth in date, 
 was a native of Elkosh, a village in Galilee, and is said to have 
 been of the tribe of Simeon. Theie is uncertainty about the exact 
 period in which he lived, but it is clear that he prophesied in Julah 
 after the deportation of the ten tribes, and soon after the unsuc- 
 cessful irruption of Sennacherib, consequently towards the close of 
 the reign of Hezekiah. Efforts have been made to fix the date with 
 precision; but nothing more definite than the allusion to the de- 
 struction of No-Amraon, near the beginning of Hezckiah's reign, 
 about B. c. 720, can Le reached. The beau'y of the style of Nahum 
 is universally conceded. It is classic, is marked by clearness, has a 
 finished elegance, and is full of fire, richness and originality. The 
 rhythm is regular and lively, and the whole book unusually cohe- 
 rent. The approaching ruin of the gn at city of Nineveh, and the 
 preparatory measures for the accompli, hment of that terrible ca- 
 lamity, are described by the prophet with awful grandeur and 
 majesty. So perfectly have these predictions been fulfilled that 
 even the vestiges of the ruins of Nineveh are scarcely to be dis- 
 cerned by the most inquisitive traveller. From the ruin of this 
 
 country after the ministry of Jonah, we learn how dangerous it is 
 to trifle with the admonitions of God. The prophecy is one con- 
 tinued poem, now divided into three chapters ; the design, 1st, To 
 offer consolation to the servants of God by delivering to them 
 various evangelical promises ; and 2d, To denounce the. final and 
 inevitable destruction of the mignificent city of Nineveh, on ac- 
 count of its people returning to their former wickedness after the 
 mission of Jonah. Jahn observe? that the descriptions of the divine 
 omnipotence, and of the destruction of Nineveh, are resplendent 
 with all the perfection of oratory. It, however, becomes necessary 
 for the reader to supply some omissions. 
 
 Habakkuk. 
 
 HABAKKUK {embrace} prophesied somewhere between 612 and 
 5^8 b. c, and was one of the most distinguished Jewish 
 prophets of his times Of his birth-place, parentage, and life, we 
 have nothing definite, or in the least reliable. His life was evi- 
 dently contemporary with that of the first pirt of Jeremiah's, a brief 
 period before the siege and destruction of Jerusalem. It is affirmed 
 that he was alive at the taking and overthrow of the city by Nebu- 
 chadnezzar ; and is generally believed among Jewish authorities that 
 he remained and died in Judea. The style of this prophet has 
 called forth much admiration, and is equal to that of the most emi- 
 nent prophets in the Old Testament. The magnificent psalm in 
 conclusion, is a composition unequalled perhaps in boldness of con- 
 ception, sublimity of thought, and majesty of diction, and may be 
 placed in competition with Ps. xviii. and lxviii. for originality. 
 His figures are all great and well chosen ; his denunciations terri- 
 Lle ; his derision bitter ; his consolation cheering ; his language 
 pure; and his verse melodious. The ancient catalogues of the 
 canon of the Old Testament do not mention Habakkuk by name; 
 but they must have counted him one of the twelve minor prophets, 
 whose number would otherwise be incomplete. Some of his expres- 
 sions are found in the New Testament, although his name is not 
 mentioned. His book is divided into three chapters, which form 
 two sections, as follows: Sect. 1. Presents a sort of dialogue pro- 
 phecy between God and the prophet concerning the wickedness of 
 the Jews and their certain punishment by the ferocious army of the 
 Chaldaeans; Sect. 2. Furnishes a meditation or hymn-of the pro- 
 phet, in which, with the most inviting elegance of language, he 
 encourages the pious amongst the Jews still to trust in the God of 
 their salvation. In this book we have a beautiful illustration of a 
 Christian living by faith on Jehovah as his covenant God and 
 Saviour. A full and trustworthy account of the life of Habakkuk 
 would explain his imagery, and many of the events to which he 
 alludes; but as it is, we cannot det rmine its historical basis. 
 
 Zephaxiah. 
 
 THIS minor prophet w s the ninth in order. His ministry was 
 somewhere between b. c. 643 and 609. Apart from the cus- 
 tom the pedigree of this prophet is traced back for four genera- 
 tions. This careful mention of his parentage is doubtless due to 
 the fact that there was at lea t another prominent personage of the 
 same name at the time of the captivity, thus preventing any con- 
 founding of the two. The existence of the prophet is known only 
 from his oracles, and these are without biographical sketches; so 
 that our knowledge of him is limited to his inspiration. It is safe 
 to conclude, however, that he labored with Josiah in the pious work 
 of re-establishing the worship of Jehovah in the land. His style 
 has not the sustained majesty of Isaiah, or the sublime and original 
 energy of Joel; it has no prominent feature of distinction; yet its

 delineations are graphic, and many of its touches bold and striking. 
 The verses are not tame and prosaic portraiture, but form a series 
 of vivid sketches. Not a few verses occur in the course of the pro- 
 phecy which, in tone and dignity, are not unworthy to be associated 
 with the more distinguished effusions of the Hebrew bards. The 
 language is pure. The design of his prophecies was to denounce 
 the terrible judgments of God, on account of sin, upon the Jews 
 and the surrounding nations; to excite them to repentance; and to 
 comfort the pious with evangelical promises. The book has three 
 chapters, which comprise four sections, as follows: Sect. 1. A de- 
 nunciation against the Jews on account of their idolatry and wicked- 
 ness ; Sect. 2. Invitations to immediate repentance; Sect. 3. De- 
 nunciations against the Philistines, Moabites, Ammonites and 
 Ethiopians; Sect. 4. Predictions of the deliverances and ultimate 
 prosperity of the people of God under the reign of the Messiah. 
 Zephaniah is not expressly quoted in the New Testament ; but 
 clauses and expressions occur which seem to have been formed Irom 
 his prophecy. He was, as has been said of him, "a true prophet, 
 and filled with the Holy Ghost." 
 
 Haggat. 
 
 HAGGAI was one of the Jews who returned with Zerubbabel to 
 Jerusalem in consequence of the edict of Cyrus ; and it is 
 believed that he was born during the captivity, and was of the 
 sacerdotal race. Of the place and year of his birth, his descent, 
 and the prominent incidents of his life, nothing is known which 
 can be relied on. It appears, however, from his prophecies that he 
 flourished during the reign of the Persian monarch Darius Hys- 
 taspis, who ascended the throne B. c. 521. The style of the dis- 
 courses of Haggai is suitable to their contents, being pathetic when 
 he exhorts, and vehement when he reproves ; elevated when he tells 
 of coming events, and not without something of a poetic coloring. 
 The language seems to struggle under a poverty of terms, as may be 
 seen in the constant repetition of the same expressions. The pro- 
 phetical discourses of Haggai are referred to in the Old and New 
 Testament. In their work of erecting the second temple at Jeru- 
 salem the Jews were seriously interrupied by the Persian governors 
 of the neighboring province, so as to cause them to cease from 
 their labor for a period of about fourteen years, supposing the time 
 to complete the building was not yet come. But God, disposing 
 Darius the emperor to renew the decree of Cyrus, raised up Haggai 
 to encourage them in the work, which was then finished in a few 
 years. The Book of Haggii is divided into two chapters or sec- 
 tions, as follows : Sect. 1. Presents a complaint of the Jews' negli- 
 gence, and an exhortation to them to proceed in building the tem- 
 ple, under the assurance of the divine assistance ; Sect. 2. Furnishes 
 consolatory predictions that the second temple should be more 
 eminently glorious than the first, being distinguished with the pres- 
 ence and ministry of the Messiah, whom the prophet designates, 
 "The desire of all nations." The names of Haggai and Zechariah 
 are associated in the LXX. in the titles of Psalms 137, 145-148 ; in 
 the Vulgate in those of Ps. in, 145 ; and in the Peshito Striae in 
 those of Ps. 125, 126, 145, 146, 147, 148. It may be that tradi- 
 tion assigned to those prophets the arrangement, for use in the tem- 
 ple service. 
 
 Zechariah. 
 
 HHHIS prophet was a fellow- laborer and contemporary with Hag- 
 -*~ gai in the prophetic ministry, and the purpose of his writings 
 was similar to that of his inspired colleague. But the discourses of 
 Zechariah are much more particular and extended. He apparently 
 entered upon his ministry at an early age. The period of his intro- 
 duction to it is specified as a very short time later than the prophet 
 
 Haggai. He prophesied at Jerus ilem. Very little, beyond this, is 
 known of his lif-, except that he returned to Jerusalem with the 
 Jews who came under the decree of Cyrus. In the book of Zecha- 
 riah are three things worthy special attention — the prediction con- 
 cerning the entrance of Christ into Jerusalem riding upon a colt the 
 foal of an ass; the prophecy of the exact sum of money whi< h Judas 
 would receive for betraying Christ, and the particular appropriation 
 of that money when brought by the traitor; and the sublime exhi- 
 bition which Zechariah gives of the spiritual blessings to be enjoyed 
 by the Church from the mediation of the incarnate Son of Go I. 
 Almost every paragraph in this prophecy refers to the glory of the 
 Gospel Church. The book is divided into fourteen chapters, in- 
 cluding two principal sections, as follows: Sect 1. Furnishes several 
 discourses and visions admirably adapted to inspire the Jews with 
 courage in rebuilding the temple and renewing its public religious 
 ordinances; Sect. 2. Presents a record of various discourses and 
 predictions of things future, particularly concerning the coming of 
 Christ, and the spiritual blessings of His kingdom upon earth. The 
 pseudo-Epiphanius records some prodigies wrought by Zechariah 
 in the land of Chaldsea, and some wondrous oracles which he de- 
 livered; and he and orotheus both agree in declaring that the 
 prophet died in Judea in a good old age, and was buried beside his 
 colleague Haggai. There has been considerable difference of opin- 
 ion in relation to the genuineness of the Book of Zechariah, and 
 also in regard to the meaning of many portions of h's predictions, 
 which are remarkably obscure ; but there is no satisfactory reason 
 for doubting either the authorship or the time of its writing. 
 
 Malachi. 
 
 MALACHI, the last of the minor prophets, and consequently 
 the latest writer in the canon of the Old Testament, exer- 
 cised his ministry about one hundred and twenty years after the 
 return of the Jews from captivity in Babylon, and about four hun- 
 dred and twenty years from the birth of Christ. Nothing is known 
 of his person or history, although some traditionary accounts say 
 that he was a native of Sapha, and of the tribe of Zebulon. He 
 apparently lived after Zechariah, and was contemporary with Nehe- 
 miah. The name signifies, in contracted form, angel of Jehovah. 
 Although it is conceded that Mdachi was the last of the prophets, 
 the date of his prophecy has been variously determined. Neverthe- 
 less the claim of his book to its place in the Old Testament, as the 
 "seal of the prophets," has never been disputed ; and its authority 
 is established by the references to it in the New Testament. The 
 style, rhythm and imagery of his writings are substantially those of 
 the old prophets, but they possess no remarkable vigor or beauty. 
 This is doubtless because of his living at a period when Hebrew 
 poetry had declined — which decline is manifested in all the sacred 
 writings after the captivity. The Book of Malachi is divided into 
 four chapters, having two sections, as follows: Sect. 1. Furnishes 
 complaints against the Jews, both priests and people, on account 
 of their profaneness and wickedness; Sect. 2. Contains several pro- 
 phecies regarding the coming of Christ, and of His herald prophet, 
 John, the Baptist, who, being endowed with the spirit and courage 
 which distinguished the prophet Elijah, should, by his preaching 
 and ministry, prepare the way of his glorious Lord. The most won- 
 derful thing in the Book of Malachi is the representation of the 
 Messiah's advent as the Sun of Righteousness, communicating abun- 
 dantly the blessings of His kingdom. Thus terminated, with Mala- 
 chi, the illustrious succession of "those holy men of God who spake 
 as they were moved by the Holy Ghost," and thus was closed the 
 roll of the Old Testament prophecy, in the proclamation of the sud- 
 den appearance of our Lord.

 BETWEEN THE BOOKS OE THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT, 
 
 AND CONCERNING WHICH

 THE TERM. 
 
 THE word Apocrypha is from the Greek Apokrupto, to hide, or conceal, and was 
 given to such books of a sacred character as formerly were concealed from 
 readers generally; their authority not being recognized; their authors being un- 
 known ; and their character being either heretical or suspected. The term has been 
 defined to signify — i. Anonymous or pseu-depigraphal books; 2. Those which are 
 not publicly read, although they may be read with edification in private; 3. Those 
 which do not pass for authentic and of divine authority, although they pass for being 
 composed by a sacred author, or an apostle, as the Epistle of Barnabas; and 4. 
 Dangerous books, composed by ancient heretics to favor their opinions. The name 
 Apocrypha has also been applied to books which, after being subjected to dispute, 
 are incorporated in the canon, with the approbation of the churches, as Tobit, 
 Judith, and others. 
 
 POSITION OF THE CHURCHES IN REGARD THERETO. 
 
 THE friends of the Roman Catholic Church claim some of the books, first al- 
 luded to above, to be divinely inspired ; but their claim is plain, as those par- 
 ticular books serve to countenance some of the evil and corrupt practices of that 
 church. The Protestant authorities and churches not only regard such books as the 
 Prayer of Manasses, the Third and Fourth books of Esdras, and the addition at the 
 end of Job, as also the One Hundred and Fifty-first Psalm, as apocryphal and unin- 
 spired ; but also the Books of Tobit, Judith, the additions to Esther, Wisdom, 
 Ecclesiasticus, Baruch the Prophet, with the Epistle of Jeremiah, the Song of the 
 Three Children, the Story of Susanna, the Story of Bel and the Dragon, and the 
 First and Second Books of Maccabees. 
 
 REASONS FOR THEIR REJECTION. 
 
 THE books enumerated in the foregoing paragraph are universally rejected by 
 Protestants, because they are without the slightest external or internal evidence 
 showing any claim to a place in the sacred canon. None exist in the Hebrew; all

 are in the Greek, except the Fourth Book of Esdras, which is only 
 in Latin. They were mostly written by Alexandrian Jews, after 
 the prophetic spirit had ceased its work among men, and prior to 
 the promulgation of the Gospel. Not one of their authors directly 
 lays claim to inspiration ; not one of the books was ever received 
 into their sacred canon by the Jewish church ; not one has any 
 testimony to its sanction of our Saviour; no one is, by any possible 
 construction, alluded to by him, or any of his Apostles. Also, both 
 Josephus and Phdo, who wrote in the first century, fail to make any 
 reference to them. 
 
 OTHER EVIDENCE AGAINST THEIR ACCEPTANCE. 
 
 DURING the first four centuries of the Christian Church, the 
 Apocryphal books were not received into the sacred canon. 
 Nor are they mentioned in the catalogue of the inspired writings 
 made by Melito, in the second century ; nor by Origen, in the third 
 century ; nor by Athanasius, Hilary, Cyril of Jerusalem, Epipha- 
 nius, Gregory Nazianzen, Amphilochius, Jerome, Rufinus, and 
 others, of the fourth century; nor by the Council of Laodicea, 
 whose canons were received in the fourth century by the Catholic 
 Church. Nor were they ever read in the Christian Church until 
 the fourth century, when they were read as instruction, but not to 
 establish doctrine. In the fifth century they were given to inferior 
 ecclesiastical officers, who read them, standing in a lower place, 
 than those acknowledged to be canonical, which were read in a 
 more conspicuous way. It is thus evident, that, at no period were 
 they held in equal veneration with the Old and New Testament, 
 until the last Council of Trent, at one of its sessions, presumed to 
 place them all (except the prayer of Manasseh, and the Third and 
 Fourth Books of Esdras) in the same rank with the inspired writings 
 of Moses and the Prophets. 
 
 SEPARATE BOOKS OF THE APOCRYPHA. 
 
 THE Apocryphal books vary greatly in character and value, and 
 aie briefly as follows: I. Esdras is principally a historical 
 account, compiled from Nehemiah, Ezra and Chronicles, of the 
 return from captivity, and the restoration of the Temple and its 
 worship. It furnishes little or nothing of historical value. II. 
 Esdras is made up of curious visions and revelations, and claims to 
 have been written by Ezra, to whom it ascribes remarkable knowl- 
 
 edge and power — in all which there is no vestige of value except as 
 a sample of Jewish literature of the period before the advent of 
 Christ. Tobit is a pious and fictitious fable, furnishing ridiculous 
 conceptions in regard to good and evil spirits, yet teaching moral 
 duties, and earnestly inculcating useful lessons. Judith assumes 
 to be a history, in which a Jewish widow of that name is the hero- 
 ine, but it is unquestionably a fiction throughout. The Rest of 
 the Chapters of the Hook of Esther contains spurious additions, 
 most likely by an Alexandrian Jew, annexed to render more com- 
 plete the Book of Esther ; but presenting neither value nor au- 
 thority. The Wisdom of Solomon presents considerable preceptive 
 matter, which has been evidently collected in imitation of the writ- 
 ings of Solomon, and which is all good in [joint of morality, but, 
 in style, both oppressive and wanting in spirit. Ecclesiasticus 
 gathers into a collection a number of precepts and sayings, of a 
 highly moral character, after the m.inner of Solomon, and offers 
 much that is instructive and useful in thought, as also elegant in ex- 
 pression. Baruch assumes the prophetic st\le, and is replete with 
 historic inaccuracy. It has comparatively little claim to merit. 
 The Song of the Three Children was written by some Alexan- 
 drian Jew, and added to Daniel, with a view to its improvem nt; 
 but bears upon its face its unreliableness and lack of inspiration. 
 The History of Susanna, from the same source as the preceding, 
 and annexed to the same book, is of traditional source and fictitious 
 character. The Story of Bel and the Dragon, like the two pre- 
 ceding in source and purpose, is also, with them, legendaiy and 
 feigned. Neither of the three books are worthy of credence. The 
 Prayer of Manasses is largely made up of pious and penitent 
 utterances, attributed to this king of Ju iah, while captive in Baby- 
 lon, and is altogether spurious. The First Book of the Maccabees 
 furnishes important matter regarding the exploits of Judas Macca- 
 beus and his brethren, giving a history of the Jews ior about the 
 space of forty years, b. c. 175-135, from the time Antiochus Epi- 
 phanes began to reign to the death of Smon Maccabeus. It is 
 plainly and accurately written. The Second Book of the Macca- 
 bees covers a period of about fifteen years, beginning before the 
 first book, and evincing an inferiority to it in every way ; also con- 
 tradicting the first book, and exhibiting miraculous monstrosities. 
 Several other books of Maccabees, of but little note, and less signifi- 
 cance, are extant ; also other apocryphal additions to the Old Tes- 
 ment, all which abound in absurdities.

 AMOUNT OF TIME. 
 
 UNDER the above general title, we think it important to 
 enumerate a few brief references to events which are impor- 
 tant to every reader, and which may serve to tempt some into a 
 further investigation of the very interesting history between Mala- 
 chi, the last of the ancient sacred prophets, and the appearance of 
 the great harbinger of the new dispensation. More than four hun- 
 dred years elapsed between the prophecy, by Malachi, of the advent 
 of Christ, and the preaching of John the Baptist. 
 
 JUDEAN EVENTS. 
 
 INURING this interval, Judea became subject to the Persian gov- 
 -*-^ ernor of Syria, — Alexander the Great arose, and through the 
 latter the predictions of Daniel were accomplished in the overthrow 
 
 of the Persians. Alexander died B. c 323, aged only thirty-two 
 years, and Egypt, which had yielded to his power, fell to the lot of 
 Ptolemy Lagus, who advanced into Judea, and led a hundred thou- 
 sand of its people captives into his country. 
 
 LAST REVISION OF THE OLD TESTAMENT. 
 
 DURING b. c. 292, Simon, High Priest of the Jews, and sur- 
 named the Just, died. He was noted for his wonderful 
 knowledge and virtue, and was the last of the race of the Great 
 Synagogue appointed by Ezra for perfecting the restoration of the 
 Jewis 1 Church. He is regarded as having made the last revision of 
 the books of the Old Testament, and as having completed the sacred 
 canon by adding the Books of Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther 
 and Malachi.

 BIBLE HISTORY AND ANALYSIS. 
 
 FIRST TRANSLATION OF THE OLD TESTAMENT 
 
 INTO GREEK. 
 
 MANY Jews were established in Egypt about this time, among 
 whom the Greek had become a familiar language. Hebrew 
 soon fell into disuse, and as the Jews more and more venerated their 
 sacred books, and their synagogue reading became more and more 
 important, they caused a translation to be made, by a number of 
 their chiefs, into Greek for their use, a copy of which was placed in 
 the library of Ptolemy Philadelphus, about b. c. 284. This trans- 
 lation is known as the Septuagint, and was received into use by all 
 the churches of the Greek-speaking Jews. The value of this trans- 
 lation to Christianity is beyond human computation. It was pro- 
 duced, before the time of Christ, in the language in which subse- 
 quently was written the New Testament, and is therefore a great 
 help in determining matters affecting the sense and phraseology of 
 the latter. It presents an unwarped interpretation of the prophecies 
 in reference to the Messiah, by learned and able men, who knew 
 more about the original language than is possible at this late day. 
 This version, in the then international tongue of civilization, pre- 
 pared the way for the preaching of the Gospel, and contributed in 
 no small degree to the union of languages, manners, society, wor- 
 ship, doctrines, etc. 
 
 THE MACCABEAN HISTORY. 
 
 FOR over one hundred years Judea suffered terribly from the 
 wars of the successors to Alexander, especially from Anti- 
 ochus, surnamed Epiphanes. Through his persecutions, Mattathias, 
 a venerable priest of the Asmonean family, with his five sons, John, 
 Simon, Judas, Eleazar and Jonathan, retired from Jerusalem to their 
 native place in Dan. Joined by a considerable number of their 
 faithful countrymen, they rose against the authority of the king, 
 and marching through Judea, broke down the heathen altars in all 
 the cities, restored Jewish rites, destroyed idolatrous priests, and 
 reinstated the true worship. This occurred b. c. 167. Mattathias 
 died the year following, appointing his son Judas, surnamed Macca- 
 beus, to succeed him in the command of an army which was rapidly 
 augmented in numbers by zealou; Jews. Thus was fully begun the 
 patriotic and bold exploits of the Maccabean history, all the facts 
 of which we cannot here trace. Judas defeated several large armies 
 
 of Antiochus, recovered Jerusalem, purified the temple, restored the 
 worship of God, and repaired the almost ruined city. Judas died 
 in battle, b. c. 161, and was succeeded by his brother Jonathan, 
 who with Simon, his brother, continued to govern with singular 
 bravery and prudence. Onias, the high priest, having settled in 
 Egypt, Jonathan assumed the sacerdotal office at Jerusalem, uniting 
 it with the honor of civil governor, and formed an alliance with the 
 Romans, b. c. t6i. Jonathan was afterwards slain at Ptolemais by 
 the treachery of Tryphon, who had usurped the throne of Syria, 
 and Simon was chosen to succeed him, b. c. 144, and after a refor- 
 mation at Jerusalem, he rendered the Jews independent of foreign 
 nations. Having made a tour of Judea, his son in-law, Ptolemy, 
 entertained him in his castle at Jericho, and there murdered him, 
 with his sons Judas and Mattathias, b. c. 135. Simon was succeeded 
 by his son John Hyrcanus, who, after extending his authority, died 
 B. c. 107, leaving his position to his son Aristobulus, who raised 
 Judea again to a monarchy. He was in turn succeeded by his son 
 Alexander Janneus, under whom Judea became a tributary province 
 to the Roman Empire, b. c. 63. Soon after Antipater was made 
 procurator, under the Roman emperor, who was subsequently suc- 
 ceeded by Herod the Great, who, through murh bloodshed, ob- 
 tained the royal dignity, B. c. 40. Under his sons, Judea became 
 fully a Roman province ; Shiloh came, and the sceptre departed 
 from Judah. 
 
 THE ROMAN AUTHORITY. 
 
 UPON the death of Judas the government passed into the hands 
 of other members of the Maccabean family, until finally, 
 through alliances with the Roman Empire, and internal dissension, 
 Judea became a tributary province to the government of the Caesars. 
 First Antipater was made procurator, then his son Herod the Great 
 — the latter obtaining, after considerable bloodshed, royal dignity, 
 B. c. 40, through Antony, the Roman triumvir. He was confirmed 
 in his position by Augu>tr,s b. c. 30, and became distinguished for 
 ability and cruelty. He died suffering torment fearfully. During 
 his reign the Redeemer was born, and the "middle wall of parti- 
 tion" was broke down; the Jewish state, with its ceremonial and 
 temple, was subverted ; and the Jews were scattered abroad in ful- 
 filment of prophecy. 
 
 CITY OF JERUSALEM. 
 
NAME AND CONTENTS. 
 
 THE New Testament is so named because it presents the ratification by Christ's death, in 
 atonement for the sins of the world, of the promises of God's covenant mercy and grace 
 to penitent and believing sinners. It contains twenty-seven books, which may be classified as 
 historical, embracing the Gospels ; doctrinal, furnishing twenty-one Epistles written by the apostles 
 to various prominent churches and individual Christians ; prophetical, setting forth revelations of things which 
 have been, or shall be in the future ages. The whole New Testament is therefore made up of a variety of parts, 
 
 WRITERS. 
 
 SIX apostles, and two inspired disciples, were engaged in the work; four of these had accompanied the Saviour 
 of the World during his life, and were eye-witnesses of his power and majesty, and a fifth, "born out of due 
 time," had seen him and was empowered to work miracles. One of these also wrote the very instructive and 
 prophetical book of Revel itions. 
 
 • MANNER OF RECEPTION AND AGE. 
 
 THESE pieces, comprising the New Testament were received by 
 the ancient churches with the utmost veneration, and were 
 studiously and carefully copied and distributed among the churches. 
 The complete work was given to the world before the death of the 
 last of the apostles, most of whom sealed their testimony with 
 their blood. All the books were written within the period of sixty- 
 one years, acceding to the date of Matthew as A. d. 37 or 39. 
 
 APOCRYPHAL AND SPURIOUS WRITINGS. 
 
 YARIOTJS apocryphal writings are mentioned by writers of the 
 first four centuries, most of which have perished, though 
 some are still extant. Few or none of them were composed before 
 
 the second century, and several were forge 1 as late as the third. 
 But they were not acknowledged by the early Christian Church, 
 and were rejected by those who have noticed them as spurious and 
 heretical. Histories and letters were also written, in imitation of 
 the great heralds of the new dispensation, but they were universally 
 rejected, and have fallen to the ground of their own false weight. 
 
 THE ORIGINAL LANGUAGE. 
 
 THE original language of the New Testament books was Greek. 
 Nevertheless during the time of Christ and the apostles it 
 seems evident that a corrupt Syriac or Hebrew was spoken : 1 Judea, 
 along with the Greek. It is thought that Matthew at first wrote 
 his Gospel in the Judean Syriac or Hebrew, and afterward trans- 
 
 (27) 
 
28 
 
 BIBLE HISTORY AND ANALYSIS. 
 
 lated it into, or re-wrote it in Greek. But the New Testament was 
 written evidently for the people of one language, and that the most 
 useful and generally diffused. Translations were made of it, at a 
 very early period, into different languages. 
 
 EVIDENCE OF GENUINENESS. 
 
 IN reference to the time when the New Testament books were 
 written, no reasonable objection can be offered, since they 
 were published within the day and generation witnessing the trans- 
 actions they record. Their facts, also, were of the most public 
 kind, and have been fully attested to by other writers and events. 
 The Apostles and disciples, also, during the most active and useful 
 portion of their lives publicly proclaimed the very truths and doc- 
 trines they subsequently recorded for instruction. Thus was the 
 New Testament, as we now have it, delivered to the early churches. 
 By the concurrent testimony of all antiquity, botli friends and ene- 
 mies, was its books received by Christians of the various sects, and 
 were they constantly appealed to, in all the controversies between 
 them. Commentaries were written upon them ; and formal cata- 
 logues were published of them, which were attacked by those who 
 even admitted the genuineness of the productions under the names 
 they bore. "The books of Scripture,' 4 * says Augustine, "could 
 not have been corrupted. If such an attempt had been made by 
 any one, his design would have been prevented and defeated. His 
 alteration would have been immediately detected by many and 
 more ancient copies." 
 
 DIVINE AID APPARENT IN THEM. 
 
 IN a former paragraph upon "The Holy Bible," the subject of 
 "Its Inspired Character" has been briefly considered. No 
 regard to particular facts appears therein, as a general refer- 
 ence only was intended. We propose now, however, to record some 
 few things of a very direct and argumentative nature, which we 
 believe will specially establish the presence of the Divine Mind in 
 the great truths of the New Testament. Of course, it is out of the 
 question for any one in our day to fix upon a certain or clearly de- 
 fined line where the power of the human mind ended, and where 
 the help of Infinite Wisdom began. Most likely this was impossi- 
 ble to the individual inspired himself. We know, however, beyond 
 all possibility of doubt, that the minds of the prophets and writers 
 of the Old Testament were empowered and lifted up in the most 
 supernatural manner; and, also, that the unaided intellects or fac- 
 ulties of the writers of the Gospels and Epistles of the New could 
 not have progressed beyond certain facts, which the natural mind 
 could have had some knowledge of, without a higher and more ex- 
 pansive — a supernatural — impulse enabling it to proceed upon and 
 complete those facts For instance, in the history of our blessed 
 Saviour, we have the most indubitable showings of the Divine; and 
 of a wisdom, too, that not only is unfathomable, simply, as pre- 
 sented to us of the current time, but has so been for more than 
 eighteen centuries. No human conception or invention is equal — 
 even in the most moderate degree — to the wonderfully high, deep, 
 broad and mighty instruction it furnishes; and all of which is in- 
 timately linked with mysteries that were too profound for the un- 
 derstandings of the writers, as well as for those of the brightest and 
 best intellects of every age since their time. In the history thus 
 referred to, two things clearly go together as qualifications essential 
 to its preparation (and we speak more particularly of this part, as 
 the base of the New Testament fabric), with which we have to do, 
 i. c., the Divine assistance given to, and the personal experiences of, 
 the penmen. In regard to the latter fact, for at least the space of 
 
 about three and a half years, the Apostles Matthew and John en- 
 joyed the society of the Redeemer. Upon the expiration of that 
 time, or most certainly some years subsequent to it, they wrote their 
 books when it is very sensible to presume that many of Christ's dis- 
 courses and miracles has disappeared from their memories, whilst 
 others had become obscure and uncertain. Thus, they were not 
 only plainly unsafe in writing such things as they have furnished, 
 but in their situations as Christians and teachers, or ministers, were 
 liable of themselves to indite an unreliable and untruthful record, 
 and prove greatly inconsistent and contradictory one with another. 
 Then again, they were but ignorant men, or, at least, without mind 
 culture to any extent, and were not used to selecting and arranging 
 facts from such masses of circumstances and events as must have 
 gathered about the life and work of our Lord. Still further, they 
 knew little or nothing of the requirements of literature, or of the 
 use of such language and terms as would command respectful atten- 
 tion, and intelligently and effectively set forth truths and doctrines 
 in harmonious succession. Of course, these views attach, measura- 
 bly, also, to the penmen of the various Epistles. Under the points 
 given, we would not be true to logic and general observation, as 
 well as experience, if we denied that the minds of the New Testa- 
 ment writers, with their memories and judgments, were aided and 
 enlightened so as to fit them to tell in the most attractive, powerful 
 and remarkable way, the doctrines and doings they have heralded. 
 Thoughts so transcendently grand and dignified look up from the 
 sacred pages they have left to us, that the most majestic flights of 
 human genius appear barren and cold alongside them. Our space 
 will not admit of reflections upon the interesting and great facts of 
 the triumphs and glories of the great Christian record for so many 
 centuries ; and of its continued influence and increase under the 
 smiles of a Providence, who speedily brought the errors and idola- 
 tries of ancient nations to naught These truths of themselves — as 
 solemnly and certainly as the deep-toned lesson of mighty Niagara — 
 teach us " 'Tis the voice of the great Creator, that dwells in its 
 mighty tone." 
 
 NEW DISCOVERIES OF ANCIENT MANUSCRIPTS. 
 
 WHEN our English version was put in print, in 1611, the old- 
 est Greek manuscripts available to the translators were 
 written as late as the tenth century. Since then, several different 
 manuscripts have been brought to light, dating as far back as the 
 middle of the fourth century, which in the hands of separate and 
 eminent Greek scholars, and subjected to the best principles of criti- 
 cism, entirely and wonderfully harmonize. Previous to the tenth 
 century, the manuscripts were written in capital letters, and without 
 space between the words. The three most important and valuable 
 of these, referred to above, are the Sinaitic, the Vatican, and the 
 Alexandrian, many of whose various readings are given by Tischen- 
 dorf in his Leipsic edition of the English New Testament. And 
 the fact is here again apparent, that when we contrast modern dis- 
 coveries of ancient manuscripts with those handed us by a former 
 age, our text is unharmed ; and further that no changes have tainted 
 our great Divine Book. Every additional gleam of testimony only 
 serves to strengthen the conclusion that, substantially, our text is 
 in the condition it was in about 1800 years ago — and, therefore, 
 though so ancient, is correct in every part. All operations, also in 
 Biblical criticism, founded upon successively discovered manuscripts, 
 have only resulted in the establishment of the genuineness of those 
 which our verson has resulted. Thus, we are again taught that the 
 greatest learning and most potent, energies of the world's intellects 
 have, through heaps of documents, been able to do nothing else 
 than substantiate — what all the newest discoveries point to as unal- 
 tered — the great truths of God's Word.

 THE TERM. 
 
 THE word Gospel is most frequently used in connection with the books of the four 
 evangelists, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John; containing a history of the life, 
 actions, death, resurrection, ascension and doctrines of our Lord and Saviour; but is at 
 times applied to the whole New Testament. The word is from the Saxon, god, signify- 
 ing good, and spel, tidings; being of like import with the Latin term, evangelium, or 
 the Greek, euangleion, signifying "good news," or "glad tidings;" the history being 
 the best ever published for mankind. 
 
 A 
 
 CANONICITY. 
 
 T no time has the Christian church acknowledged any other 
 than these four Gospels as canonical; although several apoc- 
 ryphal gospels are handed down to us, whilst others have been lost. 
 Than the canonical Gospels there are no ancient writings to be 
 found better authenticated; being undoubted,. weighty and almost 
 unlimited in the bulk of testimony in favor of them. 
 
 CONTENTS. 
 
 IT^ACH of the Gospels presents the history of our Saviour's life 
 -1 and ministry; yet, it is clear, that no one undertook to give 
 an account of all the miracles which Christ performed, or of all the 
 instructions he communicated. They are prepared with a varying 
 conciseness, yet every one in itself is sufficient to prove that Jesus 
 
 was the promised Saviour, predicted by the prophets for many ages, 
 and whose advent was looked for, both by Jew ami Gentile, about 
 the time of his appearance. The first three of these are often col- 
 lectively termed the " Synoptic Gospels," because, if taken together, 
 they g've a consecutive account of the li r e and doings of Christ, 
 while John more directly exhibits his character and office. 
 
 SEPARATELY AND INDEPENDENTLY WRITTEN. 
 
 IT is a considerable advantage, says Michaelis, that a history of 
 such importance as that of Jesus Christ has been recorded by 
 the pens of separate and independent writers, who, from the varia- 
 tions which are visible in these accounts, hive incontestably proved 
 that they did not unite with a view of imposing a fabulous narrative 
 on mankind. That St. Matthew had never seen the Gospel of St. 
 
 (29; 
 
3° 
 
 BIBLE HISTORY AND ANALYSIS. 
 
 Luke, nor St. Luke the Gospel of St. Matthew, is evident from their 
 writings. The Gospel of St. Mark, which was written later, must 
 likewise have been unknown to St. Luke; and that St. Mark had 
 ever read the Gospel of St. Luke, is very improbable. It has been 
 a generally received opinion that St. Mark made use of St. Mat- 
 thew's Gospel in the composition of his own; but this is an un- 
 founded hypothesis. The Gospel of St. John, being written after 
 the other three, supplies what they had omitted. Thus we have 
 four distinct and independent writers of one and the same history; 
 and, though trifling va-iations may seem to be manifest in their 
 narratives, yet these admit of easy solutions; and in all matters of 
 consequent e, whether doctrinal or historical, there is such a mani- 
 fest agreement between them as is to be found in no other writings 
 similarly prepared. 
 
 OTHER EVIDENCE. 
 
 WHILE we thus have only four original writers of the life of 
 our Saviour, the evidence of that life does not rest entirely 
 on the four men. The Christian religion had been spread largely 
 in the world previous to their having written. Thousands and tens 
 of thousands had seen the evidence, and were able to testify to the 
 great facts the Apostles afterwards recorded. Thus the Gospels 
 were not the great first cause of belief in Christianity, or the seed 
 from which has grown, under God's care and power, the great 
 heavenly cedars that furnish comfort, rest and protection to mil- 
 lions ; but rather the effect of that belief. Nor could the books 
 referred to have been written and received as they were, — as au- 
 thentic histories of subjects of which nearly all persons of that age 
 were judges, — if the facts they have furnished had not been well 
 known to be true. 
 
 THE SEVERAL ACCOUNTS AND VARIANCES. 
 
 XT is noticeable in the different Gospels, that the first, by Matthew, 
 presents the Messiah as the promised King of the Kingdom of 
 God ; the second, by Mark, sets Him forth as "a Prophet mighty 
 in deed and word ; the third, by Luke, exhibits Him in the par- 
 ticular character of the Saviour of sinners; the fourth, by John, 
 announces Him as the Son of God, in whom deity and humanity 
 were combined. It is also a fact, worthy of attention, that the 
 ancient church attached to Matthew the symbol of the lion, to 
 Mark that of a man, to Luke that of the ox, and to John that of 
 the eagle ; and these were the four faces of the cherubim. As to 
 the order which the four accounts referred to occupy in the Testa- 
 ment, the oldest Latin and Gothic versions place Matthew and 
 John first, and afterwards Mark and Luke ; while the other manu- 
 scripts, and the old versions, follow the order given to them in our 
 Bibles. As dogmatical reasons render a different order more natural, 
 there is much in favor of the opinion that their usual position arose 
 from regard to the chronological dates of the respective composition 
 of the four gospels. All ancient testimonies agree that Matthew 
 was the earliest, and John the latest, evangelist. The relation of 
 the Gospel of John to the other three Gospels, and the relation of 
 the Gospels Matthew, Mark and Luke to each other, is very re- 
 markable. With the exception of the history of John the Baptist, 
 and that of Christ's passion and resurrection, we find in John not 
 only narratives of quite different events, but also different state- 
 ments, even in the above sections. On the other hand, the first 
 three evangelists not only tolerably harmonize in the substance and 
 order of the events they tell, but agree, even sentence by sentence, 
 in their separate narratives. To several of these facts a partial al- 
 lusion has already been made. 
 
 SPECIAL REFERENCES. 
 
 UNDER the first paragraph upon this subject we have adverted 
 to the use of the term; we will now, however, in conclusion, 
 present the special references used in Scripture to signify the whole 
 Christian doctrine: "The Gospel of the grace of God," Acts xx. 
 24; "the glorious Gospel of Christ," 2 Cor. iv. 4; the "Gospel 
 of God," Rom. xv. 16; the "Gospel of your salvation," Eph. i. 
 13; "the Gospel of peace," Eph. vi. 15; and "the everlasting 
 Gospel," Rev. xiv. 6. In its exhibition of the glory of God, and 
 of Christ, and its promises to the faithful believer, it has been re- 
 ferred to as "the glorious Gospel;" and in its reference to the 
 kingdom of grace, and delineation of the way to the kingdom of 
 glory, it has been styled " the Gospel of the kingdom." 
 
 Matthew. 
 
 TTMHE writer of this book was a son of Alpheus, and was sur- 
 -L named Levi. He was a native of Galilee ; but neither the 
 city in which he was born, nor the tribe to which he belonged, are 
 known. Though a Jew, he held the post of publican or tax- 
 gatherer under the Romans, his business being to collect customs at 
 Capernaum, on the Sea of Galilee. Jesus commanded him, as he 
 sat at customs, to follow him ; whereupon he left his place and be- 
 came a constant attendant upon the Redeemer, and was chosen one 
 of the twelve. After the ascension he preached in Judea, beyond 
 which little is known of him. It is believed he finally suffered 
 martyrdom at Nadabbar, in Asiatic Ethiopia, being slain by a hal- 
 bert, a. d. 62. Although the genuineness of his Gospel has been 
 freely attacked, its authenticity is well supported. It was early 
 used by Christians, and the Apostolical Fathers accorded it canoni- 
 cal authority at the end of the first century. It was doubtless first 
 written in Palestine, in the Syriac, Syro-Chaldaic, Aramaic, or 
 corrupted Hebrew, the well-known speech of the Jews in his time ; 
 and it was evidently designed for Jewish believers, and to confirm 
 the Messiahship of Christ. It was written somewhere about A. D. 
 40, and is regarded as the only New Testament book written in 
 Hebrew. Most critics agree that Matthew translated it himself 
 into Greek, about twenty years later, for the purpose of more widely 
 extending its usefulness. It is divided into twenty-eight chapters, 
 having five leading sections, as follows: Sect. 1. Furnishes the 
 genealogy of Christ from Abraham, and adverts to facts concern- 
 ing his birth and infancy ; Sect. 2. Contains an account of John 
 the Baptist, and of the beginning, by our Lord, of his public minis- 
 try; Sect. 3. Presents a notice of the discourses and miracles of 
 Christ until his transfiguration ; Sect. 4. Records various discourses 
 and miracles of Christ from his transfiguration to two days before 
 his crucifixion ; Sect. 5. Tells of the sufferings, death, and resur- 
 rection of Christ. The passages in the prophets relating to the 
 Messiah, are more especially noticed by this evangelist, for the 
 direct instruction of his fellow-countrymen. 
 
 Mark. 
 
 THE evangelist who wrote this book is the same who in Acts (xii.) 
 is called by his Jewish name John, and by the Roman sur- 
 name of Marcus; being called simply John, or Mark. He was a 
 nephew of Barnabas, and is supposed to have been converted under 
 Peter. His Gospel is supposed to have been written about a. d. 61, 
 by direction of Peter, and for the special use of the Gentiles. The 
 following, from Eusebius, appears so probable, and comes supported 
 by such high authority, that we deem it well to transcribe it : " The 
 lustre of piety so enlightened the minds of Peter's hearers at Rome, 
 that they were not contented with the bare hearing and unwritten

 instruction of his divine preaching, but they earnestly requested St. 
 Mark, whose Gospel we have, being an attendant upon St. Peter, 
 to leave with them a written account of the instructions which had 
 been delivered to them by word of mouth; nor did they desist till 
 they had prevailed upon him ; and thus they were the cause of the 
 writing of that Gospel, which is called according to St. Mark; and 
 they say, that the Apostle being informed of what was done, by 
 the revelation of the Holy Ghost, was pleased with the zeal of the 
 men, and authorized the writing to be introduced into the churches. 
 Clement gives this account in the sixth book of his Institutions ; 
 and Papias, bishop of Hierapolis, bears testimony to it." It was 
 written in Greek, not long after Matthew, and furnishes most of 
 the facts contained in that evangelist, with some additional infor- 
 mation, in a somewhat more concise form. It is simple and per- 
 spicuous in style, and has been called "the shortest and clearest, 
 the most marvellous, and at the same time the most satisfactory, 
 history in the world." Sixteen chapters, containing three princi- 
 pal sections, are contained in Mark, as follows: Sect. i. Furnishes 
 an account of the ministry of John the Baptist, and of the baptism 
 and temptation of Christ; Sect. 2. Relates the discourses and mira- 
 cles of Christ from the commencement of his public ministry to 
 his visit tc Jerusalem at the last passover; Sect. 3. Presents a de- 
 scription ot the triumphal entry of Christ into Jerusalem, his para- 
 bles and discourses there, and his condemnation, death, resurrection 
 and commission to his Apostles. 
 
 Luke. 
 
 THE writer of this Gospel was a Jew, and a physician, and, ac- 
 cording to Eusebius, a native of Antioch in Syria. He wrote 
 about the same time as. or shonly after, Mirk, and in Achaia, 
 whither he went from Rome. The New Testament furnishes us 
 very few particulars concerning him, nor is he named in any of the 
 other Gospels. Some have asserted that he subsequently preached 
 in Africa. It is supposed that he died a natural death, as no men- 
 tion is made of his martyrdom; but as to the time or place, nothing 
 is known. His Gospel was written for the use of the Gentile 
 Christians, and dedicated to Theophilus, a nobleman, converted to 
 Christianity. It contains some highly valuable accounts not found 
 in the other evangelists, such as, those regarding the childhood of 
 Jesus, the admirable parables in chapters xv. and xvi., the narration 
 regarding the disciples at Emmaus, and other notable particulars. 
 It is clearly established that this Gospel, with the others, is the 
 same now as it was in the second century, and the authorities and 
 evidences are so varied and numerous that no intelligent mind can 
 hesitate to accept them in view of all the facts. The most ancient 
 testimonies in its behalf are those of Marcion, at the beginning of 
 the second century, and of Irenaeus, in the latter half of that cen- 
 tury. But the internal evidences are very noticeable, such as, the 
 marks of authenticity in the oration of Tertullus (xxiv.), the official 
 
 letters (xxiii. ; xv.), and particularly the Pauline address to the 
 elders of the Ephesian church. The book is divided into twenty- 
 four clvapters, containing four principal sections, as follows: Sect. 
 1. Furnishes the particulars of the birth of John the Baptist, and 
 of Jesus, and of their early history until the baptism of Christ; 
 Sect. 2. Relates many of the discourses and mirjcles of Christ 
 during the three years of his ministry, until he went into Judea, to 
 his last passover; Sect. 3. Records the discourses, parables and 
 works of Christ in Judea and at Jerusalem, until he was betrayed ; 
 Sect. 4. Contains an account of the sufferings, death, resurrection 
 and ascension of Christ. Besides this Gospel, bearing his name, 
 Luke wrote the Acts of the Apostles. 
 
 John. 
 
 JOHN the Evangelist, son of Zebedee and Salome, was born at 
 Bethsaida, on the lake of Galilee. His parents were evidently 
 in good circumstances, and his mother was among the number of 
 women who contributed to the maintenance of Jesus. He lived at 
 Jerusalem, and there received Mary into his house after the death 
 of Jesus. John was one of the three who were distinguished above 
 the other apostles, and was " the beloved disciple." It is reasona- 
 ble to suppose that he did not leave Jerusalem before the death of 
 Mary. The precise year in which he wrote his Gospel, is not agreed 
 upon ; but we regard with favor the claim that it was written about 
 A. d. 97 or 98, at Ephesus. According to Eusebius he returned 
 from exile during the reign of Nerva. His three epistles testify 
 that he was the pastor of a large diocese. He died at Ephesus, past 
 the age of ninety, in the reign of the Emperor Trajan. According to 
 Jerome he was 100 years old, and according to Suidas, 120. The 
 genuineness of his Gospel has never been questioned by the Chris- 
 tian church. It is universally agreed that he published it in Asia, 
 and that, when he wrote, he had seen the other three Gospels. 
 The date of its publication has been placed both before and after 
 the destruction of Jerusalem. Its des'gn was to preserve several of 
 the most important and edifying discourses of Christ not recorded 
 by the other evangelists ; to destroy some pernicious heresies which 
 had been promulgated by false teachers respecting the person and 
 death of Christ, and especially to establish the primitive Christians 
 in their belief of the proper deity and humanity of their redeeming 
 Lord and Saviour. It is divided into twenty-one chapters, forming 
 five sections, as follows : Sect. 1. Gives some particulars regarding 
 John the Baptist and the first ministerial acts of Christ ; Sect. 2. 
 Furnishes some discourses and acts of Christ until his last appear- 
 ance at Jerusalem ; Sect. 3. Contains the affectionate discourses of 
 Christ with his apostles, before his death; Sect. 4. Presents the 
 account of Christ's betrayal, condemnation and crucifixion ; and 
 Sect. 5. Relates particulars of Christ's resurrection, and of his last 
 discourses with his Apostles. 
 
 EASTERN SCEPTRES. 
 
OR, THE HISTORY OF CHRISTIANITY 
 
 FOR THE SPACE OF ABOUT 
 
 THIRTY YEARS FROM THE ASCENSION OF CHRIST, 
 
 CONFIRMING THE 
 
 WONDERFUL EVENTS JUST PREVIOUSLY WRITTEN, 
 
 AND COMPLETING 
 THE KEW TESTAMENT HISTORICAL BOOKS. 
 
 WE now come to the fifth book of the New Testament. It 
 begins by alluding to the statement in a previous work of 
 the acts and teachings of Christ, and follows with the circumstances 
 attending the ascension ; with the course of the disciples immedi- 
 ately after: with the fulfilment of the promise in the outpouring of 
 the Holy Ghost; and with the wonderful success of the preaching 
 of Christ ns the Messiah. T en narrating the fates of the parent 
 church at Jerusalem to the time of its terrible persecution by the 
 Jews, it introduces us to the miraculous conversion of one of the 
 most severe and active persecutors of the church, who subsequently 
 became one of its most useful and powerful defenders. Thus Paul 
 is brought forward as the principal personage in the scene, and 
 upon his missionary activity, success and sufferings, the main inter- 
 est of the narrative is afterward fixed, until having followed him to 
 Rome, as a prisoner, upon his own appeal, it abruptly closes, leav- 
 ing us to other sources for further instruction. 
 
 The authorship is undoubtedly traceable alone to that of the 
 third Gospel. The introductory sentence is the same ; tradition is 
 (32) 
 
 decided and continuous in according it to Luke; and from the 
 work itself, it seems that the author accompanied Paul to Rome, 
 when he journeyed thither as a prisoner (xxviii.). And we have the 
 authority of two epistles written by Paul at that time that Luke was 
 with him at Rome (Col. iv. 74; Phil. 24J. The resemblance of 
 style in this book to that of the third gospel, also favors the opinion 
 that Luke was its author. In early times the rejection of this book 
 was confined to such heretics as the Ebionites, Marcionites, Seve- 
 rians, and Manicheans, whose objections were by no means histori- 
 cal ; and who did not question its authenticity, but simply set it 
 aside because it did not fivor their peculiar views. Also, while the 
 book was received as genuine where known, it does not seem to 
 have been at first so largely distributed as the other historical books 
 of the New Testament, for we learn from Chrysostom that many in 
 his time did not so much as know of its existence. 
 
 Some have asserted and labored to prove that the book is not 
 entirely the work of one writer; but in this have most signally 
 failed. The singularities of expression, its general style, its refer- 
 ences from part to part, its unity of prominent thoughts, and its 
 entire connection, all unite in support of the claim that it is the 
 work of a single writer. On the other hand, very many have been 
 of op'nion that the Gospel by Luke and the Acts of the Apostles 
 were originally embraced within one work, forming two parts. But 
 there does not seem to be any satisfactory authority for such belief; 
 and it does not harmonize with the author's statements of the rela- 
 tion of the two writings, being named by him, the former and the 
 
BIBI.K HISTORY AND ANALYSIS.

 Litter "treatise" (logos), a term which wou'd hi inappropriate had 
 he designed to refer to the first and second puts of the same treat- 
 ise; nor does it agree with the notable fait that the two books 
 appeared with separate and distinct titles, from the earliest times. 
 
 In chapter xvi. n we first meet with the use of the first person 
 on the part of the writer, where he speaks of accompanying Paul to 
 Philippi. We then find no mention of him till Paul's return from 
 Philippi, over two years afterwards, when we are informed they left 
 that town in company (xx. 6). From this time to the close of his 
 narrative he appears as the apostle's companion. For the materials 
 of all he has recorded from chapter xvi. u, to xxviii. 31, he may 
 be considered as having drawn upon his own recollection or upon 
 that of the apostle. To the latter source, also, may be traced all 
 he has recorded concerning the earlier events of the apostle's 
 career; and the matters furnished in the first twelve chapters of the 
 Acts, which principally have reference to the church at Jerusalem, 
 and the labours of Peter, were so much information of general ac- 
 quaintance among the Christians with whom Luke associated, that 
 he required no help from any other human source in recording 
 them. There is not the remotest degree of evidence that any 
 manuscripts were extant, as some have labored to show, from which 
 Luke could have gathered his miterials in composing the parts of 
 his history which furnish what did not pass under his own observa- 
 tion ; and in reference to the impossibility of his learning from 
 mere traditionary report the precise particulars he, has given, we 
 must remember, that in common with all the sacred writers, Luke 
 enjoyed the superintending and inspiring influence of the Divine 
 Spirit, whose office it was to guide into all truth. 
 
 The design of the evangelist in writing this book was to supply, 
 by choice and well adapted instances, an illustration of the power 
 and working of that religion which Christ had died to establish. 
 In his previous work, he had offered to his readers an exhibition of 
 Christianity as contained in the person, character and works of its 
 great founder; and having followed him in his narrative until he 
 finally ascended, in the sight of his disciples, into heaven, this second 
 treatise was written in demonstration of the operation of his religion 
 after its assignment to those by whom it was to be announced "to 
 all nations, beginning at Jerusalem" (Luke xxiv. 47). We are 
 thus instructed, by faithful and interesting statements, upon what 
 authority Christianity makes its appearance among men, what bless- 
 ings are offered by her, and by what methods her influence is most 
 largely to be advanced, and the favors and blessings she offers are 
 to be mo^t extensively and most completely enjoyed. 
 
 In regard to the time when this book was written, it seems quite 
 difficult to speak with any precision. As the history is carried up 
 
 to the second year of Paul's imprisonment at Rome, it could not 
 possibly have been finished before A. d. 63; it was most likely, 
 however, completed very soon thereafter, so that we shall not err 
 greatly if we fix the interval between the years 63 and 65 as the 
 space during which it was completed. 
 
 The place where this book was written is involved in still greater 
 uncertainty. But as the author accompanied Paul to Rome, per- 
 il ips it was at that city, and under the auspices of the apostle, that 
 it was prepared. Some have favored Greece, and others contend 
 for Alexandria, in Egypt, as more likely. This latter opinion rests 
 upon the subscriptions at the end of some Greek manuscripts, and 
 of the copies of the Syriac version, but the best critics think these 
 subscriptions, which are also added to other of the New Testament 
 books, are of little weight. 
 
 The style of Luke is greatly purer than that of most other New 
 Testament authors. It contains some Hebraisms, but these are 
 almost totally found in the reported speeches of others. His man- 
 ner of narration is clear, dignified and lively; and he has clearly 
 sketched the style and peculiarity of the speakers he has presented. 
 The book was written in Greek. Epiphanius states that it was 
 translated into Hebrew, or Syriac, which was the common language 
 of the Jews of Palestine, but that those heretics corrupted it. Whilst 
 as Lardner and others have shown, the credibility of the events re- 
 corded by Luke is fully authenticated, both by internal and external 
 evidence, great obscurity attaches to their chronology. 
 
 The Acts has been designated by GZcumenius as the " Gospel of 
 the Holy Ghost;" and by St. Chrysostom as the "Gospel of our 
 Saviour's Resurrection," or the Gospel of Jesus Christ risen from 
 the dead. Watson says of it, "In the history of the lives and 
 preaching of the apostles, detailed in this book, we have the most 
 miraculous instances of the power of the Holy Ghost ; and in the 
 account of those who were the first believers, we have received the 
 most excellent pattern of the Christian life." 
 
 The Acts of the Apostles is divided into twenty-eight chapters, 
 containing six principal sections, as follows : So-ct. 1. Relates the 
 proceedings during ten days at Jerusalem until Pentecost; Sect. 2. 
 Tells of the first publication of Christianity as the Gospel of Solva- 
 tion to all nations, and the rise of the Church until the murder of 
 St. Stephen ; Sect. 3. Records the persecution of the Church at 
 Jerusalem, the d.spersion of the disciples, and the establishment of 
 churches among the Gentiles ; Sect. 4. Refers to the labors of Paul 
 and Barnabas until their separation; Sect. 5. Contains an account 
 of the labors of Paul among the Gentiles; Sect. 6. Presents Paul's 
 journey to Jerusalem, his persecution by the Jews, his appeal to 
 Cos ar, and his being sent a prisoner to Rome.

 IN THE NUMEROUS LETTERS 
 
 BETWEEN ROMANS AND JTJDE, INCLUSIVE, 
 
 AND PERFECTING THE FOUNDATION OF 
 ALL OF 1HEOLOGY AND PRACTICAL RELIGION. 
 
 THEIR BASIS. 
 A LL the revelations of God to man rest upon the impregnable basis of history; 
 A- all H s instructions are enforced in the experiences of men and nations; and 
 all that it is important for us to know, either of His character or purposes, are made known in His 
 dealings with us. Thus, in the Old Testament, as also in the New, the history of God's deeds 
 stand first as the foundation of Scripture ; thereupon follow the books which exhibit the doctrines 
 and the internal life of the men of God. Thus the poetical books follow the historical, and the 
 
 Epistles the Gospels. 
 
 THE TEEM. 
 
 THE name Epistles is given, by way of eminence, to the letters written by the apostles to par- 
 ticular churches or persons, on special occasions or subjects. The word has its Hebrew 
 name from being rolled or folded together. The modern Arabs roll up their letters, and flatten 
 them to about the breadth of an inch, and paste up the end of them, instead of sealing them. 
 The Persians make up their letters in a roll about six inches long, and a bit of paper is fastened 
 round it with gum, and sealed with an impression of ink.

 THEIR DIVISION. 
 HE epistles of the New Testament divide themselves into two parts — the Pauline and the so- 
 called Catholic. The former are thirteen in number; or fourteen, if we add to them the 
 
 (34) 
 
BIBLE HISTORY AND ANALYSIS. 
 
 35 
 
 Epistle to the Hebrews. The latter are seven in number; or one- 
 third of the whole ; and are called Catholic Letters, in contra- 
 distinction to the Pauline. 
 
 PECULIARITIES AND OTHER FACTS. 
 
 THE singularly remarkable character of the Pauline Epistles is 
 apparent to every one, and conclusive evidence of their gen- 
 uineness. Depth, fire and firmness, in thought, speech and charac- 
 ter, are their prominent features; and these are linked with the 
 exercise of the most devoted affection and love. All, but the one 
 to the Romans, were occasioned by circumstances and events in the 
 affairs of societies or communities to which they were addressed. 
 It is clear, from i Cor. v. 9, that a letter to the* Corinthians has 
 been lost. Press of business usually compelled Paul to use his com- 
 panions as amanuenses. His letters may be arranged chronologi- 
 cally into such as were penned before his imprisonment at Rome, 
 and those written during and after it — thus beginning with his first 
 letter to the Thessalonians, and concluding with his second to 
 Timothy, embracing an interval of about ten years. The Pauline 
 Epistles had all their particular directions, while the letters of 
 Peter, James, 1 John, and Jude were circular epistles. The Epistles 
 2 and 3 John were subsequently added, and included on account of 
 their shortness, and to this collection was given the name Catholic 
 Letters. 
 
 THEIR ARRANGEMENT. 
 
 AS furnished in the New Testament, the Epistles do not stand 
 in the order in which they were written ; but to Paul's. — 
 standing first in the order of importance — are given the precedence, 
 and they are placed according to the position and dignity of the 
 audiences addressed. Thus, Rome being the capital of the empire, 
 Romans came first ; Corinth being next in importance to Rome, 
 Corinthians followed ; and so on. Thus also were his individual 
 epistles placed, according to the dignity or favor accorded those ad- 
 dressed. Hebrews was placed last, for the reason that, merely, 
 its authenticity was doubted. Considerable uncertainty exists in 
 regard to the dates of some of the Epistles. 
 
 Romans. 
 
 THIS epistle was sent by Paul from Corinth, A. d. 58, in the 
 fourth year of Nero, to the Church at Rome. Who intro- 
 duced into that city — then "the mistress of the world" — Chris- 
 tianity, and planted there a church, cannot be ascertained. It is 
 likely that the society there consisted partly of Jewish and partly 
 of heathen converts ; as everywhere in his epistle the apostle has 
 regard to both these descriptions of Christians. Tertius was the 
 amanuensis of Paul, and Phoebe, a deaconess, carried it to Rome. 
 The apostle had never yet visited the imperial city, but had heard 
 an account of the church there from Aquila and Priscilla, two 
 Christians who had been banished from thence. Whether any 
 other apostle had at this time preached the Gospel at Rome, can- 
 not be determined. Among those who witnessed the effect of the 
 first effusion of the Holy Ghost are mentioned "strangers of Rome, 
 Jews and proselytes," Acts ii. 10 — that is, those of the Jewish re- 
 ligion who, residing at Rome, had visited Jerusalem at the feast of 
 Pentecost. It is probable, that these, upon their return home, pro- 
 claimed the Gospel of Christ ; and it is also reasonable that others 
 who had been converted to Christianity gradually settled at Rome. 
 The church there seems to have flourished rapidly, and possessed a 
 great degree of purity. To confirm them in that faith, and to 
 
 guard them against the errors of Judaizing Christians, was the object 
 of this letter. It is a writing which, for loftiness and truth of sen- 
 timent, for brevity and power of expression, for uniformity of struc- 
 ture, and for prominence of character and importance, stands unri- 
 valled, if not unequalled, by any human composition. It is divided 
 into sixteen chapters, and four parts, as follows: Sect. 1. Furnishes 
 the introduction; Sect. 2. Is doctrinal; Sect. 3. Comprises the 
 hortatory or practical part of the epistle; Sect. 4. Presents the 
 conclusion, in which St. Paul excuses himself, partly for his bold- 
 ness in thus writing to the Romans, and partly for not having 
 hitherto come to them, but promises to visit them, recommending 
 himself to their prayers; also sends various salutations to the brethren 
 at Rome, and ascribes glory to God our Siviour. 
 
 First Corinthians. 
 
 CHRISTIANITY was unquestionably first introduced at Corinth 
 about a. d. 53 or 54. Upon leaving there for Jerusalem he 
 was succeeded by Apollos. From Ephesus he wrote his First Epis- 
 tle to the Corinthians, in the beginning of A. D. 56. The tran- 
 quility of this church was greatly disturbed by unruly and false 
 teachers, who made pretensions to great wisdom, and sought to 
 undermine the apostle's influence. It is apparent that Paul wrote 
 this epistle in answer to a letter he had received from the church at 
 Corinth. While his advice was sought on certain points, he had 
 intimated little or nothing in regard to the enormities and disorders 
 that had crept among them. Thus the purpose in the writing of 
 the epistle appears as twofold : first, to correct their improprieties, 
 by healing their dissensions, by urging them to gospel holiness, 
 and by establishing the doctrine of the resurrection ; second, to 
 meet their inquiries upon certain points concerning which they had 
 interrogated the apostle, especially regarding marriage, meats offered 
 to idols, and spiritual gifts. This letter produced in the Corinthians 
 great grief, vigilance against the vices reproved, and a very benefi- 
 cial dread of God's anger. They repaired the scandal, and ex- 
 pressed abundant zeal against the crime committed. The epistle is 
 divided into sixteen chapters, and contains six principal sections, as 
 follows: Sect. 1. Presents an introduction to the epistle, with a 
 general review of the doctrines and privileges of the gospel as it 
 had been embraced by the Corinthians, stated with a view to their 
 edification ; Sect. 2. Contains reproofs and instructions for the re- 
 moval of various scandals and corruptions ; Sect, 3. Furnishes the 
 consideration of the questions proposed by the Corinthians to the 
 apostle ; Sect. 4. Contains instructions concerning the manner of 
 women worshipping in public, the decent and profitable reception 
 of the Lord's Supper, and the design and exercise of spiritual gifts; 
 Sect. 5. Considers at large the doctrine of the resurrection of be- 
 lievers in Christ; Sect. 6. Closes the epistle, with directions con- 
 cerning a contribution for the saints at Jerusalem; a promise of a 
 visit ; and commendations and salutations. 
 
 Second Corinthians. 
 
 r I THIS Second Epistle to the Corinthians was written within a 
 -L year after the first one. After sending the first, Paul jour- 
 neyed from Ephesus to Troas, in consequence of the uproar against 
 him, incited by Demetrius, and for the purpose of joining Titus, 
 and from him ascertaining the result of his instructions and admo- 
 nitions to the Corinthian church. Failing to find Titus here, he 
 proceeded to Macedonia, where he met him, and obtained the de- 
 sired intelligence. The report of Titus was only partially favorable. 
 The strictures in the first epistle had produced in their minds a 
 
36 
 
 BIBLE HISTORY AND ANALYSIS. 
 
 godly sorrow, had awakened in ihem a regard for proper church 
 discipline, and had led to the exclusion from their fellowship of the 
 incestuous person. This so affected the mind of the latter that he 
 repented of his evil, and evinced such contrition, that the Apostle 
 now pities him, and exhorts the church to restore him to their com- 
 munion. A ready response had also been given to the appeal in 
 behalf of the saints. But notwithstanding all this, a sectarian op- 
 position to the Apostle's own authority and teaching had become 
 more active, and his claims as an ambassador of Christ were dis- 
 credited. This led to the writing of the second Epistle, in which 
 the language of love is mingled with censure, and ev n threatening. 
 The* Apostle therein vindicates his motives, authority, and labors. 
 It is divided into thirteen chapters, and contains five principal sec- 
 tions, as follows : Sect. i. Furnishes the Apostle's salutation to the 
 Corinthians, and his affectionate introduction to the chief subject 
 of the Epistle ; Sect. 2. Contains instructions to the church to 
 show a tender benevolence toward penitents, a defence of his apos- 
 tolic character from the superior excellency of his ministry above 
 that of the law, and from his faithful discharge of its duties, being 
 supported by the consolations and prospects of the Gospel; Sect. 3. 
 Presents exhortations and directions to mike a liberal contribution 
 for the relief of the poor and persecuted brethren in Ju lea ; Seci . 4. 
 Comprises the Apostle's defence of his apostolic clurarter and au- 
 thority; Sect. 5. Concludes the Epistle with exhortations to self- 
 inspec tion and watchfulness, and prayers for the spiritual prosperity 
 of the Corinthians; and the Apostle closes with a memorable bene- 
 diction. 
 
 Galatians. 
 
 IN a province of the Lesser Asia, bounded by Phrygia, Haylys, 
 Paphlegonia, and Lycaonia, lived the Galatians, a people among 
 whom Christianity was planted by the ministry of Paul and Barna- 
 bas. These churches were made up of Jewish and Gentile converts, 
 who at first received the Gospel with great joy ; but through Judaiz- 
 ing teachings, after the departure of the Apostle, they became cor- 
 rupted from the simplicity of the doctrines of Christ, and though 
 the Gentile element predominated, they were beginning to mingle 
 circumcision, and other Jewish observances, with their faith. For 
 this reason Paul wrote them, and throughout his Epistle his purpose 
 was to contract the pernicious influence of the doctrines of those 
 false teachings, particularly as it respected the article of justification, 
 or a sinner's acceptance with God. In no part of Paul's writings 
 is this important doctrine handled in a fuller and more explicit man- 
 ner; nor is there anywhere displayed a firmer, more infiex.ble and 
 determined opposition to the corruption of truth. This Epistle was 
 written on Paul's "Third Missionary Journey," when, after some 
 stay at Antioch, he went first into Galatia and Phrygia, where he 
 made a tour of the churches, preaching and exhorting as seemed de- 
 sirable. He then directed his steps to Ephesus. While at this lat- 
 ter place he heard that the churches in Galatia were being corrupted 
 by false teachers, and were being persuaded against his authority. 
 To set aside such influences, and re-establish his converts in the true 
 faith, as also to defend his authority, he wrote the Epistle to the 
 Galatians, during his stay at Ephesus, and about the year a. d. 55 
 or 56. The subscription at the end, saying that it was written from 
 Rome, has been added by a later hand, and is without authority. 
 This book is divided into six chapters, with three parts, as follows : 
 Sect. 1. Presents Paul's vindication of himself and the doctrines he 
 preached ; Sect. 2. Contains a defence of the doctrine of free justi- 
 fication by faith in a series of proofs taken from the Old Testament ; 
 Sect. 3. Furnishes the practical application of the doctrines of 
 grace, in exhortations to a life of devotedness to God in the strength 
 of the Holy Spirit and under promised guidance. 
 
 Epiiesians. 
 
 EPHESUS was a well-known city of Ionia, in Asia Minor, and 
 was built on the side of a hill upon the river Cayster. It was 
 the metropolis of the Proconsular Asia, and was formerly in great 
 renown among heathen authors on account of its magnificent tem- 
 ple dedicated to the fabled goddess Diana, which was regarded as 
 one of the wonders of the world. The Ephesians were, to a re- 
 markable degree, given to the most degrading and revolting super- 
 stitions, and their idolatries were associated with the grossest impu- 
 rities. The Apostle Paul first vriited this city a. d. 54. He shortly 
 afterwards again journeyed thither, and remained for the space of 
 three years, gathering together a numerous and prosperous church. 
 His ministry was eminently blessed-, very many being converted to 
 the faith. His Epistle to the Ephesian church wis written from 
 Rome, about A. D. 61 or 62, while he was a prisoner there, and ex- 
 hibits his great joy at hearing of the steadfastness of their faith, 
 and the ardency of their love to all the saints. It seems to have 
 been written in a rapture ; and in regard to it, a prominent writer 
 has strikingly observed, that no real Christian can read the doc- 
 trinal part, without being impressed and roused by it as by the 
 sound of a trumpet. The critics have remarked that the style of 
 the Epistle is exceedingly elevated, and that it corresponds to the 
 state of the Apostle's mind at the time of writing. Ephesus was 
 one of the seven churches. To it were addressed special messages 
 in the Book of Revelation, wherein they were accused of having 
 left their first love, and were threatened with the removal of their 
 candlestick out of its place, except they should repent. This Epis- 
 tle is divided into six chapters, which include two principal parts, as 
 follows: Sect. 1. Is doctrinal, embracing the first three chapters, 
 which may be sub-divided into various sections, including the in- 
 scription at its opening and the Apostle's prayer at its close; Sect. 2. 
 Is practical, comprising the last three chapters, which may also be 
 sub-divided into various sections, beginning with the exhortation in 
 chap. iv. Paul transmitted it to Ephesus by the hands of Tychicus. 
 
 Philippians. 
 
 ONE of the chief cities of Macedonia was Philippi, a Roman 
 colony. It was the first place at which the Apostle Paul 
 preached the Gospel. He was directed thither by a vision sent from 
 God, about a. d. 50, and it is noted especially for the conversion of 
 Lydia and the jailor, although many converts were made there, who 
 soon after gave ttrong proofs of their attachment to him. He 
 visited Philippi at a subsequent time, but nothing is anywhere re- 
 corded in regard to this visit. The Philippian Christians heard of 
 Paul's imprisonment at Rome, and, prompted by a most commenda- 
 ble zeal and affectionate sympathy, sent Epaphroditus to assure him 
 of the continuance of their regard, and to offer him a supply of 
 money. It was because of this evidence of kindness that the Epis- 
 tle was written; and it is replete with the testimony of affection 
 usual to strong expressions. The purpose of the writing was also 
 to encourage the believers in their profession, to guard them against 
 Judaizing teachers, and to acknowledge the receipt of a contribu- 
 tion from them, which was a relief to him in his confinement. The 
 style of the Epistle is elegant, and it contains less censure and more 
 commendation than any other of Paul's letters. Its tone is humble, 
 devoted, kind, and pleasing ; full of warmth, and life, and light. 
 John Chrysostom styles it, " Exhortation and encouragement, 
 without the mixture of any censure whatever." It is divided into 
 four chapters, and eight sections, as follows: Sect. 1. The inscrip- 
 tion ; Sect. 1 2. The Apostle's thanks for their steadfastness; Sect. 3. 
 The effects of the Apostle's imprisonment at Rome, and the exten-

 ing Timothy and Epaphroditus to them ; Sect. 6. Solemn cautions

 Colossi ans. 
 
 COLOS-E, a city of Phrygia Minor, stood on the river Lycus, at 
 an equal distance between Laodicea and Hierapolis. By 
 whose labors this church was established, we have no means of 
 knowing, unless by those of Epaphras or Philemon. This Epistle 
 was written about the same time as those to the Ephesians and 
 Philippians, when the Apostle was a prisoner at Rome. It is not 
 easy to determine the order of these three Epistles. The coinci- 
 dences between that to the Colossians and that to the Ephesians are 
 so close and numerous that the one must have been written immedi- 
 ately after the other. By the greater part the priority is assigned to 
 the Colossians. The Epistle apparently was written in consequence 
 of information received by Paul through Epaphras, their minister, 
 concerning the internal state of their church. Whether Paul had 
 ever himself before this time, visited Colosse, is a matter of no 
 little uncertainty and dispute. A larger portion of this Epistle is 
 directed against certain false teachers who had crept into the church 
 at Colosse — most probably a party of speculatists who endeavored 
 to combine the doctrines of Oriental theosophy and asceticism with 
 Christianity. Against this party the Apostle argues, showing that 
 all hope of the salvation of guilty man is founded on the divinity 
 and all sufficient merits of our Redeemer, cautioning the Colossians 
 against the speculations of vain men, and exciting them to Christian 
 lives. The Epistle is divided into four chapters, containing nine 
 sections, as follows : Sect. 1. The introduction ; Sect. 2. The Apos- 
 tle's thanksgiving and prayer on behalf of the Colossians; Sect. 3. 
 The personal and mediatorial glories of Christ, by whose reconcilia- 
 tion the Gentiles are brought in, in most exalted terms ; Sect. 4. 
 The Apostle's solicitude and prayers for their Christian establish- 
 ment and advancement; Sect. 5. Admonishes them against the 
 philosophical speculations of vain men, and to abide by the pure 
 doctrine of Christ ; Sect. 6. Warns them against the worship of 
 angels ; Sect. 7. Exhorts them to set their affections on things 
 above, from the consideration of their security in Christ, and to the 
 practice of various Christian duties ; Sect. 8. Gives suitable in- 
 structions concerning the relative duties ; and Sect. 9. Presents 
 various exhortations, instructions, salutations, and the conclusion. 
 
 First Thessalonians. 
 
 THESSALONICA, now Salonichi, by the Thermaic Gulf, is the 
 metropolis of Macedonia, and contains about sixty or seventy 
 thousand inhabitants. Here Paul preached the Gospel immediately 
 after leaving Philippi, and established a church ; but after a brief 
 stay he was driven thence by the malice and violence of the unbe- 
 lieving Jews. He fled to Berea, and then went to Athens, whence 
 he sent Timothy back to ascertain the state of the Thessalonian be- 
 lievers, as also to confirm the new converts in their faith. Timo- 
 thy, upon his return, found Paul at Corinth. Thence, probably in 
 a. d. 52, the Apostle wrote the First Epistle to the Thessalonians, 
 and it is reasonable to suppose that its subjects were suggested by 
 the account received from Timothy. It is believed that this is the 
 first of all the Epistles that the Apostle wrote, unless we except that 
 
 to the Galatians. Its design is to comfort the Thessalonians under 
 trial, and to afford them every encouragement to the patient and 
 consistent profession of Christianity. It is divided into five 
 chapters, having six sections, as follows: Sect. 1. Furnishes the in- 
 troduction; Sect. 2. Exprcs cs the Apostle's delight in their turning 
 to God, and becoming spiritually an example to other churches; 
 Sect. 3. Contains an appeal to his own upright course, and that of 
 his collengue-;, among them, notwithstanding the persecutions to 
 which they were subjected ; Sect. 4. Expresses the earnest and 
 warm solicitude of the Apostle for their preservation in the faith ; 
 Sect. 5. Presents consolatory instructions of a highly interesting 
 and important nature ; and Sect. 6. Comprises various exhortations 
 suitable to their needs, and closes with a benediction. 
 
 Second Thessalonians. 
 
 THE preceding Epistle afforded the Thessaloniin Christians much 
 comfort and satisfaction, but in the Apostle's allusion to the 
 second coming of Christ, and particularly in his statement in chap- 
 ter iv. 15-18, he appears to have been either misunderstood by them, 
 or his words were wilfully perverted by some among them, so as to 
 favor the notion that that event was near at hand. On receiving in- 
 telligence of the trouble into which the church was plunged, Paul 
 wrote to them this second Epistle. There is the strongest reason 
 for believing that it was written very soon after the first, and at the 
 same place, viz. : Corinth. The internal evidence in favor of the 
 genuineness of this Epistle is equally strong with that which attests 
 the first. The most remarkable part of it is the prophecy regarding 
 the Romish Antichrist, under the characters of " the man of sin," 
 "the son of perdition," and "the mystery of iniquity." The 
 Papal succession is designed by these titles, by reason of the shame- 
 ful lives of many of them ; the bold and outrageous corruption of 
 Christian doctrine by the worship of angels, saints, images, the 
 host, etc. ; their selling pardons, and indulgences for the most out- 
 rageous crimes ; and their taking the Scriptures from the people, 
 and perverting the properly instituted worship of God. The Epis- 
 tle is divided into three chapters, comprising sections, as follows : 
 Sect. 1. The salutation ; Sect. 2. The Apostle's commendation of 
 their increase in faith, charity, and patience under continued perse- 
 cution, in which he encourages them by the glorious coming of 
 Christ, as Universal Jndge, for the destruction of unbelievers and 
 the complete salvation of his people ; Sect. 3. The Apostle's prayer 
 for their perfect sanctification ; Sect. 4. The correction of their 
 error regarding the end of the world, which he declares must be 
 preceded by a great apostasy, in which "the man of sin " would 
 ruin many and sink himself into perdition; Sect. 5. The apostle 
 thanks God for his grace in choosing and calling the Thessalonians 
 unto salvation and the glory of Christ, exhorts them to continued 
 steadfastness, and prays for them and seeks their prayers in return ; 
 Sect. 6. Presents various exhortations, particularly in relation to 
 those who might be disorderly and busybodies ; and Sect. 7. The 
 conclusion of the Epistle. 
 
 First Timothy. 
 
 THE evangelist from whom this book takes its name, was a native 
 of Lystra in Lycaonia. His father was a Gentile, but his 
 mother, whose name was Eunice, was a Jewess. His mother, and 
 his gradmother Lois, took pious care of his education, and had his 
 mind well-stored with the Scriptures, even from childhood. He 
 was brought to a knowledge of the Christian religion, while yet a 
 youth, through the preaching of Paul, about a. d. 46, who upon a 
 second visit to the Church at Lystra, found Timothy so highly es- 
 
38 
 
 BIBLE HISTORY AND ANALYSIS. 
 
 teemed, both there and at Iconium, that he selected him as an as- 
 sistant in his missionary labors. Before they set out, Paul caused 
 him to be circumcised, not as necessary to his salvation, but to 
 avoid offence to the Jews, as he was a Jew by his mother's side. 
 Timothy was regularly set apart to the ministerial office, by the lay- 
 ing on of hands by Paul, and also by the presbytery. From this 
 time Timothy acted as a minister of the Gospel, accompanying 
 Paul, assisting him in his apostolical office, preaching, and establish- 
 ing churches; never leaving Paul, except on some special mission. 
 To care for the purity of the doctrine, and to manage the discipline 
 of the church at Ephesus, Timothy was left by the Apostle in that 
 city. The purpose of St. Paul's First Epistle to Timothy was to 
 give him instructions concerning the management of the church 
 at Ephesus ; and it was doubtless designed that it should be read 
 publicly to the Ephesians, that they might know of the authority 
 upon which Timothy acted. How long Timothy ministered here is 
 not known. It is said he was put to death by clubs and stones while 
 preaching against idolatry, near the temple of Diana, A. D. 97. 
 This Epistle is divided into six chapters, and eleven sections : Sect. 
 1. The introduction ; Sect. 2. Admonitions to Timothy relating to 
 sound doctrine ; Sect. 3. Encouragements to Timothy, taken from 
 the glorious Gospel ; Sect. 4. Directions as to the subjects and man- 
 ner of prayer and thanksgiving; Sect. 5. Instructions concerning 
 the behaviour of Christian women; Sect. 6. Special instructions 
 relating to the qualifications of bishops and deacons; Sect. 7. 
 Prophecy of apostasy ; Sect. 8. Precepts for Timothy ; Sect. 9. 
 Rules to be observed toward several classes of persons; Sect. 10. 
 Instructions concerning servants, false teachers, and riches; Sect. n. 
 Solemn charge and instructions to Timothy. 
 
 and apostasy from the Gospel ; Sect. 8. Reminds Timothy of his 
 ministerial duty ; Sect. 9. Paul's triumphant reflections on finishing 
 his course, his prospect of death, and anticipations of his crown ; 
 Sect. 10. Concludes with instructions and salutations. 
 
 Second Timothy. 
 
 THE second Epistle to Timothy was written while Paul was under 
 confinement at Rome, and was awaiting the time of his mar- 
 tyrdom, and, as many believe, only a few months before that event. 
 The purpose of the writer was to acquaint Timothy of his temporal 
 condition, and to request his presence, that he might receive the 
 Apostle's dying instructions. It is uncertain where Timothy was 
 when this Epistle was written him. It is claimed by some, that he 
 was in Asia Minor ; by others, that he was at Ephesus. From the 
 nature of the letter Paul was evidently uncertain whether he would 
 live to see Timothy, and he gave him a variety of advices, injunc- 
 tions and encouragements to persevere in the faithful discharge of 
 his office. It was designed to prepare Timothy for the sufferings 
 awaiting him, and to encourage him by his own example. In this 
 we find one of the most convincing evidences of Paul's sincerity, 
 uprightness, and spirituality, that under the miseries of a prison, 
 and in the face of a violent death, he is eager to instruct, and is 
 filled with the consoling influence of the Gospel. The dates most 
 usually assigned to the Epistles of Timothy are, about the end of 
 A. D. 64, for the First, and about July or August of A. D. 65, for 
 the Second. This Second Epistle is divided into four chapters, 
 containing ten sections, as follows : Sect. 1. The inscription ; Sect. 
 2. Paul's affectionate desire to see Timothy, with a commendation 
 of his faith, which had been possessed by his maternal ancestors; 
 Sect. 3. Exhortations to constancy in the Gospel, from the con- 
 sideration of its glorious provisions, which had been experienced ; 
 Sect. 4. The Apostle's deserted condition, with a commendation 
 of the generous faithfulness of Onesiphorus; Sect. 5. Various ex- 
 hortations to encourage Timothy in his ministry in expecting the 
 glory awaiting those who suffer for Christ ; Sect. 6. Directions re- 
 lative to the ministry, and to shun those things by which others 
 have been led to apostasy ; Sect. 7. A prediction of a declension | 
 
 Titus. 
 
 THE evangelist Titus was a Greek, and is first mentioned as 
 going from Antioch to the council at Jerusalem, a. d. 49. 
 The few particulars we have of him, are from the Epistles of St. 
 Paul, as he is not mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles. He ap- 
 pears to have been converted by Paul. At the council at Jerusalem, 
 Paul would not allow him to be circumcised because he was born 
 of Gentile parents. He seems to have accompanied Paul in his 
 second apostolical journey, and from that time was employed by 
 him in the propagation of the truth. The esteem in which he was 
 held by the Apostle is seen from the manner in which he speaks of 
 him to the Corinthians. The place whence this Epistle was written 
 by Paul, is not now known ; but as he desires Titus to come to him 
 at Nicopolis, some suppose he wrote it in the neighborhood of that 
 city, either in Greece or Macedonia. It is evident that Paul, not 
 long before he wrote this letter, had left Titus in Crete for the pur- 
 pose of regulating the affairs of the church ; and that it was written 
 after his first imprisonment at Rome, probably in A. D. 64. It is 
 not known when a Christian church was first established in Crete; 
 but as some persons from the island were present at the first effusion 
 of the Holy Ghost, at Jerusalem, it is probable that upon their re- 
 turn home they introduced the Gospel among their countrymen. 
 Crete is said to have contained many Jews. The main purpose of 
 the Epistle was to instruct Titus concerning the management of the 
 churches, and intended to be read to the churches, that they might 
 know of Titus' authority. The Epistle is divided into three chap- 
 ters, and seven sections, as follows: Sect. 1. The introduction; 
 Sect. 2. Directions concerning the ordination of elders, whose 
 qualifications are enumerated ; Sect. -. The necessity for caution in 
 relation both to Jews and Cretans ; Sect. 4. Various exhortations in 
 reference to different classes of believers; Sect. 5. Obedience to 
 the magistracy, and universal gentleness of behaviour ; Sect. 6. 
 Injunctions to affirm the doctrines of grace constantly for the 
 maintenance of good works, and to avoid heretical caviling; Sect. 
 7. The conclusion of the Epistle, containing requests, directions 
 and salutations. 
 
 Philemon. 
 
 THIS Epistle was written to a resident of Colosse, whose name 
 it bears — a prominent personage, and of exemplary Christian 
 character. He appears to have been converted by' Paul's ministry, 
 and to have become a deacon, if not a pastor, in the Colossian 
 church. The Epistle was evidently written during Paul's imprison- 
 ment at Rome, and was occasioned by his sending back to Philemon 
 his runaway slave Onesimus, who, having found his way to Rome, 
 was there converted through the Apostle, and, after serving Paul a 
 season, was restored by him to his former owner. It is a model of 
 graceful, delicate, and manly writing. It contains only twenty-five 
 verses, but affords many highly instructive lessons. It shows a very 
 ornamental Christian liberality ; it exemplifies the Christian temper 
 in endeavoring to mitigate the resentment of an injured master ; it 
 exhibits a worthy example of affectionate concern for the meanest 
 persons; it shows all Christians to be on an equality before God; 
 that Christianity does not interfere with the civil conditions of men ; 
 that we should not despair of reclaiming the evil ; that we should 
 forgive penitent offenders and be reconciled to them.

 AS COMPARED WITH 
 THE WEAKNESSES AND ERRORS OF JUDAISM. 
 
 THE Epistle was addressed (o Jewidi Christians living in Pales- 
 tine, A. D. 6:, or 63. Though iis genuineness has been dis- 
 puted both in ancient and modern times, its antiquity is unques- 
 tionable. There are references to it in the remaining works of 
 Clement of Rome, Ignatius, Polycarp, and Justin Martyr; and it 
 furnishes internal evidence of having been written before the de- 
 struction of Jerusalem. It does not mention either the author, or 
 the persons to whom addressed. Neither is the superscription, 
 "To the Hebrews," its own, nor the subscription at the end — this 
 being added by some other hand than that of the author. Thus 
 much speculation has existed in regard to it. The best and most 
 commonly received opinion is, and has been, that it was written by 
 Paul, addressed as already stated, and written in the Greek lan- 
 guage. The amount of uncertainty always charged upon it caused 
 it to be placed last in order of Paul's Epistles. In some respects 
 it is the most important of the New Testament Scriptures. It is 
 an invr.luable appendix to the Epistle of the Romans; is an epi- 
 tome of the dispensations of God to man from the foundation of 
 the world to the advent of Christ ; contains the essence of the Gos- 
 pel, the sum and completion of the law; contrasts the new covenant 
 privileges with the temporary character of the typical economy ; 
 and was calculated to reconcile the Jew to his earthly calamities, by 
 holding up before him the mo t gloious promises of an eternal 
 nature. Its argument is profoundly wise and powerful. The design 
 of this Epistle was evidently to dissuade those to whom it was 
 written from relapsing into Judaism, and to exhort them to cleave 
 
 to the truths they had received. The Epistle concludes, as is usual 
 with Paul, with a series of practical exhortations and pious wishes. 
 It isrlivided into thirteen chapters, and contains three parts, as fol- 
 lows : Sect. 1. Demonstrates the superiority of Christianity to the 
 Levitical dispensation ; Sect. 2. Contains the application of the 
 doctrines established for the consolation of the Hebrews under their 
 trials; and Sect. 3. Furnishes practical exhortations to the Hebrews. 
 
 James. 
 
 THIS Epistle is called the first catholic, or general, by Eusebius. 
 Some doubts have been expressed in ancient and modern 
 times as to the correctness of the authorship claimed for it by the 
 church, as the writer simply styles himself "James, a servant of 
 God, and of the Lord Jesus Christ." It has been attributed to no 
 less than four different persons, viz.: James, the son of Zebedee; 
 James, the son of Alphaeus ( oth of the twelve); James, our Lord's 
 brother; and some anonymous author assuming such name. But a 
 critical examination of all the facts relating to its authorship shows 
 that James the Less, surnamed the Just, who became bishop of Jeru- 
 salem, must have written it (probably a. d. 61) shortly before his 
 martyrdom, which took place, a. d. 62, six years before the destruc- 
 tion of Jerusalem. It is addressed to Jewish Christians, the descend- 
 ants of the twelve tribes ; but the circumstance of its being written 
 in Greek shows the author's purpose to make it generally available 
 to Christians. It is also addressed, in some passages, to those who 
 
 (39)

 did not believe. Its name catholic was given it because it was not 
 written to any particular church, but to the dispersed Jewish nation. 
 In the manner of its address, it differs from all others in the New 
 Testament, and the general style approximates that of a prophet of 
 the Old. It is close and sententious ; combines practical good 
 sense with the most vivid and poetical conception; its imagery 
 is various and luxuriant ; its sentiments chastened and sober; and 
 its eloquence and persuasiveness such as to command universal ad- 
 miration. The name of our Lord occurs but twice, and it is with 
 out apostolical salutation or benediction. It is divided into five 
 chapters, and eight sections, as follows: Sect. i. Commences with 
 consolations addressed to faithful converts, with exhortations to 
 patience, humility and piety ; Sect. 2. Undue respect to persons is 
 condemned and love enjoined ; Sect. 3. Erroneous ideas on justifi- 
 cation are corrected ; Sect. 4. The temerity of new teachers is re- 
 pressed ; Sect. 5. An unbridled tongue is inveighed against, and 
 heavenly wisdom contrasted with covetousness ; Sect. 6. Swearing 
 is prohibited ; Sect. 7. The efficacy of prayer is proved by exim- 
 ples, and the unction of the sick by the Presbyters, together with 
 prayer and mutual confession, are enjoined ; Sect. 8. The advent 
 of the Lord is foretold. 
 
 First Peter. 
 
 THE two Epistles of St. Peter are of the seven catholic — the 
 first of which was universally received in the early church, 
 whilst the second has been ranked among the controverted. The 
 external and internal evidence in support of the genuineness of the 
 first, is complete. The vehement and energetic style are in strict 
 keeping with the warmth and zeal of Peter's character, and every 
 one who has entered into its spirit has felt impressed with the force 
 of the observation of Erasmus, " that this Epistle is full of apos- 
 tolical dignity and authority, and worthy of the prince of the 
 Apostles." It seems to have been written in a time of grievous 
 persecution, when Christians became scattered, and is styled general, 
 because addressed to all believers, from the Jews, and the idolatrous 
 nations. It must have been written in or about Babylon, before 
 A. D. 67-68, the year of Peter's martyrdom. Lardner dates it A. d. 
 6$ or 64, whilst Hug fixes the eleventh year of Nero, a. d. 65, a 
 year after the conflagration of Rome, and five before the destruc- 
 tion of Jerusalem. The purpose of the writer was to comfort be- 
 lievers under terrible trials. This Epistle is divided into five chap- 
 ters, containing sixteen sections, as follows: Sect. 1. Salutes the 
 brethren; Sect. 2. Shows the necessity of their trials; Sect. 3. 
 Exhorts believers to holiness; Sect. 4. Enjoins upon them brotherly 
 love; Sect. 5. Exhorts to a devout study of the Word of God; 
 Sect. 6. Declares the character of believers as the children of God ; 
 Sect. 7. Beseeches believers to abstain from fleshly lusts, to glorify 
 God, and to practice the various duties of life, whether as subjects 
 or servants ; Sect. 8. Exhorts to patience under persecution, after 
 the example of Christ; Sect. 9. Enjoins upon husbands and wives 
 their respective duties; Sect. 10. Exhorts to the duties of brotherly 
 love and to steadfastness under persecution, so as with a well fur- 
 nished mind and in the most proper temper to be able to defend 
 the Gospel; Sect. 11. Shows that the destruction of the antedilu- 
 vians was an emblem of the perdition of the wicked at judgment, 
 and the preservation in the ark an emblem of salvation through 
 Christ; Sect. 12. Exhorts us to conformity to Christ; Sect. 13. 
 From the approaching end in Jewish affairs, believers are urged to 
 Christian duties; Sect. 14. Gives various encouragements to pa- 
 tience and confidence; Sect. 15. Exhorts the ministers of the 
 churches to feed the flock of Christ, and the people to suitable 
 behavior; Sect. 16. Concludes with salutations and benediction. 
 
 Second Peter. 
 
 r I ^HE authority of the Epistle was for a time called in question, 
 -*- as we learn from Origen, Eusebius and Jerome; but since 
 the fourth century it has been universally received, except by the 
 Syriac Christians. It is addressed to the same persons as the pre- 
 ceding one, and was written, it is supposed, about a year later. Its 
 date is generally fixed about a. d. 65, or not long before Peter's 
 death. Wetstein concludes, from its third chapter, that it must have 
 been written before the destruction of Jerusalem, in which case the 
 correctness of its authorship cannot be disputed. It was clearly 
 written in anticipation of a violent death, and perhaps from Rome, 
 where it is believed the author suffered. The tradition maintained by 
 the Roman Catholic Church that Peter became bishop of the church 
 in that city, and using that as a claim on behalf of the supremacy of 
 the Pope has led to a careful and sifting examination of the accuracy 
 of that tradition ; the result of which seems to be that while it is 
 admitted as certain that Peter suffered martyrdom, probably by cru- 
 cifixion, and probably at Rome, it has been made pretty clear that 
 he never was for any length of time a resident of that city, and 
 morally certain that he never was bishop of the church there. The 
 leading purpose of the Epistle was to confirm the doctrines and 
 instructions contained in the former; to establish converts in the 
 truth and profession of the Gospel; to excite them to adorn their 
 calling ; to caution them against false teachers ; to warn them against 
 the implacable enemies of the Gospel; and to prepare them for the 
 coming of Christ. The Epistle is divided into three chapters, con- 
 taining nine sections, as follows: Sect. 1. The salutation, showing 
 the inestimable blessings to which the brethren had been called ; 
 Sect. 2. Exhorts to diligence in Christian duties in order to secure 
 heaven ; Sect. 3. Declares his approaching martyrdom the special 
 reason of his affectionate admonition; Sect. 4. Urges evidence in 
 confirmation of his testimony, and enjoins regard to the Scriptures; 
 Sect. 5. Foretells the coming of false teachers, their corrupt tenets 
 and practices, and the divine judgments against them ; Sect. 6. 
 Warns believers against scoffers and impostors ; Sect. 7. Shows the 
 reason why that great day is delayed, and describes its awful conse- 
 quences as powerful argument for personal holiness; Sect. 8. De- 
 clares the agreement of Paul's doctrine with that of this Epistle ; 
 and Sect. 9. Concludes with warnings and exhortations 
 
 First John. 
 
 FOR the authenticity of this first Epistle very ancient testimony 
 is furnished. Papias, the disciple of John, quotes some pas- 
 sages from it. Polycarp, also, another disciple of John, quotes a 
 passage from this Epistle. So, also, Irenseus. The name of John 
 is neither prefixed nor subscribed to it, yet from the earliest times 
 it has always been attributed to him. The style and language are 
 evidently those of the Gospel of John. It is supposed to have been 
 written to Christian congregations in Asia Minor, which were under 
 the Apostle. It breathes out love and devotion, but also zeal for 
 moral strictness. It exhibits a remarkable absence of logical con- 
 nection in the form of separate expressions, and in the transitions 
 from one thought to another, which we think is chiefly attributable 
 to the mental peculiarity of the Apostle. It was written about 
 A. d. 68 ; and the design of it was to guard the Christians against 
 the doctrines of certain heretics or antichrists, supposed by learned 
 men to be the Corinthians and Gnostics ; to excite all who profess 
 to know God and Jesus Christ to walk in the way of holiness and 
 love, and not in the gloom of sin and ungodliness ; to live in holy 
 communion with one another and with the Father and his Son Jesus 
 Christ, and to rejoice in hope of eternal felicity in heaven. This 
 Epistle has five chapters, including sixteen sections, as follows:

 the difference between those taught of God, and the world. 
 
 Second John. 
 
 THIS, as also the succeeding Epistle, was originally wanting in 
 the ancient Syriac translation. From their character, being 
 very short and treating of private affairs, we have an explanation of 
 their being less generally known among the ancient Christian congre- 
 gations, and also of the fact that the fathers do not quote them so 
 often, as other portions of Scripture. Also the private nature of their 
 contents, is a proof against any suspicion of forgery, since no reasona- 
 ble purpose could be disclosed in the production of such a forgery. 
 This Epistle is directed to a female, designated by the honorable 
 mention, in the Greek, of Eklckta kuria, " the elect lady." She 
 seems to have been an estimable Christian woman, most likely a 
 widow, well known to the churches; but as to her residence we 
 have now no definite information. Although the Epistle does not 
 bear the name of the author, it was clearly written by John the 
 Apostle, about A. d. 69, with a view to consoling this lady and her 
 family, and of grounding them in the true doctrine of Christ. The 
 whole is a short syllabus of the First Epistle, or the same thing in a 
 renewed form. The words also are the same. The female appears 
 to him in the circumstances and dangers of the society, in the in- 
 struction and admonition of which he had just been employed. 
 Judging from local circumstances, she also lived at Ephesus. While 
 we are ignorant of the history of this lady, we are prompted to re- 
 joice in the assurance that her children had received like faith with 
 their mother, and that by their adherence to the truth they evinced 
 the reality of their faith, while enjoying the benevolent counsel of 
 the Apostle. In this we have an interesting and instructive family 
 picture. The Epistle is divided into thirteen verses, including five 
 sections, as follows: Sect. 1. Addresses the lady and her children 
 with apostolical salutation, commending their love in the truth ; 
 Sect. 2. Congratulates the family on their steadfastness in the truth, 
 and exhorts them to perseverance in faith and love ; Sect. 3. De- 
 clares that many antichrists had arisen, and therefore watchful dili- 
 gence and adherence to the doctrine of Christ were indispensable 
 to the obtaining a full reward; Sect. 4. Admonishes to have no 
 intercourse with those who disseminate false doctrines; Sect. 5. 
 Concludes the Epistle. 
 
 Third John. 
 
 THE Third Epistle of John is addressed to a person by the name 
 of Gaius, who is otherwise unknown. Three persons of this 
 name are referred to in the New Testament, viz., Gaius of Mace- 
 
 donia (Acts xix. 29), Gaius of Derbe (Acts xx. 4), and Gaius of 
 Corinth (Rom. xvi. 23; 1 Cor. i. 14). The last of these was the 
 person, in a declining state of health, to whom this Epistle is sup- 
 posed to have been addressed. He seems to have been a member 
 of the Corinthian Church, of considerable wealth, and a valuable 
 help in the advancement of the work of Christian missions, by the 
 generous aid he gave to the faithful ministers of Christ. The term 
 " presbyter," or " elder," expressed in the Epistles of John adegree 
 of friendliness, and was chosen on account of the advanced age of 
 the writer. Paul, also, in his letter to Philemon, abstains from the 
 title of Apostle. The purpose of this letter to Gaius was to encour- 
 age him, commending the steadfastness of his faith and his kind 
 hospitality, especially to the missionaries of Christ ; to caution him 
 against the ambitious turbulence of one Diotrephes ; to recommend 
 Demetrius to his friendship, and to intimate the intended visit of 
 the Apostle. Here, also, are allusions to the dangers arising from 
 the Gnostic heresy. The admonition in verse 10, not to receive 
 such heretics as Christian brethren, agrees with the ancient tradi- 
 tion, that John made haste to quit a public bath after Cerinthus, 
 the Gnostic, entered it, declaring he was afraid the building 
 would fall down. This Epistle was written about the same time as 
 the second, and is divided into fourteen verses, including five sec- 
 tions, as follows: Sect. 1. Expresses affection to Gaius in the bonds 
 of the Gospel, and desires health equal to the prosperity of his soul ; 
 Sect. 2. Congratulates him on the testimony borne by the brethren 
 to his steadfastness in the faith; Sect. 3. Commends his generous 
 hospitality to the missionaries, so necessary to those self-denying 
 men, who were consecrating all their powers to the ministry among 
 the Gentiles ; Sect. 4. Complains of Diotrephes, whose ambitious 
 violence wasted the Church, and cautions against so evil an exam- 
 ple; Sect. 5. Recommends Demetrius, promises a visit and con- 
 cludes with salutations. 
 
 Jtjde. 
 
 THE author of this Epistle, called Judas, and also Thaddeus, and 
 Lebbeus, was one of the twelve Apostles; he was the son of 
 Alpheus, brother of James the less, and one of those called our 
 Lord's brethren. The only particular account we have of him is 
 that contained in John xiv. 21-23. ^ nas Deen supposed that, 
 after receiving, with the other Apostles, extraordinary gifts at the 
 Pentecost, he preached the Gospel for some time in several parts 
 of the land of Israel, and wrought miracles in the name of Christ. 
 And it has also been supposed that, as his life appears to have been 
 prolonged, he afterward left Judea, and went abroad preaching the 
 Gospel to Jews and Gentiles in other countries. There is, however, 
 no account of his travels or work, upon which we can rely. His 
 Epistle was written about a. d. 65 ; and its design was to guard be- 
 lievers against the principles and practices of the false teachers who 
 had arisen in the church during the apostolic age. By describing 
 their character, displaying their impious doctrines and disorderly 
 lives, and pointing out the divine judgments which such persons 
 had reason to expect, the Apostle cautions Christians against listen- 
 ing to their insinuations, and thus being corrupted in their faith. 
 It is no easy matter for us to determine who the persons were to 
 whom this Epistle was written, — some supposing converted Jews ; 
 others, to all Christians, without distinction. Many of the argu- 
 ments appear best adapted to convince the Jewish Christians, as 
 appeals are so strikingly made to their sacred books and traditions. 
 It is divided into twenty-five verses, containing seven sections, as 
 follows: Sect. 1. After the general salutation to believers, the 
 Apostle exhorts them to a vigorous and holy contention for the 
 purity of the faith ; Sect. 2. Reminds them of some awful instances

 of divine vengeance on sinners; Sect. 3. Declares that these false 
 teachers were preparing themselves for the blackness of eternal dark- 
 ness; Sect. 4. Shows the certainty of those punishments on the 
 wicked, from a noted prophecy of Enoch ; Sect. 5. Further de- 
 scribes these corrupters of doctrine and morals ; Sect. 6. Exhorts 
 to seek their own edification through the Holy Spirit in their devo- 
 tions; Sect. 7. Directs to pity and restore those in danger, and 
 concludes with a doxology. It is most likely that the Apostle took 
 the accounts of Michael and the Prophecy of Enoch from an ancient 
 tradition preserved and well known among the Jews. 
 
 Revelation. 
 
 IN reference to the authorship of this book, it is noticeable that 
 the writer calls himself John, but says nothing of himself as 
 an Apostle; yet there is strong testimony among ancient writers, 
 that this John was the beloved disciple. The external evidence in 
 favor of its genuineness and authenticity is overwhelming, while the 
 internal circumstances amply confirm it. The style and language 
 is unquestionable ; the dignity and sublimity unrivalled ; the changes 
 and power of its images superhuman ; and the evidences of its divine 
 and prophetically truthful character irresistible. It seems to have 
 been written a. d. 96 or 97, and its scenes wer: revealed to the 
 Apostle during his banishment to Patmos, in the latter part of Do- 
 mitian's reign. The earliest author now extant who mentions 
 Revelation is Justin Martyr, who lived about sixty years after it 
 was written, and he ascribes it to St. John. So also Irseneus, whose 
 evidence is sufficient; he having been the disciple of Polycarp, who 
 
 was the disciple of John himself; and he speaks of having had an 
 explanation of a certain passage from those who had conversed with 
 St. John the author. These fathers have been followed by many 
 others; and, as Mr. Lowman observes, " hardly any one book has 
 received more early, more authentic, and more satisfactory attesta- 
 tions." It is called the Revelation of John the Divine; and this 
 appellation was first given to St. John by Eusebius, simply as an 
 honorable title, because to him was more fully revealed the system 
 of divine counsels. It is a remarkable fact in connection with 
 Revelation, that its views are set forth in so striking a manner that 
 even those who do not at all understand the prophetical meaning 
 are interested and edified by reading it in proportion to the degree 
 of their humility, faith and piety. It is not a civil history, but ex- 
 hibits a history of the church, especially of its early struggles with 
 the powers of darkness and the malice of superstition. Trials im- 
 pending over the church, and judgments over her enemies, — these 
 are the burdens of the prophecy. The book is divided into twenty- 
 two chapters, containing four sections, as follows; Sect. 1. The in- 
 troduction contains a dedication to the seven churches in Asia 
 Minor, ascriptions of glory to God, and a description of the glorious 
 vision of the Lord Jesus Christ, with which John was favored in his 
 exile; Sect. 2. Contains the seven Epistles to the churches; Sect. 
 3. Describes several wondrous visions which the Apostle beheld ; 
 Sect. 4. Includes the remainder of the book, from chapter vi. to 
 xxii., referring to the condition of the Church in all succeeding 
 ages, to the consummation of blessedness in the world of glory. 
 This part of the book relates to seven distinct periods of the Church, 
 the revolutions of which the Apostle describes.

 Is Absolute. — See now that I. even I am he, and there is no god

 to heaven, and say, I live for ever. Deut. 32 : 39, 40. 
 
 God of Souls. — Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the

 Worker of Wonders. — Where wast thou when I laid the foundations 
 of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. Who hath laid 
 the measures thereof, if thou knowest ? or who hath stretched the line 
 upon it ? Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened ? or who 
 laid the corner-stone thereof; when the morning stars sang together, 
 and all the sons of God shouted for joy? Or who shut up the sea 
 with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb? 
 When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a

 TRINITY OF THE GODHEAD. 
 
 - Scriptural Proofs. — And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up 
 straightway out of the water : and lo, the heavens were opened unto 
 him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and 
 lighting upon him : and lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my 
 beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Matt. 3 : 16, 17. 
 
 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the 
 Spirit of God dwell in you. Now, if any man have not the Spirit 
 of Christ, he is none of his. Rom. 8 : 9. 
 
 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the 
 Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed : and that no man can say Jesus 
 is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. Now there are diversities of 
 gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administra- 
 tion, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of operations, 
 but it is the same God which worketh all in all. 1 Cor. 1 2 : 3-6. 
 
 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one 
 hope of your calling : one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God 
 
 and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you ail. 
 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of 
 the gift of Christ. Eph. 4 : 4-7. 
 
 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through 
 sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the 
 blood of Jesus Christ : Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied. 
 
 1 Pet. 1 : 2. 
 
 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, 
 praying in the Holy Ghost, keep yourselves in the love of God, 
 looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. 
 Jude : 20, 21. 
 
 Salvation — -The Work of. — But we are bound to give thanks always 
 to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath 
 from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification 
 of the Spirit and belief of the truth : whereunto he called you by 
 our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 
 
 2 Thes. 2 : 13, 14. But after that the kindness and love of God our 
 Saviour toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which 
 we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the wash- 
 ing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost ; which he 
 shed on us abundantly, through Jesus Christ our Saviour. Tit. 3 : 4-6. 
 
 Baptism Unto. — Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing 
 them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy 
 Ghost. Matt. 28 : 19. 
 
 Benediction in Name of. — The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and 
 the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with 
 you all. Amen. 2 Cor. 13: 14.

 MAN. 
 
 His Creation. — And God said, Let us make man in our image, 
 after our likeness : and let them have dominion over the fish of the 
 sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all 
 the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 
 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created 
 he him ; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, 
 and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the 
 earth, and subdue it : and have dominion over the fish of the sea, 
 and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth 
 upon the earth. Gen. 1 : 26-28. 
 
 Nature. — And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the 
 ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life ; and man 
 became a living soul. Gen. 2 : 7. 
 
 Subject to God. — God that made the world and all things therein, 
 seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples 
 made with hands ; neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though 
 he needed anything, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and 
 all things ; and hath made of one blood all nations of men for to 
 dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times 
 before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation ; that they 
 should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find 
 him, though he be not far from every one of us : for in him we live, 
 and move, and have our being. Acts 17 : 24-28. 
 
 Yet Rebellious^ — Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made 
 man upright ; but they have sought out many inventions. Eccl. 
 7: 29. 
 
 HIS FALL, AND THE CURSE. 
 
 Loss of Innocence. — Now the serpent was more subtile than any 
 beast of the field, which the Lord God had made. And he said unto 
 the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the 
 garden? And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the 
 fruit of the trees of the garden : 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. And the serpent said unto the 
 woman, Ye shall not surely die : for God doth know that in the day 
 ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as 
 gods, knowing good and evil. And when the woman saw that the 
 tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant 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 unto her husband with her, and be did 
 eat. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that

 they were naked ; and they sewed fig-leaves together, and made 
 themselves aprons. Gen. 3 : 1-7. 
 
 Doom of Death. — And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Be- 
 cause thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above 
 '.•very beast of the field ; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt 
 thou eat all the days of thy life : and I will put enmity between thee 
 and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed ; it shall bruise 
 thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. Unto the woman he said, I 
 will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception ; in sorrow thou 
 shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, 
 and he shall rule over thee. And unto Adam he said, Because thou 
 hast hearkened unto 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; thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and 
 thou shalt eat the herb of the field. In the sweat of thy face shalt 
 thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground ; for out of it wast 
 thou taken : for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. . . . 
 So he drove out the man : and he placed at the east of the garden of 
 Eden cherubim, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to 
 keep the way of the tree of life. Gen. 3 : 14-19, 24. 
 
 Mortality. — What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? 
 shall he- deliver his soul from the hand of the grave ? Selah. Psa. 
 89: 48. 
 
 Death by Sin. — Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the 
 world, and death by sin ; and so death passed upon all men, for that 
 all have sinned : for until the law, sin was in the world : but sin is 
 not imputed when there is no law. Nevertheless death reigned from 
 Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the simili- 
 tude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to 
 come. Rom. 5 : 12-14. 
 
 Dust to Dust. — All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all 
 Eccl. 3 : 20. 
 
 turn to dust again 
 
 HUMAN DEPRAVITY. 
 
 Man is Unclean. — Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? 
 not one. Job 14: 4. What is man, that he should be clean? and 
 he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous ? Behold, 
 he putteth no trust in his saints ; yea, the heavens are not clean in 
 his sight. How much more abominable and filthy is man, Avhich 
 drinketh iniquity like water? Job 15 : 14-16. 
 
 Alienated from God. — The fool hath said ill his heart, There is no 
 God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is 
 none that doeth good. The Lord looked down from heaven upon 
 the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, 
 and seek God. They are all gone aside, they are all together become 
 filthy : there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Have all the 
 workers of iniquity no knowledge ? who eat up my people as they 
 eat up bread, and call not upon the Lord. Psa. 14: 1-4. 
 
 Sinful by Birth. — Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did 
 my mother conceive me. Psa. 51: 5. 
 
 Perversely Ignorant. — Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O con- 
 gregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men? Yea, in 
 heart ye work wickedness ; ye weigh the violence of your hands in 
 the earth. The wicked are estranged from the womb : they go astray 
 as soon as they be born, speaking lies. Their poison is like the poison 
 of a serpent : they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear ; 
 which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so 
 wisely. Psa. 58: 1-5. 
 
 Forgetful of Eternity. — This is an evil among all things that are 
 done under the sun, that there is one event unto all : yea, also the 
 heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their hearts 
 while they live, and after that they go to the dead. Eccl. 9 : 3. 
 
 Impure. — Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure 
 from my sin? Prov. 20: 9. 
 
 Prone to Sin. — For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth 
 good, and sinneth not. Eccl. 7 : 20. 
 
 Dead in Trespasses. — We lie down in our shame, and our confu- 
 sion covereth us : for we have sinned against the Lord our God, we 
 and our fathers, from our youth even unto this day, and have not 
 obeyed the voice of the Lord our God. Jer. 3 : 25. 
 
 Deceitful in Heart. — The~heart is deceitful above all things, and 
 desperately wicked : who can know it ? I the Lord search the heart, 
 /try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and 
 according to the fruit of his doings. Jer. 17: 9 
 
 Rebellious in Spirit. — Your words have been stout 
 
 against 
 
 me, 
 
 saith the LORD Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against 
 thee? Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it 
 that we have kept his ordinance? Mai. 3 : 13, 14. 
 
 A Doer of Dark Deeds. — And this is the condemnation, that light 
 is come into the world, and men Loved darkness rather than light, 
 because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth 
 the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be 
 reproved. John 3 : 19, 20. 
 
 Defiled in Soul. — That which cometh out of the man, that defileth 
 the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil 
 thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, 
 wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, 
 foolishness : all these evil things come from within, and defile the 
 man. Mark 7 : 20-23. 
 
 Flesh Warring with Spirit. — The flesh lusteth against the Spirit, 
 and the Spirit against the flesh : and these are contrary the one to 
 the other; so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. Gal. 
 
 5: i7- 
 
 Tempted of His own Lusts. — Let no man say when he is tempted, 
 I am tempted of God : for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither 
 tempteth he any man : but every man is tempted, when he is drawn 
 away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, 
 it bringeth forth sin ; and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth 
 death. Jas. 1 : 13-15. 
 
 Punished for Transgression. — Thy first father hath sinned, and 
 thy teachers have transgressed against me. Therefore I have pro- 
 faned the princes of the sanctuary, and have given Jacob to the 
 curse, and Israel to reproaches. Isa. 43 : 27, 28. 
 
 A Warning Cry. — If we say that we have no sin, we deceive our- 
 selves, and the truth is not in us. 1 John 1 : 8. 
 
 THE DIVINE LAW. 
 
 Law of Love. — Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy 
 heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first 
 and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou 
 shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments 
 hang all the law and the prophets. Matt. 22 : 37-40. 
 
 Love is Obedient. — This is the love of God, that we keep his com- 
 mandments : and his commandments are not grievous. 1 John 5 : 3. 
 
 Duty to God. — He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good ; and 
 what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love 
 mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God. Mic. 6 : 8. 
 
 Allegiance to Christ. — And this is his commandment, That we 
 should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one 
 another, as he gave us commandment. 1 John 3 : 23. 
 
 Our Whole Duty. — Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: 
 Fear God, and keep his commandments : for this is the whole duty of 
 man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every 
 secret thing, whether it he good, or whether it be evil. Eccl. 12 : 
 
 IMPOTENCY OF SPIRIT. 
 
 I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing : 
 for to will is present with me ; but how to perform that which is 
 good I find not. For the good that I would, I do not : but the evil 
 which I would not, that I do. Now if I do that I would not, it is no 
 more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. I find then a law, 
 that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight 
 in the law of God after the inward man : but I see another law 
 in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing 
 me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O 
 wretched man that I am ! who shall deliver me from the bod)' of 
 this death? Rom. 7: 18-24. 
 
 IMMANUEL, THE REDEEMER. 
 
 Promise of The Messiah. — Who hath believed our report? and to 
 whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? For he shall grow up 
 before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground : he 
 hath no form nor comeliness ; and when we shall see him, there is no 
 beauty that we should desire him. He is despised and rejected of 
 men ; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it 
 were our faces from him ; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. 
 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did 
 esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was 
 
BTBLF. HISTORY AND ANALYSIS. 
 
 wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities : the 
 chastisement of our peace was upon him ; and with his stripes we are 
 healed. All we like sheep have gone astray ; we have turned every 
 one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of 
 ns all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not 
 his mouth : he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep 
 before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. He was 
 taken from prison and from judgment : and who shall declare his 
 generation ? For he was cut off out of the land of the living : for 
 the transgression of my people was he stricken. . . . And he was 
 numbered with the transgressors ; and he bare the sin of many, and 
 made intercession for the transgressors. Isa. 53: 1-8, 12. 
 
 Birth of Our Saviour. — And there were in the same country 
 shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by 
 night. And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the 
 glory of the Lord shone round about them ; and they were sore 
 afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not : for, behold, I 
 bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 
 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which 
 is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you ; Ye shall find 
 the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And 
 suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host 
 praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth 
 peace, good will toward men. Luke 2 : 8-14. 
 
 REDEMPTION AND RECONCILIATION. 
 
 The Secono Birth. — Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, 
 verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see 
 the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man 
 be born when he is old ? can he enter the second time into his 
 mother's womb, and be born ? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say 
 unto thee, Except a man be born of water, and of the Spirit, he 
 cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the 
 flesh is flesh ; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel 
 not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth 
 where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell 
 whence it cometh, and whither it goeth : so is every one that is born 
 of the Spirit. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, 
 even so must the Son of man be lifted up : that whosoever believeth 
 in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so 
 loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten Son, that whosoever 
 believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For 
 God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world ; but that 
 the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him 
 is not condemned : but he that believeth not is condemned already, 
 because he hath not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son 
 of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the 
 world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds 
 A^ere evil. John 3 : 3-8, 14-19. 
 
 Way of Salvation. — Jesus saith nnto him, I am the way, the 
 truth, and the life : no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 
 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works 
 that I do shall he do also ; and greater works than these shall he do ; 
 because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my 
 name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 
 John 14 : 6, 12, 13. 
 
 Lamb of God. — The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, 
 and saith. Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of 
 the world ! I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, 
 and it abode upon him. And I knew him not : but he that sent me 
 to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt 
 see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he 
 which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. And I saw, and bare record 
 that this is the Son of God. John 1 : 29, 32-34. 
 
 A Saviour Omnipotent. — The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, 
 whom ye slew and hanged on a tree. Him hath God exalted with his 
 right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to 
 Israel, and forgiveness of sins. Acts 5 : 30, 31. 
 
 Our Ransom. — The Son of man came not to be ministered unto, 
 but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. Matt. 
 20 : 28. 
 
 Captain of our Salvation. — We see Jesus, who was made a little 
 lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory 
 and honor ; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every 
 man. For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom 
 are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the cap- 
 
 tain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. For both 1 that 
 sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one : For which 
 cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren. Forasmuch then 
 as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself 
 likewise took part of the same ; that through death he might destroy 
 him that had the power of death, that is, the devil ; and deliver 
 them, who through fear of death were all their lile-time subject to 
 bondage. Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like 
 unto his brethren ; that he might be a merciful and faithful high 
 priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins 
 of the people. For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, 
 he is able to succor them that are tempted. Heb. 2 : 9-18. 
 
 Redemption by His Blood. — Christ being come a high priest of good 
 things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made 
 with hands, that is to say, not of this building; neither by the blood 
 of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into 
 the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. For if 
 the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling 
 the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh ; how much 
 more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered 
 himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works 
 to serve the living God ? And for this cause he is the mediator of 
 the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the 
 transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are 
 called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. Heb. 9 : 
 11-15. 
 
 God's Grace. — By grace are ye saved through faith; and that not 
 of yourselves : it is the gift of God. Eph. 2 : 8. 
 
 Servants unto God. — Ye are not your own ; for ye are bought with 
 a price : therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which 
 are his. 1 Cor. 6 : 20. 
 
 Gift of Faith. — Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into 
 the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way, which he 
 hath consecrated for us, through the vail, that is to say, his flesh ; 
 and having a high priest over the house of God ; 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. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without 
 wavering; for he is faithful that promised. Heb. 10: 19—23. 
 
 Jesus Our Advocate. — And if any man sin, we have an advocate 
 with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous : and he is the propitia- 
 tion for our sins : and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the 
 whole world. 1 John 2: 1, 2. 
 
 Alive in Faith. — Knowing that a man is not justified by the works 
 of the law, but by the . faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed 
 in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and 
 not by the works of the law : for by the works of the law shall no 
 flesh be justified. But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we 
 ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of 
 For if I build again the things which I destroyed, 
 transgressor. For I through the law am dead to 
 the law, that I might live unto God. I am crucified with Christ : 
 nevertheless I live ; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me : and the life 
 which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, 
 who loved me, and gave himself for me. Gal. 2 : 16-20. 
 
 Peace by Faith. — Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace 
 with God through our Lord Jesus Christ : by whom also we have 
 access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope 
 of the glory of God. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations 
 also ; knowing that tribulation worketh patience ; and patience, 
 experience ; and experience, hope : and hope maketh not ashamed ; 
 because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy 
 Ghost which is given unto us. Rom. 5 : 1-5. 
 
 Heirship with Christ. — There is therefore no condemnation to 
 them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but 
 after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus 
 hath made me free from the law of sin and death. Therefore, 
 brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. 
 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the 
 Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many 
 as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye 
 have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have 
 received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The 
 Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children 
 of God : and if children, then heirs ; heirs of God, and joint heirs 
 with Christ ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also 
 glorified together. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present 
 
 sin? God forbid.

 time arc not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be 
 revealed in us. Rom. 8: i, 2, 12-18. 
 
 REPENTANCE. 
 
 Thy Fall Repent. — Remember therefore from whence thou art 
 fallen, and repent. Rev. 2: 5. 
 
 Mercy for Sinners. — Go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will 
 have mercy, and not sacrifice : for I am not come to call the righteous, 
 hit sinners to repentance. Matt. 9 : 13. 
 
 Penitence by the Spirit. — And I will pour upon the house of 
 David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace 
 and of supplications- and they shall look upon me whom they have 
 pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only 
 ton, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for 
 his first born. 7ech. 12: 10. 
 
 Sorrow of the Soul. — Godly sorrow worketh repentance to salva- 
 tion not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh 
 death. 2 Cor. 7 : to. 
 
 Compassion of God. — The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, 
 as some men count slackness; but is long-suffering to us-ward, not 
 willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repent- 
 ance. 2 Pet. 3 : 9. 
 
 His Long Suffering.— Despisest thou the riches of his goodness 
 and forbearance and long-suffering ; not knowing that the goodness 
 of God leadeth thee to repentance? Rom. 2: 4. 
 
 The Redeemer Calleth. — As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten : 
 be zealous therefore, and repent. Behold, I stand at the door, and 
 knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come 
 in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. Rev. 3 : 19, 20. 
 
 Now. — Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day 
 of salvation. 2 Cor. 6 : 2. 
 
 The Heart Answereth. — What prayer and supplication soever be 
 made by any man, or by all thy people Israel, which shall know every 
 man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward 
 tids house : then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling-place, and forgive, 
 and do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart 
 thou knowest ; (Tor thou, even thou only, knowest the hearts of all the 
 children of men.) 1 Kings 8: 38, 39. 
 
 How to be Saved. — Now when they heard this, they were pricked 
 in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men 
 and brethren, what shall we do? Then Peter said unto them, Re- 
 pent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ 
 for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy 
 Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to 
 all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. 
 Acts 2 : 37-39. 
 
 Sinners Besought. — I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in 
 heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and 
 nine just persons, which need no repentance. Luke 15 : 7. 
 
 The Prodigal Welcomed. — And he arose, and came to his father. 
 But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had 
 compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. And 
 the son said unto him, Father, 1 have sinned against Heaven, and in 
 thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. 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 : and bring 
 hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry: for 
 this my son was dead, and is alive again ; he was lost, and is found. 
 Luke 15 : 20-24. 
 
 The True Prayer. — And the publican, standing afar off, would not 
 lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, 
 saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. I tell you, this man went 
 down to his house justified rather than the other : for every one that 
 exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall 
 be exalted. Luke 18: 13, 14. 
 
 Life Everlasting Given. — Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and 
 followed thee. And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, 
 There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or 
 wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake, who shall not 
 receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come 
 life everlasting. LukeiS: 28-30. 
 
 Fruits. — Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance. Matt. 
 3: 8. 
 
 Joy of the Righteous. — Blessed is he whose transgression is for- 
 given, -whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man unto whom the 
 Lord imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there zs no guile. 
 
 I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. 
 I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord; and thou 
 forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Sclah. Many sorrows shall be to 
 the wicked : but he that trusteth in the Lord, mercy shall compass 
 him about. Be glad in the Loud, and rejoice, ye righteous: and 
 shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart. Psa. 32 : 1,2,5,10, 11.

 THE MESSIAH. 
 
 Testimony of Jesus. — I know that Messias cometh, which is called 
 Christ : when he is come, he will tell us all things. Jesus saith unto 
 her, 1 that speak unto thee am he. John 4: 25, 26. 
 
 The Holy One. — Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which 
 was made of the seed of David according to the flesh ; and declared to 
 be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by 
 the resurrection from the dead. Rom. 1 : 3, 4. 
 
 THE MEDIATOR. 
 
 Jesus the Ransom. — There is one God, and one mediator between 
 God and men, the man Christ Jesus ; who gave himself a ransom for 
 all, to be testified in due time. 1 Tim. 2 : 5,6. 
 
 Immanuel. — And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, 
 (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the 
 Father,) full of grace and truth. John 1 : 14.

 CHRIST IS GOD. 
 
 Son of God. — The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son 
 of God. Mark 1:1. 
 
 Word of God. — In the beginning was the Word, and the Word 
 was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the begin- 
 ning with God. All things were made by him ; and without him was 
 not any thing made that was made. In him was life ; and the life 
 
 was the light of men. 
 
 And the light shineth in darkness ; and the 
 
 darkness comprehended it not. He was in the world, and the world 
 was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his 
 own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, 
 to them gave he power to become the Sons of God, even to them that 
 believe on his name : which were born, not of blood, nor of the will 
 of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. John 1 : 1-4, 10-13. 
 
 In the Father. — No man hath seen God at any time; the only 
 begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared 
 him. John 1:18. 
 
 Image of God. — God, who at sundry times and in divers manners 
 spake in times past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these 
 last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of 
 all things, by whom also he made the worlds ; who being the bright- 
 ness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding 
 all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged 
 our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high ; being 
 made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance 
 obtained a more excellent name than they. Unto the Son he saith, 
 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever : a sceptre of righteousness 
 is the sceptre of thy kingdom. And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning 
 hast laid the foundation of the earth ; and the heavens are the works 
 of thine hands. They shall perish, but thou remainest : and they all 
 shall wax old as doth a garment ; and as a vesture shalt thou fold them 
 up, and they shall be changed : but thou art the same, and thy years 
 shall not fail. But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on 
 my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool ? Heb. 1 : 
 1-4, 8, 10-13. 
 
 Prince of Peace. — Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given : 
 and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shaU 
 be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting 
 Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government

 his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with 
 justice from henceforth even for ever. Isa. 9 : 6, 7. 
 
 Wisdom of God. — We speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even 
 the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our 
 glory ; which none of the princes of this world knew : for had they 
 known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 1 Cor. 
 2: 7, 8. 
 
 King of Glory. — Lift up your heads, O ye gates ; and be ye lifted up, 
 ye everlasting doors ; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is 
 this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty 
 in battle. . . The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.

 Equal with God. — Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, 
 thought it not robbery to be equal with God. Phil. 2 : 6. 
 
 The Holy Lord. — I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high 
 and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. Above it stood the 
 seraphim : each one had six wings ; with twain he covered his face, 
 and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. And 
 one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of 
 hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. Isa. 6: 1-3. . . These 
 things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him. John 
 12: 41. 
 
 David's Lord. — Jesus asked them, saying, What think ye of Christ? 
 whose son is he ? They say unto him, The son of David. He saith 
 unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying, 
 The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I 
 make thine enemies thy footstool ? If David then call him Lord, 
 how is he his son? And no man was able to answer him a word. 
 Matt. 22 : 41-46. 
 
 The Lord God.— OZion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up 
 into the high mountain. O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, 
 11ft up thy voice with strength ; lift it up, be not afraid ; say unto 
 ine cities of Judah, Behold your God ! Behold, the Lord God will 
 -;ome with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him : behold, his 
 .•eward is with him, and his work before him. He shall feed his flock 
 like a shepherd : he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry 
 them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young. 
 Isa. 40: 9-1 1. . . . Our Lord Jesus, that great ' Shepherd of the 
 sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant. Heb. 13 : 20. 
 
 Head of the Church. — His dear Son, in whom we have redemption 
 through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins : who is the image of 
 the invisible God, the first-born of every creature : for by him were 
 all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible 
 and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, 
 or powers : all things were created by him, and for him : and he is 
 before all things, and by him all things consist. And he is the head 
 of the body, the church: Who is the beginning, the first-born from 
 the dead ; that in all things he might have the pre-eminence. Col. 
 1 : 14-18. 
 
 Salvation of 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 delight in : behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts. 
 Mai. 3 : 1. And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name 
 was Simeon ; and t; .e same man was just and devout, waiting for the 
 consolation of Israel : and the Holy Ghost was upon him. And it 
 was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see 
 death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ. And he came by the 
 Spirit into the temple : and when the parents brought in the child 
 Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law, then took he him 
 up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, Lord, now lettest thou 
 thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word : for mine eyes 
 have seen thy salvation. Luke 2 : 25—30. 
 
 The Great God. — I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and 
 will save them by the Lord their God. Hos. 1 : 7. Looking for 
 that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and 
 our Saviour Jesus Christ. Tit. 2 : 13. 
 
 The True God. — The Lord is the true God, he is the living God, 
 and an everlasting King. Jer. 10 : 10. And we know that the Son 
 of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may 
 know him that is true ; and we are in him that is tme, even in his 
 
 This is the true God, and eternal life. 1 John 
 
 Son Jesus Christ. 
 5 : 20. 
 
 Our Judge. — For God shall bring every work into judgment, with 
 every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. Eccl. 
 12: 14. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ ; 
 that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to 
 that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. 2 Cor. 5 : 10. 
 
 Lord of the Sabbath. — And God blessed the seventh day, and 
 sanctified it : because that in it he had rested from all his work which 
 God created and made. Gen. 2 : 3. The Son of man is Lord even 
 of the sabbath-day. Matt. 12: 8. 
 
 Lord of All. — The word which God sent unto the children of 
 Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all.) Acts 
 10: 36. 
 
 The True Witness. — And the high priest answered and said unto 
 him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou 
 be the Christ, the Son of God. Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said : 
 nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man 
 sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of 
 heaven. Matt. 26: 63, 64. 
 
 Only-Begotten Son. — He that believeth on him, is not con- 
 demned : but he that believeth not is condemned already, because 
 he hath not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God. 
 John 3: 18. 
 
 Owner of All. — All things that the Father hath are mine. John 
 16: 15. 
 
 One with the Father. — I and my Father are one. John 10 : 30. 
 
 Shows the Father. — He that hath seen me, hath seen the Father. 
 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? 
 John 14 : 9, 10. 
 
 Gives the Spirit. — When the Comforter is come, whom I will send 
 unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth 
 from the Father, he shall testify of me. John 15 : 26. 
 
 Fulness of the Godhead. — In him dwelleth all the fulness of the 
 Godhead bodily. Col. 2 : 9. 
 
 Honored as God. — Jesus answered them, My Father worketh 
 hitherto, and I work. Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill 
 him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also, that 
 God was his Father, making himself equal with God. . . . For 
 the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto 
 the Son : that all men should honor the Son, even as they honor the 
 Father. He that honoreth not the Son, honoreth not the Father 
 which hath sent him. John 5 : 17, 18, 22, 23. 
 
 God in the Flesh. — And without controversy, great is the mystery 
 of godliness : God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, 
 seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, 
 received up into glory. 1 Tim. 3 : 16. 
 
 Forgives Sin. — When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick 
 of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee. But there were certain 
 of the Scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, Why doth 
 this man thus speak blasphemies ? who can forgive sins but God only ? 
 Mark 2 : 5-7. 
 
 God of the Earth. — For thy Maker is thy husband ; the Lord of 
 hosts is his name ; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel : . The 
 God of the whole earth shall he be called. Isa. 54 : 5. 
 
 God of Saints.— And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and 
 saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. Acts 7 : 59. 
 
 The Lamb Immortal. — And every creature which is in heaven, and 
 on the earth, and unde.r the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all 
 that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honor, and glory, and 
 power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb, 
 for ever and ever. And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four 
 and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever 
 and ever. Rev. 5 : 13, 14. 
 
 The Faithful Son. — Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish 
 from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all 
 they that put their trust in him. Psa. 2: 12. 
 
 Builder of the Church. — He saith unto them, But whom say ye that 
 I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, 
 the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, 
 Blessed art thou, Simon-Bar-jona : for flesh and blood hath noi 
 revealed //unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say 
 also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build 
 my church ; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Matt. 
 16: 15-18. 
 
 Our Lord and God. — And Thomas answered and said unto him, 
 My Lord and my God. Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou

 hast seen me, thou hast believed : blessed are they that have not seen, 
 and yet have believed. John 20 : 28, 29. 
 
 Conqueror of Death. — And I turned to see the voice that spake 
 with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks ; and 
 in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, 
 clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps 
 with a golden girdle. His head and his hairs were white like wool, 
 as white as snow ; and his eyes were as a flame of fire ; and his feet 
 like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace ; and his voice as 
 the sound of many waters. And he had in his right hand seven 
 stars : and out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword : and his 
 countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength. And when I 
 saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon 
 me, saying unto me, Fear not ; I am the first and the last : / am he 
 that liveth, and was dead ; and behold, I am alive for evermore, 
 Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. Write the things 
 which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which 
 shall be hereafter. Rev. 1: 12-19. 
 
 THE PROPHET. 
 
 Like Moses. — The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet 
 from the midst of thee, of thy brethren like unto me ; unto him ye 
 shall hearken. I will put my words in his mouth ; and he shall speak 
 unto them all that I shall command him. Deut. 18 : 15, 18. 
 
 Of Good Tidings. — Behold, upon the mountains the feet of him 
 that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace. Nah. 1 : 15. 
 
 Upheld of God. — Behold, my servant whom I uphold ; mine elect, 
 in whom my soul delighteth ; I have put my Spirit upon him : he 
 shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. Isa. 42 : 1. 
 
 Reveals the Father. — All things are delivered unto me of my 
 Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither 
 knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever 
 the Son will reveal him. Matt. 11: 27. 
 
 Speaks Spiritual Truth — Then said they unto him, Who art thou? 
 And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from 
 the beginning. I have many things to say and to judge of you : 
 but he that sent me is true ; and I speak to the world those things 
 which I have heard of him. John 8 : 25, 26. 
 
 Preaches to All. — I must preach the kingdom of God to other 
 cities also : for therefore am t sent. Luke 4 : 43. 
 
 His World-wide Gospel. — And this gospel of the kingdom shall 
 be preached in all the world, for a witness unto all nations ; and then 
 shall the end come. Matt. 24: 14. 
 
 The Faithful Amen. — These things saith the Amen, the faithful 
 and true Witness, the beginning of the creation of God. Rev. 3 : 14. 
 
 Holy One of God. — And there was in their synagogue a man with 
 an unclean spirit ; and he cried out saying, Let us alone ; what have 
 we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth ? art thou come to destroy 
 us ? I know thee who thou art, the holy one of God. And Jesus 
 rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And 
 when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, 
 he came out of him. And they were all amazed, insomuch that they 
 questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this ? what new 
 doctrine is this ? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean 
 spirits, and they do obey him. And immediately his fame spread 
 abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee. Mark 1 : 
 23-28. 
 
 Refiner of Souls. — And it shall come to pass, that every soul which 
 will not hear that Prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people. 
 Acts 3 : 23. 
 
 THE SHEPHERD. 
 
 Of Israel. — His bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands 
 were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob : (from 
 thence is the Shepherd, the Stone of Israel.) Gen. 49 : 24. 
 
 Lover of Lambs. — He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he 
 shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, 
 and shall gently lead those that are with young. Isa. 40: n. 
 
 The Good Shepherd. — I am the good shepherd : the good shepherd 
 giveth his life for the sheep. I am the good shepherd, and know my 
 sheep, and am known of mine. John 10: n, 14. 
 
 Gives Eternal Life. — My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, 
 and they follow me: and I give unto them eternal life. John 10: 
 27, 28. 
 
 Leads to Righteousness. — The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not 
 want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures : he leadeth me 
 4 
 
 beside the still waters. He restorcth my soul : he leadeth me in the 
 paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Psa. 23 : 1-3. 
 
 THE HIGH PRIEST. 
 
 Faithful to God. — Consider the Apostle and High Priest of our 
 profession, Christ Jesus ; who was faithful to him that appointed 
 him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house. Heb. 3: 1, 2. 
 
 Called Forever. — And no man taketh this honor unto himself, but 
 he that is called of God, as was Aaron. So also Christ glorified not 
 himself to be made a high priest ; but he that said unto him, Thou 
 art my son, to-day have I begotten thee. As he saith also in another 
 place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. 
 Heb. 5 : 4-6. 
 
 A Spiritual Order. — If therefore perfection were by the Levitical 
 priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further 
 need was there that another priest should rise after the order of 
 Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron ? After the 
 similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest, who is made 
 not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an 
 endless life. By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better 
 testament. Heb. 7: n, 15, 16, 22. 
 
 Eternal Intercessor. — This man, because he continueth ever, hath 
 an unchangeable priesthood. Wherefore he is able also to save them 
 unto the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth 
 to make intercession for them. For such a high priest became us, 
 who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made 
 higher than the heavens ; who needeth not daily, as those high 
 priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the 
 people's : for this he did once, when he offered up himself. Heb. 
 7 : 24.-27. 
 
 The True Minister. — Now of the things which we have spoken, 
 this is the sum : We have sucii a high priest, who is set on the right 
 hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens ; a minister of the 
 sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and 
 not man. Heb. 8: 1, 2. 
 
 HEAD OF THE CHURCH. 
 
 Chosen of God. — The stone which the builders refused is become 
 the head stone of the corner. This is the Lord's doing; it is mar- 
 vellous in our eyes. Psa. 118: 22, 23. 
 
 Over All. — And hath put all tilings under his feet, and gave him 
 to be the head over all tilings to the church, which is his body, the 
 fulness of him that filleth all in all. Eph. 1 : 22, 23. 
 
 Our Saviour. — Christ is the head of the church; and he is the 
 Saviour of the body. Eph. 5 : 23. 
 
 God his Head. — I would have you 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. 1 Cor. n : 3. 
 
 The Almighty Helper. — And Jesus came, and spake unto them, 
 saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye 
 therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the 
 Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost : teaching them to 
 observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you : and lo, I am 
 with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Matt. 28 : 18-20. 
 
 Perfection of Saints. — In him dwelleth all the fulness of the 
 Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head 
 of all principality and power. Col. 2 : 9, 10. 
 
 THE KING. 
 
 Sceptre of Israel. — 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. Num. 24: 17. 
 
 Mighty in Righteousness. — My heart is inditing a good matter: 
 I speak of the things which I have made touching the King : my 
 tongue is the pen of a ready writer. Thou art fairer than the 
 children of men : grace is poured into thy lips : therefore God hath 
 blessed thee for ever. Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most 
 Mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty. And in thy majesty ride 
 prosperously, because of truth and meekness and righteousness ; and 
 thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things. Thine arrows are 
 sharp in the heart of the King's enemies; wlicrchy the people fall 
 under thee. Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever : the sceptre 
 of thy kingdom is a right sceptre. Psa. 45 : 1-6. 
 
 King of Israel. — On the next day much people that were come to

 the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, took 
 branches of palm-trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried 
 Hosanna : Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of 
 the Lord. And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon ; 
 as it is written, Fear not, daughter of Zion : behold, thy King 
 cometh, sitting on an ass's colt. These things understood not his 
 disciples at the first : but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered 
 they that these things were written of him, and that they had done 
 these things unto him. John 12: 12-16. 
 
 King of Kings. — Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the 
 first-begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. 
 Rev. 1 : 5. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name 
 written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. Rev. 
 19: 16. 
 
 An Everlasting Kingdom. — And in the days of these kings shall 
 the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed : 
 and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break 
 in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. 
 Dan. 2 : 44. 
 
 A Ruler Forever. — I saw in the night visions, and behold, one like 
 the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the 
 Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. And there 
 was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, 
 nations, and languages, should serve him : his dominion is an ever- 
 lasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that 
 which shall not be destroyed. Dan. 7: 13, 14. 
 
 Lord of the Earth. — And the Lord shall be King over all the 
 earth : in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one. 
 Zech. 14: 9. 
 
 Kingdom of the Holy Ghost. — The kingdom of God is not meat 
 and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. 
 Rom. 14: 17. 
 
 Spiritual Dominion. — Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this 
 world : if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants 
 fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my 
 kingdom not from hence. Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou 
 a king then ? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To 
 this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I 
 should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth 
 heareth my voice. John 18: 36, 37. 
 
 Faithfulness Rewarded. — To him that overcometh will I grant to 
 sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down 
 with my Father in his throne. Rev. 3 : 21. 
 
 Served with Reverence. — Wherefore we receiving a kingdom 
 which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve 
 God acceptably, with reverence and godly fear. Heb. 12 : 28. 
 
 King of the Jews. — And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the 
 cross. And the writing was, JESUS 
 KING OF THE JEWS. John 19 : 19. 
 
 To Reign Forever. — And the seventh 
 were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are 
 become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ ; and he shall 
 reign for ever and ever. Rev. 11 : 15.

 Son of God. — I will declare the decree : the Lord hath said unto 
 rne, Thou art my Son ; this day have I begotten thee. Psa. 2 : 7. 
 
 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest ; and 
 the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his Father David. 
 . . . The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the 
 Highest shall overshadow thee : therefore also'that holy thing which 
 shall be born of thee, shall be called the Son of God. Luke 1 : 
 
 3 2 > 35- 
 
 Seed of the Woman. — And I will put enmity between thee and 
 
 the woman, and between thy seed and her seed : it shall bruise thy 
 
 head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. Gen. 3 : 15. 
 
 When the fulness of time was come, God sent forth his Son, made 
 of a woman, made under the law, to redeem them that were under 
 the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. Gal. 4: 4, 5. 
 
 Seed of Abraham. — And I will establish my covenant between me 
 and thee, and thy seed after thee, in their generations, for an ever- 
 lasting covenant ; to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee. 
 Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, 
 Shall a child be born unto him that is a hundred years old ? and shall 
 Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear? Gen. 17 : 7, 17. 
 
 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith 
 
 not, And to seeds, as of many ; but as of one, And to thy seed, which 
 is Christ. Gal. 3 : 16. 
 
 Seed of Isaac. — And God sajd unto 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 unto thee, hearken unto her 
 voice : for in Isaac shall thy seed be called. Gen. 21 : 12. 
 
 By faith, Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac : and he 
 that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, of 
 whom it Avas said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called : accounting 
 that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead ; from whence 
 also he received him in a figure. Heb. 11 : 17-19. 
 
 Seed of David. — And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem 
 of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots. Isa. 11: 1. The 
 Lord hath sworn in truth unto David ; he will not turn from it ; Of 
 the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne. Psa. 132: 11. 
 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that 1 will raise unto David 
 a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall 
 execute judgment and justice in the earth. Jer. 23 : 5. 
 
 He raised up unto them David to be their king ; to whom also he 
 gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man 
 after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will. Of this man's 
 seed hath God, according to his promise, raised unto Israel a Saviour, 
 Jesus. Acts 13 : 22, 23. Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, 
 which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh ; and 
 declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit 
 of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead. Rom. 1 : 3, 4. 
 
 Time of Coming. — The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a 
 lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come : and unto him 
 shall the gathering of the people be. Gen. 49 : 10. Seventy weeks 
 are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the 
 transgression, and to make an end 'of sins, and to make reconcilia- 
 tion for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to 
 seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy. 
 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the 
 commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah 
 the Prince shall be seven weeks, and three-score and two weeks : the 
 street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. 
 Dan. 9 : 24, 25. 
 
 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree 
 from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. And this 
 taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria. Luke 
 2 : 1,2. 
 
 Born of a Virgin. — Therefore the Lord himself shall give, you a 
 sign ; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call 
 his name Immanuel. Isa. 7 : 14. 
 
 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise : When as his mother 
 Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found 
 with child of the Holy Ghost. . . . And she shall bring forth a 
 son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS : for he shall save his peo- 
 ple from their sins. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled 
 which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a 
 virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall 
 call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. 
 Matt 1 : 18, 21-23. 
 
 Born in Bethlehem. — But thou, Beth-lehem Ephratah, though thou 
 be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come 
 forth unto me that is to be Ruler in Israel; whose goings forth hat- 
 been from of old, from everlasting. Mic. 5 : 2. 
 
 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And 
 Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into 
 Judea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, (because 
 he was of the house and lineage of David,) to be taxed with Mary 
 his espoused wife, being great with child. And so it was, that while 
 they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be 
 delivered. And she brought forth her first-born son. Luke 2 : 3-7. 
 
 Adoration of the Magi. — The kings of Tarshish and of the isles 
 shall bring presents : the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts. 
 Psa. 72 : 10. 
 
 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of 
 Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to 
 Jerusalem, saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for 
 we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. 
 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and 
 all Jerusalem with him. Then Herod, when he had privily called 
 the wise men, inquired of them diligently what time the star 
 appeared. And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go, and 
 search diligently for the young child ; and when ye have found him.

 bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also. When 
 they had heard the king, they departed ; and lo, the star, which they 
 saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where 
 the young child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with 
 exceeding great joy. And when they were come into the house, 
 they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and 
 worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they 
 presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. 
 Matt. 2 : 1-3, 7— 11. 
 
 Murder of the Innocents. — Thus saith the LORD ; A voice was 
 heard in Ramah, lamentation and bitter weeping ; Rachel weeping 
 for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because 
 they were not. Jer. 31 : 15. 
 
 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, 
 was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that 
 were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old 
 and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired 
 of the wise men. Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by 
 Jeremy the prophet. Matt. 2: 16, 17. 
 
 Called out of Egypt. — When Israel was a child, then I loved him, 
 and called my son out of Egypt. Hos. n : 1. 
 
 Behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, 
 saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into 
 Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word : for Herod will 
 seek the young child to destroy him. When he arose, he took the 
 young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt : and 
 was there until the death of Herod : that it might be fulfilled which 
 was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have 
 I called my Son. Matt. 2 : 13-15. 
 
 His Forerunner. — The vofce of him that crieth in the wilderness, 
 Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a high- 
 way for our God. Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain 
 and hill shall be made low : and the crooked shall be made straight, 
 and the rough places plain : and the glory of the Lord shall be 
 revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the 
 Lord hath spoken it. Isa. 40: 3-5. Behold, I will send my 
 messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me. Mai. 3 : 1. 
 
 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness 
 of Judea, and saying, Repent ye ; for the kingdom of heaven is at 
 hand. For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, 
 saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the 
 way of the Lord, make his paths straight. Matt. 3 : 1-3. And he 
 shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts 
 of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of 
 the just ; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord. Luke 1:17. 
 
 Holy Spirit Indwelling. — Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest 
 wickedness : therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil 
 of gladness above thy fellows. Psa. 45 : 7. And the Spirit of the 
 Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, 
 the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the 
 fear of the Lord ; and shall make him of quick understanding in 
 the fear of the Lord : and he shall not judge after the sight of his 
 eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears : but with 
 righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for 
 the meek of the earth. Isa. 1 1 : 2-4. 
 
 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the 
 water : and lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the 
 Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him : and 
 lo, a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I 
 am well pleased. Matt. 3: 16, 17. For he whom God hath sent 
 speaketh the words of God : for God giveth not the Spirit by measure 
 unto him. John 3 : 34. That word, 7" say, ye know, which was 
 published throughout all Judea, and began from Galilee, after the 
 baptism which John preached; how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth 
 with the Holy Ghost and with power : who went about doing good, 
 and healing all that were oppressed of the devil ; for God was with 
 him. Acts 10 : 37, 38. 
 
 Prophet Like Moses. — -The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee 
 a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me ; 
 unto him ye shall hearken ; according to all that thou desiredst of 
 the Lord thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let 
 me not hear again the voice of the Lord my God, neither let me see 
 this great fire any more, that I die not. And the Lord said unto 
 me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken. I will raise 
 them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and 
 will put my words in his mouth ; and he shall speak unto them all 
 that I shall command him. Deut. 18 : 15-18. 
 
 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto 
 you : whom the heavens must receive, until the times of restitution 
 of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy 
 prophets since the world began. For Moses truly said unto the 
 fathers, A Prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you, of 
 your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things, 
 whatsoever he shall say unto you. Acts 3 : 20-22. 
 
 Priest Like Melchisedek. — The Lord hath sworn, and will not 
 repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedek. 
 Psa. no : 4. 
 
 Christ glorified not himself to be made a high priest ; but he that 
 said unto him, Thou art my Son, to-day have I begotten thee. As he 
 saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order 
 of Melchisedec. Heb. 5 : 5,6. 
 
 First Ministry. — The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me ; because 
 the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek ; 
 he hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty 
 to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are 
 bound ; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day 
 of vengeance of our God ; to comfort all that mourn. Isa. 61 : 1,2. 
 
 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up : and, as 
 his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath-day, and 
 stood up for to read. And there was delivered unto him the book 
 of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found 
 the place where it was written, The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, 
 because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor, he 
 hath sent me to heal the broken-hearted, to preach deliverance to 
 the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty 
 them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord. 
 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and 
 sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue 
 were fastened on him. And he began to say unto them, This day is 
 this Scripture fulfilled in your ears. And all bare him witness, and 
 wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. 
 Luke 4 : 16-22. 
 
 Beginning in Galilee. — Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such 
 as was in her vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land 
 of Zebulun, and the land of Naphtali ; and afterward did more 
 grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordon, in 
 Galilee of the nations. The people that walked in darkness have 
 seen a great light : they that dwell in the land of the shadow of 
 death, upon them hath the light shined. Isa. 9 : 1,2. 
 
 Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he 
 departed into Galilee ; and leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in 
 Capernaum, which is upon the sea-coast, in the borders of Zabulon 
 and Nephthalim : that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by 
 Esaias the prophet, saying, The land of Zabulon, and the land of 
 Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the 
 Gentiles : the people which sat in darkness, saw great light ; and to 
 them which sat in the region and shadow of death, light is sprung up. 
 . . . And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, 
 and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of 
 sickness, and all manner of disease among the people. Matt. 4 : 
 12-16, 23. 
 
 Coming to the Temple. — And I will shake all nations, and the 
 Desire of all nations shall come : and I will fill this house with glory, 
 saith the Lord of hosts. The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, 
 saith the Lord of hosts. The glory of this latter house shall be 
 greater than of the former, saith the Lord of hosts : and in this 
 place will I give peace, saith the Lord of hosts. Hag. 2 : 7. 
 
 And he came by the Spirit into the temple : and when the parents 
 brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law, 
 then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, Lord, 
 now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word : 
 for mine eyes have seen thy salvation, which thou hast prepared before 
 the face of all people; a light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory 
 of thy people Israel. And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those 
 things which were spoken of him. Luke 2 : 27-33. 
 
 And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jeru- 
 salem, and found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and 
 doves, and the changers of money sitting : and when he had made 
 a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the 
 sheep, and the oxen ; and poured out the changers' money, and 
 overthrew the tables ; and said unto them that sold doves, Take 
 these things hence : make not my Father's house a house of mer- 
 chandise. And his disciples remembered that it was written, The 
 zeal of thine house hath eaten me up. John 2 : 13-17.

 BIBLE HISTORY AND ANALYSIS. 
 
 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple ; and he 
 healed them. And when the chief priests and scribes saw the won- 
 derful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and 
 saying, Hosanna to the Son of David ; they were sore displeased, 
 and said unto him, Hcarest thou what these say? And Jesus saith 
 unto them, Yea, have ye never read, Out of the mouths of babes and 
 sucklings thou hast perfected praise? Matt. 21 : 14-16. 
 
 His Poverty. — He shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and 
 as a root out of a dry ground : he hath no form nor comeliness; and 
 when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. 
 He is despised and rejected of men ; a man of sorrows, and ac- 
 quainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he 
 was despised, and we esteemed him not. Isa. 53 : 2, 3. 
 
 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, 
 and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here 
 with us? And they were offended at him. Mark 6 : 3. 
 
 And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air 
 have nests ; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. 
 Luke 9 : 58. 
 
 His Meekness. — He shall not cry, nor lift np, nor cause his voice 
 to be heard in the street. A bruised reed shall he not break, and 
 the smoking flax shall he not quench. Isa. 42 : 2, 3. 
 
 When Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence ; and great 
 multitudes followed him, and he healed them all; and charged 
 them that they should not make him known : that it might be 
 fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, He shall 
 not strive, nor cry ; neither shall any man hear his voice in the 
 streets. Matt. 12: 15-17, 19. 
 
 His Loving-kindness. — He shall feed his flock like a shepherd : 
 he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, 
 and shall gently lead those that are with young. Isa. 40: 11. A 
 bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not 
 quench. Isa. 42 : 3. 
 
 And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that 
 were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils. And all 
 the city was gathered together at the door. And he healed many 
 that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils. . . And 
 there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to 
 him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. 
 And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched 
 him, and saith unto him, I will ; be thou clean. And as soon as he 
 had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was 
 cleansed. Mark 1 : 32-34, 40-42. 
 
 Without Guile. — He had done no violence, neither was any deceit 
 in his mouth. Isa. 53: 9. 
 
 We have not a high priest which cannot be touched with the feel- 
 ing of our infirmities ; but was in all points tempted like as we are, 
 yet without sin. Heb. 4: 15. Who did no sin, neither was guile 
 found in his mouth : who, when he was reviled, reviled not again ; 
 when he suffered, he threatened not ; but committeth himself to him 
 that judgeth righteously. 1 Pet. 2 : 22, 23. 
 
 Zealous. — For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up. Psa. 
 69: 9. 
 
 And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of 
 thine house hath eaten me up. John 2 : 17. 
 
 Speaking in Parables. — I will open my mouth in a parable : I will 
 utter dark sayings of old. Psa. 78 : 2. 
 
 All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables ; and 
 without a parable spake he not unto them : that it might be fulfilled 
 which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in 
 parables ; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the 
 foundation of the world. Matt. 13 : 34, 35. 
 
 Working Miracles. — Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, 
 and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then shall the lame 
 man leap as a hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing. Isa. 35 : 5, 6. 
 
 Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those 
 things which ye do hear and see, the blind receive their sight, and 
 the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead 
 are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. And 
 blessed is he whosoever shall not be offended in me. Matt. 11 : 4-6. 
 Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and 
 said, What do we ? for this man doeth many miracles. If we let him 
 thus alone, all men will believe on him : and the Romans shall come 
 and take away both our place and nation. John n : 47, 48. 
 
 Bearing Reproach. — I am a worm, and no man ; a reproach of 
 men, and despised of the people. Psa. 22: 6. Because for thy 
 sake 1 have borne reproach ; shame hath covered my face. And the 
 
 reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me. Re- 
 proach hath broken my heart ; and I am full of heaviness : and I 
 looked for some to take pity, but there was none ; and for comforters, 
 but I found none. Psa. 69 : 7, 9, 20. 
 
 For even Christ pleased not himself; for, as it is written, The 
 reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me. Rom. 15 : 3. 
 
 Rejected by Brethren. — I am become a stranger unto my brethren, 
 and an alien unto my mother's children. Psa. 69 : 8. 
 
 His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into 
 Judea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest. For 
 there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh 
 to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the 
 world. For neither did his brethren believe in him. John 7 : 3-5. 
 
 A Stone of Stumbling. — Sanctify the Lord of hosts himself; and 
 let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. And he shall be for 
 a sanctuary ; but for a stone of stumbling and "for a rock of offence 
 to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhab- 
 itants of Jerusalem. And many among them shall stumble, and fall, 
 and be broken, and be snared, and be taken. Isa. 8 : 13-15. 
 
 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not 
 attained to the law of righteousness. Wherefore? Because they 
 sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For 
 they stumbled at that stumbling stone ; as it is written, Behold, I lay 
 in Sion a stumbling stone, and rock of offence : and whosoever 
 believeth on him shall not be ashamed. Rom. 9 : 31-33. Unto you 
 therefore which believe he is precious : but unto them which be 
 disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is 
 made the head of the corner, and a stone of stumbling, and a rock 
 of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobe- 
 dient, whereunto also they were appointed. 1 Pet. 2 : 7, 8. 
 
 Hated of the Jews. — They that hate me without a cause are more 
 than the hairs of mine head : they that would destroy me, being 
 mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty. Psa. 69 : 4. Thus saith the 
 Lord, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him whom man 
 despiseth, to him whom the nation abhorreth, to a servant of rulers, 
 Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall worship, because of the 
 Lord that is faithful, and the Holy One of Israel, and he shall chuos« 
 thee. Isa. 49 : 7. 
 
 If I had not done among them the works which none other man 
 did, they had not had sin : but now have they both seen, and hated 
 both me and my Father. But this cometh to pass, that the word 
 might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without 
 a cause. John 15 : 24, 25. 
 
 Rejected of the Rulers. — The Stone which the builders refused is 
 become the head stone of the corner. This is the Lord's doing; it 
 is marvellous in our eyes. Psa. 118: 22, 23. 
 
 The officers answered, Never man spake like this man. Then 
 answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived ? Have any of 
 the rulers, or of the Pharisees believed on him. John 7 : 46-48. 
 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the Scriptures, The stone 
 which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the 
 corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? 
 Matt. 21 : 42. 
 
 Jews and Gentiles Conspiring. — Why do the heathen rage, and 
 the people imagine a vain thing ? The kings of the earth set them- 
 selves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and 
 against his Anointed. Psa. 2: 1, 2. 
 
 And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together ; 
 for before they were at enmity between themselves. Luke 23 : 12. 
 Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the 
 sea, and all that in them is; who by the mouth of thy servant David 
 hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain 
 things? The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were 
 gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ. For of a 
 truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both 
 Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of 
 Israel, were gathered together, for to do whatsoever thy hand and 
 thy counsel determined before to be done. Acts 4: 24-28. 
 
 Betrayed by a Friend. — Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom 
 I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against 
 me. Psa. 41 : 9. For it was not an enemy that reproached me; 
 then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did 
 magnify himself against me : then I would have hid myself from 
 him : but it was thou,- a man mine equal, my guide, and mine 
 acquaintance. We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto 
 the house of God in company. Psa. 55 : 12-14. 
 
 I speak not of you all : I know whom I have chosen : but that the

 Scripture may be fulfilled, He that cateth bread with me hath lifted 
 up his heel against me. . . . When Jesus had thus said, he was 
 troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto 
 you, that one of you shall betray me. John 13 : 18, 21. 
 
 Forsaken by Disciples. — Awake, O sword, against my Shepherd, 
 and against the man that is my fellow, saith the Lord of hosts : 
 smite the Shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered : and I will 
 turn mine hand upon the little ones. Zech. 13 : 7. 
 
 Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of 
 me this night : for it is written, I -will smite the Shepherd, and the 
 sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad. Matt. 26 : 31. 
 
 Sold for Thirty Silver Pieces. — And I said unto them, If ye think 
 good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for 
 my price thirty pieces of silver. Zech. 11 : 12. 
 
 Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief 
 priests, and said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver 
 him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of 
 silver. And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him. 
 Mitt. 26: 15, 16. 
 
 His Price Cast to the Potter. — And the Lord said unto me, Cast 
 it unto the potter : a goodly price that I was prized at of them. 
 A nd I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in 
 the house of the Lord. Zech. 11: 13. 
 
 Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was 
 condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of 
 silver to the chief priests and elders, saying, 1 haved sinned in that I 
 have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to 
 us? see thou to that. And he cast down the pieces of silver in the 
 temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself. And the chief 
 priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them 
 into the treasury, because it is the price of blood. And they took 
 counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in. 
 Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day. 
 Matt 27: 3-8. 
 
 Intenseness of Suffering. — I am poured out like water, and all my 
 bones are out of joint : my heart is like wax ; it is melted in the 
 midst of my bowels. My strength is dried up like a potsherd ; and 
 my tongue cleaveth to my jaws ; and thou hast brought me into the 
 dust of death. Psa. 22: 14, 15. 
 
 And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled 
 down, and prayed, saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this 
 cup from me : nevertheless, not my will, but thine, be done. And 
 there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. 
 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly : and his sweat was 
 as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground. Luke 
 22: 41-44. 
 
 Smitten for Us. — Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our 
 sorrows : yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and 
 afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised 
 for our iniquities : the chastisement of our peace was upon him ; and 
 with his stripes we are healed. Isa. 53 : 4, 5. And after three score 
 and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself. Dan. 
 9 : 26. 
 
 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to 
 minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. Matt. 20 : 28. 
 
 As a Lamb, Dumb. — He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet 
 he opened not his mouth : he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, 
 and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his 
 mouth. Isa. 53:7. 
 
 And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou 
 nothing? what is it which these witness against thee? But Jesus held 
 his peace. Matt. 26 : 62, 63. And when he was accused of the 
 chief priests and elders, he answered nothing. Then said Pilate 
 unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against 
 thee? And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the 
 governor marvelled greatly. Matt. 27 : 12-14. 
 
 His Cheek Smitten. — They shall smite the Judge of Israel with a 
 rod upon the cheek. Mic. 5 : 1. 
 
 And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the 
 head. Matt 27 : 30. 
 
 Scourged and Spat on. — I gave my back to the smiters, and my 
 cheeks to them that plucked off the hair : I hid not my face from 
 shame and spitting. Isa. 50 : 6. 
 
 And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to 
 buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the servants did 
 strike him with the palms of Jheir hands. Mark 14: 65. Then 
 lilate therefore took Jesus, 3/ic. scourged him. John 19 : 1.

 His Visage Marred. — His visage was so marred more than 
 man, and his form more than the sons of men. Isa. 52: 14. 
 is despised and rejected of men. Isa. 53 : 3. 
 
 Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the 
 purple robe. And Pilate said unto them, Behold the man ! When 
 the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, 
 saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye 
 him, and crucify him ; for I find no fault in him. John 19 : 5,6. 
 
 Piercing of Hands and Feet. — The assembly of the wicked have 
 inclosed me : they pierced my hands and my feet. I may tell all my 
 bones. Psa. 22: 16, 17. 
 
 They crucified him, and two others with him, on either side one, 
 and Jesus in the midst. John 19: 18. But Thomas, one of the 
 twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. The 
 other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. 
 But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of 
 the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust 
 my hand into his side, I will not believe. John 20 : 24, 25. 
 
 Forsaken of God. — My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken 
 me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my 
 roaring? Psa. 22 : 1. 
 
 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, 
 Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani ? that is to say, My God, my God, why 
 hast thou forsaken me ? Matt. 27: 46. 
 
 Scorned of Men. — All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they 
 shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, He trusted on the 
 Lord that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he 
 delighted in him. Psa. 22: 7, 8. 
 
 And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads, and 
 saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three 
 days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the 
 cross. Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes 
 and elders, said, He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be 
 the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we 
 will believe him. He trusted in God ; let him deliver him now, if 
 he will have him : for he said, I am the Son of God. The thieves 
 also which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth. Matt. 
 
 27: 39-44- 
 
 Gall and Vinegar Given. — They gave me also gall for my meat ; 
 and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. Psa. 69 : 21. 
 
 They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall : and when he 
 had tasted thereof, he would not drink. Matt. 27 : 34. 
 
 His Garments Allotted. — They part my garments among them, 
 and cast lots upon my vesture. Psa. 22 : 18. 
 
 And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots : 
 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They 
 parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast 
 Tots. Matt. 27 : 35. 
 
 Numbered with the Transgressors. — He hath poured out his soul 
 unto death : and he was numbered with the transgressors. Isa. 
 
 53= I2 - 
 
 And with him they crucify two thieves ; the one on his right hand, 
 and the other on his left. And the Scripture was fulfilled, which 
 saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors. Mark 15 : 27, 28. 
 
 His Intercession. — And he bare the sin of many, and made 
 intercession for the transgressors. Isa. 53: 12. 
 
 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them ; for they know not what 
 they do. Luke 23 : 34. 
 
 His Death. — He was cut off out of the land of the living. Isa. 
 53: 8. 
 
 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the 
 ghost. And, behold, the vail of the temple was rent in twain from 
 the top to the bottom ; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent ; 
 and the graves were opened ; and many bodies of the saints which 
 slept arose, and came out of the graves after his resurrection, and 
 went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. Matt. 27 : 50-53. 
 
 Accursed for Us. — He that is hanged is accursed of God. Deut. 
 21: 23. 
 
 Christ . . . being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed 
 is every one that hangeth on a tree. Gal. 3 : 13. 
 
 Not a Bone Broken. — And the Lord said unto Moses and Aaron, 
 This is the ordinance of the passover : . . . Neither shall ye break 
 a bone thereof. Ex. 12: 43, 46. He keepeth all his bones: not 
 one of them is broken. Psa. 34 : 20. 
 
 Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the 
 other which was crucified with him. But when they came to Jesus, 
 and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs. . . . For

 these things were done, that the Scripture should be fulfilled, A bone 
 of him shall not be broken. John 19 : 32, 33, 36. 
 
 Side Pierced. — And they shall look upon me whom they have 
 pierced, Zech. 12 : 10. 
 
 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith 
 came thereout blood and water. And he that saw it, bare record, 
 and his record is true : and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye 
 might believe. . . . And again another Scripture saith, They shall 
 look on him whom they pierced. John 19 : 34, 35, 37. 
 
 Buried with the Rich.— And he made his grave with the wicked, 
 and with the rich in his death ; because he had done no violence, 
 neither was any deceit in his mouth. Isa. 53 : 9. 
 
 When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathea, 
 named Joseph, who also was himself Jesus' disciple: he went to 
 Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the 
 body to be delivered. And when Joseph had taken the body, he 
 wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and laid it in his own new tomb, 
 which he had hewn out in the rock : and he rolled a great stone to 
 the door of the sepulchre, and departed. Matt. 27 : 57-60. 
 
 Free of Corruption. — Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory 
 rejoiceth : my flesh also shall rest in hope. For thou wilt not leave 
 my soul in hell ; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see 
 corruption. Psa. 16: 9, 10. 
 
 Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch 
 David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us 
 unto this day. Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God 
 had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, accord- 
 ing to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne ; he, 
 seeing this before, spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul 
 was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption. Acts 2 : 
 29-31. 
 
 His Resurrection. — For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell ; 
 neither wilt thou suffer thine holy one to see corruption. Psa. 16: 
 10. Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall 
 they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust : for thy dew is as 
 the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead. Isa. 26 : 19. 
 
 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. And 
 they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. And it 
 came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two 
 men stood by them in shining garments : and as they were afraid, 
 and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why 
 seek ye the living among the dead ? He is not here, but is risen. 
 Remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, 
 saying, The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful 
 men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. And they 
 remembered his words. Luke 24: 2-8. 
 
 I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how 
 that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures ; and that he 
 was buried ; and that he rose again the third day according to the 
 Scriptures : and that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve : 
 after that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once ; of 
 whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen 
 asleep. After that, he was seen of James ; then of all the apostles. 
 And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due 
 time. 1 Cor. T5 : 3-8. 
 
 His Ascension. — Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led cap- 
 tivity captive : thou hast received gifts for men ; yea, for the 
 rebellious also, that the Lord God might dwell among them. Psa. 
 68: 18. 
 
 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his 
 hands, and blessed them. And it came to pass, while he blessed 
 them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven. And 
 they worshipped him. Luke 24: 50-53. And while they looked 
 steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by 
 them in white apparel ; which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why 
 stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken 
 up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have 
 seen him go into heaven. Acts 1 : 10, n. 
 
 At God's Right Hand. — The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou 
 at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. Psa. 
 no: 1. 
 
 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up steadfastly into 
 heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right 
 hand of God, and said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the 
 Son of man standing on the right hand of God. Acts 7 : 55, 56. 
 . . . Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image 
 of his person, and upholding all tilings by the word of his power, 
 
 when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right ra.no 
 of the Majesty on high ; being made so much better than the angels, 
 as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. 
 Heb. 1 : 3, 4. 
 
 Our High Priest. — Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, saying, 
 Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH ; and he shall grow 
 up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the Lord : even 
 he shall build the temple of the Lord ; and he shall bear the glory, 
 and shall sit and rule upon his throne ; and he shall be a priest 
 upon his throne : and the counsel of peace shall be between then? 
 both. Zech. 6 : 12, 13. 
 
 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? // is God 
 that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth ? // is Christ that died, 
 yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, 
 who also maketh intercession for us. Rom. 8 : t,^, 34. 
 
 King in Zion. — Yet have I set my King upon my holy hill of Ziot., 
 I will declare the decree : the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my 
 Son ; this day have I begotten thee. Ask of me. and I shall give 
 thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the 
 earth for thy possession. Psa. 2 : 6-8. 
 
 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest ; and 
 the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David. 
 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his 
 kingdom there shall be no end. Luke 1 : 32, 33. 
 
 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world : if my kingdom 
 were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not 
 be delivered to the Jews : but now is my kingdom not from hence. 
 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus 
 answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, 
 and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness 
 unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. 
 John 18: 36, 37. 
 
 ■ Gathering of Gentiles. — And in that day there shall be a root of 
 Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people ; to it shall the 
 Gentiles seek : and his rest shall be glorious. Isa. n: 10. Behold, 
 my servant, whom I uphold ; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth ; 
 I have put my Spirit upon him : he shall bring forth judgment to the 
 Gentiles. Isa. 42 : 1. 
 
 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, 
 saying, Behold my servant, whom T have chosen ; my beloved, in 
 whom my soul is well pleased : I will put my Spirit upon him, and 
 he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles. And in his name shall the 
 Gentiles trust. Matt. 12: 17, 18, 2r. 
 
 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as 
 many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was 
 poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. For they heard them speak 
 with tongues and magnify God. Acts io : 45, 46. 
 
 His Government Righteous. — Thy throne, O God, is for ever and 
 ever : the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre. Thou lovest 
 righteousness, and hatest wickedness : therefore God, thy God, hath 
 anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. Psa. 
 
 45 = 6 > 7- 
 
 I can of mine own self do nothing : as I hear, I judge : and my 
 judgment is just ; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of 
 the Father which hath sent me. John 5 : 30. 
 
 And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse ; and he that 
 sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he 
 doth judge and make war. Rev. 19: n. 
 
 His Dominion Universal. — He shall have dominion also from sea 
 to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth. They that 
 dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him ; and his enemies shall 
 lick the dust. Psa. 72 : 8,9. And there was given him dominion, 
 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 
 destroyed. Dan. 7: 14. 
 
 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a 
 name which is above every name : that at the name of Jesus every 
 knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things 
 under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus 
 Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Phil. 2 : 9-1 t.

 Peter's Martyrdom. — Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou

 another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not.

 The Lord's Colt. — And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and 
 were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus 
 two disciples, saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, 
 and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her : loose 
 them, and bring them unto me. And if any man say aught unto you, 
 ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them ; and straightway he will 
 send them. . . . And the disciples went, and did as Jesus com-

 The Passover Supper. — And the first day of unleavened bread, 
 when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where 
 wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover ?

 ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of 
 water : follow him. And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the 
 good-man of the house, The Master saith, Where is the guest-cham- 
 ber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples? And he will 
 shew you a large upper room furnished a?id prepared : there make

 hast said. Matt. 26: 20, 21, 25. 
 
 Fate of Judas. — The Son of man goeth, as it is written of him: 
 but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed ! It had 
 been good for that man if he had not been born. Matt. 26 : 24. 
 
 (Accomplishment.) — Now this man purchased a field with the 
 reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the 
 midst, and all his bowels gushed out. Acts 1 : 18. 
 
 The Burial. — Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees 
 answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee. But he 
 answered and said to them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh 
 after a sign, and there shall no sign be given to it but the sign of the. 
 prophet Jonas: for as Jonas was three days and three nights in the 
 whale's belly ; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights 
 in the heart of the earth. Matt. 12 : 38-40. 
 
 False Christs. — Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is

 ITS DESIGN AND TEACHING. 
 
 Promises the Gospel. — Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to 
 be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God, which he had 
 promised afore by his prophets in the holy Scriptures. Rom. 1 : 1,2. 
 
 Reveals God's Statutes. — Behold, I have taught you statutes and 
 judgments, even as the Lord my God commanded me, that ye should 
 do so in the land whither ye go to possess it. Deut. 4 : 5. 
 
 Records Divine Prophecies. — We have also a more sure word of 
 prophecy ; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light 
 that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day-star 
 arise in your hearts : knowing this first, that no prophecy of the 
 Scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came 
 not in old time by the will of man : but holy men of God spake as 
 they were moved by the Holy Ghost. 2 Pet. 1 : 19-21. 
 
 Testifies of Christ. — Search the Scriptures ; for in them ye think 
 ye have eternal life : and they are they which testify of me. John 
 5 : 39. For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publicly, 
 shewing by the Scriptures that Jesus was Christ. Acts 18 : 28. 
 
BIBLE HISTORY AND ANALYSIS.

 Sufficient to Salvation. — Abraham saith unto him, They have 
 Moses and the prophets ; let them hear them. And he said, Nay, 
 father Abraham : but if one went unto them from the dead, they 
 will repent. And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the 
 prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rose from the 
 dead. Lukei6: 29-31. 
 
 An Unerring Guide. — My son, keep thy father's commandment, 
 and forsake not the law of thy mother : bind them continually upon 
 thine heart, and tie them about thy neck. When thou goest, it shall 
 lead thee ; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee : and when thou 
 awakest, it shall talk with thee. For the commandment is a lamp ; 
 and the law is light ; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life. 
 Prov. 6 : 20-23. 
 
 Profitable. — From a child thou hast known the holy Scriptures, 
 which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which 
 is in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and 
 is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction 
 in righteousness: that the man of God maybe perfect, thoroughly 
 furnished unto all good works. 2 Tim. 3: 15-17. 
 
 Will be Fulfilled. — The grass withereth, the flower fadeth : but 
 the word of our God shall stand for ever. Isa. 40 : 8. The law and 
 the prophets were until John : since that time the kingdom of God 
 is preached, and every man presseth into it. And it is easier for 
 heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail. Luke 
 16: 16, 17. 
 
 Its Perfection. — The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the 
 soul : the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. 
 The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart : the com- 
 .nandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of 
 ihe Lord is clean, enduring for ever ; the judgments of the Lord are 
 true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than 
 gold, yea, than much fine gold : sweeter also than honey and the 
 honey-comb. Moreover by them is thy servant Avarned : and in 
 keeping of them there is great reward. Psa. 19 ; 7-1 1. 
 
 Danger of Rejecting. — How shall we escape, if we neglect so 
 great salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, 
 and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; God also 
 bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers 
 miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will? 
 Heb. 2 : 3, 4. 
 
 The True Standard. — If any man speak, let him speak as the 
 oracles of God ; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability 
 which God giveth : that God in all things may be glorified through 
 Jesus Christ : to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. 
 Amen. 1 Pet. 4: 11. 
 
 Be Doers of the Word. — Wherefore lay aside all filthiness, and 
 superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted 
 word, which is able to save your souls. But be ye doers of the 
 word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any 
 be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man 
 beholding his natural face in a glass : for he beholdeth himself, and 
 goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he 
 was. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and con- 
 tinueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the 
 work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. Jas. 1 ; 21-25. 
 
 PROVIDENCE OF GOD : How Exercised 
 be Gratefully Acknowledged by Man. 
 
 PROVIDENCE OF GOD. 
 
 To 
 
 I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause : 
 which doeth great things and unsearchable ; marvellous things with- 
 out number : who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters 
 upon the fields: to set up on high those that be low, that those 
 which mourn may be exalted to safety. Job 5 : 8-1 1. 
 
 The Lord is good to all : and his tender mercies are over all his 
 works. All thy works shall praise thee, O Lord; and thy saints 
 shall bless thee. The Lord upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up 
 ail those that be bowed down. The eyes of all wait upon thee ; and 
 thou givest them their meat in due season. Thou openest thine 
 hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing. Psa. 145 : 9, 
 10, 14-16. 
 
 HOW EXERCISED. 
 
 Preserves His Creatures. — Thou, even thou, art Lord alone; 
 thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, 
 
 the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is 
 therein, and thou preservest them all ; and the host of heaven 
 worshipped! thee. Neh. 9 : 6. 
 
 Provides for Them. — Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought 
 for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink ; nor yet for 
 your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, 
 and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they 
 sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet youi 
 heavenly Father fcedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? 
 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature ? 
 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the 
 field, how they grow ; they toil not, neither do they spin : and yet 
 I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed 
 like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, 
 which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, shall- he not 
 much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore, take no 
 thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, 
 Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the 
 Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need 
 of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his 
 righteousness; and all these tilings shall be added unto you. Malt. 
 6: 25-33. 
 
 Upholds His Saints. — I have been young, and now am old ; yet 
 have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. 
 For the Lord loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they 
 are preserved for ever : but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off. 
 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever. 
 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright : for the end of thai 
 man is peace. Psa. 37 : 25, 28, 29, 37. And fear not them which 
 kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul : but rather fear him 
 which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two 
 sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the 
 ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are 
 all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than 
 many sparrows. Matt. 10: 28-31. 
 
 Disciplines His People. — 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 the Lord sware unto 
 your fathers. And thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord 
 thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, 
 and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou 
 wouldest keep his commandments, or no. And he humbled thee, 
 and suffered 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 the Lord, doth man live. Thy 
 raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these 
 forty years. Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man 
 chasteneth his son, so the Lord thy God chasteneth thee. But thou 
 shalt remember the Lord thy God : for ;'/ is he that giveth thee power 
 to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto 
 thy fathers, as it is this day. Dent. 8 : 1-5, 18. 
 
 Fulfils His Words. — But among these there was not a man of them 
 whom Moses and Aaron the priest numbered, when they numbered 
 the children of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai. For the Lord had 
 said of them, They shall surely die in the wilderness. And there 
 was not left a man of them, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and 
 Joshua the son of Nun. Num. 26 : 64, 65. There failed not aught 
 of any good thing which the Lord had spoken unto the house of 
 Israel; all came to pass. Josh. 21: 45. 
 
 Controls Man's Ways. — A man's heart deviseth his way: but the 
 Lord directeth his steps. Prov. 16: 9. Man's goings are of the 
 Lord : how can a man then understand his own way ? Prov. 20 : 
 24. There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the 
 Lord. Prov. 21: 30. Boast not thyself of to-morrow: for thou 
 knowest not what a day may bring forth. Prov. 27 : 1. Thus saith 
 the Lord, 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. Jer. 9 : 23. 
 
 Orders His Condition. — The Lord maketh poor and maketh rich : 
 he bringeth low, and lifteth up. He raiseth up the poor out of the 
 dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dung-hill, to set them among 
 princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory : for the pillars 
 of the earth are the Lord's, and he hath set the world upon them. 
 1 Sam. 2 : 7,8. Promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the 
 west, nor from the south. But God is the judge : he putteth down 
 one, and setteth up another. Psa. 75 : 6, 7.

 BIBLE HISTORY AND ANALYSIS. 
 
 Determines His Life. — My times are in thy hand. Psa. 31 : 15. 
 Behold, thou hast made my days as a hand-breadth ; and mine age 
 is as nothing before thee : verily, every man at his best state is alto- 
 gether vanity. Selah. Psa. 39:5. Go to now, ye that say, To-day or 
 to-morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, 
 and buy and sell, and get gain : whereas ye know not what shall be 
 on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that 
 appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. For that ye 
 ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live and do this, or that. 
 Jas. 4: 13-15. 
 
 Prompts to Good. — Blessed be the Lord God of our fathers, which 
 hath put such a thing as this in the king's heart, to beautify the house 
 of the Lord which is in Jerusalem. Ezra 7 : 27. 
 
 Defeats Evil Designs. — The Lord bringeth the counsel of the 
 heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect. 
 The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to 
 all generations. Psa. 33 : 10,11. He disappointeth the devices of 
 the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise. He 
 taketh the wise in their own craftiness : and the counsel of the 
 fro ward is carried headlong. They meet with darkness in the day- 
 time, and grope in the noonday as in the night. But he saveth the 
 poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the 
 mighty. So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth. 
 Job 5 : 12-16. 
 
 Sustains the Universe. — Bless the Lord, O my soul. . . . Who 
 laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed fof 
 ever. Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment : the waters 
 stood above the mountains. . . . Thou hast set a bound that they 
 may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth. He 
 sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills. 
 They give drink to every beast of the field : the wild asses quench 
 their thirst. By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their 
 habitation, which sing among the branches. He watereth the hills 
 from his chambers : the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works. 
 He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service 
 of man : that he may bring forth food out of the earth. ... He 
 appointed the moon for seasons : the sun knoweth his going down. 
 Thou makest darkness, and it is night : wherein all the beasts of the 
 forest do creep fo)-th. The young lions roar after their prey, and 
 seek their meat from God. Man goeth forth unto his work and to 
 his labor until the evening. O Lord, how manifold are thy works ! 
 in wisdom hast thou made them all : the earth is full of thy riches. 
 . . . Psa. 104. 
 
 Directs All Events. — The lot is cast into the lap ; but the whole 
 disposing thereof is of the Lord. Prov. 16 : -2>Z- Except the Lord 
 build the house, they labor in vain that build it : except the Lord 
 keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain, It is vain for you 
 to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows : for so he 
 giveth his beloved sleep. Psa. 127 : 1, 2. 
 
 Rules the Elements.— He sealeth up the hand of every man ; that 
 all men may know his work. Then the beasts go into dens, and 
 remain in their places. Out of the south cometh the whirlwind : 
 and cold out of the north. By the breath of God frost is given : 
 and the breadth of the waters is straightened. Also by watering he 
 wearieth the thick cloud : he scattereth his bright cloud : and it is 
 turned round about by his counsels : that they may do whatsoever he 
 commandeth them upon the face of the world in the earth. He 
 causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for 
 mercy. Job 37: 7-13. 
 
 Objectors Reproved. — Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker ! 
 Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the 
 clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, 
 He hath no hands ? Thus saith the Lord, I have made the earth, 
 and created man upon it. I have raised him up in righteousness, 
 and I will direct all his ways. Isa. 45 : 9-13. 
 
 Is Righteous. — The Lord is righteous in all his ways, and holy in 
 all his works. Psa. 145 : 17. 
 
 Ever Watchful. — Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither 
 slumber nor sleep. Psa. 121: 4. 
 
 Deep and Unsearchable. — O the depth of the riches both of the 
 wisdom and knowledge of God ! how unsearchable are his judgments, 
 and his ways past finding out ! Rom. n : 33. 
 
 TO BE GRATEFULLY ACKNOWLEDGED BY MAN. 
 
 For Good to Saints. — And we know that all things work together 
 for good to them that love God, to them who are the called accord- 
 ing to his purpose. Rom. 8 : 28. 
 
 In Prosperity. — Both riches and honor come of thee, and -thou 
 reignest over all ; and in thine hand is power and might ; and in thy 
 hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all. Now there- 
 fore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name. 1 (.'hrnn. 
 29: 12, 13. 
 
 In Adversity. — Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved 
 his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped, and said, 
 Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return 
 thither : the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away ; blessed be 
 the name of the Lord. Job 1 : 20, 21. 
 
 In Public Calamities. — Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and 
 the people not be afraid ? shall there be evil in a city, and the Lord 
 hath not done it? Amos 3 : 6. 
 
 In All Things. — In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall 
 direct thy paths. Prov. 3 : 6. 
 
 With Faith. — Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his 
 righteousness ; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matt. 
 
 6: 33- 
 
 The Reward. — Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts 
 shall be established. Prov. 16: 3.

 THE CHRISTIAN LIFE. 
 
 Communion with God. — And Enoch walked with God : and he 
 was not; for God took him. Gen. 5 : 24. 
 
 If Reconciled. — Can two walk together, except they be agreed? 
 Amos 3 : 3. 
 
 In Old Paths. — Thus saith the Lord, 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. Jer. 6 : 16. 
 
 Christ the Guide. — Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, 
 and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 
 14: 6. 
 
 Holiness Essential. — Be ye not unequally yoked together with 
 unbelievers : for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteous- 
 ness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what 
 concord hath Christ with Belial ? or what part hath he that believeth 
 with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with 
 idols ? for ye are the temple of the living God ; as God hath said, I 
 will dwell in them, and walk in them ; and I will be their God, and 
 they shall be my people. 2 Cor. 6 : 14-16. 
 
 Promised to Believers. — Jesus answered and said unto him, If a 
 man love me, he will keep my words : and my Father will love him, 
 and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. John 
 14: 23. 
 
 Saints Desire God. — As the hart panteth after the water-brooks, 
 so panteth my soul after thee, O God. My soul thirsteth for God, 
 for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God? 
 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted 
 within me? hope thou in God : for I shall yet praise him, who is the 
 health of my countenance, and my God. Psa. 42 : 1, 2, n. 
 
 Rejoice in Hope. — I have set the Lord always before me : because 
 he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Therefore my heart 
 is glad, and my glory rejoiceth : my flesh also shall rest in hope. 
 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell. . . . Thou wilt shew me 
 the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right 
 hand there are pleasures for evermore. Psa. 16 : 8-1 1. 
 
 CONFESSION OF SIN. 
 
 God Requires. — And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of 
 these things, that he shall confess that he hath sinned in that thing. 
 Lev. 5:5. I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge 
 their offence, and seek my face : in their affliction they will seek me 
 early. Hos. 5 : 15. 
 
 God Answers. — He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have 
 sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not; 
 he will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see 
 the light. Job 33: 27,28. And while I was speaking, and praying,

 and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and present- 
 ing my supplication before the Lord my God for the holy mountain 
 of my God ; yea, while I was speaking in prayer, even the man 
 Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being 
 caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening 
 oblation. And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O 
 Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding. 
 At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, 
 and I am come to shewtfiee; for thou art greatly beloved. Dan. 9 : 
 20-23. 
 
 With Submission to Punishment. — Thou art just in all that is 
 brought upon us ; for thou hast done right, but we have done 
 wickedly. Neh. 9 : 33. 
 
 Prayer for Forgiveness. — We acknowledge, O LORD, our wicked- 
 ness, and the iniquity of our fathers : for we have sinned against 
 thee. Do not abhor us, for thy name's sake; do not disgrace the 
 throne of thy glory : remember, break not thy covenant with us. 
 Jer. 14 : 20, 21. 
 
 Self-Abasement. — But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our 
 righteousnesses are as filthy rags ; and we all do fade as a leaf ; and 
 our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. And there is none 
 that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of 
 thee : for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us, 
 because of our iniquities. Isa. 64: 6, 7. 
 
 Godly Sorrow. — Behold, O Lord ; for I am in distress ; my bowels 
 are troubled ; mine heart is turned within me ; for I have grievously 
 rebelled : abroad the sword bereaveth, at home there is as death. 
 Lam. 1 : 20. 
 
 Forsaking Sin. — He that covereth his sins shall not prosper : but 
 whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. Prov. 
 28: 13. 
 
 Recompensing Evil. — Aiid the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 
 Speak unto the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall 
 commit any sin that men commit, to do a trespass against the Lord, 
 and that person be guilty ; then they shall confess their sin which 
 they have done : and he shall recompense his trespass with the prin- 
 cipal thereof, and add unto it the fifth part thereof, and give it unto 
 him against whom he hath trespassed. But if the man have no 
 kinsman to recompense the trespass unto, let the trespass be recom- 
 pensed unto the Lord. Num. 5 : 5-8. 
 
 Followed by Pardon. — I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and 
 mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgres- 
 sions unto the Lord ; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. 
 Selah. For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a 
 time when thou mayest be found. Psa. 32 : 5,6. 
 
 FEAR OF GOD. 
 
 Ciodly Fear. — Sanctify the Lord of hosts himself, and let him be 
 your fear, and let him be your dread. And he shall be for a sanctuary. 
 Isa. 8 : 13, 14. 
 
 The Covenant. — And they shall be my people, and I will be their 
 God : and I will give them one heart and one way, that they may 
 fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after 
 them : and I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I 
 will not turn away from them, to do them good ; but I will put my 
 fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me. Jer. 32 : 
 38-40. 
 
 Scriptures Explain. — My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and 
 hide my commandments with thee ; so that thou incline thine ear 
 unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; yea, if thou 
 criest after knowledge, and liitest up thy voice for understanding; if 
 thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures ; 
 then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowl- 
 edge of God. Prov. 2: 1-5. 
 
 Is Hatred of Evil. — The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: pride, 
 and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate. 
 Prov. 8 : 13. 
 
 Wisdom. — The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a 
 good understanding have all they that do his commandments : his 
 praise endureth for ever. Psa. in: 10. 
 
 Fountain of Life. — The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, to 
 depart from the snares of death. Prov. 14: 27. 
 
 Reverential. — Furthermore, we have had fathers of our flesh which 
 corrected us, and we gave them reverence : shall we not much rather 
 be In subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? Wherefore 
 we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, 
 
 whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly 
 fear: for our God is a consuming fire. Heb. 12:9, 28, 29. 
 
 Abides with Saints. — Then they that feared the Lord spake often 
 one to another : and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book 
 of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the 
 Lord, and that thought upon his name. And they shall be mine, 
 saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and 
 
 1 will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. 
 Mai. 3 : 16, 17. 
 
 Judges Righteously. — And he set judges in the land throughout 
 all the fenced cities of Judah, city by city, and said to the judges, 
 Take heed what ye do : for ye judge not for man, but for the Lord, 
 who is with you in the judgment. Wherefore now let the fear of 
 the Lord be upon you ; take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity 
 with the Lord our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of gifts. 
 
 2 Chron. 19 : 5-7. 
 
 Perfects Holiness. — Having therefore these promises, dearly 
 beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and 
 spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. 2 Cor. 7 : 1. 
 
 Such Please God. — The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear 
 him, in those that hope in his mercy. Psa. 147 : n. 
 
 FAITH IN GOD. 
 
 Faith. — Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the 
 evidence of things not seen. Heb. n : 1. 
 
 Commanded. — And Jesus answering, saith unto them, Have faith in 
 God. Mark n : 22. 
 
 Jesus the Author. — Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of 
 our faith ; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, 
 despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne 
 of God. Heb. 12 : 2. 
 
 Gift of God. — For by grace are ye saved through faith ; and that 
 not of yourselves : it is the gift of God. Eph. 2 : 8. 
 
 Giveth Life. — These are written that ye might believe that Jesus 
 is the Christ, the Son of God ; and that believing ye might have life 
 through his name. John 20 : 31. 
 
 Peace with God. — Therefore being justified by faith, we have 
 peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ : by whom also we 
 have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in 
 hope of the glory of God. Rom. 5 : 1,2.

 Christ Observed. — And he came to Nazareth, where he had been 
 brought up : and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on 
 the sabbath day, and stood up for to read. . . . And came down 
 to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath 
 days. Luke 4: 16, 31. 
 
 Make No Purchases. — And if the people of the land bring ware 
 or any victuals on the sabbath day to sell, that we would not buy it 
 of them on the sabbath, or on the holy day. Neh. 10 : 31. 
 
 Carry No Burdens. — Thus saith the Lord ; Take heed to your- 
 selves, and bear no burden on the sabbath days, nor bring it in by 
 the gates of Jerusalem ; neither carry forth a burden out of your 
 houses on the sabbath day, neither do ye any work, but hallow ye the 
 sabbath day, as I cnnimanded your fathers. Jer. 17 : 21, 22. 
 
 Have Divine Wonihip. — Likewise the people of the land shall 
 5 
 
 worship at the door of this gate before the Lord in the sabbaths. 
 Eze. 46 : 3. And on the sabbath we went out of the city by a river 
 side, where prayer was wont to be made; and we sat down, and 
 spake unto the women which resorted tliilher. Acts 16 : 13. 
 
 Read the Scriptures. — For Moses of old time hath in every city 
 them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath 
 day. Acts 15 : 21. 
 
 Preach God's Word. — But when they departed from Perga, they 
 came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the 
 sabbath day, and sat down. And after the reading of the law and 
 the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye 
 men and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, 
 say on. . . . And the next sabbath day came also the whole city 
 together to hear the word of God. Acts 13 : 14, 15, 44. 
 
 Religious Services Lawful. — Or have ye not read in the law. 
 how that on the sabbath day the priests in the temple profane the 
 sabbath, and are blameless? Matt. 12:5. If a man on the sabbath 
 day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be 
 broken ; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit 
 whole on the sabbath day? John 7 : 23. 
 
 Works of Mercy Lawful. — And he said unto them, What man shall 
 there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a 
 pit on the sabbath day will he not lay hold on it, and lift //out? 
 How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is 
 lawful to do well on the sabbath days. Matt. 12 : n, 12. 
 
 Necessary Wants Supply. — At that time Jesus went on the sabbath 
 day through the corn ; and his disciples were a hungered, and began 
 to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat. Matt. 12: 1. The Lord 
 then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of 
 you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead 
 him away to watering? Luke 13: 15. 
 
 God's Holy Day. — If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, 
 from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a 
 delight, the holy of the Lord, honorable ; and shalt honor him, not 
 doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking 
 thine own words : then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord ; and 
 I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed 
 thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father : for the mouth of the 
 Lord hath spoken //. Isa. 58: 13, 14. 
 
 First Day Sanctified. — Now when Jesus was risen early the first day 
 of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he 
 had cast seven devils. Mark 16: 9. And after eight days again 
 his disciples were within, and Thomas with them : then came Jesus, 
 the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto 
 you. John 20 : 26. And upon the first day of the week, when the 
 disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, 
 ready to depart on the morrow, and continued his speech until mid- 
 night. Acts 20 : 7. Upon the first day of the week let every one 
 of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be 
 no gathering when I come. 1 Cor. 16: 2. I was in the Spirit on 
 the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, 
 saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last. Rev. 
 1 : 10, 11. 
 
 Saints Observe. — And I commanded the Levites that they should 
 cleanse themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to 
 sanctify the sabbath day. Remember me, O my God, concerning 
 this also, and spare me according to the greatness of thy mercy. 
 Neh. 13 : 22. 
 
 Saints Rejoice In. — This is the day which the Lord hath made ; 
 we will rejoice and be glad in it. Psa. 118 : 24. 
 
 To Be Perpetual. — Think not that I am come to destroy the law, 
 or the prophets : I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily 
 I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall 
 in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Matt. 5 : 17, 18. 
 
 Blessedness of Keeping. — Blessed is the man that doeth this, and 
 the son of man that layeth hold on it ; that keepeth the sabbath from 
 polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil. Also the 
 sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the Lord, to serve him, 
 and to love the name of the Lord, to be his servants, every one that 
 keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my cove- 
 nant; even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them 
 joyful in my house of prayer. Isa. 56 : 2, 6, 7. 
 
 Evil of Profaning. — Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, 
 and said unto them, What evil thing is this that ye do, and profane 
 the sabbath day? 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. Neh. 13: 17,18.

 BIBLE HISTORY AND ANALYSIS. 
 
 THE CHURCH, and Its Ministry. 
 
 THE CHURCH. 
 
 Belongs to God. — These things write I unto thee, hoping to come 
 unto thee shortly : but if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou 
 oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church 
 of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth, i Tim. 3 : 
 
 14, IS- 
 
 Body of Christ. — And hath put all things under his feet, and gave 
 
 him to be the head over all things to the church, which is his body, 
 the fulness of him that filltdr all in all. Eph. 1 : 22, 23. 
 
 Christ The Foundation-Stone. — For other foundation can no man 
 lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 1 Cor. 3:11. As new- 
 born babes, desire the sincere milk of the word that ye may grow 
 thereby : if so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. To whom 
 coming as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen 
 of God, and precious, ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spir- 
 itual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, accepta- 
 ble to God by Jesus Christ. Wherefore also it is contained in the 
 Scripture, Behold, I lay in. Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious : 
 and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. Unto you 
 therefore which believe, he is precious : but unto them which be 
 disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is 
 made the head of the corner. 1 Pet. 2 : 3-7.. 
 
 Christ the Head. — For the husband is the head of the wife, even 
 as Christ is the head of the church : and he is the Saviour of the 
 body. Eph. 5 : 23. 
 
 Loved by Christ. — Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus 
 knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world 
 unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he 
 loved them unto the end. John 13 : 1. 
 
 Bought by His Blood. — Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and 
 to all the flock over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you 
 overseers, to feed the church of God which he hath purchased with 
 his own blood. Acts 20 : 28. Christ also loved the church, and 
 gave himself for it ; that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the 
 washing of water by the word, that he might present it to himself a 
 glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing ; but 
 that it should be holy and without blemish. Eph. 5 : 25-27. 
 
 Subject to Christ.— Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become 
 dead to the law by the body of Christ ; that ye should be married to 
 another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should 
 bring forth fruit unto God. Rom. 7 : 4. 
 
 Kept by God's Grace. — I the LORD do keep it; I will water it 
 every moment ; lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day. Isa. 
 27: 3. 
 
 Shows God's Wisdom. — To the intent that now unto the princi- 
 palities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church 
 the manifold wisdom of God. Eph. 3 : 10. 
 
 Its Excellence. — Ye are the salt of the earth : but if the salt have 
 lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good 
 for nothing but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. 
 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be 
 hid. Matt. 5 : 13, 14. 
 
 Loved by Believers. — If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right 
 hand forget her cunning. If I do not remember thee, let my tongue 
 cleave to the roof of my mouth ; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my 
 chief joy. Psa. 137 : 5, 6. That there should be no schism in the 
 body; but that the members should have the same care one for 
 another. And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer 
 with it; or one member be honored, all the members rejoice with it. 
 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. 1 Cor. 
 12: 25-27. 
 
 Prayed For. — Pray for the peace of Jerusalem : they shall prosper 
 that love thee. Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy 
 palaces. Psa. 122: 6, 7. I have set watchmen upon thy walls, 
 Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night : ye that 
 make mention of the Lord, keep not silence. Isa. 62 : 6. 
 
 Dear to God. — The Lord loveth the gates of Zion more than all the 
 dwellings of Jacob. Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of 
 God. Selah. Psa. 87 : 2, 3. Since thou wast precious in my 
 sight, thou hast been honorable, and I have loved thee : therefore 
 will I give men for thee, and people for thy life. Isa. 43 : 4. 
 
 He Safely Keeps. — God is our refuge and strength, a very present 
 help in trouble. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be 
 moved : God shall keep her, and that right early. The Lord of 
 
 hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. S<'lah. Psa. 46; 
 1, 5, 11. They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Zion, which 
 cannot be removed, but abideth for ever. As the mountains are 
 round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people from 
 henceforth even for ever. Psa. 125: 1, 2. 
 
 Is Militant. — Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, fair as 
 the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners? 
 Song 6:10. I have fought a good fight, 1 have finished my course, 
 I have kept the faith. 2 Tim. 4 : 7. 
 
 God Defends. — The Lord is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel 
 is our King. Psa. 89 : 18. And I say also unto thee, That thou art 
 Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church ; and the gates of 
 hell shall not prevail against it. Matt. 16 : 18. 
 
 He Provides Ministers. — And I will give you pastors according to 
 mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding. 
 Jer. 3 : 15. And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and 
 some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; for the perfecting 
 of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the 
 body of Christ. Eph. 4: 11, 12. 
 
 Should Glorify God.— Unto him be glory in the church by Christ 
 Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen. Eph. 3: 21. 
 
 Is Righteous. — 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. Rev. 19 : 8. 
 
 Believers are Added. — And they, continuing daily with one 
 accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did 
 eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, praising God, 
 and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the 
 church daily such as should be saved. Acts 2 : 47. 
 
 Its Unity. — So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every 
 one members one of another. Rom. 12 : 5. There is neither Jew 
 nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor 
 female : for ye are ali one in Christ Jesus. Gal. 3 : 28. Endeavor- 
 ing to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is 
 one body and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your 
 calling ; one Lord, one faith, one baptism. One God and Father of 
 all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. Eph. 4 : 3-6. 
 
 Its Privileges. — They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness 
 of thy house : and thou shalt make them drink of the rivers of thy 
 pleasure. Psa. 36 : 8. And of Zion it shall be said, This and that 
 man was born in her ; and the highest himself shall establish her. 
 The Lord shall count when he writeth up the people, that this man 
 was born there. Psa. 87: 5, 6. 
 
 Worship to Be Attended. — And let us consider one another to 
 provoke unto love and to good works : not forsaking the assembling 
 of ourselves together, as the manner of some is : but exhorting one 
 another: and so much the more as ye see the day approaching. 
 Heb. 10 : 24, 25. 
 
 Its Harmonious Fellowship. — Behold, how good and how pleasant 
 it is for brethren to dwell together in unity. Psa. 133 : 1. And the 
 multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul : 
 neither said any of them that aught of the things that he possessed 
 was his own; but they had all things common. Acts 4: 32. We 
 know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the 
 brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. 1 John 
 
 3: J 4- 
 
 Shun Divisions. — Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which 
 cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have 
 learned ; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our 
 Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly ; and by good words and fair 
 speeches deceive the hearts of the simple. Rom. 16 : 17. 
 
 Keep the Word. — Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in 
 all wisdom ; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and 
 hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the 
 Lord. And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name 
 of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. 
 Col. 3: 16, 17. 
 
 The Wicked Persecute. — For ye, brethren, became followers of 
 the churches of God which in Judea are in Christ Jesus : for ye also 
 have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have 
 of the Jews: who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own 
 prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are 
 contrary to all men. 1 Thes. 2 : 14, 15. 
 
 To be Honored. — What ! have ye not houses to eat and to drink 
 in ? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? 
 What shall I say to you ? shall I praise you in this ? I praise you not. 
 1 Cor. 11 : 22.

 Not to Be Defiled. — If any man defile the temple of God, him 
 shall God destroy ; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye 
 are. i Cor. 3 : 17. 
 
 Its Extent. — And in the days of these kings shall the God of 
 heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed : and the 
 kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces 
 and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. Dan. 
 2: 44. 
 
 ITS MINISTRY. 
 
 Called by God. — And take thou unto thee Aaron thy brother, and 
 his sons with him from among the children of Israel, that he may 
 minister unto me in the priest's office. Exod. 28 : 1. And no man 
 taketh this honor unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was 
 Aaron. Heb. 5 : 4. 
 
 Qualified by God. — Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think 
 any thing as of ourselves ; 'but our sufficiency is of God ; who also 
 hath made us able ministers of the new testament ; not of the letter, 
 but of the spirit : for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. 
 2 Cor. 3: 5, 6. 
 
 Commissioned by Christ. — And Jesus came and spake unto them, 
 saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye 
 therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the 
 Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to 
 observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you : and lo, I am 
 with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Matt. 28 : 
 18-20. 
 
 Sent by the Holy Ghost. — As they ministered to the Lord, and 
 fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the 
 work whereunto I have called them. So they being sent forth by 
 the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia. Acts 13 : 2, 4. 
 
 Authority of God. — For though I should boast somewhat more of 
 my authority which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not 
 for your destruction, I should not be ashamed. 2 Cor. 10: 8. 
 
 Speaking for God. — As we were allowed of God to be put in trust 
 with the gospel, even so we speak ; not as pleasing men, but God, 
 which trieth our hearts. 1 Thes. 2 : 4. 
 
 Ambassadors for Christ. — Now then we are ambassadors for 
 Christ, as though God did beseech you by us : we pray you in 
 Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. 2 Cor. 5 : 20. 
 
 Ministers of Christ. — Let a man so account of us, as of the min- 
 isters of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. 1 Cor. 4:1. 
 
 Necessity and Excellence. — How then shall they call on him in 
 whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of 
 whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a 
 preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is 
 written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel 
 of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things. Rom. 10: 14, 15. 
 
 God Blesses Labors. — So then neither is he that planteth any 
 thing, neither he that watereth ; but God that giveth the increase. 
 1 Cor. 3 : 7. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the 
 excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. 2 Cor. 4 : 7. 
 
 Its Character. — A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of 
 one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt 
 to teach ; not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre ; 
 but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; one that ruleth well his 
 own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity. 
 Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without ; 
 lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. Holding the 
 mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. 1 Tim. 3 : 2-4, 7, 9. 
 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, 
 temperate; holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, 
 that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to con- 
 vince the gainsayefs. Tit. 1 : 8, 9. Till I come, give attendance 
 to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. Meditate upon these things ; 
 give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. 
 1 Tim. 4: 13, 15. 
 
 Seek to Save. — Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to 
 the Gentiles, nor to the church of God : even as I please all men in 
 all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that 
 they may be saved. 1 Cor. 10: 32, 33. 
 
 Preach Christ Crucified.— For I determined not to know any 
 thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. 1 Cor. 2 : 2. 
 
 Repentance and Faith. — Testifying both to the Jews, and also to 
 the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus 
 Cluist. Acts 20 : 21. 
 
 As God's Oracles. — If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles 
 
 of God ; if any man minister, let him do it as of tie ability which 
 God giveth; that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus 
 Christ : to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. 
 
 1 Pet. 4 : 11. 
 
 Everywhere. — And they went forth, and preached everywhere, 
 the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs 
 following. Amen. Mark 16: 20. 
 
 Preaching Only Christ. — For we preach not ourselves, but Christ 
 Jesus the Lord ; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. 2 Cor. 
 
 4: 5- 
 
 Without Deceit. — Therefore, seeing we have this ministry, as we 
 have received mercy, we faint not; but have renounced the hidden 
 things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the 
 word of God deceitfully; but, by manifestation of the truth, com- 
 mending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. 
 
 2 Cor. 4 : 2. 
 
 Without Reserve. — But the angel of the Lord by night opened 
 the prison -doors, and brought them forth, and said, Go, stand and 
 speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life. Acts 5 : 
 19, 20. 
 
 With Boldness. — Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a 
 trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of 
 Jacob their sins. Is not this the fast that I have chosen ? to loose 
 the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the 
 oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? Is it not to deal 
 thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast 
 out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; 
 and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh? Isa. 58: 6, 7. 
 
 With Plain Words. — Seeing then that we have such hope, we use 
 great plainness of speech. 2 Cor. 3: 12. 
 
 With Constancy. — But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, 
 and to the ministry of the word. Acts 6 : 4. 
 
 With Heedfulness. — Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doc- 
 trine ; continue in them : for in doing this thou shalt both save 
 thyself, and them that hear thee. 1 Tim. 4: 16. 
 
 With Love. — Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; 
 and some also of good will: the one preach Christ of contention, 
 not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds : but the other 
 of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel. Phil. 
 1: 15-17. 
 
 With Supplication. — Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, 
 weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy 
 people, O Lord, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the 
 heathen should rule over them : wherefore should they say among 
 their people, Where m their God? Joel 2 : 17. 
 
 Fight with Faith. — This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, 
 according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by 
 them mightest war a good warfare. 1 Tim. 1 : 18. 
 
 Are Rewarded. — Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom 
 his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in 
 due season ? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh 
 shall find so doing. Matt. 24: 45, 46. 
 
 Duty of Flock. — Obey them that have the rule over you, and 
 submit yourselves : for they watch for your souls, as they that must 
 give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: fur 
 that is unprofitable for you. Pray for us. Heb. 13: 17,18. 
 
 Should Support Them. — Who goeth a warfare any time at his own 
 charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? 
 or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? If 
 we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall 
 reap your carnal things? 1 Cor. 9: 7, 11. 
 
 FAMILY LIFE: Marriage: Parents: Children. 
 
 FAMILY LIFE. 
 
 Psa. 
 
 Ordained by God. — God setteth the solitary in families. 
 68: 6. 
 
 Love of Home. — As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a 
 man that wandereth from his place. Prov. 27 : 8 
 
 Abuse not Hospitality.— Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbor's 
 house ; lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee. Prov. 25 : 17. 
 
 Christian Family Blessed. — Blessed is every one that feareth the 
 Lord ; that walketh in his ways. For thou shalt eat the labor of 
 thine hands: happy sha/t thou be, and it shall be well with thee. 
 Thy wife shall bt as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy 
 
68

 children like olive plants round about thy table. Behold, that thus 
 shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord. Yea, thou shalt see 
 thy children's children, and peace upon Israel. Psa. 128. 
 
 Should Keep God'3 Word. — Only take heed to thyself, and keep 
 thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine i:yes have 
 seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: 
 but teach them thy sons, and thy son's sons. Deut. 4: 9. 
 
 Live in Unity. — So he sent his brethren away, and they departed : 
 and he said unto them, See that ye fall not out by the way. Gen. 
 45 : 24. Behold, how good, and how pleasant it is for brethren to 
 dwell together in unity. Psa. 133: 1. 
 
 Cherish Forbearance. — And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, 
 saying, Thy father did command before he died, saying, So shall ye 
 say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy 
 brethren, and their sin ; for they did unto thee evil : and now, we 
 pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy 
 father. And Joseph wept when they spake unto him. And his 
 brethren also went and fell down before his face ; and they said, 
 Behold, we be thy servants. And Joseph said unto them, Fear not : 
 for am I in the place of God ? But as for you, ye thought evil against 
 me ; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, 
 to save much people alive. Now therefore fear ye not: I will 
 nourish you and your little ones. And he comforted them, and 
 spake kindly unto them. Gen. 50: 16-21. Then came Peter to 
 him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I 
 fo/give him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto 
 thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven. Matt. 18: 
 21, 22. 
 
 Rejoice Before God. — And thou shalt bestow that money for 
 whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, 
 or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth : and thou 
 shalt eat there before the Lord thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, 
 thou, and thine household. Deut. 14: 26. 
 
 Forsake the Deceitful. — He that worketh deceit shall not dwell 
 within my house : he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight. 
 Psa. 101 : 7. 
 
 The Irreligious Warned. — Lest there should be among you man, 
 or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day 
 from the Lord our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; 
 lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and worm- 
 wood : The Lord will not spare him, but then the anger of the 
 Lord and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the 
 curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and the Lord 
 shall blot out his name from under heaven. Deut. 29 : 18, 20. 
 
 To Be Punished. — Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that know 
 thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name : for they 
 have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and 
 have made his habitation desolate. Jer. 10: 25. 
 
 Righteous Examples. — And the Lord said, Shall I hide from 
 Abraham that thing which I do? For I know him, that he will 
 command his children and his household after him, and they shall 
 keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgment ; that the 
 Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him. 
 Gen. 18 : 17, 19. As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. 
 Josh. 24: 15. A devout 7nan and one that feared God with all his 
 house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God 
 always. Acts 10: 2. And when he had brought them into his 
 house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with 
 all his house. Acts 16 : 34. 
 
 MARRIAGE. 
 
 Instituted by God. — And the Lord God said, It is not good that the 
 man should be alone : I will make a help meet for him. Therefore 
 shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his 
 wife: and they shall be one flesh. Gen. 2: 18, 24. 
 
 Commended. — Wlwso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and 
 obtaineth favor of the Lord. Prov. 18: 22. 
 
 Its Obligations. — Wherefore they are no more twain, but one 
 flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put 
 asunder. Matt. 19 : 6. And unto the married I command, yet not 
 I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband : but if 
 she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to Iter hus- 
 band : and let not the husband put away his wife. 1 Cor. 7 : 10. 
 
 Honorable. — Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled : 
 but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. Heb. 13: 4. 
 Who can find a virtuous woman ? for her price is far above rubies. 
 
 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall 
 have no need of spoil. She will do him good and not evil all the 
 days of her life. Prov. 31 : 10-12. 
 
 Law of Divorce. — And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away 
 his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, com- 
 mitteth adultery : and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth 
 commit adultery. Matt. 19: 9. 
 
 Paul's Advice. — Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man 
 have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. Let 
 the husband render unto the wife due benevolence : and likewise also 
 the wife unto the husband. The wife hath not power of her own 
 body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not 
 power of his own body, but the wife. Defraud ye not one the other, 
 except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to 
 fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you 
 not for your incontinency. 1 Cor. 7: 2-5. I will therefore that 
 the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none 
 occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully. 1 Tim. 5 : 14. 
 
 Of the Lamb. — And I heard as it were the voice of a great multi- 
 tude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty 
 thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigntth. 
 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to him : for the marriage 
 of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 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. And he saith 
 unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage 
 supper of the Lamb. And he saith untr> me, These are the true 
 sayings of God. Rev. 19 : 6-9. 
 
 None in Heaven. — For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor 
 are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. Matt. 
 22: 30. 
 
 Forbidden with Unbelievers. — Be ye not unequally yoked together 
 with unbelievers : for what fellowship hath righteousness with un- 
 righteousness ? and what communion hath light with darkness? And 
 what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that 
 believeth with an infidel? Wherefore come out from among them, 
 and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; 
 and I will receive you, and will be a Father unto you, and ye shall 
 be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. 2 Cor. 6 : 
 14-18. 
 
 Antichrist Forbids. — Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in 
 the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to 
 seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils ; forbidding to marry, and 
 commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be 
 received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the 
 truth. 1 Tim. 4: 1,3. 
 
 " In the Lord." — 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. 1 Cor. 7 : 39. 
 
 PARENTS. 
 
 Owe Children to God. — For this child I prayed ; and the Lord 
 hath given me my petition which I asked of him : therefore also I 
 have lent him to the Lord ; as long as he liveth he shall be lent to 
 the Lord. And he worshipped the Lord there. 1 Sam. 1:27, 28. 
 
 Should Love Them. — That they may teach the young women to 
 be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children. Tit. 2 : 4. 
 
 Bring to Christ. — Then were there brought unto him little chil- 
 dren, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the 
 disciples rebuked them. But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and 
 forbid them not, to come unto me ; for of such is the kingdom of 
 heaven. And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence. 
 Matt. 19 : 13-15. 
 
 Train for God. — Train up a child in the way he should go: and 
 when he is old, he will not depart from it. Prov. 22 : 6. And, ye 
 fathers, provoke not your children to wrath : but bring them up in 
 the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Eph. 6 : 4. 
 
 Instruct in God's Word. — Therefore thou shalt love the Lord thy 
 God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and 
 his commandments, alway. And ye shall teach them your children, 
 speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou 
 walkest by the way, when thou best down, and when thou risest up. 
 Deut. 11 : 1,19. 
 
 Pity Them. — Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord 
 pitieth them that fear him. Psa. 103 : 13. 
 
 Provide for Them. — The children ought not to lay up for the

 parents, but the parents for the children. 2 Cor. 12: 14. But if 
 any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own 
 house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel. 
 1 Tim. s : 8. 
 
 Govern Them. — One that ruleth well his own house, having his 
 children in subjection with all gravity. 1 Tim. 3: 4. 
 
 Correct Faults. — Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not 
 thy soul spare for his crying. Prov. 19: 18. Correct thy son, and 
 he shall give thee rest ; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul. 
 Prov. 29 : 17. 
 
 Provoke Not. — Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest 
 they be discouraged. Col. 3: 21. 
 
 Righteous Blessed. — His seed shall be mighty upon earth : the 
 generation of the upright shall be blessed. Psa. 112 : 2. 
 
 Children Suffer foi Sins. — I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, 
 visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third 
 and fourth generation of them that hate me, and shewing mercy unto 
 thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments. Deut. 
 5: 9, 10. 
 
 Negligence Punished. — For I have told him that I will judge his 
 house for ever for the iniquity which he knoweth ; because his sons 
 made themselves vile, and he restrained them not. 1 Sam. 3 : 13. 
 
 ■ CHILDREN. 
 
 A Blessing. — The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice . 
 and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him. Thy father 
 and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bare thee shall rejoice. 
 Prov. 23 : 24, 25. 
 
 Gift of God. — Lo, children are a heritage of the Lord : and the 
 fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a 
 mighty man ; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that 
 hath his quiver full of them : they shall not be ashamed, but they 
 shall speak with the enemies in the gate. Psa. 127: 3-5. 
 
 Asked of God. — And Isaac entreated the Lord for his wife, because 
 she was barren : and the Lord was entreated of him, and Rebekah 
 his wife conceived. Gen. 25 : 21. 
 
 Honored by Christ. — Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not 
 receive the kingdom of God as a little child, shall in no wise enter 
 therein. Luke 18 : 17. 
 
 Christ an Example. — And he went down with them, and came to 
 Nazareth, and was subject unto them. . . . And Jesus increased in 
 wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man. Luke 2 : 
 
 5 J > 52. 
 
 Can Praise God. — And when the chief priests and scribes saw the 
 wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, 
 and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David ; they were sore displeased, 
 and said unto him, Hearest thou what these say ? And Jesus saith 
 unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and 
 sucklings thou hast perfected praise? Matt. 21 : 15, 16. 
 
 Should Fear God. — My son, fear thou the Lord. Prov. 24: 21. 
 
 Remember God. — Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy 
 youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when 
 thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them. Eccl. 12 : 1.

 grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck. Prov. 1 : 8, 9. 
 
 Honor Parents. — Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days 
 may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.

 Lev. 19 : 32. 
 
 Forsake Wicked Examples. — But I said unto their children in the 
 wilderness, Walk ye not in the statutes of your fathers, neither

 this is well pleasing unto the Lord. Col. 3 : 20.

 children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our 
 God shall call. Acts 2 : 39. 
 
 Shall be Blessed. — My son, forget not my law ; but let thine heart 
 keep my commandments: for length of days, and long life, and

 so shalt thou find favor and good understanding in the sight of God 
 and man. Prov. 3 : 1-4. 
 
 Submit to God. — Furthermore, we have had fathers of our flesh 
 which corrected us, and we gave them reverence ; shall we not much 
 rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live. Heb. 
 12 : 9. 
 
 Conversion is Childlike. — At the same time came the disciples 
 unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven ? 
 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of 
 them, and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and 
 become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of 
 heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little 
 child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoso 
 shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. Matt. 
 18: 1-5. 
 
 TIME AND ETERNITY: Life: Death: Resur- 
 rection: Last Judgment: Heaven: Hell. 
 
 TIME AND ETERNITY. 
 
 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under 
 the heaven : a time to be born, and a time to die ; a time to plant, 
 and a time to pluck up that which is planted ; a time to kill, and a 
 time to heal ; a time to break down, and a time to build up ; a time 
 to weep, and a time to laugh ; a time to mourn, and a time to dance ; 
 a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together ; a 
 time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing ; a time to 
 get, and a time to lose ; a time to keep, and a time to cast away ; a 
 time to rend, and a time to sew ; a time to keep silence, and a time 
 to speak ; a time to love, and a time to hate ; a time of war, and a 
 time of peace. What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he 
 laboreth? I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the 
 sons of men to be exercised in it. He hath made every thing beau- 
 tiful in his time : also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no 
 man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to 
 the end. I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to 
 rejoice, and to do good in his life. And also that every man should 
 eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labor ; it is the gift of 
 God. I know that, whatsoever 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. I said in mine heart, 
 God shall judge the righteous and the wicked : for there is a time 
 there for every purpose and for every work. All go unto one place ; 
 all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again. Who knoweth the 
 spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that 
 goeth downward to the earth ? Eccl.: 3. 
 
 LIFE. 
 
 God Preserves. — O Lord, thou preservest man and beast. Psa. 
 36: 6. 
 
 Is in God's Hand. — In whose hand is the soul of every living 
 thing, and the breath of all mankind. Job 12: 10. 
 
 Sanctity of Life. — Thou shalt not kill. Exod. 20 : 13. Whoso 
 sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed : for in the 
 image of God made he man. Gen. 9 : 6. 
 
 Life is Vain. — For who knoweth what is good for man in this life, 
 all 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? Eccl. 6:12. 
 
 Limited. — Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth? are 
 noth\s days also like the days of a hireling? Job 7 : 1. 
 
 Uncertain. — Go to now, ye that say, To-day or to-morrow we will 
 go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy, and sell, and 
 get gain : whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For 
 what is your life ? It is even a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, 
 and then vanisheth away. For that ye ought to say, If the Lord 
 will, we shall live, and do this, or that. Jas. 4: 13-15.

 Full of Trouble. — Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and 
 full of trouble. Job 14: 1. 
 
 Its Value. — And Satan answered the Lord, and said, Skin for 
 skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life. Job 2 : 4. 
 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye 
 shall eat, or what ye shall drink ; nor yet for your body, what ye 
 shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than 
 raiment? Matt. 6 : 25. 
 
 Preserved by Discretion. — He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his 
 life : but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction. Prov. 
 
 l 3- 3- 
 
 Prolonged by Prayer. — And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, 
 
 and the Lord shall raise him up ; and if he have committed sins, 
 
 they shall be forgiven him. Jas. 5 : 15. 
 
 Piety Sustains. — That thou mayest love the Lord thy God, and 
 that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto 
 him : for he is thy life, and the length of thy days : that thou mayest 
 dwell in the land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers. Deut. 
 30 : 20. 
 
 Filial Obedience Lengthens. — Honor thy father and thy mother: 
 that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God 
 giveth thee. Exod. 20: 12. 
 
 Avoid Beguilements. — And take heed to yourselves, lest at any 
 time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, 
 and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. 
 Luke 21 : 34. 
 
 Saints Truly Enjoy. — Blessed is every one that feareth the Lord ; 
 that walketh in his ways. For thou shalt eat the labor of thine 
 hands : happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee. Psa. 
 128 : 1, 2. 
 
 Saints Protected. — And who is he that will harm you, if ye be 
 followers of that which is good? 1 Pet. 3 : 13. 
 
 Wicked Have Good Now. — But woe unto you that are rich ! for ye 
 have received your consolation. Woe unto you that are full ! for ye 
 shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now ! for ye shall mourn 
 and weep. Luke 6 : 24, 25. 
 
 To Be Given to God.— And if ye call on the Father, who without 
 respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the 
 time of your sojourning here in fear: for as much as ye know ye 
 were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold. 
 1 Pet. 1 : 17, 18. 
 
 Its Swift Passage. — Now my days are swifter than a post: they 
 flee away, they see no good. They are past away as the swift ships : 
 as the eagle that hasteth to the prey. Job 9 : 25, 26. 
 
 Like a Pilgrimage. — And Jacob said unto Pharoah, The days of 
 the years of my pilgrimage are a hundred and thirty years : few and 
 evil have the days of the years of my life been, and have not attained 
 unto the days of the years of the life of my lathers in the days of 
 their pilgrimage. Gen. 47 : 9. 
 
 Its Brevity. — We spend our years as a tale that is told. The days 
 of our years are threescore and ten ; and if by reason of strength 
 they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labor and sorrow; for it 
 is soon cut off, and we fly away. Psa. 90 : 9, 10. 
 
 As a Handbreadth. — Behold, thou hast made my days as a hand- 
 breadth ; and mine age is as nothing before thee : verily every man 
 at his best estate is altogether vanity. Psa. 39 : 5. 
 
 A Tent Removed. — Mine age is departed, and is removed from me 
 as a shepherd's tent. Isa. 38 : 12.

 A Thread Cut. — I have cut off like a weaver my life: he will cut 
 me off with pining sickness : from day even to night wilt thou make 
 an end of me. Isa. 38: 12. 
 
 A Flower. — He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down : he 
 fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not. Job 14: 2. 
 
 Grass. — For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the 
 flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth 
 away : but the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is 
 the word which by the gospel is preached unto you. 1 Pet. 1 : 
 24, 25. 
 
 Water Spilt. — For we must needs die, and are as water spilt on 
 die ground, which cannot be gathered up again, neither doth God 
 respect any person : yet doth he devise means, that his banished be 
 not expelled from him. 2 Sam. 14: 14. 
 
 Its True Wisdom. — So teach us to number our days, that we may 
 apply our hearts unto wisdom. Psa. 90: T2. 
 
 Life Eternal. — And this is life eternal, that they might know thee 
 the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent. John 
 17: 3- 
 
 DEATH. 
 
 By Adam. — In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou 
 return unto the ground ; for out of it wast thou taken : for dust thoa 
 art, and unto dust shalt thou return. Gen. 3 : 19. 
 
 Because of Sin. — Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the 
 world, and death by sin ; and so death passed upon all men, for that 
 all have sinned. Rom. 5: 12. 
 
 Lot of All. — 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 discharge in thai war ; neither shall wickedness deliver 
 those that are given to it. Eccl. 8 : 8. 
 
 Ordered by God. — See now that I, even I am he, and there is no 
 God with me. I kill, and I make alive ; I wound, and I heal ; 
 neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand. Deut. 32 : 39. 
 
 Stops All Labors. — Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with 
 thy might ; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor 
 wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest. Eccl. 9 : 10. 
 
 Strips of Possessions. — Naked came I out of my mother's womb, 
 and naked shall I return thither : the Lord gave, and the Lord hath 
 taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord. Job 1 : 21. F01 
 we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry 
 nothing out. 1 Tim. 6 : 7. 
 
 Makes All Equal. — There the wicked cease from troubling; and 
 there the weary be at rest. There the prisoners rest together ; they 
 hear not the voice of the oppressor. The small and great are there ;

 Conquered by Christ. — / am he that liveth, and was dead; and 
 behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen ; and have the keys of hell 
 and of death. Rev. 1 : 18. 
 
 Abolished by Christ. — Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, 
 and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. 
 2 Tim. 1 : 10. 
 
 To Be Destroyed. — I will ransom them from the power of the 
 grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy 
 plagues, O grave, I will be thy destruction. Hos. 13: 14. 
 
 Its Dread Overcome. — Forasmuch then as the children are par- 
 takers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of 
 the same ; that through death he might destroy him that had the 
 power of death, that is, the devil; and deliver them who through 
 fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. Heb. 2 : 
 
 14, 15- 
 
 Is at Hand. — He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down : he 
 
 fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not. Job 14: 2. Lord, 
 make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is, 
 that I may know how frail I am. O spare me, that I may recover 
 strength, before I go hence, and be no more. Psa. 39 : 4, 13. 
 
 Prompts to Diligence. — I must work the works of him that sent 
 me, while it is day : the night cometh, when no man can work. 
 John 9 : 4. 
 
 Averted, Claims Devotion. — Return unto thy rest, O my soul : for 
 the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee. For thou hast delivered 
 my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. 
 I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living. Psa. 116 : 7-9. 
 
 All To Be Raised.— And have hope toward God, which they 
 themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, 
 both of the just and unjust. Acts 24: 15. 
 
 None in Heaven. — And God shall wipe away all tears from their 
 eyes ; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, 
 neither shall there be any more pain : for the former things are 
 passed away. Rev. 21 : 4. 
 
 Illustrates Conversion. — How shall we, that are dead to sin, live 
 any longer therein ? Know ye not, that so many of us as were 
 baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore 
 we are buried with him by baptism into death ; that like as Christ 
 was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we 
 also should walk in newness of life. Rom. 6 : 2-4. 
 
 Called A Sleep. — And the Lord said unto Moses, Behold, thou 
 shalt sleep with thy fathers. Deut. 31 : 16. Our friend Lazarus 
 sleepeth ; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep. John n: 11. 
 
 Earthly Tabernacle Dissolved. — For we know that, if our earthly 
 house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God. 
 a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 Cor. 5 : 1.

 off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed 
 lie. 2 Pet. 1 : 14.

 Departing. — For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to 
 depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: nevertheless to 
 abide in the flesh is more needful for you. Phil. 1 : 23, 24. 
 
 Sin Bringeth Death. — Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth 
 forth sin; and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. Jas.

 Death of Saints Is Blessed. — And I heard a voice from heaven 
 saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord 
 from henceforth : Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their

 A Resurrection. — And many of them that sleep in the dust of the 
 earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and 
 everlasting contempt. Dan. 12: 2. 
 
 THE RESURRECTION. 
 
 In the Old Testament. — And though after my skin worms destroy 
 this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God : whom I shall see for 
 myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another ; though my 
 veins be consumed within me. Job 19: 26, .27. But God will 
 redeem my soul from the power of the grave : for he shall receive 
 me. Selah. Psa. 49: 15. Thy dead men shall live, together with 
 my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in 
 dust : for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out 
 the dead. Isa. 26 : 19. And many of them that sleep in the dust of 
 the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame 
 and everlasting contempt. And they that be wise shall shine as the 
 brightness of the firmament ; and they that turn many to righteous- 
 ness, as the stars for ever and ever. Dan. 12 : 2. 
 
 First in the Gospel. — Therefore leaving the principles of the 
 doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection : not laying again 
 the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward 
 God, of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and 
 of resurrection of the dead, and ol eternal judgment. Heb. 6: 1, 2. 
 
 Expected by the Jews. — Martha Said unto him, I know that he shall 
 rise again in the resurrection of the last day. Jesus said unto her, 1 
 am the resurrection, and the life : he that believeth in me, though he 
 were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in 
 me shall never die. John 11: 24, 25. 
 
 Denied by the Sadducees. — For the Sadducees say that there is no 
 resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit : but the Pharisees confess 
 both. Acts 23 : 8. 
 
 Falsely Denied. — Who concerning the truth have erred, saying 
 that the resurrection is passed already ; and overthrow the faitli of 
 some. 2 Tim. 2 : 18. 
 
 Attested by Christ's. — Now if Christ be preached that he rose 
 from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrec- 
 tion of the dead ? But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then 
 is Christ not risen : and if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching 
 vain, and your faith is also vain. Yea, and we are found false 
 witnesses of God ; because we have testified of God that he raised 
 up Christ; whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not. 
 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised : and if Christ be 
 not raised, your faith is vain ; ye are yet in your sins. Then they 
 also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. If in this life 
 only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. 
 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first-fruits of 
 them that slept. For since by man came death, by man came also 
 the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in 
 Christ shall all be made alive. 1 Cor. 15 : 12-22. 
 
 Is Not Incredible. — Why should it be thought a thing incredible 
 with you that God should raise the dead? Acts 26 : 8. 
 
 Is Reasonable. — Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of 
 wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone : but if it die, it 
 bringeth forth much fruit. John 12: 24. But some man will say, 
 How are the dead raised up ? and with what body do they come ? 
 Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die : 
 and that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, 
 but bare grain ; it may chance of wheat or of some other grain : but 
 God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his 
 own body. All flesh is not the same flesh ; but there is one kind of 
 flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another 
 of birds. There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial : but 
 the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is 
 another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the 
 moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differeth from 
 another star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is 
 sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption : it is sown in dis- 
 honor, it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness, it is raised in 
 power : it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. 
 There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. And so it is 
 written, The first man Adam was made a living soul, the last Adam 
 was made a quickening spirit. The first man is of the earth, earthy : 
 the second man is the Lord from heaven. 1 Cor. 15 : 35-47. 
 
 Testimony of Jesus. — But as touching the resurrection of the dead, 
 have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, 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. Matt. 
 22: 31, 32. Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the 
 which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and shall come 
 forth ; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life ; and 
 they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. John 
 5 : 28, 29. 
 
 Taught by Apostles. — And as they spake unto the people, the 
 priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon 
 them, being grieved that they taught the people, and preached 
 through Jesus the resurrection from the dead. Acts 4: 1, 2. And 
 have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there 
 shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust. 
 Acts 24: 15. 
 
 Its Credibility Shown. — And the graves were opened ; and many 
 bodies of the saints which slept arose, and came out of the graves 
 after his resurrection, and went into the holy. city r , and appeared unto 
 many. Matt. 27 : 52, 53. And he came and touched the bier: and 
 they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto 
 thee, Arise. And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak.

 And he delivered him to his mother. Luke 7 : 14, 15. And when 
 he had thus spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. 
 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with 
 grave clothes, and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus 
 saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go. John n: 43, 44. 
 Women received their dead raised to life again : and others were 
 tortured, not accepting deliverance ; that they might obtain a better 
 resurrection. Heb. 11: 35. 
 
 By God's Power. — Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, 
 not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God. Matt. 22 : 29. 
 
 By Christ's Power. — And this is the will of him that sent me, that 
 every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have 
 everlasting life : and I will raise him up at the last day. John 
 6 : 40. 
 
 Saints Rise First. — For the Lord himself shall descend from 
 heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the 
 trump of God : and the dead in Christ shall rise first. 1 Thes. 
 4 : 16. 
 
 Glorified with Christ. — When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, 
 then shall ye also appear with him in glory. Col. 3 : 4. 
 
 Bodies Like Christ's. — For our conversation is in heaven; from 
 whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ : who 
 shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his 
 glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to 
 subdue all things unto himself. Phil. 3 : 20, 21. 
 
 Saints Should Await. — But go thy way till the end be: for thou 
 shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days. Dan. 12 : 13. 
 
 Assurance of the Judgment. — He hath appointed a day, in the 
 which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he 
 hath ordained ; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that 
 he hath raised him from the dead. Acts 17 : 31. 
 
 THE LAST JUDGMENT. 
 
 Predicted. — Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the 
 presence of the Lord, because he cometh to judge the earth. 
 1 Chron. 16: 33. But the Lord shall endure for ever: he hath 
 prepared his throne for judgment. And he shall judge the world in 
 righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in upright- 
 ness. Psa. 9:7. I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous 
 and the wicked : for there is a time there for every purpose and for 
 every work. Eccl. 3: 17. 
 
 The Time Unknown. — But of that day and that hour knoweth no 
 man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but 
 the Father. Take ye heed, watch and pray : for ye know not when 
 the time is. Mark 13 : 32, 33. 
 
 Day of Wrath. — But after thy hardness and impenitent heart, 
 treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revela- 
 tion of the righteous judgment of God ; who will render to every 
 man according to his deeds. Rom. 2 : 5,6. 
 
 Day of Perdition. — But the heavens and the earth, which are now, 
 by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day 
 of" judgment and perdition of ungodly men. 2 Pet. 3 : 7. 
 
 Administered by Christ. — For the Father judgeth no man, but 
 hath committed all judgment unto the Son : and hath given him 
 authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. 
 John 5 : 22, 27. For we must all appear before the judgment-seat 
 of Christ ; that every one may receive the things done in his body 
 according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. 2 Cor. 
 5: 10. 
 
 The Saints Judging. — Do ye not know that the saints shall judge 
 the world? Know ye not that ye shall judge angels? how much 
 more things that pertain to this life? 1 Cor. 6 : 2, 3. 
 
 At Christ's Coming. — When the Son of man shall come in his 
 glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the 
 throne of his glory : and before him shall be gathered all nations : 
 and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth 
 his sheep from the goats. Matt. 25 : 31,32. 
 
 Of the Heathen, by Conscience. — For as many as have sinned 
 without law shall also perish without law. . . . For when the 
 Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained 
 in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves : 
 which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their con- 
 science also bearing Avitness, and their thoughts the meanwhile 
 accusing or else excusing one another. Rom. 2 : 12, 14, 15. 
 
 Of Jews, by Moses' Law. — And as many as have sinned in the 
 law shall be judged by the law ; for not the hearers of the law are 
 
 just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. Rom 
 2: 12, 13. 
 
 Of Christians, by the Gospel. — So speak ye, and so do, as thej 
 that shall be judged by the law of liberty. Jas. 2 : 12. 
 
 Upon All Men. — And as it is appointed unto men once to die, 
 but after this the judgment. Heb. 9: 27. God, the Judge of all. 
 Heb. 12 : 23. 
 
 Small and Great. — And I saw the dead, small and great, stand 
 before God ; and the books were opened : and another book was 
 opened, which is the book of life : and the dead were judged out of 
 those things which were written in the books, according to their 
 works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it ; and death 
 and hell delivered up the dead which were in them : and they were 
 judged every man according to their works. Rev. 20: 12, 13. 
 
 Quick and Dead. — I charge thee therefore before God, and the 
 Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his 
 appearing and his kingdom. 2 Tim. 4: 1. 
 
 In Righteousness. — Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills 
 be joyful together before the Lord ; for he cometh to judge the 
 earth : with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people 
 with equity. Psa. 98: 8, 9. 
 
 Of All Actions. — Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let 
 thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways 
 of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes : but know thou, that 
 for all these things God will bring thee into judgment. Eccl. 11:9. 
 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret 
 thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. Eccl. 12 : 14. 
 
 Words. — Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousand of his saints, 
 to execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly 
 among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly 
 committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners 
 have spoken against him. Jude : 14,15. 
 
 Thoughts. — Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the 
 Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of dark- 
 ness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts; and then 
 shall every man have praise of God. 1 Cor. 4: 5. 
 
 None are Innocent. — If thou. Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O 
 Lord, who shall stand? Psa. 130 : 3. And enter not into judgment 
 with thy servant : for in thy sight shall no man living be justified. 
 Psa. 143 : 2. 
 
 Christ Upholds Saints. — Who shall lay any thing to the charge of 
 God's elect? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? 
 It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at 
 the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Rom.. 
 
 8: 33> 34- 
 
 Christ Rejects Wicked. — He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not 
 my words, hath one that judgeth him : the word that I have spoken, 
 the same shall judge him in the last day. John 1 2 : 48. 
 
 Love Gives Boldness. — Herein is our love made perfect, that we 
 may have boldness in the day of judgment : because as he is, so are 
 we in this world. There is no fear in love ; but perfect love casteth 
 out fear : because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made 
 perfect in love. 1 John 4: 17, 18. 
 
 Christ Acknowledges Saints. — And he shall set the sheep on his 
 right hand, but the goats on the left. Then shall the King say unto 
 them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the 
 kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world : For I 
 was a hungered, and ye gave me meat : I was thirsty, and ye gave 
 me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: naked, and ye 
 clothed me : I was sick, and ye visited me : I was in prison, and ye 
 came unto me. . . . Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have 
 done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done // 
 unto me. Matt. 25 : 33-36, 40. 
 
 Christ Condemns the Wicked. — Then shall he say also unto them 
 on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, 
 prepared for the devil and his angels : For I was a hungered, and ye 
 gave me no meat : I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink : 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. .... Verily I say unto 
 you, Inasmuch as ye did it not unto one of the least of these, ye did 
 ;Vnot to me. Matt. 25 : 41-43, 45. 
 
 Punishments and Rewards. — As therefore the tares are gathered 
 and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. The 
 Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of 
 his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity ; and 
 shall cast them into a furnace of fire : there shall be wailing and 
 gnashing of teeth. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun

 in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him 
 hear. Matt. 13: 40-43. And these shall go away into everlasting 
 punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. Matt. 25 : 46. 
 
 Its Decisions Final. — He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: 
 and he which 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. 
 And behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give 
 every man according as his works shall be. Rev. 22 : 11, 12. 
 
 Devils To Be Condemned. — For if God spared not the angels that 
 sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of 
 darkness, to be reserved unto judgment. 2 Pet. 2 : 4. And the 
 angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, 
 he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judg- 
 ment of the great day. Jude : 6. 
 
 HEAVEN. 
 
 Created by God. — In the beginning God created the heaven and 
 the earth. Gen. 1 : 1. The heavens declare the glory of God ; and 
 the firmament sheweth his handy work. Psa. 19 : 1. 
 
 Everlasting. — For we know that, if our earthly house of this 
 tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, a house not 
 made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 Cor. 5 : 1. 
 
 Immeasurable. — Thus saith the Lord ; 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 that they have done, 
 saith the Lord. Jer. 31 : 37. 
 
 High and Holy. — For thus saith the high and lofty One that 
 inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and

 revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the con- 
 trite ones. Isa. 57 : 15.

 temples made with hands; as saith the prophet, Heaven is my 
 throne, and earth is my footstool : what house will ye build me ? 
 saith the Lord : or what is the place of my rest? Acts 7 : 48, 49. 
 
 God is Lord Of. — At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank 
 thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid 
 these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto 
 babes. Matt. 11 : 25. 
 
 God Reigns In. — Whatsoever the Lord pleased, that did he in 
 heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places. Psa. 135 : 6. 
 
 God Fills. — But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the 
 heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee : howjmich less 
 this house that I have builded? 1 Kings 8 : 27. 
 
 God Answers From. — Now know I that the Lord saveth his 
 anointed ; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving 
 strength of his right hand. Psa. 20: 6. 
 
 Judgments Sent From. — The adversaries of the Lord shall be 
 broken to pieces ; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them : the 
 Lord shall judge the ends of the earth ; and he shall give strength 
 unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed. 1 Sam. 2 : 10. 
 
 Christ Entered as Mediator. — Neither by the blood of goats and 
 calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, 
 having obtained eternal redemption for us. For Christ is not 
 entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures 
 of the true ; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of 
 God for us. Heb. 9 : 12,24. 
 
 Prepares a Place In. — I go to prepare a place for you. And if I

 of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, and to Jesus the 
 mediator of the new covenant. Heb. 12: 22-24. 
 
 Saints Rewarded In. — Rejoice, and be exceeding glad : for great 
 is your reward in heaven.- Matt. 5 : 12. To an inheritance incor- 
 ruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven 
 
 for you, who are kept by the power of God through faith unto 
 salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 1 Pet. 1 : 4, 5.

 yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that 
 faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth. 
 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Luke 1 2 : 
 
 33> 34- 
 
 Flesh Cannot Inherit. — Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and 
 blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God ; neither doth corruption 
 inherit incorruption. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, 
 and this mortal must put on immortality. 1 Cor. 15 : 50, 53. 
 
 Happiness Of. — These are they which came out of great tribula- 
 tion, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood 
 of the Lamb. Therefore are they before the throne of God, and 
 serve him day and night in his temple : and he that sitteth on the 
 throne shall dwell among them. They shall hunger no more, 
 neither thirst any more ; neither shall the sun light on them, nor 
 any heat. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall 
 feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of water: and 
 God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. Rev. 7 : 14-17.

 The Kingdom. — 'For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor 
 unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any 
 inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Eph. 5 : 5.

 were not so, I would have told you. John 14: 2.

 12 : 2, 4. 
 
 The Wicked Excluded. — Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revel- 
 lings, and such like : of the which I tell you before, as I have also 
 told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not 
 inherit the kingdom of God. Gal. 5 : 21. 
 
 The New Heaven. — And I saAv a new heaven and a new earth : for 
 the first heaven and the first earth were passed away ; and there was 
 no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming 
 down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her 
 husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, 
 the tabernacle of God is with men, and they shall be his people, and 
 God himself shall be with them, and be their God. Rev. 21 : 1-3.

 of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his 
 indignation ; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in

 and the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever : and 
 they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, 
 and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Rev. 14: 10, n. 
 
 Everlasting Fire. — Then shall he say also unto them on the left 
 hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for 
 the devil and his angels. Matt. 25: 41. 
 
 Everlasting Punishment. — And these shall go away into ever- 
 lasting punishment. Matt. 25 : 46. 
 
 Everlasting Burnings. — The sinners in Zion are afraid ; fearful- 
 ness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with 
 the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting 
 burnings? Isa. 33: 14. 
 
 Furnace of Fire. — As therefore the tares are gathered and burned 
 in the fire ; so shall it be in the end of this world. . . . The angels 
 shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, and 
 shall cast them into the furnace of fire : there shall be wailing and 
 gnashing of teeth. Matt. 13: 40, 49, 50. 
 
Various Specimens of Ancient Manuscripts. 
 
 The Septuagint, or seventy, is the oldest version of the Old Testament. It was written 
 in Greek, at Alexandria, probably about the third century before Christ; was the parent of 
 the first Latin, the Coptic, and other versions; was written on vellum, dated the fifth century,

 This specimen of the Codex Sinaiticus was dis- 
 covered in the Convent on Mount Sinai, and clearly 
 belongs to the sixth century, but is apparently a 
 copy of one belonging to about the fourth century. 
 In addition to the Old and New Testaments, it con- 
 tains the Gospel and Epistle of Barnabas, as also 
 the Epistle of Hennas. Of the Gospel, fragments 
 are furnished in a palimpsest manuscript, belonging 
 to the German library of Wolfen-buttel, in which a 
 modern text has been written over the somewhat 
 scraped ancient Greek letters — these latter being more 
 or less discernible. 
 
 The Ancient Hebrew, employed about the time 
 of Gamaliel II., the instructor of St. Paul, and 
 President of the Great Sanhedrim, is here shown. 
 It is from a grave-stone, in the Crimea, bearing 
 date A. D. 6. The various characters, or letters, 
 are similar to those found on the Maccabean, and 
 other coins, from B. C. 139 to A. D. 130. There 
 can be no doubt as to the correctness of the letters 
 employed in this specimen.

 This sample of Ancient Hebrew is a very superior one ofthe art of writing in former times. It was 
 discovered at the Convent on the Natron Lakes, Egypt, and is dated A. D. 550. The numerous col- 
 lections of palimpsest manuscripts in existence fully establish the fact that very many old books have 
 been lost through the expensiveness of all kinds of writing materials, anciently, such as skins, 
 parchment, linen, vellum and papyrus. 
 
 Doubtless, persons — having no con- 
 ception ofthe value that later genera- 
 tions would place upon records bear- 
 ing upon the religious writings of 
 ancient authorities — frequently availed 
 themselves of materials, from econom- 
 ical motives, the preservation of the 
 original character of which would have 
 proved of incalculable importance. 
 
 The manuscript from which this is taken is in the 
 Vatican Library at Rome. It dates from the fourth 
 century, and, with the exception of a few leaves, 
 either lost or destroyed, furnishes the whole Bible.

 EASTERN MANNERS AND CUSTOMS, 
 
 IN "WHICH ARE DETAILED THE MOST ATTRACTIVE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES IN REGARD TO PRIVATE, DOMESTIC, SOCIAL 
 
 AND PUBLIC LIFE AMONG THE ANCIENTS. 
 
 Many passages of the Bible cannot be fully understood without a 
 knowledge of the peculiar customs of the people of the East, as it is 
 from thence that much of the sacred' imagery derives its boldness 
 and its fidelity to life. " In the East," says a celebrated traveller, 
 " they are constant in all things : the habits are at this day in the 
 
 same manner as in the pre- 
 cedent ages ; so that one may 
 reasonably belive, that in 
 that part of the world the 
 exterior forms of things (as 
 their manners and customs) 
 are the same now as they 
 were two thousand years 
 since,- except in such changes 
 as may have been introduced 
 by religion, which are never- 
 ancient ornaments. theless very inconsiderable. ' ' 
 
 Therefore in the following pages free use has been made of many 
 interesting passages in travels, which serve to make clearer many 
 Scriptural allusions. 
 
 The wandering Arab tribes of the present day dwell in tents 
 somewhat similiar to those of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. If 
 possible, these are pitched near the shade of a tree (Gen. 18:4. 
 
 ARAB tents. 
 
 The larger tents are divided into three apartments, the inner 
 of which is given to the women, and the outer to the servants, 
 with the young of the herds. Like all the nomadic races, the 
 Israelites were tent-dwellers and keepers of cattle till their return 
 into Canaan from Egypt. At first tents were built out of skins 
 stretched upon poles, but linen was afterwards substituted ; and 
 their lightness enabled them to be easily moved from place 
 to place. "Often," 
 says M'Cheyne, "we 
 found ourselves shelter- 
 less before being full 
 dressed. What a type 
 of the tent is our 
 bodies ! Ah, how often 
 is it taken down be- 
 fore the soul is made 
 meet for the inheri- 
 tance of the saints in 
 light." " Mine age is 
 departed and removed 
 from me like a shep- 
 herd's tent." Isa. 38: 
 12. " These tents are 
 kept firm and steady 
 by bracing or stretch- 
 ing down their eyes 
 with cords tied down 
 to hooked pins, well 
 pointed, which they 
 drive into the ground 
 with a. mallet ; one 
 of these pins answering 
 to the nail, as the mal- 
 let does to the ham- 
 mer which Jael used 
 in fastening to the 
 ground the temples 
 of Sisera. Judg. 5 : 26. Our constant practice was to rise at 
 break of day, set forward with the sun, and travel till the middle 
 of the afternoon." — (Dr. Shaw.) " Behold the day groweth 
 to an end. It is the pitching time of the day." Judg. 19: 9. 
 When the ground will permit, an Arab camp is always circular 
 in form, and removed at a respectful distance from the central lent 
 of the chief: "Saul lay in the trench and the people pitched 
 round about him." 1 Sam. 26: 5. It was foretold of the Arab :

 BEDOUINS IM THE DESERT. 
 
 
ILLUSTRATED CYCLOPEDIA OF THE BIBLE. 
 
 " His hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against 
 him." Gen. 1 6: 12. The descendants of Ishmael are always at war 
 with the rest of the world, being robbers by land and pirates at sea. 
 Mr. Heade says : "The man that is honest beyond the powers of 
 corruption in the relations of private life, is a robber by profession 
 towards every one he meets abroad : the expression is only changed 
 and his conscience is satisfied. ' I gained this captive and this wealth 
 in the desert of our ancestors,' says this freebooter on his return. 
 ' I gained it, God be praised, in the desert, which is mine, and which 
 God, he is great, bestowed with all that is in it, on my father Ishmael 
 and his posterity. Js/iallah, God being willing, I shall gain more 
 when this is gone. The desert is my inheritance.' " Yet no nation 
 has ever been able to subdue them, or to hold more than the borders 
 of their wilderness. Jeremiah forcibly compares Israel, eager to 
 pollute herself with idols, to the vigilance of the preying Arabs: 
 "In the ways hast thou sat for them, as the Arabian in the wilder- 
 ness." All these pastoral wanderers, like Abraham, seat themselves 
 " in the tent door in the heat of the day." Gen. 18 : 1, 2. 
 
 AN EGYPTIAN HOUSE.

 ANCIENT EGYPTIAN DOORS AND HINGES. 
 
 the worship of idols, and permanent houses for the wealthy residents. 
 The higher classes oversaw their fields and gardens, diverted them- 
 selves with hunting and fishing, and left the tending of their cattle 
 to shepherds whom they despised. Ancient writers say some of these 
 luxurious dwellings were four to five stories in height. Like all 
 Egyptian structures, these were built with great solidity. While 
 Joseph's mansion could only have been inferior in splendor to the 
 royal palace of Pharaoh, the poor lived in mere huts of mud, or 
 sunburnt bricks. 
 
 The engraving illustrates the saying of Solomon : "As the door 
 turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed." Prov. 
 26 : 14. As metal hinges were then unknown, these pivots had their 
 corresponding sockets ; and as the weight of the door rested on its 
 lower pivot, it was all the more difficult to move. As the door only 
 moved upon compulsion, so also the sluggard on his bed. 
 
 Ancient locks and keys, often made of wood, were also clumsy in 
 form. The key was crooked in shape like a sickle, and because of 
 its large size was often carried on the shoulder. As this was an en- 
 sign of power and authority, Isaiah prophesied of the Messiah : "And 
 the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder ; so he 
 shall open, and none shall shut ; and he shall shut, and none shall 
 open. And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place." Isa. 22 : 
 22, 23. Chardin states: " They do not drive with a hammer the 
 nails that are put into the Eastern walls ; the walls are too hard, being 
 of brick, or if they are clay, too mouldering ; but they fix them in 
 the brick-work as they are built. They are large nails with square 
 heads, like dice well made ; the ends being bent so as to make them 
 cramp-irons. They commonly place them at the windows and doors, 
 in order to hang upon them, when they like, veils and curtains."

 ORIENTAL HOUSE. 
 
 ITS GROUND-PLAN. 
 
 The houses of Palestine appear to have been low huts when Israel 
 dispossessed the Canaanites ; but, in the lifetime of Christ, the dwell- 
 ings of the rich and powerful were splendid stone edifices. To 
 secure privacy, these were built in the form of a hollow square, having 
 an open court-yard in the centre, and into this all the casements of 
 the house opened. These courts were paved, planted with choice 
 shrubbery or trees, and of- 
 ten adorned with fountains. 
 An awning was overhung 
 to keep off the sun or the 
 rain, and it could be folded 
 or unrolled at pleasure. 
 To this David probably al- 
 ludes : ' ' Who spreadest out 
 the heavens like a curtain. ' ' 
 The outer gate was always 
 kept shut, and guarded by 
 a porter (Acts 12 : 13) ; on 
 it were inscribed the words 
 of Moses, Deut. 6:9; 11 : 
 Most strangers were

 not permitted to pass beyond the porch, and from this a stairway led 
 to the upper floors. This court was usually the reception-room when 
 many guests were to be entertained, and in such were delivered many 
 of the Saviour's discourses. The peculiar construction of the Philis- 
 tine house whose overtoppling by Samson (Judg. 16: 26-30) slew 
 over three thousand men and women, was thus described by a great 
 architect, Sir Christopher Wren : "In considering what this fabric 
 must be that could at one pull be demolished, I conceive it was an

 cedar pillars in the middle. A pillar would not be sufficient to unite 
 the ends of at least one hundred beams that tended to the centre ; 
 therefore I say there must be a short architrave resting upon two pil- 
 lars, upon which all the beams tending to the centre of the amphi- 
 theatre might be supported. Now if Samson, by his miraculous 
 strength pressing upon one of these pillars, moved it from its base, 
 the whole roof must of necessity fall." 
 
 HOUSE-TOP AND BATTLEMENTS. 
 
 Despite many features of luxurious culture and civilization, the 
 Hebrews owned no kitchens, and had no chimneys for the escape of 
 smoke. Glass was likewise unknown, and in winter their latticed 
 
 casements were covered with thin veils, or had valves for admitting 
 light. These lattices could be uplifted when desired, so as to allow 
 cool breezes to enter the house. This Hebrew term some- 
 times denotes a network placed before a window or balcony; 
 probably by falling through such a one on his roof Ahaziah 
 received his death wound (2 Kings 1 : 2), and similarly 
 Eutychus was thrown to the ground. Acts 20 : 9. 
 
 In the East, house roofs are always flat, being formed of 
 earth, or a hard flooring of asphaltum. In Persia, "the 
 houses are invariably roofed, or rather thatched, with a thick 
 covering of turf sod, in which trees sometimes take root and 
 grow : and hay is almost always gathered from the roofs of 
 the houses. We have seen lambs turned for pasture upon 
 the tops of their houses, after the grass has been mown ; 
 so that it may be fairly said they mow the tops of their 
 houses, and then turn their cattle on for the after-grass." 
 In Palestine the herbs, or spears of wheat or barley, that 
 sprang up, were apt to be soon burnt up by the sun ; hence 
 the prayer of David against the wicked : "Let them be as 
 the grass upon the house-tops, which withereth afore it grow- 
 eth up : wherewith the mower filleth not his hand ; nor he 
 that bindeth sheaves his bosom." Psa. 129: 6, 7. A 
 balustrade or latticed work encircled the borders of the 
 roof looking down into the court-yard, in obedience to the 
 law of Moses, " that thou bring not blood upon thine house, 
 if any man fall from thence." Deut. 22: 8. The removal 
 of this battlement, or railing, was the uncovering of the 
 roof, the letting down through the tiling, recorded in Mark 
 2:4; Luke 5: 19. On these roofs the people walked in 
 the cool of the evening, prayed, mourned, sacrificed, and 
 slept in summer nights. " It has ever been a custom with 
 them, equally connected with health and pleasure, to pass 
 the night, in summer, upon the house-tops, which for this 
 very purpose are made flat, and divided from each other by 
 walls. We found this way of sleeping extremely agreeable, 
 as we thereby enjoyed the cool air, above the reach of gnats and 
 vapors, without any other cover than the canopy of the heavens, 
 which unavoidably presents itself in different pleasing forms upon 
 every interruption of rest, when silence and solitude strongly dis- 
 posed the mind to contemplation." "And they rose early, and it 
 came to pass about the spring of the day, that Samuel called Saul to 
 {on) the top of the house, saying, Up, that I may send thee away." 
 1 Sam. 9: 26. Tiles of unburnt clay were the materials of 
 houses for the poor, and by their fragility was illustrated the 
 frailty of "them that dwell in houses of clay, whose founda- 
 tion is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth ; they 
 are destroyed from morning to evening." Job 4: 19, 20 ; also 
 Matt. 7 : 24-27. 
 
 Around the whole 
 of the open court ex- 
 tended spacious cham- 
 bers. At the upper end 
 of these, and along 
 their sides, was an 
 elevated platform or 
 divan. Lady Montague 
 thus describes Turk- 
 ish apartments : " The 
 rooms are all spread 
 with Persian carpets, 
 and raised at one end 
 of them about two feet. 
 
 This is the sofa, which is laid with a richer sort of carpet, 
 and all round it a sort of couch, raised half a foot, covered 
 with rich silk, according to the fancy or magnificence of the 
 owner. Round about this are placed, standing against the 
 wall, two raised cushions, the first very large, and the rest little 
 ones. These seats are so convenient and easv, that I believe I 
 shall never endure chairs again as long as I live." A special 
 bedstead, consisting of a portable frame occasionally highly 
 ornamented, was sometimes used ; yet to many the divan 
 served both for a seat by day and a couch at night. Its usual 
 covering was a mat or quilt; over this in cool weather was 
 spread a finer quilt, while in summer a thin blanket, or the 
 outer day garment of the sleeper, sufficed. To this Moses thus mer- 
 cifully alluded : "And if the man be poor, thou shalt not sleep with 
 his pledge : in any case thou shalt deliver him the pledge again when

 God." Deut. 24: 12, 13. The pillow seems to have been made 
 of sheep's fleece, or goat's skin, stuffed with cotton. In the mention 
 
 of the little room built 
 for Elisha by the Shu- 
 nammites, is given the 
 ordinary furniture of a 
 bedchamber: "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 com- 
 eth to us, that he shall 
 turn in thither." 2 
 Kings 4: 10. Such 
 private rooms, often 
 built over the porch 
 or gateway, communi- 
 cated with the gallery 
 of the house. Of like 
 character were the sum- 
 mer-parlor of Eglon (Judg. 3 : 20) ; the gate-chamber where David 
 wept in secret for Absalom (2 Sam. 18 : 33); that upon whose terrace 
 Ahaz erected his altars (2 Kings 23: 12); and the closet for secret 
 prayer approved by Christ (Matt. 6 ■ 6). 
 
 The gates of Eastern cities were always places of great resort. 
 There the magistrates, or elders of the city, always assembled to 
 administer justice, and to transact all public affairs : " They shall not 
 be ashamed when they speak with the enemies in the gate." Psa. 
 127 : 5 ; Ruth 4:1. Such judgment-gates were, at times, built like 
 a square chamber with two doors, not directly opposite each other, 
 but on two adjoining sides, with seats on the other sides ; thus it was 
 that "David sat between the two gates." 2 Sam. 18: 24. "It is 
 a common custom in Persia that when a great man hath built a palace, 
 he treats his king and his grandees in it for several days ; then the 
 great gate of it is open : but when these festivities are over, they shut it 
 up never more to be open." A forcible illustration of Ezek. 44: 2 : 
 " Then said the Lord unto me, This gate shall be shut, it shall not 
 be opened, and no man shall enter in by it : because the Lord God 
 of Israel hath entered in by it, therefore it shall be shut. It is for the 
 prince." Guests invited to an ancient feast, could only enter through 
 a little wicket of the gate, which the porter guarded to prevent the 
 unbidden from rushing in. When all were gathered within, this wicket 
 was shut, and was not reopened. Hence the invitation of Christ to 
 enter in at the strait (narrow) gate — Himself (Matt. 7 : 13) ; and hence 
 the exclusion of the foolish virgins. Matt. 25: 10-13. The Arabs fre- 
 quently harassed people by riding into houses and stabling their horses 
 in the rooms ; therefore many built their entrances as low as three 
 feet. But the dignity of a man in power was shown by the height 
 of his gate. A lofty gate was one of the insignia of royalty. The 
 Scriptures eulogize the proud gates of Jerusalem and Zion. 1 Kings 
 6 : 34, 35. Solomon warned his people : " He that exalteth his gate 
 seeketh destruction." Prov. 17: 19. 
 
 The Hebrew term translated Inn, means " a lodging-place for. the 
 night ;" and in Exod. 4 : 24, it was merely the watering-place where 
 the caravan rested. Khans, for the shelter of caravans, were long 
 since established on frequented routes between towns. They were 
 walled buildings, having arcades along the sides for the animals, and 
 raised platforms for the guests. Travellers had generally to bring 
 their own food and fodder, but occasionally provisions were sold by

 the keepers in charge. Guest chambers, elevated several feet from 
 the ground, were built around the outer wall of the enclosure, and 
 the projecting floor of these formed the elevated platform or manger 
 from which the animals fed. This flooring was probably the manger 
 upon which the infant Jesus was laid, because all the rooms above 
 had been occupied by those able to pay a hire. — The virtue of hos- 
 pitality has ever been religiously practised in the East, and single

 travellers are always freely entertained with the best in store. Tav- 
 ernier relates in his travels : "We were not above a musket-shot from 
 Anna, when we met with a comely old man, who came up to me 
 and taking my horse by the bridk, 'Friend,' said he, 'come and 
 wash thy feet, and eat bread at my house. Thou art a stranger, and

 since I have met thee upon the road, never refuse me the favor which 
 I desire of thee.' We could not but choose go along with him to 
 his house, where he feasted us in the best manner he could, giving 
 us, over and above, barley for our horses; and for us he killed a 
 lamb and some hens." How exactly accordant is this scene with 
 the hospitality of Abraham and of Lot ! Gen. 18; 19. A stranger 
 with whom an Arab has broken bread and eaten salt, is regarded as 
 a countryman and brother by him and all his tribe. They lavish on 
 him every kind of respect, every proof of regard. If one can op- 
 pose this alliance to their rapacity, his baggage and his life are more 
 safe,. even in the midst of the desert, than during the first days of his 
 journey with the security of twenty hostages. Its violation by the 
 freebooting Bedouins is almost unheard of. Thus the Israelites felt 
 the unchangeableness of God's covenant with them in the command : 
 "With all thine offerings thou shalt offer salt." Lev. 2 : 13.

 Matt. 9:17. It was customary to treasure up tears in a little

 frequent use. These wells were kept covered, lest the wind-driven 
 sand should enter and choke them up. Gen. 29 : 2. At noon and 
 at sunset the stones were rolled away from their mouths, that the 
 flocks and herds might be watered, and the women of the neighbor- 
 hood draw their household supply. Maritas states : "When I was 
 here (at Ain, in Palestine) a young Arab woman at whose wedding 
 I had been present on the first day of our arrival at the village, came 
 hither to draw water. She was accompanied by some other women, 
 who were singing a song allusive to her marriage. When she arrived 
 at the well, she filled her vessel, after which the rest of the women 
 did the same. It is customary for women to do this not only in the 
 villages of Palestine, but likewise in those of Galilee, and other parts 
 of Syria." 
 
 A bottle was probably first made of the skin of an animal, which 
 was sewed up, leaving the projection of one limb simply closed with 
 a plug or string. Josh. 9:4. In time these became " old, rent,

 call it, "the gift of God." At this day, in journeying from 
 Egypt across Arabia, water is commonly conveyed in goat skins 
 artificially prepared ; but no skin can entirely prevent evapo- 
 ration. Ox hides are often converted into capacious sacks, 
 and properly seasoned with tar or oil. A pair of these is a 
 camel's load, and two answer for four persons as many days. 
 The water often becomes very nauseous, from the tar and mud 
 absorbed. It is a general custom in the caravan, states Burck- 
 hardt, " never to drink except when the whole caravan halts 
 for a few minutes 
 for that purpose. 
 The time of doing 
 this is, in the slave 
 caravans, about 
 nine o'clock in 
 the morning, and 
 twice during the 
 afternoon march, 
 namely about four 
 and six o'clock. 
 In the forenoon 
 also, every one 
 drinks at the halt- 
 ing of the cara- 
 van, and again 
 after the meal ; 
 and the same rule 
 is observed in the 
 evening. To 
 drinkwhile others 
 do not, exposes a 
 man to be consid- 
 ered effeminate, 
 
 and to the opprobrious saying, that his mouth is tied to that 
 of the water skin." 
 
 Basins, bowls, cups, dishes, pots, and pitchers are mentioned 
 in the Hebrew Scriptures ; but their precise distinctions cannot 
 
 be ascertained. 
 
 These vessels, 
 whether of 
 metal, horn, or 
 earthenware, 
 were probably de- 
 signed after those of 
 Egypt and Phoenicia. 
 Water-jars had one or 
 two handles, and were 
 chiefly borne to and 
 from the wells on the 
 head or shoulder of 
 women. These were 
 commonly carried by 
 caravans; and it was 
 not singular that out 
 of ten thousand men 
 Gideon could collect 
 three hundred water- 
 jars in which to con- 
 ceal as many torches. Judg. 7: 16. Such earthen vessels were used 
 to hold meal, to preserve it from worms; and the "barrel" of the

 widow of Zarephath was doubtless a jar. i Kings tj : 12. To avoid 
 pollution, Israelites paid the minutest attention to all vessels em- 
 ployed in the family. Before any new utensil was used, it was either 
 purified by fire or seethed in water. The Levitical law required 
 every earthen vessel to be broken that became unclean by the 
 
 touch of a creeping ani- 
 mal. Lev. 1 1 : 33. 
 
 Few and simple were 
 household utensils. A 
 hand-mill consisted of 
 two stones ; an upright 
 handle turned the upper 
 upon the lower, while 
 the grain was put in 
 through a central hole. 
 Only women ground the 
 meal, and the hard la- 
 bor was shared by two.

 The ovens were built of clay, several feet high, and over a foot 
 broad, gradually widening towards the bottom. Being well heated 
 by a wood fire, cakes of dough, kneaded thin and wet on one side, 
 
 were quickly cooked 
 upon its sides. So ex- 
 pertly did the house- 
 wives bake, that one 
 woman, having her 
 arm well wet to pro- 
 tect it from the heat, 
 could keep three or 
 four cakes in the oven 
 at once till all were 
 finished. Gen. 18 : 
 6. 
 
 Butter and curdled 
 milk were favorite 
 dishes of the Israel- 
 ites. The churning 
 was done by putting 
 curdled milk into a 
 goat -skin bag, which, 
 being tied to a tent- 
 pole, was constantly 
 moved back and forth 
 till the butter formed. 
 This product was gen- 
 erally white, and re- 
 sembled lard. D'Ar- 
 vieux states that the 
 chief delicacy of an 
 Arab breakfast is 
 thick cream, or new 
 butter, mingled with honey. Thus it was prophesied of the Messiah : 
 ' ' Butter and honey shall he eat. ' ' Isa. 7:15- "I beheld manners 
 and customs as simple as were those of the patriarchal age," said a 
 traveller in India. " There, in the very style of Rebecca and the 
 damsels of Mesopotamia, the Hindoo villagers met us with artless 
 hospitality. On a sultry day, near a Zinore village, having rode 
 faster than my attendants, while waiting their arrival under a tama- 
 rind-tree, a young woman came to the well ; I asked for a little 
 water, but neither of us having a drinking-vessel, she hastily left me, 
 as I imagined, to bring an earthen cup for the purpose, as I should 
 have polluted a vessel of metal : but as Jael, when Sisera asked for 
 water, gave him milk, and brought forth butter in a lordly dish, so 
 did this village damsel, with more sincerity than Heber's wife, bring 
 me a pot of milk and a lump of butter on the delicate leaf of the 
 baiiana, the lordly dish of the Hindoos. The former I gladly ac- 
 cepted ; on my declining the latter, she immediately made it up

 into two balls, and gave one to each of the oxen that drew my 
 hackery." Gen. 24: 15. 
 
 When the Jews eat leaven bread, they say: "This is the bread 
 of affliction which our fathers ate in the land of Egypt." They are 
 exact and scrupulous in obeying the law of the Passover : " The first 
 day ye shall put leaven out of your houses." Ex. 12 : 15. "The

 master of the family makes a diligent search into every hole and 
 crevice throughout the house, lest any crumb of unleavened bread 
 should remain in it ; and that not by the light of the sun or moon, 
 but of a candle. In order that this exactness may not appear alto- 
 gether superfluous and ridiculous, care is taken to conceal some scraps 
 of leavened bread in some corner or other, the discovery of which 
 occasions mighty joy. This search, nevertheless, strict as it is, does 
 not give him entire satisfaction. After all, he beseeches God that 
 all the leavened bread that is in the house, as well as what he has 
 found, may become like the dust of the earth, and be reduced to

 nothing. They are also very exact and scrupulous in making the 
 bread for the feast, lest there should be any thing like leaven mixed 
 with it. The corn of which it is made must not be carried to the 
 mill on the horse's bare back, lest the heat of the sun should make 
 it ferment. The sack in which it is put must be carefully examined, 
 lest there should be any remainder of old meal in it ; the dough must 
 be put in a place not exposed to the sun, and must be put in the 
 oven immediately after it is made, lest it should ferment itself." 
 
 Most of the Orientals eat a little morsel as soon as the day breaks. 
 A small cake, or a mouthful of bread, with a dish or two of coffee, 
 suffices. " Comfort thy heart 
 with a morsel of bread, and 
 afterwards go thy way." Judg. 
 19: 5. They had two light 
 and simple meals, at early 
 morning and about noon, eat- 
 ing but little flesh. Ancient- 
 ly, the Hebrews sat at their 
 meals (Gen. 43 : 33) ; but 
 subsequently they imitated 
 the luxurious Persians by re- 
 clining on divans or table- 
 beds. Amos 6:4. As their 
 sandals were first removed, it

 fingers into the same dish. John 13 : 26. Heme the peculiar neces- 
 sity — and the universal custom — of washing the hands before and 
 after each meal. While the hands were held over a basin, a servant 
 poured water on them. 2 Kings 3:11. Jesus sharply rebuked the 
 Pharisees for turning this proper usage into a superstitious observance: 
 " This people honoreth me with their lips, but their heart is far from 
 me." Mark 7 : 6. For want of napkins, they wiped their hands on 
 the soft parts of bread, which were afterwards thrown to the dogs; 
 thus Lazarus desired " to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the 
 rich man's tab!'\" Luke 16: 21. 
 
 AN n-ASTERN FEAST. 
 
 The Orientals cherish the spirit of pure hospitality and detest its 
 treacherous abuse: "Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I 
 trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against 
 me." Psa. 41 : 9. As feasts abounded in joyous times, they symbo- 
 lized prosperity, and exclusion meant misery. Isa. 24: 7, 9. In the 
 festivities, the whole family participated: "Thou shalt rejoice in thy 
 feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, 
 and thy maid-servant. " Deut. 16: 14. The couches ran on three 
 sides, and the middle couch at the upper end ("the uppermost 
 rooms at feasts") was accounted the place of honor. As a token of 
 love and respect, the master of the feast placed his dearest friend at 
 his right hand. Thus, while leaning on their left elbows in the 
 intervals of the feast, this friend would naturally lay his head on his 
 master's breast (John 13 : 23), and the latter' s 
 hand would rest on his favorite's shoulder : 
 " Let thy right hand be upon the man of thy 
 right hand." Psa. 80 : 17. "Special enter- 
 tainments were chiefly held at the weaning of 
 children, at weddings, on birthdays, on the 
 reception or departure of dear friends or re- 
 spected personages, at sheep-shearing and vin- 
 tage, also at funerals. They mostly occurred 
 in the evenings. The guests were invited by 
 servants, in more honorable instances a second 
 time ; and these summoners seem to have as- 
 signed the guests their relative positions. On 
 their arrival the guests were kissed ; their feet 
 were washed ; the hair of their head and beard, 
 even their clothes, oftentimes their feet, were 
 anointed with costly oil, and their persons 
 decked with garlands, with which their heads 
 were specially adorned. Then, with consid- 
 eration to the rank of each, they were assigned 
 to their respective places. All received, as a 
 rule, like portions sent by the master of the 
 house, which, however, when especial honor 
 was intended, was doubled, or even increased 
 fivefold, or a tit-bit assigned. A friend of the 
 family was generally master of the feast. The 
 pride of the entertainer exhibited itself partly 
 in the number of the guests, partly in the ex- 
 pense of the eating and drinking vessels, partly 
 
 and especially in the variety and excellence of the viands, as well as 
 their richness. The food consisted of flesh, fish, or fowls, butter, 
 honey, bread, and fruits. Tke amusements consisted in part of 
 C 
 
 music, songs, and dances, also of jests and riddles. At their 
 departure the guests were again perfumed, espe< ially on the beard. 
 On state occasions, the women probably feasted in a separate apart- 
 ment; but among the poorer classes the sexes were intermingled. 
 In the times of the Apostles, senseless revellings played a conspicuous 
 part. Young men, after banqueting, or in the midst of the festivi- 
 ties, became excited with song or music, and traversed the streets 
 inspired with wine, jubilating, and committing many extravagances." 
 In silence, and with the profoundest respect, the servants or slaves 
 attended their masters and mistresses. Standing, with their hands 
 joined before 
 them, at the 
 foot of the 
 room, they 
 watched with 
 the keenest 
 attention for 
 the silent 
 command of 
 a sign : "Be- 
 hold, as the 
 eyes of erv- 
 ants look unto 
 the hands of 
 their masters, 
 andasthecyes 
 of a maiden 
 unto the hand 
 of her mis- 
 tress, so our 
 eyeswaitupon 
 the Lord our 
 God, until 
 that he have 
 mercy upon 
 us." Psa. 123:

 it was unlawful to dress any meat on that day, they obtained warm 
 food by keeping it over night in heated pipkins wrapped in hay. 
 
 During solemn and religious feasts, as at the Passover, it was 
 customary for the father of the family to pronounce certain blessings

 over the cup, and after having tasted of it, to pass it around till all 
 his guests and family had partaken. 1 Cor. 10 : 16. Hence it came 
 to symbolize the " cup of salvation" (Psa. 116: 13); "cup of con-

 solation" (Jer. i6: 7); and in contradistinction, "wine of astonish- 
 ment" (Psa. 60: 3); "cup of trembling. " Isa. 51 : 17. In addition 
 to anointing guests with perfume, they were given a cup of choice 
 wine carefully filled to overflowing. The first expressed love and 
 respect ; the latter implied all things were at their service for life : 
 "Thou anointest my head with oil: my cup runneth over." Psa. 
 23 15. By a figure about the profuse use of oil in feasts, Solomon 
 cautioned his people against luxurious indulgences: "He that loveth 
 oil shall not be rich." Prov. 21 : 17. 
 
 Fasts were common with the Jews, and were performed with much 
 ostentation. Matt. 6: 16-18. In their observance, not only food 
 but also bathing, perfumes, anointing, and pleasures of all kinds 
 were abstained from. A fast began after sunset and lasted till the 
 same time next day. Boys over the age of thirteen, and girls over 
 eleven, participated, while children over seven fasted according to 
 their strength. The Tharisee, who fasted twice a week (Luke 18: 
 12), did so on Monday and Thursday: the latter in memory of 
 
 Moses ascending Mount 
 Sinai, and the former be- 
 cause on that day he de- 
 scended with the Law. 
 The domestic lamps 
 of the ancients were 
 made in various graceful 
 shapes. They were gen- 
 erally fed with vegetable 
 oils, and the coarse fibres 
 of flax were used for 
 wicks. A lamp newly 
 lighted, or one whose 
 flame was about to ex- 
 pire for lack of oil, was 
 a beautiful simile of the 
 Saviour's, to express 
 God's gentleness and pa- 
 tience with those who 
 are not yet shining lights 
 — the young convert, or 
 the repentant profligate: 
 " Smoking flax will he 
 not quench. ' ' Matt. 1 2 : 
 20. Light was peculiarly 
 an emblem of God's 
 favor : ' ' The people that 
 walked in darkness have 
 seen great light : they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, 
 upon them hath the light shined." Isa. 9:2. In the evening, when 
 the Jews assembled to testify their joy for the effusion of water, the 
 Temple was so brilliantly lighted by lamps placed fifty yards high 
 that, it is said, every street in Jerusalem was bright, while many 
 besides bore blazing torches in their hands. Hence the beauty of 
 the invitation : " O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the 
 light of the Lord." Isa. 2:5. In most houses lamps were kept 
 burning all night, and their extinguishment spoke of desolation : 
 " How oft is the candle of the wicked put out, and how oft cometh 
 their desolation upon them." Job 18: 5, 6; Jer. 25: 10, n. 
 Most profuse and punctilious forms of salutation have always been 
 
 used by the Orientals. " The bles- 
 sing of Jehovah be upon thee," 
 "be thou blessed of Jehovah," 
 " may God be with thee," " may 
 peace be yours," and at parting, 
 "go in peace," were the ancient 
 Hebrew greetings. The gestures 
 and inflections of the body varied 
 with the dignity of the person 
 saluted. The head was inclined ; 
 the body was bowed low; the knee 
 was bent ; and to a superior, the 
 saluter fell prostrate with his face to 
 the earth. Arabs "are extremely 
 polite, and fond of shaking hands 
 with travellers on the road. They 
 are also very ceremonious in put- 
 ting a string of inquiries to those they meet : first asking about their 
 own health, then as to that of their wives, and families, and finally 
 whether their cattle and servants are safe and well.' Morier in his 
 
 ANCIENT LAMPS. 
 
 SALUTATIONS. 
 
 EASTERN GARMENTS. 
 
 travels relates that a friend "seemed greatly pleased to see us again, 
 and adopted the Persian mode of salutation, which consists, among 
 intimate friends, of inclining the body over each other's necks, and 
 then touching cheek to cheek, which, I suppose, must be the falling 
 upon the neck and kissing mentioned Gen. 33: 4; 45: 14; Luke 
 15: 20." As most of these salutations became heartless forms and 
 consumed much time, the journeying disciples were cautioned to 
 "salute no man by the way." Luke 10: 4. "Thou hast said," 
 was a common assent to what had been spoken. Matt. 26: 64. 
 
 Scriptural imagery is often founded on the peculiarity of Eastern 
 garments. Excepting a veil, the dress of men and women was quite 
 similar, but distinguished by length and fineness of material. A 
 tunic, " coat," or inner garment, was usually made of two pieces of 
 linen, sewed together at the sides, and it reached to the knees ; that 
 worn by females extended to the ankles. This was probably the 
 dress of Joseph (Gen. 37 : 3, 23) ; and of Tamar (2 Sam. 13 : 18) ; 
 also the seamless shirt worn by 
 Jesus (John 19 : 23). The abba, 
 or ordinary outer garment, was 
 an oblong piece of woollen cloth, 
 about five yards long by five feet 
 wide. It could be wrapped 
 around the body, or worn over 
 the shoulders like a shawl, with 
 the ends or "skirts" hanging 
 down in front, or it might be 
 thrown over the head to conceal 
 the face. 2 Sam 15 : 30. A 
 girdle, often highly ornamented, 
 kept this close to the body; hence 
 the frequent mention of girding 
 up the loins for travel or labor. 
 John 13: 1-8. Their indiffer- 
 ence to worldly things was shown by Elijah and John the Baptist jn 
 wearing common leathern girdles. One of the girdle's ends, being 
 doubled and sewed along the edges, served for a purse. The folds 
 of the abba could be gathered into a bosom for carrying articles, and 
 this mantle made a poor man's bed. Job 22 : 6. One laying aside 
 this garment was often described as naked. John 21:7; I sa - 2 ° : 2 - 
 In the use of a weapon, or the putting forth of strength, the abba 
 was thrown aside from the arm : "The Lord hath made bare his holy 
 arm. ' ' Isa. 52:10. A long tunic without sleeves was sometimes worn, 
 as a third garment, between these two. A choice fringe usually orna- 
 mented the borders of these garments ; but Jesus, in his poverty, was 
 not thus adorned. If he had been, the trembling sufferer (desiring 
 to do him respect and also to be healed), would have laid her finger 
 on the fringe, and not have "touched the hem of his garment." 
 Matt. 9 : 20. 
 
 In the East, changes of garments constituted an important part of 
 a man's wealth, and they were among the most valued presents (2 
 Kings 5 : 22); but the self-sacrificing Paul showed his sincerity by 
 coveting none of these. Acts 20: 37. A gift has always been the 
 most universal method of honoring an Oriental. "All great men 
 expect it as a kind of tribute to their character and authority, and 
 look upon themselves as affronted, and indeed defrauded, when this 
 compliment is omitted." Thus it was Saul said: "If we go, what 
 shall we bring the man? for the bread is spent in our vessels, and 
 there is not a present to bring to the man of God : what have we?" 
 1 Sam. 9:7. A lustrous whiteness was given to garments by the 
 fuller's art ; and as the shape of robes never altered, this color con- 
 stituted their chief beauty. White became a symbol of purity and 
 righteousness. Eccl. 9 : 8; Matt. 17: 2; Rev. 7: 9, 13. At great 
 feasts special robes were provided by the entertainer, and the rejec- 
 tion of one by a guest was a flagrant insult. Matt. 22: n. The 
 very ancient ceremony of rending the clothes in grief (Gen. 37 : 34) 
 was thus performed: "They take a knife, and holding the blade 
 downwards, do give the upper garments a cut on the right side, and 
 then rend it an hand's-breadth. This is done for the five following 
 relations — brother, sister, son, or daughter, or wife ; but for father or 
 mother, the rent is on the left side, and in all the garments." 
 
 In a Jewish marriage, the husband threw the skirt of his talith over 
 his wife and covered her head with it, as a sign of protection. Ruth 
 thus asked for the care of Boaz, in saying: "Spread thy skirt over 
 thy handmaid." Ruth 3 : 9. The nuptial ceremony was celebrated 
 with mirth and cheerful festivities. " Blessed be thou, O Lord, who 
 hast created man and woman and ordained marriage," was the nup- 
 tial benediction, which was repeated during the wedding week, 
 
EASTERN MANNERS AND CUSTOMS. 
 
 "Children of the bride-chamber" (Matt. 9: 15), were 
 friends assisting in the rejoicings. 
 
 The head was usually bare, or covered by a fold of the 
 robe; but after the captivity turbans were often worn. 
 Jews exhibited religious veneration by having their feet 
 bare in public worship and their heads covered. When 
 Moses saw the burning bush, " he hid his face, for he was 
 afraid to look upon God" (Exod. 3:6); and when Elijah 
 heard the still small voice, "he wrapped his face in his 
 mantle." 1 Kings 19: 13. The beard was esteemed a 
 great ornament, as distinguishing man from woman, and 
 the freeman from a slave. Hence the force of the 
 prophet's comparison of the people of Jerusalem to the 
 cherished hair of his head and bearer, which nevertheless 
 would be cut off in wrath. Ezek. 5 : 1-5. Hair was 
 esteemed for its length. It was anointed with fragrant 
 oils, and daily powdered with dust of gold to make it 
 shine. Absalom, in his vanity and pride, " weighed the 
 hair of his head at two hundred shekels, after the king's 
 weight." • 2 Sam. 14: 26. Its removal was a symbol 
 of the keenest sorrow and misery: "Cut off thine hair, 
 O Jerusalem, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation 
 on high places ; for the Lord hath rejected and forsaken 
 the generation of his wrath. ' ' Jer. 7:29. Its marring was 
 the keenest disgrace. 2 Sam. 10: 4-10. Isa. 7: 20; 50: 6. 
 
 Originally the feet were not covered, but sandals of wood or leather 
 were bound to the soles by leathern thongs, to protect them from 
 sharp rocks and the hot sand. 
 These were always laid off on 
 entering a house, to save the 
 divan rugs from being soiled. 
 Washing the parched feet was 
 one of the first rites of hospi- 
 tality observed towards stran- 
 gers : "Let a littl? water, I 
 pray you, be fetched, and wash 
 your feet " (Gen. 18 : 4) ; and 
 its neglect was a striking in- 
 civility. Luke 7 : 44- This 
 washing was often done by ser- 
 vants, or by the master as a 
 special mark of honor. John 
 13: 3-15. It was a Jewish 
 motto, " All services which a servant does for his master, a disciple 
 does for his master, except loosing his shoes : " but John the Baptist 
 felt himself too humble a servant to loose the sandals from Jesus' feet. 
 
 Shoes of leather were used to some extent by wealthy Jews in the 
 time of Christ, and were of more delicate make. His commission

 to his disciples (Matt. 10: 10), bade them take sandals, and not 
 shoes, that they might endure the severest toils. Morier relates: 
 " Stated distances were fixed for taking off our shoes ; some of the 
 ambassador's suite being obliged to take theirs off at a considerable 
 distance from the king, whilst others, whose rank gave them more 
 privilege, kept them on until near to the stairs which led into the 
 room. As the Persians allow to their monarch a great character of 
 sanctity, calling him the Zib Allah, the shadow of the Almighty, 
 they pay him almost divine honors. The taking off their slice.;

 implies that the ground which surrounds him is sacred ; and this 
 circumstance will illustrate what the captain of the Lord of Hosts 
 said to Joshua : ' Loose thy shoe from off thy foot ; for the place 
 whereon thou standest is holy.' " Josh. 5 : 15. 
 
 The dress of the women of the East was always expensive. In 
 number, variety, and weight, their ordinary ornaments were a char- 
 acteristic feature of costume. Egyptian ladies, as sculptured on the 
 ancient monuments, wore many rings, earnings of great size, anklets, 
 armlets, bracelets, necklaces, and chains. Exod. 3: 22. The women 
 of Palestine were equally devoted to finery. Some of their bracelets

 were like manacles, being as wide as the length of the finger, while 
 the arm was covered with them to the elbow. Among the ornaments 
 with which Eliezer decorated Rebekha, was a golden nose-ring 
 (" ear-ring"). Some of these pendants were four fingers in diameter, 
 and two fingers thick, thus distorting the ear by their weight. " It 
 is the custom in almost all the East for the women to wear rings in 
 their noses, in the left nostril, which is bored low down in the 
 middle. These rings are of gold, and have commonly two pearls, 
 and one rubv between, placed in the ring. I never saw a girl or a 
 young woman in Arabia, or in all Persia, who did not wear a ring 
 after this manner in her nostril." Ear-rimrs seem to have beei>

 worn as charms by Jacob's wives, as they were cast away with their 
 idols. Gen. 35 : 4. To this day many have strange characters 
 engraven on them, as talismans against enchantments. 
 
 In Isaiah 3 : 18-23, is detailed the .profuseness of ornaments worn 
 in that age ; but it is difficult to identify them all. Gold, silver, 
 jewels, and coral were the materials. (See introductory engraving.) 
 " The chains or rings on their ankles tinkled as they walked; the 
 caul refers either to the net-like tresses of the hair or to the embroi- 
 dered kerchief bound about the head ; the tire was made up of little 
 ornaments, crescent-shaped, which were strung together as a necklace ; 
 the chains were literally drops or pendants; the muffler was the veil 
 with which the face was covered ; the bonnet was the turban or head- 
 dress ; the ornaments of the legs corresponded with those of the feet; 
 the head-band was the zone or girdle, which was often enriched with 
 gold and precious stones. The tablets were little boxes or bottles of 
 rich perfume, suspended from a descending necklace ; the changeable 
 suits of apparel were a variety of beautiful and costly dresses ; the 
 mantle was a sort of pelisse, made of cloth, silk, or velvet, worn 
 above the usual dress ; the wimple was a sort of enveloping hood 
 worn out of doors ; the crisping-pin is, in 2 Kings 5 : 23, rendered a 
 bag, and points to a purse or pocket which the women wore sus- 
 pended from the girdle ; the hood was a double veil, descending 
 behind and before; the veil is the head-veil, which is worn within 
 doors, and consists of aiong strip of white muslin, embroidered with 
 threads of colored silk or gold ; the stomacher is supposed to be a 
 kind of shawl or handkerchief, widely folded, and then thrown loosely 
 round the waist, in a simple and tasteful manner, with the corners 
 hanging down behind." Golden ornaments are also much worn by

 the men. The gift of a ring by a Persian king was a token of deep 
 affection. When Ahasuerus desired to honor his minister, he " took 
 his ring from his hand and gave it to Haman." Esth. 3 : 10. Forbes 
 thus describes a beauty, and the dress: "Her age did not exceed 
 fifteen: her form was perfect, her features regular, and her large 
 antelope eyes of a brilliant lustre : although fairer than the generality 
 of Indian females, neither the rose nor the lily adorned her com- 
 plexion, yet the brunette tint rather enriched than impaired the 
 softness and delicacy of her skin: 'grace was in all her steps,' and 
 her whole deportment elegant and courteous. This young beauty 
 excelled in personal charms, but was not so superbly attired as her 
 friend, whom I hastily sketched, as a specimen of a well-dressed 
 Mogul. Her drawers, of green satin, flowered with gold, were seen 
 ^nder a chemise of transparent gauze, reaching to her slippers, richly 
 embroidered : a vest of pale-blue satin, edged with gold, sat close to 
 her shape, which an upper robe of striped silver muslin, full and 
 flowing, displayed to great advantage: a netted veil of crimson silk, 
 flowered with silver, fell carelessly over her long, braided hair, combed 
 smooth, and divided from the forehead, where a cluster of jewels was 
 fastened by strings of seed-pearl : her ear-rings were large and hand- 
 some, that in her nose, according to our ideas of ornament, less be- 
 coming. A necklace in intermingled rows of pearl and gold covered 
 her bosom, and several strings of large pearls were suspended from an 
 embroidered girdle set with diamonds ; bracelets of gold and coral 
 reached from her wrist to the elbow, golden chains encircled her 
 ankles, and all her toes and fingers were adorned with valuable rings. 
 Like most of the Oriental females, of all religions, her eyes were 
 tinged by a black circle, formed with the powder of antimony, 
 which produces a refreshing coolness, gives the eye additional lustre, 
 and is thought to be a general improvement to Asiatic beauty." — It 
 was the barbarous custom of ancient conquerors to strip captives of 
 all clothing, and compel them, thus shamefully exposed, to travel on 
 foot under a scorching sun. To Eastern women, even whose faces 
 
 ANCIENT MIRRORS. 
 
 Ancient mirrors (inaccurately translated "looking-glasses" — Exod. 
 38 : 8 ; Job 37 : 18), were first made of brass, or of a mixed metal, 
 chiefly copper. In shape they were nearly circular, and could be 
 highly polished. The handle was of wood, stone, or metal, variously 
 carved. Hebrew women, following the Egyptian custom, appear 
 to have taken mirrors to the tabernacle service. As these were liable 
 to rust and tarnish, they had to be often burnished. Paul appears to 
 allude to such an obscured reflection in 1 Cor. 13 : 12. 
 
 Oils and fragrant ointments were frequently applied to the head, 
 hair, feet, and body by the ancients, as this was believed to be 
 healthful in warm climates. Psa. 
 104-: 15. Omission of anoint- 
 ing was a sign of mourning (Isa. 
 61 : 3) ; and also a lack of re- 
 spect to a guest. Luke 7 : 46. 
 Kings and high priests were 
 consecrated to office by anoint- 
 ing. Exod. 29 : 29. 1 Sam. 9 : 
 16. Alabaster boxes, of deli- 
 cate pink or white colors, were 
 often used to hold the costliest 
 ointments. This material re- 
 sembled marble, but was softer 
 and more easily wrought into 
 boxes. Mary, the sister of Laz- 
 arus, broke the seal of an ala- 
 baster box, and poured the 
 precious ointment of spikenard 
 upon Jesus' head. Matt. 26 : 
 6, 7. John 12: 3. 
 
 Music and poetry were alike cultivated and highly esteemed by 
 the Hebrews. The choral and instrumental services of the Temple 
 were imposing and ' grand. Moses, David, Solomon, and the 
 Prophets invoked the power of music in times of triumph, joy, and 
 mourning. In many nations war was proclaimed by ministers of 
 religion ; military expeditions were opened by devout processions 
 and public sacrifices. Psalm 149 was probably composed on such an 
 occasion, and was sang when David's army moved in solemn proces- 
 sion to the house of God, prior to marching against the enemies 
 doomed to destruction. All nations have excited their martial ardor 
 by the sound of some musical instrument. The ancient Etrurians 
 used the trumpet ; Arcadians the whistle ; Cretans the harp ; Lace- 
 demonians the pipe ; Thracians the cornet ; Egyptians the drum ; 
 Arabians the cymbal.

 The joyful harp was the earliest and favorite stringed instrument. 
 Its strings varied in number, and were originally swept by the hand ;

 but at trie time of our Lord, a small bow was used. The psaltery in 
 form resembled a right-angled triangle. Its body was hollow, and 
 was enclosed with a piece of leather tensely drawn. Guitars and 
 lutes were also popular. It was a royal custom to have about the

 court those who could play and sing well. Therefore the youth 
 David was called to soothe the unquiet spirit of Saul (i Sam. 16 : 
 17); and Solomon testifies: "I gat me men singers and women 
 singers, and the delights of the sons of men, as musical instruments, 
 and that of all sorts." Eccl. 2 : 8. 
 
 Wind instruments were made of wood, reeds, horns, and bones. 
 The straight trumpet was nearly two feet long. When the wandering 
 Israelites were to be assembled, it was blown softly, but with a deeper 
 note when the march was to be resumed. Very ancient was the 
 crooked trumpet, made of the horns of oxen or rams ; its sound 
 resembled thunder. The "organ" (Gen. 4: 21), or shepherd's 
 pipe, consisted at first of one or two, and afterwards of seven, pipes, 
 made of reeds and differing in length. It was the custom in the 
 Temple worship for the singers to make pauses. In every Psalm the 
 music made three intermissions ; at each of these the trumpet 
 sounded, and the people worshipped. Owing to the frequent sound- 
 
 ing of the trumpets on the Jewish Feast of the New Moon, it was 
 called the memorial of blowing trumpets. Eastern beggars use

 large trumpets of rams' horns, which they blow lustily in honor of 
 an alms-giver. Probably to such a custom the Saviour thus alluded : 
 " When thou doest alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the 
 hypocrites do in the synagogues 
 and in the streets, that they may 
 have glory of men." Matt. 6 : 2. 
 
 Of the drum-like instruments, 
 which had to be struck or shaken, 
 the tabret or timbrel was a favorite 
 with the women in dancing. It was 
 covered with a tightly-drawn skin, 
 and hung round with small bells. 
 Held in the left hand, it was beaten 
 to notes of music with the right. 
 
 Cymbals ,and triangles were often used. These dances were with 
 measured paces and animated gestures. Thus, after Pharaoh and his 
 host had been drowned in the Red Sea, "Miriam the prophetess, and 
 the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand, and all the women 
 went out after her, with timbrels and with dances." Exod. 15 : 20.

 Lady Montagu says of such sports: "A great lady still leads the 
 dance, and is followed by a troop of young girls, who imitate her 
 steps, and if she sings, make up the chorus. The dances are

 extremely gay and lively, yet with something in them wonderfully 
 soft. Their steps are varied according to the pleasure of her that 
 leads the dance, but always in exact time, and infinitely more 
 agreeable than any of our dances." 
 
 Various instruments of warfare are mentioned in the Pentateuch. 
 
 With these may be classed the sling, 
 as one of the earliest offensive weap- 
 ons. Job 41 : 28. " The arms which 
 the Achaeans chiefly used were slings. 
 They were trained to the art from their 
 infancy, by slinging from a great dis- 
 tance at a circular mark of a moderate 
 circumference ; by long practice they 
 took so nice an aim, that they were sure 
 to hit their enemies not only on the 
 head, but on any part of the face they 
 chose. ' ' Armed with only a sling and 
 five small pebbles from a brook, David 
 slew the boastful Goliath, champion 
 of the Philistines. 1 Sam. 17: 49. 
 
 Shields are first mentioned in Gen. 
 15 : 1. These were of various shapes : 
 they were made of osiers, bull's-hide, 
 and brass. Israelites were particularly 
 careful of their shields, which became 
 symbols for defence and protection. 
 Psa. 47 : 9. On them they engraved 
 their names and warlike deeds. Es- 
 pecially careful were they to preserve them bright by scouring, pol- 
 ishing, and anointing 
 with oil. Isa. 21: 5. 
 _ The spear was a wooden 
 staff surmounted with 
 an iron point. These 
 varied much in size, 
 weight, and length. 1 
 Sam. 17: 7. Persian 
 soldiers used bows 
 nearly five feet long.

 Chariots were cars used for peaceful, but chiefly for warlike pur- 
 
 SHIELDS AND SPEARS. 
 
 These were probably made of metal, and were 
 powerful weapons in assault: "Their bows also 
 shall dash their young men in pieces." Isa. 
 13:18. 
 
 Swords, dirks, and poniards were early made 
 of metal, sometimes were double-edged, and were 
 often worn in a polished sheath. These differed 
 much in size and shape, and were generally fast- 
 ened round the body by a girdle. 2 Sam. 20 : 8. 
 The wrath of God is typified by a sword ; and He 
 is represented as wielding it to punish the wicked. 
 Psa. 17: 13; Jer. 12: 12. Greaves, or plates of brass, were used to 
 protect the leg from the knee downward, and were buckled on with 
 straps. 1 Sam. 17:6. In the time of the millennium, the arts of

 the Egyptians pursued the esc aping Israelites with chariots. Exod. 
 14: 7. These answered to the heavy artillery of modern times. 
 Solomon maintained a force of fourteen hundred. The chariot had 
 no seat, and the floor was made of open net-work, to give a more 
 springy footing to the riders. The back, was open ; the sides were 
 strengthened and ornamented with metal and leather binding. In 
 the royal chariot, three persons generally rode, one of whom held 
 the state umbrella. A war chariot generally held a box, axe, spear, 
 and quiver. Great dexterity was shown by the warrior in fighting, 
 not only in handling his weapons, but also in stepping out on the 
 
 many of the bricks of the children of Israel must have been made. 
 Had I then known what I now saw, not a single tile roof in all 
 Egypt, I should have began to doubt the whole story of biic'c 
 making; but I saw something more to justify the holy writings. 
 Remains of walls, canals, ruins, thousands of years annihilated and 
 partly sunk in the Nile, and exceedingly costly works, now scarcely 
 to be traced, are of brick, and show the truth of the ancient tradi- 
 tion. The mouldering remains which still astonish the traveller, are 
 probably evidences of the excessive labor of the Jewish people 
 during their captivity."

 pole to the horses' shoulders in order the better to attack his ene- 
 mies. Chariots of iron (Josh. 17: 16), were those whose wheels 
 were armed with scythes three feet long. These being driven swiftly 
 through a body of men, made great slaughter. Chariot is used 
 figuratively for hosts or armies. Psa. 68 : 17 ; 2 Kings 6 : 7. Elijah, 
 by his prayers, counsels, and the power of God, was "the chariot 
 of Israel and the horserren thereof." 2 Kings 2 ; 12. 
 
 One of the very earliest employments in which men combined 
 together in numbers, was brick making for the Tower of Babel. 
 Gen. 11 : 3. The chief labor of the Israelites while bondsmen in 
 Egypt, was the making of such bricks, to be baked in the sun. 
 Exod. 1 : 13, 14. Chopped straw and stubble were mixed with the 
 clay, in order to bind it together without burning. The largest of 
 these bricks are found to have been 20 inches long, 8^ wide, and 7 
 thick. This severe labor is faithfully represented by the above 
 engraving, taken from a very old painting at Thebes ; and the details 
 wonderfully illustrate Bible history. All edifices but the temples 
 were built out of this crude brick. The Egyptian government by

 The extreme value of fish as an article of food, and its plentifulness 
 in the waters of Palestine, have given it some 
 prominence in the Scriptures. Several forms of 
 nets were used by the Hebrews in catching fish. 
 A large hauling or draw net (Matt. 13: 47); 
 and casting nets. Matt. 4: 18. Luke 5:2. It 
 was a settled custom among the Jews for every 
 man, of whatever quality or position, to learn 
 some trade or handicraft. They had a proverbial 
 expression: "Whoever teaches not his son a 
 trade, teaches him to be a thief." Fishing and 
 tent making were not unprofitable employments ; 
 at the latter trade Paul supported himself in his 
 missionary labors. Acts 18: 3. From fishing- 
 nets Jesus called his first disciples to become 
 fishers of men " (Mark 1 : 16-20) ; from a fish-

 using this slave labor was enabled to monopolize its manufacture, 
 and make a corresponding profit by selling the products to their 
 subjects. "Now in Egypt itself," said a Swiss traveller, " I recol- 
 lected the time past in which I often thought when a child, how bad 
 
 ing-boat Jesus rebuked the winds and the waves ; and from a fishing- 
 boat he delivered his wondrous series of prophetic parables about the 
 kingdom of heaven. Matt. 13.

 after their entrance into Canaan, were famous for their industry in 
 cultivating its fruitful soil. Moses made agriculture the basis of the 
 commonwealth, though he by no means discouraged the keeping of 
 flocks. None were so rich or noble as to disdain to put their hand 
 to the plough. Eastern ploughs have always been slight and unhandy 
 implements. They were drawn by oxen, asses, and heifers. Deut. 
 
 22 : 10. Judg. 14 : 18. 
 
 SOWER OF SEED. 
 
 It seems to have been customary to scatter 
 the seed broadcast by hand upon 
 the ploughed field, and to cover it by 
 a cross furrow. Hence, some fell 
 by the wayside, some among thorns, 
 and some on stony ground. Matt. 
 13 : 3-9. In the southern parts of 
 Palestine, the crops came to matu- 
 rity about the middle of April, and 
 the time of harvest was a festival. 
 The reapers were masters, children, 
 men and women servants ; and the 
 gleanings were required to be left 
 for the poor. Lev. 19: 9. Ruth 2. 
 The threshing-floor was a circular 
 place in the field where the ground 
 had been beaten down. Gen. 50 :

 upon it, and the grain was trodden

 As the hilly country of Palestine was almost impassable to wheeled 
 vehicles, carts were used only for the carriage of agricultural pro- 
 ducts. They were usually low, with solid wooden wheels, sometimes 
 iron-shod, and were often drawn by heifers, i Sam. 6, 7. 
 
 ORIENTAL CART. 
 
 Sheepfolds in Syria were built in sheltered spots, often in front of 
 rocky caverns. They consisted of yards with low flat buildings, 
 defended by wide stone walls, which were crowned with sharp thorns. 
 In cold weather, the flocks were shut up in the buildings, or in the 
 enclosure. In summer months, shepherds slept with their flocks in 
 their pasturage, with only a stout hedge or palisade of thorn bushes

 to protect them from wild beasts. "About two o'clock in the 
 morning," states Chardin, "our whole attention was fixed by the 
 barking of dogs, which, as we advanced, became exceedingly furious. 
 Deceived by the light of the moon, we now fancied we could see a 
 village, and were much mortified to find only a station of poor goat- 
 herds, without even a shed, and nothing for our horses to eat. They 
 were iying, wrapped in their thick capots, or loose coats, by some 
 glimmering embers among the bushes, in a dale, under a spreading 
 tree by the fold. The tree was hung with rustic utensils ; the she- 
 goats, in a pen, sneezed, and bleated, and rustled to and fro. The 
 shrubs by which our horses stood were leafless, and the earth bare." 
 Ezek. 34 : 25 : "I will make with them a covenant of peace, and 
 will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land ; and they shall 
 dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods." ("Animals 
 of the Bible : " Sheep). 
 
 The peculiar duties of these keepers of cattle are alluded to in 
 the command of Kish to his son Saul : " Take now one of the ser- 
 vants with thee, and arise, go seek the asses." 1 Sam. 9 : 3. Baron 
 Du Tott says: " Each proprietor has his own mark, which is burnt

 Vines in Palestine were trained upon trellis-work, trees, and 
 
 arbors. The vineyard, because of its richness of growth and its 
 
 large grape clusters, was a pleasant spot 
 of retirement from the heat of the sun, 
 for refreshment and contemplation. The 
 peculiarities of the fruit, its culture, and 
 the many Scriptural allusions thereto, arc- 
 referred to in the article on Bible Plants. 
 Wine was stored in jugs, and the lees made- 
 it thick ; therefore it was filtered through a 
 cloth. Hence the people of the Lord are 
 said to feast upon " wine on the lees well 
 refined." Isa. 25 : 6.

 At the approach of this season they seek and drive them to their

 EGYPTIAN MACHINE FOR RAISING WATER. 
 
 Canaan, well watered, was contrasted 
 by Moses with Egypt, "where thou sow- 
 edst thy seed, and wateredst it with thy 
 foot." Deut. 11 : 10. Moses probably 
 referred to this hydraulic machine, which 
 
 Egyptian peasants worked by the feet. It consisted of a wheel 
 
 with spokes, and was placed on beams across a well's mouth. To 
 
 water their fruits, it was also the custom of the gardener to conduct 
 
 the water from the cistern through one rill after another, at times 
 
 'stopping and diverting the water 
 
 by turning the earth against it 
 
 with his foot, while opening for 
 
 it a new trench with his mattock. 
 Anciently the traffic between 
 
 nations, both by sea and land, 
 
 was very considerable. The 
 
 Phoenicians originally held the 
 
 first rank as a commercial people, 
 
 and they had ports of tbeir own 
 
 in almost every country. From 
 
 Sidon and Tyre, their ships 
 
 coasted along the shore of the 
 
 Mediterranean, visiting princi- 
 pally the cities of Carthage, and 
 
 of Tarshish in Spain. Ezek. 27.

 In the time of Solomon, 
 
 the Jews traded extensively with Egypt, Spain, and through the Red 
 Sea with ports in Asia. These ships were generally small, yet highly 
 ornamented at bow

 ging was simple and 
 clumsy: one large 
 mast had a large 
 square sail fastened to 
 a yard of great length. 
 Galleys were in fre-

 fishes, dashed against rocks, or cast upon an uninhabited island. 
 
 The most ancient 
 form of buying and 
 selling was by the ex- 
 change of articles, or

 of Abraham, the value 
 of goods was calcu- 
 lated at a certain quan- 
 tity of silver, the pu- 
 rity of which was esti- 
 mated by the mer- 
 chant, and the metal 
 appears to have been 
 used in lumps. Gen. 
 23 : 16. Previous to 
 the captivity, there is no proof of coined money, or of regulated 
 stamps for designating values. The ores in which gold and silver 
 are mined, are represented in the engravings. These precious metals 
 
 must have been plentiful at the 
 Exodus from Egypt, as the 
 value of the gold voluntarily 
 contributed to the building of 
 tiie Tabernacle, is estimated 
 to have equalled one million 
 dollars, and the silver a fourth 
 of that amount. Traders were 
 in the habit of carrying about 
 with them balances and weights 
 of stone for weighing these 
 metals of exchange. Lev. 19 : 
 36. Deut. 25 : 13-18. To 
 this day, this practice is gene- 
 ral in Syria, Egypt and Tur- 
 key. The shekel was a sort 
 of standard weight of silver 
 money, kept as a model in the 
 sanctuary, according to which 
 the common ones were to be 
 conformed. This practice was 
 observed by the Romans ; and 
 the emperor Justinian ordered 
 standard weights and meas- 
 ures to be laid up in the 
 churches. Money put up in 
 bags, sealed, and labelled with 
 the amount contained, yet 
 passes currently ; this practice 
 appears to be referred to in 
 2 Kings 12 : 10. Some of the 
 ancient coins are herewith ex- 
 hibited. A Denarius, trans- 
 lated "penny" in the New 
 Testament, was given as the 
 wages of a day-laborer; but 
 its approximate value was

 really equal to fifteen of our cents. A full description of these 
 coinages and their values, are given in a scholarly article prepared 
 by Col. J. Ross Snowden. Gold was an emblem of purity and 
 splendor. God, his Word, and his saints are likened to it. Psa. 
 19:10. 1 Pet. 1:7. " Thou art weighed in the balances, and art 
 found wanting" (Dan. 5: 27), the sen- 
 tence pronounced by the prophet on Bel- 
 shazzar, is made more forcible by the 
 following custom of India, described by 
 Sir Thomas Roe : " The first of September 
 (which was the late mogul's birthday) he, 
 retaining an ancient yearly custom, was in 
 the presence of his chief grandees weighed 
 in a balance : the ceremony was performed 
 within his house, or tent, in a fair, spacious 
 room, whereinto none were admitted but 
 by special leave. The scales in which he 
 was thus weighed were plated with gold, 
 and so was the beam, on which they hung 
 
 by great chains, made likewise of that most precious metal. The 
 king sitting in one of them, was weighed first against silver coin, 
 which immediately afterwards was distributed among the poor ; then 
 was he weighed against gold : after that against jewels (as they say), 
 but I observed (being there present with my lord ambassador) that

 he was weighed against three several things, laid in silken bags on 
 the contrary scale. When I saw him in the balance, I thought on 
 Belshazzar, who was found too light. By his weight (of which his 
 physicians yearly keep an exact account), they presume to guess of 
 the present state of his body, of which they speak flatteringly, 
 however they think it to be."

 No records are extant relating to the discovery of the art of writing. 
 The tables of the testimony, containing the Ten Commandments, are 
 said to have been "written by the finger of God." Exod. 31 : 18. 
 The marginal readings of "a figured stone," and "stone of pic- 
 ture " (Lev. 26 : 1), are understood to refer to the hieroglyphical or 
 symbolical figure-writing of the Egyptians. To the Phoenicians is 
 attributed the invention of an alphabet, and the art of alphabetic 
 writing. The materials written upon were the leaves and bark of 
 
 trees, skins, tiles, tablets, sometimes covered 
 with wax, linen, paper made of papyrus, and 
 parchment. Public records were made upon 
 stone by the Phoenicians and Egyptians,

 particularly whenever any special chronicle was to be preserved for 
 posterity. Among the last commands of Moses was this requirement 
 of the Israelites when they should have crossed the Jordan : " Thou

 shalt set thee up great stones, and plaster them with plaster : and 
 thou shalt write upon them all the words of this law." Deut. 27 : 2, 3. 
 
 The tablet or writing-table men- 
 tioned in Luke 1 : 63, was proba- 
 bly a flat piece of wood overlaid 
 with wax, which was written upon 
 by an iron stylus. This pen was 
 sharp at one end and broad at the 
 other, so that the wax could be 
 smoothed over badly-written let- 
 ters. Ezek. 9: 2: "And one 
 man among them was clothed with 
 linen, with a writer's inkhorn by 
 his side." In the East to this day 
 public writers carry their inks and 
 pens about with them in a case, 
 which they put under their sash. These inkstands are of various 
 shapes, made of ebony, wood, or metal. The inside is covered 
 with wax, and upon this is placed raw silk. This clump of silk 
 absorbs the ink, thus preventing it from spilling, and from idling the 
 reed pen too full. 
 
 Ancient books were seldom bound into volumes, but were written, 
 in columns, on a single side of one of the flexible materials specified, 
 
 by a stylus, or a reed pen. 
 They were rolled upon rods, 
 and when not required were 
 deposited in a round case or 
 box. The manner of reading 
 is shown by the illustration. 
 Sometimes tablets of wood, 
 lead, brass, or ivory, having 
 writing engraved or printed upon them, were connected together by 
 a ring at the back ; through this passed a rod by which they could 
 be carried. 
 
 The Jewish rabbi, scribe, or teacher of the Law, devoted himself 
 to a careful study of the Hebrew Scriptures, and laid down the most

 precise rules for copying its text. This class could recognize no 
 principles of life beyond the precepts of the Law, and their idolatry 
 
 of the letter was destructive of the very reverence in which it had 
 originated. Their new precepts, " the words of the Scribes," soon 
 came to be honored above the Law. In the time of Christ, from 
 being mere transcribers, they had become more powerful than the 
 Priests; and they were influenced by a deep, incurable hypocrisy, 
 all the more dangerous because it was mostly unconscious. 
 Scribes did not teach as having authority, but used to say: 
 " Our rabbins (wise men) say so." Matt. 7 : 29. The Levites 
 passed through four different courses, from one month old to 
 their twentieth year, they were instructed in the Law of God. 
 From twenty to twenty-five, in the functions of their ministry', 
 from thence to thirty, they served a sort of apprenticeship, 
 beginning to perform some of the lower offices of the service. 
 Lastly, when they had attained their thirtieth year, they were 
 fully instituted in their office. 
 
 Phylacteries or Frontlets were introduced into popular use by 
 the Scribes, at a late period of the Old Testament history. They 
 were little rolls of parchment on which were written certain 
 words of the law (Exod 13: 2-10, 11-16; Deut. 6: 4-9,13-21), 
 and which were worn by the Jews on their foreheads and upon 
 the bending of the left arm. q"he latter were rolled up to a point, 
 and enclosed in a case of black 
 calf-skin ; the knot of the thong 
 was made in the form of the let- 
 ter Zodh (1 ). The ostentation 
 of the Pharisees in making their 
 phylacteries exceedingly broad, 
 was rebuked by the Saviour. 
 Matt. 23: 5. Slips of parch- 
 ment containing certain passages 
 of Scripture were also enclosed 
 in pieces of cane or other hollow wood, and fastened to each door of 
 the house. Many were superstitiously accustomed to kiss these as 
 often as they passed in or out. 
 
 The Synagogue was another characteristic institution of the later 
 phase of Judaism, and had an intimate connection with the life and 
 ministry of our Lord. After the struggle of the Maccabees, the 
 Jews never again relapsed into idolatry, and from that time well nigh 
 every town or village had its one or more synagogues for religious 
 service. These varied in size according to the population, but were

 all so constructed that the worshippers looked toward the supreme 
 Temple at Jerusalem. Like the Temple, they had a court and 
 porches. In the centre of the court was a chapel, supported by four 
 columns, on an elevation in which was placed the Book of the Law. 
 The ark gave this place the name and character of a sanctuary, and 
 here was naturally the "chief seats" of honor, after which the

 Scribes and Pharisees strove so eagerly. " Here, too, in iront of the 
 Ark, still reproducing the type of the Tabernacle, was the eight- 
 branched lamp, lighted only on the greater festivals. Besides this 
 there was one lamp kept burning perpetually. A little further 
 towards the middle of the building was a raised platform on which 
 several persons could stand at once, and in the middle of this rose 
 a pulpit in which the Reader stood to read the lesson or sat down to 
 teach. Luke 4: 16-20. The congregation were divided, men on 
 one side, women on the other, a low partition, five or six feet high, 
 running between them. The arrangements of modern synagogues, 
 for many centuries, have made the separation more complete by 
 placing the women in low side-galleries, screened off by lattice-work. 
 The ritual of the synagogue was to a large extent the reproduction 
 of the statelier liturgy of the Temple." " Moses " was " read in the 
 synagogues every Sabbath day " (Acts 15 : 21), the whole Law being 
 read consecutively, so as to be commonly completed in a year. The 
 writings of the prophets were read as second lessons, in a correspond- 
 ing order. They were folio wed. by the " word of exhortation " (Acts 
 13 : 15), the exposition, the sermon of the synagogue. The third, sixth, 
 and ninth hours (answering to the hours of nine, twelve, and three) 
 were the fixed times of devotion. Acts 3 : 1 ; 10 : 3, 9. In the syna- 
 gogue we trace the foundation and outlines of the Christian Church. 
 "To be gathered to one's people" (Num. 20: 24, 26), and "to 
 go to one's fathers" (Gen. 15: 15), were phrases in which the 
 Israelites expressed life to be a pilgrimage on the face of the earth. 
 
 forty days, not equally violent, but with diminution from day to day. 
 The loudest and the most violent acts were when they washed the 
 body, when they perfumed it, when they carried it out to be interred, 
 at making the inventory, and when they divided the effects. You 
 are not to suppose that those who were ready to split their throats 
 with crying out wept as much ; the greater part of them did not 
 shed a single tear through the whole tragedy." 
 
 In the hot climate of Syria, and owing to the ceremonial unclean- 
 ness incurred by having a dead body in the house, interments were 
 mostly made within twenty-four hours. Among the Hebrews, no 
 coffins were used. The burial clothes consisted of many folds of linen 
 wrappings, with spices, 
 and the bandaging of 
 the head with a napkin.

 To be excluded from the sepulchre of one's fathers, was a signal 
 disgrace. The rich had crypts or caverns hewn in the rocks for 
 burial vaults. Mount Zion held the sepulchres of the kings, while 
 many of the wealthy chose gardens, or shaded spots, for their tombs.' 
 "The roofs of them were in general arched; and some were so 
 spacious as to be supported by colonnades. All 
 round the sides were cells for the reception of 
 the sarcophagi ; these were principally orna- 
 mented with sculpture, and each was placed in 
 its proper cell. The cave or sepulchre admitted 
 
 SHROUDING OF THE DEAD. 
 
 RACHEL'S TOMB. 
 
 Death was rarely regarded as a friendly messenger, but was dreaded 
 as a powerful foe. The nearest of kin to the deceased closed the eyes 
 of the dying, and gave the parting kiss. The corpse was washed 
 with water, and laid out in an upper room. Acts 9 : 37. The loud 
 and shrill lamentations of mourning continued till after the burial. 
 For Jacob " they mourned with a great and very sore lamentation." 
 Gen. 50: 10. Chardinsays: "This is exactly the genius of the 
 people of Asia, especially of the women. Their sentiments of joy 
 and grief are properly transports, and their transports are ungov- 
 erned, excessive, and outrageous. When any one returns from a 
 long journey, or dies, his family burst into cries that may be 
 heard twenty doors off; and this is renewed at different times, and 
 continues many days, according to the vigor of the passion. Espe- 
 cially are these cries long in the case of death, and frightful, for 
 their mourning is right-down despair, and an image of hell. I was 
 lodged, in the year 1676, at Ispahan, near the royal square; the 
 mistress of the next house to mine died at that time ; the moment 
 she expired, all the family, to the number of twenty-five or thirty 
 people, set up such a furious cry, that I was quite startled, and was 
 above two hours before I could recover myself. These cries continue 
 a long time ; then cease all at once ; they begin again as suddenly, 
 at daybreak, and in concert. It is this suddenness which is so 
 terrifying, together with a greater shrillness and loudness than one 
 could easily imagine. This enraged kind of mourning continued for I

 extant in Jndea; two in particular are more 
 magnificent than all the rest, and are supposed 
 to be the sepulchres of the kings. One of these is in Jerusalem,

 and contains twenty-four cells; the other, containing twice that 
 number, is in a place without the city." The walls of these tombs 
 were frequently whitewashed and beautified; thus these were a 
 fitting comparison for the Saviour in classing Scribes and Pharisees 
 with hypocrites: "Ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed 
 appear beautiful outward, but within are full of dead men's bones, 
 and of all uncleanness." Matt. 23 : 27. 
 
 Owing to the care taken in their erection and preservation, multi- 
 tudes of these vaults abound throughout Palestine. Rachel's tomb 
 is just outside of Bethlehem, on the road to Jerusalem. Jer. 31 : 15.

 they were naturally led by their affection for the departed to embalm 
 the corpse. They had three processes of performing this operation, 
 the costliest of which amounted to one thousand dollars. This 
 method was adopted in embalming Jacob and Joseph ; and two cen- 
 turies after, the body of the latter was conveyed from Egypt to the 
 land of promise. In embalming, the corpse was filled with astrin- 
 gent and preservative drugs. For thirty days, oil of cedar, myrrh, 
 cinnamon, etc., were used for anointing the body, and it was then 
 laid in nitre for forty days. This process preserved the body from 
 decay, and gave it a life-like appearance. After being washed, and

 CORPSE DRAWN BY OXEN, AND FOLLOWED BY MOURNERS. 
 
 We have briefly referred to the subjects of "mournine," and 
 " the burying of the body ; " but, in conclusion, desire to add a few 
 customs incident to them, and illustrated in the accompanying en- 
 gravings. The mourning dress was not fixed among the Hebrews, 
 
 either by law or custom, but 
 they used to tear their gar- 
 ments, and also weep and 
 howl, while throwing them- 
 selves prostrate upon the 
 ground. Anciently sackcloth 
 of course brown or black stuff 
 was worn during times of 
 mourning. It was at times the 
 custom to draw the corpse to 
 the place of burial by means 
 of oxen; but most frequently 
 to carry the body on a

 God's Word and the open book of Nature are 
 alike full of teachings in parables. Spiritual truths 
 whose purity and depths cannot be fully known by 
 mortals, are therein clothed in forms which can be 
 seen by the eyes, heard by the ears, handled by the 
 hands, and understood by the mind. All the dis- 
 coveries which patient observation and conscientious 
 comparison establish — and these make up science — 
 are "profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for cor- 
 rection, for instruction in righteousness. ' ' 2 Tim. 
 3: 16. The Creator hath made all things, and all 
 things show forth His thoughts in their handy-work. 
 ' ' Ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee ; 
 and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee : or 
 speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee ; and the 
 fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee. Who 
 knoweth not in all these that the hand of the Lord 
 hath wrought this?" Job 12: 8, 9. A thoughtful 
 writer has said that animals are visible images of the 
 vices and the virtues of mankind. However this be, 
 three of the wisest men of old, Job, David, and 
 Solomon, were well read in the habits of the beasts 
 of the field and forest, the fowls of the air, the fishes 
 of the sea, and drew lessons of much value from 
 their contemplation. And Jesus of Nazareth, the 
 great Imaianuel, thought it good to point a moral 
 by the cunning fox, the motherly hen, the sparrow 
 cared for by God, the short-lived grass, and the lily 
 arrayed in loveliness. And further yet, some ani- 
 mals were especially selected as types to set forth 
 the covenant-purposes of the Almighty for our sal- 
 vation. As the Paschal Lamb, the Redeemer suffered 
 meekly and uncomplainingly for our transgressions; 
 as the wild scape-goat, He bore away His people's 
 sins forever ; as the fiery serpent, He was hung upon 
 the cross, scorned and hated by men, yet bestowing 
 the life that knoweth no death on all that look upon 
 Him with eyes of faith. The loving, peaceful, and 
 swift-winged dove is peculiarly the fitting emblem of 
 the Holy Ghost. He who would rightly appreciate 
 the beauty and force of Scriptural allusions to the 
 creatures of the dumb creation over which he was 
 made lord, will find the study of their natures and 
 habits full of interest and profit. 
 
 The ADDER is about a foot in length and two 
 inches in circumference. Its color is black and 
 white. The Hebrew word is indiscriminately trans- 
 lated Viper, and sometimes Cockatrice. Isa. 59 : 5. 
 Its sting is extremely poisonous : the body of the 
 victim bitten swells, and death is speedy. Prov. 
 23: 32: " Biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like 
 an adder." The common people call it deaf. Psa. 
 
 58: 4. "Like 
 the deaf adder 
 that stoppeth

 animals whose dead bodies would taint the air. A stock of provisions 
 is gathered in summer (Prov. 30 : 25) ; should this become exhausted, 
 they cluster together in their homes in a state of stupor. 
 
 APE. 1 Kings 10: 22. The tribe of monkeys, apes, and baboons 
 rudely resembles man. Ancient Egyptians worshipped the ape. It 
 is not a native of Canaan, but was added by Solomon to his collec- 
 tion of animals. Apes live, in groups in the forest, and feed on 
 fruits, leaves, and insects. In Isa. 13: 21, " satyrs shall dance " on

 South of Judca, the desert country is 
 
 EGYPTIAN ASPS. 
 
 The ASS is, in the East, one of the cleverest of domestic animals, 
 and affectionate when kindly treated. Gen. 12: 16; Judg. 10: 4. 
 It is stately, lively, and active, even excelling the horse in speed, 
 endurance, and power to thrive on meagre fare. It is highly prized, 
 
 and Deborah speaks of nobles 
 (or officers of justice) who 
 "ride on white asses." Al- 
 though its flesh was forbidden 
 to the Jews, yet so sore was 
 the famine when Benhadad, 
 king of Assyria, besieged Sa- 
 maria, that "an ass's head 
 was sold for four-score pieces 
 of silver." Christ rode into 
 Jerusalem on the ass as the 
 Prince of Peace, and not as a 
 warrior on a war-horse. The 
 alighting of those that ride is 
 considered in the East a token of deep respect. Thus Rebekah 
 alighted, having first veiled herself. Gen. 24: 64. Balaam rode 
 from Pethor to Moab on an ass, and Samson slew a thousand Philis- 
 tines with the jaw-bone of one. 
 
 The WILD ASS is more dignified, symmetrical, and handsome ; it 
 was anciently found in Palestine. Celebrated for its swiftness, it is 
 almost untamable when caught. " He scorneth the multitude of the 
 city, neither regardeth he the crying of the driver. The range of 
 the mountain is his pasture, and he searcheth after every green thing." 
 Job 39 : 7, 8. 
 
 The BADGER is a small, inoffensive animal, noted for its long, thick 
 fur. It was found by the Israelites before entering Canaan, and its 
 skin was probably used as a covering for the Tabernacle (Exod. 
 25 : 5); but some refer this to the skin of a seal found in the Red 
 Sea. 
 
 The BAT, or " flier in darkness," is an unclean, abhorrent animal. 
 Desolation is signified by its dwelling-place. As it absolutely swarms 
 with parasitic insects, the caves and ruins to which it resorts become 
 noisome, loathsome, uninhabitable. At the coming of Christ's 
 kingdom, "a. man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, 
 which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and 
 to the bats." Isa. 2 : 20. 
 
 BEARS in ancient times were common in Palestine ( 1 Sam. 1 7 : 34), 
 and are still to be found about Lebanon. They are clumsy and 
 heavy, with massive limbs and destructive claws : their hug is crush-

 BEES OF PALESTINE. 
 
 ing. In temper, they are sullen, ferocious, yet sagacious, and very 
 careful of their young. " Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a 
 man, rather than a fool in his folly." Prov. 17 : 12. Living chiefly 
 in dens, caves, or hollow trees, they will lie in wait among the 
 bushes, and strike down their prey with their strong paw. 
 2 Kings 2 : 24. 
 
 BEES were anciently so plentiful in Palestine, that "a land 
 flowing with milk and honey" was a fitting term to express 
 its fertility and natural wealth. In some parts, the swarms 
 of bees have made the precipitous ravines impassable to hu- 
 man beings. Large stores of combs are found in the cliffs 
 and trees, very good to the taste, and of delicious fragrance. 
 As soon as plants begin to flower, bees collect honey and wax. 
 These v they store in cells, whose planning shows admirable 
 contrivance to save space and material. The wandering 
 Israelites dreaded the severe stings inflicted by wild bees. 
 "And the Amorites, which dwelt in that mountain, came out 
 against you, and chased you, as bees do, and destroyed you 
 in Seir, even unto Hormah. And ye returned and wept be- 
 fore the Lord." Deut. 1 : 44, 45. 
 
 BEETLE, a species of black locust, having a broad white 
 band upon it; it was allowed to be eaten. Lev. n : 22. It 
 abounded in Egypt, where it was worshipped, and was a 
 devourer of every thing in its way. "I will send swarms 
 of flies upon thee " (Exod. 8 : 21) many apply to the Beetle. 
 The BEHEMOTH, or Hippopotamus, is found only in the 
 great rivers of Egypt, living in the water, and feeding on the 
 herbage and branches upon the banks. It is a huge, powerful, 
 and unwieldy animal, nearly seventeen feet long, with a 
 mouth two feet wide, and formidable teeth. A thick hide 
 covered with hair protects it from sword and arrow thrusts.

 BITTERN, a solitary bird, the size of a heron, never flying in day- 
 time, and having a wild, doleful cry. It lives in the most retired 
 spots of marshy ground, and resorts to forsaken ruins, staying where 
 the raven will not go. It is the first to depart before civilization, and 
 
 the last to return when a 
 place is abandoned. "The 
 bittern shall possess it" (Isa. 
 34: 11) is the final curse: 
 it implies that the place is 
 to become uninhabited and 
 uninhabitable. Of Babylon 
 the prophet said : "I will 
 also make it a possession for 
 the bittern, and pools of 
 water : and I will sweep it 
 with the besom of destruc- 
 tion, saith the Lord of 
 hosts." Isa. 14: 23. 
 
 The WILD BOAR is a 
 formidable and ferocious animal, the parent-stock of the common hog. 
 It lias long and sharp tusks, which inflict most dangerous wounds. 
 Wild boars yet frequent the marshes around the Jordan, and the 
 neighborhood of the Sea of Tiberias. They delight to plunder vine- 
 yards, devouring and trampling under foot immense quantities of

 CAMELS AND THEIR FURNITURE. 
 
 grapes. Israel was beautifully compared to a goodly vine, the hedges 
 of which were broken down : " the boar out of the wood doth waste 
 it ; and the wild beast of the field doth devour it." Psa. 80 : 13. 
 
 The CAMEL — " the land-ship," " the carrier of the desert " — is 
 first mentioned in Gen. 12: 16. This invaluable animal is exceed- 
 
 ingly tough, strong, and tireless in labor. Its foot has an elastic sola 
 which keeps it from sinking into the sand, and makes it sure-footed. 
 Its humps swell with accumulated tat, which disappear in famine 
 times. Often it will drink twenty gallons of water at a time; for its 
 stomach has a paunch which will preserve a supply fresh for many 
 days. Coarse leaves, figs, and thistles are its food. A pound of 
 dates or barley will satisfy it for twenty-four hours. It never seems 
 fatigued. Kneeling it receives its load, and will carry uncomplain- 
 ingly from five hundred to twelve hundred pounds. Ordinarily it 
 travels from two to five miles an hour, and can trot to twelve miles. 
 In some districts, flocks of these exceed in value the sheep, and are 
 more useful than the goats. The number of his camels indicates an 
 Arab's wealth. Although it was an unclean animal to the Israelites,

 yet the Arabs drink its milk. At times, it is obstinate, stupid, and 
 ferocious. Its height elevates its rider above the eddies of hot air 
 and sand, lets him enjoy the slightest breeze, and enables him to see 
 any one approaching. Camels, horses, and elephants have had their 
 heads, necks, bodies, and legs highly ornamented from the earliest 
 times. The cost of such trappings is often very great. Crescent- 
 shaped ornaments are made of shells, and hung so abundantly on the 
 harness that they jingle at every step. Sheiks, and other men of 
 rank, have them made out of silver. Matt. 19 : 24: "The eye of a 
 needle " in the East is applied to a low-arched door of an enclosure; 
 and to pass through it, the camel must be unloaded, kneel, and bow 
 its head. Thus only can a rich man enter the kingdom of heaven. 
 The Dromedary is a slighter and swifter variety, but otherwise not 
 distinguishable. 
 
 CATTLE are, without exception, the most useful animals to man, 
 and are mentioned as domesticated in the earliest records of the race. 
 Gen. 4:20. Orientals eat but little meat, and dress it immediately 
 after the killing, owing to the heat of the climate; but milk 
 and butter they consume in large quantities. Oxen were used 
 chiefly for labor : the galling of their necks by the heavy yoke, 
 is referred to by the prophet as showing men should learn 
 patience by trials : " It is good for a man that he bear the yoke 
 in his youth." Lam. 3: 27. They were used for riding by 
 women and the aged, also in agriculture, as in treading out the 
 grain upon the threshing-floor. Considerate kindness to all 
 dependants was inculcated by the command : " Thou shalt not 
 muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn." Deut. 25 : 4. 
 Young bullocks, oxen, and calves were constantly needed for 
 the sacrifices ; and from the earliest times the Israelites con- 
 sidered herd-keeping an honorable occupation. Oxen were 
 driven with a goad, a long, stout stick armed with a spike, 
 which sometimes served as a weapon. A traveller in Syria says: 
 "The country people were everywhere at ploughing in the 
 fields, in order to sow cotton. It was observable that in plough- 
 ing they used goads of an extraordinary size ; upon measuring 
 of several, I found them to be about eight feet long, and at 
 the bigger end six inches in circumference. They were armed 
 at the lesser end with a sharp prickle for driving the oxen, and 
 at the other end with a small spade, or paddle of iron, strong 
 and massy, for cleansing the plough from the clay that encum- 
 bers it in working. May we not from hence conjecture that it 
 was with such a goad as one of these that Shamgar made that

 prodigious slaughter related of him? Judg. 3:21. I am confident 
 that whosoever should see one of these instruments, would judge it 
 to be an instrument not less fit, perhaps fitter, than the sword for 
 such an execution." Such goads are necessary because the same 
 person both drives the oxen, and also manages the plough. In Egypt 
 a live bull called Apis was worshipped as an emblem of Osiris, and 
 hence it was the Hebrews were prompted to make a golden calf. 
 
 CHAMELEON. Lev. 1 1 : 30. A species of lizard, six inches long, 
 and very plentiful in the Holy Land, whose eyes turn backward or 
 forward independently of each other. It has the property of inflating 
 itself with air, and of changing its color to blue, green, purple, or 
 even black. It feeds on flies, which it catches with its tongue ; and 
 when pursued, it can rapidly force itself into the sand. 
 
 CHAMOIS, "the leaper," is thought to be the handsome, well- 
 shaped Aouad. This is a large, powerful, and exceedingly active 
 animal, in habits resembling the goat rather than the sheep. Its 
 height is three feet, color pale dun ; dark masses of long hair fall 
 from the neck and knees. Its horns are two feet in length, and of 
 considerable diameter, curving boldly and gracefully ; musical instru- 
 ments were probably made of these. The Aouad lives in little flocks, 
 preferring rocky ground. Its flesh is palatable, and was allowed to 
 the Jews. Deut. 14: 5. 
 
 The COCK, a domestic fowl well known, having its plumage infi- 
 nitely varied, at times very rich and beautiful. To the watchful care 
 of the hen in providing her young with food, Jesus compared his 
 considerate love for his people: "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that 
 killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how 
 often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen 
 gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not." Matt. 
 23: 37. "Fatted fowl," probably reared for Solomon, are spoken 
 of in 1 Kings 4: 23 ; and they were evidently abundant in Jerusalem 
 in the time of Christ. Matt. 26: 74. 
 
 COCKATRICE, a quaint old. English word, denoting a highly 
 venomous serpent; sometimes translated Adder. Probably it indi- 
 cates the yellow viper, one of the largest and most poisonous species 
 in Palestine. In the time of the peaceful millennium, "the weaned 
 child shall put its hand on the cockatrice's den." Isa. 11: 8.

 THE CONEY. 
 
 CONEY, a small, rabbit-like animal, of clumsier build, and with- 
 out a tail. It resides among the cliffs, and leaps with great agility 
 from rock to rock: "The coneys are but a feeble folk, yet make they 
 their houses in the rocks." Prov. 30: 26. Timid, gregarious, and 
 so gentle that it shrinks from the shadow of a passing bird, yet it is so 
 crafty that no trap or snare can take it. Solomon calls coneys "wise," 
 as well as "a feeble folk." Its food is fruit, or green grass. It is 
 lively, active, and easily tamed. 
 
 CORALS are ranked by Job among the precious stones. Coral 
 abounds in the Red Sea, and most of the houses on the western coast 
 of Arabia are built out of it, as it is soft to work. It is a marine 
 production, often resembling a branch with twigs, formed by the 
 labors of minute insects. Yet it is never built above low water mark, 
 and each articulation is probably the enclosure of a distinct animal. 
 Job pertinently asks: "Where shall wisdom be found? and where is 
 the place of understanding? Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all 
 living, and kept close from the fowls of the air. No mention shall 
 be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above 
 rubies." Tob 28: 12, 18, 20. 
 ? 
 
 CORMORANT, a most voracious water-bird, as large as a goose. 
 It will eat its own weight of fish in a day, swallowing them head 
 downwards. Its long beak and snake-like neck give it the power to 
 dart on its prey with great rapidity. A rocky ledge, almost inacces- 
 sible, shelters the nest. The flesh is rank and offensive,.and was pro- 
 hibited to the Jews. Lev. 11: 17. In Isa. 34: 11, and Zeph. 2: 14, 
 it should read Pelican. 
 
 CRANE, a noble bird, five feet in height, and seven feet across its 
 expanded wings ; in form slender, and of erect carriage. In summer, 
 it visits the north of Europe and Asia; in winter, it is found in Syria, 
 Egypt, and India. During these migratory journeys, cranes soar, in 
 huge flocks of many thousands, high in the air beyond sight, giving 
 a trumpet-like cry which attracts attention. "Like a crane or swal- 
 low, so do I chatter." Isa. 38: 14. Jer. 8: 7 celebrates its instinct: 
 "It observes the time of its coming." Dr. Robinson compares 
 these migratory birds to a dying Christian: "They linger in the 
 scenes which they have frequented, but instinct compels them to 
 move. ' ' 
 
 By CUCKOO is probably meant the sea-swallow. It abounds on 
 low, sandy shores, often depositing eggs above high-water mark. 
 Deut. 14: 15 forbade it to be eaten, and ordered it to be held as an 
 abomination. 
 
 DOGS were held in great contempt by the Jews, but were wor- 
 shipped by the Egyptians. Orientals despise them, and the Scrip- 
 tures mention them with opprobrium. "But now they that are 
 younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I would have dis- 
 dained to have set with the dogs of my flock." Job 30: 1. "And 
 the Philistine said unto David, Am I a dog that thou comest to me 
 with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods." 1 Sam. 
 17: 43. Dogs are gaunt in the East, because half-starved, and prowl 
 in the streets like packs of wolves. They have no masters, and the 
 charitable feed them. As they devour dead animals and all kinds of 
 offal as scavengers, Jezebel's fate was the most repulsive that could 
 befall her. 2 King 9: 30-37. Unlike our dogs, they know neither 
 kindness nor domestication. Bruce thus relates a scene at Gondar: 
 "The bodies of those killed by the sword were hewn to pieces, and 
 scattered about the streets, being denied burial. I was miserable, 
 and almost driven to despair, at seeing my hunting dogs, twice let 
 loose by the carelessness of my servants, bringing into the courtyard 
 the heads and arms of slaughtered men, and which I could no way 
 prevent but by the destruction of the dogs themselves." 
 
 The DOVE and pigeon are to birds what the sheep and lamb are 
 to' animals: symbols of Scriptural truths, and objects of sacrifice. 
 The Dove especially represented the Holy Spirit, typifying simplicity, 
 fidelity, innocence, and peacefulness. Doves are very gentle and 
 social, faithful and affectionate to their mates. Rapid and sustained 
 flight are characteristics; the carrier pigeon has sped forty miles in a 
 half hour. Desiring to escape his enemies, David exclaimed : "Oh, 
 that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away and be at 
 rest. Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness." 
 Psa. 55 : 6. Immense flocks inhabit the Holy Land. As they cost 
 very little to keep in dove-cots, and could always be gathered for 
 nothing out of their nests in the rocky sides of any of the hundreds of 
 ravines, there was a peculiar kindliness to the poor shown in allowing 
 them to be offered in the place of a costlier sacrifice. Such an offering 
 was made by the parents of Jesus, because they were too poor to give 
 a lamb to the altar. But the priestly zealots contrived to overcome 
 this divine consideration for the poor by unnecessary restrictions as to 
 age and plumage. The dove's plaintive, monotonous cooing is men- 
 tioned (Nah. 2:7; Isa. 38: 14); and its beauty is often alluded to 
 in Song 1: 15; 5: 12; 6:9. The scribes called it the type of Israel, 
 saying, It is the most persecuted, being gentle, meek, and unable to 
 resist; unable to fight with beak or claws, it has only its wings for 
 safety: as the wings are to the dove, so is the Law to Israel — its 
 strength. 
 
 EAGLE, the "king of birds." The golden eagle is found in Pales- 
 tine, measuring nearly five feet in height, and nearly five feet across 
 the wings. It is famous for its very great strength, power, rapidity, 
 and height of flight (Job 9 : 26) ; and its proverbial keen sight detects 
 its food at a distance. It was the national emblem on the Assyrian, 
 Persian, and Roman standards, and is now the device of the United 
 States. Among the evils predicted by Moses upon the Israelites in 
 case they violated their covenant with God, was this: "The Lord 
 shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, 
 as swift as the eagle flieth." Deut. 28: 49. Jeremiah also used the 
 same figure for Nebuchadnezzar's invasion: "Behold, he shall come 
 up as clouds, and his chariots as a whirlwind : his horses are swifter 
 
2 4 
 
 ILLUSTRATED CYCLOPEDIA OF THE BIBLE. 
 
 than eagles." Jer. 4: 13. These prophecies wonderfully prefigured 1 
 the terrible desolators of Judea, who bore eagles' wings for standards, 
 and as ornaments on their shields, helmets, and shoulders. Balaam in 
 his prophecy compared the habitation of the Kenites to the nest of 
 the eagle, which is securely placed among the highest and most inac- 
 cessible peaks: "Strong is thy dwel- 
 ling, and thou puttest thy nest in a 
 rock." Num. 24: 21. 
 
 The FERRET was scarcely well 
 enough known to the Israelites to be 
 interdicted as food. Lev. n: 30. 
 This prohibition probably indicates 
 the Gecko, or wall-lizard, which has 
 a cry similar to its name, and can 
 crawl up a perpendicular wall. It is 
 as repulsive as the toad, and equally 
 harmless ; but the Arabs believe it 
 poisons food over which it passes. 
 
 FLIES swarm in such myriads in 
 Egypt that a foreigner eats, drinks, 
 and breathes them ; they gather in his 
 eyes, often causing ophthalmia. An 
 east wind brings them into Palestine 
 in vast numbers. Whole districts have 
 been depopulated by their incessant 
 attacks. The Philistines and Canaan- 
 ites worshipped Beelzebub, "the fly 
 god," hoping to protect themselves 
 against these tormenting insects. Isa. 
 7 : 18 : " The Lord shall hiss for the 
 fly that is in the uttermost parts of the 
 rivers of Egypt," probably refers to 
 the fly of Ethiopia, a little larger than 
 a bee. This makes a loud buzzing 
 with its wings, and has a pointed pro- 
 boscis which penetrates the flesh. Its unceasing annoyance sometimes 
 irritates animals to death. 
 
 FISHES that have scales and fins were largely used as food by the 
 Israelites, and Solomon speaks of them (1 Kings 4: 33); yet there 
 is not a single word in the Hebrew by which one fish can be distin- 
 guished from another. The Nile and the Sea of Tiberias were alike 
 
 these poisonous waters ; hence the force of the wonderful healing of 
 these waters prophesied in Ezek. 47 : 10 : "And it shall come to pass 
 that the fishers shall stand upon it from En-gedi even untoEn-eglaim; 
 they shall be a place to spread forth nets ; their fish shall be according 
 to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many." Fish 
 
 noted for the abundance and excellence of their finny tribes, 
 salem had a fish-market and a fish-gate. 2 Chron. 33 : 14. 
 
 Jeru-

 shark, ray, sheat, lamprey, and eel were excluded by the Levitical 
 law. The great fish that swallowed Jonah was not a whale, but prob- 
 ably a shark ; and the " dragon " of Ezek. 29 : 13, means the croco- 
 dile. Fish carried by the Jordan into the Dead Sea die on entering 
 
 BALD EAGLE. 
 
 were venerated by the Egyptians, and the Philistines worshipped 
 Dagon, the "fish god." 
 
 The FOX is cunning, voracious, and mischievous, a dweller in 
 crevices. By it the Saviour illustrated his humility and poverty : 
 "The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the 
 Son of man hath not where to lay his head." Matt. 8 : 20. It was 
 very fond of spoiling vineyards : " Take us the foxes, the little foxes, 
 that spoileth vines, for our vines have tender grapes." Song 2 : 15. 
 The fox is quite solitary in its movements, and quite abundant in 
 Palestine. The Jackal, which is a nocturnal, gregarious animal, com- 
 bining the fierceness of the wolf with the impudence of the dog, and 
 living on carrion, is much more plentiful. Its bowlings are fearful. 
 Unlike the fox, it hunts prey in packs of from one to three hundred. 
 Hence it must have been to jackals that Samson tied firebrands to 
 revenge himself on the Philistines: "He let them go into the stand- 
 ing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks, and also 
 the standing corn, with the vineyards and olives." Judg. 15 : 5. 
 
 FROGS are numerous in Palestine, Syria, and Egypt. From this 
 second plague the Egyptians suffered keenly, because their habits 
 were exceedingly fastidious. So abundant are frogs in the marshes 
 that the surface is at times covered with them. They symbolize 
 unclean spirits in Rev. 16: 13. 
 
 The GIER-EAGLE, or Egyptian Vulture, is an unclean bird, equal 
 to the raven in size, though its wings are enormously long. Lev. 
 11 : 14. Its white body contrasts handsomely with the dark-brown 
 feathers of the wings. So excellent a scavenger is it, feeding on car- 
 casses and every kind of garbage, that its life is preserved in the East 
 by stringent laws ; thus it has become fearless of individuals. Its 
 nest is built on a rocky ledge, and its flight is rapid. 
 
 The GLEDE is an unclean bird (Deut. 14: 131, v Vich has been 
 variously thought to be the kite, buzzard, or peregrin, falcon. These 
 latter are quite common in Palestine, and live among the loftiest 
 cliffs. 
 
 GNATS, or mosquitos, are small, stinging insects, quite numerous 
 and troublesome in the Holy Land, especially near streams. Matt. 
 23 : 24, " strain at a gnat," should be " strain out," referring to the 
 practice of removing the unclean gnat from liquids before drinking. 
 
 GOATS were kept in large flocks by the Israelites, being as valu- 
 able in the hilly and craggy districts as sheep were in the plains. 
 Kids were oftener eaten than lambs. Judg. 6: 19; Luke 15: 29. 
 While the docile sheep walk quietly behind the shepherd, the goats 
 always skip and jump along the sides of the rocks. Goats are 
 
!: 
 
 THE ANIMALS OF THE HOLY BIBLE. 
 
 25 
 
 sprightly, dexterous, and capricious, easily nourished and useful. 
 Their milk is sweet and nutritious. Their hair was woven into cloth 
 for the tabernacle, and water-bottles were made out of their skins. 
 
 SYRIAN GOAT. 
 
 In sacrifices, goats were as much used as lambs, and in the Day of 
 Atonement this animal only was offered. A goat with one horn was 
 the symbol of Macedonia, and that country was thus prefigured in 
 the prophecy of Daniel 8:5. 
 
 ROCK GOAT. 
 
 The WILD GOAT, or Ibex (1 Sam. 24: 2), was found in the 
 mountain tops south and east of the Dead Sea, where it lived in little 
 flocks of eight or ten. Its flesh was excellent, and highly esteemed. 
 In agility and wariness it was unexcelled ; and the Lord forcibly 
 asked Job : " Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock 
 bring forth?" 39 : 1. The ibex was that scape-goat which yearly 
 bore the sins of Israel far away into the wilderness. 
 
 The GRASSHOPPER, named as an article of food in Lev. 11: 
 22, is thought to be the larva of the locust, an insignificant and 
 timid creature. "The grasshopper shall be a burden " (Eccl. 12: 
 5), is a figure to denote the extreme feebleness and shrunken appear- 
 ance of man in old age. 
 
 HARES, akin to rabbits, which were plentiful in Palestine, were 
 forbidden as food, " because they divide not the hoof." Lev. 11:6. 
 Of sight and hearing most acute, the hare's timidity is unequalled, 
 and its swiftness surpassed by none. It lives principally on dry, flat 
 ground. 
 
 The HART and HIND (Deut. 12: 15) belonged to a species of 
 deer celebrated for- its elegance, agility, and grace. "My beloved 
 is like a roe or a young 
 hart : behold, he stand- 
 eth behind our wall, he 
 looketh forth at the 
 windows, shewing him- 
 self through the lattice. ' ' 
 Song 2:9; Isa. 35 : 
 6. The hind keeps a 
 watchful care over its 
 young: "Canst thou 
 mark when tire hinds do 
 calve?" Job 39 : 1. It 
 was a type of solitude 
 and purity of life, also 
 of piety and religious 
 aspiration: "As the hart 
 panteth after the water 
 brooks, so panteth my 
 soul after thee, O God. ' ' 
 Psa. 42 : 1. To express 
 the agility, swiftness, 
 and valor of ancient 
 warriors, their feet were 
 compared to "hinds' 
 feet." Psa. 18: ^t,. 
 
 HAWK, a strong-winged

 rapacious bird, forbidden as food. In 
 the wisdom of the Creator: " Doth the 
 hawk fly by thy wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south?" 
 Job 39: 26, 
 
 The HERON, a bird remarkably light in proportion to its size, is 
 three feet long, five broad, and weighs three pounds. It lives on the 
 banks of rivers, or in marshes, builds its nest on the top of a lofty 
 tree, feeds on fish, insects, etc., and sociably gathers into large socie- 
 ties. Its beak is a strong weapon, and its flight is powerful. Lev 
 n : 19 forbade it as food. 
 
 GRASSHOPPER. 
 
 THE HORNET. 
 
 HORNETS were sent against the Canaanites in punishment for 
 their iniquities, and to clear the land for the Israelites : "I will send 
 hornets before thee." Exod. 23: 27, 28. They abound in Pales- 
 tine, and their sting is quite painful. Men and beasts alike fear and 
 flee from their attacks. 
 
 HORSES were common in Egypt (Gen. 47: 17); but the Jews 
 were forbidden to collect them (Deut. 17: 16; Josh. 11 : 6), probably 
 in order to keep the people from attempting foreign conquests. 
 Oxen and asses were more in use anciently. Solomon brought horses 
 from Egypt, and sold them to Syrian and Phoenician kings. The 
 war-horse is vividly sketched in Job 39 : 19-25. A conqueror rode 
 
26 
 
 ILLUSTRATED CYCLOPEDIA OF THE BIBLE. 
 
 on a white horse to celebrate his triumph. Rev. 6: 2. Arabian 
 horses are peculiarly swift, intelligent, anil symmetrical. 
 
 The HORSE LEECH has a thick body, with head and tail slender. 
 It is common in Palestine, where it lives in pools of stagnant water, 
 and cruelly harasses animals by fastening on their tongues and nos- 
 trils while drinking. It is a type of rapacity : " The horse leech has 
 two daughters, crying, Give, give." Prov. 30: 15. 
 
 KITE (Lev. 11 : 14), a bird of prey, almost perpetually on the 
 wing. Its flight is easy and elegant. It likes to hover long over the 
 young fowl on which it seeks to prey. 
 
 The LAPWING, or Hoopoe, is remarkable for the beautiful crest 
 which ornaments its head. It is a hoarse-voiced, migratory bird, the 
 size of a thrush. Its habits are filthy, and a hollow tree generally 
 holds its repulsive nest. Lev. 11: 19. 
 
 The LEOPARD, a beast of prey of the cat tribe, is four feet long, 
 and of a pale-yellow color, spotted with black. "Can the Ethio- 
 pian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do 
 good, that are accustomed to evil." Jer. 13: 23. It is aggressive, 
 fierce, rapacious, and crafty, quite common in Palestine, and of swift- 
 ness proverbial. Hab. 1 : 8. Deer and antelopes suffer much from 
 its lying in wait : "As a leopard by the way, will I observe them." 
 Hos. 13:7. Its choice skin is highly prized. 
 
 The LEVIATHAN most scholars now identify as the Crocodile. 
 Isa. 27 : 1 : Psa. 74: 13. Its body is nearly thirty feet long, covered 
 with a scaly armor, impenetrable to arrow, spear, and musket-ball, 
 and furnished with a tail that can give crushing blows. Of immense 
 ferocity and strength, fleet in swimming, armed with huge jaws and 
 formidable teeth, it attacks man with impetuosity. Egyptians vene- 
 rated and pampered the crocodile, giving costly jewels and divine 
 honors to it. " Canst thou draw out leviathan with a hook? Canst 
 thou fill his skin with barbed iron? or his head with fish-spears? 
 None is so fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand 
 before me?" Job 41. 
 
 LICE always abounded in Egypt ; and to escape pollution by 
 them, the priests used to wash and shave their entire body every third 
 day. Some think the third plague to have been a mosquito, small 
 and ash-colored. Exod. 8: 16; Psa. 105: 31. Sir Samuel Baker 
 selects the Tick, a dry, horny insect that can live in the dust, which 
 the louse cannot. Ticks are a horrible plague ; their bites are pain- 
 ful and obstinate, while the insect clings so tightly that, after its 
 body has been torn in pieces, the head remains under the skin. 
 
 LIONS OF SYRIA. 
 
 LION, "king of beasts," is the most majestic, strong, and for- 
 midable of the carnivorous tribe. Fully grown, it measures eight 
 feet from the nose to the tail, which is four feet long. It dwells in 
 the depths of forests, and comes out of its lair at night to lie in wait 
 for its prey, as its eyes are too weak to bear the full sunlight. " The 
 young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God." 
 Psa. 104: 20. This roar is like distant thunder, making every hearer 
 quake with fear. Formerly they abounded in Palestine (Judg. 14: 
 5 ), but are now extinct. To the lion's face alone is the human coun- 
 tenance compared in Scripture, and the "Lion of the tribe of Judah" 
 was an ancient symbol of the Redeemer. Job 4:11: "The old lion 
 perisheth for lack of prey," being too weak to obtain it, shows their 
 habits were well-known to the writer. The lion dreads the face of 
 man, and will not attack him unless it is hungry. The Bible mentions it 
 
 more frequently than any other wild animal, especially as emblematic 
 of strength and force. It kills with a blow of its paw, and with its 
 teeth can break the bones of a buffalo. They were anciently caught 
 with nets. Job 19 : 6 : Isa. 51 : 20. 
 
 The LIZARD, an ugly animal, covered with tubercles, literally 
 swarmed in Palestine and Egypt. It was active, quite harmless, and 
 when alarmed hid itself quickly under stones, or in the sand. It usu- 
 ally sought holes in walls, and would cover itself with dirt. Lizards 
 were forbidden as food. Lev. 11 : 30. 
 
 LOCUSTS are migratory insects, and have marvellous powers of 
 destruction. Israel, if disobedient, was to suffer these ravages: 
 " Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shall gather but 
 little in ; for the locust shall con- 
 sume it. All the trees and fruit 
 of thy land shall the locust con- 
 sume." Dent. 28: 38, 42. 
 Their color is brownish, varied 
 with a pale red, and their legs 
 somewhat bluish. They have 
 four wings, of which the hinder 
 pair is the more prominent, 
 
 LOCUSTS. 
 
 and the noise they make in foraging is heard afar off. In such 
 vast quantities do they fly, that the heavens may be literally said to 
 be obscured by them ; and when they resume their flight the country 
 looks as if it had been devastated by fire. In Syria and Egypt they 
 bring desolation and famine by destroying every kind of vegetation, 
 while the putrefaction of myriads of their bodies entails a fearful 
 pestilence. They only travel with the wind, and have very little 
 control over their flight. The Psalmist compared his checkered life 
 with the buffetings these meet with : "I am tossed up and down as 
 the locust." Psa. 109: 23. Solomon dreaded their presence as 
 much as a famine, drought, pestilence, or siege. 1 Kings 8: 37. 
 Trenches have been dug in their path to stop them, but these were 
 soon filled up and crossed by the advancing hosts ; even regiments 
 of soldiers have tried in vain to check them. Joel 2 : 1-11 gives a 
 most vivid picture of their numbers and ravages. Locusts were 
 allowed to be eaten by the Israelites, and were always esteemed a 
 delicacy in the East. When eaten fresh, they are either roasted or 
 boiled in salt and water. Large quantities are dried in the sun ; the 
 heads and wings are thrown aside, and their bodies ground to dow- 
 der, which is mixed with camel's milk or honey. 
 
 MOTHS. 
 
 The MOTH, or "night-flier," is often alluded to in the Scriptures 
 (Job 4: 19), especially as a destroyer of woollen fabrics. Matt. 6: 
 
THE ANIMALS OF THE HOLY BIBLE. 
 
 27 
 
 19, 20. In the East the rich were the sufferers from their ravages, as 
 they kept large wardrobes of costly dresses. These garments, which 
 were loose, and would fit almost any one, were often given as presents. 
 In its larva state the moth's dwelling is very slight : " The wicked 
 buiideth his house as a moth." Job 27 : 18. 
 
 The MOLE, a small animal, coated with a soft fur, burrows in the 
 ground, and is common in Palestine. It was prohibited as food. 
 Lev. 11 : 30. Probably Isa. 2 : 20 refers to the mole rat, an animal 
 eight inches long, having eyes and ears so small as to be scarcely 
 visible. It lives mainly on roots, frequents deserted ruins, and is 
 thus the companion of bats. 
 
 The MOUSE, in proportion to its size, is one of the most destruc- 
 tive of animals. The field-mouse is a terrible enemy to the farmer. 
 It likes the corn-stalks, destroys tender saplings, and burrows in the 
 ground to eat the young rootlets of the forest trees. Lev. n: 19 
 some refer to tne little Jerboa, plentiful in Palestine, noted for its 
 large hind legs, which give it the power of moving in big leaps. It 
 sleeps during "the day, burrows in dry clayey ground, and is quite 
 destructive in its habits. 
 
 OSPREY, or " fish-hawk," is one of the most numerous of the 
 larger birds of prey. Lev. 11 : 13. It lives on the borders of seas, 
 lakes, and rivers, and is found in Palestine. In catching its prey, it 
 hovers in circles over the water, darts clown and seizes its selected 
 fish in its talons, and devours it on shore. 
 
 OSSIFRAGE, or "bone-breaker," has been identified as the 
 Lammergeier, or bearded vulture. This is one of the largest flying 
 birds, being four feet iong, and ten feet in its expanse of wings. Its 
 flight is grand and graceful. It is to be found in pairs in every ra- 
 vine of the Holy 
 Land. It picks 
 the bones of dead 
 animals left by 
 other vultures, 
 breaking them to 
 get at the marrow. 
 To crush the thigh 
 bone of the ox or 
 horse, or the shell 
 of a tortoise, it flies 
 with the object 
 far aloft, and lets 
 it fall upon a rock 
 below. It was ac- 
 counted unclean. 
 Lev. 11 : 13. 
 
 The OSTRICH, 
 or "camel bird," 
 only uses its par- 
 tially developed 
 wings to assist it 
 in running. It is 
 one of the largest 
 of birds, weighs 
 eighty pounds, 
 can carry two 
 men, and covers 
 at each stride a 
 pace of twenty- 
 four feet. In swift- 
 ness, it surpasses 
 the fleetest horse: "It scorneth the horse and his rider." Job 39 : 
 13-19. It is a stupid, unobserving bird, and runs against the wind, so 
 as to scent any approaching enemy. A deep bellow, resembling the 
 lion's, is its cry. It lays its eggs, ten or twelve in number, and 
 weighing three pounds each, in a hole in the sand. The feathers 
 were highly prized, and were used as an emblem of rank. 
 
 OWLS hide in their nests by day and seek their prey at night. 
 They have a remarkable hoot, or startling shriek. Lev. 11 : 16, and 
 Job 30 : 29, should read Ostrich. The Egyptian eagle owl, which 
 delights to live in ruins, away from human beings, is probably referred 
 to in Isa. 34: 11: "The owl also and raven shall dwell in it." The 
 little or barn owl has a curious habit of swaying its body backward 
 and forward, and thus attracts the attention of small birds; these 
 mob it, for they detest it, and are thus often captured by spectators. 
 When it has young, this owl will bring a mouse to its nest every 
 twelve or fifteen minutes. 
 
 The PALMER WORM, or pilgrim worm, was probably the locust 
 
 THE OSTRICH. 
 
 in one of its transitional stages. Joel 1:4. "I have smitten you 
 with blasting and mildew: when your gardens and your vineyards 
 and your fig-trees and your olive-trees increased, the palmer worm 
 devoured them: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the Lord." 
 Amos 4:9. 
 
 PARTRIDGE, a very active "bird of the mountains," which, 
 when pursued, swiftly flees to the ro< ky cliffs to hide, interposing 
 stones and other obstacles between itself and its pursuer. It was 
 hunted by chasing it untiringly until it was worn out; and Saul pur- 
 sued David "as when one doth hunt a partridge in the mountains." 
 1 Sam. 26: 20. When on the wing it makes a circling noise, but 
 walks much more than it flies. The dwellers in Palestine regularly 
 search for the partridge's eggs, which are oftentimes twenty in num- 
 ber, and take them from her; hence the allusion, "as the partridge 
 sitteth on eggs, but hatcheth them not." Jer. 17 : 11. 
 
 PEACOCKS, mentioned in 1 Kings 10: 22, were brought from 
 the East to adorn Solomon's house. Its cry is harsh and discordant; 
 but it has a magnificent plumage, which is shed every year. 
 
 PEARLS, ranked among jewels in Job 28: 18, are small balls de- 
 posited in the most fleshy parts of the pearl oyster and covered over 
 by a secretion from the glands. Bdellium (Gen. 2: 12) in Arabic 
 means pearl. These precious 
 stones were most highly es- 
 teemed in the East. Hence 
 the force of the Saviour's 
 allusion to seeking the "pearl 
 of great price." Matt. 13: 
 46. Each gate of heaven is 
 compared to a pearl. Rev. 
 21 : 21. 
 
 PELICAN, a voracious 
 water-fowl, found in Pales- 
 tine, whose wide and pow- 
 erful wings measure twelve 
 feet across. Its whole skele- 
 ton is permeated with air, 
 making it exceedingly light. 
 It carries its food for many 
 miles in a large pouch, and 
 feeds its young by extracting 
 it with its bill. It lives near 
 man, and is fond of unculti- 
 vated lands. Cormorant, in Isa. 34: 11, and Zeph. 2: 14, should 
 be pelican. After gorging itself with fish, its habit is to sit motion- 
 less for hours, its head sunk on its breast ; and thus the sorrowing 
 Psalmist writes, "I am like a pelican of the wilderness." Psa. 
 102 : 6. 
 
 PIGEONS are very abundant on the coasts and higher parts of 
 Palestine. A traveller thus speaks of seeing them near the Lake of 
 Gennesaret: "No description can give an adequate idea of the 
 myriads of rock pigeons. In absolute clouds they dash to and fro 
 in the ravine, where they whirl around with a rush and a whiz that 
 could be felt like a gust of wind. It was amusing to watch them 
 upset the dignity and the equilibrium of the majestic griffon, as they 
 swept past him. This enormous bird, quietly sailing along, was 
 quite turned on his back by the sudden rush of wings and wind." 
 See Dove.

 THE QUAIL.

 ILLUSTRATED CYCLOPEDIA OF THE BIBLE. 
 
 The PYGARG is a species of white-crouped antelope, probably 
 the Addax, having twisted horns two feet long, it is a sand-loving 
 animal, and was permitted as food. Deut. 14: 5. 
 
 QUAILS resemble the partridge, but are smaller, and their short 
 wings are weak. They fly at night in vast flocks, never against the 
 wind, and will wait for days if it is contrary. The Jordan and the 
 shores of the Dead Sea abound with them. Their flesh has a peculiar 
 excellence. When the quail has flown far, it is so exhausted that it 
 crouches to the earth, and will allow itself to be picked up by the 
 hand, A vast flock were driven to the Israelites in the desert by a 
 wind from the southwest, sweeping over Ethiopia and Egypt towards 
 the shores of the Red Sea. Quails never rise to a great height, and 
 these tired birds were caught two cubits above the ground. Exod. 
 11: 11- 13. 
 
 THE ROE 
 
 X^ ^SP

 The ROE is the Oriental antelope or gazelle, the "bright-eyed." 
 It is easily tamed yet exces- 
 sively timid, generally seeking 
 safety in flight, though able in 
 herds to keep wolves at bay 
 by kicks of the hoofs. Large 
 flocks of them anciently 
 abounded in Palestine. Its 
 gentle nature, its grace and 
 swiftness, its large, liquid eyes, 
 are favorite subjects of meta- 
 phor: Song 2: 7-9. "Asahel 
 was as light of foot as a wild 
 roe." 2 Sam. 2:18. 
 
 The RAVEN, a keen-sighted 
 "bird of night" and of the 
 wilderness, is bold, sagacious, and a devourer of every animal that

 THE RAVEN. 
 
 comes in its way. It is similar to the crow, and its plumage is a deep 
 black. The Raven was common to Palestine, and being unclean, was 
 kept from alighting on the roof of the Temple by sharp iron spikes set 
 
 THE SCORPION. 
 
 closely. As soon as its young can shift for themselves, it harshly 
 drives them away. Elijah was probably fed at the brook Cherith by 
 Arabians, or inhabitants of Oreb, a:; each of these names in Hebrew 
 are similar to the raven's. In eating, the raven always picks out first 
 the eyes of its prey. This fate Solomon denounced upon the wicked 
 child: "The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey 
 his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young 
 eagles shall eat it." Prov. 30: 17. 
 
 The SCORPION is one of the largest and most malignant of the 
 insect tribe. It lives in sandy districts, concealing itself under stones, 
 and feeds on insects which 
 it first stings to death. It 
 runs swiftly, using its tail 
 both for attack and defence, 
 and when it cannot escape, 
 it kills itself. The sting is 
 most painful, causing in- 
 flammation, and sometimes 
 death. Deut. 8: 15; Rev. 
 9:5. So plentiful were they 
 in Palestine that the south- 
 ern boundary of Judea was 
 called "thescorpion'spassj" 
 and the disciples of the Sa- 
 viour were especially blessed 
 by a grant of immunity from 
 scorpions. When curled up, it greatly resembles an egg in size and 
 shape. Hence the comparison in Luke 11: 11, 12: "Ifa son shall 
 ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? 
 or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent ? or if he shall 
 ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?" Rehoboam's threat to 
 chastise with scorpions, referred to a so-called whip made of several 
 thongs, each loaded and tipped with a metal hook, and able to kill 
 by a few blows. 
 
 SERPENTS are numerous in tropical countries, and were espe 
 cially abundant in Judea and Arabia. Seven names are employed in 
 the Hebrew Scriptures to denote 
 them. See Adder, Asp, Cocka- 
 trice, Viper. Their gliding 
 motion is owing to the mobility 
 of their ribs, which are pushed 
 forward and drawn back in suc- 
 cession, so as to catch against 
 any inequality of the ground. 
 They are crafty and malignant 
 (Prov. 30: 19; Matt. 10: 16; 
 23: ^^y> universally abhorred 
 by mankind (Gen. 3: ij, 15); 
 and emblems of the devil (2 
 Cor. 11: 3; Rev. 12: 9). The 
 venomous ones (Psa. 58:4) have 
 two hollow poison-fangs in the 
 upper jaw; but, owing to their sluggish natures, will not use their 
 stings unless seriously provoked. Psa. 58: 4. Snake charmers at 
 times extracted the fangs of the Egyptian cobra, and again often 
 trusted in its sluggishness to escape its sting, soothing the reptile by 
 gentle music. The fiery serpents of the wilderness were exceedingly 
 venomous, and their bites in- 
 flicted great pain. Num. 21: 
 6. " Dan shall be a serpent by 
 the way that biteth the horse" 
 (Gen. 49: 17), probably refers 
 to the gray horned viper of 
 Syria, which lay coiled up in 
 the sand, and gave a deadly 
 sting to any horse that disturbed 
 it. The Egyptian jugglers com- 
 monly used to make a serpent 
 as stiff as a stick by compressing 
 the hinder part of its head ; 
 thus they were able to imitate 
 the miracle of Moses. Exod. 
 7: 11, 12. Its worship was 
 common in Egypt.

 useful of domestic animals, and

 of Israel were compared to the flock (Ezek. 34: 13-15); and the 
 Lamb was the favorite emblem of the Messiah. Pasturage in th« East 
 
 was free, but water was scarce, and the shepherd had to assiduously 
 care for his flock. Psa. 23: 1, 2. Wells were rare, and were kept 
 closed till all the flocks were gathered about them at noontide; then 
 the stones were rolled from off their mouths. Gen. 29: 3. The 
 shepherd passed all his time with his flock, knew every one by sight 
 
 FOUR-HORNED RAM. 
 
 and name, and each answered to his call. His duties were most 
 arduous. Gen. 31: 38-40. At night, he had to watch against the 
 attacks of man or beast; therefore he had his bow, spear, sword, staff, 
 and sling, using the latter as unerringly as a musket. 1 Sam. 17 : 49. 
 He did not drive but led them, and they followed. Psa. 77: 20; 
 John-io: 3-5. In his arms, he carried the little lambs, and sheep 
 heavy with young. The sheep-folds were solid and enduring build- 
 ings of stone ; ofttimes rocky caverns were used. 1 Sam. 24: 2-4. 
 
 ("Eastern Manners and Customs.") Though dogs were treated 
 with but little kindness, and were not used to drive the sheep, they 
 were faithful watchers against wolves and jackals. One of the species 
 of sheep, otherwise long-legged and lean, has an enormous mass of 
 fat in its broad tail, which is one-fifth of its weight ; this part was 
 specially used in sacrifices. Shepherds fix a thin board to the under 
 part of this tail, to prevent its being torn by briers, and some have 
 small wheels attached, so that it may be dragged more easily. Only 
 the rams have horns; these curve backward, and then curl around, 
 so that the point comes under the ear. They go in advance, and 
 generally the oldest one is distinguished by a bell. The uses of the 
 (lock were many. A lamb or kid was seldom killed for food by the 
 poorer classes except in festive times; but a common dish was made 
 by curdling the peculiarly rich milk. Out of the fleece was woven a 
 mantle in which the whole person was folded, and this was often dyed 
 of many colors; sometimes a shepherd made himself a coat of the 
 skin. The horns were prized in proportion to their size, and were 
 used as vessels to carry oil in (1 Sam. 1 : 39); the national trumpets 
 were also made of them. Unlike other nations, the Israelites only 
 offered in sacrifice those animals used as food. Most honored by 
 them was the male Lamb of the Passover — an emblem of innocence, 
 meekness, and purity — peculiarly the most fitting type of the Re- 
 deemer, the sacrifice without blemish. The. ram was the royal ensign 
 of Persia. While at the head of his army, their king wore a ram's 
 head, made of gold and set with precious stones, in place of his dia- 
 dem. By this type the prophet described the Persian kingdom. 
 Dan. 8: 3, 4. In a temperate climate it is astonishing that Gideon's 
 fleece in one night should have become so wet that he "wrung the 
 dew out of the fleece a bowd full of water" (Judg. 6: 38); but in 
 Palestine the miracle was rather that the ground about remained dry. 
 A traveller writes: "Difficult as we find it to keep ourselves cool in 
 the daytime, it is not an easy matter to defend our bodies from the 
 damps of the night, when'the wind is loaded with the heaviest dews 
 that ever fell. We lie exposed to the whole weight of the dews, and 
 the cloaks in which we wrap ourselves are as wet in the morning as 
 if they had been immersed in the sea." Thus it was of Jacob, as he 
 said: "In the day the drought consumed me, 
 and the frost by night." Gen. 31: 40. 
 
 The SNAIL has the power of sinking almost 
 instantly into the sand. It was early used as a 
 medicine, being dried in the sun. Probably its 
 prohibition as food in Lev. 11: 30, refers to 
 some species of lizard. 
 
 SKINS of sheep and goats were probably the 
 materials on which the earliest books were writ- 
 ten. Of these skins parchment was made for 
 writing, leather for manufacturing saddles, san- 
 dals for the feet, bow-strings, and bottles. Skins 
 of camels or oxen were used for larger vessels. 
 Old bottles would burst by the fermentation of 
 wine (Matt. 9: 17); and to their shrunken, 
 sooty appearance when hung (dose to a fire, 
 David compares his lot : "I am become like a 
 bottle in the smoke." Tsa. 119: 83. 
 
 THE ROCK SPARROW. 
 
 THE FLEECE OF GIDEON. 
 
 The SPARROW is a familiar little bird, six 
 inches long, and of a robust form. Several 
 species inhabit Palestine. One is solitary, like

 the thrush, never associating itself with others. " I watch, and am 
 as a sparrow alone upon the house-top." Psa. 102 : 7. The other is 
 peculiarly social, and fond of collecting in numbers upon the flat 
 roofs of the East, on which the dwellers walk in the evening. These 
 were doubtless allowed to build their nests in the beams and rafters 
 of the sacred buildings — "even thine altars, O Lord of hosts." Psa. 
 84: 3. "Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing?" (Matt. 10: 29), 
 refers to the abundance of small birds sold for food in the Jewish 
 market-places. Singing-birds seem to have been anciently kept in 
 cages : "Wilt thou play with me as with a bird?" Job 41 : 5. 
 
 The SPARROW-HAWK was plentiful in Palestine, but was un- 
 clean, and an abomination to the Jews. Lev. n : 16. It is a bold, 
 dashing bird, fond of perching on rocks, or the tops of tall trees. 
 The female is lnrger than the male. On the approach of winter, the 
 northern birds migrate to the southward, and remain stationary in 
 Egypt: "Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom, and stretch her wings 
 toward the South?" Job 39: 26^ It was venerated by the Egyp- 
 tians as an emblem of their deity Osiris. 
 
 The SPIDER has two more legs than most other insects, and is 
 famous for the wonderful mechanism of its spinning apparatus. The 
 fragility of its web is a symbol to express the weakness of evil de- 
 signs. Isa. 59 : 5 : " Their webs shall not become garments, neither 
 shall they cover themselves with their Avorks : their works are works 
 of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands;" also Job 
 8: 14. Very many species inhabit Palestine. Some spin webs ; some 
 dig subterranean cells which they fit with doors; and others chase 
 their prey on the ground. " The spider taketh hold with her hands" 
 (Prov. 30 : 28), probably means the lizard, or gecko. 
 
 The STORK was classed among unclean birds, but was celebrated 
 for its filial affection, for its loving care of its young. It is a migra- 
 tory bird, and conspicuous by 
 its white body and black wings, 
 which latter measure seven feet 
 across. To kill the stork is a 
 heinous crime in the East, as it 
 checks the increase of snakes, 
 and acts as a scavenger. Its 
 nest is clumsily made, and is 
 built anywhere rather than on 
 the ground — upon lofty trees, or 
 chimneys built for ventilation. 
 "The fir-trees are her house." 
 Psa. 104: 17. The same pair 
 will return season after season 
 to the old home, and this nest 
 will be dwelt in for many suc- 
 cessive generations. It is a type 
 of pity, benevolence, mercy. 
 
 The SWALLOW, or "bird 
 of freedom," is not capable of 
 domestication, but enjoys the 
 white stork. protection of mart in all coun- 
 
 tries because of its usefulness in destroying insects injurious to vege- 
 tation. Several kinds are known in Palestine, where they build in 
 house-roofs, or in cliffs of the rocks. Psa. 84: 3. By a marvellous 
 instinct, it is forced at stated seasons to pass from one country to 
 another to enjoy an equable temperature through the year. Its enor- 
 mous length of wings give its great swiftness of flight (Prov. 26 : 2), 
 enable it to keep almost constantly on the wing, and to surpass every 
 other bird in the untiring rapidity of its movements. 
 
 The SWAN is a graceful and majestic bird, rarely found in Pales- 
 tine. In disposition it is peaceful, and noted for its attachment to 
 its young. It feeds on aquatic plants. Probably the ibis, or the 
 purple water-hen is interdicted in Lev. 11 : 18. 
 
 SWINE were detested and abhorred by the Israelites as the most 
 unclean of animals. They would not even mention their name, and 
 felt themselves polluted if they merely touched the bristles. The 
 Prodigal Son reached the lowest depths of degradation in becoming 
 a swineherd. Luke 15 : 15, 16. Isaiah compares the eating of 
 swine flesh to the idolatrous abominations of the Jews. 65 : 4; 66: 3. 
 2 Maccabees records the fate of those who preferred death to this 
 violation of the Levitical law. In hot climates its use as food 
 induces such diseases of the skin as leprosy. 2 Pet. 2 ; 22 compares 
 the conduct of backsliders to the sow "wallowing in the mire." 
 
 The TORTOISE, or TURTLE, was very common in Palestine, 
 and would likely have been eaten if not prohibited. Owing to 
 its slowness of movement, it would have been exterminated long ago 
 
 sif^ 
 
 but for its defensive armor. In summer it moves among the herbage, 
 but during the winter it burrows in the ground. Some think Lev. 
 11:29 refers to the lizard Dhubb, which is three feet long, and has a 
 tail covered with sharply-point- 
 ed, hard-edged scales. It haunts 
 such sandy and rocky spots as 
 abound in the Holy Land. 
 
 The TURTLE DOVE, which 
 is smaller than the common dove 
 or pigeon, is only ten inches in 
 length. It flies southward in the 
 fall, and returns to Palestine in the 
 spring. Song 2: n, 12: "For, 
 lo, the winter is past, the rain is 
 over and gone ; the flowers appear 
 on the earth ; the time of the 
 singing of birds is come, and the 
 voice of the turtle is heard in the 
 land. ' ' Its notes are usually joy- 
 ous, but at times plaintive : "We 
 roar all like bears, and mourn 
 sore like doves." Isa. 59: n. 
 
 The UNICORN, now identi- 
 fied as the Rhinoceros, is seven 
 times mentioned and partially de- TURTLE DOVE, 
 
 scribed in the Old Testament. In Num. 23 : 22 it is said to be very 
 powerful; in Deut. 33: 17, a two-horned, familiar animal; in Psa. 
 22 : 21, dangerous and violent; in Job 39 : 9-12, it is contrasted with 
 tamed cattle. The Rhinoceros is ferocious and malignant, bulky in 
 body, with prodigious, muscular limbs. 
 
 The VIPER of Scripture is supposed to be the Toxicoa, or sand 
 viper. It is quite active, variable in color but striped with white, 
 and its bite is exceedingly dangerous. It was much dreaded by the 
 people of Palestine, and thus 
 became a symbol of whatever is 
 evil and destructive. Jesus and 
 John the Baptist compared the 
 Pharisees and Sadducees to vi- 
 pers. Matt. 3 : 7 ; 23 : 33. On 
 Paul's escape unhurt from a vi- 
 per's fang, the barbarians con- 
 sidered him a god. Acts 28 : 3. 
 
 The VULTURE mentioned 
 in the Old Testament is con- 
 sidered to be the Kite. Isa. 
 34: 15; Job 28: 7. As Gier- 
 eagle, is described the Egyptian 
 Vulture. Two species abound 
 in Palestine. The red Kite is 
 almost as expert as the osprey in 
 catching fish ; its sight is remark- 
 ably piercing. The black Kite is very sociable, and quite careless 
 about the position of its nest. Its flesh was prohibited. 
 
 The WEASEL is called unclean, but not described, in Lev. n: 
 29. It is plentiful in Palestine; but the Ichneumon, or the common 
 mole, may be meant. 
 
 The WHALE is a mammalia living in the sea, which measures 
 from sixty to one hundred feet in length, and thirty to forty in cir- 
 cumference. Its food consists principally of minute fish. Ezek. 
 32: 2, should read crocodile; also Psa. 74: 13, in the place of 
 dragon. Most probably the great fish that swallowed Jonah was 
 the shark. The leviathan of Job 41 is thought to be the crocodile. 
 
 The WOLF, a ferocious, wild animal resembling the dog, was 
 formerly plentiful in Palestine. There it was accustomed to hunt 
 singly, or in small packs. The shepherd had to watch his "flock at 
 night, as the wolf was then abroad for prey, lest the wolf of the eve- 
 ning should spoil it, and scatter the sheep. Jer. 5:6; John 10: 12. 
 It is timid of man, suspicious, persevering in attack, and most 
 dangerous in numbers. The dreadful Chaldeans were said to be 
 "more fierce than evening wolves." Hab. 1 : 8. When entrapped, 
 it suffers itself to be killed without resistance. No animal can escape 
 it by flight, as its long, slinging gallop never flags; and one wolf 
 will do more harm in a flock of sheep than a whole pack of jackals. 
 Isaiah prophesied that in the time of the millennium: "The wolf 
 and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the 
 bullock, and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt 
 nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the Lord." Isa. 65 : 25.

 When the wandering Israelites halted on the borders of the wilder- 
 ness south-west of the Dead Sea, and sent forward picked men to spy 
 out the Promised Land, Canaan was most fertile. Its vegetation, in 
 spite of the contracted boundaries, was of the richest, and was won- 
 derfully varied. A cluster of grapes plucked by the brook of Eshcol 
 was so huge that it had to be borne on a staff by two men, while 
 pomegranates and figs were plentiful. "The land which we passed 
 through to search it, is an exceeding good land," reported Joshua. 
 " If the Lord delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and 
 give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey." Num. 14: 
 7,8. 
 
 Its valleys were fat with pastures for herds of cattle and flocks of 
 sheep, and with fields of grain for man. Sloping hillsides were 
 green with herbage for the goats that scampered down their declivi- 
 ties, and the antelopes that browsed untamed. Mountain streams 
 and lakes watered the land ; fountains gave birth to rills of living 
 water at many points ; welcome wells were dotted over the surface. 
 Lilies, roses, and other flowers bloomed so abundantly as to make 
 the face of the landscape lovely, and attracted countless swarms of 
 bees to their sweet-laden petals. Under the quickening rays of an 
 almost tropical sun, these living jewels often made the air heavy with 
 fragrance. Their unconscious incense of praise arose with the 
 plaintive notes of myriads of doves that dwelt in the many ravines. 
 " Flowers are not trifles, as one might know if he would only think 
 how much pains God has taken with them everywhere; not one 
 unfinished, not one bearing the marks of brush or pencil. Fringing 
 the eternal borders of many winters ; gracing the pulseless breast of 
 the old grey granite; everywhere, they are harmonizing." 
 
 Big vines ran over the ground, clambering on the sides of rocks, 
 festooning themselves upon trees, rude arbors, and on whatever 
 would be a helping staff. The branches were heavy with delicious 
 fruit, far larger and sweeter flavored than the small grapes of Egypt, 
 and in profuseness beyond measure. The Olive tree, with its wealth 
 of shade, its welcome fruit, full of hidden stores of oil, clustered 
 thickly over Mount Olivet, and in other sunny spots. Wayfarers and 
 
 dwellers in the land had the Fig tree to refresh them with its three 
 successive crops of fruit. In uprightness and stateliness of growth, 
 the honored Palm tree towered above its brethren of the Almond, 
 the Sycamore, the Myrtle, the Oak, the Poplar, the Apple, the Pear, 
 the Quince, the Orange, and other species. And afar off upon the 
 hills of the North country, were to be seen, at all seasons of the 
 year, the noble evergreen Cedars of Lebanon, beneath each of whose 
 broad-spreading canopy of branches a caravan could rest at ease. 
 
 A rare country, indeed, was the land of Canaan in soil and ver- 
 dure. Into this garden of the earth, and in probation as the Chosen 
 People, was to enter a nation of freedmen, brought up from under 
 the whip of the taskmaster by the outstretched hand of the Lord. 
 Wild roots plucked out of the Wilderness to be transplanted into 
 Jehovah's garden that they should bear good fruit, were these people. 
 " My well beloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill : . . . and 
 He looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth 
 wild grapes." Isa. 5 : 1, 2. Iniquitous conduct, idolatrous rites, 
 violated ordinances, rebellious uprisings against a sacred covenant 
 with Jehovah, followed upon each other; till the Jews were disin- 
 herited, and dispersed throughout the world. Corresponding with 
 this direful overthrow, Palestine has now but the shadow of its former 
 beauty and culture. Its proud forests are cut down, except upon the 
 mountains, and along the Mediterranean coast. The steady altera- 
 tions of climate that has resulted, and the want of proper tillage, 
 have sadly changed the soil and the rich harvests of the once Holy 
 Land. "The fruits and plants which are the same in name and kind 
 as those of the times of the Scriptures, are not the same in excel- 
 lence." The glory has departed. Yet, as well as we can, let us 
 consider the beauty of its vegetation, as it was in the past, and see 
 the Scriptural teachings with which every thing was instinct for them, 
 and is yet for us. 
 
 The vegetation of the the temperate and torrid climes intermingled, 
 or rather overlapped, in Palestine. In the north. Galilee had the 
 trees, shrubs, and herbs more common to Asia Minor ami Europe. 
 Tropical plants of Arabia and India grew in the sun-scorched depres-

 sions about the Jordan and the Dead Sea. The desert country on 
 the south had the growths of Egypt and Arabia. On the western 
 slopes, the plains of the Mediterranean were the granaries of grains 
 and fruits. 
 
 The OLIVE tree, whose branch has always been the emblem of 
 peace (Gen. 8: n), by virtue of its usefulness ranked first in the 
 esteem of the Israelites, and is made a frequent type of Scriptural 
 truths. It grows best in sunny spots, and will flourish upon rocky 
 cliffs, bringing "oil out of the flinty rocks." Deut. 32: 13; Job 29: 
 6. Its trunk is knotty, bark smooth and ash-colored, wood solid 
 and yellowish, leaves oblong, of a dark-green above and silver-colored 
 beneath. In June it puts forth white flowers, which grow in bunches, 
 each of one piece, widening towards the top, and dividing into four 
 parts; these fall off with the slightest breeze. Job 15: 33. Then 
 comes the fruit, resembling a plum and enclosing a hard kernel, first 
 green, then pale, and black when quite ripe. Its oil is used in cook- 
 ing, for anointing the body and the head, and as medicine. As 
 an evergreen, it if. emblematic of a righteous man (Psa. 52 : 8) ; and 
 the living branches which spring up from the old root fitly represent 
 his children. Psa. 128: 3. 
 
 Almost of equal rank was the FIG tree, bearing fruit of aromatic 
 fragrance, which also grew in stony, barren places. It seldom rose 
 above twelve feet, and sent off from the bottom many spreading 
 
 branches. The early and 
 most prized fruit ripened in 
 June ; the more abundant 
 summer fig in August ; and 
 the winter fig was sometimes 
 plucked the spring following. 
 Figs grow on short, thick 
 stems before the appearance 
 of leaves, and contain a fra- 
 grant pulp intermixed with 
 many small seeds. Dwelling 
 safely " every man under his 
 vine and under his fig tree," 
 was a Jewish proverb to de- 
 note peace and prosperity. 1 
 Kings 4: 25. The fate of 
 the vain boaster who brings 
 forth no fruit, was fore- 
 shadowed by the curse of the 
 barren fig tree. Matt. 21 : 19. 
 The excellent and beauti- 
 ful PALM trees of Palestine, 
 which once gave Jericho the name of " City of Palm Trees" (Deut. 
 34 : 3), have almost disappeared. In its straight, upright growth of

 a hundred feet, it excels all others, and it is topped with a crown of 
 spiring leaves about four feet long, which is always green. "The 
 righteous shall flourish as the palm tree" (Psa. 92 : 12), was the prom- 
 ise of a long and exalted life. Leaves decaying leave rough knots 
 on the slender trunk, and form footholds by which the climber may

 gather the date fruit clustering near the summit. Palm branches 
 were used as symbols of honor and triumph. John 12: 12, 13; 
 Rev. 7 : 9. The Arabs celebrate three hundred and sixty uses to 
 which may be put the trunk, branches, leave's, fibres, and fruit of 
 the palm. 
 
 In January or February blossomed the ALMOND tree, the harbinger 
 of spring ; and it bore fruit two months later, when other trees were 
 only beginning to bud. Hence 
 probably came its Hebrew name 
 Sliaked, which primarily means 
 " to be wakeful," "to hasten." 
 This explains the obscure refer- 
 ence in Jer. 1: n, 12: "The 
 word of the Lord came unto 
 me, saying, Jeremiah, what seesi 
 thou ? And I said, I see the rod 
 of an almond tree (sAdfced). 
 Then said the Lord unto me, 
 Thou hast well seen, for I will 
 hasten (shoked) my word to per- 
 form it. ' ' It resembles the peach 
 tree in leaves and blossoms. 
 "When in flowering," says Has- 
 selquist, " it is like an old man 
 with his white locks." Eccl.12: 5. 
 
 The glory of Lebanon was its large and noble evergreen CEDAR, 
 which attained to ninety 
 feet in height and forty 
 in girth. It shot out large 
 and almost horizontal 
 branches ten to twelve 
 feet from the ground. Its 
 wood was very solid, 
 brown in color, and in- 
 corruptible if preserved 
 from the wet. The Scrip- 
 tures speak of its exalted 
 growth, its multiplied 
 branches, its shadowing 
 shroud (Eze. 31. 3-7); 
 and the Psalmist tells of 
 its abundance of fruit- 
 cones : 72 : 16. 
 
 Other fruit and timber 
 trees were anciently plen- 
 tiful in Palestine and the 
 adjoining countries. The 
 sacred writings speak of 
 Oaks, Poplars, Pines and 
 Cypresses. 
 
 The SYCAMINE tree of 
 Luke 17: 6 is judged to 
 be the Mulberry, the fruit 
 of which resembles the 
 blackberry. Both the 
 black and white mulberry 
 trees are common to Pal- 
 estine, and the leaves are 
 fed to silkworms. 
 
 The ACACIA tree, 
 found on the peninsula of 
 Sinai, furnished the pre- 
 cious, hard-grained shit- 
 tim wood out of which 
 were made the tables, 
 altars, and planks of the 
 tabernacle. 
 
 The ALMUG, or AL- 
 GUM tree, brought from 
 Ophir (1 Kings 10: n), 
 was very choice and dura- 
 ble. Pillars were made 
 from its wood for the 
 Temple.

 of a beech, bears its fruit in curious clusters on little sprigs. It is 
 always green, and gives a refreshing shade; but its figs are disgustful 
 in sweetness. Amos 7 : 14. 
 
 The WEEPING WIL- 
 LOWS of Judea were as 
 graceful as those by the 
 waters of Babylon, upon 
 whose branches the cap- 
 tive Israelites hung their 
 harps as they mourned 
 their exile from the far-off 
 homes. 
 
 Of the MYRTLE tree it 
 has been said, "With its 
 pure starry blossoms shin- 
 ing through its dark foli- 
 age, with its leaves so de- 
 lightfully scented, and with 
 flexible sprays which so 
 readily twist into garlands, 
 there is no wonder that 
 every nation familiar with 
 it has loved this exquisite 
 evergreeen." At the Feast 
 of the Tabernacle, the 
 booths and sheds erected 
 were adorned with myrtle 
 branches. Neh. 8: 15. 
 
 The VINES of the Holy 
 Land are unexcelled else- 
 where in luxuriance of 
 growth, and in richness of 
 grapes. Some clusters of 
 the fruit weigh over ten 
 
 pounds, and the berries are as large as plums. A traveller tells of one 
 vine he saw, thirty feet high, with a stem eighteen inches in diameter, 
 forming by its branches a hut upward of thirty feet broad and long. 
 Formerly the culture of the vine extended over the whole country. 
 The finest grapes were dried into raisins. The others were trodden under 
 foot in presses, and the juice was boiled down to a honey syrup, which 
 formed a pleasanter relish with food than molasses. Messiah's great 
 work and power were shown by his treading alone the figurative wine- 
 press. Isa. 63: 1-3; Rev. 19: 15. Jews drank wine but seldom except 
 on festive occasions, and this appears to have been the unfermented 
 juice. From the earliest times the vine has been cultivated. Gen. 
 
 FIG MULBERRY. 
 
 THE VINE. 
 
 9 : 20 ; Job 1:18; Deut. 8 : 8. Ripe grapes could be gathered in 
 Syria for four or five months in the year (Lev. 26 : 5) ; and the glean- 
 ings of the vineyards were always to be left for the poor. Lev. 19 : 
 10, 23. From the vineyards of Judea were drawn many forcible 
 parables. Judg. 9: 12; Matt. 20 :' 1 ; 21: 28. It was a beautiful 
 emblem of domestic love, peace, and plenty. Psa. 128: 3 ; Mic. 4: 
 4- 'The vineyard of the Lord of Hosts is the house of Israel" 
 (Isa. 5: 1-7; Psa. 80: 8-16); and the rebellious Jews were com- 
 pared to "wild grapes" (Isa. 5: 2-4)3 "an empty vine" (Hos. 10: 
 0; "the degenerate plant of a strange vine." Jer. 2: 21. The 
 
 TAMARISK OR MANNA PLANT. 
 
 vine illustrated the spiritual union with Christ, into whom believers 
 must be engrafted in order to bear good fruit. John 15 : 1-8. 
 Mournfully and literally is now fulfilled the prophecy of Jeremiah: 
 " The spoiler is fallen upon thy summer fruits andupon thy vintage. 
 And joy and gladness is taken 
 from the plentiful field, and 
 from the land of Moab ; and I 
 have caused wine to fail from 
 the wine-presses; none shall 
 tread with shouting." Jer. 48 : 
 32,33. Wine was not only used 
 in their sacrifices, but the psalm 
 of thanksgiving was not begun 
 till the drink-offering was 
 poured out. Hence the pecu- 
 liar propriety of the praise, 
 "Wine which cheereth God 
 and man." Judg. 9: 13. 
 
 From the TAMARISK shrub 
 of the Arabian desert is now 
 collected a substance called 
 Manna. Burckhardt states that 
 it drops from the thorns on the 
 sticks and leaves with which 
 the ground is covered, and 
 must be gathered early in the 
 day, or it will be melted by 
 the sun. The Arabs, having 
 cleansed, boiled, and strained 
 it, can preserve it in leathern 
 bottles for several years. They 
 use it like honey or butter with 
 their unleavened bread, but 
 never make it into cakes, or 
 eat it by itself. The many 
 points which distinguish the 
 Scriptural manna from this veg- 
 etable product, are thus concisely stated by the learned Abarbinet •. 
 "The natural manna was never found in the desert where this fell ; 
 where the common manna does fall, it is only in the spring time, in 
 March and April, whereas this fell throughout all the months in the 
 year ; the ordinary manna does not putrefy and breed worms, as this 
 did, when kept till the morning ; it cannot be ground or beaten in a 
 mortar, so as to make cakes, as this was; the common manna is medi- 
 cinal and purgative, and can- 
 not be used for food and nutri- 
 ment as this was ; this fell in a 
 double proportion on the sixth 
 day, and not on the Sabbath, 
 as it certainly would have done 
 had it fallen naturally ; it fol- 
 lowed them in all their journ- 
 eys, wherever they pitched their 
 tents ; and it ceased at the very 
 time of the year when the other 
 falls, namely, in March, when 
 the Israelites were come to 
 Gilgal." 
 
 About fifty other Plants have 
 been mentioned in the Bible, 
 because of their fruits or flow- 
 ers. Some of these were native 
 to Palestine, while others were 
 acclimated in the times of Sol- 
 omon, as recorded in Eccl. 2 : 
 5 : "I made me gardens and 
 orchards, and I planted trees 
 in them of all kinds of fruits." 
 
 SPICES were much used by the Israelites in their religious services, 
 and in personal adornment. The gum which naturally flowed from 
 the trunk and branches of the Astralagus Tragacanth, was the 
 "spicery" of Gen. 37 : 25. 
 
 The beautiful LIGN ALOE furnished one of the choicest gums; its 
 perfume was ranked with myrrh, cassia, and cinnamon. Psa. 45 : 8 ; 
 Prov. 7: 17. Its trunk is rugged, and its whole height only five 
 feet. The teeth -edged leaves have several shades of green. Three 
 bands of bright colors, rose, orange, and yellow, with outer edges

 of green, embellish the bell-shaped flowers. Balaam happily compared 
 the goodly tents and tabernacles of Israel, interspersed with colored 
 
 banners, to trees of 
 lign aloes. Num. 
 24: 5, 6. 
 
 Sweet CALA- 
 MUS, or SWEET 
 CANE, was proba- 
 bly one of the rare 
 aromatic plants of 
 Arabia which the 
 Queen of Sheba

 "Thou hast bought

 CORIANDER, a 
 plant which the Is- 
 raelites had known 
 in Egypt, and which 
 is chewed by most 
 Orientals for the

 The GOURD of Jonah, or Castor plant, which wilts on a slight 
 injury, furnishes a fine oil for burning. It was quite distinct from 
 the poisonous wild gourd of 2 Kings 4 : 39. 
 
 and it was also sprinkled upon each of the cakes of shew-bread. 
 
 "Gold, and frankincense, and myrrh," were given by the Wise Men 
 
 as royal gifts to the infant 
 Saviour. Matt. 2: 11. The 
 purest and whitest was that 
 obtained by the first incision 
 into the trunk, while the later 
 flowing gums were streaked 
 with yellow. 
 
 BALSAM was obtained 
 from the BALM of GILEAD 
 tree, which grew to a height 
 of fifteen feet in Arabia. It 
 had straggling branches and 
 scanty foliage. This gum was 
 sent by Jacob as a present to 
 Joseph. Gen. 43 : 11. It ap- 
 pears to have had healing 
 virtues. Jer. 46: 11; 51: 8.

 FRANKINCENSE. 
 
 Pure FRANKINCENSE brought from Arabia (Isa. 60 : 6), was

 BALSAM OF GILEAD. 
 
 GALBANUM was a resinous gum 
 of India, of a pungent, disagreeable 
 odor. Its mixture into the sacred 
 perfume was probably to check the 
 odors arising from animal sacrifices. 
 Exod. 30 : 34. 
 
 MYRRH was used in the " oil of 
 holy ointment" (Exod. 30: 23), in 
 perfuming the body (Est. 2 : 12), and 
 in embalming. John 19: 39. It was 
 probably a white gum obtained from 
 a low, thorny tree of Arabia like 
 the Acacia. 
 
 CINNAMON is the spicy bark of a tree the size of a willow, which 
 grows in the island of Ceylon. The blossoms are white, and brighten 
 the landscape for 
 miles around. Its 
 oil burns with a de- 
 lightful fragrance. 
 CASSIA bark has 
 the same general 
 appearance, smell, 
 and taste ; but its 
 flavor is coarser, 
 more pungent, and 
 leaves a bitter 
 taste. 
 
 SAFFRON is 
 classed with Spike- 
 nard in Song 4: 
 14. The cultivated 
 plant is delicately 
 fragrant, and some 
 of its orange-yel- 
 low flowers were 
 plucked on Mount 
 Tabor by Rev. H. 
 S. Osborn. 
 
 Under the three

 eral term of CORN. Bread for the poorer people was made out of 
 barley: the multiplication of these coarse loaves showed the hu- 
 mility of the Saviour, and 
 the poverty of his hearers. 
 BEANS or pulse, LEN- 
 TILS, MALLOWS, a pot 
 herb, and FITCHES— a 
 coarse but nutritious pea, 
 the ordinary sustenance of 
 doves — were the food of 
 the humbler Jews ; and 
 David ate of such lowly 
 fare when fleeing from 
 Absalom. 2 Sam. 1 7 : 
 28. 
 
 SPIKENARD was acostly 
 aromatic ointment ob- 
 tained from a rare, grass- 
 like plant of India, which 
 had a small root attached to 
 a tuft of light-brown, hair- 
 like fibres. Song 1: 12. 
 The cost of the spikenard 
 with which the grateful 
 Mary anointed the feet of Jesus, was probably fifty dollars. 
 
 The MUSTARD tree of Scripture, noted for its very small, pun- 
 gent seed, is thought to be the species here illustrated which is found 
 along the Jordan and by the Sea of 
 Tiberias. 
 
 SPIKENARD. 
 
 ancients are said to have had painted garments beautifully adorned 
 with figures of creatures, flowers, and trees; their colors were per- 
 manent, and came from the sap of certain vegetables. Babylon 
 was famous for making such "goodly Babylonish garments" (Josh. 
 7 : 21) ; and the mother of Sisera assigned to him as spoils from the 
 Israelites, "a prey of divers colors of needle-work, of divers colors of 
 needle-work on both sides." Judg. 5 : 30. The fine linen condemned 
 by Isaiah (3 : 23), was probably a kind of very thin silk or gauze which, 
 in garments, was almost transparent, and was worn in shamelessness. 
 HAZEL rods are mentioned in Gen. 30: 37; but it is doubtful 
 whether the Almond tree is not intended, as the Hebrew term (\uz) 
 
 MUSTARD TREE. 
 
 ANISE. 
 
 MINT, ANISE (Anethumj, and CUMMIN were three aromatic 
 but unimportant herbs very common in 
 Palestine. Mint was used in flavoring 
 food, Anise occasionally in embalming 
 the poorer classes, while Cummin was 
 bound upon sores and wounds. These 
 were the meanest and cheapest herbs ; 
 yet the Jews osteutatiously paid tithes 
 of them, but "omitted the weightier 
 matters of the law, namely, judgment, 
 mercy, and faith." Matt. 23: 23. 
 RUE — a little, common plant which 
 is used as a stimulant, having a disa- 
 greeable odor, and an acrid, bitter 
 taste — is included in Luke 11 : 42 with 
 mint. 
 
 FLAX was an important plant in Pal- 
 estine. The good wife " seeketh wool, 
 and flax, and worketh willingly with her 
 hands. She layeth her hands to the spin- mint. 
 
 die, and her hands hold the distaff." 
 
 Prov. 31 : 13, 19. Linen was always worn by the priests, in prefer- 
 ence to wool, as it harbored no vermin to pollute them. The

 means either. Hazel wood is very tough and flexible. The 
 rods are much used in coopering, while the nuts furnish a 
 fragrant oil. 
 
 The savory GARLIC, LEEKS, and ONIONS, MELONS 
 and CUCUMBERS of Egypt were eaten by the Israelites in 
 the bondage, and longed for while they sojourned in the 
 wilderness, as they wept and said: "But now our soul is 
 dried away; there is nothing at all, besides this manna, be- 
 fore our eyes." Num. n : 4-6. Of several of these relishes 
 travellers speak in flattering terms: "Whoever has tasted 
 onions in Egypt must allow that none can be had better in 
 any part of the universe. Here they are sweet, in other 
 countries they are nauseous and strong ; here they are soft, 
 whereas in the north and other parts, they are hard of di- 
 gestion Melons serve the Egyptians for meat, drink, and 
 
 physic. They are eaten in abundance during the season, even by the 
 richer sort of people; but the common people, on whom Providence 
 has bestowed nothing but poverty and patience, scarcely eat any 
 thing but these, and account this the best time of the year, as they 
 are obliged to put up with worse fare at other seasons. They afford 
 a cool, refreshing juice, assuage thirst, mitigate feverish disorders, 
 and compensate thereby, in no small degree, for the excessive 
 heats." 
 
 In Palestine, CUCUMBERS were plentifully grown ; and in such 
 fields a lonely watchman, sheltered from the burning sun by a solitary 
 little hut, kept off cattle and thieves. To such a cheerless, desolate 
 lodge, Zion is compared by the prophet: "And the daughter of Zion 
 is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, 
 as a besieged city." Isa. 1 : 8. 
 
 " DOVE'S DUNG," a pint of which in the famine at Samaria 
 sold for five pieces of silver (2 Kings 6: 25^, was thought by Lin- 
 naeus to have been the rough-coated, bulbous root of the plant calkd 
 Star of Bethlehem. 
 
 The HUSKS that the Prodigal Son ate in common with the swine 
 (Luke 15: 16), were doubtless the pods of the Carob tree, which 
 contain a gelatinous substance very sweet to the taste. Cattle, swine, 
 and the poorer population eat them. " The pods arc rather longer 
 than a finger, an inch in breadth, and as crooked as a sickle , liiey 
 
tf

 have a very sweet and pleasant taste, are not unlike our beans, but 
 
 with a darker and harder 
 shell, which contains bitter 
 and very hard kernels. This 
 seed is thrown away, but the 
 pod is eaten ; an extremely 
 sweet juice is pressed out of 
 it, which is excellent for pre- 
 serving fruit. In Cyprus, I 
 saw on the strand large quan- 
 tities of such pods piled up 
 like hills, with which fre- 
 quently many vessels are 
 laden. As this fruit is ex- 
 tremely abundant, the price 
 is very low, and they are 
 used as food for the 
 . cattle." 
 
 The MANDRAKE has a 
 root like the parsnip. It 
 bears a purple flower, also a 
 small, fragrant, and ruddy 
 apple. Mandrake has long 
 been noted for its soothing properties. Of it Solomon's Bride 
 speaks : " The mandrakes give a smell, and at our gates are all man-

 ner of pleasant fruits, new and old, which I have laid up for thee, 
 
 O my beloved." Song 7 : 13. 
 
 Of the Orchard fruits, the Olive, Fig, Date, Mulberry, Fig- 
 Mulberry, Apple, Pear, 
 Quince, Citron, Orange, Carob, 
 and Walnut, need no further 
 mention. In the choiceness of 
 its fruit, and the beauty of its 
 tulip-shaped, rosy flowers, the 
 POMEGRANATE is equal to 
 any. Its apple is the size of an 
 orange, and contains a cool, re- 
 freshing liquid. Carved pome- 
 granates decorated the capitals 
 of the temple ; the skirt of the 
 High Priest's robe was adorned 
 with pomegranates (in blue, pur- 
 ple and scarlet) hung between 
 golden bells. 
 
 The LILY of the Scriptures 
 
 flourished in the valleys of the 
 
 Holy Land, also among the 
 
 thorny shrubs and pastures of 
 
 pomegranate. the desert. Solomon in his 
 
 Song (2: 1, 2) speaks of its luxuriant growth; and it is a figure 
 of God's bountifulness to Israel, if she will repent : " I will be as 
 the dew unto Israel : he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his 
 roots as Lebanon." Hos. 14: 5. This appears to have been the 
 
 LILY OF SYRIA. 
 
 brilliant crimson Lily of Chalcedon, pointing to which Jesus of 
 Nazareth so beautifully illustrated the loving providence of our 
 Father in heaven: "Consider the lilies of the field, how they 
 grow ; they toil not, neither do they spin : and yet I say unto 
 you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one 
 of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which 
 to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much 
 more clothe you, O ye of little faith ? Therefore take no thought, 
 saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal 
 shall we be clothed?" Matt. 6 : 28-31. In its profusion of growth, 
 beauty, and fragrance, it is a queenly flower, and it was introduced 
 into the ornaments of the Temple. 2 Chron. 4:5. The oft-quoted 
 text, "Cast thy bread upon the waters, for thou shalt find it after

 many days" (Eccl. n : 1), is rupposcd to refer to the seed of the 
 Lotus-Lily (perhaps the Lily of Solomon's Song), which was made 
 into bread. These seeds were sown by enveloping in clay and 
 casting into the river. Sinking down in the mud, they germinated. 
 After many days the plants appeared above the water, bearing 
 flowers and fruit containing many fold the amount of bread -seed 
 sown. A more fitting emblem of charity could scarce be 
 chosen.

 ROSE OF SHARON. 
 
 In its peculiar beauty and the delicacy of its perfume, the culti- 
 vated Rose of Pal- 
 estine excels all 
 others. The modi- 
 fications of its spe- 
 cies are beyond 
 number. The ROSE 
 OF SHARON bud- 
 ded annually, and 
 bore a small, white 
 flower. 
 
 HYSSOP was the 
 solemn plant of pu- 
 rification, and with 
 it was sprinkled 
 every thing to be 
 cleansed. It was 
 some low shrub 
 which contrasted 
 with the stately 
 cedar (i Kings 4: 
 33) ; but its exact 
 identification is 
 doubtful. Rev. J. 
 L. Porter judges it 
 to be the Caper 
 plant, and says of 
 the ruin of Petra: 
 "The products of 
 nature alone are 
 perennial; for while 
 the monuments of 
 man are all spoiled, the delicate branches of the Caper plant hang 
 down as fresh and beautiful from the chinks in the rocks as they did 
 
 two thousand years 
 ago, and the foliage 
 of the wild fig and 
 tamarisk are as rich, 
 and the flower of the 
 Oleander tree as 
 gaudy, as they were 
 when the princes of 
 Edom dwelt in the 
 clefts of the rock 
 and held in pride 
 the heights of the 
 hills. ' ' The Saviour 
 refused to drink the 
 stupefying draught 
 of wine mingled 
 with myrrh and gall 
 — the bitter juice of 
 the Hemlock — but it 
 was legally necessary 
 that the purifying 
 hyssop should touch 
 His lips as He hung 
 on the cross, that He 
 might fulfil the right- 
 eousness of the Law 
 before He gave up 
 the ghost. John 19 : 
 28-30. "Hence- 
 forth Jesus and his 
 blood should be the 
 the use of the hyssop and the bloody 
 Him, and in the power of the cross to 
 cleanse and to atone for ever." — Rev. H. S. Osborn. 
 
 The REEDS of Scripture include a variety of aquatic plants or 
 rushes. Pens for writing were formed of split reeds, and paper was 
 also made of the celebrated Egyptian papyrus. These paper-reeds 
 of the ancients were the bulrushes of the ark which floated the infant 
 Moses to the feet of Pharaoh's daughter. So even unto this present 
 generation have floated down on the waves of time, unhurt, the books 
 of Holy Scripture, the first of whose inspired pages were written by 
 this earliest and greatest of the Lord's prophets. And as the reed 
 lifted the hyssop to the lips of the Lord just before He spake the dying

 all-atoning sacrifice for sin 
 sprinkling should terminate in 
 
 words, "It is finished!" so will the pen (aided by the myriad-fin-

 gered press) multiply into every tongue of the earth the glad tidings 
 of Gospel salvation, till Immanuel shall come clothed in glory, 
 and the earth and heavens shall pass away, and time shall be no 
 more. 
 
 GRASS in the Scripture generally denotes all the verdure of the 
 earth (Matt. 6: 30; Psa. 147: 8); and tender, delicate growth that 
 withers speedily. Isa. 40: 6. That whose seed found a lodgment 
 in the little soil on the flat house-tops, was especially fragile. Psa. 
 129: 6,7. FLAGS were water-plants, or sea-weeds. Their abund- 
 ance in the Red Sea 
 gave it the name of 
 Sea of Weeds ; and 
 the reddish color of 
 their leaves and 
 stems fastened upon 
 itthetitle of Red Sea. 
 
 The lack of cul- 
 ture and the aspect 
 of barren desolation 
 which the larger part 
 of the once fertile 
 land of Palestine 
 now exhibits, are 
 shown in the state- 
 ment of a recent 
 traveller: "The 
 plain near Tiberias 
 is in many places a 
 complete wilderness 
 of THORNS and 
 THISTLES. They 
 render some of the 
 hills impassable, and 
 entangle the foot of 
 the traveller." 
 Everymodern explo- 
 rer thus testifies to 
 the fulfilment of the 
 
 prophecy : " Thorns shall come up in her palaces, nettles and bram- 
 bles in the fortresses thereof." The Holy Land, of all others, most 
 fulfils the primal curse: "Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth 
 to thee." Gen. 3: 18. The Rabbins state there are twenty-two 
 words in the Hebrew Scriptures signifying thorns or prickles. " May 
 we not see in the production of injurious thorns an arrestment by 
 the fiat of the Almighty in the formation of branches, and thus a 
 blight passed upon this part of creation, a standing memorial of the 
 effects of sin, which would at once declare itself to be from God ?" 
 Yet, as if to scoff at and utterly reject every warning of mercy, the

 Desertion, desolation and ruin are signified by the growing of 
 BRAMBLES, BRIARS, and NETTLES. The clustering seed-fruit 
 of the worthless bramble is contrasted by the Saviour with thickly- 
 hanging grapes, which it somewhat resembles at a distance. Luke 
 6 : 43, 44. With these may be classed the weeds which spring up 
 in fields imperfectly cultivated. The bright-flowered, but luxuriant 
 and troublesome COCKLE crowds out the growth of useful barley, or 
 delicious grapes (Job 31 : 40) ; an example to show the need of good 
 works in good season. "The HEATH in the desert" (Jer. 17 : 6), 
 grows near the wilderness of the Dead Sea; "and the man that de- 
 
 parteth from the Lord" abides in the same desolation. Noxious 
 TARES spring up among the wheat, which they closely resemble,

THE WANDERINGS OF THE ISRAELITES; 
 
 IN WHICH ARE NARRATED THE SCENES AND OCCURRENCES THAT GO TO MAKE UP A LIBERAL SHARE OF THE MOST THRILLING 
 
 AND INSTRUCTIVE PORTION OP THE OLD TESTAMENT HISTORY, 
 
 The Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt is one of the most mar- 
 vellous events in history. In one night three million slaves were made 
 free by the mighty hand and outstretched arm of the Lord. They 
 were fed upon the Paschal Lamb slain to release them from spiritual 
 
 BANKS OF THE NILE. 
 
 bondage, and were led out from beside the banks of the fertile Nile, 
 to possess the rich land of Canaan promised to their father Abraham. 
 These rude, vicious slaves, crushed in spirit and hardened in iniqui- 
 ties by unjust taskmasters, were 
 to be transformed into upright 
 freemen. All their scattered 
 families were to be moulded 
 into one nation, having inter- 
 ests, laws, and worship in com- 
 mon, but wholly separate from 
 other nations debased in idol- 
 atry. At an end was the patri- 
 archal dispensation, and the 
 beginning of the Mosaic was 
 at hand. This was ever thought 
 to be the chief fact in Jewish 
 history. A nation enslaved 
 was redeemed, and set apart 
 to the service of God — "a 
 kingdom of priests, and a holy 
 nation." Ex. 19: 6. The 
 Wanderings in the Wilderness, 
 prolonged to forty years by 
 the transgressions and hard- 
 heartedness of that perverse 
 generation, was a needed dis- 
 cipline. Throughout this 
 time these unwarlike people 
 were protected from attacks 
 of predatory tribes by sojourn- 
 ing in a barren and desolate 
 country, shut in by high ranges 
 of mountains, through whose 
 defiles they journeyed. They 
 could gather for food neither 
 bread, nor meat, nor strong 
 drink. Jehovah, who led 
 8 
 
 them by a pillar of cloud, fed them with manna from heaven, with 
 water from the smitten rock; and during all these years, neither 
 their clothes nor their shoes were waxen old upon them. This 
 journey might have been performed in a few months by passing 
 through the land of the Philistines; but it was 
 necessary that the Israelites should be taken into 
 the wilderness to meet and make a covenant with 
 God. The road was a difficult one, and was beset 
 with many privations which they would not en- 
 dure with patience. 
 
 On the night of the self-same day that termi- 
 nated the period of four hundred and thirty years 
 sojourning as aliens in a strange land — which lot 
 had befallen Abraham and the children of Israel — 
 the hosts of the Lord went out from the land of 
 Egypt with great substance. About six hundred 
 thousand on foot that were men, besides children, 
 with a mixed multitude of Egyptian refugees, 
 travelled from Rameses to Succoth, carrying with 
 them flocks, herds, and much cattle. Ex. 12: 37- 
 42. Their journeyings, as far as they can be cor- 
 roborated, are shown on the accompanying ma]), 
 and seem to group into three stages : the first 
 ended at Sinai, where the Law was given ; the 
 second at Kadesh-Barnea, from which spies were 
 sent out to view the bordering Promised Land ; 
 and the third included the unrecorded wanderings 
 of thirty-eight years, which terminated with the 
 passage of the new generation over the Jordan. 
 At Pihahiroth, the plain of Chiroth, the Isra- 
 elites were enclosed between the Red Sea on the east (here twelve 
 miles wide), the lofty mount Atakah (Migdol) on the north and 
 west, and the Egyptian hosts behind them. The terror-stricken

 ISRAELITES CROSSING THE RED SEA 
 
 fugitives saw no way of escape from destruction ; but the waters 
 were miraculously divided by an east wind, and the passage of the 
 Red Sea was the crisis of the Exodus. Thus this chosen people were 
 baptized unto the Lord in the water, while Pharaoh and his proud 
 
 hosts sank into the 
 bottom as a stone, 
 amid a tempest of 
 rain, thunder, and 
 lightning. Psa. 77: 
 15-20. "Thou hast 
 with thine arm re- 
 deemed thy people, 
 the sons of Jacob 
 and Joseph. Selah. 
 The waters saw 
 thee, O God, the 
 waters saw thee ; 
 they were afraid : 
 the depths also were 
 troubled. The 
 clouds poured out 
 water: the skies sent out a sound : thine arrows also went abroad. Th» 
 voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the 
 world: the earth trembled and shook." Dr. E. D. Clarke records 
 a remarkable and somewhat similar phenomenon as occurring "in 
 the Sea of Azof during violent east winds : the sea retires in so sin- 
 gular a manner that the people of Tanganrog are able to cross upon 
 dry land to the opposite coast, a distance of twenty verts, equal to 
 fourteen miles. But when the wind changes, and this it sometimes 
 does very suddenly, the waters return with such rapidity that many 
 lives are lost. The depth here is five fathoms." 
 
 Diodorus Siculus relates that the Ichthyophagi, who lived near the 
 Red Sea, had a tradition handed down to them through a long line 
 of ancestors, that the whole bay was once laid bare to the very bot- 
 tom, the waters retiring to the opposite shore, and that they after- 
 wards returned to their accustomed channel with a tremendous 
 revulsion. Even to this day the inhabitants of the neighborhood 
 of Corondel preserve the remembrance of a mighty army having 
 been once drowned in the bay. 
 
 Having sang the triumphal Song of Moses (Ex. 15 : 1-2 1), the 
 Israelites travelled towards Mount Sinai by way of Marah, Elim, and 
 the wilderness of Sin. Ex. 15.. 16. The country was hilly and 
 sandy, having a few dry water-courses. Marah and its bitter waters 
 have been identified by travellers. The basin is nearly eight feet in 
 diameter, and has-two feet depth of water. Its taste is unpleasant 
 
 wilderness of Sin, "a frightful desert, almost wholly without vege- 
 tation." Dr. Shaw traversed it in nine hours, being diverted all the 
 day by varieties of lizards and vipers which abound there. Their 
 scanty supplies being spent, the murmuring Israelites here began to 
 be fed with manna from heaven. Its stated appearance, morning 
 after morning, excepting the Sabbath, for nearly forty years, was 
 unquestionably miraculous. What manna was, is utterly unknown ; 
 but it does not appear to have been common to the wilderness. 
 None of the Israelites ever saw it before (Deut. 8 : 3, 16) ; and from 
 a pot of it being preserved in the Ark as a remembrance of God's 
 mercy, it is probable that nothing of the kind ever appeared again. 
 At Rephidim or Meribah, where was a parched plain with barren 
 rocks on either side, the needed water gushed out of the smitten 
 " rock in Horeb," at the foot of the mountains. This rock, which 
 is a vast block of red granite, fifteen feet long, ten broad, and 
 twelve high, presents to this day evidences of this great miracle. 
 "Holes and channels appear in the stone which could only have 
 been formed by the bursting out and running of water. No art of 
 man could have done it, if any motive could be supposed for the 
 undertaking in such a place as this."

 TOR, NEAR ELIM. 
 
 And saltish ; the Arabs pronounce it the worst of the district. Elim 
 lies two leagues from Tor. Here Dr. Shaw found nine of the wells 
 yet open, the other three having been filled up with sand ; but the 
 seventy palm trees had increased to more than three thousand. The 
 Arabs of Tor hold these in great reverence, as they say the house- 
 hold of Moses encamped here. Between Elim and Sinai lies the 
 
 MOUNT SINAI. 
 
 The Israelites arrived at Mount Sinai probably about 
 the middle of June, having been two months on their 
 journey. This range of mountains consists of several 
 peaks, the principal of which are Horeb and Sinai. The 
 sacred summit where Moses received the Commmand- 
 ments, laws, and ordinances for the Israelites, towers 
 ||\^ seven thousand feet above the level of the sea. The 
 ffljL approach is by a deep and narrow pass, between black- 
 ened, shattered cliffs of granite rising to a great height, 
 and threatening every moment to crush travellers beneath 
 overtoppling rocks. After describing a toiling ascent of 
 two hours up this awful mount, Dr. Robinson says: 
 " Here the interior and lofty peaks of the great circle of 
 Sinai began to open upon us — black, rugged, desolate 
 summits; -and, as we advanced, the dark and frowning 
 front of Sinai itself began to appear. We were grad- 
 ually ascending, and the valley gradually opening ; but 
 as yet all was a naked desert. I had never seen a spot 
 more wild and desolate. As we advanced, the valley still 
 opened wider and wider with a gentle ascent, and became 
 full of shrubs and tufts of herbs, shut in on each side by 
 lofty, granite ridges, and rugged, shattered peaks, a 
 thousand feet high, while the face of Horeb rose directly before us. 
 Both my companion and myself involuntarily exclaimed, ' Here is 
 room enough for a large encampment !' Reaching the top of the 
 ascent or water-shed, a fine, broad plain lay before us, sloping down 
 gently towards the south-southeast, enclosed by rugged and venerable 
 mountains of dark granite, stern, naked, splintered peaks, and ridges 
 of indescribable grandeur ; and terminated, at a distance of more 
 than a mile, by the bold and awful front of Horeb, rising perpen-

 dicularly in frowning majesty, from twelve to fifteen hundred feet in 
 height. It was a scene of solemn grandeur, wholly unexpected, and 
 such as we had never seen ; and the associations which at the mo- 
 ment rushed upon our minds were almost overwhelming. . . . Our 
 conviction was strengthened that here, or on some of the adjacent 
 cliffs, was the spot where the Lord ' descended in fire' and pro- 
 claimed the Law. Here lay the plain where the whole congregation 
 might be assembled ; here was the mount that could be approached, 
 if not forbidden ; and here the mountain brow, where alone the 
 lightning and the thick cloud would be visible, and the thunders and 
 the voice of the trump be heard, when the Lord ' came down in the 
 sight of all the people upon Mount Sinai.' We gave ourselves up to 
 the impressions of the awful scene ; and read, with a feeling that 
 will never be forgotton, the sublime account of the transactions, and 
 the commandments there promulgated, in the original words as 
 recorded by the great Hebrew legislator." 
 
 The Israelites encamped in the plain at the foot of Mount Sinai 
 eleven months. Here, while that terrible mountain " burned with 
 fire unto the midst of heaven, with darkness, clouds, and thick dark- 
 ness," they received the Ten Commandments or "Words" of the 
 Lord, engraven on tablets of stone ; here were made the Tabernacle 
 and its furniture, after the heavenly patterns Moses saw in the 
 Mount ; here Israel entered into personal covenant with Jehovah to 
 become a holy people, perpetually observing Sacrifices, Offerings, 
 and the Sacred Seasons dedicated to special worship. (See article on 
 Jewish Worship). The camping-ground of this host probably 
 covered an area of twelve miles, in the centre of which was placed 
 the Tabernacle, with the tents of the Priests and Levites completely 
 encircling it. "It was the pilgrim rest of the Wilderness, at rest, 
 and yet ready to move when the cloud moved. God dwelt in the 
 midst of the camp, to keep them from evil. The blood of the 
 atoning Lamb ever spoke peace on the Mercy-seat ; there was ever 
 light, and fragrance, and food in the Holy Place. The pure water 
 to cleanse was always in the Laver, and the sweet savor of the 
 Burnt Offering was ever before the Lord ; and without the Camp 
 was the ashes of the red heifer ready to purify from the touch of 
 death ; it was the Lord's family at peace with Him in the blood of 
 the everlasting Covenant." The illustration shows the locations 
 and the fighting populations of the respective tribes ; for Israel was 
 numbered at Sinai. 
 
 The glory of the Camp of Israel, as it afterwards lay in the plains 
 of Moab, filled Balaam with enthusiasm, and he exclaimed : " How 
 goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, and thy tabernacles, O Israel ! As 
 
 the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river side, a? the 
 trees of lign aloes which the Lord hath planted, and as cedar trees 
 beside the waters." Num. 24: 5, 6. Such was its appearance at 
 Sinai, also. The ancient Rabbins believed that the standard of 
 
 THE EMBLEMS ON THE STANDARDS OF THE TRIBES. 
 
 each tribe was similar in color to its precious stone in the breast- 
 plate of the high priest ; and that the chief standard of each of the 
 four camps combined the three colors of the tribes. Much uncer- 
 tainty exists as to some of the respective emblems. To Judah has 
 been assigned the lion; to Simeon, the sword ; to Dan, the adder; 
 to Naphtali, the hind; to Issachar, the couching ass; to Benjamin, 
 the wolf; to Zebulon, a ship; to Reuben, bursting water; to Gad, a

 standard ; to Asher, the olive ; to Ephraim, a fruitful bough ; to 
 Manasseh, a palm tree. 
 
 The second stage of Israel's journeyings was northeasterly from 
 Sinai to Kadesh Barnea, which lay close to the southern borders of 
 Canaan. A march of three days in early May brought them into 
 the wilderness of Paran, which seems to designate the whole desert 
 region south of Palestine. At Taberah ("burning' ' ) fire from the Lord 
 punished the murmuring Israelites (perhaps the deadly wind from 
 the south which at times decimates caravans) ; and at Kibroth-Hat- 
 taavah ("the graves of lust") many died from the surfeit of a month's 
 feeding on quails. Their long enslavement had debased the minds 
 of these people, and rendered them incapable of manly thoughts 
 and generous acts. At Hazeroth, leprosy smote Miriam for having 
 leagued with Aaron against Moses. From thence they traversed a 
 frightful desert — "that great and terrible wilderness" (Deut. i: 
 19) — passing through narrow valleys enclosed between precipitous 
 cliffs of granite, and camped at Kadesh in July, " the time of the 
 first ripe grapes." The Rev. Geo. Williams thus describes this 
 southern border of Palestine, looking southward : " Having ascended 
 a ridge, a scene of awful grandeur burst suddenly upon us with such 
 startling effect as to strike us dumb for some moments. We found 
 ourselves standing on a gigantic natural rampart of lofty mountains, 
 which we could trace distinctly for many miles east and west of the 
 spot on which we stood, whose precipitous promontories of naked 
 rock, forming as it were bastions of cyclopean architecture, jutted 
 forth in irregular masses from the mountain barrier into a frightfully 
 terrific wilderness stretched far before us towards the south, whose 
 horrors language must fail to describe. It was a confused chaos of 
 chalk, and had the appearance of an immense furnace glowing with 
 white heat, illuminated as it now was by the fierce rays of the sun. 
 There did not appear to be the least particle of vegetation in all the 
 dreary waste ; all was drought, and barrenness, and desolation. We 
 felt no doubt that we were standing upon the mountain barrier of 
 
 THE WILDERNESS OF PARAN. 
 
 the Promised Land ; and this impression was confirmed by our sheik 
 pointing out, some hours to the west in a valley, the site of Kaddese, 
 the Kadesh of Scripture mentioned in the border." From this 
 point the twelve spies entered Canaan, and thence they returned 
 after forty days with reports of the prowess of the inhabitants that 
 alarmed the Israelites. Jehovah thereupon sentenced all the people 
 
 but Caleb and Joshua to die in the wilderness, and transferred theif 
 inheritance in the Promised Land to their children. 
 
 For eight-and-thirty years the Hebrews wandered in the deserts 
 of Arabia, and the Scriptures pass over these hopeless years in silence. 
 The wilderness of Zin, or Arabah, is a continuation of the valley 
 of the Jordan, extending from the Dead Sea to the eastern gulf of 
 the Red Sea. Its surface is of shifting sands, broken by innumer- 
 able undulations and low hills. A few trees grow, but the depth of 
 sand forbids any herbage. Its western boundary is a lofty line of 
 cliffs nearly fifteen hundred feet high, and on the east the mountains 
 of Edom tower above these cliffs a thousand feet. This immense 
 valley, only five to six miles in width, is thus deep, dreary, and des- 
 olate. Many times the Israelites compassed Mount Seir ; and in the 
 first month of the fortieth year after the Exodus from Egypt, the 
 new generation again arrived in Kadesh from Ezion-Geber. For 
 lack of faith in the smiting of a rock at Kadesh, by "speaking 
 unadvisedly with his lips," Moses Avas forbidden to enter the Prom : 
 ised Land ; and in this day travellers have identified the stream that 
 sprang forth at the stroke of his rod. " The rock is a large, single 
 mass on a small hill of solid rock, a spur of the mountain to the 
 north of it rising immediately above it ; it is the only visible naked 
 rock in the whole district. The stream (falling in pretty little cas- 
 cades) when it reaches the channel of a rain torrent beneath turns 
 westward, and after running about three hundred or four hundred 
 yards loses itself in the sand. I have not seen such a lovely sight 
 anywhere else in the whole desert." 
 
 Moses was averse to entering Canaan by force from the south, 
 and asked permission from the king of Idumea (Edom) to traverse 
 the eastern passes of the mountains of Seir, that he might approach 
 by way of the Jordan ; but this favor was refused. — These descend- 
 ants of Edom or Esau inhabited a mountainous country abounding 
 with strong rock-fortresses, and intersected with numerous fertile val- 
 leys and ravines. The wonderful rock-hewn city of Petra was its 
 
 capital, famous for its magnificent 
 and imperishable edifices. Their 
 harsh treatment of these wandering 
 kinsmen received punishment in 
 later times at the hands of Amaziah, 
 king of Judah, who slew ten thou- 
 sand Edomites in the Valley of Salt, 
 which lay between the territories 
 of Edom and Judah, took their 
 capital and changed its name to 
 Joktheel, "subdued by God."— 
 Moses was thus compelled to skirt 
 the mountains southward by way of 
 Elath, and during the passage 
 Aaron died on the summit of Mount 
 Hor, on the western confines of 
 Edom. Num. 20 : 20-28. This 
 conical sandstone mountain, having 
 three rugged peaks, overlooks a 
 wilderness of heights, cliffs, ravines, 
 and deserts. On its summit yet 
 stands the tomb of Haroun or 
 Aaron, which the Arabs greatly 
 venerate. It is a small, white 
 stone building, crowned by a 
 cupola, and hung within with 
 relics. The journey northward by 
 the eastern side of the mountains 
 of Seir is well defined. Without 
 difficulty the Israelites arrived at 
 the brook Zered, on the southern 
 border of Moab, almost forty years 
 after their departure from Egypt. 
 The details of these journeys, with 
 many names of the encampments, 
 are given in Exodus 12.. 19. Num- 
 bers 11.. 14; 16.. 1 7.; 20.. 21; 33. 
 Deuteronomy 1.. 3 ; 9.. 10. 
 Moses, the great Lawgiver, the noblest and least selfish mortal 
 that ever lived, had accomplished his work as saviour of his people, 
 and was about to die. "His eye was not dim, nor his natural force 
 abated;" yet he was not permitted to lead his people into the 
 Promised Land. On the last day of his life, he spoke to those whom 
 he loved more than his own life and soul the noblest address ever

 God. And God said unto Abraham, Thou 
 shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and 
 thy seed after thee in their generations. 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.' 
 Therefore it was the Lord named this first 
 encampment, Gilgal : for He said, ' This day 
 have I rolled away The Reproach of Egypt 
 from you.' Josh. 5 : 10. Four days had now 
 elapsed from the day that Israel came up out 
 of Jordan, and they kept the Passover, being 
 the fourteenth day of the first month (exactly 
 forty years from that eventful night of Egypt) ; 
 and the next day, the fifteenth, they ate of 
 the old corn of the land, and the morning 
 following the manna ceased. This is the 
 history of the first week of the Land of 
 Promise. The reproach of God's people 
 rolled away — the Passover kept — and Israel 
 fed with the corn of the Promised Land ; 
 not a word had failed of all that the Lord 
 had promised." Jericho, and its broad 
 plain upon which the dying eyes of Moses 
 had rested, next fell into the hands of the 
 Israelites.

 delivered by a ruler to his subjects, exhorting them to walk in the 
 Lnv of Jehovah. Then Moses obeyed the words of the Lord: 
 " Get thee up into this mountain Abarim, unto Mount Nebo, which 
 is in the land of Moab, that is over against Jericho ; and behold the 
 land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a pos- 
 session ; and die in the mount whither thou goest up, and be gathered 
 unto thy people. . . . But no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto 
 this day." 
 
 Joshuinow led Israel across the Jordan into Canaan, the spring 
 floods rolling aside at the approach of the Ark. " The first encamp- 
 ment in the Promised Land was called Gilgal, the meaning of which 
 is rolled away j it was here that Joshua circumcised all the children 
 of Israel, even all born in the wilderness. A careful examination 
 of Genesis 17 : 7-10, with Joshua 5 : 6, throws great light on the sud- 
 ject, for God had said to Abraham, — ' And I will give unto thee, 
 and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all 
 the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession ; and I will be their

 BROAD PLAIN OF JERICHO. 
 
 PASS OF BETH-HORON. 
 
 One of the most important of the acts of Joshua, upon coming 
 into possession of the Promised Land, and securing to Israel its 
 greatest stronghold, is connected with the Pass at Beth-horon. 
 The name of Beth-horon belongs to two neighboring towns, in 
 what was known as the northwest corner of Benjamin — the 
 towns being still distinguished as the upp.r'and the lower. These 
 lay on two ridges, with valleys on each sidj ; Beth-horon the 
 nether being separated from the upper by a small valley, and a 
 rocky and rough pass up the ridge on which Upper Beth-horon 
 stood. The latter was nearest to Jerusalem, about twelve miles 
 from it ; and both were on the usual route to the sea coast. 
 Down this pass the great Israelitish leader drove the Ammonites ; 
 and here, too, in that moment of almost superhuman faith he 
 commanded the sun to stand still over Gibeon, and the moon in 
 the Valley of Ajalon. Here also Paul passed by night on his way 
 to Antipatris. Josh. x. 1-11; Acts xxiii. 31,32.

 The Mosaic law condemned Idolatry as the most abhorrent of 
 transgressions, and punished such offences with immediate death by 
 stoning. Jehovah was the theocratic king of Israel, the head of 
 the civil and religious state, who had delivered his subjects from 
 Egyptian bondage, and received their willing vows of allegiance at 
 Sinai. He had selected them as a people to preserve a knowledge 
 of Himself as the only true God, and to prepare the hearts of men 
 for the coming of the Prince of Peace. His rejection for the wor- 
 ship of senseless wood and stone, and the forsaking of His pure 
 commandments for the iniquitous abominations of heathen temples, 
 was the grossest rebellion, and most flagrant high-treason. Israel 
 was to be honored in being the living witness and accuser against 
 the idolatries of the world. Isa. 21:9; Jer. 50: 2. But the people 
 abused to the utmost theae exalted privileges ; for while they rever- 
 
 (44) 
 
 enced the Lord with their lips, they constantly forsook his solemn 
 services for the adoration of the gods of the nations among whom 
 they chanced to dwell. 
 
 All ancient nations who had not the Holy Scriptures to lead them 
 to a knowledge of the true God, became the dupes of superstition. 
 They deified and worshipped animals, the earth, the sea, winds, 
 rivers, fire, stones, plants, the sun, moon, and stars. In process of 
 time, they erected altars to abstract qualities, such as fame, peace, 
 piety, faith ; and as corruption of manners increased, they made 
 images to represent the viler passions of humanity, and worshipped 
 them with licentious practices. When the Israelites sojourned in 
 Egypt, that people worshipped forty-two leading deities, besides fifty 
 local divinities, and deified many animals. OSIRIS, the god of the 
 Nile, and the chief divinity of Egypt, personified moral good. He

 wore the crown of Upper Egypt, having upon it ostrich feathers, 
 and bearing also a serpent symbolizing immortality. It was fabled 
 that while on earth teaching mankind the useful arts he was slain, 
 his body cut to pieces and embalmed; that he rose again and became 
 the judge of the dead, among whom the righteous were called by his 
 name and receiveel his form. In its purely spiritual sense, this was 
 a wonderful foreshadowing of the gospel narrative. After death a 
 man was thought to be brought before Osiris, and his heart weighed 
 against the feather of truth. If guiltless, he was to dwell in per- 
 petual day on the banks of the celestial Nile; if guilty, he was to 
 become a base animal, and. to live in a fiery place of perpetual night. 
 Thus the Egyptians believed in the immortality of the soul, man's 
 responsibility, and the meting out of eternal rewards or punish- 
 ments. 
 
 APIS, the Sacred Bull of Memphis, which symbolized the product- 
 ive power of nature, was worshipped as the representative of Osiris.

 TEMPLE OF IPSAMBOUL. 
 
 The priests selected it by certain peculiar marks. Its color must be 
 black, excepting a square or triangular white spot on the forehead, 
 a crescent-shaped white spot on the right side, and the figure of an 
 eagle on the back. Under the tongue must be an excrescence shaped 
 like the sacred beetle, while the hairs of the tail were to be double. 
 Before it had grown decrepid, it was led in solemn procession to be 
 drowned in the sacred waters of the Nile ; and being dead, its body 
 was embalmed for a pompous burial. Immediately the whole nation 
 
 put on the manners of conventional mourning, and sometimes were 
 disconsolate for years before the priests could obtain a younger sacred 
 bull. Then all arrayed themselves in gay attire, and Apis was rein- 
 stated in liis temple. 
 
 ISIS, said to be the wife of Osiris, usually had the famous lotus 
 on her head, and was called the goddess of maternity ; but in later 
 ages and countries her rites became so immoral that even pagan 
 Rome would not allow their observance. The cow was sacred to her. 
 ATHOR corresponded to the Aphrodite of the Greeks, Venus of 
 the Romans, and Ashtoreth of the Philistines, afterwards worshipped 
 by the Jews. 
 
 PTAH was worshipped at Memphis under the form of a pigmy or 
 child ; but the knowledge of his qualities perished with his temples. 
 NEITH, afterwards Athene and Minerva, was the goddess of wis- 
 dom ; she wore the crown of Lower Egypt. 
 
 BUBASTIS was the lion-headed goddess of fire, and was wor- 
 shipped with great pomp ; the cat was sacred 
 to her. She has been identified with Diana. 
 Very many other animals were venerated. 
 Of the crocodile Herodotus wrote, as an 
 eye-witness : " Those who dwell about Thebes 
 and Lake Mceris consider them to be very 
 sacred : and they each of them train up a 
 crocodile, which is taught to be quite tame ; 
 and they put crystal and gold ear-rings into 
 their ears, and bracelets on their forepaws ; 
 and they give them appointed and sacred 
 food, and treat them as well as possible while 
 alive, and when dead, they embalm them, 
 and bury them in sacred vaults." The white 
 or sacred Ibis was venerated in the temples, 
 and embalmed after death. Its figure was 
 frequently on Egyptian monuments, and was 
 probably in favor because its advent an- 
 nounced the annual rising of the Nile to fer- 
 tilize the country. The Scarabseus or Beetle 
 appeared almost always in Egyptian sculp- 
 ture and painting. It was chiefly distin- 
 guished by having a broad, white band on 
 the narrow margin of its oval corselet. 
 Fishes were employed as images of divine 
 attributes, and also as emblems of fecun- 
 dity. The frog, hawk, crane, ram, locust, 
 serpent, wasp, etc., were also venerated as 
 sacred creatures. 
 
 Egyptian temples were massive in struc- 
 ture, and of magnificent proportions. Even 
 the roofs were built of stone, to secure a 
 coolness agreeable in that hot climate. The 
 illustration of the Temple at Aboo-Simbel, 
 or Ipsamboul, shows a festival of the .goddess 
 Isis. This grand building, with its gigantic 
 statues, was hewn out of the solid rock of a 
 sandstone mountain. In the majestic pro- 
 portions of vast masses, the mountain-like 
 firmness of its walls, the long vistas through 
 successive courts and lines of columns and 
 sphinxes, the predominance of interior over 
 exterior ornament, the universal use of color, 
 the symbolism of its ornaments, and the 
 monumental character of its edifices, Egyp- 
 tian architecture — at the time the patriarchs 
 were shepherds in Canaan — attained a devel- 
 opment yet unexcelled. 
 
 The entrance-way to the Temple (as 
 shown in the temple of Wady-Sabood) lay 
 between huge figures and two rows of 
 colossal sphinxes, or rams, to an enclosure 
 surrounded by a massive wall of cut stone, 
 covered with symbolic sculptures or paintings. Within was the 
 temple encircled by rows of trees. The awe-stricken multitude 
 were admitted into inner courts, while the priests alone entered 
 the sanctuary containing the image of the deity. These heathen 
 groves encouraged immodesty of behavior. Hence the Hebrew 
 Law forbade the planting of trees near the Sanctuary, and the 
 Israelites were commanded to destroy the groves of the Canaanites.

 ILLUSTRATED CYCLOPEDIA OF THE BIBLE. 
 
 The plagues which the Lord inflicted on Pharaoh and the Egyp- 
 tians for holding Israel in bondage, were specially designed to show 
 the utter impotency of their idols and idolatrous worship, and to 
 reveal the might of Jehovah. Num. 33 : 4. The Nile and its fish 
 were worshipped: "and all the waters that were in the river 
 
 were 
 
 human form, were consulted as oracles, and were thought to be talis- 
 mans able to avert evil. It was affirmed that they answered ques- 
 tions, and found any thing that was lost. This foolish use prevailed 
 for ages. 1 Sam. 19 : 13. Ezek. 21 : 21. All kinds of superstitions 
 are yet prevalent among the Bedouin Arabs. "When a child is

 turned to blood ; and the fish that was in the river died ; and the 
 river stank." The frog was a sacred animal: " and the frogs came 
 up and covered the land of Egypt," and they made every thing 
 loathsome. Entire cleanliness of the body was thought to be a 
 religious obligation : "all the dust of the land became lice," so 
 that all were defiled and could not enter their temples. These three 
 plagues came by the delegated hand of Israel's High Priest. Beetles 
 were everywhere sculptured and deified: " the land was corrupted 
 by reason of the swarms of flies," or the great Egyptian beetles. 
 From the cattle of the fields was selected a type of the chief deity : 
 " and all the cattle of Egypt died ; but of the cattle of the children 
 of Israel died not one." The fourth and fifth plagues came directly 
 from the Lord. Ashes was a means of purification : "and Moses 
 sprinkled it up toward heaven ; and it became a boil breaking forth 
 with blains upon man, and upon beast" — the means of purification 
 became a source of defilement. Nature's fruitfulness was symbolized 
 by a god, each tree was a deity, and the best fruits were votive-offer- 
 ings to idols: "and the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt 
 all that was in the field, both man and beast ; and the hail smote 
 every herb of the field, and brake every tree of the field." The 
 wind was one of their deities : "and when it was morning the east 
 wind brought the locusts ; they covered the face of the whole earth, 
 so that the land was darkened ; and they 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 in the trees, or in the herbs of the 
 field, through all the land of Egypt." The sun and darkness were 
 each worshipped as gods: "and there was a thick darkness in all 
 the land of Egypt three days ; 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." These four plagues, foreshadowing 
 the ultimate desolation and destruction to befall idolaters, came by 
 the outstretched hand of the Prophet of Israel. The tenth plague 
 was the execution of the final judgment: "and it came to pass, that 
 at midnight the Lord smote all the first-born in the land of Egypt, 
 from the first-born of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the first- 
 born of the captive that was in the dungeon ; and all the first-born 
 of cattle." Justice was tempered with mercy: all the first-born 
 unto Israel were sanctified — " therefore I sacrifice to the Lord all 
 that openeth the matrix, being males ; but all the first-born of my 
 children I redeem." Ex. 7.. 12. 13: 15. 
 
 The earliest mention of idols in the hands of Abraham's de- 
 scendants, is that of the images or TERAPHIM which Rachel stole 
 from her father Laban. Gen. 31 : 19. These were sculptured in the

 born, he is immediately laid in the cradle, and loaded with amulets ; 
 and a small bit of soft mud, well steeped in a jar of water, properly 
 prepared by previous charms, is stuck upon its forehead, to obviate 
 the effects of the evil eye ; a noxious fascination, proceeding from 
 the aspect of a personified, although invisible demon, and conse- 
 quent upon the admiration of an incautious spectator. The evil eye 
 is feared at all times, and supposed to affect people of all ages, who 
 by their prosperity may be the objects of envy."- Prov. 23 : 6. 
 
 Despite the severe judgments upon Egypt, the Israelites seem 
 always to have been tainted with the virus of idolatry. Josh. 24 : 
 
 14. Ezek. 20 : 7. Even 
 when daily fed with manna 
 from heaven, and while 
 Moses in the mount was 
 receiving the Command- 
 ments from the Lord, 
 they persuaded Aaron to 
 erect a Golden Calf, and 
 worshipped, this idol of 
 Egypt. Well might Moses 
 indignantly break the tab- 
 lets of the Law upon see- 
 ing them thus relapsing 
 into their former evil 
 practices. The graven and 
 molten images mentioned 
 in Scripture were not 
 carved or moulded in 
 metal, but were figures of 
 wood made by the carpen- 
 ter, and afterwards over- 
 laid with plates of gold, 
 silver, or inferior metal. 
 
 The names of twenty- 
 six idol-gods arementioned 
 in the Bible, several of 
 which are repetitions. 
 DAGON, "the fish-god" 
 of the Philistines, had 
 temples at Gaza and Ash- 
 dod. Samson destroyed the first temple, and in the other the idol 
 broke to pieces before the ark of God. 1 Sam. 5 : 1-9. The gods 
 of Ammon, Moab, Zidon, and Assyria were worshipped by the Jews 
 
 DAGON.

 in the time of Solomon. CHEMOSH was the deity of the first two 
 .nations, and essentially identical with Molech. Num. 21: 29; 1 
 Kings 11 : 7. CHIUN or REMPHAN is supposed to have been an 
 Egyptian idol reverenced by some of the Israelites, who carried with 
 them his small tabernacles, while travelling through the deserts of 
 Arabia. Amos 5 : 26; Acts 7: 43- ASHIMA, a "goat with short 
 hair," answering to the Grecian Pan; SUCCOTH-BENOTH, a 
 Chaldean goddess; NERGAL, the "man-lion" of Assyria and 
 Babylonia; N IB H A Z, probably a dog-headed man; TARTAK, an 
 ass, according to Rabbinical tradition ; ADRAMMELECH and AN- 
 AMMELECH, the sun and the moon-gods, were all first worshipped 
 in Samaria during the reign of Shalmaneser. 2 Kings 17: 29-33. 
 NISROCH,an eagle-headed human figure, prominent on the earliest 
 Assyrian sculptures, was being adored by Sennacherib when he was 
 assassinated by his sons. Isa. 37 : 38. TAMMUZ was wept for by 
 the women of Israel, when the prophet also saw abominable idols in 
 Jerusalem, and Jews with their backs to the Temple worshipping the 
 sun in the east. Ezek. 8. This idol is thought to be the classical 
 Adonis, whose fabled death by a wild boar was periodically mourned, 
 and his restoration to life — corresponding to the departure and return 
 of the sun at the solstices — celebrated with immoral festivities. 
 MOLECH, MOLOCH, or MILCOM, the kingly deity of the Am- 
 
 that later generations of the Hebrews gave the name Gc Ilinnom or 
 Gehenna to the place of eternal torments we call hell. 
 
 BAAL and ASHTORETH, supposed to be the sun and the rnoon- 
 gods, were the chief male and female deities of the Phoenicians. 
 With the former is identified Merodach or Bel of the Babylonians 
 (Jer. 50: 2); and with the latter the "QUEEN OF HEAVEN" 
 (Jer. 7: 18; 44: 17, 18), and the classical Venus. Baal represented 
 the principle of physical life, the generative power of nature; and 
 Ashtoreth the productive power. Human victims were sacrificed to 
 Baal, and the most impure rites were paid to Ashtoreth. As early 
 as the time of the Judges, the Israelites were guilty of observing 
 these abominable practices. In the times of Elijah and Jeremiah 
 almost the entire nation had forsaken the worship of Jehovah to 
 
 MOLOCH.

 1 : 2, 3, 16. 
 
 Jupiter, Mars, Mercurius, and Diana, mentioned in the New Testa- 
 ment only, were chief deities of the Romans, corresponding to similar 
 ones of the Greeks. JUPITER, or Zeus (Amnion of the Egyptians), 
 was the supreme god, all-powerful. A temple dedicated to his 
 worship stood without the walls of Lystra, in Asia Minor, when sev- 
 eral of the apostles preached at that town. MERCURY was the 
 messenger of Jove, also the patron of learning and eloquence. The 
 credulous people of Lystra, upon the miraculous healing of a cripple, 
 sought to pay divine honors to Paul and Barnabas, exclaiming : 
 " The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men." Acts 14 : 
 8-18. As Barnabas was identified with Jupiter, he was probably a 
 large man of noble bearing, while Paul as Mercury was slighter in 
 figure, younger, and gifted with persuasive eloquence. MARS was 
 the god of carnage and bloodshed. It was upon MARS' HILL — 
 the famous Areopagus where sat the chief and most ancient Athenian 
 court — that Paul discoursed so vehemently against the idolatry of 
 the city, and declared unto the people " THE UNKNOWN GOD" 
 to whom one of their numerous altars had been erected. DIANA, 
 the goddess of the chase and of chastity among the Romans, was in 
 Ephesus differently represented as a many-breasted mummy, was in- 
 vested with the immoral attributes of Ashtarte or Ashtoreth, and 
 was adored with great pomp: " Great is Diana of the Ephesians." 
 Acts 19 : 24-41.

 transgressions. The universality of sacrifices is shown by the records 
 of all former people, and by existing customs in all parts of the 
 world. The Hebrews offered oxen, sheep and goats, only, among 
 domestic quadrupeds, thus excluding wild beasts and all animals not 
 used for food. This practice differed widely from the rites of idol- 
 aters. Horses were sacrificed to the sun, hogs to Ceres, dogs to 
 Hecate, and wolves to Mars, while the Arabians offered up camels. 
 These sacrifices were always made by slaughter or fire. Altars were 
 originally built of earth, or of unwrought stone. They were espec- 
 ially erected on eminences, hill-tops, and occasionally under remark- 
 able trees. With all, an altar was a sanctuary, a place of safety for 
 such as fled to it for refuge. Idolaters raised altars upon every me- 
 morable occasion, such as a victory, or an earthquake. 
 
 Probably a roof supported on columns originally protected idol 
 images from inclement weather. Afterwards walls were erected, till 
 in time magnificent edifices were built of the rarest materials. These 
 first temples were called groves, in remembrance of the altar services 
 
 previously held within groves of stately trees. Rome, Greece, and 
 Asia Minor abound with remains of these temples. That at Miletus 
 was notable when Paul visited that city. Acts 20. 
 
 All the nations of antiquity were ad- 
 dicted to serpent worship, having received 
 it from the Egyptians. The latter conse- 
 crated the horned serpent to Ammon, and 
 interred it afterwards in his temple. Dr. 
 Kalisch states : "Almost throughout the 
 East the serpent was used as an emblem of 
 the evil principle, of the spirit of disobedi- 
 ence and contumacy. A few exceptions 
 only can be discovered. The Phoenicians 
 adored that animal as a beneficent genius, 
 and the Chinese consider it as a symbol of 
 superior wisdom and power, and ascribe to 
 the kings of heaven bodies of serpents. 
 The Egyptians represented the eternal spirit 
 of Kneph, the author of all good, under the 
 mythic form of that reptile, but they applied 
 the same symbol for the god of revenge and 
 punishment (Tithrambo)."

 HINDOO REPRESENTATION OF THE UNIVERSE 
 
 The singular and fantastic conceptions held by heathen 
 nations on many religious and other subjects that were par- 
 tially revealed to the Hebrews by Holy Scriptures, are well 
 illustrated by the mode in which the Hindoo people thought 
 the world to be upheld. Even the Jews, destitute of all sci- 
 entific knowledge of the earth's creation save what was furn- 
 ished in Genesis, imagined its body to be an immense disc, 
 supported like the flat roof of an ancient house by pillars (Job 
 9 : 6), which rested on solid foundations (Job 38 : 4, 6) ; 
 but where these foundations were on which the "sockets" 
 of the pillars rested, none could tell.

JEWISH WORSHIP: ITS TYPES EXPLAINED; 
 
 IN ALL WHICH IS DISCERNED THE MOST DISTINGUISHING FEATURE OF THE HEBREW SCRIPTURES— ITS TYPICAL CHARACTER- 
 WHEREIN THE WHOLE PLAN OF SALVATION IS REVEALED. 
 
 The Hebrews were a peculiar 
 people, selected to be the guardians 
 of the oracles of God. In the wil- 
 derness, the various tribes became one 
 nation, having statutes, ceremonies, 
 and religious rites specially adapted 
 to keep them from intermingling with 
 other nations. Jehovah was their 
 leader and king : the Tabernacle was 
 the dwelling-place of the Divine 
 Glory. All actions and thoughts of 
 men were to be governed entirely by 
 the will of God, as revealed in his 
 covenant with the nation. The Law 
 given by Moses sought to impress a 
 peculiar character of goodness on the 
 people. All were bound to statedly 
 enter into communion with a Holy 
 God. Piety being the chief object 
 of life, any departure from perfect 
 purity cut off the transgressor from 
 the honor of drawing near to the 
 presence of his Lord, and his salva- 
 tion from impending death could 
 only be sought by an expiatory sacri- 
 fice. The Law was a school-master 
 to lead unto Christ, "having a sha- 
 dow of good things to come, and not 
 the very image." Yet that its pre- 
 cepts and ceremonies were sufficient 
 to lead unto righteousness of life, is 
 evidenced in the lives of many devout 
 Israelites. Dr. Jahn has well remarked 
 that the rigid observance of the Sab- 
 bath, of the Feast of Pentecost after the seven weeks of the harvest, 
 of the seventh or Sabbatic year, of the year of Jubilee after seven 
 Sabbatic years, were all of them symbolic acknowledgments of God, 
 as the creator and governor of all things.' The Passover, likewise, 
 and the Feast of Tabernacles, vividly recalled to their memory the 
 fact that the creating God had been their deliverer from the Egyp- 
 tians, and their guide through Arabia. The names applied to the 
 Supreme being — Jehovah, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and 
 Jacob — their pledge of the Promised Land, the one sacred Taber- 
 nacle, one High Priest, one family of Priests, one tribe of Levites; 
 the tithes and sacrifices, the redemption of the first-born, the system 
 of impurities and purifications, and the other requirements of the 
 Law, perpetually admonished the Hebrews that God was the sole ruler 
 of all things, and that that God whose Shechinah dwelt amid the 
 cherubim had commanded all these things to be observed. 
 
 When Moses upreared the Tabernacle, it was in obedience to the 
 command: " See that thou make all things according to the pattern 
 shewed to thee in the mount." As "the example and shadow of 
 heavenly things" (Heb. 8: 5), it will be found that this divinely- 
 designed pavilion and its services are to us various parables teaching 
 spiritual truths. The choicely-colored illustration, page 68, has been 
 designed to give a faithful and exact representation of the Tabernacle 
 while at rest. In this plate every thing is of relative proportion, 
 excepting the Sin Offering and the Camp; these stand simply in 
 relative position. 
 
 As the Israelites numbered 603,550 men, besides women and chil- 
 dren (Num. 1 : 46), the Camp probably occupied an area of three 
 miles on each side. In the wilderness, without the Camp, was con- 
 sumed the Sin Offering. This was specially required when the High 
 Priest or the Congregation had sinned through ignorance, and also 
 on the great Day of Atonement. So Jesus, the Lamb of God, was 
 sacrificed as our Sin Offering without the walls of Jerusalem. Ad- 
 vancing directly towards the Camp, the tents and standard of Judah 
 would be first encountered, probably 2000 cubits or 3500 feet from 
 
 THE ARK, AND VESSELS OF THE HOLY PLACE. 
 
 the Tabernacle. Num. 2 : 34. Now Jesus is the Lion of the tribe 
 of Judah (Rev. 5:5), unto whom shall the gathering of the people 
 be. He is also the root and the offspring of David (Rev. 22: 16); 
 David's Lord, and David's Son. Matt. 22: 45. 
 
 A considerable space beyond were the tents of the Levites, pitched 
 round about the court of the Tabernacle. Immediately before the 
 gate of the court, in a parallel line with Judah, were the tents of 
 Moses, Aaron, and the sons of Aaron. Num. 3: 38. Moses and 
 Aaron combined set forth the Royal Priesthood of our great High 
 Priest — the Lord Jesus — the true Melchisedec. 
 
 The Court of the Tabernacle — which enclosed the Brazen Altar, 
 the Brazen Laver, and the Tabernacle — was an oblong of 100 cubits 
 (175 feet) long, and 50 cubits (87^ feet) wide. It was surrounded 
 by a fence 5 cubits (8^ feet) high, consisting of curtains of fine 
 white linen suspended on sixty pillars of shittim wood. Ten columns 
 were on the east and the west sides, twenty on the north and the south. 
 These were set in sockets of brass, as a safeguard from the earth's 
 moisture, and had capitals of silver. 
 Exod. 27: 9-18; Psa. 84: 2; Heb. 
 10: 25. 
 
 The Gate of the Court, the only 
 entrance, was a beautiful embroi- 
 dered curtain, having the same co- 
 lors as the veil. It was suspended 
 on four pillars, and was 35 feet in 
 width. This emphatically set forth 
 Christ the Way, by whom alone we 
 have access to the Father. Exod. 
 27: 16; Psa. 100: 4; John 14: 6. 
 
 The Brazen Altar of Burnt Offer- 
 ing, which stood between the Gate 
 and the Laver, is described in Exod. 
 27: 1-8. it was a hollow square, 
 five cubits in length and breadth, and three in height, made of shittim

 wood, overlaid with plates of brass. In the middle was a ledge or 
 projection, on which the priest stood when officiating. This was the 
 
 only altar of the He- 
 brews, and the divine 
 command was that 
 the fire should never 
 go out. This con- 
 tinual burnt offering 
 (which was doubled 
 on the Sabbath), with 
 its meat offering and 
 drink offering of fine 
 flour and wine, fitting- 
 ly set forth Jesus the 
 Lamb of God, who 
 gave himself from the 
 foundation of the 
 world to be ever as a 
 sweet-smelling savor 
 unto God. Eph. 5: 12. Leviticus, in its first eight chapters, de- 
 scribes the various offerings : burnt, meat, peace, sin, and trespass. 
 (See also "The Books of the Bible," article Leviticus). As Christ 
 is our sin and burnt offering, so are our trespasses only pardoned 
 by the shedding of his precious blood, and he is to be our peace offer- 
 ing — our All in All. 
 
 On the morrow after the Passover Sabbath, the sheaf of the first 
 fruits (gathered the previous week) was always waved before the Lord 
 at this Altar, by the High Priest. Thus, as Mr. Rhind eloquently 
 remarks, on that very morning that our blessed Lord arose from the 
 dead, and became the first fruits of them that slept, was the High

 OFFERING OF FIRST FRUITS. 
 
 Priest standing at the brazen altar in the court of the Temple, waving 
 the sheaf of the first fruits before the Lord ; and so the shadow of the 
 law, and the truth set forth by it, were both existing at the same time, 
 
 just as it had been in 
 the death of the Pas- 
 chal Lamb, three days 
 before. Fifty days 
 later, at the Feast of 
 Pentecost, another 
 sheaf was waved, and 
 two wave-loaves of fine 
 flour baked with leave7i 
 were offered as first 
 fruits unto the Lord. 
 As the Holy Ghost 
 descen ded on this day, 
 and in virtue of the 
 resurrection of the 
 Lord — the true sheaf 
 of the first fruits— 
 surely in the offering 
 of these two wave- 
 loaves we behold the 
 Jew and Gentile (yet 
 imperfect) raised up 
 by the quickening 
 power of the Holy 
 Ghost, and waved be- 
 censers. fore the Lord as the 
 
 BRAZEN LAVER. 
 
 One offering of the first fruits. From Pentecost unto the last great 
 Feast of Ingathering (typified by the Feast of Taber- 
 nacles, the earnest of which was in the incarnation of 
 our Lord) — that great harvest when He that sits on the 
 cloud with the golden crown, and having the sharp 
 II sickle, shall thrust in His sickle and reap — the Holy 
 
 Ghost who descended on those gathered at Jerusalem, 
 is the great teacher in the Church. 
 
 Censers for burning incense were part of the brass 
 appurtenances of the altar, and were used daily by the 
 Priests. On the Day of Atonement, the High Priest 
 filled the censer with live coals from the sacred fire on 
 the altar of burnt offerings, and bore it into the sanc- 
 tuary, where he threw upon the burning coals the "sweet 
 incense beaten small" which he had brought in his 
 hand. This he held while the incense was burning, 
 but in the daily offering the censer was set down on 
 the altar of incense. The shapes of these censers must 
 have varied. 
 The Brazen Laver was made of the polished mirrors of the women 
 that assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and 
 is described in Exod. 38: 8. It was placed between the brazen altar 
 and the door of the Tabernacle, that the priests might wash their 
 hands and feet to minister before the Lord in perfect purity. Like 
 the Psalmist's aspiration (26: 6), "I will wash my hands in inno- 
 cency, so will I compass thine altar," so must the believer seek* to 
 have his heart cleansed by the Spirit from every defilement ere he 
 approach to commune with God. John 13: 10. 
 
 The Tabernacle exhibits a graduated sanctity in structure, marked 
 by a complex and profound symbolism. Our rule in its interpretation 
 is to consider such parts of it typical as the New Testament affirms 
 to be so, and no more. The Tabernacle was situated in the middle 
 of the western side of the Court. It was 30 cubits (52^ feet) long, 
 10 cubits (17^2 feet) wide and high, and was divided into two parts 
 by a veil : the first, the Holy Place, was 20 cubits (35 feet) long, and 
 the Most Holy Place a cube of 10 cubits (ij}4 feet). It was built 
 of precious materials, and its entire cost is estimated to have reached 
 three million dollars. Sockets of brass to receive the pillars of the 
 entrance, and sockets of silver to receive the framework, were the 
 foundations. The latter were cast from the half-shekels of silver 
 which all Israelites had given for the ransom of their souls. The 
 superstructure was framed of boards of shittim wood covered with 
 gold, held together by five golden rods (the centre one of which went 
 through all the boards), and kept upright by cords fastened to brass 
 pins. Its ceiling consisted of four coverings: the inner of beautiful 
 embroidery; next, a covering of goats' hair; thirdly, rams' skins 
 dyed red; and the outer of the skins of badgers or seals, to protect 
 from dampness. This inner embroidery of " blue and purple, and

 scarlet, and fine twined linen," which constituted the ceiling of the 
 sanctuaries, was the same in the Gate of the Court, the Door of the 
 Tabernacle, and the Veil that led to the Most Holy Place. "So

 the Door, and our final entrance through the Veil (by the resurrec- 
 tion) into Heaven itself, where he becometh our Alpha and Omega, 
 our All in All." Exod. 40; Psa. 84; Heb. 9. 
 
 Entering the Holy Place, where the priests daily ministered, the 
 sacerdotal worshipper was shut in on two sides by the boards of gold, 
 w while behind, before, 
 
 and overhead was the 
 beautiful embroidery. 
 On the north or right 
 side was the Golden 
 Table of Shew Bread, 
 with the twelve cakes 
 ever before the Lord. 
 Upon these were 
 placed golden vessels 
 holding fragrant and 
 pure frankincense. 
 Exod. 25 : 23-30 ; 
 Lev. 24: 5-9. This 
 was designed "con- 
 tinually to exhibit an 
 image of the fruitful- 
 ness in all well-doing 
 which the people were 
 called to be ever ren- 
 dering Him from the 
 field of His inheritance." As the priests in their order of serving 
 fed on this consecrated food from the Lord's table every seventh 
 morning, so is the invitation of Jesus constantly given to all (espe- 
 cially on the Lord's Day): "The bread of God is he which cometh 
 down from heaven and giveth life unto the world. I am the bread 
 
 of life : he that cometh to me 
 shall never hunger, and he 
 that believeth on me shall 
 never thirst." John 6: 33, 
 35. These cakes were of un- 
 leavened bread. Lev. 2:11; 
 8: 26. Ordinary leaven was 
 a lump of dough in a high 
 state of fermentation, which 
 was inserted into the mass of 
 dough to be prepared for 
 baking. Its use was strictly 
 forbidden in all religious rites, 
 because of the corruption 
 which leaven had undergone, 
 and which it communicated 
 to bread. Matt. 16:6. 
 
 On the south, and opposite 
 the shew bread, stood the 
 seven-branched Golden Candlestick, "always lighted before the Lord. 
 It is supposed that its height was 5 feet, and the distance between the 
 outer lampi on either side 3^ feet. It was made of beaten gold, and 
 
 GOLDEN CANDLESTICK. 
 
 the cost of its precious material has been calculated at $25,380. 
 Exod. 25: 31 gives directions for its making; and the accom- 
 panying engraving, copied from the Triumphal An h o\ 1 itus, shows 
 the form of the Temple candlestick captured by the Romans at the 
 destruction of Jerusalem. Its lamps were trimmed with 
 wick, and daily fed with pure olive oil. This was the sole 
 light of the enclosed Tabernacle, as Christ is the "light 
 of the world ;" and its branches correspond to the "seven 
 lamps of fire burning before the throne* which are the 
 seven spirits of God." Rev. 4: 5. 
 
 The Golden Altar of Incense stood before the Veil. It 
 was constructed of shittim wood and overlaid with gold, 
 a cubit (1^ feet) long and broad, and two (t, 1 / z feet) 
 high. Exod. 30: 1-10. It was the duty of the High 
 Priest to place the bread on the golden table, li^ht the 
 lamp in the golden candlestick, and to offer the incense 
 morning and evening at ihe Golden Altar, though the 
 Priests were to watch the lights, shew bread, and incense. 
 Zechariah was ministering at this Altar when the angel 
 announced to him that a son would be born to him, who 
 was to be the forerunner of the Messiah. Luke 1 : 9-1 1. 
 The words of the Psalmist (141 : 2): "Let my prayer be 
 set before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands 
 as the evening sacrifice," illustrate the Intercessory char- 
 acter of the Golden Altar ministry. Our great High Priest in the 
 heavens hath " much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers 
 of all saints upon the golden 
 altar which was before the 
 throne." Rev. 8: 3. Thus in 
 the Holy Place was the bread of 
 God ever on the table, the light 
 ever shining, the incense ever 
 ascending. 
 
 The Veil before the Most 
 Holy Place — the Way to the 
 immediate presence of the Lord 
 — has been already alluded to. 
 It was of fine linen embroidered 
 in blue, purple, and scarlet; and 
 like the first covering, it had the 
 figures of cherubim wrought 
 upon it. The Veil peculiarly 
 typified Immanuel, who dwelt 
 with men, hiding his Divine 
 Majesty by the veil of his flesh. When the Spirit of Christ Jesus was 
 rent from his body on the cross, the Veil of the Temple was rent 
 from the top to the bottom, and the mysteries of the once Most Holy 
 Place revealed to the eyes of all, as its covenant-sanctity was forever 
 gone. This was the assured promise of His resurrection in glory, to 
 pass into the innermost sanctities of heaven itself; and as the first 
 fruits of this triumph over death, the graves of many of the saints 
 that slept were opened, and they arose. Matt. 27: 53; Exod. 26: 
 2,2,', Heb. 10: 19, 20. 
 
 The Most Holy Place lay within the Veil, and when this was 
 rent, it differed not in sanctity from the Holy Place. As gold here 
 took the place of brass and silver, so the Divine Glory far outshone 
 the highest type of human purity. Here was the Ark of the Cove- 
 nant, with its golden Mercy Seat, the overshadowing cherubim — the 
 highest form of created life — and the Golden Censer. The Ark, 
 made of incorruptible shittim wood overlaid with pure gold within 
 and without, was 2^ cubits (4^ feet) long, 1*^ cubits (2^ feet) 
 wide and high. Within it were placed the golden pot containing 
 manna, Aaron's rod that budded, and the Tables of Testimony 
 having the Ten Commandments written upon them. The Mercy 
 Seat was the solid gold covering or top of the Ark. On it rested the 
 Cherubim made of beaten gold, and touched each other with their 
 wings. Once in the year only, on the solemn Day o£ Atonement, 
 the High Priest entered the Most Holy Place, clothed in robes of 
 spotless white. With the blood of the bullock and of the allotted 
 goat that had been burned without the Camp for a Sin Offering, he 
 sprinkled the Mercy Seat, and seven times he cast the blood on the 
 ground before. Exod. 25: 10-22; Psa. 132; Heb. 9. The Ark 
 signified the person of the Lord Jesus, incorruptible in his human 
 body, and most precious in his divine nature. He alone had kept 
 the Law, and was without sin; He, as the Pot of Manna preserved 
 in remembrance, was the true bread given from heaven ; His alone 
 was the perpetual priesthood, as shown by the ever-budding Rod of 
 
 ALTAR OF INCENSE.

 Aaron. The covering Mer- 
 cy Seat, sprinkled with the 
 atoning blood, revealed the 
 double truth of His perfect 
 obedience in humbling 
 Himself to be made into 
 the likeness of mortal man, 
 and His vicarious sacrifice 
 of His own life to ransom 
 the souls of all doomed to 
 death for sin. "We are 
 not our own, we are bought 
 with a price." Once only 
 He entered into the Most 
 Holy Place, to make an 
 atonement for us ; but the 
 many sprinklings before the 
 Mercy Seat were mercifully 
 designed to attract the eye 
 of the sinner. By His life 
 and by His death the Lord 
 Jesus reconciled God and 
 man, even as the golden 
 Cherubim which knelt upon 
 the Mercy Seat lifted up 
 their overshadowing wings 
 to form the throne of God 
 — our King as of Israel — ■ 
 while His footstool was the 
 Ark. Here man met God,

 ishing kinship which linked

 Almighty. Thus the soul that is accepted in the Beloved, dwells in 
 the secret place of the Most High, and abides under the shadow of 
 the Almighty. All things, from the sin offering without the Camp 
 to the blood-sprinkled Mercy Seat in the Holy of Holies, testify of 
 Jesus; but the eyes of the Jews were holdcn that they could not see. 
 
 The symbolical glory-cloud which rested on the Tabernacle when 
 Israel was in encampment, was a pillar of shadow and refreshment 
 by day from the tropical sun-rays, and a pillar of fire by night to 
 give light and security to the faint-hearted hosts. When the cloud 
 was lifted up, the High Priest was permitted to enter even the Most 
 Holy Place that he might gather together and cover all the holy arti- 
 cles for removal. This is illustrated in the first engraving, which 
 also shows the form under which many ancient artists represented the 
 Cherubim; 
 
 Under the Mosaic dispensation, the people were not allowed to 
 offer sacrifices themselves unto God: a priesthood was instituted to 
 mediate between them and Jehovah. It was a royal priesthood ; for 
 the sons of Aaron were related by their mother to the very family of 
 the royal tribe of Judah from which sprang the Messiah. A shadow 
 and figure of the eternal priesthood of Christ was their ministration. 
 The robes of glory in which Aaron was arrayed at his consecration, 
 and in which lie blessed Israel, are full of symbolical meanings. Lev. 
 8: 1-12. Perfect purity is the great truth of all the Levitical insti- 
 tutions, whether considered as to the offerings or the offerer. The 
 first part of Aaron's dress was a coat, of the finest linen and the 
 richest embroidery. This set forth the inward purity and sanctity 
 of our great High Priest. It was gathered up by a fine Girdle of 
 needlework. Isaiah (n: 5") reveals this symbol: "And righteous- 
 ness shall be the girdle of. His loins, and faithfulness the girdle of 
 his reins." The glorious Ephod, or robe of celestial blue, was woven 
 like the seamless coat of Christ from the top throughout. It had 
 golden bells and pomegranates on its hem. In its color this robe 
 represented Him who had brought spiritual beauties from heaven to 
 dwell with men. The melody of praise followed all ministrations, 
 and the pomegranates set forth the abounding fruitfulness of saints. 
 Fitting closely, was an outer Ephod or vest, bound by a like girdle, 
 which resembled the Veil of the Tabernacle in texture and beautiful 
 colors of red, purple, and blue. The New Testament tells its pro- 
 found meaning: "Ye are the temple of the living God" (2 Cor. 6: 
 16); "Your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost." The shoulder- 
 pieces of the Ephod consisted of two onyx stones in settings of gold, 
 upon which were engraven the names of the twelve tribes of Israel 
 for a memorial. The radiant Breastplate of Judgment had twelve of

 the most precious stones set in gold, and fixed upon the beautiful em- 
 broidery. The names 
 of the tribes were cut 
 on these stones, and 
 the breastplate was 
 bound close to the heart 
 of the High Priest. 
 Thus, by these two sym- 
 bols were represented 
 the infinite compassion 
 and love of Christ for 
 his entire people, and 
 (lis willingness to up- 
 Aold his followers by 
 the power of his might. 
 The " Urim and Thum- 
 mim" upon the Breast- 
 plate appear to have 
 been " the Divine Light 
 and Perfections" origi- 
 nally given through 
 Moses to serve as the 
 oracles of God, and 
 which were lost by the 
 Priesthood at or before 
 the Captivity: but Je- 
 sus bought again for 
 his Church the Holy 
 Spirit to be a Comforter 
 and a Teacher. The 
 Linen Mitre, to which 
 was affixed, by a lace of 
 blue, the golden crown 
 
 BREASTPLATE OF HIGH PRIEST 
 
 with "Holiness to the Lord" engraven thereon, showed that every 
 passing thought, every prompting of the 
 mind, was to be pure and hallowed. 
 
 In Christ alone was fulfilled these 
 types of righteousness of life and ho- 
 liness of spirit: "for such a High 
 Priest became us, who is holy, harmless, 
 undefiled, separate from sinners, and 
 made higher than the heavens. ' ' Heb. 
 7: 26. "Seeing then that we have a 
 great High Priest that is passed into the 
 heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us 
 hold fast our profession. For we have 
 not a High Priest which cannot be 
 touched with the feeling of our infirmi- 
 ties; but was in all points tempted like 
 as we are, but without sin. Let us 
 therefore come boldly unto the throne 
 of grace, that we may obtain mercy, 
 and find grace to help in time of need." 
 Heb. 4: 14-16. 
 
 David first desired to replace the 
 movable Tabernacle by a more perma- 
 nent Temple ; but to Solomon was as- 
 signed the glory of its erection. This 
 magnificent building was erected on 
 Mount Moriah, and its entrance on the 
 east fronted Mount Olivet. Its ground- 
 plan was identical with the Tabernacle, 
 while the dimensions of every part were 
 exactly double. The Temple itself was 
 80 cubits by 40. The width of the Porch, 
 Holy, and Most Holy Places was each 
 20 cubits; the height of the former (the 
 Gate Beautiful) was 120 cubits, and of 
 the others 30 cubits. Besides the sanc- 
 tuaries, there were spacious courts and 
 colonnades where the people might as- 
 semble to perform their devotions with- 
 out being exposed to the open air. 
 Gentiles were allowed to worship and 
 offer sacrifices to the God of Israel in 
 the outer court called by their name. 
 Josephus mentions Alexander the Great, 
 
 Antiochus, and Ptolemy as having thus engaged in devotion. A low 
 wall of three courses of stone, and a row of cedar beams, both highly 
 ornamented, formed the outer enclosure of the Temple. This was 
 probably 200 cubits (350 feet ) by 100 cubits (175 feet; and 10 cubits 
 (17^ fcet) high. The vases and other sacred utensils were much 
 larger and more numerous than in the Tabernacle, but presented no 
 new symbolisms or teachings. The Ark with its golden Mercy Seat 
 and Cherubim was hallowed as before; but ten golden Candlesticks 
 and ten golden Tables of Shew Bread were ever befoie the Lord. 
 Within thirty-five years from its erection, this glorious Temple was 
 plundered by Shishak, king of Egypt, and was utterly destroyed by 
 Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, after having stood four hundred 
 and twenty-four years, B. C. 588. Within fifty -th- ic years Zerubba- 
 bel laid the foundation of the second Temple, which was dedicated 
 B. C. 517. In breadth and height it was double the size of Solomon's. 
 Herod successively renewed the various parts of this Temple, many 
 of his workmen being employed on its outbuildings throughout the 
 lifetime of the Saviour, and it was made extremely magnificent. It 
 was rebuilt of white marble, was adorned with ten superb gateways, 
 and its outer enclosure measured 400 cubits (700 feet; each way. 
 Josephus says that " it was of all buildings he had seen or heard of 
 the most wonderful for its size, structure, and magnificence. The 
 stones were white and strong, 50 feet long, 24 broad, and 16 in 
 thickness." Yet Solomon's Temple, being overlaid with pure gold, 
 was incomparably more glorious than the latter in its greatest mag- 
 nificence. The Ark of the Covenant, fire from heaven, the Urim and 
 Thummim, the anointing oil, the Shechinah or visible glory, and the 
 spirit of prophecy, which distinguished the former temple, were want- 
 ing in this. "In nothing, in fact, could the second temple excel the 
 first in glory (Hag. 2: 9), except in the personal presence of 'the 
 Desire of all nations.' He who is 'the glory of the Lord,' and the 
 true temple ' in whom dwells all the fulness of the Godhead bodily,' 
 and who was the true Shechinah of which that of Solomon's temple 
 was merely a type. And if it be admitted thai the presence of the

 promised Messiah was intended, then it will follow that Jesus of 
 Nazareth was He; for the second temple in which, as the ' Prince 
 of Peace,' he preached peace and reconciliation with God, has 
 been utterly desiroyed for eighteen hundred years (A. D. 70)." 
 
 which, until recently, neither Jew nor Christian was permitted to 
 enter. Beneath the vast area of El Haram still exists immense 
 arched ways and vaults of unknown date ; also a large and deep 
 well, and other indications th.it the temple always possessed a 
 copious and perennial supply of water, derived perhaps in part from 
 Gihon by Hezekiah's aqueduct, and in part from Solomon's pools, 
 and flowing off through the fountain of the Virgin, and the pool of 
 
 TABLE OF SHEW BREAD. 
 
 Josephus states that of the whole city of Jerusalem and the 
 Temple, excepting three towers and a part of the western wall, 
 " all the rest was laid so completely even with the ground, by 
 those who dug it up from the foundation, that there was 
 nothing left to make those who came thither believe it had 
 ever been inhabited." The worship of types, and shadows, 
 and symbols had given way to a full revelation of the Divine 
 mysteries hitherto kept secret from the foundation of the 
 world. In a spiritual as in a literal sense were fulfilled the 
 words of Jesus respecting the Temple and its services : " There 
 shall not be left here one stone upon another that shall not 
 be thrown down." Matt, xxiv : 2. Thus it has been with 
 the splendid building which rose upon Mount Zion like a 
 heavenly mountain of gold, and of snow, and became at once 
 the admiration, as well as envy of the whole world. It has 
 forever passed away. The whole structure above ground was 
 completely demolished by the Roman soldiers, under Titu;, A. D. 70. 
 The Temple area is now occupied by two Turkish mosques, into

 Siloam. In the outer walls of the present area are seen at several 
 places stones of vast dimensions, evidently left from the ancient 
 walls. Near the southwest corner certain huge stones mark the 
 beginning of an arch, a part of the stately bridge w'.iich anciently 
 connected the temple area with Mount Zion ; and a little north of 
 this spot is the celebrated wailing-place of the Jews.

COUNTRIES AND NATIONS OF THE BIBLE; 
 
 MAPPING OUT AND EXHIBITING IN BRIEF THOSE SECTIONS OP THE EAST, WITH THEIR VARIOUS PEOPLES, CONCERNING WHICH 
 ALL SHOULD HAVE A KNOWLEDGE WHO WOULD READ THE INSPIRED WORD WITH PROFIT. 
 
 Incidentally, and only in so far as their immediate influence 
 upon the people of Israel is concerned, the Scriptures refer to the 
 lands and history of the prominent contemporary nations. Many 
 of these allusions extend beyond the time of authentic profane 
 records ; but whenever and wherever a compar- 
 ison with monuments, ancient inscriptions, 
 manuscripts, coins, other antiquities, and an- 
 nals has been practicable, the exactness and 
 fidelity to truth of the Holy Bible have been 
 established to the minutest particulars. To the 
 same extent, a brief glance will be given to the 
 leading powers of ancient times. These may 
 be classed as follows : Egypt ; Syria, or Aram ; 
 Mesopotamia ; Armenia ; Babylonia, and Chal- 
 dea; Assyria; Media, and Persia; Asia Minor; 
 Greece ; Rome. 
 
 Egypt or " Mizraim" is called " the land of 
 Ham"(Psa. 105 : 23, 27) ; also Rahab (" inso- 
 lent") from its proud spirit. Isa. 51:9. From 
 the Mediterranean to the granite rocks of the 
 cataracts, its length is 112 miles, and it con- 
 tains 115,200 square miles of territory; but less 
 than 10,000 miles are watered and made fertile 
 by the Nile. Hermopolis was the border point 
 between the two kingdoms of northern, or 
 "Lower," and southern, or "Upper Egypt." 
 This is peculiarly a land of sunshine. Its only 
 tree is the slender date palm, whose tuft of foli- 
 age gives little shade. Rain falls very seldom, 
 and at Thebes a storm may not occur for four 
 years. Hence the plagues of hail with fire 
 and thunder, and of darkness, were to the 
 Egyptians terrific manifestations of Divine 
 wrath. Yet the land is one of great fertility, 
 owing to the annual overflowing of the Nile, 
 which yearly inundates the surface for three 
 months and deposits an alluvial soil. Famine 
 results only from the failure of the water to 
 thus irrigate the land. 
 
 The aspect of Egypt is remarkably uniform, 
 except about the picturesque cataracts bordered 
 by bare yellow cliffs. The plain of the Delta 
 and the valley in Upper Egypt become — after 
 the slimy mud of the inundation has been cov- 
 ered, by vegetation — a beautiful garden, a great 
 meadow of waving grain. The Nile valley is 
 seldom over twelve miles wide, and is enclosed 
 from the desert by ranges of cliffs 300 feet high. 
 The pure, bright, and destructive sands and 
 sand-drifts from the African Desert, have been 
 vividly termed the snows and glaciers of the 
 South. According to the ancient monuments 
 and narratives, the Nile was formerly bordered 
 by flags and reeds, abounded in wild fowl, and 
 had its surface decked with the sweet flowers 
 of the gay lotus lily. 
 
 Art, science, and literature were ardently 
 cultivated by the ancient Egyptians. The high- 
 est intellectual encomium that could be passed on Moses in his age 
 was — he "was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians." Es- 
 pecially do the architectural remains of temples, statues, obelisks, 
 sphinxes, and pyramids attest the culture and intellectual vigor of this 
 race. Grandeur of conception, colossal proportions, and massive 
 solidity of construction, are distinctive characteristics. Many of 
 the temples are of immense size, hewn out of the solid rock, elab- 
 9 
 
 oratcly sculptured and painted. The Pyramids are yet the wonder 
 of the world. The largest is 763 feet long at the base of each of 
 its four sides, 450 feet high, and covers a space of over 13 acres.

 his commercial dealings in horses, chariots, and linen yarn. The 
 great temple at Karnak yet contains records of the succeeding inva- 
 sion by Shishak, in the fifth year of Rehoboam, B. C. 973, wherein 
 he took the " fenced cities" of Judah, "came up against Jerusalem, 
 and took away the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treas- 
 ures of the king's house; he took all: he carried away also the 
 shields of gold which Solomon had made." 2 Chron. 12 : 1-10. 
 
 Judah and Egypt were alternately 
 
 in alliance and at war for many 
 generations after, till both coun- 
 tries were conquered by the Babylo- 
 nian empire, B. C. 588. Egypt 
 became a province of the Persian 
 empire, B. C. 525, was conquered 
 by Alexander the Great, B. C. 
 350, and by Rome, B. C. 30. 
 The Arabs gained possession A. D. 
 640, and since 1 5 1 7 it has been con- 
 trolled by Turkey. Thus have been 
 completely fulfilled the predictions 
 of Ezekiel : "It shall be the basest of 
 the kingdoms ; neither shall it exalt 
 itself any more above the nations : 
 for I will diminish them, that 
 they shall no more rule over the 
 nations." Ezek. 29: 15. "And 
 there shall be no more a prince of 
 the land of Egypt : and I will put 
 a fear in the land of Egypt. ' ' Ezek. 
 30: 13. The fate denounced 
 in the same prophetic passage 
 upon the cities of Egypt has been 
 completely accomplished. Path- 
 ros, Sin, and Tehaphnehes have 
 passed from remembrance. Ruins, 
 at times wonderful in massiveness, 
 mark the ancient sites of Zoan (Tanis), No (Thebes), Noph (Mem- 
 phis), Aven (On, or Heliopolis, in Goshen), and Pi-beseth (the town 
 of the goddess Bubastis), forty miles below Memphis. 
 
 Syria, the Greek name for the Hebrew Aram ("highland"), em- 
 braced the territory north and northeast of Palestine to the Taurus 
 mountains and the Euphrates river. This district, mainly moun- 
 tainous, is about 300 miles long, and from 50 to 150 miles broad. 
 Its parallel ranges of Lebanon and Anti-Lebanon are each 100 miles 
 in length. The great valley of Syria lies parallel with the coast, 
 having a length of 230 miles, and a breadth of from 6 to 20. Its 
 most important city was Antioch, on the Orontes river, 300 miles 
 
 north of Jerusalem. Here the term " Christians" was originated as 
 a nick-name (Acts n. 26J ; here the Gospel was preached after the 
 stoning of Stephen ; and here Paul rebuked Peter for his judaizing 
 tendencies. Gal. 2: n, 12. Damascus, probably the oldest city 
 now existing (Gen. 15 : 2), and the most beautiful in location 
 of Asia, is built on a fertile plain, six days' journey northeast 
 of Jerusalem. It was well known to Abraham, was captured 
 by David (2 Sam. 8 : 6), served as the capital of Syria in its 
 attacks upon Israel, and was distinguished as the scene of the 
 miraculous conversion of the Apostle Paul. Acts 9 : 1-27. With 
 these may be classed the imposing city of Palmyra, or " Tadmor 
 in the wilderness" (2 Chron. 8 : 4), lying in the regular caravan 
 route between Jerusalem and Babylon, and said to have been 
 built by Solomon. During the reigns of David and Solomon 
 most of Syria was annexed to the Jewish kingdom ; but it became 
 independent on the accession of Rehoboam, and engaged in fre- 
 quent conflicts with the adjoining kingdom of Israel. It fell 
 successively under the power of Assyria, Babylonia, Persia, 
 Macedonia, Rome, and Turkey. 
 
 Mesopotamia ("between the rivers") is the Greek term for 
 Aram-Naharaim ("Syria of the two rivers"), called also Padan- 
 Aram, "the plain of Syria." It is a fertile and charming district, 
 enclosed between the great bend of the Euphrates and the upper 
 Tigris. Many of the earliest scenes of Scripture cluster about 
 this neighborhood. Here lived Terah and other patriarchs who 
 preceded Abraham. From Ur of the Chaldees Abraham "went 
 forth not knowing whither he went." From Haran, the city 
 of Nahor, was taken a wife for Isaac. Here, also, Jacob 
 sojourned with Laban twenty years, and here all his children were 
 born but Benjamin. From thence came Balaam to curse Israel (Deut. 
 23 : 4) ; and king Chushan-rishathaim, the first oppressor in the 
 time of the Judges : 3 : 8. In after times it shared the fate of Syria 
 and Palestine. 
 
 Armenia lies east of the province of Cappadocia in Asia Minor, 
 west of the Caspian Sea, and north of Mesopotamia, Assyria, and 
 Media, from which latter countries it is separated by the Taurus 
 mountains. This district is an elevated table-land of romantic for- 
 
 ests and rich pastures. Here rise the great Euphrates and Tigris ; 
 also the Araxes, which flows into the Caspian Sea, and the Kur or 
 Cyrus, which empties into the Euxine Sea. Armenia (called in 
 Hebrew, Ararat, Minni, or Togarmah) was one of the extreme 
 northern nations known to the Jews. 
 
 The mountains of Ararat have been termed "the mother of the 
 world," "the second cradle of the human race," from the well- 
 established belief that somewhere upon their slopes rested the 
 ark after the Deluge. This range contains two immense conical 
 peaks, the highest rising 13,350 feet above the plain. The Great 
 Ararat has been ascended, and found to be of volcanic origin.

 Of these Ker Porter says: "It appeared as if the 
 hugest mountains of the world had been piled upon 
 each other to form this one sublime immensity of 
 earth, and rocks, and snow. The icy peaks of its 
 double heads rose majestically into the clear and 
 cloudless heavens ; the sun blazed bright upon them, 
 and the reflection sent forth a dazzling radiance equal 
 (o other suns. My eye, not able to rest for any length 
 of time upon the blinding glory of its summits, wan- 
 dered down the apparently interminable sides, till I 
 could no longer trace their vast lines in the mists of 
 the horizon ; when an irresistible impulse immediately 
 carrying my eye upward again refixed my gaze upon 
 the awful glare of Ararat." 
 
 In the valley of the Araxes is Nakhchevan, where 
 the patriarch Noah is reputed to have been buried, 
 and where also, it is claimed by tradition, he landed 
 from the Ark. 
 
 Armenia is selected by many as the site of the pri- 
 meval Garden of Eden ; for four rivers take their rise 
 here, two of which are the Tigris and Euphrates. 
 Others place Eden in the plains of Chaldea, above 
 where these rivers flow into the Gulf of Persia. An- 
 other opinion puts the situation of Paradise further 
 
 east, on the Indian Caucasus, or Imaus Moun- 
 tains, as delineated on the Map. Probably this 
 unimportant question will never be settled ; and 
 the very occurrence of the Deluge seems to 
 have destroyed the exact data for its verifi- 
 cation. 
 
 Babylonia the northern portion, and Chaldea 
 the southern section, of the country of which 
 the city of Babylon was the capital, are each, at 
 times, used in Scripture to designate the entire 
 land east and west of the Euphrates, while south 
 of Assyria and Mesopotamia. It was a vast allu- 
 vial plain of unexcelled fertility, extending 400 
 miles along the river banks and 100 miles in 
 width. " Babylon, the glory of kingdoms ; the 
 beauty of the Chaldee excellency ; the lady of 
 kingdoms, given to pleasure ; that dwelleth care- 
 lessly, and sayeth in her heart, I am, and there 
 is none else beside me." 
 
 The Tower of Babel ("con fusion") was erected 
 to serve as a prominent landmark on these level 
 plains, to be a rallying-point for the people and 
 thus prevent their dispersion abroad. As no 
 wood or stone was to be had, its material was 
 clay made into sun-burnt bricks. Its ruinous 
 site is thought to be identical with that of the

 later temple of the idol Belus, which consisted 
 of eight towers rising up successively above the 
 lower platforms. Having conquered and devas- 
 tated Jerusalem, Nebuchadnezzar "brought 
 away the treasures of the temple, and the treas- 
 ures of the king's house, and put them all into 
 the temple of Bel at Babylon." 2 Chron. 37 : 
 7. " On the west side of the Euphrates, at the 
 distance of a few miles from the other ruins of 
 Babylon," statesKitto, "stands this huge moun- 
 tain mass of ruins, bearing the name of Birs 
 Nimroud, the 'Tower of Nimrod.' Its present 
 height, reckoning to the bottom of the tower 
 on the summit, is two hundred feet ; the tower 
 itself being thirty-five feet. Looking at it from 
 the west, the entire mass rises at once from the 
 plain in one stupendous though irregular pyra- 
 midal hill. It is composed of fine bricks, kiln- 
 baked. From the western side two of its stories 
 may be distinctly seen ; the first is about sixty 
 feet high, cloven in the middle by deep ravines. 
 The tower-like looking ruin on the top is a solid 
 mass, twenty-eight feet wide, of the most beau- 
 tiful masonry ; to all appearance it formed an 
 angle of some square building, the ruins of

 which are yet to be seen on the eastern side. The cement which 
 connects the bricks is so hard that Ker Porter found it impossible 
 to chip off the smallest piece ; and for this reason none of the in- 
 scriptions can be copied, as they are always on the lower surface of 
 the bricks. It is rent from the top nearly half-way to the bottom ; 
 and at its foot lie several unshapen masses of fine brick-work, still 
 bearing traces of a violent fiie, which has given them a vitrified ap- 
 pearance, whence it has been conjectured that the tower had been 
 struck by lightning." 
 
 Probably the foundations of Babylon, which Genesis states were 
 laid contemporary with the Tower of Babel, consisted only of a 
 temple, about which a city gradually grew up. The seaf of govern- 
 ment was likely established there B. C. 1700. From the time of 
 Abraham to Hezekiah, Scripture is silent about Babylonia ; and 
 Assyria appears then to have been the ruling power. To Nabonassar

 and Nebuchadnezzar are ascribed the honor of rebuilding and 
 adorning imperial Babylon. According to Herodotus, the city walls 
 were double, the outer line being 56 miles in circumference, built of 
 large bricks in the form of a square. They were 87 feet thick, 350 
 feet high and protected by a vast ditch, having 25 solid brass gates 
 on each side, strengthened by 250 towers. There were fifty streets, 
 
 crossing at right angles, each nearly .'.fteen 
 miles long, while the houses were three or 
 four stories high. The new palace built by 
 Nebuchadnezzar was a magnificent structure, 
 having walls six miles in circumference. Its 
 hanging gardens were one of the wonders of 
 the world. They consisted of terraces rising 
 upon an artificial hill, 400 feet square and 
 over 300 feet high. It had the appearance 
 of woods overhanging mountains. Well 
 might the king, who had made this city the 
 capital of the world, in his pride be tempted 
 to exclaim : "Is not this great Babylon that 
 I have built for the house of the kingdom by 
 the might of my power, and for the honor 
 of my majesty?" Dan. 4: 30. Its inhab- 
 itants were given up to shameless licentious- 
 ness. Judgment was visited upon the city in 
 its capture by Cyrus, through the turning 
 aside of the waters of the river from their 
 ordinary course to make a roadway for his 
 army, on the night that Belshazzar profaned 
 the golden vessels despoiled from the temple, 
 B. C. 538. Jer. 51: 57. Its princely struc- 
 tures long since became piles of ruins, and 
 the exact site of the city has not been posi- 
 tively identified. To the very letter has been 
 fulfilled the prediction of Isaiah: "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 make 
 their fold there." Isa. 13 : 20. 
 
 Ancient Assyria lay east of the Tigris, and had Nineveh as its 
 capital. Asshur, the second son of Shem, was its founder. The 
 later kingdom included the provinces of Babylonia and Chaldea. 
 After the death of Pul, it appears to have been divided between his 
 two sons, Tiglath-pileser and Nabonassar, who reigned at Nineveh 
 and Babylon respectively, B. C. 747. The empire of Assyria 
 attained its chief glory in the following reign of Shalmaneser, the 
 conqueror of all the territory from the kingdom of Israel eastward 
 to Media and Elam, B. C. 720. In the time of the celebrated Ne- 
 buchadnezzar (B. C. 606), and by the aid of Media, this empire was 
 overcome and superseded in mightiness by the kingdom of Babylonia; 
 but these three countries were in turn conquered by Persia, B. 
 
 C 538- 
 
 Nineveh was long the queen 
 of the East, and rivalled the 
 later glories of Babylon. The 
 prophecies of Jonah and Na- 
 hum attest alike its greatness 
 and its wickedness. It re- 
 pented at the preaching of 
 Jonah, and was spared for a 
 season, B. C. 825. Arbaces 
 the Mede captured it, B. C. 
 753. Almost a century and 
 a half later, as predicted by 
 Nahum and Zephaniah, it was 
 overthrown by Cyraxes and 
 Nabopolassar. So completely 
 was its identity lost for ages, 
 that the infidels of the last cen- 
 tury denied that it had ever 
 existed. In 1841 its mound- 
 like ruins were explored, and 
 abundant confirmation obtained of the truth of the Scriptures. Vast 
 palaces and temples were excavated, containing numerous sculptures 
 in bas-relief illustrating the history, arts, and idolatry of this ancient 
 people. Some of the cuneiform or arrow-headed inscriptions have 
 been deciphered, and an Assyrian account obtained parallel to the 
 records in Kings and Chronicles. The names of Jehu, Menahem, 
 Hezekiah, Omri, and Hazael, with Sennacherib's account of his 
 invasion of Palestine, capture of Lachish, tribute received from He- 
 zekiah, and withdrawal from before Jerusalem, have been translated.

 pensities very strongly marked, a calm, settled ferocity, a perfect

 Media was the Eastern ter • 
 ritory of the Assyrian empire 
 to which the ten tribes were 
 transported in their captiv- 
 ity. 2 Kings 17:6. Its in- 
 dependence was finally ob- 
 tained in the time of Senna- 
 cherib, B. C. 700. South of 
 it lay the kindred district of 
 Elam or Persia, with which 
 it became closely united in 
 the time of the Persian mon- 
 arch Cyrus, B. C. 558. The 
 conquest of Babylon by the 
 combined armies of Cyrus 
 and Darius (prophesied by 
 Isa. 13 : 17 ; 21 : 2, and Jer. 
 51: 21, 28), is narrated by 
 Daniel 5 ; 6. By decree Cy- 
 rus terminated the seventy 
 years' captivity of the Jews, 
 and allowed them to return 
 to the Holy Land. 
 
 Asia Minor, the western 
 peninsula of Asia, is almost 
 enclosed by the Euxine, 
 ^Egean, and Mediterranean 
 Seas. Its prominence in the 
 New Testament narrative and 
 Epistles, arises from the re- 
 peated missionary labors of 
 Paul in its midst. To it the 
 name of Asia is applied in 
 Acts 19: 26, 27; 21: 27;

 24: 18; 27: 2. The other Scriptural refer- 
 ences relate to the smaller Roman district 
 of proconsulai Asia — Ionia, on the west 
 coast, including Mysia, Lydia, and Caria — 
 of which Ephesus was the capital. In the 
 latter district were embraced the seven 
 churcnes of Asia mentioned in Revelation. 
 The rums yet remain of the magnificent 
 theatre a.t Ephesus, wherein the preaching 
 of Paul was interrupted by shouts of "Great 
 isDianaoftheEphesians." Acts 19. ("Books 
 of the New Testament : ' ' Ephesians. ) The 
 provinces of Asia Minor mentioned in the 
 New Testament are — Bithynia, Pontus.Gala-

 The proud cities of Sardis, Ephesus, and 
 Laodicea have nothing but fragments of 
 ancient ruins to attest their greatness in the 
 days when the Lord Jesus sent them warning 
 messages in the Revelation of John. They 
 left their first love, and their candlesticks 
 were removed out of their places. Rev. 2 ;

 secution, and retains more than her ancient 
 prosperity. Philadelphia, Pergamos, and 
 Thyatira are towns yet existing, varying in 
 population from 6,000 to 12,000.

 ness under the rule of Alexander the Great. He conquered the nations 
 of western and southern Asia, as Daniel had predicted two centuries 
 before his birth, entered Jerusalem, it is said, and died in Babylon,

 the occasion and the power, by breaking down the barriers of exclu- 
 sive paganism, to fulfil their apostolic mission to other nations. Per- 
 sonal as well as popular independence was fostered by the example 
 of Greece, and Judaism was speedily divided into sects. "The 
 freedom of Greece was no less instrumental in forming the Jews for 
 their final work than the contemplative spirit of Persia, or the civil 
 organization of Rome ; for if the career of Alexander was rapid, its 
 effects were lasting. The city in Egypt which he chose to bear his 
 name perpetuated in after ages the office which he providentially 
 discharged for Judaism and mankind." Paul travelled twice through 
 Macedonia. Acts 16: 10. .17: 15; 20: 1-6. He found much to 
 commend in the candor of the people of Berea, in the affection of 
 those of the seaport Thessalonica, and in the liberality of the inhab- 
 itants of Philippi, where the Gospel was first preached in Europe. 
 Further allusion to the latter two cities will be found in the Epistles 
 addressed to them. ("Books of the New Testament.") 
 
 Under the Roman dominion, Greece was divided into two prov- 
 inces, the northern Macedonia and the southern Achaia. In this 
 sense Achaia is used in the New Testament. Acts 18 : 12 ; iq : 21 ; 
 2 Cor. n: 10. Its territory is contracted, irregularly shaped, 
 mountainous, and almost surrounded by the sea. These grand nat- 
 ural characteristics had a powerful and refining influence on the 
 religion, literature, and manners of the inhabitants. In perfecting 
 the arts of war and peace they surpassed all other nations. The 
 people were sprightly and cultured, but superficial. Beauty in all its 
 phases was the pursuit of their life. Hence with them religion was 
 a sentiment and a taste rather than a deep-seated conviction. Archi- 
 tecture was devoted mainly to its service, and its most glorious

 achievements were to be seen in Athens. This city had 
 three great ports, with which it was connected by for- 
 tified walls. The Acropolis or citadel was a craggy rock 
 150 feet in height, having a flat summit 1,000 by 500 
 feec. The Temple of Victory and the Parthenon, or 
 Temple of Minerva, were its most prominent features; 
 and the towering pediment of the latter was first visible 
 on approaching from any side. Within the Parthenon 
 stood an exquisite statue of Minerva, 40 feet high, made 
 of gold and ivory. Opposite the west end of the Acro- 
 polis was the Areopagus, " Mars' Hill," where Paul de- 
 livered his incomparable address to the inquisitive Athe- 
 nians; for they "spent their time in nothing else but 
 either to tell or to hear some new thing." Acts 17 : 21. 
 To Corinth, the only other city in Greece where Paul is 
 
 stated to have labored, reference is made in the article on 
 the Epistle to the Corinthians. (" Pooks 01 the New 
 Testament.") 
 
 The mastery of the Roman empire over the heathen 
 world was foretold by the prophet Daniel; and at the 
 advent of our Saviour their government extended over 
 Judea and far eastward. Its population then has been 
 calculated at 85,000,000. "The early Romans were men 
 of strong wills and rigid morals, who cared little for the 
 elegancies of life, but much for its freedom and order; 
 who scorned the credit to be derived from originality 
 compared with the practical uses of an invention ; who 
 were trained by education and discipline to rule them- 
 selves ; and were thus carried on from conquest to con- 
 quest by an insatiable desire to rule others. The Roman 
 of this time has his own virtues — simplicity and good 
 morals, joined indeed with roughness and want of feeling. 
 In a later age he lost the virtues without losing the defects. 
 The Roman at the end of his career of conquest, without 
 simplicity of manners and morality of life, corrupted by 
 wealth and luxury, yet coarse and unfeeling as ever, is a

 being who does little honor to humanity." The despotic rule of the 
 imperial government over all conquered nations, the unrivalled sys- 
 tem of public highways and bridges built through vast districts for 
 the easy transportation of troops and munitions of war, the tolera- 
 tion enjoined in matters of religion, and the immunity from oppression 
 enjoyed by a Roman citizen in the remotest parts of its dominions, 
 were circumstances all peculiarly favorable to the missionary efforts 
 of the Apostles in the first century. 
 
 Rome, the imperial capitol of the empire, was built on seven hills, 
 on the left bank of the Tiber ; and its walls had a circuit of sixteen 
 miles. Augustus, who reigned at the commencement of the Chris- 
 tian era, proudly said that "he had found the city of brick, and 
 left it of marble." Its temples were inferior to those of Athens, 
 Corinth, and Ephesus ; but its public buildings for usefulness were 
 unequalled. Its Pantheon, or Rotonda, the Coliseum, an oval am- 
 phitheatre 1 61 6 feet in circumference, the public baths, circuses, 
 and aqueducts, were magnificent edifices. At the time of Paul's first 
 visit, its population exceeded one million. One-half of these were 
 degraded slaves, and most of the others were pauper citizens sup- 
 ported in idleness by public alms. The wealth was possessed by a 
 comparatively small body of nobility, whose lives of luxury and 
 profligacy were almost too incredible to be believed. Such was the 
 populace that deified and worshipped their debased rulers. " Pro- 
 fessing themselves to be wise, they became fools ;..who changed the 
 truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature 
 more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen." Rom. 1 ;

 Canaan or Palestine is the most wonderful country on the face 
 of the globe. Expressly prepared, as it was, to be the sheltering 
 camp of the chosen people, till in the fulness of time the "oracles 
 of God" to them intrusted should receive a complete development 
 in the birth and life of Him who spake as never man spake, it 
 exhibits in all points its remarkable adaptedness to the slowly-accom- 
 plishing purposes of the Almighty. 
 
 i. In it an unwarlike people were to be preserved from invasion 
 and conquest by powerful and unscrupulous neighbors. What 
 impregnable ramparts were constructed for defence ! On the south, 
 Israel was guarded from the attacks of Egypt by the great and terrible 
 wilderness of Shur, Paran, and Edom, as well as by the rocky fast- 
 nesses from which Moses recoiled with his hosts. From the Assyrian 
 empire on the east, it was even more effectually shielded by the out- 
 lying desert of Arabia, the more immediate mountain ranges of Moab, 
 and the huge chasm of the Dead Sea and Jordan valley. The Great 
 Sea or Mediterranean formed the entire western boundary, upon 
 which fronted a rocky coast having only one fair harbor at Acre, and 
 affording no lodgment for inroads from ancient galleys. The two 
 grand ranges of Lebanon and the snowy peaks of Hermon on the 
 north were only vulnerable through the valley of the river Leontes, 
 which might have been defended against Syrian and Assyrian incur- 
 sions, as were the passes of Thermopylae and Marathon in Greece. 
 Wilderness, desert, cloud-capped mountains, the sea, and the turbu- 
 lent torrent of Jordan, made Palestine the Switzerland-fastness of 
 the world. Had the Jews not rebelled against their covenant with 
 Jehovah, they could have withstood the assaults of the entire ancient 
 world. 
 
 2. This very isolation of Palestine cut off Israel from contamina- 
 tion by outside nations and was a necessary adjunct to the exclusive- 
 (64) 
 
 ness of the Mosaic dispensation. Herein were they settled to fulfil 
 their covenant : "The Lord our God will we serve, and His voice 
 will we obey." Josh. 24: 24. Had the idolatrous inhabitants been 
 extirpated from the land, as originally commanded by the Lord, the 
 Hebrews would have remained a faithful witness against the depravi- 
 ties of all heathen peoples: " A light to lighten the Gentiles." This 
 was to have been " the glory of Israel." 
 
 3. No equal diversity of landscape, climate, and vegetation, within 
 the like narrow limits of territory, exists elsewhere. Although on 
 both sides of the Jordan comprising an area of scarce twelve thou- 
 sand miles, and as Palestine proper not equal in size to the State of 
 New Hampshire, it shows the distinctive features of the arctic, tem- 
 perate, and torrid zones. Mount Hermon lifts its head, crowned 
 with unmelting snows, ten thousand feet above the level of the sea; 
 and from its slopes fall the unfailing mountain cascades. In striking 
 contrast, the dreary Dead Sea is shut in between huge limestone 
 cliffs thirteen hundred feet below the level of the Mediterranean — 
 the lowest bed of water in the world — and its bordering vegetation 
 is parched by the rays of a tropical sun. Intermediate stretches the 
 temperate clime of hills, valleys, streams, lakes, and fertile plains. 
 In former times, of like diversity 'were the growths of its teeming 
 soil, and the animals which it harbored. These are elsewhere de- 
 scribed. In this way, be it reverently said, God taught those whom 
 He selected to be the inspired writers of the Scriptures: "Precept 
 upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, here a little, and there 
 a little." Isa. 28: 10. About them lay objects and scenes of nature 
 big enough in scope to appeal to the sympathies of human beings in 
 all countries and ages. These first became emblems of spiritual 
 truths to their countrymen, and have been divinely perpetuated in 
 the books of the Holy Bible unto onr days. A knowledge of the

 characteristic features of Palestine as thus alluded to, makes clearer 
 and sweeter the teachings of God's Word. 
 
 4 In the Bible times, Palestine was peculiarly a centre of commer- 
 cial and civil life, although only a passive spectator itself. By its 
 
 though

 geographical position, it was the connecting link between Europe, 
 Africa, and Asia. Its coast plains were the highways along which 
 caravans from the East, West, and South journeyed with precious 
 merchandise, as did the merchant-men of Midian in the lifetime of 
 Jacob. Gen. 37 : 28. Jerusalem was the key of empire in the East, 
 and Palestine was the battle-field of contending nations. Here 
 Assyria, Egypt, and Syria fought each other for generations with 
 varying success. Here Alexander paused, on his march of conquest 
 into Africa and Asia ; and here in later centuries the idolatrous 
 standards of imperial Rome were set up firmly. In the Old Testa- 
 ment, its history has only to do with the nations of the East, North, 
 and South. But the West — Europe, and the adjacent peninsula of 
 Asia Minor— exercised a controlling power over Palestine when the 
 words of the New Testament were living acts. Thus, 
 isolated and made a peculiar people 
 unto Jehovah by adoption, the Jews 
 were subjected to ages of tuition in 
 order to become the evangelists of the 
 world. But as they, in their self- 
 righteousness, scornfully rejected the 
 redemption mercies of Jehovah as a 
 people, they were rooted up as a 
 worthless branch and cast out of their 
 land of inheritance. 
 
 The names of this country have 
 varied with its history. Till the time 
 of the kings, it was generally called 
 "the land of Canaan" — from the 
 low region along the coast — in con- 
 trast with Aram, the mountainous dis- 
 trict east of the Jordan. "The land 
 of the Hebrews " (Gen. 40: 15), "the 
 land of Israel" (2 Kings 6: 23; 2 
 Chron. 2: 17), and "the land of 
 Promise" (Heb. n: 9), were terms 
 to denote its possession by the posterity 
 of Abraham. " The land of Judah " 
 became the title of the southern district 
 
 after the secession of the ten tribes, and " Judea" was thus applied in 
 the lifetime of our Lord. Zechariah called it "the Holy land" 
 (2: 12); Daniel "the glorious land" (n: 41); and Hosea " the 
 
 land of Jehovah " (9 : 3). " Palestine " was given in the Bible to 
 
 Philistia, on the southwest coast, but is now extended to the whole 
 
 country. 
 
 The length of Palestine from Dan southwest to Beersheba is 
 about 140 miles. Its narrow breadth at the 
 north scarcely exceeds 20 miles, while its widest 
 (across from Gaza to the Dead Seaj only reaches 
 90 miles. West of the Jordan, it thus contains 
 about 7,000 square miles. Its territory is 
 strikingly contracted. Within eight hours a 
 traveller can ride from Hebron through Bethle- 
 hem to Jerusalem, and another day's journey 
 will carry him half through Samaria. The 
 topographical features of the Holy Land are 
 faithfully exhibited in the steel-plate frontis- 
 piece. Its mere delineation shows it to be the 
 mountain sanctuary of Asia, and attests the 
 truthfulness of the patriarchal statements to " go 
 down into Egypt," to "go up into Canaan." 
 Through the centre, interrupted Only by the 
 broad plains of Esdraelon, stretches "the hill 
 country," a mass of mountain groups, made up 
 of bare rounded hills of gray limestone. Once 
 these were terraced to their summits with vine- 
 yards and olive groves ; but now the)' are mostly 
 naked of wood, and their sides are deep-ploughed 
 with the water-beds of winter torrents. East- 
 ward descends precipitately the deep valley of 
 the Jordan. Westward extends the level plain 
 of the sea-coast, broken into sections by the 
 hills of Carmel. This coast district held the 
 garden-spots of the country. To these the 
 original possessors always clung with despera- 
 tion, so that Israel "did not drive them out." 
 Judg. 1:32. For this cause, as well as to shield 
 
 themselves from the incursions of the plundering Bedouin tribes of 
 
 the outlying deserts, the towns and cities of the Jews were noticeably 
 
 built on the hill-tops and high plateaus. 
 
 Having thus taken an outline glance at the Holy Land, we are 
 
 prepared to consider its mountains, hills, lakes, streams, valleys, and

 considered in accordance with four enlarged maps of the Tribes, 
 printed in the text, which cover the entire territory east and west of 
 the Jordan. 
 
 To the tribe of Asher ("happiness "), was allotted the northwestern 
 coast of Canaan, from Carmel towards Zidon. In accordance with 
 the prophecy of Deut. 33 : 24, 25, this land wrs fruitful in grain, oil, 
 and minerals. These rich mountain and coast valleys contented the 
 hearts of this tribe. Thus isolated, it, like its northern brethren, was 
 not loyally attached to Judea and Jerusalem. Anna, "of the tribe 
 of Aser " (Luke 2 : 36), is the only prominent descendant mentioned 
 in Scripture. Zidon (Sidon), the wealthy and ancient city of Phoe- 
 nicia on the Mediterranean, was never occupied by Asher. In early 
 times it was more influential than the neighboring and more modern 
 Tyre. Its once spacious harbor is now almost closed with stone and 
 earth.. 
 
 Naphtali (" wrestling ") terminated northward at the rich valley 
 of the Lebanon. This tribe- mainly occupied the highlands, and had 
 a noble inheritance, with goodly, prospects: "satisfied with favor, 
 and full with the blessings of the Lord." Deut. 33 : 23. Its great 
 hero was Barak of Kadesh-naphtali. In common with the neigh- 
 boring tribes, Naphtali was overcome and depopulated by Assyria ; 
 but under the name of Galilee, this district attained its truest dis- 
 tinction in the days of our Saviour. 
 
 Zebulon ("habitation") possessed from the Lake of Cinneroth 
 to Carmel. Of Zebulon and Issachar it was said : " They shall suck 
 of the abundance of the seas, and of treasures hid in the sand." 
 
 sula 
 
 GRAND RANGE OF LEBANON. 
 
 Deut. 33 : 19. Elon, a judge of Israel, and the prophet Jonah, were 
 the noticeable natives of this tribe. Many of its towns were highly 
 favored by the instructions of' Christ. 
 
 Immediately beyond the northern boundary of Palestine lie the 
 two lofty ranges of Lebanon, the grand "white mountains " of Syria. 
 Enclosed between them is the fertile valley of Lebanon, or Ccele- 
 Syria, which is the northern extension of the Jordan valley. It is 
 from 5 to 8 miles wide, and 90 in length. Lebanon's snowy tops, 
 and sides girt with magnificent cedars, furnished sublime images to 
 the Hebrew prophets. As the pine is the tree of Lebanon, and the 
 poplar characterizes Antilebanon, these two upland districts differ 
 much in the character of their foliage. " Lebanon towards the sun- 
 rising" (Josh. 13: 5), is the name of Antilibanus in Scripture. 
 Although the whole mountain range was assigned to the Israelites, it 
 was never conquered by them. Hermon is the lofty northeastern 
 landmark of the Israelites. It lifts its snowy peak conspicuously 
 above the border city of Dan, and the fountains of the Jordan. 
 Fitly spoke an Arab poet of this highest peak of Antilebanon : "The 
 Sannia bears winter on his head, spring upon his shoulders, and 
 autumn in his bosom, while summer lies sleeping at his feet." This 
 mount, it is said, can be seen from the southern end of the Dead Sea. 
 
 Southward extend two great mountain chains, nearly parallel with 
 each other, and determining the configuration of the country. The 
 groups west of the Jordan, the principal of which are the mountains 
 of Galdee, of Ephraim, and of Judea, terminate on the Sinai penin- 
 
 MOUNT TABOR. 
 
 Those of Bashan, Gilead, and Abarim, on the east bank, run 
 down to the southwest coast of Arabia. Between these 
 two lines of mountains are the valley and stream of the 
 Jordan, the Sea of Tiberias, and the Dead Sea. 
 
 Two mounts in the south of Galilee are especially 
 noticeable from their connection witli Scriptural history. 
 These are on the eastern and the western limits of the 
 plain of Esdraelon. Their names are Tabor and Carmel. 
 
 Tabor, an isolated mountain five miles southeast of 
 Nazareth, and nearly midway between it and the Sea of 
 Galilee, is a strange and beautiful elevation. As viewed 
 from the northwest, it towers like a dome. Seen from 
 the east, it is like a long, arched mound ; and from the 
 southwest it resembles the segmenr of a sphere. From 
 the west and northwest ascends the ancient road to 
 the summit, where is found an oblong plain of shade and 
 lawn. It affords an admirable prospect. The eye can 
 roam fifty miles at will to Hermon in the north, Carmel 
 and the Mediterranean at the far west, the hills of Bashan 
 and Gilead on the east, while the ridges of Little Her- 
 mon and Gilboa close up the south. On this eminence 
 Barak gathered his forces at the command of Deborah, 
 to defeat the hosts of Sisera. Judg. 4. Tradition con- 
 nects Tabor with the transfiguration scene of our Lord. 
 More probably the heights of Hermon in Cesare?

 Godhead through the veil of the flesh. The Psalmist in

 singing of the merries of the Lord grouped 
 together the most graceful mountain and the lofti- 
 est as representatives of all in Palestine, and said : 
 "Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name." 
 Psa. 89 : 12. 
 
 Carmel (" garden "), the only sea promontory 
 of Palestine, is a projecting ridge of limestone, 
 eighteen miles in length. Its highest elevation 
 is 1,500 feet. Into the bay of Acre at its base 
 empties the river Kishon, which takes its rise at 
 the foot of Tabor. Carmel has many crystal 
 brooks, is covered with rich pasturage and wood- 
 lands, and enjoys a balmy atmosphere. It is a 
 lovely mountain, decked with blossoms, flowering 
 shrubs, and fragrant herbs. To its beauty Solo- 
 mon fitly compared his bride : " Thine head upon 
 thee is like Carmel. . . . How fair and how 
 pleasant art thou, O love, for delights! " Song 
 7:5,6. In its sides are over a thousand caves.

 Tradition calls a

 uge of Elisha. 
 Jeremiah in pre- 
 dicting the sure 
 overthrow of 
 Egypt by Nebu- 
 chadnezzar, linked its fame with that of Tabor : "As I live, saith the 
 King, whose name is the Lord of hosts, Surely as Tabor is among 
 the mountains, and as Carmel by the sea, so shall he come." Jer. 
 46: 18. And in the times of great desolation the prophet's threat 
 is: "The top of Carmel shall wither." Amos 1:2. At the south- 
 eastern foot of Carmel, by the ever-flowing fountains of the Kishon

 — looking out over broad Esdraelon, with Ahab's palace and Jezebel's 
 temple plainly visible — Elijah fearlessly confronted and confounded 
 the eight hundred and fifty idolatrous priests of Baal and Ashtaroth. 
 Here the gathered Jews, conscience-stricken, put the idolaters to 
 death, and the Kishon yet bears the name of "the River of 
 Slaughter." The smallness of the mountain streams of Palestine, is 
 shown by the drawing, made on the spot by an American traveller, 
 of a bridge spanning a river near Tyre. 
 
 On the road from Nazareth to Tiberias, lies Kurin Hattin Cthe 
 "Horns of Hattin"). This height overlooking the Lake tradition 
 calls "Mount of the Beatitudes." Its nearness to the Lake, low 
 height of sixty feet, central and isolated position, and " level place " 
 near the summit, induce Stanley to accept it as the site of the "Ser- 
 mon on the Mount." 
 
 The river Jordan and the several lakes 
 into which it flows, are the only inland 
 waters of Palestine deserving of mention. 
 Jordan is well named the "descender." 
 Issuing in a large fountain at the foot of 
 Mount Hermon, it plunges on downward 
 nine hundred feet through the waters of Me- 
 rom — abroad, impassable swamp — descends, 
 after another ten miles' passage, three hun- 
 dred feet into the Sea of Galilee; thenc - 
 reissues, and having fallen one thousand feet 
 more, through twenty-seven rapids, multi- 
 plies a direct course of sixty miles into two 
 hundred by its windings, and finally falls 
 into the Dead Sea, never to find another 
 outlet. It was at Lake Merom that Joshua 
 fought his third and last conflict with the 
 Canaanites, conquering the territory of 
 these four northern tribes from its original 
 possessors. Josh. n. The lower valley of 
 the Jordan has an average width of five 
 miles, and is shut in between two ranges of 
 hills 1,000 to 2,000 feet high. At Jericho 
 its breadth enlarges to ten or twelve miles, 
 and so continues generally along the Dead 
 Sea. It is excessively hot and parched. 
 This river has a swift and strong current, 
 varies in width from seventy-five to two 
 hundred feet, and in depth from three to 
 twelve feet. The crossing of this turbulent 
 stream, during its annual swelling, was un- 
 questionably an act of miraculous power. 
 Josh. 3: 15. Its banks are bordered by 
 numerous thickets, from which the wild

 beasts anciently lurking therein were driven out by the freshet : "He 
 shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan against the habi- 
 tation of the strong." Jer. 49: 19. Lieut. Lynch, of the United States 
 Navy, explored the Jordan through its entire course in 1848. He 
 speaks of the sacred river as having " its banks fringed with perpetual 
 verdure, winding in a thousand graceful mazes; the pathway cheered 
 with songs of birds, and its own clear voice of gushing minstrelsy; 
 its course a bright line in this cheerless waste. Yet, beautiful as it is, 
 it is only rendered so by contrast with the hard calcined earth 
 around." 
 
 The Sea of Galilee has received its various names from the plains 
 and towns on its western shore. "Sea of Chinnereth " (Num. 34: 
 
 LAKE AND CITY OF TIBERIAS. 
 
 2); " Sea of Gennesaret " (Matt. 14: 34); " Sea of Galilee " (Matt. 
 4: 18) ; " Sea of Tiberias " (John 6 : 1). It length is twelve miles, 
 and its breadth six. Its bed is depressed seven hundred feet below 
 the level of the ocean, and it forms a lower section of the great 
 Jordan valley. About it circle rounded hills from 500 to 1,000 feet 
 high. Their outlines are softened by graceful grassy slopes, and they 
 are clad with rich growths of grain and flowers. A level beach runs 
 along the lake's edge. This is formed of smooth sand and shells in 
 the central part, but is strewn with black and white stones of vol- 
 canic origin at the southern end. Its water is sweet and clear, and 
 abounds in fish. "If the' southern lake is the Sea of Death, the

 boats of fishermen, and populous cities were about its shores ; but 
 now the latter are decayed, and travellers have found only one small 
 boat on its surface. How intimately are associated this smooth beach 
 and these placid waters with the teachings and life of Jesus of Naza- 
 reth ! He dwelt at Capernaum, and shared His mighty works with 
 Bethsaida and Chorazin, towns also on its western shores. These are 
 now deserted. Tiberias, the luxurious capital of Galilee under 
 Herod Antipas, and a great resort of the Gentiles in summer, was 
 never visited by our Lord. It was the seat of the Sanhedrim after 
 the destruction of Jerusalem, and the Mishna was here compiled. 
 Modern Jews reverence Tiberias and Safed almost equally with the 
 holy cities of Jerusalem and Hebron in the south. They expect 
 Messiah to land at the former and to reign at the latter. Safed or 
 Safet is built upon a lofty hill on the extreme border of upper Galilee, 
 2,775 f eet a bove the sea. To it the Saviour is supposed to have 
 pointed in his allusion from the neighboring Mount of the Beati- 
 tudes: " A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid." Matt. 5 : 14. 
 
 northern is emphatically the Sea of Life." Its depressed position 
 exposes it to gusts of winds and to tempests, such as occurred in our 
 Lord's ministry. Mark 4: 36-41. In His days the lake had many 
 
 NAZARETH, LOOKING SOUTH-SOUTHWEST. 
 
 Nazareth derives all its celebrity from the fact that our Saviour lived 
 within it till the commencement of his ministry : it was the city of 
 Jesus. The village lies on the southwestern slope of a rich and 
 beautiful valley, enclosed by fifteen undulating hills, six miles from 
 Mount Tabor. Its inhabitants were despised by the Jews for their 
 contact with the Gentiles, and for their rudeness of manners. 
 Nathanael's words were a common proverb of his countrymen : " Can 
 there any good thing come out of Nazareth ? " J[ohn 1 : 46. 
 
 In a green open space at the northwest extremity of the town, is 
 an ancient spring or well. It is called " Fountain of the Virgin," 
 from the tradition that here 
 the angel saluted Mary with 
 tidings that she was to be 
 mother of the Messiah. 
 Looking on this scene of 
 our Saviour's childhood, Dr. 
 Robinson wrote : " He must 
 often have visited the foun- 
 tain near which we had 
 pitched our tent ; his feet 
 must frequently have wan- 
 dered over the adjacent hills, 
 and his eyes have doubtless 
 gazed upon the splendid 
 prospect from this very spot. 
 Here the Prince of Peace 
 looked down upon the great 
 plain where the din of bat- 
 tles so oft had rolled, and 
 the garments of the warrior been dyed in blood ; and he looked out, 
 too, upon that sea over which the swift ships were to bear the tidings 
 of his salvation to nations and to continents then unknown. " 
 
 Esdraelon is an uneven, triangular plain, 15 miles in breadth on 
 the east, 12 long on the north, and 18 on the south. A stretches 
 eastward from the Mediterranean to the valley of the Jordan. 
 Mounts Gilboa and Little Hermon break it into three narrow valleys. 
 Of these the central branch is the " valley of Jezreel," where Gideon 
 triumphed over the Midianites (Judg. 7), and Saul with Jonathan 
 were overthrown (1 Sam. 29). Unlike almost all other localities in

 Galilee, Esdraelon is associated with the events of the Old, and not 
 of the New Testament. Peculiarly has it been the battle-field of 
 Palestine. Here Deborah and Barak, having descended from Tabor, 
 
 were content to enjoy their possessions at the sufferance of the war- 
 like tribes about them, save during the oppressive rule of Sisera. 
 Judg. 4. " Issachar is a strong ass couching down between two

 overcame the hosts of Sisera and his "nine hundred chariots of 
 iron." Judg. 4: 13-17. Here the Israelites under Ahab defeated 
 the Syrians, who thirsted for plunder. 1 Kings 20. Near Megiddo 
 the pious Josiah was slain in his attack on the Egyptian forces. 
 2 Kings 23 : 29. From Carmel to Jezreel, across this wide plain, 
 Elijah ran before the chariot of Ahab. 1 Kings 18: 46. The 
 wonderful richness of this plain by nature and its present desolation, 
 are its most noticeable features. 
 
 South of Tabor and upon the ridge of Little Hermon, are the 
 neighboring villages of Endor and Nain. The former is elevated on 
 the hill, into which numerous caves are excavated. Probably in one 
 of these the apparition of Samuel appeared to the affrighted Saul 
 and the witch, even before she began her incantations. Nain lies 
 where the hill descends to the plain of Esdraelon ; and on its west 
 side the rock is full of caves used as sepulchres. Here Christ 
 restored to life the only son of a widow, and gave him to his mother. 
 Luke 7 : 11-17. 
 
 Cana was the birthplace of Nathanael, and the scene of our 
 Saviour's first miracle. Its site has been usually identified with the 
 modern Kefr Kenna, a village four miles northeast from Nazareth. 
 Here, enclosed with a wall, is a large spring, from which it is claimed 
 the water was drawn that was changed into wine. Dr. Robinson 
 prefers another site — that of Kana-el-Jelil, "Cana of Galilee" — 
 eight miles north of Nazareth. Its houses are now in ruins.

 burdens : and he saw that rest was good, and the land that it was 
 pleasant ; and bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant unto 
 tribute." Gen. 49: 14, 15. This territory was separated from 
 Ephraim by the Mountains of Samaria, and formed a part of Galilee. 
 At Jezreel, in the east, was the palace of Ahab, which Jezebel 
 enlarged by the seizure of Naboth's vineyard. 1 Kings 21. Here, 
 also, the Queen's body was afterwards tramped upon by Jehu's horses, 
 and eaten by the dogs. 2 Kings 9 : 36. 
 
 The tribe of Ephraim (" double fruitfulness "), which was inferior 
 only to Judah in power and influence, occupied the territory from 
 Jordan to the Mediterranean between Manasseh and Benjamin. It 
 was nearly co-extensive with the later district of Samaria. This 
 central mass of the hills of Palestine was occasionally broken up into 
 wide plains, having running streams and fertile tracts. This tribe 
 was blessed with the chief things of the ancient mountains and the 
 lasting hills, the precious things of the earth, and the fulness thereof. 
 Deut. 33: 13-17. The fertile plains and well-watered valleys of 
 Ephraim were secure from attack by the Jordan valley and the sea- 
 coast ; for they could only be invaded by a laborious ascent through 
 steep and narrow ravines, which a few men could defend against a 
 host. Joshua was the great hero of this tribe, and the prophet 
 Samuel was a native of Mount Ephraim. The Ephraimites were a 
 proud and jealous people. They were honored with the guardian- 
 ship of the Tabernacle for many generations. The establishment

 Dr. Robinson in 1838. It is in a retired valley ten miles 
 south of Shechem, and twenty-four north of Jerusalem. 
 The city of Samaria (from Shomeron, "watch-post"), 
 the capital of the kingdom of Israel, is near the centre of 
 Palestine, six miles northwest of Shechem. It is beauti- 
 fully and strongly built on an insulated hill, surrounded by 
 a broad deep valley. Omri, king of Israel, founded it 
 about B. C. 920. Ahab erected here a palace of ivory, 
 and a temple to Baal, which Jehu destroyed. It withstood 
 the assaults of the Syrians, and was only captured by the 
 Assyrians under Shalmanezer after a siege of three years 
 (B. C. 720). Herod built here a palace, and the temple 
 of Augustus, giving the Greek synonym Sebastie in honor 
 of the Roman emperor. " The long colonnade of the 
 broken pillars of Herod's city, still lines the topmost ter- 
 race of the hill. But there is no place of equal eminence 
 in Palestine, with so few great recollections. Compared 
 with Shechem or Jerusalem, it is a mere growth of pleasure 
 and convenience — the city of luxurious princes, not of patri- 
 archs and prophets, priests and kings. ' ' 
 
 SEBASTIE, THE ANCIENT SAMARIA, FROM THE EAST-NORTHEAST. 
 
 of the roval government at Jerusalem, and its selection by David as the 
 seat of Divine worship, alienated their affections. Their dissatisfaction 
 eventually culminated in the secession of the Ten Tribes, having their 
 capital at Samaria. Even after this revolt the prophets often applied the 
 title of Ephraim to the kingdom of Israel: "How shall I give thee up, 
 Ephraim? how shall I deliver thee, Israel?" Hos. n : 8. Shiloh, 
 Shechem, Samaria, Mounts Ebal and Gerizim, are the chief points of 
 Ephraim. 
 
 Shiloh ("place of peace") was the resting-place of the Tabernacle 
 for over three hundred years, from the time of Joshua till the capture of 
 the Ark of the Covenant by the Philistines in the time of Eli. Thus it 
 was one of the earliest and most sacred of the Jewish sanctuaries. Here 
 it was that Canaan was divided among the tribes; here the "daughters 
 of Shiloh " were seized by the Benjaminites for wives (Judg. 21 : 19-23) ; 
 here Eli judged Israel, and Samuel was trained as a prophet. The site 
 of the city of Shiloh was unknown for centuries, but was identified by 
 
 RUINS OF SAMARIA. 
 
 VALLEY OF SYCHAR, LOOKING SOUTHEAST. 
 
 Between the ridges of Ebal on the left and Gerizim on the 
 right, lies the narrow valley of Shechem, at some places only 
 a few hundred feet in breadth. Of this M. Van de Velde 
 says: "The awful gorge of the Leontes is grand and bold 
 beyond description ; the hills of Lebanon, over against Sidon, 
 are magnificent and sublime ; the valley of the hill of Naph- 
 tali is rich in wild oak forest and brushwood ; those of Asher 
 present a beautiful combination of wood and mountain 
 streams in all the magnificence of undisturbed originality. 
 Carmel, with its wilderness of timber trees and shrubs, of 
 plants and bushes, still answers to its ancient reputation for 
 magnificence. But the Vale of Shechem differs from them 
 all. Here there is no wilderness, here there are no wild 
 thickets, yet there is always verdure; always shade, not of 
 the oak, the terebinth, and the caroub tree, but of the olive 
 grove — so soft in color, so picturesque in form, that for its 
 sake we can willingly dispense with all other wood. Here 
 there are no impetuous mountain torrents, yet there is water 
 — water, too, in more copious supplies than anywhere else in 
 the land; and it is just to its many fountains, rills, and 
 water-courses that the valley owes its exquisite beauty." 
 
 Thirty-four miles north of Jerusalem is the city of Shechem, 
 called also Sychar (John 4: 5), and Sychem. Acts 7 : 16. 
 Many sacred associations cluster about this lovely spot. At 
 " Sichem" Abraham rested, and built the first altar to Jeho- 
 vah in the Holy Land. Gen. 12 : 6, 7. Nearly two centu- 
 ries later Jacob bought here "a parcel of a field," and 
 erected an altar to " God the God of Israel." Gen. 43 : 22. 
 In Shechem were buried the bones of Joseph ; and it became 
 the inheritance of his descendants. Josh. 24: 32. John 
 4: 5. Here Israel renewed their covenant with Jehovah on 
 entering Canaan, when the blessings of the Law were heard 
 from Gerizim, and its curses from Ebal. Josh. 9 : 33-35. 
 Shechem was the principal city of the Samaritans, and Mount 
 Gerizim was their sanctuary, as it yet continues to be. At 
 the mouth of the valley, a mile east of the city, a few frag-

 ments of stone attest the site of the now neg- 
 lected and choked up well of Jacob. Its 
 
 bottom was sounded by Rev. II. S. Osborn, 
 and found dry at a depth of 83 feet. It lacked 
 the ever-flowing "living water," which the 
 Saviour of mankind, sitting upon its curb over 
 eighteen centuries ago, urged the woman of 
 Samaria to drink and never thirst again. John 
 4. " Of all the special localities of our Lord's 
 life, this is almost the only one absolutely un- 
 disputed." 
 
 Sychar ("falsehood") seems to have been 
 a nick-name of derision given by the Jews 
 to this Samaritan city, and Stephen uses its 
 historical name. Acts 7 : 16. It is now called 
 Nabulons, from the Roman Neapolis. At 
 present the population is about eight thou- 
 sand, including five hundred Greek Chris- 
 tians, one hundred and fifty Samaritans, and 
 one hundred Jews. 
 
 Mounts Gerizim and Ebal stand over against 
 each other at an average distance of five 
 hundred yards. The separating plain of 
 Shechem is three miles long. Ebal is on 
 the right hand, and Gerizim on the left, to 
 a traveller approaching Shechem from Jeru- 
 salem. In length, height, form, they are much alike, and rise 
 about a thousand feet above the valley. They are equally 
 rugged and bare, having bold bluffs and precipices of lime- 
 stone. Their broad summits have no trees, but are scantily 
 clothed with dwarf shrubbery. Here, in the centre of the 
 Promised Land, and close to its oldest city, was enacted the 
 solemn ceremony of blessings and cursings. These were read 
 by Joshua, repeated by the Levites, and responded to by the 
 double array of tribes with unanimous "Amen." Deut. 27. 
 Josh. 8. Although Ebal was the mount of cursing, yet upon 
 it was erected the altar to Jehovah, on which the peace-offer- 
 ings were burned. The Samaritans have altered their copy of 
 the Pentateuch, so as to assign these sacrificial observances to 
 Gerizim, and thus pay that mount additional honor. 
 
 After the captivity, the Samaritan temple was built on Gerizim ; but 
 it was destroyed by John Hyrcanus (B. C. 130). Yet all its ancient 
 sanctity is upheld to this day* by this peculiar remnant of the Jews, 
 of whom Jesus testified: "Ye worship ye know not what." 
 Of Gerizim Stanley writes: "It is in the highest degree 
 probable that here, and not at Jerusalem, was the point to

 which the oldest recollections of Pales- 
 tine pointed as the scene of Abraham's 
 encounter with Melchizcdek, and the sac- 
 rifice of Isaac ; that the smooth sheet of 
 rock on the top of the mountain, with 
 the cave beside it, was from the most an- 
 cient times a seat of primitive worship, 
 and is the most authentic remnant of 
 such worship now existing in Palestine. 
 Gerizim, the oldest sanctuary in Pales- 
 tine, retained its sanctity to the end. 
 In their humble synagogue, at the foot 
 of the mountain, the Samaritans still wor- 
 ship — the oldest and the smallest sect in 
 the world ; distinguished by their noble 
 physiognomy and stately appearance from 
 all other branches of the Jewish race. 
 In their prostrations at the elevation of 
 their revered copy of the 'Pentateuch,' 
 they throw themselves on their faces in 
 the direction, not of Priest or Law, or 
 any object within the building, but ob- 
 liquely towards the eastern summit of- 
 Mount Gerizim. And up the side of 
 the mountain, and on its long ridge, is 
 to be traced the pathway by which they 
 ascend to the sacred soots where they 
 yearly celebrate, alone of all the Jewish 
 race, the Paschal Sacrifice." 
 
 The tribe of Dan ("judge") received the 
 smallest district in Canaan ; but it embraced a

 section of the fertile plains of the Mediterranean, extending from 
 the luxuriant Valley of Sharon on the north to Ashdod of the Phil- 
 istines on the south. But the Amorites coveted these best corn- 
 fields of Palestine. They 
 "forced the children of 
 
 Dan into the mountain, __ , 
 
 for they would not suffer '-?=Ji 
 
 them to come down into 
 the valley." Judg. i :

 Arimathea or Ramleh 
 and Joppa are the chief 
 points of interest in Dan. 
 Ramleh is a prosperous 
 town in the rich valley of

 west of Jerusalem. It is 
 identified with Arima-

 while rich olive groves cluster on the right about the foot of a sym- 
 metrical tower of an ancient church built in the time of the Crusades. 
 
 JOPPA, OR JAFFA. 
 
 JERUSALEM. 
 
 Joppa, eight miles from Arimathea, was the ancient port of Jeru- 
 salem in the time of Solomon, although a dangerous one. Here 
 were landed the cedar beams and other timbers from Lebanon, for 
 building the first and second Temples. Here Jonah "took ship to 
 flee from the presence of the Lord : " and on one of its house-tops 
 " by the seaside " Peter had his vision of tolerance. Acts 10. The 
 engraving shows the town from the south, with the wall of the present 
 Turkish barracks. North of this city was the port of Cesarea, which 
 Herod the Great embellished and fortified. It is noticeable as the 
 place of Paul's imprisonment for two years. Ruins now mark its site. 
 
 The territory of the tribe of Benjamin was contracted, and formed 
 a parallelogram of 26 miles in length by 12 in breadth. In the reign 
 of Rehoboam, it became the border line between the kingdoms of 
 Israel and Judah, although it remained loyal to the latter. This 
 district was peculiarly important for controlling the mountain passes 
 — the torrent beds and ravines which formed the only defiles by 
 which an enemy could penetrate the country. Those leading to the 
 deep valley of the Jordan on the east were steep and precipitous in 
 the extreme, while the declivity was more gradual to the plains of 
 Philistia and Sharon. Thus Benjamin was well named, " son of my

 right hand." Through these intricate passes, having bided his time, 
 he could suddenly spring upon his prey, rend it, and return in safety 
 to his fastnesses. Thus were fulfilled the dying words of Jacob: 
 " Benjamin shall raven as a wolf; in the morning he shall devour the 
 prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil." Gen. 49: 27. This 
 tribe was almost exterminated by its brethren in the time of the 
 Judges (19 : 20, 21). Benjamin afterwards gave the first king to the 
 Jews, Saul, as it did the great apostle Paul to the Gentiles. Jerusa-

 lem Jericho, Ramah, Bethel, and Emmaus are its most 
 noticeable places. The city of Jerusalem will be de- 
 scribed in a separate article. 
 
 Jericho, " the city of palm trees," was 18 miles north- 
 east of Jerusalem, and 7 miles from the Jordan. Ad- 
 vancing from Gilgal, their first camping-ground after 
 crossing the river, the Israelites captured and destroyed 
 this city. Five hundred years later it was rebuilt by 
 Hiel. Josh. 6 : 26. 1 Kings 16: 34. A school of the 
 prophets was established in it; and Klisha made this 
 town his residence. Here the Saviour healed the blind 
 men, and met with Zaccheus. Luke 18: 35. .19: 9. 
 West of Jericho is a range of dreary limestone hills, to 
 one of which is given the traditional name of " Mount 
 of Temptation." The present town contains about forty 
 mean dwellings. 
 
 The little village of Bethany, to which Jesus often 
 resorted to visit Lazarus, is on the eastern side of Mount 
 Olivet, two miles from Jerusalem. It is now in ruins, 
 and shelters twenty families. 
 
 Ramah, the official residence of Samuel, is identified 
 by Dr. Robinson with the modern village of El-Ram, six 
 miles north of Jerusalem. This is distinct from the place 
 of Samuel's birth, death, and burial, Ramathaim-Zophim, 
 or Ramah of the Zuphites. The same authority places 
 
 this much-debated site at Soba, 
 
 five miles west of Jerusalem. 
 Bethel("the house of God"), 
 
 where Jacob dreamt, Samuel 
 
 judged at times, and Jeroboam 
 
 sat up one of his golden 
 
 calves to be worshipped, lay 
 between Shiloh and Ramah. 
 It was called by Hosea Beth- 
 aven, " house of idols." 4: 15. 
 
 Emmaus lies south of Bethel, 
 about 7 miles from Jerusalem. 
 It is famous as the scene of our 
 Lord's interview with his disci- 
 ples on the day of his resurrec- 
 tion. 
 
 The tribe of Simeon (" heark- 
 ening"), like their brethren of 
 Levi, were scattered and dis- 
 persed among the nation of 
 Israel, in fulfilment of Jacob's curse for the murder of the Shechem- 
 ites. Gen. 49 : 5-7. " Out of the portion of Judah was the inher- 
 itance of the children of Simeon ; for the part of the children of 
 Judah was too much for them." Josh. 19: 9. The Philistine cities 
 of Askelon and Gath were on its western borders, and it contained 
 no places of note. 
 
 Judah ("praise") was the royal tribe of Israel, and the sceptre 
 departed not from it until Shiloh, the promised Messiah, came. Gen. 
 49 : 9. The southeastern section of Canaan was allotted to the 
 
 RAMATHAIM-ZOPHIM.

 tribe. Its average length was 45 miles, and breadth 50. After the 
 revolt of the ten tribes, the kingdom of Judah included the territory 
 of Benjamin, with part of Simeon and Dan. On the south, between 
 the mountains and the hills, was an undulating pasture land. West 
 of the foot of the hills, to the Mediterranean, lay the fertile lowland 
 - — an immense plain of cornfields. Eastward to the Dead Sea was the 
 "wilderness of Judea," a most dreary and desolate region, where 
 John baptized and Jesus was tempted. The "hill country of 
 Judah" was the central and most important district. From these 
 gray hills the "Lion of Judah" guarded the southern passes of 
 Palestine. " He stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old 
 lion — who shall rouse him up?" Gen. 49: 9. These hills were 
 terraced, watered, and fruitful with vineyards and olive groves. 
 Besides the bordering city of Jerusalem, its prominent features are 
 Bethlehem, Hebron, the Dead Sea, and the wilderness of En-Gedi. 
 
 OUTSKIRTS OF BETHLEHEM. 
 
 In a very fertile district six miles south of Jerusalem is the town 
 of Bethlehem, the birthplace of David and of our Lord. From the 
 fruitfulness of the adjacent country was derived its title Ephrath ("the 
 fruitful"), while Bethlehem signifies "house of bread." Kitto 
 states that the present luxuriance and beauty of its northern valley 
 are unrivalled in Palestine. "The steep hillsides by which it is 
 bounded are terraced with great labor and care, and covered with fine 
 fruit trees. This delicious spot may perhaps be taken as a specimen 
 of the general appearance of the hill country in the prosperous days 
 of the Jewish state, and of what it might once more become under 
 the fostering care of a good government, and of an industrious 
 civilized population." 
 
 Stanley writes of this town : " Its very claim to notice is founded 
 on the fact that it was but the ordinary type of a Judasan village, not 
 
 BETHLEHEM. 
 
 distinguished by size or situation from any amongst ' the thousands 
 of Judah.' All the characteristics of Bethlehem are essentially of 
 this nature. Its position on the narrow ridge of the long grey hill 
 which would leave ' no room ' for the crowded travellers to find 
 shelter ; the vineyards, kept up along its slopes with greater energy, 
 
 because its present inhabitants are Christian ; the cornfields below, 
 the scene of Ruth's adventure, and from which it derives its name, 
 ' the house of bread ; ' the well close by the gate, for whose water 
 David longed ; the wild hills eastward, where the flocks of David 
 and of ' the shepherds abiding with their flocks by night ' may have 
 wandered ; all these features are such as it shares more or less in 
 common with every village of Judah." The modern town contains 
 a population of three thousand. Its most conspicuous object is the 
 convent of the Nativity, which covers the traditionary cave or grotto 
 which is falsely alleged to have been the birthplace of our Saviour.

 SOLOMON S POOLS NEAR BETHLEHEM. 
 
 Three miles southwest of Bethlehem are the three ancient and 
 largest reservoirs of Palestine, called " Solomon's Pools." They are 
 built of large hewn stones, and are placed on different levels, so that 
 the bottom of one is higher than the surface of the next. The 
 largest is 582 feet long, 207 broad, and 50 feet deep, of which 6 
 was found by Dr. Robinson to be water. An aqueduct anciently 
 conveyed water from these to Jerusalem and Bethlehem. 
 
 These reservoirs are mainly supplied from a sunken fountain a few 
 hundred yards distant. A large round rock, heavy enough to take 
 the strength of several 
 men to move, closes the 
 mouth of a shaft of ma- 
 sonry which leads to 
 a subterranean, rock- 
 hewn room containing 
 the fountain. Tradi- 
 tion asserts this to be 
 the fountain to which 
 Solomon compares his 
 bride: "A spring shut 
 up, a fountain sealed." 
 Song 4: 12. Maun- 
 drell thus describes it : 
 "Through this hole you 
 descend directly down, 
 but not without some 
 difficulty, for about four 
 yards ; and then arrive 
 at a vaulted room fifteen 
 paces long and eight 
 broad. Joining to this, 
 is another room of the 
 same fashion, but some- 
 what less. Both these 
 rooms are covered with 
 ancient stone arches, very ancient, and perhaps the work of Solomon 
 himself. You find here four places at which the water rises. From 
 these separate sources it is conveyed by little rivulets into a kind of 
 basin ; and from thence is carried by a large subterranean passage 
 down to the pools." 
 
 A half hour's walk north of Bethlehem is the sepulchre of Rachel, 
 the beloved wife of Jacob. The present stone building is of modern 
 erection, and is falling to decay. Within it is another tomb of 
 Mohammedan form. The prophet, foreseeing the slaughter of the 
 babes of Bethlehem, touchingly represents the dead mother in Israel 
 as mourning their untimely fate: "A voice was heard in Ramah, 
 
 THE FOUNTAIN SEALED.

 lamentation and bitter weeping ; Rachel weeping for her children 
 refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not." 
 Jer. 31: 15. 
 
 Hebron, the capital of David during the seven years he reigned 
 over Judah only, was the ancient city of Ephron the Hittite, from 
 whom Abraham bought the cave of Machpelah as a burial-place for 
 Sarah. Here also were laid the bodies of the patriarchs Abraham, 
 Isaac, and Jacob. The deep valley in which Hebron lies was the 
 famed Eschol (" cluster "). It is yet the rich valley of vineyards. 
 The site of Machpelah is covered by a Turkish mosque, within whose 
 
 enclosure neither Jew nor Christian is permitted to enter. Of this 
 Momo says: " Immediately on the right of the door is the tomb of 
 
 Sarah, and beyond it that of Abraham, having a passage between 
 them into the court. Corresponding to these, on the opposite side 
 of the mosque, are the tombs of Isaac and Rebekah, and behind 
 them is a recess for prayer, and a pulpit. These tombs resemble

 small huts, with a window on each side and folding-doors in front, 
 the lowest parts of which are of wood, and the upper of iron, or of 
 bronze plated. Within each of these is an imitation of the sarco- 
 phagus which lies in the cave below the mosque, and which no one is 
 allowed to enter. Those seen above resemble coffins, with pyra- 
 midal tops, and are covered with green. silk, lettered with verses 
 from the Koran. In the mosque is a baldachin, supported 
 by four columns, over an octagonal figure of black and 
 white marble, inlaid, around a small hole in the pavement, 
 through which passes a cord from the top of the canopy 
 to a lamp, which is kept continually burning in the cave 
 of Machpelah, where the actual sarcophagi rest. At the 
 upper end of the court is the chief place of prayer, and 
 on the opposite of the mosque are two large tombs, where 
 are deposited the two large sarcophagi of Jacob and Leah." 
 Hebron lies 20 miles south of Jerusalem and the same 
 distance north of Beersheba, the southerly station of Pales- 
 tine. Of this border station of Beersheba, having yet its 
 two deep wells, Dr. Robinson writes: " Here, then, is the 
 place where the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob 
 dwelt. Here Abraham dug perhaps this very well ; and 
 journeyed from hence with Isaac to Mount Moriah to offer 
 him up there in sacrifice. From this place Jacob fled to 
 Padan-aram after acquiring the birth-right and blessing 
 belonging to his brother; and here too he sacrificed to the 
 Lord, on setting off to meet his son Joseph in Egypt. 
 Here Samuel made his sons judges ; and from here Elijah 
 wandered out into the southern desert, and sat down under 
 a shrub of Relim, just as our Arabs sat down under it every 
 day and every night. Over these smiling hills the flocks 
 of the patriarchs once roved by thousands, where now we 
 found only a few camels, asses, and goats." 
 
 Ain Lifta, the spring source of Nephtoah, is believed to 
 
 be the dividing "fountain of the water" between Judah 
 
 J~* and Benjamin. Josh. 15 : 9 ; 18 : 15. It is 2^4 miles 
 
 |Sp§ northwest of Jerusalem, and lies enbosomed in delightful 
 
 Up!! groves of orange, almond, pear, apricot, and pomegranate 
 
 trees. 
 
 Directly west of the Dead Sea extends the wild wilder- 
 ness of En-Gedi, among whose " rocks of the wild goats " 
 David and his men were hunted as partridges by the infu- 
 riated Saul. These heights were 1,500 feet above the sea. 
 " On all sides the country is full of caverns, which might 
 then serve as lurking-places for David and his men, as they 
 do for outlaws at the present day." On its edge stood 
 En-Gedi, or Hazeron-Tamar, "the city of palm trees." 
 A fine fountain breaks from the rocks 400 feet above the 
 shore, and waters a little oasis whose fertility was cele- 
 brated by Solomon : " My beloved is unto me as a cluster 
 of cypress in the vineyards of En-Gedi." Song 1 : 14.

 The Dead or Salt Sea is the most remarkable body of water in the 
 world. Its surface is the deepest depressed, being 1,300 feet below 
 the Mediterranean, and covers the country once occupied by the 
 districts of Sodom and Gomorrah. Its basin has been described as 
 a steaming caldron which can never be filled to overflowing, as the 
 torrid temperature produces rapid evaporation. It is 40 miles long, 
 9 broad, of an average depth of 1,080 feet, and lies between bare 
 limestone cliffs rising upward 1,200 to 2,000 feet. The water is of

 a greenish hue, intensely salt, and leaves a nauseous, bitter taste. 
 Not the slightest trace of animalcular life can be detected in this water 
 by scientific test. Dean Stanley states the prevailing character- 
 istic of the Sea of Death as net gloom, but desolation. "Along 
 the desert shore, the white crust of salt indicates the cause of its 
 sterility. Thus the few living creatures which the Jordan washes 
 down into its waters, are destroyed. Hence arise the unnatural 
 buoyancy and the intolerable nausea to taste and touch, which raise 
 to the highest pitch the contrast between its clear, bitter waves and 
 the soft, fresh, turbid stream of its parent river. Strewn along its 
 desolate margin lie the most striking memorials of this last conflict of 
 life and death ; trunks and branches of trees, torn down from the thick- 
 ets of the river-jungle by the violence of the Jordan, thrust out into the 
 sea, and thrown up again by its waves, dead and barren as itself. 
 The dead beach — so unlike the shell-covered shores of the two seas 
 between which it lies, the Sea of Tiberias and the Gulf of Akaba — - 
 shelves gradually into the calm waters. A deep haze — that which, 
 to earlier ages, gave the appearance of ' the smoke going up for ever 
 and ever ' — veils its southern extremity, and almost gives it the dim 
 horizon of a real sea. In the nearer view rises the low island close 
 to its northern end, and the long promontory projecting from the 
 eastern side, which divides it into its two unequal parts. Beyond, at 
 its southern end, rises the mountain of rock-salt." 
 
 Here, on a hill at the west side of the lake, rises a pillar of salt ; 
 but not the one of Lot's wife, as she fled from Zoar, in the plain on 
 the east side. Lieut. Lynch describes it as " a lofty, round pillar, 
 standing apparently detached from the general mass at the head of a 
 deep, narrow, and abrupt chasm. The beach was a soft, slimy mud, 
 encrusted with salt, and a short distance from the water covered with 
 saline fragments, and flakes of bitumen. We found the pillar to be 
 of solid salt, capped with carbonate of lime, cylindrical in front, 
 and pyramidal behind. The upper or rounded part is about forty 
 feet high, resting on a kind of oval pedestal, from forty to sixty feet 
 above the level of the sea. It slightly decreases in size upwards, 
 crumbles at the top, and is one entire mass of crystallization. Its 
 peculiar shape is attributable to the action of the winter rains." 
 This explorer concludes his " Narrative " with the testimony: "We 
 entered upon this sea with conflicting opinions. One of the party 
 was sceptical, and another, I believe, a professed unbeliever of the 
 Mosaic account. After twenty-two days' close investigation, if I am 
 not mistaken, we are unanimous in the conviction of the truth of the 
 
 Scriptural account of the destruction of the cities of the plain. I 
 record with diffidence the conclusions we have reached, simply as a 
 protest against the shallow deductions of would-be-unbelievers." 
 
 To the tribes of Gad ("fortune"), Reuben ("pity of God "}, 
 and the half-tribe of Manasseh ("forgetting"), were allotted the 
 country east of the Jordan previously contained in Bashan, Gilead, 
 Amnion, and Moab. Of this district our information is only vague ; 
 and indeed the Scriptural references thereto are comparatively unim- 
 portant. "The mountains rise from the valley of the Jordan 
 to the height, it is believed, of two or three thousand feet, 
 and this gives them, when seen from the western side, the 
 appearance of a much greater actual elevation than they really 
 possess ; as though they rose high above the mountains of 
 Judaea on which the spectator stands. As approached from 
 the Ghor, the horizontal outline which they always wear 
 when seen from a distance is broken ; and it is described, 
 that when their summits are attained, a wholly new scene 
 bursts upon the view, unlike any thing which could be ex- 
 pected from below — unlike any thing in western Palestine. 
 A wide table-land appears tossed about in wild confusion 
 of undulating downs, clothed with rich grass throughout, 
 and in the northern parts, with magnificent forests of 
 sycamore, beech, terebinth, ilex, and enormous fig-trees. 
 These downs are broken by three deep defiles, through 
 which the three rivers of the Jarmuk, the Jabbok, and the 
 Arnon fall into the Jordan. On the east they melt away into 
 the vast red plain which, by a gradual descent, joins the 
 level of the plain of the Hauran and of the Assyrian desert. 
 This is the general picture given of the trans-Jordanic terri- 
 tory." 
 
 On the territory of Gad were fought the fierce conflicts 
 between Syria and Israel. At Ramoth-Gilead Ahab was 
 killed, and fourteen years later his son Joram was wounded; 
 here, also, Jehu was proclaimed king. The inhabitants of Jabesh- 
 Gilead, in Manasseh, were threatened by the Ammonites with the 
 putting out of their right eyes; but Saul came to their relief with 
 an army. Pul and Tiglath-Pileser made this whole region subject to 
 Assyria. In the time of our Saviour this part of Palestine, then 
 termed Perea, was twice visited by Him, and the demoniacs were 
 healed at Gadara.

 "Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount 
 Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King." Psa. 
 48: 2. Thus sang David exultingly of the city he had founded on 
 the rocky fortress conquered from the Jebusites. But nearly five 
 centuries later the captive Ezekicl spoke another message, and the 
 last one of warning to this hotbed of idolatry and iniquity: "Thus 
 saith the Lord God unto Jerusalem : Thy birth and thy nativity is 
 of the land of Canaan ; thy father was an Amorite, and thy mother 
 a Hittite. And thine elder sister is Samaria, she and her daughters 
 that dwell at thy left hand ; and thy younger sister, that dwelleth at 
 thy right hand, is Sodom and her daughters. Thou wast corrupted 
 more than they in all thy ways." Ezek. 16: 3, 46, 47. Between 
 these two periods was the prime of the power and pride of Jerusalem. 
 
 After its speedy conquest and destruction by Nebuchadnezzar, 
 Jerusalem remained a heap of ruins for seventy years, and never fully 
 regained its former splendor. Herod the Great who reigned over 
 Judea in the generation immediately preceding the ministry of our 
 Saviour, expended vast sums in beautifying the city and rebuilding 
 the Temple.* Less than forty years after the crucifixion of the 
 
 * The descendants and successors of Herod the Great, as connected with the New Testament, 
 were : 
 
 Herod Antipas, his son, tetrarch of Galilee and Pcrea (Luke 3 : 1; Mark 6 : 14), who took 
 
 Messiah, Jerusalem and its Temple were completely destroyed by the 
 Romans under Titus, after more than a million Jews had perished in 
 the siege ; and the name of the city was blotted out of memory for 
 generations. Literally was fulfilled the prediction of the Saviour, 
 who wept as he spoke of the desolation to come upon this apostate 
 city: " There shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this 
 people, and they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be

 down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled." 
 Luke 21 : 23, 24. 
 
 Jerusalem is emphatically the mountain sanctuary of Palestine, 
 guarding the wild defiles that are the only approaches into Judea. It 
 is built on the southern edge of one of the highest table-lands, 2500 
 feet above the Mediterranean ; and to it the ascent is continuous in 
 all approaches except from Hebron. The Mediterranean is 32 miles

 miles north, and Hebron 20 south. On its 
 western and northwestern sides it has room for 
 growth ; but on the south and east the sloping 
 ground terminates abruptly in precipitous heights 
 overhanging two deep valleys or ravines. 
 
 On the east the valley of Jehoshaphat, a deep 
 and narrow defile, i]4 miles long before it turns 
 to the south, separates the city from the Mount 
 of Olives. In the Bible this is called the 
 "brook Cedron " ("the black valley"). Its bed 
 is dry except in the rainy season, and nearly 
 forty feet of rubbish lies between the ancient and 
 the present false surface. Eastward through this 
 gorge to its entrance into the Dead Sea, the 
 prophet Ezekiel saw in a vision the outflowing 
 of the living river from the Temple, that was to 
 heal the bitter waters and make the barren wil- 
 derness blossom as the rose. By this route 
 David fled from Absalom ; and the Saviour often 
 crossed this valley on his way to Bethany, Olivet, 
 and Gethsemane. The so-called tomb of Absa- 
 lom stands here, but its architecture is of a more 
 recent date than his death. 
 
 The neighboring " Tomb of Zechariah," said 
 to have been built in honor of Zechariah who 
 was slain " between the Temple and the altar," 
 in the reign of Joash (2 Chron. 24: 21), is a

 Its course, alter running i]^ miles nearly south,

 OLIVET OVERLOOKING THE KIDRON. 
 
 Along the whole eastern side of Jerusalem, and separated from it 
 a half mile by the valley of the Kidron, stretches the ridge of Olivet, 
 which rises about two hundred feet higher than Mount Zion. It was, 
 the pleasure-ground of the populace, as well as a defence from assaults 
 on the east. An outlying spur — Scopus — lies on the north of the 
 city; another on the south, called Hill of Evil Counsel. Olivet has 
 four summits, having traditionary names : 1. "The Galilee," from 
 the supposition the angels there said, " Ye men of Galilee " (Acts 1 :

 n); 2. The "Ascension," a doubtful site; 3. The "Prophets," 
 called from a curious catacomb ; 4. The " Mount of Offence." 
 
 " However much oilier sacred localities about the Holy City may 
 have altered in the lapse of ages," remarks Dr. Barclay in his "City 
 of the Great King," "there is no reason to believe that this hallowed 
 mountain has undergone any material change. True, the palm, the 
 cedar, and the sycamine have long since disappeared from its side; 
 but it is still the home of the olive, and its general surface is essen- 
 tially as it was when King David went up its ascent, 'weeping and 
 barefooted,' and when the Son of man sat upon its brow and wept 
 over the devoted city, or ascended on high from one of its summits. 
 'The Divine Majesty,' says Rabbi Janna, 'stood three years and a 
 half on Mount Olivet, saying, Seek ye the Lord while He may 'be 
 found, call on Him while He is near,' What strong testimony in 
 behalf of the Messiah's divinity, from the pen of a Jew !" 
 
 GETHSEMANE. 
 
 The Garden of Gethsemane (" oil-press ") lies between the Kidron 
 and Olivet, some 200 yards beyond Jerusalem. It is a stony plot of 
 ground, 52 yards square, enclosed by a low wall, and yet contains 
 eight ancient olive-trees. Their roots in many places project above 
 the ground, and their hollow trunks are filled with stones to strengthen 
 them. Once it was an open part of the rough hill-side ; but the 
 Franciscan monks have put a garden enclosure about it. "Their

 gnarled trunks and scanty foliage will always be regarded as the 
 most affecting of the sacred memorials in or about Jerusalem; the 
 most nearly approaching to the everlasting hills themselves in the 
 force with which they carry lis back to the events of the Gospel his- 
 tory." Here the Saviour "trod the wine-press alone," and submis- 
 sively prayed in his agony: " Not my will but thine be done." 
 
 Aceldama ("the field of blood ") is located on the steep side of 
 the Hill of Evil Counsel, overlooking the valley of Hinnom. On 
 the hill stands, solitary and wind-beaten, the " tree of Judas." Tra- 
 dition identifies this spot with the Potter's 
 Field, purchased by the Jewish priests with 
 the thirty pieces of silver paid for the be- 
 trayal of our Lord.

 to wash away the clay from his eyes. John 9:7. It is 
 an artificial stone reservoir on the southeast of Jerusalem, 
 at the foot of Zion and Moriah. Its length is fifty feet, 
 width seventeen, and depth eighteen. This basin is never 
 full of water. The second view shows the site of the "lower 
 pool," now cultivated as a garden. "The present pool 
 is a ruin," says Dr. Bonar, " with no moss or ivy to make 
 it romantic; its sides falling in; its pillars broken; its 
 stair a fragment ; its walls giving way ; the edge of every 
 stone worn round or sharp by time ; in some parts mere 
 debris; once Siloam, now, like the city which overhung 
 it, a heap; though around its edges, wild flowers, and, 
 among other plants, the caper-tree, grow luxuriantly." 
 Jewish tradition makes Gihon and Siloam one. Its water 
 is thought to be received, in part, from the reservoirs under 
 the Temple area. 
 
 East of the Kidron, and beyond the gardens watered 
 by Siloam which supply Jerusalem with vegetables, is the 
 poor and dilapidated village of Siloam. The engraving 
 shows the lower part of the Kidron valley, and the "King's 
 Gardens" watered by the Pool, while the highlands of 
 Judah occupy the background. 
 
 Having thus made a circuit of the important places 
 outside of the walls of Jerusalem, we are prepared to take 
 a hasty glance at its interior. The reader should realize 
 the fact that the Jerusalem of to-day is not the Jerusalem 
 of the times of David and Christ. This city has endured 
 more sieges than any other that ever existed, and has been 
 repeatedly levelled to the ground. In some parts, especially on the 
 south and east, the enormous heaps of stone, sewage, and ruins cover

 JERUSALEM. 
 
 but this ravine is now choked up with the accumulations of eighteen 
 centuries of rubbish. The lofty Mount Zion, whereon stood the 
 City of David, is now the Upper City of the Jews. Mount 
 Moriah, on which were formerly the Temple and Tower of 
 g^, Antonia, has now on the same site the Mohammedan sacred 
 
 jjjjp enclosure called Haram-es-Sherif, -containing the Mosque of 
 Omar, and the mosque El-Aksa. From this most beautiful 
 part of the city, Christians were rigorously excluded for 
 centuries. North of Moriah is Akra, the Lower City of Jo- 
 sephus ; and yet further to the north is Bezetha, the Modern 
 City. The Arabs call Jerusalem El Kuds (" The Holy "). 
 Naturally, the site of the Temple has the most interest to 
 Christian students, although so thoroughly has every stone 
 of this structure been removed that the ablest scholars have 
 formed conflicting theories as to its exact location on Mount 
 Moriah. The practical results arrived at by Captain War- 
 ren, R. E., through his scientific excavations at Jerusalem, 
 and just published in "The Recovery of Jerusalem " ( 1871), 
 here coincide materially with the views of Dr. Robinson, 
 Barclay, etc. "The Noble Sanctuary of Jerusalem is a 
 raised plateau, measuring about 1500 feet from north to 
 south, and about 900 feet from east to west ; sustained by a 
 massive wall, rising on the exterior from 50 to 80 feet above 
 the level of the ground ; the general level of this plateau is 
 about 2420 feet, but toward the east, at the Golden Gate, it 
 is not filled up to this level by some twenty feet or so. 
 Almost in the centre of this plateau is an irregular four- 
 sided paved platform, rising some 16 feet above the general 
 level of the plateau ; and above the centre of this platform 
 the Sacred Rock crops out, over which is built the celebrated Dome 
 of the Rock, generally ascribed to the Moslem chief Abd al Melek, 
 but claimed by Mr. Fergusson as the church of Constantine. There 
 is no question but that within the present Noble Sanctuary the 
 Temple of Herod once stood, and that some part of the remaining 
 wall is on the site of, or actually is, a portion of the old wall of the 
 outer court ; but, with regard to its positions, there are the most 
 conflicting opinions. . . . The position, therefore, I suppose to have 
 been occupied by the courts of the Temple of Solomon is a rectangle, 
 900 feet odd from east to west, and 600 feet from north to south, its 
 southern end 300 feet north of the south wall of the Noble Sanctuary. 
 This would suppose the wall at the Wailing Place to be the work of 
 Solomon, or of the kings of Judah, and also the portion of the Sanc- 
 tuary on the eastern side and opposite. . . . The next question 
 which arises is as to the disposition of the portion of the Noble 
 Sanctuary, 900 feet by 300 feet, lying between Solomon's Temple 
 Enclosure and the south wall. A square of 300 feet at the southwest 
 angle I suppose to have been built by King Herod, together with the 
 arch of Robinson and the passage to the Xystus and the Upper City.

 been the site of Solomon's Palace. We have also at the present day 
 
 the name of ' Solomon's

 gle." 
 
 The walls of Jerusalem 
 are now about 2*4 miles in 
 circuit, and average forty 
 feet in height. "The 
 present city," states Dr. 
 Thomson, "has five gates 
 — that at the Tower of 
 David takes the name of 
 Jaffa or Bethlehem, be- 
 cause from it the roads to 
 those places depart ; Da- 
 mascus gate on the north; 
 St. Stephen's on the east ; 
 Babel Mugharabeh, lead- 
 ing down to Siloam ; and 
 the Gate of Zion. There 
 are also two or three old 
 gates, now walled up, as 
 that of Herod on the north- 
 east, and the Golden Gate 
 in the east wall of the 
 Temple area. The archi- 
 tecture of all these en- 
 trances to the Holy City 
 is Saracenic, except the 
 last, which is ancient, and 
 jjjf^f the interior of it orna- 
 mented with rich and elab- 
 orate carving, in good 
 Grecian style. ' ' These are 
 always closed for the night 
 at sundown, to guard 
 against incursions by the 
 thievish Bedouins. 
 
 The gate of Huldah, al- 
 luded to by Josephus and 
 the Talmud, has the char- 
 acteristics of Jewish archi- 
 tecture, although it con- 
 tains Roman additions. It 
 stands in the rear of Aksa, at the junction of the city and Haram 
 walls, and was a gate of entrance into the Court of the Gentiles. 
 
 While the streams of Palestine can be but little relied on for a 
 supply of water, fountains are abundant, and their water is carefully 
 stored in reservoirs for domestic use. The late explorations in Jeru-

 ROYAL CISTERN OF THE TEMPLE. 
 
 salem under the care of the committee of the "Palestine Exploration 
 Fund," show that the ground of the Sanctuary is honey-combed with 
 a series of remarkable rock-hewn cisterns, anciently used to hold the 
 water brought by aqueduct from Solomon's Pool near Bethlehem 
 ("The Holy Land"). One of the most interesting of these cis- 
 
 terns was discovered by the American missionary Dr. Barclay, about 
 fifteen years since, in an exploration he was permitted to make of 
 this sacred Haram enclosure, which covers the site of the Temple — 
 the "Royal Cistern," or subterranean "sea" of the Temple. It is 
 736 feet in circuit, 42 in depth, and its capacity is 2,000,000 gallons. 
 Probably to this refer the words of the Psalmist : "There is a river, 
 the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place 
 of the tabernacles of the Most High." Psa. 46 : 4. 
 
 POOL OF HEZEKIAH. 
 
 Hezekiah's Pool is entirely surrounded by houses, and can be seen 
 from their roofs. Its present length is 252 feet, its breadth 126, and 
 depth 10 feet. It usually holds two to six feet of water, and becomes 
 exhausted in the autumn. 
 
 On the stronghold of Zion, only 600 feet distant from the western 
 cloister of the Temple which stood on the adjacent Mount Moriah, 
 are the premises of the American Christian Mission, a cluster of 
 rudely-constructed houses in the Jews' quarter of the city. On this 
 commanding situation were built the royal palaces of the Davidian, 
 Asmonean, and Herodian dynasties. They had a most delightful 
 prospect. " Only one hundred and fifty yards distant was the gor- 
 geous Temple, ' exceedingly magnifical, and of fame and glory 
 throughout all countries,' crowning Mount Moriah. The deep gorge

 of the Tyropceon, at that time, perhaps, about two hundred feet 
 below the palace, adorned by the magnificent Xystus Porticos \i mch 
 lay below — the towering Castle of Antonia loomed aloft on the north, 
 and on the right were Ophel, Kidron, Siloam, En-Rogel, etc. Im- 
 mediately adjacent on the north was unquestionably situated the 
 'Armory of Solomon,' or 'the House of the Forest of Lebanon,' 
 and just in its rear, in the direction of the Tower of Hippicus, was 
 the ' House of the High Priest. ' The east end of the palace was 
 connected with the Temple by the cyclopean bridge so often men- 
 tioned by Josephus, spanning the Tyropceon, and forming a noble 
 highway between Moriah, the colossal remains of which are still 
 to be seen at its abutment against the Temple wall — the highway or 
 'ascent' of Solomon, so much admired by the Queen of Sheba." 
 
 At the foot of the western wall of the Haram-es-Sherif, built upon 
 the sacred Temple area, the Jews gather, more commonly on Fridays,

 to bewail the desolation of the Holy City, and to pray for the coming 
 of Messiah. For the privilege of meeting here to weep, kiss the 
 
 stones, and pray, they 
 were taxed heavily in 
 former years. The lam- 
 entations of these poor 
 outcasts are sore and 
 heavy. "Be not very 
 wroth, O Lord, neither 
 remember iniquity for 
 ever: behold, see, we 
 beseech thee, we are all 
 thy people. Thy holy 
 cities are a wilderness, 
 Zion is a wilderness, Je- 
 rusalem a desolation. Our 
 holy and our beautiful 
 house, where our fathers 
 praised thee is burned 
 up with fire, and all our 
 pleasant things are laid 
 waste." Isa. 64: 9-1 1. 
 But little doubt exists 
 that these huge stones 
 are a part of the substruc- 
 tion of the outer court 
 of their ancient Temple, 
 although not a single 
 I stone of the Temple itself 
 was left in position, as 
 foretold by Christ. 
 
 A few hundred yards 
 distant is the Via Dolo- 
 rosa, or Sorrowful Way, 
 over which it has been 
 conjectured the Lord Je- 
 sus passed bearing His 
 cross to Calvary. It is an 
 - abutment of the celebrat- 
 ed bridge which reached 
 from Zion to Moriah, 
 across the Tyropceon ra- 
 vine, over 50 feet in 
 width and 350 in length. 
 The span of the arch was 41 feet, and there were probably five or six 
 in all. 
 
 Mr. Catherwood has given an ^interesting account of the exploration 
 
 of Mount Moriah, 
 ion which ancient- 
 stood the Temple 
 d Castle of Anto- 
 a. "The Mosque 
 Omar occupies the

 three hundred and

 the western than the 
 eastern wall, which 
 would allow of deep-

 the Mountof Olives. 
 Under the dome 
 rises the remarkable 
 rock called el-Sak-

 lar in its form, and 
 measures about sixty 
 feet in one direction 
 and fifty in the other.

 It projects about five feet above the marble pi t, and the pave- 
 
 ment of the mosque is tw< Ivi feel above th< ure, making 
 
 this rock rise seventeen above the ground, whereas 1 cannot help 
 thinking that it once formed the foundation of the Holy of Holies of 
 Solomon's Temple. I consider it not improbable that the great 
 platform on which the mosque stands, five hundred feet on ea< h side, 
 may indicate the position of the inner court, which surrounded the 
 Holy of Holies. To recapitulate. I consider it likely that the present 
 area corresponds very nearly with the ancient one : that the fortress 
 and tower of Antonia stood entirely without the present enclosure, 
 
 MOSQUE OF OMAR. 
 
 that the Mosque of Omar occupies the position of the Holy of Holies 
 of Solomon's Temple, and that the Nagara Sakhara was the founda- 
 tion rock on which it stood ; that the arches at the southeast angle, 
 built evidently to make that part of the area level with the rest, are 
 probably of the time of Herod, as I do not suppose arches were in 
 use in the time of Solomon, however far back the mere invention of 
 the arch may go. 
 
 " The springing stones of the arch at the southwest angle, and the 
 Golden Gate, and that under el-Aksa, are probably of the same 
 period. The space of ground between the Via Dolorosa and the 
 area being five hundred and fifty feet long by one hundred at its

 western, and one hundred and sixty at its eastern extremity, appears 
 amply large enough for the fortress of Antonia." 
 
 Josephus states that Antonia, which was originally built by the 
 Maccabees and rebuilt by Herod the Great with great splendor, seemed 
 a city as having every thing necessary within itself, while in magnifi- 
 cence it resembled a palace. Its southeast tower was seventy cubits 
 high, and overlooked the Temple area, with which the fortress was 
 connected by Iwo stairways. From this "castle" the chief Roman 
 captain descended to rescue Paul when assaulted in the Temple by 
 Jews ; and it was upon these stairs that the Apostle spoke his defence 
 to his countrymen in the .Hebrew tongue. Acts 21 ; 22.

 At the southeast corner of the Haram are rock galleries or vaults 
 erected on lofty columns, owing lo the great declination of the hill. 
 The length from east to west is 319 feet ; from north to south varying 
 between 247 and 186 feet. These possess the peculiar features of 
 Jewish architecture, and Dr. Barclay terms them "Solomon's Sta- 
 bles." The same explorer also ascribes the triple-gate piers under 
 El-Aksa to Solomon or his immediate successors, though the vaults 
 
 SUBSTRUCTION SUSTAINING HARAM-ES-SHERIF. 
 
 are apparently more modern. " Large roots of olive-trees have found 
 their way through the northern portion of some of the vaults, where 
 they are but a short distance above the floor ; and slender radical 
 filaments several yards in length are gracefully pendant from many 
 parts of the vaulted ceiling. This is also a favorite haunt for owls, 
 hawks, and ravens." 
 
 Close by the. Wailing Place of the Jews is the Mekhemeh, or 
 council chamber of the Turkish Divan, where the congress of Jeru-

 salem deliberates. This probably occupies the identical site of the 
 council house or chamber of the Jewish Sanhedrim, which was con- 
 nected with the western wall of the Temple by an intervening portico, 
 or by actual junction. According to the Talmud, it was built upon 
 piers or arches, probably to elevate it above the Temple area. 
 
 The lack of ordinary comforts in modern Jerusalem is clearly illus- 
 trated in the statement of an American resident: "There is not in 
 all Jerusalem a single fire-place, and perhaps not half-a-dozen chim-

LIFE OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST; 
 
 COMPRESSING THE VITALLY ESSENTIAL TRUTHS CONNECTED WITH THE PUREST, MOST PERFECT, AND HOLIEST OP 
 LIVES, INTO A CONVENIENT AND DESIRABLE SHAPE FOR EVERY DEVOUT READER. 
 
 " Great is the mystery of godliness : God was manifest in the 
 flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gen- 
 tiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory." i Tim. 3: 
 16. In these few, strong words the Apostle Paul outlines the teach- 
 ings of the Holy Bible. 
 
 The Scriptures only exist to bear witness to Christ. They testify 
 that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, the Word that in the 
 beginning made all things, One with the Father, the Mighty God, 
 the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace, our Lord and 
 God, The Lord Our Righteousness, Immanuel ("God with us") 
 in whom dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. These 
 words mean every thing they declare — or nothing. They came not 
 by man's wisdom; "but holy men of God spake as they were moved 
 by the Holy Ghost." 2 Pet. 1:21. The overwhelming evidence 
 which God's Word gives to the divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ, is 
 shown in "Analysis of the Bible:" Jesus Christ, and particularly 
 by the section, Christ is God. 
 
 The God-Man — "made of the seed of David according to the 
 flesh ; and declared to be the Son of God with power" (Rom. 1 : 3) 
 — is the true view for contemplating and accepting Christ Jesus the 
 Messiah, the "Word that was made flesh and dwelt among us' 1 to 
 be the Mediator between God and men. The divine and the human 
 are so intimately blended in the person of our Redeemer, that to 
 exclude either makes His mission and character fragmentary as well 
 as contradictory. This union of natures is a mystery to our finite 
 minds, unsearchable, and past finding out : " the measure thereof is 
 longer than the earth, and broader than the sea." The All-Wise 
 hides this knowledge of spiritual things from the wise and prudent : 
 "Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in thy sight." Luke 10: 
 21. Yet it is a fact. More than forty times is the title Son of God 
 given to Jesus Christ in the New Testament : twice that often does 
 the Saviour delight to call Himself Son of Man. Preeminently is 
 He the Son — of God, and of Man. To Him alone belong these 
 chief and transcendent qualities; for He is the express image of the 
 Majesty on high, and the living representative of manhood exalted 
 to its original purity in communion and unity with God. Of all 
 beings who ever lived Jesus only was "holy, harmless, undefiled, 
 separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens" (Heb. 7 : 
 
 26), "who did no sin, neither was guile found in His mouth." 
 1 Pet. 2 : 22. Before him as a spotless man even infidels bow the 
 head in veneration. In nature God, by birth man ; Creator of all 
 things, and yet in life poorer than foxes and birds; the True and Holy 
 One, but stooping to dwell with publicans and sinners ; Lord and 
 Master, though despised and rejected of men ; King of kings, yet 
 condemned by rulers of Jews and Gentiles; accursed of God for us, 
 yet the High Priest that ever liveth to make intercession in our 
 behalf — " O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and know- 
 ledge of God ! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways 
 past finding out ! For who hath known the mind of the Lord ? or 
 who hath been his counsellor?" Rom. 11 : ^^, 34. 
 
 The sacrifice of such a Son as an atonement for the sins of the 
 world, seems the strongest attestation the Almighty could give to 
 both the sacred unalterableness of His justice, and the profound love 
 which He bore to dying sinners. This fatherly affection is expressed 
 by a little word of two letters : " God so loved the world that he 
 gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should 
 not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3 : 16) — and yet a life- 
 time of meditation and Christian consecration cannot exhaust these 
 depths of meaning. 
 
 The official character and work of our Lord Jesus as Messiah has 
 three phases, or distinctions : as Prophet, Priest, and King. 
 
 1. Moses — the inspired founder of the Old dispensation, which 
 was "a shadow of good things to come" (Heb. 10: 1) — promised 
 his brethren that God would raise up a Prophet from the midst of 
 Israel like himself, unto whom they should hearken. Deut. 18: 15. 
 At the time decreed of old, Christ Jesus came " to make an end of 
 sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in ever- 
 lasting righteousness." Dan. 9: 24. The types of Levitical ordi- 
 nances were fulfilled in the Gospel of free salvation, and the rigorous 
 ceremonials of worship were at an end. God was now to be wor- 
 shipped in spirit and in truth. John 4 : 24. A greater than all the 
 Prophets of old went among the people, preaching to them the 
 things delivered to Him without measure by the Father. The reve- 
 lations of heavenly things came not to Him " in thoughts from the 
 visions of the night" (Job 4 : 13) ; but His spirit was always in union 
 with the Father. His hand had the might of Jehovah : miracles of

 tenderness lay all about His footsteps, and fallen spirits obeyed the 
 voice of the Holy One of God. Yet greater than these acts of mercy 
 were His words of wisdom surpassing that of the sons of men ; and 
 beyond all were His unutterable depths of love to poor humanity, 
 unspoken, yet overflowing in every page of the sacred narratives. 
 The world could easier spare all other books than the four soul-in- 
 spiring Gospels that tell of the teachings and life of "Jesus the 
 prophet of Nazareth of Galilee" (Matt. 21: 11), who "went about 
 doing good.'' Acts 10: 38. In Him prophecy met its chief fulfil- 
 ment; and ere He departed from His own, He foretold the beginning 
 of the end in the overthrowal of the Jewish dispensation. His dis- 
 ciples were instructed to teach the glad tidings of salvation until Hi.s 
 second coming ; and their successors are proving true His words in 
 these our days, eighteen centuries after they were spoken: "And this 
 gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world, for a 
 witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come." Matt. 
 24: 14. 
 
 2. After the power of an endless life and called of God, as the 
 Lord sware, Christ was made a Priest for ever after the similitude of 
 Melchisedec. Heb. 5; 7. "The Father sent the Son to be the 
 Saviour of the world" (1 John 4: 14); and having poured. out His 
 soul unto death (Isa. 53 : 12), and given his own life as a ransom for 
 many (Matt. 20 : 28), Christ Jesus ascended up on high, 
 the conqueror of death and hell. Rev. 1:18. By this 
 sacrifice of Himself as the Lamb of God, His blood be- 
 came an atonement for the sins of the whole world. Rom. 
 5 : 9. 1 John 1 : 7. Fulfilling in His own holy offering 
 all the foreshadowings and sacrifices of the Levitical 
 priesthood ("Jewish Worship"), "by His own blood He 
 entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eter- 
 nal redemption for us." Fleb. 9: 12. In the Epistle to 
 the Flebrews, the Apostle, having proved and explained 
 the unchangeable High Priesthood of our Lord, rises to 
 that sublime height of faith to which it is the privilege of 
 every mortal to attain, and exclaims: "Wherefore He is 
 able also to save them unto the uttermost that come unto 
 God by Him, seeing He ever liveth to make. intercession 
 for them." Heb. 7: 25. 
 
 3. "King of kings and Lord of lords" is the name 
 of Jesus Christ the faithful witness. Rev. 19: 16. The 
 prophet foresaw His everlasting dominion, glory, and 
 kingdom which shall not pass away, wherein all people, 
 nations, and languages shall serve Him. Dan. 7: 14. As 
 head of the church (Eph. 5 : 23), He has already spiritual 
 
 dominion over almost the whole earth. In every land the incense of 
 prayer is offered unto His name, and a pure offering. Mai. 1: it. 
 Mis subjects arc they who have washed their robes in the blood of 
 the Lamb, and live in consecrated allegiance to the Lord of All. 
 " God hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name which is 
 above every name : that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, 
 of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 
 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to 
 the glory of God the Father." Phil. 2: 9-1 1. Isa. 45: 23. Rom. 
 14: 11. 
 
 The incarnation of Christ our Saviour* — the birth of the God-man 
 of a virgin mother — is, and will always continue to be, a wonder 
 past understanding, to be accepted by faith. The Lord of hosts 
 emptied Himself of His glory and stooped to be born of the seed 
 of a woman that He might bruise the serpent's head. A lowly town 
 of Judah was His birthplace, and His lot was cast all His life with 
 the very poor. He shared the toils, cares, and disappointments of 
 the poverty-stricken ; yet He never murmured, fulfilled all His duties, 
 and took every opportunity to lighten the burdens of those He met. 
 Almightiness thus taught us, in the tenderest and most attractive 
 form, a lesson of humility, content, sympathy, and the good of

 living for others. Indeed, the entire life 
 of Jesus was one of self-forgetfulness — the 
 highest type of manhood. Possessing the 
 power of changing the laws of nature, and 
 of moulding all things obedient to His own 
 will, not a single miracle was wrought for 
 Himself, but all were acts of mercy to suf- 
 fering petitioners, and emblems of spiritual 
 redemption from sin. His heart was full 
 of love to God and to man ; and He re- 
 joiced to lay down His life that mortals 
 might be drawn by the power of His cross 
 to renew their allegiance to the Father. 
 
 The childhood, youth, and early man- 
 hood of Jesus were spent in the obscure 
 but picturesque village of Nazareth, so un- 
 important that it is not named in the Old 
 Testament or by Josephus. Yet this Jew- 
 ish historian describes this district of Gal- 
 ilee as a paradise in beauty and fertility, 
 with two hundred populous towns and vil- 
 lages. From His earliest years, our Lord 
 must have been impressed by the loveliness 
 of the adjoining hills and valleys. Climb-

 ing the heights that encircled His home, the far-stretching plain of 
 Esdraelon and the dome-like mount of Tabor ever met His eyes. A 
 little beyond the latter rolled the blue waves of Galilee, from whose 
 
 SEA OF GALILEE. 
 
 placid shores in after years He called humble disciples to be fishers 
 of men. Whether He wandered as a boy over its shelly beach is 
 unknown, though the Scriptures show His soul was instinct with love 
 for all the beauties of nature. But it is recorded — He was subject 
 unto His parents. He increased in wisdom and in stature, and in 
 
 favor with God and man. Luke 2: 51, 52. F.ven as He honored 
 [oseph and Mary, so are children commanded to give love and rev- 
 erence to father and mother, who have cherished them from helpless 
 infancy, that their days may be long upon the land which God giveth 
 them. 
 
 In His thirtieth year, our Lord entered on His ministry of seeking 
 the lost sheep of the house of Israel. His journey from Nazareth in 
 Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized of John, was the opening of 
 that series of missionary tours which ended only at His death. On 
 foot, regardless of fatigue, hardship, and hard-hearted rejection, for 
 nearly four years He travelled through all the districts of Palestine, 
 from the southern borders of the hill country of Judea to the far-off 
 coasts of Sidon, and across the Sea of Galilee to the regions of Iturea 
 and Perea. 
 
 Sinless, holy, and the beloved Son of God in whom the Father 
 was well pleased (Matt. 3 : 13-17), Jesus Christ needed not the bap- 
 tism of John for the spiritual washing away of sins. This act, by 
 the descent of the Holy Ghost and the approving voice of the Father, 
 publicly manifested Him as the divinely commissioned Messiah. By 
 Christ's command, it became a sacrament, full of heavenly truth 
 and consolation, initiatory to the fold of His Church. "We are 
 buried with Him by baptism into death ; that like as Christ was raised 
 up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should 
 walk in newness of life." Rom. 6 : 4. 
 
 After His triumphs over the temptations of Satan in the wilderness 
 and at the Temple in Jerusalem, the journey of Jesus (third on the 
 map) was doubtless continued through Bethabara west of the Jordan 
 — where he called John, Simon Peter, Philip, and Nathanael as dis- 
 ciples — and by way of JEnon into Galilee, where he attended the 
 marriage at Cana. John 1: 19.. 2: 12. After dwelling not many 
 days at Capernaum, He "went up to Jerusalem" to attend His first 
 recorded Passover since childhood : perhaps by the westward route 
 marked John 2:18, for no places of note are recorded. As in other 
 instances, only four simple words are given to a wearisome travel of 
 seventy miles, in all likelihood made on foot by the poor and despised 
 Nazarene prophet. Our Lord's talk by night with Nicodemus (John 
 
 3 : 1-21) — a single verse of which (16), Luther because of its exceed- 
 ing comprehensiveness termed " the little Gospel" — may be taken 
 as the termination of this first series of travels, occupying nearly a 
 year, and which may reverently be called introductory to His active 
 labors as a Preacher of the kingdom of God. 
 
 From the First to the Second Passover was another year. Having 
 traversed the "hill country" ("the land of Judea," John 3: 22), 
 tarrying to baptize while John was far to the north (" in ^Enon near 
 to Salim"), Jesus departed into Galilee on hearing that John was 
 cast into prison. Matt. 4: 12. "And He must needs go through 
 Samaria. ' ' John 4. After resting at Cana of Galilee, He passed to 
 His native Nazareth only to be thrust out wrathfully, and then made 
 His abode at Capernaum, by the Lake of Gennesaret. Here Peter, 
 Andrew, John, and James were called to forsake all and follow Him. 
 Thence Jesus made His first circuit about Galilee, teaching, preach- 
 ing, and healing, so that His fame went throughout all Syria. Matt. 
 
 4 : 23-25. "After this there was a feast of the Jews : and Jesus went 
 up to Jerusalem" (John 5 : 1), to the Second Passover. 
 
 The eighteen months which succeeded this Passover were spent by 
 our Lord in Galilee. From Capernaum He made several circuits of 
 "Galilee of the Gentiles," unto the coasts of Tyre and Sidon in 
 Phoenicia, and across the Sea of Galilee through the territory of 
 Iturea and part of Perea. His various miracles and parables are 
 noted in the Harmony of the Gospels. With its earlier period is 
 identified the Mount of Beatitudes, as the probable scene of the 
 Sermon on the Mount. Near its close Mount Hermon, in the region 
 of Cesarea Philippi, is associated with the Transfiguration of the 
 Lord Jesus. This undeniable witness of the Law, the Prophets, and 
 the Father to the perfection of the God-man, is only (if at all) 
 inferior in wonderfulness and authority to the Incarnation, Baptism, 
 Resurrection, and Ascension, of which it is the connecting link. It 
 was given just before Jesus, leaving Galilee the last time, "steadsfatly 
 set His face to go to Jerusalem," by way of Samaria. " Luke 9 : 51. 
 
 From the Feast of Tabernacles at Jerusalem till the Fourth and 
 last Passover of our Lord, six months elapsed. Jerusalem was the 
 scene of His testimony till the Jews sought to stone Him for declaring 
 Himself one with God, whereupon He retired beyond Jordan to 
 Bethabara, where John had baptized. John 10: 22-42. Perea was 
 now evangelized by our Lord — excepting His hasty visit to Bethany 
 for the raising of Lazarus from the dead — till by way of Jericho and

 Bethany He reentered Jerusalem as the Prince of Peace. Here, 
 after the solemn Paschal feast on the last night of His life, Jesus 
 ordained the sacrament of the Lord's Supper, to be kept in remem- 
 brance of Him "till He come." i Cor. u : 23-26. Thus, by His 
 sanction and command, Baptism and the Holy Communion have ever 
 remained the sacraments and safeguards of the Christian Church. 
 
 bought us with the price of His own precious blood, and we are not 
 our own. He asks of us the voluntary and entire consecration of 
 body, soul, and spirit to God, and that we love our neighbor as our- 
 selves. Three adversaries are to be conquered : the flesh, and its 
 lusts ; the world, which tempts to all forms of selfishness ; and the 
 devil, who seeks to be worshipped in the place of the Almighty.

 t MOUNT OF ASCENSION. 
 
 The Gospels narrate the arrest, trial, condemnation, 
 and crucifixion of the Lord Jesus with a simplicity 
 affecting and eloquent. He who was the true witness, 
 with power to lay down His life and to take it up 
 again, in immediate prospect of death proclaimed to 
 His foes that He was the Christ the Son of God, 
 knowing that these words would be the pretext for His 
 condemnation. And the amazed centurion with those 
 who watched by His cross was compelled to exclaim 
 when Jesus yielded up the ghost, "Truly this was the 
 Son of God." Matt. 27 : 54. Emphatically, and as the corner-stone 
 of Christianity, by His Resurrection from the dead and Ascension 
 into heaven Jesus Christ was " declared to be the Son of God with 
 power, according to the Spirit of holiness." Rom. 1:4. As He 
 promised while with His disciples — Lifted up from the earth, He 
 draws all men unto Him. John 12 : 32.

 therewith, the truths that will enable him to rise infinitely higher

 In brief, Self is to be abased and God exalted. This is the germ of 
 the teaching, life, and death of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is to be 
 attained only by the grace of God, through the redemption by our 
 Saviour, and the indwelling of the Holy Ghost. Unreserved conse- 
 cration to the service of God is the lesson taught by The Widow's 
 Mite : " She of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her 
 living." Mark 12: 44. 
 
 In conclusion, after representing the Mount of Ascension, it may

 be well to add a few words in regard to Olivet, or Mount of Olives. 
 It is a ridge running along the east side of Jerusalem, having three 
 prominent summits. The southernmost is known as the " Mount 
 of Offence." The central summit rises two hundred feet above 
 Jerusalem, and presents a fine view of the city. Over this our 
 Saviour often climbed. Gethsemane lay at its foot on the west, 
 and Bethany on the east. It was probably near Bethany, and not 
 on the middle summit, that our Lord ascended. 
 
MISSIONARY JOURNEYS OF THE APOSTLE PAUL; 
 
 IN WHICH WE CATCH USEFUL GLIMPSES OF THE MANY TOILS, PERILS, TRIALS, SUFFERINGS, AND WONDERFUL 
 ACTS OF ONE OF THE ABLEST DEFENDERS AND UNFOLDERS OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH. 
 
 The Apostle Paul was emphatically "the minister of Jesus Christ to 
 the Gentiles, ministering the Gospel of God, that the offering up of 
 the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy 
 Ghost." Rom. 15: 16. This "chosen vessel" of the Lord Jesus 
 was peculiarly separated by character and condition from the other 
 disciples, and thus qualified, in God's wisdom, for the world-wide 
 field of his labors. Although not below the chiefest of the apostles, 
 his birth-place alone was beyond the limits of the Holy Land. 
 
 Paul was a Grecian Jew by birth, of the tribe of Benjamin. His 
 parents lived in Tarsus, the cultured metropolis of Cilicia, 308 miles 
 north by west of Jerusalem. He was also "free-born," a possessor of 
 the privileges of Roman citizenship, probably because of military 
 services by his father. "A Pharisee, the. son of a Pharisee," he was 
 brought up in Jerusalem' at the feet of the rabbi Gamaliel, "a doctor 
 of the law, had in reputation among all the people." Acts 5: 34- 
 39. He was " taught according to the perfect manner of the law of 
 the fathers" (Acts 22: 3); hence in his youth he held tenaciously the 
 traditions which the Pharisees exalted above the Scriptures. Thus 
 was reared to manhood a bitter but conscientious persecutor of the 
 early Christians of Palestine — a leader who stood by at the stoning of 
 the first martyr, Stephen ; yet one who, when smitten and regenerated 
 in spirit by the might of God, was to become the largest-hearted and 
 most zealous missionary of the Gospel, first in intellect and culture. 
 Tireless, unselfish, with his soul overflowing with love to God and 
 man, he bore to the western Gentiles the glad tidings of salvation 
 "without money and without price." He feared neither labors, 
 stripes, stonings, imprisonments, nor perils by water, robbers, and 
 treachery of enemies. When persecuted in one city he fled into another, 
 enduring without complaint weariness, hunger and thirst, cold and 
 nakedness. Though burdened with the care of all the churches, he 
 labored with his own hands that he might not be a charge to the 
 brethren. For over thirty years he lived to know nothing "save 
 Jesus Christ and him crucified," preaching that Christ was the Son of 
 God from his first standing forth in Damascus as a convert (Acts 9 : 
 20), till his last words bore testimony of our Lord Jesus, and exhorted 
 Timothy to be a "partaker of the afflictions of the gospel " (2 Tim. 
 1 : 8). He traversed and evangelized many districts, founded 
 churches, wrote epistles of comfort and instruction which have 
 cheered the hearts of countless multitudes for eighteen centuries, and 
 
 travelled thousands of miles, mainly on foot, to teach these tidings 
 of redemption. 
 
 The Acts of the Apostles and his Epistles mutually combine toge- 
 ther to narrate Paul's life and illustrate his character. In them, states 
 Rev. L. Davies, " we perceive the warmth and ardor of his nature, 
 his deeply affectionate disposition, the tenderness of his sense of 
 honor, the courtesy and personal dignity of his bearing, his perfect 
 fearlessness, his heroic endurance ; we perceive the rare combination 
 
 of subtlety, tenacity, and versatility 
 in his intellect ; we perceive also a 
 practical wisdom which we should 
 have associated with a cooler tem- 
 perament, and a tolerance which is 
 seldom united with such impetuous 
 convictions. And the principle 
 which harmonized all these endow- 
 ments, and directed them to a prac- 
 tical end was, beyond dispute, a 
 knowledge of Jesus Christ in the 
 Divine Spirit. Personal allegiance 
 to Christ as to a living Master, with 
 a growing insight into the relation 
 of Christ to each man and to the 
 world, carried the Apostle forward 
 on a straight course through every 
 vicissitude of personal fortunes, and 
 amid the various habits of thought 
 which he had to encounter. The 
 conviction that he had been entrusted 
 with a Gospel concerning a Lord 
 and Deliverer of men was what 
 sustained him and purified his love 
 for his own people, while it created 
 in him such a love for mankind that 
 he only knew himself as a servant of 
 others for Christ's sake." 
 
 The only dates in the life of Paul 
 which are of sure authority are two: his second visit to Jerusalem, 
 with Barnabas, about the time of the death of Herod Agrippa I., A. D. 
 45 (Acts 12) ; his judgment by Festus, who succeeded Felix in Judea, 
 A. D. 60 (Acts 24: 27), and sent Paul to Rome in the autumn of 
 that year. By the aid of these events and incidental allusions in the 
 Epistles, the leading occurrences in the Apostle's life have been 
 assigned as near to exactness by scholars as is necessary for our in- 
 struction. Dr. Howson's scheme is here accepted as a standard, and 
 has been used in the article on "Books of the New Testament." 
 The three great missionary journeys of Paul are numbered third, 
 fourth, and fifth on the accompanying map of his voyages and travels. 
 His minor journeys to and from Jerusalem may also be profitably 
 considered in chronological connection. 
 
 After Paul's wonderful conversion, A. D. 36 — a first-fruits of the 
 death of Stephen, for the blood of the martyrs is truly the seed of 
 the church — he spent certain days preaching Jesus as the Messiah in 
 the synagogues of Damascus. Acts 9: 19, 20. From thence, he 
 states, "I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus." 
 Gal. 1:17. Whether he labored in the villages of Perea, or retired 
 into the wilderness like the Great Master before him, to commune in 
 solitude with God before entering on his life-toil, is not related and 
 cannot be known. After many days the Jews of the Syrian city took 
 counsel to kill him, so that he was compelled to escape by night, and 
 was thus led to make his first visit to Jerusalem as a Christian (A. D. 
 38). He who had gone forth two years before a persecuting Jew, 
 high in authority, and probably a member of the Sanhedrim — for he 
 gave his voice (vote) against the saints when they were put to death 
 (Acts 26: 10) — now returned to his countrymen an outcast viler than 
 the leper, a forsaker of their religion, while even the disciples of 
 Jesus were afraid of him and thought him a hypocrite. But Barnabas 
 befriended him, and Paul so boldly preached Christ crucified that

 the Jews sought to murder him to silence his words of power. Acts 
 9: 26-30. Falling in a trance while praying in the Temple, he saw 
 the Lord Jesus, who said unto him, "Depart: for I will send thee 
 far hence unto the Gentiles." Acts 22 : 17-21. Fifteen days only 
 was he suffered to see Peter and to dwell with him (Gal. 1 : 18), ere 
 the brethren "brought him down to Cesarea, and sent him forth to 
 Tarsus. ' ' 
 
 This second tour of Paul, from Jerusalem to Tarsus, was doubtless 
 made overland, as he states : "Afterwards I came into the regions of 
 Syria and Cilicia." Gal. 1: 21. During the six years following he 
 lived and proclaimed the Gospel to all near the city of his birth, 
 while Peter was taught in Joppa and Cesarea that "God is no re- 
 specter of persons," but accepts "in every nation he that feareth Him 
 and worketh righteousness." Thus "the churches of Judea which 
 were in Christ" had cause to glorify God for two blessings: "Then 
 hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life" (Acts n : 
 18); and "He which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the 
 faith which once he destroyed." Gal. 1 : 23. 
 
 A. D. 44, Paul was brought from Tarsus to Antioch, for many con- 
 verts were there being gathered into the fold of Christ: "And the 
 disciples were called Christians first in Antioch." Acts n : 19—26. 
 A staunch friend, "a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost," a 
 Levite of Cyprus, named Joses, but known as Barnabas ("son of 
 consolation "), was the instrument of God to call Paul to this wider 
 field of labor. After a year's ministry in this populous city came 
 the second visit of the Apostle to Jerusalem, in company with Bar- 
 nabas, to bear relief to the suffering brethren in Judea. Acts 1 1 : 
 2 7-30. Josephus confirms the fact that in the fourth year of Clau- 
 dias a famine so severe prevailed that great numbers perished. About 
 this time James the brother of John was beheaded by Herod Agrippa 
 I., and soon after this wicked king was " eaten of worms " in Cesarea. 
 When the Apostles returned to Antioch, they "took with them John, 
 whose surname was Mark," and who, while the companion of Peter 
 at Rome almost twenty years later, wrote the second of the Gospels. 
 The remaining half of the book of Acts is devoted entirely to the 
 travels and labors of the Apostle of the Gentiles. 
 
 The "First Missionary journey " of Paul extended from Antioch 
 to Cyprus, Antioch in Pisidia, Iconium, Lystra, Derbe, and back to 
 Antioch, A. D. 48-9. The commission was given by the Holy 
 Ghost, and included Barnabas, while Mark accompanied them as far 
 as Perga in Pamphylia. It is noticeable that from this time the name 
 Paul is substituted for Saul in the inspired record, and that he takes 
 precedence of Barnabas. Acts 13 and 14 narrate with vividness the 
 incidents of the tour, and need but little illustration. 
 
 Salamis, in the island of Cyprus, the residence of Barnabas' kins- 
 men, was a large city in a fertile plain by the sea-shore, having an 
 excellent harbor. Like all other important depots of trade, it con- 
 tained many Jews, and also synagogues. Paphos, a hundred miles 
 westward, was probably reached by a well-built road of the Romans. 
 Here dwelt the deputy or proconsul, and here Paul inflicted his single 
 miracle of punishment upon Elymas the sorcerer. Pamphylia and 
 Pisidia probably attracted the Apostles because lying immediately 
 adjacent to the province of Cilicia, with which Paul was as intimately 
 acquainted as Barnabas with Cyprus. Perhaps the short stay of the 
 Apostles at Perga — which lay in a broad valley near the coast, shut 
 in by high hills — was owing to their arrival near the end of spring, 
 when the people were always accustomed to retire to the cool high- 
 land plateaus of the Taurus mountains. It was doubtless in their 
 long journey to Antioch that "the perils of robbers" were encoun- 
 tered at the hands of the mountaineers of Pisidia, proverbially rude 
 and lawless, while the sudden flooding of the torrent-beds gave rise 
 to imminent "perils of rivers." Antioch, a Roman colony, lay 
 midway on the direct road of commerce and conquest between 
 Smyrna, Ephesus, and Tarsus. The Gentile population of Greeks, 
 Romans, and Pisidians exceeded the Jews in number; but the latter 
 bigots, provoked that salvation should be preached to any but them- 
 selves, were influential enough to have the Apostles driven away. Paul 
 and Barnabas removed to Iconium, a city of like character, where 
 the same scene of persecution was reenacted. The wild, sheep- 
 herding plains of Lycaonia received these fugitives of the Gospel, 
 whom its native dwellers, rude and superstitious, first hailed as gods, 
 and afterwards stoned. (" Idols and Idolatry.") In this cruel city 
 of Lystra lived Timothy (Acts 16: 1), Paul's "own son in the faith" 
 
 (1 Tim. 1 : 2), who was a witness of the "persecutions and afflic- 
 tions which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra." 2 
 Tim. 3: 11. Having travelled a few hours beyond to Derbe and 
 evangelized that neighborhood, the Apostles retraced their steps 
 through these towns, "confirming the souls of the disciples," and 
 set sail from the seaport of Attalia in Pamphylia for Antioch in Syria. 
 
 After a year's ministry among the brethren of Antioch, Paul's 
 third visit to Jerusalem, to attend the Christian Council, was made, 
 A. D. 50, in company with Barnabas and Titus. The bitter juda- 
 izing spirit which proscribed Gentile converts and thus gave rise to 
 this first general conference, is illustrated in Paul's later Epistles to 
 the Corinthians, Galatians, Colossians, and Timothy ("Books 
 of the Nfw Testament"). Acts 15 : 1-35, and Gal. 2, relate the 
 fraternal results and consolation afforded. 
 
 The "Second Missionary journey " of Paul — much greater in ex- 
 tent than the preceding, and memorable for introducing the Gospel 
 into Europe — extended from Antioch through Cilicia, Lycaonia, and 
 the northern districts of Asia Minor into Macedonia and Achaia, 
 returning by sail from Cenchrea, the port of Corinth, to Cesarea, 
 A. D. 51-4. Silas ("Silvanus, a faithful brother," 1 Pet. 5: 12), 
 was his chief companion. Acts 15 : 22; 16: 19; 17: 4. Timothy 
 was added at Lystra, being first circumcised because the son of a 
 Jewess. Acts 16: 1-3; 17: 14. Luke evidently accompanied them 
 from Troas to Philippi, as shown by the personal form of the narra- 
 tive (Acts 16: 10.. 17: 1); and rejoined them at Miletus on their 
 return. Acts 21:1. Nearly three chapters are devoted to the nar- 
 rative of this journey (Acts 16. .18 : 22) ; and the two Epistles to the 
 Thessalonians were written from Corinth in its progress, A. D. 
 52-3. See also "Countries and Nations of the Bible," with 
 " Books of the New Testament:" Galatians, Philippians, Cor- 
 inthians. Paul's fourth visit to Jerusalem at Pentecost, A. D. 54, 
 was unmarked by incident, and his return to Antioch must have been 
 speedy. 
 
 The " Third Missionary journey " of Paul was his last visit to the 
 congregations he had founded, and to new fields ripening for the 
 Gospel harvest, A. D. 54-8. Antioch was again his starting-point, 
 and Timothy was probably his constant companion. His way lay 
 through Syria, Cappadocia, Galatia, Phrygia, and the province of 
 "Asia" to Ephesus, where he labored three years (Acts 18: 23. .20: 
 1), and wrote I Corinthians shortly before departing, A. D. 57. 
 Passing into Macedonia, he despatched II Corinthians just before 
 his visit to that Grecian metropolis. Having " fully preached the 
 gospel of Christ round about unto Illyricum " (Rom. 15: 19), he 
 entered Greece and hastened to Corinth to punish the disobedient, 
 as he had warned them. 2 Cor. 13 : 2. Here were written Gala- 
 tians, in the winter of A. D. 57, and Romans, early in A. D. 58, 
 the latter just before his return overland to Philippi (where Luke re- 
 joined him), and hence by sea, stopping at the ports of Asia Minor. 
 The Apostle steadfastly set his face towards the city of Zion, although 
 the Holy Ghost in every city witnessed that bonds and afflictions 
 awaited him. Acts 20 ; 21. Thus was made the Apostle's fifth and 
 last visit to Jerusalem. 
 
 The arrest of Paul at Jerusalem, and his two years' imprisonment 
 at Cesarea, followed by his journey in custody to Rome, and deten- 
 tion in that metropolis of the world two years, awaiting the result of 
 his appeal to Caesar — the brutal Emperor Nero — from the corrupt 
 judgments of Felix, Festus, and Herod Agrippa II., circumscribed 
 the active labors of the Apostle, and compelled that great heart to 
 beat patiently. Acts 21 : 15.. 28. The four Epistles to Philemon, 
 Colossians, Ephesians, and Philippians were written at Rome, A. D. 
 62, at the close of the inspired narrative of his labors. They throw 
 much light upon the purpose and effects of his "Third Missionary 
 journey." Paul was released the following year, according to the 
 view now generally received. He probably visited Spain, Asia 
 Minor, Macedonia, and Ephesus, and also wrote Hebrews, Timothy, 
 and Titus, before his second imprisonment at Rome, A. D. 66 or 68. 
 Shortly after the writing of II Timothy, according to the ancient 
 and universal tradition, the great Apostle of the Gentiles was be- 
 headed, and probably just before the death of Nero, which occurred 
 in June, A. D. 68. 
 
 Of Paul a truer epitaph cannot be written than is given in his own 
 words: "For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain."

 Purposes of God 
 in Prophecy. 
 
 From the beginning of time, 
 God "spake by the mouth of 
 the holy prophets which have 
 been since the world began" 
 (Luke 1: 70), showing "the 
 things that are coming and shall 
 come." Isa. 44: 7. " Pro- 
 phecy came not in old time by 
 the will of man : but holy men 
 of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost." To these 
 foretellings we are to take the same watchful heed " as unto a light 
 that shineth in a dark place, until the day shine, and the day star 
 arise in our hearts." 2 Pet. 1: 19,21. If the doubter of Christian 
 truth who, through ignorance or prejudice, rejects the covenant 
 mercies of God in our Redeemer Christ Jesus, would honestly follow 
 the injunction of the apostle, and note the exact and wonderful ful- 
 filment of predictions hundreds of years after they were delivered 
 by inspired men, his doubts would be dissolved forever, and his 
 eyes long blinded would be opened to see spiritual things. 
 
 The leading purpose of God in thus revealing the future to mortals 
 
 was evidently to prepare the way for the advent of Immanuel, the 
 ?rince of Peace, who was to save His people from their sins. 
 
 Forty centuries elapsed between the first promise of the Messiah 
 n the curse of the Lord God upon the serpent — " I will put enmity 
 between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed ; it 
 shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel " — and its fulfil- 
 ment upon Mount Calvary, when the crucified Jesus said, "It is 
 finished," and gave up the ghost. Intermediately were given many 
 foreshadowings of the Messiah, narrowing and making clearer the 
 germ prediction. The line of descent was limited. '• To Abraham 
 and his seed were the promises made." " In Isaac shall thy seed be 
 called." " I will raise unto David a righteous Branch." The exact 
 time of his coming was designated. " The scep'.re shall not depart 
 from Judah . . . till Shiloh come." The sovereignty of Judea over 
 all Palestine expired in the death of king Herod the Great, within 
 two years af:er the birth of the Saviour. His son Archelaus received 
 the mere rank of Ethnarch (governor), but was deposed, and Judea 
 reduced to a Roman province scarcely a year before the child Jesus, 
 then twelve years old, reasoned with the doctors in the Temple — thus 
 al o partially fulfilling the words of H tggai : "The Desire of all 
 nations shall come, and I will fill this house with glory : and in this 
 place will I give peace, saith the Lord of hosts." And the cutting 
 off of the Messiah was exactly 490 years, the seventy prophetic weeks 
 of Daniel, after the rebuilding of Jerusalem ("Books of the Old 
 Testament:" Daniel). His birthplace, forerunner, character, 
 ministry, rejection, betrayal, sufferings, peculiar and unusual death, 
 resurrection, ascension, and establishment of His Church, are won- 
 derf illy illustrated in the words of Scripture, showing the perfect 
 accomplishments of God's will as revealed in a hundred predictions, 
 not one of which had been delivered less than four hundred years 
 before (" Bible Analysis : " Prophecies About Jesus Christ and 
 Their Fulfilment). For their clear comprehension the reader need

ILLUSTRATED CYCLOPEDIA OF THE BIBLE. 
 
 only bear in mind the very different periods, ranging over sixteen hun- 
 dred years, at which the individual books of the Bible were written. 
 
 In addition to the prophecies which peculiarly relate to Jesus 
 Christ the Messiah, His mediatorial work and kingdom, many pre- 
 dictions were given by the prophets in reference to Israel, its repre- 
 sentative men, and the'nations which oppressed this chosen emblem of 
 God's people. As far as the proofs of these prefigurings are clearly 
 contained in the Bible, the leading ones may now be profitably con- 
 sidered, many being here omitted which have their fulfilments 
 following speedily. 
 
 Israel in Egypt (B. C. 1921). — Now the Lord had said unto 
 Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and 
 from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: and I will 
 make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy 
 name great ; and thou shalt be a blessing. Gen. 12 : 1,2. (B. C. 
 191 3.) And he said unto Abraham, Know of a surety 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 ; and also that nation, 
 whom they shall serve, will I judge : and afterward shall they come 
 out with great substance. Gen. 15 : 13, 14. — Fulfilment (B. C. 1491). 
 And it came to pass 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 their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage. 
 Exod. 2 : 23. And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, 
 that they might send them out of the land in haste ; for they said, 
 We be all dead men. And the Lord gave the people favor in the 
 sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they 
 required : and they spoiled the Egyptians. Now the sojourning of 
 the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and 
 thirty years. Exod. 12: 33,36,40. (B.C. 1427.) 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 not one thing hath failed of all 
 the good things which the Lord your God spake concerning you ; 
 all are come to pass unto you, and not one thing hath failed thereof. 
 Josh. 23: 14. 
 
 Dream of Joseph (B. C. 1729). — And Joseph dreamed a dream, 
 and he told it his brethren : and they hated him yet the more. . . . 
 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. Gen. 37 : 5, 7. — Fulfilment 
 (B. C. 1707). And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy corn in 
 Egypt. 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 bowed down themselves before him with their faces to the earth. 
 Gen. 42 : 3, 6. 
 
 Blessing of Caleb and Joshua (B. C. 1490). — Surely they shall not 
 see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of 
 them that provoked me see it : but my servant Caleb, because he had 
 another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring 
 into the land whereinto he went ; and his seed shall possess it. . . . 
 Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun. Num. 14: 
 23, 24, 30. — Fulfilment (B. C. 1444). Then the children of Judah 
 came unto Joshua in Gilgal, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the 
 Kenezite said unto him, And now, behold, the Lord hath kept me 
 alive, as he said, these forty and five years, even since the Lord spake 
 this word unto Moses, while the children of Israel wandered in the 
 wilderness : and now, lo, I am this day fourscore and five years old. 
 And Joshua blessed him, and gave unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh 
 Hebron for an inheritance. Josh. 14: 10, 13. 
 
 Builder of Jericho Cursed (B. C. 145 1). — And Joshua adjured 
 them at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before the Lord, that 
 riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho : he shall lay the foundation 
 thereof in his first-born, and in his youngest son shall he set up the 
 gates of it. Josh. 6: 26. — Fulfilment (B. C. 918). In his days did 
 Hiel the Beth-elite build Jericho : he laid the foundation thereof in 
 Abiram his first-born, and set up the gates thereof in his youngest 
 son Segub, according to the word of the Lord, which he spake by 
 Joshua the son of Nun. 1 Kings 16: 34. 
 
 The House of Eli (B. C. 1 165). —And this shall be a sign unto 
 thee, that shall come upon thy two sons, on Hophni and Phineas : in 
 one day they shall die both of them. . . . And it shall come to pass, 
 that every one that is left in thine house shall come and crouch to 
 him for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread, and shall say, Put 
 me, I pray thee, into one of the priest's offices, that I may eat a piece 
 of bread. 1 Sam. 2: 34, 36. — Fulfilment (B. C. 1141). And the 
 Philistines fought, and Israel was smitten. And the ark of God was , 
 
 taken ; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phineas, were slain. 
 1 Sam. 4: 11. (B. C. 1014.) So Solomon thrust out Abiathar from 
 being priest unto the Lord ; that he might fulfil the word of the 
 Lord, which he spake concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh. 
 1 Kings 2 : 27. 
 
 Death of Saul (B. C. 1055). — And Samuel said to Saul . . . 
 Moreover the Lord will also deliver Israel with thee into the hand 
 of the Philistines : and to-morrow shalt thou and thy sons be with 
 me : the Lord also shall deliver the host of Israel into the hand of 
 the Philistines. 1 Sam. 28: 19. — Fulfilment. And the Philistines 
 followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons : and the Philistines slew 
 Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Melchishua, Saul's sons. ... So Saul 
 died, and his three sons, and his armor-bearer, and all his men, that 
 same day together. 1 Sam. 31 : 2, 6. 
 
 Overthrow of Idolatry by josiah (B. C. 974). — And, behold, there 
 came a man of God out of Judah by the word of the Lord unto 
 Beth-el : and Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense. And he 
 cried against the altar in the word of the Lord, and said, O altar, 
 altar, thus saith the Lord ; Behold, a child shall be born unto the 
 house of David, Josiah by name ; and upon thee shall he offer the 
 priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men's 
 bones shall be burnt upon thee. 1 Kings 13: 1, 2. — Fulfilment 
 (B. C. 624). Moreover the altar that was at Bethel, and the high 
 place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had 
 made, both that altar and the high place he brake down, and burned 
 the high place, and stamped it small to powder, and burned the 
 grove. And as Josiah turned himself, he spied the sepulchres that 
 were there- in the mount, and sent, and took the bones out of the 
 sepulchres, and burned them upon the altar, and polluted it, accord- 
 ing to the word of the Lord which the man of God proclaimed, who 
 proclaimed these words. 2 Kings 23: 15, 16. 
 
 House of Jeroboam (B. C. 956). — Behold I will bring evil upon 
 the house of Jeroboam . . . and will take away of the remnant of 
 the house of Jeroboam, as a man taketh away dung, till it be all 
 gone. Moreover the Lord shall raise him up a king over Israel who 
 shall cut off the house of Jeroboam that day. 1 Kings 14 : 10, 14. — 
 Fulfilment (B. C. 953). Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah 
 did Baasha slay him, and reigned in his stead. 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 unto the saying of the Lord, which he spake by his ser- 
 vant Ahijah the Shilonite. 1 Kings 15 : 28, 29. 
 
 Drought of Three Years (B. C. 910). — And Elijah the Tishbite, 
 who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the Lord 
 God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew 
 nor rain these years, but according to. my word. 1 Kings 17 : 1. — 
 Fulfilment (B. C. 906). And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat 
 and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain. . . . And 
 it came to pass in the meanwhile, that the heaven was black with 
 clouds, and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode, and 
 went to Jezreel. 1 Kings 18: 41, 45. 
 
 Death of Ahab and Jezebel (B. C. 899). — And the word of the 
 Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying, Arise, go down to meet 
 Ahab king of Israel, which is in Samaria : behold, he is in the vine- 
 yard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to possess it. And thou 
 shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the Lord, Hast thou 
 killed, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak unto 
 him, saying, Thus saith the Lord, In the place where clogs 
 licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even 
 thine. . . . Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will take 
 away thy posterity. . . . And of Jezebel also spake the Lord, say- 
 ing, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel. . . . And the 
 word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying, Seest thou 
 how Ahab humbleth himself before me? because he humbleth him- 
 self before me, I will not bring the evil in his days : but in his son's 
 days will I bring the evil upon his house. 1 Kings 21 : 17-29. — 
 Fulfilment (B. C. 897). And the battle increased that day: and the 
 king was stayed up in his chariot against the Syrians, and died at 
 even : and the blood ran out of the wound into the midst of the 
 chariot. ... So the king died, and was brought to Samaria ; and 
 they buried the king in Samaria. And one washed the chariot in the 
 pool of Samaria; and the dogs licked up his blood ; and they washed 
 his armor; according unto the word of the Lord which he spake. 
 1 Kings 22 : 35, 38. (B. C. 884.) And Jehu drew a bow with his full 
 strength, and smote Jehoram between his arms, and the arrow went 
 out at his heart, and he sunk down in his chariot. Then said Jehu 
 to Bidkar his captain, Take up, and cast him in the portion of the

 field of Naboth the Jezrcclite : for remember how that, when I and 
 thou rode together after Ahab his father, the Lord laid this burden 
 upon him: Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and 
 the blood of his sons, saith the Lord; and I will requite thee in this 
 plat, saith the Lord. Now therefore take and cast him into the plat 
 of ground, acccording to the word of the Lord. . . . And when 
 Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it ; and she painted her 
 face, and tired her head, and looked out at a window. . . . 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 trodc 
 her under foot. And when he was come in, he did eat and drink, 
 and said, Go, see now this cursed woman, and bury her: for she is a 
 king's daughter. 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. 
 Wherefore they came again, and told him. And he said, This is the 
 word of the Lord, which he spake by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, 
 saying, In the portion of Jezreel shall dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel. 
 2 Kings 9: 24-37. 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. ... So 
 Jehu slew all that remained of the house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all 
 his great men, and his kinsfolks, and his priests, until he left him 
 none remaining. 2 Kings 10: 7, n. 
 
 Oppression of Hazael (B. C. 885). — And Hazael said, Why weep- 
 eth my lord ? And he answered, Because I know the evil that thou 
 wilt do unto the children of Israel : their strong holds wilt thou set 
 on fire, and their young men wilt thou slay with the sword, and wilt 
 dash their children, and rip up their women with child. And Hazael 
 said, But what, is thy servant a dog, that he should do this great 
 thing? And Elisha answered, The Lord hath shewed me that thou 
 shalt be king over Syria. 2 Kings 8: 12, 13.- — Fulfilment (B. C. 
 860-839). In those days the Lord began to cut Israel short, and 
 Hazael smote them in all the coasts of Israel. . . . Neither did he 
 leave of the people to Jehoahaz but fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, 
 and ten thousand footmen ; for the king of Syria had destroyed 
 them, and had made them like the dust by threshing. 2 Kings 10 : 
 
 3 2 ; 1 3- 7- 
 
 House of Jehu (B. C. 884). — And the Lord said unto Jehu, Be- 
 cause thou hast done well in executing that which is right in mine 
 eyes, and hast done unto the house of Ahab according to all that was 
 in mine heart, thy children of the fourth generation shall sit on the 
 throne of Israel. 2 Kings 10: 30. — Fulfilment (B. C. 772). In the 
 thirty and eighth year of Azariah king of Judah did Zachariah the 
 son of Jeroboam reign over Israel in Samaria six months. And 
 Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him, and smote him 
 before the people, and slew him, and reigned in his stead. This was 
 the word of the Lord which he spake unto Jehu, saying, Thy sons 
 shall sit on the throne of Israel unto the fourth generation. And so 
 it came to pass. 2 Kings 15 : 8-12. 
 
 Smiting of Sennacherib (B. C. 710). — And Isaiah said unto them, 
 Thus shall ye say unto your master, Thus saith the Lord, Be not 
 afraid of the words which thou hast heard, with which the servants 
 of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me. Behold I will send a 
 blast upon him, and he shall hear a rumor, and shall return to his 
 own land ; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land. 
 He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come 
 before it with shield, nor cast a bank against it. 2 Kings 19 : 6, 7, 
 32. — Fulfilment (B. C. 710). And it came to pass that night, that 
 the angel of the Lord went out, and smote in the camp of the Assy- 
 rians a hundred fourscore and five thousand : and when they arose 
 early in the morning, behold they were all dead corpses. So Senna- 
 cherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at 
 Nineveh. (B. C. 706.) And it came to pass, as he was worshipping 
 in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his 
 sons smote him with the sword : and they escaped into the land of 
 Armenia. And Esar-haddon his son reigned in his stead. 2 Kings 
 
 !9: 35-37- 
 
 The Babylonish Captivity (B. C. 712). — And Isaiah said unto 
 Hezekiah, Hear the word of the Lord. Behold, the days come, 
 that all that is in thine house, and that which thy fathers have laid 
 up in store unto this day, shall be carried unto Babylon : nothing 
 shall be left, saith the Lord. And of thy sons that shall issue from 
 thee, which thou shalt beget, shall they take away ; and they shall be 
 eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon. 2 Kings 20 : 16-18. — 
 Fulfilment (B. C. 606). In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim 
 king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon unto Jerusa- 
 lem, and besieged it. And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah 
 
 into his hand, with part of the vessels of the house of God : which 
 he carried into the land of Shinar to the house of his god ; and he 
 brought the vessels into the treasure-house of his god. And the king 
 spake unto Asbpenaz the master of his eunu( lis, that he should bring 
 certain of the children of Israel, and of the king's seed, and of the 
 princes; children in whom was no blemish, but well favored, and 
 skilful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and understanding 
 science, and such as had ability in them to stand in the king's palace, 
 and whom they might teach the learning and the tongue of the Chal- 
 deans. Dan. 1: 1-4. (B. C. 598.) And Nebuchadnezzar king of 
 Babylon came against the city, and his servants did besiege it. . . . 
 And he carried out thence all the treasures of the house of the Lord, 
 and the treasures of the king's house, and cut in pieces all the vessels 
 of gold which Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of the 
 Lord, as the Lord had said. 2 Kings 24: 11, 13. 
 
 Cyrus to Restore the Jews (B. C. 712). — Thus saith the LORD, 
 thy Redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the 
 Lord that maketh all things ; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; 
 that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself; . . . that saith of Cyrus, 
 He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure : even saying 
 to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built ; and to the temple, Thy founda- 
 tion shall be laid. . . . For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine 
 elect, I have even called thee by thy name : I have surnamed thee, 
 though thou hast not known me. Isa. 44: 24, 28; 45: 4. — Fulfilment 
 (B. C. 536). Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, The Lord God of 
 heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth ; and he hath 
 charged me to build him a house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah. 
 Who is there among you of all his people? his God be with him, 
 and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the 
 house of the Lord God of Israel (he is the God), which is in Jeru- 
 salem. Ezra 1 : 2, 3. 
 
 A large portion of the Bible prophecies relate to the fortunes and 
 fates of leading nations. Although these predictions were often put 
 on record before such powers came into being, yet profane history 
 shows their fulfilment to the exact letter. Even to these days the 
 enactment of many prophecies are visibly exhibited before our eyes. 
 as evidences of the supremacy of God and the truthfulness of His 
 judgments, although given thousands of years ago. 
 
 Of this latter class are the predictions : " There shall be no more 
 a prince of the land of Egypt," Ezek. 30: 13 (B. C. 580); for during 
 twenty-three centuries that land has been subjected successively by 
 the Persians, Grecians, Romans, Saracens, Mamelukes, and is now 
 ruled by a Turkish viceroy. ("Countries and Nations of the 
 Bible:" Egypt.) Moses warned Israel (B. C. 1451) that if dis- 
 obedient to the Lord, thou " shalt be removed into all the kingdoms 
 of the earth. . . . And thou shalt become an astonishment, a prov- 
 erb, and a by-word, among all nations whither the Lord shall lead 
 thee " (Deut. 28 : 25, 37) ; and 850 years later the prophet announced 
 this judgment as about to fall. Jer. 29 : 18. The history of every 
 generation since is crowded with records of the oppressions and con- 
 tumely visited upon the Jews, who are yet scattered into every coun- 
 try over the wide world. Of Ishmael the Lord said (B. C. 191 1): 
 "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 pres- 
 ence of all his brethren." Gen. 16: 12. For nearly thirty-eight 
 centuries the Arabs have lived by incursions and robberies, always 
 able to evade conquest by retreating into the sterile wildernesses of 
 Arabia, threatening to this hour every caravan that crosses their ter- 
 ritory, remaining intact, although the Moabites, Edomites, Ammon- 
 ites and Hebrews have perished from their borders. ("Eastern 
 Manners and Customs.") 
 
 One of the most striking prophecies of Scripture, because of its 
 peculiar universality of application, is the curse and blessing which 
 Noah pronounced upon the descendants of his three sons. Gen. 9 : 
 25-27. From them came all the nations of the earth, and these 
 prophetic words outline with wonderful precision the leading features 
 of their destinies. The passage is thus rendered : 
 " Cursed be Canaan ; 
 
 A servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. 
 
 Blessed be Jehovah the God of Shem ; 
 
 And Canaan shall be their servant. 
 
 God shall enlarge Japheth, 
 
 And shall dwell in the tents of Shem, 
 
 And Canaan shall be their servant." 
 From Canaan descended the depraved inhabitants of Sodom and 
 Gomorrah, who were destroyed by God, as well as the idolatrous and 
 
94 
 
 ILLUSTRATED CYCLOPEDIA OF THE BIBLE. 
 
 iniquitous Canaanites who were subjugated by the children of Israel, 
 descendants of Sliem. Egypt and Africa were also populated by the 
 posterity of Ham, father to Canaan, to whom the spirit of the curse 
 certainly applied in its fuller sense. These districts have been con- 
 trolled for several thousand years either by the descendants of Shem, 
 dwelling in Asia, or the posterity of Japheth, inhabiting Europe. 
 Peculiarly under the Jewish dispensation was Jehovah the God of 
 Israel, a branch of Shem. His Shechinah dwelt in glory for many 
 centuries in the Holy of Holies, alike in the Tabernacle and in the 
 Temple — "the tent of testimony" of Shem. The boundaries of 
 Japheth are enlarged beyond his original confines, embracing large 
 tracts once belonging to Ham and Shem. His descendants are the 
 rulers of the earth ; and about the time of the Saviour they may be 
 said to have literally dwelt in the tents of Shem, in the possession of 
 Palestine by the Greeks and Romans. 
 
 RUINS OF ANCIENT ZIDON. 
 
 The ruinous condition of four leading cities of antiquity attest the 
 sure accomplishment of the judgments declared by Jewish prophets 
 upon their heathen communities. These metropolises were Zidon, 
 Tyre, Nineveh and Babylon. The once rich and glorious Zidon 
 long seemed to withstand the denunciations spoken against her, out- 
 living the attacks beneath which her neighbors Avere overthrown ; 
 but it was destroyed by the Persians B. C. 331, when forty thousand 
 persons were burned to death. Thus was fulfilled the prediction 
 given B. C. 587 : " Thus saith the Lord God : Behold, I am against 
 thee, O Zidon ; and I will be glorified in the midst of thee : and 
 they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have executed 
 judgments in her, and shall be sanctified in her." Ezek. 28: 22. 
 This city was speedily rebuilt, was revisited by Christ, suffered many 
 reverses during the Christian Crusades, and lost its value as a sea- 
 port three centuries ago, when its harbor was choked up with stones. 
 — Tyre, " a mart of nations, the crowning city, whose merchants are 
 princes, whose traffickers are the honorable of the earth" (Isa. 23 : 
 3, 8), was threatened with overthrow by Joel, Amos, Isaiah, Ezekiel 
 and Zechariah. "By carefully considering and comparing the pro- 
 phecies together, we shall find the following particulars included in 
 them : that the city was to be taken and destroyed by the Chaldeans, 
 who were at the time of the delivery of the prophecy an inconsider- 
 able people (Isa. 23 : 13), and particularly by Nebuchadnezzar king 
 of Babylon (Ezek. 26: 7— 11); that the inhabitants should fly over the 
 Mediterranean into the islands and the countries adjoining, and even 
 there should not find a quiet settlement (Isa. 23: 6, 12); that the 
 city should be restored after seventy years, and return to her gain 
 and merchandise (Isa. 23: 15, 16); that it should be taken and 
 destroyed again (Zech. 9: 3, 4); that the people should in time 
 forsake their idolatry, and become converts to the true religion and 
 worship of God (Isa. 23: 18; Luke 6, 17; Matt. 15: 21; Acts 21 : 
 4) ; and finally that the city should be totally destroyed, and become 
 a place only for fishers to spread their nets upon" (Ezek. 26: 3-5, 
 14). All these particulars were exactly fulfilled, and may be found 
 detailed at length in Bishop Newton's valuable "Dissertations on the 
 Prophecies." Of modern Tyre the traveller Maundrell says : " You 
 see nothing here but a mere Babel of broken walls, pillars, vaults, 
 etc., there being not so much as one entire house left. Its present 
 inhabitants are only a few poor wretches harboring themselves in the 
 
 vaults, and subsisting chiefly upon fishing, who seem to be preserved 
 in this place by Divine Providence, as a visible argument how God 
 has fulfilled his word concerning Tyre, viz., that ' it should be as 
 the top of a rock, a place for fishers to dry their nets on.' " 
 
 Nahum prophesied "the burden of Nineveh," and the means of 
 its utter destruction : "With an overflowing flood shall the Lord 
 make an utter end of the place thereof" (1 : 8), B. C. 713. An 
 exceeding flood washed down a part of the city wall, and permitted 
 the Medes and Babylonian soldiers to enter its gates after a two 
 years' siege, B. C. 612. The prediction, "There shall the fire 
 destroy thee" (3: 15), is verified by the record of Diodorus that 
 the king destroyed himself and family in the conflagration of his 
 palace, and by Layard's recent disinterment of charred monumental 
 remains from a burial of 2,500 years. — The doom, of Babylon, and 
 the exact manner of its accomplishment, were foretold by Isaiah, 
 13: 14-22; 21: 2; 47; 48 (B. C. 715-698); Habakkuk, 2: 5-20 
 (B. C. 629); and by Jeremiah, 25: 12; 50; 51 (B. C. 606-595). 
 It was captured by Cyrus B. C. 538. Even the exact site of this 
 proudest city of the ancient world is unknown. Truly, "the Lord 
 of hosts hath swept it with the besom of destruction. . . . How is 
 Babylon become a desolation among the nations? Every purpose of 
 the Lord hath he performed against Babylon, to make the land of 
 Babylon a desolation without an inhabitant." ("Countries and 
 Nations of the Bible : " Nineveh; Babylon.) With these cities 
 may be mentioned Damascus, the capital of ancient Syria. "Thus 
 saith the Lord ... I will break also the bar of Damascus, and 
 cut off the inhabitant from the plain of Aven, and him that holdeth 
 the sceptre from the house of Eden ; and the people of Syria shall go 
 into captivity unto Kir," spake Amos, 1: 3-5 (B. C. 787). This 
 was fulfilled B. C. 740: "For the king of Assyria went up against 
 Damascus, and took it, and carried the people of it captive to Kir, 
 and slew Rezin." 2 Kings 16: 9. 
 
 Denunciations of the wrath of the Lord were declared against four 
 powerful nations bordering on the territory of Israel : the Amale- 
 kites, Ammonites, Edomites and Moabites. Moses predicted: "I 
 will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven" 
 (Ex. 17 : 14. B. C. 1491); and Balaam said, "His latter end shall 
 be that he perish for ever" (Num. 24: 20. B. C. 1452). Saul was 
 commanded to cut them off; and he lost his kingdom because he 
 only smote them. 1 Sam. 15. (B. C. 1079.) David slew all the 
 nation but four hundred young men, 1 Sam. 30: 17 (B. C. 1056); 
 and in the time of Hezekiah (B. C. 715), Simeon " smote the rest of 
 the Amalekites that were escaped." 1 Chron. 4: 43. — Amos spoke 
 against the Ammonites : " I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, 
 and it shall devour the palaces thereof . . . ; and their king shall 
 go into captivity, he and his princes together, saith the Lord." i : 
 13, 15. (B. C. 787.) Other prophets repeated these threats of des- 
 olation : Jer. 49 : 1-3; Ezek. 25: 1-5. Nebuzaradan fulfilled these 
 in part after the destruction of Jerusalem ; but Judas Maccabseus 
 thoroughly ravaged their country and extirpated them, B. C. 164. 
 1 Mac. 5. — Against the proud, powerful and rich dwellers in rock-girt 
 Edom seven prophets bore witness, between B. C. 1452-420: Balaam, 
 Num. 24: 18; Amos 1 : n; Isaiah 21 : 11, 12; 34: 6-15; Jere- 
 miah 49: 7-22; Ezekiel 25: 12, 13; 35; Obadiah 2-16; Malachi, 
 1 : 3-4. Notwithstanding this fertile land possessed the shortest 
 route of overland trade, and built its dwellings securely in the clefts 
 of the rocks, most strikingly is fulfilled the curse : " From generation 
 to generation it shall lie waste ; none shall pass through it for ever 
 and ever." Isa. 34: 10. — The haughty Moabites were warned by a 
 like patient series of prophecies: Ex. 15: 15; Num. 21: 27-30; 
 24: 17; Isa. 15 ; 16; 25: 10-12; Jer. 48 ; Ezek. 25 : 8-n;Amos 
 2: 1-3; Zeph. 2: 8-n (B. C. 1491-587). Their land lies waste, 
 and is only roamed over by the Bedouin Arabs, although the ruins 
 of fifty cities attest its ancient greatness. It is as the prophet fore- 
 told : "Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he 
 hath magnified himself against the Lord .... Behold, the days 
 come, saith the Lord, that I will send unto him wanderers, that shall 
 cause him to wander, and shall empty his vessels, and break their 
 bottles." Jer. 48: 42, 12. 
 
 The successive rise, extension of dominion, and fall of the Assy- 
 rian, Persian, Grecian and Roman Empires were minutely foretold 
 by the prophet Daniel, B. C. 540. Much of his prophecy has been 
 exactly fulfilled, while part is yet in course of accomplishment. 
 ("Books of the Old Testament:" Daniel.) Calmet gives the 
 briefest and most comprehensive illustration of its fulfilment, com- 
 paring its chief incidents with historical events.

 sacrifices to the utmost of his power. 
 
 The prophecies given to the Hebrew nation and recorded in Scrip- 
 ture are so full and truthful, that a clear outline of Jewish history 
 could be prepared from them. Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were 
 promised that their seed should become a great nation, be afflicted 
 in Egypt, come out with great substance in the fourth generation, 
 and possess the land of Canaan. The career of each of the tribes

 was clearly set forth, as well as fulfilled at every hand, for not only 
 have they been prominently identified with the most remarkable 
 utterances of the men chosen to the prophetic office, by the will of 
 God, but beginning with their chosen places, dispersions and deso- 
 lations have chiefly been their lot in the accomplishment of those 
 utterances. They were greatly lilted up in being selected by the 
 Almighty Ruler as his peculiar people, and were abundantly pros- 
 pered and preserved while conforming to his requirements; but, 
 when ingratitude and evil marked their history, prophets and 
 teachers were set up among them, whose threatenings were of the 
 most terrible and unsparing character, showing that he who so 
 greatly lifted up and favored a people while true to Him, would 
 correspondingly greatly cast down and punish, if faithless. Every 
 stage of the national career of the Hebrews has presented an ex- 
 hibition of God's infinite goodness and mercy on one hand, and 
 of his complete justice and judgment on the other; until no othar 
 nation has ever presented such opportunities for blessings — no 
 other carried with it such warnings against iniquity. This, truly 
 
 was indicated with peculiar vividness ("The Holy Land";. 
 Curses and blessings were set by Moses and Joshua before the nation 
 for the choosing. These prophetic words outlined the captivities 
 and desolations that have befallen the Israelites for their iniquities 
 during the past twenty-five centuries. 
 
 ROMAN COINS : JUDEA CAPTIVE. 
 
 The Chaldeans, "a nation of fierce countenance," slew all ages 
 and both sexes with the sword. Again and again did enemies "come 
 up against all the fenced cities of Judah, and took them." They 
 suffered the straitness of famine, -so that "the tender and delicate 
 woman " ate her own child. They were " left few in number " and 
 "plucked from off their own land" by the Assyrians and Babylonians. 
 Restoration and prosperity turned not their hearts to the Lord. All 
 the judgments declared of old came upon Jerusalem by the Romans, 
 as Josephus relates : " No other city ever suffered such things, as no 
 other generation from the beginning of the world was ever more 
 fruitful of wickedness." The testimony of the conqueror Titus is 
 remarkable : " We have fought with God on our side ; and it is God 
 who hath pulled the Jews out of these strongholds ; for what could 
 the hands of men or machines do against these towers." The city 
 was overthrown and destroyed; "not one stone was to be left on 
 another." Its very site was " ploughed as a field." The Jews were 
 "trodden down of the Gentiles," and "removed into all the king- 
 doms of the earth." The warning of Paul is solemn and prophetic : 
 " Because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by 
 faith. Be not high-minded, but fear. 
 
 Thus we find plainly set before the 
 world the great and unquestionable truth, 
 that in the never failing calamities that 
 are consequent upon and produced by 
 sin, God will not either withhold his 
 hand, or show himself to be a respecter 
 of persons — that the only sure way to 
 happiness and peace is entire obedience 
 to the Divine Will — that the things re- 
 vealed to us as being the certain fruits of 
 sin, are big with fulfilment and certainty 
 — and that there can be no turning away 
 from the word of God's Mouth, for as 
 Jeremiah said of Babylon : " every purpose 
 of the Lord shall be performed," or, in the 
 
 words

 the prophecies, as recorded in 
 Scripture, there is not one that 
 exhibits, in the light of profane 
 history, on the one side, a single 
 jot of weakness or failure, whilst 
 on tha other every eminent and 
 learned searcher and student of 
 the truth, has been amazed at the 
 scrupulous perfection and truthfulness of that which has come to 
 pass, and has been spoken by the mouth of the prophet. 
 
 THE CROW— USED FOR PULLING 
 DOWN WALLS. 
 
Valuable Facls and Characteristics 
 
 PECULIAR TO THE VARIOUS MONTHS OF THE YEAR IN PALESTINE. 
 
 JANUARY. — The fields, meadows, groves and 
 hill-sides, during this month, are adorned with flowers 
 of various hues ; the young grain and velvety grass 
 make the country appear beautifully green, and the 
 fruit of the numerous orange groves begins to mature. 
 The name of the Hebrew month, nearly corresponding 
 with this one, is called " Tebeth," and stands in order 
 as the tenth month of the Jewish sacred year, and the 
 fourth of the civil year. It is usually attended with 
 rain and thunder-storms of considerable severity, and 
 once in a while with a slight fall of snow and a thin 
 ice, unaccompanied with frost. 
 
 Several important fruits ripen, among which we may 
 name the citron and the apricot. Between the Tibe- 
 rias and Dead seas, the great Jordan plain now becomes 
 exceedingly hot, and, except where watered by a foun- 
 tain or rivulet, parched. This month nearly corre- 
 sponds with " Zif," the second of the Jewish sacred 
 year, and the eighth of the civil year. During it rain 
 does not often fall, and from it until the latter part of 
 October there is no rain. 
 
 FEBRUARY. — The white-blossomed almond 
 trees appear at every hand in hoary-headed splendor, 
 Eccl. xii. 5 ; and the peach, which it closely resembles, 
 is ladened with blossoms. In some districts the orange 
 trees are full of their luscious and finished fruit. This 
 month is almost identical with " Shebat," the eleventh 
 of the Jewish ecclesiastical year, and the fifth of the 
 civil year. The severe rains peculiar to January con- 
 tinue to fall during this month, and to such an extent 
 as to associate the two months in the minds of the in- 
 habitants as the " masters " or " fathers of rain." The 
 excess of rain in Palestine annually over that of our 
 own country will average eleven inches, thus giving 
 some idea of the abundance of it falling during these 
 specially rainy months. 
 
 MARCH. — The forest, field and garden trees 
 generally are covered with green leaves, whilst fruit- 
 trees generally are in full blossom, especially the tow- 
 ering and rugged palm, which is at present much 
 more rare in Palestine than formerly. Also in parts, 
 the orange trees, and sometimes the lemon, are covered 
 with ripe fruit. The barley now begins to assume a 
 yellow hue. This month is similar in order to "Adar," 
 the twelfth of the Jewish sacred year, and the sixth of 
 the civil year, and it is not widely separated from the 
 preceding ones in regard to rains, wind storms, and an 
 occasional slight snow. The streams and rivers become 
 greatly swollen and frequently overflow their banks. 
 
 APRIL. — The grain, especially barley, is in ear 
 at this time, and various fruits, as the mulberry, are 
 rapidly maturing. During the latter part of the month 
 the barley harvest begins. "Abib," or "Nisan," the first 
 month of the Jewish sacred year, and the seventh of 
 the civil year, nearly answers to April, the Hebrew 
 "Abib," signifying " green ears of grain," or " fresh 
 fruits." During its continuance the weather is variable, 
 with an occasional shower, until after the latter or 
 spring rain. Upon the deserts, and neighboring sec 
 tions, the Sirocco sometimes appears. 
 
 MAY. — The wheat harvest now occurs, and this 
 is usually considered the prominent harvest month 
 96 
 
 FRUITS OF PALESTINE. 
 
 JUNE. — The highly interesting production of the 
 plain of the Jordan, vegetable honey (Beyrouk), is 
 gathered chiefly. It is a juice exuded from the Ghar- 
 rab tree, and is very plentiful. Also, the grapes, not- 
 able for their size and flavor, begin to get ripe. In 
 this we have the third Hebrew ecclesiastical month, 
 and the ninth of the civil year, known as " Sivan." 
 The air is now exceedingly warm and still, except 
 when rendered still more oppressive by the frequent 
 very hot winds which sweep across the country from 
 the deserts, where they are known as "Simoons." 
 
 JULY. — Quite a number of fruits mature during 
 this month in portions of the country, among which are 
 apples, plums, grapes, etc. Also, not a few field and 
 garden productions mature. In the higher sections of 
 ground, and upon the hills and terraces, considerable 
 grain is also yet harvested. This month is almost the 
 same with the fourth of the Jewish sacred year, and 
 the tenth of the civil year, called " Tammuz." During 
 it the heat continues to be intense, and somewhat in 
 excess of any other in the year, the sky being clear, 
 and the rays of the sun very scorching. 
 
 AUGUST. — In the fields and gardens, figs, 
 olives, grapes, and other fruit, are largely gathered. 
 In fact this is the greatest fruit month of the year, in 
 which some of the most useful and important products 
 are plucked. It is almost akin to "Ab," the fifth month 
 of the Jewish ecclesiastical or sacred year, and the 
 
 eleventh of the civil year. In it dew begins to de- 
 scend, sometimes very copiously, which serves greatly 
 to sustain such vegetation as has not been destroyed by 
 the heat of the sun ; the dew falling heavily near the 
 mountains, and being in appearance, if not in effect, 
 similar to slight rain-falls. 
 
 SEPTEMBER.— The first ripe grapes are col- 
 lected as early as June, or later on high lands, after 
 which they are continuously plucked through about 
 four months ; but the general vintage is in this month, 
 when the clusters are cut off and put into baskets, and 
 thence into the wine-press. Also, the pomegranate, 
 abundant in Palestine, and the cotton, begin to mature. 
 This corresponds with the Hebrew month " Elul," the 
 sixth in order of the sacred year, and the twelfth of 
 the civil year. During it the dews continue to fall, 
 whilst there is but little rain, and considerable light- 
 ning- 
 
 OCTOBER. — The wines being made, or in pro- 
 cess of making, in the early part of this month, are 
 securely put away ; the pomegranates and cotton crops 
 are gathered ; the ploughing of the ground is begun, 
 and some seed is put in. This month is almost the 
 same with " Tishri," the seventh of the Jewish sacred 
 year, and the first of the civil year. In it the dews 
 are exceedingly dense and heavy, and the autumnal 
 rains begin to fill the dry river channels. During this 
 month Solomon's Temple was dedicated, 1 Kings 
 viii. 2. 
 
 NOVEMBER.— The labor of ploughing and 
 sowing belongs particularly to this month, during which 
 the orange and citron trees begin to bloom, and the 
 fig called " kermouse," of a long and dark-colored spe- 
 cies, which sometimes hangs all through the winter 
 season, becomes thoroughly matured. The rice crop 
 is also gathered. " Marcheshvan," or " Bui," the eighth 
 month of the Jewish sacred year, and the second of 
 the civil year, nearly answers to November. It is 
 more or less rainy throughout, and is somewhat distin- 
 guished for its frequent thunder storms. 
 
 DECEMBER. — The trees now present an au- 
 tumnal appearance and rapidly lose their leaves, whilst 
 the pastures of the wilderness, readily burned by the 
 heat of the summer, begin to be clothed with a rich 
 and tender herbage. The Arab is again permitted to 
 return to his favorite pasturage in the fertile desert 
 tracts, for, in the east, whilst some deserts are barren, 
 others afford good grazing. This month, known in 
 the Hebrew as " Chisleu," is the ninth of the Jewish 
 sacred year, and the third of the civil year. It is 
 rainy throughout, and, with January and February, 
 especially forms the rainy season — these months fur- 
 nishing more rain than all the others together.

 NAMES ON EGYPTIAN BRICKS. 
 
 Prefatory. — In the preparation and arrangement of the following names 
 for the public, the leading idea has been to furnish a superior, thoroughly-rounded 
 and unexceptionable list, that should supersede the very many imperfect ones 
 now published. Therefore, something of more importance than merely a full 
 roll or an alphabetical arrangement, is contained in these authoritative pronuncia- 
 tions, and free translations, accentuations and syllabic divisions ; for in them the 
 
 Bible student is made safe in the use and various definitions of names constantly 
 employed in the religious world, and is thus enabled to avoid the errors often 
 noticeable and sometimes hurtful in effect. And that the fullest confidence may 
 be placed in the work, a few of the authorities, to whose researches it is indebted, 
 are herewith named : Rev. Dr. Jones' Proper Names of the Old Testament 
 Scriptures, Expounded and Illustrated — a book on a different and more compre- 
 hensive plan than any of its predecessors, both etymologically and historically, 
 and in the preparation of which nearly eight years of assiduous labor were 
 employed; Butterworth's Concordance ; Bender's Erklarung der Fremden 
 Sprachcn Namen ; Dr. Petrfs Handbnch der Fremdevorter ; Dr. Pic/iler's 
 Taschenworderbuch der Fremdnamen ; C. Graglia's Scelta de Nomi Prop/; 
 Smith's Complete Dictionary ; Gesenius' Hebrew Lexicon, etc., etc. 
 
 The high price of several of the authorities named places them beyond the 
 reach of many ; which fact, added to the often vexatious delay in importing 
 them, makes this perfected list especially desirable. In the hope that the time 
 and labor spent upon it may secure to it the respect and appreciation I believe it 
 merits, I offer it both to the public and the public's critics.

 mighty, we have abundant proofs : one single instance, from the fine saying ascribed to Ali, the 
 son-in-law of the impostor of Arabia: "It was once demanded of the fourth Khalif (Ali), on 
 whom be the mercy of the Creator, if the canopy of heaven were a bow; and if the earth were 
 the cord thereof; and if calamities were arrows : if mankind were the mark for those arrows : 
 and if Almighty God, the tremendous and the glorious, were the unerring archer, to whom could 
 the sons of Adam flee for protection? The Khalif answered, saying, ' The sons of Adam must 
 flee unto the Lord.* This fine image Job keeps in view (vi. 8, 9,) wishing that the unerring

 valiant sons."

 captive by Nebuchadnezzar

 heathens for refusing to hear it, be attended with great affliction.

 in the way of salvation. — Psa. ix. 14 : that I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the 
 daughter of Sion. 
 
 2. Gates of Death. 
 
 Imminent danger of death. — Psa. ix. 13 : have mercy uPon me, Lord .... thou that deliver- 
 est 7ne from the gates of death. " The Hebrew poets supposed the lower world, or region of

 unto thee ? or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death /-—King Hezekiah, in his hymn 
 of thanksgiving for his recovery, (Isa. xxxviii. 10.) sings : I shall go to the gates of the grave." 
 The same image is found among the Greek and Roman poets. 
 
 3. Security. — (.Because gates are a security to a fortress or city.) — Psa. cxlvii. 13 : He hath strengtli- 
 ened the bars of thy gates. That is, God has given Jerusalem security; and put it out of danger. 
 Job. xxxviii. 10 : The setting of bars and gates against the sea, means the securing of the earth 
 against its inroads. The decree, there alluded to, as imposed by the Almighty upon the ocean, 
 is that wonderful law of gravitation in fluids, by which all the parts of them exerting an equal 
 pressure upon one another, the equilibrium of the whole is maintained. 
 
 Girdle. — TheEastern people, wearing long and loose garments, were unfit for action or business 
 of any kind, without girding their clothes about them. A girdle, therefore, denotes strength and 
 activity ; and to unloose it is to deprive a person of strength, to render him unfit for action. — Isa. 
 v. 27 : Nor shall the girdle of their loins be loosed.— -Isa. xiv. 1 : I will loose the loins of kings

 they shall revive as the corn; they shall grow as the vine. — John xii. 24 : Except a cor7i of 
 'wheat fall i?ito the ground and die, it abideth alone ; but if it die, it bringethforth much fruit. 
 Isa. lxvi. 14. 1 Cor. xv. 36-44. 
 
 2. Growth in grace. — Isa. Iv. 10, xi : For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, 
 a?id retumeth not thither, but watereth the earth, a?id viaketh it bringforth a7id bud, that it 
 may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater ; — so shall my word be. 
 
 Hail. 
 
 1, The devastations made by the inroads of enemies. — Isa. xxviii. 2 . The Lord hath a mighty 
 and a strong one which as a tempest of hail, .... shall cast down to the earth with the 
 ha7td. — Under this resemblance the prophet represents the utter destruction of the kingdom of the 
 ten tribes, which afterwards was accomplished by Shalmaneser. Compare Isa. xxxii. 19. Eze.

 Jews by the Assyrian king and his armies.

 1. Right Hand.— Great protection and favor. — Psa. xviii. 35 : Thy right hand hath holden me up. 
 
 2. Laying the right hand upon a person. The conveyance of blessings, strength, and power, 
 authority. Thus Jacob conveyed blessings to the two sons of Joseph. (Gen. xlviii. 20.) The 
 hand that touched the.prophet Daniel (x. 10.) strengthened him; and Moses, by laying his right 
 hand upon Joshua (Num. xxvii. 18.), delegated a portion of his authority to him.

 (marginal rendering) hath he covered. — Micah iii. 1. 9. 11 : Hear, O heads of Jacob, atid ye 
 pri7ices of the house of Israel. . . . The heads fudge for reward. 
 
 3. When a body politic is represented under the symbol of an animal, and is considered as one 
 body, the head of it, by the rule of analogy, is its capital city. — Isa. vii. 8, 9 : The head of Syria 
 is Da7nascus. . . . And the head of Ephrai77i (that is, of the kingdom of Israel,) is Sa77iaria. 
 
 Heat. (Scorching.) — Trouble and persecution. — Matt. xiii. 6. 21; When the sun was up, they

 the Jews.

 tans, attributed to the Lamb (in Rev. v. 6), is signified that universal power which our Lord 
 oht: in'ed when, suffering death under the form of an innocent victim, he thereby vanquished the

 forth conquering and to conquer. See Black.

 everlasting glory to Jerusalem, have not been fulfilled in the literal Jerusalem ; nor can be so ful- 
 filled without contradicting other predictions, especially those of our Lord which have denounced 
 its ruin. They remain therefore to be fulfilled in a spiritual sense; in that sense which St. 
 Paul points out to us, when, in opposition to ferusalem that now is, and is in bondage with her 
 children, he presents to our view ferusalem which is above, which is the mother of us all 
 (Gal. iv. 24-26.) This is the city which Abraham looked to: a building not made with hands,

 Jerusalem."

 teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things offered unto idols. — 
 Instead of that woman Jezebel, many excellent manuscripts, and almost all the ancient versions, 
 read thy wife fezebel ; which reading asserts that this bad woman was the wife of the bishop or 
 angel of that church ; whose criminality in suffering her was, therefore, the greater. She called 
 herself a prophetess, that is, set up for a teacher, and taught the Christians that fornication and 
 eating things offered to idols were matters of indifference, and thus they were seduced from the 
 truth. 
 
 Keys. — Power, authority. — Rev. i. 18 : / . . . . have the keys of hell and of death; that is,

 Know ye not that a little\ea.ven teaveneth the whole lump? Purge out therefore the old\ca.ven,

 Babylon, which was watered by the Euphrates. Jer. Ii. 36: / will dry up her sea, and make 
 her springs dry ; this refers to the stratagem by which Cyrus diverted the course of the river and 
 captured Babylon. — Eze. xxxii. 2 : Thou art as a whale in the sea ; the prophet is speaking of 
 the kingdom of Egypt, through which the Nile flowed. — See Waves. 
 
 3. Sea of glass. — Rev. iv. 6. The blood of the Redeemer, which alone cleanses man from sin. It 
 is called a sea, in allusion to the large vessel in the temple, out of which the priests drew water to 
 wash themselves, the sacrifices, and the instruments of which they made use for sacrificing. (1 
 Kings vii. 23.) See also Sand and Waves. 
 
 Seal. — Sealing. 
 
 1. Preservation and security. — Sol. Song iv. 12 : A fountain sealed, is a fountain carefully pre- 
 served from the injuries of weather and beasts, that iLs waters may be preserved good and clean. 
 
 2. Secrecy ar.d privacy, because men usually seal up those things which they design to keep secret. 
 Thus, a book sealed, is one whose contenLs are secret, and are not to be disclosed until th« 
 removal of the seal. In Isa. xxix n, a vision like unto a book sealed, is a vision not yet under- 
 stood.

 SYMBOLICAL LANGUAGE OF SCRIPTURE. 
 
 3. Completion and perfection, also authority ; because the putting of a seal to any decree, will, or 
 othei instrument in writing, completes the whole transaction. — Eze. xxviii.12: Thou (the king 
 oi Tyre) sealest u/ the sumfult of wisdom ana perfect in beauty; that is, thou lookest upon 
 thysch as having arrived at the highest pitch of wisdom and glory. Neh. ix. 8. Esther viii. 8. 
 
 4. Restraint or hindrance. — Job xxxvii. 7: lie scaleth up the hand of every man; that is, the 
 Almighty restrains then power. — Job ix. 7 ; Which sealeth tip the stars ; that is, restrains their 
 influences. 
 
 5. Propriety in a thing. — Anciently, it was the custom to seal goods purchased; each person hav- 
 ing his peculiar mark, which ascertained the property to be his own. Hence, the seat of God is 
 His mar/:, by which He knowclh them that are His. (2 Tim. ii. 19. J Under the law of Moses, 
 circumcision is represented to be the seal which separated the people of God from the heathen 
 who did not call upon his name. (Rom. iv. n.) And in this sense the sacrament of baptism, 
 succeeding to circumcision, was called by the fathers of the church the seal of God ; but in the 
 Gospel, this divine seal is more accurately described to be the Holy Spirit of God. They who 
 have this spirit are marked as his. (2 Cor. i. 22 ; Eph. i. 13. iv. 20.) Our Lord Jesus Christ is 
 represented as eminently possessing this mark. (John vi. 27.) Generally, all who name the 
 name of Christ and depart from iniquity, are said to be thus divinely sealed. (2 Tim. ii. 19.) 
 "By the seal of the living God, mentioned in Rev. vii. 2, is signified that impression of the Holy 
 Spirit upon the heart of man, which preserves in it the principles of pure faith, producing the 
 fruits oi piety and virtue. This is the seal which marks the real Christian as the property of 
 the Almighty. In Rev. vii. 3, 4., the sealed mark is said to be impressed upon the foreheads 
 oj the servants of God, cither because on this conspicuous part of the person distinguishing 
 ornaments were worn by the Eastern nations : or because slaves anciendy were marked upon 
 their foreheads, as the property of thcii masters. 
 
 Seed. — The Wora oj God. — Luke viii. 11. 
 
 Serpent. — Satan, the enemy of souls. — Rev. xii. 9 : That old serpent, called the Devil and Satan, 
 which deceiveth the whole world, — 2 Cor. xi. 3 : The serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty. 
 
 Seven. See Numbers. 
 
 Shadow. — Defence, protection. In the sultry Eastern countries this metaphor is highly expressive 
 ol support and protection. — Num. xiv. 9 : Their defence (Heb. shadow') is departed from 
 them. Compare Psa. xci. 1. exxi. 5. Isa. xxx. 2. xlix. ii. and )i. 16. The Arnbs and Persians 
 employ the same word to denote the same thing, using these expressions : — "May the shadow 
 of thy prosperity be extended." "May the shadow of thy Prosperity be spread over the heads 
 of thy well-wishers." " May thy protection never be removed from thy head; may God extend 
 thy shadow eternally." 
 
 Sheep. — Shepherd. 
 
 X. SheeP under a Shepherd, — The people under a king. — Zech. xiii. 7 : Smite the shepherd, and 
 the sheep shah be scattered. 
 
 2. The disciples of Christ, who is their shepherd; the church of Christ, consisting of all true be- 
 lievers in Him their Shepherd. — John x. 11 — 14: lam the good shepherd ; the good shepherd 
 giveth his life for the sheep. I . . . . kno7v my sheep.— 1 Pet. ii. 25 : Ye .... are now 
 returned unto the shepherd and bishop of your souls.

 and luxuries of life, particularly the merchants of Tyre and Sidon.— Isa. ii. T2-16 : The day of 
 the Lord of Hosts shall be . . . .upon all the ships of Tarshish. — Isa. xxiii. 1 : Howl t O ye 
 ships of Tarshish. 
 
 Shoes. — The preparation of the Gospel of peace.— Eph. vi. 15. 
 
 Silence.

 Sit — Sitting. 
 
 1. Reigning, ruling, and judging. — In Judg. v. 10, Ye that sit in judgment, are the magistrates or 
 judges. The sitting on a throne, which occurs so very frequently in the Scriptures, invariably 
 means to reign. 
 
 2. With other adjuncts, sitting has a different signification : as, 
 
 i. To sit upon the earth or dust (Isa. iii. 26. xlvii. 1. Lam. ii. 10. Ezek. xxvi. 16), or on a dung- 
 hill, signifies to be in extreme misery. 
 
 ii. To sit in darkness (Psa. cvii. 10. Isa. xlii. 7), is to be in prison and slavery. 
 
 iii. To sit as a widow (Isa. xlvii. 8) is to mourn as a widow.

 Hear the word of the Lord, ye rulers of Sodom ; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people 
 of Gomorrah. Rev. xi. 8. 
 
 Soldier. — A Christian who is at war with the world, the flesh, and the devil. — 2 Tim. ii. 3 : En- 
 dure hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 
 
 Sores, or Ulcers symbolically denote sins ; because, according to the Hebrew idiom and notions, 
 to heal signifies to pardon sins ; and to pardon a sin is equivalent to healing. — 2 Chr. xxx. 20. 
 The pious monarch, Hezekiah, having prayed that God would excuse and pardon those who had 
 eaten the passover without being sufficiently purified, the Lord hearkened to Hezekiah, and 
 healed the people.— -Isa. liii. 3: By his stripes we are healed. In Isa. i. 6, Wounds, bruises, 
 and sores, are sins ; the binding up of them signifies repentance ; and the healing uP, remission 
 or forgiveness. 
 
 South. — Judaea. — Eze. xx. 46: Set thy face toward the south, and drop thy word towards the 
 south. — Judaea lay to the south of Chaldaea, where the prophet Ezekiel stood.

 heating in his wings. 
 
 Among the various hieroglyphics discovered by Dr. Richardson in the ruins of the ancient temple 
 of Tentyra cr Dendera, in Upper Egypt, was this : " Immediately over the centre of the door- 
 way is the beautiful Egyptian ornament, usually called the globe, with serpent and wings, emble- 
 matic of the glorious sun, poised in the airy firmament of heaven, supported and directed in his 
 course by the eternal wisdom of the Deity. The sublime phraseology of Scripture, The Sun of 
 Righteousness shall arise with healing in his wings, could not be more accurately or more em- 
 phatically represented to the human eye, than by this elegant device' 
 
 3.. Sun and Moon.— The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood. (Joel ii. 31. 
 Acts ii. 20.) A figurative representation of a total eclipse, in which 'he sun is entirely darkened, 
 and the moon assumes a bloody hue : it signifies the fall of the ci-il and ecclesiastical state in 
 Judaea. 
 
 Swine. — Wicked and unclean people. — Matt. vii. 6 : Neither cast ye your pearls before swine. 
 
 Sword. 
 
 x. Death and destruction. Eze. xxi. — This symbol occurs so repea*-dly in the Scriptures, and is, 
 besides, so well known as to render more examples unnecessary.

 Ten. See Numbers. 
 
 Thirst. See Hunger.

 they, which, when they have heard the word, go forth, and are choked with cares, and riches, 
 and pleasures of life. 
 
 2. Thorns and Briers ; wicked, perverse, and untractable persons. — Eze. ii. 6: Son of man, be not 
 afraid of them .... though briers and thorns be with thee. 
 
 Three or Third. See Numbers. 
 
 Threshing. — Destruction. — Jer. Ii. 33: Babylon is like a threshing-floor; it is time to thresh 
 her; that is, to subdue and destroy her power. Isa. xii. 15. Amos 1. 3. Micah iv. 13. Hab. 
 iii. 12. 
 
 Throne. — Kfngdom, Government.— Gen. xii. 40: Only in the throne will I be greater than thou. 
 In 2 Sam. iii. 10, kingdom and throne are synonymous. To translate the kingdom from the 
 house of Saul — and to set up the throne of David over Israel. The settling of the throne (2 
 Sam. vii. 12, 13, 16), signifies the settling or establishment of the government in peace : and the 
 enlargement of the throne (1 Kings i. 37, compare with 47), implies a great accession of power 
 and dominions. 
 
 Thunder. — The voice of God. — Psa. xxix. 3 : The voice of the Lord is upon the waters; the 
 God of glory thundereth. In Rev. x. 4, the seven thunders may mean either a particular

 Towers and Fortresses ; defenders and protectors, whether by counsel or by strength, in peace or 
 in war. — Isa. ii. 12. 15 : The day of the Lord of hosts shall be ... . upon every high tower,

 fruitful field both soul and body. . . . And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few. [See

 their offspring. Thus, in Isa. xi. 1, Jesus Christ, in respect of his human nature, is styled a rod 
 of the stem of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots ; that is, a prince arising from the family of 
 David. 
 
 Veil of the Temple. — The body of Christ opening the kingdom of heaven by his death, when the 
 
 veil of the temple was rent. — Matt, xxvii. 51 : The veil of the temple was rent in twain. — Heb.

 and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice 
 of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride. The same expression also occurs in Jer.

 water.

SYMBOLICAL LANGUAGE OF SCRIPTURE. 
 
 21 
 
 i As the choicest heavenly blessings are frequently represented in the Scriptures by the salutary 
 effects of wine ■ so, from the noxious and intoxicating qualities of that liquor— (which anciently 
 was mixed with bitter and stupefying ingredients, and given to malefactors who were about to 
 suffer death', -is borrowed a tremendous image of the wrath and indignation of Almighty <<od. — 
 Psa. Ixxv. 8 : In the hand of the Lorn) there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture. 
 — ^Psa. Ix. 3 : Thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment. Jer. xxv. 15. Rev. xiv. 
 10; xvi. 19. _ , e , . 
 
 Wine-pkess —Treading the wine-press, from their custom of pressing grapes, signifies destruction 
 attended with great slaughter.— Lam. i. 15 : The Lord hath trodden underfoot alt my mighty 
 men in the midst 0/ me : he hath called an assembly against me, to crush my young men ; the 
 Lord hath trodden the virgin, the daughter of Judah, as in a wine-press. Isa. lxiu. 3. 
 
 Wings. ... ,. 1 . t> ■ j 
 
 1. Protection.— Psa. xvii. 8 : Hide me under the shadow of thy wings. Psa. xxxvi. 7, and 
 
 3. Wings when used to fly upwards, are emblems of exaltation. — Isa.xl. 31: They shall mount up 
 
 with wings as eagles; that is, they shall be highly exalted. 
 Wol" —A thief, or religious impostor; a devourer of the church. — Luke x. 3 : I send you forth as 
 
 lambs among wolves.— John x. 12; He that is a hireling. . . . seelh the wolf coming, and

 12 of Babylon in Psa. exxxvii. 8, and of Jerusalem in 2 Kings xix. 21, signifies the inhabitants

 high appellation of the espoused of God, in Isa. liv. 1. 5, lxvi. 6-14, and Jer. xxxi. 4. When 
 wicked and idolatrous, she is styled the harlot, the adulteress. See Adulteress. 
 
 a The true church of Christ.— Rev. xii. 1 : A woman clothed with the sun. 
 
 Write.— To publish or notify. This was the first intention of writing ; and, in the earliest ages, 
 no writings were made but upon pillars or monuments, merely to notify things.— Jer. xxii. 30: 
 
 Write this man childless : that is, publish it, and let all men know that he shall have no child to 
 succeed him upon the throne. For it appears from 1 (Jhron. iii. 17, 18, and Matt i. 2., that 
 Jeconiah (of whom the prophet is speaking) had children ; but being born probably after he wa» 
 carried to Babylon, where he lived many years a captive, none of them ever succeeded to the 
 royal authority. 2 Kings xxv. 27. 
 
 Yoke. 
 
 1. Oppressive bondage. — Dent, xxviii. 48: He shall put a voke of Iron upon thy neck, until he 
 shall have destroyed thee. Jer. xxviii. 14. In Gal. v. 1 , The yoke of bondage means the Imr- 
 thensomc ceremonies of the Mosaic law, from which the Christian law of liberty has deliv- 
 ered us. 
 
 2. Punishment for sin.— Lam. i. 14 : The yoke of my transgressions is bound l>y his hand. 
 
 3. These useful restraints, which arise from a sense of the duty which we owe to God, and the 
 obedience we ought to pay to his laws. — Lam. iii. 27 : It is good for a man to bear the yoke in 
 his youth. 
 
 4. The doctrines and precepts of Jesus Christ and the temper, dispositions and duties which flow 
 from them.— Matt. xi. 29, 30 : Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me, for I am meek and 
 lowly in heart, and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burd/n it 
 
 , light. — Qucsncl's remark upon the last sentence is not more beautiful than devout ; " How easy 
 and sweet is it to serve Christ even in bearing his cross i How hard and painful is the slavery 
 of the world, of sin, and of our own passions, even with all their false pleasures! That satis- 
 faction, peace, and comfort, which grace gives here below, and that which hope encourages u» 
 to expect in heaven, make a Christian full amends for all his pains in subduing nis Las-ions, and 
 in opposing the world. . . . A yoke, which Christ takes together with us, — can thai be ,in:usy? 
 A burthen, which He bears in us by His Spirit, — can that be heavy? Come, then, :aj»»* aiM 
 know by experience how sweet the Lord is, and how worthy His yoke is to be chosen and 
 loved 1"

 HOW TO READ THE HOLY BIBLE THROUGH IN A YEAR. 
 
 Read three chapters daily, and five on the Sabbath ; that is, two chapters in the Old Testament 
 and one daily in Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Solomon's Song, and the New Testament — three 
 on the Sabbath. 
 
 The Old Testament, without these four books, contains two chapters a day for the year; and 
 the New Testament, with the four books, has one chapter a day and three for Sabbath days, less 
 eight chapters. 
 
 Read Psalm 119 as eleven chapters, of two divisions each, and connect the short Psalms, 117 
 and 131, with the next, and 133 and 134 together — thus adding eight chapters to complete the year. 
 February 29, in leap year, is left out, so as not to derange the list.

 KINGS OF JUDAH. 
 
 Rehoboam, son of Solomon 
 Revolt of ten tribes 
 Temple plundered by 
 Shishak 
 Abiiah, or Abijam 
 
 Victory over Jeroboam, 
 but his heart not perfect 
 with God 
 Asa 
 
 His heart perfect with the 
 Lord all his days, even 
 deposing his grandmo- 
 ther Maachah for her 
 idolatry 
 Victory over Zerah 
 Covenant with God 
 His league with Benhadad 
 Misconduct under Han- 
 ani's reproof— diseased 
 in his feet, yet seeks not 
 to the Lord, but to the 
 physicians 
 Jehoskaph a t 
 His heart lifted up in the 
 ways of the Lord — great 
 earnestness for the re- 
 ligious instruction of his 
 people 
 The great error of his 
 reign his affinity with 
 Ahab in marrying his 
 eldest son Jehoram to 
 Athaliah, the daughter 
 of Ahab and Jezebel — 
 from which follows his 
 expedition to Ramoth- 
 Gilead, which nearly 
 cost him his life 
 His joining Ahaziah to go 
 to Ophir,which involves 
 the destruction of his 
 fleet 
 
 His joining Jehoram and 
 thekingof Edom against 
 the Moabites, which, but 
 for the miracle wrought 
 by Elisha, would have 
 led to the destruction of 
 their three armies for 
 want of water 
 
 His prosperous reign 
 closes with a signal de- 
 liverance by the Lord 
 from the Moabites 
 Jehoram, son of Jehosha- 
 phat 
 
 Murders his six brothers 
 —compels his subjects 
 to commit idolatry — is 
 punished by the revolt 
 of the Edomites (fulfill- 
 ing Isaac's prophecy. 
 Gen. xxvii.40,) — the in- 
 vasionof the Philistines, 
 Arabians, etc., and by 
 an agonizing, lingering 
 disease, of which he dies 
 unlamented 
 Ahaziah, grandson of Je- 
 hoshaphat 
 
 Follows the evil counsels 
 of his mother — engaged 
 with his uncle Jehoram 
 against Hazael,inwhich 
 he is wounded, and af- 
 terward slain by Jehu 
 Athaliah, daughter of 
 Ahab, widow of Jeho- 
 ram, and mother of 
 Ahaziah 
 
 Usurps the throne, and 
 but for the rescue of 
 the infant Joash by his 
 aunt, the wife of Jeho- 
 iada would have suo 
 ceeded in the murder 
 of the whole royal fam- 
 ily of David 
 Joash, or Jehoahaz, son of 
 Ahaziah 
 
 Anointed king, and Atha 
 liah slain 
 
 Repairs the temple 
 
 Apostasy after the death 
 of Jehoiada, whose son 
 he murders in the house 
 of the Lord, but his 
 blood is required at his 
 hand. Hazael defeated 
 him — he was afflicted 
 with great diseases, and 
 slainbyhisownservants 
 Amaziah 
 
 Begins well, ends badly 
 
 Enabled by God to over- 
 come the Edomites 
 without the help of the 
 Israelites, he yet for- 
 sakes God, and seeks 
 after the gods of the 
 Edomites — in the pride 
 of conquest he chal- 
 lenges Jehoash, and is 
 overcome— the temple 
 and his palaceis pillaged 
 
 Murdered by his own

 le above table states after what Scripture the different portions of the prophetic books are to be read in the order of time, but it does not necessarily imply that there is any connection of subject 
 the Scripture and the prophecy; as, for instance, Mai. i. ii. iii. 1-16, following Psalm cxix. Often, however, there is an important connection : for instance, 2 Kings xvi. 5, w'th Isa. vii.-x. i-j. 
 
 resents us with an astonishing view of the long-suffering of God to one of the most wicked of men : the prophet Isaiah, for the consolation of Ahaz, was sent not only to assure him of immediate safety 
 
 ut to announce to him one of the most splendid prophecies in the Old Testament respecting the promisod Messiah. (Isa. vii. 14; ix. 6, &c.)

 EXPRESSIONS FOR SOCIAL PRAYER. 
 
 ADORATION. 
 
 Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, Lord; thou art 
 
 great, and thy name is great in might; who would not fear thee, 
 
 King of nations ? 
 All thy works shall praise thee, Lord, and thy saints shall 
 
 bless thee. They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and 
 
 talk of thy power. 
 thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come. 
 
 CONFESSION. 
 
 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. 
 
 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is 
 not in us. 
 
 We are all as an unclean thing. 
 
 SUPPLICATION. 
 
 God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine 
 
 upon us. 
 Wilt thou not revive us again, that thy people may rejoice in 
 
 thee? 
 Show us thy mercy, Lord, and grant us thy salvation. 
 
 INTERCESSION. 
 Let the people praise thee, God; let all the people praise thee. 
 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come t» an end; but establish 
 
 the just. 
 
 THANKSGIVING. 
 Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, for his 
 
 wonderful works to the children of men ! 
 For thy mercy is great above the heavens, and thy truth reacheth 
 
 unto the clouds. 
 Blessed be the name of the Lord from this time forth and for ever- 
 more. 
 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same, the 
 
 Lord's name is to be praised. 
 Who is like unto the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high, who 
 
 humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven and in 
 
 the earth. 
 Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift. 
 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness 
 
 of sins according to the riches of his grace. 
 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which 
 
 according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a 
 
 lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead to 
 
 an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not 
 
 away. 
 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who 
 
 hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in Christ. 
 
 DEDICATION. 
 
 Lord our God, other lords besides thee have had dominion 
 over us ; but by thee only will we make mention of thy name. 
 
 We are thine. 
 
 DOXOLOGY. 
 Now unto God and our Father be glory forever and ever. Amen. 
 Salvation to our God which sitteth on the throne, and unto the 
 
 Lamb. 
 Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, 
 
 and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever, 
 
 Amen. 
 
 EXPRESSIONS FOR PRIVATE PRAYER. 
 
 ADORATION. 
 
 1 will love thee, Lord, my strength. 
 
 The Lord is my rook, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, 
 my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of 
 my salvation, and my high tower. 
 
 Truly my soul waiteth upon God ; from him oometh my salvation. 
 
 He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence, I shall 
 not be greatly moved. 
 
 CONFESSION. 
 
 I acknowledge my transgression, and my sin is ever before me. 
 For I know that in me, that is in my flesh, dwelleth no good 
 
 thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that 
 
 which is good I find not. 
 wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from the body of 
 
 this death? 
 Behold, I am vile ; what shall I answer thee ? I will lay my hand 
 
 upon my mouth. 
 
 SUPPLICATION. 
 
 God be merciful to me, a sinner. 
 
 Create in me a clean heart, God ; and renew a right spirit with- 
 in me. 
 
 Have mercy upon me, God, according to thy loving kindness : 
 according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies, blot out my 
 transgressions.

 For thy name's sake, O Lord, pardon my iniquity, for it is great ! | 
 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities. 
 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions ; 
 
 according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' 
 
 sake, Lord. 
 Cast me not away from thy presence : and take not thy holy spirit 
 
 from me. 
 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation ; and uphold me with thy 
 
 free spirit. 
 
 Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall show forth thy 
 praise. 
 
 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit : a broken and a contrito 
 
 heart, O God, thou wilt not despise- 
 Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not. 
 Hear my voice according unto thy loving kindness : Lord, 
 
 quicken mc according to thy judgment. 
 Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments 
 
 help me. 
 
 1 have gone astray like a lost sheep ; seek thy servant; for I do 
 not forget thy commandments. 
 
 Search me, God, and know my heart; try me, and know my 
 
 thoughts. 
 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way 
 
 everlasting. 
 Show me thy ways, Lord ; teach me thy paths. 
 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me : for thou art the God of my 
 
 salvation ; on thee do I wait all the day. 
 Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of 
 
 thy law. 
 
 that thou wouldst bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and 
 that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldst keep 
 me from evil, that it may not grieve rue ! 
 
 1 will not let thee go, except thou bless me. 
 
 Remove far from me vanity and lies : give me neither poverty nor 
 
 riches; feed me with food convenient forme. 
 Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the Lord ? or lest I 
 
 be poor and steal, and take the name of my God in rain. 
 When a few years are come, then I shall go the way whence I 
 
 shall not return. 
 Lord make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, 
 
 what it is ; that I may know how frail I am. 
 
 INTERCESSION. 
 
 Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sin- 
 cerity. 
 
 Do good, Lord, unto those that be good, and to them that are 
 upright in their hearts. 
 
 that thou wouldst rend the heavens, that thou wouldst come 
 down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence. 
 
 send out thy light and thy truth. 
 
 Be thou exalted, God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above 
 
 all the earth. 
 Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, who only doeth 
 
 wondrous things. 
 And blessed be his glorious name forever : and let the whole earth 
 
 be filled with his glory. Amen and Amen. 
 
 THANKSGIVING. 
 
 1 waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and 
 heard my cry. 
 
 Many, Lord my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast 
 
 done, and thy thoughts which are to us- ward : they cannot be 
 
 reckoned up in order unto thee : if I would declare and speak of 
 
 them, they are more than can be numbered. 
 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, God! how great is 
 
 the sum of them ! 
 If I should count them they are more in number than the sand : 
 
 when I awake I am still with thee. 
 Bless the Lord, my soul, and all that is within me, bless his 
 
 holy name. 
 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits. 
 AVho forgiveth all thine iniquities, who healeth all thy diseases. 
 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction : who crowneth thee with 
 
 loving kindness and tender mercies. 
 What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits toward me ? 
 I will take the cup of salvatior. and call upou the name of the 
 
 Lord. 
 All thy works shall praise thee, Lord, and thy saints shall bless 
 
 thee. 
 For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people, ho will beautify the 
 
 meek with salvation. 
 
 DEDICATION. 
 
 Lord, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant and the son of 
 thine handmaid : thou hast loosed my bonds.

A COMPLETE HISTOEY OF THE COINS AND DENOMINATIONS OF MONEY 
 
 USED IN TIIE BIBLE, 
 
 WITH TABLES OF THEIR VALUE REDUCED TO MONEY OF THE UNITED STATES, COMPILED FROM THE 
 
 LATEST AND BEST ENGLISH AND AMERICAN AUTHORITIES. 
 
 THE first mention we find of the use of silver in the Bible is in 
 Genesis xx. 16; and in Genesis xxiii. 16 we find distinct mention 
 not only of the metal, but of its use as money, and also the denomi- 
 
 Ooin of Crotona. Boetia Bereai 
 
 nation of shekel, which was the unit of Jewish calculations. "And 
 Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver which he had named in the 
 audience of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current 
 
 Phocis. The3salonlca. Egina. 
 
 money with the merchant." This passage clearly indicates that money 
 was in common use among the nations from the time of Abraham. The 
 Holy Scriptures fully agree with all profane history in proving that the 
 
 Herod's shekel. Borea. Patera, 
 
 barter of cumbrous commodities was very early superseded by the sub- 
 stitution of the precious metal3 as the representative of value, and that, 
 in one form or other, money has formed the basis of commercial inter- 
 
 Syracuse. Athens 
 
 change from the very earliest ages. The metals most commonly men- 
 tioned as used for this purpose are gold, silver, and copper, they being 
 wide-spread in limited quantity, and therefore convenient and suitable. 
 
 Piaistratus. Magnesia. Pisistratus. 
 
 Throughout the Old Testament we find the money of Egypt and of 
 Canaan mentioned without distinction, and hence may infer that the 
 currency of the two countries was interchangeable, if not the same. In 
 old Egyptian inscriptions we find representations of money in the form 
 
 of rings. This was probably its earliest form; but as in every trans- 
 action mention is made of weighing it, we may reasonably conclude that 
 the rings did not represent any fixed amount, and were not properly 
 
 Syracuse. Acanthus, 
 
 coins, but were used merely as a convenient form, the amount being 
 accidental and variable. It is also probable that silver was the earliest, 
 and therefore the standard representative of value. It is uniformly 
 
 Antiochns Dionysus. Corinth, 
 
 mentioned in this connection in the first part of the Old Testament, and 
 always spoken of in the denomination of shekels. The shekel, originally 
 and properly a unit of weight, afterward was used to designate value — 
 
 Antiochns Epiphanes. Coin of Macrinus. 
 
 Byhlos. Syria. 
 
 meaning a shekel weight of silver. (See Weights and Measures.) 
 A " piece of silver," so often mentioned in the Old Testament, is synony- 
 mous with shekel. In natural sequence of development, the making of 
 
 Tigranes, King of Syria. 
 
 pieces of silver of the weight of the shekel, with certain marks to indicate 
 its denomination and value, followed. The first allusion to Jewish coin- 
 age is found in the Apocrypha, where it is related, in 1 Maccabees xv. 6, 
 that Simon was granted permission to coin money with his own stamp ; 
 and it is probable that he was the first to issue a distinctive Jewish 
 coin — the silver shekel and half-shekel, called the beka, though thb 
 point is disputed. The standard or sacred shekel was kept in the sanc- 
 tuary, and by this the coinage was regulated. 
 
 (47)

 HISTORY OF COINS AND DENOMINATIONS OF MONEY USED IN THE BIBLE. 
 
 Afterward followed the subdivision of the shekel, and we find men- 
 tioned the fourth part, to which the name zuzah has been given; and 
 the twentieth part, called the c/erah, which last was of copper. 
 
 Demetrius Philometer. Syracuse. 
 
 For large amounts, the maneh, equal to sixty shekels, was used; and 
 the talent, equal to three thousand shekels. 
 
 The shekel and its multiples, the maneh and talent, were also used 
 
 Antiochns Philadelphia. Beginm. 
 
 to denominate gold value, which, during the time they were in use, "was 
 ten times that of silver. 
 
 The above are the only distinctively Jewish coins and money terms. 
 
 and are mentioned in the Bible. The chief of these are the Greek and 
 the Roman. 
 
 The drachm in Greek coinage is the unit of calculation, though the 
 
 Antony and Cleopatra, Egypt, 
 standard of value is the talent. As there is some diversity in the use 
 of the term talent, we will explain that in the Old Testament it is uni- 
 versally used to indicate the Jewish talent of 3000 shekels. Among

 Roman coinage was used very extensively in Palestine after the sub-

 in the New Testament. The Romans themselves usually reckoned by 
 sestertii up to one thousand. They, too, used the term talent, though not 
 very exactly as applied to money. Besides these, there were the dcna

 rius, of which frequent mention is made in the New Testament; the 
 quinarius, one-half denarius ; and the assarius, one-tenth denarius ; the 
 sestertius being about one-fourth the assarius. It is evident that the

 assarius was the original unit, as the names of the other coins signify 
 respectively one-fourth of an assarius and five and ten assarii. The

 Besides these systems of coinage, we find mention of some other de- 
 nominations which were current among the Jews at different periods. 
 In several passages of both the Old and New Testaments we find thu

 daric mentioned. This was a gold coin of Persia, which was current 
 after the return from Babylon. Its weight was about 128 grains, and 
 its value consequently about $3.41. It was probably the common coin

 of Persia, and made of thick pieces of pure gold, engraved as above,

 Note. — A coin, if genuine, is often the very best evidence concerning ancient persons and places, which cannot be denied or explained away. Even if they were 
 forged, in some age near the true date, they have still a value according to their antiquity. It is often found that ancient records are confirmed by coins, as for instance 
 in "he case of the port of Cenchrea, where the coin of Corinth confirms the text in Acts xviii. 1 8, and Rom. xvi. I. 
 
 The frequent allusions to burying money and treasure was confirmed as true records a few years ago by the discovery of some earthen jars in a garden at Sidon, con- 
 taining nearly 8ooo pieces of gold, the coinage of Philip of Macedon, and Alexander, his son. There were no banks or places of secure deposit, and the only safety was 
 in burying money or treasure in some secret place, as alluded to in Prov. ii. 4; and also in Jer. xli. 8, where the treasures hid were produced.

 1 The creation of heaven and earth. 14 Of the sun, moon, and stars. 
 26 Ofmanin the image of God. 29 Also the appointment of food. 
 
 IN the "beginning 6 God created the heaven and 
 the earth. 
 
 2 And the earth was without form, and void ; and 
 darkness was upon the face of the deep: "and the 
 Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 
 
 3 If ^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 f the light from the darkness. 
 
 5 And God called the light ^Day, and the dark- 
 ness he called Night : f an d the evening and the 
 morning were the first day. 
 
 6 1[ And God said, k ' Let there be a t firmament 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 wa- 
 ters which iv ere 'above the firmament : and it was so 
 
 8 And God called the firmament Heaven : and 
 the evening and the morning were the second day. 
 
 9 IF And God said, A 'Lei: the waters under the 
 heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let 
 the dry land appear : and it was so. 
 
 10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the 
 gathering together of the waters called he Seas : and 
 God saw that -it was good. 
 
 11 And God said, Let the earth 'bring forth fgrass, 
 the herb yielding seed, and the fruit-tree yielding 
 "'fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon 
 the earth : and it was so. 
 
 12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb 
 yielding seed -after his kind, and the tree yielding- 
 fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind : and 
 God saw that it was good. 
 
 13 And the evening and the morning were the 
 third day. 
 
 14 IFAnd God said, Let there be "lights in the 
 firmament of the heaven, to divide fthe day from 
 the night; and let them be for signs, and "for sea- 
 sons, and for days, and years. 
 
 15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the 
 heaven to give light upon the earth : and it was so. 
 
 16 And God ''made two great fights; the greater 
 light fto rule the day, and 'the lesser fight to rule 
 the night: he made 'the stars also. 
 
 T7 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 it was good. 
 
 19 And the evening and the morning were the 
 fourth day. 
 
 20 HAnd God said. Let the waters bring forth 
 abundantly the || moving creature that hath flife, 
 and f fowl that may fly above the earth in the | open 
 firmament of heaven. 
 
 21 And " God created great whales, and every living 
 creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth 
 abundantly after their kind, and every winged fowl 
 after his kind : and God saw that it was good. 
 
 22 And God blessed them, saying, w JBe fruitful 
 and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let 
 fowl multiply in the earth. 
 
 23 And the evening and the morning were the 
 fifth day. 
 
 24 ITAnd God said, Let the earth bring forth the 
 living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping 
 thing, and beast of the earth after his kind : and it 
 was so. 
 
 25 And God made the beast of the earth after 
 his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thin" 
 that creepeth upon the earth after his kind : and 
 God saw that it was good. 
 
 26 lAnd God said, x Let us make man in our image, 
 after our likeness : and y let them have dominion over 
 the fish of the sea, and over the fowl 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, *in the 
 image of God created he him; "male and female 
 created he them. 
 
 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto 
 them, 4 Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the 
 earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the 
 fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over 
 every living thing that f moveth upon the earth. 
 
 29 IFAnd God said, Behold, I have given you every 
 herb f bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the 
 earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a 
 tree yielding seed; c to you it shall be for meat. 
 
 30 And to d every beast of the earth, and to every 
 'fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepetn 
 upon the earth, wherein there is | life, / have given 
 every green herb for meat : and it was so. 
 
 31 And J God saw every thing that he had made : 
 and behold, it was very good. And the evening and 
 the morning were the sixth day.

 2 'And on the seventh day God ended his work 
 which he had made ; and he rested on the seventh 
 d;iy from all his work which he had made. 
 
 3 And God c blessed the seventh day, and sancti- 
 bed it : because that in it he had rested from all his 
 work which God fcreated and made. 
 
 4 f d These are the generations of the heavens and 
 of the earth when they were created, in the day that 
 the Loud 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 
 the Lord 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 the Lord God formed man f of the " dust 
 of the ground, and 'breathed into his k nostrils the 
 breath of life ; and 'man became a living soul. 
 
 8 TTAnd the Lord God planted '"a garden "east- 
 ward in "Eden; and there ''he put the man whom 
 he had formed. 
 
 9 And out of the ground made the Lord God to 
 grow v every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and 
 good for food ; 'the tree of life also in the midst of the 
 garden, J and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. 
 
 10 TTAncl a river w r ent out of Eden to water the 
 garden : and from thence it was parted, and became 
 mto four heads. 
 
 11 The name of the first is Pison : that is it which 
 compasseth "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 compasseth the whole land of. 
 tEthiopia. 
 
 14 And the name of the third river is ^Hiddekel : 
 that is it which goeth || toward the east of Assyria. 
 And the fourth river is Euphrates. 
 
 15 HAnd the Lord God took Hthe man, and *put him 
 into the garden of Eden, to dress it, and to keep it. 
 
 16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, 
 Of everv tree of the garden f thou may est 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 'fthou shalt surely die. 
 
 18 HAnd the Lord God said, It is not good that 
 the man should be alone : C I will make him an help 
 t meet for him. 
 
 19 e And out of the ground the Lord God formed 
 every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air, 
 and J brought them unto ||Adam to see what he would 
 call them; and whatsoever Adam called every living 
 creature, that was the name thereof. 
 
 20 And Adam f gave names to all cattle, and to the 
 fowl of the an, and to every beast of the field : but 
 for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. 
 
 21 HAnd the Lord 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 thereof: 
 
 22 And the rib, which the Lord God had taken 
 from man, fmade he a woman, and h brought her 
 unto the man.

 1 The serpent deceiveth Eve. 6 Man's shameful fall. 16 The punishment of 
 mankind. 22 Their casting out of paradise. 
 
 NOW ° the serpent was 'more subtile than any beast 
 of the field which the Lord God had made : and 
 he said unto the woman, f Yea, hath God said, Ye 
 shall not eat of every tree of the garden ? 
 
 2 And the woman said unto 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 unto the woman, Ye shall 
 not surely die : 
 
 5 For God doth know, that in the day ye eat 
 thereof, then e your eyes shall be opened ; and ye 
 shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. 
 
 6 HAnd when the woman saw that the tree was 
 good for food, and that it was f pleasant 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 unto 
 her husband with her, * and he did eat. 
 
 7 And A the eyes of them both were opened, 'and 
 they knew that they were naked : and they sewed 
 fig-leaves together, and made themselves || aprons. 
 
 8 And they heard Hhe voice of the Lord God 
 walking in the garden in the f cool of the day : and 
 Adam and his wife 'hid themselves from the presence 
 of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden. 
 
 9 HAnd the Lord God called unto Adam, and 
 said unto 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. 
 
 11 And he said, "Who told thee that thou wast 
 naked ? Hast thou eaten of the tree whereof I com- 
 manded thee, that thou shouldest not eat ? 
 
 12 And the man said, " The woman whom thou 
 gavest to he with me, she gave me of the tree, and I 
 did eat. 
 
 13 And the Lord God said unto the woman, What 
 is this thai thou hast done ? Aud the womaii said, 
 'The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. 
 
 14 IF And the Lord God said ^unto the serpent, 
 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 : 'it shall 
 bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. 
 
 16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly mul- 
 tiply thy sorrow and thy conception ; "in sorrow thou 
 shalt bring forth children: '"and thy desire shall be 
 || to thy husband, and he shall A rule over thee. 
 
 17 And unto Adam he said, ^Because thou hast 
 hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, s 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 ;

 2 And she again bare his brother f Abel : and Abel was 
 +a keeper of sheep, but Cain was °a tiller of the ground. 
 
 3 And jin process of time it came to pass, that 
 Cain brought * of the fruit of the ground an offering 
 unto the Lord. 
 
 4 And Abel, he also brought of c the firstlings of 
 his f flock, and of the fat thereof. And the Lord 
 had rf respect unto Abel, and to his offering: 
 
 5 But unto Cain, and to his offering, he had not 
 respect: and Cain was very wroth, e and his coun- 
 tenance fell. 
 
 G And the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou 
 wroth ? 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 || unto thee shall he his desire, and thou shalt

 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 J slew him. 
 
 9 IT And the Lord said unto Cain, 8 Where is 
 Abel thy brother ? And he said, '' I know not : Am 
 t my brother's keeper ? 
 
 10 And he said, What hast thou done ? the voice of 
 thy brother's fblood 'crieth unto me from the ground. 
 
 11 And now art thou cursed from the earth, 
 which hath opened her mouth to receive thy bro- 
 ther's blood from thy hand. 
 
 12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not 
 henceforth yield unto thee her strength : A fugitive 
 and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth. 
 
 13 And Cain said unto the Lord, ||My punish- 
 "Acnt rs greater than I can bear. 
 
 14 * Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from 
 the face of the earth; and 'from thy face shall I be 
 hid ; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the 
 earth; and it shall come to pass, m that 
 that fhideth me shall slay me.

 a just man, and || perfect in his generations, awe? Noah 
 * walked with God. 
 
 10 And Noah begat three sons, 'Shem, Ham, and 
 Japheth. 
 
 11 The earth also was corrupt m before God; ami 
 the earth was "filled with violence. 
 
 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 unto Noah, ''The end of ah flesh 
 is come before me; for the earth is filled with vio' 
 lence through them : '' and behold, I will destroy 
 them || with the earth. 
 
 14 UMake thee an ark of gopher-wood: f rooms 
 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. 
 
 17 r 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 
 thing that is in the earth shall die. 
 
 18 But with thee will I establish my covenant: 
 and *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 aftei 
 their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after 
 his kind ; two of every sort " shall come unto thee, 
 to keep them alive. 
 
 21 And take thou unto thee of all food that is 
 eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it shall 
 be for food for thee, and for them. 
 
 22 w Thus did Noah; x according to all that God 
 commanded him, so did he. 
 
 CHAP. VII. 
 
 1 Noah, with his family, and the living creatures, enter the ark. 17 The 
 beginning and continuance of the flood. 
 
 AND the Lord said unto Noah, "Come thou and 
 all thy house into the ark : for Hhee have I seen 
 righteous before me in this generation. 
 
 2 Of every 'clean beast thou shalt take to thee by 
 f sevens, the male and his female : rf 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 substance that I have made will 1 
 f destroy from off the face of the earth. 
 
 5 -/And Noah did according unto all that the Lor» 
 commanded him. 
 
 6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the 
 flood of waters was upon the earth. 
 
 7 IF* And Noah went in, and his sons, and hia 
 wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, 
 because of the waters of the flood. 
 
 8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, 
 and of fowls, and of every thing that ereepeih upon 
 the earth, 
 
The world drowned. 
 
 C II A P. VIII. IX. 
 
 Noah goelh out of the ark 
 
 9 There went in two and two unto 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 the flood were upon the earth. 
 
 1 1 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 
 und forty nights. 
 
 13 In the self-same dav '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 m They, and every beast after his kind, and all 
 the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing 
 that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and 
 every fowl after his kind, every bird of every f sort. 
 
 lo And they "went in unto Noah into the ark, two 
 and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life. 
 
 1 6 And they that went in, went in male and female 
 of all flesh, "as God had commanded him: and the 
 Lord shut him in. 
 
 17 M.nd the flood was forty days upon the earth : 
 and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and 
 it Avas lift up above the earth. 
 
 18 And the waters prevailed, and were increased 
 greatly upon the earth : * and the ark went upon the 
 lace of the waters. 
 
 19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon 
 the earth: r and all the high hills that were under 
 the whole heaven were covered. 
 
 20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail : 
 and the mountains were covered. 
 
 21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth,both 
 of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creep- 
 ing thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man: 
 
 22 All in 'whose nostrils was fthe breath of life, 
 of all that was in the dry land, died. 
 
 23 And every living substance was destroyed 
 which was upon the face of the ground, both man, 
 and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of 
 the heaven; and they were destroyed from the 
 earth; and "Noah only remained alive, and they that 
 were with him in the ark. 
 
 24 '"And the waters prevailed upon the earth an 
 hundred and fifty days.

 1 The waters assua ye. 4 The ark resteth on Ararat. 18 Noah aoelh forth 
 of the ark. 20 He buildelh an altar, and offereth sacrifice. 
 
 A ND God "remembered Noah, and every living 
 -£*- thing, and all the cattle that was with him in 
 the ark : 'and God made a wind to pass over the 
 earth, and the waters assuaged. 
 
 2 c The fountains also of the deep, and the win- 
 dows of heaven were stopped, and d the rain from 
 heaven was restrained. 
 
 3 And the waters returned from off the earth 
 t continually : and after the end e of the hundred and 
 fifty days the waters were abated. 
 
 4 TFAnd the ark rested in the seventh month, on 
 the seventeenth day of the month, upon the moun- 
 tains of Ararat. 
 
 5 And the waters f decreased continually, until the 
 tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of 
 the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.

 G IFAnd it came to pass at the end of fortv days, 
 that Noah opened •/"the window of the ark which he 
 had made : 
 
 7 And he sent forth a raven, which went forth Itoand 
 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 unto him into the ark ; for 
 the waters vjere on the face of the whole earth. Then 
 he put forth his hand, and took her, and f pulled her 
 in unto 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 into 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 unto him 
 any more. 
 
 13 irAnd it came to pass in the six hundredth 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, and 
 looked, and behold, the face of the ground was dry. 
 
 14 And in the second month, on the seven and 
 twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried. 
 
 15 IFAnd God spake unto Noah, saying, 
 
 16 Go forth of the ark, *thou, and thy wife, and 
 thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee. 
 
 17 Bring forth with thee h every living thing that is 
 with thee, of all flesh, loth of fowl, 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 whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after 
 their f kinds, went forth out of the ark. 
 
 20 IFAnd Noah builded an altar unto the Lord, 
 and took of *every clean beast, and of every clean 
 fowl, and offered burnt-offerings on the altar. 
 
 21 And the Lord smelled 'a t sweet savour ; and the 
 Lord said in his heart, I will not again ™curse the ground 
 any more for man's sake; || for the "imagination of 
 man's heart is evil from his youth: "neither will I again 
 smite any more every thmg living, as I have done. 
 
 22 ''fWhile the earth remaineth, seed-time and 
 harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, 
 and 'day and night, shall not cease.

 AND God blessed Noah and his sons, and said 
 unto them, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and re- 
 plenish 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 ham!

God's covenant with Noah. 
 
 4 J But flesh with the life thereof, which is the 
 blood thereof, shall ye not eat. 
 
 5 And surely your blood of your lives will I re- 
 quire: *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. 
 
 G k Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his 
 blood be shed : 'for in the image of God made he man. 
 
 7 And you, '"be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring 
 forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein. 
 
 S HAnd God spake unto Noah, and to his sons 
 with him, saying, 
 
 9 And I, "behold, I establish "my covenant with 
 you, and with your seed after you; 
 
 10 y And with every living creature that is with 
 you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of 
 the earth with you, from all that go out of the ark, 
 to every heast of the earth. 
 
 11 And g I will establish my covenant with you; 
 neither shall all flesh be cut off any more hy the 
 waters of a flood ; neither shall there any more be 
 a flood to destroy the earth. 
 
 12 And God said, r 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 I do set '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 1 bring a cloud 
 over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: 
 
 15 And "I will i-emember 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 remember '"the everlasting 
 covenant between God and every living creature oi 
 all flesh that is upon the earth. 
 
 17 And God said unto Noah, This is the token of 
 the covenant which I have established between me 
 and all flesh that is upon the earth. 
 
 18 HAnd the sons of Noah that went forth of the 
 ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: x and Ham 
 is the father of f Canaan. 
 
 19 y These are the three sons of Noah: *and of 
 chem was the whole earth overspread 
 
 20 
 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 naked- 
 ness of his father, and told his two brethren without. 
 
 23 c And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and 
 laid it upon both then* shoulders, and went back- 
 ward, and covered the nakedness of their father: 
 and their faces were backward, and they saw not 
 their father's nakedness. 
 
 24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew 
 what his younger son had done unto him. 
 
 25 And he said, d Cursed be Canaan: 'a servant 
 of servants shall he be unto his brethren. 
 
 26 And he said, •'Blessed be the Lord God of 
 Shem ; and Canaan shall be || his servant. 
 
 27 God shall || enlarge Japheth/and he shall dwell in 
 the tents of Shem ; and Canaan shall be his servant. 
 
 28 HAnd Noah lived after the flood three hundred 
 and fifty years. 
 
 29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred 
 and fifty year? and he died.

 The generations of Noah and his sans 
 CHAP. X. 
 
 1 The generations of Noah. 8 Nimrod the first monarch. 
 
 NOW these are the generations of the sons of 
 Noah ; Shem, Ham, and Japheth : "and unto them 
 were sons born after the flood. 
 
 2 b The sons of Japheth ; Gomer, and Magog, 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 Tarshisi 
 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 nations. 
 
 6 IF 'And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, 
 and Phut, and Canaan. 
 
 7 And the sons of Cush ; Seba, and Havilah, and 
 Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha; and the sons 
 of Raamah ; Sheba, and Dedan. 
 
 8 And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a 
 mighty one in the earth. 
 
 ) He was a mighty 'hunter f before the Lord: 
 wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mightv 
 hunter before the Lord. 
 
 10 ^And the beginning of his kingdom was fBabel,and 
 Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. 
 
 11 Out of that land || went forth Asshur, and buiided 
 Nineveh, and || the city Rehoboth, and Calah, 
 
 12 And Resen between Nineveh and Calah : the 
 same is a great city. 
 
 13 And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Ananiim, and 
 Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, 
 
 14 And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, ( A out of whom 
 came Philistim,) and Caphtorim. 
 
 15 HAnd Canaan begat f Sidon 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, unto f Gaza; as thou 
 goest unto Sodom and Gomorrah, and Admah, and 
 Zeboim, even unto Lasha. 
 
 20 These are the sons of Ham, after their fami- 
 lies, after then.' tongues, in their countries, and in

 21 HUnto Shem also, the father of all the chil- 
 dren of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even 
 to him were children born. 
 
 22 The * children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, 
 and fArphaxad, and Lud, and Aram. 
 
 23 And the children of Aram ; Uz, and Hul, and 
 Gether, and Mash. 
 
 24 And Arphaxad begat f'Salah; and Salah begat 
 Eber. 
 
 25 
 
 "And unto Eber were born two sons : the 
 name of one was || Peleg, for in his days was the 
 earth divided ; and his brother's name was Joktan. 
 
 26 And Joktan begat Ahnodad, and Sheleph, and 
 Hazarmaveth, and Jerah, 
 
 27 And Had oram, and TTzal, and Diklah, 
 
 28 And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,, 
 
 29 And Ophir, and Tlavilah, and Jobab: all those 
 were the sons of Joktan. 
 
The building of Babel. 
 
 30 And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou 
 goest unto Sephar, a mount of the east. 
 
 31 These are the sons of Shem, after their families, 
 after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations. 
 
 32 "These are the families of the sons of Noah, after 
 their generations, in their nations : "and by these were 
 the nations divided in the earth after the flood.

 1 One language in the world. 3 The building of Babel. 5 The confusion 
 
 of tongues. 
 
 AND the whole earth was of one flanguage, and 
 of one fspeech. 
 
 2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed ||from 
 the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shi- 
 nar ; and they dwelt there. 
 
 3 And fthey said one to another, Go to, let us 
 make brick, and fburn them thoroughly. And they 
 had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar. 
 
 4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city, and 
 a tower, " whose top may reach unto heaven ; and let 
 us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon 
 the face of the whole earth. 
 
 5 6 And the Lord came down to see the city and 
 the tower, which the children of men builded. 
 
 6 And the Lord said, Behold, c the people is one, 
 and they have all ''one language ; and tnis they begin 
 to do : and now nothing will be restrained from them, 
 which they have imagined to do. 
 
 7 Go to, •'let us go down, and there confound their 
 language, that they may ff not understand one another's 
 speech. 
 
 8 So' the Lord 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 || Babel, * be- 
 cause the Lord did there confound the language of 
 all the earth : and from thence did the Lord scatter 
 them abroad upon the face of all the earth. 
 
 10 H' These are the generations of Shem: Shem 
 was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two 
 years after the flood : 
 
 1 1 And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five 
 hundred years, and begat sons and daughters. 
 
 12 And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years," 1 and 
 begat Salah ; 
 
 13 And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four 
 hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters. 
 
 14 And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber : 
 
 15 And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hun- 
 dred and three years, and begat sons and daughters. 
 
 16 "And Eber lived four and thirty years, and

 17 And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hun-

 Abram, Nahor, and Ilaran. 
 
 27 ITNow these are the generations of Terah : 
 Terah begat Abram, Nahor. and liaran : and Ilaran 
 begat Lot. 
 
 28 And Haran died before his father Terah in the 
 land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees. 
 
 29 And Abram and Nahor took them wives : the 
 name of Abram's wife was ' Sarai ; and the name of 
 Nahor's wife 'Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the 
 father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah. 
 
 30 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 a Ur of the Chaldees, to go into v the 
 land of Canaan ; and they came unto Haran, and 
 dwelt there. 
 
 32 And the days of Terah were two hundred and 
 five years : and Terah died in Haran. 
 
 CHAP. XII. 
 
 1 God calleth Abram, and blesselh him with the promise of Christ. C Hi 
 journey eth through Canaan. 10 He is driven by a famine into Egypt. 
 
 NOW the "Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee 
 out of thy country, and from thv kindred, and 
 from thy father's house, unto a land tWt I will shew 
 thee : 
 
 2 6 And I Avill make of thee a great nation/ and 1 
 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 the Lord had spoken unto 
 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 substance that they had 
 
 fathered, and 8 the souls that they had gotten A in 
 laran; 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 unto the 
 place of Sichem, *unto the plain of Moreh. 'And the 
 Canaanite was then in the land. 
 
 7 '"And the Lord appeared unto Abram, and said, 
 "Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded 
 he an "altar unto the Lord, who appeared unto him. 
 
 8 And he removed from thence unto a mountain 
 on the east of Beth-el, and pitched his tent, having 
 Beth-el on the west, and Hai on the east : and there 
 he budded an altar unto the Lord, and '' called upon 
 the name of the Lord. 
 
 9 And Abram journeyed, f going on still toward 
 the south. 
 
 10 HAnd there was r a famine in the land • and 
 'Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there . for 
 the famine was 'grievous in the land. 
 
 11 And it came to pass, w 7 hen he was come rear 
 to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife. 
 Behold now, I know that thou art "a fair woman to 
 look upon : 
 
 12 Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyp- 
 tians shall see thee, that they shall say,This is his wife: 
 and they w will kill me, but they will save thee alive. 
 
 13 x Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it 
 may be well with me for thy sake ; and my soul shaU 
 live because of thee. 
 
 16 
 
Abram and Lot return from Egypt. 
 
 14 HAnd it came to pass, that when Abram was 
 come into Egypt, the P^gyptians "beheld the woman 
 that she was very fair. 
 
 15 The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and com- 
 mended her before Pharaoh : and the woman was 
 'taken into Pharaoh's house. 
 
 16 And he "entreated Abram well for her sake: and 
 he had sheep, and oxen, and he-asses, and men-ser- 
 vants, and maid-servants, and she-asses, and camels. 
 
 17 And the Lord b plagued Pharaoh and his house 
 with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram's wife. 
 
 18 And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, c What 
 is this that thou hast done unto 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 me to wife : now therefore behold 
 thy wife, take her, and go thy way. 
 
 2*0 ''And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning 
 him : and they sent him away, and his wife, and all 
 that he had.

 1 ibram and Lot return out of Egypt. 14 God renewelh the. promise to 
 Abram. 18 He removeth to Hebron, and there buildeth an altar. 
 
 AND Abram went up out of Egypt, ho, and his 
 wife, and all that he had, and Lot \\ ith him, 
 'into the south. 
 
 2 *And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, 
 and in gold. 
 
 3 And he went on his journeys c frtJi the south 
 even to Beth-el, unto the place where his tent had 
 been at the beginning, between Beth-el and Hai ; 
 
 4 Unto the ''place of the altar, which he had made 
 there at the first: and there Abram e called on the 
 name of the Lord. 
 
 5 HAnd Lot also, which went with Abram, had 
 {locks, 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 herdmen of Lot's cattle : 
 *and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then 
 in the land. 
 
 8 And Abram said unto Lot, ' Let there be no strife, 
 I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my 
 herdmen and thy herdmen ; for we be fbrethren. 
 
 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 his eyes, and beheld all '"the 
 plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every 
 where, before the Lord "destroyed Sodom and Go- 
 morrah, "even as the garden of the Lord, like the 
 land of Egypt, as thou comest unto p Zoar. 
 
 11 Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan ; 
 and Lot journeyed east : and they separated them- 
 selves the one from the other. 
 
 12 Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and 
 Lot i dwelled in the cities of the plain, and 'pitched 
 his tent toward Sodom. 
 
 13 But the men of Sodom 'were wicked, and 'sin- 
 ners before the Lord exceedingly. 
 
 14 HAnd the Lord said unto Abram, after that 
 Lot * was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, 
 and look from the place where thou art, w northward, 
 <i,nd southward, and eastward, and westward :

 CHAP. XIV. 
 
 1 The battle of the kings. 12 Lot is taken prisoner. 18 Melchizedek blesseth 
 Abram. 20 Abram giveth him tithe. 
 
 AND it came to pass, in the days of Amraphel 
 king "of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedor- 
 laomer king of 'Elam, and Tidal king of nations ; 
 
 2 That these made war with Bera king of Sodom, 
 and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of 
 "Adman, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the 
 king of Bela, which is d Zoar. 
 
 3 All these were joined together in the vale of 
 Siddim, 'which is the salt sea. 
 
 4 Twelve years Ahey served Chedorlaomer, and 
 in the thirteenth year they rebelled. 
 
 5 And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer 
 and the kings that were with him, and smote g the 
 Rephaims A in Ashteroth Karnaim, and 'the Zuzims 
 in Ham, *and the Emims in ||ShavehKiriathaim, 
 
 6 'And the Horites in their mount Seir, unto 
 || El-paran, which is by the wilderness. 
 
 7 And they returned, and came to En-mishpai, 
 which is Kadesh, and smote all the country of the 
 Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that dwelt m 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, (the same ** 
 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 Amraphel king of Shinar, 
 and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings with five. 
 
 10 And the vale of Siddim was full of " slime-pits ; 
 and the kings of Sodom, and Gomorrah fled, and fell 
 there : and they that remained fled "to the mountain. 
 
 11 And they took ''all the goods of Sodom and Go- 
 morrah, and all their victuals, and went their Avay. 
 
 12 And they took Lot, Abram's 'brother's son, 
 r who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed. 
 
 13 TFAnd there came one that liad escaped, and told 
 Abram the Hebrew; for *he dwelt in the plain ol 
 Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brothei 
 of Aner: 'and these were confederate with Abram. 
 
 14 And when Abram heard that " his brother was 
 taken captive, he || armed his || trained servants, "'born 
 in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and 
 pursued them ^unto Dan. 
 
 15 And he divided himself against them, he and 
 his servants, by night, and y smote them, and pursuer 1 
 them unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of Da- 
 mascus. 
 
 16 And he brought back *all the goods, and also

 18 And ''Melehizedek king of Salem brought forth 
 bread and wine: and he was e the priest of J the most 
 high God. 
 
 19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram 
 of the most high God/' possessor of heaven and earth : 
 
 20 And * blessed be the most high God, which hath 
 delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he 
 gave him tithes ' of all. 
 
 21 And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give 
 me the f persons, and take the goods to thyself. 
 
 22 And Abram said to the king of Sodoin,Phave 
 lifted up my band unto the Lord, the most high God, 
 'the possessor of heaven and earth, 
 
 23 That '"I will not take from a thread even to a 
 moe-latchet, and that I will not take any thing that 
 is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram 
 rich : 
 
 24 Save only that which the young men have eaten, 
 and the portion of the men "which went with me, Aner, 
 Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion. 
 
 CHAP. XV. 
 
 1 God encourageth Abram, 4 promiseth him a son, and a multiplying of 
 his seed. 6 Abram is justified by faith. 7 Canaan is promised, and 
 confirmed by a vision. 
 
 AFTER these things the word of the Lord came 
 unto Abram "in a vision, saying, *Fear not, 
 Abram: I am thy 'shield, and thy exceeding ''great 
 reward. 
 
 2 And Abram said, Lord God, what wilt thou 
 give me, e seeing I go childless, and the steward of 
 my house is 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 the Lord came unto him, 
 saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that s shall 
 come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir. 
 
 5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, 
 Look now toward heaven, and ''tell the 'stars, if thou 
 be able to number them : and he said unto him, k So 
 shall thy seed be. 
 
 6 And he 'believed in the Lord; and he '"counted 
 it to him for righteousness. 
 
 7 And he said unto him, I am the Lord that 
 "brought thee out of °Ur of the Chaldees, Ho give 
 thee this land to inherit it. 
 
 8 And he said. Lord God, q whereby shall I know 
 that I shall inherit it ? 
 
 9 And he said unto him, Take 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 lie took unto him all these, and r divided 
 them in the midst, and laid each piece one against 
 another : . but * the birds divided he not. 
 
 11 And when the fowls came down upon the car- 
 casses, Abram drove them away. 
 
 12 And when the sun was going down, 'a deep 
 Bleep fell upon Abram ; and lo, a liorror of great 
 darkness fell upon him. 
 
 13 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety 
 "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, 
 c will I judge: and afterward y shall they come out 
 with great substance. 
 
 15 And Hhou shalt go fl to thy fathers in peace; 
 'thou shalt be buried in a good old age.

 2 ''And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the 
 Lord "hath restrained me from bearing: I pray J thee 
 go in unto my maid; it may be that 1 may fobtain 
 children by her. And Abram s 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 TTAnd he went in unto Hagar, and she con- 
 ceived : and when she saw that she had conceived, 
 her mistress was 'despised in her eyes. 
 
 5 And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong be upon 
 thee : I have given my maid into thv bosom ; and 
 when she saw that she had conceived,! was despised 
 in her eyes : *the Lord judge between me and thee. 
 
 6 'But Abram said unto Sarai, "'Behold, thy maid 
 is in thy hand ; do to her fas it pleaseth thee. And 
 when Sarai f dealt hardly with her, " she fled from 
 her face. 
 
 7 TTAnd the Angel of the Lord found her by a 
 fountain of water in the wilderness, "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 the Lord said unto her, Return 
 to thy mistress, and q submit thyself under her hands. 
 
 10 And the angel of the Lord said unto her, r l 
 will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not 
 be numbered for multitude. 
 
 11 And the Angel of the Lord said unto her, Be- 
 hold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, 'and 
 shalt call his name || Ishmael; because the Lord 
 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 the Lord that 
 spake unto her, Thou God seest me : for she said, 
 Have I also here looked after him x that seeth me?

 I God Teneweth the covenant. 10 Circumcision is instituted. 10 Isaac is

 AND when Abram was ninety years old and 
 nine, the Lokd "appeared to Abram, and said 
 unto him, ''law the Almighty God; f walk before 
 me, and be thou !| ''perfect. 
 
 2 And I will make my covenant between me and 
 thee, and e will multiply thee exceedingly. 
 
 3 And Abram -'fell on his face : and God talked 
 with him, saying, 
 
 4 As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, 
 and thou shalt be s a father of finally nations. 
 
 5 Neither shall thy name any more be called 
 Abram; but ''thy name shall be || Abraham: 'for a 
 father of many nations have I made thee. 
 
 6 And I will make thee exceedingly fruitful, and 
 
 I will make * nations of thee; and 'kings shall come 
 out of thee. 
 
 7 And I will ""establish my covenant between 
 me and thee, and thy seed after thee, in their 
 generations, for an everlasting covenant; "to be a 
 God unto thee, and to "thy seed after thee. 
 
 8 And J 'I will give unto thee, and to thy seed 
 after thee, the land f 7 wherein thou art a stranger, 
 all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession ; 
 and r I will be then God. 
 
 9 II And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt 
 keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed 
 after thee, in their generations. 
 
 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 
 betwixt me and you. 
 
 12 And fhe that is eight days old "shall be cir- 
 cumcised among you, every man-child in your gene- 
 rations, he that is born in the house, or bought with 
 money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed. 
 
 13 He that is born in thy house, and he that is 
 bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised : 
 and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an ever- 
 lasting covenant. 
 
 14 And the uncircumcised man-child, whose 
 flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul 
 '"shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken 
 my covenant. 
 
 15 II And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai 
 thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but 
 
 II Sarah shall her r.ame be. 
 
 16 And I will bless her, x and give thee a son also 
 of her : yea, I will bless her, and fshe shall be a 
 mother y of nations; kings of people shall be of her. 
 
 17 Then Abraham fell upon his face. z and laughed, 
 and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him 
 that is an hundred years old ? and shall Sarah, that 
 is ninety years old, bear ? 
 
 18 And Abraham said unto God, that Ishmael 
 miajht 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 covenant, and with his seed after him. 
 
 20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee : Behold, 
 [ have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and 
 
 will multiply him exceedingly: "twelve princes 
 shall he beget, ''and I will make him a great nation.

 went up from Abraham. 
 
 "23 lIAnd 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 unto 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 ivas thirteen years old, 
 when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. 
 
 26 In the self-same day was Abraham circum- 
 cised, and Ishmael his son ; 
 
 27 And •'all the men of his house, born in the 
 house, and bought with money of the stranger,

 1 Abraham cntertaineth three angels. 17 The destruction of Sodom it 
 revealed to Abraham. 
 
 AND the Lord appeared unto him in the "plains 
 of Mamre : and he sat in the tent-door in the 
 heat of the day ; 
 
 2 *And he lifted up his eyes and looked, and lo. 
 three men stood by him: c and when he saw than, 
 he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed 
 himself toward the ground, 
 
 3 And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in 
 thy sight, pass not away,Ipray thee,from thy servant: 
 
 4 Let '^a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and 
 wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree : 
 
 5 And e I will fetch a morsel of bread, and ] J com- 
 fort 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 unto Sarah, 
 and .sail, tMake ready quickly three measures of 
 fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth. 
 
 7 And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetched 
 a calf tender and good, and gave it unto a young 
 man; and he hasted to dress it. 
 
 8 And ''he took butter, and milk, and the 
 which he had dressed, and set it before them ; 
 he stood by them under the tree, and they did 
 
 9 TIAnd they said unto him. Where is Sarah 
 wife? And he said, Behold, '"in the tent. 
 
 10 And he said, I fc will certainly return unto 
 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 well 
 stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah 
 "after the manner of women. 
 
 12 Therefore Sarah 'laughed within herself, say- 
 ing, 'After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, 
 my 'lord being old also? 
 
 13 And the Lord said unto Abraham, Wherefore

 14 'Is any thing too hard for the Lord? At the

 to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.

 16 II And the men rose up from thence, and 
 looked toward Sodom • and Abraham went with 
 them " to bring them on the way. 
 
 1 1 And the Lord said, n Shall I hide from Abra- 
 ham that thing which [ do; 
 
 18 Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a 
 great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the 
 earth slmll be a blessed in him? 
 
 19 For I know him, y that he will command his 
 children and his household after him, and they shall 
 keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judg- 
 ment; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that 
 which he hath spoken ot him. 
 
 20 And the Lord said, Because z the cry of Sodom 
 and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is 
 very grievous, 
 
 ^1 "I will go down now, and see whether they 
 have done altogether according to the cry of it, 
 which is come unto me; and if not, 6 I will know. 
 
 22 And the men turned their faces from thence, 
 r and went toward Sodom: but Abraham ''stood yet 
 before the Lord. 
 
 23 11 And Abraham 'drew near, and said, •'"Wilt 
 thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked? 
 
 24 * Peradventure there 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 the Lord 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 unto the Lord, 
 which am m but dust and ashes: 
 
 28 Peradventure there shall 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 spake unto him yet again, and said, 
 Peradventure there shall, be forty found there. 
 And he said, I will not do it for forty's sake. 
 
 30 And he said unto him, Oh, let not the Lord 
 be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there 
 shall thirty be 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 unto the Lord: Peradventure there 
 shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will 
 not destroy it for twenty's sake. 
 
 32 And ho said, " Oh, let not the Loud be angry, 
 and I will speak } et but this once ; Peradventure 
 ten shall be found there. "And he said, I will not 
 destroy it for ten's sake. 
 
 33 And the Lord went his way, as soon as he 
 had left communing with Abraham : and Abraham 
 returned unto his place.

 77/<" Sodomites stricken bhna 
 
 2 And he said, Behold now, my lords, 'turn in, 
 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 ways. And they said, 'Nav: 
 but we will abide in the street all night. 
 
 3 And he pressed upon them greatly; and they 
 turned in unto him, and entered into his house; -'and 
 he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened 
 bread, and they did eat. 
 
 4 IBut before they lay down, the men of the city, 
 even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, 
 both old and young, all the people from every quarter : 
 
 5 A And they called unto Lot, and said unto him. 
 Where are the men which came in to thee this night? 
 ''bring them out unto us, that we 'may know them. 
 
 6 And A Lot w T ent out at the door unto them, and 
 shut the door after him, 
 
 7 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so 
 Avickedly. 
 
 8 'Behold now, I have two daughters which have 
 not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them 
 out unto you, and do ye to them as is good m your 
 eyes: only unto these men do nothing; "'for there- 
 fore came they under the shadow of my roof. 
 
 9 And they said, Stand back. And they said 
 again, This one fellow "came in to sojourn, "and he 
 will needs be a judge : now will we deal Avorse with 
 thee than Avith them. And they pressed sore 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 to the door. 
 
 11 And they smote the men -''that tvere at the door 
 of the house with blindness, both small and great, 
 so that they wearied themselves to find the door. 
 
 12 IT And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here 
 any besides? son-in-law, and thy sons, and thy 
 daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, 
 'bring them out of this place: 
 
 13 For Ave will destroy this place, because the 
 r cry of them is Avaxen great before the face of the 
 Lord ; and * the Lord hath sent us to destroy it. 
 
 14 And Lot Avent out, and spake unto his sons- 
 in-law, 'AAdiich married his daughters, and said, "Up, 
 get you out of this place ; for the Lord Avill destroy 
 this city: a 'but he seemed as one that mocked unto 
 his sons-in-laAV. 
 
 15 HAnd when the morning arose, then the 
 
 angels hastened Lot, saying, 'J Arise, take thy Avife, 
 and thy tAVO daughters Avhich f are here, lest thou 
 be consumed in the || iniquity 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 tw r o daughters; a the Lord 
 being merciful unto him; *and they brought him 
 forth, and set him Avithout the city. 
 
 17 IT And it came to pass, Avhen 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. 
 
 18 And Lot said unto them, Oh, e not so, my Lord ! 
 
 19 Behold iioav, thy servant hath found grace in 
 thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which 
 thou hast sliOAved unto me m saving my life : and I 
 cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evd take 
 me, and I die : 
 
 20 Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, 
 and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither' 
 (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live. 
 
 19 
 
Sodom and Gomorrah, destroyed. 
 
 21 And he said unto him, See,-1 have accepted 
 fthee concernir.g this thing also, that I will not 
 overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken. 
 
 22 Haste thee, escape thither; for* I cannot do 
 any thing till thou be come thither. Therefore ''the 
 name of the city was called || Zoar. 
 
 23 IT The sun was f risen upon the earth when 
 Lot entered into Zoar. 
 
 24 Then 'the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon 
 Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord 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 i But his wife looked back from behind him, 
 and she became 'a pillar of salt. 
 
 27 II And Abraham gat up early in the morning 
 to the place where '"he stood before the Lord: 
 
 28 And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, 
 and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, 
 and, lo, "the smoke of the country went up as the 
 smoke of a furnace. 
 
 29 II And it came to pass, when God destroyed 
 the cities of the plain, that God "remembered Abra- 
 ham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, 
 when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt. 
 
 30 IF And Lot went up out of Zoar, and p dwelt 
 in the mountain, and his two daughters 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 unto the younger, Our 
 father is old, and there is not a man in the earth 'to 
 come in unto us after the manner of all the earth : 
 
 •?2 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and 
 we will lie with him, that we r 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 perceived not when she lay down, 
 nor when she arose. 
 
 34 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the 
 first-born said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yester- 
 night with my father : let us make him drink wine 
 this night also ; and go thou in, and lie with 
 that we may preserve seed of our father. 
 
 35 And' they made their father drink wine 
 night also: and the younger arose, and lay 
 him ; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor 
 when she arose. 
 
 36 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child 
 by their father. 
 
 37 And the first-born bare a son, and called his 
 name Moab : 'the same is the father of the Moabites 
 unto this day. 
 
 38 And the younger, she also, bare a son, and 
 called his name Ben-ammi : ' the same is the father 
 of the children of Ammon unto this day.

 Abimelech reproved by God. 
 
 man, for the woman which thou hast taken ; for she 
 is f a man's wife. 
 
 4 But Abimelech had not come near her : and he 
 said, Lord, 'wilt thou slay also a righteous nation? 
 
 5 Said he not unto me, She is my sister? ami 
 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 unto him in a dream, Yea, I 
 know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy 
 heart; for 'I also withheld thee from sinning "'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 restore her not, "know thou 
 that thou shalt surely die, thousand all that are thine 
 
 8 Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morn- 
 ing, and called all his servants, and told all these 
 
 nngs in their ears : and the men were sore afraid. 
 
 9 Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto 
 him, What hast thou done unto us ? and what have 
 I offended thee, 'that thou hast brought on me and 
 on my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done deeds 
 unto me 'that ought not to be done. 
 
 10 And Abimelech said unto 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 ^God caused me 
 to wander from my father's house, that I said unto 
 her, This is thy kindness which thou shalt .shew 
 unto me; at every place whither we shall come, 
 y say of me, He is my brother. 
 
 14 And Abimelech 2 took sheep, and oxen, and 
 men-servants, and women-servants, and gave them 
 unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife. 
 
 15 And Abimelech said. Behold, °my land is be- 
 fore thee : dwell f where it pleaseth thee. 
 
 16 And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given 
 Hhy brother a thousand pieces of silver : f behold, he 
 is to thee rf a covering of the eyes, unto all that are with 
 thee, and with all other: thus she was reproved. 
 
 17 T"So Abraham "prayed unto God: and God 
 healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maid-ser- 
 vants ; and they bare children. 
 
 18 For the Lord ■'had fast closed up all the wombs 
 of the house Oi Abimelech, because of Sarah Abra- 
 ham's wife.

 1 Isaac is born. 4 Re is circumcised. 9 Hagar and Ishmael are cast 
 
 forth. 
 
 AND the Lord "visited Sarah as he had said, and 
 the Lord did unto Sarah "as he had spoken. 
 
 2 For Sarah c conceived, and bare Abraham 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 unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, e Isaac. 
 
 4 And Abraham •'circumcised his son Isaac, being 
 eight davs old, "as God had commanded him. 
 
 5 And ^Abraham was an hundred years old, when 
 his son Isaac was born unto him. 
 
 6 1" And Sarah said, 'God hath made me to laugh, 
 so that all that hear *will laugh with me. 
 
 zu 
 
Flayar and hhmael cast forth 
 
 7 And she said, Who would have said unto Abra- 
 ham, that Surah should have given children suck? 
 
 for I have born 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 IT And Sarah saw the son of Hagar m the Egyp- 
 tian, "which she had born unto Abraham, "mocking. 
 
 1 Wherefore she said unto 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 q because of his son. 
 
 12 If And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be 
 grievous in thy sight, because of the lad, and be- 
 cause of thy bond-woman ; in all that Sarah hath 
 said unto thee, hearken unto 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 bottle of water, and gave it 
 unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the 
 child, and 'sent her away: and she departed, and 
 wandered in the wilderness of Beer-sheba. 
 
 15 And the water was spent in the bottle, and 
 she cast the child under one of the shrubs. 
 
 16 And she went, and sat her 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 Mm, and lift 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 unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar ? Fear not; 
 for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is. 
 
 18 Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine 
 hand ; for w I will make him a great nation. 
 
 19 And a 'God opened her eyes, and she saw a 
 well of water ; and she went, and filled the bottle 
 with water, and gave the lad drink. 
 
 20 And God y was with the lad ; and he grew, and 
 dwelt in the wilderness, = and became an archer. 
 
 21 And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran : and 
 his mother "took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.

 'Abimelech and Phichol 
 host spake unto Abraham, 
 in all that thou doest : 
 
 23 Now therefore d swear unto me here by God 
 f that thou wilt not deal falsely with u/e, nor with my 
 son, nor with my son's son: but according to the kind- 
 ness that I have clone unto thee, thou shalt do unto 
 me, and to the laud wherein thou hast sojourned. 
 
 24 And Abraham said, I will swear. 
 
 25 And Abraham reproved Abimelech because 
 of a well of water, which Abimelech's servants e had 
 violently taken away. 
 
 26 And Abimelech said, I wot not who hath done 
 this thing : neither didst thou tell me, neither yet 
 heard I of it, but to-day. 
 
 27 And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave 
 them unto Abimelech; and both of them -/'made a 
 covenant.

 1 Abraham is tempted to offer Isaac. 3 He givelh proof of his faith and 
 
 obedience. 
 
 AND it came to pass after these things, that ° God 
 did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abra- 
 ham : and he said, f Behold, here I am. 
 
 2 And he said, Take now thy son, b thine only son 
 Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee c into the land 
 of Moriah ; and offer him there for a burnt-offering 
 upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of! 
 
 3 HAnd Abraham rose up early in the morning, 
 and saddled his ass, and took two of his } r oung men 
 with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for

 the burnt-offering, and rose up, ana went unto 
 
 tne 
 
 II That is, 
 The Lord 
 will see, or, 
 provide. 
 
 place of which God had told him. 
 
 4 Then on the third day Abraham lifted up hib 
 eyes, and saw the place afar off. 
 
 5 And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide 
 ye here with the ass ; and I and the lad will go yon 
 der 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 together. 
 
 7 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and 
 said, My father: and he said, fHere 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 offering : so they went 
 both of them together. 
 
 9 And they came to the place which God had 
 told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and 
 laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, 
 and e 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 the Lord called unto him 
 out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham : and 
 he said, Here am I. 
 
 12 And he said, •'Lay not thine hand upon the 
 lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for *now 
 I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast 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 offered 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 the Lord it shall be seen. 
 
 I 15 IFAnd the anjrel of the Lord called unto Abra- 
 I ham out of heaven the second time, 
 
 21 
 
Sarahs age and death. 
 
 16 And said, ''By myself have 1 sworn, saith the 
 Lf'RDj for because thou hast done this thing, and 
 hast no* vithheld thy son, thine only son: 
 
 17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multi- 
 plying 1 will multiply thy seed 'as the stars of the hea- 
 ven, *and as the sand which is upon the sea-fshore; 
 and 'thy seed shall possess '"the s>ate of his enemies; 
 
 18 "And in thy seed shall all the nations of the 
 earth be blessed ; "because thou hast obeyed my voice. 
 
 19 So Abraham returned unto his young men, 
 and they rose up and went together to p Beer-sheba ; 
 and Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba. 
 
 20 ITAnd it came to pass after these things, that 
 it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, 'Milcah, she 
 hath also born children unto thy brother Nahor ; 
 
 21 r Huz his first born, and Buz his brother, and 
 Kemuel the father * of Aram, 
 
 22 And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and 
 Jidlaph, and Bethuel. 
 
 23 And 'Bethuel begat "Rebekah: these eight 
 Milcah did bear to Nahor, Abraham's brother. 
 
 24 And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, 
 she bare also Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, 
 and Maachah.

 1 The age and death of Sarah. 3 The purchase of Machpelah. 
 
 AND Sarah was an 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 inourn for Sarah, and to weep for her. 
 
 3 ITAnd Abraham stood up from, before his dead, 
 and spake unto the sons of Heth, saying, 
 
 4 e I am a stranger and a sojourner with you: 
 *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 unto him, 
 
 6 Hear us, my lord : thou art f c a mighty prince 
 among us : in the choice of our sepulchres bury thy 
 dead ; none of us shall withhold from thee his sepul- 
 chre, but that thou mayest bury thy dead. 
 
 7 And Abraham stood up, and bowed himself to 
 the people of the land, even to the children of Heth. 
 
 8 And he communed 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 he may give me the cave of Machpelah, 
 which he hath, which is in the end of his field ; for 
 f as much money as it is worth he shall give it me 
 for a possession of a burying-place amongst you. 
 
 10 And Ephron dwelt among the children of 
 Heth. And Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham 
 in the f audience of the children of Heth, even of 
 all that Avent in at the gate of his city, saying, 
 
 11 *Nay, my lord, hear me : the field give I thee, 
 and the cave that is therein, I give it thee ; in the 
 presence of the sons of my people give I it thee : 
 bury thy dead. 
 
 1 2 And Abraham bowed down himself before the 
 people of the land. 
 
 13 And he spake unto Ephron in the audience of the 
 people of the land, saying, But if thou wilt give it, 1 
 pray thee, hear me : I will give thee money for the 
 field; take it of me, and I will bury my dead there.

 four hundred ''shekels of silver; what is that betwixt 
 me and thee? bury therefore thy dead.

 had named in the audience of the sons of Heth, four 
 hundred shekels of silver, current money with the 
 merchant.

 in at the gate of his city.

 1 Abraham sweareth his servant; 12 his prayer ; 14 his sign. 15 Rebekah 
 meetelh him, 18 and fulfiUe/h his sigii.. 34 The servant sheweth his mes-

 AND Abraham "Avas old, and fwell stricken in 
 age: and the Lord 'had blessed Abraham in 
 all things. 
 
 2 And' Abraham said c unto his eldest servant of 
 his house, that ''ruled over all that he had, e Put, ] 
 pray thee, thy hand under my thigh : 
 
 3 And I Avill make thee -/'swear by the Lord, the 
 God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that ^thou 
 shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters 
 of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell : 
 
 4 ''But thou shalt go 'unto my country, and to 
 my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac. 
 
 5 And the servant said unto him, Peradventure 
 the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this 
 land : must I needs bring thy son again unto the 
 land from whence thou earnest? 
 
 6 And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou 
 that thou bring not my son thither again. 
 
 7 IT The Lord God of heaven, which Hook me 
 from my father's house, and from the land of my 
 kindred, and Avhich spake unto me, and that sware 
 unto me, saying, 'Unto thy seed will I give this 
 land ; "'he shall send his angel before thee, and thou 
 shalt take a wife unto my son from thence. 
 
 8 And if the woman will not be willing to follow 
 thee, then " thou shalt be clear from this my oath ; 
 only bring not my son thither again. 
 
 9 And the servant put his hand under the thigh 
 of Abraham his master, and sware to him concerning 
 that matter. 
 
 10 ITAnd the servant took ten camels, of the 
 camels of his master, and departed, " || for all the 
 goods of his master ivere in his hand : and he arose, 
 and went to Mesopotamia, unto "the city of Nahor. 
 
 11 And he made his camels to kneel down with 
 out the city by a well of water at the time of the 
 evening, even the. time fthat women go out to draw 
 water : 
 
 12 And he said, '"O Lord God of my Lia^tei

 Abraham, I pray thee, 'send me good speed this

 13 Behold, 'I stand here, by the well of water; 
 and "the daughters of the men of the eity come 
 out to draw water : 
 
 14 And let it come to pass, that the damsel to 
 whom T 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 that thou hast appointed for thy servant 
 Isaac ; and w thereby shall I know that thou hast 
 shewed kindness unto my master. 
 
 1 5 H And it came to pass, before he had done speak- 
 ing, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born 
 to Bethuel, son of r Milcah, the Avife of Nahor, Abra- 
 ham's brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder. 
 
 16 And the damsel y was f very 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 of 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 ivater for thy camels also, 
 until they have done drinking. 
 
 20 And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher 
 into the trough, and ran again unto the well to 
 draw water, and drew for all his camels. 
 
 21 And the man wondering at her held his 
 peace, to wit whether "the Lord had made his jour- 
 ney prosperous or not.

 33 And there was set meai before him to eat: 
 but he said, '1 will not cat, until I have told mine 
 errand. And he said, Speak on. 
 
 34 And he said, I am Abraham's servant. 
 
 35 And the Lord '"hath blessed my master 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 "bare a sou to 
 my master when she was old : and "unto him hath 
 he given all that he hath. 
 
 37 And my master /'made me swear, saying, 
 Thou shalt not take a wife to my son of the daugh- 
 ters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell : 
 
 38 'But thou shalt go unto my father's house, 
 and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son. 
 
 39 r And I said unto my master, Perad venture 
 the woman will not follow me. 
 
 40 'And he said unto me, The Lord, 'before whom 
 I walk, will send his angel with thee, and prosper 
 thy way ; and thou shalt take a wife for my son 
 of my kindred, and of my father's house : 
 
 41 "Then shalt thou be clear from this my oath, 
 when thou comest to my kindred ; and if they 
 not thee one, thou shalt be clear from my oath. 
 
 42 And I came this day unto the well, and 
 ! "0 Lord God of my master Abraham, if now 
 do prosper my way which 1 go : 
 
 43 x Behold, I stand by the well of water ; 
 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 1 
 will also draw for thy camels : let the same be the 
 woman whom the Lord hath appointed out for my 
 master's son. 
 
 45 y And before I had done x speaking in mine 
 heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher 
 on her shoulder; and 6he went down unto the 
 well, and drew water : and I said unto her, Let mo 
 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 bare unto him : and J 
 "put the ear-ring upon her face, and the bracelets 
 upon her hands. 
 
 48 b And I bowed down my head, and worshipped 
 the Lord, and blessed the Lord God of my master 
 Abraham, which had led me in the right way to 
 take c my master's brother's daughter unto his son. 
 
 49 And now if ye will ''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 the Lord: we cannot 
 •'"speak unto thee bad or good. 
 
 51 Behold, Rebekah e is before thee, take her } 
 and go, and let her be thy master's son's wife, as 
 the Lord hath spoken. 
 
 52 And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's 
 servant heard their words, he "worshipped the 
 bowina himself to the earth.

 53 And the servant brought forth f 'jewels of sil-

 to Rebekah : he gave also to her brother and to her 
 mother * precious things. 
 
 54 And they did eat and drink, he and the men 
 that were with him, and tarried all night ; and they 
 rose up in the morning, and he said, 'Send me away 
 unto my master. 
 
 55 And her brother and her mother said, Let the 
 damsel abide with us || a few days, at the least ten; 
 after thnt she shall go. 
 
 56 And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing 
 the Lord hath prospered my way; send me away, 
 that I may go to my master. 
 
 57 And they said, We will call the damsel, and 
 enquire at her mouth. 
 
 08 And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, 
 Wilt thou go with this man ? And she said, I will 
 
 59 And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and 
 m her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men. 
 
 00 And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, 
 Thou art our sister, be thou "the mother of thousands 
 of millions, and "let thy seed possess the gate of those 
 which hate them. 
 
 61 ITAnd Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they 
 rode upon the camels, and followed the man : and 
 the servant took Rebekah, and went his Avay. 
 
 62 And Isaac came from the way of the /; well 
 Lahai-roi; for he dwelt in the south country. 
 
 63 And Isaac went out || ? to meditate in the field 
 at the even-tide : and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, 
 and, behold, the camels were coming. 
 
 64 And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when 
 she saw Isaac, 'she lighted off the camel. 
 
 65 For she had said unto the servant, What man 
 & 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.

 tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; 
 and he loved her : and Isaac * was comforted after 
 his mother's death.

 he f died 7 in the presence of all his brethren. 
 
 19 IF, And these are the generations of Isaac, 
 Abraham's son : 'Abraham begat Isaac : 
 
 20 And Isaac was forty years old when he took 
 Rebekah to wife, * the daughter of Bethuel the Sy- 
 rian of Padan-aram, 'the sister to Laban the Syrian. 
 
 21 And Isaac entreated the Lord for his wife,

 in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be 
 separated from thy bowels : and 'the one people shall

 And Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau 
 his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt for 
 venison, and to bring it.

 15 And Rebekah took f" goodly raiment of her 
 eldest son Esau, which were with her in the house, 
 and put them upon Jacob her younger son : 
 
 16 And she put the skins of the kids of the goats 
 upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck : 
 
 17 And she gave the savoury meat and the bread, 
 which she had prepared,into the hand of her son Jacob. 
 
 18 IF And he came unto his father, and said, My fa-

 badest me : arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my 
 venison, "that thy soul may bless me. 
 
 20 And Isaac said unto his son, How is it that

 Because the Lord thy Grod brought it f to me.

 thee, that I ''may feel thee, my son, whether thou

 but the hands are the hands of Esau.

 were hairy, as his brother Esau's hands: so he 
 blessed him.

 eat of my son's venison, r that my soul may bless 
 thee. And he brought it near to him, and he did 
 eat : and he brought him wine, and he drank.

 scarce gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, 
 that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.

 said, Who ? where is he that hath f taken venison,

 rf he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry, and 
 said unto his father, Bless me, even me also, O my 
 father ! 
 
 35 And he said, Thy brother came with subtilty,

 36 And he said, e Is not he rightly named || Jacob? 
 for he hath supplanted me these two times: f hv

 in his heart, "The days of mourning for my father 
 are at hand; ''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

 11 And he lighted upon a certain place, and tar- 
 ried 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 to sleep. 
 
 12 And he ; ' dreamed, and behold a ladder set up 
 on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven : 
 and behold "the angels of God ascending and de- 
 scending on it. 
 
 13 'And, behold, the Lord stood above it, and 
 said, *I am the Lord God of Abraham thy father, 
 aud the God of Isaac : 'the land whereon 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 f spread abroad w to the west, 
 and to the east, and tc the north, and to the south : 
 and in thee and *in thy seed shall all the families 
 of the earth be blessed. 
 
 15 And, behold. 1 ' I aw with thee, and will z keep thee 
 mail places whither thou goest, and will "bring thee 
 again into this land; for b I will not leave thee, c until 
 I have done that which I have spoken to thee of. 
 
 16 HAnd Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, 
 Surely the Lord is in ''this place; and I knew it not. 
 
 17 And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful 
 is this place ! this is none other but the house of 
 God, and this is the gate of heaven. 
 
 18 And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and 
 took the stone that he had put for his pillows, and e set 
 it v])for a pillar, •'and poured oil upon the top of it. 
 
 19 And he called the name of *' that place II Beth-el: 
 hut the name of that city was called Luz at the first.

 1 Jacob comelh to the veil of Haran: 18 ]!■ covenanteth for Racket: 
 23 lie is deceived with Leah: 28 He marrieth also RacKel, and serveth 
 
 for herjseven years more. 
 
 THEN Jacob twent on his journey, "and cam* 
 into the land of the \ people 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 Avell they watered the flocks : and a 
 great stone was upon the well's mouth. 
 
 3 And thither were all the flocks gathered : 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 his place. 
 
 4 And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, 
 whence be ye ? And they said, Of Haran are we. 
 
 5 And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the 
 son of Nahor? And they said, We know him. 
 
 6 And he said unto them, j b ls he well? And 
 they said, He is well: and, behold, Rachel his 
 daughter cometh with the sheep. 
 
 7 And he said, Lo, \it is yet high day, neither 
 is it time that the cattle should be gathered toge- 
 ther: water ye the sheep, and go and feed them. 
 
 8 And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks 
 be gathered together, and till they roll the stone 
 from the well's mouth; then we water the sheep. 
 
 9 IfAnd while he yet spake with them, "Rachel 
 came with her father's sheep : for she kept them. 
 
 10 And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Bachel 
 the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the 
 sheep of Laban his mother's brother, that Jacob went 
 near, and ''rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and 
 watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother. 
 
 11 And Jacob 'kissed Rachel, and lifted up his 
 voice, and wept. 
 
 12 And Jacob told Rachel that he teas -Hier father's 
 brother, and that he teas Rebekah's son ; A 'and she 
 ran and told her father. 
 
 13 And it came to pass, when Laban heard the 
 f tidings of Jacob his sister's son, that ''he ran to 
 meet him, and embraced 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 |the 
 space of a month. 
 
 15 HAnd Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou 
 art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me 
 for nought? tell me, what shall thy wages be? . 
 
 16 And Laban had two daughters : the name of 
 the elder tons Leah, and the name of the younger 
 was Rachel. 
 
 17 Leah tvas tender-eyed; but Rachel was beau- 
 tiful and well-favoured. 
 
 18 And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, "I wid 
 serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger 
 daughter. 
 
 19 And Laban said, It is better that I give hei 
 to thee, than that I should give her to another 
 man : abide with me. 
 
 '17 
 
Jacob marricth Leah and Rachel. 
 
 120 And Jacob 'served seven years for Rachel; 
 and they seemed rnito him bat a few days, for the 
 love he had to her. 
 
 21 If And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my 
 wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may '"go in 
 unto her. 
 
 22 And Laban gathered together 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 unto her. 
 
 24 And Laban gave unto his daughter Leah, Zil- 
 pah his maid, /or an handmaid. 
 
 25 And it came to pass, that in the morning, be- 
 hold, it was Leah : and he said to Laban, What is 
 this thou hast done unto me ? did not I serve with thee 
 for Rachel? wherefore then hast thou beguiled me? 
 
 26 And Laban said, It must not be so done in our 
 country, fto 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 
 h«* gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also. 
 
 29 And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter, Bil- 
 h? h his handmaid, to be her maid. 
 
 30 And he went in also unto Rachel, and he p loved 
 also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him 
 v yet seven other years. 
 
 31 II And when the Lord r saw that Leah was 
 hated, he 'opened her womb: but Rachel was 
 barren. 
 
 32 And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she 
 called his name || Reuben : for she said, Surely the 
 Lord hath 'looked upon my affliction; now therefore 
 my husband will love me. 
 
 33 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and 
 said, Because the Lord hath heard that I zvas hated, 
 he hath therefore given me this son also : and she 
 called his name || Simeon. 
 
 34 And she conceived again, and bare a son ; and 
 said, Now this time will my husband be joined unto 
 me, because I have born him three sons : therefore 
 was his name called j| Levi. 
 
 35 And she conceived again, and bare a son : and 
 she said, Now will I praise the Lord : therefore she 
 called his name " || Judah ; and f left bearing.

 Of Reubens mandrakes, fto, 
 
 7 And Bilhah, Rachel's maid, conceived again, 
 and bare Jacob a second son. 
 
 8 And Rachel said, With f great wrestlings have 
 I wrestled with my sister, and I have prevailed : 
 and she called his name ||*Naphtali. 
 
 9 When Leah saw that she had left bearing, she 
 took Zilpah, her maid, and 'gave her Jacob to wife. 
 
 10 And Zilpah, Leah's maid, bare Jacob a son. 
 
 11 And Leah said, A troop cometh : and she 
 called his name ||Gad. 
 
 12 And Zilpah, Leah's maid, bare Jacob a second 
 son. 
 
 13 And Leah said, f Happy am I, for the daughters 
 m will call me blessed : and she called his name || Asher. 
 
 14 If And Reuben went in the days of wheat-har- 
 vest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought 
 them unto his mother Leah. Then Rachel said 
 to Leah, "Give me, I pray thee, of thy son's man- 
 drakes. 
 
 15 And she said unto 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, Therefore he shall lie with thee to-night for 
 thy son's mandrakes. 
 
 16 And Jacob came out of the field in the evening, 
 and Leah went out to meet him, and said, Thou must 
 come in unto me ; for surely I have hired thee with 
 my son's mandrakes. And he lay with her that night. 
 
 17 And God hearkened unto Leah, and she con- 
 ceived, and bare 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 || lssachar. 
 
 19 And Leah conceived again, and bare Jacob 
 the sixth son. 
 
 20 And Leah said, God hath endued me with a 
 good dowry; now will my husband dwell with me. 
 because I have born him six sons : and she called 
 his name P Zebulun. 
 
 21 And afterwards she bare a daughter, and called 
 her name || Dinah. 
 
 22 If And God 'remembered Rachel, and God 
 hearkened to her, and 'opened her womb. 
 
 23 And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, 
 God hath taken away *vay reproach : 
 
 24 And she called his name || Joseph ; and said, 
 'The Lord shall add to me another son. 
 
 25 If And it came to pass, when Rachel had born 
 Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, " Send me away, 
 that I may go unto x mine own place, and to my 
 country. 
 
 26 Give me my wives and my children/ for whom 
 1 have served thee, and let me go : for thou knowest 
 my service which I have done thee. 
 
 27 And Laban said unto him, I pray thee, if 1 
 have found favour m thine eyes, tarry : for *I have 
 learned by experience that the Lord hath blessed 
 me "for thy sake. 
 
 28 And he said, 'Appoint me thy wages, and 1 
 will give it. 
 
 29 And he said unto him, c Thou knowest how 1 
 have served thee, and how thy cattle was with me. 
 
 30 For it was little which thou hadst before 1 
 came, and it is now t increased unto a multitude ; and 
 the Lord hath blessed thee f since my coining : and 
 now, when shall I d provide tor mine own house also ?

 spotted and speckled among the goats: and e of such 
 snail be my hire. 
 
 33 So shall my ^righteousness answer for me fin 
 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 brown among the sheep, that 
 shall be counted stolen with me. 
 
 34 And Laban said, Behold, 1 would it might be 
 according to thy word. 
 
 35 And he removed that day the he-goats that 
 #ere 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 brown among the 
 sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons. 
 
 36 And he set three days' journey betwixt himself 
 and Jacob : and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks. 
 
 37 TTAnd g Jacob took him rods of green poplar, 
 and of the hazel and chesnut-tree ; and pilled white 
 streaks in them, and made the white appear which 
 was in the rods. 
 
 38 And he set the rods which he had pilled 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-streaked, speckled, and 
 spotted. 
 
 40 And Jacob did separate the lambs, and set the 
 faces of the flocks toward the ring-streaked, and all 
 the brown in the flock of Laban; and he put his 
 own flocks by themselves, and put them not unto 
 Laban's cattle. 
 
 41 And it came to pass, whensoever 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 put them 
 not in : so the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger 
 Jacob's. 
 
 43 And the man h increased exceedingly, and 'had 
 much cattle, and maid-servants, and men-servants, 
 and camels, and asses.

 2 And Jacob beheld 4 the countenance of Laban,

 3 And the Lord said unto Jacob, d Return unto

 7 And your father hath deceived mo, 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 bare Btoeckled : and if he 
 said thus, The ring-streaked shall be thy hire; then 
 bare all the cattle ring-streaked. 
 
 9 Thus God hath "'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 were ring-streaked, speckled, and grizzled. 
 
 11 And "the angel of God spake unto 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 unto thee. 
 
 13 I am the God of Beth-el, ''where thou anoint- 
 edst the pillar, and where thou vowedst a vow unto 
 me : now 9 arise, get thee out from this land, and 
 return unto the land of thy kindred. 
 
 14 And Rachel and Leah answered, and said unto 
 him, r Is there yet any portion or inheritance for lit 
 in our father's house ? 
 
 15 Are we not counted of him strangers ? for 'he 
 hath sold us, and hath quite devoured also our money. 
 
 16 For all the riches which God hath taken from 
 our father, that is ours, and our children's : now then, 
 whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do. 
 
 17 IT Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and 
 his wives upon camels; 
 
 18 And he carried away all his cattle, and all his 
 goods which he had gotten, the cattle of his getting, 
 which he had gotten in Padan-aram : for to go to 
 Isaac his father in the land of Canaan. 
 
 19 And Laban went to shear his sheep : and Ra« 
 chel had stolen the f images that were her father's. 
 
 20 And Jacob stole away fumiAvares to Laban 
 the Syrian, in that he told him not that he fled. 
 
 21 So he fled with all that he had ; and he rose 
 up, and passed over the river, and "set his face 
 toward the mount Gilead. 
 
 22 And it was told Laban on the third day, that 
 Jacob was fled. 
 
 23 And he took x his brethren with him, and pur- 
 sued after him seven days' journey : and they over- 
 took him in the mount Gilead. 
 
 24 And God y came to Laban the Syrian in a 
 dream by night, and said unto him, Take heed that 
 thou * speak not to Jacob t either good or bad. 
 
 25 IF 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 unawares to me, 
 and "carried away my daughters, as captives taken 
 with the sword? 
 
 27 Wherefore didst thou flee away secretly, and 
 t steal 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? c 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 of your father spake unto me c yester» 
 
 29 
 
Jacob's complaint of Laban. 
 
 night, saying, Take thou heed that thou speak not 
 to Jacob either good or bad. 
 
 30 And now, though thou wouldest needs be gone, 
 because thou sore longedst after thy father's house, 
 yet wherefore hast thou J stolen my gods ? 
 " 31 And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Be- 
 cause I was afraid: -for I said, Peradventure thou 
 wouldest take by force thy daughters from me. 
 
 32 With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, g let 
 him not live : before our brethren discern thou what 
 is thine with me, and take it to thee. For Jacob knew 
 wot 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 furniture, and sat upon them. 
 And Laban f searched all the tent, but found them 
 not. 
 
 35 And she said to her father, Let it not displease 
 \ny lord that I cannot ''rise up before thee; for the 
 custom of women is upon me. And he searched, 
 ^ut found not the images. 
 
 36 HAnd Jacob was wroth, and chode with La- 
 ban : and Jacob answered and said to Laban, What 
 is my trespass? what is my sin, that thou hast so 
 hotly pursued after me ? 
 
 37 Whereas 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 betwixt us both. 
 
 38 This 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. Avas torn of beasts I brought not 
 unto thee; I bare the loss of it; of *my hand didst 
 thou require it, whether stolen by day, or stolen by 
 night. 
 
 40 Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed 
 me, and the frost 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 "^xcept the God of my father, the God of 
 Abraham, and "the Fear of Isaac, had been with me, 
 surely thou hadst sent me away now empty. p God 
 hath seen mine affliction and the labour of my 
 hands, and 'rebuked thee yesternight. 
 
 43 II And Laban answered and said unto 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 unto these my daughters, or unto their children 
 which they have born? 
 
 44 Now therefore come thou, r let us make a cove- 
 nant, I and thou; 'and let it be for a witness be- 
 tween me and thee. 
 
 45 And Jacob 'took a stone, and set it up for a 
 pdlar. 
 
 46 And Jacob said unto his brethren, Gather 
 stones ; and they took stones, and made an heap : 
 and they did eat there upon the heap. 
 
 47 And Laban called it || Jegar-sahadutha : but 
 Jacob called it || Galeed. 
 
 48 And Laban said, "This heap is a witness be-

 Laban s covenant with Jacob 
 
 tween me <md thee this day. Therefore was the 
 name of it called Galeed ; 
 
 49 And *"||Mizpali; for he said, The Lord 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 betwixt me and thee. 
 
 51 And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, 
 and behold this pillar, which I have cast betwixt 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 
 unto me, for harm. 
 
 53 The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, 
 the God of their father, y judge betwixt us. And 
 Jacob ^sware by "the Fear of his father Isaac. 
 
 54 Then Jacob || offered sacrifice upon the mount, 
 and called his brethren to eat bread : and they did 
 eat bread, 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 c returned unto his place.

 he is called Israel. 31 He halteih. 
 
 AND Jacob went on his way, and "the angels ot 
 God met him. 
 
 2 And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is 
 God's 6 host: and he called the name of that place 
 || Mahanaim. 
 
 3 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau 
 his brother c unto the land of Seir, '•the f country ot 
 Edom. 
 
 4 And he commanded them, saying, e Thus shall 
 ye speak unto my lord Esau; thy servant Jacob 
 saith thus, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed 
 there until now : 
 
 5 And f I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and men 
 servants, and women-servants : and I have sent to 
 tell my lord, that * I may find grace in thy sight. 
 
 6 TTAnd the messengers returned to Jacob, saying. 
 We came to thy brother Esau, and also ''he cometh 
 to meet thee, and four hundred men with him. 
 
 7 Then Jacob was greatly afraid, and 'distressed : 
 and he divided the people that was with him, and 
 the flocks, and herds, and the camels, into two 
 bands ; 
 
 8 And said. If Esau come to the one company, 
 and smite it, then the other company which is left 
 shall escape. 
 
 9 IP And Jacob said, 'O God of my father Abra- 
 ham, and God of my father Isaac, the Lord "'which 
 saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy 
 kindred, and I will deal well with thee : 
 
 10 1 1 am not worthy of the least of all the "mer- 
 cies, and of all the truth, which thou hast shewed 
 unto thy servant; for with "my staff I passed over 
 this Jordan ; and now I am become two bands. 
 
 11 /'Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of 
 my brother, from the hand of Esau : for I fear him, 
 lest he will come and smite me, and v the mother 
 f with the children. 
 
 12 And r thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, 
 and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, <vhi-.ii 
 cannot be numbered for multitude.

 Jacob's present to tisau 
 
 J 3 IfAnd he lodged there that same night; and 
 took of that which came to his hand 'a present for 
 Esau his brother; 
 
 14 Two hundred she-goats and twenty he-goats, 
 two hundred ewes and twenty rams, 
 
 .1 5 Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine 
 and ten bulls, twenty she-asses and ten foals. 
 
 16 And he delivered them into the hand of his 
 servants, every drove by themselves; and said unto 
 his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space 
 betwixt 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 be thy servant 
 Jacob's ; it is a present sent unto my lord Esau : 
 and, behold, also he is behind us. 
 
 19 And so commanded he the second, and the 
 third, and all that followed the droves, saying, On 
 this manner shall ye speak unto Esau, when ye find 
 him. 
 
 20 And say ye moreover, Behold, thy servant Ja- 
 cob is behind us. For he said, I will 'appease him 
 with the present that goeth before me, and afterward 
 I will see his face ; peradventure he will accept fof me. 
 
 21 So went the present over before him; and 
 himself lodged that night in the company. 
 
 22 And he rose up that night, and took his two 
 wives, and' his two women-servants, and his eleven 
 sons, "and passed over the ford Jabbok. 
 
 23 And he took them, and fsent them over the 
 brook, and sent over that he had. 
 
 24 II And Jacob was left alone ; and there 
 'wrestled a man with him, until the f breaking of 
 the day. 
 
 25 And when he saw that he prevailed not 
 against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh : 
 and y 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 break- 
 eth : and he said, a I will not let thee go, except thou 
 bless me. 
 
 27 And he said unto him, What is- thy name? 
 And he said, Jacob. 
 
 28 And he said, 'Thy name shall be called no 
 more Jacob, but || Israel : for as a prince hast thou 
 •"power with God, and rf with men, and hast prevailed. 
 
 29 And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I 
 pray thee, thy name : and he said, e Wherefore is it 
 that thou dost ask after my name ? And he blessed 
 him there. 
 
 _ 30 And Jacob called the name of the place || Pe- 
 niel: for^I have seen God face to face, and my life 
 is preserved. 
 
 ol And as he passed over Penuel, the sun rose 
 upon him, and he halted upon his thigh. 
 
 32 Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the 
 sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of 
 the thigh, unto this day; because he touched the 
 hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew that shrank.

 2 And he put the handmaids and their ehildrer

 3 And he passed over before them, and 'bowed 
 himself to the ground seven times, until he came 
 near to his brother. 
 
 4 c And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, 
 rf 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 +with

 6 Then the handmaidens came near, they and 
 their children, and they bowed themselves. 
 
 7 And Leah also with her children came near, 
 and bowed themselves; and after came Joseph neat 
 and Rachel, and they bowed themselves. 
 
 8 And he said, t What meanest thou by -/'all this

 9 And Esau said, I have enough, my brother;

 10 And Jacob said, Nay, I pray thee, if now 1 
 have found grace in thy sight, then receive my pre- 
 sent at my hand : for therefore I A have seen thy

 wast pleased with me. 
 
 11 Take, I pray thee, 'my blessing that is brought

 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 unto him, My lord knoweth that

 14 Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his

 of Jacob offer the condition of circumcision to the S hechemites. 30 Jacob 
 reproveth Simeon and Levi. 
 
 AND "Dinah, the daughter of Leah, which she 
 bare unto 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 f defiled her. 
 
 3 And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of 
 
 81 
 
iskechcm sueth to marry Dinah. 
 
 Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake f kindly 
 unto the damsel. 
 
 4 And Shechem e spake unto his father Plamor, 
 saying, Get me this damsel to wife. 
 
 5 And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah 
 hi i daughter: (now his sons were with his cattle in 
 the field : and Jacob -/'held his peace until they were 
 come.) 
 
 6 ITAnd Hamor the father of Shechem went out 
 unto Jacob to commune with him. 
 
 7 And the sons of Jacob came out of the field 
 when they heard it : and the men were grieved, 
 and they A ' were very wroth, because he ''had wrought 
 Mly in Israel, in lying with Jacob's daughter; * which 
 thing ought not to be done. 
 
 8 And Hamor communed with them, saying, 
 The soul of my son Shechem longeth for your 
 daughter: I pray you give her him to wife. 
 
 9 And make ye marriages with us, and give your 
 (laughters unto us, and take our daughters unto you. 
 
 10 And ye shall dwell with us: and Hhe land 
 shall be before you; dwell and 'trade ye therein, 
 and '"get you possessions therein. 
 
 11 And Shechem said unto her father, and unto 
 her brethren, Let me find grace in your eyes, and 
 what ye shall say unto me, 1 will give. 
 
 12 Ask me never so much "dowry and gift, and 
 I will give according as ye shall say unto me : but 
 give me the damsel to wife. 
 
 13 And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem 
 and Hamor his father "deceitfully, and said, be- 
 cause he had defiled Dinah their sister : 
 
 14 And they said unto them, We cannot do this 
 thing, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised ; 
 for f that were a reproach unto us : 
 
 15 But in this will we consent unto you : If ye will 
 be as we be, that every male of you be circumcised ; 
 
 16 Then will we give our daughters unto 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 unto us, to be cir- 
 cumcised; then will we take our daughter, and we 
 will be gone. 
 
 18 And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem, 
 Ilamor'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 honourable than all the house of his father. 
 
 20 ITAnd Hamor and Shechem his son came unto 
 the gate of their city, and communed with the men 
 rf 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 wdl the men consent unto us for 
 to dwell with us, to be one people, if every male 
 among us be circumcised, as they are circumcised. 
 
 23 Shall not their cattle, and their substance, and 
 every beast of theirs be ours? only let us consent 
 unto them, and they will dwell with us. 
 
 24 And unto Hamor, and unto Shechem his son, 
 hearkened all that 'went out of the gate of his city: 
 and every male was circumcised, all that went out 
 of the gate of his city. 
 
 25 TIAnd 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 f edge 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 was in the city, and 
 that which was in the field. 
 
 29 And all their wealth, and all their little ones, 
 and their wives took they captive, and spoiled even 
 all that was in the house. 
 
 30 And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, 'Ye have 
 "troubled me Ho make me to stink among the inhabi- 
 tants of the land, among the Canaanites, and the 
 Perizzites: y and I being few in number, they shall 
 gather themselves together against me, and slay me; 
 and I shall be destroyed, I and my house. 
 
 31 And they said, Should he deal with our sister 
 as with an harlot ? 
 
 CHAP. XXXV. 
 
 1 God sendeth Jacob lo Beth-el. 2 He purgeth his house of idols. 9 God 
 blesseth Jacob at Beth-el. 16 Rachel travaileth of Benjamin, and dieih 
 in the way to FAar. 23 The sons of Jacob. 28 The age, death, and 
 burial of Isaac. 
 
 AND God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to 
 " Beth-el, and dwell there: and make there an 
 altar unto God, Hhat appeared unto thee c when thou 
 fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother. 
 
 2 Then Jacob said unto his ^household, and to 
 all that were with him, Put away Hhe strange gods 
 that are among you, and J be clean and change your 
 garments : 
 
 3 And let us arise, and go up to Beth-el ; and I 
 will make there an altar unto God, *who answered 
 me in the day of my distress, ''and was with me in 
 the way which I went. 
 
 4 And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods 
 which were in their hand, and all their 'ear-rings 
 which were in their ears ; and Jacob hid 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 II So Jacob came to '" 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 called the 
 place || El-beth-el; because 'there God appeared untc 
 him, when he fled from the face of his brother. 
 
 8 But ''Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died, and she 
 was buried beneath Beth-el, under an oak : and tin* 
 name of it was called || Allon-bachuth. 
 
 9 ITAnd '' God appeared unto Jacob again when 
 he came out of Padan-aram ; and blessed him. 
 
 10 And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy 
 name shall not be called any more Jacob, " but Israel 
 shall be thy name; and he called his name Israel. 
 
 11 And* God said unto him, 'I am God Almighty, 
 be fruitful and multiply ; " a nation and a company 
 of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out 
 of thy loins. 
 
 12 And the land ""which I gave Abraham and 
 Isaac, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed aftei 
 thee will I give the land. 
 
 13 And God *went up from him in the place 
 where he talked with him. 
 
Isaacs age and death. C 
 
 14 And Jacob y set up a pillar in the place where 
 he talked with him, even a pilhr of stone: and he poured 
 a drink-offering thereon, and he poured oil thereon. 
 
 15 And Jacob called the name of the place where 
 God spake with him, * Beth-el. 
 
 16 If And they journeyed from Beth-el; and there 
 was but fa little way to come to Ephrath: and Ra- 
 chel travailed, and she had hard labour. 
 
 17 And it came to pass, when she was in hard 
 labour, that the midwife said unto her, Fear not; 
 "thou shalt have this son also. 
 
 18 And it came to pass, as her soul was in depart- 
 hip;, (for she died,) that she called his name || Ben- 
 oni : but his father called him || Benjamin. 
 
 19 And 'Rachel died, and was buried in the way 
 to c Ephrath, which is Beth-lehem. 
 
 20 And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave : that is 
 the pillar of Rachel's grave d unto this day. 
 
 21 TTAnd Israel journeyed, and spread his tent 
 beyond e the tower of Edar. 
 
 22 And it came to pass, when Israel dwelt in that 
 land, that Reuben went and -Hay with Bilhah his 
 father's concubine : and Israel heard it. Now the 
 sons of Jacob were twelve : 
 
 23 The sony of Leah ; g Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, 
 and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and lssachar, and 
 Zebulun : 
 
 24 The sons of Rachel ; Joseph, and Benjamin : 
 
 25 And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid ; 
 Dan, and Naphtali : 
 
 26 And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's hand-maid ; 
 Gad, and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob, which 
 were born to him in Padan-aram. 
 
 27 If And Jacob came unto Isaac his father unto 
 *Mamre, unto the 'city of Arbah, which is Hebion, 
 where Abraham and Isaac sojourned. 
 
 28 And the days of Isaac were an hundred and 
 fourscore years. 
 
 29 And Isaac gave up the ghost and died, and 
 *was gathered unto his people, being old and full of 
 days; and 'his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.

 2 Joseph is hated of his brethren. 5 His two dreams. 18 His brethren 
 conspire Ids death. 21 Reuben saveth him. 26 They sell him to the 
 Ishmaelites. 36 He is sold to Potiphar in Egypt. 
 
 AND Jacob dwelt in the land f " wherein his father 
 was a stranger, in the land of Canaan. 
 
 2 These are the generations of Jacob : Joseph 
 being seventeen yeai-s old, was feeding the flock with 
 his brethren; and the lad was with the sons of Bil- 
 hah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives : 
 and J oseph brought unto his father ' their evil report. 
 
 3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his chil- 
 dren, because he was c the son of his old age : and 
 he made him a coat of many \\ colours. 
 
 4 And when his brethren saw that their father 
 loved him more than all his brethren, they ''hated 
 him, and could not speak peaceably unto him. 
 
 5 TTAnd Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it 
 his brethren : and they hated him yet the more. 
 
 o And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this 
 dream which I have dreamed : 
 
 7 For, e behold, wetvere 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 HAnd he dreamed yet another dream, and told 
 lii his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a 
 dream more : and, behold, J the sun and the moon and

 He is sold into Egypt 
 
 11 And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, fsee 
 whether it be well with thy brethren, and well with 
 the flocks; and 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, ] 
 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 his brethren, and found them in 
 '" Dothan. 
 
 18 And when they saw him afar off, even before 
 he came near unto them, "they conspired against 
 him to slay him. 
 
 19 And they said one to another, Behold, this 
 f dreamer cometh. 
 
 20 "Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and 
 cast him into some pit; and we will say /Some evil 
 beast hath devoured him: and we shall see Avhat 
 will become of his dreams. 
 
 21 And ''Reuben heard it, and he delivered him 
 out of their hands; and said, Let us not kill him. 
 
 22 And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood, 
 but cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, 
 and lay no hand upon him; that he might rid him 
 out of their hands, to deliver him to his father again. 
 
 23 UAnd it came to pass, when Joseph was come 
 unto his brethren, that they stript Joseph out of his 
 coat, his coat of many || colours that was on him. 
 
 24 And they took him, and cast him into a pit: 
 and the pit was empty, there was no water in it. 
 
 25 ? And they sat down to eat bread: and they 
 lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a com- 
 pany 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 unto his brethren, What 
 profit is it if we slay our brother, and 'conceal his 
 blood? 
 
 27 Come,and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites,and 
 "let not our hand be upon him; for he is * our brother, 
 and y our flesh: and his brethren fwere 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 
 pieces of silver : and they brought Joseph into Egypt. 
 
 2 9 UAnd Reuben returned unto the pit ; and, behold, 
 Joseph was not in the pit: and he c rent his clothes. 
 
 30 And he returned unto his brethren, and said, 
 The child d is not: and I, whither shall I go? 
 
 31 And they took e Joseph's coat, and killed a kid 
 of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood : 
 
 32 And they sent the coat of many colours, and 
 they brought it to their father ; and said, This have we 
 found : know now whether it be thy son's coat or no. 
 
 33 And he knew it, and said, It is my son's coat; 
 an-Z'evil beast hath devoured him : Joseph is without 
 doubt rent in pieces. 
 
 34 And Jacob 4 'rent his clothes, and put sackcloth 
 upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days. 
 
 35 And all his sons and all his daughters ''rose up 
 
 to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted 
 he said, For ' I will go down into the grave unto 
 son mourning. Thus his lather wept for him.

 AND it came to pass at that time, that Judah 
 went down from his brethren, and " turned in 
 to a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah. 
 
 2 And Judah 'saw there a daughter of a certain 
 Canaanite, whose name was c Shuah; and he took 
 her, and went in unto her 
 
 3 And she conceived, 
 called his name ''Er. 
 
 4 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and 
 she called his name 'Onan. 
 
 5 And she yet again conceived, and bare a son ; 
 and called his name J 'Shelah : and he was at Chezib, 
 when she bare him. 
 
 6 And Judah *took a wife for Er his first-born, 
 whose name was Tamar. 
 
 7 And ''Er, Judah's first-born, was wicked in the 
 sight of the Lord; 'and the Lord slew Inm. 
 
 8 And Judah said unto O'nan, Go in unto Hhy 
 brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to 
 thy brother. 
 
 9 And Onan knew that the seed should not be 
 'his : and it came to pass, when he went in unto his 
 brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest 
 that he should give seed to his brother. 
 
 10 And the thing which he did f displeased the 
 Lord: wherefore he* slew "'him also. 
 
 11 Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter-in- 
 law, "Remain a widow at thy father's house, till 
 Shelah my son be grown; for he said, Lest perad- 
 venture he die also as his brethren did: and Tamar 
 went and dwelt "in her father's house. 
 
 12 And fin process of time, the daughter of 
 Shuah, Judah's wife died : and Judah ^ was com- 
 forted, and went up unto his sheep-shearers to Tim- 
 nath, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite. 
 
 13 And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold, thy 
 father-in-law goeth up ' to Timnath, to shear his sheep. 
 
 14 And she put her widow's garments off from 
 her, and covered her with a vail, and wrapped her- 
 self, and Sat in fan open place, which is by the way 
 to Timnath: for she saw 'that Shelah was grown, 
 and she was not given unto him to wife. 
 
 15 When Judah saw her, he thought her to be an 
 harlot; because she had covered her face. 
 
 16 And he turned unto her by the way, and said, 
 Cro to, I pray thee, let me come in unto 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 unto me? 
 
 17 And he said, "I will send thee fa kid from the 
 flock : and she said, w Wilt thou give me a pledge, till 
 thou send it? 
 
 18 And he said, What pledge shall I give thee ? 
 And she said, * Thy signet, and thy bracelets, and 
 thy statf that is in thine hand: and he gave it her, 
 and came in unto 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 || openly 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, that 
 there was no harlot in this place. 
 
 23 And Judah said. Let her take it to her, lest 
 we fhe shamed : behold, I sent this kid, and thou 
 hast not found her. 
 
 24 II And it came to pass, about three months 
 after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar thy 
 daughter-in-law hath z played the harlot; and also, 
 behold, she is with child by whoredom. 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, 
 am I with child : and she said, 'Discern, I pray thee, 
 whose are these, c the signet, and bracelets, and staff'. 
 
 26 And Judah ''acknowledged them, and said, 'She 
 hath been more righteous than I ; because that ^l 
 gave her not to Shelah my son : and he knew her 
 again A 'no more. 
 
 27 IT And it came to pass in the time of her tra-

 28 And it came to pass, when she travailed, that 
 the one put out his hand; and the midwife took and 
 bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This 
 came out first. 
 
 29 And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, 
 that, behold, his brother came out; and she said, 
 II How hast thou broken forth? this breach be upon 
 thee : therefore his name was called || '' Pharez. 
 
 30 And afterward came out his brother, that had 
 the scarlet thread upon his hand ; and his name was

 1 Joseph advanced in Potiphar' a house. 7 He resiiteth his mistress's temp 
 tation. 20 He is cast into prison. 
 
 AND Joseph was brought down to Egypt: and 
 "Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the 
 guard, an Egyptian, 'bought him of the hands of the 
 Ishmaelites, which had brought him down thither. 
 
 2 And c the Lord 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 the Lord was with 
 him, and that the Lord ''made all that he did to 
 prosper in his hand. 
 
 4 And Joseph 'found grace in his sight, and he 
 served him : and he made him J 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 A ' the Lord blessed the Egyptian's house for 
 Joseph's sake ; and the blessing of the Lord 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 aught he had, save the bread which 
 he did eat. And Joseph ''was a goodly person, and 
 well-favoured. 
 
 7 IT And it came to pass after these things, that 
 his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph : and she 
 said, 'Lie with me. 
 
 8 But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, 
 Behold, my master wotteth 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 ; nei- 
 ther hath he kept back any thing from me, but thee. 
 
 Si 
 
 *^m 
 
Joseph falsely accused and imprisoned. 
 
 because thou art his wife: *how then can I do this 
 great wickedness, and 'sin against God ? 
 
 10 And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph 
 day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie 
 by her, or to be with her. 
 
 11 And it came to pass about this time, that Jo- 
 seph went into the house to do his business ; and there 
 ■was none of the men of the house there Avithin. 
 
 12 And m she caught him by his garment, saying, 
 Lie with me : and he left his garment in her hand, 
 and fled, and got him out. 
 
 13 And it came to pass, Avhen she saw that he had 
 left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth, 
 
 14 That she called unto the men of her house, and 
 spake unto them, saying. See, he hath brought in an 
 Hebrew unto us to mock us : he came in unto me to 
 lie with me, and I cried with a f loud voice : 
 
 15 And it came to pass, when he heard that I 
 lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment 
 with me, and fled, and got him out. 
 
 16 And she laid up his garment by her, until his 
 lord came home. 
 
 17 And she "spake unto him according to these 
 words, saying, The Hebrew servant, which thou hast 
 brought unto us, came in unto me to mock me : 
 
 18 And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice 
 and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled 
 out. 
 
 19 And it came to pass, when his master heard 
 the words of his wife, which she spake unto 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 there in the prison. 
 
 21 11 But the Lord was with Joseph, and f shewed 
 him mercy, and r gave him favour in the sight of the 
 keeper of the prison. 
 
 22 And the keeper of the prison 'committed to Jo- 
 seph's hand all the prisoners that were in the prison ; 
 and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it. 
 
 23 The keeper of the prison looked not to any 
 thing that was under his hand; because 'the Lord 
 was with him : and that which he did, the Lord made 
 it to prosper.

 1 The butler and baker of Pharaoh in prison. 5 He interpreteth their

 AND it came to pass after these things, that the

 offended their lord the king of Egypt. 
 
 2 And Pharaoh was "wroth against two of his 
 officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against 
 the chief of the bakers. 
 
 3 c And he put them in ward 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 ward. 
 
 5 IT And they dreamed a dream both of them, 
 each man his dream in one night, each man accord- 
 ing to the interpretation of his dream; the butler 
 and the baker of the king of Eg\pt, which were 
 bound in the prison. 
 
 6 And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, 
 and looked upon them, and, behold, they were sad.

 him in the ward of his lord's house, saying, Where 
 fore f look ye so sadly to-day ? 
 
 8 And they said unto him, rf We have dreamed a 
 dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph 
 said unto them, 'Do not interpretations belong to 
 God ? tell me them, I pray you. 
 
 9 And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, 
 and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was 
 before me; 
 
 10 And in the vine ivere three branches: and it 
 was as though it budded, and her 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 Igave the cup into Pharaoh s hand; 
 
 12 And Joseph said unto him, 'This is the inter- 
 pretation of it: The three branches e are three days: 
 
 13 Yet within three days shall Pharaoh ' v || lift up 
 thy head, and restore thee unto thy place : and thou 
 shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the 
 former manner when thou Avast his butler. 
 
 14 But f ; think on me when it shall be well with 
 thee, and *shew kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and 
 make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out 
 of this house : 
 
 15 For indeed I was stolen away out of the land 
 of the Hebrews : 'and here also have I done nothing 
 that they should put me into the dungeon. 
 
 16 When the chief baker saw that the interpre- 
 tation was good, he said unto Joseph, I also tvas in 
 my dream, and, behold, i~ had three || white baskets 
 on my head : 
 
 17 And in the uppermost basket there was of all 
 manner of f bake-meats for Pharaoh : 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 HAnd it came to pass the third day, which tvas 
 Pharaoh's "birth-day, that he ''made a feast unto all 
 his servants : and he ' || lifted up the head of the chief 
 butler and of the chief baker among his servants. 
 
 21 And he r restored the chief butler unto his butler- 
 ship again ; and s 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 butler remember Joseph, 
 but "forgat him.

 AND it came to pass, at the end of two full years, 
 that Pharaoh dreamed : and., behold, he stood 
 by the river. 
 
 2 And, behold, there came up out of the river 
 seven Avell- favoured kine and fat-fleshed; and they 
 fed in a meadoAV. 
 
 3 And, behold, seven other kine came up after them 
 out of the river, ill-favoured and lean-fleshed ; and 
 stood by the other kine upon the brink of the river. 
 
 4 And the ill-favoured and lean-fleshed kine did 
 eat up the seven well-favoured and fat kine. So 
 Pharaoh awoke. 
 
VharaoKs two dreams 
 
 5 And he slept and dreamed the second time : 
 and, behold, seven ears of corn came up upon one 
 stalk, "f rank and good. 
 
 6 And, behold, seven thin ears and blasted with 
 the east wind sprung up alter them. 
 
 7 And the seven thin ears devoured the seven 
 rank and full oars. And Pharaoh awoke, and, be- 
 hold, 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 the 
 
 magicians of Egypt, and all the r wise men thereof: 
 and Pharaoh told tliemhis dream; but there was none 
 that could interpret them unto Pharaoh. 
 
 9 If Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, 
 saying, I do remember my faults this day : 
 
 10 Pharaoh was ''wroth with his servants, 'and 
 put me in ward in the captain of the guard's house, 
 Loth me and tne chief baker : 
 
 11 And J we dreamed a dream in one night, I and 
 he : we dreamed each man according to the inter- 
 pretation of his dream. 
 
 12 And there was there with us a young man, an 
 Hebrew, * servant to the captain of tne guard ; and 
 we told him, and he ''interpreted to us our dreams; 
 to each man according to his dream he did interpret. 
 
 13 And it came to pass, 'as he interpreted to us, 
 so it was : me he restored unto mine office, and him 
 he hanged. 
 
 14 If* Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and 
 they 't brought him hastily "'out of the dungeon: 
 and he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and 
 came in unto Pharaoh. 
 
 15 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed 
 a dream, and there is none that can interpret it : "and 
 I have heard say of thee, that II thou canst under- 
 stand a dream to interpret it. 
 
 16 And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, "It is 
 not in me : p God shall give Pharaoh an answer of 
 peace. 
 
 17 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, '< In my dream, 
 behold, I stood upon the bank of the river : 
 
 18 And, behold, there came up out of the river 
 seven kine, fat-fleshed, and well-favoured ; and they 
 fed in a meadow : 
 
 19 And, behold, seven other kine came up after 
 them, poor, and very ill-favoured, and lean-fleshed, 
 such as I never saw T in all the land of Egypt for 
 badness : 
 
 20 And the lean and the ill-favoured kine did eat 
 up the first seven fat kine : 
 
 21 And when they had t eaten them up, it could 
 not be known that they had eaten them; but they 
 were still ill-favoured, as at the beginning. So I 
 awoke. 
 
 22 And 1 saw in my dream, and, behold, seven 
 ears came up in 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 unto the magicians ; but there 
 was none that could declare it to me. 
 
 25 ^i And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream 
 of Pharaoh is one : * God hath shewed Pharaoh what 
 he is about to do. 
 
 26 The seven good kine are seven years ; and the 
 seven good ears are seven years : the dream is one. 
 
 27 And the seven thin and ill-favoured kine 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 unto 
 Pharaoh : what God is about to do he sheweth unto 
 Pharaoh. 
 
 29 Behold, there come '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 z shall consume 
 the land; 
 
 31 And the plenty shall not be known in the land 
 by reason of that famine following : for it shall be 
 very f grievous. 
 
 32 And for that the dream was doubled nuto 
 Pharaoh twice ; it is because the a thing «• || established 
 by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass. 
 
 33 Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man dis- 
 creet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt. 
 
 34 Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint 
 1 officers over the land, and b take up the fifth part 
 of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years. 
 
 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 f rf perish not through 
 the famine. 
 
 37 II And 'the thing was good in the eyes of Pha- 
 raoh, and in the eyes of all his servants. 
 
 38 And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we 
 find such a one as this is, a man •'in whom the spirit 
 of God is? 
 
 39 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch 
 as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so 
 discreet and wise as thou art : 
 
 40 *Thou shalt be over my house, and according 
 unto thy word shall all my people f he ruled : only 
 in the throne will I be greater than thou. 
 
 41 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have 
 '' set thee over all the land of Egypt. 
 
 42 And Pharaoh 'took off his ring from his hand, 
 and put it upon Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in 
 vestures of || fine 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 before him, || f Bow 
 the knee : and he made him ruler " over all the land 
 of Egypt. 
 
 44 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh 
 and without thee shall no man lift up his hand 
 foot in all the land of Egypt. 
 
 45 And Pharaoh called Joseph's name !| Zaph- 
 nath-paaneah ; and he gave him to wife Asenath 
 the daughter of Poti-pherah || priest of On. And Jo- 
 seph 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 
 throughout all the land of Egypt. 
 
 47 And in the seven plenteous years the earth 
 brought forth by handfuls. 
 
 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 com p as the sand of the

 sea, very much, until he left numbering ; for it was 
 without number. 
 
 50 'And unto Joseph were born two sons before 
 the years of famine came : which Asenath the daugh- 
 ter of Poti-pherah || priest of On bare unto him. 
 
 51 And Joseph called the name of the first-born 
 il Manasseh : For God, said he, hath made me forget 
 all my toil, and all my father's house. 
 
 52 And the name of the second called he || Eph- 
 aim : For God hath caused me to be 'fruitful in 
 
 the land of my affliction. 
 
 53 HAnd the seven years of plenteousness, that 
 was in the land of Egypt, were ended. 
 
 54 'And the seven years of dearth began to come, 
 'according as Joseph had said : and the dearth was 
 in all lands ; but in all the land of Egypt there was 
 bread. 
 
 55 And when all the land of Egypt was famished, 
 the people cried to Pharaoh for bread : and Pharaoh 
 said unto all the Egyptians, Go unto Joseph ; what 
 he saith to you, do. 
 
 56 And the famine was over all the face of the 
 earth : and Joseph opened f all the storehouses, and 
 "sold unto the Egyptians; and the famine waxed 
 sore in the land of Egypt. 
 
 57 ^And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph 
 for to buy corn ; because that the famme was so sore 
 in all lands.

 l Jacob sendeth his ten sons to buy corn in Egypt. 16 They are imprisoned 
 by Joseph for spies. 24 Simeon is kept for a pledge. 36 Jacob refuseth to 
 send Benjamin. 
 
 NOW when "Jacob saw that there was corn in 
 Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons, Why do ye 
 look one upon another ? 
 
 2 And he said, Behold, I have heard that there 
 is corn in Egypt : get you down thither, and buy 
 for us from thence ; that we may 6 live, and not die. 
 
 3 IT 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, f Lest peradventure 
 mischief befall him. 
 
 5 And the sons of Israel came to buy corn among 
 those that came : for the famine was d in the land of 
 Canaan. 
 
 G And Joseph was the governor f over the land, 
 and he it ivas that sold to all the people of the land : 
 and Joseph's brethren came, and ■''bowed down them- 
 selves before him 10'dli their faces to the earth. 
 
 7 And Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew T 
 them, but made himself strange unto them, and 
 spake f roughly unto them; and he said unto 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 s remembered the dreams which he 
 dreamed of them, and said unto them, Ye are spies ; 
 to see the nakedness of the land ye are come. 
 
 10 And they said unto him, Nay, my lord, but 
 to buy food are thy servants come. 
 
 11 We are all one man's sons; we are true men ; 
 thy servants are no spies. 
 
 12 And he said unto them, Nay, but to see the 
 nakedness of the land ye are come. 
 
 13 And they said, Thy servants are twelve bre- 
 thren, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan :

 17 And he tP u ^ them all together into ward

 18 And Joseph said unto them the third day. 
 This do, and live ; k for I fear God : 
 
 19 If ye be 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 unto me ; so 
 shall your words be verified, and ye shall not die. 
 And they did so. 
 
 21 TF And they said one to another, m We are verily 
 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, "Spake 
 I not unto you, saying, Do not sin against the child ; 
 and ve would not hear? therefore, behold, also his 
 blooa is -required. 
 
 23 And they knew not that Joseph understood 
 them ; for f he spake unto them by an interpreter. 
 
 24 And he turned himself about from them, and 
 wept ; and returned to them again, and communed 
 with them, and took from them Simeon, and bound 
 him before their eyes. 
 
 25 HThen Joseph commanded to fill their sacks 
 with corn, and to restore every man's money into 
 his sack, and to give them provision for the way : 
 and 'thus did he unto them. 
 
 26 And they laded their asses with the corn, 
 and departed thence. 
 
 27 And as 'one of them opened his sack fo give 
 his ass provender in the inn, he espied his money : 
 for, behold, it was in his sack's mouth. 
 
 28 And he said unto his brethren, My money is 
 restored; and, lo, it is even in my sack : and their 
 heart t failed them, and they were afraid, saying one 
 to another, What is this that God hath done unto us ? 
 
 29 HAnd they came unto Jacob their father unto 
 the land of Canaan, and told him all that befell unto 
 them, saying, 
 
 30 The man, who is the lord of the land, 'spake 
 f roughly to us, and took us for spies of the country. 
 
 31 And we said unto him, We are true men ; we 
 are no spies : 
 
 32 We be twelve brethren, sons of our father . one 
 is not, and the youngest is this day with our father 
 in the land of Canaan. 
 
 33 And the man, the lord of the country, said unto 
 us, 'Hereby 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 unfo me : 
 then shall I know' that ye are no spies, but thai ye

 36 And Jacob their father said unto them, Me 
 have ye ''bereaved of my children: Joseph is not, 
 and Simeon is not, and ye will take Benjamin away : 
 all these things are against me. 
 
 37 And Reuben spake unto his father, saying, 
 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 ''his brother is dead, and he is left alone: 
 "if mischief befall him by the way in the which ye 
 go, then shall ye 'bring down my gray hairs with

 AND the famine toas "sore in the land. 
 2 And it came to pass, when they had eaten 
 up the corn Avhich they had brought out of Egypt, 
 their father said unto them, Go again, buy us a 
 little food. 
 
 3 And Judah spake unto him, saying, The man 
 fdid solemnly protest unto us, saying, Ye shall not

 4 If thou Avilt 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 unto us, Ye shall not see 
 my face, except your brother 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 f asked us straitly of 
 our state, and of our kindred, saying, Is your father 
 yet alive? have ye another brother? and Ave told

 10 For except we had lingered, surely noAv we 
 had returned || this second time. 
 
 11 And their father Israel said unto them, If it 
 must be so noAv, do this ; take of the best fruits in 
 the land in your vessels, and ''carry doAvn the man 
 a present, a little e 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; peraclven- 
 ture it was an oversight : 
 
 13 Take also your brother, and arise, go 
 unto the man : 
 
 14 And God Almighty give you mercy before 
 the man, that he may send aAvay your other bro- 
 ther, and Benjamin. * || If I be bereaved of my chil- 
 dren, I am bereaved. 
 
 15 IT 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 Avith them, 
 he said to the h ruler of his house Brine: these men 
 
 again

 home, and fslay, and make ready; for these men 
 shall f dine Avith me at noon. 
 
 17 And the man did as Joseph bade ; and the 
 man brought the men into Joseph s house. 
 
 18 And the men Avere afraid, because they Avere 
 brought into Joseph's house ; and they said, Because 
 of the money that Avas returned in our sacks at the 
 first time, are we brought in; that he may fseek 
 occasion against us, and fall upon us, and bike us 
 for bondmen, and our asses. 
 
 19 And they came near to the steward of Joseph's 
 house, and they communed with him at the dooi 
 of the house, 
 
 20 And said, sir, ' f we came indeed doAvn at 
 the first time to buy food : 
 
 21 And *it came to pass, Avhen we came to the inn, 
 that we opened our sacks, and, behold, every man's 
 money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in 
 full Aveight : and we have brought it again in our hand. 
 
 22 And other money have Ave brought doAvn in 
 our hands to buy food : we cannot tell 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 : f I had your money. And 
 he brought Simeon out unto them. 
 
 24 And the man brought the men into Joseph's 
 house, and 'gave them Avater, and they Avashed 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 bread there. 
 
 26 HAnd Avhen Joseph came home, they brought 
 him the present which was in their hand into the 
 house, and m boAved themselves to him to the earth. 
 
 27 And he asked them of their f welfare, and said, 
 f Is your father well, the old man " of whom ye spake? 
 Is he yet ahVe ? 
 
 28 And they answered, Thy servant our father is 
 in good health, he is yet alive. "And they boAved 
 down their heads, and made obeisance. 
 
 29 And he lifted up his eyes, and saAv his brother 
 Benjamin, ''his mother's son, and said, Is this } r our 
 younger brother, 9 of whom ye spake unto me? And 
 he said, God be gracious unto thee, my son. 
 
 30 And Joseph made haste ; for 'his boAvels did 
 yearn upon his brother : and he sought where to 
 Aveep ; and he entered into his chamber, and 'wept 
 there. 
 
 31 And he washed his face, and went out, and 
 refrained himself, and said, Set on 'bread. 
 
 32 And they set on for him by himself, and for 
 them by themselves, and for the Egyptians, Avhich 
 did eat with him, by themselves : because the Egyp- 
 tians might not eat bread Avith the Hebrews: for 
 that is " an abomination unto the Egyptians. 
 
 33 And they sat before him, the first-born accord- 
 ing to his birth-right, and the youngest according to 
 his youth : and the men marvelled one at another 
 
 34 And he took and sent messes unto them from 
 before him : but Benjamin's mess Avas 'five times so 
 much as any of theirs. And they drank, and f Avere 
 merry with him.

 as they can carry, and put every 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 Joseph had spoken. 
 
 3 As soon as the morning was light, the men were 
 sent away, they, and their asses. 
 
 4 And when they were gone out of the city, and 
 not yet far off, Joseph said unto his steward, Up, 
 follow after the men ; and when thou dost overtake 
 them, say unto them; Wherefore have ye rewarded 
 evil for good ? 
 
 5 Is not this it in which my lord drinketh, and 
 whereby indeed he || divineth ? ye have done evil 
 in so doing. 
 
 6 IT And he overtook them, and he spake unto 
 them these same words. 
 
 7 And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my 
 lord these words ? God forbid that thy servants 
 should do according to this thing : 
 
 8 Behold, "the money which we found in our 
 sacks' mouths, we brought again unto 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 b^ my lord's 
 bond-men. 
 
 10 And he said, Now also let it be according unto 
 your words : he with whom it is found shall be my 
 servant ; and ye shall be blameless. 
 
 11 Then they speedily took down every man his 
 sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack. 
 
 12 And he searched, and began at the eldest, 
 and left at the youngest : and the cup was found 
 in Benjamin's sack. 
 
 13 Thim they c rent their clothes, and laded every 
 man his ass, and returned to the city. 
 
 14 HAnd Judah and his brethren came to Jo- 
 seph's house; for he was yet there : and they ''fell 
 before him on the ground. 
 
 15 And Joseph said unto them, What deed is this 
 that ye have done ? wot ye not that such a man as 
 1 can certainly || divine? 
 
 16 And Judah said, What shall we say unto 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, ^Grod forbid that 1 should do so: 
 but the man in whose hand the cup is found, he 
 shall be my servant ; and as for you, get you up in 
 peace unto your father. 
 
 18 IF Then Judah came near unto him, and said, 
 my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a 
 word in my lord's ears, and ^let 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 unto 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 thousaidst unto thy servants, 'Bring him 
 down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him. 
 
 22 And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot 
 'eave his father : for if he should leave his father, 
 (lis father would die.

 Joseph made known to his brethren 
 
 your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall

 24 And it came to pass, when we came up unto thy 
 servant my father, w T e told him 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. 
 
 27 And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye 
 know that "' my wife bare me two sons : 
 
 28 And the one went out from me, and I said, 
 " Surely he is torn in pieces ; and I saw him not since • 
 
 29 And if ye "take this also from me, and mis- 
 chief befall him, ye shall bring down my gray hairs 
 with sorrow to the 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 ; ) 
 
 31 It shall 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 sen ant our 
 father with sorrow to the grave. 
 
 32 For thy servant became surety for the lad 
 unto my father, saying, "If I bring him not unto thee, 
 then I shall bear the blame to my father for ever. 
 
 33 Now therefore, I pray thee, r let thy servant 
 abide instead of the lad a bondman 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 peradventure I see tLe evil 
 that shall t come on my father.

 25 Jacob is revived with tht news. 
 
 r |^HEN Joseph could not refrain himself before all 
 J- them that stood by him ; and he cried, Cause 
 every man to go out trom me : and there stood no 
 man with him, while Joseph made himself known 
 unto his brethren. 
 
 2 And he t wept aloud ; and the Egyptians and 
 the house of Pharaoh heard. 
 
 3 And Joseph said unto his brethren, "\<nn Jo- 
 seph ; doth my father }^et live ? And his brethren 
 could not answer him ; for they were || troubled at 
 his presence. 
 
 4 And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near 
 to me, I pray you : and they came near : and he said, ] 
 am Joseph your brother, * whom ye sold into Egypt. 
 
 5 Now therefore c be not grieved, t nor angry with 
 yourselves, that ye sold me hither : rf 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 the which there 
 shall neither be earing nor harvest. 
 
 7 And God sent me before you, f to preserve you 
 a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by 
 a great deliverance. 
 
 8 So now it was not you that sent me hither, but 
 God : and he hath made me e 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 unto 
 him, Thus saith thy son Joseph, God hath made me 
 lord of all Egypt; come down unto me, tarry not: 
 
 10 And -'thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, 
 and thou shait be near unto me, thou, and thy chii

 dren, and thy children's children, and thy flocks, 
 arid thy herds, and all that thou hast: 
 
 1 1 And there will I nourish thee, (for yet there 
 are five years of famine ;) lest thou, and thy house- 
 hold, and all that thou hast, come to poverty. 
 
 12 And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of 
 my brother Benjamin, that it is A 'iny mouth that 
 speaketh unto 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 * brin^ down my father hither. 
 
 14 And he fell upon his brother Benjamin's neck, 
 and wept; and Benjamin wept upon his neck. 
 
 15 Moreover, he kissed nil his brethren, and wept 
 upon them: and after that his brethren talked with 
 him. 
 
 16 If And the fame thereof was heard in Pharaoh's 
 house, saying, Joseph's brethren are come : and it 
 I pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants. 
 
 17 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto thy 
 brethren, This do ye ; lade your beasts, and go, get 
 you unto the land of Canaan; 
 
 18 And take your father, and your households, and 
 come unto me : and 1 will c;ive 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 f regard 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 comman d- 
 ment of Pharaoh, and 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 
 pieces of silver, and 'five changes of raiment. 
 
 23 And to his father he sent after this manner ; 
 ten asses f laden with the good things of Egypt, and 
 ten she asses laden with corn and bread and meat 
 for his father by the way. 
 
 24 So he sent his brethren away, and they de- 
 parted : and he said unto them, See that ye fall not 
 out by the way. 
 
 25 IT And they went up out of Egypt, and came 
 into the land of Canaan unto Jacob their father, 
 
 26 And told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive, and 
 he is governor over ali the land of Egypt. 'And 
 t Jacob's heart fainted, for he believed them not. 
 
 27 And they told him all the words of Joseph, 
 which he had said unto them : and when he saw the 
 wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the 
 spirit of Jacob their father revived : 
 
 28 And Israel said, It is enough ; Joseph my son 
 is yet alive : I will go and see him before I die.

 'Thy servants are shepherds, both we, and also our 
 fathers. 
 
 4 They said moreover unto Pharaoh, ■/'For to so- 
 journ in the land are we come : for thy servants have 
 no pasture for their flocks, *for the famine is sore in 
 the land of Canaan : now therefore, we pray thee, let

 ''in the land of Goshen let them dwell: and if thou

 Joseph s dealings in the famine. 
 
 14 'And Joseph gathered up all the money 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 
 unto Joseph, and said, Give us bread : 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 unto Joseph: 
 and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for horses, 
 and for the flocks, and for the cattle of the herds, 
 and for the asses ; and he f fed them with bread, for 
 all their cattle, for that year. 
 
 18 When that year was ended, they came unto him 
 the second year, and said unto him, We will not hide 
 it from my lord, how that our money is spent ; my lord 
 also hath our herds of cattle : there is not aught 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 unto 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 every man his field 
 because the famine prevailed over them : so the land 
 became Pharaoh's. 
 
 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 || priests bought he not; 
 for the priests had a portion assianed them of Pha- 
 
 aoh, and did eat their portion which Pharaoh gave 
 them : wherefore they sold not their lands. 
 
 23 Then Joseph said unto the people, Behold, 1 
 have bought you this day and yo:ir land for Pharaoh . 
 lo, here is seed for you, and ye shall sow the land. 
 
 24 And it shall come to pass in the increase, that 
 ye shall give the fifth part unto 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 grace in the sight of my lord, and we 
 will be Pharaoh's servants. 
 
 26 And Joseph made it a law over the land ot 
 Egypt unto this day, that Pharaoh should have the 
 fifth part; y except the land of the || priests only, 
 which became not Pharaoh's. 
 
 27 IF And Israel z dwelt in the land of Egypt, iu 
 the country of Goshen ; and they had possessions 
 therein, and "grew, and multiplied exceedingly. 
 
 28 And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seven- 
 teen years : so f the whole age of Jacob was an hun- 
 dred forty and seven years. 
 
 29 And the time *drew nigh that Israel must die : 
 and he called his son Joseph, and said unto him, If 
 now I have found grace in thy sight, "put, I pray thee, 
 thy hand under my thigh, and ''deal kindly and truly 
 with me; "bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt: 
 
 30 But-Z'I will fie with my fathers, and thou shalt 
 carry me out of Egypt, and *bury me in their bury- 
 ing-place. And he said, I will do as thou hast said. 
 
 31 And he said, Swear unto me : and he sware 
 unto him. And h Israel bowed himself upon the 
 bed's head.

 J Joseph with Ms sons viiiteth his sick father. 2 Jacob strengthenrth him- 
 se.'f to blest them. 3 Be repeateth the promise. 21 He prophesieth their 
 return to Canaan. 
 
 AND it came to pass after these things, that one 
 told Joseph, Behold, thy father 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 unto thee: and Israel strengthened 
 himself, and sat upon the bed. 
 
 3 And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty 
 appeared unto me at a Luz in the land of Canaan, and 
 blessed me, 
 
 4 And said unto me, Behold, I will make thoe 
 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 II And now, thy c two sons, Ephraim and Ma- 
 nasseh, which were born unto thee in the land of 
 Egypt, before I came unto thee into Egypt, are 
 mine : as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine. 
 
 6 And thy issue, which thou begettest after them, 
 shall be thine, and shall be called after the name of 
 their brethren in their inheritance. 
 
 7 And as for me, when I came from Padan, ''Ra- 
 chel died by me in the land of Canaan, in the way, 
 when yet there was but a little way to come unto 
 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 unto his father, e They are my 
 sons, whom God hath given me in this place. And 
 he said. Bring them, I pray thee, unto me, and J l 
 will bless them. 
 
 10 (Now ff the eyes of Israel were | dim for age, so 
 that he could not see:) and he brought them "near 
 unto him; and ''he kissed them, and embraced them. 
 
 11 And Israel said unto 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 toward Israel's left hand, and Manasseh 
 in his left hand toward Israel's right hand, and 
 brought them near unto 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, k guiding his 
 hands wittingly; for Manasseh was the first-born. 
 
 15 IF And 'he blessed Joseph, and said, God, '"before 
 whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the 
 God which fed me all my life long unto this day, 
 
 L6 The Angel "which redeemed me from all evil, 
 bless the lads; and let "my name be named on them, 
 and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac : 
 and let them f grow into a multitude in the midst 
 of the earth. 
 
 17 And when Joseph saw that his father fi laid his 
 right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it || displeased 
 him: and he held up his father's hand, to remove it 
 from Ephraim's head unto Manasseh's head. 
 
 18 And Joseph said unto 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, 
 vay son, I know it: he also shall become a people,

 6 And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, 
 according as he made thee swear. 
 
 7 II And Joseph went up to bury his father: and 
 with him went up all the servants 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. 
 
 9 And there went up with him both chariots and 
 horsemen: and it was a very 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 sore 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 Egyp- 
 tians : wherefore the name of it was called ■ || Abel- 
 mizraim, which -is beyond Jordan. 
 
 12 And his sons did unto him according as he 
 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 Avith the field 
 for a possession of a burying-place of Ephron the 
 Hittite, before 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, '"they said, Joseph will peradven- 
 ture hate us, and will certainly requite us all the 
 evil which we did unto him. 
 
 16 And they | sent a messenger unto Joseph, say 
 ing, Thy father did command before he died, saying, 
 
 1 7 So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee 
 now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; "for 
 they did unto thee evil : and now, we pray thee, for- 
 give the trespass of the servants of "the God of thy 
 father. And Joseph wept when they spake unto him. 
 
 18 And his brethren also went and p fell down before 
 his face : and they said, Behold, we be thy servants. 
 
 19 And Joseph said unto them, ' y Fear not: Tor 
 am I in the place of God ? 
 
 20 s But as for you, ye thought evil against me; 
 but ' God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it 
 is this day, to save much people alive. 
 
 21 Now therefore fear ye not: "I will nourish 
 you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, 
 and spake | kindly unto them. 
 
 22 IF And Josejm dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's 
 house : and Joseph lived an hundred and ten years. 
 
 23 And Josepn saw Ephraim's children a of the 
 third generation : y the children also of Machir,the son 
 of Manasseh, a were | brought up upon Joseph's knees. 
 
 24 And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die ; and 
 ° God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this 
 land, unto the land b wnieh he sware to Abraham, to 
 Isaac, and to Jacob. 
 
 25 And 'Joseph took an oath of the children of 
 Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye 
 shall carry up my bones from hence. 
 
 26 So Joseph died, being an hundred and 
 years old: and they d embalmed him, and he 
 put in a coffin in Egypt.

 '11 Fhm xoh commandeth the male children to he cast into the river. 
 
 "VTOW "those are the names of the children of 
 i-^i Israel, which 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 As her. 
 
 5 And all the souls that came out of the | loins 
 of Jacob were * seventy souls: 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 fruitful, and in- 
 creased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed ex- 
 ceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them. 
 
 8 Now there 'arose up a new king over Egypt, 
 which knew not Joseph. 
 
 9 And he said unto his people, Behold, Ahe people of 
 the children of Israel are more and mightier than we. 
 
 10 ^Come on, let us ''deal wisely with them ; lest 
 they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there 
 falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, 
 and fight against us, and so get them up out of the laud. 
 
 11 Therefore they did set over them task-masters, 
 *to afflict them with their k burdens. And they built 
 for Pharaoh treasure-cities, Pithom, 'rind Raamses. 
 
 12 f But the more they afflicted them, the more 
 they multiplied and grew. And they tvere grieved 
 because of the children of Israel. 
 
 13 And the Egyptians made the children Of Israel 
 to serve with rigour. 
 
 14 And they "'made their lives bitter with hard 
 bondage, ".in mortar, and in brick, and in all manner 
 of service in the field : all their service wherein they 
 made them serve was with rigour. 
 
 15 lFAnd the king of Egypt spake to the He- 
 brew midwives (of which the name of the one was 
 Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah;) 
 
 16 And he said, When ye do the office of a mid- 
 wife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the 
 stools; 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 
 *as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved 
 the men-children alive. 
 
 18 And the king of Egypt called for the mid- 
 wives, and said unto them, Why have you done this 
 thing, and have saved the men-children alive? 
 
 19 And q the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because 
 Ihe Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; 
 for they are lively, and are delivered ere the mid- 
 wives come in unto them. 
 
 20 r Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: 
 and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty. 
 
 21 And it came to pass, because the midwives 
 feared God, 'that he made them houses. 
 
 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.

 2 And the woman conceived and bare 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, ^liw 
 took for him an ark of bull ashes, and daubed it uiili 
 slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and 
 she laid it on the flags by the river's brink. 
 
 4 r And his sister stood afar oil', to wit what would 
 be done to him. 
 
 5 1f 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 
 anion"; the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it. 
 
 6 And when she had opened it, she saw the child : 
 and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compas- 
 sion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews' 
 children. 
 
 7 Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall 
 1 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 unto her, Take 
 this child away and nurse it for me, and I Avill give 
 thee thy wages. And the woman took the child and 
 nursed it. 
 
 10 And the child grew, and she brought him unto 
 Pharaoh's daughter, and he became 'her son. And 
 she called his name || Moses: and she said, Because 
 I drew him out of the water. 
 
 11 HAnd it came to pass in those days, J when 
 Moses was grown, that he went out unto his breth 
 ren, and looked on their * burdens: and he spied an 
 Egyptian smiting an 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, be- 
 hold, 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 fa prince and 
 a judge over us? intendest thou to kill me, as thou 
 killedst the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, 
 Surely this thing is known. 
 
 15 Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought 
 to slay Moses. But 'Moses fled from the face of 
 Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian : and he 
 sat down by '"a well. 
 
 16 "Now the || priest of Midian had seven daugh 
 ters: "and they came and drew tvater, and fifled the 
 troughs to water their father's flock. 
 
 1 i And the shepherds came and drove them 
 away: but Moses stood up and helped them, and 
 ^watered their flock. 
 
 18 And when -they came to 'Reuel their father, 
 he said, How is it that ye are come so soon to-day? 
 
 19 And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out 
 of the hand of the shepherds, and als3 drew water 
 enough for us, and watered the flock. 
 
 20 And he said unto his daughters, And where is 
 he ? why is it that ye have left the man ? call him, 
 that he mav r eat bread. 
 
 21 And Moses was content to dwell with the man: 
 and he gave Moses, * Zipporah his daughter. 
 
 22 And she bare him a son, and he called his name 
 
 46 
 
JJoses sent to deliver Israel: 
 
 ll'Gershom; for he said, I have been "a stranger in 
 a strange land. 
 
 23 if And it came to pass, r 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 unto God. by reason of the 
 bondage. 
 
 24 And God "heard their groaning, and God ''re- 
 membered his 'covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, 
 and with Jacob. 
 
 25 And God ''looked upon the children of Israel, 
 and God f'had respect unto them.

 2 God appeareth to Moses in a burning bush. 9 lie sendeth him to deliver 
 Israel. 14 T he 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 Hhe 
 mountain of God, even to Horeb. 
 
 2 And r the' Angel of the Lord appeared unto 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. 
 
 o And Moses said, 1 will now turn aside, and see 
 this ''great sight, why the bush is not burnt. 
 
 4 And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to 
 see, God called "unto 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

 thou standest is holy ground. 
 
 G Moreover he said, A '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 H And the Lord said, I have surely seen the 
 affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and 
 'have heard their cry *by reason of their taskmasters; 
 for 'I know their sorrows : 
 
 8 And '"I am come down to "deliver them out of 
 the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up 
 out of that land, " unto a good land, and a large, unto 
 a land ^ flowing with milk and honey; unto the place 
 of «the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amo- 
 rites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the 
 Jebusites. 
 
 9 Now therefore, behold, 'the cry of the children 
 of Israel is come unto me : and I have also seen the 
 "oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them. 
 
 10 'Come now therefore, and I will send thee 
 unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth ni3 r peo- 
 ple, the children of Israel, out of Egypt. 
 
 11 IT And Moses said unto God, " VVho am I, that 
 I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring 
 forth the children of Israel out of Egypt ? 
 
 12 And he said, * Certainly I will be with thee; 
 and this shall be a token unto thee, that I have sent 
 thee : When thou hast brought forth the people out 
 <vf Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain. 
 
 13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I 
 come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto 
 them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto 
 you ; and they shall say to me, What is his name ? 
 what shall I say unto them ? 
 
 14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I 
 AM : And he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the 
 children of Israel, y I AM hath sent me unto you.

 17 And I have said, c 1 will bring you up out of

 Lord God of the Hebrews hath •'met with us ; and 
 now let us go, we beseech thee, three days' journey 
 into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the 
 Lord our God. 
 
 19 ITAnd I am sure that the king of Egypt * will 
 not let you go, || no, not by a mighty hand.

 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 neigh- 
 bour, and of her that sojourneth in her house, jewels

 1 Moses 1 rod is turned into a serpent. 14 Aaron is appointed to assist Am. 
 . 21 God's message to Pharaoh. 24 Zipporah circumciseth. her son 
 27 Aaron is sent to meet Moses. 
 
 AND Moses answered and said, But, behold, they 
 will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice : 
 for they will say, The Lord hath not appeared unto 
 thee. 
 
 2 And the Lord said unto him, What is that in 
 thine hand? And he said, "A rod. 
 
 3 And he said, Cast it on the ground. ' And he 
 cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent : and 
 Moses fled from before it. 
 
 4 And the Lord said unto Moses, Put forth thine 
 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 c the Lord God of 
 their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, 
 and the God of Jacob, hath appeared unto thee. 
 
 6 ITAnd the Lord said furthermore unto him, Put 
 now thine hand into thy bosom. And he putr his 
 hand into his bosom : and when he took it out, be 
 hold, his hand was leprous d as snow. 
 
 7 And he said, Put thine hand into thy bosom 
 again. And he put his hand into his bosom again, 
 and plucked 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 be- 
 lieve thee, neither hearken to the voice of the first 
 sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign 
 
 9 And it snail come to pass, if they will not believe 
 also these two signs, neither hearken unto thy voice, 
 
Moses is sent into Egypt. 
 
 that thou shalt take of the water <>l I lie river, and pour 
 it upon the dry land: aiuKI he water which thou takest 
 out of the river f. shall become blood upon the dry land. 
 
 10 II And Moses said unto the Lord, Onry Lord, 1 
 am not f eloquent, neither f heretofore, nor sinee thou 
 hast spoken unto thy servant : but "1 am slow of 
 speech, and of a slow tongue. 
 
 11 And the Lord said unto him. ''Who hath made 
 man's mouth ? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or 
 the seeing, or the blind ? have not I the Lord ? 
 
 12 Now therefore go, and I will be ' with thy mouth, 
 and teach thee what thou shalt say. 
 
 13 And he said, my Lord, A send, I pray thee, 
 by the hand of him tuhom thou || wilt send. 
 
 • 14 And the anger of the Lord was kindled 
 against Moses, and he said, Is not Aaron the Levite 
 thy brother ? I know that he can speak well. And 
 also, behold, 'he cometh forth to meet thee : and when 
 he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart. 
 
 15 And '" thou shalt speak: unto him, and " put words 
 in his mouth : and I will be with thy mouth, and with 
 Iiis mouth, and "will teach you what ye shall do. 
 
 1G And he shall be thy spokesman unto the peo- 
 ple : and he shall be, even he shall be to thee instead 
 of a mouth, and Hhou shalt be to him instead of God. 
 
 17 And thou shalt take "this rod in thine hand, 
 wherewith thou shalt do signs. 
 
 18 IT And Moses went, and returned to f Jethro his 
 father-in-law, and said unto him, Let me go, I pray 
 thee, and return unto my brethren which are in Egypt, 
 and see whether they be yet alive. And Jethro said 
 to Moses, Go in peace. 
 
 19 And the Lord said unto Moses in Midian, Go, 
 return into Egypt : for 'all the men are dead which 
 sought thy lite. 
 
 20 And Moses took his wife, and his sons, and set 
 them upon an ass, and he returned to the land of 
 Egypt. And Moses took 'the rod of God in his hand. 
 
 21 IT And the Lord said unto Moses, When thou 
 goest to return into Egypt, see that thou do all those 
 
 wonders before Pharaoh which I have put in thine 
 nand : but " 1 will harden his heart, that he shall not 
 let the people go. 
 
 22 And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith 
 the Lord, * Israel is my son, * even my first-born. 
 
 23 And I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he 
 may serve me : and if thou refuse to let him go, be- 
 hold, z l will slay thy son, even thy first-born. 
 
 24 TIAnd it came to pass by the way in the inn, 
 that the Lord "met him, and sought to * kill him. 
 
 25 Then Zipporah took c a sharp ||stone, and cut off 
 the foreskin of her son, and f cast 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 hus- 
 band thou art, because of the circumcision. 
 
 27 IT And the Lord said to Aaron, Go into the 
 wilderness ''to meet Moses. And he went, and met 
 him in e the mount of God, and kissed hiin. 
 
 28 And Moses J told Aaron all the words of the 
 Lord who had sent him, and all the e signs which he. 
 had commanded hirn. 
 
 29 If And Moses and Aaron ''went, and gathered 
 together all the elders of the children of Israel. 
 
 30 'And Aaron spake all the words which the 
 Lord had spoken unto Moses, and did the signs in 
 the sight of the people.

 AND afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and 
 told Pharaoh, Thus saith the Lord God of Is- 
 rael, Let my people go, that they may hold "a feast 
 unto me in the wilderness. 
 
 2 And Pharaoh said, *Who is the Lord, thai 1 
 should obey his voice to let Israel go ? I know not the 
 Lord, 'neither will I let Israel go. 
 
 3 And they said, d The God of the Hebrews hath 
 met with us : let us go, we pray thee, three days' jour- 
 ney into the desert, and sacrifice unto the Lord our 
 God ; lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with 
 the sword. 
 
 4 And the king of Egypt said unto them, Where- 
 fore do ye, Moses and Aaron, let the people from 
 their works? get you unto your 'burdens. 
 
 5 And Pharaon said, Behold, the people of the 
 land now are ■'many, 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 tale of the bricks which they did make 
 heretofore, ye shall lay upon them ; ye shall not 
 diminish aught thereof : for they be idle : therefore 
 they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God 
 
 9 f Let there more work be laid upon the men, 
 
 ft. ell. 6.9. 
 
 that they may labour therein : and let them not re- 
 gard vain words. 
 
 10 IF And the taskmasters of the people went out, 
 and their officers, and they spake to the people, say- 
 ing, Thus saith Pharaoh, I Avill not give you straw. 
 
 11 Go ye, get you straw where you can find it : 
 yet not aught of your work shall be diminished. 
 
 12 So the people were scattered abroad through- 
 out all the land of Egypt, to gather stubble instead 
 of straw. 
 
 13 And the taskmasters hasted them, saying, Fulfil 
 your works, your fdaily tasks,as when there was straw. 
 
 14 And the officers of the children of Israel, which 
 Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were bent- 
 en, and demanded, Wherefore have ye not fulfilled 
 your task in making brick, both yesterday and to day, 
 as heretofore? 
 
 15 IT Then the officers of the children of Israel 
 came and cried unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore 
 dealest thou thus with thy servants;? 
 
 16 There is no straw given unto thy servants, 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 : there- 
 fore ye say, Let us go, and do sacrifice to the Lord. 
 
 18 Go therefore now, and work : for there shall 
 no straw be given you, yet shall ye deliver the tale 
 of bricks. 
 
 19 And the officers of the children of Israel did see 
 that they were in evil case, after it was said, Ye shall 
 not minish aught from your 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 unto them. The Lord look up- 
 on you, and judge; because ye have made our savour

God reneweih Ms promise to Israel. 
 
 f to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the 
 eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand 
 to slay us. 
 
 22 And Moses returned unto the Lord, and said, 
 Lord, wherefore hast thou so evil-entreated this 
 people? why is it that thou hast sent me ? 
 
 23 For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy 
 name, lie hath done evil to this people : f neither 
 hast thou delivered thy people at all.

 1 God reneweth his promise by his name JE1IO VA II. 
 
 THEN the Lord said unto Moses, Now shalt thou 
 see what I will do to Pharaoh : 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 spake unto Moses, and said unto him, 
 I am, || the Lord : 
 
 3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and 
 unto Jacob by the name of 'God Almighty, hut by 
 my name ''JEHOVAH was I not known to them. 
 
 4 e And I have also established my covenant with 
 them, •'"to give them the land of Canaan, the land 
 of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers. 
 
 5 And g I have also heard the groaning of the 
 children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in 
 bondage : and I have remembered my covenant. 
 
 6 Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, ''I 
 am the Lord, and 'I will bring you out from under 
 the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out 
 of their bondage, and I will * redeem you with a 
 stretched-out arm, and with great judgments : 
 
 7 And I will ' take you to me for a people, and 
 m I will be to you a God : and ye shall know that I 
 am the Lord your God, which bringeth you out 
 "from under the burdens of the Egyptians. 
 
 8 And I will bring you in unto the land, concern- 
 ing the which I did f" swear to give it to Abraham, 
 to Isaac, and to Jacob ; and I will give it you for 
 an heritage : J am the Lord. 
 
 9 IT And Moses spake so unto the children of 
 Israel: p but they hearkened not unto Moses, for 
 f anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage. 
 
 10 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 
 
 11 Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that 
 he let the children of Israel go out of his land. 
 
 L2 And Moses spake before the Lord, saying, 
 Behold, the children of Israel have ''not hearkened 
 unto me; how then shall Pharaoh hear me, 'who am 
 of uncircumcised lips ? 
 
 13 And the Lord spake unto Moses, and unto 
 Aaron, and gave them a charge unto the children of 
 Israel, and unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring 
 the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.

 Egypt : these arg that Moses and Aaron. 
 
 28 HAnd it came to pass on the day when the 
 Lord spake unto Moses in the land of Egypt, 
 
 29 That the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, '"1 
 am the Lord: "speak thou unto Pharaoh king of 
 Egypt all that I say unto thee. 
 
 30 And Moses said before the Lord, Behold, "J 
 am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh 
 hearken unto me ? 
 
 CHAP. VII. 
 
 1 Moses is encouraged to go to Pharaoh. 7 His age. 8 Hi* rod is turned 
 into a serpent. 13 Pharaoh's heart is hardened. 19 The river is turned 
 into blood. 
 
 AND the Lord said unto Moses, See, I have 
 made thee "a god to Pharaoh : and Aaron thy 
 brother shall he Hhy prophet. 
 
 2 Thou 'shalt speak all that I command thee : 
 and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, 
 that he send the children of Israel out of his land. 
 
 3 And d I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and 'mul- 
 tiply my Asigns and my wonders in the land of Egypt. 
 
 4 But Pharaoh shall not hearken unto, you, A 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, ''by great judgments. 
 
 5 And the Egyptians 'shall know that I am the 
 Lord, when I* stretch forth mine hand upon Egypt, 
 and bring out the children of Israel from among 
 them. 
 
 6 And Moses and Aaron 'did as the Lord com- 
 manded them, so did they. 
 
 7 And Moses was ""fourscore years old, and Aaror 
 fourscore and three years old, when they spake 
 unto Pharaoh. 
 
 8 IF And the Lord spake unto Moses, and unto 
 Aaron, saying, 
 
 9 When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying 
 "Shew a miracle for you : then thou shalt say unto 
 Aaron, "Take thy rod, and "cast it before Pharaon, 
 and it shall become a serpent. 
 
 10 IT And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh. 
 
Tin. river is turned into blond. 
 
 and they did so ^as the Loud had commanded: and 
 A.aron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before 
 his servants, and it 'became a serpent. 
 
 11 Then Pharaoh also 'called the wise men, and 
 the sorcerers : now the magicians of Egypt, they 
 
 also 'did in like manner with their enchantments. 
 
 12 For they cast down every man his rod, and 
 they became serpents : but Aaron's rod swallowed 
 up their rods. 
 
 13 And he hardened Pharaoh's heart that he 
 hearkened not unto them; "as the Lord had said. 
 
 14 IT And the Lord said unto Moses, x Pharaoh's 
 heart is hardened, he refuseth to let the people go. 
 
 15 Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he 
 goeth out unto the water, and thou shalt stand by ihe 
 river's brink against he come: and y the rod which 
 was turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thine hand. 
 
 16 And thou shalt say unto him, -The Lord God 
 of the Hebrews hath sent me unto thee, saying, Let 
 my people go, " that they may serve me in the wilder- 
 ness : and behold, hitherto thou wouldest not hear. 
 
 17 Thus saith the Lord, In this Hhou shalt know 
 that I am the Lord: behold, I will smite with the 
 rod that is in my hand upon the waters which are 
 in the river, and f they shall be turned ''to blood. 
 
 18 And the fish that is in the river shall die, and 
 the river shall stink : and the Egyptians shall '' loathe 
 to drink of the water of the river. 
 
 19 IT And the Lord spake unto Moses, Say unto 
 Aaron, Take thy rod, and •'stretch out thine hand upon 
 the waters of Egypt, upon their streams, upon their 
 rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all their fpools 
 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 the Lord 
 commanded ; and he ff 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 to ere in the river were turned into blood. 
 
 21 And the fish that was in the river died; and 
 the river stank, and the Egyptians .'could not drink 
 of the water of the river; and there was blood 
 throughout all the land of Egypt. 
 
 22 fc And the magicians of Egypt did so with their 
 enchantments : and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, 
 neither did he hearken unto them; 'as the Lord had 
 said. 
 
 23 And 'Pharaoh turned and went into his house, 
 neither did he set his heart to this also. 
 
 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 the 
 Lord had smitten the river.

 1 Frogs are sent. 25 Pharaoh inclineth to let the people go, 32 but yet is 
 
 hardened. 
 
 AND the Lord spake unto Moses, Go unto Pha- 
 raoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord. 
 Let my people go "that they may serve me. 
 
 2 And if thou 'refuse to let them go, behold, I will 
 smite all thy borders with c frogs : 
 
 3 And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, 
 which shall go up and come into thine house, and 
 into ''thy bed-chamber, and upon thy bed, and into 
 the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and 
 into thine o\ ens. and into thy || kneading-troughs :

 'rite plague of frogs and tic* 
 
 4 And the frogs shall come up both on thee, and 
 upon thy people, and upon all lliv servants 
 
 5 II And the Lord spake unto Moses, Say unto 
 Aaron, 'Stretch forth thine 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 ^the frogs came up, and 
 covered the land of Egypt. 
 
 7 A 'And the magicians did so with their enchant- 
 ments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt 
 
 8 HThen Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, 
 and said, ''Entreat the Lord that he may take away 
 the frogs from me, and from my people : and I will 
 let the people go, that they may do sacrifice unto the 
 Lord. 
 
 9 And Moses said unto Pharaoh, || Glory over 
 me : || when shall I entreat for thee and for thy ser- 
 vants, and for thy people, fto 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 
 that 'there is none like unto the Lord 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 IT And Moses and Aaron Avent out from Pha 
 raoh : and Moses * cried unto the Lord, because of 
 the frogs which he had brought against Pharaoh. 
 
 13 And the Lord 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 together upon heaps . 
 and the land stank. 
 
 15 But when Pharaoh saw that there was 'respite, 
 ™he hardened his heart, and hearkened not unto 
 them; as the Lord had said. 
 
 16 IT And the Lord said unto Moses, Say unto 
 Aaron, Stretch out thy rod, and smite the dust of 
 the land, that it may become lice throughout all th<« 
 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 in man and in beast : all the dust 
 of the land became lice throughout all the land of 
 Egypt. 
 
 lb And "the magicians did so with their enchant- 
 ments to bring forth lice, but they p could not : so 
 there were lice upon man, and upon beast. 
 
 19 Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This 
 is Hhe finger of God: and Pharaoh's r heart was 
 hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the 
 Lord had said. 
 
 20 UAnd the Lord said unto Moses, 'Rise up 
 early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh ; 
 (lo, he cometh forth to the water;) and say unto him, 
 Thus saith the Lord, 'Let my people go. that they 
 may serve me : 
 
 21 Else, 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 sever in that dav the land of 
 Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms 
 of flic h shall be there; to the end thou mayest know 
 
 I am the Lord in the midst of the earth. 
 
 49 
 
 that 
 
T)u plague of flies. 
 
 23 And I will put fa division between my people 
 and thy people : || to-morrow shall this sign be. 
 
 24 And the Lord did so: and * there came a griev- 
 ous swarm of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into 
 his servants' houses, and into all the land of Egypt : the 
 land was || corrupted by reason of the swarm of flies. 
 
 25 II 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 meet so to do; for 
 we shall sacrifice Hhe abomination of the Egyptians 
 to the Lord our God : Lo, shall we sacrifice the 
 abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and 
 will they not stone us '. 
 
 27 We will go z three days' journey into the wil- 
 derness, and sacrifice to the Lord our God, as a he 
 shall command us. 
 
 28 And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that }^e may 
 sacrifice to the Lord your God in the wilderness; 
 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 the Lord that the swarms of flies 
 may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and 
 from his people, to-morrow : but let not Pharaoh "deal 
 deceitfully any more, in not letting the people go to 
 sacrifice to the Lord. 
 
 30 And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and d en- 
 treated the Lord : 
 
 31 And the Lord did according to the word of 
 Moses ; and he removed the swarms of flies from 
 Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; 
 there remained not one. 
 
 32 And Pharaoh e hardened his heart at this time 
 also, neither would he let the people go. 
 
 CHAP. IX. 
 
 1 The murrain of beasts. 27 Pharaoh sueth to Moses, 35 but yet is 
 
 hardened. 
 
 r FHEN the Lord said unto Moses, "Go in unto 
 J- Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith the Lord God 
 of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may 
 serve me. 
 
 2 For if thou 'refuse to let them go, and wilt hold 
 them still, 
 
 3 Behold, the "hand of the Lord is upon thy 
 cattle which is in the field, upon the horses, upon 
 the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen, and upon 
 the sheep : there shall be a very grievous murrain. 
 
 4 And rf the Lord shall sever between the cattle of 
 Israel, and the cattle of Egypt: and there shall 
 nothing die of all that is the children's of Israel. 
 
 5 And the Lord appointed a set time, saying, 
 To-morrow the Lord shall do this thing in the land. 
 
 6 And the Lord did that thing on the morrow, 
 and e all the cattle of Egypt died: but of the cattle 
 of the children of Israel died not one. 
 
 7 And Pharaoh sent, and behold, there was not 
 one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. And •''the 
 heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let 
 the people go. 
 
 8 II And the Lord said unto Moses and unto 
 Aaron, Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, 
 and let Moses sprinkle it toward the heaven in the 
 sight of Pharaoh. 
 
 9 And it shall become small dust in all the land 
 of Egypt, and shall be *a boil breaking forth with 
 blains 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 toward

 heaven: and it became ''a boil breaking forth with 
 blains upon man, and upon beast. 
 
 11 And the 'magicians could not stand before 
 Moses, because of the boils : for the boil was upon 
 the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians. 
 
 12 And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, 
 and he hearkened not unto them; fc as the Lord had 
 spoken unto Moses. 
 
 13 IT And the Lord said unto Moses, 'Bise up 
 early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and 
 say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God of the He- 
 brews, Let my people go, that they may serve me. 
 
 14 For I will at this time send all my plagues 
 upon thine heart, and upon thy servants, and upon 
 thy people: "that thou mayest know that there is 
 none like me in all the earth. 
 
 15 For now I will "stretch out my hand, that 1 
 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 f raised 
 thee up, for to shew in thee my power; and tha.t 
 my name may be declared throughout all the earth. 
 
 17 As yet exaltest thou thyself against my peo- 
 ple, 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 m 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 the Lor^» among 
 the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his 
 cattle flee into the houses : 
 
 21 And he that t regarded not the word of the 
 Lord left his servants and his cattle in the field. 
 
 22 H And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch forth 
 thine hand toward heaven, that there may be ^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 his rod toward 
 heaven, and 9 the Lord sent thunder and hail, and 
 the fire ran along upon the ground : and the Lord 
 rained hail upon the land of Egypt. 
 
 24 So there was hail, and fire mingled with the 
 hail, very grievous, such as there was 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 ''smote every herb of the field and brake 
 every tree of the fold. 
 
 26 'Only in the land of Goshen, where the chil- 
 dren of Israel were, was there no hail. 
 
 27 IT And Pharaoh sent and called for Moses and 
 Aaron, and said unto them, 'I have sinned this time : 
 u the Lord is righteous, and 1 and my people are wicked. 
 
 28 x Entreat the Lord (for it is enough) that there 
 be no more \ mighty thundcrings and hail; and I will 
 let you go, and ye shall stay no longer. 
 
 29 And Moses said unto him, As soeu as 1 am 
 gone out of the city, I will ^spread abroad my hands 
 unto the Lord; and the thunder shall cea^e. neither 
 shall there be any more hail ; that thou mayest know 
 how that the z earth is the Lord's. 
 
 30 But as for thee and thy servants. "I kno^' that 
 ye will not yet fear the Lord God.

 7 Pharaoh, movtJby hit servants, inclineth to lei the Israelites go. 12 The 
 plague of the locusts. 10 Pharaoh sueth to Moses. 
 
 AND the Lord said unto Moses, Go in unto Pha- 
 raoh : " for I have hardened his heart, and the 
 heart of his servants; Hhat I might shew these my 
 signs before him: 
 
 2 And that 'thou mayest tell in the ears of thy 
 son, and ol thy son's son, what things I have wrought 
 in Egypt, and my signs which I have done among 
 them; that ye may know how that I am the Lord. 
 
 3 And Moses and Aaron came in unto Pharaoh, 
 and said unto him. Thus saith the Lord God of the He- 
 brews, How long wilt thou refuse to ''humble thyself 
 before me ? Let my people go, that they may serve me. 
 
 4 Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, 
 to-morrow will I bring the e locusts into thy coast : 
 
 5 And they shall cover the fface of the earth, 
 that one cannot be able to see the earth : and ''they 
 6hall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which 
 remaineth unto you from the hail, and shall eat every 
 tree which groweth for you out of the field: 
 
 6 And they s shall fill thy houses, and the houses 
 of all thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyp- 
 tians; which neither thy fathers, nor thy fathers' 
 fathers have seen, since the day that they were 
 upon the earth unto this day. And he turned him- 
 self, and went out from Pharaoh. 
 
 7 And Pharaoh's servants said unto him, How 
 long shall this man be "a snare unto us? Let the 
 men go, that they may serve the Lord their God : 
 Knowest thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed? 
 
 8 And Moses and Aaron were brought again un- 
 to Pharaoh: and he said unto them, Go, serve the 
 Lord your God ■ but t who 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 daugh- 
 ters, with our Hocks and with our herds will we go: 
 for ' we must hold a feast unto the Lord. 
 
 10 And he said unto them, Let the Lord be so 
 with you, as 1 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 
 the Lord; for that ye did desire. And they were 
 driven out from Pharaoh's presence. 
 
 12 1FAnd the Lord said unto Moses, * Stretch out 
 thine baud 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 the Lord brought an east wind upon 
 the laud all that day, and all that night: and when it 
 •vas morning, the east wind brought the locusts.

 14 And m the locusts wont up overall the land of 
 Egypt, and rested in all the coasts of Egypt: veti 
 
 grievous werethey ; "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 7 ' did eat 
 every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the tr< 
 whicQ the hail had left : and there remained not 
 any green thing in the trees, or in the herbs of the 
 field, through all the land of Egypt. 
 
 10 If Then Pharaoh f called for Moses and Aaron 
 in haste; and he said, «I have sinned against the 
 Lord your God, and against you. 
 
 17 Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin 
 only this once, and r entreat the Lord your God 
 that he may take away from me this death only. 
 
 18 And he 'went out from Pharaoh, and en- 
 treated the Lord. 
 
 19 And the Lord turned a mighty strong west 
 wind which took away the locusts, and feast them 
 'into the Red sea: there remained not one locust in 
 all the coasts of Egypt. 
 
 20 But the Lord "hardened Pharaoh's heart, so 
 that he would not let the children of Israel go. 
 
 21 IF And the Lord said unto Moses, x Stretch 
 out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be 
 darkness over the land of Egypt, feven darkness 
 which may be felt. 
 
 22 And Moses stretched forth his hand toward 
 heaven: and there was a v thick darkness in all ihe 
 land of Egypt three days : 
 
 23 They saw not one another, neither rose any 
 from his place for three days: 2 but all the children 
 of Israel had light in their dwellings. 
 
 24 IF And Pharaoh called unto Moses, and "said, 
 Go ye, serve the Lord : only let your flocks and your 
 herds be stayed : let your * little ones also go with you. 
 
 25 And Moses said, Thou must give fus also 
 sacrifices, and burnt-offerings, that we may sacrifice 
 unto the Lord our God. 
 
 20 Our cattle also shall go with us; there shall 
 not an hoof be left behind; for thereof must we take

 me, take heed to thyself, see my face no more : for 
 in that day thou seest my face, thou shalt die.

 one plague more upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt ; 
 afterwards he will let you go hence: "when he shall 
 let you go, he shall surely thrust you out hence al-

 2 Speak now in the ears of the people, and let every

 6 *And there shall be a great cry throughout all

 ing, Get thee out, and all the people f that follow

 2 ° This month shall be unto you the beginning of 
 months : it shall be the first month of the year to you. 
 
 3 IT Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, 
 paying, In the tenth day of this month they shall 
 take to them every man a || lamb according to the 
 house of their fathers, a lamb for an house : 
 
 4 And if the household be too little for the lamb, 
 let him and his neighbour next unto his house take 
 it according to the number of the souls : every man 
 according to his eating shall make your count for 
 the lamb. 
 
 5 Your lamb shall be * without blemish, a male 
 fof the first year: ye shall take it out from the 
 sheep or from the goats : 
 
 6 And ye shall keep it up until the c fourteenth day 
 of the same month : and the whole assembly of the 
 congregation of Israel shall kill it tin the evening. 
 
 7 And they shall take of the blood, and strike it 
 on the two side-posts, and on the upper door-post 
 of the houses, wherein they shall eat it. 
 
 8 And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast 
 with fire, and d unleavened bread; and with bitter 
 herbs they shall eat it. 
 
 9 Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, 
 but e roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with 
 the purtenance thereof. 
 
 10 J And ye shall let nothing of it remain until 
 the morning : and that which remaineth of it until 
 the morning ye shall burn with fire.

 door of his house until the morning. 
 
 23 a For the Lord will pass through to smite the 
 Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the 
 lintel, and on the two side-posts, the Lord will pass 
 over the door, and 'will not suffer 'the destroyer to 
 come in unto your houses to smite you. 
 
 24 And ye shall observe this thing for an ordi- 
 nance to thee and to thy sons for ever. 
 
 25 And it shall come to pass, when ye be come 
 to the land which the Lord will give you, d according 
 as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this service. 
 
 26 e And it shall come to pass, when your children 
 shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service ? 
 
 27 That ye shall say/It is the sacrifice of the 
 Lord'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 s bowed the head and worshipped. 
 
 28 And the children of Israel went away, and 
 ; 'did as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron, 
 so did they. 
 
 29 11 "And it came to pass, that at midnight *the 
 Lord smote all the first-born in the land of Egypt, 
 1 from the first-born of Pharaoh that sat on his throne, 
 unto the first-born of the captive that was in the 
 f dungeon; and all the first-born of cattle. 
 
 30 And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all 
 his servants, and all thf; Egyptians; and there was 
 a m great cry in Egypt for there was not a 'iou.se 
 where there was not one dead. 
 
[Tie ordinance of the passover. 
 
 31 IT And "he called for Moses and Aaron by night, 
 and said. Rise up, and get you forth from among my 
 people, "both ye and the children of Israel: and go, 
 6erve the Lord, 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 
 
 Eeople, that they might send them out of the land in 
 aste; for they said, 'We be all dead men. 
 
 34 And the people took their dough before it was 
 eavened, their || kneading troughs being bound up 
 
 in their clothes upon their shoulders. 
 
 35 And the childien of Israel did according to the 
 word of Moses : and they borrowed of the Egyptians 
 'jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment. 
 
 36 "And the Lord gave the people favour in the sight 
 of the Egyptians,so that they lent unto them such things 
 as they required: and *they spoiled the Egyptians. 
 
 37 II And Uhe children of Israel journeyed from 
 'Rameses to Succoth, about "six hundred "thousand 
 on foot that were men, beside children. 
 
 38 And fa mixed multitude went up also with 
 them; and flocks, and herds, even very much 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 pre- 
 pared for themselves any victual. 
 
 40 IF Now the sojourning of the children of Israel Avho 
 dwelt in Egypt, was c four hundred and thirty years. 
 
 41 And it came to pass, at the end of the four 
 hundred and thirty years, even the self-same day 
 it came to pass, that all rf the hosts of the Lord went 
 out from the land of Egypt. 
 
 42 It is 4e a night to be much observed unto the 
 Lord, for bringing them out from the land of Egypt : 
 this is that night of the Lord to be observed of all 
 the children of Israel in their generations. 
 
 43 IF And the Lord said unto Moses and Aaron, 
 This is /"the ordinance of the passover : there shall 
 no stranger eat thereof: 
 
 44 But every man's servant that is bought for 
 money, when thou hast s circumcised him, then shall 
 he eat thereof. 
 
 45 A A foreigner, and an hired servant shall not eat 
 thereof. 
 
 46 In one house shall it be eaten ; thou shalt not 
 carry forth aught of the flesh abroad out of the house: 
 neither shall ye break a bone thereof. 
 
 47 *A11 the congregation of Israel shall tkeep it. 
 
 48 And 'when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, 
 and will keep the passover to the Lord, 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 the 
 land : for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof. 
 
 49 '"One law shall be to him that is home-born, 
 and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you. 
 
 50 Thus did all the children of Israel; as the 
 Lord commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they. 
 
 51 "And it came to pass the self-same day, that 
 the Lord did bring the children of Israel out of the 
 land of Egypt «by their armies.

 3 IF A 1 1 ( 1 Moses said unto the people, * Remember 
 this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of 
 the house of f bondage; for r by strength of hand 
 the LOED brought you out from this peace: ''there 
 shall no leavened bread be eaten. 
 
 4 "This day came ye out, in the month Abib. 
 
 5 IF And it shall be when the Lord shall ■'"bring 
 thee into the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittitets, 
 and the Amorites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, 
 which he *sware unto 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 thou shal* eat unleavened bread, 
 and in the seventh day shall be a feast to the Lord. 
 
 7 Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days i 
 and there shall *no leavened bread be seen with thee, 
 neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in all 
 thy quarters. 
 
 8 lAnd thou shalt 'shew thy son in that day, 
 saying, This is done because of that which the Lord 
 did unto me when I came forth out of Egypt. 
 
 9 And it shall be for m a sign unto thee upon thine 
 hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes; that 
 the Lord's law may be in thy mouth : for with a 
 strong hand hath the Lord brought thee out of Egypt. 
 
 10 "Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in 
 his season from year to year. 
 
 11 IF And it shall be when the Lord shall bring 
 thee into the land of the Canaanites, as he sware 
 unto thee and to thy fathers, and shall give it thee ; 
 
 12 "That thou shalt fset apart unto the Lord all 
 that openeth the matrix; and every firstling that 
 cometh of a beast which thou hast, the males shall 
 be the Lord's. 
 
 13 And l ' every firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem 
 with a || lamb ; and if thou wilt not redeem it, then 
 thou shalt break his neck : and all the first-bom di 
 man among thy children q shalt thou redeem. 
 
 14 IF' - And it shall be when thy son asketh thee f in 
 time to come, saying, What is this ? that thou shalt 
 say unto him, •'By strength of hand the Lord brought 
 us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage : 
 
 15 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would 
 hardly let us go, that 'the Lord slew all the first-born 
 in the land of Egypt, both the first-born of man, and 
 the first-born of beast: therefore I sacrifice to the 
 Lord all that openeth the matrix, being males; but 
 all the first-born of my children I redeem. 
 
 16 And it shall be for u a token upon thine hand, 
 and for frontlets between thine eyes : for by strength 
 of hand the Lord brought us forth out of Egypt. 
 
 17 IFAnd it came to pass, when Pharaoh 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 perad venture the people * repent 
 when they see war, and Hhey return to Egypt: 
 
 18 But God z led the people about, through the way 
 of the wilderness of the Red sea : and the children of 
 Israel went up fj harnessed out of the land of Egypt. 
 
 19 And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him : 
 for he had straitly sworn the children of Israel, say- 
 ing, "God will surely visit you; and ye shall carry 
 up my bones away hence with you. 
 
 20 IFAnd *they took their journey from Succoth.and 
 encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.

 CHAP. XIV. 
 
 1 God instructeth the Israelites in their journey. 5 Pharaoh pursueth nfier 
 them. 21 The Israelites pass throuyh the Red sea, 23 which drowneth 
 the Egyptians. 
 
 AND the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 
 2 Speak unto the children of Israel, a that they 
 turn and encamp before 6 Pi-hahiroth, between 'Mig- 
 dol and the sea, over against Baal-zephon: before it 
 shall ye encamp by the sea. 
 
 3 For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, 
 d They are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath 
 shut them in. 
 
 4 And e I wdl harden Pharaoh's heart, that he shall 
 follow after them; and I •''will be honoured upon 
 Pharaoh, and upon all his host; ff that the Egyptians 
 may know that I am the Lord. And they did so. 
 
 5 HAnd it was told the king of Egypt that the 
 people 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 chariots, and 
 all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over every 
 one of them. 
 
 8 And the Lord k hardened the heart of Pharaoh 
 king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of 
 Israel : and ' the children of Israel went out with an 
 high hand. 
 
 9 But the m Egyptians pursued after them (all the 
 horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, 
 and his army) and overtook them encamping by the 
 sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, before Baal-zephon. 
 
 10 HAnd when Pharaon drew ni^h, the children 
 of Israel lifted up their eyes, and heboid, the Egyp- 
 tians marched after them ; and they were sore afraid : 
 and the children of Israel "cried out unto the Lord. 
 
 11 "And they said unto Moses, Because there were 
 no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die 
 in the wilderness ; Wherefore hast thou dealt thus 
 with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt ? 
 
 12 p 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 wil- 
 derness. 
 
 13 HAnd Moses said unto the people, 'Fear ye 
 not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, 
 which he will shew to you to-day : !l for the Egypt- 
 tians whom ye have seen to-day, ye shall see them 
 again no more for ever. 
 
 14 'The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall 
 hold your peace. 
 
 15 HAnd the Lord said unto Moses, Wherefore 
 eriest thou unto me? Speak unto the children of 
 Israel, that they go forward : 
 
 16 But 'lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine 
 hand over liie sea, and divide it: and the children 
 of Israel shall go on dry ground through 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

 21 And Moso.3 * stretched out his hand over the 
 sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a 
 strong east wind all that night, and c macle the sea 
 dry land, and the waters were ''divided. 
 
 22 And e the children of Israel went into the midst 
 of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters 
 were f a, wall unto them on their right hand, and on 
 their left. 
 
 23 HAnd 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 morning-watch 
 A 'the Lord looked unto the host of the Egyptians) 
 through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and trou- 
 bled trie host of the Egyptians, 
 
 25 And took off their chariot-wheels, || that thev 
 drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians saici. 
 Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the Lorij 
 ''fighteth for them against the Egyptians. 
 
 26 HAnd the Lord said unto Moses, ' Stretch out. 
 thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come 
 again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and 
 upon their horsemen. 
 
 27 And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, 
 and the sea ^returned to his strength when the morning 
 appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the 
 Lord '-[overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. 
 
 28 And m the waters returned, and "covered the 
 chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pha- 
 raoh that came into the sea after them: there re- 
 mained 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 unto them on their right hand, and on their left. 
 
 30 Thus the Lord '' .saved Israel that day out of 
 the hand of the Egj'ptians: and Israel 5 saw the 
 Egyptians dead upon the seashore. 
 
 31 And Israel saw that great fwork which trie 
 Lord did upon the Egyptians ; and the people feared 
 the Lord, and 'believed the Lord, and his servant 
 Moses.

 1 Moses' song. 23 The waters at Marah are bitter. 
 
 THEN sang "Moses and the children of [srael 
 this song unto the Lord, and spake, saying, 
 I will * sing unto the Lord, for he hath triumphed 
 gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown 
 into the sea. 
 
 2 The Lord is my strength and 'song, and he is 
 become my salvation : he is my God, and I will pre- 
 pare him ''an habitation; my 'father's God, and 1 
 ''will exalt him.

 'name.

 into the sea: *his chosen captains also are drowned 
 in the Red sea. 
 
 5 'The depths have covered them: "'they sank 
 into the bottom as a stone. 
 
 6 "Thy right hand, Lord, is become glorious in 
 power : thy right hand, Lord, hath dashed in pieces 
 the enemy. 
 
 7 And in the greatness of thine "excellency thou 
 hast overthrown them that rose up against thee: 
 thou sentest forth thy wrath, which ''consumed them 
 »as stubble. 
 
 8 And r with the blast of thy nostrils the waters 
 were gathered together, 'the floods stood upright as 
 an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart 
 of the sea. 
 
 9 'The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, 
 
 I will "divide the spoil: my lust shall be satisfied 
 upon them; I will draw my sword, mine hand shall 
 
 II destroy them. 
 
 10 Thou didst -""blow with thy wind, y the sea co- 
 vered them : they sank as lead in the mighty waters. 
 
 11 z Who is like unto thee, Lord, among the 
 ] gods? who is like thee, "glorious in holiness, fear- 
 ful in praises, b doing wonders ? 
 
 12 Thou streteheust out c thy right hand, the earth 
 swallowed them. 
 
 13 Thou in thy mercy hast ''led forth the people 
 which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them 
 in thy strength unto e thy holy habitation. 
 
 14 'The people shall near, and be afraid: s sorrow 
 shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina. 
 
 15 *Then 'the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; 
 'the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold 
 upon them; 'all the inhabitants of Canaan shall 
 melt away. 
 
 16 m Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the 
 greatness of thine arm they shall be as still "as a 
 stone; till thy people pass over, Lord, till the 
 people pass over, "which thou hast purchased. 
 
 17 Thou shalt bring them in, and /'plant them in 
 the mountain of thine inheritance, in the place, 
 Lord, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in ; 
 in the '' sanctuary, Lord, ivhich thy hands have 
 established. 
 
 18 'The Lord shall reign for ever and ever. 
 
 19 For the 'horse of Pharaoh went in with his 
 chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and 
 
 the Lord brought again the waters of the sea upon 
 them : but the children of Israel went on dry land 
 in the midst of the sea. 
 
 20 *iIAnd Miriam "the prophetess, *the sister of 
 Aharon, '■> took a timbrel in her hand ; and all the women 
 went out after her, z with timbrels, and with dances. 
 
 21 And Miriam "answered them, 'Sing ye to the 
 Lord, for he hath triumphed gloriously : 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 wilderness of c Shur; and 
 they went three days in the wilderness, and found 
 no water. 
 
 23 IT And when they came to ''Marah, they could 
 not drink of the waters of Marah; for they were 
 bitter : therefore the name of it was called || Marah. 
 
 24 And the people e murmured against Moses, 
 saying, What shall we drink ? 
 
 25 And he -/cried unto the Lord; and the Lord 
 shewed him a tree, h zvhich when he had cast into 
 hhe waters, the waters were made sweet: there he

 wells of water, and threescore and ten palm-trees* 
 and they encamped there by the waters. 
 
 CHAP. XVI. 
 
 2 The Israelites murmur f'jr want of bread. 4 Gud promiseth litem breaa 
 from heaven, 11 Quails are sent, 14 and manna. 
 
 AND they "took their journey from Elim, and all 
 the congregation of the children of Israel came 
 unto the wilderness of * Sin, which is between Elim 
 and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month 
 after their departing out of the land of Egypt. 
 
 2 And the whole congregation of the children of 
 Israel c murmured against Moses and Aaron in the 
 wilderness : 
 
 3 And the children of Israel said unto them, 
 ''Would to God we had died by the hand of the 
 Lord in the land of Egypt, 'when we sat by thft 
 flesh-pots, and when we did eat bread to the full . 
 for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, 
 to kill this whole assembly with hunger. 
 
 4 TIThen said the Lord unto Moses, Behold, I 
 will rain ■/'bread from heaven for you ; and the people 
 shall go out and gather f a certain rate every day, 
 that I may * prove them, whether they will walk m 
 my law, or no. 
 
 5 And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth 
 day they shall prepare that which they bring in; 
 and ''it shall be twice as much as they gather daily. 
 
 6 And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children 
 of Israel, 'At even, then ye shall know that the 1 okd 
 hath brought you out from the land of Egypt : 
 
 7 And in the morning, then ye shall see Hhe 
 glory of the Lord : for that he heareth your - mur- 
 murings against the Lord : and ' what are we, that 
 ye murmur against us ? 
 
 8 And Moses said, This shall be when the Lord 
 shall give you in the evenin°; flesh to eat, and in 
 the morning bread to the full; for that the Lord 
 heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against 
 him : and what arc Ave ? your murmurings are not 
 against us, but "'against the Lord. 
 
 9 HAnd Moses spake unto Aaron, Say unto all 
 the congregation of the children of Israel, "Come 
 near before the Lord : for he hath heard your niur 
 minings. 
 
 10 And it came to pass, as Aaron spake unto the 
 whole congregation of the children of Israel, that 
 they looked toward the wilderness, and behold, the 
 glory of the Lord "appeared in the cloud. 
 
 11 IFAnd the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 
 
 12 p I have heard the murmurings of the children 
 of Israel; speak unto them, saying, ? At even ye 
 shall eat flesh, and r in the morning ye shall be filled 
 with bread : and ye shall know that I am the Lord 
 your God. 
 
 13 And it came to pass, that at even 'the quails 
 came up, and covered the camp: and in the morn- 
 ing ' the dew lay round about the host. 
 
 14 And when the dew that lay was gone up, be- 
 hold, upon the face of the wilderness there fay "k 
 
Manna preserved. 
 
 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 manna : for they wist 
 not what it was. And Moses said unto them, a This 
 is the bread which the Lord hath given you to eat. 
 
 16 If This is the thing which the Loan hath com- 
 manded, Gather of it every man according to his 
 eating: ^an omer f for every man according to the 
 number of your f persons, take yo every man for 
 than which are in his tents. 
 
 17 And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, 
 some more, some less. 
 
 18 And when they did mete it with an omer, ''he 
 that gathered much had nothing over, and he that 
 gathered little had no lack: they gathered every 
 man according to his eating. 
 
 19 And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till 
 the morning. 
 
 20 Notwithstanding, they hearkened not unto 
 Moses; but some of them left of it until the morn- 
 ing, and it bred worms, and stank : and Moses was 
 wroth with them. 
 
 21 And they gathered it every morning, every 
 man according to his eating: and Avhen the sun 
 waxed hot it melted. 
 
 22 lIAnd 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 unto them, This is that which 
 the Lord hath said, To-morrow is " the rest of the 
 holy sabbath unto the Lord : bake that Avhich ye 
 will bake to-day, and seethe that ye will seethe; 
 and that which remaineth over, lay up for you to be 
 kept until the morning. 
 
 24 And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses 
 bade : and it did not b stink, neither was there any 
 worm therein. 
 
 25 And Moses said, Eat that to-day; for to-day 
 is a sabbath unto the Lord; to-day ye shall not find 
 it in the field. 
 
 26 c Six days ye shall gather it ; but on the seventh 
 lay, ivhich is the sabbath, in it there shall be none. 
 
 27 II And it came to pass, that there went out 
 amue of the people on the seventh day for to gather, 
 and they found none. 
 
 28 And the Lord said unto Moses, How long ''re- 
 fuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws ? 
 
 29 See, for that the Lord hath given you the sab- 
 bath, 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 day. 
 
 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 made with honey. 
 
 32 HAnd Moses said, This is the thing which the 
 Lord commandeth, Fill an omer of it to be kept for 
 your generations; that they may see the bread 
 wherewith I have fed you in the wilderness, when 
 I brought you forth from the land of Egypt. 
 
 33 And Moses said unto Aaron, -/"Take a pot, and 
 put an omer full of manna therein, and lay it up 
 before the Lord, to be kept for your generations. 
 
 34 As the Lord commanded Moses, so Aaron laid 
 it up e before the Testimony, to be kept

 AND "all the congregation of the children of Israel 
 journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, after 
 their journeys, according to the commandment of 
 the Lord, and pitched in Rephidim : and there was 
 no water for the people to drink. 
 
 2 b Wherefore the people did chide with Moses, 
 and said, Give us water that we may drink. And 
 Moses said unto them, Why chide ye with me ? 
 wherefore do ye c tempt the Lord? 
 
 3 And the people thirsted there for water ; 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 unto the Lord, saying, Wha» 
 shall I do unto this people ? they be almost ready 
 toAstone me. 
 
 5 And the Lord said unto Moses, *Go on before 
 the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel : 
 and thy rod, wherewith ''thou smotest 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 chiding of the children 
 of Israel, and because they, tempted the Lord, say- 
 ing, Is the Lord among us, or not ? 
 
 8 IF Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel 
 in Rephidim. 
 
 9 And" Moses said unto "'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 mine 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 wdien 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 hia 
 hands were steady until the going down of the sun. 
 
 13 And Joshua discomfited Amalek and hia 
 people with the edge of the sword. 
 
 14 And the Lord said unto Moses, p Write this 
 for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears 
 of Joshua: for 9 I will utterly put out the remem- 
 brance of Amalek from under heaven. 
 
 15 And Moses built an altar, and called the 
 name of it || JEHOVAH-nissi : 
 
 16 For ha said, || Because f the Lord hath sworn 
 that the Lord will have Avar with Amalek from gene- 
 ration to generation. 
 
 CHAP. XVIII. 
 
 1 Jethro bringeth to Moses his wife and two sons. 7 Moses enttriaineth 
 
 him. 
 
 WHEN "Jethro the priest of Midian, Moses 
 father-in-law, heard of all that * God had done 
 
Jethro' s counsel to Moses. 
 
 for Moses, and for Israel his people, and that the 
 Lord had brought Israel out of Egypt : 
 
 2 Then Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, took Zippo- 
 rah, Moses' wife, c after he had sent her back, 
 
 3 And her ''two sons ; of which the e name of the 
 one was || Gershom ; (for he said, I have been an 
 alien in a strange land :) 
 
 4 And the name of the other was || Eliezer ; (for 
 the God of my father, said he, was mine help, and 
 delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh :) 
 
 5 And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, came with his 
 sons and his wife unto Moses into the wilderness, 
 where he encamped at 'the mount of God : 
 
 6 And he said unto Moses, I thy father-in-law 
 Jethro am come unto thee, and thy wife, and her 
 two sons with her. 
 
 7 IT And Moses *went out to meet his father-in- 
 law, and did obeisance, and ''kissed him: and they 
 asked each other of their t welfare ; and they came 
 mto the tent. 
 
 8 And Moses told his father-in-law all that the 
 Loan had done unto Pharaoh, and to the Egyptians for 
 Israel's sake, and all the travail that had f come upon 
 I hem by the way, and hoio the Lord ''delivered them. 
 
 9 And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which 
 the Lord had done to Israel, whom he had delivered 
 out of the hand of the Egyptians. 
 
 10 And Jethro said, "Blessed he the Lord, who 
 hath delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, 
 and out of the hand of Pharaoh, who hath delivered 
 the people from under the hand of the Egyptians. 
 
 11 Now I know that the Lord is 'greater than all 
 gods : '"for in the thing wherein they dealt "proudly, 
 he was above them. 
 
 12 And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, took a burnt- 
 and sacrifices for God: and Aaron came, 
 
 and all the elders of Israel to eat bread with Moses' 
 father-in-law, "before God. 
 
 13 IT And it came to pass on the morrow, that 
 Moses sat to judge the people : and the people stood 
 by Moses from the morning unto 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 unto even ? 
 
 15 And Moses said unto his father-in-law, Be- 
 cause p the people come unto me to inquire of God : 
 
 16 When they have ? a matter, they come unto me, 
 and I judge between t one and another, and I do 
 r make them know the statutes of God, and his laws. 
 
 17 And Moses' father-in-law said unto him, The 
 thing that thou doest is not good. 
 
 18 f Thou wilt surely wear away, both thou, and 
 this people that is with thee : for this thin» is too heavy 
 for thee ; *thou art not able to perform it thyself alone. 
 
 19 Hearken now unto my voice, I will give thee 
 counsel, and ' God shall be with thee : Be thou " for 
 the people to God- ward, that thou may est 'bring 
 the causes unto God: 
 
 20 And thou shalt y teach them ordinances and 
 laws, and shalt shew them Hhe way 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 c fear God, d men of truth, 
 e hating covetousness ; and place such over them to 
 be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers 
 of fifties, a,nd rulers of tens :

 22 And let them judge the people / ;it all seasons : 
 *and it shall be, that every great matter they shall 
 bring unto thee, but every small matter they shall 
 judge: so shall it be easier for thyself, and ''they 
 shall 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 alf 
 this 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 people, rulers of thou- 
 sands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of' fifties, and rulers 
 of tens. 
 
 26 And they m judged the people at all seasons 
 the "hard causes they brought unto Moses, but 
 every small matter they judged themselves. 
 
 27 IT And Moses let his father-in-law depart: and 
 "he went his way into his own land. 
 
 CHAP. XIX. 
 
 1 The people come to Sinai. 3 God's message by Moses unto the people out 
 of the mount. 12 The mountain must not be touched. 16 The presenci 
 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 wilderness of Sinai. 
 
 2 For they were departed from b Rephidim, and w ere 
 come to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wil- 
 derness; and there Israel camped before f the mount. 
 
 3 And ''Moses went up unto God, and the Lord 
 'called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus 
 shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the 
 children of Israel ; 
 
 4 f Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, 
 and how 8 I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought 
 you unto myself. 
 
 5 Now ''therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, 
 and keep my covenant, then 'ye shall be a peculiar 
 treasure unto me above all people : for A all the earth 
 is mine : 
 
 6 And ye shall be unto me a 'kingdom of priests, 
 and an "'holy nation. These are the words which 
 thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel. 
 
 7 II And Moses came and called for the elders of 
 the people, and laid before their faces all these words 
 which the Lord commanded him. 
 
 8 And "all the people answered together, and said, 
 All that the Lord hath spoken we will do. And Mo- 
 ses returned the words of the people unto the Lord. 
 
 9 And the Lord said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto 
 thee "in a thick cloud, ''that the people may hear when 
 I speak with thee, and q believe thee for ever. And 
 Moses told the words of the people unto the Lord. 
 
 10 IT And the Lord said unto Moses, Go unto the 
 people, and 'sanctify them to-day and to-morrow, 
 and let them *wash their clothes, 
 
 11 And be ready against the third day : for the 
 third day the Lord ( wul oome down in the sight of 
 all the people upon mount Sinai. 
 
 12 And thou shalt set bounds unto the people 
 round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, thai 
 m go not up into the mount, or touch the border of 
 it; "whosoever 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 bo 
 beast or man, it shall not live: when the || 'trumpet 
 soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount. 
 
 67 
 
God's presence on ihe mount. 
 
 14 II And Moses went down from the mount unto 
 the people, and " sanctified the people; and they 
 washed their clothes. 
 
 15 And he said unto the people, *Be ready against 
 the third day: "come not at your wives. 
 
 16 If And it came to pass on the third day in the 
 morning, that there were 'thunders and lightnings, 
 and a c thick cloud upon the mount, and the ''voice 
 of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the peo- 
 ple that was in the camp c trembled. 
 
 17 And -/"Moses brought forth the people out of 
 the camp to meet with God ; and they stood at the 
 nether part of the mount. 
 
 18 And Amount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, 
 because the Lord descended upon it ''in fire: 'and 
 the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a fur- 
 nace, and *the whole mount quaked greatly. 
 
 19 And 'when the voice of the trumpet sounded 
 long, and waxed louder and louder, m Moses spake, 
 and " God answered him by a voice. 
 
 20 And the Lord came down upon mount Sinai, 
 on the top of the mount : and the Lord called Moses 
 up to the top of the mount; and Moses went up. 
 
 21 And the Lord said unto Moses, Go down, 
 f charge the people, lest they break through unto 
 the Lord • to gaze, and many of them perish. 
 
 22 And let the priests also, which come near to 
 the Lord, ; ' sanctify themselves, lest the Lord ? break 
 forth upon them. 
 
 23 And Mdses said unto the Lord, The people can- 
 not come up to mount Sinai : for thou chargedst us, 
 saying, r Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify it. 
 
 24 And the Lord said unto him, Away, 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 unto the Lord, lest he break 
 forth upon them. 
 
 25 So Moses went down unto the people, and 
 spake unto them. 
 
 CHAP. XX. 
 
 1 The ten commandments. 22 Idolatry is forbidden. 24 Of what sort the 
 
 altar should be. 
 
 4 ND God spake "all these words, saying, 
 l\. 2 * I am the Lord thy God, which have brought 
 thee out of the land of Egypt, c out of the house of 
 f bondage. 
 
 3 ''Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 
 
 4 r Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven 
 image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven 
 above, or + hat is in the earth beneath, or that is in 
 the water under the earth : 
 
 5 -'Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor 
 s.;rve them: For I the Lord thy God am 8 a jealous 
 God, A visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the 
 ohildren unto the third and fourth generation of them 
 
 hat hate me; 
 
 6 And 'showing mercy unto thousands of them 
 that love me, and keep my commandments. 
 
 7 k Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy 
 God in vain : for the Lord ' will not hold him guilt- 
 less that taketh his name in vain. 
 
 8 m Remember the sabbath-day to keep it holy. 
 
 9 " Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work : 
 
 10 But the "seventh day is the sabbath of tne 
 Lord thy God : in it thou shalt not do any work, 
 thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man-ser- 
 vant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, ^nor thy 
 stranger that is within thy gates*

 God's promises to the people 
 
 10 And "six years thou shalt sow thy land, ami 
 shalt gather in the fruits thereof: 
 
 11 But the seventh year thou shalt let it rest 
 and he still; that the poor of thy people may eat: 
 and what they leave the beasts of the field shah 
 eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vine- 
 yard, and with thy || oliveyard. 
 
 12 "Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on tho 
 seventh clay thou shalt rest: that thine ox and thine 
 ass may rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the 
 stranger, may be refreshed. 
 
 13 And in all things that I have said unto you, ^ be 
 circumspect : and « make no mention of the name of 
 other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth 
 
 14 IF 'Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto 
 me in the year. 
 
 15 s Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread : 
 (thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I 
 commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month 
 Abib ; for in it thou earnest out from Egypt : ' and 
 none shall appear before me empty:) 
 
 16 "And the feast of harvest, the first-fruits of thy 
 labours, which thou hast sown in the field : and x the 
 feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, 
 when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field. 
 
 17 y Three times in the year all thy males shall 
 appear before the Lord God. 
 
 18 % Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice 
 with leavened bread : neither shall the fat of my 
 || sacrifice remain until the morning. 
 
 19 a The first of the first-fruits of thy land thou 
 shalt bring into the house of the Lord thy God 
 6 Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk. 
 
 20 IF c Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep 
 thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place 
 which I have prepared. 
 
 21 Beware of him, and obey his voice, ^provoke 
 him not; for he will e not pardon your transgressions : 
 for -/'my name is in him. 
 
 22 But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do 
 all that I speak ; then s I will be an enemy unto thine 
 enemies, and || an adversary unto thine adversaries. 
 
 23 ''For mine Angel shall go before thee, and 
 ; bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittitea, 
 and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the Hi- 
 vites, and the Jebusites ; and I will cut them off. 
 
 24 Thou shalt not *bow down to their gods, nor 
 serve them, 'nor do after their works : '"but thou 
 shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break clown 
 their images. 
 
 25 And ye shall "serve the Lord your God, and 
 'he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and p i 
 will take sickness away from the midst of thee. 
 
 26 IF * There shall nothing cast their young, nor 
 be barren in thy land : the number of thy days I 
 wiU 'fulfil. 
 
 27 I will send 'my fear before thee, and will de- 
 stroy all the people to whom thou shalt come, and J 
 will make all thine enemies turn their fbacks unto thee 
 
 28 And "I will send hornets before thee, which 
 shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and th? 
 Hittite from before thee. 
 
 29 w I will not drive them out from before thee 
 in one year ; lest the land become desolate, and tho 
 beast of the field multiply against thee. 
 
 30 By little and little I will drive them out from be- 
 fore thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land. 
 
 31 And x I will set thy bounds from the lied sea

 l Moses is called up into the mountain. 4 Moses buildelh an altar, and 
 twelve pillars. 6 lie sprin/deth the blood of the covenant. 9 The glory 
 of God appeareth. 15 Moses conlinueth forty days and forty nights in 
 the mount. 
 
 AND he said unto Moses, Come up unto the Lord, 
 thou, and Aaron, "Nadab, and Abihu, ''and 
 seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship ye 
 afar off. 
 
 2 And Moses ' alone shall come near the Lord: 
 but they shall not come nigh; neither shall the 
 people go up with him. 
 
 3 IF And Moses came and told the people all the 
 words of the Lord, and all the judgments : and all 
 the people answered with one voice, and said, ''All 
 'he words which the Lord hath said will we do. 
 
 4 And Moses 'wrote all the words of the Lord, 
 and rose up early in the morning, and builded an 
 altar under the hill, and twelve -/pillars according to 
 the twelve tribes of Israel. 
 
 5 And he sent young men of the children of 
 Israel, which offered burnt-offerings, and sacrificed 
 peace-offerings of oxen unto the Lord. 
 
 6 And Moses *took half of the blood, and put it 
 in basins ; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the 
 altar. 
 
 7 And he h took the book of the covenant, and read 
 in the audience of the people : and they said, ■ All that 
 the Lord hath said will we do, and be obedient. 
 
 8 And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it 
 on the people, and said, Behold Hhe blood of the 
 covenant, which the Lord hath made with you con- 
 cerning all these words. 
 
 9 H 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 paved work of a 
 "sapphire-stone, and as it were the "body of heaven 
 in his clearness. 
 
 11 And upon the nobles of the children of Israel 
 he ^laid not his hand : also 'they saw God, and did 
 • eat and drink. 
 
 12 UAnd the Lord said unto 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 
 E have written ; that thou mayest teach them. 
 
 13 And Moses rose up, and "his minister Joshua: 
 and Moses w went up into the mount of God. 
 
 14 And he said unto the elders, Tarry ye here 
 tor us, until we come again unto you : and behold, 
 Aaron and Hur are with you : if any man have any 
 matters to do, let him come unto them. 
 
 15 And Moses went up into the mount, and x a 
 cloud covered the mount. 
 
 _ 16 And y the glory of the Lord abode upon mount 
 Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days : and the 
 seventh day he called unto Moses out of the midst 
 of the cloud.

 even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the 
 desert unto the river : for I will "deliver the inhab- 
 itants of the land into your hand ; and thou shalt 
 drive them out before thee. 
 
 32 "Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor 
 with their gods. 
 
 33 They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they 
 make thee sin against me : for if thou serve their 
 
 it will surely be a snare unto thee.

 upon : of shittim-wood shalt thou make it. 
 
 2 A cubit shall be the length thereof, and a cubit 
 the breadth thereof ; 1'our-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 
 t top thereof, and the f sides thereof round about, 
 and the horns thereof; and thou shalt make unto 
 it a crown of gold round about. 
 
 4 And two golden rings shalt thou make to it un- 
 der the crown of it, by the two f corners thereof, 
 upon the two sides of it shalt thou make it; and they 
 shall be for places for the staves to bear it withal. 
 
 5 And thou shalt make the staves of shittim-

 6 And thou shalt put it before the vail that is by

 7 And Aaron shall burn thereon + ''sweet in- 
 cense every morning : when e he dresseth the lamps, 
 he shall burn incense upon it. 
 
 8 And when Aaron || t lighteth the lamps fat even, 
 he shall burn incense upon it ; a perpetual incense 
 before the Lord, throughout your generations. 
 
 9 Ye shall offer no ^strange incense thereon, nor 
 burnt-sa.crifice, nor meat-offering ; neither shall ye 
 pour drink-offering 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 gene- 
 rations : it is most holy unto the Lord. 
 
 11 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 
 
 12 ''When thou takest the sum of the children of 
 Israel after f their number, then shall they give 
 every man 'a ransom for his soul unto the Lord, 
 when thou numberest them : that there be no * plague 
 among them when thou numberest them. 
 
 13 'This they shall give, every one that passeth 
 among them that are numbered, half a shekel, after 
 the shekel of the sanctuary: ( m a shekel is twenty 
 gerahs : ) "an half shekel shall be the offering of the Lord. 
 
 14 Every one that passeth among them that are 
 numbered, from twenty years old and above, shall 
 give an offering unto the Lord. 
 
 15 The "rich shall not fgive more, and the poor 
 shall not fgive less than half a shekel, when they 
 give an offering unto the Lord to make an ■''atone- 
 ment for your souls. 
 
 16 And thou shalt take the atonement-money of 
 the children of Israel, and q shalt appoint it for the 
 service of the tabernacle of the congregation ; that it 
 may be 'a memorial unto the children of Israel before 
 the Lord, to make an atonement for your souls.

 cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty

 30 -^Aiid thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons,

 2 Bezaleel and Aholiab a*e called, and made meet for the work of i\e taber- 
 nacle. 12 The observation of the sabbath is again commanded. 18 Mo- 
 sas receiveth the two tables. 
 
 AND the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 
 2 " See. I have called by name Bezaleel the 
 b son of Uri, the son of II ur, of the tribe of Judah ■ 
 
The saboai.fi to be kept holy. C 
 
 3 And 1 have c filled him with the spirit of God,

 iind in all manner of workmanship, 
 
 4 To devise cunning 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 work- 
 manship. 
 
 b' And I, behold, I have given with him J Aho- 
 liab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; 
 and in the hearts of all that are 'wise-hearted 
 have put wisdom; that they may make all that I 
 have commanded thee : 
 
 7 'The tabernacle of the congregation, and ^'the

 thereupon, and all the f furniture of the tabernacle,

 11 "And the anointing oil, and p sweet incense 
 for the holy place : according to all that I have 
 commanded thee shall they do. 
 
 12 II And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 
 
 13 Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, 
 saying, q Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep : for it 
 is a sign between me and you throughout your 
 generations ; that ye may know that I am the Lord 
 that doth sanctify you. 
 
 14 'Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore: for it is 
 holy unto you. Every one that defileth it shall surely 
 be put to death : for s whosoever doeth any work there- 
 in, that soul shall be cut off from among his people. 
 
 15 'Six days may work be done, but in the 
 "seventh is the sabbath of rest, fholy to the Lord: 
 whosoever 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 perpetual covenant. 
 
 17 It is r a sign between me and the children of 
 Israel for ever: for y in six days the LoRd made 
 Heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested 
 and was refreshed. 
 
 18 IT And he gave unto Moses, when he had 
 made an end of communing with him upon mount 
 Sinai, s two tables of testimony, tables of stone, 
 written with the finger of God.

 AND when the people saw that Moses "delayed 
 to come down out of the mount, the people 
 gathered themselves together unto Aarou, and said 
 unto him, 6 Up, make us gods which shall c go be- 
 fore us: for as for this Moses, the man that brought 
 us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what 
 is become of him. 
 
 2 And Aaron said unto them, Break off the ''golden

 4 "And he received them attheir hand, and fashion* 
 ed it with a graving tool, after he had made it a 
 molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O 
 Israel, which brought thee up outof the land of Egypt, 
 
 ") And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar 
 before it; and Aaron made -^proclamation, and said, 
 To-morrow is a feast to the Lord. 
 
 G And they rose up early on the morrow, and 
 offered burnt-offerings, and brought peace-offerings : 
 and the s people sat down to eat and to drink, and 
 rose up to play. 
 
 7 If And the Lord said unto Moses, " Go, get thee 
 down : for thy people, which thou broughtest out 
 of the land of Egypt, ' have corrupted themselves • 
 
 8 They have turned aside quickly out of the way 
 which *I commanded them: they have made them a 
 molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacri- 
 ficed thereunto, and said, ' These bet\\y gods, Israel, 
 which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. 
 
 9 And the Lord said unto Moses, "'I have seen 
 this people, and behold, it is a stiff-necked people : 
 
 10 Now therefore "let me alone, that "my wrath 
 may wax hot against them, and that I may con- 
 sume them : and J 'I will make of thee a great nation. 
 
 11 '' And Moses besought fthe Lord, nis God, and 
 said, Lord, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy 
 people, which thou hast brought forth outof 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 Kemember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy 
 servants, to whom thou 'swarest by thine own self, 
 and saidst unto them, "I will multiply your seed 
 as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have 
 spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall 
 inherit it for ever. 
 
 14 And the Lord ""repented of the evil which he 
 thought to do unto his people. 
 
 15 If And x Moses 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 written. 
 
 16 And the y tables ivere the work of God, and the 
 writing ivas the writing of God, graven upon the tables. 
 
 17 And when Joshua heard the noise of the 
 people as they shouted, he said unto Moses, 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 than 
 that cry for f being overcome: but the noise of 
 them that sing do I hear. 
 
 19 If And it came to pass as soon as he came nigh 
 unto the camp, that z he saw the calf, and the dancing: 
 and Moses' anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables 
 out of his hands, and brake 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 water, and made the chil- 
 dren of Israel drink of it. 
 
 21 And Moses said unto Aaron, *What did this 
 people unto thee, that thou hast brought so great 
 a sin upon them ? 
 
 22 And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my 
 lord wax hot: c thou knowest the people, that thev 
 are set on mischief. " 
 
 67 
 
Aloses prayeth for the people : 
 
 23 For they said unto me, rf Make us gods which 
 shall go before us- for as for this Moses, the man 
 that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we 
 wot not what is become of him. 
 
 24 And 1 said unto them, Whosoever hath any 
 gold, let them break it off. So they gave it me : then 
 I cast it into the fire, and there 'came out this calf. 
 
 25 HAnd when Moses saw that the people were 
 /naked, (for Aaron ff had made them naked unto 
 their shame among f their enemies,) 
 
 26 Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, 
 and said, Who is on the Lord's side? let him come 
 unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered them- 
 selves together unto him. 
 
 27 And he said unto them, Thus saith the Lord 
 God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side 
 and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the 
 camp, and A slay every man his brother, and every 
 man his companion, and every man his neighbour. 
 
 28 And the children of Levi did according to 
 the word of Moses : and there fell of the people 
 that day about three thousand men. 
 
 29 ' || For Moses had said, f Consecrate your- 
 selves to-day to the Lord, even every man upon 
 his son, and upon his brother ; that he may bestow 
 upon you a blessing this day. 
 
 30 HAnd it came to pass on the morrow, that 
 Moses said unto the people, k Ye have sinned a great 
 sin : and now I will go up unto the Lord; 'perad- 
 venture I shall '"make an atonement for your sin. 
 
 31 And Moses "returned unto the Lord, and 
 t>aid, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and 
 have "made them gods of gold. 
 
 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 the Lord said unto Moses, r Whosoever hath 
 sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book. 
 
 34 Therefore now go, lead the people unto the 
 place of which I have spoken unto thee : 'Behold, 
 mine Angel shall go before thee: nevertheless, 'in 
 the day when I visit, I will visit their sin upon them. 
 
 35 And the Lord plagued the people, because 
 "they made the calf which Aaron made. 
 
 CHAP. XXXIII. 
 
 1 The Lord refuseth to go as he had promUed with the people. 9 The 
 Lord lalkelh familiarly with Moses. 12 Moses desireth to see the glory 
 of God. 
 
 AND the Lord said unto Moses, Depart and go 
 up hence, thou "and the people which thou 
 nast brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the 
 land which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to 
 Jacob, saying, b Unto thy seed will I give it : 
 
 2 c And I will send an angel before thee ; 6 and I 
 will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the 
 llittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite,and the Jebusite: 
 
 3 e Unto a land flowing with milk and honey : -/'for 
 L will not go up in the midst of' thee ; for thou art a 
 
 stiff-necked people : lest * I consume thee in the way. 
 
 4HAndwhenthepeopleheard these evil tidings/they 
 
 mourned : *and no man did put on him his ornaments. 
 
 5 For the Lord had said unto Moses, Say unto the 
 children of Israel, 'Ye are a stiff-necked people: I 
 will come up '" into the midst of thee in a moment, and 
 ■jonsume thee : therefore now put off thy ornaments 
 from thee, that I may "know what to do unto thee. 
 
 6 And the children of Israel stripped themselves 
 
 ->f their ornaments by the mount Horeb.

 7 And Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched 
 it without the camp afar off from the camp, "and 
 called it the Tabernacle of the Congregation. And 
 it came to pass, that every one which ^sought the 
 Lord, went out unto the tabernacle of the congre- 
 gation, which ivas without the cam^ 
 
 8 And it came to pass when Moses went out 
 unto the tabernacle, that all the people rose up, and 
 stood every man q at his tent-door, and looked after 
 Moses, until he was gone into the tabernacle. 
 
 9 And it came to pass, as Moses entered into 
 the tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended, and 
 stood at the door of the tabernacle, and the LORD 
 'talked with Moses. 
 
 10 And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand 
 at the tabernacle-door : and all the people rose up 
 and ' worshipped, every man in his tent-door. 
 
 11 And 'the Lord spake unto Moses face to face, 
 as a man speaketh unto 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 
 tabernacle. 
 
 12 HAnd Moses said unto the Lord, See, ^thou 
 sayest unto me, Bring up this people.- and thou 
 hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with 
 me. Yet thou hast said, y I know thee by name, 
 and thou hast also found grace in my sight. 
 
 13 Now therefore, 1 pray thee, 2 if I have found 
 grace in thy sight, "shew me now thy way, that ] 
 may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: 
 and consider that this nation is 6 tny people. 
 
 14 And he said, f My presence shall go with thee, 
 and I will give thee ''rest. 
 
 15 And he said unto him, f If thy presence go 
 not with me, carry us not up hence. 
 
 16 For wherein shall it be known here that 1 
 and thy people have found grace in thy sight? ■> ' Ls 
 it not in that thou goest with us ? So s shall we be 
 separated, I and thy people, from all the people 
 that are upon the face of the earth. 
 
 17 And the Lord said unto Moses, ''I will do this 
 thing also that thou hast spoken : for 'thou hast found 
 grace 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 goodness 
 pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of 
 the Lord before thee; m and will be "gracious to 
 whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on 
 whom I will shew mercy. 
 
 20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face : 
 for "there shall no man see me, and live. 
 
 21 And the Lord said, Behold, there is a place 
 by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock : 
 
 22 And it shall come to pass, while my glory pass- 
 eth 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 mine hand, and thou shslt 
 see my back parts : but my face shall ' not be seen.

 1 The tables are renewed. 5 The name of the LORD proclaimed. 10 God 
 maketh a covenant with them. 28 Moses cometh down with the tablet . 
 his face shineth, and he coverelh it with a vail. 
 
 AND the Lord said unto Moses, "Hew thee two 
 tables of stone like unto the first : 4 and I will 
 write upon these tables the words that were in the 
 first tables which thou brakest. _

God maketh a covenant ivith the people. 
 
 the morning unto mount Sinai, and present thyself 
 there to me c 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 HAnd he hewed two tables of stone, like unto 
 the first; and Moses rose up early in the morning, 
 and went up unto Mount Sinai, as the Lord had 
 commanded him, and took in his hand the two tables 
 of stone. 
 
 5 And the Lord descended in the cloud, and 
 stood with him there, and 'proclaimed the name of 
 the Lord. 
 
 6 And the Lord passed by before him, and pro- 
 claimed, The Lord, The Lord •'God, merciful and 
 gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in 'goodness 
 and ''truth, 
 
 7 'Keeping mercy for thousands, k forgiving ini- 
 quity and transgression and sin, and 'that will by no 
 means clear the guilt// ; visiting the iniquity of the 
 fathers upon the children, and upon the children's 
 children, unto the third and to the fourth generation. 
 
 8 And Moses made haste, and m bowed his head 
 ^oward the earth, and worshipped. 
 
 9 And he said, If now I have found grace in thy 
 sight, Lord, "let my Lord, I pray thee, go among 
 us (for "it is a stiff-necked people), and pardon our 
 iniquity and our sin, and take us for /'thine inheritance. 
 
 10 iT Arid he said, Behold, ? I make a covenant: 
 before all thy people I will r do marvels, such as 
 have not been done in all the earth, nor in any 
 nation: and all the people among which thou art 
 shall see the work of the Lord : 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 Amo- 
 rite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the 
 Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite. 
 
 12 a 'Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a cove- 
 uant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou 
 goest, lest it be for v a snare in the midst of thee : 
 
 13 But ye shall 2 destroy their altars, break their 
 L images, and "cut down their groves: 
 
 14 For thou shalt worship *no other god: for the 
 ^ord, whose c name is Jealous, is a ''jealous God : 
 
 15 e Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabi- 
 tants of the land, and they J go a whoring after their 
 gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and one *call 
 thee, and thou '' eat of his sacrifice ; 
 
 16 And thou take of 'their daughters unto thy 
 sons, and their daughters fc go a whoring after their 
 gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods. 
 
 17 'Thou shalt make thee no molten gods. 
 
 1 8 TIThe feast of '"unleavened bread shalt thou keep. 
 Seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread, as I 
 commanded thee, in the time of the month Abib : for

 22 If'And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks 
 of the first-fruits of wheat-harvest, and the feast of 
 ingathering at the f year's end 
 
 23 If Thrice in the j r ear shall all your men-children 
 appear before the Lord God, the God of Israel. 
 
 24 For I will "cast out the nations before thee, 
 and a enlarge thy borders: ^neither shall any man 
 desire thy land, when thou shalt go up to appear 
 before the Lord thy God thrice in the year. 
 
 25 z 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 4 The first of the first-fruits of thy land thou 
 shalt bring unto the house of the Lord thy God. 
 c Thou shaft not seethe a kid in his mother's milk. 
 
 27 And the Lord said unto Moses, Write thou 
 rf these words: for after the tenor of these words T 
 have made a covenant with thee, and with Israel. 
 
 28 c And he was there with the Lord forty days 
 and forty nights; he did neither eat bread nor drink 
 water. And J he wrote upon the tables the words 
 of the covenant, the ten f commandments. 
 
 29 H And it came to pass when Moses came down 
 from mount Sinai (with the s two tables of testimony 
 in Moses' hand, when he came down from the mount) 
 that Moses wist not that ''the skip of his face shone, 
 while he talked with him. 
 
 30 And Avhen 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 unto them; and Aaron and 
 all the rulers of the congregation returned unto him : 
 and Moses talked with them. 
 
 32 And afterward all the children of Israel came 
 nigh: 'and he gave them in commandment all that 
 the Lord had spoken with him in mount Sinai. 
 
 33 And till Moses had done speaking with them, 
 he put fc a vail on his face. 
 
 34 But 'when Moses went in before the Lord to 
 speak with him, he took the vail off, until he came 
 out. And he came out and spake unto 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.

 "These are the words which the Lord hath com- 
 manded, that ye should do them.

 20 HAnd all the congregation of the children of 
 Israel departed from the presence of Moses. 
 
 21 And they came, every one 'whose heart stirred 
 him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing, 
 and they brought the Lord's offering to the work of 
 the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all his 
 service, and for the holy garments. 
 
 22 And they came, both men and women, as 
 many as were willing-hearted, and brought bracelets, 
 and ear-rings, and rings, and tablets, all jewels of 
 gold : and every man that offered, offered an offering 
 of gold unto the Lord. 
 
 23 And "every man with whom was found blue, and 
 purple, and scarlet, 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 the Lord's offering: and every 
 man with whom was found shittim-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 
 scarlet, and of fine linen. 
 
 26 And all the women whose heart stirred them 
 up in wisdom spun goats' hair.

 CHAP. XXXVI. 
 
 The offerings are delivered to the worlcmert. 
 
 r PHEN wrought Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every 
 J- " wise-hearted man, in whom the Lord put wis- 
 dom and understanding to know how to work all 
 manner of work for the service of the b sanctuary, 
 according to all that the Lord had commanded. 
 
 2 And Moses called Bezaleel and Aholiab, and 
 every wise-hearted man, in whose heart the Lord 
 had put wisdom, even every one c whose heart stirred 
 him up to come unto the work to do it : 
 
 3 And they received of Moses all the offering which 
 the children of Israel ''had brought for the work of the 
 service of the sanctuary, to make it withal. And they 
 brought yet unto him free-offerings every morning. 
 
 4 And all the wise men, that wrought all the 
 work of the sanctuary, came every man from his 
 work which they made; 
 
 5 HAnd they spake unto Moses, saying, 'The peo- 
 ple bring much more than enough for the service of 
 the work which the Lord 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 offering 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 VAnd every wise-hearted man among them 
 that wrought the work of the tabernacle made ten 
 curtains of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, 
 and scarlet: with cherubims of cunning work 'made 
 he them. 
 
 9 The length of one curtain was twenty and eight 
 cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits : 
 the curtains were all of one size. 
 
 10 And he coupled the five curtains one unto 
 another : and the other five curtains he coupled one 
 unto another. 
 
 11 And he made loops of blue on the edge of 
 one curtain from the selvedge in the coupling : like- 
 wise he made in the uttermost side of another cur 
 tain, in the coupling of the second. 
 
 12 s Fifty loops made he in one curtain, and fifty 
 loops made he in the edge of the curtain which teas 
 in the coupling of the second: the loops held one 
 curtain to another. 
 
 13 And he made fifty taches of gold, and coupled 
 the curtains one unto another with the taches. So 
 it became one tabernacle. 
 
 14 IfAnd he made curtains of goats' hair for the tent 
 over the tabernacle : eleven curtains he made thorn 
 
TJie boards, &c. of the tabernacle. 
 
 (J 11 A P. XXXVli. 
 
 The ark, mercy-seat, table, d'c. 
 
 15 The length of one curtain was thirty cubits, 
 and four cubits was the breadth of one curtain : the 
 eleven curtains were of one size. 
 
 16 And he coupled five curtains by themselves, 
 and six curtains by themselves. 
 
 17 And he made fifty loops upon the uttermost 
 edge of the curtain in the coupling, and fifty loops 
 made he upon the edge of the curtain which coup- 
 leth the second. 
 
 18 And he made fifty taches of brass to couple 
 the tent together, that it might be one. 
 
 19 'And he made a covering for the tent of rains' 
 skins dyed red, and a covering of badgers' skins 
 above that. 
 
 20 11* And he made boards for the tabernacle of 
 tihittim-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, equally distant one 
 from another : thus did he make for all the boards 
 of the tabernacle. 
 
 23 And he made boards for the tabernacle; 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 his 
 two tenons, and two sockets under another board 
 for his two tenons. 
 
 25 And for the other side of the tabernacle which 
 is toward the north corner, he made twenty boards, 
 
 26 And their forty sockets of silver ; two sockets un- 
 der one board, and two sockets under another board. 
 
 27 And for the sides of the tabernacle westward 
 he made six boaids. 
 
 28 And two boards made he for the corners of 
 the tabernacle in the two sides. 
 
 29 And they were fcoupled 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 sock- 
 ets were sixteen sockets of silver, f under every 
 board two sockets. 
 
 31 IT And he made 'bars ^/"shittim-wood; five for 
 the boards of the one side of the tabernacle 
 
 32 And five bars for the boards of the other side 
 of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of 
 the tabernacle for the sides westward. 
 
 33 And he made the middle bar to shoot through 
 the boards from the one end to the other. 
 
 34 And he overlaid the boards with gold, and 
 made their rings of gold to be places for the bars, 
 and overlaid the bars with gold. 
 
 35 H And he made m a vail of blue, and purple, 
 and scarlet, and fine twined linen: with cherubims 
 made he it of cunning work. 
 
 36 And he made thereunto four pillars of shittim- 
 wood, and overlaid them Avith gold : their hooks were 
 of gold ; and he cast for them four sockets of silver. 
 
 37 HAnd he made a "hanging for the tabernacle- 
 loor of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine 
 twined linen, fof needle-work; 
 
 38 And the five pillars of it, with their hooks : 
 and he overlaid their chapiters and their fillets 
 with gold 
 
 but their five sockets were of brass.

 vice of the Levites, 'by the hand of Ithamar, son to 
 Aaron the priest. 
 
 22 And ^'Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur,

 23 And with him tvas Aholiab, son of Ahisamach,

 workman, and an embroiderer in blue, and in purple,

 holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron , 
 c as the Lord commanded Moses. 
 
 2 rf And he made the ephod of gold, blue, and pur 
 pie. and scarlet, and fine twined linen. 
 
 3 And they did beat the gold into thin plates, 
 and cut it into wires, to work it in the blue, and in 
 the purple, and in the scarlet, and in the fine linen, 
 with cunning 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 
 
die clothes of service, &c. 
 
 upon it, was of the same, according to the work 
 thereof; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and 
 fine twined linen; as the Lord commanded Moses. 
 
 6 If 'And they wrought onyx-stones inclosed in 
 ouches of gold, graven as signets are graven, with 
 the names of the children of Israel. 
 
 7 And he put them on the shoulders of the ephod 
 that the// should be stones for a r memorial to the chil 
 ilren of Israel; as the Lord commanded Moses. 
 
 8 If 4 ' And he made the breast-plate of cunning 
 work, like the work of the ephod ; of gold, blue, and 
 purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen. 
 
 9 It was four-square ; they made the breast-plate 
 double : a span tvas the length thereof, and a span 
 the breadth thereof, being doubled. 
 
 10 'And they set in it four rows of stones : the 
 first row was a || sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle : 
 this tvas the first row. 
 
 11 And the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, 
 and a diamond. 
 
 12 And the third row, a ligure, an agate, and an 
 amethyst. 
 
 13 And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a 
 jasper : they were inclosed in ouches of gold in their 
 inclosings. 
 
 14 And the stones ivere according to the names 
 of the children of Israel, tw T elve, according to their 
 names, like the engravings of a signet, every one 
 with his name, according to the twelve tribes. 
 
 15 And-they made upon the breast-plate chains 
 at the ends, of wreathen work of pure gold. 
 
 16 And they made two ouches of gold, and two 
 gold rings, and put the two rings in the two ends 
 of the breastplate. 
 
 17 And they put the two wreathen chains of gold 
 in the two rings on the ends of the breast-plate. 
 
 18 And the two ends of the two wreathen chains 
 they fastened in the two ouches, 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, toward 
 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 his rings 
 unto the rings of the ephod with a lace 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 the Lord commanded Moses. 
 
 22 If 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 an habergeon, with a band round about 
 fcie hole, that it should not rend. 
 
 24 And they made upon the hems of the robe 
 pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and 
 twined linen. 
 
 25 And they made k bells of pure gold, and put 
 the bells between the pomegranates upon the hem 
 of the robe, round about between the pomegranates ; 
 
 26 A bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pome- 
 granate, round about the nem of the robe to minister 
 m; as the Lord commanded Moses.

 25 And "he lighted the lamps before the Lord, 
 as the Lord commanded Moses. 
 
 26 "PAnd he put the golden altar in the tent of 
 the congregation, before the vail : 
 
 27 y And he burnt sweet incense thereon; as the 
 Lord commanded Moses. 
 
 28 IPAnd he set up the hanging at the door of 
 the tabernacle. 
 
 29 "And he put the altar of burnt-offering by tho 
 door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation, 
 and * offered upon it the burnt-offering, and the meat- 
 offering; as the Lord commanded Moses. 
 
 30 l c And he set the laver between the tent of the 
 congregation and the altar, and put water there, to 
 wasn withal. 
 
 31 And Moses, and Aaron, and his soi*o, washed 
 their hands and their feet thereat : 
 
 32 When they went into the tent of the congre- 
 gation, and when they came near unto the altar, 
 they washed; d as the Lord commanded Moses. 
 
 S3 e And he reared up the court round about the 
 tabernacle and the altar, and set up the hanging of 
 the court-gate : so Moses finished the work. 
 
 34 IT-^Then a cloud covered the tent of the con- 
 gregation, and the glory of the Lord filled the 
 tabernacle. 
 
 35 And Moses * was not able to enter into the tent 
 of the congregation, because the cloud abode thereon, 
 and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. 
 
 36 A And when the cloud was taken up from over 
 the tabernacle, the children of Israel f went onward 
 in all their journeys : 
 
 37 But 'if the cloud were not taken up, then they 
 journeyed not till the day that it was taken up. 
 
 38 For Hhe cloud of the Lord was upon the 
 tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, in 
 the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all 
 their journeys.

 I The burnt-offerings. 3 Of the herd, 10 of the flocks, 14 of the fowls. 
 
 AND the Lord " called unto Moses, and spake unto 
 him *out of the tabernacle of the congregation, 
 saying, 
 
 2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto 
 them, c If any man of you bring an offering unto the 
 Lord, ye shall bring your offering of the cattle, even 
 of the herd, and of the flock. 
 
 3 If his offering be a burnt-sacrifice of the herd, 
 let him offer a male d without blemish : he shall offer 
 it of his own voluntary will at the door of the 
 tabernacle of the congregation before the Lord. 
 
 4 c And he shall put his hand upon the head of the 
 burnt-offering ; and it shall be •''accepted for him s to 
 make atonement for him. 
 
 5 And he shall kill the A bullock before the Lord : 
 'and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall bring the blood, 
 *and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar 
 that is by the door of the tabernacle of the congre- 
 gation.

 AN D the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 
 2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, "If 
 t, soul shall sin through ignorance against any of the 
 commandments of the Lord concerning things which 
 ought not to be done, and shall do against any of 
 them : 
 
 8 8 If the priest that is anointed do sin according 
 to the sin of the people ; then let him bring for his 
 sin which he hath sinned, c a young bullock without 
 blemish unto the Lord for a sin-offering. 
 
 4 And he shall bring the bullock ''unto the door <«•■!■- 
 of the tabernacle of the congregation before the 
 Lord ; and shall lay his hand upon the bullock's 
 head, and kill the bullock before the Lord. 
 
 5 And the priest that is anointed e shall take of 
 i tie bullock's blood, and bring it to the tabernacle 
 or the congregation: 
 
 6 And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, 
 and sprinkle of the blood seven times before the 
 Lord, before the vail of the sanctuary. 
 
 7 And the priest shall J put some of the blood upon 
 the horns of the altar of sweet incense before the 
 Lord, which is in the tabernacle of the congregation ; 
 and shall pour s n\\ the blood of the bullock at the 
 bottom of the altar of the burnt^offering, which is at 
 the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 
 
 8 And he shall take off from it all the fat of the 
 bullock for the sin-offering ; the fat that covereth the 
 inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards, 
 
 9 And the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon 
 them, which is by the flanks, and the caul above 
 the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away, 
 
 10 A As it was taken off from the bullock of the 
 sacrifice of peace-offerings : and the priest shall burn 
 them upon the altar of the burnt-offering. 
 
 11 And the skin of the bullock, and all his flesh, 
 with his head, and with his legs, and his inwards, 
 and his dung ; 
 
 12 Even the whole bullock shall he carry forth 
 fwithout the camp unto a clean place, k where the 
 ashes are poured out, and 'burn him on the wood 
 with fire : f where the ashes are poured out shall 
 he be burnt. 
 
 13 IT And m if the whole congregation of Israel 
 sin through ignorance, "and the thing be hid from 
 the eyes of the assembly, and they have done some- 
 what against any of the commandments of the Lord 
 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 taber- 
 nacle of the congregation. 
 
 15 And the elders of the congregation "shall lay 
 their hands upon the head of the bullock before the 
 Lord : and the bullock shall be killed before the 
 Lord. 
 
 16 'And the priest that is anointed shall bring 
 of the bullock's blood to the tabernacle of the con- 
 gregation : 
 
 17 And the priest shall dip his finger in some of 
 the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before the 
 Lord, even before the vail.

 ]4 The trespass-offering in sacrilege, 17 and in sins of ignorancf. 
 
 AND if a soul sin, "and hear the voice of swear- 
 ing, and is a witness, whether he hath seen or 
 known of it ; if he do not utter it, then he shall 
 k bear his iniquity. 
 
 2 Or f if a soul touch any unclean thing, whether 
 it be a carcass of an unclean beast, or a carcass of 
 unclean cattle, or the carcass of unclean creeping 
 things, and if it be hidden from him; he also shall 
 be unclean, and d guilty. 
 
 3 Or if he touch 'the uncleanness of man, what- 
 soever uncleanness it be that a man shall be denied 
 withal, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth 
 of it, then he shall be guilty. 
 
 4 Or if a soul swear, pronouncing with his lips 
 •/"to do evil, or *to do good, whatsoever it be that a 
 man shall pronounce with an oath, and it be hid 
 from him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be 
 guilty in one of these. 
 
 5 And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one 
 of these things, that he shall ''confess that he hath 
 sinned in that thing: 
 
 6 And he shall bring his trespass-offering unto 
 the Lord for his sin which he hath sinned, a female 
 from the flock, a lamb or a kid of the goats, for a 
 sin-offering; and the priest shall make an atonement 
 for him concerning his sin. 
 
 7 And 'if fhe be not able to bring a lamb, then 
 he shall bring for his trespass which he hath com- 
 mitted, two Hurtle-doves, or two young pigeons, 
 unto the Lord; one for a sin-offering, and the other 
 for a burnt-offering. 
 
 8 And he shall bring them unto the priest, who 
 shall offer that which is for the sin-offering first, and 
 'wring off his head from his neck, but shall not di- 
 vide it asunder : 
 
 9 And he shall sprinkle of the blood of the sin- 
 offering upon the side of the altar; and "'the rest 
 uf the blood shall be wrung out at the bottom of the 
 altar : it is a sin-offering. 
 
 10 And he shall offer the second for a burnt-offer- 
 ing, according to the || "manner : "and the priest shall 
 make an atonement for him for his sin which he hath 
 sinned, and it shall be forgiven him. 
 
 11 H 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; ^he shall put no oil 
 ipon it, neither shall he put any frankincense there- 
 on : for it is a sin-offering. 
 
 12 Then shall he bring it to the priest, and the 
 priest shall take his handful of it, q even a memorial 
 thereof, and burn it on the altar, 'according to the 
 offerings made by fire unto the Lord : it is a sin- 
 affering. 
 
 13 *And the priest shall make an atonement for 
 him as touching his sin that he hath sinned in one 
 of these, and it shall be forgiven him : and Hhe rem- 
 nant shall be - the priest's, as a meat-offering. 
 
 14 HAnd the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 
 
 15 "If a soul commit a trespass, and sin through 
 ignorance, in the holy things of the Lord; then 'he 
 shall bring for his trespass unto the Lord a ram 
 -without blemish out of the flocks, with thy estima- 
 tion by shekels of silver, after y the shekel of the 
 sanctuary, for a trespass-offering : 
 
 16 And he shall make amends for the harm that

 AND the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 
 2 If a soul sin, and "commit a trespass against

 violently away, or the thing which he hath deceit- 
 fully gotten, or that which was delivered him to 
 keep, or the lost thing which he found, 
 
 o Or all that about which he hath sworn falsely, 
 he shall even s restore it in the principal, and shall 
 add the fifth part more thereto, and give it unto him 
 to whom it appertaineth, || t in the day of his tres- 
 pass-offering. 
 
 6 And he shall bring his trespass-offering unto the 
 Lord, ''a ram without blemish out of the flock, with 
 thy estimation, for a trespass-offering, unto the priest . 
 
 7 And the priest shall make an atonement for him 
 before the Lord : and it shall be forgiven him for any 
 thing of all that he hath done in trespassing therein 
 
 8 IT And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 
 
 9 Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This is 
 the law of the burnt-offering : it is the burnt-offer- 
 ing, || because of the burning upon the altar all night 
 unto the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be 
 burning in it. 
 
 10 *And the priest shall put on his linen garment,

 with the burnt-offering on the altar, and he shall 
 put them 'beside the altar.

 savour, even the 'memorial of it, unto the Lord. 
 
 16 And r 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 taber-

 17 'It shall not be baken with leaven. "I have 
 given it unto them for their portion of my offerings 
 made by fire. *It is most noly, as is the sin-offer-

 18 "All the males among the children of Aaron 
 shall eat of it. z It shall be a statute for ever in 
 your generations concerning the offerings of the 
 Lord made by fire: "every one that toucheth them

 19 IF And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 
 
 20 6 This is the offering of Aaron and of his sons, 
 which they shall offer unto the Lord in the day 
 when he is anointed; the tenth part of an e ephah 
 of fine flour for a meat-offering perpetual, half of it

 23 For every meat-offering for the priest shall be 
 wholly burnt : it shall not be eaten.

 27 'Whatsoever shall touch the flesh thereof shall 
 be holy : and when there is sprinkled of the blood 
 thereof upon any garment, thou shalt wash that

 The sin-offering for Aaron, &.c. 
 
 8 And he put the breast-plate upon him : also he 
 ''put in the breast-plate the Urim and the Thummim. 
 
 9 'And he put the mitre upon his head ; also upon 
 the mitre, even upon his forefront, did he put the 
 golden plate, the holy crown; as the Lord * com- 
 manded Moses. 
 
 10 'And Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed 
 the tabernacle and all that was therein, and sancti- 
 fied them. 
 
 11 And he sprinkled thereof upon the altar seven 
 times, and anointed the altar and all his vessels, 
 both the laver and his foot, to sanctify them. 
 
 12 And he '"poured of the anointing 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, and f put 
 bonnets upon them ; as the Lord commanded Moses. 
 
 14 "And he brought the bullock for the sin-offer- 
 ing : and Aaron and his sons Maid 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 altar round about 
 with his finger, and purified the altar, and poured 
 the blood at the bottom of the altar, and sanctified 
 it, to make reconciliation 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 dung, he burnt with fire without the camp ; as 
 the Lord 'commanded Moses. 
 
 18 IF And he brought the ram for the burnt-offer 
 ing : and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon 
 the head of the ram. 
 
 19 And he killed it; and Moses sprinkled the 
 blood upon the altar round about. 
 
 20 And he cut the ram into pieces ; and Mose? 
 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-sacrifice for a sweet savour. 
 and an offering made by fire unto the Lord ; "as tho 
 Lord commanded Moses. 
 
 22 IF And "'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 of the blood 
 of it, and put it upon the tip of Aaron's right ear, 
 and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the 
 great toe of his right foot. 
 
 24 And he brought Aaron's sons, and Moses put 
 of the blood upon the tip of their right ear, and upon 
 the thumbs of their right hands, and upon the great 
 toes of their right feet : and Moses sprinkled the 
 blood upon the altar round about. 
 
 25 x And he took the fat. and the rump, and all 
 the fat that tvas upon the inwards, and the caul above 
 the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and 
 ;he right shoulder : *. 
 
 26 ^And out of the basket of unleavened bread, 
 that was before the Lord, he took one unleavened 
 cake, and a cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, and 
 put them on the fat, and upon the right shoulder : 
 
 27 And he put all z upon Aaron's hands, and upon 
 his son's hands, and waved them for a wave-offer 
 ing before the Lord. 
 
 28 "And Moses took them from off their hands, 
 and burnt them on the altar upon the burnt-offering : 
 
Of Aaron and his sons* consecration, 
 
 LEVITICUS 
 
 they were consecrations for a sweet sncour : it is an 
 ottering made by fire unto the Lord. 
 
 29 And Moses took the breast, and waved it for 
 a wave-offering before the Lord : for of the ram of 
 consecration it was Moses' 4 part; as the Lord com- 
 manded Moses. 
 
 30 And c Moses took of the anointing oil, and 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 garments, and his sons, 
 and his sons' garments with him. 
 
 31 IT And Moses said unto Aaron and to his sons, 
 "Boil the flesh at the door of the tabernacle of the 
 congregation ; and there eat it with the bread that 
 w in the basket of consecrations, as I commanded, 
 saying, Aaron and his sons shall eat it. 
 
 32 e And that which remain eth of the flesh and 
 of the bread shall ye burn with fire. 
 
 33 And ye shall not go out of the door of the 
 tabernacle of the congregation in seven days, until 
 the days of your consecration be at an end : for 
 ■'seven days shall he consecrate you. 
 
 34 A 'As he hath done this day, so the Lord hath 
 commanded to do, to make an atonement for you. 
 
 35 Therefore shall ye abide at the door of the 
 tabernacle of the congregation day and night seven 
 days, and ''keep the charge of the Lord, that ye die 
 not : for so I am commanded. 
 
 36 So Aaron and his sons did all things which the 
 Lord commanded by the hand of Moses. 
 
 CHAP. IX. 
 
 1 The first offerings of Aaron for himself and the people. 23 Moses and 
 Aaron bless the people. 24 Fire cometh from the Lord 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 unto Aaron, * Take thee a young calf 
 for a sin-offering, c and a ram for a burnt-offering, 
 without blemish, and offer them before the Lord. 
 
 3 And unto the children of Israel thou shalt 
 ppeak, saying, d Take ye a kid of the goats for a sin- 
 offering ; and a call' and a lamb, both of the first year, 
 without blemish, for a burnt-offering ; 
 
 4 Also a bullock and a ram for peace-offerings, 
 to sacrifice before the Lord; and f a meat-offering 
 mingled with oil : for ^ to-day the Lord will appear 
 unto you. 
 
 5 1 And they brought that which Moses commanded 
 before the tabernacle of the congregation : and all 
 the congregation drew near and stood before the 
 Lord. 
 
 6 And Moses said, This is the thing which the 
 Lord commanded that ye should do : and s the glory 
 of the Lord shall appear unto you. 
 
 7 And Moses said unto Aaron, Go unto the altar, 
 and h offer 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 the Lord commanded. 
 
 8 1i Aaron therefore went unto the altar, and slew 
 the calf of the sin-offering, which ivas for himself. 
 
 9 fc And the sons of Aaron brought the blood unto 
 nim : and he dipped his finger in the blood, and 'put 
 it upon the horns of the altar, and poured out the 
 blood at the bottom of the altar:

 Moses and Aaron Hess the people 
 
 above the liver of the sin-offering, he burnt upon the 
 altar; "as the Lord 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 unto him the blood, f which he sprink- 
 led round about upon the altar. 
 
 13 'And they presented the burnt-offering unto 
 him, with the pieces thereof,- and the head : and ho 
 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 IF s And he brought the people's offering, 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, ami offered 
 it 'according to the || manner. 
 
 17 And he brought "the meat-offering, and ftook 
 an handful thereof, and burnt it upon the altar, 
 * besides the burnt-sacrifice of the morning. 
 
 18 He slew also the bullock and the rain fbr y a 
 sacrifice of peace-offerings, which was for the people : 
 and Aaron's sons presented unto him the blood, which 
 he sprinkled upon the altar round about, 
 
 19 And the fat of the bullock, and of the ram, 
 the rump, and that which covereth the inwards, and 
 the kidneys, and the caul above the liver : 
 
 20 And they put the fat upon the breasts, *and 
 he burnt the fat upon the altar : 
 
 21 And the breasts and the right shoulder Aaron 
 waved "for a wave-offering before the Lord; as 
 Moses commanded. 
 
 22 And Aaron lifted up his hand toward the people, 
 and * blessed them; and came down from offering of 
 the sin-offering, and the burnt-offering, and peace- 
 offerings. 
 
 23 And Moses and Aaron went into the taber- 
 nacle of the congregation, and came out, and blessed 
 the people : c and the glory of the Lord appeared 
 unto all the people. 
 
 24 And d there came a fire 
 Lord, and consumed upon the 
 ing and the fat : which when 
 'the}' shouted, and fell on their faces 
 
 CHAP. X. 
 
 1 Nadab and Abihu, for offering of strange fire, are burnt by fire. 8 Thi 
 priests are forbidden xoine when they are to go into the tabernacle. 
 
 AND a Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, *took 
 either of them his censer, and put fire therein, 
 and put incense thereon, and offered r strange fire 
 before the Lord, which he commanded them not. 
 
 2 And there ''went out fire from the Lord, and 
 devoured them, and they died before the Lord. 
 
 3 Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that the 
 Lord spake, saying, I will be sanctified in them 'that 
 come nigh me, and before all the people I will be 
 •'glorified. *And Aaron held his peace. 
 
 4 And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, th 
 sons of ''Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said unto 
 them, Come near, 'carry your brethren from before 
 the sanctuary 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 unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar 
 and unto Ithamar, his sons, * Uncover not your heads, 
 neither rend your clothes; lest ye die, and lest 'wrath 
 come upon all the people : but let yuur brethren, the 
 
 out from before the 
 altar the burnt-offer- 
 all the people saw, 
 

 TJie law of eating the ho!// thing*. 
 
 ft hole house of Israel, bewail the burning which 
 the Lord hath kindled. 
 
 7 "'And ye shall not go out from the door of* the 
 tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: "for the 
 anointing oil of the Loud is upon you. And they 
 did according to the word of Moses. 
 
 8 1[And the Lord spake unto Aaron, saying, 
 
 9 'Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor 
 thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tabernacle 
 of the congregation, lest ye die : it shall be a statute 
 for ever throughout your generations : 
 
 10 And that ye may p put difference between holy 
 and unholy, and between unclean and clean; 
 
 11 'And that ye may teach the children of Israel 
 all the statutes which the Lord hath spoken unto 
 them by the hand of Moses. 
 
 12 it And Moses spake unto Aaron, and unto 
 Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons that were left, 
 Take 'the meat-offering that remaineth of the offer- 
 ings of the Lord made by fire, and eat it without 
 leaven beside the altar: for 'it is most holy: 
 
 18 And ye shall eat it in tie holy place, because it 
 is thy due, and thy sons' due, of the sacrifices of 
 the Lord made by fire: for 'so I am commanded. 
 
 14 And " the wave-breast and heave-shoulder shall 
 ye e<i,o in a clean place ; thou, and thy sons, and thy 
 daughters with thee : for the// be thv due, and thy 
 sons due, which are given out of the sacrifices of 
 peace-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 the Lord ; 
 and it shall be thine, and thy sons' with thee, by a 
 statute for ever ; as the Lord hath commanded. 
 
 16 IT And Moses diligently sought "'the goat of 
 the sin-offering, and behold, it was burnt: and he 
 was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of 
 Aaron which 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 congrega- 
 tion, to make atonement for them before the Lord? 
 
 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 unto Moses, Behold, r this day 
 have they offered their sin-offering, and their burnt- 
 offering before the Lord; and such things have be- 
 fallen me : and if I had eaten the sin-offering to- 
 day, d should it have been accepted in the sight of 
 the Lord? 
 
 20 And when Moses heard that, he was content.

 2 What beasts may, 4 and what may not be eaten. 9 What fishes. 13 What 
 fowls. 20 The creepiny thinys which are unclean. 
 
 AND the Lord spake unto Moses and to Aaron, 
 saying unto them, 
 
 2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, " These 
 are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts 
 that are on the earth. 
 
 3 Whal soever 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 di- 
 videth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. j

 CHAP. XIII. 
 
 The Jaws and tokens whereby the priest is to be guided in discerning the 
 
 leprosy. 
 
 AND the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron, 
 saying, 
 
 2 When a man shall have in the skin of his flesh 
 a || rising, °a scab, or bright spot, and it be in the 
 skin of liis flesh like the plague of leprosy ; * then he 
 shall be brought unto Aaron the priest, or unto 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 be 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 turned 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 
 dark, and the plague spread not in the skin, the 
 priest shall pronounce him clean : it is bid 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 of the priest for his 
 cleansing, he shall be seen of 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 Tf When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then 
 he shall be brought unto the priest; 
 
 10 rf 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 | quick 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 tne skin, 
 and the leprosy cover all the skin of him thai hath 
 

 The laivs and tokens 
 
 the plague from his head even to his loot, whereso- 
 ever 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 unto the priest ; 
 
 17 And the priest shall see him : and behold, if the 
 plague be turned into white ; then the priest shall pro- 
 nounce him clean that hath the plague : he is clean. 
 
 18 HThe flesh also, in which, even in the skin 
 thereof, was a 'boil, and is healed, 
 
 19 And in the place of the boil there be a white 
 rising, or a bright spot, white, and somewhat red- 
 dish, and it be shewed to the priest ; 
 
 20 And if, when the priest seeth it, behold, it be in 
 Right 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 boil. 
 
 21 But if the priest look on it, and behold, there 
 be no white hairs therein, and if it be not lower than 
 the skin, but be somewhat dark ; then the priest 
 shall shut him up seven days : 
 
 22 And if it spread much abroad in the skin, then 
 the priest shall pronounce hiin unclean ; it is a plague. 
 
 23 But if the bright spot stay in his place, and 
 spread not, it is a burning boil; and the priest 
 shall pronounce him clean. 
 
 24 1" Or if there be any flesh, in the skin where- 
 of Mere is f a hot burning, and the quick flesh that 
 burnetii have a white bright spot, somewhat red 
 dish, or white ; 
 
 25 Then the priest shall look upon it ; and behold 
 if the hair in the bright spot be turned white, and it 
 be in sight deeper than the skin ; it is a leprosy broken 
 out of the burning : wherefore the priest shall pro 
 nounce him unclean ; it is the plagueof leprosy. 
 
 26 But if the priest look on it, and behold, there 
 be wo white hair in the bright spot, and it be no lower 
 than the oMerskin, but be somewhat dark; then the 
 priesl 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 pronounce him unclean : it is 
 the plague of leprosy. 
 
 28 And if the bright spot stay in his place, and 
 spread not in the skin, but it be somewhat dark ; it 
 is a rising of the burning, and the priest shall pro- 
 nounce him clean: for it is an inflammation of the 
 burning. 
 
 29 IT If a man or woman have a plague upon the 
 head or the beard ; 
 
 30 Then the priest shall see the plague : and be- 
 hold, 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 be not in sight deeper than the 
 skin, and that there is no black hair in it; then the 
 priest shall shut ur him that hath the plague of the 
 scaii seven days :

 is a freckled spot that groweth in the skin ; he is clean. 
 
 40 And the man whose t hair 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 toward his face, he is forehead-bald; 
 yet is he clean. 
 
 42 And if there be in the bald head, or bald fore- 
 head, 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 appear- 
 eth in the skin of the flesh ; 
 
 44 He is a leprous man, he is unclean : the priest 
 shall pronounce him utterly unclean; his plague is

 made of skin : 
 
 49 And if the plague be greenish or reddish in

 50 And the priest shall look upon the plague, and

 leprosy ; it is unclean.

 AND the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 
 2 This shall be the law of the leper in the 
 day of his cleansing : He " shall be brought unto the 
 priest : 
 
 3 And the priest shall go forth out of the camp : 
 and the priest shall look, and behold, if the plague

 33 HAnd the Loud spake unto Moses and unto 
 Aaron, saying, 
 
 34 'When ye be 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 ''a plague in the house : 
 
 36 Then the priest shall command that they || empty 
 the house, before the priest go into it to see the plague, 
 that all that is in the house be not made unclean; 
 and afterward 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 hol- 
 low streaks, greenish, or reddish, which in sight are 
 lower than the wall; 
 
 38 Then the priest shall go out of the house to the 
 loor 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 put them 
 in the place of those stones ; and he 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 plastered; 
 
 44 Then the priest shall come and look ; and be- 
 nold, if the plague be spread in the house, it is e 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 all the 
 while that it is shut up, shall be unclean until the even. 
 
 47 And he that lieth in the house shall wash his 
 clothes: and he that eateth in the house shall wash 
 his clothes. 
 
 48 And if the priest f shall come in, and look 
 upon it, and behold, the plague hath not spread in 
 the house, after the house was plastered : then the 
 priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the 
 plague is healed. 
 
 49 And -^he shall take to cleanse the house two 
 birds, and cedar-wood, and scarlet, and hyssop : 
 
 50 And he shall kill the one of the birds in an 
 earthen vessel, over running water :

 This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded, 
 saying, 
 
 3 What man soever 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 'And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabci- 
 nacle of the congregation, to offer an offering unto 
 the Lord before the tabernacle of the Loud : blood 
 shall be e imputed unto that man, he hath shed blood ; 
 and that man ''shall be cut oft' from among his 
 people : 
 
 5 To the end that the children of Israel may bring 
 their sacrifices e which they offer in the open field, 
 even that they may bring them unto the Lord, unto 
 the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto 
 the priest, and offer them for peace-offerings unto 
 the Lord. 
 
 6 And the priest 'shall sprinkle the blood upon 
 the altar of the Lord at the door of the tabernacle 
 of the congregation, and A 'burn the fat for a sweet 
 savour unto the Lord. 
 
 7 And they shall no more offer their sacrifices 
 ''unto devils, after whom they 'have gone a whoring : 
 This shall be a statute for ever unto them through- 
 out their generations. 
 
 8 II And thou shalt say unto them, Whatsoever 
 man there be of the house of Israel, or of the stran- 
 gers which sojourn among you, Hhat offereth a 
 burnt-offering or sacrifice, 
 
 9 And 'bringeth it not unto the door of the taber- 
 nacle of the congregation, to offer it unto the Lord ; 
 even that man shall be cut off from among his people. 
 
 10 IF "'And whatsoever man there be of the house 
 of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among 
 you, that eateth any manner of blood ; " I will even 
 set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and 
 will cut him off from among his people. 
 
 11 "For the life of the flesh is in the blood ; and 
 I have given it to you upon the altar, ''to make an 
 atonement for your souls: for'kWs the blood that 
 maketh an atonement for the soul. 
 
 12 Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, 
 No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any 
 stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood. 
 
 13 And whatsoever man there be of the children 
 of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among 
 you, f which r hunteth and catcheth any beast or 
 fowl that may be eaten; he shall 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 unto the chil- 
 dren of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner 
 of flesh ; for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: 
 whosoever eateth it shall be cut off. 
 
 15 *And every soul that eateth f that which died of 
 itself, or that which was torn ivith beasts, (whether it oe. 
 one of your own country, or a stranger,) y he shall 
 both wash his clothes, s and bathe himself in water, 
 and be unclean until the even : then shall lie be clean. 
 
 16 But if he wash them not, nor bathe his flesh ; 
 then "he shall bear his iniquity.

 24 And Moses told it unto Aaron, and to his sons 
 and unto all the children of Israel. 
 CHAP. XXII. 
 
 The priests in their vncleanness must abstain from the holy things. 
 
 AND the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 
 2 Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, that they 
 "separate themselves from the holy things of the 
 children of Israel, and that they 'profane not my 
 holy name in those things which they 'hallow unto 
 me : I am the Lord. 
 
 3 Say unto them, Whosoever he be of all your seed 
 among your generations, that goeth unto the holy 
 things, which the children of Israel hallow unto the 
 Lord, ^having his uneleanness upon him, that soul 
 shall be cut off from my presence : I am the Lord. 
 
 4 What man soever of the seed of Aaron is a 
 leper, or hath e a f running issue; he shall not eat 
 of the holy things, J until he be clean. And* whoso 
 toucheth any thing that is unclean by the dead, or 
 ''a man whose seed goeth from him: 
 
 5 Or 'whosoever toucheth any creeping thing, 
 
 whereby he may be made unclean, or *a man of 
 whom he may take uncleanness, whatsoever un- 
 cleanness he hath : , 
 
 6 The soul which hath touched any such shall 
 be unclean until the even, and shall not eat of the 
 holy things, unless he 'wash his flesh with water. 
 
 7 And when the sun is down, he shall be clean, 
 and shall afterward eat of the holy things, because 
 m it is his food. 
 
 8 " That which dieth of itself, or is torn with beasts, 
 he shall not eat to defile himself therewith: I am 
 the Lord. 
 
 9 They shall therefore keep mine ordinance, "lost 
 they bear sin for it, and die therefore, if they pro 
 fane it: I the Lord do sanctify them. 
 
 10 ''There shall no stranger eat of the holy thing: 
 a sojourner of the priest, or an hired servant, shall 
 not eat of the holy thing. 
 
 11 But if the priest buy any soul f with his money, 
 he shall eat of it, and he that is born in his house; 
 ''they shall eat of his meat.

 fa stranger, sle may not eat cf an offering of the

 13 But if* the priests daughter be a widow, or di- 
 vorced, and have no child, and is 'returned unto her 
 father's house, 'as in her youth, she shall eat of her 
 father's meat; but there shall no stranger eat thereof. 
 
 14 If 'And if a man eat of the holy thing unwit- 
 tingly, then lie shall put the fifth part thereof nnto 
 it, and shall give it unto the priest, with the holy thing.

 17 IT And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 
 
 18 Speak Unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto 
 all the children of Israel, and say unto them, y What- 
 soever he be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers 
 in Israel, that will offer his oblation for all his vows, 
 and for all his free-will-offerings, which they will 
 offer unto the Lord for a burnt-offering : 
 
 19 x Ye shall offer at your own will a male without 
 blemish of the beeves, of the sheep, or of the goats. 
 
 20 "But whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye 
 not offer : for it shall not be acceptable for you. 
 
 21 And 'whosoever offereth a sacrifice of peace- 
 offerings unto the Lord r to accomplish his vow, or a 
 free-will-offering in beeves, or || sheep, it shall be per- 
 fect to be accepted : there shall be no blemish therein. 
 
 22 d Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, 
 or scurvy, or scabbed, ye shall not offer these unto 
 the Lord, nor make e an offering by fire of them upon 
 the altar unto the Lord. 
 
 23 Either a bullock, or a || lamb that hath any 
 thing-/ superfluous or lacking in his parts, that maj'est 
 thou offer for a free-will-offering; but for a vow it 
 shall not be accepted. 
 
 24 Ye shall not offer unto the Lord that which 
 is bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut; neither 
 shall ye make any offering thereof in your land. 
 
 *6 Neither 5 from a stranger's hand shall ye offer 
 *the bread of your God of any of these; because 
 their 'corruption is in them, and blemishes be in 
 them : they shall not be accepted for you. 
 
 26 HAnd the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 
 
 27 k When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat is brought 
 forth, then it shall be seven days under the dam ; 
 and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be 
 accepted for an offering made by fire unto the Lord. 
 
 28 And whether it be cow, or || ewe, ye shall not 
 kill it 'and her young both in one day. 
 
 29 And when ye will '" offer a sacrifice of thanks- 
 giving unto the Lord, offer it at your own will. 
 
 30 On the same day it shall be eaten up, ye shall

 AND the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 
 2 "Command the children of Israel, that they 
 bring unto thee pure oil-olive beaten for the light, 
 fto cause the lamps to burn continually. 
 
 3 Without the vail of the testimony, in the taber- 
 nacle of the congregation, shall Aaron order it from 
 the evening unto the morning before the Lord con- 
 tinually : it shall be a statute for ever jn your gene- 
 rations. 
 
 4 He shall order the lamps upon *the pure candle- 
 stick before the Lord continually. 
 
 5 IF And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve 
 c cakes thereof: two tenth-deals shall be in one cake. 
 
 6 And thou shalt set them in two rows, six on a 
 row, ''upon the pure table before the Lord. 
 
 7 And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon each 
 row, that it may be on the bread for a memorial, even 
 an offering made by fire unto the Lord. 
 
 8 e Every sabbath he shall set it in order before 
 the Lord continually, being taken from the children 
 of Israel by an everlasting covenant. 
 
 9 And -^it shall be Aaron's and his sons'; *and 
 they shall eat it in the holy place : for it is most 
 holy unto him of the offerings of the Lord made by 
 fire by a perpetual statute. 
 
 10 IF And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose 
 father was an Egyptian, went out among the children 
 of Israel; and this son of the Israelitish woman and 
 a man of Israel strove together in the camp ; 
 
 11 And the Israelitish woman's son ''blasphemed 
 the name of the LORD, and 'cursed 1 ; and they 
 * brought him unto Moses : (and his mother's name 
 was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe 
 of Dan:) 
 
 12 And they 'put him in ward, f m that the mind 
 of the Lord might be shewed them. 
 
 13 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 
 
 14 Bring forth him that hath cursed without the 
 camp; and let all that heard him "lay their hands 
 upon his head, and let all the congregation stone hint. 
 
 15 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, 
 saying, Whosoever curseth his God "shall bear his sin. 
 
 16 And he that^blasphemeth the name of the Lord, 
 he shall surely be put to death, and all the congrega- 
 tion shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, 
 as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth 
 the name of the LORD, shall be put to death. 
 
 17 IF q And he that f killeth any man shall surely 
 be put to death. 
 
 18 'And he that killeth a beast shall make it 
 good ; | beast for beast. 
 
 19 And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbour; 
 as 'he hath done, so shall it be done unto him: 
 
 20 Breach for breach, eye for eye tooth for tooth . 
 as he hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be 
 done to him again. 
 
 21 'And he that killeth a beast, he shall restore it . 
 "and he that killeth a man, he shall be put to death. 
 
 22 Y r e shall have r one manner of law, as well foi 
 the stranger, as for one of your own country : for 1 
 am the Lord your God.

 "that they should bring foith him that had cursed out 
 of the camp, and stone him with stones: and the

 A ND the Lord spake unto Moses in mount Sinai, 
 IV saying, 
 
 2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto 
 them, When ye come into the land which I give you, 
 then shall the land fkeep "a sabbath unto the Lord. 
 
 3 Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years 
 thou shaft prune thy vineyard, and gather in the 
 fruit thereof; 
 
 4 But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of 
 rest unto the land, a sabbath for the Lord : thou 
 shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard. 
 
 5 'That which groweth of its own accord of th}' 
 harvest, thou shalt not reap, neither gather the grapes 
 f of thy vine undressed : for it is a year of rest unto 
 the land. 
 
 6 And the sabbath of the land shall be meat for 
 yon; for thee, and for thy servant, and for thy maid, 
 and for thy hired servant, and for thy stranger that 
 sojourneth with thee, 
 
 7 And for thy cattle, and for the beast that are 
 in thy land, shall all the increase thereof be meat. 
 
 8 And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of 
 years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the 
 space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto 
 thee forty and nine years. 
 
 9 Then shalt thou cause the trumpet fof the 
 jubilee to sound, on the tenth day of the seventh 
 month, c in the day of atonement shall ye make the 
 trumpet sound throughout all your land. 
 
 10 And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and ''pro- 
 claim liberty throughout all the laud unto all the in- 
 habitants thereof: it shall be a jubilee unto you; 
 f aud ye shall return eveiy man unto his possession, 
 and ye shall return eAery man unto his family. 
 
 11 A jubilee shall that fiftieth year be unto you : 
 'ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth 
 of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of thy vine 
 undi*essed. 
 
 12 For ik'is the jubilee; it shall be holy unto you : 
 *3 r e shall eat the increase thereof out of the field. 
 
 13 ''In the year of this jubilee ye shall return 
 every man unto his possession. 
 
 14 And if thou sell aught unto thy neighbour, or 
 buyest aught of thy neighbour'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 accord- 
 ing unto the number of years of the fruits he shall 
 sell unto thee : 
 
 16 According to the multitude of years thou shalt 
 increase the price thereof, and according to the few- 
 ness of years thou shalt diminish the price of it : for 
 according to the number of the years of the fruits doth 
 he sell unto thee. 
 
 17 'Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; "'but 
 thou shalt fear thy God : for 1 am the Lord your God. 
 
 18 If "Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and 
 keep my judgments, and do them; "and ye shall 
 dwell in the land in safety. 
 
 19 And the land shall yield her fruit, and ''ye 
 shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety.

 come in ye shall eat of the old store. 
 
 23 If The land shall not be sold || -f for ever; for 
 •*the land is mine, for ye are y 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 If thy brother be waxen poor, and hath sold 
 away some of his possession, and if "any of his kin 
 come to redeem it, then shall he redeem that which 
 his brother sold. 
 
 26 And if the man have none to redeem it, and 
 f himself be able to redeem it ; 
 
 27 Then A lethim count the years of the sale thereof, 
 and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he 
 sold it; that he may return unto 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: 'and 
 in the jubilee it shall go out, and he shall return 
 unto his possession. 
 
 29 And if a man sell a dwelling-house in a walled 
 city, then he may redeem it within 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 generations; 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 ''the cities of the Levites, 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 posses 
 sion e shall go out in the year of jubilee ; for the nouses 
 of the cities of the Levites are their possession

 34 But Ahe field of the suburbs of their cities may 
 not be sold, for it is their perpetual possession. 
 
 35 If And if thy brother be waxen poor, and f fallen

 37 Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, 
 nor lend him thy victuals for increase. 
 
 38 * I am the Lord your God, which brought you

 of Canaan, and to be your God. 
 
 39 If And 'if thy brother that dwelleth by thee be

 42 For they are 'my servants which I brought

 43 ''Thou shait not rule over him 'with rigour, 
 but r shalt fear thy God. 
 
 44 Both thy bond-men, and thy bond-maids, 
 which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen that 
 are round about you ; of them shall ye buy bond- 
 men and 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, which they begat 
 in your land : and they shall be your possession. 
 
 46 And 'ye shall take them as an inheritance for 
 your children after you, to inherit them for a pos- 
 session, fthey shall be your bond-men for ever: 
 but over your brethren the children of Israel, "ye 
 shall not rule one over another with rigour. 
 
 47 11 And if a sojourner or a stranger fwax rich 
 oy thee, and ^thy brother that dwelleth by him wax 
 joor, and sell himself unto the stranger or sojourner 
 by thee, or to the stock of the stranger's family : 
 
 48 After that he is sold he may be redeemed 
 again; one of his brethren may y redeem him: 
 
 49 Either his uncle, or his uncle's son may redeem 
 him, or any that is nigh of kin unto 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, unto the year 
 of jubilee : and the price of his sale shall be accord- 
 ing unto the number of years, "according to the time 
 of an hired servant shall it be with him. 
 
 51 If there be yet many years behind, according 
 unto them he shall give again the price of his re- 
 demption out of the money that he was bought for. 
 
 52 And if there remain but few years unto the 
 year of jubilee, then he shall count with him, and 
 according unto his years shall he give him again the 
 price of his redemption. 
 
 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. 
 
 54 And if he be not redeemed || in these years, 
 then b he shall go out in the year of jubilee, both 
 he, and his children with him.

 vants, they are my servants whom I brought forth

 3 From twenty years old and upward, all that are 
 able to go forth to war in Israel ; thou and Aaron 
 shall number them by their armies.

 on the first day of the second month, and they declared 
 their pedigrees after their families, by the house of 
 their fathers, according to the number of the names, 
 from twenty years old and upward, by their polls.

 born that openeth the matrix among the children 
 of Israel : therefore the Levites shall be mine ;

 5 Restitution is to be made in trespasses. 11 The trial of jealousy. 
 
 AND the Lord spake unto 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 whosoever 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 whereof I dwell. 
 
 4 And the children of Israel did so, and put then? 
 
The frJtl of kuhiwj. 
 
 out without the camp : as the Lord spake unto Mo- 
 ses, so did the children of Israel. 
 
 5 If And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 
 
 6 Speak unto the children of Israel, 'When a man 
 or woman shall commit any sin that men commit, 
 to do a trespass against the Lord, and that person 
 be guilty ; 
 
 / 'Then they shall confess their sin which they 
 have done: .and he shall recompense his trespass 
 *with the principal thereof, and add unto it the fifth 
 part thereof, and give it unto him against whom he 
 hath trespassed. 
 
 8 But if the man have no kinsman to recompense 
 the trespass unto, let the trespass be recompensed 
 unto the Lord, even to the priest; besides ''the 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 unto the 
 priest, shall be his. 
 
 10 And every man's hallowed things shall he his : 
 whatsoever any man giveth the priest, it shall he *his. 
 
 11 HAnd the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 
 
 ] 2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto 
 them, If any man's wife go aside, and commit a 
 trespass against him, 
 
 13 And a man 'lie with her carnally, and it he 
 hid 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 with the manner; 
 
 14 And the spirit of jealousy come upon him, 
 and he be jealous of his wife, and she be defiled : or 
 if the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be 
 jealous of his wife, and she he not defiled : 
 
 15 Then shall the man hring his wife unto the 
 priest, and he shall hring her offering for her, the 
 tenth part of an ephah of barley-meal ; he shall pour 
 no oil upon it, nor put frankincense thereon ; for it 
 is an offering of jealousy, an offering of memorial, 
 m bringing iniquity to remembrance. 
 
 16 And the priest shall bring her near, and set 
 her before the Lord : 
 
 17 And the priest shall take holy water in an 
 earthen vessel ; and of the dust that is in the floor 
 of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put it 
 into the water : 
 
 18 And the priest shall set the woman before the 
 'jOrd, and uncover the woman's head, and put the 
 offering of memorial in her hands, which is the 
 lealousy-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 
 hay unto the woman, If no man have lain with thee, 
 and if thou hast not gone aside to uncleanness || f with 
 another instead of thy husband, he 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 defiled, and some 
 man have lain with thee besides thy husband : 
 
 21 Then the priest shall "charge the woman with 
 an oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the 
 woman, "the Lord make thee a curse and an oath 
 among thy people, when the Lord doth make thy 
 chigh to f rot, 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 rot. ''And the woman shall say, Amen, 
 amen

 The law of the Na.znnUn 
 
 23 And the priest shall write these curses in a 
 oook, and he shall blot them out with the bitter 
 water : 
 
 24 And he shall cause the woman to drink U.o 
 bitter water that causeth the curse : and the watej 
 that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and be 
 come bitter. 
 
 25 Then the priest shall take the jealousy-offer 
 ing out of the woman's hand, and shall r wave tin 
 offering before the Lord, and offer it upon the altar 
 
 26 'And the priest shall take an handful of the 
 offering, even the memorial thereof, and burn it upon 
 the altar, and afterward shall cause the woman to 
 drink the w r ater. 
 
 27 And when he hath made her to drink the water, 
 then it shall come to pass, that, if she be defiled, 
 and have done trespass against her husband, that 
 the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, 
 and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her 
 thigh shall rot: and the Avoman 'shall be a curse 
 among her people. 
 
 28 And if the woman he not defiled, but he clean; 
 then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed. 
 
 29 This is the law of jealousies, wlien a wife goeth 
 aside to another "instead of her husband, and is de- 
 filed ; 
 
 30 Or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon 
 him, and he he jealous over his wife, and shall set 
 the woman before the Lord, and the priest shall 
 execute upon her all this law. 
 
 31 Then shall the man be guiltless from iniquity, 
 and this woman * 'shall bear her iniquity.

 1 The law of the Nazarites. 22 The form of blessing the people 
 
 AND the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 
 2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say 
 unto them, When either man or woman shall || " sepa- 
 rate themselves to vow a vow of a Nazarite, to sepa 
 rate themselves unto the Lord : 
 
 3 b He shall separate himself from wine and strong 
 drink, and shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar 
 of strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of 
 grapes, nor eat moist grapes, or dried. 
 
 4 All the days of his | separation shall he eat no- 
 thing that is made of the f vine-tree, from the ker 
 nels even to the husk. 
 
 5 All the days of the vow of his separation there 
 shall no c razor come upon his head : until the days 
 he fulfilled, in the which he separateth himself unto 
 the Lord, he shall be holy, and shall let the locks 
 of the hah" of his head grow. 
 
 6 All the days that he separateth himself unto 
 the Lord, ''he shall come at no dead body. 
 
 7 c He shall not make himself unclean for his 
 father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for hia 
 sister, when they die : because the fconsecration of 
 his God is upon his head. 
 
 8 All the days of his separation he is holy unto 
 the Lord. 
 
 9 And if any man die very suddenly by him, and 
 he hath defiled the head of his consecration ; then 
 he shall f shave his head in the day of his cleansing, 
 on the seventh day shall he shave it. 
 
 10 And *on the eighth day he shall bring two tur- 
 tles, or two young pigeons; to the priest, to the 
 door of the tabernacle of the congregation : 
 
 11 And the priest shall offer the one for a sin-otler- 
 ing, and the other for a burnt-offering, and make an 
 
 101 
 
The form of blessing the people. 
 
 atonement for him, for that he sinned by the dead, 
 and shall hallow his head that same day. 
 
 12 And he shall consecrate unto the Lord the 
 days of his separation, and shall bring a lamb of the 
 first year ''for a trespass-offering : but the days that 
 were before shall fbe lost, because his separation 
 was defiled. 
 
 13 II And this is the law of the Nazarite : 'When 
 the days of his separation are fulfilled, he shall be 
 brought unto the door of the tabernacle of the con- 
 gregation : 
 
 14 And he shall offer his offering unto the Lord, 
 one he-lamb of the first year without blemish for a 
 burnt-offering, and one ewe-lamb of the first year 
 without blemish fc for a sin-offering, and one ram with- 
 out blemish 'for peace-offerings, 
 
 15 And a basket of unleavened bread, m cakes of 
 fine flour mingled with oil, and wafers of unleavened 
 bread "anointed with oil, and their meat-offering and 
 their "drink-offerings. 
 
 16 And the priest shall bring them before the 
 Lord, and shall offer his sin-offering, and his burnt- 
 offering : 
 
 17 And he shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of 
 peace-offerings unto the Lord, with the basket of 
 unleavened bread : the priest shall offer also his 
 meat-offering, and his drink-offering. 
 
 18 p And the Nazarite shall shave the head of his 
 separation at the door of the tabernacle of the con- 
 gregation, and shall take the hair of the head of his 
 separation, and put it in the fire which is under the 
 sacrifice of the peace-offerings. 
 
 19 And the priest shall take the 'sodden shoulder 
 of the ram, and one unleavened cake out of the 
 basket, and one unleavened wafer, and r shall put 
 iJiem 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 the Lord : •'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 unto the Lord for his 
 separation, besides that that his hand shall get : 
 according to the vow which he vowed, so he must 
 do after the law of his separation. 
 
 22 IT And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 
 
 23 Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, 
 On this wise 'ye shall bless the children of Israel, 
 saying unto them, 
 
 24 The Lord bless thee, and "keep thee: 
 
 25 The Lord w make his face shine upon thee, and 
 1 be gracious unto thee : 
 
 26 y The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, 
 and *give thee peace. 
 
 27 °And they shall put my name upon the chil- 
 dren of Israel, and b I will bless them.

 AND the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 
 2 Speak unto Aaron, and say unto him, When 
 thou "Ugh test the lamps, the seven lamps shall give 
 light over against the candlestick. 
 
 3 And Aaron did so ; he righted the lamps thereof 
 over against the candlestick, as the Lord com- 
 manded Moses. 
 
 4 'And this work of the candlestick ivas of beaten 
 gold, unto the shaft thereof, unto the flowers thereof, 
 ivas c beaten work : d according unto the pattern which 
 the Lord had shewed Moses, so he made the can- 
 dlestick. 
 
 5 IT And the Lord spake unto Moses 
 
 6 Take the Levites from 
 Israel, and cleanse them. 
 
 7 And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse 
 them : Sprinkle e water of purifying upon them, and 
 f^let them shave all their flesh, and let them wash 
 their clothes, and so make themselves clean. 
 
 8 Then let them take a young bullock with *his 
 meat-offering, even fine flour mingled with oil, and 
 another young bullock shalt thou take for a sin- 
 offering. 
 
 9 'And thou shalt bring the Levites before the ta- 
 bernacle of the congregation: 'and thou shalt gather 
 the whole assembly of the children of Israel together : 
 
 10 And thou shalt bring the Levites before the 
 Lord: and the children of Israel k shall put their 
 hands upon the Levites : 
 
 11 And Aaron shall f offer the Levites before 
 the Lord for an | offering of the children of Israel, 
 that f they may execute the service of the Lord. 
 
 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, 
 unto the Lord, 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 
 anto the Lord. 
 
 14Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among 
 ihe children of Israel : and the Levites shall be m mine. 
 
 15 And after that shall the Levites go in to do 
 the service of the tabernacle of the congregation :

 The age and time of their service 
 
 and thou shalt cleanse them, and " offer them fot 
 an offering. 
 
 16 For they are wholly given unto me from among 
 the children of Israel; "instead of such as open every 
 womb, even instead of the hi st-born of all the children 
 of Israel, have I taken them unto me. 
 
 17 ''For all the first-born of the children of Israel 
 are mine, both man and beast: on the day that J 
 smote every first-born in the land of Egypt 1 sanc- 
 tified 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 -fa, gift to 
 Aaron and to his sons from among the children of 
 Israel, to do the service of the children of Israel in 
 the tabernacle of the congregation, and to make an 
 atonement for the children of Israel : r that there he 
 no plague among the children of Israel, when the 
 children of Israel come nigh unto the sanctuary. 
 
 20 And Moses, and Aaron, and all the congre- 
 gation of the children of Israel, did to the Levites 
 according unto all that the Lord commanded Moses 
 concerning the Levites, so did the children of Israel 
 unto them. 
 
 21 'And the Levites were purified, and they 
 washed their clothes; 'and Aaron offered them as 
 an offering before the Lord; and Aaron made an 
 atonement for them to cleanse them. 
 
 22 "And after that went the Levites in to df 
 their service in the tabernacle of the congregatioi 
 before Aaron, and before his sons : -"as the Lord hat 
 commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so die 
 they unto them. 
 
 23 HAnd the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 
 
 24 This is it that belongeth unto the Levites* 
 y From twenty and five years old and upward they 
 shall go in f to wait upon the service of the taber- 
 nacle of the congregation : 
 
 25 And from the age of fifty years they shall 
 t cease waiting upon the service thereof, and shall 
 serve no more : 
 
 26 But shall minister with their brethren in the 
 tabernacle of the congregation, *to keep the charge, 
 and shall do no service. Thus shalt thou do unto 
 the Levites touching their charge. 
 
 CHAP. IX. 
 
 15 The cloud guideth the removings and encampings of the Israelites. 
 
 AND the Lord spake unto Moses in the wilder- 
 ness of Sinai, in the first month of the secon.l 
 year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, 
 saying, 
 
 2 Let the children of Israel also keep "the pass- 
 over at his appointed season. 
 
 3 In the fourteenth day of this month, f at even, 
 ye shall keep it in his appointed season : according 
 to all the rites of it, and according to all the ceie- 
 monies thereof, shall ye keep it. 
 
 4 And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, 
 that they should keep the passover." 
 
 5 And b they kept the. passover on the fourteenth 
 day of the first month at even in the wilderness of 
 Sinai: according to all that the Lord commanded 
 Moses, so did the children of Israel. 
 
 6 HAnd there were certain men, who were ""de- 
 filed by the dead body of a man, that they could 
 not keep the passover on that day : d and they camo 
 before Moses and before Aaron on that day; 
 

 .1 cloud guideth the Israelites: 
 
 7 And those men said unto him, We are defiled by 
 the dead body of a man : wherefore are Ave kept back, 
 that we may not offer an offering of the Lord in his 
 appointed season among the children of Israel ? 
 
 8 And Moses said unto them, Stand still, and 'I 
 will hear what the Lord will command concerning you. 
 
 9 II And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 
 
 10 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If 
 ruvy man of you or of your posterity shall be un- 
 clean by reason of a dead body, or be in a journey 
 afar off, yet he shall keep the passover unto the Lord. 
 
 11 ■'The fourteenth day of the second month at 
 even they shall keep it, and B eat it with unleavened 
 bread and bitter herbs. 
 
 12 A They shall leave none of it unto the morning, 
 'nor break any bone of it : * according to all the or- 
 dinances of the passover they shall keep it. 
 
 13 But the man that is clean, and is not in a jour- 
 ney, and forbeareth to keep the passover, even the 
 same soul ' shall be cut off from among his people : 
 because he "'brought not the offering of the Lord in 
 his appointed season, that man shall "bear his sin. 
 
 14 And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, 
 and will keep the passover unto the Lord; accord- 
 ing to the ordinance of the passover, and according 
 tothe manner thereof, so shall he do : °ye shall have 
 one ordinance both for the stranger, and for him 
 that was born in the land. 
 
 15 IT And ''on the day that the tabernacle was 
 reared up, the cloud covered the tabernacle, namely, 
 the tent of the testimony : and q at even there was 
 upon the tabernacle 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 '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 the Lord the children 
 of Israel journeyed, and at the commandment of the 
 Lord they pitched : 'as long as the cloud abode 
 upon the tabernacle they rested in their tents. 
 
 19 And Avhen the cloud t tarried long upon the 
 tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel 
 'kept the charge of the Lord, and journeyed not. 
 
 20 And so it was, when the cloud was a few days 
 upon the tabernacle ; according to the commandment 
 of the Lord they abode in their tents, and according 
 to the commandment of the Lord they journeyed. 
 
 21 And so itwas,when the cloudfabode from even un- 
 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 tvere 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 the Lord they rested in 
 their tents, andat the commandment of the Lord they 
 journeyed : they x kept the charge of the Lord, at the 
 commandment of the Lord by the hand of Moses.

 for the journeying of the camps. 
 
 3 And when 6 they shall blow with them, all the 
 assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the 
 door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 
 
 4 And if they blow but with one trumpet,, thee 
 the princes, tvliich are 'heads of the thousands of Is-

 5 When ye blow an alarm, then d 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 e cn the south side shall take their 
 journey : they shall blow an alarm for their journeys. 
 
 7 But when the congregation is to be gathered to- 
 gether, •'ye shall blow,but ye shall not s 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 Avar in your land against tho

 ye shall BIoav Avith the trumpets over your burnl-

 11 II And it came to pass on the twentieth day 
 of the second month, in the second year, that the 
 cloud "Avas taken up from off the tabernacle of the 
 testimony. 
 
 12 And the children of Israel took ''their journeys 
 out of the q Avilderness of Sinai ; and the cloud rested 
 in the r wilderness of Paran. 
 
 13 And they first took thpir journey 'according 
 to the commandment of the Lord by the hand of 
 Moses. 
 
 14 IF In the first place went the standard of the 
 camp of the children of Judah according to their armies: 
 and over his host was "Nahshonthe son of Amminadab. 
 
 15 And over the host of the tribe of the children 
 of Issachar ivas Nethaneel 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 *the tabernacle was taken doAvn; and the 
 sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set fonvard, 
 y bearing the tabernacle. 
 
 18 II And z the 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 fonvard, bearing the 
 ° sanctuary : and || the other did set up the tabernacle 
 against they came. 
 
 22 HAnd ° the standard of the camp of the children 
 of Ephraim set forward according to their armies : 
 and over 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 TIAnd c the standard of the camp of the childicn 
 
 105 
 
The marma loathed. 
 
 of Dan set forward, which was the rere-ward of all 
 the camps throughout their hosts: and over his 
 host was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. 
 
 20 And over the host of the tribe of the children 
 of Asher tvas Pagiel the son of Ocran. 
 
 27 And over the host of the tribe of the children 
 of Naphtali tvas Ahira the son of Enan. 
 
 28 f'Thus were the journeyings of the children of Is- 
 rael according to their armies, when they set forward. 
 
 29 If And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of 
 'Raguel the Midianite, Moses' father-in-law, We are 
 journeying unto the place of which the Lord said, 
 J T will give it you : come thou with us, and f we will 
 do thee good : for Hhe Lord hath spoken good con- 
 cerning Israel. 
 
 30 And he said unto him, I will not go ; but I 
 will depart to mine own land, and to my kindred. 
 
 31 And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee : foras- 
 much as thou knowest how we are to encamp in the 
 wilderness, and thou mayest be to us "instead of eyes. 
 
 32 And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it 
 shall be, that *what goodness the Lord shall do 
 unto us, the same will we do unto thee. 
 
 33 HAnd they departed from 'the mount of the 
 Lord three days' journey : and the ark of the cove- 
 nant of the Lord m went before them in the three 
 days' journey, to search out a resting-place for them. 
 
 34 And "the cloud of the Lord was upon them 
 by day, when they went out of the camp. 
 
 35 And it came to pass, when the ark set for- 
 ward, that Moses said, "Rise up, Lord, and let thine 
 enemies be scattered ; and let them that hate thee 
 flee before thee. 
 
 30 And when it rested, he said, Return, Lord, 
 unto the f many thousands of Israel.

 AND "when the people || complained, fit displeas-

 anger was kindled ; and the c fire of the Lord burnt 
 among them, and consumed them that were in the 
 uttermost parts of the camp. 
 
 2 And the people cried unto Moses ; and when 
 Moses d prayed unto the Lord, the fire t was quenched. 
 
 3 And he called the name of the place || Taberah; 
 because the fire of the Lord burnt among them. 
 
 4 "([And the e mixed multitude that was among

 8 And the people went about, and gathered it, 
 and ground it in mills, or beat it in a mortar, and 
 haked it in pans, and made cakes of it: and 'the 
 taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil. 
 
 9 And m when the dew fell upon the camp in the

 Seventy elders appointed 
 
 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 be- 
 gotten them, that thou shouldest say unto me, ''Carry 
 them in thy bosom, as a 'nursing-father beareth the 
 sucking child, unto the land which thou r swarest 
 unto their fathers ? 
 
 13 'Whence should I have flesh to give unto all 
 this people? for they weep unto me, saying, Give 
 us flesh, that we may eat. 
 
 14 'I 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, out of hand, if I have found favour in thy 
 sight; and let me not ^see my wretchedness. 
 
 10 HAnd the Lord said unto Moses, Gather unto 
 me y seventy men of the eiders of Israel, whom thou 
 knowest to be the elders of the people, and 2 officers 
 over them; and bring them unto the tabernacle of the 
 congregation, that they may stand there with thee. 
 
 17 And I will "come down and talk with thee 
 there ; and b I will take 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 unto the people, "Sanctify vour- 
 selves against to-morrow, and ye shall eat flesh : 
 for ye have wept ''in the ears of the Lord, saying. 
 Who shall give us flesh to eat? f for it vms well with 
 us in Egypt : therefore the Lord 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 J But even a t whole month, until it come out 
 at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you : be 
 cause that ye have despised the Lord which is 
 among you, and have wept before him, saying, ^Why 
 came we forth out of Egypt ? 
 
 21 And Moses said, ''The people among whom J 
 am, are six hundred thousand footmen ; and thou 
 hast said, I will give th^m flesh, that they may eat 
 a whole month. 
 
 22 'Shall 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 the Lord said unto Moses, *Is the Lord's 
 hand waxed short ? thou shalt see now whether 'my 
 word shall come to pass unto thee, or not. 
 
 24 HAnd Moses went out, and told the people 
 the words of the Lord, and ""gathered the seventy 
 men of the elders of the people, and set them round 
 about the tabernacle. 
 
 25 And the Lord "came down in a cloud, and 
 spake unto him, and took of the spirit that tvas upon 
 him, and gave it unto the seventy elders : and it 
 came to pass, that "when the spirit rested upon them, 
 -they prophesied, and did not cease. 
 
 20 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 unto the tabernacle : 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. 
 
 28 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of

 Moses, one of his young men, answered and said, 
 My lord Moses, ' forbid them. 
 
 29 And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for 
 my sake? 'would God that all the Lord's people 
 wore prophets, and that the Lord would put his 
 Spirit upon them ! 
 
 30 And Moses gat him into the camp, he and the 
 elders of Israel. 
 
 31 IT And there went forth a 'wind from the 
 Lord, and brought quails from the sea, and let 
 them fall by the camp, f as it were a day's journey 
 on this side, and as it were 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, a.nd all the next day, and they gathered 
 (he quails : he that gathered least gathered ten 
 " homers : and they spread them all abroad for them- 
 selves round about the camp. 
 
 33 And while the * flesh tvas yet between their 
 teeth, ere it was chewed, the wrath of the Lord 
 was kindled against the people, and the Lord smote 
 the people with a very great plague. 
 
 34 And he called the name of that place || Kib- 
 roth-hattaavah : because there they buried the peo- 
 ple that lusted. 
 
 35 y And the people journeyed from Kibroth-hat- 
 taavah unto Hazeroth : and f abode at Hazeroth.

 God rcbuketh the sedition of Miriam and Aaron. 
 
 A ND Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses 
 ^*- because of the || Ethiopian woman whom he had 
 aiarried : for " he had f married an Ethiopian woman. 
 
 2 And they said, Hath the Lord indeed spoken 
 ?nly by Moses? A hath he not spoken also by us ? 
 And the Lord c heard it. 
 
 3 (Now the man Moses ivas very meek, above 
 all the men which were upon the face of the earth.) 
 
 4 e And the Lord spake suddenly unto Moses, 
 and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye 
 three unto the tabernacle of the congregation. And 
 they three came out. 
 
 5 ^And the Lord came down in the pillar of the 
 cloud, and stood in the door of the tabernacle, 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, / the Lord will make my- 
 self known unto him ^in a vision, and will speak 
 unto him ''in a dream. 
 
 7 'My servant Moses is not so, *who is faithful 
 in all 'mine house. 
 
 8 With him will I speak m mouth to mouth, even 
 "apparently, and not in dark speeches; and "the si- 
 militude of the Lord shall he behold : wherefore 
 then *' were ye not afraid to speak against my ser- 
 vant Moses: 
 
 9 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against 
 them; and he departed. 
 
 10 And the cloud departed from off the taber- 
 nacle; and 'behold, Miriam became r leprous, white 
 as snow : and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and be- 
 hold, she was leprous. 
 
 11 And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I 
 beseech thee, 'lay not the sin upon us, wherein we 
 have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned.

 flesh is half consumed when he ccmeth out of his

 AND the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 
 2 "Send thou men, that they may search the 
 land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of 
 Israel : of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send 
 a man, every one a ruler among them. 
 
 3 And Moses by the commandment of the Lord 
 sent them ''from the wilderness 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 r Of the tribe of Judah, rf 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,Nahbithe son of Vophsi 
 
 15 Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi. 
 
 16 These are the names of the men which Moses 
 sent to spy out the land. And Moses called ■'Oshea 
 the son of Nun, Jehoshua. 
 
 17 IT And Moses sent them to spy out the land 
 of Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this 
 way s southward, and go up into ''the mountain : 
 
 18 And see the land, what it is; and the people 
 that dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or 
 weak, few or many ; 
 
 19 And what the land is that they dwell in, r\he- 
 ther 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 'fat or lean, 
 whether there be wood therein, or not. And ' be ye 
 of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. 
 Now the time tvas the time of the first ripe gr /.pes. 
 
 21 TTSo they went up, and searched the land 
 'from the wilderness of Zin unto '"Rehob, a;» meD 
 come to Hamath. 
 
 22 And they ascended by the south, and came 
 unto Hebron; where "Ahiman, Sheshai, and Tal- 
 mai, "the children of Anak, were. (Now 'Hebron 
 was built seven years before '' Zoan in Egypt. ) 
 
 23 'And they came unto the II brook of .fishcid and 
 cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of 
 grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff; 
 and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs. 
 
 24 The place was called the || brook || Esbxol, be- 
 cause 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.

 Moses iniercedefh with Cod, 
 
 it be ere they 'believe me, for all the signs A\mich 
 I haA r e shewed among them ? 
 
 12 I will smite them Avith the pestilence, and dis- 
 inherit them, and 'Avill make of thee a greater na- 
 tion and mightier than they. 
 
 13 If And "Moses said unto the Lord, Then the 
 Egyptians shall hear it, (for thou broughtest up this 
 people in thy might from among them;) 
 
 14 And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this 
 land : x for they have heard that thou Lord art among 
 this people, that thou Lord art seen face to face^ 
 and that Hhy cloud standeth over them, and thai 
 thou goest before them, by day-time in a pillar of 
 a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night. 
 
 15 IINoav if thou shalt kill all this people as one 
 man, then the nations Avhich have heard the fame 
 of thee Avill speak, saying, 
 
 16 Because the Lord was not z able to bring this 
 people into the land which he SAvare unto them, 
 therefore he hath slain them in the Avilderness. 
 
 17 And. now, I beseech thee, let the poAver of my 
 Lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying, 
 
 18 The Lord £s "long-suffering, and of great mercy, 
 forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means 
 clearing the guilty, d visiting the iniquity of the fathers 
 upon the children unto the third and fourth generation. 
 
 19 c Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this 
 people ^according unto the greatness of thy mercy, 
 and c as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt 
 even || until iioav. 
 
 20 And the Lord said, I have pardoned •'"accord- 
 ing to thy word : 
 
 21 But as truly as I live, *all the earth shall be 
 filled with the glory of the Lord. 
 
 22 ''Because all those men AA'hich haA r e seen my 
 glory, and my miracles, Avhich I did in Egypt and 
 in the wilderness, and have tempted me now 'these 
 ten times, and have not hearkened to my A r oice ; 
 
 23 *f Surely they shall not see the land which 1 
 SAvare unto their fathers, neither shall any of them 
 that provoked me see it : 
 
 24 But my servant 'Caleb, because he had ano- 
 ther spirit Avith him, and "'hath folloAved me fully 
 him Avill I bring into the land whereinto he went; 
 and his seed shall possess it. 
 
 25 (Noav the Amalekites, and the Canaanites dAvelt 
 in the valley.) To-morroAV turn you, r -and get you 
 into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea. 
 
 26 IT And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto 
 Aaron, saying, 
 
 27 "How long shall Hear tvith this evil congrega- 
 tion, which murmur against me? ''I have heard the 
 murmurings of the children of Israel, which they 
 murmur against me. 
 
 28 Say unto them, g As truly as I lire, saith the 
 Lord, r as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do 
 to you : 
 
 29 Your carcasses shall fall in this Avilderness; 
 and 'all that Avere numbered of you, according to 
 your whole number, from tAventy years old and up 
 ward, Avhich haA r e murmured against me. 
 
 30 Doubtless ye shall not come into the land con- 
 cerning which I fsAvare to make you dAvell therein, 
 
 save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the 
 son of Nun. 
 
 31 "But your little ones, which ye said should be 
 a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know 
 the land Avhich 'ye have despised. 
 
The mumiurers punishment. 
 
 32 But as for you, Y your carcasses, they shall fall 
 in this wilderness. 
 
 33 And your children shall || 'wander in the wilder- 
 ness "forty years, and *bear your whoredoms, until 
 your carcasses be wasted in the wilderness. 
 
 34 c After the number of the days in which ye 
 searched the land, even d forty days (each day for a 
 year shall) ye bear your iniquities, even forty years; 
 'and ye shall know ||my breach of promise. 
 
 35 J I the Lord have said, I will surely do it unto 
 all y this evil congregation, that are gathered together 
 against me : in this wilderness they shall be con- 
 sumed, and there they shall die. 
 
 36 A And the men which 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 the 
 Lord. 
 
 38 *But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the 
 son of Jephunneh, ivhich tvere of the men that went 
 to search the land, lived still. 
 
 39 And Moses told these sayings unto all the chil- 
 dren of Israel: 'and the people mourned greatly. 
 
 40 IF And they rose up early in the morning, and 
 
 fat them up into the top of the mountain, saying, 
 (O, '" we be here, and will go up unto the place which 
 the Lord hath promised : for we have sinned. 
 
 41 And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye trans- 
 gress " the commandment of the Lord ? but it shall 
 not prosper. 
 
 42 "Go not up, for the Lord is not among you; 
 that ye be not smitten before your enemies. 
 
 43 For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are 
 there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword : ^be- 
 cause ye are turned away from the Lord, therefore 
 the Lord will not be with you. 
 
 44 q But they presumed to go up unto the hill-top : 
 nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the Lord, 
 and Moses, departed not out of the camp. 
 
 45 ''Then the Amalekites came down, and the Ca- 
 naanites which dwelt in that hill, and smote them, 
 and discomfited them, even unto 'Hormah.

 12 According to the number that ye shall prepare, 
 so shall ye do to every one according to their Dumber. 
 
 13 All that are born of the country shall do these 
 things after this manner, in offering an offering made 
 by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord. 
 
 14 And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whoso- 
 ever be among you in your generations, and will offer 
 an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the 
 Lord; as ye do, so he shall do. 
 
 15' /'One ordinance shall be both for you of the con-

 with you, an ordinance for ever in your generations : 
 as ye are, so shall the stranger be before the Lord. 
 
 16 One law and one manner shall be for you, and 
 for the stranger that sojourneth with you. 
 
 17 HAnd the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 
 
 18 * Speak unto the children of Israel, and say 
 unto them, When ye come into the land whither I 
 bring you, 
 
 19 Then it shall be, that when ye eat of r the bread 
 of the land, ye shall offer up an heave-ofierins: unto 
 the Lord. 
 
 20 J Ye shall offer up a cake of the first of your 
 dough for an heave-offering: as ye do 'the heave- 
 offering of the threshing-floor, so shall ye heave it. 
 
 21 Of the first of your dough ye shall give unto 
 the Lord an heave-offering in your generations. 
 
 22 "HAnd "if ye have erred, and not observed all 
 these commandments which the Lord hath spoken 
 unto Moses, 
 
 23 Even all that the Lord hath commanded you 
 by the hand of Moses, from the day that the Lord 
 commanded Moses, and henceforward among your 
 generations ; 
 
 24 Then it shall be *if aught be committed by 
 ignorance f without the knowledge of the congrega- 
 tion, that all the congregation shall offer one young 
 bullock for a burnt-offering, for a sweet savour unto 
 the Lord, y with his meat-offering, and his drink-offer-

 goats for a sin-offering. 
 
 25 "And the priest shall make an atonement for 
 all the congregation of the children of Israel, and it- 
 shall be forgiven them ; for it is ignorance : and they 
 shall bring their offering, a sacrifice made bv fire 
 unto the Lord, and their sin-offering before the Lord, 
 for their ignorance : 
 
 26 And it shall be forgiven all the congregation 
 of the children of Israel, and the stranger that 
 sojourneth among them; seeing all the people were 
 in ignorance. 
 
 27 IT And d if any soul sin through ignorance, then 
 he shall bring a she-goat of the first year for a sin- 
 offering. 
 
 28 "And the priest shall make an atonement foi 
 the soul that sinneth ignorantly, when he sinneth 
 by ignorance before the Lord, to make an atonement 
 for him; and it shall be forgiven him.

 29 "Ye shall have one law for him that f sinneth 
 through ignorance, both for him that is born among 
 (.he children of Israel, and for the stranger that so- 
 joumeth among them. 
 
 30 U'But the soul that doeth aught f presumptu- 
 ously, tvlicther he be born in the land, or a stranger, 
 the -same reproacheth the Lord; and that soul shall 
 be cut off from among his people. 
 
 31 Because he hath / despised the word of the 
 Lord, and hath broken his commandment, that soul 
 bhall utterly be cut off; ^'his iniquity shall be upon him. 
 
 32 U And while the children of Israel were in the 
 wilderness, Hhey found a man that gathered sticks 
 upon the sabbath-day. 
 
 33 And they that found him gathering sticks 
 brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all 
 the congregation. 
 
 34 And they put him 'in ward, because it was not 
 declared what should be done to him. 
 
 35 And the Lord said unto Moses, *The man shall 
 be surely put to death : all the congregation shall 
 
 stone him with stones without the camp. 
 
 36 And all the congregation brought him without 
 the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; 
 as the Lord commanded Moses. 
 
 37 UAnd the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 
 
 38 Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid '"them 
 that they make them fringes in the borders of their 
 garments throughout their generations, and that they 
 put upon the fringe of the borders a riband of blue : 
 
 39 And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye 
 may look upon it, and remember all the command- 
 ments of the Lord, and do them; and that ye "seek 
 not after your own heart and your own eyes, after 
 which ve use " to go a whoring : 
 
 40 'that ye may remember, and do all my com- 
 mandments, and be ■''holy unto your God. 
 
 41 I am the Lord your God, which brought you 
 out of the land of Egypt, to be your God : I am the

 The rebellion of Korah, Da than, and Abiram. 
 
 NOW " Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, 
 the son of Levi; and Dathan and Abiram, the 
 eons 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 hundred and fifty princes 
 of the assembly, b famous in the congregation, men 
 of renown : 
 
 3 And c they gathered themselves together against 
 Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, f Ye 
 ,ake too much upon you, seeing "all the congregation 
 arc holy, every one of them, c and the Lord is among 
 them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above 
 the congregation of the Lord ? 
 
 4 And when Moses heard it, f \ie fell upon his face : 
 
 5 And he spake unto Korah and unto all his com- 
 pany, saying, Even to-morrow the Lord will shew 
 who are his, and who is *holy; and will cause him to 
 come near unto him: even him whom he hath 
 ''chosen will he cause to 'come near unto him. 
 
 6 This do ; Take you censers, Korah, and all his 
 company; 
 
 7 And put fire therein, and put incense in them 
 before the Lord to-morrow : and it shall be that the

 'The rebellion of Korah, &c 
 
 8 And Moses said unto Korah, Hear, I pray you 
 ye sons of Levi: 
 
 9 Seemcth it but *a small thing unto you, that the 
 God of Israel hath 'separated you from the congre- 
 gation of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do 
 the service of the tabernacle of the Lord, and to 
 stand before the congregation to minister unto them ? 
 
 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 company 
 are gathered together against the Lord : m and what 
 is Aaron, that ye murmur against him ? 
 
 12 IT And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, 
 the sons of Eliab : which said, We will not come up : 
 
 13 "Is it a small thing that thou hast brought us 
 up out of a land that floweth with milk and honey, 
 to kill us in the wilderness, except thou "make 
 thyself altogether a prince over us ? 
 
 14 Moreover, thou hast not brought us into /'a 
 land that floweth with milk and honey, or given us 
 inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou fput 
 out the eyes of these men ? we will not come up. 
 
 15 And Moses was very wroth, and said unto the 
 Lord, 'Respect not thou their offering: r I have not 
 taken one ass from them, neither have I hurt one 
 of them. 
 
 16 And Moses said unto Korah, 'Be thou and all 
 thy company 'before the Lord, thou, and they, and 
 Aaron, to-morrow : 
 
 17 And take every man his censer, and put incense 
 in them, and bring ye before the Lord every man 
 his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; thou also 
 and Aaron each of you his censer. 
 
 18 And they took every man his censer, and put 
 fire in them, and laid incense thereon, and stood in 
 the door of the 
 Moses and Aaron 
 
 19 And Korah gathered all the congregation 
 against them unto the door of the tabernacle of the 
 congregation : and " the glory of the Lord appeared 
 unto all the congregation. 
 
 20 And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto 
 Aaron, saying, 
 
 21 * Separate yourselves from among this congre- 
 gation, that I may y consume them in a moment. 
 
 22 And they z fell upon their faces, and said, O God, 
 "the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, 
 and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation ? 
 
 23 UAnd the Lord spake unto Moses, sa}dng, 
 
 24 Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you 
 up from about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and 
 Abiram. 
 
 25 And Moses rose up, and went unto Dathan 
 and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him. 
 
 26 And he spake unto the congregation, saying, 
 b Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked 
 men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be con- 
 sumed in all their sins. 
 
 27 So they gat up from the tabernacle 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 Hereby ye shall know that 
 the Lord hath sent me to do all these works ; for 1 
 have not done them "of mine own mind.

 or if they be e visited after the visitation of all men; 
 then the Lord hath not sent me. 
 
 30 But if the Lord f make ^a new thing, and the 
 earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with 
 all that appertain unto them, and they ff go down 
 quick into the pit; then ye shall understand that 
 tnese men have provoked the Lord. 
 
 81 If ''And it came to pass, as he had made an end 
 of speaking all these words, that the ground clave 
 asunder that was under them : 
 
 32 And the earth opened her mouth, and swal- 
 lowed them up, and their houses, and 'all the men 
 that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods. 
 
 33 They, and all that appertained to them, went 
 down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon 
 them: and they perished from among the congregation. 
 
 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 fc came out a fire from the Lord, and 
 consumed 'the two hundred and fifty men that of- 
 fered incense. 
 
 36 HAnd the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 
 
 37 Speak unto 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 make them broad plates for a 
 covering of the altar : for they offered them before 
 the Lord, therefore they are hallowed : "and they 
 shall be a sign unto the children of Israel. 
 
 39 And Eleazar the priest took the brazen censers, 
 wherewith they that were burnt had offered; and they 
 were made broad plates for a covering of the altar: 
 
 40 To be a memorial unto the children of Israel, 
 p that no stranger, which is not of the seed of Aaron, 
 come near to offer incense before the Lord; that he 
 be not as Korah, and as his company : as the Lord 
 said to him by the hand of Moses. 
 
 41 HBut on the morrow 9 all the congregation of 
 the children of Israel murmured against Moses and 
 against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the people of 
 the Lord. 
 
 42 And it came to pass when the congregation 
 was gathered against Moses and against Aaron, that 
 they looked toward the tabernacle of the congrega- 
 tion: and behold, r the cloud covered it, and 'the 
 glory of the Lord appeared. 
 
 43 And Moses and Aaron came before the taber- 
 nacle of the congregation. 
 
 44 IF And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 
 
 45 'Get you up from among this congregation, 
 that I may consume them as in a moment. And 
 "they fell upon their faces. 
 
 4o HAnd Moses said unto Aaron, Take a censer, 
 and put fire therein from off the altar, and put on 
 incense, and go quickly unto the congregation, and 
 make an atonement for them: ^for there is wrath 
 gone out from the Lord ; the plague is begun. 
 
 47 And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and 
 ran into the midst of the congregation; and behold, 
 the plague was begun among the people : and he put 
 on mcense, and made an atonement for the people. 
 
 48 And he stood between the dead and the living; 
 and the plague was stayed. 
 
 49 Now they that died in the plague Avere four- 
 teen thousand and seven hundred, beside them that 
 Jied about the matter of Korah.

 Aaron's rod among all the rod* of Ike tribes only flourvshctk. 
 
 AND the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 
 2 Speak unto 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 every 
 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 tabernacle 
 of the congregation before the testimony, "where 1 
 will meet with you. 
 
 5 And it shall come to pass, that the man's rod 
 'whom I shall choose shall blossom : and I will make 
 to cease from me the murmurings of the children 
 of Israel, c whereby they murmur against you. 
 
 6 HAnd Moses spake unto the children of Israel, 
 and every one of their princes gave him fa rod 
 apiece, for each prince one, according to their 
 father's houses, even twelve rods : and the rod of 
 Aaron was among their rods. 
 
 7 And Moses laid up the rods before the Lord 
 in ''the tabernacle 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 Louse of Levi was budded, 
 and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and 
 yielded almonds. 
 
 9 And Moses brought out all the rods from before 
 the Lord unto all the children of Israel: and they 
 looked, and took every man his rod. 
 
 10 IT And the Lord said unto Moses, Bring "Aaron's 
 rod again before the testimony, to be kept •'Tor a 
 token against the f rebels; *and thou shalt quite take 
 away their murmurings from me, that they die not. 
 
 11 And Moses did so: as the Lord commanded 
 him, so did he. 
 
 12 And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, 
 saying, Behold, we die, Ave perish, we all perish. 
 
 13 A Whosoever cometh any thing near unto the 
 tabernacle of the Lord shall die : shall we be con- 
 sumed Avith dying?

 with thee shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood. 
 
 2 And thy brethren also of the tribe of Levi,

 4 And they shall be joined unto thee, and keep

 and the charge of the altar; 'that there be no wrath

 6 And I, behold, I have '" taken your brethren the 
 Levites from among the children of Israel: "to you 
 ■!//<•// a.^-j given us a gift for the Lord, to do the ser- 
 vice of the tabernacle of the congregation. 
 
 7 Theretore "thou and thy sons with thee shall keep 
 your priest's office for every thing of the altar, and 
 p within the vail; and ye shall serve: I have given 
 your priest's office unto you as a service of gift : and 
 the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death. 
 
 8 IT And the Lord spake unto Aaron, Behold, *I 
 also have given thee the charge of mine heave-offer- 
 ings of all the hallowed things of the children of Is- 
 rael; unto thee have I given them 'by reason of the 
 anointing, and to thy sons, by an ordinance for ever. 
 
 This shall be thine of the most holy things re- 
 served from the fire : every oblation of theirs, every 
 'meat-offering of theirs, and every ' sin-offering of 
 theirs, and every "trespass-offering of theirs, wnich 
 they shall render unto 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 unto thee. 
 
 11 And this is thine; ,y the heave-offering of their 
 gift, with all the wave-offerings of the children of 
 Israel : I have given them unto z thee, and to thy sons, 
 and to thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever : 
 "every one that is clean in thy house shall eat of it. 
 
 12 'All the fbest of the oil, and all the best of 
 the wine and of the wheat, c the first-fruits of them 
 which they shall offer unto the Lord, them have I 
 given thee. 
 
 13 And whatsoever is first ripe in the land, d which 
 they shall bring unto the Lord, shall be thine ; e every 
 one that is clean in thine house shall eat of it. 
 
 14 f Every thing devoted in Israel shall be thine. 
 
 15 Every thing that openeth *the matrix in all 
 flesh, which they bring unto the Lord, whether it be 
 of men or beasts, shall be thine: nevertheless, Hhe 
 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, ; according to thine 
 estimation, for the money of five shekels, after the 
 shekel of the sanctuary, * which is twenty gerahs. 
 
 17 But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of 
 a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou shalt not re- 
 deem ; they are holy : '"thou shalt sprinkle their blood 
 upon the altar, and shalt burn their fat for an offer- 
 ing made by fire, for a sweet savour unto the Lord. 
 
 18 And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the 
 "wave-breast and as the right shoulder are thine. 
 
 19 "All the heave-offermgs of the holy things, 
 which the children of Israel offer unto the Lord, 
 have I given thee, and thy sons and thy daughters 
 with thee, by a statute for ever : ''it is a covenant of 
 salt for ever before the Lord unto thee and to thy 
 seed with thee. 
 
 20 HAnd the Lord spake unto Aaron, Thou shalt 
 have no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou 
 have any part among them: 9 I am thy part and 
 thine inheritance among the children of Israel. 
 
 21 And behold, r I have given the children of Levi 
 all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their 
 service which they serve, even 'the service of the 
 tabernacle of the congregation.

 Of the heave-offering to the priests, rfc. 
 
 come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, "lest 
 they bear sin, f and die. 
 
 23 x But the Levites shall do the service of the 
 tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall bear 
 their iniquity : it shall be a statute for ever through- 
 out your generations, that among the children of 
 Israel they have no inheritance. 
 
 24 y But the tithes of the children of Israel, which 
 they offer as an heave-offering unto the Lord, I have 
 given to the Levites to inherit : therefore I have said 
 unto them, z Among the children of Israel they shall 
 have no inheritance. 
 
 25 IT And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 
 
 26 Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto 
 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 an heave-offering 
 of it for the Lord, even "a tenth fart of the tithe. 
 
 27 'And this your heave-offering shall be reckoned 
 unto you, as though it were the corn of the threshing- 
 floor, and as the fulness of the wine-press. 
 
 28 Thus ye also shall offer an heave-offering 
 unto the Lord of all your tithes which ye receive of 
 the children of Israel; and ye shall give thereof the 
 Lord's heave-offering to Aaron the priest. 
 
 29 Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every heave- 
 offering of the Lord, of all the fbest thereof, even 
 the hallowed part thereof out of it. 
 
 30 Therefore thou shalt say unto them, When ye 
 have heaved the best thereof from it, c then it shall 
 be counted unto 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 ^your reward for youi 
 service in the tabernacle of the congregation. 
 
 32 And ye shall e bear no sin by reason of it, when 
 ye have heaved from it the best of it: neither shall 
 ye •''pollute the holy things of the children of Israel, 
 
 lest ye die.

 The water of separation made of the ashes of a red heifer. 
 
 AND the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, 
 saying, 
 
 2 This is the ordinance of the law which the Lord 
 hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of 
 Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without 
 spot, wherein is no blemish, "and upon which never 
 came yoke : 
 
 3 And ye shall give her unto 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 of her blood 
 with his finger, and c sprinkle of her blood directly 
 before the tabernacle of the congregation seven 
 times : 
 
 5 And one shall burn the heifer in his sight; ''her 
 skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, 
 shall he burn : 
 
 6 And the priest shall take e cedar-wood, and hys- 
 sop, and scarlet, and cast it into the midst of the 
 burning of the heifer. 
 
 7 •''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. 
 
 8 And he that burnetii her shall wash his clothes 
 in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be 
 unclean until the even 
 
j'.'ic law of purification. 
 
 9 And a man that, is clean shall! gather up A 'the 
 ashes of the heifer, and lay ttiem 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 separation : it is a purification lor sin. 
 
 10 And he that gathereth the ashes of the heifer 
 shall wash his clothes, and he unclean until the 
 even : and it shall be unto the children of Israel, and 
 unto the stranger that sojourneth among them, for 
 a statute for ever. 
 
 11 If 'He that toucheth the dead body of any f man 
 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 Whosoever toucheth the dead body of any 
 man that is dead, and purifieth not himself, 'defiletn 
 the tabernacle of the Lord; and that soul shall be 
 cut off 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 lhan 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 cover- 
 ing bound upon it, is unclean. 
 
 16 And p whosoever 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 heifer of purification for sin, and 
 f miming w y ater shall be put thereto in a vessel: 
 
 18 And a clean person shall take 'hyssop, and dip 
 it in the water, and sprinkle it upon the tent, and 
 upon all the vessels, and upon the persons that were 
 there, and upon him that touched a bone, or one slain, 
 or one dead, or a grave : 
 
 19 And the clean person shall sprinkle upon the 
 unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day : 
 ■and on the seventh day he shall purify himself, and 
 wash his clothes, and "bathe himself in water, and 
 shall be clean at even. 
 
 20 But the man that shall be unclean, and shall 
 not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from 
 among the congregation, because he hath 'defiled 
 the sanctuary of the Lord : the water of separation 
 hath not been sprinkled upon him; he is unclean. 
 
 21 And it shall be a perpetual statute unto them, 
 that he that sprinkleth the water of separation shall 
 wash his clothes; and he that toucheth the water 
 of separation shall be unclean until even. 
 
 22 And "whatsoever the unclean person toucheth 
 shall be unclean; and 'the soul that toucheth it shall 
 be unclean until even.

 4 And ''why have ye brought up the congregation 
 of the Lord into this wilderness, that we and our 
 cattle should die there? 
 
 5 And wherefore have ye made us to come up out 
 of Egypt, to bring us unto this evil place ? it is no 
 place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pome- 
 granates; neither is there any water to drink. 
 
 G And Moses and Aaron went from the presence 
 of the assembly unto the door of the tabernacle of 
 the congregation, and ''they fell upon their faces, 
 and 'the glory of the Lord appeared unto them 
 
 7 If And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 
 
 8 *Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly 
 together, thou and Aaron thy brother, and speak 
 ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give 
 forth his water, and 'thou shalt bring forth to them 
 water out of the rock : so thou shalt give the con- 
 gregation and their beasts drink. 
 
 9 And Moses took the rod "'from before the Lord. 
 as he commanded him. 
 
 10 And Moses and Aaron gathered the congrega- 
 tion together before the rock, and he said unto 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. 
 
 12 If And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron, 
 Because-" ye believed me not, to 'sanctify me in the 
 eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not 
 bring this congregation into the land which I have 
 given them. 
 
 13 r This is the water of ilMeribah; because the 
 children of Israel strove with the Lord, and he was 
 sanctified in them. 
 
 14 If 'And Moses sent messengers from Kadesl 
 unto the king of Edom, 'Thus saith thy brothei 
 Israel, Thou knowest all the travail that hath f be- 
 fallen us : 
 
 15 "How our fathers w T ent down into Egypt, 
 and we have dwelt in Egypt a long time; *and the 
 
 Egyptians vexed us, and our fathers : 
 
 16 And ''when we cried unto the Lord, 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 tne 
 vineyards, neither will we drink o/'the water of the 
 wells : we will go by the king's hiqh-w&y, we will 
 not turn to the right hand nor to the left, until we 
 have passed thy borders. 
 
 18 And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass 
 by me, lest I come out against thee with the sword. 
 
 19 And the children of Israel said unto him, We 
 will go by the highway : 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 And he said, 'Thou shalt not go through. And 
 Edom came out against him with much people, and 
 with a strong hand. 
 
 21 Thus Edom ''refused to give Israel passage 
 through his border: wherefore Israel 'turned away 
 from him.

 congregation, journeyed from •'Kadesh, *and cau)*>

 he shall not enter into the land which I have given

 25 *Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring 
 chem up unto mount Hor : 
 
 26 And strip Aaron of his garments, and put 
 them upon Eleazar his son: and Aaron shall be 
 gathered unto his people, and shall die there. 
 
 27 And Moses did as the Loud commanded: and 
 they went up into mount Hor in the sight of all 
 the congregation. 
 
 28 'And Moses strinped Aaron of his garments, 
 and put them upon Eleazar his son; and "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 mourned for Aaron "thirty days,

 well whereof the Lord spake unto Moses, Gather 
 the people together, and 1 will give them water. 
 
 17 If 1 ' Then Israel sang this song, f Spring up, O 
 well ; j| sing ye unto it : 
 
 18 The princes digged the well, the nobles of the 
 people digged it, by the direction of Hhe law 
 with their staves. And from the wilderness 
 tvent to Mattanah : 
 
 19 And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from 
 Nahaliel to Bamoth : 
 
 20 And from Bamoth in the valley, that is in the 
 | country of Moab, to the top of || Pisgah, which 
 looketh " toward || Jeshimon. 
 
 21 IF And 'Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king 
 of the Amorites, saying, 
 
 22 c 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 well : bid we will go along 
 by the king's high-wny, until we be past thy borders. 
 
 23 ''And Sifion would not sutler Israel to pass 
 through his border : but Sihon gathered all his peo- 
 ple together, and went out against Israel into the 
 wilderness: c and he came to Jahaz, and fought 
 against Israel : 
 
 24 And ■> Israel smote him with the edge of the 
 sword, and possessed his land from Arnon unto Jah- 
 bok, even unto the children of Ammon : for the bor- 
 der of the children of Ammon was strong. 
 
 25 And Israel took all these cities: and Israel 
 dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, 
 and in all the f villages 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 unto 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 Heshbon, a flame 
 from the city of Sihon: it hath consumed 'Ar of 
 Moab, and the lords of the high places of Arnon. 
 
 29 Wo to thee, Moab ! thou art undone, O people 
 of ' Chemosh : he hath given his sons that escaped, 
 and his daughters, into captivity unto Sihon king 
 of the Amorites. 
 
 30 We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished 
 even *unto Dibon, and we have laid them waste even 
 unto Nophah, which reacheth unto Medeba. 
 
 31 IF Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites 
 
 32 And Moses sent to spy out m Jazer, and they 
 took the villages thereof, and drove out the Amorites 
 that were there. 
 
 -33 IF "And they turned and went up by the way of Ba- 
 shan: and Og the king of Bashan went out apinst 
 them, he, and all his people, to the battle "at Edrei. 
 34 And the Lord said unto Moses, *>Fear him not: 
 for I have delivered him into thy hand, and all his peo- 
 ple, and his land; and ''thou shalt do to him aa 'hou

 2 Bilak's message for Balaam. 22 An angel would have slain him, if 
 his ass had not saved him. 
 
 AND "the children of Israel set forward, and 
 pitched in the plains of Moab on this side Jor- 
 dan by Jericho. 
 
 2 1fAnd * Balak the son of Zippor saw all that 
 Israel had done to the Amorites. 
 
 3 And c Moab was sore afraid of the people, be- 
 cause they were many : and Moab was distressed be- 
 cause of the children of Israel. 
 
 4 And Moab said unto ''the elders of Midian, Now 
 shall this company lick up all that arc 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 unto Balaam 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: be- 
 hold, they cover the fface of the earth, and they 
 abide over against me : 
 
 6 Come now therefore, I pray thee, s curse me 
 this people ; for they are too mighty for me : perad- 
 venture I shall prevail, that we may smite them, 
 and that I may drive them out of the land : for I wot 
 that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom 
 thou cursest is cursed. 
 
 7 And the elders of Moab and the elders of Mi- 
 dian departed with A the rewards of divination in 
 their hand ; and they came unto Balaam, and spake 
 unto him the words of Balak. 
 
 8 And he said unto them, 'Lodge here this night, 
 and I will bring you word again, as the Lord shall 
 speak unto me: and the princes of Moab abode 
 with Balaam. 
 
 9 *And God came unto Balaam, and said, What 
 nen are these with thee?* 
 
 10 And Balaam said unto God, Balak the son of 
 Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me, saying, 
 
 11 Behold, there is a people come out of Egypt, 
 which covereth the face of the earth : come now, 
 curse me them; perad venture fl shall be able to 
 overcome them, and drive them out. 
 
 12 And God said unto 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 
 unto the princes of Balak, Get you into your land : 
 for the Lord refuseth to give me leave to go with you. 
 
 14 And the princes of Moab rose up, and they 
 went unto Balak, and said, Balaam refuseth to 
 come with us. 
 
 15 HAnd Balak sent yet again princes, more, 
 and more honourable than they. 
 
 16 And they came to Balaam, and said to him, 
 Thus saith Balak the son of Zippor, \ Let nothing, I 
 pray thee, hinder thee from coming unto me : 
 
 17 For 1 will promote thee unto very great honour, 
 and I will do whatsoever thou say est unto me : "'come 
 therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people. 
 
 18 And Balaam answered and said unto the ser- 
 vants of Balak, "If Balak would give me his house

 full of silver and gold, "I cannot go beyond the word 
 of the Lord my God, to do less or more. 
 
 19 Now therefore, I pray you, starry ye also here 
 this night, that I may know what the Lord will say 
 unto me more. 
 
 20 '-And God came unto Balaam at night, and said 
 unto him. If the men come to call thee, rise up, ami 
 go with them; but 'yet the word which 1 shall say 
 unto thee, that shalt thou do. 
 
 21 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and sad 
 died his ass, and went with the princes of Moab. 
 
 22 IF And God's anger was kindled because he 
 went: 'and the angel of the Lord 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 the Lord stand- 
 ing 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 tun.' 
 her into the way. 
 
 24 But the angel of the Lord stood in a path Oi 
 the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a waL* 
 on that side. 
 
 25 And when the ass saw the angel of the Lord, 
 she thrust herself unto the wall, and crushed Ba- 
 laam's foot against the wall : and he smote her again. 
 
 26 And the angel of the Lord 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 the Lord, 
 she fell down under Balaam : and Balaam's anger 
 was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff. 
 
 28 And the Lord "opened the mouth of the ass, 
 and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto 
 thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times? 
 
 29 And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou 
 hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in 
 mine hand, x for now Avould I kill thee. 
 
 30 y And the ass said unto Balaam, Am not I thine 
 ass, fupon which thou hast ridden || ever since I was 
 thine unto this day? was I ever wont to do so unto 
 thee? And he said, Nay. 
 
 31 Then the Lord x opened the eyes of Balaam, 
 and he saw the angel of the Lord standing in the 
 way, and his sword drawn in his hand : and he "bow- 
 ed down his head, and || fell rlat on his face. 
 
 32 And the angel of the Lord said unto him, 
 Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three 
 times? behold, I went out fto withstand thee, be- 
 cause thy way is ' perverse before me : 
 
 33 And the ass saw me, and turned from me these 
 three times : unless she had turned from me, surely 
 now also I had slain thee, and saved her alive. 
 
 34 And Balaam said unto the angel of the Lord. 
 I have sinned; fori knew not that thou stoodesi 
 
 in the way against me : now therefore, if it f dis- 
 please thee, I will get me back again. 
 
 35 And the angel of the Lord said unto Balaam. 
 Go with the men: ''but only the word that I shall 
 speak unto thee, that thou shalt speak : so Balaarr 
 went with the princes of Balak. 
 
 36 H And when Balak heard that Balaam was come. 
 f he went out. to meet him unto a city of Moab/which is. 
 in the border of Arnon, which is in the utmost coast

 MS And Balaam said unto Balak, Lo, 1 am como 
 unto thee: have 1 now any power at all to say any 
 filing? ''the -word that God putteth in my mouth, 
 that shall I speak. 
 
 39 And Balaam went with Balak, and they came 
 unto || Kirjath-huzoth. 
 
 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 Ba- 
 lak took Balaam, and brought him up into the 'high 
 places of Baal, that thence he might see the utmost 
 part of the people.

 1, 13, 28 Balak' s sacrifice. 7. 18 Balaam's parable. 
 
 AND Balaam said unto 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 every altar a bullock 
 and a ram. 
 
 3 And Balaam said unto Balak, "Stand by thy 
 burnt-offering, and I will go ; peradventure the Lord 
 will come ''to meet me : and whatsoever he sheweth 
 me I will tell thee. And || he went to an high place. 
 
 4 e And God met Balaam: and he said unto him, 
 I have prepared seven altars, and I have offered 
 upon every altar a bullock and a ram. 
 
 5 And the Lord 'put a word in Balaam's mouth, and 
 said, Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak. 
 
 6 And he returned unto him, and lo, he stood by 
 his burnt-sacrifice, he, and all the princes of Moab. 
 
 7 And he ^took up his parable, and said, Balak the 
 king of Moab hath brought me from Aram, out of 
 the mountains of the east, saying, ''Come, curse me 
 Jacob, and come, 'defy Israel. 
 
 8 *How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed ? 
 or how shall I defy, zvhom the Lord hath not defied ? 
 
 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 '"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 fnie die "the 
 death of the righteous, and let my last end be like 
 his! 
 
 11 And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou 
 done unto me? ''I took thee to curse mine enemies, 
 and behold, thou hast blessed them altogether. 
 
 12 And he answered and said, ''Must I not take 
 heed to speak that which the Lord hath put in my 
 mouth? 
 
 13 And Balak said unto him, Come, I pray thee, 
 with me unto another place, from whence thou mayest 
 see them: thou shalt see but the utmost part of 
 them, and shalt not see them all: and curse me 
 them from thence. 
 
 14 IT And he brought him into the field of Zophim, 
 to the top of || Pisgah, 'and built seven altars, and 
 offered a bullock and a ram on every altar. 
 
 15 And he said unto Balak, Stand here by. thy 
 burnt-offering, while I meet the LORD yonder. 
 
 16 And the Lord met Balaam, and 'put a word 
 in his mouth, and said, Go again unto 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 unto nim, What hath the 
 Lord spoken?

 Told not I thee, saying, *'A11 that the Lord speaketh, 
 that I must do? 
 
 27 II And Balak said unto Balaam, '' Come, I pray 
 thee, I will bring thee unto another place; perad-

 1 Balaam prophesielh the happiness of Israel. 15 He prophesielh of t.ht 
 
 Star of Jacob. 
 
 AND when Balaam saw that it pleased the Lord 
 to bless Israel, he went not, as at "other times, 
 fto seek for enchantments, but he set his face 
 toward the wilderness. 
 
 2 And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Is- 
 rael 'abiding in his tents according to their tribes, and 
 f 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 f whose eyes 
 are open hath said : 
 
 4 He hath said, which heard the words of God, 
 which saw the vision of the Almighty, e falling into 
 a trance, but having his eyes open : 
 
 5 How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, and thy 
 tabernacles, O Israel! 
 
 6 As the valleys are they spread forth, as gar- 
 dens by the river s side, -/'as the trees of lign-aloes 
 8 which the Lord hath planted, and as cedar-trees 
 beside the waters. 
 
 7 He shall pour the water out of his buckets, 
 and his seed shall be ''in many waters, and his kins 
 shall be higher than 'Agag, and his * kingdom shall 
 be exalted. 
 
 8 'God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath

 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 unto Balaam, *1 called thee to curse 
 mine enemies, and behold, thou hast altogether 
 blessed them these three times. 
 
 11 Therefore now flee thou to thy place: 'I 
 thought to promote thee unto great honour; but 
 lo, the Lord hath kept thee back from honour. 
 
 12 And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also

 Id "If Balak would give me his house full of silver 
 and gold, I cannot go beyond the commandment of 
 the Lord, to do either good or bad of mine own

 whose eyes are open hath said : 
 
 16 He hath said, which heard the words of God,

 20 IIAnd when he looked on Amalek, he took up his

 22 Nevertheless, fthe Kenite shall be wasted,

 5 And Moses said unto 'the judges of Israel, *Slav 
 
 ye every one his men that were joined unto Baal-peor. 
 
 G IT And, behold, one of the children of Israel 
 
 came and brought unto 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 tabernacle of 
 the congregation. 
 
 7 And "'when Phinehas,"theson of Eleazar, the son 
 of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from among 
 the congregation, and took a javelin 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 woman through her belly: So "the 
 plague was stayed from the children of Israel. 
 
 9 And ''those that died in the plague were twenty 
 and four thousand. 
 
 10 HAnd the Lord spake unto 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 was zealous ffor 
 my sake among them) that I consumed not the 
 children of Israel in 'my jealousy. 
 
 12 Wherefore say, 'Behold, 1 give unto him my 
 covenant of 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 y made an 
 atonement for the children of Israel. 
 
 14 Now the name of the Israelite that was slain, 
 even that Avas slain with the Midianitish woman, 
 was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a f chief 
 house among the Simeonites. 
 
 15 And the name of the Midianitish woman that 
 was slain ivas Cozbi, the daughter of z Zur ; he was 
 head over a people, and of a chief house in Midian 
 
 16 II And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 
 
 17 "Vex the Midianites and smite them: 
 
 18 For they vex you with their * wiles, where- 
 with they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, 
 and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a prince 
 of Midian, their sister, which was slain in the day 
 of the plague for Peor's sake.

 12 HAnd the Lord said unto Moses, ''Get thee 
 up into this mount Abarim, and see the land which 
 I have given unto the children of Israel. 
 
 13 And when thou hast seen it, thou also 'shalt 
 be gathered unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother

 15 II And Moses spake unto the Lord, saying, 
 
 16 Let the Lord, "'the God of the spirits of all 
 flesh, set a man over the congregation, 
 
 17 "Which may go out before them, and which 
 may go in before them, and which may lead them out, 
 and which may bring them in ; that the congregation 
 of the Lord be not "as sheep which have no shepherd.

 Joshua the son of Nun, a man ''in whom is the 
 spirit, and 9 lay thine hand upon him ; 
 
 19 And set him before Eleazar the priest, and 
 before all the congregation : and r give him a charge

 3 If a woman also vow a vow unto the Lord, 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 her soul, and her father 
 shall hold his peace at her; then all her vows shall 
 stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound 
 her soul 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 her soul shall stand ; 
 and the Lord shall forgive her, because her father 
 disallowed her. 
 
 6 And if she had at all an husband when f she 
 vowed, or uttered aught out of her lips, wherewith 
 she bound her soul : 
 
 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 
 her soul shall stand. 
 
 8 But if her husband e disallowed 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 her soul, of none effect ; 
 and the Lord shall forgive her. 
 
 9 But every vow of a widow, and of her that is 
 divorced, wherewith they have bound their souls, 
 shall stand against her. 
 
 10 And if she vowed in her husband's house, or 
 bound her soul by a bond with an oath ; 
 
 11 And her husband heard it, and held his peace 
 at her, and disallowed her not: then all her vows 
 shall stand, and every bond wherewith she bound 
 her soul shall stand. 
 
 12 But if her husband hath utterly made them 
 void on the day he heard them; then whatsoever 
 proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or 
 concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand : 
 her husband hath made them void; and the Lord 
 shall forgive her. 
 
 13 Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict 
 the soul, her husband may establish it, or her hus- 
 band 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 hej 
 in the day that he heard them. 
 
 15 But if he shall any ways make them void 
 after that he hath heard them; then he shall bear 
 her iniquity. 
 
 16 These are the statutes which the Lord com- 
 manded Moses between a man and his wife, between 
 the father and his daughter, being yet in her youth 
 in her fathers house. 
 
 CHAP. XXXI. 
 
 The Midianites are spoiled, and Balaam slain. 
 
 AND the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 
 2 "Avenge the children of Israel of the Midi- 
 anites : afterward shalt thou b be gathered unto thy 
 people. 
 
 3 And Moses spake unto the people, saying, 
 Arm some of yourselves unto the war, and let them 
 go against the Midianites, and avenge the Lord of 
 Midian. 
 
 4 f Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the 
 tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war. 
 
 5 So there were delivered out of the thousands of 
 
 in 
 
The Midianitcs spoiled. 
 
 NUMBERS 
 
 Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand 
 armed for war. 
 
 6 And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand 
 of every tribe, them and Phinchas the son of Eleazar 
 the priest, to the war, with the holy instruments, 
 and 'the trumpets to blow in his hand. 
 
 7 Aud they warred against the Midianites, as the 
 Loud commanded Moses ; and ''they slew all the 'males. 
 
 8 And they slew the kings of Midian, beside the 
 est of tnem that were slain ; namely , J Evi, and Rekem, 
 
 and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian: 
 * .Balaam 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 
 trie 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 goodly 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 snoil unto Moses and Eleazar the priest, 
 and unto the congregation of the children of Israel, 
 unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by 
 Jordan near Jericho. 
 
 13 IF 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 wroth with the officers of the 
 host, with the captains over thousands, and captains 
 over hundreds, which came from the f battle. 
 
 15 And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved 
 all the women alive ? 
 
 16 Behold, k these caused the children of Israel, 
 through the 'counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass 
 against the Lord in the matter of Peor, and '"there 
 was a plague among the congregation of the Lord. 
 
 17 Now therefore "kill every male among the 
 little ones, and kill every woman that hath known 
 man by lying with fhim. 
 
 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 
 clays: whosoever hath killed any person, and p who- 
 soever hath touched any slain, purify both your- 
 selves and your captives on the third day, and on 
 the seventh day. 
 
 20 And purify all your raiment, and all f that is 
 made of skins, and all work of goats' hair, and all 
 things made of wood. 
 
 21 IT And Eleazar the priest said unto the men 
 of war which went to the battle, This is the ordinance 
 of the law which the Lord 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 2:0 through the fire, and it shall be clean : 
 nevertheless it shall be purified 'with the Avater of 
 separation : and all that abideth not the fire ye shall 
 make go through the water. 
 
 24 r And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh 
 day, and ye shall be clean, and afterward ye shall 
 come into the camp. 
 
 25 IT And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 
 
 26 Take the sum of the prey f that was taken, 
 
 both of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the 
 
 priest, and the chief fathers of the congregation:

 Tlte sum of the prey, and division of it 
 
 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 unto the Lord of the men 
 of war which went out to battle: 'one soul 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 unto Eleazai 
 the priest, for an heave-offering of the Lord. 
 
 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 || flocks, of all man- 
 ner of beasts, and give them unto the Levites, * which 
 keep the charge of the tabernacle of the Lord. 
 
 31 And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the 
 Lord commanded Moses. 
 
 32 And the booty, being the rest of the prey which 
 the men of war had caught, was six hundred thou- 
 sand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep, 
 
 33 And three score 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 number three hundreu 
 thousand and seven and thirty thousand and five 
 hundred sheep: 
 
 37 And the Lord's tribute of the sheep was six 
 hundred and threescore and fifteen. 
 
 38 And the beeves were thirty and six thousand ; of 
 which the Lord's tribute was threescore and twelve. 
 
 39 And the asses tvere thirty thousand and five 
 hundred; of which the- Lord's tribute was three- 
 score and one. 
 
 40 And the persons were sixteen thousand, ot 
 which the Lord's tribute was thirty and two persons 
 
 41 And Moses gave the tribute, which was the 
 Lord's heave-offering, unto Eleazar the priest, "as • 
 the Lord commanded Moses. 
 
 42 And of the children of Israel's half, which 
 Moses divided from the men that warred, 
 
 43 (Now the half that pertained unto the congre- 
 gation was three hundred thousand and thirty thou- 
 sand 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 *of the children of Israel's half, Moses 
 took one portion of fifty, both of man and of beast, 
 and gave them unto tne Levites, which kept the 
 charge of the tabernacle of the Lord; as the Lord 
 commanded Moses. 
 
 48 HAnd the officers which were over thousands 
 of the host, the captains of thousands, and captains 
 of hundreds, came near unto Moses : 
 
 49 And they said unto Moses, Thy servants have 
 taken the sum of the men of war which are under 
 our f charge, and there lacketh not one man of us. 
 
 50 We nave therefore brought an oblation for the 
 Lord, what every man hath f gotten, of jewels of gold, 
 chains, and bracelets, rings, ear-rings, and tablets, "to 
 make an atonement for our souls before the Lord. 
 
 51 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the 
 gold of them, even all wrought jewels. 
 
 52 And all the gold of the (offering that they 
 offered up to the Lord, of the captains of thousands ■ 
 and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thou-

 CHAR XXXII. 
 
 • The Reubenitet and Gadiles sue for their inheritance on that side Jordan. 
 39 They conquer it. 
 
 VTOW the children of Reuben and the children 
 
 It of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle: 
 
 and when they saw the land of " Jazer, 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 spake unto Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, 
 and unto the princes of the congregation, saying, 
 
 3 Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and "Nimrah, 
 and Heshbon, and Elealch, and '' Shebam, and Nebo, 
 and d Beon, 
 
 4 Even the country 'which the Lord smote before 
 the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and 
 thy servants have cattle : 
 
 5 Wherefore, said they, if we have found grace 
 in thy sight, let this land be given unto thy servants 
 for a possession, and bring us not over Jordan. 
 
 6 IT And Moses said unto the children of Gad 
 and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren 
 go to war, and shall ye sit here ? 
 
 7 And wherefore f discourage ye the heart of 
 the children of Israel from going over into the land 
 which the Lord, hath given them? 
 
 8 Thus did your fathers, Avhen I sent them from 
 Kadesh-barnea *to see the land. 
 
 9 For *when they went up unto the valley of 
 Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the 
 heart of the children of Israel, that they should not 
 go into the land which the Lord had given them. 
 
 10 'And the Lord's anger was kindled the same 
 time, and he sware, saying, 
 
 11 Surely none of the men that came up out of 
 Egypt, *from twenty years old and upward, shall 
 see the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto 
 Isaac, and unto Jacob; because 'they have not 
 f wholly followed me : 
 
 12 Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kene- 
 zite, and Joshua the son of Nun: '"for they have 
 wholly followed the Lord. 
 
 13 And the Lord's anger was kindled against 
 Israel, and he made them " wander in the wilderness 
 forty years, until "all the generation that had done 
 evil in the sight of the Lord was consumed. 
 
 14 And behold, ye are risen upjuu your fathers' 
 stead, an increase of sinful men, *to augment yet 
 the p fierce anger of the Lord toward Israel. 
 
 15 For if ye 'turn away from after him, he will 
 yet again leave them in the wilderness; and ye 
 shall destroy all this people. 
 
 16 IT And they came near unto him, and said, 
 We will build sheep-folds here for our cattle, and 
 cities for our little ones : 
 
 17 But r we ourselves will go ready armed before 
 the children of Israel, until we have brought them 
 unto their place : and our little ones shall dwell in 
 the fenced cities, because of the inhabitants of the 
 land. 
 
 18 s We will not return unto our houses, until

 the children of Israel have inherited every man his 
 inheritance. 
 
 19 For we will not inherit with them on yonder 
 side Jordan, or forward; 'because our inheritance 
 
 is fallen to us on this side Jordan eastward. 
 
 20 If And "Moses said unto them, If ye will do tliia 
 th.ng, if ye will go armed before the Lord to war. 
 
 21 And will go all of you armed over Jordan 
 before the Lord, until he "hath driven out his ene- 
 mies from before hiin. 
 
 22 And x the land be subdued before the Lord: 
 then afterward y ye shall return, and be guiltless 
 before the Lord, and before Israel; and x this land 
 shall be your possession before the Lord. 
 
 23 But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have 
 sinned against the Lord: and be sure "your sin will 
 find you out. 
 
 24 'Build you cities for your little ones, and 
 folds for your sheep ; and do that which hath pro- 
 ceeded out of your mouth. 
 
 25 And the children of Gad and the children of 
 Reuben spake unto Moses, saying, Thy servants 
 will do as my lord commandeth. 
 
 26 c 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 the Lord to battle, as my 
 lord saith. 
 
 28 So e concerning them Moses commanded Elea- 
 zar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the 
 chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel : 
 
 29 And Moses said unto them, If the children of 
 Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you 
 over Jordan, every man armed to battle, before the 
 Lord, 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 children of 
 Reuben answered, saying, As the Lord hath said 
 unto thy servants, so will we do. 
 
 32 We will pass over armed before the Lord into 
 the land of Canaan, that 'the possession of our in- 
 heritance on this side Jordan may be ours. 
 
 33 And-TMoses gave unto them, even to the chil 
 dren of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and 
 unto half the tribe of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, 
 f the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and 
 the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the laud, with 
 the cities thereof m the coasts, even the cities of 
 the country round about. 
 
 34 HAnd the children of Gad built h Dibon, and 
 Ataroth, and 'Aroer, 
 
 35 And Atroth, Shophan, and Jazer and Jo°- 
 behah, 
 
 36 And ' Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran, "fenced 
 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 fgave other 
 names unto the cities which they builded. 
 
 39 And the children of 'Machir the son of Manas- 
 seh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed 
 the Amorite which was in it. 
 
 40 And Moses 'gave Gilead unto Machir, tne son 
 of Manasseh; and he dwelt therein.

 and these are their journeys according to their 
 goings out. 
 
 3 And they 8 departed from Rameses in * the first

 and they pitched before Migdol. 
 
 8 And they departed from before Pi-hahiroth,

 wilderness of Etham, and pitched in Marah. 
 
 9 And they removed from Marah, and *came

 1 Eight and forty cities for the Levites, with their suburbs, and measure 
 thereof. 6 Sic of them are to be cities of refuge. 9 The laws of mur- 
 der. 31 No satisfaction for murder. 
 
 AND the Lord spake unto Moses in the plains of 
 Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying, 
 
 2 "Command the children of Israel, that they give 
 unto the Levites of the inheritance of their posses- 
 sion cities to dwell in ; and ye shall give also unto 
 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, 
 an 1 for their goods, and for all their beasts. 
 
 4 Ana the suburbs of the cities which ye shall 
 give unto the Levites, shall reach from the wall of 
 the city and outward a thousand 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 gwe unto 
 the Levites there shall be b s\x cities for refuge, which 
 ye shall appoint for the mansla} r er, that he may flee 
 thither : and jto them ye shall add forty and two cities. 
 
 7 So all the cities which ye shall give to the 
 Levites shall be c forty and eight cities: them shall 
 ye give with their suburbs. 
 
 8 And the cities Avhieh ye shall give shall be rf of 
 the possession of the children of Israel: e from them 
 that have many ye shall give many; but from them 
 that have few ye shall give few : every one shall 
 give of his cities unto the Levites according to his 
 inheritance which fhe inheriteth. 
 
 9 HAnd the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 
 
 10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say 
 unto them, -''When ye be come over Jordan into the 
 land of Canaan ; 
 
 11 Then^ye shall appoint you cities to be cities 
 of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee thither, 
 which killeth any person fat unawares. 
 
Lmvs concerning murder and manslaughter. 
 
 12 "Ami they shall be unto you cities for refuge 
 from the avenger; that the raanslayer 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 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 Jhem: that every one that killeth 
 any person unawares may flee thither. 
 
 16 "'And if he smite him with an instrument of 
 iron, so that he die, he is a murderer : the mur- 
 derer shall surely be put to death. 
 
 17 And if he smite him fwith throwing a stone, 
 wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a mur- 
 derer : the murderer shall surely be put to death. 
 
 18 Or if he smite him with an hand»weapon of 
 wood, wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a 
 murderer : the murderer shall surely be put to death. 
 
 19 "The revenger of blood himself shall slay the 
 murderer : when he meeteth him, he shall slay him. 
 
 20 But "if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl at 
 him !' by laying of wait, that he die ; 
 
 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 revenger of blood 
 shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth him. 
 
 22 But if he thrust him suddenly 'without enmity, 
 or have cast upon him any thing without laying of 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 r the congregation shall judge between 
 the slayer and the revenger of blood according to 
 these judgments: 
 
 25 And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out 
 of the hand of the revenger of blood, and the congrega- 
 tion shall restore him to the city of his refuge, whither 
 he was fled: and * he shall abide in it unto the death of 
 the high priest, 'which was anointed with the holy oil. 
 
 26 But if the slayer shall at any time come with- 
 out the border of the city of his refuge, whither he 
 was fled; 
 
 27 And the revenger of blood find him without the 
 borders of the city of his refuge, and the revenger of 
 blood kill the slayer; | he shall not be guilty of blood : 
 
 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 "a statute of judg- 
 ment unto you throughout your generations in all 
 your dwellings. 
 
 30 Whoso 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 satisfaction for the 
 life of a murderer, which is f guilty of death : but 
 he shall be surely put to death. 
 
 32 And ye shall take no satisfaction 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.

 The daughters of Zelophehad marry their father's hrothti j' si.ni. 
 
 AND the chief fathers of the families of the "chil- 
 dren of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of 
 Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, 
 came near, and spake before Moses, and before the 
 princes, the chief fathers of the children of Israel : 
 
 2 And they said, b The Lord commanded my lord 
 to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the 
 children of Israel: and f my lord was commanded 
 by the Lord to give the inheritance of Zelophehad 
 our brother unto his daughters. 
 
 3 And if they be married to any of the sous of 
 the other tribes of the children of Israel, then shall 
 their inheritance be taken from the inheritance of 
 our fathers, and shall be put to the inheritance of 
 the tribe fwhereunto they are received: so shall 
 it be taken from the lot of our inheritance. 
 
 4 And when d ihe jubilee of the children of Israel 
 shall be, then shall their inheritance be put unto 
 the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are re- 
 ceived: so shall their inheritance be taken away 
 from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers. 
 
 5 And Moses commanded the children of Israel 
 according to the word of the Lord, saying, The 
 tribe of the sons of Joseph 'hath said well. 
 
 6 This is the thing which the Lord doth com- 
 mand concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, say- 
 ing, Let them f marry to whom they think best; 
 ^'only to the family of the tribe of their father shall 
 they marry. 
 
 7 So shall not the inheritance of the children of 
 Israel remove from tribe to tribe : for every one 
 of the children of Israel shall f A 'keep himself to the 
 inheritance of the tribe of his fathers. 
 
 8 And ''every daughter, that possesseth an in- 
 heritance in any tribe of the children of Israel, 
 shall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe of 
 her father, that the children of Israel may enjoy 
 every man the inheritance of his fathers. 
 
 9 Neither shall the inheritance remove from one 
 tribe to another tribe; but every one of the tribes 
 of the children of Israel shall keep himself to his 
 own inheritance. 
 
 10 Even as the Lord commanded Moses, so did 
 the daughters of Zelophehad ; 
 
 11 'For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah,and Milcah, 
 and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were mar- 
 ried unto their father's brothers' sons : 
 
 12 And they were married finto the families of 
 the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph, and their 
 inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of 
 their father. 
 
 13 These are the commandments and the judg- 
 ments, which the Lord commanded by the hand of 
 Moses unto the children of Israel *in the plains of 
 Moab by Jordan near Jericho.

 in the plain over against || the Red sea, between 
 Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Ilazeroth, and 
 Dizahab. 
 
 2 {There are eleven fays' journey from Horeb by 
 the way of mount Seir 6 unto Kadesh-barnea.) 
 
 3 And it came to pass c in the fortieth year, in 
 ihe eleventh month, on the first day of the month, 
 that Moses spake unto the children of Israel, ac- 
 
 cording unto all that the Lord had 
 
 given 
 
 him in 
 
 commandment unto them; 
 
 4 ''After he had slain Sihon the king of the Amo- 
 rites, which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og^ the king of 
 Bashan. which dwelt at Astaroth 'in Edrei : 
 
 5 On this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, began 
 Moses to declare this law, saying, 
 
 6 The Lord our God spake unto us 'in Horcb, 
 saying, Ye have dwelt long ^ enough in this mount: 
 
 and 
 
 go 
 
 to 
 
 7 # Turn you, and take your journey 
 the mount of the Amorites, and unto f all the places 
 nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the 
 vale, and in the south, and by the sea-side, to the 
 land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the 
 great river, the river Euphrates. 
 
 8 Behold, I have f se t the land before you : go 
 in and possess the land which the Lord sware unto 
 your fathers, ''Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give 
 unto them and to their seed after them. 
 
 9 H And ' I spake unto you at that time, saying, 
 I am not able to bear }'ou myself alone : 
 
 10 The Lord your God hath multiplied you, and 
 behold, fc ye are this day as the stars of heaven for 
 multitude. 
 
 11 ('The Lord God of your fathers make you a 
 thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless 
 you, '"as he hath promised you !) 
 
 12 "How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, 
 and your burden, and your strife ? 
 
 13 "fTake you wise men, and understanding, and 
 known among your tribes, and 1 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 tnem heads over you, 
 captains over thousands, and captains over hun- 
 dreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over 
 inns, and officers among your tribes. 
 
 16 And I charged your judges at that time, say- 
 ing, Hear the causes between your brethren, and 
 •judge righteously between every man and his 'bro- 
 ther, and the stranger that is with him. 
 
 17 'Ye shall not f respect persons in judgment; 
 but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye 
 shall not be afraid of the face of man; for 'the judg- 
 ment is God's : and the cause that is too hard for 
 yon, "bring it unto me, and I will hear it. 
 
 18 And I commanded you at that time all the 
 things which ye should do. 
 
 19 IT And when we departed from Horeb, ^we 
 went through all that great and terrible wilderness, 
 which ye saw by the way of the" mountain of the

 Amorites, as the Lord our God commanded us; and 
 J we came to Kadesh-barnea. 
 
 20 And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the 
 mountain of the Amorites, which the Lord our God 
 doth give unto us. 
 
 21 Behold, the Lord thy God hath set the Ian 3 
 before thee : go up and possess it, as the Lord God 
 of thy fathers hath said unto thee; z fear not, nei 
 ther be discouraged. 
 
 22 IT And ye came near unto me every one ot 
 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 "I took 
 twelve men of you. one of a tribe : 
 
 24 And ''Ihey turned and went up into the moun- 
 tain, and came unto the valley of Eshcol, and 
 searched it out. 
 
 25 And they took of the fruit of the land in 
 their hands, and brought it down unto us, and 
 brought us word again, and said, c It is a good land 
 which the Lord our God doth give us. 
 
 20 ''Notwithstanding, ye would not go up, but 
 rebelled against the commandment of the Lord 
 your God : 
 
 27 And ye murmured in yom tents, and said, 
 Because the Lord c hated us, he hath brought us 
 forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us intc 
 the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us. 
 
 28 Whither shall we go up? our brethren have 
 fdiscouraged our heart, saying, •'The people z'sgreatei 
 and taller than we; the cities are greac and walled 
 up to heaven; and moreover, we have seen the a^LS 
 of the s Anakims there. 
 
 29 Then I said unto you, Dread not, neithj. be 
 afraid of them. 
 
 30 ''The Lord your God which 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 wilderness, where thou hast seen 
 how that the Lord thy God 'bare thee, as a man- 
 doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, un 
 til ye came into this place. 
 
 32 Yet in this thing *ye did not believe the Lord 
 your God, 
 
 33 Who went in the way before you, m to search 
 you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by 
 night, to shew you by what way ye should go, and 
 in a cloud by day. 
 
 34 And the Lord heard the voice of your words, 
 and was wroth, "and sware, saying, 
 
 35 "Surety there shall not one of these men of 
 this evil generation see that good land, which 1 
 sware to give unto your fathers, 
 
 36 ^Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall 
 see it, and to him will I give the land that he hath 
 trodden upon, and to his children, because *he hath 
 f wholly followed the Lord. 
 
 37 'Also the Lord was angry with me, for your 
 sakes, saying, Thou also shalt not go in thither. 
 
 38 'But Joshua the son of Nun, 'which standeth 
 before thee, he shall go in thither. " Encourage 
 him : for he shall cause Israel to inherit it. 
 
 39 'Moreover ,your little ones,which y ye said should 
 be a prey, and your children, which in that fay -had

 40 "But as for you, turn you, and take your jour- 
 ney into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea. 
 
 41 Then ye answered and said unto me, 'We have 
 Binned against the Lord, we will go up and fight, ac- 
 cording to all that the Lord our God commanded us. 
 And when }^e had girded on every man his weapons 
 of war, ye were ready to go up into the hill. 
 
 42 And the Lord said unto me, Say unto them, 
 'Go not up, neither fight; for I am not among you; 
 lest ye be smitten before your enemies. 
 
 4b So I spake unto you; and ye would not hear, 
 but rebelled against the commandment of the Lord, 
 and f''went presumptuously up into the hill. 
 
 44 And the Amorites, which dwelt in that moun- 
 tain, came out against you, and chased you, e as bees 
 do, and destroyed you in Seir, even unto Hormah. 
 
 45 And ye returned and wept before the Lord; 
 but the Lord would not, hearken to your voice, nor 
 give ear unto you. 
 
 46 -^So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according 
 unto the days that ye abode there. 
 
 CHAP. II. 
 
 The story is continued, that they were not to meddle with the Edomiles, 
 Mrtabiles, nor Ammonites, <^c. 
 
 THEN we turned, and took our journey into the 
 wilderness by the way of the Red sea, °as the 
 Lord spake unto me : and we compassed mount 
 Seir many days. 
 
 2 And the Lord spake unto me, saying, 
 
 3 Ye have compassed this mountain 'long enough : 
 turn you northward. 
 
 4 And command thou the people, saying, e Ye are 
 to pass through the coast of your brethren the chil- 
 dren of Esau, which dwell in Seir; and they shall 
 be afraid of you : take ye good heed unto your- 
 selves therefore : 
 
 5 Meddle not with them; for I will not give you 
 of their land, fno, not so much as a foot-breadth; 
 ^because I have given mount Seir unto Esau for a 
 possession. 
 
 . 6 Ye shall buy meat of them for money, that ye 
 may eat ; and ye shall also buy water of them for 
 money, that ye may drink. 
 
 7 For the Lord thy God hath blessed thee in all 
 the works of thy hand : he knoweth thy walking 
 through this great wilderness : e these forty years the 
 Lord thy God hath been with thee : thou hast lacked 
 nothing. 
 
 8 ^'And when we passed by from our brethren 
 the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, through 
 the way of the plain from * Elath, and from Ezion- 
 gaber, we turned and passed by the way of the 
 wilderness of Moab. 
 
 9 And the Lord said unto me, || Distress not the 
 Moabites, neither contend with them in battle : for 
 L will not give thee of their land for a possession; 
 because I have given A Ar unto 'the children of Lot 
 for a possession. 
 
 ](J ( A The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a 
 people great, and many, and tall as 'the Anakims 
 
 11 Which also were accounted giants, as the 
 Anakims; but the Moabites call them Emims.

 in their || stead ; as Israel did unto the land of his 
 possession, which the Lord gave unto them.) 
 
 13 Now rise up, said I, and get you over "the 
 brook Zered: and we went over the brook Zered. 
 
 14 And the space in which we came "from Ka- 
 desh-barnea, until we were come over the brook 
 Zered, was thirty and eight years; ''until all the 
 generation of the men of war were wasted out from 
 among the host, ''as the Lord sware unto them. 
 
 15 For indeed the r hand of the Lord was against 
 them, to destroy them from among the host, until 
 they were consumed. 
 
 16 H So it came to pass, when all the men of war 
 were consumed and dead from among the people, 
 
 17 That the Lord spake unto me, saying, 
 
 18 Thou art to pass over through Ar, the coast 
 of Moab, this day : 
 
 19 And when thou comest nigh over against the 
 children of Amnion, distress them not, nor meddle 
 with them : for I will not give thee of the land of 
 the children of Ammon any possession ; because I have 
 given it unto *the children of Lot for a possession. 
 
 20 (That also was accounted a land of giants : 
 giants dwelt therein in old time; and the Ammo- 
 nites call them ' Zamzummims ; 
 
 21 "A people great, and many, and tall as the Ana- 
 kims; but the Lord destroyed them before them; 
 and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead 
 
 22 As he did to the children of Esau, * which 
 dwelt in Seir, when he destroyed ^the Horims from 
 before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt 
 in their stead even unto this day : 
 
 23 And z the Avims which dwelt in Hazerim, even 
 unto "Azzah, 'the Caphtorims, which came forth out 
 of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.) 
 
 24 IF Rise ye up, take your journey, and c pass over 
 the river Arnon : behold, I have given into thy hand 
 Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land : 
 f begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle. 
 
 2o ''This day will I begin to put the dread of thee 
 and the fear 01 thee upon the nations that are under 
 the whole heaven, who shall hear report of thee, and 
 shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee. 
 
 26 IT And I sent messengers out of the wilder- 
 ness of Kedemoth unto Sihon king of Heshbon 
 "with words of peace, saying, 
 
 27 -/'Let me pass through 
 along by the highway, I wdl 
 right hand nor to the left. 
 
 28 Thou shalt sell me meat 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 wnich dw T ell in 
 Seir, and the Moabites which dwell in Ar, did unto 
 me;) until I shall pass over Jordan into the land 
 which the Lord our God giveth us. 
 
 30 'But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us 
 pass by him: for k the Lord thy God 'hardened his 
 spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might 
 deliver him into thy hand, as appeareih this day. 
 
 31 And the Lord said unto me, Behold, I have 
 begun to m give Sihon and his land before thee : be- 
 gin to possess, that thou mayest inherit his land. 
 
 32 " Then Sihon came out against us, he and all 
 his people, to fight at Jahaz. 
 
 33 And "the Lord our God delivered him before us ; 
 and ''we smote him, and his sons, and all his people. 
 
 34 And we took all his cities at that tunc, and v at- 
 
 thy land : I will go 
 neither turn unto the 
 
Of 0// king of Daman C 
 
 terly destroyed t the men, and the women, and the 
 little ones 01 every city; we left -none to remain : 
 
 35 Only the cattle we took for a prey unto our- 
 selves, and the spoil of the cities which we took. 
 
 36 r From Aroer which is by the brink of the river 
 of Arnon, and from the cit}' that is by the river, 
 even unto Gilead, there was not one city too strong 
 for us: 'the Lord our God delivered all unto us: 
 
 37 Only unto the land of the children of Ammon 
 thou earnest not, nor unto any place of the river 
 'Jabbok, nor unto the cities in the mountains, nor 
 onto "whatsoever the Lord our God forbade us.

 THEN we turned, and went up the way to Ba- 
 shan: and °Og the king of Bashan came out 
 against us, he and all his people, to battle 4 at Edrei. 
 
 2 And the Lord said unto me, Fear him not; 
 for I will deliver him, and all his people, and his 
 land, into thy hand ; and thou shalt do unto him as 
 thou didst unto c Sihon king of the Amorites, which 
 dwelt at Heshbon. 
 
 3 So the Lord our God delivered into our hands 
 Og also the king of Bashan, and all his people : ''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, three- 
 score cities, 'all the region of Argob, the kingdom 
 of Og in Bashan. 
 
 5 All these cities tvere fenced with high walls, gates, 
 and bars ; beside unwalled towns a great many. 
 
 6 And we utterly destroyed them, as we did 
 unto Sihon king •'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 
 Jordan, from the river of Arnon 
 
 on 
 unto 
 
 this side 
 mount Hermon; 
 
 9 ( Which s Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion; and 
 the Amorites call it '' Shenir;) 
 
 10 'AH the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, 
 and *all Bashan, unto Salchan and Edrei, cities of 
 the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 
 
 11 'For onl} r Og king of Bashan remained of the 
 remnant of '"giants; behold, his bedstead was abed- 
 stead of iron ; is it not in " Rabbath 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, tvhich we possessed at that 
 time, "from Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, 
 and half mount Gilead, and ''the cities thereof, gave 
 1 unto the Reubenites and to the Gadites. 
 
 13 'And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, 
 being the kingdom of Og, gave I unto the half-tribe 
 
 of Manasseh; all the 
 
 region 
 
 of Argob, Avith all 
 
 Bashan, which was called the land of giant 
 
 14 r Jair the son of Manasseh took all the country 
 of Argob, 'unto the coasts of Geshuri, and Maacha- 
 thi; and 'called them after his own name, Bashan- 
 havoth-jair, unto this day. 
 
 15 "And I gave Gilead unto Machir. 
 
 16 And unto the Reubenites ""and unto the Gadites 
 I gave from Gilead even unto the river Arnon, half 
 the valley, and the border, even unto the river Jab- 
 bok, x which is the border of the children of Ammon :

 of, from y Chinnereth *even unto the sea of the plain, 
 "even the salt sea, || under Ashdoth-pisgah eastward. 
 
 18 IT And I commanded you at that time, saying. 
 The Lord your God hath given you this land to pos- 
 sess it; 4 ye shall pass over armea before your brethren 
 the children of Israel, all that are fmeet for the war. 
 
 19 But your wives, and your little ones, and your 
 cattle, {for I know that ye have much cattle,) shall 
 abide in your cities which I have given you; 
 
 20 Until the Lord have given rest unto youi 
 brethren, as well as unto you, and until they also 
 possess the land which the Lord your God hath giver, 
 them beyond Jordan : and then shall ye c return every 
 man unto his possession which I have given you. 
 
 21 IF And d l commanded Joshua at that time, sa} r - 
 ing, Thine eyes have seen all that the Lord your 
 God hath done unto these two kings : so shall the 
 Lord do unto all the kingdoms whither thou passest. 
 
 22 Ye shall not fear them: for 'the Lord your 
 God he shall fight for you. 
 
 23 And J I besought the Lord at that time, saying, 
 
 24 Lord God, thou hast begun to shew thy 
 servant g thy greatness, and thy mighty hand : for 
 '' what God is therein heaven or in earth, that can do ac- 
 cording 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 moun- 
 tain, and Lebanon. 
 
 26 But the Lord *was wroth with me for your 
 sakes, and would not hear me : and the Lord said 
 unto me, Let it suffice thee; speak no more unto 
 me of this matter. 
 
 27 'Get thee up into the top of || Pisgah, and lift 
 up thine eyes westward, and northward, and south- 
 ward, and eastward, and behold it with thine eyes : 
 for thou shalt not go over this Jordan. 
 
 28 But m charge Joshua, and encourage him, ana 
 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 valleyover against Beth-peor 
 CHAP. IV. 
 
 Moses appoinleth the three cities of refuge on that side Jordan. 
 
 NOW therefore hearken, Israel, unto "the sta 
 tutes and unto the judgments, wdiich I teach 
 you. for to do them, that ye may live, and go in and 
 possess the land which the Lord God of your fathers 
 giveth you. 
 
 2 6 Ye shall not add unto the word which I com- 
 mand you, neither shall ye diminish aught from it, 
 that ye may keep the commandments of the Lore 
 your God which I command you. 
 
 3 Your eyes have seen what the Lord did be- 
 cause of c Baal-peor : for all the men that followed 
 Baal-peor, the Lord tlry God hath destroyed them 
 from among yeu. 
 
 4 But ye that did cleave unto the Lord your 
 God, are alive every one of you this day. 
 
 f) Behold, I have taught you statutes, and judg 
 ments, even as the Lord 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 ''your 
 wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the 
 nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say. 
 Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding 
 people. 
 
 129 
 
Moses ezhortelh the 
 
 DEUTERONOJdY. 
 
 people to obedienct 
 
 7 For 'wheat nation is there so great, who hath 
 'God so nigh unto them, as the Lord our God is in 
 all things that we call upon him for ? 
 
 8 And what nation is there so great, that hath 
 statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, 
 which I set before you this day ? 
 
 9 Only take heed to thyself, and *keep thy soul 
 diligently, A lest thou forget the things which thine 
 eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy 
 neart all the days of thy life: but 'teach them thy 
 sons, and thy sons' sons : 
 
 10 Specially *the day that thou stoodest before 
 the Lord thy God in Horeb, when the Lord said 
 unto me, Gather me the people together, and I will 
 make them hear my words, that they may learn to 
 fear me all the days that they shall live upon the 
 earth, and that they may teach their children. 
 
 11 And ye came near and stood under the moun- 
 tain; and the 'mountain burned with fire unto the 
 t midst of heaven, with darkness, clouds, and thick 
 darkness. 
 
 12 m And the Lord spake unto you out of the 
 midst of the fire : "ye heard the voice of the words, 
 but saw no similitude; "f only ye heard a voice. 
 
 13 p And he declared unto you his covenant, which 
 he commanded you to perform, even 'ten command- 
 ments ; and r he wrote them upon two tables of stone. 
 
 14 IT And 'the Lord commanded me at that time to 
 teach you statutes and judgments, that ye might do 
 them in the land whither ye go over to possess it. 
 
 15 ' Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves ; 
 (for ye saw no manner of "similitude on the day 
 that the Lord spake unto you in Horeb out of the 
 midst of the fire ;) 
 
 16 Lest ye * corrupt yourselves, and ^make } r ou a 
 graven image, the similitude of any figure, *the like- 
 ness 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 creepeth on 
 the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the 
 waters beneath the earth : 
 
 19 And lest thou "lift up thine eyes unto heaven, 
 and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and 
 the stars, even *all the host of heaven, shouldest be 
 driven to c worship them, and serve them, which the 
 Lord thy God hath || divided unto all nations under 
 the whole heaven. 
 
 20 But the Lord hath taken you, and ''brought you 
 forth out of the iron furnace, even out of Egypt, a to be 
 unto him a people of inheritance, as ye are this day. 
 
 21 Furthermore, •'the Lord was angry with me 
 for your sakes, and sware that I should not go over 
 Jordan, and that I should not go in unto that good 
 land which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an 
 inheritance : 
 
 22 But ^1 must die in this land, A I must not go 
 <*ver Jordan : but ye shall go over, and possess 'that 
 good land. 
 
 23 Take heed unto yourselves, *lest ye forget 
 the covenant of the Lord your God, which he made 
 with you, 'and make you a graven image, or the 
 Ukeness of any thing which the Lord thy God hath 
 forbidden thee. 
 
 24 For m the Lord thy God is a consuming fire, 
 even "a jealous God.

 dren's children, and ye shall have remained long in

 26 ? I call heaven and earth to witness against 
 you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perisb 
 from off 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 the Lord r shall scatter you among the 
 nations, and ye shall be left few in number anions 
 the heathen, whither the Lord 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 the Lord 
 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

 will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget 
 the covenant of thy fathers, which he sware unto them.

 were before thee, since the day that God created man 
 upon the earth, and ask 6 from the one side of heaven 
 unto the other, whether there hath been any such thing 
 as this great thing is, or hath been heard like it ? 
 
 33 c Did ever people hear the voice of God speak- 
 ing out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, 
 and live ? 
 
 34 Or hath God assayed to go and take him a na- 
 tion from the midst of another nation, d \>y tempta- 
 tions, c by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and 
 •^b}" a mighty hand, and s hy a stretched-out arm, A and 
 by great terrors, according to all that the Lord 
 your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes ? 
 
 35 Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest 
 know that the Lord he is God: 'there is none else 
 beside him. 
 
 36 fc Out of heaven he made thee to hear his 
 voice, that he might instruct thee : and upon earth 
 he shewed thee his great fire; and thou heardest 
 his words out of the midst of the fire. 
 
 37 And because 'he loved thy fathers, therefore he 
 chose their seed after them, and '"brought thee out 
 in his sight with his mighty power out of Egypt; 
 
 38 " To drive out nations from before thee, greater 
 and mightier than thou art, to bring thee in, to give 
 thee their land for an inheritance, as it is this day. 
 
 39 Know therefore this day, and consider it in 
 thine heart, that "the Lord he is God in heaven above*

 1 The covenant in Horeb. 6 The ten commandments. 22 At the people's 
 request Moses reeeiueth the law from God. 
 
 AND Moses called all Israel, and said unto them, 
 Hear, Israel, the statutes and judgments 
 which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may 
 learn them, and fkeep, and do them. 
 
 2 a The Lord our God made a covenant with us 
 in Horeb. 
 
 3 The Lord 'made not this covenant with our 
 fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here 
 alive this day. 
 
 4 e The Lord talked with you face to face in the 
 mount, out of the midst of the fire, 
 
 5 ( d I stood between the Lord and you at that 
 time, to shew you the word of the Lord: for e ye 
 were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up 
 into the mount,) saying, 
 
 6 VI am the Lord, thy God,which brought thee out 
 of the land of Egypt, from the house of f bondage. 
 
 7 A ' Thou shalt have none other gods before me. 
 
 8 * Thou shalt not make thee anij graven image, 
 •>;• any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, 
 ur that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the 
 waters beneath the earth : 
 
 9 Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, 
 nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a 
 jealous God, 'visiting the iniquity of the fathers 
 npon the children unto the third and fourth genera- 
 lion of them that hate me, 
 
 10 *And shewing mercy unto thousands of them 
 that love me, and keep my commandments. 
 
 11 'Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord 
 thy God in vain: for the Lord will not hold Mm 
 guiltless that taketh his name in vain. 
 
 12 '"Keep the sabbath-day to sanctify it, as the 
 Lord 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 the 
 LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, 
 thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy man- 
 servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thine ox, nor thine 
 ass, nor auy 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 wasta servant in the 
 land of Egypt, and that the Lord thy God brought 
 thee out thence ''through a mighty hand and by a

 22 IT These words the Lord spake unto all your as- 
 sembly 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 w more: and °he wrote them 
 in two tables of stone, and delivered them unto 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 unto me, even 
 all the heads of your tribes, and your elders; 
 
 24 And ye said, Behold, the Lord our God hath 
 shewed us his glory, and his greatness, and c 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 ''liveth. 
 
 25 Now therefore why should we die? for this 
 great fire will consume us : e if we f hear the voice of 
 the Lord our God any more, then we shall die.

 the voice of the living God speaking out of the 
 midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?

 God shall say: and s speak thou unto us all that 
 the Lord our God shall speak unto thee; and we 
 will hear it, and do it. 
 
 28 And the Lord heard the voice of your words,

 have well said all that they have spoken.

 1 All communion with the nations is forbidden. 
 
 WHEN the "Lord thy God shall bring thee into 
 the land whither thou goest to possess it, 
 and hath cast out many nations before thee, *the 
 Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites. 
 and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the 
 Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations "greater 
 and mightier than thou ; 
 
 2 And when the Lord thy God shall ''deliver 
 them before thee, thou shalt smite them, and 'utterly 
 destroy them, J thou shalt make nc covenant with 
 them, nor shew mercy unto them : 
 
 3 s Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; 
 thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor 
 his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son. 
 
 4 For they will turn away thy son from follow- 
 ing me, that they may serve other gods: A so will 
 the anger of the Lord be kindled against you, and 
 destroy thee suddenly. 
 
 5 But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall 
 'destroy their altars, and break down their f images, 
 and cut down their groves, and burn their graven 
 images with fire. 
 
 6 *For thou art an holy people unto the Lord 
 thy God : ' the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to 
 be a special people unto himself, above all people 
 that are upon the face of the earth. 
 
 7 The Lord did not set his love upon you, noi 
 choose you, because ye were more in number than 
 any people ; for ye were m the fewest of all people : 
 
 8 But "because the Lord loved you, and because 
 he would keep "the oath which he had sworn unto 
 your fathers, 'hath the Lord 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 the Lord thy God, he is 
 God, "the faithful God, r which 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 commandments, 
 and the statutes, and the judgments, which I com 
 mand thee this day, to do them. 
 
 12 Y Where fore it shall come to pass, fif yehearken 
 to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the 
 Lord thy God shall keep unto thee x the covenant 
 and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers : 
 
 13 And he will "love thee, and bless thee, and 
 multiply thee: z he will also bless the fruit of thy 
 womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy 
 wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and 
 the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware 
 unto thy fathers to give thee. 
 
 14 'Thou shalt be blessed above all people r 
 "there shall not be male or female barren amoug 
 you, or among your cattle. 
 
 15 And the Lord will take away from thee ail 
 sickness, and will put none of the ''evil diseases of 
 
Moses exhorleth the

 Israelites to obedience 
 
 Egypt which thou knowest upon thee; but will 
 lay them upon all them that hate thee. 
 
 16 And 'thou shalt consume all the people which 
 the Lord thy God shall deliver thee; d thine eye 
 shall have no pity upon them : neither shalt thou 
 serve their gods; for that will be "a snare unto thee. 
 
 1 7 If thou shalt say in thine heart, These nations 
 are more than I. how can I J dispossess them? 
 
 18 *Thou shalt not be afraid of them: bid shalt 
 well h remember what the Lord thy God did unto 
 Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt; 
 
 19 'The great temptations which thine eyes saw, 
 and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, 
 and the stretched-out arm, whereby the Lord thy 
 God brought thee out: so shall the Lord thy God 
 do unto all the people of whom thou art afraid. 
 
 20 * Moreover, the Lord 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 a,t them: for 
 the Lord thy God is 'among you, m a mighty God 
 and terrible. 
 
 22 "And the Lord thy God will fput 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 the Lord thy God shall deliver them 
 t unto thee, and shall destroy them with a mighty 
 destruction, until they be destroyed. 
 
 24 And "he shall deliver their kings into thine 
 hand, and thou shalt destroy their name ^from

 before thee, until thou have destroyed them. 
 
 25 The graven images of their gods r shall ye burn 
 with fire : thou 'shalt not desire the silver or gold that 
 is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be 'snared 
 therein : for it is "an abomination to the Lord thy God. 
 
 26 Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into 
 thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: 
 but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt 
 utterly abhor it; *for it is a cursed thing.

 An exhortation to obedience in regard of God's dealing with them. 
 
 A LL the commandments which I command thee 
 + *- this day "shall ye observe to do, that ye may 
 ive, and multiply, and go in and possess the land 
 which the Lord sware unto your fathers. 
 
 2 And thou shalt remember all the way which 
 the Lord thy God * led thee these forty years in the 
 wilderness, to humble thee, and e to prove thee, d to 
 know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest 
 keep his commandments, or no. 
 
 3 And he humbled thee, and 'suffered 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 the Lord, doth man live. 
 
 ( 4 A Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither 
 did thy foot swell these forty years. 
 
 5 ' Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that 
 as a man chasteneth his son, so the Lord thy God 
 chasteneth thee. 
 
 6 Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments 
 of the Lord thy God, *to walk in his ways, and to 
 fear him.

 10 "When thou hast eaten and art full, then 
 thou shalt bless the Lord thy God for the good 
 land which he hath given thee. 
 
 11 Beware that thou forget not the Lord thy God, 
 in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, 
 and his statutes, 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 thine herds and thy flocks multiply, 
 and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all 
 that thou hast is multiplied ;

 the Lord thy God, which brought thee forth out "of 
 the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage ; 
 
 15 Who 'led thee through that great and terrible 
 wilderness, 'wherein were fiery serpents, and scor- 
 pions, and drought, where there was no water: 'who 
 brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint ; 
 
 16 Who fed thee in the wilderness with "manna, 
 which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble 
 thee, and that he might prove thee, Mo do thee good 
 at thy latter end : 
 
 17 y And thou say in thine heart, My power and 
 the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth. 
 
 18 But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God : 
 *for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, 
 " that he may establish his covenant which he sware 
 unto thy fathers, as it is this day. 
 
 19 And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the

 them, and worship them, 6 I testify against you this

 Anakims, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou 
 hast heard say, Who can stand before the children

 bring them down before thy face: "so shalt thou 
 drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the 
 Lord hath said unto thee. 
 
 4 ' Speak not thou in thine heart, after that the

 to possess their land : 
 but for the wickedness of these nations, the Lord

 that he may perform m the word which the Lord 
 eware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 
 
 6 Understand therefore, that the Lord thy God 
 giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy 
 righteousness; for thou art "a stiff-necked people. 
 
 7 IT Remember, and forget not, how thou pro- 
 vokedst the Lord thy God to wrath in the wilder- 
 ness: "from the day that thou didst depart out Of 
 the land of Egypt, until ye came unto this place, 
 ye have been rebellious against the Lord. 
 
 8 Also ''in Horeb ye provoked the Lord to wrath, 
 so that the Lord was angry with you to have de- 
 stroyed you. 
 
 9 'When I was gone up into the mount, to re- 
 ceive the tables of stone, even the tables of the 
 covenant which the Lord 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 the Lord delivered unto me two tables 
 of stone written with the finger of God; and on 
 them was written according to all the words which 
 the Lord spake with you in the mount, out of the 
 midst of the fire, 'in the day of the assembly. 
 
 11 And it came to pass at the end of forty days 
 and forty nights, that the Lord gave me the two 
 tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant. 
 
 12 And the Lord said unto me, "Arise, get thee 
 down quickly from hence; for thy people which 
 thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have cor- 
 rupted themselves; they are x quickly turned aside 
 out of the way which I commanded them; they 
 have made them a molten image. 
 
 13 Furthermore, y the Lord spake unto me, say- 
 ing, I have seen this people, and behold, 'it is a 
 stitf-necked people : 
 
 14 "Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and 
 4 blot out their name from under heaven : c and I will 
 make of thee a nation mightier and greater than 
 they. 
 
 15 ''So I turned and came down from the mount, 
 and e the mount burned with fire : and the two tables 
 of the covenant tvere in my two hands. 
 
 16 And ^I looked, and behold, ye had sinned 
 against the Lord your God, and had made you a 
 molten calf: ye had turned aside quickly out of 
 the way which the Lord had commanded you. 
 
 17 And I took the two tables, and cast them out 
 of my two hands, and brake them before your eyes. 
 
 18 And I ^fell down before the Lord, as at the 
 first, forty days and forty nights : I did neither eat 
 bread, nor drink water, because of ail your sins 
 which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of 
 the Lord, to provoke him to anger. 
 
 19 ( A For I was afraid of the anger and hot dis- 
 pleasure wherewith the Lord was wroth against you 
 to destroy you.) 'But the Lord hearkened unto 
 me at that time also. 
 
 20 And the Lord was very angry with Aaron to 
 have destroyed him : and I prayed for Aaron also 
 the same time. 
 
 21 And *I took your sin, the calf which ye had 
 made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, and 
 ground it very small, even until it was as small as 
 dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the brook 
 that descended out of the mount

 1 God's mercy in restoring the two tables, 6, and in continuing t'u 
 
 priesthood. 
 
 T that time the Lord said unto me, "Hew thee 
 
 A 
 
 two tables of stone like unto the first, and 
 come up unto 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 v\hich thou brakest, and 
 c thou shalt put them in the ark. 
 
 3 And I made an ark o/' rf shittim-wood, and e hewed 
 two tables of stone like unto the first, and went up 
 into the mount, having the two tables in mine hand. 
 
 4 And J he wrote on the tables, according to the 
 first writing, the ten f commandments, s which the 
 Lord spake unto you in the mount, out of the midst 
 of the fire, A in the day of the assembly: and the 
 Lord gave them unto me. 
 
 5 And I turned myself and 'came down from the 
 mount, and *putthe tables in the ark which I had made; 
 'and there they be, as the Lord commanded me. 
 
 6 HAnd the children of Israel took their journey from 
 Beeroth '" of the children of Jaakan to " Mosera : " there 
 Aaron died, and there he was buried; and Eleazar 
 his son ministered in the priest's office in his stead. 
 
 7 ''From thence they journeyed unto Gudgodah; 
 and from Gudgodah to Jotbath, a land of rivers of 
 waters. 
 
 8 II At that time 'the Lord separated the tribe 
 of Levi, r to bear the ark of the covenant of the 
 Lord, 'to stand before the Lord to minister unto 
 him, and 'to bless in his name, unto this day. 
 
 9 "Wherefore Levi hath no part nor inheritance 
 with his brethren; the Lord is his inheritance, 
 according as the Lord thy God promised him. 
 
 10 And X I stayed in the mount, according to the 
 || first time, forty days and forty nights; and "the 
 Lord hearkened unto me at that time also, and the 
 Lord would not destroy thee. 
 
 11 l And the Lord said uuto me, Arise, f kike ihu 
 
Moses oxhorldh the 
 
 journey before the people, that they may go in and 
 possess the land wnieh I sware unto their fathers 
 to give unto them. 
 
 12 1[ And now, Israel, " what doth the Lord thy 
 God require of thee but Ho fear the Lord thy God, 
 'to walk in all his ways, and Ho love him, and to 
 serve the Lord thy God with all thy heart and 
 with all thy soul, 
 
 13 To keep the commandments of the Lord, and 
 his statutes, which I command thee this day 'for 
 thy good ? 
 
 14 Behold, Him heaven and the heaven of 
 heavens is the Lord's thy God, Hhe earth also, with 
 all that therein is. 
 
 15 *Only the Lord 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 k stiff-necked. 
 
 17 For the Lord your God is 'God of gods, and 
 "Lord of lords, a great God, "a mighty, and a terrible, 
 which "regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward: 
 
 18 'He doth execute the judgment of the father- 
 less and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving 
 him food and raiment. 
 
 19 *Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were 
 strangers in the land of Egypt. 
 
 20 'Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God; him shalt 
 thou serve, and to him shalt thou s cleave, 'and swear 
 by his name. 
 
 21 "He is thy praise, and he is thy God, -Hhat 
 hath done for thee these great and terrible things 
 which thine eyes have seen. 
 
 22 Thy fathers went down into Egypt y with three 
 score and ten persons; and now the Lord thy G d 
 hath made thee ~as the stars of heaven for multitude.

 Israelites to obedunce 
 
 land m which the Lord sware unto your fathers Uf 
 give unto them, and to their seed, 'a land that 
 floweth with milk and honey. 
 
 10 II For the land, whitner thou goest in to pos- 
 sess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye 
 ciine out, "where thou sowedst thy seed, and 
 wateredst it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs: 
 
 11 'But the land, whither ye go to possess it, is 
 a land of hills and valleys, and drinketh water o'" 
 the rain of heaven : 
 
 12 A land which the Lord thy God fcareth for: 
 Hhe eyes of the Lord thy God are always upon it, 
 from the beginning of the year even unto the end 
 of the year. 
 
 13 II And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken 
 r diligently unto my commandments which I command 
 you this day,Ho love the Lord 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 
 his due season, Hhe first rain and the latter rain, 
 that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, 
 and thine oil. 
 
 15 x And I will fsend grass in thy fields lor thy 
 cattle, that thou ma}'est y eat and be full. 
 
 16 Take heed to yourselves, Hhat your heart be 
 not deceived, and ye turn aside, and "serve other 
 gods, and worship them; 
 
 17 And then Hhe Lord'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 d je perish quickly from off the good land which 
 the Lord giveth you. 
 
 18 IF Therefore 'shall ye lay up these my words 
 in your heart and in your soul, and J bind them for 
 a sign upon your hand, that they may be as front- 
 lets between your eyes. 
 
 19 k 'And ye shall teach them your children, 
 speaking of them when thou sittest in thine 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 dooi 
 posts of thine house, and upon thy gates : 
 
 21 That 'your days may be multiplied, and the 
 days of your ohildren, in the land which the Lord 
 sware unto your fathers to give them, *as the days 
 of heaven upon the earth. 
 
 22 IT For if 'ye shall diligently keep all these 
 commandments which I command you, to do them, 
 to love the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways, 
 and "' to cleave unto him ; 
 
 23 Then will the Lord "drive out all these nations 
 from before you, and ye shall "possess greater iw 
 tions and mightier than yourselves. 
 
 24 p Every place whereon the soles of your reet 
 shall tread snail be yours : Hrom the wilderness, and 
 Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even 
 unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be. 
 
 25 r There shall no man be able to stand before 
 you: for the Lord your God shall 'lay the fear of 
 you, and the dread of } r ou upon all the land that y 
 shall tread upon, 'as he hath said unto you. 
 
 26 H" Behold, I set before you this day a blessing 
 and a curse : 
 
 27 X A blessing, if ye obey the commandments 
 of the Lord your God which I command you this 
 day; 
 
 28 And a y curse, if ye will not obey the command- 
 ments of the Lord your God, but turn aside out of the

 thou goest to possess it, that thou shalt put * the 
 blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon 
 mount Ebal. 
 
 30 Are they not on the other side Jordan, by the 
 way where the sun goeth down, in the land of the 
 Canaanites, which dwell in the champaign over 
 against Gilgal, " beside the plains of Moreh ? 
 
 31 4 For ye shall pass over Jordan to go in to 
 possess the land which the Lord your God giveth 
 you, and ye shall possess it, and dwell therein. 
 
 32 And ye shall observe c to do all the statutes 
 and judgments which I set before you this day. 
 
 CHAP. XII. 
 
 1 Monuments of idolatry are to be destroyed. 16, 23 Blood is forbidden. 
 
 n^HESE "are the statutes and judgments which 
 J- ye shall observe to do in the land which the 
 Lord God of thy fathers giveth thee to possess it, 
 'all the days that ye live upon the earth. 
 
 2 c Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, where- 
 in the nations which ye shall || possess served their 
 gods, J upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, 
 and under every green tree : 
 
 3 And 'ye shall f overthrow their altars, and 
 break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire ; 
 and ye shall hew down the graven images of their 
 gods, and destroy the names of them out of that 
 place. 
 
 4 J 'Ye shall not do so unto the Lord your God. 
 
 5 But unto the place which the Lord your God 
 shall s choose out of all your tribes to put his name 
 there, even unto his habitation shall ye seek, and 
 thither thou shalt come : 
 
 6 And ''thither ye shall bring your burnt-offer- 
 ings, and your sacrifices, and your 'tithes, and 
 heave-offerings of your hand, and your vows, and 
 your free-will offerings, and the firstlings of your 
 herds, and of your flocks : 
 
 7 And * there ye shall eat before the Lord your 
 God, and 'ye shall rejoice in all that ye put your 
 hand unto, ye and your households, wherein the 
 Lord thy God hath blessed thee. 
 
 8 Ye shall not do after all the things that we do 
 here this day, '"every man whatsoever is right in 
 his own eyes. 
 
 9 For ye are not as yet come to the rest and to 
 the inheritance which the Lord your God giveth you. 
 
 10 But when "ye go over Jordan, and dwell in 
 the land which the Lord your God giveth you to 
 inherit, and when he giveth you rest from all your 
 enemies round about, so that ye dwell in safety : 
 
 11 Then there shall be "a place which the Lord 
 your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell 
 there; thither shall ye bring all that I command 
 you; your burnt-offerings, and your sacrifices, your 
 tithes, and the heave-offering of your hand, and all 
 tyour choice vows which ye vow unto the Lord. 
 
 12 And ^ye shall rejoice before the Lord your 
 God, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and 
 your men-servants, and your maid-servants, and the 
 Levite that is within your gates; forasmuch as 'he 
 hath no part nor inheritance with you. 
 
 13 r Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy 
 burnt-offerings in every place that thou seest:

 C II A P. XIII. 
 
 16 Idolatrous cities are 
 
 I Enlicers to idolatry are to be stoned to death, 
 
 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 c the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof 
 he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, 
 which thou hast not known, and let us serve them ; 
 j Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that 
 prophet, or that dreamer of dreams : for the Lord your 
 God ''proveth you, to know whether ye love the Lord 
 your God with all your heart and with all your soul. 
 
 4 Ye shall c walk after the Lord your God, and fear 
 him, and keep his commandments, and obey his 
 voice, and ye shall serve him, and -''cleave unto him. 
 
 5 And g that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, 
 shall be put to death ; because he hath f spoken to 
 turn you away from the Lord your God, which 
 brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed 
 you out of the house of bondage, to thrust thee out 
 of the way which the Lord thy God commanded 
 thee to walk in. * So shalt thou put the evil away 
 from the midst of thee. 
 
 6 IF ■ If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy 
 son, or thy daughter, or *the wife of thy bosom, or 
 thy friend, 'which is as thine own soul, entice thee 
 secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, 
 which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers ; 
 
 7 Namely, of the gods of the people which are 
 "ound about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from 
 thee, from the one end of the earth even unto the 
 other end of the earth ; 
 
 8 Thou shalt '"not consent unto him, nor hearken 
 unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither 
 shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him : 
 
 9 But "thou shalt surely kill him; "thine hand 
 shall be first upon him to put him to death, and 
 afterwards the hand of all the people. 
 
 10 And thou shalt stone him with stones that he 
 die; because he hath sought to thrust thee away 
 from the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of 
 the land of Egypt from the house of f bondage. 
 
 11 And p all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do 
 no more any such wickedness as this is, among you. 
 
 12 IT ? If thou shalt hear say in one of thy cities, 
 which the Lord thy God hath given thee to dwell 
 there, saying, 
 
 13 Certain men, || the children of Belial, r are gone 
 out from among you, and have 'withdrawn the in- 
 habitants of their city, saying, 'Let us go and serve 
 other gods, which ye have not known ; 
 
 14 Then shalt thou inquire, and make search, and 
 ask diligently; and behold, if it be truth, and the thing 
 certain, that such abomination is wrought among you ; 
 
 15 Thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of 
 that city with the edge of the sword, "destroying 
 it utterly, and all that is therein, and the cattle 
 thereof, with the edge of the sword. 
 
 16 And thou shalt gather all the spoil of it into 
 the midst of the street thereof, and shalt ^burn 
 with fire the city, and all the spoil thereof every 
 whit, for the Lord thy God: and it shall be y an 
 Ueap for ever; it shall not be built again

 3 What may and what may not be eaten, 4 of beasts, 9 of fisn.es, 
 11 of fowls. 
 
 ATE are " the children of the Lord your God : * ye 
 
 JL shall not cut yourselves, nor make any bald- 
 ness between your eyes for the dead. 
 
 2 c For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy 
 God, and the Lord hath chosen thee to be a pecu- 
 liar people unto himself, above all the nations that 
 are upon the earth. 
 
 3 IP' Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing. 
 
 4 'These are the beasts Avhich ye shall eat : The 
 ox, the sheep, and the goat, 
 
 5 The hart, and the roe-buck, and the fallow 
 deer, and the wild-goat, and the || f pygarg, and 
 the wild-ox, and the chamois. 
 
 6 And every beast that parteth the hoof, and 
 cleave th the cleft into two claws, and cheweth the 
 cud among the beasts, that ye shall eat. 
 
 7 Nevertheless, these ye shall not eat, of then) 
 that chew the cud, or of them that divide the cloven 
 hoof; as the camel, and the hare, and the coney: 
 for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof*. 
 therefore they are unclean unto you. 
 
 8 And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet 
 cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you : ye shall 
 not eat of their flesh, -^nor touch their dead carcass. 
 
 9 IF These ye shall eat, of all that are in the 
 waters : all that have fins and scales shall ye eat : 
 
 10 And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye 
 may not eat; it is unclean unto you. 
 
 11 IT Of all clean birds ye shall eat. 
 
 12 ''But these are they of which ye shall not eat: 
 The eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray, 
 
 13 And the glede, and the kite, and the vulture 
 after his kind, 
 
 14 And every raven after his kind, 
 
 15 And the owl, and the night-hawk, and the 
 cuckoo, and the hawk after his kind, 
 
 16 The little owl. and the great owl, and the swan, 
 
 17 And the pelican, and the gier-eagle, and the 
 cormorant, 
 
 18 And the stork, and the heron after her kind, 
 and the lapwing, and the bat. 
 
 19 And 'every creeping thing that flieth is un 
 clean unto you : Hhey shall not be eaten. 
 
 20 But of all clean fowls ye may eat. 
 
 21 IT 'Ye shall not eat of any thing that dieth of 
 itself: thou shalt give it unto the stranger thatw in thy 
 gates, that he may eat it ; or thou may est sell it unto 
 an alien : m for thou art an holy people unto the Lor d t hy 
 God. "Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk. 
 
 22 "Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy 
 seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year. 
 
 23 p And thou shalt eat before the Lord thy God, in 
 the place which he shall choose to place his name there, 
 the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and 
 the 'firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that 
 thou mayest learn to fear the Lord thy God always

 thou art not able to carry it; or r if the place be 
 too far from thee, which the Lord thy God shall 
 choose to set his name there, when the Lord thy 
 God hath blessed thee : 
 
 25 Then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind 
 up the money in thine hand, and shalt go unto the 
 place which the Lord thy God shall choose : 
 
 26 And thou shalt bestow that money for what- 
 soever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, 
 or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever 
 thy soul fdesireth: 'and thou shalt eat there before 
 the Lord thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and 
 thine household, 
 
 27 And 'the Levite that is within thy gates; 
 thou shalt not forsake him: for "he hath no part 
 nor inheritance with thee. 
 
 28 1T x At the end of three years thou shalt bring 
 forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year, 
 and shalt lay it up within thy gates : 
 
 29 y And the. Levite, (because ~ he hath no part 
 nor inheritance with thee,) and the stranger, and

 1 The seventh year a year of release for the poor. 19 All firstling males 
 of cattle to be sanctified unto the Lord. 
 
 AT the end of a every seven years thou shalt make 
 a release. 
 
 2 And this is the manner of the release : Every 
 t creditor that lendeth aught unto his neighbour shall 
 release it; he shall not exact it of his neighbour, or of 
 his brother; because it is called the Lord's release. 
 
 3 6 Of a foreigner thou mayest exact it again: but 
 that which is thine with thy brother thine hand 
 shall release : 
 
 4 |i Save when there shall be no poor among you ; 
 'for the Lord shall greatly bless thee in the land 
 which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheri- 
 tance to possess it: 
 
 5 Only d if thou carefully hearken unto the voice 
 of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all these 
 commandments which I command thee this day. 
 
 6 For the Lord thy God blesseth thee, as he pro- 
 mised thee: and e thou shalt lend unto many nations, 
 but thou shalt not borrow; and -/"thou shalt reign 
 over many nations, but they shall not reign over thee. 
 
 7 H If there be among you a poor man of one of thy 
 brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which 
 the Lord thy God giveth thee, e thou shalt not harden 
 thy heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother: 
 
 8 A But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto 
 him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his 
 need, in that which he vvanteth. 
 
 9 Beware that there be not a f thought in thy 
 [wicked heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of 
 release, is at hand ; and thine 'eye be evil against thy 
 poor brother, and thou givest him nought; and *he cry 
 unto the Lord against thee, and 'it be sin unto thee. 
 
 10 Thou shalt surely give him, and '"thine heart 
 shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him : 
 because that "for this thing the Lord thy God shall 
 bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou 
 puttest thine hand unto.

 1 The Lord is the priests' and Levites' inheritance. 3 The priest's due. 
 15 Christ the prophet is to be heard. 
 
 THE priests the Levites, andsdl the tribe of Levi, 
 "shall havw no part nor inheritance with Israel: 
 ;hey 'shall eai the offerings of the Lord made by 
 fire, and his inheritance. 
 
 2 Therefore shall they have no inheritance among 
 their brethren : the Lord is their inheritance, as he 
 hath said unto them. 
 
 3 II And this shall be the priest's due from the 
 people, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether it 
 be ox or sheep; and r they shall give unto the priest 
 the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw. 
 
 4 ''The first-fruit also of thy corn, of thy wine, 
 and of thine oil, and the first of the fleece of thy 
 sheep, shalt thou give him. 
 
 5 For r the Lord thy God hath chosen him out 
 of all th} r tribes, -^to stand to minister in the name 
 of the Lord, him and his sons for ever. 
 
 6 IT And if a Levite come from any of thy gates 
 out of all Israel, where he s sojourned, and come 
 with aJl the desire of his mind '' unto the place which 
 the Lord shall choose; 
 
 7 Then he shall minister in the name of the Lord 
 his God, 'as all his brethren the Levites do, which 
 stand there before the Lord. 
 
 8 They shall have like k portions to eat, beside 
 fthat which cometh of the sale of his patrimony. 
 
 9 If When thou art come into the land which 
 the Lord thy God giveth thee, 'thou shalt not learn 
 to do after the abominations of those nations. 
 
 10 There shall not be found among you any one 
 that maketh his son or his daughter m to pass through 
 the fire, "or that useth divination, or an observer 
 of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, 
 
 11 "Or a charmer, or a consul ter with familiar 
 spirits, or a wizard, or a' necromancer. 
 
 12 For all that do these things are an abomina- 
 tion unto the Lord: and 'because of these abomi- 
 nations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from 
 before thee. 
 
 13 Thou shalt be || perfect with the Lord thy God. 
 
 14 For these nations, which thou shalt || possess, 
 hearkened unto observers of times, and unto di- 
 viners: but as for thee, the Lord thy God hath 
 not suffered thee so to do. 
 
 15 IF r The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a 
 Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, 
 like unto me ; unto him ye shall hearken. 
 
 16 According to all that thou desiredst of the 
 Lord tlrv God in Horeb 'in the day of the assembly, 
 saying, 'Let me not hear again the voice of the Lord 
 my God, neither let me see this great fire any more,

 15 Two witnesses at the least, 
 ment of a false witness. 
 
 WHEN the. Lord thy Gocl "hath cut off the na- 
 tions, whose land the Lord thy God giveth 
 thee, and thou f succeedest 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 the Lord thy God 
 giveth thee to possess it. 
 
 3 Thou shalt prepare thee a way, and divide the 
 coasts of thy land which the Lord thy God giveth 
 thee to inherit, into three parts, that every slayer 
 may flee thither. 
 
 4 II And c this is the case of the slayer, which shall 
 flee thither, that he may live : Whoso killeth his neigh- 
 bour ignorantly, whom he hated not fin 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 
 fhead slippeth from the twelve, and flighteth 
 upon his neighbour, that he die; he shall flee unto 
 one of these cities, and live : 
 
 6 rf Lest the avenger of the blood pursue the 
 slayer, while his heart is hot, and overtake Mm, 
 because the way is long, and f slay him ; whereas 
 he was not worthy of death, inasmuch as he hatei 
 him not fin time past. 
 
 7 Wherefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt 
 separate three cities for thee. 
 
 8 And if the Lord thy God e enlarge thy coast, as 
 he hath sworn unto thy fathers, and give thee all the 
 land which he promised to give unto thy fathers ; 
 
 9 If thou shalt keep all these commandments to 
 do them, which I command thee this day, to love 
 the Lord thy God, and to walk ever in his ways ; 
 •/"then shalt thou add three cities more for thee, 
 beside these three : 
 
 10 That innocent blood be not shed in thy land, 
 which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheri 
 tance, and so blood be upon thee. 
 
 11 HBut *if any man hate his neighbour, and 
 lie in wait for him, and rise up against him, and 
 smite him t mortally that he die, and fleeth into 
 one of these cities : 
 
 12 Then the elders of his city shall send and 
 fetch him thence, and deliver him into the hand of 
 the avenger of blood, that he may die. 
 
The punishment of a false witness. 
 
 13 h 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 IP Thou shalt not remove thy neighbour's land- 
 mark, which they of old time have set in thine in- 
 heritance, which thou shalt inherit in the land that 
 the Lord thy God giveth thee to possess it. 
 
 15 IT'One witness shall not rise up against a man 
 for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sin- 
 neth ; at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth 
 of three witnesses, shall the matter be established. 
 
 16 II If a false witness "'rise up against any man 
 to testify against him || that which is wrong; 
 
 17 Then both the men between whom the con- 
 troversy is shall stand before the Lord, "before the 
 priests and the judges, which shall be in those days; 
 
 18 And the judges shall make diligent inquisi- 
 tion : and behold, if the witness be a false witness, 
 and hath testified falsely against his brother ; 
 
 19 "Then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought 
 to have done unto his brother : so '' shalt thou put 
 the evil away from among you. 
 
 20 q And those which remain shall hear, and fear, 
 and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil 
 among you. 
 
 21 r And thine eye shall not pity; but 'life shall 
 ao for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for 
 hand, foot for foot.

 The pr text's exhortation to encourage the people to battle. 
 
 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 the Lord thy God is 4 with thee, which brought 
 thee up out of the land of Egypt. 
 
 2 And it shall be when ye are come nigh unto 
 the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak 
 unto the people, 
 
 3 And shall say unto them, Hear, Israel, ye 
 approach thiy day unto battle against your enemies : 
 let not your hearts t faint, fear not, and do not 
 t tremble, neither be ye terrified because of them ; 
 
 4 For the Lord your God is he that goeth with 
 you, c to fight for you against your enemies, to save you. 
 
 5 IT And the officers shall speak unto the people, 
 saying, What man is there that hath built a new 
 house, and hath not ''dedicated it? let him go and 
 return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and 
 another man dedicate it. 
 
 6 And what man is he that hath planted a vine- 
 yard, and hath not yet f eaten of it? let him also 
 go and return unto his house, lest he die in the 
 battle, and another man eat of it. 
 
 7 'And what man is there that hath betrothed a 
 wife, and hath not taken her ? let him go and return 
 unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another 
 man take her. 
 
 8 And the officers shall speak further unto the 
 people, and they shall say, f What man is there that 
 is fearful and faint-hearted ? let him go and return 
 unto his house, lest his brethren's heart t faint as 
 well as his heart. 
 
 9 And it shall be, when the officers have made 
 an end of speaking unto the people, that they shall 
 make captains of the armies fto lead the people. 
 
 10 IT When thou comest nigh unto a city to fight 
 against it. * then proclaim peace unto it.

 thy doings whereby thou hast forsaken me. 
 
 21 The Lord shall make r the pestilence cleave 
 unto thee, until he have consumed thee from oil 
 the land, whither thou goest to possess it. 
 
 22 ''The Lord shall smite thee with a consump 
 tion, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, 
 and with an extreme burning, and with the || sword, 
 and with 'blasting, and with mildew ; and they 
 shall pursue thee until thou perish. 
 
 23 And •'thy heaven that is over thy head shall 
 be brass, and the earth that is under thee shall be iron. 
 
 24 The Lord shall make the rain of thy land 
 powder and dust: from heaven shall it come down 
 upon thee, until thou be destroyed. 
 
 25 *The Lord shall cause thee to be smitten be- 
 fore thine enemies : thou shalt go out one way against 
 them, and flee seven ways before them; and '''shalt 
 be f removed into all the kingdoms of the earth. 
 
 26 And 'thy carcass shall be meat unto all fowls 
 of the air, and unto the beasts of the earth, and no 
 man shall fray them away. 
 
 27 The Lord will smite thee with *the botch of 
 Egypt, and with 'the emerods, and with the scab, 
 and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed. 
 
 28 The Lord shall smite thee with madness, and 
 blindness, and '"astonishment of heart: 
 
 29 And thou shalt "grope at noon-day, as the 
 blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not pros- 
 per in thy ways : and thou shalt be only oppressed 
 and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee. 
 
 30 "Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man 
 shall lie with her: /'thou shalt build an house, and 
 thou shalt not dwell therein: 9 thou shalt plant a 
 vineyard, and shalt not f gather the grapes thereof. 
 
 31 Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and 
 thou shalt not eat thereof: thine ass shall be violently 
 taken away from before thy face, and f shali not be re- 
 stored to thee : thy sheep shall be given unto thine 
 enemies, and thou shalt have none to rescue them. 
 
 32 Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given 
 unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and 
 r fail with longing for them all the day long: and 
 there shall be no might in thine hand. 
 
 33 'The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, 
 shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up : and 
 thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway : 
 
 34 So that thou shalt be mad 'for the sight ol

 35 The Lord shall "smite thee in the knees, and 
 in the legs, with a sore botch that cannot be healed, 
 from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head. 
 
 36 The Lord shall * bring thee, and thy king 
 which thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation which 
 neither thou nor thy fathers have known; and y there 
 shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone. 
 
 37 And thou shalt become "an astonishment, a 
 proverb, "and a by-word, among all nations whither 
 the Lord shall lead thee. 
 
 38 * Thou shalt carry much seed out into the 
 field, and shalt gather but little in: for c the locust 
 shall consume it. 
 
 39 Thou shalt plant vineyards and dress them, 
 but shalt neither drink of the wine, nor gather the

 55 So that he will not give to any of them of

 thee in all thy gates. 
 
 50 The tender and delicate woman among you, 
 which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot 
 upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, " her 
 eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, 
 and toward her son, and toward her daughter, 
 
 57 And toward her f young one that cometh out 
 r from between her feet, and toward her children 
 which she shall bear : for she shall eat them for want 
 of all things secretly in the siege and straitness where- 
 with thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates.

 THESE are the words of the covenant which the 
 Lord commanded Moses to make with the chil- 
 dren of Israel in the land of Moab, besides "the 
 covenant which he made with them in Horeb. 
 
 2 IT And Moses called unto all Israel, and said 
 unto them, ' Ye have seen all that the Lord did be- 
 fore your eyes in the land of Egypt unto Pharaoh, 
 and unto all his servants, and unto all his land ; 
 
 3 c The great temptations which thine eyes have 
 seen, the signs, and those great miracles : 
 
 4 Yet rf the Lord hath not given you an heart to per- 
 ceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day. 
 
 5 'And I have led you forty years in the wilder- 
 ness : •'"your clothes are not waxen old upon you. 
 and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot.

 9 *Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and 
 do them, that ye may 'prosper in all that ye do. 
 
 10 H Ye stand this day all of you before the Lord 
 your God; vour captains of your tribes, 3 r our ciders, 
 and your officers, with all the men of Israel, 
 
 11 Your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger 
 that is in thy camp, from m the hewer of thy wood, 
 unto the drawer of thy water: 
 
 12 That thou shouldest f enter into covenant with 
 the Lord thy God, and "into his oath, which the 
 Lord thy God maketh with thee this day : 
 
 13 That he may "establish thee to-day for a peo- 
 ple unto himself, and that he may be unto thee a God, 
 ''as he hath said unto thee, and ? as he hath sworn 
 unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. 
 
 14 Neither with you only 'do I make this cove- 
 nant and this oath; 
 
 15 But with him that standeth here with us this 
 day before the Lord our God, 'and also with him 
 that as 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 f idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which 
 were among them : ) 
 
 18 Lest there should be among you man, or wo- 
 man, or family, or tribe, 'whose heart turneth away 
 this day from the Lord our God, to go and serve the 
 gods of these nations; "lest there should be among 
 you a root that beareth || f gall and wormwood ; 
 
 19 And it come to pass, when he heareth the Avords 
 of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, say- 
 ing, I shall have peace, though I walk '"in the || ima- 
 gination of mine heart, x to add | drunkenness to thirst : 
 
 20 y The Lord will not spare him, but then z the 
 anger of the Lord and "his jealousy shall smoke 
 against that man, and all the curses that are written 
 in this book shall lie upon him, and the Lord ''shall 
 blot out his name from under heaven. 
 
 21 And the Lord c shall separate him unto evil out of 
 all the tribes of Israel according to all the curses of 
 the covenant that f are written in this book of the law : 
 
 22 So that the generation to come of your chil- 
 dren 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 sick- 
 nesses f which the Lord hath laid upon it; 
 
 23 And that the whole land thereof is brimstone 
 rf and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor bear- 
 et,h, nor any grass groweth therein, "like the over- 
 throw of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Ze- 
 boim, which the Lord overthrew in his anger and 
 in his wrath : 
 
 24 Even all nations shall say, ^'Wherefore hath 
 the Lord done thus unto this land? what meaneth 
 the heart of this great anger? 
 
 25 Then men shall say, Because they have for- 
 saken the covenant of the Lord 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 
 || whom he had not f given unto them : 
 
 27 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against 
 this land, s to bring upon it all the curses that are 
 written in this book : 
 
 28 And the Lord ''rooted them out of their land 
 
 Mercies promised unto the penitent.

 29 The secret things belong unto the Lord uui 
 God: but those things which are revealed belong unto

 Lord thy God hath driven thee. 
 
 2 And shalt ''return unto the Lord thy God, and 
 shalt obey his voice according to all that I command 
 thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine 
 heart, and with all thy soul; 
 
 3 e That then the Lord thy God will turn thy 
 captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will 
 return and ^'gather thee from all the nations whithei 
 the Lord thy God hath scattered thee. 
 
 4 *If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost 
 parts of heaven, from thence will the Lord thy God 
 gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee : 
 
 5 And the Lord 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 A the Lord thy God will circumcise thine 
 heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the Lord 
 thy God with all thine heart, and with all th} r soul, 
 that thou may est live. 
 
 7 And the Lord thy God will put all these curses 
 upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, 
 which persecuted thee. 
 
 8 And thou shalt return and obey the voice of 
 the Lord, and do all his commandments which I 
 command thee this day. 
 
 9 'And the Lord thy God will make thee plente- 
 ous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy 
 body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit 
 of thy land, for good : for the Lord will again * rejoice 
 over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers : 
 
 10 If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the 
 Lord thy God, to keep his commandments and his 
 statutes which are written in this book of the law, 
 and if thou turn unto the Lord thy God with all 
 thine heart and with all thy soul. 
 
 11 IT For this commandment which I command 
 thee this day, 'it is not hidden from thee, neither 
 is it far off. 
 
 12 m It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, 
 Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it untc 
 us, that we may hear it, and do it? 
 
 13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou should- 
 est say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring 
 it unto us, that we may hear it,and do it? 
 
 14 But the word* is very nigh unto thee, in thy 
 mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it. 
 
 15 USee, "I have set before thee this day V.% 
 and good, and death and evil; 
 
 16 In that I command thee this day to love the 
 Lord thy God, to walk in his wa} r s, and to keep his 
 commandments, and his statutes, and his judgments, 
 that thou mayest live and multiply : and the Lord 
 thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou 
 goest to possess it. 
 
Joshua encouraged: C 
 
 17 But if thine heart turn away, so that thou 
 wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and wor- 
 ship other gods, and serve them : 
 
 18 "1 denounce unto you this day, that ye shall 
 surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your 
 days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jor- 
 dan to go to possess it. 
 
 19 ''I call heaven and earth to record this day 
 against you, that 'I have set before you life and 
 death, blessing and cursing : therefore choose life, 
 that both thou and thy seed may live : 
 
 20 That thou may est love the Lord thy God, and 
 that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou 
 may est cleave unto him (for he is thy 'life, and the 
 length of thy days) that thou mayest dwell in the 
 land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers, to 
 Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.

 1 Moses encourageth the people, and Joshua. 9. He deliverelh the law 
 unto the priests. 14 God givelh a charge to Joshua. 
 
 AND Moses went and spake these words unto 
 all Israel. 
 
 2 And he said unto them, I " am an hundred and 
 twenty years old this day; I can no more 'go out 
 and come in: also the Lord hath said unto me, 
 c Thou shalt not go over this Jordan. 
 
 3 The Lord thy God, rf he will go over before 
 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 the Lord hath said. 
 
 4 "And the Lord shall do unto them *as he did 
 to Sihon, and to Og, kings of the Amorites, and 
 unto the land of them, whom he destroyed. 
 
 5 A And the Lord shall give them up before your 
 face, that ye may do unto them according unto all 
 the commandments which I have commanded you. 
 
 6 *Be strong and of a good courage, *fear not, 
 nor be afraid of them : for the Lord thy God, ' he 
 it is that doth go with thee, m he will not fail thee, 
 nor forsake thee. 
 
 7 II And Moses called unto Joshua, and said unto 
 him in the sight of all Israel, "Be strong and of a good 
 courage : for thou must go with this people unto the 
 land, which the Lord hath sworn unto their fathers 
 to give them; and thou shalt cause them to inherit it. 
 
 8 And the Lord, °he it is that doth go before thee ; 
 he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither 
 
 forsake thee : fear not, neither be dismayed. 
 
 9 IT And Moses wrote this law, 'and delivered it 
 unto the priests the sons of Levi, r which bare the 
 ark of the covenant of the Lord, and unto all the 
 eiders of Israel. 
 
 10 And Moses commanded them, saying, At the 
 end of every seven years, in the solemnity of the 
 'year of release, 'in the feast of tabernacles, 
 
 11 When all Israel is come to "appear before the 
 Lord thy God in the place which he shall choose, 
 * thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their 
 hearing. 
 
 12 ,J Gather the people together, men, and women, 
 and childien, and thy stranger that is within thy 
 gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, 
 and fear the Lord your God, and observe to do all 
 the words of this law : 
 
 13 And that their children "which have not known 
 miy thing, "may hear, and learn to fear the Lord 
 ,-our God, as long as ye live in the land whither 
 ve ko oa er Jordan to possess it

 14 II And the Lord said unto Moses, 'Behold, 
 thy days approach that thou must die: call Joshua, 
 and present yourselves in the tabernacle of the con- 
 
 fregation, that C I may give him a charge. And 
 loses and Joshua went and presented themselves 
 in the tabernacle of the congregation. 
 
 15 And ''the Lord appeared in the tabernacle in 
 a pillar of a cloud : and the pillar of the cloud stood 
 over the door of the tabernacle. 
 
 1G 11 And the Loud said unto Moses, Behold, 
 thou shalt t sleep with thy fathers, and this people 
 will "rise up, and 'go a whoring after the gods of 
 the strangers of the land, whither they go to be 
 among them, and will *' forsake me, and ''break my 
 covenant which I have made with them. 
 
 17 Then my anger shall be kindled against them 
 i 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 f befall them; so that 
 they will say in that day, 'Are 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 unto other gods. 
 
 19 Now therefore write ye this song for you, 
 and teach it the childien of Israel: put it in their 
 mouths, that this song may be "a witness for me 
 against the children of Israel. 
 
 20 For when I shall have brought them into the 
 land which I sware unto their fathers, that floweth 
 with milk and honey; and they shall have eaten 
 and filled themselves, ; 'and waxen fat; ¥ then will 
 they turn unto other gods, and serve them, and 
 provoke me, and break my covenant. 
 
 21 And it shall come to pass, ' when many evils and 
 troubles are befallen them, that this song shall testify 
 t against them as a witness : for it shall not be forgot- 
 ten out of the mouths of their seed : for 'I know their 
 imagination 'which fthey go about even now, before 
 I have brought them into the land which I sware. 
 
 22 U Moses therefore wrote this song the same 
 day, and taught it the children of Israel. 
 
 23 "And he gave Joshua the son of Nun a charge, 
 and said, 'Be strong and of a good courage : for thou 
 shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which 
 I sware unto them : and I will be with thee. 
 
 24 IT 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 which 
 bare the ark of the covenant of the Lord, saying, 
 
 26 Take this book of the law, z and put it in the 
 side of the ark of the covenant of the Lord your 
 God, that it may be there "for a witness against thee. 
 
 27 4 For I know thy rebellion, and thy 'stiff neck • 
 behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye 
 have been rebellious against the Lord; and how 
 much more after my death? 
 
 28 II Gather unto me all the elders of } r our tribes, 
 and your officers, that I may speak these words in 
 their ears, ''and call heaven and earth to record 
 against them. 
 
 29 For I know that after my death ye will ut- 
 terly 'corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the 
 wa}' which I have commanded you; and ■''evil wiL 
 befall you ? in the latter days; because } r e will do 
 evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to 
 anger through the work of vour hands.

 out iniquity, just and right is he. 
 
 5 f * They have corrupted themselves, || their 
 spot is not the spot of his children: they are a 'per- 
 verse and crooked generation. 
 
 6 Do ye thus m requite the Lord, foolish people 
 and unwise? is not he "thy father that hath "bought 
 thee? hath he not ^ made thee, and established thee? 
 
 7 IF Remember the days of old, consider the years 
 of fmany generations: 'ask thy father, and he will 
 shew thee ; thy elders, and they will tell thee. 
 
 8 When the Most High 'divided to the nations 
 their inheritance, when he * separated the sons of 
 Adam, he set the bounds of the people according 
 to the number of the children of Israel. 
 
 9 For ' the Lord's portion is his people ; Jacob is 
 the flot of his inheritance. 
 
 10 He found him "in a desert land, and in the 
 waste howling wilderness ; he || led him about, he 
 'instructed him, he y kept him as the apple of his 
 eye 
 
 11 a As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth 
 over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh 
 them, beareth them on her wings; 
 
 12 So the Lord alone did lead him, and there was 
 no strange god with him. 
 
 13 "He made him ride on 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 a at of the flinty rock ; 
 
 14 Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of 
 lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, 
 r with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst 
 drink the pure rf blood of the grape. 
 
 15 IF But e Jeshurun waxed fat, and /kicked : s thou 
 art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered 
 with fatness ; then he h forsook God which 'made him, 
 and lightly esteemed the *Rock of his salvation. 
 
 16 'They provoked him to jealousy with strange 
 gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger. 
 
 17 "'They sacrificed unto 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 begat thee thou art unmind- 
 ful, and hast "forgotten God that formed thee. 
 
 19 ^And when the Lord saw it, he || abhorred 
 them, 'because of the provoking of his sons, and of 
 his daughters. 
 
 20 And he said, 'I will hide my face from them, 
 I will see what their end shall be : for they are a very 
 fro ward generation, 'children in whom is no faith. 
 
 21 'They have moved me to jealousy with that 
 which is not God ; they have provoked me to anger 
 
 with their vanities: and 'I will move them to jea-l

 lousy with those which are not a people; I will pro- 
 voke them to anger with a foolish nation. 
 
 22 For ''a fire is kindled in mine anger, and || shall 
 burn unto the lowest hell, and || shall consume the. 
 earth with her increase, and set on fire the founda 
 tions of the mountains. 
 
 23 I will "heap mischiefs upon them; °1 will 
 spend mine arrows upon them. 
 
 24 They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured 
 Avith f burning heat, and with bitter destruction 
 I will also send Hhe teeth of beasts upon them, 
 with the poison of serpents of the dust. 
 
 25 c The sword without, and terror f within, shall 
 t destroy both the young man and the virgin, the 
 suckling also with the. man of gray hairs. 
 
 26 d I said, I would scatter them into corners, I 
 would make the remembrance of them to cea^e 
 from among men; 
 
 27 Were it not that I feared the wrath of the 
 enemy, lest their adversaries 'should behave them- 
 selves strangely, and lest they should J say, l| Our 
 hand is high, and the Lord hath not done all this. 
 
 28 For they are a nation void of counsel, e neither 
 is there any understanding in them. 
 
 29 *0 that they were wise, that they understood 
 this, 'that 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 the Lord had shut them up? 
 
 31 For '"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 gall, their clusters are bitter : 
 
 33 Their wine is ''the poison of dragons, and the 
 cruel 'venom of asps. 
 
 34 Is not this 'laid up in store with me, and 
 sealed up among my treasures ? 
 
 35 *To me belongeth vengeance, and recompense; 
 their foot shall slide in due time, for 'the day of 
 their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall 
 come upon them make haste. 
 
 36 "For the Lord shall judge his people, •'"and re- 
 pent himself for his servants ; when he seeth that 
 their f power is gone, and y there is none shut up, or left. 
 
 37 And ye shall say, "Where are their gods, their 
 rock in Avhom they trusted, 
 
 38 Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and 
 drank the wine of their drink-offerings? let them 
 rise up and help you, and be f your protection.

 of my hand. 
 
 40 ''For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I

 words to all Israel :

 day, which ye shall command your children to ob- 
 serve to do, all the words of this law. 
 
 47 For it is not a vain thing for you; "because 
 it is your life : and through this thing ye shall 
 long your days in the land whither ye go over 
 dan to possess it. 
 
 48 ''And the Lord spake unto Moses that self- 
 same day, saying, 
 
 49 Get thee up into this 'mountain Abarim, unto 
 mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is 
 over against Jericho ; and behold the land of Canaan 
 which I give unto the children of Israel for a pos- 
 session : 
 
 50 And die in the mount whither thou goestup, and 
 be gathered unto thy people; as 'Aaron thy brother 
 died in mount Hor, and was gathered unto his people : 
 
 51 Because *ye trespassed against me among the 
 children of Israel at the waters of || Meribah-Kadesh, 
 in the wilderness of Zin; because ye 'sanctified me 
 not in the midst of the children of Israel.

 thou shalt not go thither unto the land which I 
 give the children of Israel.

 AND this is "the blessing wherewith Moses 'the 
 man of God blessed the children of Israel be- 
 fore his death. 
 
 2 And he said, c The Lord came from Sinai, and 
 rose up from Seir unto them ; he shined forth from 
 mount Paran, and he came with d ten thousands of

 6 ULet Reuben live, and not die; and let not

 7 "IT And this is the blessing of Judah: and he said, 
 [fear, Lord, the voice of Judah, and bring him unto 
 his people : " let his hands be sufficient for him ; and 
 be thou "an help to him from his enemies. 
 
 8 \ And of Levi he said, ''Let thy Thummim and

 [trove at Massah, and ivit'h whom thou didst strive 
 •it the Avaters of Meribah ;

 fore thee all the days of thy life : J as I was with 
 Moses, so "I will be with thee: ''I will not fail thee, 
 nor forsake thee. 
 
 6 ; Be strong and of a good courage: for || unto 
 this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the 
 land which I sware unto their fathers to give them. 
 
 7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that 
 thou mayest observe to do according to all the law 
 * which Moses my servant commanded thee : 'turn 
 not from it to the right hand or to the left, that 
 thou mayest || prosper 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 accord- 
 ing to all that is written 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 a good courage ; p be not afraid, neither be thou 
 dismayed: for the Lord 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

 Rahab concealeth the two spies sent from Shiltim. 
 
 AND Joshua the son of Nun || sent ° out of Shittim 
 tAvo men to spy secretly, saying, Go A'iew the 
 land, even Jericho. And they AA T ent, and 6 came into 
 an harlot's house, named c Rahab, and f lodged there. 
 
 2 And rf 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 unto Rahab 
 saying, Bring forth the men that are come to thee, 
 Avhich are entered into thine house: for. they be 
 come to search out all the country. 
 
 4 e And the woman took the two 
 them, and said thus, There came men unto me, but 
 I wist not whence they were. 
 
 5 And it came to pass about the time of shutting 
 of the gate, Avhen it Avas dark, that the men Avent 
 out: Avhither the men Avent, I Avot not: pursue 
 after them quickly; for ye shall overtake them. 
 
 6 But •'she had brought them up to the roof of 
 the house, and hid them with the stalks of flax, 
 Avhich she had laid in order upon the roof.

 pursued after them were gone out, they shut the 
 
 The Lord encowagct/t Joshua 
 
 gate. 
 
 8 "1 And before they were laid down, she eame 
 up unto them upon the roof; 
 
 9 And she said unto the men, I know that the 
 Lord hath given you the land, and that *your terror 
 is fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of 
 the land j" faint because of you. 
 
 10 For we have heard how the Lord A dried up 
 the water of the Red sea for you, when ye came out 
 of Egypt; and 'what ye did unto the two kings of 
 the Amorites that were on the other side Jordan, 
 Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed. 
 
 1 1 And as soon as we had * heard these things, 
 'our hearts did melt, neither f did there remain any 
 more courage in any man, because of you: for m the 
 Lord your God, he is God in heaven above, and in 
 ear tli beneath. 
 
 12 Mow therefore, I pray you, "swear unto me 
 by the Lord, since I have shewed you kindness, 
 that ye will also shew kindness unto "my father's 
 house, and ''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 ffor 
 yours, if ye utter not this our business. And it 
 shall be, when the Lord hath given us the land, 
 that 'i we will deal kindly and truly with thee. 
 
 15 Then she r let them down by a cord through 
 the window : for her house zvas upon the town-wail, 
 and she dwelt upon the wall. 
 
 16 And she said unto them, Get you to the 
 mountain, lest the pursuers meet you; and hide 
 yourselves tnere three days, until the pursuers be 
 returned : and afterward may ye go your way. 
 
 17 And the men said unto her, We will be s blame- 
 less of this thine oath which thou hast made us swear. 
 
 18 'Behold, when we come into the land, thou 
 shalt bind this line of scarlet thread in the window 
 which thou didst let us down by: "and thou shalt 
 f bring thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, 
 and all thy father's household, home unto thee. 
 
 19 And it shall be, that whosoever shall go out 
 of the doors of thy house into the street, his blood 
 shall be upon his head, and we will be guiltless : and 
 whosoever shall be with thee in the house, ^his blood 
 shall be on our head, if any hand be upon him. 
 
 20 And if thou utter this our business, then we will 
 be quit of thine oath which thou hast made us to swear. 
 
 21 And she said, According unto your words, so 
 be it. And she sent them away, and they departed : 
 and she bound the scarlet line in the window. 
 
 22 And they went, and came unto the mountain, 
 and abode there three days, until the pursuers were 
 returned: and the pursuers sought them throughout 
 all the way, but found them not. 
 
 23 H So the two men returned, and descended from 
 the mountain, and passed over, and came to Joshua 
 the son of Nun, and told him all things that befell them : 
 
 24 And they said unto Joshua, Truly Hhe Lord 
 hath delivered into our hands all the land ; for even all 
 the inhabitants of the country do + faint because of us.

 there before they passed over. 
 
 2 And it came to pass ''after three days, that 
 the officers went through the host; 
 
 3 And they commanded the people, saying, c When 
 ye see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your 
 God, ''and the priests the Levites bearing it, then 
 ye shall remove from your place, and go after it. 
 
 4 e Yet there shall be a space between you and it, 
 about two thousand cubits by measure: come not 
 near unto it, that ye may know the way by which ye 
 must go : for ye have not passed this way f heretofore. 
 
 5 And Joshua said unto the people, J Sanctify 
 yourselves : for to-morrow the Lord will do won 
 ders among you. 
 
 6 And Joshua spake unto the priests, saying, 
 *Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass over 
 before the people. And they took up the ark of the 
 covenant, and went before the people. 
 
 7 IT And the Lord said unto Joshua, This da\ 
 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 Hhe priests that 
 bear the ark of the covenant, saying, When ye are 
 come to the brink of the w T ater of Jordan, 'ye shall 
 stand still in Jordan. 
 
 9 HAnd Joshuasaiduntothe children of Israel, Come 
 hither, and hear the words of the Lord your God. 
 
 10 And Joshua said, Hereby ye shall know thaf 
 "' the living God is among you, and that he will with- 
 out fail " 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 "the Lord 
 of all the earth passeth over before you into Jordan. 
 
 12 Now therefore Hake you twelve men out of 
 the tribes of Israel, out of every tribe a man. 
 
 13 And it shall come to pass, q as soon as the soles 
 of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the 
 Lord, r the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the 
 waters of Jordan, that the waters of Jordan shall 
 be cut off from the w T aters that come down from 
 above; and they * shall stand upon an heap. 
 
 14 IF And it came to pass, when the people removed 
 from their tents to pass over Jordan, and the priests 
 bearing the 'ark of the covenant before the people; 
 
 15 And as they that bare the ark were come unto 
 Jordan, and " the feet of the priests that bare the ark 
 were dipped in the brim of the water, (for x Jordan 
 overfloweth all his banks y all the time of harvest,) 
 
 16 That the waters which came down from above 
 stood and rose up upon an heap very far from the 
 city Adam, that is beside z Zaretan; and those that 
 came down "toward the sea of the plain, even 'the 
 salt sea, failed, and were cut off: and the people 
 passed over right against Jericho. 
 
 17 And the priests that bare the ark of the cove- 
 nant of the Lord stood firm on dry ground in the 
 midst of Jordan, c and all the Israelites passed over 
 on dry ground, until all the people were passed 
 clean over Jordan. 
 
 CHAP. IV. 
 
 Twelve men are appointed to take twelve stones for a mtrwial cut oj 
 
 Jordan. 
 
 AND it came to pass, when all the people were 
 clean passed a over Jordan, that th e Lorj> vspake 
 unto Joshua, saying, 
 
 163 
 
The Israelites pass over Jordan. 
 
 2 "Take you twelve men out of the people, out 
 if every tribe a man, 
 
 3 And command ye them, saying, Take } r ou 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 
 '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 every 
 tribe a man : 
 
 5 And Joshua said unto them, Pass over before 
 the ark of the Lord your God into the midst of 
 Jordan, and take you up eA'ery man of you a stone 
 upon his shoulder, according unto the number of 
 the tribes of the children of Israel: 
 
 6 That this may be a sign among you, that 'when 
 your children ask their fathers f in time to come, 
 saying, What mean ye by these stones ? 
 
 7 Then ye shall answer them. That f the waters of 
 Jordan Avere cut off before the ark of the covenant 
 of the Lord; Avhen it passed over Jordan, the Avaters 
 of Jordan Avere cut off: and these stones shall be for 
 'a memorial unto the children of Israel for ever. 
 
 8 And the children of Israel did so as Joshua com- 
 manded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst 
 of Jordan, as the Lord spake unto Joshua, according 
 to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel, 
 and carried them over Avith them unto the place 
 where they lodged, and laid them doAvn there. 
 
 9 IF And Joshua set up tAvelve stones in the 
 midst of Jordan, in the place where the feet of the 
 priests Avhich bare the ark of the covenant stood : 
 and they are there unto this day. 
 
 10 IF For the priests Avhich bare the ark stood in 
 the midst of Jordan, until every thing Avas finished 
 that the Lord commanded Joshua to speak unto the 
 people, according to all that Moses commanded 
 Joshua : and the people hasted and passed over. 
 
 11 And it came to pass, Avhen all the people Avere 
 clean passed over, that the ark of the Lord 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 Manasseh, passed over 
 armed before the children of Israel, as Moses spake 
 unto them : 
 
 13 About fort}'" thousand || prepared for Avar, 
 passed over before the Lord unto battle, to the 
 plains of Jericho. 
 
 14 IF On that day the Lord 'magnified Joshua 
 in the sight of all Israel, and they feared him as 
 they feared Moses, all the days of his life. 
 
 15 And the Lord spake unto 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, Avhen the priests that bare 
 the ark of the covenant of the Lord were come up 
 out of the midst of Jordan, and the soles of the 
 priests' feet were f lifted up unto the dry land, that 
 the waters of Jordan returned unto their place, 'and 
 t flowed over all his banks, as they did before. 
 
 19 IF And the people came up out of Jordan on 
 the tenth day of the first month, and encamped "'in 
 Gilgal, in the east border of Jericho. 
 
 20 And "those twelve stones Avhich they took 
 out of Jordan, did Joshua pitch in Gilgal.

 AND it came to pnss, Avhen all the kings of the 
 Amorites Avhich were on the side of Jordan 
 westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites "Avhich 
 were by the sea, ''heard that the Lord had dried up 
 the AA r aters of Jordan from before the children of 
 Israel, until Ave Avere passed over, that their heart 
 melted; c neither Avas there spirit in them any more, 
 because of the children of Israel. 
 
 2 IF At that time the Lord said unto Joshua, 
 Make thee || ''sharp knives, and circumcise again 
 the children of Israel the second time. 
 
 3 And Joshua made him sharp knives, and cir- 
 cumcised the children of Israel at || the hill of the 
 foreskins. 
 
 4 And this is the cause Avhy Joshua did circum- 
 cise : 'All the people that came out of Egypt, that were 
 males, even all the men of war died in the Avilder- 
 ness by the Avay, after they came out of Egypt. 
 
 5 Now all the people that came out were circum- 
 cised; but all the people that were born in the wil- 
 derness by the Avay as they came forth out of 
 Egypt, them they had not circumcised. 
 
 b For the children of Israel walked f forty years in 
 the wilderness, till all the people that tvere men of war 
 Avhich came out of Egypt Avere consumed, because 
 they obeyed not the voice of the Lord : unto whom 
 the Lord sware that A 'he Avould not sheAv them the 
 land Avhich the Lord sAvare unto their fathers that he 
 Avould 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 urt 
 circumcised, because they had not circumcised them 
 by the Avay. 
 
 8 And it came to pass, f Avhen they had done 
 circumcising all the people, that they abode in their 
 places in the camp, Hill they Avere whole. 
 
 9 And the Lord said unto Joshua, This day have 
 I rolled aAvay ' the reproach of Egypt from on you : 
 Wherefore the name of the place is called || "' Gilgal 
 unto this day. 
 
 10 IF And the children of Israel encamped in Gil- 
 gal, and kept the passover "on the fourteenth day 
 of the month at ..wen, in the plains of Jericho. 
 
 11 And they did eat of the old corn of the land 
 on the morrow after the passover, unleavened cakes 
 and parched corn in the self-same day. 
 
 12 IF And "the manna ceased on the morroAv after 
 they had eaten of the old corn 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 IF And it came to pass Avhen Joshua was by 
 Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and 
 behold, there stood ffi man over against him v with his 
 sword drawn in his hand : and Joshua went xmU 
 
loshua besicgeth Jericho :

 Tt is taken and burnt 
 
 him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our 
 adversaries ? 
 
 14 And he said, Nay; but as || captain of the host 
 of the Lord am I now come. And Joshua r fell on 
 his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto 
 him, What saith my lord unto his servant? 
 
 15 And the captain of the Lord's host said unto 
 Joshua, 'Loose thy shoe from off thy foot, for the 
 place whereon thou standest is holy : and Joshua 
 did so.

 22 Rahab is saved. 
 
 N 
 
 OW Jericho fwas straitly shut up, because of 
 the children of Israel: none went out, and 
 none came in. 
 
 2 And the Lord said unto Joshua, See, "I have 
 given into thine hand Jericho, and the b king thereof, 
 and the mighty men of valour. 
 
 3 And ye shall compass 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 f trumpets of ram's horns: and the seventh 
 day ye shall compass the city seven times, and ''the 
 priests shall blow with the trumpets. 
 
 5 And it shall come to pass, that when they 
 make a long blast with the rain's horn, and when ye 
 hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall 
 shout with a great shout : and the wall of the city 
 shall fall down t flat, and the people shall ascend up 
 every man straight before him. 
 
 6 IF And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, 
 and said unto them, Take up the ark of the cove- 
 nant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of 
 ram's horns before the ark of the Lord. 
 
 7 And he said unto the people, Pass on, and 
 compass the city, and let him that is armed pass on 
 before the ark of the Lord. 
 
 8 IF And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken 
 unto the people, that the seven priests bearing the 
 seven trumpets of ram's horns passed on before the 
 Lord, and blew with the trumpets : and the ark of 
 the covenant of the Lord followed them. 
 
 9 IF And the armed men went before the priests 
 that blew with the trumpets, ' and the t rere - war d 
 came after the ark, the priests going on, and blowing 
 with the trumpets. 
 
 10 And Joshua had commanded the people, say- 
 ing, Ye shall not shout, nor fniake any noise with 
 your voice, neither shall any word proceed out of 
 your mouth, until the day I bid you shout, then 
 shall ye shout. 
 
 11 So the ark of the Lord compassed the city, 
 going about it once : and they came into the camp, 
 and lodged in the camp. 
 
 12 IF And Joshua rose early in the 
 the priests took up the ark of the Lord 
 
 13 And seven priests bearing seven trumpets of 
 ram's horns before the ark of the Lord went on 
 continually, and blew with the trumpets: and the 
 armed men went before them; but the rere-ward 
 came after the ark of the Lord, 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

 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 unto the people, Shout; for the Lord hath 
 given you the city. 
 
 17 IF And the city shall be || accursed, even it, and 
 all that are therein, to the Loud: only Rahab the 
 harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the 
 house, because ^'she hid the messengers that we sent. 
 
 18 And ye, ''in anywise keep yourselves from the 
 accursed thing, lest ye make yourselves accursed, 
 when ye take of the accursed thing, and make the 
 camp of Israel a curse, 'and trouble it. 
 
 19 But all the silver, and gold, and vessels ot 
 brass and iron, are f consecrated unto the Lord: 
 they shall come into the treasury of the Lord. 
 
 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 
 f flat, 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 th* 
 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 unto 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, '"as ye sware unto her. 
 
 23 And the young men that were spies w T ent in, 
 and brought out Rahab, "and her father, and her 
 mother, and her brethren, and all that she had; 
 and they brought out all her f kindred, 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 the Lord. 
 
 25 And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, 
 and her father's household, and all that she had; 
 and ^she dwelleth in Israel even unto this day; 
 because she 
 to spy out Jericho 
 
 26 IF And Joshua adjured them at that time, say- 
 ing, 'Cursed be the man before the Lord, thatriseth 
 up and buildeth this city Jericho : he shall lay the 
 foundation thereof in his first-born, and in his 
 youngest son shall he set up the gates of it. 
 
 27 ''So the Lord w r as with Joshua; and 'his fame 
 was noised throughout all the country. 
 
 CHAP. VII. 
 
 1 The Israelites are smitten at Ai. 6 Joshua's complaint. 
 
 BUT the children of Israel committed a trespass 
 in the accursed thins; : for " || Achan, the son of 
 Carmi, the son of || Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the 
 tribe of Juclah, took of the accursed thing : and the 
 anger of the Lord 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 
 spake unto them, saying, Go up and view the 
 country. And the men went up and viewed Ai. 
 
 3 And they returned to Joshua, and said unto him, 
 Let not all the people go up ; but let f about two 01 
 three thousand men go up and smite Ai : and' make no( 
 all the people to labour thither ; for thev arc but few 
 
 156 
 
 hid the messengers which Joshua sent 
 
Israel smitten at Ai. 
 
 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 unto Shebarim, and smote them || in the 
 going down: wherefore f the hearts of the people 
 melted, and became as water. 
 
 6 IT And Joshua d rent his clothes, and fell to the 
 earth upon his face before the ark of the Lord until 
 the even-tide, he and the elders of Israel, and 'put 
 dust upon their heads. 
 
 7 And Joshua said, Alas ! Lord God, -^where- 
 fore hast thou at all brought this people over Jor- 
 dan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to 
 destroy us? would to God we had been content, 
 and dwelt on the other side Jordan ! 
 
 8 Lord, what shall I say, when Israel turneth 
 their f backs before their enemies ! 
 
 9 For the Canaanites, and all the inhabitants of 
 l he land shall hear of it, and shall environ us round, 
 find s cut off our name from the earth: and '' what 
 vilt thou do unto thy great name? 
 
 10 If And the Lord said unto Joshua, Get thee 
 up ; wherefore t liest thou thus upon thy face ? 
 
 1 1 'Israel hath sinned, and they have also trans- 
 gressed my covenant which I commanded them: 
 kfor 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 Avere accursed : 
 neither will I be with you any more, except ye 
 destroy the accursed from among you. 
 
 13 Up, "sanctify the people, and say, p Sanctify 
 yourselves against to-morrow : for thus saith the 
 Lord 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 ac- 
 cursed 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 ? the Lord taketh shall come according to the 
 families thereof; and the family which the Lord shall 
 take shall come by households ; and the household 
 which the Lord shall take shall come man by man. 
 
 15 '"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 the Lord, and because he 'hath wrought 
 || folly in Israel. 
 
 16 HSo Joshua rose up early in the morning, 
 and brought Israel by their tribes; aud 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 
 caken : 
 
 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 unto Achan, My son, ■''give, 
 I pray thee, glory to the Lord God of Israel, y and 
 make confession unto him; and z tell me now what 
 ihou hast done, hide it not from me. 
 
 20 And Achan answered Joshua, and said, In- 
 deed I have sinned against the Lord God of Israel 
 iml thiia and thus have 1 done.

 Joshua's stratagem against Ai 
 
 21 When I saw among the spoils a goodly Ba< 
 bylonish garment, and two hundred shekels of 
 silver, and a f wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight. 
 then I coveted them, and took them, and behold, 
 they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent,, 
 and the silver under it. 
 
 22 IF So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran 
 unto the tent, and behold, it was hid in his tent, and 
 the silver under it. 
 
 23 And they took them out of the midst of the 
 tent, and brought them unto Joshua, and unto all tha 
 children of Israel, and f laid them out before the Lord. 
 
 24 And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took 
 Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the 
 garment, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, anti 
 his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and him 
 sheep, and his tent, and all that he had : and they 
 brought them unto "the valley of Achor. 
 
 25 And Joshua said, ''Why hast thou troubled 
 us? the Lord shall trouble thee this day. c And ah 
 Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them 
 with fire, after they had stoned them with stones. 
 
 26 And they ''raised over him a great heap of stones 
 unto this day. So e the Lord turned from the fierce- 
 ness of his anger: wherefore the name of that place 
 was called, 'The valley of || Achor, unto this day. 
 
 CHAP. VIII. 
 
 1 God encourageth Joshua. 8 The stratagem wherehy Ai was taken 
 30 Joshua buildelh an altar. 33 Propoundeth blessings and cursings. 
 
 AND the Loud said unto Joshua, "Fear not, nei- 
 ther be thou dismayed : take all the people of 
 war with thee, and arise, go up to Ai: see, *1 have 
 given into thy hand the king of Ai, and his people, 
 and his city, and his land : 
 
 2 And thou shalt do to Aiand her king, as thou didst 
 unto "Jericho and her king: only d the spoil thereof, 
 and the cattle thereof, shall ye take for a prey unto 
 yourselves : lay thee an ambush for the city behind it. 
 
 3 TFSo 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, Behold, '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 unto 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 
 f drawn 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 the Lord 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 : according to the 
 commandment of the Lord shall ye do. 4 'See, I 
 have commanded you. 
 
 9 IT 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 morning, 
 and numbered the people, and went up, he and the 
 elders of Israel, before the people to Ai. 
 
At taken and burnt. 
 
 11 A And all the people, even 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 tons a valley between them and Ai. 
 
 12 And he took about five thousand men, and 
 sot 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 zvas on the north of the city, and ftheir 
 liers in wait on the west of the city, Joshua went 
 that night into the midst of the valley. 
 
 14 H And it came to pass when the king of Ai 
 saw it, that they hasted and rose up early, and the 
 men of the city went out against Israel to battle, 
 he and all his people, at a time appointed, before the 
 plain: but he 'wist not that there were liers in am- 
 bush 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 wilderness. 
 
 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 the Lord said unto Joshua, Stretch out 
 the spear that is in thine hand toward Ai ; for I will 
 give it into thine hand. And Joshua stretched out 
 the spear that he had in nis hand toward the city. 
 
 19 And the ambush arose quickly out of their 
 
 Elace, and they ran as soon as he had stretched out 
 is hand : and they entered into the city, and took 
 it, and hasted, and set the city on fire. 
 
 20 And when the men of Ai looked behind them, 
 they saw, and behold, the smoke of the city as- 
 cended up to heaven, and they had no f power to 
 flee this way or that way : and the people that fled 
 to the wilderness turned back upon the pursuers. 
 
 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 issued 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 wilderness wherein they chased them, and when 
 they were all fallen on the edge of the sword, until 
 they were consumed, that all the Israelites returned 
 unto 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, were twelve thousand, even all 
 the men of Ai. 
 
 26 For Joshua drew no' his hand back where- 
 with he stretched out the spear, until he had utterly 
 destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai. 
 
 27 m Only the cattle and the spoil of that city Israel 
 took for a prey unto themselves, according unto the 
 word of the Lord which he "commanded Joshua. 
 
 28 And Joshua burnt Ai, and made it "an heap 
 for ever, even a desolation unto this day. 
 
 29 ^And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until 
 even -tide : 'and as soon as the sun was down, Joshua

 commanded that they should take his carea-ja 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, that remaineth unto this day. 
 
 30 IF Then Joshua built an altar unto the Lord 
 God of Israel 'in mount Ebal, 
 
 31 As Moses the servant of the Lord 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 unto the Lord, and 
 sacrificed peace-offerings.. 
 
 32 IF And x 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, y which bare 
 the ark of the covenant of the Lord, as well - the 
 stranger, as he that was born among thein : half of 
 them over against mount Gerizim, and half of them 
 over against mount Ebal; "as Moses the servant of 
 the Lord had commanded before, that they should 
 bless the people of Israel. 
 
 34 And afterward ''he read all the words of the 
 law, r 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 Moses com- 
 manded, which Joshua read not before all the con- 
 gregation of Israel, ''with the women, and the little 
 ones, and e the strangers that fwere conversant 
 
 among them. 
 
 CHAP. IX. 
 
 1 The kings combine against Israel. 3 The Gibeonilcs, by craft, obtain a 
 
 league. 
 
 AND it came to pass, when all the kings which 
 tvere on this side Jordan, in the hills, and in 
 the valleys, and in all the coasts of " the great sea 
 over against Lebanon, *the Hittite, and the Amo- 
 rite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Ilivite, and 
 the Jebusite heard thereof; 
 
 2 That they ""gathered themselves together, to fight 
 with Joshua and with Israel, with one f accord. 
 
 3 IF And when the inhabitants of rf Gibeon r heard 
 what Joshua had done unto Jericho and to Ai, 
 
 4 They did work wilily, and went and made as 
 if they had been ambassadors, and took old sacks 
 upon their asses, and wine bottles, old, and rent, 
 and bound up; 
 
 5 And old shoes and clouted upon their feet, and 
 old garments upon them; and all the bread of their 
 provision was dry and mouldy. 
 
 6 And they went to Joshua Amto the camp at 
 Gilgal, and said unto him, and to the men of Israel, 
 We be come from a far country: now therefore 
 make ye a league with us. 
 
 7 And the men of Israel said unto the ^Hivites, 
 Peradventure ye dwell among us; and ''how shall 
 we make a league with you? 
 
 8 And they said unto Joshua, 'We are thy ser 
 vants. And Joshua said unto them, Who are ye' 
 and from whence come ye? 
 
 9 And they said unto him, *From a very fai 
 country thy servants are come, because of the name 
 of the Lord thy God: for we have 'heard the fame 
 of him, and all that he did in Egypt, 
 
 10 And '"all that he did to the two kings of the 
 Amorites, that were beyond Jordan, to Sihon kim< of 
 
 167 
 
Tlie GileonHes doomed to servitude. 
 
 lleshbon, and to Og king of Bashan, which was at 
 Ashtaroth. 
 
 11 Wherefore our elders, and all the inhabitants 
 of our country spake to us, saying, Take victuals 
 fwith you for the journey, and go to meet them, 
 and say unto them, We are your servants: there- 
 fore now make ye a league with us : 
 
 ] 2 This our bread we took hot for our provision 
 out of our houses on the day we came forth to go unto 
 you; but now, behold, it is dry, and it is mould v: 
 
 13 And these bottles of wine which we filled, 
 were new, and behold they be 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 at the mouth of the Lord. 
 
 15 And "Joshua made peace with them, and made 
 a league with them, to let them live : and the princes 
 of the congregation sware unto them. 
 
 16 If 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 unto their cities on the third day. Now their 
 cities were 'Gibeon, and Chephira, and Beeroth, 
 and Kirjath-jearim. 
 
 18 And the children of Israel smote them not, 
 'because the princes of the congregation had sworn 
 unto them by the Lord God of Israel. And all the 
 congregation murmured against the princes. 
 
 19 But all the princes said unto all the congrega- 
 tion, We have sworn unto them by the Lord God 
 of Israel : now therefore we may not touch them. 
 
 20 This we will do to them; we will even let 
 them live, lest 'wrath be upon us, because of the 
 oath which we sware unto them. 
 
 21 And the princes said unto them, Let them 
 live; but let them be 'hewers of wood, and drawers 
 of water unto all the congregation; as the princes 
 had 'promised them. 
 
 22 H And Joshua called for them, and he spake unto 
 them, saying, Wherefore have ye beguiled us, saying, 
 * We are very far from you; when *ye dwell among us ? 
 
 23 Now therefore ye are ^ cursed, and there shall 
 ■f none of you be freed from being bond-men, and 
 "hewers 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 the Lord 
 thy God ° commanded his servant Moses to give you 
 all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the 
 land from before you, therefore * we were sore afraid 
 of our lives because of you, and have done this thing. 
 
 25 And now, behold, we are c in thine hand: as it 
 seemeth good and right unto thee to do unto us, do. 
 
 26 And so did he unto them, and delivered them 
 out of the hand of the children of Israel, that they 
 slew them not. 
 
 27 And Joshua tmade them that day ''hewers 
 of wood and drawers of water for the congregation 
 and for the altar of the Lord, even unto this day, 
 'in the place which he should choose.

 Five kings war against Gibeon 
 
 and had utteily destroyed it; "as he had done 1o 
 Jericho and her king, so he had done to *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 Gibeon was 
 a great city, as one of the f royal cities, and because 
 it was greater than Ai, and all the men thereof were 
 mighty. 
 
 3 Wherefore Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem sent 
 unto Hoham king of Hebron, and unto Piram king 
 of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia king of Lachish, and 
 unto Debir king of Eglon, saying, 
 
 4 Come up unto me, and help me, that we may 
 smite Gibeon: f for it hath made peace with Joshua 
 and with the children of Israel. 
 
 5 Therefore the five kings of the Amorites. the 
 king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the kinir of 
 Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon. 
 ■/'gathered themselves together, and went up, they 
 and all their hosts, and encamped before Gibeon, 
 and made war against it. 
 
 6 IT And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua * to the 
 camp to Gilgal, saying, Slack not thy hand from t\v 
 servants; come up to us 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 IT And the Lord said unto Joshua, 'Fear them 
 not: for I have delivered them into thine hand; 
 * there shall not a man of them stand before thee. 
 
 9 Joshua therefore came unto them suddenly, 
 and went up from Gilgal all night. 
 
 10 And the Lord ' discomfited them before Israel, 
 and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, 
 and chased them along the way that goeth up "'to 
 Beth-horon, and smote them to "Azekah, and unto 
 Makkedah. 
 
 11 And it came to pass as the} /led from before 
 Israel, and were in the going down to Beth-horon, 
 "that the Lord cast down great stones from heaven 
 upon them unto Azekah, and they died : they toere- 
 more which died with hailstones than they whom 
 the children of Israel slew with the sword. 
 
 12 IF Then spake Joshua to the Lord in the day 
 when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before 
 the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of 
 Israel, ^Sun, f stand 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 themselves upon their 
 enemies. 'Is not this written in the book of || Jasher? 
 So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and 
 hasted not to go down about a whole day. 
 
 14 And there was J no day like that before it or 
 after it, that the Lord hearkened unto the voice 
 of a man: for 'the Lord fought for Israel. 
 
 15 II "And Joshua returned, and all Israel with 
 him, unto 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 Makkedah. 
 
 18 And Joshua said, Roll great stones upon the 
 mouth of the cave, and set men by it for to keep them : 
 
 19 And stay ye not, but pursue after your ene- 
 mies, and f smite the hindmost of them ; suffer them 
 
Five kings hanged. 
 
 not to enter into their cities: tor the Lord your 
 God hath delivered them into your hand. 
 
 2U 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 con- 
 sumed, that the rest which remained of them entered 
 into fenced cities. 
 
 21 And all the people returned to the camp to 
 Joshua at Makkodah in peace: x none moved his 
 tongue against any of the children of Israel. 
 
 22 Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, 
 and bring out those five kings unto me out of the cave. 
 
 23 And they did so, and brought forth those five 
 kings unto him out of the cave, the king of Jerusa- 
 lem, 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 unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all 
 the men of Israel, and said unto the captains of the 
 men of war which went with him, Come near, y 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 unto them, 'Fear not, nor 
 be dismayed, be strong and of good courage : for 
 ■thus shall the Lord 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 commanded, and they 
 'took them down off the trees, and cast them into the 
 cave wherein they had been hid, and laid great stones 
 in the cave's mouth, which remain until this very day. 
 
 28 If And that day Joshua took Makkedah, and 
 &mote it with the edge of the sword, and the king there- 
 of he utterly destroyed, them, and all the souls that 
 were therein; he let none remain: and he did to the 
 king of Makkedah ''as he did unto the king of Jericho. 
 
 29 Then Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all 
 Israel with him, unto Libnah, and fought against 
 Libnah : 
 
 30 And the Lord delivered it also, and the king 
 thereof, into the hand <}f Israel : and he smote it with 
 the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were 
 therein; he let none remain in it; but did unto the 
 king thereof as he did unto the king of Jericho. 
 
 3} IF And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all 
 Israel with him, unto Lachish, and encamped against 
 it, and fought against it: 
 
 32 And the Lord delivered Lachish into the hand of 
 Israel, which took it on the second day, and smote it 
 with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were 
 therein, according to all that he had done to Libnah. 
 
 33 Tf Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help 
 Lachish; and Joshua smote him and his people, 
 ■intil he had left him nDne remaining. 
 
 34 TFAnd from Lachish Joshua passed unto Eg- 
 lon, and all Israel with him : and they encamped 
 against it, and fought against it : 
 
 35 And they took it on that day, and smote it 
 with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that 
 were therein he utterly destroyed that day, accord- 
 ing to all that he had done to Lachish. 
 
 36 And Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel 
 with him, unto e Hebron; and they fought against it: 
 
 ^ 37 And they took it, and smote it with the edge 
 of the sword, and the king thereof, and all the

 Divers kings overcome at the waters of Merom. 
 
 AND it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor 
 had heard those things, that he "sent to Jobab 
 king of Madon, and to the king *of Shimron, and to 
 the king of Achshaph, 
 
 2 And to the kings that were on the north of the 
 mountains, and of the plains south of c Cinneroth, and 
 in the valley, and in the borders ''of Dor on the west, 
 
 3 And to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, 
 and to the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, 
 and the Jebusite in the mountains, f and to the Hivite 
 under J Hermon e in the land of Mizpeh. 
 
 4 And they went out, they and all their hosts 
 with them, much people, ''even as the sand that is 
 upon the sea-shore in multitude, with horses and 
 chariots very many. 
 
 5 And when all these kings were f met together, 
 they came and pitched together at the waters of 
 Merom, to fight against Israel. 
 
 6 HAnd the Lord said unto Joshua, 'Be not afraid 
 because of them: for to-morrow about this time will 
 I deliver them up all slain before Israel: thou shalt 
 * hough their horses, and burn their chariots with fire. 
 
 7 So Joshua came, and all the people of Avar 
 with him, against them by the waters of Merom 
 suddenly, and they fell upon them. 
 
 8 And the Lord delivered them into the hand of 
 Israel, who smote them, and chased them unto 
 || great Zidon, and unto 'HtMisrephoth-maim, and 
 unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward ; and they smote 
 them, until they left them none remaining. 
 
 9 And Joshua did unto them "'as the Lord bade 
 him : he houghed their horses, and burnt their 
 chariots with fire. 
 
 10 II And Joshua at that time turned back, and 
 took Hazor, and smote the king thereof with the 
 sword: for Hazor beforetime was the head of all 
 those kingdoms. 
 
 11 And they smote all the souls that were therein 
 with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying 
 them: there was not f any left to breathe: and he 
 burnt Hazor with fire.

Divers kings and cities 
 
 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 the Lord commanded. 
 
 13 But as for the cities that stood still fin their 
 strength, Israel burned none of them, save Hazor 
 only ; thai did Joshua burn. 
 
 14 And all the spoil of these cities, and the 
 cattle, the children of Israel took for a prey unto 
 themselves: but every man they smote with the 
 edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them, 
 neither left they any to breathe. 
 
 15 11° As the Lord commanded Moses his servant, 
 so ^did Moses command Joslma, and 'so did Joshua: 
 the left nothing undone of all that the Lord com- 
 manded Moses. 
 
 16 So Joshua took all that land, 'the hills, and 
 all the south country, 'and all the land of Goshen, 
 and tho valley, and the plain, and the mountain of 
 Israel, and the valley of the same; 
 
 17 ' Even from || the mount Halak, that goeth up 
 to Seir, even unto Baal-gad, in the valley of Leba- 
 non 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, save Hhe Ilivites the inhabit- 
 ants of Glbeon : all other they took in battle. 
 
 20 For "it was of the Lord 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, but that he might destroy them, 
 r as the Lord commanded Moses. 
 
 21 HAnd at that time came Joshua and cut off 
 "the Anakims from the mountains, from Hebron, 
 from Debir, from Anab, and from all the mountains 
 of Judah, and from all the mountains of Israel: 
 Joshua destroyed them utterly with their cities. 
 
 22 There was none of the Anakims left in the 
 land of the children of Israel: only in Gaza, in 
 
 Gath, r and in Ashdod, there remained. 
 
 28 So Joshua took the whole land, ''according- to 
 all that the Lord said unto Moses, and Joshua gave 
 it for an inheritance unto Israel e according to their 
 divisions by their tribes. -/And the land rested 
 from war.

 28 This is the inheritance of the children of Cad 
 after their families, the cities, and their villages. 
 
 29 HAnd Moses gave inheritance unto the hall-tribe 
 of Manasseh : and this was the possession of the half- 
 tribe of the children of Manasseh by their fenriMes. 
 
 30 And their coast was from Mahanaim, all 
 Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and 
 'all the towns of Jair, which are in Bashan, three- 
 score cities: 
 
 31 And half Gilead, and 'Ashtaroth, and Edrei, 
 cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were pertain- 
 ing unto the children of Machir the son of Manas- 
 seh, even to the one half of the " children of Machir 
 by their families. 
 
 32 These are the countries which Moses did dis- 
 tribute for inheritance in the plains of Moab, on 
 the other side Jordan by Jericho eastward. 
 
 33 a But unto the tribe of Levi, Moses gave not 
 any inheritance : the Lord God of Israel was their 
 inheritance, y as he said unto them.

 AND these are the countries which the children ot 
 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 6 By lot was their inheritance, as the Lord com- 
 manded by the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes, 
 and for the half-tribe. 
 
 3 "For Moses had given the inheritance of two 
 tribes and an half-tribe on the other side Jordan : 
 but unto the Levites he 
 among them. 
 
 4 For ''the children of Joseph were two tribes, 
 Manasseh and Ephraim : therefore they gave no 
 part unto the Levites in the land, save cities tu 
 dwell in, with their suburbs for their cattle, and 
 for their substance. 
 
 5 e As the Lord commanded Moses, so the children 
 of Israel did, and they divided the land. 
 
 6 H Then the children of Judah came unto Joshua 
 in Gilgal : and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the 
 ^'Kenezite said unto him, Thou knowest^the thing 
 that the Lord said unto Moses the man of God 
 concerning me and thee ''in Kadesh-barnea. 
 
 7 Forty years old teas I when Moses the servant 
 of the Lord 'sent me i'rom Kadesh-barnea to espy 
 out the land; and I brought him word again as // 
 ivas in mine heart. 
 
 8 Nevertheless, *my brethren that went up with 
 me made the heart of the people melt : but I wholly 
 'followed the Lord my God. 
 
 9 And Moses sware 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 the Lord my God. 
 
 10 And now, behold, the Lord hath kept me alive, 
 "as he said, these forty and five years, even since the 
 Lord spake this word unto Moses, while the children 
 of Israel \ wandered in the wilderness : and now, lo, 
 I am this day fourscore and five years old. 
 
 11 ''As yet I am as strong this day, as 1 was in 
 the day that 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 
 the Lord spake in that dav ; for thou heardest in that

 day how r the An.akims were there, and that the 
 cities were great and fenced: 'if so be the Lord 
 will be with me, then 'I shall be able to drive them 
 out, as the Lord said. 
 
 1 3 And Joshua " blessed him, r and gave unto Caleb 
 the son of Jephunneh, Hebron for an inheritance. 
 
 14 y Hebron therefore became the inheritance of 
 Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite unto this 
 day; because that he -wholly followed the Lord 
 God of Israel. 
 
 15 And "the name of Hebron before was Kirjath- 
 arba; which Arba was a great man among the Ana- 
 kims. 'And the land had rest from war.

 r§ ^HIS then was the lot of the tribe of the ch.il-

 border of Edom, the b wilderness of Zin southward 
 was the uttermost part of the south coast. 
 
 2 And their south border was from the shore of 
 the salt sea, from the f bay that looketh southward : 
 
 3 And it went out to the south side c to || Maaleh- 
 acrabbim, and passed along to Zin, and ascended up 
 on the south side unto Kadesh-barnea, and passed 
 along to Hezron, and went up to Adar, and fetched 
 a compass to Karkaa : 
 
 4 From thence it passed rf toward Azmon, and went 
 out unto the river of Egypt; and the goings out of that 
 coast were at the sea : this shall be your south coast. 
 
 5 And the east border zvas the salt sea, even unto 
 the end of Jordan : and their border in the north 
 quarter was from the bay of the sea, at the utter- 
 most part of Jordan : 
 
 6 And the border went up to e Beth-hogla, and 
 passed along by the north of Beth-arabah ; and the 
 border went up Ao the stone of Bohan the son of 
 Reuben : 
 
 7 And the border went up toward Debir from s the 
 valley of Achor, and so northward looking toward 
 Gilgal, that is before the going up to Adummim, 
 which is on the south side of the river: and the 
 border passed toward the waters of En-shemesh, 
 and the goings out thereof were at A En-rogel : 
 
 8 And the border went up *by the valley of the 
 son of Hinnom, unto the south side of the k Jebusite ; 
 the same is Jerusalem : and the border went up to 
 the top of the mountain 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 
 nill unto m the fountain of the water of Nephtoah, 
 and went out to the cities of mount Ephron; and 
 the border was drawn "to Baalah, which is "Kirjath- 
 jearim : 
 
 10 And the border compassed from Baalah west- 
 ward unto mount Seir, and passed along unto the 
 side of mount Jearim (which is Chesalon) on the 
 north side, and went down to Beth-shemesh, and 
 passed on to '' Timnah : 
 
 11 And the border went out unto the side of 
 « Ekron northward : and the border was drawn to 
 Shicron, and passed along to mount Baalah, and 
 went out unto Jabneel; and the goings out of the 
 border were at the sea. 
 
 12 And the west border was r to the great sea, and 
 the coast thereof: this is the coast of the children of 
 Judah round about, according to their families.

 that she moved him to ask of her father a field : 
 and d she lighted off her ass; and Caleb said unto 
 her, What wouldest thou? 
 
 19 Who answered, Give me a ^blessing; for thou 
 hast given me a south land, give me also springs 
 of water : and he gave her the upper springs, and

 out at Jordan. 
 
 8 The border went out from Tappuah westward

 2 There was also a lot for ''the rest of the children 
 of Manasseh by their families; 'for the children of 
 IIAbiezer, and for the children of Hoick, •''and for the 
 children of Asriel, and for the children of Shechem, 
 A 'and for the children of Hepher, and for the children 
 of Shemida : these were the male children of Ma- 
 nasseh the son of Joseph by their families. 
 
 3 IF But ''Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son 
 of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, 
 had no sons, but daughters : and these are the names 
 of his daughters, 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, *The Lord commanded Moses to 
 give us an inheritance among our brethren : there- 
 fore according to the commandment of the Lord he 
 gave them an inheritance among the brethren of 
 their father. 
 
 5 And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, be- 
 sides 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 Ma- 
 nasseh's sons had the land of Gilead. 
 
 7 IF And the coast of Manasseh was from Asher 
 to 'Michmethah, that lieth before Shechem; and 
 the border went along on the right hand unto the 
 inhabitants of En-tappuah. 
 
 8 Noio Manasseh had the land of Tappuah : but 
 '"Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to 
 the children of Ephraim : 
 
 9 And the coast descended " unto the Driver Kanah, 
 southward of the river. "These cities of Ephraim 
 are among the cities of Manasseh : the coast of Ma- 
 nasseh also was on the north side of the river, 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 p And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher f 
 'Beth-shean and her towns, and Ibleam and her 
 towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, 
 and the inhabitants of En-dor and her towns, and 
 the inhabitants of Taanach and her towns, and the 
 inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns, even three 
 countries. 
 
 12 Yet r the children of Manasseh could not drive 
 out the inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaan- 
 ites w r ould dwell in that land. 
 
 13 Yet it came to pass, when the children of Israel 
 w r ere waxen strong, that they put the Canaanites to 
 s tribute; but did not utterly drive them out. 
 
 14 'And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, 
 saying, Why hast thou given me bid "one lot and 
 one portion to inherit, seeing I am *a great people, 
 forasmuch as the Lord hath blessed me hitherto? 
 
 15 And Joshua answered them, If thou be a 
 great people, then get thee up to the wood-country, 
 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 Canaanites that dwell iL 
 the land of the valley have ''chariots of iron, both they

The remainder of the land divided. 
 
 whe are of Beth-shean and her towns, and the?/ who 
 are *of the valley of Jezreel. 
 
 17 And Joshua spake unto the house of Joseph, 
 even to Ephraim and to Manasseh, sa}'ing, 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 
 wood, and thou shalt cut it down: and the out- 
 goings of it shall be thine : for thou shalt drive out 
 the Canaanites, "though they have iron chariots, 
 and though they be strong.

 The tabernacle is set vp at Shiloh. 
 
 AND the whole congregation of the children of 
 Israel assembled together "at Shiloh, and 'set 
 up the tabernacle of the congregation there: and 
 the land was subdued before them. 
 
 2 And there remained among the children of 
 Israel seven tribes, which had not yet received 
 their inheritance. 
 
 3 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, 
 r How long; are ye slack to go to possess the land 
 which the Lord God of your fathers hath given you ? 
 
 4 Give out 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 coast on the south, and e the house 
 of Joseph shall abide in their coasts on the north. 
 
 6 Ye shall therefore describe the land into seven 
 parts, and bring the description hither to me, ■''that I 
 may cast lots for a>u here before the Lord our God. 
 
 7 *But the Levites have no part among you; for 
 the priesthood of the Lord is their inheritance : A and 
 Gad, and Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh, 
 have received their inheritance beyond Jordan on the 
 east, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave them. 
 
 8 II And the men arose, and went away: and 
 Joshua charged them that went to describe the land, 
 saying, Go, and walk through the land, and describe 
 it, and come again to me, that I may here cast lots 
 for you before the Lord in Shiloh. 
 
 9 And the men went and passed through the land, 
 and described it by cities into seven parts in a book, 
 and came again to Joshua to the host at Shiloh. 
 
 10 II And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh be- 
 fore the Lord : and there Joshua divided the land un- 
 to the children of Israel according to their divisions. 
 
 11 IT And the lot of the tribe of the children of 
 Benjamin came up according to their families : and 
 the coast of their lot came forth between the chil- 
 Iren 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 westward; and the goings out thereof 
 were at the wilderness of Beth-aven. 
 
 13 And the border went over from thence toward 
 'Luz, to the side of Luz (* which is Bethel) south- 
 ward; and the border descended to Ataroth-adar, 
 near the hill that lieth on the south side 'of the 
 nether Beth-horon.

 47 And k the coast of the children of Dan went out 
 too little for them : therefore the children of Dan 
 went up to fight against Leshem, and took it, and 
 smote it with the edge of the sword, and possessed 
 it, and dwelt therein, and called Leshem, 'Dan, 
 after the name of Dan their father. 
 
 48 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the

 Nun among them :

 him the city which he asked, even "' Timnath-" serah 
 in mount Ephraim: and he built the city, and 
 dwelt therein.

 priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of 
 the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel, di- 
 vided for an inheritance by lot fi in Shiloh before the 
 Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of the congrega 
 tion. So they made an end of dividing the country.

 1 God commundelh, 7 and the children of Israel appoint the six cities of

 THE Lord also spake unto Joshua, saying, 
 2 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, 
 "Appoint out for you cities of refuge, whereof 1 
 spake unto you by the hand of Moses : 
 
 3 That the slayer that killeth any person unr*- 
 wares and unwittingly, may flee thither; and they 
 shall be your refuge from the avenger of blood. 
 
 4 And when he that doth flee unto one of those 
 cities shall stand at the entering of* the gate of the 
 city, and shall declare his cause in the ears of the 
 elders of that city, they shall take him into tho 
 city unto them, and give him a place, that he may 
 dwell among them. 
 
 5 c And if the avenger of blood pursue after him, 
 then they shall not deliver the slayer up into his 
 hand; because he smote his neighbour unwittingly, 
 and hated him not beforetime. 
 
 6 And he shall dwell in that city, ''until he stand 
 before the congregation for judgment, and until the 
 death of the high priest that shall be in those days : 
 then shall the shiyer return, and come unto his own 
 city, and unto his own house, unto the city from 
 whence he fled.

 THEN came near the heads of the fathers of the 
 Levites unto "Eleazar the priest, and unto 
 Joshua the son of Nun, and unto the heads of the 
 fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel ; 
 
 2 And they spake unto them at b Shiloh in the 
 land of Canaan, saying, c The Lord commanded by 
 the hand of Moses to give us cities to dwell in, 
 with the suburbs thereof for our cattle. 
 
 3 And the children of Israel gave unto the Le- 
 vites out of their inheritance, at the commandment

 Lord 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 \ mentioned by name, 
 
 10 'Which the children of Aaron, being of the 
 families of the Kohathites, who were of the children

 CHAP. XXII. 
 
 The two tribes and half with a blessing are sent home. 
 
 THEN Joshua called the Reubenites, and the 
 Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, 
 
 2 And said unto them, Ye have kept "all that 
 Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, 'and 
 have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you : 
 
 3 Ye have not left your brethren these many 
 days unto this day, but have kept the charge of the 
 commandment of the Lord your God. 
 
 4 And now the Lord your God hath given rest 
 unto your brethren, as he promised them : therefore 
 now return ye, and get you unto your tents, and unto 
 the land of your possession, c which Moses the servant 
 of the Lord gave you on the other side Jordan. 
 
 5 But ''take diligent heed to do the command- 
 ment and the law, which Moses the servant of the 
 Lord charged you, e to love the Lord your God, and 
 to walk in all his ways, and to keep his command- 
 ments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve him 
 with all your heart, and with all your soul. 
 
 6 So Joshua J blessed them, and sent them away ; 
 and they went unto their tents. 
 
 7 UNow to the one half of the tribe of Manasseh, 
 Moses had given possession in Bashan : s but unto 
 the other half thereof gave Joshua among then- 
 brethren on this side Jordan westward. And when 
 Joshua sent them away also unto their tents, then 
 he blessed them, 
 
 8 And he spake unto them, saying, Return Avith 
 much riches unto your tents, and with very much 
 cattlo, Avith silver, and Avith gold, and Avith brass, 
 and with iron, and Avith very much raiment : * diA'ide 
 the spoil of your enemies Avith your brethren. 
 
 9 H And the children of Reuben, and the children 
 of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh returned, 
 and departed from the children of Israel out of 
 Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go unto 
 'the country of Gilead, to the land of their pos- 
 session, whereof they Avere possessed, according to 
 the word of the Lord by the hand of Moses. 
 
 10 HAnd Avhen they came unto the borders 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, a 
 great altar to see to. 
 
 11 HAnd the children of Israel * heard say , Be- 
 hold, 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 borders 
 of Jordan, at the passage of the children of Israel.

 the half-tribe of Manasseh, in'o the land of Gilead, 
 "Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, 
 
 14 And Avith him ten princes, of each f chief 
 house a prince throughout all the tribes of Israel; 
 and "each one was an head of the house of their 
 fathers among the thousands of Israel. 
 
 15 If And they came unto the children of Reu- 
 ben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half- 
 tribe of Manasseh, unto the land of Gilead. and 
 they spake Avith them, saying, 
 
 16 Thus saith the whole congregation of the Lord, 
 What trespass is this that ye have committed against 
 the God of Israel, to turn away this day from folloAv- 
 ing the Lord, in that ye have builded you an altar, 
 ''that ye might rebel this day against the Lord? 
 
 17 Is the iniquity «of Peor too little for us, from 
 Avhich Ave are not cleansed until this day, although 
 there Avas a plague in the congregation of the Lord, 
 
 18 But that ye must turn away this day from fol- 
 io Aving the Lord? and it will be, seeing ye rebel to- 
 day against the Lord, that to-morroAv r he will be 
 Avroth Avith the Avhole congregation of Israel. 
 
 19 NotAvithstanding, if the land of your pos- 
 session be unclean, then pass ye over unto the land 
 of the possession of the Lord, 'Avherein the Lord's 
 tabernacle dwelleth, and take possession among us : 
 but rebel not against the Lord, nor rebel against us, 
 in building you an altar beside the altar of the Lord 
 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 perished 
 not alone in his iniquity. 
 
 21 If Then the children of Reuben, and the chil- 
 dren of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh answered, 
 and said unto the heads of the thousands of Israel, 
 
 22 The Lord "God of gods, the Lord God of 
 gods, he *knoweth, and Israel he shall know; if it 
 be in rebellion, or if in transgression against the 
 Lord, (save us not this day,) 
 
 23 That Ave have built us an altar to turn from 
 folloAving the Lord, or if to otfer thereon burnt- 
 offering, or meat-offering, or if to offer peace-offer- 
 ings thereon, let the Lord himself y require it; 
 
 24 And if Ave have not rather done it for fear of 
 this thing, saying, fin time to come your children 
 might speak unto our children, saying, What have 
 ye to do Avith the Lord God of Israel? 
 
 25 For the Lord hath made Jordan a border 
 between us and you, ye children of Reuben and 
 children of Gad ; ye have no part in the Lord. So 
 shall your children make our children cease from 
 fearing the Lord. 
 
 26 Therefore Ave said, Let us noAv prepare to build 
 us an altar, not for burnt-offering, nor for sacrifice : 
 
 27 But that it may be x a Avitness betAveen us, and 
 you, and our generations after us, that Ave might "do 
 the service of the Lord before him with our burnt- 
 offerings, and Avith our sacrifices, and Avith our 
 peace offerings ; that your children may not say to 
 our children in time to come, Ye have no part in the 
 Lord. 
 
 28 Therefore said Ave, that it shall be, when tney 
 should so say to us or to our generations in time to 
 come, that Ave may say again, Behold the pattern of 
 the altar of the Lord, Avhich our fathers made, not 
 for burnt-offerings, nor for sacrifices; but it is a wit 
 ness betAveen us and you.

Joshuas exhortation. 
 
 29 God forbid that we should rebel against the 
 Lord, and turn this day from following tho Lord, * to 
 build an altar for burniVoffcrings, for meat-offerings, 
 or for sacrifices, beside the altar of the Lord our 
 God that is before his tabernacle. 
 
 30 If And when Phinehas the priest, and the princes 
 
 of the congregation, and heads of the thousands of 
 
 Israel which zvere with him, heard the words that the 
 
 •hildren of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and the 
 
 hildren of Manasseh spake, f it pleased them. 
 
 31 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest 
 said unto the children of Reuben, and to the chil- 
 dren of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, This 
 day we perceive that the Lord is c among us, because 
 ye have not committed this trespass against the 
 Lord: fnow ye have delivered the children of 
 Israel out of the hand of the Lord. 
 
 32 HAnd Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, 
 and the princes, returned from the children of Reu- 
 ben, and from the children of Gad, out of the land 
 of Gilead, unto 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 ''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 || Ed: for it shall be a witness 
 between us that the Lord is God.

 1 Joshua's exhortation beforehis death, 3 by former benefits, 5 by promises, 
 
 11 and by threatenings. 
 
 AND it came to pass, a long time after that the 
 Lord "had given rest unto Israel from all their 
 enemies round about, that Joshua b waxed old and 
 t stricken in age. 
 
 2 And Joshua "called for all Israel, and for their 
 elders, and for their heads, and for their judges, and 
 for their officers, and said unto them, I am old and 
 stricken in age : 
 
 3 And ye have seen all that the Lord your God 
 hath done unto all these nations because of you ; for 
 the rf LoRD your God is he that hath fought for you. 
 
 4 Behold, e I have divided unto you by lot these 
 nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your 
 tribes, from Jordan, with all the nations that I have 
 cut off, even unto the great sea f westward. 
 
 5 And the Lord your God, f he shall expel them 
 from before you, and drive them from out of your 
 sight; and ye shall possess their land, *'as the Lord 
 your God hath promised unto you. 
 
 6 A 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 unto them : 
 
 8 || But " cleave unto the Lord your God, as ye 
 have done unto this day. 
 
 9 || " For the Lord hath driven out from before 
 you great nations and strong : but as for you, "no man 
 iiath been able to stand before you unto this day. 
 
 10 /'One man of you shall chase a thousand: for 
 the Lord your God, he it is that fighteth for you, 
 
 2 as he hath promised you.

 1 Joshua assembleth the tribes in Shechem. 14 He reneiveth a covenant 
 between them and God. 
 
 AND Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to 
 "Shechem, and b called for the elders of Israel, 
 and for their heads, and for their judges, and for 
 their officers; and they presented themselves be- 
 fore God. 
 
 2 And Joshua said unto all the people, Thus 
 saith the Lord God of Israel, d Your fathers dwelt on 
 the other side of the flood in old time, even Terah, 
 the father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor : 
 and e they served other gods. 
 
 3 And f I took your father Abraham from the 
 other side of the flood, and led him throughout all 
 the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seed, and 
 ^gave him Isaac. 
 
 4 And I gave unto Isaac * Jacob and Esau : and 
 I gave unto '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 you out. 
 
 6 And I "brought your fathers out of Egypt: 
 and "ye came unto the sea; ^and the Egyptians 
 pursued after your fathers with chariots and horse- 
 men unto the Red sea. 
 
 7 And when they q cried unto the Lord, 'he put 
 darkness between you and the Egyptians, '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 wilderness "a long season. 
 
 8 And I brought you into the land of the Amo- 
 rites, which dwelt on the other side Jordan; 'and 
 they fought with you : and I gave them into youi 
 hand, that ye might possess their land: and I de- 
 stroyed them from before you. 
 
 9 Then "Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab 
 
Joshua reneii'dh the coienant. 
 
 aiose and warred against Israel, and "sent and 
 called Balaam the son of Beor to curse you: 
 
 10" But I would not hearken unto Balaam;* therefore 
 ne blessed you still : so I delivered you out of his hand. 
 
 11 And c } r e went over Jordan, and came unto Jeri- 
 cho: and ''the men 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 drave 
 them out from before you, even the two kings of the 
 Amorites : but Aiot with thy sword, nor with thy bow. 
 
 13 And I have given you a land for which ye did 
 not labour, and g cities which ye built not, and ye 
 dwell in them; of the vineyards and olive-yards 
 which ye planted not do ye eat. 
 
 14 IF ''Now therefore fear the Lord, and serve him 
 in 'sincerity and in truth; and *put away the gods 
 which your fathers served on the other side of the 
 flood, and 'in Egypt; and serve ye the Lord. 
 
 15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, 
 ""choose you this day whom ye will serve, whether 
 "the gods which your fathers served that were on the 
 other side of the flood, or ° the gods of the Amorites 
 in whose land ye dwell: /; but as for me and my 
 house, we will serve the Lord. 
 
 16 And the people answered, and said, God forbid 
 that we should forsake the Lord, to serve other gods ; 
 
 17 For the Lord our God, he it is that brought us 
 up, and our fathers, out of the land of Egypt, from 
 the house of bondage, and which did those great 
 signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way 
 wherein Ave went, and among all the people through 
 whom we passed : 
 
 18 And the Lord drave out from before us all the peo- 
 ple, even the Amorites which dwelt in the land : there- 
 fore will we also serve the Lord; for he is our God. 
 
 19 And Joshua said unto the people, 'Ye cannot 
 serve the Lord: for he is an 'holy God: he is s a 
 jealous God ; 'he will not forgive j'our transgressions, 
 nor your sins. 
 
 20 "If ye forsake the Lord, and serve strange 
 gods, r then he will turn and do you hurt, and con- 
 sume you, after that he hath done you good.

 this stone shall be* a witness unto us; for A it hath 
 heard all the words of the Lord which he spake 
 unto us : it shall be therefore a witness unto you, 
 lest ye deny your God. 
 
 28 So 'Joshua let the people depart, every mar. 
 unto his inheritance. 
 
 29 IT* And it came to pass after these things, that 
 Joshua the son of Nun the servant of the Lord died. 
 being an hundred and ten years old. 
 
 30 And they buried him in the border of his in- 
 heritance in 'Timnath-serah, which is in mount 
 Ephraim, on the north side of the hill of Gaash. 
 
 31 And m Israel served the Lord all the days of 
 Joshua, and all the days of the elders that t over- 
 lived Joshua, and which had "known all the works 
 of the Lord that he had done for Israel. 
 
 32 IT And "the bones of Joseph, Avhich the children 
 of Israel brought up out of Egypt, buried they in 
 Shechem, in a parcel of ground * which Jacob bought 
 of the sons of rlamor the father of Shechem for an 
 hundred || pieces of silver; and it became the inherit- 
 ance of the children of Joseph.

 1 The acts of Judah and Simeon. 8 Jerusalem taken. 21 The acts of 
 Benjamin, Manassch, ire. 
 
 NOW after the death of Joshua it came to pass, 
 that the children of Israel "asked the Lord, 
 saying, Who shall go up for us against the Canaan- 
 ites first to fight against them ? 
 
 2 And the Lord said, * Judah shall go up : be- 
 hold, I have delivered the land into his hand. 
 
 3 And Judah said unto Simeon his brother, Come 
 up with me into my lot, that we may fight against 
 the Canaanites; and C I likewise will go with thee 
 into thy lot. So Simeon went with him. 
 
 4 And Judah went up, and the Lord delivered 
 the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand: 
 and they slew of them in ' 7 Bezek ten thousand men. 
 
 5 And they found Adoni-bezek in Bezek: and 
 they, fought against him, and they slew the Canaan- 
 ites and the Perizzites. 
 
 6 But Adoni-bezek fled ; and they pursued after

 7 And Adoni-bezek said, Threescore and ten 
 kings, having f their thumbs and their great toes cut 
 off, || gathered their meat under my table ; "as I have 
 done, so God hath requited me. And they brought 
 him to Jerusalem, and there he died. 
 
 8 (Now Abe 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* And afterward the children of Judah went 
 down to fight against the Canaanites that dwelt in 
 the mountain, and in the south, and in the || valley. 
 
 10 And Judah went against the Canaanites that 
 dwelt in Hebron : (now the name of Hebron before 
 was ''Kirjath-arba:) and they slew Sheshai, and 
 Ahiman, and Talmai. 
 
 11 'And from thence he went against the In 
 habitants of Debir : and the name of Debir before was

 The acts of Judah, Benjamin, &c., 
 
 12 *And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjath- 
 sepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my 
 daughter to wife. 
 
 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, 'Caleb's 
 brother, took it: and 
 his daughter to 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 off her ass ; and Caleb said 
 xmto her, What wilt thou ? 
 
 15 And she said unto him, "Give me a blessing: 
 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 A of the city of palm-trees 
 with the children of Judah into the wilderness of 
 Judah, which lieth in the south of 'Arad; r and they 
 went and dwelt among the people. 
 
 17 'And Judah went with Simeon his brother, 
 and they slew the Canaanites that inhabited Ze- 
 phath, and utterly destroyed it. And the name of 
 the city was called 'Hormah. 
 
 18 Also Judah took "Gaza with the coast thereof, 
 and Askelon with the coast thereof, and Ekron 
 with the coast thereof. 
 
 19 And x the Lord was with Judah; and || he 
 arave out the inhabitants of the mountain ; but could 
 not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because 
 they had y chariots of iron. 
 
 20 z And they gave Hebron unto Caleb, as Moses 
 said : and he expelled thence the three sons of Anak. 
 
 21 "And the children of Benjamin did not drive 
 out the Jebusites that inhabited Jerusalem; but 
 the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin 
 in Jerusalem unto this day. 
 
 22 II And the house of Joseph, they also went up 
 against Beth-el: 'and the Lord was with them. 
 
 23 And the house of Joseph c sent to descry Beth- 
 el. Now the name of the city before was "Luz. 
 
 24 And the spies saw a man come forth out of 
 the city, and they said unto him, Shew us, we pray 
 thee, the entrance into the city, and ''we will shew 
 thee mercy. 
 
 25 And when he shewed them the entrance into 
 the city, they smote the city with the edge of the 
 swoid: but they let go the man and all his family. 
 
 26 And the man went into the land of the Hit- 
 tites, and built a city, and called the name thereof 
 Luz : which is the name thereof unto this day. 
 
 27 IKNeither did Manasseh drive out the inhabit- 
 ants of Beth-shean and her towns, nor Taanach and 
 her towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, 
 nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and her towns, nor 
 the inhabitants of Megiddo and her 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 U 4 ' Neither did Ephraim drive out the Canaan- 
 ites that dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt 
 in Grezer among them. 
 
 30 II Neither did Zebulun drive out the inhabit- 
 ants of Kitron, nor the h inhabitants of Nahalol ; but

 1 An angel rebitkelh the people at Bochim. 20 The Canaanites are left lo 
 
 prove Israel. 
 
 AND an || angel of the Lord came up from Gilgal 
 "to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out 
 of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which 
 I sware unto your fathers; and 4 I said, I will never 
 break my covenant with you. 
 
 2 And c ye shall make no league with the inhabit 
 ants of this land: ''ye shall throw down their altars 
 e but ye have not obeyed my voice: why have ye 
 done this? 
 
 3 Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out 
 from before you; but they shall be J' as thorns in your 
 sides, and s their gods shall be a ''snare unto you. 
 
 4 And it came to pass, when the angel of the LorI' 
 spake these words unto all the children of Israel, 
 that the people lifted up their voice, and wept. 
 
 5 And they called the name of that place || Bo- 
 chim : and they sacrificed there unto the Lord. 
 
 6 IT And when ' l Joshua had let the people go, the 
 children of Israel went every man unto his in- 
 heritance to possess the land. 
 
 7 *And the people served the Lord all the days of 
 Joshua, and all the days of the elders that f outlived 
 Joshua, who had seen all the great works of the 
 Lord, that he did for Israel. 
 
 8 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the 
 Lord, died, being an hundred and ten years old. 
 
 9 "And they buried him in the border of his 
 inheritance in " Tiinnath-heres, in the mount of 
 Ephraim, on the north side of the hill Gaash. 
 
 10 And also all that generation were gathered 
 unto their fathers: and there arose another gene 
 ration after them, which "knew not the Lord, nor 
 yet the works which he had done for Israel. 
 
 11 HAnd the children of Israel did evil in the 
 sight of the Lord, and served Baalim: 
 
 12 And they p forsook the Lord God of their 
 fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, 
 and followed ? other gods, of the gods of the people 
 that were round about them, and r bowed themselves 
 unto them, and provoked the Lord to anger. 
 
 13 And they forsook the Lord, 'and served Baal 
 and Ashtaroth. 
 
 14 HAnd the anger of the Lord was hot against 
 Israel, and he "delivered them into the hands of 
 spoilers that spoiled them, and a he sold them into the

 hands of their enemies round about, so that they 
 "could not any longer stand before their enemies. 
 
 15 "Whithersoever they went out, the hand of 
 the Lord was against them for evil, as the Lord had 
 said, and *as the Lord had sworn unto them: and 
 they were greatly distressed. 
 
 16 H Nevertheless "the Lord raised up judges, 
 which t delivered them out of the hand of those 
 that spoiled them. 
 
 17 And yet they would not hearken unto their 
 judges, but they 'went a whoring after other gods, and 
 bowed themselves unto them: they turned quickly 
 out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying 
 the commandments of the Lord; but they did not so 
 
 18 And when the Lord raised them up judges, 
 then c the Lord was with the judge, and delivered 
 them out of the hand of their enemies all the days 
 of the judge : ( d for it repented the Lord because of 
 their groanings 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 || corrupted themselves more 
 than their fathers, in following other gods to serve 
 them, and to bow down unto them; they f ceased not 
 from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way. 
 
 20 IV'And the anger of the Lord was hot against 
 Israel; and he said, Because that this people hath 
 
 transgressed my covenant which I commanded their 
 fathers, and have not hearkened unto 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 k prove Israel, 
 whether they will keep the way of the Lord to walk 
 (herein, as their fathers did keep it, or not. 
 
 23 Therefore the Lord || left those nations, with- 
 out driving them out hastily, neither delivered he 
 them into the hand of Joshua. 
 
 CHAP. III. 
 
 1 The nations which were left to prove Israel. 6 By communion with them 
 they commit idolatry. 
 
 NOW these are "the nations which the Lord left, 
 to prove Israel by them, {even as many of 
 Israel as had not known all the Avars of Canaan ; 
 
 2 Only that the generations of the children of 
 Israel might know to teach them war, at the least 
 such as before knew nothing thereof;) 
 
 3 Namely, 'five lords of the Philistines, and all 
 the Canaamtes, and the Sidonians, and the Plivites 
 that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baal- 
 hermon unto the entering in of Hamath. 
 
 4 And they were to prove Israel by them, to 
 know whether they would hearken unto the com- 
 mandments of the Lord, which he commanded their 
 fathers by the hand of Moses. 
 
 5 IF ''And the children of Israel dwelt among the 
 Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, 
 and Hivites, and Jebusites: 
 
 6 And 'they took their daughters to be their 
 wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and 
 served their gods. 
 
 7 J And the children of Israel did evil in the sight 
 of the Lord, and forgat the Lord their God, s and 
 served Baalim, and ''the groves.

 his raiment upon his right thigh.

 19 But he himself turned again a from the II quar- 
 ries that were by Gilgal, and said, 1 have a secret 
 errand unto thee, king: who said, Keep silence. 
 And all that stood by him went out from him. 
 
 20 And Ehud came unto him ; and he was sitting 
 in fa summer-parlour, which he had for himself 
 alone : and Ehud said, I have a message from God 
 unto thee. And he arose out of his seat. 
 
 21 And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the 
 dagger 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 dagger out of his belly; and || the dirt 
 came out. 
 
 23 Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and 
 shut the doors of the parlour upon him, and locked 
 them. 
 
 24 When he was gone out, his servants came; 
 and when they saAv that, behold, the doors of the 
 parlour were locked, they said, Surely he || covereth 
 his feet in his summer-chamber. 
 
 25 And they tarried till they Avere ashamed : and 
 behold, he opened not the doors of the parlour, there- 
 fore they took a key and opened them: and behold, 
 their lord was fallen doAvn dead on the earth. 
 
 26 And Ehud escaped while they tarried ; and pass- 
 ed beyond the quarries, and escaped into Scirath. 
 
 27 And it came to pass AA T hen he was come, that 
 y he blew a trumpet in the s mountain of Ephraim. 
 and the children of Israel went doAvn with him 
 from the mount, and he before them. 
 
 28 And he said unto them, FoIIoav after me : for 
 "the Lord hath delivered your enemies the Moa bites 
 into your hand. And they went doAvn after him, 
 and took *the fords of Jordan toward Moab, and 
 suffered not a man to pass over.

Ocborah and Barul: deliver Israel. 
 
 29 And they slew of Moab at that time about 
 ten thousand men, all t ms ty> and all men of valour: 
 and there escaped not a man. 
 
 30 So Moab was subdued that day under the hand 
 if Israel: and 'the land had rest fourscore years. 
 
 31 II And after him was d Shamgar the son of 
 Anath, which slew of the Philistines six hundred 
 men c with an ox-goad ; -^and he also delivered s Israel.

 4, 6 Deborah and Barak deliver Israel from Jabin and Si era. 
 
 AND "the children of Israel again did evil in the 
 sight of the Lord when Ehud was dead. 
 
 2 And the Lord 6 sold them into the hand of 
 Jabin king of Canaan that reigned in c Hazor, the 
 captain of whose host to as ''Sisera, which dwelt in 
 
 Harosheth of the Gentiles. 
 
 3 And the children of Israel cried unto the Lord; 
 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 Lapi- 
 doth, she judged Israel at that time. 
 
 5 ''And she dwelt under the palm-tree of Deborah, 
 between Ram ah 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 Abi- 
 noam out *of Kedesh-naphtali, and said unto him, 
 Hath not the Lord God of Israel commanded, say- 
 ing, Go, and draw toward mount Tabor, and take 
 with thee ten thousand men of the children of 
 Naphtali, and of the children of Zebulun ? 
 
 7 And 'I will draw unto thee, to the "'river 
 Kishon, Sisera the captain of Jabin's army, with 
 his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver 
 him into thine hand. 
 
 8 And Barak said unto 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 : not- 
 withstanding the journey that thou takest shall not 
 be for thine honour ; for the Lord shall " sell Sisera 
 into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, 
 and went with Barak to Kedesh. 
 
 10 IF And Barak called "Zebulun and Naphtali to 
 Kedesh; and he went up with ten thousand men 
 6 at his feet: and Deborah went up with him. 
 
 11 Now Heber «the Kenite, ivhich was of the 
 children of r Hobab the father-in-law of Moses, had 
 severed himself from the Kenites, and pitched his 
 tent unto the plain of Zaanaim, ' which is by Ke- 
 desh. 
 
 12 And they shewed Sisera that Barak the son 
 of Abinoam was gone up to mount Tabor. 
 
 13 And Sisera fgathered together all his chariots, 
 even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people 
 that were with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles 
 unto the river of Kishon. 
 
 14 And Deborah said unto Barak, Up; for this is 
 ihe day in which the Lord hath delivered Sisera 
 into thine hand: 'is not the Lord gone out before 
 thee? So Barak went down from mount Tabor, 
 and ten thousand men after him. 
 
 15 And "the Lord discomfited Sisera, and all his 
 chariots, and all his host, with the edge of the 
 sword before Barak; so that Sisera lighted down. 
 oft" his chariot,, and fled away on his feet. 
 
 16 But Barak pursued after the chariots, and 
 after the host, unto Harosheth of the Gentiles : and

 all the host of Sisera fell upon the 
 sword; and there was not fa man left. 
 
 17 Howbeit, Sisera fled away on his feet to the 
 tent of Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite : for thert 
 was peace between Jabin the king of Hazor and thi 
 house of Heber the Kenite. 
 
 18 IT And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said 
 unto him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me: fear not. 
 And when he had turned in unto her into the tent, 
 she covered him with a || mantle. 
 
 19 And he said unto her, Give me, I pray thee, 
 a little water to drink ; for I am thirsty. And she 
 opened *a bottle of milk, and gave him drink, and 
 covered him. 
 
 unto her, Stand in the door of

 and say, Is there any man 
 
 21 Then Jael Heber's wiie y tork a nail of the 
 tent, and ftook an hammer in hei hand, and went 
 softly unto him, and smote the nail into his temples, 
 and fastened it 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 unto 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 nail zvas in his temples. 
 
 23 So 2 God subdued on that day Jabin the king 
 of Canaan before the children of Israel. 
 
 24 And the hand of the children of Israel f pros 
 pered, and prevailed against Jabin the king of Ca. 
 naan, until they had destroyed Jabin king of Canaan.

 The song of Deborah and Barak. 
 
 THEN "sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abi- 
 noam on that day, saying, 
 
 2 Praise ye the Lord for the * avenging of Israel, 
 c when the people willingly offered themselves. 
 
 3 ''Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, 
 even I, will sing unto the Lord ; I will sing praise 
 to the Lord God of Israel. 
 
 4 Lord, e 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 Avater. 
 
 5 *The mountains f melted from before the Lord, 
 even ''that Sinai from before the Lord God of Israel. 
 
 6 In the days of 'Shamgar the son of Anath, in 
 the days of *Jael, 'the highways were unoccupied, 
 and the t travellers walked through + by-ways. 
 
 7 The inhabitants of the villages ceased, they 
 ceased in Israel, until that I Deborah arose, that 1 
 arose '"a mother in Israel. 
 
 8 They "chose new gods; then was war in the 
 gates : "was there a shield or spear seen among

 9 My heart is toward the governors of Israei 
 that p oitered themselves willingly among the people: 
 Bless ye the Lord. 
 
 10 || 'Speak, ye 'that ride on white asses, 'ye

 11 They that are delivered from the noise of

The song of Deborah and Barak. 
 
 12 u Awake, t awake, Deborah; awake, awake, 
 utter a song: arise, Barak, and 'lead thy captivity

 13 Then he made him that remaineth ^have do- 
 minion over the nobles among the people : the Lord 
 made me have dominion over the mighty. 
 
 14 z Out of Ephraim ivas there a root of them " against 
 Amalek; after thee, Benjamin, among thy people; 
 out of 'Machir came down governors, and out of 
 Zebulun they that f handle the pen of the writer. 
 
 15 And the princes of Issacnar were with Debo- 
 rah ; even Issachar, and also c Barak : he was sent on 
 \ foot into the valley. II For the divisions of Reuben 
 there tvere great f thoughts 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 'Gilead abode beyond Jordan: and why did 
 Dan remain in ships? -^Asher continued on the 
 sea-|| shore, and abode in his || breaches. 
 
 18 * Zebulun and Naphtali tvere a people that 
 tjeoparded their lives unto the death in the high 
 places of the field. 
 
 19 The kings came and fought, then fought the 
 kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Me- 
 giddo; ''they took no gain of money. 
 
 20 'They fought from heaven; *the stars in their 
 f courses fought against Sisera. 
 
 21 'The river of Kishon swept them away, that 
 ancient river, the river Kishon. my soul, thou 
 hast trodden down strength. 
 
 22 Then were the horse-hoofs broken by the means 
 of the Hprancings, the prancings of their mighty ones. 
 
 23 Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of the Lord, 
 curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof; '"because 
 they came not to the help "of the Lord, to the help 
 of the Lord against the mighty. 
 
 24 Blessed above women shall " Jael the wife of 
 lleber the Kenite be, >' blessed shall she be above 
 women in the tent. 
 
 25 9 He asked water, and she gave him milk; she 
 brought forth butter in a lordly dish. 
 
 26 r She put her hand to the nail, and her right hand 
 to the workmen's hammer ; and f with the hammer 
 she smote Sisera, she smote off his head, when she 
 had pierced and stricken through his temples. 
 
 27 fAt her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay down: 
 at her feet he bowed, he fell: where he bowed, 
 there he fell down f dead. 
 
 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 wheels of his chariots? 
 
 29 Her wise ladies answered her, yea, she re- 
 turned f answer to herself, 
 
 30 'Have they not sped ? have they not divided the 
 prey ; f to every man a damsel or two ; to Sisera a prey 
 of divers colours, a prey of divers colours of needle- 
 work, of divers colours of needle-work on both sides, 
 meet for the necks of them that taJce the spoil?

 Gideon sent to deliver Jsruel 
 
 2 And the hand of Midian f prevailed apainst 
 Israel: and because of the Midianites the children 
 of Israel made them c the dens which are in the 
 mountains, and caves, and strong holds. 
 
 3 And so it was, when Israel had sown, thai 
 
 Midianites came up, and ''the Amalekites, 'and 
 
 the 
 
 the 
 
 children of the east, even they came up against tin m : 
 
 4 And they encamped against them, and •'de- 
 stroyed the increase of the earth, till thou come unto 
 Gaza; and left no sustenance for Israel, neither 
 || sheep, nor ox, nor ass. 
 
 5 For they came up with their cattle and their 
 tents, and they came A 'as grasshoppers for multitude* 
 for both they and their camels were without num- 
 ber: and they entered into the land to destroy it. 
 
 6 And Israel was greatly impoverished because 
 of the Midianites; and the children of Israel ''cried 
 unto the Lord. 
 
 7 H And it came to pass, when the children of Is- 
 rael cried unto the Lord because of the Midianites, 
 
 8 That the Lord sent f a prophet unto the children 
 of Israel, which said unto them, Thus saith the Lorp 
 God of Israel, I brought you up from Egypt, and 
 brought you forth out of the house of bondage ; 
 
 9 And I delivered you out of the hand of the 
 Egyptians, and out of the land of all that oppressed 
 you, and 'drave them out from before you, and 
 
 ga.ve you their land; 
 10 And I said unto 
 
 you, I am the Lord your 
 
 God ; *fear not the gods of the Amorites, in whose 
 land ye dwell: but ye have not obeyed my voice. 
 
 11 IT And there came an angel of the Lord, and 
 sat under an oak which ivas m Ophrah, that per- 
 tained unto Joash 'the Abi-ezrite : and his son "'Gi- 
 deon threshed wheat by the wine-press, fto hide 
 it from the Midianites. 
 
 12 And the "angel of the Lord appeared unto 
 him, and said unto him, The Lord is "with thee, 
 thou mighty man of valour. 
 
 13 And Gideon said unto him, O my Lord, if the 
 Lord be with us, why then is all this befallen us? 
 and ^where be all his miracles 9 which our fathers told 
 us of, saying, Did not the Lord bring us up from 
 Egypt? but now the Lord hath 'forsaken us, and 
 delivered us into the hands of the Midianites. 
 
 14 And the Lord looked upon him, and said, 'Go 
 in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from 
 the hand of the Midianites: 'have not I sent thee? 
 
 15 And he said unto him, O my Lord, wherewith 
 shall I save Israel? behold, "fmy family is poor in 
 Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house. 
 
 16 And the Lord said unto him, * Surely I will 
 be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites 
 as one man. 
 
 17 And he said unto him, If now I have found 
 grace in thy sight, then y shew me a sign that thou 
 talkest with me. 
 
 18 z Depart not hence, I pray thee, until I come un- 
 to thee, and bring forth my || present, and set it before 
 thee. And he said, I will tarry until thou come again. 
 
 19 U "And Gideonwent in, and made ready fa kid .and 
 unleavened cakes of an ephah of flour: the flesh he 
 put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot, and 
 brought it out unto him under the oak, and presented it. 
 
 20 And the angel of God said unto him, Take the 
 flesh and the unleavened cakes, and 4 lay them upon 
 this rock, and f pour out the broth. And he did su. 
 
 21 HThen the angel of the Lord put forth the 
 
Gideon destroy eth Baal's altar: 
 
 end of the staff that was in his hand, and touched 
 uhe flesh and the unleavened cakes; and ''there rose 
 up fire uiit of the lock, and consumed the flesh and 
 the unleavened cakes. Then the angel of the Lord 
 departed out of his sight. 
 
 22 And when Gideon 'perceived that he was an 
 angel of the Lord, Gideon said, Alas, Lord God! 
 J for because I have seen an angel of the Lord face 
 to face. 
 
 23 And the Lord said unto him, g Peace be unto 
 thee ; fear not : thou shalt not die. 
 
 24 Then Gideon built an altar there unto the 
 Lord, and called it || Jehovah-shalom : unto this day 
 it is yet ''in Ophrah of the Abi-ezrites. 
 
 25 HAnd it came to pass the same night, that 
 the Lord said unto 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 unto the Lord thy God upon 
 the top of this frock, || 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 the Lord had said unto him : and so it 
 was, because he feared his father's household, and 
 the men of the city, that he could not do it by day, 
 that he did it by night. 
 
 28 II And when the men of the city arose early 
 m 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 inquired and asked, they 
 said, Gideon the son of Joash hath done this thing. 
 
 30 Then the men of the city said unto Joash, 
 Bring out thy son, that he ma}' 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 unto all that stood against him, 
 Will ye plead for Baal? will ye save him? he that 
 will plead for him, let him be put to death whilst it 
 i? yet morning: if he be a god, let him plead for 
 bimself, because one hath cast down his altar. 
 
 32 Therefore on that day he called him || fc Jerub- 
 baal, saying, Let Baal plead against him, because 
 he hath thrown down his altar. 
 
 33 "[[Then all 'the Midianites, and the Amalek- 
 ites, and the children of the east were gathered 
 together, and went over, and pitched in '"the A^alley 
 of Jezreel. 
 
 34 But " the Spirit of the Lord f came upon Gi- 
 deon, and he "blew a trumpet; and Abi-ezer f was 
 gathered after him. 
 
 35 And he sent messengers throughout all Manas- 
 seh; who also was gathered after him: and he sent 
 messengers unto A slier, and unto Zebulun, and 
 unto Naphtali; and they came up to meet them. 
 
 36 II And Gideon said unto God, If thou wilt 
 save Israel by my hand, as thou hast said, 
 
 37 *' 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 besides, 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 together, and wringed 
 the dew out of the fleece, a bowl-full of water.

 His army and stratagem. 
 
 39 And Gideon said unto God, 'Let not thine 
 anger be hot against me, and I will speak but this 
 once : let me prove, 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.

 the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground

 h undred. 
 
 THEN "Jerubbaal (who is Gideon) and all the 
 people that were with him, rose up early and 
 pitched beside the well of Harod : so that the host 
 of the Midianites were on the north side of them 
 by the hill of Moreh, in the valley. 
 
 2 And the Lord said unto Gideon, The people that 
 are with thee are too many for me to give the Mi- 
 dianites into their hands, lest Israel b vaunt themselves 
 against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me. 
 
 3 Now therefore go to, proclaim in the ears of the 
 
 Eeople, saying, 'Whosoever is fearful and afraid, let 
 im return and depart early from mount Gilead. 
 And there returned of the people twenty and two 
 thousand ; and there remained ten thousand. 
 
 4 And the Lord said unto Gideon, The people 
 are yet too many; bring them down unto the water, 
 and I will try them for thee there ; and it shall be 
 that of whom 1 say unto thee, This shall go with 
 thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whom 
 soever I say unto thee, This shall not go with thee, 
 the same shall not go. 
 
 5 So he brought down the people unto the water : 
 and the Lord said unto Gideon; Every one that 
 lappeth of the water with his tongue as a dog lap- 
 peth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every 
 one that boweth down upon his knees to drink. 
 
 6 And the number of them that lapped, pidting 
 their hand to their mouth, were three hundred 
 men: but all the rest of the people bowed down 
 upon their knees to drink water. 
 
 7 And the Lord said unto Gideon, rf By the three 
 hundred men that lapped will I save you, and de- 
 liver the Midianites into thine hand : and let all the 
 other people go every man unto his place. 
 
 8 So the people took victuals in their hand, and 
 their trumpets: and he sent all the rest of Israel 
 every man unto his tent, and retained those three 
 hundred men. And the host of Midian was be 
 neath him in the valley. 
 
 9 HAnd it came to pass the same 'night, that 
 the Lord said unto him, Arise, get thee down unto 
 the host; for I have delivered it into thine hand. 
 
 10 But if thou fear to go down, go thou with 
 Phurah tlry servant down to the host: 
 
 11 And thou shalt •'hear what they say; and 
 afterward shall thine hands be strengthened to go 
 down unto the host. Then went he down with 
 Phurah his servant unto the outside of the H armed 
 men that were in the host. 
 
 12 And the Midianites, and the Amalekites, and 
 fall the children of the east, lay along in the valley 
 like grasshoppers for multitude; and their camels 
 were without number, as the sand by the sea-si ie 
 for multitude. 
 
 13 And when Gideon was come, behold, there was 
 a man that told a dream unto his fellow, and said, 
 Behold, 1 dreamed a dream, and lo, a cake of bar- 
 ley-bread tumbled into the host of Midian, and came 
 
17ie Midianites overthrown. 
 
 unto ;i tent, and smote it that it fell, and overturned 
 t that the tent lay along. 
 
 14 And his fellow answered, and said, This is 
 nothing else save the sword of Gideon the son of 
 Joash, a man of Israel: for into his hand hath God 
 delivered Midian, and all the host. 
 
 15 IT And it was so, when Gideon heard the 
 telling of the dream, and fthe interpretation there- 
 of, that he worshipped, and returned into the host 
 of Tsrael, and said, Arise; for the Lord hath de- 
 livered into your hand the host of Midian. 
 
 16 And he divided the three hundred men into three 
 companies, and he put fa trumpet in every man's hand, 
 with empty pitchers, and || lamps within the pitchers. 
 
 17 And he said unto them, Look on me, and do 
 likewise: and behold, when I come to the outside 
 Df the camp, it shall be that as I do, so shall ye do. 
 
 18 When I blow with a trumpet, I and all that 
 ire with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on 
 every side of all the camp, and say, The sivord of 
 the Lord, and of Gideon. 
 
 19 IF So Gideon, and the hundred men that were 
 with him, came unto the outside of the camp in the 
 beginning of the middle watch; and they had but 
 newly set the watch : and they blew the trumpets, 
 and brake the pitchers that were in their hands. 
 
 20 And the three companies blew the trumpets, 
 and brake the pitchers, and held the lamps in their 
 left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to 
 blow loiihul : and they cried, The sword of the Lord, 
 and of Gideon. 
 
 21 And they h stood every man in his place round 
 ibout the camp; 'and all the host ran, and cried, 
 and fled. 
 
 22 And the three hundred A 'blew the trumpets, and 
 'the Lord set '"every man's sword against his fellow, 
 even throughout all the host : and the host fled to 
 Beth-shittah || in Zererath, and to the f border of 
 Abel-meholah, unto Tabbath. 
 
 23 And the men of Israel gathered themselves 
 together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out 
 of all Manasseh, and pursued after the Midianites. 
 
 24 IF And Gideon sent messengers throughout all 
 "mount Ephraim, saying, Come down against the 
 Midianites, and take before them the waters unto 
 Beth-barah and Jordan. Then all the men of Ephraim 
 gathered themselves together, and "took the waters 
 unto '' Beth-barah and Jordan. 
 
 25 And they took q 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, 
 aud pursued Midian, and brought the heads of Oreb 
 and Zeeb to Gideon on the 'other side Jordan.

 AND "the men of Ephraim said unto him, f Why 
 hast thou served us thus, that thou calledst us 
 not when thou wentest to fight with the Midian- 
 ites? and they did chide with him f sharply. 
 
 2 And he said unto them, What have I done now

 over, he, and the three hundred men that were with 
 him, faint, yet pursuing them. 
 
 5 And he said unto the men of ''Succoth, Give. J 
 pray you, loaves of bread unto the people Hint fol- 
 low me : for they be faint, and I am pursuing after 
 Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian. 
 
 6 IFAnd the princes of Succoth said. 'Are the 
 hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thine hand, 
 that r we should give bread unto thine army ? 
 
 7 And Gideon said, Therefore when the Lord 
 hath delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into mine 
 hand, Hhen I will ftear your flesh with the thorns 
 of the wilderness and with briers. 
 
 8 IT And he went up thence ''to Penuel, and spake 
 unto them likewise: and the men of Penuel answered 
 him as the men of Succoth had answered him. 
 
 9 And he spake also unto the men of Penuel, 
 saying, When I 'come again in peace, *I will break 
 down this tower. 
 
 10 IF 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 chil- 
 dren of the east: for there fell || an hundred and 
 twenty thousand men that drew sword. 
 
 11 II And Gideon went up by the way of them that 
 dwelt in tents on the east of "'Nobah and Jogbehah, 
 and smote the host: for the host was "secure. 
 
 12 And when Zebah and Zalmunna fled, he pur- 
 sued after them, and "took the two kings of Midian, 
 Zebah and Zalmunna, and f discomfited all the host. 
 
 13 1F And Gideon the son of Joash returned 
 from battle before the sun was up, 
 
 14 And caught a young man of the men of Suc- 
 coth, and inquired of him : and he described unto 
 him the princes of Succoth, and the elders thereof, 
 even threescore and seventeen men. 
 
 15 And he came unto the men of Succoth, and 
 said, Behold Zebah and Zalmunna, with whom ye 
 did p upbraid me, saying, Are the hands of Zebah and 
 Zalmunna now in thine hand, that we should give 
 bread unto thy men that are weary ? 
 
 16 'And he took the elders of the city, and 
 thorns of the wilderness, and briers, and with them 
 he t taught the men of Succoth. 
 
 17 r And he beat down the tower of 'Penuel, and 
 slew the men of the city. 
 
 18 IF Then said he unto Zebah and Zalmunna, 
 What manner of men were they whom ye slew at 
 'Tabor? And they answered, As thou art, so wcrt 
 they; each one f resembled the children of a king. 
 
 19 And he said, They were my brethren, even 
 the sons of my mother : as the Lord liveth, if ye 
 had saved them alive, I would not slay you. 
 
 20 And he said unto Jether his first-born, Up, 
 and slay them. But the youth drew not his sword : 
 for he feared, because he teas yet a youth. _ 
 
 21 Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, Rise thou, 
 and fall upon us : for as the man is, so is his strength. 
 And Gideon arose, and "slew Zebah and Zalmunna, 
 and took away the || ornaments that were on their 
 camels' necks. 
 
 22 IF men the men of Israel said unto Gideon, 
 Rule thou over us, both thou, and thy son, and thv 
 son's son also : for thou hast delivered us from the 
 hand of Midian. 
 
 23 And Gideon said unto them, I will not rule 
 over you, neither shall my son rule over von : * the 
 Lord shall rule over you.

Gideon's children: his death. 
 
 24 IF And Gideon said unto them, I would desire 
 a request of you, that you would give me every man 
 the ear-rings of his prey. (For they had golden 
 ear-rings. y because they were Ishmaelites.) 
 
 25 And they answered, We will willingly give 
 them. And they spread a garment, and did cast 
 therein every man the ear-rings of his prey. 
 
 26 And the weight of the golden ear-rings that he 
 requested, was a thousand and seven hundred shekels 
 of gold ; beside ornaments, and || collars, and purple 
 raiment that was on the kings of Midian, and beside 
 the chains that were about their camels' necks. 
 
 27 And Gideon z made an ephod thereof, and 
 put it in his city, even a in Ophrah : and all Israel 
 'went thither a whoring after it: which thing be- 
 came r a snare unto Gideon, and to his house. 
 
 28 TIThus was Midian subdued before the chil- 
 dren 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 HAnd Jerubbaal the son of Joash went and 
 dwelt in his own house. 
 
 30 And Gideon had 'threescore and ten sons f of 
 his body begotten : for he had man} r wives. 
 
 31 J And his concubine that was in Shechem,shealso 
 bare him a son, whose name he f called Abimelech. 
 
 32 U And Gideon the son of Joash died ff in a good 
 old age, and was buried in the sepulchre of Joash 
 nis father, A in Ophrah of the Abi-ezrites. 
 
 33 And it came to pass 'as soon as Gideon was 
 dead, that the children of Israel turned again, and 
 k went a whoring after Baalim,.' and made Baal-berith 
 their god. 
 
 34 And the children of Israel m remembered not 
 the Lord 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, according to all the 
 goodness which he had shewed unto Israel.

 Abimelech, by conspiracy with the Shechemites, and murder of his brethren, 
 
 is made king 
 
 AND Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal went to 
 Shechem unto "his mother's brethren, and 
 communed with them, and with all the family of 
 the house of his mother's father, saying, 
 
 2 Speak, I pray } r ou, in the ears of all the men of 
 Shechem, f Whether is better for you, either that all 
 the sons of Jerubbaal, which are b threescore and ten 
 persons reign over you, or that one reign OA^er you ? 
 remember also that I am c your bone and your flesh. 
 
 3 And his mother's brethren spake of him in the 
 ears of all the men of Shechem all these words: 
 and their hearts inclined f to follow Abimelech ; for 
 they said, He is our d brother. 
 
 4 And they gave him threescore and ten pieces 
 of silver out of the house of e Baal-berith, wherewith 
 Abimelech hired J vain and light persons, which fol- 
 lowed him. 
 
 5 And he went unto his father's house s at Ophrah, 
 and A slew his brethren the sons of Jerubbaal, being 
 threescore and ten persons, upon one stone : not- 
 withstanding, yet Jotham the youngest son of Jerub- 
 baal was left; for he hid himself. 
 
 6 And all the men of Shechem gathered together, 
 and all the house of Millo, and went and made 
 Abimelech king, fby the plain of the pillar that 
 was in Shechem.

 Jotham s parable. 
 
 7 IF And when they told it to Jotham, he went 
 and stood in the top of 'mount Gerizim, and lifted 
 up his voice, and cried, and said unto them, Hearken 
 unto me, ye men of Shechem, that God may hearken 
 unto you. 
 
 8 *The trees went forth on a time to anoint a king 
 over them; and they said unto the olive-tree, 'lleign 
 thou over us. 
 
 9 But the olive-tree said unto them, Should I 
 leave my fatness, '"wherewith by me they honour 
 God and man, and fgo to be promoted over the trees? 
 
 10 And the trees said to the fig-tree, Come thou, 
 and reign over us. 
 
 11 But the fig-tree said unto them, Should I 
 forsake my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go 
 to be promoted over the trees? 
 
 12 Then said the trees unto the vine, Come 
 thou, and reign over us. 
 
 13 And the vine said unto them, Should I 
 my wine, "which cheereth God and man, and 
 be promoted over the trees ? 
 
 14 Then said all the trees unto the 
 Come thou, and reign over us. 
 
 15 And the bramble said unto the trees, If in truth 
 ye anoint me king over you, then come and put your 
 trust in my "shadow : and if not, /J let fire come our 
 of the bramble, and devour the ? cedars of Lebanon. 
 
 16 Now therefore, if ye have done truly and 
 sincerely, in that ye have made Abimelech king, 
 and if ye have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his 
 house, and have done unto him r according to the 
 deserving of his hands : 
 
 _ 17 (For my father fought for you, and fadventured 
 his life faiyind delivered you out of the hand of Midian: 
 
 18 'And ye are risen up against my father's 
 house this day, and have slam his sons, threescore 
 and ten persons, upon one stone, and have made 
 Abimelech, the son of his maid-servant, king over 
 the men of Shechem, because he is your brother:) 
 
 19 If ye then have dealt truly and sincerely 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 Abimelecn, 
 and devour the men of Shechem, and the house of 
 Millo ; and let fire come out from the men of Shechem, 
 and from the house of Millo, and devour Abimelech. 
 
 21 And Jotham ran away, and fled, and went to 
 r Beer, and dwelt there, for fear of Abimelech his 
 brother. 
 
 22 TlWhen Abimelech had reigned three years 
 over Israel, 
 
 23 Then ^God sent an evil spirit between Abi- 
 melech and the men of Shechem ; and the men of 
 Shechem "dealt treacherously with Abimelech: 
 
 24 "That the cruelty done to the threescore and 
 ten sons of Jerubbaal might come, and their bloou 
 be laid upon Abimelech their brother which slew 
 them, and upon the men of Shechem which f aided 
 him in the killing of his brethren. 
 
 25 And the men of Shechem set Hers 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. 
 
 26 And Gaal the son of Ebed came with his 
 brethren, and went over to Shechem: and the men 
 of Shechem put their confidence in him. 
 
 27 And they went out into the fields, and gathered 
 their vineyards, and trode the grapes, and made |l mer- 
 
Lr cuil's conspiracy. 
 
 ry, and went into *the house of their god, and did 
 eat and drink, and cursed Abimelcch. 
 
 28 And Gaal the son of Ebed said, 'Who is Abi- 
 rnelech, and wlo is Shechem, that we should serve 
 him? is not he the son of Jerubbaal? and Zebul 
 his officer? serve the men of 'Hamor the father of 
 Shechem: for why should we serve him? 
 
 29 And 'wouldto God this people were under my 
 hand ! then would I remove Abnnelech. And he said 
 to Abnnelech, Increase thine army, and come out. 
 
 30 II 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 unto Abimelech 
 t privily, saying, Behold, Gaal the son of Ebed, and 
 his brethren, be come to Shechem; and behold, 
 they fortify the city against thee. 
 
 32 Now therefore up by night, thou, and the peo- 
 ple that is with thee, and lie in wait in the field : 
 
 33 And it shall be, that in the morning, as soon 
 as the sun is up, thou shalt rise early, and set upon 
 the city : and behold, when he and the people that 
 is with him come out against thee, then mayest 
 tnou do to thern fas thou shalt find occasion. 
 
 34 HAnd Abimelech rose up, and all the people 
 that 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 people that were with 
 him. from lying in w r ait. 
 
 36 And when Gaal saw the people, he said to Ze- 
 bul, Behold, there come people down from the top of 
 the mountains. And Zebul said unto him, Thou seest 
 the shadow of the mountains as if they were men. 
 
 37 And Gaal spake again, and said, See, there come 
 people down by the f middle of the land, and another 
 company come along by the plain of || Meonenim. 
 
 38 Then said Zebul unto him, Where is now thy 
 mouth, wherewith thou ^'saidst, Who is Abimelech, 
 that we should serve him? is not this the people 
 that thou hast despised? go out, I pray now, and 
 fight with them. 
 
 39 And Gaal went out before the men of Shechem, 
 and fought with Abimelech. 
 
 40 And Abimelech chased him, and he fled be- 
 fore him, and many were overthrown and wounded, 
 even unto the entering of the gate. 
 
 41 And Abimelech dwelt at Arumah : and Zebul 
 thrust out Gaal and his brethren, that they should 
 not dw T ell in Shechein. 
 
 42 And it came to pass en the morrow, that the peo- 
 ple 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 toere come forth out of the 
 city; and he rose up against them, and smote them. 
 
 44 And Abimelech, and the company that was 
 with him, rushed forward, and stood in the enter- 
 ing of the gate of the city : and the two other com- 
 panies ran upon all the people that were in the fields, 
 and slew them. 
 
 45 And Abimelech fought against the city all 
 that day; and *he took the city, and slew -the 
 people that" was therein, and A beat down the city, 
 and sowed it with salt. 
 
 46 HAnd when all the men of the tower of She- 
 chem heard that, they entered into an hold of the 
 
 house 'of + he god Berith.

 47 And it was told Abimelech, that all the men 
 of the tower of Shechem were gathered together. 
 
 48 And Abimelech gat him up to mount *Zalmon. 
 he and all the people that wire with him; and Abime 
 lech took an axe in his hand, and cut down a bough 
 from the trees, and took it, and laid it on his; shoulder, 
 and said unto the people that were with him, What ye 
 have seen fine do, make haste, and Ho as 1 have done. 
 
 49 And all the people likewise cut down every 
 man his bough, and followed Abimelech, and puf 
 them to the hold, and set the hold on tire upon them : 
 so that all the men of the tower of Shechem died 
 also, about a thousand men and women. 
 
 50 11 Then went Abimelech to Thebez, and en- 
 camped against Thebez, and took it. 
 
 51 But there was a strong tower within the city, 
 and thither fled all the men and women, and all 
 they of the city, and shut it to them, and gat them 
 up to the top of the tower. 
 
 52 And Abimelech came unto the tower, and 
 fought against it, and went hard unto the door of 
 the tower to burn it with fire. 
 
 53 And a certain woman 'cast a piece of a mill- 
 stone upon Abimelech's head, and all to brake his 
 skull. 
 
 54 Then m he called hastily unto the young man 
 his armour-bearer, and said unto 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 Abime- 
 lech was dead, they departed every man unto his place. 
 
 56 T'Thus God rendered the wickedness of Abi- 
 melech, which he did unto his father, in daying his 
 seventy brethren: 
 
 57 And all the evil of the men of Shechem did 
 God render upon their heads: and upon them came 
 "the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal.

 Tola judgelh Israel in Shamir 
 
 A ND after Abimelech there "arose to ||f defend 
 -*--»- Israel, Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, 
 a man of Issaehar; and he dwelt in Shamir in 
 mount Ephraim. 
 
 2 And he judged Israel twenty and three years, 
 and died, and was buried in Shamir. 
 
 3 IT And after him arose Jair, a Gileadite, and 
 judged Israel twenty and two years. 
 
 4 And he had thirty sons that 'rode on thirty 
 ass colts, and they had thirty cities, c which are 
 called || Havoth-jair unto this day, which are in the 
 land of Gilead. 
 
 5 And Jair died, and was buried in Camon. 
 
 6 1[And ''the children of Israel did evil again in 
 the sight of the Lord, and 'served Baalim, and 
 Ashtaroth, and J the gods of Syria, and the gods of 
 *Zidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the 
 children of Amnion, and the gods of the Philistines, 
 and forsook the Lord, and served not him. 
 
 7 And the anger of the Lord was hot against Is- 
 rael, and he ''sold them into the hands of the Philis 
 tines, and into the hands of the children of Ammon. 
 
 8 And that year they vexed and t oppressed the 
 children of Israel eighteen years, all the children 
 of Israel that were on the other side Jordan in the 
 land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead. 
 
 9 Moreover, the children of Ammon passed over 
 Jordan, to fight also against Judah, and against Ben- 
 
 177 
 
Jephthah s covenant: 
 
 jfimin, and against the house of Ephraint so that 
 Israel was sore distressed. 
 
 10H 'And the children of Israel cried unto 'he, Lord, 
 saying, We have sinned against thee, both because 
 we have forsaken our God, and also served Baalim. 
 
 11 And the Lord said unto the children of Israel, 
 Did not I deliver you *from the Egyptians, and 'from 
 the Amorites, "from the children of Ammon, "and 
 from the Philistines? 
 
 12 "The Zidonians also, ''and the Amalekites, 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 j^ou no more. 
 
 14 Go and ' cry unto the gods which ye have chosen ; 
 let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation. 
 
 15 H And the children of Israel said unto the Lord, 
 We have sinned : ' dothou unto us whatsoever fseemeth 
 good unto thee ; deliver us only, we pray thee, this day. 
 
 16 "And they put away the f strange gods from 
 among them, and served the Lokd: and *his soul 
 t was grieved for the misery of Israel. 
 
 17 Then the children of Ammon were f gathered 
 together, and encamped in Gilead. And the chil- 
 dren of Israel assembled themselves together, and 
 encamped in y Mizpeh. 
 
 18 And the people and princes of Gilead said 
 one to another, What man is he that will begin to 
 tight against the children of Ammon? he shall z be 
 head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.

 The covenant between Jephthah and the Oileadites. 
 
 NOW "Jephthah the Gileadite was 6 a mighty 
 man of valour, and he was the son of fan 
 harlot : and Gilead begat Jephthah. 
 
 2 And Gilead's wife bare him sons; and his wife's 
 sons grew up, and they thrust out Jephthah, and 
 said unto him, Thou shalt not inherit in our father's 
 bouse; for thou art the son of a strange woman. 
 
 3 Then Jephthah fled tfr° m his brethren, and 
 dwelt in the land of Tob : and there were gathered 
 
 vain men to Jephthah, and went out with him. 
 
 4 II And it came to pass f in process of time, that 
 the children of Ammon made war against Israel. 
 
 5 And it was so, that when the children of Am- 
 mon made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead 
 went to fetch Jepnthah out of the land of Tob : 
 
 6 And they said unto Jephthah, Come, and be 
 our captain, that we may fight with the children 
 of Ammon. 
 
 7 And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, 
 J Did not ye hate me, and expel me out of my 
 father's house? and why are ye come unto me now 
 when ye are in distress : 
 
 8 'And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, 
 Therefore we •'turn again to thee now, that thou 
 may est go with us, and fight against the children 
 of Ammon, and be 8 our head over all the inhabitants 
 of Gilead. 
 
 9 And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, 
 If ye bring me home again to fight against the 
 children of Ammon, and the Lord dehver them 
 before me, shall I be your head ? 
 
 10 And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, 
 *The Lord fbe witness between us, if Ave do not so 
 according to thy words.

 thou to do with me, that thou art come against me 
 to fight in my land ? 
 
 13 And the king of the children of Ammon answer-

 18 Then they went along through the wildei- 
 ness, and 'compassed 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 y Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king 
 of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon; and Israel 
 said unto him, *Let us pass, we pray thee, through 
 thy land unto my place. 
 
 20 "But Sihon trusted not Israel to pass through 
 his coast: but Sihon gathered all his people togethei, 
 and pitched in Jahaz, and fought against Israel. 
 
 21 And the Lord 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 f all the coasts of the 
 Amorites, from Arnon even unto Jabbok, and fioio 
 the wilderness even unto Jordan. 
 
 23 So now the Lord God of Israel hath dispos- 
 sessed the Amorites from before his people Israel, 
 and shouldest thou possess it ? 
 
 24 Wilt not thou possess that which ''Chemosh 
 thy god giveth thee to possess? So whomsoever 
 'the Lord our God shall drive out from before us, 
 them will we possess. 
 
 25 And now art thou any thing better than -^Ba- 
 lak the son of Zippor king of Moab ? did he ever strive 
 against Israel, or did he ever fight against them, 
 
 26 While Israel dwelt in * Heshbon and her towns, 
 and in h Aroer and her towns, and in all the cities that 
 be along by the coasts of Arnon, three hundred years ? 
 why therefore did ye not recover them witlr .i that time? 
 
 27 Wherefore I have not sinned against thee, but 
 thou doest me wrong to war against me : the Lord 
 'the Judge *be judge this day between the children 
 of Israel and the children of Amnion. 
 
 28 Howbeit, the king of the children of Ammon 
 hearkened not unto the words of Jephthah which 
 he sent him. 
 
 29 If Then 'the Spirit of the Lord came upon Hdeph- 
 thah, and he passed over Gilead, and Manasseh, and 
 
Jephthah 7 s rash von. 
 
 passed over Mizpeh of Gil end, and from Mizpeh of 
 Gilead he passed over unto the children of Ammon. 
 
 30 And Jephthah '"vowed a vow unto the Lord, 
 and said, If thou shalt without fail deliver the chil- 
 dren of Amnion into mine hands, 
 
 31 Then it shall be, that t whatsoever cometh forth 
 of the doors of my house to meet me, when 1 return 
 tn peace from the children of Amnion, "shall surely be 
 the Lord's, || "and 1 will offer it up for a burnt-offering. 
 
 32 If So Jephthah passed over unto the children 
 of Ammon to fight against them : and the Lord 
 delivered them into his hands. 
 
 33 And he smote them from Aroer even till thou 
 come to^Minnith, even twenty cities, and unto || the 
 plain of the vineyards, with a very great slaughter. 
 Thus the children of Ammon were subdued before 
 the children of Israel. 
 
 34 IT And Jephthah came to ' Mizpeh unto his house, 
 and behold, r his daughter came out to meet him with 
 timbrels and with dances : and she ivas his only 
 child ; || f beside 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 
 unto the Lord, and "I cannot go back. 
 
 36 And she said unto him, My father, if thou hast 
 opened thy mouth unto the Lord, *'do to me accord- 
 ing to that which hath proceeded out of thy mouth; 
 forasmuch as "the Lord hath taken vengeance for thee 
 of thine enemies, even of the children of Ammon. 
 
 37 And she said unto her father, Let this thing 
 be done for me : Let me alone two months, that I 
 may fgo up and down upon the mountains, and 
 bewail my virginity, I and my fellows. 
 
 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 unto her father, who s 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 f yearly 
 II to lament the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite 
 four days in a year. 
 
 CHAP. XII. 
 
 The Ephraimites, quarrelling with Jephthah, and discerned by Shibboleth, 
 are slain by the Gileadites. 
 
 AND "the men of Ephraim f gathered themselves 
 together, and went northward, and said unto 
 Jephthah, Wherefore passedst thou over to fight 
 against the children of Amnion, and didst not call 
 us to go with thee ? we will burn thine house upon 
 thee with fire. 
 
 2 And Jephthah said unto them, I and my people 
 were at great strife with the children of Ammon; 
 and when I called 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 chddren of Ammon, and the Lord delivered 
 them into my hand: wherefore then are ye come 
 up unto me this day, to fight against me ? 
 
 4 Then Jephthah gathered together all the men 
 of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim : and the men 
 of Gilead smote Ephraim, because they said, Ye 
 Gileadites c are fugitives of Ephraim among the 
 Ephraimites, and among the Manassites.

 1 Israel is in the hand of the Philistines. 24 Samson is born. 
 
 AND the children of Israel f"did evil again in the 
 sight of the Lord; Hand the Lord delivered 
 them *into the hand of the Philistines forty years. 
 
 2 If And there was a certain man of f Zorah, of 
 the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; 
 and his wife was barren, and bare not. 
 
 3 And the rf angel of the Lord appeared unto the 
 woman, and said unto 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 *a Nazarite unto God from the womb: and 
 he shall h begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of 
 the Philistines. 
 
 6 If Then the woman came and told her husband, 
 
 saying, 
 
 'A man of God came unto me, and his 
 
 * countenance was like the countenance of an angel 
 of God, very terrible : but I 'asked him not whence 
 he was, neither told he me his name : 
 
 7 But he said unto me, Behold, thou shalt con- 
 ceive, 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 the womb +o 
 the day of his death. 
 
 8 If Then Manoah entreated the Lord, and sairt, 
 O my Lord, let the man of God which thou didst 
 send come again unto us, and teach us what we 
 shall do unto the child that shall be born. 
 
 9 And God hearkened to the voice of Manoah; 
 and the angel of God came again unto the woman as 
 she sat in the field : but Manoah her husband va* 
 not with her. 
 
 179 
 
Salmon is born: 
 
 10 And the woman made haste, and ran, and 
 shewed her husband, and said unto him, Behold, the 
 man hath appeared unto me, that came unto me the 
 01 her day. 
 
 11 And Manoah arose, and went after his wife, 
 and came to the man, and said unto him, Art thou 
 the man that spakest unto the woman? And he 
 said, I am. 
 
 12 And Manoah said, Now let thy words come 
 to pass, f How shall we order the child, and \\-\ how 
 shall we do unto him? 
 
 13 And the angel of the Lord said unto Manoah, 
 Of all that I said unto the woman, let her beware. 
 
 14 She may ..ot eat of any thing that cometh of 
 the vine, "'neither let her drink wine or strong drink, 
 nor eat any unclean tiling: all that I commanded her 
 let her observe. 
 
 15 HAnd Manoah said unto the angel of the 
 Lord, I pray thee, "let us detain thee, until we 
 shall have made ready a kid ffor thee. 
 
 16 And the angel of the Lord said unto Manoah, 
 Though thou detain me, 1 will not eat of thy bread : 
 and if thou wilt offer a burnt offering, thou must 
 offer it unto the Lord. For Manoah knew not that 
 he was an angel of the Lord. 
 
 17 And Manoah said unto the angel of the Lord, 
 What is thy name, that when thy sayings come to 
 pass, we may do thee honour ? 
 
 18 And the angel of the Lord said unto him, "Why 
 askest thou thus after my name, seeing it is || secret? 
 
 19 So Manoah took a kid, with a meat offering, 
 'and offered it upon a rock unto the Lord; and the 
 angel did wondrously, and Manoah and his wife 
 looked on. 
 
 20 For it came to pass, when the flame went up 
 toward heaven from off the altar, that the angel of 
 the Lord ascended in the flame of the altar, and 
 Manoah and his wife looked on it, and v fell on their 
 faces to the ground. 
 
 21 But the angel of the Lord did no more appear 
 to Manoah and to his wife. r Then Manoah knew 
 that he was an angel of the Lord. 
 
 22 And Manoah said unto his wife, 'We shall 
 surely die, because we have seen God. 
 
 23 But his wife said unto him, If the Lord were 
 pleased to kill us, he would not have received a 
 burnt-offering and a meat-offering at our hands, 
 neither would he have shewed us all these things, 
 nor would as at this time have told us suck things 
 as these. 
 
 24 IT And the woman bare a son, and called his 
 name 'Samson. And "the child grew, and the Lord 
 blessed him. 
 
 25 * And the Spirit of the Lord began to move 
 him at times in fine camp of Dan, y between Zorah 
 and Eshtaol.

 goest to take a wife of the 'uncircumcised Philis-

 for me; for tshe pleaseth me well. 
 
 4 But his father and his mother knew not that 
 it was 7 of the Lord, that he sought an occasion 
 against the Philistines: for at that'time A 'the Philis 
 tines had dominion over Israel. 
 
 5 II Then went Samson down, and his father and 
 his mother, to Timnath, and came to the vineyards 
 of Timnath, and behold, a young lion roared f against 
 him. 
 
 6 And Hhe Spirit of the Lord came mightily 
 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 mother what he had done. 
 
 7 And he went down, and .talked with the woman 
 and she pleased Samson well. 
 
 8 HAnd 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 thereof in his hand?, 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 II So his father went down unto the woman: 
 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 11 And Samson said unto them, I will now 
 'put forth a riddle unto you: if ye can certainly 
 declare it me * within the seven days of the feast, 
 and find it out, then I will give you thirty || sheets 
 and thirty ' change of garments : 
 
 13 But if ye cannot declare it me, then shall ye 
 give me thirty sheets and thirty change of garments. 
 And they said unto him, Put forth thy riddle, that 
 we may hear it. 
 
 14 And he said unto them, Out of the eater 
 came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth 
 sweetness. And they could not in three days ex 
 pound the riddle. 
 
 15 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that 
 they said unto Samson s wife, "Entice thy husband, 
 that he may declare unto us the riddle, "lest we burn 
 thee and thy father's house with fire: have ye 
 called us fto take that we have? 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 unto the children of my 
 people, and hast not told it me. And he said unto 
 her, Behold, I have not told it my father nor my 
 mother, and shall I tell it 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 lay sore upon him : 
 and she told the riddle to the children of her people. 
 
 18 And the men of the city said unto 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 unto them, If ye had not ploughed 
 with my heifer, ye had not found out my riddle. 
 
 19 If And ''the Spirit of the Lord came upon him, 
 and he went down to Ashkrl.on, and slew thirty men 
 of them, and took their llsp'-'a, and gave change of gar- 
 ments unto them which expounded the riddle. And 
 
Samson burnetii the Philistines corn,

 Samson burneth the Philistines' corn with fores und fire-brands. 
 
 BUT it came to pass within a while after, in the 
 time of wheat-harvest, that Samson visited his 
 wife with a kid ; and he said, I will go in to my 
 wife into the chamber. But her father would not 
 suffer him to go in. 
 
 2 And her father said, I verily thought that thou 
 hadst utterly " hated her; therefore I gave her to thy 
 companion : is not her younger sister fairer than 
 she: ftak'e 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 displeasure. 
 
 4 And Samson went and caught three hundred 
 foxes, and took || fire-brands, and turned tail to tail, 
 and put a fire-brand in the midst between two tails. 
 
 5 And when he had set the brands on fire, he let 
 them go into the standing corn of the Philistines, 
 and burnt up both the shocks, and also the standing 
 corn, with the vineyards and olives. 
 
 6 II 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. A And the Philistines 
 came up, and burnt her and her father with fire. 
 
 7 If And Samson said unto them, Though ye 
 have done this, yet will I be avenged of you, and 
 after that I will cease. 
 
 8 And he smote them hip and thigh with a great 
 slaughter. And he went down and dwelt in the 
 top of the rock Etam. 
 
 9 IT Then the Philistines went up, and pitched 
 in Judah, and spread themselves c in Lehi. 
 
 10 And the men of Judah said, Why are ye come 
 up against us? And they answered. To bind Samson 
 are we come up, to do to him as he hath done to us. 
 
 11 Then three thousand men of Judah f went to the 
 top of the rock Etam, and said to Samson, Knowest 
 thou not that the Philistines are rf rulers over us ? what 
 is this that thou hast done unto us? And he said unto 
 them, As they did unto me, so have I done unto them. 
 
 12 And they said unto him, We are come down to 
 bind chee, that we may deliver thee into the hand of 
 the Philistines. And Samson said unto them, Swear 
 onto me, that ye will not fall upon me yourselves. 
 
 13 And they spake unto 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 ^And when he came unto Lehi, the Philistines 
 shouted against him: and e the Spirit of the Lord 
 came mightily upon him, and the cords that were 
 upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with 
 fire, and his bands f loosed from off his hands. 
 
 15 And he found a f new 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, f heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of an ass 
 have T slain a thousand men. 
 
 17 And it came to pass when he had made an end

 Samson escapeth, and carrieth away the gates of Gaza. 
 
 THEN went Samson to Gaza, and saw there fan 
 harlot, and went in unto her. 
 
 2 And it was told the Gazites, saying, Samson is 
 come hither. And they "compassed him in, and laid 
 wait for him all night in the gate of the city, and 
 were j quiet all the night, saying, In the morning 
 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, f bar 
 and all, and put them upon his shoulders, and carried 
 them up to the top of an hill 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 unto 
 her, and said unto 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 every one of us eleven 
 hundred pieces of silver. 
 
 6 If And Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray 
 thee, wherein thy great strength lieth, and where- 
 with thou mightest be bound to afflict thee. 
 
 7 And Samson said unto her, If they bind me 
 with seven || f green withs, that were never dried, 
 then shall I be weak, and be as f another man. 
 
 8 Then the lords of the Philistines brought up 
 to her seven green withs, 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 unto him, The 
 Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he brake 
 the withs as a thread of tow is broken when it 
 ftoucheth the fire. So his strength was not known. 
 
 10 And Delilah said unto Samson, Behold, thou 
 hast mocked me, and told me lies : now tell me, I 
 pray thee, wherewith thou mightest be bound. 
 
 11 And he said unto her, If they bind me fast 
 with new ropes fthat never were occupied, then 
 shall I be weak, and be as another man. 
 
 12 Delilah therefore took new ropes, and bound 
 him therewith, and said unto him, The Philistines 
 be upon thee, Samson. (And there were liers in wait 
 abiding in the chamber.) And he brake them from 
 off his arms like a thread. 
 
 13 And Delilah said unto Samson, Hitherto thou 
 
 lies: tell me where- 
 And he said unto 
 locks of my head 
 
 hast mocked me, and told me 
 with thou mightest be bound, 
 her, If thou weavest the seven 
 with the web. 
 
 14 And she fastened it with the pin, and said unto 
 him The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he

 awaked out of his sleep, and went away with the 
 pin of the beam, and with the web. 
 
 15 HAnd she said unto him, c IIow canst thou 
 say, I love thee, when thine heart is not with me? 
 Thou hast mocked 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 his 
 soul was f vexed unto death ; 
 
 17 That he ''told her all his heart, and said unto 
 her, 'There hath not come a razor upon mine head; 
 for I have been a Nazarite unto God from my mo- 
 ther's womb : 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 Phi- 
 listines, saying, Come up this once, for he hath shewed 
 me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines 
 came up unto 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 locks of his head ; and she began to 
 afflict him, and his strength went from him. 
 
 20 And she said, The Philistines be 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 wist not that the Lord s was de- 
 parted from him. 
 
 21 IF But the Philistines took him, and fput 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 Howbeit the hair of his head began to grow 
 again || after he was shaven. 
 
 23 Then the lords of the Philistines gathered 
 them together, for to offer a great sacrifice unto 
 Dagon their god, and to rejoice: for they said, Our 
 god hath delivered Samson our enemy into our hand. 
 
 24 And when the people saw him, they A praised 
 their god : for they said, Our god hath delivered 
 into our hands our enemy, and the destroyer of our 
 country; f which slew many of us. 
 
 25 And it came to pass, when their hearts were 
 'merry, that they said, Call for Samson that he may 
 make us sport. And they called for Samson out 
 of the prison-house ; and he made f them sport : and 
 they set him between the pillars. 
 
 26 And Samson said unto the lad that held him by 
 the hand, Suffer me that I may feel the pillars where- 
 upon the house standeth, that I may lean upon them. 
 
 27 Now the house was full of men and women; 
 and all die lords of the Philistines were there: and 
 there were upon the *roof about three thousand men 
 and women, that beheld while Samson made sport. 
 
 28 And Samson called unto the Lord, and said 
 Lord God, 'remember me, I pray thee, and 
 strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, God, 
 that 1 may be at once avenged of the Philistines 
 lor 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 fine die with the Phi- 
 listines. 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 which he

 Micah hireth a Levite to be his priest. 
 
 AND there was a man of mount Ephraim, whose 
 name was Micah. 
 
 2 And he said unto his mother, The eleven hundred 
 shekels of silver that were taken from thee, about 
 which thou cursedst, and spakest of also in mine ears, 
 behold, the silver is with me; I took it.. And his 
 mother said, " Blessed be thou of the Lord, 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 unto the Lord from 
 my hand for my son, to *make a graven image and 
 a molten image: now therefore I will restore it 
 unto thee. 
 
 4 Yet he restored the money unto his mother; 
 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 an house of gods, and 
 made an rf ephod, and e teraphim, and f consecrated 
 one of his sons, who became his priest. 
 
 6 / In those days there was no king in Israel, 8 but 
 every man did that which was right in his own eyes. 
 
 7 HAnd there was a young man out of A 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, f as he journeyed. 
 
 9 And Micah said unto him, Whence comest thou ? 
 And he said unto him, I am a, Levite of Beth-lehem- 
 judah, and I go to sojourn where I may find a place. 
 
 10 And Micah said unto him, Dwell with me, 'and 
 be unto me a * father and a priest, and I will give thee 
 ten shekels of silver by the year, and Ufa suit of 
 apparel, and thy victuals. So the Levite went in. 
 
 11 And the Levite was content to dwell with 
 the man; and the young man was unto 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 the Lord 
 will do me good, seeing I have a Levite to my priest.

 The Danites send five men to seek out an inheritance. 
 
 IN "those days there was no king in Israel: and 
 in those days Hhe tribe of the Danites sought 
 them an inheritance to dwell in ; for unto that day all 
 their inheritance had not fallen unto them among 
 the tribes of Israel. 
 
 2 And the children of Dan sent of their family 
 five men from their coasts, fmen of valour, from 
 c Zorah, and from Eshtaol, d to spy out the land, and 
 to search it; and they said unto them, Go, search 
 the land : who when they came to mount Ephraim, 
 to the r house of Micah, they lodged there. 
 
 3 When they were by the house of Micah, the^ 
 
The spies of Dan. 
 
 knew the voice of the young man the Levite : and 
 they turned in thither, and said unto him, Who 
 brought thee hither? and what makest thou in this 
 place? and what hast thou here? 
 
 4 And he said unto them, Thus and thus dealeth 
 Micah with me, and hath -'hired me, and I am his 
 priest. 
 
 5 And they said unto him, *Ask counsel, we 
 pray thee, h of God, that we may know whether our 
 way which we go shall be prosperous. 
 
 6 And the priest said unto them, 'Go in peace: 
 before the Lord is your way wherein ye go. 
 
 7 11 Then the five men departed, and came to 
 
 * Laish, and saw the people that were therein, 'how 
 they dwelt careless, after the manner of the Zido- 
 nians, quiet and secure; and there was no t magis- 
 trate in the laud, that might put them to shame in 
 any thing; and they were far from the Zidonians, 
 and had no business with an// man. 
 
 8 And they came unto their brethren to m Zorah 
 and Eshtaol: and their Drethren said unto 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 to enter to possess the land. 
 
 10 When ye go, ye shall come unto a people 
 '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 in the earth. 
 
 11 If And there went from thence of the family 
 of the Danites, out of Zorah and out of Eshtaol, six 
 hundred men f appointed with weapons of war. 
 
 12 And they went up, and pitched in r Kirjath- 
 jearim, in Judah : wherefore they called that place 
 
 • Mahaneh-dan unto this day: behold it is behind 
 Kirjath-jearim. 
 
 13 And they passed thence unto mount Ephraim, 
 and came unto 'the house of Micah. 
 
 14 II" Then answered the five men that went to 
 spy out the country of Laish, and said unto then- 
 brethren, Do ye know that x there is in these houses an 
 ephod,and teraphim, and a graven image, and a molten 
 'mage? now therefore consider what ye have to do. 
 
 lo And they turned thitherward, and came to 
 the house of the young man the Levite, even unto 
 the house of Micah, and f saluted him. 
 
 16 And the y six hundred men appointed with 
 their weapons of war, which were of the children of 
 Dan, stood by the entering of the gate. 
 
 17 And Hhe 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 en- 
 tering of the gate with the six hundred men that 
 were appointed with weapons of war. 
 
 18 And these went into Micah's house, and 
 fetched the carved image, the ephod, and the tera- 
 pnim, and the molten image. Then said the priest 
 unto them, What do ye ? 
 
 19 And they said unto him, Hold thy peace, *lay 
 thine 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 unto the house of one man, or that thou 
 be a priest unto a tribe and a family in Israel ? 
 
 20 And the priest's heart was glad, and he took 
 the ephod, and the teraphim, and the graven image, 
 and went in the midst of the people.

 away: and what have I more? and what if this that 
 ye say unto me, What aileth thee? 
 
 25 And the children of Dan said unto him, Let 
 not thy voice be heard among us, lest f angry 
 fellows run upon thee, and thou lose thy life, with 
 the lives of thy household. 
 
 26 And the children of Dan went their way : and 
 when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, 
 he turned and went back unto his house. 
 
 27 And they took the things which Micah had 
 made, and the priest which he had, and rf came unto 
 Laish, unto a people that were at quiet and secure : 
 'and they smote them with the edge of the sword, 
 and burnt the city with fire. 
 
 28 And there ivas no deliverer, because it was J f;\r 
 from Zidon, and they had no business with any 
 man ; and it was in the valley that lieth e by Beth- 
 rehob. And they built a city, and dwelt therein. 
 
 29 And Hhey called the name of the city 'Dan, 
 after the name of Dan their father, who was born 
 unto Israel : howbeit the name of the city was Laish 
 at the first. 
 
 30 If 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 them up Mican's graven image 
 which he made, 'all the time that the house of God 
 was in Shiloh.

 A Levite goeth to Beth-lehem to fetch home his wife. 
 
 AND it came to pass in those days, ° when there tvas 
 no king in Israel, that there was a certain Le- 
 vite sojourning on the side of mount Ephraim, who 
 took to him fa concubine out of 'Beth-lehem-judah. 
 
 2 And his concubine played the whore against him, 
 and went away from him unto her father s house to 
 Beth-leheni-judah, and was there || ffour whole months. 
 
 3 And her husband arose, and went after her, to 
 speak f friendly unto her, and to bring; her again, hav- 
 ing 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, re- 
 tained him; and he abode with him three days: so 
 they did eat and drink, and lodged there. 
 
 5 If And it came to pass on the fourth day, when 
 they arose early in the morning, that he rose up to 
 depart: and the damsel's father said unto his sort- 
 in law, t c Comfort thine heart with a morsel of bread, 
 and afterward go your way. 
 
 6 And they sat down, and did eat and drink both 
 of them together: for the damsel's father had said 
 unto the man, Be content, I pray thee, and tarry 
 all night, and let thine heart be merry. 
 
 7 And when the man rose up to depart, his father- 
 therefore he lodged there again. 
 
 183 
 
 in-law urged him 
 
The Leviic and his concubine : 
 
 8 And he arose early in the nun ning on the fifth 
 day to depart: and the damsel's father said, Comfort 
 thine heart, I pray thee. And they tarried funtd 
 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 dam- 
 sel's father, said unto him, Behold, now the day fdraw- 
 eth toward evening, I pray you tarry all night : be- 
 hold, f the day groweth to an end, lodge here, that 
 thine heart may be merry ; and to-morrow get you 
 early on your Avay, that thou mayest go f home. 
 
 10 But the man would not tarry that night, but he 
 rose up and departed, and came f over against d 0ebus, 
 which is Jerusalem: 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 unto his master, 
 Come, I pray thee, and let us turn in into this city 
 ' of the Jebusites, and lodge in it. 
 
 12 And his master said unto him, We will not turn 
 aside hither into the city of a stranger, that is not of 
 the children of Israel ; we will pass over •'"to Gibeah. 
 
 13 And he said unto his servant, Come, and let 
 us draw near to one of these places to lodge all 
 night, in Gribeah:, or in *Ramah. 
 
 14 And they passed on and went their way; and 
 the sun went down upon them when they were by 
 Gibeah, which belongeth to Benjamin. 
 
 15 And they turned aside thither, to go in and to 
 lodge in Gribeah: and when he went in, he sat him 
 down in a street of the city: for there was no man 
 that Hook them into his house to lodging. 
 
 16 IT And behold, there came an old man from 
 his work out of the field at even, which was also of 
 
 mount Ephraim ; and he sojourned in Gibeah ; but 
 the men of the place were Benjamites. 
 
 1 7 And when he had lifted up his eyes, he saw a way- 
 faring man in the street of the city : and the old man 
 said, Whither goest thou? and whence coniestthou? 
 
 18 And he said unto him, We are passing from 
 Beth-lehem-judah toward 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 the Lord; and 
 there is no man that f receiveth me to house. 
 
 19 Yet there is both straw and provender for our 
 asses ; and there is bread and wine also for me, and 
 for thy handmaid, and for the 3 r oung man which is 
 with thy servants : there is no want of any thing. 
 
 20 And the old man said, 'Peace be with thee; 
 howsoever, 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 unto the asses: "and they washed their 
 feet, and did eat and drink. 
 
 22 ^ Now as they were making their hearts 
 merry, behold/' the men of the city, certain ? sons of 
 Belial, beset the house round about, and beat at the 
 door, and spake to the master of the house, the old

 25 But the men would not hearken to him : so 
 the man took his concubine, and brought her forth 
 unto them; and they y knew her, and abused her all 
 the night until the morning: and when the day be- 
 gan to spring, they let her go. 
 
 26 Then came the woman in the dawning of the 
 day, and fell down at the door of the mans house 
 where her lord was, till it was light. 
 
 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 unto her, Up, and let us be 
 going. But z none answered. Then the man took 
 her up upon an ass, and the man rose up, and gat 
 him unto his place. 
 
 29 If And when he was come into his house, he 
 took a knife, and laid hold on his concubine, and 
 "divided her, together with her bones, into twelve 
 pieces, and sent her into all the coasts of Israel. 
 
 30 And it was so, that all that 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 unto this day: consider of it, 6 take 
 advice, and speak your minds.

 The war between the Benjamites and the Israelites. 
 
 THEN "all the children of Israel went out, and 
 the congregation was gathered together as one 
 man, from *L)an even to Beer-sheba, "with the land 
 of Gilead, unto the Lord c in Mizpeh. 
 
 2 And the chief of all the people, even of all the 
 tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the as- 
 sembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand 
 footmen d that drew sword. 
 
 3 (Now the children of Benjamin heard that the 
 children of Israel were gone up to Mizpeh.) Then 
 said the children of Israel, Tell us, how was this 
 wickedness? 
 
 4 And fthe Levite, the husband of the woman 
 that was slain, answered and said, e I came into 
 Gibeah that belongeth to Benjamin, I and my con- 
 cubine, to lodge. 
 
 5 ^And the men of Gibeah rose against me, and 
 beset the house round about upon me by night, 
 and thought to have slain me: *and my concubine 
 have they f forced, that she is dead. 
 
 6 And h I took my concubine, and cut her id 
 pieces, and sent her throughout all the country of 
 the inheritance of Israel: for they 'have committed 
 lewdness and folly in Israel. 
 
 7 Behold, ye are all children of Israel; *give 
 here your advice and counsel. 
 
 8 HAnd 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 an hundred 
 throughout all the tribes of Israel, and an hundred 
 of a thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, 
 to fetch victual 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 gathered against 
 the city, f knit together as one man. 
 
 12 HAnd the tribes of Israel sent men through aU 
 
The Israelite* war with Benjamin. 
 
 the tribe of Benjamin, saying, What wickedness is 
 this that is done among you? 
 
 13 Now therefore deliver us the men, m the chil- 
 dren of Belial, which 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 gathered them- 
 selves together out of the cities unto 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, beside the inhabitants of Gibe- 
 ah, which were numbered seven hundred chosen men. 
 
 16 Among all this people there toere seven hun- 
 dred chosen men "left-handed; every one could 
 sling stones at an haix-breadth, and not miss. 
 
 17 And the men of Israel, beside Benjamin, 
 were numbered four hundred thousand men that 
 drew sword : all these were men of war. 
 
 18 HAnd the children of Israel arose, and p went 
 up to the house of God, and 'asked counsel of God, 
 and said, Which of us shall go up first to the battle 
 against the children of Benjamin? And the Lord 
 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 them- 
 selves in array to fight against them at Gibeah. 
 
 21 And r 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 the Lord until even, and asked counsel of 
 the Lord, saying, Shall I go up again to battle 
 against the children of Benjamin my brother? And 
 the Lord said, Go up against him.) 
 
 24 And the children of Israel came near against 
 the children of Benjamin the second day. 
 
 25 And 'Benjamin went forth against them out of 
 Gibeah the second day, and destroyed down to the 
 ground of the children of Israel again eighteen 
 thousand men; all these drew the sword. 
 
 26 IT Then all the children of Israel, and all the 
 people, "went up, and came unto the house of God, 
 and wept, and sat there before the Lord, and fasted 
 that day until even, and offered burnt-offerings and 
 peace-offerings before the Lord. 
 
 27 And the children of Israel inquired of the 
 Lord, (for ''the ark of the covenant of God was 
 there in those days, 
 
 28 y And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aa- 
 :on, r 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 the Lord said, Go 
 up ; for to-morrow I will deliver them into thine hand. 
 
 29 And Israel " set liers in wait round about Gibeah. 
 
 30 And the children of Israel went up against the 
 children of Benjamin on the third day, and put them- 
 selves 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 f to smite of the people, and kill, as at 
 other times, in the highways, of which one goeth

 77ie Benjamites' desolation. 
 
 up to ||the house of Gcd, 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 unto 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 Israel came forth out of 
 their places, even out of the meadows of Gibeah. 
 
 34 And there came against Gibeah ten thousand 
 chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was 
 sore: *but they knew not that evil was near them. 
 
 35 And the Lord smote Benjamin before Israel: 
 and the children of Israel destroyed of the Benja- 
 mites that day twenty and five thousand and an 
 hundred men: all these drew the sword. 
 
 36 So the children of Benjamin saw that they 
 were smitten: c for the men of Israel gave place to 
 the Benjamites, because they trusted unto the liers 
 in wait which they had set beside Gibeah. 
 
 37 d And the liers in wait hasted, and rushed upon 
 Gibeah ; and the hers in wait || drew themselves along, 
 and smote all the city with the edge of the sword. 
 
 38 Now there was an appointed || sign between the 
 men of Israel f and the liers in wait, that they should 
 make a great f flame with smoke rise up out of the city. 
 
 39 And when the men of Israel retired in tne 
 battle, Benjamin began f to smite and kill of the men 
 of Israel about thirty persons : for they said, Surely 
 they are smitten down before us, as in the first battle 
 
 40 But when the flame began to arise up out ot 
 the city with a pillar of smoke, the Benjamites 
 e looked behind them, and behold, fthe flame of the 
 city ascended up to heaven. 
 
 41 And when the men of Israel turned again, 
 the men of Benjamin were amazed: for the}' saw 
 that evil f was come upon them. 
 
 42 Therefore they turned their backs before the 
 men of Israel unto the way of the wilderness; but 
 the battle overtook them; and them which came out 
 of the cities they destroyed in the midst of them. 
 
 43 Thus they inclosed the Benjamites round 
 about, and chased them, and trode them down || with 
 ease f over against Gibeah toward the sun-rising. 
 
 44 And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand 
 men; all these were men of valour. 
 
 45 And they turned and fled toward the wilder- 
 ness unto the rock of -^Rimmon : and they gleaned 
 of them in the highways five thousand men; and 
 pursued hard after them unto Gidom, and slew two 
 thousand men of them. 
 
 46 So that all which fell that day of Benjamin 
 were twenty and five thousand men that drew the 
 sword; all these were men of valour. 
 
 47 *But six hundred men turned and fled to the 
 wilderness unto the rock Rinimon, and abode in 
 the rock Rimmon four months. 
 
 48 And the men of Israel turned again upon the 
 children of Benjamin, and smote them with the 
 edge of the sword, as well the men of every city, as 
 the beast, and all that f came to hand : also they 
 set on fire all the cities that f they came to.

 The people bewail the desolation of Benjamin. 
 
 NOW "the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpeh, 
 saying, There shall not any of ss give hi» 
 daughter unto Benjamin to wife. . 
 
 186 
 
The Benjam'dcs destruction bewailed: 
 
 2 And the people came 'to the house of God, 
 and abode there till even before God, and lifted up 
 their voices, and wept sore; 
 
 3 And said, Lord God of Israel, whj 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 tht> morrow, that the 
 people rose early, and c built there an altar, and 
 offered burntroiferings, and peace-offerings. 
 
 5 And the children of Israel said, Who is there 
 among all the tribes of Israel that came not up with 
 the congregation unto the Lord? ''For they had 
 made a great oath concerning him that came not up 
 to the Lord to Mizpeh, saying, He shall surely be 
 put to death. 
 
 G And the children of Israel repented them 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 re- 
 main, seeing we have sworn by the Lord, that we 
 will not give them of our daughters to wives? 
 
 8 H And they said, What one is there of the tribes 
 of Israel that came not up to Mizpeh to the Lord? 
 and behold, there came none to the camp from 
 'Jabesh-gilead to the assembly. 
 
 9 For the people were numbered, and behold, 
 there were none of the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead 
 there. 
 
 10 And the congregation sent thither twelve 
 thousand men of the valiantest, and commanded 
 them, saying, •''Go and smite the inhabitants of 
 Jabesh-gilead with the edge of the sword, with the 
 women and the children. 
 
 11 And this is the thing that ye shall do, *Ye 
 shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman 
 that fhath lain by man. 
 
 12 And they found among the inhabitants of 
 Jabesh-gilead four hundred f young virgins that 
 had known no man by lying with any male : and 
 chey brought them unto the camp to * Shiloh, which 
 is in the land of Canaan. 
 
 13 And the whole congregation sent some f to speak 
 to the children of Benjamin 'that were in the rock 
 Rimmon, and to || call peaceably unto them.

 'Chey surprise the virgins at Shiloh. 
 
 14 And Benjamin came again at that time; and • 
 they gave them wives which they had saved alive 
 of the women of Jabesh-gilead: and yet so thev 
 sufficed them not. 
 
 15 And the people * repented them for Benjamin, 
 because that the Lord had made a breach in the 
 tribes of Israel. 
 
 16 U Then the elders of the congregation said, How 
 shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing 
 the women are destroyed out of Benjamin? 
 
 17 And they said, There must be an inheritance 
 for them that be escaped of Benjamin, that a tribn 
 be not destroyed out of Israel. 
 
 18 Howbeit, 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 
 the Lord in Shiloh f yearly in a place which is on 
 the north side of Beth-el, || on the east side || of the 
 highway that goeth up from Beth-el to Shechem, 
 and on the south of Lebonah. 
 
 20 Therefore they commanded the children of Ben- 
 jamin, saying, Go, and lie in wait in the vineyards ; 
 
 21 And see, and behold, if the daughters of Shiloh 
 come out m to clance in dances, then come ye out of 
 the vineyards, and catch you every man his wife of the 
 daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin. 
 
 22 And it shall be, when their fathers or their 
 brethren come unto us to complain, that we will 
 say unto them, || Be favourable unto them for our 
 sakes: because we reserved not to each man his 
 wife in the war : for ye did not give unto them at 
 this time, that ye should be guilty. 
 
 23 And the children of Benjamin did so, and 
 took them wives, according to their number, of them 
 that danced, whom they caught: and they went 
 and returned unto their inheritance, and "repaired 
 the cities, and dwelt in them. 
 
 24 And the children of Israel departed thence at 
 that time, every man to his tribe and to his family, 
 and they went out from thence every man to his 
 inheritance.

 NOW it came to pass in the days when "the 
 judges f ruled, that there was 6 a famine in the 
 land. And a certain man of c 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 ivas Elimelech, and 
 the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his

 Moab, and \ continued there. 
 
 3 And Elimelech Naomi's husband died; and 
 6he was left, and her two sons. 
 
 4 And they took them 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.

 them; and the woman was left of her two sons and 
 her husband. 
 
 6 H 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 the Lord 
 had / visited his people in s giving them bread. 
 
 7 Wherefore she went forth out of the place 
 where she was, and her two daughters-in-law with 
 her; and they went on the way to return unto the 
 land of Judah. 
 
 8 And Naomi said unto her two daughters-in- 
 law, A Go, return each to her mother's house: 'the 
 Lord deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with 
 *the dead, and with me. 
 
 9 The Lord grant you that ye may find 'rest, each 
 of you in the house of her husband. Then she kissed 
 them; and they lifted up their voice, and wept. 
 
 10 And they said unto her, Surely we will re- 
 turn with thee onto thy people. 
 

 
 Rutfis constancy. ( 
 
 11 And Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters: 
 why will ye go with me? are there yet any more 
 sons in my womb, m that they may be your husbands? 
 
 12 Turn again, my daughter", go your way ; for 
 I am too old to have an husband. If 1 should say, 
 1 have hope, II if I should have an husband also to- 
 night, and should also bear sons; 
 
 13 Would ye f tarry for them till they were grown ? 
 would ye stay for them from having husbands? nay, 
 my daughters; for fit grieveth me much for your sakes, 
 that "the hand of the Lord is gone out against me. 
 
 14 And they lifted up their voice, and wept 
 again. And Orpah kissed her mother-in-law; but 
 Ruth "clave unto her. 
 
 15 And she said, Behold, thy sister-in-law is 
 gone back unto her people, and unto ''her gods: 
 'return thou after thy sister-in-law. 
 
 16 And Ruth said, || J 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: "the Lord do so to me, and more also, 
 if aught but death part thee and me. 
 
 18 x When she saw that she fwas steadfastly mind- 
 ed to go with her, then she left speaking unto her. 
 
 19 H So they two went until they came to Beth- 
 lehem. And it came to pass, when they were come 
 to Beth-lehem, that ^all the city was moved about 
 them, and they said, x Is this Naomi? 
 
 20 And she said unto them, Call me not || Naomi, 
 call me || Mara : for the Almighty hath dealt very 
 bitterly with me. 
 
 21 I went out full, "and the Lord hath brought 
 me home again empty: why then call ye me Naomi, 
 seeing the Lord hath testified against me, and the 
 Almighty hath afflicted me? 
 
 22 So Naomi returned, and 
 her daughter-in-law with her, 
 of the country of Moab: and 
 lehem 6 in the beginning of barley-harvest.

 Ruth gleaneth in the fields of Boaz. 
 
 AND Naomi had a "kinsman of her husband's, a 
 mighty man of wealth, of the family of Eli- 
 meiech; and his name was *||Boaz. 
 
 2 At d Ruth the Moabitess said unto Naomi, Let 
 me now go to the field, and c glean ears of corn after 
 him in whose sight I shall find grace. And she 
 said unto her, Go, my daughter. 
 
 3 And she went, and came, and gleaned in the 
 field after the reapers ; and her t hap was to light 
 on a part of the field belonging unto Boaz, who was 
 of the kindred of Elimelech. 
 
 4 IF And behold, Boaz came from Beth-lehem, 
 and said unto the reapers, d The Lord be with you: 
 and they answered him, The Lord bless thee. 
 
 5 Then said Boaz unto 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 Moabitish 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 
 until now, that she tarried a little in the house 
 
 8 Then said Boaz unto Ruth, Hearest thou not, 
 my daughter? Go not to glean in another field,

 I. Boaz sheucch kindness to Ruth. 
 
 neither go from hence, but abide here fast by my 
 maidens : 
 
 9 Let thine eyes be on the field that they >!) reap, 
 and go thou after them : have I not charged the 
 young men that they shall not touch thee? and when 
 thou art athirst, go unto the vessels, and drink ol 
 that which the young men have drawn. 
 
 10 Then she J 't'o\l on her face, and bowed herself 
 to the ground, and said unto him, Why have 1 
 found grace in thine eyes, that thou shouldest take 
 knowledge of me, seeing I am a stranger ? 
 
 11 And Boaz answered and said unto her, It hath 
 fully been shewed me, *all that thou hast done unto 
 thy mother-in-law since the death of thine husband: 
 and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, 
 and the land of thy nativity, and art come unto a 
 people which thou knewest not heretofore. 
 
 12 A The Lord recompense thy work, and a fufl 
 reward be given thee of the Lord God of IsraeL, 
 'under whose wings thou art come to trust. 
 
 13 Then she said, ||*let me find favour in thy sight, 
 my lord; for that thou hast comforted me, and for 
 that thou hast spoken f friendly unto thine handmaid, 
 
 though I be not like unto one of thy handmaidens. 
 
 14 And Boaz said unto her, At meal-time come 
 thou hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy 
 morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside the 
 reapers : and he reached her parched corn, and she 
 did eat, and m was sufficed, and left. 
 
 15 And when she was risen up to glean, Boaz 
 commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean 
 even among the sheaves, and f reproach her not: 
 
 16 And let fall also some of the handfuls of pur- 
 pose for her, and leave them, that she may glean 
 them, and rebuke her not. 
 
 17 So she gleaned in the field until even, and 
 beat out that she had gleaned : and it was about 
 an ephah of barley. 
 
 18 IT 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 she 
 had reserved after she was sufficed. 
 
 19 And her mother-in-law said unto her, Where 
 hast thou gleaned to-day? and where wroughtest 
 thou? blessed be he that did "take knowledge of 
 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 unto her daughter-in-law, 
 ^Blessed be he of the Lord, who 'hath not left olF 
 his kindness to the living and to the dead. And 
 Naomi said unto her, The man is near of kin unto 
 us, r || one of our next kinsmen. 
 
 21 And Ruth the Moabitess said, He said unto 
 me also, Thou shalt keep fast by my young men, 
 until they have ended all my harvest. 
 
 22 And Naomi said unto Ruth her daughter-in-law 
 It is good, my daughter, that thou go out with his 
 maidens, that they llmeet thee not in any other field 
 
 23 So she kept fast by the maidens of Boaz to 
 glean unto the end of barley-harvest and of wheat 
 harvest; and dwelt with her mother-in-law. 
 
 CHAP. III. 
 
 1 By Naomi's instruction, 6 Ruth lieth at Boat's feet. 
 
 THEN Naomi her mother-in-law said unto her, 
 My daughter, "shall I not seek *rest for thee, 
 that it may be Avell with thee? 
 
 2 And now is not Boaz of our kindred, "with 
 
 1S7 
 
Ruth luih at Boaz s feet. 
 
 whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he wmnoweth 
 barley to-night in the threshing floor. 
 
 3 "Wash thyself therefore, ''and anoint thee, and 
 put thy raiment upon thee, and get thee down to 
 the floor: but make not thyself known unto 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 || uncover his feet, and lay thee 
 down ; and he will tell thee what thou shalt do. 
 
 5 And she said unto her, All that thou sayest 
 unto me I will do. 
 
 6 If And she went down unto the floor, and did 
 according to all that her mother-in-law bade her. 
 
 7 And when Boaz had eaten and drunk, and e his 
 heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end 
 of the heap of corn : and she came softly, and un- 
 covered his feet, and laid her down. 
 
 8 IT 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 an- 
 swered, I am. Ruth thine handmaid : 'spread there- 
 fore thy skirt over thine handmaid; for thou art 
 i|*a near kinsman. 
 
 10 And he said, h Blessed be thou of the Lord, my 
 daughter : for thou hast shewed more kindness in the 
 latter end than 'at the beginning, inasmuch as thou 
 followedst 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 f city of my 
 people doth know that thou art *a virtuous woman. 
 
 12 And now it is true that I am thy 'near kins- 
 man : howbeit m there is a kinsman nearer than I. 
 
 13 Tarry this night, and it shall be in the morn- 
 ing, that if he will "perform unto thee the part of a 
 kinsman, well ; let him do the kinsman's part : but 
 if he will not do the part of a kinsman to thee, then 
 will 1 do the part of a kinsman to thee, "as the Lord 
 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 ||vail that thou hast 
 upon thee, and hold it. And Avhen she held it, he 
 measured six measures of barley, and laid it on her : 
 »„nd she went into the city. 
 
 16 And when she came to her mother-in-law, she 
 said, Who art thou, my daughter ? and she told her 
 all that the man had done to her. 
 
 17 And she said, These six measures of barley 
 gave he me; for he said to me, Go not empty unto 
 thy mother-in-law. 
 
 18 Then said she, ? Sit still, my daughter, until 
 thou know how the matter will fall : for the man will 
 not be in rest, until he have finished the thing this day.

 aside, and sat down.

 3 And he said unto the kinsman, Naomi, that is 
 come again out of the country of Moab, selleth a 
 parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech's : 
 
 4 And f I thought to advertise thee, saying, e Buy 
 it d before the inhabitants, and before the eiders of 
 my people. If thou wilt redeem it, redeem it: but if 
 thou wilt not redeem if, then tell me, that I may 
 know: e 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, "What daj' thou buyest the 
 field of the hand of Naomi, thou must buy it also of 
 Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, 'to raise 
 up the name of the dead upon his inheritance. 
 
 6 H* And the kinsman said, I cannot redeem it for 
 myself, lest I mar mine own inheritance : redeem 
 thou my right to thyself; for I cannot redeem it. 
 
 7 ''Now this was the manner in former time in 
 Israel concerning redeeming and concerning chang- 
 ing, for to confirm all things; a man plucked on 
 his shoe, and gave it to his neighbour: and this 
 was a testimony in Israel. 
 
 8 Therefore the kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy it 
 for thee. So he drew off his shoe. 
 
 9 IT And Boaz said unto the elders, and unto ah 
 the people, Ye are witnesses this day, that I have 
 bought all that was Elimelech's, and all that was 
 Chilion's and Mahlon's, of the hand of Naomi. 
 
 10 Moreover, Ruth the Moabitess, the wdfe 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 brethren, 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 witnesses. *Tne Lord 
 make the woman that is come into thine house like 
 Rachel and like Leah, which two did 'build the 
 house of Israel : and ||do thou worthily in m Ephrp 
 tah and fbe famous in Bethlehem: 
 
 12 And let thine house be like the house of Pharez, 
 "whom Tamar bare unto Judah, of "the seed which 
 the Lord shall give thee of this young woman. 
 
 13 IT So Boaz Hook Ruth, and she was his wife 
 and when he Avent in unto her, Hhe Lord gave her 
 conception, and she bare a son. 
 
 14 And r the women said unto Naomi, Blessed be 
 the Lord, which hath not f left thee this day without 
 a || kinsman, that his name may be famous in Israel 
 
 15 And he shall be unto thee a restorer of thu 
 life, and f a nourisher of f thine old age : for thy 
 daughter-in-law, which loveth thee, which is 'bettei 
 to thee than seven sons, hath borne him. 
 
 16 And Naomi took the child, and laid it in hei 
 bosom, and became nurse unto 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 IT Now these are the generations of Pharez: 
 "Pharez begat Hezron, 
 
 19 And Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Am- 
 minadab, 
 
 20 And Amminadab begat 'Nahshon, and Nah- 
 shon begat y || Salmon,

 CHAP. I. 
 
 Ilannah having borne Samuel, presenteth him to the LORD. 
 
 TVTOW there was a certain man of Ramathaim- 
 -L^l zophirn, of mount Ephraim, and his name was 
 'Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the 
 son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, 6 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 children, but Hannah had no 
 children. 
 
 3 And this man went up out of his city ' f yearly 
 'to worship and to sacrifice unto the Lord of hosts 
 in ' Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and 
 Phinehas, the priests of the Lord, were there. 
 
 4 HAnd when the time was that Elkanah -''of- 
 fered, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her 
 sons and her daughters, portions : 
 
 5 But unto Hannah he gave || a worthy portion; 
 for he loved Hannah; *but the Lord had shut up 
 her womb. 
 
 6 And her adversary also t A provoked her sore, 
 for to make her fret, because the Lord had shut up 
 her womb. 
 
 7 And as ho did so year by year, || f when she 
 went up to the house of the Lord, so she provoked 
 her; therefore she wept, and did not eat. 
 
 8 Then said Elkanah her husband to her, Han- 
 nah, why weepest thou? and why eatest thou not? 
 and why is thy heart grieved? am not I * better to 
 thee than ten sons? 
 
 9 IF So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shi- 
 loh, and after they had drunk : (now Eli the priest sat 
 upon a seat by a post of *the temple of the Lord:) 
 
 10 'And she was fin bitterness of soul, and prayed 
 unto the Lord, and wept sore. 
 
 11 And she m vowed a vow, and said, Lord of 
 hosts, if thou wilt indeed "look on the affliction of 
 thine handmaid, and "remember me, and not forget 
 thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid 
 fa man-child, then I will give him unto the Lord 
 all the days of his life, and fi there shall no razor 
 come upon his head. 
 
 12 And it came to pass, as she f continued pray- 
 ing before the Lord, that Eli marked her mouth. 
 
 13 Now Hannah, she spake in her heart; only 
 her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: there- 
 fore Eli thought she had been drunken. 
 
 14 And Eli said unto her, How long wilt thou 
 be drunken? put away thy wine from thee. 
 
 15 And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, 
 1 am a woman t of a sorrowful spirit : I have drunk 
 neither wine nor strong drink, but have 'poured 
 out my soul before the Lord. 
 
 16 Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of 
 1 Belial : for out of the abundance of my || complaint 
 and grief have I spoken hitherto. 
 
 1/ Then Eli answered and said, 'Go in peace: 
 and 'the God of Israel grant thee thy petition that 
 thou hast asked of him. 
 
 18 And she said, "Let thine handmaid find grace 
 in thy sight. So the woman *went her way, and 
 did eat, and her countenance was no more sad. 
 
 19 HAnd they rose up in the morning early, and 
 worshipped before the Lord, and returned, and came

 20 Wherefore it came to pass, f when the time wag

 bare a son, and called his name || Samuel, saying^ 
 Because I have asked him of the Lord. 
 
 21 And the man Elkanah, and all his house, 
 "went up to offer unto the Lord the yearly sacrifice, 
 and his vow. 
 
 22 But Hannah went not up ; for she said unto 
 her husband, / will not qo up until the child be 
 weaned, and then I will^bring him, that he may 
 appear before the Lord, and there "abide rf for ever. 
 
 23 And ' Elkanah her husband said unto her, Do 
 what seemcth thee good; tarry until thou have 
 weaned him;A)nly the Lord establish his word. 
 So the woman abode, and gave her son suck until 
 she weaned him. 
 
 24 If And when she had weaned him, she g took him 
 up with her, with three bullocks, and one ephah of 
 flour, and a bottle of wine, and brought him untoHhe 
 house of the Lord in Shiloh : and the child was young 
 
 25 And they slew a bullock, and 'brought the 
 child to Eli. 
 
 26 And she said, O my lord, k as thy soul liveth, 
 my lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here, 
 praying unto the Lord.

 1 Hannah's song of thankfulness. 12 The sin of Eli's sont. 
 
 AND Hannah "prayed, and said, 6 My heart re- 
 joiceth in the Lord, 'mine horn is exalted in 
 the Lord; my mouth is enlarged over mine ene- 
 mies; because I ''rejoice in thy salvation. 
 
 2 'There is none holy as the Lord-: for there is 
 •^"none beside thee : neither is there any rock like 
 our God. 
 
 3 Talk no more so exceeding proudly ; *let not f ar 
 rogancy come out of your mouth : for the Lord is a 
 God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed. 
 
 4 A The bows of the mighty men are broken, and 
 they that stumbled are girded with strength. 
 
 5 ' They that were full have hired out themselves 
 for bread ; and they that were hungry ceased : so 
 that * the barren hath borne seven; and 'she that 
 hath many children is waxed feeble. 
 
 6 m The Lord killeth, and maketh alive: he bring- 
 eth down to the grave, and bringeth up. 
 
 7 The Lord "maketh poor, and maketh rich: "hn 
 bringeth low, and lifteth up. 
 
 8 ^He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and 
 lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, 9 to set them 
 among princes, and to make them inherit the throne 
 of glory : for r the pillars of the earth are the Lord's, 
 and he hath set the world upon them. 
 
 9 'He will keep the feet of his saints, and the 
 wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength 
 shall no man prevail.

 11 And Elkanah 
 'And the child did 
 Eli the priest 
 
 12 11 Now tne sons of Eli were "sons of Belial; 
 * thev knew not the Lord. 
 
 lS And the priest's custom with the people tvas, 
 that, when any man offered sacrifice, the priest's 
 servant came, while the flesh was in seething, with 
 a flesh-hook of three teeth in his hand; 
 
 14 And he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or 
 caldron, or pot; all that the flesh-hook brought up 
 the priest took for himself. So they did in Shiloh 
 unto all the Israelites that came thither. 
 
 15 Also before they c 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 sodden flesh of thee, but raw. 
 
 16 And if (my man said unto him, Let them not 
 fail to burn the fat f presently, and then take as 
 much as thy soul desireth; then he would answer 
 him, Nay ; but thou shalt give it me now: and if 
 not, I will take it by force. 
 
 17 Wherefore the sin of the young men was 
 very great ^before the Lord: for men e abhorred the 
 offering of the Lord. 
 
 18 IK But Samuel ministered before the Lord, 
 being a child, * girded with a linen ephod. 
 
 19 Moreover his mother made him a little coat, 
 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, The Lord give thee seed of this woman for 
 the || loan which is 'lent to the Lord. And they 
 went unto their own home. 
 
 21 And the Lord m visited Hannah, so that she 
 conceived, and bare three sons and two daughters. 
 Aud the child Samuel "grew before the Lord. 
 
 22 IT Now Eli was very old, and heard all that 
 his sons did unto all Israel ; and how they lay with 
 •the woman that f assembled at the door of the 
 tabernacle of the congregation. 
 
 23 And he said unto 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 the Lord's people || to transgress. 
 
 25 If one man sin against another, the judge shall 
 judge him : but if a man ''sin against the' Lord, who 
 shall entreat for him? Notwithstanding, they heark- 
 ened not unto the voice of their father, 'because 
 the Lord would slay them. 
 
 26 And the child Samuel r grew on, and was 'in 
 favour both with the Lord, and also with men. 
 
 27 II' And there came a man of God unto Eli, and 
 said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, "Did I plainly 
 appear unto the house of thy father, when they were 
 vn Egypt in Pharaoh'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 
 birn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and y did 
 1 give unto the house of thy father all the offerings

 A prophecy against Eli's hf/u$c, 
 
 make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the 
 offerings of Israel my people ? 
 
 30 Wherefore the Lord God of Israel saith, 6 ] 
 said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy 
 father, should walk before me for ever: but now 
 the Lord saith, c Be it far from me; for them that 
 honour me d I will honour, and 'they that despise

 CHAP. III. 
 
 TTow the word of the Lord was first revealed to Samuel. 
 
 AND a the child Samuel ministered unto the Lord 
 before Eli. And Hhe word of the Lord was 
 precious in those days ; there was no open vision. 
 
 2 And it came to pass at that time, when Eli 
 was laid down in his place, c and his eyes began to 
 wax dim, that he could not see; 
 
 3 And ere d the lamp of God went out 'in the 
 temple of the Lord, Avhere the ark of God tvas, and 
 Samuel was laid down to sleep; 
 
 4 That the Lord called Samuel : and he answered, 
 Here am I. 
 
 5 And he ran unto 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 the Lord called yet again, Samuel. Arid 
 Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am 
 T; for thou didst call me. And he answered, ] 
 called not, my son; lie down again. 
 
 7 || Now Samuel ^'did not yet know the Lord, neithui 
 was the word of the Lord yet revealed unto him. 
 
 8 And the Lord 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 per- 
 ceived that the Lord had called the child. 
 
 9 Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down: 
 and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, 
 Speak, Lord; for thy servant heareth. So Samuel 
 went and lay down in his place. 
 
 10 And the Lord came, and stood ana called as 
 at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel 
 answered, Speak ; for thy servant heareth. 
 
 11 II And the Lord said to Samuel, Bthold, I 
 will do a thing in Israel, ff at Avhich both the ears of 
 every one that heareth it shall tingle. 
 
 Vl In that day I will perform against Eh ''all thingx 
 
Samuel tel/eth his vision to Eh. 
 
 which 1 have spoken concerning his house : | when 
 I begin, 1 will also make an end. 
 
 13 || 'For I have told him, that 1 will 'fudge his 
 house for ever, for the iniquity which he knoweth : 
 because 'his sons made themselves II vile, and he 
 f m restrained them not. 
 
 14 And therefore I have sworn unto the house 
 of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli's house "shall not be 
 purged with sacrifice nor offering for ever. 
 
 lo IF And Samuel lay until the morning, and 
 opened the doors of the house of the Loud: and 
 Samuel feared to shew Eli the vision. 
 
 16 Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, 
 my son. And he answered, Here am I. 
 
 17 And he said, What is the thing that the LORD 
 hath said unto thee ? I pray thee hide it not from me : 
 'God do so to thee, and f more also, if thou hide ar,i, 
 || thing from me, of all the things that he said unto thee. 
 
 18 And Samuel told him \ every whit, and hid 
 nothing from him. And he said, /( It is the Lord: 
 let him do what seemeth him good. 
 
 19 IT And Samuel 'grew, and 'the Lord 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 || established to be a prophet 
 of the Lord. 
 
 2 1 And the Lord appeared again in Shiloh : for 
 the Lord revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by 
 
 the word of the Lord. 
 
 CHAP. IV. 
 
 JVie Israelites are overcome by the Philistines at Eben-ezer. 
 
 AND the word of Samuel || f came to all Israel. 
 Now Israel went out against the Philistines 
 to battle, and pitched beside "Eben-ezer: and the 
 Philistines pitched in Aphek. 
 
 2 And the Philistines put themselves in array 
 against Israel : and when f they joined battle, Israel 
 was smitten before the Philistines : and they slew 
 of f the army in the field about four thousand men. 
 
 3 II And when the people were come into the 
 camp, the elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath the 
 Lord smitten us to-day before the Philistines? Let 
 us t fetch the ark of the covenant of the Lord out 
 of Shiloh unto us, that when 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 ark of the covenant of the Lord 
 of hosts, 6 which dwelleth between 'the cherubims: 
 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 the Lord 
 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 meaneth the noise of 
 this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews ? And 
 they understood that the ark of the Lord was come 
 into the camp. 
 
 7 And the Philistines were afraid, for they said, God 
 is come into the camp. And they said, Wo unto 
 us ! for there hath not been such a thing f heretofore. 
 
 8 Wo unto us ! who shall deliver us out of the hand 
 of these mighty Gods ? these are the Gods that smote 
 the Egyptians with all the plagues in the wilderness. 
 
 9 ''Be strong, and quit yourselves like men, 
 ye Philistines, that ye be not servants unto the 
 Hebiews, e as they have bee*i to you: f quit your- 
 selves like men, and fight

 10 HAnd the Philistines fought, and / Israel was 
 smitten, and they fled every man into his tent: and 
 there was a very great slaughter, for there fell ol 
 Israel thirty thousand footmen. 
 
 11 And *the ark of God was taken; and "the two 
 sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, fwere 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 crying, 
 he said, What meaneth the noise of this tumult? 
 And the man came in hastily, and told Eli. 
 
 15 Now Eli was ninety and eight years old; and 
 m his eyes \ were dim, that he could not see. 
 
 16 And the man said unto Eli, I am he thai came 
 out of the army, and I fled to-day out of the army. 
 And he said, " What fis there done, my son? 
 
 17 And the messenger answered ana 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 back- 
 ward by the side of the gate, and his neck brake, 
 and he died: for he Avas an old man, and heavy 
 II And he had judged Israel forty years. 
 
 19 II 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 t came upon her. 
 
 20 And about the time of her death, "the women 
 that stood by her said unto her, Fear not; for thou 
 hast borne a son. But she answered not, f neither 
 did she regard it. 
 
 21 And she named the child || p I-chabod, saying, 
 ? The glory is departed from Israel: (because the 
 ark of God was taken, and because of her father- 
 in-law and her husband.) 
 
 22 And she said, The glory is departed from 
 Israel : for the ark of God is taken. 
 
 CHAP. V. 
 
 The ark is brought into Ashdod, and set in the house of Dagon. 
 
 AND the Philistines took the ark of God, and 
 brought it "from Eben-ezer unto Ashdod. 
 
 2 When the Philistines took the ark of God, 
 they brought it into the house of 4 Dagon, and set 
 it by Dagon. 
 
 3 IT And when they of Ashdod arose early on the 
 morrow, behold, Dagon was c fallen upon his face to 
 the earth before the ark of the Lord. And they 
 took Dagon, and ''set him in his place again. 
 
 4 And when they arose early on the morrow 
 morning, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to 
 the ground before the ark of the Lord: 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 unto this day. 
 
 But A ' the hand of the Lord was heavy upon them 
 
 itn 
 
l%c ark sent bade. 
 
 jf Ashdod, and he * destroyed them, and smote them 
 with 'emerods, even Ashdod, and the coasts thereof. 
 
 7 And when the men of Ashdod saw that it was 
 ro, they said, The ark of the God of Israel shall not 
 abiue with us: for his hand is sore upon us, and 
 upon Dagon our god. 
 
 8 They sent therefore, and gathered all the lords 
 ^f the Philistines unto 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 car- 
 ried about unto 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 the Lord was against the city 
 'with a very great destruction: and m he smote the 
 men of the city both small and great, and they had 
 emerods in their secret parts. 
 
 10 IT 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 
 t us, 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 his own 
 place, that it slay f us 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 smitten with 
 the emerods : and the cry of the city went up to heaven. 
 
 CHAP. VI. 
 
 The Philistines tike counsel how to send back the ark. 
 
 AND the ark of the Lord was in the country 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 the Lord? tell us wherewith we shall send it to 
 nis place. 
 
 3 And they said, If ye send away the ark of the 
 God of Israel, send it not b empty ; but in any wise 
 return him c a trespass-offering: then ye shall be 
 healed, and it shall ''be known to you why his hand 
 is not removed from you. 
 
 4 Then said they, What shall be the trespass-offer- 
 ing which we shall return to him? They answered, 
 Five golden emerods, and five golden mice, 'according 
 to the number of the lords of the Philistines: for 
 one plague was on f you all, and on your lords. 
 
 5 Wherefore ye shall make images of your eme- 
 rods, and images of your mice that 'mar the land; 
 and ye shall s give glory unto the God of Israel : per- 
 adventure he will ''lighten his hand from off you, and 
 from oft 'your gods, and from off your land. 
 
 6 Wherefore then do ye harden your hearts, *as the 
 Eg}'ptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts ? when 
 he had wrought || wonderfully among them, 'did they 
 not let fthe people go, and they departed? 
 
 7 Now therefore make '"a new cart, and take two 
 milch-kine "on which there hath come no yoke, and 
 tie the kine to the cart, and bring their calves home 
 from them: 
 
 8 And take the ark of the Lord, and lay it upon 
 the cart; and put "the jewels of gold which ye re- 
 turn him for a trespass-offering, in a coffer by the 
 side thereof; and send it away, that it may go. 
 
 9 And see, if it goeth up by the way of his own 
 coast to p Beth-shemesh, then || he hath done us this 
 great evil: but if not, then v we shall know that it\

 The Betli-shemites smitten. 
 
 is not his hand that smote us; it was a chance that 
 happened to us. 
 
 10 If And the men did so; and took two milch 
 kine, and tied them to the cart, and shut up their 
 calves at home : 
 
 11 And they laid the ark of the Lord upon the 
 cart, and the coffer with the mice of gold and the 
 images of their emerods. 
 
 12 And the kine took the straight way to the way 
 of Beth-shernesh, and went along the highway, low- 
 ing as they went, and turned not aside to the right 
 hand or to the left; and the lords of the Philistines 
 went after them unto the border of Beth-shemesh. 
 
 13 And they of Beth-shemesh were reaping 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 clave the wood of the cart, 
 and offered the kine a burmVoffering unto the Lord. 
 
 15 And the Levites took down the ark of the 
 Lord, and the coffer that was with it, wherein the 
 jewels of gold toere, and put them on the great 
 stone : and the men of Beth-shemesh offered burnt- 
 offerings and sacrificed sacrifices the same day unto 
 the Lord. 
 
 16 And when r the five lords of the Philistines had 
 seen it, they returned to Ekron the same day. 
 
 17 'And these are the golden emerods which the 
 Philistines returned for a trespass-offering unto 
 the Lord; for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Aske- 
 lon one, for Gath one, for Ekron one; 
 
 18 And the golden mice, according to the number 
 of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five 
 lords, both of fenced cities, and of country villages, 
 even unto the || great stone of Abel, whereon they set 
 down the ark of the Lord : which stone remaineth unto 
 this day in the field of Joshua the Beth-shemite. 
 
 19 IfAnd 'he smote the men of Beth-shemesh, 
 because they had looked into the ark of the Lord, 
 even he smote of the people fifty thousand and three- 
 score and ten men: and the people lamented, be- 
 cause the Lord had smitten many of the people with 
 a great slaughter. 
 
 20 And the men of Beth-shemesh said, "Who is 
 able to stand before this holy Lord God? and to 
 whom shall he go up from us ? 
 
 21 HAnd they sent messengers to the inhabit- 
 ants of x Kirjath-jearim, savins;, The Philistines have 
 brought again the ark of the Lord; come ye down, 
 and fetch it up to you.

 AND the men of" Kirjath-jearim came, and fetched 
 up the ark of the Lord, and brought it into 
 the house of 4 Abinadab in the hill, and sanctified 
 Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the Loud. 
 
 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 the Lord. 
 
 3 HAnd Samuel spake unto all the house of Is- 
 rael, saying, If ye do f return unto the Lord with all 
 your hearts, then ''put away the strange gods, and 
 e Ashtaroth, from among you, and -^prepare your 
 hearts unto the Lord, and g serve him only: and he

 6 And they gathered together to Mizpeh, *and 
 drew water, and poured it out before the Loud, and 
 'fasted on that day, and said there, m We have sinned 
 against the Loud. And Samuel judged the children 
 oi Israel in Mizpeh. 
 
 7 And when the Philistines heard that the chil- 
 dren of Israel were gathered together to Mizpeh, 
 the lords of the Philistines 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 Samuel, 
 t ° Cease not to cry unto the Loud our God for us, that 
 he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines. 
 
 9 IF And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and of- 
 fered it for a burnt-offering wholly unto the Loud : 
 and q Samuel cried unto the Loud for Israel ; and 
 the Loud || heard him. 
 
 10 And as Samuel was offering up the burnt- 
 offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against 
 Israel: r but the Loud thundered with a great thun- 
 der on that day upon the Philistines, and discom- 
 fited them ; and they were smitten before Israel. 
 
 11 And the men of Israel went out of Mizpeh, 
 and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, until 
 they 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 the Loud helped us. 
 
 13 II' So the Philistines were subdued, and they 
 "came no more into the coast of Israel: and the 
 hand of the Loud was against the Philistines all the 
 days of Samuel. 
 
 14 And the cities which the Philistines had taken 
 from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even 
 unto Gath ; and the coasts thereof did Israel deliver 
 out of the hands of the Philistines : and there was 
 peace between Israel and the Amorites. 
 
 15 And Samuel - r judged Israel all the days of 
 his life. 
 
 16 And he went from year to year fin circuit 
 to Beth-el, and Gilgal, and Mizpeh, and judged 
 Israel in all those places. 
 
 17 And y his return ivas to Ramah; for there was 
 his house ; and there he judged Israel ; and there 
 fie z built an altar unto the Loud.

 by occasion of the ill government of Sa?nuel's sons, the Israelites ask a king. 
 
 AND it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that 
 he "made his b 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. 
 
 3 And his sons 'walked not in his ways, but 
 turned aside ''after lucre, and 'took bribes, and per- 
 verted judgment. 
 
 4 Then all the elders of Israel gathered them- 
 selves together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah, 
 
 5 And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and 
 thy sms walk not in thy ways : now Anake us a 
 king to judge us like all the nations. 
 
 6 IT But the thing f displeased Samuel, when 
 they said, Give us a king to judge us : and Samuel 
 prayed unto the Loud.

 7 And the Loud said unto Samuel, Hearken unto 
 the voice of the people in all that they say unto 
 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 unto this day, wherewith they have forsaken 
 me, and served other gods, so do they also unto thee 
 
 9 Now therefore || hearken unto their voice : || how^ 
 beit, yet protest solemnly unto them, and 'shew them 
 the manner of the king that shall reign over them. 
 
 10 11 And Samuel told all the words of the Loud 
 unto the people that asked of him a king. 
 
 11 And he said, fc This will be the manner of the 
 king that shall reign over 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 thou- 
 sands, and captains over fifties; and will set them to 
 ear his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make 
 his instruments of war, and instruments of his chariot.". 
 
 13 And he will take your daughters to be con- 
 fectionaries, and to be cooks, and to be bakers. 
 
 14 And m he will take your fields, and your vine- 
 yards, and your olive-yards, even the best of them, 
 and give them to his servants. 
 
 15 And he will take the tenth of your seed, and 
 of your vineyards, and give to his f officers, and to 
 his servants. 
 
 16 And he will take your men-servants, and 
 youi maid-servants, and your goodliest young men, 
 and your asses, and put them to his work. 
 
 17 He will take the tenth of your sheep : and 
 ye shall be his servants. 
 
 18 And ye shall cry out in that day because of 
 your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the 
 Loud "will not hear you in that day. 
 
 19 IT Nevertheless, the people "refused to obey 
 the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we 
 will have a king over us ; 
 
 20 That we also may be ^like all the nations ; 
 and that our king may judge us, and go out before 
 us, and fight our battles. 
 
 21 And Samuel heard all the words of the people, 
 and he rehearsed them in the ears of the Loud. 
 
 22 And the Loud said to Samuel, 'Hearken unto 
 their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel 
 said unto the men of Israel, Go ye every man unto 
 his city. 
 
 CHAP. IX. 
 
 19 Samuel enlertaineth Saul at the feast. 25 Samuel, after secret com- 
 munication, bringeth Saul on his wag. 
 
 NOW there was a man of Benjamin whose name 
 tvas "Kish, the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, 
 the son of Bechorath, the son of Aphiah, || a Ben- 
 jamite, a mighty man of || power. 
 
 2 And he had a son, whose name tvas Saul, a 
 choice young man, and a goodly : and there was not 
 among the children of Israel a goodlier person than 
 he: 6 from his shoulders and upward he was highe 
 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 e Shalisha, but they found 
 them not; then they passed through the land of Sha. 
 
 103 
 
Sumud cntertninclh Saul, and 
 
 lini, and there they tvere not : and he passed through 
 the land of the Benjamites, hut they found them not. 
 
 5 And when the} - were come to the land of Zuph, 
 Saul said to his servant that was with him, Come, 
 and let us return; lest va y father leave caring for 
 the asses, and take thought lor us. 
 
 6 And he said unto him. Behold now, there is in 
 this city ''a man of God, and he is an honourable 
 man; 'all that he saith cometh surely to pass: now 
 let us go thither ; peradventure he can shew us our 
 way that we should go. 
 
 7 Then said Saul to his servant, But behold, if 
 we go, * what shall Ave bring the man? for the bread 
 fis spent in our vessels, and there is not a present 
 to bring to the man of God : what f have Ave ? 
 
 8 And the servant ansAvered Saul again, and said, 
 Behold, f I have here at hand the fourth part of a 
 shekel of silver: that Avill I give to the man of God, 
 to tell us our Avay. 
 
 ') (Beforetime in Israel, when a man ^went to in- 
 quire of God, thus he spake, Come, and let us go to 
 the seer: for he that is noAv called a Prophet Avas 
 before time called ''a Seer.) 
 
 10 Then said Saul to his servant, fWell said; 
 come, let us go : so they Avent unto the city Avhere 
 the man of God ivas. 
 
 11 \And as they went up fthe hill to the city, 
 'they found young maidens going out to draAV Avater, 
 and said unto them, Is the seer here ? 
 
 12 And they answered them, and said, He is; be- 
 hold, he is before you : make haste now, for he came 
 to-day to the city; for k there is a || sacrifice of the 
 people to-day 'in the high place: 
 
 13 As soon as ye be come into the city, ye shall 
 straightway find him, before ye go up to the high 
 place to eat : for the people Avill not eat until he come, 
 because he doth bless the sacrifice ; and aftenvards 
 they eat that be bidden. Noav therefore get you 
 up ; for about f this time ye shall find him. 
 
 14 And they went up into the city : and Avhenthey 
 were come into the city, behold, Samuel came out 
 against them, for to go up to the high place. 
 
 15 If "'Now the Lord had | told Samuel in his ear 
 a day before Saul came, saying, 
 
 16 To-morroAV about this time, I Avill send thee a 
 man out of the land of Benjamin, "and thou shalt 
 anoint him to be captain OA r er my people Israel, that 
 he may save my people out of the hand of the Philis- 
 tines: for I have "looked upon my people, because 
 their cry is come unto me. 
 
 17 And Avhen Samuel saAV Saul, the Lord said 
 unto him, p Behold the man whom I spake to thee 
 of! this same shall f reign over my people. 
 
 18 Then Saul dreAv near to Samuel in the gate, and 
 said, Tell me, I pray thee, Avhere the seer's house is. 
 
 19 And Samuel answered Saul, and said, I am the 
 seer : go up before me unto the high place ; for ye 
 shall eat Avith 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 Avere lost f three 
 days ago, set not thy mind on them ; for they are 
 found. And on Avhom '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 Ben- 
 jamite, of the 'smallest of the tribes of Israel? and 
 N my family the least of all the families of the tribe of 
 Benjamin ? Avherefore then speakest thou f so to me ? 
 
 22 And Samuel took Saul, and his servant, and

 out both of them, he and Samuel, abroad. 
 
 27 And us they were going doAvn to the end of the 
 city, Samuel said to Saul, Bid the servant pass on

 t a while, that I may shew thee the word of God. 
 
 CHAP. X. 
 
 1 Samuel anointeth Saul. 1 He confirmeth him by prediction. 
 
 THEN " Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured it 
 upon his head, 'and kissed him, and said, Is it 
 not because c the Lord hath anointed thee to be cap 
 tain OA r er ''his inheritance ? 
 
 2 When thou art departed from me to-day, then 
 thou shalt find two men by r Rachel's sepulchre in the 
 border of Benjamin-^at Zelzah ; and they Avill say unto 
 thee, The asses Avhich thou Aventest to seek are found : 
 and lo, thy father hath left f the care of the asses, and 
 sorroAveth for you, saying, What shall I do for my son ? 
 
 3 Then shalt thou go on forward from thence, and 
 thou shalt come to the plain of Tabor, and there shall 
 meet thee three men going up f to God to Beth-el, one 
 carrying three kids, and another carrying three loaves 
 of bread, and another carrying a bottle of wine : 
 
 4 And they will t salute thee, and give thee two 
 loaves of bread ; Avhich thou shalt receive of their hands. 
 
 5 After that thou shalt come to ''the hill of God, 
 ' where is the garrison of the Philistines : and it shall 
 come to pass, Avhen thou art come thither to the 
 city, that thou shalt meet a compairy of prophets 
 coming doAvn *from the high place Avith a. psaltery, 
 and a tabret, and a pipe, and a harp before them; 
 'and they shall prophesy: 
 
 6 And '" the Spirit of the Lord will come upon 
 thee, and "thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt 
 be turned into another man. 
 
 7 And flet it be, \vhen these "signs are come, 
 unto thee, \that thou do as occasion serve thee; 
 for '' God is Avith thee. 
 
 8 And thou shalt go doAvn before me ? to Gilgal ; 
 and behold, I will come down unto thee, to offer 
 burnt-offerings, and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace- 
 offerings: r seven days shalt thou tarry, till I come 
 to thee, and sheAV thee what thou shalt do. 
 
 9 If And it was so, that when he had turned his 
 f back to go from Samuel, God t gave him another 
 heart : and all those signs came to pass that day. 
 
 10 And * when they came thither to the hill, behold, 
 'a company 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 Luo 
 
Said chosen by hi al Mizpch . 
 
 chap, xi, xu. 
 
 He discomjitcth the kmim/ralc* 
 
 beforetime, saw, that, behold, he prophesied among 
 the prophets, then the people said fone to another 
 What is this that is come unto the son of Kish? 
 *ls Saul also among the prophets? 
 
 12 And one f of the same place answered and said, 
 But "who is their father? Therefore it became a 
 proverb, Is Saul also among the prophets? 
 
 13 And when he had made an end of prophesy- 
 ing, he <jame to the high place. 
 
 14 llAnd Saul's uncle said unto him and to his 
 sen ant, Whither went ye ? And he said, To seek 
 the asses: and Avhen we saw that they were no 
 where, we came to Samuel. 
 
 15 And Saul's uncle said, Tell me, I pray thee, 
 what Samuel said unto you. 
 
 16 And Saul said unto his uncle, He told us plainly 
 that the asses were found. But of the matter of the 
 kingdom, whereof Samuel spake, he told him not. 
 
 17 HAnd Samuel called the people together 
 • unto the Lord " to Mizpeh ; 
 
 18 And said unto the children of Israel, 4 Thus 
 saith the Lord God of Israel, I brought up Israel 
 out of Egypt, and delivered you out of the hand of 
 the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all kingdoms, 
 and of them that oppressed you : 
 
 19 c And ye have this day rejected your God, 
 who himself saved you out of all your adversities, 
 and your tribulations; and ye have said unto him, 
 Nay, but set a king over us. Now therefore pre- 
 sent yourselves before the Lord by } r our tribes, 
 and by your thousands. 
 
 20 And when Samuel had ''caused all the tribes of 
 Israel to come near, the trjbe of Benjamin was taken. 
 
 21 When he had caused the tribe of Benjamin to 
 <;ome 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 e inquired of the Lord further, 
 if the man should yet come thither. And the Lord 
 answered, Behold, he hath hid himself anions; the 
 stuff. 
 
 23 And they ran and fetched him thence : and 
 when he stood among the people/' he was higher than 
 any of ihe people from his shoulders and upward. 
 
 24 And Samuel said to all the people, See ye 
 him *wiiom the Lord hath chosen, that there is none 
 like him among all the people? And all the people 
 shouted, and said, * f God save the king. 
 
 25 Then Samuel told the people 'the manner of 
 the kingdom, and wrote it in a book, and laid it up 
 before the Lord. And Samuel sent all the people 
 away, every man to his house. 
 
 26 IF And Saul also went home Ho Gibeah; and 
 there went with him a band of men, whose hearts 
 God had touched. 
 
 27 '*ut the '"children of Belial said, How shall 
 this man save us? And they despised him, "and 
 brought him no presents. But || he held his peace.

 3 And the elders of Jabesh said unto him, fGive 
 us seven days' respite, that we may send messen- 
 gers unto all the coasts of Israel: and then, if there 
 be no man to save us, we will come out to thee. 
 
 4 HThen came the messengers e to Gibeah of 
 Saul, and told the tidings in the ears of the people • 
 and '"all the people lifted up their voices, and wept. 
 
 £ And benold, Saul came after the herd out o* 
 the field; and Saul said, What aileth the people 
 that they weep? And they told him the tidings 
 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 h hewed them 
 in pieces, and sent them throughout all the coasts of 
 Israel by the hands of messengers, saying, 'Whoso- 
 ever cometh not forth after Saul and after Samuel, 
 so shall it be done unto his oxen. And the fear 
 of the Lord fell on the people, and they came out 
 fwith one consent. 
 
 8 And when he numbered them in *Bezek, the 
 children 'of Israel were three hundred thousand, 
 and the men of Judah thirty thousand. 
 
 9 And they said unto the messengers that came, 
 Thus shall ye say unto the men of Jabesh-gilead, 
 To-morrow, by that lime the sun be hot, ye shall 
 have || help. 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 unto you, and } r e shall do with 
 us all that seemeth good unto 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 m the morning-watch, and 
 slew the Ammonites until the heat of the day: and 
 it came to pass, that they which remained were scat- 
 tered, so that two of them were not left together. 
 
 12 HAnd the people said unto Samuel, ''Who is 
 he that said, Shall Saul reign over us ? ? bring the 
 men, that w T e may put them to death. 
 
 13 And Saul said, r There shall not a man be put 
 to death this day : for to-day *the Lord hath wrought 
 salvation 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 the Lord in Gilgal: 
 and x there they sacrificed sacrifices of peace-offer- 
 ings before the Lord: and there Saul and all the 
 men of Israel rejoiced greatly. 
 
 CHAP. XII. . 
 
 Samuel testifieth his integrity. 
 
 AND Samuel said unto all Israel, Behold, I have 
 hearkened unto "your voice in all that ye said 
 unto 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-headed; and behold, 
 my sons are with }'ou: and I have walked before 
 you from my childhood unto this day. 
 
 3 Behold, here I am: witness against me before 
 the Lord, and before -Oris anointed; s whose ox have 
 I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom 
 have 1 defrauded? whom have I oppressed? or of 
 whose hand have I received any t bribe || to * blind 
 mine eyes therewith? and I will restore it you. 
 
 4 And they said, Thou hast not defrauded us, 
 nor oppressed us, neither has! thou taken aught of 
 'any man's hand. 
 
 106 
 
Samuel reproveth the people. 
 
 5 And he said unto them, The Loud is witness 
 against you, and his anointed is witness this day, 
 that ye have not found aught *in mine hand. And 
 ihey answered, lie is witness. 
 
 G IT And Samuel said unto the people, 'It is the 
 Lord that || advanced 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 the Lord of all the f righteous acts 
 of the Lord, which he did f to you and to your fathers. 
 
 8 "When Jacob was come into Egypt, and your 
 fathers "cried unto the Lord, then the Lord p sent 
 Moses and Aaron, which brought forth your fathers 
 out of Egypt, and made them dwell in this place. 
 
 9 And when they ''forgat the Lord their God, 
 ' he 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 unto the Lord, and said, "We 
 have sinned, because we have forsaken the Lord, 
 *and have served Baalim and Ashtaroth : but now 
 "deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we 
 will serve thee. 
 
 11 And the Lord sent = Jerubbaal, and Bedan, 
 and "Jephthah, and 'Samuel, and delivered you out 
 of the hand of your enemies on every side, and ye 
 dwelled safe. 
 
 12 And when ye saw that c Nahash the king of 
 the children of Amnion came against you, ''ye said 
 
 over 
 
 I. SAMUEL. 
 
 king 
 
 shall 
 
 reign 
 
 us 
 
 unio me, Nay; but a 
 
 when e the Lord your God was your king. 
 
 13 Now therefore, J behold the king ^whorn ye 
 have chosen, and whom ye have desired ! and be- 
 hold, A the Lord hath set a king over you. 
 
 14 If ye will 'fear the Lord, and serve him, and 
 obey his voice, and not rebel against the f com- 
 mandment of the Lord, then shall both ye, and 
 also the king; that reigneth over you, f continue 
 following the Lord your God. 
 
 1 5 But if ye will *not obey the voice of the Lord, 
 but rebel against the commandment of the Lord, 
 then shall the hand of the Lord be against you, 'as 
 it was against your fathers. 
 
 16 IF Now therefore m stand and see this great 
 thing, which the Lord will do before your eyes. 
 
 17 Is it not "wheat-harvest to-day? "I will call 
 unto the Lord, and he shall send thunder and rain; 
 that ye may perceive and see that /J your wickedness 
 is great, which ye have done in the sight of the 
 Lord, in asking you a king. 
 
 18 So Samuel called unto the Lord; and the 
 Lord sent thunder and rain that day: and 7 all the 
 people greatly feared the Lord and Samuel. 
 
 19 And all the people said unto Samuel, 'Pray 
 for thy servants unto the Lord thy God, that we 
 die not : for we have added ' unto all our sins this 
 evil, to ask us a king. 
 
 20 IF And Samuel said unto the people, Fear 
 not: ye have done all this wickedness: yet turn 
 not aside from following the Lord, but serve the 
 Lord with all your heart. 
 
 21 And 'turn ye not aside: 'for then should ye go 
 after vain things, which cannot profit nor deliver; 
 for they are vain. 
 
 _ 22 For "the Lord will not forsake his people 'for 
 his great name's sake: because y \t hath pleased the 
 Lord to make you his people.

 1 Saul's selected band. 3 He calleth the Hebrew* to Gilgal against the 
 
 Philistines. 
 
 SAUL f reigned one year; and when he had 
 reigned two years over Israel, 
 
 2 Saul chose him three thousand men of Israel; 
 whereof two thousand were with Saul in Michmash 
 and in mount Beth-el, and a thousand were with 
 Jonathan in a Gibeah of Benjamin : and the rest of 
 the people he sent every man to his tent. 
 
 3 And Jonathan smote 'the garrison of the Phi- 
 listines that was in || Geba; and the Philistines 
 heard of it. And Saul blew' the trumpet throughout 
 all the land, saying, Let the Hebrews hear. 
 
 4 And all Israel heard say that Saul had smitten 
 a garrison of the Philistines, and that Israel also fwas 
 had in abomination with the Philistines : and the 
 people were called together after Saul to Gilgal. 
 
 5 IF And the Philistines gathered themselves toge- 
 ther to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and 
 six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which 
 is on the sea-shore in multitude : and they came up, 
 and pitched in Michmash, eastward from Beth-aven. 
 
 6 When the men of Israel saw that they were in 
 a strait, (for the people were distressed,) then tho 
 people c did hide themselves in caves, and in thickets, 
 and in rocks, and in high places, 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 f followed him 
 trembling. 
 
 8 If And he tarried seven days, according to the set 
 time that Samuel had appointed: 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 peace-offerings. And he offered the 
 
 me, 
 burnt-offering. 
 
 as soon as 
 burnt-offering, 
 
 le had 
 
 behold, 
 
 10 And it came to pass, that 
 made an end of offering the 
 
 Samuel came ; and Saul went out to meet"him, that 
 he might | salute him. 
 
 11 IF And Samuel said, What hast thou done? 
 And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were 
 scattered from me, and that thou earnest not within 
 the days appointed, 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 t made 
 supplication unto the Lord: I forced myself there- 
 fore, and offered a burnt-offering. 
 
 13 And Samuel said to Saul, 'Thou hast done 
 foolishly: Ahou hast not kept the commandment 
 of the Lord thy God, which he commanded thee: 
 for now would the Lord have established thy king- 
 dom upon Israel for ever. 
 
 14 *But now thy kingdom shall not continue : ''the 
 Lord hath sought him a man after his own heart, 
 and the Lord hath commanded him to he captain 
 over his people, because thou hast not kept that 
 which the Lord commanded fhee. 
 
Jonathan and his armour-bearer 
 
 15 And Samuel arose, and gat him up from 
 Gilgal unto Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul num- 
 bered the people that were f present with him, about 
 six hundred men. 
 
 1G And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people 
 that were present with them, abode in f Gibeah of Ben- 
 jamin: but the Philistines encamped in Michmash. 
 
 17 IT And the spoilers came out of the camp of 
 the Philistines in three companies: one company 
 turned unto the way that leadcth to *Ophrah, unto 
 the land of Shual: 
 
 18 And another company turned the way to 
 'Beth-horon: and another company turned to the 
 way of the border that looketh to the valley of 
 "'Zeboim toward the wilderness. 
 
 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 Phi- 
 listines, to sharpen every man his share, and his 
 coulter, and his axe, and his mattock. 
 
 21 Yet they had \ a file for the mattocks, and 
 for the coulters, and for the forks, and for the 
 axes, and f to 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 ''And the il garrison of the Philistines went 
 out to the passage of Michmash. 
 
 CHAP. XIV. 
 
 Jonathan gotlh and miraculously smiteih the Philistines' garrison. 
 
 NOW || it came to pass upon a day, that Jonathan 
 the son of Saul said unto the young man that 
 bare his armour, Come, and let us go over to the 
 Philistines' garrison that is on the other side. But 
 he told not his father. 
 
 2 And Saul tarried in the uttermost part of 
 Gibeah under a pomegranate-tree which is in Mig- 
 ron: and the people that tvere with him ivere "about 
 six hundred men; 
 
 3 And ''Ahiah, the son of Ahitub, c I-chabod's 
 brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the 
 Lord's priest in Shiloh, "wearing an ephod. And 
 the people knew not that Jonathan was gone. 
 
 4 II And between the passages by which Jonathan 
 sought to go over e unto the Philistines' garrison, 
 there was 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 t forefront of the one tvas situate north- 
 ward over against Michmash, and the other south- 
 ward over against Gibeah. 
 
 6 And Jonathan said to the young man that bare 
 his armour, Come, and let us go over unto the gar- 
 rison of these uncircumcised : it may be that the 
 Lord will work for us : for there is no restraint to 
 the Lord 'to save by many or by few. 
 
 7 And his armour-bearer said unto him, Do all 
 that is in thine heart: turn thee; behold, I am 
 with thee according to thine heart. 
 
 8 Then said J onathan, Behold, we will pass over un- 
 to these men, and we will discover ourselves unto them. 
 
 9 If they say thus unto us, f Tarry until we 
 come to you ; then we will stand still in our place, 
 and will not go up unto them.

 10 But if they say thus, Come up unto us; then 
 we will go up: for the Lord hath delivered them 
 into our hand ; and * this shall be a sign unto us. 
 
 11 And both of them discovered themselves unir 
 the garrison of the Philistines: and the Philistines 
 said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of the 
 holes where they had hid themselves. 
 
 12 And the men of the garrison answered Jona- 
 than and his armour-bearer, and said, Come up to us, 
 and we will shew you a thing. And Jonathan said 
 unto his armour-bearer, Come up alter me : for the 
 Lord 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 Jonathan; and his armour-bearer 
 slew after him. 
 
 14 And that first slaughter, which Jonathan and 
 his armour-bearer made, was about twenty men, 
 within as it were || an half-acre of land, which 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 trembled, and the earth 
 quaked: so it was t'a very great trembling. 
 
 16 And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Ben 
 jamin looked; and behold, the multitude melted 
 away, and they "'went on beating down one another. 
 
 17 Then said Saul unto the people t\miwere with 
 him, Number now, and see who is gone from us. 
 And when they had numbered, behold, Jonathan 
 and his armour-bearer were not there. 
 
 18 And- Saul said unto Ahiah, Bring hither the 
 ark of God. For the ark of God was at that time 
 with the children of Israel. 
 
 19 If And it came to pass while Saul "talked unto 
 the priest, that the || noise that was in ihe host of 
 the Philistines went on, and increased: and Saul 
 said unto the priest, Withdraw thine hand. 
 
 20 And Saul and all the people that were with him 
 t assembled themselves, and they came to the battle : 
 and behold, "every man's sword was against his 
 fellow, and there was a very great discomfiture. 
 
 21 Moreover, the Hebrews that were with the 
 Philistines before that time, which went up with 
 them into the camp from the country round about, 
 even they also turned to be with the Israelites that 
 were with Saul and Jonathan. 
 
 22 Likewise all the men of Israel which /'had 
 hid themselves in mount Ephraim, when they heard 
 that the Philistines fled, even they also followed 
 hard after them in the battle. 
 
 23 * So the Lord saved Israel that day : and the 
 battle passed over r unto Beth-aven. 
 
 24 If And the men of Israel were distressed that 
 day: for Saul had 'adjured the people, saying, 
 Cursed be the man that eateth any food until evening, 
 that I may be avenged on mine enemies. So none 
 of the people tasted any food. 
 
 25 'And all they of the land came to a wood; an 
 there was "honey upon the ground. 
 
 26 And when the people were come into the wood, 
 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 fatliei 
 charged the people with the oath : wherefore he pul 
 forth the end of the rod that was in his hand, and 
 dipped it in an honey-comb, and put his hand to 
 his mouth; and his eyes were enlightened. 
 
 197 
 
Jonathan taken by bt, and rescued. 
 
 28 Then answered one of the people, and said, 
 Thy father straitly charged the people with an oath, 
 Baying, Cursed be the man that eateth any food this 
 da}'-. 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 1 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 flew upon the spoil, and took 
 sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slew them on the 
 ground : and the people did eat them x with the blood. 
 
 33 IT Then they told Saul, saying, Behold, the 
 people sin against the Lord, in that they eat with 
 the blood. And he said, Ye have || transgressed : 
 roll a great stone unto me this day. 
 
 34 And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the 
 people, and say unto them, Bring me hither every 
 man his ox, and every man his sheep, and sky them 
 here, and eat; and sin not against the Lord in eating 
 with the blood. And all the people brought every man 
 his ox fwith him that night, and slew them there. 
 
 35 And Saul y built an altar unto the Lord : f the 
 same was the first altar that he built unto the Lord. 
 
 36 IT And Saul said, Let us go down after the Phi- 
 listines by night, and spoil them until the morning 
 light, and let us not leave a man of them. And they 
 said, Do whatsoever seemeth good unto thee. Then 
 said the priest, Let us draw near hither unto Gocl. 
 
 37 And Saul asked counsel of God, Shall I go 
 down after the Philistines ? wilt thou deliver them 
 into the hand of Israel? But *he ansAvered him 
 Dot that day. 
 
 38 And Saul said, "Draw ye near hither all the 
 t chief of the people : and know and see wherein 
 this sin hath been this day. 
 
 39 For *«$ the Lord liveth, which saveth Israel, 
 though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely 
 die. But there was not a man among all the people 
 that answered him. 
 
 40 Then said he unto all Israel, Be ye on one 
 side, and I and Jonathan my son will Be on the 
 other side. And the people said unto Saul, Do 
 what seemeth good unto thee. 
 
 41 Therefore Saul said unto the Lord God of 
 Israel, || c Give a perfect tot. d And Saul and Jona- 
 than were taken: but the people f escaped. 
 
 42 And Saul said, Cast tots 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, 
 r l did but taste a little honey with the end of the 
 «)d that was in mine hand, and lo, I must die. 
 
 44 And Saul answered, 4 'God do so, and more 
 also: A for thou shalt surely die, Jonathan. 
 
 45 And the people said unto Saul, Shall Jonathan 
 die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? 
 God forbid: 'as the Lord liveth, there shall not one 
 hair of his head fall to the ground; for he hath 
 wrought with God this day. So the people rescued 
 Jonathan, that he died not. 
 
 46 Then Saul went up from following the Philis- 
 tines: and the Philistines went to their own place. 
 
 47 HSo Said took the kingdom over Israel, and

 Saul sent to destroy Amaleh. 
 
 fought against all his enemies on every side, against 
 Moab, and against the children of '* Amnion, and 
 against Edom, and against the kings of 'Zobah, and 
 against the Philistines : and whithersoever he turned 
 himself, he vexed them. 
 
 48 And he j| gathered an host, and "'smote the 
 Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands 
 of them that spoiled them. 
 
 49 Now "the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and 
 Ishui, and Melchi-shua: and (he 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 f Abner, 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 sore war against the Philistines 
 all the days of Saul : and when Saul saw any strong 
 man, or any valiant man, ''he took him unto him. 
 
 CHAP. XV. 
 
 Samuel sendcth Said to d'tlroy Amalck. 
 
 CAMTJEL also said unto Saul, "The Lord sent me 
 ^ to anoint thee to be king over his people, over 
 Israel : now therefore hearken thou unto the voice 
 of the words of the Lord. 
 
 2 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, I remember that 
 which Amalek did to Israel, *how he laid wait for 
 him in the way, when he came up from Egypt. 
 
 3 Now go and smite Amalek, and c utterLy 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 hundred thousand 
 footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah. 
 
 5 And Saul came to a cit}' of Amalek, and || laid 
 wait in the valley. 
 
 6 HAnd Saul said unto ''the Kenites, f Go, de- 
 part, get you down from among the Amalekites, 
 lest I destroy you with them : for ^ye shewed kind- 
 ness to all the children of Israel when they came 
 up out of Egypt. So the Kenites departed from 
 among the Amalekites. 
 
 7 * And Saul smote the Amalekites from A 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 fat- 
 lings, and the lambs, and all that ivas good, and would 
 not utterly destroy them : but every thing that was 
 vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly. 
 
 10 II Then came the word of the Lord unto 
 Samuel, saying, 
 
 11 "It repenteth me that I have set up Saul to 
 be king : for he is ° turned back from following me, 
 ''and hath not performed my commandments. And 
 it q grieved Samuel; and he cried unto the Lord 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 piace, and is 
 gone about, and passed on, and gone down to GiJgal. 
 13 And Samuel came to Saul : and Saul said 
 unto him, s Blessed be thou of the Loud: I h«\ve 
 performed the commandment of the Lord. 
 
Saul's humiliation. 
 
 14 And Samuel said. What meanelh then this 
 bleating of the sheep in mine ears, 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 unto the Lord 
 thy God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed. 
 
 16 Then Samuel said unto Saul, Stay, and I will 
 tell thee what the Lord hath said to me this night. 
 And he said unto 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 the Lord anointed thee king- 
 over Israel? 
 
 18 And the Lord sent thee on a journey, and said, 
 Go, and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, 
 and fi°;ht against them until fthey be consumed. _ 
 
 19 "Wherefore then didst thou not obey the voice 
 of the Lord, but didst fly upon the spoil, and diclst 
 evil hi the sight of the Lord ? 
 
 20 And Saul said unto Samuel, Yea, * I have obeyed 
 the voice of the Lord, and have gone the way which 
 the Lord sent me, and have brought Agag the king 
 of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites. 
 
 21 y But the people took of the spoil, sheep and 
 oxen, the chief of the things, which should have 
 been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice unto the Lord 
 thy God in Gilgal. 
 
 22 And Samuel said, *IIath the Lord as great de- 
 light in burnt-offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying 
 the voice of the Lord? Behold, "to obey is better 
 than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. 
 
 23 For rebellion is as the sin of f witchcraft, and 
 stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because 
 thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, *he hath 
 also rejected thee from being king. 
 
 24 'if c And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: 
 for 1 have transgressed the commandment of the 
 Lord, 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 the Lord. 
 
 26 And Samuel said unto Saul, I will not return 
 with thee: e for thou hast rejected the Avord of the 
 Lord, and the Lord hath rejected thee from being 
 kir.ig over Israel. 
 
 17 And as Samuel turned about to go away, -^he 
 lai I hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent. 
 
 J8 And Samuel said unto him, B The Lord hath 
 re* it the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and 
 hfuh given it to a neighbour of thine that is better 
 tlMn thou. 
 
 29 And also the || Strength of Israel ''will not lie 
 nor repent : for he is not a man, that he should repent. 
 
 30 Then he said, I have sinned : yet 'honour me 
 now, I pray thee, before the elders of my people, 
 and before Israel, and turn again with me, that I 
 <nay worship the Lord thy God. 
 
 31 So Samuel turned again after Saul; and Saul 
 worshipped the Lord. 
 
 32 IfThen said Samuel, Bring 
 Agag the king of the Amalekites. 
 unto him delicately. And Agag 
 bitterness of death is past. 
 
 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 
 neibre the Lord in Gilgal.

 4 And Samuel lid that which the Lord spake, 
 and came to Beth-lehem. And the elders of the 
 town h trembled at his | coming, and said, 'Comest 
 thou peaceably ? 
 
 5 And he said, Peaceably : I am come to sacri- 
 fice unto the Lord : ^-sanctify } r ourselves, and come 
 with me to the sacrifice. And he sanctified Jesse 
 and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice. 
 
 6 IT And it came to pass when they were come, 
 that he looked on 'Eliab, and '"said, Surely the 
 Lord's anointed it before him. 
 
 7 But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on 
 "his countenance, or on the height of his stature* 
 because I have refused him : "for the LOUD seeth not 
 as man seeth; for man ''looketh on the f outward 
 appearance, but the Lord looketh on the ? heart. 
 
 8 Then Jesse called 'Abinadab, and made him 
 pass before Samuel. And he said, Neither hath 
 the Lord chosen this. 
 
 9 Then Jesse made *|l Shammah to pass by. And 
 he said, Neither hath the Lord chosen this. 
 
 10 Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass 
 before Samuel : and Samuel said unto Jesse, The 
 Lord hath not chosen these. 
 
 11 And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy 
 children ? And he said, ' There remaineth yet the 
 youngest, and behold, he keepeth the sheep. And 
 Samuel said unto Jesse, " Send and fetch him : for 
 we will not sit f down till he come hither. 
 
 12 And he sent, and brought him in. Now he 
 was x ruddy, and withal fof a beautiful countenance, 
 and goodly to look to. y And the Lord said, Arise, 
 anoint him : for this is he. 
 
 13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and s anoint- 
 ed him in the midst of his brethren : and "the Spirit 
 of the Lord came upon David from that day for- 
 ward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Banian. 
 
 14 IF 6 But the Spirit of the Lord departed from 
 Saul, and c an evil spirit from the Lord || troubled him 
 
 15 And Saul's servants said unto him, Behold 
 now, an evil spirit from God troubleth thee. 
 
 16 Let our lord now command thy servants, which 
 are ''before thee, to seek out a man who is a cunning 
 player on an harp : and it shall come to pass, when 
 the evil spirit from Gcd is upon thee, that he shall 
 "play with his hand, and thou shalt be well. 
 
 17 And Saul said unto his servants. Provide me 
 
 now a man that can 
 
 PlayTV 
 
 ell, and bring him to me 
 
Goliath challengeth all Israel. 
 
 I. SAM UEL 
 
 18 Then answered one of the servants, and said, 
 Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Beth-lehemite, 
 that is cunning in playing, and •'a mighty valiant 
 man, and a man of war, and prudent in || matters, 
 and a comely person, and *the Lord is with him. 
 
 19 IF Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, 
 and said, Send me David thy son, which is with 
 the sheep. 
 
 20 And Jesse 'took an ass laden with bread, and 
 a bottle of wine, and a kid, and sent them by David 
 his son unto 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 an harp, and 
 played with his hand : so Saul was refreshed, and 
 was well, and the evil spirit departed from him. 
 
 CHAP. XVII. 
 
 Goliath cometh forth to challenge a combat with the Israelites. 
 
 NOW the Philistines "gathered together their ar- 
 mies to battle, and were gathered together at 
 'Shochoh, which belong eth to Judah, and pitched be- 
 tween 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 
 f set the battle in array against the Philistines. 
 
 3 And the Philis tines stood on a mountain 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 
 camp of the Philistines, named c Goliath, of ''Gath, 
 whose height ivas six cubits and a span. 
 
 5 And he had An helmet of brass upon his head, and 
 he toas farmed with a coat of mail; and the weight 
 of the coat was five thousand shekels of brass. 
 
 6 And he had greaves of brass upon his legs, and 
 a || target of brass between his shoulders. 
 
 7 And the 'staff of his spear ivas like a weaver's 
 beam ; and his spear's head weighed six hundred she- 
 kels of iron: and one bearing a shield went before him. 
 
 8 And he stood and cried unto the armies of 
 Israel, and said unto them, Why are ye come out 
 to set your battle in array? am not I a Philistine, 
 and ye •'servants to Saul? choose ye a man for 
 you, and let him come down to me. 
 
 9 If he be able to fight with me, and t( kill me, 
 then will we be your servants: but if I prevail 
 against him, and kill him, then shall ye be our 
 servants, and s serve us. 
 
 10 And the Philistine said,I A 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 dismayed, and greatly afraid. 
 
 12 II Now David was 'the son of that A Ephrathite 
 of Beth-lehem-judah, whose name ivas 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 m names of his 
 three sons that went to the battle were Eliab the 
 first-born, and next unto him Abinadab, and the 
 third Shammah. 
 
 14 And David was the youngest : and the three 
 eldest followed Saul.

 David accejdeth 'he challenge, 
 
 15 But David went and returned from Saul "to 
 feed his father's sheep at Beth-lehem. 
 
 16 And the Philistine drew near morning and 
 evening, and presented himself forty day®. 
 
 17 And Jesse said unto David his son, Take now 
 for thy brethren an ephah of this parched corn, and 
 these ten loaves, and run to the camp to thy brethren : 
 
 18 And carry these ten f cheeses unto the f cap- 
 tain of their thousand, and "look how thy brethren 
 fare, and take their pledge. 
 
 19 Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, 
 were in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines. 
 
 20 HAnd David rose up early in the morning, 
 and left the sheep with a keeper, and took, and 
 went, as Jesse had commanded him; and he came 
 
 to the || trench, as the host was 
 
 going 
 
 forth to th( 
 
 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 | his carriage in the hand of 
 the keeper of the carriage, and ran into the army, 
 and came and f saluted his brethren. 
 
 23 And as he talked with them, behold, there came 
 up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by 
 name, out of the armies of the Philistines, and spake 
 ^ according 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 sore 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 
 9 will give him his daughter, and make his fathers 
 house free in Israel. 
 
 26 And David spake 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 living God? 
 
 27 And the people answered him after this man 
 ner, saying, r So shall it be done to the man that 
 killeth him. 
 
 28 HAnd Eliab his eldest brother heard when 
 he spake unto the men ; and Eliab's v anger was 
 kindled against David, and he said, Why earnest 
 thou down hither? and with Avhom hast thou left 
 those few sheep in the wilderness ? I know thy 
 pride, and the naughtiness of thine 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 HAnd he turned from him toward another 
 and "spake after the same f manner: and the people 
 answered him again after the former manner. 
 
 31 And when the words were heard which 
 David spake, they rehearsed them before Saul : and 
 he f sent for him. 
 
 32 HAnd David said to Saul. *Lct no man's 
 heart fail because of him; 'thy servant will eo and 
 fight with this Philistine. 
 
 33 And Saul said to David, ''Thou art not able to 
 go against this Philistine to fight with him : for thou 
 art but a youth, and he a man of n-ar from his youth. 
 
 34 And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept 
 his father's she^p, 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 meutl and when he arose 
 
and slayclh Goliath. 
 
 chap. xvm. 
 
 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 Philistine shall be as one of 
 them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the livingGod. 
 
 37 David said moreover, ' The Lord that delivered 
 me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of 
 the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this 
 Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and •/'the 
 Lord be with thee. 
 
 38 irAnd Saul farmed David with his armour, 
 and he put an helmet of brass upon his head; also 
 he armed him with a coat of mail. 
 
 39 And David girded his sword upon his armour, 
 and he assayed to go ; for he had not proved it. And 
 David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these, for I 
 have not proved them. And David put them off him. 
 
 40 And he took his staff in his hand, and chose 
 him five smooth stones out of the || brook and put 
 them in a shepherd's f bag which he had, even in a 
 scrip ; and his sling was in his hand : and he drew 
 near to the Philistine. 
 
 41 And the Philistine came on, and drew near 
 unto David; and the man that bare the shield went 
 Defore him. 
 
 42 And Avhen the Philistine looked about, and 
 ■saw David, he ^ disdained him: for he was but a 
 youth, and h ruddy, and of a fair countenance. 
 
 43 And the Philistine said unto David, ■ Am I a 
 dog, that thou comest to me Avith staves ? and the 
 Philistine cursed David by his gods. 
 
 44 And the Philistine A "said to David, Come to 
 me, and I will give thy flesh unto 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 
 shield: 'but I come to thee in the name of the Lord 
 of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou 
 hast "defied. 
 
 46 This day will the Lord f deliver thee into 
 mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine 
 head from thee; and I will give "the carcasses of 
 the host of the Philistines this day unto 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 the Lord 
 s saveth not with sword and spear: for 'the battle 
 is the Lord's, and he will give you into our hands. 
 
 48 And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, 
 and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David 
 hasted, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine. 
 
 49 And David put his hand in his bag, and took 
 thence a stone, and slang 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 Philistine 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 Therefore David ran and stood upon the Philis- 
 tine, 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 their champion was 
 iead, ' they fled. 
 
 52 And the men of Israel and of Judah arose, and 
 
 shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until thou come 
 
 to the valley, and to the gates of Ekron. And the 
 
 wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to 
 
 Shaaraim, even unto Gath. and unto Micron.

 54 And David took the head of the Philistine, and 
 brought it to Jerusalem ; but he put his armour in In- 
 tent. 
 
 55 IT And when Saul saw David go forth against 
 the Philistine, he said unto Aimer the captain of th* 
 host, Aimer, "whose son is this youth? And Aimer 
 said, As thy soul liveth, O king, I cannot tell. 
 
 56 And the king said, Inquire thou whose son the

 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, thou 
 young man? And David answered, y I am the son ot 
 thy servant Jesse the Beth-lehcmite. 
 
 CHAP. XVIII. 
 
 1 Jonathan loveth David. 5 Saul envieih his praise. 
 
 AND it came to pass, when he had made an end 
 of speaking unto 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, r and would let him 
 go no more home to his father's house. 
 
 3 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. 
 
 5 IF And David went out whithersoever Saul sent 
 him, and || behaved himself wisely : 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 
 servants. 
 
 6 And it came to pass as they came, when David 
 was 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 f instruments of music. 
 
 7 And the women e answered one another as they 
 played, and said, •''Saul hath slain his thousands, and 
 David his ten thousands. 
 
 8 And Saul was very wroth, and the saying f A 'dis- 
 
 E leased him ; and he said, They have ascribed unto 
 >avid ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed 
 but thousands : and ivhat can he have more but ' the 
 kingdom ? 
 
 9 And Saul eyed David from that day and forward 
 
 10 H And it came to pass on the morrow, that 'the 
 evil spirit from God came upon Saul, fc and he prophe- 
 sied in the midst of the house : and David pla}'ed with 
 his hand, as at other times : 'and there was a javelin in 
 Saul's hand. 
 
 11 And Saul '"cast the javelin; for he said, I will 
 smite David even to the Avail with it. And David 
 avoided out of his presence tAvice. 
 
 12 HAnd Saul Avas "afraid of David, because "the 
 Lord Avas Avith him, and Avas /'departed from Saul. 
 
 13 Therefore Saul removed him from him, and 
 made him his captain over a thousand ; and "he went 
 out and came in before the people. 
 
 14 And David || behaved himself wisely in all his; 
 ways; and 'the Lord was with him. 
 
 15 Wherefore Avhen Saul saAv that he behaved him- 
 self very Avisely, he Avas afraid of him. 
 
 16 But 'all Israel and Judah loved David, because 
 he Avcnt out and came in before them. 
 
 201 
 
Michal given David to wife. 
 
 17 If And Saul said to David, Behold, my elder 
 daughter Merab, 'her will I give thee to wife : oruy be 
 thou f valiant for me, and light "the Lord's battles. 
 For Saul said, ^Let not mine hand be upon him, but let 
 the hand of the Philistines be upon him. 
 
 18 And David said unto Saul, ''Who am 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 unto *Adriel the "Meholathite to 
 wife. 
 
 20 6 And Michal, Saul's daughter, loved David: 
 and they told Saul, and the thing f pleased him. 
 
 21 And Saul said, I will give him her, that she may 
 be c a snare to him, 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, in the one of the 
 twain. 
 
 22 IT And Saul commanded his servants, saying, 
 Commune with David secretly, and say, Behold, the 
 king hath delight in thee, and all his servants love 
 thee: now therefore be the king's son-in-law. 
 
 23 And Saul's servants spake 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 On this manner spake David. 
 
 25 And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to David, The 
 idng desire th not any J dowry, but an hundred fore- 
 skins of the Philistines, to be s avenged of the king's 
 enemies. But Saul h thought to made 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 f expired. 
 
 27 Wherefore David arose and went, he and fc his 
 men, and slew of the Philistines two hundred men; 
 and 'David brought their foreskins, and they gave 
 them in full tale to the king, that he might be the 
 king's son-in-law. And Saul gave him Michal his 
 daughter to wife. 
 
 28 HAnd Saul saw and knew that the Lord was with 
 David, aid that Michal, Saul's daughter, loved him. 
 
 29 And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; 
 and Saul became David's enemy continually. 
 
 f>0 Then the princes of the Philistines '" went forth : 
 and it came to pass, after they went forth, that David 
 "behaved himself more wisely than all the servants 
 of Saul : so that his name was much f set by.

 Jonathan liscloseth his fat tier's purpose lo kill David. 
 
 ND Saul spake 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, sajdng. Saul my 
 fathe," seeketh to kill thee: now therefore, I pray thee, 
 Lake 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 commune with 
 my father of thee ; and what I see, that I will tell thee. 
 
 4 H And Jonathan * spake good of David unto Saul 
 his father, and said unto him, Let not the king c sin 
 against his servant, against David ; because he hath 
 not sinned against thee, and because his works have 
 hen to thte-ward very good.

 5 For he did put his ''life in his hand, and 'slew 
 the Philistine, and -^ the Lord wrought a great salva- 
 tion for all Israel : thou sawest it, and didst rejoice : 
 8 wherefore then wilt thou ''sin against innocent blood, 
 to slay David without a cause? 
 
 6 And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathnn : 
 and Saul sware, As the Lord liveth, he shall not, be 
 slain. 
 
 7 And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan shew- 
 ed him all those things. And Jonathan brought 
 David to Saul, and he was in his presence, 'as tin 
 times past. 
 
 8 II And there was war again: and David went 
 out, r,nd fought with the Philistines, and slew them 
 with a great slaughter; and they fled from fhim. 
 
 9 And *the evil spirit from the Lord was upon 
 Saul, as he sat in his house with his javelin in his 
 hand : and David played with his hand. 
 
 10 And Saul sought to smite David even to the wall 
 with the javelin; but he slipped away out of Saul's 
 presence, and he smote the javelin into the wall: and 
 David fled, and escaped that night. 
 
 11 ' Saul also sent messengers unto 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 shalt be slain. 
 
 12 II So Michal '"let David down through a win- 
 dow: and he went, and fled, and escaped. 
 
 13 And Michal took an f image, and laid it in the 
 bed, and put a pillow 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 ] 
 may slay him. 
 
 16 And when the messengers were come in, behold^ 
 there was an image in the bed, With a pillow of goats' 
 hair for his bolster. 
 
 17 And Saul said unto Michal, Why hast thou de- 
 ceived me so, and sent away mine enemy, that he ia 
 escaped? and Michal answered Saul, lie said unto 
 me, Let me go; "why should I kill thee? 
 
 18 HSo 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, 
 ''and when they saw the company of the prophets- 
 prophesying, and Samuel standing as appointed over 
 them, the Spirit of God was upon the messengers oi 
 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 well that is in Sechu : and he asked and said, 
 Where are Samuel and David ? And one said, Behold, 
 they be at Naioth in Ramah. 
 
 23 And he went thither to Naioth in Ramah 
 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 pro- 
 phesied before Samuel in like manner, and t lay down 
 'naked all that day and all that night. Wherefore 
 they say, "Is Saul also among the prophets?

 David c.onsulteth with Jonathan for his safety. 
 
 AND David fled from Naioth in Raman, 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 unto him, God forbid ; thou shalt not 
 die : behold, my father will do nothing either great 
 or small, but that he will f shew it me : and why 
 should my father hide this thing from me ? it is not so. 
 
 3 And David sware moreover, and said, Thy father 
 certainly knoweth that I have found grace in thine 
 eyes; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest 
 he be grieved : but truly as the Lord liveth, and as 
 thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and 
 death. 
 
 4 Then said Jonathan unto David, || Whatsoever 
 thy soul f desireth, I will even do it for thee. 
 
 5 And David said unto Jonathan, Behold, to-mor- 
 row is the "new moon, and I should not fail to sit 
 with the king at meat : but let me go, that I may 
 b hide myself in the field unto the third day at even. 
 
 6 If thy father at all miss me, then say, David 
 earnestly asked leave of me, that he might run c to 
 Bethlehem his city: for there is a yearly || sacrifice 
 there for all the family. 
 
 7 ''If he say thus, // is well : thy servant shall have 
 pejice: but if he be very wroth, then be sure that 
 'evil is determined by him.

 covenant of the Lord with thee : notwithstanding, 
 *if there be in me iniquity, slay me thyself; for why 
 shouldest thou bring me to thy father? 
 
 9 And Jonathan said, Far be it from thee : for if 
 I knew certainly that evil were determined 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 answer thee roughly ? 
 
 11 IT And Jonathan said unto David, Come, and let 
 us go out into the field. And they went out both of 
 them into the field. 
 
 12 And Jonathan said unto David, Lord God 
 of Israel, when I have f sounded my father about 
 tomorrow any time, or the third day, and behold, if 
 ihtre be good tow r ard David, and I then send not unto 
 thv)e, and tshew it thee; 
 
 L3 'The Lord do so and much more to Jonathan: 
 but if it please my father to do thee evil, then I will 
 show it thee, and send thee away, that thou mayest 
 go in peace: and Hhe Lord be with thee, as he hath 
 beon with my father. 
 
 14 And thou shalt not only while yet I live shew 
 me the kindness of the Lord, that I die not : 
 
 15 But also 'thou shalt not cut off thy kindness 
 from my house for ever : no, not when the Lord hath 
 cut off the enemies of David every one from the 
 face of the earth. 
 
 16 So Jonathan f made a covenant with the house 
 of David, saying, m Let the Lord even require it at 
 the hand of David's enemies. 
 
 17 And Jonathan caused David to swear again, 
 II because he loved him: "for he loved him as he loved 
 his own soul. 
 
 18 Then Jonathan said to David, "To-morrow is 
 the new-moon : and thou shalt be missed, because thy 
 seat will be f empty.

 20 And I will shoot three arrows on the side thereof. 
 as though I shot at a mark. 
 
 21 And behold, I will send a lad, saying, Go, find

 Behold, the arrows are on this side of thee, take them ; 
 then come thou: for there is peace to thee, and fno

 22 But if I say thus unto the young man, Behold, 
 the arrows ore beyond thee; go thy way: for the 
 Lord hath sent thee away. 
 
 23 And as touching 'the matter Avhich thou and I 
 have spoken of, behold, the Lord be between thee 
 and me for ever. 
 
 24 H So David hid himself in the field : and when 
 the new r -moon was come, the king sat him down tn 
 eat meat. 
 
 25 And the king sat upon his seat, as at other times, 
 even upon a seat by the Avail: and Jonathan arose, 
 and Abner sat by Saul's side, and David's place was 
 empty. 
 
 26 Nevertheless Saul spake not any thing that 
 day : for he thought, Something hath befallen him, 
 he is s 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 unto Jonathan his son, Where- 
 fore cometh not the son of Jesse to meat, neither 
 yesterday, nor to day ? 
 
 28 And Jonathan 'answ T ered Saul, David earnestly 
 asked leave of me to go to Bethlehem : 
 
 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 . 
 have found favour in thine eyes, let me get away, I 
 pray thee, and see my brethren. Therefore he com- 
 eth not unto the king's table. 
 
 30 Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jona- 
 than, and he said unto him, || f Thou son of the per- 
 verse rebellious woman, do not I know that thou hast 
 chosen the son of Jesse to thine own confusion, and 
 unto the confusion of thy mother's nakedness ? 
 
 31 For as long as the son of Jesse liveth upon the 
 ground, thou shall not be established, nor thy king- 
 dom. Wherefore now send and fetch him unto me, 
 for he f shall surely die. 
 
 32 And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and 
 said unto him, "Wherefore shall he be slain? what 
 hath he done? 
 
 33 And Saul a 'cast a javelin at him to smite him : 
 y whereby Jonathan knew that it was determined 
 of his father to slay David. 
 
 34 So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce an- 
 ger, and did eat no meat the second day of the month : 
 for he was grieved for David, because his father had 
 done him shame. 
 
 35 HAnd it came to pass in the morning, that 
 Jonathan went out into the field at the time appoint- 
 ed with David, and a little lad w T ith him. 
 
 36 And he said unto his lad. Run, find out now 
 the arrows which I shoot. And as the lad ran, he 
 shot an arrow f beyond him. 
 
 37 And when the lad w r as come to the place of 
 the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried 
 after the lad, and said, Is not the arrow beyond thee 1

 39 But the lad knew not any thing : only Jona-

 40 And Jonathan gave his f artillery unto this 
 lad, and said unto him, Go, carry them to the city. 
 
 41 7H And as soon as the lad was gone, David arose 
 out of a place toward the south, and fell on his face 
 to the ground, and bowed himself three times: and 
 they kissed one another, and wept one with another, 
 until David exceeded. 
 
 42 And Jonathan said to David, z Go in peace, 
 II forasmuch as we have sworn both of us in the name 
 of the Lord, saying, The Lord be between me and 
 thee, and between my seed and thy seed for ever. 
 And he arose and departed : and Jonathan went

 David at Nob oblaineth of Ahimelcch hallowed bread. 
 
 rPHEN came David to Nob to fl Ahimelech the 
 -*- priest: and Ahimelech was * afraid at the meet- 
 ing of David, and said unto him, Why art thou alone, 
 and no man with thee? 
 
 2 And David said unto Ahimelech the priest, 
 The king hath commanded me a business, and hath 
 said unto me, Let no man know any thing of the 
 business whereabout 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 thine hand ? give 
 me five loaves of oread in mine hand, or what there 
 is tpi'esent. 
 
 4 And the priest answered David, and said, There 
 is no common bread under mine hand, but there is 
 'hallowed bread : d if the young men have kept them- 
 selves at least from women. 
 
 5 And David answered the priest, and said unto 
 him, Of a truth women have been kept from us about 
 these three days, since I came out, and the e vessels 
 of the young men are holy, and the bread is in a man- 
 ner common, j| yea, though it were sanctified this day 
 -fin the vessel, 
 
 6 So the priest *gave him hallowed b'ead: for 
 there was no bread there but the shew-bread, Hhat 
 was taken from before the Lord, to put hot bread in 
 the day when it was taken away. 
 
 7 Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was 
 there that day, detained before the Lord; and his 
 name was 'Doeg, an Edomite, the chiefest of the 
 herdmen that belonged to Saul. 
 
 8 IF And David said unto Ahimelech, And is there 
 not here under thine 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 Goliath the 
 Philistine, whom thou slewest in *the valley of Elah, 
 'behold, it is here Avrapped in a clotn behind the 
 ephod : if thou wilt take that, take it: for there is no 
 other save that here. And David said, There is none 
 like that ; give it me. 
 
 10 IT And David arose, and tied that aay for fear 
 of Saul, and went to || Achish the king of Gath. 
 
 11 And m the servants of Achish said unto him, Is 
 not this David the king of the land ? did they not sing 
 one to another of him in dances, saying, " Saul hath 
 vdain his thousands, and David his ten thousands?

 Companies resort unto David at Adullam. 
 
 DAVID therefore departed thence, and "escaped 
 '"to the cave Adullam.: and when his brethren 
 and all his father's house heard it, they went down 
 thither to him. 
 
 2 c And every one that tvas in distress, and every 
 one that \was in debt, and every one that ivas tdis« 
 contented, gathered themselves unto 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 unto 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 hold. 
 
 5 IF And the prophet ''Gad said unto David, Abiae 
 not in the hold ; depart, and get thee into the land of 
 Judah. Then David departed, 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 || tree in Eamah, having his spear 
 in his hand, and all his servants were standing about 
 him;) 
 
 7 Then Saul said unto his servants that stood 
 about him, Hear now, ye Benjamites; will the son 
 of Jesse c 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 sheweth tuie 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 unto me that 
 my son hath stirred up my servant against me, to lie 
 in wait, as at this day ? 
 
 9 IF Then answered ir Doeg the Edomite, which 
 was set over the servants of Saul, and said, I saw 
 the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to h Ahimelcch tho 
 son of 'Ahitub. 
 
 10 k And he inquired of the Lord for him, and 'gave 
 him victuals, and gave him the sword of Goliath the 
 Philistine. 
 
 11 Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the prieet, 
 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 noAV, thou son of Ahitub. 
 And he answered, tHere I am, my lord. 
 
 13 And Saul said unto him, Why have ye con- 
 spired 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 Dav id . 
 
Raid's cruelty to the privsfs. 
 
 which is the king's son-in-law, and goeth at thy bid- 
 ding, and is honourable in thine house? 
 
 15 Did I then begin to inquire of God for him ? be 
 it far from me. Let not the king impute any thing 
 unto his servant, nor to all the house of my father : for 
 thy servant knew nothing of all this, fless or more. 
 
 1G And the kin» said, Thou shalt surely die, 
 Ahimelech, thou, and all thy father's house. 
 
 17 IF And the king said unto the || f footmen that 
 stood about him, Turn, and slay the priests of the 
 Lord; 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 "'would not put 
 forth their hand to fall upon the priests of the Lord. 
 
 18 And the king said to Doeg, Turn thou, and fall 
 upon the priests. And Doeg the Edomite turned, and 
 he fell upon the priests, and " slew on that day four- 
 score 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 II ; ' And one of the sons of Ahimelech the son 
 of Ahitub, named Abiathar, 'escaped, and fled after 
 David. 
 
 21 And Abiathar shewed David that Saul had 
 slain the Lord's priests. 
 
 22 And David said unto 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 persons 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. 
 
 CHAP. XXIII. 
 
 David inquiring of the Lord by Abiathar, rescueth Kcilah. 
 
 THEN they told David, saying, Behold, the Phil- 
 istines fight against "Keilah, and they rob the 
 threshing-floors. 
 
 2 Therefore David b inquired of the Lord, saying, 
 Shall 1 go and smite these Philistines? And the 
 Lord said unto David, Go, and smite the Philistines, 
 and save Keilah. 
 
 3 And David's men said unto him, Behold, we be 
 afraid here in Judah : how much more then if we 
 come to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines ? 
 
 4 Then David inquired of the Lord yet again. 
 And the Lord answered him and said, Arise, Go 
 doAvn to Keilah; for I will deliver the Philistines 
 into thine hand. 
 
 5 So David and his men went to Keilah, and fought 
 with the Philistines, and brought away their cattle, 
 and smote them with a great slaughter. So David 
 saved the inhabitants of Keilah. 
 
 6 And it came to pass, when Abiathar the son of 
 Ahimelech c 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 mine hand; for he is shut in, by entering into 
 a town that hath sates and bars. 
 
 8 And Saul called all the people together to war, 
 to go down to Keilah, to besiege David and his 
 men. 
 
 9 IF And David knew that Saul secretly practised 
 mischief against him; and d he said to Abiathar the 
 priest, Bring hither the ephod. 
 
 10 Then said David. Lord God of Israel, thy

 servant hath certainly heard thai Saul seeketh to 
 come to Keilah, 'to destroy the city for my sake. 
 
 11 Will the men of Keilah deliver me up into his 
 hand? will Saul come down, as thy servant hath 
 heard ? O Lord God of Israel, I beseech thee, tell 
 thy servant. And the Lord said, He will come 
 down. 
 
 12 Then said David, Will the men of Reilah f de- 
 liver me and my men into the hand of Saul ? And 
 the Lord said, They will deliver thee up. 
 
 13 IF Then David and his men, * which were about 
 six hundred, arose and departed out of Keilah, and 
 went whithersoever they could go. And it was told 
 Saul that David was escaped from Keilah; and b.p 
 forbare to go forth. 
 
 14 And David abode in the wilderness in strong 
 holds, and remained in 4 ' a mountain in the wilderness 
 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 wilderness of Ziph 
 in a wood. 
 
 16 IF And Jonathan Saul's son arose, and went to 
 David into the wood, and strengthened his hand 
 in God. 
 
 17 And he said unto 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 unto thee; 
 and Hhat also Saul my father knoweth. 
 
 18 And they two 'made a covenant before the 
 Lord: and David abode in the wood, and Jonathan 
 went to his house. 
 
 19 IF Then "' came up the Ziphites to Saul to Gibeah, 
 saying, Doth not David hide himself with us in strong 
 holds in the wood, in the hill of Hachilah, which is f on 
 the south of II Jeshimon ? 
 
 20 Now therefore, O king, come down 
 
 according 
 
 to all the desire of thy soul to come down : and " our 
 part shall be to deliver him into the king's hand. 
 
 21 And Saul said, Blessed be ye of the Lord; for 
 ye have compassion on me. 
 
 22 Go, I pray you, prepare yet, and know, and 
 see his place where his f haunt is, and who hath 
 seen him there: for it is told me that he dealeth 
 very subtilly. 
 
 23 See therefore, and take knowledge of all the 
 lurking-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 before Saul : 
 but David and his men were in the wilderness "of 
 Maon in the plain on the south of Jeshimon. 
 
 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 wilderness of Maon. And 
 when Saul heard that, he pursued after David in Ihe 
 wilderness of Maon. 
 
 26 And Saul went on this side of the mountain, 
 and David and his men on that side of the moun- 
 tain: ''and David made haste to get away for fear 
 of Saul; for Saul and his men 'compassed David and 
 his men round about to take them. 
 
 27 IF r But there came a messenger unto Saul, say- 
 ing, Haste thee, and come; for the Philistines have 
 f invaded the land. 
 
 28 Wherefore Saul returned from pursuing after

 in strong holds at 'En-gedi. 
 
 CHAP. xxw. 
 
 David in a c.-ve at En-gedi, having cut off Saul's skirl, spareth his life. 
 
 ND it came to pass, "when Saul was returned 
 from f following the Philistines, that it was told 
 him, saying, Behold, David is in the wilderness 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. 
 
 3 And he came to the sheep-cotes by the way, 
 where was a cave; and c Saul went in to d cover his 
 feet : and e David and his men remained in the sides 
 of the cave. 
 
 4 J And the men of David said unto him, Behold 
 the day of which the Lord said unto thee, Behold, 
 I will deliver thine enemy into thine hand, that thou 
 mayest do to him as it shall seem good unto thee. 
 Then David arose, and cut off the skirt of f Saul's 
 robe privily. 
 
 5 And it came to pass afterward, that e David's 
 heart smote him, because he had cut off Saul's skirt. 
 
 6 And he said unto his men, ''The Lord forbid 
 that I should do this thing unto my master, the 
 Lord's anointed, to stretch forth mine hand against 
 him, seeing he is the anointed of the Lord. 
 
 7 So David f 'stayed 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, saying, 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 
 the Lord had delivered thee to-day into mine hand in 
 '■he cave : and some bade me kill thee ; but mine eye 
 spared thee ; and I said, I will not put forth mine hand 
 against my lord; for he is the Lord'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 
 tame hand, and I have not sinned against thee; yet 
 thou "'huntest my soul to take it. 
 
 12 "The Lord judge between me and thee, and 
 the Lord avenge me of thee : but mine hand shall 
 not be upon thee. 
 
 13 As saith the proverb of the ancients, Wicked- 
 Bess proceedeth from the wicked : but mine 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 9 The Lord therefore be judge, and judge be- 
 tween me and thee, and 'see, and 'plead my cause, 
 and f deliver me out of thine hand. 
 
 1.6 IF And it came to pass when David had made 
 an end of speaking these words unto Saul, that Saul 
 6aid, 'Is this thy voice, my son David? And Saul 
 Lifted up his voice, and wept.

 Samuel dieth. 2 David in Paran sendeth to Nabal. 
 
 ND "Samuel died: ?nd all the Israelites were 
 gathered togethp", and 'lamented him, and bu- 
 ried him in his house at Ramah. And David arose, 
 and went down c to the wilderness of Paran. 
 
 2 And there was a man d in Maon, whose || posses- 
 sions were in e 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. 
 
 3 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 wus churlish and evil in his doings ; and 
 he ivas 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 unto the young men, Get you up to Carmel, and 
 go to Nabal, and f greet him in my name ; 
 
 6 And thus shall ye say to him that liveth in pros- 
 verity, 8 Peace be both to thee, and peace be to thine 
 house, and peace be unto all that thou hast. 
 
 7 And now I have heard that thou hast shearers : 
 now thy shepherds which were with us, we f hurt them 
 not, h neither was there aught missing unto 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 thine 
 eyes : for we come in 'a good clay : give, I pray thee, 
 whatsoever cometh to thme hand unto thy servants, 
 and to thy son David. 
 
 9 And when David's young men came, they spake 
 to Nabal according to all those words in the name 
 of David, and f ceased. 
 
 10 IF And Nabal answered David's servants, and. 
 said, *Who is David? and who is the son of Jesse? 
 there be many servants nojv-a-days that break away 
 every man from his master. 
 
 11 ' Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and 
 my f flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and 
 give it unto men, whom I know not whence they be? 
 
 12 So David's young men turned their way, and 
 went again, and came and told him all those sayings. 
 
 13 And David said unto his men, Gird ye on every 
 man his sword. And they girded on every man his 
 sword; and David also girded on his sword: and 
 there went up after David about four hundred men ; 
 and two hundred m abode by the stuff*. 
 
 14 IFBut one of the young men told Abigai 1, Nabal's 
 
tihlgail by her wisdom pacifieth David. 
 
 wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of 
 the wilderness to salute our master; and he trailed 
 on them. 
 
 15 But the men ivere very good unto us, and "we 
 were not fhurt, neither missed we any thing, as long 
 as we were conversant with them, when we Avere in 
 the fields : 
 
 16 They w r ere "a wall unto 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 7 ' evil is determined against our master, 
 and against all his household : for he is such a son 
 of q Belial, that a man cannot speak to him. 
 
 18 If Then Abigail made haste, and r took two hun- 
 dred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep 
 ready dressed, and five measures of parched corn, and 
 an Hundred || clusters of raisins, and two hundred 
 cakes of figs, and laid them on asses. 
 
 19 And she said unto her servants, 'Go on before 
 xii'i ; behold, I come after you. But she told not her 
 husband Nabal. 
 
 20 And it was so, as she rode on the ass, that she 
 came down by the covert of the hill, and behold, 
 David and his men came down against her; and she 
 met them. 
 
 21 (Now David had said, Surely in vain have 1 
 kept all that this fellow hath in the wilderness, so that 
 nothing was missed of all that pertained unto him: 
 and he hath "requited me evil for good. 
 
 22 x So and more also do God unto the enemies of 
 David, if I y leave of all that pertain to him by the 
 morning light *any that pissetn against the wall.) 
 
 23 And when Abigail saw David, she hasted, "and 
 lighted off 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 thine handmaid, 
 I pray thee, speak in thine f audience, and hear the 
 words of thine handmaid. 
 
 25 Let not my lord, I pray thee, f regard this man 
 of Belial, even Nabal : for as his name is, so is he ; 
 || Nabal is his name, and folly is with him : but 1 thine 
 handmaid saw not the young men of my lord, whom 
 thou didst send. 
 
 26 Now therefore, my lord, b as the Lord liveth, 
 and as thy soul liveth, seeing the Lord hath e with- 
 holden thee from coming to shed blood, and from 
 f rf avenging thyself with thine own hand, now e let 
 thine' enemies, and they that seek evil to my lord, 
 be as Nabal. 
 
 27 And now Ahis || blessing which thine handmaid 
 hath brought unto my lord, let it even be given unto 
 the voung men that \ follow my lord. 
 
 28 1 prajr thee, forgive the trespass of thine hand- 
 maid: for s the Lord will certainly make my lord a 
 sure house; because my lord ; 'fighteth the battles of 
 the Lord, and '"evil hath not been found in thee all 
 thy days. 
 
 29 Yet a man is risen to pursue thee, and to seek 
 thy soul : but the soul of my lord shall be bound in 
 the bundle of life with the Lord thy God; and the 
 souls of thine enemies, them shall he * sling out fas 
 out of the middle of a sling. 
 
 30 And it shall come to pass, when the Lord shall 
 have done to my lord according to all the good that 
 he hath spoken concerning thee, and shall have ap- 
 pointed thee ruler over Israel; 
 
 31 That this shall be f no grief unto thee, nor of-

 fence of heart unto my lord, either lhat thou hast 
 shed blood causeless, or that my lord hath avenged 
 himself: but when the Loud shall have dealt well 
 with my lord, then remember thine handmaid. 
 
 32 If And David said to Abigail, ' Blessed be the Louc 
 God of Israel, which sent thee this day to meet me : 
 
 33 And blessed be thy advice, and blessed be thou, 
 which hast "'kept me this day from coming to shed 
 blood, and from avenging myself with mine own hand 
 
 34 For in very deed, as the Lord Gcd of Israel 
 liveth, which hath "kept me back from hurting thee, 
 except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, 
 surely there had "not been left unto Nabal by the 
 morning light any that pisseth against the wall. 
 
 35 So David received of her hand thai which she 
 had brought him, and said unto her, ;/ Go up in peace 
 to thine 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 drunken: wherefore she told him nothing, less 
 or more, until the morning light. 
 
 37 But it came to pass in the morning, when the 
 wine was gone out of Nabal, and his wife had told 
 him these things, that his heart died within him, and 
 he became as a stone. 
 
 38 And it came to pass about ten days after, that 
 the Lord smote Nabal, that he died. 
 
 39 IfAnd when David heard that Nabal was dead, 
 he said, 'Blessed be the Lord, that hath 'pleaded the 
 cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and 
 hath "kept his servant from evil: for the Lord hath 
 x returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his own 
 head. And David sent and communed with Abigail, 
 to take her to him to wife. 
 
 40 And when the servants of David were come to 
 to Carmel, they spake unto her, 
 
 Abigail 
 
 saying, 
 
 David sent us unto thee, to take thee to him to wife. 
 
 41 And she arose, and bowed herself on her face 
 to the earth, and said, Behold, let y thine 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 t&fter her ; 
 and she went after the messengers of David, and be- 
 came his wife. 
 
 43 David also took Ahinoam *of Jezreel; "and 
 they were also both of them his wives. 
 
 44 H But Saul had given 4 Michal his daughter, 
 David's wife, to UPhalti the son of Laish, which was 
 of c Gallim. 
 
 CHAP. XXVI. 
 
 Saul cometh to Hachilah against David 
 
 AND the Ziphites came unto Saui to Gibeah, 
 saying, "Doth not David hide himself in the 
 hill of Hachilah, tvhich is before Jeshimon V 
 
 2 Then Saul arose, and went down to the wil- 
 derness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men 
 of Israel with him, to seek David in the wilderness 
 of Ziph. 
 
 3 And Saul pitched in the hill of Hachilah, which 
 is before Jeshimon, by the way. But David aboda 
 in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul came aftel 
 him into the wilderness. 
 
 4 David therefore sent out spies, and understood 
 that Saul was come in very deed. 
 
 5 IfAnd David arose and came to the place where 
 Saul had pitched: and David beheld the place wher* 1 
 
 207 
 
David reprovcth Abncr, &c. 
 
 I. SAMUEL. 
 
 ZiMag given to David 
 
 Saul lay, and * Abner the son of Ner, the captain of 
 his host. And Saul lay in the || trench, and the 
 people pitched round about him. 
 
 6 Then answered David and said to Ahimelech 
 the Hittite, and to Abishai c the son of Zeruiah, 
 brother to Joab, saying, Who will d go down with me 
 to Saul to the camp ? And Abishai said, I will go 
 3own with thee. 
 
 7 So David and Abishai came to the people by 
 night: and behold, Saul lay sleeping within the 
 trench, and his spear stuck in the ground at his bols- 
 ter: but Abner and the people lay round about him. 
 
 8 Then said Abishai to David, God hath f de- 
 livered thine enemy into thine hand this day: now 
 therefore let me smite him, I pray thee, with the 
 epear, even to the earth at once, and I will not smite 
 liim the second time. 
 
 9 And David said to Abishai, Destroy him not: 
 'for who can stretch forth his hand against the Lord's 
 anointed, and be guiltless? 
 
 10 David said furthermore, As the Lord liveth, 
 ^the Lord shall smite him; or ^his day shall come to 
 die; or he shall h descend into battle, and perish. 
 
 11 'The Lord forbid that I should stretch forth 
 mine hand against the Lord'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 gat them away, and 
 no man saw it, nor knew it, neither awaked : for they 
 were all asleep; because fc a deep sleep from the Lord 
 was fallen upon them. 
 
 13 IT Then David went over to the other side, and 
 stood on the top of an hill 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 va- 
 liant man ? and who is like to thee in Israel ? Where- 
 fore 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 the Lord liveth, ye are f worthy to die, because 
 ye have not kept your master the Lord'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 
 foice, my lord, king. 
 
 18 And he said, '"Wherefore doth my lord thus 
 pursue after his servant ? for what have I done ? or 
 what evil is in mine hand ? 
 
 19 Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord the 
 king hear the words of his servant. If the Lord 
 have "stirred thee up against me, let him faccept an 
 offering : but if they be the children of men, cursed 
 be they before the Lord; "for they have driven me 
 out this day from fabiding in the /"inheritance of the 
 Lord, saying, Go, serve other gods. 
 
 20 Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the 
 earth before the face of the Lord: for the king of 
 Israel is come out to seek ? a flea, as when one doth 
 hunt a partridge in the mountains. 
 
 21 If Then said Saul, r I have sinned: return, my 
 von David : for I will no mo^e do thee harm, because

 my soul was 'precious in thine eyes this day: behold, 
 I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly. 
 
 22 And David answered and said, Behold the 
 king's spear! and let one of the young men come 
 over and fetch it. 
 
 23 'The Lord render to every man his righteous- 
 ness and his faithfulness : for the Lord delivered thee 
 into my hand to-day, but I would not stretch forth 
 mine hand against the Lord'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 eyes of the Lord, and let him deliver me out of 
 all tribulation. 
 
 25 Then Saul said to David, Blessed be thou, my 
 son David : thou shalt both do great things, and also 
 shalt still "prevail. So David went on his way, and 
 Saul returned to his place. 
 
 CHAP. XXVII. 
 
 Saul hearing David to be in Gath, seeketh no more for him. 
 
 AND David said in his heart, I shall now fperish 
 one day by the hand of Saul : the?-e 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 coast of Israel : 
 so shall I escape out of his hand. 
 
 2 And David arose, "and he passed over with the 
 six hundred men that ivere with him *unto Achish, 
 the son of Maoch, king of Gath. 
 
 3 And David dwelt with Achish at Gath, he and 
 his men, every man with his household, even David 
 c with his two wives, Ahinoam 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 TTAnd David said unto Achish, If I have now found 
 grace in thine eyes, let them give me a place in some 
 town in the country, 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: where- 
 fore d Ziklag pertaineth unto the kings of ludah unto 
 this day. 
 
 7 And f the time that David dwelt in the country 
 of the Philistines was fa full year and four months. 
 
 8 IT And David and his men went up, and invaded 
 e the Geshurites, -/"and the || Gezrites, and the g Amalek- 
 ites : for those nations were of old the inhabitants of the 
 land , A as thou goest to Shur,even unto 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 appa- 
 rel, and returned, and came to Achish. 
 
 10 And Achish said, || Whither have ye made a 
 road to-day? And David said, Against the south 
 of Judah, and against the south of 'the Jerahmeel- 
 ites, and against the south of * the Kenites. 
 
 11 xAnd David saved neither man nor woman 
 alive, to bring tidings to Gath, saying, Lest they 
 should tell on us, saying, So did David, and so will 
 be his manner all the while he dwelleth in the coun 
 try of the Philistines. 
 
 12 And Achish believed David, saying, He hath 
 made his people Israel futterly to abhor him ; there- 
 fore he shall be my servant for ever. 
 
 CHAP. XXVIII. 
 
 The wilch, encouraged by Saul, raiseth up Samuel. 
 
 AND a it came to pass in those days, that the 
 Philistines gathered their armies together for 
 warfare, to fight with Israel. And Achish said un + xi 
 
 i 
 
Haul scekcth a witch. 
 
 David, Know thou assuredly, that thou shalt go 
 out with me to buttle, thou and thy men. 
 
 l l 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 
 mine head for ever. 
 
 3 11 Now 'Samuel was dead, and all Israel h;id 
 lamented him, and buried him in Ramah, even in his 
 own city. And Saul had put away c those that had 
 familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land. 
 
 4 And the Philistines gathered themselves together, 
 and came and pitched in ''Shunem: and Saul gather- 
 ed 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 Saul inquired of the Lord, *the 
 Lord answered him not, neither by * dreams, nor 
 'by Urim, nor by prophets. 
 
 7 IF Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a wo- 
 man 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 woman 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 unto me by the familiar spirit, and 
 bring me him up, whom I shall name unto thee. 
 
 9 And the woman said unto 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 sware to her by the Lord, saying, 
 As the Lord liveth, there shall no punishment hap- 
 pen to thee for this thing. 
 
 11 Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up 
 unto thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel. 
 
 12 And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried 
 with a loud voice : and the woman spake to Saul, 
 Baying, Why hast thou deceived me ? for thou art Saul. 
 
 13 And the king said unto her, Be not afraid : for 
 what sawest thou? And the woman said unto Saul, 
 L saw m gods ascending out of the earth. 
 
 11 And he said unto her, fWhat form is. he of? 
 and she said, An old man cometh up; and he is 
 eovsred with "a mantle. And Saul perceived that 
 it ?vas Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the 
 ground, and bowed himself. 
 
 15 IT And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou 
 disquieted me, to bring me up? And Saul answered, 
 M am sore distressed; for the Philistines make war 
 against me, and ''God is departed from me, and r an- 
 swereth me no more, neither f by prophets, nor by 
 dreams : therefore I have called thee, that thou 
 may est make known unto me what I shall do. 
 
 ttf Then said Samuel, Wherefore then dost thou 
 ask of me, seeing the Lord is departed from thee, 
 and is become thine enemy? 
 
 17 And the Lord hath done II to him, 'as he spake 
 by f me : for the Lord hath rent the kingdom out of 
 thi ne hand,and given it to thy neighbour, even to Da vid : 
 
 1 8 "Because thou obeyedst not the voice of the Lord, 
 nor executedst his fierce wrath upon Amalek, there- 
 fore hath the Lord done this thing unto thee this day. 
 
 19 Moreover, the Lord will also deliver Israel with 
 thee into the hand of the Philistines : and to-morrow 
 shall thou and thy sons be with me : the Lord also shall 
 leliver thebost of Israel into the hand of the Philistines.

 20 Then Saul f fell straightway all along on the 
 earth, and was sore afraid, 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 11 And the woman came unto Saul, and .saw 
 that he was sore troubled, and said unto him, Be- 
 hold, thine handmaid hath obeyed thy voice, and 1 
 have x put my life in mine hand, and have hearkened 
 unto thy words which thou spakest unto me. 
 
 22 Now therefore, I pray thee, hearken thou also 
 unto the voice of thine handmaid, and let me set a 
 morsel of bread before thee ; and eat, that thou 
 mayest have strength when thou goest on thy way. 
 
 23 But he refused, and said, I will not eat. But 
 his servants, together with the woman, compelled 
 him; and he hearkened unto their voice. So he 
 arose from the earth, and sat upon the bed. 
 
 24 And the woman had a fat 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 before 
 his servants; and they did eat. Then they arose 
 up, and went away that night.

 Achish dismisseth David with commendations of his fidelity. 
 
 NOW "the Philistines gathered together all theii 
 armies Ho 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 c with Achish. 
 
 3 Then said the princes of the Philistines, What 
 do these Hebrews here? And Achish said unto the 
 princes of the Philistines, Is not this David, the ser- 
 vant of Saul the king of Israel, which hath been with 
 me ''these days, or these years, and I have 'found no 
 fault in him since he fell unto me unto this day ? 
 
 4 And the princes of the Philistines were wroth 
 with him; and the princes of the Philistines said 
 unto him, -/"Make this fellow 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 reconcile himself unto his master? should 
 it not be with the heads of these men? 
 
 5 Is not this David, of whom they sane; one \<t 
 another in dances, saying, ''Saul slew his thou- 
 sands, and David his ten thousands? 
 
 G IT Then Achish called David, and said unto him, 
 Surely, as the Lord liveth, thou hast been upright, 
 and 'thy going out and thy coming in with me in the 
 host is good in my sight: for *I have not found evil 
 in thee since the day of thy coming unto me unto 
 this day: nevertheless f the lords favour thee not. 
 
 7 Wherefore now return, and go in peace, that 
 thou f displease not the lords of the Philistines. 
 
 8 IT And David said unto Achish, But what have 
 I done? and what hast thou found in thy servant, so 
 long as I have been fwith thee unto this day,that I may 
 not go fight against the enemies of my lord the king ? 
 
 9 And Achish answered and said to David, 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 us to 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.

The Amalekites spoil Ziklag. 
 
 11 So David and his men rose up early to depart 
 in the morning, to return into the land of the Philis- 
 tines. "And the Philistines went up to Jezreel. 
 CHAP. XXX. 
 
 1 The Amalekites spoil Ziklug. 7 David pursuetti them. 
 
 AND it came to pass, when David and his men 
 were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the 
 ■Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, 
 and smitten Ziklag, and burned it with five; 
 
 2 And had taken the women captives that were 
 therein; they slew not any, either great or small, 
 but carried them away, and went on their way. 
 
 3 IT 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 weep. 
 
 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 spake of stoning him, because the soul of all 
 the people was f grieved, every man for his sons, 
 and for his daughters : ''but David encouraged him- 
 self in the Lord his God. 
 
 7 'And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahime- 
 lech's son, I pray thee bring me hither the ephod. 
 And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David. 
 
 8 ^And David inquired at the Lord, saying, Shall 
 I pursue after this troop? shall 1 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 behind stayed. 
 
 10 But David pursued, he and four hundred men : 
 for two hundred abode behind, which 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 clusters of raisins: and Svhen he had eaten, 
 his spirit came again to him : for he had eaten no 
 bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three 
 nights. 
 
 13 And David said unto him, To whom belong est 
 thou? and whence art thou? And he said, I am a 
 young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and 
 my master left me, because three days agone I fell 
 sick. 
 
 14 We made an invasion upon the south of Hhe 
 Cherethites, and upon the coast which belongeth to 
 Judah, and upon the south of k Caleb ; and we burned 
 Ziklag with fire. 
 
 15 And David salJ. to him, Canst thou brim- me 
 down tc this company? And he said, Swear unto 
 me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor de- 
 liver me into the hands of my master, and I will 
 bring thee down to this company. 
 
 16 If And when he had brought him down, be- 
 hold, they were spread abroad upon all the earth, 
 'eating and drinking, and dancing, because of all 
 the great spoil that they had taken out of the land 
 of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah. 
 
 17 And David smote them from the twilight 
 even unto the evening of fthe next day: and there

 The .spoil recovered 
 
 escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young 
 men, which 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, nei- 
 ther small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, 
 neither spoil, nor any thing that they had taken to 
 them: m David recovered all. 
 
 20 And David took all the flocks and the herds, 
 which they drave before those other cattle, and said, 
 This is David's spoil. 
 
 21 If And David came to the "two hundred men, 
 which were so faint that they could not follow David, 
 whom they had made also to abide at the brook Be- 
 sor : and they went forth to meet David, and to meet 
 the people that were with him: and when David 
 came near to the people, he || saluted them. 
 
 22 Then answered all the wicked men, and men 
 of Belial, of f those that went with David, and said, 
 Because they went not with us, Ave will not give 
 them aught of the spoil that we have recovered, 
 save to every man his wife and his children, that 
 they may lead them away, and depart. 
 
 23 Then said David, Ye shall not do so, my bre- 
 thren, with that which the Lord hath given us, who 
 hath preserved us, and delivered the company that 
 came against us into our hand. 
 
 24 For who will hearken unto you in this mat> 
 ter? but ^as his part is that goeth down to the bat- 
 tle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff: 
 they shall part alike. 
 
 25 And it was so from that day f forward, that 
 he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel 
 unto this day. 
 
 26 If Arid when David came to Ziklag, he sent 
 of the spoil unto the elders of Judah, even to his 
 friends, saying, Behold a f present for you,, of the 
 spoil of the enemies of the Lord; 
 
 27 To them which were in Beth-el, and to them 
 which were in q south Ramoth, and to fJiem which 
 were in r Jattir, 
 
 28 And to them which tuere in 'Aroer, and to 
 them which were in Siphmoth, and to them which 
 were in ' Eshtemoa, 
 
 29 And to them which were in Rachal, and to them 
 which were in the cities of "the Jerahmeelites, and 
 to them which were in the cities of the ^Kenites, 
 
 30 And to them which were in ^Hormah, and to 
 them which were in Chor-ashan, and to them which 
 were in Athach, 
 
 31 And to them which ivere in x Hebron, and to 
 all the places where David himself and his men 
 were wont to haunt. 
 
 CHAP. XXXI. 
 
 NOW "the Philistines fought against Israel: and 
 the men of Israel fled from before the Philis- 
 tines, and fell down || slain in mount *Gilboa. 
 
 2 And the Philistines followed hard upon Saul 
 and upon his sons; and the Philistines slew 'Jona- 
 than, and Abinadab, and Melchishua, Saul's sons. 
 
 3 And ''the battle went sore against Saul, and the 
 f archers f hit him; and he was sore wounded of 
 the archers. 
 
 4 'Then said Saul unto his armour-bearer, Draw 
 thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest 
 ■/'these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, 
 and II abuse me. But his armour-bearer would not: 
 
iSaul and his sons slain. 
 
 'for he was sore afraid. Therefore Saul toot a 
 sword, and A fell upon it. 
 
 5 And when his armour-bearer saw thnt Saul 
 was dead, he fell likewise upon his sword, and ditd 
 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 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 in mount Gilboa.

 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 David 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 
 '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 did obeisance. 
 
 3 And David said unto him, From whence comest 
 thou? And he said unto him, Out of the camp of 
 Israel am I escaped. 
 
 4 And David said unto him, fHow went the 
 matter? I pray thee, tell me. And he answered, 
 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 unto the youn" man that told 
 him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan 
 his son be dead ? 
 
 6 And the young man that told him said, As I 
 happened by chance upon d 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 unto me. And I answered, fHere am I. 
 
 8 And he said unto me, Who art thou? And I 
 answered him, I am an Amalekite. 
 
 9 He said unto me again, Stand, I pray thee, 
 upon me, and slay me : for || anguish is come upon 
 me, because my life is yet whole in me. 
 
 10 So I stood upon him, and -'slew him, because 
 I was sure that he could not live after that he was 
 fallen: and I took the crown that tons upon his 
 head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and 
 have brought them hither unto my lord. 
 
 11 Then David took hold on his clothes, and 
 ♦lent them; and likewise all the men that were 
 with him. 
 
 12 And they mourned and wept, and fasted until 
 ever., for Saul and for Jonathan his son, and for the 
 people of the Lord, and for the house of Israel; 
 because they were fallen by the sword.

 am the son of a stranger, an Amalekite. 
 
 14 And David said unto him, A How wast thou

 the Lord's anointed?

 over Saul, and over Jonathan his son : 
 
 18 ("Also he bade them teach the children of 
 Judah the use of the bow : behold, it is written » in 
 the book || of Jasher.) 
 
 19 The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high 
 places: *how are the mighty fallen! 
 
 20 r Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of 
 Askelon ; lest 'the daughters of 'the Philistines rejoice, 
 lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph. 
 
 21 Ye "mountains of Gilboa, '■'let Viere be no dew, 
 neither let there be rain upon you, nor fields of offer- 
 ings : for there the shield of the mighty is vilely 
 cast away, the shield of Saul, as though he had not 
 been "anointed with oil. 
 
 22 From the blood of the slain, from the fat of 
 the mighty, x the bow of Jonathan turned not back, 
 and the sword of Saul returned not empty. 
 
 23 Saul and Jonathan were lovely and || pleasant in 
 their lives,and in their death they werenotdivided: they 
 were swifter than eagles,they were "stronger than lions. 
 
 24 Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul who 
 clothed you in scarlet, with other delights; who 
 put on ornaments of gold upon your apparel. 
 
 25 How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the 
 battle ! O Jonathan, thou wast slain in thine high places. 
 
 26 I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan : 
 very pleasant hast thou been unto me : 4 thy love to 
 me was wonderful, passing the love of women. 
 
 11 r How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons 
 of war perished ! 
 
 CHAP. II. 
 
 David goeth to Hebron, where he is made king of Judah. 
 
 AND it came to pass after this, that David "inquir- 
 ed of the Lord, saying, Shall I go up into am 
 
 211 
 
David anointed king at Hebron. 
 
 11. SAMUEL. 
 
 Joab pursucth Abner 
 
 also the house of Judah have anointed me king 
 
 of the cities of Judah? And the Lord said unto 
 him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go 
 »n? And he said, Unto 'Hebron. 
 
 I So David went up thither, and his r two wives 
 also, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail Nabal's 
 wife the Carmelite. 
 
 3 And rf his men that were with him did David 
 bring up, every man with his household: and they 
 dwelt in the cities of Hebron. 
 
 4 e And the men of Judah came, and there they 
 anointed David king over the house of Judah. And 
 they told David, saying, That J the men of Jabesh- 
 jnlead were they that buried Saul. 
 
 5 If And David sent messengers unto the men of 
 Jabesh-gilead, and said unto them, B Blessed be ye 
 of the Lord, that ye have shewed this kindness unto 
 your lord, even unto Saul, and have buried him. 
 
 C And now Hhe Lord shew kindness and truth 
 unto you: and I also will requite you this kind- 
 ness, because ye have done this thing. 
 
 7 Therefore now let your hands be strengthened, 
 and fbe ye valiant: for your master Saul is dead, 
 and 
 over them. 
 
 8 If But 'Abner the son of Ner, captain of f Saul's 
 host, took || Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, and brought 
 him over to Mahanaim; 
 
 9 And he 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. 
 
 II And *the ftime that David was king in Heb- 
 ron, over the house of Judah, was seven years and 
 six months. 
 
 12 If And Abner the son of Ner, and the servants 
 of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, went out from Ma- 
 hanaim to ' Gibeon. 
 
 13 And Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants 
 of David went out, and met f together by m the pool of 
 Gibeon: and they sat down, the one on the one side 
 of the pool and fche 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, which pertained to Ish-bosheth 
 the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David. 
 
 16 And they caught every 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 sore battle that day; 
 and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, be- 
 fore the servants of David. 
 
 18 IF And there were "three sons of Zeruiah there, 
 Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel: and Asahel was "as 
 tight fof foot t ; 'as a wild roe. 
 
 19 And Asahel pursued after Abner; and in 
 going he turned not to the right hand nor to the 
 left ffrom 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 thee his || armour. But 
 Asubel would not turn aside from following of him.

 22 And Abner said again to Asahel, Turn thee 
 aside from following me : wherefore should I smite 
 thee to the ground how then should I hold up 
 my face to Joab thy brother? 
 
 23 Howbeit he refused to turn aside : wherefore 
 Abner with the hinder end of the spear smote him 
 'under the fifth rib, that 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 Amman, that lieth before Giah, by the 
 way of the wilderness of Gibeon. 
 
 25 HAnd the children of Benjamin gathered 
 themselves together after Abner, and became one 
 troop, and stood on the top of an 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 liveta, unless r thou 
 hadst spoken, surely then f in the morning the people 
 had || 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 smitten of 
 Benjamin, and of Abner's men, so that three hundred 
 and threescore men died. 
 
 32 If 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 Hebron at break of day. 
 
 CHAP. III. 
 
 During the war David still uaxeth stronger. 
 
 NOW there was long war between the house of 
 Saul and the house of David : but David waxed 
 stronger and stronger, and the house of Saul waxed 
 weaker and weaker. 
 
 2 If And "unto David were sons born in Hebron: 
 and his first-born was Amnon, 6 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 c Geshur ; 
 
 4 And the fourth, "Adonijah the son of Haggith; 
 and the fifth, Shephatiah the son of Abitai; 
 
 5 And the sixth, lthream, by Eglah, David's 
 wife. These were born to David in II ebron. 
 
 6 If And it came to pass, while there was war be- 
 tween 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 
 c Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah: said Ish-bosheth said 
 to Abner, Wherefore hast thou -/'gone in unto my 
 father's concubine? 
 
 8 Then was Abner very wroth for the words of 
 Ish-bosheth, and said, Am I s n dog's head, which 
 against Judah do shew kindness this day unto the 
 house of Saul thy father, to his brethren, and to his 
 
Abner revoltcth to David. 
 
 friends, and have not delivered thee into the hand 
 of David, that thou chargest me to-day with a fault 
 concerning this woman? 
 
 9 A So do God to Abner, and more also, except, 'as 
 the Lord hath sworn to David, even so I do to him ; 
 
 10 To translate 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 HAnd Abner sent messengers to David 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 unto thee. 
 
 13 HAnd he said, Well; I will make a league 
 with thee: but one thing I require of thee, -f that 
 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, 
 which I espoused to me, "for an 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 f along weep- 
 ing behind her to ^Bahurim. Then said" Abner 
 unto him, Go, return. And he returned. 
 
 17 If And Abner had communication with the 
 elders of Israel, saying, Ye sought for David fin 
 times past to be king over you : 
 
 18 Wow then do it: 'for the Lord 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 spake in the ears of ''Benja- 
 min : 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, and 
 twenty men with him : and David made Abner, and 
 the men that were with him, a feast. 
 
 21 And Abner said unto David, I will arise and 
 go, and ' will gather all Israel unto my lord the king, 
 that they may make a league with thee, and that thou 
 mayest 'reign over all that thine heart desire th. And 
 David sent Abner away ; and he went in peace. 
 
 22 IT And behold, the servants of David and Joab 
 came horn 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, saying, 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 unto 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, which brought him 
 again from the well of Sirah : but David knew it not. 
 
 27 And when Abner was returned to Hebron, 
 Joab "took him aside in the gate to speak with him

 || quietly, and smote him there 'under the fifth rib 
 that he died, for the blood of "Agahel his brother. 
 
 28 HAnd afterward when David heard tt 9 he said, 
 Z I and my kingdom are guiltless before the Loud 
 for ever from the f blood 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 flail from the 
 house of Joab one *that hath an issue, or that is a 
 leper, or that leaneth on a statF, 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 c Asahel at Gibeon 
 in the battle. 
 
 31 HAnd David said to Joab, and to all the 
 people that were with him, ''Rend your clothes, and 
 'gird you with sackcloth, and mourn before Abner. 
 And king David himself followed the f bier. 
 
 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 J fool dieth ? 
 
 34 Thy hands were not bound, nor thy feet put into 
 fetters : as a man falleth before f wicked men, so fell- 
 est thou. And all the people wept again over him. 
 
 35 And when all the people came g to cause David 
 to eat meat while it was yet day, David swaie, 
 saying, ''So do God to me, and more also, if I taste 
 bread or aught else, 'till the sun be down. 
 
 36 And all the people took notice of it, and it 
 f pleased them : as whatsoever the king did pleased 
 all the people. 
 
 37 For all the people and all Israel understood 
 that day that it was not of the king to slay Abner 
 the son of Ner. 
 
 38 And the king said unto his servants, Know ye 
 not that there is a prince and a great man fallen 
 this day in Israel? 
 
 39 And I am this day tweak, though anointed 
 king; and these men the sons of Zeruiah k be too 
 hard for me. 'The Lord shall reward the doer of 
 evil according to his wickedness.

 Baanah and Rcchab slay Ish-bosheth. 
 
 AND Avhen Saul's son heard that Abner was 
 dead in Hebron, a his hands were feeble, and 
 all the Israelites were 4 troubled. 
 
 2 And Saul's son had two men that were captains 
 of bands: the name of the one was Baanah, and the 
 name of the f other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon a 
 Beerothite, of the children of Benjamin : (for 'Bee- 
 roth also was reckoned to Benjamin : 
 
 3 And the Beerothites fled to ''Gittaim, and were 
 sojourners there until this day.) 
 
 4 And 'Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son that was 
 lame of his 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 be- 
 came lame: and his name was || Mephibosheth. 
 
 5 And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Re- 
 chab and Baanah, went, and came about the heat 
 of the day to the house of Ish-bosheth, who lay on 
 a bed at noon. 
 
 6 And they came thither into the midst of the 
 house, as though they would have fetched wheat; 
 and they smote him B under the fifth rib: and Re-

 7 For when they came into the house, he lay 'M

 slew him, and beheaded him, and took his head, 
 and gat them away through the plain all night. 
 
 8 And they brought the head of Ish-bosheth unto 
 David to Hebron, and said to the king, Behold the 
 head of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul thine enemy, 
 "which sought thy life; and the Lord hath avenged 
 my lord the king this day of Saul and of his seed. 
 
 9 UAnd David answered Rechab and Baanah 
 his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, 
 and said unto them, As the Lord liveth, 'who hath 
 redeemed my soul out of all adversity, 
 
 10 When *one told me, saying, Behold, Saul is 
 dead, (f thinking 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 
 a righteous person in his own house upon his bed ? 
 shall I not therefore now 'require his blood of your 
 hand, and take you away from the earth ? 
 
 12 And David m 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.

 The tribes come to Hebron to anoint Drtvid oxer Israel. 
 
 THEN a came all the tribes of Israel to David 
 unto Hebron, and spake, saying, Behold, 'we 
 are thy bone and thy flesh. 
 
 2 Also in time past, when Saul was 
 us, c thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest 
 in Israel: and the Lord said to thee, ''Thou shalt 
 feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be a captain 
 over Israel. 
 
 3 'So all the elders of Israel came to the king to 
 Hebron; -/"and king David made a league with them 
 in Hebron s before the Lord: and they anointed 
 David king over Israel. 
 
 4 If David was thirty years old when he began 
 to reign, h 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 UAnd the king and his men went *to Jerusalem 
 unto 'the Jebusites the inhabitants of the land: 
 Avhich spake unto David, saying, Except thou take 
 away the blind and the lame, thou shalt not come 
 in hither: || thinking, David cannot come in hither. 
 
 7 Nevertheless, David took the strong hold of 
 Zion : m the same is the city of David. 
 
 8 And David said on that day, Whosoever getteth 
 up to the gutter, and smiteth the Jebusites, and the 
 lame and the blind, that are hated of David's soul, " 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 fort, and called it, ■ The 
 city of David. And David built round about from 
 Miilo and inward. 
 
 10 And David fwent on, and grew great, and 
 the Lord God of hosts was with him. 
 
 11 IT And t> Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers 
 to David, and cedar-trees, and carpenters, and t ma- 
 sons : and they built David an house. 
 
 12 And David perceived that the Lord had es- 
 tablished him king over Israel, and that he had 
 exalte' 1 his kingdom for his people Israel's sake.

 13 UAnd 'David took him more concubines and 
 wives out of Jerusalem, after he was come from 
 Hebron : and there were yet sons and daughter* 
 born to David. 
 
 14 And r these be the names of those that were 
 born unto him in Jerusalem ; || Shammuah, and 
 Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon, 
 
 15 Ibhar also, and || Elishua, and Nepheg, and 
 Japhia, 
 
 16 And Elishama, and || Eliada, and Eliphalet. 
 
 17 U'But when the Philistines heard that they 
 had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philis- 
 tines came up to seek David; and David heard 
 of it, 'and went down to the hold. 
 
 18 The Philistines also came and spread them- 
 selves in "the valley of Rephaim. 
 
 19 And David * inquired of the Lord, saying, 
 Shall I go up to the Philistines? Avilt thou deliver 
 them into mine hand? And the Lord said unto 
 David, Go up: for I will doubtless deliver the 
 Philistines into thine hand. 
 
 20 And David came to y Baal-perazim, and David 
 smote them there, and said, The Lord hath broken 
 forth upon mine enemies before me, as the breach 
 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 || burned them. 
 
 22 If "And the Philistines came up yet again, and 
 spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim. 
 
 23 And when 'David inquired of the Lord, 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 c hearest the sound of 
 a going in the tops of the mulberry-trees, that then 
 thou shalt bestir thyself: for then d shall the Lord go 
 out before thee, to smite the host of the Philistines. 
 
 25 And David did so as the Lord had commanded 
 him; and smote the Philistines from r Geba until 
 thou come to •''Gazer. 
 
 CHAP. VI. 
 
 David feteheth the ark from Kirjath-jcarim on a new carl. 
 
 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 ark of God, || whose name is 
 called by the name of The Lord of hosts Hhat 
 dwelleth between the cherubims. 
 
 3 And they fset the ark of God c upon a new 
 cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab 
 that was in it Gibeah : and Uzzah and Ahio the 
 sons of Abinadab drave the new cart. 
 
 4 And they brought it out of ''the house of Abi- 
 nadab, which was at Gibeah, t accompanying the 
 ark of God : and Ahio went before the ark. 
 
 5 And David and all the house of Israel played 
 before the Lord on all maimer of instruments made 
 of fir-wood, even on harps, and on psalteries, and 
 on timbrels, and on cornets, and on cymbals. 
 
 6 IT And when they came to 'Nachon's thresh 
 ing-floor, Uzzah /put forth his hand to the ark of 
 God, and took hold of it : for the oxen || shook it. 
 
 7 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against 
 Uzzah, and *God smote him there for his || error; 
 and there he died by the ark of God. 
 
 8 And David was displeased, because the Lord 
 
David bringeth the ark into Zion. 
 
 had f made a breach upon Uzzah : and he called the 
 name of the place || Perez-uzzah to this day. 
 
 9 And h David was afraid of the Lord that day, 
 and said, How shall the ark of the Lord come to 
 me? 
 
 10 So David would not remove the ark of the Lord 
 unto him into the city of David : but David carried 
 it aside into the house of Obed-edom 'the Gittite. 
 
 11 *And the ark of the Lord continued in the 
 house of Obed-edom the Gittite three months : and 
 the Lord 'blessed Obed-edom and all his household. 
 
 12 If And it was told king David, saying, The 
 Lord hath blessed the house of Obed-edom, ami all 
 that pertaineth unto him, because 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 David 
 with gladness. 
 
 13 And it was so, that when "they that bare the 
 ark of the Lord had gone six paces, he sacrificed 
 •oxen and fatlings. 
 
 14 And David '' danced before the Lord with all his 
 might; and David was girded 'with a linen ephod. 
 
 15 r So David and all the house of Israel brought 
 ap the ark of the Lord with shouting, and with the 
 sound of the trumpet. 
 
 16 And 'as the ark of the Lord came into the city 
 of David, Michal, Saul's daughter, looked through 
 a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing 
 before the Lord ; and she despised him in her heart. 
 
 17 H' And they brought in the ark of the Lord, and 
 set it in "his place, in the midst of the tabernacle that 
 David had f pitched for it : and David x offered burnt- 
 offerings and peace-offerings before the Lord. 
 
 18 And as soon as David had made an end of of- 
 fering burnt-offerings and peace-offerings, y he blessed 
 the people in the name of the Lord of hosts. 
 
 19 * And he dealt among all the people, even among 
 the whole multitude of Israel, as well to the women 
 as men, to every one a cake of bread, and a good 
 piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine. So all the peo- 
 ple departed every one to his house. 
 
 20 11° 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 Is- 
 rael to-day, who ''uncovered himself to-day in the eyes 
 of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the c vain 
 fellows || shamelessly uncovereth himself! 
 
 21 And David said unto Michal, It was before 
 the Lord, ''which chose me before thy father, and 
 before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the 
 people of the Lord, over Israel: therefore will I 
 play before the Lord. 
 
 22 And I will yet be more vile than thus, and 
 will be base in mine own sight: and || of the maid- 
 servants which thou hast spoken of, of them shall 
 £ be had in honour. 
 
 23 Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had 
 ao chil^ 'unto the day of her death.

 AND it came to pass, ° when the king sat in his 
 house, and the Lord had given him rest round 
 about from all his enemies, 
 
 2 That the king said unto Nathan the prophet, 
 See now, I dwell in 4 an house of cedar, "but the 
 ark of God dwelleth within ''curtains 
 
 3 And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that 
 « 'in thine heart: for the Lord is with thee.

 Blessings promised to Duvid 
 
 4 HAnd it came to pass that night, that the 
 word of the Lord came unto Nathan, saying, 
 
 5 Go and tell fmy servant David, 'finis saith the 
 LoRD/Shalt thou build mean house for me to dwell in? 
 
 6 Whereas I have not dwelt in an// house ' since 
 the time that I brought up the children 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 'walked with 
 all the children of Israel spake I a word with || any 
 of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded *to feed 
 my people Israel, saying, Why build ye not me an 
 house of cedar? 
 
 8 Now therefore, so shalt thou say unto my ser- 
 vant David, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, 'I took 
 thee from the sheep-cote, ffrom following the sheep, 
 to be ruler over my people, over Israel : 
 
 9 And m I was with thee whithersoever thou went- 
 est, "and have cut off all thine enemies tout of thy 
 sight, and have made thee "a great name, like unto 
 the name of the great men that are in the earth. 
 
 10 Moreover, I will appoint a place for my people 
 Israel, and will '' plant them, that they may dwell 
 in a place of their own, and move no more; 'neither 
 shall the children of wickedness afflict them any 
 more as beforetime. 
 
 11 And as r since the time that I commanded 
 judges to be over my people Israel, and have 'caused 
 thee to rest from all thine enemies. Also the Lord 
 telleth thee 'that he will make thee an house. 
 
 12 IT And "when thy days be fulfilled, and thou 
 * shalt sleep with thy fathers, y l will set up thy 
 seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy 
 bowels, and I will establish his kingdom. 
 
 13 *He shall build an house for my name, and I 
 will "stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever. 
 
 14 4 I will be his father, and he shall be my son 
 e If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the 
 rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of 
 men: 
 
 15 But my mercy shall not depart away from 
 him, rf as I took it from Saul, whom I put away 
 before thee. 
 
 16 And e thine house and thy kingdom shall be 
 established for ever before thee : thy throne shall 
 be established for ever. 
 
 17 According to all these words, and according (o 
 all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David. 
 
 18 IT Then went king David in, and sat before the 
 Lord, and he said, -/"Who am I, O Lord God? and what 
 is nv 
 
 1( 
 
 Lord God; ^but thou hast spoken also of thy se>- 
 vant's house for a great while to come. A And is 
 this the t manner of man, O Lord God? 
 
 20 And what can David say more unto thee? 
 for thou, Lord God, 'knowest thy servant. 
 
 21 For thy word's sake, and according to thine 
 own heart, hast thou done all these great things, to 
 make thy servant know them. 
 
 22 Wherefore fc thou art great, O Lord God: for 
 
 1 there is none like thee, neither is there any God 
 beside thee, according to all that we have heard 
 with our 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.

 LL SAMUEL 
 
 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 unto thee for ever: ^and thou, 
 Lord, art become their God. 
 
 25 And now, Lord God, the word that thou hast 
 spoken concerning thy secant, and concerning his 
 house, establish it for ever, and do as thou hast said. 
 
 26 And let thy name be magnified for ever, 
 saying, The Lord of hosts is the God over Israel: 
 and let the house of thy servant David be esta- 
 blished before thee. 
 
 27 For thou, Lord of hosts, God of Israel, 
 hast f revealed to thy servant, saying, I will build 
 thee ah house: therefore hath thy servant found 
 in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee. 
 
 28 And now, Lord God, thou art that God, 
 and q thy words be true, and thou hast promised 
 this goodness unto thy servant: 
 
 29 Therefore now flet it please theu to bless the 
 house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever 
 before thee: for thou, Lord God, hast spoken it: 
 and with thy blessing let the house of thy servant 
 be blessed 'for ever.

 David subdnelh the Philistines and the Moabites. 
 
 AND "after this it came to pass, that David 
 smote the Philistines, and subdued them : and 
 David took || Metheg-ammah out of the hand of the 
 Philistines. 
 
 2 And 6 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 II David smote also || Hadadezer, the son of 
 Rehob, king of e Zobah, as he went to recover -/'his 
 border at the river Euphrates. 
 
 4 And David took || from him a thousand || chariots, 
 and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand 
 footmen: and David s houghed all the chariot-/Wses, 
 but reserved of them for an hundred chariots. 
 
 5 A And when the Syrians of Damascus came to 
 succour Hadadezer king of Zobah, David slew of 
 the Syrians two and twenty thousand men. 
 
 6 Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damas- 
 cus: and the Syrians 'became servants to David, 
 and brought gifts. ''And the Lord preserved David 
 whithersoever he went. 
 
 7 And David took 'the shields of gold that were 
 on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to 
 Jerusalem. 
 
 8 And from || Betah, and from || Berothai, cities of 
 Hadadezer, king David took exceeding much brass.

 vid had smitten all the host of Hadadezer,

 sels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass : 
 
 11 Which also king David "did dedicate unto 
 the Lord, with the silver and gold that he had 
 dedicated of all nations which he subdued;

 David entertaineth Mephibosheth 
 
 And David gat him a name when he returned 
 from f smiting of the Syrians in "the valley of salt, 
 A || being eighteen thousand men. 
 
 14 HAnd he put garrisons in Edom; throughout 
 all Edom put he garrisons, and ? all they of Ednni 
 became David's servants. r And the Lord preserved 
 David whithersoever he went. 
 
 15 And David reigned over all Israel: and David 
 executed judgment and justice unto 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 Ahime- 
 lech the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and 
 Seraiah was the || scribe ;

 both the y Cherethites and the Pelethites; and Da- 
 vid's sons were || chief rulers.

 David by Ziba sendethfor Mephibosheth. 
 
 AND David said, Is there yet any 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 4 Ziba. And when they had called 
 him unto David, the king said unto him, Art thou 
 Ziba? And he said, Thy servant is he. 
 
 3 And the king said, Is there not yet any of the 
 house of Saul, that I may shew c the kindness of 
 God unto him ? And Ziba said unto the king, Jona- 
 than hath yet a son, which is rf lame on his feet. 
 
 4 And the king said unto him, Where is he ? And 
 Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he is in the house 
 of 'Machir, the son of Ammiel, in Lo-debar. 
 
 5 II Then king David sent, and fetched 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 unto David, he fell on his 
 face, and did reverence. And David said, Mephibo- 
 sheth. And he answered, Behold thy servant! 
 
 7 HAnd David said unto him, Fear not: •'for I 
 will surely shew thee kindness for Jonathan thy 
 father's sake, and will restore thee all the land of 
 Saul thy father; and thou shalt eat bread at my 
 table continually. 
 
 8 And he bowed himself, and said, What is thy 
 servant, that thou shouldest look upon such *a dead 
 dog as I am? 
 
 9 IT Then the king called to Ziba, Saul's servant, 
 and said unto him, *1 have given unto thy master's 
 son all that pertained to Saul, and to all his house. 
 
 10 Thou therefore, and thy sons, and thy ser- 
 vants, shall till the land for him, and thou shalt 
 bring in the fruits that thy master's son may have 
 food to eat: but Mephibosheth thy master's son 
 'shall eat bread alway at my table. Now Ziba had 
 ^fifteen sons and twenty servants. 
 
 11 Then said Ziba unto the kni<r, According to 
 
 king, According 
 commanded his ser- 
 
 As for Mephibo- 
 eat at my table, su 
 
 all that my lord the king hath 
 vant, so shall thy servant do. 
 sheth, said the king, he shall 
 one of the king's sons. 
 
 12 And Mephibosheth had a young son, 'whose 
 name was Micha. And all that dwelt in the house 
 of Ziba were servants unto Mephibosheth. 
 
 13 So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem: "for 
 he did eat continually at the king's table; and 
 /'was lame on both his feet.

 David's messengers are sent to comfort Ilanun the son of Nahash. 
 
 AND it came to pass after this, that the "king of 
 the children of Amnion died, and Hanun his 
 eon reigned in his stead. 
 
 2 Then said David, I will shew kindness unto 
 JIanun the son of Nahash, as his father shewed kind- 
 ness unto 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 And the princes of the children of Ammon said 
 unto Ilanun their lord, f Thinkest thou that David 
 doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters 
 unto thee ? hath not David rather sent his servants 
 unto thee, to search the city, and to spy it out, and 
 to overthrow it? 
 
 4 Wherefore Hanun took David's servants, and 
 shaved off the one half of their beards, and cut off 
 their garments in the middle, b even to their buttocks, 
 and sent them away. 
 
 5 When they told it unto 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 HAnd when the children of Ammon saw that 
 they r stank before David, the children of Ammon 
 sent and hired rf the Syrians of Beth-rehob, and the 
 Syrians of Zobah, twenty thousand footmen, and 
 of king Maacah 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 e 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 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 delivered into 
 the hanJ 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 *Be of good courage, and let us A play the men 
 for our people, and for the cities of our God : and 
 'the Lord do that which seemeth him good. 
 
 J 3 And Joab drew nigh, and the people that 
 were with him, unto the battle against the Syrians : 
 and they fled before him. 
 
 14 And when the children of Ammon saw that the 
 Syrians were fled, then fled they also before Abishai, 
 and entered into the city. So Joab returned from 
 the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem. 
 
 10 II And when the Syrians saw that they were 
 Bmiiien 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 I! Shobach the captain of the 
 host of Hadarezer went before them. 
 
 17 And when it was told David, he gathered all 
 
 Israel together, and passed over Jordan, and came 
 
 Lo Helam. And the Syrians set themselves in 
 
 array against David, and fought with him.

 18 And the Syrians fled before Israel; and David 
 slew the men of seven hundred chariots of the .Sy- 
 rians, and forty thousand * horsemen, and smote 
 Shobach the captain of their host, who died there. 
 
 10 And when all the kings that were servants to 
 Hadarezer saw that they were smitten before Israel, 
 they made peace with Israel, and 'served them'. 
 So the Syrians feared to help the children of Am*

 CHAP. XI. 
 
 While Joab besiegelh liabbah, David commilteth adultery with Dalh-shebn 
 
 AND it came to pass, f after the year was ex* 
 pired, 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 Kabbah. But David tarried 
 still at Jerusalem. 
 
 2 II And it came to pass in an evening-tide, that 
 David arose from off his bed, 4 and walked upon the 
 roof of the king's house: and from the roof he c sa\v 
 a woman washing herself; and the woman was very 
 beautiful 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 "of Uriah the Hittite? 
 
 4 And David sent messengers and took her : and 
 she came in unto him, and c he lay with her; (||fbr 
 she was •''purified from her uncleanness:) and she 
 returned unto her house. 
 
 5 And the woman conceived, and sent and told 
 David, and said, I am with child. 
 
 6 HAnd David sent to Joab, saying, Send me 
 Uriah the Hittite. And Joab sent Uriah to David. 
 
 7 And when Uriah was come unto him, David 
 demanded of him fhow Joab did, and how the 
 people did, 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 f followed him a 
 mess of meat from the king. 
 
 9 But Uriah slept 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, saying, Uriah 
 went not down unto his house, David said unto 
 Uriah, Camest thou not from thy journey? wh • 
 then didst thou not go down unto thine house ? 
 
 11 And Uriah said unto David, ''The ark, am 
 Israel, and Judah, abide in tents; and 'my lord Joab 
 and the servants of my lord are encamped in th» 
 open fields; shall I then go into mine house, to eat 
 and to drink, and to lie with my wife? As thou livest, 
 and as thy soul liveth, 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 even he went out to lie on his bed 'with the ser- 
 vants of his lord, but went not down to his house. 
 
 14 HAnd it came to pass in the morning, that 
 David '"Avrotea letter to Joab, and sent it hy the 
 hand of Uriah. 
 
 15 And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set ye 
 Uriah in the forefront of the f hottest battle, and re- 
 tire ye tfrom him, that he may "be smitten, and die. 
 
 lb And it came to pass, when Joab observed the

Uriah is slain. 
 
 11. SAMUEL, 
 
 city, that he assigned Uriah unto 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 11 Then Joab sent and told David all the 
 
 things concerning the war; 
 19 And charged the 
 
 saying, 
 
 When 
 
 . messenger, 
 thou hast made an end of telling the matters of the 
 Tar unto the king, 
 
 20 And if so be that the king's wrath arise, and 
 he say unto thee, Wherefore approached ye so nigh 
 unto 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 a mill- 
 stone upon him from the wall that he died in Thebez? 
 why went ye nigh the wall ? Then say thou, Thy 
 servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also. 
 
 22 H So the messenger went, and came and 
 shewed David all that Joab had sent him for. 
 
 23 And the messenger said unto David, Surely 
 the men prevailed against us, and came out unto 
 us into the field, and we were upon them even 
 unto the entering of the gate. 
 
 24 And the shooters snot from off the wall upon 
 thy servants : and some of the king's servants be 
 dead,, and thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also. 
 
 25 Then David said unto the messenger, Thus 
 malt thou say unto Joab, Let not this thing f dis- 
 please thee, for the sword devoureth 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 fetched her to his house, and she 'became his 
 wife, and bare him a son. But the thing that David 
 had done f displeased the Lord. 
 
 CHAP. XII. 
 
 Nathan's parable of the ewe-lamb, causelh David to be his own judge. 
 
 AND the Lord sent Nathan unto David. And 
 " he came unto him, and b said unto him. There 
 were two men in one city; the one rich, and the 
 other poor. 
 
 2 The rich man had exceeding many flocks and 
 herds : 
 
 3 But the poor man had nothing save 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 t meat, and drank 
 of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was 
 unto him as a daughter. 
 
 4 And there came a traveller unto the rich man, 
 and he spared to take of his own flock and of his 
 own herd, to dress for the way-faring man that was 
 come unto him ; but took the poor man's lamb, and 
 dressed it for the man that was come to him. 
 
 5 And David's anger was greatly kindled against 
 the man ; and he said to Nathan, As the Lord liveth, 
 the man that hath done this thing II shall surely die. 
 
 6 And he shall restore the lamb c four-fold, because 
 he did this thing, and because he had no pity. 
 
 7 IFAnd Nathan said to David, Thou art the 
 man. Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, I ''anoint- 
 ed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out 
 of the hand of Saul ;

 Nathan reproveth David 
 
 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 moreover have given unto thee 
 such and such things. 
 
 9 "Wherefore hast thou ^despised the command- 
 ment of the Lord, to. do evil in his sight? *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 Amnion. 
 
 10 Now therefore A the sword shall never depart 
 from thine house ; because thou hast despised me, and 
 hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife. 
 
 11 Thus saith the Loud, Behold, I will raise ap 
 evil against thee out of thine own house, and 1 will 
 'take thy wives before thine eyes, and give then 
 unto thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wiv<«t 
 in the sight of this sun. 
 
 12 For thou didst it secretly: *but I will do this 
 thing before all Israel, and before the sun. 
 
 13 -And David said unto Nathan, '"I have sinned 
 against the Lord. And Nathan said unto David, 
 The Lord also hath "put away thy sin; thou shalt 
 not die. 
 
 14 Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast 
 given great occasion to the enemies of the Lord^to 
 blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee 
 shall surely die. 
 
 15 IFAnd Nathan departed unto his house. And 
 the Lord struck the child that Uriah's wife bare 
 unto David, and it was very sick. 
 
 16 David therefore besought God for the child; 
 and David t fasted, and went in, and « lay all night 
 upon the earth. 
 
 IT 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 bread 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 spake unto him, and 
 he would not hearken unto our voice: how will he then 
 fvex himself, if we tell him that the child is dead? 
 
 19 But when David saw that his servants whis- 
 pered, David perceived that the child was dead : 
 therefore David said unto his servants, Is the child 
 dead? and they said, He is dead. 
 
 20 Then David arose from the earth, and washed, 
 and ""anointed himself, and changed his apparel, and 
 came into the house of the Lord, and ' 
 then he came to his own house ; and 
 quired, they set bread before him, and he did eat. 
 
 21 Then said his servants unto him, What thing 
 is this that thou hast done ? thou didst fast and weep 
 for the child while it was alive; but when the child 
 was dead, thou didst rise and eat bread. 
 
 22 And he said, While the child .was yet alive, 1 
 fasted, and wept: f for I said, Who can tell whether 
 God will be gracious to me, that the child may live ? 
 
 23 But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? 
 can I bring him back again ? I shall go to him, but 
 "he shall not return to me. 
 
 24 IFAnd David comforted Bath-sheba his wife, 
 and went in unto her, and lay with her: and r she 
 bare a son, and ^he called his name Solomon: and 
 the Lord loved him. 
 
 25 And he sent by the hand of Nathan the pronhel ,

 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: 
 le^t I take the city, and fit be called after my name. 
 
 29 And David gathered all the people together, and 
 went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it. 
 
 30 'And he took their king's crown from off his 
 head, (the weight whereof 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 
 fin great abundance. 
 
 31 And he brought forth the people that were 
 therein, and put them under saws and under harrows 
 of iron, and under axes of iron, and made them pass 
 through the brick-kiln: and thus did he unto all 
 the cities of the children of Amnion. So David 
 and all the people returned unto Jerusalem.

 Amnon feigning himself sick, rnvishelh Tamar. 
 
 AND it came to pass after this, " that Absalom the 
 son of David had a fair sister, whose name was 
 * Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her. 
 
 2 And Amnon was so vexed, that he fell sick for 
 his sister Tamar; for she tvas a virgin; and f Amnon 
 thought it hard for him to do any thing to her. 
 
 3 But Amnon had a friend, whose name was 
 Jonadab, 'the son of Shimeah David's brother: and 
 Jonadab was a very subtle man. 
 
 4 And he said unto him, Why art thou, being 
 the king's son, flean ffrom day to day? wilt thou 
 not tell me? And Amnon said unto him, I love 
 Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister. 
 
 5 And Jonadab said unto him, Lay thee down 
 on thy bed, and make thyself sick : and when thy 
 father cometh to see thee, say unto him, I pray 
 thee, let my sister Tamar come, and give me meat, 
 and dress the meat in my sight, that I may see it, 
 and eat it at her hand. 
 
 6 H So Amnon lay down, and made himself sick : 
 and when the king was come to see him, Amnon 
 said unto the king, I pray thee, let Tamar my sister 
 come, and d make me a couple of cakes in my sight, 
 that I may eat at her hand. 
 
 V Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go 
 now to thy brother Amnon's house, and dress him 
 meal. 
 
 8 So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house ; 
 and he was laid down. And she took || flour, and 
 kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and did 
 lake the cakes. 
 
 9 And she took a pan, and poured them out be- 
 fore 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 unto Tamar, Bring the meat 
 into the chamber, that I may eat of thine 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 unto him to 
 eat, he Aook holu of her, and said unto her, Come 
 lie with me, my sister. 
 
 12 And she answered him, Nay, my brother, do 
 not '{-force me; for *t n0 such tiling ought to be 
 d-*ne in Israel: do not thou this A folly.

 13 And I, whither shall I cause my shame to go? 
 and as for thee, thou shalt be as one of the fools iD 
 Israel. Now therefore, I pray thee, speak unto the 
 king; 'for he will not withhold me from thee. 
 
 14 Howbeit, he would not hearken unto her 
 voice: but being stronger than she, * forced her, and 
 lay with her. 
 
 15 HThen Amnon hated her f exceedingly ; so 
 that the hatred wherewith he hated her was greater 
 than the love wherewith he had loved her. And 
 Amnon said unto her, Arise, be gone. 
 
 16 And she said unto him, There is no cause: 
 this evil in sending me away is greater than the 
 other that thou didst unto riie. But he would not 
 hearken unto her. 
 
 17 Then he called his servant that ministered 
 unto him, and said, Put now this woman out from 
 me, and bolt the door after her. 
 
 18 And she had 'a garment of divers colours upon 
 her: for with such robes were the king's daughters 
 that were virgins apparelled. Then his servant 
 brought her out, and bolted the door after her. 
 
 19 II And Tamar put m ashes on her head, and rent 
 her garment of divers colours that was on hor, and 
 "laid her hand on her head, and went on crying. 
 
 20 And Absalom her brother said unto her, Hath 
 f Amnon thy brother been with thee? but hold 
 now thy peace, my sister: he is thy brother; f re- 
 gard not this thing. So Tamar remained f desolate 
 in her brother Absalom's house. 
 
 21 TTBut when king David heard of all these 
 things, he w r as very wroth. 
 
 22 II And Absalom spake unto his brother Amnon 
 "neither good nor bad: for Absalom ''hated Amnon, 
 because he had forced his sister Tamar. 
 
 23 And it came to pass after two full years, 
 that Absalom 9 had sheep-shearers in Baal-nazor, 
 which is beside 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 wilh 
 thy servant. 
 
 25 And the king said to Absalom, Nay, my son, 
 let us not all now go, lest we be chargeable unto 
 thee. And he pressed him : howbeit he would not 
 go, but blessed him. 
 
 26 Then said Absalom,. If not, 1 pray thee, let 
 my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said 
 unto him, Why should he go with thee? 
 
 27 But Absalom pressed him, that he let Amnou 
 and all the king's sons go with him. 
 
 28 IT Now Absalom had commanded his servants, 
 saying, Mark ye now when Amnon's 'heart is merry 
 with wine, and when I say unto you, Smite Amnon ; 
 then kill him, fear not; || have not I commanded 
 you? be courageous, and be t valiant. 
 
 29 And the servants of Absalom did unto Am- 
 non as Absalom had commanded. Then all the 
 king's sons arose, and every man tg a t hi m U P upon 
 his mule, and fled. 
 
 30 H And it came to pass, while they were m 
 the way, that tidings came to David, saying, Ab- 
 salom nath slain all the king's sons, and there is 
 not one of them left. 
 
 31 Then the king arose, and 'tare his garments, 
 and 'lay on the earth; and all his servants stood 
 by with their clothes rent.

 32 And "Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David's 
 brother, answered and said, Let not my lord suppose 
 that they have slain all the young men the king's 
 sons ; for Ainnon only is dead : for by the f appoint- 
 ment of Absalom this hath been || determined from 
 the day that he forced his sister Tamar. 
 
 33 Now therefore *let not my lord the kin"; take 
 the thing to his heart, to think that all the king's 
 sons are dead : for Amnon only is dead. 
 
 34 y But Absalom fled. And the young man 
 that kept the watch lifted up his eyeb, and looked, 
 and behold, there came much people by the way 
 of the hill-side behind him. 
 
 30 And Jonadab said unto the king, Behold, the 
 king's sons come : f as thy servant said, so it is. 
 
 36 And it came to pass, as soon as he had made 
 an end of speaking, that behold, the king's sons 
 came, and lifted up their voice and wept: and the 
 kina; also and all his servants wept f very sore. 
 
 37 TIBut Absalom fled, and went to *Talmai, 
 the son of || Ammihud, king of Geshur. And David 
 mourned for his son every day. 
 
 38 So Absalom fled, and went to "Geshur, and 
 was there three years. 
 
 39 And the soul of king David [| longed to go 
 forth unto Absalom: for he was * comforted con- 
 cerning Amnon, seeing he was dead. 
 
 CHAP. XIV. 
 
 Absalom 6?/ Joab is brought into the king's presence. 
 
 NOW Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived that the 
 king's heart was " toward Absalom. 
 
 2 And Joab sent to * Tekoah, and fetched thence 
 a wise woman, and said unto 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 on this manner 
 unto him. So Joab rf put the words in her mouth. 
 
 4 II And when the woman of Tekoah spake to 
 the king, she e fell on her face to the ground, and 
 did obeisance, and said, f-^Help, king. 
 
 5 And the king said unto her, What aileth thee ? 
 And she answered, B I am indeed a widow woman, 
 and mine husband is dead. 
 
 6 And thy handmaid had two sons, and they two 
 Btrove together in the field, and there was t none to part 
 them, but the one smote the other, and slew him. 
 
 7 And behold, A the whole family is risen against 
 thine handmaid, and they said, Deliver 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 sot hey shall quench my coal 
 which is left, and shall not leave to my husband 
 neither name nor remainder f upon the earth. 
 
 8 And the king said unto the woman, Go to thine 
 house, and I will give charge concerning thee. 
 
 9 And the woman of Tekoah said unto the king, 
 My lord, king, 'the iniquity be on me,.and on my fa- 
 ther's house : *and the king and his throne be guiltless. 
 
 10 And the king said, Whosoever saith aught 
 unto thee, bring him to me, and he shall not touch 
 thee any more. 
 
 11 Then said she, I pray thee, let the king re- 
 member the Lord thy God, fthat thou wouldest 
 not suffer 'the revengers of blood to destroy any 
 more, lest the}'' destroy my son. And he said, m As 
 the Lord liveth, there shall not 0De hair of thy son 
 fall to the earth.

 The widow of TeJcoaKs far-able.. 
 
 12 Then the woman said, Let thine handmaid, 1 
 pray thee, speak one word unto my lord the king;. 
 And he said, Say on. 
 
 13 And the woman said, Wherefore then hast 
 thou thought such a thing against "the people of 
 God? for the king cloth speak this thing as one 
 which is faulty, in that the king doth not fetch 
 home again "his banished. 
 
 14 For we ''must needs die, and are as water 
 spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up 
 again ; jl neither doth God respect any person : yet 
 doth he 'devise means, that his banished be not 
 expelled from him. 
 
 15 Now therefore that I am con e to speak of this 
 thing unto my lord the king, it is because the people 
 have made me afraid : and thy handmaid said, I will 
 now speak unto 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 thine handmaid said, The word of my lord 
 the king shall now be f comfortable : for r as an angel 
 of God, so is my lord the king f to discern good and 
 bad : therefore the Lord thy God will be with thee. 
 
 18 Then the king answered and said unto 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 woman answered 
 and said, As thy soul liveth, my lord the king, none 
 can turn to the right hand or to the left from aught 
 that my lord the king hath spoken : for thy servant 
 Joab, he bade me, and *he put all these words in 
 the mouth of thine handmaid : 
 
 20 To fetch about this form of speech 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 in the earth. 
 
 21 II And the king said unto 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 f thanked the king: ?ncl Joab 
 said, To-day thy servant knoweth that I have found 
 grace in thy sight, my lord, O king, in that the 
 king hath fulfilled the request of || his servant. 
 
 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 re- 
 turned to his own house, and saw not the king's face. 
 
 25 Iff But in all Israel there was none to be so 
 much praised as Absalom for his beauty: "from the 
 sole oi his foot even to the crown of his head there 
 was no blemish in him. 
 
 26 And when he polled his head, (for it was at 
 every year's end that he polled it; because I he hair 
 was heavy on him, therefore he polled it;) he 
 weighed the hair of his head at two hundred she- 
 kels after the king's weight. 
 
 27 And 'unto Absalom there were born three 
 sons, and one daughter, Avhose name was Tamar: 
 she was a woman of a- fair countenance. 
 
 28 11 So Absalom dwelt two full years in Jerusa- 
 lem, "and saw not the king's face. 
 
 29 Therefore Absalom sent for Joab. to have sent 
 
Absalom's conspiracy. 
 
 him 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 unto his servants, See, 
 Joab's field is fnear mine, and he hath barley 
 there ; go and set it on fire. And Absalom's ser- 
 vants set the field on fire. 
 
 31 Then Joab arose, and came to Absalom unto 
 his house, and said unto him, Wherefore have thy 
 servants set my field on fire? 
 
 32 And Absalom answered Joab, Behold, I sent 
 unto thee, saying, Come hither, that I may send 
 thee to the king, to say, Wherefore 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 Mil 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 b kissed Absalom. 
 
 CHAP. XV. 
 
 Absalom, by fair speeches and courtesies, stealelh the hearts of Israel. 
 
 AND "it came to pass after this, that Absalom 
 4 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 f came to the king for 
 judgment, then Absalom called unto 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 unto him, See, thy matters 
 are good and right ; but || there is no man deputed 
 of the king to hear thee. 
 
 4 Absalom said moreover, c Oh that I were made 
 judge in the land, that every man which hath any 
 suit or cause might come unto me, and I would do 
 him justice ! 
 
 5 And it was so, that when any man came nigh 
 to him to do him obeisance, he put forth his hand, 
 and took him, and kissed him. 
 
 6 And on 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 
 A-bsalom said unto the king, I pray thee, let me go 
 and pay my vow, which I have vowed unto the 
 Lord, in Hebron. 
 
 8 ^For thy servant 'vowed a vow h while I abode 
 in Geshur in Syria, saying, If the Lord shall bring 
 me again indeed to Jerusalem, then I will serve the 
 Lord. 
 
 9 And the king said unto him, Go in peace. So 
 he arose, and went to Hebron. 
 
 10 IT But Absalom sent spies throughout all the 
 tribes -of Israel, saying, As soon as ye hear 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 l called; and they went *in 
 their simplicity, and they knew not any thing. 
 
 12 And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilo- 
 nite, 'David's counsellor, from his city, even from 
 "Giiloh, while he offered sacrifices. And the con- 
 spiracy was strong; for the people "increased con- 
 tinually with Absalom.

 David Jlecih from JenualetTt. 
 
 saying, "The hearts 01 the men of Israel arc after 
 Absalom. 
 
 14 And David said unto all his servants that vurt 
 with him at Jerusalem, Arise, and let us ''flee; for 
 we shall not else escape from Absalom : make speed to 
 depart, lest he overbike us suddenly, and f bring evil 
 upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword. 
 
 15 And the king's servants said unto the kirig 
 Behold, thy servants are ready to do whatsoever my 
 lord the king shall f appoint. 
 
 16 And 'the king went forth, and all his house- 
 hold f after him. And the king left r ten woineu 
 which 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 hundred men which came aftei 
 him from Gath, passed on before the king. 
 
 19 IF Then said the king to 'Ittai the Gittite, 
 Wherefore goest thou also with us? return to thy 
 place, and abide with the king; for thou art a 
 stranger, and also an exile. 
 
 20 Whereas thou earnest but yesterda} r , should I 
 this day f make thee go up and down with lis ? 
 seeing I go "whither I may; return thou, and take 
 back thy brethren : mercy and truth be with thee. 
 
 21 And Ittai answered the king, and said, x As the 
 Lord liveth, and as my lord the king liveth, surely 
 in what place my lord the king shall be, whether in 
 death or life, even there also will thy servant be 
 
 22 And David said to Ittai, Go and pass over. 
 And Ittai 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 || Kidron, and all the people 
 passed over, toward the way of the y wilderness. 
 
 24 IF And lo, Zadok also, and all the Levites 
 were with him, * bearing the ark of the covenant of 
 God: and they set down the ark of God; and Abia- 
 thar went up, until all the people had done passing 
 out of the city. 
 
 25 And the king said unto Zadok, Carry back 
 the ark of God into the city: if I shall find favour 
 in the eyes of the Lord, he "will Tbring me again, 
 and shew me both it, and his habitation : 
 
 26 But if he thus say, I have no 'delight in 
 thee; behold, here am I, c let him do to me as seem- 
 eth good unto him. 
 
 27 The king said also unto Zadok the priest, Art 
 not thou a d 
 e your two 
 Jonathan the son of Abiathar 
 
 28 See, J 'I will tarry in the plain of the wilder- 
 ness, until there come word from you to certify rue. 
 
 29 Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried the ark 
 of God again to Jerusalem : and they tarried there. 
 
 30 TFAnd David went up by the ascent of mount 
 Olivet, fand wept as he went up, and *bad his head 
 covered, and he went ''barefoot: and all the people 
 that was with him 'covered every man his head, 
 and they went up, * weeping as the}' went up. 
 
 31 IF And one told David, saying, 'Ahithophel is 
 among the conspirators with Absalom. And Da\id 
 said, O Lord, I pray thee, '"turn the counsel of 
 Ahithophel into foolishness. 
 
 IF And it came to pass, that when David was 
 
 231 
 
 seer? return into the city in peace, and 
 sons with you, Ahimaaz thy son, und 
 
 Ol) 
 
ShtmM curscth David. 
 
 come to the top of the mount, where he worshipped 
 God, behold, Hushai the "Archite came to meet him 
 'with his coat rent, and earth upon his head : 
 
 33 Unto whom David said. If thou passest on 
 with me, then thou shalt be p & burden unto ras: 
 
 34 But if thou return to the city, and say unto 
 Absalom, 9 I will be thy servant, 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 
 counsel of Ahithophel. 
 
 35 And hast thou not there with thee Zadok and 
 Abiathar the priests ? therefore it shall be, that what 
 thing soever thou shalt hear out of the king's house, 
 ' thou shalt tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests. 
 
 36 Behold, theij have there 'with them their two 
 sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok's son, and Jonathan, Abia- 
 thar's son; and by them ye shall send unto me 
 every thing that ye can hear. 
 
 37 So Hushai, 'David's friend came into the city, 
 "and Absalom came into Jerusalem.

 6 Shimei curselh David. 9 David with patience abstaineth from revenge. 
 
 AND "when David was a little past the top of 
 the hill, behold, 6 Ziba the servant of Mephibo- 
 sheth met him, with a couple of asses saddled, and 
 upon them two hundred loaves of bread, and an 
 hundred bunches of raisins, and an hundred of 
 summer fruits, and a bottle of wine. 
 
 2 And the king said unto Ziba, What meanest 
 thou by these ? And Ziba said, The asses be for the 
 king's household to ride on; and the bread and sum- 
 mer fruit for the young men to eat; and the wine, 
 'that such as be faint in the wilderness may drink. 
 
 3 And the king said, And where is thy master's 
 son? rf And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he 
 abideth at Jerusalem : for he said, To-day shall the 
 house of Israel restore me the kingdom of my father. 
 
 4 c Then said the king to Ziba, Behold, thine are 
 all that pertained unto Mephibosheth. And Ziba 
 said, f I numbly beseech thee that I may find grace 
 in thy sight, my lord, king. 
 
 5 II And when king David came to Bahurim, be- 
 hold, thence came out a man of the family of the 
 house of Saul, whose name was s Shimei, the son of 
 Gera : || he canfe forth, and cursed still as he came. 
 
 6 And he cast stones at David, and at all the ser- 
 vants 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 fbloody man, and thou^man of Belial : 
 
 8 The Lord hath ''returned upon thee all 'the blood 
 of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reign- 
 ed; and the Lord hath delivered the kingdom into 
 the h;tnd of Absalom thy son : and f behold, thou art 
 taken in thy mischief, because thou art a bloody man. 
 
 9 IT Then said Abishai the son of Zeruiah unto the 
 King, Why should this *dead dog 'curse my lord the 
 king ? let me go over, I pray thee, and take off his head. 
 
 id And the king said, '"What have I to do with 
 you, ye sons of Zeruiah ? so let him curse, because 
 "the Lord hath said unto him, Curse David. "Who 
 shall then say, Wherefore hast thou done so? 
 
 11 And David said to Abishai, and to all his ser- 
 vants, Behold, ; 'my son, which *came forth of my 
 bowels, seeketh my life: how much more now may 
 this Benjamite do it? let him alone and let him 
 curse ; for the Lord hath bidden him.

 AhithopheFs counsel 
 
 12 It may be that the Lord will look on mine 
 II f affliction, and that the Lord will r requite me 
 good for his cursing this day. 
 
 13 And as David and his men went by the way, 
 Shimei went along on the hdl's side over against 
 him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones at 
 him, and feast dust. 
 
 14 And the king, and all the people that were witn 
 him, came weary, and refreshed themselves there. 
 
 15 If And 'Absalom, and all the people the men of 
 Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel wdth him. 
 
 16 And it came to pass, when Hushai the Archite, 
 'David's friend, was come unto Absalom, that Hu- 
 shai said unto Absalom, f God save the king, God 
 save 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 unto Absalom, Nay; but 
 whom the Lord, and this people, and all the men of 
 Israel choose, his will I be, and with him will I abide. 
 
 19 And again, x whom should I serve? should 1 not 
 serve in the presence of his son ? as I have served in 
 thy father's presence, so will I be in thy presence. 
 
 20 IT Then said Absalom to Ahithophel, Give 
 counsel among you what we shall do. 
 
 21 And Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Go in 
 unto thy father's y concubines, which he hath left to 
 keep the house ; and all Israel shall hear that thou 
 z art abhorred of thy father: then shall "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 unto his father s 
 concubines 6 in the sight of all Israel. 
 
 23 And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he coun- 
 selled in those days, was as if a man had inquired 
 at the f oracle of God : so was all the counsel of 
 Ahithophel c both with David and with Absalom. 
 
 CHAP. XVII. 
 
 Ahithophel' s counsel is overthrown by IlushaVa. 
 
 MOREOVER, Ahithophel said unto Absalom, 
 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 unto thee : 
 the man whom thou seekest is as if all returned : so 
 all the people shall be in peace. 
 
 4 And the saying f pleased Absalom well, and 
 all the elders of Israel. 
 
 5 Then said Absalom, Call now Hushai the Ar- 
 chite also, and let us hear likewise f what he saith. 
 
 6 And when Hushai' was come to Absalom, Ab- 
 salom spake unto him, saying, Ahithophel hath 
 spoken after this manner: shall we do after his 
 f saying? if not, speak thou. 
 
 7 And Hushai said unto Absalom, The counsel that 
 Ahithophel hath | given is not good at this time. 
 
 8 For, said Hushai, thou knowest thy father and 
 his men, that they be mighty men, and they be 
 f chafed in their minds, as c a bear robbed of her 
 whelps in the field : and thy father is a man of 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 be -[overthrown at the first, that whosoever hear- 
 
ffushai defeat el h AliilhophcTs counsel. 
 
 eth 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, shall utterly ''melt: for all Israel 
 knoweth that thy father is a mighty man, and they 
 which he with him are valiant men. 
 
 11 Therefore I counsel that all Israel be generally 
 gathered unto thee, 'from Dan even to Beer-sheba, 
 'as the sand that is by the sea for multitude ; and 
 f that thou go to battle in thine own person. 
 
 12 So shall we come upon him in some place 
 where he shall be found, and we will light 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 river, until there be not one small 
 stone found there. 
 
 14 And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, 
 The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the 
 counsel of Ahithophel. For *the Lord had f appoint- 
 ed to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, to the 
 intent that the Lord might bring evil upon Absalom. 
 
 15 II A Then said Hushai unto Zadok and to Abia- 
 thar the priests, Thus and thus did Ahithophel 
 counsel Absalom and the elders of Israel : and thus 
 and thus have I counselled. 
 
 16 Now therefore send quickly, and tell David, 
 6aying, Lodge not this night "in the plains of the wil- 
 derness, 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 "' En- 
 rogel; (for they might not be seen to come into the 
 city;) and a wench went and told them; and they 
 went and told king David. 
 
 18 Nevertheless, 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, which had a 
 well in his court; whither they went down. 
 
 19 And "the woman took and spread a covering 
 over the well's mouth, and spread ground corn 
 thereon ; and the thing was not known. 
 
 20 And when Absalom's servants came to the 
 woman to the house, they said, Where is Ahimaaz 
 and Jonathan? And'' the woman said unto them, 
 They be gone over the brook of water. And when 
 they had sought and could not find them, they re- 
 turned 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 unto David, 'Arise, and 
 pass quickly over the water : for thus hath Ahitho- 
 phel 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 lacked not one of them that 
 was not gone over Jordan. 
 
 23 HAnd when Ahithophel saw that his counsel 
 was not followed, j he saddled his ass, and arose, and 
 gat him home to his house, to r his city, and f put his 
 household in order, and 'hanged himself, and died, 
 and was buried in the sepulchre of his father. 
 
 24 Then David came to ' Mahanaim. And Ab- 
 salom passed over Jordan, he and all the men of 
 Lsrael with hiin. 
 
 25 HAnd 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

 Zenriah, Joab's mother. 
 
 26 So Israel and Absalom pitched in the land 
 of Gilead. 
 
 27 II And it came to pass, when David was come 
 to Mahanaim, that *Shobi the son of Nahash of 
 Itabbah of the children of Ammon, and "Machirthe 
 son of Arnmiel of Lo-debar, and 'Barzillai the 
 Gileadite of Rogelim, 
 
 28 Brought beds, and || basins, and earthen ves- 
 sels, and wheat, and barley, and flour, and parched 
 corn, and beans, and lentiles, and parched pulse, 
 
 29 And honey, and butter, and sheep, and cheese 
 of kine, for David, and for the people that were with 
 him, to eat : for they said, The people is hungry, 
 and weary, and thirsty, "in the wilderness. 
 
 CHAP. XVIII. 
 
 Absalom, hanging in an oak, is slain by Joab. 
 
 AND David numbered the people that vjere with 
 him, and set captains of thousands and caj>- 
 tains 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 Gitbte. 
 And the king said unto the people, I Avill surely go 
 forth with you myself also. 
 
 3 *But the people answered, Thou shalt not go 
 forth : for if we flee away, they will not f care for us ; 
 neither if half of us die, will they care for us : but now 
 thou art f worth ten thousand of us: therefore now 
 it is better that thou f succour us out of the city. 
 
 4 And the king said unto them, What seemeth 
 you best I 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, Veal gently for my sake with the 
 young man, even with Absalom. 'And all the people 
 heard when the king gave all the captains charge 
 concerning Absalom. 
 
 6 TISo the people went out into the field against 
 Israel ; and the battle was in the rf w r ood of Ephraim ; 
 
 7 Where 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 wood f devoured more 
 people that day than the sword devoured. 
 
 9 HAnd Absalom met the servants of David. 
 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 be- 
 tween 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 unto the man that told him r 
 And behold, thou sawest him, and why didst thou 
 not smite him there to the ground? and 1 would 
 have given thee ten shekels of silver, and a girdle. 
 
 12 And the man said unto Joab, Though I should 
 f receive a thousand shekels of silver in mine hand, 
 yet would I not put forth mine hand against the 
 king's son: 'for in our hearing the king charged 
 thee and Abishai and Ittai, saying, f Beware that 
 none touch the young man Absalom. 
 
 2:33 
 
Absalom is slam. 
 
 II. SAMUEL. 
 
 13 Otherwise I should have wrought falsehood 
 against, mine own life: for there is no matter hid 
 from the king, and thou thyself wouldest have set 
 thyself against me. 
 
 14 Then said Joab, I may not tarry thus fwith 
 thee. And he took three darts in his hand, and 
 thrust them through the heart of Absalom, while 
 he was yet alive in the t midst of the oak. 
 
 15 And ten young men that bare Joab's armour 
 compassed about and smote Absalom, and slew him. 
 
 16 And Joab blew the trumpet, and the people 
 returned from pursuing after Israel: for Joab held 
 back the people. 
 
 17 And they took Absalom, and cast him into a 
 great pit in the wood, and ^laid a very great heap 
 of stones upon him : and all Israel fled every one 
 to his tent. 
 
 18 UNow Absalom in his life-time had taken and 
 reared up for himself a pillar, which is in * the king's 
 dale: for he said, h I have no son to keep my name 
 in remembrance : and he called the pillar after his own 
 name : and it is called unto this day, Absalom's place. 
 
 19 II Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok, Let 
 me now run, and bear the king tidings, how that 
 the Lord hath f avenged him of his enemies. 
 
 20 And Joab said unto him, Thou shalt not f bear 
 tidings this day, but thou shalt bear tidings another 
 day : but this day thou shalt bear no tidings, be- 
 cause the king's son is dead. 
 
 21 Then said Joab to Cushi, Go, tell the king 
 what thou hast seen. And Cushi bowed himself 
 unto Joab, and ran. 
 
 22 Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok yet again 
 to Joab, But f howsoever, 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 unto him, Run. Then Ahimaaz ran by the 
 way of the plain, and overran Cushi. 
 
 24 And David sat between the two gates : and 
 'the watchman went up to the roof over the gate 
 unto the wall, and lifted up his eyes, and looked, 
 and behold a man running alone. 
 
 25 And the watchman cried, and told the king. 
 And the king said, If he be alone there is tidings in 
 his mouth. And he came apace, and drew near. 
 
 26 And the watchman saw another man running : 
 and the watchman called unto the porter, and said, 
 Behold, another man running alone. And the king 
 said, He also bringeth tidings. 
 
 27 And the watchman said, fMethinketh the run- 
 ning 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 unto the king, 
 ,| f All is well. And he fell down to the earth upon 
 his face before the king, and said, Blessed be the 
 Lord thy God, which hath f delivered up the men 
 that lifted up their hand against my lord the king. 
 
 29 And the king said, f Is the young man Absa- 
 lom safe? 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 toas. 
 
 30 And the king said unto him, Turn aside and 
 stand here. And he turned aside, and stood still. 
 
 31 And behold, Cushi came ; and Cushi said, f Ti- 
 dings, my lord the king : for the Lord hath avenged 
 thee this day of all them that rose up against thee.

 32 And the king said unto Cushi, Is the young 
 man Absalom safe? And Cushi answered, The ene- 
 mies of my lord the king, and all that rise against 
 thee to do thee hurt, be as that young man is. 
 
 33 IT 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 son Absalom! my 
 son, my son Absalom ! would God I had died for 
 thee, O Absalom, my son, my son ! 
 
 CHAP. XIX. 
 
 Joab cause.th the king to cease his mourning. 
 
 AND it was told Joab, Behold, the king weepefh 
 and mourn eth for Absalom. 
 
 2 And the f victory that day was turned into 
 mourning unto all the people: for the people heard 
 say that day how the king was grieved for his son. 
 
 3 And the people gat them by stealth that day 
 "into the city, as people being ashamed steal away 
 when they flee 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, which 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 f In that thou lovest thine enemies, and hatest 
 thy friends : for thou hast declared this day, f that 
 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 f com- 
 fortably unto thy servants : for I swear by the Lord, 
 if thou go not forth, there will not tarry one with 
 thee this night: and that will be worse unto thee than 
 all the evil that befell thee from thy youth until now. 
 
 8 Then the king arose, and sat in the gate. And 
 they told unto all the people, saying, '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 IT 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 rf fled out of the land for Absalom. 
 
 10 And Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is 
 dead in battle. Now therefore why f speak ye not 
 a word of bringing the king back ? 
 
 11 IF And king David sent to Zadok and to Abi- 
 athar the priests, saying. Speak unto 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 c my bones and 
 my flesh : wherefore then are ye the last to bring 
 back the king? 
 
 1?/ 'And say ye to Amasa, Art thou not of my 
 bone, and of my flesh? *God do 
 more also, if thou be not captain of 
 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 unto the king, Return 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 I And R Shimei thn son of Gera, a Benjamite, 
 
 so to me, and 
 the host befoie 
 
cifmna pardonca. 
 
 which was of Bahurim, hasted and came down wiih 
 the men of Judah to moot king- David. 
 
 17 And there were a thousand men of Benjamin 
 with him, and 'Ziha the servant of the house of Saul, 
 ind his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with 
 him; and they went over Jordan before the king. 
 
 18 And there went over a ferry-boat to carry over 
 the king's household, and to do f what he thought 
 good. And Shimei the son of Gera fell down be- 
 fore the king, as he was come over Jordan; 
 
 19 And said unto the king, '"Let not my lord im- 
 pute iniquity unto me, neither do thou remember 
 " + hat which thy servant did perversely the day 
 that my lord the king went out of Jerusalem, that 
 the king should "take 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 ; ' the house of Joseph to go down to meet my 
 lord the king. 
 
 21 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered and 
 said, Shall not Shimei be put to death for this, be- 
 cause he q cursed the Lord s anointed ? 
 
 22 And David said, r What have I to do with 
 you, ye sons of Zeruiah, that ye should this day be 
 adversaries unto 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 unto Shimei, Thou 
 shalt not die : and the king sware unto him. 
 
 24 IT And "Mephibosheth the son of Saul came 
 down to meet the king, and had neither 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 Je- 
 rusalem to meet the king, that the king said unto him, 
 r Wherefore wentest not thou with me, Mephibosheth ? 
 
 26 And he answered, My lord, king, my ser- 
 vant 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 unto my 
 lord the king; *but my lord the king is as an angel 
 of God : do therefore ivhat is good in thine eyes. 
 
 28 For all of my father's house -were but f dead 
 men before my lord the king: "yet didst thou set 
 thy servant among them that did eat at thine own 
 table. What right therefore have I yet to cry any 
 more unto the king? 
 
 29 And the king said unto him, Why speakest 
 thou any more of thy matters ? I have said, Thou 
 and Ziba divide the land. 
 
 30 And Mephibosheth said unto the king, Yea / 
 let him take all, forasmuch as my lord the king is 
 coine again in peace unto his own house. 
 
 31 If And 6 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 r he had provided the king 
 of sustenance while he lay at Mahanaini : for he 
 was a very great man. 
 
 33 And the king said unto Barzillai, Come thou 
 over with me, and 1 will feed thee with me in Je- 
 rusalem. 
 
 31 And Barzillai said unto the king, fHow long 
 have I to live, that I should go up with the king 
 "uno Jerusalem?

 the voice of singing-men and singing-women? where- 
 fore then should thy servant be yet a burden unto 
 my lord the king? 
 
 36 Thy servant will go a little way over Jordan 
 wuth.the king: and why should the king recom- 
 pense it me with such a reward ? 
 
 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 be-

 my lord the king; and do to him what shall seem

 38 And the king answered, Chimham shall go 
 over with me, and I will do to him that which shall 
 seem good unto thee: and whatsoever thou shalt 
 frenuire 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 unto 
 his own place. 
 
 40 Then the king went on to Gilgal, and fChimhara 
 went on with him : and all the people of Judah con- 
 ducted the king, and also half the people of Israel. 
 
 41 If And behold, all the men of Israel came to 
 the king, and said unto the king, Why have our 
 brethren the men of Judah stolen thee away, ami 
 *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 A near of kin to us: 
 wherefore then be ye angry for this matter? have 
 we eaten at all of the kings cost? or hath he given 
 us any gift? 
 
 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 f despise us, that our advice should 
 not be first had in bringing back our king? And 
 F the words of the men of Judah were fiercer than 
 the words of the men of Israel.

 By occasion of the quarrel, Slieba maketh a party in Israel. 
 
 AND there happened to be there a man of Belial, 
 wdiose name tvas Sheba, the son of Bichri, a 
 Benjamite: and he blew a trumpet, and said, "We 
 have no part in David, neither have we inheritance 
 in the son of Jesse : 6 every man to his tents, O Israel. 
 
 2 So every man of Israel went up from after 
 DaA r id, and followed Sheba the son of Bichri : but 
 the men of Judah clave unto their king, from Jor- 
 dan even to Jerusalem. 
 
 3 IT And David came to his house at Jerusalem, 
 and the king took the ten women his c concubines, 
 whom he had left to keep the house, and put them 
 in fward, and fed them, but went not in unto them. 
 So they were fshut up unto the day of their death, 
 f living in widowhood. 
 
 4 HThen said the king to Amasa, d t Assemble 
 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 him. 
 
 6 And David said to Abishai. Now shall Sheba 
 the son of Bichri do us more harm than did Absal-an : 
 
Shrhu beheaded. 
 
 Jl SAMUEL 
 
 take thou 'the lord's servants and pursue after him, 
 lest he get him fenced cities, and f escape us. 
 
 7 And there went out after him Joab's men, and 
 the -^Cherethites, and the Pelethites, 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 unto 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, 
 mv brother? A 'And Joab took Amasa 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 fifth 
 rid, and shed out his bowels to the ground, and fstruck 
 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 men stood by 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 saw that all the 
 people stood still, he removed Amasa out of the high- 
 way 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 highway, 
 all the people went on after Joab, to pursue after 
 Sheba the son of Bichri. 
 
 14 II And he went through all the tribes of 
 Israel unto *Abel, and to Beth-maachah, and all the 
 Berites : and they were gathered together, and 
 went also after him. 
 
 15 And they came and besieged him in Abel of 
 Beth-maachah, and they 'cast up a bank against the 
 city, and || it stood in the trench : and all the people that 
 were with Joab t battered the wall, to throw it down. 
 
 16 II Then cried a wise woman out of the city, 
 Hear, hear; say, I pray you, unto Joab, Come near 
 bother, that I may speak with thee. 
 
 17*And when he was come near unto her, the 
 woman said, Art thou Joab? And he answered, I 
 am he. Then she said unto him, Hear the words 
 of thine handmaid. And he answered, I do hear. 
 
 18 Then she spake, saying, || They were wont to 
 speak in old time, saying, They shall surely ask 
 counsel at Abel : and so they ended the matter. 
 
 19 I am one of them that are peaceable and faith- 
 ful in Israel : thou seekest to destroy a city and a 
 mother in Israel: wh} r wilt thou swallow up '"the 
 inheritance of the Lord? 
 
 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 f by 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 unto Joab, Behold, his 
 head shall be thrown to thee over the wall. 
 
 22 Then the woman went unto all the people "in 
 her wisdom : and they cut off the head of Sheba 
 the son of Bichri and cast it out to Joab. And he 
 blew a trumpet, and they f retired 
 every man to his tent. And Joab 
 rusaiem unto the king.

 three years famine for the Gibeonites cease. 
 
 HHIIEN there was a famine in the days of Davie* 
 J- three years, year after year; and David fin- 
 quired of the Lord. And the Lord answered, II 
 is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because ha 
 slew the Gibeonites. 
 
 2 And the king called the Gibeonites, and said 
 unto them; (now the Gibeonites were not of the 
 children of Israel, but °of the remnant of the Amo 
 rites; and the children of Israel had sworn unto 
 them : and Saul sought to slay them, in his zeal to 
 the children of Israel and Judah.) 
 
 3 Wherefore David said unto the Gibeonites, 
 
 and wherewith shall 
 ye may bless *the in 
 
 What shall I do for you? 
 make the atonement, that 
 heritance of the Lord? 
 
 4 And the Gibeonites said unto 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 remaining in any of the 
 coasts of Israel, 
 
 6 Let seven men of his sons be delivered rnito 
 us, and we will hang them up unto the Lord c i& 
 Gibeah of Saul, d \\whom the Lord 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 "the Lord's 
 oath that was between them, between David and 
 Jonathan the son of Saul. 
 
 8 But the king took the two sons of •'Rizpah the 
 daughter of Aiah, whom she bare unto Saul, Armom 
 and Mephibosheth ; and the five sons of || Michal 
 the daughter of Saul, whom she f brought up for 
 Adriel, the son of Barzillai the Meholathite: 
 
 9 And he delivered them into the hands of the 
 Gibeonites, and they hanged them in the hill*' be- 
 fore the Lord : 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 11 And * Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sack 
 cloth, and spread it for her 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 daugh- 
 ter of Aiah the concubine of Saul had done. 
 
 12 H And David went and took the bones of Saul 
 and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men c.f 
 * Jabesh-gilead, which 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 the v 
 gathered the bones of them that were hanged. 
 
 14 And the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son 
 buried they in the country of Benjamin in '■ Zelah. in 
 
On id's worthies slay four giants. 
 
 the sepulchre of Kish his father: and they pel ■ 
 formed 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 ser- 
 vants with him, and fought against the Philistines: 
 and David waxed faint. 
 
 lo And Ishbi-benob, which was of the sons of || the 
 giant, the weight of whose f spear weighed three 
 hundred snekeis of brass in weight, he being girded 
 with a new sw/ird, thought to have slain David. 
 
 17 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah succoured 
 
 him, and smote the Philistine, and killed him. 
 
 Then the men of David sware unto him, saying, 
 
 Thou shalt go no more out with us to battle, that 
 
 ,hou quench not the 'flight of Israel. 
 
 18 'And it came to pass after this, that there 
 was again a battle with the Philistines at Gob: 
 then '' Sibbechai the Hushathite slew || Saph, which 
 was of the sons of || the giant. 
 
 19 And there w r as 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 every hand six 
 fingers, and on every foot six tees, four and twenty 
 in number; and he also was born to || the giant. 
 
 21 And when he || defied Israel, Jonathan the 
 son of "Shimeah the brother of David slew him. 
 
 22 * These four were born to the giant in Gath, 
 .and fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of 
 his servants. 
 
 CHAP. XXII. • 
 
 A psalm of thanksgiving for God's powerful deliverance and manifold 
 
 blessings. 
 
 AND David "spake unto the Lord the w r ords of 
 this song in the day that the Lord had ''de- 
 livered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and 
 out of the hand of Saul: 
 
 2 And he said, c The Lord is my rock, and my 
 fortress, and my deliverer; 
 
 3 The God of my rock; rf in him will I trust: he 
 is my ''shield, and the •'horn of my salvation, my 
 high 8 tower, and my ''refuge, my saviour; thou 
 Bavest me from violence. 
 
 4 I will call on the Lord, ivho is worthy to be 
 praised : so shall I be saved from mine enemies. 
 
 5 When the || waves of death compassed me, the 
 Hoods of f ungodly men made me afraid; 
 
 6 The || 'sorrows of hell compassed me about; 
 the snares of death prevented me; 
 
 • In my distress *I called upon the Lord, and 
 cried to my God: and he did 'hear my. voice out of 
 Ins temple, and my cry did enter into his ears. 
 
 8 Then '"the earth shook and trembled: "the 
 foundations of heaven moved and shook, because 
 he was wioth. 
 
 9 There went up a smoke fout of his nostrils, 
 and "fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were 
 kindled by it. 
 
 10 He 'bowed the heavens also, and came down; 
 and '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 ho made 'darkness pavilions round about 
 niin, tdark waters, and thick clouds of the skies.

 13 Through the brightness before him were c couh 
 of lire kindled. 
 
 14 The Lord "thundered from heaven, and the 
 Most High uttered his voice. 
 
 15 And he sent out ■'"arrows, and scattered them; 
 lightning, and discomfited them. 
 
 10 And the channels of the sea appeared, the 
 foundations of the world were discovered, at the 
 ,J rebuking of the Lord, at the blast of the breath of 
 his || nostrils. 
 
 17 l He" sent from above, he took me; he drew 
 me out of || many waters: 
 
 18 "He delivered me from my strong enemy, and 
 from them that hated me: for they were too strong 
 for me. 
 
 19 They prevented me in the day of my calamity : 
 but the Lord was my stay. 
 
 20 *He brought me forth also into a large place: 
 he delivered me, because he 'delighted in me. 
 
 21 ''The Lord rewarded me according to my 
 righteousness: according to the 'cleanness of my 
 hands hath he recompensed me. 
 
 22 For I have y kept the waj's of the Lord, and 
 have not wickedly departed from my God. 
 
 23 For all his s judgments were before me: and 
 as for his statutes, I did not depart from them. 
 
 24 I was also ''upright f before him, and have 
 kept myself from mine iniquity. 
 
 25 Therefore 'the Lord hath recompensed me 
 according to my righteousness; according to my 
 cleanness fin his eye-sight. 
 
 26 With *the merciful thou wilt shew thyself 
 merciful, and with the upright man thou wilt shew 
 thyself upright. 
 
 27 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; 
 and 'with the fro ward thou wilt || shew thyself un- 
 savoury. 
 
 28 And the '"afflicted people thou wilt save: but 
 thine eyes are upon "the haughty, that thou mayest 
 bring them down. 
 
 29 For thou art my II lamp, O Lord: and the 
 Lord will lighten my darkness. 
 
 30 For by thee I have || run through a troop: 
 by my God have I leaped over a Avail. 
 
 31 As for God, "his way is perfect; p the word of 
 the Lord is || tried : he is a buckler to all them that 
 trust in him. 
 
 32 For "who is God, save the Lord? and who is 
 a rock, save our God ? 
 
 oo God is my 'strength and 
 f'maketh my way 'perfect. 
 
 34 He fmaketh my feet "like 
 
 power 
 hinds' feet 
 
 and he 
 and 
 
 *'setteth me upon my high places. 
 
 35 y Re teacheth my hands fto war; so that a 
 bow of steel is broken by mine arms. 
 
 36 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy sal- 
 vation : and thy gentleness hath f made me great. 
 
 37 Thou hast z enlarged my steps under me; so 
 that my f feet did not slip. 
 
 38 I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed 
 them; and turned not again until I had consumed 
 them. 
 
 39 And I have consumed them, aud wounded 
 them, that they could not arise: 3 r ea. they are 
 fallen " under my feet. 
 
 40 For thou hast 6 girded me with strength to 
 battle: them that rose up against me hast thoi 
 f subdued under me.

 II. SAMUEL 
 
 •11 Thou hast also given me the rf necks of mine 
 enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me. 
 
 42 They looked, but there was none to save; 
 even 'unto the Loud, but he answered them not. 
 
 43 Then did I beat them as small J as the dust of 
 the earth, I did stamp them *as the mire of the 
 street, and did spread them abroad. 
 
 44 A Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings 
 of my people, thou hast kept me to be 'head of the 
 heathen : *a people which I knew not shall serve me. 
 
 45 t Strangers shall || f submit themselves unto me : 
 as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient unto me. 
 
 46 Strangers shall fade away, and they shall be 
 afraid 'out of their close places. 
 
 47 The Lord liveth; and blessed Jemy rock; and 
 exalted be the God of the "'rock of my salvation. 
 
 48 It is God that f avenge th me, and that ''bring- 
 eth down the people under me, 
 
 49 And that bringeth me forth from mine ene- 
 mies: thou also hast lifted me up on high above 
 them that rose up agaiust me : thou hast delivered 
 me from the "violent man. 
 
 50 Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, 
 Lord, among ^the heathen, and I will sing praises 
 unto th}" name. 
 
 51 q He is the tower of salvation for his king: 
 and sheweth mercy to his 'anointed, unto David, 
 and 'to his seed for evermore. 
 
 CHAP. XXIII. 
 
 Dttvid in his last words professeth his faith in God" s promises. 
 
 NOW these be 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 psalmist of Israel, said, 
 
 2 c The Spirit of the Lord spake by me, and his 
 word was in my tongue. 
 
 3 The God of Israel said, d the Rock of Israel 
 spake to me, || He that ruleth over men must be 
 just, ruling e in the fear of God. 
 
 4 And J 'he shall be as the light of the morning 
 when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds ; 
 as 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, ordered 
 in all things, and sure : for this is all my salvation, 
 and all mg desire, although he make it not to grow. 
 
 6 IfBut the sons of Belial shall be all of them as 
 thorns thrust away, because they cannot be taken 
 with hands: 
 
 7 But the man that shall touch them must be 
 t fenced with iron and the staff of a spear; and they 
 shall be utterly bui-ned with fire in the same place. 
 
 8 If These be the names of the mighty men whom 
 David had : || The Tachmonite that sat in the seat, 
 chief among the captains ; the same was Adino the 
 Eznite: \\he lifted up his spear against eight hun- 
 dred, f whom he slew at one time. 
 
 9 And after him was h Eleazar 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 unto "the sword : 
 and the Lord wrought a great victory that day; 
 and ''■he people returned after him only to spoil.

 A catalogue of David's mighty met, 
 
 the Hararite. *And the Philistines were gathered to- 
 gether || into a troop, where was a piece of ground full 
 es : and the people fled from the Philistines. 
 But he stood in the midst of the ground, and 
 defended it, and slew the Philistines: and the Lord 
 wrought a great victory. 
 
 13 And '|| three of the thirty chief went down, 
 and came to David in the harvest-time unto m the 
 cave of Adullam: and the troop of the Philistines 
 pitched in " the valley of Rephaim. 
 
 14 And David was then in an "hold, and the gar- 
 rison 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 brake through the 
 host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well 
 of Beth-lehem, that tvas by the gate, and took it. and 
 brought it to David : nevertheless he would not drink 
 thereof, but poured it out unto the Lord. 
 
 17 And he said, Be it far from me, O Lord, that 1 
 should do this: is not this ''the blood of the men that 
 went in jeopardy of their lives? therefore he would 
 not drink it. These things did these three mighty men 
 
 18 And ''Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of 
 Zeruiah, was chief among three. And he lifted up 
 his spear against three hundred, \und slew them* 
 and had the name among three. 
 
 19 Was he not most honourable of three? there- 
 fore he was their captain : howbeit he attained not 
 unto the first three. 
 
 20 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of 
 a valiant man, of 'Kabzeel, fwho had done many 
 acts, 'he slew two f lion-like men of Moab: he went 
 down also and slew a lion in the midst of a pit in 
 time of snow : 
 
 21 And he slew an Egyptian, fa goodly man 
 and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but he 
 went down to him with a staff, and plucked 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 || more honourable than the thirty, 
 but he attained not to the first three. And David 
 set him 'over his || f guard.

 David tempted by Satan, farceth Joab to number tne people. 
 
 AND "again the anger of the Lord was kindled 
 against Israel, and || he moved 
 them to say, 4 Go, number Israel and Judah 
 
 2 For the king said to Joab, the captain of the host, 
 which was with him, i|Go now through all the tribes of 
 Israel, c from Dan even to Beer-sheba, and number }^e 
 the people, that '1 may know the number of the people. 
 
 3 And Joab said unto the king, Now the Lord 
 thy God add unto the people, how many soever 
 they be, an 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 Notwithstanding 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 pre- 
 sence of the king, to number the people of Israel. 
 
 5 ITAnd they passed over Jordan, and pitched in 
 'Aroer, on the right side of the city that lieth in the 
 midst of the || river of Gad, and toward 'Jazer: 
 
 6 Then they came to Gilead, and to the || land 
 of Tahtim-hodshi; and they came to *Dan-jaan, and 
 a.bout to ''Zidon, 
 
 7 And came to ths strong hold 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 number of 
 the people unto 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 II And ''David's heart smote him after that he 
 bad numbered the people. And David said unto the 
 Lo r ^, ' I. have sinned greatly in that I have done : 
 and now, 1 beseech thee, Lord, take away the 
 iniquity of thy servant ; for I have "'done very foolishly. 
 
 11 For when David was up in the morning, the 
 word of the Lord came unto the prophet "Gad, 
 David's "seer, saying, 
 
 12 Go and say unto David, Thus saith the Lord, 
 1 offer thee three things ; choose thee one of them, 
 that I may do it unto thee. 
 
 13 So Gad came to David, and told him, and said 
 unto him, Shall p seven years of famine come unto

 thine enemies, while they pursue thee? or that there 
 be three days' pestilence in Ihy land ? Now advise, and 
 see what answer 1 shall return to him that sent mo. 
 
 14 And David said unto Gad, 1 am in a great 
 strait: let us fall now into the hand of the Lor.n; 
 ''for his mercies are |1 great; and 'let me not fall 
 into the hand of man. 
 
 15 IfSo'the Lord sent a pestilence upon Israel 
 from the morning even to the time appointed : and 
 there died of the people from Dan even to Beer- 
 sheba seventy thousand men. 
 
 1G 'And when the angel stretched out his hand 
 upon Jerusalem to destroy it, "the Lord repented 
 him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed 
 the people, It is enough : stay now thine hand. 
 And the angel of the Lord was by the threshing- 
 place of * Araunah the Jebusite. 
 
 17 And David spake unto the Lord when he saw 
 the angel that smote the people, and said, Lo, ''l 
 have sinned, and I have done wickedly : but these 
 sheep, what have they done ? Let thine" hand, I pray 
 thee, be against me, and against my father's house. 
 
 18 IT And Gad came that day to David, and said 
 unto him, ''Go up, rear an altar unto the Lord in 
 the threshing-floor of f Araunah the Jebusite. 
 
 19 And David, according to the saying of Gad, 
 went up as the Lord commanded. 
 
 20 And Araunah looked, and saw the king and 
 his servants coming on toward him : and Araunah 
 Avent out, and bowed himself before the king on his 
 face upon the ground. 
 
 21 And Araunah said, Wherefore is my lord tho 
 king come to his servant? "And David said, To 
 buy the threshing-floor of thee, to build an altar 
 unto the Lord, that Uhe plague may be stayed 
 from the people. 
 
 22 And Araunah said unto David, Let my iord 
 the king take and offer up what seemeth good unto 
 him: c behold, here he oxen for burnt-sacrifice, and 
 threshing-instruments and other instruments of the 
 oxen for wood. 
 
 23 All these things did Araunah, as a king, give 
 unto the king. And Araunah said unto the king, 
 The Lord thy God ''accept thee. 
 
 24 And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but 
 I will surely buy it of thee at a price : neither will 
 I offer burnt-offerings unto the Lord my God of 
 that which doth cost me nothing. So e David bought 
 the threshing-floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of 
 silver. 
 
 25 And David built there an altar unto the Lord, 
 and offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings. •'So 
 the Lord was entreated for the land, and *tho 
 plague was stayed from Israel.

 3 So they sought for a fair damsel throughout 
 all the coasts of Israel, and found Abishag a "Shu- 
 nammite, and brought her to the king. 
 
 4 And the damsel was very fair, and cherished the

 king, and ministered to him : but the king knew her 
 not. 
 
 5 HThen * Adonijah the son of Ilaggith exalted 
 himself, saying, I will the king: and c he prepared him 
 chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him. 
 
 6 And his father had not displeased him f at any 
 time in saying, Why hast thou done so? and he 
 ;ilso was a very goodly man; ''and his mother bare 
 him after Absalom. 
 
 7 And |he conferred with Joab the son of Ze- 
 ruiah, and with 'Abiathar the priest: and Ahey, 
 t following Adonijah, helped him. 
 
 8 But Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of 
 Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and ^'Shimei, 
 and Rei, and ''the mighty men which belonged to 
 David, were not with Adonijah. 
 
 9 And Adonijah slew sheep, and oxen, and fat 
 cattle, by the stone of Zoheletn, 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 brother, he called not. 
 
 11 IT Wherefore Nathan spake unto 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 unto king David, and say 
 unto him, Didst not thou, my lord, king, swear 
 unto thine handmaid, saying, * Assuredly Solomon 
 thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon 
 my throne? why then doth Adonijah reign? 
 
 14 Behold, while thou yet talkest there with the 
 king, I also will come in after thee, and t confirm 
 thy words. 
 
 15 HAnd Bath-sheba went in unto the king into 
 the chamber : and the king was very old ; and Abi- 
 shag the Shunammite ministered unto the king. 
 
 16 And Bath-sheba bowed, and did obeisance unto 
 the king. And the king said, fWhat wouldest thou ? 
 
 17 And she said unto him, My lord, 'thou swarest 
 by the Lord thy God unto thine handmaid, saying, 
 Assuredly Solomon thy 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 "And he hath slain oxen, and fat cattle, and sheep 
 in abundance, and hath called all the sons of the king, 
 and Abiathar the priest, and Joab the captain of the 
 host: but Solomon thy servant hath he not called. 
 
 20 And thou, my lord, king, the eyes of all Is- 
 rael are upon thee, that thou shouldest tell them who 
 shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him. 
 
 21 Otherwise it shall come to pass, when my 
 lord the king shall "sleep with his fathers, that I 
 and my son Solomon shall be counted t offenders. 
 
 22 HAnd lo, while she yet talked with the king, 
 Nathan the prophet also came in. 
 
 23 And they told the king, saying, Behold Na- 
 than the prophet. And when he was come in be- 
 fore 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 me, and ne shall sit 
 upon my throne? 
 
 25 'For he is gone down this day, and hath slain

 Solomon an.omied king 
 
 oxen, and fat 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 tGod save king Adonijah. 
 
 26 But me, even me thy servant, and Zadok tbo 
 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 unto thy servant, who should 
 sit on the throne of my lord the king after him? 
 
 28 IF Then king David answered and said, Call 
 me Bath-sheba. And she came f m ^o the king's 
 presence, and stood before the king. 
 
 29 And the king sware, and said, q As the Lotu* 
 liveth, that hath redeemed my soul out of all distress, 
 
 30 r Even as I sware unto thee by the Lord 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 did reverence to the king, and sait', 'Let 
 my lord king David live for ever. 
 
 32 HAnd king David said, Call me Zaaok the 
 priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son 
 of Jehoiada. And they came before the king. 
 
 33 The king also said unto them, 'Take with you 
 the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my 
 son to ride upon t mine own mule, and bring him 
 dowm to " Gihon : 
 
 34 And let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet 
 ■* anoint him there king over Israel: and y blow ye 
 with the trumpet, and say, God save 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 nave appointed him to be ruler 
 over Israel and over Judah. 
 
 36 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered 
 the king, and said, Amen: the Lord God of my 
 lord the king say so too. 
 
 37 z As the Lord hath been w T ith my lord the king, 
 even so be he with Solomon, and "make his throiiu 
 greater than the throne of my lord king David. 
 
 38 So Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, 
 b and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada., and the Chere- 
 thites, 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 an horn of f oil 
 out of the tabernacle, and rf anointed Solomon. And 
 they blew the trumpet; e and all the people said, 
 God save king Solomon. 
 
 40 And all the people came up after him, and the 
 people piped with || pipes, and rejoiced with great 
 joy, so that the earth rent with the sound of them. 
 
 41 HAnd 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 spake, behold, Jonathan 
 the son of Abiathar the priest came : and Adonijah 
 said unto him, Come in; for Ahou art a valiant 
 man, and bringest good tidings. 
 
 43 And Jonathan ansAvered and said to Adunijah, 
 Verily our lord king David hath made Solomon king 
 
 44 And the kins: hath sent with him Zadok' the 
 priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son 
 of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethite* 
 
David's charge to Solomon. 
 
 and they have caused him to fide 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 rejoicing, so that the city rang 
 again. This is the noise that ye have heard. 
 
 40 And also 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 the 
 Lord God of Israel, which hath * given one to sit on 
 my throne this day, mine eyes even seeing it. 
 
 49 And all the guests that ivere with Adonijah were 
 afraid, and rose up, and went every man his way. 
 
 50 HAnd Adonijah feared because of Solomon, 
 and arose, and went, and 'caught hold on the horns 
 of the altar. 
 
 51 And it was told Solomon, saying, Behold, 
 Adonijah feareth king Solomon : for lo, he hath 
 caught hold on the horns of the altar, saying, Let 
 king Solomon swear unto me to-day that he will 
 not slay his servant with the sword. 
 
 52 And Solomon said, If he will sbew bimself a 
 worthy man, "'there shall not an hair of him fall to 
 the earth : but if wickedness 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 unto 
 him. Go to thine house. 
 
 CHAP. II. 
 
 David, having giren a charge to Solomon, dieth. 
 
 NOW " the days of David drew nigh that he should 
 die; and he charged Solomon his son, saying, 
 
 2 4 I go the way of all the earth: 'be thou strong 
 therefore, and shew thyself a man; 
 
 3 And keep the charge of the Lord thy God, to 
 walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his com- 
 mandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, 
 as it is written in the law of Moses, that thou may- 
 est d || prosper in all that thou doest, and whither- 
 soever thou turnest thyself. 
 
 4 That the Lord may 'continue his word which 
 he spake concerning me, saying, 7 Tf 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 
 t" fa il 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, unto *Abner the son 
 of Ner, and unto 'Amasa the son of Jether, whom 
 he slew, and fshed the blood of war in peace, and 
 put the blood of war upon his girdle that was about 
 nis loins, and in his shoes that were on his feet. 
 
 6 Do therefore '"according to thy wisdom, and let 
 Hot his hoar head go down to the grave in peace 
 
 7 But shew kindness unto the sons of "Barzillai 
 the Gileadite, and let them be of those that "eat at 
 thy table: for so ''they came to me when I tied 
 because of Absalom thy brother. 
 
 8 And behold, thou hast with thee q Shimei the son 
 of Gera, a Benjamite of Bahurim, which cursed me 
 tfith a f grievous curse in the day when I went to 
 Vliihanaim: but r he came down to meet me at Jor-

 Adonijah 1 s r er/ it f si: hi* dculh. 
 
 dan, and 'I sware to him by the Lord, saying. 1 
 [will not put thee to death with the sword. 
 
 9 Now therefore 'hold him not guiltless J for 
 ithou art a wise man, and knowest what thou ought- 
 
 est to do unto him; but his hoar head "bring thou 
 down to the grave with blood. 
 
 10 IF So •" David slept with his fathers, and was 
 buried in ''the city of David. 
 
 11 And the days that David 'reigned over Israel 
 were forty years: seven years reigned 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 greatly. 
 
 13 11 And Adonijah the son of Ilaggith came to 
 Bath-sheba the mother of Solomon : and she said, 
 *Comest thou peaceably? And he said, Peaceably. 
 
 14 He said moreover. I have somewhat to sav 
 unto thee. And she said, Say on. 
 
 15 And he said, Thou knowest that the kingdom 
 was 'mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, 
 that I should reign: howbeit the kingdom is turned 
 about, and is become my brother's: for ''it was his 
 from the Lord. 
 
 16 And now I ask one petition of thee, fdeny 
 me not. And she said unto him, Say on. 
 
 17 And he said, Speak, I pray thee, unto Solo- 
 mon the king, (for he will not say thee nay,) that 
 he give me e Abishag the Shunammite to wife. 
 
 18 And Bath-sheba said, Well; I will speak for 
 thee unto the king. 
 
 19 II Bath-sheba therefore went unto king Solomon, 
 to speak unto him for Adonijah. And the king rose 
 up to meet her, and •/'bowed himself unto her, and 
 sat down on his throne, and caused a seat to be set 
 for the king's mother; e and she sat on his right hand. 
 
 20 Then she said, I desire one small petition of 
 thee; 1 fray thee, say me not nay. And the king 
 said unto her, Ask on, my mother : for I will not 
 say thee nay. 
 
 21 And she said. Let Abishag the Shunammite 
 be given to Adonijah thy brother to wife. 
 
 22 And king Solomon answered and said unto his 
 mother, And Avny dost thou ask Abishag the Shunam- 
 mite for Adonijah? ask for him the kingdom also; 
 for he is mine elder brother; even for him. and for 
 h Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah. 
 
 23 Then king Solomon %ware by the Lord, sa} r - 
 ing, 'God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah 
 have not spoken this word against his own life. 
 
 24 Now therefore, as the Lord liveth, which hath 
 established me, and set me on the throne of David 
 my father, and who hath made me an house, as he 
 * promised, Adonijah shall be put to death this da v. 
 
 25 And king Solomon sent by the hand of Be- 
 naiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell upon him 
 that he died. 
 
 26 H And unto Abiathar the priest said the king, 
 Get thee to ' Anathoth, unto thine own fields ; for thou 
 art f worthy of death : but I will not at this time put 
 thee to death, '"because thou barest the ark of the Lord 
 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 unto the Lord; that he might "fulfil the word 
 of the Lord, which he spake concerning the house 
 of Eli in Shiloh. 
 
 28 11 Then tidings came to Joab: (for Joab 'had 
 turned after Adonijah, though he turned not after 
 
Joab slain. 
 
 Absalom;) and Joab fled unto the tabernacle of the 
 Lord, and « caught hold on the horns of* the altar. 
 
 29 And it was told king Solomon that Joab was 
 fled unto the tabernacle of the Lord; 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 tabernacle of the 
 Lord, and said unto him, Thus saith the king, Come 
 forth. And he said, Nay; but I will die here. 
 
 l. Kiwas 
 
 And Benaiah brought the 
 
 king 
 
 word 
 
 again, 
 
 saying, 
 
 head 
 ever 
 upon 
 
 Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me 
 
 31 And the king said unto him, 'Do as he hath 
 said, and fall upon him, and bury him; 'that thou 
 mayest take away the innocent blood which Joab 
 shed, from me, and from the house of my father. 
 
 32 And the Lord 'shall return his blood upon his 
 own head, who fell upon two men more righteous "and 
 better than he, and slew them with the sword, my 
 father David not knowing thereof, to wit, 'Abner the 
 son of Ner, captain of the host of Israel, and y Amasa 
 the son of Jether, captain of the host of Judah. 
 
 33 Their blood shall therefore return upon the 
 of Joab, and z upon the head of his seed for 
 °but upon David, and upon his seed, and 
 his house, and upon his throne, shall there be 
 
 peace for ever from the Lord. 
 
 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 wilderness. 
 
 35 IT And the king put Benaiah the son of Je- 
 hoiada in his room over the host: and 'Zadok the 
 priest did the king put in the room of c Abiathar. 
 
 36 II And the king sent and called for ''Shimei, and 
 said unto him, Build thee an 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 shaft 
 know for certain that thou shalt surely die : J thy 
 olood shall be upon thine own head. 
 
 38 And Shimei said unto the king, The sa} r ing 
 vs 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 unto 
 * Achish son of Maachah king of Gath : and they told 
 Shimei, saying, Behold, thy servants be in Gath. . 
 
 4.0 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 Shimei, and 
 said unto him, Did I not make thee to swear by the 
 Lord, and protested unto thee, saying, Know for a 
 certain, on the day thou goest out,, and walkest 
 abroad any whither, that thou shalt surely die? 
 and thou saidst unto me, The word that I have 
 heard is good. 
 
 43 Why then hast thou not kept the oath of 
 the Lord, and the commandment that I have charged 
 thee with? 
 
 44 The king said moreover to Shimei, Thou 
 knowest ''all the wickedness which thine heart is 
 privy to, that thou didst to David my father: 
 iherefore the Lord shall 'return thy wickedness 
 upon thine own head;

 46 So the king commanded Benaiah the son of 
 Jehoiada; which went out, and fell upon him, that 
 he died. And the 'kingdom was established in the 
 hand of Solomon. 
 
 CHAP. III. 
 
 Solomon's judgment between the two harlots, maketh him renowned. 
 
 AND " Solomon made affinity with Pharaoh king 
 of Egypt, and took Pharaoh's daughter, and 
 brought her into the *city of David, until he had made 
 an end of building his f own house, and ''the house of 
 the Lord, and Hhe wall of Jerusalem round about. 
 
 2 •'Only the people sacrificed in high places, be- 
 cause there was no house built unto the name of 
 the Lord, until those days. 
 
 3 And Solomon '•'loved the Lord, A walking in the 
 statutes of David his father : only he sacrificed and 
 burnt incense in high places. 
 
 4 And 'the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; 
 A for that was the great high place : a thousand burnt- 
 offerings did Solomon offer upon that altar. 
 
 5 IF 'In Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon 
 m in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I 
 shall give thee. 
 
 6 "And Solomon said, Thou hast shewed unto thy 
 servant David my father great ||mercy,accordingashe 
 "walked before thee in truth, and in righteousness, 
 and in uprightness of heart with thee; and thou hast 
 kept for him this great kindness, that thou /; hast given 
 him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day. 
 
 7 And now, O Lord my God, thou hast made thv 
 servant king instead of David my father : » and I am 
 but a little child: I know not how r 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 can- 
 not be numbered nor counted for multitude. 
 
 9 " Give therefore thy servant an f understanding 
 heart 'to judge thy people, that I may y discern be 
 tween good and bad : for who is able to judge this 
 thy so great a people ? 
 
 10 And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solo- 
 mon had asked this thing. 
 
 11 And God said unto him, Because thou hast 
 asked this thing, and hast * not asked for thyself f long 
 life ; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast 
 asked the life of thine enemies : but hast asked foi 
 thyself understanding fto discern judgment; 
 
 12 "Behold, I have done according to thy word. 
 To, I have given thee a wise and an understanding 
 heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, 
 neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee. 
 
 13 And I have also c given thee that which thou 
 hast not asked, both ''riches, and honour: so that 
 there || shall not be any among the kings like unto 
 thee all thy days. 
 
 14 And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep 
 my statutes and my commandments, e as thy fathej 
 David did walk, then I will J lengthen thy days. 
 
 15 And Solomon s awoke; and behold, it was a 
 dream. And he came to Jerusalem, and stood be- 
 fore the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and offered 
 up burnt-offerings, and offered peace-offerings, and 
 ''made a feast to all his servants. 
 
 16 IF Then came there two women, that were 
 harlots, unto the king, and ' "tood before him. 
 
 17 And the one woman said. O my lord, I nnd 
 
 ::u 
 
tiofomon s princes and officers. 
 
 chap. iv, v 
 
 I 
 
 this woman dwell in one house; and I was de 
 livered 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, save we two 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 thine handmaid slept, and laid 
 it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom. 
 
 21 And when I arose in the morning to give my 
 child suck, behold, it was dead: but when I had 
 considered it in the morning, behold, it was not my 
 son, which 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 spake 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, 
 Nav ; but thy son is the dead, and my son is the living. 
 
 ^4 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 spake the woman whose the living child 
 was unto the king, for fc her bowels f yearned upon 
 her son, and she said, my lord, give her the living 
 chihl, and in no wise slay it. But the other said, 
 Lx t it be neither mine nor thine, but divide it. 
 
 27 Then the king answered and said, Give her 
 the living child, and in no wise slay it : she is the 
 mother thereof. 
 
 28 And all Israel heard of the judgment which 
 the king had judged; and they feared the king: 
 for they saw that the 'w r isdom of God was fin him,

 His riches and wisdom 
 
 13 || The son of Ccbcr, in Bamoth-gilead ; to btm 
 pertained '' the towns of Jair the son of Manaeseli, 
 which are in Gilead; to him also pertained 'the re- 
 gion of Argob, which is in Bashan, threescore g'eal 
 cities with walls and brazen bare: 
 
 14 Abinadab the son of iddo had || Mahanaiiii : 
 
 15 Ahimaaz was in Naphtali; he also took Bus- 
 math the daughter of Solomon to wife: 
 
 16 Baanah the son of Ilushai was in Asher and 
 i A loth: 
 
 17 Jehoshaphat the son of Paruah, in Issachar: 
 
 18 Shimei the son of Elah, in Benjamin. 
 
 19 Geber the son of Uri was in the country of 
 Gilead, in *the country of Sihon king of the Arno- 
 rites, and of Og king of Bashan; and he was the 
 only officei* which was in the land. 
 
 20 M Judah and Israel were many, 'as the sand 
 which is by the sea in multitude, m eating and dniiK- 
 ing, and making merry. 
 
 21 And " Solomon reigned over all kingdoms from 
 "the river unto the land of the Philistines, and unto 
 the border of Egypt: ''they brought presents, and 
 served Solomon all the days of his life. 
 
 22 HAnd Solomon's f provision for one day was 
 thirty f measures of fine flour, and threescore mea- 
 sures of meal, ■ 
 
 23 Ten fat oxen, and twenty oxen out of the 
 pastures, and an hundred sheep, besides harts, and 
 roe-bucks, and fallow-deer, and fatted fowl. 
 
 24 For he had dominion over all the region on 
 this side the river, from Tiphsah even to Azzah, 
 over ? all the kings on this side the river: and 'he 
 had peace on all sides round about him. 
 
 25 And Judah and Israel 'dwelt f safely, 'every 
 man under his vine and under his fig-tree, "from 
 Dan even to Beer-sheba, all the days of Solomon. 
 
 26 IF And x Solomon had forty thousand stalls of 
 y horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen. 
 
 27 And Hhose officers -provided- victual for king 
 Solomon, and for all that came unto king Solo- 
 mon's table, every man in his month : they lacked 
 nothing. 
 
 28 Barley also and straw for the horses and 
 II dromedaries brought they unto the place where the 
 officers were, every man according to his charge. 
 
 29 HAnd "God gave Solomon wisdom and under- 
 standing exceeding much, and largeness of heart, 
 even as the sand that is on the sea-shore. 
 
 30 And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom 
 of all the children b of the east country, and all ' the 
 wisdom of Egypt. 
 
 31 For he was ''wiser than all men; c than Ethan 
 the Ezrahite, J and Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, 
 the sons of Mahol : and his fame was in all nations 
 round about. 
 
 32 And * he spake three thousand proverbs: and 
 his ''songs were a thousand and five. 
 
 33 And he spake of trees, from the cedar-trei 
 that is in Lebanon, even unto the hyssop that spring 
 eth out of the wall: he spake also of beasts, and 
 of fowl, and of creeping things, and of fishes. 
 
 34 And 'there came of all peonle to hear the 
 wisdom of Solomon, from all "Kings ol the earth, 
 which had heard of his wisdom. 
 
 CHAP. V. 
 
 Hiram sendcth to congratulate Solomon. 
 
 AND "Hiram king of Tyxe sent his servants unto 
 Solomon; for he had heard that they Lad 
 
SrJotrton's workmen and labourers. 
 
 sent to Solomon, saying, I have 
 things which thou sentest to me 
 
 concerning timber 
 
 anointed him king in the room of his father: Tor 
 Hiram vrh-s ever a lover of David. 
 
 2 And 'Solomon seat to Hiram, saying, 
 
 3 Thou knowest how that David my father could 
 not build an house unto the name of the Lord his 
 God, Tor the wars which were about him on every 
 side, until the Lord put them under the soles of 
 his feet. 
 
 4 But now the Lord my God hath given me 
 'rest on every side, so that there is neither adversary 
 nor evil occurrent. 
 
 5 -/"And behold, I f purpose to build an house 
 unto the name of the Lord my God, ^as the Lord 
 spake unto David my father, saying, Thy son, 
 whom I will set upon thy throne in thy room, he 
 shall build an house unto my name. 
 
 6 Now therefore command thou, that they hew me 
 'cedar-trees out of Lebanon; and my servants shall 
 be with ihy servants : and unto thee will I give hire 
 for thy servants according to all that thou shalt f ap- 
 point : for thou knowest that there is not among us any 
 that can skill to hew timber like unto the Sidonians. 
 
 7 IF And it came to pass, when Hiram heard the 
 words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and 
 said, Blessed be the Lord this day, which hath given 
 unto David a wise son over this great people 
 
 8 And Hiram 
 + considered the 
 for : and I will do all thy desire 
 of cedar, and concerning timber of fir 
 
 9 My servants shall bring them down from Leba- 
 non unto the sea: 'and I wdl convey them by sea 
 in floats unto the place that thou shalt f appoint me, 
 and will cause them to be discharged there, and thou 
 shalt receive them : and thou shalt accomplish my 
 desire, *in giving food for my household. 
 
 10 So Hiram gave Solomon cedar-trees and fir- 
 trees according to all his desire. 
 
 11 'And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand 
 f measures of wheat for food to his household, and 
 twenty measures of pure oil: thus gave Solomon 
 to Hiram year by year. 
 
 12 And the Lord gave Solomon wisdom, m as he 
 promised him : and there was peace between Hiram 
 and Solomon; and they two made a league together. 
 
 13 IF And king Solomon raised a flevy 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 Leba- 
 non, and two months at home. And "Adoniram 
 was over the levy. 
 
 15 "And Solomon had 
 sand that bare bui'dens, 
 hewers in the mountains ; 
 
 16 Besides the chief of Solomon's officers which 
 were over the work, three thousand and three hun- 
 dred, which ruled over the people that wrought in 
 the work. 
 
 17 And the king commanded, and they brought 
 peat stones, costly stones, and /'hewed 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.

 The building and 
 
 come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year 
 of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif. 
 which is the second month, that 'he f began to build 
 the house of the Lord. 
 
 2 And c the house which king Solomon built foT 
 the Loud, 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 thereof, according to 
 the breadth of the house; and ten cubits was the 
 breadth thereof, before the house. 
 
 4 And for the house he made d || windows of nar- 
 row lights. 
 
 5 IF And II against the wall of the house he built 
 e t chambers round about, against the walls of the 
 house round about, both of the temple •'"and of the 
 oracle : and he made f chambers round about. 
 
 6 The nethermost chamber was five cubits broad, 
 and the middle was six cubits broad, and the third 
 was seven cubits broad : for without in the wall of the 
 house he made t narrowed rests round about, that the 
 beams should not be fastened in the walls of the house. 
 
 7 And ? the house, when it was in building, was 
 built of stone mad* 1 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 
 was in building. 
 
 8 The door for the middle chamber ivas in the 
 right f side of the house : and they went up with 
 winding stairs into the middle chamber, and out of 
 the middle into the third. 
 
 9 "So he built the house, and finished it; and co- 
 vered the house |i with beams and boards of cedar. 
 
 10 And then he built chambers against all the 
 house, five cubits high: and they rested on the 
 house with timber of cedar. 
 
 11 IF And the word of the Lord came to Solo- 
 mon, saying, 
 
 12 Concerning this house which thou art in build- 
 ing, '.if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute 
 my judgments, and keep all my commandments to 
 walk in them; then wdl I perform my word with 
 thee, * which I spake unto David thy father : 
 
 13 And 'I will dwell among the children of 
 Israel, and will not m forsake my people Israel. 
 
 14 " So Solomon built the house, and finished it. 
 
 15 And he built the walls of the house within 
 with boards of cedar, || both the floor of the house, 
 and the walls of the ceiling: and he covered them 
 on the inside with wood, and covered the floor of 
 the house with planks of fir. 
 
 16 And he built twenty cubits on the sides of 
 the house, both the floor and the walls with boards 
 of cedar : he even built them for it within, even for 
 the oracle, even for the 'most holy place. 
 
 17 And the house, that if, the temple before it, 
 was forty cubits long. 
 
 18 And the cedar of the house within wis carved 
 with || knops and f open flowers : all ivas cedar ; 
 there was no stone seen. 
 
 19 And the oracle he prepared in the house with- 
 in, to set there the ark of the covenant of the Lord; 
 
 20 And the oracle in the forepart was twenty 
 cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, ami 
 twenty cubits in the height thereof: and he over- 
 laid it with fpure gold; and so covered the altar 
 which was of cedar. 
 

 adorning of the temple 
 
 21 So Solomon overlaid (ho 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 Hhe whole 
 altar that was by the oracle he overlaid with gold. 
 
 23 IF And within the oracle ''he made two eheru- 
 bims of || t olive-tree, each ten cubits high. 
 
 24 And five cubits was the one wing of the che- 
 rub, and five cubits the other wing of the cherub: 
 from the uttermost part of the one wing unto the 
 uttermost part of the other were ten cubits. 
 
 25 And the other cherub was ten cubits: both 
 the cherubims were of one measure and one size. 
 
 26 The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, 
 and so tvas it of the other cherub. 
 
 • 27 And he set the cherubims within the inner 
 house: and r II they stretched forth the wings of the 
 cherubims, 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 cherubims with gold. 
 
 29 And he carved all the walls of the house 
 round about with carved figures of cherubims, and 
 palm-trees, and f open flowers, within and without. 
 
 30 And the floor of the house he overlaid with 
 gold, within and without. 
 
 31 II 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 || two doers also were of olive-tree; and 
 he carved upon them carvings of cherubims, and 
 palm-trees, and f open flowers, and overlaid them 
 with .gold, and spread gold upon the cherubims, 
 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 fir-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 cherubims, and palm- 
 trees, and open flowers; and covered 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 foundation of 
 the house of the Lord laid, in the month Zif : 
 
 38 And in the eleventh year, in the month Bui 
 (which is the eighth month) was the hnuse finished 
 [throughout all the parts thereof and according 
 to all the fashion of it. So was he "seven years in 
 building it.

 1 The building of Solomon's house, 2 of the house of Lebanon. 
 
 BUT Solomon was building his own house " thir- 
 teen years, and he finished all his house. 
 
 2 HHe built also the house of the forest of Leba- 
 non; the length thereof tvas an hundred cubits, and 
 I he breadth thereof fifty cubits, and the height 
 (hereof thirty cubits, upon four rows of cedar pil- 
 lars, with cedar beams upon the pillars. 
 
 3 And it was covered with cedar above upon the 
 t beams that lay. on forty-five pillars, fifteen in a row. 
 
 4 And there were windows in three rows, and 
 t light tvas against light in three ranks. 
 
 5 And all the || doors and posts were square with the 
 windows : and light wa.s against light in three ranks.

 G IT A rid he made a porch of pillars, the length 
 thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth thereof thirty 
 
 cubits: and the porch was II before them: and the 
 other pillars and the thick beam were II before them. 
 
 7 If Then he made a porch for. the throne wherd 
 he might judge, even the porch of judgment: and 
 it was covered with cedar f from one side of tho 
 floor to the other. 
 
 8 IT And his house where he dwelt had another 
 court within the porch, which was of the like work. 
 Solomon made also an house for Pharaoh's daughter, 
 ''whom he had taken to wife, like unto this porch. 
 
 9 All these were of costly stones, according to the 
 measures of hewed stones, sawed with saws, within 
 and without, even from the foundation unto the 
 coping, and so on the outside toward the great court. 
 
 10 And the foundation tvas of costly stones, even 
 great stones; stones of ten cubits, and stones of 
 eight cubits. 
 
 11 And above were costly stones, after the mea 
 sures of hewed stones, and cedars. 
 
 1.2 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 the 
 Lord, 'and for the porch of the house. 
 
 13 If And king Solomon sent and fetched rf Hiram 
 out of Tyre. 
 
 14 ' He was fa widow's son of the tribe of Naphtali, 
 and y his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in brass ; 
 and *he was filled with wisdom, and understanding, 
 md cunning to work all works in brass. And he 
 came to king Solomon, and wrought all his work. 
 
 15 For he feast A two pillars of brass, of eighteen 
 cubits high apiece: and a line of twelve cubits did 
 compass either of them about. 
 
 16 And he made two chapiters of molten brass 
 to set upon the tops of the pillars : the height of 
 the one chapiter was five cubits, and the height of 
 the other chapiter was five cubits : 
 
 17 And nets of checker-work, and wreaths of 
 chain-work, for the chapiters which were upon the 
 top of the pillars; seven for the one chapiter, and 
 seven for the other chapiter. 
 
 18 And he made the pillars, and two rows round 
 about upon the one net-work, to cover the chapiters 
 that were upon the top, with pomegranates : and so 
 did he for the other chapiter. 
 
 19 And the chapiters that were upon the top of the 
 pillars were of lily-work in the porch, four cubits. 
 
 20 And the chapiters upon the two pillars had pome- 
 granates also above, over against the belly which teas 
 by the net-work: and the pomegranates were 'two 
 hundred in rows round about upon the other chapiter, 
 
 21 *And he set up the pillars in 'the porch of the 
 temple: and he set up the right pillar, and called 
 the name thereof || Jachin : and he set up the left 
 pillar, and called the name thereof || Boaz. 
 
 22 And upon the top of the pillars tvas lily-work : 
 so was the work of the pillars finished. 
 
 23 TFAnd he made m a molten sea, ten cubits 
 ffrom the one brim to the other: it was round all 
 about, and his height tvas five cubits and a line of 
 thirty cubits did compass it round about. 
 
 24 And under the brim of it round about there 
 were knops compassing it, ten in a cubit, "compass- 
 ing the sea round about: the knops were cast in 
 two rows, when it was cast. 
 
 25 It stood upon "twelve oxen, l hree lookinp 
 
 235 
 
Hiram s work and 
 
 toward the north, and three looking toward the west, 
 and three looking toward the south, and three look- 
 ing toward the east : and the sea was set above upon 
 them, and all their hinder parts were inward. 
 
 26 And it ivas an hand-breadth thick, and the brim 
 thereof was wrought like the brim of a cup, with 
 flowers of lilies: it contained ''two thousand baths. 
 
 27 II 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 on this man- 
 ner: they had borders, and the borders were be- 
 tween the ledges : 
 
 29 And on the borders ihniwere between the ledges 
 were lions, oxen, and cherubims : and upon the ledges 
 there was a base above : and beneath the lions and 
 oxen were certain additions made of thin. work. 
 
 30 And every base had four brazen wheels, and 
 plates of brass: and the four corners thereof had 
 undersetters : under the lavcr were undersetters 
 molten, at the side of every addition. 
 
 31 And the mouth of it within the chapiter 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 gravings with their 
 borders, four square, not round. 
 
 32 And under the borders zvere 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 tvas like the work 
 ot a chariot wheel: their axletrees, and their naves, 
 aud their felloes, and their spokes, were all molten. 
 
 34 And there were four undersetters to the four 
 corners of one base : and tho undersetters were of 
 the very base itself. 
 
 35 And in 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 graved cherubims, lions, 
 and palm-trees, according to the f proportion of 
 ev ei'y one, and additions round about. 
 
 37 After this manner he made the ten bases : all 
 of them had one casting, one measure, and one size. 
 
 38 IT Then ? made he ten lavers Of brass : one laver 
 contained forty baths : and every laver was four cu- 
 bits : and upon every one of the ten bases one laver. 
 
 39 And he put five bases on the right f side 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 II And f Hiram made the lavers, and the 
 shovels, and the basins. So Hiram made an end 
 of doing all the work that he made 
 for the house of the Lord : 
 
 41 The two pillars, and the tivo bowls of the 
 chapiters that were on the top of the two pillars ; and 
 the two r net-works, to cover the two bowls of the 
 chapiters which were upon the top of the pillars; 
 
 42 And four hundred pomegranates for the two 
 net-works, even two rows of pomegranates for one 
 net-work, to cover the two bowls of the chapiters 
 'hat were fupon the pillars; 
 
 43 And the ten bases, and ten lavers on the bases; 
 
 44 And one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea; 
 4 5 'And the pots, and the shovels, and the basins ■

 find all these vessels which Hiram made to king Solo- 
 mon for the house of the Lord, were of fbright brass. 
 
 46 'In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, tin 
 the clay-ground between "Succoth and a Zarthan 
 
 47 And Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, 
 t because they were exceeding many : neither was 
 the weight of the brass f found out. 
 
 48 And Solomon made all the vessels that per- 
 tained unto the house of the Lord: "the altar of 
 gold, and l the table of gold, whereupon "the shew 
 bread was, 
 
 49 And the candlesticks of pure gold, five on the 
 right side, and five on the left, before the oracle, with 
 the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs o/'gold, 
 
 50 And the bowls, and the snuffers, and the 
 basins, and the spoons, and the f censers of pure 
 gold; and the hinges of gold, both for the doors of . 
 the inner house, the most holy place, and for thy 
 doors of the house, to wit, of the temple. 
 
 51 So was ended all the work that king Solomon 
 made for the house of the Lord. And Solomon 
 brought in the f things ''which David his father had 
 dedicated : even the silver, and the gold, and the 
 vessels, did he put among the treasures of the house 
 of the Lord.

 THEN "Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, 
 and all the heads of the tribes, the f chief of 
 the fathers of the children of Israel, unto king 
 Solomon in Jerusalem, *that they might bring up 
 the ark of the covenant of the Lord c out of the 
 city of David, which is Zion. 
 
 2 And all the men of Israel assembled them- 
 selves unto king Solomon at the d feast in the month 
 Ethanim, which is the seventh month, 
 
 3 And all the elders of Israel came, 'and the 
 priests took up the ark. 
 
 4 And they brought up the ark of the Lord, -/"and 
 the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy 
 vessels that were in the tabernacle, even those did 
 the priests and the Levites bring up. 
 
 5 And king Solomon, and all the congregation of 
 Israel, that were assembled unto him, were with 
 him before the ark, * sacrificing sheep and oxen, that 
 could not be told nor numbered for multitude. 
 
 6 And the priests ''brought in the ark of the 
 covenant of the Lord unto 'his place, into the oracle 
 of the house, to the most holy place, even k under 
 the wings of the cherubims. 
 
 7 For the cherubims spread forth their two wings 
 over, the place of the ark, and the cherubims co- 
 vered the ark and the staves thereof above. 
 
 8 And they 'drew out the staves, that the fends 
 of the staves were seen out in the || holy place be- 
 fore the oracle, and they were not seen without: 
 and there they are unto this day. 
 
 9 m There was nothing in the ark "save the two 
 tables of stone, which Moses "put there at Horeb, 
 || /'when the Lord 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 were 
 come out of the holy place, that the cloud 'filled 
 the house of the Lord, 
 
 11 So that the priests could not stand to minister 
 because of the cloud : for the glory of the Loud had

 12 IF'Then spake Solomon, The Lord said that 
 ne would dwell 'in the thick darkness. 
 
 13 'I have surely built thee an house to dwell 
 in, "a settled place 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, y Blessed be the Lord God of Is- 
 rael, which , spake with his mouth unto 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 an house, that 4 my name 
 might be therein; but I chose 'David to be over 
 my people Israel. 
 
 17 And d it was in the heart of David my father 
 to build an house for the name of the Lord God of 
 Israel. 
 
 18 'And the Lord said unto David my father, 
 Whereas it was in thine heart to build an house unto 
 my name, thou didst well that it was in thine heart. 
 
 *19 Nevertheless, Ahou shalt not buikl the house; 
 but thy son that shall come fdrth out of thy loins, 
 he shall build the house unto my name. 
 
 20 And the Lord hath performed his word that 
 he spake, and I am risen up in the room of David 
 my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, *as the 
 Lord promised, and have built an house for the 
 name of the Lord God of Israel. 
 
 21 And I have set there a place for the ark, 
 wherein is ''the covenant of the Lord, which he 
 made with our fathers, when he brought them out 
 of the land of Egypt. 
 
 22 IF And Solomon stood before 'the altar of the 
 Lord in the presence of all the congregation of Is- 
 rael, and * spread forth his hands toward heaven: 
 
 23 And he said, Lord God of Israel, m there is no 
 God like thee, in heaven above, or on earth beneath, 
 " who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants 
 that "walk before thee w T ith all their heart: 
 
 24 Who hast kept with thy servant David my 
 father that thou promisedst him : thou spakest also 
 with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thine 
 hand, as it is this day. 
 
 25 Therefore now, Lord God of Israel, keep 
 . with thy servant David my father that thou pro- 
 misedst him, saying, p f There shall not fail thee a 
 man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel; t so 
 that thy children take heed to their 'way, that they 
 walk before me as thou hast walked before me. 
 
 26 'And now, God of Israel, let thy word, I 
 pray thee, be verified, which thou spakest unto thy

 II in this house : 
 
 34 Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin 
 of thy people Israel, and bring^ them again unto the 
 land which thou gavest unto their fathers. 
 
 35 IF c When heaven is shut up, and there is nc 
 rain, because they have sinned against thee; if they 
 pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and 
 turn from their sin, when thou afflictest them: 
 
 36 Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin 
 of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, that thv,u 
 ''teach them 'the good way wherein they should 
 walk, and give rain upon thy land, which thou hast 
 given to thy people for an inheritance. 
 
 37 IF-Tf there be in the land famine, if there be 
 pestilence, blasting, mildew, locust, or if there be 
 caterpillar; if their enemy besiege them in the 
 land of their || cities, whatsoever plague, whatsoever 
 sickness there be; 
 
 38 What prayer and supplication soever be made 
 by any man, or by all thy people Israel, which 
 shall know every man the plague of his own heart, 
 and spread forth his. hands toward this house : 
 
 39 Then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling-place, 
 and forgive, and do, and give to every man accord- 
 ing to his waj^s, whose heart thou knowest; (for 
 thou, even thou only, ^ know est the hearts of all the 
 children of men;) 
 
 40 * That they may fear thee all the days that they 
 live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers. 
 
 41 Moreover, concerning a stranger, that is not 
 of thy people Israel, but cometh out of a far coun- 
 try for thy name's sake ; 
 
 42 (For they shall hear of thy great name, and of 
 thy l strong hand, and of th}^ stretched-out arm;) 
 when he shall come and pray toward this house; 
 
 43 Hear thou in heaven thy dwelling-place, and 
 do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee 
 for: *that all people of the earth may know thy 
 name, to 'fear thee, as do thy people Israel; and 
 that they may know that f this 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 unto the Lord f toward the city which 
 thou hast chosen, and toivard the house that I have 
 built for thy name : 
 
 45 Then hear thou in heaven their prayer and 
 their supplication, and maintain their || cause. 
 
 46 If they sin against thee, ('"for there is no man that 
 sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deli- 
 ver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away 
 captives "unto the land of the enemy, far or near; 
 
 47 "Yet if they shall f bethink themselves in the land 
 whither they were carried captives, and repent, and 
 make supplication unto thee in the land of them that 
 
 2S7 
 
Solomon nte^eth the 'people: 
 
 carried them captives, ''saying. We have sinned, and 
 nave done perversely, we have committed wickedness ; 
 
 48 And so 'return unto thee with all their heart, 
 and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies 
 which led them away captive, and r pray unto thee 
 toward their land, which thou gavest unto 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 sup- 
 plication in heaven thy dwelling-place, and main- 
 tain their |i cause, 
 
 50 And forgive thy people that have sinned 
 xgainst thee, and all their transgressions wherein 
 they have transgressed against thee, and 'give them 
 compassion before them who carried them captive, 
 that they may have compassion on them : 
 
 51 For 'they be thy people, and thine inherit- 
 ance, which thou broughtest forth out of Egypt, 
 "from the midst of the furnace of iron: 
 
 52 That thine eyes may be open unto the sup- 
 plication of thy servant, and unto the supplication 
 of thy people Israel, to hearken unto them in all 
 that they call for unto thee. 
 
 53 For thou didst separate them from among all 
 the people of the earth, to be thine inheritance, -"as 
 thou spakest by the hand of Moses thy servant, 
 when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, 
 Lord God. 
 
 54 And it was so, that when Solomon had made 
 an end of praying all this prayer and supplication 
 unto the Lord, he arose from before the altar of 
 the Lord, from kneeling on his knees with his 
 hands spread up to heaven. 
 
 55 And he stood ^and blessed all the congrega- 
 tion of Israel with a loud voice, saying, 
 
 56 Blessed be the Lord, that hath given rest unto 
 his people Israel, according to all that he promised : 
 * there hath not f failed one word of all his good 
 promise, which he promised by the hand of Moses 
 his servant. 
 
 57 The Lord our God be with us, as he was with 
 our fathers: "let him not leave us, nor forsake us: 
 
 58 That he may b incline our hearts unto him, to 
 walk in all his ways, and to keep his command- 
 ments, and his statutes, and his judgments, which 
 he commanded our fathers. 
 
 59 And let these my words wherewith I have 
 made supplication before the Lord, be nigh unto 
 the Lord our God day and night, that he maintain 
 the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people 
 [srael f at all times, as the matter shall require : 
 
 60 "That all the people of the earth may know 
 that ''the Lord is God, and that there is none else. 
 
 61 Let your 'heart therefore be perfect with 
 the Lord our God, to walk in his statutes, and to 
 keep his commandments, as at this day. 
 
 62 IT And •''the king, and all Israel with him, 
 offered sacrifice before the Lord. 
 
 63 And Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace-of- 
 ferings, which he offered unto the Lord, two and 
 twenty thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty 
 thousand sheep. So the king and all the children 
 of Israel dedicated the house of the Lord. 
 
 64 s The same day did the kino; hallow the middle 
 of the court that was before the house of the Lord : 
 for there he offered burnt-offerings, and meat-offer- 
 ings, and the fat of the peace-offerings : because ''the 
 brazen altar that was before the Lord was too little

 65 And at that time Solomon held 'a feast, and 
 all Israel witn him, a great congregation, from *the 
 entering in of Hamath -unto 'the river of Egypt, 
 before .the Lord our God, m seven days and seven 
 days, even fourteen days. 
 
 66 "On the eighth day he sent the people away:

 that the Lord had done for David his servant, and 
 for Israel his people.

 God's covenant in a vision with Solomon. 
 
 AND "it came to pass, when Solomon had finished 
 the building ot the house of the Lord, *and 
 the king's house, and 'all Solomon's desire which 
 he was pleased to do, 
 
 2 That the Lord appeared to Solomon the second 
 time, rf as he had appeared unto him at Gibeon. 
 
 .3 And the Lord said unto him, 'I have heard 
 thy prayer and thy supplication that thou hast made 
 before me : I have hallowed this house, which thou 
 hast built, J to put my name there for ever; *and 
 mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually 
 
 4 And if thou wilt h walk before me, 'as David thy 
 father walked, in integrity of heart, and in upright- 
 ness, to do according to all that I have commanded 
 thee, and wilt keep my statutes and my judgments : 
 
 5 Then I will establish the throne of thy king- 
 dom upon Israel for ever, *as I promised to David 
 thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man 
 upon the throne of Israel. 
 
 6 ' Bid if ye shall at all turn from following me, ye 
 or your children, and will not keep my command- 
 ments and my statutes 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 Avhich 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 p at this house, which is high, everyone 
 that passeth by it shall be astonished, and shall 
 hiss; and they shall say, 'Why hath the Lord 
 done thus unto this land, and to this house? 
 
 9 And they shall answer, Because they forsook 
 the Lord their God, who brought forth their fathers 
 out of the land of Egypt, and have taken hold upon 
 other gods, and have worshipped them, and served 
 them : therefore hath the Lord brought upon them 
 all this evil. 
 
 10 IT And 'it came to pass at the end of twenty 
 
 years, when Solomon hac 
 house of the Lord, and i 
 
 built the two houses, the 
 le king's house, 
 
 11 {* Noiv Hiram the king^ of Tyre had furnished 
 Solomon with cedar-trees and fir-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 out from Tyre to see the 
 cities which Solomon had given him ; and they 
 t pleased him not. 
 
 13 And he said, What cities are these which 
 thou hast given me, my brother ? 'And he called 
 them the knd of || Cabul unto this day. 
 
 14 And Hiram sent to the king sixscore talents 
 arid. 
 
 15 ir And this is the reason of the levy whh'h kina 
 
 of 
 
Tne queen of Sheba admirclh the 
 
 Solomon raised; for to build the house of the LORD, 
 rind his own house, and 'Millo, and the wall of" Je- 
 rusalem, and "Hazor, and *Mcgiddo, and "Gezer. 
 
 16 For Pharaoh king 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 present unto his daughter, Solomon's wife. 
 
 17 And Solomon built Gezer, and c Beth-horon 
 the nether, 
 
 18 And ''Baalath, and Tadmor in the wilderness, 
 in the land, 
 
 19 And all the cities of store that Solomon had, 
 and cities for 'his chariots, and cities for his horse- 
 men, and f that which Solomon -/"desired to build in 
 Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of 
 his dominion. 
 
 20 8 And all the people that were left of the Amo- 
 rites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, 
 which ivere not of the children of Israel, 
 
 21 Their children h that were left after them in 
 the land, 'whom the children of Israel also were 
 not able utterly to destroy, *upon those did Solomon 
 levy a tribute of 'bond-service"unto this day. 
 
 22 But of the children of Israel did Solomon 
 "" make no bond-men : but they tvere men of war, and 
 his servants, and his princes, and his captains, and 
 rulers of his chariots, and his horsemen. 
 
 23 These were the chief of the officers that were 
 over Solomon's work, "five hundred and fifty, which 
 bare rule over the people that wrought in the work. 
 
 24 If But "Pharaoh's daughter came up out of 
 the city of David unto ''her house which Solomon 
 had built for her : q then did he build Millo. 
 
 25 If 'And three times in a year did Solomon 
 offer burnt-offerings and peace-offerings upon the 
 altar which he built unto the Lord, and he burnt 
 incense fupon the altar that was before the Lord. 
 So he finished the house. 
 
 26 If And 'king Solomon made a navy of ships 
 in ( Ezion-geber, which is beside Eloth, on the \ shore 
 of the Red sea, in the land of Edom. 
 
 27 "And Hiram sent in the navy his servants, 
 phipinen that had knowledge of the sea, with the 
 servants of Solomon. 
 
 28 And they came to * Ophir, and fetched from 
 thence gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and 
 brought it to king Solomon.

 The queen of Sheba admireth the wisdom of Solomon. 
 
 \ ND when the ° queen of Sheba heard of the fame 
 •L *- of Solomon concerning the name of the Lord, 
 she came Ho prove him with hard questions. 
 
 2 And she came to Jerusalem with a very great 
 train, with camels that bare spices, and very much 
 gold, and precious stones: and when she was come 
 to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was 
 in her heart. 
 
 3 And Solomon told her all her f questions: 
 there was not any thing hid from the king, which 
 he told her not. 
 
 4 And when the queen of Sheba had seen all Solo- 
 mon's wisdom, and tne house that he had built,

 and of thy wisdom. 
 
 7 Howbeit, I believed not the words, until 1 
 came, and mine eyes had scon it : and behold, the 
 half was not told me: fthy wisdom and prosperity 
 exceedeth the fame which I heard. 
 
 8 ''Happy are thy men, happy are these thy ser- 
 vants, which stand continually before thee, and that 
 hear thy wisdom. 
 
 9 'Blessed be the Lord thy God, which delitrhted 
 in thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel: because 
 the Lord loved Israel for ever, therefore made he 
 thee king, •''to do judgment and justice. 
 
 10 And she *gave the king an hundred and 
 twenty talents of gold, /md of spices very great 
 store, and precious stones: there came no more 
 such abundance of spices as these which the queen 
 
 Solomon, 
 the navy also of Hiram, that brought 
 gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir great plenty 
 of || almug-trees, and precious stones. 
 
 12 And the king made of the almug-trees HfpiLara 
 for the house of the Lord, and for the king's house, 
 harps also and psalteries for singers : there came no 
 suoh * almug-trees, nor were seen unto this day. 
 
 13 And king Solomon gave unto the queen of 
 Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, besides 
 that which Solomon gave her f of 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 Solo- 
 mon in one year was six hundred threescore and 
 six talents of gold, 
 
 15 Beside titat he had of the merchant-men, and 
 of the traffick of the spice-merchants, and 'of all the 
 kings of Arabia, and of the || governors of the country 
 
 16 If And king Solomon made two hundred tar 
 gets of beaten gold; six hundred shekels of gold 
 went to one target. 
 
 17 And he made '"three hundred shields of beaten 
 gold; three pounds of gold went to one shield : and the 
 king put them in the "house of the forest of Lebanon. 
 
 18 If "Moreover, 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 | behind : and there were f stays 
 on either side on the place of the seat, and two 
 lions stood beside the stays. 
 
 20 And twelve lions stood there on the one side 
 and on the other upon the six steps : there was not 
 f the like made in any kingdom. 
 
 21 If ''And all king Solomon's drinking vessels were 
 o/"gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest 
 of Lebanon were of pure gold ; || none tvere of silver : 
 it was nothing accounted of in the daj's 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, 
 II ivory, and apes, and peacocks. 
 
 23 So r king Solomon exceeded all the kings of 
 the earth for riches and for wisdom. 
 
 24 If And all the earth f sought to 
 
 Solomon, 
 
 to 
 
 hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart. 
 
 25 And they brought everymanhispresentyvesselsof 
 silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and armour, 
 and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year. 
 
 26 If'And Solomon 'gathered together chariots. 
 and horsemen: and he had a thousand and foui

-ynoinon s idoiatn/. 
 
 h.indred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, 
 whom he he.stowed in the cities for chariots, and 
 with the king at Jerusalem. 
 
 27 "And the king f made silver to be in Jerusalem 
 as stones, and cedars made he to be as the syca- 
 more-trees that are in the vale, for abundance. 
 
 28 If ^f And Solomon had horses brought out of 
 Egypt, and y linen yarn: the king's merchants re- 
 ceived the linen yarn at a price. 
 
 29 And a chariot came up and went out of Egypt 
 for six hundred shekels of silver, and an horse for 
 an hundred and fifty: x and so for all the kings of 
 the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, did they 
 bring them out f by their means.

 Solomon's acts, reign, and death 
 
 BUT "king Solomon loved *many strange women, 
 II together Avith the daughter of Pharaoh, wo- 
 men of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zido- 
 nians, and Hittites; 
 
 2 Of the nations concerning which the Lord said 
 unto the children of Israel, f Ye shall not go in to 
 them, neither shall they come in unto you: for 
 surely they will turn away your heart after their 
 gods : Solomon clave unto 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, 
 "that his wives turned away his heart after other 
 gods: and his e heart was not perfect with the Lord 
 his God, •''as was the heart of David his father. 
 
 5 For Solomon went after *Ashtoreth the god- 
 dess of the Zidonians, and after || Milcom the abomi- 
 nation of the Ammonites. 
 
 6 And Solomon did evil in the sight of the Lord, 
 and f went not fully after the Lord, as did David 
 his lather. 
 
 7 A Then did Solomon build an high place for 
 Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in *the hill 
 
 that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomi- 
 nation of the children of Ammon. 
 
 8 And likewise did he for all his strange wives, 
 whi'-h burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods. 
 
 9 IT And the Lord was angry with Solomon, be- 
 cause 'his heart was turned from the Lord God of 
 [graft i, ""which had appeared unto him twice, 
 
 ID And "had commanded him concerning this 
 thing, that he should not go after other gods : but 
 he kept not that which the Lord commanded. 
 
 11 Wherefore the Lord said unto Solomon, For- 
 asmuch as this fis done of thee, and thou hast not 
 kept my covenant and my statutes which I have 
 commanded thee, °I will surely rend the kingdom 
 from thee, and will give it to thy servant. 
 
 12 Notwithstanding, in thy days I will not do it 
 for David thy father s sake : but I will rend it out 
 vf the hand of thy son. 
 
 13 ^ Howbeit, I will not rend away all the king- 
 dim; but will give 'one tribe to thy son, for David 
 mv servant's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake r which 
 I ha« r e chosen. 
 
 14 11 And the Lord 'stirred up an adversary 
 unto 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 was gone up to bury 
 the slain, "after he had smitten every male in Edom

 His adversaries 
 
 16 (Fur 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 Edomites 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, unto Pharaoh king of 
 Egypt, which gave him an 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 to wife the sister of 
 his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen. 
 
 20 And the sister of Tahpenes bare him Genu- 
 bath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh's 
 house: and Genubath was in Pharaoh's household 
 among the ?ons of Pharaoh. 
 
 21 * And when Hadad heard in Egypt that David 
 slept with his fathers, and that Joab the captain of 
 the host was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, fLet 
 me depart, that I may go to mine own country. 
 
 22 Then Pharaoh said unto him, But what hast 
 thou lacked with me, that, behold, thou seekest tc 
 go to thine own country? And he answered, f No- 
 thing: howbeit, let me go in any wise. 
 
 23 IF And God stirred him up another adversary, 
 Rezon the son of Eliadah, which fled from his lord 
 y Hadadezer king of Zobah : 
 
 24 And he gathered men unto him, and became 
 captain over a band, *when David slew them 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, beside the mischief that Hadad did: 
 and he abhorred Israel, and reigned over Syria. 
 
 26 IF And "Jeroboam the son of Ncbat, an Ephra- 
 thite of Zereda, Solomon's servant, whose mother's 
 
 le tvas Zeruah, a widow woman, even he * lifted 
 up his hand against the king. 
 
 27 And this was the cause that he lifted up Ms 
 hand against the king : r Solomon built Millo, and f re 
 paired 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 
 fwas industrious, he made him ruler over all the 
 f charge of the house of Joseph. 
 
 29 And it came to pass at that time when Jero- 
 boam went out of Jerusalem, that the prophet rf Ahi- 
 
 ah 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 e rent it in twelve pieces : 
 
 31 And he said to Jeroboam, Take thee ten 
 pieces : for Ahus saith the Lord, 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 A ' Because that they have forsaken me, and 
 have worshipped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zi- 
 donians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and 
 Milcom the god of the children of Ammon, and 
 have not walked in my ways, to do that which is 
 right in mine eyes, and to keep my statutes and my 
 judgments, as did David his father. 
 
 34 Howbeit, I will not take the whole kingdom 
 
Solomon s leath and burial. 
 
 out of ,is hand ■ but 1 will make him prince all the 
 days of his lite for David my servant's sake, whom 
 I chose, because he kept my commandments and 
 my statutes : 
 
 35 But ''I will take the kingdom out of his son's 
 hand, and will give it unto thee, even ten tribes. 
 
 36 And unto his son will I give one tribe, that 
 David my servant may have a t light alway before 
 
 oie in Jerusalem, the city which J nave chosen me 
 to put my name there. 
 
 37 And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign 
 according to all that thy soul desireth, and shalt 
 be king over Israel. 
 
 38 And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken unto all 
 that I command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and 
 do that is right in my sight, to keep my statutes and 
 my commandments, as David my servant did; that 
 k I will be with thee, and 'build thee a sure house, as 
 I built for David, and will give Israel unto thee. 
 
 39 And I will for this afflict the seed of David, 
 out not for ever. 
 
 40 Solomon sought therefore to kill Jeroboam: 
 and Jeroboam arose, and fled into Egypt, unto 
 Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the 
 death of Solomon. 
 
 41 IT And '"the rest of the 11 acts of Solomon, and 
 all that he did, and his wisdom, are they not written 
 in the book of the acts of Solomon? 
 
 42 "And the ftime that Solomon reigned in Je- 
 rusalem over all Israel ivas forty years. 
 
 43 "And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was 
 Duried in the city of David his father: arid ''Reho- 
 boam. his son reigned in his stead. 
 
 CHAP. XII. 
 
 The Israelites assemble at Shechem to crown Rehoboam. 
 
 AND "Rehoboam went to Shechem: for all Israel 
 were come to Shechem to make him king. 
 
 2 And it came to pass, when ° Jeroboam the son 
 of Nebat, who was yet in c Egypt, heard of it, (for 
 he was fled from the presence of king Solomon, and 
 Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt;) 
 
 3 That th':y sent and called him. And Jero- 
 boam and ai the congregation of Israel came, and 
 spake unto Rehoboam, saying, 
 
 4 Thy father made our d 3 r oke grievous: now 
 therefore make thou the grievous service of thy 
 father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, 
 tighter, and we will serve thee. 
 
 5 And he said unto them, Depart yet for three days, 
 then come again to me. And the people departed. 
 
 6 1FAnd king Rehoboam consulted Avith the old 
 men that stood before Solomon his father while he 
 yet lived, and said, How do ye advise that I may 
 answer this people? 
 
 7 And they spake unto him, saying, e If thou wilt 
 "ie a servant unto this people this day, and wilt 
 6erve 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 consulted with the 
 young men that were grown up with him, and which 
 stood before him: 
 
 9 And he said unto 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 that were grown up with 
 him spake unto* him, saying, Thus shalt thou speak

 unto this people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy

 11 And now whereas my father did lade

 father hath chastised you with whips, but I

 12 IT So 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 f roughly, anu 
 forsook the old men's counsel that they gave him; 
 
 14 And spake to them after the counsel of the young 
 men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, and 
 I will add to } r our yoke : my father also chastised you 
 with Avhips, but I will chastise you with scorpions. 
 
 15 Wherefore the king hearkened not unto tin. 
 people: for J the cause was from the Lord, that 1m 
 might perform his saying, which the Lord* spake by 
 Ahijah the Shilonite unto Jeroboam the son of Nebat. 
 
 16 II So when all Israel saw that the kinsr heark- 
 ened not unto them, the people answered the king, 
 saying, ''What portion have we in David? neither 
 have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: to 3 r our 
 tents, O Israel : now see to thine own house, David 
 So Israel departed unto their tents. 
 
 17 But 'as for the children of Israel Avhich dAvelt in 
 the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them. 
 
 18 Then king Rehoboam *sent Adoram, Avho was 
 over the tribute ; and all Israel stoned him AA'ith stones, 
 that he died. Therefore king Rehoboam | made speed 
 to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem. 
 
 19 So 'Israel || rebelled against the house of 
 David unto this day. 
 
 20 And it came to pass Avhen all Israel heard that 
 Jeroboam Avas come again, that they sent and called 
 him unto the congregation, and made him kino- over 
 all Israel: there AA 7 as none that folloAved the house 
 of David, but the tribe of Judah m only. 
 
 21 II And when "Rehoboam Avas come to Jerusa- 
 lem, he assembled all the house of Judah, with the 
 tribe of Benjamin, an hundred and four score thou- 
 
 sand chosen men, 
 
 Avhich were 
 of Israel, to 
 
 warriors, to fight 
 bring* the kingdom 
 
 against the house ■ 
 
 again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon. 
 
 22 But "the word of God came unto Shemaiah 
 the man of God, saying, 
 
 23 Speak unto Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king 
 of Judah, and unto all the house of Judah and Ben- 
 jamin, and to the remnant of the people, saying, 
 
 24 Thus saith the Lord, Ye shall not go up, nor 
 fight against your brethren the children of Israel : 
 return every man to his house; ^for this thing is 
 from me. They hearkened therefore to the word 
 of the Lord, and returned to depart, according to 
 the Avord of the Lord. 
 
 25 TIThen Jeroboam 'built Shechem in mount 
 Ephraim, and dAvelt therein; and went out from 
 thence, and built r Penuel. 
 
 26 And Jeroboam said in his heart, Noav shall 
 the kingdom return to the house of DaA'id. 
 
 27 If this people 'go up to do sacrifice in the 
 house of the Lord at J erusalem, then shall the heart 
 of this people turn again unto their lord, even untc 
 Rehoboam king of Judah, and they shall kill me, 
 and go again to Rehoboam king of Judah. 
 
 28 Whereupon the king took counsel, and 'made 
 
Jeroboam's hand wilhcreih. 
 
 two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too 
 much for you to go up to Jerusalem : "behold thy 
 gods, Israel, which brought thee up out of the 
 land of Egypt. 
 
 29 And he set the one in * Beth-el, and the other 
 put he in y Dan. 
 
 30 And this thing became x a sin: for the people 
 went to worship before the one, even unto Dan. 
 
 31 And he made an "house of high places, 'and 
 made priests of the lowest of the people, which 
 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 unto 
 c the feast that is in Judah, and he || offered upon the 
 altar. So did he in Beth-el, || sacrificing unto 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 || offered upon the altar which he had made 
 in Beth-el the fifteenth day of the eighth month, even 
 in the month which he had "devised of his own heart; 
 and ordained a feast unto the children of Israel: 
 and he offered upon the altar, f and ■'burnt incense. 
 
 CHAP. XIII. 
 
 1 Jeroboam's hand withereth; 6 and, at the prayer of the prophet, is 
 
 restored. 
 
 AND behold, there came "a man of God out of 
 Judah by the word of the Lord unto Beth-el : 
 •and Jeroboam stood by the altar || to bum incense. 
 
 2 And he cried against the altar in the word of 
 the Lord, and said, altar, altar! thus saith the 
 Lord; Behold, a child shall be born unto the house 
 of David, c Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he 
 offer the priests of the high places that burn incense 
 upon thee, and men's bones shall be burnt upon thee. 
 
 3 And he gave d a sign the same day, saying, 
 This is the sign which the Lord hath spoken; Be- 
 hold, the altar shall be rent, and the ashes that are 
 upon it shall be poured out. 
 
 4 And it came to pass when king Jeroboam heard 
 the saying of the man of God, which 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 hini, dried up, 
 so that he could not pull it in again to J rim. 
 
 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 the Lord. 
 
 6 And the king answered and said unto the man 
 of God, 'Entreat now the face of the Lord thy God, 
 and piay for me, that my hand may be restored 
 me again. And the. man of God besought |the 
 Lord, and the king's hand was restored him again, 
 and became as it tvas before. 
 
 7 And the king said unto the man of God, Come 
 home with me, and refresh thyself, and f l will give 
 thee a reward. 
 
 8 And the man of God said unto the king, *If 
 thou wilt give me half thine house, I will not go in 
 with thee, neither will I eat bread nor drink water 
 in this place : 
 
 9 For so was it charged me by the word of the 
 Lord, saying, ''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. 
 
 1 1 IT Now there dwelt an old prophet in Beth-el ; 
 ami his fsons came and told him all the works that 
 the man of God had done that dav in Beth-el : the

 Tlie disobedient jyrophct slain 
 
 words which he had spoken untt the king, them 
 they told also to their father. 
 
 12 And their father said unto them, What way 
 went he ? for his sons had seen what way the man 
 of God went which came from Judah. 
 
 13 And he said unto his sons, Saddle me the ass. 
 So they saddled him the ass: and he rode thereon. 
 
 _ 14 And went after the man of God, and found 
 him sitting under an oak : and he said unto him, 
 Art thou the man of God that earnest from Judah ? 
 And he said, I am. 
 
 15 Then he said unto him, Come home with me, 
 and eat bread. 
 
 16 And he said, 'I may not return with thee, nor 
 go in with thee : neither will I eat bread nor drink 
 water with thee in this place : 
 
 17 For fit was said to me * by the word of the Lord, 
 Thou shaft eat no bread nor drink water there, nor 
 turn again to go by the way that thou earnest. 
 
 18 He said unto him, I am a prophet also as 
 thou art; and an angel spake unto me by the word 
 of the Lord, saying, Bring him back with thee into 
 thine house, that he may eat bread and drink 
 water. But he lied unto him. 
 
 19 So he went back with him, and did eat bread 
 in his house and drank water. 
 
 20 IT And it came to pass, as they sat. at the 
 table, that the word of the Lord came unto the 
 prophet that brought him back : 
 
 21 And he cried unto the man of God that came 
 from Judah, saying, Thus saith the Lord, Foras 
 much as thou hast disobeyed the mouth of the Lord, 
 and hast not kept the commandment which the 
 Lord thy God commanded thee, 
 
 22 But earnest back, and hast eaten bread and 
 drunk water in the place, 'of the which the LOUD 
 did say to thee, Eat no bread, and drink no water; 
 thy carcass shall not come unto the sepulchre of 
 thy fathers. 
 
 23 H And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, 
 and after he had drunk, that he saddled for him the 
 ass, to wit, 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 carcass. 
 
 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 that brought him back 
 from the way heard thereof, he said, It is the man- of 
 God who was disobedient unto the word of the Lord : 
 therefore the Lord hath delivered him unto the lion, 
 which hath ftorn him, and slain him, according to 
 the word of the Lord, which he spake unto him. 
 
 27 And he spake to his sons,, saying, Saddle me 
 the ass. And they saddled him. 
 
 28 And he went and found his carcass cast in 
 the way, and the ass and the lion standing by the 
 carcass: the Hon had not eaten the carcass, nor 
 ftorn 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, saying, "Alas, my brother' 
 
Jeroboam threatenea.

 Rehoboam & wicked reign 
 
 31 And it came to pass, after he ban buried him, 
 that he spake to his sons, saying, When I am dead, 
 then bury me in the sepulchre wherein the man of 
 God is buried; "lay my bones beside his bones: 
 
 32 'For the saying which he cried by the word of 
 the Lord against the altar in Beth-cl, and against 
 all the houses of the high places which are in the 
 cities of » Samaria, shall surely come to pass. 
 
 33 H r After this thing Jeroboam returned not 
 from his evil way, but fmade again of* the lowest 
 of the people priests of the high places : whosoever 
 would, he f consecrated him, and he became one 
 of the priests of the high places. 
 
 34 'And this thing became sin unto the house 
 of Jeroboam, even 'to cut it off, and to destroy it 
 from off the face of the earth. 
 
 CHAP XIV. 
 
 Jeroboam sendelh his wife to the prophet Ahijah at Shiloh. 
 
 AT that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam fell 
 sick. 
 
 2 And Jeroboam said to his wife, Arise, I pray 
 thee, and disguise thyself, that thou be not known 
 to be the wife of Jeroboam ; and get thee to Shiloh : 
 behold, there is Ahijah the prophet, which told me 
 that " I should be king over this people. 
 
 3 *And take fwith thee ten loaves, and || crack- 
 nels, and a || cruse of honey, and go to him : he 
 shall tell thee what shall become of the child. 
 
 4 And Jeroboam's wife did so, and arose, c and 
 went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. 
 But Ahijah could not see ; for his eyes f were set 
 by reason of his age. 
 
 5 II And the Lord said unto 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 
 unto her: for it shall be, when she cometh in, that 
 'die shall feign herself to be another woman. 
 
 G And it was so, 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 feign- 
 est thou thyself to be another? for I am sent to 
 thee with f heavy tidings. 
 
 7 Go, tell Jeroboam, thus saith the Lord God of 
 Israel, d Forasmuch as I exalted thee from among the 
 people, and made thee prince over my people Israel, 
 
 8 And e rent the kingdom away from the house 
 of David, and gave it thee : and yet thou hast not 
 been as my servant David, ^ who kept my command- 
 ments, and who followed me with all his heart, to 
 do that ordy which was right in mine eyes ; 
 
 9 But hast done evil above all that were before 
 thee : ? for ihou hast gone and made thee other gods, 
 and molten images, to provoke me to anger, 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 
 him that pisseth against the wall, 'and him that is 
 shut up and left in Israel, and will take away the 
 remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as a man taketh 
 away dung, till it be all gone. 
 
 11 m 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 the Lord hath spoken it. 
 
 12 Arise thou therefore, get thee 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 
 nim : for he only of Ji roboam shall come to the grave,

 because in him "there is found some good thing to- 
 ward the Lord God of Israel in the house of Jeroboam 
 
 14 'Moreover, the Lord shall raise him up a king 
 over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam 
 that day : but what ? even now. 
 
 15 lor the Lord shall smite Israel, as a reed is 
 shaken in the water, and he shall 'root up Israel out 
 of this r good land, which he gave to their fathers, and 
 shall scatter them 'bej'ond the river, 'because they 
 have made their groves, provoking the Lord to anger. 
 
 16 And he shall give Israel up because of the sins of 
 Jeroboam, "who did sin, and who made Israel to sin. 
 
 17 HAnd Jeroboam's wife arose, and departed, 
 and came to x Tirzah : and* 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 the Lord, which he 
 spake 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, behold, they are written 
 in the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel. 
 
 20 And the days which Jeroboam reigned were 
 two and twenty years : and he f slept with his 
 fathers; and Nadab his son reigned in his stead. 
 
 21 HAnd Rehoboam the son of Solomon reignev 
 in Judah. b Rehoboam was forty and one years ok 
 when he began to reign; and he reigned seventeen 
 years in Jerusalem, the city c which the Lord did 
 choose out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his 
 name there: ''and his mother's name was Naamah 
 an Ammonitess. 
 
 22 e And Judah did evil in the sight of the Lord 
 and they -/"provoked him to jealousy with their sina 
 which they had committed, above all that their 
 fathers had done. 
 
 23 For they also built them ^high places, ana 
 II images A 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 which the Lord cast out before the 
 children of Israel. 
 
 25 H'And it came to pass 
 king Rehoboam, that Shishak 
 up against Jerusalem : 
 
 26 "'And he tookaAvay the treasures of the hou&« 
 of the Lord, and the treasures of the king's house; 
 he even took away all : and he took away all the 
 shields of gold "which Solomon had made. 
 
 27 And king Rehoboam made in their stead brazen 
 shields, and committed them unto the hands of the chief 
 of the f guard, which kept the doorofthe king's house 
 
 28 And it was so, when the king went into thf 
 house of the Lord, that the guard bare them, and 
 brought them back into the guard-chamber. 
 
 29 H°Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and 
 all that he did, are they not written in the book 
 of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah ? 
 
 30 And there was /; war between Rehoboam and 
 Jeroboam all their days. 
 
 31 ? And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was 
 buried with his fathers in the city of David. 'And 
 his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess 
 And 'Abijam his son reigned in his ste^d.

 NOW a in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam 
 the son of Nebat reigned Abijam over Judab. 
 
 243 
 
 in 
 
 the fifth year of 
 king of Egypt came 
 
Asa's gocd reign. 
 
 2 Throe years reigned he in Jerusalem. "And 
 his mother's name was c Maachah, the daughter of 
 'Abishalom. 
 
 3 A.nd he walked in all the sins of his father, 
 which he had done before him : and .'his heart was 
 not perfect with the Lord his God, as the heart of 
 David his father. 
 
 4 Nevertheless, •'"for David's sake did the Lord 
 his God give him a || lamp in Jerusalem, to set up 
 his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem : 
 
 5 Because David £ did that which was right in the 
 eyes of the Lord, and turned not aside from any 
 thing that he commanded him all the days of his 
 life, A save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite. 
 
 6 'And there was war between Rehoboam and 
 Jeroboam all the days of his life. 
 
 7 *Now the rest of the acts of Abijam, and all 
 that he did, are they not written in the book of 
 the Chronicles of the kings of Judah? And there 
 was war between Abijam and Jeroboam. 
 
 8 'And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they 
 buried him in the city of David : and Asa his son 
 reigned m his stead. 
 
 9 II And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king 
 of Israel reigned Asa over Judah. 
 
 10 And forty and one years reigned he in Jeru- 
 salem. And his || mother's name was Maachah, the 
 daughter of Abishalom. 
 
 11 m And Asa did that which was right in the 
 eyes of the Lord, 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 f destroyed her idol, 
 and ^ burnt it by the brook Kidron. 
 
 14 ? But the high places were not removed: 
 nevertheless Asa's 'heart was perfect with the Lord 
 all his days. 
 
 15 And he brought in the f things which his 
 father had dedicated, and the things which himself 
 nad dedicated, into the house of the Lord, 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 'Raman, "that he might not suffer 
 any to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah. 
 
 18 Then Asa took all the silver anc the gold 
 that tvere left in the treasures of the house of the 
 Lord, and the treasures of the king's house, and 
 delivered them into the hand of his servants : and 
 king Asa sent them to x Ben-badad, the son of 
 Tabrimon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, that 
 dwelt at y Damascus, saying, 
 
 19 There is a league between me and thee, and 
 between my father and thy father : behold, I have 
 sent unto thee a present of silver and gold ; come 
 and break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, 
 that he may \ depart from me. 
 
 20 So Ben-hadad hearkened unto king Asa, and 
 sent the captains of the hosts which he had against 
 the cities of Israel, and smote *Ijon, and a Dan, and 
 'Abel-beth-maachah, and all Cinneroth, with all the 
 land of Naphtali. 
 
 21 And it came to pass, when Baasha heard 
 thereof, that he left off building of Ramah, and 
 dwelt in Tirzah.

 built, are they not written in the book of the Chro- 
 nicles of the kings of Judah ? Nevertheless -/'in the 
 time of his old age he Avas diseased in his feet. 
 
 24 And Asa slept with his fathers, and was bu- 
 ried with his fathers in the city of David his father 
 *'and '' Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead. 
 
 25 II And Nadab the son of Jeroboam f began to 
 reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king oi 
 Judah, and reigned over Israel two years. 
 
 26 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, and 
 walked in the way of his father, and in 'his sin 
 wherewith he made Israel to sin. 
 
 27 H* And Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house 
 of Issachar, conspired against him ; and Baasha smote 
 him at at ' Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines ; 
 for Nadab and all Israel laid siege to Gibbethon. 
 
 28 Even in the third year of Asa king of Judab 
 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 unto '"the saying of the Lord, which 
 he spake by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite : 
 
 30 "Because of the sins of Jeroboam which he 
 sinned, and which he made Israel sin, by his pro- 
 vocation wherewith he provoked the Lord God of 
 Israel to anger. 
 
 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 Avar betAveen 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 the Lord, and 
 walked in Hhe Avay of Jeroboam, and in his sin 
 AvhereAvith he made Israel to sin.

 THEN the word of the Lord came to "Jehu the 
 son of Hanani against Baasha, saying, 
 
 2 * Forasmuch as I exalted thee out of the dust, 
 and made thee prince over my people Israel, and 
 c thou hast Avalked in the Avay of Jeroboam, and hnst 
 made my people Israel to sin, to provoke me to 
 anger Avith their sins ; 
 
 3 Behold, I will ''take aAvay the posterity of Baasha,

 4 •''Him that dieth of Baasha in the city shall

 5 Noav the rest of the acts of Baasha, and Avhat 
 he did, and his might, s are they not Avritten in the 
 book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel ? 
 
 6 So Baasha slept with his fathers, and Avas buried 
 in ''Tirzah: and Elah his son reigned in his stead. 
 
 7 And also by the hand of the prophet 'Jehu the

 that he did in the sight of the Lord, in provoking him 
 to anger with the work of his hands, in being like 
 the house of Jeroboam; and because *he killed him. 
 
 8 If In the twenty and sixth year of Asa king 
 of Judah began Elah the son of Baasha to reign 
 over Israel in Tirzah, two years. 
 
 9 'And his servant Zimri, captain of hall' Ms cha- 
 *iots, conspired against him, as he was in Tirzah, 
 drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, fstew- 
 ard of 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. 
 
 11 IF 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 "'not one that 
 pissetlr against a wall, || neither of his kinsfolks, 
 nor of his friends. 
 
 12 Thus did Zimri destroy all the house of Baa- 
 sha, "according to the word of the Lord, which he 
 spake against Baasha f°by Jehu the prophet, 
 
 13 For all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of 
 Elah his son, by which they sinned, and by which 
 they made Israel to sin, in provoking the Lord God 
 of Israel to anger 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 lln the twenty and seventh year of Asa king 
 of Judah did Zimri reign seven days in Tirzah. 
 And the people ivere encamped 'against Gibbethon, 
 which belonged to the Philistines. 
 
 16 And the people that ivere encamped heard say, 
 Zimri hath conspired, and hath also slain the king : 
 wherefore all Israel made Omri, the captain of the 
 host, king over Israel that clay 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 palace 
 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 Hie Lord/ in walking in the way ot Jeroboam, 
 and in his sin which he did, to make Israel to sin. 
 
 20 Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his 
 treason that he wrought, are they not written in 
 the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel ? 
 
 2A H Then were the people of Israel divided into 
 two parts : half of the people followed Tibni the son 
 of Guiath, to make him king; and half followed Omri. 
 
 %% But the people that followed Omri prevailed 
 against the people that followed Tibni the son of 
 G'Aath: so Tibni died, and Omri reigned. 
 
 2o "Tin the thirty and first year of Asa king of 
 J idah began Omri to reign over Israel, twelve 
 y ears : six years reigned he in Tirzah. 
 
 24 And he bought the hill Samaria of Shemer for 
 two talents of silver, and built on the hill, and called 
 the name of the city which he built, after the name 
 of Shemer, owner of the hill, f* Samaria. . 
 
 25 IT But 'Omri wrought evil in the eyes of the 
 Lord, and did worse than all that ivere before him. 
 
 26 For he "walked in all the way of Jeroboam 
 the son of Nebat, and in his sin wherewith he made 
 Israel to sin, to provoke the Lord God of Israel to 
 anger with their * vanities.

 28 So Omri slept with his fathers, and wa.s buried

 29 IT And in the thirty and eighth year of Am 
 king of Judah began Ahab the son of Omri to reign 
 over Israel: and Ahab the son of Omri reigned 
 over Israel in Samaria twenty and two years. 
 
 30 And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in (lie 
 sight of the Lord above all that were before him. 
 
 31 And it came to pass, fas if it had been a light: 
 thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son 
 of Nebat, y that he took to wife Jezebel the daughter 
 of Ethbaal king of the *Zidonians, "and went ami 
 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 c And Ahab made a grove; and Ahab ''did 
 more to provoke the Lord God of Israel to anger 
 than all the kings of Israel that were before him. 
 
 34 IT In his days did Iliel the Beth-elite build Je- 
 richo: he laid the foundation thereof in Abiram his 
 first-born, and set up the gates thereof in his young- 
 est son Segub, e according to the word of the Lord, 
 which he spake by Joshua the son of Nun.

 1 Elijah is fed by ravens. 1 7 He raiselh the widow's son. 
 
 AND f Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the in- 
 habitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, "As the 
 Lord God of Israel liveth, b before whom I stand, 
 'there shall not be dew nor rain ''these years, but 
 according to my word. 
 
 2 And the word of the Lord came unto him, saying, 
 
 3 Get thee hence, and turn thee 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 unto the word 
 of the Lord: 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 fafter a while, that the brook 
 dried up, because there had been no rain in the land. 
 
 8 HAnd the word of the Lord came unto him, 
 saying, _ 
 
 9 Arise, get thee to 'Zarephath, which bclongeth 
 to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have com- 
 manded 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 of sticks : and he 
 called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a 
 little water in a vessel, that I may drink. 
 
 11 And as she was going to fetch it, he called to 
 her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of 
 bread in thine hand. 
 
 12 And she said, As the Lord thy God liveth, 1 
 have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, 
 and a little oil in a cruse: and behold, I am gather- 
 ing two sticks, that I ma}' go in and dress it for me 
 and my son, that we may eat it, and die. 
 
 13 And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and 
 do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little 
 cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for 
 thee and for thy son. 
 
Elyah raiseth the widow's son. 
 
 14 For thus saith the Lord God of Israel, The 
 barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the 
 cruse of oil fail, until the day that the Lord f sendeth 
 rain upon the earth. 
 
 15 And she went and did according to the say- 
 ing of Elijah : and she, and he, and her house, did 
 eat || many days. 
 
 16 And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither 
 did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of 
 the Lord, which he spake f by Elijah. 
 
 17 IT And it came to pass after these things, that 
 the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, 
 fell sick; and his sickness was so sore, that there 
 was no breath left in him. 
 
 18 And she said unto Elijah, -/"What have I to do 
 with thee, thou man of God ? art thou come unto me 
 to call my sin to remembrance, and to slay my son ? 
 
 19 And he said unto her, Give me thy son. And he 
 took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into a 
 loft, where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed. 
 
 20 And he cried unto the Lord, and said, Lord 
 my God, hast thou also brought evil upon the widow 
 with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son ? 
 
 21 *And he f stretched himself upon the child 
 three times, and cried unto the Lord, and said, 
 Lord my God, I pray thee, let this child's soul 
 come f into him again. 
 
 22 And the Lord heard the voice of Elijah ; and the 
 soul of the child came into him again, and he h revived. 
 
 23 And Elijah took the child, and brought him 
 down out of the chamber into the house, and deli- 
 vered him unto his mother: and Elijah said, See, 
 thy son liveth. 
 
 24 IT And the woman said to Elijah, Now by 
 this 'I know that thou art a man of God, and that 
 the word of the Lord in thy mouth is truth. 
 
 CHAP. XVIII. 
 
 Elijah, by prayer obtaining rain, follow eih Ahab to Jezreel. 
 
 AND it came to pass after a many days, that the 
 word of the Lord came to Elijah in the third 
 year, saying, Go, shew thyself unto Ahab; and b I 
 will send rain upon the earth. 
 
 2 And Elijah went to shew himself unto Ahab. 
 And there tvas a sore famine in Samaria. 
 
 3 And Ahab called fObadiah, which ivas fthe 
 governor of his house. (Now Obadiah feared the 
 Lord greatly: 
 
 4 For it was so, when f Jezebel cut off the pro- 
 phets of the Lord, that Obadiah took an hundred 
 prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed 
 them with bread and water.) 
 
 5 And Ahab said unto Obadiah, Go into the land 
 unto all fountains of water, and unto all brooks : 
 peradventure we may find grass to save the horses 
 and mules alive, fthat we lose not all the beasts. 
 
 G So they divided the land between them to pass 
 throughout it : Ahab went one way by himself, and 
 Obadiah went another way by himself. 
 
 7 II And as Obadiah was in the way, behold, 
 Elijah met him : and he knew him, and fell on his 
 face, and said, Art thou that 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 the Lord thy God liveth, there is no na- 
 tion or kingdom whither my lord hath not sent to

 11 And now thou say est, Go, tell thy lord, Be-

 12 And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am gune 
 from thee, that c the Spirit of the Lord shall carry 
 thee whither I know not; and so when I come and 
 tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he shall slay me : 
 but I thy servant fear the Lord from my youth. 
 
 13 Was it not told my lord what I did when 
 Jezebel sleAv the prophets of the Lord, how I hid 
 an hundred men of the Lord's prophets by fifty in 
 a cave, and fed them with bread and water? 
 
 14 And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Be- 
 hold, Elijah is here; and he shall slay me. 
 
 15 And Elijah said, As the Lord of hosts liveth, 
 before whom I stand, I will surely shew myself 
 unto hijn to-day. 
 
 16 So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told 
 him: and Ahab went to meet Elijah. 
 
 17 IF And it came to pass when Ahab saw Elijah, 
 that Ahab said unto him, d Art thou he that e troub'letb 
 Israel ? 
 
 18 And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; 
 but thou, and thy father's house, ■''in that ye have 
 forsaken the commandments of the Lord, and thou 
 hast followed Baalim. 
 
 19 Now therefore send, ant? gather to me all Israel 
 unto mount ff Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four 
 hundred and fifty, A and the prophets of the groves 
 four hundred, which eat at Jezebel's table. 
 
 20 So Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and 
 'gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel. 
 
 21 And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, 
 *How long halt ye between two || opinions? if tho 
 Lord be God, follow him: but if 'Baal, then follow 
 him. And the people answered him not a word. 
 
 22 Then said Elijah unto the people, m I, even I 
 only, remain a prophet of the Lord; "but Baal's 
 prophets are four hundred and fifty men. 
 
 23 Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and 
 let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut 
 it in pieces, and lay ii on wood, and put no fire 
 under: and I will dress the other bullock, and lay 
 it on wood, and put no fire tinder: 
 
 24 And call ye on the name of your gods, and 1 
 will call on the name of the Lord: and the God 
 that "answereth by fire, let him be God. And all 
 the people answered and said, fit is well spoken. 
 
 25 And Elijah said unto the prophets of Baal, 
 Choose you 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, || hear us. But there was ^no voice, nor any 
 that || answered. And they || leaped upon the altar 
 which was made. 
 
 27 And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked 
 them, and said, Cry fa-loud : for he is a god : either ||ho 
 is talking, or he f is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or 
 peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked. 
 
 28 And they cried aloud, and 'cut themseh es 
 after their manner with knives and lancets, till 
 f the blood gushed out upon them. 
 
 29 And it came to pass, when mid-day was past. 
 
Qor 
 
 30 And Elijah said unto all the people, 
 near unto me. ' And all the people came near 
 
 Baal's prophets slain. 
 
 and they prophesied until the time of the f offering 
 nf the evening sacrifice, that there was 'neither voice, 
 any to answer, nor any t that regarded. 
 
 the people, Come 
 unto 
 him. 'And he repaired the altar of the Lord that 
 was broken down. 
 
 31 And Elijah took twelve stones, according to 
 the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto 
 whom the word of the Lord came, saying, "Israel 
 shall be thy name : 
 
 32 And with the stones he built an altar *in tha 
 name of the Lord : and he made a trench about the 
 altar, as great as would contain two measures of seed. 
 
 33 And he y put the wood in order, and cut the 
 bullock in pieces, and laid him on the wood, and 
 said, Fill four barrels with water, and z 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 t'/an round about the altar; 
 and he filled ° the trench also with water. 
 
 36 And it came to pass at the time of the offering 
 of the evening sacrif.c, that Elijah the prophet came 
 near and said. Lord *God of Abraham, Isaac, and 
 of Israel. c let it be known this day that thou art 
 God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that 
 d \ have done all these things at thy word. 
 
 37 Hear me, Lord, hear me, that this people 
 may know that thou art the Lord God, and that 
 thou hast turned their heart back again. 
 
 38 Then 'the fire of the Lord 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, •'The Lord, he is the 
 God; the Lord, he is the God. 
 
 40 And Elijah said unto them, ||*Take the pro- 
 phets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And 
 they took them; and Elijah brought them down to

 41 II And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat 
 and drink ; for there is || a sound of abundance of rain. 
 
 42 So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And 
 Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; 'and he cast 
 himself down upon the earth, and put his face be- 
 tween his knees, 
 
 43 And said to his servant, Go up now, look to- 
 ward 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 out of 
 the sea like a man's hand. And he said, Go up, 
 say unto Ahab, t Prepare thy chariot, and get thee 
 down, that the rain stop thee not. 
 
 45 And it came to pass in the mean while, that 
 the heaven was black with clouds and wind, and 
 there w r as a great rain. And Ahab rode, and w r ent

 Elijah corn/orled by an awj< I 
 
 2 Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah, 
 saying, 'So let the gods do lo 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 belonyclh to 
 Judah, and left his servant there. 
 
 4 ^[But he himself went a day's journey into the 
 wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper- 
 tree: and he 'requested f for himself that he might 
 die: and said, It is enough; now, Lord, 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 unto 
 him, Arise and eat. 
 
 6 And he looked, and behold, there was a cake 
 baken on the coals, and a cruse of water at his f head : 
 and he did eat and drink, and laid him down again. 
 
 7 And the angel of the Lord 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 
 n the strength of that meat ''forty days and forty 
 nights unto e IIoreb the mount of God. 
 
 9 *f And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged 
 there; and behold, the word of the Lord came to him, 
 and he said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah? 
 
 10 And he said, f I have been very "jealous for the 
 Lord God of hosts: for the children of Israel have 
 forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and 
 
 slain thy prophets with the sword; and 'I, even I 
 only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away. 
 
 1 1 And he said, Go forth, and stand ' upon the mount 
 before the Lord. And behold, the Lord passed by, 
 and 'a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and 
 brake in pieces the rocks before the Lord; but the 
 Lord was not in the wind: and after the wind an 
 earthquake; bat the Lord was not in the earthquake: 
 
 12 And after the earthquake a fire; bat the Lord 
 was not in the fire : and after the fire a still small voice. 
 
 13 And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that m he 
 wrapped his face in his mantle, and went cut, and 
 stood in the entering in of the cave. "And behold, 
 there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest 
 thou here, Elijah? 
 
 14 "And he said, I have been very jealous for the 
 Lord God of hosts : because the children of Israel 
 have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, 
 and slain thy prophets with the sword ; and I, even 
 I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away. 
 
 15 And the Lord said unto him, Go, return on 
 thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: ''and when 
 thou comest, anoint Hazael to be king over Syria: 
 
 16 And ? Jehu the son of Nimshi shaft thou 
 anoint to be king over Israel : and '' Elisha the son 
 of Shaphat of Abel-meholah shalt thou anoint to be 
 prophet in thy room. 
 
 17 And s it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth 
 the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and him that 
 escapeth from the sword of Jehu 'shall Elisha slay 
 
 18 "Yet || I have left me seven thousand in Israel, 
 all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, x and 
 every mouth which hath not kissed him. 
 
 19 IT So he departed thence, and found Elisha the 
 son of Shaphat, who tens ploughing with twelve yoke of 
 oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Eli- 
 jah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him. 
 
 20 And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and 
 
 247 
 
Ben-hadad besiegeth Samaria. 
 
 said, "Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my 
 mother, and then 1 will follow thee. And he said unto 
 him, f Go back again: for what have I done to thee? 
 21 And he returned back from him, and took a 
 yoke of oxen, and slew them, and T boiled their flesh 
 with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the 
 people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went 
 after Elijah, and ministered unto him.

 By the direction of the prophet the Syrians are slain. 
 
 AND Ben-hadad the king of Syria gathered all 
 his host together : and there zvcre thirty and two 
 kings with him, and horses, and 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 unto nim, Thus saith Ben-hadad, 
 
 3 Thy silver and thy gold is mine ; thy wives also 
 and thy children, even the goodliest, are mine. 
 
 4 And the king of Israel answered and said, My 
 lord, 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 
 unto thee, saying, Thou shalt deliver me thy silver, 
 and thy gold, and thy wives, and thy children; 
 
 6 Yet I will send my servants unto thee to-mor- 
 row about this time, and they shall search thine 
 house, and the houses of thy servants; and it shall 
 be, that whatsoever is f pleasant in thine eyes, they 
 shall put it in their hand, and take it away. 
 
 7 Then the king of Israel called all the elders of 
 the land, and said, Mark, I pray you, and see how 
 this man seeketh mischief: for he sent unto me for 
 my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, 
 and for my gold, and f I denied him not. 
 
 8 And all the elders and all the people said unto 
 him, Hearken not unto Mm, nor consent. 
 
 9 Wherefore he said unto the messengers of Ben- 
 hadad, Tell my lord the king, All that thou didst 
 send for to thy servant at the first, I will do : but 
 this thing I may not do. And the messengers de- 
 parted, and brought him word again. 
 
 10 And Ben-hadad sent unto him, and said, " The 
 gods do so unto me, and more also, if the dust of 
 Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people 
 tiiat f follow me. 
 
 11 And the king of Israel answered and said, 
 Tell him, Let not him that girdeth on his harness 
 boast himself as he that putteth it off. 
 
 12 And it came to pass, when Ben-hadad heard 
 this f message as he was * drinking, he and the kings 
 in the || pavilions, that he said unto his servants, 
 II Set yourselves in array. And they set themselves 
 in array against the city. 
 
 13 If And behold, there fcame a prophet unto 
 Ahab king of Israel, saying, Thus saith the Lord, 
 Hast thou seen all this great multitude? behold, C I 
 will deliver it into thine hand this day; and thou 
 shaft know that I am the Lord. 
 
 14 And Ahab said, By whom? And he said, 
 Tims saith the Lord, Even by the || } r oung men of 
 the princes of the provinces. Then he said, Who 
 shall f order 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 thir- 
 ty-two : and after them he numbered all the people, 
 :ven all the children of Israel, being seven thousand. 
 
 16 And they went out at noon. But Ben-hadad

 tvas ^drinking himself drunk in the pavilions, 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 be come out for 
 peace, take them alive; or whether they be come 
 out for war, take them alive. 
 
 19 So these young men of the princes of the 
 provinces came out of the city, and the army which 
 ibllowed them. 
 
 20 And they slew every one his man : and the 
 Syrians fled; and Israel pursued them: and Ben- 
 hadad the king of Syria escaped on an 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 II And the prophet came to the king of Israel, 
 and said unto him, Go, strengthen thyself, and mark, 
 and see what thou doest: e 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 unto 
 him, Their gods are gods of the hills ; therefore they 
 were stronger than we ; but let us fight against them 
 in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they 
 
 24 And do this thing, Take the kings away, everv 
 man out of his place, and put captains in their rooms : 
 
 25 And number thee an army, like the army -{-that 
 thou hast lost, horse for horse, and chariot for cha- 
 riot: and we will fight against them in the plain 
 and surely we shall be stronger than they. And 
 he hearkened unto their voice, and did so. 
 
 26 And it came to pass at the return of the yeai, 
 that Ben-hadad numbered the Syrians, and went up 
 to -^Aphek, f to fight against Israel. 
 
 27 And the chddren of Israel were numbered, and 
 II were all present, 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 IT And there came a man of God, and spake 
 unto the king of Israel, and said, Thus saith the 
 Lord, Because the Syrians have said, The Lord is 
 God of the hills, but he is not God of the valleys, 
 therefore *will I deliver all this great multitude into 
 thine hand, and ye shall know that I am the Lord. 
 
 29 And they pitched one over against the other 
 seven days. And so it was, that in the seventh 
 day the battle was joined : and the children of 
 Israel slew of the Sjaians an hundred thousand 
 footmen in one day. 
 
 30 But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city ; and 
 there a wall fell upon twenty and seven thousand of 
 the men that were left. And Ben-hadad fled, and 
 came into the city, || finto an inner chamber. 
 
 31 If And his servants said unto him, Behold now, 
 we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel 
 are merciful kings : let us, I pray thee, ''put sackcloth 
 on our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and go out to 
 the king of Israel : peradventure 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, ] 
 pray thee, let me live. And he said, Is he yet 
 alive? he is my brother. 
 
 33 Now the men did diligently observe whethej 
 any thing would cvne from him, and did hastily catch 
 

 A hub's foolish pity reproved 
 
 it: and they ssiid, 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. 
 
 3-1 And Ben-hadad said unto him, 'The cities, 
 which my father took from thy father, I wiif restore; 
 and thou shalt make streets for thee 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 IF And a certain man of *the sons of the pro- 
 phets said unto his neighbour 'in the word of the 
 Lord, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man re- 
 fused to smite him. 
 
 30 Then said he unto him, Because thou hast 
 not obeyed the voice of the Lord, behold, as soon 
 as thou art departed from me, a lion shall slay 
 thee. And as soon as he was departed from him, 
 "'a lion found him, and slew him. 
 
 37 Then he found another man, and said, Smite 
 me, I pray thee. And the man smote him, fso 
 that in smiting he wounded him. 
 
 38 So the prophet departed, and waited for the 
 king by the way, and disguised himself with ashes 
 jpon his face. 
 
 39 And "as the king passed by, he cried unto 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 unto 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 f pay a talent of silver. 
 
 40 And as thy servant was busy here and there, 
 f he was gone. And the king of Israel said unto him, 
 So shall thy judgment be; thyself hast decided it. 
 
 41 And he hasted, and took the ashes away 
 from his face; and the king of Israel discerned him 
 that he ivas of the prophets. 
 
 42 And he said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, 
 • Because thou hast let go out of thy hand a man whom 
 1 appointed to utter destruction, therefore thy life 
 shall go for his life, and thy people for his people. 
 
 43 And the king of Israel ''went to his house 
 heavy and displeased, and came to Samaria.

 \ ND it came to pass after these things, that Na- 
 --^- both the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in 
 Juzreel, hard by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria. 
 
 2 And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, Give me 
 thy "vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of 
 herbs, because it is near unto my house : and 1 will give 
 thee for it a better vineyard than it ; or if it fseem good 
 lo thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money. 
 
 3 And Naboth said to Ahab, The Lord forbid it 
 me, * that I should give the inheritance of my fathers 
 unto thee. • 
 
 4 And Ahab came into his house heavy and dis- 
 pleased, because of the word which Naboth the 
 Jezreelite had spoken to him: for he had said, I 
 will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. 
 And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned 
 away his face, and would eat no bread. 
 
 5 IT But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said, 
 unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest 
 no bread? 
 
 6 And he said unto her, Because I spake unto 
 Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me 
 thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee,

 Naboth unjustly stoned 
 
 I will give thee another vineyard for it: and he 
 answered, I will not give thee iny vineyard. 
 
 7 And Jezebel his wife said unto him, Dost thou 
 now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat 
 bread, and let thine heart be merry: I will give 
 thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreeliie. 
 
 8 So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and 
 scaled them with his seal, and sent the letters unto 
 the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, 
 dwelling with Naboth. 
 
 9 And she w T rote in the letters, saying, Proclaim 
 a fast, and set Naboth fon high among the people: 
 
 10 And set two men, sons of Beh'al, before him, 
 to bear witness against him, saying, Thou didst 
 c blaspheme God and the king. And then cany hitu 
 out and ''stone him, that he may die. 
 
 11 And the men of his city, even the elders and 
 the nobles who were the inhabitants in his city, did 
 as Jezebel had sent unto them, and as it was written 
 in the letters which she had sent unto them. 
 
 12 e They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on 
 high among the people. 
 
 13 And there came in two men, children of Belial, 
 and sat before him : and the men of Belial witnessed 
 against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of 
 the people, saying, Naboth did blaspheme God and 
 the king. ^Then they carried him forth out of the 
 city, and stoned him with stones, that he died. 
 
 14 Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth i9 
 stoned, and is dead. 
 
 15 IT And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that 
 Naboth w T as 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 7\hab 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 11^ And the word of the Lord came to Elijah 
 the Tishbite, saying, 
 
 18 Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, 
 h which is in Samaria : behold, he is in the vineyard 
 of Naboth, whither he is gone down to possess it. 
 
 19 And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus 
 saith the Lord, Hast thou killed, and also taken 
 possession? And thou shalt speak unto him, say- 
 ing, Thus saith the Lord, 'In the place where aog& 
 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 answered, I have 
 found thee: because 'thou hast sold tlyself to work 
 evil in the sight of the Lord. 
 
 21 Behold, m I will bring evil upon thee, and will 
 take away thy posterity, and will cut off from Ahab 
 "him that pisseth against the wall, and "him that is 
 shut up and left in Israel, 
 
 22 And will make thine house like the house of 
 '' Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of 
 ?Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the provocatior. 
 wherewith thou hast provoked me to anger, ami 
 made Israel to sin. 
 
 23 And r of Jezebel also spake the Lord, saying. 
 The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the || wall of Jezreel. 
 
 24 'Him that dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs 
 shall eat: and him that dieth in the field shall tin 
 fowls of the air eat.

A luib seduced hfj false prophets. 
 
 25 ITBut 'there was none like unto Ahab, wldoh 
 'id sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of 
 the Lord, "whom Jezebel his wife || stirred up. 
 
 2G And he did very abominably in following idols, 
 according to all things ""as did the Amorites, whom 
 Ihe Loan cast out before the children of Israel. 
 
 27 And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those 
 words, that he rent his clothes, and y put sackcloth 
 upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and 
 went softly. 
 
 _ 28 And the word of the Lord came to Elijah the 
 Tishbite, saying, 
 
 29 Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before 
 me? because he humbleth himself before me, I will 
 not bring the evil in his days : but *in his son's days 
 will I bring the evil upon his house. 
 
 CHAP. XXII. 
 
 Ahab, seduced by false prophets, is slain at Rarwth-gilead. 
 
 AND they continued three years without war 
 between Syria and Israel. 
 
 2 And it came to pass in the third year, that 
 "Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the 
 king of Israel. 
 
 3 And the king of Israel said unto his servants, 
 Know ye that'Ramoth in Gilead is ours, and we 
 be f still, and take it not out of the hand of the king 
 of Syria? 
 
 4 And he said unto Jehoshaphat, "Wilt thou go 
 with me to battle to Ramoth-gilead? And Jehosha- 
 phat said to the king of Israel, C I am as thou art, my 
 people as thy people, my horses as thy horses. 
 
 5 And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, 
 Inquire, I pray thee, at the word of the Lord to-day. 
 
 6 Then the king of Israel ''gathered the prophets 
 together, about four hundred men, and said unto 
 them, Shall I go against Ramoth-gilead to battle, or 
 shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for the 
 Lord shall deliver it into the hand of the king. 
 
 7 And e Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a 
 prophet of the Lord besides, that we might inquire 
 ■)f him? 
 
 8 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, 
 Tlicre is yet one man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by 
 whom we may inquire of the Lord: but I hate 
 nim : for he doth not prophesy good concerning me, 
 but evil. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king 
 say so. 
 
 9 Then the king of Israel called an || officer, and 
 Raid Hasten hither Micaiah the son of Imlah. 
 
 10 And the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat the 
 king of Judah, sat each on his throne, having put 
 on their robes, in a fvoid 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 
 him horns of iron : and he said, Thus saith the 
 Lord, With these shalt thou push the Syrians, until 
 thou have consumed them. 
 
 12 And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, 
 Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and prosper: for the Lord 
 shall deliver it into the king's hand. 
 
 13 And the messenger that w T as gone to call Mi- 
 caiah spake unto him, saying, Behold now, the words 
 of the prophets declare good unto the king w.ith one 
 mouth: l<ut thy word, I pray thee, be like the word 
 of one of them, and speak that which is good. 
 
 14 And Micaiah said, As the Lord hveth, Avhat

 Micaiah s prophecy 
 
 And the king sair 
 go against Rainotb 
 
 15 II So ne came to the 
 unto him, Micaiah, shall we , 
 gilead to battle, or shall we forbear? And he an- 
 swered him, Go, and prosper: for the Lord shall 
 deliver it into the hand of the king. 
 
 16 And the king said unto him, How many times 
 shall I adjure thee that thou tell me nothing but 
 that which is true in the name of the Lord? 
 
 17 And he said, I saw all Israel e scattered upon 
 the hills, as sheep that have not a shepherd: and 
 the Lord said, These have no master; let them 
 return every man to his house in peace. 
 
 18 And the king of Israel said unto Jehosha.- 
 phat, Did I not tell thee that he would prophesy 
 no good concerning me, but evil? 
 
 19 And he paid, Hear thou therefore the w r ord of 
 the Lord: A I saw the Lord sitting on his throne ; 
 'and all the host of heaven standing by him on his 
 right hand and on his left. 
 
 20 And the Lord said, Who shall || persuade 
 Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead ? 
 And one said on this manner, and another said on 
 that manner. 
 
 21 And there came forth a spirit, and stood be-, 
 fore the Lord, and said, I will persuade him. 
 
 22 And the Lord said unto him, Wherewith? 
 And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying 
 spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he 
 said, * Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also : go 
 forth, and do so. 
 
 23 'Now therefore, behold, the Lord hath put a 
 lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, 
 and the Lord hath spoken evil concerning thee. 
 
 24 But Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went 
 near, and smote Micaiah on the cheek, and said, 
 '"Which way went the Spirit of the Lord from me 
 to speak unto thee? 
 
 25 And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see in 
 that day, when thou shalt go || into fan inner 
 chamber to hide thyself. 
 
 26 And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah, 
 and carry him back unto Amon the governor of the 
 city, and to Joash the king's son; 
 
 27 And say, Thus saith the king, Put this fellow 
 in the 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, "the Lord hath not spoken b}' me. And he 
 said, Hearken, O people, every one of you. 
 
 29 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the 
 king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead. 
 
 30 And the king of Israel said unto Jehosha- 
 phat, || 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 that had rule over his chariots, 
 saying, Fight neither with small nor great, save 
 only with the king of Israel. 
 
 32 And it came to pass, when the captains of tin 
 chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, Surely it 
 is the king of Israel. And they turned aside to 
 fight against him: and Jehoshaphat Scried out. 
 
 33 And it came to pass, when the captains of the 
 chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, 
 that they turned back from pursuing him. 
 
 34 And a certain man drew a bow fat a venture. 
 
 
Ahab is slum. 
 
 and smote the king of Israel between the fjoints 
 of the harness: wherefore he said unto the driver 
 of his chariot, Turn thine hand, and carry me out 
 of the host; for I am f wounded. 
 
 35 And the battle f increased that day : and the 
 king was stayed up in his chariot against the Sy- 
 rians, and died at even: and the blood run out of 
 the wound into the f midst 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 If So the king died, and fwas brought to Sa- 
 maria; and hicy buried the king in Samaria. 
 
 38 And one washed the chariot in the pool of 
 Samaria; and the dogs licked up his blood; and 
 they washed his armour: according "unto the word 
 of the Lord which he spake. 
 
 39 Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all that 
 he did, and r 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 slept with his fathers; and Ahaziah 
 his son reigned in his stead. 
 
 41 If And 'Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to 
 reiirn over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king 
 of Israel. 
 
 42 Jehoshaphat was thirty 
 when he began to reign; and 
 and five years in Jerusalem,

 his might that he shewed, and how he warred, an 
 they not written in the book of the Chronicles of

 48 "Jehoshaphat ||*mado ships of Tharshish to

 ships were broken at ''Ezion-geber. 
 
 49 Then said Ahaziah the son of Ahab unto Je- 
 hoshaphat, Let my servants go with thy servants 
 in the ships. But Jehoshaphat would not. 
 
 50 IT And 'Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and 
 was buried with his fathers in the city of David his 
 father: and Jehoram his son reigned in his stead. 
 
 51 TKAhaziah the son of Ahab began to reign 
 over Israel in Samaria the seventeenth 3'ear of 
 Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned two years 
 over Israel. 
 
 52 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, and 
 8 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 to anger the Lord God of Israel, ac 
 cording to all that his father had done.

 J- death of Ahab. 
 
 2 And Ahaziah fell down through a lattice in his 
 upper chamber that ivas in Samaria, and was sick : 
 and. he sent messengers, and said unto them, Go, 
 inquire of Baal-zebub the god of c Ekron, whether I 
 shall recover of this disease. 
 
 3 But the angel of the Lord said to Elijah the 
 Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the 
 king of Samaria, and say unto them, Is it not be- 
 cause there is not a God in Israel, that ye go to in- 
 quire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron f 
 
 4 Now therefore thus saith the Lord, f Thou shalt 
 not come down from that bed on which thou art 
 gone up, but shalt surely die. And Elijah departed. 
 
 5 HAnd when the messengers turned back unto 
 him, he said unto them, Why are ye now turned back ? 
 
 6 And they said unto him, There came a man 
 up to meet us, and said unto us, Go, turn again 
 unto the king that sent you, and say unto him, 
 Thus saith the Lord, 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

 8 And they answered him, He ivas rf an hairy man, 
 and girt with a girdle of leather about his loins. 
 And lie said, It is Elijah the Tishbite. 
 
 9 Then the king sent unto him a captain of fifty 
 with his fifty. And he went up to him : and be- 
 hold, he sat on the top of an hill. And he spake 
 unto him, Thou man of God, the king hath said 
 Come down. 
 
 10 And Elijah answered and said to the captain 
 of fifty, If 1 be a man of God, then e let fire come 
 down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty 
 And there came down fire from heaven, and con- 
 sumed him and his fifty. 
 
 11 Again also he sent unto him another captain 
 of fifty with his fifty. And he answered and said 
 unto him, O man of God, thus hath the king said, 
 Come down quickly. 
 
 12 And Elijah answered and said unto 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 11 And he sent again a captain of the third fifty 
 with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went 
 up, and came and ffell on hi? knees before Elijah, 
 and besought him, and said unto him, O man of God, 
 I pray thee, let my life, and the life of these fiftv 
 thy servants, -^be precious in thy sight.

Elijah dividdh Jordan, and 
 
 14 Behold, there came lire down from heaven, 
 and burnt un the two captains of the former fifties 
 with their fifties : therefore let my fife now be pre- 
 cious in thy sight. 
 
 15 And the angel of the Lord said unto Elijah, 
 Go down with him : be not afraid of him. And he 
 arose, and went down with him unto the king. 
 
 t6 And he said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, 
 Forasmuch as 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 off that bed on 
 which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. 
 
 17 IF So he died according to the word of the Lord 
 which Elijah had spoken. And || Jehoram 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 Chroni- 
 cles of the kings of Israel?

 1 Elijah is taken vp by a fiery chariot into heaven. 23 Bears destroy the 
 children that mocked Elisha. 
 
 A ND it came to pass, when the Lord would ° take 
 -£jL up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that 
 Elijah went with * Elisha from Gilgal. 
 
 2 And Elijah said unto Elisha, c Tarry here, I 
 pray thee; for the Lord hath sent me to Beth-el. 
 And Elisha said unto him, As the Lord liveth, and 
 *as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they 
 went' down to Beth-el. 
 
 3 And e the sons of the prophets that were at 
 Beth-el came forth to Elisha, and said unto him, 
 Knowest thou that the Lord 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 unto him, Elisha, tarry here, I 
 pia} r thee ; for the Lord hath sent me to Jericho. 
 And he said, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul 
 liveth, I will not leave thee. So they came to Jericho. 
 
 5 And the sons of the prophets that ivere at 
 Jericho came to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest 
 thou that the Lord will take away thy master from 
 thy head to-day ? And he answered, Yea, I know 
 it; hold ye your peace. 
 
 6 And Elijah said unto him, Tarry, I pray thee, 
 here; for the Lord hath sent me to Jordan. And 
 he said, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, 
 I will not leave thee. And they two went on. 
 
 7 And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and 
 stood f to view afar oil': and they two stood by Jordan. 
 
 8 And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it 
 together, and smote the waters, and Ahey were 
 divided hither and thither, so that they two went 
 over on dry ground. 
 
 9 II And it came to pass, when they were gone 
 Dver, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall 
 do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. 
 And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion 
 oi thy spirit be upon me. 
 
 10 And he said, fThou hast asked a hard thing: 
 nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from 
 thee, it shall be so unto thee ; but if not, it shall 
 not be so. 
 
 11 And it came to pass, as they still went on, and 
 talked, that behold, there appeared 4 'a chariot of fire, 
 and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; 
 and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.

 12 II And Elisha saw it, and he cried, ''My father 
 my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen 
 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 him, and went back, and stood by the f bank 
 of Jordan; 
 
 14 And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell 
 from him, and smote Ihe waters, and said, Where 
 is the Lord God of Elijah? 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 which -were 
 'to view 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 HAncl they said unto him, Behold now, there 
 be with thy servants fifty f strong men: let them 
 go, we pray thee, and seek thy master: "'lest per- 
 adventure the Spirit of the Lord hath taken him 
 up, and cast him upon fsome mountain, or into 
 some valley. And he said, yc shall not send. 
 
 17 And when they urged him till he was ashamed, 
 he said, Send. They sent therefore fifty men; and 
 they sought three days, but found him not. 
 
 18 And when they came again to him, (for he 
 tarried at Jericho,) V said unto them, Did I not 
 say unto you, Go not? 
 
 19 HAnd the men of the city said unto Elisha. 
 Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this city is 
 pleasant, as my lord seeth : but the water is naught, 
 and the ground f barren. 
 
 20 And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put 
 salt therein. And they brought it to him. 
 
 21 And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, 
 and "cast the salt in there, and said, Thus saith tho 
 Lord, I have healed these waters; there shall not 
 be from thence any more death or barren land. 
 
 22 So the waters were healed unto this day, ao 
 cording to the saying of Elisha which he spake. 
 
 23 IT And he went up from thence unto Beth-el: 
 and as he was going up by the way, there came 
 forth little children out of the city, and mocked 
 him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald-head; go 
 
 thou bald-head. 
 
 24 And he turned back, and looked on them, and 
 cursed them in the name of the Lord. And there 
 came forth two she-bears out of the wood, and tare 
 forty and two children of them. 
 
 25 And he went from thence to mount Carmel, 
 and from thence he returned to Samaria.

 1 Jehoram s reign. 4 Mrsha rehelleth. 
 
 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 wrought evil in the sight of the Lord; 
 but not like his father, and like his mother; for he 
 put away the t image of Baal ''that his father tiad 
 made. 
 
 3 Nevertheless, he cleaved unto c the sins of Jero- 
 boam the son of Nebat, which made Israel to sin; 
 he departed not therefrom. 
 
 4 IF And Mesha king of Moab was a sheep-mas- 
 ter, and rendered unto the king of Israel an hundred 
 thousand ''lambs, and an hundred thousand rams 
 with the wool. 
 
 5 But it came to pass, when 'Ahab was ^ead, thai 
 
 up. 
 
against 
 
 the 
 
 king 
 
 of Is- 
 
 A miraculous supply of ivntcr. 
 
 the king of Moab rebelled 
 rael. 
 
 G IT And king Jelioram went out of Samaria 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: J l amns 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 wilderness of Edom. 
 
 9 So the king of Israel went, and the king of Ju- 
 dah, and the king of Edom: and they fetched a com- 
 pass of seven day's journey : and there was no water 
 for the host, and for the cattle f that followed them. 
 
 10 And the king of Israel said, Alas, that the 
 Lord hath called .these three kings together, to de- 
 liver them into the hand of Moab ! 
 
 11 But* Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a pro- 
 phet of the Lord, that we may inquire of the Lord 
 by him ? And one of the king of Israel's servants an- 
 swered and said, Here is Elisha the son of Shaphat 
 which poured water on the hands of Elijah. 
 
 12 And Jehoshaphat said, The word of the Lord 
 is with him. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat 
 and the king of Edom ''went down to him. 
 
 13 And Elisha said unto the king of Israel,' What 
 have I to do with thee? *get thee to 'the prophets 
 of thy father, and to the prophets of thy mother. 
 And the kins of Israel said unto him, Nay: for 
 
 CHAP IV 
 
 the Lord hath called these three kings 
 
 together, 
 
 to 
 
 deliver them into the hand of Moab. 
 
 14 And Elisha said, m As the Lord of hosts liveth, 
 before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I re- 
 gard the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Ju- 
 dah, I would not look toward thee, nor see thee. 
 
 15 But now bring me a "minstrel. And it came 
 to pass, when the minstrel played, that "the hand 
 of the Lord came upon him. 
 
 16 And he said, Thus saith the Lord, /'Make 
 this valle}^ full of ditches. 
 
 17 For thus saith the Lord, Ye shall not see 
 wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet that valley 
 shall be filled with water, that ye may drink, both 
 ye, and your cattle, and your beasts. 
 
 18 And this is but a light thing in the sight of 
 the Lord: he will deliver the Moabites also into 
 your hand. 
 
 19 And ye shall smite every fenced city, and 
 every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, 
 and stop all wells of water, and fniar every good 
 Diece of land with stones. 
 
 20 And it came to pass in the morning, when 
 f the meat-offering was offered, that behold, there 
 caine water by the way of Edom, and the country 
 was filled with water. 
 
 21 IT And when all the Moabites heard that the 
 kings were come up to fight against them, they 
 [gathered all that were able to tP u t on armour, 
 and upward, and stood in the border. 
 
 22 And they rose up early in the morning, and 
 the sun shone upon the water, and the Moabites 
 saw the water on the other side a<? red as blood : 
 
 23 And they said, This is blood : the kings are 
 surely f slain, and they have smit ten one another : 
 now therefore, Moab, to the spoil. 
 
 24 And when they came to the camp of Israel,

 27 ThenMie took his eldest son, that should have

 and returned to their own land. 
 
 CHAP. IV. 
 
 1 Elisha multiplieth the widow's oil. 38 lie healeth the deadly potlage. 
 
 NOW there cried a certain woman of the wives of 
 a the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying. 
 Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowesi 
 that thy servant did fear the Lord: and the creditor 
 is come * to take unto him my two sons to be bond-men. 
 
 2 And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for 
 thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And 
 she said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in 
 the house save a pot 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 art come in, thou shalt shut 
 the door upon thee and upon 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 upon 
 her and upon her sons, Avho brought the vessels to 
 her; and she poured out. 
 
 6 And it came to pass, Avhen the 
 full, that she said unto her son, Bri 
 vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vesse: 
 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 children of the rest. 
 
 8 HAnd fit fell on a day, that Elisha passed to 
 d Shunem, where zvas a great woman ; and she f con- 
 strained him to eat bread. And so it was, thai as 
 oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread. 
 
 9 And she said unto her husband, Behold, now, 
 I perceive that this is an holy man of God, which 
 passeth b} r us continually. 
 
 10 Let us make a little chamber, I pray thee, on 
 the Avail ; 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 fell on a day, that he came thither, 
 and he turned into the chamber, and lay there. 
 
 12 And he said to Gehazi his sen-ant, Call this 
 Shunammite. And when he had called her, she 
 stood before him. 
 
 13 And he said unto him, Say nuw unto her, Be- 
 hold, 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? 
 
 26a 
 
 vessels were 
 lg me yet a 
 
her, accord- 
 
 brought 
 
 Trie Shunammitc s dead son raised to life. 
 
 And Gehazi answered, Verily she hath no child, 
 and her husband is old. 
 
 15 And he said, Call her. And when he had 
 railed her, she stood in the door. 
 
 16 And he said, 'About this f season, according 
 to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a son. And 
 she said, Nay, my lord, thou man of God, -/'do not 
 lie unto thine handmaid. 
 
 17 And the woman conceived, and bare a son at 
 that season that Elisha had said unto 
 ing to the time of life. 
 
 18 If And when the child was grown, it fell on a 
 day, that he went out to his father to the reapers. 
 
 19 And he said unto 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 
 nim to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, 
 and then died. 
 
 £T And she went up, and laid him on the bed 
 of the man of God, and shut the door upon him, and 
 went out. 
 
 22 And she called unto 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 f well. 
 
 24 Then she saddled an ass, and said to her ser- 
 vant, Drive, and go forward ; f slack not thy riding 
 for me, except I bid thee. 
 
 25 So she went and came unto the man of God ff to 
 mount Carmel. And it came to pass, when the man 
 of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his 
 servant, Behold, yonder is that Shunammite : 
 
 2o Run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say 
 unto her, Is it well with thee ? Is it well with thy 
 husband? 7s it well with the child? And she 
 answered, It is well. 
 
 27 And when she came to the man of God to the 
 hi! l, she caught f him by the feet : but Gehazi came 
 ne?r to thrust her away. 7^nd the man of God said. 
 Let her alone ; for her soul is f vexed within her : and 
 the Lord hath hid it from me, and hath not told me. 
 
 28 Then she said, Did I desire a son of m} r 
 lord? ''did 1 not say, Do not deceive me? 
 
 29 Then he said to Gehazi, i Gird up thy loins, 
 and Uke my staff in thine hand, and go thy way: 
 if thou meet any man, * salute him not; and if any 
 salute thee, answer him not again: and 'lay my 
 gtaff upon the fice of the child. 
 
 30 And the mother of the child said, '" As the Lord 
 liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. 
 And he arose, and followed her. 
 
 31 And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid 
 the staff upon the face of the child; but there was 
 ueii/iier voice, nor f hearing. Wherefore he went 
 again to meet him, and told him, saying, The child 
 is "not awaked. 
 
 32 And when Elisha was come into the house, 
 behold, the child was dead, and laid upon his bed. 
 
 33 He "went in therefore, and sliut the door 
 upon them twain, ^and prayed unto the Lord. 
 
 34 And he went up, and lay upon the child, and 
 nut his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon 
 his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and q he 
 stretched himself upon the chik 1 : and the flesh of 
 the child '^.xed warm.

 The deadly pottage healed. 
 
 Then he returned, and walked in the house 
 f to and fro; and went up, ''and stretched himself 
 upon him: and 'the child sneezed seven times, and 
 the child opened his eyes. 
 
 36 And he called Gfehazi, and said, Call this Shu- 
 nammite. So he called her. And when she was 
 come in unto 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 IT And Elisha came again to "Gilgal. And thcrfi 
 was a * dearth in the land; and the sons of the pro- 
 phets ivere y sitting before him : and he said unto his 
 servant, Set on the great pot, and seethe pottage 
 for the sons of the prophets. 
 
 39 And one went out into the field to gather 
 herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered thereof 
 wild gourds his lap full, and came and shred them 
 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, O thou man of God, there h 
 ~ death in the pot. And they could not eat thereof. 
 
 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 f harm in the pot. 
 
 42 II And there came a man from b Baal-shalisha, 
 c and brought the man of God bread of the first- 
 fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and full ears of 
 corn || in the husk thereof. And he said, Give unto 
 the people, that they may eat, 
 
 43 And his servitor said, "'What! should I set 
 this before an hundred men? He said again, Give 
 the people, that they may eat: for thus saith the 
 Lord, e They shall eat, and shall leave thereof. 
 
 44 So he set it before them, and they did eat, •/'and 
 left thereof, according to the word of the Lord. 
 
 CHAR V. 
 
 Naaman is sent to Samaria to be cured of his leprosy. 
 
 NOW "Naaman, captain of the host of the king 
 of Syria, w T as 6 a great man fwith his master, 
 and || f honourable, because by him the Lord had 
 given || deliverance unto Syria : he was also a mighty 
 man in valour, but he was a leper. 
 
 2 And the Syrians had gone out by companies, and 
 had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a 
 little maid; and she f waited on Naaman's wife. 
 
 3 And she said unto her mistress, Would God 
 my lord were f with the prophet that is in Samaria ' 
 for he would f recover him of his leprosy. 
 
 4 And one went in, and told his lord, sa} r ing, Thus 
 and thus said the maid that is of the land of Israel. 
 
 5 And the king of Syria said, Go to, go, and I 
 will send a letter unto the king of Israel. And he 
 departed, and c took fwith him ten talents of silver, 
 and six thousand pieces of gold, <*.nd ten changes of 
 raiment. 
 
 6 And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, 
 saying, Now when this, letter is come unto thee, be- 
 hold, I have therewith sent Naaman my servant to 
 thee, that thou mayest recover him of his leprosy. 
 
 7 And it came to pass, when the king of Israel 
 had read the letter, that he rent his clothes, and 
 said, Am I d God, to kill and to make alive, thai 
 this man doth send unto me to recover a man of 
 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 
 

 Naaman s leprosy cleansed. 
 
 he.'ird that the king of Israel uad rent his clothes, 
 that he sent to the king, saying, Wherefore hast 
 thou rent thy clothes ? let him come now to me, and 
 me 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 unto him, say- 
 ing, Go and 'wash in Jordan seven times, and thy 
 flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be 
 clean. 
 
 11 But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and 
 said, Behold, f II I thought, He will surely come out 
 to me, and stand, and call on the name of the Lord 
 his God, and f strike his hand over the place, and 
 recover the leper. 
 
 12 Are not || Ahana and Pharpar, rivers of Damas- 
 cus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not 
 wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and 
 went away in a rage. 
 
 13 And his servants came near, and spake unto 
 him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid 
 thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have 
 done it? how much rather then, when he saith to 
 thee, Wash, and be clean? 
 
 14 Then went he down, and dipped himself 
 seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of 
 the man of God : and ^'his flesh came again like unto 
 the flesh of a little child, and e he was clean'. 
 
 15 1f 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 A no 
 God in all the earth, but in Israel : now therefore, I 
 pray thee, take 'a blessing of thy servant. 
 
 16 But he said, k As the Lord liveth, before whom 
 I stand, 'I will receive none. And he urged him to 
 take it; but he refused. 
 
 17 And Naaman said, kihall 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 uor sacrifice unto other 
 gods, but unto the Lord. 
 
 18 In this thing the Lord pardon thy servant, th it 
 when my master goeth into the house of Rimmon 
 to worship there, and '"he leaneth on my hand, and 
 I bow myself in the house of Rimmon : when I bow 
 down myself in the house of Rimmon, the Lord 
 pardon thy servant in this thing. 
 
 19 And he said unto him, Go in peace. So he 
 departed from him fa little way. 
 
 20 HBut Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man 
 of God, said, Behold, my master hath spared Naa- 
 man this Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that 
 which he brought: but as the Lord liveth, I will 
 run after him, and take somewhat of 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, f Is all well ? 
 
 22 And he said, All is well. My master hath sent 
 mo, saying, Behold, even now there be come to me 
 from mount Ephraim two young men of the sons of 
 the prophets : give them, 1 pray thee, a talent of 
 silver, and two changes of garments. 
 
 23 And Naaman said, Be content, take two 
 talents. And he urged him, and bound two talents 
 .if silver in two bags, with two changes of garments, 
 and laid them upon two of his servants; and they 
 bare them before him.

 25 But he went in, and stood before his master: 
 and Elisha said unto him, Whence comest thou, Ge- 
 hazi? And he said, Thy servant went fno whither. 
 
 26 And he said unto him, Went not mine heart 
 with thee, when the man turned again from his cha- 
 riot to meet thee? Is it a time to receive money, 
 and to receive garments, and olive-yards, and vine- 
 yards, and sheep, and oxen, and men-servants, and

 CHAP. VI. 
 
 The army which was sent to Dolhan, to apprehend Elisha, is smitten with 
 
 bluidness. 
 
 AND "the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha, 
 Behold now, the place where we dwell with 
 thee is too strait for us. 
 
 2 Let us go, we pray thee, unto Jordan, and 
 take thence every man a beam, and let us make us 
 a place there, where we may dwell. And he an- 
 swered, Go ye. 
 
 3 And one said, Be content, I pray thee, and go 
 with thy servants. And he answered, I will go. 
 
 4 So he went with them. And when they came 
 to Jordan, they cut down wood. 
 
 5 But as one was felling a beam, the f axe-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 II Then the king of Syria warred against Israel, 
 and took counsel with his servants, sajdng, In such 
 and such a place shall be my || camp. 
 
 9 And the man of God sent unto 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 
 saved himself there, not once nor twice. 
 
 11 Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was 
 sore troubled for this thing; and he called his ser- 
 vants, and said unto them, Will ye not shew mo 
 which of us is for the king of Israel ? 
 
 12 And one of his servants said, fNone, my loid, 
 
 king : but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, 
 telleth the king of Israel the words that thou speak- 
 est in thy bed-chamber. 
 
 13 HAnd he said, Go, and spy where he is, that 
 
 1 may send and fetch him. And it was told him, 
 saying, Behold, he is in 'Dothan. 
 
 14 Therefore sent he thither horses, and chariots, 
 and a f great host: and they came by night, and 
 compassed the city about. 
 
 15 And when the || servant of the man of God was 
 risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed 
 the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant 
 said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do? 
 
 16 And he answered, Fear not: for ''they that be 
 with us ore more than they that be with them. 
 
 17 And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray 
 thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord 
 opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw ; and 
 
 'ioa 
 
A ip cat famine in Samaria. 
 
 behold, the mountain zvas full of 'horses and cha- 
 riots of fire round about Elisha. 
 
 18 And when they came down to him, Elisha 
 prayed unto the Lord, and said, Smite this people, 
 I pray thee, with blindness. And ■ / 'he smote them 
 with blindness, according to the word of Elisha. 
 
 19 If And Elisha said unto them, This is not the way, 
 neither is this the city : f follow me, and I will bring you 
 to the man whom ye seek. But he led them to Samaria. 
 
 20 And it came to pass, when they were come 
 into Samaria, that Elisha said, Lord, open the eyes 
 of these men, that they may see. And the Lord 
 opened their eyes, and they saw; and behold, they 
 ivere in the midst of Samaria. 
 
 21 And the king of Israel said unto Elisha, when 
 he saw liem, My father, shall I smite them? shall I 
 smite them? 
 
 22 And he answered, Thou shalt not smite them: 
 wouldest thou smite those whom thou hast taken 
 captive with thy sword and with thy bow? f set 
 bread and water before them, that they may eat 
 and drink, and go to their master. 
 
 23 And he prepared great provision for them: 
 and when they had eaten and drunk, he sent them 
 away, and they went to their master. So ; 'the bands 
 of Syria came no more iuto the land of Israel. 
 
 24 IT And it came to pass after this, that Ben- 
 Riadad king of Syria gathered all his host, and went 
 up, and besieged Samaria. 
 
 11. KINGS. 
 
 25 And there was a great 
 and behold, they besieged it, 
 
 in Samaria: 
 an ass's head 
 
 famine 
 
 until 
 was sold for fourscore pieces of silver, and the fourth 
 part of a cab of dove's dung for five pieces of silver. 
 
 26 And as the king of Israel was passing by 
 upon the wall, there cried a woman unto him, say- 
 ing, Help, my lord, king. 
 
 27 And he said, || If the Lord do not help thee, 
 whence shall I help thee ? out of the barn-floor, or 
 out of the wine-press ? 
 
 28 And the king said unto her, What aileth 
 thee? And she answered, This woman said unto 
 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 
 1 said unto her on the fnext day, Give thy son, 
 that we may eat him: and she hath hid her son. 
 
 30 II And it came to pass, when the king heard the 
 words of the woman, that he *rent his clothes; and 
 he passed by upon the wall, and the people looked, 
 and behold, he had sackcloth within upon his flesh. 
 
 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 da}'. 
 
 32 But Elifiha sat in his house, and '"the elders sat 
 with him; and the king sent a man from before him: 
 but ere the messenger came to him, he said to the 
 elders, " See ye how this son of "a murderer hath sent 
 to take away mine head? look, when the messenger 
 cometh, shut the door, and hold him fast at the door : 
 is not th? sound of his master's feet behind him? 
 
 33 And while he yet talked with them, behold, 
 the messenger came down unto him: and he said, 
 Behold, this evil is of the Lord; ''what should I 
 wait for the Lord any longer ?

 gate of Samaria,. 
 
 2 b Then f a lord on whose hand the king leaned 
 answered the man of God, and said, Behold, c ?/ the 
 Lord would make windows in heaven, might this 
 thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it 
 with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof. 
 
 3 II And there were four leprous men rf at the 
 entering in of the gate : and they said one to an- 
 other, 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 die also. Now therefore come, 
 and let us fall unto 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 unto 
 the camp of the Syrians : and when they were 
 come to the uttermost part of the camp of Syria, 
 behold, there was no man there. 
 
 6 For the Lord had made the host of the Syrians 
 f 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 s 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 uttermost 
 part of the camp, they went into one tent, and did 
 eat and drink, and carried thence silver, and gold, 
 and raiment, and went and hid it: and came again, 
 and entered into another tent, and carried thence 
 also, f-nd 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, f some 
 mischief will come upon us: now therefore come, 
 that we may go and tell the king's household. 
 
 10 So they came and called unto 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 were. 
 
 11 And he called ,the porters; and they told it 
 to the king's house within. 
 
 12 IT And the king arose in the night, and said unto 
 his servants, I will now shew you what the Syrians 
 have done to us. They know that we he hungry ; there- 
 fore are they gone out of the camp, to hide themselves 
 in the field, saying, When they come out of the city, 
 Ave shall catch them alive, and get into the city. 
 
 13 And one of his servants ansAvered and said, 
 Let some take, I pray thee, five of the horses that 
 remain, Avhich are left fin the city, (behold, they arc 
 as all the multitude of Israel that are left in it : be- 
 hold, I say, they are even as all the multitude cf the 
 Israelites that are consumed :) and let us send and see. 
 
 14 They took therefore tAvo chariot horses; and 
 the king sent after the host of the Syrians, saying, 
 Go and see. 
 
 15 And they went after them unto Jordan: and 
 lo, all the Avay was full of garments and vessels, 
 Avhich the Syrians had cast away in their haste. 
 And the messengers returned, and told the king. 
 
 16 And the people Avent out, and spoiled the tents 
 
Tlie unbelieving lord trodden in death.

 of the Syrians. So ft incisure! of fine flour was sold

 17 IT And the king appointed the lord on whose 
 hand he leaned to have the charge of the gate : and 
 Kh.e people trode upon him in the gate, and he died, 
 'a,s the man of God had said, who spake when the 
 king came down to him. 
 
 18 And it came to pass as the man of God had 
 spoken to the king, sa}dng,* Two measures of barley for 
 a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for a shekel, shall 
 be to-movFOw about this time in the gate of Samaria : 
 
 19 And that lord answered the man of God, and 
 said, Now, behold, if the Lord should make win- 
 dows 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 unto him : for the people 
 trode upon him in the gate, and he died.

 I The Shunammite, for Elisha's miracle's sake, hath her land restored by 
 
 the king. 16 Jehoram's wicked reign in Judah. 
 
 THEN spake Elisha unto the woman, "whose son 
 he had restored to life, saying, Arise, and go 
 thou and thine household, and sojourn wheresoever 
 thou canst sojourn: for the Lord *hath called for a 
 famine; and it shall also come upon the land seven 
 years. 
 
 2 And the woman arose, and did after the saying of 
 the man of God : and she went with her household, 
 and sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years. 
 
 3 And it came to pass at the seven years end, 
 that the "woman returned out of the land of the 
 Philistines : and she went forth to cry unto the 
 king for her house, and for her land. 
 
 4 And the king talked with ' Gehazi the servant 
 of the man of God, saying, Tell me, I pray thee, 
 all the great things that Elisha hath done. 
 
 5 And it came to pass, as he was telling the king 
 how he had rf restored a dead body to life, that behold, 
 the woman, whose son he had restored to life, cried 
 to the king for her house and for her land. And Ge- 
 hazi 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 unto her a certain 
 
 II oflicer, saying, Restore all that toas hers, and all 
 tlT> fruits of the field since the day that she left 
 the land, even until now. 
 
 7 11 And Elisha came to Damascus: and Ben- 
 hndad the king of Syria was sick; and it was told 
 him, saying. The man of God is come hither. 
 
 8 And the king said unto 'Hazael, ^ Take a pre- 
 rvent in thine hand, and go, meet the man of God, 
 und s inquire of the Lord by him, saying, Shall I 
 recover of this disease? 
 
 ') So Hazael went to meet him, and took a present 
 t with 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 of this disease? 
 
 10 And Elisha said unto him, Go, say unto him, 
 Thou mayest certainly recover : howbeit, the Lord 
 hath shew r ed me, that * he shall surely die. 
 
 11 And he settled his countenance t steadfastly, 
 until he was ashamed: and the man of God 'wept.

 1(5 If And in the fifth year of Joram the son of 
 Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being then kins 
 of Judah, ° Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of 
 Judah f began to reign. 
 
 17 p 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 the Lord. 
 
 19 Yet the Lord would not destroy Judah, for 
 David his servant's sake, r as he promised him to 
 give him ahvays a flight, and to his children. 
 
 20 IT In his days 'Edom revolted from under 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 Edom- 
 ites which compassed nim about, and the captains 
 of the chariots : and the people fled into their tents. 
 
 22 || Yet Edom revolted from under the hand

 27 *And he walked in the way of the house of 
 Ahab, and did evil in the sight of the Lord, as did 
 the house of Ahab: for he was the son-in-law of

 28 IT And he went "with Joram the son of Ahab 
 to the war against Hazael king of Syria in Ramoth-

 29 And 'king Joram went back to be healed in 
 Jezreel of the wounds f which the Syrians had given 
 him at || Ramah, when he fought against Hazael 
 king of Syria. c And Ahaziah the son of Jehoram 
 king of Judah went down to see Joram the son of 
 Ahab in Jezreel, because he was fsick. 
 
 CHAP. IX. 
 
 Elisha sendeth a young prophet with instructions to anoint Jehu at Ramoth- 
 
 gilead. 
 
 ND Elisha the prophet called one of 'the chil- 
 dren of the prophets, and said unto him, *Gird

 A 
 
Jehu anointed Icing : 
 
 up thy loins, and take this box of oil in thine hand, 
 and go to Ram oth-gi lead : 
 
 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 f inner chamber; 
 
 3 Tiien 'take the box of oil, and pour it on his 
 head, and say, Thus saith the Lord, I have anointed 
 thee king over Israel. Then open the door, and 
 flee, and tarry not. 
 
 4 IT So the young man, even the }'Oung 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 an errand to 
 thee, captain. And Jehu said, Unto which of 
 all us? 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 unto him, J Thus 
 saith the Lord God of Israel, I have anointed thee 
 king over the people of the Lord, even over Israel. 
 
 T And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy 
 master, that I may avenge the blood of my servants 
 the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of 
 the Lord, *'at the hand of Jezebel. 
 
 8 For the whole house of Ahab shall perish: and 
 * I will cut off from Ahab 'him that pisseth against the 
 wall, and *him that is shut up and left in Israel: 
 
 9 And I will make the house of Ahab like the 
 house of 'Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the 
 house of '" 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 IT Then Jehu came forth to the servants of his 
 lord : and one said unto him, Is all well? wherefore 
 jaine "this mad felloiv to thee? And he said unto 
 them, Ye know the man, and his communication. 
 
 12 And they said, It is false; tell us now. And 
 he said, Thus and thus spake he to me, saying, Thus 
 saith the Lord, 1 have anointed thee king over Israel. 
 
 13 Then they hasted, and ''took every man his gar- 
 ment, and put it under him on the top of the stairs, 
 and blew with trumpets, saying, Jehu |is king. 
 
 14 So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat, the son of 
 Nimshi, conspired against Joram. (Now Joram 
 had kept Ramoth-gilead, he and all Israel, because 
 of Hazael king of Syria. 
 
 15 But ''king f Joram Avas returned to be healed 
 in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians fhad 
 siven him, when he fought with Hazael king of 
 Syria.) And Jehu said, If it be your minds, then 
 f let 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 Jez- 
 reel; for Joram lay there. r And Ahaziah king of 
 Judah was come down to see Joram. 
 
 17 And there stood a watchman on the tower 
 in Jezreel, and he spied the company of Jehu as 
 he came, and said, I see a company. And Joram 
 said, Take an horseman and send to .meet them, 
 and let him say, Is it peace ? 
 
 1 8 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 thee 
 behind me. And the watchman told, saying, The 
 messenger came to them, but he cometh not again. 
 
 . 1 9 Then he sent out a second on horseback, 
 which came to them, and said, Thus saith the king,

 Is it peace? Ami JeTiu answered, what hast thou 
 to do with peace? turn thee behind me. 
 
 20 And the watchman told, saying, He came 
 even unto them, and cometh not again: and the 
 
 II driving is like the 
 
 driving 
 
 of Jehu the son of 
 
 Nimshi; for he driveth f furiously. 
 
 21 And Joram said, fMake ready. And his 
 chariot was made ready. And ' Joram king of Israel 
 and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his 
 chariot, and they went out against Jehu, and f met 
 him in the portion of Naboth the Jezreelite. 
 
 22 And it came to pass, when Joram saw Jehu, 
 that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he answered, 
 What peace, so long as the whoredoms of thy mo- 
 ther Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many? 
 
 23 And Joram turned his hands, and fled, and 
 said to Ahaziah, There is treachery, O Ahaziah. 
 
 24 And Jehu f drew a bow with his full strength, 
 and smote Jehoram between his arms, and the ar- 
 row went out at his heart, and he fsunk down in 
 his chariot. 
 
 25 Then said Jehu to Bidkar his captain, Take 
 up, and cast him in the portion of the field of Na- 
 both the Jezreelite : for remember how that, Avhen 
 I and thou rode together after Ahab his father, 
 'the Lord laid this burden upon him; 
 
 26 Surely I have seen yesterday the f blood of 
 Naboth, and the blood of bis sons, saith the Lord; 
 and "1 will requite thee in this || plat, saith the Lord. 
 Now therefore take and cast him into the plat of 
 ground, according to the word of the Lord. 
 
 27 HBut 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 x Megiddo, 
 and died there. 
 
 28 And his servants carried him in a chariot tc 
 Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulchre with bis 
 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 II And when Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jeze- 
 bel heard of it; y and she f painted her face, and 
 tired her head, and looked out at a window. 
 
 31 And as Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, 
 x IIad Zimri peace, who slew his master? 
 
 32 And he lifted up his face to the window, and 
 said, Who is on my side? who? And there looked 
 out to him two or three || eunuchs. 
 
 33 And he said, Throw her down. So they 
 threw her down : and some of her blood Avas 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 cursed 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 the Lord, which 
 he spake fby his servant Elijah the Tishbite, say 
 ing, *In the portion of Jezreel shall dogs eat the 
 flesh of Jezebel : 
 
 37 And the carcass of Jezebel shall be f as dung 
 upon the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel, 
 so that they shall not say, This is Jezebel.

 j'hu hi/ hix letters cauxeth xiventi/ of Ahtib'x cliildren to he beheaded. 
 
 AND Ahab h;id seventy sons in Samaria. And 
 Jehu wrote letters, and sent to Samaria, unto 
 the rulers of Jezreel, to the elders, and to fthem 
 that brought up Ahab's children, saying, 
 
 2 Now as soon as this letter coineth to you, 
 seeing your master's sons are with } r ou, and there 
 we with you chariots and horses, a fenced city 
 also, and armour; 
 
 3 Look even out the best and meetest 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 arc thy 
 servants, and will do all that thou shalt bid us ; we 
 will not make any king : do thou that which is good 
 in thine eyes. 
 
 6 Then he wrote a letter the second time to them, 
 saying, If ye be fmine,and if ye will hearken unto my 
 voice, take ye the heads of the men your master s 
 sons, and come to me to Jezreel by to-morrow this 
 time. (Now the king's sons being seventy persons, 
 were with the great men of the city, which brought 
 rhem 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 
 sonn. And he said, Lay ye them in two heaps at 
 the entering in 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 
 be righteous: behold, b I conspired against my mas- 
 ter, and slew him: but who slew all these? 
 
 10 Know now that there shall ' 'fall unto the earth 
 nothing of the word of the Loud, which the Lord 
 spike concerning the house of Ahab: for the Lord 
 hath done that which he spake ''fby his servant Elijah. 
 
 11 So Jehu slew all that remained of the house 
 of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his great men, and his 
 II kinsfolks, and his priests, until he left him none

 12 IF And he arose and departed, and came to 
 Samaria. And as he was at the f shearing-house

 13 'Jehu fmet with the brethren of Ahaziah 
 king of Judah, and said, Who are } r e? And they 
 answered, We are the brethren of Ahaziah; and 
 we go lown fto salute the children of the king 
 and the children of the queen. 
 
 14 And he said, Take them alive. And they 
 took 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 was departed thence, he 
 Flighted on •'Jehonadab the son of A 'Reehab coming to

 And Jehonadab answered, It is. If it be, 7, give me

 17 And when lie came to Samaria, *he slew all 
 that remained unto Ahab in Samaria, till he had 
 destroyed him, according to the saying of the Loud, 
 'which he spake to Elijah. 
 
 18 II Ami Jehu gathered all the people together, 
 and said unto them, '"Ahab served Baal a little; 
 bid Jehu shall serve him much. 
 
 19 Now therefore call unco me all the "prophets 
 of Baal, all his servants, and all his priests; let nono 
 be wanting: for I have a great sacrifice to do to 
 Baal: whosoever shall be wanting, he shall not 
 live. But Jehu did it in subtilty, to the intent 
 that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal. 
 
 20 And Jehu said, f Proclaim 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 another. 
 
 22 And he said unto him t\wt was over the vestn , 
 Bring forth vestments for all the worshippers of 
 Baal. And he brought them forth vestments. 
 
 23 And Jehu went, and Jehonadab the son of 
 Rechab, into the house of Baal, and said unto the 
 worshippers of Baal, Search, and look that there 
 be here with you none of the servants of the Lord, 
 but the worshippers of Baal only. 
 
 24 And when they went in to offer sacrifices and 
 burnt-offerings, Jehu appointed fourscore men with- 
 out, and said, If an} r of the men whom I have 
 brought into your hands escape, he that letteth him 
 go, ''bis 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 captains, Go in, and slay them ; 
 let none come forth. And they smote them with fthe 
 edge of the sword ; and the guard and the captains 
 enstthem out, and went to the city of the house of Baal. 
 
 26 And they brought forth the f images out of 
 the house of Baal, and burned them. 
 
 27 And they brake down the image of Baal, and 
 brake down the house of Baal, r and made it a 
 draught-house unto this day. 
 
 28 Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out ol Israel. 
 
 29 IFHowbeit, from the sins of Jeroboam the 
 son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, Jehu departed 
 not from after them, to wit, "the golden calves that 
 were in Beth-el, and that were in Dan. 
 
 30 And the Loud said unto Jehu, Because thou 
 hast done well in executing that which is right in 
 mine eyes, and hast done unto the house of Ahab ac- 
 cording to all that was in mine heart, 'thy children of 
 the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel. 
 
 31 But Jehu f took no heed to walk in the law 
 of the Lord God of Israel with all his heart : for he 
 departed not from "the sins of Jeroboam, which 
 made Israel to sin. 
 
 32 IF In those days the Lord began fto cut Israel 
 short: and * llazael smote them in all the coasts of 
 Israel ; 
 
 33 From Jordan f eastward, all the land of Gi- 
 lead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the 
 Manassites, from Aroer, which is by the river Ar- 
 non, || even ^Gilead and Bashan.

Athaliah destroy Uh the fang's seed. 
 
 he did, and all his might, are they not written in 
 the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel? 
 
 35 And Jehu slept with his fathers: and they 
 buried him in Samaria. And Jehoahaz his son 
 reigned in his stead. 
 
 36 And fthe time that Jehu reigned over Israel 
 in Samaria was twenty and eight years.

 AND when "Athaliah 'the mother of Ahaziah 
 saw that her son was dead, she arose and de- 
 stroyed all the fseed royal. 
 
 2 But || Jehosheba, 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 the 
 Lord six years. And Athaliah did reign over the 
 land. 
 
 4 IT And r the seventh year Jehoiada sent and 
 fetched the rulers over hundreds, with the captains 
 and the guard, and brought them to him into the 
 house of the Lord, and made a covenant with them, 
 and took an oath of them in the house of the Lord, 
 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 that 
 enter in ''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 || f parts of all you that go forth on 
 the sabbath, even they shall keep the watch of the 
 house of the Lord about the king. 
 
 8 And ye shall compass the king round about, every 
 man with his weapons in his hand : and he that com- 
 eth within the ranges, let him be slain. And be ye 
 with the king as he goeth out and as he cometh in. 
 
 9 e And the captains over the hundreds did accord- 
 ing to all things that Jehoiada the priest commanded : 
 and they took every man his men that were to come 
 in on the sabbath, with them that should go out on 
 the sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the priest. 
 
 10 And to the captains over hundreds did the 
 priest give king David's spears and shields, that 
 ivere in the temple of the Lord. 
 
 11 And the guard stood, every man with his 
 weapons in his hand, round about the king, from 
 the right f corner of the temple, to the left corner of 
 the temple, along by the altar and the temple. 
 
 12 And he brought forth the king's son, 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, \ J God save the 
 king. 
 
 13 If* And when Athaliah heard the noise of the 
 guard and of the people, she came to the people 
 into the temple of the Lord. 
 
 14 And when she looked, behold, the king stood 
 by "a pillar, as the manner was, and the princes and 
 the trumpeters by the king, and all the people of the 
 land rejoiced, and blew with trumpets. And Atha- 
 liah rent her clothes, and cried, Treason, treason!

 Jehoiada rcstoreth the worship of JoJ. 
 
 tains of the hundreds, the officers of the host, iciut 
 said unto them. Have her forth without the rangeo 
 and him that followeth her kill with the sword. 
 For the priest had said, Let her not be slain in the 
 house of the Lord. 
 
 16 And they laid hands on her; and she went 
 by the way by the which the horses came into tho 
 king's house : and there was she slain. 
 
 17 H'And Jehoiada made a covenant between 
 the Lord and the king and the people, that they 
 should be the Lord's people; * between the king 
 also and the people. 
 
 18 And all the people of the land went into the 
 'house of Baal, and brake it down ; his altars and his 
 images "'brake they in pieces thoroughly, and slew 
 Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And "the 
 priest appointed f officers over the house of the Lord. 
 
 19 And he took the rulers over hundreds, and 
 the captains, and the guard, and all the people of 
 the land ; and they brought down the king from 
 the house of the Lord, 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 rejoiced, and 
 the city was in quiet: and they slew Athaliah with 
 the sword beside the king's house. 
 
 21 "Seven years old ivas Jehoash when he began 
 to reign. 
 
 CHAP. XII. 
 
 Jehoash reigneth well all the days of Jehoiada. 
 
 IN the seventh }'ear 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 the Lord all his days wherein Jehoiada the 
 priest instructed him. 
 
 3 But 'the high places were not taken away: 
 the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the 
 high places. 
 
 4 IT And Jehoash said to the priests, 'All the 
 money of the || t dedicated things that is brought into 
 the house of the Lord, even ''the money of every one 
 that passeth the account, f the money that every man 
 is set at, and all the money that t c cometh into any 
 man's heart to bring into the house of the Lord, 
 
 5 Let the priests take it to them, every man of his 
 acquaintance : and let them repair the breaches of 
 the house, wheresoever any breach shall be found 
 
 6 But it was so, that fin the three and twentieth 
 year of king Jehoash J the priests had not repaired 
 the breaches of the house. 
 
 7 *Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the 
 priest, and the other priests, and* said unto them, Why 
 repair ye not the breaches of the house ? now there- 
 fore receive no more money of your acquaintance, 
 but deliver it for the breaches of the house. 
 
 8 And the priests consented to receive no m<rc 
 money of the people, neither to repair the breaches 
 of the house. 
 
 9 But Jehoiada the priest took A 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 the Lord: and the priests that kept the fdoor 
 put therein all the money that was brought into tlW 
 house of the Lord. 
 
 10 And it was so, when they saw that there was 
 much money in the chest, that the king's || scribe and 
 the high priest came up, and they f put up in bags, and 
 
frhoash stain by his servants. 
 
 told the money that was found in the house of the 
 
 (MI AP. XIII. 
 
 Loiti). 
 11 
 
 And they gave the money, 
 
 being 
 
 told, 
 
 into 
 the hands of tticin that did the work, that had the 
 oversight of the house of the Lord: and they i* laid 
 it out to the carpenters and builders, that wrought 
 upon the house of the Loru, 
 
 12 And to masons, and hewers of stone, and to 
 buy timber and hewed stone to repair the breaches 
 of the house of the Lord, and for all that f was laid 
 out for the house to repair it. 
 
 1.3 Howbeit, 'there were not made for the house 
 of the Lord bowls of silver, snuffers, basons, trum- 
 pets, any vessels of gold, or vessels of silver, of the 
 money that was brought into the house of the Lord: 
 
 14* But they gave that to the workmen, and re- 
 paired therewith the house of the Lord. 
 
 15 Moreoier, * 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-mon^y and sin-money was not 
 brought into the house of the Lord : ,n it was the priests'. 
 
 17 IF Then "Hazael 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 Hook all the hal- 
 lowed things that Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and 
 Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, 
 and his own hallowed things, and all the gold that 
 was found in the treasures of the house of trie Lord, 
 and in the king's house, and sent it to Hazael king 
 of Syria : and ne t went away from Jerusalem. 
 
 19 IT And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all 
 that he did, are they not written in the book of 
 the Chronicles of the kings of Judah? 
 
 20 And 'his servants arose, and made a con- 
 spiracy, and slew Joash in || the house of Millo, 
 which goeth down to Silla. 
 
 21 For r Jozachar the son of Shimeath, and Je- 
 hozabad 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. 
 
 chap. xiii. 
 
 Jehoahaz' s wicked reign. 
 
 IN fthe three and twentieth year of Joash the 
 son of Ahaziah king of Judah, Jehoahaz the son 
 of Jehu began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and 
 reigned seventeen years. 
 
 2 And he did that ivhich was evil in the sight of 
 the Lord, and f followed the sins of Jeroboam the 
 son of Nebat, which made Israel to sin; he de- 
 parted not therefrom. 
 
 3 HAnd "the anger of the Lord was kindled 
 against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand 
 of ° Hazael king of S}u - ia, and into the hand of Ben- 
 hadad the son of Hazael, all their days. 
 
 i And Jehoahaz ' besought the Lord, and the Lord 
 nearkened unto him : for ''ne taw the oppression of 
 Israel, because the king of Syria oppressed them. . 
 
 5 ( c And the Lord gave Israel a saviour, so that they 
 went out from under the hand of the Syrians : and the 
 children of Israel dwelt in their tents, fas beforetime. 
 
 6' Nevertheless they departed not from the sins 
 of the house of Jeroboam, who made Israel sin, 
 but f walked therein: -/and there f remained the 
 grove also in Samaria.)

 but fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thou-

 them,* and had made them like the dust by threshing. 
 
 8 INow the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, and all 
 that he did, and his might, are they not written in 
 the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel? 
 
 9 And Jehoahaz slept with his fathers; and 
 they buried him in Samaria: and || Joash his son 
 reigned in his stead.* 
 
 10 IT In the thirty and seventh year of Joash king 
 of Judah began || Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz to reign 
 over Israel in Samaria, and reigned sixteen years. 
 
 11 And he did that which was evil in the sight 
 of the Lord; he departed not from all the sins of 
 Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel 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 
 Ainaziah king of Judah, are they not written fn the 
 book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel? 
 
 13 And Joash slept with his fathers; and Jero- 
 boam sat upon his throne; and Joash was buried 
 in Samaria with the kings of Israel. 
 
 14 IF Now Elisha was fallen sick of his sickness 
 whereof he died. And Joash the king of Israel 
 came down unto him, and wept over his face, and 
 said, my father, my father! 'the chariot of Israel, 
 and the horsemen thereof! 
 
 15 And Elisha said unto him, Take bow and 
 arrows. And he took unto him bow and arrows. 
 
 16 And he said to the king of Israel, f Put thine 
 hand upon the bow. And he put his hand upon it: 
 and Elisha put his hands upon the king's hands. 
 
 17 And he said, Open the window eastward. 
 And he opened it. Then Elisha said, Shoot. And 
 he shot. And he said, The arrow of the Lord's 
 deliverance, and the arrow of deliverance from 
 Syria: for thou shalt smite the Syrians in "Aphek, 
 till thou have consumed them. 
 
 18 And he said, Take the arrows. And he took 
 them. And he said unto the king^ of Israel, Smite 
 upon the ground. And he smote thrice, and stayed. 
 
 19 And the man of God was wroth with him, and 
 said, Thou shouldest have smitten five or six times ; 
 then hadst thou smitten 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 invaded 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 mat; and 
 they cast the man into the sepulchre of Elisha: and 
 when the man f was let down, and touched the bones 
 of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet. 
 
 22 IF But '< Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel 
 all the days of Jehoahaz. 
 
 23 r And the Loro was gracious unto them, and 
 had compassion on them, and 'had respect unto 
 them, 'because of his covenant with Abraham 
 Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, 
 neither cast he them from his f presence as } r et. 
 
 24 So Hazael king of S} r ria died; and Ben- 
 hadad his son reigned in his stead. 
 
 25 And Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz f took again 
 out of the hand of Ben-hadad the son of Hazael the 
 cities, which he had taken out of the hand of Je- 
 hoahaz his father by war. "Three times did Joasb 
 beat him, and recovered the cities of Israel.

 1 AmaziaKs good reig n 6 [lis Justice on the murderers of his father. 
 
 IN ■ the second year of Joash son of Jehoahaz 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 
 i i Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jehoad- 
 'lan of Jerusalem. 
 
 3 And he did that ivhich mm right in the sight of 
 the Lord, yet not like David his father: he did 
 according to all things as Joash his father did. 
 
 4 f Howbeit, the high places were not taken away : 
 as yet the people did sacrifice, and burnt incense 
 on the high places. 
 
 5 IF And it came to pass, as soon as the kingdom 
 was confirmed in his hand, that he slew his ser- 
 vants d which had slain the king his father. 
 
 6 But the children of the murderers he slew 
 not: according unto that which is written in the 
 book of the law of Moses, wherein the Lord com- 
 manded, saying, c The fathers shall not be put to 
 death for the children, nor the children be put to 
 death for the fathers; but every man shall be put 
 to death for his own sin. 
 
 7 ■> He slew of Edom in *the valley of salt ten 
 thousand, and took || Selah by war, ''and called the 
 name of it Joktheel unto this day. 
 
 8 11' Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash, 
 the son of Jehoahaz, son of Jehu king of Israel, say- 
 ing, Come, let us look one another in the face. 
 
 9 And Jehoash the king of Israel sent to Ama- 
 ziah king of Judah, saying, *The thistle that was in 
 Lebanon sent to the 'cedar that was in Lebanon, 
 saying, Give thy daughter to my son to wife : and 
 there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon, 
 and tt>ide down the thistle. 
 
 10 Thou hast indeed smitten Edom, and '"thine 
 heart hath lifted thee up : glory of this, and tarry fat- 
 home . for why shouldest thou meddle to th?j\\m% that 
 thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with thee? 
 
 11 But Amaziah would not hear. Therefore Je- 
 hoash king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah 
 king of Judah looked one another in the face at 
 "Beth-shemesh, which belong eth to Jurlah. 
 
 12 And Judah fwas put to the worse before 
 Israel; and they fled every man to their tents. 
 
 13 And Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king 
 of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at 
 Beth-shemesh, and came to Jerusalem, and brake 
 down the wall of Jerusalem from "the gate of Ephraim 
 unto <' the corner-gate, four hundred cubits. 
 
 14 And he took all v the gold and silver, and all 
 the vessels that were found in the house of the 
 Lord, and in the treasures of the king's house, and 
 hostages, and returned' to Samaria. 
 
 15 VNow the rest of the acts of Jehoash which 
 he did, and his might, and how he fought with Ama- 
 ziah king of Judah, are they not written in the 
 book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel? 
 
 16 And Jehoash slept with his fathers, and was 
 buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and 
 Jeroboam his son reigned in his stead. 
 
 17 If* And Amaziah the son of Joash king of 
 Judah lived after the death of Jehoash son of Je- 
 hoahaz king of Israel fifteen years. 
 
 18 And the rest of the acts of Amaziah, are they

 ing to the word of the Lord God of Israel, which he 
 spake by the hand of his servant * Jonah, the son of 
 Amittai, the prophet, which was of r Gath-hepher. 
 
 26 For the Lord ''saw the affliction of Israel, thai 
 it was very bitter: for 'there was not arty shut up, 
 nor any left, nor any helper for Israel. 
 
 27 -/'And the Lord said not 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 Jeroboam, and aL 
 that he did, and his might, how he warred, and how 
 he recovered Damascus, and Hamath, g which be- 
 longed to Judah, for Israel, are they not written in 
 the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel? 
 
 29 And Jeroboam slept with his fathers, even 
 with the kings of Israel; and A Zachariah his son 
 reigned in his stead. 
 
 CHAP XV. 
 
 1 Azariah's good reign. 5 Jolham succeedeth him. 
 
 "N the twenty and seventh year of Jeroboam king 
 - of Israel "began 6 Azariah son of Amaziah king 
 of Judah to reign. 
 
 2 Sixteen years old was he when he began to 
 reign, and he reigned two and fifty years in Jeru- 
 salem. And his mother's name was Jecholiah of 
 Jerusalem. 
 
 3 And he did that which was right in the sight of 
 the Lord, according to all that his father Amaziah 
 had done; 
 
 4 '"Save that the high places were not removed: 
 the people sacrificed and burnt incense still on the 
 high places. 
 
 5 II And the Lord ''smote the king, so that he was 
 a leper unto the day of his death, and e dwelt in a 
 several 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 slept with his fathers; and ^they 
 buried him with his fathers in the city of Davicf; 
 and Jotham his son reigned in his stead. 
 
 8 Uln the thirty and eighth year of Azariah 
 king of Judah did Zachariah the son of Jeroboam 
 reign over Israel in Samaria six months. 
 
 I And he did that which was evil in the sight of the 
 
reign 
 king of 
 
 Tlie reigns of Mtnahem, Pekahiah, 
 
 Lord, as his filthors 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 conspired 
 against him, and s smote him before the people, and 
 slew him, and reigned in his stead. 
 
 11 And the rest of the acts of Zachariah, behold, 
 they are written in the book of the Chronicles of 
 the kings of Israel. 
 
 12 This was *the word of the Lord which he spake 
 un to Jehu, saying, Thy sons shall si t on the throne of Is- 
 rael unto the fornix generation. And so it came to pass. 
 
 13 If Shallum the son of .Jabesh began to 
 in tht njne and thirtieth year of 'Uzziah 
 Judah; and he reigned fa full 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 mr.de., behold, they are written 
 in the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel. 
 
 16 If Then Menahem smote 'Tiphsah, and all 
 that ivere therein, and the coasts thereof from Tir- 
 zah : 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 Azariah king 
 of Judah began Menahem the son of Gadi to reign 
 over Israel, and reigned ten years in Samaria. 
 
 18 And he did tha+ which tvas evil in the sight of 
 the Lord : he departed not all his days from the sins 
 of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin. 
 
 19 ^ And "I*u\ the king of Assyria came against 
 the land: and Menahem gave Pul a thousand talents 
 of silver, that his hand might be with him to "con- 
 firm the kingdom in his hand. 
 
 20' And Menahem f exacted the money of Israel, 
 wen 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 Assyria turned back, and stayed not 
 there in the land. 
 
 21 If And the rest of the acts of Menahem, and 
 all that he did, are they not written in the book 
 of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel? 
 
 22 And Menahem slept with his fathers; and 
 Pekahiah his son reigned in his stead. 
 
 23 If In the fiftieth year of Azariah king of Ju- 
 dah, Pekahiah the son of Menahem began to reign 
 over Israel in Samaria and reigned two years. 
 
 24 And he did that which was evil in the sight of 
 the Lord: he departed not from the sins of Jero- 
 boam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin. 
 
 25 But Pekah the son of Ilemaliah, a captain of 
 his, conspired against him, and smote him in Sama- 
 ria, in the palace of the king's house, with Argob 
 and Arieh, and with him fifty men of the Gilead- 
 ites : 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 written in tiie book 
 of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel. 
 
 27 If In the two and fiftieth year of Azariah king 
 of Judah, ''Pekah the son of Remaliah began to reign 
 over Israel in Samaria, and reigned twenty years. 
 
 28 And he did thai which was evil in the sight of 
 the Lord: he departed not from the sins of Jero- 
 boam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.

 that he did, behold, they are written in the book of 
 the Chronicles of the kings of Israel. 
 
 32 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 Je- 
 rusalem. And his mother's name was Jerusha. the 
 daughter of Zadok.

 of the Lord: he did * according to all that his father 
 Uzziah had done. 
 
 35 ^Howbeit, the high places were not removed:

 of the Lord. 
 
 36 If Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, ami 
 all that he did, are they not written in the book ot 
 the Chronicles of the kings of Judah? 
 
 37 In those days the Lord began to send against 
 Judah, "Rezin the king of Syria, and * Pekah the 
 son of Remaliah.

 IN the seventeenth year of Pekah the son ot Re-

 began to reign. 
 
 2 Twenty years old ivas Ahaz when he began to 
 reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem, and 
 did not that which was right in the sight of the Lord 
 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, ac- 
 cording to the r abominations of the heathen, whom 
 the Lord cast out from before the children of Israel. 
 
 4 And he sacrificed and burnt incense in the high 
 places, and ''on the hills, and under every green tree 
 
 5 If ''Then Rezin king of Syria and Pekah 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 •'recovered Elath 
 to Syria, .and drave the Jews from t Elath: and the 
 Syrians came to Elath, and dwelt there unto this day. 
 
 7 So Ahaz sent messengers *to f Tiglath-pileser 
 king of Assyria, saying, I am thy servant and thy 
 son: come up, and save me out of the hand of the 
 king of Syria, and out of the hand of the king of 
 Israel, which rise up against me. 
 
 8 And Ahaz ''took the silver and gold that was 
 found in the house of the Lord, 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 unto bin 
 for the king of Assyria went up against 1 Damascus. 
 and 'took it, and carried the people of it captive Iso 
 Kir, and slew Rezin.

Ahaz spoileth the temple. 
 
 10 IT And king Ahas wont to Damascus to meet 
 Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, and saw an altar 
 that was at Damascus: and king Ahaz sent toUrijah 
 the priest the fashion of the altar, and the pattern 
 of it. according to all the workmanship thereof. 
 
 11 And Urijah the priest built an altar accord- 
 ing to all that king Ahaz had sent from Damascus: 
 no Urijah the priest made it against king Ahaz came 
 from Damascus. 
 
 12 And when the king was come from Damascus, 
 the kino: saw the altar: and *the king approached 
 to the altar, and offered thereon. 
 
 13 And he burnt his burnt-offering and his meat- 
 offering, and poured his drink-offering, and sprinkled 
 the blood of f his peace-offerings upon the altar. 
 
 14 And he brought also the 'brazen altar, which 
 was before the Lord, from the forefront of the 
 house, from between the altar and the house of the 
 Lord, and put it on the north side of the altar. 
 
 15 And king Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, 
 saying, Upon the great altar burn m the morning 
 burnt-offering, and the evening meat-offering, and 
 the king's burnt-sacrifice, and his meat-offering, with 
 the burnt-offering of all the people of the land, and 
 their meat-offering, and their drink-offerings; and 
 sprinkle upon it all the blood of the burnt-offering, 
 and all the blood of the sacrifice : and the 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 /'the sea from off the brazen oxen that 
 were under it, and put it upon a pavement of stones. 
 
 18 And the covert for the sabbath that they had 
 built in the house, and the king's entry without, 
 turned he from the house of the Lord 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 Chroni-

 20 And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and '"was 
 buried with his fathers in the city of David : and 
 llezekiah his son reigned in his stead.

 Hoshea' s wicked reign. 
 
 IN the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah began 
 Hoshea the son of Elah, to reign in Samaria 
 over Israel nine years. 
 
 2 And he did that which was evil in the sight of 
 tue Lord, but not as the kings of Israel that were 
 before him. 
 
 3 IF Against him came up * Shalmaneser king of 
 Assyria; and Hoshea became his servant, and fgave 
 him || presents. 
 
 4 And the king of Assyria found conspiracy in 
 Hoshea: for he had sent messengers to So king of 
 Egypt, and brought no present to the king of Assyria, 
 as he had done year by year: therefore the king of 
 Assyria shut him up, and bound him in prison.

 Israel carried xway captive 
 
 ned against the Lord their God, which had brought 
 them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand 
 of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods, 
 
 8 And * walked in the statutes of the heathen 
 whom the Lord 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 the Lord their 
 God, and they built them high places in all their cities, 
 A from the tow r er of the watchmen to the fenced city. 
 
 10 'And they set them up f images 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 the Lord carried 
 away before them; and wrought wicked things to 
 provoke the Lord to anger: 
 
 12 For they served idols, ""whereof the Lord had 
 said unto them, "Ye shall not do this thing. 
 
 1 3 Yet the Lord testified against Israel, and against 
 Judah, fby all the prophets, and by all "the seers, say- 
 ing, ''Turn ye from your evil ways, and keep ny 
 commandments, and my statutes, according to all 
 the law w T hich I commanded your fathers, and which 
 I sent to you by my servants the prophets. 
 
 14 Notwithstanding, they would not hear, but 
 'hardened their necks, like to the neck of their fa • 
 thers, that did not believe in the Lord their God. 
 
 15 And they rejected his statutes, r and his cove- 
 nant that he made with their fathers, and his testi- 
 monies which he testified against them; and they 
 followed 'vanity, and 'became vain, and went after 
 the heathen that ivere round about them, concerning 
 whom the Lord had charged them, that they should 
 "not do like them. 
 
 16 And they left all the commandments of the 
 Lord their God, and ^made them molten images, 
 even two calves, y and made a grove, and worshipped 
 all the host of heaven, z and served Baal. 
 
 17 "And they caused their sons and their daugh- 
 ters to pass through the fire, and 'used divination 
 and enchantments, and c sold themselves to do evil 
 in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger. 
 
 18 Therefore the Lord was very angry with 
 Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there 
 was none left ''but the tribe of Judah only. 
 
 19 Also 'Judah kept not the commandments of 
 the Lord their God, but walked in the statutes of 
 Israel which they made. 
 
 20 And the Lord 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 s he rent Israel from the house of David; 
 and Hhey made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king: 
 and Jeroboam drave Israel from following the Lord, 
 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 the Lord removed Israel out of his 
 sight, 'as he had said by all his servants the pro- 
 phets. *So was Israel carried away out of theii 
 own land to Assyria unto this day. 
 
 24 IF' 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. 
 
A mixture of religions. 
 
 CHAP. XV11I 
 
 25 And so it was at the beginning of their dwell- 
 ing there, that they feared not the Lord: therefore 
 the Lord sent lions among them, which slew some 
 of them. 
 
 26 Wherefore they spake to the king of Assyria, 
 saying, The nations which thou hast removed, and 
 placed in the cities of Samaria, know not the manner 
 of the God of the land : therefore he hath sent lions 
 among them, and behold, they slay them, because 
 they know not the manner 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 manner of the God of the land. 
 
 28 Then one of the priests whom they had car- 
 ried away from Samaria came and dwelt in Beth-el, 
 and taught them how they should fear the Lord. 
 
 29 Howbeit, every nation made gods of their 
 own, and put them in the houses of the high places 
 which the Samaritans had made, every nation in 
 their cities wherein they d\v°lt. 
 
 30 And the men of "Babylon made Succoth- 
 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 Adram- 
 melech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim. 
 
 32 So they feared the Lord, 'and made unto 
 themselves of the lowest of them priests of the high 
 places, which sacrificed for them in the houses of 
 the high places. 
 
 33 'They feared the Lord, and served their own 
 gods, after the manner of the nations || whom they 
 carried away from thence. 
 
 34 Unto this day they do after the former man- 
 ners : they fear not the Lord, neither do they after 
 their statutes, or after their ordinances, or after the 
 law arid commandment which the Lord commanded 
 the children of Jacob, 'whom he named Israel; 
 
 35 With whom the Lord had made a covenant, 
 and charged them, saying, "Ye shall not fear other 
 gods, nor 'bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, 
 nor sacrifice to them : 
 
 36 But the Lord, who brought you up out of the 
 land of Egypt with great power and y & stretched-out 
 arm, *him shall ye fear, and him shall ye worship, 
 and to him shall ye do sacrifice. 
 
 37 And the statutes, and the ordinances, 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 
 "ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear other gods. 
 
 39 But the Lord your God ye shall fear; and he 
 shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies. 
 
 40 Howbeit they did not hearken, but they did 
 after their former manner. 
 
 41 c So these nations feared the Lord, and served 
 their graven images, both their children;, and their 
 children's children : as did their fathers, so do they 
 unto this day.

 to reign; and he reigned twenty and nine 
 years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was 
 *Abi the daughter of Zachariah. 
 
 3 And he did that which tvas right in the sight of 
 the Lord, according to all that David his father did. 
 
 4 If 'He removed the high places, and brake the 
 t images, and cut down the groves, and brake w> 
 pieces the ''brazen serpent that Moses had mnde 
 for unto those da} r s the children of Israel did burn 
 incense to it: and he called it HNehushtan. 
 
 5 He 'trusted in the Lord God of Israel; / so that 
 after him was none like him among all the kings of 
 Judah, nor any that were before him. 
 
 6 For he s clave to the Lord, and departed not 
 ffrom following him, but kept his commandments, 
 which the Lord commanded Moses. 
 
 7 And the Lord A was with him: and he 'pros- 
 pered whithersoever he went forth : and he ''rebelled 
 against the king of Assyria, and served him not. 
 
 8 'He smote the Philistines, even unto fGaza, 
 and the borders thereof, ""from the tower of the 
 watchmen to the fenced city. 
 
 9 H And "it came to pass in the fourth year of kin*.; 
 Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son 
 of Elah king of Israel, that Shalmaneser king of As 
 syria 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 
 unto Assyria, and put them ? in Halah and in Habor 
 by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes : 
 
 12 r Because they obeyed not the voice of the 
 Lord their God, but transgressed his covenant, and 
 all that Moses the servant of the Lord command- 
 ed, and would not hear them, nor do them. 
 
 13 IF Now 'in the fourteenth year of king Heze- 
 kiah did f Sennacherib king of Assyria come up 
 against all the fenced cities of Judah, and took them 
 
 14 And Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king 
 of Assyria to Lachish, saying, I have offended ; re- 
 turn from me: that which thou puttest on me 1 
 will bear. And the king of Assyria appointed unto 
 Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of 
 silver and thirty talents of gold. 
 
 15 And Hezekiah 'gave him all the silver tha* 
 was found in the house of the Lord, and in the 
 treasures of the king's house. 
 
 16 At that time did Hezekiah cut off the gold from 
 the doors of the temple of the Lord, and from the 
 pillars which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, 
 and gave f it to the king of Assyria. 
 
 Yt HAnd the king of Assyria sent Tartan and 
 Rabsaris and Rab-shakeh from Lachish to king 
 Hezekiah with a fg rea t host against Jerusalem: 
 and they went up, and came to Jerusalem: and 
 when they were come up, they came and stood by 
 the conduit of the upper pool, " which is in the high- 
 way of the fuller's field. 
 
 18 And when they had called to the king, there 
 came out to them Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, which 
 was over the household, and Shebna the || scribe, 
 and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder. 
 
 19 And Rab-shakeh said unto them, Speak ye 
 now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, tne 
 king of Assyria, * What confidence is this wherein 
 thou trustest? 
 
 20 Thou || sayest, (but they are but f vain words,) \\J 
 
 265 
 
Rixb-shaJccJis blasphemy. 
 
 have counsel and strength for the war. Now on whom 
 dost thou trust, that thou rehellest against me? 
 
 21 y Now behold, thou f trustest upon the staff of 
 this bruised reed, even upon Egypt, on which if a 
 man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it; so is 
 Pharaoh king of Egypt unto all that trust on him. 
 
 22 But if yo say unto me, We trust in the Lord 
 our God. is not that he z whose high places and 
 whose altars Eezekiah hath taken away, and hath 
 said to Judah and Jerusalem, Ye shall worship be- 
 fore this altar in Jerusalem? 
 
 23 Now therefore, I pray thee, give || pledges 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 upon them. 
 
 24 How then wilt thou turn away the face of one 
 captain of the least of my master's servants, and put 
 thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen? 
 
 25 Am I now come up without the Lord against 
 this place to destroy it? The Lord said to me, Go 
 up against this land, and destroy it. 
 
 26 Then said Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and 
 Shebna, and Joah, unto Rab-shakeh, Speak, I pray 
 thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language; for 
 we understand it: and talk not with us in the Jews' 
 language in the ears of the people that are on the 
 wall. 
 
 27 But Rab-shakeh said unto them, Hath my 
 master sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak 
 these words ? hath he not sent me to the men which 
 sit on the wall, that they may eat their own dung, 
 and drink f their own piss with you? 
 
 28 Then Rab-shakeh stood and cried with a loud 
 voice in the Jews' language, and spake, saying, Hear 
 the word of the great king, the king of Assyria: 
 
 29 Thus saith the king, "Let not Hezekiah de- 
 ceive you : for he shall not be able to deliver you 
 out of his hand : 
 
 30 Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the 
 juOrd", saying, The Lord will surely deliver us, and 
 this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the 
 king of Assyria. 
 
 31 Hearken not to Hezekiah : for thus saith the 
 king of Assyria, || t Make an agreement with me by 
 a present, 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 3 r ou away to a land 
 like your own land, 6 a lauti of corn and wine, a land 
 of bread and vinej^ards, a land of oil-olive and of 
 honey, that ye may live, and not die : and hearken 
 not unto Hezekiah, when he || persuadeth } r ou, say- 
 ing, the Lord will deliver us. 
 
 33 c Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered 
 at all his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria ? 
 
 34 ''Where are the gods of Hamath, and of Arpad ? 
 where are the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and e I\a]\ ? 
 have they delivered Samaria out of mine hand ? 
 
 35 Who are they among all the gods of the 
 countries that have delivered their country out of 
 mine hand, -/'that the Lord should deliver Jerusalem 
 out of mine hand ? 
 
 36 But the people held their peace, and an- 
 swered him not a word: for the kings command- 
 ment was, saying, Answer him not. 
 
 37 Then came Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, which 
 wus over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and 
 ''oah th* 1 son of A«aph the recorder, to Hezekiah

 AND "it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard 
 it, that he rent his clothes, and covered himself 
 with sackcloth, and went into the house of the Lord, 
 
 2 And he sent Eliakim, which was over the 
 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 unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, 
 This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, an' 1 
 II blasphemy: for the children are come to the birth, 
 and there i# not strength to bring forth. 
 
 4 c It may be the Lord thy God will hear all the 
 words of Rab-shakeh, d whom the king of Assyria 
 his master hath sent to reproach the living God ; 
 and will 'reprove the words which the Lord thy 
 God hath heard : wherefore lift up thy prayer for 
 the remnant that are f left. 
 
 5 So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah. 
 
 6 1^ And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say to 
 your master, Thus saith the Lord, Be not afraid of 
 the words which thou hast heard, with which the ^ ser- 
 vants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me. 
 
 7 Behold, I will send ''a blast upon him, and he 
 shall hear a rumour, and shall return to his own 
 land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in 
 his own land. 
 
 8 IT So Rab-shakeh returned, and found the king 
 of Assyria warring against Libnah : for he had 
 heard that he was departed 'from Lachish. 
 
 9 And *when he heard say of Tirhakah king of 
 Ethiopia, Behold, he is come out to fight against tl ee : 
 he sent messengers again unto Hezekiah, saying, 
 
 10 Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Ju- 
 dah, saying, Let not thy God 'in whom thou trust- 
 est deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem 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 destroying them 
 utterly : and shalt thou be delivered ? 
 
 12 m Have the gods of the nations delivered them 
 which my fathers have destroyed ; as Gozan, and 
 Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of "Eden 
 which ivere in Thelasar? 
 
 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 IK And Hezekiah received the letter of the 
 hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah 
 went up into the house of the Lord, and spread it 
 before the Lord. 
 
 15 And Hezekiah prayed before the Lord and 
 said, O Lord God of Israel, 'which dwellest between 
 the cherubims, r thou art the God, even thou alone, 
 of all the kingdoms of the earth; thou hast made 
 heaven and earth. 
 
 16 Lord, 'bow down thine ear, and hear: 'open, 
 Lord, thine eyes, and see : and hear the words of 
 Sennacherib, "which hath sent him to reproach the 
 living God. 
 
 17 Of a truth, Lord, the kings of Assyria have 
 destroyed the nations and their lands, 
 
 18 And have f cast their gods into the fire : for they 
 were no gods, but 'the work of men's hands, wood 
 and stone : therefore they have destroyed them. 
 
imiah propheniflh Sennacherib's destruction. 
 
 19 Now therefore, Lokd our God, 1 beseech 
 thee, save thou us out of his hand, tf that all the 
 Kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the 
 Lord God, even thou only. 
 
 20 IF Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Ileze- 
 kiah, saying, Thus saith the Loan God of Israel, 
 
 That which thou hast prayed to me against Senna- 
 ?herib king of Assyria fl I have heard. 
 
 21 This is the word that the Lord hath spoken 
 
 CHAP. XX. 
 
 concerning him; The virgin *the daughter of Zion 
 
 nath despised thee, and laughed thee to .scorn; the 
 daughter of Jerusalem f hath shaken her head at thee. 
 
 22 Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? 
 ind against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, and 
 lifted up thine eyes on high? even against the ''Holy 
 One of Israel. 
 
 23 f'By thy messengers thou hast reproached 
 the Lord, and hast said. J With the multitude of my 
 chariots I am come up to the height of the moun- 
 tains, to the sides of Lebanon, and will cut down 
 fthe tall cedar-trees thereof, and the choice fir-trees 
 thereof: and I will enter into the lodgings of his 
 borders, and into || the forest of his Carmel. 
 
 24 I have digged and drunk strange waters, and 
 with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the 
 rivers of || besieged places. 
 
 25 || Hast thou not heard long ago hoiv g l have 
 done it, and of ancient times that 1 have formed it? 
 now have I brought it to pass, that Hhou shouldest 
 be to lay waste fenced cities into ruinous heaps. 
 
 26 Therefore their inhabitants were fof small 
 power, they were dismayed and confounded; they 
 were as the grass of the field, and as the green 
 herb, as 'the grass on the house-tops, and as corn 
 blasted before it be grown up. 
 
 27 But k l know thy || abode, 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, therefore 'I will put my hook 
 in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will 
 turn thee back m by the way b"* r which thou earnest. 
 
 29 And this shall be "a sign unto thee, Ye shall 
 eat this year such things as grow of themselves, and 
 in the second year that which springe th of the 
 same ; and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and 
 plant vine} r ards, and eat the fruits thereof. 
 
 30 "And fthe remnant that is escaped of the 
 house of Judah shall }^et again take root downward, 
 and bear fruit upward. 
 
 31 For out oi Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, 
 and fthey that escape out of mount Zion: /J the 
 zeal of the Lord of hosts shall do this. 
 
 32 Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning 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 
 the Lord. 
 
 34 For ? I will defend this city, to save it, for 
 mine own sake, and 'for my servant David's sake. 
 
 35 HAnd *it came to pass that night, that the 
 angel of the Lord went out, and smote in the camp 
 of the Assyrians an hundred fourscore and five 
 thousand : and when they arose early in the morn- 
 ing, behold, they were all dead corpses. 
 
 36 So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and 
 went and returned, and dwelt at 'Nineveh

 CHAP. XX. 
 
 1 Hezekiah, by prayer, hath hi* life lengthened. 20 Manasseh tuccenlrth 
 
 him. 
 
 IN "those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And 
 the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, 
 and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, fSet thine 
 house in order; for thou shalt die, and not lives. 
 
 2 Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed 
 unto the Lord, saying, 
 
 3 I beseech thee, O Lord, ''remember now how 1 
 have r walked before thee in truth and with a per- 
 fect heart, and have done that which is good in thy 
 sight. And Hezekiah wept fsore. 
 
 4 And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone 
 out into the middle || court, that the word of'tho 
 Lord came to him, saying, 
 
 5 Turn again, and tell Hezekiah rf the captain of 
 my people, Thus saith the Lord, the God of David 
 thy father, e l have heard thy prayer, I have seen 
 'thy tears : behold, I will heal thee : on the third 
 day thou shalt go up unto the house of the Lord. 
 
 6 And I will add unto thy days fifteen years; and 
 I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of 
 the king of Assyria; and g I will defend this city for 
 mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake. 
 
 7 And ''Isaiah said, Take a lump of figs. And 
 they took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered. 
 
 8 II And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, ' What shall be 
 the sign that the Lord will heal me, and that I shall 
 go up into the house of the Lord the third day? 
 
 9 And Isaiah said, * This sign shalt thou have of 
 the Lord, that the Lord 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 light thing 
 for the shadow to go down ten degrees: nay, but 
 let the shadow return backward ten degrees. 
 
 11 And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the Lord: 
 and 'he brought the shadow ten degrees backward, 
 by which it had gone down in the t dial of Ahaz. 
 
 12 H m At that time || Berodach-baladan, the son 
 of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a 
 present unto Hezekiah: for he had heard that He- 
 zekiah had been sick. 
 
 13 And "Hezekiah hearkened unto them, and 
 shewed them all the house of his || precious things, 
 the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the 
 precious ointment, and all the house of his fl farmour, 
 and all that was found in his treasures: there was 
 nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that 
 Hezekiah shewed them not. 
 
 14 IF Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king 
 Hezekiah, and said unto him, What said these 
 men? and from whence came they unto thee? And 
 Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country, 
 even from Bab}don. 
 
 15 And he said, What have they seen in thine 
 house ? And Hezekiah answered, "All the things that 
 are in mine house have they seen : there is nothjng 
 among my treasures that I have not shewed them. 
 
 16 And Isaiah said unto Hezekiah, Hear the 
 word of the Lord. 
 
 17 Behold, the davs come, that all that is in thine

 house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in 
 store unto this day, p shall he carried into Babylon: 
 nothing shall be left, saith the Lord. 
 
 18 And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, which 
 thou shalt beget, "shall they take away; Hand they 
 shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon. 
 
 19 Then said Hezekiah unto Isaiah, r Good is the 
 word of the Lord which thou hast spoken. And 
 he said, || Is it not good, if peace and truth be in my 
 days? ' 
 
 20 II' And the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and all 
 his might, and how he 'made a pool, and a conduit, 
 and "brought water into the city, are they not written 
 in the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah ? 
 
 21 And * Hezekiah slept with his fathers: and 
 Manasseh his son reigned in his stead. 
 
 CHAP. XXI. 
 
 1 Manasse.'i's reign. 3 His great idolatry. 
 
 MANASSEH "ivas twelve years old when he be- 
 gan to reign, and reigned fifty and five years in 
 Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hephzi-bah. 
 
 2 And he did that tvhich was evil in the sight of 
 the Lord, *after the abominations of the heathen, 
 whom the Lord cast out before the children of Israel. 
 
 3 For he built up again the high places c which 
 Flezekiah 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 She built altars in the house of the Lord, 
 of which the Lord said, *In Jerusalem Avill I put 
 my name. 
 
 5 And he built altars for all the host of heaven 
 in the two courts of the house of the Lord. 
 
 6 A And he made his son pass through the fire, 
 and observed 'times, and used enchantments, and 
 dealt with familiar spirits and wizards: he wrought 
 much wickedness in the sight of the Lord, to pro- 
 voke him to anger. 
 
 7 And he set a graven image of the grove that he 
 had made in the house, of which the Lord said to 
 David, and to Solomon his son, * In this house, and 
 in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the 
 tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever : 
 
 8 'Neither will I make the feet of Israel move 
 any more out of the land which I gave their fathers; 
 miy if they will observe to do according to all that 
 I have commanded them, and according to all the 
 law that my servant Moses commanded them. 
 
 9 But they hearkened not: and Manasseh '"se- 
 duced them to do more evil than did the nations whom 
 the Lord destroyed before the children of Israel. 
 
 10 II And the Lord spake 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, which were before him, 
 and ''hath made Judah also to sin \x\Va his idols: 
 
 12 Therefore thus saith the Lord God of Israel, 
 Behold, I am bringing such evil upon Jerusalem and 
 Judah, that whosoever heareth of it, both ''his ears 
 shall tingle. 
 
 13 And I will stretch over Jerusalem r the line of 
 Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab : 
 and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipeth a dish, 
 
 wiping it, Mid turning it upside down. 
 
 14 And I will forsake the remnant of mine in- 
 heritance, aDd deliver them into the hand of their

 enemies; and they shall become a prey and a spoil 
 to all their enemies; 
 
 15 Because they have done that which was evil 
 in my sight, and have provoked me to anger, since 
 the day their fathers came forth out of Egypt, even 
 unto this day. 
 
 16 'Moreover, Manasseh shed innocent blood 
 very much, till he had filled Jerusalem ffrom ono 
 end to another; beside his sin wherewith he made 
 Judah to sin, in doing that which was evil in the 
 sight of the Lord. 
 
 17 H Now 'the rest of the acts of Manasseh, 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 slept 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 11 x Amon was twenty and two years old wher. 
 he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Je- 
 rusalem. And his mother's name teas Meshulle- 
 meth, the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah. 
 
 20 And he did thai which was evil in the sight 
 of the Lord, »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 them: 
 
 22 And he z forsook the Lord God of his fathers, 
 and walked not in the way of the Lord. 
 
 23 IT" And the servants of Amon conspired against 
 him, and slew the king in his own house. 
 
 24 And the people of the land slew all them that 
 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 w r ritten in the book of the Chroni- 
 cles of the kings of Judah? 
 
 20 And he was buried in his sepulchre in the garden 
 of Uzza: and 6 Josiah his son reigned in his stead. 
 CHAP. XXII. 
 
 1 Josiah' 's good reign. 8 Hilkiahfinde'.k <,~ki booh of the law. 
 
 JOSIAH "was eight years old when he began to 
 reign, and fee reigned thirty and one years in 
 Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jedidah 
 the daughter of Adaiah of 'Boscath. 
 
 2 And he did that tvhich was right in the sight of 
 the Lord, and walked in all the way of David his 
 father, and c turned not aside to the right hand or 
 to the left. 
 
 3 T'And it came to pass in the eighteenth year 
 of king Josiah, that the king sent Shaphan the son 
 of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the 
 house of the Lord, saying, 
 
 4 Go up to Hilkian the high priest, that he may 
 sum the silver which is c brought into the house of 
 the Lord, which J " the keepers of the fdoor have 
 gathered of the people : 
 
 5 And let them e deliver it into the hand of thej 
 doers of the work, that have the oversight of the 
 house of the Lord : and let them give it to ihe 
 doers of the work, which is in the liouse of the 
 Lord, to repair the breaches of the house, 
 
 6 Unto carpenters, and builders, and masons, and 
 to buy timber and hewn stone to repair the house. 
 
 7 Howbeit, A there was no reckoning made with 
 them of the money that was delivered into theii 
 hand, because they dealt faithfully. 
 
 8 II And Hilkiah the high priest said unto Shaphao 
 
gave 
 
 the book to 
 
 Haldafis prophecy. 
 
 the scribe, *I have found the book of the law in the 
 house of the Loud. And Hilkiah 
 Sliaphan, and he read it. 
 
 9 And Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and 
 brought the king word again, and said, Thy ser- 
 vants have f gathered the money that was found in 
 the house, and have delivered it into the hand of 
 them that do the work, lhat have the oversight of 
 the house of the Lord. 
 
 10 And Shaphan the scribe shewed the king, 
 saying, Hilkiah the priest hath delivered 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 the Lord for me, and for the 
 people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of 
 this book that is found : for great is 'the wrath of the 
 Lord that is kindled against us, because our fathers 
 have not hearkened unto the words of this book, to do 
 according unto all that which is written concerning us. 
 
 14 So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Aeh- 
 bor, and Shaphan, and Asahiah, went unto Huldah 
 the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of 
 "Tikvah, the son of || Harhas, keeper of the f ward- 
 robe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem || in the college;) 
 and they communed with her. 
 
 15 IF And she said unto them, Thus saith the Lord 
 God of Israel, Tell the man that sent you to me, 
 
 16 Thus saith the Lord, Behold, "I will bring 
 evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants 
 thereof, even all the words of the book which the 
 king of Judah hath read : 
 
 17 "Because they have forsaken me, and have 
 burned incense unto other gods, that they might 
 provoke me to anger with all the works of their 
 hands; therefore my wrath shall be kindled against 
 this place, and shall not be quenched. 
 
 18 But to ''the king of Judah which sent you to 
 inquire of the Lord, thus shall ye say to him, Thus 
 saith the Lord God of Israel, As touching the words 
 which thou hast heard; 
 
 19 Because thine 'heart was tender, and thou hast 
 humbled thyself before the Lord, when thou heard- 
 
 cst what I spake against this place, and against the 
 inhabitants thereof, that they should become 'a deso- 
 lation aud ' a curse, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept 
 before me; I also have heard thee, saith the Lord. 
 
 20 Behold therefore, I will gather thee unto 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.

 2 And the king went up into the house of the Lord, 
 and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of 
 Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the pro-

 he read in their ears all the words of the book of the

 covenant before the Lonn, t<» walk after the Loud, 
 and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies, 
 and his statutes, with all their heart, and all their 
 soul, to perform the words of this covenant that 
 were written in this book. And all the people 
 stood to the covenant, 
 
 4 And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest 
 and the priests of the second order, and the keepera 
 of the door, to bring forth out of the temple of the 
 Loud all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for 
 "the grove, and for all the host of heaven: and he 
 burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of Ki- 
 dron, and carried the ashes of them unto Beth-el. 
 
 5 And he fput down fthe idolatrous 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 ; them also that burn- 
 ed incense unto Baal, to the sun, and to the moon 
 and to the || planets, and to 'all the host of heaven 
 
 6 And he brought out the •'grove from the house of 
 the Lord, without Jerusalem, unto the brook Kidron, 
 and burned it at the brook Kidron, and stamped it 
 small to powder, and cast the powder thereof upon 
 A 'the graves of the children of the people. 
 
 7 And he brake down the houses *of the sodom- 
 ites that were by the house of the Lord, 'where the 
 women wove t Hangings 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 burnt incense, from *Gebato Beer-sheha, 
 and brake 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 can e 
 not up to the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem, "'but they 
 did eat of the unleavened bread anions; their brethren. 
 
 10 And he defiled "Topheth, wnich is in "the 
 valley of the children of Hinnom, ''that no man 
 might make his son or his daughter to pass through 
 the fire to Molech. 
 
 11 And he took away the horses that the kings 
 of Judah had given to the sun, at the entering in of 
 the house of the Lord, by the chamber of Nathan- 
 melech the || chamberlain, which ivas in the suburbs, 
 and burned the chariots of the sun with fire, 
 
 12 And the altars that were q on the top of the 
 upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah 
 had made, and the altars which ' Manasseh had made 
 in the two courts ot' the house of the Lord, did the 
 king beat down, and || brake them down from thence, 
 and cast the dust of them into the brook Kidron. 
 
 13 And the high places that were before Jerusa- 
 lem, which ivcre on the right hand of || the mount of 
 Corruption, which 'Solomon the king of Israel had 
 builded for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Zido- 
 nians, and for Chemosh the abomination of the 
 Moabites, and for Mileom the abomination of the 
 children of Ammon, did the king defile. 
 
 14 And he 'brake in pieces the ti mflf?, es, ; ir| d 
 cut down the groves, and filled their places with 
 the bones of men. 
 
 15 H Moreover, the altar that tvas at Beth-el, ana 
 the hio;h place "which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who 
 made Israel to sin, had made, both that altar ancMhe 
 high place he brake down, and burned the high place, 
 and stamped it small to powder, and burned the irrove. 
 
 16 And as Josiah 
 
 turned

 himself, he spied the 
 
Josiah slain at Megiddo. 
 
 sepulchres that were there in the mount, and sent, 
 and took the hones out of the sepulchres, and hurned 
 them upon the altar, and polluted it, according to 
 the 'word of the Loan which the man of God pro- 
 claimed, who proclaimed these words. 
 
 17 Then he said, What title is that that I see? 
 And the men of the city told him, // is y the sepulchre 
 of the man of God, which came from Judah, and 
 proclaimed t^ese things that thou hast done against 
 the altar of Beth-el. 
 
 18 And he said, Let him alone; let no man move 
 his hones. So they let his bones f alone, with the 
 bones of I the prophet that came out of Samaria. 
 
 19 And all the houses also of the high places that 
 were "in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of 
 Israel had made to provoke the LORD to anger, 
 Josiah took away, and did to them according to all 
 the acts that he had done in Beth-el. 
 
 20 And 6 he H'slew all the priests of the high 
 places that were there upon the altars, and "burned 
 men's bones upon them, and returned to Jerusalem. 
 
 21 IT And the king commanded all the people, 
 saying, 'Keep the passover unto the Lord your God, 
 ■'as it is written in the bock of this covenant. 
 
 22 Surely g 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, where- 
 in this passover was holden to the Lord in Jerusalem. 
 
 24 If Moreover, ''the workers with familiar spirits, 
 and the wizards, and the || images, and the idols, 
 and all the abominations that were spied 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 Iiilkiah the priest 
 found in the house of the Lord. 
 
 25 * And like unto him wastherenokingbeforehim, 
 that turned to the Lord 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 anjj like him. 
 
 26 II Notwithstanding, the Lord turned not from 
 the fierceness of his great wrath, wherewith his anger 
 was kindled against Judah, 'because of all the f Pro- 
 vocations that Manasseh had provoked him withal. 
 
 27 And the Lord said, I wdl remove Judah also 
 out of my sight, as '" I have removed 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 H°In his days Pharaoh-nechoh king of Egypt 
 went up against the king of Assyria to the river 
 Euplnates: and king Josiah went against him; and 
 he sh v, .v him at ^ Megiddo, when he 'had seen him. 
 
 30 r And his servants carried him in a chariot dead 
 from Megiddo, 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 anoint- 
 ed him, and made him king in his father's stead. 
 
 31 II || Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old 
 when he began to reign; and he reigned three 
 months in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was 
 
 Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah. 
 
 3'4 And he did that which was evil in the sight of 
 the Cord, according to all that his fathers had done.

 35 And Jehoiakim gave Hhe silver and the gold

 he exacted the silver and the gold of the people of 
 the land, of every one according to his taxation, to 
 give it unto Pharaoh-nechoh. 
 
 36 H c Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old 
 when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven 
 years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was

 37 And he did that which was evil in the sight of 
 the Lord, according to all that his fathers had done.

 8 .Teh oia chin's evil reign. 10 Jerusalem is taken. 
 
 IN "his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babvlon 
 came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant throe 
 years : then he turned and rebelled against him. 
 
 2 *And the Lord sent against him bands of ihe 
 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, 'accord- 
 ing to the word of the Lord, which he spake fby 
 his servants the prophets. 
 
 3 Surely at the commandment of the Lord came 
 this upon Judah, to remove them out of his sight, rf 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 
 the Lord would not pardon. 
 
 5 II 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 kina;s of Judah? 
 
 6 ■''So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers : and Je- 
 hoiachin his son reigned in his stead. 
 
 7 And *the king of Egypt came not again any 
 more out of his land: for ''the king of Babylon had 
 taken from the river of Egypt unto the river Eu- 
 phrates all that pertained to the king of Egypt. 
 
 8 1I|| 'Jehoiacnin ivas eighteen years old when he 
 began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem three 
 months. And his mother's name was Nehushta, the 
 daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem. 
 
 9 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the 
 Lord, according to all that his father had done. 
 
 10 II* At that time the servants of Nebuchad- 
 nezzar king of Babylon came up against Jerusalem, 
 and the city fwas besieged. 
 
 11 And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon 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 ser- 
 vants, and his princes, and his || officers : "'and the kin? 
 of Babylon " took him 'in the eighth year of his reian. 
 
 13 7 'And he carried out thence all the treasures of 
 the house of the Lord, and the treasures of tbe 
 king's house, and 'cut in pieces all the vessels oi 
 gold which Solomon king of Israel had made in the 
 temple of the Lord, r as the Lord had said. 
 
 14 And 'he carried away all Jerusalem, and all the 
 princes, and all the mighty men of valour, 'even ten 
 thousand captives, and "all the craftsman, and smiths : 
 
Zalckiafi's eyes put out. 
 
 none remained, save 'the poorest sort of the peo- 
 ple of the land. 
 
 15 And "he carried away Jehoiachin to Baby- 
 lon, and the king's mother, and the king's wives, 
 and his || officers, and the mighty of the land, those 
 carried he into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon. 
 
 16 And z all the men of might, even seven thou- 
 sand, and craftsmen, and smiths a thousand, all th<d 
 were strong and apt for war, even them the king of 
 Babylon brought captive to Babylon. 
 
 1/ IT And "the king of Babylon made Mattaniah 
 ''his father's brother king in his stead, and f 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 mother's name was e llamutal, 
 the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah. 
 
 19 J And he did that which was evil in the sight of 
 the Lord, according to all that Jehoiakim had done. 
 
 20 For through the anger of the Lord it came 
 to pass in Jerusalem, and Judah, until he had cast 
 them out from his presence, s that Zedekiah rebelled 
 against the king of Babvlon. 
 
 CHAP. XXV. 
 
 Zedekiah taken, his sons slain, and his eyes put out. 
 
 AND it came to pass "in the ninth year of his 
 reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the 
 month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, 
 he, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and pitched 
 against it; and they built forts against it round about. 
 
 2 And the city was besieged unto the eleventh 
 year of king Zedekiah. 
 
 3 And on the ninth day of the b fourth month 
 the famine prevailed in the city, and there was no 
 bread for the people of the land. 
 
 4 II And c the city was broken up, and all the men 
 of war fled by night by the way of the gate be- 
 tween two walls, which is by the king's garden : 
 ( now the Chaldees were against the city round about;) 
 and ''the king went the way toward the plain. 
 
 5 And the army of the Chaldees pursued after 
 the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho : 
 and all nis army were scattered from him. 
 
 6 So they took the king, and brought him up to 
 the king of Babylon e to Riblah; and they fg ave 
 judgment upon him. 
 
 7 And t'hey slew the sons of Zedekiah before his 
 eyes, and f y put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound 
 him with fetters of brass, and carried him to Babylon. 
 
 8 IF And in the fifth month, *on the seventh day 
 of the month, (which is ''the nineteenth year of 
 king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon,) 'came 
 Nebuzar-adan, || captain of the guard, a servant of 
 the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem : 
 
 9 *And he burnt the house of the Lord, 'and the 
 king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and 
 every great mans house burnt he with fire. 
 
 10 And all the army of the Chaldees, that were 
 with the captain of the guard, ""brake down the 
 walls of Jerusalem round about. 
 
 11 "Now the rest of the people that were left in the 
 city, and the f fugitives 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 of the poor 
 of the land to be vine-dressers and husbandmen.

 And 'the pots, and the shovels, and the snuf-

 wherewith they ministered, took they 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, feme sea, and the bases which 
 Solomon had made for the house of the Lord; "tho 
 brass of all these vessels was without weight. 
 
 17 J The height of the one pillar was eighteen 
 cubits, and the chapiter upon it was brass: and the 
 height of the chapiter three cubits; and the wreathen 
 work, and pomegranates upon the chapiter rounu 
 about, all of brass: and like unto these had the 
 second pillar with wreathen work. 
 
 18 IF y And the captain of the guard took z Seraiah 
 the chief priest, and "Zephaniah the second priest, 
 and the three keepers of the fdoor: 
 
 19 And out of the city he took an || officer that was 
 set over the men of war, and 6 five men of them that 
 f were in the king's presence, which were found in 
 the city, and the || principal scribe of the host, which 
 mustered the people of the land, and threescore men 
 of the people of the land that were found in the city: 
 
 20 And Nebuzar-adan captain of the guard took these, 
 and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah : 
 
 21 And the king of Babylon smote them, and 
 slew them at Riblah in the land of Ilamath. c So 
 Judah was carried away out of their land. 
 
 22 IF ''And as for the people that remained in the 
 land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Ba- 
 bylon had left, even over them he made Gedaliab 
 the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, ruler. 
 
 23 And when all the 'captains of the armies, the> 
 and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had 
 made Gedaliah governor, there came to Gedaliab tc 
 Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, anc 
 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 sware to them, and to theii 
 men, and said unto 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 Eli- 
 shama, of the seed f 'royal, came, and ten men with 
 him, and smote Gedaliah, 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, *and came to Egypt: 
 for they were afraid of the Chaldees. 
 
 27 IF * And it came to pass in the seven and thir- 
 tieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Ju- 
 dah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and twen- 
 tieth 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 spake f kindly to him, and set his throne 
 above the throne of the kings that were with him in 
 Babylon ; 
 
 29 And changed his prison garments: and he did *e>il

 The line of Reuben unto the captivity. 
 
 NOW the sons of Reuben, the first-born of Israel, 
 (for "he was the first-born; but, forasmuch as he 
 'defiled his father's bed, c his birthright was given 
 unto the sons of Joseph the son of Israel : and the 
 genealogy is not to be reckoned after the birthright. 
 
 2 For d Judah prevailed above his brethren, and 
 of him came the 'chief || ruler; but the birthright 
 was Joseph's :) 
 
 3 The sons, / say, of ^ Reuben the first-born of 
 Israel were, Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.

 son, Shimei his son, 
 
 5 Micah his son, Reaia his son, Baal his son, 
 
 6 Beerah his son, whom || Tilgath-pilneser king 
 of Assyria carried away captive: he was prince of 
 the Reubenites. 
 
 7 And his brethren by their families, (/when the 
 genealogy of their generations was reckoned,) were 
 the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah, 
 
 8 And Bela the son of Azaz, the son of II Shema, 
 the son of Joel, who dwelt in ''Aroer, even unto 
 Nebo, and Baal-meon: 
 
 9 And eastward he inhabited unto the entering in 
 of the wilderness from the river Euphrates : because 
 their cattle were multiplied 'in the land of Gilead. 
 
 10 And in the days of Saul they made war 
 b with the Hagarites, who fell by their hand: and 
 they dwelt in their tents t throughout all the east 
 lana of Gilead. 
 
 11 II" And the children of Gad dwelt over against 
 them, in the land of 'Bashan unto Salcah: 
 
 12 Joel the chief, and Shapham the next, and 
 Jaanai, and Shaphat in Bashan. 
 
 13 And their brethren of the house of their fathers 
 were, Michael, and Meshullam, and Sheba, and Jo- 
 rai, and Jachan, and Zia, and Heber, seven. 
 
 14 These are the children of Abihail the son of 
 duri, the son of Jaroah, the son of Gilead, the son

 2 IP Now the first inhabitants that dwelt in their 
 possessions in their cities were, the Israelites, the 
 priests, Levites, and 'the Nethinims. 
 
 3 And in ''Jerusalem dwelt of the children of 
 Judah, and of the children of Benjamin, and of the 
 children of Ephraim, and Manassen : 
 
 4 Uthai the son of Aramihud, the son of Omri, 
 the son of Imri, the son of Bani, of the children 
 of Pharez the son of Judah. 
 
 5 And of the Shilonites; Asaiah the first-born,

 8 And Ibneiah the son of Jeroham, and Elah the

 son of Shephatiah, the son of Reuel, the son of lbnijah ; 
 
 9 And their brethren,accordingto their generations,

 chief of the fathers in the house of their fathers. 
 
 10 H e And of the priests; Jedaiah, and Jehoiarib,

 11 And || Azariah the son of Hilkiah, the son of

 lam, the son of Meshillemith, the son oflmmer; 
 
 13 And their brethren, heads of the house of

 14 And of the Levites; Shemaiah the son of

tfivers officers about the temple. C 
 
 and Talmon, and Ahiman, and their brethren: Shal- 
 lum was the chief; 
 
 18 Who hitherto waited in the king's gate east- 
 ward : they ivcre porters in the companies of* the 
 children of Levi. 
 
 19 And Shallum the son of Kore, the son of 
 Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brethren of 
 the house of his father, the Korah ites, were over the 
 work of the service, keepers of the f gates of the 
 tabernacle : and their fathers, being over the host 
 of the Lord, were keepers of the entry. 
 
 20 And -/'Phinehas the son of Eleazar was the ruler 
 over them in time past, and the Lord was with him. 
 
 21 And Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was por- 
 ter of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 
 
 22 All these which were chosen to be porters in 
 the gates were two hundred and twelve. These 
 were reckoned by their genealogy in their villages, 
 whom s David and Samuel A the s^^r fdid ordain in 
 their || set office. 
 
 23 So they and their children had the oversight 
 of the gates of the house of the Lord, namely, the 
 nouse of the tabernacle, by ward . 
 
 24 In four quarters were the porters, toward the 
 east, west, north, and south. 
 
 25 And their brethren, which were in their vil- 
 lages, were to come 'after seven days from time to 
 time with them. 
 
 2fi For these Levites, the four chief porters, 
 were in their II set office, and were over the || cham- 
 bers and treasuries of the house of God. 
 
 27 HAnd they lodged round about the house of 
 God, because the charge was upon them, and the 
 opening thereof every morning pertained to them. 
 
 28 And certain of them had the charge of the 
 ministering vessels, that they should f bring them 
 in and out by tale. 
 
 29 Some of them also were appointed to oversee 
 the vessels, and all the || instruments of the sanc- 
 tuary, and the fine flour, and the wine, and the oil, 
 and the frankincense, 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 other of their brethren, of the sons of 
 the Kohathites, m were over the fshew-bread, to 
 prepare it every sabbath. 
 
 33 And these are " the singers, chief of the fathers 
 of the Levites, who remaining in the chambers were 
 free: for fthey were employed in that work day 
 and night. 
 
 34 These chief fathers of the Levites were chief 
 throughout their generations; these dwelt at Jeru- 
 salem.

 2 Saul's overthrow. 8 The Philistines triumph over Saul 
 
 NOW "the Philistines fought against Israel; and 
 the men of Israel fled from before the Philis- 
 tines, and fell down || slain in mount Gilboa. 
 
 2 And the Philistines followed hard after Saul, and 
 after his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, 
 and || Abinadab, and Malchi-shua, the sons of Saul. 
 
 3 And the battle went sore against Saul, and the 
 farchers |hithim,and he was wounded of the archers. 
 
 4 Then said Saul to his armour-bearer, Draw thy 
 sword, and thrust me through therewith, lest these 
 uncircumcised come and f abuse me. But his 
 armour-bearer Avould not; for he was sore 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 fled, and that Saul and his 
 sons were dead, then they forsook their cities, and 
 fled : and the Philistines came and dwelt in them. 
 
 8 H And it came to pass on the morrow, when the 
 Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found 
 Saul and his sons fallen in 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 unto 
 their idols, and to the people. 
 
 10 * And they put his armour in the house of their 
 gods, and fastened 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 HSo Saul died for his transgression w r hich he 
 f committed against the Lord, c even against the 
 word of the Lord, which he kept not, and also for 
 asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, d to 
 inquire of it; 
 
 14 And inquired not of the Lord: therefore he 
 slew him, and e turned the kingdom unto David the 
 son of f Jesse. 
 
 CHAP. XI. 
 
 David hy a general consent is made king at Hebron. 
 
 THEN "all Israel gathered themselves to David 
 unto Hebron, saying, Behold, we are thy bone 
 and thy flesh. 
 
 2 And moreover i'm time past, even when Said 
 was king, thou wast he that leddest out and 
 broughtest in Israel: and the Lord thy God said 
 unto thee, Thou shalt || * feed my people Israel, and 
 thou shalt be ruler over my people Israel. 
 
 279 
 
David made king. I. 
 
 3 Therefore came all the elders of Israel to the 
 king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with 
 them in Hebron before the Lord; and c they anointed 
 David king over Israel, according to the word of 
 the Lord fby ''Samuel. 
 
 4 If And David and all Israel e Avent to Jerusalem, 
 which is Jebus; ^ where the Jebusites were, the in- 
 habitants of the land. 
 
 5 And the Inhabitants of Jebus said to David, 
 Thou shalt not come hither. Nevertheless David 
 took the castle of Zion, which is the city of David. 
 
 6 And David said, Whosoever smiteth the 
 Jebusites first shall be f chief and captain. So Joab 
 the son of Zeruiah went first up, and was chief. 
 
 7 And David dwelt in the castle ; therefore they 
 called || it, The city of David. 
 
 8 And he built the city round about, even from 
 Millo round about: and Joab f repaired the rest of 
 \,ne city. 
 
 9 So David f waxed greater and greater : for the 
 Lord of hosts was with him. 
 
 10 If* These also are the chief of the mighty men 
 whom David had, who || strengthened themselves 
 with him in his kingdom, and with all Israel, to 
 make him king according to Hhe word of the Lord 
 concerning Israel. 
 
 11 And this is the number of the mighty men 
 whom David had ; Jashobeam || an llachmonite, the 
 chief of the 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 mighties. 
 
 13 He was with David at || Pas-dammim, and 
 there the Philistines were gathered together to bat- 
 tle, where 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 the Lord 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 Adul- 
 lam; and the host of the Philistines encamped *in 
 the valley of Rephaim. 
 
 lb And David was then in the hold, and the 
 Philistines' garrison was then at Beth-lehem. 
 
 17 And David longed, and said, Oh that one 
 would give me drink of the water of the well of 
 Beth-lehem, that is at the gate ! 
 
 18 And the three brake 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 the Lord, 
 
 19 And said, My God forbid it me, that I should 
 do this thing : shall I drink the blood of these men 
 fthat have put their lives in jeopardy? for with 
 the jeopardy of their lives they brought it. There- 
 fore 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 
 tfiree 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 : howbeit he at- 
 tained not unto the^/zrs^ three. 
 
 22 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a 
 valiant man of Kabzeel, f who had done many acts; 
 
 280 
 
 C 11 II N 1 C L E S . A catalogue of David's worthies. 
 
 "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, fa man of great sta- 
 ture, five cubits high; and in the Egyptian's hand 
 was a spear like a weaver's beam ; and ne went dowD 
 to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the 
 Egyptian's hand, and slew him with Wis own spear 
 
 24 These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada 
 and had a name among the three mighties. 
 
 25 Behold, he was honourable among the thirty 
 but attained not to the first three : and David sel 
 him over his guard.

 NOW "these are they that came to David to 
 *Ziklag, f while he yet kept himself close he-

 among the mighty men, helpers of the war. 
 
 2 They were armed with bows, and could use

 and Jashobeam, the Korhites, 
 
 7 And Joelah, and Zebadiah, the sons of Jero- 
 ham of Gedor. 
 
 8 And of the Gadites there separated themselves 
 unto David into the hold to the wilderness men of 
 might, and men \oRvfxc fit for the battle, that could 
 handle shield and buckler, whose faces were like the 
 faces of lions, and were ''-\as swift as the roes upon 
 the mountains; 
 
 1) 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 an hundred, 
 and the greatest over a thousand. 
 
 15 These are they that Avent over Jordan in the 
 Grst month, when it had f overflown all his "banks; 
 and they put to flight all them of the valleys, both 
 toward the east, and toward the west. 
 
 16 And there came of the childi-en of Benjamin 
 and Judah to the hold unto David. 
 
 17 And David went out fto meet them, and an- 
 swered and said unto them, If ye be come peaceably 
 unto me to help me, mine heart shall fbe knit unto 
 you : but if ye be come to betray me to mine ene- 
 mies, seeing there is no || wrong in mine hands, the 
 God of our fathers look thereon, and rebuke it. 
 
 18 Then fthe spirit came upon ^'Amasai, ivho was 
 chief of the captains, and he said, Thine are we, 
 David, and on thy side, thou son of Jesse : peace, 
 peace be- unto thee, and peace be to thine helpers ; 
 for thy God helpeth thee. Then David received 
 them, and made them captains of the band. 
 
 19 And there fell some of Manasseh to David, 
 » when he came with the Philistines against Saul to 
 battle : but they helped them not :. for the lords of 
 the Philistines upon advisement sent him away, 
 saying, '' He will fall to his master Saul f to the jeo- 
 pard// of our heads. 
 
 20 As he went to Ziklag, there fell to him of 
 Manasseh, Adnah, and Jozabad, and Jediael, and 
 Michael, and Jozabad, and Elihu, and Zilthai, cap- 
 tains of the thousands that were of Manasseh. 
 
 21 And they helped Dav\d || against ' the band of 
 the rovers: for they were ail mighty men of valour, 
 and were captains in the host. 
 
 22 For at that time day by day there came to 
 David to help him, until it was a great host, like the 
 host of God. 
 
 23 HAnd these are the numbers of the || f bands 
 that were ready armed to the war, and *came to 
 David to Hebron, to 'turn the kingdom of Saul to 
 him, ""according to the word of the Lord. 
 
 24 The children of Judah that bare shield and 
 spear were six thousand and eight hundred, ready 
 (j armed to the war. 
 
 25 Of the children of Simeon, mighty men of va- 
 lour 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 were three thousand and seven hundred;

 David's helpers at Hebron 
 
 28 And "Zadok, a young man mighty of valour, 
 and of his father's house twenty and two captains. 
 
 21) And of the children of Benjamin, (he | kindred 
 of Said, three thousand: for hitherto fthe greatest 
 part of them had kepi the ward of the house of Saul. 
 
 30 And of the children of Ephraim twenty thou- 
 sand and eight hundred, mighty men of valour, 
 t famous throughout the house of their fathers. 
 
 31 And of the half-tribe of Manasseh eighteen 
 thousand, which Avere expressed by name, to come 
 and make David king. 
 
 32 And of the children of Issachar, ''which were 
 men that had understanding of the times, to know 
 what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were 
 two hundred; and all their brethren were at their 
 commandment. 
 
 33 Of Zebulun, such as went forth to battle,

 38 All these men of AA'ar, that could keep rank,

 king over all Israel : and all the rest also of Israel 
 were of one heart to make David king.

 pared for them.

 Da-vid felcheth the ark from Kirjath-jearim. 
 
 AND David consulted with the captains of thou 
 sands, and hundreds, and Avith every leader. 
 
 2 And David said unto all the congregation of 
 Israel, If it seem good unto you, and that it be of 
 the Lord our God, t let us send abroad unto our 
 brethren every where, that are "left in all the land 
 of Israel, and Avith them also to the priests and Le- 
 vites which are fin their cities and suburbs, that 
 they may gather themselves unto us : 
 
 3 And let us f bring again the ark of our God to 
 us: A for Ave inquired not at it in the days of Saul. 
 
 4 And all the congregation said that they would do 
 so : for the thing AA T as right in the eyes of all the people. 
 
 5 So c David fathered all Israel 
 
 together. 
 
 from 
 
 ''Shihor of Egypt even unto the entering of Hemath, 
 to bring the ark of God 'from Kirjath-jearim. 
 
 6 And David Avent up, and all Israel, to 'Baalab, 
 that is, to Kirjath-jearim, which belonged to Judah, Jo 
 bring up thence the ark of God the Lord, * that dAvell- 
 eth between the cherubims, Avhose name is called on it. 
 
 7 And they f carried the ark of God *in a new 
 cart tout of the house of Abiuadab : and * Uzza and 
 Ahio drave the cart.

 The ark brought from Obed-edom. 
 
 8 *And David and all Israel played before God 
 with all their might, and with f singing, and with 
 harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and 
 with cymbals, and with trumpets. 
 
 9 II And when they came unto the threshing- 
 floor of || Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold 
 the ark ; for the oxen f stumbled. 
 
 10 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against 
 Uzza, and he smote him, 'because he put his hand 
 tc the ark; and there he m died before God. 
 
 11 And David was displeased because the Lord 
 had made a breach upon Uzza: wherefore that 
 place is called || Perez-uzza to this day. 
 
 12 And David was afraid of God that day, say- 
 ing;, How shall I bring the ark of God home to me ? 
 
 «' 
 
 13 So David f brought not the ark home to him- 
 self 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 the 
 Lord blessed "the house of Obed-edom, and all that 
 he had.

 1 Hiram's kindness to David. 2 His felicity. 
 
 NOW "Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to 
 David, and timber of cedars, with masons and 
 carpenters, to build him an house. 
 
 2 And David perceived that the Lord had con- 
 firmed him king over Israel, for his kingdom was 
 lifted up on high, because of his people Israel. 
 
 3 11 And David took fniore wives at Jerusalem: 
 and David begat more sons and daughters. 
 
 4 Now b these are the names of his children which 
 he had in Jerusalem ; Shammua, and Shobab, Na- 
 than, and Solomon, 
 
 5 And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet, 
 
 6 And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia, 
 
 7 And Elishama, and || Beeliada, and Eliphalet. 
 
 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 them- 
 selves 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 mine hand? And the Lord said unto 
 him, Go up; for I will deliver them into thine hand. 
 
 11 So they came up to Baal-perazim ; and David 
 Sniote them there. Then David said, God hath 
 broken in upon mine enemies by mine hand like 
 the breaking forth of waters : therefore they called 
 the name of that place || Baal-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 them- 
 selves abroad in the valley. 
 
 14 Therefore David inquired again of God : and 
 God said unto him, Go not up after them; turn 
 away from them, ■'and come upon them over against 
 the mulberry- trees. 
 
 15 And it shall be, when thou shalt hear a sound 
 of going 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 commanded him: 
 and they smote the host of the Philistines from 
 
 Gibeon even to Gazer

 CHAP. XV. 
 
 1 David ordereth the priests and Levites to briny the ark from Obed-edom 
 25 He performeth the solemnity thereof with yreat joy. 29 Michal de 
 spiieth him. 
 
 AND David made him houses in the city of Da- 
 vid, and prepared a place for the ark of God, 
 °and pitched for it a tent. 
 
 2 Then David said, fNone ought to carry the 
 ''ark of God but the Levites: for them hath tl>< 
 Lord chosen to carry the ark of God, and to minis- 
 ter unto him for ever. 
 
 3 And David 'gathered all Israel together to 
 Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the Lord unto 
 his 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 an 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, anc* 
 his brethren an hundred and thirty: 
 
 8 Of the sons of ''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 an hundred and twelve. 
 
 11 And David called for Zadok and Abiathar the 
 priests, and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and 
 Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab, 
 
 12 And said unto them, Ye are the chief of the 
 fathers of the Levites : sanctify yourselves, both ye 
 and your brethren, that ye may bring up the ark 
 of the Lord God of Israel unto the place that I have 
 prepared for it. 
 
 13 For •'because ye did it not at the first, * the 
 Lord our God made a breach upon us, for that we 
 sought him not after the due order. 
 
 14 So the priests and the Levites sanctified them- 
 selves to bring up the ark of the Lord God of Israel. 
 
 15 And the children of the Levites bare the ark 
 of God upon their shoulders with the staves there- 
 on, as ''Moses commanded, according to the word of 
 the Lord. 
 
 16 And David spake to the chief of the Levites 
 to appoint their brethren to be the singers with in- 
 struments of music, psalteries, and harps, and cym- 
 bals, 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 Bere- 
 chiah; 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 Jaaziel, and Shemira- 
 moth, 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 cymbals of brass ; 
 
 20 And Zechariah, and ||Aziel, and Shemiramoth, 
 and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, 
 and Benaiah, with psalteries "'on Alamoth; 
 
 21 And Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, 
 and Obed-edom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps 
 || on the Sheminith to excel. 
 
David's festival sacrifice. 
 
 22 And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, || ivas for 
 f song : he instructed about the song, because he was 
 skilful. 
 
 23 And Berechiah and Elkanah were door-keep- 
 ers for the ark. 
 
 24 And Shebaniah, and Jehoshaphat, and Netha- 
 neel, and Amasai, and Zeehariah, 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 IT So "David and the elders of Israel, and the 
 cap-tains over thousands, went to bring up the ark 
 of the covenant of the Lord out of the house of 
 Obed-edom with joy. 
 
 26 And it came to pass, when God helped the 
 Levites that bare the ark of the covenant of the Lord, 
 that they offered seven bullocks and seven rams. 
 
 27 And David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, 
 and all the Levites that bare the ark, and the singers, 
 and Chenaniah the master of the II song with the sing- 
 ers : David also had upon him an ephod of linen. 
 
 28 -''Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the co- 
 venant of the Lord with snouting, and with sound 
 of the cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, 
 making a noise with psalteries and harps. 
 
 29 IT And it came to pass, ' as the ark of the cove- 
 nant of the Lord came to the city of David, that 
 Michal the daughter of Saul looking out at a win- 
 dow saw king David dancing and playing : and she 
 despised him in her heart.

 1 David's festival sacrifice. 7 His psalm of thanksgiving. 
 
 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 peace-offerings 
 before God. 
 
 2 And when David had made an end of offering 
 the burnt-offerings and the peace-offerings, he bless- 
 ed the people in the name of the Lord. 
 
 3 And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man 
 and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a 
 good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine. 
 
 4 IT And he appointed certain of the Levites to 
 minister before the ark of the Lord, and to b record, 
 and to thank and praise the Lord God of Israel : 
 
 5 Asaph the chief, and next to him Zeehariah, 
 Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, 
 and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed-edom: and Jeiel 
 t with 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 the Lord, into the hand of Asaph 
 and his brethren. 
 
 8 d Give thanks unto the Lord, call upon his 
 name, make known his deeds among the people. 
 
 9 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye 
 of all his wondrous works. 
 
 10 Glory ye in his holy name: let the. heart of 
 them rejoice that seek the Lord. 
 
 11 Seek the Lord and his strength, seek his face 
 continually. 
 
 12 Remember his marvellous works that he hath 
 done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth ; 
 
 13 ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children 
 of Jacob, his chosen ones.

 20 And when they went from nation to nation,

 22 Saying, h Touch not mine anointed, and do my

 23 'Sing unto the Lord, all the earth; shew forlh 
 from day to day his salvation. 
 
 24 Declare his glory among the heathen; his 
 marvellous works among all nations. 
 
 25 For great is the Lord, and greatly to be 
 praised : he also is to be feared above all gods. 
 
 26 For all the gods *of the people are idols: but 
 the Lord made the heavens. 
 
 27 Glory and honour are in his presence; strength

 28 Give unto the Lord, ye kindreds of the peo- 
 ple, give unto the Lord glory and strength. 
 
 29 Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his

 30 Fear before him, all the earth: the world 
 also shall be stable, that it be not moved. 
 
 31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth 
 rejoice: and let men say among the nations, Tho

 32 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof: let

 33 Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at

 34 ' O give thanks unto the Lord ; for he is good ;

 the heathen, that we may give thanks to thy holy 
 name, and glory in thy praise. 
 
 36 "Blessed be the Lord God of Israel for ever

 37 IF So he left there before the ark of the cove- 
 nant of the Lord, Asaph and his brethren, to minis- 
 ter before the ark continually, as every day's work 
 required : 
 
 B8 And Obed-edom with their brethren, three-

 thun and Hosah to be porters : 
 
 39 And Zadok the priest, and his brethren the

 CHAP. XVII. 
 
 11 Nathan promiselh David a blessing. 16 David's prayer. 
 
 NOW "it came to pass, as David sat in his house, 
 that David said to Nathan the prophet, Lo, I 
 dwell in an house of cedars, but the ark of the cove- 
 nant of the Lord remaineth under curtains. 
 
 2 Then Nathan said unto David, Do all that is 
 in thine heart; for God is with thee. 
 
 3 II 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 the 
 Lord, Thou shalt not build me an house to dwell in : 
 
 5 For I have not dwelt in an house since the day 
 that I brought up Israel unto this day : but f have gone 
 from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another. 
 
 6 Wheresoever I have walked with all Israel, 
 spake I a word to any of the judges of Israel, 
 whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, 
 Why have ye not built me an house of cedars ? 
 
 7 Now therefore thus shalt thou say unto my 
 servant David, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, I took 
 thee from the sheep-cote, even ffrom following the 
 sheep, that thou shouldest be ruler over my people 
 Israel : 
 
 8 And I have been with thee whithersoever 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 ordain a place for my people Israel, 
 and will plant them, and they shall dwell in their 
 place, and shall be moved 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. Moreover, I will sub- 
 due all thine enemies. Furthermore, I tell thee 
 that the Lord will build thee an house. 
 
 11 UAnd it shall come to pass, when thy days 
 be expired that thou must go to be with thy fathers, 
 that I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall 
 be of thy sons ; and I will establish his kingdom. 
 
 12 He shall build me an house, and I will esta- 
 blish his throne for ever. 
 
 13 'I will be his father, and he shall be my son : 
 and I will not take my mercy away from him, as I 
 took it from him that was before thee : 
 
 14 But C I will settle him in mine house and in 
 my kingdom for ever: and his throne shall be 
 established for evermore. 
 
 15 According to all these words, and according 
 to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David. 
 
 1G II ''And David the king came and sat before the 
 Lord, and said, Who am I, Lord God, and what 
 is mine house, that thou hast brought me hitherto ? 
 
 17 And yet this was a small thing in thine eyes, 
 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, 
 Loud God.

 David's prayer and thanksgiving 
 thy servant? for thou knowest thy ser 
 
 honour of 
 vant. 
 
 19 Lord, for thy servant's sake, and according 
 to thine own heart, hast thou done all this greatness, 
 in making known all these f great things. 
 
 20 Lord, there is none like thee, neither is there 
 any God besides thee, according 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 thee a name of greatness and 
 terribleness, 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, Lord, becamest 
 their God. 
 
 23 Therefore now, Lord, 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, The Lord of hosts is 
 the God of Israel, even a God to Israel : and lei the 
 house of David thy servant be established before thee. 
 
 25 For thou, my God, fhast told thy servant 
 that thou wilt build him an house : therefore thy 
 servant hath found in his heart to pray before thee. 
 
 26 And now, Lord, thou art God, and hast 
 promised this goodness unto thy servant : 
 
 27 Now therefore || let it please thee to bless the 
 house of thy servant, that it may be before thee 
 for ever : for thou blessest, Lord, and it shall bt 
 blessed for ever.

 David subdueth the Philistines and the Moabites. 
 
 NOW after this "it came to pass that David smote 
 the Philistines, and subdued them, and took Gath 
 and her towns out of the hand of the Philistines. 
 
 2 And he smote Moab ; and the Moabites became 
 David's servants, and brought gifts. 
 
 3 IT And David smote || Hadarezer king of Zobah 
 unto Hamath, as he went to stablish his dominion 
 by the river Euphrates. 
 
 4 And David took from him a thousand chariots, 
 and * seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand 
 footmen: David also houghed all the chariot-horses, 
 but reserved of them an hundred chariots. 
 
 5 And when the Syrians of f Damascus 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 David's servants, and 
 brought gifts. Thus the Lord preserved David 
 whithersoever he went. 
 
 T And David took the shields of gold that were 
 on the servants of Hadarezer, and brought them tc 
 Jerusalem. 
 
 8 Likewise from || Tibhath, and from Chun, cities 
 of Hadarezer, brought David very much brass, 
 wherewith "Solomon made the brazen sea, and the 
 pillars, and the vessels of brass. 
 
 9 IT Now when || Tou king of 
 David had smitten all the host 
 of Zobah ; 
 
 10 He sent || Hadoram his son to king David, 
 II to inquire of his welfare, and fto congratulate 
 him, because he had fought against Hadarezer, and 
 
 mitten him; (for Hadarezer thad war with Tou;)

 11 IT Them also king David dedicated unto the 
 Lord, with the silver and the gold that he brought 
 from all these nations; from Edom, and from Moab, 
 and from the children of Ammon, and from the 
 Philistines, and from Amalek. 
 
 12 Moreover, fAbishai the son of Zeruiah slew of 
 the Edomites in the valley of salt ''eighteen thousand. 
 
 13 IF' And he put garrisons in Edom; and all the 
 Edomites became David's servants. Thus the Lord 
 preserved David whithersoever he went. 
 
 14 H So David reigned over all Israel, and exe- 
 cuted judgment and justice among all his people. 
 
 15 And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the 
 host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, || recorder. 
 
 16 And Zadokthe son of Ahitub, and HAbimelech 
 the son of Abiathar, wree the priests ; and || Shavsha 
 was scribe; 
 
 17 -/"And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over 
 the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons 
 of David were chief f about the king.

 David sendeth messengers to comfort Jlanun the son of Kali ash. 
 
 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 unto 
 .Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father shewed 
 kindness to me. And David sent messengers to 
 comfort him concerning his father. So the servants 
 of David came into the land of the children of 
 Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him. 
 
 3 But the princes of the children of Ammon said 
 to Hanun, f Thinkest thou that David doth honour 
 thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? 
 are not his servants come unto thee for to search. 
 and to overthrow, and to spy out the land ? 
 
 4 Wherefore Hanun took David's servants, and 
 shaved them, and cut off their garments in the midst 
 hard by their buttocks, and sent them away. 
 
 5 Then there went certain, and told David how 
 the men were served ; and he sent to meet them : 
 for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king 
 said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, 
 and then return. 
 
 6 II And when the children of Ammon saAv that they 
 had made themselves f odious to David, Hanun and 
 the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of sil- 
 ver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Meso- 
 potamia, and out of Syria-maachah, *and out of Zobah. 
 
 7 So they hired thirty and two thousand chariots, 
 and the king of Maachah and his people, who came 
 and pitched before Medeba. And the children of 
 Ammon gathered 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 : ,«,nd 
 the kings that were come were by themselves ,n the 
 field. 
 
 10 Now when Joab saw that fthe battle was 
 set against him before and behind, he chose out of 
 all the || choice of Israel, and put them in aroiy 
 against the Syrians.

 13 Be of good courage, and let us behave our- 
 selves valiantly for our people, and for the cities of 
 our God : and let the Loud do that lohich is good in 
 his sight. 
 
 14 So Joab and the people that were with 
 drew nigh before the Syrians unto the battle; 
 they fled before him. 
 
 15 And when the children of Ammon saw that 
 the Syrians were 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 
 put to the worse before Israel, they sent messen- 
 gers, and drew forth the Syrians that were bej'ond 
 the || river : and || Shophach the captain of the host 
 of Hadarezer went before them. 
 
 17 And it was told David; and he gathered 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 thousand men which 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 put to the worse before Israel', they made 
 peace with David, and became his servants: neither 
 would the Syrians help the children of Ammon any 
 more.

 Rabbah is besieged by Joab, and spoiled by Djvid. 
 
 AND a it came to pass, that f after the year was 
 expired, at the time that 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 Kabbah : but David tarried at Jeru- 
 salem. And 'Joab smote Rabbah, and destro} r ed it. 
 
 2 And David 'took the crown of their king from 
 off his head, and found it f to weigh a talent of gold, 
 and there were precious stones in it; and it was set 
 upon David's head : and he brought also exceeding 
 much spoil out of the city. 
 
 3 And he brought out the people that were in it, 
 and cut them with saws, and with harrows of iron, 
 and with axes. Even so dealt David with all the 
 cities of the children of Ammon. And David and 
 all the people returned to Jerusalem. 
 
 4 IT And it came to pass after this, rf that there 
 ||f arose war at ||Gezer with the Philistines : at which 
 time e Sibbechai the Hushathite slew || Sippai, that was 
 of the children of ||the giant : and they were subdued. 
 
 5 And there was war again with the Philistines; 
 and Elhanan the son of || Jair slew Lahmi the brother 
 of Goliath the Gittite, whose spear-staff teas like a 
 weaver's beam. 
 
 6 And yet again -/there was Avar at Gath, where 
 was fa man of great stature, whose fingers and toes 
 were four and twenty, six on each liana, and six on 
 each foot: and he also was fthe son of the giant.

 David, tempted by Satan, forceth Joab to number the people. 
 
 AND "Satan stood up against Israel, and pro- 
 voked 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; 6 and bring the number of them to me, that 
 J may know it. 
 
 3 And Joab answered, The Lord make his people 
 an hundred times so many more as they be: but, 
 my lord the king, are they not all my lord's ser- 
 vants? why then doth my lord require this thing? 
 why will he be a cause or trespass to Israel ? 
 
 4 Nevertheless the king's words prevailed against 
 Joab. Wherefore Joab departed, and went through- 
 out all Israel, and came to Jerusalem. 
 
 5 H And Joab gave the sum of the number of the 
 people unto David. And all they of Israel were a 
 thousand thousand and an hundred thousand men 
 that drew sword: and Judah was four hundred 
 threescore and ten thousand men that drew sword. 
 
 6 r But Levi and Benjamin counted he not among 
 them: for the king's word was abominable to Joab. 
 
 7 |And God was displeased with this thing, 
 therefore he smote Israel. 
 
 8 And David said unto God, d I have sinned 
 greatly, because I have done this thing: c but now, I 
 beseech thee, do away the iniquity of thy servant;

 fall into the hand of man. 
 
 14 HSo the Lord sent pestilence upon Israel: 
 and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men. 
 
 15 And God sent an ''angel unto Jerusalem to 
 destroy it: and as he was destroying, the Lord be- 
 held, and 'he repented him of the evil, and said to

 having a drawn sword in his hand, stretched out over 
 Jerusalem. Then David and the elders of Israel, who 
 were clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.

 18 IT Then the 'angel of the Lord commanded 
 Gad to say to David, that David should go up, and 
 set up an altar unto the Lord in the threshing-floor 
 of Oman the Jebusite. 
 
 19 And David went up at the saying of Gad, 
 which he spake in the name of the Lord. 
 
 20 || And Oman turned back, and saw the angel; 
 and his four sons with him hid themselves. Now 
 Oman was threshing wheat. 
 
 21 And as David came to Ornan,Ornan looked, and 
 saw David, and went out of the threshing-floor,' and 
 bowed himself to David with his face to the ground. 
 
 22 Then David said to Oman, f Grant me the 
 place of this threshing-floor, that I may build an 
 altar therein unto the Lord : thou shalt grant it me 
 for the full price : that the plague may be stayed 
 from the people. 
 
 23 And Oman said unto David, Take it to thee, 
 and let my lord the king do that which is good in 
 his eyes : lo, I give thee the oxen also for burnt- 
 offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, 
 and the wheat for the meat-offering; I give it all. 
 
 24 And king David said to Oman, Nay ; but 1 
 will verily buy it for the full price : for I will not 
 take that which is thine for the Lord, nor offer 
 burnt-offerings without cost. 
 
 25 So m David gave to Oman for the place six 
 hundred shekels of gold by weight. 
 
 26 And David built there an altar unto the Lord, 
 and offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings, and 
 called upon the Lord; and "he answered him from 
 heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt-offering. 
 
 27 And the Lord commanded the angel; and 
 he put up his sword again into the sheath thereof. 
 
 28 IT At that time when David saw that the Lord 
 had answered him in the threshing-floor of Oman 
 the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there. 
 
 29 "For the tabernacle of the Lord, which Moses 
 made in the wilderness, and the altar of the burnt- 
 offering, were at that season in '"he high place at 
 p Gibeon. 
 
 30 But David could not go before it to inquire 
 of God : for he w r as afraid because of the sword of 
 the angel of the Lord.

 David instructeth Solomon in God's promises, and his duty in building tfu

 THEN David said, fl This is the house of the

 offering for Israel. 
 
 2 And David commanded to gather together * the 
 strangers that were in the land of Israel; and he 
 set masons to hew wrought stones to build the 
 house of God. 
 
 3 And David prepared iron in abundance for the 
 nails for the doors of the gates, and for the joinings 
 and brass in abundance c without weight; 
 
 4 Also cedar-trees in abundance: for the d Zido- 
 nians and they 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 build ed for 
 the Lord must be exceedingly magnifical, of fame 
 and of glory throughout all countries : I will there- 
 fore now make preparation for it. So David pre- 
 pared abundantly before his death 
 
Preparation for the temple. 
 
 G IF Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged 
 bim to build an house for the Lord God of Israel. 
 
 7 And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, 
 /it was in my mind to build an house *unto the 
 name of the Lord my God. 
 
 8 But the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 
 *Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made 
 great wars : thou shalt not build an house unto my 
 name, because thou hast shed much blood upon the 
 earth in my sight. 
 
 9 'Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall 
 bo a man of rest; and I will give him *rest from all 
 his enemies round about: for his name shall be 
 || Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness unto 
 Israel in his days. 
 
 10 'He shall build an 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, "the Lord be with thee; and 
 prosper thou, and build the house of the Lord thy 
 God, as he hath said of thee. 
 
 12 Only the Lord "give thee wisdom and under- 
 standing, and give thee charge concerning Israel, 
 that thou may est keep the law of the Lord thy God. 
 
 13 ^ Then shalt thou prosper, if thou takest heed to 
 fulfil the statutes and judgments which the Lord 
 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 the Lord an hundred thousand 
 talents of gold, and a thousand thousand talents of 
 silver; and of brass and iron 'without weight; for 
 it is in abundance: timber also and stone have 1 
 prepared; and thou mayest add thereto. 
 
 15 Moreover, there are workmen with thee in 
 abundance, hewers and || workers of stone and 
 timber, and all manner of cunning men for every 
 manner of work. 
 
 16 Of the gold, the silver, and the brass, and 
 the iron, there is no number. Arise, therefore, and 
 be doing, and Hhe Lord be with thee. 
 
 17 IF David also commanded all the princes of 
 Israel to help Solomon his son, saying, 
 
 18 Is not the Lord your God with you? 'and hath 
 he not given you rest on every side? for he hath given 
 the inhabitants of the land into mine hand ; and the 
 land is subdued before the Lord, and before his people. 
 
 19 Now "set your heart and your soul to seek 
 the Lord your God; arise therefore, and build ye 
 the sanctuary of the Lord God, to x bring the ark 
 of the covenant of the Lord, and the holy vessels 
 of God, into the house that is to be built Ho the 
 name of the Lord.

 6 And 'David divided them into fcourses among the 
 sons of Levi, namely, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. 
 
 7 IF Of the^Gersnonites 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 Ilaran, three. These were the chief of the 
 fathers of Laadan. 
 
 10 And the sons of Shimei were, Jahath, || 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 f had not many sons ; 
 therefore they were in one reckoning, according to 
 their father's house. 
 
 12 IF A ' The sons of Kohath; Amram, Izhar, He- 
 bron, and Uzziel, four. 
 
 13 The sons of ''Amram; Aaron and Mcses: 
 and 'Aaron was separated, that he should sanctify 
 the most holy things, he and his sons for ever, *to 
 burn incense before the Lokd, 'to minister unto 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, ''|| Shebuelwas the chief 
 
 17 And the sons of Eliezer were, 'Rehabiah || the 
 chief. And Eliezer had none other sons; but the 
 sons of Rehabiah fwere very many. 
 
 18 Of the sons of Izhar; || Shelomith the chief. 
 
 19 'Of the sons of Hebron ; Jeriah the first, Ama- 
 riah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam 
 the fourth. 
 
 20 Of the sons of Uzziel; Micah the first, and 
 Jesiah the second. 
 
 21 IF* The sons of Merari; Mahli, and Mushi. 
 The sons of Mahli; Eleazar, and 'Kish. 
 
 22 And Eleazar died, and "had no sons, but da ugh 
 ters : and their || brethren the sons of Kish ^took them 
 
 23 y The sons of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, am" 
 Jeremoth, three. 
 
 24 IF These were the sons of z Levi after the house 
 of their fathers; even the chief of the fathers, as they 
 were counted by number of names by their polls, that 
 did the work for the service of the house of the 
 Lord, from the age of "twenty years and upward. 
 
 25 For David said, The Lord God of Israel ''hath 
 given rest unto his people, || that they may dwell in 
 Jerusalem for ever; 
 
 26 And also unto the Levites : they shall no more 
 c carry the tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for the 
 service thereof. 
 
 27 For by the last words of David the Levites 
 were f numbered from twenty years old and above: 
 
 28 Because t their office teas to wait on the sons 
 of Aaron for the service of the house of the Lord, 
 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;

 for meat-offering, and for •'the unleavened cakes, and 
 for Hhat which is baked in the || pan, and for that which 
 is fried, and for all manner of ''measure and size;

 their brethren, in the service of the house of the Lord. 
 
 CHAP XXIV. 
 
 The division of the sons of Aaron by lot into four and twenty orders. 
 
 NOW these are the divisions of the sons of Aaron. 
 "The sons of Aaron; Nadab, and Abihu, Elea- 
 zar, and Ithamar. 
 
 2 But 6 Nadab and Abihu died before their father, 
 and had no children : therefore Eleazar and Itha- 
 mar executed the priest's office. 
 
 3 And David distributed them, both Zadok 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 Ithamar ac- 
 cording to the house of their fathers. 
 
 5 Thus were they divided by lot, one sort with 
 another; for the governors of the sanctuary, and 
 
 fovernors of the house of God, were of the sons of 
 lleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar. 
 
 6 And Shemaiah the son of Nethaneel the scribe, 
 me of the Levites, wrote them before the king, and 
 the princes, and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech 
 the son of Abiathar, and before the chief of the 
 fathers of the priests and Levites: one f principal 
 household being taken for Eleazar, and one taken 
 for Ithamar. 
 
 7 Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib, the 
 second to Jedaiah, 
 
 8 The third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim, 
 
 9 The fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin, 
 
 10 The seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to c Abijah, 
 
 11 The ninth to Jeshuah, the tenth to Shecaniah, 
 
 12 The eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim, 
 
 13 The thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to 
 Jeshebeab, 
 
 14 The fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer, 
 
 15 The seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to 
 Aphses, 
 
 16 The nineteenth to Pethahiah. the twentieth 
 to Jehezekel, 
 
 17 The one and twentieth to Jachin, the two and 
 twentieth to Gamul, 
 
 18 The three and twentieth to Delaiah, the four 
 and twentieth to Maaziah. 
 
 19 These were the orderings of them in their 
 service r/ to come into the house of the Lord, ac- 
 cording to their manner, under Aaron their father, 
 as the Lord God of Israel had commanded him. 
 
 20 IT And the rest of the sons of Levi were these: 
 Of the sons of Amram; 'Shubael: of the sons of 
 Shubael; Jehdeiah. 
 
 21 Concerning ^'Rehabiah: of the sons of Reha- 
 biah, the first was Isshiah. 
 
 22 Of the Izharites; ^Shelomoth: of the sons of 
 Shelomoth; Jahath.

 22 Of Dan, Azareel the son of Jeroham. These 
 were the princes of the tribes of Israel. 
 
 23 HBut David took not the number of them 
 from twenty years old and under: because "the 
 Lord had said he would increase Israel like to the 
 stars of the heavens. 
 
 24 Joab the son of Zeruiah began to number, 
 but he finished not, because "there fell wrath Tor it 
 against Israel; neither fwas the number put in 
 the account of the chronicles of king David. 
 
 25 H And over the king's treasures was Azmaveth 
 the son of Adiel : and over the store-houses in the 
 fields, in the cities, and in the villages, and in the 
 castles, was Jehonathan the son of Uzziah : 
 
 26 And over them that did the work of the field 
 for tillage of the ground was Ezri the son of Chelub •

 trees that were in the low plains was Baal-hanan the 
 Gederite : and over the cellars of oil was Joash : 
 
 29 And over the herds that fed in Sharon was 
 Shitrai the Sharonite : and over the herds that were 
 in the valleys was Shaphat the son of Adlai. 
 
 30 Over the camels also tvas Obil the Ishmaelite* 
 and over the asses was Jehdeiah the Meronothite : 
 
 31 And over the flocks was Jaziz the Hagerite. 
 All these were the rulers of the substance which 
 was king David's. 
 
 32 Also Jonathan, David's uncle, was a counsel- 
 lor, a wise man, and a || scribe : and Jehiel the || sou 
 of Hachmoni was with the king's sons : 
 
 33 And "Ahithophel was the king's counsellor : and

 CHAP. XXVIII. 
 
 David encourageth Solomon to build the temple. 
 
 AND David assembled all the princes of Israel, 
 "the princes of the tribes, and 'the captains of 
 the companies that ministered to the king by course, 
 and the captains over the thousands, and captains 
 over the hundreds, and c the stewards over all the 
 substance and || possession of the king, || and of hia 
 sons, with the || officers, and with d the mighty men 
 and with all the valiant men unto Jerusalem. 
 
 2 Then David the king stood up upon his feet, and 
 said, Hear me, my brethren, and my people: As for 
 me, 'I had in mine heart to build an house of rest for the 
 ark of the covenant of the Lord, and for •''the fojotstool 
 of our God, and had made ready for the building : 
 
 3 But God said unto me, ^Ihou shalt not build 
 an house for my name, because thou hast been a man 
 of war, and hast shed f blood. 
 
 4 Howbeit the Lord God of Israel h chose me be- 
 fore all the house of my father to be king over Israel 
 for ever: for he hath chosen 'Judah to be the ruler; 
 and of the house of Judah, *the 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 the Lord hath given 
 me many sons,) "he hath chosen Solomon my son to sit. 
 upon the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel. 
 
 6 And he said unto me, " Solomon thy son, he 
 shall build my house and my courts: fori haw 
 chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father. 
 
David s charge to Solomon. 
 
 CHAP. XXIX. 
 
 7 Moreover I will establish his kingdom for ever, 
 *if he be f constant to do my commandments and my 
 judgments, as at this day. 
 
 8 Now therefore in the sight of all Israel, the 
 congregation of the Lord, and in the audience of 
 our God, keep and seek for all the commandments 
 of the Lord your God: that ye may possess this 
 good land, and leave it for an inheritance for your 
 children after you for ever. 
 
 9 IF And thou, Solomon my son, 'know thou 
 the God of thy father, and serve him 'with a per- 
 fect heart, and with a willing mind: for 'the Lord 
 searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the ima- 
 ginations of the thoughts : • if thou seek him, he will 
 be found of thee ; but if thou forsake him, he will 
 cast thee off for ever. 
 
 10 Take heed now; "for the Lord hath chosen 
 thee to build an house for the sanctuary : be strong, 
 and do it. 
 
 11 HThen David gave to Solomon his son ^the 
 pattern of the porch, and of the houses thereof, 
 and of the treasures thereof, and of the upper 
 chambers thereof, and of the inner parlours thereof, 
 and of the place of the mercy-seat, 
 
 12 And trie pattern fof all that he had by the Spirit, 
 of the courts of the house of the Lord, 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 Le- 
 vites, and for all the work of the service of the house 
 of the Lord, and for all the vessels of service in the 
 house of the Lord. 
 
 14 He gave of gold by weight for things of gold, 
 lor all instruments of all manner 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 every 
 candlestick, and for the lamps thereof: and for the 
 candlesticks of silver by weight, both for the can- 
 dlestick, and also for trie lamps thereof, according 
 to the use of every candlestick. 
 
 16 And by weight he gave gold for the tables of 
 shew-bread, for every 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 basins he 
 gave gold by weight for every basin; and likewise 
 silver by weight for every basin of silver : 
 
 18 And for the altar of incense refined gold by 
 weight; and gold for the pattern of the chariot of 
 the 'cherubims, that spread out their wings, and 
 covered the ark of the covenant of the Lord. 
 
 19 All this, said David, " the Lord made me un- 
 derstand in writing, by his hand upon me, even all 
 the works of this pattern. 
 
 20 And David said to Solomon his son, 6 Be 
 strong, and of good courage, and do it : fear not, 
 nor be dismayed, for the Lord God, even my God, 
 will be with thee; f he will not fail thee, nor forsake 
 thee, until thou hast finished all the work for the 
 service of the house of the Lord. 
 
 21 And behold, ''the courses of the priests and the 
 kevites, even the// shall be tvith thee for all the service 
 of the house of God : and there shall be with thee for 
 all manner of workmanship e every willing skilful 
 man, for any manner of service : also the princes and 
 hII the peonle will be wholly at thy commandment.

 I FURTHERMORE David the king said unto all 
 the congregation, Solomon my son, whom alono 
 God hath chosen, is yet "young and tender, and the 
 work is great; for the palace is not for man, but. 
 for the Lord God. 
 
 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; b onyx-stones, and stones 
 to be set, glistering stones, and of divers colours, 
 and all manner of precious stones, and marble 
 stones in abundance. 
 
 3 Moreover, because I have set my affection to 
 the house of my God, I have of mine own proper 
 good, of gold and silver, which 1 have given to the 
 house 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 c Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined 
 silver to overlay the walls of the houses withal: 
 
 5 The gold for things of gold, and the silver for 
 things of silver, and for all manner of work to be made 
 by the hands of artificers. And who then is willing 
 fto consecrate his service this day unto the Lord? 
 
 6 If Then rf the chief of the fathers and princes of 
 the tribes of Israel, and the captains of thousands 
 and of hundreds, with e the rulers over the king's 
 work, offered willingly, 
 
 7 And gave for the service of the house of God 
 of gold five thousand talents and ten thousand 
 drams, and of silver ten thousand talents, and of 
 brass eighteen thousand talents, and one hundred 
 thousand talents of iron. 
 
 8 And they with whom precious stones were 
 found gave them to the treasure of the house of the 
 Lord, by the hand of J Jehiel the Gershonite. 
 
 9 Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered 
 willingly, because with perfect heart they s offered 
 willingly to the Lord: and David the king also 
 rejoiced with great joy. 
 
 10 IF Wherefore David blessed the Lord before all 
 the congregation: and David said, Blessed be thou, 
 Lord God of Israel our father, for ever and ever. 
 
 11 * Thine, O Lord, is the greatness, and the 
 power, and the glory, and the victory, and the 
 majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in tho 
 earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and 
 thou art exalted as head above all. 
 
 12 'Both riches and honour come of thee, and 
 thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is power 
 and might; and in thine hand it is to make great, 
 and to give strength unto all. 
 
 13 Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and 
 praise thy glorious name. 
 
 14 But who am I, and what is my people, that 
 we should be t able to offer so willingly alter this 
 sort? for all things come of thee, and fof thine owu 
 have we given thee. 
 
 15 For *we are strangers before thee, and sojourn- 
 ers, as were all our fathers : 'our days on the earth are 
 as a shadow, and there is none f abiding. 
 
 16 O Lord our God, all this store that we have 
 prepared to build thee an house for thine holy mime 
 cometh of thine hand, and is all thine own. 
 
 17 I know also, my God, that thou "'triest the 
 
 201 
 
David's thanksgiving and prayer: 
 
 heart, and "hast pleasure in uprightness 
 me, in the uprightness of mine heart I have willingly 
 offered all these things : and now have I seen with 
 joy thy people, which are || present here, to offer 
 willingly unto thee. 
 
 18 Lord 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 || pre- 
 pare their heart unto thee : 
 
 19 And "give unto Solomon my son a perfect 
 heart, to keep thy commandments, thy testimonies, 
 and thy statutes, and to do all these things, and to build 
 the palace, for the which ''I have made provision. 
 
 20 HAnd David said to all the congregation, Now 
 bless the Lord your God. And all the congregation 
 blessed the Lord God of their fathers, and bowed 
 down their heads, and worshipped the Lord, and 
 the king. 
 
 21 And they sacrificed sacrifices unto the Lord, 
 and offered burnt-offerings unto the Lord, on the 
 morrow after that day, even a thousand bullocks, 
 a thousand rams, and a thousand lambs, with their 
 drink-offerings, and sacrifices in abundance for all 
 Israel : 
 
 22 And did eat and drink before the Lord on 
 that day with great gladness. And they made 
 Solomon the son of David king the second time

 and 'anointed him unto the Lord to he the chief

 23 Then Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord 
 as king instead of David his father, and prospered; 
 and all Israel obeyed him. 
 
 24 And all the princes, and the mighty men, and 
 all the sons likewise of king David, r | submitted

 25 And the Lord magnified Solomon exceed 
 ingly in the sight of all Israel, and 'bestowed upon 
 him such royal majesty as had not been on any 
 king before him in Israel.

 all Israel.

 forty years; "seven years reigned he in Hebron, and

 Solomon's choice of icisdom is blessed by God. 
 
 AND " Solomon the son of David was strength- 
 ened in his kingdom, and *the Lord his God 
 was with him, and f magnified him exceedingly. 
 
 2 Then Solomon spake unto 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 e Gibeon ; 
 for there was the tabernacle of the congregation of 
 God, which Moses the servant of the Lord had 
 made in the wilderness. 
 
 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 that ''Bezaleel the 
 son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, || he put before 
 the tabernacle of the Lord : and Solomon and the 
 congregation sought unto it. 
 
 6 And Solomon went up thither to the brazen 
 altar before the Lord, which was at the tabernacle 
 of the congregation, and 'offered a thousand burnt- 
 offerings upon it. 
 
 7 IT* In that night did God appear unto Solomon, 
 and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee. 
 
 8 And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast shewed 
 great mercy unto David my father, and hast made 
 me ' to reign in his stead. 
 
 9 Now Lord God, let thy promise unto David 
 my father be established : m for thou hast made me king 
 over a people flike the dust of the earth in multitude. 
 
 10 " Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I

 13 IT Then Solomon came from his journey to the 
 high place that was at Gibeon to Jerusalem, from 
 before the tabernacle 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 
 the chariot-cities, and with the king at Jerusalem. 
 
 15 'And the king f made silver and gold at Jerusa 
 lem as plenteous as stones, and cedar-trees made he as 
 the sycamore-trees that are in the vale, for abundance. 
 
 16 'And f Solomon had horses brought out of 
 Egypt, and linen yarn : the king's merchants received 
 the linen yarn at a price. 
 
 17 And they fetched up, and brought forth out 
 of Egypt a chariot for six hundred shekels of silver, 
 and an horse for an hundred and fifty : and so brought 
 they out horses for all the kings of the Hittites, and 
 for the kings of Syria, fly their means.

 AND Solomon" determined to build an house for the

Solomons message to Huram. 
 
 chap 
 
 3 IT And Solomon sent to || Huram the king of 
 Tyre, spying, "As thou didst deal with David my 
 father, and didst send him cedars to build him an 
 house to dwell therein, even so deal with me. 
 
 4 Behold, d l build an house to the name of the 
 Lord my God, to dedicate it to him, and 'to burn 
 before him f sweet incense, and for J the continual 
 shew-bread, and for s the burnt-offerings morning and 
 evening, on the sabbaths, and on the new-moons, 
 and on the solemn feasts of the Loud our God. 
 This is an ordinance for ever to Israel. 
 
 5 And the house which I build is great: for 
 * great is our God above all gods. 
 
 6 'But who fife able to build him an house, seeing 
 the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain 
 him? who am 1 then that I should build him an 
 house, save only to burn sacrifice before him? 
 
 7 Send me now therefore a man cunning to work 
 in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and 
 in purple, and crimson, and blue, and that can skill 
 t to grave with the cunning men that are with me 
 in Judah, and in Jerusalem, *whom David my father 
 did provide. 
 
 8 'Send me also cedar-trees, fir-trees, and Hal- 
 gum-trees out of Lebanon: (for I know that thy 
 servants can skill to cut timber in Lebanon;) and 
 behold, my servants shall be with thy servants, 
 
 9 Even to prepare me timber in abundance: for 
 the house which I am about to build shall be f won- 
 derful great. 
 
 10 "'And behold, I will give to thy servants, the 
 hewers that cut timber, twenty thousand measures 
 of beaten wheat, and twenty thousand measures of 
 barley, and twenty thousand baths of wine, and 
 twenty thousand baths of oil. 
 
 11 IT Then Huram the king of Tyre answered 
 in writing, which he sent to Solomon, "Because the 
 Lord hath loved his people, he hath made thee king 
 over them. 
 
 12 Huram said moreover, "Blessed be the Lord 
 God of Israel, ''that made heaven and earth, who 
 hath given to David the king a wise son, f endued 
 with prudence and understanding, that might build 
 an house for the Lord, and an house for his kingdom. 
 
 13 And now I have sent a cunning man, endued 
 with understanding, of Huram my father's, 
 
 14 'The son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, 
 aud 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 grave any manner of graving, 
 and to find out every device which shall be put to 
 him, with thy cunning men, and with the cunning 
 men of my lord David thy father. 
 
 15 Now therefore the wheat, and the barley, the 
 oil, and the wine which 'my lord hath spoken of, 
 let him send unto his servants; 
 
 lb' 'And we will cut wood out of Lebanon, fas 
 much as thou shalt need : and we will bring it to 
 thee in floats by sea to fJoppa; and thou shalt 
 carry it up to Jerusalem. 
 
 17 11 'And Solomon numbered all fthe strangers 
 that were in the land of Israel, after the numbering 
 wherewith "David his father had numbered them; 
 and they were found an hundred and fifty thousand 
 .Mid three thousand and six hundred. 
 
 18 And he set ^'threescore and ten thousand of them 
 to be bearers of burdens and fourscore thousand to

 The place and time of building the temple. 
 
 THEN "Solomon began to build the house of the 
 Lord at 'Jerusalem in mount Moriah, || where 
 the LORD appeared unto David his father, in the 
 place that David had prepared in the threshing-floor 
 of c || Oman the Jebusite. 
 
 2 And he began to build in the second day of 11. e 
 second month, in the fourth year of his reign. 
 
 3 irNow these are the tilings ''wherein Solomon was 
 t instructed 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 according to the breadth of the 
 house, twenty cubits, and the height was an hundred 
 and twenty : and he overlaid it within with pure gold. 
 
 5 And J the greater house he ceiled with fir-tree, 
 which he overlaid with fine gold, and set thereon 
 palm-trees and chains. 
 
 6 And he tg arn ished the house with precious 
 stones for beauty: and the gold was gold of Parvaim. 
 
 7 He overlaid also the house, the beams, the posts, 
 and the walls thereof, and the doors thereof, with 
 gold; and graved cherubims on the walls. 
 
 8 And he made the most holy house, the length 
 whereof ivas according to the breadth of the house, 
 twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty 
 cubits : and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting 
 to six hundred talents. 
 
 9 And the weight of the nails ivas fifty shekels of

 was on the top of each of them ivas five cubits. 
 
 16 And he made chains, as in the oracle, and put 
 them on the heads of the pillars; and made *an hun-

 17 And he 'reared up the pillars before the temple,

 pass it round about. 
 
 3 c And under it was the similitude of oxen, which 
 did compass it round about : ten in a cubit, compass- 
 ing the sea round about. Two rows of oxen were 
 cast, when it was cast. 
 
 4 It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward 
 the north, and three looking toward the west, and 
 three looking toward the south, and three looking 
 toward the east : and the sea was set above upon 
 them, and all their hinder parts ivere inward. 
 
 5 And the thickness of it was an hand-breadth, 
 and the brim of it like the work of the brim of a 
 cup, || with flowers of lilies ; and it received and 
 held d three thousand baths. 
 
 6 II He made also e ten lavers, and put five on 
 the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them : 
 t such things as they offered for the burnt-offering 
 they washed in them; but the sea was for the 
 priests to wash in. 
 
 7 •''And he made ten candlesticks of gold s accord- 
 ing to their form, and set them in 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 an hundred || basins of gold. 
 
 9 II 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 || basins. And Huram f finished the work that he 
 was to make for king Solomon for the house of God ; 
 
 12 To wit, the two pillars, and m the pommels, and 
 the chapiters which were on the top of the two pillars, 
 and the two wreaths to cover the two pommels of 
 the chapiters which were on the top of the pillars ; 
 
 13 And "four hundred pomegranates on the two 
 wreaths ; two rows of pomegranates on each wreath, 
 to cover the two pommels of the chapiters which 
 were fupon the pillars. 
 
 14 He made also "bases, and || lavers made he 
 upon the bases ; 
 
 15 One sea, and twelve oxen under it. 
 
 16 The pots also, and the shovels, and the flesh- 
 hooks, and all their instruments, did p Huram his 
 father make to king Solomon for the house of the 
 Lord, of f bright brass. 
 
 17 '' In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, 
 in the t clay ground between Succoth and Zeredathah. 
 
 18 r Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great 
 abundance ; for the weight of the brass could not 
 be found out. 
 
 19 If And 'Solomon made all the vessels that 
 were- for the house of God, the golden altar also, 
 and the tables Avhereon 'the shew-bread was set; 
 
 20 Moreover the candlesticks with their lamps, 
 that they should burn "after the manner before the

 rpiIUS "all the work that Solomon made for the 
 -*- house of the Lord was finished : and Solomon 
 brought in all the things that David his father had 
 dedicated ; and the silver, and the gold, and all the 
 instruments, put he among the treasures of the house 
 of God. 
 
 2 IT 6 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, 
 and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers 
 of the children of Israel, unto Jerusalem, to bring 
 up the ark of the covenant of the Lord c out of the 
 city of David, which is Zion. 
 
 3 d Wherefore all the men of Israel assembled 
 themselves unto the king c 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 tabernacle 
 of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that 
 ivere in the tabernacle, these did the priests and the 
 Levites bring up. 
 
 6 Also king Solomon, and all the congregation 
 of Israel that were assembled unto him before the 
 ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen, which could not bo 
 told nor numbered for multitude. 
 
 7 And the priests brought in the ark of the 
 covenant of the Lord unto nis place, to the oracle 
 of the house, into the most holy place, even under 
 the wings of the cherubims : 
 
 8 For the cherubims spread forth their wings 
 over the place of the ark, and the cherubims cov- 
 ered the ark, and the staves thereof above. 
 
 9 And they drew out the staves of the ark, that 
 the ends of the staves were seen from the ark 
 before the oracle ; but they were not seen without. 
 And || there it is unto this day. 
 
 10 There was nothing in the ark save the twe 
 tables which Moses ^pntiherein at Horeb, || when the 
 Lord 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 of the holy place, (for all the priests 
 that were t present were sanctified, and did not then 
 wait by course : 
 
 12 *Also the Levites which were the singers, all 
 of them of Asaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun, with their 
 sons and their brethren; being arrayed in white 
 linen, having cymbals and psalteries and harps, stood 
 at the east end of the altar, ''and with them an hun- 
 dred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets :) 
 
 13 It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and 
 singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard 
 in praising and thanking the Lord ; and when they 
 lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals 
 and instruments of music, and praised the Lord, 
 saying, 'For he is good; for his mercy endureth for 
 ever : that then the house was filled with a cloud, 
 even the house of the Lord ; 
 
 14 So that the priests could not stand to minister 
 by reason of the cloud : *for the glory of the Lord 
 had filled the house of God.

 Whole congregation of Israel: and all the congrega-

 4 And he said, Blessed betha Lord God of Israel, 
 who hath with his hands fulfilled that which he spake 
 with his mouth to my father David, saying, 
 
 5 Since the day that I brought forth my people 
 out of the land of Egypt I chose no city among all 
 the tribes of Israel to build an house in, that my 
 name might be there ; neither chose I any man to 
 be a ruler over my people Israel : 
 
 6 'But I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name 
 mignt be there ; and rf have chosen David to be over 
 *ny people Israel. 
 
 7 Now c it was in the heart of David my father 
 to build an house for the name of the Lord God 
 of Israel; 
 
 8 But the Lord said to David my father, Foras- 
 much as it was in thine heart to build an house for my 
 name, thou didst well in that it was in thine heart : 
 
 9 Notwithstanding, thou shalt not build the house ; 
 but thy son which shall come forth out of thy loins, 
 he shall build the house for my name. 
 
 10 The Lord therefore hath performed his word 
 that he hath spoken : for I am risen up in the room 
 of David my father, and am set on the throne of 
 Israel, as the Lord promised, and have built the house 
 for the name of the Lord God of Israel. 
 
 11 And in it have I put the ark, J wherein is the 
 covenant of the Lord, that he made with the chil- 
 dren of ] «rael. 
 
 12 IT* And he stood before the altar of the Lord 
 in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and 
 spread forth his hands: 
 
 13 (For Solomon had made a brazen scaffold, of 
 five cubits tl° n £> an( i fi ye cubits broad, and three 
 cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court : 
 and upon it he stood, and kneeled down upon his 
 knees before all the congregation of Israel, and 
 spread forth his hands toward heaven,) 
 
 14 And said, Lord God of Israel, h there is no 
 God like thee in the heaven, nor in the earth ; which 
 keepest covenant, and sheivest mercy unto thy ser- 
 vants, that walk before thee with all their hearts: 
 
 15 'Thou which hast kept with thy servant David 
 my father that which thou hast promised him; and 
 epakest with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with 
 thine hand, as it is this day. 
 
 16 Now therefore, Lord God of Israel, keep with 
 thy servant David my father that which thou hast 
 promised him, saying,. *f There shall not fail thee a 
 man in my sight to sit upon the throne of Israel; 
 yet so that thy children take heed to their w T ay to 
 walk in my law, as thou hast walked before me. 
 
 17 Now then, Lord God of Israel, let thy word 
 be verified, which thou hast spoken unto thy servant 
 David. 
 
 18 But will God in very deed 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, Lord my God, to 
 hearken unto the cry and the prayer which thy 
 servant prayeth before thee : 
 
 20 That thine eyes may be open upon this house 
 day and night, upon the place whereof thou hast 
 said, that thou wouldest put thy name there; to

 God giveth to Solomon promises upon condition. 
 
 TVTOW "when Solomon had made an end of pray- 
 -L i ing, the * fire came down from heaven, and con- 
 sumed the burnt-offering and the sacrifices; and 
 ' the glory of the Lord filled the house. 
 
 2 ^And the priests could not enter into the house 
 of the Lord, because the glory of the Lord had filled 
 the Lord's house. 
 
 3 And when all the children of Israel saw how 
 the fire came down, and the glory of the Lord upon 
 the house, they bowed themselves with their faces 
 to the ground upon the pavement, and worshipped, 
 and praised the Lord, "saying, For he is good; -Tor 
 his mercy endureth for ever. 
 
 4 II s Then the king and all the people offered 
 sacrifices before the Lord. 
 
 5 And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty 
 jind two thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty 
 thousand sheep. So the king and all the people 
 dedicated the house of God. 
 
 6 A And the priests waited on their offices: the 
 Levites also with instruments of music of the Lord, 
 which David the king had made to praise the Lord, 
 because his mercy endureth for ever, when David 
 praised f by their ministry ; and l the priests sounded 
 trumpets before them, and all Israel stood. 
 
 7 Moreover * Solomon hallowed the middle of the 
 court that was before the house of the Lord : for 
 theie he offered burnt>offerings, and the fat of the 
 peace-offerings, because the brazen altar which Solo- 
 mon had made was not able to receive the burnt- 
 
 fferings, 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 
 unto m the river of Egypt. 
 
 9 And in the eighth day they made f a solemn 
 assembly : for they kept the dedication of the altar 
 seven days, and the feast seven days.

 tents, glad and merry in heart for the goodness that 
 the Lord had shewed unto David, and to Solomon, 
 and to Israel his people. 
 
 11 Thus "Solomon finished the house of the Lord, 
 and the king's house: and all that came into Solo- 
 mon's heart to make in the house of the Lord, and 
 in his own house, he prosperously effected. 
 
 12 IT And the Lord appeared to Solomon by night, 
 and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, p and have 
 chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice 
 
 13 'If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, oc 
 if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if 
 I send pestilence among my people; 
 
 14 If' my people, t which are called by my name, 
 shall r humble themselves, and pray, and seek my 
 face, and turn from their wicked ways; 'then will I 
 hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and wiL] 
 heal their land. 
 
 15 Now 'mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears 
 attent f unto the prayer that is made in this placp 
 
 16 For now have "I chosen and sanctified this 
 house, that my name may be there for ever: and 
 mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually 
 
 17 * And as for thee, if thou wilt walk before 
 me, as David thy father walked, and do according 
 to all that I have commanded thee, and shalt observe 
 my statutes and my judgments : 
 
 18 Then will I establish the throne of thy king- 
 dom according as I have covenanted with David 
 thy father, saying, y -\ There shall not fail thee a 
 man to be ruler in Israel. 
 
 19 *But if ye turn away, and forsake my statutes 
 and my commandments, which I have set before you, 
 and shall go and serve other gods, and worship them ; 
 
 20 Then will I pluck them up by the roots out 
 of my land which I have given them ; and this house, 
 which I have sanctified for my name, will I cast out 
 of my sight, and will make it to be a proverb and a 
 by-word among all nations. 
 
 21 And this house, which is high, shall be an 
 astonishment to every one that passeth by it; so 
 that he shall say, " Why hath the Lord done thus 
 unto this land, and unto this house ? 
 
 22 And it shall be answered, Because they for- 
 sook the Lord God of their fathers, Avhich brought 
 them forth out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold oil 
 other gods, and worshipped them, and served them; 
 therefore hath he brought all this evil upon them.

 1 Solomon's buildings. 17 He fetcheth gold from Ophir. 
 
 AND "it came to pass at the end of twenty years, 
 wherein Solomon had built the house of the 
 Lord, and his own house, 
 
 2 That the cities which Huram had restored to 
 Solomon, Solomon built them, and caused the chil- 
 dren of Israel to dwell there. 
 
 3 And Solomon went to Hamath-zobah, and pre- 
 vailed against it. 
 
 4 6 And he built Tadmor in the wilderness, and 
 all the store-cities, which he built in Hamath. 
 
 5 Also he built Beth-horon the upper, and Beth- 
 horon the nether, fenced cities, with walls, gates, 
 and bars; 
 
 6 And Baalath, and all the store-cities that Solo 
 mon had, and all the chariot-cities, and the citie* 
 of the horsemen, and fall that Solomon desired to 
 build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and throughout 
 all the land of his dominion. 
 
 

 Solomms daihj and festival sacrifices. 
 
 7 M c As for all the people that were left of the Ilit- 
 lites, and the Amoritos, and the Perizzitcs, and the 
 [livites, and the Jebusites, which were not of Israel, 
 
 8 But of their children, who Avere 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 Solomon make 
 no servants for his work; but they ivere men of war, 
 and chief of his captains, and captains of his chariots 
 and horsemen. 
 
 10 And these were the chief of king Solomon's 
 officers, even d two hundred and fifty, that bare rule 
 over the people. 
 
 11 If And Solomon e brought up the daughter of 
 Pharaoh out of the city of David unto the house 
 that 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 f holy, whereunto the ark of 
 the Lord hath come. 
 
 12 II Then Solomon offered burnt-offerings unto 
 the Lord on the altar of the Lord, 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 solemn 
 feasts, g three times in the year, even in the feast of 
 unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and 
 in the feast of tabernacles. 
 
 14 Tf And he appointed, according to the order of 
 David his father, the * courses of the priests to their 
 seivice, and '" the Levites to their charges, to praise and 
 minister before the priests, as the duty of every day 
 required : the * porters also by their courses at every 
 gate : for f so had David the man of God commanded. 
 
 15 And they departed not from the commandment 
 of the king unto the priests and Levites concerning 
 any matter, or concerning the treasures. 
 
 16 Now all the work of Solomon was prepared 
 unto the day of the foundation of the house of the 
 Lord, and until it was finished. So the house of 
 the Lord was perfected. 
 
 17 If Then went Solomon. to 'Ezion-geber, and to 
 II Eloth, at the sea-side in the land of Edom. 
 
 18 ™ And Huram sent him by the hands of his ser- 
 vants, ships, and servants that 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. 
 
 CHAP. IX. 
 
 The queen of Sheba admireth the wisdom of Solomon. 
 
 AND "when the queen of Sheba heard of the 
 fame of Solomon, she came to prove Solomon 
 with hard questions at Jerusalem, with a very great 
 company, and camels that bare spices, and gold in 
 abundance, and precious stones : and when she was 
 come to Solomon, she communed with him of all 
 that was in her heart. 
 
 2 And Solomon told her all her questions : and there 
 was nothing hid from Solomon which he told her not. 
 
 3 And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wis- 
 dom of Solomon, and the house that he had built, 
 
 4 And the meat of his table, and the sitting of his 
 servants, .and the attendance of his ministers, and 
 their apparel ; his || cup-bearers also, and their appa- 
 rel; and his ascent by which he went up into the 
 bouse of the Lord, there was no more spirit in her.

 9 And she gave the king an hundred and twenty 
 talents of gold, and of spices great abundance, and 
 precious stones : neither was there any such spice 
 as the queen of Sheba gave king Solomon. 
 
 10 And the servants also of Huram, and the ser- 
 vants of Solomon, b which brought gold from Ophir, 
 brought c algum-trees and precious stones. 
 
 11 And the king made of the algum-trees || f ter- 
 races to the house of the Lord, and to the king's 
 palace, and harps and psalteries for singers : and there 
 were none such seen before in the land of Judah. 
 
 12 And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba 
 all her desire, whatsoever she asked, besides that 
 which she had brought unto the king. So she turned, 
 and went away to her own land, she and her servants. 
 
 13 If Now the weight of gold that came to Solo- 
 mon in one year was six hundred and threescore 
 and six talents of »old; 
 
 14 Besides that which chapmen and merchants 
 brought. And all the kings of Arabia and || governors 
 of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon. 
 
 15 If And king Solomon made two hundred tar- 
 gets of beaten gold : six hundred shekels of beaten 
 gold went to one target. 
 
 16 And three hundred shields made he of beaten 
 gold: three hundred shekels of gold went to one 
 shiekL And the king put them in the house of 
 the forest of Lebanon. 
 
 17 If Moreover, 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 fastened to the throne, 
 and f stays 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 upon the six steps. There was 
 not the like made in any kingdom. .

 king at Jerusalem.

 Jeroboam the son of Nebat?

 The Israelites assemble at Shechem lo crown Rehoboam. 
 
 AND ■ Rehoboam went to Shechem : for to She- 
 chem were all Israel come 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 Jeroboam 
 and all Israel came and spake to Rehoboam, saying, 
 
 4 Thy father made our yoke grievous : now there- 
 fore ease thou somewhat the grievous servitude of 
 thy father, and his heavy yoke that he put upon us, 
 and we will serve thee. 
 
 5 And he said unto them, Come again unto me 
 after three days. And the people departed. 
 
 6 IF And king Rehoboam took counsel with the 
 old men that had stood before Solomon his father 
 while he yet lived, saying, What counsel give ye 
 me to return answer to this people ? 
 
 7 And they spake unto 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 that 
 were brought up with him, that stood before him. 
 
 9 And he said unto them, What advice give ye, 
 '.hat we may return answer to this people, which 
 have spoken to me, saying, Ease somewhat the yoke 
 that thy father did put upon us ? 
 
 1U And the young men that were brought up with 
 him, spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou answer 
 the people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father 
 made our yoke heavy, but make thou it somewhat 
 lighter for us; thus shalt thou say unto them, My 
 little finger shall be thicker than my father's loins. 
 
 11 For whereas my father f put a heavy yoke 
 upon 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 Re- 
 hoboam on the third day, as the king bade, 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,

 15 So the king hearkened not unto the people: 
 c for the cause was of God, that the Lord miglit per- 
 form his word, which he spake by the "hand of Ahi- 
 jah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat. 
 
 16 If And when all Israel saw that the king would 
 not hearken unto them, the people answered the king, 
 saying, What portion have we in David ? and we have 
 none inheritance in the son of Jesse : every man to 
 your tents, Israel: and now, David, see to thine 
 own house. So all Israel went to their tents. 
 
 17 But as for the children of Israel that dwelt in 
 the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them. 
 
 18 Then king Rehoboam sent Hadoram that was 
 oyer the tribute ; and the children of Israel stoned 
 him with stones, that he died. But king Rehoboam 
 t made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to 
 Jerusalem. 
 
 19 e And Israel rebelled against the house of 
 David unto this day. 
 
 CHAP. XL 
 
 Rehoboam, preparing to subdue Israel, is forbidden by Shcmaiah. 
 
 AND "when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he 
 gathered of the house of Judah and Benjamin 
 an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men which 
 were warriors, to fight against Israel, that he might 
 bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam. 
 
 2 But the word of the Lord came '' to Shemaiah 
 the man of God, saying, 
 
 3 Speak unto Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king 
 of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, 
 saying, 
 
 4 Thus saith the Lord,, Ye shall not go up, nor 
 fight against your brethren: return every man to 
 his house : for this thing is done of me. And they 
 obeyed the words of the Lord, 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 Adullam, 
 
 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, fenced cities. 
 
 11 And he fortified the strong holds, and put cap- 
 tains in them, and store of victual, and of oil and Avine. 
 
 12 And in every several city he put shields and 
 
 spears, and made them exceeding 
 
 strong, having 
 
 Judah and Benjamin on his side. 
 
 13 II And the priests and the Levites that were 
 in all Israel f resorted to him out of all their coasts. 
 
 14 (For the Levites left ""their suburbs and their 
 possession, and came to Judah and Jerusalem : for 
 d Jeroboam and his sons had cast them off from exe- 
 cuting the priest's office unto the Lord : 
 
 15 'And he ordained him priests for the high 
 places, and for ■''the devils, 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 the Lord God of 
 Israel came to Jerusalem, to sacrifice unto the Lorl 
 God of their fathers. 
 
 17 So they ' strengthened the kingdom of Judah,

 and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong, 
 three years: for three years they walked in the 
 way of David and Solomon. 
 
 18 If And Rehoboam took him Mahalath the 
 daughter of Jerimoth the son of David to wife, and 
 Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse; 
 
 19 Which bare him children, Jeush, and Shama- 
 liah, and Zaham. 
 
 20 And after her he took *Maachah, the daughter 
 of Absalom ; which bare him Abijah, and Attai, and 
 Ziza, and Shelomith. 
 
 21 And Rehoboam loved Maachah the daughter 
 of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines : 
 (for he took eighteen wives, and threescore concu- 
 bines; and begat twenty and eight sons, and three- 
 score daughters. ) 
 
 22 And Rehoboam 'made Abijah the son of Maa- 
 chah the chief, to be ruler among his brethren: for 
 he thought to make him king. 
 
 23 And he dealt wisely, and dispersed of all his 
 children throughout all the countries of Judah and 
 Benjamin, unto every fenced city : and he gave them 
 victual in abundance. And he desired f many wives. 
 
 CHAP. XII. 
 
 Rehoboam, forsaking the Lord, is punished by Shishak. 
 
 AND "it came to pass, when Rehoboam had esta- 
 blished the kingdom, and had strengthened 
 himself, b he forsook the law of the Lord, 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 the Lord, 
 
 3 With twelve hundred chariots, and threescore 
 thousand horsemen: and the people were without 
 number that came with him out of Egypt; d the 
 Lubim&, the Sukkiims, and the Ethiopians. 
 
 4 And he took the fenced cities which pertained 
 to Judah, and came to Jerusalem. 
 
 5 H Then came e Shemaiah the prophet to Reho- 
 boam, and to the princes of Judah, that were gath- 
 ered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and 
 said unto them, Thus saith the Lord, f 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 
 * humbled themselves; and they said, ''The Lord is 
 righteous. 
 
 7 And when the Lord saw that they humbled 
 themselves, 'the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah, 
 saying, They have humbled themselves; therefore I 
 will not destroy them, but I will grant them || some 
 deliverance; and my wrath shall not be poured out 
 upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak. 
 
 8 Nevertheless *they shall be his servants; that 
 they may know 'my service, and the service of the 
 kingdoms of the countries. 
 
 9 m So Shishak king of Egypt came up against 
 -J erusalem, and took away the treasures of the house 
 of the Lord, and the treasures of the king's house; 
 lie took all : he carried away also the shields of gold 
 which Solomon had "made. 
 
 10 Instead of which, king Rehoboam made shields 
 of brass, and committed them "to the hands of the chief 
 of the guard, that kept the entrance of the king's house. 
 
 1 1 And when the king entered into the house of 
 the Lord, the guard came and fetched them, and 
 brought them again into the guard-chamber

 13 ISo king Rehoboam strengthened himself in 
 Jerusalem, and reigned : lor '' Rehoboam was one and 
 forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned 
 seventeen years in Jerusalem, ''the city which the 
 Lord 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 || prepared not 
 his heart to seek the Lord. 
 
 15 Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are 
 they not written in the tkook of Shemaiah the 
 prophet, r and of Iddo the seer concerning genealo- 
 gies? 'And there tvere wars between Rehoboam 
 and Jeroboam continually. 
 
 16 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and 
 was buried in the city of David: and 'Abijah his 
 son reigned in his stead. 
 
 CHAP. XIII. 
 
 Abijah succeeding, makelh war against Jeroboam. 
 
 OW °in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam 
 began Abijah 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 -\set 
 army of valiant men 
 thousand chosen men: 
 
 N 
 
 the battle in array with an 
 of war, even four hundred 
 Jeroboam also set the battle 
 in array against him with eight hundred thousand 
 chosen men, being mighty men of valour. 
 
 4 IF And Abijah stood up upon mount c Zema- 
 raim, which is in mount Ephraim, and said, Heai 
 me, thou Jeroboam, and all Israel; 
 
 5 Ought ye not to know that the Lord God of Is- 
 rael d gave the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, 
 even to him and to his sons e by a covenant of salt? 
 
 6 Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of 
 Solomon the son of David, is risen up, and hath 
 ■/"rebelled against his lord. 
 
 7 And there are gathered unto him s vain men, the 
 children of Belial, and have strengthened them- 
 selves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when 
 Rehoboam was young and tender-hearted, and could 
 not withstand them. 
 
 8 And now ye think to withstand the kingdom 
 of the Lord in the hand of the sons of David; and ye 
 be a great multitude, and there are with you golden 
 calves, which Jeroboam ''made you for gods. 
 
 9 'Have ye not cast out the priests of the Lord, 
 the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and have made 
 you priests after the manner of the nations of other 
 lands? *so that whosoever cometh fto consecrate 
 himself with a young bullock and seven rams, the 
 same may be a priest of them that are no gods. 
 
 10 But as for us, the Lord is our God, and we 
 have not forsaken him ; and the priests, which min- 
 ister unto the Lord, are the sons of Aaron, and the 
 Levites wait upon their business : 
 
 11 'And they burn unto the Lord every momma 
 and every evening burnt-sacrifices and sweet in 
 cense : the m shew-bread also set they in order upon 
 the pure table; and the candlestick of gold with 
 the lamps thereof "to burn every evening: for wh 
 keep the charge of the Lord our God; but ye have 
 forsaken hiir

 12 And behold, God himself is, with us for our 
 captain, 'and his priests with sounding trumpets to 
 cry alarm against you. O children of Israel, p tight 
 ye not against the Lord God of your fathers; for 
 ye shall not prosper. 
 
 13 If But Jeroboam caused an ambushment to 
 come about behind them: so they were before Ju- 
 dah, and the ambushment tvas behind them. 
 
 14 And when Judah looked back, behold, the bat- 
 tie tvas before and behind : and they cried unto the 
 Lord, and the priests sounded with the trumpets. 
 
 15 Then the men of Judah gave a shout: and as 
 the men of Jndah 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 there fell down slain of Israel 
 hve hundred thousand chosen men. 
 
 18 Thus the chddren of Israel were brought under 
 at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, ""be- 
 cause they relied upon the Lord God of their fathers. 
 
 19 And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took 
 cities from him, Beth-el with the towns thereof, and 
 Jeshanah with the towns thereof, and 'Ephraim with 
 the towns thereof. 
 
 20 Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again 
 in the days of Abijah* and the Lord 'struck him, 
 and "he died. 
 
 21 IT But Abijah waxed mighty, and married 
 fourteen wives, and begat 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 || story of 
 the prophet ^Iddo. 
 
 CHAP. XIV. 
 
 Asa destroyeth idolatry, and overcometh Zerah. 
 
 SO Abijah slept 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 
 the eyes of the Lord his God: 
 
 3 For he took away the altars of the strange 
 gods, and *the high places, and c brake down the 
 f images, ''and cut down the groves: 
 
 4 And commanded Judah to seek the Lord God 
 of their fathers, and to do the law and the com- 
 mandment. 
 
 5 Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah 
 the high places and the t images: and the kingdom 
 was quiet before him. 
 
 6 IfAnd he built fenced cities in Judah : for the 
 land had rest, and he had no war in those years; 
 because the Lord had given him rest. 
 
 7 Therefore he said unto Judah, Let us build 
 these cities, and make about them walls, and towers, 
 gates, and bars, while the land is yet before us ; be- 
 cause we have sought the Lord 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 of men that bare targets 
 and spears, out of Judah three hundred thousand; 
 and out of Benjamin, that bare shields and drew 
 bows, two hundred and fourscore thousand : all these 
 were mighty men of valour.

 Ethiopian, with an host of a thousand thousand, and 
 three hundred chariots; and came unto -^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 8 cried unto the Lord his God, and 
 said, Lord, it is ''nothing with thee to help, whether 
 with many, or with them that have no power : help 
 us, O Lord our God ; for we rest on thee, and 'in thy 
 name we go against this multitude. O Lord, thou 
 art our God ; let not || man prevail against thee. 
 
 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 unto ■ Gerar : and the Ethiopians were 
 overthrown, that they could not recover themselves ; 
 for they were f destroyed before the Lord, and before 
 his host; and they carried away very much spoil. 
 
 14 And the}'' smote all the cities round about 
 Gerar; for m the fear of the Lord came upon them: 
 and they spoiled all the cities; for there was ex- 
 ceeding much spoil in them. 
 
 15 They smote also the tents of cattle, and car- 
 ried away sheep and camels in abundance, and 
 returned to Jerusalem. 
 
 CHAP. XV. 
 
 Asa and Judah make a covenant with God. 
 
 AND "the spirit of God came upon Azariah the 
 son of Oded : 
 
 2 And he went out to f meet Asa, and said unto 
 him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; 
 6 The Lord is with you, while ye be with him; .and 
 c if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but ''if ye 
 forsake him, he will forsake you. 
 
 3 Now 'for a long season Israel hath been withuut 
 the true God, and without f & teaching priest, and 
 without law. 
 
 4 But s when they in their trouble did turn unto 
 the Lord God of Israel, and sought him, he was 
 found of them. 
 
 5 And ''in those times there was no peace to him 
 that went out, nor to him that came in, but great vex 
 ations were upon all the inhabitants of the countries. 
 
 6 * And nation was f destroyed of nation, and city 
 of city : for God did vex them with all adversity. 
 
 7 Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands 
 be weak ; for your work shall be rewarded. 
 
 8 And when Asa heard these words, and the 
 prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and 
 put away the fabominable idols out of all the land ot 
 Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities * which h« 
 had taken from mount Ephraim, and renewed the 
 altar of the Lord, that was before the porch of the 
 Lord. 
 
 9 And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and 
 •the strangers with them out of Ephraim and Manas- 
 sen, and out of Simeon : for they fell to him out of 
 Israel in abundance, when they saw that the Lord 
 his God was with him. 
 
 10 So they gathered themselves together at Je 
 rusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year 
 of the reign of Asa. 
 
 11 m And they offered unto the Lord fthe same 
 time, of "the spoil which they had brought, seven 
 hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep. 
 
 12 And they "entered into a covenant to seek 
 the Lord God of their fathers with all their head 
 and with all their soul; 
 
tlaasha huililcth Ramah, &c. 
 
 13 ''That whosoever would not seek the Lord 
 God of Israel 'should be put to death, whether 
 small or great, whether man or woman. 
 
 14 And they sware unto the Lord 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 r sought him 
 with their whole desire ; and he was found of them : 
 and the Lord gave them rest round about. 
 
 16 IF And also c oncerning ' Maachah the || mother 
 of Asa the king, he removed her from being queen, 
 because she had made an fidol in a grove: and 
 Asa cut down her idol, and stamped it, and burnt it 
 at the brook Kidron. 
 
 17 But 'the high places were not taken away out 
 of Israel : nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect 
 all his days. 
 
 18 IT And he brought into the house of God the 
 things that his father had dedicated, and that he 
 himself had dedicated, silver, and gold, and vessels. 
 
 19 And there was no more war unto the five and 
 thirtieth year of the reign of Asa. 
 
 CHAP. XVI. 
 
 Asa diverteth Baasha from building of Ramah. 
 
 IN the six and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa, 
 " Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah, 
 and built Ramah, Ho 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 the Lord and of the 
 king's house, and sent to Ben-hadad king of Syria, 
 that dwelt at f Damascus, 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 
 Baasha, king of Israel, that he may depart from me. 
 
 4 And Ben-hadad hearkened unto king Asa, and 
 sent the captains of "fhis 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 off building of 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 c Hanani the seer came to 
 Asa king of Judah, and said unto him, d Because 
 thou hast relied on the king of Syria, and not relied 
 ou the Lord thy God, therefore is the host of the 
 king of Syria escaped out of thine hand. 
 
 8 Were not 'the Ethiopians and-/ the Lubims fa 
 huge host, with very many chariots and horsemen? 
 yet, because thou didst rely on the Lord, he de- 
 livered them into thine hand. 
 
 9 *For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro 
 throughout the whole earth, || to shew nhneelf 
 strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect 
 toward him. Herein Hhou hast done foolishly: 
 therefore from henceforth 'thou shalt have wars. 
 
 10 Then Asa was wroth with the seer, and *put 
 him in a prison-house; for he was in a rage with 
 him because of this thing. And Asa f oppressed 
 some of the people the same time. 
 
 11 ir'And behold, the acts of Asa, first and last, 
 'o, they are written in the book of the kings of 
 iudab and Israel

 exceeding great: yet in his disease he "sought not

 13 IF "And Asa slept with his fathers, and died 
 in the one and fortieth year of his reign. 
 
 14 And they buried him in his own sepulchres 
 which he had f made for himself in the city of Da- 
 vid, and laid him in the bed which was filled 'with

 CHAP. XVII. 
 
 Jehoshaphat, succeeding Asa, reigncth and prospereth. 
 
 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 Ephraim, ''which Asa his father 
 had taken. 
 
 3 And the Lord was with Jehoshaphat, because 
 he walked in the first ways || of his father David, 
 and sought not unto Baalim ; 
 
 4 But sought to the LORD God of his father, 
 and walked in his commandments, and not after 
 f the doings of Israel. 
 
 5 Therefore the Lord stablished the kingdom iu 
 his hand; and all Judah rf f brought to Jehoshaphat pre- 
 sents; "and he had riches and honour in abundance. 
 
 6 And his heart || was lifted up in the ways of 
 the Lord : moreover -/'he took away the high places 
 and groves out of Judah. 
 
 7 IF 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 Nethaneel, and to Michaiah, 
 s 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 Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and 
 Tobijah, and Tobadonijah, Levites; and with them 
 Elishama and Jehoram, priests. 
 
 9 A And they taught in Judah, and had the book 
 of the law of the Lord with them, and went about 
 throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught the 
 people. 
 
 10 IF And 'the fear of the Lord ffell upon all the 
 kingdoms of the lands that were round about Judah, 
 so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat. 
 
 11 Also some of the Philistines * brought Jehosha- 
 phat presents 1 and tribute-silver ; and the Arabians 
 brought " 
 
 him flocks, seven thousand and 
 
 seven hun- 
 dred rams, and seven thousand and seven hundred 
 he-goats. 
 
 12 IF And Jehoshaphat waxed great exceedingly 
 and he built in Judah || castles, and cities of store. 
 
 13 And he had much business in the cities of 
 Judah : and the men of war, mighty men of valour, 
 were 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 valour three hundred thousand. 
 
 15 And fnext to him was Jehohanan the captain, 
 and with him two hundred and fourscore thousand. 
 
 16 And next him was Amasiah the son of Zichri, 
 'who willingly offered himself unto the Lord ; and with 
 him two hundred thousand mighty men of valour.

 the king put in the fenced cities throughout all Judah.

 Jehoshaphat goeth with Ahab against Ramoth-gilead. 
 
 NOW Jehoshaphat "had riches and honour in 
 abundance, and 'joined affinity with Ahab. 
 
 2 c And f after certain years he went down to 
 Ahab, to Samaria. And Ahab killed sheep and 
 oxen for him in abundance, and for the people that 
 he had with him, and persuaded him to go up with 
 him to Ramoth-gilead. 
 
 3 And Ahab king of Israel said unto Jehosha- 
 phat king of Judah, Wilt thou go with me to Ra- 
 moth-gilead ? And he answered him, I am as thou 
 irt, and my people as thy people; and we will be 
 with thee in the war. 
 
 4 IT And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, 
 'Inquire, I pray thee, at the word of the Lord to-day. 
 
 5 Therefore the king of Israel gathered together 
 of prophets four hundred men, and said unto them, 
 Shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I 
 forbear ? And they said, Go up ; for God will de- 
 liver it into the king's hand. 
 
 6 But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet 
 of the Lord f besides, that we might inquire of him ? 
 
 7 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, 
 There is yet one man, by whom we may inquire of 
 the Lord : but I hate him ; for he never prophesieth 
 good unto me, but always evil: the same is Micaiah 
 the son of Imla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not 
 the king say so. 
 
 8 And the king of Israel called for one of his 
 ;l officers, and said, f Fetch quickly Micaiah the son 
 of Imla. 
 
 9 And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king 
 of Judah sat either of them on his throne, clothed 
 in their robes, and they sat in a || void place at the 
 entering in of the gate of Samaria : and all the pro- 
 phets prophesied before them. 
 
 10 And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah had 
 made him horns of iron, and said, Thus saith the 
 Lord, With these thou shalt push Syria until f they 
 be consumed. 
 
 11 And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, 
 Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and prosper : for the Lord 
 shall deliver it into the hand of the king. 
 
 12 And the messenger that went to call Micaiah 
 spake to him, sa} r ing, Behold, the words of the 
 prophets declare good to the king f with one assent ; 
 let thy word therefore, I pray thee, be like one of 
 theirs, and speak thou good. 
 
 13 And Micaiah said, As the Lord liveth, e even 
 what my God saith, that will I speak. 
 
 14 And when he was come to the king, the king 
 said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth-gilead 
 to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go ye 
 up, and prosper, and they shall be delivered into 
 your hand. 
 
 15 And the king said to him, How many times 
 shall I adjure thee that thou say nothing but the 
 truth to me in the name of the Lord ? 
 
 16 Then he said, I did see all Israel scattered!

 and the Lord said, These have no master; let them

 17 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, 
 Did I not tell thee that he would not prophesy good 
 unto me, || but evil? 
 
 18 Again he said, Therefore hear the word of 
 the Lord : I saw the Lord sitting upon his throne, 
 and all the host of heaven standing on his righr 
 hand and on his left. 
 
 _ 19 And the Lord said, Who shall entice Ahab 
 king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth ■ 
 gilead ? And one spake saying after this manner, 
 and another saying after that manner. 
 
 20 Then there came out a -/'spirit, and stood be- 
 fore the Lord, and said, I will entice him. And the 
 Lord said unto him, Wherewith ? 
 
 21 And he said, I will go out, and be a lying 
 spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the 
 LORD said, Thou shalt entice him,, and thou shalt 
 also prevail : go out and do even so. 
 
 22 Now therefore, behold, ff the Lord hath put a 
 lying spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets, and 
 the Lord hath spoken evil against thee. 
 
 23 Then Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah came 
 near, and A smote Micaiah upon the cheek, and said, 
 Which way went the Spirit of the Lord from me to 
 speak unto thee? 
 
 24 And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see on 
 that day when thou shalt go || into f an inner cham- 
 ber to hide thyself. 
 
 25 Then the king of Israel said, Take } r e Micai- 
 ah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of 
 the city, and to Joash the king's son; 
 
 26 And say, Thus saith the king, 'Put this fellow 
 in the prison, and feed him with bread of afflic- 
 tion and with water of affliction, until I return in 
 peace. 
 
 27 And Micaiah said, If thou certainly return in 
 peace, then hath not the Lord spoken by me. And 
 he said, Hearken, all ye people. 
 
 28 So the king 01 Israel and Jehoshaphat the 
 king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead. 
 
 29 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, 
 I will disguise myself, and will go to the battle ; but 
 put thou on thy robes. So the king of Israel dis- 
 guised himself; and they went to the battle. 
 
 30 Now the king of Syria had commanded the 
 captains of the chariots that were with him, saying. 
 Fight ye not with small or great, save only with 
 the king of Israel. 
 
 31 And it came to pass, when the captains ol 
 the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, It is 
 the kino; of Israel. Therefore they compassed about 
 
 Jehoshaphat cried out, and the 
 and God moved them to depart 
 
 him to fight: but 
 Lord helped him; 
 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 ffrom pursuing him. 
 
 33 And a certain man drew a bow f at a venture, 
 and smote the king of Israel f between the joints 
 of the harness : therefore he said to his chariot-man. 
 Turn thine hand, that thou may est carry me out of 
 the host; for I am | wounded. 
 
 34 And the battle increased that day : howbeit 
 the king of Israel stayed himself up in his chariot 
 against the Syrians until the even : and about the 
 time of the sun going down he died.

 A ND Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to 
 £*- his house in peace to Jerusalem. 
 
 2 And Jehu the son of Hanani "the seer went 
 out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, 
 Shouldest thou help the ungodly, and *love them 
 that hate the Lord? therefore is c wrath upon thee 
 from before the Lord. 
 
 3 Nevertheless, there are d good things found in 
 thee, in that thou hast taken away the groves out of 
 the land, and hast 'prepared thine heart to seek God. 
 
 4 And Jehoshaphat dwelt at Jerusalem : and 
 f he went out again through the people from Beer- 
 sheba to mount Ephraim, and brought them back 
 unto the Lord God of their fathers. 
 
 5 IF And he set judges in the land throughout all 
 the fenced cities of Judah, city by city ; 
 
 6 And said to the judges, Take heed what ye 
 do : for •''ye judge not for man, but for the Lord, 
 r who is with you fin the judgment. 
 
 7 Wherefore now let the fear of the Lord be 
 upon you: take heed and do it: for ''there is no 
 iniquity with the Lord our God, nor 'respect of per- 
 sons, nor taking of gifts. 
 
 8 H Moreover, in Jerusalem did Jehoshaphat 
 *set of the Levites, and of the priests, and of the 
 chief of the fathers of Israel, for the judgment of 
 the Lord, and for controversies, when they returned 
 to Jerusalem. 
 
 9 And he charged them, saying, Thus shall ye 
 do 'in the fear of the Lord, faithfully, and with a 
 perfect heart. 
 
 10 "'And what cause soever shall come to you of 
 your brethren that dwell in their cities, between 
 blood and blood, between law and commandment, 
 statutes and judgments, ye shall even warn them 
 that they trespass not against the Lord, and so 
 "wrath come upon "you, and upon your brethren: 
 this do, and ye shall not trespass. 
 
 11 And behold, Amariah the chief priest is over 
 you ^in all matters of the Lord; and Zebadiah the

 1 Jehoshaphat proclaimeth a fast. 5 His prayer. 
 
 IT came to pass after this also, that the children of 
 Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them 
 other beside the Ammonites, came against Jehosha- 
 phat to battle. 
 
 2 Then there came some that told Jehoshaphat, 
 saying, There cometh a great multitude against thee 
 from beyond the sea on this side Syria ; and behold, 
 they be °in Hazazon-tamar, which is *En-gedi. 
 
 3 And Jehoshaphat feared, and set fhimself to 
 'seek the Lord, and "proclaimed a fast throughout 
 all Judah. 
 
 4 And Judah gathered themselves together, to 
 ask help of the Lord; even out of all the cities of 
 Judah they came to seek the Lord. 
 
 5 II And Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation 
 of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the Lord, 
 before the new court, 
 
 6 And said, Lord God of our fathers, art not 
 thou e God in heaven ? and -/'rulest not thou over all 
 the kingdoms of the heathen ? and « in thine hand is 1

 I Art not thou "our God, \who 'didst drive out the 
 inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and 
 ga .est it to the seed of Abraham thy friend for ever? 
 
 ft And they dwelt therein, and nave built thee a 
 Suhctuary therein for thy name, saying, 
 
 9 l Vi, when evil cometh upon us, as the sword, 
 judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we stand before 
 this house, and in thy presence, (for thy "name is in 
 this house,) and cry unto thee in our affliction, then 
 thou wilt hear and help. 
 
 10 And now, behold, the children of Ammon and 
 Moab, and mount Seir, whom thou "wouldest not 
 let Israel invade, when they came out of the land 
 of Egypt, but "they turned from them, and destroyed 
 them not; 
 
 II Behold, I say, how they reward us, Mo come 
 to cast us out of thy possession,. w T hich thou hast 
 given us to inherit. 
 
 12 O our God, wilt thou not 'judge them? for 
 we have no might against this great company that 
 cometh against us ; neither know we what to do : 
 but 'our eyes are upon thee. 
 
 13 And all Judah stood before the Lord, with 
 their little ones, their wives and their children. 
 
 14 HThen upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, 
 the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of 
 Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, 'came the 
 Spirit of the Lord in the midst of the congregation ; 
 
 15 And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye 
 inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehosha- 
 phat, Thus saith the Lord unto you, 'Be not afraid 
 nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; 
 for the battle is not yours, but God s. 
 
 16 To-morrow go ye down against them : behold, 
 they come up by the t cliff of Ziz; and ye shall 
 find them at the end of the || brook, before the wil- 
 derness of Jeruel. 
 
 17 "Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set 
 yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of 
 the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem; fear 
 not, nor be dismayed; to-morrow go out against 
 them: x for the Lord will be with you. 
 
 18 And Jehoshaphat y bowed his head with his 
 face to the ground : and all Judah and the inhabitants 
 of Jerusalem fell before the Lord, worshipping the 
 Lord. 
 
 19 And the Levites, of the children of the Ko- 
 hathites, and of the children of the Korhites, stood 
 up to praise the Lord God of Israel with a loud 
 voice on high. 
 
 20 II And they rose early in the morning, and 
 went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as 
 they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear 
 me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; 
 x Believe in the Lord your God, so shall ye be es- 
 tablished ; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper. 
 
 21 And when he had consulted with the people, 
 he appointed singers unto the Lord, "and fthat 
 should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went 
 out before the army, and to say, b Praise the Lord 
 c for his mercy endureth for ever. 
 
 22 Tlf And when they began fto sing and to 
 praise, d the Lord set ambushments against the chil- 
 dren of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were 
 come against Judah; and II they were smitten. 
 
 23 tor the children of Ammon 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 
 t to destroy another. 
 
 24 And when Judah came toward the watch- 
 tower in the wilderness, they looked unto the mul- 
 titude, and behold, they were dead bodies fallen to 
 the earth, and fnone 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 
 themselves, more than they could carry away : and 
 they were three days in gathering of the spoil, it 
 was so much. 
 
 26 TIAnd on the fourth day thev assembled them- 
 selves in the valley of || Berachah ; for there they bless- 
 ed the Lord : therefore the name of the same place 
 was called, The valley of Berachah, unto this day. 
 
 27 Then they returned, every man of Judah and 
 Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat in the f fore-front of 
 them, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for the 
 Lord had ff made them to rejoice over their enemies. 
 
 28 And they came to Jerusalem with psalteries 
 and harps and trumpets unto the house of the Lord. 
 
 29 And Ahe fear of God was on all the king- 
 doms of those countries, when they had heard that 
 the Lord fought against the enemies of Israel. 
 
 30 So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet: for 
 his B God gave him rest round about. 
 
 31 V'And Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah : he ivas 
 thirty and five years old when he bea;an to reign, and 
 He reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem. And 
 his mother's name ivas Azubah the daughter of Shilhi. 
 
 32 And he walked in the way of Asa his father, 
 and departed not from it, doing that which was right 
 in the sight of the Lord. 
 
 33 Howbeit, 'the high places were not taken 
 away : for as yet the people had not * prepared their 
 hearts unto the God of their fathers. 
 
 34 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first 
 and last, behold, they are written in the fbook of 
 Jehu the son of Hanani, 'who \is mentioned in the 
 book of the kings of Israel. 
 
 35 HAnd after this '"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, the Lord 
 bath broken thy works. "And the ships were bro- 
 ken, that they were not able to go to "Tarshish.

 Jehoram, succeeding Jehoshaphat, slayeth his brethren. 
 
 NOW "Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and 
 was buried with his fathers in the city of Da- 
 vid. And Jehoram his son || reigned in his stead. 
 
 2 And he had brethren the sons of Jehoshaphat, 
 Azariah, and Jehiel, and Zechariah, and Azailah, 
 and Michael, and Shephatiah: all these were the 
 sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel. 
 
 3 And their father gave them great gifts of silver, 
 and of gold, and of precious things, with fenced 
 cities in Judah : but the kingdom gave he to || Je- 
 horam; because he was the first-born

 4 Now when Jehoram was risen up to the king- 
 dom of his father, he strengthened himself, and 
 slew all his brethren with the sword, and divers also 
 of the princes of Israel. 
 
 5 T Jehoram was thirtyand two years oldwhen he be 
 gan to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. 
 
 6 And he walked in the way of the kings of Is- 
 rael, like as did the house of Ahab : for he had the 
 daughter of c Ahab to wife : and he 
 tvhich was evil in the eyes of the Lord 
 
 7 Howbeit the Lord would not destroy the house 
 of David, because of the covenant that he had made 
 with David, and as he promised to give a flight to 
 him and to his ''sons for ever. 
 
 8 If 'In his days the Edomites revolted from under 
 the fdominion of Judah, and made themselves a king. 
 
 9 Then Jehoram Avent forth with his princes, and all 
 his chariots with him : and he rose up by night, and 
 smote the Edomites which compassed him in, and the 
 captains of the chariots. 
 
 10 So the Edomites revolted from under the hand 
 of Judah unto this day. The same time also did 
 Libnah revolt from under his hand; because he had 
 forsaken the Lord God of his fathers. 
 
 11 Moreover, he made high places in the moun- 
 tains of Judah, and caused the inhabitants of Jeru- 
 salem to ^commit fornication, and compelled Judah 
 thereto. 
 
 12 IT And there came a || writing to him from 
 Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus saith the Lord 
 God of David thy father, Because thou hast not 
 walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat thy father, nor 
 in the ways of Asa king of Judah, 
 
 13 But hast walked in the way of the kings of Is- 
 rael, and hast ^macle Judah and the inhabitants of Je- 
 rusalem to ''go a whoring, like to the 'whoredoms of 
 the house of Ahab, and also hast * slain thy brethren 
 of thy father's house, tvhich were better than thyself: 
 
 14 Behold, with f a great plague will the Lord 
 smite thy people, and thy children, and thy wives, 
 and all thy goods : 
 
 15 And thou slialt have great sickness by 'disease 
 of thy bowels, until thy bowels fall out by reason 
 of the sickness day by day. 
 
 16 II Moreover, the Lord ""stirred up against Je- 
 horam the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Ara- 
 bians, that were near the Ethiopians: 
 
 17 And they came up into Judah, and brake into 
 it, and f carried away all the substance that w|jj 
 found in the king's house, and "his sons also, and ran 
 wives ; so that there was never a son left him, save 
 || Jehoahaz the youngest of his sons. 
 
 18 H || And after all this the Lord smote him "in 
 his bowels with an incurable disease. 
 
 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 sore diseases. 
 And his people made no burning for him, like ''the 
 burning; of his fathers. 
 
 20 Thirty and two years old was he when he 
 began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem eighl 
 years, and departed f without being desired: how- 
 beit they buried him in the city of David, but ncl 
 in the sepulchres of the kings. 
 
 CHAP. XXII. 
 
 1 Ahaziah reignelh wickedly. 5 He is slain by Jehu. 
 
 AND the inhabitants of Jerusalem made "Ahaziah 
 his youngest son king in his stead : for the band 
 
hi liallali' a usurpation : 
 
 of men that came with the Arabians to the camp 
 had slain all the * eldest. So Ahaziah the son of 
 Jehoram king of Judah reigned. 
 
 2 r Forty and two years old was Ahaziah when he 
 began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusa- 
 lem. His mother's name also was ''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 the Lord 
 like the house of Ahab: for they were his counsel- 
 lors, after the death of his father, to his destruction. 
 
 5 If He walked also after 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 -/'And he returned to be healed in Jezreel be- 
 cause of the wounds f which were given him at Ra- 
 mah, 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 Jez- 
 reel, because he was sick. 
 
 7 And the f destruction of Ahaziah *was of 
 God by coming to Joram: for when he was come, 
 he ''went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of 
 Nimshi 'whom the Lord had anointed to cut off the 
 house of Ahab. 
 
 8 And it came to pass, that when Jehu was 'ex- 
 ecuting judgment upon the house of Ahab, and 
 'found the princes of Judah, and the sons of the 
 brethren of \haziah, that ministered to Ahaziah, he 
 slew them. 
 
 9 m And he sought Ahaziah : and they caught him, 
 (fur he was hid in Samaria,) and brought him to Jehu: 
 and when they had slain him, they buried him : Be- 
 eause, said they, he is the son of Jehoshaphat, who 
 "sought the Lord with all his heart. So the house 
 of Ahaziah had no power to keep still the kingdom. 
 
 10 H°But WAen Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah 
 saw that her so" was dead, she arose, and destroyed 
 all the seed royal of the house of Judah. 
 
 11 But ''JfAoshabeath, the daughter of the king, 
 took Joash tl'.e son of Ahaziah, and stc-le him from 
 anion"' the king's sons that were slain, and put him 
 and his nurse in a bed-chamber. So Jehoshabeath, 
 the daughter of king Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada 
 the priest, (for she was the sister of Ahaziah,) hid 
 hiin from Athaliah, so that she slew him not. 
 
 12 And he was with them hid in the house of 
 God six years :

 AND "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 about 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 covenant 
 with the king in the house of God. And he said 
 unto them, Behold, the king's son shall

 5 And a third part shall be at the king's house 
 and a third part at the gate of the foundation : ami 
 all the people shall be in the courts of the house of 
 the Lord. 
 
 6 But let none come into the house of the Lord, 
 save the priests, and d they that minister of the Le- 
 vites ; they shall go in, for they are holy : but all 
 the people shall keep the watch of the Lord. 
 
 7 And the Levites shall compass the king round 
 about, every man with his weapons in his hand; 
 and whosoever 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 according to all 
 things that Jehoiada the priest had commanded, and 
 took every man his men that were to come in on the 
 sabbath, with them that were to go out on the sabbath: 
 for Jehoiada the priest dismissed not 'the courses. 
 
 9 Moreover, Jehoiada the priest delivered to the 
 captains of hundreds spears, and bucklers, and 
 shields, that had been king David's, which were in 
 the house of God. 
 
 10 And he set all the people, every man having 
 his weapon in his hand, from the right fside of the 
 t temple to the left side of the temple, along by the 
 altar and the temple, by the king round about. 
 
 11 Then they brought out the king's son, and 
 put upon him the crown, and J gave him the testi- 
 mony, and made him king. And Jehoiada and his 
 sons anointed him, and said, fGod save the king. 
 
 12 II Now when Athaliah heard the noise of the 
 people running and praising the king, she came to 
 the people into the house of the Lord : 
 
 lb And she looked, and behold, the king stoou 
 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, \ Treason, treason ! 
 
 14 Then Jehoiada the priest brought out the cap- 
 tains of hundreds that were set over the host, and said 
 unto them, Have her forth of the ranges : and whoso 
 followeth 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 was 
 come to the entering ''of the horse-gate by the king's 
 house, they slew her there. 
 
 1G H And Jehoiada made a covenant between him, 
 and between all the people, and between the king, 
 that they should be the Lord's people. 
 
 17 Then all the people went to the house of 
 Baal, and brake it down, and brake 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 the Lord by the hand of the priests the 
 Levites, whom David had * distributed in the house 
 of the Lord, to offer the burnt-offerings of the Lord, 
 as it is written in the 'law of Moses, with rejoicing 
 and with singing, as it was ordained fby David. 
 
 19 And he set the '"porters at the gates of the 
 house of the Lord, that none which was unclean in 
 any thing should enter in. 
 
 20 "And he took the captains of hundreds, and the 
 nobles, and the governors of the people, and all the 
 people of the land, and brought down the king from 
 the house of the Lord : and they came through to*

 upon the throne of the kingdom.

 (he city was quiet, after that they had slain Atha- 
 liah with the sword. 
 
 CHAP. XXIV.. 
 
 Joash r eigne! h well all the days of Jehoiada. 
 
 TO ASH a 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 thai tvhich was right in the 
 sight of the Lord all the days of Jehoiada the priest. 
 
 3 And Jehoiada took for him two wives; and he 
 begat sons and daughters. 
 
 4 HAnd it came to pass after this, that Joash 
 was minded f to repair the house of the Lord. 
 
 5 And he gathered together the priests and the 
 Levites, and said to them, Go out unto the cities of 
 Judah, and c gather of all Israel money to repair the 
 house of } r our God from year to year, and see that 
 ye hasten the matter. Howbeit the Levites has- 
 tened it not. 
 
 6 ''And the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and 
 said unto him, Why hast thou not required of the 
 Levites to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusa- 
 lem the collection, according to the commandment of 
 'Moses the servant of the Lord, and of the congre- 
 gation of Israel, for the ''tabernacle of witness ? 
 
 7 For *the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, 
 had broken up the house of God ; and also all the 
 * dedicated things of the house of the Lord did they 
 bestow upon Baalim. 
 
 8 And at the king's commandment 'they made a 
 chest, and set it without at the gate of the house of 
 the Lord. 
 
 9 And they made t& proclamation through Ju- 
 dah and Jerusalem, to bring in to the Lord Hue col- 
 lection thai Moses the servant of God laid upon 
 Israel in the wilderness. 
 
 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 what time the 
 chest was brought unto the king's office by the hand 
 of the Levites, and 'when they saw that there tvas 
 much money, the king's scribe and the high priest's 
 officer came and emptied the chest, and took it, and 
 carried it to his place again. Thus they did day 
 by day, and gathered money in abundance. 
 
 12 And the king^ and Jehoiada gave it to such as 
 did the work of the service of the house of the 
 Lord, and hired masons and carpenters to repair 
 the house of the Lord, and also such as wrought 
 iron and brass to mend the house of the Lord. 
 
 13 So the workmen wrought, and fthe work was 
 perfected by them, and they set the house of God 
 m his state, and strengthened it. 
 
 14 And when they had finished it, they brought 
 the rest of the mone}' - before the king and Jehoiada, 
 ""whereof were made vessels for the house of the 
 Lord, even vessels to minister, and il to offer withal, 
 and spoons, and vessels of gold and silver. And 
 they offered burnt-offerings in the house of the 
 Loud continually all the days of Jehoiada. 
 
 15 IT But Jehoiada waxed old, and was full of 
 days when he died; an hundred and thirty years 
 ■>lJ tvas he when he died. 
 
 16 And thev buried him in the city of David

 among 
 
 the kings, because he had done good ir 
 Israel, both toward God, and toward his house. 
 
 17 Now after the death of Jehoiada came the 
 princes of Judah, and made obeisance to the king. 
 Then the king hearkened unto them. 
 
 18 And they left the house of the Lord God oi 
 their fathers, and served "groves and idols : and "wrath 
 came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their trespass. 
 
 19 Yet he ^sent prophets to them, to bring them 
 again unto the Lord; and they testified against 
 them : but they would not give ear. 
 
 20 And 'the Spirit of God f came upon Zechariah 
 the son of Jehoiada the priest, whicn stood above 
 the people, and said unto them, Thus saith God, 
 'Why transgress ye the commandments of the Lord, 
 that ye cannot prosper? 'because ye have forsaken 
 the Lord, he hath also forsaken you. 
 
 _ 21 And they conspired against him, and 'stoned 
 him with stones at the commandment of the king, 
 in the court of the house of the Lord. 
 
 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. 
 The Lord look upon it and require it. 
 
 23 H And it came to pass fat 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 the spoil of them unto the king of f Damascus. 
 
 24 For the army of the Syrians a 'came with a 
 small company of men, and the Lord y delivered a 
 very great host into their hand, because they had 
 forsaken the Lord . God of their fathers. So they 
 * executed judgment against Joash. 
 
 25 And when they were departed from him, (tor 
 they left him in great diseases,) fl his own servants 
 conspired against him for the blood of the 4 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 they that conspired against 
 him; || Zabad the son of Shimeath an Ammonitess, 
 and Jehozabad the son of || Shimrith a Moabitess. 
 
 27 11 Now concerning his sons, and the greatness 
 of c the burdens laid upon him, and the f repairing 
 of the house of God, behold, they are written in the 
 II story of the book of the kings. d And Amaziah his 
 son reigned in his stead. 
 
 CHAP. XXV. 
 
 1 Amaziah's reign. 17 He provoketh Joash to his overthrow. 
 
 AMAZIAH "was twenty and five years old when 
 he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and 
 nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name 
 was Jehoaddaii of Jerusalem. 
 
 2 And he did that which was riclit in the sight oi 
 the Lord, 4 but not with a perfect heart. 
 
 3 H c Now it came to pass, when the kingdom 
 was f established to him, that he slew his servants 
 that had killed the king his father. 
 
 4 But he sleAV not their children, but did as it is 
 written in the law in the book of Moses, where the 
 Lord commanded, saying, ''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 H Moreover, Amaziah gathered Judah together, 
 and made them captains over thousands, and cap- 
 tains over hundreds, according to the houses oi' their 
 fathers, throughout all Judah and Benjamin : and ho 
 
?%.' Edomites overthrown. 
 
 CHAi'. XXVI. 
 
 Amaziah' s overtnrow, ftc 
 
 numbered them 'from twenty years old find above, and 
 found them three hundred thousand choice men, able 
 to go forth to war, that could handle spear and shield, 
 o He hired also an hundred thousand mighty men 
 of valour out of Israel for an hundred talents of silver. 
 
 7 But there came a man of God to him, saying, 
 king, let not the army of Israel go svith thee ; for 
 the Lord is not with Israel, to tvit. with all the chil- 
 dren of Ephraim. 
 
 8 But if thou wilt go, do it, be strong for the 
 battle : God shall make thee fall before the enemy : 
 fcr 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 fanny of Israel? And the man of God answered, 
 r The Lord is able to give thee much more than this. 
 
 10 Then Amaziah separated them, to wit, the army 
 that was come to him out of Ephraim, to go fhome 
 again: wherefore their anger was greatly kindled 
 against Judah, and they returned home f in great 
 anger. 
 
 11 If And Amaziah strengthened himself, and 
 led forth his people, and went Ho the valley of Salt 
 and smote of the children of Seir ten thousand. 
 
 12 And other ten thousand left alive did the chil- 
 dren of Judah carry away captive, and brought them 
 unto the top of the rock, and cast them down from the 
 top of the rock, that they all were broken in pieces. 
 
 13 If But fthe soldiers of the army which Ama- 
 ziah sent back, that they should not go with him to 
 battle, fell upon the cities of Judah, from Samaria 
 even unto Beth-horon, and smote three thousand 
 of them, and took much spoil. 
 
 14 If Now it came to pass, after that Amaziah 
 was come from the slaughter of the Edomites, that 
 he brought the gods of the children of Seir, and 
 
 set them up to be *his gods, and bowed down him- 
 self before them, and burned incense unto them. 
 
 15 Wherefore the anger of the Lord was kindled 
 against Amaziah, and he sent unto him a prophet, 
 which said unto him, Why hast thou sought after 
 •the gods of the people, which m could -not deliver 
 their own people out of thine hand? 
 
 16 And it came to pass, as he talked with him, that 
 the king said unto him, Art thou made of the king's 
 counsel? forbear; why shouldest thou be smitten? 
 Then the prophet forbare, and said, I know that God 
 hath f" determined to destroy thee, because thou hast 
 done this, and hast not hearkened unto my counsel. 
 
 17 If Then "Amaziah king of Judah took advice, 
 and sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of 
 Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us see one 
 another in the face. 
 
 18 And Joash king of Israel sent to Amaziah 
 king of Judah, saying, The || thistle that was in Le- 
 banon sent to the cedar that tvas in Lebanon, say- 
 ing, Give thy daughter to my son to wife : and 
 there passed by f a wild beast that was in Lebanon, 
 and trode down the thistle. 
 
 19 Thou sayest, Lo, thou hast smitten the Edom- 
 ites ; and thine heart lifteth thee up to boast : abide 
 now at home; why shouldest thou meddle to thine 
 hurt, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah 
 with thee? 
 
 20 But Amaziah would not hear; for ''it came of 
 God, that he might deliver them into the hand of their 
 enemies, because they 'sought after the gods of Edom 
 
 21 So Joash the king of Israel went up; and they

 22 And Judah was fput to the worse before Is-

 23 And Joash the king of Israel took Amaziah

 ffrom following the Lord they f ma de a conspiracy 
 against him in Jerusalem ; and he fled to Lachisn : but

 Uzziah invadeth the priest's office, and is smitten. 
 
 THEN all the people of Judah took "II, Uzziah 
 who was sixteen years old, and made him king 
 in the room of his father Amaziah. 
 
 2 He built Eloth, and restored it to Judah, after 
 that the king slept 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 that which was right in the sight of 
 the Lord, according to all that hi3 father Amaziah did. 
 
 5 And *he sought God in the days of Zechariah, 
 who c had understanding fin the visions of God: 
 and, as long as he sought the Lord, God made him 
 to prosper. 
 
 6 And he went forth and ''warred against the Phi- 
 listines, and brake down the wall of Gath, and the 
 wall of Jabneh. and the wall of Ashdod, and built 
 cities || about Ashdod, and among the Philistines. 
 
 7 And God helped him against e the Philistines, 
 and against the Arabians that dwelt in Gur-baal 
 and the Mehunims. 
 
 8 And the Ammonites -^ gave gifts to Uzziah: and 
 his name f spread abroad even to the entering in of 
 Egypt: for he strengthened himself exceedingly. 
 
 9 Moreover, Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem 
 at the ^corner-gate, and at the valley-gate, and at 
 the turning of the wall, and || fortified them. 
 
 10 Also he built towers in the desert, and || digged 
 many wells : for he had much cattle, both in the 
 low country, and in the plains; husbandmen also, 
 and vine-dressers in the mountains, and in || Carmel : 
 for he loved f husbandry. 
 
 11 Moreover, Uzzian had an host of fighting 
 men, that went out to war by bands, according to 
 the number of their account by the hand of Jeiel 
 the scribe and Maaseiah the ruler, under the hand 
 of Ilananiah, 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 hand was fan arm y> three 
 hundred thousand and seven thousand and five hun- 
 dred, that made war with mighty power, to help the 
 king against the enemy. 
 
 14 And Uzziah prepared for them throughout 
 all the host, shields, and spears, and helmets, and 
 habergeons, and bows, and f slings to cast stones. 
 
 15 And he made in Jerusalem engines, invented 
 by cunning men, to be on the towers and upon the 
 bulwarks, to shoot arrows and great stones withal. 
 And his name f spread far abroad ; for he Avas mar- 
 vellously helped, till he was strong. 
 
 16 HBut ''when he was strong, his heart was 
 lifted up to his destruction: for he transgressed 
 
 against the Lord his God, and '■'went into the temple of 
 the Lord to burn incense upon the altar of incense. 
 
 17 And 'Azariah the priest went in after him, 
 and with him fourscore priests of the Lord, that 
 were valiant men : 
 
 18 And they withstood Uzziah the king, and said 
 unto him, It '" appertaineth not unto thee, Uzziah, to 
 burn incense unto the Lord, but to the "priests, the 
 sons of Aaron, that are consecrated to burn incense : 
 go out of the sanctuary ; for thou hast trespassed ; nei- 
 ther shall it be for thine honour from the Lord God. 
 
 19 Then Uzziah was wroth, and had a censer in 
 his hand to burn incense : and while he was wroth 
 with the priests, "the leprosy even rose up in his 
 forehead before the priests in the house of the 
 Lord, from beside the incense altar. 
 
 20 And Azariah the chief priest, and all the 
 priests looked upon him, and behold, he was leprous 
 in his forehead, and they thrust him out from 
 thence; yea, himself ''hasted also to go out, because 
 the Lord had smitten him. 
 
 21 'And Uzziah the king was a leper unto the 
 day of his death, and dwelt in a 'f several house, 
 being a leper : for he w T as cut off from the house of 
 the Lord : and Jotham his son was over the king's 
 house, judging the people of the land. 
 
 22 IT Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and 
 last, did 'Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, write. 
 
 23 'So Uzziah slept 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 Jotham his son reigned in his stead.

 1 Jotham reigneth well. 9 Ahuz succe.edeth him. 
 
 JOTHAM "was twenty and five years old when 
 he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years 
 in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Jeru- 
 shah, the daughter of Zadok. 
 
 2 And he did that which was right in the sight 
 of the Lord, according to all that his father Uzziah 
 did : howbeit, he entered not into the temple of the 
 Lord. And 'the people did yet corruptly. 
 
 3 He built the high gate of the house of the 
 Lord, and on the wall of || Ophel he built much. 
 
 4 Moreover, he built cities in the mountains of 
 .Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers. 
 
 5 IT He fought also with the king of the Ammon- 
 ites, and prevailed against them. And the children of 
 Ammon gave him the same year an hundred talents of 
 silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten 
 thousand of barley. fSo much did the children of Am- 
 mon pay unto him, both the second year, and the third. 
 
 6 So Jotham became mighty, because he || pre-

 7 IF Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and ah 
 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 be- 
 gan to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. 
 
 9 U c And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they 
 buried him in the city of David: and Ahaz his son 
 reigned in his stead. 
 
 CHAP. XXVIII. 
 
 Ahaz reigning wickedly, is afflicted by the Syrians. 
 
 AHAZ "was twenty years old when he began to 
 reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusa- 
 lem: but he did not that tvhich was right in the 
 sight of the Lord, like David his father : 
 
 2 For he walked in the ways of the kings of 
 Israel, and made also 'molten images for 'Baalim. 
 
 3 Moreover, he || burnt incense in ''the valley of 
 the son of Hinnom, and burnt c his children in the 
 fire, after the abominations of the heathen whom 
 the Lord had cast out before the children of Israel. 
 
 4 He sacrificed also and burnt incense in the high 
 places, and on the hills, and under every green tree. 
 
 5 Wherefore •'the Lord his God delivered him 
 into the hand of the king of Syria; and they e smote 
 him, and carried away a great multitude of them 
 captives, and brought them to f Damascus. And he 
 was also delivered into the hand of the king of 
 Israel, who smote him with a great slaughter. 
 
 6 IT For h Pekah the son of Kemaliah slew in Ju- 
 dah an hundred and twenty thousand in one day, 
 which were all f valiant men ; because they had for- 
 saken the Lord God of their fathers. 
 
 7 And Zichri, a mighty man of L'phraim, slew 
 Maaseiah the king's son, and Azrikam the governor of 
 the house, and Elkanah that was fnext to the king. 
 
 8 And the children of Israel carried away captive 
 of their 'brethren two hundred thousand, women, 
 sons, and daughters, and took also away much spoil 
 from them, and brought the spoil to Samaria. 
 
 9 But a prophet of the Lord was there, whose 
 name was Oded : and he went out before the host 
 that came to Samaria, and said unto them, Behold, 
 * because the Lord God of your fathers was wroth 
 with Judah, he hath delivered them into your hand, 
 and ye have slain them in a rage that 'reacheth up 
 unto heaven. 
 
 10 And now ye purpose to keep under the chil- 
 dren of Judah and Jerusalem for '"bond-men and 
 bond-women unto you : but are there not with vou. 
 even with you, sins against the Lord your God? 
 
 11 Now hear me therefore, and deliver the cap- 
 tives again, which ye have taken captive of your 
 brethren : "for the fierce wrath of the Lord is upon you. 
 
 12 Then certain of the heads of the children of 
 Ephraim, Azariah the son of Johanan, Berechiuh 
 the son of Meshillemoth, and Jehizkiah the son of 
 Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai, stood up 
 against them that came from the war, 
 
 13 And said unto them, Ye shall not bring in the 
 captives hither : for whereas we have offended against 
 the Lord already, ye intend to add more to our sins 
 and to our trespass : for our trespass is great, ai.d 
 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 "which were expressed by name 
 rose up, and took the captives, and with tiie spoil 
 clothed all that were naked among them, and arrayed 
 
Hezekiah succcedclh Ahaz. 
 
 CHAP. XXIX. 
 
 The house of God clean teU- 
 
 them, and shod them, and ''ga\e them to eat and to 
 drink, and anointed them, and carried all the feeble 
 of them upon asses, and brought them to Jericho, 
 the city of palm-trees, to their brethren: then 
 they returned to Samaria. 
 
 1G IT 'At that time did king Ahaz send unto the 
 kings of Assyria to help him. 
 
 17 For again the Edomites had come and smit- 
 ten Judah, and carried away f captives. 
 
 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, Gimso also and the vil- 
 lages thereof: and they dwelt there. 
 
 19 For the Lord brought Judah low because of 
 Ahaz king of 'Israel: for he "made Judah naked, 
 and transgressed sore against the Lord. 
 
 20 And * Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria came un- 
 to him, and distressed him, but strengthened him not. 
 
 21 For Ahaz took away a portion out of the house 
 of the Lord, and out oi the house of the king, 
 and of the princes, and gave it unto the king of 
 Assyria : but he helped him not. 
 
 22 II And in the time of his distress did he trespass 
 yet more against the Lord : this is that king Ahaz. 
 
 23 For y ne sacrificed unto the gods of f Damascus, 
 which smote him : and he said, Because the gods of 
 the kings of Syria help them, therefore will I sacri- 
 fice to them, that *they may help me. But they 
 were the ruin of him, and of all Israel. 
 
 24 And Ahaz gathered together the vessels 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 the Lord, and he made him altars in every 
 corner of Jerusalem. 
 
 25 And in every several city of Judah he made 
 high places || to burn incense unto other gods, and 
 provoked to anger the Lord God of his fathers. 
 
 26 IT* 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 slept with his fathers, and they bu- 
 ried him in the city, even in Jerusalem : but they 
 brought him not into the sepulchres of the kings of 
 Israel: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead. 
 
 CHAP. XXIX. 
 
 1 Uezekiah's good reign. 4 He restoreth religion. 
 
 HEZEKIAH "began to reign when he was five 
 and twenty years old, and he reigned nine and 
 twenty years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name 
 was Abijah the daughter *of Zechariah. 
 
 2 And he did that which was right in the sight of the 
 
 Lord, according to all that David his father had done. 
 
 o 11 He, in the first year of his reign, in the first 
 
 month. c 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 together into the east street," 
 
 5 And said unto them, Hear me, ye Levites; 
 * Sanctify now yourselves, and sanctify the house of 
 the Lord God of your fathers, and carry forth the 
 filthiness out of the holy place. 
 
 6 For our fathers have trespassed, and done that 
 which was evil in the eyes of the Lord our God, and 
 have forsaken him, and have 'turned away their 
 faces from the habitation of the Lord, and f turned 
 their backs

 8 Wherefore the 'wrath of the Lord was upon

 9 For lo, 'our fathers have fallen by the sword,

 10 Now it is in mine heart to make *a covenant

 12 IT Then the Levites arose, Mahath the son of 
 Amasai, and Joel the son of Azariah, of the sons of 
 the Kohathites : and of the sons of Merari ; Kish 
 the son of Abdi, and Azariah the son of Jehalelel: 
 and of the Gershonites ; Joah the son of Zimmah, 
 and Eden the son of Joah: 
 
 13 And of the sons of Elizaphan; Shimri, and 
 Jeiel: and of the sons of Asaph; Zechariah, and 
 Mattaniah : 
 
 14 And of the sons of Heman; Jehiel, and Shi- 
 mei: and of the sons of Jeduthun; Shemaiah, and 
 Uzziel. 
 
 15 And they gathered their brethren, and '"sanc- 
 tified themselves, and came, according to the com- 
 mandment of the king, || by the words of the Lord, 
 "to cleanse the house of the Lord. 
 
 16 And the priests went into the inner part of 
 the house of the Lord, to cleanse ii\ and brought 
 out all the uncleanness that they found in the tem- 
 ple of the Lord into the court of the house of the 
 Lord. And the Levites took it, to carry it out 
 abroad intc 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 
 came they to the porch of the Lord: so they sanc- 
 tified the house of the Lord, in eight days; and in 
 the sixteenth 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 the Lord, 
 and the altar of burnt-offering, with all the vessels 
 thereof, and the shew-bread table, with all the ves- 
 sels thereof. 
 
 19 Moreover all the vessels, which king Ahaz in 
 his reign did "cast away in his transgression, have 
 we prepared and sanctified, and behold, they are 
 before the altar of the Lord. 
 
 20 IF Then Hezekiah the "king rose early, and 
 gathered the rulers of the city, and went up to the 
 house of the Lord. 
 
 21 And they brought seven bullocks, and seven 
 rams, and seven lambs, and seven he-goats, for a 
 ''sin-offering for the kingdom, and for the sanctuary, 
 and for Judah. And he commanded the priests the 
 sons of Aaron to offer them on the altar of the Lord. 
 
 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 sprin- 
 kled the blood upon the altar : they killed also the 
 lambs, and they sprinkled the blood upon the altar. 
 
 23 And they brought t forth the he-goats for the

 sin-offering before the king and the congregation ; 
 and they laid their r hands upon them: 
 
 24 And the priests killed them, and they made 
 reconciliation with their blood upon the altar, Ho 
 make an atonement for all Israel : for the king com- 
 manded that the burnt-offering and the 
 should be made for all Israel. 
 
 25 'And he set the Levites in the house of the Lord 
 with cymbals, with psalteries, and with harps, "ac- 
 cording to the commandment of David, and of x Gad 
 the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet: y for so was 
 the commandment f of the Lord f by his prophets. 
 
 26 And the Levites stood with the instruments 
 r of David, and the priests with "the trumpets. 
 
 27 And Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt- 
 offering upon the altar. And fwhen the burnt- 
 offering began, *the song of the Lord began also 
 with the trumpets, and with the f instruments 
 ordained by David king of Israel. 
 
 28 And all the congregation worshipped, and 
 the t sm g ers san g? aD -d the trumpeters sounded: 
 and all this continued until the burnt-offering was 
 finished. 
 
 29 And when they had made an end of offering, 
 f the king and all that were f present with him 
 bowed themselves, and worshipped. 
 
 30 Moreover, Hezekiah the king and the princes 
 commanded the Levites to sing praise unto the Lord 
 with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. 
 And they sang praises with gladness, and they 
 bowed their heads and worshipped. 
 
 31 Then Hezekiah answered and said, Now ye 
 have || consecrated yourselves unto the Lord, come 
 near and bring sacrifices and ''thank-offerings into 
 the house of the Lord. And the congregation 
 brought in sacrifices and thank-offerings; and, as 
 many as were of a free heart, burnt-offerings. 
 
 32 And the number of the burnt-offerings, which 
 the congregation brought, was threescore and ten 
 bullocks, an hundred rams, and, two hundred lambs : 
 all these were for a burnt-offering to the Lord. 
 
 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 f did help them till the work 
 was ended, and until the other priests had sanctified 
 themselves: •'for the Levites were more * upright in 
 heart to sanctify themselves than the priests.

 thing 
 
 f pleased the king and all tlif 
 
 4 And the 
 congregation. 
 
 5 So they established a decree to make procla- 
 mation throughout all Israel, from Beer-sheba even lu 
 Dan, that they should come to keep the passover unto 
 the Lord God of Israel at Jerusalem : for they had 
 not done it of a long time in such sort as it was written. 
 
 6 So the posts went with the letters ffrom the 
 king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, 
 and according to the commandment of the king, say- 
 ing, Ye children of Israel, ''turn again unto the Lord 
 God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he will re- 
 turn to the remnant of you that are escaped out 
 of the hand of f the kings of Assyria. 
 
 7 And be not ye -Hike your fathers, and like your 
 brethren, which trespassed against the Lord God 
 of their fathers, ivho therefore *gave them up to 
 desolation, as ye see. 
 
 8 Now |be ye not k stiff-necked, as your fathers 
 were, but f yield yourselves unto the Lord, and enter 
 into his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified for ever : 
 and serve the Lord your God, 'that the fierceness 
 of his wrath may turn away from you. 
 
 9 For if ye turn again unto the Lord, your 
 brethren and your children shall find * compassion 
 before them that lead them captive, so that they 
 shall come again into this land : for the Lord your 
 God is 'gracious and merciful, and will not turn 
 away his face from you, if ye ""return unto him. 
 
 10 So the posts passed from city to city through 
 the country of Ephraim and Manasseh even unto 
 Zebulun: but "they laughed them to scorn, and 
 mocked them. 
 
 11 Nevertheless, "divers of Asher and Manasseh 
 and of Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to 
 Jerusalem. 
 
 12 Also in Judah ; 'the hand of God was to give 
 them one heart to do the commandment of the king 
 and of the princes, 9 by the word of the Lord. 
 
 13 IT And there assembled at Jerusalem much 
 people to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the 
 second month, a very great congregation. 
 
 14 And they arose and took away the r altars that 
 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 four- 
 teenth day of the second month: and the priests 
 and the Levites were 'ashamed, and sanctified them- 
 selves, and brought in the burnt-offerings into' the 
 house of the Lord. 
 
 16 And they stood in f their place after their 
 manner, according to the law of Moses the man <>? 
 
 received of the hand of the Levites. 
 
 17 For there were many in the congregation that 
 were not sanctified: 'therefore the Levites had the 
 charge of the killing of the passovers for every one 
 that was not clean, to sanctify them unto the Lord. 
 
 18 For a multitude of the people, even "many of 
 Ephraim, and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun, had 
 not cleansed themselves, x y et did they eat the passover 
 otherwise than it was written. But Hezekiah prayed 
 for them, saying, The good Lord pardon every one

 Lord God of his fathers, though he be not cleansed

 20 And the Lord hearkened to Hezekiah, and 
 healed the people. 
 
 21 And the children of Israel that were f present 
 at Jerusalem kept *the feast of unleavened bread 
 seven days with great gladness : and the Levites 
 and the priests praised the Lord day by day, sing- 
 ing with floud instruments unto the Lord. 
 
 22 And Hezekiah spake f comfortably unto all 
 the Levites "that taught the good knowledge of the 
 Lord : and they did eat throughout the feast seven 
 days, offering peace-offerings, and ' making confes- 
 sion to the Lord God of their fathers. 
 
 23 And the whole assembly took counsel to keep 
 r other seven days: and they Kept other seven da}'s 
 with gladness. 
 
 24 For Hezekiah king of Judah f ''did give to the 
 congregation a thousand bullocks and seven thou- 
 sand sheep; and the princes gave to the congrega- 
 tion a thousand bullocks 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 
 
 of Israel, and the strangers that 
 land of Israel, and that dwelt in 
 
 in Jerusalem : for

 ■/"that came out

 26 So there was great joy 
 since the time of Solomon the son of David 
 of Israel there was not the like in Jerusalem. 
 
 27 IT Then the priests the Levites arose and 
 e blessed the people: and their voice was heard, 
 and their prayer came up to this holy dwelling- 
 place, even unto heaven.

 The people forward in destroying idolatry. 
 
 NOW when all this was finished, all Israel that 
 were f present went out to the cities of Judah, 
 and "brake the f images 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, f until they had utterly destroy- 
 ed them all. Then all the children of Israel return- 
 ed, every man to his possession, into their own cities. 
 
 2 IT And Hezekiah appointed 'the courses of the 
 priests and the Levites after their courses, every 
 man according to his service, the priests and Le- 
 vites r for burnt-offerings and for peace-offerings, to 
 minister, and to give thanks, and to praise in the 
 gates of the tents of the Lord. 
 
 3 He appointed also the king's portion of his sub- 
 stance for the burnt-offerings, to zvit, for the morning 
 aud evening burnt-offerings, and the burnt-offerings 
 for the sabbaths, and for the new moons, and for the 
 set feasts, as it is written in the ''law of the Lord. 
 
 4 Moreover he commanded the people that dwelt 
 in Jerusalem to give the c portion of the priests and 
 the Levites, that they might be encouraged in -/'the 
 law of the Lord. 
 
 5 11 And as soon as the commandment fcame 
 abroad, the children of Israel brought in abundance 
 
 the first-fruits of corn, wine, and oil, and || honey, 
 and of all the increase of the field; and 'the tithe 
 of all things brought they in abundantly. 
 
 6 And concerning the children of Israel and Ju- 
 dah, that dwelt in the cities of Judah, they also 
 brought in the tithe of oxen and sheep, and the 
 1 tithe of holy things which were consecrated unto 
 the Lord their God, and laid them \ by heaps.

 seventh month. 
 
 8 And when Hezekiah and the princes came and 
 saw the heaps, they blessed the Lord, and his pec»- 
 ple 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 be- 
 
 fan to bring the offerings into the house of tho 
 (Ord, we have had enough to eat, and have loft 
 plenty: 'for the Lord hath blessed his people; anl 
 that which is left is this great store. 
 
 11 YThen Hezekiah commanded to prepare Hcham- 
 bersin the house of the Lord; and the}' prepared them, 
 
 12 And brought in the offerings and the tithes, 
 and the dedicated things faithfully: *over which 
 Cononiah the Levite was ruler, 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 over- 
 seers f under the hand of Cononiah and Shimei his 
 brother, at the commandment of Hezekiah the king, 
 and Azariah the ruler of the house of God. 
 
 14 And Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the 
 porter toward the east, was over the free-will- 
 offerings of God, to distribute the oblations of the 
 Lord, and the most holy things. 
 
 15 And fnext 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 Beside their genealogy of males, from three 
 years old and upward, even unto every one that 
 entereth into the house of the Lord, his daily por- 
 tion for their service in their charges according to 
 their courses; 
 
 17 Both to the genealogy of the priests by the house 
 of their fathers, and the Levites '"from twenty years 
 old and upward, in their charges, by their courses; 
 
 18 And to the genealog} r of all their little ones, 
 their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, 
 through all the congregation: for in their || set 
 office they sanctified themselves in holiness. 
 
 19 Also of the sons of Aaron the priests, which 
 were in "the fields of the suburbs of their cities, in 
 every several city, the men that were "expressed 
 by name, to give portions to all the males among 
 the priests, and to all that were reckoned by gene- 
 alogies among the Levites. 
 
 20 IT And thus did Hezekiah throughout all Ju- 
 dah, and p wrought that which was good and right 
 and truth before the Lord his God. 
 
 21 And in every work that he began in the ser- 
 vice 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 prospered.

 AFTER "these things, and the establishment 
 thereof, Sennacherib king of Assyria came, and 
 entered into Judah, and encamped against the 
 fenced cities, and thought t to win them for himself.

 Hezekiah 7 s riches and work* 
 
 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 was gathered much people together, 
 who stopped all the fountains, and the brook that fran 
 through the midst of the land, saying, Why bhould 
 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 without, and repaired 
 'Millo in the city of David, and made || darts and 
 shields in abundance. 
 
 6 And he set captains of war over the people, and 
 gathered them together to him in the street of the gate 
 of the city, and f spake 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 Avith him: for B there be more with 
 us than with him. 
 
 8 With him is an * arm of flesh ; but * with us is 
 the Lord our God to help us, and to fight our bat- 
 tles. And the people f rested themselves upon the 
 words of Hezekiah king of Judah. 
 
 9 If* After this did Sennacherib king of Assyria 
 send his servants to Jerusalem, (but he himself laid 
 siege against Lachish, and all his f power with him,) 
 unto Hezekiah king of Judah, and unto all Judah 
 that were at Jerusalem, saying, 
 
 10 'Thus saith Sennacherib king of Assyria, 
 Whereon do ye trust, that ye abide || in the siege 
 in Jerusalem? 
 
 11 Doth not Hezekiah persuade you to give over 
 yourselves to die by famine and by thirst, saying, 
 m The Lord our God shall deliver us out of the hand 
 of the king of Assyria? 
 
 12 "Hath not the same Hezekiah taken away his 
 high places, and his altars, and commanded Judah 
 and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall worship before one 
 altar, and burn incense upon it? 
 
 13 Know ye not what I and my fathers have 
 done unto all the people of other lands? "were the 
 gods of the nations of those lands any ways able to 
 deliver their lands out of mine hand ? 
 
 14 Who was there among all the gods of those 
 nations that my fathers utterly destroyed, that 
 could deliver his people out of mine hand, that your 
 God should be able to deliver you out of mine hand? 
 
 15 Now therefore ^let not Hezekiah deceive you, 
 nor persuade you on this manner, neither yet be- 
 lieve him : for no god of any nation or kingdom was 
 able to deliver his people out of mine hand, and out 
 of the hand of my fathers : how much less shall 
 your God deliver you out of mine hand ? 
 
 16 And his servants spake yet more against the 
 Lord God, and against his servant Hezekiah. 
 
 17 g He wrote also letters to rail on the Lord God 
 of Israel, and to speak against him, saying, r As the 
 gods of the nations of other lands have not delivered 
 their people out of mine hand, so shall not the God 
 of Hezekiah deliver his people out of mine hand. 
 
 18 'Then they cried with a loud voice, in the 
 Jews' speech, unto the people of Jerusalem 'that 
 were on the wall, to affright them, and to trouble 
 them ; that they might take the city. 
 
 19 And they spake against the God of Jerusa- 
 lem, as against the gods of the people of the earth, 
 which were "the work of the hands of man.

 Hhe prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz, prayed and 
 cried to heaven. 
 
 21 H z And the Lord sent an angel, which cut 
 off all the mighty men of valour, and the leaders 
 and captains in the camp of the king of Assyria. 
 So he returned with shame of face to his own land. 
 And when he was come into the house of his god. 
 they that came forth of his own bowels f slew him 
 there with the sword. 
 
 22 Thus the Lord saved Hezekiah and the iff- 
 habitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherir 
 the king of Assyria, and from the hand of all other 
 and guided them on every side. 
 
 23 And many brought gifts unto the Lord to Je- 
 rusalem, and t" presents to Hezekiah king of Judah : 
 so that he was * magnified in the sight of all nations 
 from thenceforth. 
 
 24 ir c In those days Hezekiah was sick to the 
 death, and prayed unto the Lord: and he spake 
 unto him, and he || gave him a sign. 
 
 25 But Hezekiah ''rendered not again according 
 to the benefit done unto him; for 'his heart was, 
 lifted up: •>' therefore there was wrath upon him, 
 and upon Judah and Jerusalem. 
 
 26 e Notwithstanding, Hezekiah humbled himself 
 for f the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabi 
 tants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of the Lord 
 came not upon them A in the days of Hezekiah. 
 
 27 II And Hezekiah had exceeding much riches and 
 honour : and he made himself treasuries for silver, 
 and for gold, and for precious stones, and for spices, 
 and for shields, and for all manner of fpleasant jewels : 
 
 28 Storehouses also for the increase of corn, and 
 wine, and oil; and stalls for all manner of beasts, 
 and cotes for flocks. 
 
 29 Moreover, he provided him cities, and pos- 
 sessions of flocks and herds in abundance: for 'God 
 had given him substance very much. 
 
 30 *This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper 
 water-course of Gihon, and brought it straight down 
 to the west side of the city of David. And Heze- 
 kiah prospered in all his works. 
 
 31 HHowbeit, in the business of the f ambassa- 
 dors of the princes of Babylon, who 'sent unto him 
 to inquire of the wonder that was done in the land, 
 God left him, to '"try him, that he might know all 
 that was in his heart. 
 
 32 UNow the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and 
 his f goodness, behold, they are written in "the 
 vision of Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, and 
 in the "book of the kings of Judah and Israel. 
 
 33 ^And Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and 
 they buried him in the || chiefest of the sepulchres 
 of the sons of David : and all Judah and the in- 
 habitants of Jerusalem did him 'honour at his death : 
 and Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.

 MANASSEH "was twelve years old when he 
 began to reign, and he reigned fifty and five 
 years in Jerusalem : 
 
 2 But did that which was evil in the sight of the Lob 1 
 like unto the * abominations of the heathen, whom 
 the Lord had cast out before the children of Israel. 
 
 3 HFor fhe built again the high places which 
 Hezekiah his father had 'broken down; and he rear-

 4 Also he built altars in the house of the Lord, 
 whereof the Lord had said, •'In Jerusalem shall my 
 name be for ever. 
 
 5 And he built altars for all the host of heaven 
 r in the two courts of the house of the Lord. 
 
 6 A And he caused his children to pass through 
 the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: 'also 
 he observed times, and used enchantments, and used 
 witchcraft, and * dealt with a familiar spirit, and 
 with wizards: he wrought much evil in the 
 of the Lord, to provoke him to anger. 
 
 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 Jerusalem, 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 out of the land which I have appointed 
 for your fathers ; so that they will take heed to do 
 all that I have commanded them, according to the 
 whole law and the statutes and the ordinances by 
 the hand of Moses. 
 
 9 So Manasseh made Judah and the inhabitants 
 of Jerusalem to err, and to do worse than the 
 heathen, whom the Lord had destroyed before the 
 children of Israel. 
 
 10 And the Lord spake to Manasseh, and to his 
 people : but they would not hearken. 
 
 11 If "Wherefore the Lord brought upon them the 
 captains of the host f of the king of Assyria, which 
 took Manasseh among the thorns, and f bound him 
 with || fetters, and carried him to Babylon. 
 
 12 And when he was in affliction, he besought 
 the Lord his God, and 'humbled himself greatly 
 before the God of his fathers, 
 
 18 And prayed unto him: and he was r entreated 
 of him, and heard his supplication, and brought him 
 again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manas- 
 seh 'knew that the Lord he was God. 
 
 14 Now after this, he built a wall without the

 25 IF But the people of the land slew all them that 
 had conspired against king Amon ; and the people 
 of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead. 
 
 CHAP. XXXIV. 
 
 1 Josiah's good reign. 3 lie datroyeth idolatry. 
 
 JOSIAH "was eight years old when he began to 
 reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem one and 
 thirty years. 
 
 2 And he did that which was right in the sight of 
 the Lord, and walked in the ways of David his father, 
 and declined neither to the right hand, nor to the left. 
 
 3 11 For in the eighth year of his reign, Avhile he 
 was jet young, he began to \seek after the God of 
 David his father: and in the twelfth year he began 
 c to purge Judah and Jerusalem rf from the high places, 
 and the groves, and the carved images, and the 
 molten images. 
 
 4 'And they brake 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 brake in 
 pieces, and made dust of them, y and strewed it upon 
 the f graves of them that had sacrificed unto them. 
 
 5 And he s burnt the bones of the priests upon 
 their altars, and cleansed Judah and Jerusalem. 
 
 6 And so did he in the cities of Manasseh, and 
 Ephraim, and Simeon, even unto Naphtali, with 
 their || mattocks round about. 
 
 7 And when he had broken down the altars and 
 the groves, and had ''beaten the graven images finto 
 powder, and cut down all the idols throughout all 
 the land of Israel, he returned to Jerusalem. 
 
 8 H Now 'in the eighteenth year of his reign, when 
 he had purged the land, and the house, he sent Sha- 
 phan the son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah the governor 
 of the city, and Joah the son of Joahaz the record- 
 er, to repair the house of the Lord 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 gathered of the hand of Manasseh and Ephraim, 
 and of all the remnant of Israel, and of all Judah 
 and Benjamim; and they returned to Jerusalem. 
 
 10 And they put it in the hand of the workmen 
 that had the oversight of the house of the Lord, and 
 they gave it to the workmen that wrought in the 
 house of the Lord, to repair and mend the house : 
 
 11 Even to the artificers and builders gave they 
 it, to buy hewm stone, and timber 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 Merari; and Zechariah and 
 
 Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, to set 
 
 it forward ; and other of the Levites all that could 
 
 skill of instruments of music.

 18 Also the// were over the beavers of burdens, 
 and were overseers of all that wrought the work in 
 any manner of service: 'and of the Levites there 
 were scribes, and officers, and porters. 
 
 14 IT And when they brought out the money that 
 was brought into the house of the Lord, Hilkiah 
 the priest '" found a book of the law of the Lord 
 given by f Moses. 
 
 15 And Hilkiah answered and said to Shaphan 
 the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the 
 house of the Lord. And Hilkiah delivered the 
 book to Shaphan. 
 
 16 And Shaphan carried the book to the king, 
 and brought the king word back again, saying, All 
 that was committed f to thy servants, they do it. 
 
 17 And they have f gathered together the money 
 that was found in the house of the Lord, and have 
 delivered it into the hand of the overseers, and to 
 the hand of the workmen. 
 
 18 Then Shaphan the scribe told the king, say- 
 ing, Hilkiah the priest hath given me a book. And 
 Shaphan read -\\t 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 Ahi- 
 kam 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 the Lord for me, and for them 
 that are left in Israel, and in Judah, concerning the 
 words of the book that is found : for great is the 
 wrath of the Lord that is poured out upon us, because 
 our fathers have not kept the word of the Lord, to 
 do after all that is written in this book. 
 
 22 And Hilkiah, and they that the king had ap- 
 pointed, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of 
 Shallum the son of "Tikvath, the son of ||Hasrah, keep- 
 er of the f wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem 
 II in the college :) and they spake to her to that effect. 
 
 23. IF And she answered them, Thus saith the Lord 
 God of Israel, Tell ye the man that sent you to me, 
 
 24 Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will bring evil 
 upon this place, and upon the inhabitants 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 unto other gods, that they might 
 provoke me to anger with all the works of their 
 hands; theiefore my wrath shall be poured out 
 upon this place, and shall not be quenched. 
 
 26 And as for the king of Judah, who sent you 
 to inquire of the Lord, so shall ye say unto him, 
 Thus saith the Lord God of Israel concerning the 
 words which thou hast heard; 
 
 27 Because thine heart was tender, and thou 
 didst humble thyself before God when thou heardest 
 his words against this place, and against the inha- 
 bitants thereof, and humbledst thyself before me, 
 and didst rend thy clothes, and weep before me; 
 I have even heard thee also, saith the Lord. 
 
 28 Behold, I will gather thee to thy fathers, and 
 thou shalt be gathered to thy grave in peace, neither 
 shall thine eyes see all the evil that I will bring 
 upon this place, and upon the inhabitants of the 
 same. So they brought the king word again.

 and all the people, f great and small: and he read 
 in their ears all the words of the book of the cove- 
 nant that was found in the house of the Lord. 
 
 31 And the king stood in his ''place, and made 
 a covenant before the Lord, to walk after the Lord, 
 and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies, 
 and his statutes, with all his heart, and with all 
 his soul, to perforin the words of the covenant which 
 are written in this book. 
 
 32 And he caused all that were f present in Je- 
 rusalem and Benjamin to stand to it. And the in- 
 habitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant 
 of God, the God of their fathers. 
 
 33 And Josiah took away all the 'abominations 
 out of all the countries that pertained to the children 
 of Israel, and made all that were present in Israel 
 to serve, even to ser.ve the Lokd their God. r And 
 all his days they departed not f from following the 
 Lord, the God of their fathers. 
 
 CHAP. XXXV. 
 
 Josiah keepeth a most solemn passover. 
 
 MOREOVER "Josiah kept a passover unto the 
 Lord in Jerusalem : and they killed the pass- 
 over on the 'fourteenth day of the first month. 
 
 2 And he set the priests in their c charges, and 
 d encouraged them to the service of the house of the 
 Lord, 
 
 3 And said unto the Levites 'that taught all Israel, 
 which were holy unto the Lord, -'Put the holy ark 
 s in the house which Solomon the son of David king 
 of Israel did build: h it shall not be a burden upon 
 your shoulders : serve now the Lord your God, antf 
 his people Israel, 
 
 4 And prepare yourselves hy the houses of your 
 fathers after your courses, according to the * writing 
 of David king of Israel, and according to the 'writ- 
 ing of Solomon his son : 
 
 5 And '"stand in the holy place according to the 
 divisions of fthe families of the fathers of youi 
 brethren f the people, and after the division of the 
 families of the Levites. 
 
 6 So kill the passover, and "sanctify yourselves, 
 and prepare your brethren, that they may do accord- 
 ing to the word of the Lord by the hand of Moses. 
 
 7 And Josiah fgave to the people, of the flock, 
 lambs and kids, all for the passover-offerings, for 
 all that were present, to the number of thirty thou 
 sand, and three thousand bullocks: these were of 
 the king's substance. 
 
 8 And his princes f gave willingly unto the people, 
 to the priests, and to the Levites : Hilkiah and Zech- 
 ariah and Jehiel, rulers of the house of God, gave unto 
 the priests for the passover-offerings two thousand 
 and six hundred small cattle, and three hundred oxen 
 
 9 Cononiah also, and Shemaiah, and Nethaneel, 
 his brethren, and Hashabiah, and Jeiel, and Joza- 
 bad, chief of the Levites, fgave unto the Levites 
 for passover-offerings five thousand small cattle, and 
 five hundred oxen. 
 
 10 So the service was prepared, and the priests 
 p stood in their place, and the Levites in their courses, 
 according to the king's commandment. 
 
 11 And they killed the passover, and the priests 
 q sprinkled the blood from their hands, and the Levites 
 r flayed them. 
 
 12 And they. removed the burnt-nfferinas, th'it 
 
Jos'fih slain at Megiddo 
 
 CHAP. XXX VJ. 
 
 they might give according to tht divisions of the 
 families of the people, to offer unto the Loed, as it 
 is written 'in the book of Moses. And so did they 
 with the oxen. 
 
 13 And they 'roasted the passover with fire, ac- 
 cording to the ordinance: but the other holy offer- 
 ings "sod they in pots, and in caldrons, and in pans, 
 and f divided 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 of 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 or the sons of Asaph were in 
 t\ eir f place, according to the ■'commandment of 
 David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun the 
 king's seer; and the porters " waited at every gate; 
 they l. tight not depart from their service; for their 
 brethiv n the Levites prepared for them. 
 
 16 bo all the service of the Lord was prepared 
 the same day, to keep the passover, and to offer 
 burnt-offerings upon the altar of the Lord, accord- 
 ing to the commandment of king Josiah. 
 
 1 7 And the children of Israel that were f present 
 kept the passover at that time, and the feast of 
 'unleavened bread seven days. 
 
 18 And "there was no passover like to that kept 
 in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet ; 
 neither did all the kings of Israel keep such a pass- 
 over as Josiah kept, and the priests, and the LeAdtes, 
 and all Judah and Israel that were present, and the 
 inhabitants of Jerusalem. 
 
 19 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah 
 was this passover kept. 
 
 20 H 4 After all this, when Josiah had prepared 
 rhef temple, Necho king of Egypt came up to fight 
 against Charchemish by Euphrates: and Josiah 
 went out against him. 
 
 21 But he sent ambassadors to him, saying, What 
 have I to do with thee, thou king of Judah ? I come 
 not against thee this day, but against fthe house 
 wherewith I have war : for God commanded me to 
 make haste : forbear thee from meddling with God, 
 who is with me, that he destroy thee not. 
 
 22 Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face 
 from him, but c disguised himself that he might fight 
 with him, and hearkened not unto 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 
 sore f wounded. 
 
 24 'His servants therefore took him out of that 
 chariot, and put him in the second chariot that he had ; 
 and they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died, and 
 was buried || in one of the sepulchres of his fathers. 
 And J all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah. 
 
 25 IT And Jeremiah * lamented for Josiah: and 
 "all the singing men and the singing women spake 
 of Josiah in their lamentations 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 his 
 t goodness, according to that tvhich was written in 
 ihe law of the Lord, 
 
 27 And his deeds, first and last, behold, they 
 are written in the book of the kings of Israel and

 2 Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old whet) 
 he began to reign, and he reigned three months in 
 Jerusalem. 
 
 3 And the king of Egypt fput him down at Je- 
 rusalem, and f condemned the land in an hundred 
 talents of silver and a talent of gold. 
 
 4 And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his bro- 
 ther king over Judah and Jerusalem, and turned his 
 name to Jehoiakim. And Necho took Jehoahaz his 
 brother, and carried him to Egypt. 
 
 5 IT c Jehoiakim was twenty and five }^ears old 
 when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven 
 years in Jerusalem : and he did thai which was evil 
 in the sight of the Lord his God. 
 
 6 ''Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king 
 of Babylon, and bound him in || fetters, to 'carrj- 
 him to Babylon. 
 
 7 J Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the vessels of 
 the house of the Lord to Bab}don, 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 in him, behold, they are written in the book 
 of the kings of Israel and Judah. And || Jehoia- 
 chin his son reigned in his stead. 
 
 9 IKJehoiachin ivas eight years old when he 
 began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten 
 days in Jerusalem: and lie did that which was evil 
 in the sight of the Lord. 
 
 10 And fwhen the year was expired, ; 'king Nebu- 
 chadnezzar sent, and broughthim to Babylon, 'with the 
 t goodly vessels of the house of the Lord, and made 
 ||*Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem. 
 
 11 TT'Zedekiah ivas one and twenty years old Avhen he 
 began to reign, and reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. 
 
 12 And he did that ivhieh was evil in the sight of the 
 Lord his God, and humbled not himself before Jere- 
 miah the prophet speaking from the mouth of the Lord 
 
 13 And '"he also rebelled against king Nebuchad- 
 nezzar, who had made him sAvear by God: but he 
 "stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart from 
 turning unto the Lord God of Israel. 
 
 14 U Moreover, all the chief of the priests, and 
 the people, transgressed very much after all the 
 abominations of the heathen; and polluted the house 
 of the Lord Avhich he had halloAved in Jerusalem. 
 
 15 "And the Lord God of their fathers sent to 
 them f by his messengers, rising up || betimes and 
 sending; because he had compassion on his people, 
 and on his dwelling-place : 
 
 16 ^But they mocked the messengers of G^d, 
 and 'despised his Avords, and r misused nis prophets, 
 until the s wrath of the Lord arose against his peo- 
 ple, till there was no f remedy. 
 
 17 ' Therefore he brought upon them the king of the 
 Chaldees, avIio "slew their young men with the satoiiI

 sion upon 3'oung man or maiden, old man, or him 
 that stooped for age : he gave them all into his hand.

 NOW in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, 
 that the word 01 the Lord "by the mouth of 
 Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the Lord stirred up 
 the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, Hhat he fmade 
 a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put 
 it also in writing, saying, 
 
 2 Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, the Lord 
 God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of 
 the earth; and he hath c charged me to build him 
 an house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah. 
 
 3 Who is there among you of all his people ? his 
 God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, 
 which is in Judah, and build the house of the Lord 
 God of Israel, ( d he is the God,) which is in Jerusalem. 
 
 4 And whosoever remaineth in any place where 
 he sojourneth, let the men of his place -f lielp him 
 with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with 
 beasts, besides the free-will-offering for the house 
 of God that is in Jerusalem. 
 
 5 IF Then rose up the chief of the fathers of Judah 
 and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, with 
 all them whose spirit e God had raised, to go up to 
 build the house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem. 
 
 6 And all they that were about them || strength- 
 ened their hands with vessels of silver, with gold, 
 with goods, and with beasts, and with precious 
 things, besides all that was willingly offered. 
 
 7 VAlso Cyrus the king brought forth the vessels 
 of the house of the LokU, s which Nebuchadnezzar 
 had brought forth out of Jerusalem, and had put 
 them in the house of his gods ; 
 
 8 Even those did Cyrus king of Persia bring forth 
 by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and num- 
 bered them unto * Sheshbazzar, the prince of Judah. 
 
 9 And this is the number of them : thirty chargers 
 of gold, a thousand chargers of silver, nine and 
 twenty knives, 
 
 10 Thirty basons of gold, silver basons of a 
 second sort four hundred and ten, and other vessels 
 a thousand.

 number, according to the custom, fas the duty of 
 every day required ; 
 
 5 And afterward offered the h continual burnt- 
 offering, both of the new-moons, and of all the set 
 feasts of the Lord that were consecrated, and of 
 every one that willingly offered a free-will-offering 
 unto the Lord. 
 
 6 From the first day of the seventh month began 
 they to offer burnt-offerings unto the Lord. But t the 
 foundation of the temple of the Lokd was not yet laid. 
 
 7 They gave money also unto the masons, and to 
 the || carpenters ; and ' meat, and drink, and oil, unto 
 them of Zidon, and to them of Tyre, to bring cedar- 
 trees from Lebanon to the sea of * Joppa, 'according 
 to the grant that they had of Cyrus king of Persia.

'Hie foundation of the temple laid. 
 
 8 IF Now in the second year of their coming unto the 
 nouse of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, be- 
 gan Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the 
 son of Jozadak, and the remnant of their brethren 
 the priests and the Levites, and all they that were 
 come out of the captivity unto Jerusalem; "'and ap- 
 pointed the Levites, from twenty years old and up- 
 ward, to set forward the work of the house of the Lord. 
 
 9 Then stood "Jeshua with his sons and his 
 brethren, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of || Judah, 
 f together, to set forward 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 foundation 
 of the temple of the Lord, "they set the priests in 
 their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites the 
 sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the Lord, 
 after the p ordinance of David king of Israel. 
 
 11 9 And they sang together by course in praising 
 and giving thanks unto the Lord; 'because he is 
 good, J for his mercy endureth for ever toward Israel. 
 And all the people shouted with a great shout, when 
 they pi'aised the Lord, because the foundation of 
 the house of the Lord was laid. 
 
 12 'But many of the priests and Levites and 
 chief of the fathers, who were ancient men, that had 
 seen the first house, when the foundation of this 
 house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud 
 voice ; and many shouted aloud for joy : 
 
 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 people shouted with 
 a loud shout, and the noise was heard afar off.

 17 The decree of Artuxerxes. 23 The building is hindered. 
 
 NOW when "the adversaries of Judah and Ben- 
 jamin heard that f the children of the captivity 
 build ed the temple unto the Lord God of Israel ; 
 
 2 Then they came to Zerubbabel, and to the chief 
 of the fathers, and said unto them, Let us build 
 with you : for we seek your God, as ye do; and we 
 do sacrifice unto him 'since the days of Esarhaddon 
 king of Assur, which brought us up hither. 
 
 3 But Zerubbabel, and Jeshua, and the rest of 
 the chief of the fathers of Israel, said unto them, 
 'Ye have nothing to do with us to build an house 
 nuto our God; but we ourselves together will build 
 unto the Lord God of Israel, as ''king Cyrus the 
 king of Persia hath commanded us. 
 
 4 Then e the people of the land weakened the 
 nands of the people of Judah, and troubled them in 
 building, 
 
 5 And hired counsellors against them, to frustrate 
 their purpose, all the da} r s of Cyrus king of Persia, 
 even until the reign of Darius king of Persia. 
 
 6 And in the reign of f Ahasuerus, in the begin- 
 ning of his reign, wrote they unto him an accusation 
 against the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem. 
 
 7 II And in the days of Artaxerxes wrote || Bish- 
 lam, Mithredath, Tabeel, and the rest of their

 the writing of the letter was written in the Syrian 
 tongue, and interpreted in the Syrian tongue.

 and noble Asnapper brought over, and set in the 
 cities of Samaria, and the rest that are on this sid* 
 the river, ''and fat such a time. 
 
 11 II This is the copy of the letter that they sent 
 unto him, even unto Artaxerxes the king; Thy ser- 
 vants the men on this side the river, and at such a time. 
 
 12 Be it known unto the king, that the Jews which 
 came up from thee to us, are come unto Jerusalem, 
 building the rebellious and the bad chy, and have 
 II set up the walls thereof, and f joined the foundations. 
 
 13 Be it known now unto the king, that if this city 
 be builded, and the walls set up again, then will 
 they not f pay 'toll, tribute, and custom, and so thou 
 shalt endamage the || revenue of the kings. 
 
 14 Now because fwe have maintenance from the 
 king's palace, and it was not meet for us to see the 
 king's dishonour, therefore have we sent and cer- 
 tified the king; 
 
 15 That search may be made in the book of the 
 records of thy fathers : so shalt thou find in the 
 book of the records, and know that this city is a rebel- 
 lious city, and hurtful unto kings and provinces, and 
 that they have f moved sedition t within the same 
 of old time : for which cause was this city destroyed. 
 
 16 We certify the king that, if this city be builded 
 again, and the walls thereof set up, by this means 
 thou shalt have no portion on this side the river. 
 
 17 IT Then sent the king an answer unto Rehum 
 the chancellor, and to Shimshai the scribe, and to 
 the rest of their f companions that dwell in Sama- 
 ria, and unto the rest beyond the river, Peace, and 
 at such a time. 
 
 18 The letter which ye sent unto us hath been 
 plainly read before me. 
 
 19 And fl commanded, and search hath been 
 made, and it is found that this city of old time hath 
 fmade insurrection against kings, and that rebel- 
 lion and sedition have been made therein. 
 
 20 There have been mighty kings also over Jerusa- 
 lem, which have * ruled over all countries 'beyond the 
 river : and toll, tribute, and custom,was paid unto them. 
 
 21 f Give ye now commandment to cause these 
 men to cease, and that this city be not builded, 
 until another commandment shall be 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 Artaxerxes' 
 letter was read before Rehum, and Shimshai the 
 scribe, and their companions, they went up in haste 
 to Jerusalem unto the Jews, and made them to 
 cease fby force and power. 
 
 24 Then ceased the work of the house of God 
 which is at Jerusalem. So it ceased unto the 
 second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia. 
 
 CHAP. V. 
 
 Zerubbabel and Jeshua set forward the building of the temple. 
 
 THEN the prophets, 'Haggai the prophet, and 
 f Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophesied unto 
 the Jews that were in Judah and Jerusalem in the 
 name of the God of Israel, even unto them. 
 
 2 Then rose up ''Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, 
 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. 
 
The building again set forward. 
 
 3 TI At the same time came to them 'Tatnai, 
 governor on this side the river, and Shethar-boznai, 
 and their companions, and said thus unto them, 
 /Who hath commanded you to build this house, 
 and to make up this wall: 
 
 4 *Then said we unto them after this manner, 
 What are the names of the men t that make this 
 building? 
 
 5 But ''the eye of their God was upon the elders 
 of the Jews, that they could not cause them to 
 cease, till the matter came to Darius: and then they 
 returned 'answer by letter concerning this matter. 
 
 6 II The copy of the letter that Tatnai, governor 
 on this side the river, and Shethar-boznai, *and his 
 companions the Apharsachites, which were on this 
 side the river, sent unto Darius the king : 
 
 7 They sent a letter unto him, f wherein was 
 written thus; Unto Darius the king, all peace. 
 
 8 Be it known unto the king, that we went into 
 the province of Judea, to the house of the great 
 God, which is builded with f great stones, and 
 timber is laid in the walls, and this work goeth fast 
 on, and prospereth in their hands. 
 
 9 Then asked Ave those elders, and said unto 
 them thus, 'Who commanded you to build this 
 house, and to make up these walls? 
 
 10 We asked their names also, to certify thee, 
 that we might write the names of the men that 
 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 build the house that was builded these 
 many years ago, which a great king of Israel builded 
 ""and set up. 
 
 12 But "after that our fathers had provoked the 
 God of heaven unto wrath, he gave them into the 
 hand of "Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, the 
 Chaldean, who destined this house, and carried 
 the people away into Babylon. 
 
 1 3 But in the first year of '' Cyrus the king of 
 Babylon, the same king Cyrus made a decree to 
 build this house of God. 
 
 14 And ? the vessels also of gold and silver of 
 the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took out 
 of the temple that was in Jerusalem, and brought 
 them into the temple of Babylon, those did Cyrus 
 the king take out of the temple of Babylon, and 
 they were delivered unto one, 'whose name was 
 Sheshbazzar, whom he had made || governor ; 
 
 15 And said unto him, Take these vessels, go, 
 carry them into the temple that is in Jerusalem, 
 and let the house of God be builded in his place. 
 
 16 Then came the same Sheshbazzar, and J laid 
 the foundation of the house of God which is in Jeru- 
 salem : and since that time even until now hath it 
 been in. building, and 'yet it is not finished. 
 
 17 Now therefore, if it seem good to the king, 
 'let there be search made in the king's treasure- 
 
 . house, which is there at Babylon, whether it be so, 
 that a decree was made of Cyrus the king to build 
 this house of God at Jerusalem, and let the king 
 send his pleasure to us concerning this matter.

 palace that is in the province of the Medes, a roll 
 and therein ivas a record thus written: 
 
 3 In the first year of Cyrus the king, the savtt 
 Cyrus the king made a decree concerning the house 
 of God at Jerusalem, Let the house be builded, tin) 
 place where they offered sacrifices, and let the founda 
 tions thereof be strongly laid; the height thereof three- 
 score cubits, and the breadth thereof threescore cubits; 
 
 4 b With three rows of great stones, and a row 
 of new timber : and let the expenses be given out 
 of the king's house : 
 
 5 And also let r the golden and silver-vessels of 
 the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took forth 
 out of the temple which is at Jerusalem, and brought 
 unto Babylon, be restored, and f brought again unto 
 the temple which is at Jerusalem, every one to his 
 place, and place them in the house of God. 
 
 6 ''Now therefore, Tatnai, governor beyond the 
 river, Shethar-boznai, and fy° ur companions the 
 Apharsachites, which are beyond the river, be ye 
 far from thence : 
 
 7 Let the work of this house of God alone; lei 
 the governor of the Jews, and the elders of the Jews, 
 build this house of God in his place. 
 
 8 Moreover, f I. make a decree what ye shall do 
 to the elders of these Jews for the building of this 
 house of God : that of the king's goods, even of the 
 tribute beyond the river, forthwith expenses be 
 given unto these men, that they be not f hindered. 
 
 9 And that which they have need of, both young 
 bullocks, and rams, and lambs, for the burnt-offer- 
 ings of the God of heaven, wheat, salt, wine, and 
 oil, according to the appointment of the priests 
 which are at Jerusalem, let it be given them day 
 by day without fail : 
 
 10 e That they may offer sacrifices f 01 * sweet 
 savours unto the God of heaven, and ■'pray for the 
 life of the king, and of his sons. 
 
 11 Also I have made a decree, that whosoever 
 shall alter this word, let timber be pulled down 
 from his house, and being set up, \\et him be 
 hanged thereon; *and let his house be made a 
 dunghill for this. 
 
 12 And the God that hath caused his A 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 decree; let it be done with speed. 
 
 13 HThen Tatnai, governor on 'chia side the 
 river, Shethar-boznai, and their companions, accord- 
 ing to that which Darius the king had sent, so they 
 did speedily. 
 
 14 'And the elders of the Jews builded, and they 
 prospered through the prophesying of Haggai the 
 prophet and Zechariah the son of lddo. And they 
 builded, and finished it, according to the command- 
 ment of the God of Israel, and according to the 
 f commandment 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 11 And the children of Israel, the priests, and 
 the Levites,and the rest of fthe children of the captiv- 
 ity, kept "the dedication of this house of God with joy, 
 
 17 And "offered at the dedication of this house 
 of God an hundred bullocks, two hundred rams,

Ezra gocth up to Jerusalem :

 18 And they set the priests in their /'divisions, 
 and the Levites in their 'courses, for the service of 
 God, which is at Jerusalem; fas it is written in 
 the book of Moses. 
 
 19 And the children of the captivity kept the 
 passover 'upon the fourteenth day of the first month 
 
 20 For the priests and the Levites were 'purified 
 together, all of them viere pure, and "killed the pass 
 over for all the children of the captivity, and for 
 their brethren the priests, and for themselves. 
 
 21 And the children of Israel, which were come 
 again out of captivity, and all such as had separated 
 themselves unto them from the ""filthiness of the 
 heathen of the land, to seek the Lord God of 
 Israel, did eat, 
 
 22 And kept the y feast of unleavened bread 
 seven days with joy : for the Lord had made them 
 joyful, and x turned the heart "of the king of Assyria 
 unto them, to strengthen their hands in the work of 
 the house of God, the God of Israel. 
 
 CHAP. VII. 
 
 Tlie gracious commission of Artaxerxes to Ezra. 
 
 NOW after these things, in the reign of * Arta- 
 xerxes 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 Phinehas, the 
 son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the chief priest : 
 
 6 This Ezra went up from Babylon; and he was 
 'a ready scribe in the law of Moses, which the 
 Lord God of Israel had given : and the king granted 
 him all his request, e according to the hand of the 
 Lord his God upon him. 
 
 7 -^And there went up some of the children of 
 Israel, and of the priests, and ^'the Levites, and the 
 6ingers, and the porters, and ''the Nethinims, unto Je- 
 rusalem, 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 upon the first day of the first month \ be- 
 gan he to go up from Babylon, and on the first day 
 of the fifth month came he to Jerusalem, 'accord- 
 ing to the good hand of his God upon him. 
 
 10 For Ezra had prepared his heart to *seek the 
 law of the Lord, and to do it, and to 'teach in 
 Israel statutes and judgments. 
 
 11 IF Now this is the copy of the letter that the 
 king Artaxerxes gave unto Ezra the priest, the 
 scribe, even a scribe of the words of the command- 
 ments of the Lord, and of his statutes to Israel. 
 
 12 Artaxerxes, m king of kings, || Unto Ezra the 
 priest, a scribe of the law of the God of heaven, 
 perfect peace, "and at such a time. 
 
 13 1 make a decree, that all they of the people 
 of Israel, and of his priests and Levites, in my 
 realm, which are minded of their own free will to go 
 up to Jerusalem, go with thee. 
 
 14 Forasmuch as thou art sent t of the king, and 
 of his "seven counsellors, to inquire concerning Judah 
 and Jerusalem, according to the law of thy God 
 which is in thine hand;

 Artaxerxes s commission to tS*h 
 
 15 And to carry the silver and gold, which the 
 king and his counsellors have freely offered unto the 
 God of Israel, ''whose habitation is in Jerusalem; 
 
 16 'And all the silver and gold that thou canst find 
 in all the province of Babylon, with the free-will- 
 offering of trie people, and of the priests, r offering will- 
 ingly for the house of their God wnich is in Jerusalem : 
 
 1 7 That thou mayest buy speedily with this money 
 bullocks, rams, lambs, with their 'meat-offerings and 
 their drink-offerings, and 'offer them upon the altar 
 of the house of your God which is in Jerusalem. 
 
 18 And whatsoever shall seem good to thee, and 
 to thy brethren, to do with the rest of the silver 
 and the gold, that do after the will of your God. 
 
 19 The vessels also that are given thee for the 
 service of the house of thy God, those deliver thou 
 before the God of Jerusalem. 
 
 20 And whatsoever more shall be needful 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, even I Artaxerxes the king, do make 
 a decree to all the treasurers which are beyond the 
 river, that whatsoever Ezra the priest, the scribe of 
 the law of the God of heaven, shall require of you, 
 it be done speedily, 
 
 22 Unto an hundred talents of silver, and to an 
 hundred f measures of wheat, and to an hundred 
 baths of wine, and to an hundred baths of oil, and 
 salt without prescribing how much. 
 
 23 f Whatsoever is commanded by the God ot 
 heaven, let it be diligently 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 Ave certify you, that touching any of the 
 priests and Levites, singers, porters, Nethinims, or 
 ministers of this house of God, it shall not be law- 
 ful to impose toll, tribute, or custom, upon them. 
 
 25 And thou, Ezra, after the wisdom of thy God, 
 that is in thine hand, "set magistrates and judges, 
 which may judge all the people that are beyond the 
 river, all such as know the laws of thy God; and 
 * teach ye them that know them not. 
 
 26 And whosoever will not do the law of thy 
 God, and the law of the king, let judgment be exe- 
 cuted speedily upon him, whether it be unto death, 
 or f to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to 
 imprisonment. 
 
 27 TF^Blessed he the Lord God of our fathers, z which 
 hath put such a thing as this in the king's heart, to 
 beautify the house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem : 
 
 28 And °hath extended mercy unto me before the 
 king, and his counsellors, and before all the king's 
 
 ghty princes. And I was strengthened as A the 
 hand of the Lord my God was upon me, and I gath- 
 ered together out of Israel chief men to go up with me. 
 CHAP. VIII. 
 
 The companions of Ezra, who returned from Babylon. 
 
 THESE are now the chief of their fathers, and 
 this is the genealogy of them that went up with 
 me from Babylon, in the reign of Artaxerxes the 
 king. 
 
 2 Of the sons of Phinehas ; Gershom : of the sons 
 of Ithamar; Daniel: of the sons of David; llattush. 
 
 3 Of the sons of Shechaniah, of the sons of f Pha- 
 rosh; Zechariah: and with him were reckoned by 
 genealogy of the males an hundred and fifty. 
 
 4 Of the sons of Pahath-moab; Llihoenai the 
 son of Zerahiah, aDd with him two hundred males. 
 
Those who returned with Ezra. 
 
 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 Elain; Jeshaiah the son 
 of Athaliah, and with him seventy males. 
 
 8 And of the sons of Shephatiah ; Zebad'iah the 
 Bon of Michael, and with him fourscore males. 
 
 9 Of the sons of Joab; Obadiah the son of Je- 
 hiel, and with him two hundred and eighteen males. 
 
 10 And of the sons of Shelomith; the son of 
 Josiphiah, and with him an 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 Makkatan, and with him an hundred 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 || Zab- 
 bud, and with them seventy males. 
 
 15 If And I gathered them together to the river 
 that runneth to Ahava; and there || abode we in 
 tents three days : and I viewed the people, and the 
 priests, and found there none of the ''sons of Levi. 
 
 16 Then sent I for Eliezer, for Ariel, for Shemaiah, 
 and for Elnathan, and for Jarib, and for Elnathan, 
 and for Nathan, and for Zechariah, and for Meshul- 
 lam, chief men; also for Joiarib, and for Elnathan, 
 men of understanding. 
 
 17 And I sent them with commandment unto Iddo 
 the chief at the place Casiphia, and fl told them 
 what they should say unto Iddo, and to his brethren 
 the Nethinims,at the place Casiphia, that they should 
 bring unto us ministers for the house of our God. 
 
 18 And by the good hand of our God upon us 
 :hey "brought us a man of understanding, 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 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 service of the Levites, 
 two hundred and twenty Nethinims : all of them 
 were expressed by name. 
 
 21 HThen I ^proclaimed a fast there, at the river 
 of Ahava, that we might ''afflict ourselves before 
 our God, to seek of him a 'right way for us, 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: because we had spoken unto the 
 king, saying, 'The hand of our God is upon all them 
 for m good that seek him; but his power and his 
 wrath is "against all them that "forsake him. 
 
 23 So we fasted and besought our God for this: 
 and he was ''entreated of us. 
 
 24 H Then I separated twelve of the chief of the 
 priests, Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their 
 brethren with them, 
 
 25 And weighed unto 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 unto their hand six hundred 
 and fifty talents of silver, and silver vessels an 
 hundred talents, and of gold an hundred talents-

 27 Also twenty basons of gold, of a thousand drams ; 
 and two vessels of f fine copper, f precious as gold. 
 
 28 And I said unto them, Ye are r holy unto the 
 Loud; the vessels are 'holy also; and the silver 
 and the gold are a free-will-offering unto the Loia 
 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 the Lord. 
 
 30 So took the priests and the Levites the weigh! 
 of the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, to brinf 
 them to Jerusalem unto the house of our God. 
 
 31 IT Then we departed from the river of Ahava 
 on the twelfth day of the first month, to go unto 
 Jerusalem: and 'the hand of our God was upon 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 UNow on the fourth day was the silver and 
 the gold and the vessels * weighed in the house of 
 our God by the hand of Meremoth the son of Uriah 
 the priest; and with him was Eleazer 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 of every one: 
 and all the weight was written at that time. 
 
 35 Also the children of those that had been carried 
 away, which were come out of the captivity, ^offered 
 burnt-offerings unto the God of Israel, twelve bul- 
 locks for all Israel, ninety and six rams, seventy 
 and seven lambs, twelve he-goats for a sin-offering : 
 all this was a burnt-offering unto the Lord. 
 
 36 TAnd they delivered the king's * commissions 
 unto the king's lieutenants, and to the governors on 
 this side the river: and they furthered the people, 
 and the house of God. 
 
 CHAP. IX. 
 
 Ezra prai/elh unto God with confession of sins. 
 
 NOW when these things were done, the princes 
 came to me, saying, The people of Israel, and the 
 priests, and the Levites, have not * separated them- 
 selves from the people of the lands, 'doing accord- 
 ing to their abominations, even of the Canaanites, the 
 Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebuzites, the Amnion 
 ites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites. 
 
 2 For they have ''taken of their daughters for 
 themselves, and for their sons : so that the r holy seed 
 have •'mingled themselves with the people of those 
 lands : yea, the hand of the princes and rulers hath 
 been cliief in this trespass 
 
 3 And when I heard this thing, e I rent my gar- 
 ment and my mantle, and plucked off the hair of my 
 head and of my beard, and sat down A astonied. 
 
 4 Then were assembled unto me every one that 
 'trembled at the words of the God of Israel, because 
 of the transgression of those that had been carried 
 away; and I sat astonied until the * evening sacrifice. 
 
 5 IF And at the evening sacrifice I arose up from 
 my || heaviness; and having rent my garment and 
 my mantle, I fell upon my knees, and 'spread out my 
 hands unto the Lord my God, 
 
 6 And said, O my God, I am "ashamed and blush 
 to lift up my face to thee, my God: for "ouv iniqui- 
 ties are increased over our head, and our || trespass 
 is "grown up unto the heavens. 
 
 7 Since the days of our fathers have p we bem in * 
 
Ezra pruyelh io GoJ 
 
 great trespass unto this day; anu for our iniquities 
 'have we, our kings, and 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 "f little space grace hath been 
 shewed from the Lord our God, to leave us a rem- 
 nant to escape, and to give us || a nail in his holy 
 place, that our God may 'lighten 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 ^hath extended 
 mercy unto us in the sight of the kings of Persia, 
 to give us a reviving, to set up the house of our 
 God, and fto repair the desolations thereof, and to 
 give us y a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem. 
 
 10 And now, our God, what shall we say after 
 this? for we have forsaken thy commandments, 
 
 1 1 Which thou hast commanded f by thy servants 
 the prophets, saying, The land unto which ye go to 
 possess it, is an unclean land with the s filthmess 
 of the people of the lands, with their abominations, 
 which have filled it f from one end to another with 
 their uncleanness. 
 
 12 Now therefore "give not your daughters unto 
 their sons, neither take their daughters unto your 
 sons, *nor seek their peace or their wealth for ever: that 
 ye may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and 
 r leave it for an inheritance to your children for ever. 
 
 13 And after all that is come upon us for our evil 
 deeds, and for our great trespass, seeing that thou 
 our God rf fhast punished us less than our iniquities 
 deserve, and hast given us such deliverance as this; 
 
 14 Should we e again break thy commandments, 
 and -/join in affinity with the people of these abomina- 
 tions': wouldest not thou be ^ang^y with us till thou 
 hadst consumed us, so that there should be no rem- 
 nant nor escaping? 
 
 15 Lord God of Israel, h thou art righteous : 
 for we remain yet escaped, as it is this day : behold, 
 we are 'before thee *ia our trespasses; for we can- 
 not 'stand before thee because of this. 
 
 CHAP. X. 
 
 Ezra mourning, assembleth the people. 
 
 NOW "when Ezra had prayed, and when he had 
 confessed, weeping and casting himself down 
 * before the house of God, there assembled unto him 
 out of Israel a very great congregation of men and 
 women and children : for the people t wept very sore. 
 
 2 And Shechaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the 
 sons of Elam, answered and said unto Ezra, We 
 have c trespassed against our God, and have taken 
 strange wives of the people of the land : yet now 
 there is hope in Israel concerning this thing. 
 
 3 Now therefore let us make a d covenant with our 
 God f to put away all the wives, and such as are born 
 of them, according to the counsel of my lord, and 
 of those that 'tremble at Ahe commandment of our 
 God ; and let it be done according to the law. 
 
 4 Arise ; for this matter belongeth unto thee : 
 we also will be with thee: ^be of good courage, and 
 Jo it. 
 
 5 Then arose Ezra, and made the chief priests, 
 the Levites, and all Israel, A to swear that they should 
 do according to this word. And they sware. 
 
 •t II Then Ezra rose up from before the house of 
 
 God, and went into the chamber of Johanan the son of 
 
 EUashib- and ivhen he came thither, he ''did eat no

 Those who married strange wives 
 
 bread, nor drink water: for he mourned because ol 
 the transgression of them that had been carried away. 
 
 7 And they made proclamation throughout Judah 
 and Jerusalem unto all the children of the captivity, 
 that they should gather themselves together unto 
 Jerusalem ; 
 
 8 And that whosoever would not come within 
 three days,' according to the counsel of the princes 
 and the elders, all his substance should be f forfeited, 
 and himself separated from the congregation of 
 those that had been carried away. 
 
 9 II Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin 
 gathered themselves together unto Jerusalem within 
 three days. It was the ninth month, on the twen- 
 tieth day of the month; and 'all the people sat in 
 the street of the house of God, trembling because 
 of this matter, and for f the great rain. 
 
 10 And Ezra the priest stood up, and said unto 
 them, Ye have transgressed, and t have taken strange 
 wives to increase the trespass of Israel. 
 
 11 Now therefore m make confession unto the 
 Lord God of your fathers, and do his pleasure : and 
 "separate yourselves from the people of the land, 
 and from the strange wives. 
 
 12 Then all the congregation answered and said 
 with a loud voice, As thou liast said, so must we do. 
 
 13 But the people are many, and it is a time of 
 much rain, and we are not able to stand without, 
 neither is this a work of one day or two : for || we are 
 many that have transgressed in this thing 
 
 14 Let now our rulers of all the 
 stand, and let all them which have taken strangu 
 wives in our cities come at appointed times, and 
 with them the elders of every city, and the judges 
 thereof, until "the fierce wrath of our God || for this 
 matter be turned from us. 
 
 15 If Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jaha- 
 ziah the son of Tikvah f were employed 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 chief of the fathers, 
 after 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 examine the matter. 
 
 17 And they made an end with all the men that had 
 taken strange wives by the first day of the first month. 
 
 18 II And among the sons of the priests there were 
 found that had taken strange wives-: namely, of the 
 sons of Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren ; 
 Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah. 
 
 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. 
 
 20 And of the sons of Immer; Hanani, and

 Nehemiah mourneth, fasteth, and prnyctli. 
 
 THE words of "Nehemiah the son of Hachaliah 
 And it came to pass in the month Chisleu, in 
 the twentieth year, as I was in Shushan the palace, 
 
 2 That Hanani, one of my brethren, came, he 
 and certain men of Judah ; and I asked them con- 
 cerning the Jews that had escaped, which were left 
 of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem. 
 
 3 And they said unto me, The remnant that are 
 left of the captivity there in the province are in 
 ^rreat affliction and reproach : * the wall of Jerusa- 
 lem also c is broken down, and the gates thereof are 
 burned with fire. 
 
 4 IT And it came to pass, when I heard these words, 
 that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days, 
 and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven, 
 
 5 And said. I beseech thee, ''O Lord God of 
 heaven, the great and terrible God, .' that keepeth 
 covenant and mercy for them that love him and ob- 
 serve his commandments : 
 
 6 Let thine ear now be attentive, and Ahine eyes 
 open, that thou mayest hear the prayer of thy ser- 
 vant, which 1 pray before thee now, day and night, 
 for the children of Israel thy servants, and g confess 
 the sins of the children of Israel, which we have 
 sinned against thee : both I and my father's house 
 have sinned. 
 
 7 ''We have dealt very corruptly against thee, and 
 have 'not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, 
 nor the judgments, which thou commandcdst thy ser- 
 vant Moses. 
 
 8 Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou 
 oominandedst thy servant Moses, saying, k Ifye trans- 
 gress, I will scatter you abroad among the nations : 
 
 9 ' But if ye turn unto me, and keep my command- 
 ments, and do them; '"though there were of you cast 
 out unto the uttermost part of the heaven,,^ will I 
 gather them from thence, and will bring them unto 
 the place that I have chosen to set m}' name there. 
 
 10 "Now these are thy servants and thy people, 
 whom thou hast redeemed by thy great power, and 
 by thy strong hand. 
 
 110 Lord, I beseech thee, "let now thine ear be 
 attentive to the prayer of thy servant, and to the 
 prayer of thy servants, who ''desire to fear thy 
 name: and prosper, I pray thee, thy servant this 
 day, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man. 
 For I was the king's » cup-bearer.

 Artnxerzes nendelh Nehemiah to Jerusalem 
 
 AND it came to pass in the month Nisan, in th6 
 twentieth year of "Artaxerxes the king, that 
 wine was before him: and 4 I took up the wine, and 
 gave it unto the king. Now I had not been before- 
 time sad in his presence. 
 
 2 Wherefore the king said unto me, Why is thy 
 countenance sad, seeing thou art not sick? this h 
 nothing else but c sorrow of heart. Then I was" 
 very sore afraid, 
 
 j And said unto the king, rf Let the king live for 
 ever: why should not my countenance be sad, 
 when e the city, the pkce of my fathers' sepulchres, 
 lieth waste, and the gates thereof are consumed with 
 fire? 
 
 4 Then the king said unto me, For what dost thou 
 make request? So I prayed to the God of heaven. 
 
 5 And I said unto the king, If it please the king, 
 and if thy servant have found favour in thy sight, 
 that thou wouldest send me unto Judah, unto the 
 city of my fathers' sepulchres, that I may build it. 
 
 6 And the kingsaid unto me, (the f queen also 
 sitting by him,) For how long shall thy journey 
 be? and when wilt thou return? So it pleased 
 the king to send me; and I set him^a time. 
 
 7 Moreover, I said unto the king, If it please the 
 king, let letters be given me to the governors beyond 
 the river, that they may convey me over till I come 
 into Judah ; 
 
 8 And a letter unto Asaph the keeper of the king's 
 forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for 
 the gates of the palace which appertained *to the 
 house, and for the wall of the city, and for the house 
 that I shall enter into. And the king granted me, 
 A according to the good hand of my God upon me. 
 
 9 II 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 was come a man to seek the 
 welfare of the children of Israel. 
 
 11 So I 'came to Jerusalem, and was there three 
 days. 
 
 12 H And 1 arose in the night, 1 and some few men 
 with me; neither told I any man what my God had 
 put in my heart to do at Jerusalem : neither was there 
 any beast with me, save the beast that I rode upou.

 13 And I went out by night *by the gate of the 
 valley, even before the dragon-well, and to the 
 dung-port, and viewed the walls of Jerusalem, 
 which were 'broken down, and the gates thereof 
 were consumed with fire. 
 
 14 Then I went on to the m gate of the fountain, 
 and to the king's pool: but there was no place for 
 the beast that was under me to pass. 
 
 15 Then went 1 up in the night by the "brook, 
 and viewed the Avail, and turned back, and entered 
 by the gate of the valley, 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 that did the work. 
 
 17 If Then said I unto them, Ye see the distress 
 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 ; 'the hand of my God 
 which was good upon me; as also ths king's words 
 that he had spoken unto me. And they said, Let 
 as rise up 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 Ara- 
 bian, heard it, they ""laughed us to scorn, and despised 
 us, and said, What is this thing that ye do? 'will 
 ye rebel against the king? 
 
 20 Then answered I them, and said unto them, 
 The God of heaven, he will prosper us ; therefore 
 we his servants will arise and build : ' but ye have 
 no portion, nor right, nor memorial, in Jerusalem. 
 
 CHAP. III. 
 
 The names and order of them that builded the wall. 
 
 r T^HEN ° Eliashib the high priest rose up with his

 CHAP. IV. 
 
 While the enemies scoff, Nehemiah prayeth. 
 
 BUT it came to pass "that when Sanballat heard 
 that we builded the wall, he was wroth, and 
 took great indignation, and mocked the Jews. 
 
 2 And he spake before his brethren, and the army 
 of Samaria, and said, What do these feeble Jews ? 
 will they ffortify themselves ? will they sacrifice ? will 
 they make an end in a day ? will they revive the stones 
 out of the heaps of the rubbish which are burned? 
 
 3 Now 'Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and 
 he said, Even that which they build, if a fox go up, 
 he shall even break down their stone wall. 
 
 4 'Hear, our God; for we are f despised: and 
 ''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 to anger before the builders. 
 
 6 So built we the wall; and all the wall was 
 joined together unto the half thereof: for the peo- 
 ple had a mind to work. 
 
 7 IF Bat it came to pass, that Avhen Sanballat, and 
 Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and 
 the Ashdodites, heard that the walls of Jerusalem 
 fwere made up, and that the breaches began to be 
 stopped, then they were very wroth, 
 
 8 And ^conspired all of them together to come 
 and to fight against Jerusalem, and f to hinder it. 
 
 9 Nevertheless A we made our prayer unto our 
 God, and set a watch against them day and night, 
 because of them. 
 
 10 And Judah said, The strength of the bearers 
 of burdens is decayed, and there is much rubbish; 
 go that we are not able to build the wall. 
 
 11 And our adversaries said, They shall 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 which 
 J welt by them came, they said unto us ten times, 
 II From all places whence ye shall return unto us 
 I key ivill be upon *you. 
 
 13 \ Therefore set I fin the lower places behind 
 (he wall, and on the higher places, I even set the 
 people after their families with their swords, their 
 spears, and their bows. 
 
 14 And I looked, and rose up, and said unto the

 ♦he half of my servants wrought in the work, and 
 the other half of them held both the spears, the 
 shields, and the bows, and the habergeons; and the 
 rulers were behind all the house of Judah. 
 
 17 They which builded on the wall, and they thai 
 bare burdens, with those that laded, every one with 
 one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the 
 other hand held a weapon. 
 
 18 For the builders, every one had his sword 
 girded f by his side, and so builded. And he that 
 sounded the trumpet was by me. 
 
 19 H And I said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, 
 and to the rest of the people, The work is great and 
 large, and we are separated upon the wall, one far 
 from another. 
 
 20 In what place therefore ye hear the sound of 
 the trumpet, resort ye thither unto us: "our God 
 shall fight for us. 
 
 21 So Ave laboured in the work: and half of them 
 held the spears from the rising of the morning till 
 the stars appeared. 
 
 22 Likewise at the same time said I unto the peo- 
 
 Sle, Let every one with his servant lodge within 
 erusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to 
 us, and labour on the day. 
 
 23 So neither I, nor my brethren, nor my ser- 
 vants, nor the men of the guard which followed me, 
 none of us put off our clothes, || saving that every 
 one put them off for washing. 
 
 CHART. 
 
 The Jews complain of their debt and bondage. 
 
 AND there was a great " cry of the people and ot 
 their wives against their 'brethren the Jews. 
 
 2 For there were that said, We, our sons, and our 
 daughters, are many : therefore we take up corn for 
 them, that we may eat, and live. 
 
 3 Some also there were that said, We have mort- 
 gaged our lands, vineyards, and houses, that we 
 might buy corn, because of the dearth. 
 
 4 There were also that said, We have borrowed 
 money for the king's tribute, and that upon our 
 lands and vineyards. 
 
 5 Yet now c our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, 
 our children as their children : and lo, we ''bring 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 II And I was very angry when I heard their 
 cry and these words. 
 
 7 Then f I consulted with myself, and I rebuked 
 the nobles, and the rulers, and said unto them, c "Ye 
 exact usury, every one of his brother. And I set 
 a great assembly against them. 
 
 8 And I said unto them, We, after our ability, 
 have ^redeemed our brethren the Jews, which were 
 sold unto the heathen; and will ye even sell your 
 brethren ? or shall they be sold unto us ? Then held 
 they their peace, and found nothing to answer. 
 
 9 Also 1 said, It is not good that ye do : ought 
 ye not to walk *in the fear of our God A because of 
 the reproach of the heathen our enemies? 
 
 10 I likewise, and my brethren, and my servants, 
 might exact of them money and corn : I pray you, 
 let us leave off this usury. 
 
 11 Restore, I pray you, to them, even this day, 
 their lands, their vineyards, their olive-yards, and 
 their houses, also the hundredth part nf tlie money, 
 
 8546 
 
Nehemiah 's hospitality. 
 
 and of the corn, the wine, and the oil, that ye exact 
 of them. 
 
 12 Then -said they, We will restore them, and will 
 require nothing of them; so will we do as thou say- 
 est. Then I called the priests, 'and took an oath of 
 them, that they should do according to this promise. 
 
 13 Also *I shook my lap, and said, So God shake 
 out every man from his house, and from his labour, 
 that performeth not this promise, even thus be he 
 shaken out, and f emptied. And all the congrega- 
 tion said, Amen, and praised the Lord. '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 ""even unto 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 that had been before 
 me were chargeable unto the people, and had taken 
 of them bread and wine, beside forty shekels of sil- 
 ver ; yea, even their servants bare rule over the peo- 
 ple: but "so did not I, because of the -"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 unto the work. 
 
 17 Moreover, there tvere ? at my table an hundred 
 and fifty of the Jews and rulers, besides those that 
 came unto us from among the heathen that are 
 about us. 
 
 18 Now that r which was prepared for me daily was 
 one ox and six choice sheep; also fowls were pre- 
 pared for me, and once in ten days store of all sorts 
 of wine: yet for all this 'required not I the bread 
 of the governor, because the bondage was heavy 
 upon this people. 
 
 10 'Think upon me, my God, for good, according 
 jO all that I have done for this people.

 Sanballat practiseth by craft to terrify Nehemiah. 
 
 NOW it came to pass, " when Sanballat, and To- 
 biah, and || Geshem the Arabian, and the rest of 
 our enemies, heard that I had builded the wall, and 
 that there was no breach left therein ; (''though at that 
 time I had not set up the doors upon the gates;) 
 
 2 That Sanballat and Geshem c sent unto me, 
 saying, Come, let us meet together in some one of 
 the villages in the plain of ''Ono. But they e thought 
 to do me mischief. 
 
 3 And I sent messengers unto 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 unto me four times after this sort; 
 and I answered them after the same manner. 
 
 5 Then sent Sanballat his servant unto me in like 
 manner the fifth time with an open letter in his 
 hand ; 
 
 6 Whereiu was written, It is reported among the 
 h }athen, and || Gashmu saith it, -'that thou and the 
 Jews think to rebel: for which cause thou buildest 
 the wall, that thou mayest be their king, according 
 to these words. 
 
 7 And thou hast also appointed prophets to preach 
 of thee at Jerusalem, saying, There is a king in Ju- 
 dah : and now shall it be reported to the king accord- 
 ing to these words. Come now therefore, and let 
 us take counsel together.

 'Llie watt finished 
 
 such things done as thou sayest, but thou feignum 
 them out of thine own heart. 
 
 9 For they all made us afraid, saying, Their hands 
 shall be weakened from the work, that it be not 
 done. Now therefore, O God, strengthen my hands. 
 
 10 Afterward I came unto the house of Shemaiab 
 the son of Delaiah, the son of Mehetabeel, who wa.s 
 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 Sanballat had hired him. 
 
 13 Therefore was he hired, that I should be afraid, 
 and do so, and sin, and that they might have matter 
 for an evil report, that they might reproach me. 
 
 14 A My God, think thou upon Tobiah and Sanbal- 
 lat, according to these their works, and on the 
 'prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets, 
 that would have put me in fear. 
 
 15 11 So the wall was finished in the twenty and 
 fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty and two days. 
 
 16 And it came to pass, that *when all our ene- 
 mies heard thereof, and all the heathen that were 
 about us saw these things, they were much cast down 
 in their own eyes: for 'they perceived that this work 
 was wrought of our God. 
 
 17 If Moreover, in those days the nobles of Judah 
 f sent many letters unto Tobiah, and the letters of 
 Tobiah came unto them. 
 
 18 For there were many in Judah sw T orn unto him, 
 because he was the son-in-law of Shechaniah the son 
 of Arah ; and his son Johanan had taken the daugh- 
 ter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah. 
 
 19 Also they reported his good deeds before me, 
 and uttered my || words to him. And Tobiah sent 
 letters to put me in fear.

 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 Hana- 
 niah the ruler ''of the palace, charge over Jerusalem : 
 for he was a faithful man, and "feared God above 
 many. 
 
 3 And I said unto them, Let not the gates of Je- 
 rusalem be opened until the sun be hot; and while 
 they stand by, let them shut the doors and bar them: 
 and appoint watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, 
 every one in bis watch, and every one to be ovei 
 against his house. 
 
 4 Now the city was f large and great : but the peo- 
 ple were few therein, and the houses were not builded. 
 
 5 If And my God put into mine heart to gather 
 together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, 
 that they might be reckoned by genealogy. And I 
 found a register of the genealogy of them which 
 came up at the first, and found written therein, 
 
 6 rf These are the children of the province, that 
 went up out of the captivity, of those that had been 
 carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of 
 Babylon had carried away, and came again to Je 
 
 IrusaJem and to Judah, every one unto his city;

 The religious manner of reading and hearing the law. 
 
 AND all "the people gathered themselves together 
 as one man into the street that was * before the

 to bring the book of the law of Moses, which the 
 Lord had commanded to Israel. 
 
 2 And Ezra the priest brought ''the law before

 t that could hear with understanding, e upon the first 
 day of the seventh month. 
 
 3 And he read therein before the street that was 
 before the water-gate ffrom the morning until mid- 
 day, before the men and the women, and those that 
 could understand; and the ears of all the people 
 were attentive unto the book of the law. 
 
 4 And Ezra the scribe stood upon a f pulpit of 
 wood, which they had made for the purpose; and

 Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodijah, Maaseiah, Kelita, 
 Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Telaiah, and the Levites, 
 'caused the people 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 IT 'And Nehemiah, which is II the Tirshatha, and 
 Ezra the priest the scribe, '"and the Levites that 
 teught the people, said unto all the people, "This 
 day is holy unto the Lord your God; "mourn not, 
 nor weep. For all the people wept, when they 
 heard the words of the law. 
 
 10 Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat 
 the fat, and drink the sweet, ''and send portions 
 unto them for whom nothing is prepared : for this 
 day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; 
 fur the joy of the Lord is your strength. 
 
 11 So the Levites stilled all the people, saying, 
 Hold your peace, for the day is holy; neither be ye 
 grieved. 
 
 12 And all the people went their way to eat, and

 13 HAnd on the second day were gathered to- 
 gether the chief of the fathers of all the people, the 
 priests, and the Levites, unto Ezra the scribe, even 
 II to understand the words of the law. 
 
 14 And they found written in the law which the 
 Lord had commanded fby 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 Jerusalem, saying, Go forth 
 unto the mount, and * fetch olive-branches, and pine- 
 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, every one upon 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 them that were 
 come again out of the captivity made booths, and *f\l 
 under the booths; for since the days of Jeshua the 
 son of Nun unto that day had not the children of 
 Israel done so. And there was very 'great gladness. 
 
 18 Also f day by day, from the first day unto the 
 last day, he read in the book of the law of God. An«l 
 they kept the feast seven days ; and on the eighth da_y 
 was fa solemn assembly, d according unto the manner. 
 
 CHAP. IX. 
 
 A solemn fast, and repentance of the people. 
 
 NOW in the twenty and fourth day of "this month 
 the children of Israel were assembled with fast- 
 ing, and with sack clothes, *and earth upon them. 
 
 2 And c the seed of Israel separated themselves 
 from all f strangers, and stood and confessed their 
 sins, and the iniquities of their fathers. 
 
 3 And they stood up in their place, and rf read in 
 the book of the law of the Lord their God one fourth 
 part of the day; and another fourth part they con 
 fessed, and worshipped the Lord their God. 
 
 4 HThen stood up upon the || stairs, of the In- 
 vites, Jeshua, and Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Buiur, 
 Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani, and cried with a loud 
 voice unto the Lord their God. 
 
 5 Then the Levites, Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, 
 Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Hodijah, Shebaniah, ana' 
 Pethahiah, said, Stand up and bless the Lord your 
 God for ever and ever: and blessed be e thy glorious 
 name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise. 
 
 6 -/'Thou, even thou, art Lord alone; Uhou hast 
 made heaven, ''the heaven of heavens, with 'all their 
 host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the 
 seas, and all that is therein, and thou *preservest 
 them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee. 
 
 7 Thou art the Lord the God, who didst choose 
 'Abram, and broughtest him forth out of Ur of the 
 Chaldees, 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 Hittites, the Amorites, and the 
 Perizzites, and the Jebusites, and the Girgashites, 
 to give it, I say, to his seed, and ''hast performed 
 thy words; for thou art righteous: 
 
 9 "And didst see the affliction of our fathers in 
 Egypt, and 'heardest their cry by the Bed bea; 
 
Vhe. Levites make confession 
 
 10 And 'shewedst signs and wonders upon Pha- 
 raoh, and on all his servants, and on all the people 
 of his land: for thou knewest that they 'dealt 
 proudly against them. So didst thou "get thee a 
 name, as it is this day. 
 
 11 *And thou didst divide the sea before them, 
 po that they went through the midst of the sea on 
 the dry land; and their persecutors thou threwest 
 into the deeps, "as a stone into the mighty waters. 
 
 12 Moreover, thou 'leddest 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 spakest with them from heaven, and gavest 
 them * right judgments, and ftrue laws, good statutes 
 and commandments: 
 
 14 And madest known unto them thy c holy sab- 
 bath, and commandedst them precepts, statutes, and 
 laws, by the hand of Moses thy servant: 
 
 15 And rf gavest them bread from heaven for their 
 hunger, and e broughtest forth water for them out of 
 the rock for their thirst, and promisedst them that 
 they should ^go in to possess the land f which thou 
 hadst sworn to give them. 
 
 •16 'But thpy and our fathers dealt proudly, and 
 ''hardened their necks, and hearkened not to thy 
 commandments, 
 
 17 And refused to obey, Neither were mindful of 
 thy wonders that thou didst among them ; but harden- 
 ed their necks, and in their rebellion appointed *a 
 captain to return to their bondage : but thou art f a 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 them a molten 
 calf, and said, This is thy God that brought thee up 
 out of Egypt, and had wrought great provocations ; 
 
 19 Yet thou in thy "manifold mercies forsookest 
 them not in the wildernesss; 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 ^good Spirit to instruct 
 them, and withheldest not thy 'manna from their 
 mouth, and gavest them r water for their thirst. 
 
 21 Yea, 'forty years didst thou sustain them in 
 the wilderness, so that they lacked nothing; their 
 clothes waxed not old, and their feet swelled not. 
 
 22 Moreover, thou gavest them kingdoms and 
 nations, and didst divide them into corners: so they 
 possessed the land of " Sihon, and the land of the king 
 of Heshbon, and the land of Og king of Bashan. 
 
 23 x Their children also multiplieclst thou as the 
 stars of heaven, and broughtest them into the land, 
 concerning which thou hadst promised to their 
 fathers, that they should go in to possess it. 
 
 24 So y the children went in and possessed the 
 land, and * thou subduedst before them the inhabitants 
 of the land, the Canaanites, and gavest them into 
 their hands, with their kings, and the people of the 
 land, that they might do with them f as they would. 
 
 25 And they took strong cities, and a "fat land, 
 and possessed b houses full of all goods, || wells digged, 
 vineyards and oliveyards, and f fruit-trees in abun- 
 dance : so they did eat, and were filled, and 'became 
 fat, and delighted themselves in thy great d goodness. 
 
 26 Nevertheless, they 'were disobedient, and re- 
 belled against thee, and •'"cast thy law behind their 
 
 oacks, and slew thy 'prophets which testified against

 27 '' Therefore thou deliveredst them into the 
 hand of their enemies, who vexed them : and in the 
 time of their trouble, when they cried unto thee, 
 thou 'heardest them from heaven; and according tc 
 thy manifold mercies *thou gavest them saviours, 
 who saved them out of 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 had the dominion over 
 them : yet when they returned and cried unto thee, 
 thou heardest them from heaven; and m many times 
 didst thou deliver them according to thy mercies ; 
 
 29 And testifiedst against them, that thou Bright- 
 est bring them again unto thy law: yet they "dealt 
 proudly, and hearkened not unto thy commandments, 
 but sinned against thy judgments, ("which if a man 
 do, he shall live in them;) and f withdrew the shoul- 
 der, and hardened their neck, and would not hear. 
 
 30 Yet many years didst thou f forbear them, and 
 testifiedst ''against them by thy Spirit | 9 in thy pro- 
 phets : yet would they not give ear : 'therefore gavest 
 thou them into the hand of the people of the lands. 
 
 31 Nevertheless, for thy great mercies' sake 
 f thou didst not utterly consume them, nor forsake 
 them; for thou art 'a gracious and merciful God. 
 
 32 Now therefore, our God, the great, the 
 "mighty, and the terrible God, whokeepest covenant 
 and mercy, let not all the f trouble seem little before 
 thee, f that hath come upon us, on our kings, on oui 
 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 unto this day. 
 
 33 Howbeit, y thou art just in all that is brought 
 upon us; for thou hast done right, but z we have 
 done wickedly: 
 
 34 Neither have our kings, our princes, our 
 priests, nor our fathers, kept thy law, nor hearkened 
 unto thy commandments and thy testimonies, where- 
 with thou didst testify against them. 
 
 35 For they have a not served thee in their kingdom, 
 and in 'thy great goodness that thou gavest them, and 
 in the large and c fat land which thou gavest before 
 them, neither turned they from their wicked works. 
 
 36 Behold, d we are servants this day, andybr the 
 land that thou gavest unto our fathers to eat the 
 fruit thereof and the good thereof, behold, we are 
 servants in it: 
 
 37 And e it yieldeth much increase unto the kings 
 whom thou hast set over us because of our sins : also 
 they have •'dominion over our bodies, and ovei our 
 cattle, at their pleasure, and we are in great distress.

 unto the people of the land, nor take their daughters 
 for our sons : 
 
 31 *And if the people of the land bring ware or 
 any victuals on the sabbath day to sell, that we 
 would not buy it of them on the sabbath, or on the

 22 HThe Levites in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, 
 and Johanan, and Jaddua, were recorded chief of 
 the fathers : also the priests, to the reign of Darius 
 the Persian. 
 
 23 The sons of Levi, the chief of the fathers, 
 were written in the book of the -^Chronicles, even 
 until the days of Johanan the son of Eliashib. 
 
 24 And the chief of the Levites: Hashabiah, 
 Sherebiah, and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with 
 their brethren over against them, to praise and to 
 
 five thanks, * according to the commandment of 
 )avid the man of God, ward over against ward. 
 
 25 Mattaniah, and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshul- 
 lam, Talmon, Akkub, were porters keeping the ward 
 at the || thresholds of the gates. 
 
 26 These were in the days of Joiakim the son of 
 Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehe- 
 miah 'the governor, and of Ezra the priest, *tbe scribe 
 
 27 H And at 'the dedication of the wall of Jerusa- 
 lem, they sought the Levites out of all their places, 
 to bring them to Jerusalem, to keep the dedication 
 with gladness, "both with thanksgivings, and with 
 singing, with cymbals, psalteries, and with harps. 
 
 28 And the sons of the singers gathered themselvts 
 together, both out of the plain country round about 
 Jerusalem, and from the villages of Netophathi; 
 
 29 Also from the house of Gilgal, and out of the 
 fields of Geba and Azmaveth : for the singers had 
 builded them villages round about Jerusalem. 
 
 30 And the priests and the Levites purified 
 themselves, and purified the people, and the gates, 
 and the wall. 
 
 31 Then I brought up the princes of Judah upon 
 the wall, and appointed two great companies of them 
 that gave thanks, whereof "one went on the right 
 hand upon the wall "toward the dung-gate: 
 
 32 And after them went Hoshaiah, and half of 
 the princes of Judah, 
 
 33 And Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam, 
 
 34 Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and 
 Jeremiah, 
 
 35 And certain of the priests' sons 'with trmu 
 pets; namely, Zechariah the son of Jonathan, the son 
 of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of 
 Michaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph.

The offices of the priests and Leviies. 
 
 86 And his brethren, Shemaiah, and Azarael, 
 Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethaneel, and Judah, Ha- 
 nani, with 'the musical instruments of David the 
 oian of God, and Ezra the scribe before them. 
 
 37 r And at the fountain-gate, which was over 
 against them, they went up by 'the stairs of the 
 city of David, at the going up of the wall, above the 
 house of David, even unto 'the water-gate eastward. 
 
 38 "And the other company of them that gave 
 thanks went over against them, and I after them, 
 and the half of the people upon the wall, from beyond 
 r the tower of the furnaces even unto y the broad wall; 
 
 39 x And from above the gate of Ephraim, and 
 above "the old gate, and above ''the fish-gate, c and the 
 tower of Hananeel, and the tower of Meah, even 
 unto "the sheep-gate: and they stood still in e the 
 prison -gate. 
 
 40 So stood the two companies of them that gave 
 thanks in the house of God, and I, and the half of 
 the rulers with me : 
 
 41 And the priests; Eliakim, Maaseiah, Minia- 
 min, 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 f sang loud, with Jez- 
 rahiah their overseer. 
 
 43 Also that day they offered great sacrifices, 
 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 H 7 And at that time were some appointed over 
 the chambers for the treasures, 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 : f for Judah re- 
 joiced for the priests and for the Levites t that waited. 
 
 45 And both the singers and the porters kept 
 the ward of their God, and the ward of the purifi- 
 cation, e according to the commandment of David, 
 and of Solomon his son. 
 
 46 For in the days of David A and Asaph of old 
 there were chief of the singers, and songs of praise 
 and thanksgiving unto God. 
 
 47 And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and 
 in the days of Nehemiah, gave the portions of the 
 singers and the porters, every day his portion: 'and 
 they || sanctified holy things unto the Levites; *and 
 the Levites sanctified them unto the children of Aaron.

 Divers abuses reformed by Nehemiah. 
 
 ON that day " f they read in the book of Moses in 
 the f au dience of the people; and therein was 
 found written, b 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 c hired Balaam 
 against them, that he should curse them: d howbeit, 
 our God turned the curse into a blessing. 
 
 3 Now it came to pass, when they had heard the 
 law, e that they separated from Israel all the mixed 
 multitude. 
 
 4 IT And before this, Eliashib the priest, f having 
 the oversight of the chamber of the house of our

 brought ^ 
 with the meat-offering and the 
 
 Diver's abuses reformed by Nehemiah 
 
 corn, the new wine, and the oil, (f* which Mas com- 
 manded to be given to the Levites, and the singers- 
 and the porters,) and the offerings of the priests. 
 
 6 But in all this time was not I at Jerusalem: *for 
 in the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes kin^ 
 of Babylon came I unto the king, and f after certain 
 days || obtained I leave of the king : 
 
 7 And I came to Jerusalem, and understood of 
 the evil that Eliashib did for Tobiah, in 'preparing 
 him a chamber in the courts of the house of God. 
 
 8 And it grieved me sore : therefore I cast forth 
 all the household-stuff of Tobiah out of the chamber. 
 
 9 Then 1 commanded, and they * cleansed the 
 chambers : and thither brought I again the vessels 
 of the house of God 
 frankincense. 
 
 10 HAnd I perceived that the portions of the 
 Levites had 'not been given them: for the Levites 
 and the singers, that did the work, were fled every 
 one to m his field. 
 
 11 Then "contended I w T ith the rulers, and said, 
 "Why is the house of God forsaken? And I gather- 
 ed them together, and set them in their f place. 
 
 12 ''Then brought all Judah the tithe of the corn 
 and the new wine and the oil unto the || treasuries. 
 
 13 'And I made treasurers over the treasuries, 
 Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok the scribe; and 
 of the Levites, Pedaiah : and f next to them was 
 Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah: 
 for they were counted r faithful, and \ their office 
 was to distribute unto their brethren. 
 
 14 'Remember me, O my God, concerning this, 
 and wipe not out my f good deeds that I have done 
 for the house of my God, and for the || offices thereof. 
 
 15 Uln those days saw I in Judah some treading 
 wine-presses 'on the sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, 
 and lading asses ; as also wine, grapes, and figs, anil 
 all manner of burdens, "which they brought info 
 Jerusalem on the sabbath day: and I testified 
 against them in the day wherein they sold victuals 
 
 16 There dwelt men of Tyre also therein, which 
 brought fish, and all manner of ware, and sold on 
 the sabbath unto the children of Judah, and in Je- 
 rusalem. 
 
 17 *Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, 
 and said unto them, What evil thing is this that yo 
 do, and profane the sabbath day? 
 
 18 y 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 Je- 
 rusalem z began to be dark before the sabbath, I com- 
 manded that the gates should be shut, and charged 
 that they should not be opened till after the sabbath : 
 "and some of my servants set I at the gates, that there 
 should no burden be brought in on the sabbath day. 
 
 20 So the merchants and sellers of all kind of 
 ware lodged without Jerusalem once or twice. 
 
 21 Then I testified against them, and said unto 
 them, Why lodge ye f about the wall ? if ye do so 
 again, I will lay hands on you. From that time 
 forth came they 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, O my God, concerning this also, and 
 spare mc according to the !| greatness of thy morcv 
 
A tut* nevus's royal feast. 
 
 23 II In those days also saw I Jews that | w had 
 married wives of Ashdod, of Amnion, and of Moab : 
 
 24 And their children spake half in the speech 
 of Ashdod, and f could not speak in the Jews' lan- 
 guage, but according to the language f of each people. 
 
 25 And I 'contended with them, and || cursed 
 them, and smote certain of them, and plucked off 
 their hair, and made them ■'"swear by God, saying, 
 Ve shall not give your daughters unto their sons, nor 
 take their daughters unto your sons, or for yourselves. 
 
 2G *Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these 
 things? yet "among many nations was there no 
 king like him, 'who was beloved of his God, and 
 God made him king over all Israel: * nevertheless 
 even him did outlandish women cause to sin.

 1 Ahasuerus maketh royal feasts. 10 Vashti sent for. 
 
 NOW it came to pass in the days of "Ahasuerus, 
 (this is Ahasuerus which reigned ''from India 
 even unto Ethiopia, c over an hundred and seven and 
 twenty provinces :) 
 
 2 That in those days, when the king Ahasuerus 
 "sat on the throne of his kingdom, which was in 
 ; Shushan the palace, 
 
 3 In the third year of his reign, he '"made a feast 
 unto all his princes and his servants ; the power of 
 Persia and Media, the nobles and princes of the 
 provinces, being before him : 
 
 4 When he shewed the riches of his glorious 
 .ingdom and the honour of his excellent majesty 
 
 many days, even an hundred and fourscore days. 
 
 5 And when these days were expired, the king 
 made a feast unto all the people that were f present in 
 Shushan the palace, both unto great and small, seven 
 days, in the court of the garden of the king's palace ; 
 
 6 Where were white, green, and || blue hangings, 
 Tastened with cords of fine linen and purple to sil- 
 ver rings and pillars of marble: ■Uhe beds were of 
 gold and silver, upon a pavement || of red, and blue, 
 and white, and black marble. 
 
 7 And they gave them drink in vessels of gold, (the 
 vessels being diverse one from another,) and f royal 
 wine in abundance, faccording to the state 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 every man's pleasure. 
 
 9 Also Vashti the queen made a feast for the women 
 in the roval house which belonged to king Ahasuerus. 
 
 10 IT On the seventh day, when Hhe heart of the 
 king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehu- 
 man, Biztha, 'Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, 
 and Carcas, the seven || chamberlains that served in 
 the presence of Ahasuerus the king, 
 
 11 To bring Vashti the queen before the king 
 with the crown royal, to show the people and the 
 princes her beauty: for she was ffair to look on. 
 
 12 But the queen Vashti refused to come at the 
 king's commandment fby his chamberlains: there- 
 fore was the king very wroth, and his anger burned 
 m him. 
 
 13 IF Then the king said to the *wise men, 'which 
 knew the times, (for so was the king's manner to- 
 ward all that knew law and judgment:

 14 And the next unto him was Carshena, Shf*- 
 thar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Me-

 "which saw the king's face, and which sat the first 
 in the kingdom;) 
 
 15 f What shall we do unto the queen Vashti 
 according to law, because she hath . not performed 
 the commandment of the king Ahasuerus by the 
 chamberlains? 
 
 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 that are in all the provinces of tho 
 king Ahasuerus. 
 
 17 For this deed of the queen shall come abroad 
 unto all women, so that they shall "despise their 
 husbands in their eyes, when it shall be reported, 
 The king Ahasuerus commanded Vashti the queen 
 to be brought in before him, but she came not, 
 
 18 Likewise shall the ladies of Persia and Media 
 say this day unto all the king's princes, which have 
 heard of the deed of the queen. Thus shall there 
 arise too much contempt and wrath. 
 
 19 f If it please the king, let there go a royal 
 commandment ffrom him, and let it be written 
 among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, 
 fthat it be not altered, That Vashti come no more 
 before Ahasuerus : and let the king give her royal 
 estate t unto another that is better than she. 
 
 20 And when the king's decree which he shall 
 make shall be published throughout all his empire, 
 (for it is great,) all the wives shall ''give to their 
 husbands honour, both to great and small. 
 
 21 And the saying f pleased the king and the 
 princes ; and the king did according to the word 
 of Memucan:. 
 
 22 For he sent letters into all the king's pro 
 vinces, 'into every province according to the writ 
 ing thereof, and to every people after their language, 
 that every man should 'bear rule in his own house; 
 and f that it should be published according to the 
 language of every people. 
 
 CHAP. II. 
 
 Out of the choice of virgins, a queen is to be chosen. 
 
 AFTER these things, when the wrath of king 
 Ahasuerus was appeased, he remembered 
 Vashti, and what she had done, and "what was de- 
 creed against her. 
 
 2 Then said the king's servants that ministered 
 
 838 
 
b!s!lier made queen. 
 
 auto him, Let there be fair young virgins "ought 
 for the king: 
 
 3 And let the king appoint officers in all the pro- 
 vinces of his kingdom, that they may gather together 
 all the fair young virgins unto Shusnan the palace, to 
 the house of the women, funto the custody of ||IIege 
 the king's chamberlain, keeper of the women; and 
 let their things for purification be given them: 
 
 4 And let the maiden which pleaseth the king 
 be queen instead of Vashti. And the thing pleased 
 the Icing; and he did so. 
 
 5 IT AW in Shushan the palace there was a certain 
 Jew, whose name aias Mordecai, the son of Jair, 
 the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Beniamite; 
 
 6 'Who had been carried away from Jerusalem 
 with the captivity which had been carried away 
 with || Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchad- 
 nezzar the king of Babylon had carried away. 
 
 7 And he fbroughtup Hadassah, {thai is, Esther,) 
 'his uncle's daughter: for she had neither father 
 nor mother, and the maid was ffair 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 com- 
 mandment and his decree was heard, and when 
 many maidens were ''gathered together unto Shu- 
 shan the palace, to the custody of Hegai, that 
 Esther was brought also unto the king's house, to 
 the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women. 
 
 9 And the maiden pleased him, and she obtained 
 kindness of him ; and he speedily gave her her 'things 
 for purification, with fsuch things as belonged to her, 
 and seven maidens which were meet to be given her, 
 out of the king's house : and the preferred her and her 
 maids unto the best place of the house of the women. 
 
 10 ^Esther had not shewed her people nor her 
 kindred: for Mordecai had charged her that she 
 should not shew it. 
 
 11 And Mordecai walked every day before the 
 court of the women's house, f to know how Esther 
 did, and what should become of her. 
 
 12 If Now when every maid's turn was come to 
 go in to king Ahasuerus, after that she had been 
 twelve months, according to the manner of the avo- 
 men, (for so were the days of their purifications 
 accomplished, to wit, 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 every maiden unto the king; 
 whatsoever she desired was given her to go with her 
 out of the house of the women unto 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 Shaashgaz, the king's chamber- 
 lain, which kept the concubines : she came in unto 
 the king no more, except the king delighted in her, 
 and that she were called by name. 
 
 15 If Now when the turn of Esther, *the daughter 
 of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken 
 her for his daughter, was come to go in unto the 
 king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king's 
 chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. 
 And Esther obtained favour in the sight of all them 
 that looked upon her. 
 
 16 So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus 
 into his house-royal in the tenth month, which is the 
 month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign

 women, and she obtained grace and || favour f m his 
 sight more than all the virgins ; so that he set the 
 royal crown upon her head, tnd made her queen 
 instead of Vashti. 
 
 18 Then the king ''made a great feast unto all 
 his princes and his servants, even Esther's feast; 
 and ne made a f release to the provinces, and gave 
 gifts, according to the state of the king. 
 
 19 And when the virgins were gathered together 
 the second tinv,, then Mordecai sat l m the king's 
 gate. 
 
 20 * Esther had not yet shewed her kindred, nor 
 her people, as Mordecai had charged her: for 
 Esther did the commandment of Mordecai, like as 
 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 chamberlains, || Bigthan 
 and Teresh, of those which kept fthe door, were wroth, 
 and sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus. 
 
 22 And the thing was known to Mordecai, m who 
 told it unto Esther the queen; and Esther certified 
 the king thereof in Mordecai's name. 
 
 23 And when inquisition was made of the mat- 
 ter, it was found out; therefore they were both 
 hanged on a tree: and it was written in "the book 
 of the Chronicles before the king. 
 
 CHAP. III. 
 
 Haman seeketh revenge, upon all the Jews 
 
 AFTER these things did king Ahasuerus pro- 
 mote Hainan the son of Hammedatha the b Aga- 
 gite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all 
 the princes that were with him. 
 
 2 And all the king's servants that were c in the 
 king's gate, bowed, and reverenced Haman; for the 
 king had so commanded concerning him. But Mor- 
 decai ''bowed not, nor did him reverence. 
 
 3 Then the king's servants which were in the 
 king's gate, said unto Mordecai, Why transgressest 
 thou the 'king's commandment? 
 
 4 Now it came to pass, when they spake daily unto 
 him, and he hearkened not unto them, that they 
 told Haman, to see whether Mordecai's matters would 
 stand : for he had told them that he was a Jew. 
 
 5 And when Haman saw that Mordecai -^bowed 
 not, nor did him reverence, then was Haman *full 
 of wrath. 
 
 6 And he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai 
 alone; for they had shewed him the people of Mor- 
 decai: wherefore Haman ''sought to destroy all the 
 Jews that were throughout 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 kins; Ahasuerus, 'they cast 
 Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, 
 and from month to month, to the twelfth month, 
 that is, the month Adar. 
 
 8 If And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, There 
 is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed 
 among the people in all the provinces of thy king- 
 dom; and * their laws are diverse from all people; 
 neither keep they the king's laws: therefore it is 
 not ffor the king*s profit to suffer them. 
 
 9 If it please the king, let it be written fthat 
 they may be destroyed : and I will fpay ten thousand 
 talents of silver to the hands of those that have the 
 charge of the business, to bring it into the kings 
 treasuries. 
 
 10 And the king 'took '"his ring from his hand, ami 
 
 
Ahasuerus's decree against the Jews. 
 
 CHAP. IV, V 
 
 gave it unto Haman the son of Hammedatha the 
 Agagite, the Jews' || enemy. 
 
 11 And the king said unto Hainan, The silver is 
 given to thee, the people also, to do with them as 
 it seeineth good to thee. 
 
 12 "Then were the king's || scribes called on the 
 thirteenth day of the first month, and there was 
 written according to all that Haman had command- 
 ed unto the king s lieutenants, 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 ever}' people after their lan- 
 guage; 'in the name of king Ahasuerus was it 
 written, and sealed with the king's 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, both young and old, little children 
 and women, r in one day, even upon the thirteenth 
 day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, 
 and 'to take the spoil of them for a prey. 
 
 14 " The copy of the writing for a commandment 
 to be given in every province was published unto 
 all people, that they snould be ready against that day. 
 
 15 The posts went out, being hastened by the 
 king's commandment, and the decree was given in 
 Shushan the palace. And the king and Haman sat 
 down to drink; but ^the city Shushan was perplexed. 
 
 CHAP. IV. 
 
 The great mourning of Mordecai and the Jews. 
 
 WHEN Mordecai perceived all that was done, 
 Mordecai "rent his clothes, and put on sack- 
 cloth 'with ashes, and went out into the midst of 
 the city, and c cried 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 f many lay in sackcloth and ashes. 
 
 4 IF So Esther's maids and her f chamberlains 
 came and told it her. Then was the queen exceed- 
 ingly grieved ; and she sent raiment to clothe Mor- 
 decai, and to take away his sackcloth from him: 
 but he received it not. 
 
 5 Then called Esther for Hatach, one of the king's 
 chamberlain's fwhoni he had appointed to attend 
 upon her, and gave him a commandment to Mor- 
 decai, to know what it was, and why it was. 
 
 6 So Hatach went forth to Mordecai, unto the 
 street of the city, which was before the king's gate. 
 
 7 And Mordecai told him of all that had nap- 
 pened unto him, and of d the sum of the money that 
 Haman had promised to pay to the king's treasu- 
 ries for the Jews, to destroy them. 
 
 8 Also he gave him c the copy of the writing of 
 the decree that was given at Shushan to destroy 
 them, to shew it unto Esther, and to declare it unto 
 her, and to charge her that she should go in unto 
 the king, to make supplication unto him, and to 
 make request before him for her people. 
 
 9 And Hatach came and told Esther. the words 
 of Mordecai. 
 
 10 If Again Esther spake unto Hatach, and gave 
 mm commandment unto Mordecai; 
 
 lx All the king's servants, and the people of the 
 king's provinces, do know, that whosoever, whether 
 man or woman, shall come unto the king into the 
 dinner court, who is not called, * there is one law of

 Esther appoint eth a fast 
 
 his to put him to death, except such ''to whom the 
 king shall hold out the golden sceptre, that he may 
 live : but I have not been called to come in unto 
 the king these thirty days. 
 
 12 And they told to Mordecai Esther's words. 
 
 13 Then Mordecai commanded to answer Estner, 
 Think not with thyself that thou sbalt escape in 
 the king's house, more than all the Jews. 
 
 14 For if thou altogether boldest thy peace at 
 this time, then shall there f enlargement and deli- 
 verance arise to the Jews from another place; but 
 thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed : and 
 who knoweth, whether thou art come to the king 
 dom for such a time as this? 
 
 15 IT Then Esther bade them return Mordecai 
 this answer, 
 
 1G Go, gather together all the Jews that are 
 f present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and 
 neither eat nor drink 'three days, night or day: I 
 also and my maidens will fast likewise : and so will 
 I go in unto the king, which is not according to the 
 law; *and if I perish, I perish. 
 
 17 So Mordecai fwent his way, and did accord- 
 ing to all that Esther had commanded him. 
 
 CHAP. V. 
 
 Esther obtainelh the grace of the golden sceptre. 
 
 NOW it came to pass " on the third day, that Esther 
 put on her royal apparel, and stood in 'the in- 
 ner court of the king's house, over against the king's 
 house : and the king sat upon his royal throne in 
 the royal house, over against the gate of the house. 
 
 2 And it was so, when the king saw Esther the 
 queen standing in the court, that c she obtained fa- 
 vour in his sight: and ''the king held out to Esther 
 the golden sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther 
 drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre. 
 
 3 Then said the king unto her, What wilt thou, 
 queen Esther? and what is thy request? 'it shall 
 be even given thee to the half of the kingdom. 
 
 4 And Esther answered, If it seem good unto the 
 king, let the king and Haman come this day unto 
 the banquet that I have prepared for 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 that 
 Esther had prepared. 
 
 6 H- 7 And the king said unto ' Esther at the ban- 
 quet of wine, 8 What is thy petition? and it shall be 
 granted thee : and what is thy request ? even to 
 the 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 
 fto perform my request, let the king and Haman 
 come to the banquet that I shall prepare for them, 
 and I will do to-morrow as the king hath said. 
 
 9 II Then went Haman forth that day joyful and 
 with a glad heart: but when Haman saw r Morde- 
 cai in the king's gate, ''that he stood not up, no- 
 moved for him, he was full of indignati 
 Mordecai. 
 
 10 Nevertheless, Haman 'refrained himself: and 
 when he came home, he sent and t called for his 
 friends, and Zeresh his wife. 
 
 11 And Haman told them of the glory of his 
 riches, and *the multitude of his children, and all 
 the things wherein the king had promoted him, and 
 
 against 
 

 
 Mordecai honoured. 
 
 how he had 'advanced him above the princes and 
 servants of the king. 
 
 12 Hainan said moreover, Yea, Esther the queen 
 did let no man come in with the king unto the ban- 
 quet that she had prepared but myself; and to- 
 morrow am I invited unto her also with the king. 
 
 13 Yet all this availeth me nothing, so long as I 
 see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate. 
 
 14 11 Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends 
 unto him, Let a f "gallows be made of fifty cubits 
 high, and to-morrow "speak thou unto the king that 
 Mordecai may be hanged thereon : then go thou in 
 merrily with the king unto the banquet. And the 
 
 ■thing pleased Hainan; and he caused "the gallows 
 to be made. 
 
 CHAP. VI. 
 
 Ahasw.rus rewardeth Mordecai. 
 
 N that night f ( mild not the king sleep, 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 Mordecai had 
 told of || Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's 
 chamberlains, the keepers of the f door, who sought 
 to lay hand 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 unto him, There 
 is nothing done for him. 
 
 4 f And the king said, Who is in the court? (Now 
 Banian was come *into the outward court of the 
 king's house, c to speak unto the king to hang Mor- 
 decai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.) 
 
 5 And the kmg's servants said unto him, Behold, 
 Haman standeth in the court. And the king said, 
 Let him come in. 
 
 6 So Haman came in. And the king said unto 
 him, What shall be done unto the man f whom 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 
 | whom the king delighteth to honour, 
 
 8 fLet the royal apparel be brought f which the 
 k'mg useth to wear, and "the horse that the king rideth 
 upon, and the crown royal which is set upon his head : 
 
 9 And let this apparel and horse be delivered to 
 the hand of one of the king's most noble princes, 
 that they may array the man withal whom the king 
 delighteth to honour, and f bring him on horseback 
 through the street of the city, e 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 even so to Mordecai the Jew,tlmt sitteth at the king's 
 gate : f let nothing fail of all that thou hast spoken. 
 
 11 Then took Haman the apparel and the horse, 
 and arrayed Mordecai, and brought him on horse- 
 back through the street of the city, and proclaimed 
 before him, thus shall it be done unto the man 
 whom the king delighteth to honour. 
 
 12 HAnd Mordecai came again to the king's 
 gate. But Haman ^ hasted to his house mourning, 
 e and having his head covered. 
 
 13 And Haman told Zeresh his wife and all his 
 
 friends every thing that had befallen him. Then 
 
 said his wise men and Zeresh his wife unto him,

 CHAP. VII. 
 
 Esther malcelh suit for her own life and her people's 
 
 SO the king and Haman came fto banquet vith 
 Esther the queen. 
 
 2 And the king said again unto Esther on the 
 second day "at the banquet of wine, What is thy 
 petition, queen Esther? and it shall be gramed 
 thee : and what is th}' request ? and it shall be j er- 
 formed, even to the half of the kingdom. 
 
 3 Then Esther the queen answered and said If 
 I have found favour in thy sight, king, and i it 
 please the king, let my life be given me at m\ pe- 
 tition, and my people at my request: 
 
 4 For we are * sold, I and my people, t to b» de- 
 stroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had 
 been sold for bond-men and bond-women, I had 
 held my tongue, although the enemy could not 
 countervail the king's damage. 
 
 5 IT Then the king Ahasuerus answered and said 
 unto Esther the queen, Who is he, and wheie is 
 he, fthat durst presume in his heart to do so? 
 
 6 And Esther said, f The adversary and enemy 
 is this Avicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid 
 || before the king and the queen. 
 
 7 HAnd the king arising from the banquet of 
 wine in his wrath ivent 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 
 determined against him by the king. 
 
 8 Then the king returned out of the palace-garden 
 into the place of the banquet of wine; and Hainan 
 was fallen upon c the bed whereon Esther was. Then 
 said the king, Will he force the queen also f before 
 me in the house? As the w 7 ord went out of the 
 king's mouth, they "covered Hainan's face. 
 
 9 And e Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, said 
 before the king, Behold also ^ the t gallows fifty cubits 
 high, which Hainan had made for Mordecai, who had 
 spoken good for the king, standeth in the house of 
 Haman. Then the king said, Hang him thereon. 
 
 10 So *the\ hanged Haman on the gallows that 
 he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the 
 king's wrath pacified. 
 
 CHAP. VIII. 
 
 Esther maketh suit to reverse Soman's letters. 
 
 ON that day did the king Ahasuerus give the 
 house of Haman, the JeAvs' enemy, unto Esther 
 the queen. And Mordecai came before the king; 
 for Esther had told ° what he was unto her. 
 
 2 And the king took off *his ring Avhich he had 
 taken from Haman, and gave it unto Mordecai. And 
 Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman. 
 
 3 11 And Esther spake yet again before the king, 
 and fell down at his feet, | and besought him with 
 tears to put away the mischief of Hainan the Agagite, 
 and his device that he had devised against the JeAAs. 
 
 4 Then r the king held out the golden sceptre 
 toward 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 eyes, let it be Avritten 
 to reverse f the letters devised by Haman the son of 
 
Mordecai is advanced. 
 
 llainmedatha the Agagite, || which ho wrote to de- 
 stroy the Jews which are in all the king's provinces: 
 
 6 For how can I f endure to see ''the evil that 
 shall come unto my people? or how can I endure 
 to see the destruction of my kindred ? 
 
 7 If Then the king Ahasuerus said unto Esther 
 the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, Behold, e l have 
 given Esther the house of Hainan, and him they 
 nave hanged upon the gallows, because he laid his 
 hand upon the Jews. 
 
 8 Write ye also for the Jews, as it liketh you, in 
 the king's name, and seal it Avith the king's ring : for 
 the writing which is written in the king's name, and 
 sealed with the king's ring, -'may no man reverse. 
 
 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 da// thereof; and it was 
 written, according to all that Mordecai commanded, 
 unto the Jews, and to the lieutenants, and the depu- 
 ties and rulers of the provinces which are ''from 
 India unto Ethiopia, an hundred twenty and seven 
 provinces, unto every province 'according to the 
 writing thereof, and unto every people after their 
 language, and to the Jews according to their writ- 
 ing, and according to their language. 
 
 10 *And he wrote in the king Ahasuerus's name, 
 and sealed it with the king's ring, and sent letters 
 by posts on horseback, and riders on mules, camels, 
 and young dromedaries : 
 
 11 Wherein the king granted the Jews which 
 were in every city to gather themselves together, 
 and to stand for their life, to destroy, to slay, and to 
 cause to perish, all the power of the people and pro- 
 vince that would assault them, both little ones and 
 women, and 'to take the spoil of them for a prey, 
 
 12 m Upon 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 commandment 
 t,o be given in every province vms fpublished unto all 
 people, and that the Jews should be ready against 
 that day to avenge themselves on their enemies. 
 
 ] 4 So the posts that rode upon mules and camels 
 went out, being hastened and pressed on by the 
 king's commandment. And the decree was given 
 at Shushan the palace. 
 
 15 II And Mordecai went out from the presence 
 of the king in royal apparel of || blue and Avhite, and 
 with a great crown of gold, and with a garment of 
 line linen and purple: and "the city of Shushan re- 
 joiced, and was glad: 
 
 16 The Jews had ^ light, and gladness, and joy, 
 and honour. 
 
 17 And in every province, and in every city, whi- 
 thersoever the king's commandment and his decree 
 came, the Jews hy.d joy and gladness, a feast 9 and a 
 good day. And many 'of the people of the land ''be- 
 came Jews ; for • the fear of the Jews fell upon them.

 The Jeius slay their enenih'h 
 
 their cities throughout all the provinces of the 
 king Ahasuerus, to 'lay hand on such as sought 
 their hurt: and no man could withstand them; for 
 •'the fear of them fell upon all people. 
 
 3 And all the rulers of the provinces, and the 
 lieutenants, and the deputies, and f officers of the 
 king helped the Jews; because the fear of Morde- 
 cai fell upon them. 
 
 4 For Mordecai was great in the king's house, 
 and his fame went out throughout all the provinces : 
 for this man Mordecai e waxed greater and greater. 
 
 5 Thus the Jews smote all their enemies with the 
 stroke of the sword, and slaughter, and destruction, 
 and did fwhat they would unto those that hated them. 
 
 6 And in Shushan the palace the Jews slew and 
 destro}'ed five hundred men. 
 
 7 And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha, 
 
 8 And Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha, 
 
 9 And Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and 
 Vajezatha, 
 
 10 ''The ten sons of Hainan the son of Harame- 
 datha, the enemy of the Jews, slew they; 'but on 
 the spoil laid they not their hand. 
 
 11 On that day the number of those that were slain 
 in Shushan the palace fwas brought before the king. 
 
 12 IFAncl the king said unto Esther the queen, 
 The Jews have slain and destroyed five nundred 
 men in Shushan the palace, and the ten sons of 
 Haman; what have they done in the rest of the 
 king's provinces? now fc what is thy petition? and 
 it shall be granted thee : or what is thy request 
 further? and it shall be done. 
 
 13 Then said Esther, If it please the king, let it 
 be granted to the Jews which are in Shushan to do 
 to-morrow also 'according unto this day's decree, and 
 flet Haman's ten sons "' be hanged upon the gallows 
 
 14 And the king commanded it so to be done : 
 and the decree was given at Shushan; and they 
 hanged Haman's ten sons. 
 
 15 For the Jews that were in Shushan "gathered 
 themselves together on the fourteenth day also ot 
 the month Adar, and slew thre« hundred men at 
 Shushan; "but on the prey they laid not their hand. 
 
 16 But the other Jews that were in the king's 
 provinces '' gathered themselves together, and stood 
 for their lives, and had rest from their enemies, and 
 slew of their foes seventy and five thousand, ''but 
 they laid not their hands on the pre} r . 
 
 17 On the thirteenth day of the month Adar, 
 and on the fourteenth day f of the same rested they, 
 and made it a day of feasting and gladness. 
 
 18 But the Jews that were at Shushan assembled 
 together 'on the thirteenth day thereof, and on the four 
 teenth thereof; and on the fifteenth day of the same 
 they rested, ancl made it a day of feasting and gladness. 
 
 19 Therefore the Jews of the villages, that dwelt in 
 the unwalled towns, made the fourteenth day of the 
 month Adar s a day of gladness and feasting, 'and a 
 good day, and of "sending portions one to another. 
 
 20 HAnd Mordecai wrote these things, and sent 
 letters unto all the Jews that were in all the pro- 
 vinces of the king Ahasuerus, both nigh 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 y turned 
 
 unto them from «"M % row to joy, and from mourning 
 
 as; 
 
71 te two days of Purim 
 
 into a good day: that they should make them days 
 of feasting and 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 unto them; 
 
 24 Because Ham an the son of Hammedatha, the 
 Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, "had devised 
 against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur, 
 that is, the lot, to f consume them, and to destroy 
 them ; 
 
 25 But j'when Esther came before the king, he 
 commanded by letters that his wicked device, which 
 he devised against the Jews, should 'return upon 
 his own head, and that he and his sons should be 
 hanged on the gallows. 
 
 26 Wherefore they called these days Purim after 
 the name of || Pur. Therefore, for ail the words of 
 d this letter, and of that which they had seen concern- 
 ing this matter, and which had come unto them, 
 
 27 The Jews ordained, and took upon them, and 
 upon their seed, and upon all such as ^joined the - 
 selves unto them, so as it should not "f fail, that 
 they would keep these two days according to their 
 writing, and according to their appointed time every 
 year; 
 
 28 And that these days should be remembered 
 and kept throughout every generation, every family, 
 every province, and every city; and that these days

 AND the king Ahasuerus laid a tribute upon the 
 land, and upon "the isles of the sea. 
 
 2 And all the acts of his power and of his might, 
 and the declaration of the greatness of Mordecai, 
 6 whereunto the king f advanced him, are they not 
 written in the book of the Chronicles of the kings 
 of Media and Persia? 
 
 3 For Mordecai the Jew was c next unto king 
 Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews, and accepted 
 of the multitude of his brethren, "-'seeking the wealth 
 of his people, and speaking peace to all his seed. 
 
 The BOOK of JOB: 
 
 chap. I. 
 
 The holiness, and religious care of Job for his children. 
 
 THERE was a man "in the land of Uz, whose 
 name was 6 Job; and that man was "perfect and 
 upright, and one that ''feared God, and eschewed 
 evil. 
 
 2 And there were born unto him seven sons and 
 three daughters. 
 
 3 His || substance also was seven thousand sheep, 
 and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke 
 of oxen, and five hundred she-asses, and a very 
 great || household ; so that this man was the great- 
 est of all the f men of the east. 
 
 4 And his sons went and feasted in their houses, 
 every one his day; and sent and called for their 
 three sisters to eat and to drink with them. 
 
 5 And it was so, when the days of their feasting 
 were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, 
 and rose up early in the morning, e and offered burnt- 
 olferings according to the number of them all: for 
 Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and 
 ■/'cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job f con- 
 tinually. 
 
 6 H Now 8 there was a day h when the sons of God 
 came to present themselves before the Lord, and 
 t Satan came also f among them. 
 
 7 And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence com est 
 thou? Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, 
 From 'going to and fro in the earth, and from 
 walking up and down in it. 
 
 8 And the Lord said unto Satan, f *Hast thou 
 considered my servant Job, that there is none like 
 him in the earth, 'a perfect and an upright man, 
 one that feareth God, and escheweth evil ? 
 
 9 Then Satan answered the Lord and said, Doth 
 oob fear God for nought?

 11 "But put forth thine hand now, and touch all

 12 And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold, all 
 that he hath is in thy f power ; only upon himself 
 put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth 
 from the presence of the Lord. 
 
 13 IT And there was a day ? when his sons and 
 his daughters tvere eating and drinking wine in their 
 eldest brother's house : 
 
 14 And there came a messenger unto Job, and 
 said, The oxen were ploughing, and the asses feed- 
 ing beside them : 
 
 15 And the Sabeans fell upon them, and took 
 them away; yea, they have slain the servants with

 another, and said, || The fire of God is fallen from 
 heaven, and hath burned up the sheep and the ser- 
 vants, and consumed them ; and I only am escaped 
 alone to tell thee. 
 
 17 While he ivas yet speaking, there came also 
 another, and said, The Chaldenns made out three 
 bands, and ffell upon the camels, and have carried 
 them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edgo 
 of the sword; and I only am 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 drinking wine in their eldest bro- 
 ther's house : 
 
 19 And behold, there came a great wind f from 
 the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the

 house, and it fell upon the young men, and they

 20 Then Job arose, 'and rent his || mantle, and 
 shaved his head, and 'fell down upon the ground, 
 and worshipped, 
 
 21 And said, "Naked came I out of my mother's

 Satan oblaineth further leave to tempt Job. 
 
 AGAIN "there was a day when the sons of God 
 came to present themselves before the Lord, 
 and Satan came also among them to present him- 
 self before the Lord. 
 
 2 And the Lord said unto Satan, From whence 
 eomest thou? And 'Satan answered the Lord, and 
 said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from 
 walking up and down in it. 
 
 3 And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou con- 
 sidered my servant Job, that there is none like him 
 in the earth, c a perfect and an upright man, one that 
 feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he d hold- 
 eth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me 
 against him, fto destroy him without cause. 
 
 4 And Satan answered the Lord, and said, Skin for 
 skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life. 
 
 5 f But put forth thine hand now, and touch his *bone 
 Mid his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face. 
 
 6 A And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold, he is 
 in thine hand ; || but save his life. 
 
 7 IT So went Satan forth from the presence of 
 the Lord, and smote Job with sore boils 'from the 
 sole of his foot unto his crown. 
 
 8 And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself 
 withal; *and he sat down among the ashes. 
 
 9 H Then said his wife unto him, 'Dost thou still 
 '•retain thine integrity? curse God, and die. 
 
 10 But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of 
 the foolish women speaketh. What! "shall we re- 
 ceive good at the hand of God, and shall we not 
 receive evil ? "In all this did not Job p sin with his lips. 
 
 11 IT Now when Job's three Q friends heard of all 
 this evil that was come upon him, they came every 
 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 every one his mantle, and 
 "sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven. 
 
 13 So they sat down with him upon the ground 
 r seven days and seven nights, and none spake a 
 word unto him: for they saw that his grief was 
 very great. 
 
 CHAP. III. 
 
 Job curseth the day and services of his birth. 
 
 AFTER this opened Job his mouth, and cursed 
 his day. 
 
 2 And Job f spake, 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 upon it.

 21 Which f'long for death, but it cometh not; 
 and dig for it more than '"for hid treasures; 
 
 22 Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad,

 Eliphaz reprovelh Job for want of religion. 
 
 THEN Eliphaz the Temanite answered and 
 said, 
 
 2 If Ave assay f to commune with thee, wilt thou 
 be grieved? but fwho can withhold himself from 
 speaking ? 
 
 3 Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou 
 "hast strengthened the weak hands. 
 
 4 Thy words have upholden him that was fall- 
 ing, and thou 4 hast strengthened fthe feeble knees. 
 
 5 But now it is come upon thee, and thou faint- 
 est ; it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled. 
 
 6 Is not this c thy fear, d thy confidence, thy hope, 
 and the uprightness of thy ways ? 
 
 7 Remember, I pray thee, 'who ever perished, be- 
 ing innocent? or wnere were the righteous c^t off?

 EUpkazs fearful vision. 
 
 9 By the blast of God they perish, .and || by the 
 breath of his nostrils are they consumed. 
 
 10 The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the 
 fierce lion, and t 'the teeth of the young lions, are broken. 
 
 11 *The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, and 
 the stout lion's whelps are scattered abroad. 
 
 12 Now a thing was f secretly brought to me, 
 and mine ear received a little thereof. 
 
 13 'In thoughts from the visions of the 
 when deep sleep falleth on men, 
 
 14 Fear fcame upon me, and * trembling, which 
 made f all m y bones to shake. 
 
 15 Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair 
 of my flesh stood up : 
 
 16 It stood still, but I could not discern the form 
 Thereof: an image was before mine eyes, || there tvas 
 silence, and I heard a voice, saying, 
 
 17 'ShaH mortal man be more just than God? 
 shall a man be more pure than his maker? 
 
 18 Behold, '"he put no trust in his servants; 
 '| and his angels he charged with folly : 
 
 19 "How much less in them that dwell in "houses 
 of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are 
 crushed before the moth? 
 
 20 /'They are f destroyed from morning to even-

 God is to be regarded in affliction.

 6 Although || affliction cometh not forth of the

 22 At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh :

 CHAP. VI. 
 
 Job sheiceth that his complaints are not causeless. 
 
 BUT Job answered and said, 
 2 Oh that my grief were thoroughly weighed, 
 and my calamity flaid 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 w r hereof drinketh up my spirit: c the ter- 
 rors of God do set themselves in array against me. 
 
 5 Doth the wild ass bray fwhen he hath grass? 
 or loweth the ox over his fodder? 
 
 6 Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without 
 salt? or is there any taste in the white of an egg? 
 
 7 The things that my soul refused to touch are 
 as my sorrowful meat. 
 
 8 Oh that I might have my request; and that 
 God would grant me f the thing that I long for ! 
 
 9 Even ''that it would please God to destroy me; 
 that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off! 
 
 10 Then should I yet have comfort; yea, I would 
 harden myself in sorrow : let him not spare ; for e I 
 have not concealed 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 f of brass ? 
 
 13 Is not my help in me? and is wisdom driven 
 quite from me ? 
 
 14 f*To him that is afflicted pity should be shelved 
 from his friend; but he forsaketh the fear of the 
 Almighty. 
 
 1 5 * My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, 
 and 'as the stream of brooks they pass away; 
 
 16 Which are blackish by reason of the ice, ana 
 wherein the snow is hid : 
 
 17 What time they wax warm, f they vanish: fwhen 
 it is hot, they are f consumed out of their place. 
 
 18 The paths of their way are turned aside; 
 they go to nothing, and perish. 
 
 19 The troops of *Tema looked, the companies 
 of 'Sheba waited for them. 
 
 20 They were m confounded because they had 
 hoped; they came thither, and were ashamed. 
 
 21 || For now "ye are f nothing; ye see my cast- 
 ing down, and "are afraid. 
 
Job shewclh his own restlessness, 
 
 CHAR Vll, VIII, iX. 
 
 22 Did I say, Bring unto me ? or, Give a reward 
 for me of your substance? 
 
 23 Or, Deliver me from the enemy's hand? or, 
 Redeem me from the hand of the mighty? 
 
 24 Teach me, and I will hold my tongue : and 
 cause me to understand wherein I have erred. 
 
 25 How forcible are right words ! but what doth 
 your arguing reprove ? 
 
 26 Do ye imagine to reprove words, and the 
 speeches or one that is desperate, which are as wind ? 
 
 27 Yea, fye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye 
 'dig a pit for your friend. 
 
 28 Now therefore be content, look upon me; for 
 it is f evident unto you if 1 lie. 
 
 29 'Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; 
 yea, return again, my righteousness is || in it. 
 
 30 Is there iniquity in my tongue? cannot f m y 
 taste discern perverse things ? 
 
 CHAP. VII. 
 
 Job excuseth his desire of death. 
 
 FS there not || "an appointed time to man upon earth ? 
 are not his days also like the days of an hireling? 
 
 2 As a servant fearnestly desireth the shadow, and 
 as an hireling looketh for the reivard of his work : 
 
 3 So am I made to possess 6 months of vanity, and 
 wearisome nights are appointed to me. 
 
 4 'When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, 
 and f the night be gone ? and I am full of 
 to and fro unto the dawning of the day. 
 
 5 My flesh is ''clothed with worms and clods of 
 dust; my skin is broken, and become loathsome. 
 
 6 'My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, 
 and are spent without hope. 
 
 ', remember that Any life is wind : mine eye 
 t shall no more || see good. 
 
 8 g The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me 
 no more': thine eyes are upon me, and || I am not. 
 
 tossings 
 
 9 As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away 
 so A he that goeth down to the grave shall come up 
 no more. 
 
 10 He shall return no more to his house, 'neither 
 ehall his place know him any more. 
 
 11 Therefore I will fc not refrain my mouth; I will 
 speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will 'complain 
 iu the bitterness of my soul. 
 
 12 Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a 
 watch over me? 
 
 13 "'When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my 
 couch shall ease my complaint; 
 
 14 Then thou scarest me with dreams, and tern- 
 nest me through visions : 
 
 15 So that my soul chooseth strangling, and death 
 rather f than my life. 
 
 16 "I loath it; I would not live alway: "let me 
 alone; /'for my days are vanity. 
 
 17 'What is man, that thou shouldest magnify him ? 
 and that thou shouldest set thine heart upon him? 
 
 18 And that thou shouldest visit him every 
 morning, and try him every moment? 
 
 19 How lono- wilt thou not depart from me, nor 
 let me alone till I swallow down my spittle ? 
 
 20 I have sinned; what shall I do unto thee, '0 
 Jiou preserver of men? why 'hast thou set me as a 
 mark against thee, so that I am a burden to myself? 
 
 21 And why dost thou not pardon my trans- 
 gression, and take away mine iniquity? for now 
 shall I sleep in the dust; and thou shalt seek me 
 in the morning, but I shall not be.

 God pervert judgment? or doth the

 4 If 'thy children have sinned against him, and

 5 'If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and 
 make thy supplication to the Almighty; 
 
 6 If thou ivert pure and upright, surely now he 
 would awake for thee, and make the habitation of 
 thy righteousness prosperous. 
 
 7 Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter 
 end should greatly increase. 
 
 8 ''For inquire, I pray thee, of the former age, 
 and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers :

 17 His roots are wrapped about the heap, and 
 seeth the place of stones.

 CHAP. IX. 
 
 Man's innocency is not to be condemned by afflictions. 
 
 T^HEN Job answered and said, 
 2 I know it is so of a truth; 
 "man be just ||with God? 
 
 3 If he will contend with him, he cannot answer 
 him one of a thousand. 
 
 4 b He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength! 
 who hath hardened himself against him, and hath 
 prospered ? 
 
 5 Which removeth the mountains, and they know 
 not: which overturneth them in his anger; 
 
 6 Which 'shaketh the earth out of her place, 
 and ''the pillars thereof tremble; 
 
 7 Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; 
 and sealeth up the stars; 
 
 8 'Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and 
 treadeth upon the f waves of the sea ; 
 
 9 •'"Which maketh fArcturus, Orion, and rieiades, 
 and the chambers of the south : 
 
 341 
 
 but how should 
 
!Sio contending with God 
 
 10 'Which doeth great things past finding out; 
 yea, and wonders without number. 
 
 11 A Lo, he goeth by me, and 1 see him not : he 
 passeth on also, but I perceive him not. 
 
 12 'Behold, he taketh away, fwho can hinder 
 him ? who will say unto him, What doest thou ? 
 
 13 If God will not withdraw his anger, *the 
 \ proud helpers do stoop under him. 
 
 14 How much less shall I answer him, and 
 choose out my words to reason with him ? 
 
 15 'Whom, though I were righteous, pet would I 
 not answer, but I would make supplication to my 
 judge. 
 
 16 If I had called, and he had answered me; 
 yet would I not believe that he had hearkened unto 
 my voice. 
 
 17 For he breaketh me with a tempest, and mul- 
 tiplied my wounds ""without cause. 
 
 18 He will not suffer me to take my breath, but 
 filleth me with bitterness. 
 
 19 If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: and if 
 of judgment, Avho shall set me a time to plead? 
 
 20 If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall 
 condemn me : If I say I am perfect, it shall also 
 prove me perverse. 
 
 21 Thoxigh I were perfect, yet would I not know 
 my soul: I would despise my life. 
 
 22 This is one thing, therefore I said it, "He de- 
 otroyeth the perfect and the wicked. 
 
 23 If the scourge slay suddenly, he Avill laugh 
 &,t the trial of the innocent. 
 
 24 The earth is given into the hand of the 
 wicked : "he covereth the faces of the judges 
 thereof; if not, where, and who is he? 
 
 25 Now ''my days are swifter than a post : they 
 flee away, they see no good. 
 
 26 They are passed away as the f II swift ships : 
 7 as the eagle that hasteth to the prey. 
 
 27 r If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will 
 leave off my heaviness, and comfort myself: 
 
 28 'I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that 
 thou 'wilt not hold me innocent. 
 
 29 If I be wicked, why then labour I in vain ? 
 
 30 "If I wash myself with snow-water, and 
 make my hands never so clean ; 
 
 31 Yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch, and 
 mine own clothes shall || abhor me. 
 
 32 For x he is not a man, as I am, that I should 
 answer him, and we should come together in judg- 
 ment. 
 
 33 v Neither is there fany || days-man betwixt 
 us, that might lay his hand upon us both. 
 
 34 * Let him take his rod away from me, and let 
 not his fear terrify me : 
 
 35 Then would I speak, and not fear him; fbut 
 it is not so with me. 
 
 CHAP. X. 
 
 Job expos iulateth with God about his afflictions. 
 
 MY "soul is || weary of my life; I will leave my 
 complaint upon myself; b I will speak in the 
 bitterness of my soul. 
 
 2 I will say unto God, Do not condemn me ; 
 shew me wherefore thou contendest with me. 
 
 3 fs it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, 
 /hat thou shouldest despise fthe work of thine 
 hands, and shine upon the counsel 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

 6 That thou inquirest after mine iniquity, and 
 searchest after my sin ? 
 
 7 t' y Thou knowest that I am not wicked; and 
 there is none that can deliver out of thine hanu. 
 
 8 e Thine hands fhave made me and fashioned m* 
 together round about; yet thou dost destroy me. 
 
 9 Remember, I beseech thee, that >' thou hast made 
 me as the clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust 
 
 again ? 
 
 10 A 'Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and 
 curdled me like cheese? 
 
 11 Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, 
 and hast f fenced me with bones and sinews. 
 
 12 Thou hast granted me life and favour, ami 
 thy visitation hath preserved my spirit. 
 
 13 And these things hast thou hid 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 unto me; *and if I be 
 righteous, yet will I not lift up my head. I am full 
 of confusion ; therefore ' see thou mine affliction ; 
 
 16 For it increaseth. "'Thou huntest me as a 
 fierce lion: and again thou shewest thyself marvel- 
 lous upon me. 
 
 17 Thou renewest || thy witnesses against me, 
 and increasest thine indignation upon me; changes 
 and war are against me. 
 
 18 "Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth 
 out of the womb ? Oh that I had given up the ghost, 
 and no eye had seen me ! 
 
 19 I should have been as though I had not been ; 
 I should have been carried from the womb to the 
 grave. 
 
 20 "Are not my days few? ^cease then, 'and 5 let 
 me alone, that I may take comfort a little,

 22 A land of darkness, as darkness itself ; and 
 of the shadow of death, without any order, and 
 where the light is as darkness.

 J- said, 
 
 2 Should not the multitude of words be answered'/ 
 and should f a man full of talk be justified ? 
 
 3 Should thy || lies 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 thine eyes. 
 
 5 But Oh that God would speak, and open his 
 lips against thee ; 
 
 6 And that he would shew thee the secrets of 
 wisdom, that they are double io that which is ! Know 
 therefore that * God exacteth of thee less than thine 
 iniquity deserveth. 
 
 7 c Canst thou by searching find out God? canst 
 thou find out the Almighty unto perfection? 
 
 8 It is fas high as heaven; what canst thou do? 
 deeper than hell ; what canst thou know ? 
 
 9 The measure thereof is longer than the earth, 
 and broader than the sea.

 and *let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.

 remember it as waters that pass away ; 
 
 17 And thine age f "shall be clearer than the noon-

 18 And thou shalt be secure, because there is

 19 Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make

 Job mainlaineth himself against his friends.

 2 No doubt but ye are the people, and wis-

 3 But " I have f understanding as well as you ; f I 
 am not inferior to you: yea, fwho knoweth not 
 such things as these f 
 
 4 *I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who 
 'calleth upon God, and he answereth him: the just 
 upright man is laughed to scorn. 
 
 5 rf He that is ready to slip with his feet is as a 
 lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease. 
 
 6 e The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they 
 that provoke God are secure ; into whose hand God 
 bringeth abundantly. 
 
 7 But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach 
 thee ; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell 
 thee : 
 
 8 Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee ; 
 and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee. 
 
 9 Who knoweth not in all these that the hand 
 of the Lokd hath wrought this ? 
 
 10 'In whose hand is the || soul of ever}' - living 
 thing, and the breath of fall mankind. 
 
 11 * Doth not the ear try words ? and the f mouth 
 taste his meat ? 
 
 12 "With the ancient is wisdom ; and in length 
 of days understanding. 
 
 13 l| With him is wisdom and strength, he hath 
 counsel and understanding. 
 
 14 Behold, *he breaketh down, and it cannot be 
 built again : he ' shutteth f up a man, and there can 
 be no opening. 
 
 15 Behold, he m withholdeth the waters, and they 
 dry up : also he " sendeth them out, and they over- 
 turn trie earth. 
 
 16 • With him is strength and wisdom : the de- 
 ceived and the deceiver are his. 
 
 17 He leadeth counsellors away spoiled, and 
 'maketh the judges fools. 
 
 18 He looseth the bond of kings, and girdeth 
 their loins with a girdle. 
 
 19 He leadeth princes away spoiled, and over- 
 l.hroweth the mighty.

 8 Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for

 9 Is it good that he should search you out? or as

 17 Hear diligently my speech, and my declarar 
 tion with your ears. 
 
 18 Behold, now, I have ordered my cause; 1 
 know that 1 shall be justified. 
 
 19 A Who is he that will plead with me? for now,

 21 '"Withdraw thine hand far from me: and let

 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 to know my transgression and my sin. 
 
 24 "Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and "holdeet 
 me for thine enemy? 
 
 25 ''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 iniquities of my voutii.

 garment that is moth-eaten. 
 
 CHAP. XIV. 
 
 Job entrcateth God for favour, by the shortness of life. 
 
 MAN that is born of a woman is t of few days, 
 and "full of trouble. 
 
 2 ft He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down : 
 ne fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not. 
 
 3 And c dost thou open thine eyes upon such an 
 one, and rf bringest me into judgment with thee? 
 
 4 fWho 'can bring a clean thing out of an un- 
 clean? not one. 
 
 5 •'"Seeing his days are determined, the number 
 of his months are with thee, thou hast appointed 
 his bounds that he cannot pass ; 
 
 6 *Turn from him, that he may t rest, till he 
 shall accomplish, A as an hireling, his day. 
 
 7 For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, 
 1 that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch 
 thereof will not cease. 
 
 8 Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, 
 and the stock 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 fwasteth away: yea, 
 man giveth up the ghost, and where is he 2 
 
 11 As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood 
 decayeth and drieth up: 
 
 12 So man lieth down, and riseth not: * till the 
 heavens be no moie, they shall not awake, nor be 
 raised out of their sleep. 
 
 13 that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, 
 that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath 
 oe 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 appointed time 'will I wait m till my change come. 
 
 15 "Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee : thou 
 wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands. 
 
 16 "For now thou numberest my steps : dost thou 
 not watch over my sin? 
 
 17 /"My transgression is sealed up in a basr. and 
 thou sewest up mine iniquity. 
 
 18 And surely the mountain falling f cometh to 
 nought, and the rock is removed out of his place. 
 
 19 The waters wear the stones: thou fwashest 
 away the things which grow out of the dust of the 
 earth; and thou destroyest the hope of man. 
 
 20 Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he 
 passeth : thou changest his countenance, and sendest 
 him away. 
 
 21 His sons come to honour, and ? he knoweth it 
 not; and they are brought low, but he perceiveth it 
 not of them. 
 
 22 But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and 
 his soul within him shall mourn.

 Eliphaz reprovelh Job's impiety in justifying himself. 
 
 fPHEN answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said, 
 A 2 Should a wise man utter t vain knowledge, 
 and fill his belly with the east wind ? 
 
 3 Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or 
 with speeches wherewith he can do no good? 
 
 ■I lea, fthou castest off fear, and restrainest

 5 For thy mouth futtereth thine iniquity, and 
 thou choosest the tongue of the crafty. 
 
 6 "Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and no! 
 I : yea, thine own lips testify against thee. 
 
 7 Art thou the first man that was born? *or wasi 
 thou made before the hills ? 
 
 8 c Hast thou heard the secret of God? and dost 
 thou restrain wisdom to thyself? 
 
 9 d What knowest thou that Ave know not? what 
 understandest thou, which is not in us? 
 
 10 'With us are both the gray -headed and very 
 aged men, much elder than thy father. 
 
 11 Are the consolations of God small with thee'' 
 is there any secret thing with thee? 
 
 12 Why doth thine heart carry thee away? and 
 what do thine eyes wink at, 
 
 13 That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and 
 lettest such words go out of thy mouth ? 
 
 14 •''What is man, that he should be clean? and he 
 which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous ? 
 
 15 ^Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; 
 yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight. 
 
 16 ''How much more abominable and filthy is 
 man, * which drinketh iniquity like water? 
 
 17 I will shew thee, hear me; and that which 1 
 have seen, I will declare; 
 
 18 Which wise men have told *from their fathers, 
 and have not hid it: 
 
 19 Unto whom alone the earth was given, and 'no 
 stranger passed among them. 
 
 20 The wicked man travaileth with pain all his 
 days, m and the number of years is hidden to the 
 oppressor. 
 
 21 f A dreadful sound is in his ears : " in pros^ 
 perity the destroyer shall come upon him. 
 
 22 He believeth not that he shall return out of 
 darkness, and he is waited for of the sword. 
 
 23 He "wandereth abroad for bread, saying, Where 
 is it? he knoweth that ''the day of darkness is ready 
 at his hand. 
 
 24 Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they 
 shall prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle. 
 
 25 For he stretcheth out his hand against God, 
 and strengtheneth himself against the Almighty. 
 
 26 He runneth upon him, even on his neck, upon 
 the thick bosses of his bucklers : 
 
 27 '' Because he covereth his' face with his fatness, 
 and maketh collops of fat on his flanks. 
 
 28 And he dwelleth in desolate cities, and in 
 houses which no man inhabiteth, which are ready 
 to become heaps. 
 
 29 He shall not be rich, neither shall his sub- 
 stance continue, neither shall he prolong the per- 
 fection thereof upon the earth. 
 
 30 He shall not depart out of darkness ; the flame 
 shall dry up his branches, and 'by the breath of his 
 mouth shall he go away. 
 
 31 Let not him that is deceived 
 for vanity shall be his recompense. 
 
 32 It shall be || accomplished 
 and his branch shall not be green. 
 
 33 He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, 
 and shall cast off his flower as the olive. 
 
 34 For the congregation of hypocrites shall be 
 desolate, and fire snail consume the tabernacles of 
 bribery. 
 
 35 "They conceive mischief, and bring forth 
 || vanity, and their belly prepareih deceit. 
 
 'trust in vanity: 
 before his time, 
 
Job maintaincth his innocence. 
 
 CHAP. XVI 
 
 Job mainlaineth his innocence. 
 
 rpiIEN Job answered and said, 
 J- 2 I have heard many such things : ||" miserable 
 comforters are ye all. 
 
 3 Shall f vain words have an end ? or what em- 
 boldeneth thee that thou answerest? 
 
 4 I also could speak as ye do: if your soul were 
 in my soul's stead, I could heap up words against 
 you, and 'shake my head at you. 
 
 5 But I would strengthen you with my month, 
 and the moving of my lips should assuage your 
 grief. 
 
 6 Though I speak, my grief is not assuaged: and 
 though I forbear, f what am I 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 
 is a witness against me: and my leanness rising up 
 in me beareth witness to my face. 
 
 9 c He teareth me in his wrath, who hateth me: 
 he gnasheth upon me with his teeth; ''mine enemy 
 sharpeneth his eyes upon me. 
 
 10 They have "gaped upon me with their mouth; 
 they ^have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully; 
 they have ? gathered themselves together against me. 
 
 11 God ''fhath delivered me to the ungodly, and 
 turned me over into the hands of the wicked. 
 
 12 1 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 compass me round about, he cleav- 
 eth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; he pour- 
 jth out my gall upon the ground. 
 
 14 He breaketh me with breach upon breach, he 
 runneth upon me like a giant. 
 
 15 I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and 
 defiled my horn in the dust. 
 
 16 My face is foul with weeping, and on mine 
 syelids is the shadow of death ; 
 
 17 Not for any injustice in mine hands: also my 
 orayer is pure. 
 
 18 earth, cover not thou my blood, and 'let my 
 ?ry have no place. 
 
 19 Also now, behold, m my Avitness is in heaven, 
 arid my record is on f high. 
 
 20 My friends f scorn me : but mine eye poureth 
 out tears unto God. 
 
 21 "0 that one might plead for a man with God, 
 as a man pleadeth for his || neighbour ! 
 
 22 When fa few years are come, then I shall 
 go the way whence I shall not return.

 Job appealeth from men to God. 
 
 MY || breath is corrupt, my days are extinct,

 mine eye f continue in their ''provocation? 
 
 3 Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee : 
 who is he that c will strike hands with me? 
 
 4 For thou hast hid their heart from understand- 
 therefore shalt thou not exalt them. 
 He that speaketh flattery to his friends, even 
 
 the eyes of his children shall fail. 
 
 6 He hath made me also ''a by-word of the" peo- 
 ple^: and || aforetime I was as a ta'bret.

 4 *He teareth f himself in his anger: shall the 
 earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be 
 removed out of his place? 
 
 5 Yea, c the light of the wicked shall be put out, 
 and the spark of his fire shall not shine. 
 
 6 The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, rf and

 7 The steps of his strength shall be straitened, 
 and e his own counsel shall cast him down. 
 
 8 For •''he is cast into a net by his own feet, and

 10 The snare is t laid for him in the ground, an J

 14 *His confidence shall be rooted out of his taber

 habitation.

 3 These " ten times have ye reproached me : ye are

 4 And be it indeed that I have erred, mine error 
 remaineth with myself. 
 
 5 If indeed ye will * magnify yourselves against 
 me, and plead against me my reproach : 
 
 6 Know now that God hath overthrown me, and 
 hath compassed me with his net. 
 
 7 Behold, I cry out of || wrong, but I am not 
 heard : I cry aloud, but there is no judgment. 
 
 8 c He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, 
 and he hath set darkness in my paths. 
 
 9 ''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 mine hope hath he removed like a tree. 
 
 11 lie hath also kindled his wrath against me, 
 and "he counteth me unto him as one of his enemies. 
 
 1 2 His troops come together, and Praise up their way 
 against me, and encamp round about my tabernacle. 
 
 13 ff He hath put my brethren far from me, and 
 mine acquaintance are verily estranged from me. 
 
 14 My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar 
 friends have forgotten me. 
 
 15 They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, 
 count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight. 
 
 16 I called my servant, and he gave me no 
 answer; I entreated him with my mouth. 
 
 17 My breath is strange to my wife, though I 
 entreated for the children's sake of fmine own body. 
 
 18 Yea, || "young children despised me; I arose, 
 and they spake against me. 
 
 19 'All f m y inward friends abhorred me: and 
 they whom I loved are turned against me. 
 
 20 *My bone cleaveth to my skin Hand to my 
 Qesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth. 
 
 21 Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, ye 
 my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me. 
 
 22 Why do ye '"persecute me as God, and are 
 not satisfied with my flesh ? 
 
 23 f that my words were now written ! that 
 the}'' were printed in a book ! 
 
 24 That they were graven with an iron pen and 
 lead in the rock for ever! 
 
 25 For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that 
 he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth : 
 
 26 || And though after my 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 not f another; || though my reins 
 be consumed f within me. 
 
 28 But ye should say, "Why persecute we him, 
 II seeing the root of the matter is found in me ? 
 
 29 Be ve afraid of the sword : for wrath bringeth 
 the punisnmwnts ot* the sword, f that ye may know 
 there is a judgment.

 Lite portion of the wicked 
 
 6 * Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, 
 and his head reach unto the f clouds; 
 
 7 Yet he shall perish for ever c like his own dung 
 they which have seen him shall say, Where is he? 
 
 8 He shall fly away rf as a dream, and shall not 
 be found : yea, he shall be chased away as a vision 
 of the night. 
 
 9 'The eye also which saw him shall see him no 
 nore; neither shall his place any more behold him. 
 
 10 || His children shall seek to please the poor, 
 and his hands •'"shall restore their goods. 
 
 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 f within his mouth : 
 
 14 Yet his meat in his bowels is turned, it is the 
 gall of asps within him. 
 
 15 He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall 
 vomit them up again : God shall cast them out of 
 his belly. 
 
 16 He shall suck the poison of asps : the viper's 
 tongue shall slay him. 
 
 17 He shall not see 'the rivers, || the floods, the 
 brooks of honey and butter. 
 
 18 That which he laboured for A shall he restore, 
 and shall not swallow it down: f according to his 
 substance shall the restitution be, and he shall n. 
 rejoice therein. 
 
 19 Because he hath f oppressed and hath for- 
 saken the poor; because he hath violently taken 
 away an house which he builded not; 
 
 20 'Surely he shall not ffeel quietness in his 
 belly, he shall not save of that which he .desired. 
 
 21 || There shall none of his meat be left; there- 
 fore shall no man look for his goods. 
 
 22 In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be 
 i straits : every hand of the || wicked 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 steel shall strike him through. 
 
 25 It is drawn, and cometh out of the body; 
 yea, " the glittering sword cometh out of his gall : 
 /'terrors are upon him. 
 
 26 All darkness shall be hid in his secret places : 
 'a fire not blown shall consume him : it shall go ill 
 with him that is left in his tabernacle. 
 
 27 The heaven shall reveal his iniquity; and the 
 earth shall rise up against him. 
 
 28 The increase of his house shall depart, and 
 his goods shall flow away in the day of his wrath. 
 
 2"9 r This is the portion of a wicked man from God, 
 and the heritage f appointed unto him by God.

TJic destruction of the wicked. C II 
 
 G Even when I remember I am afraid, and trem- 
 bling taketh hold on my flesh. 
 
 7 'Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, 
 yea, are mighty in power? 
 
 8 Their seed is established in their sight with 
 them, and their offspring before their eyes. 
 
 9 Their houses t are safe from fear, ''neither is the 
 rod of God upon them. 
 
 10 Their bull gendereth, and faileth not: their 
 cww 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 timbrel 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 grave. 
 
 14 s Therefore they say unto God, Depart from 
 us ; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways. 
 
 15 ''What is the Almighty, that we should serve 
 him? and 'what profit should we have, if we pray 
 unto him? 
 
 16 Lo, their good is not in their hand: *the coun- 
 sel of the wicked is far from me. 
 
 17 'How oft is the || candle of the wicked put 
 out? and how oft cometh their destruction upon 
 them? God '"distributeth sorrows in his anger. 
 
 18 "They are as stubble before the wind, and as 
 chaff that the storm f carrieth away. 
 
 19 God layeth up || his iniquity "for bis children : 
 he rewardeth him, and he shall know it. 
 
 20 His eyes shall see his destruction, and ^he 
 shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty. 
 
 21 For what pleasure hath he in his house after 
 him, when the number of his months is cut off in 
 the midst? 
 
 22 q Shall any teach God knowledge ? seeing he 
 judgeth those that are high. 
 
 23 One dieth f in his full strength, being wholly 
 at ease and quiet. 
 
 24 His || breasts are full of milk, and his bones 
 are moistened with marrow. 
 
 25 And another dieth in the bitterness of his soul, 
 and never eateth with pleasure. 
 
 26 They shall 'lie down alike in the dust, and 
 the worms shall cover them. 
 
 27 Behold, I know your thoughts, and the de- 
 vices which ye wrongfully imagine against me. 
 
 28 For ye say, 'Where is the house of the prince? 
 and where are fthe dwelling-places of the wicked? 
 
 29 Have ye not asked them that go by the way ? 
 and do ye not know their tokens, 
 
 30 'That the wicked is reserved to the day of 
 destruction? they shall be brought forth to fthe 
 day of wrath. 
 
 31 Who shall declare his way "to his face? and 
 who shall repay him what he hath done ? 
 
 32 Yet shall he be brought to the f grave, and 
 shall f remain in the tomb. 
 
 33 The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto 
 him. and x every man shall draw after him, as there 
 are innumerable before him. 
 
 34 How then comfort ye me in vain, seeing in 
 your answers there remaineth f falsehood ?

 Job exhorted to refxfflt. 
 
 3 Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou 
 art righteous? or is it gain to him, that thou makesl 
 thy ways perfect? 
 
 4 Will he reprove thee for fear of thee? will he 
 enter with thee into judgment? 
 
 5 Is not thy wickedness great? and thine iniqui 
 ties infinite? 
 
 6 For thou hast 'taken a pledge from thy brother 
 for nought, and f stripped the naked of their clothing. 
 
 7 Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, 
 and thou 'hast withholden bread from the hungry. 
 
 8 But as for fthe mighty man, he had the earth; 
 and the f honourable man dwelt in it. 
 
 9 Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the 
 arms of ''the fatherless have been broken. 
 
 10 Therefore 'snares are round about thee, arid 
 sudden fear troubleth thee ; 
 
 11 Or darkness, that thou canst not see; and 
 abundance of J waters cover thee. 
 
 12 Is not God in the height of heaven? and be- 
 hold fthe height of the stars, how high they are! 
 
 13 And thou say est, IK How doth God know? 
 can he judge through the dark cloud ? 
 
 14 ''Thick clouds are a covering to him, that ha 
 seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven. 
 
 15 Hast thou marked the old way which wicked 
 men have trodden ? 
 
 16 Which 'were cut down out of time, f whose 
 foundation was overflown with a flood : 
 
 17 * Which said unto God, Depart from us: and 
 'what can the Almighty do || for them? 
 
 18 Yet he filled their houses with good things 
 but "'the counsel of the wicked is far from me. 
 
 19 "The righteous see it and are glad: and the 
 innocent laugh them to scorn. 
 
 20 Whereas our || substance is not cut down, but 
 || the remnant of them the fire consumeth. 
 
 21 Acquaint now thyself || with him, and "be at 
 peace : thereby good shall come unto thee. 
 
 22 Receive, 1 pray thee, the law from his mouth, 
 and ''lay up his words in thine heart. 
 
 23 9 If thou return to theAlmighty,thou shaltbebuilt 
 up,thou shaft put awayini qui tyfarfrom thy tabernacles. 
 
 24 Then shalt thou 'lay up gold || as dust, and 
 the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks. 
 
 25 Yea, the Almighty shall be thy || defence, and 
 thou shalt have t plenty of silver. 
 
 26 For then shalt thou have thy 'delight in the 
 Almighty, and 'shalt lift up thy face unto God. 
 
 27 "Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and 
 he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows. 
 
 28 Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be 
 established unto thee : and the light shall shine 
 upon thy ways. 
 
 29 When men are cast down, then thou shalt saj', 
 There is lifting up; and ^he shall save the f humble

 and it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands.

 God, who is invisible, observelh our ways. 
 
 THEN Job answered and said, 
 2 Even to-day is my complaint bitter: fmy 
 stroke is heavier than my groaning. 
 
 3 " Oh that I knew wh< 
 I might come even to his seat ! 
 
 4 I would order my cause before him, and fill my 
 mouth with arguments. 
 
 347 
 
 3 I might find him ! thai 
 
Sin often gocth unpunished. 
 
 6 I would know the words which he would an- 
 swer me, and understand what he would say unto 
 me. 
 
 MVill he plead against me with his great power? 
 No; hut he would put strength in me. 
 
 7 There the righteous might dispute with him; 
 •o should I he delivered for ever from my judge. 
 
 8 r Behold, I go forward, but_ he is not there; 
 and backward, but I cannot perceive him: 
 
 9 On the left hand, where he doth work, but I 
 .annot behold him: he hideth himself on the right 
 hand, that 1 cannot see him: 
 
 10 But he "knoweth fthe way that I take: when 
 he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. 
 
 11 -/'My foot hath held his steps, his way have I 
 kept, and not declined. 
 
 12 Neither have I gone back from the command- 
 ment of his lips; f* I nave esteemed the words of 
 bis mouth more than || my necessary food. 
 
 13 But he is in one mind, and ''who can turn him? 
 and what 'his soul desireth, even that he doeth._ 
 
 14 For he performeth the thing that is ^appointed 
 for me: and many such things are with him. 
 
 15 Therefore am I troubled at his presence : when 
 I consider, I am afraid of him. 
 
 16 For God 'maketh my heart soft, and the Al- 
 mighty troubleth me : 
 
 17 Because I was not cut off before the darkness,

 Almighty, do they that know him not see his 
 
 "2 Some remove the 'landmarks; they violently 
 take away flocks, and || feed thereof. 
 
 3 They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they 
 'take the widow's ox for a p'edge. 
 
 4 They turn the needy out of the way: ''the poor 
 of the earth hide themselves together. 
 
 5 Behold, as wild asses in the desert, go they forth 
 to their work ; rising betimes for a prey : the wilder- 
 net 5 i/ieldeth food for them and for their children. 
 
 6 They reap evert/ one his f corn in the field : and 
 f they gather the vintage of the wicked. 
 
 7 They 'cause the naked to lodge without clothing, 
 that they have no covering in the cold. 
 
 8 They are wet with the showers of the moun- 
 tains, 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 hungiw ; 
 
 11 Which make oil within their walls, and tread 
 their wine-presses, and suffer thirst. 
 
 12 Men groan from out of the city, and the soul 
 ol the wounded crieth out : yet God layeth not folly 
 to them. 
 
 13 They are of those that rebel against the light; 
 they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the 
 paths thereof. 
 
 14 *The murderer rising with the light killeth 
 the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief. 
 
 15 A The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the 
 twilight, 'saying, No eye shall see me: and fdis- 
 guiseth his face.

 they had marked for themselves in the day-time, 
 they v 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 portion is 
 cursed in the earth: he beholdeth not the way of 
 the vineyards. 
 
 19 Drought and heat f consume the snow-waters'. 
 so doth the grave those which have sinned. 
 
 20 The womb shall forget him ; the worm shall 
 feed sweetly on him; 'he shall be no more remem- 
 bered ; and wickedness shall be broken as a tree. 
 
 21 He evil-entreateth the barren that beareth 
 not : and doeth not good to the widow. 
 
 22 He draweth also the mighty with his power: 
 he riseth up, || and no man is sure of life. 
 
 23 Though it be given him to be in safety, whereon 
 he resteth; yet '"his eyes are upon their ways 
 
 24 They are exalted for a little while, but fare 
 gone and brought low ; they are f taken out of the way 
 as all other, and cut off as the tops of the ears of corn. 
 
 25 And if it be not so now, who will make me a 
 liar, and make my speech nothing worth? 
 
 CHAP. XXV. 
 
 Bildad shewelh that man cannot be justified before God. 
 
 THEN answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said, 
 2 Dominion and fear are with bim, 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 that is born of a woman ? 
 
 5 Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; 
 yea, the stars are not pure in his sight. 
 
 6 How much less man, that is c a worm; and the 
 son of man which is a worm ? 
 
 CHAP. XXVI. 
 
 Job re.provelh the uncharitable spirit of Bildad. 
 
 BUT Job answered and said, 
 2 How hast thou helped him thai 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 
 the thing as it is ? 
 
 4 To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose 
 spirit came from thee? 
 
 5 Dead things are formed from under the waters, 
 || and the inhabitants thereof. 
 
 6 " Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath 
 no covering. 
 
 7 4 He stretcheth out the north over the empty 
 place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing. 
 
 8 c He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; 
 and the cloud is not rent under them. 
 
 9 He holdeth back the face of his throne, and 
 spreadeth his cloud upon it. 
 
 10 ''He hath compassed the waters with bounds. 
 | until the day and night come to an end. 
 
 11 The pillars of heaven tremble, and are asto- 
 nished at his reproof. 
 
 12 e He divideth the sea with his power, and by 
 his understanding he smiteth through fthe proud. 
 
 13 / By his Spirit he hath garnished the heavens; 
 his hand hath formed g the crooked serpent. 
 
 14 Lo, these are parts of his ways ; . but how 
 little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder 
 of his power who can understand? 
 
The hypocrite is without hope. 
 
 CHAP XXV11. 
 
 The blessings which the wicked have are turned into curses. 
 
 MOREOVER, Job t continued his parable, and 
 said, 
 
 2 As God liveth, "who hath taken away my judg- 
 ment; and the Almighty, tvho hath f vexed my soul, 
 
 3 All the while my breath is in me, and || the 
 spirit of God is in my nostrils; 
 
 4 My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my 
 tongue utter deceit. 
 
 5 God forbid that I should justify you : till I die 
 'I will not remove mine integrity from me. 
 
 6 My righteousness I c hold fast, and will not let 
 it go: d my heart shall not reproach me fso long as 
 I live. 
 
 7 Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that 
 riseth up against me as the unrighteous. 
 
 8 "Forwnatzsthe hope of the hypocrite, though he 
 hath gained, when God taketh away his soul? 
 
 9 /Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh 
 upon him? 
 
 10 *Will he delight himself in the Almighty? 
 will he always call upon God ? 
 
 11 I will teach you || by the hand of God : that 
 which is with the Almighty will I not conceal. 
 
 12 Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; why 
 then are ye thus altogether vain? 
 
 13 A This is the portion of a wicked man with 
 God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they 
 shall receive of the Almighty. 
 
 14 'If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword : 
 and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread. 
 
 15 Those that remain of him shall be buried in 
 death: and *his widows shall not weep. 
 
 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 as a moth, and m as a 
 booth that the keeper maketh. 
 
 19 The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not 
 he gathered : he openeth his eyes, and he is not. 
 
 20 "Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tem- 
 pest stealeth him away in the night. 
 
 21 The east wind carrieth him away, and he de- 
 parteth : and as a storm harleth him out of his place. 
 
 22 For God shall cast upon him, and not spare : 
 1" he would fain flee out of his hand. 
 
 23 Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall 
 hiss him out of his place. 
 
 CHAP. XXVIIL 
 
 There is a knowledge of natural things. 
 
 SURELY there is || a vein for the silver, and a 
 place for gold where they fine it. 
 1 Iron is taken out of the || earth, and brass is 
 molten out of the stone. 
 
 3 He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth 
 out all perfection : the stones of darkness, and the 
 shadow of death. 
 
 4 The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant; 
 even the waters forgotten of the foot : they are dried 
 up; they are gone away from men. 
 
 5 As for 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 sapphires: 
 and it hath || dust of gold. 
 
 7 There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and 
 which the vulture's eye hath not seen :

 9 He puttcth forth his hand upon the llrock; he

 10 He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and 
 his eye seeth every precious thing. 
 
 11 He bindeth the floods ffrom overflowing; and

 12 "But where shall wisdom be found? and whero

 Job bemoanelh himself of his former prosperity. 
 
 MOREOVER, Job f continued his parable, and 
 said, 
 
 2 Oh that I were a as in months past, as in the 
 days when God preserved me; 
 
 3 'When his || candle shined upon my head, and 
 when by his light I walked through darkness ; 
 
 4 As I was in the days of my youth, when ' the 
 secret of God was upon my tabernacle; 
 
 5 When the Almighty was yet with me, when 
 my children were about me; 
 
 6 When d I washed my steps with butter, and c the 
 rock poured f me 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 themselves . 
 and the aged arose, and stood up. 
 
 9 The princes refrained talking, and laid their 
 hand on their mouth. 
 
 10 | The nobles held their peace, and their ^'tonguo 
 cleaved to the roof of their mouth. 
 
 11 When the ear heard me, then it blessed 
 and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to 
 
 me: 
 me; 
 
 819 
 
Job bcmoandh his prosperity 
 
 12 Because A I delivered the poor that cried, and 
 the fatherless, and him that 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. 
 
 11 '1 put on righteousness, and it clothed me: 
 my judgment was as a robe and a diadem. 
 
 15 I was fc eyes to the blind, and feet was I to 
 the lame. 
 
 1G I was a father to the poor: and 'the cause 
 which I knew not I searched out. 
 
 17 And I brake '"fthe jaws of the wicked, and 
 t plucked the spoil 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 f spread out ''by the- waters, and 
 the dew lay all night upon my branch. 
 
 20 My glory was f fresh in me, and ? my bow 
 was f renewed in my hand. 
 
 21 Unto me men gave ear, and waited, and kept 
 silence at my counsel. 
 
 22 After my words they spake 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 r the latter rain. 
 
 24 If I laughed on them, they believed it not; 
 and the light of my countenance they cast not down. 
 
 25 1 chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt 
 in the army, as one that comfortcth the

 Job's honour is turned into extreme contempt. 
 
 BUT now they that 'are f younger than I have me 
 in derision, whose fathers I would have dis- 
 dained to have set with the dogs o; my flock. 
 
 2 Yea, whereto might the strength of their hands 
 profit me, in whom old age was perished? 
 
 3 For want and famine they were || solitary: fleeing 
 into the wilderness fin former time desolate and waste. 
 
 4 Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juni- 
 per-roots for their meat. 
 
 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 f caves 
 of the earth, and in the rocks. 
 
 . 7 Among the bushes they brayed ; under the 
 nettles they were gathered together. 
 
 8 They were children of fools, yea, children of 
 fbase men : they were viler than the earth. 
 
 9 "And now am I their song, yea, I am their by- 
 word. 
 
 10 They abhor me, they flee far from me, fand 
 spare not *to spit in my face. 
 
 11 Because ne c hath loosed my cord, and afflicted 
 me, they have also let loose the bridle before me. 
 
 12 Upon my right hand rise the youth; they 
 push away my feet, and d they raise up against me 
 the ways of their destruction. 
 
 13 They mar my path, they set forward my ca- 
 lamity, they have no nelper. 
 
 14 They came upon me as a wide breaking in of 
 waters: in the desolation they rolled themselves 
 upon me. 
 
 15 Terrors are turned upon me: they pursue 
 {•my soul as the wind: and my welfare passeth 
 away as a cloud. 
 
 16 'And now my soul is poured out upon me; 
 the days of affliction have taken hold upon me

 CHAP. XXXI. 
 
 Job maheih a solemn protestation of his integrity. 
 
 I MADE a covenant with mine "eyes; why then 
 should I think upon a maid? » 
 
 2 For what * portion of God is there from above? 
 and what inheritance of the Almighty from on high V 
 
 3 Is not destruction to the wicked? and a strange 
 punishment to the workers of iniquity? 
 
 4 c Doth not he see my ways, and count all my 
 steps ? 
 
 5 If I have walked with vanity, or if my foot 
 hath hasted to deceit; 
 
 6 f Let me be weighed in an even balance, that 
 God may know mine integrity. 
 
 7 If my ^tep hath turned out of the way, 
 
 eyes, and if 
 
 and 
 anj. 
 
 another eat; yea, 
 
 "mine heart walked after mine 
 blot hath cleaved to my hands ; 
 
 8 Then e let me sow, and let 
 let mine offspring be rooted out. 
 
 9 If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, 
 or if I have laid wait at my neighbour's door; 
 
 10 Then let my wife grind unto -^ another, and let 
 others bow down upon her. 
 
 11 For this is an heinous crime; yea, *it is an 
 iniquity to be punished by the judges. 
 
 12 For it is a fire that consumeth to destruction, 
 and would root out all mine increase. 
 
 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 A God riseth up? 
 and when he visiteth, what shall I answer him? 
 
 15 'Did not he that made me in the womb make 
 him? and || did not one fashion us in the womb? 
 
 16 If I have withheld the poor from their desire, 
 or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail ; 
 
 17 Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and 
 the fatherless hath not eaten thereof; 
 
 18 (For from my youth he was brought up with 
 

 Joh professclh his integrity. CHAP 
 
 me, its zvith a father, and I have guided || her from 
 my mother's womb;) 
 
 19 If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, 
 or any poor without covering; 
 
 20 If his loins have not * blessed me, and if he 
 w^re not warmed with the fleece of my sheep; 
 
 21 If I have lifted up my hand 'against the fa- 
 therless, when I saw my help in the gate: 
 
 22 Then let mine arm fall from my shoulder- 
 olade, and mine arm be broken from || the bone. 
 
 23 For '"destruction from God was a terror to me, 
 and by reason of his highness I could not endure. 
 
 24 "If I have made gold my hope, or have said 
 to the fine gold, Thou art my confidence; 
 
 25 "If I rejoiced because my wealth was great, 
 and because mine hand had f gotten much; 
 
 26 'If 1 beheld fthe sun when it shined, or the 
 moon walking \in brightness; 
 
 27 And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or 
 tmy mouth hath kissed my hand: 
 
 28 This also ivere v an iniquity to be punished by the 
 judge : for I should have denied the God that is above. 
 
 29 ''If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that 
 hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him : 
 
 30 ('Neither have I suffered fmy mouth to sin 
 by wishing a curse to his soul.) 
 
 31 If the men of my tabernacle said not, Oh that 
 we had of his flesh ! we cannot be satisfied. 
 
 32 'The stranger did not lodge in the street: but 
 I opened my doors || to the traveller. 
 
 33 If I covered my transgressions || "as Adam, 
 by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom : 
 
 34 Did I fear a great * multitude, or did the con- 
 tempt of families terrify me, that I kept silence, 
 and went not out of the door? 
 
 35 y Oh that one would hear me! || behold, my 
 desire z is, that the Almighty would answer me, and 
 that mine adversary had written a book. 
 
 36 Surely I would take it upon my shoulder, and 
 bind it as a crown to me. 
 
 37 I would declare unto him the number of my 
 steps; as a prince would I go near unto him. 
 
 38 If my land cry against me, or that the fur- 
 rows likewise thereof f complain : 
 
 39 If "1 have eaten fthe fruits thereof without 
 money, or *have | caused the owners thereof to lose 
 their life : 
 
 40 Let 'thistles grow instead of wheat, and || cockle 
 histead of barley. The words of Job are ended. 
 
 CHAP. XXXIL 
 
 Elihu is angry with Job and hh three friends. 
 
 SO these three men ceased fto answer Job, be- 
 cause he was ° righteous in his own eyes. 
 
 2 Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son 
 of Barachel Hhe Buzite, of the kindred of Ram: 
 against Job was his wrath kindled, because he jus- 
 tified | himself rather 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 f waited till Job had spoken, 
 because they were f elder than he. 
 
 5 When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the 
 mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled. 
 
 6 And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite an- 
 swered and said, I am f young, c and ye are very 
 old ; wherefore I was afraid, and f durst not shew 
 vou mine opinion.

 Elihu reasoneth with Job 
 Days should speak, and multitude of

 8 But there is a spirit in man : and rf the inspira- 
 tion of the Almighty giveth them understanding. 
 
 9 "Great men are not always wise; neither do 
 the aged understand judgment. 
 
 10 Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will 
 shew mine opinion. 
 
 11 Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear 
 to your treasons, whilst ye searched out fwhat to say. 
 
 12 Yea, I attended unto you, and behold, thei^e 
 was none of you that convinced Job, or that an- 
 swered his words: 
 
 13 -/'Lest ye should say, We have found out wis- 
 dom: God thrusteth him down, 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: 
 t they left off speaking. 
 
 16 When I had waited, (for they spake not, but 
 stood still, and answered no more;) 
 
 17 I said, I will answer also my part, I also will 
 shew mine opinion. 
 
 18 For I am full of f matter, ~\the spirit within 
 me constraineth me. 
 
 19 Behold, my belly is as wine which fhath no 
 vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles. 
 
 20 I will speak, t that I may be refreshed : I 
 will open my lips and answer. 
 
 21 Let me not, I pray you, s accept any man's per- 
 son, neither let me give flattering titles unto man 
 
 22 For I know not to give flattering titles ; in so 
 doing my Maker would soon take me aw T ay. 
 
 CHAP. XXXIII. 
 
 Elihu offereth himself, instead of God, to reason with Job. 
 
 WHEREFORE, Job, I pray thee, hear my 
 speeches, and hearken to all my words. 
 
 2 Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my 
 tongue hath spoken fin my mouth. 
 
 3 My words shall be of the uprightness of my 
 heart : and my lips shall utter knowledge clearh 
 
 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 words in order 
 before me, stand up. 
 
 6 b Behold, I am f according to thy wish in God s 
 stead : I also am f formed out of the clay. 
 
 7 c Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, 
 neither shall my hand be heavy upon thee. 
 
 8 Surely thou hast spoken fin mine hearing, and 
 I have heard the voice of thy words, saying, 
 
 9 d I am clean without transgression, I am inno- 
 cent; neither is there iniquity in me. 
 
 10 Behold, he findeth occasions against me, "ho 
 counteth me for his enemy. 
 
 11 f H.e putteth my feet in the stocks, he mark- 
 eth all my paths. 
 
 12 Behold, in this thou art not just: I will an- 
 swer thee, that God is greater than man. 
 
 13 Why dost thou s strive against him? for fh < 
 giveth not account of any of his matters. 
 
 14 A For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man 
 perceiveth it not. 
 
 15 'In a dream, in a vision of the night, when 
 deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upoD 
 the bed ; 
 
 16 *Then the openeth the ears of men, and seal- 
 eth their instruction, 
 
 361 
 
Elihu accuseth Job, 
 
 17 That he niny withdraw man from his t pur- 
 pose, and hide pride from man. 
 
 18 He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and 
 his life tfi'om perishing by the sword. 
 
 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 bread, and his soul 
 1" dainty meat. 
 
 21 His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be 
 seen ; and his bones that were not seen, stick out. 
 
 22 Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, 
 and his life to the destroyers. 
 
 23 If there be a messenger with him, an inter- 
 preter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man 
 his uprightness: 
 
 24 Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver 
 him from going down to the pit: I have found ||a ransom. 
 
 25 His flesh shall be fresher f than a child's : he 
 shall return to the days of his youth : 
 
 26 He shall pray unto God, and he will be fa- 
 vourable unto him: and he shall see his face with 
 joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness. 
 
 27 || He looketh upon men, and if any m say, I 
 have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and 
 it "profited me not; 
 
 28 || He will "deliver his soul from going into 
 the pit, and his life shall see the light. 
 
 29 Lo, all these things worketh God f oftentimes 
 with man, 
 
 30 ^To bring back his soul from the pit, to be 
 enlightened with the light of the living. 
 
 31 Mark well, Job, hearken unto me : hold 
 thy peace, and I will speak. 
 
 32 If thou hast any thing to say, answer me : 
 speak, for I desire to justify thee. 
 
 33 If not, 'hearken unto me: hold thy peace, 
 and I shall teach thee wisdom. 
 
 CHAP. XXXIV. 
 
 1 Elihu accuseth Job for chaiging God with injustice. 10 God omnipo- 
 tent cannot be unjust. 31 Man must humble himself unto God. 34 
 Elihu reproveth Job. 
 
 FURTHERMORE Elihu answered and said, 
 
 J- 2 Hear my words, ye wise men; and give 
 
 ear unto me, ye that have knowledge. 
 
 3 a For the ear trieth words, as the f mouth tast- 
 eth meat. 
 
 4 Let us choose to us judgment: let us know 
 among ourselves what is good. 
 
 5 For Job hath said, 6 I am righteous : and c God 
 tuth taken away my judgment. 
 
 6 ''Should I lie against my right? f m y wound 
 is incurable without transgression. 
 
 7 What man is like Job, e who drinketh up scorn- 
 ing like water? 
 
 8 Which goeth in company with the workers of 
 iniquity, and walketh with wicked men. 
 
 9 For She hath said, It profiteth a man nothing 
 that he should delight himself with God. 
 
 10 Therefore hearken unto me, ye fmen of un- 
 derstanding: *far be it from God, that he should do 
 wickedness ; _ and from the Almighty, that he should 
 commit iniquity. 
 
 1 1 A For the work of a man shall he render unto him, 
 ana cause every man to find according to his ways. 
 
 j.2 Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither 
 will the Almighty 'pervert judgment. 
 
 13 Who hath given him a charge over the earth? 
 or who hath disposed fthe whole world?

 and rqirovcth him 
 
 14 If he set his lieart fupon man, if he * gather 
 unto himself his spirit and his breath ; 
 
 15 'All flesh shall perish together, and man shall 
 turn again unto dust. 
 
 16 If now thou hast understanding, hear tnis* 
 hearken to the voice of my w T ords. 
 
 17 '"Shall even he that hateth right f govern? 
 and wilt thou condemn him that is most just? 
 
 18 "Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art wicked? 
 and to princes, Ye are ungodly? 
 
 19 How much less to him that "accepteth not the 
 persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than 
 the poor? for /'they all are the work of his hands. 
 
 20 In a moment shall they die. and the people 
 shall be troubled ?at midnight, and pass away: and 
 fthe mighty shall be taken away without hand. 
 
 21 'For his eyes are upon 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 upon man more than right; 
 that he should f enter into judgment with God. 
 
 24 'He shall break in pieces mighty men f with- 
 out number, and set others in their stead. 
 
 25 Therefore he knoweth their works, and he 
 overturneth them in the night, so that they are 
 f destroyed. 
 
 26 He striketh them as wicked men fin the 
 open sight of others ; 
 
 27 Because they "turned back ffrom him, and 
 x would not consider any of his waj r s: 
 
 28 So that they ^cause the cry of the poor to come 
 unto him, and he 2 heareth the cry of the afflicted. 
 
 29 When he giveth quietness, who then can make 
 trouble ? and when lie hideth his face, "who then can 
 behold him ? whether it be done against a nation, or 
 against a man only : 
 
 30 That the hypocrite reign not, lest ° the people 
 be ensnared. 
 
 31 Surely it is meet to be said unto God, b I 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 j Should it be according to thy mind ? he will re- 
 compense it, whether thou refuse, or whether thou 
 choose; and not I: therefore speak what thou knowest. 
 
 34 Let men fof understanding tell me, and let a 
 wise man hearken unto me. 
 
 35 f Job hath spoken without knowledge, and 
 his words were without wisdom. 
 
 36 || My desire is that Job may be tried unto 
 the end, because of his answers for wicked men. 
 
 37 For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clap- 
 peth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words 
 against God. 
 
 CHAP. XXXV. 
 
 Comparison is not to be made with God. 
 
 ELIHU spake moreover, and said, 
 2 Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou 
 saidst, My righteousness is more than God's? 
 
 3 For "thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto 
 thee? and, What profit shall I have \\if I be cleansed 
 from my sin? 
 
 4 fl will answer thee, and Hhy companions 
 with thee. 
 
 5 c Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold 
 the clouds which are higher than thou. 
 
 6 If thou sinnest, what doest thou ''against him ? 
 

 fliihu sheweth God's justice. 
 
 or if thy transgressions he multiplied, what doest 
 thou unto him? 
 
 7 'If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? 
 gi what receiveth he of thine 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 oppressions they 
 make the oppressed to cry : they cry out by reason 
 of the arm of the mighty. 
 
 10 But none saitn, * Where is God my maker, 
 *T\ho giveth songs in the night; 
 
 11 Who 'teacheth us more than the beasts of the 
 Oi.vj th, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven ? 
 
 12 * There they cry, but none giveth answer, be- 
 cause of the pride of evil men. 
 
 13 'Surely God will not hear vanity, neither 
 will the Almighty regard it. 
 
 14 ""Although thou say est thou shalt not see 
 hiiQ, yet judgment is before him; therefore "trust 
 thju in him. 
 
 .15 But now, because it is not so, || he hath "visit- 
 er in his anger; yet || he knoweth it not in great 
 extremity: 
 
 16 ''Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; 
 Le multiplieth words without knowledge. 
 CHAP. XXXVI. 
 
 Elihu sheweth how God is just in /lis ways. 
 
 EL1HTJ also proceeded and said, 
 2 Suffer me a little and I will shew thee | that 
 / have yet to speak on God's behalf. 
 
 3 I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will 
 ascribe righteousness to my Maker. 
 
 4 For truly my words shall not be false : he that 
 «s perfect in knowledge is with thee. 
 
 o Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any : 
 'he is mighty in strength and f wisdom. 
 
 6 He preserveth not the life of the wicked : but 
 giveth right to the || poor. 
 
 7 6 He withdraweth not his eyes from the righte- 
 ous : but 'with kings are they on the throne; yea, he 
 doth establish thein for ever, and they are exalted. 
 
 8 And ''if they be bound in fetters, and be h olden 
 in cords of affliction, 
 
 9 Then he sheweth them their work, and their 
 transgressions that they have exceeded. 
 
 10 'lie openeth also their ear to discipline, and 
 commandeth that they return from iniquity. 
 
 11 If they obey and serve him, they shall 7 spend 
 their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures. 
 
 12 But if they obey not, f they shall perish by 
 the sword, and they shall die without knowledge. 
 
 13 But the hypocrites in heart *heap up wrath: 
 they cry not when he bindeth them. 
 
 14 '' f They die in youth, and their life is among 
 the || unclean. 
 
 15 He delivereth the || poor in his affliction, and 
 opentrth their ears in oppression. 
 
 16 Even so would he have removed thee out of 
 the stvait, 'into a broad place, where there is no strait- 
 ness; and fHhat which should be set on. thy table 
 should be full of 'fatness. 
 
 17 But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the 
 wicke»i;|| judgment and justice take hold.ora thee. 
 
 18 Because there is wrath, beware lest he take 
 thee atvay with his stroke: then "'a great ransom 
 cannot t deliver thee. 
 
 1.9 Will he esteem thy riches? no, not gold, nor 
 all the Forces of strength.

 God's works are to be magnified

 21 Take heed, "regard not iriquity : for /; this hast 
 thou chosen rather than affliction. 
 
 22 Behold, God exalteth by his power : ? who 
 teacheth like him? 
 
 23 r Who hath enjoined him his way? or "whe 
 can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity? 
 
 24 Remember that thou 'magnify his work, which 
 men behold. 
 
 25 Every man may see it; man may behold it 
 afar off. 
 
 26 Behold, God is great, and we "know him not. 
 x neither can the number of his years be searched 
 out. 
 
 27 For he ''maketh small the drops of water : they 
 pour down rain according to the vapour thereof; 
 
 28 * Which the clouds do drop and distil upon 
 man abundantly. 
 
 29 Also can any understand the spreadings of 
 the clouds, or the noise of his tabernacle? 
 
 30 Behold, he "spreadeth his light upon it, and 
 covereth f the bottom of the sea. 
 
 31 For 4 by them judgeth he the people; he 
 c giveth m%at in abundance. 
 
 32 ''With clouds he covereth the light; and com- 
 mandeth it not to shine by the cloud that cometh 
 betwixt. 
 
 33 f The noise thereof sheweth concerning it, the 
 cattle also concerning f the vapour. 
 
 CHAP. XXXVII. 
 
 God is to be feared because of his great works. 
 
 AT this also my heart trembleth, and is moved 
 out of his place. 
 
 2 fHear attentively the noise of his voice, and 
 the sound that goeth out of his mouth. 
 
 3 He directeth it under the whole heaven, and 
 his f lightning unto the fends of the earth. 
 
 4 After it " a voice roareth; he thundereth with 
 the voice of his excellency : and he will not stay 
 them when his voice is heard. 
 
 5 God thundereth marvellously with his voice; 
 6 great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend. 
 
 6 For c he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; 
 t likewise to the small rain, and to the great rair 
 of his strength. 
 
 7 He sealeth up the hand of every man; rf that 
 all men may know his work. 
 
 8 Then the beasts 'go into dens, and remain in 
 their places. 
 
 9 fOut of the south cometh the whirlwind: and 
 cold out of the f north. 
 
 10 ^'By the breath of God frost is given: and 
 the breadth of the waters is straitened. 
 
 11 Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: 
 he scattereth f his bright cloud : 
 
 12 And it is turned round about hy his coun- 
 sels: that they may *do whatsoever he commandeth 
 them upon the face of the world in the earth. 
 
 13 ''He causeth it to come, whether for t correc- 
 tion, or 'for his land, or *for mercy. 
 
 14 Hearken unto this, Job: stand still, and 
 ' consider the wondrous works of God. 
 
 15 Dost thou know when God disposed them, 
 and caused the light of his cloud to shine ? 
 
 16 '"Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, 
 the wondrous works of "him which is perfect in 
 knowledge ? 
 
 8M 
 
t)od convfnceth Job of 
 
 17 How thy garments are warm, when he quiet- 
 nth the earth by the south wind? 
 
 18 Hast thou with him "spread out the sky, 
 ufliich is strong, and as a molten looking-glass? 
 
 19 Teach us what we shall say unto 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 shall be swallowed up 
 
 JOB, 
 
 2 1 And now men see not the bright light which 
 is in the clouds : but the wind passeth, and cleans- 
 oth them. 
 
 22 f Fair weather cometh out of the north : with 
 God is terrible majesty. 
 
 23 Touching the Almighty, 'we cannot find him 
 out: ''he is excellent in power, and in judgment, 
 and in plenty of justice : he will not afflict. 
 
 24 Men do therefore 'fear him: he respecteth 
 not any that are 'wise of heart. 
 
 CHAP. XXXVIII. 
 
 God, by his mighty works, convinceth Job of ignorance. 
 
 THEN the Lord answered Job "out of the whirl- 
 wind, and said,

 without knowledge? 
 
 3 ''Gird up now thy loins like a man* for I will

 5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou

 6 Whereupon are the f foundations thereof f fas- 
 tened? or who laid the corner-stone thereof: 
 
 7 When the morning stars sang together, and 
 all y 'the sons of God shouted for joy? 
 
 8 * Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it 
 brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb? 
 
 9 When I made the cloud the garment thereof, 
 and thick darkness a swaddling band for it, 
 
 10 And || ''brake up for it my decreed yjlace, and 
 but bars and doors, 
 
 11 And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no 
 further: and here shall fthy proud waves 'be stayed? 
 
 12 Hast thou k commanded the morning since thy 
 days; and caused the day-spring to know his place; 
 
 13 That it might take hold of the fends of the 
 earth, that 'the wicked might be shaken out of it? 
 
 It 
 
 14 
 
 'the wicked might 
 is turned as clay to the seal; and they 
 stand as a garment. 
 
 15 And from the wicked their m light is with- 
 holden, and "the high arm shall be broken. 
 
 16 Hast thou "entered into the springs of the 
 sea? or hast thou walked in the search of the depth? 
 
 .17 Have ''the gates of death been opened unto 
 thee? or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow 
 of death? 
 
 18 Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? 
 declare if thou knowest it all. 
 
 19 Where is the way where light dwelleth? and 
 as for darkness, where is the place thereof, 
 
 20 That thou shouldest take it || to the bound 
 thereof, and that thou shouldest know the paths to 
 the house thereof? 
 
 21 Knowest thou it, because thou wast then 
 born? or because the number of thy days is great? 
 
 22 Hast thou entered into y the treasures of the 
 enow ? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,

 MOREOVER, the Lord answered Job, and said, 
 2 Shall he that "contendeth with the Al-

 him answer it. 
 
 3 11 Then Job answered the Lord, and said, 
 
 4 'Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? 
 '1 will lay my hand upon my mouth. 
 
 5 Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: 
 yea, twice; but I will proceed no further. 
 
 6 IT ''Then answered the Lord unto Job out of

 mand of thee, and declare thou unto me

 4 Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou

 5 Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or 
 wilt thou bind him for thy maidens? 
 
 6 Shall th}' companions make a banquet of him? 
 shall they part him among the merchants? 
 
 7 Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons ? or 
 his head with fish-spears? 
 
 8 Lay thine hand upon him, remember the bat- 
 tie, do no more. 
 
 9 Behold, the hope of him is in vain : shall not 
 one be cast down even at the sight of him ? 
 
 10 None is so fierce that dare stir him up: who 
 then is able to stand before me ? 
 
 11 c Who hath prevented me that I should repay 
 him? ''whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine. 
 
 12 I will not conceal his parts, nor his power

 18 By his neesings a light doth shine, and his

 19 Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and 
 sparks of fire leap out. 
 
 20 Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a

 26 The sword of him that layeth at him cannot 
 hold : the spear, the dart, nor the || habergeon. 
 
 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 Darts are counted as stubble : he laugheth at 
 the shaking of a spear. 
 
 30 f Sharp stones are under him : he spreadeth 
 sharp-pointed things upon the mire. 
 
 31 He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: 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 Upon earth there is not his like, || who is

 "t up for yourselves a burnt-offering; and my 
 servant Job shall ''pray for you: for fhim will I

 ye have not spoken of me the thing which is right, 
 like my servant Job. 
 
 9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shu- 
 hite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did ac- 
 cording as the Lord commanded them: the Lord 
 also accepted f Job. 
 
 10 'And the Lord turned the captivity of Job, 
 when he prayed for his friends: also the Lord 
 tgave Job * twice as much as he had before. 
 
 11 Then came there unto him 'all his brethren, 
 and all his sisters, and all they that had been of 
 his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him 
 in his house : and they bemoaned him, and com- 
 forted him over all the evil that the Lord had 
 brought upon him : every man also gave him a 
 piece of money, and every one an ear-ring of gold. 
 
 12 So the Lord blessed '"the latter end of Jot 
 more than his beginning: for he had "fourteen thou- 
 sand 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, Jemima ; 
 and the name of the second, Kezia; and the napjo 
 of the third, Keren-happuch. 
 
 15 And in all the land were no women found w 
 fair as the daughters of Job: and their father g?vo 
 them inheritance among their brethren. 
 
 16 After this ''lived Job an hundred and fcrty 
 years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even 
 four generations. 
 
 17 So Job died, being old and 'full of days.

 2 For lo, c the wicked bend their bow, ''they make 
 ready their arrow upon the string, that they may 
 f privily shoot at the upright in heart.

 6 * Upon the wicked he shall rain || snares, fire

 YTELP, || Lord; for "the godly man ceaseth; for

 among 
 
 the children of 
 
 men. 
 
 2 *They speak vanity every one with his neigh- 
 bour: c with flattering lips and with fa double heart 
 do they speak. 
 
 3 The Lord shall cut off all flattering lips, and 
 the tongue that speaketh d -\ proud things : 
 
 4 Who have said, With our tongue will we pre- 
 vail ; our lips | are our own : who is lord over us ? 
 
 5 For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing 
 of the needy, e now will I arise, saith the Lord; I 
 will set him in safety from him that IKpuffeth at him. 
 
 6 The words of the Lord are s pure words : as sil- 
 ver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. 
 
 7 Thou shalt keep them, Lord, thou shalt 
 preserve f them from this generation for ever. 
 
 8 The wicked walk on every side, when fthe

 1[To the || chief Musician, A Psalm of David. 
 
 HOW long wilt thou forget me, Lord ? for ever ? 
 "how long wilt thou hide thy face from me? 
 
 2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, 
 having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall 
 mine enemy be exalted over me ? 
 
 3 Consider and hear me, Lord . my God : 
 * lighten mine eyes, c lest I sleep the sleep of death. 
 
 4 d Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against 
 him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am 
 moved. 
 
 5 But I have 'trusted in thy mercy; my heart

 1 David describeth the corruption of a natural man. 4 He conninctlh llut 
 wicked by the. light of their conscience. 
 fTo the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. 
 
 THE "fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. 
 *Thcy are corrupt, they have done abominable 
 works, there is none that doeth good. 
 
 2 c The Lord looked down from heaven upon the 
 children of men, to see if there were any tnat did 
 understand, and seek God. 
 
 3 ''They are all gone aside, they are all togethei 
 become *f filthy : there is none that doeth good, no, 
 not one. 
 
 4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? 
 w r ho f eat up my people as they eat bread, and •'call 
 not upon the Lord. 
 
 5 There fwere they in great fear: for God is in 
 the generation of the righteous. 
 
 6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, be 
 cause the Lord is his e refuge. 
 
 7 f'Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out 
 of Zion! 'when the Lord bringeth back the cap- 
 tivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice and Israel 
 shali be glad. 
 
 PSALM XV.

 LORD, "who shall f abide in thy tabernacle? who 
 shall dwell in »thy holy hill? 
 
 2 e He that walketh uprightly, and worketh right- 
 eousness, and ''speaketh the truth in his heart. 
 
 3 e He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor 
 doeth evil to his neighbour, •''nor || taketh up a re- 
 proach against his neighbour. 
 
 4 *In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; 
 but he honoureth them that fear the Lord. He 
 that A sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not. 
 
 5 l Fie that putteth not out his money to usury, 
 *nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that 
 doeth these things 'shall never be moved.

 PRESERVE me, O God: "for in thee do I put

 2 O my soul, thou hast said unto the Lord, Thou

 3 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to 
 the excellent, in wlk.m is all my delight. 
 
 4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that || hasten 
 after another god: their drink-offerings of blood will 
 I not offer, c nor take up their names into my lips.

 6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places;

 9 Therefore my heart is glad, *and my glory re- 
 joiceth: my flesh also shall frest in hope. 
 
 10 ' For thou wilt not leave m my soul in hell; neither 
 wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

 H A Prayer of David. 
 
 HEAR f the right, Lord, attend unto my cry, 
 give ear unto my prayer, that goeth fnot out 
 of feigned lips. 
 
 2 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; 
 let thine eyes behold the things that are equal. 
 
 3 Thou hast proved mine heart; "thou hast visit- 
 ed me in the night; 'thou hast tried me, and shalt 
 find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall

 4 Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy 
 lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer. 
 
 5 'Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my foot-

 6 d l have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, 
 God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.

 11 They have now k compassed us in our steps: 
 'they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth; 
 
 12 f Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and 
 as it were a young lion f lurking in secret places.

 If To the chief Musician, A Psnlm of David, *the servant of the 
 Lord, who spake unto the Lord the words of *this song in the 
 day t'nat the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, 
 and from the hand of Saul : And he said,

 2 The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and 
 my deliverer; my God, f m y strength, 6 in whom I 
 will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salva- 
 tion, and my high tower. 
 
 3 I will call upon the Lord, 'ioho is worthy to be 
 praised : so shall I be saved from mine enemies. 
 
 4 d The sorrows of death compassed me, and the 
 floods of f ungodly men made me afraid. 
 
 5 The || sorrows of hell compassed me about : 
 the snares of death prevented me. 
 
 6 In my distress I called upon the Lord, and 
 cried unto my God : he heard my voice out of his tem- 
 ple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears. 
 
 7 'Then the earth shook and trembled; the foun- 
 dation's also of the hills moved and were shaken, be-

 11 He made darkness his secret place; 'his pa- 
 vilion round about him were dark waters and thick 
 clouds of the skies. 
 
 12 *At the brightness that was before him his 
 thick clouds passed, hailstones and coals of fire. 
 
 13 The Lord also thundered in the heavens, and the

 that rose up against me. 
 
 40 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine 
 enemies ; that I might destroj' them that hate me. 
 
 4.1 They cried, but there was none to save them: 
 "even unto the Lord, but he answered them not. 
 
 42 Then did I beat them small as the dust before 
 the wind : I did 'cast them out as the dirt in the streets. 
 
 43 *Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of 
 the people; and 'thou hast made me the head of the 
 heathen: m a people whom I have not known shall 
 serve me. 
 
 44 f As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me : 
 fthe strangers "shall Hfsubmit themselves unto me. 
 
 45 "The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid 
 out of their close places. 
 
 46 The Lord liveth; and blessed be my Rock; 
 and let the God of my salvafion be exalted. 
 
 47 It is God that f avengeth me, ^and || subdueth 
 the people under me. 
 
 48 He delivereth me from mine enemies : yea/thou 
 liftest me up above those that rise up against me : 
 thou hast delivered me from the f violent man. 
 
 49 ""Therefore will I llgive thanks unto thee, Lord, 
 among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name. 
 
 50 'Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and 
 sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his 
 seed 'for evermore. 
 
 PSALM XIX. 
 
 1 The creatures shew God's glory; 7 the word, his grace. 
 \ To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. 
 
 fPHE "heavens declare the glory of God; and the 
 J- firmament sheweth his handy work. 
 
 2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto 
 night sheweth knowledge. 
 
 3 There is no speech nor language, || f where their 
 voice is not heard. 
 
 4 b || Their line is gone out through all the earth, 
 and their words to the end of the world. In them 
 hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, 
 
 5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his cham- 
 ber, "and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. 
 
 6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, 
 and his circuit unto the ends of it : and there is 
 nothing hid from the heat thereof. 
 
 7 d The || law of the Lord is perfect, || converting 
 the soul : the testimony of the Lord is sure, making 
 wise the simple. 
 
 8 The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing 
 the heart : e the commandment of the Lord is pure, 
 r en lightening the eyes. 
 
 9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for 
 ever: the judgments of the Lord are ftrue and 
 righteous altogether. 
 
 10 More to be desired are they than gold, *yea, 
 than much fine gold: h sweeter also than honey and 
 1 the honey-comb. 
 
 11 Moreover, by them is thy servant warned: 
 and 'in keeping of them there is great reward. 
 
 12 *Who can understand his errors? 'cleanse thou 
 me from '" secret faults. 
 
 13 * Keep back thy servant also from presumptu- 
 ous sins; "let them not have dominion over me: 
 then shall [ be upright, and 1 shaU be innocent from 
 " the great transgression.

 A Psalm of David. 
 
 MY "God, my God, why hast thou ftrsakea me? 
 why art thou so far tfrom helping me, and from 
 6 the words of my roaring? 
 
 2 O my God, I cry in the day-time, but thou hear- 
 est not ; and in the night season, and t am not silent 
 
 3bl 
 
David prai/elh in great distress : 
 
 3 But thou art holy, thou that inhahitest the 
 ' praises of Israel. 
 
 4 Our fathers trusted in thee : they trusted, and 
 thou didst deliver them. 
 
 5 They cried unto thee, and were delivered : rf they 
 trusted in thee, and were not confounded. 
 
 6 But I am e a worm, and no man; -/"a reproach of 
 men, and despised of the people. 
 
 7 s All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they 
 t shoot out the lip, Hhey shake the head, saying, 
 
 8 ' f He trusted on the Lord that he would deliver 
 him : Met him deliver him, || seeing he delighted in him. 
 
 9 'But thou art he that took me out of the womh : 
 thou || didst make me hope when I was upon nry 
 mother's breasts. 
 
 10 I was cast upon thee from the womb: m thou 
 art my God from my mother's belly. 
 
 11 Be not far from me ; for trouble is near ; for 
 there is t none to help. 
 
 12 "Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls 
 of Bashan have beset me round. 
 
 13 "They fg^ped upon me ivith their mouths, as 
 'A ravening and a roaring lion. 
 
 14 I am poured out like water, ^and all my bones 
 are || out of joint; 9 my heart is like wax : it is melted 
 in the midst of my bowels. 
 
 15 r My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and 
 'my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast 
 brought me into the dust of death. 
 
 16 For 'dogs have compassed me: the assembly 
 of the wicked have inclosed me: "they pierced my 
 hands and my feet. 
 
 17 1 may tell all my bones : x thc} T look and stare 
 upon me. 
 
 18 y They part my garments among them, and cast 
 lots upon my vesture.

 20 Deliver my soul from the sword, "fmy dar-

 23 e Ye that fear the Lord, praise him; all ye the

 trouble: 'mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my 
 soul and my belly. 
 
 10 For my life is spent with grief, and my years 
 with sighing : my strength faileth because of mine 
 iniquity, and m my bones are consumed. 
 
 11 "I was a reproach among all mine enemies, 
 but "especially among my neighbours, and a fear to 
 mine acquaintance : >' they that did see me without 
 fled from me. 
 
 12 ?I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: 
 I am like a f broken vessel. 
 
 13 'For I have heard the slander of many: 'fear 
 was on every side : while they ' took counsel together 
 against me, they devised to take away my life. 
 
 14 But 1 trusted in thee, O Lord : l^said, Thou 
 art my God. 
 
 15 My times are in thy hand : deliver me from 
 the hand of mine enemies, and from them that per- 
 secute me. 
 
 16 "Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: 
 save me for thy mercies' sake. 
 
 17 ^Let me not be ashamed, G Lord; for 1 have 
 called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and 
 y || let them be silent in the grave. 
 
 18 *Let the lying lips be put to silence; which 
 ° speak t grievous things proudly and contemptuously 
 against the righteous. 
 
 19 b Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou 
 hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou 
 hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the 
 sons of men ! 
 
 20 c Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy pre- 
 sence from the pride of man: rf thou shalt keep them 
 secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues. 
 
 21 Blessed he the Lord: for e he hath shewed me 
 his marvellous kindness ■'in a || strong city. 
 
 22 For ^1 said in my haste, h I am cut off from 
 before thine eyes : nevertheless thou heardest the 
 voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee. 
 
 23 ' O love the Lord, all ye his saints : for the 
 Lord preserveth the faithful, and plentifully re- 
 ward eth the proud doer. 
 
 24 *Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen 
 your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord. 
 
 PSALM XXXII. 
 
 Confession of sins giveth ease to the conscience. 
 f || A Psalm of David, Maschil. 
 
 BLESSED is he whose "transgression is forgiven, 
 whose sin is covered. 
 
 2 Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord 'im- 
 puteth not iniquity, and c in whose spirit there is no 
 guile. 
 
 3 When I kept silence, my bones waxed old 
 through my roaring all the day long. 
 
 4 For day and night thy ''hand was heavy upon 
 me : my moirture is turned into the drought of 
 summer. Selah. 
 
 5 I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine 
 iniquity have I not hid. 'I said, I will confess my 
 transgressions unto the Lord; and thou forgavest 
 the iniquity of m} r sin. Selah. 
 
 6 ^For this shall every one that is godly *pray 
 unto thee fin a time when thou mayest be found* 
 surely in the floods of great waters they shall not 
 come nigh unto him. 
 
 7 A Thou art my hiding-place; thou shalt prcseive 
 me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about wilh 
 ■ songs of deliverance. Selah. 
 
An exhortation to praise God. 
 
 8 I will instruct thee, and teach thee in the way 
 which thou shalt go: fl will guide thee with mine eye. 
 
 9 *Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which 
 have no understanding : whose mouth must be held 
 in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto 
 tr.ee. 
 
 10 '"Many sorrows shall be to the wicked ; but "he 
 that trusteth in the Lord, mercy shall compass him 
 about. 
 
 11 "Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye righteous: 
 and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart. 
 
 PSALM XXXIII. 
 
 God is to be praised for his goodness. 
 
 REJOICE "in the Lord, ye righteous : for 
 'praise is comely for the upright. 
 
 2 Praise the Lord with harp : sing unto him with 
 the psaltery c and an instrument of ten strings. 
 
 3 ''Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with 
 a loud noise. 
 
 4 For the word of the Lord is right; and all ms 
 works are done in truth. 
 
 5 'He loveth righteousness and judgment: -/"the 
 earth is full of the || goodness of the Lord. 
 
 6 *By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; 
 and A all the host of them 'by the breath of his mouth. 
 
 7 fc lle gathereth the waters of the sea together as 
 an heap: he layeth up the depth In store-houses. 
 
 8 Let all the earth fear the Lord: let all the in- 
 habitants of the world stand in awe of him. 
 
 9 For 'he .spake, and it was done; he commanded, 
 and it stood fast. 
 
 10 m The Lord fhringeth the counsel of the hea- 
 then to nought: he maketh the devices of the peo- 
 ple of none effect. 
 
 11" The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever, the 
 thoughts of his heart f to all generations. 
 
 12 "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; 
 and the people whom he hath ^ chosen for his own 
 inheritance. 
 
 13 'The Lord looketh from heaven; he beholdeth 
 all the sons of men. 
 
 14 From the place of his habitation he looketh 
 upon all the inhabitants of the earth. 
 
 15 He fashioneth their hearts alike; r he con- 
 sidereth all their works. 
 
 16 * There is no king saved by the multitude of 
 an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much 
 strength. 
 
 17 'An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither 
 shall he deliver any by his great strength. 
 
 18 "Behold, the eye of the Lord is ^upon them 
 that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; 
 
 19 To deliver their soul from death, and y to keep 
 them alive in famine. 
 
 20 *Our soul waiteth for the Lord: "he is our 
 help and our shield. 
 
 21 For our ° heart shall rejoice in him, because 
 we have trusted in his holy name. 
 
 22 Let thy mercy, Lord, be upon us, according 
 as we hope in thee. 
 
 PSALM XXXIV. 
 
 David praiseth God, and exhorteth others thereto by his experience. 
 
 1 A Psalm of David when he changed his behaviour before 
 || Abimelech ; who drove him away, and he departed. 
 
 fa WILL "bless the Lord at all times: his praise 
 *- shall continually be in my mouth.

 3 the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.

 in their days, in the times of old. 
 
 2 How *thou didst drive out the heathen with 
 thy hand, and plantedst them ; how thou didst afflict 
 the people, and cast them out. 
 
 3 For c they got not the land in possession by their 
 own sword, neither did their own arm save them : but 
 thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy 
 countenance, d because thou hadst a favour unto them. 
 
 4 c Thou art my King, God: command deliver- 
 ances for Jacob. 
 
 5 Through thee Avill we push down our enemies : 
 through thy name will we tread them under that

 thy name for ever. Selah. 
 
 9 But Hhou hast cast off, and put us to shame;

 and they which hate us spoil for themselves.' 
 
 11 '"Thou hast given us fhke sheep appointed for 
 meat; and hast "scattered us among the heathen. 
 
 12 "Thou sellest thy people f for nought, and dost 
 not increase thy wealth by their price. 
 
 13 ''Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, 
 a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us. 
 
 14 "Thou makest us a by-word among the hea- 
 then, 'a shaking of the head among the people. 
 
 15 My confusion is continually before me, and 
 the shame of my face hath covered me, 
 
 16 For the voice of him that reproacheth and blas- 
 phemeth; 'by reason of the enemy and avenger. 
 
 17 'All this is come upon us; yet have we not 
 forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in* thy 
 covenant. 
 
 18 Our heart is not turned back, "neither have 
 our i| steps declined from thy way; 
 
 19 Though thou hast sore broken us in * the place 
 of dragons, and covered us y with the shadow of death. 
 
 20 If we have forgotten the name of our God, or 
 "stretched out our hands to a strange god: 
 
 21 a Shall not God search this out? for he know- 
 eth the secrets of the heart. 
 
 22 6 Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day 
 we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.

 PSALM L. 
 
 The majesty of God in the church. 
 If A Psalm || of Asaph. 
 
 THE ■ mighty God, even the Lord, hath spoken, 
 and called the earth from the rising of the sun 
 unto the going down thereof. 
 
 2 Out of Zion, 'the perfection of beauty, r Got) 
 hath shined. 
 
 3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence : 
 rf a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very 
 tempestuous round about him. 
 
 4 e He shall call to the heavens from above, and 
 to the earth, that he may judge his people. 
 
 5 Gather J 'mj saints together unto me; s those 
 that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice. 
 
 6 And 'the heavens shall declare his righteous 
 ness : for 'God is judge himself. Selah. 
 
 7 ^Hear, O my people, and 1 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 sacrifices or thy 
 burnt offerings, to have been continually before me. 
 
 9 "I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor 
 he-goats out of thy folds. 
 
 10 For every beast of the forest is mine, and the 
 cattle upon a thousand hills. 
 
 11 I know all the fowls of the mountains : and 
 the wild beasts of the field are f mine. 
 
David prayeth /or remission of sins : 
 
 12 If 1 were hungry, I would not tell thee: 'for 
 the world is mine, and the fulness thereof. 
 
 13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the 
 olood of goats? 
 
 14 'Offer unto God thanksgiving; and r pay thy 
 vows unto the Most High : 
 
 15 And 'call upon me in the day of trouble: I 
 will deliver thee, and thou shalt 'glorify me. 
 
 16 But unto the wicked God saith, What hast 
 thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou 
 shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth ? 
 
 17 "Seeing thou hatest instruction, and x castest 
 my words behind thee. 
 
 18 When thou sawest a thief, then thou y con- 
 sentedst with him, and fhast been *partaker with 
 adulterers. 
 
 19 f Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and a thy 
 tongue frame th deceit. 
 
 20 Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; 
 thou slnnderest thine own mother's son. 
 
 21 These things hast thou done, 'and I kept si- 
 lence; c thou though test that I was altogether such 
 an one as thyself: bitt' d I will reprove thee, and set 
 them in order before thine eyes 
 
 22 Now consider this, ye that ' forget God, lest 
 I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.

 shew the salvation of God. 
 
 PSALM LI. 
 
 God delighteth not in sacrifice, but in sincerity. 
 
 U To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David, *when Nathan 
 the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bath- 
 sheba. 
 
 HAVE mercy upon me, God, according to thy 
 loving-kindness : according unto the multitude 
 of thy tender mercies "blot out my transgressions. 
 
 2 'Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and 
 cleanse me from my sin. 
 
 3 For C 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, and be clear when thou judgest. 
 
 5 ° Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; A and in 
 sin did my mother f conceive me. 
 
 G Behold, thou desirest truth 'in the inward 
 parts : and in the hidden part thou shalt make me 
 to know wisdom. 
 
 7 k Purge me with Iryssop, and I shall be clean: 
 wash me, and I shall be 'whiter than snow. 
 
 8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the 
 bones which thou hast broken m may rejoice. 
 
 9 "Hide thy face from my sins, and' "blot out all 
 mine iniquities. 
 
 10 'Create in me a clean heart, God; and re- 
 new || a right spirit within me. 
 
 11 Cast me not away ''from thy presence; and 
 take not thy r Holy Spirit from me. 
 
 12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; 
 and uphold me with thy 'free Spirit. 
 
 13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; 
 and sinners shall be converted unto thee. 
 
 14 Deliver me from f« blood-guiltiness, God, 
 thou God of my salvation : and " my tongue shall 
 eing aloud of thy righteousness. 
 
 15 Loud, open thou my lips, and my mouth 
 shall shew forth thy praise.

 PSALM LIL 
 
 David, upon his confidence in Cod's mercy, giveth thanks. 
 
 f To the chief Musician, Maschil. A Psalm of David, * when 
 Doeg the Edomite came and * told Saul, and said unto him, 
 David is come to the house of Ahimelech. 
 
 WHY boastest thou thyself in mischief, O 
 " mighty man? the goodness of God endureth 
 continually. 
 
 2 'Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; c like a sharp 
 nizor, working deceitfully. 
 
 3 Thou lovest evil more than good; and ''lying 
 rather than to speak righteousness. Selah. 
 
 4 Thou lovest all devouring words, || O thou de- 
 ceitful tongue. 
 
 5 God shall likewise f destroy thee for ever, he shall 
 take thee aw T ay, and pluck thee out of thy dwelling- 
 place and c root thee out of the land of the living. Selah. 
 
 G •'The righteous also shall see, and fear, *and 
 shall laugh at him : 
 
 7 Lo. this is the man that made not God his 
 strength; but * trusted in the abundance of his 
 riches, and strengthened himself in his llwickedness. 
 
 8 But I am 'like a green olive tree in the house of 
 God : I trust in the mercy 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.

 A Psalm of David. 
 
 r r<IlE "fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. 
 A- Corrupt are they, and have done abominable 
 iniquity: b there is none that doeth good. 
 
 2 God c looked down from heaven upon the chil- 
 dren of men, to see if there were any that did un- 
 derstand, that did ''seek God. 
 
 3 Everv one of them is gone back: they are 
 altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth 
 good, no, not one. 
 
 4 Have the workers of iniquity r no knowledge? 
 who eat up my people as they eat bread : they 
 have not called upon God. 
 
 5 -/'There f were they in great fear, where no feai 
 was: for God hath ^scattered the bones of him that 
 encampeth against thee: thou hast put them to 
 shame, because God hath despised them.

 people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

 2 Hear my prayer, God : give ear to the words

 3 For "strangers are risen up against me, and

 Uod before them. Selah. 
 
 4 Behold, God is mine helper- *the Lord is with 
 them that uphold my soul. 
 
 5 He shall reward evil unto funne enemies; cut 
 them off c in thy truth. 
 
 6 I will freely sacrifice unto thee : I will praise 
 (hy name, Lord; ''for it 'is good. 
 
 7 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble : c and

 PSALM LV. 
 
 David in his prayer complainelh of Ids fearful case. 
 
 1i To the chief Musician on Ne^inoth, Maschil, 
 
 A Psalm of David. 
 
 G.IVE ear to my prayer, God; and hide not 
 thyself from my supplication. 
 
 2 Attend unto me, and hear me; I "mourn in 
 my complaint, and make a noise ; 
 
 3 Because of the voice of the enemy, because of 
 tie oppression of the wicked : 4 for they cast iniquity 
 upon me, and in wrath they hate me. 
 
 4 c My heart is sore pained within me: and the 
 terrors of death are fallen upon me. 
 
 5 Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, 
 and horror hath f overwhelmed 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 remain in 
 ibe wilderness. Selah. 
 
 8 1 would hasten my escape from the windy 
 storm and tempest. 
 
 9 Destroy, Lord, and divide their tongues : 
 for I have seen ''violence and strife in the city. 
 
 10 Day and night they go about it upon the! 
 walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow are in the! 
 midst of it. , 
 
 11 Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit 
 and guile depart not from her streets. 
 
 12 e For it was not an enemy that reproached me; 
 then I could have borne it: neither was it he that 
 hated me that did -^magnify himself against, me; 
 1 would have hid myself from him : 
 
 13 But it was thou, fa man mine equal, 
 guide, and mine acquaintance. 
 
 14 f We took sweet counsel together, and '' walked 
 unto the house of God in company. 
 
 15 Let death seize upon them, and let them 'go 
 down quick into lihell; for wickedness is in their 
 dwellings, and among them. 
 
 16 As for me, 1 will call upon God: and the 
 Lord shall save me.

 and cry aloud : and he shall hear my voice.

 PSALM LXXIII. 
 
 Knowledge of Gods purposes in destroying of the wicked, and sustaining 
 
 the righteous. 
 
 \ |j A Psalm of *Asaph. 
 
 TRULY || God is good to Israel, even to such as 
 are f of a clean Heart. 
 
 2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone ; my 
 steps had well nigh slipped. 
 
 3 °For 1 was envious at the foolish, when I saw 
 the prosperity of the wicked. 
 
 4 For there are no bands in their death: but 
 their strength is ffirm. 
 
 5 ''They are not f in trouble as other men; neither 
 are they plagued f like other men. 
 
 6 Therefore pride compasseth them about as a 
 chain; violence covereth them c as a garment. 
 
 7 d Their eyes stand out with fatness: fthey 
 have more than heart could wish. 
 
 8 e They are corrupt, and •>' speak wickedly con- 
 cerning oppression: they s speak loftily. 
 
 9 They set their mouth ''against the heavens, 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? and 
 is there knowledge in the Most High ? 
 
 12 Behold, these are the ungodly, who 'prosper 
 in the world; they increase in riches. 
 
 13 '"Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, 
 and " washed my hands in innocency. 
 
 14 For all the day long have I been plagued, 
 and f chastened every morning. 
 
 15 If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should 
 offend against the generation of thy children. 
 
 16 "When I thought to know this, \ it was lo« 
 painful for me; 
 
 377 
 
The righteous sustained. 
 
 17 Until 'I went into the sanctuary of God; 
 then understood I 'their end. 
 
 18 Surely ' thou didst set them in slippery places : 
 thou castedst them down into destruction. 
 
 19 How are they brought into desolation, as in a 
 moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors. 
 
 20 'As a dream when one awaketh; so, Lord, 
 when thou awakest, thou sha.lt despise their image. 
 
 21 Thus my heart was "grieved, and I was pricked 
 n my reins. 
 
 22 'So foolish was I, and f ignorant; 1 was as a 
 Deast f before thee. 
 
 23 Nevertheless 1 am continually with thee: 
 thou hast hold en me by my right hand. 
 
 24 y Thou snalt guide me with thy counsel, and 
 afterward receive me to glory. 
 
 25 *Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there 
 is none upon earth that I desire besides thee. 
 
 26 " My flesh and my heart faileth : but God is 
 the f strength of my heart, and 4 my portion forever. 
 
 27 For lo, c they that are far from thee shall per- 
 ish : thou hast destroyed all them that rf go a whor- 
 ing from thee. 
 
 28 But it is good for me to 'draw near to God: 
 [ have put my trust in the Lord God, that I may 
 'declare all thy works. 
 
 PSALM LXXIV. 
 
 The Prophet complainelh of the desolation of the sanctuary. 
 \\ Maschil of Asaph. 
 
 OGOD, why hast thou "cast us off for ever? why 
 doth thine anger b smoke against c the sheep of 
 thy pasture? 
 
 2 Remember thy congregation, "which thou hast 
 purchased of old; the prod of thine inheritance, 
 which thou hast redeemed ; this mount Zion, wherein 
 thou hast dwelt. 
 
 3 Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; 
 even all that the enemy hath done wickedly in the 
 sanctuary. 
 
 4 •'Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy con- 
 gregations ; s they set up their ensigns for signs. 
 
 5 A man was famous acccording as he had lifted 
 up axes upon the thick trees. 
 
 6 But now they break down Hhe carved work 
 thereof at once with axes and hammers. 
 
 7 ' f They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they 
 have defiled k by casting down the dwelling-place of 
 thy name to the ground. 
 
 8 'They said in their hearts, Let us f destroy 
 them together : they have burned up all the syna- 
 gogues of God in the land. 
 
 9 We see not our signs: m there is no more any 
 prophet: neither is there among us any that know- 
 eth how long 
 
 10 God, how long shall the adversary re- 
 proach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for 
 ever ? 
 
 11 "Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy 
 right hand'' pluck it out of thy bosom. 
 
 12 For " God is my King of old, working salva- 
 tion in the midst of the earth. 
 
 13 ^Thou didst f divide the sea by thy strength: 
 <? thou brakest the heads of the || dragons in the waters. 
 
 14 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in 
 pieces, and gavest him r to be meat 'to the people 
 inhabiting the wilderness. 
 
 15 'Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: 
 * thou driedst up f mighty rivers

 Asaph. 
 
 UNTO thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee 
 do we give thanks : for that thy name is near, 
 thy wondrous works declare. 
 
 2 || When I shall receive the congregation I will 
 judge uprightly. 
 
 3 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are

 4 I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly; and 
 to the wicked, " Lift not up the horn : 
 
 5 Lift not up your horn on high : speak not with 
 a stiff neck. 
 
 6 For promotion cometh neither from the east, 
 nor from the west, nor from the f south. 
 
 7 But 6 God is the judge: c he putteth down one, 
 and setteth up another. 
 
 8 For "in the hand of the Lord there is a cup.

 poureth out of the same: -/"but the dregs thereof, all

 A Psalm [| of Asaph. 
 
 1 CRIED unto God with my voice, even unto God 
 with my voice; and he gave ear unto me. 
 
 2 6 In the day of my trouble I r sought the Lord: 
 f my sore ran in the night and ceased not: my soul 
 refused to be comforted. 
 
 3 1 remembered God, and was troubled : 1 com- 
 plained, and J my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah. 
 
 4 Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so

 God's wruili against the disobedient 
 
 the Lord, and his strength, and his wonderful works 
 that he hath done. 
 
 5 For J he established a testimony in Jacob, ami 
 appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our 
 fathers, "that they should make them known to 
 their children: 
 
 6 ''That <he generation to come might know th cm, 
 even the children which should be born : who should 
 arise and declare them to their children : 
 
 7 That they might set their hope in God, and not 
 forget the works of God, but keep his commandments : 
 
 8 And 'might not be as their fathers, *a stubborn 
 and rebellious generation; a generation \'that set 
 not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not. 
 steadfast with God. 
 
 9 The children of Ephraim, being armed, and 
 f carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle. 
 
 10 '"They kept not the covenant of God, and re- 
 fused to walk in his law; 
 
 11 And "forgat his works, and his wonders that 
 he had shewed them. 
 
 12 Marvellous things did he in the sight of their 
 fathers, in the land of Egypt, p in the field of Zoan 
 
 13 9 He divided the sea, and caused them to pass 
 through ; and 'he made the waters to stand as an heap. 
 
 14 'In the day-time also he led them with a 
 cloud, and all the night with a light of fire. 
 
 15 'He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and 
 gave them drink as out of the great depths. 
 
 16 He brought "streams also out of the rock, and 
 caused waters to run down like rivers. 
 
 17 And they sinned yet more against him by 
 •"provoking the Most High in the wilderness. 
 
 18 And y they tempted God in their heart by 
 asking meat for their lust. 
 
 19 *Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can 
 God f furnish a table in the wilderness? 
 
 20 "Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters 
 gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give 
 bread also ? can he provide flesh for his people ? 
 
 21 Therefore the Lord heard this, and 4 was wroth : 
 so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also 
 came up against Israel; 
 
 22 Because they c believed not in God, and trust- 
 ed not in his salvation : 
 
 23 Though he had commanded the clouds from 
 above, ''and opened the doors of heaven, 
 
 24 e And had rained down manna upon them to 
 eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven. 
 
 25 || Man did eat angels' food: he sent them 
 meat to the full. 
 
 26 •'He caused an east wind f to blow in the heaven : 
 and by his power he brought in the south wind. 
 
 27 He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and 
 f feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea: 
 
 28 And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, 
 round about their habitations. 
 
 29 *So they did eat, and were well filled: for he 
 gave them their own desire. 
 
 30 They were not estranged from their lust: but 
 h while their meat tvas yet in their mouths, 
 
 31 The wrath of God came upon them, and slew 
 the fattest of them, and f smote down the || chosen 
 men of Israel. 
 
 32 For all this 'they sinned still, and *believen 
 not for his wondrous works. 
 
 33 'Therefore their days did he consume in 
 vanity, and their years in trouble. 
 
 S7» 
 
tjoffs wrath against the disobedient. 
 
 34 m When he slew them, then they sought hun : 
 and they returned and enquired early after God. 
 
 35 And they remembered that "God was their 
 Rock, and the nigh God "their Redeemer. 
 
 36 Nevertheless they did ''flatter him with their 
 mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues. 
 
 37 For 'their heart was not right with him, 
 neither were they steadfast in his covenant. 
 
 38 'But he, being full of compassion, forgave 
 their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yea, many 
 a time 'turned he his anger away, 'and did not stir 
 up all his wrath. 
 
 39 For " he remembered * that they were but flesh ; 
 'a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again. 
 
 40 How oft did they II 1 provoke him in the 
 wilderness, and grieve him in the desert ! 
 
 41 Yea, "they turned back and tempted- God, 
 and * limited the Holy One of Israel. 
 
 42 They remembered not his hand, nor the day 
 when he delivered them || from the enemy. 
 
 43 How c he had f wrought his signs in Egypt, 
 and his wonders in the field of Zoan : 
 
 44 ''And had turned their rivers into blood : and 
 their floods, that they could not drink. 
 
 45 e He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which 
 devoured them; and / frogs which destroyed them. 
 
 46 f He gave also their increase unto the cater- 
 pillar, and their labour unto the locust. 
 
 47 A He f destroyed their vines with hail, and 
 their sycamore-trees with || frost. 
 
 48 'fHe gave up their cattle also to the hail, 
 and their flocks to || hot thunder-bolts. 
 
 49 He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, 
 wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil 
 angels among them. 
 
 &0 fHe made a way to his anger; he spared 
 not their soul from death, but gave || their life over 
 to the pestilence; 
 
 51 *And smote all the first-born in Egypt; the 
 chief of their strength in 'the tabernacles of Ham: 
 
 52 But m made his own people to go forth like 
 sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock. 
 
 53 And he " led them on safely, so that they feared 
 not: but the sea °f overwhelmed their enemies. 
 
 54 And he brought them to the border of his 
 'sanctuary, even to this mountain, ''ivhich his right 
 hand had purchased. 
 
 55 'He cast out the heathen also before them, 
 and 'divided them an inheritance by line, and made 
 the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents. 
 
 56 'Yet they tempted and provoked the most 
 high God, and kept not his testimonies : 
 
 57 But "turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like 
 their fathers: they were turned aside ^like a de- 
 ceitful bow. 
 
 58 y For they provoked him to anger with their 
 'high places, and moved him to jealousy with their 
 graven images. 
 
 59 When God heard this, he was wroth, and 
 greatly abhorred Israel : 
 
 60 " So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, 
 the tent, which he placed among men; 
 
 61 6 And delivered his strength into captivity, 
 and his glory into the enemy's hand. 
 
 62 c He gave his people over also unto the sword; 
 and was wroth with his inheritance. 
 
 63 The fire consumed their young men; and 
 'their maidens were not + given to marriage.

 and ''like a mighty man that shoutcth by reason of 
 wine. 
 
 66 And 'he smote his enemies in the hinder parts ; 
 he put them to a perpetual reproach. 
 
 67 Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, 
 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 '"-established for ever. 
 
 _ 70 '" He chose David also Lis servant, and took 
 him from the sheepfolds: 
 
 71 f From following the " ewes great with young 
 he brought him "to feed Jacob his people, and Israel 
 his inheritance. 
 
 72 So he fed them according to the ^integrity 
 of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness 
 of his hands. 
 
 PSALM LXXIX. 
 
 The Psalmist complaineth of the desolation of Jerusalem. 
 1 A Psalm || of Asnph. 
 
 OGOD, the heathen are come into "thine inherit- 
 ance; Hhy holy temple have they defiled; 
 c they have laid Jerusalem on heaps. 
 
 2 s The dead bodies of thy servants have they 
 given to be meat unto the fowls of the heaven, the 
 flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth. 
 
 3 Their blood have they shed like water round 
 about Jerusalem; 'and there ivas none to bury 
 them. 
 
 4 / We are become a reproach to our neighbours, 
 a scorn and derision to them that are round about ua 
 
 5 d How long, Lord? wilt thou be angry for ever ? 
 shall thy ''jealousy burn like fire? 
 
 6 'Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that 
 have *not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that 
 have 'not called upon thy name. 
 
 7 For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste 
 his dwelling-place. 
 
 8 m (3 remember not against us || former iniqui- 
 ties: let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us: 
 for we are " brought very low. 
 
 9 "Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory 
 of thy name : and deliver us, and purge away our 
 sins, ; 'for thy name's sake. 
 
 10 'Wherefore should the heathen say, Where 
 is their God? let him be known among the heathen 
 in our sight by the f revenging of the blood of thy 
 servants which is shed : 
 
 11 Let r the sighing of the prisoner come before 
 thee; according to the greatness of fthy power 
 f preserve thou those that are appointed to die ; 
 
 12 And render unto our neighbours 'seven-fold 
 into their bosom 'their reproach, wherewith they 
 have reproached thee, O Lord. 
 
 13 So "we thy people and sheep of thy pasture 
 will give thee thanks for ever: *we will shew forth 
 thy praise f to all generations. 
 
 PSALM LXXX. 
 
 The Psalmist complaineth of the miseries of the church. 
 1f To the chief Musician * upon Shoshannimeduth, A Psalm || of 
 
 Asaph. 
 
 GIVE ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest 
 Joseph "like a flock; ''thou that dwellest be- 
 tween the cherubims, c shine forth. 
 
The psalmist prayeth for deliverance. 
 
 2 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh 
 stir up thy strength, and fcome and save us. 
 
 3 'Turn us again, God, 'and cause thy face to 
 shine ; and we shall be saved. 
 
 4 Lord God of hosts, how long f wilt thou be 
 angry against the prayer of thy people ? 
 
 5 *Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; 
 and givest them tears to drink in great measure. 
 
 6 Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours : 
 and our enemies laugh among themselves. 
 
 7 'Turn us again, 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 planted it. 
 
 9 Thou '" preparedst room before it, and didst cause 
 it to take deep root, and it filled the land. 
 
 1 The hills were covered with the shadow of it, 
 and the boughs thereof were like f the goodly cedars. 
 
 11 She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and 
 her branches "unto the river. 
 
 12 Why hast thou then "broken down her hedges, 
 so that all they which pass by the way do pluck 
 her? 
 
 13 The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and 
 the wild beast of the field doth devour it. 
 
 14 Return, we beseech thee, God of hosts : ''look 
 down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine ; 
 
 15 And the vineyard which thy right hand hath 
 planted, and the branch that thou madest 'strong 
 tor thyself. 
 
 16 It is burnt with fire, it is cut down: 'they 
 perish at the rebuke of th}' - countenance. 
 
 17 'Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right 
 nand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong 
 for thyself. 
 
 18 So will not we go back from thee : quicken 
 as, and we will call upon thy name. 
 
 19 'Turn us again, Lord God of hosts, cause 
 thy face to shine ; and we shall be saved. 
 
 PSALM LXXXL 
 
 An exhortation to a solemn praising of God. 
 
 % To the chief Musician * upon Gittith, 
 
 A Psalm of || Asaph. 
 
 SING aloud unto God our strength : make a joy- 
 ful noise unto the God of Jacob. 
 
 2 Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, 
 the pleasant harp with the psaltery. 
 
 3 Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the 
 time appointed, on our solemn feast-day. 
 
 4 For "this was a statute for Israel, and a law of 
 the God of Jacob. 
 
 5 This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, 
 when he went out || through the land of Egypt : 
 ' where I heard a language that I understood not. 
 
 6*1 removed his shoulder from the burden : his 
 hands t were delivered rf from the pots. 
 
 7 'Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; 
 J \ answered thee in the secret place of thunder : I 
 'proved thee at the waters of || Meribah. Selah. 
 
 8 * Heai-, my people, and I will testify unto 
 thee : Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me ; 
 
 9 'There shall no * strange god be in thee; neither 
 shalt thou worship any strange god. 
 
 10 'I am the Lord thy God which brought thee 
 out of the land of Egypt : '" open thy mouth wide, 
 and 1 will fill it. 
 
 11 But my people would not hearken to my 
 voice , and Israel would "none of me.

 T[A Song or Psalm || of Asaph. 
 
 KEEP "not thou silence, O God: hold not thy 
 peace, and be not still, O God. 
 
 2 For lo, 'thine enemies make a tumult; and they 
 that c hate thee have lifted up the head. 
 
 3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy 
 people, and consulted d against thy hidden ones. 
 
 4 They have said, Come, and 'let us cut them off 
 from being a nation; that the name of Israel may 
 be no more in remembrance. 
 
 5 For they have consulted together with one 
 f consent: they are confederate against thee: 
 
 6 ■'The tabernacles of Edom, and the Islnnael- 
 ites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes; 
 
 7 Gebal, and Amnion, and Amalek; the Philis- 
 tines with the inhabitants of Tyre; 
 
 8 Assur also is joined with them : f they have 
 holpen the children of Lot. Selah. 
 
 y Do unto them as unto the ^Midianites; as to 
 '' Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison : 
 
 10 Which perished at En-dor: 'they became as 
 dung for the earth. 
 
 11 Make their nobles like *Oreb, and like Zeeb: 
 yea, all their princes as 'Z^bah, and as Zalmunna: 
 
 12 Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses 
 of God in possession. 
 
 13 '"0 my God, make them like a wheel; "as the 
 stubble before the wind. 
 
 14 As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame 
 "setteth the mountains on fire; 
 
 15 So persecute them ^with thy tempest, and 
 make them afraid with thy storm. 
 
 16 9 Fill their faces with shame; that they may 
 seek thy name, O Lord. 
 
 88.' 
 
David's confidence in God: 
 
 17 Let them be confounded and troubled foi 
 ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish: 
 
 18 r That men may know that thou, whose 'name 
 alone is JEHOVAH, art 'the Most High over all 
 the earth.

 10 For a day in thy courts is better than a thou- 
 sand, f I had rather be a door-keeper in the house

 founded them. 
 
 12 ''The north and the south thou hast created 
 them: 'Tabor and ' llermon shall rejoice in thy nam<» 
 
 13 Thou hast fa mighty arm : strong is thy hand, 
 and high is thy right hand. 
 
 14 'Justice and judgment are the || habitation of thy 
 throne: 'mercy and truth shall go before thy face. 
 
 15 Blessed is the people that know the "joyful 
 sound : they shall walk, O Lord, in the x light of thy 
 countenance. 
 
 16 In thy name shall they rejoice all the day : 
 and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted. 
 
 17 For thou art the glory of their strength; ^and 
 in thy favour our horn shall be exalted. 
 
 18 For ||the Lord is our defence; and the Holy 
 One of Israel is our King. 
 
 19 Then thou spakest in vision to thy Holy One, 
 and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is might}' ; 
 I have exalted one * chosen out of the people. 
 
 20 "I have found David my servant; with my 
 holy oil have I anointed him : 
 
 21 4 With whom my hand shall be established : 
 mine arm also shall strengthen him. 
 
 22 c The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor 
 the son. of wickedness afflict him. 
 
 23 ''And I will beat down his foes before his 
 face, and plague them that hate him. 
 
 24 But 'my faithfulness and my mercy shall be 
 with him: ancKin my name shall his horn be exalted. 
 
 25 s I will set his hand also in the sea, and his 
 right hand in the rivers. 
 
 26 He shall cry unto me, Thou art A my Father, 
 my God, and 'the Rock of my salvation. 
 
 27 Also I will make him k my first-born, 'higher 
 than the kings of the earth. 
 
 28 '"My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, 
 and "my covenant shall stand fast with him. 
 
 29 "His seed also will I make to endure for ever, 
 A and his throne ? as the days of heaven. 
 
 30 'If his children 'forsake my law, and walk 
 not in my judgments ; 
 
 31 If they t break my statutes, and keep not my 
 commandments ; 
 
 32 Then 'will I visit their transgression with 
 the rod, and their iniquity with stripes. 
 
 33 "Nevertheless, my loving-kindness fwill I 
 not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithful- 
 ness f t° fail. 
 
 34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the 
 thing that is gone out of my lips. 
 
 35 Once have I sworn *by my holiness fthat 
 I will not lie unto David. 
 
 36 y His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne 
 ^as the sun before me. 
 
 37 It shall be established for ever as the moon, 
 and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah. 
 
 38 But thou hast "cast off and * abhorred, thou 
 hast been wroth with thine anointed. 
 
 39 Thou hast made void the covenant of thy 
 servant : c thou hast profaned his crown by casting it 
 to the ground. 
 
 40 ''Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou

 TORD, "thou hast been our dwelling-place fin all 
 -J generations. 
 
 2 *Before the mountains were brought forth, or 
 ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, 
 even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. 
 
 3 Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, 
 'Return, ye children of men. 
 
 i ''For a. thousand years in thy sight are but as yes-

 5 Thou earnest them away as with a flood; 'they 
 are as a sleep ; in the morning J they are like grass 
 which || groweth up. 
 
 6 f 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 ''Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our 
 'secret sins in the light of thy countenance. 
 
 9 For all our days are f passed away in thy wrath : 
 we spend our years, || as a tale that is told. 
 
 10 fThe days of our years arc threescore years 
 and ten; and if by reason of strength they be four- 
 score years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; 
 for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. 
 
 11 Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even 
 according to thy fear so is thy wrath. 
 
 12 fc So teach us to number our days, that we may 
 f apply our hearts unto wisdom.

 3 I will set no f wicked thing before mine even :

 not cleave to me. 
 
 4 A froward heart shall depart from me : I will 
 not S know a wicked person. 
 
 5 Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him 
 will I cut off: *him that hath an high look and a 
 proud heart will not I suffer. 
 
 6 Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, 
 that they may dwell with me : he that walketh || in 
 a perfect way, he shall serve me.

 The mercies of God are to be recorded. 
 
 \ A prayer || of the afflicted, * when he is overwhelmed, and

 HEAR my prayer, O Lord, and let my cry " come 
 unto thee. 
 
 2 'Hide not thy face from me in the day when ! 
 am in trouble; "incline thine ear unto me: in the 
 day when I call, answer me speedily. 
 
 3 ''For my da3's are consumed || like smoke, and 
 c my bones are burned as an hearth. 
 
 4 My heart is smitten, and •? withered like grass; 
 so that I forget to eat my bread. 
 
 5 By reason of the voice of my groan/ing s my 
 bones cleave to my || skin. 
 
 6 I am like 'a pelican of the wilderness: I am 
 like an owl of the desert. 
 
 7 I * watch, and am as a sparrow 'alone upon the 
 house-top. 
 
 8 Mine enemies reproach me all the day ; and they 
 that are m mad against me are "sworn against me. 
 
 9 For I have eaten ashes like bread, and "mingled 
 my drink with weeping, 
 
 10 Because of thine indignation and thy wrath' 
 for ''thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down. 
 
An exhortation to okss God. 
 
 11 i My days are like a shadow that deolineth; 
 and 'I am withered like grass. 
 
 12 But 'thou, Lord, shalt endure for ever; and 
 thy 'remembrance unto all generations. 
 
 13 Thou shalt arise, and "have mercy upon Zion; 
 for the time to favour her, yea, the *set time, is come. 
 
 14 For thy servants take pleasure in y her stones, 
 and favour the dust thereof. 
 
 15 So the heathen shall *fear the name of the 
 Lord ; and all the kings of the earth thy glory. 
 
 16 When the Lord shall build up Zion, "he shall 
 appear in his glory. 
 
 17 4 He will regard the prayer of the destitute, 
 and not despise their prayer. 
 
 18 This shall be c written for the generation to 
 come; and ''the people which shall be created shall 
 praise the Lord. 
 
 19 For he hath 'looked down from the height of his 
 sanctuary ; from heaven did the Lord behold the earth ; 
 
 20 ^'To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose 
 t those that are appointed to death ; 
 
 21 To s declare the name of the Lord in Zion, and 
 his praise in Jerusalem; 
 
 22 When the people are gathered together, and 
 the kingdoms, to serve the Lord. 
 
 23 He t weakened my strength in the way; he 
 K shortened my days. 
 
 24 ' 1 said, my God, take me not away in the 
 midst of my days: Hhy years are throughout all 
 generations. 
 
 25 'Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the 
 earth : and the heavens are the work of thy hands. 
 
 26 m They shall perish, but "thou shalt f endure: 
 yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as 
 a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be 
 changed : 
 
 27 But "thou art the same, and thy years shall 
 have no end. 
 
 28 /'The children of thy servants shall continue, 
 and their seed shall be established before thee.

 1[ A Psalm of David. 
 
 BLESS a the Lord, my soul: and all that is 
 within me, bless his holy name. 
 
 2 Bless the Lord, my soul, and forget not all 
 bis benefits : 
 
 3 6 Who forgive th all thine iniquities ; who 'healeth 
 all thy diseases; 
 
 4 Who ''redeemeth thy life from destruction; 
 'who crowneth thee with loving-kindness and tender 
 mercies ; 
 
 5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so 
 that 7 thy youth is renewed like the eagle's. 
 
 *The Lord executeth righteousness and judg- 
 ment for all that are oppressed. 
 
 7 h He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts 
 unto the children of Israel. 
 
 8 'The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to 
 anger, and f plenteous in mercy. 
 
 9 *He will not always chide; neither will he keep 
 his anger for ever. 
 
 10 'He hath not dealt with us after our sins; 
 nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. 
 
 11 m For fas the heaven is high above the earth, 
 so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. 
 
 12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath 
 he "removed our transgressions from us.

 1G Moreover "he called for a famine upon the 
 land: he brake the whole ''staff of bread. 
 
 17 «He sent a man before them, even Joseph, 
 who r was sold for a servant: 
 
 18 'Whose feet they hurt with fetters: fhe was 
 laid in iron : 
 
 19 Until the time that his word came: 'the word 
 of the Lord tried him. 
 
 20 u 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 f substance : 
 
 22 To bind his princes at his pleasure ; and teach 
 his senators wisdom. 
 
 23 y Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob 
 sojourned 2 in the land of Ham. 
 
 24 And °he increased his people greatly; and 
 made them stronger than their enemies. 
 
 25 6 He turned their heart to hate his people, to 
 deal subtilly with his servants. 
 
 26 c He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron 
 ''whom he had chosen. 
 
 27 'They shewed this signs among them, •''and 
 wonders in the land of Ham. 
 
 28 *He sent darkness, and made it dark; and 
 h they rebelled not against his word. 
 
 29 'He turned their waters into blood, and slew 
 their fish. 
 
 30 * Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, 
 in the chambers of their kings. 
 
 31 'He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, 
 and lice in all their coasts. 
 
 32 '" f He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire 
 in their land. 
 
 33 "He smote their vines also and their fig-trees; 
 and brake the trees of their coasts. 
 
 34 *He spake, and the locusts came, and cater- 
 pillars, and that without number, 
 
 35 And did eat up all the herbs in their land, 
 and devoured the fruit of their ground. 
 
 36 p lie smote also all the first-born in their land, 
 Hhe chief of all their strength. 
 
 37 'He brought them forth also with silver and 
 gold : and there was not one feeble person among 
 their tribes. 
 
 38 'Egypt was glad when they departed: for the 
 fear of them fell upon them. 
 
 39 'He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire 
 to give light in the night. 
 
 40 " The people asked, and he brought quails, and 
 x satisfied them with the bread of heaven. 
 
 41 y He opened the rock, and the waters gushea 
 out; they ran in the dry places like a river. 
 
 42 For he remembered z his holy promise, ana 
 Abraham his servant. 
 
 43 And he brought forth his people with joy, 
 and his chosen with f gladness : 
 
 44 "And gave them the lands of the heathen* 
 and they inherited the labour of the people; 
 
 45 6 That they might observe his statutes, and 
 keep his laws, f Praise ye the Lord. 
 
 PSALM CVI. 
 
 The Psalmist exhorteth to praise God. 
 
 PRAISE f ye the Lord. °0 *give thanks unto 
 the Lord: for he is good : for his mercy endureth 
 for ever. 
 
 2 'Who can utter the mighty acts of the Lord? 
 who can shew forth all his praise? 
 
UJ Israels rebellion, 
 
 3 Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he 
 that ''doeth righteousness at 'all times. 
 
 4 •/"Remember me, Lord, with the favour that 
 thou dearest unto thy people: visit me with thy 
 salvation; 
 
 5 That I may see the good of thy chosen, that 
 1 may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that I 
 may glory with thine inheritance. 
 
 6 s We have sinned with our fathers, we have 
 committed iniquity, we have done wickedly. 
 
 7 Our fathers understood not thy wonders in 
 Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of thy 
 mercies ; A but provoked him at the sea, even at the 
 Red sea. 
 
 8 Nevertheless he saved them 'for his name's sake, 
 *that he might make his mighty power to be known. 
 
 9 'He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried 
 |i\p : so m he led them through the depths, as through 
 the wilderness. 
 
 10 And he "saved them from the hand of him 
 that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand 
 cf the enemy. 
 
 11 'And the waters covered their enemies: there 
 <ras not one of them left. 
 
 12 ''Then believed they his words; they sang 
 l iis praise. 
 
 13 « f They soon forgat his works, they waited 
 not for his counsel : 
 
 14 r But f lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, 
 and tempted God in the desert. 
 
 1& 'And he gave them their request; but 'sent 
 leanness into their soul. 
 
 16 "They envied Moses also in the camp, and 
 Aaron the saint of the Lord. 
 
 17 a 'The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, 
 and covered the company of Abiram. 
 
 18 "And a fire was kindled in their company; 
 the flame burned up the wicked. 
 
 19 *They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped 
 the molten image. 
 
 20 Thus "they changed their glory into the 
 similitude of an ox that eateth grass. 
 
 21 They 'forgat God their saviour, which had 
 done great things in Egypt; 
 
 22 Wondrous works in c the land of Ham, and 
 terrible things by the Red sea. 
 
 23 d Therefore he said that he would destroy 
 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 ^fthe pleasant land, they 
 ' believed not his word : 
 
 25 A But murmured in their tents, and hearkened 
 Qot unto the voice of the Lord. 
 
 26 ' Therefore he k lifted up his hand against them, 
 to overthrow them in the wilderness : 
 
 27 f'To overthrow their seed also among the 
 nations, and to scatter them in the lands. 
 
 28 "'They joined themselves also unto Baal-peor, 
 and ate the sacrifices of the dead. 
 
 29 Thus the) T provoked him to anger with their 
 inventions : and the plague brake in upon them. 
 
 30 "Then stood up Phinehas, and executed 
 judgment: and so the plague was stayed. 
 
 31 And that was counted unto him "for righteous- 
 ness unto all generations for evermore. 
 
 32 ''They angered him also at the waters of strife, 
 *so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:

 whom the Lord commanded them : 
 
 35 " But were mingled among the heathen, and 
 learned their works. 
 
 30 And •'"they served their idols: "which were a 
 snare unto them. 
 
 37 Yea, *they sacrificed their sons and theii 
 daughters unto "devils, 
 
 38 And shed innocent blood, even the blood ot 
 their sons and of their daughters, whom they 
 sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and *the laid 
 was polluted with blood. 
 
 39 Thus were they c defiled with their own works, 
 and rf went a whoring with their own inventions. 
 
 40 Therefore 'was the wrath of the Lord kindled 
 against his people, insomuch that he abhorred ^"his 
 own inheritance. 
 
 41 And 'he gave them into the hands of the hea-

 43 ''Many times did he deliver them; but they

 . PSALM CVII. 
 
 The Psalmist exhortelh, in praising God, to observe his providence 
 
 0°GIVE thanks unto the Lord, for b he is good: 
 for his mercy endureth for ever. 
 
 2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, 'whom 
 he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy; 
 
 3 And ''gathered them out of the lands, from the 
 east, and from the west, from the north, and f from 
 the south. 
 
 4 They 'wandered in 'the wilderness in a solitary 
 way ; they found no city to dwell in. 
 
 5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them. 
 
 6 s Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, 
 and he delivered them out of their distresses. 
 
 7 And he led them forth by the h right waj r , that 
 they might go to a city of habitation. 
 
 8 'O that men would praise the Lord for his 
 goodness, and for his wonderful works to the 
 children of men ! 
 
 9 For *he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth 
 the hungry soul with goodness. 
 
 10 Such as 'sit in darkness and in the shadow 
 of death, being m bound in affliction and iron; 
 
 11 Because they "rebelled against the words of 
 God, and contemned "the counsel of the Most High ; 
 
 12 Therefore he brought down their heart with 
 labour; they fell down, and there was A none to help. 
 
 13 * Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, 
 and he saved them out of their distresses. 
 
 380 
 
God's manifold providence. 
 
 14 ' lie brought them out of darkness and the 
 shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder. 
 
 15 'Oh that men would praise the Lord for his 
 goodness, and for his wonderful works to the 
 children of men! 
 
 16 For he hath 'broken the gates of brass, and 
 cut the bars of iron in sunder. 
 
 17 Fools, "because of their transgression, and 
 because of their iniquities are afflicted. 
 
 18 * Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; 
 and they y draw near unto the gates of death. 
 
 19 x Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, 
 and he saveth them out of their distresses. 
 
 20 "He sent his word, and 'healed them, and 
 'delivered them from their destructions. 
 
 21 ''Oh that men would praise the Lord for his 
 goodness, and for his wonderful works to the 
 children of men! 
 
 22 And 'let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanks- 
 giving, and •''declare his works with f rejoicing. 
 
 23 They that go down to the sea in ships, that 
 do business in great waters ; 
 
 24 These see the works of the Lord, and his 
 wonders in the deep. 
 
 25 For he commandeth and f raise th the stormy 
 wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof. 
 
 26 They mount up to the heaven, they go down 
 again to the depths : '' their soul is melted because 
 of trouble. 
 
 27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a 
 drunken man, and f are at their wit's end. 
 
 28 'Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, 
 and he bringeth them out of their distresses. 
 
 29 *He maketh the storm a calm, so that the 
 waves thereof are still. 
 
 30 Then are they glad because they be quiet; 
 so he bringeth them unto their desired haven. 
 
 31 'Oh that men would praise the Lord for his 
 goodness, and for his wonderful works to the 
 children of men! 
 
 32 Let them exalt him also m in the congregation 
 of the people, and 
 the elders. 
 
 33 He "turneth rivers into a 
 ih«j water-springs into dry ground; 
 
 34 A "fruitful land into f barrenness, for the 
 Vi lckedness of them that dwell therein. 
 
 35 ^He turneth the wilderness into a 
 .vater, and dry ground into water-springs. 
 
 36 And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, 
 that they may prepare a city for habitation; 
 
 37 And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, 
 which may yield fruits of increase. 
 
 38 9 He blesseth them also, so that they r are 
 multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle 
 to decrease. 
 
 39 Again, they are 'minished and brought low 
 through oppression, affliction, and sorrow. 
 
 40 'He poureth contempt upon princes, and

 there is no way. 
 
 41 "Yet setteth he the poor on liigh ||from

 which thou hast caused me to 'hope. 
 
 50 This is my 'comfort in my affliction: for thy 
 word hath quickened me.

 yet have I not " declined from thy law. 
 
 52 I remembered thy judgments of old, Lord; 
 and have comforted myself. 
 
 53 * Honor hath taken hold upon me because of 
 the wicked that forsake thy law. 
 
 54 Thy statutes have been my songs in the house 
 of my pilgrimage.

 unto thy testimonies.

 commandments. 
 
 61 The || bands of the wicked have robbed me:

 1 will keep thy precepts with my whole heart.

 PSALM CXXXVII. 
 
 The constancy of the Jews in captivity. 
 
 BY the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, 
 we wept, when we remembered Zion. 
 
 2 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the 
 midst thereof. 
 
 3 For there they that carried us away captive re- 
 quired of us fa song ; and they that f "wasted us requir- 
 ed of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion 
 
 4 How shall we sing the Lord's song in a f strange 
 land ? 
 
 5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand 
 forget her cunning. 
 
 o If I do not remember thee, let my 'tongue 
 cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not 
 Jerusalem above f my chief joy. 
 
 7 Remember, O Lord, c the children of Edom in 
 the day of Jerusalem ; who said, f Rase it, rase it, 
 even to the foundation thereof. 
 
 8 O daughter of Babylon, rf who art to be f de- 
 stroyed; happy shall he be, f'that rewardeth theo 
 as thou hast served us. 
 
 9 Happy shall he be that taketh and^dasheth thy 
 little ones against fthe stones. 
 
 PSALM CXXXVIII. 
 
 David praiseth God for the truth of his word. 
 If A Psalm of David. 
 
 I WILL praise thee with my whole heart : ' before 
 the gods will I sing praise unto thee. 
 2 ' I will worship c toward thy holy temple, and 
 
Of Coifs all-seeing providence. 
 
 praise thy name for thy loving-kindness ana for thy 
 truth : for thou hast 'magnified thy word above all 
 thy name. 
 
 3 In the day when I cried thou snsweredst me, 
 and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul. 
 
 4 'All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, 
 Lord, when they hear the words of thy mouth. 
 
 5 Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the Lord : 
 for great is the glory of the Lord. 
 
 6 J Though the Lord be high, vet f hath he respect 
 unto the lowly: but the proud lie knoweth afar off. 
 
 7 * Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou 
 wilt revive me : thou shalt stretch forth thine hand 
 against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right 
 hand shall save me. 
 
 8 'The Lord will perfect that tvhich concerneth 
 me: thy mercy, Lord, endureth for ever: * forsake 
 not the works of thine own hands. 
 
 PSALM CXXXIX. 
 
 David praiselh Ood for his all-seeing providence. 
 ^ To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. 
 
 OLORD, " thou hast searched me, and known me. 
 2 *Thou knowest my down-sitting and mine 
 up-rising, thou 'undurstandest my thought afar off. 
 
 3 d Thou || compassest my path and my lying 
 down, and art acquainted with all my ways. 
 
 4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but lo, 
 Lord, 'thou knowest it altogether. 
 
 5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid 
 thine hand upon me. 
 
 6 J 'Such knowledge is too wonderful for me ; it is 
 high, I cannot attain unto it. 
 
 7 s Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? or whither 
 shall \ flee from thy presence ? 
 
 8 ''If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there : 'if 
 I make my bed in hell, behold thou art there. 
 
 9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell 
 m the uttermost parts of the sea; 
 
 10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy 
 right hand shall hold me. 
 
 11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; 
 even the night shall be light about me. 
 
 12 Yea, *the darkness fhideth not from thee; 
 but the night shineth as the day : f the darkness 
 and the light are both alike to thee. 
 
 13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast 
 covered me in my mother's womb. 
 
 14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and 
 wonderfully made : marvellous are thy works; and 
 that my soul knoweth | right well. 
 
 15 'My || substance was not hid from thee, when 
 [ was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the 
 lowest parts of the earth. 
 
 16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being 
 imperfect; and in thy book fall my members were 
 written, || which in continuance were fashioned, when 
 as yet there was none of them. 
 
 17 '"How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, 
 God! how great is the sum of them! 
 
 18 If I should count them, they are more in num- 
 ber than the sand : when I awake, 1 am still with thee. 
 
 19 Surely thou wilt "slay the wicked, God: 
 ' depart from me therefore, ye bloody men. 
 
 20 For they speak p against thee wickedly, and 
 thine enemies take thy name in vain. 
 
 21 «Do not I hate them, Lord, that hate thee? 
 and am not I grieved with those that rise up against 
 thee?

 25 But ye 'have set at nought all my counsel

 CHAP. II. 
 
 Wisdom promiseth godliness to her children. 
 
 MY son, if thou wilt receive my words, and "hide 
 my commandments with thee; 
 
 2 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and 
 apply thine heart unto understanding; 
 
 3 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and f liftest 
 up thy voice for understanding; 
 
 4 *If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest 
 for her as for hid treasures; 
 
 5 Then shaft thou understand the fear of the 
 Lord, and find the knowledge of God. 
 
 6 'For the Lord giveth wisdom : out of his mouth 
 cometh knowdedge and understanding. 
 
 7 He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: 
 ''he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly. 
 
 8 He keepeth the paths of judgment, and ' pre- 
 serveth the way of his saints. 
 
 9 Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and 
 judgment, and equity; yea, every good path. 
 
 10 If When wisdom entereth into thine heart, 
 and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; 
 
 11 Discretion shall preserve thee, ^'understanding 
 shall keep thee : 
 
 12 To deliver thee from the way of the evil 
 man, from the man that speaketh froward things ; 
 
 13 Who leave the paths of uprightness, to* walk 
 in the ways of darkness; 
 
 14 Who A rejoice to do evil, and 'delight in the 
 frowardness of the wicked; 
 
 15 * Whose ways are crooked, and they froward 
 in their paths : 
 
 16 To deliver thee from 'the strange woman, 
 m eien from the stranger which flattereth with her 
 wcrds; 
 
 17 "Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and 
 forgetteth the covenant of her God 
 
The nappy gain of wisdom • C 
 
 18 For "her house inclineth unto death, and her 
 paths unto the dead. 
 
 19 None that go unto her return again, neither 
 take they hold of the paths of life. 
 
 20 That thou mayest walk in the \va} r of good 
 men, and keep the paths of the righteous. 
 
 21 /"For the upright shall dwell in the land, and 
 the perfect shall remain in it. 
 
 22 'But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, 
 and the transgressors shall be || rooted out of it.

 An exhortation to obedience, faith, and mortification. 
 
 Y son, forget not my law; "but let thine heart 
 keep my commandments : 
 
 2 For length of days, and flong life, and * peace 
 6hall they add to thee. 
 
 3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: 'bind 
 them about thy neck; ''write them upon the table 
 of thine heart : 
 
 4 'So shalt thou find favour and || good under- 
 standing in the sight of God and man. 
 
 5 V Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; *and 
 lean not unto thine own understanding. 
 
 6 A ln all thy ways acknov/ledge him, and he shall 
 direct thy paths. 
 
 7 Hi* Be not wise in thine own eyes: 'fear the 
 Lord, and depart from evil. 
 
 8 It shall be f health to thy n^vel, and f m marrow 
 to thy bones. 
 
 9 " Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with 
 the first-fruits of all thine increase : 
 
 10 " So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and 
 tlry presses shall burst out with new wine. 
 
 11 If My son, despise not the chastening of the 
 Lord ; neither be weary of his correction : 
 
 12 For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth ; 
 ? even as a father the son in whom he delighteth. 
 
 13 IT r Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and 
 fthe man that getteth understanding. 
 
 14 'For the merchandise of it is better than the 
 merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than 
 
 tine gold. 
 15 She 
 
 is 
 thou 
 
 more precious than rubies : and f all the 
 canst desire are not to be compared 
 
 things 
 unto her. 
 
 16 "Length of days is in her right hand; and in 
 her left hand riches and honour. 
 
 17 ^Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all 
 her paths are peace. 
 
 18 She is a y tree of life to them that lay hold upon 
 her : and happy is every one that retaineth her. 
 
 19 x The Lord by wisdom hath founded the earth ; 
 by understanding hath he || established the heavens. 
 
 20 "By his knowledge the depths are broken up, 
 and *the clouds drop down the dew. 
 
 21 If My son, let not them depart from thine eyes : 
 keep sound wisdom and discretion : 
 
 22 So shall they be life unto thy soul, and 'grace 
 to thy neck. 
 
 23 d Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and 
 thy foot shall not stumble. 
 
 24 ' When thou liest down thou shalt not be afraid : 
 yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet. 
 
 25 J Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the 
 desolation of the wicked, when it cometh. 
 
 26 For the Lord shall be thy confidence, and 
 shall keep thy foot from being taken.

 HEAR, "ye children, the instruction of a father,

 2 For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not

 3 For I was my father's son, * tender and only 
 beloved in the sight of my mother. 
 
 4 c IIe taught me also, and said unto me, Let

 6 IF For at, the window of my house I looked 
 through my casement, * 
 
 7 And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned 
 among fthe youths, a young man ■''void of under- 
 standing, 
 
 8 Passing through the street near her corner; and 
 he went the way to her house, 
 
 P * In the twilight, fin the evening, in the black 
 and dark night: 
 
 10 And behold, there met him a woman with the 
 attire of an harlot, and subtile of heart. 
 
 11 ( A She is loud and stubborn; 'her feet abide 
 not in her house : 
 
 12 Now is she without, now in the streets, and 
 lieth in Avait at every corner.) 
 
 13 So she caught him, and kissed him, and fwith 
 an impudent face said unto him, 
 
 14 i I have peace-offerings 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 decked my bed with coverings of tap- 
 estry, with carved works, with *fine linen of Egypt. 
 
 17 1 have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, 
 and cinnamon. 
 
 18 Come, let us take our fill of love until the 
 morning: let us solace ourselves with loves. 
 
 19 For the good-man is not at home, he is gone 
 a long journey : 
 
 20 He hath taken a bag of money fwith him, 
 and will come home at the || day appointed. 
 
 21 With 'her much fair speech she caused him to 
 yield, m with the flattering of her lips she forced him. 
 
 22 He goeth after her f straightway, as an ox 
 goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction 
 of the stocks : 
 
 23 Till a dart strike through his liver; "as a bird 
 hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for 
 his life. 
 
 24 IT Hearken unto me now therefore, ye 
 children, and attend to the words of my mouth. 
 
 25 Let not thine heart decline to her 
 not astray in her paths. 
 
 26 For she hath cast down many wounded : yea, 
 'many strong men have been slain by her.

 the chambers of death.

 4 Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to 
 the sons of man. 
 
 5 O ye simple, understand wisdom: and ye fools, 
 be ye of an understanding heart. 
 
 6 Hear; for 1 will speak of 'excellent things; 
 and the opening of my lips shall ha right things. 
 
 7 For my mouth shall speak truth : and wicked 
 ness is fan abomination to my lips. 
 
 8 All the words of my mouth are in righteous- 
 ness; there is nothing ffiowardor perverse in them. 
 
 9 They are all plain to him that understandeth, 
 and right to them that find knowledge. 
 
 10 Receive my instruction, and not silver; and 
 knowledge rather than choice gold. 
 
 11 c For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the 
 things that may be desired are not to be compared 
 to it. 
 
 12 I Wisdom dwell with || prudence, and find out 
 knowledge of witty inventions. 
 
 13 ''The fear of the Lord is to hate eA'il: 'pride, 
 and arrogancy, and the evil w T ay, and -/'the froward 
 mouth, do I hate. 
 
 14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom' I am 
 understanding; A 'I have strength. 
 
 15 A By me kings reign, and princes decree justice. 
 
 16 By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the 
 judges of the earth. 
 
 17 'I love them that love me: and *those that 
 seek me early shall find me.- 
 
 18 'Riches and honour are wdth me; yea, durable 
 riches and righteousness. 
 
 19 '"My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine 
 gold ; and my revenue than choice silver. 
 
 20 I || lead in the way of righteousness, in the 
 midst of the paths of judgment : 
 
 21 That I may cause those that love me to in 
 herit substance ; and I will fill their treasures. 
 
 22 "The Lord possessed me in the beginning of 
 his way, before his works of old. 
 
 23 °1 was set up from everlasting, from the be- 
 ginning, or ever the earth was. 
 
 24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth , 
 when there were no fountains abounding with water. 
 
 25 ^ Before the mountains were settled, before the 
 hills was I brought forth : 
 
 26 While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the 
 || fields, nor || the highest part of the dust of the world. 
 
 27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there: 
 when he set || a compass upon the face of the depth : 
 
 28 When he established the clouds above: when 
 he strengthened the fountains of the deep : 
 
 29 ''When he gave to the sea his decree, that the 
 waters should not pass his commandment; when 
 'he appointed the foundations of the earth: 
 
 30 "Then 1 was by him, as one brought up with 
 him: 'and 1 was daily his delight, rejoicing always 
 before him; 
 
 31 Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth: 
 and "my delights were with the sons of men. 
 
 32 How therefore hearken unto me, O ye chil 
 dren: for x blessed are they that keep my ways. 
 
 33 Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not 
 
 34 y Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching 
 daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of m}' doors. 
 
 35 For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall

 CHAP. X. 
 
 From this chapter to the five and twentieth, are sundry observations of 
 moral virtues, and their contrary vices. 
 
 THE proverbs of Solomon. °A wise son maketh 
 a glad father ; but a foolish son is the heaviness 
 of his mother. 
 
 2 * Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: c but 
 righteousness delivereth from death. 
 
 3 d The Lord will not suffer the soul of the 
 righteous to famish : but he casteth away || the 
 substance of the wicked. 
 
 4 ' He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack 
 hand ; but / the hand of the diligent maketh rich. 
 
 5 He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he 
 that sleepeth in harvest is *a son that causeth shame. 
 
 6 Blessings are upon the head of the just: but 
 * violence covereth the mouth of the wicked. 
 
 7 'The memory of the just is blessed: but the 
 Dame of the wicked shall rot. 
 
 8 The wise in heart will receive commandments : 
 *but fa prating fool || shall fall. 
 
 9 'He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: 
 but he that perverteth his ways shall be known. 
 
 10 m He that winketh with the eye causeth sor- 
 row ; n but a prating fool || shall fall. 
 
 11 * The mouth of a righteous man u a well of 
 life: but f violence covereth the mouth of the wicked. 
 
 12 Hatred stirreth up strifes : but ''love covereth 
 ail sins

 J- men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied out. 
 
 2 ° It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but 
 the honour of kings is c to search out a matter. 
 
 3 The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, 
 and the heart of kings \4s unsearchable. 
 
 4 d Take away the dross from the silver, and theie 
 shall come forth a vessel for the finer. 
 
 5 'Take away the wicked from before the king, 
 and J his throne shall be established in righteousness 
 
 6 f Put not forth thyself in the presence of the 
 king, and stand not in the place of great men: 
 
 7 s For better it is that it be said unto thee, Come 
 up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the 
 presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen. 
 
 8 A Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou know 
 not what to do in the end thereof, when thy neigh- 
 bour hath put thee to shame. 
 
 9 'Debate thy cause with thy neighbour himself; 
 and || discover not a secret to another: 
 
 10 Lest he that heareth it put thee to shame, 
 and thine infamy turn not away-. 
 
 11 * A word f fitly spoken is like apples of gold 
 in pictures of silver. 
 
 12 As an ear-ring of gold, and an ornament 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.

 \? Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of

 4 Auswer not a fool according to his folly, lest 
 thou also be like unto him. 
 
 5 rf Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he 
 be wise in f his own conceit. 
 
 6 He that sendeth a message by the hand of a 
 fool cutteth off the feet, and drinketh || damage. 
 
 7 The legs of the lame fare not equal: so is a 
 parable in the mouth of fools. 
 
 8 || As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so is he 
 that giveth honour to a fool. 
 
 9 As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunk- 
 ard, so is a parable in the mouth of fools. 
 
 10 || The great God that formed all things both 
 rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors. 
 
 11 'As a dog returneth to his vomit, J 'so a fool 
 freturneth to his folly. 
 
 12 ^Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? 
 %ere is more hope of a fool than of him. 
 
 13 A The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the 
 way ; a lion is in the streets. 
 
 14 As the door -turneth upon his hinges, so doth 
 the slothful upon his bed. 
 
 15 'The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; 
 U it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth. 
 
 16 The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than 
 seven men that can render a reason. 
 
 17 He thatpasseth by, and || meddleth with strife 
 belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by 
 the ears. 
 
 18 As a mad man who casteth f fire-brands, ar- 
 rows, and death, 
 
 19 So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, 
 and saith, 'Am not I in sport? 
 
 20 f Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out : 
 bo 'where there is no || tale-bearer, the strife f ceaseth. 
 
 21 m As coals are to burning coals, and wood to

 THE "wicked flee when no man pursueth 
 the righteous are 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 that oppresseth the poor is HJte a 
 sweeping rain f which leaveth no food. 
 
 4 c They that forsake the law praise the wicked: 
 but such as keep the law contend with them. 
 
 5 'Evil men understand not judgment: but •'they 
 that seek the Lord understand all things. 
 
 6 s Better is the poor thatwalketh in his uprightness, 
 than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich. 
 
 7 * Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he 
 that His a companion of riotous men shameth his father. 
 
 8 'Hethatbyusuryandtuniustgainincreaseth his sub- 
 stance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor. 
 
 9 *He that turneth away his ear from hearing the 
 law, 'even his prayer shall be abomination. 
 
 10 m Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in 
 an evil way, he shall fall himself in to his own pit: "but 
 the upright shall have good things in possession. 
 
 11 The rich man is wise fin his own conceit; but 
 the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out. 
 
 12 "When righteous men do rejoice, there is great 
 glory: but when the wicked rise, a man is || hidden. 
 
 13 fiHe that covereth his sins shall not prosper : but 
 whoso conf esseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. 
 
 14 Happy is the man "that feareth alway: but 
 r he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief. 
 
 15 Ms a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; 'so is 
 a wicked ruler over the poor people. 
 
 16 The prince that wanteth understanding is also 
 a great oppressor : but he that hateth covetousness 
 ahall prolong his days. 
 
 17 "A man that doeth violence to the blood of any 
 person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him. 
 
 18 * Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved; but 
 • he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once. 
 
 19 *He that tillefch his land shall have plenty of 
 bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall 
 have poverty enough. 
 
 20 A faithful man shall abound with blessings : "but 
 he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be || innocent. 
 
 21 4 To have respect of persons is not good: for, 
 'for a piece of bread that man will transgress. 
 
 22 || '' He that haste th to be rich hath an evil eye, and 
 considereth not that poverty shall come upon him. 
 
 23 'He that rebuketh a man, afterwards shall find 
 more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue. 
 
 24 Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and 
 saith, It is no transgression; the same r is the com- 
 panion of fa destroyer. 
 
 25 e He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: A but 
 he that putteth his trust in the Lord shall be made fat. 
 
 26 He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool : but 
 whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered. 
 
 27 'He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: 
 but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse. 
 
 28 *When the wicked rise, 'men hide themselves: 
 but when they perish, the righteous increase.

 4 r \Vho hath ascended up into heaven, or de- 
 scended? 'who hath gathered the wind in his fists? 
 who hath bound the waters in a garment? 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 fpure: •'he is a shield 
 unto them that put their trust in him. 
 
 G *Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove 
 thee, and thou be found a liar. 
 
 7 Two things have I required of thee; f deny me 
 them not before I die : 
 
 8 Remove far from me vanity and lies ; give me 
 neither poverty nor riches; A feed me with food f con- 
 venient for me : 
 
 9 'Lest I be full, and f deny thee,zxidi say, Who is 
 the Lord? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take 
 the name of my God in vain. 
 
 10 f Accuse not a servant unto his master, lest he 
 curse thee, and thou be found guilty. 
 
 11 There is a generation that curseth their father, 
 and doth not bless their mother. 
 
 12 There is a generation k that are pure in their 
 own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness. 
 
 13 * There is' a, generation, how 'lofty are their 
 eyes ! and their eyelids are lifted up. 
 
 14 m There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, 
 and their jaw-teeth as knives, "to devour the poor 
 from oif the earth, and the needy from among men. 
 
 15 The horse-leech hath two daughters, crying, 
 Give, give. There are three things that are never 
 satisfied, yea, four things say not, \ It is enough: 
 
 16 "The grave; and the barren womb; the earth 
 that is not filled with water; and the fire that saith 
 uot, It is enough. 
 
 17 ^The eye that mocketh at his father, and des- 
 piseth to obe}' his mother, the ravens .of || the valley 
 shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it. 
 
 18 There be three things which are too wonderful 
 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 f midst 
 of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid. 
 
 20 Such is the way of an adulterous woman; 
 she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, 1 have 
 done no wickedness. 
 
 21 For three things the earth is disquieted, uid 
 for four which it cannot bear : 
 
 22 i For a servant when he reigneth ; and a fool 
 when he is filled with meat; 
 
 23 For an odious woman when she is married; 
 and an handmaid that is heir to her mistress. 
 
 24 There be four things which are little upon the 
 earth, but they are f exceeding wise : 
 
 25 r The ants are a people not strong, yet they 
 prepare their meat in the summer; 
 
 26 ' The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they 
 their houses in the rocks; 
 
 27 The locusts have no king, yet go they forth 
 nil of them fby bands; 
 
 28 The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is 
 in kings' palaces. 
 
 29 If There be 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 || f greyhound; an he-goat also; and a king, 
 against whom there is no rising up.

 11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust 
 in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. 
 
 12 She will do him good and not evil all the

 13 She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh 
 willingly with her hands. 
 
 14 She is like the merchants' ships ; she bringeth 
 her food from afar. 
 
 15 " She riseth also while it is yet night, and "giveth 
 meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens

ECCLESIASTES; or, the PREACHER. 
 
 CHAP. I. 
 
 The Preacher sheire/h that all human courses are vain. 
 
 nPIIE words "of the Preacher, the son of David, 
 1- king - in Jerusalem. 
 
 2 6 Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity 
 of vanities; c all is vanity. 
 
 3 d What profit hath a man of all his labour which 
 he taketh under the sun? 
 
 4 One generation passeth away, and another gen- 
 eration cometh: 'but the earth abide th for ever. 
 
 5 J The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, 
 and fhasteth to his place where he arose. 
 
 6 'The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth 
 about nnto the north; it whirleth about continu- 
 ally, and the wind returneth again according to his 
 circuits. 
 
 7 ''All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is 
 not full: unto the place from whence the rivers 
 come, thither they t return again. 
 
 8 All things are full of labour; man cannot 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 whereof it may be said, 
 See, this is new ? it hath been already of old time, 
 which was before us. 
 
 11 There is no remembrance of former things; 
 neither shall there be any remembrance of things 
 that are to come with those that 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 that are done under 
 heaven: m this sore travail hath God given to the 
 sons of man || to be exercised therewith. 
 
 14 I have seen all the works that are done under 
 the sun; and behold all is vanity and vexation of 
 spirit. 
 
 15 " That which is crooked cannot be made straight : 
 and f that which is wanting cannot be numbered. 
 
 16 1 communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo, 
 I am come to great estate, and have gotten "more 
 vvisdom than all they that have been before me in 
 Jerusalem: yea, my heart |had great experience 
 of wisdom and knowledge. 
 
 17 ''And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and 
 to know madness and folly: I perceived that this 
 also is vexation of spirit. 
 
 18 For 9 in much wisdom is much grief: and he 
 that inoreaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.

 5 I made me gardens and orchards, and 1 planted 
 trees in them of all hind of fruits : 
 
 G I made me pools of water, to water therewith 
 the wood that bringeth forth trees : 
 
 7 I got me servants and maidens, and had f ser- 
 vants born in my house; also I had great possen- 
 sions of great and small cattle above all that were 
 in Jerusalem before me; 
 
 8 r I gathered me also silver and gold, and the 
 peculiar treasure of kings, and of the provinces; I 
 gat me men-singers and women-singers, and the de- 
 lights of the sons of men, as f musical instruments, 
 and that of all sorts. 
 
 9 So f l was great, and increased more than all 
 that were before me in Jerusalem : also my wisdom 
 remained with me. 
 
 10 And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not 
 from them, I withheld not my heart from any joy; 
 for my heart rejoiced in all my labour: and 'this 
 was my portion of all my labour. 
 
 11 Then I looked on all the works that my hands 
 had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured 
 to do: and behold, all was * vanity and vexation of 
 spirit, and there was no profit under the sun. 
 
 12 H And I turned myself to behold wisdom, 'and 
 madness, and folly: for what can the man do that 
 cometh after the king? || even that which hath been 
 already done. > 
 
 -13 Then I saw fthat 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 happeneth to them all. 
 
 15 Then sajd I in my heart, As it happeneth to 
 the fool, so it f happeneth 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; seeing that which now is 
 in the days to come shall all be forgotten. And 
 how dieth the wise man? as the fool. 
 
 17 There foi'e I hated life; because the work that 
 is wrought under the sun is grievous unto me : for 
 all is vanity and vexation of spirit. 
 
 18 HYea, I hated all my labour which I had 
 f taken under the sun: because m I should leave it 
 unto the man that shall be after me. 
 
 19 And who knoweth whether he shall be a wise 
 man or a fool? yet shall he have rule over all my 
 labour wherein I have laboured, and wherein I have 
 shewed myself wise under the sun. This is also 
 vanity. 
 
 20 Therefore I went about to cause my heart to 
 despair of all the labour which I took under the sun. 
 
 21 For there is a man whose labour is in wisdom, 
 and in knowledge, and in equity; yet to a man that 
 hath not laboured therein shall he f leave it for his 
 portion. This also is vanity and a great evil. 
 
 22 " For what hath man of all his labour, and of 
 the vexation of his heart, wherein he hath laboured 
 under the sun? 
 
 23 For all his days are "sorrows, and his travail 
 grief; yea, his heart taketh not rest in the night. 
 This is' also vanity. 
 
 24 *$.!' There is nothing better for a ni;in than that 
 he should eat and drink, and that he !| should make his

This also I saw, that

 soul enjoy good in his labour 
 it was from (ho hand of God. 
 
 25 For who can eat, or who else can hasten here- 
 unto more than I? 
 
 2G For God giveth to a man that is good fin his 
 sight, wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the 
 sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, 
 that ''he may give to him that is good before God. 
 This also is vanity and vexation of spirit. 
 CHAP. III. 
 
 The excellency of God's work. 
 
 r PO every thing there is a season, and a "time to 
 JL every purpose under the heaven: 
 
 2 A time fto be born, and * 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 embrace, and c a time fto 
 refrain from embracing; 
 
 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; ''a time to 
 keep silence, and a time to speak; 
 
 8 A time to love, and a time to e hate; a time of 
 war, and a time of peace. 
 
 9 ■''What profit hath he that worketh in that 
 wherein he laboureth? 
 
 10 * I have seen the travail, which God hath 
 given to the sons of men to be exercised in it. 
 
 11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his 
 time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so 
 that ''no man can find out the work that 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 thegood of all his labour; itis the gift of God. 
 
 14 I know that, whatsoever 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 "'That which hath been is now; and that which 
 is to be hath already been ; and God requireth f that 
 which is past. 
 
 16 II And moreover "I saw under the sun the place 
 of judgment, that wickedness was there ; and the 
 place of righteousness, that iniquity was there. 
 
 17 I said in mine heart, "God shall judge the 
 righteous and the wicked : for there is ^a time there 
 for every purpose and for every work. 
 
 18 I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the 
 sons of men, || that God might manifest them, and that 
 they might see that they themselves are beasts. 
 
 19 'tor that which befalleth the sons of men be- 
 falleth beasts ; even one thing befalleth them: as the 
 one dieth, so dieth 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 unto one place; r all are of the dust, 
 and all turn to dust again. 
 
 21 'Who knoweth the spirit f of man that fgoeth 
 upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth down- 
 ward to the earth? 
 
 22 IF' Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing bet- 
 ter, 'ban that a man should rejoice in his own works;

 Vanity is increased unto men by oppression. 
 
 SO I returned, and considered all the "oppressions 
 that are done under the sun: and behold the 
 tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no 
 comforter; and on the fside of their oppressors there 
 was power; but they had no comforter. 
 
 2 ° Wherefore I praised the dead which are alread) 
 dead more than the living wdiich are yet alive. 
 
 3 c Yea, better is he than both they, which hath 
 not yet been, Avho hath not seen the evil work that 
 is done under the sun. 
 
 4 IT Again, I considered all travail, and f every 
 right work, that f for this a man is envied of his neigh- 
 bour. This is also vanity and vexation of spirit. 
 
 5 ''The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth 
 his own flesh. 
 
 6 ''Better is an handful with quietness, than both 
 the hands full with travail and vexation of spirit. 
 
 7 IFThen 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?'s there no 
 end of all his labour ; neither is his J eye satisfied with 
 riches: s neither saith he, For whom do I labour, and 
 bereave my soul of good ? This is also vanity, yea, 
 it is a sore travail. 
 
 9 IF Two are better thnn 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 ha\e 
 heat: but how can one be warm alone? 
 
 12 And if one prevail against him, two shall with 
 stand him ; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken. 
 
 13 IF Better is a poor and a wise child, than an old 
 and foolish king, f who 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 1 considered all the living which walk 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. 
 
 CHAP. V. 
 
 Vanities in divine service, and in murmuring against oppression. 
 
 KEEP "thy foot when thou goest to the hoaso 
 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 thine 
 heart be hasty to utter any II thing before God : for 
 God is in heaven, and thou upon earth : therefore 
 let thy words 'be few. 
 
 3 For a dream cometh through the multitude of 
 business; and ''a fool's voice is known by multitude 
 of words. 
 
 4 'When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not 
 to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools : -^pay that 
 which thou hast vowed. 
 
 5 ^Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than 
 that thou shouldest vow and not pay. 
 
 6 Suffer not thy lnoutn to cause thy Jlesh to b'ti 
 
Ilie vanity of riches. 
 
 OH A P. VI, VII. 
 
 Remedies against vanity. 
 
 'neither say thou before the angel, that it was an 
 error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, 
 and destroy the work of thine hands? 
 
 7 For in the multitude of dreams and many words 
 there are also divers vanities: but 'fear thou God. 
 
 8 If If thou *seest the oppression of the poor, and 
 violent perverting of judgment and justice in a 
 province, marvel not fat the matter: for 'he that 
 is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be 
 higher than they. 
 
 9 If 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 abundance with in- 
 crease : this is also vanity. 
 
 11 When goods increase, they are increased that 
 eat them: and what good is there to the owners 
 thereof, saving the beholding of than with their eyes ? 
 
 12 The sleep of a labouring man is sweet, 
 whether he eat little or much : but the abundance 
 of the rich will not suffer him to sleep. 
 
 13 '"There is a sore evil which I have seen under 
 the sun, namely, riches kept for the owners thereof 
 to their hurt. 
 
 14 But those riches perish hj evil travail : and he 
 begetteth a son, and there is nothing in his hand. 
 
 15 "As he came forth of his mother's womb, 
 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 sore evil, that in all points 
 as he came, so shall he go: and "what profit hath 
 he p that hath laboured for the wind? 
 
 17 All his days also ? he eateth in darkness, and 
 lie hath much sorrow and wrath with his sickness. 
 
 18 If Behold that which I have seen: r- \itis good 
 and comely for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy 
 the good of all his labour that he taketh under the 
 sun fall the days of his life, which God giveth him : 
 ' for it is his portion. 
 
 19 'Every man also to whom God hath given 
 riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat 
 thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his 
 labour; this is the gift of God. 
 
 20 || For he shall not much remember the days of 
 his life; because God answereth him in the joy of 
 his heart.

 ^HERE "is an evil which I have seen under the 
 
 sun, and it is common 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, c yet God giveth him not 
 [tower to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it : this 
 •s vanity, and it is an evil disease. 
 
 3 If if a man beget an hundred children, and live 
 many years, so that the days of his years be many, 
 and his soul be not filled with good, and d also thai 
 he have no burial; I say, that 'an untimely, birth is 
 better than he. 
 
 4 For he cometh in with vanity, and departeth 
 in darkness, and his name shall be covered with 
 .1 irkness. 
 
 5 Moreover he hath not seen the sun, nor known 
 an// thing : this hath more rest than the other. 
 
 6 If \ ea, though he live a thousand years twice told, 
 vet hath he seen no good : do not all go to one placet

 tion of spirit. 
 
 10 That which hath been is named already, and 
 it is known that it is man : ^neither may he contend 
 with him that is mightier than he. 
 
 11 If Seeing there be many things that increase 
 vanity, what is man the better? 
 
 12 For who knoweth what is good for man in 
 this life, fall the days of his vain life which he 
 spendeth as A a shadow? for 'who can tell a man 
 what shall be after him under the sun? 
 
 CHAP. VII. 
 
 Remedies against vanity are, a good name, patience, and wisdom 
 
 A" GOOD name is better than precious ointment; 
 and the day of death than the day of one's 
 birth. 
 
 2 If// is better to go to the house of mourning, 
 than to go to the house of feasting : 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 sad 
 ness of the countenance the heart is made better. 
 
 4 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourn- 
 but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth. 
 
 5 c It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, 
 than for a man to hear the song of fools: 
 
 6 rf For as the f crackling 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 heart. 
 
 8 Better is the end of a thing than the beginning 
 thereof: and - c the patient in spirit is better than the 
 proud in spirit. 
 
 9 «Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry 
 anger resteth in the bosom of fools. 
 
 10 Say not thou, What is the cause that 
 former days were better than these? for thou 
 not inquire f wisely concerning this. 
 
 11 If Wisdom \\is good with an inheritance: 
 b/j it there is profit ''to them that see the sun. 
 
 12 For wisdom is a f defence, and money is a 
 defence r but the excellency of knowledge 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 fset 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 perisheth in his 
 righteousness, and there is a wicked man that pro- 
 longeth hij life in his wickedness. 
 
 16 '" Be not righteous overmuch ; " neither make thj-- 
 self over wise : why shouldest thou f destroy thyself? 
 
 17 Be not over much wicked, neither be thou 
 foolish: "why shouldest thou die fbelore thy time? 
 
 \S It is good that thou shouldest take hold Oi 
 this; yea, also from this withdraw not. thine hand: 
 l'or he -that feareth God shall come forth of them all. 
 
 19 ''Wisdom strengthened the wise more thaD

 : for 
 
 the

 and 
 
r J he difficulty of (jetting wisdom. F C 
 
 20 i For there is not a just man upon earth, that 
 doeth good, and sinneth not. 
 
 21 Also ftake no heed unto nil words that arc 
 spoken: lesl thou hoar thy servant curse thee: 
 
 22 For oftentimes also thine own heart knoweth 
 that thou thyself likewise hast cursed others. 
 
 23 11 All this have I proved by wisdom: r I said, 
 1 will be wise; hut it was far from me. 
 
 24 'That which is far oil", and 'exceeding deep, 
 who can find it out? 
 
 25 f " I applied mine heart to know, and to search, 
 and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, 
 and to know the wickedness of folly, even of fool- 
 ishness and madness: 
 
 2G •'"And I find more hitter than death the woman 
 whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as 
 hands: + whoso pi ease th God shall escape from her; 
 but the sinner shall be taken by her. 
 
 27 Behold, this have I found, saith ,J the Treacher, 
 || counting one by one, to find out the account; 
 
 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 I not found. 
 
 29 Lo, this only have I found, "that God hath 
 made man upright; but 'they have sought out many 
 inventions. 
 
 CHAP. VIII. 
 
 ft is better with the godly in adversity, than with the wicked in prosperity. 
 
 WHO is as the wise man? and who knoweth 
 the interpretation of a thing? "a man's wisdom 
 maketh his face to shine, and f 6 the boldness of his 
 face shall be changed. 
 
 2 I counsel thee to keep the king's commandment, 
 'and that in regard of the oath of God. 
 
 3 d Be not hasty to go out of his sight : stand not in 
 an evil thing; for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him. 
 
 4 Where the word of a king is, there is power: 
 and 'who may say unto him, What doest thou? 
 
 5 Whoso keepeth the commandment f shall feel 
 no evil thins; : and a wise man's heart discerneth 
 both time and judgment. 
 
 6 If Because^o every purpose there is time and judg- 
 ment, therefore the misery of man is great upon him. 
 
 7 g For 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 || discharge in that war; nei- 
 ther shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it. 
 
 9 All this have I seen, and applied my heart unto 
 every work that is done under the sun: there is a 
 lime wherein one man ruleth over another to his 
 own hurt. 
 
 I 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 : 
 • his is also vanity. 
 
 II * Because sentence against an evil work is not 
 executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons 
 nf men is fully set in them to do evil. 
 
 12 If 'Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, 
 and his days be prolonged, yet surely 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 wicked, 
 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

 ing to the work of the righteous: I said that this

 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 mine heart to know wisdom, 
 and to see the business that is done upon the earth : 
 (for also there is that neither day nor night seeth 
 sleep with his eyes:) 
 
 17 Then I beheld all the work of God, that ^a man 
 cannot find out the Avork 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 knowi/, 'yet shall he not be able to find it 
 
 CHAP. IX. 
 
 Like things happen to good and bad. 
 
 I 7011 all this fl considered in my heart even to 
 declare all this, ° that the righteous, and the wise, 
 and their works, are in the hand of God : no man 
 knoweth either love or hatred hy all that is before 
 them. 
 
 2 *A11 things come alike to all: there is one event 
 to the righteous and to the wicked; to the good, and 
 to the clean, and to the unclean; to him that sacrifi- 
 ceth, and to him that saerificeth 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 unto 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 
 c the dead know not any thing, neither have they any 
 more a reward ; for ''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 por- 
 tion 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 merry heart; for God now 
 accepteth thy works. 
 
 8 Let thy garments be always white; and let 
 thy head lack no ointment. 
 
 9 fLive jpy fully with the wife whom thou lovest 
 all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hatli 
 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 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do # with 
 thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor 
 knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou 
 goest. 
 
 11 If I returned/ and saw under the sun, that tho 
 race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, 
 neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men 
 of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; 
 but time and chance happeneth to them all. 
 
 12 For h 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 
 
Of wisdom, foil//, riot, &c.

 snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly 
 upon them. 
 
 13 irThis wisdom have Tseen also under the sun, 
 and it seemed great unto me : 
 
 14 k There was a Utile city, and few men within 
 it; and there came a great king against it, and be- 
 sieged it, and built great bulwarks against it: 
 
 15 Now the^e was found in it a poor wise man, 
 and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no 
 man remembered that same poor man. 
 
 16 'Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: 
 nevertheless m the poor man's wisdom is despised, 
 and his words are not heard. 
 
 17 The words of wise mm are heard in quiet 
 more than the cry of him that ruleth among fools. 
 
 18 "Wisdom is better than weapons of war: but 
 "one sinner destroyeth much good. 
 
 CHAP. X. 
 
 Observations of wisdom, folly, riot, and slothfulness. 
 
 DEAD f flies cause the ointment of the apothecary 
 to send forth a stinking savour : 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 at his left. 
 
 3 Yea also, when he that is a fool walketh by the 
 way, fhis 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 tvhich I haA r e seen under the 
 sun. as an error which proceedeth f from the ruler : 
 
 6 rf Folly is set f in great dignity, and the rich sit 
 in low place. 
 
 7 I have seen servants 'upon horses, and princes 
 walking as servants upon the earth. 
 
 8 •''He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and 
 »vhoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him. 
 
 9 Whoso removeth stones shall be hurt there- 
 with; and he that cleaveth wood shall be endanger- 
 ed thereby. 
 
 10 If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the 
 edge, then must he put to more strength : but wis- 
 dom is profitable to direct. 
 
 11 Surely the serpent will bite s without enchant- 
 ment; and a f babbler is no better. 
 
 12 h The words of a wise man's mouth are t gracious ; 
 but 'the lips of a fool will sAvallow up himself. 
 
 13 The beginning of the words of his mouth is 
 foolishness : and the end of f his talk is mischievous 
 madness. 
 
 14 * A fool also t is 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 IT '"Wo to thee, land, when thy king is a 
 child, and thy princes eat in the morning! 
 
 17 Blessed art thou, land, when thy king is the 
 son of nobles, and "thy princes eat in due season,

 18 IF By much slothfulness the building decayeth; 
 and through idleness of the hands the house drop- 
 peth through.

 3 Because of the savour of thy good ointments 
 thy name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do 
 the virgins love thee. 
 
 4 c Draw me, d Ave will run after thee: the King 
 'hath brought me into his chambers: we will be 
 glad and rejoice in thee, Ave will remember thy love 
 more than Avine : || the upright love thee. 
 
 5 I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of 
 Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of 
 Solomon. 
 
 6 Look not upon me, because I am black, because 
 the sun hath looked upon me : my mother's children 
 were angry with me; they made me the keeper of 
 the vineyards; bid mine oavii vineyard have 1 not 
 kept. 
 
 7 Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where 
 thou feedest, where thou makest thy flock to rest at 
 noon: for Avhy should I be || as one thatturneth aside 
 by the flocks of thy companions? 
 
 8 If If thou know not, ^'0 thou fairest among wo- 
 men, go thy Avay forth by the footsteps of the flock, 
 and feed thy kids beside the shepherds' tents. 
 
 9 I have compared thee, g O my love, A to a com- 
 pany of horses in Pharaoh's chariots. 
 
 10 'Thy cheeks are comely with rows of jewels, 
 thy neck with chains of gold.

 of silver.

 HOW beautiful are thy feet with shoes, " prince's 
 daughter ! the joints of thy thighs are like jew- 
 els, the work of the' hands of a cunning workman. 
 
 2 Thy navel is like a round goblet, which wanteth 
 not f liquor; thy belly is Wee an heap of wheat set 
 about with lilies. 
 
 8 *Thy two breasts are like two young roes that 
 are twins. 
 
 4 c Thy neck is as a tower of ivory; thine eyes 
 like the fash-pools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bath- 
 rabbim : thy nose is as the tower of Lebanon which 
 looketh toward Damascus. 
 
 5 Thine head upon thee is like || Carmel, and the 
 hair of thine head like purple; the King is fheld 
 in the galleries. 
 
 6 How fair and how pleasant art thou, love, 
 for delights! 
 
 7 This thy stature is like to a palm-tree, and thy 
 breasts to fillisters of (/rapes. 
 
 3 I said, I Avill 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 goeth dotvn t sweetly, causing 
 the lips || of those that are asleep to speak. 
 
 10 VI am my beloved's, and e his desire is toward 
 me. 
 
 11 Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the

 OTIIAT thou wert as my brother, that sucked

 thee without, I would kiss thee; yea, f I should not 
 be despised.

 under the apple-tree : there thy mother brought thea 
 forth : there she brought thee forth that bare th<-e.

 upon thine arm : for love is strong as death ; jealousy 
 is f cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals 
 of fire, which hath a most vehement flame. 
 
 7 Many waters cannot quench love, neither can 
 the floods drown it: 7 if a man would give all the 
 substance of his house for love, it would utterly be 
 contemned. 
 
 8 VWe have a little sister, and she hath no 
 breasts : what shall we do for our sister in the day 
 when she shall be spoken for? 
 
 9 If she be a wall, we will build upon her a pal

 her with boards of cedar.

 2 And "it shall come to pass *in the last days, c that 
 the mountain of the Lord's house shall ||be establish- 
 ed in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted 
 above the hills ; rf and all nations shall flow unto it. 
 
 3 And many people shall go and say, 'Come ye, 
 and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to 
 the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach 
 us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths : J 'for 
 out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of 
 the Lord from Jerusalem. 
 
 4 And he shall judge among 
 shall rebuke many people: and 
 their swords into plough-shares, 
 into || pruning-hooks : nation shall not lift up swor< 
 against nation, A neither shall they learn war any more 
 
 5 O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us ' walk in

 6 II Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the

 they || please themselves in the children of strangers. 
 
 7 "Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither 
 is there any end of their treasures; their land is also 
 full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots : 
 
 8 "Their land also is full of idols ; they worship

 fingers have made : 
 
 9 And the mean man boweth down, and Hie great

 10 % p Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust,

 11 The 'lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and 
 the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and 
 the Lord alone shall be exalted 'in that day. 
 
 12 For the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon 
 every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every 
 one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low :

 CHAP. V. 
 
 Under the parable of a vineyard, God excusclh his severe judgment. 
 
 ~VTOW will I sing to my well-beioved a song of 
 -Li my beloved touching "his vineyard. My well- 
 beloved hath a vineyard in t a very fruitful hill : 
 
 2 And he || fenced 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 f made a 
 wine-press therein: A and he looked that it should 
 bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes. 
 
 3 And now, O 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 vine 
 yard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when 1 
 looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it 
 forth wild grapes? 
 
 5 And now go to; I will tell you what I will do 
 to my vineyard : d l will take away the hedge thereof, 
 and it shall be eaten up; and break down the wall 
 thereof, and it shall be f trodden down: 
 
 6 And I will lay it waste : it shall not be 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 the Lord of hosts is the 
 house of Israel, and the men of Judah his f pleasant 
 plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold f op- 
 pression ; for righteousness, but behold a cry. 
 
 8 II Wo unto them that join 'house to house, thai 
 lay field to field, till there be no place, that f they 
 may be placed alone in the midst of the earth ! 
 
 f || In mine ears, said the Lord of hosts, t Of a 
 truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and 
 fair without inhabitant.

 morning, that they may follow strong drink ; that 
 continue until night, till wine || inflame them ! 
 
 12 And the '-harp, and the viol, the tablet, and 
 pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but Hhey regard 
 not the work of the Lord, neither consider the ope- 
 ration of his hands. 
 
 13 V Therefore my people are gone into captivity, 
 "because they have no knowledge: and f their 
 honourable men are famished, and their multitude

 enlarged 
 
 herself, and 
 
 dried up with thirst. 
 
 14 Therefore hell hath 
 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 humbled, and the eyes 
 of the lofty shall be humbled : 
 
 16 But the Lord of hosts shall be exalted in 
 judgment, and || f God that is holy shall be sanctified 
 in righteousness. 
 
 17 Then shall the lambs feed after their manner, 
 and the waste places of ° the fat ones shall strangers 
 eat. 
 
 18 Wo unto them that draw iniquity with cords 
 of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart-rope : 
 
 19 ^That say, Let him make speed, and hasten 
 his work, that we may see it: and let the counsel 
 of the Hoi}' One of Israel draw nigh and come, 
 that we may know it ! 
 
 20 IT Wo unto them f that call evil good, and good 
 evil ; that put darkness for light, and light for dark- 
 ness ; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter ! 
 
 21 Wo unto them that are q wise in their own eyes, 
 and prudent fin their own sight! 
 
 22 'Wo unto them that are mighty to drink wine, 
 and men of strength to mingle strong drink: 
 
 23 Which •'justify the wicked for reward, and take 
 away the righteousness of the righteous from him ! 
 
 24 Therefore 'as fthe fire devoureth the stubble, 
 and the flame consumeth the chaff, so "their root shall 
 be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: 
 because they have cast away the law of the Lord of 
 hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel. 
 
 25 x Therefore is the anger of the Lord kindled 
 against his people, and he nath stretched forth his 
 hand against them, and hath smitten them: and y the 
 hills did tremble, and their carcasses were || torn in the 
 midst of the streets. z For all this his anger is not 
 turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. 
 
 26 11 "And he will lift up an ensign to the nations 
 from far, and will * hiss unto them from c 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 latchet of their shoes 
 be broken : 
 
 28 -/'Whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows 
 bent, their horses' hoofs shall be counted like flint, 
 and their wheels like a whirlwind. 
 
 29 Their roaring shall he like a lion, they shall 
 roar like young lions : yea, they shall roar, and lay 
 hold of the prey, and shall carry it away safe, and 
 none shall deliver it.

 Itaiah't vision of the Lord's glory. 
 
 IN the year that "king Uzziah died I 'saw also the 
 Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, 
 and || his train filled the temple. 
 
 2 Above it stood the seniphims: each one had six 
 wings; with twain he covered his face, and 'with 
 twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. 
 
 3 And fone cried unto another, and said, ''Holy, 
 holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: fthe whole earth 
 is full of his glory. 
 
 4 And the posts of the f door moved at the voice 
 of him that cried, and -/'the house was filled with 
 smoke. 
 
 5 If* Then said I, Wo is me! for I am f undone; 
 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, the Lord of hosts. 
 
 6 Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, | hav- 
 ing a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with 
 the tongs from off A the altar: 
 
 7 And he f'laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, 
 this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is 
 taken away, and thy sin purged. 
 
 8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, 
 Whom shall I send, and who will go for *us? Then 
 said I, | Here am I ; send me. 
 
 9 TIAnd he said, Go, and tell this people, 'Hear 
 ye || f indeed, but understand not; and see ye fin- 
 deed, but perceive not. 
 
 10 Make "'the heart of this people fat, and make 
 their ears heavy, and shut their eyes ; "lest they see 
 with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and under- 
 stand with their heart, and convert, and be healed. 
 
 11 Then said I, Lord, how long? And he an- 
 swered, "Until the cities be wasted without inhabi- 
 tant, and the houses without man, and the land be 
 f utterly desolate; 
 
 12 /'And the Lord have removed men far away, 
 
 and there be a great 
 
 forsaking 
 
 in the midst of the 
 
 land. 
 
 13 IT But yet in it shall be a tenth, Hand it shall 
 return, and shall be eaten: as a teil-tree, and as an 
 oak whose || substance is in them, when they cast their 
 leaves: so '' the holy seed shall be the substance thereof. 
 
 CHAP. VII. 
 
 1 Ahaz is comforted by Isaiah. 14 Christ promised. 
 
 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 Syria, and Pekah the son of 
 Remaliah, king of Israel, went up toward Jerusalem 
 to war against it, but could not prevail against it. 
 
 2 And it was told the house of David, saying, 
 Syria f is confederate with Ephraim. And his heart 
 was moved, and the heart of his people, as the trees 
 of the wood are moved with the wind. 
 
 3 Then said the Lord unto Isaiah, Go forth now 
 to meet Ahaz, thou, "and || Shear-jashub thy son, at 
 the end of the c conduit of the upper pool in the 
 || highway of the fuller's field ; 
 
 4 And say unto him, Take heed, and be quiet; 
 fear not, f neither be faint-hearted for the two tails 
 of these smoking fire-brands, for the fierce anger of 
 Rezin with Syria, and of the son of Remaliah. 
 
 5 Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Rema- 
 liah, have taken evil counsel e^ainst thee, saying 
 
 427 
 
Vlirisl promised. 
 
 6 Let us go up against Judah, and || vex 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 God, ''It shall not stand, 
 neither shall it come to pass. 
 
 8 ' For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the 
 head of Damascus is Rezin; and within threescore 
 and five years shall Ephraim be broken, | that it be 
 not a people. 
 
 9 And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the 
 head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. / 1| If ye. will not 
 believe, surely ye shall not be established. 
 
 10 IT f Moreover, the Loud spake again unto 
 Ahaz, saying, 
 
 11 ^Ask thee a sign of the Lord 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 the Lord. 
 
 13 And he said, Hear ye now, house of David ; 
 Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will 
 ye weary my God also? 
 
 14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a 
 sign; A Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear 'a 
 son, and || shall call his name *Immanuel. 
 
 15 Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may 
 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 that thou abhor- 
 rest shall be forsaken of m both her kings. 
 
 17 If "The Lord shall bring upon thee, and upon 
 thy people, and upon 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 the 
 Lobd p shall hiss c ox the fky that is in the uttermost 
 part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is 
 in the land of Assyria. 
 
 19 And they shall come, and shall rest all of them 
 in the desolate valleys, and in 'the holes of the rocks, 
 and upon all thorns, and upon all || bushes. 
 
 20 In the same day shall the Lord shave with a 
 r razor that is hired, namely, by them 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 that they shall give that he shall eat butter : 
 for butter and honey shall every one eat that is left 
 fin 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 silver lings, 'it shall even be for 
 briers and thorns. 
 
 24 With arrows and with bows shall men come 
 thither; because all the land shall become briers 
 and thorns. 
 
 25 And on all hills that shall be digged with the 
 mattock, 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 lesser cattle.

 8 And the sucking child shall play on the hole 
 of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand 
 on the || cockatrice's den. 
 
 9 ' They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy 
 mountain: for *the earth shall be full of the know- 
 ledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea. 
 
 10 H 'And in that day m there shall be a root of Jesse, 
 which shall stand for an ensign of the people ; to it shall 
 the "Gentiles seek: and "his rest shall be f glorious. 
 
 11 And it shall come to pass /'in that day, that the 
 Lord shall set his hand again the second time to re- 
 cover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, 
 'from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, 
 and from Cush, and from Elain, 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 Judahfrom the four fern 
 ners of the earth. 
 
 13 "The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and

 shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex 
 Ephraim. 
 
 14 But the}' shall fty upon the shoulders of the

 he shake his hand over the river, and shall smite it in

 kingdoms of nations gathered together : the Lord 
 r.f hosts mustereth the host of the battle. 
 
 o They come from a far country, from the end of 
 heaven, even the Lord, and the weapons of his indig- 
 nation, to destroy the whole land. 
 
 6 If Howl ye ; *for the day of the Lord is at hand ; 
 *it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty. 
 
 7 Therefore shall all hands || be faint, and every 
 man's heart shall melt; 
 
 8 And they shall be afraid; 'pangs and sorrows 
 shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a 
 woman that travail eth : they shall f be amazed f one 
 at another; their faces shall be as f flames. 
 
 9 Behold, Hhe day of the Lord 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 constellations 
 1 hereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be 
 "'darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not 
 cause her light to shine. 
 
 1 1 And I will punish the world for their evil, and 
 the wicked for their iniquity; "and I will cause the 
 arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low

 12 I will make a man more precious than fine 
 gold ; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir. 
 
 13 "Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the 
 earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of 
 the Lord of hosts, and in p the day of his fierce anger. 
 
 14 And it shall be as the chased roe, and as a 
 sheep that no man taketh up : 'they shall every man 
 turn to his own people, and flee every one into his 
 own land. 
 
 15 Every one that is found shall be thrust 
 through; and every one that is joined unto them 
 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 ravished. 
 
 17 * Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, 
 which 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 kingdoms, the 
 beauty of the Ohaldees' excellency, shall be fas 
 when God overthrew "Sodom 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 make their fold there.

 || f owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there. 
 
 22 And f the wild beasts of the islands shall cry 
 in their || desolate houses, and dragons in their plea- 
 sant palaces: *and her time is near to come, and her 
 days shall not be prolonged.

 8 And it snail come to pass in the day that the 
 Lord shall give thee res! 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 l| proverb against 
 the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppres- 
 sor ceased, the pgolden city ceased! 
 
 5 The Lord hath broken ''the staff of the wicked, 
 and the sceptre of the rulers. 
 
 G He Avho smote the people in wrath with f a con- 
 tinual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is 
 persecuted, and none hindereth. 
 
 7 The Avhole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they 
 break forth into singing. 
 
 8 ' Yea, the fir-trees rejoice at thee, and the cedars 
 of Lebanon, saying, Since thou art laid down, no 
 feller is come up against us. 
 
 9 k || Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet 
 thee at thy coming : it stirreth up the dead for thee, 
 even all the f || chief ones of the earth : it hath raised 
 up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. 
 
 10 All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art 
 thou also become weak as we? Art thou become 
 like unto us? 
 
 11 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and 
 the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under 
 thee, and the worms cover thee. 
 
 12 'How art thou fallen from heaven, || Lucifer, 
 son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the 
 ground, which didst weaken the nations! 
 
 13 For thou hast said in thine heart, '"I will ascend 
 into heaven, "I will exalt my throne above the stars 
 of God : 1 will sit also upon the mount of the con 
 gregation, "in the sides of the north: 
 
 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; 
 i'l will be like the Most High. 
 
 15 Yet thou i shalt be brought down to hell, to 
 the sides of the pit. 
 
 iO They that see thee shall narrowly look upon 
 thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man thai 
 made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms: 
 
 17 That made the world as a wilderness, and de- 
 stroyed the cities thereof: that || opened not the 
 house of his prisoners ? 
 
 18 All the kings of the nations, even all of them, 
 lie in gloiy, eveiy one in his own house. 
 
 19 But thou art cast out of thy grave like an 
 abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that 
 are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down 
 to the stones of the pit; as a carcass trodden under 
 feet. 
 
 20 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, 
 because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy 
 people : ' the seed of evd-doers shall never be re- 
 nowned. 
 
 21 Prepare slaughter for his children 'for the ini- 
 quity of their fathers; that they do not rise nor pos- 
 sess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities. 
 
 22 For I will rise up against them, saith the Lord 
 of hosts, and cut off from Babylon 'the name, and 
 "remnant, a "and son, and nephew, saith the Lord. 
 
 23 y I will also make it a possession for the bit 
 tern, and pools of water: and I will sweep it wil) 
 the besom of destruction, saith the Lord of hosts. 
 
 24 IT The Lord of 
 
 hosts 
 
 4SI 
 
 hath sworn, saying 
 
night 
 
 The l-m/rii/able stale of Moab. 
 
 Surely as 1 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 upon my mountains tread him under foot: then 
 shall *his yoke depart from off them, and his burden 
 depart from off their shoulders. 
 
 26 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 the Lord 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 H Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina, "because 
 the rod of him that smote thee is broken: for out 
 of the serpent's root shall come forth a || cockatrice, 
 rf 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 safety: and I will kill 
 thy root with famine, and he shall slay thy remnant. 
 
 31 Howl, gate; cry, city; thou, whole Pal- 
 estina, art dissolved : for there shall come from the 
 north a smoke, and || none shall be alone in his || ap- 
 pointed times. 
 
 32 What shall one then answer the messengers of 
 the nation? That c the Lord hath founded Zion, and 
 J the poor of his people shall || trust in it.

 The lamentable slate of Moab. 
 
 THE "burden of Moab. Because in the 
 *Ar of Moab is laid waste, a nd || brought to 
 silence; because in the night Kir of Moab is laid 
 waste, and brought to silence; 
 
 2 'He is gone up to Bajith, and to Dibon, the high 
 places, to weep: Moab shall howl over Nebo, and 
 over Medeba: ''on all their heads shall be baldness, 
 and every beard cut off. 
 
 3 In their streets they shall gird themselves with 
 sackcloth: e on the tops of their houses, and in their 
 streets, every one shall howl, f weepina; abundantly. 
 
 4 And Heshbon shall cry, ■'and Elealeh; their 
 voice shall be heard even unto Jahaz : therefore the 
 armed soldiers of Moab shall cry out; his life shall 
 be grievous unto him. 
 
 5 *My heart shall cry out for Moab ; || his fugitives 
 shall flee unto Zoar, an * heifer of three years old: 
 for 'by the mounting up of Luhith with weeping 
 shall they go it up; for in the way of Horonaim 
 they shall raise up a cry of f destruction. 
 
 6 For the waters *of Nimrim shall be f desolate: 
 for the hay is withered away, the grass faileth, there 
 is no green thing. 
 
 7 Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and 
 that which they have laid up, shall they carry away 
 to the || brook of the willows. 
 
 8 For the cry is gone round about the borders of 
 Moab, the howling thereof unto Eglaim, and. the 
 howling thereof unto Beer-elim. 
 
 9 For the w T aters of Dimon shall be full of blood : 
 for I will bring f more upon Dimon, 'lions upon him that 
 escapeth of Moab, and upon the remnant of the land.

 3 fTake counsel, execute judgment; make thy 
 shadow as the night in the midst of the noon-day; 
 hide the outcasts; bewray not him that wandereth. 
 
 4 Let mine outcasts dwell with thee, Moab ; be 
 thou a covert to them from the face of the spoiler : 
 for the f extortioner is at an end, the spoiler ceaseth, 
 f the oppressors are consumed out of the land. 
 
 5 And in mercy ''shall the throne be || established : 
 and he shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of 
 David, "judging, and seeking judgment, and hasting 
 righteousness. 
 
 6 If We have heard of the •'pride of Moab ; he is 
 very proud : even of his haughtiness, and his pride, 
 and his wrath: 8 bui his lies shall not be so. 
 
 7 Therefore shall Moab ''howl for Moab, every 
 one shall howl: for the foundations 'of Kir-hareseth 
 shall ye || mourn; surety thev are stricken. 
 
 8 For Hhe fields of Heshbon languish, and 'the 
 vine of Sibmah : the lords of the heathen have bro- 
 ken down the principal plants thereof, they are come 
 even unto Jazer, they wandered through the wilder- 
 ness : her branches are || stretched out, they are gone 
 over the sea. 
 
 9 II Therefore m I will bewail with the weeping of 
 Jazer the vine of Sibmah : I will water thee with 
 my tears, "O Heshbon, and Elealeh: for || the shouting 
 for thy summer-fruits and for thy harvest is fallen. 
 
 10 And "gladness is taken away, and joy out of 
 the plentiful field; and in the vineyards there shall 
 be no singing, neither shall there be shouting : the 
 tread ers shall tread out no wine in their presses; I 
 have made their ^m^e-shouting to cease. 
 
 11 Wherefore ''my bowels shall sound like an harp 
 for Moab, and mine inward parts for Kir-haresh. 
 
 12 IT And it shall come to pass, when it is seen 
 that Moab is weary on v the high place, that he shall 
 come to his sanctuary to pray; but he shall not 
 prevail. 
 
 13 This is the word that the Lord hath spoken 
 concerning Moab since that time. 
 
 14 But now the Lord hath spoken, saying, 
 Within three years, ''as the years of an hireling, 
 and the glory of Moab shall be contemned, with all 
 that great multitude ; and the remnant shall be very 
 small and || feeble.

 8 And he shall not look to the altars, the work

 9 II In that day shall his strong cities be as a for- 
 saken bough, and an uppermost branch, which they 
 left because of the children of Israel: and there 
 shall be desolation. 
 
 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 strange slips : 
 
 11 In the day shalt thou make thy plant to grow,

 13 The nations shall rush like the rushing of 
 many waters : but God shall k rebuke them, and they 
 shall flee far off, and 'shall be chased as the chaff 
 of the mountains before the wind, and like || a rolling

 5 For afore the harvest, when the bud is perfect,

 both cut off the sprigs with pruning-hooks, and take 
 away and cut down the branches. 
 
 6 They shall be left together unto the fowls of

 IN the year that "Tartan came unto Ashdod, (when 
 Sargon the king of Assyria sent him,) and fought 
 against Ashdod, and took it; 
 
 2 At the same time spake the Lord f by Isaiah 
 the son of Amoz, saying, Go, and loose the 'sack- 
 cloth from off thy loins, and put off thy shoe from 
 thy foot. And he did so, c walking naked and barefoot. 
 
 3 And the Lord said, Like as my servant Isaiah 
 hath walked naked and barefoot three years ''for a 
 sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia ; 
 
 4 So shall the king of Assyria lead away f the 
 Egyptians prisoners, and the Ethiopians captives, 
 young and old, naked and barefoot, c even with their 
 buttocks uncovered, to the f shame of Egypt. 
 
 •5 •'And they shall be afraid and ashamed of Ethi- 
 opia their expectation, and of Egypt their glory.

 4 Therefore said I, Look away from me ; h \ I will 
 weep bitterly, labour not to comfort me, because of 
 the spoiling of the daughter of my people. 
 
 5 'For it is a day of trouble, and of treading 
 down, and of perplexity d by the Lord God of hosts 
 in the valley of vision, breaking down the walls, and 
 of crying to the mountains. 
 
 6 'And Elara bare the quiver with chariots of men 
 and horsemen, and •''Kir f uncovered the shield. 
 
 7 And it shall come to pass, that f thy choicest 
 valleys shall be full of chariots, and the horsemen 
 shall set themselves in array || at the gate. 
 
 8 If And he discovered the covering of Judah, 
 and thou didst look in that day to the armour* of

 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 Jeru- 
 salem, and the houses have ye broken dowD to for- 
 tify the wall. 
 
 11 'Ye made also a ditch between the two walls 
 for the water of the old pool; but ye have not 
 looked unto Hhe maker thereof, neither had respect 
 unto him that fashioned it long ago. 
 
 12 And in that day did the Lord God of hosta 
 ' call to weeping, and to mourning, and m to baldness, 
 and to girding with sackcloth : 
 
 13 And 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 mine ears by the Lord 
 of hosts, Surely this iniquity ^ shall not be purged 
 from you till ye die, saitn the Lord God of hosts. 
 
 15 If Thus saith the Lord God of hosts, Go, get 
 thee unto this treasurer, even unto "Shebna, 'which 
 is over the house, and say,

 nc 'that howoth him out a sepulchre on high, and 
 that graveth an habitation for himself in a rock? 
 
 17 Behold, || the Lord will carry thee away with 
 fa mighty captivity, 'and will surely cover thee. 
 
 IS lie will surely violently turn and toss thee 
 like a ball into a f large country: there shalt thou 
 die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall be the 
 shame of thy lord's house. 
 
 19 And I will drive thee from thy station, and 
 from thy state shall he pull thee down. 
 
 20 HAnd it shall come to pass in that day, that 
 I will call my servant u Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah 
 
 21 And 1 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 1 lay 
 
 upon his shoulder: so he shall *open, and none 
 
 shall 
 
 shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open. 
 
 23 And I will fasten him as y & nail in a sure place ; 
 and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father's 
 house. 
 
 24 And they shall hang upon him all the glory 
 of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, all 
 vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of cups, 
 even to all the || vessels of flagons. 
 
 25 In that day, saith the Lord of hosts, shall the 
 nail that is fastened in the sure place be removed, and 
 be cut down, and fall; and the burden that ivas upon 
 it shall be cut off: for the Lord hath spoken it.

 2 Be f still, ye inhabitants of the isle; thou whom 
 the merchants of Zidon, that pass over the sea, have 
 replenished. 
 
 3 And by great waters the seed of Sihor, the har- 
 vest of the river, is her revenue; and c she is a mart 
 of nations. 
 
 4 Be thou ashamed, Zidon : for the sea hath 
 apoken, even the strength of the sea, saying, I travail 
 fi.ot, nor bring forth children, neither do I nourish up 
 young men, nor bring up virgins. 
 
 5 *As at the report concerning Eg}'pt, so shall 
 they be sorely pained at the report of Tyre.

 8 Who hath taken this counsel against Tyre, •'the

 9 The Lord of hosts hath purposed it, fto stain

 thou oppressed virgin, daughter 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 founded it for 'them that 
 dwell in the wilderness: they set up the towers 
 thereof, they raised up the palaces thereof, and he 
 brought it to ruin. 
 
 14 *Howl, ye ships of Tarshish : for your strength 
 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 
 t shall Tyre sing as an harlot. 
 
 16 Take an harp, go about the city, thou harlot 
 that hast been forgotten; make sweet melody, sing 
 many songs, that thou mayest be remembered. 
 
 17 "[[And it shall come to pass after the end of 
 seventy years, that the Lord will visit Tyre, and 
 she shall turn to her hire, and 'shall commit forni- 
 cation with all the kingdoms of the world upon the 
 face of the earth. 
 
 18 And her merchandise and her hire '"shall be 
 holiness to the Lord: it shall not be treasured nor 
 laid up; for her merchandise shall be for them that 
 dwell before the Lord, to eat sufficiently, and for 
 t durable clothing. 
 
 CHAP. XXIV. 
 
 God in his judgments shall advance his kingdom. 
 
 BEHOLD, the Lord maketh the earth empty, and 
 maketh it waste, and f turneth it upside down, 
 and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof. 
 
 2 And it shall be, as with the people, so with the 
 II "priest; as with the servant, so with his master; 
 as with the maid, so with her mistress ; ' as with the 
 buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so 
 with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so 
 with the giver of usury to him. 
 
 3 The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly 
 spoiled : for the Lord hath spoken this word. 
 
 4 The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world 
 languisheth and fadeth away, f the haughty people 
 of the earth do languish. 
 
 5 c The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants 
 thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, 
 changed the ordinance, broken the 
 enant. 
 
 6 Therefore hath d the curse devoured the earth, and 
 they that dwell therein are desolate : therefore the in- 
 habitants of the earth are burned, and few men left. 
 
 7 'The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, 
 all the merry-hearted do sigh. 
 
 8 The mirth -/"of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them 
 that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth. 
 
 9 They shall not drink wine with a song; strong 
 drink shall be bitter to them that drink it. 
 
 10 The city of confusion is broken down: every 
 house is shut up, that no man may come in. 
 
 11 There is a crying for Avine 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 If When thus it shall be in the midst ot ttie 
 land among the people, s there shall be as the shaking 
 of an olive-tree, and as the glean ing-grapes when 
 the vintage is done. 
 
 14 They shall lift up their voice, they shall sin" 
 for the majesty of the Lord, they shall cry aloud

 16 IT From the f uttermost part of the earth have 
 we heard songs, even glory to the righteous. But I 
 said, fMy leanness, my leanness, wo unto me! 'the 
 treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously ; yea, 
 the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously. 
 
 17 *Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon 
 thee, inhabitant of the earth. 
 
 18 And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth 
 from the noise of the fearshall fall into the pit: and 
 he that 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 do shake. 
 
 19 "The earth is utterly broken down, the earth 
 is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly. 
 
 20 The earth shall "reel to and fro like a drunk- 
 ard, and shall be removed like a cottage ; 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 the 
 Lord shall f punish the host of the high ones that are 
 on high, p and the kings of the earth upon the earth. 
 
 22 And they shall be gathered together, f as pri- 
 soners are gathered in the llpit, and shall be shut up in 
 the prison, and after many days shall they be || visited. 
 
 23 Then the ? moon shall be confounded, and the 
 sun ashamed, when the Lord of hosts shall 'reign 
 in ' mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and || before ms 
 ancients gloriously. 
 
 CHAP. XXV. 
 
 The prophet praiseth God for his judgments and salvation. 
 
 OLORJD, thou art my God; °I will exalt thee, 
 I will praise thy name; 'for thou hast done 
 wonderful things; c thy counsels of old are faithful- 
 ness and truth. 
 
 2 For thou hast made rf of a city an heap; of a 
 defenced city a ruin : a palace of strangers to be no 
 city ; it shall never be built. 
 
 o Therefore shall the strong people e glorify thee, 
 the city of the terrible nations shall fear thee. 
 
 4 For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a 
 strength to the needy in his distress, 7 a refuge from 
 the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast 
 of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall. 
 
 5 Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers, 
 as the heat in a dry place ; even the heat with the 
 shadow of a cloud : the branch of the terrible ones 
 shall be brought low. 
 
 6 IF And in s this mountain shall ''the Lord of 
 hosts make unto 'all people a feast of fat things, a 
 feast of wines on the lees; of fat things full of mar- 
 row; of wines on the lees well refined. 
 
 7 And he will f destroy in this mountain the face 
 of the covering f cast over all people, and * the vail 
 that is spread over all nations. 
 
 8 He will 'swallow up death in victoiy; and the 
 Lord God will '"wipe away tears from off all faces; 
 and the rebuke of his people shall he take away 
 from off all the earth : for the Lord hath spoken it. 
 
 9 IF And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is 
 our God ; " we have waited for him, and he will save 
 •js: this is the Lord; we have waited for him, "we 
 will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.

 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 c Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation 
 which keepeth the f truth may enter in. 
 
 3 Thou wilt keep him fin perfect peace whose 
 || mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. 
 
 4 Trust ye in the Lord for ever : *for in the Lord 
 JEHOVAH is f everlasting strength : 
 
 5 IF For he bringeth down them that dwell on 
 high; 'the lofty city, helayethitlow; helayethitlow, 
 even to the ground ; he bringeth it even to the dust. 
 
 G The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of 
 the poor, and the steps of the needy. 
 
 7 The way of the just is uprightness : J thou, most 
 upright, dost weigh the path of the just. 
 
 8 Yea, °in the way of thy judgments, Lord, 
 have we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is 
 to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee. . 
 
 9 ''With my soul have I desired thee in the night ; 
 3'ea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early • 
 for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhab 
 itants of the world will learn righteousness. 
 
 10 'Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will 
 he not learn righteousness : in * the land of upright- 
 ness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the 
 majesty of the Lord. 
 
 11 Lord, when thy hand is lifted up, 'they will 
 not see: hut they shall see, and be ashamed for 
 their envy || at the people ; yea, the fire of thine 
 enemies shall devour them. 
 
 12 IT Lord, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for 
 thou also hast wrought all our works || in us. 
 
 13 O Lord our God, '"other lords besides thee 
 have had dominion over us; but by thee only wit 1 
 we make mention of thy name. 
 
 14 They are dead, they shall not live ; they an 
 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, O Lord, thou 
 hast increased the nation; thou art glorified : thou 
 hadst removed it far unto all the ends of the earth. 
 
 16 Lord, " in trouble have they visited thee; they 
 poured out a f prayer when thy chastening was upon 
 them. 
 
 17 Like as "a woman with child, that draweth near 
 the time of her delivery, is in pain, and crieth out 
 in her pangs; so have we been in thy sight, O Lord. 
 
 18 We have been with child, we have been in 
 pain, we have as it were brought forth wind ; Ave 
 have not wrought any deliverance in the earth; 
 neither have ''the inhabitants of the world fallen. 
 
 19 9 Thy dead men shall live, together with my 
 dead body shall they arise. 'Awake and sing, ye 
 that dwell in dust : for thy dew is as the dew of

 CHAP. XXVII. 
 
 God's chastisements differ from judgments. 
 
 IN that day the Lord with his sore and great and 
 strong sword shall punish leviathan the \ piercing 
 serpent, "even leviathan that crooked serpent; and 
 he shall slay Hhe dragon that is in the sea. 
 
 2 In that day f sing ye unto her, ''A vineyard of 
 red wine. 
 
 3 'I the Lord do keep it; I will water it every 
 moment : lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and da}'. 
 
 4 Fury is not in me : who would set -/'the briers 
 and thorns against me in battle ? I would || go through 
 rliem, I would burn them together. 
 
 5 Or let him take hold *of my strength, that he 
 may ''make peace with me, and he shall make peace 
 with me. 
 
 6 He shall cause them that come of Jacob 'to take 
 root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face 
 of the world with fruit. 
 
 7 II Hath he smitten him, fas he smote those that 
 smote him? or is he slain according to the slaughter 
 of them that are slain by him? 
 
 8 *In measure, || when it shooteth forth, thou wilt 
 debate with it: ll'he stayeth his rough wind in the 
 day of the east wind. 
 
 9 By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be 
 purged ; and this is all the fruit to take away his 
 sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as 
 chalk-stones that are beaten in sunder, the groves 
 and || images shall not stand up. 
 
 10 Yet the defenced city shall be desolate, and 
 the habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness : 
 "'there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie 
 down, and consume the branches thereof. 
 
 11 When the boughs thereof are withered, they 
 shall be broken off: the women come and set them on

 12 To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith 
 ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the

 13 But trie word of the Lord was unto them. 
 precept upon precept, precept upon precept ; line 
 upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a 
 
 little; that they 
 
 night

 be broken, and snared, and taken 
 
 14 If Wherefore hear the word of the Lord, ve 
 scornful men, that rule this people which is in 
 Jerusalem. 
 
 1 5 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant 
 with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when 
 the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall 
 not come unto us : k for we have made lies our refuge, 
 and under falsehood have w T e hid ourselves : 
 
 16 If Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, 
 I lay in Zion for a foundation 'a stone, a tried stone, 
 a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that 
 believeth shall not make haste. 
 
 17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and right- 
 eousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep 
 away '"the refuge of lies, and the waters shall over- 
 flow the hiding-place. 
 
 18 If And your covenant with death shall be dis- 
 annulled, and your agreement with hell shall not 
 stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass 
 through, then ye shall be f trodden down by it. 
 
 19 From the time that it goeth forth it shall take 
 you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by 
 
 y and by night: and it shall be a vexation only 
 to understand the report. 
 
 20 For the bed is shorter than that a man can 
 stretch himself on it; and the covering narrowci 
 than that he can wrap himself in it. 
 
 21 For the Lord shall rise up as in mount ""Pera- 
 zim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of "Gibeon 
 that he may do his work, ''his strange work; and 
 bring to pass his act, his strange act. 
 
 22 Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest youi 
 bands be made strong: for I have heard from thf 
 Lord God of hosts ? a consumption, even detenuiued 
 upon the whole earth.

 24 Doth the ploughman plough all day to sow? 
 doth he open and break the clods of his ground ? 
 
 25 When he hath made plain the face thereof, 
 doth he not cast abroad the fitches, and scatter the 
 cummin, and cast in || the principal wheat, and the 
 appointed barley, and the ||rye in their f place? 
 
 26 || For his God doth instruct him to discretion, 
 and doth teach him. 
 
 27 For the fitches are not threshed with a thresh- 
 ing instrument, neither is a cart-wheel turned about 
 upon the cummin; but the fitches are beaten out 
 with a staff, and the cummin with a rod. 
 
 28 Bread-corn is bruised; because he will not 
 ever be threshing it, nor break it ivith the wheel of 
 his cart, nor bruise it tvith his horsemen. 
 
 29 This also cometh forth from the Lord of 
 hosts, 'ivhich is wonderful in counsel, and excellent 
 in working.

 WO || "to Ariel, to Ariel, || the city * where David 
 dwelt! add ye year to year; let them fkill 
 sacrifices. 
 
 2 Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be 
 heaviness and sorrow : and it shall be unto me as 
 Ariel. 
 
 3 And I will camp against thee round about, and 
 will lay siege against thee with a mount, and I will 
 raise forts 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, as of 
 one that hath a familiar spirit, f out of the ground, 
 and thy speech shall f whisper out of the dust. 
 
 5 Moreover, the multitude of thy ''strangers shall 
 be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible 
 Dnes shall be e as chaff that passeth away: yea, it 
 shall be ^at an instant suddenly. 
 
 6 *Thou shalt be visited of the Lord of hosts with 
 thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, Avith 
 storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire. 
 
 7 H A And the multitude of all the nations that 
 fight against Ariel, even all that fight against her 
 and her munition, and that distress her, shall be 'as 
 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 his soul is 
 empty : or as when a thirsty man dreameth, and be- 
 hold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and behold, he is 
 faint, and his soul hath appetite : so shall the multitude 
 of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion. 
 
 9 IT Stay yourselves, and wonder ; || cry ye out, and 
 cry: 'they are drunken, "'but not with wine; they 
 'tagger, but not with strong drink. 
 
 10 For "the Lord hath poured out upon you the 
 spirit of deep sleep, and hath "closed your eyes : the 
 prophets and your f rulers, '' the seers hath he covered . 
 
 11 And the vision of all is become unto you as 
 the words of a || book ,; that is sealed, which men de-

 with their lips do honour me, but have removed 
 their heart far from me, and their fear toward me 
 is taught by 'the precept of men: 
 
 14 "Therefore behold, fl will proceed to do a 
 marvellous work among this people, even a marvel- 
 lous work and a wonder: -"for the wisdom of then 
 wise men shall perish, and the understanding of then 
 prudent men shall be hid. 
 
 15 "Wo unto them that seek deep to hide theii 
 counsel from the Lord, and their works are in the 
 dark, and 'they say, Who seeth us? and who know- 
 eth us? 
 
 16 Surely your turning of things upside down 
 shall be esteemed as the potter's clay : for shall the 
 'work say of him that made it, He made me not.! 
 or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, 
 He had no understanding? 
 
 17 Is it not yet a A r ery little while, and c Leban( a 
 shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful 
 field shall be esteemed as a forest? 
 
 18 IT And ''in 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 e The meek also f shall increase their joy in the 
 Lord, and J the poor among men shall rejoice in the 
 Holy One of Israel. 
 
 20 For the terrible one is brought to nought, and 
 s fhe scorner is consumed, and all that ''watch for 
 iniquity are cut off: 
 
 21 That make a man an offender for a word, and 
 'lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and 
 turn aside the just *for a thing of nought. 
 
 22 Therefore thus saith the Lord, 'who redeemed 
 Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob 
 shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face 
 now wax pale. 
 
 23 But when he seeth his children, "'the work of 
 mine hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify 
 my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and 
 shall fear the God of Israel.

 Their strength is to sit still. 
 
 8 If Now go, '" write it before them in a table, and 
 note it in a book, that it may be for fthe time to 
 come for ever and ever : 
 
 i) That "this is a rebellious people, lying children, 
 children that will not hear the law of the Lord : 
 
 10 "Which say to the seers, See not; and to the 
 prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, ''speak 
 unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits : 
 
 11 Get ye out of the way, turn aside out of 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 || oppres- 
 sion and perverseness, and stay thereon: 
 
 13 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you ? as a 
 breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, 
 whose breaking 'cometh suddenly at an instant. 
 
 14 And 'he shall break it as the breaking of fthe 
 potters' vessel that is broken in pieces ; he shall not 
 spare : so that there shall not be found in the burst- 
 ing of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to 
 take water withal out of the pit. 
 
 15 For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy One of 
 Isiiiel; 'In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in 
 quietness and in confidence shall be your strength : 
 u 'and ye would not. 
 
 16 But ye said, No; for we will flee upon horses; 
 therefore shall ye flee : and, We will ride upon the 
 swift ; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift. 
 
 17 x One thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one; 
 at the rebuke of five shall ye flee : till ye be left as 
 II a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an 
 ensign on a hill: 
 
 18 IT And therefore will the Lord wait, that he 
 may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be 
 exalted, that he may have mercy upon you : for the 
 Lord is a God of judgment : y blessed are all they 
 that wait for him. 
 
 Vd For the people T shall dwell in Zion at Jeru- 
 salem : thou shalt weep no more : he will be very 
 gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when 
 he shall hear it, he will answer thee. 
 
 20 And though the Lord give you "the bread of 
 adversity, and the water of || affliction, 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 behind thee, 
 saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye f turn 
 to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left. 
 
 22 d Ye shall defile also the covering of f thy gra- 
 ven images of silver, and the ornament of thy molten 
 images of gold : thou shalt f cast them away as a men- 
 struous cloth ; e thou shalt say unto it, Get thee hence. 
 
 23 •/'Then shall he give the rain of thy seed, that 
 thou shalt sow the ground withal ; and bread of the 
 increase of the earth, and it shall be fat and plenteous : 
 in that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures.

 27 If Behold, the name of the Lord cometh frooi 
 far, burning with his anger, || and the burden thereof 
 is t heavy : his lips are full of indignation, and his 
 tongue as a devouring fire : 
 
 28 And 'his breath, as an overflowing stream. 
 fc shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the na- 
 tions with the sieve of vanity : and there shall he ' a

 29 Ye shall have a song, as in the night "'when a 
 holy solemnity is kept ; and gladness of heart, as 
 when one goeth with a pipe to come into the " moun- 
 tain of the Lord, to the f mighty One of Israel. 
 
 30 "And the Lord shall cause this glorious voice 
 to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of his 
 arm, with the indignation of his anger, and ivith the

 CHAP. XXXI. 
 
 The prophet sheu-elh the cursed folly in trusting to Egj/pt. 
 
 WO to them "that go down to Egypt for help; 
 and 6 stay on horses, and trust in chariots, be- 
 cause they are many; and in horsemen, because they 
 are very strong ; but they look not unto the Holy 
 One of Israel, c neither seek the Lord ! 
 
 2 Yet he also is wise, and will bring evil, and 
 d will not t call back his words : but will arise against 
 the house of the evil-doers, and against the help of 
 them that work iniquity. 
 
 3 Now the Egyptians are 'men, and not God; and 
 their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the Lord 
 shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall 
 fall, and he that is holpen shall fall down, and they 
 all shall fail together. 
 
 4 For thus hath the Lord spoken unto me, -/Like 
 as the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey, 
 when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against 
 him, he will not be afraid of their voice, nor abase 
 himself for the || noise of them : s so shall the Lord 
 of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and 
 for the hill thereof. 
 
 5 A As birds flying, so will the Lord of hosts de- 
 fend Jerusalem; ^defending also he will deliver it; 
 and passing over he will preserve it. 
 
 6 IT Turn ye unto him from whom the children 
 of Israel have * deeply revolted. 
 
 7 For in that day every man shall 'cast away his 
 idols of silver, and t his idols of gold, which }-ou 
 own hands have made unto you for m a sin. 
 
 8 II 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 lit discomfited. 
 
 9 And "the shall pass over to || his strong hold 
 for fear, and his princes shall be afraid of the en- 
 sign, saith the Lord, whose fire is in Zion, and his 
 furnace in Jerusalem.

 1 The blessings of Christ's kingdom. Desolation is forcshewn. 
 
 BEHOLD, "a King shall reign in righteousness, 
 and princes shall rule in judgment. 
 
 2 And a man shall be as an hiding-place from the 
 wind, and 6 a covert from the tempest; as rivers of 
 water in a dry place, as the shadow of a f great rock 
 in a weary land. 
 
 3 And c the eyes of them that see shall not be 
 dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken. 
 
 4 The heart also of the fi^sh shall understand 
 knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall 
 be ready to speak || plainly. 
 
 5 The vile person shall be no more called liberal, 
 nor the churl said to be bountiful. 
 
 G For the vile person will speak villany, and his 
 heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and 
 to utter error against trie Lord, to make empty the 
 soul of the hungry; and he will cause the drink of 
 the thirsty to fail. 
 
 7 The instruments also of the churl 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. 
 
 9 If Rise up, ye women d that are at ease; hear 
 my voice, ye careless daughters; give ear unto my 
 speech. 
 
 10 fMany days and years shall ye be troubled, 
 ye careless women ; for the vintage shall fail, the 
 gathering shall not come. 
 
 11 Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be trou- 
 bled, ye careless ones: strip you and make you 
 bare, ami gird sackcloth upon your loins. 
 
 12 They shall lament for trie teats, for f the plea- 
 sant fields, for the fruitful vine. 
 
 13 'Upon the. land of my people shall come up 
 thorns and briers; llyea, upon all the houses of joy 
 in Ahe joyous city. 
 
 14 s Because the palaces shall be forsaken; the 
 multitude of the city shall be left; the || forts and 
 towers shall be for 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 wilderness be a fruitful field, and the 
 fruitful field be counted for a forest. 
 
 16 Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, 
 and righteousness remain in the fruitful field. 
 
 17 * And the work of righteousness shall be peace; 
 and the effect of righteousness, quietness and assur- 
 ance for ever. 
 
 .18 And my people shall dwell in a peaceable 
 habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting- 
 places. 
 
 19 'When it shall hail, coming clown m on the 
 forest ; || and the city shall be low in a low place. 
 
 20 Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters, that 
 send forth thither the feet of "the ox and the ass.

 cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled ; and when thou 
 shalt make an end to deal treacherously, they shall

 I Sennacherib invadeth Judah. 4 Rahshakeh's blasphemous persuasiotit 
 
 to the people. 
 
 NOW "it came to pass in the fourteenth year of 
 king Hezekiah, that Sennacherib king of As- 
 syria came up against all the defenced cities of 
 Judah, and took them. 
 
 2 And the king of Assj'ria sent Rabshakeh from 
 Lachish to Jerusalem unto 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 unto him, Eliakim, Hilkiah's 
 son, which was over the house, and Shebna the 
 || scribe, and Joah, Asaph's son, the recorder. 
 
 4 IT 4 And Kabshakeh said unto 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 t vain words) 
 
 II / have counsel and strength for Avar : now on whom 
 dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me? 
 
 6 Lo, thou trustest in the c staff of this broken 
 reed, on Egypt; whereon 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. 
 
 7 But if thou say to me, We trust in the Lord oin 
 God : is it not he, whose high places and whose altars 
 Hezekiah hath taken away, and said to Judah and 
 to Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar? 
 
 8 Now therefore give || pledges, 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 tc 
 set riders upon them. 
 
 9 How then wilt thou turn away the face ot one 
 captain of the least of my master's servants, and put 
 thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen ?

 against this land to destroy it': the Loud said nnto| 2ju! T 
 rue, Go up against this land, and destroy it. about?™. 
 
 11 If Then said Eliakim, and Shebna, and Joah, 
 unto Rabshakeh, Speak, 1 pray thee, unto thy ser- 
 vants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: 
 and speak not to us in the Jews' language, in the 
 ears of the people that are on the wali. 
 
 12 II But Rabshakeh said, Hath my master sent 
 me to thy master and to thee to speak these words? 
 bath he not sent me to the men that sit upon the 
 wall, that they may cat their own dung, and drink 
 their own piss 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 shall not be able to deliver you. 
 
 15 Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the 
 Lord, saying, The Lord 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, II f Make an agreement with me by 
 a present, and come out to me : rf and eat ye every 
 cue of his vine, and every one of his fig-tree, and 
 J rink ye every one the waters of his own cistern; 
 
 17 until I come and take you away to a land 
 like your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land 
 of bread and vineyards. 
 
 18 Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, 
 The Lord will deliver us. Hath any of the gods of 
 the nations delivered his land out of the hand of 
 the king of Assyria? 
 
 19 Where are the gods of Hamath and Arphad? 
 where are the gods of Sepharvaim? and have they 
 delivered Samaria out of my hand ? 
 
 20 Who are they among all the gods of these lands, 
 that have delivered their land out of my hand, that 
 the Lord should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand? 
 
 21 But they held their peace, and answered him 
 not a word : for the king's commandment was, say- 
 ing, Answer him not. 
 
 22 IF Then came Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, that 
 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. 
 
 v CHAP. XXXVII. 
 
 1 Hezekiah sendeth to Isaiah. 36 An angel sluyeth the Assyrians. 
 
 AND " it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard 
 it, that he rent his clothes, and covered himself 
 tvith sackcloth, and went into the house of the Lord. 
 
 2 And he sent Eliakim, who was over the house- 
 hold, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the 
 priests covered with sackcloth, unto Isaiah the 
 prophet, the son of Amoz. 
 
 3 And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, 
 This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of 
 (| blasphemy: for the children are come to the birth, 
 and there is not strength to bring forth. 
 
 4 It may be the Lord thy God will hear the words

 Hezekiah' i> prayer 
 
 unto \ r our master, Thus saith the Lord, Be not afraid 
 of the words that thou hast heard, wherewith the ser. 
 vants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me. 
 
 7 Behold, I will || send a blast upon him, and ho 
 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 say concerning Tirhakah 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 Ju- 
 dah, saying, Let not thy God in whom thou tcustest, 
 deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem Jiall not be given 
 into the hand of the king of Assyria. 
 
 11 Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of 
 Ass}Tia have done to all lands by destroying then, 
 utterly ; and shalt thou be delivered ? 
 
 12 Have the gods of the nations delivered them 
 which 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, 
 Hena, and Ivah? 
 
 14 IF And Hezekiah received the letter from the 
 hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah 
 went up unto the house of the Lord, and spread it 
 before the Lord. 
 
 15 And Hezekiah prayed unto the Lord, saying, 
 10 Lord of hosts, God of Israel, that dwellest 
 
 bchveen the cherubims, thou art the God, even thou 
 alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; thou hasf 
 made heaven and earth. 
 
 17 c Incline thine ear, Lord, and hear; open 
 thine eyes, Lord, and see : and hear all the words 
 of Sennacherib, which hath sent to reproach the 
 living God. 
 
 18 Of a truth, Lord, the kings of Assyria have 
 laid waste all the f nations, and their countries, 
 
 19 And have feast their gods into the fire; for 
 they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, 
 wood and stone : therefore they have destroyed them. 
 
 20 Now therefore, O Lord our God, save us from 
 his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may 
 know that thou art the Lord, even thou only. 
 
 21 IF Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent unto 
 Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the Lord God of Is- 
 rael, Whereas thou hast prayed to me against Sen- 
 nacherib king of Assyria: 
 
 22 This is the word which the Lord hath spoken 
 concerning him; The virgin, the daughter of Zion, 
 hath despised thee, and laughed thee to scorn ; the 
 daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee. 
 
 23 Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed , 
 and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, and 
 lifted up thine eyes on high ? even against the Holy 
 One of Israel. 
 
 24 f By thy servants hast thou reproached the 
 Lord, and hast said, By the multitude of my chari- 
 ots am 1 come up to the height of the mountains, to 
 the sides of Lebanon ; and I will cut down f the tall 
 cedars thereof, and the choice fir-trees thereof: and 
 I will enter into the height of his border, and \\ the 
 forests of his Carmel. 
 
 25 I have digged and drunk water; and with thb 
 
Sennacherib's destruction prophesied. CHAP 
 
 sole of my foot have 1 dried up all the rivers of the 
 II besieged places. 
 
 26 ]| Hast thou not heard longr 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 
 be to lay waste defenced cities into ruinous heaps. 
 
 27 Therefore their inhabitants were f°f small 
 power, they were dismayed and confounded : they 
 were as the grass of the field, and as the green 
 herb, as the grass on the house-tops, and as corn 
 blasted before it be grown up. 
 
 28 But I know thy || abode, and thy going out, 
 and thy coming in, and thy rage against me. 
 
 29 Because thy rage against me, and thy tumult, 
 is come up into mine ears, therefore d will I put my 
 'look 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 unto thee, Ye shall 
 eat this year such as groweth of itself; and the 
 second year that which springeth of the same : and 
 in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vine- 
 yards, and eat the fruit thereof. 
 
 31 And fthe remnant that is escaped of the 
 house of Judah shall again take root downward, and 
 bear fruit upward : 
 
 32 For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, 
 and fthey that escape out of mount Zion: the 'zeal 
 at' the Lord of hosts shall do this. 
 
 33 Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning the 
 king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, 
 nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with 
 f shields, nor cast a bank against it. 
 
 34 By the way that he came, by the same shall 
 lie return, and shall not come into this city, saith 
 the Lord. 
 
 35 For I will 'defend this city to save it, for 
 mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake. 
 
 36 Then the s angel of the Lord went forth, and 
 smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred and 
 fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose 
 early in the morning, behold, they were all dead 
 corpses. 
 
 37 HSo Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, 
 and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh. 
 
 38 And it came to pass, as he was worshipping 
 in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech 
 and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword; 
 and they escaped into the land of f Armenia: and 
 Esar-haddon his son reigned in his stead. 
 
 CHAP. XXXVIII. 
 
 Hezekiah, by prayer, hath his life lengthened. 
 
 IN "those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. 
 And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came 
 unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, 
 *fSet thiue house in order: for thou shalt die, and 
 not live. 
 
 2 Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, 
 and prayed unto the Lord, 
 
 3 And said, c Remember now, Lord, I beseech 
 thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and 
 with a perfect heart, and have done that which is 
 good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept fsore. 
 
 4 H Then came the word of the Lord to Isaiah, 
 saying, 
 
 5 Go and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the Lord, 
 the God of David thy father, I have heard thy 
 prayer, I have seen thy tears ■ behold, I will add 
 unto thy days fifteen years

 9 H The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when 
 he had been sick, and was recovered of his sick- 
 ness : 
 
 10 I said in the cutting off of my days, I shall 
 go to the gates of the grave: I am deprived of the 
 residue of my years. 
 
 Ill said, I shall not see the Lord, even the Lord, 
 •'"in the land of the living: 1 shall behold man no 
 more with the inhabitants of the world. 
 
 12 'Mine age is departed, and is removed from 
 me as a shepherd's tent: I have cut off like a weaver 
 my life : he will cut me off || with pining sickness : from 
 day even to night wilt thou make an end of me. 
 
 13 I reckoned till morning, that, 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: A l 
 did mourn as a dove: mine eyes fail with loo/cinq up- 
 ward : O Lord, I am oppressed ; P undertake for me. 
 
 15 What shall I say? he hath both spoken unto 
 me, and himself hath done it: I shall go softly all 
 my years 'in the bitterness of my soul. 
 
 16 O Lord, 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 bitterness : but 
 f thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the 
 pit of corruption : for thou hast cast all my sins be- 
 hind thy back. 
 
 18 For *the grave cannot praise thee, death can- 
 not celebrate thee : they that go down into the pit 
 cannot hope for thy truth. 
 
 19 The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as 
 I do this day : 'the father to the children shall make 
 known thy truth. 
 
 20 The Lord was ready to save me : therefore we 
 will sing my songs to the stringed instruments all 
 the davs of our life in the house of the Lord. 
 
 21 For m Isaiah had said, Let them take a lump 
 of figs, and lay it for a plaster upon the boil, and 
 he shall recover. 
 
 22 " Hezekiah also had said, What is the sign 
 that I shall go up to the house of the Lord ? 
 
 CHAP. XXXIX. 
 
 Merodach-baladan, sending to visit Hezekiah, hath notice of his treasures 
 
 AT "that time Merodach-baladan, the son of Bal- 
 adan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a pres- 
 ent to Hezekiah : for he had heard that he had been 
 sick, and was recovered. 
 
 2 'And Hezekiah was glad of them, and shewed 
 them the house of his || precious things, the silver, 
 and the gold, and the spices, and the precious oint- 
 ment, and all the house of his ||f armour, and all 
 that was found in bis treasures : there was nothing 
 in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah 
 shewed them not.

 from whence came they unto theo? and Hezekiati

 said. They arc come from a far country unto mc,

 4 Then said he, What have they seen in thine 
 house? And Hezekiah answered. All that is in 
 mine house have they seen : there is nothing among 
 my treasures that I have not shewed them. 
 
 5 Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, Hear the word 
 of the Lord of hosts : 
 
 6 Behold, the days come, c that all that is in thine 
 nouse, and that which thy fathers have laid up in 
 store until this day, shall be carried to Babylon: 
 nothing shall be left, saith the Lord. 
 
 7 And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, 
 which thou shalt beget.shall the} r take away; and|| they 
 shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Bab}don.

 said moreover, For there shall be peace and truth 
 in my days.

 15 Behold, the nations arc as a drop of a bucket, 
 and are counted as the small dust of the balance. 
 behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing. 
 
 16 And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the 
 beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt-offering. ' . 
 
 17 All nations before him are as "nothing; and 
 p they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity. 
 
 18 IT To whom then will ye 'liken God? or what 
 likeness will ye compare unto him? 
 
 19 r The workman melteth a graven image, and 
 the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and cast- 
 eth silver chains. 
 
 20 He that f is so impoverished that he hath no 
 oblation chooseth a tree that will not rot; he seek- 
 eth unto him a cunning workman ' to prepare a gra- 
 ven image that shall not be moved. 
 
 21 'Have ye not known? have ye not heard? 
 hath it not been told you from the beginning? have 
 ye not understood from the foundations of the earth? 
 
 22 || It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the 
 earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshop- 
 pers; that "stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, 
 and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in : 
 
 23 That bringeth the ■* princes to nothing; he 
 maketh the judges of the earth as vanity. 
 
 24 Yea, they shall not be planted : yea, they shall 
 not be sown: yea, their stock shall not take root in 
 the earth : and he shall also blow upon them, and 
 they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take 
 them away as stubble. 
 
 25 y To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be 
 equal? saith the Holy One. 
 
 26 Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath 
 created these things, that bringeth out their host by 
 number : z iie calleth them all by names, by the great- 
 ness of his might, for that he is strong in power; 
 not one faileth. 
 
 27 Why say est thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O 
 Israel, My way is hid from the Lord, and my judg- 
 ment is passed over from my God ? 
 
 28 IT Hast thou not known, hast thou not heard, 
 that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of 
 the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is wea v y V 
 "there is no searching of his understanding. 
 
 29 He giveth power to the faint; and to ther 
 that have no might he increaseth strength. 
 
 30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, 
 and the young men shall utterly fall : 
 
 31 But they that wait upon the Lord * shall f re- 
 new their strength ; they shall mount up with wings 
 as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and 
 they shall walk, and not faint.

 2 Who raised up f the righteous man *from the east,

 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 chief men thereof, 
 and said unto thee, Thou art my servant; I have 
 chosen thee, and not cast thee away. 
 
 10 H ' Fear thou not ; m for I am with thee : be not 
 dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; 
 yea, 1 will help thee ; yea, I will uphold thee with

 11 Behold, all they that were incensed against thee 
 shall be " ashamed and confounded : they shall be as 
 nothing ; and f they that strive with thee shall perish. 
 
 12 Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, 
 even ftheni that contended with thee: fthey that 
 war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing 
 of nought. 
 
 13 box I the Lord thy God will hold thy right 
 hand, saying unto thee, "Fear not; I will help thee. 
 
 14 Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye || men of 
 Israel; I will help thee, saith the Lord, and thy 
 Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. 
 
 15 Behold, ^1 wdl make thee a new sharp thresh-

 hills as chaff 
 
 16 Thou shalt 'fan them, and the wind shall carry 
 them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them : 
 and thou shalt rejoice in the Lord, and 'shalt glory 
 in the Holy One of Israel. 
 
 17 When the poor and needy seek water, and there 
 is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the 
 Lord will hear them, / the God of Israel will not 
 forsake them. 
 
 18 I will open s rivers in high places, and fountains

 The office of Christ graced with meekness and constancy. 
 
 BEHOLD "my servant, whom I uphold; mine

 my Spirit upon him : he shall bring forth judgment 
 to the Gentiles. 
 
 2 He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice

 3 A bruised reed shall he not break, and the 
 || smoking flax shall he not f quench : he shall bring 
 forth judgment unto truth. 
 
 4 He shall not fail nor be t discouraged, till he 
 have set judgment in the earth: ''and the isles shall 
 wait for his law. 
 
 5 11 Thus saith God the Lord, 'he that created 
 the heavens, and stretched them out ; J he that spread 
 forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; 
 ^he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and 
 spirit to them that walk therein : 
 
 6 A I the Lord have called thee in righteousness, 
 and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, 'and 
 give thee for a covenant of the people, for *a light 
 of the Gentiles; 
 
 7 'To open the blind eyes, to m bring out the pris- 
 oners from the prison, and them that sit in "darkness 
 out of the prison-house. 
 
 8 I am the Lord : that is my name : and my 
 "glory will I not give to another, neither my praiso 
 to graven images. 
 
 9 Behold, the former things are come to pass, and 
 new things do I declare : before they spring forth 
 I tell you of them. 
 
 10 ''Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his 
 praise from the end of the earth, 9 ye that go down 
 to the sea, and fall that is therein; the isles, and 
 the inhabitants thereof. 
 
 11 Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift 
 up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit : 
 let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout 
 from the top of the mountains. 
 
 12 Let them give glory unto the Lord, and de- 
 clare his praise in the islands. 
 
 13 The Lord shall go forth as a mighty man. he

 cry, r yea, roar; he shall || prevail against his enemies 
 
 14 I have long time holden my peace ; I have been 
 still, and refrained myself: now will I cry like a trav- 
 ailing woman; I will destroy and f devour at once. 
 
 15 I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry 
 up all their herbs ; and I will make the rivers islands, 
 and I will dry up the pools.

 say to the molten images, Ye are our gods.

 19 ' Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my

 20 Seeing many things, "but thou observest not; 
 opening the ears, but he hearcth not. 
 
 21 The Loed is well pleased for his righteous- 
 ness' sake ; he will magnify the law, and make || it 
 honourable. 
 
 22 But this is a people robbed and spoiled; || they 
 are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in 
 prison-houses ; they are for a prey, and none deliv- 
 ereth, for f a spoil, and none saith, Restore. 
 
 23 Who among you will give ear to this? ivho 
 will hearken, and hear ffor the time to come? 
 
 24 Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the 
 robbers? did not the Lord, he against whom we 
 have sinned? for they would not walk in his ways, 
 neither were they obedient unto his law. 
 
 25 Therefore he hath poured upon him the fury 
 of his anger, and the strength of battle : x and it hath 
 set him on fire round about, y yet he knew not; and 
 it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart.

 Israel, thy Saviour: A I gave Egypt for thy ransom, 
 Ethiopia and Seba for thee. 
 
 4 Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast

 Bab/ioris destruction foretold 
 
 12 I have declared, and have saved, and I have 
 shewed, when there was no 'strange god among you : 
 " therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, 
 that I am God. 
 
 13 *Yea, before the day was, I am he; and there 
 is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will 
 work, and who shall t y let it? 
 
 14 II Thus saith the Lord, your Redeemer, the 
 Holy One of Israel ; For your sake I have sent to 
 Babylon, and have brought down all their f nobles, 
 and the Chaldeans, whose cry is in the ships. 
 
 15 I am the Lord, your Holy One, the Creator 
 of Israel, j^our King. 
 
 16 Thus saith the Lord, which *maketh a way in 
 the sea, and a "path in the mighty waters; 
 
 17 Which 6 bringeth forth the chariot and horse, 
 the army and the power; they shall lie down to- 
 gether, they shall not rise: they are extinct, they 
 are quenched as tow. 
 
 18 H c Remember ye not the former things, neither 
 consider the things of old. 
 
 19 Behold, I will do a d new thing; now it shall 
 spring forth ; shall ye not know it? e I will even make 
 a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. 
 
 20 The beast of the field shall honour me, the 
 dragons and the || fowls: because •''I give waters in 
 the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give 
 drink to my people, my chosen. 
 
 21 ^This people have I formed for myself; they 
 shall shew forth my praise. 
 
 22 IT But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; 
 but thou ''hast been weary of me, Israel. 
 
 23 *Thou hast not brought me the fsmall cattle of 
 thy burnt-offerings; neither hast thou honoured me 
 with thy sacrifices. I have not caused thee to serve 
 with an offering, nor wearied thee with incense. 
 
 24 Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with 
 money, neither hast thou f filled me with the fat 
 of thy sacrifices : but thou hast made me to serve 
 with thy sins, thou hast * wearied me with thine 
 iniquities. 
 
 25 I, even I, am he that 'blotteth out thy trans- 
 gressions "'for mine own sake, "and will not remem- 
 ber thy sins. 
 
 26 Put me in remembrance : let us plead together: 
 declare thou, that thou ttmyest be justified. 
 
 27 Thy first father hath sinned, and thy fteachers 
 have transgressed against me 
 
 28 Therefore "1 have profaned the || princes of the 
 sanctuaty, /'and have given Jacob to the curse, and 
 Israel to reproaches.

 G Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, 'and his 
 Receemer the Lord of hosts; f l am the first, and I 
 am the last; and besides me there is no God. 
 
 7 And *who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, 
 and set it in order for me, since I appointed the an- 
 cient people ? and the things that are coming, and 
 shall come, let them shew unto them. 
 
 8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid : Miave not I told 
 thee from that time, and have declared it? 'ye are _ 
 even my witnesses. Is there a God besides me? 
 yea, * there is no f God ; I know not any. 
 
 9 If 'They that make a graven image are all of 
 them vanity; and their f delectable 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, 
 image "that is profitable for nothing? 
 
 11 Behold, all his fellows shall be "ashamed: and 
 the workmen, they are of men : let them all be gath- 
 ered together, let them stand up; yet they shall fear, 
 and they shall be ashamed together. 
 
 12 p The smith || with the tongs both worketh in the 
 coals, and fashioneth it with hammers, and worketh it 
 with the strength of his arms : yea, he is hungry, and 
 Ins strength faileth : he drinketn no water, and is faint. 
 
 13 The carpenter stretcheth out his rule ; he mark- 
 eth it out with the line ; he fitteth it with planes, and 
 he marketh it out with the compass, and maketh it 
 after 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 taketh the 
 cypress and the oak, which he || strengtheneth for 
 himself among the trees of the forest: he planteth 
 an ash, and the rain doth nourish it. 
 
 15 Then shall it be for a man to burn: for he will 
 take thereof, and warm himself; yea, he kindleth 
 it, and baketh bread; yea, he maketh a god, and 
 worshippeth it; he maketh it a graven image, and 
 falleth down thereto. 
 
 16 He burnetii part thereof in the fire ; with part 
 thereof he eateth flesh; he roasteth roast, and is 
 satisfied : yea, he warmeth himself, and saith, Aha,

 whose "right hand I || have holden, A 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, r and make the crooked 
 places straight: d I will break in pieces the gates of 
 brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron : 
 
 3 And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, 
 and hidden riches of secret places, 'that thou may est 
 know that I, the Lord, which ^'call thee by thy name, 
 am the God of Israel. 
 
 4 For s Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine 
 elect, I have even called thee by thy name : I have 
 surnamed thee, though thou hast A not known me. 
 
 5 IF I 'am the Lord, and k there is none else, there 
 is no God besides me: 'I girded thee, though thou 
 hast not known me : 
 
 6 "' That they may know from the rising of the 
 sun, and from the west, that there is none besides 
 me. I am the Lord, and there is none else. 
 
 7 I form the light, and create darkness : I make 
 peace, and "create evil: I the Lord 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 righteous 
 ness spring up together; I the Lord have created it.

 Lord; and there is none else.

 God's judgment upon Babylon and Chaldea. 
 
 f^OME "down, and 'sit in the dust, O virgin 
 V^ daughter of Babylon, sit on the ground : there 
 is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou 
 shalt no more be called tender and delicate. 
 
 2 c Take the millstones, and grind meal: uncovei 
 thy locks, make bare the leg, uncover the thigh, 
 pass over the rivers. 
 
 3 ''Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy 
 shame shall be seen: C I will take vengeance, and I 
 will not meet thee as a man. 
 
 4 As for J 'our Redeemer, the Lord of hosts is his 
 name, the Holy One of Israel. 
 
 5 Sit thou ^silent, and get thee into darkness, O 
 daughter of the Chaldeans: A for thou shalt no more 
 be called, The lady of kingdoms. 
 
 6 II' I was wroth with, my people, *I have polluted 
 mine inheritance, and given them into thine hand : 
 thou didst shew them no mercy; 'upon the ancient 
 hast thou very heavily laid thy yoke. 
 
 7 IF And thou saidst, I shall be m a lady for ever: 
 so that thou diclst not "lay these things to thy heart, 
 "neither didst remember the latter end of it. 
 
 8 Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to 
 pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that say est in thine 
 heart, P I am, and none else besides me; 'I shall not sit 
 as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children : 
 
 9 But r these two things shall come to thee 'in a 
 moment in one day, the loss of children, and widow- 
 hood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection, 
 'for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great 
 abundance of thine enchantments. 
 
 10 IT For thou "hast trusted in thy wickedness : 
 ^thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy 
 knowledge, it hath || perverted thee; y and thou hast 
 said in thine heart, I am, and none else besides me. 
 
 11 IF Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou 
 shalt not know f from whence it riseth : and mischief 
 shall tail upon thee; thou shalt not be able to fput 
 it off: and ^desolation shall come upon thee sud- 
 denly, ivhich thou shalt not know. 
 
 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 t astrologers, the star-gazers. 
 
The. people a obstinacy. C H A 
 
 (■the monthly prognostic:) tors, stand up, and save 
 thee from these things that shall come upon thee. 
 
 14 Behold, they shall be 'as stubble ; the fire shall 
 burn them; they shall not deliver f themselves from 
 the power of the Game : there shall not be a coal to 
 warm at. nor fire to sit before it. 
 
 15 Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou 
 hast laboured, even rf thy merchants, from thy youth: 
 they shall wander every one to his quarter; none 
 shall ".ave thee. 
 
 CHAP. XLVIII. 
 
 God saveth his people for his oiin soke. 
 
 HEAR ye this, house of Jacob, which are called 
 by the name of Israel, and "are come forth out 
 of the waters of Judah, b which swear by the name 
 of the Lord, and make mention of the God of Is- 
 rael, c but not in truth, nor in righteousness. 
 
 2 For they call themselves ''of the holy city, and 
 'stay themselves upon the God of Israel ; The Lord 
 of hosts is his name. 
 
 3 'I have declared the former things from the 
 beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, 
 and I shewed them; I did them suddenly, A 'and they 
 came to pass. 
 
 4 Because I knew that thou art f obstinate, and 
 *thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass ; 
 
 5 'I have even from the beginning declared it to 
 thee; before it came to pass I shewed it thee: lest 
 thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them; and 
 my graven image, and my molten image, hath com- 
 manded them. 
 
 6 Thou hast heard, see all this ; and will not ye 
 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 begin- 
 ning; even before the day when thou heardest them 
 not; lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I know them. 
 
 8 Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; 
 yea, from that time that thine ear was not opened : 
 for 1 knew that thou wouldest deal very treacherous- 
 ly, and wast called *a transgressor from the womb. 
 
 9 IT 'For my name's sake "'will I defer mine anger, 
 and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut 
 thee not off. 
 
 10 Behold, "I have refined thee, but not || with sil- 
 ver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction. 
 
 11 ''For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, 
 will I do it: for 'how should my name be polluted? 
 and r I will not give my glory unto another. 
 
 12 IF Hearken unto me, Jacob and Israel, my 
 called; 'I am he; I am the 'first, 1 also am the last. 
 
 13 "Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the 
 earth, and || my right hand hath spanned the heavens : 
 when *I call unto them, they stand up together. 
 
 14 ^All ye, assemble yourselves and hear; which 
 among them hath declared these tilings ? -The Lord 
 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, 6 I have called 
 him: I have brought him, and he shall make his 
 waj' prosperous. 
 
 16 IF Come ye near unto me, hear ye this ; C I have 
 not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the 
 time that it was, there am I: and now ''the Lord 
 God, and his Spirit, hath sent me.

 One of Israel; I am the Lord thy God which

 CHAP. XLIX. 
 
 1 Christ complaineth of the Jews. 5 He is sent to the Gentiles 
 
 IISTEN, "O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye 
 ^ people, from far; 'The Lord hath called me 
 from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath 
 he made mention of my name. 
 
 2 And he hath made c my mouth like a sharp sword; 
 rf ln the shadow of his hand hath he hid me, and made 
 me e n polished shaft; in his quiver hath he hid me , 
 
 3 And said unto me, f Thou art my servant, O Is- 
 rael, s in whom I will be glorified. 
 
 4 ''Then I said, I have laboured .in vain, I have 
 spent my strength for nought, and in vain ; get surely 
 my judgment is with the Lord, and || my work w r ith 
 my God. 
 
 5 IF And now, saith the Lord 'that formed 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 eyes of the Lord, and my God shall 
 be my strength. 
 
 6 And he said, || It is a light thing that thoK 
 shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of 
 Jacob, and to restore the || preserved of Israel : I will 
 also give thee for a 'light to the Gentiles, that thou 
 niayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth. 
 
 7 Thus saith the Lord, the Redeemer of Israel, 
 and his Holy One, "' || to him whom man despiseth, to 
 him whom the nation abhorreth, to a servant of ru- 
 lers, " Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall 
 worship, because of the Lord that is faithful, and 
 the Holy One of Israel, and he shall choose thee. 
 
 8 Thus saith the Lord, "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 covenant to the people, to [| establish the earth, 
 to cause to inherit the desolate heritages : 
 
 9 That thou niayest say »to the prisoners. Go 
 forth; to them that are in darkness, Shew your- 
 selves. They shall feed in the w y ays, and their 
 pastures shall be in all high places. 
 
 10 They shall not 'hunger nor thirst, 'neither shall 
 the heat nor sun smite them: for he that 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 exalted.

 13 VSing, heavens; and be joyful, earth; 
 and break forth into singing, mountains : for the 
 Lord hath comforted his people, and will have mercy 
 upon his afflicted. 
 
 14 *But Zion said, The Lord hath forsaken me, 
 and my Lord hath forgotten me. 
 
 15 "Can a woman forget her sucking child, fthat 
 she should not have compassion on the son of her 
 womb? yea, they may forget, 6 yet will 1 not forget 
 thee. 
 
 16 Behold, 'I have graven thee upon the palms 
 of my hands ; thy walls are continually before me. 
 
 lY Thy children shall make haste; ''thy destroy- 
 ers and they that made thee waste shall go forth 
 of thee. 
 
 18 TF'Lift up thine eyes round about, and behold: 
 all these gather themselves together, and come to 
 thee. As I live, saith the Lord, thou shalt surely 
 clothe thee 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 the 
 land of thy destruction, s shall even now be too nar- 
 row by reason of the inhabitants, and they that 
 swallowed thee up shall be far away. 
 
 20 ''The children which thou shalt have, after 
 thou hast lost the other, 'shall say again in thine 
 ears, The place is too strait for me : give place to 
 me that I may dwell. 
 
 21 Then shalt thou say in thine heart, Who hath 
 begotten me these, seeing 1 have lost my children, 
 and am desolate, a captive, and removing to and 
 fro? and who hath brought up these? Behold, 1 
 was left alone ; these, where had they been? 
 
 22 * Thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I will lift 
 up mine hand to the Gentiles, and set up my stan- 
 dard to the people : and they shall bring thy sons 
 in their farms, and thy daughters shall be carried 
 upon their shoulders. 
 
 23 'And kings shall be thy f nursing fathers, and 
 their f queens thy nursing mothers : they shall bow 
 down to thee with their face toward the earth, and 
 m lick up the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know 
 that I am the Lord : for " they shall not be ashamed 
 that wait for me. 
 
 24 If" Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, 
 or fthe lawful captive delivered? 
 
 25 But thus saith the Lord, Even the f captives 
 of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of 
 the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend 
 with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save 
 thy children. 
 
 26 And I will /'feed them that oppress thee with 
 their own flesh ; and they shall be drunken with 
 their own q blood, as with If sweet wine : and all flesh 
 'shall know that I the Lord am thy Saviour and 
 thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.

 1 *dry up the sea, I make the "rivers a wilderness* 
 'their fish stinketh, because there is no water, and

 morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear tu hear

 5 IF The Lord God "hath opened mine ear, and I 
 was not ^rebellious, neither turned away back. 
 
 6 ? I gave my back to the smiters, and r my < heeks 
 to them that plucked off the hair : I hid n'-t my

 An exhortation, after the pattern of Abraham, to trust in Christ. 
 
 HEARKEN '"to me, 4 ye that follow after right- 
 eousness, ye that seek the Lord : look unto 
 the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole ot 
 the pit whence ye are digged. 
 
 2 c Look unto Abraham your father, and unto 
 Sarah that bare you : d for I called him alone, and 
 'blessed him, and increased him. 
 
 3 For the Lord f shall comfort Zion : he will com- 
 fort all her waste places ; and he will make her wil- 
 derness like Eden, and her desert -'like the garden ot 
 the Lord; joy and gladness shall be found therein, 
 thanksgiving, and the voice of melody. 
 
 4 IF Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear 
 unto me, O my nation: A for a law shall proceed 
 from me, and I will make my judgment to rest 'for 
 a light of the people. 
 
 5 fc My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone 
 forth, 'and mine arms shall judge the people; ""the isles 
 shall wait upon me, and "on mine arm shall they trust. 
 
 6 "Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon 
 the earth beneath: for fi the heavens shall vanish 
 away like smoke, 'and the earth shall wax old like 
 a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in 
 like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, 
 and my righteousness shall not be abolished. 
 
 7 IF ""Hearken unto me, ye that know righteous- 
 ness, the people 'in whose heart is my law: 'tear 
 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.

 because of the fury of the oppressor,as if hell were ready 
 to destroy? *and where is the fury of the oppressor? 
 
 14 The captive exile hasteneth that he may be 
 loosed, 'and that he should not die in the pit, nor 
 that his bread should fail. 
 
 15 But I am the Lord thy God, that m divided the 
 sea, whose waves roared : The Lord of hosts is his

 16 And "I have put my words in thy mouth, and 
 "have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand/' that 
 1 may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of 
 the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou art my people. 
 
 17 IT 'Awake, awake, stand up, Jerusalem,

 20 x Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head 
 of all the streets, as a wild bull in a net : they are full 
 of the fury of the Lord, the rebuke of thy God. 
 
 21 H Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and 
 drunken, y but not with wine: 
 
 22 Thus saith thy Lord the Lord, and thy God 
 Hhat pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I have 
 taken out of thine 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 them that 
 afflict thee : 'which have said to thy soul, Bow down, 
 that we may go over: and thou hast laid thy body 
 as the ground, and as the street, to them that went 
 over.

 •OING, barren, thou that didst not bear; break

 stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations; spare 
 not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes; 
 
 3 For thou shalt break forth on the right hand 
 and on the left; ''and thy seed shall inherit the Gen- 
 tiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited. 
 
 4 Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed : nei- 
 ther 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 
 widowhood any more. 
 
 5 ' For thy Maker is Ihine husband : The 'Lord of 
 hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One 
 of Israel; A 'The God of the whole earth shall he be

 7 ' For a small moment have I forsaken thee ; but 
 with great mercies will I gather thee.

 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 together, but 
 not by me: whosoever shall gather together against 
 thee shall fall for thy sake. 
 
 16 Behold, I have created the smith thatbloweth 
 the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an in- 
 strument for his work; and I have created the 
 waster to destroy. 
 
 17 IT No weapon that is formed against thee shall 
 prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against 
 thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the 
 heritage of the servants of the Lord, ''and their 
 righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.

 The prophet, with the promises of Christ, is called to faith. 
 
 HO, "every one that thirsteth, come ye to the 
 waters, and he that hath no money; *come ye, 
 buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk with- 
 out money and without price. 
 
 2 Wherefore do ye' f spend money for that which is 
 not broad ? and your labour for that which satisfietb. 
 not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye thai 
 whichis good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness. 
 
 3 Incline your ear, and c come unto me : hear, and 
 your soul shall live ; ''and I will make an everlasting 
 covenant with you, even the 'sure mercies of David. 
 
 4 Behold, I have given him for J '& witness to the 
 people, fa leader and commander to the people. 
 
 5 '' Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou know- 
 est not, 'and nations that knew not thee shall run 
 unto thee, because of the Lord thy God, and for tho 
 Holy One of Israel; *for he hath glorified thee. 
 
 6 H'Seek ye the Lord while he maybe found, 
 call ye upon him while he is near: 
 
 7 "'Let the wicked forsake his way, and fthe un 
 righteous man "his thoughts: and let him return 
 unto the Lord, "and he will have mercy upon him 
 and to our God, for fhe will abundantly pardon. 
 
 8 IK For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nei- 
 ther are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. 
 
 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 rain cometh down, and the snow 
 from heaven, and returneth not thither, but water- 
 eth 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 out of 
 my mouth : it shall not return unto me void, but it 
 shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall 
 prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. 
 
 12 'For ye shall go out 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 y Instead of x the thorn shall come up the fir- 
 tree, and instead of the brier shall come up tiie 
 myrtle-tree : and it shall be to the Lord "for a name, 
 for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.

 The prophet deelarelh what promises are due to the keeping of the sab- 
 bath. 
 
 CRY t aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a 
 trumpet, and shew my people their transgres- 
 sion, and the house of Jacob their sins. 
 
 2 Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know 
 
 my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and 
 forsook not the ordinance of their God : they ask 
 of me the ordinances of justice : they take delight 
 in approaching to God. 
 
 3 If" Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou 
 seest not? wherefore have we 'afflicted our soul, and 
 thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of 
 your fast ye find pleasure,and exact all your || flabours 
 
 4 'Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to 
 smite with the fist of Avickedness : || ye shall not 
 fast as ye d( this day, to make your voice to be heard 
 on high. 
 
 5 Is it rf such a fist that I have chosen? '|| a day 
 for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down his 
 head as a bulrush, and •''to spread sackcloth and ashes 
 under Mm? wilt thou call this a fast, and an accept- 
 able day to the Lord? 
 
 6 Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose 
 the bands of Avickedness, g to undo fthe heavy bur- 
 dens, aud Ho let the f oppressed go free, and that 
 ye break every yoke? 
 
 7 h it not ' to deal thy bread to the hungry, and 
 
 463 
 
The promises to godliness, (be. 
 
 that thou bring the poor that are || c;fst out to thy 
 house? * when thou seest the naked, that thou coyer 
 him; and that thou hide not thyself from 'thine 
 own flesh ? 
 
 8 If "'Then shall thy light break forth as the morn- 
 ing, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: 
 and thy righteousness shall go before thee; "the 
 glory of the Loud f shall be thy rere-ward. 
 
 9 Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall answer; 
 thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If 
 thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, 
 the nutting forth of the ringer, and "speaking vanity; 
 
 l6 And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, 
 and satisfy the afflicted soul ; then shall thy light rise 
 in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noon-day : 
 
 11 And the Lord shall guide thee continually, 
 and satisfy thy soul in f drought, and make fat thy 
 bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and 
 like a spring of water, whose waters ff^il not. 
 
 12 And they that shall be of thee ; ' shall build the 
 old waste places: thou shalt raise up the founda- 
 tions of many generations; and thou shalt be called, 
 The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths 
 to dwell in. 
 
 13 II If 'thou turn away tby foot from the sab- 
 bath, from loing thy pleasure on my holy day ; and 
 call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, 
 honourable ; and shalt honour him, not doing thine 
 own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor 
 speaking thine oivn words : 
 
 14 r Then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord; 
 and I will cause thee to 'ride upon the high places 
 of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of 
 Jacob thy father: 'for the mouth of the Lord hath 
 6poken it. 
 
 CHAP. LIX. 
 
 1 The damnable nature of sin. 3 The sins of the Jews. 
 
 BEHOLD, the Lord's hand is not "shortened, 
 that it cannot save ; neither his ear heavy, that 
 it cannot hear : 
 
 2 But your iniquities have separated between 
 and your God, and your sins || have hid his 
 from you, that he will not hear. 
 For ''your hands are defiled with blood, and 
 your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken 
 lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness. 
 
 4 None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for 
 truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; c they 
 conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity. 
 
 5 They hatch || cockatrice's eggs, and weave the 
 spider's web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, 
 and || that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper. 
 
 6 d Their webs shall not become garments, neither 
 shall they cover themselves with their works: their 
 woi'ks are works of iniquity, 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 ; wasting and f destruction are in their paths. 
 
 8 The way of peace they know not: and there is 
 no || judgment in their goings: 'they have made 
 them crooked paths : whosoever goeth therein shall 
 not know peace. 
 
 9 II Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth 
 justice overtake us: f we wait for light, but behold 
 obscurity; for brightness, but we walk in darkness. 
 
 10 *We grope, for the wall like the blind, and we 
 erope as if we had no eyes : we stumble at noon-day

 as in the night; we are in desolate places as dead 
 men. 
 
 11 We roar all like bears, and 'mourn 
 doves: we look for judgment, but there 
 for salvation, bid it is far off from us. 
 
 12 For our transgressions are multiplied before 
 thee, and our sins testify against us : for our trans- 
 gressions are with us ; and as for our iniquities, we 
 know them; 
 
 13 In transgressing and lying against the Lord, 
 and departing away from our God, speaking op- 
 pression and revolt, conceiving and uttering *from 
 the heart words of falsehood. 
 
 14 And judgment is turned away backward, and 
 justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the 
 street, and equity cannot enter. 
 
 15 Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from 
 evil || maketh himself a prey : and the Lord saw it, 
 and fit displeased him that there was no judgment. 
 
 16 II 'And he saw that there was no man, and 
 "•wondered that there was no intercessor: "therefore 
 his arm brought salvation unto him; and his right- 
 eousness, it sustained him. 
 
 17 "For he put on righteousness as a breast- 
 plate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head; 
 and he pnt on the garments of vengeance for cloth- 
 ing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak. 
 
 18 ^According to their f deeds, accordingly 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 the Lorp 
 from the west, and his glory from the rising of the 
 sun. When the enemy shall come in 'like a flood, 
 the Spirit of the Lord shall || lift up a standard 
 against him. 
 
 20 H And 'the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and 
 unto them that turn from trangression in Jacob, 
 saith the Lord. 
 
 21 'As for me, this is my covenant with them, 
 saith the Lord ; My Spirit that is upon 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 the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.

 ARISE, " || shine; for thy light is come, and *the 
 glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. 
 
 2 For behold, the darkness shall cover the eartn, 
 and gross darkness the people : but the Lord shall 
 arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. 
 
 3 And the c Gentiles shall come to thy light, and 
 kings to the brightness of thy rising. 
 
 4 d Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: ati 
 they gather themselves together/ they come to thee : 
 thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters 
 shall be nursed at thy side. 
 
 5 Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and 
 thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because J the 
 llabundance of the sea shall be converted unto tnee, 
 the || forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee. 
 
 6 The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the 
 dromedaries of Midian and*Ephah; all they from 
 ''Sheba shall come: they shall bring 'gold and in- 
 cense ; and they shall shew forth the praises of the 
 Lord. 
 
 7 All the flocks of *Kedar shall be gathered togeth- 
 er unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister 
 
The glory of the church. 
 
 unto thee: they shall come up with acceptance on 
 mine altar, and 'I will glorify the house of my glory. 
 S Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the 
 doves to their windows? 
 
 9 '" Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships 
 of Tarshish first, "to bring thy sons from far, 'their 
 silver and their gold with them, ''unto the name of 
 the Lord thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel 
 9 because he hath glorified thee. 
 
 10 And r the sons of strangers shall build up thy 
 walls, 'and their kings shall minister unto thee: for 
 'in my wrath I smote thee, "but in my favour have 
 I had mercy on thee. 
 
 11 Therefore thy gates x shall be open continually; 
 they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may 
 bring unto thee the || forces of the Gentiles, and that 
 their kings may be brought. 
 
 12 v For the nation and kingdom that will not serve 
 thee shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly 
 wasted. 
 
 13 x The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, 
 the fir-tree, the pine-tree, and the box together, to 
 beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will 
 make "the place of my feet glorious. 
 
 14 The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall 
 come bending unto thee; and all they that despised 
 thee shall * bow themselves down at the soles of thy 
 feet; and they shall call thee, The city of the Lord, 
 'The Zion of the Holy One of Israel. 
 
 15 Whereas thou hast been forsaken and hated, 
 so that no man went through thee, I will make thee 
 an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations. 
 
 16 Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles, 
 'and shalt suck the breast of kings: and thou shalt 
 know that 'I the Lord am thy Saviour and thy 
 Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob. 
 
 17 For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will 
 bring silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron : 
 I will also make thy officers peace, and thine exactors 
 righteousness. 
 
 18 Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, 
 wasting nor destruction within thy borders ; but thou 
 slialt call J thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise. 
 
 19 The *sun shall be no more thy light by day: 
 neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto 
 thee: but the Lord shall be unto thee an everlast- 
 ing light, and * thy God thy glory. 
 
 20 ' Thy sun shall no more go down ; neither shall 
 thy moon withdraw itself; for the Lord shall be 
 thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning 
 shall be ended. 
 
 21 *Thy people also shall be all righteous: 'they 
 shall inherit the land for ever, m the branch of my 
 planting, "the work of my hands, that I may be 
 glorified. 
 
 22 *A little one shall become a thousand, and a 
 small one a strong nation : I the Lord will hasten 
 it in his time.

 THE ° Spirit of the Lord God is upon me ; because

 broken-hearted, to proclaim '' liberty to the captives,

 3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, *td 
 give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for 
 mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit <>{ 
 heaviness; that they might be called Trees of riiiliL- 
 eousness, 'The planting of the Lokd, *that he might 
 be glorified. 
 
 4 IF And they shall 'build the old wastes, they shall 
 raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair 
 the waste cities, the desolations of man}' 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 the Lord: 
 men shall call you the Ministers of our God: 'ye 
 shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in theii 
 glory shall ye boast yourselves. 
 
 7 H^For your shame ye shall have double; and 
 for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion 
 therefore in their land they snail possess the double: 
 everlasting joy shall be unto them. 
 
 8 For «I the Lord love judgment, ' I hate robbery 
 for burnt-offering ; and I will direct their work in 
 truth, ' and I will make an everlasting covenant with 
 them. 
 
 9 And their seed shall be known among the 
 Gentiles, and their offspring among the people : all 
 that see them shall acknowledge them, 'that they 
 are the seed which the Lord hath blessed. 
 
 10 "I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul 
 shall be joyful in my God; for x he hath clothed me 
 with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me 
 with the robe of righteousness, y as a bridegroom 
 fdecketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride 
 adorneth herself with her jewels. 
 
 11 For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as 
 the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to 
 spring forth; so the Lord God will cause *righteous- 
 ness and "praise to spring forth before all the nations.

 Christ sheweth his power to save. 
 
 WHO is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed 
 garments from Bozrah ? this that is f glorious 
 in his aoparel, travelling in the greatness of his 
 strength: I that speak in righteousness, mighty to 
 save. 
 
 2 Wherefore "art thou red in thine apparel, and thy 
 garments like him that treadeth in the wine-fat? 
 
 3 I have * trodden the wine-press alone; and of 
 the people there was none with me: for 1 will tread 
 them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury, 
 and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, 
 and I will stain all my raiment. 
 
 4 For the c day of vengeance is in mine heart, 
 and the year of my redeemed is come. 
 
 5 rf And I looked, and e there was none to help; and 
 1 wondered that there was none to uphold : there- 
 fore mine own Airm brought salvation unto me; 
 and my fury, it upheld me. 
 
 6 And I will tread down the people in mine an- 
 ger, and *make them drunk in my fury, and I will 
 bring down their strength to the earth. 
 
 7 HI will mention the loving-kindnesses of the 
 Lord, and the praises of the Lord, according to all 
 that the Lord hath bestowed on us, and the great 
 goodness toward the house ol Israel, which he hath 
 bestowed on them according to his mercies, and ac- 
 cording to the multitude of his loving-kindnesses. 
 
 8 For he said, Surely they are my people, chil- 
 dren that 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 bare them, 
 and carried them all the days of old. 
 
 10 IT But they '"rebelled, and "vexed 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 that 'brought them 
 up out of the sea with the || shepherd of his flock? 
 • where is he that put his Holy Spirit within him? 
 
 12 That led them by the right hand of Moses 
 with his glorious arm, ' dividing the water before 
 
 them, to make himself an everlasting name? 
 
 13 'That led them through the deep as an horse 
 in the wilderness, that they should not stumble ? 
 
 14 As a beast goeth down into the valley, the 
 Spirit of the Lord caused him to rest : so didst thou 
 'ead thy people, "to make thyself a glorious name.

 The church pray eth for the illustration of God's power. 
 
 OH that thou wouldest "rend the heavens, that 
 thou wouldest come down, that Hhe mountains 
 might flow down at thy presence, 
 
 2 As when f the melting fire burneth. the fire caus- 
 eth 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 since the beginning of the world 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 that waiteth for him. 
 
 5 Thou meetest him that rejoiceth 'and worketh 
 righteousness, 7 those that remember thee in thy ways : 
 behold, thou art wroth; for we have sinned: *in 
 those is continuance, and we shall be saved. 
 
 6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all h our 
 righteousnesses are as filthy rags ; and we all do 'fade 
 as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have 
 taken us away. 
 
 7 And k there is none that calleth upon thy name, 
 that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for 
 thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast f consumed 
 us, f because of our iniquities. 
 
 8 'But now, O Lord, thou art our Father; we 
 are the clay, "'and thou our potter; and we all are 
 "the work of thy hand. 
 
 9 HBe not "wroth very sore, O Lord, neither re- 
 member iniquity for ever : behold, see, we beseech 
 thee, 'we are all thy people. 
 
 10 Thy holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a 
 wilderness, '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 for these things, O 
 Lord? "wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us very 
 sore ?

 1 The calling of the Gentiles. 2 The Jews are rejected. 
 
 I "AM sought of than that asked not for me; I 
 am found of them that sought me not: I said, 
 Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that 'was not 
 called by my name. 
 
 2 C I have spread out my hands all the day unto 
 a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that was 
 not good, after their own thoughts ; ■ 
 
 3 A people ''that provoketh me to anger continually 
 
The Jews rejected 
 
 to my face; 'that saerifi'ceth in gardens, and burnetii 
 incense fupc-n altars of brick; 
 
 4 /Which remain among the graves, and lodge 
 in the monuments, g which eat swine's flesh, and 
 l| broth of abominable things is in Iheir vessels; 
 
 5 * Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to 
 me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke 
 in my || nose, a fire that burnetii all the day. 
 
 6 Behold, l it is written before me: *I will not 
 keep silence, 'but will recompense, even recompense 
 into their bosom, 
 
 7 Your iniquities, and m the iniquities of your 
 fathers together, saith the Lord, " which have burned 
 incense upon the mountains, 'and blasphemed me 
 upon the hills : therefore will I measure their former 
 work into their bosom. 
 
 8 H Thus saith the Lord, As the new wine is found 
 in the cluster, and one saith, Destroy it not; for p a 
 blessing is in 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 
 mine 'elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall 
 dwell there. 
 
 10 And r Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and 'the 
 valley of Achor a place for the herds to lie down in, 
 for my people that have sought me. 
 
 11 IF But ye are they that forsake the Lord, that 
 forget 'my holy mountain, that prepare "a table for 
 that || troop, and that furnish the drink-offering unto 
 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 spake, ye 
 did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did 
 choose that wherein I delighted not. 
 
 13 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, 
 my servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry : be- 
 hold, 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 y shall howl 
 for f vexation of spirit. 
 
 15 And ye shall leave your name x for a curse unto 
 •my chosen: for the Lord God shall slay thee, and 
 'call his servants by another name : 
 
 16 c That he who blesseth himself in the earth, 
 shall bless himself in the God of truth ; and ''he that 
 sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of 
 truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, 
 and because they are hid from mine eyes. 
 
 17 IT For behold, I create 'new heavens and anew 
 earth : and the former shall not be remembered, nor 
 t come into mind. 
 
 18 But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that 
 which I create: for behold, 1 create Jerusalem a 
 rejoicing, and her people a joy. 
 
 19 And f I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in 
 my people: and the * voice of weeping shall be no 
 more heard in her, nor the voice of crying. 
 
 20 There shall be no more thence an infant of 
 days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days : 
 for the child shall die an hundred years old : ''but the 
 sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed. 
 
 21 And 'they shall build houses and mlmb'iktkem; 
 and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of 
 tb^m.

 I will hear.

 CHAP. LXVI. 
 
 Tlte gleiriovs God will be served in humble sincerity. 
 
 THUS saith the Lord, "The heaven is my throne, 
 and the earth is my footstool: where is the 
 house that ye build unto me? and where is the 
 place of my rest? 
 
 2 For all those things hath mine hand made, and 
 all those things have been, saith the Lord: 6 but to 
 this man will I look, c even to him that is poor and of 
 a contrite spirit, and ''trembleth at my word. 
 
 3 e He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; 
 he that sacrificeth a || lamb, as if he J cut off a dog's 
 neck ; he that offereth an oblation, as if he offered 
 swine's blood; he that f burnetii incense, as if he bles- 
 sed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, 
 and their soul delighteth in their abominations. 
 
 4 I also will choose their || delusions, and will 
 bring their fears upon them ; g because when I called, 
 none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear, 
 but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that 
 in which I delighted not. 
 
 5 IT Hear the word of the Lord, A ye that tremble 
 at his word : Your brethren that hated you, that 
 cast you out for my name's sake, said, 'Let the 
 Lord be glorified: but *he shall appear to your joy, 
 and they shall be ashamed. 
 
 6 A voice of noise from the city, a voice from 
 the temple, a voice of the Lord that 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 nation 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? saith the Lord: shall I cause to bring 
 forth, and shut the womb ? 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 with the 
 breasts of her consolations ; that ye may milk out, 
 and be delighted with the || abundance of her glory. 
 
 12 For thus saith the Lord, Behold, 'I Avill ex- 
 tend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the 
 Gentiles like a flowing stream : then shall ye m suck- 
 ye shall be " borne upon her sides, and be dandled 
 upon her knees. 
 
 13 As one whom his mother comforteth, so will 1 
 comfort you : and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem 
 
 14 And when ye see this, your heart shall rejoico, 
 
 and "your bones shall flourish like an herb : and the 
 
 467 - 
 
TJic calling of Jews and 
 
 hand of the Lord shall he known toward his servants, 
 and his indignation toward his enemies. 
 
 15 'For behold, the Lord will come with fire, and 
 with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his an- 
 ger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire. 
 
 16 For by fire and by ''his sword will the Lord 
 plead with all flesh : and the slain of the Lord shall 
 be many. 
 
 17 r They that sanctify themselves, and purify them- 
 selves in the gardens || behind one tree in the midst, 
 eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the 
 mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the Lord. 
 
 18 For I know their works and their thoughts; it 
 shall come, 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 unto the nations, to 
 Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal, 
 and Javan, to the isles afar off, that have not heard 
 my fame, neither have seen my glory; 'and they shall 
 declare my glory among the Gentiles.

 CHAP. I. 
 
 The time and the calling of Jeremiah. 
 
 THE words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of 
 the priests that were "in Anathoth in the land 
 of Benjamin : 
 
 2 To whom the word of the Lord came in the 
 days of Josiah the son of Anion king of Judah, 6 in 
 the thirteenth year of his reign. 
 
 3 It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son 
 of Josiah king of Judah, c unto the end of the eleventh 
 year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah king of Judah, 
 •Mmto the carrying away of Jerusalem captive 'in the 
 fifth month. 
 
 4 Then the word of the Lord came unto me, 
 Baying, 
 
 5 Before I ^ formed thee in the belly, S I knew 7 
 thee ; and before thou earnest forth out of the womb 
 I h sanctified thee, and I f ordained thee a prophet 
 unto the nations. 
 
 6 Then said I, 'Ah, Lord God ! behold, I cannot 
 speak: for I am a child. 
 
 7 11 But the Lord said unto me, Say not, I am a 
 child : for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, 
 and * whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak. 
 
 8 'Be not afraid of their faces: for m I am with 
 thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord. 
 
 9 Then the Lord put forth his hand, and "touched 
 my mouth. And the Lord said unto me, Behold, I 
 have "put my words in thy mouth. 
 
 10 ^See, I havi. this day set thee over the na- 
 tions and over the kingdoms, to ''root out, and to 
 pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to 
 build, and to plant. 
 
 11 If Moreover the word of the Lord came unto 
 me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou? And I said, 
 [ see a rod of an almond-tree. 
 
 12 Then said the Lord unto me, Thou hast well 
 seen : for I will hasten my word to perform it. 
 
 13 And the word of the Lord came unto me the 
 second time, saying, What seest thou ? And I said. 
 I see r a seething- pot; and the face thereof is f toward 
 f he north.

 God expostulated with the Jews. 
 
 "I/F OREOVER the word of the Lord came to me, 
 
 lv-1 saying, 
 
 2 Go, and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, 
 Thus saith the Lord; I remember || thee, the kind- 
 ness of thy "youth, the love of thine espousals, 
 4 when thou wentest after me in the wilderness, in a 
 land that was not sown. 
 
 3 "Israel was holiness unto the Lord, and' 1 the first- 
 fruits of his increase: e all that devour him shall of 
 fend; evil shall come upon them, saith the Lord. 
 
 4 Hear ye the word of the Lord, O house of Ja 
 cob, and all the families of the house of Israel : 
 
 5 If Thus saith the Lord, s What iniquity have you/ 
 fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, 
 ^and have walked after vanity, and are become vain? 
 
 6 Neither said they, Where is the Lord that 
 A brought us up out of the land of Egypt, that led 
 us through 'the wilderness, through a land of deserts 
 
Gxits expostulation with the Jews. 
 
 and of pits, through a land of drought, aiR of" the 
 shadow of death, through a land that no man passed 
 through, and where no man dwelt? 
 
 7 And I brought you into ||*a plentiful country, 
 to eat the fruit thereof and the goodness thereof; 
 but when ye entered, ye 'defiled my land, and made 
 mine heritage an abomination. 
 
 8 The priests said not, Where is the Lord? and 
 they that handle the "law knew me not: the pastors 
 also transgressed against me; "and the prophets 
 prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that 
 
 do not profit. 
 
 9 *ff Wherefore p I will yet plead with you, saith the 
 Lord, and 'with your children's children will I plead. 
 
 10 For pass Hover the isles of Chittim, and see; 
 and send unto Kedar, and consider diligently, and 
 see if there be such a thing. 
 
 11 r Hath a nation changed their gods, which are 
 'vet no gods? 'but my people have changed their 
 p-lory for "that which 'doth not profit. 
 
 12 x Be astonished, ye heavens, at this, and be 
 horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the Lord. 
 
 13 For my people have committed two evils; they 
 have forsaken me the y fountain of living waters, and 
 hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can 
 uold no water. 
 
 14 His Israel *a servant? is he a home-born 
 slave ? why is he f spoiled ? 
 
 15 " The young lions roared upon him, and f yelled, 
 and they made his land waste : his cities are burned 
 without inhabitant. 
 
 16 /Use the children of Noph and 'Tahapanes 
 || have broken the crown of thy head. 
 
 17 c Hast thou not procured this unto thyself, in 
 that thou hast forsaken the Lord thy God, when ''he 
 led thee by the way? 
 
 18 And now what hast thou to do 'in the way of 
 Egypt, to drink the waters of ASihor? or what hast 
 thou to do in the way of Assyria, to drink the wa- 
 ters of the river ? 
 
 19 Thine own B wickedness shall correct thee, and 
 thy backslidings shall reprove thee : know therefore 
 and see that it is an evil thing and bitter, that thou 
 hast forsaken the Lord thy God, and that my fear 
 is not in thee, saith the Lord God of hosts. 
 
 20 IF For of old time I have broken thy yoke, and 
 burst thy bands; and Hhou saidst, I will not || trans- 
 gress; when 'upon every high hill and under every 
 green tree thou wanderest, * playing the harlot. 
 
 21 Yet I had 'planted thee a noble vine, wholly 
 a right seed: how then art thou turned into "'the 
 degenerate plant of a strange vine unto me ? 
 
 "22 For though thou " wash thee with nitre, and 
 take thee much soap, yet "thine iniquity is marked 
 before me, saith the Lord God. 
 
 23 ''How canst thou say, I am not polluted, I 
 have not gone after Baalim? See thy way 'in the 
 valley, know what thou hast done : || thou art a swift 
 dromedary traversing her ways ; 
 
 24 r || A wild ass f used to the wilderness, that snuf- 
 feth up the wind at f her pleasure ; in her occasion who 
 can || turn her away ? all they that seek her will not 
 weary themselves ; in her month they shall find her. 
 
 25 Withhold thy foot from being unshod, and thy 
 throat from thirst: but 'thou saidst, || There is no 
 nope: no; for I have loved 'strangers, and after 
 them will 1 go.

 1 God's great mercy in Judah's vile whoredom, 12 The promises of th* 
 gospel to the penitent. 
 
 THEY" f say, If a man put away his wife, and she 
 go from him, and become another man's, "shall 
 he return unto her again? shall not that ''land be 
 greatly polluted ? but thou hast "played the harlot 
 with many lovers; d yet return again to me, saith 
 the Lord. 
 
 2 Lift up thine eyes unto ' the high places, and see 
 where thou hast not been lien with. •'In the ways 
 hast thou sat for them, as the Arabian in the wil- 
 derness; *and thou hast polluted the land with thy 
 whoredoms, and with thy wiokedness. 
 
 3 Therefore the A showers have been withholden, 
 and there hath been no latter rain; and thou hadst 
 a 'whore's forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed. 
 
 4 Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, My 
 father, thou art 'the guide of *my youth? 
 
 5 "'Will he reserve Ms anger tor ever? will he 
 keep it to the end ? Behold, thou hast spoken and 
 done evil things as thou couldest. 
 
 6 HThe Lord said also unto me in the days of 
 Josiah the king, Hast thou seen that which "back 
 sliding Israel hath done? she is "gone up upon every 
 high mountain, and under every green tree, and 
 
 mountain, 
 
 Turn thou unto me. But she returned not And 
 her treacherous 7 sister Judah saw it. 
 
 there hath played the harlot. 
 
 7 'And I said after she had done all these things, 
 
 toy 
 
TJie promises of the gospel. 
 
 8 And I saw, when r for all the causes whereby 
 backsliding Israel committed adultery, I had 'mit 
 her away, and given her a bill of divorce; 'yet her 
 treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and 
 played the harlot also. 
 
 9 And it came to pass through the || lightness of 
 her whoredom, that she "defiled the land, and com- 
 mitted adultery with x stones and with stocks. 
 
 10 And yet for all this, her treacherous sister 
 Judah hath not turned unto me y with her whole 
 heart, but f feignedly, saith the Lord. 
 
 11 And the Lord said unto me, ''The backsliding 
 Israel hath justified herself more than treacherous 
 Judah. 
 
 12 II Go and proclaim these words toward "the 
 north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, 
 saith the Lord; and I will not cause mine anger to 
 fall upon you: for I am * merciful, saith the Lord, 
 and I will not keep anger for ever. 
 
 13 c Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou 
 hast transgressed against the Lord thy God, arcd 
 hast ''scattered thy ways to the 'strangers •''under 
 every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, 
 saith the Lord. 
 
 14 Turn, backsliding children, saith the Lord; 
 * for I am married unto you : and I will take you 
 " oue of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring 
 yov to Zion: 
 
 15 And I will give you "pastors according to 
 mine heart, which shall Teed you with knowledge 
 and understanding. 
 
 16 And it shall come to pass, when ye be multi- 
 plied and increased in the land, in those days, saith 
 the Lord, they shall say no more, The ark of the 
 covenant of the Lord: 'neither shall it fcome to 
 mind: neither shall they remember it; neither shall 
 they visit it; neither shall || that be done any more. 
 
 17 At that time they shall call Jerusalem the 
 throne of the Lord; and all the nations shall be 
 gathered unto it, "'to the name of the Lord, to Je- 
 rusalem : neither shall they " walk any more after 
 the || imagination of their evil heart. 
 
 18 In those days "the house of Judah shall walk 
 || with the house of Israel, and they shall come to- 
 gether out of the land of ^ the north to 'the land that 
 I have || given for an inheritance unto your fathers. 
 
 19 But I said, How shall I put thee among the 
 children, and give thee 'a \ pleasant land, fa goodly 
 heritage of the hosts of nations ? and I said, Thou 
 shalt call me, 'My father; and shalt not turn away 
 ffrom me. 
 
 20 IT Surely as a •wife treacherously departeth

 1 God rallelh Israel by his promise. 3 He exhorteih Jvdah io repentance. 
 
 IF thou wilt return, O Israel, saith the Lord, "re- 
 turn unto me : and if thou wilt put away thine 
 abominations out of my sight, then shalt thou not 
 remoA'e. 
 
 2 'And thou shalt swear. The Lord liveth, r in 
 truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; d and the 
 nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him 
 shall they ''glory. 
 
 3 II For thus saith the Lord to the men of Judah 
 and Jerusalem, {. Break up your fallow ground, and 
 ^sow not among thorns. 
 
 4 ''Circumcise yourselves to the Lord, and take 
 away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah 
 and inhabitants of Jerusalem;- lest my fury come 
 forth like fire, and burn 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 defenceo. cities. 
 
 6 Set up the standard toward Zion: || retire, stay 
 not: ftr I will bring evil from the * north, aud a 
 great f destruction. 
 
 7 'The lion is come up from his thicket, and '"the 
 destroyer of the Gentiles is on his way; he is 
 gone forth from his place "to make thy land deso- 
 late ; and thy cities shall be laid waste, without an 
 inhabitant. 
 
 8 For this "gird you veith sackcloth, lament and 
 howl : for the fierce anger of the Lord is not turned 
 back from us. 
 
 9 And it shall come to pass at that day, saith the 
 Lord, that the heart of the king shall perish, and the 
 heart of the princes; and the priests shall be aston- 
 ished, and the prophets shall wonder. 
 
 10 Then said I, Ah, Lord God! ^surely thou hast 
 greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, ¥ saying, 
 Ye shall have peace; whereas the sword reach eth 
 unto the soul. 
 
 11 At that time shall it be said to this people 
 and to Jerusalem, r A dry wind of the high places 
 in the wilderness toward the daughter of my peo- 
 ple, not to fan, nor to cleanse, 
 
 12 Even || a' full wind from those places shall come 
 unto me: now also 'will I fgive sentence against 
 them. 
 
 13 Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and 'his 
 chariots shall be as a whirlwind: "his horses are 
 swifter than eagles. Wo unto us! for we are 
 spoiled. 
 
 14 O Jerusalem, 'wash thine heart from wicked- 
 ness, that thou mayest be saved. How long shall 
 thy vain thoughts lodge within thee ? 
 
 15 For a voice declareth *from Dan, and pub- 
 lisheth affliction from mount Ephraim. 
 
 16 Make ye mention to the nations; behold, pub- 
 lish against Jerusalem, that watchers come I from a 
 far country, and give out their voice against the 
 cities of Judah. 
 
 17 "As keepers of a field, are they against h&r 
 round about; because she hath been rebellious 
 against me, saith the Lord. 
 
A lament ation Jor Judah. 
 
 18 'Thy way and thy doings have procured these 
 things unto thee; this is thy wickedness, because it 
 is hitter, because it reach 6 th unto thine heart. 
 
 19 IT My c bowels, my bowels ! I am pained at fmy 
 very heart; my heart maketh a noise in me; 1 cannot 
 hold my peace, because thou hast heard, my soul, 
 (he sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war. 
 
 20 ''Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the 
 whole land is spoiled : suddenly are 'my tents spoiled, 
 and my curtains in a moment. 
 
 21 llow long shall I see the standard, and hear 
 the sound of the trumpet? 
 
 22 For my people is foolish, they have not known 
 me; they are sottish children, and they have none 
 understanding; Ahey are wise to do evil, but to do 
 good they have no knowledge. 
 
 23 * I beheld the earth, and. lo, it was h without form, 
 and void; and the heavens, and they had no light. 
 
 24 'I beheld the mountains, and lo, they trembled, 
 and all the hills moved lightly. 
 
 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 wil- 
 derness, and all the cities thereof were broken down 
 at the presence of the Lord, and by his fierce anger. 
 
 27 For thus hath the Lord said, The whole land 
 shall be desolate; 'yet will 1 not make a full end. 
 
 28 For this '"shall the earth mourn, and "the 
 heavens above be black : because I have spoken it, 
 I have purposed it, and "will not repent, neither 
 will I turn back from it. 
 
 29 The whole city shall flee for the noise of the 
 horsemen and bowmen; they shall go into thickets, 
 and climb up upon the rocks: every city shall be 
 forsaken, and not a man dwell therein. 
 
 30 And when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou do? 
 Though thou clothest thj^self with crimson, though 
 thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, 'though 
 thou rentest thy f face with painting, in vain shalt 
 thou make thyself fair: q thy lovers will despise 
 thee, they will seek thy life. 
 
 31 For I have heard a voice as of a woman in 
 travail, and the anguish as of her that bringeth forth 
 her first child; the voice of the daughter of Zion, 
 that bewaileth herself, that r spreadeth her hands, 
 saying, Wo U me now ! for my soul is wearied be- 
 cause of murderers. 
 
 CHAP. V. 
 
 The judgment of God upon the Jews for their perverseness. 
 
 I> UN ye to and fro through the streets of Jeru- 
 ■^ saleni, and see now, and know, and seek in the 
 broad places theieof, "if ye can find a man, A if there 
 be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the 
 truth; r and I will pardon it. 
 
 2 And ''though they say, ' The Lord liveth ; surely 
 fchey •'swear falsely. 
 
 3 Lord, are not 8 thine e3 r es upon the truth? 
 thou hast ''stricken 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 poor; they 
 are foolish : for *they know not the way of the Lord, 
 nor the judgment of their God. 
 
 5 I will get me uuto the great men, and will speak 
 unto them; for 'they have known the way of the 
 Lord, and the judgment of their God : but these have 
 altogether '"broken the yoke, and burst the bonds.

 Judgments on the Jew*. 
 
 Wherefore "a lion out of the forest shall slay 
 them, "and a wolf of the || evenings shall spoil them, 
 ''a leopard shall watch over their cities: everyone 
 that goeth out thence shall be lorn in pieces: be- 
 cause their transgressions are man}', and their baek- 
 slidings fare increased. 
 
 7 llHow shall I pardon thee for this? thy children 
 have forsaken me, and ''sworn by them r 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 as fed horses in the morning: every 
 one "neighed after his neighbour's wife. 
 
 9 * Shall I not visit for these thhigs? saith the 
 Lord: ^and shall not my soul be avenged on such 
 a nation as this? 
 
 10 TI z Go ye up upon her walls, and destroy; "but 
 make not a full end: take away her battlements; 
 for they are not the Lord's. 
 
 11 For *the house of Israel and the house of Ju- 
 dah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith 
 the Lord. 
 
 12 c They have belied the Lord, and said, d It in 
 not he; neither shall evil come upon us; 'neither 
 shall we see sword nor famine: 
 
 13 And the prophets shall become wind, and the 
 word is not in them : thus shall it be done unto them. 
 
 14 Wherefore thus saith the Lord God of hosts, 
 Because ye speak this word, ■l 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 s nation upon you A from far, 
 house of Israel, saith the Lord: it is a mighty nation, 
 it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou 
 knowest not, neither understandest what they say, 
 
 16 Their quiver is as an open sepulchre, they are 
 all mighty men. 
 
 17 And they shall eat up thine 'harvest, and thy 
 bread, which thy sons and thy daughters should eat: 
 they shall eat up thy flocks and thine herds: they 
 shall eat up thy vines and thy fig-trees : they shall 
 impoverish thy fenced cities, wherein thou trustedst, 
 with the sword. 
 
 18 Nevertheless, in those days, saith the Lord, 1 
 *will not make a full end with you. 
 
 19 IfAnd it shall come to pass, when ye shall say, 
 'Wherefore doeth the Lord our God all these things 
 unto us? then shalt thou answer them, Like as ye 
 have ""forsaken me, and served strange gods in your 
 land, so " shall ye serve strangers in a land that is 
 not yours. 
 
 20 Declare this in the house of Jacob, and pub- 
 lish it in Judah, saying. 
 
 21 Hear now this, "foolish people, and without 
 f understanding; which have eyes, and see not; 
 which have ears, and hear not : 
 
 22 'Fear ye not me? saith the Lord: will ye not 
 tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand 
 for the 'bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, 
 that it cannot pass it: and though the waves there- 
 of toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though 
 they roar, yet can they not pass over it? 
 
 23 But this people hath a revolting and a rebel- 
 lious heart; they are revolted and gone. 
 
 24 Neither say they in their heart. Let us now 
 fear the Lord our God, r that giveth rain, both the 
 'former and the latter, in his season: 'he reserveth 
 unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest. 
 
 401 
 
JudaJis enemies encourage themselves. 
 
 25 If "Your iniquities have turned away these things, 
 
 and your sins have withholden good things from you. 
 
 2o For among my people are found wicked men: 
 
 they 'lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set 
 
 a trap, they catch men. 
 
 27 As a || cage is full of birds, so are their houses 
 full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and 
 waxen rich. 
 
 28 They are waxen ''fat, they shine: yea, they 
 ovei'pass the deeds of the wicked : they judge not 
 
 the cause, the cause of the fatherless, "yet they pros- 
 per; and the right of the needy do they not judge. 
 
 29 ''Shall I not visit for these things? saith the 
 Lord: shall not my soul be avenged on such a na- 
 tion as this? 
 
 30 H || A wonderful and ""horrible thing is com- 
 mitted in the land ; 
 
 31 The prophets prophesy rf falsely, and the priests 
 II bear rule by their means; and my people "4ove to 
 have it so : and what will ye do in the end thereof? 
 
 CHAP. VI. 
 
 The enemies sent against Judah encourage themselves. 
 
 OYE children of Benjamin, gather yourselves to 
 flee out of the midst of Jerusalem, and blow 
 the trumpet in Tekoa, and set up a sign of fire in 
 •Beth-haccerem: *for evil appeareth out of the 
 north, and great destruction. 
 
 2 I have likened the daughter of Zion to a || come- 
 ly and delicate woman. 
 
 3 The shepherds with their flocks shall come 
 unto her; c they shall pitch their tents against her 
 round about; they shall feed every one in his place. 
 
 4 ''Prepare ye war against her ; arise, and let us go 
 up 'at noon. Wo unto 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 de- 
 stroy her palaces. 
 
 C If For thus hath the Lord of hosts said, Hew 
 ye iown trees, and || cast a mount against Jerusa- 
 ler : this is the city to be visited; she is wholly 
 oppression in the midst of her. 
 
 7 - r As a fountain casteth out her waters, so she cast- 
 Hh out her wickedness: £ violence and spoil is heard 
 •q her; before me continually is grief and wounds. 
 
 8 Be thou instructed, Jerusalem, lest ''my soul 
 \ depart from thee; lest I make thee desolate, a 
 kind not inhabited. 
 
 9 If Thus saith the Lord of hosts, They shall thor- 
 oughly glean the remnant of Israel as a vine : turn 
 hack thine hand as a grape gatherer into the baskets. 
 
 10 To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that 
 they may hear? Behold, their 'ear is uncircum- 
 cised, and they cannot hearken: behold, Hhe word 
 of the Lord is unto them a reproach ; they have no 
 delight in it. 
 
 11 Therefore I am full of the fury of the Lord; 'I 
 am weary with holding in : I will pour it out "'upon 
 the children abroad, and upon the assembly of young 
 men together : for even the husband with the wife 
 shall be taken, the aged with him that is full of days. 
 
 12 And "their houses shall be turned unto others, 
 with their fields and wives together: fori will stretch 
 out my hand upon the inhabitants of the land, saith 
 the Lord. 
 
 13 For from the least of them even unto the 
 greatest of them every one is given to "covetous- 
 ness; and from the prophet even unto the priest 
 every one dealetb falsely.

 God's judgments proclaimed 
 
 14 They have ''healed also the fhurt of the 
 daughter of my people slightly, 'saying, Peace, 
 peace ; when there is no peace. 
 
 15 Were they r 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 that I visit them 
 they shall be cast down, saith the Lord. 
 
 16 Thus saith the Lord, 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, saying, 
 Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they 
 said, We will not hearken. 
 
 18 If Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, 
 congregation, what is among them. 
 
 19 ^Hear, earth: Behold, I will bring evil 
 upon this people, even ,J the, fruit of their thoughts,

 saying, 
 
 2 "Stand in the gate of the Lord's house, and 
 proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word 
 of the Lord, all ye of Judah, that enter in at these 
 gates to worship the Lord. 
 
 3 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Is- 
 rael, b Amend your ways and your doings, and 1 wilJ

Jud'i, s vain confidence rejected. 
 
 4 Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The tem- 
 ple of the Lord, The temple of the Loku, The 
 tcrrWe of the Lord, are these. 
 
 5* Vor if ye thoroughly amend your ways and 
 vour doings; if ye thoroughly ''execute judgment 
 Between a man and his neighbour; 
 
 6 If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, 
 nnd the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this 
 place, 'neither walk after other gods to your hurt; 
 
 7 -/"Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in 
 « £ie land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever. 
 
 b H Behold, A ye trust in * lying words, that cannot 
 p.' .uH. 
 
 a "Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, 
 mid swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and 
 'walk after other gods whom ye know not; 
 
 10 m Anfi come and stand before me in this house, 
 t" which it* viled by my name, and say, We are de- 
 livered to riv 11 ill these abominations? 
 
 11 Is "this uocse', which is called by my name, 
 become a ; 'den of lobbers in your eyes? Behold, 
 even I have seen t v , ^aith the Lord. 
 
 12 But go ye now unto ? my place which was in 
 Shiloh, r where 1 set my name at the first, and see * what 
 I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel. 
 
 13 And now, because ye have done all these 
 works, saith the Lord, and I spake unto you, 'rising 
 up early and speaking, but ye heard not; and I 
 "called you, but ye answered not; 
 
 14 Therefore will I do unto this house, which is 
 called by my name, wherein ye trust, and unto the 
 place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I 
 have done to *Shiloh. 
 
 15 And I will cast jou out of my sight, *as I have 
 cast out all your brethren, 'even the whole seed of 
 Ephraim. 
 
 16 Therefore " pray not thou for this people, neither 
 lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make inter- 
 cession 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 Jerusalem? 
 
 18 'The children gather wood, and the fathers 
 kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, 
 to make cakes to the || queen of heaven, and to rf pour 
 out drink-offerings unto other gods, that they may 
 provoke me to anger. 
 
 19 'Do they provoke me to anger ? saith the Lord : 
 do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of 
 their own faces? 
 
 20 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; 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 11 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of 
 Israel; -^Put your burnt-offerings unto your sacri- 
 fices, and eat flesh. 
 
 22 s For I spake not unto your fathers, nor command- 
 ed them in the day that I brought them out of the land 
 of Egypt, f concerning burnt-offerings or sacrifices: 
 
 23 But this thing commanded I them, saying, 
 ""Obey my voice, and" I will be your God, and ye'shall 
 be my people : and walk ye in all the ways that I 
 have commanded you, that it may be well unto you. 
 
 24 *But they hearkened not, nor inclined their 
 ear, but 'walked in the counsels and in the || imagi- 
 nation of their evil heart, and f'went backward,

 Idolatry threatened. 
 
 25 Since the day that 3'our fathers came forth 
 out of the land of Egypt unto this day, I have even 
 "sent unto you all my servants the prophets, 'daily 
 rising up early and sending them: 
 
 20 ^Yet they hearkened not unto me, nor inoliiiet. 
 their ear, but 'hardened their neck: ' the-y did worse 
 than their fathers. 
 
 27 Therefore 'thou shalt speak all these words 
 unto them; but they will not hearken to thee: thou 
 shalt also call unto them; but they will not answer 
 thee. 
 
 28 But thou shalt say unto them. This is a nation 
 that obeyeth not the voice of the Lord their God, 
 'nor receiveth || correction: "truth is perished, and 
 is cut off from their mouth. 
 
 29 II* Cut off thine hair, O Jerusalem, and cast 
 it away, and take up a lamentation on high places; 
 for the Lord hath rejected and forsaken the genera- 
 tion of his wrath. 
 
 30 For the children of Judah have dune evil in 
 my sight, saith the Lord: Hhey have set their 
 abominations in the house which is called by my 
 name, to pollute it. 
 
 31 And they have built the z high places of Tophet, 
 which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to "burn 
 their sons and their daughters in the fire; 6 which 1 
 commanded them not, neither f came it into my heart. 
 
 32 II Therefore, behold, 'the days come, saith the 
 Lord, that it shall no more be called Tophet, nor 
 The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of 
 Slaughter : ''for they shall bury in Tophet, till there 
 be no place. 
 
 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 fray them away. 
 
 34 Then 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 
 bridegroom, and the voice of the bride : for *the land 
 shall be desolate. 
 
 CHAP. VIII. 
 
 1 The calamity of t lie Jews. 4 Their impenitency upbraided. 
 
 AT that time, saith the Lord, they shall bring out 
 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 inhabi- 
 tants of Jerusalem, out of their graves : 
 
 2 And they shall spread them before the sun, and 
 the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they 
 have loved, and whom they have served, and after 
 whom they have w r alked, and whom they have 
 sought, and "whom they have worshipped: they 
 shall not be gathered, 4 nor be buried; they shall oe 
 for 'dung upon the face of the earth. 
 
 3 And ''death shall be chosen rather than life by 
 all the residue of them that remain of this evil fam- 
 ily, which remain in all the places whither I have 
 driven them, saith the Lord of hosts. 
 
 4 IT Moreover, thou shalt say unto them, Thus 
 saith the Lord; Shall the} r fall, and not arise? shall 
 he turn away, and not return ? 
 
 5 Why then is this people of Jerusalem, 'slidden 
 back by a perpetual backsliding? -^they hold fast 
 deceit, *they refuse to return. 
 
 6 ''I hearkened and heard, but they spake not 
 aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, 
 saying, What have I done? every one turned to hi« 
 course, as the horse rusheth into the battle 
 
 4fi3 
 
The Jews extute bewailed. 
 
 JEREMIAH 
 
 7 Yea, 'the stork in the heaven knoweth her ap- 
 pointed times; and * the turtle, and the crane* and 
 the swallow, observe the ^inie of their coming; but 
 'my people know not the judgment of the Lord. 
 
 8 How do ye say, We are wise, "and the law of 
 the Lord n with us? Lo certainly || in vain made 
 he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain. 
 
 9 " II The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed 
 and taken : lo, they have rejected the word of the 
 LORD; and fwhat wisdom is in them? 
 
 10 Therefore "will I give their wives unto others, 
 and their fields to them that shall inherit them: for 
 every one from the least even unto the greatest is 
 given to ^covetousness, from the prophet even unto 
 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 
 tlwe 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 them that fall: in the time of their visitation 
 they shall be cast down, saith the Lord. 
 
 13 IF || I will surely consume them, saith the Lord : 
 there shall be no grapes 'on the vine, nor figs on the 
 " fig-tree, and the leaf shall fade ; and the things that 
 1 have given them shall pass away from them. 
 
 14 Why do we sit still? 'assemble yourselves, and 
 let us enter into the defenced cities, and let us be 
 silent there : for the Lord our God hath put us to 
 silence, and given us y water of || gall to drink, because 
 -ve have sinned against the Lord. 
 
 15 We * looked for peace, but no good came; and 
 for a time of health, and behold, 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 devoured the land, and fall that is in it; the 
 city, and those that dwell therein. 
 
 17 For behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, 
 among you, which will not be c charmed, and they 
 shall bite you, saith the Lord. 
 
 18 IF When I would comfort myself against sorrow, 
 my heart is faint f in me. 
 
 19 Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter 
 of my people | because of them that dwell in ''a far 
 country : Is not the Lord in Zion ? is not her king in 
 her? Why have they e provoked me to anger with 
 their graven images, and with strange vanities ? 
 
 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; astonishment hath taken 
 hold on me. 
 
 22 Is there no ''balm in Gilead; is there no 
 
 Shysieian there ? why then is not the health of the 
 aughter of my people f recovered?

 ness a lamentation, because they are || burnt up, so 
 that none can pass through them; neither can men 
 hear the voice of the cattle: f"both the fowl of the 
 heavens and the beast are fled ; they are gone. 
 
 11 And I will make Jerusalem 'heaps, and p & den 
 of dragons; and I will make the cities of Judah 
 f desolate, without an inhabitant. 
 
 12 IF'Who is the wise man, that may understand 
 this? and who is he to whom the mouth of the Lord 
 hath spoken, that he may declare it, for what the 
 land perisheth and is burnt up like a wilderness, 
 that none passeth through? 
 
 13 And the Lord saith, Because they have for 
 saken my law which I set before them, and have not 
 obeyed my voice, neither walked therein : 
 
 14 But have 'walked after the || imagination of 
 their own heart, and after Baalim, * which their 
 fathers taught them : 
 
 15 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, the 
 God of Israel; Behold, I will 'feed them, even this 
 people, "with wormwood, and give them water of 
 gall to drink. 
 
 16 I will 'scatter them also among the heathen, 
 whom neither they nor their fathers have known : 
 "and I will send a sword after them, till I have con- 
 sumed them. 
 
 17 IF Thus saith the Lord of hosts. Consider ye, 
 and call for * the mourning women, that they may come; 
 and send for cunning women, that they may come: 
 
 18 And let them make haste, and take up a wail- 
 ing 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 confounded, 
 because we have forsaken the land, because 'our 
 dwellings have cast us out. 
 
 20 Yet hear the word of the Lord, O ye women, 
 and let your ear receive the word of his mouth, and 
 teach your daughters wailing, and every one her 
 neighbour lamentation. 
 
 21 For death is come up into our windows, and is 
 entered into our palaces, to cut off c the children from 
 without, and the young men from the streets. 
 
 22 Speak, Thus saith the Lord, Even the carcasses 
 of men shall fall "as dung upon the open field, and

 as the handful after the harvest-man, and

 23 If Thus saith the Lord, 'Let not the wise man 
 glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory 
 fn his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches : 
 
 24 But J ' let him that glorieth, glory in this, that 
 he understandeth and knowcth me, that I am the 
 Lord which exercise loving-kindness, judgment, and 
 righteousness, in the earth: *for in these things I 
 delight, saith the Lord. 
 
 2d II Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that 
 M will f punish all them ivhich are circumcised Avith 
 the uncircumcised ; 
 
 26 Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the child- 
 ren of Amnion, and Moab, and all that are f in the 
 * utmost corners, that dwell in the Avilderness: for 
 all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house 
 of Israel are 'uncircumcised in the heart. 
 
 CHAP. X. 
 
 The unequal comparison of God and.idols. 
 
 HEAR ye the word which the Lord speaketh 
 unto you, house of Israel: 
 
 2 Thus saith the Lord, "Learn not the way of 
 the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of 
 heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. 
 
 3 For the f customs 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 c fas- 
 ten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. 
 
 5 They are upright as the palm-tree, rf but speak 
 not: they must needs be c borne, because they can- 
 not go. Be not afraid of them; for J they cannot do 
 evil, neither also is it in them to do good. 
 
 6 Forasmuch as there is none s like unto thee, 
 Lord : thou art great, and thy name is great in might. 
 
 7 ''Who would not fear thee, King of nations? 
 for || to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch as 'among 
 all the wise men of the nations, and in all their 
 kingdoms, there is none like unto thee. 
 
 8 But they are t altogether * brutish and foolish: 
 the stock is a doctrine ot vanities. 
 
 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 cunning men. 
 
 10 But the Lord is the f true God, he is "the 
 living God, and an f* everlasting King: at his wrath 
 the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be 
 able to abide his indignation. 
 
 11 fThus shall ye say unto them, 'The gods 
 that have not made the heavens and the earth, even 
 r 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 wisdom, and 
 "hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion. 
 
 13 x When he uttereth his voice, there is a || mul- 
 titude of waters in the heavens, and u he causeth 
 the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; 
 he maketh lightnings || with rain, and bringeth forth 
 the wind out of his treasures. 
 
 14 z Every man || is "brutish in his knowledge: 
 1 every founder is confounded by the graven image: 
 Tor his molten image is falsehood, and there is no 
 breath in them. 
 
 15 They are vanity, and the work of errors: in 
 Lhu time of their visitation ''they shall perish.

 Jeremiah proclaimeth God's covenant, and rebuketh the Jews. 
 
 fTUIE word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, 
 
 
 saying, 
 
 2 Hear ye the words of this covenant, and speak 
 unto the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of 
 Jerusalem ; 
 
 3 And say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord 
 God of Israel; "Cursed be the man that obeyeth 
 not the words of this covenant, 
 
 4 Which I commanded your fathers in the day that 
 I brought them forth out of the land of Eg} r pt, 'from 
 the iron furnace, saying, f Obe} r my voice, and do 
 them, according 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 w T hich I have 
 sworn unto your fathers, to give them a land flow- 
 ing with milk and honey, as it is this day. Then 
 answered I, and said, fSo be it, O Lord. 
 
 6 Then the Lord said unto me, Proclaim all these 
 words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of 
 Jerusalem, saying, Hear ye the words of this cove- 
 nant, "and do them. 
 
 7 For I earnestly protested unto your fathers in 
 the day that I brought them up out of the land of 
 Egypt, even unto this day, s rising earl}' and protest- 
 ing, saying, Obey my voice. 
 
 8 A 'l r et they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, 
 but * walked every one in the II imagination of their 
 evil heart: therefore I will brings upon them all tho 
 words of this covenant, which I commanded them 
 to do; but they did them not. 
 
 9 And the Lord said unto me. 'A conspiracy is 
 found among the men of Judah, and among the in- 
 
 o WO 
 
 habitants of Jerusalem. 
 
 10 They are turned back to * the iniquities of then 
 forefathers, which refused to hear my words; and 
 they went after other gods to serve them: the hotwe

EoUs prophesied by Jeremiah. 
 
 JEREMIAH 
 
 of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my 
 covenant which I made with their fathers. 
 
 11 If Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold, 1 
 will bring evil upon them which they shall not be 
 able j- to escape; and 'though they shall cry unto 
 me, I will not hearken unto them. 
 
 12 Then shall the cities of Judah and inhabitants 
 of Jerusalem go, and '"cry unto the gods unto whom 
 they offer incense : but tney shall not save them at 
 all in the time. of their f trouble. 
 
 13 For according to the number of thy " cities were 
 thy gods, Judah; and according to the number of 
 the streets of Jerusalem have ye set up altars to that 
 t shameful thing, even altars to burn incense unto 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 that they cry unto me for their f trouble. 
 
 15 p f What hath my beloved to do in mine house, 
 seeing she hath 'wrought lewdness with many; and 
 r the holy flesh is passed from thee? || when thou 
 doest evil, then thou 'rejoicest. 
 
 16 The Lord called thy name, 'A green olive-tree, 
 fair, and of goodly fruit: with the noise of a great 
 tumult he hath kindled fire upon it, and the branches 
 of it are broken. 
 
 17 For the Lord of hosts, " that planted thee, hath 
 pronounced evil against thee, for the evil of the house 
 of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have 
 done against themselves to provoke me to anger in 
 offering incense unto Baal. 
 
 18 II And the Lord hath given me knowledge of it 
 and I know it: then thou shewedst me their doings. 
 
 19 But I tvas like a lamb or an ox that is brought 
 to the slaughter; and I knew not that x they had de- 
 vised devices against me, saying, Let us destroy f the 
 tree with the fruit thereof, y and let us cut him off 
 from = the land of the living, that .his name may be 
 no more remembered. 
 
 20 But, Lord of hosts, that judgest righteously, 
 that "triest the reins and the heart, let me see thy 
 vengeance on them: for unto thee have I revealed 
 my cause. 
 
 21 Therefore thus saith the Lord of the men of 
 Anathoth, b that seek thy life, saying, c Prophesy not in 
 the name of the Lord, that thou die not by our hand : 
 
 22 Therefore thus saith the Lord or hosts; Be- 
 hold, I will f 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 Anathoth, even 
 d the year of their visitation.

 have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend 
 with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein 
 thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou 
 do in Hhe swelling of Jordan? 
 
 G For even 'thy brethren, and the house of thy la- 
 ther, even they have dealt treacherously with thee; 
 yea,|| they have called a multitude after thee : '"believe 
 them not, though they speak t fair words unto thee. 
 
 7 IT I have forsaken mine house, I have left mine 
 heritage; I have given f the dearly beloved of my 
 soul into the hand of her enemies. 
 
 8 Mine heritage is unto me as a lion in the forest;

 9 Mine heritage is unto me as a || speckled bird, the

 10 Many "pastors have destroyed f my vineyard, 
 they have 'trodden my portion unuer foot, they have 
 made my f pleasant portion a desolate wilderness. 
 
 11 They have made it desolate, and being desolate 
 r it mourneth unto me; the whole land is made des- 
 olate, because 'no man layeth it to heart. 
 
 12 The spoilers are come upon all high places

 shall devour from the one end of the land even to 
 the other end of the land: no flesh shall have peace. 
 
 13 'They have sown wheat, but shall reap thorns: 
 they have put themselves to pain, but shall not profit; 
 and || they shall be ashamed of your revenues because

 By the type of a linen girdle, God prefignreth his people's destruction. 
 
 THUS saith the Lord unto me, Go and get thee 
 a linen girdle, and put it upon thy loins, and 
 put it not in water. 
 
 2 So I got a girdle according to the word of the 
 Lord, and put it on my loins. 
 
 3 And the word of the Lord came unto me the 
 second time, saying, 
 
 4 Take the girdle that thou hast got, which is 
 upon thy loins, and arise, go to Euphrates, and hide 
 it there in a hole of the rock. 
 
 5 So I went, and hid it by Euphrates, as the Lord 
 commanded me. 
 
 6 And it came to pass after many days, that the 
 Lord said unto me, Arise, go to Euphrates, and 
 take the girdle from thence, which I commanded 
 thee to hide there. 
 
An exhortation to repentance. 
 
 7 Then I went to Euphrates, and digged, and took 
 the girdle from the place where I had hid it: and 
 behold, the girdle was marred, it was profitable for 
 nothing. 
 
 8 Then the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 
 
 9 Thus saith the Lord, After this manner "will I 
 mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Je- 
 rusalem. 
 
 10 This evil people, which refuse to hear my 
 words, which 'walk in the || imagination of their 
 heart, and walk after other gods, to serve them, 
 and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, 
 which is good for nothing. 
 
 11 For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a 
 man, so have I caused to cleave unto me the whole 
 house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, saith 
 the Lord; that f they might be unto me for a people, 
 and ''for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: 
 but they would not hear. 
 
 1.2 H Therefore thou shalt speak unto them this 
 word; Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Every 
 bottle shall be filled w T ith wine : and they shall say 
 unto thee, Do we not certainly know that every 
 hottle shall be filled with wine ? 
 
 J 3 Then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith the 
 Lord, Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this 
 land, even the kings that sit upon David's throne, and 
 the priests, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants 
 of Jerusalem, 'with drunkenness. 
 
 14 And ^1 will dash them fone against another, 
 even the fathers and the sons together, saith the 
 Lord: I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, 
 { but destroy them. 
 
 ^5 HHear ye, and give ear; be not proud: for 
 the Lord hath spoken. 
 
 16 'Give glory to the Lord your God, before he 
 cause -darkness, and before your feet stumble upon 
 the dark mountains, and while ye 'look for light, he 
 turn it into *the shadow of death, and make it gross 
 darkness. 
 
 17 But if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep 
 in secret places for your pride; and 'mine eye shall 
 weep sore, and run down with tears, because the 
 Lord's flock is carried away captive. 
 
 18 Say unto '"the king and to the queen, Humble 
 yourselves, sit clown: for your || principalities shall 
 come down, even the crown of your glory. 
 
 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 them "that come 
 from the north : where is the flock that was given 
 thee, thy beautiful flock? 
 
 21 What wilt thou say Avhen he shall f punish 
 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 IT And if thou say in thine heart, '' Wherefore 
 come these things upon me? For the greatness of 
 thine iniquity are 'thy skirts discovered, and thy 
 heels || made bare. 
 
 23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the 
 leopard his spots ? then may ye also do good, that 
 are \ accustomed to do evil. 
 
 24 Therefore will I scatter them r as the stubble 
 that passe th away by the wind of the wilderness.

 A grievous famine causelh Jeremiah to pray. 
 
 I^HE word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah 
 - concerning fthe dearth. 
 
 2 Judah mourneth, and "the gates thereof lan- 
 guish; they are 6 black unto the ground; and c tho 
 cry of Jerusalem is gone up. 
 
 3 And their nobles have sent their little ones to the 
 waters: they came to the pits, and found no water- 
 they returned w r ith their vessels empty; they were 
 d 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 for- 
 sook it, because there was no grass. 
 
 6 And 7 the wild asses did stand in the high places, 
 they snuffed up the wind like dragons; their eyes 
 did fail, because there was no grass. 
 
 7 HO Lord, though our iniquities testify against 
 us, do thou it *for thy name's sake : for our back- 
 slidings are many; we have sinned against thee. 
 
 8 A the hope of Israel, the Saviour thereof in 
 time of trouble, why shouldest thou be as a stranger 
 in the land, and as a wayfaring man that turneth 
 aside to tarry for a night? 
 
 9 Why shouldest thou be as a man astonished, as 
 a mighty man 'that cannot save? yet thou, O Lord, 
 k art m the midst of us, and fwe are called by thy 
 name; leave us not. 
 
 10 TIThus saith the Lord unto this people, 'Thus 
 have they loved to wander, they have not refrained 
 their feet, therefore the Lord doth not accept them ; 
 m he will now remember their iniquity, and visit their 
 sins. 
 
 11 Then said the Lord unto 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 an oblation, I 
 will not accept them; but ? I will consume them by 
 the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence. 
 
 13 I 'Then said I, Ah Lord God! behold, the 
 prophets say unto them, Ye shall not see the sword, 
 neither shall ye have famine; but I will give you 
 | assured peace in this place. 
 
 14 Then the Lord said unto me, 'The prophets 
 prophesy lies in my name: 'I sent them not, neither 
 have 1 commanded them, neither spake unto them : 
 they prophesy unto you a false vision and divina- 
 tion, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their 
 heart. 
 
 15 Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning the 
 prophets that 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 Jerusalem, because of the 
 famine, nnd the sword ; x and they shall have none to

 them; y Let mine eyes run down with tears night 
 and day, and let them not cease: x for the virgin 
 daughter of my people 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 them that are sick with famine ! yea, 
 both the prophet and the priest || go about into a 
 land that they know not. 
 
 19 *Hast thou utterly rejected Judah? hath thy 
 soul loathed Zion? Why hast thou smitten us, and 
 'there is no healing for us? ''we looked for peace, 
 and there is no good ; and for the time of healing, 
 and behold trouble ! 
 
 20 We acknowledge, Lord, our wickedness, 
 and the iniquity of our fathers: for e we have sinned 
 against thee. 
 
 21 Do not abhor us; for thy name's sake, do not

 not thy covenant with us.

 THEN said the Lord unto me, ° Though * Moses

 sight, and let them go forth. 
 
 2 And it shall come to pass, if they say unto thee, 
 Whither shall we go forth? then thou shalt tell 
 them, Thus saith the Lord; ''Such as are for death, 
 to death ; and such as are for the sword, to the sword ; 
 and such as arc for the famine, to the famine ; and 
 such as are for the captivity, to the captivity. 
 
 3 And I will e appoint over them four \ kinds, 
 saith the Lord : the sword to slay, and the dogs to

 of the earth, to devour and destroy. 
 
 4 And f I 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 
 lid in Jerusalem. 
 
 5 For ■ who shall have pity upon thee, Jerusa- 
 lem ? or who shall bemoan thee ? or who shall go

 6 *Thou hast forsaken me, saith the Lord, thou 
 art 'gone backward: therefore will I stretch out

 weary with repenting. 
 
 7 And I will fan them with a fan in the gates of

 The prophet foresheweth the utter rain of the Jetvs. 
 
 HPHE word of the Lord came also unto me, saying, 
 J«- 2 Thou shalt not take thee a wife, neither shalt

 3 For thus saith the Lord concerning the sons 
 and concerning the daughters that are born in this 
 place, and concerning their mothers that bare them, 
 and concerning their fathers that begat them in this 
 land: 
 
 4 They shall die of "grievous deaths; they shall 
 not be 'lamented; neither shall they be buried; but 
 they shall be c as dung upon 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 the Lord, 'Enter not into the house 
 of || mourning, neither go to lament nor bemoan them : 
 for I have taken away my peace from this people, 
 saith the Lord, even loving-kindness and mercies. 
 
 6 Both the great and the small shall die in this 
 land: they shall not be buried, ^'neither shall men 
 lament for them, nor A 'cut themselves, nor "make 
 themselves bald for them: 
 
 7 Neither shall men II tear themselves for them id

 8 Thou shalt not also go into the house of feast-

 9 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of 
 Israel; Behold, k I will cause to cease out of this 
 place in your eyes, and in your days, the voice of 
 mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the 
 bridegroom, and the voice of the bride. 
 
 10 IF And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt 
 shew this people all these words, and they shall say 
 unto thee, 'Wherefore hath the Lord pronounced all 
 this great evil against us? or what is our iniquity? 
 or what is our sin that we have committed against 
 the Lord our God? 
 
 11 Then shalt thou say unto them, "' Because your 
 fathers have forsaken me, saith the Lord, 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 || imagina- 
 tion of his evil heart, that they may not hearken 
 unto 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 shall ye serve other gods day 
 and night; where I will not shew you favour. 
 
 14 IF Therefore behold, the r days come, saith the 
 jjord, that it shall no more be said, The Lord liveth, 
 that brought up the children of Israel out of the 
 land of Egypt; 
 
 15 But, The Lord liveth, that brought up the 
 children of Israel from the land of the north, and 
 from all the lands whither he had driven them: and 
 'I will bring them again into their land that I gave 
 unto their fathers. 
 
 16 IF Behold, I will send for many 'fishers, saith 
 the Lord, and they shall fish them ; and after will 
 I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them 
 from every mountain, and from every hill, and out 
 of the holes of the rocks. 
 
 17 For mine "eyes are upon all their ways : they 
 are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity' 
 hid from mine eyes. 
 
 18 And first I will recompense their iniquity 
 and their sin x double; because y they have defiled 
 my land, they have filled mine inheritance with the 
 carcasses of their detestable and abominable things. 
 
 19 Lord, z my strength and my fortress, and 
 my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall 
 
 uome unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall 
 gay, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, 
 and things 'wherein there is no profit. 
 
 20 Shall a man make gods unto himself, and 
 'they are no gods? 
 
 21 Therefore behold, I will this once cause them 
 to know, I will cause them to know mine hand and 
 uiy might: and they shall know that ''my name is 
 || The Lord.

 6 For he shall be 'like the heath in the desert,

 24 And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently 
 hearken unto me, saith the Lord, to bring in no bur- 
 den through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, 
 but hallow the sabbath day, to do no work therein; 
 
 25 * Then shall there enter into the gates of this city 
 kings and princes sitting upon 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 Jerusalem, and from the 
 land of Benjamin, and from m the plain, and from the 
 mountains, and from "the south, bringing burnt- 
 offerings, and sacrifices, and meat-offerings, and 
 incense, and bringing "sacrifices of praise, unto the 
 house of the Lord. 
 
 27 But if ye will not hearken unto me to hallow 
 the sabbath day, and not to bear a burden, even 
 entering in at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath

 CHAP. XVIII. 
 
 Under the type of a potter is shewed God's absolute power. 
 
 THE word which came to Jeremiah from the 
 Lord, 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 || wheels. 
 
 4 And the vessel || that he made of clay was 
 marred in the hand of the potter : so he f made it 
 again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter 
 to make it. 
 
 5 Then the word of the Lord came to me, 
 saying, 
 
 6 house of Israel, "cannot I do with you as this 
 potter? saith the Lord. Behold, 6 as the clay is in 
 the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, house 
 of Israel. 
 
 7 At what instant I shall speak concerning a na- 
 tion, and concerning a kingdom, to c pluck up, and 
 to pull down, and to destroy it: 
 
 8 d If that nation against whom I have pronounced, 
 turn from their evil, e I will repent of the evil that 
 I thought to do unto them. 
 
 9 And at what instant I shall speak concerning a 
 nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to 
 plant it; 
 
 10 If it do evil in my sight, 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 to, speak to the men of 
 Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, 
 Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I frame 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, s There is no hope: but we will 
 walk after our own devices, and we will every one 
 do the imagination of his evil heart. 
 
 13 Therefore thus saith the Lord; A Ask ye now 
 among the heathen, who hath heard such things: 
 /he virgin of Israel hath done 'a very horrible thing. 
 
 14 Will a man leave || the snow of Lebanon which 
 vometh froin the rock of the field? or shall the cold!

 devices against Jeremiah; 'for the law shall not 
 perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, 
 nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us 
 smite him || with the tongue, and let us not give heed

 in battle. 
 
 22 Let a cry be heard from their houses, when 
 thou shalt bring a troop suddenly upon them : for 
 z they have digged a pit to take me, and hid snares 
 for my feet. 
 
 23 Yet, Lord, thou knowest all their counsel 
 against me fto slay me: "forgive not their iniquity, 
 neither blot out their sin from thy sight, but let 
 them be overthrown before thee; deal thus with 
 them inthe time of thine anger.

 The desolation of the Jews for their sins foretold. 
 
 r PHUS saith the Lord, Go and get a potters 
 -B- earthen bottle, and take of the ancients of the 
 people, and of the ancients of the priests; 
 
 2 And go forth unto ° the valley of the son of Hin- 
 nom, which is by the entry of t + he east gate, and 
 proclaim there the words that I shall tell thee, 
 
 3 ''And say, Hear ye the word of the Lord. O 
 kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem ; Thus 
 saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, 
 I will bring evil upon this place, the which whoso- 
 ever heareth, his ears shall c tingle 
 
 4 Because they ''have forsaken me, and have es- 
 tranged this place, and have burned incense in it 
 unto 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 J They have built also the high places of Baal 
 to burn their sons with fire for burnt-offerings unto 
 Baal, g which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither 
 came it into my mind : 
 
 6 Therefore, behold, the da}'s come, saith the 
 Lord, that 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 wil 1 cause them to 
 fall by the c 'void before their enemies, and by the 
 
Pashur s J earful doom.

 hands of them that seek their lives; and (heir 'car- 
 casses 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 an mssmg: 
 every one that passeth thereby 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 daughters, and they shall 
 eat eveiy one the flesh of his friend in the siege and 
 utraitness wherewith their enemies, and they that 
 week their lives, shall straiten them. 
 
 10 "Then shalt thou break the bottle in the sight 
 of the men that go with thee, 
 
 11 And shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord 
 of hosts; "Even so will I break this people and this 
 city, as one breaketh a potter's vessel, that cannot 
 rbe made whole again: and they shall ; 'bury them 
 in Tophet, till there be no place to bury. 
 
 12 Thus will I do unto this place, saith the Lord, 
 and to the inhabitants thereof, and even make this 
 city as Tophet: 
 
 13 And the houses of Jerusalem; and the houses of 
 the kings of Judah, shall be defiled ?as the place of 
 Tophet, because of all the houses upon whose 'roofs 
 Miey have burned incense unto all the host of heaven, 
 itid 'have poured out drink-offerings unto other gods. 
 
 14 Then came Jeremiah from Tophet, whither 
 Jie Lord had sent him to prophesy; and he stood 
 in 'the court of the Lord's house; and said to all 
 the people, 
 
 15 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel ; 
 Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all her 
 towns all the evil that I have pronounced against 
 it, because "they have hardened their necks, that 
 rhev might not hear my words. 
 
 CHAP. XX. 
 
 Pashur, smiting Jeremiah, receiveth a new name, and a fearful doom. 
 
 NOW Pashur the son of "limner the priest, 
 who was also chief governor in the house 
 of the Lord, heard that Jeremiah prophesied these 
 things. 
 
 2 Then Pashur smote Jeremiah the prophet, 
 and put him in the stocks that were in the high 
 
 fate of Benjamin, Avhich was by the house of the 
 <ORD. 
 
 3 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Pashur 
 brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then said 
 Jeremiah unto him, The Lord hath not called thy 
 name Pashur, but || Magor-missabib. 
 
 4 For thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will make 
 thee a terror to thyself, and to all thy friends : and 
 the} shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and 
 thine e}'es shall behold it: and I will give all Judah 
 into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall

 1 Zedekiah sendeth to inquire the event of Nebuchadrezzar' s war. 3 A

 Lord, when king Zedekiah sent unto him "Pa- 
 shur the son of Meichiah, and 'Zephaniah the son

 2 c Inquire, I pray thee, of the Lord for us; for 
 Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon maketh war against 
 us, if so be that the Lord will deal with us accord- 
 ing to all his wondrous works, that he may go up 
 from us.

 say to Zedekiah : 
 
 4 Thus saith the Lord God of Israel; Behold, 1 
 will turn back the weapons of war that are in your 
 hands, wherewith ye fight against the king of Baby- 
 lon, and against the Chaldeans, which besiege you 
 ! without the walls, and ''I will assemble them into 
 
 the midst of this city. 
 
 5 And I myself will fight against you with an 
 e out-stretched hand and with a strong arm, even in 
 anger, and in fury, and in great wrath. 
 
 6 And I will smite the inhabitants of this city, both 
 man and beast: they shall die of a great pestilence.

 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 that seek their life : and he shall smite 
 them with the edge of the sword ; ir he shall not spare 
 them, neither have pity, nor have mercy. 
 
 8 II And unto this people thou shalt say, Thus 
 saith the Lord; Behold, '' I set before } r ou the way 
 of life, and the way of death. 
 
 9 He that 'abideth in this city shall die by the 
 sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence: 
 but he that goeth out, and falleth to the Chaldeans 
 that besiege you, he shall live, and * his life shall be 
 unto him for a prey. 
 
 10 For I have 'set my face against this city for 
 evil, and not for good, saith the Lord : "'it shall be 
 given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he 
 shall "burn it with fire. 
 
 11 IT And touching the house of the king of Judah, 
 sat/, Hear ye the word of the Lord ; 
 
 12 house of David, thus saith the Lord; ° f Exe- 
 cute judgment p in the morning, and deliver him that 
 is spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my 
 fury go out like fire, and burn that none can quench 
 it, because of the evil of your doings. 
 
 13 Behold, g Iam against thee, | inhabitant of 
 the valley, and rock of the plain, saith the Lord ; 
 which say, r Who shall come down against us ? or 
 who shall enter into our habitations? 
 
 14 But I will f punish you according to the s fruit 
 of your doings, saith the Lord : and I will kindle 
 a fire in the forest thereof, and 'it shall devour all 
 things round about it. 
 
 CHAP. XXII. 
 
 Jeremiah exhorlelh to repentance with promises and threats. 
 
 THUS saith the Lord; Go down to the house of 
 the king of Judah, and speak there this word, 
 
 2 And say, "Hear the word of the Lord, king of 
 Judah, that sittest upon the throne of David, thou, and 
 thyservants,and thypeople that enter in by these gates: 
 
 3 Thus saith the Lord ; b Execute ye judgment 
 and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the 
 hand of the oppressor: and r 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, "then shall there 
 enter in by the gates of this house kings sitting 
 f upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on 
 horses, he, and his servants, and his people. 
 
 5 But if ye will not hear these words, C I swear 
 by myself, saith the Lord, that this house shall 
 become a desolation. 
 
 6 For thus saith the Lord unto the king's house 
 of Judah ; Thou art Gilead unto me, and the head 
 of Lebanon : yet surely I will make thee a wilderness, 
 and cities which are not inhabited. 
 
 7 And I will prepare destroyers against thee, 
 every one with his weapons : and they shall cut 
 down J thy choice cedars, ^and cast them into the fire. 
 
 8 And many nations shall pass by this city, and 
 .,ney shall say every man to his neighbour, A Where- 
 fore hath the Lord done thus unto this great city ? 
 
 9 Then they shall answer, 'Because they have 
 forsaken the covenant of the Lord their God, and 
 worshipped other gods, and served them. 
 
 10 If Weep ye not for *the dead, neither bemoan 
 nim : hit weep sore for him ' that goeth awa}' : for 
 ho shall return no more, nor see his native country.

 The judgment of Shallum, &t 
 
 il For thus saith the Lord touching m Shallum the 
 son of Josiah king of Judah, which reigned instead 
 of Josiah his father, " which went forth out of 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 If" Wo unto him that buildeth his house by 
 unrighteousness, and his chambers by wrong; fi thcU 
 
 useth his neighbour's service without 
 
 wages, 
 
 and 
 
 giveth him not for his work ; 
 
 14 That saith, I will build me a wide house and 
 f large chambers, and cutteth him out || windows ; and 
 it is ceiled with cedar, and painted Avith vermilion. 
 
 15 Shalt thou reign, because thou closest thyself 
 in cedar? ? did not thy father eat and drink, and do 
 judgment and justice, and then r it was well with him ? 
 
 16 He judged the cause of the poor and needy ; 
 then it was well with him : was not this to know me ? 
 saith the Lord. 
 
 17 'But thine eyes and thine heart are not but for 
 thy covetousness, and for to shed innocent blood, 
 and for oppression, and for || violence, to do it. 
 
 18 Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning Je- 
 hoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah; 'They 
 shall not lament for 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 bej^ond the gates of Jerusalem, 
 
 20 UGo 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 spake unto thee in thy f prosperity ; hut thou 
 saidst, I will not hear. ''This hath been thy manner 
 from thy youth, that thou obeyedst not my voice. 
 
 22 The wind shall eat up all *thy pastors, and 
 "thy lovers shall go into captivity : surely then shalt 
 thou be ashamed and confounded for all thy wick- 
 edness. 
 
 23 O f inhabitant of Lebanon, that makest thy nest 
 in the cedars, how gracious shalt thou be when pangs 
 come upon thee, Hhe pain as of a woman in travail! 
 
 24 As I live, saith the Lord, 'though Coniah the 
 son of Jehoiakim king of Judah rf were the signet upon 
 my right hand, yet would I pluck thee thence ; 
 
 25 f Ancl I will give thee into the hand of them thh,t 
 seek thy life, and into the hand of them whose face 
 thou fearest, even into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar 
 king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans. 
 
 26 J And I will cast thee out, and thy mother that 
 bare thee, into another country, where ye were not 
 born ; and there shall ye die. 
 
 27 But to the land whereunto they t desire to 
 return, thither shall they not return 
 
 28 Is this man Coniah a despised broken idr<l? 
 is he ^a vessel wherein is no pleasure? wherefnre 
 are they cast out, he and his seed, and are cast into 
 a land which they know not? 
 
 29 * O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the Lord. 
 
 30 Thus saith the Lord, Write ye this man 'child- 
 less, a man that shall not prosper in his days: for no 
 man of his seed shall prosper/ sitting upon the throne 
 of David, and ruling any more in Judah. 
 
 CHAP. XXIII. 
 
 Jeremiah prophesielh a restoration of the scattered flock. 
 
 WO "be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter 
 the sheep of my pasture ! saith the Lord, 
 2 Therefore thus saith the Lord God of £■ rael 
 
The restoration of Gods people. 
 
 against the pastors that 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 the Loan. 
 
 3 And C I will gather the remnant of my frV-k 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 rf shepherds over them, which 
 shall feed them : and they shall fear no more, nor 
 be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith 
 the Lord. 
 
 5 "0" Behold, 'the days come, saith the Lord, that 
 I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a 
 King shall reign and prosper, J and shall execute 
 judgment and justice in the earth. 
 
 6 *In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel 
 'shall dwell safely: and 'this is his name whereby 
 he shall be called, fTHE LORD OUR RIGHT- 
 EOUSNESS. 
 
 7 Therefore, behold, *the days come, saith the 
 Lord, that they shall no more say, The Lord liveth, 
 which brought up the children of Israel out of the 
 land of Egypt; 
 
 8 But, I he Lord liveth which brought up and 
 which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the 
 north country, 'and from all countries whither I had 
 driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land. 
 
 9 UMine heart within me is broken because of 
 the prophets; "'all my bones shake; I am like a 
 drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath over- 
 come, because of the Lord, and because of the words 
 of his holiness. 
 
 10 For "the land is full of adulterers; for "be- 
 cause of || swearing the land mourneth; /J the pleas- 
 ant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their 
 
 I course is evil, and their force is not right. 
 
 11 For 'both prophet and priest are profane; yea, 
 f in my house have I found their wickedness, saith 
 the Lord. 
 
 12 * Wherefore their way shall be unto them as 
 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 the Lord. 
 
 13 And I have seen ||f folly in the prophets of 
 Samaria ; " they prophesied in Baal, and * caused my 
 people Israel to err. 
 
 14 I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem 
 
 II an horrible thing: y they commit adultery, and 
 'walk in lies: they "strengthen also the hands of 
 evil-doers, that none doth return from his wicked- 
 ness : they are all of them unto me as ' Sodom, and 
 the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah. 
 
 15 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts con- 
 cerning the prophets ; Behold, I will feed them with 
 c wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall : 
 for from the prophets of Jerusalem is || profaneness 
 gone forth into all the land. 
 
 16 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Hearken not 
 unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto 
 you: tbey make you vain: ''they speak a vision of 
 <Jieir own heart, and not out of the mouth of the 
 Lord. 
 
 17 They say still unto them that despise me, The 
 Lord hath said, e Ye shall have peace; and they say 
 auto every one that walketh after the || imagination 
 >f his own heart, J No evil shall come upon you.

 False prophets threatened 
 
 Lord, and hath perceived and heard his word? who 
 hath marked his word, and heard it? 
 
 19 Behold, a 'whirlwind of the Loud is 
 forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind : it 
 fall grievously upon the head of the wicked. 
 
 20 The 'anger of the Lord shall not return until 
 he have executed, and till he have performed the 
 thoughts of his heart: *in the latter days ye shall 
 consider 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 
 should have "turned them from their evil way, and 
 from the evil of their doings. 
 
 23 Am I a God at hand, saith the Lord, and not 
 a God afar off? 
 
 24 Can any "hide himself in secret places that I 
 shall not see him? saith the Lord. /j Do not I fdl 
 heaven and earth? saith the Lord. 
 
 25 I have heard what the prophets said, that 
 prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, 
 I ha v e dreamed. 
 
 26 How long shall this be in the heart of the 
 prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets 
 ,of the deceit of their own heart; 
 
 27 Which think to cause my people to forget my 
 name by their dreams which they tell every man to 
 his neighbour, 'as their fathers have forgotten my 
 name for Baal. 
 
 28 The prophet f that hath a dream, let him tell 
 a dream ; and ne that hath my word, let him speak 
 my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? 
 saith the Lord. 
 
 29 Is not my word like as a fire? saith the Lord; 
 and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces? 
 
 30 Therefore behold, 'I am against the prophets, 
 saith the Lord, that steal my words every one from 
 his neighbour. 
 
 31 Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the 
 Lord, || that use their tongues, and say, He saith. 
 
 32 Behold, I am against them that prophesy false 
 dreams, saith the Lord, and do tell them, and cause 
 my people to err by their lies, and by 'their lightness ; 
 yet I sent them not, nor commanded them ; therefore 
 they shall not profit this people at all, saith the Lord. 
 
 33 II And when this people, or the prophet, or a 
 priest, shall ask thee, sa}'ing. What is 'the burden 
 of the Lord? thou shalt then say unto them, What 
 burden? "I will even forsake you, saith the Lord. 
 
 34 And as for the prophet, and the priest, and 
 the people that shall say, The burden of the Lord, 
 I will even f punish that man and his house. 
 
 35 Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbour, 
 and every one to his brother, What hath the Lcrd 
 answered? and, What hath the Lord spoken? 
 
 36 And the burden of the Lord 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 the Lord of hosts our God. 
 
 37 Thus shalt thou say to the prophet, What 
 hath the Lord answered thee ? and, What hath the 
 Lord spoken? 
 
 38 But since ye say, The burden of the Lord; 
 therefore thus saith the Lord; Because ye say this 
 word, The burden of the Lord, and I have sent unto 
 you, saying, Ye shall not sf.y,The burden of the Lord; 
 
 39 Therefore behold, I. even I, x will utterly forget

 you, and "I will forsake you, and the city that I gave 
 you and your fathers, and cast you out of my presence : 
 40 And I will bring s an everlasting reproach 
 upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be 
 forgotten. 
 
 CHAP. XXIV. 
 
 The restoration of litem l/ial were in captivity foretold. 
 
 T^HE "Lvum shewed me, and behold, two baskets 
 of figs were set before the temple of the Lord, 
 after that Nebuchadrezzar ''king of Babylon had car- 
 ried away captive c Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim 
 king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, with the 
 carpenters and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had 
 brought them to Babylon. 
 
 2 One basket had very good figs, even like the figs 
 that are first ripe: and the other basket had very 
 naughty figs, wliioh could not be eaten, fthey were 
 bo bad. 
 
 3 Then said the Lord unto me, What seest thou, 
 Jeremiah? and I said, Figs; the good figs, very 
 good ; and the evil, very evil, that cannot be eaten, 
 they are so evil. 
 
 4 H Again the word of the Lord came unto me, 
 saying, 
 
 5 Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel; Like 
 these good figs, so will I acknoAvledge f them that 
 are carried away captive of Judah, whom I have 
 seut out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans 
 for their good. 
 
 G For I will set mine eyes upon them for good, 
 and ''I will bring them again to this land: and e 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 /'an heart to know me, 
 that I am the Lord: and they shall be s my people, 
 and I will be their God : for they shall return unto 
 me A with their whole heart. 
 
 8 II And as the evil 'figs, which cannot be eaten, 
 they are so evil; surely thus saith the Lord, So will 
 I give Zedekiah the king of Judah. and his princes, 
 and the residue of Jerusalem, that remain in this 
 land, and *them that dwell in the land of Egypt: 
 
 9 And I will deliver them f to 'be removed into all 
 the kingdoms of the earth for their hurt, '"to be a re- 
 proach and a proverb, a taunt " and a curse, in all 
 ph.ces whither I shall drive them. 
 
 10 And I will send the sword, the famine, and 
 the pestilence, among them, till they be consumed 
 from oif the land that I gave unto them and to their 
 fathers.

 M J A II . The destruction of Babylon, 
 
 his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and 
 dwell in the land that the Lord hath given unto yon 
 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 unto me, saith tho 
 Lord; that ye might -/'provoke me to anger with the 
 works of your hands to your own hurt. 
 
 8 U Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts; Be- 
 cause ye have not heard my words, 
 
 9 Behold, I will send and take *all the families of 
 the north, saith the Lord, and Nebuchadrezzar the 
 king of Babylon, A my servant, and will bring them 
 against this land, and"against the inhabitants thereof, 
 and against all these nations round about, and will 
 utterly destroy them, and 'make them an astonish- 
 ment, and an hissing, and perpetual desolations. 
 
 10 Moreover f I will take from them the * voice of 
 mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the 
 bridegoom, and the voice of the bride, 'the sound of 
 the millstones, and the light of the candle. 
 
 11 And this whole land shall be a desolation, and 
 an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the 
 king of Babylon seventy years. 
 
 12 IT And it shall come to pass, "'when * seventy 
 years are accomplished, thatl will f punish the king 
 of Babylon, and that nation, saith the Lord, 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 prophe- 
 sied against all the nations. 
 
 14 "For many nations /J and great kina;s shall 'serve 
 themselves of them also: r and I will recompense 
 them according to their deeds, and according to the 
 works of their own hands. 
 
 15 IF For thus saith the Lord God of Israel unto 
 me ; Take the * wine-cup of this fury at my hand, ant 
 cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it. 
 
 16 And 'they shall drink, and be moved, and be 
 mad, because of the sword that I will send among 
 them. 
 
 17 Then took I the cup at the Lord's hand, and 
 made all the nations to drink, unto whom the Lord 
 had sent me : 
 
 18 To ivit, Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah., 
 and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to 
 make them "a desolation, an astonishment, an hiss- 
 ing, and •"a curse; as it is this day; 
 
 19 y Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and 
 his princes, and all his people ; 
 
 20 And all z the mingled people, and all the kings

 which are upon the face of the earth : " and the king 
 of Slieshach shall drink after them. 
 
 27 Therefore thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith 
 the Loud of hosts, the God of Israel; ''Drink ye, and 
 « be drunken, and spue, 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 the cup 
 at thy hand to drink, then shalt thou say unto them, 
 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Ye shall certainly 
 drink. 
 
 29 For lo, r I begin to bring evil on the city f* which 
 is called by my name, and should ye be utterly un- 
 punished? Ye shall not be unpunished : for ' I will 
 call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, 
 saith the Lord of hosts. 
 
 30 Therefore prophesy thou against them all these 
 words, and say unto them, The Lord shall "roar from 
 on high, and utter his voice from ^his holy habita- 
 tion; ""he shall mightily roar upon y his habitation; he 
 shall give z a shout, as they that tread the grapes, 
 against all the inhabitants of the earth. 
 
 31 A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth; 
 for the Lord hath a a controversy with the nations, 
 'he will plead with all flesh; he will give them that 
 are wicked to the sword, saith the Lord. 
 
 32 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Behold, evil shall 
 go forth from nation to nation, and c a great whirlwind 
 shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth. 
 
 33 d And the slain of the Loud shall be at that day

 G Then will I make this house like '\Shiloh, and

 7 So the priests and the prophets and all the peo- 
 ple heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house 
 of the Lord. 
 
 8 UNow it came to pass, when Jeremiah had made 
 an end of speaking all that the Lorl had commanded 
 him to speak unto all the people, that the priests and 
 the prophets and all the people took him, saying, Thou 
 shalt surely die. 
 
 9 Why hast thou prophesied in the name of the 
 Lord, saying, This house shall be like Shiloh, and 
 this city shall be desolate without an inhabitant? 
 And all the people Avere gathered against Jeremiah 
 in the house of the Lord. 
 
 10 HWhen the princes of Judah heard these things, 
 then they came up from the king's house unto the 
 house of the Lord, and sat down || in the entrv of 
 the new gate of the Lord's house. 
 
 11 Then spake the priests and the prophets unto 
 the princes and to all the people, saying, j This man 
 is worthy to die; *for he hath prophesied against this 
 city, as ye have heard with your ears* 
 
 12 HThen spake Jeremiah unto all the princes, 
 and to all the people, saying, The Lord sent me to 
 prophesy against this house and against this city all 
 the words that ye have heard. 
 
 13 Therefore now 'amend your ways and your 
 doings, and obey the voice of the Lord your God ; 
 and the Lord will '"repent him of the evil that he 
 hath pronounced against you 
 
 14 As for me, behold, "I am in your hand: dc 
 with me t ?is seemeth good and meet unto you : 
 
 15 But know ye for certain, that if ye put me to 
 death, ye shall surety bring innocent blood upon your- 
 selves, and upon this city, and upon the inhabitants 
 thereof: for of a truth the Lord hath sent me unto 
 you to speak all these words in your ears. 
 
 16 II Then said the princes and all the people unto 
 the priests and to the prophets; This man is not 
 worthy to die : for he hath spoken to us in the name 
 of the Lord our God. 
 
 17 ° Then rose up certain of the elders of the land, 
 and spake to all the assembly of the people, saying, 
 
 18 ^Micah the Morasthite prophesied in the days 
 of Hezekiah king of Judah, and spake to all the 
 people of Judah, saying, Thus saith the Lord of 
 hosts; v Zion shall be ploughed like a field, and Je- 
 rusalem 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 at all to death? 'did he not fear the Lord, and 
 besought t the Lord, and the Lord 'repented lum of 
 the evil which he had pronounced against them? 
 
 Thus might we procure great evil against oui souls. 
 
 20 And there Avas also a man that prophesied in 
 the name of the Lord, Urijah the son of Shemaiah 
 of Kirjath-jearim, AA'ho prophesied against this city 
 and against this land according to all the Avords of 
 Jeremiah : 
 
 21 And when Jehoiakim the king with all hi:.< 
 
 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;

The subduing of the neighbouring kings unto Nebuchadnezzar. 
 
 IN the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the 
 son of Josiah "king of Judah came this word unto 
 Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, 
 
 2 Thus || saith the Lord to me; Make thee bonds 
 and yokes, 'and put them upon thy neck, 
 
 3 And send them to the king of Edom, 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 which come to Jeru- 
 salem unto Zedekiah king of Judah ; 
 
 4 And command them || to say unto their masters, 
 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; 
 Thus shall ye say unto your masters; 
 
 5 C I have made the earth, the man and the beast 
 that arc upon the ground, by my great power and 
 by my out-stretched arm, and d have given it unto 
 whom it seemed meet unto me. 
 
 G 'And now have I given all these lands into the 
 hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, -f my 
 servant; and Hhe beasts of the field have I given 
 him also to serve him. 
 
 7 A And all nations shall serve him, and his son, 
 and his son's son, 'until the very time of his land 
 come: *and then many nations and great kings shall 
 serve themselves of him. 
 
 8 And it shall come to pass, that the nation and 
 kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchad- 
 nezzar the king of Babylon, and that will not put 
 their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, 
 that nation will I punish, saith the Lord, with the 
 sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, 
 until I have consumed them by his hand. 
 
 9 Therefore hearken not ye to your prophets, nor 
 to } r our diviners, nor to your t dreamers, nor to your 
 enchanters, nor to your sorcerers, which speak unto 
 you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon : 
 
 10 'For they prophesy a lie unto you, to remove 
 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 let remain still in their own land, saith the 
 Lord; and they shall till it, and dwell therein. 
 
 12 111 spake also to m Zedekiah king of Judab ac- 
 cording to all the.se 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 people, by the 
 sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the 
 Lord hath spoken against the nation that will not 
 rjerve the king of Babylon? 
 
 14 Therefore hearken not unto the words of the 
 prophets that speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not 
 serve the king of Babylon ; for they prophesy "a lie 
 unto you. 
 
 16 For I have not sent them, saith the Lord, yet

 they prophesy | a lie in my name ; that I might drive 
 you out, and that ye might perish, ye, and the 
 prophets that prophesy unto you. 
 
 16 Also I spake to the priests and to all this peo- 
 ple, saying, Thus saith the Lord; Hearken not to 
 the words of your prophets that prophesy unto you, 
 saying, Behold, ^the vessels of the Lord's house shall 
 now shortly be brought again from Babylon: for 
 they prophesy a lie unto you. 
 
 17 Hearken not unto them; serve the* king of 
 Babylon, and live: wherefore should this city be 
 laid waste? 
 
 18 But if they be prophets, and if the word of the 
 Lord be with them, let them now make intercession 
 to the Lord of hosts, that the vesoels which are left 
 in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the 
 king of Judah. and at Jerusalem, go not to Babylon. 
 
 19 II" For thus naith the Lord of hosts 'concern- 
 ing the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concern- 
 ing the bases, and concerning the residue of the 
 vessels that remain in this city, 
 
 20 Which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took 
 not, when he carried away 'captive Jeconiah the son 
 of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babj r - 
 lon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem; 
 
 21 Yea, thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of 
 Israel, concerning the vessels that remain in the 
 house of the Lord, 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 that I 'visit them, saiih 
 the Lord; then "will I bring them up, and restore 
 them to this place. 
 
 CHAP. XXVIII. 
 
 JIananiah prophesieth the return of the vessels and of Jeconiah 
 
 AND "it came to pass the same year, in the begin- 
 ning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in 
 the fourth year, and in the fifth month, 7/i«niananiah 
 the son of Azur the prophet, which was of Gibeon, 
 spake unto me in. the house of the Lord, in the pres- 
 ence of the priests, and of all the people, saying, 
 
 2 Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, the God of 
 Israel, saying, I have broken *the yoke of the king 
 of Babylon. 
 
 3 f Within ftwo full years will I bring again into 
 this place all the vessels of the Lord's house, that 
 Nebuchadnezzar king of Bab}don took away from 
 this place, and carried them to Babylon. 
 
 4 And I will bring again to this place Jeconiah the 
 son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, with all the f captives 
 of Judah, that went into Babylon, saith the Lord; 
 for I will break the }^oke of the king of Babylon. 
 
 5 IT Then the prophet Jeremiah said unto the 
 prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests, and 
 in the presence of all the people that stood in the 
 house of the Lord. 
 
 6 Even the prophet Jeremiah said, d Amen: the 
 Lord do so: the Lord perform thy words which 
 thou hast prophesied, to bring again the vessels of 
 the Lord's house, and all that is carried away cap- 
 tive, from Babylon into this place. 
 
 7 Nevertheless, hear thou now this word that J 
 speak in thine ears, and in the ears of all the people, 
 
 8 The prophets that have been before me and 
 before thee of old, prophesied both against many 
 
 countries, and 
 
 against 
 
 great kingdoms, of Avar 
 
 and 
 
 of evil, and of pestilence. 
 
 9 c The prophet which prophesieth of peace, when

 Oil A P. XXIX 
 
 the word of the prophet shall come to pass, then 
 shall the prophet he known, that the Lord hath truly 
 sent him. 
 
 10 If Then Hananiah the prophet took the -/yoke 
 from off the prophet Jeremiah's neck, and brake it. 
 
 11 And Hananiah spake in the presence of all the 
 people, saying, Thus saith the Loud ; Even so will I 
 break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon 
 r f*rom the neck of all nations within the space of two 
 full years. And the prophet Jeremiah went his way. 
 
 12 IT Then the word of the Lord came unto Jere- 
 miah the prophet, after that Hananiah the prophet 
 had broken the yoke from off the neck of the prophet 
 Jeremiah, saying, 
 
 13 Go and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus saith the 
 Lord; Thou hast broken the yokes of wood; but 
 thou shalt make for them yokes of iron. 
 
 14 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of 
 Israel ; ''I have put a yoke of iron upon the neck of 
 all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnez- 
 zar king of Babylon ; and they shall serve him : and 
 
 1 have given him the beasts of the field also. 
 
 15 If Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hana- 
 niah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah ; the Lord 
 hath not sent thee; but *thou makest this people to 
 trust in a lie. 
 
 16 Therefore thus saith the Lord ; Behold, I will 
 cast thee from off the face of the earth : this year 
 thou shalt die, because thou hast taught 'f rebellion 
 against the Lord. 
 
 17 So Hananiah the prophet died the same year 
 in the seventh month. 
 
 CHAP. XXIX. 
 
 Jeremiah sendeth a letter to the captives in Babylon. 
 
 NOW these are the words of the letter that Jere- 
 miah the prophet sent from Jerusalem unto the 
 residue of the elders which were carried away cap- 
 tives, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to 
 all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried 
 away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon : 
 
 2 (After that " Jeconiah the king, and the queen, 
 and the || eunuchs, the princes of Judah and Jeru- 
 salem, and the carpenters, and the smiths, were de- 
 parted from Jerusalem ;) 
 
 3 By the hand of Eiasah the son of Shaphan, and 
 Gemariah the son of Hilkiah, (whom Zedekiah king 
 of Judah sent unto Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar 
 king of Babylon,) saying, 
 
 4 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, 
 unto all that are carried away captives, whom I 
 have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem unto 
 Babylon. 
 
 5 'Build ye houses, and dwell in 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 diminished. 
 
 7 And seek the peace of the city whither I have 
 caused you to be carried away captives, c and pray 
 unto the Lord for it : for in the peace thereof shall 
 ye have peace. 
 
 8 IT For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of 
 Israel : Let not your prophets and your diviners, that 
 be in the midst of you, ''deceive you, neither hearken 
 to vour dreams which ye cause to be dreamed. 
 
 e For they prophesy f falsely unto you in my 
 tiarae 1 have not sent them, saith the Lord.

 10 If For thus saith the Loan, That after •'"seventy 
 years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit 3'ou, 
 and perform my good word toward yon, in causing 
 you to return to this place. 
 
 11 For I know the thoughts that 1 think toward 
 you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of 
 evil, to give you an f expected end. 
 
 12 Then shall ye *call upon me, and ye shall go 
 and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. 
 
 13 And h ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye 
 shall search for me 'with all your heart. 
 
 14 And *I will be found of you, saith the Lokd 
 and I will turn away your captivity, and 'I wilJ 
 gather you from all the nations, and from all the 
 places whither I have driven you, saith the Lord • 
 and I will bring you again into the place whence ] 
 caused you to be carried away captive. 
 
 15 II Because ye have said, The Lord hath raised 
 us up prophets in Babylon ; 
 
 16 Knoiv that thus saith the Lord of the king 
 that sitteth upon the throne of David, and of all the 
 people that dwelleth in this city, and of your brethren 
 that are not gone forth with you into captivity ; 
 
 17 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Behold, I will 
 send upon them the m sword, the famine, and the 
 pestilence, and will make them like "vile figs, that 
 cannot be eaten, they are so evil. 
 
 18 And I will persecute them with the sword, 
 with the famine, and with the pestilence, and 'will 
 deliver them to be removed to all the kingdoms of 
 the earth, fto be ; 'a curse, and an astonishment, and 
 an hissing, and a reproach, among all the nations 
 whither I have driven them : 
 
 19 Because they have not hearkened to my words, 
 saith the Lord, which ? I sent unto them by my ser- 
 vants the prophets, rising up early and sending than; 
 but ye would not hear, saith the Lord. 
 
 20 II Hear ye therefore the word of the Lord, all 
 ye of the captivity, whom I have sent from Jerusa- 
 lem to Babylon : 
 
 21 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Is- 
 rael, of Ahab the son of Kolaiah, and of Zedekiah 
 the son of Maaseiah, which prophesy a lie unto you 
 in my name ; Behold, I will deliver them into the 
 hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he 
 shall slay them before } r our eyes ; 
 
 22 r And of them shall be taken up a curse by all 
 the captivity of Judah which are in Babylon, saying, 
 The Lord make thee like Zedekiah and like Ahab, 
 'whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire; 
 
 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 ; even I know, 
 and am a witness, saith the Lord. 
 
 24 H Thus shalt thou also speak to Shemaiah the 
 || Nehelamite, saying, 
 
 25 Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, the God ot 
 Israel, saying, Because thou hast sent letters in thy 
 name unto all the people that are at Jerusalem, "and 
 to Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, and 
 to all the priests, saying, 
 
 26 The Lord hath made thee priest in the stead 
 of Jehoiada the priest, that ye should be ■* officers in 
 the house of the Lord, for every man that is y mad, 
 and maketh himself a prophet, that thou shouldest 
 s put him in prison, and in the stocks. 
 
 27 Now therefore why hast thou not reproved

 Jeremiah of Anathoth, which . maketh himself a 
 prophet to you? 
 
 28 For therefore he sent unto 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 ears of Jeremiah the prophet. 
 
 30 IT Then came the word of the Lord unto Jere- 
 miah, saying, 
 
 31 Send to all them of the captivity, saying, Thus 
 saith the Lord concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite ; 
 Because that Shemaiah hath prophesied unto } r ou, 
 *and I sent him not, and he caused you to trust in 
 a lie : 
 
 32 Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, 1 will 
 punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and his seed : he 
 shall not have a man to dwell among this people; 
 neither shall he behold the good that I will do for 
 my people, saith the Lord; c because he hath taught 
 f rebellion against the Lord. 
 
 CHAP. XXX. 
 
 God sheioeth Jeremiah the return of the Jews. 
 
 THE word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, 
 saying, 
 
 2 Thus speaketh the Lord God of Israel, saying, 
 Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto, 
 thee in a book. 
 
 3 For lo, the days come, saith the Lord, that " I 
 will bring again the captivity of my people Israel 
 and Judah, saith the Lord: 4 and I will cause them 
 to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, 
 and they shall possess it. 
 
 4 H And these are the words that the Lord spake 
 concerning Israel, and concerning Judah. 
 
 5 For thus saith the Lord ; We have heard a voice 
 of trembling, || of fear, and not of peace. 
 
 6 Ask ye now, and see whether f& m an doth 
 travail with child? wherefore do I see every man 
 with his hands on his loins, f as a woman in travail, 
 and all faces are turned into paleness? 
 
 7 ''Alas! for that day is great, e so that none is 
 Like it : it is even the time of Jacob's trouble, but 
 he shall be saved out of it. 
 
 8 For it shall come to pass in that da} r , saith the 
 Lord of hosts, that I will break his j'oke from off 
 thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers 
 shall no more serve themselves of him : 
 
 9 But they shall serve the Lord their God, and 
 f David their king, whom I will ^ raise up unto them. 
 
 10 H Therefore *fear thou not, my servant Ja- 
 cob, saith the Lord; neither be dismayed, 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 the Lord, 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 '"in measure, and will 
 not leave thee altogether unpunished. 
 
 12 For thus saith the Lord, "Thy bruise is incura- 
 ble, and thy wound is grievous. 
 
 13 There is none to plead thy cause, fthat thou 
 mayest be bound up : " thou hast no healing medi- 
 cines. 
 
 14 ''All thy lovers have forgotten thee; they seek 
 thee not; for I have wounded thee with the wound 
 •of an enemy, with I he chastisement r of a cruel one,

 for the multitude of thine iniquity; 'because thy 
 sins were increased. 
 
 15 Why 'criest thou for thine affliction? thy sor- 
 row is incurable for the multitude of thine iniquity: 
 because thy sins were increased, I have done these 
 things unto thee. 
 
 16 Therefore all they that devour thee "shall be 
 devoured ; and all thine adversaries, every one of 
 them shall go into captivity; and they that sport 
 thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee 
 will I give for a prey. 
 
 17 a For I will restore health unto thee, and 1 will 
 heal thee of thy Avounds, saith the Lord: because 
 they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion. 
 whom no man seeketh after. 
 
 18 If Thus saith the Lord; Behold, ^1 will bring 
 again the captivity of Jacob's tents, and 'have mercy 
 on his dwelling-places; and the city shall be builded 
 upon her own || heap, and the palace shall remain 
 after the manner thereof. 
 
 19 And "out of them shall proceed thanksgiving 
 and the voice of them that make merry: 4 and 1 will 
 multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will 
 also glorify them, and they shall not be small. 
 
 20 Their children also shall be c as aforetime, and 
 their congregation shall be established before me; 
 and I will punish all that oppress them. 
 
 21 And their nobles shall be of themselves, ''and 
 their governor shall proceed from the midst of them ; 
 and I will e cause him to draw near, and he shall ap- 
 proach unto me : for who is this that engaged his 
 heart to approach unto me? saith the Lord."

 1 The restoration of Israel. 22 Christ is promised. 
 
 AT "the same time, saith the Lord, *will 1 be the 
 God of all the families of Israel, and they shall 
 be my people. 
 
 2 Thus saith the Lord, The people which ivere left 
 of the sword found grace in the wilderness; even 
 Israel, when C I went to cause him to rest. 
 
 3 The Lord hath appeared f of old unto me, say- 
 ing, Yea, rf l have loved thee with e an everlasting love : 
 therefore || with loving-kindness have I ■> drawn thee. 
 
 4 Again e I will build thee, and thou shaltbe built, 
 O virgin of Israel: thou shalt again be adorned with 
 thy 'Mltabrets, and shalt go forth- in the dances of 
 them that make merry. 
 
 5 ' Thou shalt yet plant vines upon the mountains 
 of Samaria : the planters shall plant, and shall f eat 
 them as common things. 
 
 6 For there shall be a day, that the watchmen 
 upon the mount Ephraim shall cry, * Arise ye, and 
 let us go up to Zion unto the Lord our God. 
 
 7 For thus saith the Lord; 'Sing with gladness 
 for Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations , 
 publish ye, praise ye, and sa}*, Lord, save thy 
 people, the remnant of Israel. 
 
 8 Behold, I will bring them '"from the north conn

 with them the Mind and the lame, the womau with 
 child Mini her that travaileth with child together: a 
 ^reat company shall return thither. 
 
 9 "They shall come with weeping, and with || sup- 
 plications will I lead them ; I will cause them to 
 walk ''by the rivers of waters in a straight way, 
 wherein they shall not stumble : for I am a father 
 to Israel, and Ephraim is my 'first-born. 
 
 10 IF Hear the word of the Lord, ye nations, 
 and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He that 
 scattered Israel 'will gather him, and keep him, as 
 a shepherd doth his flock. 
 
 11 For 'the Lord hath redeemed Jacob, and ran- 
 somed him 'from the hand of kirn that was stronger 
 than he. 
 
 12 Therefore they shall come and sing in "the 
 height of Zion, and shall flow together to ^the 
 goodness of the Lord, for wheat, and for wine, and 
 for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the 
 herd : and their soui shall be as a y watered garden; 
 "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 from their sorrow. 
 
 14 And I will satiate the soul of the priests with 
 fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my 
 goodness, saith the Lord. 
 
 15 IF Thus saith the Lord; °A voice, was heard in 
 * Raman, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rachel 
 weeping for her children refused to be comforted 
 for her children, because ' they were not. 
 
 16 Thus saith the Lord; Refrain thy voice from 
 weeping, and thine eyes from tears : for thy work 
 shall be rewarded, saith the Lord; and ''they shall 
 come again from the land of the enemy. 
 
 17 And there is hope in thine end, saith the 
 Lord, that thy children shall come again to their 
 own border. 
 
 18 HI have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning 
 himself thus ; Thou hast chastised me, and I was 
 chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke: 
 
 turn thou me, and I shall be turned; for thou art 
 the Lord my God. 
 
 19 Surely s after that I was turned, I repented ; 
 md after that I was instructed, I smote upon my 
 thigh : I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, be- 
 cause I did bear the repi'oach of my youth. 
 
 20 Is Ephraim my dear son ? is he a pleasant 
 child? for since I spake against him, I do earnestly 
 remember him still: s therefore my bowels f ar e 
 troubled for him; A I will surely have mercy upon 
 him, saith the Lord. 
 
 21 Set thee up way-marks, make thee high heaps : 
 set thy heart toward the highway, even the way 
 
 which thou wentest: turn again, virgin of Israel, 
 turn again to these thy cities. 
 
 22 HHow long wilt thou *go about, thou 'back- 
 sliding daughter? for the Lord hath created a new 
 thing in the earth, A woman shall compass a man. 
 
 23 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Is- 
 rael; As yet they shall use this speech in the land 
 cf Judah and in the cities thereof, when I shall 
 bring again their captivity; '"The Lord bless thee, 
 habitation of justice, and "mountain of holiness. 
 
 2-4 And there shall dwell in Judah itself, and "in 
 all the cities thereof together, husbandmen, and 
 thev that go forth with flocks.

 have replenished every Borrow/fill soul. 
 
 25 For 
 ave rep! 
 20 Upon this I awaked, and beheld; and my 
 sleep was sweet unto me. 
 
 27 IF Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that 
 ^I will sow the house of Israel and the house of 
 Judah Avith the seed of man, and with the seed of 
 beast. 
 
 28 And it shall come to pass, that like as I have 
 'watched 0A r er 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 the Lord. 
 
 29 'In those days they shall say no more, The 
 fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's 
 teeth are set on edge. 
 
 30 "But every one shall die for his own iniquity: 
 every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth 
 shall be set on edge. 
 
 31 IF Behold, the x clays come, saith the Lord, 
 that I will make a new covenant with the house of 
 Israel, and with the house of Judah : 
 
 32 Not according to the covenant that I made 
 with their fathers, in the day that y l took them by 
 the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; 
 which my covenant they brake, || although I was an 
 husband unto them, saith the Lord : 
 
 33 *But this shall be the . covenant that I will 
 make with the house of Israel; After those days, 
 saith the Lord, "I will put my law in their inward 
 parts, and write it in their hearts; 'and will be 
 their God, and they shall be my people. 
 
 34 And they shall teach no more every man his 
 neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know 
 the Lord: for c they shall all know me, from the 
 least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the 
 Lord: for ''I will forgive their iniquity, and I will 
 remember their sin no more. 
 
 35 IF Thus saith the Lord, 'which giveth the sun 
 for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon 
 and of the stars for a light by night, which divide th 
 •'the sea when the waves thereof roar; *The Lord 
 of hosts is his name : 
 
 36 "If those ordinances depart from before me, 
 the Lord, then the seed of Israel also shall 
 from being a nation before me for ever. 
 Thus saith the Lord; 'If heaven above can be 
 
 measured, and the foundations of the earth searched 
 out beneath, I Avill also cast off all the seed of Israel 
 for all that they have done, saith the Lord. 
 
 38 IF Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, thai 
 the city shall be built to the Lord *from the toAver

 of Hananeel unto the gate of the corner

 40 And the Avhole valley of the dead bodies, and 
 of the ashes, and all the fields unto the brook of 
 Kidron, '"unto the corner of the horse-gate toward 
 the east, "shall be holy unto the Lord; it shall not 
 be plucked up, nor thrown down any more for ever. 
 
 CHAP. XXXII. 
 
 Jeremiah imprisoned by Zedekiab. for his prophecy. 
 
 THE word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord 
 "in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, 
 Avhich zvas the eighteenth \ r ear of Nebuchadrezzar. 
 2 For then the king of Babylon's ai my besieged 
 Jerusalem: and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up 
 
 479 
 
Jeremiah imprisoned. 
 
 JEREMIAH, 
 
 'in the court of the prison, which was in the king 
 of Julian's house. 
 
 3 For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, 
 saying, Wherefore dost thou prophesy, and say, Thus 
 saith the Lord, c Behold, I will give this city into the 
 hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it; 
 
 4 And Zedekiah king of Judah d shall not escape 
 out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely 
 be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon 
 and shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his 
 eyes shall behold his eyes; 
 
 5 And he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon, and 
 there shall he be "until I visit him, saith the Lord; 
 /though ye fight with the Chaldeans, } c shall not 
 prosper ? 
 
 6 H And Jeremiah said, The won, jf the Lord 
 came unto me, saying, 
 
 7 Behold, Hanameel, the son of Shallum thine 
 uncle, shall come unto thee, saying, Buy thee my 
 field that is in Anathoth: for the * right of redemp- 
 tion 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 the 
 Lord, and said unto me, Buy my field, I pray thee, 
 that is in Anathoth, which is in the country of Ben- 
 jamin : 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 the Lord. 
 
 9 And I bought the field of Hanameel mine un- 
 cle's son, that was in Anathoth, and ''weighed him 
 the money, even || seventeen shekels of silver. 
 
 10 And I f subscribed the evidence, and sealed it, 
 and took witnesses, and weighed him the money in 
 the balances. 
 
 11 So I took the evidence of the purchase, both 
 that which was sealed according to the law and cus- 
 tom, and that which was open: 
 
 12 And I gave the evidence of the purchase unto 
 '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 book 
 of the purchase, before all the Jews that sat in the 
 court of the prison. 
 
 13 IT Aiid I charged Baruch before them, saying, 
 
 14 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Is- 
 rael; Take these evidences, this evidence of the 
 purchase, both which is sealed, and this evidence 
 which is open; and put them in an earthen vessel, 
 that they may continue many days. 
 
 15 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of 
 israel; Houses and fields and vineyards 'shall be 
 possessed again in this land. 
 
 16 If Now when I had delivered the evidence of 
 the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah, I 
 prayed unto the Lord, saying, 
 
 17 Ah Lord God! behold, '"thou hast made the 
 heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretch- 
 ed out arm, and " there is nothing || too hard for thee : 
 
 18 Thou shewesf loving-kindness unto thousands, 
 and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into 
 the bosom of their children after them : The Great, 
 p The Mighty God, ''The Lord of hosts, is his name; 
 
 19 r Great in counsel, and mighty in fwork: for 
 thine 'eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons 
 of men; 'to give every one according to his ways, 
 and according to the fruit of his doings: 
 
 20 Which hast set signs and wonders in the land 
 of Egypt, even unto this da} r , and in Israel, and among

 land 
 
 22 And hast given them this land, which 
 didst swear to their fathers to give them, y a 
 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 nothing of all that thou oommand- 
 edst them to do: therefore thou hast caused all this 
 evil to come upon them: 
 
 24 Behold the || mounts, they are come unto the 
 city to take it; and the city "is given into the hand 
 of the Chaldeans, that fight against it, because of 
 Hhe sword, and of the famine and of the pestilence : 
 and what thou hast spoken is come to pass; and 
 behold, thou seest it. 
 
 25 And thou hast said unto me, O Lord God, Buy 
 thee the field for money, and take witnesses; jj for 
 c the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans. 
 
 26 II Then came the word of the Lord unto Jere- 
 miah, saying, 
 
 27 Behold, I am the Lord, the ''God of all flesh: 
 e is there any thing too hard for me? 
 
 28 Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, 'I will 
 give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and 
 into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, 
 and he shall take it: 
 
 29 And the Chaldeans, that fight against this city, 
 shall come and 4 ' set fire on this city, and burn it with 
 the houses, * upon whose roofs they have offered in- 
 cense unto Baal, and poured out drink-offerings unto 
 other e;ods, to provoke me to anger. 
 
 30 For the children of Israel and the children of 
 Judah ' have only done evil before me from their youth : 
 for the children of Israel have only provoked me to 
 anger with the work of their hands, saith the Lord. 
 
 ol For this city hath been to me as fa provoca- 
 tion of mine anger and of my fury from the day that 
 they built it even unto this day; *that I should re- 
 move it from before my face, 
 
 32 Because of all the evil of the children of Is- 
 rael and of the children of Judah, which they havo 
 done to provoke me to anger, 'they, their kings, theii 
 princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men 
 of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 
 
 33 And they have turned unto me the t m back, and 
 not the face : though I taught them, "rising up early 
 and teaching them, yet they have not hearkened to 
 receive instruction. 
 
 34 But they "set their.abominations in the houso 
 which is called by my name, to defile it. 
 
 35 And they built the high places of Baal, which 
 are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to p cause 
 their sons and their daughters to pass through fie 
 fire unto 'Molech: 'which I commanded them not, 
 neither came it into my mind, that they should do 
 this abomination, to cause Judah to sin. 
 
 36 % And now therefore thus saith the Lord, the 
 God of Israel, concerning this city, whereof ye say, 
 *It shall be delivered into the hand of the king of 
 Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by 
 the pestilence; 
 
 37 Behold, I will 'gather them out of all countries! 
 whither I have driven them in mine anger, and in .ny

 fury, and in great wrath ; and I will bring them again 
 unto this place, and I will cause them "to dwell safely: 
 
 38 And they shall be 'my people, and I will be 
 their God: 
 
 39 And I will y give them one heart and one way, 
 that they may fear ine t for ever, for the good of 
 them, and of their children after them : 
 
 40 And z l will make an everlasting covenant with 
 them, that I will not turn away ffrom them, to do 
 them good; but "I will put my fear in their hearts, 
 that they shall not depart from me. 
 
 41 Yea, b l will rejoice over them to do them good, 
 and 'I will plant them in this land f assuredly with 
 my whole heart and with my whole soul. 
 
 42 For thus saith the Lord ; ''Like as I have brought 
 all this great evil upon this people, so will I bring 
 upon them all the good that I have promised them. 
 
 43 And 'fields shall be bought in this land, 
 Avhereof ye say, It is desolate without man or 
 beast ; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans. 
 
 44 Men snail buy fields for money, and subscribe 
 evidences, and seal them, and take witnesses in s the 
 land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusa- 
 lem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of 
 the mountains, and in the eiti.es of the valley, and 
 in the cities of the south: for *I will cause their 
 captivity to return, saith the Lord.

 1 A gracious return promised. 15 Christ the branch of righteousness 
 
 promised. 
 
 MOREOVER the word of the Lord came unto 
 Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet 
 "shut up in the court of the prison, saying, 
 
 2 Thus saith the Lord the * maker thereof, the 
 Lord that formed it, to establish it; H c The Lord is 
 his name ; 
 
 3 ''Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew 
 thee great and || mighty things,which thou kno west not. 
 
 4 For thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, con- 
 cerning 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 with the Chaldeans, 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 hid my face from this 
 city. 
 
 6 Behold, S I will bring it health and cure, and I 
 will cure them, and will reveal unto them the abun- 
 dance of peace and truth. 
 
 7 And A i will cause the captivity of Judah and 
 the captivity of Israel to return, and will build them, 
 
 as at the first. 
 
 8 And I will * cleanse them from all their iniquity, 
 whereby they have sinned against me; and I will 
 'pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned, 
 and whereby they have transgressed against me. 
 
 9 If '"And it shall be to me a name of joy, a praise, 
 and an honour, before all the nations of the earth, 
 which shall hear all the good that I do unto them : 
 and they shall " fear and tremble for all the goodness 
 and for all the prosperity that I procure unto it. 
 
 10 Thus saith the Lord; Again there shall be 
 heard in this place, "which ye say shall be desolate 
 without man and Avithout beast, even in the cities of 
 Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are de 
 solate, without man, and without inhabitant, and

 C1IAP. XXXIII, XXXIV. Christ the branch promise I. 
 
 11 The ''voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, 
 the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the 
 bride, the voice of them that shall say, ''Praise the 
 Lord of hosts: for the Loud is good; for his mercy 
 endurelh for ever: and of them that shall bring ' (lie 
 sacrifice of praise into the house of the Lord. For 
 *I will cause to return the captivity of the land, as 
 at the first, saith the Lord. 
 
 12 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; 'Again in this 
 which is desolate without man and without 
 and in all the cities thereof, shall be an habi- 
 of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down. 
 
 "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 Je- 
 rusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall the flocks 
 'pass again under the hands of him that telleth them, 
 saith the Lord. 
 
 14 y Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that ; I 
 will perform that good thing which I have promised 
 unto the house of Israel and to the house of Judah. 
 
 15 II In those days, and at that time, will I cause 
 the " Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David : 
 and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in 
 the land. 
 
 16 4 In those days shall Judah be saved, and Je- 
 rusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name 
 wherewith she shall be called, fThe Lord our 
 Righteousness. 
 
 17 IT For thus saith the Lord; | David shall nevei 
 "want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of 
 Israel ; 
 
 18 Neither shall the priests the Levites want a 
 man before me to d offer burnt-offerings, and to kindle 
 meat-offerings, and to do sacrifice continually. 
 
 19 HAnd the word of the Lord came unto Jere 
 miah, saying, 
 
 20 Thus saith the Lord; 'If ye can break my 
 covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, 
 and that there should not be day and night in their 
 season ; 
 
 21 Then may also -^my covenant be broken with 
 David my servant, that he should not have a son 
 to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the 
 priests, my ministers. 
 
 22 As *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 that minister unto me. 
 
 23 Moreover the word of the Lord came to Jere- 
 miah, saying, 
 
 24 Considerest thou not what this people have 
 spoken, saying, A The two families which the Lord 
 hath chosen, he hath even cast them off? thus they 
 have despised my people, that they should be no 
 more a nation before them. 
 
 25 Thus saith the Lord; If 'my covenant be not 
 with day and night, and if I have not *appointed 
 the ordinances of heaven and earth ; 
 
 26 'Then will I cast away the seed of Jacob, ami 
 David my servant, so that I will not take any of his 
 seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaa«-, 
 and Jacob : for m I will cause their captivity to return, 
 and have mercy on them.

Jeremiah prophmefh the 
 
 JEREMIAH. 
 
 captivity of Zedekiah 
 
 and all his army, and 6 all the kingdoms of the earth 
 + of his dominion, and all the people fought against 
 Jerusalem, and against all the cities thereof, saying, 
 
 2 Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel; Go 
 and speak to Zcdekiah king of Judah, and tell him, 
 Thus saith the Lord; Behold, C I will give this city 
 into the hand of the king of Babylon, and ''he shall 
 Ourn it with fire : 
 
 3 And e thou shalt not escape out of his hand, but 
 shalt surely be taken, and delivered into his hand ; 
 and thine eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of 
 Babylon, and fne shall speak with thee mouth to 
 mouth, and thou shalt go to Babylon. 
 
 4 Yet hear the word of the Lord, Zedekiah 
 king of Judah ; Thus saith the Lord of thee, Thou 
 shalt not die by the sword : 
 
 5 But thou shalt die in peace: and with •'"the 
 burnings of thy fathers, the former kings which 
 were before thee, s so shall they burn odours for thee : 
 and * they will lament thee, saying, Ah lord ! for I 
 have pronounced the word, saith the Lord. 
 
 6 Then Jeremiah the prophet spake all these 
 words unto Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem, 
 
 7 When the king of Babylon's army fought against 
 Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that 
 were left, against Lachish, and against Azekah: 
 for 'these defenced cities remained of the cities of 
 Judah. 
 
 8 ^1 This is the word that came unto Jeremiah from 
 the Lord, after that the king Zedekiah had made a 
 covenant with all the people which were at Jerusa- 
 lem, to proclaim * liberty unto them; 
 
 9 -'That every man should let his man-servant, and 
 every man his maid-servant, being an Hebrew or an 
 Hebrewess, go free; m that none should serve him- 
 self of them, to wit, of a Jew his brother. 
 
 10 Now when all the princes, and all the people 
 which had entered into the covenant, heard that 
 every one should let his man-servant, and every 
 one his maid-servant, go free, that none should serve 
 themselves of them 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 1[ Therefore the word of the Lord came to 
 Jeremiah, from the Lord, saying, 
 
 13 Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel; I 
 made a covenant with your fathers in the day that 
 1 brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out 
 of the house of bond-men, saying, 
 
 11 At the end of "seven years, let ye go every man 
 his brother an Hebrew, which || hath been sold unto 
 thee; and when he hath served thee six years, thou 
 shalt let him go free from thee; but your fathers 
 hearkened not unto me, neither inclined their ear. 
 
 15 And ye were f now turned, and had done right 
 in my sight, in proclaiming liberty every man to his 
 neighbour; and ye had p made a covenant before me 
 »in the house f which is called by my name; 
 
 16 But 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 return, and brought them into subjec- 
 tion, to be unto you for servants and for handmaids. 
 
 17 Therefore thus saith the Lord; Ye have not 
 hearkened unto me, in proclaiming liberty, every

 fight against it, 4 and take it, and burn it with fire: 
 and C I will make the cities of Judah a desolation 
 without an inhabitant. 
 
 CHAP. XXXV. 
 
 God blesseth the Rechabites for their obedience. 
 
 THE word which came unto Jeremiah from the 
 Lord, in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Jo- 
 siah king of Judah, saying, 
 
 2 Go unto the house of the "Rechabites, and 
 speak unto them, and bring them into the house of 
 the Lord, into one of 'the chambers, and give them 
 wine to drink. 
 
 3 Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, 
 the son of Habaziniah, and his brethren, and all his 
 sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites ; 
 
 4 And I brought them into the house of the Lord, 
 into the chamber of the sons of Hanan, the son of Ig- 
 daliah, a man of God, which was by the chamber of 
 the princes, which was above the chamber of Maaseiah 
 the son of Shallum, c the keeper of the fdoor: 
 
 5 And I set before the sons of the house of the 
 Rechabites, pots full of wine, and cups, and I said 
 unto them, Drink ye wine. 
 
 6 But they said, We will drink no wine : for ''Jon- 
 adab the son of Rechab our father commanded us, 
 saying, Y : 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 be strangers. 
 
 8 Thus have we obeyed the voice of Jonadab the 
 son of Rechab bur 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 houses for us to dwell in: neither 
 have Ave vineyard, nor field, nor seed : 
 
 10 But Ave 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 Nebuchadrezzar 
 king of Babylon came up into the land, that we 
 said. Come, and let us go to Jerusalem for fear oi 
 
Tlte Jews' disobedience condemned.

 the army of the Chaldeans, and for fear ol the army 
 of the Syrians : so we dwell at Jerusalem. 
 
 12 UThen came the word of the Loud unto Jere- 
 miah, saying, 
 
 13 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Is- 
 rael; Go and tell the men of Judah and the inhab- 
 itants of Jerusalem, Will ye not -''receive instruction 
 to hearken to my words? saith the Lord. 
 
 14 The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, 
 that he commanded his sons not to drink wine, are 
 performed; for unto this day they drink none, but 
 obey their father's commandment: g notwithstanding 
 I have spoken unto you, "rising early and speaking; 
 but ye hearkened not unto me. 
 
 15 '1 have sent also unto you all my servants the 
 prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, 
 * Return ye now every man from his evil way, and 
 amend youi doings, and go not after other gods to 
 serve them, and ye shall dwell in the land w T hich I 
 have given to you and to your fathers : but ye have 
 not inclined youi ear, nor hearkened unto me. 
 
 10 Because the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab 
 have performed the commandment of their father, 
 which he commanded them ; but this people hath 
 not hearkened unto me : 
 
 17 Therefore thus saith the Lord God of hosts, the 
 God of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon Judah and 
 upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil 
 that I have pronounced against them ; ' because I have 
 spoken unto them, but they have not heard ; and I 
 have called unto them, but they have not answered. 
 
 18 IT And Jeremiah said unto the house of the Re- 
 chabites, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of 
 Israel; Because ye have obeyed the commandment 
 of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and 
 done according unto all that he hath commanded you : 
 
 19 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, the 
 God of Israel; f Jonadab the son of Rechab shall 
 not want a man to m stand before me for ever. 
 
 CHAP. XXXVI. 
 
 Jeremiah causeth Baruch to write his prophecy. 
 
 AND it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoi- 
 akim the son of Josiah king of Judah, that this 
 word came unto Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, 
 
 2 Take thee a "roll of a book, and 'write therein 
 all the words that I have spoken unto thee against 
 Israel, and against Judah, and against r all the na- 
 tions, from the day I spake unto thee, from the 
 Jays of ''Josiah, even unto this day. 
 
 3 e It may be that the house of Judah will hear 
 all the evil which I purpose to do unto them ; that 
 they may ^'return every man from his evil way; 
 that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin. 
 
 4 Then Jeremiah e called Baruch the son of Ne- 
 riah: and h Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jere- 
 miah all the words of the Lord, which he had 
 spoken unto him, upon a roll of a book. 
 
 5 And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I am 
 shut up, I cannot go into the house of the Lord : 
 
 6 Therefore go thou and read in the roll, which 
 thou hast written from my mouth, the words of the 
 Lord in the ears of the people in the Lord's house 
 upon 'the fasting day: and also thou shalt read them 
 in the ears of all Judah that come out of their cities. 
 
 7 4 It may be fthey will present their supplica- 
 tion before the Lord, and will return every one from 
 his evil way: for great is the anger and the fury 
 that the Lord hath pronounced against this people

 TJie reading of Jeremiah's pro/j/trty. 
 
 8 And Baruch the son of Neriah did according 
 to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, 
 reading in the book the words of the Lord in tho 
 Lord's house. 
 
 9 And it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoi- 
 akim the son of Josiah king of Judah, in the ninth 
 month, that they proclaimed a fast before the Lord 
 to all the people in Jerusalem, and to all the people 
 that came from the cities of Judah unto Jerusalem. 
 
 10 Then read Baruch in the book the words of 
 Jeremiah in the house of the Lord, in the chamber 
 of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the 
 higher court, at the || 'entry of the new gate of the 
 Lord's house, in the ears of all the people. 
 
 11 HWhen Michaiah the son of Gemariah, the 
 son of Shaphan, had heard out of the book all the 
 words of the Lord, 
 
 12 Then he went down into the king's house, mio 
 the scribe's chamber: and lo, all the princes sat 
 there, even Elishama the scribe, and Delaiah the sou 
 of Shemaiah, and Elnathan the son of Achbor, and 
 Gemariah the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah the 
 son of Hananiah, and all the princes. 
 
 13 Then Michaiah declared unto them all th« 
 words that he had heard, when Baruch read the 
 book in the ears of the people. 
 
 14 Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the son 
 of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of 
 Cushi, unto Baruch, saying, Take in thine hand the 
 roll wherein thou hast read in the ears of the peo- 
 ple, and come. So Baruch the son of Neriah took 
 the roll in his hand, and came unto them. 
 
 15 And they said unto him, Sit down now, and 
 read it in our ears. So Baruch rea 1 it in their ears. 
 
 16 Now it came to pass, when they had heard 
 all the words, they were afraid both one and other, 
 and said unto Baruch, We will surely tell the king 
 of all these words. 
 
 17 And they asked Baruch, saying, Tell us now, 
 How didst thou write all these words at his mouth £ 
 
 18 Then Baruch answered them, He pronounced 
 all these words unto me with his mouth, and I wrote 
 them with ink in the book. 
 
 19 Then said the princes unto Baruch, Go, hide 
 thee, thou and Jeremiah; and let no man know 
 where ye be. 
 
 20 HAnd 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 ears of the king. 
 
 21 So the king sent Jehudi to fetch the roll: and 
 he took it out of Elishama the scribe's chamber. And 
 Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the ears 
 of all the princes which stood beside the king. 
 
 22 Now the king sat in "'the winter-house in the 
 ninth month: and there was a fire on the hearth 
 burning before him. 
 
 23 And it came to pass, that when Jehudi had read* 
 three or four leaves, he cut it with the penknife, and 
 castit into the fire that was on the hearth, until all the 
 roll was consumed in the fire that tvas on the hearth. 
 
 24 Yet they were not afraid, nor "rent their gar- 
 ments, neither the king, nor any of his servants that 
 heard all these words. 
 
 25 Nevertheless Elnathan and Delaiah and Gema- 
 riah 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 Uammelech. and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and 
 
 4*3 
 
'/Tie Cltnldeans return, d~c. 
 
 JEREMIAH 
 
 Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to take Baruch the scribe 
 and Jeremiah the prophet: but the Lord hid them. 
 
 27 II Then the word of the Loud came to Jere- 
 miah, after that the king had burned the roll, and 
 I he words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of 
 Jeremiah, saying, 
 
 28 Take thee again another roll, and write in it 
 all the former words that were in the first roll, which 
 Jehoiakim the king of Judah hath burned. 
 
 29 And thou snalt say to Jehoiakim king of Ju- 
 dah, Thus saith the Lord; Thou hast burned this 
 roll, saying, Why hast thou written therein, saying, 
 The king of Babylon shall certainly come and de- 
 stroy this land, and shall cause to cease from thence 
 man and beast? 
 
 30 Therefore thus saith the Lord, of Jehoiakim 
 king of Judah; "He shall have none to sit upon the 
 throne of David : and his dead body shall be ''cast out 
 in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost. 
 
 31 And I will f punish him and his seed and his 
 servants for their iniquity; and I will bring upon 
 them, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and 
 upon the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pro- 
 nounced against them; but they hearkened not. 
 
 32 IT Then took Jeremiah 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 
 urivo them many t like words. 
 
 CHAP. XXXVII. 
 
 1 Jeremiah prophesieth the Chaldeans? certain return and victory. 11 He is 
 smitten and put in prison. 
 
 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 Judah. 
 
 2 4 But neither he, nor his servants, nor the peo- 
 ple of the land, did hearken unto the words of the 
 Lord, which he spake f by the prophet Jeremiah. 
 
 3 And Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of 
 Shelemiah, and "Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the 
 priest to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, Pray now 
 unto the Lord our God for us. 
 
 4 Now Jeremiah came in and went out among 
 the people: for thev had not put him into prison. 
 
 5 Then ''Pharaoh's army Avas come forth out of 
 Egypt: e and when the Chaldeans that besieged Je- 
 rusalem heard tidings of them, they departed from 
 Jerusalem. 
 
 6 H Then came the word of the Lord unto the 
 prophet Jeremiah, saying, 
 
 I Thus. saith Ihe Lord, the God of Israel; Thus 
 shall ye say to the king of Judah, -/"that sent you 
 unto me to inquire of me; Behold, Pharaoh's army, 
 
 . which is come forth to help you, shall return to 
 Egypt into their own land. 
 
 8 *And the Chaldeans shall come again, and fight 
 against this city, and take it, and burn it with fire. 
 
 9 Thus saith the Lord; Deceive not f yourselves, 
 saying, The Chaldeans shall surely depart from us : 
 for they shall not depart. 
 
 10 A For though ye had smitten the whole army 
 jf the Chaldeans that fight against you, and there 
 remained . but f wounded men among them, yet 
 should they rise up every man in his tent, and burn

 Jeremiah imprisoned 
 
 of the Chaldeans was f broken up from Jerusalem 
 for fear of Pharaoh's army, 
 
 12 Then Jeremiah went forth out of Jerusalem 
 to go into the land of Benjamin, || to separate him- 
 self thence in the midst of (he people. 
 
 13 And when he was in the gate of Benjamin, 
 a captain of the ward was there, whose name was 
 Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah ; 
 and he took Jeremiah the prophet, saying, Thou 
 tallest away to the Chaldeans. 
 
 14 Then said Jeremiah. It is f false ; I fall not away 
 to the Chaldeans. But he hearkened not to him : so 
 Irijah took Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes. 
 
 15 Wherefore the princes were wroth with Jere- 
 miah, and smote him, *and put him in prison in tho 
 house of Jonathan the scribe: for they had made 
 that the prison. 
 
 16 HWhen Jeremiah was entered into 'the dun- 
 geon, and into the || cabins, and Jeremiah had re- 
 mained 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 the Lord? And 
 Jeremiah said, There is : for, said he, thou shalt be 
 delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon. 
 
 18 Moreover, Jeremiah said unto king Zedekiah, 
 What have I offended against thee, or against th) 
 servants, or against this people, that ye have put 
 me in prison? 
 
 19 Where are now your prophets which prophe- 
 sied unto you, saying, The king of Babylon shall 
 not come against you, nor against this land ? 
 
 20 Therefore hear now, I pray thee, O my lord the 
 king : f let 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 
 out of the bakers' street, "until all the bread in the 
 city were spent. Thus Jeremiah remained in the 
 court of the prison. 
 
 CHAP. XXXVIII. 
 
 1 Jeremiah, by afahe suggestion, is put into the dungeon of Malchia. 
 7 Ebed-melech gettelh him some enlargement. 
 
 THEN Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and Geda- 
 liah the son of Pashur, and " Jucal the son of 
 Shelemiah, and 4 Pashur the .son of Malchiah, c heard 
 the words that Jeremiah had spoken unto all the 
 people, saying, 
 
 2 Thus saith the Lord^ ''He that remaineth in this 
 city shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by 
 the pestilence : but he that goeth forth to the Chal- 
 deans shall live; for he shall have his life for a pre}', 
 and shall live. 
 
 3 Thus sai'th the Lord, e This city shall surely be 
 given into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, 
 which shall take it. 
 
 4 Therefore the princes said unto the king, »Vo 
 beseech thee, 'let this man be put to death ; for thus 
 he weakeneth the hands of the men of war that re- 
 main in this city, and the hands of all the people, in 
 spe*aking such words unto them : for this man ^eekeih 
 not the f welfare of this people, but the hurt. 
 
 5 Then Zedekiah the king said, Behold, he is in 
 your hand : for the king is not he that can do any 
 thing against you. 
 
 6 *Then took they Jeremiah, and cast b.im into th* 
 
Jeremiah's counsel to the king. 
 
 with cords, and 
 and Jeremiah re- 
 
 dungeon of Malehiah the son || of Hammeleeh, that 
 was in the court of the prison : and they let down 
 Jeremiah with cords. And in the dungeon there ivas 
 no water, but mire : so Jeremiah sunk in the mire. 
 
 7 TPNow when Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, one 
 of the eunuchs which was in the king's house, heard 
 that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon; the 
 king then sitting in the gate of Benjamin ; 
 
 8 Ebed-melech went forth out of the king's house, 
 and spake to the king, saying, 
 
 9 My lord the king, these men have done evil in 
 all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, 
 whom they have cast into the dungeon; and the is 
 like to die for 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 f with 
 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 cast clouts and old rotten rags, and 
 let. them down by cords into the dungeon to Jeremiah. 
 
 12 And Ebed-melech the Ethiopian said unto 
 Jeremiah, Put now these old cast clouts and rotten 
 nigs under thine arm-holes under the cords. And 
 Jeremiah did so. 
 
 13 'So they drew up Jeremiah 
 took him up out of the dungeon': 
 mained *'in the court of the prison. 
 
 14 IF Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took Jere- 
 miah the prophet unto him into the || third entry 
 that is in the house of the Lord: and the king said 
 uuto Jeremiah, I will ask thee a thing; hide nothing 
 from me. 
 
 15 Then Jeremiah said unto Zedekiah, If I de- 
 clare it unto thee, wilt thou not surely put me to 
 death? and if I give thee counsel, wilt thou not 
 hearken unto me? 
 
 16 So Zedekiah the king sware secretly unto Jere- 
 miah, saying, As the Lord liveth, 'that made us this 
 soul, I will not put thee to death, neither wall I give 
 thee into the hand of these men that seek thy life. 
 
 17 Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah, Thus saith 
 tne Lord, the God of hosts, the Grod of Israel; If thou 
 wilt assuredly '"go forth." unto the king of Babj'lon's 
 princes, then thy soul shall live, and this city shall not 
 be burnt with fire ; and thou shaltlive, and thine house ; 
 
 13 But if thou wilt not go forth to the king of Baby- 
 Ion's princes, then shall this city be given into the 
 hand of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with 
 lire, and "thou shalt not escape out of their hand. 
 
 11) And Zedekiah the king said unto Jeremiah, I 
 im afraid of the Jews that are fallen to the Chaldeans, 
 lest they deliver me into their hand, and they^mock me. 
 
 20 But Jeremiah said, They shall not deliver thee. 
 Obey, I beseech thee, the voice of the Lord, which 
 1 speak unto thee : so it shall be well unto thee, and 
 thy soul shall live. 
 
 21 But if thou refuse to go forth, this is the word 
 that the Lord hath shewed me : 
 
 22 And behold, all the women that are left in the 
 king uf Judah's house shall be brought forth to the 
 king of Babylon's princes, and those women shall 
 say. 1'Thy friends have set thee on, and have pre- 
 vailed against thee : thy feet are sunk in the mire, 
 and they are turned away back.

 24 If Then said Zedekiah unto Jeremiah, Let no 
 man know of these words, and thou shalt not die. 
 
 25 But if the princes hear that I have talked with 
 th^e, and they come unto thee, and say unto thee, 
 Declare unto us now what thou hast said unto the 
 king, hide it not from us, and we will not put thee 
 to death ; also what the king said unto thee : 
 
 26 Then thou shalt say unto them, 'J presented 
 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 unto Jeremiah, and 
 asked him : and he told them according to all these 
 words that the king had commanded. So f they left oil* 
 speaking with him; for the matter was not perceived. 
 
 28 So "Jeremiah abode in the court of the prison 
 until the day that Jerusalem was taken: and he was 
 there when Jerusalem was taken. 
 
 CHAP. XXXIX. 
 
 1 Jerusalem is taken. 7 Zedekiah is made blind, and sent to Babylon. 
 9 T he people carried away captive. 
 
 IN the "ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in 
 the tenth mouth, came Nebuchadrezzar 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 up. 
 
 3 * And all the princes of the king of Babylon came 
 in, and sat in the middle gate, even Nergal-sharezer, 
 Saingar-nebo, Sarse-chim, Bab-saris, Nergal-sharezer, 
 Rab-mag, Avith all the residue of the princes of the 
 king of Babylon. 
 
 4 II c And it came to pass, that when Zedekiah the 
 king of Judah saw them, and all the men of war, then 
 they fled, and went forth out of the city by night, 
 by the way of the king's garden, by the gate betwixt 
 the two walls : and he went out the way of the plain. 
 
 5 But the Chaldeans' arm}^ 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 e Biblah in the 
 land of Hamath, where he f gave judgment upon him. 
 
 6 Then the king of Babylon slew the sons of 
 Zedekiah in Biblah before his eyes : also the king 
 of Babylon slew all the nobles of Judah. 
 
 7 Moreover J 'he put out Zedekiah's eyes, and 
 bound him fwith chains, to carry him to Babylon. 
 
 8 II 5 And the Chaldeans burned the king's house, 
 and the houses of the people, with lire, and brake 
 down the walls of Jerusalem. 
 
 9 * Then Nebuzar-adan the || t captain of the guard 
 carried away captive into Babylon the remnant of 
 the people that remained in the city, and those thai 
 fell away, that fell to him, with the rest of the 
 people that remained. 
 
 10 But Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard 
 left of the poor of the people, which had nothing, 
 in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards aul 
 fields fat the same time. 
 
 11 II Now Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon gave 
 charge concerning Jeremiah fto Nebuzar-adan tho 
 captain of the guard, saying, 
 
 12 Take him, and f look well to him, and do him no 
 harm ; but do unto him even as he shall say unto thca 
 
 485 
 
Jeremiah set free. 
 
 13 So Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard 
 norit, and Nebushasban, Rab-saris, and Nergal- 
 sharezer, Rab-mag, and all the king of Babylon's 
 princes; 
 
 14 Even they sent, 'and took Jeremiah out of the 
 court of the prison, and committed him *unto Geda- 
 liah the son of 'Ahikam the son of Shaphan, that 
 he should carry him home : so he dwelt among the 
 people. 
 
 15 II Now the word of the Lord came unto Jere- 
 miah, 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 the Lord of hosts, the God of 
 Israel; Behold, "1 will bring my words upon this 
 city for evil, and not for good; and they shall be 
 accomplished in that day before thee. 
 
 17 But I will deliver thee in that day, saith the 
 Lord: 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 
 prey unto thee: p because thou hast put thy trust in 
 me, saith the Lord. 
 
 CHAP. XL. 
 
 1 Jeremiah, being set free by Nebuzar-adan, goeth to Gedaliah. 7 The 
 Jews repair to him. 15 Ishmael 's conspiracy. 
 
 THE word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, 
 "after that Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard 
 had let him go from Ramah, when he had taken him 
 being bound in || chains among all that were carried 
 away captive of Jerusalem and Judah, which were 
 carried away captive unto Babylon. . 
 
 2 And the captain of the guard took Jeremiah, 
 and 'said unto him, The Lord thy God hath pro- 
 nounced this evil upon this place. 
 
 3 Now the Lord hath brought it, and done ac- 
 cording as he hath said: "because ye have sinned 
 against the Lord, and have not obeyed his voice, 
 therefore this thing is come upon you. 
 
 4 And now, behold, 1 loose thee this day from the 
 chains which || were upon thine hand. d If it seem 
 good unto thee to come with me into Babylon, come ; 
 and fl will look well unto thee: but if it seem ill 
 unto thee to come with me into Babylon, forbear: 
 behold, 'all the land is before thee: whither it seem- 
 eth good and convenient for thee to go, thither go. 
 
 5 Now while he was not yet gone back, he said, 
 Go back also to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam 'the 
 son of Shaphan, •'whom the king of Babylon hath 
 made governor over the cities of Judah, and dwell 
 with him among the people : or go wheresoever it 
 seemeth convenient unto thee to go. So the captain 
 of the guard gave him victuals and a reward, and let 
 him go. 
 
 6 s Then went Jeremiah unto Gedaliah the son of 
 Ahikam to A Mizpah; and dwelt with him among the 
 people that were left in the land. 
 
 7 IP Now when all the captains of the forces which 
 were in the fields, even they and their men, heard 
 that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah the son 
 of Ahikam governor in the land, and had committed 
 unto him men, and women, and children, and of * the 
 poor of the land, of them that were not carried away 
 captive to Babylon; 
 
 8 Then they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, 'even 
 Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan and 
 Jonathan the sons of Kareah, and Seraiah the son

 9 And Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of 
 Shaphan sware unto them and to their men, saying, 
 Fear not to serve the Chaldeans: dwell in the land, 
 and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well 
 with you. 
 
 10 As for me, behold, I will dwell at Mizpah, f to 
 serve the Chaldeans, which will come unto us : but 
 ye, gather ye wine, and summer fruits, and oil, and 
 put them in your vessels, and dwell in your cities 
 that ye have taken. 
 
 11 Likewise when all the Jews that were in Moab, 
 and among the Ammonites, and in Edom, and that 
 were in all the countries, 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 out of all places 
 whither they were driven, and came to the land of 
 Judah, to Gedaliah, unto Mizpah, and gathered wine 
 and summer fruits very much. 
 
 13 H Moreover, Johanan the son of Kareah, and 
 all the captains of the forces that were in the fields, 
 came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, 
 
 14 And said unto him, Dost thou certainly know 
 that m Baalis the king of the Ammonites hath sent 
 Ishmael the son of Nethaniah fto slay thee? But 
 Gedaliah the son of Ahikam believed them not. 
 
 15 Then Johanan the son of Kareah spake to 
 Gedaliah in Mizpah secretly, saying, Let me go, 1 
 pray thee, and I w 7 ill slay Ishmael the son of Ne- 
 thaniah, and no man shall know it: wherefore should 
 he slay thee, that all the Jews which are gathered 
 unto thee should be scattered, and the remnant in 
 Judah perish? 
 
 16 But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam said unto Jo- 
 hanan the son of Kareah, Thou shalt not do this 
 thing: for thou speakest falsely of Ishmael. 
 
 CHAP. XLI. 
 
 Ishmael treacherously killelh Gedaliah and others. 
 
 NOW it came to pass in the seventh month, "that 
 Ishmael the son of Nethaniah the son of Elisha- 
 ma, of the seed royal, and the princes of the king, 
 even ten men with him, came unto Gedaliah the son 
 of Ahikam to Mizpah; and there they did eat bread 
 together in Mizpah. 
 
 2 Then rose Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and 
 the ten men that were with him, and 'smote Geda 
 liali the son of Ahikam 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 that were with 
 him, even with Gedaliah, at Mizpah, and the Chal 
 deans that 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 certain from Shechem, from 
 Shiloh, and from Samaria, even four-score men, c hav- 
 ing 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 the Lord. 
 
 6 And Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went forth 
 from Mizpah to meet them, f weeping all along as he 
 went: and it came to pass, as he met them, he said 
 unto them, Come to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam. 
 
 7 And it was so, when they came into the mils 
 
Ilia captives recovered. 
 
 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 that said 
 unto Ishmael, Slay us not: for we have treasures 
 in the field, of wheat, and of barley, and of oil, 
 and of honey. So he forbare, and slew them not 
 among their brethren. 
 
 U Now the pit wherein Ishmael had cast all the 
 dead bodies of the men, whom he had slain ||f because 
 of Gedaliah, was it •''which Asa the kino; had made 
 for fear of Baasha king- of Israel : and Ishmael the 
 son of Nethaniah filled it with them that ivere slain. 
 
 10 Then Ishmael carried away captive all the resi- 
 due of the people that were in Mizpah, *m?rc the king's 
 daughters, and all the people that remained in Miz- 
 pah, ''whom Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard 
 had committed to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam : and 
 Ishmael the son of Nethaniah carried them away 
 captive, and departed to go over to Hhe Ammonites. 
 
 11 II But when Johanan the son of Kareah, and 
 all * the captains of the forces that were with him, 
 heard of all the evil that Ishmael the son of Netha- 
 niah had done, 
 
 12 Then they took all the men, and went to fight 
 with Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and found him 
 b} r ' the great waters that are in Gibeon. 
 
 13 Now it came to pass, that when all the people 
 which ivere with Ishmael saw Johanan the son of 
 Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were 
 with him, then they were glad. 
 
 14 So all the people that Ishmael had carried 
 away captive from Mizpah cast about and returned, 
 and went unto Johanan the son of Kareah. 
 
 15 But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped 
 from Johanan with eight men, and went to the 
 Ammonites. 
 
 16 Then took Johanan the son of Kareah, and 
 all the captains of the forces that were with him, all 
 the remnant of the people whom he had recovered 
 from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, from Mizpah, 
 after that 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 
 again from Gibeon : 
 
 17 And they departed, and dwelt in the habita- 
 tion of '"Chimiiam, which is by Bethlehem, to go to 
 enter into Egypt, 
 
 18 Because of the Chaldeans : for they were 
 afraid of them, because Ishmael the son of Netha- 
 niah had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, "whom 
 th) king of Babylon- made governor in the land.

 even according to all things for the which the Lord 
 thy God shall send thee to us. 
 
 6 Whether it be good, or whether it be evil, we

 we obey the voice of the Lord our God. 
 
 7 If And it came to pass after ten days, that the 
 word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah; 
 
 8 Then called he Johanan the son of Kareah, and 
 all the captains of the forces which ivere with him, 
 and all the people from the least even to the greatest, 
 
 y And said unto them, Thus saith the Lord, the 
 God of Israel, unto whom ye sent me to present 
 your supplication before him ; 
 
 10 If ye will still abide in this land, then 'will I 
 build you, and not pull you down, and I will plant 
 you, and not pluck you up: for I * repent me of the 
 evil that I have done unto you. 
 
 11 Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of 
 whom ye are afraid; be not afraid of him, saith the 
 Lord : ' for I am with you, to save you, and to de- 
 liver you from his hand. 
 
 12 And m I will shew mercies unto you, that he 
 may have mercy upon you, and cause you to return 
 to your own land. 
 
 13 HBut if "ye say, We will not dwell in this 
 land, neither obey the voice of the Lord your God, 
 
 14 Saying, No ; but w T e will go into the land of 
 Egypt, where Ave shall see no war, nor hear the 
 sound of the trumpet, nor have hunger of bread : 
 and there will Ave dwell: 
 
 15 And noAv therefore hear the word of the Lord, 
 ye remnant of Judah ; Thus saith the Lord of hosts, 
 the God of Israel; If ye "Avholly set ; ' your faces to 
 enter into Egypt, and go to sojourn there; 
 
 16 Then it shall come to pass, that the sword, 
 ? Avhich ye feared, shall overtake you there in the 
 land of Egypt, and the famine, Avhereof ye Avere 
 afraid, | shall follow close after you there in Egypt; 
 and there ye shall die. 
 
 17 fSo shall it be Avith all the men that set their 
 faces to go into Egypt to sojourn there; they shall 
 die 'by the sword, by the famine, and by the pesti- 
 lence: and 'none of them shall remain or escape 
 from the evil that I will bring upon them. 
 
 18 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of 
 Israel; As mine anger and my fury hath been 
 'poured forth upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem ; 
 so shall my fury be poured forth upon you, when 
 ye shall enter into Egypt: and "}'e shall be an 
 execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a 
 reproach; and ye shall see this place no more. 
 
 iy IT The Lord hath said concerning you, O ye 
 remnant of Judah, 'go ye not into Egypt: knoAv 
 certainly that I have f admonished A r ou this day. 
 
 20 For || ye dissembled in your hearts, when ye 
 sent me unto the Lord your God, saying, y Pray for 
 us unto the Lord our God; and according unto all 
 that the Lord our God shall say, so declare unto 
 us, and Ave will do it.

 lence, in the place whither ye desire || to go and to 
 sojourn. 
 
 CHAP. XLIII. 
 
 Jeremiah prophesielh the conquest of Egypt by the Babylonians. 
 
 AND it came to pass, that when Jeremiah had 
 made an end of speaking unto all the people 
 all the words of the Lord their God, for which the 
 Lord their God had sent him to them, even all these 
 words, 
 
 2 "Then spake Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and 
 Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men, 
 saying unto Jeremiah, Thou speakest falsely: the 
 Lord 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, for to deliver us into the hand of the 
 Chaldeans, that they might put us to death, and 
 carry us away captives into Babylon. 
 
 4 So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the cap- 
 tains of the forces, and all the people, obeyed not the 
 voice of the Lord, to dwell 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, 
 that Avere returned from all nations, whither they 
 had been driven, to dwell in the land of Judah ; 
 
 6 Even men, and women, and children, c and the 
 king's daughters, ''and every person that Nebuzar- 
 adan the captain of the guard had left with Gedaliah 
 the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Jere- 
 miah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Neriah. 
 
 7 So they came into the land of Egypt: for they 
 )beyed not the voice of the Lord : thus came they 
 even to e Tahpanhes. 
 
 8 II Then came the word of the Lord unto Jere- 
 miah in Tahpanhes, saying, 
 
 9 Take great stones in thine hand, and hide them 
 in the clay in the brick-kiln, which is at the entry 
 of Pharaoh's house in Tahpanhes, in the sight of 
 the men of Judah; 
 
 10 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord 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 that I have 
 hid ; and he shall spread his royal pavilion over them. 
 
 11 s And when he cometh, he shall smite the land 
 of Egypt, and deliver '' such as are for death to death ; 
 and such as are for captivity to captivity ; and such 
 as are for the sword to the sword. 
 
 12 And I will kindle a fire in the houses of 'the 
 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 f images of || Beth-she- 
 mesh, that is in the land of Egypt; and the houses

 Judah 's desolation. 
 
 Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah; and 
 behold, this day they are d a desolation, and no man 
 dwelleth therein; 
 
 3 Because of their wickedness which they have 
 committed to provoke me to anger, in that the) 
 went e to burn incense, and to J serve other gods, whom 
 they knew not, neither they, ye, nor your fathers 
 
 4 Howbeit, g I sent unto you all my servants the 
 prophets, rising early and sending them, saying, Oh, 
 do not this abominable thing that I hate. 
 
 5 But they hearkened not, nor inclined their eai 
 to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense 
 unto other gods. 
 
 6 Wherefore A my fury and mine anger was poured 
 forth, and was kindled in the cities of Judah and in 
 the streets of Jerusalem; and they are wasted and 
 desolate, as at this day. 
 
 7 Therefore now thus saith the Lord, the God of 
 hosts, the God of Israel; Wherefore commit ye this 
 great evil ' against your souls, to cut oil" from you 
 man and woman, child and suckling, f out of Judah, 
 to leave you none to remain ; 
 
 8 In that ye * provoke me unto wrath with the 
 works of your hands, burning incense unto other 
 gods in the land of Egypt, whither ye be gone to 
 dwell, that ye might cut yourselves off, and that ye 
 might be 'a curse and a reproach among all the 
 nations of the earth? 
 
 9 Have ye forgotten the f wickedness of yout 
 fathers, and the wickedness of the kings of Judah, 
 and the wickedness of their Avives, and your own 
 wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives, 
 Avhich they have committed in the land of Judah, 
 and in the streets of Jerusalem? 
 
 10 They are not f humbled even unto this day, 
 neither have they "'feared, nor walked in my law, 
 nor in my statutes, that I set before you and before 
 your fathers. 
 
 11 H Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, the 
 God of Israel; Behold, "I will set my face against 
 you for evil, and to cut off all Judah. 
 
 12 And 1 will take the remnant of Judah, that 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 even be consumed 
 by the sword and by the famine: they shall die, 
 from the least even unto the greatest, by the sword 
 and by the famine : and p they shall be an execration, 
 and, an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach. 
 
 13 '' For I Avill punish them that dwell in the land 
 of Egypt, as 1 have punished Jerusalem, by the 
 sAvord, by the famine, and by the pestilence : 
 
 14 So that none of the remnant of Judah, which 
 are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, 
 shall escape or remain, that they should return into 
 the land of Judah, to the which they f have a desire 
 to return to dAvcll there : for 'none shall return but 
 such as shall escape. 
 
 15 HThen all the men Avhich knew that their 
 wives had burned incense unto other gods, and all 
 the women that stood by, a great multitude, even 
 all the people that dwelt in the land of Egypt, in 
 Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying, 
 
 16 As for the word that thou hast spoken unto 
 us in the name of the Lobd, 'we will not hearken 
 unto thee: 
 
 17 But we will certainly do 'whatsoever thing 
 goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense 
 
Obstinate idolaters threatened. 
 
 CHAP. XLV, XL VI. 
 
 Pharaohs overthrow. 
 
 unto the || "queen of heaven, and to pour out drink- 
 offerings unto her, as we have done, Ave, and our 
 fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of 
 Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem : for then had 
 we plenty of f victuals, and were well, and saw no 
 evil. 
 
 18 But since we left off to burn incense to the 
 queen of heaven, and to pour out drink-offerings 
 unto 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 unto her, 
 did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour 
 out drink-offerings unto her, without our || men? 
 
 20 HThen Jeremiah said unto all the people, to 
 the men, and to the women, and to all the people 
 which had given him that answer, saying, 
 
 21 The incense that ye burned in the cities of 
 Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, ye and your 
 fathers, your kings and your princes, and the peo- 
 ple of the land, did not the Lord remember them, 
 and came it not into his mind ? 
 
 22 So that the Lord could no longer bear, because 
 of the evil of your doings, and because of the abomi- 
 nations which ye have committed ; therefore is your 
 land y a desolation, and an astonishment, arid a curse, 
 without an inhabitant, z as at this clay. 
 
 23 Because ye have burned incense, and because 
 ye have sinned against the Lord, and have not obeyed 
 the voice of the Lord, nor walked in his law, nor 
 in his statutes, nor in his testimonies; "therefore 
 'his evil is happened unto you, as at this day. 
 
 24 Moreover, Jeremiah said unto all the people, 
 and to all the women, Hear the word of the Lord, 
 all Judah Hhat are in the land of Egypt: 
 
 25 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Is- 
 rael, saying; c Ye and your wives have both spoken 
 with your mouths, and fulfilled with your hand, say- 
 ing, We will surely perform our vows that we have 
 vowed to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and 
 to pour out drink-offerings unto her: ye will surely 
 accomplish your vows, and surely perform your 
 vows. 
 
 26 Therefore hear ye the word of the Lord, all 
 Judah that dwell in the land of Egypt; Behold, d l 
 have sworn by my great name, saith the Lord, that 
 r my name shall no more be named in the mouth of 
 any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, 
 The Lord God liveth. 
 
 27 S Behold, I will watch over them for evil, and 
 not for good : and all the men of Judah that are in 
 the land of Egypt s shall be consumed by the sword 
 and by the famine, until there be an end of them. 
 
 28 Yet ''a small number that escape the sword, 
 shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land 
 of Judah ; and all the remnant of Judah, that are 
 gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall 
 know whose 'words shall stand, f mme > or theirs. 
 
 29 II And this shall be a sign unto you, saith the 
 Lord, 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 the Lord; Behold, 'I will give 
 Pharaoh-hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his 
 enemies, and into the hand of them that seek his 
 life; as I gave '"Zedekiah king of Judah into the 
 hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, his en- 
 emy, and that sought his life.

 THE word of the Lord 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 Eu- 
 phrates in Carchemish, which Nebuchadrezzar kin^ 
 of Babylon smote in the fourth year of Jehoiakim 
 the son of Jdsiah king of Judah. 
 
 3 c Order ye the buckler and shield, and draw 
 near to battle. 
 
 Harness the horses; and get up, ye horsemen, 
 stand forth with your helmets; furbish the 
 and put on the brigandines. 
 
 have I seen them dismayed and 
 turned away back? and their mighty ones are 
 t beaten down, and are ffled apace, and look not 
 back : for ''fear was round about, saith the Lord. 
 
 6 Let not the swift flee away, nor the mighty 
 man escape: they shall 'stumble, and fall toward 
 the north by the river Euphrates. 
 
 7 Who is this that cometh up •'"as a flood, whose 
 waters are moved as the rivers? 
 
 8 Egypt riseth up like a flood, and his waters are 
 moved like the rivers; and he saith, I will go up, 
 and will cover the earth; I Avill destroy the city 
 and the inhabitants thereof. 
 
 9 Come up, ye horses; and rage, ye chariots; 
 and let the mighty men come forth : f the Ethiopians 
 and fthe Libyans, that handle the shield; and the 
 Lydians, *that handle and bend the bow. 
 
 10 For this is ''the day of the Lord God of hosts, 
 a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his 
 adversaries: and 'the sword shall devour, and it 
 shall be satiate and made drunk with their

 15 Why are thy valiant men swept away ? they 
 stood not, because the Lord did drive them. 
 
 16 He finade many to fall, yea, r 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 oppressing sword. 
 
 17 They did cry there, Pharaoh king of Egypt is 
 but a noise ; he hath passed the time appointed. 
 
 18 As I live, saith the King, nvhose name is The 
 Lord of hosts, Surely as Tabor is among the moun- 
 tains, and as Carmel by the sea, so shall he come. 
 
 19 'thou daughter dwelling in Egypt, f furnish 
 thyself "to go into captivity: for Noph shall be 
 waste and desolate without an inhabitant. 
 
 20 Egypt is like a very fair ■* heifer, but destruc- 
 tion cometh ; it coineth "out of the north. 
 
 21 Also her hired men are in the midst of her 
 like f fatted bullocks; for they also are turned back, 
 and are fled away together : they did not stand, 
 because z the day of their calamity was come upon 
 them, and the time of their visitation. 
 
 22 "The voice thereof shall go like a serpent; for 
 they shall march with an army, and come against 
 her with axes, as hewers of wood. 
 
 23 They shall 6 cut down her forest,saith the Lord, 
 though it cannot be searched ; because they are more 
 than r the grasshoppers, and are innumerable. 
 
 24 The daughter of Egypt shall be confounded ; 
 yhe shall be delivered into the hand of rf the people 
 ef the north. 
 
 25 The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saith; 
 Behold, I will punish the || f multitude of e No, and 
 Pharaoh, and Egypt, 'with their gods, and their 
 kings; even Pharaoh, and all them that trust in him: 
 
 26 *And I will deliver them into the hand of those 
 that seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebu- 
 chadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his 
 servants : and " afterward it shall be inhabited, as in 
 the days of old, saith the Lord. 
 
 27 IT 'But fear not thou, my servant Jacob, and 
 be not dismayed, Israel : for behold, I will save 
 thee from afar off, 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 the 
 Lord : 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 II not leave thee wholly unpunished.

 The judgment of Moab for their contempt of God. 
 
 AGAINST "Moab thus saith the Lord of hosts, 
 the God of Israel; Wo unto 6 Nebo! for it is 
 spoiled: c Kiriathaim is confounded and taken: |] Mis- 
 gab is confounded and dismayed. 
 
 2 d There shall be no more praise of Moab: in 'Hesh-

 us cut it off from being a nation. Also thou shalt ||be 
 cut down, O Madmen ; the sword shall f pursue thee 
 
 3 J'A voice of crying shall be from Horonaim. 
 spoiling and great destruction. 
 
 4 Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused 
 a cry to be heard. 
 
 5 8 For in the going up of Luhith f continual weep- 
 ing shall go up ; for in the going down of Horonaim 
 the enemies have heard a cry of destruction. 
 
 6 ''Flee, save your lives, and be like || the 'heath 
 in the wilderness. 
 
 7 irFor because thou hast trusted in thy works 
 and in thy treasures, thou shalt also be taken : and 
 k Chemosh shall go forth into captivity with his 'priests 
 and his princes together. 
 
 8 And "' the spoiler shall come upon every city, and 
 no city shall escape : the valley also shall perish, and 
 the plain shall be destroyed, as the Lord hath spoken. 
 
 9 "Give wings unto Moab, that it may flee and 
 get away: for the cities thereof shall be desolate, 
 without any to dwell therein. 
 
 10 "Cursed be he that doeth the work of the Lore 
 || deceitfully, and cursed be he that keepeth back his 
 sword from blood. 
 
 11 IT 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 f remained in him, 
 and his scent is not changed. 
 
 12 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith tho 
 Lord, that I will send unto him wanderers that shall 
 cause him to wander, and shall empty his vessels, 
 and break their bottles. 
 
 13 And Moab shall be ashamed of 'Chemosh, as 
 the house of Israel r was ashamed of 'Beth-el their

 20 Moab is confounded; for it is broken down: 
 •/howl and cry; tell ye it in 'Arnon, that Moab is 
 spoiled, 
 
 21 And judgment is come upon *the plain country; 
 upon Ilolon, and upon Jahazah, and uponMephaath,

 25 *The horn of Moab is cut off, and his 'arm is 
 broken, saith the Lord. 
 
 26 IT m Make ye him drunken; for he magnified 
 himself against the Lord: Moab also shall wallow 
 in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision. 
 
 27 For "was not Israel a derision unto thee? "was 
 he found among thieves? for since thou spakest of 
 him, thou || skippedst for joy. 
 
 28 ye that dwell in Moab, leave the cities, and 
 "dwell in the rock, and belike ? the dove that maketh 
 her nest in the sides of the hole's mouth. 
 
 29 We have heard the r pride of Moab, (he is ex- 
 ceeding proud,) his loftiness, and his arrogancy, and 
 his pride, and the haughtiness of his heart.' 
 
 30 I know his wrath, saith the Lord ; but it shall 
 not be so; '|| his lies shall not so effect it. 
 
 31 Therefore 'will I howl for Moab, and I will 
 cry out for all Moab ; mine heart shall mourn for the 
 men of Kir-heres. 
 
 32 " vine of Sibmah, I will weep for thee with 
 the weeping of Jazer : thy plants are 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 x joy and gladness is taken from the plentiful 
 field, and from the land of Moab ; and I have caused 
 wine to fail from the wine-presses: none shall tread 
 with shouting; their shouting shall be no shouting. 
 
 34 ''From the cry of Heshbon even unto Elealeh, 
 and even unto Jahaz, have they uttered their voice, 
 'from Zoar even unto Horonaim, as an heifer of three 
 years old : for the waters also of Nimrim shall be 
 t desolate. 
 
 35 Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, saith 
 the Lord, "him that offereth in the high places, and 
 him that burneth incense to his gods. 
 
 36 Therefore *mine heart shall sound for Moab 
 like pipes, and mine heart shall sound like pipes for 
 the men of Kir-heres: because c the riches that he 
 hath gotten are perished. 
 
 37 For d every head shall be bald, and eveiy beard a isa. 15. 2, 
 t clipped : upon all the hands shall be cuttings, and ch. 
 
 upon the loins sackcloth. 
 
 38 There shall be lamentation generally upon all 
 the house-tops of Moab, and in the streets thereof: 
 for I have broken Moab like f 2i vessel wherein is 
 no pleasure, saith the Lord. 
 
 39 They shall howl, saying, How is it broken 
 down ! how hath Moab turned the f back with shame ! 
 so shall Moab be a derision and a dismaying to all 
 them about him.

 prised, and *the mighty men's hearts in Moab at that

 43 '"Fear, and the pit, and the snare, shall be upon 
 thee, inhabitant of Moab, saith the Lord. 
 
 44 He that fleeth from the fear, 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, the year of their visitation, saith the Lord. 
 
 45 They that fled stood under the shadow of 
 Heshbon because of the force : but "a fire shall come 
 forth out of Heshbon, and a flame from the midst 
 of Sihon, and ''shall devour the corner of Moab, and 
 the crown of the head of the f tumultuous ones. 
 
 46 «Wo be unto thee, Moab! the people of 
 Chemosh perisheth : for thy sons are taken f cap- 
 tives, and thy daughters captives.

 r in the latter days, saith the Lord. Thus far is the 
 judgment of Moab. 
 
 CHAP. XLIX. 
 
 1 The judgment of tke Ammonites. 6 Their restoration. 
 
 || CONCERNING "the Ammonites, thus saith the 
 V_7 Lord; Hath Israel no sons? Hath he no heir? 
 why then doth || their king inherit 6 Gad, and his peo- 
 ple dwell in his cities? 
 
 2 Therefore behold, the days come, saith the Lord, 
 that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard in 
 c Rabbah of the Ammonites; and it shall be a deso- 
 late heap, and her daughters shall be burned with 
 fire: then shall Israel be heir unto them that were 
 his heirs, saith the Lord. 
 
 3 Howl, Heshbon, for Ai is spoiled : cry, ye 
 daughters of Rabbah, d gird you with sackcloth; la- 
 ment, and run to and fro by the hedges; for || their 
 king shall go into captivity, and his 'priests and his 
 princes together. 
 
 4 Wherefore gloriest thou in the valleys, || thy flow 
 ing valley, f backsliding daughter? that trusted in 
 her treasures, g saying, Who shall come unto me? 
 
 5 Behold, I will bring a fear upon thee, saith the 
 Lord God of hosts, from all those that be about thee ; 
 and ye shall be driven out every man right forth; 
 and none shall gather up him that wandereth. 
 
 6 And ''afterward I will bring again the captivity 
 of the children of Ammon, saith the Lord. 
 
 7 IF' Concerning Edom, thus saith the Lord of 
 hosts: k Is wisdom no more in Teman? 'is counsel 
 perished from the prudent? is their wisdom vanished ? 
 
 8 "'Flee ye, || turn back, dwell deep, inhabitants 
 of "Dedan; for I will bring the calamity of Esau 
 upon him, the time that I will visit him. 
 
 9 If "grape-gatherers come to thee, would they 
 not leaves-owe gleaning-grapes? if thieves by night, 
 they will destroy f till they have enough. 
 
 10 y 'But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered 
 his secret places, and he shall not be able to hide 
 himself: his seed is spoiled, and his brethren, and 
 his neighbours, and ' y he is not. 
 
 11 Leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve 
 them alive; and let thy widows trust in me.

 drunken; and art thou he that shall altogether go 
 unpunished? thou shalt not go unpunished, but thou 
 shalt surely drink of it. 
 
 13 For *1 have sworn by myself, saith the Lord, 
 that'Bozrah shall become a desolation, a reproach, 
 a waste, and a curse ; and all the cities thereof shall 
 be perpetual wastes. 
 
 14 I have heard a "rumour from the Lord, and 
 an ambassador is sent unto the heathen, saying, 
 Gather ye together, and come against her, and rise 
 up to the battle. 
 
 15 For lo, I will make thee small among the 
 heathen, and despised among men. 
 
 16 Thy terribleness hath deceived thee, and the 
 pride of thine heart, thou that dwellest in the clefts 
 of the rock that holdest the height of the hill: x though 
 thou shouldest make thy y nest as high as the eagle, Z I 
 will bring thee down from thence, saith the Lord. 
 
 17 Also Edom shall be a desolation: "every one 
 that goeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss 
 at all the plagues thereof. 
 
 18 *As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomor- 
 rah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the Lord, 
 no man shall abide 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 suddenly make him run away 
 from her : and who is a chosen man, that I may 
 appoint over her? for e who is like me? and who 
 will || appoint me the time ? and ^ who is that shep- 
 herd that will stand before me ? 
 
 20 * Therefore hear the counsel of the Lord, that 
 he hath taken against Edom; and his purposes, that 
 he hath purposed against the inhabitants of Teman : 
 Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out : 
 surely he shall make their habitations desolate with 
 them. 
 
 21 A The earth is moved at the noise of their fall, 
 at the cry the noise thereof was heard in the f Bed sea. 
 
 22 Behold, 'he shall come up and fly as the 
 eagle, and spread his wings over Bozrah: and at 
 that day shall the heart of the mighty men of 
 Edom be as the heart of a woman in her pangs. 
 
 23 If* Concerning Damascus. Hamath is con- 
 founded, and Arpad : for they have heard evil 
 tidings: they are f faint-hearted; ' there is sorrow 
 || on the sea ; it cannot be quiet. 
 
 24 Damascus is waxed feeble, and turneth herself 
 to tlee, and fear hath seized on her: '"anguish and 
 sorrows have taken her, as a woman in travail. 
 
 25 How is "the city of praise not left, the city 
 of my joy! 
 
 26 "Therefore her young men shall fall in her 
 streets, and all the men of war shall be cut off in 
 that day, saith the Lord of hosts. 
 
 27 And I will kindle a 'fire in the wall of Da- 
 mascus, and it shall consume the palaces of Ben- 
 hadad. 
 
 28 IT 7 Concerning Kedar, and concerning the king- 
 doms of Hazor, which Nebuchadrezzar king of 
 Babylon shall smite, thus saith the Lord; Arise ye, 
 go up to Kedar, and spoil 'the men of the east. 
 
 29 Their s 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 unto them, 'Fear is on every side.

 inhabitants of Hazor, saith the Lord; for Nebuchad- 
 rezzar king of Babylon hath taken counsel against 
 yon, and hath conceived a purpose against you. 
 
 31 Arise, get you up unto * the || wealthy nation, 
 that dwelleth without care, saith the Lord, which 
 have neither gates nor bars, which y dwell alone. 
 
 32 And tbeir camels shall be a booty, and the 
 multitude of their cattle a spoil: and I will s scatter 
 into all winds "them that are fin the utmost corners; 
 and I will bring their calamity from all sides there- 
 of, saith the Lord. 
 
 33 And Hazor A shall be a dwelling for dragons, 
 and a desolation for ever: "there shall no man abide 
 there, nor any son of man dwell in it.

 the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying, 
 
 35 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Behold, I will 
 break e the bow of Elam, the chief of their might. 
 
 36 And upon Elam will I bring the four winds 
 from the four quarters of heaven, and J will scatter 
 them toward all those winds ; and there shall be no 
 nation whither the outcasts of Elam shall not come. 
 
 37 For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before 
 their enemies, and before them that seek their life : 
 and I will bring evil upon them, even my fierce an- 
 ger, saith the Lord; *and I will send the s^ord 
 after them, till I have consumed them : 
 
 38 And I will A set my throne in Elam, and wi'l 
 destroy from thence the king and the princes, saith 
 the Lord. 
 
 39 HBut it shall come to pass 'in the latter days, 
 that I will bring again the captivity of Elam, saith 
 the Lord. 
 
 CHAP. L. 
 
 The judgment of Babylon, and the redemption of Israel. 
 
 THE word that the Lord spake "against Babylon 
 and against the land of the Chaldeans f by Je- 
 remiah the prophet. 
 
 2 Declare ye among the nations, and publish, 
 and f set up a standard ; publish, and conceal not : 
 say, Babylon is taken, 6 Bel is confounded, Mero- 
 dach is broken in pieces; c her idols are confounded, 
 her images are broken in pieces. 
 
 3 ''For out of the north there cometh up e a na- 
 tion against her, which shall make her land desolate, 
 and none shall dwell therein: they shall remove, 
 they shall depart, both man and beast. 
 
 4 II In those days, and in that time, saith the 
 Lord, the children of Israel shall come, ^thcy and 
 the children of Judah together, Agoing and weep- 
 ing: they shall go, A and seek the Lord their God. 
 
 5 They shall ask the way to Zion with their 
 faces thitherward, saying, Come and let us join our- 
 selves to the Lord in 'a perpetual covenant that 
 shall not be forgotten. 
 
 6 My people hath been *lost sheep: their shep- 
 herds have caused them to go astray, they have 
 turned them away on 'the mountains: they have 
 gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten 
 their f resting-place. 
 
 7 All that found them have "devoured them: and 
 " their adversaries said, "We offend not, because they 
 have sinned against the Lord, 'the habitation ol 
 justice, even the Lord, 'the hope of their fathers. 
 
 8 r Remove out of the midst of Babylon, and go 
 forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as 
 the he-goats before the flock*. 
 
The, judijmcnt of Babylon. 
 
 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 as of a mighty || expert man; 
 "none shall return in vain. 
 
 10 And Chaldea shall be a spoil: t- all that spoil 
 her shall be satisfied, saith the Lord. 
 
 1 1 y Because ye were glad, because ye rejoiced, 
 ye destroyers of mine heritage, because ye are grown 
 ■\ fat *as the heifer at grass, and || bellow as bulls; 
 
 12 Your mother shall be sore confounded; she 
 that bare you shall be ashamed : behold, the hinder- 
 most of the nations shall be a wilderness, a dry land, 
 and a desert. 
 
 13 Because of the wrath of the Lord it shall not 
 be inhabited, "but it shall be wholly desolate : A every 
 one that goeth by Babylon shall be astonished, and 
 hiss at all her plagues. 
 
 14 c Put yourselves in array against Babylon round 
 about : all ye ''that bend the bow, shoot at her, spare 
 no arrows : for she hath sinned against the Lord. 
 
 to Shout against her round about : she hath 'given 
 her hand: her foundations are fallen, f her walls are 
 thrown down: for A 'it is the vengeance of the Lord: 
 lake vengeance upon her; A as she hath done, do 
 unto her. 
 
 16 Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him that 
 handleth the || sickle in the time of harvest; for fear 
 of the oppressing sword 'they shall turn every one 
 to his people, and they shall flee every one to his 
 own land. 
 
 17 H Israel is fc a scattered sheep; 'the lions have 
 driven him away: first m the king of Assyria hath 
 devoured him; and last this "Nebuchadrezzar king 
 of Babylon hath broken his bones. 
 
 18 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, the 
 
 CHAR L. 
 
 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 habitation, 
 and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan, and his 
 soul shall be satisfied upon mount Ephraim and 
 Gilead. 
 
 20 In those days, and in that time, saith the Lord, 
 p the iniquity of Israel shall V»e sought for, and there 
 shall be none; and the sins of Judah, and they shall 
 not be found : for I will pardon them * whom I reserve. 
 
 21 If Go up against the land || of Merathaim, even 
 against it and against the inhabitants of r || Pekod : 
 waste and utterly destroy after them, saith the Lord, 
 and do * according to all that I have commmanded 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 deso- 
 lation 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 the Lord. 
 
 25 The Lord hath opened his armoury, and hath 
 brought forth Hhe weapons of his indignation: for 
 this is the work of the Lord God of hosts in the 
 land of the Chaldeans. 
 
 2b' Come against her tfrom the utmost border, 
 open her storehouses: || cast her up as heaps*, and 
 destroy her utterly : let nothing of her be left.

 28 The voice of them that flee and escape out of the 
 land of Babylon, Ho declare in Zion the vengeance 
 of the Lord our God, the vengeance of his temple. 
 
 29 Call together the archers against Babylon : 'all 
 e that bend the bow, camp against it round about; 
 
 et none thereof escape: ^recompense her according 
 to her work; according to all that she hath done, 
 do unto her: e for she hath been proud against the 
 Lord, 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 the Lord. 
 
 31 Behold, I am against thee, O thou f most proud, 
 saith the Lord God of hosts: for Hhy day is come, 
 the time that I will visit thee. 
 
 32 And f the most proud shall stumble and fall, and 
 none shall raise him up,: and *I will kindle a fire in 
 his cities, and it shall devour all round about him. 
 
 33 II Thus saith the Lord of hosts; The children 
 of Israel and the children of Judah to ere oppressed 
 together : and all that took them captives held them 
 fast; they refused to let them go. 
 
 34 'Their Redeemer is strong; Hhe Lord of hosts 
 is his name: he shall thoroughly plead their cause, 
 that he may give rest to the land, and disquiet the 
 inhabitants of Babylon. 
 
 35 HA sword is upon the Chaldeans, saith the 
 Lord, and upon the inhabitants of Babylon, and 
 'upon her princes, and upon m her wise men. 
 
 36 A sword is "upon the lit liars; and they shall 
 dote: a sword is upon her mighty men; and they 
 shall be dismayed. 
 
 37 A sword is upon their horses, and upon their 
 chariots, and upon all "the mingled people that are 
 in the midst of her; and Hhey shall become as wo- 
 men: a sword is upon her treasures; and they shall 
 be robbed. 
 
 38 7 A drought is upon her waters; and they

 39 'Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with

 the owls shall dwell therein: 'and it shall be no 
 more inhabited for ever; neither shall it be dwelt in 
 from generation to generation. 
 
 40 "As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and 
 the neighbour cities thereof, saith the Lord; so shall 
 no man abide there, neither shall any son of man 
 dwell therein. 
 
 41 x Behold a people shall come from the north, 
 and a great nation, and many kings shall be raised 
 up from the coasts of the earth. 
 
 42 y They shall hold the bow and the lance: Hhey

 shall roar like the sea, and they shall ride upon

 tle, against thee, O daughter of Babylon. 
 
 43 The king of Babylon hath heard the report 
 of them, and his hands waxed feeble: languish took 
 hold of him, aw? pangs as of a Avoman in travail. 
 
 44 "Behold he shall come up like a lion from the 
 swelling of Jordan unto the habitation of the strong:

 T?ie judgment of God against Babylon in revenge of Israel. 
 
 THUS saith the Lord; Behold, I will raise up 
 against Babylon, and against them that dwell 
 in the + midst of them that rise up against me, "a 
 destroying wind; 
 
 2 And will send unto Babylon, * fanners that shall 
 fan her, and shall empty her land: f for in the day 
 of trouble they shall be against her round about. 
 
 3 Against him that bendeth ''let the archer bend 
 his bow, and against him that lifteth himself up in 
 his brigandine: and spare ye not her 
 'destroy ye utterly all her host. 
 
 4 Thus the slain shall fall in the land of the Chal- 
 deans/ and they that are thrust through in her streets. 
 
 5 For Israel hath not been forsaken, nor Judah of 
 his God, of the Lord of hosts; though their land was 
 filled with sin against the Holy One of Israel. 
 
 6 *Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver 
 every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; 
 f >r A this cs the time of the Lord's vengeance; 'he 
 will render unto her a recompense. 
 
 7 * Babylon hath been a golden cup in the Lord's 
 hand, that made all the earth drunken: 'the nations 
 have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations 
 "are mad. 
 
 8 Babylon 
 •howl for her; 
 may be healed 
 
 9 We would have healed Babylon, but she is not 
 healed: forsake her, and ? let us go every one into 
 his own country: 'for her judgment reacheth unto 
 heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies. 
 
 10 The Lord hath 'brought forth our righteous- 
 ness : come, and let us 'declare in Zion the work of 
 the Lord our God. 
 
 11 "Make f bright the arrows; gather the shields: 
 ' the Lord hath raised up the spirit of the kings of 
 the Medes : y for his device is against Babylon, to 
 destroy it; because it is *the vengeance of the Lord, 
 the vengeance of his temple. 
 
 12 ° Set up the standard upon the walls of Baby- 
 lon, make the watch strong, set up the watchmen, 
 prepare the f ambushes: for the Lord hath both 
 devised and done that which he spake against the 
 inhabitants of Babylon. 
 
 13 *0 thou that dwellest upon many waters, 
 abundant in treasures, thine end is come, and the 
 measure of thy covetousness. 
 
 14 c The Lord of hosts hath sworn f b}' himself, say- 
 ing, Surely I will fill thee with men, ri as with cater- 
 pillars; and they shall flift 'up a shout against thee. 
 
 15 r He hath made the earth by his power, he hath 
 established the world by his wisdom, and *hath 
 stretched out the heaven by his understanding.

 23 I will also break in pieces with thee the shep- 
 herd and his flock; and with thee will I freak in

 with thee will I break in pieces captains and rulers. 
 
 24 'And I will render unto Babylon and to all the 
 inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have 
 done in Zion in your sight, saith the Lord. 
 
 25 Behold, I am against thee, r O destroying moun- 
 tain , saith the Lord, which destroyest all the earth : 
 and I will stretch out my hand upon 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 f desolate for ever, saith the Lord. 
 
 27 " Set ye up a standard in the land, blow the trum- 
 pet among the nations, * prepare the nations against 
 ler, call together against her y the kingdoms of Ararat, 
 Vlinni, and Ashchenaz ; appoint a. captain against her; 
 cause the horses to come up as the rough caterpillars. 
 
 28 Prepare against her the nations with s the kings 
 of the Medes, the captains thereof, and all the rulers 
 thereof, and all the land of his dominion. 
 
 29 And the land shall tremble and sorrow; for 
 every purpose of the Lord shall be performed against 
 Babylon, "to make the land of Babylon a desolation 
 without an inhabitant. 
 
 30 The mighty men of Babylon have forborne to 
 fight, they have remained in their holds: their might 
 hath failed; *they became as women: they have 
 burned her dwelling-places; '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 stopped, and the 
 reeds they have burned with fire, and the men of 
 war are affrighted. 
 
 33 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of 
 Israel; The daughter of Babylon is -Hike a thresh 
 ing-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 dragon, he hath filled his belly with my delicates, 
 he hath cast me out. 
 
 35 | The violence done to me and to my || flesh bt 
 
Babylon's vain confidence. 
 
 upon Babylon, shall the f inhabitant of Zion say: 
 and, My blood upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, 
 shall Jerusalem say. 
 
 3G Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, *I will 
 plead thy cause, and take vengeance for thee; 'and 
 1 will dry up her sea, and make her springs dry. 
 
 37 '"And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwelling- 
 place for dragons, "an astonishment, and an hissing, 
 without an inhabitant. 
 
 38 They shall roar together like lions: they shall 
 || yell as lions' whelps. 
 
 39 In their heat Twill make their feasts, and "I will 
 make them drunken, that they may rejoice, and sleep 
 a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the Lord. 
 
 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 surprised ! how is Babylon become 
 no astonishment among the nations ! 
 
 4'i r The sea is come up upon Babylon: she is 
 covered with the multitude of the waves thereof. 
 
 43 'Her cities are a desolation, a dry land, and a 
 wilderness, 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 swal- 
 lowed up : and the nations shall not flow together any 
 more unto him: yea, "the wall of Babylon shall fall. 
 
 45 x My people, go ye out of the midst of her, 
 and deliver ye every man his soul from the fierce 
 anger of the Lord. 
 
 46 And || lest your heart faint, and ye fear v for the 
 rumour that 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 Z I will 
 f do judgment upon 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 that 
 is therein, shall sing for Babylon: 4 for the spoilers 
 shall come unto her from the north, saith the Lord. 
 
 49 || As Bafoylon hath caused the slain of Israel to 
 fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all || the earth. 
 
 50 c Ye that have escaped the sword, go away, 
 stand not still: remember the Lord afar on, and let 
 Jerusalem come into your mind. 
 
 51 d We are confounded, because we have- heard 
 reproach : shame hath covered ourfaces; for strangers 
 are come into the sanctuaries of the Lord's house. 
 
 52 Wherefore behold, the days come, saith the 
 LoRD, f that I will do judgment upon 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 unto her, 
 saith the Lord. 
 
 54 s A sound of a cry cometh from Babylon, and 
 great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans: 
 
 55 Because the Lord hath spoiled Babylon, and 
 destroyed out of her the great voice : when her waves. 
 do roar like great waters, a noise of their voice is 
 uttered : 
 
 56 Because the spoiler is come upon her, even 
 upon Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, every 
 one of their bows is broken: ''for the Lord God of 
 recompenses shall surely requite.

 60 So Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that

 are written against Babylon. 
 
 61 And Jeremiah said to Seriah, When thou 
 comest to Babylon, and shalt see, and shalt read all 
 these words; 
 
 62 Then shalt thou say, O Lord, thou hast spoken 
 against this place, to cut it otf, that "none shall 
 remain in it, neither man nor beast, but that it shall 
 be f desolate 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, Thus shall Babylon sink, 
 and shall not rise from the evil that I will bring 
 upon her: ''and they shall be weary. Thus far are 
 the words of Jeremiah. 
 
 CHAP. LIT 
 
 1 Zedekiah rebelleth. 4 Jerusalem is besieged and taken. 
 
 ZEDEKIAH was "one and twenty years old when 
 he f began to reign, and he reigned eleven years 
 in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hamutal 
 the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah. 
 
 2 And he did that which was evil in the eyes of 
 the Lord, according to all that Jehoiakim had done. 
 
 3 For through the anger of the Lord it came to 
 pass in Jerusalem and Judah, till he had cast them 
 out from his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against 
 the king of Babylon. 
 
 4 HAnd it came to pass in the * ninth year of his 
 reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the 
 month, that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came, 
 he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and pitched 
 against it, and built forts against it round about. 
 
 5 So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year 
 of king Zedekiah. 
 
 6 And in the fourth month, in the ninth day of 
 the month, the famine was sore in the city, so that 
 there was no bread for the people of the land. 
 
 7 Then the city was broken up, and all the men 
 of war fled, and went forth out of the city by night 
 by the way of the gate between the two walls, which 
 was by the king's garden; (now the Chaldeans weir 
 by the city round about:) and they went by the way 
 of the plain. 
 
 8 HBut the army of the Chaldeans pursued after 
 the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of 
 Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him. 
 
 9 c Then they took the king, and carried him up 
 unto the king of Babylon to Riblah, in the land of 
 Hamath; where he gave judgment 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 fput out the eyes of Zedekiah; and 
 the king of Babylon bound him in || chains, and 
 carried him to Babylon, and put him in f prison till 
 the day of his death. 
 
 12 1f e Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of 
 the month, •''which was the nineteenth year of Ne- 
 buchadrezzar king of Babylon, * came Nebuzar-adan, 
 II f captain of the guard, which f served the king of 
 Babylon, into Jerusalem, 
 
 13 And burned the house of the Lord, and the 
 king's house ; and all the houses of Jerusalem, and 
 all the houses of the great men, burned he with fire : 
 
 14 And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were 
 with the captain of the guard, brake down all the 
 walls of Jerusalem round about. 
 
 15 A Then Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard 
 carried away captive certain of the poor of the peo- 
 ple, and the residue of the people that remained in 
 the city, and those that fell away, that fell to the 
 king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude. 
 
 16 But Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard 
 left certain of the poor of the land for vine-dressers 
 and for husbandmen. 
 
 17 Also the * pillars of brass that ivere in the 
 house of the Lord, and the bases, and the brazen 
 sea that tvas in the house of the Lord, the Chaldeans 
 brake, and carried 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 wherewith they ministered, took 
 they away. 
 
 19 And the basins, and the || fire-pans, and the 
 bowls, and the caldrons, and the candlesticks, and 
 the spoons, and the cups; that which tvas 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 
 bulls that were under the bases, which king Solomon 
 had made in the house of the Lord : '" f the brass of 
 all these vessels was without weight. 
 
 21 And concerning the "pillars, the height of one 
 pillar was eighteen cubits; and a -f fillet of twelve 
 cubits did compass it; and the thickness thereof 
 was four fingers : it was hollow. 
 
 22 And a chapiter of brass was upon it ; and the 
 height of one chapiter was five cubits, with net- 
 work and pomegranates upon the chapiters round

 23 And there were ninety and six pomegranatos

 24 If And ''the captain of the guard took Seraiah 
 the chief priest, 'and Zephaniah tlie second priest, 
 and the three keepers of the fdoor:

 26 So Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard 
 took them, and brought them to the king of Baby- 
 lon to Hi blah. 
 
 27 And the king of Babylon smote them, and put 
 them to death in Riblah in the land of Hamath. Thus 
 Judah was carried away captive out of his own land. 
 
 28 r This is the people whom Nebuchadrezzar 
 carried away captive: in the * seventh year 'three 
 thousand Jews and three and twenty: 
 
 29 "In the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar he 
 carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred 
 thirty and two f persons : 
 
 30 In the three and twentieth year of Nebu- 
 chadrezzar, Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard 
 carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred 
 forty and five persons: all the persons were foui 
 thousand and six hundred. 
 
 31 H^And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth 
 year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in 
 the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth day of the 
 month, that Evil-merodach king of Babylon in the 
 first year of his reign ^lifted up the head of Jehoiachin 
 king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison,

 6 And from the daughter of Zion all her beauty 
 is departed : her princes are become like harts that

 7 Jerusalem remembered in the days of her afflio.

 that she had in the days of old, when her people

 12 H || Is it nothing to you, all ye that f pass by ? 
 behold, and see "if there be any sorrow like unto my 
 Korrow, which is done unto me, wherewith the Lord 
 bath 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

 made me desolate and faint all the day. 
 
 14 y The yoke of my transgressions is bound by 
 his hand: they are wreathed, and come up upon

 15 The Lord hath trodden under foot all my

 16 For these things I Aveep; "mine eye, mine eye 
 runneth down with water, because ''the comforter 
 that should f relieve my soul is far from me: my 
 children are desolate, because the enemy prevailed. 
 
 17 'Zion spreadeth forth her hands, and, ''there is

 20 Behold, Lord; for I am in distress: my

 2 The Lord hath swallowed up all the habitation* 
 of Jacob, ''and hath not pitied: he hath thrown down 
 in his wrath Ihe strongholds of the daughter of Ju- 
 dah ; he hath t brought them down to the ground : 'be 
 hath polluted the kingdom and the princes thereof. 
 
 3 He hath cut oil' in his fierce anger all the horn 
 of Israel: 'he hath .drawn back his light hand from 
 before the enemy, A 'and he burned against Jacob like 
 a flaming fire, which devoureth round about. 
 
 4 ''He hath bent his bow like an enemy: he stood 
 with his right hand as an adversary and slew fall 
 that were pleasant to the eye in the tabernacle of the 
 daughter of Zion: he poured out his fury like fire. 
 
 5 *The Lord was as an enemy : he hath swallowed 
 up Israel, 'he hath swallowed up all her palaces: he 
 hath destroyed his strong holds, and hath increased 
 in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation. 
 
 6 And he hath violently '"taken away his || taber- 
 nacle, "as if it tvere of a garden: he hath destroyed 
 his places of the assembly: "the Lord hath caused 
 the solemn feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in 
 Zion, and hath despised in the indignation of his 
 anger the king and the priest. 
 
 7 The Lord hath cast off his altar, he hath al>- 
 horred his sanctuary, he hath f given up into the 
 hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces; ''they 
 have made a noise in the house of the Lord, as in 
 the day of a solemn feast. 
 
 8 The Lord hath purposed to destroy the wall of 
 the daughter of Zion: ''he hath stretched out a line. 
 he hath not withdrawn his hand from f destroying: 
 therefore he made the rampart and the wall to la- 
 ment; the}-' languished together. 
 
 9 Her gates are sunk into the ground; he hath 
 destroyed and r broken her bars: 'her king and her 
 princes are among the Gentiles : 'the law is no more: 
 her "prophets also find no vision from the Lord. 
 
 10 The elders of the daughter of Zion x sit upon 
 the ground, and keep silence; the}' Lave y cast up 
 dust upon their heads : they have *girded them- 
 selves with sackcloth : the virgins of Jerusalem 
 hang down their heads to the ground. 
 
 11 "Mine eyes do fail with tears, *my bowels are 
 troubled, c my liver is poured upon the earth, for the 
 destruction of the daughter of my people; because 
 '' the children and the sucklings || swoon in the streets 
 of the city. 
 
 12 They say to their mothers, Where is corn and 
 wine? when they swooned as the wounded in the 
 streets of the city, when their soul was poured out 
 into their mothers' bosom. 
 
 13 What thing shall I take to witness for thee? 
 'what thing shall I liken to thee, O daughter of Je- 
 rusalem? What shall I equal to thee, that I may 
 comfort thee, O 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 discovered thine ini- 
 quity, to turn away thy captivity; but have seen for 
 thee false burdens and causes of banishment. 
 
 15 ''All that pass fby, 'clap their hands at thee;

 \ Zion's pitiful estate bewailed. 13 She confessed) her sins. 
 
 HOW is the gold become dim! how is the most 
 fine gold changed ! the stones of the sanctuary 
 are poured out "in the top of every street. 
 
 2 The precious sons of Zion, comparable to fine 
 gold, how are they esteemed ''as earthen pitchers, 
 the work of the hands of the potter! 
 
 3 Even the || sea-monsters draw out the breast, 
 they give suck to their young ones: the daughter 
 of my people is become cruel, r likc the ostriches in 
 the wilderness. 
 
 4 ''The tongue of the sucking child cleaveth to 
 the roof of his month for thirst: f the young children 
 ask bread, and no man breaketh it unto them. 
 
 5 They that did feed delicately are desolate in 
 the streets : they that were brought up in scarlet 
 ■'embrace dunghills. 
 
 6 For the j| punishment of the iniquity of the 
 daughter of my people is greater than the punish- 
 ment of the sin of Sodom, that was s overthrown as 
 in a moment, and no hands stayed on her. 
 
 7 Her Nazarites were purer than snow, they were 
 whiter than milk, they were more ruddy in body 
 than rubies, their polishing was of sapphire: 
 
 8 Their visage is f' 1 blacker than a coal; they are 
 not known in the streets : 'their skin cleaveth to their 
 bones ; it is withered, it is become like a stick. 
 
 9 They that be slain with the sword are better than 
 the// that be slain with hunger: for these fpine away, 
 stricken through for want tf the fruits of the field. 
 
 10 '•The hands of the 'pitiful women have sodden 
 their own children: they were their '"meat in the 
 destruction of the daughter of my people. 
 
 11 The Lord hath accomplished his fury ; " he hath 
 poured out his tierce anger, and "hath kindled a tire in 
 £ion, and it hath devoured the foundations thereof.

 The BOOK of the Prophet EZEKIEL. 
 
 CHAP. I. 
 
 1 The time of EzehieVs prophecy at Chebar. 4 His vision. 
 
 "VTOW it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the 
 1^1 fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as 
 
 I was among the f captives "by the river of Chebar, 
 that *the heavens were opened, and I saw c visions 
 of God. 
 
 2 In the fifth day of the month, which was the 
 fifth year of ''king Jehoiachin's captivity, 
 
 3 The word of the Lord came expressly unto 
 t Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of 
 the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and 'the hand 
 of the Lord was there upon him. 
 
 4 HAnd I looked, and behold, 'a whirlwind 
 came *out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire 
 t infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and 
 out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, 
 out of the midst of the fire. 
 
 5 A Also out of the midst thereof came the like- 
 ness of four livino- creatures. And 'this was their 
 appearance; they had fc the likeness of a man. 
 
 G And every one had four faces, and every one 
 had four wings. 
 
 7 And their feet were f straight feet ; and the sole 
 of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot; and 
 they sparkled 'like the colour of burnished brass. 
 
 e '"And they had the hands of a man under their 
 wings on their four sides; and they four had their 
 faces and their wings. 
 
 "Their wings were joined one to another; "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 
 
 II stretched upward; two wings of every one were 
 joined one to another, and "two covered their bodies. 
 
 12 And a they went every one straight forward; 
 'whither the spirit was to go, they went; and z they 
 turned not when they went. 
 
 13 As for the likeness of the living creatures, 
 their appearance was like burning coals of fire, "and 
 like the appearance of lamps: it went up and down 
 among the living creatures; and the fire w r as bright, 
 and out of the fire went forth lightning. 
 
 14 And the living creatures *ran and returned 
 'as the appearance of a flash of lightning. 
 
 15 IT Now as I beheld the living creatures, be- 
 hold ''one wheel upon the earth by the living crea- 
 tures, with his four faces. 
 
 10 ''The appearance of the wheels and their work 
 was 'like unto the colour of a 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 : s and thty turned not when thev wont.

 18 As for their rings, they were so high that 
 they were dreadful; and their || rings were full ot 
 eyes round about them 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 A Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they 
 went, thither was their spirit to go; and the wheels 
 were lifted up over against them: 'for the spirit 
 II of the living creature was in the wheels. 
 
 21 '"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 the firmament upon the 
 heads of the living creature was as the colour of 
 the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their heads 
 above. 
 
 23 And under the firmament were their wings 
 straight, the one toward the other: every one had 
 two, which covered on this side, and every one had 
 two, which covered on that side, their bodies. 
 
 24 "And when they went, I heard the noise of their 
 wings, Mike the noise of great waters, as ? the voice 
 of the Almighty, the voice of speech, as the noise of 
 an host: when they stood, they let down their wings. 
 
 25 And there was a voice from the firmament 
 that was over thejr heads, when they stood, and had 
 let down their wings. 
 
 26 If' And above the firmament that was over their 
 heads was the likeness of a throne, 'as the appear- 
 ance of a sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of 
 the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a 
 man above upon it. 
 
 27 'And I saw as the colour of amber, as the 
 appearance of fire round about within it, from the 
 appearance of his loins even upward, and from the 
 appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it 
 were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness 
 round about. 
 
 28 "As the appearance of the bow that is in the 
 cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of 
 the brightness round about. ^This was the appear- 
 ance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. 
 And when I saw it, y I fell upon my face, and 1 
 heard a voice of one that spake.

 8 But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto

 9 If And when I looked, behold, "an hand was sent 
 unto me; and lo, ; 'a roll of a book was therein; 
 
 10 And he spread it before me : and it was written

 lamentations, and mourning, and w t o.

 1 Ezekiel eateth the roll. 4 God eneourageth him. 
 
 1%/f OREO VER he said unto me, Son of man, eat 
 JJA. that thou findest; "eat this roll, and go speak 
 onto the house of Israel. 
 
 2 So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to 
 eat that roll. 
 
 3 And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy 
 belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that 
 I give thee. Then did 1 6 eat it; and it was in my 
 mouth c as honey for sweetness. 
 
 4 If And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get 
 ihee unto the house of Israel, and speak with my 
 words unto them. 
 
 5 For thou art not sent to a people f of a strange 
 speech and of an hard language, but to the house 
 of Israel; 
 
 6 Not to many people f of a strange speech and 
 of an hard language, whose words thou canst not 
 understand. || Surely, ''had I sent thee to them, 
 they would have hearkened unto thee. 
 
 7 But the house of Israel will not hearken unto 
 thee; 'for they will not hearken unto me: / for all 
 the house of Israel are f impudent and hard-hearted. 
 
 8 Behold, I have made thy face strong against their 
 faces, and thy forehead strong against their foreheads. 
 
 9 *As an adamant, harder than flint have I made 
 thy forehead: A fear them not, neither be dismayed 
 A.t their looks, though they be a rebellious house. 
 
 10 Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, all 
 my words that I shall speak unto thee receive in 
 thine heart, and hear with thine ears. 
 
 11 And go, get thee to them of the captivity, unto 
 the children of thy people, and speak unto them, and 
 tell them, 'Thus saith the Lord God; whether they 
 will hear, or whether they will forbear. 
 
 12 Then the * spirit took me up, and I heard be- 
 hind me a voice of a great rushing, saying, Blessed 
 be the glory of the Lord from his place. 
 
 13 J heard also the noise of the wings of the 
 Living creatures that f touched one another, 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,

 15 IfThen I came to them of the captivity :it 
 Tel-abib, that dwelt by the river of Chebar, and "] 
 sat where they sat, and remained there astonished 
 among them seven days. 
 
 16 And it came to pass at the end of seven days, 
 that the word of the Lord came unto me, saying:. 
 
 17 "Son of man, I have made thee ; 'a watchman 
 unto the house of Israel : therefore hear the word 
 at my mouth, and give them warning from me. 
 
 18 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely 
 die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speake.-t 
 to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his 
 life; the same wicked w«m 'shall die in his iniquity; 
 but his blood will I require at thine 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 ; r but thou hast delivered thy soul. 
 
 20 Again, When a 'righteous man doth turn from 
 his f righteousness, and commit iniquity -nd I lay 
 a stumbling-block before him, he shall (lie : because 
 thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his 
 sin, and his righteousness which he hath d-one shall 
 not be remembered; but his blood will I require at 
 thine hand. . 
 
 21 Nevertheless, if thou warn the righteous ?nav, 
 that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he 
 shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou 
 hast delivered thy soul. 
 
 22 If f And the hand of the Lord was there upon 
 me; and he said unto 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, - r the glory of the Lord stood there, as 
 the glory which 1 y saw by the river of Chebar: z and 
 I fell on my face. 
 
 24 Then "the spirit entered into me, and set me 
 upon my feet, and spake with me, and said unto me, 
 Go, shut thyself within thine house. 
 
 25 But thou, O son of man, behold, 6 they shall 
 put bands upon thee, and shall bind thee with them, 
 and thou shalt not go out among them : 
 
 26 And e l will make thy tongue cleave to the 
 roof of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dumb, and 
 shalt not be to them fa reprover: rf for they are a 
 rebellious house. 
 
 27 r But when I speak with thee, I will open thv 
 mouth, and thou shalt say unto them, J Thus saith 
 the Lord God; He that heareth, let him hear; and 
 he that forbeareth, let him forbear: *for they are a 
 rebellious house. 
 
 CHAP. IV. 
 
 By the provision of the siege is shewed the hardness of the famine. 
 
 THOU also, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay 
 it before thee, and portray upon it the city, 
 even Jerusalem ; 
 
 2 And lay siege against it, and build a fort against 
 it, and cast a mount against it ; set the camp also 
 against it, and set || battering rams against it round 
 about. 
 
 3 Moreover take thou unto thee || 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 upon thy left side, and lay tho 
 
 iniquity of the house of Israel upon it: according to 
 
 the number of the days that Miou shalt lie upon il 
 
 !thou shall bear their iniquity. 
 
 aoi 
 
tiy the type of hair 
 
 5 For I have laid upon thee the years of their 
 iniquity, according to the number of the days, three 
 hundred and ninety days: *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 in- 
 iquity of the house of Judah forty days : I have 
 appointed thee fe^h day for a year. 
 
 / Therefore thou shalt set thy face toward the 
 siege of Jerusalem, and thine arm shall be uncovered, 
 and thou shalt prophesy against it. 
 
 8 c And behold, I will lay bands upon thee, and 
 thou shalt not turn thee f from one side to another, 
 till thou hast ended the days of thy siege. 
 
 9 If Take thou also unto thee wheat, and barley, 
 and beans, and lentiles, and millet, and || fitches, and 
 put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof, 
 according to the number of the days that thou shalt 
 lie upon thy side ; three hundred and ninety days 
 shalt thou eat thereof. 
 
 10 And thy meat which thou shalt eat shall be by 
 weight, twenty shekels a day : from time to time 
 shalt thou eat it. 
 
 1 1 Thou shalt drink also water by measure, the sixth 
 part of an hin : from time to time shalt thou drink. 
 
 12 And thou shalt eat it as barley cakes, and thou 
 shalt bake it with dung that cometh out of man, in 
 their sight. 
 
 13 And the Lord said, Even thus ''shall the 
 children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the 
 Gentiles, whither I will drive them. 
 
 14 Then said I, e Ah Lord God ! behold, my soul 
 hath 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 *abom- 
 inable flesh into my mouth. 
 
 15 Then he said unto me, Lo, I have given thee 
 cow's dung for man's dung, and thou shalt prepare 
 thy bread therewith. 
 
 16 Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, behold, 
 [ will break the h staff of bread in Jerusalem : and 
 they shall 'eat bread by weight, and with care; and 
 they shall * drink water by measure, and with aston- 
 ishment. 
 
 17 That they may want bread a/nd water, and be 
 astonied one with another, and 'consume away for 
 their iniquity. 
 
 CHAP. V. 
 
 The judgment of Jerusalem for their rebellion. 
 
 AND thou, son of man, take thee a sharp knife, 
 take thee a barber's razor, "and cause it to pass 
 upon thine head and upon thy beard : then take thee 
 balances to weigh, and divide the hair. 
 
 2 'Thou shalt burn with fire a third part in the 
 midst of c the city, when rf the days of the siege are 
 fulfilled : and thou shalt take a third part, and smite 
 about it with a 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 f skirls. 
 
 i Then take of them again, and f cast them into the 
 midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire : for thereof 
 ehall a fire come forth into all the house of Israel.

 that are round about her.

 a /amine is foreshevm 
 
 wickedness more than tne nations, and my statutes 
 more than the countries that are round about her ■ 
 for they have refused my judgments and my statute*, 
 they have not walked in them. 
 
 7 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Because ye 
 multiplied more than the nations that are round about 
 you, and have not walked in my statutes, neither have 
 kept my judgments, e neither have done according +<> 
 the judgments of the nations that are round about you ; 
 
 8 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I, 
 even I, am against thee, and will execute judgments 
 in the midst of thee in the sight of the nations. 
 
 9 ''And I will do in thee that which I have not 
 done, and whereunto I will not do any more the like, 
 because of all thine abominations. 
 
 10 Therefore the fathers ; shall eat the sons in the 
 midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers ; and 
 I will execute judgments in thee, and the whole rem- 
 nant of thee will I 'scatter into all the winds. 
 
 11 Wherefore, as I live, saith the Lord God; Surely, 
 because thou hast 'defiled my sanctuary with all thy 
 "■detestable things, and with all thine abominations, 
 therefore will I also diminish thee; "neither shall 
 mine eye spare, neither will I have any pity. 
 
 12 IT "A third part of thee shall die with the pes- 
 tilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in 
 the midst of thee: and a third part shall fall by the 
 sword round about thee; and 'I will scatter a third 
 part into all the winds, and q \ will draw out a sword 
 after them. 
 
 13 Thus shall mine anger r be accomplished, and 
 I will * cause my fury to rest upon them, 'and I will 
 be comforted : "and they shall know that I the Lord 
 have spoken it in my zeal, when I have accomplished 
 my fury in them. 
 
 14 Moreover, *I will make thee waste, and a re 
 proach among the nations that are round about thee, 
 in the sight of all that pass by. 
 
 15 So it shall be a y reproach and a taunt, an in- 
 struction and an astonishment unto the nations that 
 are round about thee, when I shall execute judg- 
 ments in thee in anger, and in fury, and in z furious 
 rebukes. I the Lord have spoken it. 
 
 16 When I shall "send upon them the evil arrows 
 of famine, which shall be for their destruction, and 
 which I will send to destroy you : and I will in- 
 crease the famine upon you, and will break your 
 'staff of bread: 
 
 17 So will I send upon you famine and c evil 
 beasts, and they shall bereave thee; and ''pestilence 
 and blood shall pass through thee ; and I will bring 
 the sword upon thee. I the Lord have spoken it. 
 
 CHAP. VI. 
 
 The faithful are exhorted to lament their calamities. 
 
 AND the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 
 2 Son of man, "set thy face toward the 'moun- 
 tains of Israel, and prophesy against them, 
 
 3 And say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word 
 of the Lord God : Thus saith the Lord God to the 
 mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the 
 valleys ; Behold, I, even I, will bring a sword upon 
 you, and C I will destroy your high places. 
 
 4 And your altars shall be desolate, and your 
 || images shall be broken : and d l will cast down youi 
 slain men before your idols. 
 
 5 And I will flay the dead carcasses of the chil 
 dren of Israel before their idols; and 1 will scatief 
 your bones round about your altars 
 
ThefJthjul exhorted. 
 
 6 In all your dwelling-places the cities shall he 
 lanl waste, .and the high places shall he desolate; 
 that your altars may be laid waste and made deso- 
 late, and your idols may be broken and cease, and 
 your images may be cut down, and your works may 
 be abolished. 
 
 7 And the slain shall fall in the midst of you, and 
 3'e shall know that 1 am the Lord. 
 
 8 II 7 Yet will I leave a remnant, that ye may have 
 some that shall escape the sword among the nations, 
 when ye shall be scattered through the countries. 
 
 9 And they that escape of you shall remember 
 tnc among the nations whither they shall be carried 
 captives, because g I am broken with their whorish 
 heart, which hath departed from me, and ''with their 
 eyes which go a whoring 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 the Lord, and 
 that I have not said in vain that I would do this evil 
 unto them. 
 
 11 TThus saith the Lord God; Smite *with thine 
 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 
 *,he pestilence. 
 
 12 He that is far off shall die of the pestilence ; 
 and he that is near shall fall hj the sword; and he 
 that remairiethand is besieged shall die by the famine : 
 ""thus will I accomplish my fury upon them. 
 
 13 Then "shall ye know that I am the Lord, when 
 their slain men shall be among their idols round 
 about their altars, "upon every high hill, ^in all the 
 tops of the mountains, and ? under every green tree, 
 and under every thick oak, the place where they did 
 offer sweet savour to all their idols. 
 
 14 So will I r stretch out my hand upon them, and 
 make the land desolate, yea, || more desolate than the 
 wilderness toward 'Diblath, in all their habitations : 
 and they shall know that I am the. Lord.

 1 The final desolation of Israel. 23 Their miserable captivity. 
 
 MOREOVER the word of the Lord came unto 
 me, saying, 
 
 2 Also, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord God 
 unto the land of Israel; "An end, the end is come 
 upon the four corners of the land. 
 
 3 Now is the end come upon thee, and I will send 
 mine anger upon thee, and * will judge thee according 
 to thy ways, and will f recompense upon thee all 
 thine abominations. 
 
 4 And 'mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will 
 I have pity : but I will recompense thy ways upon 
 thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst 
 of thee: d and ye shall know that I am the Lord. 
 
 5 Thus saith the Lord God ; An evil, an only evil, 
 behold, is come. 
 
 b* An end is come, the end is come : it f watcheth 
 for thee; behold, it is come. 
 
 7 c The morning is come unto thee, thou that 
 dwellest in the land: • / 'the time is come, the day of 
 trouble is near, and not the || sounding again of the 
 mountains. 
 
 8 Now will I shortly g pour out my fury upon thee,

 judge thee according to'thy ways, and will recom- 
 pense thee for all thine abominations,

 10 Behold the day, behold, it is come: 'the morn- 
 ing is gone forth ; the rod hath blossomed, pride hath 
 budded. 
 
 1 1 '" Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness :

 for them. 
 
 12 "The time is come, the day draweth near: let 
 not the buj'er rejoice, nor the seller mourn: for wrath 
 is upon all the multitude thereof. 
 
 13 For the seller shall not return to that which 
 is sold, t although they were yet alive: for the vision 
 is touching the whole multitude thereof, which shall 
 not return; neither shall any strengthen himself II in 
 fthe iniquity of his life. 
 
 14 They have blown the trumpet, even to make

 is upon all the multitude thereof. 
 
 15 A The sword is without, and the pestilence and

 shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys,

 18 They shall also 'gird themselves with sackcloth,

 20 H As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it

 23 IF Make a chain: for "the land is full of bloody

 1 Ezekitl's vision. 18 God's wrath for idolatry. 
 
 AND it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth 
 month, in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in 
 mine house, and "the elders of Judah sat before me, 
 that Uhe hand of the Lord God fell there upon me. 
 
 2 'Then I beheld, and lo a likeness as the appear- 
 ance of (ire: from the appearance of his loins even 
 downward, fire; and from his loins even upward, as 
 the appearance of brightness, ''as the colour of amber. 
 
 3 And he 'put forth the form of an hand, and took 
 me by a lock of mine head ; and J the spirit lifted me 
 np between the earth and the heaven, and * brought 
 me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door 
 of the inner gate that looketh toward the north; 
 * where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which 
 ' provoketh to jealousy. 
 
 4 And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel ivas 
 there, according to the vision that I *saw in the plain. 
 
 5 H Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift up thine 
 eyes now the way toward the north. So I lifted up 
 mine eyes the way toward the north, and behold 
 northward at the gate of the altar this image of 
 jealousy in the entry. 
 
 6 He said furthermore unto me, Son of man, seest 
 thou what they do? even the great abominations that 
 the house of Israel committeth here, that I should 
 go far off from my sanctuary? but turn thee yet 
 again, and thou shalt see greater abominations. 
 
 7 HAnd he brought me to the door of the court; 
 and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall. 
 
 8 Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in 
 the wall : and when I had digged in the wall, behold 
 
 door. 
 
 9 And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the 
 wicked abominations that they do here. 
 
 10 So I went in and saw; and behold every form 
 of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and all 
 the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed upon the 
 wall round about. 
 
 11 And there stood before them seventy men of 
 the ancients ^f the house of Israel, and in the midst 
 of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, with 
 every man his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud 
 of incense went rip. 
 
 12 Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou 
 seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in 
 the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? 
 for they say, 'The Lord seeth us not; the Lord hath 
 forsaken the earth. 
 
 13 IT He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, 
 and thou shalt see greater abominations that they do. 
 
 14 Then he brought me to the door of the gate of 
 the Lord's house which was toward the north; and 
 behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz. 
 
 15 II Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, 
 son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt 
 see greater abominations than these. 
 
 16 And he brought me into the inner court of the 
 Lord's house, and behold, at the door of the temple 
 of the Lord, ""between the porch and the altar, "were 
 about five and twenty men, "with their backs toward 
 die temple of the Lord, and their faces toward the 
 east; and they worshipped /J the sun toward the east. 
 
 17 IT Then he said unto 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 
 thev commit here? for they have ''filled the land

 A vision, whereby is shewn the preservation of some, and the destruction of 
 
 the rest. 
 
 HE cried also in mine ears with a, loud voice, say- 
 ing, Cause them that have charge over the 
 city to draw near, even every man with his destroy- 
 ing weapon in his hand. 
 
 2 And behold, six men came from the way of the 
 higher gate, t^bicli lieth toward the north, and 
 every man f a slaughter-weapon in his hand; "and 
 one man among them ivas clothed with linen, with a 
 writer's inkhorn fby his side: and they went in 
 and stood beside the brazen altar. 
 
 3 And Hhe glory of the God of Israel was gone 
 np from the cherub whereupon he was, to the 
 threshold of the house. And he called to the man 
 clothed with linen, which had the writer's inkhorn 
 by his side; 
 
 4 And the Lord said unto him, Go through the 
 midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, 
 and \set 'a mark upon the foreheads of the men 
 ''that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that 
 be done in the midst thereof. 
 
 5 IT And to the others he said in fmine hearing, 
 Go ye after him through the city, and smite: 'let 
 not your eye spare, neither have ye pity : 
 
 6 J Slay f utterly old and young, both maids, 
 little children, and women : but *come not near 
 man upon whom is the mark; and h begin at 
 sanctuary. 'Then they began at the ancient men 
 which ivere before the house. 
 
 7 And he said unto them, Defile the house, and 
 fill the courts with the slain : go ye forth. And they 
 went forth, and slew in the city. 
 
 8 HAnd it came to pass while they were slaying 
 them, and I was left, that I ft fell upon my face, an^ 
 cried, and said, 'Ah Lord God! wilt thou destroy 
 all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy 
 fury upon Jerusalem? 
 
 9 Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house 
 of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and "'the land 
 is f full of blood, and the city full of || perverseness : 
 for the}' say, "The Lord hath forsaken the earth, 
 and "the Lord seeth not. 
 
 10 And as for me also, mine ''eye shall not spare, 
 neither will I have pity, but q l will recompense then: 
 way upon their head. 
 
 11 And behold, the man clothed with linen, which 
 had the inkhorn by his side, f reported the matter, 
 saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me.

 The vision of the coals of fire, and of the cherubims. 
 
 T r HEN 1 looked, and behold, in the "firmament 
 that was. above the head of the cherubims there 
 appeared over them as it were a sapphire stone, «s 
 the appearance of the likeness of a throne. 
 
 2 *And he spake unto the man clothed with linen, 
 and said, Go in between the wheels, even under the 
 cherub, and fill t thine hand with c coals of fire from 
 between the cherubims, and ''scatter them over the 
 city. And he Avent in in my sight.

 the house, when the man went in; and the cloud 
 filled the inner court. 
 
 4 'Then the glory of the Loud f went up from the 
 cherub, and stood over the threshold of the house; 
 and J the house was filled with the cloud, and the court 
 was full of the brightness of the Lord's glory. 
 
 5 And the * sound of the cherubims' wings was 
 heard even to the outer court, as ''the voice of the 
 Almighty God when he speaketh. 
 
 6 And it came to pass, that when he had com- 
 manded the man clothed with linen, saying, Take fire 
 from between the wheels, from between the cheru- 
 bims; then he went in, and stood beside the wheels. 
 
 7 And one cherub | stretched forth his hand from 
 between the cherubims unto the fire that was be- 
 tween the cherubims, and took thereof, and put it 
 into the hands of him that ivas clothed with linen: 
 who took it, and went out. 
 
 8 H 'And there appeared in the cherubims the 
 form of a man's hand under their wings. 
 
 9 *And when 1 looked, behold the four wheels 
 by the cherubims, one wheel by one cherub, and an- 
 other wheel by another cherub: and the appearance 
 of the wheels was as the colour of a '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 upon 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 fbody,and their backs, and their 
 hands, and their wings, and "the wheels, were full of 
 eyes round about, even the wheels that they four had. 
 
 13 As for the wheels, || it was cried unto them 
 in my hearing, wheel! 
 
 14 'And every one had four faces: the first face 
 was the face of a cherub, and the second face ivas 
 the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, 
 and the fourth the face of an eagle. 
 
 15 And the cherubims were lifted up. This is p the 
 living creature that I saw by the river of Chebar. 
 
 16 'And when the cherubims went, the wheels 
 went by them: and when the cherubims lifted up 
 their wings to mount up from the earth, the same 
 wheels also turned 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 living creature was in them. 
 
 18 Then 'the glory of the Lord 'departed from 
 off the threshold of the house, and stood over the 
 cherubims. 
 
 19 And "the cherubims lifted up their wings, and 
 mounted up from the earth in my sight : when they 
 went out, the wheels also were beside them, and 
 every one stood at the door of the east gate of the 
 Lord's house ; and the glory of the God of Israel 
 was over them above. 
 
 20 x This is the living creature that I saw under 
 the God of Israel y by the river of Chebar; and I 
 knew that they were the cherubims. 
 
 21 *Evei*y one had four faces apiece, and every 
 one four wings ; ° and the likeness of the hands of a 
 man was under their wings. 
 
 22 And b 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.

 God sheweth Ezeltiel his purpose, in taring a remnant. 
 
 l\/I~OREOVER, "the spirit lifted me up, and 
 -L'J- brought me unto 6 the east gate of the Lord's 
 
 house, which looketh eastward: and behold 'at the 
 door of the gate five and twenty men; among whom 
 I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azur, and Pelatiah the 
 son of Benaiah, princes of the people. 
 
 2 Then said he unto me, Son of man, these are 
 the men that devise mischief, and give wicked 
 counsel in this city: 
 
 3 Which say, \\lt is not rf near ; let us build houses : 
 'this city is the caldron, and we he the flesh. 
 
 4 TI Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, 
 
 son of man. 
 
 5 And J the Spirit of the Lord fell upon me, and 
 said unto me, Speak; Thus saith the Lord; Thus 
 have ye said, O house of Israel: for I know the 
 things that come into your mind, every one of them. 
 
 6 A 'Ye have multiplied your slain in this city, and 
 ye have filled the streets thereof with the slain. 
 
 7 Therefore thus saith the Loid God: A Your 
 slain whom ye have laid in the imdst of it, they 
 are the flesh, and this city is the caldron: 'but 1 
 will bring you forth out of the midst of it. 
 
 8 Ye have feared the sword ; and I will bring a 
 sword upon you, saith the Lord God. 
 
 9 And I will bring you out. of 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 you 
 in '"the border of Israel; "and ye shall know that 
 
 1 am the Lord. 
 
 11 "This city shall not be jour caldron, neither 
 shall ye be the flesh in the midst thereof; but I 
 will judge you in the border of Israel: 
 
 12 And ''ve shall know that 1 am the Lord: || for 
 ye have not walked in my statutes, neither ex- 
 ecuted my judgments, but 'have done after the 
 manners of the heathen that are round about you. 
 
 13 HAnd it came to pass, when I prophesied, 
 that r Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then 'fell 
 I down upon my face, and cried with a loud voice, 
 and said, Ah Lord God ! wilt thou make a full end 
 of the remnant of Israel? 
 
 14 Again the word of the Lord came unto me, 
 saying, 
 
 15 Son of man, thy brethren, even thy brethren, 
 the men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel 
 wholly, are they unto whom the inhabitants of 
 Jerusalem have said. Get you far from the Lord: 
 unto us is this land given in possession. 
 
 16 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord God; 
 Although I have cast them far off among the 
 heathen, and although I have scattered them amc ng 
 the countries, f yet will I be to them as a little 
 sanctuary in the countries where they shall come. 
 
 17 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord God; u I 
 will even gather you from the people, and assemble 
 you out ot the countries where ye have been scat- 
 tered, and I will give you the land of Israel. 
 
 18 And they shall come thither, and x they shaP 
 take away all the detestable things thereof and al 
 the abominations thereof from thence. 
 
 19 And y \ 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 cive them 
 an heart of flesh.:

 22 H Then did the cherubims 'lift up their wings, 
 and the wheels beside them; and the glory of the 
 God of Israel was over them above. 
 
 23 And J the glory of the Lord went up from the 
 midst of the city, and stood *upon the mountain 
 * which is on the east side of the city. 
 
 24 IT Afterwards 'the spirit took me up, and 
 brought me in a vision by the Spirit of God into 
 Chaldea, to them of the captivity. So the vision 
 that 1 had seen went up from me. 
 
 25 Then I spake unto them of the captivity all 
 the things that the Lord had shewed me.

 THE word of the Lord also came unto me, saying, 
 2 Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of 
 "a rebellious house, which ''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 thee || stuff 
 for removing, and remove by day in their sight; and 
 thou shalt remove from thy place to another place 
 in their sight; it may be they will consider, though 
 they be a rebellious house. 
 
 4 Then shalt thou bring forth thy stuff by day 
 in their sight, as stuff for removing : and thou shalt 
 go forth at even in their sight, f !l s they that go 
 forth into captivity. 
 
 5 fDig thou through the wall in their sight, and 
 carry out thereby. 
 
 6 In their sight shalt thou bear it upon thy shoul- 
 ders, and carry it forth in the twilight: thou shalt 
 cover thy face, that thou see not the ground : ''for I 
 have set thee for a sign unto the house of Israel. 
 
 7 And I did so as I was commanded : I brought 
 forth my stuff by day, as stuff for captivity, and in 
 the even I f digged through the wall with mine hand ; 
 I brought it forth in the twilight, and I bare it upon 
 my shoulder in their sight. . 
 
 8 IT And in the morning came the word of the 
 Lord unto me, saying, 
 
 9 Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, 'the 
 rebellious house, said unto thee, f What doest thou? 
 
 L0 Say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; 
 This s burden concerneth the prince in Jerusalem, and 
 all the house of Israel that are among them. 
 
 11 Say, ''I am your sign : like as I have done, so 
 shall it be done unto them: f'they shall remove and 
 go into captivity. 
 
 12 And *the prince that is among them shall bear 
 upon 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.

 15 ''And they shall know that I am the Lord, 
 when I shall scatter them among the nations, and 
 disperse them in the countries. 
 
 16 "But 1 will leave fa few men of them from 
 the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; 
 that they may declare all their abominations among 
 the heathen whither they come; and they shall know 
 that 1 am the Lord. 
 
 17 If Moreover the word of the Lord came to ine, 
 saying, 
 
 18 Son of man, r eat thy bread with quaking, and 
 drink thy water with trembling and with carefulness; 
 
 19 And say unto the people of the land, Thus 
 saith the Lord God of the inhabitants of Jerusa- 
 lem, and of the land of Israel; They shall eat their 
 bread with carefulness, and drink their water with 
 astonishment, that her land may 'be desolate from 
 fall that is therein, 'because of the violence of ail 
 them that dwell therein. 
 
 20 And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid 
 waste, and the land shall be desolate; and ye shall 
 know that I am the Lord. 
 
 21 If And the word of the Lord came unto me, 
 saying, 
 
 22 Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have 
 in the land of Israel, saying, u The days are prolonged, 
 and every vision faileth? 
 
 23 Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord God ; 
 I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall 
 no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto 
 them, ^The days are at hand, and the effect of every 
 vision. 
 
 24 For y there shall be no more any z vain vision 
 nor flattering divination within the house of Israel. 
 
 25 For I am the Lord: I will speak, and a the 
 word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall 
 be no more prolonged : for in your days, rebel- 
 lious house, will I say the word, and will perform 
 it, saith the Lord God. 
 
 26 H Again the word of the Lord came to me, 
 saying^ 
 
 27^ Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel 
 say, The vision that he seeth is 'for many days to 
 come, and he prophesieth of the times that are far off. 
 
 28 d Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord 
 God; There shall none of my words be prolonged 
 any more, but the word which I have spoken shall 
 be done, saith the Lord God.

 1 The proof of lying ■prophets. 17 Of prophetesses and their pillows. 
 
 AND the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 
 2 Son of man, prophesy against the prophets 
 of Israel that prophesy, and say thou unto "fthem 
 that prophesy out of their own 4 hearts, Hear ye the 
 word of the Lord ; 
 
 3 Thus saith the Lord God; Wo unto the foolish 
 prophets, that f follow their own spirit, || and have 
 seen nothing! 
 
 4 Israel, thy prophets are 'like the foxes in (he 
 deserts. 
 
 5 Ye d have not gone up into the Ii gaps, neithet 
 f made up the hedge for the house of Israel to stand 
 in the battle in the day of the Lord. 
 
 6 'They have seen vanity and lying divination, 
 saying, The Lord saith: and the Lord hath not 
 sent them: and they have made others to hope that 
 they would confirm the word. 
 
 7 Have ye not seen a vain vision, and have ve 
 
Of projihetesses and their pillows. 
 
 not spoken a lying divination, whereas ye say, The 
 Lord gaith it, albeit I have not spoken? 
 
 8 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Because ye 
 have spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, 
 I am against you, saith the Lord God. 
 
 9 And mine hand shall be upon the prophets that 
 see vanity, and that divine lies : they shall not be in 
 the || assembly of my people, •'neither shall they be 
 written in the writing of the house of Israel, * neither 
 shall they enter into the land of Israel; ''and ye 
 shall know that I am the Lord God. 
 
 10 H Because, even because they have seduced 
 my people, saying, 'Peace; and there was no peace; 
 and one built up || a wall, and lo, others ''"daubed it 
 with untempered mortar: 
 
 11 Say unto them which daub it with untempered 
 mortar, that it shall fall: 'there shall be an over- 
 flowing shower; and ye, great hailstones, shall 
 fall; and a stormy wind shall rend it. 
 
 12 Lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not be 
 said unto you, Where is the daubing wherewith ye 
 have daubed it? 
 
 13 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; 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 consume it. 
 
 14 So will I break down the wall that ye have 
 daubed with untempered mortar, and bring it down 
 to the ground, so that the foundation thereof shall 
 be discovered, and it shall fall, and ye shall be con- 
 sumed in the midst thereof: m and ye shall know- 
 that I am the Lord. 
 
 15 Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon the 
 wall, and upon them that have daubed it«with un- 
 tempered mortar, and will say unto you, The wall 
 is no more, neither the}' that daubed it; 
 
 16 To wit, the prophets of Israel which prophesy 
 concerning Jerusalem, and which "see visions of peace 
 for her, and there is no peace, saith the Lord God. 
 
 17 If Likewise, thou son of man, "set thy face 
 against the daughters of thy people, ''which prophesy 
 out of their own heart; and prophesy thou against 
 them, 
 
 18 And say, Thus saith the Lord God; Wo to the 
 women that sew pillows to all || arm-holes, and make 
 kerchiefs upon the head of every stature to hunt 
 souls! Will ye 'hunt the souls of my people, and 
 will ye save the souls alive that come unto you? 
 
 19 And will ye pollute me among my people r for 
 handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay 
 the souls that should not die, and to save the souls 
 alive that should not live, by your lying to my 
 people that hear your lies ? 
 
 20 Wherefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, 
 I am against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt 
 the souls || to make them fly, and I will tear them 
 from your arms, and will let the souls go, even the 
 eouls that ye hunt to make them fly. 
 
 21 Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my 
 people out of your hand, and they shall be no more 
 in your hand to be hunted; J and ye shall know that 
 I am the Lord. 
 
 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, || f by promising 
 him life; 
 
 23 Therefore "ye shall see no more vanity, nor

 Hypocrite! reproved, uhn inquire of Qod with idolatry in their heart*. 
 
 r ["MIEN "came certain of the elders of Israel unto 
 J- me, and sat before me. 
 
 2 And the word of the Lord came unto me, Baying. 
 
 3 Son of man, these men have set up their idols 
 in their heart, and put Mhe stumbling-block of their 
 iniquity before their face: 'should I be inquired of 
 at all by them ? 
 
 4 Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, 
 Thus saith the Lord God; Every man of the house of 
 Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth 
 the stumbling-block of his iniquity before his face, and 
 cometh to the prophet; I the Lord will answer him 
 that cometh according 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 m<* 
 through their idols. 
 
 6 II Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus 
 saith the Lord God; Repent, and turn || yourselves 
 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 that sojourneth in Israel, which separateth 
 himself from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, 
 and putteth the stumbling-block of his iniquity be- 
 fore his face, and cometh to a prophet to inquire of 
 him concerning me; I the Lord will answer him by 
 myself : 
 
 8 And d I will set my face against that man, and 
 will make him a e sign and a proverb, and I will cut 
 him off from the midst of my people; -/'and ye shall 
 know that I am the Lord. 
 
 9 And if the prophet be deceived when he hath 
 spoken a thing, I the Lord 4 ' have deceived that pro- 
 phet, and 1 will stretch out my hand upon 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 as the punishment of him that seeketh unto 
 him; 
 
 11 That the house of Israel may A 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, saith the Lord God. 
 
 12 HThe word of the Lord came again to me, 
 saying, 
 
 13 Son of man, when the land sinneth against me 
 by trespassing grievously, then will I stretch out 
 mine hand upon it, and will break the * staff of the 
 bread thereof, and will send famine upon it, and will 
 cut off man and beast from it : 
 
 14 'Though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and 
 Job, were in it, the}' should deliver hut their own 
 souls '"by their righteousness, saith the Lord God. 
 
 15 M If I cause n noisome beasts to pass through the 
 land, and they || spoil it, so that it be desolate, that 
 no man may pass through because of the beasts; 
 
 16 ° Thouyh these three men were fin it, as I live, 
 saith the Lord God, they shall deliver neither sons 
 nor daughters ; they only shall be delivered, but the 
 land shall be desolate. 
 
 17 HOr if p \ bring a sword upon that land, and 
 say, Sword, go through the land; so that I *cut off 
 man and beast from it : 
 
 18 r Though these three men wet p. in it, as I rive. 
 
 6U7 
 
CrocTst irrevocable judgments 
 
 saith the Lord God, they shall deliver neither sons nor 
 daughters, but they only shall be delivered themselves. 
 
 19 IF Or, if I send *a pestilence into that land, and 
 'pour out my fury upon it in blood, to cut oil" from 
 it man and beast: 
 
 20 "Though Noah, Daniel, and Job, tvere in it, as I 
 live, saith the Lord God, they shall deliver neither 
 son nor daughter; they shall but deliver their own 
 souls by their righteousness. 
 
 21 iW thus saith the Lord God; j| How much more 
 when * I send my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, 
 the sword, and the famine, and the noisome beast, 
 and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast? 
 
 22 IF ''Yet, behold, therein shall be left a remnant 
 that shall be brought forth, both sons and daughters: 
 behold, they shall come forth unto you, and s ye shall 
 see their way and their doings : and ye shall be com- 
 forted concerning the evil that I have brought upon 
 Jerusalem, even concerning all that I have brought 
 upon it. 
 
 23 And they shall comfort you, when ye see their 
 ways and their doings; and ye shall know that 1 
 have not done "without cause all that I have done 
 in it, saith the Lord God.

 The rejection of Jerusalem foresheicn. 
 
 AND the word of the Lord came unto .ne, saying, 
 2 Son of man, What is the vine-tree more 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 midst of it 
 is burned, fls it meet for any work? 
 
 5 Behold, when it was whole, it was fmeet for 
 no work: how much less shall it be meet yet for any 
 work, when the fire hath devoured it, and it is burned ? 
 
 6 IF Therefore thus saith the Lord God; As the 
 idne-tree among the trees of the forest, which 1 have 
 given to the fire for fuel, so will I give the inhabit- 
 ants of Jerusalem. 
 
 7 And 6 I will set my face against them; r t-hey 
 shall go out from one fire, and another fire shall de- 
 vour them; rf and ye shall know that I am the Lord,

 Ooifs love to Jerusalem. 
 
 thou wast in thy blood, Live; yea, I said unto thee 
 when tl/ou wast in thy blood, Live. 
 
 7 f I have f caused thee to multiply as the bud of 
 the field, and thou hast increased and waxen great, 
 and thou art come to f excellent ornaments: thy 
 breasts are fashioned, and thine hair is grown, 
 whereas thou wast naked and bare. 
 
 8 Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon 
 thee, beho.d, thy time was the time of love; J and I 
 spread hk skirt over thee, and covered thy i aked- 
 ness: yea. I sware unto thee, and entered into a 
 covenant with thee, saith the Lord God, and r thou 
 becamest mine. 
 
 9 Then washed I thee with water; yea, ] thor- 
 oughly washed away thy f blood from thee, md 1 
 anointed thee with oil. 
 
 10 I clothed thee also with broidered wor):, and 
 shod thee with badgers' skin, and I girded thee about 
 with fine linen, and I covered thee with silk. 
 
 11 1 decked thee also with ornaments, and 1 "put 
 bracelets upon thine hands, 'and a chain on thy neck. 
 
 12 And I put a jewel on thy | forehead, and ear- 
 rings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon 
 thine head. 
 
 13 Thus wast thou decked with gold and silvei , 
 and thy raiment was of fine linen and silk, and 
 broidered work ; *thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, 
 and oil; and thou wast exceeding 'beautiful, and 
 thou didst prosper into a kingdom. 
 
 14 And '" thy renown went forth amongthe heathen 
 for thy beauty: for it was perfect through my comeli- 
 ness, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord God. 
 
 15 II" But thou didst trust in thine own beauty, 
 "and play»edst the harlot because of thy renown, and 
 pouredst out thy fornications on every one that 
 passed by; his it was. 
 
 16 /'And of thy garments thou didst take and deck 
 edst thy high places with divers colours, and play 
 edst the harlot thereupon: the like tilings shall noi 
 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 f of men, and didst commit 
 whoredom with them; 
 
 18 And tookest thy broidered garments, and 
 coveredst them : and thou hast set mine oil and 
 mine incense before them. 
 
 19 "My meat also which I gave thee, fine tlour 
 and oil, and honey, whercioith 1 fed thee, thou hast 
 even set it before them for fa sweet savour: and 
 thus it was, saith the Lord God. 
 
 20 'Moreover, thou hast taken thy sons and thy 
 daughters, whom thou hast borne unto me, and th<;se 
 hast thou sacrificed unto them f to be devoured, h 
 this of thy whoredoms a small matter, 
 
 21 That thou hast slain my children, and delivered 
 them to cause them to pass through the fire for them V 
 
 22 And in all thine abominations and thy wboie- 
 doms thou hast not remembered the days of th* 
 s youth, 'when thou wast naked and bare, and was; 
 polluted in thy blood. 
 
 23 And it came to pass, after all thy wickedness, 
 (wo, wo unto thee! saith the Lord God;) 
 
 24 That "thou hast also built unto thee an || emi- 
 nent place, and J hast made thee an 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, 
 
Her monstrous zvhorcdom, 
 
 and hast opened thy feet to every one that passed 
 by. and multiplied thy whoredoms. 
 " 26 Thou hast also committed fornication with *the 
 Egyptians thy neighbours, great of flesh; and hast 
 increased thy whoredoms, to provoke me to anger. 
 
 27 Behold, therefore I have stretched out my 
 hand over thee, and hr.ve diminished thine ordinary 
 food, and delivered thee unto the will of them that 
 hate thee, "the || daughters of the Philistines, which 
 are ashamed of thy lewd way. 
 
 28 ''Thou hast played the whore also with the 
 Assyrians, because thou wast unsatiable; yea, thou 
 hast played the harlot with them, and yet couldest 
 not be satisfied. 
 
 29 Thou hast, moreover, multiplied thy fornica- 
 tion in the land of Canaan c unto Chaldea; and yet 
 thou wast not satisfied herewith. 
 
 80 How weak is thine heart, saith the Lord God, 
 see'ng thou doest all these things, the work of an 
 imperious, whorish woman; 
 
 31 || In that ''thou buildest thine eminent place in 
 the head of every way, and makest thine high place 
 in every street; and hast not been as an harlot, in 
 that thou scornest hire; 
 
 32 But as a wife that committeth adultery, which 
 taketh strangers instead of her husband ! 
 
 33 They give gifts to all whores: but e thou givest 
 thy gifts to all thy lovers, and f hirest them, that the}' 
 may come unto thee on every side for thy whoredom. 
 
 34 And the contrary is in thee from other women 
 in thy whoredoms, whereas none followeth thee to 
 commit whoredoms : and in that thou givest a re- 
 ward, and no reward is given unto thee; therefore 
 thou art contrary. 
 
 35 If Wherefore, harlot, hear the word of the 
 Lord : 
 
 36 Thus saith the Lord God; Because thy filthi- 
 ness was poured out, and thy nakedness discovered 
 through thy whoredoms with thy lovers, and with all 
 the idols of thy abominations, and by Ahe blood of 
 thy children, which thou didst give unto them; 
 
 37 Behold, therefore, s \ will gather all thy lovers, 
 with whom thou hast taken pleasure, and all them 
 that thou hast loved, with all them that thou hast 
 hated: I will even gather them round about against 
 thee, and will discover thy nakedness unto them, 
 that they may see all thy nakedness. 
 
 38 And I will judge thee, fas ''women that 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 k thine eminent place, and 
 shall break down thy high places: 'they shall strip 
 thee also of thy clothes, and shall take f thy fair 
 jewels, and leave thee naked and bare. 
 
 40 "'They shall also bring up a company against 
 thee, "and they shall stone thee with stones, and 
 thrust thee through with their swords. 
 
 4 L And they shall ° burn thine houses with fire, and 
 'execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many 
 women : and I will cause thee to ? cease from playing 
 the harlot, and thou also shalt give no hire any more. 
 
 42 So p will I make my fury toward 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 
 or thy youth, but hast fretted me in all these things; 
 behold, therefore, ' I also will recompense thy way up-

 ami severe judgment 
 
 on thine bend, saith the Lord God: and thoush;dt noi 
 commit this lewdness above .-ill thine abominations. 
 
 44 If Behold every one that uselh proverbs shall 
 use this proverb against thee, saying, As is the 
 mother, so is her daughter. 
 
 45 Thou art thy mother's daughter, that loatheth 
 her husband and her children; and thou art the sis- 
 ter of thy sisters, which loathed their husbands anil 
 their children: "your mother was an Ilittite, and 
 your father an Amorite. 
 
 4G And thine elder sister is Samaria, she and her 
 daughters that dwell at thy left hand: and x fthy 
 younger sister, that dwelleth at thy right hand, is 
 Sodom and her daughters. 
 
 47 Yet hast thou not walked after their ways, 
 nor done after their abominations: but || as if that 
 were a very little thing, y thou wast corrupted more 
 than they, in all thy ways. 
 
 48 As I live, saith the Lord God, x Sodom thy sis- 
 ter hath not done, she nor her daughters, as thou 
 hast done, thou and thy daughters. 
 
 49 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister So- 
 dom, pride, "fulness of bread, and abundance of idle- 
 ness was in her and in her daughters, neither did 
 she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. 
 
 50 And they were haughty, and ''committed abom- 
 ination before me : therefore r I took them away as 
 I saw good. 
 
 51 Neither hath Samaria committed half of thy 
 sins : but thou hast multiplied thine abominations 
 more than they, and ''hast justified thy sisters in all 
 thine abominations which thou hast done. 
 
 52 Thou also, which hast judged thy sisters, bear 
 thine own shame for thy sins that thou hast commit- 
 ted more abominable than they : they are more right- 
 eous than thou: yea, be thou confounded also, and 
 bear thy shame in that thou hast justified thy sisters. 
 
 53 'When I shall bring again their captivity, -^the 
 captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the cap- 
 tivity of Samaria and her daughters, then will 1 
 bring again the captivity of thy captives in the midst 
 of tnem : 
 
 54 That thou mayest bear thine own shame, and 
 may est be confounded in all that thou hast done, in 
 that thou art a a comfort unto 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 f mentioned bv 
 thy mouth in the day of thy \ pride, 
 
 57 Before thy wickedness was discovered, as at 
 the time ot'thg '' reproach of the daughters of f Syria, 
 and all that are round about her, 'the daughters of 
 the Philistines, which || despise thee round about 
 
 58 *Thou hast f borne thy lewdness and thine 
 abominations, saith the Lord. 
 
 59 For thus saith the Lord God : I will even deal 
 with thee as thou hast done, which hast 'despised 
 "'the oath in breaking the covenant. 
 
 60 IT Nevertheless, 1 will "remember my covenant 
 with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will es- 
 tablish unto thee "an everlastine; covenant. 
 
 61 Then ''thou shalt remember thy ways, and be

 elder and thy younger: and I will give them unto 
 thee for "daughters, r but not by thy covenant.

 The parable of the t<ro eagles and the vine. 
 
 AND the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 
 2 Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak 
 a parable unto the house of Israel; 
 
 3 And say, Thus saith the Lord God; "A great 
 eagle with great wings, long-winged, full of fea- 
 thers, which had f divers colours, came unto Leba- 
 non, and Hook the highest branch of the cedar: 
 
 4 He cropped off the top of his young twigs, 
 and carried it into a land of traffic; he set it in a 
 city of merchants. 
 
 5 He took also of the seed of the land, and 
 t planted it in f a fruitful field; he placed it by great 
 waters, and set it ''as a willow-tree. 
 
 6 And it grew, and became a spreading vine 'of 
 low stature, whose branches turned toward him, and 
 the roots thereof were under him : so it became a vine, 
 and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs. 
 
 7 There was also another great eagle with great 
 wings and many feathers: and behold, •'this vine 
 did bend her roots toward him, and shot forth her 
 branches toward him, that he might water it by the 
 furrows of her plantation. 
 
 8 It was planted in a good f soil 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 God; Shall it 
 prosper? s shall he not pull up the roots thereof, and 
 cut off the fruit thereof, that it wither? it shall 
 wither in all the leaves of her spring, 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 touch- 
 eth it? it shall wither in the furrows where it grew. 
 
 11 If Moreover the word of the Lord came unto 
 me, saying, 
 
 12 Say now to 'the rebellious house, Know ye 
 not what these things mean? Tell them, Behold, *the 
 king of Babylon is come to Jerusalem, and hath 
 taken the king thereof, and the princes thereof, 
 and led them with him to Babylon; 
 
 13 'And hath taken of the king's seed, and made 
 a covenant with him, m and hath f taken an oath of 
 him: he hath also taken the mighty of the land : 
 
 14 That the kingdom might be "base, that it 
 might not lift itself up, \but that by keeping of his 
 covenant it might stand. 
 
 15 But " he rebelled against him in sending his 
 ambassadors into Egypt, 'that they might give him 
 hoises and much people. q Shall he prosper? shall 
 he escape that doeth such things? or, shall he break 
 the covenant, and be delivered? 
 
 16 As I live, saith the Lord God, surely r in the place 
 where the king dwelleth that made him king, whose 
 oath he despised, and whose covenant he brake, even 
 with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die. 
 
 17 'Neither shall Pharaoh, with his mighty army 
 and great company, make for him in the war, 'by 
 easting up mounts, and building forts, to cut off 
 munv pei sons .

 The parable of sour grapes 
 
 18 Seeing he despised the oath by breaking 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 God; As 1 
 live, surely mine oath that he hath despised, and 
 my covenant that he hath broken, even it will J 
 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 "will plead with him there for his 
 trespass that he hath trespassed against me. 
 
 21 And : all his fugitives with all his bands shall 
 fall by the sword, and they that remain shall be 
 scattered toward all winds: and ye shall know ';hat 
 I the Lord have spoken it. 
 
 22 H Thus saith the Lord God; I will also take 
 of the highest "branch of the high cedar, and will 
 set it; I will crop off from the top of his young 
 twigs 4 a tender one, and wdl 'plant it upon an high 
 mountain and eminent: 
 
 23 ''In the mountain of the height of Israel will 1 
 plant it : and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear 
 fruit, and be a goodly cedar: and 'under it shall 
 dwell all fowl 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 the Lord •'have brought down the high tree, have 
 exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, 
 and have made the dry tfee to flourish: e I the 
 Lord have spoken and have done it. 
 
 CHAP. XVIII. 
 
 God reproveth the unjust parable of sour grapes. 
 
 HPHE word of the Lord came unto me again, 
 i- saying, 
 
 2 What mean ye, that ye use this proverb con- 
 cerning the land of Israel, saying, The "fathers have 
 eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set 
 on edge? 
 
 3 As I live, saith the Lord God, ye shall not have 
 occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel. 
 
 4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of tie 
 father, so also the soul of the son is mine: 'the soul 
 that sinneth, it shall die. 
 
 5 If But if a man be just, and do f that which is 
 lawful and right, 
 
 6 c And hath not eaten upon the mountains, nei- 
 ther 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 e a menstruous woman. 
 
 7 And hath not J oppressed any, but hath restored 
 to the debtor his A ' pledge, hath spoiled none by vio- 
 lence, hath ''given his bread to the hungry, and hath 
 covered the naked with a garment; 
 
 8 He that hath not given forth upon usury, nei' 
 ther hath taken any increase, that hatb withdrawn 
 his hand from iniquity, ''hath executed true judg- 
 ment between man and man, 
 
 9 Hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept m y 
 judgments, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surety 
 'live, saith the Lord God. 
 
 10 IT If he beget a son that is a || robber, m a shed- 
 der of blood, and || that doeth the like to any one 
 of these things, 
 
 11 And that doeth not any of those duties, but 
 even hath eaten upon the mountains, and defiled 
 his neighbour's wife. 
 
 12 Hath oppressed the poor and needy, hatti 
 spoiled by violence, halh not restored the pledge, 
 
God's justice in punishing 
 
 and hath lifted up his eyes to the idols, hath "com- 
 mitted abomination, 
 
 13 Hath given forth upon usury, and hath taken 
 increase: shall he then live? he shall not live: he 
 nath done all these abominations; he shall surely 
 die; 'his f blood shall be upon him 
 
 c hap. 
 
 14 If Now lo, if he 
 
 beget 
 
 a son, that seeth all 
 
 his father's sins which he hath done, and consider- 
 eth, and doeth not such like, 
 
 15 fi That hath not eaten upon the mountains, nei- 
 ther 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, fhath not with- 
 holden the pledge, neither hath spoiled by violence, 
 but hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath 
 covered the naked with a garment, 
 
 17 That hath taken off his hand from the poor, 
 that hath not received usury nor increase, hath exe- 
 cuted my judgments, hath walked in my statutes; 
 he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he 
 shall surely live. 
 
 18 As for his father, because he cruelly op- 
 pressed, spoiled his brother by violence, and did 
 that which is not good among his people, lo, even 
 » he shall die in his iniquity. 
 
 19 If Yet say ye, Why? '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 my 
 statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live. 
 
 20 ' The 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 right- 
 eousness of the righteous shall be upon him, *and 
 the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. 
 
 21 But »if the wicked will turn from all his sins 
 that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, 
 and do that which is lawful and right, he shall 
 surely live, he shall not die. 
 
 22 z All his transgressions that he hath committed, 
 they shall not be mentioned unto him : in his right- 
 eousness that he hath done he shall live. 
 
 23 "Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked 
 should die? saith the Lord God: and not that he 
 should return from his ways, and live? 
 
 ^4 If But 'when the righteous turneth away 
 from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, 
 and doeth according to all the abominations that 
 the wicked man doeth, shall he live? C A11 his 
 righteousness that he hath done shall not he men- 
 tioned ; in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and 
 in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.

 26 e When a righteous man turneth away from his 
 righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth in

 27 Again, S when the wicked man turneth away

 A lamentation for the prince* of Israel, anil for Jerusalem. 
 
 OllEOVER, "take thou up a lamentation foi 
 the princes of Israel, 
 
 And say, What is thy mother ? A lioness : 6he 
 lay down among lions, she nourished her whelps 
 among young lions. 
 
 3 And she brought up one of her whelps: 4 it 
 became a young lion, and it learned to catch the 
 prey; it devoured men. 
 
 4 The nations also heard of him; he was taken 
 in their pit, and they brought him with chains unto 
 the land of 'Egypt, 
 
 5 Now when she saw that she had waited, and 
 her hope was lost, then she took ''another of her 
 whelps, and made him a young lion. 
 
 6 f And he went up and down among the lions, 
 •^he became a young lion, and learned to catch the 
 prey, and devoured men. 
 
 ( And he knew || their desolate palaces, and he 
 laid waste their cities ; and the land was desolate, 
 and the fulness thereof, 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 w r ard || in chains, and 
 brought him to the king of Babylon: they brought 
 him into holds, that his voice should no more be 
 heard upon *the mountains of Israel. 
 
 10 UThy mother is 'like a vine || in thy blood, 
 planted by the waters: she was '"fruitful and full 
 of branches by reason of many waters. 
 
 11 And she had strong rods for the sceptres of 
 them that bear rule, and her "stature was exalted 
 among the thick branches, and she appeared in her 
 height with the multitude of her 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 consumed them. 
 
 ,13 And now she is planted in the wilderness, in 
 a dry and thirsty ground. 
 
 14 p 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 sceptre to rule. 'This is a lam- 
 entation, and shall be for a lamentation.

 God promiseth to gather the children of Israel by the gospel. 
 
 AND it came to pass in the seventh year, in tho 
 fifth month, the tenth day of the month, thai 
 "certain of the elders of Israel came to inquire of 
 the Lord, and sat before me. 
 
 2 Then came the word of the Lord unto me, saying, 
 
 3 Son of man, speak unto the elders of Israel, 
 and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Are 
 ye come to inquire of me? As I live, saith the Lord 
 God, *I will not be inquired of by } r ou. 
 
 4 Wilt thou || 'judge them, son of man ? wilt thou 
 
 611 
 
Tlie history of Israels 
 
 judge them? rf cause them to know the abominations 
 
 of their fathers : 
 
 5 If And say unto them. Thus saith the Lord 
 God; In the day when f \ chose Israel, and || lifted 
 up mine hand unto the seed of the house of Jacob, 
 and made myself" ^known unto them in the land of 
 Egypt, when I lifted up mine hand unto them, say- 
 ing, A I am the Lord your God : 
 
 6 In the day that I lifted up mine hand unto 
 them, "to bring them forth of the land of Egypt 
 iiito a land that I had espied for them, flowing with 
 milk and honey, 'which is the glory of all lands: 
 
 7 Then said I unto them, * Cast ye away every man 
 ' the abominations of his eyes, and defile not yourselves 
 with '" the idols of Egypt: I am the Lord your God. 
 
 8 But they rebelled against me, and would not 
 hearken unto me : they did not ever}' man cast away 
 the abominations of their eyes, neither did they for- 
 sake the idols of Egypt: then I said, I will ri pour 
 out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger 
 against them in the midst of the land of Egypt. 
 
 9 • But I wrought for my name's sake, that it should 
 not be polluted before the heathen, among whom 
 they were, in whose sight I made myself known unto 
 them, in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt. 
 
 1 If Wherefore, I/caused them to go forth out of the 
 land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness. 
 
 11 ''And I gave them my statutes, and f shewed 
 them my judgments, 'which if a man do, he shall 
 even live in them. 
 
 12 Moreover, also I gave them my 'sabbaths to be 
 a sign between me and them, that they might know 
 that I am the Lord that sanctify them. 
 
 13 If But the house of Israel 'rebelled against me in 
 the wilderness : they walked not in my statutes, 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 y wilderness, to consume them. 
 
 14 z But I wrought for my name's sake, that it 
 should not be polluted before the heathen, in whose 
 sight I brought them out. 
 
 15 Yet also a I lifted up my band unto them in 
 the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the 
 land which I had given them, flowing with milk and 
 honey, 'which is the glory of all lands; 
 
 16 c Because they despised my judgments, and 
 walked not in my statutes, but polluted my sab- 
 baths : for ''their heart went after their idols. 
 
 17 e Nevertheless mine eye spared them from 
 destroying them, neither did I make an end of them 
 in the wilderness. 
 
 18 But I said unto their children in the wilder- 
 ness, Walk ye not in the statutes of your fathers, 
 neither observe their judgments, nor defile your- 
 selves with their idols : 
 
 19 I am the Lord your God ; -''walk in my stat- 
 utes, and keep my judgments, 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 the Loud your God. 
 
 21 Notwithstanding, Hhe children rebelled against 
 me : they walked not in my statutes, neither kept my 
 judgments to do them, 'which if a man do, he shall 
 even live in them: they polluted my sabbaths: then

 m wrought 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 1 lilted up mine hand unto them also in the 
 wilderness, that "I would scatter them amona - the 
 heathen, and disperse them through the countries; 
 
 24 "Because they had not executed my judgments, 
 but had despised my statutes, and had polluted my 
 sabbaths, and ''their eyes were after their fathers' idols. 
 
 25 Wherefore ' I gave them also statutes that were. 
 not good, and judgments whereby they should not 
 live; 
 
 26 And I polluted them in their own gifts, in that 
 they caused to pass r through the fi re all that openeth 
 the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the 
 end that they 'might know that I am the Lord. 
 
 27 If Therefore, son of man, speak unto the house 
 of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord 
 God, Yet in this your fathers have 'blasphemed me, 
 in that they have f committed a trespass against me. 
 
 28 For when I had brought them into the land, 
 for the which I lifted up mine 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 their 
 offering: there also they made their * sweet savour, 
 and poured out there their drink-offerings. 
 
 29 Then || I said unto them, What- is the high 
 place whereunto ye go? and the name thereof is 
 called Bamah unto this day. 
 
 30 Wherefore, say unto the house of Israel, Thus 
 saith the Lord God; Are ye polluted after the man- 
 ner of your fathers? and commit ye whoredom after 
 their abominations? 
 
 31 For when ye offer y your gifts, when ye make 
 3'our sons to pass through the fire, ye pollute your- 
 selves with all } r our idols, even unto this day : and 
 'shall I be inquired of by you, O house of Israel? 
 As I live, saith the Lord God, I will not be inquired 
 of by you. 
 
 32 And that" which cometh into your mind shull not 
 be at all, that ye say, We will be as the heathen, as 
 the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone 
 
 33 ^As I live, saith the Lord God, 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 wilderness of the 
 people, and there r will I plead with you face to face 
 
 36 d Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the 
 wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I plead 
 with you, saith the Lord God. 
 
 37 And I will cause you to 'pass under the rod, 
 and I will bring you into || the bond of the covenant: 
 
 38 And J I will purge out from among you the 
 rebels, and them that transgressed against me : I will 
 bring them forth out of the country where they so- 
 
 irn, and *the} r shall not enter into the land of 
 Israel: A and } r e shall know that I am the Lord. 
 
 39 As for you, O house of Israel, thus saith the 
 Lord God; 'Go ye, serve ye every one his idols, 
 and hereafter also, if ye will not hearken unto me: 
 
 but pollute ye my holy name no more with youi 
 gifts, and with your idols. 
 
 40 For 'in mine holy mountain, in the mountain oi 
 
Jerusalem's destruction forcshevm : 
 
 the height of Israel, saitfa the Lord God, there shall 
 all the liouse of Israel, all of them in the land, serve 
 lie: 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 f "sweet savour, 
 when I bring you out from the people, and gather you 
 out of the countries wherein ye have been scattered ; 
 and I will be sanctified in you before the heathen. 
 
 42 "And ye shall know that I am the Lord/ when 
 I shall bring^ you into the land of Israel, into the 
 country for the which I lifted up mine 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 yourselves in your own sight 
 for all your evils that ye have committed. 
 
 44 'And ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I 
 have wrought with you 'for my name's sake, not ac- 
 cording to your wicked ways, nor according to your 
 corrupt doings, ye house of IsraeLsaith the LordGon. 
 
 45 H Moreover the word of the Lord came unto 
 me, saying, 
 
 46 "Son of man, set thy face toward the south, 
 and drop thy word toward the south, and prophesy 
 against the forest of the south field ; 
 
 47 And say to the forest of the south, Hear the 
 word of the Lord; Thus saith the Lord God; Be- 
 hold, x I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour 
 y every green tree in thee, and every dry tree: the 
 flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces 
 'from the south to the north shall be burned therein. 
 
 48 And all flesh shall see that I the Lord have 
 'indled it : it shall not be quenched. 
 
 49 Then said I, Ah Lord God ! they say of me, 
 Doth he not speak parables ?

 Ezekiel prophesielh against Jerusalem with a sign of sighing. 
 
 AND the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 
 2 " Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, 
 and 'drop thy word toward the holy places, and pro- 
 phesy against the land of Israel, 
 
 3 And say to the land of Israel, Thus saith the 
 Lord; Behold, I am against thee, and will draw 
 forth my sword out of his sheath, and will cut off 
 from thee e the righteous and the wicked. 
 
 4 Seeing then that I will cut off from thee the 
 righteous and the wicked, therefore shall my sword 
 go forth out of his sheath against all flesh ''from the 
 south to the north: 
 
 5 That all flesh may know that I the Lord have 
 drawn forth my sword out of his sheath : it e shall 
 not return any more. 
 
 6 -/"Sigh therefore, thou son of man, with the 
 breaking of thy loins; and with bitterness sigh 
 before their eyes. 
 
 7 And it shall be, when they say unto thee, 
 Wherefore sighest thou? that thou shalt answer, 
 For the tidings, because it cometh : and every 
 heart shall melt, and ff all hands shall be feeble, and 
 every spirit shall faint, and all knees f shall be weak 
 as water: behold, it cometh, and shall be brought 
 to pass, saith the Lord God.

 A prophecy ayainst ner 
 
 10 It is sharpened to make a sore slaughter, it is 
 furbished that it may glitter; should we then mak* 
 mirth ? || it contemneth the rod of my son, as every tree. 
 
 11 And he hath given it to be furbished, that it 
 may be handled : this sword is sharpened, and it \a 
 furbished, to give it into the hand of 'the slayer. 
 
 12 Cry and howl, son of man: for it shall be 
 upon my people, it shall be upon all the princes of 
 Israel : || terrors by reason of the sword shall be upon 
 my people : * smite therefore upon thy thigh. 
 
 13 || Because it is 'a trial, and what if the sword 
 contemn even the rod? m it shall be no more, saith 
 the Lord God. 
 
 14 Thou, therefore, son of man, prophesy, and 
 " smite thine f hands together, and let the sword be 
 doubled the third time, the sword of the slain: it 
 is the sword of the great men that are slain, which 
 entereth into their "privy chambers. 
 
 15 1 have set the II point of the sword against all 
 their gates, that their heart may faint, and their 
 ruins be multiplied: ah! p ib is made bright, it is 
 II wrapped up for the slaughter. 
 
 16 ' y Go thee one way or other, either on the right 
 hand, \or on the left, whithersoever thy face is set. 
 
 17 I will also r smite mine hands together, and 'J 
 will cause my fury to rest : I the Lord have said it. 
 
 18 II The word of the Lord came unto me again 
 saying, 
 
 19 Also, thou son of man, appoint thee twn 
 ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may 
 come : both twain shall come forth out of one land : 
 and choose thou a place, choose it at the head of 
 the way to the city. 
 
 20 Appoint a way, that the swwd may come to 
 'Rabbath of the Ammonites, and to Judah in Jeru- 
 salem the defenced. 
 
 21 For the king of Babylon stood at the f part- 
 ing of the way, at the head of the two Avays, to use 
 divination ; he made his II arrows bright, he consulted 
 with f images, he looked in the liver. 
 
 22 At his right hand was the divination for Jeru- 
 salem, to appoint || f captains, to open the mouth in 
 the slaughter, to "lift up the voice with shouting, 
 ^to appoint battering rams against the gates, to cast 
 a mount, and to build a fort. 
 
 23 And it shall be unto them as a false divina- 
 tion in their sight, || to them that y have sworn oaths : 
 but he will call to remembrance the iniquity, that 
 they may be taken. 
 
 24 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Because 
 ye have made your iniquity to be remembered, in 
 that your transgressions are discovered, so that in 
 all your doings your sins do appear; because, I say, 
 that ye are come to remembrance, ye shall be taken 
 with the hand. 
 
 25 IT And thou, z profane wicked prince of Israel, 
 "whose day is come, when iniquity shall have an end, 
 
 26 Thus saith the Lord God; Remove the diadem, 
 and take off the crown : this shall not be the same : 
 6 exalt him that is low, and abase him that is high. 
 
 27 fl will overturn, overturn, overturn it: r and 
 it shall be no more, until he come w^ose right it is; 
 and I will give it him. 
 
 28 HAnd thou, son of man, prophesy and say. 
 Thus saith the Lord God ''concerning the Ammon- 
 ites, and concerning their reproach; even say thou, 
 'The sword, the sword is drawn: for the slaughter 
 it is furbished, to consume because of the glittering ;

 come, when their iniquity shall have an end. 
 
 30 || A Shall I cause # to return into his sheath? 'I 
 will judge thee in the place where thou wast crea- 
 ted, * in' the land of. thy nativity. 
 
 31 And I will 'pour out mine indignation upon 
 thee, I will "blow against thee in the fire of my 
 tvrath, and deliver thee into the hand of || brutish 
 men, and skilful to destroy. 
 
 32 Thou shall be for fuel to the fire; thy blood 
 shall be in the midst of the land; "thou shalt be no 
 more remembered : for I the Lord have spoken it.

 me, saying, 
 
 2 Now, thou son of man, "wilt thou II judge, wilt 
 thou judge 6 the f bloody city? yea, thou shalt 
 f shew her all her abominations. 
 
 3 Then say thou, Thus saith the Lord God; The 
 city sheddeth blood in the midst of it, that her 
 time may come, and maketh idols against herself to 
 defile herself. 
 
 4 Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou 
 hast c shed; and hast defiled thyself in thine idols 
 which thou hast made; and thou hast caused thy 
 days to draw near, and art come even unto thy years : 
 d therefore have I made thee a reproach unto the 
 heathen, and a mocking to all countries. 
 
 5 Those that be near, and those that he far from 
 thee, shall mock thee, which art f infamous and much 
 vexed. 
 
 6 Behold, 'the princes of Israel, every one were 
 in thee to their f power to shed blood. 
 
 7 In thee have they -'set light by father and 
 mother: in the midst of thee have they s dealt by 
 II oppression with the stranger : in thee have the}' 
 vexed the fatherless and the widow. 
 
 8 Thou hast A despised mine holy things, and hast 
 'profaned my sabbaths. 
 
 9 In thee are f*men that carry tales to shed 
 blood: 'and in thee they eat upon the mountains: in 
 the midst of thee they commit lewdness. 
 
 10 In thee have they '"discovered their father's 
 nakedness : in thee have they humbled her that was 
 " set apart for pollution. 
 
 11 And || one hath committed abomination "with 
 his neighbour's wife; and || another * hath || lewdly 
 defiled his daughter-in-law; and another in thee hath 
 humbled his 'sister, his father's daughter. 
 
 12 In thee r have they taken gifts to shed blood; 
 'thou hast taken usury and increase, and thou hast 
 Greedily gained of thy neighbours by extortion, and 
 'hast forgotten me, saith the Lord God. 
 
 13 U Behold, therefore I have "smitten mine hand 
 at thy dishonest gain which thou hast made, and 
 at thy blood which hath been in the midst of thee. 
 
 14 'Can thine heart endure, or can thine hands 
 be strong, in the days that I shall deal w r ith thee ? 
 "I the Lord have spoken it, and will do it. 
 
 15 And Z I will scatter thee among the heathen, 
 and disperse thee in the countries, and "will con- 
 sume thy filthiness out of thee.

 become dross : all they are brass, and tin, and iron, 
 and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they are even 
 the f dross of silver. 
 
 19 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Because 
 ye are all become dross, behold, therefore I wiJl 
 gather you into the midst of Jerusalem. 
 
 20 \ As 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 anger and in my fury, and I will leave 
 you there, and melt you. 
 
 21 Yea, I will gather you, and ''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 fur- 
 nace, so shall ye be melted in the midst thereof; 
 and ye shall know that I the Lord have e poured out 
 my fury upon you. 
 
 23 II" And the word of the Lord came unto me, 
 saying, 
 
 24 Son of man, say unto 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 ravening the prey; 
 they *have devoured souls; Hhey have taken the 
 treasure and precious things ; they have made her 
 many widows in the midst thereof. 
 
 26 'Her priests have f violated my law, and have 
 k profaned mine holy things: they have put no 'dif- 
 ference between the holy and profane, neither have 
 they shewed difference between the unclean an! 
 the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sab- 
 baths, and I am profaned among them. 
 
 27 Her ""princes in the midst thereof are like 
 wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to de- 
 stroy souls, to get dishonest gain. 
 
 28 And "her prophets have daubed them with 
 untempered mortar, "seeing vanity, and divining 
 lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord God, 
 when the Lord hath not spoken. 
 
 29 ''The people of the land have used || oppres- 
 sion, and exercised robbery, and have vexed the 
 poor and needy: yea, they have ''oppressed the 
 stranger f wrongfully. 
 
 30 'And I sought for a man among them, that 
 should '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 indigna- 
 tion upon them; I have consumed them with the 
 fire of my wrath: i their own way have 1 recom- 
 pensed upon their heads, saith the Lord God 
 
 CHAP. XXIII. 
 
 The whoredoms of Aholah and Aholibah. 
 
 T^HE word of the Lord came ae:ain unto 
 
 A 
 
 came again 
 
 me, 
 
 saying, 
 
 2 Son of man, there were "two women, the 
 daughters of one mother: 
 
 3 And 'they committed whoredoms in Egypt; 
 they committed whoredoms in 'their youth: there 
 were their breasts pressed, and there they bruised 
 the teats of their virginity. 
 
 4 And the names of them were Aholah the elder, 
 and Aholibah her sister; and ''thev were mine, and 
 
The whoredoms of Aholah and Aholihah. 
 
 CHAP. XX11J 
 
 they bare sons and daughters. Thus were their 
 names; Samaria w || Aholah, and Jerusalem || Aholibah. 
 
 5 And Aholah played the harlot when she was 
 mine; and she doted on her lovers, on 'the Assy- 
 rians her neighbours, 
 
 6 Which were clothed with blue, captains and 
 rulets, all of them desirable young men, horsemen 
 ridi^gupon horses. 
 
 7 Thus she t committed her whoredoms with 
 them, with all them that were fthe ehosen men of 
 Assyria, and with all on whom she doted; with all 
 their idols she defiled herself. 
 
 8 Neither left she her whoredoms brought -'"from 
 Egypt: for in her youth they lay with her, and 
 they bruised the breasts of her virginity, and 
 poured their whoredom upon her. 
 
 9 Wherefore, I have delivered her into the hand 
 of her lovers, into the hand of the B Assyrians, upon 
 whom she doted. 
 
 10 These A discovered her nakedness: they took 
 her sons and her daughters, and slew her with the 
 sword: and she became f famous among women; 
 for they had executed judgment upon her. 
 
 11 And ' when her sister Aholibah saw this, * t sne 
 was more corrupt in her inordinate love than she, 
 and in her whoredoms f more than her sister in her 
 whoredoms. 
 
 12 She doted upon the 'Assyrians her neigh- 
 bours, "captains and rulers clothed most gorgeously, 
 horsemen riding upon 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 whoredoms : for 
 when she saw men portrayed upon the wall, the 
 images of the Chaldeans portrayed with vermilion, 
 
 15 Girded with girdles upon their loins, exceed- 
 ing in dyed attire upon their heads, all of them 
 
 {irinces to look to, after the manner of the Baby- 
 onians of Chaldea, the land of their nativity : 
 
 16 "And t?u3 soon as she saw them with her 
 eyes, she doted upon them, and sent messengers 
 unto them into Chaldea. 
 
 17 And the f Babylonians came to her into the 
 bed of love, and they defiled her with their whore- 
 dom, and she was polluted with them, and "her 
 mind was f alienated from them. 
 
 18 So she discovered her whoredoms, and discover- 
 ed her nakedness : then p my mind was alienated from 
 her, like as my mind was alienated from her sister. 
 
 19 Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, in calling 
 to remembrance the days of her youth, 'wherein 
 she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt. 
 
 20 For she doted upon their paramours, 'whose 
 flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like 
 the issue of horses. 
 
 21 Thus thou calledst to remembrance the lewd- 
 ness of thy youth, in bruising thy teats by the 
 Eg3 r ptians for the paps of thy youth. 
 
 22 IT Therefore, Aholibah, thus saith the Lord 
 God; 'Behold, I will raise up thy lovers against 
 *.hee, from whom thy mind is alienated, and 1 will 
 oring them against thee on eveiy side; 
 
 23 The Babylonians, and all the Chaldeans, 'Pe- 
 Kod, and Shoa, and Koa, and all the Assyrians with 
 them: ''all of them desirable young men, captains 
 and rulers, great lords and renowned, all of them 
 riding upon horses

 24 And they shall come against thee with chariots, 
 wagons, and wheels, and with an assembly of peo- 
 ple, which shall set against thee buckler and shield 
 and helmet round about: 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 shall take thy sons 
 and thy daughters; and thy residue shall be de- 
 voured by the fire. 
 
 26 ^They shall also strip thee out of thy clothes, 
 and take away thy \ fair jewels. 
 
 27 Thus 'will I make thy lewdness to cease 
 from thee, and *thy whoredom brought from the 
 land of Egypt : so that thou shalt not lift up thine 
 eyes unto them, nor remember Egypt any more. 
 
 28 For thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will deliv- 
 er thee into the hand of them " Avhom thou hatest, into 
 the hand of them 4 from whom thy mind is alienated* 
 
 29 And they shall deal with thee hatefully, and 
 shall take away all thy labour, and c shall leave thee 
 naked and bare : and the nakedness of thy whore- 
 doms shall be discovered, both thy lewdness and 
 thy whoredoms. 
 
 30 I will do these things unto thee, because thou 
 hast ''gone a whoring 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 thine hand. 
 
 32 Thus saith the Lord God; Thou shalt drink of 
 thy sister's cup deep and large : -^thou shalt be laugh- 
 ed to scorn and had in derision; it containeth much. 
 
 33 Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and 
 sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desola- 
 tion, with the cup of thy sister Samaria. 
 
 34 Thou shalt ^even clrink it and suck it out, 
 and thou shalt break the sherds thereof, and pluck 
 off thine own breasts : for I have spoken it, saith 
 the Lord God. 
 
 35 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Because 
 thou *hast forgotten me, and -cast me behind thy 
 back, therefore bear thou also thy lewdness and 
 thy whoredoms. 
 
 36 IT The Lord said, moreover, unto me ; Son of 
 man, wilt thou k || judge Aholah and Aholibah ? yea, 
 'declare unto them their abominations; 
 
 37 That they have committed adultery, and 
 m blood is in their hands, and Avith their idols have 
 they committed adultery, and have also caused their 
 sons, " whom they bare unto me, to pass for them 
 through the fire, to devour them. 
 
 38 Moreover, this they have done unto me : they 
 have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and 
 "have profaned my sabbaths. 
 
 39 For when they had slain their children tc 
 their idols, then they came the same day into mv 
 sanctuary to profane it; and lo, '"thus have they 
 done in the midst of mine house. 
 
 40 And furthermore, that ye have sent for men 
 f to come from far, ? unto whom a messenger wm 
 sent; and lo, they came : for whom thou didst 'wash 
 thyself, 'paintedst thy eyes, and deckedst thyself 
 with ornaments.

 prepared before it, "whereupon thou hast set mine

 42 And a voice of a multitude being at ease was 
 with her: and with the men fof the common sort 
 were brought il Sabeana from the wilderness, which 
 put bracelets upon their hands, and beautiful crowns 
 upon their heads. 
 
 43 Then said I unto her that was old in adulte- 
 ries, Will they now commit f whoredoms with her, 
 and she with thou ? 
 
 44 Yet they went in unto her, as they go in unto 
 a woman that playcth the harlot: so went they in 
 unto Aliolah and unto Aholibah, the lewd women. 
 
 45 II And the righteous men, they shall 'judge 
 them after the manner of adulteresses, and after the 
 manner of women that shed blood; because they 
 are adulteresses, and y blood is in their hands. 
 
 46 For thus saith the Lord God; z I will 
 up a company upon them, and will give them fto 
 be removed and spoiled. 
 
 47 "And the company shall stone them with 
 stones, and || despatch them with their swords; 
 'they shall slay their sons and their daughters, and 
 burn up their houses with fire. 
 
 48 Thus 'will I cause lewdness to cease out of 
 the land, ''that all women may be taught not to do 
 after your lewdness. 
 
 49 And they shall recompense your lewdness 
 upon you, and ye shall 'bear the sins of vour idols: 
 'and ye shall know that I am the Lord God.

 fly a boiling pot, is shewed Jerusalem's destruction. 
 
 AGAIN in the ninth year, in the tenth month, 
 in the tenth day of the month, the word of the 
 Lord came unto me, saying, 
 
 2 Son of man, write thee the name of the day, 
 even of this same day: the king of Babylon set 
 himself against Jerusalem "this same day. 
 
 3 *And utter a parable unto the rebellious house, 
 and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; 'Set 
 on a pot, set it on, and also pour water into it : 
 
 4 Gather the pieces thereof into it, even every 
 good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with 
 .he choice bones. 
 
 5 Take the choice of the flock, and || burn also 
 die bones under it, and make it boil well, and let 
 them seethe the bones of it therein. 
 
 6 H Wherefore thus saith the Lord God; Wo to 
 •'the bloody city, to the pot whose scum is therein, 
 and Whose scum 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 upon 
 the ground, to cover it with dust; 
 
 8 That it might cause fury to come up to take 
 vengeance; 'I have set her blood upon the top of a 
 rock, that it should not be covered. 
 
 9 Therefore thus saith the Lord God ; * Wo to the 
 bloody city ! I will even make the pile for fire great. 
 
 10 Heap on wood, kindle the fire, consume the 
 flesh, and spice it well, and let the bones be burned. 
 
 11 Then set it empty upon the coals thereof, 
 that the brass of it may be hot, and may burn, and 
 that 'the filthiness of it may be molten in it, that 
 tne scum of it may be consumed. 
 
 12 She hath wearied herself with lies, and her 
 great scum went not forth out of her: her scum 
 shall be in the fire. 
 
 13 In thy filthiness is lewdness: because I have 
 purged thee, and thou wast not purged, thou shalt

 The Jews' satnr/v'b, 
 
 not be purged from thy filthiness any more k till 1 
 have caused my fury to rest upon thee. 
 
 14 'I the Lord nave spoken it: it shall come to 
 pass, and I will do it; I will not go back, "neither 
 will I spare, neither will I repent; according to thy 
 ways, and according to thy doings, shall they judge 
 thee, saith the Lord God. 
 
 15 IT Also the word of the Lord came unto 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 
 t run down. 
 
 17 | Forbear to cry, "make no mourning for the 
 dead, "bind the tire of thine head upon thee, and 
 ''put on thy shoes upon thy feet, and 'cover not thy 
 f lips, and eat not the bread of men. 
 
 18 So I spake unto the people in the morning: 
 and at even my wife died; and I did in the morn- 
 ins; as I was commanded. 
 
 19 If And the people said unto me, r Wilt thou not 
 tell us what these things are to us, that thou doest so? 
 
 20 Then I answered them, The word of the Lord 
 came unto me, saying, 
 
 21 Speak unto the house of Israel, Thus saith 
 the Lord God; Behold, 'I will profane my sanctu- 
 ary, the excellency of your strength, 'the desire of 
 your eyes, and ftnat which your soul pitieth; "ana 
 your sons and your daughters whom ye have left 
 shall fall by the sword. 
 
 22 And ye shall do as I have done: x ye shall 
 not covei your lips, nor eat the bread of men. 
 
 23 And your tires shall be upon your heads, and 
 your shoes upon your feet: y ye shall not mourn 
 nor weep; but z ye shall pine away for your inhpii- 
 ties, and mourn one toward another. 
 
 24 Thus "Ezekiel is unto you a sign: according 
 to all that he hath done shall ye do: *and whei 
 this cometh, 'ye shall know that I am the Lord Gor 
 
 25 Also, thou son of man, shall it not be in the day 
 when I take from them ''their strength, the jcy of their 
 glory, the desire of their eyes, and f that whereupon 
 they set their minds, their sons and their daughters, 
 
 26 That 'he that escapeth in that day shall come 
 unto thee, to cause thee to hear it with thine ears? 
 
 27 ■'In that day shall thy mouth be opened to 
 him which is escaped, and thou shalt speak, and be 
 no more dumb: and A 'thou shalt be a sign unto 
 them; and they shall know that I am the Lord.

 Edom hath dealt against the house of Judah fby 
 taking vengeance, and hath greatly offended, and 
 revenged himself upon them ; 
 
 13 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; I will 
 also stretch out mine hand upon Edom, and will cut 
 off man and beast from it; and I will make it deso- 
 late from Teman ; and || they of Dedan shall fall by 
 the sword. 
 
 14 And ''1 will lay my vengeance upon Edom by 
 the hand of my people Israel : and they shall do in 
 Edom according to mine anger and according to my 
 finy ; and they shall know my vengeance, saith the 
 Lord God. 
 
 15 II Thus saith the Lord God; ? Because r the 
 Philistines have dealt by revenge, and have taken 
 vengeance with a despiteful heart, to destroy it 
 || for the old hatred ; 
 
 16 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, 
 '1 will stretch out mine hand upon the Philistines, 
 and I will cut off the 'Cherethims, "and destroy the 
 remnant of the || sea coasts. 
 
 17 And 1 will ^execute great f vengeance upon them 
 with furious rebukes ; y and they shall know that law 
 the Lo T) /, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.

 Ti/rus, for insulting against Jerusalem, is threatened. 
 
 AND it came to pass in the eleventh year, in 
 the first day of the month, that the word of the 
 Lord came unto me, saying, 
 
 2 Son of man, "because that Tyrus hath said 
 against Jerusalem, 6 Aha, she is broken that was the 
 gates of the people : she is turned unto me : I shall 
 be replenished, now she is laid waste : 
 
 3 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, 
 I am against thee, Tyrus, and will cause many 
 nations to come up against thee, as the sea causeth 
 Ins waves to come up. 
 
 4 And they shall destroy the walls of Tyrus, 
 and break down her towers : I will also scrape her 
 dust from her, and c make her like the top of a rock. 
 
 5 It shall be a place for the spreading of nets rf in 
 the midst of the sea : for I have spoken it, saith the 
 Lord God : and it shall become a spoil to the nations. 
 
 6 And her daughters which are in the field shall 
 be slain by the sword; f and they shall know that I 
 am the Lord.

 7 IT For thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will 
 bring upon Tyrus, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, 
 •^a king of kings, from the north, with horses, and 
 with chariots, and with horse-men, and companies, 
 and much people. 
 
 8 He shall slay with the sword thy daughters in 
 the field: and he shall *make a fort against thee, 
 and || cast a mount against thee, and lift up the 
 buckler against thee. 
 
 9 And he shall set engines of war 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-men, and of the wheels, and of 
 the chariots, when he shall enter into thy gates, 
 fas men enter into a city wherein is made a breach. 
 
 11 With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down 
 all thy streets : he shall slay thy people by the sword, 
 and thy strong garrisons shall go down to the ground 
 
 12 And they shall make a spoil of thy riches, 
 and make a prey of thy merchandize : and they 
 shall break down thy walls, and destroy f thy plea- 
 sant houses : and they shall lay thy stones and thy 
 timber, and thy dust, in the midst of the water. 
 
 13 ''And I will cause 'he noise of 'thy songs 
 to cease; and the sound of thy harps shall be no 
 more heard. 
 
 14 And *I will make thee like the top of a rock: 
 thou shalt be a place to spread nets upon; thou 
 shalt be built no more : for 1 the Lord have spoken 
 it, saith the Lord God. 
 
 15 II Thus saith the Lord God to Tyrus; ShaL 
 not the isles 'shake at the sound of thy fall, when 
 the Avounded cry, when the slaughter is made in 
 the midst of thee ? 
 
 16 Then all the m princes of the sea shall r oome 
 down from their thrones, and lay away their robes, 
 and put off their broidered garments: they shall 
 clothe themselves with t trembling; "they shall sit 
 upon the ground, and p shall tremble at every moment, 
 and ? be astonished at thee. 
 
 17 And they shall take up a r lamentation for thee, 
 and say to thee, How art thou destroyed, that wast 
 inhabited f of seafaring men, the renowned city, 
 wtiich wast ' strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, 
 which cause their terror to be on all that haunt it! 
 
 18 Now, shall 'the isles tremble in the day of 
 thy fall; yea, the isles that are in the sea shall be 
 troubled at thy departure. 
 
 19 For thus saith the Lord God; When I shall 
 make thee a desolate city, like the cities that are 
 not inhabited; when I shall bring up the deep 
 upon thee, and great waters shall cover thee; 
 
 20 When I shall bring thee down "with them 
 that descend into the pit, with the people of old 
 time, and shall set thee in the low parts of the 
 earth, in places desolate of old, Avith them that go 
 down to the pit, that thou be not inhabited ; and 1 
 shall set glory '"in the land of the living; 
 
 21 ^1 will make thee fa terror, and thou shalt h». 
 no more: x though thou be sought for, yet shalt 
 thou never be found again, saith the Lord God.

 ] The rich supply of Tynis. 26 The irrecoverable fall thereof. 
 
 THE word of the Lord came again unto me, saying* 
 2 Now, thou son of man, " take up a lamentation 
 for Tyrus; 
 
 3 And say unto Tyrus,* O thnu that art situate at the 
 
 617 
 
The rich supply of Tyrus: 
 
 antry of the sea, which art 'a merchant of the 
 people for many isles, thus saith the Lord God; 
 Tyrus, thou hast said, d I am fof perfect beauty. 
 
 4 Thy borders are in the f midst of the seas, thy 
 builders have perfected thy beauty. 
 
 5 They have f made all thy s^pboards of fir-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 ; lit the company of the Ashurites have made thy 
 benches of ivory, brought out of / the isles of Chittim. 
 
 7 Fine linen with broidered work from Egypt 
 was that which thou spreadest forth to be thy sail; 
 II blue and purple from the isles of Elishah was that 
 which covered thee. 
 
 8 The inhabitants of Zidon and Arvad were thy 
 mariners: thy wise men, Tyrus, that were in 
 thee, were thy pilots. 
 
 9 The ancients of ^Gebal and the wise men 
 thereof were in thee thy Hfcalkers: all the ships 
 of the sea with their mariners were in thee to 
 occupy thy merchandise. 
 
 10 They of Persia, and of Lud, and of A Phut, 
 were in thine army, thy men of war : they hanged 
 the shield and helmet in thee; they set forth thy 
 comeliness. 
 
 11 The men of Arvad with thine army were upon 
 thy walls round about, and the Gammadims were in 
 thy towers : they hanged their shields upon thy walls 
 round about; they have made 'thy beauty perfect. 
 
 12 *Tarshish was thy merchant by reason of the 
 multitude of all kind of riches; with silver, iron, 
 tin, and lead, they traded in thy fairs. 
 
 13 'Javan, Tubal, and Meshech, they were thy 
 merchants: they traded "'the persons of men and 
 vessels of brass in thy || market. 
 
 14 They of the house of "Togarmah traded in 
 thy fairs with horses and horsemen and mules. 
 
 15 The men of "Dedan were thy merchants; 
 many isles were the merchandise of thine hand : they 
 brought thee for a present, horns of ivory and ebony. 
 
 16 Syria was thy merchant by reason of the 
 multitude of t the wares of thy making : they occu- 
 pied in thy fairs with emeralds, purple, and bnei- 
 dered work, and fine linen, and coral, and f agate. 
 
 17 Judah, and the land of Israel, they were thy 
 merchants: they traded, in thy market, ''wheat of 
 'Minnith and Pannag, and honey, and oil, and r ||balm. 
 
 18 Damascus was thy merchant in the multitude 
 of the wares of thy making, for the multitude of all 
 riches; in the wine of Helbon, and white wool. 
 
 19 Dan also and Javan || going to and fro occu- 
 pied in thy fairs : bright iron, cassia, and calamus, 
 were in thy market. 
 
 20 'Dedan was thy merchant in f precious clothes 
 for chariots. 
 
 21 Arabia, and all the princes of 'Kedar, fthey 
 occupied with thee in lambs, and rams, and goats: 
 in these ivere they thy merchants. 
 
 22 The merchants of "Sheba and Raarnah, they 
 were thy merchants : they occupied in thy fairs with 
 chief of all spices,and with all precious stones,and gold. 
 
 23 * Haran, and Canneh, and Eden, the merchants 
 of y Sheba, Asshur, and Chilmad, were thy merchants. 
 
 2 1 These were thy merchants in || all sorts of 
 thing*, in blue f clothes, and broidered work, and in 
 .'hests of rich apparel, bound with cords, and made 
 of cedar, among thy merchandise

 CHAP. XXVIII. 
 
 1 God's judgment upon the prince of Tgrus for his impious pride. 
 20 The judgment of Zidon, §c. 
 
 THE word of the Lord came again unto me 
 saying, 
 
 2 Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, 
 Thus saith the Lord God; Because thine heart is 
 lifted up, and "thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in 
 the seat of God, 6 in the t midst of the seas; c yet 
 thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine 
 heart as the heart of God : 
 
 3 Behold, ''thou art wiser than Daniel; there is 
 no secret that they can hide from thee : 
 
 4 With thy wisdom and with thine understand- 
 ing thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten 
 gold and silver into thy treasures : 
 
 5 t'By thy great wisdom and hy thy traffick, 
 hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is 
 lifted up because of thy riches : 
 
 6 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Because 
 thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God ; 
 
 7 Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon 
 thee, y the terrible of the nations: and they shall 
 draw their swords against the beauty of thy wis- 
 dom, and they shall defile thy brightness. 
 
 8 They shall bring thee down to the pit. and thou 
 
 I 
 

 me, saying, 
 
 12 Son of man, ' take up a lamentation upon the 
 king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the 
 Lord God; *Thou sealest up the sum, full of wis- 
 dom, and perfect in beauty. 
 
 13 Thou hast been in 'Eden the garden of God: 
 every precious stone was thy covering, the || sardius, 
 topaz, and the diamond, the || beryl, the onyx, and 
 the jasper, the sapphire, the || emerald, and the car- 
 buncle, and gold : the workmanship of m thy tabrets 
 and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day 
 that thou wast created. 
 
 14 Thou art the anointed "cherub that covereth; 
 and I have set thee so: thou wast upon "the holy 
 mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down 
 in the midst of the stones of fire. 
 
 15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day 
 that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. 
 
 16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have 
 filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast 
 sinned : therefore I will cast thee as profane out of 
 the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, ^0 
 covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. 
 
 17 'Thine heart was lifted up because of thy 
 beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason 
 of thy brightness : 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 multi- 
 tude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy trafiick ; 
 therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of 
 thee, it shall devour thee, and 1 will bring thee to ashes 
 upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. 
 
 19 All they that know thee among the people 
 shall be astonished at thee: 'thou shalt be f a ter- 
 ror, and never shalt thou be any more. 
 
 20 H Again the word of the Lord came unto me, 
 Baying, 
 
 21 Son of man, 'set thy face 'against Zidon, and 
 prophesy against it, 
 
 22 And say, Thus saith the Lord God; "Behold, 
 1 am against thee, Zidon; and 1 will be gloried 
 in the midst of thee: and 'they shall know that I 
 am the Lord, when I shall have executed judgments 
 in her, and shall be y sanctified in her. 
 
 23 z For I will send into her pestilence, and blood 
 into her streets; and the wounded shall be judged 
 in the midst of her by the sword upon her on every 
 side ; and they shall know that I am the Lord. 
 
 24 11 And there shall be no more "a pricking brier 
 anto the house of Israel, nor an// grieving thorn of 
 all that are round about them that despised them; 
 and they shall know that I am the Lord God. 
 
 25 Thus saith the Lord God; When I shall have 
 "gathered the house of Israel from the people among 
 whom they are scattered, and shall be 'sanctified in 
 mem in the sight of the heathen, then shall they dwell 
 in their land that I have given to my servant Jacob.

 1 The. judgment of Pharaoh. 8 The desolation of Egypt. 
 
 IN the tenth year, in the tenth month, in the 
 twelfth day of the month, the word of the Lord 
 came unto me, saying, 
 
 2 Son of man, "set thy face against Pharaoh king 
 of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and 'against 
 all Egypt: 
 
 3 Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord God; 
 c Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, 
 the great d dragon that lieth in the midst of his 
 rivers, 'which hath said, My river is mine own, and 
 I have made it for myself. 
 
 4 But J T will put hooks in thy jaws, and I will 
 cause the fish of thy rivers to stick unto thy scales, 
 and I will bring thee up out of the midst of thy rivers, 
 and all the fish of thy rivers shall stick unto thy scales 
 
 5 And I will leave thee thrown into the wilder- 
 ness, thee and all the fish of thy rivers : thou shalt 
 fall upon the f open fields ; s thou shalt not be brought 
 together, nor gathered : A 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 ctm the Lord, 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 brakest, and 
 madest all their loins to be at a stand. 
 
 8 H Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, 
 I will tying 'a sword upon thee, and cut off man 
 and beast out of thee. 
 
 9 And the land of Egypt shall be desolate and 
 waste ; and they shall know that I am the Lord : 
 because he hath said, The river is mine, and I have 
 made it. 
 
 10 Behold, therefore I am against thee, and 
 against thy rivers, "'and I will make the land of 
 Egypt f utterly waste and desolate, || "from the tower 
 of t Syene even unto the border of Ethiopia. 
 
 11 i\ T o foot of man shall pass through it, noi 
 foot of beast shall pass through it, neither shall it 
 be inhabited forty years. 
 
 12 ''And I will make the land of Egypt desolate 
 in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and 
 her cities among the cities that are laid waste shall 
 be desolate forty years: and I Avill scatter the 
 Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse 
 them through the countries. 
 
 13 UYet thus saith the Lord God; 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 captivity of 
 Egypt, and will cause them to return into the land 
 of Pathros, into the land of their || habitation; and 
 they shall be there a t'base kingdom. 
 
 15 It shall be the basest of the kingdoms; nei- 
 ther shall it exalt itself any more above the nations : 
 for I will diminish them, that they shall no more 
 rule over the nations. 
 
 16 And it shall be no more 'the confidence of 
 the house of Israel, which bringeth their iniquity 
 to remembrance, when they shall look after them : 
 but they shall know that I am the Lord God. 
 
 619 
 
The desolation of Egypt. 
 
 17 II And it came to pass in the seven and twen- 
 tieth year, in the first month, in the first day of the 
 month, the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 
 
 18 Son of man, 'Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon 
 caused his army to serve a great service against Ty- 
 rus : every head was made bald, and every shoulder 
 was peeled : yet had he no wages, nor his army, for 
 Tyrus, for the service that he Bad served against it: 
 
 19 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, 
 T will give the land of Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar 
 king of Babylon; and he shall take her multitude, 
 nnd ftake her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall 
 be the wages for his army. 
 
 20 I have given him the land of Eg} r pt Wfor 
 his labour wherewith he "served against it, because 
 they wrought for me, saith the Lord God. 
 
 21 IT In that day * will I cause the horn of the 
 house of Israel to bud forth, and I will give thee 
 "the opening of the mouth in the midst of them; 
 and they shall know that I am the Lord. 
 
 CHAP. XXX. 
 
 The desolation of Egypt and her helpers. 
 
 rpiIE word of the Lord came again unto me, 
 J- saying, 
 
 2 Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the 
 Lord God; "Howl ye, Wo w T orth the day! 
 
 3 For *the da} r is near, even the day of the Lord 
 is near, a cloudy day; it shall be the time of the 
 heathen. 
 
 4 And the sword shall come upon Egypt, and 
 great || pain shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain shall 
 rail in Eg} r pt, and they r shall take away her multi- 
 tude, and ''her foundation shall be broken down. 
 
 5 Ethiopia, and f Libya, and Lydia, and e all the 
 mingled people, and Chub, and the fmen of'the land 
 that is in league, shall fall with them by the sword. 
 
 6 Thus saith the Lord; They also that uphold 
 Eg} r pt shall fall ; and the pride of her power shall 
 come down: IKfrom the tower of Syene shall they 
 fall in it by the sword, saith the Lord God. 
 
 7 *And they shall be desolate in the midst of 
 the countries that are desolate, and her cities shall 
 be in the midst of the cities that are wasted. 
 
 8 And they shall know that I am the Lord, when 
 I have set a fire in Egypt, and when all her helpers 
 shall be f destroyed. 
 
 9 In that day h shall messengers go forth from 
 me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid, 
 and great pain shall come upon them, as in the day 
 of Egypt: for, lo, it cometh. 
 
 10 Thus saith the Lord God; '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 terrible of 
 the nations, shall be brought to destroy the land: 
 mid they shall draw their swords against Egypt, 
 and fill the land with the slain. 
 
 12 And 'I will make the rivers fdry, and m sell 
 the land into the hand of the wicked : and I will 
 make the land waste, and fall that is therein, by 
 tlve hand of strangers : I the Lord have spoken it. 
 
 13 Thus saith the Lord God; I will also "destroy 
 the idols, and I will cause their images to cease out 
 of 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 1 will make 'Pathros desolate, and will 
 set fire in r ||Zoa.n, 'and will execute judgments in No.

 19 Thus will I execute judgments in Egypt- 
 and they shall know that I am the Lord. 
 
 20 HAnd it came to pass in the 'eleventh year, 
 in the first month, in the seventh day of the month, 
 that the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 
 
 21 Son of man, I have y broken the arm of Pha- 
 raoh king of Egypt; and lo, z it shall not be bound 
 up to be healed, to put a roller to bind it, to make 
 it strong to hold the sword. 
 
 22 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, J 
 am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will "break 
 his arms, the strong, and that which Avas broken; 
 and I will cause the sword to fall out of 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 king ot 
 Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; 
 and c they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall 
 put my 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 
 nations, and disperse them among the countries; 
 and they shall know that I am the Lord. 
 
 CHAP. XXXI. 
 
 A recital, unto Pharaoh of the glory of Assyria. 
 
 AND it came to pass in the eleventh year, ir 
 the third month, in the first day of the month, 
 that the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 
 
 2 Son of man, speak unto Pharaoh king of 
 Egypt, and to his multitude; "Whom art thou like 
 in thy greatness? 
 
 3 IP Behold, the Assyrian ivas a cedar in Leba- 
 non | with fair branches, and with a shadowing 
 shroud, and of an high stature; and his top was 
 among the thick boughs. 
 
 4 c The Avaters || made him great, the deep || set 
 him up on high Avith her rivers running round about 
 his plants, and sent out her || little rivers unto all 
 the trees of the field. 
 
 5 Therefore, rf his height Avas exalted above all 
 the trees of the field, and his boughs Avere multi- 
 plied, and his branches became long because of the 
 multitude of waters, || Avhen he shot forth. 
 
 6 All the e 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 shadoAv dwelt all great nations. 
 
 7 Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length 
 of his branches : for his root was by great Avaters. 
 
 8 The cedars in the •'garden of God could not hide 
 him : the fir-trees were not like his boughs, and tho 
 
 ' 
 
The fall of Assyria. 
 
 chesnut-trees were notlikc his brunches; nor any tree 
 in the garden of God was like unto him in his beauty. 
 
 9 I nave made him fair by the multitude of his 
 branches : so that all the trees of Eden, that were 
 in the garden of God, envied him. 
 
 10 IT Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Because 
 thou hast lifted up thyself in height, and he hath 
 shot up his top among the thick boughs, and *his 
 heart is lifted up in his height; 
 
 11 I have therefore delivered him into the hand of 
 the mighty one of the heathen ; f he shall surely deal 
 with him: I have driven him out for his wickedness. 
 
 12 And strangers, ''the terrible of the nations, 
 have cut him off, and have left him: 'upon the 
 mountains and in all the valleys his branches are 
 fallen, and his boughs are broken by all the rivers 
 of the land; and all the people of the earth are 
 gone down from his shadow, and have left him. 
 
 13 *Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the 
 heaven remain, and all the beasts of the field shall 
 be upon his branches : 
 
 14 To the end that none of all the trees by the 
 waters, exalt themselves for their height, neither 
 shoot up their top among the thick boughs, neither 
 their trees || stand up in their height, all that drink 
 water: for 'they are all delivered unto death, m to 
 the nether parts of the earth, in the midst of the 
 children of men, with them that go down to the pit. 
 
 15 Thus saith the Lord God; In the day when 
 he Avent down to the grave I caused a mourning: 
 I covered the deep for him, and I restrained the 
 floods thereof, and the great waters were stayed : 
 and I caused Lebanon f to 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 hell with them 
 that descend into the pit: and /'all the trees of Eden, 
 the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, 
 'shall be comforted in the nether parts of the earth. 
 
 17 The} r also went down into hell with him, 
 unto them that be slain with the sword; and they 
 that were his arm, that T dwelt under his shadow in 
 the midst of the heathen. 
 
 18 IF* To whom art thou thus like in glory and 
 in greatness among the trees of Eden? } T et shalt 
 thou be brought down with the trees of Eden unto 
 the nether parts of the earth : ' thou shalt lie in the 
 midst of the uncircumcised with them that be slain 
 by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multi- 
 tude, saith the Lord God.

 A lamentation for the fearful fall of Egypt. 
 
 AND it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the 
 twelfth month, in the first day of the month, 
 that the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 
 
 2 Son of man, "take up a lamentation for Pharaoh 
 king of Egypt, and say unto him, 6 Thou art like a 
 young lion of the nations, c and thouar^ as a || whale 
 in the seas : and thou earnest forth with thy rivers, 
 end troubledst the waters with thy feet, and rf foul- 
 edst their rivers. 
 
 3 Thus saith the Lord God; 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 upon the land, I will 
 wist thee forth upon the open field, and e will cause 
 all the fowls of the heaven to remain upon thee, and 
 1 will fill the beasts of the Avholc earth with thee.

 A lamentation for Egypt. 
 
 And 1 will lay thy flesh ''upon the mountains, 
 and fill the valleys with thy height. 
 
 6 1 will also water with thy blood || the land 
 wherein thou swimmest, even to the mountains; 
 and the rivers shall be full of thee. 
 
 7 And when I shall || put thee out, 'I will cover 
 the heaven, and make the stars thereof dark ; 1 
 will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall 
 not give her light. 
 
 8 All the t bright lights of heaven will I mske 
 t dark over thee, and set darkness upon thy land, 
 saith the Lord God. 
 
 9 I will also fvex the hearts of many people, 
 when I shall bring thy destruction among the na- 
 tions, into the countries which thou hast notknoAvn. 
 
 10 Yea, I will make many people * amazed at 
 thee, and their kings shall be horribly afraid for 
 thee, Avhen I shall brandish my SAVord before them ; 
 and 'they shall tremble at every moment, every man 
 for his own life, in the day of thy fall. 
 
 11 H m For thus saith the Lord God; The SAvord 
 of the king of Babylon shall come upon thee. 
 
 12 By the sAvords of the mighty will I cause thy 
 multitude to fall, "the terrible of the nations, all of 
 them: and "they shall spoil the pomp of Egypt, and 
 all the multitude thereof shall be destroyed. 
 
 13 I Avill destroy also all the beasts thereof from 
 beside the great waters; p neither shall the foot of 
 man trouble them any more, nor the hoofs of beasts 
 trouble them. 
 
 14 Then will I make their waters deep, and cause 
 their rivers to run like oil, saith the Lord God. 
 
 15 When I shall make the land of Egypt desolate, 
 and the country shall be f destitute of that Avhereof 
 it was full, Avhen I shall smite all them that dAvell 
 therein, 'then shall they knoAv that I am the Lord. 
 
 16 This is the r lamentation AvhereAAith they shall 
 lament her : the daughters of the nations shall la- 
 ment her: they shall lament for her, even for Egypt, 
 and for all her multitude, saith the Lord God. 
 
 17 IT It came to pass also in the twelfth year, in 
 the fifteenth day of the month, that the Avord of the 
 Lord came unto me, saying, 
 
 18 Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, 
 and 'cast them down, even her, and the daughters 
 of the famous nations, unto the nether parts of the 
 earth, Avith them that go down into the pit. 
 
 19 'Whom dost thou pass in beauty? "go down, 
 and be thou laid with the uncircumcised. 
 
 20 They shall fall in the midst of them that are 
 slain by the SAvord : || she is delivered to the sword : 
 draw her and all her multitudes. 
 
 21 *The strong among the mighty shall speak to 
 him out of the midst of hell Avith them that help 
 him: they are y gone doAvn, they lie uncircumcised, 
 slain \>j the SAvord. 
 
 22 *Asshurfs there and all her company : his graves 
 are about him : all of them slain, fallen by the sword : 
 
 23 "Whose graves are set in the sides of the pit, 
 and her company is round about her grave : all of 
 them slain, fallen by the SAvord, Avhich 'caused 
 || terror in the land of the living. 
 
 .24 There is c Elam and all her multitude rounl 
 about her grave, all of them slain, fallen by the 
 SAvord, which are ''gone doAvn uncircumcised into the 
 nether parts of the earth, c Avhich caused their terroT 
 in the land of the living; yet have they borne their 
 shame with them that go doAvn to the pit. 
 
 621 
 
Ezekicl admonished of his dut//. 
 
 25 They have sot her a bed in the midst of the 
 slain with all her multitude : her graves are round 
 about him : all of (hem uneircumcised, slain by the 
 sword : though their terror was caused in the land 
 of »he living, yet have they borne their shame with 
 them that go down to the pit : he is put in the 
 midst of them thai be slain. 
 
 2G There is -/'iMcshech, Tubal, and all her multi- 
 tude : her graves arc round about him : all of them 
 'uneircumcised, slain by the sword, though they 
 caused their terror in the land of the living. 
 
 21 ''And they shall not lie with the mighty that 
 are fallen of the uneircumcised, which are gone 
 down to hell f with their weapons of war : and they 
 have laid their swords under their heads, but then- 
 iniquities shall be upon their bones, though they were 
 the terror of the mighty in the land of the living. 
 
 28 Yea, thou shalt be broken in the midst of 
 the uneircumcised, and shalt lie witli them that are 
 slain with the sword. 
 
 29 There is 'Edom, her kings, and all her princes, 
 which with their might are jwd by them that were 
 slain by the sword : they shall lie with the uneir- 
 cumcised, and with them that go down to the pit. 
 
 80 * There be the princes of the north, all of them, 
 and all the 'Zidonians, which are gone down with 
 the slain ; with their terror they are ashamed of 
 their might ; and they lie uneircumcised with them 
 that be slain by the sword, and bear their shame 
 with them that go down to the pit. 
 
 31 Pharaoh shall see them, and shall be '"com- 
 forted over all his multitude, even Pharaoh and all 
 his army slain by the sword, saith the Lord God. 
 
 32 For I have caused my terror in the land of the 
 living: and he shall be laid in the midst of the uneir- 
 cumcised with them that are slain with the sword, even 
 Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord God. 
 
 CHAP. XXXIII. 
 
 God shetveth the justice of his ways toward the penitent 
 
 GAIN the word of the Lord came unto me, 
 
 EZEK1EL 
 
 A ( 
 
 saying, 
 
 2 Son of man, speak to "the children of thy peo- 
 ple, and say unto them, 6 fWhen I bring the sword 
 upon a land, if the people of the land take a man 
 ot their coasts, and set him for their c watchman : 
 
 3 If when he seeth the sword come upon the 
 land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people ; 
 
 4 Then f whosoever neareth the sound of the trum- 
 pet, and taketh not warning ; if the sword come and 
 take him away, ''his blood shall be upon his own head. 
 
 5 He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took 
 not warning ; his blood shall be upon him. But he 
 that taketh warning shall deliver his soul. 
 
 6 But if the watchman see the sword come, and 
 jlow not 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 IK So thou, son of man, I have set thee a watch- 
 man unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt 
 hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me. 
 
 8 When I say unto the wicked, 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 thine 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 
 Jie in his iniquitv; but thou hast delivered thv soul.

 The justice of Go<fs ways. 
 
 10 Therefore, O thou son of man, speak unto 
 the house of Israel ; Thus ye speak, saying, If our 
 transgressions and our sins be upon us, and we 
 *pine away in them, ''how should we then live? 
 
 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God s 
 '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 V 
 
 12 Therefore, thou son of man, say unto the chil- 
 dren of thy people, The 'righteousness of the right- 
 eous shall not deliver him in the day of his trans- 
 gression : 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 righteousness in the day that he sinneth. 
 
 13 When I shall say to the righteous, thai he 
 shall surely live ; " if he trust to his own righteous- 
 ness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousnesses 
 shall not be remembered ; but for his iniquity that 
 he hath committed, he shall die for it. 
 
 14 Again, "when I say unto the wicked, Thou 
 shalt surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do 
 fthat which is lawful and right; 
 
 15 If the wicked p restore the pledge, "give again 
 that he had robbed, walk in 'the statutes of life, 
 without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, 
 he shall not die. 
 
 16 'None of his sins that he hath committed 
 shall be mentioned unto him : he hath done that 
 which is lawful and right ; he shall surely live. 
 
 17 IT 'Yet the children of thy people say, The 
 way of the Lord is not equal : but as for them, 
 their way is not equal. 
 
 18 "When the righteous turneth from his right- 
 eousness, and committeth iniquity, he shall even 
 die thereby. 
 
 19 But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, 
 and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live 
 thereby. 
 
 20 11 Yet ye say, •'"The way of the Lord is not 
 equal. O ye house of Israel, I will judge you 
 every one after his ways. 
 
 21 '[And it came to pass in the twefth year y of 
 our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day 
 of the month, '-that one that had escaped out of Jeru- 
 salem came unto me, saying, ° The city is smitten. 
 
 22 Now Hhe hand of the Lord was upon me in 
 the evening, afore he that was 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 the Lord came unto me, 
 saying, 
 
 24 Son of man, ''they that inhabit those 'wastes 
 of the land of Israel speak, saying, -^Abraham was 
 one, and he inherited the land : A 'but we are many; 
 the land is given us for inheritance. 
 
 25 Wherefore, say unto them, Thus saith the 
 Lord God ; ''Ye eat with the blood, and 'lift up your 
 eyes toward your idols, and *shed blood: and shall 
 ye possess the land ? 
 
 2G Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomi- 
 nation, and ye m defile every one his neighbour's 
 wife : and shall ye possess the land ? 
 
 27 Say thou thus unto them, Thus saith the Lord 
 God ; As I live, surely "they that are in the wastes, 
 shall fall by the sword, and him that is in the ooeo 
 
 i 
 
The shepherds reproved. 
 
 Held, "will I give to the beasts fto be devoured, 
 and they that be in the forts and ''in the caves, 
 shall die of the pestilence. 
 
 28 «For I will lay the land fmost desolate and 
 the r pomp of her strength shall cease; and 'the 
 mountains of Israel shall be desolate, that none 
 shall pass through. 
 
 20 Then shall they know that I am the Lord, 
 when I have laid the land most desolate because of 
 all their abominations which they have committed. 
 
 30 II Also, thou son of man, the children of thy people 
 still are talking || against thee by the walls and in the 
 doors of the houses, and 'speak one to another, every 
 one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear 
 what is the word that cometh forth from the Lord. 
 
 31 And "they come unto thee fas the people 
 cometh, and j| they 'sit before thee as my people, 
 and they hear thy words, but they will not do 
 them: ^for with their mouth fthey shew much love, 
 but ~ their heart goeth after their covetousness. 
 
 32 And lo, thou art unto them as fa very lovely 
 song of one that 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. 
 
 CHAP. XXXIV. 
 
 11 God's providence for his flock. 20 T lie kingdom of Christ. 
 
 AND the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 
 2 Son of man, prophesy against the "shepherds 
 of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith 
 the Lord God unto the shepherds; 6 Wo be to the 
 fehepherds of Israel that do feed themselves ! should 
 not the shepherds feed the flocks? • 
 
 3 c Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, 
 "ye kill them that are fed : but ye feed not the flock. 
 
 4 'The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither 
 have ye healed that which was sick, neither have 
 ye bound up that which tvas broken, neither have ye 
 brought again that which was driven away, neither 
 have ye f sought that which was lost; but with 
 
 force and with cruelty have ye ruled them. 
 
 5 A And they were 'scattered, || because there is 
 no shepherd : * and they became meat to all the 
 beasts of the field, when they were scattered. 
 
 6 My sheep wandered through all the mountains, 
 and upon every high hill : yea, my flock was scat- 
 tered upon all the face of the earth, and none did 
 search or seek after them. 
 
 7 If Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of 
 the Lord: 
 
 8 As I live, saith the Lord God, surely because 
 my flock became a prey, and my flock 'became 
 meat to every beast of the field, because there was 
 no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for 
 my flock, m but the shepherds fed themselves, and 
 fed not my flock; 
 
 9 Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of 
 the Lord; 
 
 10 Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against 
 the shepherds; and "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 meat for them. 
 
 11 IT For thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I, even 
 I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out.

 Tlie blessings of Christ's kingdom 
 
 12 f As a shepherd seekcth out his flock in the 
 day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; 
 so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them 
 out of all places where they have been scattered in 
 ''the cloudy and dark day. 
 
 13 And V I Avill bring them out from the people 
 and gather them from the countries, and will bring 
 them to their own land, and feed them upon the 
 mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the 
 inhabited places of the country. 
 
 14 r I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon 
 the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: 
 'there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pas- 
 ture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel. 
 
 15 I will feed my flock, and I will cause tbfm 
 to lie down, saith the Lord God. 
 
 16 'I will seek that which was lost, and brino 
 again that which was driven away, and will bind 
 up that ivhich was broken, and will strengthen 
 which was sick: but I will destroy "the fat 
 the strong; I will feed them 'with judgment. 
 
 17 And as for you, O my flock, thus saith 
 Lord God; ,j Behold, I judge between t cattle 
 cattle, between the rams and the f he-goats. 
 
 18 Seemeth it a small thing unto 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 deep waters, but ye must foul 
 the residue 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 God untc 
 them; 'Behold, I, even I, will judge between the 
 fat cattle and between the lean cattle. 
 
 21 Because ye have thrust with side and 
 shoulder, and pushed all the diseased with 
 horns, till ye have scattered them abroad ; 
 
 22 Therefore will I save my flock, and 
 shall no more be a prey; and "I will judge between 
 cattle and cattle. 
 
 23 And I will set up one * Shepherd over them

 28 And they shall no more v be a prey to the

 The judgment of mount Seir for their hatred of Israel. 
 
 MOREOVER the word of the Lord came unto 
 me, saying, 
 
 2 Son of man, "set thy face against ''mount Seir, 
 and prophesy against it. 
 
 3 Ami say unto it, Thus saith the Lord God; 
 Behold, mount Seir, I am against thee, and ''I 
 will stretch out mine bind against thee, and I will 
 make thee fmost desolate. 
 
 4 'I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt he 
 desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the Lord. 
 
 5 -/'Because thou hast had a || perpetual hatred, 
 and hast fshed the blood of the children of Israel 
 by the f force of the sword in the time of their ca- 
 lamity, *in the time that their iniquity had an end: 
 
 6 Therefore, as 1 live, saith the Lord God, 1 will 
 prepare thee unto hlood, and hlood shall pursue 
 thee: * since thou hast not hated hlood, even blood 
 shall pursue thee. 
 
 7 Thus will I make mount Seir fmost desolate, 
 and cut off from it 'him that passeth out and him 
 that returneth. 
 
 8 *And I will fill his mountains with his slain 
 men: in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy 
 rivers, shail 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 the Lord. 
 
 10 Because thou hast said, These two nations 
 and these two countries shall be mine, and we will 
 "possess it; || whereas "the Lord was there: 
 
 11 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord God, I

 will even do ^ according to thine 
 
 anger, 
 
 and accord- 
 
 ing to thine envy which thou hast used out of thy 
 hatred against them ; and I will make myself known 
 among them, when I have judged thee. 
 
 12 'And thou shalt know that I am the Lord, and 
 that I have heard all th} r blasphemies which thou hast 
 spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They 
 are laid desolate, they are given us fto consume. 
 
 13 Thus 'with } T our mouth ye have t boasted 
 against me, and have multiplied your words against 
 me : I have heard them. 
 
 14 Thus saith the Lord God; 'When the whole 
 earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate. 
 
 15 'As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of 
 the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will 
 I do unto thee : " thou shalt be desolate, mount 
 Seir, and all Idumea, even all of it: and they shall 
 know that I am the Lord.

 a possession unto the residue of the heathen, 'and 
 II 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 God; Thus saith the Lord God to the 
 mountains, and to the hills, to the || rivers, and to the 
 valleys, to the desolate wastes, and to the cities that 
 are forsaken, which J became a prey and * derision tc 
 the residue of the heathen that are round about; 
 
 5 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; ''Surely 
 in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against 
 the residue of the heathen, and against all Idumea, 
 'which have appointed my land into their posses- 
 sion with the joy of all their heart, with despiteful 
 minds, to cast it out for a pre}\ 
 
 6 Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, 
 and say unto the mountains, and to the hills, to the 
 rivers, and to the valleys, Thus saith the Lord God; 
 Behold, 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 God; I have 
 'lifted up mine hand : Surely the heathen that are 
 about you, they shall bear their shame. 
 
 8 II But ye, O mountains of Israel, ye shall shoot 
 forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my 
 people of Israel; for they are at hand to come. 
 
 9 For behold, I am for you, and I will turn unto 
 you, and ye shall be tilled and sown : 
 
 10 And I will multiply men upon you, all the 
 house of Israel, even all of it: and the cities shall 
 be inhabited, and '"the wastes shall be budded: 
 
 11 And "I will multiply upon you man and 
 beast; and they shall increase and bring fruit: and 
 I will settle you after 3 r our old estates, and will do 
 better unto you than at your beginnings: "and ye 
 shall know that I am the Lord. 
 
 12 Yea, I will cause men to walk upon you, even 
 my people Israel; p and they shall possess thee, and 
 thou shalt be their inheritance, and thou shalt no 
 more henceforth 'bereave them of men. 
 
 13 Thus saith the Lord God : Because 
 unto you, 'Thou land devourest up men, 
 bereaved thy nations; 
 
 shalt devour men no more, 
 nations any more, saith the 
 
 they say 
 and hast

 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 God. 
 
 16 IT Moreover + he Avord of the Lord came unto 
 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 
 as the "uncleanness of a removed woman. 
 
 18 Wherefore, I poured my fury upon them a "for 
 the blood that they had shed upon the land, and 
 for their idols wherewith they had polluted it: 
 
 19 And 1 y scattered them among the heathen, 
 and they were dispersed through the countries 
 
 z according to their way and according to their 
 doings I judged them. 
 
 20 And when they entered unto the heathen, 
 whither they went, they "profaned my holy name, 
 when they said to them, These arc the peop'e or 
 the Lord, and are erone forth out of his land.

 CHAP. XXX VII. 
 
 21 If But I h:id pity *for mine holy name, which 
 the house of Israel had profaned among the hea- 
 then, whither they went. 
 
 22 Therefore, say unto the house of Israel, Thus 
 eaith the Lord God; I do not this for your sakes, 
 
 house of Israel, 'but for mine 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 the Lord, saith the Lord God, 
 when I shall be ''sanctified in you before || their eyes. 
 
 24 For 'I will take you from among the heathen, 
 and gather you out of all countries, and will bring 
 you into your own land. 
 
 25 1f /r rhen will I sprinkle clean water upon you, 
 and ye shall be clean: *from all your filthiness, and 
 from all your idols, will I cleanse you. 
 
 26 A 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 an heart of flesh. 
 
 27 And I will put my 'Spirit within you, and 
 cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall 
 keep my judgments, and do them. 
 
 28 *And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave 
 to your fathers ; 'and ye shall be my people, and I 
 will be your God. 
 
 29 I will also m save you from all your unclean- 
 nesses: and "I will call for the corn, and will 
 increase it, and "lay no famine upon you. 
 
 30 ^And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, 
 and the increase of the field, that ye shall receive 
 no more re] roach of famine among the heathen. 
 
 31 Theu 'shall ye remember your own evil ways, 
 and your doings that were not good, and 'shall 
 loathe yourselves in your own sight for your ini- 
 quities, and for your abominations. 
 
 32 'Not for your sakes do I this, saith the Lord 
 God, be it known unto you : be ashamed and con- 
 founded for your own ways, house of Israel. 
 
 33 Thus saith the Lord God ; In the day that I 
 shall have cleansed you from all your iniquities I 
 will also cause ffou 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. 
 
 3o And they shall say, This land that was deso- 
 late is become like the garden of "Eden; and the 
 waste and desolate and ruined cities are become 
 fenced, and are inhabited. 
 
 36 Then the heathen that are left round about 
 you shall know that I the Lord build the ruined 
 
 £ laces, and plant that that was desolate: *I the 
 ord have spoken it, and I will do it. 
 
 37 Thus saith the Lord God; y I will yet for this 
 be inquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for 
 them ; I will z increase them with men like a flock. 
 
 38 As the fholy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem 
 in her solemn feasts ; so shall the waste cities be 
 rilled with flocks of men : and they shall know that

 TJie resurrection of dry bones. 
 
 set me down in the midst of the valley which wat 
 full of bones, 
 
 2 And caused me to pass by them icund about : 
 and behold, there were very many in the open |j val- 
 ley ; and lo, they were very dry. 
 
 3 And he said unto me, Son of man, can these 
 bones live? and I answered, O Lord God, 'thou 
 knowest. 
 
 4 Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these 
 bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear 
 the word of the Lord. 
 
 5 Thus saith the Lord God unto 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 breath in you, and ye shall live; 'and ye shall 
 know that I am the Lord. 
 
 7 So I prophesied as I was commanded : and as I 
 prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking 
 and the bones came together, bone to his bone. 
 
 8 And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the 
 flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered 
 them above : but there was no breath in them. 
 
 9 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the llwind, 
 prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith. 
 the Lord God; -'Come from the four winds, O breath, 
 and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. 
 
 10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, *and 
 the breath came into them, and they lived, and 
 stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army. 
 
 11 II Then he said unto 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 parts. 
 
 12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus 
 saith the Lord God ; Behold, ' O my people, I will 
 open your graves, and cause you to come up out of 
 your graves, and * bring you into the land of Israel. 
 
 o. 
 
 the Lord, 
 my people, 
 
 13 And ye shall know that I am 
 when I have opened your graves, O 
 and brought you up out of your graves, 
 
 14 And 'shall put my Spirit in you, and ye shall 
 live, and I shall place you in your own land : then 
 shall ye know that I the Lord have spoken it, and 
 performed it, saith the Lord. 
 
 15 IF The word of the Lord came again unto me, 
 saying, 
 
 16 Moreover,thou son of man, m take thee one stick, 
 and write upon it, For Judah and for " the children 
 of Israel his companions : then take another stick, 
 and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraiui, 
 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 thine hand. 
 
 18 If And when the children of thy people shall 
 speak unto thee, saying, ''Wilt thou not shew us 
 what thou meanest by these ? 
 
 19 « Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God ; 
 Behold, I will take the 'stick of Joseph, which is 
 in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel 
 his fellows, and will put them with him, even with 
 the- stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and 
 they shall be one in mine hand. 
 
 20 II And the sticks whereon thou writest shall 
 be in thine hand * before their eyes. 
 
 21 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God ; 
 Behold. ' I will take the children of Israel from among

 23 " Neither shall they defile themselves any more 
 with their idols, nor with their detestable things, 
 nor with any of their transgressions: but z l will 
 save them out of all their dwelling-places, wherein 
 they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall 
 tlmy be my people, and I will be their God. 
 
 24 And "David my servant shall be king over 
 them; and 6 thcy all shall have one shepherd : c they 
 shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my 
 statutes, and do them. 
 
 25 ''And they shall dwell in the land that I have 
 Wen unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers 
 
 iave dwelt, and they shall dwell therein, even they,

 2 "Son of man, *set thy face against c Gog, the 
 umd of Magog, || the chief prince of ''Meshech and 
 Tubal, and prophesy against him, 
 
 3 And say, Thus saith the Lord God; 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 
 with all sorts of armour, even a great company with 
 bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords : 
 
 5 Persia, Ethiopia, and || Libya with them; all 
 of them with shield and helmet: 
 
 6 *Gonier, and all his bands; the house of A To- 
 garmah of the north quarters, and all his bands : 
 and many people with thee. 
 
 7 'Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, 
 thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto 
 thee, and be thou a guard unto them. 
 
 8 IT* After many days 'thou shalt be visited: in 
 the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is 
 brought back from the sword, "'and is gathered out of 
 many people, against " the mountains of Israel, which 
 have been always waste: but it is brought forth out 
 of the nations, and they shall "dwell safety all of them. 
 
 9 Thou shalt ascend and come ^like a storm, thou 
 6halt he 'like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and 
 all thy bands, and many people with thee. 
 
 10 Thus saith the Lord God; It shall also come 
 to pass, that at the same time shall things come into 
 thy mind, and thou shalt || think an evil thought: 
 
 1 i And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of

 thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to

 14 TI Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say 
 unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord God; 6 In that day 
 when my people of Israel 'dwelleth safely, shal! 
 thou not know it? 
 
 15 d And thou shalt come from thy place out ot

 16 •'And thou shalt come up against my people

 many years, that 1 would bring thee against them ? 
 
 18 And it shall come to pass at the same time

 the Lord God, that my fury shall come up in my face. 
 
 19 For 'in my jealousy k 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 m the fishes of the sea, and the fowls

 21 And I will "call for p sl sword against him

 22 And I will r plead against him with 'pestilence 
 and with blood; and 'I will rain upon him, and 
 upon his bands, and upon the many people that are 
 with him, an overflowing rain, and "great hailstones,

 23 Thus will I magnify myself, and 'sanctify, 
 myself; ^and I will be known in the eyes of many 
 nations, and they shall know that I am the Lord.

 8 \ k Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the

 9 And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall 
 go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, 
 both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the 
 arrows, and the || handstaves, and the spears, and 
 they shall || burn them with fire seven years : 
 
 10 So that they shall take no wood out of the

 they shall burn the weapons with fire: '"and they

 there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude : 
 and they shall call it The valley of || Hamon-gog. 
 
 12 And seven months shall the house of Israel 
 be burying of 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 renown the day that 
 
 I shall be glorified, saith the Lord God. 
 
 14 And they shall sever out fmen of continual 
 employment, passing through the land to bury with

 CHAP. XL. 
 
 The time, maimer, and end of EzekieVs vision. 
 
 IN the five and twentieth year of our captivity, 
 in the beginning of the year, in the tenth day 
 of the month, in the fourteenth year after that "the 
 city was smitten, in the self-same day 'the hand of 
 the Lord was upon me, and brought me thither. 
 
 2 'In the visions of God brought he me into the 
 land of Israel, rf and set me upon a very high mountain, 
 || by which was as the frame of a city on the south. 
 
 3 And he brought me thither, and behold, there 
 was a man, whose appearance was 'like the appear- 
 ance of brass, ■>' with a line of flax in his hand, *and 
 a measuring reed : and he stood in the gate 
 
 4 And the man said unto me, h Son of man, behold 
 with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set 
 thine heart upon all that I shall shew thee; for to 
 the intent that I might shew them unto thee art 
 thou brought hither: 'declare all that thou seest to 
 the house of Israel. 
 
 5 And behold *u 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 an hand- 
 breadth : so he measured the breadth of the building, 
 one reed: and the height, one reed. 
 
 6 IF Then came he unto the gate f which looketh 
 toward 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 was one reed broad. 
 
 7 And every little chamber ivas one reed long, 
 and one reed broad; and between the little cham- 
 bers 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 tvas inward. 
 
 10 And the little chambers of the gate eastward 
 
 627 
 
i description of I he gates. 
 
 ■/•ere three on this side, and three on that side; 
 Jiey three were of one measure: and the posts had 
 one measure on this side and on that side. 
 
 11 And he measured the breadth of the entry 
 of the gate, ten cubits; and the length of the gate, 
 thirteen cubits. 
 
 12 The f space also before the little chambers 
 was one cubit on this side, and the space was one 
 cubit on that side : and the little chambers were 
 six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side. 
 
 18 He measured then the gate from the roof of one 
 little chamber to the roof of another; the breadth 
 was five and twenty cubits, door against door. 
 
 14 He made also posts of threescore cubits, even 
 unto the post of the court round about the gate. 
 
 15 And from the face of the gate of the entrance 
 unto the face of the porch of the inner gate were 
 fifty cubits. 
 
 16 And there were 'f narrow windows to the little 
 chambers, and to their posts within the gate round 
 about, and likewise to the || arches : and windows 
 were round about || inward : and upon each post were 
 palm-trees. 
 
 17 Then brought he me into m the outward court, 
 and lo, there ivere " 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 
 
 EZEKIEL, 
 
 over against the length of the 
 
 gates 
 
 was the lower 
 
 pavement. 
 
 19 Then he measured the breadth from the fore- 
 front of the lower gate unto the forefront of the 
 inner court || without, an hundred cubits eastward 
 and northward. 
 
 20 II And the gate of the outward court fthat 
 looked toward the north, he measured the length 
 thereof, and the breadth thereof. 
 
 21 And. the little chambers thereof ivere three 
 on this side and three on that side; and the posts 
 thereof and the || arches thereof Avere after 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 arches, and their 
 palm-trees, were after the measure of the gate that 
 looketh toward the east : and they went up unto it by 
 seven steps ; and the arches thereof were before them. 
 
 23 And the gate of the inner court was over against 
 the gate toward the north, and toward the east: and 
 he measured from gate to gate an hundred cubits. 
 
 24 IT After that he brought me toward the south, 
 and beheld a gate toward the south : and he mea- 
 sured the posts thereof and the arches thereof 
 according to these measures. 
 
 25 And there were windows in it and in the arches 
 thereof round about, 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 arches thereof ivere before them: and it had 
 palm-trees, one on this side, and another on that 
 side, upon the posts thereof.

 and five and twenty cubits broad. 
 
 30 And the arches round about were ''five and 
 twenty cubits long, and five cubits f broad. 
 
 31 And the arches thereof were toward the outer 
 court; and palm-trees were upon the posts thereof: 
 and the going up to it had eight steps. 
 
 32 II And he brought me into the inner court 
 toward the east: and he measured the gate accord- 
 ing to these measures. 
 
 33 And the little chambers thereof, and the posts 
 thereof, and the arches thereof, were according to 
 these measures : and there ivere windows therein 
 and in the arches thereof around about: it was fifty 
 cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad. 
 
 34 And the arches thereof were toward the out- 
 ward court; and palm-trees were upon the posts 
 thereof, on this side, and on that side : and the going 
 up to it had eight steps. 
 
 35 II And he brought me to the north gate, and 
 measured it according to these measures; 
 
 36 The little chambers thereof, the posts thereof, 
 and the arches thereof, and the windows to it 
 round about : the length was fifty cubits, and the 
 breadth five and twenty cubits. 
 
 37 And the posts thereof were toward the outer 
 court; and palm-trees were upon the posts thereof, 
 on this side, and on that side : and the going up to 
 it had eight steps. 
 
 38 And the chambers, and the entries thereof 
 were by the posts of the gates, where they washed 
 the burnt-offering. 
 
 39 H 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 entry, 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, 
 whereupon they slew their sacrifices. 
 
 42 And the four tables were of hewn stone for 
 the burnt-offering, of a cubit and an half long, and 
 a cubit and an half broad, and one cubit high : 
 whereupon also they laid the instruments where- 
 with they slew the burnt-offering and the sacrifice. 
 
 43 And within were || hooks, an hand broad, 
 fastened round about: and upon the tables was the 
 flesh of the offering. 
 
 44 11 And without the inner gate were the cham- 
 bers of Hhe singers in the inner court, which was 
 at the side of the north gate; and their prospect 
 was toward the south : one at the side of the east 
 gate having the prospect toward the north. 
 
 45 And he said unto me, This chamber, whose 
 prospect is toward the south, is for the priests, 'the 
 keepers of the || charge of the house. 
 
 46 And the chamber whose prospect is toward 
 the north, is for the priests, "the keepers of the 
 charge of the altar: these are the sons of x Zadok 
 among the sons of Levi, which come near to the 
 Lord to minister unto him. 
 
 47 So he measured the court, an hundred cubits 
 long, and an hundred cubits broad, four-square 
 and the altar that was before the house.

 48 IfAnd he brought ine to the porch of the 
 nouse, and measured each post of the porch, five 
 cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side: 
 and the breadth of ihe 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 "pillars by the posts, one on this side, 
 and another on that side.

 The measures, parts, chambers, and ornaments of the temple. 
 
 AFTERWARD he brought me to the temple, 
 and measured the posts, six cubits broad on 
 the one side, and six cubits broad on the other 
 side, which was the breadth of the tabernacle. 
 
 2 And the breadth of the j] door was ten cubits; 
 and the sides of the door were five cubits on the 
 one side, and five cubits on the other side : and he 
 measured the length thereof, forty cubits : and the 
 breadth, twenty cubits. 
 
 3 Then went he inward, and measured 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 cu- 
 bits; and the breadth, twenty cubits, before the tem- 
 ple : and he said unto me, This is the most holy place. 
 
 5 After, he measured the wall of the house, six 
 cubits; and the breadth of every side-chamber, four 
 cubits, round about the house on every side. 
 
 6 'And the side-chambers were three, f one over 
 another, and || thirty in order; and tbey entered 
 into the wall which was of the house for the .side- 
 chambers round about, that they might fhave hold, 
 but they had not hold in the wall of the house. 
 
 7 And f 'there was an enlarging, and a winding 
 about still upward to the side-chambers: for the 
 winding about of the house went still upward round 
 about the house : therefore the breadth of the house 
 was still upward, and so increased from the lowest 
 chamber to the highest by the midst. 
 
 8 I saw also the height of the house round 
 about : the foundations of the side-chambers were 
 'i\ full reed of six great cubits. 
 
 9 The thickness of the wall, which ivas for the 
 side-chamber without, was five cubits : and that 
 which was left was the place of the side-chambers 
 that were within. 
 
 10 And between the chambers was the wideness 
 of twenty cubits round about the house on every side. 
 
 11 And the doors of the side-chambers ivere toward 
 the place that was left, one door toward the north, and 
 another door toward the south: and the breadth of 
 the place that was left teas five cubits round about. 
 
 12 Now the building that was before the separate 
 place at the end toward the west was seventy cubits 
 broad ; and the wall of the building was five cubits thick 
 round about, and the length thereof ninety cubits. 
 
 13 So he measured the house, an hundred cubits 
 long; and the separate place, and the building, with 
 the walls thereof, an hundred cubits long; 
 
 14 Also the breadth of the face of the house, and of 
 the separate place toward the east, an hundred cubits. 
 
 15 And he measured the length of the building 
 
 over aguinst the separate place which was behind 
 
 it, and the || galleries thereof on the one side and 
 
 on the other side, an hundred cubits, with the inner 
 
 temple, and the porches of the court;

 18 And it was made ■'With cherubims and palm-

 19 4 'So that the face of a man was toward the 
 palm-tree on the one side, and the face of a young 
 lion toward the palm-tree on the other side: it was 
 made through all the house round about.

 22 A The altar of wood was three cubits high,

 thereof, and the length thereof, and the walls 
 thereof, were of wood : and he said unto me, This 
 is 'the table that is k before the Lokd. 
 
 23 'And the temple and the sanctuary had 
 doors. 
 
 24 And the doors had two 
 turning leaves; two leaves for

 25 And there were made on them, on the doors 
 of the temple, cherubims and palm-trees, like as 
 ivere made upon the walls; and there were thick 
 planks upon the face of the porch without.

 1 The chambers for the priests : 13 The use thereof. 
 
 I^HEN he brought me forth into the outer court, the 
 - way toward the north : and he brought me into 
 the chamber that was over against the separate place, 
 and which was before the building toward the north. 
 
 2 Before the length of an hundred cubits was 
 the north door, and the breadth teas fifty cubits. 
 
 3 Over against the twenty cubits which were for 
 the inner court, and over against the pavement 
 which teas for the outer court, teas * gallery against 
 gallery in three stories. 
 
 4 And before the chambers was a walk of ten 
 cubits breadth inward, a way of one cubit: and 
 their doors toward the north. 
 
 5 Now the upper chambers were shorter: for the 
 galleries 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 as the pillars of the courts: therefore the 
 building was straitened more than the lowest and 
 the middlemost from the ground. 
 
 7 And the wall that was without over against the 
 chambers, toward 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 ivere an hundred cubits. 
 
 9 And || from under these chambers ivas I the entry 
 
 p:w 
 
The measure of the outward court. 
 
 on the east side, || as one goeth into them from the 
 outer court. 
 
 10 The chambers were in the thickness of the 
 wall of the court toward the east, over against the 
 separate place, and over against the huil ling. 
 
 11 And c the way before them was like the appear- 
 ance of the chambers which were toward 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 chnmbers 
 that were toward the south was a door in the head 
 of the way, even the way directly before the wall 
 toward the east, as one entereth into them. 
 
 13 If Then said he unto me, The north chambers 
 and the south chambers which are before the sepa- 
 rate place, they be holy chambers, where the priests 
 that approach unto the Lord ''shall eat the most holy 
 things: there shall they lay the most holy things, 
 and 'the meat-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 garments, and shall approach to those things 
 which arc for the people. 
 
 15 Now when he had made an end of measuring 
 the inner house, he brought me forth toward the 
 gate whose prospect is toward the east, and mea- 
 sured it round about. 
 
 16 He measured the east fside with the mea- 
 suring reed, five hundred reeds, with the measuring 
 reed round about, 
 
 17 He measured the north side, five hundred 
 reeds, with the measuring reed round about. 
 
 18 He measured the south side, five hundred 
 reeds, with the measuring reed. 
 
 19 If He turned about to the west side, and mea- 
 sured five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed. 
 
 20 He measured it by the four sides: *it had a 
 wall round about, A five hundred reeds long, and five 
 hundred broad, to make a separation between the 
 sanctuary and the profane place.

 AFTERWARD he brought me to the gate, even 
 the gate "that looketh toward the east: 
 
 2 'And behold, the glory of the God of Israel 
 came from the way of the east: and c his voice was 
 like a noise of many waters : "'and the earth shined

 12 This is the law of the house; Upon *the top of 
 the mountain the whole limit thereof round about shall 
 be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house. 
 
 13 If And these are the measures of the altar 
 after the enbirs: ^The cubit is a cubit and an hand- 
 breadth; even the f bottom shall be a cubit, and the 
 breadth a cubit, and the border thereof by the 
 fedge thereof round about shall be a span; and this 
 shall be the higher place of the altar. 
 
 14 And from the bottom upon the ground even to the 
 lower settle shall be two cuoits, and the breadth one 
 cubit; and from, the lesser settle even to the greater 
 settle shall be four cubits, and the breadth one cubit.

 CHAP. XLIV. 
 
 The priests reproved for polluting of the sanctuary. 
 
 rppIEN he brought me back the way of the gate of 
 J- the outward sanctuary "which iooketh toward 
 the east; and it was shut. 
 
 2 Then said the Lord unto me; This gate shall 
 be shut, it shall not be opened, and no man shall 
 enter in by it; * because the Lord 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 c eat bread before the Lord; ''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 brought he me the way of the north gate 
 before the house: and 1 looked, and ''behold, the 
 glory of the Lord tilled the house of the Lord: 
 •^and I fell upon my face. 
 
 5 And the Lord said unto me/ Son of man, f mark 
 well, and behold with thine eyes, and hear with 
 
 I say unto thee concerning all the 
 house of the Lord, and all the 
 mark well the entering in of the 
 house, with every going forth of the sanctuary. 
 
 6 And thou shalt say to the ''rebellious, even to 
 the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God; Oye 
 house of Israel, 'let it suffice you of all your abomi- 
 nations ; 
 
 7 fc In that ye have brought into my sanctuary 
 f 'strangers, '"uucircuincised 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 mj' covenant 
 because of all your abominations. 
 
 8 And ye have not ''kept the charge of mine holy 
 things : but ye have set keepers of my || charge in 
 my sanctuary for yourselves. 
 
 "9 If Thus saith the Lord God, ''No stranger, un- 
 circumcised in heart, nor uncircumcised in flesh, shall 
 enter into my sanctuary, of any stranger that is 
 among the children of Israel. 
 
 10 r And the Levites that are gone away far from 
 me, when Israel went astray, which went astray 
 away from me after their idols; they shall even 
 bear their iniquity. 
 
 11 Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, 
 'having charge at the gates of the house, and minis- 
 tering to the house: 'they shall slay the burnt- 
 offering and the sacrifice for the people, and "they 
 shall stand before them to minister uuto them. 
 
 12 Because they ministered unto them before 
 their idols, and a 'f caused the house of Israel to fall 
 into iniquity; therefore have I y lifted up mine hand 
 against them, saith the Lord God, and they shall 
 bear their iniquity.

 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 thereof, and for all 
 that shall be done therein. 
 
 15 l[ c But the priests the Levites, d the sons of 
 Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary e wheu 
 the children of Israel went astray from me, they

 f shall stand before me to offer unto me ^'the fat and 
 the blood, saith the Lord God: 
 
 IB They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they 
 shall conic near to A my table, to minister unto me, 
 and they shall keep m}- charge. 
 
 17 H 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 oi 
 the inner court, and within. 
 
 18 *They shall have linen bonnets upon their 
 heads, and shall have linen breeches upon their 
 loins; they shall not gird themselves Hfwith any 
 thing that causeth sweat. 
 
 19 And when they go forth into the outer court, 
 even into the outer court to the people, 'they 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 sanctify the 
 people with their garments. 
 
 20 "Neither shall they shave their heads, nor 
 suffer their locks to grow long; they. shall only poll 
 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 fput away: but they shall

 a widow t that had a priest before. 
 
 23 And ''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 judg- 
 ment; and they shall judge it according to my 
 judgments: and they shall keep my laws and my 
 statutes in all mine assemblies; 'and they shall 
 hallow my sabbaths. 
 
 25 And they shall come at no 'dead person to 
 defile themselves: but for father, or for mother, or 
 for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister that 
 hath had no husband, they may defile themselves. 
 
 26 And "after he is cleansed, they shall reckon 
 unto him seven days. 
 
 27 And in the day that he goeth into the sanctuary, 
 •^unto the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, 
 y he shall offer his sin-offering, saith the Lord God. 
 
 28 And it shall be unto them for an inheritance; 
 I -am their inheritance: and ye shall give them no 
 possession in Israel : I am their possession. 
 
 29 "They shall eat the meat-offering, and the 
 sin-offering, and the trespass-offering; and * every 
 || dedicated thing in Israel shall be theirs. 
 
 30 And the ||' first of all the first-fruits of nil

 oblation || for the prince in Israel. 
 
 17 And it shall be the prince's part to give burnt- 
 offerings, and meat-offerings, and drink-offerings, in

 21 'In the first month, in the fourteenth day of 
 the month, ye shall have the passover, a feast of

 22 And upon that day shall the prince prepare

 25 In the seventh month, in the fifteenth day of 
 the month, shall he do the like in the "feast of the 
 seven days, according to the sin-offering, according 
 to the burnt-offering, and according to the meat- 
 offering, and according to the oil. 
 
 CHAP. XLVI. 
 
 Ordinances for I lie prince in his worship, and for the people. 
 
 I^IITJS saith the Lord God; The gate of the inner 
 court that looketh- toward the east, shall be 
 shut the six working days; but on the sabbath it 
 shall be opened, and in the day of the new-moon it 
 shall be opened. 
 
 2 "And the prince shall enter by the way of the 
 porch of thai gate without, and shall stand by the 
 post of the gate, and the priests shall prepare his 
 burnt-offering and his peace-offerings, and he shall 
 worship at the threshold of the gate : then he shall go 
 forth ; but the gates shall not be shut until the evening. 
 
 3 Likewise the people of the land shall worship 
 at the door of this gate before the Lord in the sab- 
 baths and in the new-moons. 
 
 4 And the burnt-offering that 'the prince shall 
 offer unto the Lord in the sabbath day shall be six 
 lambs without blemish, and a ram without blemish. 
 
 5 c And the meat-offering shall be an ephah for a 
 ram, and the meat-offering for the lambs fas he 
 shall be able to give, and an hin of oil to an ephah. 
 
 6 And in 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 meat-offering, an ephah 
 for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and for the 
 lambs according as his hand shall attain unto, and

 by the way of the porch of that gate, and he shall 
 go forth by the way thereof. 
 
 9 If But" when the people of the hind 'shall come be- 
 fore the Lord in the solemn feasts, he that entereth in 
 by the way of the north gate to worship, shall go out. by 
 the way of the south gate : and he that 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 in the feasts and in the solemnities •'"the 
 meat-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 an hin of oil to an ephah. 
 
 12 Now when the prince shall prepare a volunta- 
 ry burnt-offering or peace-offerings voluntarily unto 
 the Lord, s one shall then open him the gate that 
 looketh toward the east, and he shall prepare his 
 burnt-offering and his peace-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 daity prepare a burnt-offering 
 unto the Lord of a lamb f of the first year without 
 blemish: thou shalt prepare it f every morning. 
 
 14 And thou shalt prepare a meat-offering for it 
 every morning, the sixth part of an ephah, and the 
 third part of an hin of oil, to temper with the fine 
 flour; a meat-offering continually by a perpetual 
 ordinance unto the Lord. 
 
 15 Thus shall they prepare the lamb, and the 
 meat-offering, and the oil, every morning for a con- 
 tinual burnt-offering. 
 
 16 IF Thus saith the Lord God; If the prince give a 
 «;ift unto 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 ; after, it shall return to the prince : but his 
 inheritance shall be his sons' for them. 
 
 18 Moreover, Hhe 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 peo- 
 ple be not scattered every man from his possession. 
 
 19 II After, ho brought me through the entry, which 
 was at the side ot the gate, into the holy chambers of 
 the priests, which looked toward the north : and be- 
 hold, there ivas a place on the two sides westward. 
 
 20 Then said he unto me, This is the place where 
 the priests shall 'boil the trespass-offering and the 
 sin-offering, where they shall "'bake the meat-offer- 
 ing; that they bear them not out into the outer 
 court, "to sanctify the people. 
 
 21 Then he brought me forth into the outer court, 
 and caused me to pass by the four corners of the 
 court; and behold, fin every corner of the court 
 there was a court. 
 
 22 In the four corners of the court there were 
 courts || joined of forty cubits long and thirty broad: 
 these four f corners were of one measure. 
 
 23 And there was a row of building found about 
 in them, round about them four, and it was made 
 with boiling-places under the rows round about. 
 
 24 Then said he unto me, These are the places 
 of them that boil, where the ministers of the house 
 bhall "boil the sacrifice of the people

 AFTERWARD he brought me again unto the 
 door of the house; and behold, "waters issued 
 out from under the threshold of the house eastward : 
 for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, 
 and the waters came down from under from the 
 right side of the house, at the south side of the altar 
 
 2 Then brought he me out of the way of the gate 
 northward, and led me about the way without unto 
 the outer gate by the way that looketh eastward; 
 and behold, there ran out waters on the right side. 
 
 3 And when 'the man that had the line in his 
 hand, went forth eastward, he measured a thousand 
 cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the 
 t waters were to the ankles. 
 
 4 Again he measured a thousand, and brought 
 me through the waters; the waters were to the 
 knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought 
 me through; the waters were to the loins. 
 
 5 Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was 
 a river that I could not pass over: for the waters 
 were risen, f waters to swim in, a river that could 
 not be passed over. 
 
 6 IF And he said unto 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 
 f bank of the river were very many c trees on the 
 one side and on the other. 
 
 8 Then said he unto me, These waters issue out 
 toward 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, whithersoever the f riv- 
 ers shall come, shall live : and there shall be a very 
 great multitude of fish, because these waters shall 
 come thither: for they shall be healed: and every 
 tiling shall live whither the river cometh. 
 
 10 And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall 
 stand upon it from En-gedi even unto En-eglaim; 
 they shall be a place to spread forth nets; then 
 fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish 
 ''of the great sea, exceeding many. 
 
 11 But the miry places thereof and the marshes 
 thereof || shall not be healed; they shall be given 
 to salt. 
 
 12 And c by the river upon the bank thereof, on 
 this side and on that side, f shall grow all trees for 
 meat/' whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit 
 thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth || new fruit 
 according to his months, because their waters they 
 issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof 
 shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof || for s medicine. 
 
 13 HThus saith the Lord God; This shall be the 
 border, whereby ye shall inherit the land according 
 to the twelve tribes of Israel: ''Joseph shall have 
 two portions. 
 
 14 And ye shall inherit it, one as well as another: 
 concerning the which I || 'lifted up mine hand to give 
 it unto your fathers: and this land shall Mall unto 
 you for inheritance. 
 
 15 And this shall be the border of the land toward 
 the north side, from the great sea, ' the way of Ileth- 
 lon, as men go to '"Zedad;

 17 And the border from the sea shall be ''Hazar- 
 enan, tbo border of Damascus, and the north north- 
 ward, and the border of Hamath. And this is the 
 north side. 
 
 18 And the east side ye shall measure ffrom 
 Hauran, and from Damascus, and from Gilead, and 
 from the land of Israel by Jordan, from the border 
 
 into the east sea. And this is the east side. 
 
 19 And the south side southward, from Tamar 
 even to 'the waters of || strife in Kadesh, the || river to 
 the great sea. And thk is the south side || southward. 
 
 20 The west side also shall be the great sea from 
 the border, till a man come 
 This is the west side. 
 
 21 So shall ye divide this land unto you accord- 
 ing to the tribes of Israel. 
 
 22 If And it shall come to pass, that ye shall 
 divide it by lot for an inheritance unto you, 'and to 
 the strangers that sojourn among you, which shall 
 beget children among you: 'and they shall be unto 
 you as born in the country among the children of 
 Israel; they shall have inheritance with you among 
 the tribes of Israel. 
 
 23 And it shall come to pass, that in what tribe 
 the stranger sojourneth, there shall ye give him his

 CHAP. I. 
 
 1 Jehoiakim's captirify. 3 Ashpenaz laketh Daniel, Ilananiafi, Mishael, 
 and Azariah. 17 Their excellency in wisdom. 
 
 IN the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king 
 of Judah "came Nebuchadnezzar king of Baby- 
 lon unto Jerusalem, and besieged it. 
 
 2 And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah 
 into his hand, with 'part of the vessels of the house 
 of God: which he carried f into the land of Shinar 
 to the house of his god; ''and he brought the ves- 
 sels into the treasure-house of his god. 
 
 3 H And the king spake unto Ashpenaz the mas- 
 ter of his eunuchs, that he should bring * certain of 
 the children of Israel, and of the king's seed, and 
 of the princes; 
 
 4 Children e in whom wad no blemish, but well 
 favoured, and skilful in all wisdom, and cunning in 
 knowledge, and understanding science, and such as 
 had ability m them to stand in the king's palace, 
 and ■'"whom they might teach the learning and the 
 tongue of the Chaldeans. 
 
 5 And the king appointed them a daily provi- 
 sion of the king's meat, and of f the wine which he 
 drank : so nourishing them three years, that at the 
 end thereof they might s stand before the king. 
 
 6 Now, among these were of the children of 
 Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: 
 
 7 ''Unto whom the prince of the eunuchs gave 
 names: 'for he gave unto Daniel the name of Bel- 
 teshazzar; and to Hananiah, of Shadrach; and to 
 Mishael, of Meshach ; and to Azariah, of Abed-nego. 
 
 8 H But Daniel purposed in his heart that he 
 would not defile himself *with the portion of the 
 king's meat, 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 favour and 
 tender love with the prince of the eunuchs. 
 
 10 And the prince of the eunuchs said unto 
 Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who hath appointed 
 your meat and your drink : for why should he see 
 your faces f worse liking than the children which 
 are of your || sort? then shall ye make me endanger 
 *ny head to the king. 
 
 11 Then said Daniel to || Melzar, whom the 
 prince of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hana- 
 liah, Mishael, and Azariah, 
 
 12 Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; 
 and let them give us f pulse f to eat, and water to drink. 
 
 13 Then let our countenances be looked upon 
 before thee, and the countenance of the children 
 *hat eat of the portion of the king's meat: and as 
 thou seest, deal with thy servants. 
 
 14 So he consented to them in this matter, and 
 proved them ten days.

 15 And at the end of ten days their countenances 
 appeared fairer and fatter in flesh than all the chil-

 16 Thus Melzar took away the portion of their

 17 If As for these four children, "'God gave them

 said he should bring them in, then the prince of the 
 eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar. 
 
 19 And the king communed with them : and 
 anions them all was found none like Daniel, Hana- 
 niah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore, p stood they 
 before the king. 
 
 20 'And in all matters of f wisdom and under-

 them ten times better than all the magicians and

 CHAP. II. 
 
 1 Nebuchadnezzar foryettelh his dream. 14 It is revealed to Daniei. 
 31 The dream and the interpretation thereof. 
 
 AND in the second year of the reign of Nebu- 
 chadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, 
 "wherewith his spirit was troubled, and 'his sleep 
 brake from him. 
 
 2 'Then the king commanded to call the magi- 
 cians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and 
 the Chaldeans, for to shew the king his dreams. 
 So they came and stood before the king. 
 
 3 And the king said unto them, I have dreamed 
 a dream, and my spirit was troubled to know the 
 dream. 
 
 4 Then spake the Chaldeans to the king in Syriac, 
 rf O king, live for ever: tell thy servants the dream, 
 and we will shew the interpretation. 
 
 5 The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, 
 The thing is gone from me : if ye will not make 
 known unto me the dream, with the interpretation 
 thereof, ye shall be 'fcut in pieces, and your houses 
 shall be made a dunghill. 
 
 6 •'But if ye shew the dream, and the interpre- 
 tation thereof, ye shall receive of me gifts and 
 || rewards and great honour: therefore, shew me 
 the dream, and the interpretation 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 of cei 
 tainty that ye would fgaiu the time, because ye 
 see the thing is gone from me. 
 
 9 But, if ye will not make known unto me the 
 
 535 
 
Nebuchadnezzar's dream revealed to Daniel: 
 
 dream, 'there is bid one decree for } r ou : for ye have 
 prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before 
 me, till the time he 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 upon the earth that 
 can shew the king's matter: therefore there is no 
 king, lord, nor ruler, that asked such things at any 
 magician, or astrologer, or Chaldean. 
 
 fl And it is a rare thing that the king requireth, 
 and there is none other that 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 men 
 should be slain ; and they sought Daniel and his 
 fellows to be slain. 
 
 14 "[[Then Daniel f answered with counsel and 
 wisdom to Arioch the || f captain of the king's guard, 
 which was 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 interpretation. 
 
 17 Then Daniel went to his house and made the 
 thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, 
 his companions: 
 
 18 'That they would desire mercies | of the God 
 of heaven concerning this secret ; || that Daniel and 
 his fellows should not perish with the rest of the 
 wise men of Babylon. 
 
 19 IF Then was the secret revealed unto 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: m for wisdom and 
 might are his : 
 
 21 And he changeth "the times and the seasons ; 
 'he removeth kings, and setteth up kings; ; 'he giv- 
 eth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them 
 that know understanding : 
 
 22 "He revealeth the deep and secret things: 
 r he knoweth what is in the darkness, and 'the light 
 dwelleth with him. 
 
 23 I thank thee, and praise thee, thou God 
 of my fathers, who hast given ine wisdom and 
 might, and hast made known unto me now what 
 we 'desired of thee : for thou hast now made known 
 unto us the king's matter. 
 
 24 IF Therefore, Daniel went in unto Arioch, whom 
 the king had ordained to destroy the wise men of 
 Babylon : he went and said thus unto him; Destroy 
 not the wise men of Babylon : bring me in before the 
 king, and 1 will shew unto the king the interpretation. 
 
 25 Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the 
 king in haste, and said thus unto him, f I have 
 found a man of the f captives of Judah, that will 
 make known unto the king the interpretation. 
 
 26 The king answered and said to Daniel, whose 
 name was Belteshazzar, Art thou able to make 
 known unto me the dream which 1 have seen, and 
 the interpretation thereof? 
 
 27 Daniel answered in the presence of the king,

 and said, The secret which the king hath demanded 
 cannot the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, 
 the soothsayers, shew unto the king; 
 
 28 "But there is a God in heaven that revealeth 
 secrets, and fmaketh known to the king Nebuchad- 
 nezzar a " what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, 
 and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these. 
 
 29 As for thee, O king, thy thoughts fcame into 
 thy mind upon thy bed, what should corne to pass 
 hereafter: y and he that revealeth secrets maketh 
 known to thee what shall come to pass. 
 
 30 ~But as for me, this secret is not revealed to 
 me for any wisdom that I have more than any liv- 
 ing, || but for their sakes that shall make known the 
 interpretation to the king, "and that thou mightest 
 know the thoughts of thy heart. 
 
 IF Thou, O king, f sawest, and behold a great 
 
 image. 
 
 This 
 
 great 
 
 image, whose brightness wan 
 thee ; and the form thereof 
 
 a kingdom, power, 
 
 excellent, stood before 
 was terrible. 
 
 32 ''This image's head was of fine gold, his breast 
 and his arms of silver, his belly and his || thighs of brass, 
 
 33 His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part 
 of clay. 
 
 34 Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out 
 || c without hands, which smote the image upon his feet 
 that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces. 
 
 35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the sil- 
 ver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and be- 
 came ''like the chaff of the summer threshing-floors; 
 and the wind carried them away, that e no place was 
 found for them : and the stone that smote the image 
 •'became a great mountain, e 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 
 and strength, 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 thine 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. 
 
 40 And ''the fourth kingdom shall be strong as 
 iron : forasmuch as iron break eth in pieces and 
 subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all 
 these, shall it break in pieces and bruise. 
 
 41 And whereas thou sawest 'the feet and toes, 
 part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom 
 shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the 
 strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the 
 iron mixed with miry clay. 
 
 42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, 
 and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly 
 strong, and partly || broken. 
 
 43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with 
 miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the 
 seed of men: but they shall not cleave fone to 
 another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. 
 
 44 And in fthe days of these kings 'shall the 
 God of heaven set up a kingdom, 'which shall never 
 be destroyed : and the t kingdom shall not be left to 
 other people, *hd it shall break in pieces and con- 
 sume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. 
 
 45 "Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was 
 cut out of the mountain || without hands, and that it 
 
The golden image set up. 
 
 brake 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 us certain, and the interpretation thereof sure. 
 
 46 If* Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon 
 his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded 
 that they should offer an oblation y and sweet odours 
 unto him. 
 
 47 The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of 
 a truth it is, that your God is a God of gods, and 
 a Lord of kings, z 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, f and he 
 set Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, over the 
 affairs of the province of Babylon : but Daniel u sat 
 in the gate of the king. 
 
 CHAP. III. 
 
 Nebuchadnezzar setleth up a golden image. 
 
 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 
 plain 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 treasurers, the counsellors, the sher- 
 iffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to 
 the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar 
 the king had set up. 
 
 3 Then the princes, the governors, and captains, 
 the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sher- 
 iffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, were gathered 
 together unto the dedication of the image that Nebu 
 chadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood 
 before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up 
 
 4 Then an herald cried f aloud, To you fit is 
 commanded, " people, nations, and languages, 
 
 5 That at what time ye hear the sound of the cor- 
 net, flute, harp, sackbut, osaltery, || f dulcimer, and all 
 kinds of music, ye fall down and worship the golden 
 image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up: 
 
 6 And whoso 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 cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, 
 psaltery, and all kinds of music, all the people, the 
 nations, and the languages, fell down and worship- 
 ped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king 
 had set up. 
 
 8 II Wherefore at that time certain Chaldeans 
 'came near, and accused the Jews. 
 
 9 They spake and said to the king Nebuchad- 
 nezzar, ''O king, live for ever. 
 
 10 Thou, king, hast made a decree, that every 
 man that shall hear the sound of the cornet, flute, 
 harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds 
 of music, shall fall clown and worship the golden 
 image : 
 
 11 And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth, 
 that he should be cast into the midst of a burning 
 fiery furnace.

 over the affairs of the province of Babylon, Shadrach,

 Then they brought these men before the kinjr. 
 
 14 Nebuchadnezzar spake and said unto them, 
 Is it || true, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, 
 do not ye serve my gods, nor worship the gohiei> 
 image which I have set up? 
 
 15 Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear 
 the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, 
 and dulcimer, 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 shall deliver you out of my hands? 
 
 16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego answered 
 and said to the king, Nebuchadnezzar, A we are not 
 careful to answer 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 out of thine hand, king. 
 
 18 But if not, be it known unto thee, king, 
 that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the 
 golden image which thou hast set up. 
 
 19 H Then was Nebuchadnezzar f full of fmy, and 
 the form of his visage was changed against Shad- 
 rach, Meshach, and Abed-nego: therefore he spake, 
 and commanded that they should heat the furnace 
 one seven times more than it was wont to be heated. 
 
 20 And he commanded the fmost mighty men 
 that ivere in his army to hind Shadrach, Meshach, 
 and Abed-nego, and to cast them into the burning 
 fiery furnace. 
 
 21 Then these men were bound in their || coats, their 
 hosen, and their || hats, and their other garments, and 
 were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. 
 
 22 Therefore because the king's f commandment 
 was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the || flame 
 of the fire slew those men that took up Shadrach, 
 Meshach, and Abed-nego. 
 
 23 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and 
 Abed-nego, fell down bound into the midst of the 
 burning fiery furnace. 
 
 24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king Avas astonied, 
 and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his 
 II counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into 
 the midst of the fire? They answered and said 
 unto the king, True, king. 
 
 25 He answered and said, Lo, I see four men 
 loose, * walking in the midst of the fire, and fthey 
 have no hurt: and the form of the fourth is like 
 'the Son of God. 
 
 26 HThen Nebuchadnezzar came near to the 
 f mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spake, and 
 said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, ye ser- 
 vants of the most high God, come forth, and come 
 hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, 
 came forth of the midst of the fire. 
 
 27 And the princes, governors, and captains, and 
 the king's counsellors, being gathered together, saw 
 these men, "'upon whose bodies the fire had no 
 power, nor was an hair of their head singed, neither 
 were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had 
 passed on them. 
 
 28 Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed 
 he the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, 
 who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants 
 
 537 
 
Nebuchadnezzar rclaleUi his dream. 
 
 that "trusted in him, and have changed the king's 
 ford, and yielded their bodies, that they might not 
 lerve nor worship any god, except their own God. 
 
 29 'Therefore, fl make a decree, That every 
 people, n;ition, and language, which speak ifiny 
 thing amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, 
 •and Abed-nego, shall be 'tent in pieces, and their 
 houses shall be made a dunghill: '' because there is 
 no other god that can deliver after this sort. 
 
 30 Then the king f promoted Shadrach, Meshach, 
 and Abed-nego, in the province of Babylon.

 Dnniel hearcth Nebuchuilnezzar'3 dretim, and inlerpreteth it. 
 
 NEBUCHADNEZZAR the king, "unto all peo- 
 ple, nations, and languages, that dwell in all 
 the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you. 
 
 2 f I thought it good to shew the signs and won- 
 ders 'that the high God hath wrought toward me. 
 
 3 'How great are his signs! and how mighty arc 
 his wonders ! his kingdom is ''an everlasting kingdom, 
 and his dominion is from generation to generation. 
 
 4 Tfl Nebuchadnezzar was at rest in mine house, 
 and flourishing in my palace : 
 
 5 I saw a dream which made me afraid, 'and the 
 thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my head 
 /'troubled me. 
 
 6 Therefore made I a decree to bring in all the 
 wise men of Babylon before me, that they might 
 make known unto me the interpretation of the dream. 
 
 7 *Then came in the magicians, the astrologers, 
 the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers : and I told the 
 dream before them; but they did not make known 
 unto me the interpretation thereof. 
 
 8 HBut at the last Daniel came in before me, 
 'whose name ivas Belteshazzar, according to the 
 name of my god, 'and in whom is the spirit of the 
 holy gods: and before him I told the dream, saying, 
 
 Belteshazzar, ^master of the magicians, be- 
 cause I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee, 
 and no secret troubleth thee, tell me the visions of my 
 dream that I have seen, and the interpretation thereof. 
 
 10 Thus were the visions of mine head in my 
 bed; \1 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 unto heaven, and the sight thereof 
 to the end of all the earth : 
 
 12 The leaves thereof were fair,and the fruit thereof 
 much, and in it was meat for all: '"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 of it. 
 
 13 I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, 
 and behold, "a watcher and "an holy one came down 
 from heaven. 
 
 14 He cried f aloud, and said thus, ''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 his branches. 
 
 15 Nevertheless, leave the stump of his roots in 
 the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in 
 the tender grass of the field ; and let it be wet with 
 
 he dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the 
 oeasts in the grass of the earth. 
 
 16 Let his heart be changed from man's, and let 
 a beast's heart be given unto 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: to

 Daniel tnterpretcth if, 
 
 [the intent 'that the living may know 'that the Mos( 
 High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth i»l 
 to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it tr„<? 
 basest of men. 
 
 18 This dream 1 king Nebuchadnezzar have seen 
 Now thou, O Belteshazzar, declare the interpretn 
 tion thereof, "forasmuch as all the wise men of my 
 kingdom are not able to make known unto me tliv 
 interpretation : but thou art able; *for the spirit ,>J 
 the holy gods u in thee. 
 
 19 If Then Daniel, y whose name was Belteshazzai 
 was astonied for one hour, and his thoughts troubleft 
 him. The king spake, and said, Belteshazzar, let 
 not the dream, or the interpretation thereof, trouble 
 thee. Belteshazzar answered, and said, My lord, 
 Hhe dream be to them that hate thee, and the inter- 
 pretation thereof to thine enemies. 
 
 20 "The tree that thou sawest, which grew, and 
 was strong, whose height reached unto the heaven, 
 and the sight thereof to all the earth; 
 
 21 Whose leaves were fair, and the fruit thereof 
 much, and in it ivas meat for all; under which the 
 beasts of the field dwelt, and upon whose branches 
 the fowls of the heaven had their habitation : 
 
 22 6 It is thou, O king, that art grown and become 
 strong: for thy greatness is grown, and reacheth unto 
 heaven, 'and thy dominion to the end of the earth. 
 
 23 ''And whereas the king saw a watcher and an 
 holy one coming down from heaven, and saying, 
 Hew the tree down, and destroy it; yet leave the 
 stump of the roots thereof in the earth, even with a 
 band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the 
 field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, 
 'and let his portion he 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 is come upon 
 my lord the king : 
 
 25 That they shall f drive thee from men, and thy 
 dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and 
 they shall make thee *'to eat grass as oxen, and they 
 shall wet thee with the dew of heaven, -and seven 
 times shall pass over thee, Hill thou know that the 
 Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and 
 it to whomsoever he will. 
 
 26 And whereas they commanded to leave the 
 stump of the tree roots; thy kingdom shall be sure 
 unto thee, after that thou shalt have known that the 
 * heavens do rule. 
 
 27 Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable 
 unto thee, and 'break off thy sins by righteousness, 
 and thine iniquities by shewing mercy to the pool - ; 
 m if it may be ||"a lengthening of thy tranquillity. 
 
 28 II All this came upon the king Nebuchadnezzar. 
 
 29 At the end of twelve months he walked || in 
 the palace of the kingdom of Babjdon. 
 
 30 The king "spake, and said, Is not this great, 
 Babylon, that I have built for the house of the king- 
 dom by the might of my power, and for the honout 
 of my majesty r 
 
 31 p While the word tvas in the king's mouth, 
 there fell »a vuice from heaven, saying, king Ne- 
 buchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is 
 departed from thee : 
 
 32 And 'they shall drive rnee from men, and thv 
 dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field : they 
 shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven timed 
 shall pass over thee, until thou know that the Must 
 
 giveth 
 
Belslmzzar s impious fea?t : 
 
 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' feathers, and his nails like birds' claws. 
 
 o4 And 'at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar 
 lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine under- 
 standing returned unto me, and I blessed the Most 
 High, and I praised and honoured him 'that liveth 
 for ever, whose dominion is "an everlasting dominion, 
 and his kingdom is from generation to generation: 
 
 35 And ^ all the inhabitants of the earth are re- 
 puted as nothing: and y he doeth according to his 
 will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabit- 
 ants of the earth : and = none can stay his hand, or 
 say unto him, "What doest thou? 
 
 36 At the same time my reason returned unto me ; 
 'and for the glory of my kingdom, mine honour and 
 brightness returned unto me; and my counsellors and 
 my lords sought unto me ; and I was established in my 
 kingdom, and excellent majesty was "added unto me. 
 
 37 Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and 
 honour the King of heaven, ''all whose works are 
 truth, and his ways judgment: e and those that walk 
 in pride he is able to abase.

 1 Belshazzar 1 s impious feast. 5 A hand writing on the wall. 
 
 BELSHAZZAR the king "made a great feast to 
 a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before 
 the thousand. 
 
 2 Belshazzar, while he tasted the wine, com- 
 manded to bring the golden and silver vessels * which 
 his || father Nebuchadnezzar had f taken out of the 
 temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king, and 
 his princes, his wives, and his concubines, might 
 drink therein. 
 
 3 Then they brought the golden vessels that were 
 taken out of the temple of the house of God which 
 was at Jerusalem; and the king, and his princes, 
 his wives, and his concubines, drank in them. 
 
 4 They drank wine, c and praised the gods of gold, 
 and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone. 
 
 5 1f''In the same hour came forth fingers of a 
 man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick 
 upon the plaster of the wall of the king's palace: 
 and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote. 
 
 6 Then the king's | countenance t was changed, 
 and his thoughts troubled him, so that the || | joints 
 of his loins were loosed, and his 'knees smote one 
 against another. 
 
 7 -/"The king cried f aloud to bring in *the astrolo- 
 gers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. And the 
 king spake and said to the wise men of Babylon, 
 Whosoever shall read this writing, and shew me the 
 interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with || scar- 
 let, 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, nor make known 
 to the king the interpretation thereof. 
 
 9 Then was king Belshazzar greatly * troubled, 
 and his f countenance was changed in him, and his 
 lords were astonied. 
 
 10 ^Noiv, the queen by reason of the words of 
 the king and his lords came into the banquet-house : 
 and the queen spake and said, '0 king, live for ever:

 Daniel rcproveth him. 
 
 let not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor let thy coun- 
 tenance be changed : 
 
 11 '"There is a man in thy kingdom, in whom is 
 the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of I by 
 II father light and understanding and wisdom, like 
 the wisdom of the gods, was found in him ; whom 
 the king Nebuchadnezzar thy || father, the king, J 
 sa//, thy father, made " master of the magicians, as- 
 trologers, Chaldeans, and sooth sayers: 
 
 12 "Forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and know- 
 ledge, and understanding, || interpreting of dreams, 
 and shewing 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 interpretation. 
 
 13 Then was Daniel brought in before the king. 
 And the king spake and said unto Daniel, Art thou 
 that Daniel, which art of the children of the cap- 
 tivity of Judah, whom the king my || father brought 
 out of Jewry? 
 
 14 I have even heard of thee, that 'the spirit of 
 the gods is in thee, and that light and understand 
 ing and excellent wisdom is found in thee. 
 
 15 And now r the wise men, the astrologers have 
 been brought in before me, that they should read 
 this writing, and make known unto me the inter- 
 pretation thereof: but they could not shew the 
 interpretation of the thing: 
 
 16 And I have heard of thee, that thou canst 
 fmake interpretations, and dissolve doubts: 'now 
 if thou canst read the writing, and make known to 
 me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed 
 with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about thy 
 neck, and shalt be the third ruler in the kingdom. 
 
 17 II Then Daniel answered and said before the 
 king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy || re- 
 wards to another; yet I will read the writing unto 
 the king, and make known to him the interpretation. 
 
 18 O thou king, 'the most high God gave Ne- 
 buchadnezzar thy father a kingdom, and majesty, 
 and glory, and honour: 
 
 19 And for the majesty that 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 *But when his heart was lifted up, and his 
 mind hardened || in pride, he was t deposed from his 
 kingly throne, and they took his glory from him. 
 
 21 And he was y 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 heaven; ^ till he knew that the most 
 high God ruled in the kingdom of men, and thai 
 he appointeth over it whomsoever he will. 
 
 22 And thou his son, O Belshazzar, "hast not 
 humbled thine heart, though thou knewest all this; 
 
 23 'But hast lifted up thyself against the Lord 
 of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of 
 his house before thee, and thou, ?nd thy lords, thy 
 wives and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them ■ 
 and thou hast praised the gods of silver, and gold, oi 
 brass, iron, wood, and stone, "which see not, nor hear, 
 nor know : and the God in whose h.?md thy breath is, 
 ''and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified 
 
 24 Then was the part of the huu) rem. horn 
 him; and this writing was written.

DanieVs preferment : 
 
 25 ITAnd this is the writing that was written, 
 MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPIlARSIN. 
 
 26 This is the interpretation of the thing; : 
 MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and 
 finished it. 
 
 27 TEKEL; 'Thou art weighed in the balances, 
 and art found wanting. 
 
 28 PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given 
 to the •'Medes and *' Persians. 
 
 29 Then commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed 
 Daniel with scarlet, and put a chain of gold about 
 nis neck, 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.

 1 DaniePs preferment. 16 He is cast into the den of lions. 18 He is 
 miraculously saved. 
 
 IT pleased Darius to set "over the kingdom an 
 hundred and twenty princes, which should be 
 over the whole kingdom; 
 
 2 And over these three presidents; of whom Dan- 
 iel was first : that the princes might give accounts 
 unto them, and the king should have 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 realm. 
 
 4 II c Then the presidents and princes sought to 
 find occasion against Daniel concerning the king- 
 dom; but they could find none occasion nor fault; 
 forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any 
 error ov fault found in him. 
 
 5 Then said these men, We shall not find any 
 occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against 
 him concerning the law of his God. 
 
 6 Then these presidents and princes || assembled 
 together to the king, and said thus unto him, ''King 
 Darius, live for ever. 
 
 7 All the presidents of the kingdom, the gover- 
 nors, and the princes, the counsellors, and the cap- 
 tains, have consulted together to establish a royal 
 statute, and to make a firm || decree, that whoso- 
 ever shall ask a petition of any god or man for 
 thirty days, save of thee, king, he shall be cast 
 into the den of lions. 
 
 8 Now, king, establish the decree, and sign the 
 writing, that it be not changed, according to the 'law 
 of the Medes and Persians, which faltereth not. 
 
 9 Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and 
 die decree. 
 
 10 Now when Daniel knew that the writing was 
 signed, he went into his house; and his windows being 
 open in his chamber ^ to ward Jerusalem, he kneeled 
 upon his knees g three times a day, and prayed, and 
 e;ave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime. 
 
 11 Then these men assembled, and found Daniel 
 praying and making supplication before his God. 
 
 12 A Then they came near, and spake before the 
 king concerning the king's decree; Hast thou not 
 signed a decree, that eveiy man that shall ask a 
 ■petition of any god or man within thirty days, save 
 of thee, king, shall be cast into the den of lions? 
 The king answered and said, The thing is true, 
 'according to the law of the Medes and Persians, 
 which altereth not

 He is cast into the lions' den. 
 
 13 Then answered they and said before the king, 
 That Daniel, * which is of the children of the cap- 
 tivity of Judah, 'regardeth not thee, king, nor 
 the decree that thou hast signed, but rnaketh his 
 petition three times a day. 
 
 14 Then the king, when he heard these words, 
 "'was sore displeased with himself, 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 unto the king, and 
 said unto the king, Know, king, that " the law of the 
 Medes and Persians is, That no decree nor statute 
 which the king establisheth may be changed. 
 
 16 Then the king commanded, and they brought 
 Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. JVotv the 
 king spake and said unto Daniel, Thy God whom 
 thou servest continually, 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 signet, and with the signet of his lords; that 
 the purpose might not be changed concerning Daniel. 
 
 18 If Then the king went to his palace, and passed 
 the niedit fasting : neither were || instruments of music 
 brought before him: 'and his sleep went from him. 
 
 19 Then the king arose very early in the morn- 
 ing, and went in haste unto the den of lions. 
 
 20 And when he came to the den, he cried with 
 a lamentable voice unto Daniel: and the king spake 
 and said to Daniel, O 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 unto 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 : for 
 asmuch as before him innocency was found in me; 
 and also before thee, king, have I done no hurt. 
 
 23 Then was the king exceeding glad for him, 
 and commanded that they should take Daniel up 
 out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the 
 den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, 
 x because he believed in his God. 
 
 24 If And the king commanded, y and they brought 
 those men which had accused Daniel, and thev cast 
 them into the den of lions, them, = their children, 
 and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of 
 them, and brake all their bones in pieces or ever 
 they came at the bottom of the den. 
 
 25 If "Then king Darius wrote unto all people, 
 nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; 
 Peace be multiplied unto you. 
 
 26 6 I make a decree, That in every dominion of 
 my kingdom men 'tremble and fear before the God 
 of Daniel : '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 unto the end. 
 
 27 He delivereth and rescueth, ■'and he worketh 
 signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who hath 
 delivered Daniel from the f power of the lions. 
 
 28 So this Daniel prospered in the ieign of 
 Darius, ^and in the reign of ''Cyrus the Persian. 
 
 CHAP. VII. 
 
 1 DanieVs vision of four beasts, 9 of God's kingdom: 15 The interpreta- 
 tion thereof. 
 
 IN the first year of Belshazzai king of Babylon 
 "Daniel fhad a dream and * visions of his head 
 upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and tdd 
 the sum of the || matters. 
 
Daniel's vision of the four beasts 
 
 2 Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by 
 night, and behold, the four winds of the heaven 
 strove upon the "Teat sea. 
 
 3 And four great beasts c came up from the sea, 
 diverse one from another. 
 
 4 The first ivas ''like a lion, and had eagle's wings; 
 [ beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, || and it 
 mi as lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon 
 i he feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it. 
 
 5 'And behold another beast, a second, like to a 
 bear, and || it raised up itself on one side, and it had 
 three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it; 
 ond they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh. 
 
 6 After this, I beheld, and lo, another, like a 
 leopard", which had upon 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 be- 
 hold *a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong 
 exceedingly ; and it had great iron teeth : it de- 
 voured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue 
 with the feet of it : and it was diverse from all the 
 beasts that were before it; ''and it had ten horns. 
 
 8 I considered the horns, and behold, 'there came 
 up among them another little horn, before whom 
 there were three of the first horns plucked up by the 
 roots: and behold, in this horn ivere eyes like the 
 eyes *of man, 'and a mouth speaking great things. 
 
 9 IF™ I beheld till the thrones were cast down, 
 and "the Ancient of days did sit, "whose garment 
 was white as snow, and the hair of his head like 
 the pure wool : his throne was tike the fiery flame, 
 "ami his wheels as burning fire. 
 
 10 q A fiery stream issued and came forth from be- 
 fore him : r thousand thousands ministered unto him, 
 and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: 
 'the judgment was set, 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 burning flame. 
 
 12 As concerning the rest of the beasts, they 
 had their dominion taken away : yet f their lives 
 were prolonged for a season and time. 
 
 13 I saw in the night visions, and behold, "one 
 like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, 
 and came to ""the Ancient of days, and they brought 
 him near before him. 
 
 14 y And there was given him dominion, and 
 glory, and a kingdom, that all ~ people, nations, and 
 languages, should serve him : his dominion is a an 
 everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, 
 and his kingdom, that which shall not be destroyed. 
 
 15 IT I Daniel * was grieved in my spirit in the midst 
 of my f body, and the isions of my head troubled me. 
 
 16 I came near unto one of them that stood by, 
 and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me, 
 and made, me know the interpretation of the things. 
 
 1 7 c These great beasts, which are four, are four 
 kings, which shall arise out of the earth. 
 
 18 But J the saints of the fMost High shall take 
 the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, 
 even for ever and ever. 
 
 19 Then 1 would know the truth of 'the fourth 
 be»st, which was diverse |from all the others, ex- 
 ceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his 
 nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and 
 stamped the residue with his feet •

 20 And of the ten horns that were in his head, 
 and of the other which came up, and before whom 
 three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a 
 mouth that spake very great things, whose look wai 
 more stout than his fellows. 
 
 21 I beheld, J ;i\u] the same horn made war \\i h 
 the saints, and prevailed against them; 
 
 22* Until the Ancient of days came,* and judgment 
 was given to the saints of the Most High; and the 
 time came that the saints possessed the kingdom. 
 
 23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be 'the 
 fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverge 
 from all kingdoms, and shall devour thewjhole eart'i, 
 
 ,- 
 
 '5 
 
 and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. 
 
 *And the ten horns out of this kingdom, are 
 
 24 
 ten kings, that shall arise : and another shall rise 
 after them ; and he shall be diverse from the first, 
 and he shall subdue three kings. 
 
 25 'And he shall speak great words against the 
 Most High, and shall '" wear out the saints of the 
 Most High, and "think to change times and laws: 
 and "they shall be given into his hand ''until a time 
 and times and the dividing of time. 
 
 26 ''But the judgment shall sit, and they shall 
 take away his dominion to consume and to destroy 
 it unto the end. 
 
 27 And the ""kingdom and dominion, and the 
 greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven. 
 shall be given to the people, of the saints of the 
 Most High, * whose kingdom is an everlasting king- 
 dom, 'and all || dominions shall serve and obey him. 
 
 28 Hitherto is the end of the matter. As for 
 me Daniel, "my cogitations much troubled me, and 
 my countenance changed in me : but 1 ■"kept the 
 matter in my heart. 
 
 CHAP. VIII. 
 
 Daniel's vision <f the ram and he-goat. 
 
 IN the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar 
 a vision appeared unto me, even unto me Daniel, 
 after that which appeared unto ine "at the first. 
 
 2 And I saw in a vision ; and it came to pass, 
 when I saw, that I ivas at 4 Shushan in the palace, 
 which is in the province of Elam ; and I saw in a 
 vision, and I 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 tivo horns vjere high ; but one was 
 higher than | the other, and the higher came up last. 
 
 4 I saw the ram pushing westward, and north- 
 ward, and southward ; so that no beasts might stand 
 before him, neither was there any that could deliver 
 out of his hand; c but he did according to his will. 
 and became great. 
 
 5 And as I was considering, behold, an he-goat 
 came from the west on the face of the whole earth, 
 and || touched not the ground : and the* goat had 
 f''a notable 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 
 unto him in the fury of his power. 
 
 7 And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he 
 was moved with choler against him, and smote the 
 ram, and brake his two horns: and there was no 
 power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him 
 down to the ground, and stamped upon him : and there 
 was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand. 
 
 8 Therefore, the he-goat waxed very groat : and 
 
 when he was strong, the great horn was broken ; 
 
 ft li 
 
Gabriel hiterpreteth Daniel s vision. 
 
 and for it, came up 'four notable ones toward the 
 tour winds of heaven. 
 
 9 -/"And out of one of them came forth a little horn, 
 which waxed exceeding great, e toward the south, 
 and toward the east, and toward the h pleasant land. 
 
 10 'And it waxed great, even || to * the host of 
 heaven; and 'it cast down some of the host and of 
 the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them. 
 
 1 1 Yea, m he magnified himself even || to " the prince 
 of the host, "and || by him ''the daily sacrifice was taken 
 9 way, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down. 
 
 1 2 And * || an host was given him against the 
 daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast 
 down ' the truth to the ground; and it 'practised, 
 and prospered. 
 
 13 IF Then I heard "one saint speaking, and another 
 saint said unto ||f that certain saint which spake, How 
 long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, 
 and the transgression of || desolation, to give both the 
 sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot? 
 
 14 And he said unto me, Unto two thousand 
 and three hundred f days : then shall the sanctuary 
 be f cleansed. 
 
 15 IF And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, 
 had seen the vision, and y sought for the meaning, 
 then behold, there stood before me ~as the appear- 
 ance of a man. 
 
 16 And I heard a man's voice "between the banks 
 of Ulai, which 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 c fell upon my face: but 
 he said unto 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 toward the ground: 'but 
 he touched me, and fset 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 A 'The ram which thou sawest having two horns 
 are the kings of Media and Persia. 
 
 21 A And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: 
 and the great horn that is between his eyes 'is the 
 first king. 
 
 22 *Now that being broken, whereas four stood 
 up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the 
 nation, but not in his power. 
 
 23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when 
 the transgressors fare come to the full, a king '"of 
 fierce countenance, and understanding dark sen- 
 tences, " shall stand up. 
 
 24 And his power shall be mighty, "but not by 
 his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, 
 ''and shall ^prosper, and practise, ? and shall destroy 
 the mighty and the f holy people. 
 
 25 And 'through his policy also he shall cause 
 craft to prosper in his hand; 'and he shall magnify 
 himself in his heart, and by || peace shall destroy 
 many: "he shall also stand up against the Prince 
 of princes; but he shall be x broken without hand. 
 
 26 " And the vision of the evening and the morn- 
 mg which was told is true: "wherefore shut thou 
 up the vision; for it shall be for many days. 
 
 27 "And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain 
 days; afterward I rose up, * and did the king's busi- 
 ness; and 1 was astonished at the vision, c but none 
 understood it.

 CHAP. IX. 
 
 DanM, eonfesaitiff his sins, prai/eth for the restoration of Jerusalem. 
 
 IN the first year "of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, 
 of the seed of the Medes, || which was made 
 king over the realm of the €haldeans; 
 
 2 In the first year of his reign I Daniel under- 
 stood by books the number of the years, whereof 
 the word of the Lord came to 6 Jeremiah the prophet, 
 that he would accoriiplish seventy years in the deso- 
 lations of Jerusalem. 
 
 3 IF c And I set my face unto the Lord God, to 
 seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and 
 sackcloth, and ashes: 
 
 4 And I prayed unto the Lord my God, and made 
 my confession, and said, O rf Lord, the great and dread- 
 ful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that 
 love him, and to them that keep his commandments; 
 
 5 c We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, 
 and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by 
 departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments : 
 
 6 •'Neither have we hearkened unto thv servants 
 the prophets, which spake in thy name to oiu kings, 
 our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people 
 of the land. 
 
 7 O Lord, * righteousness || belongeth unto thee, 
 but unto us confusion of faces, as at ^his day; to 
 the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jeru- 
 salem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that 
 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 'confuoion of face, to 
 our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because 
 we have sinned against thee. 
 
 9 'To the Lord our God belong mercies and for- 
 givenesses, though we have rebelled against him; 
 
 10 k Neither have we obeyed the voice of the 
 Lord 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 that 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 spake against us, and against our judges that 
 judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil: "for 
 under the whole heaven hath not been done as 
 hath been done upon Jerusalem. 
 
 13 ; 'As it is written in the law of Moses, all this 
 evil is come upon us : ? yet fmade we not our prayer 
 before the Lord our God, that we might turn from 
 our iniquities, and understand thy truth. 
 
 14 Therefore hath the Lord 'watched upon the 
 evil, and brought it upon us: for 'the Lord our God 
 is righteous in all his works which he doe'th : 'for 
 we obeyed not his voice. 
 
 15 And now, O Lord our God, "that hast brought 
 thy people forth out of the land of Egypt with a 
 mighty hand, and hast f gotten thee x renown, as at 
 this day; y we have sinned, we have done wickedly. 
 
 16 If O Lord, ~ according to all thy righteousness, 
 I beseech thee, let thine anger and thy fury be 
 turned away from thy city Jerusalem, "thy holy 
 mountain: because for our sins, 6 and for the iniqui- 
 ties of our fathers, c Jerusalem and thy people d are 
 become a reproach to all that are about us. 
 
 17 Now therefore, O our God, hear the praver 
 
Hie. seventy weeks. 
 
 of thy servant, and his supplications, 'find cause thy 
 face to shine upon thy sanctuary -^that is desolate, 
 
 * for the Lord's sake. 
 
 18 h O my God, incline thine ear, and hear; open 
 Ihiue eyes, 'and hehold our desolations, and the city 
 
 * f which is called hy thy name : for we do not f pre- 
 sent our supplications before thee for our righteous- 
 nesses, but for thy great mercies. 
 
 19 Lord, hear; Lord, forgive; Lord, hearken 
 and do; defer not, 'for thine own sake, my God : 
 l'or thy city and thy people are called by thy name. 
 
 20 If"* And while I was speaking, and praying, 
 and confessing my sin, and the sin of my people 
 Israel, and presenting my supplication before the 
 Loud my God for the noly mountain of my God; 
 
 21 Yea, while I ivas speaking in prayer, even the 
 man " Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the 
 beginning, being caused to fly | swiftly, "touched me 
 ''about the time of the evening oblation. 
 
 22 And he informed me. and talked with me, and 
 said, Daniel, I am now come forth f to give thee 
 skill and understanding. 
 
 23 Atthe beginning of thy supplications the f com- 
 mandment came forth, and 9 I am come to shew thee; 
 
 for thou art f greatly beloved : therefore * understand 
 the matter, and consider the vision. 
 
 24 * Seventy weeks are determined upon thy 
 people and upon thy holy city, || to finish the trans- 
 gression, and || to make an end of sins, 'and to make 
 reconciliation for iniquity, "and to bring in everlast- 
 ing righteousness, and to seal up the vision and 
 f prophecy, •"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 unto "the Messiah Hhe Prince 
 shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks : 
 the street f shall be built again, and the || wall, c even 
 fin troublous times. 
 
 26 And after threescore and two weeks rf shall Mes- 
 siah be cut off, e || but not for himself: HandAhe people of 
 the prince that shall come^shall destroy the city*and the 
 sanctuary; 'and the end thereof shall be k with a flood,and 
 unto the end of the war || desolations are determined. 
 
 27 And he shall confirm ||' the covenant with '"many 
 for one week : and in the midst of the week he shall 
 cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, || and for 
 the overspreading of "abominations, he shall make it 
 desolate, "even until the consummation, and that de- 
 termined shall be poured || upon the desolate.

 fear, he is comforted bij the angel. 
 
 IN the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing 
 was revealed unto Daniel, "whose name was 
 called Belteshazzar; 'and the thing was true, c but 
 the time appointed ivas flong: and ''he understood 
 the thing, and had understanding of (he vision. 
 
 2 In those days I Daniel was mourning three 
 f full weeks. 
 
 o 1 ate no f pleasant bread, neither came flesh 
 nor wine in my mouth, r neither did I anoint myself 
 at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.

 7 And I Daniel ''alone saw the vision: for the 
 men that were with me saw not the vision; but a 
 great quaking fell upon them, so that they fled In 
 hide themselves. 
 
 8 Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great 
 vision, 'and there remained no strength in me: for 
 my || 'comeliness was turned in me into corruption, 
 and I retained 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 toward the ground. 
 
 10 If" And behold, an hand touched me, which f set 
 me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands 
 
 11 And he said unto me, O Daniel, J fa mar. 
 greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak 
 unto thee, and f stand upright: for unto thee am 1 
 now sent. And when he had SDoken this word 
 unto me, I stood trembling. 
 
 12 Then said he unto me, y Fear not, Daniel: for 
 from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to 
 understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, 
 ~thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words. 
 
 13 "But the prince of the kingdom of Persia with 
 stood 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 understand 
 what shall befall thy people 'in the latter days: 
 ''for yet the vision is for many days. 
 
 15 And when he had spoken such words unto 
 me, 'I set my face toward the ground, and I became 
 dumb. 
 
 16 And behold, • / 0??£ like the similitude of the sons 
 of men *' touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, 
 and spake, and said unto him that stood before me, 
 O my lord, by the vision ; 'my 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 for me, straightway 
 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, 
 
 19 And said, 'O man greatly beloved, M^ear not : 
 peace be unto thee, be strong, ) ea, be strong. And 
 when he had spoken untome,Iwas strengthened. anu 
 said. Let my lord speak ; for thou hast strengthened nif*. 
 
 20 Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore 1 eomu 
 unto thee? and now will I return to fight 'with the 
 prince of Persia : and when I am gone forth, lo, the 
 prince of Grecia shall come. 
 
 21 But I will shew thee that which is noted in the 
 scripture of truth: and there is none that fholdeth 
 with me in these things, '"but Michael your prince.

 his strength through his riches, he shall stir up all 
 against the realm of Grecia. 
 
 3 And c a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule 
 with great dominion, and 'Mo according f o his will. 
 
 4 And when he shall stand up, f his kingdom shall 
 be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds 
 of heaven; and not to his posterity, 'nor according 
 to his dominion which he ruled: for his kingdom 
 shall be plucked up, even for others besides those. 
 
 5 llAnd the king of the south shall be strong, and one 
 of his princes ; and he shall be strong above him, and 
 nave dominion ; his dominion shall ben great dominion. 
 
 G And in (he end of years they f shall join them- 
 selves together; for the king's daughter of the south 
 shall come to the king of the north to make t an agree- 
 ment: but she shall not retain the power of the arm; 
 neither shall he stand, nor his arm: but she shall be 
 given up, and they that brought her, and || he that be- 
 gat her, and he that strengthened her in these times. 
 
 7 But out of a branch of her roots shall one stand 
 up || in his estate, which 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 princes, and with f their precious 
 vessels of silver and of gold ; and he shall continue 
 more years than the king of the north. 
 
 9 So the king of the south shall come into his 
 kingdom, and shall return into his own land. 
 
 10 But his sons || shall be stirred up, and shall 
 assemble a multitude of great forces : and one shall 
 certainly come, *and overflow, and pass through: 
 || then shall he return, and be stirred up, h even to 
 his fortress. 
 
 11 And the king of the south shall be moved 
 with choler, and shall come forth and fight with 
 him, even with the king of the north : and he shall 
 set forth a great multitude; 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 thousands : but he shall not be strength- 
 ened by it. 
 
 13 For the king of the north shall return, and 
 shall set forth a multitude greater than the former, 
 and shall certainly come | after certain 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 f the robbers 
 of thy people shall exalt themselves to establish 
 the vision; but they shall fall. 
 
 15 So the kins; of the north shall come, and cast 
 up a mount, and take fthe most fenced cities: and 
 the arms of the south shall not withstand, neither 
 t his chosen people, neither shall there be any strength 
 to withstand. 
 
 16 But he that cometh against him 'shall do ac- 
 cording to his own will, and fc none shall stand before 
 him : and he shall stand in the || f glorious 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, f corrupting her: but she 
 shall not stand on his side, '"neither be for him. 
 
 18 After this shall he turn his face unto the isles, 
 and shall take many: but a prince ffor his own be-

 not be found. 
 
 20 Then shall stand up || in his estate f a raiser 
 of taxes in the glory of the kingdom: but within 
 few days he shall be destroyed, neither in f anger 
 nor in battle. 
 
 21 And || in his estate "shall stand up a vile per- 
 son, to whom they shall not give the honour of the 
 kingdom : but he shall come in peaceably, and ob- 
 tain the kingdom by flatteries. 
 
 22 /'And with the arms of a flood shall they be 
 overflown from before him, and shall be broken; 
 ry yea, also the prince of the covenant. 
 
 23 And after the league made with him r he shall 
 work deceitfully : for he shall come up, and shall 
 become strong with a small people. 
 
 24 He shall enter || peaceably even upon the fat- 
 test 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 f forecast his 
 devices against the strong holds, even for a time. 
 
 25 And he shall stir up his power and his courage 
 against the king of the south with a gi'eat army; and 
 the king of the south shall be stirred up to battle with 
 a very great and mighty army ; but he shall not 
 stand: for they shall forecast devices against him. 
 
 26 Yea, they that feed of the portion of his 
 meat shall destroy him, and his army shall 'over- 
 flow : and many shall fall down slain. 
 
 27 And both these kings' f hearts 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 witn great 
 riches; and ^his heart shall be against the holy cov- 
 enant; and he shall do exploits, and return to his 
 own land. 
 
 29 At tjbe time appointed he shall return, and 
 come toward the south; ^but it shall not be as the 
 former, "or as the latter. 
 
 30 IT 4 For the ships of Chittim shall come against 
 him : therefore he shall be grieved, and return, and 
 have indignation ""against the holy covenant: so 
 shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelli- 
 gence with them that forsake the holy covenant. 
 
 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 || maketh desolate. 
 
 32 And such as do wickedly against the covenant 
 shall he || corrupt by flatteries : but the people that do 
 know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. 
 
 33 'And they that understand among the people 
 shall instruct many : k y et they shall fall by the sword, 
 and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many d,\ys. 
 
 34 Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen 
 with a little help : but. many shall cleave to them 
 with flatteries. 
 
 35 And some of them of understanding shall fall, 
 'to try || them, and to purge, and to make them 
 white, 'even to the time of the end: p because it is 
 yet for a time appointed. 
 
 36 And the king "shall do according to his will 
 and he shall 'exalt himself, and magnify himself 
 
Israel shall be delivered. 
 
 above every god, and shall speak marvellous things 
 'against the God of gods, and shall prosper 'till the 
 indignation be accomplished : for that that is deter- 
 mined shall be done. 
 
 37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, 
 "nor the desire of women, x nor regard any god : for 
 he shall magnify himself above all. 
 
 38 || But fin his estate shall he honour the god 
 of || f forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not 
 shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with pre- 
 cious stones, and f pleasant things. 
 
 39 Thus shall he do in the t most strong holds 
 with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and 
 increase with glory : and he shall cause them to 
 -ule over many, and shall divide the land for f gain. 
 
 40 y 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 I like a whirlwind, with char- 
 iots, "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 || \ glorious land, 
 and many countries shall be overthrown: but these 
 shall escape out of his hand, c even Edom and Moab, 
 and the chief of the children of Ammon. 
 
 42 He shall f stretch forth his hand also upon the 
 countries : and the land of Egypt shall not escape. 
 
 43 But he shall have power over the treasures 
 of gold and of silver, and over all the precious 
 things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethio- 
 pians shall be d \xi his steps. 
 
 44 But tidings out of the east and out of the 
 north shall trouble him : therefore he shall go forth 
 with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make 
 away many. 
 
 45 And' he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace 
 between the seas in 'the || f glorious holy mountain: 
 J yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.

 Daniel informed of the limts 
 
 such as never was since there was a nation even to 
 that same time : and at that time thy people r shall 
 be delivered, every one that shall be found ''writ- 
 ten in the book. 
 
 2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of 
 the earth shall awake, 'some to everlasting life, and 
 some to shame 'and everlasting contempt. 
 
 3 And * they that be || wise, shall * shine as the 
 brightness of the firmament; 'and they that turn 
 many to righteousness, *as the stars for ever and ever 
 
 4 'But thou, O Daniel, m shut up the words, and seal 
 the book, even to "the time of the end : many shall 
 run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. 
 
 5 IFThen I Daniel looked, and behold, there stood 
 other two, the one on this side of the f bank of the 
 river, and the other on that side of the bank *of the 
 river. 
 
 6 And one said to p the man clothed in linen, which 
 was || upon 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, which 
 was upon the waters of the river, when he r held up 
 his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and 
 sware by him 'that liveth for ever, 'that it shall be 
 for a time, times, and || an half; "and when he shall 
 have accomplished to scatter the power of x 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 closed up and sealed ^ till the time of the end. 
 
 10 *Many shall be purified, and made white, and 
 tried; "but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none 
 of the wicked shall understand ; but 'the wise shall 
 understand. 
 
 11 And from the time c that the daily sacrifice 
 shall be taken away, and f the abomination that 
 || maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand 
 two hundred and ninety days. 
 
 12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the 
 thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. 
 
 13 But ''go thou thy way till the end be: H'for 
 thou shalt rest, J and stand in thy lot at the end of 
 the days.

 rpiIE word of the Lord that came unto Hosea, 
 -L the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, 
 Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the 
 days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel. 
 
 2 The beginning of the word of the Lord by 
 Hosea. And the Lord said to Hosea, "Go, take 
 unto thee a wife of whoredoms and children of 
 whoredoms; for Hhe land hath committed great 
 whoredom, departing from the Lord. 
 
 3 So he went and took Gomer the daughter of 
 Diblaim ; which conceived, and bare him a son. 
 
 4 And the Lord said unto him, Call his name Jez- 
 reel; for yet a little while, 'and I will f avenge the 
 blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, J and will 
 cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel. 
 
 5 'And it shall come to pass at that day, that I 
 will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.

 SAY ye unto your brethren, || Ammi; and to your 
 sisters, || Ruhainah. 
 
 2 Plead with your mother, plead; for "she is not 
 my wife, neither am I her husband : let her there- 
 fore put away her b whoredoms out of her sight, and 
 her adulteries from between her breasts; 
 
 3 Lest C I strip her naked, and set her as in the day 
 that she was d born, and make her e as a wilderness, 
 and set her like a dry land, and slay her with J thirst. 
 
 4 And I will not have mercy upon her children; 
 for they be the s children of whoredoms. 
 
 5 h For their mother hath played the harlot : she 
 that conceived them hath done shamefully : for she 
 said, I will go after my lovers, 'that give me my 
 bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil 
 and my f drink. 
 
 6 II Therefore, behold, *I will hedge up thy way 
 with thorns, and f make a wall, 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 and return to my "'first husband; for then was it 
 better with me than now. 
 
 8 For she did not "know that "I gave her corn, 
 and twine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and 
 gold, || ivkich they prepared for Baal. 
 
 9 Therefore, will I return, and p take away my 
 corn in the time thereof, and my wine in the season 
 thereof, and will || recover my wool and my flax given 
 to cover her nakedness. 
 
 10 And now 'will I discover her f lewdness in 
 the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her 
 out of mine hand. 
 
 11 r I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her 
 'feast days, her new-moons, and her sabbaths, and 
 all her solemn feasts. 
 
 12 And I will f destroy her vines and her fig-trees, 
 'whereof she hath said, These are my rewards that 
 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 upon 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 forgat me, saith the Lord. 
 
 14 ^Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and 
 * bring her into the wilderness, and speak || f com- 
 fortably unto her. 
 
 15 And I will give her her vineyards from thence, 
 and Hhe valley of Achor for a door of hope: and 
 she shall sing there, as in "the days of her youth, 
 and 6 as in the day when she came up out of the 
 land of Egypt. 
 
 16 And it shall be at that day, saith the Lord, 
 thai thou shalt call me || Ishi; and shalt call me no 
 more || Baali. 
 
 17 For C I will take away the names of Baalim 
 out of her mouth, and they shall no more be re- 
 membered by their name.

 CHAP. III. 
 
 By the expiation of an adulteress, is shewed the desolation of Israel befor* 
 
 their restoration. 
 
 THEN said the Lord unto me, "Go yet, love a 
 woman beloved of her 'friend, yet an adulteress, 
 according; to the love of the Lord toward the chil- 
 dren of Israel, who look to other gods, and love 
 flagons fof wine. 
 
 2 So I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of 
 silver, and for an homer of barley, and an f half 
 homer of barley : 
 
 3 And I said unto 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 foi 
 thee. 
 
 4 For the children of Israel shall abide many 
 days d without a king, and without a prince, and with- 
 out a sacrifice, and without f & n image, and without 
 an 'ephod, and without S teraphim : 
 
 5 Afterwards shall the children of Israel return, 
 and *seek the Lord their God, and ''David their 
 king ; and shall fear the Lord and his goodness in 
 the 'latter days. 
 
 CHAP. IV. 
 
 1 God' s judgments against the sins of the people, #c. 15 Judah exhorted 
 to take warning by Israel's calamity. 
 
 HEAR the word of the Lord, ye children of 
 Israel : for the Lord hath a " controversy with 
 the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, 
 nor mercy, nor 'knowledge of God in the land. 
 
 2 By swearing, and lying, and killing, and steal- 
 ing, and committing adultery, they break out, and 
 t blood toucheth blood. 
 
 3 Therefore, "shall the land mourn, and ''every 
 one that dwelleth therein shall languish, 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 no man strive, nor reprove another; for 
 thy people are as they 'that strive with the priest. 
 
 5 Therefore, shalt thou fall • / in the day, and the 
 prophet also shall fall with thee in the night, and J 
 will f destroy thy mother. 
 
 G If* My people are t destroyed for lack of knowl- 
 edge : because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will 
 also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: 
 seeing' thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, 1 
 will also forget thy children. 
 
 7 h As they were increased, so they sinned against 
 me: ' therefore will I change their glory into shame. 
 
 8 They eat up the sin of my people, and thev 
 fset their heart on their iniquity 
 
Judgments against the priests, &c. 
 
 9 And there shall be, Mike people, like priest: 
 and I will t punish them for their ways, and | re- 
 ward them their doings. 
 
 10 For 'they shall eat, and not have enough : they 
 shall commit whoredom, and shall not increase : be- 
 cause they have left off to take heed to the Lord. 
 
 11 Whoredom and wine and new wine '"take 
 away the heart. 
 
 12 IT My people ask counsel at their "stocks, and 
 their staff declareth unto them: for "the spirit of 
 whoredoms hath caused them to err, and they have 
 gone a whoring from under their God. 
 
 13 ''They sacrifice upon the tops of the moun- 
 tains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks 
 and poplars and elms, because the shadow thereof is 
 good : « therefore your daughters shall commit whore- 
 dom, and your spouses shall commit adultery. 
 
 14 || I will not punish your daughters when they 
 commit whoredom, nor your spouses when thev 
 commit adultery : for themselves are separated with 
 whores, and they sacrifice with harlots : therefore 
 the people that r doth not understand shall || fall. 
 
 15 II Though thou, Israel, play the harlot, vet let 
 not Judah offend; 'and come not ye unto Gilgal, 
 neither go ye up to 'Beth-aven, "nor swear, The 
 Lord liveth. 
 
 16 For Israel 'slideth back as a backsliding 
 heifer : now the Lord will feed them as a lamb in a 
 large place. 
 
 17 Ephraim is joined to idols: y let him alone. 
 
 18 Their drink i~ is sour: they have committed 
 whoredom continually: z her f rulers with shame do 
 love, Give ye. 
 
 19 " The wind hath bound her up in her wings, and 
 'they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices. 
 
 CHAP. V. 
 
 1 God's judy merits against the priests, the people, and the princes of Israel, 
 for their manifold sins. 
 
 HEAR ye this, priests; and hearken, ye house 
 of Israel; and give ye ear, house of the king; 
 for judgment is toward you, because "ye have been 
 a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor. 
 
 2 And the revolters are 'profound to make slaugh- 
 ter, j| though I have been fa rebuker of them all. 
 
 3 ' I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from 
 me : for now, Ephraim, d thou committest whore- 
 dom, and Israel is defiled. 
 
 4 f || They will not frame their doings to turn 
 unto their God : for 'the spirit of whoredoms is in the 
 midst of them, and they nave not known the Lord. 
 
 6 And •'the pride of Israel doth testify to his face : 
 therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their ini- 
 quity ; Judah also shall fall with them. 
 
 6 *They shall go with their flocks and with their 
 hsrds to seek the Lord; but they shall not find 
 him; he hath withdrawn himself from them. 
 
 7 They have ''dealt treacherously against the 
 Lord: for they have begotten strange children: now 
 shall 'a month devour them with their portions. 
 
 8 *Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet 
 in Ramah: 'cry aloud at '"Beth-aven, "after thee, 
 Benjamin 
 
 9 Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke : 
 among the tribes of Israel have I made known that 
 which shall surely be. 
 
 10 The princes of Judah were like them that 
 remove the bound : therefore I will pour out my 
 
 wrath upon them like water.

 13 When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah 
 saw his 'wound, then went Ephraim 'to the Assy 
 rian, "and sent || to king Jareb: yet could he not 
 heal you, nor cure you of your wound. 
 
 14 For *I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and a.-, 
 a young lion to the house of Judah : y I, even I, will 
 tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall 
 rescue him. 
 
 15 IF I will go and return to my place, f till *they 
 acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: "in 
 their affliction they will seek me early. 
 
 CHAP. VI. 
 
 1 An exhortation to repentance. 4 A complaint of their untowardness ami 
 
 iniquity. 
 
 COME, and let us return unto the Lord: for "he 
 hath torn, and 6 he will heal us; he hath smit- 
 ten, and he will bind us up. 
 
 2 'After two days will he revive us: in the third 
 day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. 
 
 3 d Then shall we know, if we follow on to know 
 the Lord : hi3 going forth is prepared 'as the morn- 
 ing; and f he shall come unto us 'as the rain, as the 
 latter and former rain unto the earth. 
 
 4 II h O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? 
 Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your || good- 
 ness is 'as a morning cloud, and as the early dew it 
 goeth away. 
 
 5 Therefore have I hewed them *by the } rophets; 
 I have slain them by 'the words of my mon h ; || and 
 thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth. 
 
 6 For I desired m mercy, and " not sacrifice ; and 
 the "knowledge of God more than burnt-oiferings. 
 
 7 But they || like men ^have transgressed the 
 covenant; 'there have they dealt treacherously 
 against me. 
 
 8 r Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity, 
 and is || polluted with blood. 
 
 9 And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so 
 'the company of priests murder in the way fby 
 consent : for they commit || lewdness. 
 
 10 I have seen 'an horrible thing in the house 
 of Israel: there is "the whoredom of Ephraim, 
 Israel is defiled. 
 
 11 Also, Judah, ^he hath set an harvest for 
 thee, y when I returned the captivity of my people. 
 
 CHAP. VII. 
 
 1 A reproof of manifold sins. 11 God's wrath against the people for 
 
 their hypocrisy. 
 
 T^THEN I would have healed Israel, then the 
 ' ' iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the 
 f wickedness of Samaria: for "they commit false- 
 hood: and the thief cometh in, and the troop of 
 robbers fspoileth without. 
 
 2 And they t consider not in their hearts, that I *re- 
 member all their wickedness: now 'their own doing* 
 have beset them about ; the)'' are ^before my face. 
 
 3 They make the king glad with their wicked- 
 ness, and the princes 'with their lies. 
 
 4 •/'The}' are all adulterers, as an oven heated by 
 the baker, || ivho ceaseth || from raising after he hath 
 kneaded the dough until it be leavened. 
 
 5 In the day of our king the princes have made 
 him sick II with" bottles of wine; he stretched out hw 
 hand with scorners. 
 
 &4V 
 
Destruction threatened for impiety, &c. 
 
 6 For they have || made ready their heart like an 
 oven, while they lie in wait: their baker sleepeth all 
 the night; in the morning it burneth as a flaming fire. 
 
 7 they are all hot as an oven, and have devoured 
 their judges; 'all their kings "are fallen: l there is 
 none among them that calleth unto me : 
 
 8 Ephraun, he *hath mixed himself among the 
 people ; Ephraim is a cake not turned. 
 
 9 'Strangers have devoured his strength, and he 
 knoweth it not; yea, gray hairs are there and there 
 upon him, yet he knoweth not. 
 
 10 And the '"pride of Israel testifieth to his face: 
 and B they do not return to the Lord their God, nor 
 seek him for all this. 
 
 11 IT" Ephraim also is like a silly dove without 
 heart: ''they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria. 
 
 12 When they shall go, 'I will spread my net 
 upon them; I will bring them down as the fowls of 
 the heaven; I will chastise them, r as their congre- 
 gation hath heard. 
 
 13 Wo unto them! for they have fled from me: 
 f destruction unto them! because they have trans- 
 gressed against me: though *I have redeemed them, 
 yet they have spoken lies against me. 
 
 14 'And they have not cried unto me with their 
 heart, when they howled upon their beds: they 
 assemble themselves for corn and wine, and thej^ 
 rebel against me. 
 
 15 Though 1 1| have bound and strengthened their 
 arms, yet do they imagine mischief against me. 
 
 16 " They return, but not to the Most High : x they 
 are like a deceitful bow : their princes shall fall by 
 the sword for the y rage of their tongue: this shall 
 be their derision 2 in the land of Egypt. 
 
 CHAP. VIII. 
 
 Destruction threatened for Israel's impiety and idolatry. 
 
 SET "the trumpet to tthy mouth. He shall come 
 'as an eagle against the house of the Lord, 
 because c they have transgressed my covenant, and 
 trespassed against my law. 
 
 2 ''Israel shall cry unto me, My God, 'we know 
 thee. 
 
 3 Israel hath cast off the thing that is good : the 
 enemy shall pursue him. 
 
 4 /They have set up kings, but not by me: they 
 have made princes, and I knew it not: ff of their 
 silver and their gold have they made them idols, 
 that they may be cut off. 
 
 5 II Thy calf. Samaria, hath cast thee off; mine 
 anger is kindled against them: ''how long will it be 
 ere they attain to innocency? 
 
 6 For from Israel was it also : the workmen made 
 it; therefore it is not God: but the calf of Samaria 
 shall be broken in pieces. 
 
 7 For 'they have sown the wind, and they shall 
 reap the whirlwind : it hath no || stalk : the bud 
 shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, fc the strangers 
 shall swallow it up. 
 
 8 'Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be 
 among the Gentiles m as a vessel wherein is no 
 pleasure. 
 
 9 For "they are gone up to Assyria, "a wild ass 
 alone by himself: Ephraim f hath hired | lovers. 
 
 10 Yea, though they have hired among the nations, 
 now 'will I gather them, and they shall || sorrow || a 
 little for the burden of r the king of princes. 
 
 11 Because Ephraim hath made "many altars to 
 sin, altars shall be unto him to sin.

 IsraeFs distress and captivity 
 
 12 I have written to him 'the great things of my 
 law, but they were counted as a strange thing. 
 
 13 " || They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of mine 
 offerings, and eat it; x but the Lord accepteth them 
 not; y now will he remember their iniquity, and visit 
 their sins: z they shall return to Egypt. 
 
 14 "For Israel hath forgotten *his Maker, and 
 'buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fenced 
 cities: but d I will send a fire upon his cities, and it 
 shall devour the palaces thereof. 
 
 CHAP. IX. 
 
 The distress and captivity of Israel for sin and idolatry. 
 
 REJOICE not, Israel, for joy, as other people: 
 for thou "hast gone a whoring from thy God, 
 thou hast loved a * reward || upon every corn-floor. 
 
 2 'The floor and the || wine-press shall not feed 
 them, and the new wine shall fail in her. 
 
 3 They shall not dwell in ''the Lord's land; 'but 
 Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and J they shall eat 
 unclean things «in Assyria. 
 
 4 A They shall not offer wine-offerings to the Lord, 
 'neither shall they be pleasing unto him : Hheir sacri- 
 fices shall be unto them as the bread of mourners; all 
 that eat thereof shall be polluted : for their bread 'for 
 their soul shall not come into the house of the Lord. 
 
 5 What will ye do in '"the solemn day, and in the 
 day of the feast of the Lord? 
 
 6 For lo, they are gone because of f destruction : 
 " Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury 
 them: ||f the pleasant places for their silver, "nettles 
 shall possess them : thorns shall be in their tabernacles. 
 
 7 The days of visitation are come, the days of 
 recompense are come; Israel shall know it: the 
 prophets a fool, f^the spiritual 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 wa}'s, 
 and hatred || in the house of his God. 
 
 9 r They have deeply corrupted themselves as in 
 the days of 'Gibeah: ' therefore he will remember 
 their iniquity, he will visit their sins. 
 
 10 I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; 
 I saw your fathers as "the first-ripe in the fig-tree 
 r at her first time : but they went to y Baal-peor, and 
 1 separated themselves "unto that shame; 'and their 
 abominations were according as they loved. 
 
 11 As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away 
 like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and 
 from the conception. 
 
 12 c Though they bring up their children, yet J will 
 I bereave them, that there shall not be a man left: 
 yea, 'wo also to them when I -''depart from thenu! 
 
 13 Ephraim, *as I saw Tyrus, is planted in a 
 pleasant place: A but Ephraim shall bring forth his 
 children to the murderer. 
 
 14 Give them, Lord: what Avilt thou give? give 
 them 'a f miscarrying womb and dry breasts. 
 
 15 All their wickedness k is in Gilgal: for there 1 
 •hated them: 'for the wickedness of their doings I 
 will drive them out of mine house, I will love them 
 no more: m all their princes are revolters. 
 
 16 Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they 
 shall bear no fruit : yea, " though they bring forth, 
 yet will I slay even t the beloved fruit of their womb 
 
 17 My God will cast them away, because they 
 did not hearken unto him: and they shall be "wan- 
 derers among the nations.

 CHAP. X. 
 
 Israel reproved and threatened for impiety and idolatry. 
 
 ISRAEL is a || an empty vine, he bringeth forth fruit 
 unto himself: according to the multitude of his 
 fruit 'he hath increased the altars; according to the 
 goodness of his land f they have made goodly | images. 
 
 2 || Their heart is ''divided ; now shall they be found 
 faulty: he shall f break down their altars, he shall 
 spoil their images. 
 
 3 r For now they shall say, We have no king, be- 
 cause we feared not the Lord; what then should 
 a king do to us? 
 
 4 They have spoken words, swearing falsely in 
 making a covenant: thus judgment springeth up 
 /- as hemlock in the furrows of the field. 
 
 5 The inhabitants of Samaria shall fear because 
 of s the calves of '' Beth-aven : for the people thereof 
 shall mourn over it, and || the priests thereof that 
 rejoiced on it, 'for the glory thereof, because it is 
 departed from it. 
 
 6 It shall be also carried unto Assyria, for a pre- 
 sent to *king Jareb: Ephraim shall receive shame, 
 and Israel shall be ashamed ' of his own counsel. 
 
 7 m As for Samaria, her king is cut off as the foam 
 upon fthe 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 
 mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us. 
 
 9 r O 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 'It is in my desire that I should chastise them ; 
 and "the people shall be gathered against them, || when 
 they shall bind themselves in their two furrows. 
 
 11 And Ephraim is as *an heifer that is taught, and 
 loveth to tread out the corn, but I passed over upon 
 f her fair neck: I will make Ephraim to ride; Judah 
 shall plough, and Jacob shall break his clods. 
 
 12 y Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in 
 mercy; * break up your fallow ground: for it is time 
 to seek the Lord, till he come and rain righteous- 
 ness upon you. 
 
 13 "Ye have ploughed wickedness, ye have reap- 
 ed iniquity; ye have 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 peo- 
 ple, and all thy fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shal- 
 uian spoiled c Beth-arbel in the day of battle: d the 
 mother was dashed in pieces upon her children. 
 
 15 So shall Beth-el do unto you because of fyour 
 great wickedness : in a morning 'shall the king of 
 Israel utterly be cut off. 
 
 CHAP. XL 
 
 I The ingratitude of Israel unt: God for his benefits: 5 his judgment. 
 8 God's mercy toward them. 
 
 WHEN "Israel was a child, then I loved him, 
 and 'called my r son out of Egypt. 
 
 2 As they called them, so they went from them : 
 •they sacrificed unto Baalim, and burned incense to 
 graven images. 
 
 3 'I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by 
 their arms; but they knew not that •'I healed them. 
 
 4 I drew them with cords of a man, with bands 
 of love : and * I was to them as they that t take off the 
 yoke on their jaws, and h l laid meat unto them. 
 
 CHAP. X, XI, XII. Ephraim, <ke. reprwed. 
 
 5 IP Ho shall not return into the land of Egypt, 
 but the Assyrian shall be his king, 4 because they 
 refused to return. 
 
 G And the sword shall abide on his cities, ami 
 shall consume his branches, and devour them, 'be- 
 cause of their own counsels. 
 
 7 And my people are bent to "' backsliding from 
 me: "though they called them to the Most High, 
 f none at all would exalt him. 
 
 8 "How shall I give thee up, Ephraim ? how shall I 
 deliver thee, Israel ? how shall I make thee as ^ Ad matt? 
 how shall I set thee as Zeboim ? "mine heart is turned 
 within me, my repentings are kindled together. 
 
 9 I will not execute the fierceness of mine an- 
 ger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: r for J 
 am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst 
 of thee: and I will not enter into the city. 
 
 10 Thev shall walk after the Lord: 'he shall 
 roar like a lion : when he shall roar, then the chil- 
 dren shall tremble 'from the west. 
 
 11 They shall tremble as a bird out of Egypt, 
 "and as a dove out of the land of Assyria: 'and 1 
 will place them in their houses, saith the Lord. 
 
 12 y Ephraim compasseth me about with lies, and 
 the house of Israel with deceit: but Judah yet 
 ruleth with God, and is faithful || with the saints. 
 
 CHAP. XII. 
 
 1 A reproof of Ephraim, Judah, and Jacob. 7 Ephraim's sins and 
 
 ingratitude provoke God. 
 
 EPHRAIM "feedeth on wind, and followeth after 
 the east wind : he daily increaseth lies and 
 desolation; 'and they do make a covenant wth the 
 Assyrians, and c oil is carried into Egypt. 
 
 2 ''The Lord hath also a controversy with Ju- 
 dah, and will t punish Jacob according to his ways; 
 according to his doings will he recompense him. 
 
 3 If He took his brother ' by the heel in the womb, 
 and by his strength he t^had power with God: 
 
 4 Yea, he had power over the angel, and pre- 
 vailed : he wept, and made supplication unto him : 
 he found him in s Beth-el, and there he spake with us; 
 
 5 Even the Lord God of hosts; the Lord is his 
 'memorial. 
 
 6 'Therefore, turn thou to thy God: keep mercy 
 and judgment, and *wait on thy God continually. 
 
 7 H lie is II a merchant, ' the balances of deceit 
 are in his hand : he loveth to || oppress. 
 
 8 And Ephraim said, "'Yet I am become rich, I 
 have found me out substance: Win all my labours 
 they shall find none iniquity in me f that were sin. 
 
 9 And "I that am the Lord thy God from the 
 land of Egypt "will yet make thee to dwell in 
 tabernacles, as in the days of the solemn feasts. 
 
 10 ; 'I have also spoken by the prophets, and I 
 have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, f by 
 the ministry of the prophets. 
 
 11 q Is there iniquity in Gilead? surely they are 
 vanity: they sacrifice bullocks in' Gilgal; yea, 'their 
 altars are as heaps in the furrows of the fields. 
 
 12 And 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 the Lord brought Israel 
 out of Eg} r pt, and by a prophet was he preserved. 
 
 14 y Ephraim provoked him to anger f most bit- 
 terly: therefore shall he leave his | blood upon him, 
 *and his "reproach shall his Lord return uuto him.

 1 JUphraim's glory, by reason of idolatry, vanisheth. 6 God's anger for 
 their unkindness. 9 A promise, of God's mercy. 
 
 WHEN Ephraim spake trembling, he exalted 
 himself in Israel; but "when he offended in 
 Baal, he died. 
 
 2 And now fthey sin more and more, and *have 
 made them molten images of their silver, awe? idols 
 according to their own understanding, all of it the 
 work of the craftsmen : they say of them, Let || the 
 men that sacrifice 'kiss the calves. 
 
 3 Therefore they shall be d as the morning cloud, 
 and as the early dew that passeth away, 'as the 
 chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the 
 floor, and as the smoke out of the chimney. 
 
 4 Yet ^I am the Lord thy God from the land of 
 Egypt, and thou shalt know no God but me: for 
 'ihere is no saviour beside me. 
 
 5 IP I did know thee in the wilderness, 'in the 
 land of f great drought. 
 
 6 * According to their pasture, so were they filled; 
 they were filled, and their heart was exalted : there- 
 fore 'have they forgotten me. 
 
 7 Therefore m I will be unto them as a lion : as 
 "a leopard by the way will I observe them. 
 
 8 I will meet them "as a bear that is bereaved of 
 her whelps, and will rend the caul of their heart, 
 and there will I devour them like a lion : f the wild 
 beast shall tear them. 
 
 9 HO Israel, ^thou hast destroyed thyself; 'but 
 in me f is thine help. 
 
 10 || I will be thy king: r where is any other that 
 may save thee in all thy cities? and 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 bound up; his 
 sin is hid. 
 
 13 *The sorrows of a travailing woman shall 
 come upon him: he is y an unwise son; for he should 
 not x stay flong in the place of the breaking forth 
 of children.

 5 I will be as Hhe dew unto Israel : he shall Hgrow

 6 His branches f shall spread, and 'his beauty

 7 " They that dwell under his shadow shall return;

 2 Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye

 cometh, for it is nigh at hand;

 clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread 
 upon the mountains: e a great people and a strong; 
 •/there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any 
 more after it, even to the years f of many generations. 
 
 3 e A. fire devoureth before them; and behind

 Eden before them, 'and behind them a desolate

 of horses; and as horsemen so shall they run. 
 
 5 'Like the noise of chariots on the tops of moun- 
 tains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of 
 fire that devoureth the stubble, m as a strong people 
 set in battle-array. 
 
 6 Before their face the people shall be much 
 pained: "all faces shall gather f blackness. 
 
 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 
 Tvalk every one in his path : and when they fall upon 
 the || sword, they shall not be wounded. 
 
 9 They shall run to and fro in the city ; they shall 
 run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses ; 
 they shall "enter in at the windows ''like a thief. 
 
 10 ? The earth shall quake before them; the hea-

 them down into c the valley of Jehoshaphat, and ''will 
 plead with them there for my people and for my 
 heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among 
 the nations, and parted my land. 
 
 3 And they have 'cast lots for my people; and 
 have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for 
 wine, that they might drink. 
 
 4 Yea, and what have ye to do Avith me. / 
 Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? 
 •will ye render me a recompense? and if ye recom-

 recompense upon your own head ;

 and have carried into your temples my goodly 
 f pleasant things. 
 
 6 The children also of Judah and the children of 
 Jerusalem have ye sold unto f the Grecians, that ye 
 might remove them far from their border. 
 
 7 Behold, h l will raise them out of the place 
 whither ye have sold them, and will return your 
 recompense upon your own head : 
 
 8 And I will sell your sons and your daughters

 THE words of Amos, "who was among the herd- 
 men of * Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel 
 'in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the 
 days of ''Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, 
 two years before the 'earthquake. 
 
 2 And he said, The Lord will •''roar from Zion, and 
 utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the habitations 
 of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of *Car- 
 mel shall wither. 
 
 3 Thus saith the Lord; For three transgressions 
 of '' Damascus, || and for four, I will not || turn away 
 the punishment thereof; 'because they have threshed 
 Gilead with threshing instruments of iron : 
 
 4 ''But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, 
 fvhich shall devour the palaces of Ben-hadad. 
 
 5 I will break also the 'bar of Damascus, and 
 cut off the inhabitant from || the plain of Aven, and 
 bim that holdeth the sceptre from || the house of 
 Eden: and m the people of Syria shall go into cap- 
 tivity "unto Kir, saith the Lord. 
 
 6 IF Thus saith the Lord; For three transgressions 
 of " Gaza, and for four, I will not turn away the pun- 
 ishment thereof: because they || carried away captive 
 the whole captivity, ^to deliver them up to Edom: 
 
 7 'But I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, 
 which shall devour the palaces thereof:

 gressions of Israel upon him, I will also visit the 
 altars of Beth-el: and the horns of the altar shali 
 be cut off, and fall to the ground. 
 
 15 And I will smite 'the winter-house with *the 
 summer-house ; and 'the houses of ivory shall perish, 
 and the great houses shall have an end, saith the Lord. 
 
 CHAP. IV. 
 
 1 Israel reproved for oppression, 4 for idolatry, C and for their incorrigiblenr.i.i 
 
 HEAR this word, ye °kine of Bashan, that art 
 in the mountain^ of Samaria, which oppress 
 the poor, which crush the needy, which say to their 
 masters, Bring, and let us drink. 
 
 2 6 The Lord God hath sworn by his holiness, 
 that lo, the days shall come upon } r ou, that he will 
 take you away c with hooks, and } r our posterity with 
 fish-hooks. 
 
 3 And ''ye shall go out at the breaches, every cow 
 at that tvhich is before her ; and || ye shall cast them 
 into the palace, saith the Lord. 
 
 4 II e Come to Beth-el and transgress: at -^Gilgal 
 multiply transgression; and s bring your sacrifices 
 every morning, ''and your tithes after t three years: 
 
 5 'And | on ° er a sacrifice of thanksgiving with 
 leaven, and proclaim and publish * the free-offei ings : 
 'for t this liketh you, O ye children of Israel, saith 
 the Lord God. 
 
 6 II 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 unto me, saith 
 the Lord. 
 
 7 And also I have withholden the rain from you, 
 when there were yet three months to the harvest: and 
 I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not 
 to rain upon another city : one piece was rained upon, 
 and the piece whereupon it rained not withered. 
 
 8 So two or three cities wandered unto one city, 
 to drink water; but they were not satisfied: "yet 
 lurve ye not returned unto me, saith the Lord. 
 
 9 "I have smitten you with blasting and mildew: 
 || when your gardens and your vineyards and }"our 
 fig-trees and your olive-trees increased, ''the palmer- 
 worm devoured them : yet have ye nov returned 
 unto me, saith the Lord.

Exhortations to repentance. 
 
 10 I have sent among you the pestilence il 'after 
 the manner of Egypt: your young men have I slain 
 with the sword, f and have taken away y our horses; 
 and 1 have made the stink of your camps to come 
 up unto your nostrils : r yet have ye not returned 
 unto me, saith the Lord. 
 
 11 I have overthrown some of you, as God over- 
 threw ' Sodom and Gomorrah, 'and ye were as a 
 fire-brand plucked out of the burning: "yet have ye 
 not returned unto me, saith the Lord. 
 
 12 Therefore, thus will I do unto thee, Israel: 
 and because I will do this unto thee, * prepare to 
 meet thy God, Israel. 
 
 13 For lo, he that formeth the mountains, and 
 createth the || wind, y and declareth unto man what 
 is his thought, Hhat maketh the morning darkness, 
 'and treadeth upon the high places of the earth, 
 •The Lord, The God of hosts, is his name. 
 
 CHAP. V. 
 
 1 A lamentation for Israel. 4 An exhortation to repentance. 
 
 HEAR ye this word which I "take up against 
 you, even a lamentation, house of Israel. 
 
 2 The virgin of Israel is fallen ; she shall no 
 more rise : she is forsaken upon her land : there is 
 none to raise her up. 
 
 3 For thus saith the Lord God ; The city that 
 went out hy a thousand shall leave an hundred, and 
 that which went forth hy an hundred shall leave ten, 
 to the house of Israel. 
 
 4 IF For thus saith the Lord unto the house of 
 Israel, 6 Seek ye me, c and ye shall live : 
 
 5 But seek not d Beth-el, nor enter into Gilgal, and 
 pass not to 'Beer-sheba : for Gilgal shall surely go 
 m*o captivity, and J Beth-el shall come to nought. 
 
 6 *Seek the Lord, and ye shall live ; lest he break 
 out like fire in the house of Joseph, and de^om it, 
 and there he none to quench it in Beth-el. 
 
 7 Ye who Hum judgment to wormwood, and leave 
 off righteousness in the earth, 
 
 8 Seek him that maketh the 'seven stars and Orion, 
 and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, 
 'and maketh the day dark with night: that 'calleth 
 for the waters of the sea,, and poureth them out 
 upon the face of the earth : m The Lord is his name : 
 
 9 That strengthened the f spoiled against the 
 strong, so that the spoiled shall come against the 
 fortress. 
 
 10 " They hate him that rebuke th in the gate, and 
 they "abhor him that speaketh uprightly. 
 
 11 Forasmuch, therefore, as your treading is upon 
 the poor, and ye take from him burdens of wheat : 
 ''ye have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall 
 not dwell in them; ye have planted f pleasant vine- 
 yards, but ye shall not drink wine of them. 
 
 12 For I know your manifold transgressions and 
 mr mighty sins : ' they afflict the just, they take 
 
 I a bribe, and they r turn aside the poor in the gate 
 from their right. 
 
 13 Therefore, 'the prudent shall keep silence in 
 that time ; for it is an evil time. 
 
 14 Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: 
 and so the Lord, the God of hosts," shall be with 
 you, ( as ye have spoken. 
 
 15 "Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish 
 judgment in the gate : x it may be that the Lord God 
 of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph. 
 
 16 Therefore, the Lord, the God of hosts, the 
 Lord saith thus; Wailing shall he in all streets; and

 CHAP. VII. 
 
 The judgments of grasshoppers, and of fire, are diverted by the prayer of 
 
 Amos, $c. 
 
 fpiIUS hath the Lord God shewed unto me; and 
 J- behold, he formed || grasshoppers in the begin- 
 ning 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 God, forgive, I beseech thee: a ||by whom 
 shall Jacob arise ? for he is small. 
 
 3 b The Lcrd repented for this : It shall not be, 
 saith the Lord 
 
 4 IF Thus hath the Lord God shewed unto me : and 
 behold, the Lord God called to contend by fire, and 
 it devoured the great deep, and did eat up a part. 
 
 5 Then said I, Lord God, cease, I beseech 
 thee: c by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small. 
 
 6 The Lord repented for this : This also shall 
 uot be, saith the Lord God. 
 
 7 IF Thus he shewed me: and behold, the Lord 
 stood upon a wall made by a plumb-line, with a 
 plumb-line in his hand. 
 
 8 And the Lord said unto me, Amos, what seest 
 thou? and I said, A plumb-line. Then said the 
 Lord, Behold, d I will set a plumb-line in the midst 
 of my people Israel: 'I will not again pass by 
 them any more : 
 
 9 ^And the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, 
 and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; 
 and g 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 con- 
 spired against thee in the midst of the house of 
 Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words. 
 
 11 For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by 
 the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away cap- 
 tive out of their own land. 
 
 12 Also, Amaziah said unto Amos, thou seer, 
 go, flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there 
 eat bread, and prophesy there : 
 
 13 But k prophesy not again any more at Beth-el : 
 • for it is the king's || chapel, and it is the f king's court. 
 
 14 IF Then answered. Amos, and said to Amaziah, I 
 was no prophet, neither was I '"a prophet's son ; " but I 
 was an herdman, and a gatherer of || sycamore fruit : 
 
 15 And the Lord took me fas I followed the 
 flock, and the Lord said unto me, Go, prophes}' - 
 unto my people Israel. 
 
 Id IF Now, therefore, hear thou the word of the 
 Lord: Thou sayest, Prophesy not against Israel, 
 and "drop not thy word against the house of Isaac. 
 
 17 p Therefore thus saith the Lord ; q Thy wife shall 
 be an harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters 
 shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided 
 by line; and thou shalt die in a polluted land : and 
 Uriel shall surely go into captivity forth of his land.

 said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said the Lord 
 unto me, "The end is come upon my people of Israel 
 4 1 Avill not again pass by them any more. 
 
 3 And c the songs of the temple f shall be howl-

 8 ' Shall not the land tremble for this, and every 
 one mourn that dwelleth therein ? and it shall rise 
 up wholly as a flood : and it shall be cast out and

 Lord God, "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 mourning, and 
 all your songs into lamentation; ''and I will bring 
 up sackcloth upon all loim'. and baldness upon every 
 head; ? and I will make it as the mourning of an 
 only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day. 
 
 11 IF Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, 
 that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine 
 of bread, nor a thirst for water, but 'of hearing the 
 words of the Lord : 
 
 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 the Lord, and shall not find it. 
 
 13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young 
 men faint for thirst. 
 
 14 They that 'swear by 'the sin of Samaria, and 
 sa} r , Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The f manner 
 "of Beer-sheba liveth; even they shall fall, and 
 never rise up again.

 1 The certainty of Israel's desolation. 11 The restoring of the tabernacie 
 
 of David. 
 
 I SAW the Lord standing upon the altar: and he 
 said, Smite the || lintel of the door, that the posts 
 may shake : and || "cut them in the head all of them ; 
 and I Avill slay the last of them with the sword : 
 *he that fleeth of them shall not flee away, and he 
 that escapeth of them shall not be delivered. 
 
 2 c Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine 
 hand take them; ''though they climb up to heaven, 
 thence will I bring them down : 
 
 3 And though they hide themselves in the top 
 of Carmel, I will search and take them out thence; 
 and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom 
 of the sea, thence will I command the serpent, ami 
 he shall bite them : 
 
 4 And though they go into captivity before theii 
 enemies ' thence will I command the sword, and it 
 
The restoring of the 
 
 shall slay them: and 'I will sot mine eyes upon 
 them for evil, and not for good. 
 
 5 And the Lord God of hosts is he that toucheth 
 the land, and it shall 'melt, ''and all that dwell there- 
 in shall mourn : and it shall rise up wholly like a 
 flood ; and shall be drowned, as by the flood of Egypt. 
 
 6 It is he that buildetb. his || f stories in the heaven, 
 and hath founded his || troop in the earth; he that 
 *calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them 
 out upon the face of the earth : ' The Lord is his name. 
 
 7 Are ye not as the children of the Ethiopians 
 unto me, children of Israel? saith the Lord. 
 Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of 
 Egypt? and the '""Philistines from ■ Caphtor, and the 
 Syrians from "Kir? 
 
 8 Behold, /'the eyes of the Lord Gop are upon 
 the sinful kingdom, and I 'will destroy it from off 
 the face of the earth ; saving that I will not utterly 
 destroy the house of Jacob, saith the Lord. 
 
 9 For lo, I will command, and I will f sift the house 
 of Israel among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a 
 sieve, yet shall not the least f grain fall upon the earth.

 /jfiaA, tent to Nineveh, fleelh to Tarshish. 4 He is overtaken by a tem- 
 pest, and thrown into the sea, §c. 
 
 NOW the word of the Lord came unto " || Jonah 
 the son of Amittai, saying, 
 
 2 Arise, go to Nineveh, that b great city, and cry 
 against it; for 'their wickedness is come up before 
 me. 
 
 3 But Jonah ''rose up to flee unto Tarshish from 
 the presence of the Lord, and went down to ' Joppa : 
 and he found a ship going to Tarshish : so he paid 
 the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with 
 them unto Tarshish -/'from the presence of the 
 Lord. 
 
 4 IF But ff the Lord fsent out a great wind into 
 the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, 
 so that the ship fwas like to be broken. 
 
 5 Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every 
 man unto his god, and A cast forth the wares that 
 were in the ship into the sea, to lighten it of them. 
 But Jonah was 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 unto 
 him, What meanest thou, sleeper? arise, *call 
 upon thy God, 'if so be that God will think upon 
 us, that we perish not. 
 
 7 And they said every one to his fellow, Come, 
 and let us m cast lots, that we may know for whose 
 cause this evil is upon us. So they cast lots, and 
 the lot fell upon Jonah. 
 
 8 Then said they unto him, " Tell us, we pray 
 thee, for whose cause this evil is upon us ; What is 
 thine occupation? and whence comest thou? what 
 is thy country? and of what people art thou? 
 
 9 And he said unto them, I am an Hebrew ; and 
 1 fear || the Lord, the God of heaven, "which hath 
 made the sea and the dry land. 
 
 10 Then were the men '(-exceedingly afraid, and 
 said unto him, Why hast thou done this? For the 
 men knew that he fled from the presence of the 
 Lord, because he had told them. 
 
 11 IF Then said they unto him, What shall we do 
 unto thee, that the sea f may be calm unto us ? for 
 the sea || f wrought and was tempestuous. 
 
 12 And he said unto them, ''Take me up, and 
 cast me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be calm 
 unto you : for I know that for my sake this great 
 tempest is upon you. 
 
 13 Nevertheless the men f rowed hard to bring 
 it to the land; '-'but they could not: for the sea 
 wrought, and was tempestuous against them. 
 
 14 Wherefore they cried unto the Lord, and 
 said, We beseech thee, Lord, we beseech thee, 
 let us not perish for this man's life, and 'lay not 
 upon us innocent blood: for thou, Lord, 'hast 
 done as it pleased thee. 
 
 15 So they took up Jonah, and cast him forth 
 into thp sea: 'and the sea f ceased from her raging. 
 
 16 Then the men "feared the Lord exceedingly, 
 md f offered a sacrifice unto the Lord, and made 
 /ows. 
 
 17 If Now the Lord had prepared a great fish to 
 wallow up Jonah. And x Jonah was in the f belly 
 of the fish three days and three nights.

 1 The prayer of Jonah : 19 lie is delivered out uf the belly of the fish 
 
 THEN Jonah prayed unto the Lord his God out 
 of the fish's belly, 
 
 2 And said, 1 "cried || by reason of mine affliction 
 unto the Lord, 'and he heard me; out of the belly 
 of || hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice. 
 
 3 c For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the 
 t midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me 
 about : ''all thy billows and thy waves passed over me 
 
 4 'Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet 
 I will look again-/" toward thy holy temple. 
 
 5 The * waters compassed me about, even to the 
 soul : the depths closed me round about, the weeds 
 were wrapped about my head. 
 
 6 I went down to the f bottoms of the moun- 
 tains; the earth with her bars was about me for 
 ever: yet hast thou brought up my life MVom || cor- 
 ruption, O Lord my God. 
 
 7 When my soul fainted Avithin me I remembered 
 the Lord: 'and my prayer came in unto thee, into 
 thine holy temple. 
 
 8 They that observe * lying vanities forsake their 
 own mercy. 
 
 9 But I will 'sacrifice unto thee with the voice 
 of thanksgiving ; I will pay that that I have vowed 
 m Salvation is of the Lord. 
 
 10 IFAnd the Lord spake unto the fish, and it 
 vomited out Jonah upon the dry land. 
 
 CHAP. III. 
 
 Jonah, sent ayain, preacheth to the Nineviles, $c. 
 
 AND the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the 
 second time, saying, 
 
 2 Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and 
 preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee. 
 
 3 So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, ac- 
 cording to the word of the Lord. Now Nineveh 
 was an f exceeding great city of three days' journey. 
 
 4 And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's 
 journey, and "he cried, and said, Yet forty days, 
 and Nineveh shall be overthrown. 
 
 5 IF So the people of Nineveh b believed God, and 
 proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the 
 greatest of them even to the least of them. 
 
 6 For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and 
 he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from 
 him, and covered him with sackcloth, 'and sat in 
 ashes. 
 
 7 ''And he caused it to be proclaimed and f pub- 
 lished through Nineveh by decree of the king and 
 his f nobles, 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 sack-

 Jonah, repining at God's mere?/, is reproved, by the type of a gourd. 
 
 UT it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he 
 was very angry. 
 
 2 And he prayed unto the Lord, and said, 1 pray 
 thee, Lord, ivas not this my saying, when I was 
 yet in my country? Therefore I "fled before unto 
 Tarshish: fori knew that thou art a 'gracious God, 
 and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, 
 and repentest thee of the evil. 
 
 3 c Therefore now, Lord, take, I beseech thee, my 
 life from me ; for ''it is better for me to die than to live. 
 
 4 IT Then said the Lord, || Doest thou well to be 
 angry ? 
 
 o So 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 become of the city. 
 
 6 And the Lord God prepared a ||f gourd, and 
 made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a

 So Jonah fwas exceeding glad of the gourd. 
 
 7 But God prepared a worm when the morning rose

 that God prepared a || vehement east wind; and the

 and wished in himself to die, and said, e It is better

 to be angry, even unto death.

 1 Micah sheweth the wrath of God against Jacob for idolatry. 10 He ex 
 horteth to mourning. 
 
 THE word of the Lord came to "Micah the Mor- 
 asthite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and He- 
 zekiah, kings of Judah, 'which he saw concerning 
 Samaria and Jerusalem.

 that therein is: and let the Lord God d be wit- 
 against you, the Lord from f his holy temple. 
 
 3 For behold, Ahe Lord cometh forth out of his 
 f place, and Avill come down, and tread upon the 
 *high places of the earth. 
 
 4 And 'the mountains shall be molten under him, 
 and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, 
 and&s the waters that are poured down fa 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 Samaria? and 
 what are the high places of Judah? are they not 
 Jerusalem? 
 
 6 Therefore, I will make Samaria * as an heap of 
 field, and as plantings of a vine} r ard : and I 
 
 the

 And all the graven images thereof shall be 
 beaten to pieces, and all the m hires thereof shall be 
 burned with the fire, and all the idols thereof will 
 1 lay desolate : for she gathered it of the hire of an 
 harlot, and they shall return to the hire of an harlot. 
 
 8 Therefore, "I will Avail and howl; °I will go

 11 Where is the dwelling of 'the lions, and the 
 feeding-place of the yonng lions, where the lion, 
 even the old lion, walked, and the lion's whelp, and 
 none 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 ravin. 
 
 13 "Behold, I am against thee, saith the Lord of 
 hosts, and I will burn her chariots 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.

 2 The noise of a whip, and Hhe noise of the rat- 
 tling of the wheels, and of the prancing horses, and 
 3f the jumping chariots. 
 
 3 The horseman lifteth up both fthe bright 
 sword, and the glittering spear: and there is a multi- 
 tude of slain, and a great number of carcasses ; and 
 there is none end of their corpses they stumble upon 
 their corpses : 
 
 4 Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of 
 the well-favoured harlot, c the mistress of witch- 
 crafts, that selleth nations through her whoredoms, 
 and families through her witchcrafts. 
 
 5 ''Behold, I am against thee, saith the Lord of 
 hosts; and 'I will discover thy skirts upon thy 
 face, •''and I will shew the nations thy nakedness, 
 and the kingdoms thy shame. 
 
 6 And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, 
 and fi make thee vile, and will set thee as *a gazing- 
 stock. 
 
 7 And it shall come to pass, that all they that 
 look upon thee 'shall fiee from thee, and say, Nine- 
 veh is laid waste: *who will bemoan her? whence

 A PRAYER of Habakkuk the prophet a ||upon 
 Shigionoth. 
 
 2 O Lord, 1 have heard fthy speech and was 
 afraid: O Lord, ||*reA r ive thy work in the midst of 
 the years, in the midst of the years make known; 
 in wrath remember mercy. 
 
 3 God came from |j Teman, c and the Holy One 
 from mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the 
 heavens, and the earth was full of his praise. 
 
 4 And his brightness was as the light; he haci 
 || horns coming out of his hand; and there was the 
 hiding of his power. 
 
 5 ''Before him went the pestilence, and || 'burn- 
 ing coals went forth at his feet. 
 
 6 He stood, and measured the earth : he beheld, 
 and drove asunder the nations; ■'"and the e everlast- 
 ing mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills 
 did bow: his ways are everlasting. 
 
 7 I saw the tents of || Cushan || in affliction : and 
 the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble. 
 
 8 Was the Lord displeased against the rivers? 
 was thine anger against the rivers? was thy wrath 
 against the sea, Hhat thou didst ride upon thine 
 horses, and II thy chariots of salvation? 
 
 9 Thy bow was made quite naked, according to 
 the oaths of the tribes, even thy word. Selah 
 || 'Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers. 
 
 10 *The mountains saw thee, and they trembled, 
 the overflowing of the water passed by : the deep 
 uttered his voice, and 'lifted up his hands on high. 
 
 11 "'The sun and moon stood still in their habita- 
 tion : || at the light of thine "arrows they went, 
 and at the shining of thy glittering spear. 
 
 12 Thou didst march through the land in indig- 
 nation, "thou didst thresh the heathen in anger. 
 
 13 Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy 
 people, even for salvation with thine anointed; ^thou 
 woundedst the head out of the house of the wicked, 
 t by discovering the foundation unto the neck. Selah. 
 
 14 Thou didst strike through with his staves the 
 head of his villages : they f came out as a whirl- 
 wind to scatter me : their rejoicing was as to devour 
 the poor secretly. 
 
 lo "Thou didst walk through the sea wi<h thine 
 horses, through the || heap of great waters. 
 
God's judgment against Judah. 
 
 16 When 1 heard, r my belly trembled; my lips 
 quivered at the voice: rottenness entered into my 
 bones, and I trembled in myself, that 1 might rest 
 in the day of trouble: when he cometh up unto the 
 people, he will || invade them with his troops.

 CHAP. I. 
 
 1 When Zephaniah prophesied. 2 God's severe judgment against Judah 
 
 for divers sins. 
 
 PHE word of the Lord which came unto Zepha- 
 niah, the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the 
 son of Amariah, the son of Hizkiah, in the days of 
 Josiah the son of Anion, king of Judah. 
 
 2 1 1 w iM utterly consume all things from off f the 
 land, saith the Lord. 
 
 3 ° 1 will consume man and beast; I will consume 
 A he fowls of the heaven, and the fishes of the sea, 
 and *the || stumbling-blocks with the wicked; and I 
 will cut off man from off the land, saith the Lord. 
 
 4 I will also stretch out mine hand upon Judah 
 and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and C I 
 will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place, 
 and the name of ''the Chemarims with the priests; 
 
 5 And them e that worship the host of heaven upon 
 the house-tops; •'and them that worship and A 'that 
 swear || by the Lord, and that swear ''by Malcham; 
 
 6 And 'them that are turned back from the Lord: 
 and those that *have not sought the Lord, nor in- 
 quired for him. 
 
 7 'Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord God : 
 •"for the day of the Lord is at hand: for "the Lord 
 hath prepared a sacrifice, he hath f bid his guests. 
 
 8 And it shall come to pass in the day of the 
 Lord's sacrifice, that I will f punish "the princes, 
 and the king's children, and all such as are clothed 
 with strange apparel. 
 
 9 In the same day also will I punish all those 
 that leap on the threshold, which fill their masters' 
 houses with violence and deceit. 
 
 10 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith 
 the Lord, that there shall be the noise of a cry from 
 ''the fish-gate, and an howling from the second, and 
 a great crashing from the hills. 
 
 11 ''Howl, ye inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the 
 merchant people are cut down; all they that bear 
 silver are cut off. 
 
 12 And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will 
 search Jerusalem with candles, and punish the men 
 that are f r settled on their lees : ' that say in their heart, 
 The Lord will not do good, neither will he do evil. 
 
 13 Therefore, their goods shall become a booty, 
 and their houses a desolation : they shall also build 
 houses, but 'not inhabit them; and they shall plant 
 vineyards, but "not drink the wine thereof. 
 
 14 * The great day of the Lord is near, it is near, 
 and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of 
 the Lord : the mighty man shall cry there bitterly. 
 
 15 ^That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble 
 and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a 
 da} r of darkness and gloominess, a da}' of clouds 
 and thick darkness,

 4 The judgment of the Philistines, 8 of Moab and Ammon, 12 of -Ethio- 
 pia, 13 and A ssyria. 
 
 GATHER "yourselves together, yea, gather to- 
 gether, nation || not desired; 
 
 2 Before the decree bring forth, before the day 
 pass *as the chaff, before c the fierce anger of the 
 Lord come upon you, before the day of the Lord's 
 anger come upon you. 
 
 B d Seek ye the Lord, "all ye meek of the earth, 
 which have wrought his judgment; seek righteous- 
 ness, seek meekness : -^it may be ye shall be hid in 
 the day of the Lord's anger. 
 
 4 H For s Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a 
 desolation: they shall drive out Ashdod A at the 
 noon-day, and Ekron shall be rooted up. 
 
 5 Wo unto the inhabitants of 'the sea coasts, the 
 nation of the Cherethites! the word of the Lord is 
 against you ; * Canaan, the land of the Philistines, 1 
 will even destroy thee. that there shall be no inhabitant. 
 
 6 And the sea coast shall be dwellings and pot- 
 tages for shepherds, 'and folds for flocks. 
 
 7 And the coast shall be for '"the remnant of the 
 house of Judah; they shall feed thereupon: in the 
 houses of Ashkelon shall they lie down in the even- 
 ing: || for the Lord their God shall "visit them, and 
 " turn aw 7 ay their captivity. 
 
 8 ?1 have heard the reproach of Moab, and 
 'the revilings of the children of Ammon, whereby 
 they have reproached my people, and 'magnified 
 themselves against their border. 
 
 9 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord of hosts, the 
 God of Israel, Surely 'Moab shall be as Sodom, and 
 ' the children of Ammon as Gomorrah, "even the breed 
 ing of nettles and salt-pits, and a perpetual desola 
 tion: 'the residue of my people shall spoil them 
 and the remnant of my people shall possess them. 
 
 10 This shall they have ^for their pride, because 
 they have reproached and magnified themselves 
 against the people of the Lord of hosts. 
 
 11 The Lord will be terrible unto them; for he 
 will f famish all the gods of the earth; "and men 
 shall worship him, every one from his place, ev& 
 all "the isles of the heathen. 
 
Jerusalem reproved for divers sins. 
 
 12 1I 4 Ye Ethiopians also, ye shall be slain by 
 my sword. 
 
 13 And he will stretch out his hand against the 
 north, and 'destroy Assyria; and will make Nineveh 
 a desolation, ami dry like a wilderness. 
 
 14 And 'flocks shall lie down in the midst of her, 
 all J the beasts of the nations: both the ||* cormorant 
 and the bittern shall lodge in the || upper lintels of 
 it; their voice shall sing in the windows; desolation 
 shall be in the thresholds: || for he s^all uncover the 
 * cedar work. 
 
 15 This is the rejoicing city 'that dwelt carelessly, 
 *that said in her heart, I am, and there is none be- 
 side me : how is she become a desolation, a place 
 for beasts to lie down in! every one that passeth 
 by her 'shall hiss, and "'wag his hand.

 2 She "obeyed not the voice; she *received not 
 U correction; she trusted not in the Lord; she drew 
 not near to her God. 
 
 3 c Her princes within her are roaring lions; her 
 judges are d evening wolves; they gnaw not the 
 hones, till the morrow. 
 
 4 Her 'prophets are light and treacherous per- 
 sons : her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they 
 have done •''violence to the law. 
 
 5 *The just Lord h is in the midst thereof; he 
 will not do iniquity: f every morning doth he bring 
 his judgment to light, he faileth not; but 'the

 6 I have cut off the nations: their || towers are 
 desolate ; I made their streets waste, that none 
 passeth by: their cities are destroyed, so that there 
 is no man, that there is none inhabitant. 
 
 7 *I said, Surely thou wilt fear me, thou wilt 
 receive instruction; so their dwelling should not be 
 cut off, howsoever I punished them : but they rose

 than of the former, saith the Lord of hosts: and in 
 this place will I give * peace, saith the Lord of hosts. 
 
 10 llln the four and twentieth day of the ninth 
 month, in the second year of Darius, came the word 
 of the Lord by Haggai the prophet, saying, 
 
 11 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, 'Ask now the 
 priests concerning the law, saying, 
 
 12 If one bear holy Hesh in the skirt of his gar- 
 ment, and with his skirt do touch bread, or pottage, 
 or wine, or oil, or any meat, shall it be holy V And 
 the priests answered and said, No. 
 
 13 Then said Haggai, If one that is "unclean by a 
 dead body touch any of these, shall it be unclean ? And 
 the priests answered and said, It shall be unclean. 
 
 14 Then answered Haggai, and said, " So is this 
 people, and so is this nation before me, saith the 
 Lord; 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 
 and upward, from before a stone was laid upon a 
 stone in the temple of the Lord : 
 
 16 Since- those days were, ''when one came to an 
 heap of twenty measures, there were but ten : when 
 one came to the press-fat for to draw out fifty vessels 
 out of the press, there were bid twenty. 
 
 17 'I smote you with blasting and with mildew 
 and with hail 'in all the labours of your hands; *yet 
 ye turned not to me, saith the Lord. 
 
 18 Consider now from this day and upward, from 
 the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, even 
 from 'the day that the foundation of the Lord's 
 temple was laid, consider it. 
 
 19 "Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, as yet the 
 vine, and the fig-tree, and the pomegranate, and the 
 olive-tree, hath not brought forth: from this, day 
 will I bless you. 
 
 20 HAnd again the word of the Lord came unto 
 Haggai in the four and twentieth day of the month, 
 saying, 
 
 21 Speak to Zerubbabel, x governor of Judah, 
 saying, y I will shake the heavens and the earth; 
 
 22 And Z I will overthrow the throne of king- 
 doms, and I Avill destroy the strength of the king- 
 doms of the heathen; and°I will overthrow the 
 chariots, and those that ride in them; and the 
 horses and their riders shall come down, every one 
 by the sword of his brother. 
 
 23 In that day, saith the Lord of hosts, will I take 
 thee, Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, 
 saith the Lord, *and will make thee as a signet; for 
 C I have chosen thee, saith the Lord of hosts.

 The restoration of the church 
 
 7 If Upon the four and twentieth day of the 
 eleventh month, which is the month Sebat, in the 
 ■second year of Darius, came the word of the Lord 
 unto Zechariah, the son of Barachiah, the son of 
 Id do the prophet, saying, 
 
 8 I saw by night, and behold A a man riding upon 
 a led horse, and he stood among the myrtle-trees 
 that were in the bottom; and behind him were there 
 'red horses, || speckled, and white. 
 
 9 Then said I, my lord, what are these? And 
 the angel that talked with me said unto me, I will 
 shew thee what these he. 
 
 10 And the man that stood among the myrtle- 
 trees answered and said. * These are they whom the 
 Lord hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth. 
 
 11 'And they answered the angel of the Lord 
 that stood amonjr 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 IF Then the angel of the Lord answered and 
 said, ra O Lord of hosts, how long wilt thou not 
 have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, 
 against which thou hast had indignation "these 
 threescore and ten years? 
 
 13 And the Lord answered the angel that talked 
 with me with "good words and comfortable words. 
 
 14 So the angel that communed with me said 
 unto me, Cry thou, saying, Thus saith the Lord of 
 hosts; I am ''jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion 
 with a great jealousy. 
 
 15 And I am very sore displeased with the 
 heathen that are at ease : for « I was but a little dis- 
 pleased, and they helped forward the affliction. 
 
 16 Therefore thus saith the Lord; '1 am returned 
 to Jerusalem with mercies: mine house shall be 
 built in it, saith the Lord of hosts, and *a line shall 
 be stretched forth upon Jerusalem. 
 
 17 Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts ; 
 My cities through f prosperity shall yet be spread 
 abroad; 'and the Lord shall yet comfort Zion, and 
 "shall yet choose Jerusalem. 
 
 18 IrThen lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and 
 behold four horns. 
 
 19 And I said unto the angel that talked with 
 me, What be these? And he answered me, 'These 
 are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, 
 and Jerusalem. 
 
 20 And the Lord shew T ed me four carpenters. 
 
 21 Then said I, What come these to do? And 
 he spake, saying, These are the hmms which have 
 scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head : 
 but these are come to fray them, to cast out the 
 horns of the Gentiles, which y lifted up their horn 
 over the land of Judah to scatter it. 
 
 CHAP. II. 
 
 An ant/el sent to measure Jerusalem, and its flourishing state under God's 
 protection foretold. 
 
 r LIFTED up mine eyes again, and looked, and 
 behold "a man with a measuring line in his hand. 
 
 2 Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he said 
 unto me, b To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the 
 breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof. 
 
 3 And behold, the angel that talked with me 
 went forth, and another angel went out to meet him, 
 
 4 And said unto him, Run, speak to this young 
 man. saying, 'Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns 
 without walls for the multitude of men and cattle 
 therein ;

 1 Under the type of Joshua, the restoration of the church promised. 
 8 Christ foretold. 
 
 AND he shewed me "Joshua the high priest 
 standing before the angel of the Lord, and 
 * || Satan standing at his right hand fto resist him. 
 
 2 And the Lord said unto Satan, 'The Lord 
 rebuke thee, O Satan; even the Lord that d hath 
 chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: c is not this a bran'i 
 plucked out of the fire? 
 
 3 Now Joshua was clothed with f filthy garments, 
 and stood before the angel. 
 
 4 And he answered and spake unto those that 
 stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy gar- 
 ments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I 
 have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, *and 1 
 will clothe thee with change of raiment. 
 
 5 And I said, Let them set a fair h mitre upon his 
 head. So they set a fair mitre upon his head, and 
 clothed him with garments. And the angel of the 
 Lord stood by. 
 
 6 And the angel of the Lord protested unto 
 Joshua, sajnng, 
 
 7 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; If thou wilt 
 walk in my ways, and if thou wilt 'keep my || charge, 
 .then thou shalt also *judge my house, and shalt also 
 keep my courts, and I will give thee f places to

 9 For behold the stone that I have laid before 
 Joshua; ''upon one stone shall be ''seven eyes: be- 
 hold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith tlie

 AND "the angel that talked with me came again, 
 and waked me, 4 as a man that is wakened out 
 of his sleep, 
 
 2 And said unto me, What seest thou? And I 
 said, I have looked, and behold c a candlestick, all 
 of gold, fwith a bowl upon the top of it, ''and his 
 seven lamps thereon, and || seven pipes to the seven 
 lamps, which are upon the top thereof: 
 
 3 'And two olive-trees by it, one upon the right side 
 of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof. 
 
 4 So I answered and spake to the angel that 
 talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord ? 
 
 5 Then the angel that talked with me answered 
 and said unto me, Knowest thou not Avhat these 
 be ? And I said, No, my lord. 
 
 6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, 
 This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, 
 saying, •''Not by || might, nor by power, but by my 
 Spirit, saith the Lord of hosts. 
 
 7 Who art thou, s O great mountain? before Ze- 
 rubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall 
 bring forth ''the headstone thereof l wiih shoutings, 
 crying, Grace, grace, unto it. 
 
 8 Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, 
 saying, 
 
 9 The hands of Zerubbabel * have laid the foun- 
 dation of this house; his hands 'shall also finish it; 
 and m thou shalt know that the "Lord of hosts hath 
 sent me unto you. 
 
 10 For who hath despised the day of "small 
 things ? || for they shall rejoice, and shall see the 
 t plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those 
 seven; ^they are the eyes of the Lord, which run 
 to and fro through the whole earth. 
 
 11 IF Then answered I, and said unto him, What 
 are these 'two olive-trees upon the right side of the 
 candlestick and upon the left side thereof? 
 
 12 And I answered again, and said unto him, 
 What be these two olive branches which f through 
 the two golden pipes || empty f the golden oil out of 
 themselves ? 
 
 13 And he answered me and said, Knowest thou 
 not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.

 2 And he said unto me, What seest thou? And 
 A answered, I see a dying roll ; the length thereof 
 is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits. 
 
 3 Then said he unto me, This is the b curse that

 6 And I said, What is it? And he said, This is

 is their resemblance through all the earth. 
 
 7 And behold, there was lifted up a || talent of 
 lead : and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst

 it into the midst of the ephah; and he cast tho

 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 that talked with me, 
 Whither do these bear the ephah ?

 1 The vision of the four chariots. 9 The temple and kingdom of Christ 
 the Branch shelved. 
 
 AND I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and 
 looked, and behold, there came four chariots 
 out from between two mountains; and the moun- 
 tains 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 grizzled and || bay horses. 
 
 4 Then I answered rf and said unto the angel that 
 talked with me, What are these, my lord? 
 
 5 And the angel answered and said unto, me, 
 'These are the four || spirits of the heavens, which 
 go forth from f standing before the Lord of all the 
 earth. 
 
 6 The black horses which are therein go forth 
 into *the north country; and the white go forth 
 after them; and the grizzled go forth toward tho 
 south country. 
 
 7 And the 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 tho 
 earth. So they walked to and fro through the earth. 
 
 8 Then cried he upon me, and spake unto me, 
 saying, Behold, these that go toward the north coun- 
 try have quieted my 'spirit in the north country. 
 
 9 IT And the Avord of the Lord came unto me, 
 saying, 
 
 10 Take of them, of the captivity, even of Heldai, 
 of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, which are come from 
 Babylon, and come thou the same day, and go into 
 the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah; 
 
 11 Then take silver and gold, and make * crowns 
 and set them upon the head of Joshua the son ol 
 Josedech, the high priest; 
 
 12 And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh 
 the Lord of hosts, saying, Behold 'the man whose 
 name is The m BRANCH; and he shall llgrow up 
 out of his place, "and he shall build the temple of 
 the Lord: 
 
 13 Even he shall build the temple of the Lord; 
 and he "shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule 
 upon his throne: and ^he shall be a priest upon 
 his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be be 
 tween them both.

 1 The captives inquire of fasting ; 4 Zechariah reproveth them. 8 Sin 
 the cause of their captivity. 
 
 AND it came to pass in the fourth year of king 
 Darius, that the word of the Lord came unto 
 Zechariah in the fourth day of the ninth month, even 
 in Chisleu; 
 
 2 When they had sent unto the house of God, 
 Sherezer and Regem-melech, and their men, \to 
 pray before the Lord, 
 
 3 And to "speak unto the priests which were in 
 the house of the Lord of hosts, and to the prophets, 
 saying, Should I weep in *the fifth month, separat- 
 ing myself, as I have done these so many years ? 
 
 4 II Then came the word of the Lord of hosts unto 
 me, saying, 
 
 5 Speak unto all the people of the land, and to 
 the priests, saying, When ye c fasted and mourned 
 in the fifth ''and seventh month, 'even those seventy 
 years, did ye at all fast -/'unto me, even to me ? 
 
 6 And when ye did eat, and when ye did drink, 
 d did not ye eat for yourselves, and drink for your- 
 selves ? 
 
 '( || Should ye not hear the words which the Lord 
 nath cried thy the former prophets when Jerusa- 
 lem was inhabited and in prosperity, and the cities 
 thereof round about her, when men inhabited *the 
 60uth and the plain ? 
 
 8 IF And the word of the Lord came unto Zech- 
 ariah, saying, 
 
 9 Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, saying, A f Ex- 
 ecute true judgment, and shew mercy and compas- 
 sions every man to his brother : 
 
 10 And 'oppress not the widow, nor the father- 
 less, the stranger, nor the poor; *and let none of 
 you imagine evil against his brother in your heart. 
 
 11 But they refused to hearken, and 'f pulled 
 away the shoulder, and f" stopped their ears that 
 they should not hear. 
 
 12 Yea, they made their n hearts as an adamant 
 stone, "lest they should hear the law, and the words 
 which the Lord of hosts hath sent in his Spirit f by 
 the former prophets : p therefore came a great wrath 
 from the Lord of hosts. 
 
 13 Therefore it is come to pass, that as he cried, 
 and they would not hear; so 7 they cried, and I 
 would not hear, saith the Lord of hosts : 
 
 14 But r I scattered them with a whirlwind among 
 all the nations * whom they knew not. Thus ' the land 
 was desolate after them, that no man passed through 
 nor returned : for they laid " the fpleasant land desolate.

 The restoration of Jerusalem. 
 
 and e vwll dwell in the midst of Jerusalem : and 
 Jerusalem ''shall be called, A city of truth ; and 'the 
 mountain of the Loud of hosts, •'the holy mountain. 
 
 4 Thus saith the LoBD of hosts; 'There shall yet 
 old men and old women dwell in the streets of Je- 
 rusalem, and every man with his staff in his hand 
 ffor very age. 
 
 5 And the streets of the city shall he full of boys 
 and girls playing in the streets thereof. 
 
 6 Thus saith the Lord of hosts ; If it be || mar- 
 vellous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in 
 these days, ''should it also be marvellous in mine 
 eyes ? saith the Lord of hosts. 
 
 7 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Behold, 'I will 
 save my people from the east country, and from 
 fthe west country; 
 
 8 A<nd 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 IF Thus saith the Lord of hosts ; m Let your hands 
 be strong, ye that hear in these da} r s these words 
 by the mouth of "the prophets, which were in "the 
 day that the foundation of the house of the Lord 
 of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built. 
 
 10 For before these days || there was no p hire for 
 man, nor any hire for beast; 'neither was there any 
 peace to him that went out or came in because of 
 the affliction : for I set all men every one against 
 his neighbour. 
 
 11 But now I will not be unto the residue of this 
 people as in the former days, saith the Lord of 
 hosts. 
 
 12 r For the seed shall be f prosperous; the vine 
 shall give her fruit, and 'the ground shall give her 
 increase, and 'the heavens shall give their dew; 
 and I will cause the remnant of this people to pos- 
 sess all these things. 
 
 13 And it shall come to pass, that as ye were 
 "a curse among the heathen, house of Judah, and 
 house of Israel ; so will I save you, and *3 r e shall be a 
 blessing : fear not, but y \et your hands be strong. 
 
 14 For thus saith the Lord of hosts ; "As I 
 thought to punish }'ou, when your fathers provoked 
 me to wrath, saith the Lord of hosts, "and I re- 
 pented not : 
 
 15 So again have I thought in these days to do 
 well unto Jerusalem and to the house of Judah : 
 fear ye not. 
 
 16 IF These are the things that ye shall do ; * Speak 
 ye every man the truth to his neighbour ; f execute 
 the judgment of truth and peace in your gates : 
 
 17 'And let none of you imagine evil in your 
 hearts against his neighbour ; and ''love no false oath : 
 for all these are things that I hate, saith the Lord. 
 
 18 IF And the word of the Lord of hosts came 
 unto me, saying, 
 
 19 Thus saith the Lord of hosts ; ' The fast of 
 the fourth month, f and the fast of the fifth, '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 || feasts ; * therefore love the truth and peace. 
 
 20 Thus saith the Lord of hosts : // shall yet 
 come to pass, that there shall come people, and Hie 
 inhabitants of many cities : 
 
 21 And the inhabitants of one city shall go to an- 
 other, saying, 'Let us go II f speedily f to pray before 
 
 the Lord, and to seek the Lord of hosts : I will go also.

Zion exnoned to rejoice. 
 
 ZECHAR1AE1. 
 
 22 Yea, m many people and stiong nations shall 
 come to seek the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem, and 
 to pray before the Lord. 
 
 23 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; In those days 
 it shall come to pass, that ten men shall " take hold, 
 out of all languages of the nations, even shall take 
 hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We 
 will go with you: for we have heard 'that God is 
 with vou.

 rpHE "burden of the word of the Lord in the land

 thereof: when 'the eyes of man, as of all the tribes 
 of Israel, shall be toward the Lord. 
 
 2 And rf Hamath also shall border thereby ; * Tyrus 
 and-Z'Zidon, though it be very * wise. 
 
 3 And Tyrus did build herself a strong hold, and 
 * heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the 
 mire of the streets. 
 
 4 Behold, 'the Lord will cast her out, and he will 
 6mite *her power in the sea; and she shall be de- 
 voured with fire. 
 
 5 ' Ashkelon shall see it, and fear ; Gaza also shall 
 see it, and be very sorrowful, and Ekron ; for her 
 expectation shall be ashamed; and the king shall 
 perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be in- 
 habited. 
 
 6 And a bastard shall dwell m in Ashdod, and I 
 will cut off the pride of the Philistines. 
 
 7 And I will take away his f blood out of his 
 mouth, and his abominations from between his 
 teeth ; but he that remaineth, even he, shall be for 
 our God, and he shall be as a governor in Judah, 
 and Ekron as a Jebusite. 
 
 8 And " I will encamp about mine house because 
 of the army, because of him that passeth by, and 
 because of him that returneth: and "no oppressor 
 shall pass through them any more: for now ''have I 
 seen with mine eyes. 
 
 9 IF 9 Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion; shout, 
 daughter of Jerusalem: behold, r thy King com- 
 eth unto thee : he is just, and || having salvation ; 
 lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon 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 unto the 
 heathen: and his dominion shall be "from sea even to 
 eea, and from the river even to the ends of the earth. 
 
 11 As for thee also, || by the blood of thy cove-

 bow with Ephraim, and raised up thy sons, Zion, 
 against thy sons, Greece, and made thee as the 
 sword of a mighty man.

 1 God is to be sought unto, and not idols. 5 As he visited his flock for 
 sin, so he will save and restore them. 
 
 SK ye "of the Lord *rain 'in the time of the 
 latter rain ; so the Lord shall make || bright 
 clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one 
 grass in the field. 
 
 2 For the d f idols have spoken vanity, and the 
 diviners have seen a lie, and have told false dreams; 
 they 'comfort in vain: therefore they went their 
 way as a flock, they || were troubled ■'because there 
 was no shepherd. 
 
 3 Mine anger was kindled against the shepherds, 
 s and I f punished the goa-ts: for the Lord of hosts 
 A hath visited his flock the house of Judah, and 
 'hath made them as his goodly horse in the battle. 
 
 4 Out of him came forth *the corner, out of him 
 'the nail, out of him the battle-bow, out of him every 
 oppressor together. 
 
 5 II And they shall be as mighty men, which 
 m tread down their enemies in the mire of the streets 
 in the battle : and they shall fight, because the 
 Lord is with them, and || the riders on horses shall 
 be confounded. 
 
 6 And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and 1 
 will save the house of' Joseph, and "I will bring them 
 again to place them; for I "have mercy upon them, 
 and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: 
 for I am the Lord their God, and ''will hear them. 
 
 7 And they of Ephraim shall be like a mighty 
 man, and their 'heart shall rejoice as through wine: 
 yea, their children shall see it, and be glad; then 
 heart shall rejoice in the Lord. 
 
 8 I will 'hiss for them, and gather them; for J 
 have redeemed them: 'and they shall increase as 
 they have increased. 
 
 9 And 'I will sow them among the people, and 
 they shall "remember me in far countries; and they 
 shall live with their children, and turn again. 
 
 10 a " I will bring them again also out of the land 
 of Egypt, and gather them out of Assyria; and I 
 will bring them into the land of Gilead and Leba- 
 non ; and y place shall not be found for them. 
 
 11 z And he shall pass through the sea with afflic- 
 tion, and shall smite the waves in the sea, and all 
 the deeps of the rivers shall dry up : and "the pride 
 of Assyria shall be brought down, and Hhe sceptre 
 of Egypt shall depart away. 
 
 12 And I will strengthen them in the Lord; an<] 
 'they shall walk up and down in his name, saith 
 the Lord.

 5 Whose possessors slay them, and ''hold them- 
 selves not guilty: and they that sell them 'say, 
 Blessed be the Lord; for I am rich: and their own 
 shepherds pity them not. 
 
 6 For I will no more pity (he inhabitants of the 
 land, saith the Lord : but lo, I will f deliver the men 
 every one into his neighbour's hand, and into the 
 hand of his king: and they shall smite the land, 
 and out of their hand I will not deliver them.

 flock. And I took unto me 
 called Beauty, and the other 
 I fed the flock. 
 
 8 Three shepherds also I cut off A in one month; 
 and my soul f loathed them, and their soul also 
 abhorred me. 
 
 9 Then said I, I will not feed you: 'that that 
 dieth, let it die; and that that is to be cut off, let 
 it be cut off; and let the rest eat, every one the 
 flesh f of 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 *the 
 poor of the flock that waited upon me knew that 
 it was the word of the Lord. 
 
 12 And I said unto them, f If ye think good, 
 give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they 
 'weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver. 
 
 13 And the Lord said unto me, Cast it unto the 
 "potter: a goodly price that I was prized at of 
 them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and 
 cast them to the potter in the house of the Lord. 
 
 14 Then I cut asunder mine other staff, even 
 || Bands, that I might break the brotherhood be- 
 tween Judah and Israel. 
 
 15 H And the Lord said unto me, "Take unto 
 thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd. 
 
 16 For lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, 
 whkh shall not Adsit those that be || cut off, neither 
 shall seek the young one, nor heal that that is bro- 
 
 * ken, nor || feed that that standeth still : but he shall 
 eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces. 
 
 17 *Wo to the idle shepherd that leaveth the 
 flock! the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon 
 his right eye : his arm shall be clean dried up, and 
 his right eye shall be utterly darkened.

 the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of

 that is left of all the nations which came against 
 Jerusalem, shall even "go up from year to year to

 'the feast of tabernacles. 
 
 17 'And it shall be, that whoso will not come up 
 of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to 
 worship the King, the Lord of hosts, even upon 
 them shall be no rain. 
 
 18 And if the family of Egypt go not up, and 
 come not, f d that have no rain; there shall be the 
 plague, wherewith the Lord will smite the heathen 
 that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles. 
 
 19 This shall be the || punishment of Egypt, and 
 the punishment of all nations that come not up to 
 keep the feast of tabernacles. 
 
 20 IF In that day shall there be upon the || bells of 
 the horses, 'HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD; and 
 the pots in the Lord's house shall be like the bowls, 
 before the altar. 
 
 21 Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall

 9 Therefore 'have I also made you contemptible

 not kept my ways, but || f have been partial in the 
 law. 
 
 10 m IIave we not all one father? "hath not one 
 God created us? why do we deal treacherously 
 every man against his brother, by profaning the 
 covenant of our fathers ? 
 
 11 TfJudah hath dealt treacherously, and an 
 abomination is committed in Israel and in Jera 
 salem ; for Judah hath profaned the holiness of the 
 Lord which he II loved, 'and hath married the daugh- 
 ter of a strange god. 
 
 12 The Lord will cut off the man that doeth this, 
 II the master and the scholar, out of the tabernacles 
 of Jacob, ''and him that offereth an offering unto 
 the Loi:d of hosts. 
 
 13 And this have ye done again, covering the altar 
 of the Loud with tears, with weeping, and with cry- 
 ing out, insomuch that he regardeth not the offering 
 any more, or receiveth it with good will at your hand. 
 
 14 H Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the Lord hath 
 been witness between thee and 'the wife of thy youth, 
 against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: 'yet u 
 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 wherefore one? That 
 he might seek fa godly seed. Therefore take heed 
 to your spirit, and let none deal || treacherously 
 against the Avife of his youth. 
 
 16 For "the Lord, the God of Israel, saith, || that he 
 hateth f putting away : for one covereth violence with 
 his garment, saith the Lord of hosts: therefore take 
 heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously. 
 
 17 H^Ye have wearied the Lord with your words. 
 Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him? When 
 ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the 
 sight of the Lord, and he delighteth in them ; or, 
 Where is the God of judgment ?

 Josias his charge to the priests and Levites. 7 A great passover is 
 kept. 32 His death is much lamented. 34 His successors. 63 
 The temple, city, and people are destroyed. 66 The rest are car- 
 ried unto Babylon. 
 
 AND Josias held the feast of the passover in Jerusalem unto 
 his Lord, and offered the passover the fourteenth day of the 
 first mouth ; 
 
 2 Having set the priests according to their daily courses, heing 
 arrayed in long garments, in the temple of the Lord. 
 
 3 And he spake unto the Levites, the holy ministers of Israel, 
 that they should hallow themselves unto the Lord, to set the 
 holy ark of the Lord in the house that king Solomon the son of 
 David had built : 
 
 4 And said, Ye shall no more bear the ark upon your 
 shoulders: now therefore serve the Lord your God, and minister 
 unto his people Israel, and prepare you after your families and 
 kindreds, 
 
 5 According as David the king of Israel prescribed, and ac- 
 cording to the magnificence of Solomon his son : and standing 
 m the temple according to the several dignity of the families of 
 you the Levites, who minister in the presence of your brethren 
 the children of Israel, 
 
 6 Offer the passover in order, and make ready the sacrifices 
 for your brethren, and keep the passover according to the com- 
 mandment of the Lord, which was given unto Moses. 
 
 7 And unto the people that was found there Josias gave 
 thirty thousand lambs and kids, and three thousand calves : these 
 things were given of the king's allowance, according as he pro- 
 mised to the people, to the priests, and to the Levites. 
 
 8 And Helkias, Zacharias, and Syelus, the governors of the 
 temple, gave to the priests for the passover two thousand and six 
 hundred sheep, and three hundred calves. 
 
 9 And Jeconias, and Samaias, and Nathanael his brother, and 
 Assabias, and Ochiel, and Joram, captains over thousands, gave 
 to the Levites for the passover five thousand sheep, and seven 
 hundred calves. 
 
 10 And when these things were done, the priests and Levites 
 having the unleavened bread, stood in very comely order accord- 
 ing to the kindreds, 
 
 11 And according to the several dignities of the fathers be- 
 fore the people, to offer to the Lord, as it is written in the book 
 of Moses : and thus did they in the morning. 
 
 12 And they roasted the passover with fire, as appertaineth : 
 as for the sacrifices, they sod them in brass pots, and pans, with 
 a good savour, 
 
 13 And set them before all the people : and afterward they 
 prepared for themselves, and for the priests their brethren, the 
 sons of Aaron. 
 
 14 For the priests offered the fat until night : and the Levites 
 prepared for themselves, and the priests their brethren, the sons 
 of Aaron. 
 
 15 The holy singers also, the sons of Asaph, were in their 
 
 order, according to the appointment of David, to wit, Asaph, 
 Zacharias, and Jeduthun, who was of the king's retiuue. 
 
 16 Moreover, the porters were at every gate ; it was not law 
 ful for any to go from his ordinary service : for their brethren 
 the Levites prepared for them. 
 
 17 Thus were the things that belonged to the sacrifices of 
 the Lord accomplished in that day, that they might hold the 
 passover, 
 
 18 And offer sacrifices upon the altar of the Lord, according 
 to the commandment of king Josias. 
 
 19 So the children of Israel which were present held the 
 passover at that time, and the feast of sweet bread seven days. 
 
 20 And such a passover was not kept in Israel since the time 
 of the prophet Samuel. 
 
 21 Yea, all the kings of Israel held not such a passover as 
 Josias, and the priests, and the Levites, and the Jews, held with 
 all Israel that were found dwelling at Jerusalem. 
 
 22 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josias was thk 
 passover kept. 
 
 23 And the works of Josias were upright before his Lord, 
 with an heart full of godliness. 
 
 24 As for the things that came to pass in his time, they were 
 'written in former times, concerning those that sinned, and did 
 
 wickedly against the Lord above all people and kingdoms, and 
 how they grieved him exceedingly, so that the words of the 
 Lord rose up against Israel. 
 
 25 Now after all these acts of Josias it came to pass, that 
 Pharaoh the king of Egypt came to raise war at Carchamis upon 
 Euphrates : and Josias went out against him. 
 
 26 But the king of Egypt sent to him, saying, What have I 
 to do with thee, O king of Judea ? 
 
 27 I am not sent out from the Lord God against thee ; ft 
 my war is upon Euphrates : and now the Lord is with me, yea, 
 the Lord is with me hasting me forward : depart from me, and 
 be not against the Lord. 
 
 28 Howbeit Josias did not turn back his chariot from him, 
 but undertook to fight with him, not regarding the words of the 
 prophet Jeremy, spoken by the mouth of the Lord : 
 
 29 But joined battle with him in the plain of Megiddo, and 
 the princes came against king Josias. 
 
 30 Then said the king uuto his servants, Carry me away out 
 of the battle; for I am very weak. And immediately his ser- 
 vants took him away out of the battle. 
 
 31 Then gat he up upon his second chariot; and being 
 brought back to Jerusalem died, and was buried in his father's 
 sepulchre. 
 
 32 And in all Jewry they mourned for Josias, yea, Jeremy 
 the prophet lamented for Josias, and the chief men with the 
 women made lamentation for him unto this day : and this was 
 given out for an ordinance to be doue continually in all the nation 
 of Israel. 
 
 33 These things are written in the book of the stones of the 
 kings of Judah, and every one of the acts that Josias did, and 
 his glory, and his understanding in the law of the Lord, and the 
 
 1

 things that he had done befoie, and the things now recited, are 
 reported in the book of the kings of Israel and J udea. 
 
 34 And the people took Joachaz the son of Josias, and made 
 bini king instead of Josias his father, when he was twenty and 
 three years old. 
 
 35 And he reigned in Judea and in Jerusalem three months : 
 and then the king of Egypt deposed him from reigning in Jeru- 
 salem. 
 
 36 And he set a tax upon the land of an hundred talents of 
 silver and one talent of gold. 
 
 37 The king of Egypt also made king Joacim his brother 
 pf Judea and Jerusalem. 
 
 a? And he bound Joacim and the nobles : but Zaraces his 
 brother he apprehended, and brought him out of Egypt. 
 
 39 Five and twenty years old was Joacim when he was made 
 king of the land of Judea and Jerusalem ; and he did evil be- 
 fore the Lord. 
 
 40 Wherefore against him Nabuchodonosor the king of 
 Babylon came up, and bound him with a chain of brass, and 
 carried him into Babylon. 
 
 41 (Nabuchodonosor also took of the holy vessels of the 
 Lord, and carried them away, and set them in his own temple at 
 Babylon.) 
 
 42 But those things that are recorded of him, and of his 
 uncleauness and impiety, are written in the chronicles of the 
 kings. 
 
 43 And Joacim his son reigned in his stead : he was made 
 king being eighteen years old; 
 
 44 And reigned but three months and ten days in Jerusalem, 
 and did evil before the Lord. 
 
 45 So after a year Nabuchodonosor sent and caused him to be 
 brought into Babylon with the holy vessels of the Lord, 
 
 46 And made Zedechias king of Judea and Jerusalem, when 
 he was one and twenty years old ; and he reigned eleven years : 
 
 47 And he did evil also in the sight of the Lord, and cared 
 not for the words that were spoken unto him by the prophet 
 Jeremy from the mouth of the Lord. 
 
 48 And after that king Nabuchodonosor had made him to 
 swear by the name of the Lord, he forswore himself and rebelled, 
 and hardening his neck and his heart, he transgressed the laws 
 of the Lord God of Israel. 
 
 49 The governors also of the people and of the priests did 
 many things against the laws, and passed all the pollutions of all 
 nations, and defiled the temple of the Lord, which was sanctified 
 in Jerusalem. 
 
 50 Nevertheless, the God of their fathers sent by his mes- 
 senger to call them back, because he spared them and his taber- 
 nacle also. 
 
 51 But they had his messengers in derision ; and look, when 
 the Lord spake unto them, they made a sport of his prophets : 
 
 52 So far forth, that he being wroth with his people for their 
 great ungodliness, commanded the kings of the Chaldees to come 
 up against them : 
 
 53 Who slew their young men with the sword, yea, even 
 within the compass of their holy temple, and spared neither 
 young man nor maid, nor old man nor child, among them; for 
 l.e delivered all into their hands. 
 
 54 And they took all the holy vessels of the Lord, both 
 great and small, with the vessels of the ark of God, and the 
 king's treasures, and carried them away into Babylon. 
 
 55 As for the house of the Lord, they burnt it, and brake 
 down the walls of Jerusalem, and set fire upon her towers : 
 
 56 And as for her glorious things, they never ceased till 
 they had consumed and brought them all to nought : and the 
 people that were not slain with the sword, he carried unto 
 Babylon : 
 
 57 Who became servants to him and bis children, till the 
 Persians reigned, to fulfil the word of the Lord, spoken by the 
 mouth of Jeremy: 
 
 58 Until the land had enjoyed her sabbaths, the whole time of 
 her desolation shall she rest, until the full term of seventy years.

 CHAPTER II. 
 
 1 Cyrus is movo.1 by God to build the temple, 5 and gtveth leave to tbe 
 Jews to return, and contribute to it. 11 He delivereth aeain the 
 vessels which had been taken thence. 25 Artaxerxes forbiddeth the 
 Jews to build any more. 
 
 IN the first year of Cyrus king of t\e Persians, that the word 
 of the Lord might be accomplished, that he had promised by 
 the mouth of Jeremy; 
 
 2 The Lord raised up the spirit of Cyrus the king of the 
 Persians, and he made proclamation through all his kingdom, 
 and aiso by writing, 
 
 3 Saying, Thus saith Cyrus king of the Persians ; The Lord 
 of Israel, the most high Lord, hath made me king of the whole 
 world, 
 
 4 And commanded me to build him an house at Jerusalem in 
 Jewry. 
 
 5 If therefore there be any of you that are of his people, let 
 the Lord, even his Lord, be with him, and let him go up to 
 Jerusalem that is in Judea, and build the house of the Lord of 
 Israel : for he is the Lord that dwelleth in Jerusalem. 
 
 6 Whosoever then dwell in the places about, let them help 
 him (those, I say, that are his neighbours) with gold, and with 
 silver. 
 
 7 With gifts, with horses, and with cattle, and other things, 
 which have been set forth by vow, for the temple of the Lord at 
 Jerusalem. 
 
 8 "|f Then the chief of the families of Judea and of the tribe 
 of Benjamin stood up : the priests also and the Levites, and all 
 they whose mind the Lord had moved to go up, and to build an 
 house for the Lord at Jerusalem. 
 
 9 And they that dwelt round about them, and helped tnem 
 in all things with silver and gold, with horses and cattle, and 
 with very many free gifts of a great number whose minds were 
 stirred up thereto. 
 
 10 King Cyrus also brought forth the holy vessels which 
 Nabuchodonosor had carried away from Jerusalem, and had set 
 up in his temple of idols. 
 
 11 Now when Cyrus king of the Persians had brought them 
 forth, he delivered them to Mithridates his treasurer: 
 
 12 And by him they were delivered to Sanabassar the go- 
 vernor of Judea. 
 
 13 And this was the number of them ; A thousand golden 
 cups, and a thousand of silver, censers of silver twenty-nine, 
 vials of gold thirty, and of silver two thousand four hundred 
 and ten, and a thousand other vessels. 
 
 14 So all the vessels of gold and of silver, which were carried 
 away, were five thousand four hundred threescore and nine. 
 
 15 These were brought back by Sanabassar, together witb 
 them of the captivity, from Babylon to Jerusalem. 
 
 16 But in the time of Artaxerxes king of the Persians, Bele- 
 mus, and Mithridates, and Tabellius, and Rathumus, Beelteth- 
 mus, and Semellius tbe secretary, with others that were in com- 
 mission with them, dwelling in Samaria and other places, wrote 
 unto him against them that dwelt in Judea and Jerusalem these 
 letters following ; 
 
 17 To king Artaxerxes our lord, Thy servants Rathumus the 
 story-writer, and Semellius the scribe, and the rest of their 
 council, and the judges that are in Celosyria and Phenice. 
 
 18 Be it now known to the lord the king, that the Jews that 
 are come up from you to us, being come into Jerusalem (tLat 
 rebellious and wicked city) to build the market-places, and repair 
 the walls of it, and do lay the foundation of the temple. 
 
 19 Now if this city and the walls thereof be made up again, 
 they will not only refuse to give tribute, but also rebel against 
 kings. 
 
 20 And forasmuch as the things pertaining to the temple are 
 now in hand, we think it meet not to neglect such a matter, 
 
 21 But to speak unto our lord the king, to the intent that, if 
 it be thy pleasure, it may be sought out in the books of thy 
 fathers .■ 
 
Apocrypha 
 
 CHAP. Ill, IV. 
 
 Apocrypo* 
 
 22 And thou slialt find in the CD roubles what is written con- 
 cerning these things, and shalt understand that that city was re- 
 bellious, troubling both kings and cities : 
 
 23 And that the Jews were rebellious, and raised always wars 
 therein ; for the which cause even this city was made desolate. 
 
 24 Wherefore now we do declare unto thee, (0 lord the king,) 
 that if this city be built again, and the walls thereof set up anew, 
 thou shalt from heucefon'n have no passage into Celosyria and 
 Phenice. 
 
 25 Then the king wrote back again to Rathumus the story- 
 writer, to Beeltethrnus, to Scinellius the scribe, and to the rest 
 that were in commission, and dwellers in Samaria, and Syria, and 
 Phenice, after this manner; 
 
 26 I have read the epistle which ye have sent unto me; 
 therefore I commanded to make diligent search, and it hath been 
 found, that that city was from the beginning practising against 
 kings; 
 
 27 And the men therein were given to rebellion and war : and 
 that mighty kings and fierce were in Jerusalem, who reigned and 
 exacted tributes in Celosyria and Phenice. 
 
 28 Now therefore I have commanded to hinder those men 
 from building the city, and heed to be taken that there be no 
 more done in it; 
 
 29 And that those wicked workers proceed no further to the 
 annoyance of kings. 
 
 30 Then king Artaxerxcs, his letters being read, Rathumus, 
 and Semellius the scribe, and the rest that were in commission 
 with them, removing in haste towards Jerusalem with a troop of 
 horsemen, and a multitude of people in battle-array, began to 
 hinder the builders; and the building of the temple in Jerusa- 
 lem ceased until the second year of the reign of Darius king of 
 the Persians. 
 
 CHAPTER III. 
 
 4 Three strive to excel each other in wise speeches. 9 They refer 
 themselves to the judgment of the king. 18 The first declareth the 
 strength of wine. 
 
 NOW when Darius reigned, he made a great feast unto all his 
 subjects, and unto all his household, and unto all the 
 princes of Media and Persia, 
 
 2 And to all the governors, and captains, and lieutenants that 
 were unto him, from India unto Ethiopia, of an hundred twenty 
 and seven provinces. 
 
 3 And when they had eaten and drunken, and Deing satisfied 
 were gone home, then Darius the king went into his bed-chamber, 
 and slept, and soon after awaked. 
 
 4 Then three young men that were of the guard, and kept the 
 king's body, spake one to another; 
 
 5 Let every one of us speak a sentence : he that shall over- 
 come, and whose sentence shall seem wiser than the others, unto 
 him shall the king Darius give great gifts, and great things in 
 '»ken of \ ictory : 
 
 6 As to be clothed in purple, to drink in gold, to sleep upon 
 gold, and a chariot with bridles of gold, and an head-tire of fine 
 linen, and a chain about his neck : 
 
 7 And he shall sit next to Darius, because of his wisdom, and 
 shall be called Darius his cousin. 
 
 8 A Q d then every one wrote his sentence, sealed it, and laid 
 it under king Darius his pillow. 
 
 9 And said that, when the king is risen, some will give him 
 the writings ; and of whose side the king and the three princes 
 of Persia shall judge that his sentence is the wisest, to him shall 
 the victory be given, as was appointed : 
 
 10 The first wrote, Wine is the strongest. 
 
 11 The second wrote, The king is the strongest. 
 
 12 The third wrote, Women are the strongest : But above all 
 (?liugs truth beareth away the victory. 
 
 13 Now when the king was risen up, they took their writings, 
 •Fid delivered them unto him, and so he read them : 
 
 M And sending forth, he called all the jrinccs of Persia ani 
 
 A 
 
 Media, and the governors, and the captains, and the licutenantp, 
 and the chief officers; 
 
 15 And sat him down in the royal seat of judgment; and th«j 
 writings vyere read before them. 
 
 16 And he said, Call the young men, and they sbal. declaie 
 their own sentences. So they were called, and came in. 
 
 17 And he said unto them, Declare unto us your mind con- 
 cerning the writings. Then began the first, who had spoken ot 
 the strength of wine : 
 
 18 And he said thus, ye men, how exceeding strong is 
 wine ! it causeth all men to err that drink it : 
 
 19 It maketh the mind of the king, and of the fatherless child r 
 to be all one : of the bondman and of the freeman, of the puor 
 man and of the rich : 
 
 20 It turneth also every thought into jollity and mirth, so 
 that a man remembereth neither sorrow nor debt : 
 
 21 And it maketh every heart rich, so that a man remem- 
 bereth neither king nor governor; and it maketh to speak all 
 things by talents ; 
 
 22 And when they are in their cups, they forget their love 
 both to friends and brethren, and a little after draw out swords : 
 
 23 But when they are from the wine, they remember not 
 what they have done. 
 
 24 ye men, is not wine the strongest, that enforceth to do 
 thus ? And when he had so spoken, he held his peace. 
 
 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 1 The second declareth the power of a king: 13 The third the force 
 of women, 33 and of truth. 41 The third is judged to he wisest, 
 and obtaineth letters of the king to build Jerusalem: 58 He praiseth 
 God, and showeth his brethren what he had done. 
 
 HPHEN the second, that had spoken of the strength of the 
 J- king, began to say, 
 
 2 ye men, do not men excel in strength, that bear rule over 
 sea and land, and all things in them ? 
 
 3 But yet the king is more mighty : for he is lord of all thesa 
 things, and hath dominion over them ; and whatsoever he com- 
 mandeth them they do. 
 
 4 If he bid them make war the one against the other, they 
 do it : if he send them out against the enemies, they go, and 
 break down mountains, walls, and towers. 
 
 5 They slay and are* slain, and transgress not the king's com- 
 mandment : if they get the victory, they bring all to the king, 
 as well the spoil, as all things else. 
 
 6 Likewise for those that arc no soldiers, and have not to do 
 with wars, but use husbandry, when they have reaped again that 
 which they had sown, they bring it to the king, and compel one 
 another to pay tribute unto the king. 
 
 7 And yet he is but one man : if he command to kill, they 
 kill ; if he command to spare, they spare ; 
 
 8 If he command to smite, they smite ; if he command to 
 make desolate, they make desolate; if he command to build, 
 they build ; 
 
 9 If he command to cut down, they cut down ; if he com 
 mand to plant, they plant. 
 
 10 So all his people and his armies obey him : furthermore 
 he lieth down, he eateth and drinketh, and taketh his rest: 
 
 11 And these keep watch r-ound about him, neither may any 
 one depart, and do his own business, neither disobey him in any 
 thing. 
 
 12 O ye men, how should not the king be mightiest, when in 
 such sort he is obeyed ? And he held his tongue. 
 
 13 ^[ Then the third, who had spoken of women and of the 
 truth (this was Zorobabel) began to speak. 
 
 14 O ye men, it is not the great king, nor the multitude of 
 men, neither is it wine that excelleth : who is it then that ruleth 
 them, or hath the lordship over them ? are they not women ? 
 
 15 Women have born the king and all the people that bear 
 rule by sea and laud 3 
 
Apocrypha.

 16 Even of lliera came they: and tbey nourished them up 
 that planted the vineyards from whence the wine cometh. 
 
 17 These also make garments for men ; these bring glory 
 uuto men ; and without women cannot men be. 
 
 18 Yea, and if men have gathered together gold and silver, or 
 any other goodly thing, do they not love a woman which is 
 comely in favour and beauty ? 
 
 19 And letting all those things go, do they not gape, and even 
 with open mouth fix their eyes fast on her; and have not all men 
 more desire unto her than uuto silver or gold, or any goodly thing 
 whatsoever? 
 
 20 A man leaveth his own father that brought him up, and 
 bis own country, and cleaveth unto his wife. 
 
 21 He sticketh not to spend his life with his wife, and remem- 
 hereth neither father, nor mother, nor country. 
 
 22 By this also ye must know that women have dominion 
 over you : do ye not labour and toil, and give and bring all to 
 the woman ? 
 
 23 Yea, a man taketh his sword, and goeth his way to rob 
 and to steal, to sail upon the sea and upon rivers ; 
 
 21 And looketh upon a lion, and goeth in the darkness ; and 
 when he hath stolen, spoiled, and robbed, he bringeth it to his love. 
 
 25 Wherefore a man loveth his wife better than father or 
 mother. 
 
 26 Yea, many there be that have run out of their wits for 
 women, and become servants for their sakes. 
 
 27 Many also have perished, have erred, and sinned, for 
 women. 
 
 28 And now do ye not believe me ? Is not the king great in 
 his power ? do not all regions fear to touch him ? 
 
 29 Yet did I see him and Apame the king's concubine, the 
 daughter of the admirable Bartacus, sitting at the right hand of 
 the king, 
 
 30 And taking the crown from the king's head, and setting it 
 upon her own head ; she also struck the king with her left hand. 
 
 31 And yet for all this the king gaped and gazed upon her 
 with open mouth : if she laughed upon him, he laughed also : 
 but if she took any displeasure at him, the king was fain to 
 flatter, that she might be reconciled to him again. 
 
 32 ye men, how can it be but women should be strong, 
 seeing they do thus? 
 
 33 Then the king and the princes looked one upon another : 
 so he began to speak of the truth. 
 
 34 ye men, are not women strong? .great is the earth, high 
 is the heaven, swift is the sun in his course, for he compasseth 
 the heavens round about, and fetcheth his course again to his 
 own place in -me day. 
 
 35 Is he not great that maketh these things ? therefore great 
 is the truth, and stronger than all things. 
 
 36 All the earth called upon the truth, and the heaven blesseth 
 it : all works shake and tremble at it, and with it is no unright- 
 eous thing. 
 
 37 Wine is wicked, the king is wicked, women are wicked, 
 all the children of men are wicked, and such are all their wicked 
 works ; and there is no truth in them ; in their unrighteousness 
 
 lso they shall perish. 
 
 38 As for the truth, it endureth, and is always strong ; it 
 riveth and conquereth for evermore. 
 
 39 With her there is no accepting of persons or reward : but 
 she doeth the things that are just, and refraineth from all unjust 
 and wicked things ; and all men do well like of her works. 
 
 40 Neither in her judgment is any unrighteousness; and she 
 is the strength, kingdom, power, and majesty of all ages. Blessed 
 be the God of truth. 
 
 41 And with that he held his peace. And all the people 
 then shouted, and said, Great is truth, and mighty above all 
 things. 
 
 42 Then said the king unto him, Ask what thou wilt more 
 than is appointed in the writing, and we will give it thee, because 
 thou art found wisest; and thou shalt sit next me, and shalt be 
 called my cousin. 
 
 43 Then said he unto the king, Remember thy vow, which 
 thou hast vowed to build Jerusalem, in the day when thon 
 earnest to thy kingdom, 
 
 44 And to send away all the vessels that were taken away out 
 of Jerusalem, which Cyrus set apart, when he vowed to destroy 
 Babylon, and to send them again thither. 
 
 45 Thou also hast vowed to Vuild up the temple, which the 
 Edomites burned, when Judea was made desolate by the 
 Chaldees. 
 
 46 And now, lord the king, this is that which I requite, 
 and which I desire of thee, and this is the princely liberality pro- 
 ceeding from thyself: I desire therefore that thou make good 
 the vow, the performance whereof with thine own mouth thou 
 hast vowed to the King of heaven. 
 
 47 Then Darius the king stood up and kissed him, and wrote 
 letters for him unto all the treasurers, and lieutenants, and cap- 
 tains, and governors, that they should safely convey on their way 
 both him, and all those that go up with him to build Jerusalem. 
 
 48 He -wrote letters also unto the lieutenants that were in 
 Celosyria, and Phenice, and unto them in Libanus, that they 
 should bring cedar-wood from Libanus unto Jerusalem, and that 
 they should build the city with him. 
 
 49 Moreover he wrote for all the Jews that went out of his 
 realm up into Jewry, concerning their freedom, that no officer, 
 no ruler, no lieutenant, nor treasurer, should forcibly enter into 
 their doors; 
 
 50 And that all the country which they hold should be free 
 without tribute ; and that the Edomites should give over the 
 villages of the Jews which then they held : 
 
 51 Yea, that there should be yearly given twenty talents to 
 the building of the temple, until the time that it were built; 
 
 52 And other ten talents yearly, to maintain the burnt-offer- 
 ings upon the altar every day, as they had a commandment to 
 offer seventeen : 
 
 53 And that all they that went from Babylon to build the city 
 should have free liberty, as well they as their posterity, and all 
 the priests that went away. 
 
 54 He wrote also concerning the charges, and the priests' 
 vestments wherein they minister ; 
 
 55 And likewise for the charges of the Levites, to be given 
 them, until the day that the house were finished, and Jerusalem 
 builded up. 
 
 56 And he commanded to give to all that kept the city pen- 
 sions and uages. 
 
 57 He sent away also all the vessels from Babylon, that Cyrus 
 had set apart; and all that Cyrus had given in commandment, 
 the same charged he also to be done, aud sent unto Jerusalem. 
 
 58 Now when this young man was gone forth, he lifted up his 
 face to heaven, towards Jerusalem, aud praised the King of heaven. 
 
 59 And said, From thee cometh victory, from thee cometh 
 wisdom, and thine is the glory, and I am thy servant. 
 
 60 Blessed art thou, who hast given me wisdom : for to thee 1 
 give thanks, O Lord of our fathers. • 
 
 61 And so he took the letters, and went out, aud came uuto 
 Babylon, and told it all his brethren. 
 
 62 And they praised the God of their fathers, because he had 
 given them freedom and liberty 
 
 63 To go up, and to build Jerusalem, and the temple which 
 is called by his name : and they feasted with instruments of 
 music and gladness seven days. 
 
 CHAPTER V. 
 
 4 The names and number of the Jews that returned home. 60 Tlia 
 altar is set up in his place. 57 The foundation of the temple is laid. 
 73 The work is hindered for a time. 
 
 AFTER this were the principal men of the families chosen 
 according to their tribes, to go up with their wives, and 
 sons, and daughters, with their men-servants, and maid-servants, 
 and their cattle. 
 
 2 And Darius sent with them a thousand horsemen, till they

 had brought tnom back to Jerusalem safely, and with musical 
 [instruments] tabrets and flutes. 
 
 8 And all their brethren played, and lie made them go up to- 
 gether with them. 
 
 4 And these are the names "f the men which went up, accord- 
 ing to their families among their tribes, after their several heads.

 sons of Barodis, the sons of Sabat, the sons of Allom. 
 
 35 All the ministers of the temple, and the sons of the ser- 
 vants of Solomon, were three hundred seventy and two. 
 
 36 These came up from Thermelcth, and Thelcrsas, Charaa- 
 thalar leading them, and Aalar; 
 
 37 Neither could they show their families, nor their stock, 
 how they were of Israel : the sons of Ladan, the sons of Ban, 
 the sons of Necodan, six hundred fifty and two. 
 
 38 And of the priests that usurped the office of the priest- 
 hood, and were not found : the sons of Obdia, the sons of Accoz, 
 the sons of Addus who married Augia, one of the daughters of 
 Berzelus, and was named after his name. 
 
 39 And when the description of the kindred of these men was 
 sought in the register, and was not found, they were removed 
 from executing the office of the priesthood ; 
 
 40 For unto them said Nehemias and Atharias, that the? 
 should not be partakers of the holy things, till there arose up 
 an high-priest clothed with doctrine and truth. 
 
 41 So of Israel from them of twelve years old and upward, 
 they were all in number forty thousand, besides men-servants and 
 women-servants, two thousand three hundred and sixty. 
 
 42 Their men-servants and handmaids were seven thousand 
 three hundred forty and seven : the singing-men and singing- 
 women, two hundred forty and five : 
 
 43 Four hundred thirty and five camels, seven thousand thirty 
 and six horses, two hundred forty and five mules, five thousand 
 five hundred twenty and five beasts used to the yoke. 
 
 44 And certain of the chief of their families, when they came 
 to the temple of God that is in Jerusalem, vowed to set up the 
 house again in his own place according to their ability, 
 
 45 And to give into the holy treasury of the works a thousand 
 pounds of gold, five thousand of silver, an hundred priestly vest" 
 ments. 
 
 46 And so dwelt the priests, and the Levites, and the people 
 in Jerusalem, and in the country, the singers also and the porters; 
 and all Israel in their villages. 
 
 47 But when the seventh month was at hand, and wheu the 
 children of Israel were every man in his own place, they came 
 altogether with one consent into the open place of the first gate 
 which is towards the east. 
 
 48 Then stood up Jesus, the son of Josedee, and his brethren 
 the priests, and Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, and his brethren, 
 aud made ready the altar of the God of Israel, 
 
 49 To offer burnt-sacrifices upon it, according as it is expressly 
 commanded in the book of Moses the man of God. 
 
 50 And there were gathered unto them out of the othe? 
 nations of the land, and they erected the altar upon his own 
 place, because all the nations of the land were at enmity with 
 them, and oppressed them ; and they offered sacrifices according 
 to the time, and burnt-offerings to the Lord both morning aua 
 evening. 
 
npocrypba. 
 
 1. ESDRAS. 
 
 Apociypna. 
 
 51 Also they hold the feast of tabernacles, as it is commanded 
 in the law, and offered sacrifices daily, as was meet : 
 
 52 And after that, the continual oblations, and the sacrifice of 
 the sabbaths, and of the new moons, and of all holy feasts. 
 
 53 And all they that had made any vow to God began to offer 
 sacrifices to God from the first day of the seventh month, although 
 the temple of the Lord was not yet built. 
 
 54 And they gave unto the masons and carpenters money, 
 meat, and drink, with cheerfulness. 
 
 55 Unto them of Sidon also and Tyre they gave cars that they 
 should bring cedar trees from Libanus, which should be brought 
 by floats to the haven of Joppe, according as it was commanded 
 them by Cyrus king of the Persians. 
 
 56 And in the second year and second month after his coming 
 to the temple of God at Jerusalem began Zorobabel the son of 
 Salathiel, and Jesus the son of Josedec, and their brethren, and 
 the priests, and the Levites, and all they that were come unto 
 Jerusalem out of the captivity; 
 
 57 And they laid the foundation of the house of God in the. 
 first day of the second month, in the second year after they were 
 come to Jewry and Jerusalem. 
 
 58 And they appointed the Levites from twenty years old 
 over the works of the Lord. Then stood up Jesus and his sons 
 and brethren, and Cadmiel his brother, and the sons of Madia- 
 bun, with the sons of Joda the son of Eliadun, with their sons 
 and brethren, all Levites, with one accord setters forward of the 
 business, labouring to advance the works in the house of God. 
 So the workmen built the temple of the Lord. 
 
 59 And the priests stood arrayed in their vestments with mu- 
 sical instruments and trumpets; and the Levites the sons of 
 Asaph had cymbals, 
 
 GO Singing songs of thanksgiving, and praising the Lord, ac- 
 cording as David the king of Israel had ordained. 
 
 61 And they sung with loud voices songs to the praise of the 
 Lord, because his mercy and glory is for ever in all Israel. 
 
 62 And all the people sounded trumpets, and shouted with a 
 loud voice, singing songs of thanksgiving unto the Lord for the 
 rearing up of the house of the Lord. 
 
 63 Also of the priests and Levites, and of the chief of their 
 families, the ancients who had seen the former house, came to 
 the building of this with weeping and great crying. 
 
 64 But many with trumpets and joy shouted with loud voice, 
 
 65 Insomuch that the trumpets might not be heard for the 
 weeping of the people : yet the multitude sounded marvellously, 
 b •> that it was heard afar off. 
 
 66 Wherefore when the enemies of the tribe of Judah and 
 Benjamin heard it, they came to know what that noise of trum- 
 pets should mean. 
 
 67 And they perceived that they that were of the captivity 
 did build the temple unto the Lord God of Israel. 
 
 68 So they went to Zorobabel and Jesus, and to the chief of 
 the families, aud said unto them, We will build together with 
 
 vou. 
 
 69 For we likewise, as ye, do obey your Lord, and do sacrifice 
 nto him from the days of Azbazareth the king of the Assyrians, 
 
 Tvho brought us hither. 
 
 70 Then Zorobabel and Jesus, and the chief of the families 
 of Israel, said unto them, It is not for us and you to build to- 
 gether an house unto the Lord our God. 
 
 71 We ourselves alone will build unto the Lord of Israel, 
 according as Cyrus the king of the Persians hath commanded us. 
 
 72 But the heathen of the land lying heavy upon the in- 
 habitants of Judea, and holding them strait, hindered their 
 building; 
 
 73 And by their secret plots, and popular persuasions and 
 commotions, they hindered the finishing of the building ail the 
 time that king Cyrus lived : so they were hindered from building 
 for the space of two years, until the reign of Darius.

 CHAPTER VI 
 
 1 The prophets stir up the people to build the temple; 8 Darius is 
 solicited to hinder it; 27 but he doth further it by all means, 32 
 and threateneth those that shall hinder it. 
 
 NOW in the second year of the reign of Darius, Aggeus, and 
 Zacharias the son of Addo, the prophets, prophesied unto 
 the Jews, in Jewry and Jerusalem, in the name of the Lord 
 God of Israel, which was upon them. 
 
 2 Then stood up Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, and Josus 
 the son of Josedec, and began to build the house of the Lord at 
 Jerusalem, the prophets of the Lord being with them, and help- 
 ing them. 
 
 3 At the same time came unto them Sisinnes, the governor 
 of Syria and Phenice, with Sathrabuzanes, and his companions, 
 and said unto them, 
 
 4 By whose appointment do ye build this house and this roof, 
 and perform all the other things? and who are the workmen that 
 perform these things ? 
 
 5 Nevertheless the elders of the Jews obtained favour, because 
 the Lord had visited the captivity. 
 
 6 And they were not hindered from building, until such time 
 as signification was given unto Darius concerning them, and an 
 answer received. 
 
 7 The copy of the letters which Sisinnes, governor of Syria 
 and Phenice, and Sathrabuzanes, with their companions, rulers 
 in Syria and Phenice, wrote aud sent unto Darius; To king 
 Darius, greeting: 
 
 8 Let all things be known unto our lord the king, that being 
 come into the country of Judea, and entered into the city of Je- 
 rusalem, we found in the city of Jerusalem the ancients of the 
 Jews that were of the captivity, 
 
 9 Building an house unto the Lord, great and new, of hewn 
 and costly stones, and the timber already laid upon the walls. 
 
 10 And those works are done with great speed, and the wort 
 goeth on prosperously in their hands, and with all glory and dili- 
 gence is it made. 
 
 11 Then asked we these elders, saying, By whose command- 
 ment build ye this house, and lay the foundations of these works ? 
 
 12 Therefore to the intent that we might give knowledge unto 
 thee by writing, we demanded of them who were the chief doers, 
 and we required of them the names in writing of their principal 
 men. 
 
 13 So they gave us this answer, We are the servants of the 
 Lord which made heaven aud earth. 
 
 14 And as for this house, it was builded many years ago by a 
 king of Israel, great and strong, and was finished. 
 
 15 But when our fathers provoked God unto wrath, and 
 sinned against the Lord of Israel which is in heaven, he gave 
 them over into the power of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, 
 of the Chaldees ; 
 
 16 Who pulled down the house, and burned it, and carried 
 away the people captives unto Babylon. 
 
 17 But in the first year that king Cyrus reigned over the 
 country of Babylon, Cyrus the king wrote to build up this house. 
 
 18 And the holy vessels of gold and of silver that Nabucho 
 donosor had carried away out of the house at Jerusalem, and had 
 set them in his own temple, those Cyrus the king brought forth 
 again out of the temple at Babylon, and they were delivered tc 
 Zorobabel and to Sanabassarus the ruler, 
 
 19 With commandment that he should carry away the same 
 vessels, and put them in the temple at Jerusalem ; and that the 
 temple of the Lord should be built in his place. 
 
 20 Then the same Sanabassarus, being come hither, laid the 
 foundations of the house of the Lord at Jerusalem, and from 
 that time to this being still a building, it is not yet fully ended 
 
 21 Now, therefore, if it seem good unto the king, let search 
 be made among the records of king Cyrus : 
 
 22 And if it be found that the building of the house of the Lord 
 at Jerusalem, hath been done with the consent of king Cyrus, and 
 if our lord the king be so minded, let him signify unto us thereof 
 
Apocrvpha. 
 
 CHAP. VII, VI 1 1 
 
 Apoct/pna. 
 
 23 Then commanded king Darius to seek among the records 
 at Babylon : and so at Ecbatana, the palace, which is in the 
 country of Media, there was found a roll wherein these things 
 were recorded. 
 
 24 In the first year of the reign of Cyrus, king Cyrus com- 
 manded that the house of the Lord at Jerusalem should be built 
 again, where they do sacrifice with continual fire : 
 
 25 Whose height shall be sixty cubits, and the breadth sixty 
 cubits, with three rows of hewn stones, and one row of new 
 wood of that country ; and. the expenses thereof to be given out 
 of the house of king Cyrus : 
 
 26 And that the holy vessels of the house of the Lord, both 
 of gold and silver, that Nabuchodonosor took out of the house 
 at Jerusalem, and brought to Babylon, should be restored to the 
 house at Jerusalem, and be set in the place where they were 
 before. 
 
 27 And also he commanded that Sisinncs the governor of 
 Syria and Phenice, and Sathrabuzanes, and their companions, 
 and those which were appointed rulers in Syria and Phenice, 
 should be careful not to meddle with the place, but suffer Zoro- 
 babel, the servant of the Lord and governor of Judea, and the 
 elders of the Jews, to build the house of the Lord in that place. 
 
 28 I have commanded also to have it built up whole again ; 
 and that they look diligently to help those that be of the capti- 
 vity of the Jews, till the house of the Lord be finished : 
 
 29 And out of the tribute of Celosyria, and Phenice, a por- 
 tion carefully to be given these men, for the sacrifices of the Lord, 
 that is, to Zorobabel the governor, for bullocks, and rams, and 
 lambs ; 
 
 30 And also corn, salt, wine and oil, and that continually 
 every year without further question, according as the priests that 
 be in Jerusalem shall signify to be daily spent : 
 
 31 That offerings may be made to the most high God, for the 
 king, and for his children, and that they may pray for their lives. 
 
 32 And he commanded that whosoever should transgress, yea, 
 or make light of any thing afore spoken or written, out of his 
 own house should a tree be taken, and he thereon be hanged, and 
 all his goods seized for the king. 
 
 33 The Lord therefore, whose name is there called upon, ut- 
 terly destroy every king and nation, that stretcheth out his hand 
 to hinder or endamage that house of the Lord in Jerusalem. 
 
 34 I Darius the king have ordained that according unto these 
 things it be done with diligence. 
 
 CHAPTER VII. 
 
 1 Sisinnes and others help forward the building. 5 The temple is 
 finished and dedicated. 10 The passover is kept. 
 
 THEN Sisinnes the governor of Celosyria and Phenice, and 
 Sathrabuzanes, with their companions, following the com- 
 mandments of king Darius, 
 
 2 Did very carefully oversee the holy works, assisting the an- 
 cients of the Jews and governors of the temple. 
 
 3 And so the holy works prospered when Aggeus and Zacha- 
 rias the prophets prophesied. 
 
 4 And they finished these things by the commandment of the 
 Lord God of Israel, and with the consent of Cyrus, Darius, and 
 Artaxerxes, kings of Persia. 
 
 5 And thus was the holy house finished in the three and 
 tweutieth day of the month of Adar, in the sixth year of Darius 
 king of the Persians. 
 
 6 And the children of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and 
 others that were of the captivity, that were added unto them, did 
 according to the things written in the book of Moses. 
 
 7 And to the dedication of the temple of the Lord they offered 
 an hundred bullocks, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs ; 
 
 8 And twelve goats for the sin of all Israel, according to the 
 number of the chief of the tribes of Israel. 
 
 9 The priests also and the Levites stood arrayed in their vest- 
 ments, according to their kindreds, in the service of the Lord 
 God of Israel, according to the book of Moses : and the porters 
 at evwy gate 
 
 10 And the children of Israel that were of the captivity hell 
 the passover the fourteenth day of the first month; after that the 
 priests and the Levites were sanctified. 
 
 1 1 They that were of the captivity were not all sanctified to- 
 gether: but the Levites were all sanctified together. 
 
 12 And so they offered the passos'er for all them of the cap- 
 tivity, and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves. 
 
 13 And the children of Israel that came out of the captivity 
 did eat, even all they that had separated themselves from the 
 abominations of the people of the land, and Bought the Lord. 
 
 14 And they kept the feast of unleavened bread seven daya, 
 making merry before the Lord, 
 
 15 For that he had turned the council of the king of Assyria 
 towards them, to strengthen their hands in the works of the Lord 
 God of Israel. 
 
 CHAPTER VIII. 
 
 1 Esdras bringeth the king's commission to build; 8 The copy of it: 
 28 He declareth the names and number of those that came with him, 
 61 and his journey: 71 He lauienteth the sins of his people, 90 and 
 sweareth the priests to put away their strange wives. 
 
 AND after these things, when Artaxerxes the king of the Per- 
 sians reigned, came Esdras the son of Saraias, the son of 
 Ezerias, the son of Helchiah, the son of Salum, 
 
 2 The son of Sadduc, the son of Achitob, the son of Amarias, 
 the son of Ezias, the son of Meremoth, the son of Zarias, the 
 son of Savias, the son of Boccas, the son of Abisum, the son of 
 Phinees, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the chief priest. 
 
 3 This Esdras went up from Babylon, as a scribe, being very 
 ready in the law of Moses, that was given by the God of Israel. 
 
 4 And the king did him honour : for he found grace in his 
 sight in all his requests. 
 
 5 There went up with him also certain of the children of 
 Israel, of the priests, of the Levites, of the holy singers, porters, 
 and ministers of the temple, unto Jerusalem, 
 
 6 In the seventh year of the reigu of Artaxerxes, in the fifth 
 month, this was the king's seventh year; for they went from 
 Babylon in the first day of the first month, and came to Jerusa- 
 lem, according to the prosperous journey which the Lord gave 
 them. 
 
 7 For Esdras had very great skill, so that he omitted nothing 
 of the law and commandments of the Lord, but taught all Israel 
 the ordinances and judgments. 
 
 8 Now the copy of the commission, which was written from 
 Artaxerxes the king, and came to Esdras the priest and reader 
 of the law of the Lord, is this that followeth ; 
 
 9 King Artaxerxes unto Esdras the priest and reader of the 
 law of the Lord, sendeth greeting : 
 
 10 Having determined to deal graciously, I have given order, 
 that such of the nation of the Jews, and of the priests and Le- 
 vites being within our realm, as are willing and desirous, shou'.u 
 go with thee unto Jerusalem. 
 
 11 As many therefore as have a mind thereunto, let them de- 
 part with thee, as it hath seemed good both to me and my seven 
 friends the counsellors; 
 
 12 That they may iook unto the affairs of Judea and Jerusa- 
 lem, agreeably to that which is in the law of the Lord ; 
 
 13 And carry the gifts unto the Lord of Israel to Jerusalem^ 
 which I and my friends have vowed, and all the gold and silver 
 that in the country of Babylon can be found, to the Lord in 
 Jerusalem, 
 
 14 With that also which is given of the people for the temple 
 of the Lord their God at Jerusalem : and that silver and gold 
 may be collected for bullocks, rams, aad lambs, and things there- 
 unto appertaining; 
 
 15 To the end that they may offer sacrifices unto the Lord 
 upon the altar of the Lord their God, which is in Jerusalem. 
 
 16 And whatsoever thou and thy brethren will do with the 
 silver and gold, that do, according to the will of thy God. 
 
 17 And the holy vessels of the Lord which are given thee for 
 the use of the temple of thy God, which is in Jerusalem, thou 
 shalt set before thv God in Jerusalem. 
 
Apocrypha. 
 
 I. ESDKxYS. 
 
 Apocrypha. 
 
 18 And whatsoever thing else thou shalt remember for the 
 use of the temple of thy God, thou shalt give it out of the king's 
 treasury. 
 
 19 And 1 king Artaxcrxcs have also commanded the keepers 
 of the treasures in Syria and Phenice, that whatsoever Esdras the 
 priest and the reader of the law of the. most high God shall send 
 f or, they nhould give it him with speed, 
 
 20 To the sum of an hundred talents of silver, likewise also 
 c f wheat, even to an hundred cors, and an hundred pieces of wine, 
 and other things in abundance. 
 
 21 Let all things be performed after the law of God diligently 
 unto the most high God, that wrath come not upon the kingdom 
 of the king and his sons. 
 
 22 I command you also, that ye require no tax, nor any other 
 imposition, of any of the priests or Levites, or holy singers, or 
 porters, or ministers of the temple, or of any that have doings 
 in this temple, and that no man have authority to impose any 
 thing upon them. 
 
 23 And thou, Esdras, according to the wisdom of God, ordain 
 judges and justices, that they may judge in all Syria and Phenice 
 all those that know the law of thy God ; and those that know it 
 not thou shalt teach. 
 
 24 And whosoever shall transgress the law of thy God, and 
 of the king, shall be punished diligently, whether it be by death, 
 or other punishment, by penalty of money, or by imprisonment. 
 
 25 ^f Then said Esdras the scribe, Blessed be the only Lord 
 God of my fathers, who hath put these things into the heart of 
 the king, to glorify his house that is in Jerusalem : 
 
 26 And hath honoured me in the sight of the king, and his 
 counsellors, and all his friends, and nobles. 
 
 27 Therefore was I encouraged by the help of (he Lord my 
 God, and gathered together men of Israel to go up with me. 
 
 28 And these are the chief according to their families and 
 several dignities, that went up with me from Eabylon in the reign 
 of kijg Artaxerxes : 
 
 29 Of the sons of Phinees, Gerson : of the sons of ithamar, 
 Gamael : of the sons of David, Lettus the son of Sechenius : 
 
 30 Of the sons of Pharez, Zecharias; and with hin. were 
 counted an hundred and fifty men : 
 
 31 Of the sons of Pahath Moab, Eliaonias, the son of Za.-aias, 
 and with him two hundred men : 
 
 32 Of the sons of Zathoe, Sechenias the son of Jezelus, and 
 with him three hundred men : of the sons of Adin, Obeth the 
 son of Jonathan, and with him two hundred and fifty men : 
 
 33 Of the sons of Elam, Josias son of Gotholias, and with 
 him seventy men : 
 
 34 Of the sons of Saphatias, Zaraias son of Michael, and with 
 him threescore and ten men : 
 
 35 Of the sons of Joab, Abadias son of Jjzelus, and with him 
 two hundred and twelve men : 
 
 36 Of the sons of Banid, Assalimoth son of Josaphias, and 
 with him an hundred and threescore men : 
 
 37 Of the sons of Babi, Zecharias son of Bebai, and with him 
 twenty and eight men : 
 
 38 Of the sons of Astath, Johannes son of Acatan, and with 
 im an hundred and ten men : 
 
 39 Of the sons of Adonicam the last, and these are the names 
 of them, Eliphalet, Jeuel, and Samaias, and with them seventy 
 men : 
 
 40 Of the sons of Bago, Uthi the son of Istalcurus, and with 
 him seventy men. 
 
 41 And these I gathered together to the river called Theras, 
 where we pitched our tents three days: and then I surveyed 
 them. 
 
 42 But when I had found there none of (he priests and Levites, 
 
 43 Then sent I unto Eleazar, and Iduel, and Masman, 
 
 44 And Alnathan, and Mamaias, and Joribas, and Nathan, 
 Eunatan, Zecharias, and Mosollamon, principal men and learned. 
 
 45 And I bade them that they should go unto Saddeus the 
 saptain, who was in the place of the treasury : 
 
 46 Aud commanded them that they should speak unto Dad- 
 
 deus, and to his brethren, and to the treasurers in that puce, to 
 send us such men as might execute the priest's office in the hous* 
 of the Lord. 
 
 47 And by the mighty hand of our Lord they brought unto 
 us skilful men of the sons of Moli the son of Levi, the son of Is- 
 rael, Asebebia, and his sons, and his brethren, who were eighteen. 
 
 48 And Aijebia and Annuus. and Osaias his brother, of the 
 sons of Channuneus, and their sons, were twenty men. 
 
 49 And of the servants of the temple whom David had or- 
 dained, and the principal men for the service of the Levites (to 
 wit) the servants of the temple, two hundred and twenty, ths 
 catalogue of whose names were showed. 
 
 50 And there I vowed a fast unto the young men before our 
 Lord, to desire of him a prosperous journey both for us and them 
 that were with us, for our children, and for the cattle: 
 
 51 For I was ashamed to ask the king footmen, and horsemen, 
 and conduct for safeguard against our adversaries. 
 
 52 For we had said unto the king, that the power of the Lord 
 our God should be with them that seek him, to support them in 
 all ways. 
 
 53 And again we besought our Lord as touching these things, 
 and found him favourable unto us. 
 
 54 Then I separated twelve of the chief of the priests, Ese- 
 brias, and Assanias, and ten men of their brethren with them : 
 
 55 And I weighed them the gold, and the silver, and the holy 
 vessels of the house of our Lord, which the king and his council, 
 and the princes, and all Israel, had given. 
 
 56 And when I had weighed it, I delivered unto them six 
 hundred and sixty talents of silver, and silver vessels of an hun- 
 dred talents, and an hundred talents of gold, 
 
 57 And twenty golden vessels, and twelve vessels of brass, 
 even of fine brass, glittering like gold. 
 
 58 And I said unto them, Both ye are holy unto the Lord, 
 and the vessels are holy, and the gold and the silver is a vow 
 unto the Lord, the Lord of our fathers. 
 
 59 Watch ye, and keep them till ye deliver them to the chief 
 of the priests and Levites, and to the principal men of the fami- 
 lies of Israel, in Jerusalem, into the chambers of the house of 
 our God. 
 
 60 So the priests and the Levites, who had received the silver, 
 and the gold, and the vessels, brought them unto Jerusalem into 
 the temple of the Lord. 
 
 61 And from the river Theras we departed the twelfth day of 
 the first month, and came to Jerusalem by the mighty hand of 
 our Lord, which was with us; and from the beginning of our 
 journey the Lord delivered us from every enemy, and so we came 
 to Jerusalem. 
 
 62 And when we had been there three days, the gold and sil- 
 ver that was weighed was delivered in the house of our Lord on 
 the fourth day unto Marmoth the priest the son of Iri. 
 
 63 And with him was Eleazar the son of Phinees, and with 
 them were Josabad the son of Jesu, and Moeth the son of Sab- 
 ban, Levites : all was delivered them by number and weight 
 
 64 And all the weight of them was written up the same hour 
 
 65 Moreover, they that were come out of the captivity offered 
 sacrifice unto the Lord God of Israel, even twelve bullocks for »:1 
 Israel, fourscore and sixteen rams, 
 
 66 Threescore and twelve lambs, goats for a peace offering, 
 twelve ; all of them a sacrifice to the Lord. 
 
 67 And they delivered the king's commandments unto the 
 king's stewards, and to the governors of Celosyria aud Phenice ; 
 and they honoured the people and the temple of God. 
 
 68 Now when these things were done, the rulers came unto 
 me, and said, 
 
 69 The nation of Israel, the princes, the priests, and Levites, 
 have not put away from them the strange people of the land, nor 
 the pollutions of the Gentiles, to wit, of the Canaanites, Hir- 
 tites, Pheresites, Jebusites, and the Moabites, Egyptians, and 
 Edomites. 
 
 70 For both they and their sons have married with their 
 daughters, and the holy seed is mixed with the strange people <>t 
 
Apocryptia.

 the land ; and from the beginning of tins matter the rulers and 
 the great men have been partakers of this iniquity. 
 
 71 And as soon as I had heard these things, I rent my clothes, 
 and the holy garment, and pulled oft' the hair from oft' my head 
 and beard, and sat me down sad and very heavy. 
 
 72 So all they that were then moved at the word of the Lord 
 God of Israel, assembled unto me, whilst I mourned for the in- 
 iquity : but I sat still full of heaviness until the evening's sacri- 
 fice:. 
 
 73 Then rising up from the fast with my clothes and the holy 
 garment rent, and bowing my knees, and stretching forth my 
 hands unto the Lord, 
 
 74 I said, Lord, I am confounded and ashamed before thy 
 face ; 
 
 75 For our sins are multiplied above our heads, and our igno- 
 rances have reached up unto heaven. 
 
 76 For ever since the time of our fathers, we have been and 
 are in great sin, even unto this day. 
 
 77 And for our sins and our fathers' we with our brethren 
 and our kings and our priests were given up unto the kings of 
 the earth, to the sword, and to captivity, and for a prey with 
 shame, unto this day. 
 
 78 And now in some measure hath mercy been stowed unto 
 ns from thee, Lord, that there should be left us a root and a 
 name in the place of thy sanctuary ; 
 
 79 And to discover unto us a light in the house of the Lord 
 our God, and to give us food in the time of our servitude. 
 
 80 Yea, when we were in bondage, we were not forsaken of 
 our Lord ; but he made us gracious before the kings of Persia, 
 so that they gave us food ; 
 
 81 Yea, and honoured the temple of our Lord, and raised up 
 the desolate Zion, that they have given us a sure abiding in 
 Jewry and Jerusalem. 
 
 82 And now, Lord, what shall we say, having these things? 
 for we have transgressed thy commandments which thou gavest 
 by the hand of thy servants the prophets, saying, 
 
 83 That the land which ye enterunto to possess as an heritage, 
 is a land polluted with the pollutions of the strangers of the land, 
 and they have filled it with their uncleanness. 
 
 84 Therefore now shall ye not join your daughters unto their 
 Rons, neither shall ye take their daughters unto your sons. 
 
 85 Moreover, ye shall never seek to have peace with them, 
 that ye may be strong, and eat the good things of the land, and 
 that ye may leave the inheritance of the land unto your children 
 for evermore. 
 
 86 And all that is befallen, is done unto us for our wicked 
 works, and great sins : for thou, Lord, didst make our sins 
 light, 
 
 87 And didst give unto us such a root; but we have turned 
 back again to transgress thy law, and to mingle ourselves with 
 the uncleanness of the nations of the land. 
 
 88 Mightest not thou be angry with us to destroy us, till thou 
 hadst left us neither root, seed, nor name ? 
 
 89 Lord of Israel, thou art true : for we are left a root this 
 day. 
 
 90 Behold, now are we before thee in our iniquities, for we 
 cannot stand any longer by reason of these things before thee. 
 
 91 And as Esdras in his prayer made his confession, weeping, 
 and lying flat upon the ground before the temple, there gathered 
 unto him from Jerusalem a very great multitude of men, and 
 women, and children : for there was great weeping among the 
 multitude. 
 
 92 Then Jechonius the son of Jeelus, one of the sons of Is- 
 rael, jailed out, and said, Esdras, we have sinned against the 
 Lord God, we have married strange women of the nations of the 
 land, and now is all Israel aloft 
 
 93 Let us make an oath to the Lord, that we will put away 
 all our wives, which we have taken of the heathen, with their 
 children, 
 
 94 Like as tLou hast decreed, and as many as do obey the law 
 of the Lord. 
 
 b 
 
 95 Arise, and put in execution . for to dice doth this matter 
 appertain, and we will be with thee: do valiantly. 
 
 96 So Esdras arose, and took an oath of the chief of the priests 
 and Levitcs of all Israel to do after these thing*; and so they 
 sware. 
 
 CHAPTER IX. 
 
 1 Esdras assembleth all the people. 10 They promise to put away tno 
 strange wives. 20 The names and number of them that <Jid bo. 
 40 The law of Moses is read and declared before all the people. 49 
 They weep, and are put in mind of the feast-day. 
 
 THEN Esdras, rising from the court of the temple, went to the 
 chamber of Joanan the son of Eliasib, 
 
 2 And remained there, and did eat no meat, nor drink water, 
 mourning for the great iniquities of the multitude. 
 
 3 And there was a proclamation in all Jewry and Jerusalem 
 to all them that were of the captivity, that they should be gath- 
 ered together at Jerusalem : 
 
 4 And that whosoever met not there within two or three days, 
 according as the elders that bare rule appointed, their cattle 
 should be seized to the use of the temple, and himself cast out 
 from them that were of the captivity. 
 
 5 And in three days were all they of the tribe of Juda and 
 Benjamin gathered together at Jerusalem the twentieth day of 
 the ninth month. 
 
 6 And all the multitude sat trembling in the broad court of 
 the temple because of the present foul weather. 
 
 7 So Esdras arose up, and said unto them, Ye have trans- 
 gressed the law in marrying strange wives, thereby to increase 
 the sins of Israel. 
 
 8 And now by confession give glory unto the Lord God of 
 our fathers, 
 
 9 And do his will, and separate yourselves from the heathen 
 of the land, and from the strange women. 
 
 10 Then cried the whole multitude, and said with a loud voice, 
 Like as thou hast spoken, so will we do. 
 
 11 But forasmuch as the people are many, and it is foul 
 weather, so that we cannot stand without, and this is not a work 
 of a day or two, seeing our sin in these things is spread far : 
 
 12 Therefore let the rulers of the multitude stay, and let all 
 them of our habitations that have strange wives come at the time 
 appointed, 
 
 13 And with them the rulers and judges of every place, till 
 we turn away the wrath of the Lord from us for this matter. 
 
 14 Then Jonathan the son of Azael, and Ezekias the son of 
 Theocanus, accordingly took this matter upon them : and Mosou 
 lam, and Levis, and Sabbatheus, helped them. 
 
 15 And they that were of the captivity did according to all 
 these things. 
 
 16 And Esdras the priest chose unto him the principal men 
 of their families, all by name : and in the first day of the tenth 
 month they sat together to examine the matter. 
 
 17 So their cause that held strange wives was brought to an 
 end in the first day of the first month. 
 
 18 And of the priests that were come together, and had strange 
 wives, there were found : 
 
 19 Of the sons of Jesus the son of Josedec, and his brethren ; 
 Matthelas, and Eleazar, and Joribus, and Joadanus. 
 
 20 And they gave their hands to put away their wives, and 
 to offer rams to make reconcilement for their errors. 
 
 21 And of the sons of Emmer; Ananias, and Zaddcus, and 
 Eanes, and Sameius, and Hiereel, and Azarias. 
 
 22 And of the sons of Phaisa; Elionas, Massias, Ismacl, and 
 Nathanael, and Ocidelus, and Talsas. 
 
 23 And of the Levites ; Jozabad, and Semis, and Collius, who 
 was called Calitas, and Patheus, and Judas, and Jonas. 
 
 24 Of the holy singers; Eleazurus, Bacchurus. 
 
 25 Of the porters ; Sallumus, and Tolbanes. 
 
 26 Of them of Israel, of the sons of Phoros; Hicrmas, and 
 Eddias, and Melchias, and Maelus, and Eleazar, and Asibias, aod 
 Baanias.

 Jariniotb, and Sabatus, and Sardeus. 
 
 29 Of the sons of Bebai ; Johannes, and Ananias, and Josa-

 30 Of the sons of Mani; Olamus, Mamuchus, Jedeus, Jasu-

 .31 And of the sons of Addi; Naathus, and Moosias, Lacunus, 
 and JSaidus, and Mathanias, and Sesthel, Balnuus, and Manas- 
 seas. 
 
 32 And of the sons of Annas ; Elionas, and Aseas, and Mel- 
 ;hias, and Sabbeus, and Simon Ghosameus. 
 
 33 And of the sons of Asom; Altaneus, and Matthias, and 
 liannaia, Eliphalat, and Manasses, and Semei, 
 
 34 And of the sons of Maani ; Jeremias, Momdis, Omaerus, 
 Juel, Mabdai, and Pelias, and Anos, Carabasion, and Enasibus, 
 and Mamnitanaimus, Eliasis, Bannus, Eliali, Samis, Selcmias,

 niatus, Zanibis, Josephus. 
 
 35 And of the sons of Ethma; Mazitias, Zabadaias, Edes, 
 Juel, Banaias. 
 
 36 All these had taken strange wives, and they put them away 
 with their children. 
 
 37 And the priests and Levites and they that were of Israel, 
 dwelt in Jerusalem, and in the country, in the first day of the 
 seventh month : so the children of Israel were in their habita- 
 tions. 
 
 38 And the whole multitude came together with one accord 
 into the broad place of the holy porch towards the east : 
 
 39 And they spake unto Esdras the priest and reader, that he 
 would bring the law of Moses, that was given of the Lord God 
 of Israel. 
 
 40 So Esdras the chief priest brought the law unto the whole 
 multitude from man to woman, and to all the'priests, to hear the 
 law in the first day of the seventh month. 
 
 4i Aud be read in the broad court before the holy porch from 
 morning until mid-day, before both men and women; and all the 
 multitude gave heed unto the law. 
 
 42 And Esdras the priest, and reader of the law, stood up 
 upon a pulpit of wood, which was made for that purpose 
 
 43 And there stood up by him Mattathias. Sammus, Ananias, 
 Azarias, Urias, Ezecias, Balasamus, upon the right hand: 
 
 44 And upon his left hand stood Phaldaius, Misael, Melchias, 
 Lothasubus, and Nabarias. 
 
 45 Then took Esdras the book of the law before the multitude : 
 for he sat honourably in the first place in the sight of them all. 
 
 46 And when he opened the law, they stood all straight up. 
 So Esdras blessed the Lord God most High, the God of hosts, 
 Almighty. 
 
 47 And all the people answered, Amen ; and lifting up theii 
 hands they fell to the ground, and worshipped the Lord. 
 
 48 Also Jesus, Anus, Sarabias, Adinus, Jacubus, Sabatteas, 
 Auteas, Maianeas, and Calitas, Azarias, and Joazabdus, and An- 
 anias, Biatas, the Levites, taught the law of the Lord, making 
 them withal to understand it. 
 
 49 Then spake Attharates unto Esdras the chief priest and 
 reader, and to the Levites that taught the multitude, even to all, 
 saying, 
 
 50 This day is holy unto the Lord : (for they all wept when 
 they heard the law.) 
 
 51 Go then, and eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send 
 part to them that have nothing; 
 
 52 For this day is holy unto the Lord : and be not sorrowful; 
 for the Lord will bring you to honour. 
 
 53 So the Levites published all things to the people, saying, 
 This day is holy to the Lord ; be not sorrowful. 
 
 54 Then went they their way, every one to eat and drink, and 
 make merry, and to give part to them that had nothing, and to 
 make great cheer; 
 
 55 Because they understood the words wherein they were in- 
 structed, and for the which they had been assembled.

 CHAPTER I. 
 
 1 Esdras is commanded to reprove the people. 24 God threateneth to 
 cast them off, 35 and to give their houses to a people of more grace 
 than they. 
 
 THE second book of the prophet Esdras, the son of Saraias, 
 the son of Azarias, the son of Helchias, the son of Sadamias, 
 the son of Sadoc, the son of Achitob, 
 
 2 The sou of Achias, the son of Phinees, the son of Heli, the 
 son of Amarias, the son of Aziei, the son of Marimoth, the sou 
 of Arna, the son of Ozias, the son of Borith, the son of Abisei, 
 the son of Phinees, the son of Eleazar, 
 
 3 The son of Aaron, of the tribe of Levi; which was captive 
 n the land of the Medes, iD the reign of Artaxerxes king of the 
 
 ersians. 
 
 4 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 
 
 5 Go thy way, and show my people their sinful deeds, and 
 their children their wickedness which they have done against me ; 
 that they may tell their children's children : 
 
 6 Because the sins of their fathers are increased in them : for 
 they have forgotten me, and have offered unto strange gods. 
 
 7 Am not I even he that brought them out of the land of 
 Egypt, from the house of bondage? but they have provoked me 
 unto wrath, and despised my counsels. 
 
 8 Pull thou off then the hair of thy head, and cast all evil 
 upon them, for they have not been obedient unto my law, but it 
 is a rebellious people. 
 
 9 How long shall I forbear them unto whom I have done so 
 much good ? 
 
 h 10 
 
 10 Many kings have I destroyed for their sakes; Pharaoh 
 with his servants, and all his power have I smitten down. 
 
 11 All the nations have I destroyed before them, and in the 
 east I have scattered the people of two provinces, even of Tyrus 
 and Sidon, and have slain all their enemies. 
 
 12 Speak thou therefore unto them, saying, Thus saith the 
 Lord, 
 
 13 I led you through the sea, and in the beginning gave you 
 a large and safe passage : I gave you Moses for a leader, and 
 Aaron for a priest. 
 
 14 I gave you light in a pillar of fire, and great wonders have 
 I done among you ; yet have ye forgotten me, saith the Lord. 
 
 15 Thus saith the Almighty Lord, The quails were as a token 
 to you ; I gave you tents for your safeguard : nevertheless ye 
 murmured there, 
 
 16 And triumphed not in my name for the destruction of yom 
 enemies, but ever to this day do ye yet murmur. 
 
 17 "Where are the benefits that I have done for you? When 
 ye were hungry and thirsty in the wilderness, did ye not cry 
 unto me, 
 
 18 Saying, Why hast thou brought us into this wilderness to 
 kill us ? it had been better for us to have served the Egyptians, 
 than to die in this wilderness. 
 
 19 Then had I pity upon your mournings, and gave you man- 
 na to eat ; so ye did eat angels' bread. 
 
 20 When ye were thirsty, did I not cleave the rock, and waters 
 flowed out to your fill ? for the heat I covered you with the leaves 
 of the trees.

 21 1 divided among you a fruitful land, 1 cast out the Cana- 
 anites, the Pherezites, and the Philistines, before you : what shall 
 [ yet do more for you? saith the Lord. 
 
 22 Thus saith the Almighty Lord, When ye were in the wil- 
 derness, in the river of the Auioritcs, being athirst, and blas- 
 pheming my name, 
 
 23 I gave you not fire for your blasphemies, but cast a tree in 
 the water, and made the river sweet. 
 
 24 What shall I do unto thee, Jacob ? thou Juda wouldest 
 not obey me : I will turn me to other nations, and unto those 
 will I give my name, that they may keep my statutes. 
 
 25 Seeing ye have forsaken me, I will forsake you also; when 
 ye desire me to be gracious unto you, I shall have no mercy 
 upon you. 
 
 26 Whensoever ye shall call upon me, I will not hear you : 
 for ye have defiled your hands with blood, and your feet are swift 
 to commit manslaughter. 
 
 27 Ye have not as it were forsaken me, but your own solves, 
 saith the Lord. 
 
 28 Thus saith the Almighty Lord, Have I not prayed you as 
 a father his sons, as a mother her daughters, and a nurse her 
 young babes, 
 
 29 That ye would be my people, and I should be your God ; 
 that ye would be my children, and I should be your father ? 
 
 30 I gathered you together, a3 a hen gathereth her chickens 
 under her wings : but now what shall I do unto you ? I will cast 
 you out from my face. 
 
 31 When ye offer unto me, I will tarn my face from you: for 
 your solemn feast-days, your new moons, and your circumcisions 
 have I forsaken. 
 
 32 I sent unto you my servants the prophets, whom ye have 
 taken and slain, and torn their bodies in pieces, whose blood I 
 will require of your hands, saith the Lord. 
 
 33 Thus saith the Almighty Lord, Your house is desolate, I 
 will cast you out as the wind doth stubble. 
 
 34 And your children shall not be fruitful; for they have 
 despised my commandment, and done the thing that is evil 
 before me. 
 
 35 Your houses will I give to a people that shall come; which 
 not having heard of me yet shall believe me : to whom I have 
 showed no signs, yet they shall do that I have commanded them. 
 
 36 They have seen no prophets, yet they shall call their sins 
 to remembrance, and acknowledge them. 
 
 37 I take to witness the grace of the people to come, whose 
 little ones rejoice in gladness : and though they have not seen 
 me with bodily eyes, yet in spirit they believe the thing that I say. 
 
 38 And now, brother, behold what glory; and see the people 
 that come from the east : 
 
 39 Unto whom I will give for leaders, Abraham, Isaac, and 
 Jacob, Oseas, Amos, and Micheas, Joel, Abdias, and Jonas.

 Malachy, which is called also an angel of the Lord. 
 
 CHAPTER II. 
 
 3od complaineth of his people : 10 yet Esdras is willed to comfort 
 them. 34 Because they refused, the Gentiles are called. 43 Esdras 
 seeth the Son of God, and those that are crowned by him. 
 
 r FHUS saith the Lord, I brought this people out of bondage, 
 J- and I gave them my commandments by my servants the 
 prophets ; whom they would not hear, but despised my counsels. 
 
 2 The mother that bare them saith unto them, Go your way, 
 ye children ; for I am a widow and forsaken. 
 
 3 I brought you up with gladness; but with sorrow and hea- 
 viness have I lost you : for ye have sinned before the Lord your 
 God, and done that thing that is evil before him. 
 
 4 But what shall I now do unto you ? I am a widow and for- 
 saken : go your way, my children, and ask mercy of the Lord. 
 
 5 As for me, father, I call upon thee for a witness over the 
 mother of these children, which would not keep my covenant, 
 
 6 That thou bring them to confusion, and their mother to a 
 spoil that there may be no offspring of them. 
 
 7 Let them be scattered abroad among the heathen, let their 
 names be put out of the earth : for they have despised my cove- 
 nant. 
 
 8 Wo be unto thee, Assur, thou that tridest the unrighteous in 
 thee ! thou wicked people, remember what I did unto Scdom 
 and Gomorrah; 
 
 9 Whose land lieth in clods of pitch and heaps of ashes : even 
 so also will I do unto them that hear me not, saith the Almighty 
 Lord. 
 
 10 Thus saith the Lord unto Esdras, Tell my people that I 
 will give them the kingdom of Jerusalem, which I would have 
 given unto Israel. 
 
 11 Their glory also will I take unto me, and give these the 
 everlasting tabernacles, which I had prepared for them. 
 
 12 They shall have the tree of life for an ointment of sweet 
 savour ; the}' shall neither labour nor be weary. 
 
 13 Go, and ye shall receive: pray for few days unto you, that 
 they may be shortened : the kingdom is already prepared for you: 
 watch. 
 
 14 Take heaven and earth to witness; for I have broken the 
 evil in pieces, and created the good : for I live, saith the Lord. 
 
 15 Mother, embrace thy children, and bring them up with 
 gladness, make their feet as fast as a pillar : for I have chosen 
 thee, saith the Lord. 
 
 16 And those that be dead will I raise up again from their 
 places, and bring them out of the graves : for I have known my 
 name in Israel. 
 
 17 Fear not, thou mother of the children : for I have chosen 
 chee, saith the Lord, 
 
 18 For thy help will I send my servants, Esay and Jeremy, 
 after whose counsel I have sanctified and prepared for thee twelve 
 trees laden with divers fruits, 
 
 19 And as many fountains flowing with milk and honey, and 
 seven mighty mountains, whereupon there grow roses and lilies, 
 whereby I will fill thy children with joy. 
 
 20 Do right to the widow, judge for the fatherless, give to the 
 poor, defend the orphan, clothe the naked, 
 
 21 Heal the broken and the weak, laugh not a lame man to 
 scorn, defend the maimed, and let the blind man come into the 
 sight of my clearness. 
 
 22 Keep the old and young within thy walls. 
 
 23 Wheresoever thou findest the dead, take them and burv 
 them, and I will give thee the first place in my resurrection. 
 
 24 Abide still, O my people, and take thy rest, for thy quiet- 
 ness shall come. 
 
 25 Nourish thy children, O thou good nurse; stablish their feet. 
 
 26 As for the servants whom I have given thee, there shall 
 not one of them perish ; for I will require them from among thy 
 number. 
 
 27 Be not weary : for when the lay of trouble and heaviness 
 cometh, others shall weep and be sorrowful, but thou shalt be 
 merry, and have abundance. 
 
 28 The heathen shall envy thee, but they shall be able to do 
 nothing against thee, saith '.he Lord. 
 
 29 My hands shall cover thee, so that tby children shall not 
 see hell. 
 
 30 Be joyful, O thou mother, with thy children; for I will 
 deliver thee, saith the Lord. 
 
 31 Remember thy children that sleep, for I shall bring them 
 out of the sides of the earth, and show mercy unto them : for I 
 am merciful, saith the Lord Almighty. 
 
 32 Embrace thy children until I come, and show mercy unto 
 them : for my wells run over, and my grace shall not fail. 
 
 33 I Esdras received a charge of the Lord upon the mount 
 Oreb, that I should go unto Israel ; but when I came unto them, 
 they set me at naught, and despised the commandment of tho 
 Lord. 
 
 34 And therefore I say unto you, O ye heathen, that hear 
 and understand, Look for your Shepherd, he shall give you ever- 
 lasting rest; for he is nigh at hand, that shall come hi the end 
 
 of the world

 35 Be ready to tbe reward of the kingdom, for the everlasting 
 light shall shiue upon you for evermore. 
 
 36 Flee the shadow of this world, receive the joyfulness of 
 vour glory : I testify my Saviour openly. 
 
 37 receive the gift that is given you, and be glad, giving 
 thanks unto him that hath called you to the heavenly kingdom. 
 
 38 Arise up and stand, behold the number of those that be 
 sealed in the feast of the Lord ; 
 
 39 Which are departed from the shadow of the world, and 
 iave received glorious garments of the Lord. 
 
 •10 Take thy number, Sion, and shut up those of thine that 
 *r3 clothed in white, which have fulfilled the law of the Lord. 
 
 41 The number of thy children whom thou longedst for, is 
 fulfilled : beseech the power of the Lord, that thy people, which 
 have base called from the beginning, may be hallowed. 
 
 42 1 Esdras saw upon the mount Sion a great people, whom 
 I could not number, and they all praised the Lord with songs. 
 
 43 And in the midst of them there was a young man of an 
 high stature, taller than all the rest, and upon every one of their 
 heads he set crowns, and was more exalted; which I marvelled 
 at greatly. 
 
 44 So I asked the angel, and said, Sir, what are these ? 
 
 45 He answered and said unto me, These be they that have 
 out off the mortal clothing, and put on the immortal, and have 
 confessed the name of God : now are they crowned, and receive 
 palms. 
 
 46 Then said I unto the angel, What young person is it that 
 crowneth them, and giveth them palms in their hands? 
 
 47 So he answered and said unto me, It is the Son of God, 
 whom they have confessed in the world. Then began I greatly 
 to commend them that stood so stiffly for the name of the Lord. 
 
 48 Then the angel said unto me, Go thy way, and tell my 
 people what manner of things, and how great wonders of the Lord 
 thy God thou hast seen. 
 
 CHAPTER III. 
 
 1 Esdras is troubled, 13 and acknowledged the sins of the people: 
 28 yet coniplaineth that the heathen were lords over them, being 
 more wicked than they. 
 
 IN the thirtieth year after the ruin of the city, I was in Baby- 
 lon, and lay troubled upon my bed, and my thaughts came up 
 over my heart : 
 
 2 For I saw the desolation of Sion, and the wealth of them 
 that dwelt at Babylon. 
 
 3 And my spirit was sore moved, so that I began to speak 
 words full of fear to the Most High, and said, 
 
 4 Lord, who bearest rule, thou spakest at the beginning, 
 when thou didst plant the earth (and that thyself alone) and 
 commandedst the people, 
 
 5 And gavest a body unto Adam without soul, which was the 
 workmanship of thine hands, and didst breathe into him the 
 breath of life, and he was made living before thee. 
 
 6 And thou leddest him into paradise, which thy right hand 
 had planted, before ever the earth came forward. 
 
 7 And unto him thou gavest commandment to love thy way : 
 hich he transgressed, and immediately thou appointedst death 
 
 n him and in his generations, of whom came nations, tribes, 
 people, and kindreds, out of number. 
 
 8 And every people walked after their own will, and did won- 
 derful things before thee, and despised thy commandments. 
 
 9 And again in process of time thou broughtest the flood upon 
 those that dwelt in the world, and destroyedst them. 
 
 10 And it came to pass in every of them, that as death was to 
 Adam, so was the flood to these. 
 
 11 Nevertheless, one of them thou leftest, namely, Noah with 
 his household, of whom came all righteous men. 
 
 12 And it happened that when they that dwelt upon the earth 
 began to multiply, and hao gotten them many children, and were 
 a great people, they began again to be more ungodly than the first. 
 
 14 New when thej lived so wickedly before thee, thou didst 
 choosethee a man from among them, whose name was Abraham. 
 
 12 
 
 14 Him thou lovedst, and unto him only thou showedst thy 
 will : 
 
 15 And madest an everlasting covenant with him, promising 
 him that thou wouldcst never forsake his seed. 
 
 16 And unto him thou gavest Isaac, and unto Isaac also thou 
 gavest Jacob and Esau. As for Jacob, thou didst choose him to 
 thee, and put by Esau : and so Jacob became a great multitude 
 
 17 And it came to pass, that when thou leddest his seed out 
 of Egypt, thou broughtest them up to the mount Sinai, 
 
 18 And bowing the heavens, thou didst set fast the earth, 
 movedst the whole world, and madest the depths to tremble, and 
 troubledst the men of that age. 
 
 19 And thy glory went through four gates, of fire, and of 
 earthquake, and of wind, and of cold ; that thou mightest give 
 the law unto the seed of Jacob, and diligence unto the generation 
 of Israel. 
 
 20 And yet tookest thou not away from them a wicked heart, 
 that thy law might bring forth fruit in them. 
 
 21 For the first Adam bearing a wicked heart, transgressed, 
 and was overcome ; and so be all they that are born of him. 
 
 22 Thus infirmity was made permanent; and the law (also) 
 in the heart of the people with the malignity of the root; so that 
 the good departed away, and the evil abode still. 
 
 23 So the times passed away, and the years were brought to 
 an end : then didst thou raise thee up a servant, called David : 
 
 24 Whom thou commandest to build a city unto thy name, 
 and to offer incense and oblations unto thee therein. 
 
 25 When this was done many years, then they that inhabited 
 the city forsook thee, 
 
 26 And in all things did even as Adam and all his generations 
 had done : for they also had a wicked heart : 
 
 27 And so thou gavest thy city over into the hands of thine 
 enemies. 
 
 28 Are their deeds then any better that inhabit Babylon, that 
 they should therefore have the dominion over Sion ? 
 
 29 For when I came thither, and had seen impieties without 
 number, then my soul saw many evil-doers in this thirtieth year, 
 so that my heart failed me. 
 
 30 For I have seen how thou sufferest them sinning, and hast 
 spared wicked doers : and hast destroyed thy people, and hast 
 preserved thine enemies, and hast not signified it. 
 
 31 I do not remember how this way may be left: Are they 
 then of Babylon better than they of Si v on ? 
 
 32 Or is there any other people that knoweth thee besides Is- 
 rael ? or what generation hath so believed thy covenants as Jacob ? 
 
 33 And yet their reward appeareth not, and their labour hath 
 no fruit : for I have gone here and there through the heathen, 
 and I see that they flow in wealth, and think not upon thy com- 
 mandments. 
 
 34 Weigh thou therefore our wickedness now in the balance, 
 and theirs also that dwell in the world ; and so shall thy name 
 no where be found but in Israel. 
 
 35 Or when was it that they which dwell upon the earth have 
 not sinned in thy sight ? or what people hath so kept thy com 
 mandments ? 
 
 36 Thou shalt find that Israel by name hath kept thy precepts ■ 
 but not the heathen. 
 
 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 1 The angel declareth the ignorance of Esdras in God's judgments, 11 
 and adviseth him not to meddle with things above his reach. 23 
 Nevertheless Esdras asketh divers questions, and receiveth answers 
 to them. 
 
 AND the angel that was sent unto me, whose name was Uriel 
 gave me an answer, 
 
 2 And said, Thy heart hath gone too far in this world, and 
 thinkest thou to comprehend the way of the Most High ? 
 
 3 Then said I, Yea, my lord. And he answered me, and said, 
 I am sent to show thee three ways, and to set forth three simili- 
 tudes before thee : 
 
 4 Whereof if thou canst declare uic one, I will show thee also 
 
Apociypna 
 
 CHAP. V. 
 
 Apocrjpha. 
 
 the way that thou desirest to sec, and I shall show thee from 
 wheuce the wicked heart cometh. 
 
 5 And I said, Toll on, my lord. Then said he unto me, Go 
 thy way, weigli me the weight of the fire, or measure me the 
 blast of the wind, or call me again the day that is past. 
 
 6 Then answered I and said, what man is able to do that, that 
 thou shouldcst ask such things of me ? 
 
 7 And he said unto me, If I should ask thee how great dwell- 
 ings are in the midst of the sea, or how many springs are in the 
 beginning of the deep, or how many springs are above the firma- 
 ment, or which are the outgoings of paradise : 
 
 8 Peradventure thou wouldest say unto me, I never went 
 down into the deep, nor as yet into hell, neither did I ever climb 
 up into heaven. 
 
 9 Nevertheless now have I asked thee but only of the fire and 
 wind, and of the day wherethrough thou hast passed, and of 
 things from which thou canst not be separated, and yet canst 
 thou give me no answer of them. 
 
 10 He said moreover unto me, Thine own things, and such as 
 are grown up with thee, canst thou not know ; 
 
 11 How should thy vessel then be able to comprehend the 
 way of the Highest, and the world being now outwardly corrupt- 
 ed, to understand the corruption that is evident in my sight? 
 
 12 Then said I unto him, It were better that we were not at 
 all, than that we should live still in wickedness, and to suffer, 
 and not to know wherefore. 
 
 13 He answered me, and said, I went into a forest into a plain, 
 and the trees took counsel, 
 
 14 And said, Come, let us go and make war against the sea, 
 that it may depart away before us, and that we may make us 
 more woods. 
 
 15 The floods of the sea also in like manner took counsel, and 
 said, Come, let us go up and subdue the woods of the plain, that 
 there also we may make us another country. 
 
 16 The thought of the wood was in vain, for the fire came and 
 consumed it. 
 
 17 The thought of the floods of the sea came likewise to nought, 
 for the sand stood up and stopped them. 
 
 18 If thou wert judge now betwixt these two, whom wouldest 
 thou begin to justify? or whom wouldest thou condemn? 
 
 19 I answered and said, Verily it is a foolish thought that 
 they both have devised, for the ground is given unto the wood, 
 and the sea also hath his place to bear his floods. 
 
 20 Then answered he me, and said, Thou hast given a right 
 judgment, but why judgest thou not thyself also ? 
 
 21 For like as the ground is given unto the wood, and the sea 
 to his floods : even so they that dwell upon the earth may under- 
 stand nothing but that which is upon the earth ; and he that 
 dwelleth above the heavens may only understand the things that 
 are above the height of the heavens. 
 
 22 Then answered I and said, I beseech thee, Lord, let me 
 have understanding : 
 
 23 For it was not my mind to be curious of the high things, 
 but of such as pass by us daily, namely, wherefore Israel is given 
 up as a reproach to the heathen, and for what cause the people 
 whom thou hast loved is given over unto ungodly nations, and 
 why the law of our forefathers is brought to nought, and the 
 written covenants come to none effect, 
 
 24 And we pass away out of the world, as grasshoppers, and 
 our life is astonishment and fear, and we are not worthy to obtain 
 mercy. 
 
 25 What will he then do unto his name whereby we are called? 
 of these things have I asked. 
 
 26 Then answered he me, and said, The more thou searchest, 
 the more thou shalt marvel ; for the world hasteth fast to pass away, 
 
 27 And cannot comprehend the things that are promised to 
 the righteous in time to come : for this world is full of unright- 
 eousness and infirmities. 
 
 28 But as concerning the things whereof thou askest me, I 
 will tell thee : for the evil is sown, but the destruction thereof 
 jb not yet come. 
 
 29 If therefore that which is sown be not turned upside down, 
 and if the place where the evil is sown pass not away, then can- 
 not it come that is sown with good. 
 
 30 For the grain of evil seed hath been sown in the heart of 
 Adam from the beginning, and how much ungodliness hath it 
 brought up unto this time? and how much shall it yet bring 
 forth until the time of threshing come? 
 
 31 Ponder now by thyself, how great fruit of wickedness the 
 grain of evil seed hath brought forth. 
 
 32 And when the ears shall be cut down, which are withou 
 number, how great a floor shall they fill? 
 
 33 Then 1 answered and 6aid, How, and when shall these 
 things come to pass ? wherefore are our years few and evil ? 
 
 34 And he answered me, swying, Do not thou hasten above 
 the Most High : for thy haste is in vain to be above him, for 
 thou hast much exceeded. 
 
 35 Did not the souls also of the righteous as question of these 
 things in their chambers, saying, How long shall I hope on this 
 fashion? when cometh the fruit of the floor of our reward? 
 
 36 And unto these things Uriel the archangel gave them an- 
 swer, and said, Even when the number of seeds is filled in you : 
 for he hath weighed the world in the balance. 
 
 37 By measure hath he measured the times, and by number 
 hath he numbered the times; and he doth not move nor stir 
 them, until the said measure be fulfilled. 
 
 38 Then answered I and said, Lord that bearest rule, even 
 we are all full of impiety. 
 
 39 And for our sakes peradventure it is that the floors of the 
 righteous are not filled, because of the sins of them that dwell 
 upon the earth. 
 
 40 So he answered me, and said, Go thy way to a woman with 
 child, and ask of her when she hath fulfilled her nine months, if 
 her womb may keep the birth any longer within her. 
 
 41 Then said I, No, Lord, that can she not. And he 6aid 
 unto me, In the grave the chambers of souls are liko the womb 
 of a woman : 
 
 42 For like as a woman that travaileth maketh haste to escape 
 the necessity of the travail : even so do these places haste to de- 
 liver those things that are committed unto them. 
 
 43 From the beginning, look, what thou desirest to see, it 
 shall be showed thee. 
 
 44 Then answered I and said, If I have found favour in thy 
 sight, and if it be possible, and if I be meet therefore, 
 
 45 Show me then whether there be more to come than is past, 
 or more past than is to come. 
 
 46 What is past I know, but what is for to come I know not. 
 
 47 And he said unto me, Stand up upon the right side, and I 
 shall expound the similitude unto thee. 
 
 48 So I stood, and saw, and behold, an hot burning oven 
 passed before me : and it happened, that when the flame was 
 gone by I looked, and behold, the smoke remained still. 
 
 49 After this there passed by before me a watery cloud, and 
 sent down much rain with a storm ; and when the stormy rain 
 was past, the drops remained still. 
 
 50 Then said he unto me, Consider with thyself; as the rair 
 is more than the drops, and as the fire is greater than the smoke; 
 but the drops and the smoke remain behind : so the quantity 
 which is past did more exceed. 
 
 51 Then I prayed, and said, May I live, thinkest thou, until 
 that time ? or what shall happen in those days ? 
 
 52 He answered me, and said, As for the tokens whereof thou 
 askest me, I may tell thee of them in part: but as touching thy 
 life, I am not sent to show thee ; for I do not know it. 
 
 CHAPTER V. 
 
 1 The signs of the times to come. 23 He asketh why God choosing 
 but one people, did cast them off. 30 He is taught that God's judg- 
 ments are unsearchable, 46 and that God doeth not all at once. 
 
 NEVERTHELESS as concerning the tokens, behold, the days 
 shall cuuic, that they which dwell upon earth shall bo talen 
 
 iy 
 
Apocrypha- 
 
 II. ESDRAS. 
 
 Apocrypna. 
 
 in a great number, and the way of truth shall be hidden, and the 
 land shall be barren of faith. 
 
 2 But iniquity shall be increased above that which now thou 
 ncest, or that thou hast heard long ago. 
 
 3 And the land, that thou seest now to have root, shalt thou 
 see wasted suddenly. 
 
 4 But if the Most High grant thee to live, thou shalt see after 
 the third trumpet, that the sun shall suddenly shine again in the 
 light, and the moon thrice in the day : 
 
 5 And blood shall drop out of the wood, and the stone shall 
 give his voice, and the people shall be troubled : 
 
 6 And even he shall rule, whom they look not for that dwell 
 upon the earth, and the fowls shall take their flight away together. 
 
 7 And the Sodomitish sea shall cast out fish, and make a noise 
 in the night, which many have not known : but they shall all 
 near the voice thereof. 
 
 8 There shall be a confusion also in many places, and the fire 
 shall be oft sent out again, and the wild beasts shall change their 
 places, and menstruous women shall bring forth monsters : 
 
 9 And salt waters shall be found in the sweet, and all friends 
 6hall destroy one another ; then shall wit hide itself, and under- 
 standing withdraw itself into his secret chamber, 
 
 10 And shall be sought of many, and yet not be found : then 
 shall unrighteousness and incontinency be multiplied upon earth. 
 
 11 One land also shall ask another, and say, Is righteousness 
 that maketh a man righteous gone through thee ? and it shall 
 say, No. 
 
 12 At the same time shall men hope, but nothing obtain : 
 they shall labour, but their ways shall not prosper. 
 
 13 To show thee such tokens I have leave ; and if thou wilt 
 pray again, and weep as now, and fast seven days, thou shalt hear 
 yet greater things. 
 
 14 Then I awaked, and an extreme fearfulness went through 
 all my body, and my mind was troubled, so that it fainted. 
 
 15 So the angel that was come to talk with me, held me, com- 
 forted me, and set me up upon my feet. 
 
 16 And in the second night it came to pass, that Salathiel the 
 captain of the people came unto me, saying, Where hast thou 
 been ? and why is thy countenance so heavy ? 
 
 17 Knowest thou not that Israel is committed unto thee in 
 the land of their captivity 1 
 
 18 Up then, and eat bread, and forsake us not, as the shepherd 
 that leaveth his flock in the hands of cruel wolves. 
 
 19 Then said I unto him, Go thy ways from me, and come 
 not nigh me. And he heard what I said, and went from me. 
 
 20 And so I fasted seven days, mourning and weeping, like 
 as Uriel the angel commanded me. 
 
 21 And after seven days so it was, that the thoughts of my 
 heart were very grievous unto me again, 
 
 22 And my soul recovered the spirit of understanding, and I 
 began to talk with the Most High again, 
 
 23 And said, Lord that bearest rule, of every wood of the 
 earth, and of all the trees thereof, thou hast chosen thee one only 
 vine : 
 
 21 And of all lands of the whole world thou hast chosen thee 
 ne pit : and of all the flowers thereof one lily : 
 
 25 And of all the depths of the sea thou hast filled thee one" 
 river : and of all builded cities thou hast hallowed Siou unto 
 thyself: 
 
 26 And of all the fowls that are created thou hast named thee 
 one dove : and of all the cattle that are made thou hast provided 
 thee one sheep : 
 
 2 7 And among all the multitude of peoples thou hast gotten 
 thee one people : and unto this people, whom thou lovedst, thou 
 gavest a law that is approved of all. 
 
 28 And now, Lord, why hast thou given this one people 
 over unto many? and upon the one root hast thou prepared 
 others, and why hast thou scattered thy only one people among 
 many? 
 
 29 And they which did gainsay thy promises, and believed 
 hy covenants, have trodden them down. 
 
 14 
 
 30 If thou didst so much hate thy people, yet shouldest thou 
 punish them with thine own hands. 
 
 31 Now when I had spoken these words, the angel that came 
 to me the night afore was sent unto me, 
 
 32 And said unto me, Hear me, and I will instruct thse ; 
 hearken to the thing that I say, and I shall tell thee more. 
 
 33 And I said, Speak on, my Lord. Then said he unto mo, 
 Thou art sore troubled in mind for Israel's sake : lovest thou that 
 people better than he that made them ? 
 
 34 And I said, No, Lord : but of very grief have I spoken ', 
 for my reins pain me every houi, while I labour to comprehend 
 the way of the Most High, and to seek out part of his judgment. 
 
 35 And he said unto me, Thou canst not. And I said, 
 Wherefore, Lord ? whereunto was I born then ? or why was not 
 my mother's womb then my grave, that I might not have seen 
 the travail of Jacob, and the wearisome toil of the stock of Is- 
 rael ? 
 
 36 And he said unto me, Number me the things that are not 
 yet come, gather me together the drops that are scattered abroad, 
 make me the flowers green again that are withered, 
 
 37 Open me the places that are closed, and bring me forth 
 the winds that in them are shut up, show me the image of a 
 voice : and then I will declare to thee the thing that thou labour- 
 est to know. 
 
 38 And I said, Lord that bearest rule, who may know these 
 things, but he that hath not his dwelling with men ? 
 
 39 As for me, I am unwise : how may I then speak of these 
 things whereof thou askest me? 
 
 40 Then said he unto me, Like as thou canst do none of these 
 things that I have spoken of, even so canst thou not find out my 
 judgment, or in the end the love that I have promised unto my 
 people. 
 
 41 And I said, Behold, Lord, yet art thou nigh unto them 
 that be reserved till the end : and what shall they do that have 
 been before me, or we that be now, or they that shall come 
 after us? 
 
 42 And he said unto me, I will liken my judgment unto a 
 ring : like as there is no slackness of the last, even so there is 
 no swiftness of the first. 
 
 43 So I answered and said, Couldest thou not make, those that 
 have been made, and be now, and that are for to come, at once j 
 that thou mightest show thy judgment the sooner? 
 
 44 Then answered he me, and said, The creature may not 
 haste above the maker; neither may the world hold them at once 
 that shall be created therein. 
 
 45 And I said, As thou bast said unto thy servant, that thou 
 which givest life to all, hast given life at once to the creature that 
 thou hast created, and the creature bare it : even so it might now 
 also bear them that now be present at once. 
 
 46 And he said unto me, Ask the womb of a woman, and say 
 unto her, If thou bringest forth children, why dost thou it not 
 together, but one after another ? pray her therefore to bring forth 
 ten children at once. 
 
 47 And I said, She cannot: but must do it by distauce of 
 time. 
 
 48 Then said he unto me, Even so have I given the womb ol 
 the earth to those that be sown in it in their times. 
 
 49 For like as a young child may not bring forth the things 
 that belong to the aged, even so have I disposed the world which 
 I created. 
 
 50 And I asked, and said, Seeing thou hast now given in. 
 the way, I will proceed to speak before thee : for our mother, of 
 whom thou hast told me that she is young, draweth now nigh 
 unto age. 
 
 51 He answered me, and said, Ask a woman that beareth chil- 
 dren, and she shall tell thee. 
 
 52 Say unto her, Wherefore are not they whom thou hast now 
 brought forth, like those that were before but less of stature ? . 
 
 53 And she shall answer thee, they that be born iu the strength 
 of youth are of one fashion, and they that are born in the time 
 of age, when the womb faileth, axe otherwise. 
 
apocrypha. 
 
 chap, vi 
 
 Apocrypha. 
 
 54 Consider thou therefore also, how that ye are less of stature 
 than those that were before you. 
 
 55 And so are they that come after you less than ye, as the 
 creatures which now begin to be old, and have passed over the 
 strength of youth. 
 
 56 Then said I, Lord, I beseech thee, if I have found favour 
 in thy sight, show thy servant by whom thou visitest thy creature. 
 
 CHAPTER VI. 
 
 God's purpose is eternal. 8 The next world shall follow this imme- 
 diately. 13 What shall fall out at the last. 31 He is promised more 
 knowledge, 38 and reckoncth up the works of the creation, 57 and 
 complaineth that they have no part in the world for whom it was 
 wade. 
 
 AND he said unto me, In the beginning, when the earth was 
 made, before the borders of the world stood, or ever the 
 winds blew, 
 
 2 Before it thundered and lightened, or ever the foundations 
 of paradise were laid, 
 
 3 Beibre the fair flowers were seen, or ever the moveable pow- 
 ers were established, before the innumerable multitude of angels 
 were gathered together, 
 
 4 Or ever the heights of the air were lifted up, before the 
 measures of the firmament were named, or ever the chimneys in 
 Siou were hot, 
 
 5 And ere the present years were sought out, and or ever the 
 inventions of them that now sin were turned, before they were 
 6caled that have gathered faith for a treasure : 
 
 6 Then did I consider these things, and they all were made 
 through me alone, and through none other : by me also they shall 
 be ended, and by none other. 
 
 7 Then answered I and said, What shall be the parting asun- 
 der of the times : or when shall be the end of the first, and the 
 beginning of it that followeth ? 
 
 8 And he said unto me, From Abraham unto Isaac, when 
 Jacob and Esau were born of him, and Jacob's hand held first 
 the heel of Esau. 
 
 9 For Esau is the end of the world, and Jacob is the beginning 
 of it that followeth. « 
 
 10 The hand of man is betwixt the heel and the hand : other 
 question, Esdras, ask thou not. 
 
 11 ^[ I answered then and said, Lord that bearest rule, if 
 I have found favour in thy sight, 
 
 12 I beseech thee, show thy servant the end of thy tokens, 
 whereof thou showedst me part the last night. 
 
 13 So he answered and said unto me. Stand up upon thy feet, 
 and hear a mighty sounding voice. 
 
 14 And it shall be as it were a great motion ; but the place 
 where thou standest shall not be moved. 
 
 15 And therefore when it speaketh be not afraid : for the 
 word is of the end, and the foundation of the earth is understood. 
 
 16 And why? because the speech of these things trembleth 
 and is moved : for it knoweth that the end of these things must 
 be changed. 
 
 17 And it happened that when I had heard it I stood up upon 
 my feet, and hearkened, and behold, there was a voice that spake, 
 Bod the sound of it was like the sound of many waters. 
 
 18 And it said, Behold, the days come, that I will begin to 
 draw nigh, and to visit them that dwell upon the earth, 
 
 19 And will begin to make inquisition of them, what they be 
 that have hurt unjustly with their unrighteousness, and when the 
 affliction of Sion shall be fulfilled ; 
 
 20 And when the world, that shall begin to vanish away, shall 
 >e finished, then will I show these tokens.: the books shall be 
 opened before the firmament, and they shall see all together. 
 
 21 And the children of a year old shall speak with their voices, 
 the women with child shall bring forth untimely children of three 
 or four months old, and they shall live, and be raised up. 
 
 22 And suddenly shall the sown places appear unsown, the 
 full storehouses shall suddenly be found empty • 
 
 23 And the trumpet shall give a sound, which when ever} 
 man hearcth, they shall be suddenly afraid. 
 
 24 At that time shall friends fight one against another like 
 enemies, and the earth shall stand in fear with those that dwell 
 therein, the springs of the fountains shall stand still, and in three 
 hours they shall not run. 
 
 25 Whosoever remaineth from all these that I have told thee 
 shall escape, and see my salvation, and the end of your world. 
 
 26 And the men that are received shall see it, who have not 
 tasted death from their birth : and the heart of the inhabitanl 
 shall be changed, and turned into another meaning. 
 
 27 For evil shall be put out, and deceit shall be quenched. 
 
 28 As for faith it shall flourish, corruption shall be overcome, 
 and the truth, which hath been so long without fruit, shall be 
 declared. 
 
 29 And when he talked with me, behold, I looked by little 
 and little upon him before whom I stood. 
 
 30 And these words said he unto me ; I am come to show 
 thee the time of the night to come. 
 
 31 If thou wilt pray yet more, and fast seven days again, J 
 shall tell thee greater things by day than I have heard. 
 
 32 For thy voice is heard before the Most High: for tto 
 Mighty hath seen thy righteous dealing, he hath seen also thy 
 chastity, which thou hast had ever since thy youth. 
 
 33 And therefore hath he sent me to show thee all these things, 
 and to say unto thee, Be of good comfort, and fear not. 
 
 34 And hasten not with the times that are past, to think vain 
 things, that thou mayest not hasten from the latter times. 
 
 35 And it came to pass after this, that I wept again, and fast- 
 ed seven days in like manner, that 1 might fulfil the three weeks 
 which he told me. 
 
 36 And in the eighth night was my heart vexed within mo 
 again, and I began to speak before the Most High. 
 
 37 For my spirit was greatly set on fire, and my soul was in 
 distress. 
 
 38 And I said, Lord, thou spakest from the beginning of 
 the creation, even the first day, and saidst thus, Let heaven and 
 earth be made ; and thy word was a perfect work. 
 
 39 And then was the spirit, and darkness and silence were on 
 every side; the sound of man's voice was not yet formed. 
 
 40 Then commandedst thou a fair light to come forth of thy 
 treasures, that thy work might appear. 
 
 41 Upon the second day thou madest the spirit of the firma- 
 ment, and commandedst it to part asunder, and to make a 
 division betwixt the waters, that the one part might go up, and 
 the other remain beneath. 
 
 42 Upon the third day thou didst command that the waters 
 should be gathered in the seventh part of the earth : six parts 
 ha^t thou dried up, and kept them, to the intent that of these 
 some being planted of God, and tilled, might serve thee. 
 
 43 For as soon as thy word went forth, the work was made 
 
 44 For immediately there was great and innumerable fruit, 
 and many and diverse pleasures for the taste, and flowers of un- 
 changeable colour, and odours of wonderful smell : and this was 
 done the third day. 
 
 45 Upon the fourth day thou commandedst that the sun shouW 
 shine, and the moon give her light, and the stars shoull be i: 
 order : 
 
 16 And gavest them a charge to do service unto man that was 
 to be made. 
 
 47 Upon the fifth day thou saidst unto the seventh part, where 
 the waters were gathered, that it should bring forth living crea- 
 tures, fowls and fishes : and so it came to pass. 
 
 48 For the dumb water and without life, brought forth living 
 things at the commandment of God, that all people might praise 
 thy wondrous works. 
 
 49 Then didst thou ordain two living creatures, the one thou 
 calledst Enoch, and the other Leviathan ; 
 
 50 And didst separate the one from the other : for the seventh 
 part, namely, where the water was gathered together, might no* 
 hold them both. 
 
 16 
 
Apocrypha. 
 
 II. ESDRAS. 
 
 apocrypha 
 
 51 Unto Enoch thou gavest one part, which was dried up the 
 third day, that he should dwell in the same part, wherein are a 
 thousand hills : 
 
 52 But unto Leviathan thou gavest the seventh part, namely, 
 »he moist; and hast kept him to be devoured, of whom thou wilt, 
 and when. 
 
 53 Upon the sixth day thou gavest commandment unto the 
 earth, that before thee it should bring forth beasts, cattle, and 
 weeping things; 
 
 54 And after these, Adam also, whom thou madest lord of all 
 thy creatures : of him come we all, and the people also whom 
 thou hast chosen. 
 
 55 All this have I spoken before thee, Lord, because thou 
 madest the world for our sakes. 
 
 56 As for the other people which also come of Adam, thou 
 hast said that they are nothing, but be like unto spittle : and 
 hast likened the abundance of them unto a drop that falleth from 
 a vessel. 
 
 57 And now, Lord, behold, these heathen, which have ever 
 been reputed as nothing, have begun to be lords over us, and to 
 devour us. 
 
 58 But we thy people, whom thou hast called thy first-born, 
 thy only-begotten, aa.l thy fervent lover, are given into their 
 hands. 
 
 59 If the world now be made for our sakes, why do we not 
 possess an inheritance with the world ? how long shall this en- 
 dure ? 
 
 CHAPTER VII. 
 
 4 The way is narrow. 12 When it was made narrow. 28 All shall 
 die, and rise again. SiJ Christ shall sit in judgment. 46 God hath 
 not made paradise in vain : 62 He is merciful. 
 
 AND when I had made an end of speaking these words, there 
 was sent unto me the angel which had been sent unto me 
 the nights afore : 
 
 2 And he said unto me, Up, Esdras, and hear the words that 
 I am come to tell thee. 
 
 3 And I said, Speak on, my God. Then said he unto me, 
 The sea is set in a "ride place, that it might be deep and great. 
 
 4 But put the ca.je the entrance were narrow, and like a river : 
 
 5 Who then could go into the sea to look upon it, and to rule 
 it ? if he went not through the narrow, how could he come into 
 the broad ? 
 
 6 There is also another thing ; A city is builded, and set upon 
 a broad field, and is full of all good things : 
 
 7 The entrance thereof is narrow, and is set in a dangerous 
 place to fall, like as if there were a fire on the right hand, and on 
 the left a deep water : 
 
 8 And one only path between them both, even between tne 
 fire and the water, so small that there could but one man 'go 
 there at once. 
 
 9 If this city now were given to a man for an inheritance, if 
 he never shall pass the danger set before it, how shall he receive 
 this inheritance ? 
 
 10 And I said, It is so, Lord. Then said he unto me, Even 
 so also is Israel's portion. 
 
 11 Because for their sakes I made the world : and when Adam 
 transgressed my statute, then was decreed that now is done. 
 
 12 Then were the entrances of this world made narrow, full 
 of sorrow and travail : they are but few and evil, full of perils, 
 and very painful. 
 
 13 For the entrances of the elder world were wide and sure, 
 and brought immortal fruit. 
 
 14 If then they that live labour not to enter these strait and 
 vain things, they can never receive those that arc laid up for 
 them. 
 
 15 Now therefore why disquietest thou thyself, seeing thou 
 art but a corruptible man ? and why art thou moved, whereas 
 thou art but mortal ? 
 
 16 Why hast thou not considered in thy mind this thing that 
 is to come, rather than that which is present ' 
 
 16 
 
 17 Then answered I, and said, Lord that Dearest rule, thou 
 hast ordained in thy law, that the righteous should inherit these 
 things, but that the ungodly should perish. 
 
 18 Nevertheless, the righteous shall suffer strait things, and 
 hope for wide; for they that have done wickedly have suffered 
 the strait things, and yet shall not see the wide. 
 
 19 And he said unto me, There is no judge above God, and 
 none that hath understanding above the Highest. 
 
 20 For there be many that perish in this life, because they 
 despise the law of God that is set before them. 
 
 21 For God hath given strait commandment to such as came, 
 what they should do to live, even as they came, and what they 
 should observe to avoid punishment. 
 
 22 Nevertheless, they were not obedient unto him ; but spake 
 against him, and imagined vain things : 
 
 23 And deceived themselves by their wicked deeds; and said 
 of the Most High, that he is not; and knew not his ways: 
 
 24 But his law have they despised, and denied his covenant ; 
 in his statutes have they not been faithful, and have not per 
 formed his works. 
 
 25 And therefore, Esdras, for the empty are empty things, and 
 for the full are the full things. 
 
 26 Behold, the time shall come, that these tokens which I 
 have told thee shall come to pass, and the bride shall appear, and 
 she coming forth shall be seen, that now is withdrawn from the 
 earth. 
 
 27 And whosoever is delivered from the aforesaid evils shaL 
 see my wonders. 
 
 28 For my son Jesus shall be revealed with those that be with 
 him, and they that remain shall rejoice within four hundred years. 
 
 29 After these years shall my son Christ die, and all men that 
 have life. 
 
 30 And the world shall be turned into the old silence seven 
 days, like as in the former judgments : so that no man shall re- 
 
 main. 
 
 31 And after seven days, the world, that yet awaketh not, shall 
 be raised up, and that shall die that is corrupt. 
 
 32 And the earth shall restore those that are asleep in her, 
 and so shall the dust those that dwell in silence, and the secret 
 places shall deliver those souls that were committed unto them 
 
 33 And the Most High shall appear upon the seat of judg- 
 ment, and misery shall pass away, and the long-suffering shall 
 have an end. 
 
 34 But judgment only shall remain, truth shall stand, and 
 faith shall wax strong : 
 
 35 And the work shall follow, and the reward shall be showed, 
 and the good deeds shall be of force, and wicked deeds shall bear 
 no rule. 
 
 36 Then said I, Abraham prayed first for the Sodomites, and 
 Moses for the fathers that sinned in the wilderness : 
 
 37 And Jesus after him for Israel in the time of Achan : 
 
 38 And Samuel and David for the destruction : and Solomon 
 for them that should come to the sanctuary : 
 
 39 And Helias for those that received rain ; and for the dead, 
 that he might live : 
 
 40 And Ezechias for the people in the time of Sennacherib . 
 and many for many. 
 
 41 Even so now, seeing corruption is grown up, and wicked- 
 ness increased, and the righteous have prayed for the ungodly : 
 wherefore shall it not be so now also ? 
 
 42 He answered me, and said, This present life is not the end 
 where much glory doth abide ; therefore have they prayed for 
 the weak. 
 
 43 But the day of doom shall be the end of this time, and the 
 beginning of the immortality for to come, wnerein corruption is 
 past, 
 
 44 Intemperance is at an end, infidelity is cut off, righteous- 
 ness is grown, and truth is sprung up, 
 
 45 Then shall no man be able to save him that is destroyed, 
 nor to oppress him that hath gotten the victory. 
 
 46 I answered then and t,aid, This is my first and last saying 
 
Apocrypha. 
 
 chap. viii. 
 
 Apocryno*.. 
 
 that it had been better not to have given the earth unto Adam: 
 or else, when it was given him, to have restrained him from 
 sinning. 
 
 47 For what profit is it for men now in this pres-ent time to 
 live in heaviness, and after death to look for punishment? 
 
 48 thou Adam, what hast thou done? for though it was 
 thou that sinned, thou art not fallen alone, but we all that come 
 of thee. 
 
 49 For what profit is it unto us, if there be promised us an 
 immortal time, whereas we have done the works that bring death? 
 
 50 And that there is promised us an everlasting hope, whereas 
 ourselves being most wicked are made vain ? 
 
 51 And that there are laid up for us dwellings of health and 
 safety, whereas we have lived wickedly ? 
 
 52 And that the glory of the Most High is kept to defend 
 them which have led a wary life, whereas we have walked in the 
 most wicked ways of all ? 
 
 53 And that there should be showed a paradise, whose fruit 
 endureth for ever, wherein is security and medicine, since we 
 shall not enter into it? 
 
 54 (For we have walked in unpleasant places.) 
 
 55 And that the faces of them which have used abstinence 
 shall shine above the stars, whereas our faces shall be blacker 
 than darkness ? 
 
 56 For while we lived and committed iniquity, we considered 
 not that we should begin to suffer for it after death. 
 
 57 Then answered he me, and said, This is the condition of 
 the battle, which man that is born upon the earth shall fight : 
 
 58 That, if he be overcome, he shall suffer as thou hast said : 
 but if he get the victory, he shall receive the thing that I say. 
 
 59 For this is the life whereof Moses spake unto the people 
 while he lived, saying, Choose thee life, that thou mayest live. 
 
 60 Nevertheless, they believed not him, nor yet the prophets 
 after him, no, nor me which have spoken unto them, 
 
 61 That there should not be such heaviness in their destruc- 
 tion, as shall be joy over them that are persuaded to salvation 
 
 62 I answered then, and said, I know, Lord, that the Most 
 High is called merciful, in that he hath mercy upon them which 
 are not yet come into the world, 
 
 63 And upon those also that turn to his law; 
 
 64 And that he is patient, and long suffereth those that have 
 Binned, as his creatures; 
 
 65 And that he is bountiful, for he is ready to give where it 
 needeth; 
 
 66 And that he is of great mercy, for he multiplieth more and 
 more mercies to them that are present, and that are past, and also 
 to them which are to come. 
 
 67 For if he shall not multiply his mercies, the world would 
 not continue with them that inherit therein. 
 
 68 And he pardoneth ; for if he did not so of his goodness, 
 that they which have committed iniquities might be eased of 
 them, the ten thousandth part of men should not remain living. 
 
 69 And being judge, if he should not forgive them that are 
 cured with his word, and put out the multitude of contentions, 
 
 70 There should be very few left peradventure in an innumer- 
 able multitude. 
 
 CHAPTER VIII. 
 
 1 Many created, but few saved. 6 He asketh why God destroyeth his 
 own work, 26 and prayeth God to look upon the people which only 
 serve him. 41 God answereth, that all seed cometh not to good, 
 52 and that glory is prepared for him, and such like. 
 
 A ND he answered me, saying, The Most High hath made this 
 •^i- world for many, but the world to come for few. 
 
 2 I will tell thee a similitude, Esdras; As when thou askest 
 the earth, it shall say unto thee, that it giveth much mould where- 
 of earthen vessels are made, but little dust that gold cometh of: 
 aven so is the course of this present world. 
 
 3 There be many created, but few shall be saved. 
 
 4 So answered I and said, Swallow then down, my soul, 
 ^mderstauding, and devour wisdom, 
 
 2 C 
 
 5 For thou hast agreed to give car, and art wil/ir.g ec prophesy : 
 or thou hast no longer space than only to live. 
 
 6 O Lord, if thou suffer not thy servant, that we may pray 
 before thee, and thou give us seed unto our heart, and culture to 
 our understanding, that there may come fruit of it; how shall 
 each man live that is corrupt, who beareth the place of a man ? 
 
 7 For thou art alone, and we all one workmanship of thiuo 
 hands, like as thou hast said. 
 
 8 For when the body is fashioned now in the mother's womb, 
 and thou givest it members, thy creature is preserved in fire and 
 water, and nine months doth thy workmanship endure thy crea- 
 ture which is created in her. 
 
 9 But that which keepeth and is kept shall both be preserved : 
 and when the time cometh, the womb preserved dclivereth up 
 the things that grew in it. 
 
 10 For thou hast commanded out of the parts of the body that 
 is to say, out of the breasts, milk to be given, which is the fruit 
 of the breasts. 
 
 11 That the thing which is fashioned may be nourished for a 
 time, till thou disposest it to thy mercy. 
 
 12 Thou broughtest it up with thy righteousness, and nurtur- 
 edst it in thy law, and reformedst it with thy judgment. 
 
 13 And thou shalt mortify it as thy creature, and quicken it 
 as thy work. 
 
 14 If therefore thou shalt destroy him which with so great 
 labour was fashioned, it is an easy thing to be ordained by thy 
 commandment, that the thing which was made might be pre- 
 served. 
 
 15 Now therefore, Lord, I will speak ; touching man in gene- 
 ral, thou knowest best ; but touching thy people, for whose sake 
 I am sorry ; 
 
 16 And for thine inheritance, for whose cause I mourn ; and 
 for Israel, for whom I am heavy ; and for Jacob, for whose sake 
 I am troubled ; 
 
 17 Therefore will I begin to pray before thee for myself and 
 for them : for I see the falls of us that dwell in the land. 
 
 18 But I have heard the swiftness of the judge which is to 
 come. 
 
 19 Therefore hear my voice, and understand my words, and I 
 shall speak before thee. This is the beginning of the words of 
 Esdras, before he was taken up : and I said, 
 
 20 O Lord, thou that dwellest in everlastingness, which be- 
 holdest from above things in the heaven and in the air ; 
 
 21 Whose throne is inestimable; whose glory may not be 
 comprehended ; before whom the hosts of angela stand with 
 trembling, 
 
 22 Whose service is conversant in wind and fire ; whose word 
 is true, and sayings constant; whose commandment is strong, and 
 ordinance fearful ; 
 
 23 Whose look drieth up the depths, .aid indignation maketh 
 the mountains to melt away; which thd truth witnesseth : 
 
 24 O hear the prayer of thy servant, and give ear to the pe- 
 tition of thy creature. 
 
 25 For while I live I will speak, and so long as I have under 
 standing I will answer. 
 
 26 O look not upon the sins of thy people ; but on them which 
 serve thee in truth. 
 
 27 Regard not the wicked inventions of the heathen, but the 
 desire of those that keep thy testimonies in afflictions. 
 
 28 Think not upon those that have walked feignedly before 
 thee : but remember them, which according to thy will have 
 known thy fear. 
 
 29 Let it not be thy will to destroy them which have lived 
 like beasts ; but to look upon them that have clearly taught thy 
 law. 
 
 30 Take thou no indignation at them which are deemed worse 
 than beasts; but love them that always put their trust in thy 
 righteousness and glory, 
 
 31 For we and our fathers do languish of such diseases : but 
 because of us sinners thou shalt be called merciful. 
 
 32 For if thou hast a desire to have mercy upon us, thou 
 
 n 
 
Apocrypha. 
 
 II. ESDRAS. 
 
 Apocrypha 
 
 ghalt be called merciful, to us namely, that have no works of 
 righteousness. 
 
 33 For the just, which have many good works laid up with 
 thee, shall out of their own deeds receive reward. 
 
 34 For what is man, that thou shouldcst take displeasure at 
 J>im ? or what is a corruptible generatiou, that thou shouldest be 
 so bitter towards it? 
 
 35 For in truth there is no man among them that be born, 
 but he hath dealt wickedly; and among the faithful there is none 
 Which hath not done amiss. 
 
 36 For in this, Lord, thy righteousness and thy goodness 
 ohall be declared, if thou be merciful unto them which have not 
 the confidence of good works. 
 
 37 Then answered he me, and said, Some things bast thou 
 opoken aright, and according unto thy words it shall be. 
 
 38 For indeed I will not think on the disposition of them 
 which have sinned before death, before judgment, before destruc- 
 tion : 
 
 39 But I will rejoice over the disposition of the righteous, and 
 I will remember also their pilgrimage, and the salvation, and the 
 reward, that they shall have. 
 
 40 Like as I have spoken now, so shall it come to pass. 
 
 41 For as the husbandman sowetb much seed upon the ground, 
 and planteth many trees, and yet the thing that is sown good in 
 his season cometh not up, neither doth all that is planted take 
 root: even so is it of them that are sown in the world; they 
 shall not all be saved. 
 
 42 I answered then and said, If I have found grace, let me 
 speak. 
 
 43 Like as the husbandman's seed perisheth, if it come not 
 up, and receive not thy rain in due season : or if there come too 
 much rain, and corrupt it; 
 
 44 Even so perisheth man also, which is formed with thy 
 hands, and is called thine own image, because thou art like unto 
 him, for whose sake thou hast made all things, and likened him 
 unto the husbandman's seed. 
 
 45 Be not wroth with us, but spare thy people, and have mercy 
 upon thine own inheritance : for thou art merciful unto thy crea- 
 ture. 
 
 46 Then answered he me, and said, Things present are for the 
 present, and things to come for such as be to come.. 
 
 47 For thou comest far short that thou shouldest be able to 
 love my creature more than I : but I have oft-times drawn nigh 
 unto thee, and unto it, but never to the unrighteous. 
 
 4 8 In this also thou art marvellous before the Most High : 
 
 49 In that thou hast humbled thyself, as it becometh thee, 
 and hast not judged thyself worthy to be much glorified among 
 the righteous. 
 
 50 For many great miseries shall be done to them that in the 
 latter time shall dwell in the world, because they have walked in 
 great pride. 
 
 51 But understand thou for thyself, and seek out the glory for 
 such as be like thee. 
 
 52 For unto you is paradise opened, the tree of life is planted, 
 he time to come is prepared, plenteousness is made ready, a city 
 
 bui'.ded, and rest is allowed, yea, perfect goodness and wisdom. 
 
 53 The root of evil is sealed up from you, weakness and the 
 moth is hid from you, and corruption is. fled into hell to be for- 
 gotten ; 
 
 54 Sorrows are passed, and in the end is showed the treasure 
 of immortality. 
 
 55 And therefore ask thou no more questions concerning the 
 multitude of them that perish. 
 
 56 For when they had taken liberty, they despised the Most 
 High, thought scorn of his law, and forsook his ways. 
 
 57 Moreover they have trodden down his righteous, 
 
 58 And said in their heart, that there is no God ; yea, and 
 that knowing they must die. 
 
 59 For as the things aforesaid shall receive you, so thirst and 
 pain are prepared for them : for it was not his will that mea 
 should come to nought. 
 
 18 
 
 60 But they which be created have defiled the name of him 
 that made them, and were unthankful unto him which prepared 
 life for tbem. 
 
 61 And therefore is my judgment now at hand. 
 
 62 These things have I not showed unto all men, but unto 
 thee, and a few like thee. Then answered I and said, 
 
 63 Behold, Lord, now hast thou showed me the multitude 
 of the wonders, whieh thou wilt begin to do in the last times : 
 but at what time, thou hast not showed me. 
 
 CHAPTER IX. 
 
 7 Who shall be saved, and who not. 19 All the world is now corrupt- 
 ed; 22 yet God doth save a few. 33 He complaineth that those 
 perish which keep God's law; 38 and seeth a woman lamenting in a 
 field. 
 
 HE answered me then, and said, Measure thou the time dili- 
 gently in itself; and when thou seest part of the signs past, 
 which I have told thee before, 
 
 2 Then shalt thou understand, that it is the very same time, 
 wherein the Highest will begin to visit the world which he made 
 
 3 Therefore when there shall be seen earthquakes and uproars 
 of the people in the world : 
 
 4 Then shalt thou well understand, that the Most High spake 
 of those things from the days that were before thee, even from 
 the beginning. 
 
 5 For like as all that is made in the world hath a beginning 
 and an end, and the end is manifest : 
 
 6 Even so the times also of the Highest have plain beginnings 
 in wonders and powerful works, and endings in effects and signs. 
 
 7 And every one that shall be saved, and shall be able to es- 
 cape by his works, and by faith, whereby ye have believed, 
 
 8 Shall be preserved from the said perils, and shall see my 
 salvation in my land, and within my borders : for I have sancti- 
 fied them for me from the beginning. 
 
 9 Then shall they be in pitiful case, which now have abused 
 my ways : and they that have cast them away despitefully shall 
 dwell in torments. 
 
 10 For such as in their life have received benefits, and have 
 not known me ; 
 
 11 And they that have loathed my law, while they had yet 
 liberty, and when as yet place of repentance was open unto them, 
 understood not, but despised it; 
 
 12 The same must know it after death by pain. 
 
 13 And therefore be thou not curious how the ungodly shall 
 be punished, and when : but inquire how the righteous shall be 
 saved, whose the world is, and for whom the world is created. 
 
 14 Then answered I, and said, 
 
 15 I have said before, and now do speak, and will speak it 
 also hereafter, that there be many more of them whieh perish, 
 than of tbem which shall be saved : 
 
 16 Like as a wave is greater than a drop. 
 
 17 And he answered me, saying, Like as the field is, so is 
 also the seed; as the flowers be, such are the colours also; such 
 as the workman is, such also is the work; and as the husband- 
 man is himself, so is his husbandry also : for it was the time ;> 
 the world. 
 
 18 And now when I prepared the world which was not yei 
 made, even for them to dwell in that now live, no man spakd 
 against me. 
 
 19 For then every one obeyed : but now the manners of them 
 which are created in this world that is made are corrupted by a 
 perpetual seed, and by a law which is unsearchable rid themselves. 
 
 20 So I considered the world, and behold, there was peril be- 
 cause of the devices that were come into it. 
 
 21 And I saw, and spared it greatly, and have kept me a grape 
 of the cluster, and a plant of a great people. 
 
 22 Let the multitude perish then, which was born in vain; 
 and let my grape be kept, and my plant ; for with great labour 
 have I made it perfect. 
 
 23 Nevertheless, if thou wilt cease yet seven days more (but 
 thou shalt not fast in them,

 24 But go into a field of flowers, where no house is buildcd, 
 find eat only the flowers of the field ; taste no flesh, drink no 
 wine, but cat flowers only;) 
 
 25 And pray unto the Highest continually, then will I come 
 and talk with thee. 
 
 26 So I went my way into the field which is called Ardath, 
 like as he commanded me ; and there I sat among the flowers, 
 And did eat of the herbs of the field, and the meat of the same 
 satisfied me. 
 
 27 After seven days I sat upon the grass, and my heart was 
 rexed within me, like as before : 
 
 28 And I opened my mouth, and began to talk before the 
 Most High, and said, 
 
 29 Lord, thou that showest thyself unto us, thou wast show- 
 ed unto our fathers in the wilderness, in a place where no man 
 Ireadeth, in a barren place, when they came out of Egypt. 
 
 30 And thou spakest, saying, Hear me, Israel ; and mark 
 my words, thou seed of Jacob. 
 
 31 For behold, I sow my law in you, and it shall bring fruit 
 in you, and ye shall be honoured in it for ever. 
 
 32 But our fathers, which received the law, kept it not, and 
 jbserved not thy ordinances : and though the fruit of thy law 
 did not perish, neither could it, for it was thine ; 
 
 83 Yet they that received it perished, because they kept not 
 the thing that was sown in them. 
 
 34 And lo, it is a custom, when the ground hath received 
 seed, or the sea a ship, or any vessel meat or drink, that, that 
 being perished wherein it was sown or cast into, 
 
 35 That thing also which was sown, or cast therein, or receiv- 
 ed, doth perish, and remaineth not with us : but with us it hath 
 not happened so. 
 
 36 For we that have received the law perish by sin, and our 
 heart also which receiveth it. 
 
 37 Notwithstanding, the law perisheth not, but remaineth in 
 his force. 
 
 38 And when I spake these things in my heart, I looked back 
 with mine eyes, and upon the right side I saw a woman, and be- 
 hold, she mourned and wept with a loud voice, and was much 
 grieved in heart, and her clothes were rent, and she had ashes 
 upon her head. 
 
 39 Then let I my thoughts go that I was in, and turned me 
 unto her, 
 
 40 And said unto her, Wherefore weepest thou ? why art thou 
 eo grieved in thy mind ? 
 
 41 And she said unto me, Sir, let me alone, that I may bewail 
 myself, and add unto my sorrow, for I am sore vexed in my 
 mind, and brought very low. 
 
 42 And I said unto her, What aileth thee ? tell me. 
 
 43 She said unto me, I thy servant have been barren, and had 
 no child, though I had a husband thirty years. 
 
 44 And those thirty years I did nothing else day and night, 
 and every hour, but make my prayer to the Highest. 
 
 45 After thirty years God heard me, thine handmaid, looked 
 upon my misery, considered my trouble, and gave me a son : and 
 I was very glad of him, so was my husband also, and all my 
 neighbours : and we gave great honor unto the Almighty. 
 
 46 And I nourished him with great travail. 
 
 47 So when he grew up, and came to the time that he should 
 have a wife, I made a feast. 
 
 CHAPTER X. 
 
 6 He comforteth the woman in the field. 27 She vanisheth away, and 
 a city appeareth in her place. 40 The angel declareth these visions 
 in the field. 
 
 AND it so came to pass, that when my son was entered into 
 his wedding chamber, he fell down, and died. 
 
 2 Then we all overthrew the lights, and all my neighbours 
 rose up to comfort me : so I took my rest unto the second day 
 at night 
 
 3 And it came to pass, when they had all left oflf to comfort 
 
 me, to the end I might be quiet; then rose I up by night, and 
 fled, and. came hither into this field, as thou bci - 
 
 4 And I do now purpose not to return into the city, but here 
 to stay, and neither to eat nor drink, but continually to mourn 
 and to fast until I die. 
 
 5 Then left I the meditations wherein I was, and spake to hr-r 
 in anger, saying, 
 
 6 Thou foolish woman above all other, seest thou rot our 
 mourning, and what happeneth unto us? 
 
 7 How that Sion our mother is full of all heaviness, and much 
 humbled, mourning very sore ? 
 
 8 And now, seeing we all mourn and are sad, for we are all 
 in heaviness, art thou grieved for one son ? 
 
 9 For ask the earth, and she shall tell thee, that it is she which 
 ought to mourn for the fall of so many that grow upon her. 
 
 10 For out of her came all at the first, aud out of her shall al' 
 others come, and behold, they walk almost all into destruction, 
 and a multitude of them is utterly rooted out. 
 
 11 Who then should make more mourning than she that hath 
 lost so great a multitude ; and not thou, which art sorry but for 
 one? 
 
 12 But if thou jayest unto me, My lamentation is not like the 
 earth's, because I have lost the fruit of my womb, which I brought 
 forth with pains, and bare with sorrows ; 
 
 13 But the earth not so: for the multitude present in it, ac- 
 cording to the course of the earth, is gone, as it came : 
 
 14 Then say I unto thee, Like as thou hast brought forth with 
 labour ; even so the earth also hath given her fruit, namely, man, 
 ever since the beginning unto him that made her. 
 
 15 Now therefore keep thy sorrow to thyself, and bear with a 
 good courage that which hath befallen thee. 
 
 16 For if thou shalt acknowledge the determination of God to 
 be just, thou shalt both receive thy son in time, and shalt be 
 commended among women. 
 
 17 Go thy way then into the city to thine husband. 
 
 18 And she said unto me, That will I not do; I will not go 
 into the city, but here will I die. 
 
 19 So I proceeeded to speak further unto her, and said, 
 
 20 Do not so, but be counselled by me : for how many are 
 the adversities of Sion ? be comforted in regard of the sorrow of 
 Jerusalem. 
 
 21 For thou seest that our sanctuary is laid waste, our altar 
 broken down, our temple destroyed ; 
 
 22 Our psaltery is laid on the ground, our song is put to si 
 lence, our rejoicing is at an end, the light of our candlestick is 
 put out, the ark of our covenant is spoiled, our holy things are 
 defiled, and the name that is called upon us is almost profaned : 
 our children are put to shame, our priests are burnt, our Levites 
 are gone into captivity, our virgins are defiled, and our wives rav- 
 ished ; our righteous men carried away, our little ones destroyed, 
 our young men are brought in bondage, and our strong men are 
 become weak; 
 
 23 And, which is the greatest of all, the seal of Sion hath 
 now lost her honour; for she is delivered into the hands of them 
 that hate us. 
 
 24 And therefore shake oflf thy great heaviness, and put away 
 the multitude of sorrows, that the Mighty may be merciful unto 
 thee again, and the Highest shall give thee rest and ease from 
 thy labour. 
 
 25 And it came to pass, while I was talking with her, behold, 
 her face upon a sudden shined exceedingly, and her countenance 
 glistered, so that I was afraid of her, and mused what it might be 
 
 26 And behold, suddenly she made a great cry, very fearful : 
 so that the earth shook at the noise of the woman. 
 
 27 And I looked, and behold, the woman appeared unto me 
 no more, but there was a city builded, aud a large place showed 
 itself from the foundations : then was I afraid, and cried with a 
 loud voice, and said, 
 
 28 Where is Uriel the angel, who came unto me at the first l 
 for he hath caused me to fall into many trances, and mine end i 
 turned into corruption, and my prayer to rebuke. 
 
 19 
 
Apocrypha. 
 
 II. ESDKAS. 
 
 Apocrypha. 
 
 29 And as I was speaking these words, behold, he came unto 
 me, and looked upon me. 
 
 30 And lo, I lay as one that had been dead, and mine undcr- 
 -tanding was taken from me : and he took me by the right hand, 
 and comforted me, and set me upon my feet, and said unto me, 
 
 31 What aileth thee ? and why art thou so disquieted ? and why 
 is thine understanding troubled, and the thoughts of thine heart? 
 
 32 And I said, Because thou hast forsaken me, and yet I did 
 according to thy words, and I went into the field, and lo, I have 
 «een, and yet see, that I am not able to express. 
 
 33 And he said unto me, Stand up manfully, and I will ad- 
 vise thee. 
 
 lit Then said I, Speak on, my lord, in me; only forsake me 
 not, lest I die frustrate of my hope. 
 
 35 For I have seen that I knew not, and hear that I do not 
 know. 
 
 36 Or is my sense deceived, or my soul in a dream ? 
 
 37 Now therefore, I beseech thee, that thou wilt show thy 
 eervant of this vision. 
 
 38 He answered me then, and said, Hear me, and I shall in- 
 form thee, and tell thee wherefore thou art afraid : for the High- 
 est will reveal many secret things unto thee. 
 
 39 He hath seen that thy way is right : for that thou sorrowest 
 continually for thy people, and makest great lamentation for Sion. 
 
 40 This therefore is the meaning of the vision which thou 
 lately sawest • 
 
 41 Thou sawest a woman mourning, and thou begannest to 
 comfort her : 
 
 42 But now seest thou the likeness of the woman no more, 
 but there appeared unto thee a city builcled. 
 
 43 And whereas she told thee of the death of her son, this is 
 the solution : 
 
 44 This woman, whom thou sawest, is Sion : and whereas she 
 «aid unto thee, even she whom thou seest as a city builded, 
 
 45 Whereas, / say, she said unto thee, that she hath been 
 thirty years barren : those are the thirty years wherein there was 
 no offering made in her. 
 
 46 But after thirty years Solomon builded the city, and offered 
 offerings : and then bare the barren son. 
 
 47 And whereas she told thee that she nourished him with 
 labour : that was the dwelling in Jerusalem. 
 
 48 But whereas she said unto thee, That my son coming into 
 his marriage-chamber happened to have a fall, and died : this 
 was the destruction that came to Jerusalem. 
 
 49 And behold, thou sawest her likeness, and because she 
 mourned for her son, thou begannest to comfort her : and of 
 these things which have chanced, these are to be opened unto 
 thee. 
 
 50 For now the Most High seeth that thou art grieved un- 
 feignedly, and sufferest from thy whole heart for her, so hath he 
 showed thee the brightness of her glory, and the comeliness of 
 her beauty : 
 
 51 And therefore I bade thee remain in the field where no 
 house was builded : 
 
 52 For I knew that the Highest would show this unto thee. 
 
 53 Therefore I commanded thee to go into the field, where no 
 oundation of any building was. 
 
 54 For in the place wherein the Highest beginneth to show 
 his city, there can no man's building be able to stand. 
 
 55 And therefore fear not, let not thine heart be affrighted, 
 but go thy way in, and see the beauty and greatness of the build- 
 ing, as much as thine eyes be able to see : 
 
 56 And then shalt thou hear as much as thine ears may com- 
 prehend. 
 
 57 For thou art blessed above many other, and art called vith 
 the Highest; and so are but few. 
 
 58 But to-morrow at night thou shalt remain here; 
 
 59 And so shall the Highest show thee visions of the hign 
 things, which the Most High will do unto them that dwell upot, 
 inrth in the last days. So I slept that night and another, like 
 as he commanded me.

 . CHAPTER XL 
 
 1 He seeth in his dream an eagle coming out of the Bea, 87 and a lion 
 cut of a wood talking to the eagle. 
 
 r PHEN saw I a dream, and behold, there came up from the sea 
 J- an eagle, which had twelve feathered wings, and three heads. 
 
 2 And I saw, and behold, she spread her wings over all the 
 earth, and all the winds of the air blew on her, and were gather 
 ed together. 
 
 3 And I beheld, and out of her feathers there grew other con 
 trary feathers; and they became little feathers and small. 
 
 4 But her heads were at rest : the head in the midst w la 
 greater than the other, yet rested it with the residue. 
 
 5 Moreover I beheld, and lo, the eagle flew with her feathers, 
 and reigned upon earth, and over them that dwelt therein. 
 
 6 And I saw that all things under heaven were subject unto 
 her, and no man spake against her, no, not one creature upon 
 earth. 
 
 7 And I beheld, and lo, the eagle rose upon her talons, and 
 spake to her feathers, saying, 
 
 8 Watch not all at once : sleep every one in his own place, 
 and watch by course : 
 
 9 But let the heads be preserved for the last. 
 
 10 And I beheld, and lo, the voice went not out of her heads., 
 but from the midst of her body. 
 
 11 And I numbered her contrary feathers, and behold, there 
 were eight of them. 
 
 12 And I looked, and behold, on the right side there arose 
 one feather, and reigned over all the earth ; 
 
 13 And so it was, that when it reigned, the end of it came, 
 and the place thereof appeared no more : so the nest following 
 stood up, and reigned, and had a great time : 
 
 14 And it happened, that when it reigned, the end of it came 
 also, like as the first, so that it appeared no more. 
 
 15 Then came there a voice unto it, and said, 
 
 16 Hear thou that hast borne rule over the earth so long : this 
 I say unto thee, before thou beginnest to appear no more, 
 
 17 There shall none after thee attain unto thy time, neither 
 unto the half thereof. 
 
 18 Then arose the third, and reigned as the other before, and 
 appeared no more also. 
 
 19 So went it with all the residue one after another, as that 
 every one reigned, and then appeared no more. 
 
 20 Then I beheld, and lo, in process of time the feathers that 
 followed stood up upon the right side, that they might rule also ; 
 and some of them ruled, but within a while they appeared no 
 more : 
 
 21 For some of them were set up, but ruled not. 
 
 22 After this I looked, and behold, the twelve feathers ap- 
 peared no more, nor the two little feathers : 
 
 23 And there was no more upon the eagle's body, but three 
 heads that rested, and six little wings. 
 
 24 Then saw I also that two little feathers divided themselves 
 from the six, and remained under the head that was upon the 
 right side : for the four continued in their place. 
 
 25 And I beheld, and lo, the feathers that were under th<> 
 wing thought to set up themselves, and to have the rule. 
 
 26 And I beheld, and lo, there was one set up, but shortly it 
 appeared no more. 
 
 27 And the second was sooner away than the first. 
 
 28 And I beheld, and lo, the two that remained thought also 
 in themselves to reign : 
 
 29 And when they so thought, behold, there awaked one of 
 the heads that were at rest, namely, it that was in the midst; 
 for that was greater than the two other heads. 
 
 30 And then I saw that the two other heads were joined wiiu 
 it. 
 
 31 And behold, the head was turned with them that were with 
 it, and did eat up the two feathers under the wing that would 
 have reigned. 
 
 32 But this head put the whole earth in fear, and bare rate 
 in it over all those that dwelt upon the earth with much opyre* 
 
ipocrypos. 
 
 CHAP. XII

 sion ; and it had the governance of the world more than all the 
 wings that had been. 
 
 33 And after this T beheld, and lo, the head that was in the 
 midst suddenly appeared no more, like as the wings. 
 
 3-1 But there remained the two heads, which also in like sort 
 ruled upon the earth, and over those that dwelt therein. 
 
 35 And I beheld, and lo, the head upon the right side de- 
 voured it that was upon the left side. 
 
 36 Then I heard a voice, which said unto ine, Look before 
 ti.ee, and consider the thing that thou seest. 
 
 37 And I beheld, and lo as it were a roaring lion chased out 
 of the wood : and I saw that he sent out a man's voice unto the 
 eagle, and said, 
 
 38 Hear thou, I will talk with thee, and the Highest shall 
 pay unto thee, 
 
 39 Art not thou it that remainest of the four beasts, whom I 
 made to reign in my world, that the end of their times might 
 come through them? 
 
 40 And the fourth came, and overcame all the beasts that 
 were past, and had power over the world with great fearfulness, 
 and over the whole compass of the earth with much wicked op- 
 pression ; and so long time dwelt he upon the earth with deceit. 
 
 41 For the earth hast thou not judged with truth. 
 
 42 For thou hast afflicted the meek, thou hast hurt the peace- 
 able, thou hast loved liars, and destroyed the dwellings of them 
 that brought forth fruit, and hast cast down the walls of such 
 as did thee no harm. 
 
 43 Therefore is thy wrongful dealing come up unto the High- 
 est, and thy pride unto the Mighty. 
 
 44 The Highest also hath looked upon the proud times, and 
 behold, they are ended, and his abominations are fulfilled. 
 
 t5 And therefore appear no more, thou eagle, nor thy horrible 
 wings, nor thy wicked feathers, nor thy malicious heads, nor thy 
 hurtful claws, nor all thy vain body : 
 
 46 That all the earth may be refreshed, and may return, being 
 delivered from thy violence, and that she may hope for the 
 judgment and mercy of him that made her. 
 
 CHAPTER XTI. 
 
 1 The eagle which he saw is destroyed. 10 The vision is interpreted. 
 37 He is bid to write his visions, 39 and to fast, that he may see 
 more. 46 He doth comfort those that were grieved for his absence. 
 
 AND it came to pass, while the lion spake these words unto 
 the eagle, I saw, 
 
 2 And behold, the head that remained, and the four wings 
 appeared no more, and the two went unto it, and set themselves 
 t.p to reign, and their kingdom was small and full of uproar. 
 
 3 And I saw, and behold, they appeared no more, and the 
 whole body of the eagle was burnt, so that the earth was in great 
 fear : then awaked I out of the trouble and trance of my mind, 
 and from great fear, and said unto my spirit, 
 
 4 Lo, this hast thou done unto me, in that thou searchest out 
 the ways of the Highest. 
 
 5 Lo, yet am I weary in my mind, and very weak in my spirit ; 
 and little strength is there in me, for the great fear wherewith I 
 was affrighted this night. 
 
 6 Therefore will I now beseech the Highest, that he will com- 
 i^rt me unto the end. 
 
 7 And I said, Lord that bearest rule, if I have found grace 
 before thy sight, and if I am justified with thee before many 
 others, and if my prayer indeed be come up before thy face ; 
 
 8 Comfort me then, and show me thy servant the interpreta- 
 tion and plain difference of this fearful visiou, that thou mayest 
 perfectly comfort my soul. 
 
 9 For thou hast judged me worthy to show me the last times. 
 
 10 And he said unto me, This is the interpretation of the 
 vision : 
 
 11 The eagle whom thou sawest come up from the sea, is the 
 kingdom which was seen in the vision of thy brother Daniel. 
 
 12 But it was not expounded unto him, therefore now I de- 
 clare it uute thee 
 
 13 Behold, the days will come, that there shall rise v>p a Ving- 
 dom upon earth, and it shall be feared above all the kingOjms 
 that were before it. 
 
 14 In the same shall twelve kings reign, one after mother: 
 
 15 Whereof the second shall begin to reign, and shall have 
 more time than any of the twelve. 
 
 16 And this do the twelve wings signify, which thou sawest. 
 
 17 As for the voice which thou heardest speak, and that thou 
 sawest not to go out from the heads, but from the midst of the 
 body thereof, this is the interpretation : 
 
 18 That after the time of that kingdom there shall arise great 
 strivings, and it shall stand in peril of falling : nevertheless, it 
 shall not then fall, but shall be restored again to his beginning 
 
 19 And whereas *hou sawest the eight small under-featherr, 
 sticking to her wings, this is the interpretation : 
 
 20 That in him there shall arise eight kings, whose times shall 
 be but small, and their years swift. 
 
 21 And two of them shall perish, the middle time approach- 
 ing : four shall be kept until their end begin to approach : but 
 two shall be kept unto the end. 
 
 22 And whereas thou sawest three heads resting, this is the 
 interpretation : 
 
 23 In his last days shall the Most High raise up three king- 
 doms, and renew many things therein, and they shall have the 
 dominion of the earth, 
 
 24 And of those that dwell therein, with much oppression, 
 above all those that were before them : therefore are they called 
 the heads of the eagle. 
 
 25 For these are they that shall accomplish his wickedness, 
 and that shall finish his last end. 
 
 26 And whereas thou sawest that the great head appeared no 
 more, it signifieth that one of them shall die upon his bed, and 
 yet with pain. 
 
 27 For the two that remain shall be slain with the sword. 
 
 28 For the sword of the one shall devour the other : but at 
 the last shall he fall through the sword himself. 
 
 29 And whereas thou sawest two feathers under the wings 
 passing over the head that is on the right side ; 
 
 30 It signifieth that these are they whom the Highest hath 
 kept unto their end : this is the small kingdom and full of 
 trouble, as thou sawest. 
 
 31 And the lion, whom thou sawest rising up out of the wood, 
 and roaring, and speaking to the eagle, and rebuking her for her 
 unrighteousness with all the words which thou hast heard ; 
 
 32 This is the anointed, which the Highest hath kept for them 
 and for their wickedness unto the end : he shall reprove them, 
 and shall upbraid them with their cruelty. 
 
 33 For he shall set them before him alive in judgment, and 
 shall rebuke them and correct them. 
 
 34 For the rest of my people shall he deliver with mercv. 
 those that have been preserved upon my borders, and he shall 
 make them joyful until the coming of the day of judgment, 
 whereof I have spoken unto thee from the beginning. 
 
 35 This is the dream that thou sawest, and these are the in- 
 terpretations. 
 
 36 Thou only hast been meet to know this secret of the High 
 est. 
 
 37 Therefore write all these things that thou hast seen in a 
 book, and hide them : 
 
 38 And teach them to the wise of the people, whose heart* 
 thou knowest may comprehend and keep these secrets. 
 
 39 But wait thou here thyself yet seven days more, that it 
 may be showed thee, whatsoever it pleaseth the Highest to de- 
 clare unto thee. And with that he went his way. 
 
 40 And it came to pass, when all the people saw that the 
 seven days were past, and I not come again into the city, the? 
 gathered them all together, from the least unto the greatest, ana 
 came unto me, and said, 
 
 41 What have we offended thee ? and what evil have we done 
 against thee, that thou forsakest us, and sittest here in this place i 
 
 42 For of all the prophets thou only art left us, as a clustoi 
 
 21 
 
Apocrypha. 
 
 II. ESDRAS. 
 
 Apocrypha 
 
 of the vintage, and as a candle in a dark place, and as a haven 
 or ship preserved from the tempest. 
 
 43 Are not the evils which are come to us sufficient ? 
 
 44 If thou shalt forsake us, how much better had it been for 
 as, if we also had been burned in the midst of Sion ? 
 
 45 For we are not better than they that died there. And 
 they wept with a loud voice. Then answered I them, and said, 
 
 46 Be of good comfort, Israel, and be not heavy, thou house 
 of Jacob : 
 
 47 For the Highest hath you in remembrance, and the Mighty 
 hath not forgotten you in temptation. 
 
 48 As for me, I have not forsaken you, neither am I departed 
 from you : but am come into tbis place, to pray for the desola- 
 tion of Sion, and that I might seek mercy for the low estate of 
 your sanctuary. 
 
 49 And now go your way home every man, and after these 
 days will I come unto you. 
 
 50 So the people went their way into the city, like as I com- 
 manded them : 
 
 51 But I remained still in the field seven days, as the angel 
 commanded me ; and did eat only in those days of the flowers of 
 the field, and had my meat of the herbs. 
 
 CHAPTER XIII. 
 
 J He seeth in his dream a man coming out of the sea. 25 The decla- 
 ration of his dream. 54 He is praised, and promised to see more. 
 
 AND it came to pass after seven days, I dreamed a dream by 
 night : 
 
 2 And lo, there arose a wind from the sea, that it moved all 
 the waves thereof. 
 
 3 And I beheld, and lo, that man waxed strong with the 
 thousands of heaven : and when he turned his countenance to 
 look, all the things trembled that were seen under him. 
 
 4 And whensoever the voice went out of his mouth, all they 
 burned that heard his voice, like as the earth faileth when it 
 feeleth the fire. 
 
 5 And after this I beheld, and lo, there was gathered together 
 a multitude of men, out of number, from the four winds of the 
 heaven, to subdue the man that came out of the sea. 
 
 6 But I beheld, and lo, he had graved himself a great moun- 
 tain, and flew up upon it. 
 
 7 But I would have seen the region or place whereout the 
 hill was graven, and I could not. 
 
 8 And after this I beheld, and lo, all they which were gather- 
 ed together to subdue him were sore afraid, and yet durst fight. 
 
 9 And lo, as he saw the violence of the multitude that came, 
 he neither lifted up his hand, nor held sword, nor any instrument 
 of war : 
 
 10 But only I saw that he sent out of his mouth as it had 
 been a blast of fire, and out of his lips a flaming breath, and out 
 of his tongue he east out sparks and tempests. 
 
 11 And they were all mixed together; the blast of fire, the 
 flaming breath, and the great tempest; and fell with violence 
 upou the multitude which was prepared to fight, and burned them 
 
 p every one, so that upon a sudden of an innumerable multitude 
 othing was to be perceived, but only dust and smell of smoke : 
 when I saw this I was afraid. 
 
 12 Afterward I saw the same man come down from the moun- 
 tain, and call unto him another peaceable multitude. 
 
 13 And there came much people unto him, whereof some 
 were glad, some were sorry, some of them were bound, and other 
 some brought of them that were offered : then was I sick through 
 great fear, and I awaked, and said, 
 
 14 Thou hast showed thy servant these wonders from the be- 
 ginning, and hast counted me worthy that thou shouldest receive 
 my prayer : 
 
 15 Show me now yet the interpretation of this dream. 
 
 16 For as I conceived in mine understanding, wo unto them 
 that shall be left in .those days ! and much more wo unto them 
 that are not left behind ! 
 
 17 For they that were not "left were in heaviness. 
 
 22 
 
 18 Now understand I the things that are laid up in the latter 
 days, which shall happen unto them, and to those that are 1 ift - 
 behind. 
 
 19 Therefore are they come into great perils and many nee '&- 
 sities, like as these dreams declare. 
 
 20 Yet 13 it easier for him that is in danger to come into these 
 things, than to pass away as a cloud out of the world, and not to 
 see the things that happen in the last days. And he answer^ 
 unto me, and said, ■ 
 
 21 The interpretation of the vision shall I show thee, and I 
 will open unto thee the thing that thou hast required. 
 
 22 Whereas thou hast spoken of them that are left behii.d, 
 this is the interpretation : 
 
 23 He that shall endure the peril in that time hath kept him- 
 self: they that be fallen into danger are such as have works, and 
 faith towards the Almighty. 
 
 24 Know this therefore, that they which be left behind t-re 
 more blessed than they that be dead. 
 
 25 This is the meaning of the vision : Whereas thou sawest 
 a man coming up from the midst of the sea : 
 
 26 The same is he whom God the Highest hath kept a grea 
 season, which by his own self shall deliver his creature : and he 
 shall order them that are left behind. 
 
 27 And whereas thou sawest, that out of his mouth there came 
 as a blast of wind, and fire, and storm ; 
 
 28 And that he held neither sword, nor any instrument of 
 war, but that the rushing in of him destroyed the whole multi 
 tude that came to subdue him ; this is the interpretation : 
 
 29 Behold, the days come, when the Most High will begin tf 
 deliver them that are upon the earth. 
 
 30 And he shall come to the astonishment of them that dwe. 
 on the earth. 
 
 31 And one shall undertake to fight against another, one my 
 against another, one place against another, one people against 
 another, and one realm against another. 
 
 32 And the time shall be when these things shall come to 
 pass, and the signs shall happen which I showed thee before, and 
 then shall my Son be declared, whom thou sawest as a man as- 
 cending. 
 
 33 And when all the people hear his voice, every man shall 
 in their own land leave the battle they have one against another. 
 
 34 And an innumerable multitude shall be gathered together, 
 as thou sawest them, willing to come, and to overcome him by 
 fighting. 
 
 35 But he shall stand upon the top of the mount Sion. 
 
 36 And Sion shall come, and shall be showed to all men, 
 being prepared and builded, like as thou sawest the hill graven 
 without hands. 
 
 37 And this my Son shall rebuke the wicked inventions of 
 those nations, which for their wicked life are fallen into the tem- 
 pest; 
 
 38 And shall lay before them their evil thoughts, and the 
 torments wherewith they shall begin to be tormented, which are 
 like unto a flame : and he shall destroy them without labour by 
 the law which is like unto fire. 
 
 39 And whereas thou sawest that he gathered another peace 
 able multitude unto him ; 
 
 40 Those are the ten tribes, which were carried away prisoners 
 out of their own land in the time of Osea the king, whom Salnian- 
 asar the king of Assyria led away captive, and he carried them 
 over the waters, and so came they into another land. 
 
 41 But they took this counsel among themselves, that they 
 would leave the multitude of the heathen, and go forth into a 
 further country, where never mankind dwelt, 
 
 42 That they might there keep their statutes, which they never 
 kept in their own land. 
 
 43 And they entered into Euphrates by the narrow passages 
 of the river. 
 
 44 For the Most High then showed signs for them, and held 
 still the flood, till they were passed over. 
 
 45 For through that country there was a great way to go, 
 
Apocrypha. 
 
 CHAP. XIV 
 
 Apocrypha 
 
 tamely, of a year and a half: and the same region is called Ar- 
 sareth. 
 
 46 Then dwelt they there until the latter time ; and now when 
 tiny shall begin to come, 
 
 47 The Highest shall stay the springs of the stream again, 
 that they may go through : therefore sawest thou the multitude 
 with peace. 
 
 48 But those that be left behind of thy people, are they that 
 are found within my borders. 
 
 49 Now when he destroyeth the multitude of the nations that 
 are gathered together, he shall defend his people that remain. 
 
 50 And then shall he show them great wonders. 
 
 51 Then said I, O Lord that bearest rule, show me this : 
 Wherefore have I seen the man coming up from the midst of the 
 sea? 
 
 52 And he said unto me, Like as thou canst neither seek out 
 nor know the things that are in the deep of the sea : even so can 
 no man upon earth see my Son, or those that be with him, but 
 in the day-time. 
 
 53 This is the interpretation of the dream which thou sawest, 
 and whereby thou only art here lightened. 
 
 54 For thou hast forsaken thine own way, and applied thy 
 diligence unto my law, and sought it. 
 
 55 Thy life hast thou ordered in wisdom, and hast called un- 
 derstanding thy mother. 
 
 56 And therefore have I showed thee the treasures of the 
 Highest : after other three days I will speak other things unto 
 thee, and declare unto thee mighty and wondrous things. 
 
 57 Then went I fort* into the field, giving praise and thanks 
 greatly unto the Most High because of his wonders, which he 
 did in time; 
 
 58 And because he governeth the same, and such things as 
 fall in their seasons : and there I sat three days. 
 
 CHAPTER XIV. 
 
 1 A voice out of a bush calleth Esdras, 10 and telleth him that the 
 world waxeth old. 22 He desireth, because the law was burnt, to 
 write all again, 24 and is bid to get swift writers. 39 He and they 
 are filled with understanding. 45 But he is charged not to publish 
 all that is written. 
 
 A ND it came to pass upon the third day, I sat under an oak, 
 £»- and behold, there came a voice out of a bush over against 
 me, and said, Esdras, Esdras. 
 
 2 And I said, Here am I, Lord. And I stood up upon my 
 feet. 
 
 3 Then said he unto me, in the bush I did manifestly reveal 
 myself unto Moses, and talked with him, when my people served 
 in Egypt : 
 
 4 And I sent him, and led my people out of Egypt, and 
 brought him up to the mount of Sinai, where I held him by me 
 a long season, 
 
 5 And told him many wondrous things, and showed him the 
 secrets of the times, and the end; and commanded him, saying, 
 
 6 These words shalt thou declare, and these shalt thou hide, 
 
 7 And now I say unto thee, 
 
 8 That thou lay up in thy heart the signs that I have showed, 
 and the dreams that thou hast seen, and the interpretations which 
 thou hast heard : 
 
 9 For thou shalt be taken away from all, and from henceforth 
 thou shalt remain with my Son, and with such as be like thee, 
 until the times be ended. 
 
 10 For the world hath lost his youth, and the times begin to 
 wax old. 
 
 1.1 For the world is divided into twelve parts, and the ten 
 parts of it are gone already, and half of a tenth part : 
 
 12 And there remaineth that which is after the half of the 
 tenth part: 
 
 13 Now therefore set thine house in order, and reprove thy 
 people, comfort such of them as be in trouble, and now renounce 
 corruption 
 
 14 Let go from thec mortal thoughts, cast away the burdma 
 of man, put off now the weak nature, 
 
 15 And set aside the thoughts that arc most heavy unto thee, 
 and haste thee to flee from these times. 
 
 16 For yet greater evils than those which thou hast seen hap- 
 pen shall be done hereafter. 
 
 17 For look how much the world shall be weaker through age, 
 so much the more shall evils increase upon them that dwell therein. 
 
 18 For the truth is fled far away, and leasing is hard at hant 
 for now hasteth the vision to come, which thou hast seen. 
 
 19 Then answered 1 before thee, and said, 
 
 20 Behold, Lord,. I will go, as thou hast commanded me, an 1 
 reprove the people which are present : but they that shall lie 
 born afterward, who shall admonish them? thus the world is set 
 in darkness, and they that dwell therein arc without light. 
 
 21 For thy law is burnt, therefore no man knoweth the things 
 that are done of thee, or the works that shall begin. 
 
 22 But if I have found grace before thee, send the Holy Ghost 
 into mc, and I shall write all that hath been done in the world 
 since the beginning, which were written in thy law, that men 
 may find thy path, and that they which will live in the latter 
 days may live. 
 
 23 And he answered me, saying, Go thy way, gather the 
 people together, and say unto them, that they seek thee not for 
 forty days. 
 
 24 But look thou prepare thee many boxtrees, and take with 
 thee Sarea, Dabria, Selemia, Ecanus, and Asiel, these five which 
 are ready to write swiftly; 
 
 2'<3 And come hither, and I shall light a candle of understand- 
 ing in thine heart, which shall not be put out, till the things be 
 performed which thou shalt begin to write. 
 
 26 And when thou hast done, some things shalt thou publish, 
 and some things shalt thou show secretly to the wise : <o-morrow 
 this hour shalt thou begin to write. 
 
 27 Then went I forth as he commanded, and gathered all the 
 people together, and said, 
 
 28 Hear these words, Israel. 
 
 29 Our fathers at the beginning were strangers in Egypt, from 
 whence they were delivered : 
 
 30 And received the law of life, which they kept not, which 
 ye also have transgressed after them. 
 
 31 Then was the land, even the land of Sion, parted among 
 you by lot : but your fathers, and ye yourselves, have done un- 
 righteousness, and have not kept the ways which the Highest 
 commanded you. 
 
 32 And forasmuch as he is a righteous judge, he took from 
 you in time the thing that he had given you. 
 
 33 And now are ye here, and your brethren among you. 
 
 34 Therefore if so be that ye will subdue j'our own under- 
 standing, and reform your hearts, ye shall be kept alive, and 
 after death ye shall obtain mercy. 
 
 35 For after death shall the judgment come, when we shall 
 live again : and then shall the names of the righteous be mani- 
 fest, and the works of the ungodly shall be declared. 
 
 36 Let no man therefore come unto me now, nor seek after 
 me these forty days. 
 
 37 So I took the five men, as he commanded me, and we went 
 into the field, and remained there. 
 
 38 And the next day, behold, a voice called me, saying, Es 
 dras, open thy mouth, and drink that I give thee to drink. 
 
 39 Then opened I my mouth, and behold, he reached me » 
 full cup, which was full as it were with water, but the colour of 
 it was like fire. 
 
 40 And I took it, and drank : and when I had drunk of it, 
 my heart uttered understanding, and wisdom grew in my breast, 
 for my spirit strengthened my memory : 
 
 41 And my mouth was opened, and shut no more. 
 
 42 The Highest gave understanding unto the five men, and 
 they wrote the wonderful visions of the night that were told, 
 which they knew not : and they sat forty days, and they wrot« 
 in the day, and at night they ate bread. 
 
 23 
 
Apocrypha. 
 
 II. ESDRAS. 
 
 Apocrypha. 
 
 13 As for me, I spake in the day, and 1 held not my tongue 
 by night. 
 
 4-4 Iu forty days they wrote two hundred and four books. 
 
 45 And it came to pass, when the forty days were fulfilled, 
 that the Highest spake, saying, The first that thou hast written 
 publish openly, that the worthy and unworthy may read it: 
 
 40 But keep the seventy last, that thou maycst deliver them 
 only to such as be wise amorig the people : 
 
 47 For in them is the spring of understanding, the fountain 
 of wisdom, and the stream of knowledge. 
 
 48 And I did so. 
 
 CHAPTER XV. 
 
 I This prophecy is certain. 6 God will take vengeance upon the wick- 
 ed, 12 upou Egypt. 28 An horrible vision. 43 Babylon and Asia 
 are threatened. 
 
 BEHOLD, speak thou in the ears of my people the words of 
 prophecy, which T will put in thy mouth, saith the Lord : 
 
 2 And cause them to be written in paper: for they are faith- 
 ful and true. 
 
 3 Fear not the imaginations against thee; let not the incre- 
 dulity of them trouble thee, that speak against thee. 
 
 4 For all the unfaithful shall die in their unfaithfulness. 
 
 5 Behold, saith the Lord, I will bring plagues upon the world ; 
 the sword, famine, death, and destruction. 
 
 6 For wickedness hath exceedingly polluted the whole earth, 
 and their hurtful works are fulfilled. 
 
 7 Therefore saith the Lord, 
 
 8 I will hold my tongue no more as touching their wickedness, 
 which they profanely commit, neither will I suffer them in those 
 things in which they wickedly exercise themselves : behold, the 
 innocent and righteous blood crieth unto me, and the souls of the 
 just complain continually. 
 
 9 And therefore, saith the Lord, I will surely avenge them, 
 and receive unto me all the innocent blood from among them. 
 
 10 Behold, my people is led as a flock to the slaughter : I 
 will not suffer them now to dwell in the land of Egypt : 
 
 11 But I will bring them with a mighty hand and a stretched- 
 out arm, and smite Egypt with plagues, as before, and will de- 
 stroy all the land thereof. 
 
 12 Egypt shall mourn, and the foundation of it shall be smit- 
 ten with the plague and punishment that God shall bring upon 
 it. 
 
 13 They that till the ground shall mourn : for their seeds 
 shall fail through the blasting and hail, and with a fearful con- 
 stellation. 
 
 14 Woe to the world, aud them that dwell therein ! 
 
 15 For the sword and their destruction draweth nigh, and one 
 people shall stand up to fight against another, and swords in their 
 hands. 
 
 16 For there shall be sedition among men, and invading one 
 another ; they shall not regard their kings nor princes, and the 
 course of their actions shall stand in their power. 
 
 17 A man shall desire to go into a city, and shall not be able. 
 
 18 For because of their pride the cities shall be troubled, the 
 bouses shall be destroyed, and men shall be afraid. 
 
 19 A man shall have no pity upon his neighbour, but shall 
 destroy their houses with the sword, and spoil their goods, be- 
 cause of the lack of bread, and for great tribulation. 
 
 20 Behold, saith God, I will call together all the kings of the 
 earth to reverence me, which are from the rising of the sun, from 
 the south, from the east, and Libanus; to turn themselves one 
 against another, and repay the things that they have done to 
 them. 
 
 21 Like as they do yet this day unto my chosen, so will I do 
 also, and recompense in their bosom. Thus saith the Lord God, 
 
 22 My right hand shall not spare the sinners, and my sword 
 shall not cease over them that shed innocent blood upon the 
 earth. 
 
 M The fire is gone forth from his wrath, and hath consumed 
 
 24 
 
 the foundations of the earth, and the sinners like the straw that 
 is kindled. 
 
 24 Woe to them that sin, and keep not my commandments : 
 saith the Lord : 
 
 25 I will not spare them : go your way, ye children, tr«ni the 
 power, defile not my sanctuary. 
 
 26 For the Lord knoweth all them that sin against him, aud 
 therefore delivereth he them unto death aud destruction. 
 
 27 For now are the plagues come upon the whole earth, grid 
 ye shall remain in them : for God shall not deliver you, because 
 ye have sinned against him. 
 
 28 Behold an horrible vision, and *he appearance thereof from 
 the east: 
 
 29 Where the nations of the dragons of Arabia shall come 
 out with many chariots, and the multitude of them shall be 
 carried as the wind upon earth, that all they which hear there 
 may fear and tremble. 
 
 30 Also the Carmanians raging in wrath shall go forth as the 
 wild boars of the wood, and with great power shall they come, 
 and join battle with them, and shall waste a portion of the land 
 of the Assyrians. 
 
 31 And then shall the dragons have the upper hand, reniem- 
 bering their nature ; and if they shall turn themselves, conspiring 
 together in great power to persecute them. 
 
 32 Then these shall be troubled, and keep silence through 
 their power, and shall flee. 
 
 33 And from the land of the Assyrians shall the enemy be- 
 siege them, and consume some of them, and in their host shall 
 be fear and dread, and strife among their*kiDgs. 
 
 34 Behold clouds from the east and from the north unto the 
 south, and they are very horrible to look upon, full of wrath and 
 storm. 
 
 35 They shall smite one upon another, and they shall smite 
 down a great multitude of stars upon the earth, even their own 
 star; and blood shall be fr"m the sword uuto the belly, 
 
 36 And dung of men unto the camel's hough. 
 
 37 And there shall be great fearfulness and trembling upon 
 earth : and they that see the wrath shall be afraid, and trembling 
 shall come upon them. 
 
 38 And then shall there come great storms from the south, 
 and from the north, and another part from the west. 
 
 39 And strong winds shall arise from the east, and shall open 
 it; and the cloud which he raised up in wrath, and the star 
 stirred to cause fear towards the east and west wind, shall be de- 
 stroyed. 
 
 40 The great and mighty clouds shall be lifted up full of 
 wrath, and the star, that they may make all the earth afraid, 
 and them that dwell therein ; and they shall pour out over every 
 high and eminent place an horrible star, 
 
 41 Fire and hail, and flying swords, and many waters, that all 
 fields may be full, and all rivers, with the abundance of great 
 waters. 
 
 42 And they shall break down the cities and walls, mountains 
 and hills, trees of the wood, and grass of the meadows, and their 
 corn. 
 
 43 And they shall go steadfastly unto Babylon, and make b<;r 
 afraid. 
 
 44 They shall come to her, and besiege her, the star and all 
 wrath shall they pour out upon her : then shall the dust and 
 smoke go up unto the heaven, and all they that be about her 
 shall bewail her. 
 
 45 And they that remain under her shall do service unto tht m 
 that have put her in fear. 
 
 46 And thou, Asia, that art partaker of the hope of Babylon, 
 and art the glory of her person : 
 
 47 Woe be unto thee, thou wretch, because thou hast made 
 thyself like unto her ; and hast decked thy daughters in whore- 
 dom, that they might please and glory in thy lovers, which have 
 always desired to commit whoredom with thee ! 
 
 48 Thou hast followed her that is hated in all her works toid 
 inventions : therefore saith God, 
 
rfpi-cryptia. 
 
 CHAP. XVI. 
 
 Apocrypha 
 
 49 I will Bend plagues upon thee ; widowhood, poverty, fam- 
 ine, sword, and pestilence, to waste thy houses with destruction 
 and death. 
 
 50 And the glory of thy power shall be dried up as a flower, 
 when the heat shall arise that is sent over thee. 
 
 5 1 Thou shalt be weakened as a poor woman with stripes, and 
 as one chastised with wounds, so that the mighty and lovers shall 
 not be able to receive thee. 
 
 52 Would I with jealousy have so proceeded against thee, 
 Baith the Lord. 
 
 53 If thou hadst not always slain my chosen, exalting the 
 stroke of thine hands, and saying over their dead, when thou 
 wast drunken, 
 
 5-1 Set forth the beauty of thy countenance ? 
 
 55 The reward of thy whoredom shall be in thy bosom, there- 
 fore shalt thou receive recompense. 
 
 56 Like as thou hast done unto my chosen, saith the Lord, 
 even so shall God do unto thee, and shall deliver thee into mis- 
 chief. 
 
 57 Thy children shall die of hunger, and thou shalt fall 
 through the sword : thy cities shall be broken down, and all thine 
 shall perish with the sword >u the field. 
 
 58 They that be in the mountains shall die of hunger, and 
 eat their own flesh, and drink their own blood, for very hunger 
 of bread, and thirst of water. 
 
 59 Thou as unhappy shall come through the sea, and receive 
 plagues again. 
 
 60 And in the passage they shall rush on the idle city, and 
 6hall destroy some portion of thy land, and consume part of thy 
 glory, and shall return to Babylon that was destroyed. 
 
 61 And thou shalt be cast down by them as stubble, and they 
 phall be unto thee a3 fire ; 
 
 62 And shall consume thee, and thy cities, thy land and thy 
 mountains ; all thy woods and thy fruitful trees shall they burn 
 up with fire. 
 
 63 Thy children shall they carry away captive, and look, what 
 thou hast, they shall spoil it, and mar the beauty of thy face. 
 
 CHAPTER XVI. 
 
 1 Babylon and other places are threatened with plagues that cannot 
 he avoided, 23 and with desolation. 40 The servants of the Lord 
 must look for troubles : 51 and not hide their sins, 74 but leave them, 
 and they shall be delivered. 
 
 WOE be unto thee, Babylon, and Asia ! woe be unto thee, 
 Egypt, and Syria ! 
 
 2 Gird up yourselves with cloths of sack and hair, bewail your 
 children, and be sorry ; for your destruction is at hand. 
 
 3 A sword is sent upon you, and who may turn it back ? 
 
 4 A fire is sent among you, and who may quench it ? 
 
 5 Plagues are sent unto you, and what is he that may drive 
 them away? 
 
 6 May any man drive away an hungry lion in the wood ? or 
 may any one quench the fire in stubble, when it hath begun to 
 burn? 
 
 7 May one turn again the arrow that is shot of a strong 
 archer ? 
 
 8 The Mighty Lord sendeth the plagues, and who is he that 
 can drive them away ? 
 
 9 A fire shall go forth from his wrath, and who is he that may 
 quench it ? 
 
 10 He shall cast lightnings, and who shall not fear? he shall 
 thunder, and who shall not be afraid ? 
 
 11 The Lord shall threaten, and who shall not be utterly beat- 
 en to powder at his presence ? 
 
 12 The earth quaketh, and the foundations thereof; the sea 
 ariseth up with waves from the deep, and the waves of it are 
 troubled, and the fishes thereof also, before the Lord, and before 
 the glory of his power : 
 
 13 For strong is his right hand that bendeth the bow, his 
 arrows that he shooteth are sharp, and shall not miss when they 
 beein to be shot into the ends of the world. 
 
 D 
 
 14 Behold, the plagues arc sent, and shall not return again, 
 until they come upon the earth. 
 
 15 The fire is kindled, and shall not be put out, till it consume 
 the foundation of the earth. 
 
 16 Like as an arrow which is shot of a mighty archer return- 
 cth not backward : even so the plagues that shall be scut upon 
 earth shall not return again. 
 
 17 Woe is me ! woe is me ! who will deliver me in those days '/ 
 
 18 The beginning of sorrows and great mournings; the begin 
 ning of famine and great death; the beginning of wars, and the 
 powers shall stand in fear; the beginning of evils! what shall I 
 do when these evils shall come ? 
 
 19 Behold, famine and plague, tribulation and anguish, are 
 sent as scourges for amendment. 
 
 20 But for all these things they shall not turn from their 
 wickedness, nor be always mindful of thy scourges. 
 
 21 Behold, victuals shall be so good, cheap upon earth, that 
 they shall think themselves to be in good case, and even then 
 shall evils grow upon earth, sword, famine, and great confusion. 
 
 22 For many of them that dwell upon earth shall perish of 
 famine ; and the others that escape the hunger, shall the sword 
 destroy. 
 
 23 And the dead shall be cast out as dung, and there shall be 
 no man to comfort- them : for the earth shall be wasted, and the 
 cities shall be cast down. 
 
 24 There shall be no man left to till the earth, and to sow it 
 
 25 The trees shall give fruit, and who shall gather thom ? 
 
 26 The grapes shall ripen, and who shall tread them ? for all 
 places shall be desolate of men ; 
 
 27 So that one man shall desire to see another, and to hear 
 his voice. 
 
 28 For of a city there shall be ten left, and two of the field, 
 which shall hide themselves in the thick groves, aud in the clefts 
 of the rocks. 
 
 29 As in an orchard of olives upon every tree there are left 
 threee or four olives; 
 
 30 Or as when a vineyard is gathered, there are left some 
 clusters of them that diligently seek through the vineyard : 
 
 31 Even so in those days there shall be three or four left by 
 them that search their houses with the sword. 
 
 32 And the earth shall be laid waste, and the fields thereof 
 shall wax old, and her ways and all her paths shall grow full of 
 thorns, because no man shall travel there-through. 
 
 33 The virgins shall mourn, having no bridegrooms; the 
 women shall mourn, having no husbands; their daughters shall 
 mourn, having no helpers. 
 
 34 In the wars shall their bridegrooms be destroyed, and their 
 husbands shall perish of famine. 
 
 35 Hear now these things, and understand them, ye servants 
 of the Lord. 
 
 36 Behold the word of the Lord, receive it : believe not the 
 gods of whom the Lord spake. 
 
 37 Behold, the plagues draw nigh, and are not slack. 
 
 38 As when a woman with child in the ninth month bringeth 
 forth her son, within two or three hours of her birth great pains 
 compass her womb, which pains, wheu the child cometh forth, 
 they slack not a moment : 
 
 39 Even so shall not the plagues be slack to come upon tho 
 earth, and the world shall mourn, and sorrows shall come upon 
 it on every side. 
 
 40 O my people, hear my word : make you ready to the battle, 
 and in those evils be even as pilgrims upon the earth. 
 
 41 He that selleth, let him be as he that fleeth away : and hn 
 that buyeth, as one that will lose : 
 
 42 He that occupieth merchandise, a» he that hath no profit 
 by it : and he that buildeth, as he that shall not dwell therein : 
 
 43 He that soweth, as if he should not reap : so also he that 
 planteth the vineyard, as he that shall not gather the grapes : 
 
 44 They that marry, as they that shall get no children : and 
 they that marry not, as the widowers. 
 
 45 And therefore they that labour, labour in vain : 
 
Apocrypha. 
 
 TOBIT. 
 
 Apocrypha. 
 
 46 For strangers shall reap their fruits, and spoil their goods, 
 overthrow their houses, and take their children captives, for iu 
 captivity ami famine shall they get children. 
 
 47 And they that occupy their merchandise with robbery, the 
 more they deck their cities, their houses, their possessions, and 
 their own persons : 
 
 48 The more will I be angry with them for their sin, saith 
 the Lord. 
 
 49 Like as a whore envieth a right honest and virtuous woman : 
 
 50 So shall righteousness hate iniquity, when she decketh her- 
 self, and shall accuse her to her face, when he cometh that shall 
 defend him that diligently searcheth out every sin upon earth. 
 
 51 And therefore be ye not like thereunto, nor to the works 
 thereof. 
 
 52 For yet a little, and iniquity shall be taken away out of 
 the earth, and righteousness shall reign among you. 
 
 53 Let not the sinner say that he hath not sinned : for God 
 shall burn coals of fire upon his head, which saith before the 
 Lord God and his glory, I have not sinned. 
 
 54 Behold, the Lord knoweth all the works of men, their 
 imaginations, their thoughts, and their hearts : 
 
 55 Which spake but the word, Let the earth be made ; and 
 it was made : Let the heaven be made ; and it was created. 
 
 56 In his word were the stars made, and he knoweth the 
 number of them. 
 
 57 He searcheth the deep, and the treasures thereof; he hath 
 measured the sea, and what it containeth. 
 
 58 He hath shut the sea in the midst of the waters, and with 
 his word hath he hanged the earth upon the waters. 
 
 59 He spreadeth out the heavens hke a vault ; upon the waters 
 hath he founded it. 
 
 60 In the desert hath he made springs of water, and pools 
 upon the tops of the mountains, that the floods might pour down 
 from the high rocks to water the earth. 
 
 61 He made man, and put his heart in the midst of the body, 
 and gave him breath, life, and understanding. 
 
 62 Yea, and the Spirit of Almighty God, which made all things, 
 and searcheth out all hidden things in the secrets of the earth, 
 
 63 Surely he knoweth your inventions, and what ye think in 
 your hearts, even them that sin, and would hide their sin. 
 
 64 Therefore hath the Lord exactly searched out all youi 
 works, and he will put you all to shame. 
 
 65 And when your sins are brought forth, ye shall be ashamed 
 before men, and your own sins shall be your accusers in that 
 day. 
 
 66 What will ye do ? or how will ye hide your sins befora 
 God and his angels ? 
 
 67 Behold God himself is the judge, fear him ! leave off from 
 your sins, and forget your iniquities, to meddle no more with 
 them for ever : so shall God lead you forth, and deliver you from 
 all trouble. 
 
 68 For behold, the burning wrath of a great multitude is 
 kindled over you, and they shall take away certain of you, »»d 
 feed you, being idle, with things offered unto idols. 
 
 69 And they that consent unto them shall be had in derision 
 and in reproach, and trodden under foot. 
 
 70 For there shall be in every place, and in the next cities, a 
 great insurrection upon those that fear the Lord. 
 
 71 They shall be like mad men, sparing none, but still spoil- 
 ing and destroying those that fear the Lord. 
 
 72 For they shall waste and take away their goods, and east 
 them out of their houses. 
 
 73 Then shall they be known who are my chosen ; and ihey 
 shall be tried as the gold in the fire. 
 
 74 Hear, ye my beloved, saith the Lord : behold, the days 
 of trouble are at hand, but I will deliver you from the same. 
 
 75 Be ye not afraid, neither doubt; for God is your guide, 
 
 76 And the guide of them who keep my commandments and 
 precepts, saith the Lord God : let not your sins weigh you down, 
 and let not your iniquities lift up themselves. 
 
 77 Woe be unto them that are bound with their sins, and 
 covered with their iniquities, like as a field is covered over with 
 bushes, and the path thereof covered with thorns, that no man 
 may travel through ! 
 
 78 It is left undressed, and is cast into the fire to be consumsd 
 therewith. 
 
 TOBIT. 
 
 CHAPTER I. 
 
 1 Tobit's stock, and devotion in his youth : 9 His marriage, 10 and 
 captivity : 13 His preferment, 16 alms and charity in burying the 
 dead, 19 for which he is accused and fieeth, 22 and after returneth 
 to Nineve. 
 
 THE book of the words of Tobit, son of Tobiel, the son of 
 Ananiel, the son of Aduel, the son of Gabael, c-f '-he seed of 
 Asael, of the tribe of Nephthali ; 
 
 2 Who in the time of Enemessar king of the Assyrians was 
 ' - ed captive out of Thisbe, which is at the right hand of that city, 
 vhich is called properly Nepthali in Galilee above Aser. 
 
 3 I Tobit have walked ail the days of my life in the way of 
 truth and justice, and I did many alms-deeds to my brethren, 
 and my nation, who came with me to Nineve, into the land of 
 the Assyrians. 
 
 4 And when I was in mine own country, in the land of Israel, 
 being but young, all the tribe of Nephthali my father fell from 
 ibe house of Jerusalem, which was chosen out of all the tribes 
 of Israel, that all the tribes should sacrifice there, where the 
 temple of the habitation of the Most High was consecrated and 
 rmilt for all ages. 
 
 5 Now all the tribes which together revolted, and the house 
 'it my father Nephthali, sacrificed unto the heifer Baal. 
 
 6 But I alone went often to Jerusalem at the feasts, as it was 
 ordainc-d unto all the people of Israel by an everlasting decree, 
 taviug the first-fruits and tenths of increase, with that which was 
 
 26 
 
 first shorn ; and them gave I at the altar to the priests the chil- 
 dren of Aaron. 
 
 7 The first tenth part of all increase I gave to the sons of 
 Aaron, who ministered at Jerusalem : another tenth part I sold 
 away, and went, and spent it every year at Jerusalem : 
 
 8 And the third I gave unto them to whom it was meet, as 
 Debora my father's mother had commanded me, because I was 
 left an orphan by my father. 
 
 9 Furthermore, when I was come to the age of a man, I 
 married Anna of mine own kindred, and of her I begat Tobias. 
 
 10 And when we were carried away captives to Nineve, all 
 my brethren and those that were of my kindred did eat of (he 
 bread of the Gentiles. 
 
 11 But I kept myself from eating; 
 
 12 Because I remembered God with all my heart. 
 
 13 And the Most High gave me grace and favour before Ene- 
 messar, so that I was his purveyor. 
 
 14 And I went into Media, and left in trust with Gabael, the 
 brother of Gabrias, at Rages, a city of Media, ten talents of silver. 
 
 15 Now when Enemessar was dead, Sennacherib his son reign- 
 ed in his stead; whose estate was troubled, that I could not go 
 into Media. 
 
 16 And in the time of Enemessar I gave many alms to my 
 brethren, and gave my bread to the hungry, 
 
 17 And my clothes to the naked : and if I saw any of my 
 cation dead, or cast about the walls of Nineve, I buried him- 
 
Apocrypha. 
 
 CHAP. II, III, IV. 
 
 Apocrypha 
 
 18 And if the king Sennacherib had slain any, when he was 
 come, and fled from Judea, I buried them privily; for in his 
 wrath he killed many; but the bodies were not found, when they 
 were sought for of the king. 
 
 19 And when one of the Ninevitcs went and complained of 
 me to the king, that I buried them, and hid myself; understand- 
 iuc that I was sought, for to be put to death, I withdrew myself 
 for fear. 
 
 20 Then all my goods were forcibly taken away, neither was 
 there any thing left me, besides my"wife Anna and my son Tobias. 
 
 21 And there passed not five and fifty days before two of his 
 eons killed him, and they fled into the mountains of Ararath ; 
 and Sarchedonus his son reigned in his stead; who appointed 
 over his father's accounts, and over all his affairs, Achiacharus 
 my brother Anael's son. 
 
 22 And Achiacharus entreating for me, I returned to Nin.eve. 
 Now Achiacharus was cup-bearer, and keeper of the signet, and 
 steward, and overseer of the accounts : and Sarchedonus ap- 
 pointed him next, unto him : and he was my brother's son. 
 
 CHAPTER II. 
 
 3 Tobit leaveth his meat to bury the dead, 10 and becometh blind. 
 11 His wife taketh in work to get her living. 14 Her husband and 
 she fall out about a kid. 
 
 NOW when I was come home again, and my wife Anna was 
 restored unto me, with my son Tobias, in the feast of Pen- 
 tecost, which is the holy feast of the seven weeks, there was a 
 good dinner prepared me, in the which I sat down to eat. 
 
 2 And when I saw abundance of meat, I said to my son, Go 
 and bring what poor man soever thou shalt find out of our 
 brethren, who is mindful of the Lord; and lo, I tarry for thee. 
 
 3 But he came again, and said, Father, one of our nation is 
 strangled, and is cast out in the market-place. 
 
 4 Then before I had tasted of any meat, I started up, and took 
 him up into a room until the going down of the sun. 
 
 5 Then I returned, and washed myself, and ate my meat in 
 heaviness, 
 
 6 Remembering that prophecy of Amos, as he said, Your 
 feasts shall be turned into mourning, and all your mirth into 
 lamentation. 
 
 7 Therefore I wept : and after the going down of the sun I 
 went and made a grave, and buried him. 
 
 8 But my neighbours mocked me, and said, This man is not 
 yet afraid to be put to death for this matter: who fled away; 
 and yet lo, he burieth the dead again. 
 
 9 The same night also I returned from the burial, and slept 
 by the wall of my court-yard, being polluted, and my face was 
 uncovered : 
 
 10 And I knew not that there were sparrows in the wall, and 
 mine eyes being open, the sparrows muted warm dung into mine 
 eyes, and a whiteness came in mine eyes; and I went to the 
 physicians, but they helped me not : moreover, Achiacharus did 
 nourish me, until I went into Elymais. 
 
 11 And my wife Anna did take women's works to do. 
 
 12 And when she had sent them home to the owners, they 
 paid her wages, and gave her also besides a kid. 
 
 13 And when it was in my house, and began to cry, I said 
 unto her, From whence is this kid ? is it not stolen ? render it 
 to the owners; for it is not lawful to eat any thing that is stolen. 
 
 14 But she replied upon me, It was given for a gift more than 
 the wages. Howbeit I did not believe her, but made her render 
 it to the owners : and I was abashed at her. But she replied 
 ipon me, Where are thine alms and thy righteous deeds ? behold, 
 thou and all thy works are known. 
 
 CHAPTER III. 
 
 1 Tobit, grieved with his wife's taunts, prayeth. 11 Sara, reproached 
 by her father's maids, prayeth also. 17 An angel is sent to help 
 them both. 
 
 ■yHEN I being grieved did weep, and in my sorrow prayed, 
 
 
 saying, 
 
 2 Lord, thou art just, and all thy works and all thy ways 
 are mercy and truth, and thou judgest truly and justly for ever. 
 
 3 Remember me, and look on me, punish me not for my sins 
 and ignorances, and ihc sins of my fathers, who have sinned 
 before thee : 
 
 4 For they obeyed not thy commandments : wherefore thou 
 hast delivered us for a spoil, and unto captivity, and unto death, 
 and for a proverb of reproach to all the nations among whom we 
 are dispersed. 
 
 5 Aud now thy judgments are many and true : deal with m 
 according to my sins and my fathers' : because we have not kepi 
 thy commandments, neither have walked in truth before thee. 
 
 6 Now therefore deal with me as seemeth best unto thee, and 
 command my spirit to be taken from me, that I may be dissolved 
 and become earth : for it is profitable for me to die rather than 
 to live, because I have heard false reproaches, and have much 
 sorrow: command therefore that I may now be delivered out of 
 this distress, and go into the everlasting place : turn not thy face 
 away from me. 
 
 7 It came to pass the same day, that in Ecbatane a city of 
 Media, Sara the daughter of Raguel was also reproached by her 
 father's maids; 
 
 8 Because that she had been married to seven husbands, whom 
 Asmodeus the evil spirit had killed before they had lien with 
 her. Dost thou not know, said they, that thou hast strangled 
 thine husbands ? thou hast had already seven husbands, neither 
 wast thou named after any of them. 
 
 9 Wherefore dost thou beat us for them ? if they he dead, go 
 thy ways after them, let us never see of thee either son or 
 daughter. 
 
 10 When she heard these things, she was very sorrowful, so 
 that she thought to have strangled herself; and she said, I au. 
 the only daughter of my father, and if I do this, it shall be a re- 
 proach unto him, and I shall bring his old age with sorrow unto 
 the grave. 
 
 11 Then she prayed towards the window, and said, Blessed 
 art thou, Lord my God, and thine holy and glorious name is 
 blessed and honourable for ever : let all thy works praise thee 
 for ever. 
 
 12 And now, Lord, I set mine eyes and my face towards 
 thee, 
 
 13 And say, Take me out of the earth, that I may hear do 
 more the reproach. 
 
 14 Thou knowest, Lord, that I am pure from all sin with 
 man, 
 
 15 And that I never polluted my name, nor the name of my 
 father, in the land of my captivity : I am the only daughter of 
 my father, neither hath he any child to be his heir, neither any 
 near kinsman, nor any son of his alive, to whom I may keep 
 myself for a wife : my seven husbands are already dead ; and 
 why should I live ? but if it please not thee that I should die, 
 command some regard to be had of me, and pity taken of me, 
 that I hear no more reproach. 
 
 16 So the prayers of them both were heard before the majesty 
 of the great God. 
 
 17 And Raphael was sent to heal them both, that is, to scale 
 away the whiteness of Tobit's eyes, and to give Sara the daughter 
 of Raguel for a wife to Tobias the sou of Tobit; and to bind As- 
 modeus the evil spirit; because she belonged to Tobias by right 
 of inheritance. The self-same time came Tobit home, and entered 
 into his house, and Sara the daughter of Raguel came down from 
 her upper chamber. 
 
 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 3 Tobit giveth instructions to his son Tobias, 20 and telleth him of 
 money left with Gabael in Media. 
 
 IN that day Tobit remembered the money which he had com- 
 mitted to Gabael in Rages of Media, 
 
 2 And said with himself, I have wished for death; whertfore 
 do I not call for my son Tobias, that I may signify to him of 
 the money before I die ? .

 8 And when ho had called him, lie said, My son, when I am 
 dead, bury me; and despise not thy mother, but honour her all 
 the days of thy life, and do that which shall please her, and grieve 
 ner not. 
 
 4 Remember, my son, that she saw many dangers for thee, 
 when thou wast, in her womb; and when she is dead, bury her 
 by me in one grave. 
 ' 5 My son, be mindful of the Lord our God all thy days, and 
 et not thy will be set to sin, or to transgress his commandments : 
 \o uprightly all thy life long, and follow not the ways of un- 
 righteousness. 
 
 6 For if thou deal truly, thy doings shall prosperously succeed 
 to thee, and to all them that live justly. 
 
 7 Give alms of thy substance ; and when thou givest alms. 
 let not thine eye be envious, neither turn thy face from any poor, 
 aud the face of God shall not be turned away from thee. 
 
 8 If thou hast abundance, give alms accordingly : if thou 
 have but a little, be not afraid to give according to that little. 
 
 9 For thou layest up a good treasure for thyself against tho 
 day of necessity. 
 
 10 Because that alms do deliver from death, and suffereth not 
 to come into darkness. 
 
 11 For alms is a good gift unto all that give it in the sight 
 of the Most High. 
 
 12 Beware of all whoredom, my son, and chiefly take a wife 
 of the seed of thy fathers, and ta'ke not a strange woman to wife, 
 which is not of thy father's tribe : for we are the children of the 
 prophets, Noe, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob : remember, my son, 
 that our fathers from the beginning, even that they all married 
 wives of their own kindred, and were blessed in their children, 
 aud their seed shall inherit the land. 
 
 13 Now therefore, my son, love thy brethren, and despise not 
 in thy heart thy brethren, the sons and daughters of thy people, 
 in not iaking a wife of them : for in pride is destruction and 
 much trouble, and in lewdness is decay and great want : for 
 lewdness is the mother of famine. 
 
 14 Let not the wages of any man, which hath wrought for 
 thee, tarry with thee, but give him it out of hand : for if thou 
 serve God, he will also repay thee : be circumspect, my son, in 
 all things thou doest. and be wise in all thy conversation. 
 
 15 Do that to no man which thou hatest : drink not wine to 
 make thee drunken : neither let drunkenness go with thee in 
 thy journey. 
 
 16 Give of thy bread to the hungry, and of thy garments to 
 them that are naked; and according to thine abundance give 
 alms ; and let not thine eye be envious, when thou givest alms. 
 
 17 Pour out thy bread on the burial of the just, but give 
 nothing to the wicked. 
 
 18 Ask counsel of all tnat are wise, and despise not any coun- 
 sel that is profitable. 
 
 19 Bless the Lord thy God always, and desire of him that 
 thy ways may be directed, and that all thy paths and counsels 
 may prosper : for every nation hath not counsel ; but the Lord 
 himself giveth all good things, and he humbleth whom he will, 
 us he will ; now therefore, my son, remember my commaudments, 
 neither let them be put out of thy mind. 
 
 20 And now I signify this to thee, that I committed ten tal- 
 ents to Gabael the son of Gabrias at Rages in Media. 
 
 21 And fear not, my son, that we are made poor: for thou 
 hast much wealth, if thou fear God, and depart from all sin, and 
 do that which is pleasing in his sight. 
 
 CHAPTER V. 
 
 4 Young Tobias seeketh a guide into Media. 6 The angel will go with 
 him, 12 and saith he is his kinsman. 16 Tobias and the angel de- 
 part together 17 But his mother is grieved for her son's departing. 
 
 f TOBIAS then answered and said, Father, I will do all things 
 ■L which thou hast commanded me : 
 
 2 But how can I receive the money, seeing I know him 
 oot ? 
 
 3 Then he gave him the hand-writing, and said unto him, 
 
 28 
 
 Seek thee a man which may go with thee, while I yet live, and 
 I will give him wages : and go and receive the money. 
 
 4 Therefore when he went to seek a man. he found Ranhael 
 that was an angel. 
 
 5 But he knew not; and he said unto him, Canst thou go 
 with me to Rages? and knowest thou those places well? 
 
 6 To whom the angel said, I will go with thee, and I know 
 the way well : for I have lodged with our brother Gabael. 
 
 7 Then Tobias said unto him, Tarry for me, till I tell my 
 father. 
 
 8 Then he said unto him, Go, and tarry not. So he went in 
 and said to his father, Behold, I have found one which will g-j 
 with me. Then he said, Call him unto me, that I may know of 
 what tribe he is, and whether he be a trusty man to go with 
 thee. 
 
 9 So he called him, and he came in, and they saluted one 
 another. 
 
 10 Then Tobit said unto him, Brother, show me of what tribe 
 and family thou art. 
 
 11 To whom he said, Dost thou seek for a tribe or family, or 
 an hired man to go with thy son ? Then Tobit said unto him, 
 I would know, brother, thy kindred and name. 
 
 12 Then he said, I am Azarias, the son of Ananias the great, 
 and of thy brethren. 
 
 13 Then Tobit said, Thou art welcome, brother ; be not now 
 angry with me, because I have inquired to know thy tribe and 
 thy family; for thou art my brother, of an honest and good 
 stock: for I know Ananias and Jqnathas, sons of that great 
 Samaias, as we went together to Jerusalem to worship, and offer- 
 ed the first-born, and the tenths of the fruits ; and they were not 
 seduced with the error of our brethren : my brother, thou art of 
 a good stock. 
 
 14 But tell me, what wages shall I give thee ? will thou a 
 drachm a day, and things necessary, as to mine own son ? 
 
 15 Yea, moreover, if ye return safe, I will add something to 
 thy wages. 
 
 16 So they were well pleased. Then said he to Tobias, Pre- 
 pare thyself for the journey r , and God send you a good journey. 
 And when his son had prepared all things for the journey, his 
 father said, Go thou with this man, and God, which dwelleth in 
 heaven, prosper your journey, and the angel of God keep you 
 company. So they went forth both, and the young man's dog 
 with them. 
 
 17 But Anna his mother wept, and said to Tobit, Why hast 
 thou sent away our son ? is he not the staff of our hand, in going 
 in and out before us ? 
 
 18 Be not greedy to add money to money, but let it be as re* 
 fuse in respect to our child. 
 
 19 For that which the Lord hath given us to live with, doth 
 suffice us. 
 
 20 Then said Tobit to her, Take no care, my sister ; he shall 
 return in safety, and thine eyes shall see him. 
 
 21 For the good angel will keep him company, and his jour 
 ney shall be prosperous, and he shall return safe. 
 
 22 Then she made an end of weeping. 
 
 CHAPTER VI. 
 
 4 The angel biddeth Tobias to take the liver, heart, and gall out ot a 
 fish, 10 and to marry Sara the daughter of Raguel : 16 and teachelh 
 how to drive the wicked spirit away. 
 
 AND as they went on their journey, they came in the evening 
 to the river Tigris, and they lodged there. 
 
 2 And when the young man went down to wash himself, a 
 fish leaped out of the river, and would have devoured him. 
 
 3 Then the angel said unto him, Take the fish. And tho 
 young man laid hold of the fish, and drew it to land. 
 
 4 To whom the angel said, Open the fish, and take the heart 
 and the liver and the gall, and put them up safely. 
 
 5 So the young man did as the angel commanded him ; and 
 when they had roasted the fish, they did eat, it : then they both 
 went on their way, till they drew near to Eebatane 
 
Apocrypha. 
 
 CHAP. VII, VIII 
 
 Aporryph*. 
 
 6 Then tho young man said to the angel, Brother Azarias, to 
 what use is tho heart and the liver and the gall of the fish? 
 
 7 And he said unto him, Touching the heart and the liver, if 
 n devil or an evil spirit trouhle any, we must make a smoke there- 
 of before the man or the woman, and the party shall be no more 
 vexed. 
 
 8 As for the gall, it is good to anoint a man that hath white- 
 ness in his eyes, and he shall be healed. 
 
 9 And when they were come near to Rages, 
 
 10 The angel said to the young man, Brother, to-day we shall 
 lodge with Raguel, who is thy cousin ; he also hath one only 
 daughter, named Sara; I will speak for her, that she may be 
 given thee for a wife. 
 
 11 For to thee doth the right of her appertain, seeing thou 
 only art of her kindred. 
 
 12 And the maid is fair and wise : now therefore hear me, 
 and I will speak to her father ; and wheu we return from Rages 
 we will celebrate the marriage : for I know that Raguel cannot 
 marry her to another according to the law of Moses, but he shall 
 be guilty of death, because the right of inheritance doth rather 
 appertain to thee than to any other. 
 
 13 Then the young man answered the angel, I have heard, 
 6rother Azarias, that this maid hath been given to seven men, 
 who all died in the marriage-chamber. 
 
 14 And now I am the only son of my father, and I am afraid, 
 lest, if I go in unto her, I die, as the other before : for a wicked 
 spirit loveth her, which hurtcth nobody, but those which come 
 unto her : wherefore I also fear lest I die, and bring my father's 
 and my mother's life, because of me, to the grave with sorrow : 
 for they have no other son to bury them. 
 
 15 Then the angel said unto him. Dost thou not remember 
 the precepts which thy father gave thee, that thou shouldest 
 marry a wife of thine own kindred ? wherefore hear me, my 
 brother ; for she shall be given thee to wife ; and make thou no 
 reckoning of the evil spirit; for this same night shall she be 
 given thee in marriage. 
 
 16 And when thou shalt come into the marriage-chamber, 
 thou shalt take the ashes of perfume, and shalt lay upon them 
 some of the heart and liver of the fish, and shalt make a smoke 
 with it : 
 
 17 And the devil shall smell it, and flee away, and never come 
 again any more : but when thou shalt come to her, rise up both 
 of you, and pray to God which is merciful, who will have pity 
 on you, and save you : fear not, for she is appointed unto thee 
 from the beginning? and thou shalt preserve her, and she shall 
 go with thee. Moreover, I suppose that she shall bear thee 
 children. Now when Tobias had heard these things, he loved 
 her, and his heart was effectually joined to her. 
 
 CHAPTER VII. 
 
 1 1 Raguel telleth Tobias what had happened to his daughter ; 12 and 
 giveth her in marriage unto him. 17 She is conveyed to her cham- 
 ber, and weepeth. 18 Her mother comforteth her. 
 
 AND when they were come to Ectabane, they came to the 
 house of Raguel, and Sara met them ; and after they had 
 saluted one another, she brought them into the house. 
 
 2 Then said Raguel to Edna his wife, How like is this young 
 man to Tobit my cousin ! 
 
 3 And Raguel asked them, From whence are ye brethren ? 
 To whom they said, We are of the sons of Nephthali, which are 
 captives in Nineve. 
 
 4 Theu he said to them, Do ye know Tobit our kinsman ? and 
 they said, We know him. Then said he, Is he in good health ? 
 
 5 And they said, He is both alive and in good health and 
 Tobias said, He is my father. 
 
 6 Then Raguel leaped up, and kissed him, and wept, 
 
 7 And blessed him. and said unto him, Thou art the son of 
 an honest and good man : but when he had heard that Tobit was 
 blind, he was sorrowful and wept. 
 
 8 And likewise Edna his wife and Sara his daughter wept. 
 
 Moreover, they entertained them cheerfully; and after that they 
 hail killed a ram of t lie flock, they set store of meat on the table. 
 
 Then said Tobias to Raphael, Brother Azarias, speak of tii 
 things of which thou didst talk in the way, and let this business 
 lie dispatched. 
 
 9 So he communicated the matter with Raguel : and Raguel 
 said to Tobias, Eat and drink, and make merry : 
 
 10 For it is meet that thou shouldest marry my daughter* 
 nevertheless, I will declare unto thee the truth. 
 
 11 I have given my daughter in marriage to seven men, win. 
 died that night they ca...3 in unto her : nevertheless, for tho 
 present be merry. But Tobias said, I will eat nothing here, till 
 we agree and swear one to another. 
 
 12 Raguel said, Then take her from henceforth according to 
 the manner, for thou art her cousin, and she is thine, and the 
 merciful God give you good success in all things. 
 
 13 Then he called his daughter Sara, and she came to her 
 father, and he took her by the hand, and gave her to be wife to 
 Tobias, saying, Behold, take her after the law of Moses, and lead 
 her away to thy father. And he blessed them ; 
 
 14 And called Edna his wife, and took paper, and did write 
 an instrument of covenants, and sealed it. 
 
 15 Then they began to eat. 
 
 16 After Raguel called his wife Edna, and said un*o her, 
 Sister, prepare another chamber, and bring her in thither. 
 
 17 Which when she had done as he had bidden her, she 
 brought her thither : and she wept, and she received the tears 
 of her daughter, and said unto her, 
 
 18 Be of good comfort, ray daughter : the Lord of heaven and 
 earth give thee joy for this thy sorrow : be of good comfort, my 
 
 daughter. 
 
 CHAPTER VIII. 
 
 3 Tobias driveth the -wicked spirit away, as he was taught: 4 He and 
 his wife rise up to pray. 10 Raguel thought he was dead : 15 bu' 
 finding him alive, praiseth God, 19 and maketh a wedding-feast. 
 
 A ND when they had supped, they brought Tobias in unto 
 -i-J- her. 
 
 2 And as he went he remembered the words of Raphael, and 
 took the ashes of the perfumes, and put the heart and the liver 
 of the fish thereupon, and made a smoke therewith. 
 
 3 The which smell when the evil spirit had smelled, he fled 
 into the uttermost parts of Egypt, and the angel bound him. 
 
 4 And after that they were both shut in together, Tobias rose 
 out of the bed, and said, Sister, arise, and let us pray that God 
 would have pity on U3. 
 
 5 Then began Tobias to say, Blessed art thou, God of our 
 fathers, and blessed is thy holy and glorious name for ever; let 
 the heavens bless thee, and all thy creatures. 
 
 6 Thou madest Adam, and gavest him Eve his wife for an 
 helper and stay : of them came mankind : thou hast said, It is 
 not good that man should be alone ; let us make unto him an 
 aid like unto himself. 
 
 7 And now, Lord, I take not this my sister for lust, but 
 uprightly : therefore mercifully ordain that we may become aged 
 together. 
 
 8 And she said with him, Amen. 
 
 t 9 So they slept both that night. And Raguel arose, and 
 went and made a grave, 
 
 10 Saying, I fear lest he also be dead. 
 
 11 But when Raguel was come into his house, 
 
 12 He said unto his wife Edna, Send one of the maids, and 
 let her see whether he be alive : if he he not, that we may bury 
 him, and no man know it. 
 
 13 So the maid opened the door, and went in, and found them 
 both asleep, 
 
 14 And came forth, and told them that he was alive. 
 
 15 Then Raguel praised God, and said, God, thou art 
 worthy to be praised with all pure and holy praise ; therefore let 
 thy saints praise thee with all thy creatures «md let all thinr 
 angels and thine elect praise thee for cvr

 10 Thou art to bo praised, for thou hast made me joyful; ana 
 that is uot come to me which I suspected ; but thou hast dealt 
 with us according to thy great mercy. 
 
 17 Thou art to be praised, because thou hast had mercy of 
 two that were the only-begotten children of their fathers : grant 
 them mercy, Lord, and finish their life in health with joy 
 and mercy. 
 
 18 Then Raguel bade his servants to fill the grave. 
 
 19 And he kept the wedding-feast fourteen days. 
 
 20 For before the days of the marriage were finished, Raguel 
 ad said unto him by an oath, that he should not depart till the 
 
 fourteen days of the marriage were expired ; 
 
 21 And then he should take the half of his goods, and go in 
 safety to his father; and should have the rest when I and my 
 wife be dead. 
 
 CHAPTER IX. 
 
 1 Tobias sendeth the angel unto Gabael for the money : 6 The angel 
 bringeth it and Gabael to the wedding. 
 
 THEN Tobias called Raphael, and said unto him, 
 2 Brother Azarias, take with thee a servant, and two camels, 
 and go to Rages of Media, to Gabael, and bring me the money, 
 and bring him to the wedding. ■ 
 
 3 For Raguel hath sworn that I shall not depart. 
 
 4 But my father counteth the days ; and if I tarry long, he 
 will be very sorry. 
 
 5 So Raphael went out, and lodged with Gabael, and gave 
 him the hand-writing : who brought forth bags which were seal- 
 ed up, and gave them to him, 
 
 6 And early in the morning they went forth both together, 
 and came to the weddiug : and Tobias blessed his wife. 
 
 CHAPTER X. 
 
 J Tobit and his wife long for their son : 7 She will not be comforted by 
 her husband. 10 Raguel sendeth Tobias and his wife away with 
 half their goods, 12 and blesseth them. 
 
 NOW Tobit his father counted every day : and when the days 
 of the journey were expired, and they came not, 
 
 2 Then Tobit said, Are they detained ? of is Gabael dead, and 
 thero is no man to give him the money 1 
 
 3 Therefore he was very sorry. 
 
 4 Then his wife said unto him, My son is dead, seeing he 
 stayeth long ; and she began to bewail him, and said, 
 
 5 Now I care for nothing, my son, since I have let thee go, 
 the light of mine eyes, 
 
 6 To whom Tobit said, Hold thy peace, take no care, for he 
 is safe. 
 
 7 But she said, Hold thy peace, and deceive me not ; my son 
 is dead. And she went out every day into the way which they 
 went, and did eat no meat on the day-time, and ceased not whole 
 nights to bewail her son Tobias, until the fourteen days of the 
 wedding were expired, which Raguel had sworn that he should 
 ppend there. Then Tobias said to Raguel, Let me go, for my 
 father and my mother look no more to see me. 
 
 3 But his father-in-law said unto him, Tarry with me, and I 
 will send to thy father, and they shall declare unto him hojv 
 things go with thee. 
 
 9 But Tobias said, No; but let me go to my father. 
 
 10 Then Raguel arose, and gave him Sara his wife, and half 
 his goods, servants, and cattle, and money : 
 
 11 And he blessed them, and sent them away, saying, The 
 God of heaven give you a prosperous journey, my children. 
 
 12 And he said to his daughter, Honour thy father and thy 
 mother-in-law, which are now thy parents, that I may hear good 
 report of thee. And he kissed her. Edna also said to Tobias, 
 The Lord of heaven restore thee, my dear brother, and grant that 
 I may see thy children of my daughter Sara before I die, that I 
 may rejoice before the Lord : behold, I commit my daughter unto 
 thee of special trust; wherefore do not entreat her evil. 
 
 30 
 
 CHAPTER XT. 
 
 6 Tobias's mother spieth her eon coming: 10 his father meeteth him 
 at the door, and recovrretb his sight: 14 He praiseth God, 17 aud 
 welcometh his daughter-in-law. 
 
 AFTER these things Tobias went his way, praising God 
 that he had given him a prosperous journey, and blessed 
 Raguel and Edna his wife, and went on his way till they drew 
 near unto Nineve. 
 
 2 Then Raphael said to Tobias, Thou knowest, brother, how 
 thou didst leave thy father : 
 
 3 Let us haste before thy wife, and prepare the house. 
 
 4 And take in thine hand the gall of the fish. So they went 
 their way, and the dog went after them. 
 
 5 Now Anna sat looking about towards the way for her sou. 
 
 6 And when she espied him coming, she said to his father, 
 Behold, thy son cometh, and the man that went with him. 
 
 7 Then said Raphael, I know, Tobias, that thy father will 
 open his eyes. 
 
 8 Therefore anoint thou his eyes with the gall, and being 
 pricked therewith, he shall rub, and the whiteness shall fall away, 
 and he shall see thee. 
 
 9 Then Anna ran forth, and fell upon the neck of her son, 
 and said unto him, Seeing I have seen thee, my son, from hence- 
 forth I am content to die. And they wept both. 
 
 10 Tobit also went forth towards the door, and stumbled ; but 
 his son ran unto him, 
 
 11 And took hold of his father; and he strake of the gall on 
 his father's eyes, saying, Be of good hope, my father. 
 
 12 And when his eyes began to smart, he rubbed them ; 
 
 13 And the whiteness pilled away from the corners of his 
 eyes : and when he saw his son, he fell upon his neck. 
 
 14 And he wept, and said, Blessed art thou, O God, and 
 blessed is thy name for ever ; and blessed are all thine holy 
 angels : 
 
 15 For tnou hast scourged, and hast taken pity on me: for 
 behold, I see my son Tobias. And his son went in rejoicing, 
 and told his father the great things that had happened to him in 
 Media. 
 
 16 Then Tobit went out to meet his daughter-in-law at the 
 gate of Nineve, rejoicing, and praising God : and they which saw 
 him go marvelled, because he had received his sight. 
 
 17 But Tobit gave thanks before them, because God had 
 mercy on him. And when he came neai to Sara his daughter-in- 
 law, he blessed her, saying, Thou art welcome, daughter : God 
 be blessed, which hath brought thee unto us, and blessed be thy 
 father and thy mother. And there was joy among all his breth- 
 ren which were at Nineve. 
 
 18 And Achiacharus, and Nasbas his brother's son, came : 
 
 19 And Tobias's wedding was kept seven days with great joy. 
 
 CHAPTER XII. 
 
 5 Tobit offereth half to the angel for his pains. 6 But he calleth them 
 both aside, and exhorteth them, 15 and telleth them that he was an 
 angel, 21 and was seen no more. 
 
 I^HEN Tobit called his son Tobias, and said unto him, My son, 
 - see that the man have his wages, which went with thee, and 
 thou must give him more. 
 
 2 And Tobias said unto him, O father, it is no harm to me to 
 give him half of those things which I have brought : 
 
 3 For he hath brought me again to thee in safety, and mad* 
 whole my wife, and brought me the money, and likewise healed 
 thee. 
 
 4 Then the old man said, It is due unto him. 
 
 5 So he called the angel, and he said unto him, Take half of 
 all that ye have brought, and go away in safety. 
 
 6 Then he took them both apart, and said unto them, Blesa 
 God, praise him, and magnify him, and praise him for the thing9 
 which he hath done unto you in the sight of all that live. It is 
 good to praise God, and exalt his name, and honourably to show 
 forth the works of God ; therefore be not slack to praise him.

 7 It is good to keep close the secret of a king, but it is hon- 
 ourable to reveal the works of God. Do that which is good, and 
 no evil shall touch you. 
 
 8 Prayer is good with fasting, and alms, and righteousness. 
 A little with righteousness is better than much with unrighteous- 
 ness. It is better to give alms than to lay up gold : 
 
 9 For alms doth deliver from death, and shall purge away all 
 sin. Those that exercise alms and righteousness shall be tilled 
 with life : 
 
 10 But they that sin are enemies to their own life. 
 
 11 Surely I will keep close nothing from you. For I said, 
 It was good to keep close the secret of a king, but that it was 
 honourable to reveal the works of God. 
 
 12 Now therefore, when thou didst pray, and Sara thy 
 daughter-in-law, I did bring the remembrance of your prayers 
 before the Holy One : and when thou didst bury the dead, I 
 was with thee likewise. 
 
 13 And when thou didst not delay to rise up, and leave thy 
 dinner, to go and cover the dead, thy good deed was not hid from 
 me : but I was with thee. 
 
 14 And now God hath sent me to heal thee and Sara thy 
 daughter-in-law. 
 
 15 I am Raphael, one of the seven holy angels, which present 
 the prayers of the saints, and which go in and out before the 
 glory of the Holy One. 
 
 16 Then they were both troubled, and fell upon their faces : 
 for they feared. 
 
 17 But he said unto them, Fear not, for it shall go well with 
 you; praise God therefore. 
 
 IS F^r not of any favour of mine, but by the will of our God 
 E came ; wherefore praise him for ever. 
 
 19 All these days I did appear unto you ; but I did neither 
 eat nor drink, but ye did see a vision. 
 
 20 Now therefore give God thanks ; for I go up to him that 
 sent me ; but write all things which are done in a book. 
 
 21 And when they arose, they saw him no more. 
 
 22 Then they confessed the great and wonderful works of 
 God, and how the angel of the Lord had appeared unto them. 
 
 CHAPTER XIII. 
 
 The thanksgiving unto God which Tobit wrote. 
 
 THEN Tobit wrote a prayer of rejoicing, and said, Blessed be 
 God that liveth for ever, and blessed be his kingdom. 
 
 2 For he doth scourge, and hath mercy : he leadeth down to 
 hell, and bringeth up agaiu : neither is there any that can avoid 
 his hand. 
 
 3 Confess him before the Gentiles, ye children of Israel : for 
 he hath scattered us among them. 
 
 4 There declare his greatness, and extol him before all the 
 living : for he is our Lord, and he is the God our Father for 
 ever. 
 
 5 And he will scourge us for our iniquities, and will have 
 mercy again, and will gather us out of all nations, among whom 
 he hath scattered us. 
 
 6 If ye turn to him with your whole heart, and with your 
 whole mind, and deal uprightly before him, then will he turn 
 unto you, and will not hide his face from you. Therefore see 
 what he will do with you, and confess him with your whole 
 mouth, and praise the Lord of might, and extol the everlasting 
 King. In the land of my captivity do I praise him, and declare 
 his might and majesty to a sinful nation. ye sinners, turn 
 and do justice before him : who can tell if he will accept you, 
 and have mercy on you ? 
 
 7 I will extol my God, and my soul shall praise the King of 
 heaven, and shall rejoice in his greatness. 
 
 8 Let all men speak, and let all praise him for his righteous- 
 ness. 
 
 9 Jerusalem, the holy city, he will scourge thee for thy 
 children's works, and will have mercy again on the sons ol the 
 righteous. 
 
 10 Give praise to the Lord, for he is good : and praise the 
 everlasting King, that his tabernacle may be builded in thee 
 again with joy, and let him make joyful there in thee those that 
 are captives, and love in thee for ever those that are miser- 
 able. 
 
 11 Many nations shall come from far to the name of the Lord 
 God with gifts in their hands, even gifts to the King of heaven ; 
 all generations shall praise thee with great joy. 
 
 12 Cursed are all they which hate thee, and blessed shall all 
 be which love thee for ever. 
 
 13 Rejoice and be glad for the children of the just: for tiny 
 shall be gathered together, and shall bless the Lord of the just 
 
 14 blessed are they which love thee, fur they shall rejoice 
 in thy peace : blessed are they which have been sorrowful for all 
 thy scourges; for they shall rejoice for thee, when they have seen 
 all thy glory, and shall be glad for ever. 
 
 15 Let my soul bless God the great King. 
 
 16 For Jerusalem shall be built up with sapphires, and eme- 
 ralds, and precious stone : thy walls, and towers, and battlements, 
 with pure gold. 
 
 17 And the streets of Jerusalem shall be paved with beryi, 
 and carbuncle, and stones of Ophir. 
 
 18 And all her streets shall say, Allelulia; and they shall 
 praise him, saying, Blessed be God, which hath extolled it foi 
 ever. 
 
 CHAPTER XIV. 
 
 8 Tobit giveth instructions to his son, 8 specially to leave Nineve ; 1 1 
 he and his wife die, and are buried. 12 Tobias removcth to Ecba 
 tane, 14 and there dieth, after he had heard of the destruction of 
 Nineve. 
 
 SO Tobit made an end of praising God. 
 2 And he was eight and fifty years old when he lost bis 
 sight, which was restored to him after eight years : and he gave 
 alms, and he increased in the fear of the Lord God, and praised 
 him. 
 
 3 And when he was very aged, he called his son, and the six 
 sons of his son, and said to him, My son, take thy children ; for 
 behold, I am aged, and am ready to depart out of this life. 
 
 4 Go into Media, my son, for I surely believe those things 
 which Jonas the prophet spake of Nineve, that it shall be over- 
 thrown; and that for a time peace shall rather be in Media; and 
 that our brethren shall lie scattered in the earth from that good 
 land : and Jerusalem shall be desolate, and the house of God in 
 it shall be burned, and shall be desolate for a time ; 
 
 5 And that again God will have mercy on them, and bring 
 them again into the land, where they shall build a temple, but 
 not like to the first, until the time of that age be fulfilled ; and 
 afterward they shall return from all places of their captivity, and 
 build up Jerusalem gloriously, and the house of God shall be 
 built in it for ever with a glorious building, as the prophets have 
 spoken thereof. 
 
 6 And all nations shall turn, and fear the Lord God truly, and 
 shall bury their idols. 
 
 7 So shall all nations praise the Lord, and bis people shall 
 confess God, and the Lord shall exalt his people; and all tLose 
 which love the Lord God in truth and justice shall rejoice, show- 
 ing mercy to our brethren. 
 
 8 And now, my son, depart out of Nineve, because that those 
 things which the prophet Jonas spake shall surely come to pass. 
 
 9 But keep thou the law and the commandments, and show 
 thyself merciful and just, that it may go well with thee. 
 
 10 And bury me decently, and thy mother with me; but tarry 
 no longer at Nineve. Remember, my son, how Aman handled 
 Achiacharus that brought him up, how out of light he brought 
 him into darkness, and how he rewarded him again : yet Achia- 
 charus was saved, but the other had his reward : for he went 
 down into darkness. Manasses gave alms, and escaped the 
 snares of death which they had set for him : but Aman fell into 
 the snare, and perished. 
 
 11 Wherefore now, my son, consider what alms doeth, and

 Dow righteousness doth deliver. 'When lie had said these things, 
 be ga%e up the ghost in the bed, being an hundred and eight and 
 fifty years old ; and he buried him honourably. 
 
 12 And when Anna his mother was dead, he buried her with 
 his father. But Tobias departed with his wife and children to 
 Eebatane to Ragucl his father-in-law, 
 
 13 Where he became old with honour, and he buried his 
 
 father and mother-in-law honourably, and he inherited their sub- 
 stance, and his father Tobit's. 
 
 14 And he died at Eebatane in Media, being an hundred and 
 seven and twenty years old. 
 
 15 But before he died, he heard of the destruction of Nineve, 
 which was taken by Nabuchodonosor and Assuerus : and before 
 his death he rejoiced over Nineve.

 CHAPTER I. 
 
 2 Arphaxad doth fortify Eebatane. 5 Nabuchodonosor maketh war 
 against him, 7 and craveth aid. 12 He threateneth those that would 
 not aid him. 15 and killeth Arphaxad, 16 and returncrh to Nineve. 
 
 IN the twelfth year of the reign of Nabuchodonosor, who reign- 
 ed in Nineve, the great city; in the days of Arphaxad, which 
 reigned over the Medes in Eebatane, 
 
 2 And built in Eebatane walls round about of stones hewn 
 three cubits broad and six cubits long, and made the height of 
 the wall seventy cubits, and the breadth thereof fifty cubits : 
 
 3 And set the towers thereof upon the gates of it, an hundred 
 cubits high, and the breadth thereof in the foundation threescore 
 cubits : 
 
 4 And he made the gates thereof, even gates that were raised 
 to the height of seventy cubits, and the breadth of them was 
 forty cubits, for the going forth of his mighty armies, and for the 
 setting in array of his footmen : 
 
 5 Even in those days king Nabuchodonosor made war with 
 king Arphaxad in the great plain, which is the plain in the bor- 
 ders of Ragau. 
 
 6 And there came unto him all they that dwelt in the hill- 
 country, and all they that dwelt by Euphrates, and Tigres, and 
 Hydaspes, and the plain of Arioch the king of the Elymeans, 
 and very many nations of the sons of Chelod, assembled them- 
 selves to the battle. 
 
 7 Then Nabuchodonosor king of the Assyrians sent unto all 
 that dwelt in Persia, and to all that dwelt westward, and to those 
 that dwelt in Cilicia, and Damascus, and Libanus, and Antili- 
 banus, and to all that dwelt upon the sea-coast, 
 
 8 And to those among the nations that were of Carmel, and 
 G-alaad, and the higher Galilee, and the great plain of Esdrelom, 
 
 9 And to all that were in Samaria and the cities thereof and 
 beyond Jordan unto Jerusalem, and Betane, and Chellus, and 
 Kades; and the river of Egypt, and Taphnes, and Ramesse, and 
 all the land of Gresem, 
 
 10 Until ye come beyond Tanis and Memphis, and to all the 
 inhabitants of Egypt, until ye come to the borders of Ethiopia. 
 
 11 But all the inhabitants of the land made light of the com- 
 mandment of Nabuchodonosor king of the Assyrians, neither 
 went they with him to the battle; for they were not afraid of 
 him : yea, he was before them as one man, and they sent away 
 his ambassadors from them without effect, and with disgrace. 
 
 12 Therefore Nabuchodonosor was very angry with all this 
 country, and sware by his throne and kingdom that he would 
 surely be avenged upon all those coasts of Cilicia, and Damascus, 
 and Syria, and that he would slay with the sword all the inhabi- 
 tants of the land of Moab, and the children of Amnion, and all 
 Judea, and all that "^ere in Egypt, till ye come to the borders of 
 the two seas. 
 
 13 Then he marched in battle array with his power against 
 king Arphaxad in the seventeenth year, and he prevailed in his 
 battle : for he overthrew all the power of Arphaxad, and all his 
 horsemen, and all his chariots, 
 
 14 And became lord of his cities, and came unto Eebatane, 
 and took the towers, and spoiled the streets thereof, and turned 
 the beauty thereof into shame 
 
 32 
 
 15 He took also Arphaxad in the mountains of Ragau, and 
 smote him through with bis darts, and destroyed him utterly that 
 day. 
 
 16 So he returned afterward to Nineve, both he and all his 
 company of sundry nations, being a very great multitude of men 
 of war, and there he took his ease, and banqueted, both he and 
 his army, an hundred and twenty days. 
 
 CHAPTER II. 
 
 4 Holoferr.es is appointed general, 11 and ch-arged to spare non^ that 
 will not yield: 15 His army and provision: 23 the places which ha 
 won and wasted as he went. 
 
 AND in the eighteenth year, the two and twentieth day of the 
 first month, there was talk in the huuse of Nabuchodonosor 
 king of the Assyrians, that he should, as he said, avenge himself 
 on all the earth. 
 
 2 So he called unto him all his officers, and all his nobles, and 
 communicated with them his secret counsel, and concluded the 
 afflicting of the whole earth out of his own mouth. 
 
 3 Then they decreed to destroy all flesh that did not obey the 
 commandment of his mouth. 
 
 4 And when he had ended his counsel, Nabuchodonosor king 
 of the Assyrians called Holofernes the chief captain of his army, 
 which was next unto him, and said unto him, 
 
 5 Thus saith the great king, the lord of the whole earth, Be- 
 hold, thou shalt go forth from my presence, and take with thee 
 men that trust in their own strength, of footmen an hundred and 
 twenty thousand; and the number of horses with their riders 
 twelve thousand. 
 
 6 And thou shalt go against all the west country, because they 
 disobeyed my commandment. 
 
 7 And thou shalt declare unto them, that they prepare for mo 
 earth and water : for I will go forth in my wrath against them, 
 and will cover the whole face of the earth with the feet of mine 
 army, and I will give them for a spoil unto them : 
 
 8 So that their slain shall fill their valleys and brooks, and 
 the river shall be filled with their dead, till it overflow : 
 
 9 And I will lead them captives to the uttermost parts of all 
 the earth. 
 
 10 Thou therefore shalt go forth, and take beforehand from 
 me all their coasts : and if they will yield themselves unto thee 
 thou shalt reserve them for me till the day of their punishment 
 
 11 But concerning them that rebel, let not thine eye spare 
 them ; but put them to the slaughter, and spoil them whereso- 
 ever thou goest. 
 
 12 For as I live, and by the power of my kingdom, whatsoever 
 I have spoken, that will I do by mine hand. 
 
 13 And take thou heed that thou transgress none of the com- 
 mandments of thy lord, but accomplish them fully, as I have 
 commanded thee, and defer not to do them. 
 
 14 Then Holofernes went forth from the presence of his lord, 
 and called all the governors and captains, and the officers of the 
 army of Assur; 
 
 15 And he mustered the chosen men for the battle, as his lord 
 had commanded him, unto an hundred and twenty thousand, and 
 twelve thousand archers on horseback ;

 chap, in, iv, v. 
 
 Apocrypha 
 
 16 And he ranged them, as a great army is ordered for the 
 war. 
 
 17 And he took camels and asses for their carriages, a very 
 great number ; and sheep, and oxen, and goats without number, 
 for their provision : 
 
 18 And plenty of victual for every man of the army, and very 
 much gold and silver out of the king's bouse. 
 
 19 Then he went forth and all his power to go before king 
 Mubunhodouosor in the voyage, and to cover all the face of the 
 earth westward with the chariots, and horsemen, and their chosen 
 footmen. 
 
 20 A great multitude also of sundry countries came with them 
 like locusts, and like the sand of tbo earth, for the multitude 
 was without number. 
 
 21 And they went forth of Nineve three days' journey to- 
 wards the plain of Bectileth, and pitched from Bectileth near 
 tbe mountain which is at the left baud of tbe upper Cilicia. 
 
 22 Then he took all his army, his footmen, and horsemen, 
 and chariots, and went from thence into tbe bill country; 
 
 23 And destroyed Phud and Lud, and spoiled all tbe children 
 of Rasses, and the children of Ismael, which were towards tbe 
 wilderness at the south of tbe laud of the Chellians. 
 
 24 Then he went over Euphrates, and went through Mesopo- 
 tamia, and destroyed all tbe high cities that were upon tbe river 
 Arbonai, till ye come to tbe sea. 
 
 25 And be took the borders of Cilicia, and killed all that 
 resisted him, and came to the borders of Japheth, which were 
 towards the south, over against Arabia. 
 
 26 He compassed also all the children of Madian, and burned 
 up their tabernacles, and spoiled their sheep-cotes. 
 
 27 Then he went down into tbe plain of Damascus in the time 
 of wheat harvest, and burned up all their fields, and destroyed 
 their flocks and herds, also he spoiled their cities, and utterly 
 wasted their countries, and smote all their young men with the 
 edge of the sword. 
 
 28 Therefore the fear and dread of him fell upon all the in- 
 habitants of the sea-coasts, which were in Sidon and Tyrus, and 
 them that dwelt in Sur and Ocina, and all that dwelt in Jem- 
 naan; and they that dwelt in Azotus and Ascalon feared him 
 greatly. 
 
 CHAPTER III. 
 
 1 They of the sea-coast entreat for peace. 7 Holofernes is received 
 there : 8 yet he destroyeth their gods, that they might worship only 
 Nabuchodonosor: 9 He cometh near to Judea. 
 
 Q(_) they sent ambassadors unto him to treat of peace, saying, 
 ^~J 2 Behold, we the servants of Nabuchodonosor tbe great king 
 lie before thee; use us as shall be good in thy sight. 
 
 3 Behold, our houses, and all our places, and all our fields of 
 wheat, and flocks and herds, and all the lodges of our tents, lie 
 before thy face ; use them as it pleaseth thee. 
 
 4 Behold, even our cities and the inhabitants thereof are thy 
 nervants; come and deal with them as seemeth good unto thee. 
 
 5 So the men came unto Holofernes, and declared unto him 
 after this manner. 
 
 6 Then came he down towards the sea-coast, both he and his 
 army, and set garrisons in the high cities, and took out of thcin 
 ebosen men for aid. 
 
 7 So they and all the country round about received them with 
 garlands, with dances, and with timbrels. 
 
 b Yet he did cast down their frontiers, and cut down their 
 groves : for he had decreed to destroy all the gods of the land, 
 that all nations should worship Nabuchodonosor only, and that 
 all tongues and tribes should call upon him as god. 
 
 9 Also he came over against Esdraelon near unto Judea, over 
 against the great strait of Judea. 
 
 10 And he pitched between Geba and Scythopolis, and there 
 he tarried a whole month / that he might gather together all the 
 sarriages of his army. 
 
 3 E 
 
 CHAPTER rv. 
 
 1 The Jews are afraid of Holofernes, 6 and fortify the Dills : 6 They 
 
 of Bethulia tckc charge of the passages. 9 All Israel fall to fasting 
 and prayer. 
 
 NOW the children of Israel that dwelt in Judea, heard all thai 
 Holofernes the chief captain of Nabuchodonosor king of the 
 Assyrians bad done to the nations, and after what manner he bad 
 spoiled all their temples, and brought them to nought. 
 
 2 Therefore they were exceedingly afraid of him, and were 
 troubled for Jerusalem, and for the temple of tbe Lord their 
 God: 
 
 3 For they were newly returned from the captivity, and all 
 the people of Judea were lately gathered together : and the ves- 
 sels, and the altar, and the bouse, were sanctified after the pro 
 fanation. 
 
 4 Therefore they sent into all the coasts of Samaria, and the 
 villages, and to Bethoron, and Belmen, and Jericho, and to Choba, 
 and Esora, and to the valley of Salem : 
 
 5 And possessed themselves beforehand of all the tops of the 
 high mountains, and fortified the villages that were in them, and 
 laid up victuals for the provision of war : for their fields were of 
 late reaped. 
 
 6 Also Joacin the high priest, which was in those days in 
 Jerusalem, wrote to them that dwelt in Bethulia, and Betomef^ 
 tham, which is over against Esdraelon towards the open country, 
 near to Dothaim, 
 
 7 Charging them to keep the passages of tbe bill-country : for 
 by them there was an entrance into Judea, and it was easy to 
 stop them that would come up, because the passage was strait, 
 for two men at the most. 
 
 8 And the children of Israel did as Joacim the high priest 
 had commanded them, with the ancients of all tbe people of 
 Israel, which dwelt at Jerusalem. 
 
 9 Then every man of Israel cried to God with great fervency, 
 and with great vehemency did they humble their souls : 
 
 10 Both they, and their wives, and their children, and their 
 cattle, and every stranger and hireling, and their servants bought 
 with money, put sackcloth upon their loins. 
 
 11 Thus every man and woman, and the little children, and 
 the inhabitants of Jerusalem, fell before the temple, and cast 
 ashes upon their heads, and spread out their sackcloth before the 
 face of the Lord : also they put sackcloth about the altar, 
 
 12 And cried to the God of Israel all with oue consent ear- 
 nestly, that he would not give their children for a prey, and their 
 wives for a spoil, and tbe cities of their inheritance to destruction, 
 and the sanctuary to profanation and reproach, and for the nations 
 to rejoice at. 
 
 13 So God heard their prayers, and looked upon their afflic- 
 tions : for the people fasted many days in all Judea and Jerusa- 
 lem before the sanctuary of the Lord Almighty. 
 
 14 And Joacim the high priest, and all the priests that stood 
 before the Lord, and they which ministered unto the Lord, had 
 their loins girt with sackcloth, and offered the daily burnt-ottei- 
 ings, with tbe vows and free gifts of the people, 
 
 15 And had ashes on their mitres, and cried unto the Lord 
 with all their power, that be would look upon all the bouse of 
 Israel graciously. 
 
 CHAPTER V. 
 
 1 Achior telleth Holofernes what the Jews are. 8 and what their Qotf 
 had done for them ; 21 and adviseth not to meddle with them. 2'J 
 All that heard him were offended at him. 
 
 fPHEN was it declared to Holofernes, the chief captain of the 
 -L army of Assur, that the children of Israel had prepared for 
 war, and had shut up the passages of the hill-country, and had 
 fortified all the tops of the high hills, and had laid inipedime&'fl 
 in the campaign countries : 
 
 2 Wherewith he was very angry, and called all the pnnces of 
 Moab, and the captains of Ammon, and all tbe governors of the 
 sea-coast, 
 
 S3 
 
apocrypha. 
 
 JUDITH. 
 
 Apocrypha. 
 
 3 And he said unto them, Tell me now, ye sons of Chanaan, 
 -jho this people is that dwelleth in the hill-country, and what 
 *re the cities that they inhabit, and what is the multitude of 
 their army, and wherein is their power and strength, and what 
 king is set over them, or captain of their army ; 
 
 4 And why have they determined not to come and meet me, 
 more than all the inhabitants of the west. 
 
 5 Then said Achior, the captain of all the sons of Amnion, 
 Let my lord now hear a word from the mouth of thy servant, 
 and 1 will declare unto thee the truth concerning this people, 
 which dwelleth near thee, and inhabiteth the hill-countries : and 
 there shall no lie come out of the mouth of thy servant. 
 
 6 This people are descended of the Chaldeans : 
 
 7 And they sojourned heretofore in Mesopotamia, because 
 they would not follow the gods of their fathers, which were in 
 the land of Chaldea. 
 
 8 For they left the way of their ancestors, and worshipped the 
 God of heaven, the God whom they knew : so they cast them 
 out from the face of their gods, and they fled into Mesopotamia, 
 and sojourned there many days. 
 
 9 Then their God commanded them to depart from the place 
 where they sojourned, and to go into the land of Chanaan : where 
 they dwelt, and were increased with gold and silver, and with 
 very much cattle. 
 
 10 But when a famine covered all the land of Chanaan, they 
 went down into Egypt, and sojourned there, while they were 
 nourished, and became there a great multitude, so that one could 
 not number their nation. 
 
 11 Therefore the king of Egypt rose up against them, and 
 dealt subtilly with them, and brought them low with labouring 
 in brick, and made them slaves. 
 
 12 Then they cried unto their God, and he smote all the land 
 of Enypt with incurable plagues : so the Egyptians cast them out 
 of their sight. 
 
 13 And God dried the Red sea before them, 
 
 14 And brought them to mount Sina, and Cades-Barne, and 
 cast forth all that dwelt in the wilderness. 
 
 15 So they dwelt in the land of the Amorites, and they de- 
 stroyed by their strength all them of Esebon, and passing over 
 Jordan they possessed all the hill-country. 
 
 16 And they cast forth before them the Chanaanite, the Phere- 
 7,ite, the Jebusite, and the Sychemite, and all the Gergesites, and 
 they dwelt in that country many days. 
 
 17 And while they sinned not before their God, they prosper- 
 ed, because the God that hateth iniquity was with them. 
 
 18 But when they departed from the way which he appointed 
 them, they were destroyed in many battles very sore, and were 
 led captives into a land that was not theirs, and the temple of 
 their God was cast to the ground, and their cities were taken by 
 the enemies. 
 
 19 But now they are returned to their God, and are come up 
 from the places where they were scattered, and have possessed 
 Jerusalem, where their sanctuary is, and are seated in the hill- 
 jountry ; for it was desolate. 
 
 20 Now therefore, my lord and governor, if there be any error 
 to this people, and they sin against their God, let us consider that 
 this shall be their ruin, and let us go up, and we shall overcome 
 them. 
 
 21 But if there be no iniquity in their nation, let my lord now 
 pass by, lest their Lord defend them, and their God be for them, 
 aad we become a reproach before all the world. 
 
 22 And when Achior had finished these sayings, all the people 
 standing round about the tent murmured, and the chief men of 
 Holofernes, and all that dwelt by the seaside, and in Moab, spake 
 that he should kill him. 
 
 23 For, say they, we will not be afraid of the face of the 
 children of Israel : for lo, it is a people that have no strength 
 nor power for a strong battle. 
 
 24 Now therefore, Lord Holofernes, we will go up, and they 
 ihall be a prey to be devoured of all thine army. 
 
 CHAPTER VI. 
 
 1 Holofernes despiseth God : 7 He threateneth Achior, and sendeth 
 him away. 14 The Bethulians receive and hear him. 18 They fall 
 to prayer, and comfort Achior. 
 
 AND when the tumult of men that were about the council 
 was ceased, Holofernes the chief captain of the army of 
 Assur, said unto Achior and all the Moabites before all the con? 
 pany of other nations, 
 
 2 And who art thou, Achior, and the hirelings of Ephrara 
 that thou hast prophesied among us as to-day, and hast said, that 
 we should not make war with the people of Israel, because 
 their God will defend them ? and who is God but Nabuchodo- 
 nosor : 
 
 3 He will send his power, and will destroy them from the face 
 of the earth, and their God sbi^ ^A deliver them : but we his 
 servants will destroy them as one man ; for they are not able tc 
 sustain the power of our horses. 
 
 4 For with them we will tread them under foot, and theii 
 mountains shall be drunken with their blood, and their field.-? 
 shall be filled with their dead bodies, and their footsteps shall 
 not be able to stand before us, for they shall utterly perish, saitl 
 king Nabuchodonosor, lord of all the earth : for he said, None o! 
 my words shall be in vain. 
 
 5 And thou, Achior, an hireling of Ammon, which hast spoke?, 
 these words in the day of thine iniquity, shalt see my face no 
 more from this day, until I take vengeance of this nation thai 
 came out of Egypt. 
 
 6 And then shall the sword of mine army, and the multitude 
 of them that serve me, pass through thy sides, and thou shalt 
 fall among their slain, when I return. 
 
 7 Now therefore my servants shall bring thee back into the 
 hill-country, and shall set thee in one of the cities of the pas- 
 sages : 
 
 8 And thou shalt not perish, till thou be destroyed with them. 
 
 9 And if thou persuade thyself in thy mind that they shall 
 not be taken, let not thy countenance fall : I have spoken it, and 
 none of my words shall be in vain. * 
 
 10 Then Holofernes commanded his servants, that waited in 
 his tent, to take Achior, and bring him to Bcthulia, and deliver 
 him into the hands of the children of Israel. 
 
 11 So his servants took him, and brought him out of the camp 
 into the plain, and they went from the midst of the plain into 
 the hill-country, and came unto the fountains that were under 
 Bethulia. 
 
 12 And when the men of the city saw them, they took up 
 their weapons, and went out of the city to the top of the hill : 
 and every man that used a sling kept them from coming up by 
 casting of stones against them. 
 
 13 Nevertheless, having gotten privily under the hill, they 
 bound Achior, and cast him down, and left him at the foot of 
 the hill, and returned to their lord. 
 
 14 But the Israelites descended from their city, and came unto 
 him, and loosed him, and brought him into Bethulia, and pre- 
 sented him to the governors of the city : 
 
 15 Which were in those days Ozias the son of Micha, of the 
 tribe of Simeon, and Chabris the son of Gothoniel, and Charniis 
 the son of Melchiel. 
 
 16 And they called together all the ancients of the city, and 
 all their youth ran together, and their women, to the assembly, 
 and they sat Achior in the midst of all their people. Then Ozias 
 asked him of that which was done. 
 
 17 And he answered and declared unto them the words of the 
 council of Holofernes, and all the words that he had spoken ic 
 the midst of the princes of Assur, and whatsoever Holofernes had 
 spoken proudly against the house of Israel. 
 
 18 Then the people fell down and worshipped God, and cried 
 unto God, saying, 
 
 19 Lord God of heaven, behold their pride, and pity the 
 low estate of our nation, and look upon the face of those that are 
 sanctified unto thee this day. 
 
 34

 Apocrypha. 
 
 20 Then (hey comforted Achior, and praised him greatly. 
 
 21 And Ozias took him out of the assembly unto his house, 
 »nd made a feast to the elders; and they called on the God of 
 Israel all that night for help. 
 
 CHAPTER VII. 
 
 I Holofernes besicgeth Bethulia, 7 and stoppeth the water from them. 
 
 22 They faint and murmur against the governors, 30 who promise to 
 yield within five days. 
 
 'T'TIE next day Holofernes commanded all his army, and all his 
 I people which were come to take his part, that they should 
 remove their camp against Bethulia, to take aferehand the ascents 
 of the hill-country, and to make war against the children of 
 Israel. 
 
 2 Then their strong men removed their camps in that day, 
 and the army of the men of war was an hundred and seventy 
 thousand footmen, and twelve thousand horsemen, besides the 
 baggage, and other men that were afoot among them, a very 
 great multitude. 
 
 3 And they camped in the valley near unto Bethulia, by the 
 fountain, and they spread themselves in breadth over Dothaim 
 even to Belmaim, and in length from Bethulia unto Cyainon, 
 which is over against Esdraclom. 
 
 4 Now the children of Israel, when they saw the multitude of 
 them, were greatly troubled, and said every one to his neighbour, 
 Now will these men lick up the face of the earth ; for neither 
 the high mountains, nor the valleys, nor the hills, are able to 
 bear their weight. 
 
 5 Then every man took up his weapons of war, and when they 
 had kindled fires upon their towers, they remained and watched 
 all that night. 
 
 6 But iu the second day Holofernes brought forth all his horse- 
 men in the sight of the children of Israel which were in Bethulia ; 
 
 7 And viewed the passages up to the city, and came to the 
 fountains of their waters, and took them, and set garrisons of 
 men of war over them, and he himself removed towards his 
 people. 
 
 8 Then came unto him all the chief of the children of Esau, 
 and all the governors of the people of Moab, and the captains of 
 the sea-coast, and said, 
 
 9 Let our lord now hear a word, that there be not an over- 
 throw iu thine army. 
 
 10 For this people of the children of Israel do not trust in 
 their spears, but in the height of the mountains wherein they 
 dwell, because it is not easy to come up to the tops of their 
 mountains. 
 
 11 Now therefore, my lord, fight not against them in battle- 
 array, and there shall not so much as one man of thy people 
 perish. 
 
 12 Remain in thy camp, and keep all the men of thine army, 
 Mid let thy servants get into their hands the fountain of water, 
 which issueth forth of the foot of the mountain : 
 
 13 For all the inhabitants of Bethulia have their water thence : 
 so shall thirst kill them, and they shall give up their city, and 
 we and our people shall go up to the tops of the mountains that 
 are near, and will camp upon them, to watch that none go out 
 of the city. 
 
 14 So they and their wives and their children shall be con- 
 sumed with famine, and before the sword come against them, 
 they shall be overthrown in the streets where they dwell. 
 
 15 Thus shalt thou render them an evil reward; because they 
 rebelled, and met not thy person peaceably. 
 
 16 And these words pleased Holofernes and all his servants, 
 and he appointed to do as they had spoken. 
 
 17 So the camp of the children of Amnion departed, and with 
 them five thousand of the Assyrians, and they pitched in the 
 valley, and took the waters, and the fountains of the waters of 
 the children of Israel. 
 
 1 8 Then the children of Esau went up with the children of 
 Amnion, and camped in the hill-country over against Dothaim : 
 
 G 
 
 and they sent some of them towards the south, and towards the 
 east, over against Ekrebel, which is near unto Chusi, that is upon 
 the brook Mochmur; and the rest of the army of the Assyrian.! 
 camped in the plain, and covered the face of the whole land ; and 
 their tents and carriages were pitched to a very great multitude. 
 
 19 Then the children of Israel cried unto the Lord their God, 
 because their heart failed, for all their enemies had compassed 
 them round about, and there was no way to escape out from 
 among them. 
 
 20 Thus all the company of Assur remained about them, both 
 their footmen, chariots, and horsemen, four and thirty days, so 
 that all their vessels of water failed all the inhabitants of Be- 
 thulia. 
 
 21 And the cisterns were emptied, and they had not water to 
 drink their fill for one day : for they gave them drink by measure. 
 
 22 Therefore their young children were out of heart, and their 
 women aud young men fainted for thirst, and fell down in the 
 streets of the city, and by the passages of the gates, and there 
 was no longer any strength in them. 
 
 23 Then all the people assembled to Ozias, and to the chief 
 of the city, both young men, and women, and children, aud cried 
 with a loud voice, and said before all the elders, 
 
 24 God be judge between us and you : for ye have done us 
 great injury, in that ye have not required peace of the children 
 of Assur. 
 
 25 For now we have no helper : but God hath sold us into 
 their hands, that we should be thrown down before them with 
 thirst and great destruction. 
 
 26 Now therefore call them unto you, and deliver the whole 
 city for a spoil to the people of Holofernes, and to all his army. 
 
 27 For it is better for us to be made a spoil unto them, than 
 to die for thirst : for we will be his servants, that our souls may 
 live, and not see the death of our infants before our eyes, nor ouf 
 wives nor our children to die. 
 
 28 We take to witness against you the heaven and the eartn, 
 and our God and Lord of our fathers, which punisheth us accord 
 ing to our sins and the sins of our fathers, that he do not accord- 
 ing as we have said this day. 
 
 29 Then there was great weeping with one consent in the 
 midst of the assembly; and they cried unto the Lord God with 
 a loud voice. 
 
 30 Then said Ozias to them, Brethren, be of good courage, let 
 us yet endure five days, in the which space the Lord our God 
 may turn his mercy towards us ; for he will not forsake us utterly. 
 
 31 And if these days pass, and there come no help unto us, I 
 will do according to your word. 
 
 32 And he dispersed the people, every one to their own 
 charge ; and they went unto the walls and towers of their city, 
 and sent the women and children into their houses : and they 
 were very low brought in the city. 
 
 CHAPTER VIII. 
 
 1 The state and behaviour of Judith a widow. 12 She blameth thi 
 governors for their promise to yield, 17 and adviseth them to true* 
 in God. 28 They excuse tneir promise. 32 She promiseth to d> 
 something for them. 
 
 NOW at that time Judith heard thereof, which was the daugh- 
 ter of Merari, the son of Ox, the son of Joseph, the son of 
 Oziel, the son of Elcia, the son of Ananias, the son of Gideon, 
 the son of Raphaim, the son of Acitho, the son of Eliu, the son 
 of Eliab, the son of Nathanael, the son of Samael, the son of 
 Salasadai, the son of Israel. 
 
 2 And Manasscs was her husband, of her tribe and kiudred, 
 who died in the barley-harvest. 
 
 3 For as he stood overseeing them that bound sheaves in Um 
 field, the heat came upon his head, ai,d he fell on his bed, aud 
 
 35 
 
Apocrypha-

 Apocrypha. 
 
 died iD the city of Bethulia : and they buried him with his fathers 
 in the held between Dothaim aud Balamo. 
 
 4 So Judith was a widow iu her house three years and four 
 ■yrnths. 
 
 5 And she made her a tent upon the top of her house, and 
 Ait on sackcloth upon her loins, aud ware her widow's apparel. 
 
 6 And she fasted all the days of her widowhood, save the eves 
 of the sabbaths, aud the sabbaths, and the eves of the new moons, 
 and the new moons, and the feasts and solemn days of the house 
 of Israel. 
 
 7 She was also of a goodly countenance, and very beautiful to 
 behold: and her husband Manasses had left her gold, and silver, 
 and m en-servants, and maid-servants, and cattle, and lands ; and 
 she remained upon them. 
 
 8 And there was none that gave her an ill word ; for she 
 feared God greatly. 
 
 9 Now wheu she heard the evil words of the people against 
 the governor, that they fainted for lack of water; for Judith had 
 heard all the words that Ozias had spoken unto them, and that 
 he had sworn to deliver the city uuto the Assyrians after live 
 days ; 
 
 10 Then she sent her waiting-woman, that had the government 
 of all things that she had, to call Ozias and Chabris and Charmis, 
 the ancients of the city. 
 
 11 And they camo unto her, and she said unto them, Hear 
 me now, ye governors of the inhabitants of Bethulia : for your 
 words that ye have spoken before the people this day are not 
 right, touching this oath which ye made and pronounced between 
 God and you, and have promised to deliver the city to our ene- 
 mies, unless within these days the Lord turn to help you. 
 
 i2 And now who are ye that have tempted God this day, and 
 stand instead of God among the children of men ? 
 
 13 And now try the Lord Almighty, but ye shall never know 
 any thing. 
 
 14 For ye cannot find the depth of the heart of man, neither 
 can ye perceive the things that he thiuketh : then how can ye 
 search out God, that hath made all these things, and know his 
 mind, or comprehend his purpose ? Nay, my brethren, provoke 
 not the Lord our God to anger. 
 
 15 For if he will not help us within these five days, he hath 
 power to defend us when he will, even every day, or to destroy 
 us before our enemies. 
 
 16 Do not bind the counsels of the Lord our God : for God is 
 not as man, that he may be threatened ; neither is he as the son 
 of man, that he should be wavering. 
 
 17 Therefore let us wait for salvation of him, and call upon 
 him to help us, and he will hear bur voice, if it please him. 
 
 18 For there arose none in our age, neither is there any now 
 in these days, neither tribe nor family, nor people, nor city, 
 amoncr us, which worship gods made with hands, as hath been 
 aforetime. 
 
 19 For the which cause our fathers were given to the sword, 
 and for a spoil, and had a great fall before our enemies. 
 
 20 But we know none other God, therefore we trust that he 
 ill not despise us, nor any of our nation. 
 
 21 For if we be taken so, all Judea shall lie waste, and our 
 anctuary shall be spoiled ; aud he will require the profanation 
 
 thereof at our mouth. 
 
 22 And the slaughter of our brethren, and the captivity of 
 the country, and the desolation of our inheritance, will he turn 
 upon our heads among the Gentiles, wheresoever we shall be in 
 bt adage ; and we shall be an offence and a reproach to all them 
 that possess us. 
 
 23 For our servitude shall not be directed to favour : but the 
 Lord our God shall turn it to dishonour. 
 
 24 Now therefore, brethren, let us show an example to our 
 brethren, because their hearts depend upon us, and the sanctuary, 
 and the house, and the altar, rest upon us. 
 
 25 Moreover, let us give thanks to the Lord our God, which 
 tr : eth us, even as he did our fathers. 
 
 26 Remember what things he did to Abraham, and how he 
 
 36 
 
 tried Isaac, and what happened to Jacob in Mesopotamia of 
 Syria, when he kept the sheep of Laban his mother's brother. 
 
 27 For he hath not tried us in the fire, as he did them, for 
 the examination of their hearts, neither hath he taken vengeance 
 on us : but the Lord doth scourge them that come near unto him, 
 to admonish them. 
 
 28 Then said Ozias to her, All that thou hast spoken, hast 
 thou spoken with a good heart, and there is none that may gain- 
 say thy words. 
 
 29 For this is not the first day wherein thy wisdom is mani- 
 fested; but from the beginning of thy days all the people have 
 known thj' understanding, because the disposition of thiue heart 
 is good. 
 
 30 But the people were very thirsty, and compelled us to do 
 unto them as we have spoken, and to bring an oath upon our- 
 selves, which we will not break. 
 
 31 Therefore now pray thou for us, because thou art a godly 
 woman, and the Lord will send us rain to fill our cisterns, and 
 we shall faint no more. 
 
 32 Then said Judith unto them, Hear me, and I will do a 
 thing which shall go throughout all generations to the children 
 of our nation. 
 
 33 Ye shall stand this night in the gate, and I will go forth 
 with my waiting-woman : and within the days that ye have 
 promised to deliver the city to our enemies, the Lord will visit 
 Israel by mine hand. 
 
 34 But inquire not ye of mine act : for I will not declare it 
 unto you, till the things be finished that I do. 
 
 35 Then said Ozias and the princes unto her, Go in peace, 
 and the Lord God be before thee, to take vengeance on our 
 enemies. 
 
 36 So they returned from the tent, and went to their wards. 
 
 CHAPTER IX. 
 
 1 Judith humbleth herself, 2 and prayeth God to prosper her purpose 
 against the enemies of his sanctuary. 
 
 THEN Judith fell upon her face, and put ashes upon her head, 
 and uncovered the sackcloth wherewith she was clothed ; and 
 about the time that the incense of that evening was offered in 
 Jerusalem, in the house of the Lord, Judith cried with a loud 
 xoice, and said, 
 
 2 Lord God of my father Simeon, to whom thou gavest a 
 sword to take vengeance of the strangers, who loosened the girdle 
 of a maid to defile her, and discovered the thigh to her shame, 
 and polluted her virginity to her reproach; for thou saidst, It 
 shall not be so ; and yet they did so : 
 
 3 Wherefore thou gavest their rulers to be slain, so that they 
 dyed their bed in blood, being deceived, and smotest the servauts 
 with their lords, and the lords upon their thrones; 
 
 4 And hast given their wives for a prey, and their daughters 
 to be captives, and all their spoils to be divided among thy dear 
 children; which were moved with thy zeal, and abhorred the 
 pollution of their blood, and called upon thee for aid : God, 
 my God, hear me also a widow. 
 
 5 For thou hast wrought not only those things, but also the 
 things which fell out before and which ensued after; thou hast 
 thought upon the things which are now, and which are to come. 
 
 6 Yea, what things thou didst determine were ready at hand, 
 and said, Lo, we are here : for all thy ways are prepared, and thy 
 judgments are in thy foreknowledge. 
 
 7 For, behold, the Assyrians are multiplied in their power; 
 they are exalted with horse and man; they glory in the strength 
 of their footmen ; they trust in shield and spear, and bow and 
 sling; and know not that thou art the Lord that breakest thir 
 battles : the Lord is thy name. 
 
 8 Throw down their strength in thy power, and bring down 
 their force in thy wrath : for they have purposed to defile thy 
 sanctuary, and to pollute the tabernacle where thy glorious name 
 resteth, and to cast down with the sword the horn or' thy altar. 
 
 9 Behold their pride, and send thy wrath upon their heads : 
 
apocrypha-

 Apocrypha. 
 
 give into mine Land, which am a widow, the ^ower that I have 
 conceived. 
 
 10 Smite by the deceit of my lips the servant with the prince, 
 and the prince with the servant: break down their stateliness 
 by the hand of a woman. 
 
 11 For thy power standeth not in multitude, nor thy might 
 in strong meu : for thou art a God of the afflicted, an helper of 
 the oppressed, an upholder of the weak, a protector of the forlorn, 
 a saviour of them that are without hope. 
 
 12 1 pray thee, I pray thee, God of my father, and God of 
 the inheritance of Israel, Lord of the heavens and earth, Creator 
 of the waters, King of every creature, hear thou my prayer : 
 
 13 And make my speech and deceit to be their wound and 
 stripe, who have purposed cruel things against thy covenant, and 
 thy hallowed house, and against the top of Sion, and against the 
 house of the possession of thy children. 
 
 14 And make every nation and tribe to acknowledge that thou 
 art the God of all power and might, and that there is none other 
 that protecteth the people of Israel but thou. 
 
 CHAPTER X. 
 
 8 Judith doth set forth herself. 10 She and her maid go forth into 
 the camp 17 The watch take and conduct her to Holofernes. 
 
 NOW after that she had ceased to cry unto the God of Israel, 
 and had made an end of all these words, 
 
 2 She rose where she had fallen down, and called her maid, 
 and went down into the house, in which she abode in the sabbath- 
 days, and in her feast-days, 
 
 3 And pulled off the sackcloth which she had on, and put off 
 the garments of her widowhood, and washed her body all over 
 with water, and anointed herself with precious ointment, and 
 braided the hair of her head, and put on a tire upon it, and put 
 on her garments of gladness, wherewith she was clad during the 
 life of Manasses her husband. 
 
 4 And she took sandals, upon her feet, and put about her her 
 bracelets, and her chains, and her rings, and her ear-rings, and 
 nil her ornaments, and decked herself bravely, to allure the eyes 
 of all men that should see her. 
 
 5 Then she gave her maid a bottle of wine, and a cruse of oil, 
 and filled a bag with parched corn, and lumps of figs, and with 
 fine bread ; so she folded all these things together, and laid them 
 upon her. 
 
 6 Thus they went forth to the gate of the city of Bethulia, 
 and found standing there Ozias, and the ancients of the city, 
 Ohabris and Charmis. 
 
 7 And when they saw her, that her countenance was altered, 
 and her apparel was changed, they wondered at her beauty very 
 greatly, and said unto her, 
 
 8 The God, the God of our fathers, give thee favour, and ac- 
 complish thine enterprises to the glory of the children of Israel, 
 and to the exaltation of Jerusalem. Then they worshipped God. 
 
 9 And she said unto them, Command the gates of the city to 
 be opened unto me, that I may go forth to accomplish the things 
 whereof ye have spoken with me. So they commanded the 
 young men to open unto her, as she had spoken. 
 
 10 And when they had done so, Judith went out, she, and 
 her maid with her ; and the men of the city looked after her, 
 until she was gone down the mountain, and till she had passed 
 the valley, and could see her no more. 
 
 11 Thus they went straight forth in the valley : and the first 
 watch of the Assyrians met her, 
 
 12 And took her, and asked her, Of what people art thou ? 
 and whence comest thou ? and whither goest thou ? And she 
 said, I am a woman of the Hebrews, and am fled from them : for 
 they shall be given you to be consumed : 
 
 13 And I am coming before Holofernes the chief captain of 
 your army, to declare words of truth; and I will show him a 
 way whereby he shall go, and win all the hill-country, without 
 losing the body or life of any one of his men. 
 
 14 Now when the men heard her words, and beheld her 
 
 countenance, they wondered greatly at her beauty, and said unto 
 her, 
 
 15 Thou hast saved thy life, in that thou hast hasted to coino 
 down to the presence of our lord : now therefore come to his tent, 
 and sonic of us shall conduct thee, until they have delivered then 
 to his hands. 
 
 16 And when thou standest before him, be not afraid in thine 
 heart, but show unto him according to thy word; and he will 
 entreat thee well. 
 
 17 Then they chose out of them an hundred men to accom- 
 pany her and her maid; and they brought her to the tent of 
 Holofernes. 
 
 18 Then there was a concourse throughout all the camp : for 
 her coming was noised among the tents, and they came about 
 her, as she stood without the tent of Holofernes, till they told 
 him of her. 
 
 19 And they wondered at her beauty, and admired the chil- 
 dren of Israel because of her, and every one said to his neigh- 
 bour, Who would despise this people that have among them such 
 women ? surely it is not good that one man of them be left, who 
 being let go might deceive the whole earth. 
 
 20 And they that lay near Holofernes went out, and all his 
 servants, and they brought her into the tent. 
 
 21 Now Holofernes rested upon his bed under a canopy, 
 which was woven with purple, and gold, and emeralds, and pre- 
 cious stones. 
 
 22 So the} 1 showed him of her; and he came out before his 
 tent with silver lamps going before him. 
 
 23 And when Judith was come before him and his servants, 
 they all marvelled at the beauty of her countenance ; and she 
 fell down upon her face, and did reverence unto him : and his 
 servants took her up. 
 
 CHAPTER XI. 
 
 3 Holofernes asketh Judith the cause of her coming. 6 She telleth 
 him how and when he may prevail. 20 He is much pleased wilb 
 her wisdom and beauty. 
 
 THEN said Holofernes unto her, Woman, be of good comfort, 
 fear not in thine heart: for I never hurt any that was will- 
 ing to serve Nabuchodonosor, the king of all the earth. 
 
 © 7 O 
 
 2 Now therefore, if thy people that dwelleth in the mountains 
 had not set light by me, I would not have lifted up my spear 
 against them : but they have done these things to themselves. 
 
 3 But now tell me wherefore thou art fled from them, and art 
 come unto us : for thou art come for safeguard ; be of good com- 
 fort, thou shalt live this night, and hereafter : 
 
 4 For none shall hurt thee, but entreat thee well, as they do 
 the servants of king Nabuchodonosor my lord. 
 
 5 Then Judith said unto him, Receive the words of thy ser 
 vant, and suffer thine handmaid to speak in thy presence, and T 
 will declare no lie to my lord this night. 
 
 6 And if thou wilt follow the words of thine handmaid, God 
 will bring the thing perfectly to pass by thee ; and my lord shall 
 not fail of his purposes. 
 
 7 As Nabuchodonosor king of all the earth liveth, and as his 
 power liveth, who hath sent thee for the upholding of every liv- 
 ing thing : for not only men shall serve him by thee, but also 
 the beasts of the field, and the cattle, and the fowls of the air, 
 shall live by thy power under Mabuchodonosci and all his house. 
 
 8 For we have heard of thy wisdom and thy policies, and it is 
 reported in all the earth, that thou only art excellent in all the 
 kingdom, and mighty in knowledge, and wonderful in feats of 
 war. 
 
 9 Now as concerning the matter, which Achior did speak in 
 thy council, we have heard his words; for the men of Bethulia 
 saved him, and he declared unto them all that he had spoken 
 unto thee. 
 
 10 Therefore, O lord and governor, reject not his word ; but 
 lay it up in thine heart, for it is true ; for our nation shall not 
 be punished, neither can the sword prevail against them, except 
 they sin against their God.

 11 And now, that my lcrd be not defeated and frustrate of 
 his purpose, even death is now fallen upon thern, and their sin 
 hath overtaken them, wherewith they will provoke their God to 
 ancer, whensoever they shall do that which is not fit to he done : 
 
 12 For their victuals fail them, and all their water is scant, 
 and they have determined to lay hands upon their cattle, and 
 purposed to consume all those things, that God hath forbidden 
 them to eat by his laws : 
 
 13 And are resolved to spend the first-fruits of the corn, and 
 the tenths of wine and oil, which they had sanctified, and reserv- 
 ed for the priests that serve in Jerusalem before the face of our 
 God ; the which things it is not lawful for any of the people so 
 much as to touch with their hands. 
 
 14 For they have sent some to Jerusalem, because they also 
 that dwell there have done the like, to bring them a license from 
 the senate. 
 
 15 Now when they shall bring them word, they will forthwith 
 do it, and they shall be given thee to be destroyed the same day. 
 
 16 Wherefore I thine handmaid, knowing all this, am fled 
 from their presence; and God hath sent me to work things with 
 thee, whereat all the earth shall be astonished, and whosoever 
 shall hear it. 
 
 17 For thy servant is religious, and serveth the God of heaven 
 day and night : now therefore, my lord, I will remain with thee, 
 and thy servant will go out by night into the valley, and I will 
 pray unto God, and he will tell me when they have committed 
 their sins : 
 
 18 And I will come and show it unto thee : then thou shalt 
 go forth with all thine army, and there shall be none of them 
 that shall resist thee. 
 
 19 And I will lead thee through the midst of Judca, until 
 thou come before Jerusalem ; and I will set thy throne in the 
 midst thereof ; and thou shalt drive them as sheep that have no 
 shepherd, and a dog shall not so much as open his mouth at thee : 
 for these things were told me according to my foreknowledge, 
 and they were declared unto me, and I am sent to tell thee. 
 
 20 Then her words pleased Holofernes and all his servants ; 
 and they marvelled at her wisdom, and said, 
 
 21 There is not such a woman from one end of the earth to 
 the other, both for beauty of face, and wisdom of words. 
 
 22 Likewise Holofernes said unto her, God hath done well to 
 send thee before the people, that strength might be in our hands, 
 and destruction upon them that lightly regard my lord. 
 
 23 And now thou art both beautiful in thy countenance, and 
 witty in thy words : surely if thou do as thou hast spoken thy 
 God shall be my God, and thou shalt dwell in the house of king 
 Nabuchodonosor, and shalt be renowned through the whole earth. 
 
 CHAPTER XTI. 
 
 ± Judith will not eat of Holofernes' meat. 7 She tarrieth three days 
 in the camp, and every night went forth to pray. 13 Bagoas moveth 
 her to be merry with Holofernes, 20 who for joy of her company 
 drank much. 
 
 1 A HEN he commanded to bring her in where his plate was set ; 
 - and bade that they should prepare for her of his own meats, 
 nd that she should drink of his own wine. 
 
 2 And Judith said, I will not eat thereof, lest there be an 
 offence : but provision shall be made for me of the things that I 
 have brought. 
 
 3 Then Holofernes said unto her, If thy provision should fail, 
 how should we give thee the like ? for there be none with us of 
 thy nation. 
 
 4 Then said Judith unto him, As thy soul liveth, my lord, 
 thine handmaid shall not spend those things that I have, before 
 the Lord work by mine hand the things that he hath determined. 
 
 5 Then the servants of Holofernes brought her into the tent, 
 and she slept till midnight, and she arose when it was towards 
 the morning watch, 
 
 6 And sent to Holofernes, saying, Let my lord now command 
 that thine handmaid may go forth unto prayer. 
 
 7 Then Holofernes commanded his guard that they should not 
 
 38 
 
 stay her : thus she abode in the camp three days, and went oat 
 in the night intc the valley of Bethulia, and washed herself in a 
 fountaiu of water by the camp. 
 
 8 And when she came out, the besought the Lord God of Is- 
 rael to direct her way to the raising up of the children of her 
 people. 
 
 9 So she came in clean, and remained in the tent, until she 
 did eat her meat at evening. 
 
 10 And in the fourth day Holofernes made a feast to his own 
 servants only, and called none of the officers to the banquet. 
 
 11 Then said he to Bagoas the eunuch, who had charge ovei 
 all that he had, Go now, and persuade this Hebrew woman which 
 is with thee, that she come unto us, and eat and drink with us. 
 
 12 For lo, it will be a shame for our person, if we shall let 
 such a woman go, not having had her company ; for if we draw 
 her not unto us, she will laugh us to scorn. 
 
 13 Then went Bagoas from the presence of Holofernes, and 
 came to her, and he said, Let not this fair damsel fear to come 
 to my lord, and to be honoured in his presence, and drink wine, 
 and be merry with us, and be made this day as one of the 
 daughters of the Assyrians, which serve in the house of Nab'i- 
 chodonosor. 
 
 14 Then said Judith unto him, Who am I now, that I should 
 gainsay my lord? surely whatsoever pleaseth him I will do 
 speedily, and it shall be my joy unto the day of my death. 
 
 15 So she arose, and decked herself with her apparel, and all 
 her women's attire, and her maid went and laid soft skins on the 
 ground for her over against Holofernes, which she had Teceived 
 of Bagoas for her daily use, that she might sit and eat upon 
 them. 
 
 16 Now when Judith came in and sat'down, Holofernes' heart 
 was ravished with her, and his mind was moved, and he desired 
 greatly her company ; for he waited a time to deceive her, from 
 the day that he had seen her. 
 
 17 Then said Holofernes unto her, Drink now, and be merry 
 with us. 
 
 18 So Judith said, I will drink now, my lord, because my life 
 is magnified in me this day more than all the days since I was 
 born. 
 
 19 Then she took and ate and drank before him what her 
 maid had prepared. 
 
 20 And Holofernes took great delight in her, and drank much 
 more wine than he had drunk at any time in one day since he 
 was born. 
 
 CHAPTER XIII. 
 
 2 Judith is left alone with Holofernes in his tent. 4 She prayeth God 
 to give her strength. 7 She cutteth off his head while he slept, 10 
 and returneth with it to Bethulia. 17 They seeing it commend her. 
 
 'OW when the evening was come, his servants made haste to 
 depart, and Bagoas shut his tent without, and dismissed tha 
 waiters from the presence of his lord ; and they went to their 
 beds : for they were all weary, because the feast had been long 
 
 2 And Judith was left alone in the tent, and Holofernes lying 
 along upon his bed : for he was filled with wine. 
 
 3 Now Judith had commanded her maid to stand without her 
 bed-chamber, and to wait for her coming forth, as she did daily : 
 for she said she would go forth to her prayers, and she spake to 
 Bagoas according to the same purpose. 
 
 4 So all went forth, and none was left in the bed-chamber, 
 neither little nor great. Then Judith, standing by his bed, said 
 in her heart, O Lord God of all power, look at this present upon 
 the works of mine hands for the exaltation of Jerusalem. 
 
 5 For now is the time to help thine inheritance, and to exe- 
 cute mine enterprises to the destruction of the enemies which are 
 risen against as. 
 
 6 Then she came to the pillar of the bed which was at Hj1o= 
 femes' head, and took down his fauchion from thence, 
 
 7 And approached to his bed, and took hold of the hair of 
 his head, and said, Strengthen me, O Lord God of Israel, this 
 day. 
 
 w 
 
Apocrypha* 
 
 CHAP. XL V, XV 
 
 Apooypbs. 
 
 8 And she smote twice upon his neck with all her might, and 
 she took uway his head from him. 
 
 9 And tumbled his body down from the bed, and pulled down 
 the canopy from the pillars, and anon after she went forth, and 
 gave Holoforues' head to her maid ; 
 
 10 And she put it in her bag of meat : so they twain went 
 together according to their custom unto prayer : and when they 
 passed the camp, they compassed the valley, and went up the 
 mountain of Bethulia, and came to the gates thereof. 
 
 l"t Then said Judith afar off to the watchmen at the gate, 
 Open, open now the gate: God, even our God, is with ns, to 
 show his power yet in Jerusalem, and his forces against the 
 ener-iy, as he hath even done this day. 
 
 12 Now when the men of her city heard her voice, they made 
 haste to go down to the gate of their city, and they called the 
 elders of the city. 
 
 13 Aud then they ran all together, both small and great, for 
 it was strange unto them that she was come : so they opened the 
 gatw, and received them, and made a fire for a light, and stood 
 round about them. 
 
 1 1 Then she said to them with a loud voice, Praise, praise 
 God, praise God, I say, for he hath not taken away his mercy 
 fVonu the house of Israel, but hath destroyed our enemies by mine 
 ban is this night. 
 
 16 So she took the head out of the bag, and showed it, and 
 said unto them, Behold the head of Ilolofernes, the chief captain 
 of the army of Assur, and behold the canopy, wherein he did lie 
 in his drunkenness; and the Lord hath smitten him by the hand 
 of a woman. 
 
 16 As the Lord liveth, who hath kept me in my way that I 
 went, my countenance hath deceived him to his destruction, and 
 yet nath he not committed sin with me, to defile and shame me. 
 
 17 Then all the people were wonderfully astonished, and 
 bowed themselves, and worshipped God, and said with one ac- 
 cord, Blessed be thou, our God, which hast this day brought 
 to nought the enemies of thy people. 
 
 18 Then said Ozias unto her, daughter, blessed art thou of 
 the most high God above all the women upon the earth ; and 
 blessed be the Lord God, which hath directed thee to the cutting 
 off of the head of the chief of our enemies. 
 
 19 For this thy confidence shall not depart from the heart of 
 men, which remember the power of God for ever. 
 
 20 And God turn these things to thee for a perpetual praise, 
 to visit thee in good things, because thou hast not spared thy life 
 for the affliction of our nation, but hast revenged our ruin, walk- 
 ing a straight way before our God. And all the people said, So 
 be it, so be it. 
 
 CHAPTER XIV. 
 
 8 Achior heareth Judith show what she had done, and is circumcised. 
 11 The head of Holofernes is hanged up: 15 lie is found dead, and 
 much lamented. 
 
 THEN said Judith unto them, Hear me now, my brethren, and 
 take this head, and hang it upon the highest place of your 
 walls. 
 
 2 And bo soon as the morning shall appear, and the sun shall 
 oome forth upon the earth, take ye every one his weapons, and 
 go forth every valiant man out of the city, and set ye a captain 
 over them, as though ye would go down into the field toward the 
 watch of the Assyrians ; but go not down. 
 
 3 Then they shall take their armour, and shall go into their 
 camp, and raise up the captains of the army of Assur, and they 
 shall run to the tent of Holofernes, but shall not find him : then 
 fear shall fall upon them, and they shall flee before your face. 
 
 4 So ye, aud all that inhabit the coast of Israel, shall pursue 
 them, and overthrow them as they go. 
 
 5 But before ye do these things, call me Achior the Ammon- 
 ite, that he may see and know him that despised the house of 
 Israel, and that sent him to us, as it were to his death. 
 
 6 Then they called Achior out of the house of Ozias; and 
 
 when he was come, and saw the head of Holofernes in a man's 
 hand in the assembly of the people, he fell down on his Dace, Hud 
 
 his spirit failed. 
 
 7 But when they had recovered him, he fell at Judith's feet, 
 and reverenced her, and said, Blessed art thou in all the taber- 
 nacle of Juda, and in all nations, which hearing thy name shall 
 be astonished. 
 
 8 Now therefore tell me all the things that tbou hast done in 
 these days. Then Judith declared unto him in the midst of the 
 people all that she had done, from the day that she went forth 
 until that hour she spake uuto them. 
 
 9 And when she had left off speaking, the people shouted with 
 a loud voice, and made a joyful noise in their city. 
 
 10 And when Achior had seen all that the God of Israel had 
 done, he believed in God greatly, and circumcised the flesh of 
 his foreskin, and was joined uuto the house of Israel unto th'.e 
 day. 
 
 11 And as soon as the morning arose, they hanged the head 
 of Holofernes upon the wall, and every man took his weapons, 
 and they went forth by bands unto the straits of the mountain. 
 
 12 But when the Assyrians saw them, they sent to their lead- 
 ers, which came to their captains and tribunes, and to every one 
 of their rulers. 
 
 14 So they came to Holofernes' tent, and said to him that had 
 the charge of all his things, "Waken now our lord : for the slaves 
 have been bold to come down against us to battle, that they may 
 be utterly destroyed. 
 
 14 Then went in Bagoas, and knocked at the door of the tent; 
 for he thought that he had slept with Judith. 
 
 15 But becau* none answered, he opened it, and went into 
 the bed-chamber, and found him cast upon the floor dead, and 
 his head was taken from him. 
 
 16 Therefore he cried with a loud voice, with weeping, and 
 sighing, and a mighty cry, and rent his garments. 
 
 17 After, he went into the tent where Judith lodged : and 
 when he found her not, he leaped out to the people, and cried, 
 
 18 These slaves have dealt treacherously; one woman of the 
 Hebrews hath brought shame upon the house of king Nabuchod- 
 onosor : for behold, Holofernes lieth upon the ground without a 
 head. 
 
 19 When the captains of the Assyrian army heard these 
 words, they rent their coats, and their minds were wonderfully 
 troubled, and there was a cry and a very great noise throughout 
 the camp. 
 
 CHAPTER XV. 
 
 1 The Assj-rians are chased and slain. 8 The high priest cometh to 
 see Judith. 11 The stuff of Holofernes is given to Judith. 13 The 
 women crown her with a garland. 
 
 AND when they that were in the tents heard, they were aston- 
 ished at the thing that was done. 
 
 2 And fear and trembling fell upon them, so that there w;ui 
 no man that durst abide in the sight of his neighbour, but rush 
 ing out all together, they fled into every way of the plain, and of 
 the hill-country. 
 
 3 They also that had camped in the mountains round about 
 Bethulia fled away. Then the children of Israel, every one that 
 was a warrior among them, rushed out upon them. 
 
 4 Then sent Ozias to Betomasthem, and to Bebai, and Chobai, 
 and Cola, and to all the coasts of Israel, such as should tell the 
 things that were done, and that all should rush forth upon their 
 enemies to destroy them. 
 
 5 Now when the children of Israel heard it, they all fell upon 
 them with one consent, and slew them unto Chobai : likewise 
 also they that came from Jerusalem, and from all the hill-country, 
 (for men had told them what things were done in the camp of 
 their enemies,) and they that were in Galaad, and in Galilee, 
 chased them with a great slaughter, until they were passed Da- 
 mascus and the borders thereof.

 6 And the residue that dwelt in Bethulia, fell upon the camp 
 of Assur, and spoiled them, and were greatly enriched. 
 
 7 And the children of Israel that returned from the slaughter, 
 had that which remained; and the villages and the cities, that 
 were in the mountains and in the plain, gat many spoils : for the 
 multitude was very great. 
 
 8 Then Joacim the high priest, and the ancients of the chil- 
 dren of Israel that dwelt in Jerusalem, came to behold the good 
 things that God had showed to Israel, and to see Judith, and to 
 salute her. 
 
 9 And when they came unto her, they blessed her with one 
 accord, and said unto her, Thou art the exaltation of Jerusalem, 
 Ihou art the great glory of Israel, thou art the great rejoicing of 
 our nation : 
 
 10 Thou hast done all these things by thine hand : thou hast 
 done much good to Israel, and God is pleased therewith : blessed 
 be thou of the Almighty Lord for evermore. And all the people 
 said, So be it. 
 
 11 And the people spoiled the camp the space of thirty days : 
 and they gave unto Judith Holofernes' tent, and all his plate, 
 and beds, and vessels, and all his stuff: and she took it, and laid 
 it on her mule ; and made ready her carts, and laid them thereon. 
 
 12 Then all the women of Israel ran together to see her, and 
 blessed her, and made a dance among them for her : and she took 
 branches in her hand, and gave also the women that were with her. 
 
 13 And they put a garland of olive upon her and her maid 
 that was with her, and she went before all the people in the 
 dance leading all the women : and all the men of Israel followed 
 in their armour with garlands, and with songs in their mouths. 
 
 CHAPTER XVI. 
 
 1 The song of Judith. 19 She dedicateth the stuff of Holofernes. 23 
 She dieth at Bethulia, a nvidcw of great honour. 24 All Israel la- 
 ment her death. 
 
 rPHEN Judith began to sing this thanksgiving in all Israel, and 
 -L all the people sang after her this song of praise. 
 
 2 And Judith said, Begin unto my God with timbrels, sing 
 nnto my Lord with cymbals : tune unto him a new psalm : exalt 
 him, and call upon his name. 
 
 3 For God breaketh the battles : for among the camps in the 
 midst of the people he hath delivered me out of the hands of 
 them that persecuted me. 
 
 4 Assur came out of the mountains from the north, he came 
 with ten thousands of his army, the multitude whereof stopped 
 the torrents, and their horsemen have covered the hills 
 
 5 He bragged that he would burn up my borders, and kill my 
 young men with the sword, and dash the sucking children against 
 the ground, and make mine infants as a prey, and my virgins as 
 i spoil. 
 
 6 But the Almighty Lord hath disappointed them by the hand 
 of a woman. 
 
 7 For the mighty one did not fall by the young men, neither 
 did the sons of the Titans smite him, nor high giants set upon 
 him : but Judith the daughter of Merari weakened him with the 
 beauty of her countenance. 
 
 40 
 
 8 For she put off the garment of her widowhood for the oxal- 
 tation of those that were oppressed in Israel, and anointed her 
 face with ointment, and bound her hair in a tire, and took a linen 
 garment to deceive him. 
 
 9 Her sandals ravished his eyes, her beauty took his mind 
 prisoner, and the fauchion passed through his neck. 
 
 10 The Persians quaked at her boldness, and the Medea were 
 daunted at her hardiness. 
 
 11 Then my afflicted shouted for joy, and my weak ones cried 
 aloud ; but they were astonished : these lifted up their voices, 
 but they were overthrown. 
 
 12 The sons of the damsels have pierced them through, and 
 wounded them as fugitives' children : they perished by the battle 
 of the Lord. 
 
 13 I will sing unto the Lord a new song : Lord, thou art 
 great and glorious, wonderful in strength, and invincible. 
 
 14 Let all creatures serve thee ; for thou spakest, and they 
 were made, thou didst send forth thy spirit, and it created them, 
 and there is none that can resist thy voice. 
 
 15 For the mountains shall be moved from their foundations 
 with the waters, the rocks shall melt as wax at thy presence : yet 
 thou art merciful to them that fear thee. 
 
 16 For all sacrifice is too little for a sweet savour unto thee, 
 and all the fat is not sufficient for thy burnt-offering : but he that 
 feareth the Lord is great at all times. 
 
 17 Woe to the nations that rise up against my kindred ! the 
 Lord Almighty will take vengeance of them in the day of judg- 
 ment, in putting fire and worms in their flesh ; and they shall 
 feel them, and weep for ever. 
 
 18 Now as soon as they entered into Jerusalem, they wor- 
 shipped the Lord : and as soon as the people were purified, they 
 offered their burnt-offerings, and their free-offerings, and their 
 gifts. 
 
 19 Judith also dedicated all the stuff of Holofernes, which the 
 people had given her, and gave the canopy, which she had taken 
 out of his bed-chamber, for a gift unto the Lord. 
 
 20 So the people continued feasting in Jerusalem before the 
 sanctuary for the space of three months, and Judith remained 
 with them. 
 
 21 After this time every one returned to his own inheritance^, 
 and Judith went to Bethulia, and remained in her own posses- 
 sion, and was in her time honourable in all the country. 
 
 22 And many desired her, but none knew her all the days of 
 her life, after that Manasses her husband was dead, and was 
 gathered to his people. 
 
 23 But she increased more and more in honour, and waxed 
 old in her husband's house, being an hundred and fivo years old, 
 and made her maid free ; so she died in Bethulia ■ and they 
 buried her in the cave of her husband Manasses. 
 
 24 And the house of Israel lamented her seven days : and 
 before she died, she did distribute her goods to all them that 
 were nearest of kindred to Manasses her husband, ai>d to their 
 that were the nearest of her kindred. 
 
 25 And there was none that made the children of Israel any 
 more afraid in the days of Judith, nor a long time after hex 
 death

 PART OF THE TENTH CHAPTER AFTER THE GREEK. 
 
 Mardocheus remembereth and expoundeth his dream of the river and 
 the two dragons. 
 
 THEN Mardocheus said, God hath done these things. 
 5 For I remember a dream which I saw concerning these 
 matters ; and nothing thereof hath failed. 
 
 6 A little fountain became a river, and there was light, and 
 the sun, and much water : this river is Esther, whom the king 
 married, and made queen. 
 
 7 And the two dragons are I and Aman. 
 
 8 And the nations were those that were assembled to destroy 
 the name of the Jews : 
 
 9 And my nation is this Israel, which cried to God, and were 
 saved : for the Lord hath saved his people, and the Lord hath 
 delivered us from all those evils, and God hath wrought signs 
 and great wonders, which have not been done among the Gentiles. 
 
 10 Therefore hath he made two lots, one for the people of 
 God, and another for all the Gentiles. 
 
 11 And these two lots came at the hour, and time, and day 
 of judgment, before God among all nations. 
 
 12 So Gcd remembered his people, and justified his inherit- 
 ance. 
 
 13 Therefore those days shall he unto them in the month 
 Adar, the fourteenth and fifteenth day of the same month, with 
 an assembly, and joy, and with gladness before God, according 
 o the generations for ever among his people. 
 
 CHAPTER XL 
 
 3 The stock and quality of Mardocheus : 6 he dreameth of two dragons 
 coming forth to fight, 10 and of a little fountain which became a 
 great water. 
 
 IN the fourth year of the reign of Ptolemeus and Cleopatra, 
 Dositheus, who said he was a priest and Levite, and Ptole- 
 meus his son, brought this epistle of Phurim, which they said 
 was the same, and that Lysimachus the son of Ptolemeus, that 
 was in Jerusalem, had interpreted it. 
 
 2 In the second year of the reign of Artaxerxes the great, in 
 the first day of the month Nisan, Mardocheus the son of Jairus, 
 the son of Seniel, the son of Cisai of the tribe of Benjamin, had 
 a dream ; 
 
 3 Who was a Jew, and dwelt in the city of Susa, a great man, 
 being a servitor in the king's court. 
 
 4 He was also one of the captives, which Nabuchodonosor the 
 king of Babylon carried from Jerusalem with Jechonias king of 
 Judea ; and this was his dream. 
 
 5 Behold a noise of a tumult, with thunder, and earthquakes, 
 and uproar in the land : 
 
 6 And behold, two great dragons came forth ready to fight, 
 and their cry was great. 
 
 7 And at their cry all nations were prepared to battle, that 
 they might fight against the righteous people. 
 
 8 And lo a day of darkness and obscurity, tribulation and an- 
 guish, affliction and great uproar, upon the earth. 
 
 9 And the whole righteous nation was troubled, fearing their 
 own evils, and were ready to perish 
 
 10 Then they cried unto God, and upon their cry, as it were 
 from a little fountain, was made a great flood, even much M'ater. 
 
 1 1 The light and the sun rose up, and the lowly were exalted, 
 and devoured the glorious. 
 
 12 Now when Mardocheus, who had seen this dream, and 
 what God had determined to do, was awake, he bare this dream 
 in mind, and until uight by all means was desirous to know it.

 CHAPTER XII. 
 
 2 The conspiracy of the two eunuchs is discovered by Mardocheos, 6 
 for which he is entertained by the king, and rewarded. 
 
 AND Mardocheus took his rest in the court with Gabatha and 
 Tharra, the two eunuchs of the king, and keepers of the 
 palace. 
 
 2 And he heard their devices, and searched out their purposes, 
 and learned that they were about to lay hands upon Artaxerxes 
 the king; and so he certified the king of them. 
 
 3 Then the king examined the two eunuchs, and after that 
 they had confessed it, they were strangled. 
 
 4 And the king made a record of these things, and Mardocheus 
 also wrote thereof. 
 
 5 So the king commanded Mardocheus to serve in the court, 
 and for this he rewarded him. 
 
 6 Howbeit Aman the son of Amadathus the Agagite, who 
 was in great honour with the king, sought to molest Mardocheus 
 and his people because of the two eunuchs of the king. 
 
 CHAPTER XIII. 
 
 1 The copy of the king's letters to destroy the Jews. 
 Mardocheus for them. 
 
 8 The prayer of 
 
 THE copy of the letters was this: The great king Artaxerxes 
 writeth these things to the princes and governors that are 
 under him from India unto Ethiopia, in an hundred and seven 
 and twenty provinces. 
 
 2 After that I became lord over many nations, and had do- 
 minion over the whole world, not lifted up with presumption of 
 my authority, but carrying myself always with equity and mild- 
 ness, I purposed to settle my subjects continually in a quiet life, 
 and making my kingdom peaceable, and open for passage to the 
 utmost coasts, to renew peace which is desired of all men. 
 
 3 Now when I asked my counsellors how this might be brought 
 to pass, Aman that excelled in wisdom among us, and was ap- 
 proved for his constant good will and steadfast fidelity, and had 
 the honour of the second place in the kingdom, 
 
 4 Declared unto us, that in all nations throughout the world 
 there was scattered a certain malicious people, that had laws con- 
 trary to all nations, and continually despised the commandments 
 of kings, so as the uniting of our kingdoms, honourably intended 
 by us, cannot go forward. 
 
 5 Seeing then we understand that this people alone is contin- 
 ually in opposition unto all men, differing in the strange manner 
 of their laws, and evil-affected to our state, working all the mis- 
 chief they can, that our kingdom may not be firmly established . 
 
 6 Therefore have we commanded, that all they that are sign' 
 fied in writing unto you by Aman, who is ordained over Uie 
 affairs, and is next unto us, shall all with their wives and chil- 
 dren be utterly destroyed by the sword of their enemies, without 
 all mercy and pity, the fourteenth day of the twelfth mouth Adar 
 of this present year : 
 
 7 That they who of old and now also are malicious, may in 
 one day with violence go into the grave, and so ever hereafter 
 cause our affairs to be well settled, and without trouble. 
 
 8 Then Mardocheus thought upon all the works of the Lord, 
 and made his prayer unto him, 
 
 9 Saying, Lord, Lord, the King Almighty : for the whole 
 world is in thy power, and if thou hast appointed to save Israel, 
 there is no man that can gainsay thee : 
 
 10 For thou hast made heaven and earth, and all the wondrous 
 things under the heaven. 
 
 11 Thou art Lord of all things, and there is no man that can 
 resist thee, which art the Lord.

 12 Thou knowest all things, and thou knowest, Lord, that it 
 was neither in contempt nor pride, nor for any desire of glory, 
 !.h;it I did not bow down to proud Arnan. 
 
 13 For I could have been content with good will for the sal- 
 vation of Israel to kiss tbc soles of his feet. 
 
 14 But I did this, that I might not prefer the glory of man 
 above the glory of God : neither will I worship any but thee, 
 God, neither will I do it in pride. 
 
 15 And now, Lord God and King, spare thy people : for 
 their eyes are upon us to bring us to nought ; yea, they desire to 
 destroy the inheritance, that hath been thine from the beginning. 
 
 16 Despise not the portion which thou hast delivered out of 
 Egypt for thine own self. 
 
 17 Hear my prayer, and be merciful unto thine inheritance : 
 turn our sorrow into joy, that we may live, Lord, and praise 
 thy name : and destroy not the mouths of them that praise thee, 
 Lord. 
 
 18 All Israel in like manner cried most earnestly unto the 
 Lord, because their death was before their eyes. 
 
 CHAPTER XIV. 
 
 The prayer of queen Esther for herself, and her people. 
 
 QUEEN Esther also, being in fear of death, resorted unto the 
 Lord: 
 
 2 And laid away her glorious apparel, and put on the gar- 
 ments of anguish and mourning : and instead of precious oint- 
 ments, she covered her head with ashes and dung, and she 
 humbled her body greatly, and all the places of her joy she filled 
 with her torn hair. 
 
 3 And she prayed unto the Lord God of Israel, saying, my 
 Lord, thou only art our King : help me, desolate woman, which 
 have no helper but thee : 
 
 4 For my danger is in mine hand. 
 
 5 From my youth up I have heard in the tribe of my family, 
 that thou, Lord, tookest Israel from among all people, and our 
 fathers from all their predecessors, for a perpetual inheritance, 
 and thou hast performed whatsoever thou didst promise them. 
 
 6 And now we have sinned before thee : therefore hast thou 
 given us into the hands of our enemies, 
 
 7 Because we worshipped their gods : Lord, thou art right- 
 eous. 
 
 8 Nevertheless it satisfieth them not, that we are in bitter 
 captivity : but they have stricken hands with their idols, 
 
 9 That they will abolish the thing that thou with thy mouth 
 hast ordained, and destroy thine inheritance, and stop the mouth 
 of them that praise thee, and quench the glory of thy house, and 
 of thine altar, 
 
 10 And open the mouths of the heathen to set forth the praises 
 of the idols, and to magnify a fleshly king for ever. 
 
 11 Lord, give not thy sceptre unto them that be nothing, 
 and let them not laugh at our fall ; but turn their device upon 
 themselves, and make him an example, that hath begun this 
 
 gainst us. 
 
 12 Remember, Lord, make thyself known in time of our 
 • filiation, and give me boldness, King of the nations, and Lord 
 
 of all power. 
 
 13 Give me eloquent speech in my mouth before the lion: 
 turn his heart to hate him that fighteth against us, that there 
 may be an end of him, and of all that are like-minded to him : 
 
 14 But deliver us with thine hand, and help me that am deso- 
 late, and which have no other helper but thee. 
 
 15 Thou knowest all things, Lord; thou knowest that I 
 hate the glory of the unrighteous, and abhor the bed of the un- 
 circumcised, and of all the heathen. 
 
 16 Thou knowest my necessity : for I abhor the sign of my 
 high estate, which is upon mine head in the days wherein I show 
 myself, and that I abhor it as a menstruous rag, and that I wear 
 it not when I am private by myself. 
 
 17 And that thine handmaid hath not eaten at Aman's table, 
 
 42 
 
 and that I have not greatly esteemed the king's feast, nor drunk 
 the wine of the drink-offerings. 
 
 18 Neither had thine handmaid any joy since the day that 1 
 was brought hither to this present, but in thee, Lord God of 
 Abraham. 
 
 19 thou mighty God above all, hear the voice of the forlorn, 
 and deliver us out of the hands of the mischievous, and deliver 
 me out of my fear. 
 
 CHAPTER XV. 
 
 6 Esther cometh into the king's presence. 7 He looketh angrily, and 
 she fainteih. 8 The king taketh her up and comforteth her. 
 
 AND upon the third day, when she had ended her prayer, she 
 laid away her mourning garments, and put on her glorious 
 apparel. 
 
 2 And being gloriously adorned, after she had called upon 
 God, who is the beholder and saviour of all things, she took two 
 maids with her : 
 
 3 And upon the one she leaned, as carrying herself daintily; 
 
 4 And the other followed, bearing up her train. 
 
 5 And she was ruddy through the perfection of her beauty, 
 and her countenance was cheerful and very amiable : but her 
 heart was in anguish for fear. 
 
 6 Then having passed through all the doors, she stood bef^ic 
 the king, who sat upon his royal throne, aud was clothed with all 
 his robes of majesty, all glittering with gold and precious stones; 
 and he was very dreadful. 
 
 7 Then lifting up his countenance that shone with majesty, 
 he looked very fiercely upon her : and the queen fell down, and 
 was pale, and fainted, and bowed herself upon the head of the 
 maid that went before her. 
 
 8 Then God changed the spirit of the king into mildness, who 
 in a fear leaped from his throne, and took her in his arms, till 
 she came to herself again, and comforted her with loving words, 
 and said unto her, 
 
 9 Esther, what is the matter? I am thy brother, be of good 
 cheer : 
 
 10 Thou shalt not die, though our commandment be general: 
 come near. 
 
 11 And so he held up his golden sceptre, and laid it upon her 
 neck, 
 
 12 And embraced her, and said, Speak unto me. 
 
 13 Then said she unto him, I saw thee, my lord, as an angel 
 of God, and my heart was troubled for fear of thy majesty. 
 
 14 For wonderful art thou, lord, and thy countenance is full 
 of grace. 
 
 15 And as she was speaking, she fell down for faintness. 
 
 16 Then the king was troubled, and all his servants comforted 
 her. 
 
 CHAPTER XVI. 
 
 1 The letter of Artaxerxes, 10 wherein he taxeth Aman, 17 and revok 
 eth the decree procured by Aman to destroy the Jews, 22 and com- 
 mandeth the day of their deliverance to he kept holy. 
 
 rPHE great king Artaxerxes unto the princes and governors oi 
 J- an hundred and seven and twenty provinces, from India unt> 
 Ethiopia, and unto all our faithful subjects, greeting. 
 
 2 Many, the more often they are honoured with the great 
 bounty of their gracious princes, the more proud they are waxen, 
 
 3 And endeavour to hurt not our subjects only, but not being 
 able to bear abundance, do take in hand to practise also against 
 those that do them good : 
 
 4 And take not only thankfulness away from among men, but 
 also lifted up with the glorious words of lewd persons, that were 
 never good, they think to escape the justice of God. that seetb 
 all things, and hateth evil. 
 
 5 Oftentimes also fair speech of those that are put in trust to 
 manage their friends' affairs, hath caused many that are in au- 
 thority to be partakers of innocent blood, and hath enwrapped 
 them in remediless calamities : 
 
Apocrypha. 
 
 CHAP. 1, II 
 
 ApocrTiha. 
 
 6 Beguiling with the falsehood and deceit of their lewd dispo- 
 sition the innocency and goodness of princes. 
 
 7 Now ye may see this, as we have declared, not so much by 
 ancient histories, as ye may, if ye search what bath been wickedly 
 done of late through the pestileut behaviour of them that are 
 unworthily placed in authority. 
 
 8 And we must take care for the time to come, that our king- 
 c/om may be quiet and peaceable for all men, 
 
 9 Both by changing our purposes, and always judging things 
 that are evident with more equal proceeding. 
 
 10 For Aman, a Macedonian, the son of Amadatha, being in- 
 deed a stranger from the Persian blood, and far distant from our 
 goodness, and as a stranger received of us, 
 
 11 Had so far forth obtained the favour that we show towards 
 every nation, as that he was called our father, and was continually 
 honoured of all men, as the next person unto the king. 
 
 12 But he, not bearing his great dignity, went about to de- 
 prive us of our kingdom and life : 
 
 13 Having by manifold and cunning deceits sought of us the 
 destruction as well of Mardocheus, who saved our life, and con- 
 tinually procured our good, as also of blameless Esther, partaker 
 of our kingdom, with their whole nation. 
 
 14 For by these means he thought, finding us destitute of 
 friends, to have translated the kingdom of the Persians to the 
 Macedonians. 
 
 15 But we find that the Jews, whom this wicked wretch hath 
 
 delivered to utter destruction, are no evil-doers, but live by mosf 
 just laws : 
 
 16 And that they be children of the most high and most 
 mighty living God, who hath ordered the kingdom both unto ua 
 and to our progenitors in the most excellent manner. 
 
 17 Wherefore ye shall do well not to put iu execution th« 
 letters sent unto you by Aman the son of Amadatha. 
 
 18 For he, that was the worker of these things, is hanged at 
 the gates of Susa with all his family : God, who rukth all things 
 speedily rendering vengeauce to him according to his deserts. 
 
 19 Therefore ye shall publish the copy of this letter in o\ 
 places, that the Jews may freely live after their own laws. 
 
 20 And ye shall aid them, that even the same day, being the 
 thirteenth day of the twelfth month Adar, they may be avenged 
 on them, who in the time of their affliction shall set upon them. 
 
 21 Fur Almighty God hath turned to joy unto them the day 
 wherein the chosen people should have perished. 
 
 22 Ye shall therefore among your solemn feasts keep it an high 
 day with all feasting : 
 
 23 That both now and hereafter there may be safety to us, 
 and the well-affected Persians; but to those which do conspire 
 against us, a memorial of destruction. 
 
 24 Therefore every city and country whatsoever, which shall 
 not do according to these things, shall be destroyed without mercy, 
 with fire and sword, and shall be made not only unpassable for 
 men, but also most hateful to wild beasts and fowls for ever. 
 
 THE WISDOM OF SOLOMON. 
 
 CHAPTER I. 
 
 2 To whom God showeth himself, 4 and wisdom herself. 6 An evil 
 speaker cannot lie hid. 12 We procure our own destruction: 13 
 For God created not death. 
 
 LOVE righteousness, ye that be judges of the earth : think of 
 the Lord with a good (heart,) and in simplicity of heart seek 
 ^im. 
 
 2 For he will be found of them that tempt him not; and 
 showeth himself unto such as do not distrust him. 
 
 3 For froward thoughts separate from God : and his power, 
 when it is tried, reproveth the unwise. 
 
 4 For into a malicious soul wisdom shall not enter; nor dwell 
 in the body that is subject unto sin. 
 
 5 For the holy spirit of discipline will flee deceit, and remove 
 from thoughts that are without understanding, and will not abide 
 when unrighteousness cometh in. 
 
 6 For wisdom is a loving spirit ; and will not acquit a blas- 
 phemer of his words : for God is witness of his reins, and a 
 true beholder of his heart, and a hearer of his tongue. 
 
 7 For the Spirit of the Lord filleth the world : and that which 
 containeth all things, hath knowledge of the voice. 
 
 8 Therefore he that speaketh unrighteous things cannot be 
 hid : neither shall vengeance, when it punisheth, pass by him. 
 
 9 Fo> inquisition shall be made into the counsels of the un- 
 godly : and the sound of his words shall come unto the Lord for 
 the manifestation of his wicked deeds. 
 
 10 For the ear of jealousy heareth all things : and the noise 
 of murmurings is not hid. 
 
 11 Therefore beware of murmuring, which is unprofitable; 
 and refrain your tongue from backbiting : for there is no word 
 bo secret, that shall go for nought : and the mouth that belieth, 
 slayeth the soul. 
 
 12 Seek not death in the error of your life : and pull not upon 
 yourselves destruction with the works of your hands. 
 
 13 For God made not death : neither hath he pleasure in the 
 destruction of the living. 
 
 14 For he created all things, that they might have their being : 
 
 and the generations of the world were healthful ; and there is no 
 poison of destruction in them, nor the kingdom of death upon 
 the earth : 
 
 15 (For righteousness is immortal :) 
 
 16 But ungodly men with their works and words called it to 
 them : for when they thought to have it their friend, they coi- 
 sumed to nought, and made a covenant with it, because they are 
 worthy to take part with it. 
 
 CHAPTER II. 
 
 1 The wicked think this life short, 5 and of no other after this. 6 
 Therefore they will take their pleasure in this, 10 and conspire 
 against the just. 21 What that is which doth blind them. 
 
 FOR the ungodly said, reasoning with themselves, but not 
 aright, Our life is short and tedious, and in the death of a 
 man there is no remedy : neither was there any man known to 
 have returned from the grave. 
 
 2 For we are born at all adventure : and we shall he hereafter 
 as though we had never been : for the breath in our nostrils is 
 as smoke, and a little spark in the moving of our heart : 
 
 3 Which being extinguished, our body shall be turned into 
 ashes, and our spirit shall vanish as the soft air, 
 
 4 And our name shall be forgotten iu time, and no man shall 
 have our works in remembrance, and our life shall pass away as 
 the trace of a cloud, and shall be dispersed as the mist that i? 
 driven away with the beams of the sun, and overcome with the 
 heat thereof. 
 
 5 For our time is a very shadow that passeth away; and after 
 our end there is no returning : for it is fast sealed, so that no 
 man cometh again. 
 
 6 Come on therefore, let us enjoy the good things that are 
 present : and let us speedily use the creatures like as in youth. 
 
 7 Let us fill ourselves with costly wine and ointments : and 
 let no flower of the spring pass by us : 
 
 8 Let us crown ourselves with rose-buds before they be 
 withered. 
 
 9 Let none of us go without his part of our voluptuousness :

 WISDOM OF SOLOMON. 
 
 Apocrypha. 
 
 let ub leave tokens of. our joyfulness in every place: for this is 
 our portion, and our lot is this. 
 
 10 Let us oppress the poor righteous man, let us not spare the 
 widow, nor reverence the ancient gray hairs of the aged. 
 
 1 1 Let our strength he the law of justice : for that which is 
 feeble is found to be nomiug worth. 
 
 12 Therefore let us he in wait for the righteous; because he is 
 not for our turn, and he is clean contrary to our doings : he up- 
 braidcth us with our offending the law, and objecteth to our 
 infamy the transgressions of our education. 
 
 13 He professeth to have the knowledge of God : and he call- 
 eth himself the child of the Lord. 
 
 14 He was made to reprove our thoughts. 
 
 15 He is grievous unto us even to behold : for his life is not 
 like other men's, his ways are of another fashion. 
 
 16 We are esteemed of him as counterfeits : he abstaineth 
 from our ways as from filthiness : he pronounceth the end of the 
 just to be blessed, and maketh his boast that God is his father. 
 
 17 Let us see if his words be true: and let us prove what 
 shall happen in the end of him. 
 
 18 For if the just man be the son of God, he will help him, 
 and deliver him from the hand of his enemies. 
 
 19 Let us examine him with despitefulness and torture, that 
 we may know his meekness, and prove his patience. 
 
 20 Let us condemn him with a shameful death : for by his 
 own saying he shall be respected. 
 
 21 Such things they did imagine, and were deceived: for 
 their own wickedness hath blinded them. 
 
 22 As for the mysteries of God, they knew them not : neither 
 hoped they for the wages of righteousness, nor discerned a re- 
 ward for blameless souls. 
 
 23 For God created man to be immortal, and made him to be 
 an image of his own eternity. 
 
 24 Nevertheless, through envy of the devil came death into 
 the world : and they that do hold of his side do find it. 
 
 CHAPTER III. 
 
 1 The godly are happy in their death, 5 and in their troubles : The 
 wicked are not, nor their children. 13 But they that are pure, are 
 happy, though they have no children: 16 For the adulterer and his 
 seed shall perish.. 
 
 BUT the souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and 
 there shall no torment touch them. 
 
 2 In the sight of the unwise they seemed to die : and their 
 departure is taken for misery, 
 
 3 And their going from us to be utter destruction : but they 
 aie in peace. 
 
 4 For though they be punished in the sight of men, yet is 
 their hope full of immortality. 
 
 5 And having been a little chastised, they shall be greatly 
 rewarded: for God proved them, and found them worthy for 
 himself. 
 
 6 As gold in the furnace hath he tried them, and received 
 them as a burnt-offering. 
 
 7 And in the time of their visitation, they shall shine, and run 
 to and fro like sparks among the stubble. 
 
 8 They shall judge the rations, and have dominion over the 
 people, and their Lord shall reign for ever. 
 
 9 They that put their trust in him shall understand the truth : 
 and such as be faithful in love shall abide with him : for grace 
 and mercy is to his saints, and he hath care for his elect. 
 
 10 But the ungodly shall be punished according to their own 
 imaginations, which have neglected the righteous, and forsaken 
 the Lord. 
 
 11 For whoso despiseth wisdom and nurture, he is miserable, 
 and their hope is vain, their labours unfruitful, and their works 
 unprofitable : 
 
 12 Their wives are foolish, and their children wicked : 
 
 13 Their offspring is cursed. Wherefore blessed is the barren 
 that is undefiled, which hath not known the sinful bed : she shall 
 have fruit in the visitation of souls. 
 
 44 
 
 14 And blessed is the eunuch, which with his hands hath 
 wrought no iniquity, nor imagined wicked things against God : 
 for unto him shall be given the special gift of faith, and an in- 
 heritance in the temple of the Lord more acceptable to his mind. 
 
 15 For glorious is the fruit of good labours : and the root of 
 wisdom shall never fall away. 
 
 16 As for the children of adulterers, they shall not come to 
 their perfection, and the seed of an unrighteous bed shall lie 
 rooted out. 
 
 17 For though they live long, yet shall they be nothing r<>- 
 garded : and their last age shall be without honour. 
 
 18 Or, if they die quickly, they have no hope, neither comfort 
 in the day of trial. 
 
 19 For horrible is the end of the unrighteous generation. 
 
 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 1 The chaste man shall be crowned. 8 Bastard slips shall not thrive 
 6 They shall witness against their parents.. 7 The just die young, 
 and are happy. 19 The miserable end of the wicked. 
 
 BETTER it is to have no children, and to have virtue : for the 
 memorial thereof is immortal : because it is known with God, 
 and with men. 
 
 2 When it is present, men take example at it; and when it is 
 gone, they desire it : it weareth a crown, and triumpheth for 
 ever, having gotten the victory, striving for undefiled rewards. 
 
 3 But the multiplying brood of the ungodly shall not thrive, 
 nor take deep rooting from bastard slips, nor lay any fast foun- 
 dation. 
 
 4 For though they flourish in branches for a time ; yet stand- 
 ing not fast, they shall be shaken with the wind, and through the 
 force of winds they shall be rooted out. 
 
 5 The imperfect branches shall be broken off, their fruit un- 
 profitable, not ripe to eat, yea, meet for nothing. 
 
 6 For children begotten of unlawful beds, are witnesses of 
 wickedness against their parents in their trial. 
 
 7 But though the righteous be prevented with death, yet shall 
 he be at rest 
 
 8 For honourable age is not that which standeth in length of 
 time, nor that is measured by number of years. 
 
 9 But wisdom is the grey hair unto men, and an unspotted 
 life is old age. 
 
 10 He pleased God, and was beloved of him : so that living 
 among sinners he was translated. 
 
 11 Yea, speedily was he taken away, lest that wickedness 
 should alter his understanding, or deceit beguile his soul. 
 
 12 For the bewitching of naughtiness doth obscure things 
 that are honest ; and the wandering of concupiscence doth under- 
 mine the simple mind. 
 
 13 He, being made perfect in a short time, fulfilled a long 
 time : 
 
 14 For his soul pleased the Lord : therefore hasted he to take 
 him away from among the wicked. 
 
 15 This the people saw, and understood it not, neither laid 
 they up this in their minds, That his grace and mercy is with 
 his saints, and that he hath respect unto his chosen. 
 
 16 Thus the righteous that is dead shall condemn the ungodly 
 which are living; and youth that is soon perfected, the many 
 years and old age of the unrighteous. 
 
 17 For they shall see the end of the wise, and shall not un- 
 derstand what God in his counsel hath decreed of him, and to 
 what end the Lord hath set him in safety. 
 
 18 They shall see him, and despise him; but God shall laugh 
 them to scorn : and they shall hereafter be a vile carcase, and a 
 reproach among the dead for evermore. 
 
 19 For he shall rend them, and cast them down headlong, 
 that they shall be speechless ; and he shall shake thern from the 
 foundation ; and they shall be utterly laid waste, and be in sor- 
 row ; and their memorial shall perish. 
 
 20 And when they cast up the accounts of their sins, they 
 shall come with fear: and their own iniquities shall convince 
 them to their face.

 CHAPTER V. 
 
 1 The wicked shall wonder at the godly, 4 and confess their error, 6 
 and the vanity of their lives. 15 God will reward the just, 17 and 
 war against the wicked 
 
 'PIIEN shall the righteous man stand in great boldness before 
 »- the face of such as have afflicted him, and made no account 
 of his labours. 
 
 2 When they see it, they shall be troubled with terrible fear, 
 and shall be amazed at the strangeness of his salvation, so far 
 beyond all that they looked for. 
 
 3 And they repenting and groaning for anguish of spirit shall 
 say within themselves, This was he, whom we had sometimes in 
 derision, and a proverb of reproach : 
 
 4 We fools accouuted his life madness, and his end to be with- 
 out honour : 
 
 5 How is he numbered among the children of God, and his 
 lot is among the saints ! 
 
 6 Therefore have we erred from the way of truth, and the 
 lh'ht of righteousness hath not shined unto us, and the sun of 
 righteousness rose not upon us. 
 
 7 We wearied ourselves in the way of wickedness and destruc- 
 tion : yea, we have gone through deserts, where there lay no way : 
 but as for the way of the Lord, we have not known it. 
 
 8 What hath pride profited us ? or what good hath riches with 
 our vaunting brought us ? 
 
 9 All those things are passed away like a shadow, and as a 
 post that hasteth by; 
 
 10 And as a ship that passeth over the waves of the water, 
 which when it is gone by, the trace thereof cannot be found, 
 neither the pathway of the keel in the waves : 
 
 11 Or as when a bird hath flown through the air, there is no 
 token of her way to be found, but the light air being beaten with 
 the stroke of her wings, and parted with the violent noise and 
 motion of them, is passed through, and therein afterward no sign 
 where she went is to be found ; 
 
 12 Or like as when an arrow is shot at a mark, it parteth the 
 air, which immediately cometh together again, so that a man can- 
 not know where it went through : 
 
 13 Even so we in like manner, as soon as we were born, began 
 to draw to our end, and had no sign of virtue to show ; but were 
 consumed in our own wickedness. 
 
 14 For the hope of the ungodly is like dust that is blown away 
 with the wind; like a thin froth that is driven away with the 
 storm ; like as the smoke which is dispersed here and there with 
 a tempest, and passeth away as the remembrance of a guest that 
 tarrieth but a day. 
 
 15 But the righteous live for evermore ; their reward also is 
 with the Lord, and the care of them is with the Most High. 
 
 16 Therefore shall they receive a glorious kingdom, and a 
 beautiful crown from the Lord's hand : for with his right hand 
 shall he cover them, and with his arm shall he protect them. 
 
 17 He shall take to him his jealousy for complete armour, and 
 mate the creature his weapon for the revenge of his enemies. 
 
 18 He shall put on righteousness as a breastplate, and true 
 judgment instead of an helmet. 
 
 19 He shall take holiness for an invincible shield. 
 
 20 His severe wrath shall he sharpen for a sword, and the 
 world shall fight with him against the unwise. 
 
 21 Then shall the rightraiming thunderbolts go abroad; and 
 from the clouds, as from a well- drawn bow, shall they fly to the 
 mark. 
 
 22 And hailstones full of wrath shall be cast as out of a stone- 
 bow, and the water of the sea shall rage against them, and the 
 floods shall cruelly drown them. 
 
 23 Yea, a mighty wind shall -stand up against them, and like 
 a storm shall blow them away : thus iniquity shall lay waste the 
 whole earth, and ill-dealing shall overthrow the thrones of the 
 mighty. 
 
 CHAPTER VI. 
 
 1 Kings must give ear: 3 They have their power from God, 6 who will 
 not spare them. 12 Wisdom is soon found. 21 Princes must seek 
 for it: 24 For a wise prince is the stay of his people. 
 
 HEAR therefore, ye kings, and understand ; learn, ye thai 
 be judges of the ends of the earth. 
 
 2 Give ear, ye that rule the people, and glory in the multitude 
 of nations. 
 
 3 For power is given you of the Lord, and sovereignty from 
 the Highest, who shall try your works, and search out your 
 counsels. 
 
 4 Because, being ministers of his kingdom, ye have not judged 
 aright, nor kept the law, nor walked after the counsel of God ; 
 
 5 Horribly and speedily shall he come upon you : for a sharp 
 judgment shall be to them that be in high places. 
 
 6 For mercy will soon pardon the meanest : but mighty men 
 shall be mightily tormented. 
 
 7 For he which is Lord over all shall fear no man's person, 
 neither shall he stand in awe of any man's greatness : for he hath 
 made the small and great, and careth for all alike. 
 
 8 But a sore trial shall come upon the mighty. 
 
 9 Unto you therefore, kings, do I speak, that ye may learn 
 wisdom, and not fall away: 
 
 10 For they that keep holiness holily, shall be judged holy : 
 and they that have learned such things shall find what to answer. 
 
 11 Wherefore set your affection upon my words; desire them, 
 and ye shall be instructed. 
 
 12 Wisdom is glorious, and never fadeth away : yea, she is 
 easily seen of them that love her, and found of such as seek her. 
 
 13 She preventeth them that desire her, in making herself 
 first known unto them. 
 
 14 Whoso seeketh her early shall have no great travail ; for 
 he shall find her sitting at his doors. 
 
 15 To think therefore upon her is perfection of wisdom : and 
 whoso watcheth for her shall quickly be without care. 
 
 16 For she goeth about seeking such as are worthy of her, 
 showeth herself favourably unto them in the ways, and meeteth 
 them in every thought. 
 
 17 For the very true beginning of her is the desire of disci- 
 pline ; and the care of discipline is Iova ; 
 
 18 And love is the keeping of her laws; and the giving heed 
 unto her laws is the assurance of incorruption ; 
 
 19 And incorruption maketh us near unto God : 
 
 20 Therefore the desire of wisdom bringeth to a kingdom. 
 
 21 If your delight be then in thrones and sceptres, ye kings 
 of the people, honour wisdom, that ye may reign for evermore. 
 
 22 As for wisdom, what she is, and how she came up, I will 
 tell you, and will not hide mysteries from you : but will seek 
 her out from the beginning of her nativity, and bring the know- 
 ledge of her into light, and will not pass over the truth. 
 
 23 Neither will I go with consuming envy; for such a man 
 shall have no fellowship with wisdom. 
 
 24 But the multitude of the wise is the welfare of the world : 
 and a wise king is the upholding of the people. 
 
 25 Receive therefore instruction through my words, and it 
 shall do you good. 
 
 CHAPTER VII. 
 
 1 All men have their beginning and end alike: 8 He preferred wisdom 
 before all things else. 15 God gave him all the knowledge which he 
 had. 22 The praise of wisdom. 
 
 /MYSELF also am a mortal man, like to all, and the off- 
 spring of him that was first made of the earth ; 
 
 2 And in my mother's womb was fashioned to be flesh in the 
 time of ten months, being compacted in blood, of the seed of 
 man, and the pleasure that came with sleep. 
 
 3 And when I was born, I drew in the common air, and fell 
 upon the earth, which is of like nature, and the first voice which 
 I uttered was crying, as all others do. 
 
 4 I was nursed in swaddling-clothes, and that with cares.

 WISDOM OF SOLOMON. 
 
 Apoorypha. 
 
 5 For tbero is no king that had any other beginning of birth. 
 
 6 For all mtu have one entrance into life, and the like going 
 out. 
 
 7 Wherefore I prayed, and understanding was given me: I 
 ealled upon God, and the spirit of wisdom came to me. 
 
 8 I preferred her before sceptres and thrones, and esteemed 
 riches nothing in comparison of her. 
 
 9 Neither compared I unto her any precious stone, because all 
 gold in respect of her is as a little sand, and silver shall be count 
 ed as clay before her. 
 
 10 I loved her above health and beauty, and chose to have 
 her instead of light : for the light that cometh from her never 
 goeth out. 
 
 11 All good things together came to me with her, and innu- 
 merable riches in her hands. 
 
 12 And I rejoiced in them all, because wisdom goeth before 
 them : and I knew not that she was the mother of them. 
 
 13 I learned diligently, and do communicate her liberally : I 
 do not hide her riches. 
 
 14 For she is a treasure unto men, that never faileth : which 
 they that use become the friends of God, being commended for 
 the gifts that come from learning. 
 
 15 God hath granted me to speak as I would, and to conceive 
 as is meet for the things that are given me : because it is he that 
 leadeth unto wisdom, and directeth the wise. 
 
 16 For in his hand are both we and our words ; all wisdom 
 also, and knowledge of workmanship, 
 
 17 For he hath given me certain knowledge of the things that 
 are, namely, to know how the world was made, and the operation 
 of the elements : 
 
 18 The beginning, ending, and midst, of the times : the alter- 
 ations of the turnings of the sun, and the change of seasons : 
 
 19 The circuits of years, and the positions of stars : 
 
 20 The natures of living creatures, and the furies of wild 
 beasts : the violence of winds, and the reasonings of men : the 
 diversities of plants, and the virtues of roots : 
 
 21 And all such things as are either secret or manifest, them 
 
 1 know. 
 
 22 For wisdom, which is the worker of all things, taught me : 
 for in her is an understanding spirit, holy, one only, manifold, 
 subtil, lively, clear, undefiled, plain, not subject to hurt, loving 
 the thing that is good, quick, which cannot be letted, ready to do 
 good, 
 
 23 Kind to man, steadfast, sure, free from care, having all 
 power, overseeing all things, and going through all understand- 
 ing, pure and most subtil spirits. 
 
 2-1 For wisdom is more moving than any motion : she passeth 
 and goeth through all things by reason of her pureness. 
 
 25 For she is the breath of the power of God, and a pure in- 
 fluence flowing from the glory of the Almighty : therefore can 
 no defiled thing fall into her. 
 
 26 For she is the brightness of the everlasting light, the un- 
 spotted mirror of the power of God, and the image of his goodness. 
 
 27 And being but one, she can do all things : and remaining 
 in herself, she maketh all things new : and in all ages entering 
 Into holy souls, she maketh them friends of God, and prophets. 
 
 28 For God loveth none but him that dwelleth with wisdom. 
 
 29 For she is more beautiful than the sun, and above all the 
 order of stars : being compared with the light, she is found be- 
 fore it. 
 
 30 For after this cometh night: but vice shall not prevail 
 against wisdom. 
 
 CHAPTER VIII. 
 
 2 He is in love with wisdom: 4 for he that hath it, hath every good 
 
 thing. 21 It cannot be had but from God. 
 
 TyF/^ISD OM reacheth trom one end to another mightily : and 
 V f sweetly doth she order ail things. 
 
 2 I loved her, and sought her out from my youth : I desired 
 w make her my spouse- and I was a lover of her beauty 
 
 46 
 
 3 In that she is conversant with God, she magnifieth her no- 
 bility : yea, the Lord of all things himself loved her. 
 
 4 For she is privy to the mysteries of the knowledge of Godj 
 and a lover of his works. 
 
 5 If riches be a possession to be desired in this life ; what is 
 richer than wisdom, that worketh all things ? 
 
 6 And if prudence work ; who of all that are, is a more cun- 
 ning workman than she ? 
 
 7 And if a man love righteousness, her labours are virtues ' 
 for she teacheth temperance and prudence, justice and fortitude : 
 which are such things, as men can have nothing more profitable 
 in their life. 
 
 8 If a man desire much experience, she knoweth things of old, 
 and eonjectureth aright what is to come : she knoweth the sub- 
 tilties of speeches, and can expound dark sentences : she foreseetb. 
 signs and wonders, and the events of seasons and times. 
 
 9 Therefore I purposed to take her to me to live with me, 
 knowing that she would be a counsellor of good things, and a 
 comfort in cares and grief. 
 
 10 For her sake I shall have estimation among the multitude, 
 and honour with the elders, though I be young. 
 
 Ill shall be found of a quick conceit in judgment, and shall 
 be admired in the sight of great meu. 
 
 12 When I hold my tongue, they shall bide my leisure, and 
 when I speak, they shall give good ear unto me : if I talk much, 
 they shall lay their hands upon their mouth. 
 
 13 Moreover by the means of her I shall obtain immortality, 
 and leave behind me an everlasting memorial to them that come 
 after me. 
 
 14 I shall set the people in order, and the nations shall be 
 subject unto me. 
 
 15 Horrible tyrants shall be afraid when they do but hear of 
 me ; I shall be found good among the multitude, and valiant in 
 war. 
 
 16 After I have come into mine house, I will repose myself 
 with her : for her conversation hath no bitterness ; and to live 
 with her hath no sorrow, but mirth and joy. 
 
 17 Now, when I considered these things ir> myself, and pon- 
 dered them in mine heart, how that to be allied unto wisdom is 
 immortality ; 
 
 18 And great pleasure is to have her friendship; and in the 
 works of her hands are infinite riches ; and in the exercise of 
 conference with her, prudence ; and in talking with her, a good 
 report; I went about seeking how to take her to me. 
 
 19 For I was a witty child, and had a good spirit. 
 
 20 Yea rather, being good, I came into a body undefiled. 
 
 21 Nevertheless, when I perceived that I could not otherwise 
 obtain her, except God gave her me ; and that was a point of 
 wisdom also to know whose gift she was ; I prayed unto the Lord, 
 and besought him, and with my whole heart I said, 
 
 CHAPTER IX. 
 
 1 A prayer unto God for his wisdom, 6 without which the best man is 
 nothing worth, 13 neither can he tell how to please God. 
 
 0GOD of my fathers, and Lord of mercy, who hast made all 
 things with thy word, 
 
 2 And ordained man through thy wisdom, that he should have 
 dominion over the creatures which thou hast made, 
 
 3 And order the world according to equity and righteousness, 
 and execute judgment with an upright heart : 
 
 4 Give me wisdom, that sitteth by thy throne ; and reject me 
 not from among thy children : 
 
 5 For I thy servant, and son of thine handmaid, am a feeble 
 person, and of a short time, and too young for the understanding 
 of judgment and laws, 
 
 6 For though a man be never so perfect among the children 
 of men, yet if thy wisdom be not with him, he shall be nothing 
 regarded. 
 
 7 Thou hast chosen me to be a kiDg of thy people, and a jilge 
 of thy sons and daughters ; 
 
ipocrypbtt.

 8 Thov. nast commanded me to build a temple upon thy holy 
 mount, and an altar in the city wherein thou dwcllest, a resem- 
 blance of the holy tabernacle, which thou hast prepared from the 
 beginning. 
 
 9 And wisdom was with thee : which knoweth thy works, and 
 yas present when thou madest the world, and knew what was 
 acceptable in thy sight, and right in thy commandments. 
 
 10 send her out of thy holy heavens, and from the throne 
 of thy glory, that being present she may labour with me, that I 
 may know what is pleasing unto thee. 
 
 11 For she knoweth and understandeth all things, and she shall 
 lead me soberly in my doings, and preserve me in her power. 
 
 12 So shall my works be acceptable, and then shall I judge 
 thy people righteously, and bo worthy to sit in my father's seat. 
 
 13 For what-, man is he that can know the couusel of God ? 
 or why can think what the will of the Lord is ? 
 
 14 For the thoughts of mortal men are miserable, and our 
 devices are but uncertain. 
 
 15 For the corruptible body presseth down the soul, and the 
 earthly tabernacle weigheth down the mind that museth upon 
 many things. 
 
 16 And hardly do we guess aright at things that are upon 
 earth, and with labour do we find the things that are before us : 
 but the things that are in heaven who hath searched out 1 
 
 17 And thy counsel who hath known, except thou give wisdom, 
 and send thy Holy Spirit from above ? 
 
 18 For so the ways of them which lived on the earth were 
 reformed, and men were taught the things that are pleasing unto 
 thee, and were saved through wisdom. 
 
 CHAPTER X. 
 
 » What wisdom did for Adam, 4 Noe, 5 Abraham, 6 Lot, and against 
 the five cities, 10 for Jacob, 13 Joseph, 10 Moses, 17 and the Israel- 
 ites. 
 
 SHE preserved the first-formed father of the world, that was 
 created alone, and brought him out of his fall, 
 
 2 And gave him power to rule all things. 
 
 3 But when the unrighteous went away from her in his anger, 
 he perished also in the fury wherewith he murdered his brother. 
 
 4 For whose cause the earth being drowned with the flood, 
 wisdom again preserved it, and directed the course of the right- 
 eous in a piece of wood of small value. 
 
 5 Moreover, the nations in their wicked conspiracy being con- 
 founded, she found out the righteous, and preserved him blame- 
 less unto God, and kept him strong against his tender compassion 
 towards his son. 
 
 6 When the ungodly perished, she delivered the righteous 
 man, who fled from the fire which fell down upon the five cities. 
 
 7 Of whose wickedness even to this day the waste land that 
 smoketh is a testimony, and plants bearing fruit that never come 
 to ripeness : and a standing pillar of salt is a monument of an 
 unbelieving soul. 
 
 8 For regarding not wisdom, they gat not only this hurt, that 
 they knew not the things which were good ; but also left behind 
 them to the world a memorial of their foolishness : so that in the 
 things wherein they offended they could not so much as be hid. 
 
 9 But wisdom delivered from pain those that attended upon her. 
 
 10 When the righteous fled from his brother's wrath, she 
 guided him in right paths, showed him the kingdom of God, and 
 gave him knowledge of holy things, made him rich in his travels, 
 and multiplied the fruit of his labours. 
 
 11 In the covetousness of such as oppressed him she stood by 
 him, and made him rich. 
 
 12 She defended him from his enemies, and kept him safe 
 from those that lay in wait, and in a sore conflict she gave him 
 the victory ; that he might know that godliness is stronger than all. 
 
 13 When the righteous was sold, she forsook him not, but 
 delivered him from sin: she went down with him iuto the pit, 
 
 14 And left him not in bonds, till she brought him the sceptre 
 of the kingdum, and power against those that oppressed him : as 
 
 for them that had accused him, she showed them to be liars, and 
 gave him perpetual glory. 
 
 15 She delivered t lie righteous people and blameless 6ced from 
 the nation that oppressed them. 
 
 16 She entered into the soul of the servant of the Lord, and 
 withstood dreadful kings in wonders and signs; 
 
 17 Rendered to the righteous a reward of their labours, guided 
 them in a marvellous way, and was unto them for a covert by 
 day, and a light of stars in the night season ; 
 
 18 Brought them through the Red Sea, and led them through 
 much water. 
 
 19 But she drowned their enemies, and cast them up out of 
 the bottom of the deep. 
 
 20 Therefore the righteous spoiled the ungodly, and praised 
 thy holy name, Lord, and magnified with one accord thine 
 hand that fought for them. 
 
 21 For wisdom opened the mouth of the dumb, and made tha 
 tongue of them that cannot speak eloquent. 
 
 CHAPTER XI. 
 
 5 The Egyptians were punished, and the Israelites reserved, in the 
 same thing. 15 They were plagued by the same things wherein 
 they sinned. 20 God could have destroyed them otherwise, 23 but 
 he is merciful to all. 
 
 QUE prospered their works in the hand of the holy prophet. 
 O 2 They went through the wilderness that was not inhabited, 
 and pitched tents in places where there lay no way. 
 
 3 They stood against their enemies, and were avenged of their 
 adversaries. 
 
 4 When they were thirsty, they called upon thee, and water 
 was given them out of the flinty rock, and their thirst was 
 quenched out of the hard stone. 
 
 5 For by what things their enemies were punished, by the 
 same they in their need were benefited. 
 
 6 For instead of a fountain of a perpetual running river 
 troubled with foul blood, 
 
 7 For a manifest reproof of that commandment, whereby the 
 infants were slain, thou gavest unto them abundance of water by 
 a means which they hoped not for : 
 
 8 Declaring by that thirst then how thou hadst puuished their 
 adversaries. 
 
 9 For when they were tried, albeit but in mercy chastised, 
 they knew how the ungodly were judged in wrath and tormented, 
 thirsting in another manner than the just. 
 
 10 For these thou didst admonish and try, as a father : but 
 the other, as a severe king, thou didst condemn and punish. 
 
 11 Whether they were absent or present, they were vexed 
 alike. 
 
 12 For a double grief came upon them, and a groaning for 
 the remembrance of things past. 
 
 13 For when they heard by their own punishments the other 
 to be benefited, they had some feeling of the Lord. 
 
 14 For whom the}' rejected with scorn, when he was long be- 
 fore thrown out at the casting forth of the infants, him in tbo 
 end, when they saw what came to pass, they admired. 
 
 15 But for the foolish devices of their wickedness, wherewith 
 being deceived they worshipped serpents void of reason, and vile 
 beasts, thou didst send a multitude of unreasonable beasts upoti 
 them for vengeance; 
 
 16 That they might know, that wherewithal a man siuueth, 
 by the same also shall he be puuished. 
 
 17 For thy Almighty hand, that made the world of matter 
 without form, wanted not means to send among them a multi- 
 tude of bears, or fierce lions, 
 
 18 Or unknown wild beasts, full of rage, newly created, breath- 
 ing out either a fiery vapour, or filthy scents of scattered smoke, 
 or shooting horrible sparkles out of their eyes : 
 
 19 Whereof not only the harm might despatch them at onco, 
 but also the terrible sight utterly destroy them. 
 
 20 Yea, and without these might they have fallen down witi)

 one blast, being persecuted of vengeance, and scattered abroad 
 through the breath of thy power : but thou hast ordered all 
 things in measure and number and weight. 
 
 21 For thou canst show thy great strength at all times when 
 thou wilt; and who may withstand the power of thine arm? 
 
 22 For the whole world before thee is as a little grain of the 
 balance, yea, as a drop of the morning dew that falleth down 
 upon the earth. 
 
 23 But thou hast mercy upon all ; for thou canst do all things, 
 and winkest at the sins of men, because they should amend. 
 
 24 For thou lovest all the things that are, and abhorrest nothing 
 which thou hast made : for never wouldest thou have made any 
 thing, if thou hadst hated it. 
 
 25 And how could any thing have endured, if it had not been 
 thy will ? or been preserved, if not called by thee ? 
 
 26 But thou sparest all : for they are thine, Lord, thou 
 lover of souls. 
 
 CHAPTER XII. 
 
 2 God did not destroy those of Chanaan all at once. 12 If lie had 
 done so, who could control him? 19 But by sparing them he taught 
 us. 27 They were punished with their gods. 
 
 FOR thine incorruptible Spirit is in all things. 
 2 Therefore chasteneth thou them by little and little that 
 offend, and warnest them by putting them in remembrance 
 wherein they have offended, that leaving their wickedness they 
 may believe on thee, Lord. 
 
 3 For it was thy will to destroy by the hands of our fathers 
 both those old inhabitants of thy holy land, 
 
 4 Whom thou hatedst for doing most odious works of witch- 
 crafts, and wicked sacrifices; 
 
 5 And also those merciless murderers of children, and devour- 
 ers of man's flesh, and the feasts of blood, 
 
 6 With their priests out of the midst of their idolatrous crew, 
 and the parents that killed with their own hands souls destitute 
 of help : 
 
 7 That the land, which thou esteemedst above all other, might 
 receive a worthy colony of God's children. 
 
 8 Nevertheless, even those thou sparedst as men, and didst 
 send wasps, forerunners of thy host, to destroy them by little and 
 little. 
 
 9 Not that thou wast unable to bring the ungodly under the 
 hand of the righteous in battle, or to destroy them at once with 
 cruel beasts, or with one rough word : 
 
 10 But executing thy judgments upon them by little and little, 
 thou gavest them place of repentance, not being ignorant that 
 they were a naughty generation, and that their malice was bred 
 in them and that their cogitation would never be changed. 
 
 13 For it was a cursed seed from the beginning; neither didst 
 thou for fear of any man give them pardon for those things 
 wherein they sinned. 
 
 12 For who shall say, What hast thou done? or who shall 
 withstand thy judgment ? or who shall accuse thee for the nations 
 that perish, whom thou hast made? or who shall come to stand 
 against thee, to be revenged for the unrighteous men ? 
 
 13 For neither is there any God but thou that careth for all, 
 to whom thou mightest show that thy judgment is not un- 
 right. 
 
 14 Neither shall king cr tyrant be able to set his face against 
 thee for any of whom thou hast punished. 
 
 15 Forsomuch then as thou art righteous thyself, thou orderest 
 all things righteously : thinking it not agreeable with thy power 
 to condemn him that hath not deserved to be punished. 
 
 16 For thy power is the beginning of righteousness; and be- 
 cause thou art the Lord of all, it maketh thee to be gracious 
 xm to all. 
 
 .17 For when men will not believe that thou art of a full 
 power, thou showest thy strength, and among them that know it 
 thou makest their boldness manifest. 
 
 L8 But thou, mastering thy power, judgest with equity, and 
 
 48 
 
 orderest us with great favour : for thou mayest use power when 
 thou wilt. 
 
 19 But by such works hast thou taught thy people that tht 
 just man should be merciful, and hast made thy children to be 
 of a good hope that thou givest. repentance for sins. 
 
 20 For if thou didst punish the enemies of thy children, and 
 the condemned to death, with such deliberation, giving them time 
 and place, whereby they might be delivered from their malice : 
 
 21 With how great circumspection didst thou judge thine own 
 sons, unto whose fathers thou hast sworn, and made covenants of 
 good promises ? 
 
 22 Therefore, whereas thou dost chasten us, thou scourgest 
 our enemies a thousand times more, to the intent that, when we 
 judge we should carefully think of thy goodness, and when we 
 ourselves are judged, we should look for mercy. 
 
 23 Wherefore, whereas men have lived dissolutely and un- 
 righteously, thou hast tormented them with their own abomina- 
 tions. 
 
 24 For they went astray very far in the ways of error, and 
 held them for gods, which even among the beasts of their ene- 
 mies were despised, being deceived, as children of no under- 
 standing. 
 
 25 Therefore unto them, as to children without the use of 
 reason, thou didst send a judgment to mock them. 
 
 26 But they that would not be reformed by that correction, 
 wherein he dallied with them, shall feel a judgment worthy of God. 
 
 27 For, look, for what things they grudged, when they were 
 punished, that is, for them whom they thought to be gods ; [now] 
 being punished in them, when they saw it, they acknowledged 
 him to be the true God, whom before they deuied to know ; and 
 therefore came extreme damnation upon them. 
 
 CHAPTER XIII. 
 
 1 They were not excused that woi'shipped any of God's works. 10 
 But most wretched are they that worship the works of men's hands. 
 
 SURELY vain are all men by nature, who are ignorant of God, 
 and could not out of the good things that are seen know him " 
 that is : neither, by considering the works, did they acknowledge 
 the work-master; 
 
 2 But deemed either fire, or wind, or the swift air, or the circle 
 of the stars, or the violent water, or the lights of heaven, to be 
 the gods which govern the world. 
 
 3 With whose beauty if they being delighted took them to be 
 gods : let them know how much better the Lord of them is : for 
 the first author of beauty bath created them. 
 
 4 But if they were astonished at their power and virtue, let 
 them understand by them, how much mightier he is that made 
 them. 
 
 5 For by the greatness and beauty of the creatures, proportion- 
 ably the maker of them is seen. 
 
 6 But yet for this they are the less to be blamed : for they 
 pcrad venture err, seeking God, and desirous to find him. 
 
 7 For being conversant in his works, they search him diligently, 
 and believe their sight : because the things are beautiful that aie 
 seen. 
 
 8 Howbeit, neither are they to be pardoned. 
 
 9 For if they were able to know so much, that they could aim 
 at the world : how did they not sooner find out the Lord thereof? 
 
 10 But miserable are they, and in dead things is their hope, 
 who called them gods which are .he works of men's hands, gold 
 and silver, to show art in, and resemblances of beasts, or a stone 
 good for nothing, the work of an ancient hand. 
 
 11 Now a carpenter that felleth timber, after he hath sawn 
 down a tree meet for the purpose, and taken off all the bark skil- 
 fully round about, and hath wrought it handsomely, and made a 
 vessel thereof fit for the service of man's life ; 
 
 12 And after spending the refuse of his work to dress his 
 meat, hath filled himself; 
 
 13 And taking the very refuse among those which served tc 
 no use, being a crooked piece of wood, and full of knots, hath

 carved it diligently, when he had nothing else to do, and formed 
 it by the skill of his understanding, and fashioned it to the image 
 of a man ; 
 
 1-1 Or made it like some vile beast, laying it over with ver- 
 milion, and with paint colouring it red, and covering every spot 
 therein ; 
 
 15 And when he made a convenient room for it, set it in a 
 wall, and made it fast with iron : 
 
 16 For he provided for it that it might not fall, knowing that 
 it was unable to help itself; for it is an image, and hath need of 
 help : 
 
 17 Then maketh he prayer for his goods, for his wife and 
 children, and is not ashamed to speak to that which hath no life. 
 
 18 For health he called upon that which is weak : for life, 
 prayeth to that which is dead : for aid, humbly besecchetli that 
 which hath least means to help : and for a good journey, he ask- 
 elh of that which cannot set a foot forward : 
 
 19 And for gaining and getting, and for good success of liis 
 hands, asketh ability to do, of him that is most unable to do any 
 thing. 
 
 CHAPTER XIV. 
 
 I Though men do.not pray to their ships, 5 yet are they saved rather 
 by them, than by their idols. 8 Idols are accursed, and so are the 
 makers of them. 14 The beginning of idolatry, 23 and the effects 
 thereof. 30 God will punish them that swear falsely by their idols. 
 
 A GAIN, one preparing himself to sail, and about to pass 
 £j- through the raging waves, calleth upon a piece of wood, 
 more rotten than the vessel that carrieth him. 
 
 2 For verily desire of gain devised that, and the workman 
 built it by his skill. 
 
 3 But thy r ovidence, Father, governeth it : for thou hast 
 made a way in the sea, and a safe path in the waves ; 
 
 4 Showing that thou canst save from all danger : yea, though 
 a man went to sea without art. 
 
 5 Nevertheless thou wouldest not that the works of thy wis- 
 dom should be idle, and therefore do men commit their lives to 
 a small piece of wood, and passing the rough sea in a weak vessel 
 are saved. 
 
 6 For in the old time also, when the proud giants perished, 
 the hope of the world, governed by thy hand, escaped in a weak 
 vessel, and left to all ages a seed of generation. 
 
 7 For blessed is the wood whereby righteousness cometh. 
 
 8 But that which is made with hands is cursed, as well it, as 
 he that made it: he because he made it; and it, because being 
 corruptible, it was called god. 
 
 9 For the ungodly and his ungodliness are both alike hateful 
 unto God. 
 
 10 For that which is made shall be punished together with 
 him that made it. 
 
 11 Therefore even upon the idols of the Gentiles shall there 
 be a visitation : because in the creature of God they are become 
 an abomination, and stumbling-blocks to the souls of men, and a 
 «ua:-e to the feet of the unwise. 
 
 12 For the devising of idols was the beginning of spiritual 
 fornication, and the invention of them the corruption of life. 
 
 13 For neither were they from the beginning, neither shall 
 thoy be for ever. 
 
 14 For by the vain-glory of men they entered into the world, 
 and therefore shall they come shortly to an end. 
 
 15 For a father afflicted with untimely mourning, when he 
 hath made an image of his child soon taken away, now honoured 
 him as a god, which was then a dead man, and delivered to those 
 that were under him ceremonies aud sacrifices. 
 
 16 Thus in process of time an ungodly custom grown strong 
 was kept as a law, and graven images were worshipped by the 
 commandments of kings. 
 
 17 Whom men could not. honour in presence, because they 
 dwelt far off, they took the counterfeit of his visage from far, and 
 oade an express image of a kiug whom they hououred, to the 
 
 4 G 
 
 end that by this their frowardncss they might flatter him that 
 was absent, as if lie were present. 
 
 18 Also the singular diligence of the artificer did help to set 
 forward the ignorant to more superstition. 
 
 19 For he, peradventure, willing to please one in auth 
 forced all his skill to make the resemblance of the besf fashion. 
 
 20 And so the multitude allured by the grace of the work, 
 took him now for a god, which a little before was but honoured 
 as a man. 
 
 21 And this was an occasion to deceive the world : for men, 
 serving either calamity or tyranny, did ascribe unto stones and 
 stocks the incommunicable name. 
 
 22 Moreover, this was not enough for them, that they erred 
 in the knowledge of God; but whereas they lived in the great 
 war of ignorance, those so great plagues called they peace. 
 
 23 For whilst they slew their children in sacrifices, or used 
 secret ceremonies, or made revellings of strange rites ; 
 
 24 They kept neither lives nor marriages any longer undc 
 filed : but either one slew another traitorously, or grieved him 
 by adidtery. 
 
 25 So that there reigned in all men without exception, blood, 
 manslaughter, theft, and dissimulation, corruption, unfaithfulness, 
 tumults, perjury, 
 
 26 Disquieting of good men, forgctfulncss of good turns, de- 
 filing of souls, changing of kind, disorder in marriages, adultery, 
 and shameless uncleanness. 
 
 27 For the worshipping of idols not to be named is the begin- 
 ning, the cause, and the end, of all evil. 
 
 28 For either they are mad when they be merry, or prophesy 
 lies, or live unjustly, or else lightly forswear themselves. 
 
 29 For insomuch as their trust is in idols which have no life ; 
 though they swear falsely, yet they look not to be hurt. 
 
 30 Howbcit, for both causes shall they be justly punished : 
 both because they thought not well of God, giving heed unto 
 idols, and also unjustly swore in deceit, despising holiness. 
 
 31 For it is not the power of them by whom they swear : bu* 
 it is the just vengeance of sinners, that puuisheth always tha 
 offence of the ungodly. 
 
 CHAPTER XV. 
 
 1 We do acknowledge the true God. 7 The folly of idol-makers, 14 
 and of the enemies of God's people ; 15 because, besides the idols of 
 the Gentiles, 18 they worshipped vile beasts. 
 
 BUT thou, God, art gracious and true, long-suffering, and in 
 mercy ordering all things. 
 
 2 For if we sin, we are thine, knowing thy power: but we 
 will not sin, knowing that we are counted thine. 
 
 3 For to know thee is perfect righteousness : yea, to know thy 
 power is the root of immortality. 
 
 4 For neither did the mischievous invention of men deceivo 
 us, nor an image spotted with divers colours, the painter's fruit- 
 less labour; 
 
 5 The sight whereof enticeth fools to lust after it, and so they 
 desire the form of a dead image, that hath no breath. 
 
 6 Both they that make them, they that desire them, and they 
 that worship them, are lovers of evil things, and are worthy to 
 have such things to trust upon. 
 
 7 For the potter, tempering soft earth, fashioneth every vessel 
 with much labour for our service : yea, of the same clay he 
 maketh both the vessels that serve for clean uses, aud likewise 
 also all such as serve to the contrary : but what is the use of 
 either sort, the potter himself is the judge. 
 
 8 And employing his labours lewdly, he maketh a vain god 
 of the same clay, even he which a little before was made of earth 
 himself, and within a little while after returueth to the same, out 
 of the which he was taken, when his life which was lent him 
 shall be demanded. 
 
 9 Notwithstanding his care is, not that he shall have much 
 labour, nor that his life is short : but strivethto excel goldsmiths 
 and silversmiths, and endeavoureth to do like the workers in 
 brass, and counteth it his glory to make counterfeit things.

 10 His heart is ashes, his hope is more vile than earth, and 
 his life of less value than clay : 
 
 11 Forasmuch as he knew not his Maker, and him that in- 
 spired into him an active soul, and breathed in a living spirit. 
 
 12 But they counted our life a pastime, and our time here a 
 market for gain : for, say they, we must be getting every way, 
 though it be by evil means. 
 
 13 For this man, that of earthly matter maketh brittle vessels 
 ind graven images, knoweth himself to offend above all others. 
 
 14 And all the enemies of thy people, that hold them in sub- 
 jection, are most foolish, and are more miserable than very l»abes. 
 
 15 For they counted all the idols of the heathen to be gods: 
 which neither have the use of eyes to see, nor noses to draw 
 breath, nor ears to hear, nor fingers of hands to handle ; and as 
 for their feet, they are slow to go. 
 
 16 For man made them, and he that borrowed his own spirit 
 fashioned them : but no man can make a god like unto himself.. 
 
 17 For being mortal, he worketh a dead thing with wicked 
 bands : for he himself is better than the things which he wor- 
 shippeth : whereas he lived once, but they never. 
 
 18 Yea, they worshipped those beasts also that are most hate- 
 ful : for being compared together, some are worse than others. 
 
 19 Neither are they beautiful, so much as to be desired in 
 respect of beasts : but they went without the praise of God and 
 his blessing. 
 
 CHAPTER XVI. 
 
 2 God gave strange meat to his people, to stir up their appetite, and 
 vile beasts to their enemies, to take it from them : 5 He stung them 
 with his serpents, 12 but soon healed them by his word only. 17 
 The creatures altered their nature to pleasure God's people, and to 
 offend their enemies. 
 
 1 THEREFORE by the like were they punished worthily, and 
 - by the multitude of beasts tormented. 
 
 2 Instead of which punishment, dealing graciously with thine 
 own people, thou preparedst for them meat of a strange taste, 
 even quails to stir up their appetite : 
 
 3 To the end that they, desiring food, might, for the ugly sight 
 of the beasts sent among them, loathe even that which they must 
 needs desire; but these, suffering penury for a short space, might 
 be made partakers of a strange taste. 
 
 4 For it was requisite, that upon them exercising tyranny 
 should come penury, which they could not avoid : but to these 
 it should only be showed how their enemies were tormented. 
 
 5 For when the horrible fierceness of beasts came upon these, 
 and they perished with the stings of crooked serpents, thy wrath 
 endured not for ever : 
 
 6 But they were troubled for a small season, that they might 
 be admonished, having a sign of salvation, to put them in remem- 
 brance of the commandment of thy law. 
 
 7 For he that turned himself towards it was not saved by the 
 thing that he saw, but by thee, that art the Saviour of all. 
 
 8 And in this thou madest thine enemies confess, that it is 
 thou who deliverest from all evil : 
 
 9 For them the hitings of grasshoppers and flies killed, neither 
 as there found any remedy for their life : for they were worthy 
 
 <x) be punished by such. 
 
 10 But thy sons not the very teeth of venomous dragons over- 
 came : for thy mercy was ever by them, and healed them. 
 
 11 For they were pricked, that they should remember thy 
 words : and were quickly saved, that not falling into deep for- 
 getfulness, they might be continually mindful of thy goodness. 
 
 12 For it was neither herb, nor mollifying plaster that restored 
 them to health : but thy word, Lord, which healeth all things. 
 
 13 For thou hast power of life and death : thou leadest to the 
 gates of hell, and bringest up again. 
 
 14 A man indeed killeth through his malice : and the spirit, 
 when it is gone forth, returneth not; neither the soul received 
 up cometh again. 
 
 15 But it is not possible to escape thine hand. 
 
 16 For the ungodly that denied to know thee, were scourged 
 
 50 
 
 by the strength of thine arm : with strange rains, hails, and 
 showers, were they persecuted, that they could not avoid; and 
 through fire were they consumed. 
 
 17 For, which is most to be wondered at, the fire had more 
 force in the water, that quencheth all things : for the world fight- 
 eth for the righteous. 
 
 18 For some time the flame was mitigated, that it might not 
 burn up the beasts that were sent against the ungodly ; but them- 
 selves might see and perceive that they were persecuted with the 
 judgment of God. 
 
 19 And at another time it burneth even in the midst of water 
 above the power of fire, that it might destroy the fruits of an un- 
 just land. 
 
 20 Instead whereof thou feddest thine own people with angels' 
 food, and didst send them from heaven bread prepared without 
 their labour, able to content every man's delight, and agreeing 
 to every taste. 
 
 21 For thy sustenance declared thy sweetness unto thy chil- 
 dren, and serving to the appetite of the eater, tempered itself to 
 every man's liking. 
 
 22 But snow and ice endured the fire, and melted not, that 
 they might know that fire burning in the hail, and sparkling in 
 the rain, did destroy the fruits of the enemies. 
 
 23 But this again did even forget his own strength that the 
 righteous might be nourished. 
 
 24 For the creature that serveth thee, who art the Maker, in- 
 creased his strength against the unrighteous for their punishment, 
 and abateth his strength for the benefit of such as put their trust 
 in thee. 
 
 25 Therefore even then was it altered into all fashions, and 
 was obedient to thy grace, that nourisheth all thmgs, according 
 to the desire of them that had need : 
 
 26 That thy children, Lord, whom thou lovest, might know, 
 that it is not the growing of fruits that nourisheth man : but that 
 it is thy word, which preserveth them that put their trust in theo 
 
 27 For that which was not destroyed of the fire, being warmed 
 with a little sun-beam, soon melted away : 
 
 28 That it might be known, that we must prevent the sun to 
 give thee thanks, and at the day-spring pray unto thee. 
 
 29 For the hope of the unthankful shall melt away as the 
 winter's hoar frost, and shall run away as unprofitable water. 
 
 CHAPTER XVII. 
 
 1 Why the Egyptians were punished with darkness. 4 The terrors of 
 that darkness. 11 The terrors of an ill conscience. 
 
 FOR great are thy judgments, and cannot be expressed : there- 
 fore unnurtured souls have erred 
 
 2 For when unrighteous men thought to oppress thy holy 
 nation ; they being shut up in their houses, the prisoners of 
 darkness, and fettered with the bonds of a long night, lay [there] 
 exiled from the eternal providence. 
 
 3 For while they supposed to lie hid in their secret sins, thev 
 were scattered under a dark vail of forgetfulness, being horribly 
 astonished, and troubled with [strange] apparitions. 
 
 4 For neither might the corner that held them keep then 
 from fear : but noises [as of waters] falling down sounded about 
 them, and sad visions appeared unto them with heavy counte- 
 nances. 
 
 5 No power of the fire might give them light : neither could 
 the bright flames of the stars endure to lighten that horrible 
 night. 
 
 6 Only there appeared unto them a fire kindled of itself, very 
 dreadful : for being much terrified, they thought the things which 
 they saw to be worse than the sight they saw not. 
 
 7 As for the illusions of art magic, they were put down, and 
 their vaunting in wisdom was reproved with disgrace. 
 
 8 For they that promised to drive away terrors and troubles 
 from a sick soul, were sick themselves of fear, worthy to be 
 laughed at. 
 
 9 For though no terrible thing did fear them ; yet being scared 
 with beasts that passed by, and hissing of serpents, 
 
ipoorypna. 
 
 CHAP. XVIII, XIX. 
 
 Apocryphai. 
 
 10 They died for fear, denying that they saw the air, which 
 could of no side be avoided. 
 
 11 For wickedness condemned by her own witness, is very 
 timorous, and being pressed with conscience, always forccasteth 
 grievous things. 
 
 12 For fear is nothing else but a betraying of the succours 
 which reason offereth. 
 
 13 And the expectation from within, being less, countcth the 
 ignorance more than the cause which bringeth the torment. 
 
 14 But they sleeping the same sleep that night, which was 
 indeed intolerable, and which came upon them out of the bottoms 
 of inevitable hell, 
 
 15 Were partly vexed with monstrous apparitions, and partly 
 fainted, their heart failing them : for a sudden fear, and not 
 looked for, came upon them. 
 
 36 So then whosoever there fell down was straitly kept, shut 
 up in a prison without iron bars. 
 
 17 For whether he were husbandman, or shepherd, or a 
 labourer in the field, he was overtaken, and endured that neces- 
 sity, which could not be avoided : for they were all bound with 
 (me chain of darkness. 
 
 18 Whether it were a whistling wind, or a melodious noise of 
 birds among the spreading branches, or a pleasing fall of water 
 running violently, 
 
 19 Or a terrible sound of stones cast down, or a running that 
 could not be seen of skipping beasts, or a roaring voice of most 
 eavagc wild beasts, or a rebounding echo from the hollow moun- 
 tains ; these things made them to swoon for fear. 
 
 20 For the whole world shined with clear light, and none 
 were hindered in their labour : 
 
 21 Over them only was spread an heavy night, an image of 
 that darkness which should afterward receive them : but yet were 
 they unto themselves more grievous than the darkness. 
 
 . CHAPTER XVIII. 
 
 4 Why Egypt was punished with darkness, 6 and with the death of 
 their children. 18 They themselves saw the cause thereof. 20 God 
 also plagued his own people. 21 By what means that plague was 
 stayed. 
 
 NEVERTHELESS thy saints had a very great light, whose 
 voice they hearing, and not seeing their shape because they 
 also had not suffered the same things, they counted them 
 happy. 
 
 2 But for that they did not hurt them note, of whom they had 
 been wronged before, they thanked them, and besought them 
 pardon for that they had been enemies. 
 
 3 Instead whereof thou gavest them a burning pillar of fire, 
 both to be a guide of the unknown journey, and an harmless sun 
 to entertain them honourably. 
 
 4 For they were worthy to be deprived of light, and imprisoned 
 iu darkness, who had kept thy sons shut up, by whom the uucor- 
 rupt light of the law was to be given unto the world. 
 
 5 And when they had determined to slay the babes of the 
 paints, one child being cast forth, and saved, to reprove them, 
 thou tookest away the multitude of their children, and destroy- 
 <5dst them altogether in a mighty water. 
 
 6 Of that night were our fathers certified afore, that assuredly 
 knowing unto what oaths they had given credence, they might 
 afterward be of good cheer. 
 
 7 So of thy people was accepted both the salvation of the 
 righteous, and destruction of the enemies. 
 
 8 For wherewith thou didst punish our adversaries, by the 
 same thou didst glorify us, whom thou hadst called. 
 
 9 For the righteous children of good men did sacrifice secretly, 
 and with one consent made a holy law, that the saints should be 
 alike partakers of the same good and evil, the fathers now sing- 
 ing ou*i the songs of praise. 
 
 10 But on the other side there sounded an ill-according cry 
 of the enemies, and a lamentable noise was carried abroad for 
 children that were bewailed 
 
 I) 
 
 11 The master and the servant were punished after one man- 
 ner; and like as the king, bo suffered the common person. 
 
 12 So they all together had innumerable dead with one kind 
 of death : neither were the living sufficient to bury them : for iu 
 one moment the noblest offspring of them was destroyed. 
 
 13 For whereas they would not believe any thing by reason 
 of the enchantments; upon the destruction of the first-born, they 
 acknowledged this people to be the sons of God. 
 
 14 For while all things were in quiet silence, and that night 
 was in the midst of her swift course, 
 
 15 Thine Almighty word leaped down from heaven out of thy 
 royal throne, as a fierce man of war into the midst of a land of 
 destruction, 
 
 16 And brought thine unfeigned commandment as a sharp 
 sword, and standing up filled all things with death; and it 
 touched the heaven, but it stood upon the earth. 
 
 17 Then suddenly visions of horrible dreams troubled them 
 sore, and terrors came upon them unlocked for. 
 
 18 And one thrown here, and another there, half dead, showed 
 the cause of his death. 
 
 19 For the dreams that troubled them did foreshow this, lest 
 they should perish, and not know why they were afflicted. 
 
 20 Yea, the tasting of death touched the righteous also, and 
 there was a destruction of the multitude in the wilderness : but. 
 the wrath endured not long. 
 
 21 For then the blameless man made haste, and stood forth 
 to defend them; and bringing the shield of his proper ministry, 
 even prayer, and the propitiation of incense, set himself against 
 the wrath, and so brought the calamity to an end, declaring that, 
 he was thy servant. 
 
 22 So he overcame the destroyer, not with strength of body, 
 nor force of arms, but with a word subdued he him that punished, 
 alleging the oaths and covenants made with the fathers. 
 
 23 For when the dead were now fallen down by heaps one 
 upon another, standing between, he stayed the wrath, and parted 
 the way to the living. 
 
 24 For in the long garment was the whole world, and in the 
 four rows of the stones was the glory of the fathers graven, and 
 thy Majesty upon the diadem of his head. 
 
 25 Unto these the destroyer gave place, and was afraid of 
 them : for it was enough that they only tasted of the wrath. 
 
 CHAPTER XIX. 
 
 1 Why God showed no mercy to the Egyptians, 5 and how wonderfully 
 he dealt with his people. 14 The Egyptians were worse than the 
 Sodomites. 18 The wonderful agreement of the creatures to serve 
 God's people. 
 
 AS for the ungodly, wrath came upon them without, mercy unto 
 the end : for he knew before what they would do ; 
 
 2 How that having given them leave to depart, and sent them 
 hastily away, they would repent, and pursue them. 
 
 3 For whilst they were yet mourning and making lamentation 
 at the graves of the dead, they added another foolish device, and 
 pursued them as fugitives, whom they had entreated to be gone. 
 
 4 For the destiny, whereof they were worthy, drew them unt > 
 this end, and made them forget the things that had already hap- 
 pened, that they might fulfil the punishment which was wanting 
 to their torments : 
 
 5 And that thy people might pass a wonderful way : bjt they 
 might find a strange death. 
 
 6 For the whole creature in his proper kind was fashioned 
 again anew, serving the peculiar commandments that were given 
 unto them, that thy children might be kept without hurt : 
 
 7 Jis namely, a cloud shadowing the camp ; and where water 
 stood before, dry laud appeared ; and out of the Red Sea a way 
 without impediment ; and out of the violent stream a green field : 
 
 8 Wherethrough all the people went that were defended with 
 thy hand, seeing thy marvellous strange wonders. 
 
 9 For they went at large like horses, and leaped like lambs, 
 praising thee, O Lord, who hadst delivered them.

 10 For they were yet mindful of the things that were done 
 while they sojourned iu the strange land, how the ground brought 
 forth flies instead of eattle, and how the river cast up a multitude 
 of frogs instead of fishes. 
 
 11 But afterward they saw a new generation of fowls, when, 
 being led with their appetite, they asked delicate meats. 
 
 12 For quails came up unto them from the sea, for their con- 
 tentment. 
 
 13 And punishments came upon the sinners, not without 
 ormcr signs by the force of thuuders : for they suffered justly 
 
 according to their own wickedness, insomuch as they used a more 
 hard and hateful behaviour towards strangers. 
 
 14 For the Sodomites did not receive those, whom they knew 
 not when they came : but these brought friends into bondage, 
 that had well deserved of them. 
 
 15 And not only so. but peradventure some respect shall be 
 had of those, because they used strangers not friendly : 
 
 16 But these very grievously afflicted them, whom they had 
 received with feastings, and were already made partakers of the 
 same laws with them. 
 
 17 Therefore even with blindness were these stricken, as those 
 were at the doors of the righteous man : when, being compassed 
 about with horrible great darkness, every one sought the passage 
 of his own doors. 
 
 18 For the elements were changed in themselves by a kind of 
 harmony, like as, in a psaltery, notes change the name of the 
 tune, and yet are always sounds ; which may well be perceived 
 by the sight of the things that have been done. 
 
 19 For earthy things were turned into watery, and the things 
 that before swam iu the water, now went upon the ground. 
 
 20 The fire had power in the water, forgetting his own virtue: 
 and the water forgat his own quenching nature. 
 
 21 On the other side, the flames wasted not the flesh of the 
 corruptible living things, though they walked therein ; neither 
 melted they the icy kind of heavenly meat, that was of nature 
 apt to melt. 
 
 22 For in all things, Lord, thou didst magnify thy pecplc, 
 and glorify them, neither didst thou lightly regard them: bui 
 didst assist them in every time and place. 
 
 HTHE WISDOM OF JESUS THE SON OF SIRACH 
 
 OR, 
 
 ECCLESIASTICUS. 
 
 A PROLOGUE MADE BY AN UNCERTAIN AUTHOR. 
 
 THIS Jesus was the son of Sirach, and grandchild to Jesus of the same name with him : this man therefore lived in the latter fames, 
 after the people had been led away captive, and called home again, and almost after all the prophets. Now his grandfather Jesus, 
 as himself witnesseth, was a man of great diligence and wisdom among the Hebrews, who did not onlj- gather the grave and short 
 sentences of wise men, that had been before him, but himself also uttered some of his own, full of much understanding and wisdom. 
 When as therefore the first Jesus died, leaving this book almost perfected, Sirach his son receiving it after him, left it to his owu 
 son Jesus, who having gotten it into his hands, compiled it all orderly into one volume, and called it Wisdom, entitling it both by his 
 own name, his father's name, and his grandfather's ; alluring the hearer by the very name of Wisdom to have a greater love to the 
 study of this book. It containeth therefore wise sayings, dark sentences, and parables, and certain particular ancient godly stories of 
 men that pleased God ; also his prayer and song ; moreover, what benefits God had vouchsafed his people, and what plagues he had 
 heaped upon their enemies. This Jesus did imitate Solomon, and was no less famous for wisdom and learning, both being indeed a 
 man of great learning, and so reputed also. 
 
 THE PROLOGUE OF THE WISDOM OF JESUS, THE SON OF SIRACH. 
 
 WHEREAS many and great things have been delivered unto us by the law and the prophets, and by others that have 
 followed their steps, for the which things Israel ought to be commended for learning and wisdom ; and whereof not only the 
 readers must needs become skilful themselves, but also they that desire to learn be able to profit them which are without, both by 
 speaking and writing : my grandfather Jesus, when he had much given himself to the reading of the law, and the prophets, and other 
 books of our fathers, and had gotten therein good judgment, was drawn on also himself to write something pertaining to learning and 
 •isdom; to the intent that those which are desirous to learn, and are addicted to these things, might profit much more in living 
 ccording to the law. Wherefore let me entreat you to read it with favour and attention, and to pardon us, wherein we may seem to 
 come short of some words which we have laboured to interpret. For the same things uttered in Hebrew, and translated into another 
 tongue, have not the same force in them : and not only these things, but the law itself, and the prophets, and the rest of the books, 
 have no small difference, when they are spoken in their own language. For in the eight and thirtieth year coming into Egypt, when 
 Euergetes was king, and continuing there some time, I found a book of no small learning : therefore I thought it most necessary foi 
 me to bestow some diligence and travail to interpret it ; using great watchfulness and skill in that space to bring the book to an end, 
 and set it forth for them also, which in a strange country are willing to learn, being prepared before in manners to live after the law. 
 
 CHAPTER I. 
 
 1 All wisdom is from God. 10 He giveth it to them that love him. 
 11 The fear of God is full of many blessings. 28 To fear God with- 
 out hypocrisy. 
 
 ALL wisdom cometh from the Lord, and is with him for ever. 
 2 Who can number the sand of the sea, and the drops of 
 rain, and the days of eternity? 
 
 52 
 
 3 Who can find out the height of heaven, and the breadth of 
 the earth, and the deep, and wisdom ? 
 
 4 Wisdom hath been created before all things, and the under- 
 standing of prudence from everlasting. 
 
 5 The word of God Most High is the fountain of wisdom j 
 and her ways are everlasting commandments. 
 
 6 To whom hath the root of wisdom been revealed f or who 
 hath known her wise counsels? 
 
Apocrypha. 
 
 CHAP. II, III. 
 
 Apocrypi 
 
 7 [Unto whom hath the knowledge of wisdom been made 
 manifest ? and who hath understood her great experience ?] 
 
 8 There is one wise and greatly to be feared, the Lord sitting 
 Upon his throne. 
 
 9 He created her, and saw her, and numbered her, and poured 
 oer out upon all his works. 
 
 10 She is with all flesh according to his gift, and he hath 
 given her to them that love him. 
 
 11 The fear of the Lord is honour, and glory, and gladness, 
 aul a crown of rejoicing. 
 
 12 The fear of the Lord maketh a merry heart, and giveth 
 joy, and gladuess, and a long life. 
 
 13 Whoso fearcth the Lord, it shall go well with him at the 
 last, and he shall find favour in the day of his death. 
 
 14 To fear the Lord is the beginning of wisdom : and it was 
 created with the faithful in the womb. 
 
 15 She hath built an everlasting foundation with men, and 
 she shall continue with their seed. 
 
 16 To fear the Lord is fulness of wisdom, and filleth men with 
 her fruits. 
 
 17 She filleth all their house with things desirable, and the 
 garners with her increase. 
 
 IS The fear of the Lord is a crown of wisdom, making peace 
 and perfect health to flourish ; both which are the gifts of God : 
 and it enlargeth their rejoicing that love him. 
 
 19 Wisdom raineth down skill and knowledge of understand- 
 ing, and exaltetb them to honour that hold her fast. 
 
 20 The root of wisdom is to fear the Lord, and the branches 
 thereof are long life. 
 
 21 The fear of the Lord driveth away sins: and where it is 
 present, it turneth away wrath. 
 
 22 A furious man cannot be justified; for the sway of his 
 fury shall be his destruction. 
 
 23 A patient man will bear for a time, and afterward joy shall 
 spring up unto him. 
 
 24 He will hide his words for a time, and the lips of many 
 shall declare his wisdom. 
 
 25 The parables of knowledge are in the treasures of wisdom : 
 but godliness is an abomination to a sinner. 
 
 26 If thou desire wisdom, keep the oommandments, and the 
 Lord shall give her unto thee. 
 
 27 For the fear of the Lord is wisdom and instruction : and 
 faith and meekness are his delight. 
 
 28 Distrust not the fear of the Lord when thou art poor: and 
 come not unto him with a double heart. 
 
 29 Be not an hypocrite in the sight of men, and take good 
 heed what thou speakest. 
 
 30 Exalt not thyself, lest thou fall, and bring dishonour upon 
 thy soul, and so God discover thy secrets, and cast thee down in 
 the midst of the congregation, because thou earnest not in truth 
 to the fear of the Lord, but thy heart is full of deceit. 
 
 CHAPTER II. 
 
 \ God's servants must look for trouble, 7 and be patient, and trust in 
 him. 12 For woe to them that do not so. 15 But they that fear 
 the Lord, will do so. 
 
 MY son, if thou come to serve the Lord, prepare thy soul for 
 temptation. 
 
 2 Set thy heart aright, and constantly endure, and make not 
 haste in time of trouble. 
 
 3 Cleave unto him, and depart not away, that thou mayest be 
 increased at thy last end. 
 
 4 Whatsoever is brought upon thee, take cheerfully, and be 
 patient when thou art changed to a low estate. 
 
 5 For gold is tried in the fire, and acceptable men in the 
 furnace of adversity. 
 
 6 Believe in him, and he will help thee; order thy way aright, 
 and trust in him. 
 
 7 Ye that fear the Lord, wait for his mercy; and go not aside, 
 lest ye fall 
 
 8 Ye that fear the Lord, believe him ; and your reward shall 
 
 not fail. 
 
 9 Ye that fear the Lord, hope for good, and for everlasting 
 joy and mercy. 
 
 10 Look at the generations of old, and see ; did ever any trust 
 in the Lord, and was confounded? or did any abide in his fear, 
 and was forsaken ? or whom did he ever despise, that called upon 
 him ? 
 
 11 For the Lord is full of compassion and mercy, long-suffer- 
 ing, and very pitiful, and forgiveth sins, and saveth in time of 
 affliction. 
 
 12 Woe be to fearful hearts, and faint hands, and the sinner 
 that goeth two ways ! 
 
 13 Woe unto him that is faint-hearted ! for he believeth not ; 
 therefore shall he not be defended. 
 
 14 Woe unto you that have lost patience .' ind what will y* 
 do when the Lord shall visit you? 
 
 15 They that fear the Lord will not disobey his word; and 
 they that love him will keep his ways. 
 
 16 They that fear the Lord will seek that which is well-pleas- 
 ing unto him; and they that love him shall be filled with the 
 law. 
 
 17 They that fear the Lord will prepare their hearts, and 
 humble their souls in his sight, 
 
 18 Saying, We will fall into the hands of the Lord, and not 
 into the hands of men : for as his majesty is, so is his mercy. 
 
 CHAPTER III. 
 
 2 Children must honour and help both their parents. 21 We may not 
 desire to know all things. 26 The incorrigible must needs perish. 
 30 Alms are rewarded. 
 
 HEAR me your father, O children, and do thereafter, that ye 
 may be safe. 
 
 2 For the Lord hath given the father honour over the children, 
 and hath confirmed the authority of the mother over the sons. 
 
 3 Whoso honoureth his father maketh an atonement for his sins : 
 
 4 And he that honoureth his mother is as one that layeth up 
 treasure. 
 
 5 Whoso honoureth his father shall have joy of his own chil- 
 dren; and when he maketh his prayer, he shall be heard. 
 
 6 He that honoureth his father shall have a long life; and he 
 that is obedient unto the Lord shall be a comfort to his mother. 
 
 7 He that feareth the Lord will honour his father, and will do 
 service unto his parents, as to his masters. 
 
 8 Honour thy father and mother both in word and deed, that 
 a blessing may come upon thee from them. 
 
 9 For the blessing of the father establisheth the houses of 
 children ; but the curse of the mother rooteth out foundations 
 
 10 Glory not in the dishonour of thy father; for thy father's 
 dishonour is no glory unto thee. 
 
 11 For the glory of a man is from the honour of his father ; 
 and a mother in dishonour is a reproach to the children. 
 
 12 My son, help thy father in his age, and grieve him not as 
 long as he liveth. 
 
 13 And if his understanding fail, have patience with him : 
 and despise him not when thou art in thy full strength. 
 
 14 For the relieving of thy father shall not be forgotten : ant' 
 instead of sins it shall be added to build thee up. 
 
 15 In the day of thine affliction it shall be remembered; thj 
 sins also shall melt away, as the ice in the fair warm weather. 
 
 16 He that forsaketh his father is as a blasphemer; and he 
 that angereth his mother is cursed of God. 
 
 17 My son, go on with thy business in meekness; so shalt 
 thou be beloved of him that is approved. 
 
 18 The greater thou art, the more humble thyself, and thou 
 shalt find favour before the Lord. 
 
 19 Many are in high place, and of renown : but mysteries are 
 revealed unto the meek. 
 
 20 For the power of the Lord is great, and he is honoured of 
 the lowly.

 ECCLESIASTICUS. 
 
 Apocrypha. 
 
 21 Seek not out the things that are too hard for thee, neither 
 search the things that arc above thy strength. 
 
 22 But what is commanded thee, think thereupon with nvrr- 
 er.ee ; for it is not needful for thee to see with thine eyes the 
 things that are in secret. 
 
 23 Bo not curious in unnecessary matters : For more things 
 arc showed unto thee than men understand. 
 
 24 For many are deceived by their own vain opinion ; and an 
 evil suspicion hath overthrown their judgment. 
 
 25 Without eyes thou shalt want light : profess not the knowl- 
 edge therefore that thou hast not. 
 
 26 A stubborn heart shall fare evil at the last : and he that 
 loveth danger shall perish therein. 
 
 27 An obstinate heart shall be laden with sorrows : and the 
 wicked man shall heap sin upon sin. 
 
 28 In the punishment of the proud there is no remedy ; for 
 the plant of wickedness hath taken root in him. 
 
 29 The heart of the prudent will understand a parable ; and 
 an attentive ear is the desire of a wise man. 
 
 30 Water will quench a flaming fire; and alms maketh an 
 atonement for sins. 
 
 31 And he that requiteth good turns is mindful of that which 
 may come hereafter; and when he falleth, he shall find a stay. 
 
 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 1 We may not despise the poor or fatherless, 11 but seek for wisdom, 
 20 and not be ashamed of some things, nor gainsay the truth, 80 
 nor be as lions in our houses. 
 
 MY son, defraud not the poor of his living, and make not the 
 needy eyes to wait long. 
 
 2 Make not a hungry soul sorrowful ; neither provoke a man 
 in his distress. 
 
 3 Add not more trouble to a heart that is vexed; and defer 
 not to give to him that is in need. 
 
 4 Reject not the supplication of the afflicted; neither turn 
 away thy face from a poor man. 
 
 5 Turn not away thine eye from the needy, and give him none 
 occasion to curse thee : 
 
 6 For if he curse thee in the bitterness of his soul, his prayer 
 shall be heard of him that made him. 
 
 7 Get thyself the love of the congregation, and bow thy head 
 to a great man. 
 
 8 Let it not grieve thee to bow down thine ear to the poor, 
 and give him a friendly answer with meekness. 
 
 9 Deliver him that suffereth wrong from the hand of the op- 
 presso* - ; and be not faint-hearted when thou sittest in judgment. 
 
 10 Be as a father unto the fatherless, and instead of a husband 
 unto their mother : so shalt thou be as a son of the Most High, 
 and he shall love thee more than thy mother doth. 
 
 11 Wisdom exalteth her children, and layeth hold of them 
 that seek her. 
 
 12 He that loveth her loveth life ; and they that seek to her 
 early shall be filled with joy. 
 
 1?» He that holdeth her fast shall inherit glory; and where- 
 oever she entereth, the Lord will bless. 
 
 14 They that serve her shall minister to the Holy One : and 
 them that love her the Lord doth love. 
 
 15 Whoso giveth ear unto her, shall judge the nations : and 
 he that attendeth unto her shall dwell securely. 
 
 16 If a man commit himself unto her he shall inherit her; 
 and his generation shall hold her in possession. 
 
 17 For at the first she will walk with him by crooked ways, 
 and bring fear and dread upon him, and torment him with her 
 
 iscipline, until she may trust his soul, and try him by her laws. 
 
 18 Then will she return the straight way unto him, and com- 
 ort him, and show him her secrets. 
 
 19 But if he go wrong, she will forsake him, and give him 
 over to his own ruin. 
 
 20 Observe the opportunity, and beware of evil; and be not 
 ashamed when it concerneth thy soul. 
 
 54 
 
 21 For there is a shame that bringeth sin; and there i« a 
 shame which is glory and grace. 
 
 22 Accept no person against thy soul, and let not the rever- 
 ence of any man cause thee to fall. 
 
 23 And refrain not to speak, when there is occasion to do good, 
 and hide not thy wisdom in her beauty. 
 
 24 For by speech wisdom shall be known : and learning by 
 the word of the tongue. 
 
 25 In no wise speak against the truth; but be abashed of the 
 error of thine ignoi ance. 
 
 26 Be not ashamed to confess thy sins; and force not th<J 
 course of the river. 
 
 27 Make not thyself an underling to a foolish man ; neither 
 accept the person of the mighty. 
 
 28 Strive for the truth unto death, and the Lord shall fight 
 for thee. 
 
 29 Be not hasty in thy tongue, and in thy deeds slack and 
 remiss. 
 
 30 Be not as a lion in thy house, nor frantic among thy ser- 
 vants. 
 
 31 Let not thine hand be stretched out to receive, and shut 
 when thou shouldest repay. 
 
 CHAPTER V. 
 
 1 We must not presume of our wealth and strength, 6 nor of the mercy 
 of God, to sin. 9 We must not be double-tongued, 12 nor answer 
 without knowledge. 
 
 SET not thy heart upon thy goods ; and say not, I have enough 
 for my life. 
 
 2 Follow not thine own mind and thy strength, to walk in the 
 ways of thine heart : 
 
 3 And say not, Who shall control me for my works ? for the 
 Lord will surely revenge thy pride. 
 
 4 Say not, I have sinned, and what harm hath happened unto 
 me ? for the Lord is long-suffering, he will in no wise let thee go. 
 
 5 Concerning propitiation, be not without fear to add sin unto 
 sin : 
 
 6 And say not, His mercy is great; he will be pacified for the 
 multitude of my sins : for mercy and wrath come from him, and 
 his indignation resteth upon sinners. 
 
 7 Make no tarrying to turn to the Lord, and put not off from 
 day to day : for suddenly shall the wrath of the Lord come forth, 
 and in thy security thou shalt be destroyed, and perish in tho 
 day of vengeance. 
 
 8 Set not thine heart upon goods unjustly gotten : for they 
 shall not profit thee in the day of calamity. 
 
 9 Winnow not with every wind, and go not into every way : 
 for so doth the sinner that hath a double tongue. 
 
 10 Be steadfast in thy understanding ; and let thy word be 
 the same. 
 
 11 Be swift to hear; and let thy life be sincere; and with 
 patience give answer. 
 
 12 If thou hast understanding, answer thy neighbour; if not, 
 lay thy hand upon thy mouth. 
 
 13 Honour and shame is in talk : and the tongue of man ia 
 his fall. 
 
 14 Be not called a whisperer, and lie not in wait with thy 
 tongue ; for a foul shame is upon the thief, and an evil condem- 
 nation upon the double tongue. 
 
 15 Be not ignorant of any thing in a great matter or a small 
 
 CHAPTER VI. 
 
 2 Do not extol thine own conceit, 7 but make choice of a friend. 18 
 Seek wisdom betimes : 20 It is grievous to some, 28 yet the fruits 
 thereof are pleasant. 35 Be ready to hear wise men. 
 
 INSTEAD of a friend become not an enemy; [for thereby] 
 thou shalt inherit an ill name, shame, and reproach : even so 
 shall a sinner that hath a double tongue. 
 
 2 Extol not thyself in the counsel of thine own heart; that 
 thy soul be not torn in pieces as a bull [straying alone.]

 3 Thau sli.ilt cat up thy leaves, and lose thy fruit, and leave 
 thyself as a dry tree 
 
 ■4 A wicked soul shall destroy hiin that hath it, and shall make 
 biui to he laughed to scorn of his enemies. 
 
 5 Sweet language will multiply friends; and a fair-speaking 
 tongue will increase kind greetings. 
 
 6 lie in peace with many : nevertheless have hut one counsel- 
 lor of a thousand. 
 
 7 If thou wouldest get a friend, prove him first, and be not 
 hasty to credit him. 
 
 8 For some man is a friend for his own occasion, and will not 
 abide in the day of thy trouble. 
 
 9 And there is a friend, who, being turned to enmity and 
 strife, will discover thy reproach. 
 
 10 Again, some friend is a companion at the table, and will 
 not continue in the day of thy affliction. 
 
 11 But in thy prosperity he will be as thyself, and will be bold 
 over thy servants. 
 
 12 If thou be brought low, he will be against thee, and will 
 hide himself from thy face. 
 
 13 Separate thyself from thine enemies, and take heed of thy 
 friends. 
 
 14 A faithful friend is a strong defence : and he that hath 
 found such an one hath found a treasure. 
 
 15 Nothing doth countervail a faithful friend, and his excel- 
 lency is invaluable. 
 
 1(3 A faithful friend is the medicine of life ; and they that 
 f ear the Lord shall find him. 
 
 17 Whoso feareth the Lord shall direct his friendship aright: 
 for as he is, so shall his neighbour be also. 
 
 18 My son, gather instruction from thy youth up : so shalt 
 thou find wisdom till thine old age. 
 
 19 Come unto her as one that ploughcth and soweth, and wait 
 for her good fruits: for thou shalt not toil much in labouring 
 about her, but thou shalt eat of her fruits right soon. 
 
 20 She is very unpleasant to the unlearned : he that is with- 
 out understanding will not remain with her. 
 
 21 She will lie upon him as a mighty stone of trial; and he 
 will cast her from him ere it be long. 
 
 22 For wisdom is according to her name, and she is not man- 
 ifest unto many. 
 
 23 Give ear, my son, receive my advice, and refuse not my 
 counsel. 
 
 24 And put thy feet into her fetters, and thy neck into her 
 chain. 
 
 25 Bow down thy shoulder, and bear her, and be not grieved 
 with her bonds. 
 
 26 Come unto her with thy whole heart, and keep her ways 
 with all thy power. 
 
 27 Search, and seek, and she shall be made known unto thee : 
 and when thou hast got hold of her, let her not go. 
 
 28 For at the last thou shalt find her rest, and that shall be 
 turned to thy joy. 
 
 29 Then shall her fetters be a strong defence for thee, and 
 her chains a robe of glory. 
 
 30 For there is a golden ornament upon her, and her bands 
 are purple lace. 
 
 31 Thou shalt put her on as a robe of honour, and shall put 
 her about thee as a crown of joy. 
 
 32 My son, if thou wilt, thou shalt be taught: and if thou 
 wilt apply thy mind, thou shalt be prudent. 
 
 33 If thou love to hear, thou shalt receive understanding : and 
 if thou bow thine ear, thou shalt be wise. 
 
 34 Stand in the multitude of the elders ; and cleave unto him 
 that is wise. 
 
 35 Be willing to hear every godly discourse; and let not the 
 parables of understanding escape thee. 
 
 36 And if thou scest a man of understanding, get thee betimes 
 onto him, and let thy foot wear the steps of his door. 
 
 37 Let thy mind be upon the ordinances of the Lord, and 
 
 meditate continually in His commandments: he shall r.F.tabliflh 
 thine heart, and give thec wisdom at thine own desire. 
 
 CHAPTER VII. 
 
 1 We arc dehortcd from sin, 4 from ambition, 8 presumption, 10 nnd 
 fainting in prayer: 12 from lying and backbiting. 18 How to es- 
 teem a friend : 19 a good wife : 20 a servant : 22 our cattle : 23 our 
 children and parents: 31 the Lord and his priests: 32 the poor au<J 
 those that mourn. 
 
 DO no evil, so shall no harm come unto thee. 
 2 Depart from the unjust, and iniquity shall turn away 
 from thee. 
 
 3 My son, sow not upon the furrows of unrighteousness, and 
 thou shalt not reap them seven-fold. 
 
 4 Seek not of the Lord pro-eminence, neither of the king lha 
 scat of honour. 
 
 5 Justify not thyself before the Lord : and boast not of thy 
 wisdom before the king. 
 
 6 Seek not to be judge, being not able to take away iniquitj / 
 lest at any time thou fear the person of the mighty, and lay a 
 stumbling-block in the way of thy uprightness. 
 
 7 Offend not against the multitude of a city, and then thou 
 shalt not cast thyself down among the people. 
 
 8 Bind not one sin upon another; for in one thou shalt not 
 be unpunished. 
 
 9 Say not, God will look upon the multitude of my oblations, 
 and when I offer to the most high God, he will accept it. 
 
 10 Be not faint-hearted when thou makesc thy prayer, and 
 neglect not to give alms. 
 
 11 Laugh no man to scorn in the bitterness of his soul: for 
 there is one which humbleth and exalteth. 
 
 12 Devise not a lie against thy brother : neither do the like 
 to thy friend. 
 
 13 Use not to make any manner of lie : for the custom thereof 
 is not good. 
 
 14 Use not manv words in a multitude of elders, and make 
 not much babbling when thou pray^est. 
 
 15 Hate not laborious work, neither husbandry, which the 
 Most High hath ordained. 
 
 16 Number not thyself among the multitude of sinners, but 
 remember that wrath will not tarry long. 
 
 17 Humble thy soul greatly : for the vengeance of the ungodly 
 is fire and worms. 
 
 18 Change not a friend for any good, by no means; neither a 
 faithful brother for the gold of Ophir. 
 
 19 Forego not a wise and good woman : for her grace is above 
 gold. 
 
 20 Whereas thy servant worketh truly, entreat him not evil, 
 nor the hireling that bestoweth himself wholly for thee. 
 
 21 Let thy soul love a good servant, and defraud him not of 
 liberty. 
 
 22 Hast thou cattle ? have an eye to them : and if they be 
 for thy profit, keep them with thec. 
 
 23 Hast thou children ? instruct them, and bow down their 
 neck from their youth. 
 
 24 Hast thou daughters ? have a care of their body, and bhow 
 not thyself cheerful towards them. 
 
 25 Marry thy daughter, and so shalt thou have performed a 
 weighty matter : but give her to a man of understanding. 
 
 26 Hast thou a wife after thy mind ? forsake her not : but 
 give not thyself over to a light woman 
 
 27 Honour thy father with thy whole heart, and forget not the 
 sorrows of thy mother. 
 
 28 Remember that thou wast begotten of them, and how canst 
 thou recompense them the things that they have done for thee ? 
 
 29 Fear the Lord with all thy soul, and reverence his priests. 
 
 30 Love him that made thee with all thy strength, and for- 
 sake not his ministers. 
 
 31 Fear the Lord, and honour the priest; and give him his 
 portion, as it is commanded thee ; the first-fruits, and the tres

 ^notification, and the first-fruits of the holy things. 
 
 32 And stretch thine hand unto the poor, that thy blessing 
 may be perfected. 
 
 33 A gilt- hath grace in the sight of every man living, and for 
 the dead detain it not. 
 
 34 Fail not to be with them that weep, and mourn with them 
 that mourn. 
 
 35 Be not slow to visit the sick : for that shall make thee to 
 f>e beloved. 
 
 36 Whatsoever thou takest in hand, remember the end, and 
 thou shalt never do amiss. 
 
 CHAPTER VIII. 
 
 1 Whom we may not strive with, 8 nor despise, 10 nor provoke, 15 nor 
 have to do with. 
 
 QTRIVE not with a mighty man, lest thou fall into his hands. 
 O 2 Be not at variance with a rich man, lest he overweigh 
 ihee : for gold hath destroyed many, and perverted the hearts of 
 kings. 
 
 3 Strive not with a man that is full of tongue, and heap not 
 wood upon his fire. 
 
 5 Jest not with a rude man, lest thy ancestors be disgraced. 
 
 4 Reproach not a man that turneth from sin, but remember 
 that we are all worthy of punishment. 
 
 6 Dishonour not a man in his old age : for even some of us 
 wax old. 
 
 7 Rejoice not over thy greatest enemy being dead, but remem- 
 ber that we die all. 
 
 8 Despise not the discourse of the wise, but acquaint thyself 
 with their proverbs : for of them thou shalt learn instruction, and 
 how to serve great men with ease. 
 
 9 Miss not the discourse of the elders : for they also learned 
 of their fathers, and of them thou shalt learn understanding, and 
 to give answer as need requireth. 
 
 10 Kindle not the coals of a sinner, lest thou be burnt with 
 the flame of his fire. 
 
 11 Rise not up [in anger] at the presence of an injurious per- 
 son, lest he lie in wait to entrap thee in thy words. 
 
 12 Lend not unto him that is mightier than thyself: for if 
 thou lendest him, count it but lost. 
 
 13 Be not surety above thy power : for if thou be surety, take 
 care to pay it. 
 
 14 Go not to law with a judge, for they will judge for him 
 according to his honour. 
 
 15 Travel not by the way with a bold fellow, lest he become 
 grievous unto thee : for he will do according to his own will, and 
 thou shalt perish with him through his folly. 
 
 16 Strive not with an angry man, and go not with him into 
 a solitary place: for blood is as nothing in his sight; and where 
 there is no help, he will overthrow thee. 
 
 17 Consult not with a fool, for he cannot keep counsel. 
 
 18 Do no secret thing before a stranger : for thou kuowest not 
 what he will bring forth. 
 
 19 Open not thine heart to every man, lest he requite thee 
 with a shrewd turn. 
 
 CHAPTER IX. 
 
 ] We are advised how to use our wives : 3 What women to avoid : 10 
 And not to change an old friend : 13 Not to be familiar with men in 
 Authority : But to know our neighbours ; 15 and to converse with 
 wise men. 
 
 BE not jealous over the wife of thy bosom, and teach her not 
 an evil lesson against thyself. 
 
 2 Give not thy soul unto a woman to set her foot upon thy 
 substance. 
 
 3 Meet not with an harlot, lest thou fall into her snares. 
 
 4 Use not much the company of a woman that is a singer, lest 
 thou be taken with her attempts. 
 
 56 
 
 5 Gaze not on a maid, that thou fall not by those things that 
 are precious in her. 
 
 6 Give not thy soul unto harlots, that thou lose not thine in- 
 heritance. 
 
 7 Look not round about thee in the streets of the city, neither 
 wander thou in the solitary places thereof. 
 
 8 Turn away thine eye from a beautiful woman, and look net 
 upon another's beauty; for many have been deceived by the 
 beauty of a woman ; for herewith love is kindled as a fire. 
 
 9 Sit not at all with another man's wife, nor sit down with her 
 in thine arms, and spend not thy money with her at the wine ; lest 
 thine heart incline unto her, and so through thy desire thou fall 
 into destruction. 
 
 10 Forsake not an old friend ; for the new is not comparable 
 to him : a new friend is as new wine ; when it is old, thou shalt 
 drink it with pleasure. 
 
 1 1 Envy not the glory of a sinner : for thou knowest not what 
 shall be his end. 
 
 12 Delight not in the thing that the ungodly have pleasure 
 in : but remember they shall not go unpunished unto their grave. 
 
 13 Keep thee far from the man that hath power to kill; so 
 shalt thou not doubt the fear of death : and if thou come unto 
 him, make no fault, lest he take away thy life presently : re- 
 member that thou goest in the midst of snares, and that thou 
 walkest upon the battlements of the city. 
 
 14 As near as thou canst, guess at thy neighbour, and consult 
 with the wise. 
 
 15 Let thy talk be with the wise, and all thy communication 
 in the law of the Most High. 
 
 16 And let just men eat and drink with thee : and let thy 
 glorying be in the fear of the Lord. 
 
 17 For the hand of the artificer the work shall be commended : 
 and the wise ruler of the people for his speech. 
 
 18 A man of an ill tongue is dangerous in his city; and he 
 that is rash in his talk shall be hated. 
 
 . CHAPTER X. 
 
 1 The advantages of a wise ruler. 4 God setteth him up. 7 The in- 
 conveniences of pride, injustice, and covetousness. 14 What GM 
 hath done to the proud. 19 Who shall be honoured, 29 and who not. 
 
 A WISE judge will instruct his people; and the government 
 of a prudent man is well ordered. 
 
 2 As the judge of the people is himself, so are his officers; and 
 what manner of man the ruler of the city is, such are all they 
 that dwell therein. 
 
 3 An unwise king destroyeth his people; but through the 
 prudence of them which are in authority, the city shall be in 
 habited. 
 
 4 The power of the earth is in the hand of the Lord, and in 
 due time he will set over it one that is profitable. 
 
 5 In the hand of God is the prosperity of man : and upon the 
 person of the scribe shall he lay his honour. 
 
 6 Bear not hatred to thy neighbour for every wrong; and do 
 nothing at all by injurious practices 
 
 7 Pride is hateful before God and man . and by both doth ?na 
 commit iniquity. 
 
 8 Because of unrighteous dealings, injuries, and riches got by 
 deceit, the kingdom is translated from one people to another. 
 
 9 Why is earth and ashes proud? There is not a more wick- 
 ed thing than a covetous man : for such a one setteth his own 
 soul to sale; because while he liveth, he casteth away his bowels. 
 
 10 The physician cutteth off a long disease; and he that w 
 to-day a king, to-morrow shall die. 
 
 11 For when a man is dead, he shall inherit creeping things, 
 beasts, and worms. 
 
 12 The beginning of pride is when one departeth from God, 
 and his heart is turned away from his Maker. 
 
 13 For pride is the beginning of sin, and he that hath it shall 
 pour out abomination : and therefore the Lord brought upua 
 them strange calamities, and overthrew them utterly.

 14 The Lord hath cast down the thrones of proud princes, and 
 ?et up the meek in their stead. 
 
 15 The Lord hath plucked up the roots of the proud nations, 
 uid planted the lowly in their place. 
 
 16 The Lord overthrew countries of the heathen, and destroyed 
 them to the foundations of the earth. 
 
 17 He took some of thera away, and destroyed them, and hath 
 made their memorial to cease from the earth. 
 
 18 Pride was not made for men, nor furious anger for them 
 that are born of a woman. 
 
 19 They that fear the Lord arc a sure seed, and they that love 
 him an honourable plant : they that regard not the law are a dis- 
 honourable seed j they that transgress the commandments are a 
 ieceivable seed. 
 
 20 Among brethren he that is chief is honourable ; so are they 
 that fear the Lord, in his eyes. 
 
 21 The fear of the Lord goeth before the obtaining of au- 
 thority : but roughness and pride is the losing thereof. 
 
 22 Whether he be rich, noble, or poor, their glory is the fear 
 of the Lord. 
 
 23 It is not meet to despise the poor man that hath under- 
 standing ; neither is it convenient to magnify a sinful man. 
 
 24 Great men, and judges, and potentates, shall be honoured; 
 yet is there none of them greater than he that feareth the Lord. 
 
 25 Unto the servant that is wise shall they that are free do 
 service : and he that hath knowledge will not grudge when he is 
 reformed. 
 
 26 Be not overwise in doing thy business ; and boast not thy- 
 self in the time of thy distress. 
 
 27 Better is he that laboureth, and aboundeth in all things, 
 than he that boasteth himself, and wanteth bread. 
 
 28 My son, glorify thy soul in meekness, and give it honour 
 according to the dignity thereof. 
 
 29 Who will justify him that sinneth against his own soul ? 
 and who will honour him that dishonoureth his own life? 
 
 30 The poor man is honoured for his skill, and the rich man 
 is honoured for his riches. 
 
 31 He that is honoured in poverty, how much more in riches? 
 and he that is dishonourable in riches, how much more in poverty ? 
 
 CHAPTER XL 
 
 4 We may not vaunt nor set forth ourselves, 8 nor answer rashly, 10 
 nor meddle with many matters. 14 Wealth and all things else are 
 from God. 24 Brag not of thy wealth. 29 nor bring every man into 
 thy house. 
 
 WISDOM lifteth up the head of him that is of low degree, 
 and maketh him to sit among great men. 
 
 2 Commend not a man for his beauty, neither abhor a man 
 for his outward appearance. 
 
 3 The bee is little among such as fly ; but her fruit is the 
 chief of sweet things. 
 
 4 Boast not of thy clothing and raiment, and exalt not thy- 
 self in the day of honour : for the works of the Lord are wonder- 
 ful, and his works among men are hidden. 
 
 5 Many kings have sat down upon the ground ; and one that 
 was never thought of hath worn the crown. 
 
 6 Many mighty men have been greatly disgraced ; and the 
 honourable delivered into other men's hands. 
 
 7 Blame not before thou hast examined the truth : understand 
 first, and then rebuke. 
 
 8 Answer not before thou hast heard the cause : neither in- 
 terrupt men in the midst of their talk. 
 
 9 Strive not in a matter that concerneth thee not; and sit not 
 in judgment with sinners. 
 
 10 My son, meddle not with many matters : for if thou 
 meddle much, thou shalt not be innocent : and if thou follow 
 liter, thou shalt not obtain, neither shalt thou escape by fleeing. 
 
 11 There is one that laboureth, and taketh paius, and maketh 
 haste, and is so much the more behind. 
 
 12 4gain, there is another that is slow, and hath need of help, 
 
 H 
 
 wanting ability, and full of poverty; yet the eye of tne Lord 
 looked upon him for good, and set him up from his low estate, 
 
 13 And lifted up his head from misery; so that many th.it 
 saw it marvelled at him. 
 
 14 Prosperity and adversity, life and death, poverty and rich--*, 
 come of the Lord. 
 
 15 Wisdom, knowledge, and understanding of the law, an of 
 the Lord : love, and the way of good works, are from him. 
 
 16 Error and darkness had their beginning together with sin 
 ners : and evil shall wax old with them that glory therein. 
 
 17 The gift of the Lord remaincth with the godly, and hi 
 favour bringeth prosperity for ever. 
 
 18 There is that waxeth rich by his wariness and pinching, 
 and this is the portion of his reward : 
 
 19 Whereas he saith, I have found rest, and now will eat con- 
 tinually of my goods; and yet he knoweth not what time shall 
 come upon him, and that he must leave those things to others, 
 and die. 
 
 20 Be steadfast in thy covenant, and be conversant therein, 
 and wax old in thy work. 
 
 21 Marvel not at the works of sinners; but trust in the Lord, 
 and abide in thy labour : for it is an easy thing in the sight of 
 the Lord, on the sudden to make a poor man rich. 
 
 22 The blessing of the Lord is in the reward of the godly, 
 and suddenly he maketh his blessing to flourish. 
 
 23 Say not, What profit is there of my service ? and what 
 good things shall I have hereafter? 
 
 24 Again, say not, I have enough, and possess many thing?, 
 and what evil can come to me hereafter ? 
 
 25 In the day of prosperity there is a forgetfulness of afflic- 
 tion : and in the day of affliction there is no more remembranco 
 of prosperity. 
 
 26 For it is an easy thing unto the Lord in the day of death 
 to reward a man according to his ways. 
 
 27 The affliction of an hour maketh a man forget pleasure : 
 and in his end his deeds shall be discovered. 
 
 28 Judge none blessed before his death : for a man shall be 
 known in his children. 
 
 29 Bring not every man into thine house : for the deceitful 
 man hath many trains. 
 
 30 Like as a partridge taken [and kept] in a cage, so is tho 
 heart of the proud ; and like as a spy, watcheth he for thy fall : 
 
 31 For he lieth in wait, and turncth good into evil, and in 
 things worthy praise will lay blame upon thee. 
 
 32 Of a spark of fire, a heap of coals is kindled : and a sinful 
 man layeth wait for blood. 
 
 33 Take heed of a mischievous man, for he workcth wicked- 
 ness ; lest he bring upon thee a perpetual blot. 
 
 34 Receive a stranger into thine house, and he will disturb 
 thee, and turn thee out of thine own. 
 
 CHAPTER XII. 
 
 2 Be not liberal to the ungodly. 10 Trust not thine enemy, nor tha 
 
 wicked. 
 
 WHEN thou wilt do good, know to whom thou doest it ; 30 
 shalt thou be thanked for thy benefits. 
 
 2 Do good to the godly man, and thou shalt find a recompense ; 
 and if not from him, yet from the Most High. 
 
 3 There can no good come to him that is always occupied in 
 evil, nor to him that giveth no alms. 
 
 4 Give to the godly man, and help not a sinner. 
 
 5 Do well unto him that is lowly, but give not to the ungodly : 
 hold back thy bread, and give it not unto him, lest he overmaster 
 thee thereby : for [else] thou shalt receive twice as much evil for 
 all the good thou shalt have done unto him. 
 
 6 For the Most High hateth sinners, and will repay vengeance 
 unto the ungodly, and keepcth them against the mighty day of 
 their punishment. 
 
 7 Give unto the good and help not the sinner. 
 
 8 A friend cannot be known in prosperity : and an encooy 
 cannot be hid in adversity.

 9 In the prosperity of a man, enemies will be grieved : but in 
 his adversity, even a friend will depart. 
 
 10 Never trust thine enemy : for like as iron rusteth, so is his 
 wickedness. 
 
 1 I Though he humble himself, and go crouching, yet take 
 good heed and beware of him, and thou shalt be unto him as if 
 thou hadst wiped a lookiug-glass, and thou shalt know that his 
 rust hath not been altogether wiped away. 
 
 12 Set him not by thee, lest, when he hath overthrown thee, 
 he stand up in thy place ; neither let him sit at thy right hand, 
 lest lie seek to take thy seat, and thou at the last remember my 
 words, and be pricked therewith. 
 
 13 Who will pity the charmer that is bitten with a serpent, 
 or any such as come nigh wild beasts? 
 
 14 So one that gocth to a sinner, and is defiled with him in 
 his sins, who will pity ? 
 
 15 For a while he will abide with thee, but if thou begin to 
 fall, he will not tarry. 
 
 16 An enemy speaketh sweetly with his lips, but in his heart 
 he imagineth how to throw thee into a pit : he will weep with 
 his eyes, but if he find opportunity, he will not be satisfied with 
 blood. 
 
 17 If adversity come upon thee, thou shalt find him there 
 first; and though he pretend to help thee, yet shall he under- 
 mine thee. 
 
 18 He will shake his head, and clap his hands, and whisper 
 much, and change his countenance. 
 
 CHAPTER XIII. 
 
 1 Keep not company with the proud, or a mightier than thyself. 15 
 Like will be like. 21 The difference between the rich and the poor. 
 25 A man's heart will change his countenance. 
 
 HE that toucheth pitch shall be defiled therewith; and he that 
 hath fellowship with a proud man shall be like unto him. 
 
 2 Burden not thyself above thy power while thou livest ; and 
 have no fellowship with one that is mightier and richer than thy- 
 self: for how agree the kettle and the earthen pot together? for 
 if the one be smitten against the other, it shall be broken. 
 
 3 The rich man hath done wrong, and yet he threateneth 
 withal : the poor is wronged, and he must entreat also. 
 
 4 If thou be for his profit, he will use thee : but if thou have 
 nothing, he will forsake thee. 
 
 5 If thou have any thing, he will live with thee : yea, he will 
 make thee hare, and will not be sorry for it. 
 
 6 If he have need of thee, he will deceive thee, and smile 
 upon thee, and put thee in hope; he will speak thee fair, and 
 say, What wantest thou ? 
 
 7 And he will shame thee by his meats, until he have drawn 
 thee dry twice or thrice, and at the last he will laugh thee to 
 6corn : afterward, when he seeth thee, he will forsake thee, and 
 shake his head at thee. 
 
 8 Beware that thou be not deceived, and brought down in 
 Ay jollity. 
 
 9 If thou he invited of a mighty man, withdraw thyself, and 
 o much the more will he invite thee. 
 
 10 Press thou not upon him, lest thou be put back; stand 
 ot far off, lest thou he forgotten. 
 
 11 Affect not to be made equal unto him in talk, and believe 
 not his many words : for with much communication will he tempt 
 thee, and smiling upon thee will get out thy secrets: 
 
 12 But cruelly he will lay up thy words, and will not spare 
 to do thee hurt, and to put thee in prison. 
 
 13 Observe and take good heed, for thou walkest in peril of 
 thy overthrowing : when thou hearest these things, awake in thy 
 3leep. 
 
 14 Love the Lord all thy life, and call upon him for thy sal- 
 vation. 
 
 15 Every beast loveth his like, and every man loveth his 
 neighbour. 
 
 16 All flesh consorteth according to kind, and a man will cleave 
 to his like. 
 
 58 
 
 17 What fellowship hath the wolf with tne lamb? so the sin 
 ner with the godly. 
 
 18 What agreement is there between the hyena and a dog? 
 and what peace between the rich and the poor ? 
 
 19 As the wild ass is the lion's prey in the wilderness : so the 
 rich eat up the poor. 
 
 20 As the proud hate humility : so doth the rich abhor the 
 poor. 
 
 21 A rich man beginning to fall is held up of his friends : but 
 a poor man being down is thrust also away by his friends. 
 
 22 When a rich man is fallen, he hath many helpers : he 
 speaketh things not to be spoken, and yet men justify him ; the 
 poor man slipped, and yet they rebuked him too ; he spake widely, 
 and could have no place. 
 
 23 When a rich man speaketh, every man holdeth his tongue, 
 and look, what he saith, they extol it to the clouds : but if the 
 poor man speak, they say, What fellow is this ? and if he stumble, 
 they will help to overthrow him. 
 
 24 Riches are good unto him that hath no sin, and poverty 
 is evil in the mouth of the ungodly. 
 
 25 The heart of a man changeth his countenance, whether it 
 be for good or evil : and a merry heart maketh a cheerful coun- 
 tenance. 
 
 26 A cheerful countenance is a token of a heart that is in pros- 
 perity ; and the finding out of parables is a wearisome labour of 
 the mind. 
 
 CHAPTER XIV. 
 
 2 A good conscience maketh men happy. 5 The niggard doeth gooi 
 to none. 13 But do thou good. 20 Men are happy that draw near 
 to wisdom. 
 
 BLESSED is the man that hath not slipped with his mouth, 
 and is not pricked with the multitude o*f sins. 
 
 2 Blessed is he whose conscience hath not condemned him. 
 and who is not fallen from his hope in the Lord. 
 
 3 Riches are not comely for a niggard : and what should an 
 envious man do with money 1 
 
 4 He that gathereth by defrauding his own soul, gathereth for 
 others, that shall spend his goods riotously 
 
 5 He that is evil to himself, to whom will he be good? ho 
 shall not take pleasure in his goods. 
 
 6 There is none worse than he that envieth himself; and this 
 is a recompense of his wickedness. 
 
 7 And if he doeth good, he doeth it unwillingly ; and at the 
 last he will declare his wickedness. 
 
 8 The envious man hath a wicked eye ; he turneth away his 
 face, and despiseth men. 
 
 9 A covetous man's eye is not satisfied with his portion; and 
 the iniquity of the wicked drieth up his soul. 
 
 10 A wicked eye envieth [his] bread, and he is a niggard at 
 his table. 
 
 11 My son, according to thy ability do good to thyself, and 
 give the Lord his due offering. 
 
 12 Remember that death will not be long in coming, and tnai 
 the covenant of the grave is not showed unto thee. 
 
 13 Do good unto thy friend before thou die, and according U 
 thy ability stretch out thy hand and give to him. 
 
 14 Defraud not thyself of the good day, and let not the part 
 of a good desire overpass thee. 
 
 15 Shalt thou not leave thy travails unto another? and thy 
 labours to be divided by lot ? 
 
 16 Give, and take, and sanctify thy soul ; for there is no seek- 
 ing of dainties in the grave. 
 
 17 All flesh waxeth old as a garment : for the covenant from 
 the beginning is, Thou shalt die the death 
 
 18 As of the green leaves on a thick tree, some fall, and some 
 grow; so is the generation of flesh and blood, one cometh to an 
 end, and another is born. 
 
 19 Every work rotteth and consumeth away, and the wovker 
 thereof shall go withal.

 20 Blessed is the man that doth meditate good tilings in wis- 
 dom, and that reasoneth of holy things by his understanding. 
 
 21 He that eousidereth her ways in his heart shall also have 
 understanding in her secrets. 
 
 22 Go after her as one that traceth, and lie in wait in her 
 ways. 
 
 23 He that pryeth r j at her windows shall also hearken at her 
 doors. 
 
 24 He that doth lodge near her house shall also fasten a pin 
 in her walls. 
 
 25 He shall pitch his tent nigh unto her, and shall lodge in a 
 lodging where good things are. 
 
 26 He shall set his children under her shelter, and shall lodge 
 under her branches. 
 
 27 By her he shall be covered from heat, and in her glory 
 Bhall he dwell. 
 
 CHAPTER XV. 
 
 2 Wisdom embraceth those that fear God. 7 The wicked shall not get 
 her. 15 We may not charge God with our faults: 14 For he made, 
 and left us to ourselves. 
 
 HE that feareth the Lord will do good ; and he that hath the 
 knowledge of the law shall obtain her. 
 
 2 And as a mother shall she meet him, and receive him as a 
 wife married of a virgin. 
 
 3 With the bread of understanding shall she feed him, and give 
 him the water of wisdom to drink. 
 
 4 He shall be stayed upon her, and shall not be moved ; and 
 shall rely upon her, and shall not be confounded. 
 
 5 She shall exalt him above his neighbours, and in the midst 
 of the congregation shall she open his mouth. 
 
 6 He shall find joy and a crown of gladness, and she shall 
 cause him to inherit an everlasting name. 
 
 7 But. foolish men shall not attain unto her, and sinners shall 
 not see her. 
 
 8 For she is far from pride, and men that are liars cannot re- 
 member her. 
 
 9 Praise is not seemly in the mouth of a sinner, for it was not 
 sent him of the Lord. 
 
 10 For praise shall be uttered in wisdom, and the Lord will 
 prosper it. 
 
 11 Say not thou, Tt is through the Lord that I fell away: for 
 thou oughtest not to do the things that he hateth. 
 
 12 Say not thou, He hath caused me to err : for he hath no 
 need of the sinful man. 
 
 13 The Lord hateth all abomination; ana they that fear God 
 love it not. 
 
 14 He himself made man from the beginning, and left him in 
 the hand of his counsel ; 
 
 15 If thou wilt, to keep the commandments, and to perform 
 acceptable faithfulness. 
 
 16 He hath set fire and water before thee : stretch forth thy 
 hand unto whether thou wilt. 
 
 17 Before man is life and death ; and whether him liketh shall 
 be given him. 
 
 18 For the wisdom of the Lord is great, and he is mighty in 
 power, and beholdeth all things : 
 
 19 And his eyes are upon them that fear him, and he knoweth 
 every work of man. 
 
 20 He hath commanded no man to do wickedly, neither hath 
 he given any man license to sin. 
 
 CHAPTER XVI. 
 
 1 It is better to have none, than many lewd children. 6 The wicked 
 are not spared for their number. 12 Both the wrath and the mercy 
 of the Lord are great. 17 The wicked cannot be hid. 20 God's 
 works are unsearchable. 
 
 DESIRE not a multitude of unprofitable children, neither de- 
 light in ungodly sons. * 
 2 Though they multiply, rejoice not in them, except the fear 
 jf iho Lord be with them. 
 
 3 Trust not thou in their life, neither respect their multitude 
 for one that is just is better than a thousand; and better it is u 
 die without children, than lo have them that arc ungodly. 
 
 4 For by one that hath understanding shall the city be replen- 
 ished : but the kindred of the wicked shall speedijy become deso- 
 late. 
 
 5 Many such things have I seen with mine eyes, and mine ear 
 hath heard greater things than these. 
 
 6 In the congregation of the ungodly shall a fire be kindled 
 and in a rebellious nation wrath is set on fire. 
 
 7 He was not pacified towards the old giants who fell away in 
 the strength of their foolishness. 
 
 8 Neither spared he the place where Lot sojourned, but ab- 
 horred them for their pride. 
 
 9 He pitied not the people of perdition, who were taken away 
 in their sins : 
 
 10 Nor the six hundred thousand footmen, who were gathered 
 together in the hardness of their hearts. 
 
 11 And if there be one stiff-necked among the people, it is 
 marvel if he escape unpunished : for mercy and wrath are with 
 him ; he is mighty to forgive, and to pour out displeasure. 
 
 12 As his mercy is great, so is his correction also : he judgeth 
 a man according to his works. 
 
 13 The sinner shall not escape with his spoils : and the pa- 
 tience of the godly shall not be frustrate. 
 
 14 Make way for every work of mercy : for every man shall 
 find according to his works. 
 
 15 The Lord hardened Pharaoh, that he should not know him, 
 that his powerful works might be known to the world. 
 
 16 His mercy is manifest to every creature; and he hath sepa- 
 rated his light from the darkness with an adamant. 
 
 17 Say not thou, I will hide myself from the Lord :' shall any 
 remember me from above ? I shall not be remembered among so 
 many people : for what is my soul among such an infinite number 
 of creatures ? 
 
 18 Behold, the heaven, and the heaven of heavens, the deep, 
 and the earth, and all that therein is, shall be moved when he 
 shall visit. 
 
 19 The mountains also and foundations of the earth shall be 
 shaken with trembling, when the Lord looketh upon them. 
 
 20 No heart can think upon these things worthily : and who 
 is able to conceive his ways ? 
 
 21 It is a tempest which no man can see: for the most part 
 of his works are hid. 
 
 22 Who can declare the works of his justice? or who can en- 
 dure them ? for his covenant is afar off, and the trial of all things 
 is in the end. 
 
 23 He that wanteth understanding, will think upon vain things : 
 and a foolish man erring, imagineth follies. 
 
 24 My son, hearken unto me, and learn knowledge, and mark 
 my words with thy heart. 
 
 25 I will show forth doctrine iu weight, and declare his knowl- 
 edge exactly. 
 
 26 The works of the Lord are done in judgment from the bo- 
 ginning : and from the time he made them he disposed the parts 
 thereof. 
 
 27 He garnished his works forever, and in his hand are the 
 chief of them unto all generations : they neither labour, nor are 
 weary, nor cease from their works. 
 
 28 None of them hiudereth another, and they shall never dis- 
 obey his word. 
 
 29 After this the Lord looked upon the eartn, and filled it 
 with his blessings. 
 
 30 With all manner of living things hath he covered the face 
 thereof; and they shall return into it again. 
 
 CHAPTER XVII. 
 
 1 How God created and furnished man. 14 Avoid all sin : 19 for God 
 seeth all things. 25 Turn to him while thou livest.

 2 He gave them few days, and a short time, and power also 
 over the things therein. 
 
 3 Ho endued them with strength by themselves, and made 
 them according to his image, 
 
 4 And put the fear of man upon all flesh, and gave him do- 
 minion over beasts and fowls. 
 
 5 [They received the use of the five operations of the Lord, 
 and in the sixth place he imparted them understanding, and in 
 the seventh speech, an interpreter of the cogitations thereof.] 
 
 6 Counsel, and a tongue, and eyes, ears, and a heart, gave he 
 them to understand. 
 
 7 Withal he filled them with the knowledge of understanding, 
 and showed them good and evil. 
 
 8 He set his eyes upon their hearts, that he might show them 
 the greatness of his works. 
 
 9 lie gave them to glory in his marvellous acts for ever, that 
 they might declare his works wilh understanding. 
 
 10 And the elect shall praise his holy name. 
 
 11 Besides this, he gave them knowledge, and the law of life 
 for a heritage. 
 
 12 lie made an everlasting covenant with them, and showed 
 them his judgments. 
 
 18 Their eyes saw the majesty of his glory, and their ears 
 heard his glorious voice. 
 
 14 And he said unto them, Beware of all unrighteousness; 
 and he gave every mau commandment concerning his neighbour. 
 
 15 Their ways are ever before him, and shall not be hid from 
 his eyes. 
 
 16 Every man from his youth is given to evil; neither could 
 they make to themselves fleshly hearts for stony. 
 
 17 For in the division of the nations of the whole earth, he 
 set a ruler over every people ; but Israel is the Lord's portion. 
 
 18 Whom, being his first-born, he nourisheth with discipline, 
 and, giving him the light of his love, doth not forsake him. 
 
 19 Therefore all their works are as the sun before him, and 
 his eyes are contiuually upon their ways. 
 
 20 None of their unrighteous deeds are hid from him, but all 
 their sins are before the Lord. 
 
 21 But the Lord being gracious, and knowing his workman- 
 ship, neither left nor forsook them but spared them. 
 
 22 The alms of a man is as a signet with him, and he will 
 Keep the good deeds of man as the apple of the eye, and give 
 >"epentance to his sons and daughters. 
 
 23 Afterward he will rise up and reward them, and render 
 their recompense upon their heads. 
 
 24 But unto them that repent, he granted them return, and 
 comforted those that failed in patience. 
 
 25 Return unto the Lord, and forsake thy sins, and make thy 
 prayer before his face, and offend less. 
 
 26 Turn again to the Most High, and turn away from iniquity : 
 for he will lead thee out of darkness into the light of health ; and 
 hate thou abomination vehemently. 
 
 27 Who shall praise the Most High in the grave, instead of 
 them which live and give thanks 1 
 
 28 Thanksgiving perisheth from the dead, as from one that is 
 ot : the living and sound in heart shall praise the Lord. 
 
 29 How great is the loving-kindness of the Lord our God, and 
 his compassion unto such as turn unto him in holiness ! 
 
 30 For all things cannot be in men, because the son of man 
 is not immortal. 
 
 31 What is brighter than the sun? yet the light thereof fail- 
 eth : and flesh and blood will imagine evil. 
 
 32 He vieweth the power of the height of heaven, and all men 
 are but earth and ashes. 
 
 CHAPTER XVIII. 
 
 4 God's works are to be wondered at. 9 Man's life is short. 11 God 
 is merciful. 16 Do not blemish thy good deeds with ill words. 22 
 Defer not to be justified. 30 Follow not thy lusts. 
 
 E that liveth for ever created all things in general. 
 2 The Iiord only is righteous, and there is none other but he.

 3 Who governeth the world with the palm of hi? hand, and 
 all things obey his will : for he is the king of all, by his power 
 dividing holy things among them from profane. 
 
 4 To whom hath he given power to declare his works? and 
 who shall find out his noble acts? 
 
 5 Who shall number the strength of his majesty? and who 
 shall also tell out his mercies ? 
 
 6 As for the wondrous works of the Lord, there may nothing 
 be taken from them, neither may any thing be put unto them, 
 neither can the ground of them be found out. 
 
 7 When a man hath done, then he beginneth ; and wheD he 
 leaveth off, then he shaii be doubtful. 
 
 8 What is man, and whereto serveth he? what is his good, 
 and what is his evil ? 
 
 9 The number of a man's days at the most are a hundred 
 years. 
 
 10 As a drop of water unto the sea, and a gravel-stone in com- 
 parison of the sand ; so are a thousand years to the day3 of 
 eternity. 
 
 11 Therefore is God patient with them, and poureth forth his 
 mercy upon them. 
 
 12 He saw and perceived their end to be evil; therefore he 
 multiplied his compassion. 
 
 13 The mercy of man is towards his neighbour : but the mercy 
 of the Lord is upon all flesh : he reproveth, and nurtureth, and 
 teacheth, and briugeth again, as a shepherd his flock. 
 
 14 He hath mercy on them that receive discipline, and that 
 diligently seek after his judgments. 
 
 15 My son, blemish not thy good deeds, neither use uncom- 
 fortable words when thou givest any thing. 
 
 16 Shall not the dew assuage the heat? so is a word better 
 than a gift. 
 
 17 Lo, is not a word better than a gift? but both are with a 
 gracious man. 
 
 18 A fool will upbraid churlishly, and a gift of the envious 
 consumeth the eyes. 
 
 19 Learn before thou speak, and use physic or ever thou bo 
 sick. 
 
 20 Before judgment examine thyself, and in the day of visita- 
 tion thou shalt find mercy. 
 
 21 Humble thyself before thou be sick, and in the time of 
 sins show repentance. 
 
 22 Let nothing hinder thee to pay thy vow in due time, and 
 defer not until death to be justified. 
 
 23 Before thou prayest, prepare thyself; and be not as ono 
 that tempteth the Lord. 
 
 24 Think upon the wrath that shall be at the end, and the 
 time of vengeance, when he shall turn away his face. 
 
 25 When thou hast enough, remember the time of hunger : 
 and when thou art rich, think upon poverty and need. 
 
 26 From the morning until the evening the time is changed, 
 and all things ai-e soon done before the Lord. 
 
 27 A wise man will fear in every thing, and in the day of 
 sinning he will beware of offence : but a fool will not observ « 
 time. 
 
 28 Every man of understanding knoweth wisdom, and will 
 give praise unto him that found her. 
 
 29 They that were of understanding in sayings, became also 
 wise themselves, and poured forth exquisite parables. 
 
 30 Go not after thy lusts, but refrain thyself fron\ thine appe- 
 tites. 
 
 31 If thou givest thy soul the desires that please her, she will 
 make thee a laughing-stock to thine enemies that malign thee. 
 
 32 Take not pleasure in much good cheer, neither be tied to 
 the expense thereof. 
 
 33 Be not made a beggar by banqueting upon borrowing, when 
 thou hast nothing in thy purse : for thou shalt lie in wait for thine 
 own life, and be talked on.

 3 Moths and worms shall have him to heritage, and a bold 
 man shall be taken away. 
 
 4 He that is hasty to give credit is light-minded ; and he that 
 einneth shall offend against his own soul. 
 
 5 Whoso taketh pleasure in wickedniss shall be condemned: 
 but he that resisteth pleasures crowneth his life. 
 
 6 He that can rule his tongue shall live without strife; and 
 he that hateth babbling shall have less evil. 
 
 7 Rehearse not unto another that which is told unto thee, and 
 thou shalt fare never the worse. 
 
 8 Whether it be to a friend or foe, talk not of other men's 
 lives ; and if thou canst without offence, reveal them not. 
 
 9 For he heard and observed thee, and when time cometh he 
 will hate thee. 
 
 10 If thou hast heard a word, let it die with thee ; and be 
 bold ; it will not burst thee. 
 
 11 A fool travaileth with a word, as a woman in labour of a 
 child. 
 
 12 As an arrow that sticketh in a man's thigh, so is a word 
 within a fool's belly. 
 
 13 Admonish a friend, it may be he hath not done it : and if 
 he have done it, that he do it no more. 
 
 14 Admonish thy friend, it may be he hath not said it : and 
 if he have, that he speak it not again. 
 
 15 Admonish a friend : for many times it is a slander, and 
 believe not every tale. 
 
 16 There is one that slippeth in his speech, but not from his 
 heart ; and who is he that hath not offended with his tongue ? 
 
 17 Admonish thy neighbour before thou threaten him ; and 
 not being angry, give place to the law of the Most High. 
 
 18 The fear of the Lord is the first step to be accepted [of 
 him,] and wisdom obtaineth his love. 
 
 19 The knowledge of the commandments of the Lord is the 
 doctrine of life : and they that do things that please him shall 
 receive the fruit of the tree of immortality. 
 
 20 The fear of the Lord is all wisdom ; and in all wisdom is the 
 performance of the law, and the knowledge of his omnipotency. 
 
 21 If a servant say to his master, I will not do as it pleaseth 
 thee ; though afterward he do it, he angereth him that nourisheth 
 him. 
 
 22 The knowledge of wickedness is not wisdom, neither at 
 any time the counsel of sinners prudence. 
 
 23 There is a wickedness, and the same an abomination ; and 
 there is a fool wanting in wisdom. 
 
 24 He that hath small understanding, and feareth God, is 
 better than one that hath much wisdom, and trausgresseth the 
 law of the Most High. 
 
 25 There is an exquisite subtilty, and the same is unjust; and 
 there is one that turneth aside to make judgment appear; and 
 there is a wise man that justifieth in judgment. 
 
 26 There is a wicked man that hangeth down his head sadly; 
 but inwardly he is full of deceit, 
 
 27 Casting down his countenance, and making as if he heard 
 not : where he is not known, he will do thee a mischief before 
 thou be aware. 
 
 28 And if for want of power he be hindered from sinning, yet 
 when he findeth opportunity he will do evil. 
 
 29 A man may be known by his look, and one that hath un- 
 derstanding by his countenance, wnen thou meetest him. 
 
 30 A man's attire, and excessive laughter, and gait, show 
 nha.1 he is 
 
 CHAPTER XX. 
 
 1 Of silence and speaking. 10 Of gifts and gain. 18 Of slipping by 
 the tongue. 24 Of lying. 27 Of divers advertisements. 
 
 rPHERE is a reproof that is not comely : again, some man hold' 
 J- eth his tongue, and he is wise. 
 
 2 It is much better to reprove, than to be angry secretly: and 
 he that confesseth his fault shall be preserved from hurt. 
 
 3 How good is it, when thou art reproved, to show repentance 
 for so shalt thou escape wilful sin. 
 
 4 As is the lust of an eunuch to deflour a virgin; so is ho tha 
 executeth judgment with violence. 
 
 5 There is one that keepeth silence, and is found wise : and 
 another by much babbling becometh hateful. 
 
 6 Some man holdeth his tongue, because he hath not to 
 answer : and some keepeth silence, knowing his time. 
 
 7 A wise man will hold his tongue till he see opportunity : 
 but a babbler and a fool will regard no time. 
 
 8 He that useth many words shall be abhorred; and he thai 
 taketh to himself authority therein shall be hated. 
 
 9 There is a sinner that hath good success in evil things ; and 
 there is a gaia that turneth to loss. 
 
 10 There is a gift that shall not profit thee; and there is a 
 gift whose recompense is double. 
 
 11 There is an abasement because of glory; and there is that 
 lifteth up his head from a low estate. 
 
 12 There is that buyeth much for a little, and repayeth it 
 seven-fold. 
 
 13 A wise man by his words maketh himself beloved : but 
 the graces of fools shall be poured out. 
 
 14 The gift of a fool shall do thee no good when thou hast it; 
 neither yet of the envious for his necessity : for he looketh to re- 
 ceive many things for one. 
 
 15 He givcth little, and upbraideth much; he openeth his 
 mouth like a crier; to-day he lendeth, and to-morrow will he ask 
 it again : such a one is to be hated of God and man. 
 
 16 The fool saith, I have no friends, I have no thanks for all 
 my good deeds, and they that eat my bread speak evil of me. 
 
 17 How oft, and of how many shall he be laughed to scorn ! 
 for he knoweth not aright what it is to have ; and it is all one 
 unto him as if he had it uot. 
 
 18 To slip upon a pavement is better than to slip with the 
 tongue ; so the fall of the wicked shall come speedily. 
 
 19 An unseasonable tale will always be in the mouth of the 
 unwise. 
 
 20 A wise sentence shall be rejected when it cometh out of 
 a fool's mouth ; for he will not speak it in due season. 
 
 21 There is that is hindered from sinning through want: and 
 when he taketh rest, he shall not be troubled. 
 
 22 There is that destroyeth his own soul through bashfulness, 
 and by accepting of persons overthrowe'h himself. 
 
 23 There is that for bashfulness prondseth to his friend, and 
 maketh him his enemy for nothing. 
 
 24 A lie is a foul blot in a man, yet it is continually in the 
 mouth of the untaught. 
 
 25 A thief is better than a man that is accustomed to Ik : 
 but they both shall have destruction to heritage. 
 
 26 The disposition of a liar is dishonourable, and his shame 
 is ever with him. 
 
 27 A wise man shall promote himself to honour with his 
 words : and he that hath understanding will please great men. 
 
 28 He that tilleth his land shall increase his heap : and he 
 that pleaseth great men shall get pardon for iniquity. 
 
 29 Presents and gifts blind the eyes of the wise, and stop up 
 his mouth that he cannot reprove. 
 
 30 Wisdom that is hid, and treasure that is hoarded up, what 
 profit is in them both ? 
 
 31 Better is he that hideth his folly than a man that hideth 
 his wisdom. 
 
 32 Necessary patience in seeking the Lord is better than he 
 that lcadcth his life without a guide.

 MY son, hast thou sinned ? do so no more, but ask pardon for 
 thy former sins.

 7 An eloquent man is known far and near; but a man of un- 
 derstanding knoweth when he slippcth. 
 
 8 He that buildeth his house with other men's money is like 
 one that gathereth himself stones for the tomb of his burial. 
 
 9 The congregation of the wicked is like tow wrapped together : 
 and the end of them is a flame of fire to destroy them. 
 
 10 The way of sinners is made plain with stones, but at the 
 end thereof is the pit of hell. 
 
 1 1 He that keepeth the law of the Lord getteth the under- 
 standing thereof: and the perfection of the fear of the Lord is 
 wisdom. 
 
 12 He that is not wise will not be taught : but there is a 
 wisdom which multiplieth bitterness. 
 
 13 The knowledge of a wise man shall abound like a flood : 
 and his counsel is like a pure fountain of life. 
 
 14 The inner parts of a fool are like a broken vessel, and he 
 will hold no knowledge as long as he liveth. 
 
 15 If a skilful mau hear a wise word, he will commend it, and 
 add unto it : but as soon as one of no understanding heareth it, 
 it displeaseth him, and he casteth it behind his back. 
 
 16 The talking of a fool is like a burden in the way : but 
 grace shall be found in the lips of the wise. 
 
 17 They inquire at the mouth of the wise man in the congre- 
 gation, and they shall ponder his words in their heart. 
 
 18 As is a house that is destroyed, so is wisdom to a fool : 
 and the knowledge of the unwise is as talk without sense. 
 
 19 Doctrine unto fools is as fetters on the feet, and like mana- 
 cles on the light hand. 
 
 20 A fool lifteth up his voice with laughter ; but a wise man 
 doth scarce smile a little. 
 
 21 Learning is unto a wise man as an ornament of gold, and 
 like a bracelet upon his right arm. 
 
 22 A foolish man's foot is soon in his [neighbour's] house; 
 b'lt a man of experience is ashamed of him. 
 
 23 A fool will peep in at the door into the house : but he that 
 is well nurtured will stand without. 
 
 24 It is the rudeness of a man to hearken at the door : but a 
 jrise man will be grieved with the disgrace. 
 
 25 The lips of talkers will be telling such things as pertain 
 not unto them : but the words of such as have understanding are 
 weighed in the balance. 
 
 26 The heart of fools is in their mouth : but the mouth of the 
 wise is in their heart. 
 
 27 When the ungodly curseth Satan, he curseth his own soul. 
 
 28 A whisperer defileth his own soul, and is hated whereso- 
 ever he dwelleth. 
 
 CHAPTER XXII. 
 
 1 Of the slothful man, 3 and a foolish daughter. 11 Weep rather for 
 fools, than for the dead. 13 Meddle not with them. 16 The wise 
 man's heart will Dot shrink. 20 What will lose a friend. 
 
 A SLOTHFUL man is compared to a filthy stone, and every 
 one will hiss him out to his disgrace. 
 
 62 
 
 2 A slothful man is compared to the filth of a dung-hill ■ 
 every man that takes it up will shake his hand. 
 
 3 An evil-nurtured son is the dishonour of his father that be- 
 gat him : and a [foolish] daughter is born to his loss. 
 
 4 A wise daughter shall bring an inheritance to her husband : 
 but she that liveth dishonestly is her father's heaviness. 
 
 5 She that is bold dishonoureth both her father and her hus- 
 band, but they both shall despise her. 
 
 6 A tale out of season [is as] music in mourning : but str'pes 
 and correction of wisdom are never out of time. 
 
 7 Whoso tcacheth a fool is as one that glueth a potsherd to 
 gcther, and as he that waketh one from a sound sleep. 
 
 8 He that telleth a tale to a fool speaketh to one in a slumber : 
 when he hath told his tale, he will say, What is the matter? 
 
 9 If children live honestly, and have wherewithal, they shall 
 cover the baseness of their parents. 
 
 10 But children, being haughty, through disdain and want of 
 nurture do stain the nobility of their kindred. 
 
 11 Weep for the dead, for he hath lost the light: and weep 
 for the fool, for he wanteth understanding : make little weeping 
 for the dead, for he is at rest : but the life of the fool is worse 
 than death. 
 
 12 Seven days do men mourn for him that is dead; but for a 
 fool and an ungodly man all the days of his life. 
 
 13 Talk not much with a fool, and go not to him that hath no. 
 understanding : beware of him, lest thou have trouble, and thou 
 shalt never be defiled with his fooleries : depart from him, and 
 thou shalt find rest, and never be disquieted with madness. 
 
 14 What is heavier than lead ? and what is the name thereof, 
 but a fool 1 
 
 15 Sand, and salt, and a mass of iron, is easier to bear than b 
 man without understanding. 
 
 16 As timber girt and bound together in a building cannot be 
 loosed with shaking : so the heart that is stablished by advised 
 counsel shall fear at no time. 
 
 17 A heart settled upon a thought of understanding is as u 
 fair plastering on the wall of a gallery. 
 
 18 Pales set on an high place will never stand against the 
 wind : so a fearful heart in the imagination of a fool cannot stand 
 against any fear. 
 
 19 He that pricketh the eye will make tears to fall ; and he 
 that pricketh the heart maketh it to show her knowledge. 
 
 20 Whoso casteth a stone at the birds frayeth them away • 
 and he that upbraideth his friend breaketh friendship. 
 
 21 Though thou drewest a sword at thy friend, yet despair 
 not : for there may be a returning [to favour.] 
 
 22 If thou hast opened thy mouth against thy friend, fear not ; 
 for there may be a reconciliation : except for upbraiding, or pride, 
 or disclosing of secrets, or a treacherous wound : for, for these 
 things every friend will depart. 
 
 23 Be faithful to thy neighbour in his poverty, that thou 
 mayest rejoice in his prosperity : abide steadfast unto him in the 
 time of his trouble, that thou mayest be heir with him in his 
 heritage : for a mean estate is not always to be contemned : n a 
 the rich that is foolish to be had in admiration. 
 
 24 As the vapour and smoke of a furnace goeth before tLs 
 fire ; so reviling before blood. 
 
 25 I will not be ashamed to defend a frieud ; neither will 1 
 hide myself from him. 
 
 26 And if any evil happen unto me by him, every one tha r . 
 heareth it will beware of him. 
 
 27 Who shall set a w r atch before my mouth, and a seal of 
 wisdom upon my lips, that I fall not suddenly by them, and thai 
 my tongue destroy me not? 
 
 CHAPTER XXIII. 
 
 1 A prayer for grace to flee sin. 9 We may not use swearing: 14 bat

 !i Who will set scourges oxer my thoughts, and the fliseirdine 
 of wisdom over mine heart? that they spare me not for mine ig- 
 norances, and it pass not by my sins . 
 
 3 Lest mine ignorances increase, and my sins abound to my 
 destruction, and I fall before mine adversaries, and mine enemy 
 rejoice over me, whose hope is far from thy mercy. 
 
 4 Lord, Father and God of my life, give ine not a proud 
 jook. but turn away from thy servants always a haughty mind. 
 
 5 Turn away from me vain hopes and concupiscence, and thou 
 shult hold him up that is desirous always to serve thee. 
 
 6 Let not the greediness of the belly nor lust of the flesh take 
 hold of me ; and give not over me thy servant into an impudent 
 mind. 
 
 7 Hear, ye children, the discipline of the mouth : he that 
 keepeth it shall never be taken in his lips. 
 
 8 The sinner shall be left in his foolishness : both the evil 
 speaker and the proud shall fall thereby. 
 
 9 Accustom not thy mouth to swearing; neither use thyself 
 to the naming of the Holy One. 
 
 10 For as a servant that is continually beaten shall not be 
 without a blue mark : so he that sweareth and nameth God con- 
 tinually shall not be faultless. 
 
 11 A man that useth much swearing shall be filled with ini- 
 quity, and. the plague shall never depart from his house: if he 
 jshall offend, his sin shall be upon him : and if he acknowledge 
 not his sin, he maketh a double offence : and if he swear in vain, 
 he shall not be innocent, but his house shall be full of calam- 
 ities. 
 
 12 There is a word that is clothed about with death : God 
 grant that it be not found in the heritage of Jacob ; for all such 
 things shall be far from the godly, and they shall not wallow in 
 their sins. 
 
 13 Use not thy mouth to intemperate swearing, for therein is 
 the word of sin. 
 
 14 Remember thy father and thy mother, when thou sittest 
 among great men. Be not forgetful before them, and so thou by 
 thy custom become a fool, and wish that thou haclst not been born, 
 and curse the day of thy nativity. 
 
 15 The man that is accustomed to opprobrious words will 
 never be reformed all the days of his life. 
 
 16 Two sorts of men multiply sin, aed the third will bring 
 wrath : a hot mind is as a burning fire, it will never be quenched 
 till it be consumed : a fornicator in the body of his flesh will 
 never cease till he hath kindled a fire. 
 
 17 All bread is sweet to a whoremonger, he will not leave off 
 till he die. 
 
 18 A man that breaketh wedlock, saying thus in his heart, 
 Who seeth me ? I am compassed about with darkness, the walls 
 cover me, and no body seeth me; what need I to fear? the Most 
 High will not remember my sins : 
 
 19 Such a man only feareth the eyes of men, and knoweth 
 not that the eyes of the Lord are. ten thousand times brighter 
 than the sun, beholding all the ways of men, and considering the 
 most secret parts. 
 
 20 He knew all things ere ever they were created; so also 
 after they were perfected he looked upon them all. 
 
 21 This man shall be punished in the streets of the city, and 
 where he suspecteth not he shall be taken. 
 
 22 Thus shall it go also with the wife that leaveth her hus- 
 band, and bringeth in an heir by another. 
 
 23 For first, she hath disobeyed the law of the Most High; 
 and secondly, she hath trespassed against. her own husband; and 
 thirdly, she hath played the whore in adultery, and brought chil- 
 dren by another man. 
 
 24 She shall be brought out into the congregation, and inqui- 
 sition shall be made of her children. 
 
 25 Her children shall not take root, and her branches shall 
 bring forth no fruit. 
 
 2G She shall leave her memory to be cursed, and her reproach 
 shall not be blotted out. 
 
 27 And they that remain shall know that there is nothing 
 
 better than the fear of the Lord, and that there is nothing sweeter 
 than to take heed unto the commandments of the Lord. 
 
 28 It is great glory to follow the Lord, and to be received cJ 
 
 him is long life. 
 
 CHAPTER XXIV. 
 
 1 Wisdom doth praise herself, showing her beginning, 4 her dwelling 
 13 her glory, 17 her fruit, 26 her increase and perfection 
 
 WISDOM shall praise herself, and shall glory in the midst of 
 her people. 
 
 2 In the congregation of the Most High shall 6he open hoi 
 mouth, and triumph before his power. 
 
 3 I came out of the mouth of the Most High, and covered the 
 earth as a cloud. 
 
 4 I dwelt in high places, and my throne is in a cloudy pillar. 
 
 5 I alone compassed the circuit of heaven, and walked in tho 
 bottom of the deep. 
 
 6 In the waves of the sea, and in all the earth, and in everj 
 people and nation, I got a possession. 
 
 7 With all these I sought rest : and in whv.se inheritance shall 
 I abide ? 
 
 8 So the Creator of all things gave me a commandment, and 
 he that made me caused my tabernacle to rest, and said, Let t h 7 
 dwelling be in Jacob, and thine inheritance in Israel. 
 
 9 He created me from the beginning before the world, and 1 
 shall never fail 
 
 10 In the holy tabernacle I served before him; and so was 1 
 established in Sion. 
 
 11 Likewise in the beloved city he gave me rest, and in Jeru 
 salem was my power. 
 
 12 And I took root in an honourable people, even in the 
 portion of the Lord's inheritance. 
 
 13 I was exalted like a cedar in Libanus, and as a cypress-tree 
 upon the mountains of Hermon. 
 
 14 I was exalted like a palm-tree in Engaddi, and as a rose 
 plant in Jericho, as a fair olive-tree in a pleasant field, and grew 
 up as a plane-tree by the water. 
 
 15 I gave a sweet smell like cinnamon and aspalathus, and 1 
 yielded a pleasant odour like the best myrrh, as galbanum, and 
 onyx, and sweet storax, and as the fume of frankincense in the 
 tabernacle. 
 
 16 As the turpentine-tree I stretched out my branches, and 
 my branches are the branches of honour and grace. 
 
 17 As the vine brought. I forth a pleasant savour, and my 
 flowers are the fruit of honour and riches. 
 
 18 I am the mother of fair love, and fear, and knowledge, and 
 holy hope : I therefore, being eternal, am given to all my chil- 
 dren which are named of him. 
 
 19 Come unto me, all ye that be desirous of me, and fill your- 
 selves with my fruits. 
 
 20 For my memorial is sweeter than boney, and mine inherit- 
 ance than the honey-comb. 
 
 21 They that eat me shall yet be hungry, and they that drink 
 me shall yet be thirsty. 
 
 22 He that obeyeth me shall never be confounded, and they 
 that work by me shall not do amiss. 
 
 23 All these things are the book of the covenant of the most 
 high God, even the law which Moses commanded for an heritage 
 unto the congregations of Jacob. 
 
 24 Faint not to be strong in the Lord : that he may confirm 
 you, cleave unto him : for the Lord Almighty is God alone, and 
 besides him there is no other Saviour. 
 
 25 He filleth all things with his wisdom, as Phison and as 
 Tigris in the time of the new fruits. 
 
 26 He maketh the understanding to abound like Euphrates, 
 and as Jordan in the time of the harvest. 
 
 27 He maketh the doctrine of knowledge appear as the light, 
 and as Geon in the time of vintage. 
 
 28 The first man knew her not perfectly : no more shall the 
 last find her out.

 29 For her thoughts arc more than the sea, and her counsels 
 profounder than the great deep. 
 
 30 I also came out as a brook from a river, and as a conduit 
 into a garden. 
 
 31 I said, T will water my best garden, and will water abun- 
 dantly my garden-bed : and lo, my brook became a river, and 
 lnv river became a sea. 
 
 32 I will yet make doctrine to shine as the morning, and will 
 gond forth her light afar off. 
 
 33 I will yet pour out doctrine as prophecy, and leave it to all 
 tges for ever. 
 
 34 Behold that I have not laboured for myself only, but for 
 all them that seek wisdom. 
 
 CHAPTEE XXV. 
 
 1 What things are beautiful, and what hateful. 6 What is the crown 
 of age. 7 What things make man happy. 13 Nothing worse than 
 a wicked woman. 
 
 IN three things I was beautified, and stood up beautiful both 
 before God and men : the unity of brethren, the love of neigh- 
 bours, a man and a wife that agree together. 
 
 2 Three sorts of men my soul hateth, and I am greatly offend- 
 ed at their life : a poor man that is proud, a rich man that is a 
 liar, and an old adulterer that doteth. 
 
 3 If thou hast gathered nothing in thy youth, how canst thou 
 find any thing in thine age ? 
 
 4 how comely a thing is judgment for gray hair?- ai-d for 
 ancient men to know counsel ! 
 
 5 how comely is the wisdom of old men, and understanding 
 and counsel to men of honour ! 
 
 6 Much experience is the crown of old men, and the fear of 
 God is their glory. 
 
 7 There be nine things which I have judged in mine heart to 
 be happy, and the tenth I will utter with my tongue: A man 
 that hath joy of his children; and he that liveth to see the fall 
 of his enemy : 
 
 8 Well is him that dwelleth with a wife of understanding, and 
 that hath not slipped with his tongue, and that hath not served 
 a man more unworthy than himself: 
 
 9 Well is him that hath found prudence, and he that speaketh 
 in the ears of them that will hear : 
 
 10 how great is he that findeth wisdom ! yet is there none 
 above him that feareth the Lord. 
 
 11 But the love of the Lord passeth all things for illumina- 
 tion : he that holdeth it, whereto shall he be likened ! 
 
 12 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of his love : and 
 faith is the beginning of cleaving unto him. 
 
 13 [Give me] any plague, but the plague of the heart : and 
 any wickedness, but the wickedness of a woman : 
 
 11 And any affliction, but the affliction from them that hate 
 me : and any revenge, but the revenge of enemies. 
 
 15 There is no head above the head of a serpent; and there 
 is no wrath above the wrath of an enemy. 
 
 16 I had rather dwell with a lion and a dragon, than to keep 
 house with a wicked woman. 
 
 17 The wickedness of a woman changeth her face, and dark- 
 eneth her countenance like sackcloth. 
 
 18 Her husband shall sit among his neighbours; and when 
 he heareth it shall sigh bitterly. 
 
 19 All wickedness is but little to the wickedness of a woman : 
 (et the portion of a sinner fall upon her. 
 
 20 As the climbing of a sandy way is to the feet of the aged, 
 so is a wife full of words to a quiet man. 
 
 21 Stumble not at the beauty of a woman, and desire her not 
 for pleasure. 
 
 22 A woman, if she maintain her husband, is full of anger, 
 impudence, and mueli reproach. 
 
 23 A wicked woman abateth the courage, maketh an heavy 
 ountenance and a wounded heart: a woman that will not com - 
 
 rt. her husband in distress maketh weak hands and feeble knees. 
 
 (54 
 
 24 Of the woman came the beginning of sin, and through hei 
 we all die. 
 
 25 Give the water no passage ; neither a wicked woman lib- 
 erty to gad abroad. 
 
 26 If she go not as thou wouldest have her, cut her of from 
 thy flesh, and give her a bill of divorce, and let her go. 
 
 CHAPTER XXVI. 
 
 1 A good wife, 4 and a good conscience do glad men. 6 A wicked wife 
 is a fearful thing. 13 Of good and bad wives. 28 Of three things 
 that are grievous. 29 Merchants and hucksters are not without sia 
 
 BLESSED is th-e man that hath a virtuous wife, for the num- 
 ber of his days shall be double. 
 
 2 A virtuous woman rejoiceth her husband, and he shall fulfil 
 the years of his life in peace. 
 
 3 A good wife is a good portion, which shall be given in the 
 portion of them that i'ear the Lord. 
 
 4 Whether a man be rich or poor, if he have a good heart 
 towards the Lord, he shall at all times rejoice with a cheerful 
 countenance. 
 
 5 There be three things that mine heart feareth ; and for the 
 fourth I was sore afraid : the slander of a city, and gathering to- 
 gether of an unruly multitude, and a false accusation : all these 
 are worse than death. 
 
 6 But a grief of heart and sorrow is a woman that is jealous 
 over another woman, and a scourge of the tongue which commu- 
 nicateth with all. 
 
 7 An evil wife is a yoke shaken to and fro : he that hath hold 
 of her is as though he held a scorpion 
 
 8 A drunken woman and a gadder abroad causeth great anger, 
 and she will not cover her own shame. 
 
 9 The whoredom of a woman may be known in her haughty 
 looks and eyelids. 
 
 10 If thy daughter be shameless, keep her in straitly, lest she 
 abuse herself through overmuch liberty. 
 
 11 Watch over an impudent eye : and marvel not if she tres- 
 pass against thee. 
 
 12 She will open her mouth as a thirsty traveller when he 
 hath found a fountain, and drink of every water near her : bj 
 every hedge she will sit down, and open her quiver against every 
 arrow. 
 
 13 The grace of a wife delighteth her husband, and her dis- 
 cretion will fatten his bones. 
 
 14 A silent and loving woman is a gift of the Lord ; and there 
 is nothing so much worth as a mind well instructed. 
 
 15 A shamefaced and a faithful woman is a double grace, and 
 her continent mind cannot be valued. 
 
 16 As the sun when it ariseth in the high heaven; so is the 
 beauty of a good wife in the ordering of her house. 
 
 17 As the clear light is upon the holy candlestick; so is the 
 beauty of the face in ripe age. 
 
 18 As the golden pillars f are upon the sockets of silver; so 
 are the fair feet with a constant heart. 
 
 19 My son, keep the flower of thine age sound; and give not 
 thy strength to strangers. 
 
 20 When thou hast gotten a fruitful possession through al. 
 the field, sow it with thine own seed, trusting in the goodness ot 
 thy stock. 
 
 21 So thy race which thou leavest shall be magnified, having 
 the confidence of their good descent. 
 
 22 An harlot shall be accounted as spittle, but a married 
 woman is a tower against death to her husband. 
 
 23 A wicked woman is given as a portion to a wicked mao : 
 but a godly woman is given to him that feareth the Lord. 
 
 24 A dishonest woman contemneth shame : but an honest 
 woman will reverence her husband. 
 
 25 A shameless woman shall be accounted as a dog ; but she 
 that is shamefaced will fear the Lord. 
 
 26 A woman that honoureth her husband shall be judged 
 wise of all but she that dishonoureth him in her pride shall b* 
 counted ungodly of all

 27 A loud crying woman and a scotd shall be sought out to 
 drive away the enemies. 
 
 28 There be two things that grieve my heart; and the third 
 makcth me angry : a man of war that suffereth poverty ; and men 
 of understanding that are not set by; and one that retumeth from 
 righteousness to sin; the Lord prepareth such an one for the 
 sword. 
 
 29 A merchant shall hardly keep himself from doing wrong : 
 and an huckster shall not be freed from sin. 
 
 CHAPTER XXVII. 
 
 1 Of sins in selling and buying. 7 Our speech will tell what is in us 
 16 A friend is lost by discovering his secrets. 25 He that diggeth 
 a pit shall fall into it. 
 
 MANY have sinned for a small matter; and he that seeketh 
 for abundance will turn his eyes away. 
 
 2 As a nail sticketh fast between the joinings of the stones ; 
 so doth sin stick close between buying and selling. 
 
 3 Unless a man hold himself diligently in the fear of the Lord, 
 his house shall soon be overthrown. 
 
 4 As when one sifteth with a sieve, the refuse remaineth ; so 
 the filth of man in his talk. 
 
 5 The furnace proveth the potter's vessels ; so the trial of man 
 is in his reasoning. 
 
 6 The fruit declareth if the tree have been dressed : so is the 
 utterance of a conceit in the heart of man. 
 
 7 Praise no man before thou hearest him speak ; for this is 
 the trial of men. 
 
 8 If thou followest righteousness, thou shalt obtain her, and 
 put her on, as a glorious long robe. 
 
 9 The birds will resort unto their like ; so will truth return 
 unto them that practise in her. 
 
 10 As the lion lieth in wait for the prey ; so sin for them that 
 work iniquity. 
 
 11 The discourse of a godly man is always with wisdom ; but 
 a fool changeth as the moon. 
 
 12 If thou be among the indiscreet, observe the time ; but be 
 continually among men of understanding. 
 
 13 The discourse of fools is irksome, and their sport is in the 
 wantonness of sin. 
 
 14 The talk of him that sweareth much maketh the hair stand 
 upright ; and their brawls make one stop his ears. 
 
 15 The strife of the proud is blood-shedding, and their revil- 
 ings are grievous to the ear. 
 
 16 Whoso discovereth secrets loseth his credit; and shall never 
 find a friend to his mind. 
 
 17 Love thy friend, and be faithful unto him : but if thou be- 
 wrayest his secrets, follow no more after him. 
 
 18 For as a man hath destroyed his enemy; so hast thou lost 
 the love of thy neighbour. 
 
 19 As one that letteth a bird go out of his hand, so hast thou 
 let thy neighbour go, and shalt not get him again. 
 
 20 Follow after him no more, for he is too far off; he is as a 
 roe escaped out of the snare. 
 
 'M As for a wound, it may be bound up; and after reviling 
 th« re may be reconcilement : but he that bewrayeth secrets is 
 without hope. 
 
 22 He that winketh with the eyes worketh evil : and he that 
 knoweth him will depart from him. 
 
 23 When thou art present, he will speak sweetly, and will ad- 
 mire thy words : but at the last he will writhe his mouth, and 
 slander thy sayings. 
 
 24 I have hated many things, but nothing like him ; for the 
 Lord will hate him. 
 
 25 Whoso casteth a stone on high casteth it on his own head; 
 pd a deceitful stroke shall make wounds. 
 
 26 Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein : and he that setteth 
 trap shall be taken therein. 
 
 27 He that worketh mischief, it shall fall upon him, and he 
 r..»tll not know whence it cometh. 
 
 5 I 
 
 28 Mockery and reproach are from the proud ; but vengeance, 
 ! is a lion, shall lie in wait for them. 
 
 29 They that rejoice at the fall of the righteous shall be taken 
 in the snare ; and anguish shall consume them before they die 
 
 30 Malice and wrath, even these are abomination?; and the 
 sinful man shall have them both. 
 
 CHAPTER XXVIII. 
 
 1 Against revenge, 8 quarrelling, 10 anger, 15 and backbiting. 
 
 HE that revengeth shall find vengeance from the Lord, and be 
 will surely keep his sins [in remembrance.] 
 
 2 Forgive thy neighbour the hurt that he hath done unto thee, 
 so shall thy sins also he forgiven when thou prayest. 
 
 3 One man beareth hatred against another, and doth he seek 
 pardon from the Lord ? 
 
 4 He showeth no mercy to a man, which is like himself: aud 
 doth he ask forgiveness of his own sins ? 
 
 5 If he that is but flesh nourish hatred, who will entreat for 
 pardon of his sins? 
 
 6 Remember thy end, and let enmity cease; [remember] cor 
 ruption and death, and abide in the commandments. 
 
 7 Remember the commandments, and bear no malice to thy 
 neighbour : [remember] the covenant of the Highest, and wir.B 
 at ignorance. 
 
 8 Abstain from strife, and thou shalt diminish thy sins : for a 
 furious man will kindle strife. 
 
 9 A sinful man disquieteth friends, and maketh debate among 
 them that be at peace. 
 
 10 As the matter of the fire is, so it burnetii : and as a man's 
 strength is, so is his wrath ; and according to his riches his anger 
 riseth ; and the stronger they are which contend, the more they 
 will be inflamed. 
 
 11 A hasty contention kindleth a fire: and a hasty ughti-g 
 sheddeth blood. 
 
 12 If thou blow the spark it shall burn : if thou spit upoD it, 
 it shall be quenched : and both these come out of thy mouth. 
 
 13 Curse the whisperer and double-tongued : for such b-we 
 destroyed many that were at peace. 
 
 14 A backbiting tongue hath disquieted many, and dr> v en 
 them from nation to nation : strong cities hath it pullci O^wn, 
 and overthrown the houses of great men. 
 
 15 A backbiting tongue hath cast out virtuous wou»ek' and 
 deprived them of their labours. 
 
 16 Whoso hearkeneth unto it shall never find rest, aH lever 
 dwell quietly. 
 
 17 The stroke of the whip maketh marks in the flesh : fc-st the 
 stroke of the tongue breaketh the bones. 
 
 18 Many have fallen by the edge of the sword : but ~\>-t sr 
 many as have fallen by the tongue. 
 
 19 Well is he that is defended from it, and hath no* passed 
 through the venom thereof; who hath not drawn the yoko there- 
 of, nor hath been bound in her bands. 
 
 20 For the yoke thereof is a yoke of iron, and tb^ bandt 
 thereof are bands of brass. 
 
 21 The death thereof is an evil death, the grave wer^ better 
 than it. 
 
 22 It shall not have rule over them that fear God, neither 
 shall they be burned with the flame thereof. 
 
 23 Such as forsake the Lord shall fall into it ; and it shall 
 burn in them, and not be quenched ; it shall be sent upon them 
 as a lion, and devour them as a leopard. 
 
 24 Look that thou hedge thy possession about with thorns, 
 and bind up thy silver and gold : 
 
 25 And weigh thy words in a balance, and make a door and 
 bar for thy mouth. 
 
 26 Beware thou slide not by it, lest thou fall before him that 
 lieth in wait.

 CHAPTER XXIX. 
 
 I We must show mercy and lend : 4 but the borrower must not defraud 
 the lender. 9 Give alms. 14 A good man will not undo his surety. 
 18 To be surety, and undertake for others, is dangerous. 22 It ia 
 better to live at home than to sojourn. 
 
 HP] that is merciful will lend unto his neighbour: and he that 
 strengtheneth his hand keepeth the commandments. 
 
 2 Lend to thy neighbour in time of his need, and pay thou 
 by neighbour again in due season. 
 
 3 Keep thy word, and deal faithfully with him, and thou shalt 
 always fiud the thing that is necessary for thee. 
 
 4 Many, when a thing was lent them, reckoned it to be found, 
 and put them to trouble that helped them. 
 
 5 Till he hath received, he will kiss a man's hand; and for 
 his neighbour's money he will speak submissly : but when he 
 should repay, he will prolong the time, and return words of grief, 
 and complain of the time. 
 
 6 If he prevail, he shall hardly receive the half, and he will 
 count as if he had found it: if not, he hath deprived him of his 
 money, and he hath gotten him an enemy without cause : he 
 payeth him with cursings and railings; and for honour he will 
 pay him disgrace. 
 
 7 Many therefore have refused to lend for other men's ill deal- 
 ing, fearing to be defrauded. 
 
 8 Yet have thou patience with a man in poor estate and delay 
 not to show him mercy. 
 
 9 Help the poor for the commandment's sake, and turn him 
 not away because of his poverty. 
 
 1 Lose thy money for thy brother and thy friend, and let it 
 not rust under a stone to be lost. 
 
 1 1 Lay up thy treasure according to the commandments of 
 the Most High, and it shall bring thee more profit than gold. 
 
 12 Shut up alms in thy storehouses : and it shall deliver thee 
 from all affliction. 
 
 13 It shall fight for thee against thine enemies better than a 
 mighty shield and strong spear. 
 
 14 An honest man is surety for his neighbour : but he that 
 is impudent will forsake him. 
 
 15 Forget not the friendship of thy surety, for. he hath given 
 his life for thee. 
 
 16 A sinner will overthrow the good estate of his surety : 
 
 17 And he that is of an unthankful mind will leave him [in 
 danger] that delivered him. 
 
 18 Suretiship hath undone many of good estate, and shaken 
 them as a wave of the sea : mighty men hath it driven from their 
 houses, so that they wandered among strange nations. 
 
 19 A wicked man transgressing the commandments of the 
 Lord shall fall into suretiship : and he that undertaketh and fol- 
 loweth other men's business for gain shall fall into suits. 
 
 20 Help thy neighbour according to thy power, and beware 
 that thou thyself fall not into the same. 
 
 21 The chief thing for life is water, and bread, and clothing, 
 and an house to cover shame. 
 
 22 Better is the life of a poor man in a mean cottage, than 
 delicate fare in another man's house. 
 
 23 Be it little or much, hold thee contented, that thou hear 
 not the reproach of thy house 
 
 24 For it is a miserable life to go from house to house : for 
 where thou art a stranger, thou darest not open thy mouth. 
 
 25 Thou shalt entertain, and feast, and have no thanks : more- 
 over, thou shalt hear bitter words : 
 
 26 Come, thou stranger, and furnish a table, and feed me of 
 that thou hast ready. 
 
 27 Give place, thou stranger, to an honourable man; my 
 brother cometh to be lodged, and I have need of mine house. 
 
 28 These things are grievous to a man of understanding ; the 
 upbraiding of house-room, and reproaching of the lender

 CHAPTER XXX. 
 
 1 It is good to correct our children, 7 and not to cocker them. 14 
 Health is better than wealth, 22 Health and life are shortened by- 
 grief. 
 
 HE that loveth his son causeth him oft to feel the rod that he 
 may have joy of him in the end. 
 
 2 He that chastise th his son shall have joy in him, and shall 
 rejoice in him among his acquaintance. 
 
 3 He that teacheth his son grievclh the enemy : and befon 
 his friends he shall rejoice of him. 
 
 4 Though his father die, yet he is as though he were nol 
 dead : for he hath left one behind him that is like himself. 
 
 5 While he lived, he saw and rejoiced in him : and when he 
 died he was not sorrowful. 
 
 6 He left behind him an avenger against his enemies, and one 
 that shall requite kindness to his friends. 
 
 7 He that maketh too much of his son shall bind up hL 
 wounds ; and his bowels will be troubled at every cry. 
 
 8 An horse not broken becomcth headstrong : and a child left 
 to himself will be wilful. 
 
 9 Cocker thy child, and he shall make thee afraid : play with 
 him, and he will bring thee to heaviness. 
 
 10 Laugh not with him, lest thou have sorrow with mm, and 
 lest thou gnash thy teeth in the end. 
 
 11 Give him no liberty in his youth, and wink not at his 
 follies. 
 
 12 Bow down his neck while he is young, and beat him on 
 the sides while he is a child, lest he wax stubborn, and be dis- 
 obedient unto thee, and so bring sorrow to thine heart. 
 
 13 Chastise thy son, and hold him to labour, lest his lewd be- 
 haviour be an offence unto thee. 
 
 14 Better is the poor, being sound and strong of constitution, 
 than a rich man that is afflicted in his body. 
 
 15 Health and good estate of body are above all gold, and a 
 strong body above infinite wealth. 
 
 16 There is no riches above a sound body, and no joy abo w e 
 the joy of the heart. 
 
 17 Death is better than a bitter life or continual sickness. 
 
 18 Delicates poured upon a mouth shut up, are as messes of 
 meat set upon a grave. 
 
 19 What good doeth the offering unto an idol? for neither 
 can it eat nor smell : so is he that is persecuted of the Lord. 
 
 20 He seeth with his eyes and groaneth, as an eunuch that 
 embraceth a virgin and sigheth. 
 
 21 Give not aver thy mind to heaviness, and afflict not thy- 
 self in thine own counsel. 
 
 22 The gladness of the heart is the life of man, and the joy- 
 fulness of a man prolongeth his days. 
 
 23 Love thine own soul, and comfort thy heart, remove sor 
 row far from thee : for sorrow hath killed many, and there is no 
 profit therein. 
 
 24 Envy and wrath shorten the life, and carefulness bringeth 
 age before the time. 
 
 25 A cheerful and good heart will have a care of his meat an ■) 
 diet. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXI. 
 
 1 Of the desire of riches. 12 Of moderation and excess in eating, .i 
 
 drinking wine. 
 
 TT7ATCHING for riches consumeth the flesh, and the care 
 VV thereof driveth away sleep. 
 
 2 Watching care will not let a man slumber, as a sore disease 
 breaketh sleep. 
 
 3 The rich hath great labour in gathering riches together; 
 and when he resteth, he is filled with his delicates. 
 
 4 The poor laboureth in his poor estate; and when heleavetb 
 off, he is still needy. 
 
 5 He that loveth gold shall not be justified, and he that fol 
 loweth corruption shall have enough thereof. 
 
 6 Gold hath been the ruin of many, and their destruction was 
 present.

 7 It is a stumbling-block unto them that sacrifice unto it, and 
 every fool shall be taken therewith. 
 
 8 Blessed is the rich that is found without blemish, and hatli 
 not gone after gold. 
 
 9 Who is he? and we will call him blessed: for wonderful 
 things hath he done among his people. 
 
 10 Who hath been tried thereby, and found perfect? then let 
 him glory. Who might offend, and hath not offended ? or done 
 evil, and hath not doue it? 
 
 11 His goods shall be established, and the congregation shall 
 declare his alms. 
 
 12 If thou sit at a bountiful table, be not greedy upon it, and 
 6ay not, There is much meat on it. 
 
 13 llemember that a wicked eye is an evil thing : and what 
 is created more wicked than an eye ? therefore it weepeth upon 
 every occasion. 
 
 1-1 Stretch not thine hand whithersoever it lookcth, and thrust 
 it not with him into the dish. 
 
 15 Judge of thy neighbour by thyself: and be discreet in 
 every point. 
 
 16 Eat, as it becometh a man, those things which are set be- 
 fore thee ; aud devour not, lest thou be hated. 
 
 17 Leave off first for manners' sake, r and be not unsatiable, 
 lest thou offend. 
 
 18 When thou sittest among many, reach not thine hand out 
 first of all. 
 
 19 A very little is sufficient for a man well-nurtured, and he 
 fetchcth not his wind short upon his bed. 
 
 20 Sound sleep cometh of moderate eating : he riseth early, 
 and his wits are with him : but the pain of watching, and choler, 
 and pangs of the belly, are with an unsatiable man. 
 
 21 And if thou hast been forced to eat, arise, go forth, vomit, 
 and thou shalt have rest. 
 
 22 My son, hear me, and despise me not, and at the last thou 
 shalt find as I told thee : in all thy works be quick, so shall there 
 no sickness come uuto thee. 
 
 23 Whoso is liberal of his meat, men shall speak well of him ; 
 and the report of his good house-keeping will be believed. 
 
 24 But against him that is a niggard of his meat the whole 
 city shall murmur; and the testimonies of his niggardness shall 
 not be doubted of. 
 
 25 Show not thy valiantness in wine ; for wine hath destroyed 
 many. 
 
 26 The furnace proveth the edge by dipping : so doth wine 
 the hearts of the proud by drunkenness. 
 
 27 Wine is as good as life to a man, if it be drunk moderately : 
 what i3 life then to a man that is without wine ? for it was made 
 to make men glad. 
 
 28 Wine measureably drunk and in season, bringeth gladness 
 Df the heart, and cheerfulness of the mind : 
 
 29 But wine drunken with excess maketh bitterness of the 
 mind, with brawling and quarrelling. 
 
 30 Drunkenness increascth the rage of a fool till he offend : it 
 diminisheth strength, and maketh wounds. 
 
 31 Rebuke not thy neighbour at the wine, and despise him 
 not in his mirth : give him no despiteful words, and press not 
 upon him with urging him [to drink.] 
 
 CHAPTER XXXII. 
 
 1 Of his duty that is chief or master in a feast. 14 Of the fear of 
 God. 18 Of counsel. 20 Of a rugged aud smooth way. 23 Trust 
 not to any but to thyself, and to God. 
 
 IF thou be made the master [of a feast,] lift not thyself up, but 
 be among them v as one of the rest, take diligent care for them, 
 and so sit down. 
 
 2 And when thou hast done all thy office, take thy place, that 
 thou mayest be merry with them, and receive a crown for thy 
 well-ordering of the feast. 
 
 3 Speak, thou that art the elder, for it becometh thee, but 
 with sound judgment; and hinder not music 
 
 E 
 
 4 Pour not out words where there is a musician, and show not 
 forth wisdom out of time. 
 
 5 A concert of music in a banquet of wine is as a signet of 
 carbuncle set in gold. 
 
 6 As a signet of an emerald set in a work of gold, so Is the 
 melody of music witli pleasant wine. 
 
 7 Speak, young man, if there be need of thee : and yet scarcely 
 when thou art twice asked. 
 
 8 Let thy speech be short, comprehending much in few words, 
 be as one that knoweth and yet holdeth his tongue. 
 
 9 If thou be among great men, make not thyself equal with 
 them; and when ancient men are in place, use not many words. 
 
 10 Before the thunder gocth lightning; and before a shame- 
 faced man shall go favour. 
 
 11 Rise up betimes, and be not the last; but get thee home 
 without delay. 
 
 12 There take thy pastime, and do what thou wilt : but ein 
 not by proud speech. 
 
 13 And for these things bless him that made thee, and hath 
 replenished thee with his good things. 
 
 14 Whoso feareth the Lord will receive his discipline; and 
 they that seek him early shall find favour. 
 
 15 He that seeketh the law shall be filled therewith : but the 
 hypocrite will be offended thereat. 
 
 16 They that fear the Lord shall find judgment, and shall 
 kindle justice as a light. 
 
 17 A sinful man will not be reproved, but fmdeth an excuse 
 according to his will. 
 
 18 A man of counsel will be considerate; but a strange and 
 proud man is not daunted with fear, even when of himself he 
 hath done without counsel. 
 
 19 Do nothing without advice ; and when thou hast once done, 
 repent not. 
 
 20 Go not in a way wherein thou mayest fall, and stumble 
 not among the stones. 
 
 21 Be not confident in a plain way. 
 
 22 And beware of thine own children. 
 
 23 In every good work trust thy own soul; for this is the 
 keeping of the commandments. 
 
 24 He that belicveth in the Lord taketh heed to the com- 
 mandment; and he that trusteth in him shall fare never the 
 worse. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXIII. 
 
 1 The safety of him that feareth the Lord. 2 The wise and the fool- 
 ish. 7 Times and seasons are of God. 10 Men are in his hands as 
 clay in the hands of the potter. 19 Chiefly regard thyselt. 24 Of 
 servants. 
 
 rrHERE shall no evil happen unto him that feareth the Lord; 
 -I but in temptation even again he will deliver him. 
 
 2 A wise man hateth not the law; but he that is a hypocrite 
 therein is as a ship in a storm. 
 
 3 A man of understanding trusteth in the law; and the law 
 is faithful unto him, as an oracle. 
 
 4 Prepare what to say, and so thou shalt be heard : and bind 
 up instruction, and then make answer. 
 
 5 The heart of the foolish is like a cart-wheel ; and his 
 thoughts are like a rolling axle-tree. 
 
 6 A stallion horse is as a mocking friend, he neigheth ucder 
 every one that sitteth upon him. 
 
 7 Why doth one day excel another, when as all the light of 
 every day in the year is of the sun ? 
 
 8 By the knowledge of the Lord they were distinguished : aud 
 he altered seasons and feasts. 
 
 9 Some of them hath he made high days, and hallowed them 
 and some of them hath he made ordinary days. 
 
 10 Aud all men are from the ground, and Adam was weated 
 of earth. 
 
 11 In much knowledge the Lord hath divided them, aD<J 
 made their ways diverse.

 12 Sonic (if them hath lie blessed and exalted, and some of 
 them hath lie sanctified, and set near himself: but some of them 
 hath he cursed and brought low, and turned out of their places. 
 
 18 As the clay is in the potter's hand, to fashion it at his 
 pleasure ; so man is in the hand of him that made him, to render 
 to them as liketh him best. 
 
 14 Good is set against evil, and life against death : so is the 
 godly against the sinner, and the sinner against the godly. 
 
 15 So look upon all the works of the Most High ; and there 
 ire two and two, one against another. 
 
 16 I awaked up last of all, as one that gathereth after the 
 grape-gatherers : by the blessing of the Lord I profited, and filled 
 my wine-press like a gatherer of grapes. 
 
 17 Consider that I laboured not for myself only, but for all 
 them that seek learning. 
 
 18 Hear me, ye great men of the people, and hearken with 
 your ears, ye rulers of the congregation. 
 
 19 Give not thy son and wife, thy brother and friend, power 
 over thee while thou livest, and give not thy goods to another : 
 lest it repent thee, and thou entreat for the same again. 
 
 20 As long as thou livest and hast breath in thee, give not 
 thyself over to any. 
 
 21 For better it is that thy children should seek to thee, than 
 that thou shouldest stand to their courtesy. 
 
 22 In all thy works keep to thyself the pre-eminence ; leave 
 not a stain iu thine honour. 
 
 23 At the time when thou shalt end thy days, and finish thy 
 life, distribute thine inheritance. 
 
 24 Fodder, a wand, and burdens, are for the ass ; and bread, 
 correction, and work, for a servant. 
 
 25 If thou set thy servant to labour, thou shalt find rest : but 
 if thou let him go idle, he shall seek liberty. 
 
 26 A yoke and a collar do bow the neck : so are tortures and 
 torments for an evil servant. 
 
 27 Send him to labour, that he be not idle; for idleness 
 teacheth much evil. 
 
 28 Set him to work, as is fit for him : if he be not obedient, 
 put on more heavy fetters. 
 
 29 But be not excessive towards any ; and without discretion 
 do nothing. 
 
 30 If thou have a servant, let him be unto thee as thyself, 
 Deeause thou hast bought him with a price. 
 
 31 If thou have a servant, entreat him as a brother: for thou 
 hast need of him, as of thine own soul : if thou entreat him evil, 
 and he run from thee, which way wilt thou go to seek him ? 
 
 CHAPTER XXXIV. 
 
 1 Of dreams. 13 The praise and blessing of them that fear the Lord. 
 18 The offering of the ancient, and prayer of the poor innocent. 
 
 r PHE hopes of a man void of understanding are vain and false : 
 -L and dreams lift up fools. 
 
 2 Whoso regardeth dreams is like him that catcheth at a 
 hadow, and followeth after the wind. 
 
 3 The vision of dreams is the resemblance of one thing to 
 uother, even as the likeness of a face to a face. 
 
 4 Of an unclean thing what can be cleansed ? and from that 
 thing which is false what truth can come? 
 
 5 Divinations, and soothsayings, and dreams, are vain : and 
 the heart fancieth, as a woman's heart in travail. 
 
 6 If they be not sent from the Most High in thy visitation, 
 set not thy heart upon them. 
 
 7 For dreams have deceived many, and they have failed that 
 put their trust in them. 
 
 8 The law shall be found perfect without lies : and wisdom is 
 perfection to a faithful mouth. 
 
 9 A man that hath travelled knoweth many things; and he 
 that hath much experience will declare wisdom. 
 
 10 He that hath no experience knoweth little : but he that 
 fcath travelled is full of prudence. 
 
 68 
 
 11 When I travelled, I saw many things; and I understood 
 more than I can express. 
 
 12 I was oft-times in danger of death : yet I was delivered 
 because of these things. 
 
 13 The spirit of those that fear the Lord shall live : for their 
 hope is in him that saveth them. 
 
 14 Whoso feareth the Lord shall not fear nor be afraid : f;r 
 he is his hope. 
 
 15 Blessed is the soul of him that feareth the Lord : to ^hcn 
 doth he look ? and who is his strength ? 
 
 16 For the eyes of the Lord are upon them that love him, he 
 is their mighty protection and strong stay, a defence from heat, 
 and a cover from the sun at noon, a preservation from stumbling, 
 and an help from falling. 
 
 17 He raiseth up the soul, and lighteneth the eyes : he giveth 
 health, life, and blessing. 
 
 18 He that sacrificeth of a thing wrongfully gotten, his offer- 
 ing is ridiculous; and the gifts of unjust men are not accepted. 
 
 19 The Most High is not pleased with the offerings of the 
 wicked ; neither is he pacified for sin by the multitude of sacri- 
 fices. 
 
 20 Whoso bringeth an offering of the goods of the poor, doeth 
 as one that killeth the son before his father's eyes. 
 
 21 The bread of the needy is their life : he that defraudeth 
 him thereof is a man of blood. 
 
 22 He that taketh away his neighbour's living slayeth him; 
 and he that defraudeth the labourer of his hire is a blood-shedder. 
 
 23 When one buildeth, and another pulleth down, what profit 
 have they then but labour ? 
 
 24 When one prayeth, and another curseth, whose voice will 
 the Lord hear ? 
 
 25 He that wasbeth himself after the touching of a dead body, 
 if he touch it again, what availeth his washing ? 
 
 26 So it is with a man that fasteth for his sins, and goeth 
 again, and doeth the same : who will hear his prayer ? or wha* 
 doth his humbling profit him ? 
 
 CHAPTER XXXV. 
 
 1 Sacrifices pleasing to God. 14 The prayer of the fatherless, of the 
 widow, and of the humble in spirit. 20 Acceptable mercy. 
 
 HE that keepeth the law bringeth offerings enough : he that 
 taketh heed to the commandment offereth a peace-offering. 
 
 2 He that requiteth a good turn offereth fine flour ; and he 
 that giveth alms sacrificeth praise. 
 
 3 To depart from wickedness is a thing pleasing to the Lord ; 
 and to forsake unrighteousness is a propitiation. 
 
 4 Thou shalt not appear empty before the Lord. 
 
 5 For all these things [are to be done] because of the com- 
 mandment. 
 
 6 The offering of the righteous maketh the altar fat and the 
 sweet savour thereof is before the Most High. 
 
 7 The sacrifice of a just man is acceptable, and the memorial 
 thereof shall never be forgotten. 
 
 8 Give the Lord his honour with a good eye, and diminish no* 
 the first-fruits of thine hands. 
 
 9 In all thy gifts show a cheerful countenance, and dedicate 
 thy tithes with gladness. 
 
 10 Give unto the Most High according as he hath enriJieJ 
 thee ; and as thou hast gotten, give with a cheerful eye. 
 
 11 For the Lord recompenseth, and will give thee seven times 
 as much. 
 
 12 Do not think to corrupt with gifts; for such he will not 
 receive : and trust not to unrighteous sacrifices ; for the Lord is 
 judge, and with him is no respect of persons. 
 
 13 He will not accept any person against a poor man, but will 
 hear the prayer of the oppressed. 
 
 14 He will not despise the supplication of the fatlicrless: nor 
 the widow, when she poureth out her complaints. 
 
 15 Do not the tears run down the widow's cheeks ? and is not 
 her 'jry against him that causeth them to fall?

 10 He that serveth the Lord shall be accepted with favour, 
 and his prayer shall reach unto the clouds. 
 
 17 The prayer of the humble pierceth the clouds : and till it 
 come nigh, he will not be comforted ; and will not depart, till 
 the Most High shall behold to judge righteously, and execute 
 judgment. 
 
 18 For the Lord will not be slack, neither will the Mighty be 
 patient towards them, till he have smitten in sunder the loins of 
 the unmerciful, and repaid vengeance to the heathen ; till he 
 have taken away the multitude of the proud, and broken the 
 sceptre of the unrighteous; 
 
 19 Till he have rendered to every man according to his deeds, 
 and to the works of men according to their devices ; till he have 
 judged the cause of his people, and made them to rejoice in his 
 mercy. 
 
 20 Mercy is seasonable in the time of affliction, as clouds of 
 rain in the time of drought. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXVI. 
 
 1 A prayer for the church against the enemies thereof. 18 A good 
 heart and a fro ward. 21 Of a good wife. 
 
 HAVE mercy upon us, Lord God of all, and behold us : 
 2 And send thy fear upon all the nations that seek not 
 after thee. 
 
 3 Lift up thy hand against the strange nations, and let them 
 see thy power. 
 
 4 As thou wast sanctified in us before them : so be thou mag- 
 nified among them before us. 
 
 5 And let them know thee, as we have known thee, that there 
 is no God but only thou, God. 
 
 6 Show new signs, and make other strange wonders : glorify 
 thy hand and thy right arm, that they may set forth thy won- 
 drous works. 
 
 7 Raise up indignation, and pour out wrath : take away the 
 adversary, and destroy the enemy. 
 
 8 Make the time short, remember the covenant, and let them 
 declare thy wonderful works. 
 
 9 Let him that escapeth be consumed by the rage of the fire; 
 and let them perish that oppress the people. 
 
 10 Smite in sunder the heads of the rulers of the heathen, 
 that say, There is none other but we. 
 
 11 Gather all the tribes of Jacob togethei - , and inherit thou 
 them, as from the beginning. 
 
 12 Lord, have mercy upon the people that is called by thy 
 ^ame, and upon Israel, whom thou hast named thy first-born. 
 
 13 be merciful unto Jerusalem, thy holy city, the place of 
 thy rest. 
 
 14 Fill Sion with thine unspeakable oracles, and thy people 
 with thy glory. 
 
 15 Give testimony unto those that thou hast possessed from 
 the beginning, and raise up prophets that have been in thy name. 
 
 16 Reward them that wait for thee, and let thy prophets be 
 found faithful. 
 
 17 O Lord, hear the prayer of thy servants, according to the 
 blessing of Aaron over thy people, that all they which dwell 
 ipon the earth may know that thou art the Lord, the eternal God. 
 
 18 The belly devoureth all meats, yet is one meat better than 
 another. 
 
 19 As the palate tasteth divers kinds of venison, so doth an 
 neart of understanding false speeches. 
 
 20 A froward heart causeth heaviness : but a man of experi- 
 "nce will recompense him. 
 
 21 A woman will receive every man, yet is one daughter better 
 .J.an another. 
 
 22 The beauty of a woman cheereth the countenance, and a 
 man loveth nothing better. 
 
 23 If there be kindness, meekness, and comfort ia her tongue, 
 then is not her husband like other men. 
 
 l-t He that getteth a wife, beginneth a possession, a help like 
 unto himself, and a pillar of rest. 
 
 25 Where no hedge is, there the possession is spoiled : and he 
 that hath no wife will wander up and down mourning. 
 
 26 Who will trust a thief well appointed, that skippcth from 
 city to city ? so [who will believe] a man that hath no house, and 
 lodgeth wheresoever the night takcth him? 
 
 CHAPTER XXXVII. 
 
 1 How to know friends and counsellors. 12 The discretion and wisdein 
 of a godly man blesseth him. 27 Learn to refrain thine appetite. 
 
 EVERY friend saith, I am his friend also, but there is a friend 
 which is only a friend in name. 
 
 2 Is it not a grief unto death, when a companion and friend 
 is turned to an enemy ? 
 
 3 wicked imagination, whence earnest thou in to cover the 
 earth with deceit? 
 
 4 There is a companion, which rejoiceth in the prosperity or 
 a friend, but in the time of trouble will be against him. 
 
 5 There is a companion, which helpeth his friend for the be.ly, 
 and taketh up the buckler against the enemy. 
 
 6 Forget not thy friend in thy mind, and be not unmindful cf 
 him in thy riches. 
 
 7 Every counsellor extolleth counsel; but there is some that 
 couuselleth for himself. 
 
 8 Beware of a counsellor, and know before what need he hath ; 
 for he will counsel for himself; lest he cast the lot upon thee, 
 
 9 And say unto thee, Thy way is good : and afterward he 
 stand on the other side, to see what shall befall thee. 
 
 10 Consult not with one that suspeeteth thee : and hide thy 
 counsel from such as envy thee. 
 
 11 Neither consult with a woman touching her of whom she 
 is jealous; neither with a coward in matters of war; nor with a 
 merchant concerning exchange; nor with a buyer of selling ; nor 
 with an envious man of thankfulness; nor with an unmerciful 
 man touching kindness ; nor with the slothful for any work ; nor 
 with an hireling for a year of finishing work ; nor with an idle 
 servant of much business : hearken not unto these in any matter 
 of counsel. 
 
 12 But be continually with a godly man, whom thou knowest 
 to keep the commandments of the Lord, whose mind is according 
 to thy mind, and will sorrow with thee, if thou shalt miscarry. 
 
 13 And let the counsel of thine own heart stand : for there is 
 no man more faithful unto thee than it 
 
 14 For a man's mind is sometimes wont to tell him more than 
 seven watchmen, that sit above in a high tower. 
 
 15 And above all this pray to the Most High, that he will 
 direct thy way in truth. 
 
 16 Let reason go before every enterprise, and counsel beforo 
 every action. 
 
 17 The countenance is a sign of changing of the heart. 
 
 18 Four manner of things appear : good and evil, life and 
 death : but the tongue ruleth over them continually. 
 
 19 There is one that is wise and teachcth many, and yet is 
 unprofitable to himself. 
 
 20 There is one that showeth wisdom in words, and is hated : 
 he shall be destitute of all food. 
 
 21 For grace is not given him from the Lord ; because he ii 
 deprived of all wisdom. 
 
 22 Another is. wise to himself; and the fruits of understanding 
 are commendable in his mouth. 
 
 23 A wise man instructeth his people ; and the fruits of hi* 
 understanding fail not. 
 
 24 A wise man shall be filled with blessing ; and all they that 
 see him shall count him happy. 
 
 25 The days of the life of man may be numbered : but th» 
 days of Israel are innumerable. 
 
 26 A wise man shall inherit glory among hi3 people, and his 
 name shall be perpetual. 
 
 27 My son, prove thy soul in thy life, and see what is evil for 
 it, and give not that unto it. 
 
 28 For all things are not profitable for all men, neither hair 
 every soul pleasure in every thing. •

 CHAPTER XXXVIII. 
 
 Honour due to the physician, and "why. 10 How to weep and mourn 
 for the dead. 24 The wisdom of the learned man, and of the la- 
 bourer and artificer : with the use of them both. 
 
 HONOUR a physician with the honour due unto him for the 
 uses which ye may have of him : for the Lord hath created 
 him. 
 
 2 For of the Most High cometh healing, and be shall receive- 
 honour of the king. 
 
 3 The skill of the physician shall lift up his head : and in the 
 si<rht of great men he shall be in admiration. 
 
 4 The Lord hath created medicines out of the earth ; and he 
 that is wise will not abhor them. 
 
 5 Was not the water made sweet with wood, that the virtue 
 thereof might be known ? 
 
 6 And he hath given men skill, that he might be honoured in 
 his marvellous works. 
 
 7 With such doth he heal [men,] and taketh away their pans. 
 S Of such doth the apothecary make a confection ; and of his 
 
 works there is no end; and from him is peace over all the earth. 
 
 9 My son, in thy sickness be not negligent: but pray unto 
 the Lord, and he will make thee whole. 
 
 10 Leave off from sin, and order thine hands aright, and 
 cleanse thy heart from all wickedness. 
 
 11 Give a sweet savour, and a memorial of fine flour; and 
 make a fat offering, as not being. 
 
 12 Then give place to the physician, for the Lord hath created 
 him : let him not go from thee, for thou hast need of him. 
 
 13 There is a time when in their hands there is good success. 
 
 14 For they shall also pray unto the Lord, that he would 
 prosper that which they give for ease and remedy to prolong life. 
 
 15 He that sinneth before his Maker, let him fall into the 
 hand of the physician. 
 
 16 My son, let tears fall down over the dead, and begin to 
 lament, as if thou hadst suffered great harm thyself; and then 
 cover bis body according to the custom, and neglect not his 
 burial. 
 
 17 Weep bitterly, and make great moan, and use lamentation, 
 as he is worthy, and that a day or two, lest thou be evil spoken 
 of : and then comfort thyself for thy heaviness. 
 
 18 For of heaviness cometh death, and the heaviness of the 
 heart breaketh strength. 
 
 19 In affliction also sorrow remaineth : and the life of the poor 
 is the curse of the heart. 
 
 20 Take no heaviness to heart : drive it away, and remember 
 *he last end. 
 
 21 Forget it not, for there is no turning again : thou shalt not 
 r him gocd, but hurt thyself. 
 
 22 Remember my judgment: for thine also shall be so; yes- 
 .e^day for me, and to-day for thee. 
 
 23 When the dead is at rest, let his remembrance rest; and 
 be comforted for him, when his spirit is departed from him. 
 
 24 The wisdom of a learned man cometh by opportunity of 
 leisure : and he that hath little business shall become wise. 
 
 25 How can he get wisdom that holdeth the plow, and that 
 glorieth in the goad, that driveth oxen, and is occupied in their 
 labours, and whose talk is of bullocks ? 
 
 26 He giveth his mind to make furrows; and is diligent to 
 give the kine fodder. 
 
 27 So every carpenter and workmaster, that laboureth night 
 and day: and they that cut and grave seals, and are diligent to 
 make gr,eat variety, and give themselves to counterfeit imagery, 
 und watch to finish a work : 
 
 70 
 
 28 The smith also sitting by the anvil, and considering tho 
 iron work, the vapour of the fire wasteth bis flesh, and he fight- 
 eth with the heat of the furnace: the noise of the hammer and 
 the anvil is ever in his ears, and his eyes look still upon the 
 pattern of the thing that be maketh ; he setteth his mind to 
 finish bis work, and watched to polish it perfectly : 
 
 29 So doth the potter sitting at his work, and turnirg tb<? 
 wheel about with bis feet, who is always carefully set at his work,, 
 and maketh all his work by number ; 
 
 30 He fashioneth the clay with his arm, and boweth down bis 
 strength before his feet; he applieth himself to lead it over; and 
 be is diligent to make clean the furnace : 
 
 31 All these trust to their hands: and every one is wise in 
 his work. 
 
 32 Without these cannot a city be inhabited : and they shall 
 not dwell where they will, nor go up and down. 
 
 33 They shall not be sought for iu public council, nor sit high 
 in the congregation : they shall not sit on the judges' seat, noi 
 understand the sentence of judgment : they cannot declare justice 
 and judgment ; and they shall not be found where parables ara 
 spoken. 
 
 34 But they will maintain the state of the world, and [all] 
 their desire is in the work of their craft. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXIX. 
 
 1 A description of him that is truly wise. 12 An exhortation to praise 
 God for his works : which are good to the good, and evil to them 
 that are evil. 
 
 BUT be that giveth his mind to the law of the Most High, and 
 is occupied in the meditation thereof, will seek out the wis- 
 dom of all the ancient, and be occupied in prophecies. 
 
 2 He will keep the sayings of the renowned men : and where 
 subtil parables are, be will be there also. 
 
 3 He will seek out the secrets of grave sentences, and be con- 
 versant in dark parables. 
 
 4 He shall serve among great men, and appear before princes 
 be will travel through strange countries; for he hath tried thn 
 good and the evil among men. 
 
 5 He will give his heart to resort early to the Lord that made 
 him, and will pray before the Most High, and will open hip 
 mouth in prayer, and make supplication for his sins. 
 
 6 When the great Lord will, he shall be filled with the spint 
 of understanding: be shall pour out wise sentences, and gi\<a 
 thanks unto the Lord in bis prayer. 
 
 7 He shall direct his counsel and knowledge, and in his secrtts 
 shall he meditate. 
 
 8 He shall show forth that which he hath learned, and sL\l! 
 glory in the law of the covenant of the Lord. 
 
 9 Many shall commend his understanding; and so long as the 
 world endureth, it shall not be blotted out; his memorial sha'l 
 not depart away, and his name shall live from generation to gen- 
 eration. 
 
 10 Nations shall show forth his wisdom, and the congregation 
 shall declare bis praise. 
 
 11 If he die, he shall leave a greater name than a thousaL<i, 
 and if he live, he shall increase it. 
 
 12 Yet have I more to say, which I have thought upon; for 
 I am filled as the moon at the full. 
 
 13 Hearken unto me, ye holy children, and bud forth as a 
 rose growing by the brook of the field : 
 
 14 And give ye a sweet savour as frankincense, and flourish 
 as a lily, send forth a smell, and sing a song of praise, bless the 
 Lord in all his works. 
 
 15 Magnify his name, and show forth his praise with the songs 
 of your lips, and with harps, and in praising him ye shall say 
 after this manner: 
 
 16 All the works of the Lord are exceeding good, and what 
 soever he commandeth shall be accom[ilishrd in due season. 
 
 17 And none may say, What is this? wherefore is thai ? foi 
 at time convenient they shall all be sought out: at his command 
 
a poorypixa.

 oient the waters stood as an heap, and at the words of his mouth 
 the reeeptacles of waters. 
 
 18 At his commandment is done whatsoever pleascth him; 
 and none can hinder, when he will save. 
 
 19 The works of all flesh are before him, and nothing can be 
 hid from his eyes. # 
 
 20 He seeth from everlasting to everlasting ; and there is 
 nothing wonderful before him. 
 
 21 A man need not to say, What is this? wherefore is that? 
 for he hath made all things for their uses. 
 
 22 His blessing covered the dry laud as a river, and watered 
 it as a flood. 
 
 23 As he hath turned the waters into saltness : so shall the 
 heathen inherit his wrath. 
 
 24 As his ways are plain unto the holy; so are they stumbling- 
 blocks unto the wicked. 
 
 25 For the good are good things created from the beginning: 
 so evil things for sinners. 
 
 26 The principal things for the whole use of man's life are 
 water, fire, iron, and salt, flour of wheat, honey, milk, and the 
 blood of the grape, and oil, and clothing. 
 
 27 All these things are for good to the godly : so to the sin- 
 ners they are turned into evil. 
 
 28 There be spirits that are created for vengeance, which in 
 their fury lay on sore strokes; in the time of destruction they 
 pour out their force, and appease the wrath of him that made 
 them. 
 
 29 Fire, and hail, and famine, and death, all these were crea- 
 ted for vengeance; 
 
 30 Teeth of wild beasts, and scorpions, serpents, and the sword, 
 punishing the wicked to destruction. 
 
 31 They shall rejoice in his commandment, and they shall be 
 ready upon earth, when need is; and when their time is come, 
 they shall not transgress his word. 
 
 32 Therefore from the beginning I was resolved, and thought 
 upon these things, and have left them in writing. 
 
 33 All the works of the Lord are good : and he will give every 
 needful thing in due season. 
 
 34 So that a man cannot say, This is worse than that: for in 
 time they shall all be well approved. 
 
 35 And therefore praise ye the Lord with the whole heart and 
 mouth, and bless the name of the Lord. 
 
 CHAPTER XL. 
 
 1 Many miseries in a man's life. 12 The reward of unrighteousness 
 and the fruit of true dealing. 17 A virtuous wife, and an honest 
 friend, rejoice the heart, but the fear of the Lord is above all. 28 
 A beggar's life is hateful. 
 
 G\ REAT travail is created for every man, and a heavy yoke is 
 r upon the sons of Adam, from the day that they go out of 
 their mother's womb, till the day that they return to the mother 
 of all things. 
 
 2 Their imagination of things to come, and the day of death, 
 [trouble] their thoughts, and [cause] fear of heart; 
 
 3 From him that sitteth on a throne of glory, unto him that 
 is humbled in earth and ashes; 
 
 4 From him that weareth purple and a crown, unto him that 
 is clothed with a linen frock. 
 
 5 Wrath, and envy, trouble, and unquietness, fear of death, 
 and anger, and strife, and in the time of rest upon his bed, his 
 night-sleep, do change his knowledge. 
 
 6 A little or nothing is his rest, and afterward he is in his 
 sleep, as in a day of keeping watch, troubled in the vision of his 
 heart, as if he were escaped out of a battle. 
 
 7 When all is safe, he awaketh, and marvelleth that the fear 
 was nothing. 
 
 8 [Such things happen] unto all flesh, both man and beast, 
 and that is seven-fold more upon sinners. 
 
 iJ Death, and bloodshed, strife, and sword, calamities, famine, 
 tribulation, and the scourge; 
 
 10 These things arc created for the wicked, and for their sake* 
 came the flood. 
 
 11 All things that are of the earth shall turn to the earth 
 again: and that which is of the waters doth return into the - a 
 
 12 All bribery and injustice shall be blotted out: but tr:i« 
 dealing shall endure for ever. 
 
 13 The goods of the unjust shall be dried up like a river, and 
 shall vanish with noise, like a great thunder in rain. 
 
 14 While he opencth his hand he shall rejoice: so shall trans- 
 gressors come to nought. 
 
 15 The children of the ungodly shall not bring forth many 
 branches : but are as unclean roots upon a hard rock. 
 
 1G The weed growing upon every water and bank of a river) 
 shall be pulled up before all grass. 
 
 17 Bountifulness is as a most fruitful garden, and merciful 
 ness endureth for ever. 
 
 18 To labour, and to be content with that a man hath, is a 
 sweet life : but he that findcth a treasure is above them both. 
 
 19 Children and the building of a city continue a man's name : 
 but a blameless wife is counted above them both. 
 
 20 Wine and music rejoice the heart : but the love of wisdom 
 is above them both. 
 
 21 The pipe and the psaltery make sweet melody: but a 
 pleasant tongue is above them both. 
 
 22 Thine eye desireth favour and beauty : but more than 
 both, corn while it is green. 
 
 23 A friend and companion never meet amiss : but above both 
 is a wife with her husband. 
 
 24 Brethren and help are against time of trouble : but alui3 
 shall deliver more than them both. 
 
 25 Gold and silver make the foot stand sure : but counsel is 
 esteemed above them both. 
 
 20 Riches and strength lift up the heart: but the fear of the 
 Lord is above them both : there is no want in the fear of the 
 Lord, and it needeth not to seek help. 
 
 27 The fear of the Lord is a fruitful garden, and covereth him 
 above all glory. 
 
 28 My son, lead not a beggar's life ; for better it is to die than 
 to beg. 
 
 29 The life of him that dependeth on another man's table is 
 not to be counted for a life; for he polluteth himself with other 
 men's meat: but a wise man well nurtured will beware thereof 
 
 30 Begging is sweet in the mouth of the shameless : but in 
 his belly there shall burn a fire. 
 
 CHAPTER XLI. 
 
 1 The remembrance of death. 3 Death is not to be feared. G 1. -• 
 ungodly shall be accursed. 11- Of an evil and a good name. 1 -J 
 Wisdom is to be uttered. 16 Of what things we should be ashamed. 
 
 DEATH, how bitter is the remembrance of thee to a man 
 that liveth at rest in his possessions, unto the man that hath 
 nothing to vex him, and that hath prosperity in all things: yra, 
 unto him that is yet able to receive meat ! 
 
 2 O death, acceptable is thy sentence unto the needy, and 
 unto him whose strength faileth, that is now in the last age, and 
 is vexed with all things, and to him that despaireth, and hath 
 lost patience! 
 
 3 Fear not the sentence of death, remember them ihat have 
 been before thee, and that come after: for this is the sentence cf 
 the Lord over all flesh. 
 
 4 And why art thou against the pleasure of the Must High ? 
 there is no inquisition in the grave, whether thou have lived ten, 
 or a hundred, or a thousand years. 
 
 5 The children of sinners are abominable children, and thej 
 that are conversant in the dwelling of the ungodly. 
 
 6 The inheritance of sinners' children shall perish, and their 
 posterity shall have a perpetual reproach. 
 
 7 The children will complain of an ungodly father, Jxrciasc 
 they shall be reproached for his sake. 
 
 8 Woe be unto you, ungodly men, which have forsaken iLo 
 
 71 
 
Apocrypha. 
 
 ECCLESIASTICUS. 
 
 ApocrypHa. 
 
 taw of the most high God ! for if ye increase, it shall be to your 
 destruction : 
 
 9 And if ye be born, ye shall be born to a curse : and if ye 
 die, a curse shall be your portion. 
 
 10 All that are of the earth shall turn to earth again: so the 
 ungodly shall go from a curse to destruction. 
 
 11 The mourning of men is about their bodies: but an ill 
 name of sinners shall be blotted out. 
 
 12 Have regard to thy name; for that shall continue with 
 ohec above a thousand great treasures of gold. 
 
 13 A good life hath but few days: but a good name endureth 
 for ever. 
 
 14 My children, keep discipline in peace: for wisdom that is 
 hid, and a treasure that is not seen, what profit is in them both ? 
 
 15 A man that hideth his foolishness is better than a man 
 that hideth his wisdom. 
 
 10 Therefore be shamefaced according to my word : for it is 
 not good to retain all shamefacedness : neither is it altogether 
 approved in every thing. 
 
 17 Be ashamed of whoredom before father and mother : and 
 of a lie before a prince and a mighty man; 
 
 18 Of an offence before a judge and ruler; of iniquity before 
 a congregation and people; of unjust dealing before thy partner 
 and friend; 
 
 19 And of theft in regard of the place where thou sojournest, 
 and in regard of the truth of God and his covenant; and to lean 
 with thine elbow upon the meat; and of scorning to give and 
 take. 
 
 20 And of silence before them that salute thee; and to look 
 upon an harlot; 
 
 21 And to turn away thy face from thy kinsman; or to take 
 away a portion or a gift; or to gaze upon another man's wife; 
 
 22 Or to be over-busy with his maid, and come not near her 
 bed; or of upbraiding speeches before friends; and after thou 
 nast given, upbraid not; 
 
 23 Or of iterating and speaking again that which thou hast 
 heard; aud of revealing of secrets. 
 
 24 So shalt thou be truly shamefaced, and find favour before 
 all men. 
 
 CHAPTER XLII. 
 
 1 Whereof we should not be ashamed. 9 Be careful of thy daughter. 
 12 Beware of a woman. 15 The works and greatness of God. 
 
 OF these things be not thou ashamed, and accept no person to 
 sin thereby : 
 
 2 Of the law of the Most High, and his covenant; and of 
 judgment to justify the ungodly; 
 
 3 Of reckoning with thy partners and travellers; or of the 
 gift t)f the heritage of friends; 
 
 4 Of exactness of balance and weights; or of getting much or 
 little; 
 
 5 And of merchants' indifferent selling; of much correction 
 f children ; and to make the side of an evil servant to bleed. 
 
 6 Sure keeping is good, where an evil wife is; and shut up 
 where many hands are. 
 
 7 Deliver all things in number and weight; and put all in 
 writing that thou givest out, or receivest in. 
 
 8 Be not ashamed to inform the unwise and foolish, and the 
 extreme aged that contendeth with those that are young : thus 
 shalt thou be truly learned, and approved of all men living 
 
 9 The father waketh for the daughter, when no man knoweth; 
 and the care for her taketh away sleep: when she is young, lest 
 she pass away the flower of her age; and being married, lest she 
 should be hated: 
 
 10 In her virginity, lest she should be defiled and gotten with 
 child in her father's house; and having an husband, lest she 
 should misbehave herself; and when she is married, lest she 
 should be barren. 
 
 1 1 Keep a sure watch over a shameless daughter, lest she 
 make thee a laughing-stock to thine enemies, and a by-word in 
 
 72 
 
 the city, and a reproach among the people, and rnake thee 
 ashamed before the multitude. 
 
 12 Behold not every body's beauty, and sit not in the mids»t 
 of women. 
 
 13 For from garments coineth a moth, and from women wick- 
 edness. 
 
 14 Better is the churlishness of a man than a courteou% 
 woman, a woman, / say, which bringeth shame and reproach. 
 
 15 I will now remember the works of the Lord, and declare 
 the things that I have seen : In the words of the Lord are his 
 works. 
 
 16 The sun that giveth light looketh upon all things, and the 
 work thereof is full of the glory of the Lord. 
 
 17 The Lord hath not given power to the saints to declare all 
 his marvellous works, which the Almighty Lord firmly settled, 
 that whatsoever is, might be established for his elory. 
 
 18 He seeketh out the deep, and the heart, and considereth 
 their crafty devices : for the Lord knoweth all that may be known, 
 and he beholdeth the signs of the world. 
 
 19 He declareth the things that are past, and for to come, and 
 revealeth the steps of hidden things. 
 
 20 No thought escapeth him, neither any word is hidden from 
 him. 
 
 21 He hath garnished the excellent works of his wisdom, and 
 he is from everlasting to everlasting : unto him may nothing bo 
 added, neither can he be diminished, and he hath no need of anv 
 counsellor. 
 
 22 O how desirable are all his works ! and that a man niaj 
 see even to a spark. 
 
 23 All these things live and remain for ever for all useh, and 
 they are all obedient. 
 
 24 All things are double one against another : and he hath 
 made nothing imperfect. 
 
 25 One thing establisheth the good of another : and who shall 
 be filled with beholding his glory ? 
 
 CHAPTER XLIII. 
 
 1 The works of God in heaven, and in earth, and in the sea, are ex- 
 ing glorious and wonderful. 29 Yet God himself in his power and 
 wisdom is above all. 
 
 THE pride of the height, the clear firmament, the beauty of 
 heaven, with his glorious show ; 
 
 2 The sun when it appeareth, declaring at his rising a mar- 
 vellous instrument, the work of the Most High : 
 
 3 At noon it parcheth the country, and who can abide tht 
 burning heat thereof? 
 
 4 A man blowing a furnace is in works of heat, but the sun 
 burnetii the mountains three times more ; breathing out fiery 
 vapours, aud sending forth bright beams, it dimmetb the eyes. 
 
 5 Great is the Lord that made it; and at his commandment 
 it runneth hastily. 
 
 6 He made the moon also to serve in her season for a declara- 
 tion of times, and a sign of the world. 
 
 7 From the moon is the sign of feasts, a light that decreased) 
 in her perfection. 
 
 8 The month is called after her name, increasing wonderfulij 
 in her changing, being an instrument of the armies above, shinirg 
 in the firmament of heaven ; 
 
 9 The beauty of heaven, the glory of the stars, an ornament 
 giving light in the highest places of the Lord. 
 
 10 At the commandment of the Holy One they will stand in 
 their order, and never faint in their watches. 
 
 11 Look upon the rainbow, and praise him that made it; very 
 beautiful it is in the brightness thereof. 
 
 12 It compasseth the heaven about with a glorious circle, and 
 the hands of the Most High have bended it. 
 
 13 By his commandment he maketh the snow to fall apace, 
 and sendeth swiftly the lightnings of his judgment. 
 
 14 Through this the treasures are opened : and clouds fly forth 
 as fowls

 15 By his grout power he makcth the clouds firm, and the 
 hailstones arc broken small. 
 
 16 At his sight the mountains arc shaken, and at his will the 
 south wind bloweth. 
 
 17 The noise of the thunder makcth the earth to tremble : so 
 doth the northern storm and the whirlwind : as birds flying he 
 scattereth the snow, and the falling down thereof is as the light- 
 ing of grasshoppers : 
 
 13 The eye marvelleth at the beauty of the whiteness thereof, 
 and the heart is astonished at the raining of it. 
 
 19 The hoar-frost also as salt he poureth on the earth, and 
 being congealed, it lieth on the top of sharp stakes. 
 
 20 When the cold north wind bloweth, and the water is con- 
 gealed into ice, it abideth upon every gathering together of water, 
 and clotheth the water as with a breast-plate. 
 
 21 It devoureth the mountains, and burneth the wilderness, 
 and consuineth the grass as fire. 
 
 '22 A present remedy of all is a mist coming speedily: a dew 
 coming after heat, refresheth. 
 
 23 By his counsel he appeaseth the deep, and planteth islands 
 therein. 
 
 24 They that sail on the sea, tell of the danger thereof; and 
 when we hear it with our ears, we marvel thereat. 
 
 25 For therein be strange and wondrous works, variety of all 
 kinds of beasts and whales created. 
 
 26 By him the end of them hath prosperous success, and by 
 his word all things consist. 
 
 27 We may speak much, and yet come short : wherefore in 
 sum, he is all. 
 
 28 How shall we be able to magnify him ? for he is great 
 above all his works. 
 
 29 The Lord is terrible and very great, and marvellous is his 
 power. 
 
 30 When ye glorify the Lord, exalt him as much as ye can ; 
 for even yet will he far exceed : and when ye exalt him, put 
 forth all your strength, and be not weary ; for ye can never go 
 far enough. 
 
 31 Who hath seen him that he might tell us? and who can 
 magnify him as he is ? 
 
 32 There are yet hid greater things than these be, for we have 
 seen but a few of his works. 
 
 33 For the Lord hath made all things; and to the godly hath 
 he given wisdom. 
 
 CHAPTER XLIV. 
 
 1 The praise of certain holy men: 16 of Enoch, 17 Noah, 19 Abraham, 
 22 Isaac, 23 and Jacob. 
 
 LET us now praise famous men, and our fathers that begat ns. 
 2 The Lord hath wrought great glory by them through his 
 great power from the beginning. 
 
 3 Such as did bear rule in their kingdoms, men renowned for 
 their power, giving counsel by their understanding, and declaring 
 prophecies : 
 
 4 Leaders of the people by their counsels, and by their know- 
 ledge of learning meet for the people, wise and eloquent in their 
 instructions : 
 
 5 Such as found out musical tunes, and recited verses in 
 writing : 
 
 6 Rich men furnished with ability, living peaceably in their 
 habitations : 
 
 7 All these were honoured in their generations, and were the 
 glory of their times. 
 
 8 There be of them, that have left a name behind them, that 
 heir praises might be reported. 
 
 9 And some there be, which have no memorial ; who are 
 perished, as though they had never been ; and are become as 
 though they had never been born : and their children after 
 them. 
 
 10 But these were merciful men, whose righteousness hath 
 not been forgotten. 
 
 1 1 With their seed shall continually remain a good inheritance, 
 and their children are within tin: covenant. 
 
 12 Their seed standeth fast, and their children for their 
 
 13 Their seed shall remain for ever, and their glory shall not 
 be blotted out. 
 
 14 Their bodies arc buried in peace; but their name livelb 
 for evermore. 
 
 15 The people will tell of their wisdom, and the congregation 
 will show forth their praise. 
 
 16 Enoch pleased the Lord, and was translated, being an ex 
 ample of repentance to all generations. 
 
 17 Noah was found perfect and righteous; in the thru of 
 wrath he was taken in exchange [for the world ;] therefore was 
 he left as a remnant unto the earth, when the flood came. 
 
 18 An everlasting covenant was made with him, that all flesh 
 should perish no more by the flood. 
 
 19 Abraham was a great father of many people : in glory was 
 there none like unto him ; 
 
 20 Who kept the law of the Most High, and was in covenant 
 with him : he established the covenant in his flesh; and when 
 he was proved, he was found faithful. 
 
 21 Therefore he assured him by an oath, that he would bless 
 the nations in his seed, and that he would multiply him as the 
 dust of the earth, and exalt his seed as the stars, and cause them 
 to inherit from sea to sea, and from the river unto the utmos. 
 part of the land. 
 
 22 With Isaac did he establish likewise [for Abraham his 
 father's sake] the blessing of all men, and the covenant, 
 
 23 And made it rest upon the head of Jacob. He acknow- 
 ledged him in his blessing, and gave him an heritage, and divided 
 his portions; among the twelve tribes did he part them. 
 
 CHAPTER XLV. 
 1 The praise ot Moses, 6 of Aaron, 23 and of Ph-seea. 
 
 AND he brought out of him a merciful man, which found fa- 
 vour in the sight of all flesh, even Moses, beloved of God 
 and men, whose memorial is blessed. 
 
 2 He made him like to the glorious saints, and magnified him, 
 so that his enemies stood in fear of him. 
 
 3 By his words he caused the wonders to cease, and he made 
 him glorious in the sight of kings, and gave him a commandment 
 for his people, and showed him part of his glory. 
 
 4 He sanctified him in his faithfulness and meekness, and 
 chose him out of all men. 
 
 5 He made him to hear his voice, and brought him into the 
 dark cloud, and gave him commandments before his free, even 
 the law of life and knowledge, that he might toach Jacob his 
 covenants, and Israel his judgments. 
 
 6 He exalted Aaron, a holy man like unto him, ewu his 
 brother, of the tribe of Levi. 
 
 7 An everlasting covenant he made with him, and gave him 
 the priesthood among the people; he beautified hiui with comely 
 ornaments, and clothed him with a robe of glory. 
 
 8 He put upon him perfect glorj- ; and strengthened him 
 with rich garments, with breeches, with a long robe, and the 
 cphod. 
 
 9 And he compassed him with pomegranates, and with many 
 golden bells round about, that as he went there might be a sound, 
 and a noise made that might be heard in the temple, for a me- 
 morial to the children of his people ; 
 
 10 With an holy garment, with gold, and blue silk, anr pur 
 pie, the work of the embroiderer, with a breast-plate of judg- 
 ment, and with Urim and Thummim; 
 
 11 With twisted scarlet, the work of the cunning workman, 
 with precious stones graven like seals, and set in gold, the work 
 of the jeweller, with a writing engraved for a memorial, after the 
 number of the tribes of Israel. 
 
 12 He set a crown of gold upon the mitre, wherein was en 
 graved Holiness, an ornament of honour, a costlv work, lh« 
 desires of the eyes, goodly and beautiful.

 13 Before him there were none such, neither did ever any 
 stranger put them on, but only his children and his children's 
 children perpetually. 
 
 1 1 Their sacrifices shall he wholly consumed every day twice 
 continually. 
 
 15 Moses consecrated him, and anointed him with holy oil: 
 this was appointed unto him by an everlasting covenant, and to 
 his seed, so long as the heavens should remain, that they should 
 minister unto him, and execute the office of the priesthood, and 
 Dless the people in his name. 
 
 16 lie chose him out of all men living to offer sacrifice to the 
 Lord, incense, and a sweet savour, for a memorial, to make re- 
 conciliation for his people. 
 
 17 He crave unto him his commandments, and authority in 
 the statutes of judgments, that he should teach Jacob the testi- 
 monies, and inform Israel in his laws. 
 
 18 Strangers conspired together against him, and maligned 
 him in the wilderness, even the men that were of Dathan's and 
 Abiron's side, and the congregation of Core, with fury and wrath. 
 
 19 This the Lord saw, and it displeased him, and in his wrath- 
 ful indignation were they consumed : he did wonders upon them, 
 to consume them with the fiery flame. 
 
 20 But he made Aaron more honourable, and gave him an 
 heritage, and divided unto him the first-fruits of the increase; 
 especially he prepared bread in abundance : 
 
 21 For they ate of the sacrifices of the Lord, which he gave 
 unto him and his seed. 
 
 22 Howbeit, in the land of the people he had no inheritance, 
 neither had he any portion among the people : for the Lord 
 himself is his portion and inheritance. 
 
 23 The third in glory is Phinees the son of Eleazar, because 
 he had zeal in the fear of the Lord, and stood up with good 
 courage of heart when the people were turned back, and made 
 reconciliation for Israel. 
 
 2-4 Therefore was there a covenant of peace made with him, 
 that he should be the chief of the sanctuary and of his people, 
 and that he and his posterity should have the dignity of the 
 priesthood for ever : 
 
 25 According to the covenant made with David son of Jesse, 
 of the tribe of Juda, that the inheritance of the king should be 
 to his posterity alone : so the inheritance of Aaron should also 
 be unto his seed. 
 
 26 God give you wisdom in your heart to judge his people in 
 righteousness, that their good things be not abolished, and that 
 their glory may endure for ever. 
 
 CHAPTER XLVI. 
 
 1 The praise of Joshua, 9 of Caleb, 13 of Samuel. 
 
 JESUS the son of Nave was valiant in the wars, and was the 
 successor of Moses in prophecies, who according to his name 
 was made great for the saving of the elect of God, and takino- 
 vengeance of the enemies that rose up against them, that he 
 might set Israel in their inheritance. 
 
 2 How great glory gat he, when he did lift up his hands, and 
 ' tretched out his sword against the cities! 
 
 3 Who before him so stood to it? for the Lord himself brought 
 nis enemies unto him. 
 
 4 Did not the sun go back by his means ? and was not one 
 day as long as two ? 
 
 5 He called upon the most high Lord, when the enemies 
 pressed upon him on every side ; and the great Lord heard him. 
 
 6 And with hailstones of mighty power he made the battle to 
 fall violently upon the nations, and in the descent [of Beth-ho- 
 ron] he destroyed them that resisted, that the nations might 
 know all their strength, because he fought in the sight of the 
 Lord, and he followed the Mighty One. 
 
 - 7 In the time of Moses also he did a work of mercy, he and 
 Caleb the son of Jephunne, in that they withstood the congrega- 
 tion, and withheld the people from sin, and appeased the wicked 
 murmuring. 
 
 74 
 
 8 And of six hundred thousand people on foot, they two were 
 preserved to bring them into the heritage, even unto the land 
 that floweth with milk and honey. 
 
 9 The Lord gave strength also unto Caleb, which remained 
 with him unto his old age : so that he entered upon the high 
 places of the land, and his seed obtained it for an heritage : 
 
 10 That all the children of Israel might see that it is good to 
 follow the Lord. 
 
 11 And concerning the judges, every one by name, whosa 
 heart went not a whoring, nor departed from the Lord, let then 
 memory be blessed : 
 
 12 Let their bones flourish out of their place, and let the 
 name of them that were honoured be continued upon their 
 children. 
 
 13 Samuel, the prophet of the Lord, beloved of his Lord, 
 established a kingdom, and anointed princes over his people. 
 
 14 By the law of the Lord he judged the congregation, and 
 the Lord had respect unto Jacob. 
 
 15 By his faithfulness he was found a true prophet, and by 
 his word he was known to be faithful in vision. 
 
 16 He called upon the mighty Lord, when his enemies pressed 
 upon him on every side, when he offered the sucking lamb. 
 
 17 And the Lord thundered from heaven, and with a great 
 noise made his voice to be heard. 
 
 18 And he destroyed the rulers of the Tyrians, and all the 
 princes of the Philistines. 
 
 19 And before his long sleep he made protestations in the 
 sight of the Lord and his anointed, I have not taken any man's 
 goods, so much as a shoe: and no man did accuse him. 
 
 20 And after his death he prophesied, and showed the king 
 his end, and lifted up his voice from the earth in prophecy, to 
 blot out the wickedness of the people. 
 
 CHAPTER XLVII. 
 
 1 The praise of Nathan, 2 of David, 12 of Solomon ; his glory and 
 infirmities, 23 of his end and punishment. 
 
 AND after him rose up Nathan to prophesy in the time of 
 David. 
 
 2 As is the fat taken away from the peace-offering, so was 
 David chosen out of the children of Israel. 
 
 3 He played with lions as with kids, and with bears as wnb 
 lambs. 
 
 4 Slew he not a giant, when he was yet but young ? and did 
 he not take away reproach from the people, when he lifted up his 
 hand with the stone in the sling, and beat down the boasting of 
 Goliath ? 
 
 5 For he called upon the most high Lord; and he gave him 
 strength in his right hand to slay that mighty warrior, and set up 
 the horn of his people. 
 
 6 So the people honoured him with ten thousands, and praised 
 him in the blessings of the Lord, in that he gave him a crown of 
 glory. 
 
 7 For he destroyed the enemies on every side, and brought to 
 nought the Philistines his adversaries, and brake their horn in 
 sunder unto this day. 
 
 8 In all his works he praised the Holy One most high with 
 words of glory; with his whole heart he sung songs, and loved 
 him that made him. 
 
 9 He set singers also before the altar, that by their voices 
 they might make sweet melody, and daily sing praises in their 
 songs. 
 
 10 He beautified their feasts, asd set in order the solemn times 
 until the end, that they might praise his holy name, and that 
 the temple might sound from morning. 
 
 11 The Lord took away his sins, and exalted his horn for 
 ever : he gave him a covenant of kings, and the throne of glory 
 in Israel. 
 
 12 After him rose up a wise son, and for his sake he dwelt al 
 large. 
 
 13 Solomon reigned in a peaceable time, and was honoured ■

 for God made all quiet round about him, that he might build an 
 bouse in bis name, and prepare his sanctuary for ever. 
 
 14 How wise wast thou iu thy youth, and as a flood, filled 
 with understanding ! 
 
 15 Thy soul covered the whole earth, and thou filledst it with 
 dark parables. 
 
 15 Thy name went far unto the islands; and, for thy peace 
 thou wast beloved. 
 
 17 The countries marvelled at thee for thy songs, and proverbs, 
 and parables, and interpretations. 
 
 18 By the name of the Lord God, which is called the Lord 
 God of Israel, thou didsf gather gold as tin, and didst multiply 
 silver as lead. 
 
 19 Thou didst bow thy loins unto women, and by thy body 
 thou wast brought into subjection. 
 
 20 Thou didst stain thy honour, and pollute thy seed: so that 
 thou broughtest wrath upon thy children, and wast grieved for 
 thy folly. 
 
 21 So the kingdom was divided, and out of Ephraim ruled a 
 rebellious kingdom. 
 
 22 But the Lord will never leave off his mercy, neither shall 
 any of his works perish, neither will he abolish the posterity of 
 his elect, and the seed of him that loveth him he will not take 
 away : wherefore he gave a remnant um.o Jacob, and out of him 
 a root unto David. 
 
 23 Thus rested Solomon with his fathers, and of his seed he 
 left behind him Roboam, even the foolishness of the people, and 
 one that had no understanding, who turned away the people 
 through his counsel. There was also Jeroboam the son of Ne- 
 bat, who caused Israel to sin, and showed Ephraim the way of 
 sin : 
 
 24 And their sins were multiplied exceedingly, that they were 
 driven out of the land. 
 
 25 For they sought out all wickedness, till the vengeance 
 came upon them. 
 
 CHAPTER XLVIII. 
 
 1 The praise of Elias, 12 of Eliseus, 17 and of Ezekias. 
 
 fPHEN stood up Elias the prophet as fire, and his word burned 
 1- like a lamp. 
 
 2 He brought a sore famine upon them, and by his zeal he 
 diminished their number. 
 
 3 By the word of the Lord he shut up the heaven, and also 
 three times brought down fire. 
 
 4 Elias, how wast thou honoured in thy wondrous deeds ! 
 and who may glory like unto thee ! 
 
 5 Who didst raise up a dead man from death, and his sou' 
 from the place of the dead, by the word of the Most High : 
 
 6 Who broughtest kings to destruction, and honourable men 
 from their bed : 
 
 7 Who heardest the rebuke of the Lord in Sinai, and in Horeb 
 the judgment of vengeance : 
 
 8 Who anointedst kings to take revenge, and prophets to suc- 
 ceed after him : 
 
 9 Who was taken up in a whirlwind of fire, and in a chariot 
 of fiery horses : 
 
 10 Who wast ordained for reproofs in their times, to pacify 
 the wrath of the Lord's judgment, before it brake forth into 
 fury, and to turn the heart of the father unto the son, and to 
 restore the tribes of Jacob. 
 
 1 1 Blessed are they that saw thee, and slept in love ; for we 
 shall surely live. 
 
 12 Elias it was, who was covered with a whirlwind: and Eli- 
 seus was filled with his spirit: whilst he lived, he was not moved 
 with the presence of any prince, neither could any bring him into 
 subjection. 
 
 13 No word could overcome him; and after his death his body 
 prophesied. 
 
 14 He did wonders in his life, and at his death were his works 
 marvellous. 
 
 15 For all this the people repented not, neither departed tbej 
 from their sins, till tiny were spoiled and carried out of theif 
 land, and were scattered through all the earth : yet there re- 
 mained a small people, and a ruler in the house of David: 
 
 10 Of whom some did that which was pleasing to God, anil 
 some multiplied sins. 
 
 17 Ezekias fortified his city, and brought in water into thu 
 midst thereof: he digged the hard rock with iron, and inadi- 
 wells for waters. 
 
 18 Iu his time Sennacherib came up, and sent Kabsaces, ami 
 lifted up his hand against Sion, and boasted proudly. 
 
 IU Then trembled their hearts and hands, and they were in 
 pain, as women in travail. 
 
 20 But they called upon the Lord, which is merciful, and 
 stretched out their hands toward him: and immediately the Holy 
 One heard them out of heaven, and delivered them by the 
 ministry of Esay. 
 
 21 He smote the host of the Assyrians, and his angel destroyed 
 them. 
 
 22 For Ezekias had done the thing that pleased the Lord, and 
 was strong in the ways of David his father, as Esay the prophet, 
 who was great and faithful in his vision, had commanded him. 
 
 23 In his time the sun went backward, and he lengthened the 
 king's life. 
 
 24 He saw by an excellent spirit what should come to pass at 
 the last, and he comforted them that mourned in Sion. 
 
 25 He showed what should come to pass for ever, and secret 
 things or ever they came. 
 
 CHAPTER XLIX. 
 
 1 The prs.se of Josias, 4 of David and Ezekias, 6 of Jeremy, 8 of 
 Ezekiel 11 Zorobabel, 12 Jesus the son of Josedec: 13 of Neemias, 
 Enoch, Seth, Sem, aDd Adam. 
 
 THE remembrance of Josias is like the composition of the per- 
 fume that is made by the art of the apothecary: it is sweet 
 as honey in all mouths, and as music at a banquc!. of .vine. 
 
 2 He behaved himself uprightly in the conversion of the peo- 
 ple, and took away the abominations of iniquity. 
 
 3 He directed his heart unto the Lord, aud in the time of the 
 ungodly he established the worship of God. 
 
 4 All, except David, and Ezekias, and Josias, were defective : 
 for it-ey forsook the law of the Most High, even the kings of 
 Juda failed. 
 
 5 Therefore he gave their power unto others, and their glory 
 to a strange nation. 
 
 O 
 
 *) They burnt the chosen city of the sanctuary, and made tbv 
 Streets desolate, according to the prophecy of Jeremias. 
 
 7 For they entreated him evil, who nevertheless was a prophet, 
 sanctified in his mother's womb, that be might root out, and 
 afflict, and destroy; and that he might build up also, and plant. 
 
 8 It was Ezekiel who saw the glorious vision, which was 
 showed him upon the chariot of the cherubims. 
 
 9 For he made mention of the enemies under the figure of 
 the rain, and directed them that went right. 
 
 10 And of the twelve prophets let the memorial be blessed, 
 and let their bones flourish again out of their place : for they 
 comforted Jacob, and delivered them by assured hope. 
 
 11 How shall we magnify Zorobabel 1 even he was a signet 
 on the right hand : 
 
 12 So was Jesus the son of Josedec : who iu their time budd- 
 ed the house, and set up a holy temple to the Lord, which was 
 prepared for everlasting glory. 
 
 13 And among the elect was Neemias, whose renown is great, 
 who raised up for us the walls that were fallen, and set up the 
 gates and the bars, and raised up our ruins again. 
 
 14 But upon the earth was no man created like Enoch : for he 
 was taken from the earth. 
 
 15 Neither was there a man born like unto Joseph, a gover 
 nor of his brethren, a stay of the people, whose boucs were re- 
 garded of the Lord.

 CHAPTER L. 
 
 1 Of Simon the son of Onhis. 22 How the people were taught to 
 praise God, and pray. 27 The conclusion. 
 
 SIMON the high priest, the son of Onias, who in his life re- 
 paired the house again, and in his days fortified the temple : 
 
 2 And by him was built from the foundation the double height, 
 the high fortress of the wall about the temple : 
 
 3 In his days the cistern to receive water, being in compass 
 as the sea, was covered with plates of brass : 
 
 4 He took care of the temple that it should not fall, and forti- 
 fied the city against the besieging: 
 
 5 How was he honoured in the midst of the people in his 
 coming out of the sanctuary! 
 
 He was as the morning-star in the midst of a cloud, and as 
 the moon at the full : 
 
 7 As the sun shining upon the temple of the Most High, and 
 as the rainbow giving light in the bright clouds : 
 
 8 And as the flower of roses in the spring of the year, as lilies 
 by the rivers of waters, and as the branches of the frankincense- 
 tree in the time of summer : 
 
 9 As fire and incense in the censer, and as a vessel of beaten 
 gold set with all manner of precious stones : 
 
 10 And as a fair olive-tree budding forth fruit, and as a cy- 
 press-tree which groweth up to the clouds. 
 
 11 When he put on the robe of honour, and was clothed with 
 the perfection of glory, when he went up to the holy altar, he 
 made the garment of holiness honourable. 
 
 12 When he took the portions out of the priests' hands, he 
 himself stood by the hearth of the altar, compassed with his 
 brethren round about, as a young cedar in Libanus; and as 
 palm-trees compassed they him round about. 
 
 13 So were all the sons of Aaron in their glory, and the obla- 
 tions of the Lord in their hands, before all the congregation of 
 Israel. 
 
 14 And finishing the service at the altar, that he might adorn 
 the offering of the most high Almighty. 
 
 15 He stretched out his hand to the cup, and poured of the 
 blood of the grape; he poured out at the foot of the altar a 
 sweet-smelling savour unto the most high King of all. 
 
 10 Then shouted the sons of Aaron, and sounded the silver 
 trumpets, and made a great noise to be heard, for a remembrance 
 before the Most High. 
 
 17 Then all the people together hasted, and fell down to the 
 earth upon their faces to worship their Lord God Almighty, the 
 Most High. 
 
 18 The singers also sang praises with their voices, with great 
 variety of sounds was there made sweet melody. 
 
 19 And the people besought the Lord, the Most High, by 
 prayer before him that is merciful, till the solemnity of the Lord 
 Was ended, and they had finished his service. 
 
 • 20 Then he went down, and lifted up his hands over the 
 vhole congregation of the children of Israel, to give the blessing 
 of the Lord with his lips, and to rejoice in his name. 
 
 21 And they bowed themselves down to worship the second 
 time, that they might receive a blessing from the Most High. 
 
 22 Now therefore bless ye the God of all, which only doeth 
 wondrous things every where, which exalteth our days from the 
 womb, and dealeth with us according to his mercy. 
 
 23 He grant us joyfulness of heart, and that peace may be in 
 our days in Israel for ever : 
 
 24 That he would confirm his mercy with us, and deliver us 
 at his time ! 
 
 25 There be two manner of nations which my heart abhorreth, 
 and the third is no nation : 
 
 20 They that sit upon the mountain of Samaria, and they that 
 dwell among the Philistines, and tha.' foolish people that dwell 
 in Sic hem.

 28 Blessed is he that shall be exercised in these things; and 
 he that laycth them up in his heart shall become wise. 
 
 29 For if he do them, he shall be strong to all things : for the 
 light of the Lord leadeth him, who giveth wisdom to the godly 
 Blessed be the Lord for ever. Amen, Amen. 
 
 CHAPTER LI. 
 
 f A prayer of Jesus the son of Sirach. 
 
 I WILL thank thee, O Lord and King, and praise thee, O God 
 my Saviour : I do give praise unto thy name : 
 
 2 For thou art my defender and helper, and hast preserved 
 my body from destruction, and from the snare of the slanderous 
 tongue, and from the lips that forge lies, and hast been mine 
 helper against mine adversaries : 
 
 3 And hast delivered me, according to the multitude of thy 
 mercies and greatness of thy name, from the teeth of them that 
 were ready to devour me, and out of the hands of such as sought 
 after my life, and from the manifold afflictions which S had; 
 
 4 From the choking of fire on every side, and from the midst 
 of the fire which I kindled not; 
 
 5 From the depth of the belly of hell, from an unclean tongue, 
 and from lying words. 
 
 By an accusation to the king from an unrighteous tongue, 
 my soul drew near even unto death, my life was near to the hell 
 beneath. 
 
 7 They compassed me on every side, and there was no man to 
 help me : I looked for the succour of men, but there was none. 
 
 8 Then thought I upon thy mercy, O Lord, and upon thy acts 
 of old, how thou dcliverest such as wait for thee, and savest thein 
 out of the hands of the enemies. 
 
 9 Then lifted I up my supplication from the earth, and prayai 
 for deliverance from death. 
 
 10 I called upon the Lord, the Father of my Lord, that he 
 would not leave me in the days of my trouble, and in the time 
 of the proud, when there was no help. 
 
 11 I will praise thy name continually, and will sing praise 
 with thanksgiving; and so my prayer was heard : 
 
 12 For thou savedst me from destruction, and deliveredst me 
 from the evil time : therefore will I give thanks, and praise thee, 
 and bless thy name, O Lord. 
 
 13 When I was yet young, or ever I went abroad, I desired 
 wisdom openly in my prayer. 
 
 14 I prayed for her before the temple, and will seek her out 
 even to the end. 
 
 15 Even from the flower till the grape was ripe, hath my 
 heart delighted in her: my foot went the right way, from my 
 youth up sought I after her. 
 
 10 I bowed down mine ear a little, and received her, and gat 
 much learning. 
 
 17 I profited therein, therefore will I ascribe the glory unto 
 him that giveth me wisdom. 
 
 18 For I purposed to do after her, and earnestly I follow.-il 
 that which is good; so shall I not be confounded. 
 
 19 My soul hath wrestled with her, and in my doings I was 
 exact : I stretched forth my hands to the heaven above, and be- 
 wailed my ignorances of her. 
 
 20 I directed my soul unto her, and I found her in pureness 
 I have had my heart joined with her from the beginning, there- 
 fore shall I not be forsaken. 
 
 21 My heart was troubled in seeking her : therefore have I 
 gotten a good possession. 
 
 22 The Lord hath given me a tongue for my reward, and I 
 will praise him therewith. 
 
 23 Draw near unto me, ye unlearned, and dwell in the house 
 of learning. 
 
 24 Wherefore are ye slow, and what say ye of these things, 
 seeing your souls are very thirsty ?

 BAEUCH. 
 
 CHAPTER I. 
 
 1 b.-iruch wrote a book in Babylon. 5 The Jews there wept at the 
 reading of it. 7 They send money and the book to the brethren at 
 Jerusalem. 
 
 AND these are the words of the book, which Baruch the son 
 of Nerias, the son of Maasias, the son of Sedecias, the son 
 of Asadias, the son of Chelcias, wrote in Babylon. 
 
 2 In the fifth year, and in the seventh day of the month, 
 what time as the Chaldeans took Jerusalem, aud burnt it with 
 fire. 
 
 3 And Baruch did read the words of this book in the hearing 
 of Jechonias the son of Joachim king of Juda, and in the ears of 
 all the people that came to hear the book, 
 
 4 And in the hearing of the nobles, and of the king's sons, 
 and in the hearing of the elders, and of all the people, from the 
 lowest unto the highest, even of all them that dwelt at Babylon 
 by the river Sud. 
 
 5 Whereupon they wept, fasted, and prayed before the Lord. 
 
 6 They made also a collection of money according to every 
 man's power : 
 
 7 And they sent it to Jerusalem unto Joachim the high 
 priest, the son of Chelcias, son of Salom, and to the priests, and 
 to all the people which were found with him at Jerusalem, 
 
 8 At the same time when he received the vessels of the house 
 of the Lord, that were carried out of the temple, to return them 
 into the land of Juda, the tenth day of the month Sivan, namely, 
 silver vessels, which Sedecias, the son of Josias king of Juda had 
 made, 
 
 9 After that Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon had carried 
 away Jechonias, and the princes, and the captives, and the mighty 
 men, and the people of the land, from Jerusalem, and brought 
 them unto Babylon. 
 
 10 And they said, Behold, we have sent you money to buy 
 you burnt-offerings, and sin-offerings, and incense, and prepare 
 ye manna, and offer upon the altar of the Lord our God; 
 
 11 And pray for the life of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, 
 and for the life of Balthasar his son, that their days may be upon 
 earth as the days of heaven : 
 
 12 And the Lord will give us strength, and lighten our eyes, 
 and we shall live under the shadow of Nabuchodouosor, king of 
 Babylon, and under the shadow of Balthasar his son, and we shall 
 serve them many days, and find favour in their sight. 
 
 13 Pray for us also unto the Lord our God, for we have sinned 
 against the Lord our God; and unto this day the fury of the 
 Lord and his wrath is not turned from us. 
 
 14 And ye shall read this book which we have sent unto you, 
 to make confession in the house of the Lord, upon the feasts and 
 solemn days. 
 
 15 And ye shall say, To the Lord our God belongcth right- 
 eousness, but unto us the confusion of faces, as it is come to pass 
 this day, unto them of Juda, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, 
 
 1 6 And to our kings, and to our princes, and to our priests, 
 and to our prophets, and to our fathers : 
 
 17 For we have sinned before the Lord, 
 
 18 And disobeyed him, and have not hearkened unto the voice 
 of the Lord our God, to walk iu the commandments that he gave 
 as openly : 
 
 19 Since the day that the Lord brought our forefathers out 
 of the land of Egypt, unto this present day, we have been dis- 
 obedient unto the Lord our God, aud we have been negligent in 
 not hearing his voice. 
 
 20 Wherefore the evils cleaved unto us, and the curse, which 
 the Lord appointed by Moses his servant, at the time that he 
 brought our fathers out of the land of Egypt, to give us a land 
 that floweth with milk and honey, like as it is to see this day. 
 
 21 Nevertheless we have not hearkened unto the voice of the 
 Lord our God, according unto all the words of the prophets, 
 whom he sent unto us ; 
 
 22 But every man followed the imagination of his own wicked 
 heart, to serve strange gods, and to do evil in the sight of thp 
 Lord our God. 
 
 CHAPTER II. 
 
 The prayer and confession which the Jews at Babylon made aud sent 
 in that book unto the brethren in Jerusalem. 
 
 rPHEREFORE the Lord hath made good his word, which be 
 -I pronounced against us, and against our judges that judged 
 Israel, and against our kings, and against our princes, and against 
 the men of Israel and Judah, 
 
 2 To bring upon us great plagues, such as never happened 
 under the whole heaven, as it came to pass in Jerusalem, accord- 
 ing to the things that were written in the law of Moses; 
 
 3 That a man should eat the flesh of his own son, and the 
 flesh of his own daughter. 
 
 4 Moreover he hath delivered them to be in subjection to all 
 the kingdoms that are round about us, to be as a reproach and 
 desolation among all the people round about, where the Lord 
 hath scattered them. 
 
 5 Thus we were cast down, and not exalted, because we have 
 sinned agaiust the Lord our God, and have not been obedient 
 unto his voice. 
 
 6 To the Lord our God apperlaincth righteousness: but unto 
 us and to our fathers open shame, as appeare/h this day. 
 
 7 For all these plagues are come upon us, which the Lord 
 hath pronounced agaiust us. 
 
 8 Yet have we not prayed before the Lord, that we might 
 turn every one from the imaginations of his wicked heart. 
 
 9 Wherefore the Lord watched over us for evil, and the Lord 
 hath brought it upon us : for the Lord is righteous in all his 
 works which he hath commanded us. 
 
 10 Yet we have not hearkened unto his voice, to walk in the 
 commandments of the Lord, that he hath set before us. 
 
 11 And now, Lord God of Israel, that hast brought thy 
 people out of the laud of Egypt with a mighty hand, and high 
 arm, and with signs, and with wonders, and with great power, 
 and hast gotten thyself a name, as appeareth this daj r : 
 
 12 Lord our God, we have sinned, we have done ungodlily, 
 we have dealt unrighteously in all thiue ordinances. 
 
 13 Let thy wrath turn from us : for we are but a few left 
 among the heathen, where thou hast scattered us. 
 
 14 Hear our prayers, Lord, and our petitions, and deliver 
 us for thine own sake, and give us favour in the sight of then, 
 which have led us away: 
 
 77 
 
Af/dCTTpha- 
 
 DARUCH 
 
 Apoorypna. 
 
 15 That all the earth may know that thou art the Lord our 
 Gud, because Israel and his posterity is called by thy name. 
 
 16 Lord, look down from thy holy house, and consider us: 
 bow down thine ear, Lord, to hear us. 
 
 17 Open thine eyes and behold; for the dead that are in the 
 graves, whose souls are taken from their bodies, will give unto 
 the Lord neither praise nor righteousness: 
 
 18 But the soul that is greatly vexed, which goeth stooping 
 nd feeble, and the eyes that fail, aud the hungry soul, will give 
 hee praise and righteousness, Lord. 
 
 19 Therefore we do not make our humble supplication before 
 thee, Lord our God, for the righteousness of our fathers, and 
 of our kings. 
 
 20 For thou hast sent out thy wrath and indignation upon us, 
 as thou hast spoken by thy servants the prophets, saying, 
 
 '21 Thus saith the Lord, Bow down your shoulders to serve 
 the king of Babylon : so shall ye remain in the land that I gave 
 unto your fathers. 
 
 22 But if ye will not hear the voice of the Lord, to serve the 
 king of Babylon, 
 
 23 I will cause to cease out of the cities of Juda, and from 
 without Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the voice of joy, the 
 voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride : and the 
 whole land shall be desolate of inhabitants. 
 
 24 But we would not hearken unto thy voice, to serve the 
 king of Babylon : therefore hast thou made good the words that 
 thou spakest by thy servants the prophets, namely, that the bones 
 of our kings, and the bones of our fathers, should be taken out 
 of their places. 
 
 25 And lo, they are cast out to the heat of the day, and to 
 the frost of the night, and they died in great miseries by famine, 
 by sword, and by pestilence. 
 
 26 And the house which is called by thy name hast thou laid 
 waste, as it is lo be seen this day, for the wickedness of the house 
 of Israel and the house of Juda. 
 
 27 Lord our God, thou hast dealt with us after all thy good- 
 ness, and according to all that great mercy of thine, 
 
 28 As thou spakest by thy servant Moses in the day when 
 thou didst command him to write thy law before the children of 
 Israel, saying, 
 
 29 If ye will not hear my voice, surely, this very great multi- 
 tude shall be turned into a small number among the nations, 
 where I will scatter them. 
 
 30 For I knew that they would not hear me, because it is a 
 stiff-necked people : but in the land of their captivities they shall 
 remember themselves, 
 
 31 And shall know that I am the Lord their God: for 1 will 
 give them an heart, and ears to hear : 
 
 32 And they shall praise me in the laud of their captivity, and 
 think upon my name, 
 
 33 And return from their stiff neck, and from their wicked 
 deeds : for they shall remember the way of their fathers, which 
 sinned before the Lord. 
 
 34 And I will bring them again into the land which I pro- 
 mised with an oath unto their fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and 
 Jncob, and they shall be lords of it : and I will increase them, 
 and they shall not be diminished. 
 
 35 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them to be 
 their God, and they shall be my people : and I will no more 
 drive my people of Israel out of the land that I have given them. 
 
 CHAPTER III. 
 
 8 The rest of their prayer and confession contained in that book which 
 Baruch wrote and sent to Jerusalem. 30 Wisdom was showed first 
 to Jacob, and was seen upon the earth. 
 
 0LORD Almighty, God of Israel, the soul in anguish, the 
 troubled spirit, crieth unto thee. 
 
 2 Hear, Lord, and have mercy; for thou art merciful: and 
 have pity upon us, because we have sinned before thee. 
 
 3 For thou endurest for ever, and we perish utterly. 
 
 4 Lord Almighty, thou God of Israel, hear now the prayers 
 
 7$ 
 
 of the dead Israelites, and of their children, which have sinned 
 before thee, and not hearkened unto the voice of thee their God : 
 for the which cause these plagues cleave unto us. 
 
 5 Remember not the iniquities of our forefathers : but think 
 upo"\ thy power and thy name now at this time. 
 
 6 F^r thou art the Lord our God, and thee, Lord, will wo 
 praise. 
 
 7 And for this cause thou bast put thy fear in our hearts, tc 
 the intent that we should call upon thj name, and praise thee it: 
 our captivity : for we have called to mind all the iniquity of oui 
 forefathers, that sinned before thee. 
 
 8 Behold, we are yet this day in our captivity, where thou 
 hast scattered us, for a reproach and a curse, and to be subject to 
 payments, according to all the iniquities of our fathers, which 
 departed from the Lord our God. 
 
 9 Hear, Israel, the commandments of life : give ear' to under 
 stand wisdom. 
 
 10 How happeneth it, Israel, that thou art in thine enemies' 
 land, that thou art waxen old in a strange country, that thou art 
 defiled with the dead, 
 
 11 That thou art counted with them that go down into the 
 grave? 
 
 12 Thou hast forsaken the fountain of wisdom. 
 
 13 For if thou hadst walked in the way of God, thou shouldest 
 have dwelled in peace for ever. 
 
 14 Learn where is wisdom, where is strength, where is under- 
 standing; that thou mayest know also where is length of days, 
 and life, where is the light of the eyes, and peace. 
 
 15 Who hath found out her place? or who hath come into 
 her treasures? 
 
 16 Where are the princes ol the heathen become, and such as 
 ruled the beasts upon the earth ; 
 
 17 They that had their pastime with the fowls of the air, ami 
 they that hoarded up silver and gold, wherein men trust, and 
 made no end of their getting ? 
 
 18 For they that wrought in silver, and were so careful, anu' 
 whose works are unsearchable, 
 
 19 They are vanished and gone down to the grave, and others 
 are come up in their steads. 
 
 20 Young men have seen In/ht, and dwelt upon tie earth : 
 but the way of knowledge have they not known, 
 
 21 Nor understood the paths thereof, nor laid hold of it: their 
 children were far off from that way. 
 
 22 It hath not been heard of in Chanaan, neither hath it Wn 
 seen in Theman. 
 
 23 The Agarcnes that seek wisdom upon earth, the merchant? 
 of Meran and of Theman, the authors of fables, and s^archers-out 
 of understanding ; none of these have known the way of wisdom, 
 or remember her paths. 
 
 24 O Israel, how great is the house of God ! and how large 
 is the place of his possession 1 
 
 25 Great, and hath none end; high, and unmeasurable. 
 
 26 There were the giants famous from the beginning, th:>t 
 were of so great stature, and so expert in war. 
 
 27 Those did not the Lord choose, neither gave he the was 
 of knowledge unto them : 
 
 28 But they were destroyed, because they had no wisdom, anu 
 perished through their own foolishness. 
 
 29 Who hath gone up into heaven, and taken her, and brought 
 her down from the clouds ? 
 
 30 Who hath gone over the sea, and found her, and will bring 
 her for pure gold ? 
 
 31 No man knoweth her way, nor thinketh of her path. 
 
 32 But he that knoweth all things knoweth her, and hath 
 found her out with his understanding : he that prepared the earth 
 for evermore hath filled it with four-footed beasts : 
 
 33 He that sendeth forth light, and it goeth, callcth it again, 
 and it obeyeth him with fear. 
 
 34 The stars shined in their watches, and rejoiced : wb°u he 
 calleth them, they say, Here we be; and so with chcerfulne&s 
 they showed light unto him that made them 
 
Apocrypha.

 35 This is our God, and there shall none other be accounted 
 of in comparison of him. 
 
 36 He hath found out all the way of knowledge, and hath 
 given it unto Jacob his servant, and to Israel his beloved. 
 
 37 Afterward did he show himself upon earth, and conversed 
 with men. 
 
 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 The book of commandments, is that wisdom which was commanded 
 in tho former chapter. 25 The Jews are moved to patience, and to 
 hope for their deliverance. 
 
 1MIIS is the book of the commandments of God, and the law 
 that endureth for ever : all they that keep it shall come to 
 life ; but such as leave it shall die. 
 
 2 Turn thee, Jacob, and take hold of it : walk in the pres- 
 ence of the light thereof, that thou mayest be illuminated. 
 
 3 Give not thine honour to another, nor the things that are 
 profitable unto thee, to a strange nation. 
 
 4 Israel, h:ippy are we : for things that are pleasing to God 
 are made known unto us. 
 
 6 Be of good cheer, my people, the memorial of Israel. 
 
 <5 Ye were sold to the nations, not for [your] destruction : but 
 because ye moved God to wrath, ye were delivered unto the 
 enemies. 
 
 "l For ye provoked him that made you by sacrificing unto 
 dovits, and not to God. 
 
 5 Ye have forgotten the everlasting God, that brought you 
 up ; and ye have grieved Jerusalem, that nursed you. 
 
 9 For when she saw the wrath of God coming upon you, she 
 said, Hearken, ye that dwell about Sion : God hath brought 
 ppon me great mourning; 
 
 10 For I saw the captivity of my sons and daughters, which 
 e^e Everlasting brought upon them. 
 
 11 With joy did I nourish them; but sent tbem away with 
 weeping and mourning. 
 
 12 Let no man rejoice over me, a widow, and forsaken of 
 many, who for the sins of my children am left desolate ; because 
 they departed from the law of God. 
 
 13 They knew not his statutes, nor walked in the ways of his 
 commandments, nor trode in the patbs of discipline in his right- 
 eousness. 
 
 14 Let them tbat dwell about Sion come, and remember ye 
 the captivity of my sons and daughters, which the Everlasting 
 hath brought upon them. 
 
 15 For he hath brought a nation upon them from far, a shame- 
 less nation, and of a strange language, who neither reverenced old 
 man, nor pitied child. 
 
 16 These have carried away the dear beloved children of the 
 widow, and left her that was alone desolate without daughters. 
 
 17 But what can I help you? 
 
 18 For be that brought these plagues upon you, will deliver 
 you from the hands of your enemies. 
 
 19 Go your way, my children, go your way : for I am left 
 desolate. 
 
 20 I have put off the clotbing of peace, and put upon me the 
 sackcloth of my prayer: I will cry unto the Everlasting in my 
 days. 
 
 21 Be of good cheer, my children, cry unto the Lord, and 
 he shall deliver you from the power and hand of the enemies. 
 
 22 For my hope is in the Everlasting, that be will save you ; 
 and joy is come unto me from the Holy One, because of the 
 mercy which shall soon come unto you from the Everlasting our 
 Saviour. 
 
 23 For I sent you out with mourning and weeping: but God 
 will give you to me again with joy and gladness for ever. 
 
 24 Like as now the neighbours of Sion have seen your cap- 
 tivity: so shall they see shortly your salvation from our God, 
 which shall come upon you with great glory, and brightness of 
 the Everlasting. 
 
 25 My children, suffer patiently the wrath that is come upon 
 y>u from God: for thine enemy hath persecuted thee; but 
 
 shortly thou shalt sec his destruction, and shalt tread upon hU - 
 neck. 
 
 26 My delicate ones have gone rough ways, and were taken 
 away as a flock caught of the enemies. 
 
 27 Be of good comfort, my children, and cry unto God: 
 for yo shall be remembered of him that brought these things 
 upon you. 
 
 28 For as it was your mind to go astray from God; so, being 
 returned, seek him ten times more. 
 
 29 For he that hath brought these plagues upon you shall 
 bring you everlasting joy again with your salvation. 
 
 30 Take a good heart, Jerusalem : for he that gave thee 
 that name will comfort thee. 
 
 31 Miserable are they that afflicted thee, and rejoiced at thy 
 fall. 
 
 32 Miserable are the cities which thy children served : miser- 
 able is she that received thy sons. 
 
 33 For as she rejoiced at thy ruin, and was glad at thy fall , 
 so shall she be grieved for her own desolation. 
 
 34 For I will take away the rejoicing of her great multitude, 
 and her pride shall be turned into mourning. 
 
 35 For fire shall come upon her from the Everlasting, long to 
 endure; and she shall be inhabited of devils for a great time. 
 
 36 Jerusalem, look about thee towards the east, and behold 
 the joy that cometh unto thee from God. 
 
 37 Lo, thy sons come, whom thou sentest away; they come 
 gathered together from the east to the west by the word of tho 
 Holy One, rejoicing in the glory of God. 
 
 CHAPTER V. 
 
 1 Jerusalem is moved to rejoice, 5 and to behold their return out o. 
 captivity with glory. 
 
 PUT off, Jerusalem, the garment of thy mourning and afflic- 
 tion, and put on the comeliness of the glory that cometh from 
 God for ever. 
 
 2 Cast about thee a double garment of the righteousness which 
 cometh from God; and set a diadem on thine head of the glory 
 of the Everlasting. 
 
 3 For God will show thy brightness unto every country under 
 heaven. 
 
 4 For thy name shall be called of God for ever, The peace of 
 righteousness, and, The glory of God's worship. 
 
 5 Arise, Jerusalem, and stand on high, and look about to- 
 wards the east, and behold thy children gathered from the west 
 unto the east by the word of the Holy One, rejoicing in the re- 
 membrance of God. 
 
 6 For they departed from thee on foot, and were led away of 
 their enemies : but God bringeth them unto thee exalted with 
 glory, as children of the kingdom. 
 
 7 For God hath appointed that every high hill, and banks of 
 long continuance, should be cast down, and valleys filled up, to 
 make even the ground, that Israel may go safely in the glory of 
 God. 
 
 8 Moreover even the woods and every sweet-smelling tree shall 
 overshadow Israel by the commandment of God. 
 
 9 For God shall lead Israel with joy in the light of his glory 
 with the mercy and righteousness that cometh from him. 
 
 CHAPTER VI. 
 
 1 The cause of their captivity is their sin. 3 The place whereto thej 
 were carried is Babylon: the vanity of whose idols and idolatry is 
 set forth at large in this chapter. 
 
 1[ A copy of an epistle which Jeremiah sent unto them which were to 
 be led captives into Babylon by the king of the Babylonians, to cer- 
 tify them as it was commanded him of God. 
 
 BECAUSE of the sins which ye have committed before God, 
 ye shall be led away captives into Babylon by Nabuchodo- 
 nosor king of tho Babylonians. 
 
 3 So when ye be come uuto Babylon, ye shall remain ther* 
 79 
 
»pocrypl>a. 
 
 BARUCII. 
 
 Apoorypha 
 
 many years, and for a leng season, namely, seven generations: 
 and after that 1 will bring you away peaeeably from thence. 
 
 4 Now shall you see iu Babylon gods of silver, and of gold, 
 and of wood, borne upon shoulders, which cause the nations to 
 (ear. 
 
 5 Beware therefore that ye in no wise be like to strangers, 
 neither be yc afraid of them, when ye see the multitude before 
 them and behind them, worshipping them. 
 
 6 But say ye in your hearts, Lord, we must worship thee. 
 
 7 For mine angel is with you, and I myself caring for your 
 ouls. 
 
 8 As for their tongue, it is polished by the workman, and they 
 themselves are gilded and laid over with gold; yet are they but 
 false, and cannot speak. 
 
 9 And taking gold, as it were for a virgin that loveth to go 
 cay, they make crowns for the heads of their gods. 
 
 iO Sometimes also the priests convey from their gods gold and 
 silver, and bestow it upon themselves. 
 
 11 Yea, they will give thereof to the common harlots, and 
 leek them as men with garments, [being] gods of silver, and 
 gods of gold, and wood. 
 
 12 Yet cannot these gods save themselves from rust and 
 moths, though they be covered with purple raiment. 
 
 13 They wipe their faces because of the dust of the temple, 
 when there is much upon them. 
 
 14 Aad he that cannot put to death one that offendeth him, 
 holdeth a sceptre, as though he were a judge of the country. 
 
 15 He hath also in his right hand a dagger and an axe: but 
 cannot deliver himself from war and thieves. 
 
 16 Whereby they are known not to be gods: therefore fear 
 them not. 
 
 17 For like a vessel that a man useth is nothing worth when 
 it is broken: even so it is with their gods: when they be set up 
 in the temple, their eyes be full of dust through the feet of them 
 that come in. 
 
 18 And as the doors are made sure on every side upon him 
 that offendeth the king, as being committed to suffer death : even 
 so the priests make fast their temples with doors, with locks, and 
 oars, lest their gods be spoiled with robbers. 
 
 19 They light them candles, yea, more than for themselves, 
 whereof they cannot see one. * 
 
 20 They are as one of the beams of the temple, yet they say 
 their hearts are gnawed upon by things creeping out of the earth; 
 and when they eat them and their clothes, they feel it not. 
 
 21 Their faces are blacked through the smoke that ccmeth 
 out of the temple. 
 
 22 Upon their bodies and heads sit bats, swallows, and birds, 
 and the cats also. 
 
 23 By this ye may know that they are no gods : therefore fear 
 them not. 
 
 24 Notwithstanding the gold that is about them to make them 
 beautiful, except they wipe off the rust, they will not shine; for 
 neither when they were molten did they feel it. 
 
 25 The things wherein there is no breath are bought for a 
 most high price. 
 
 26 They are borne upon shoulders, having no feet, whereby 
 they declare unto men that they be nothing worth. 
 
 27 They also that serve them are ashamed : for if they fall to 
 the ground at any time, they cannot rise up again of themselves : 
 neither, if one set them upright, can they move of themselves : 
 neither, if they be bowed down, can they make themselves 
 straight: but they set gifts before them, as unto dead men. 
 
 28 As for the things that are sacrificed unto the-m, their priests 
 sell aud abuse; in like manner their wives lay up part thereof in 
 6alt; but unto the poor and impotent they give nothing of it. 
 
 29 MenstruoMS women, and women in child-bed, eat their 
 sacrifices : by these things ye may know that they are no gods : 
 fear them not. 
 
 30 For how can they be called gods ? because women set meat 
 before the gods of silver, gold, aud wood. 
 
 31 An" 1 "-lie priests sit in their temples, having their clothes 
 
 80 
 
 rent, and their beads and beards shaven, and nothing upon theii 
 heads. 
 
 32 They roar and cry before their gods, as men do at the feast 
 when one is dead. 
 
 33 The priests also take off their garments, and clothe theii 
 wives and children. 
 
 34 Whether it be evil that one docth unto them, or good, they 
 are not able to recompense it: they can neither set up a king, 
 nor put him down. 
 
 35 In like manner they can neither give riches nor money: 
 though a man make a vow unto them, and keep it not, they will 
 not require it. 
 
 36 They can save no man from death, neither deliver the 
 weak from the mighty. 
 
 37 They cannot restore a blind man to his sight, nor help any 
 man in his distress. 
 
 38 They can show no mercy to the widow, nor do good to the 
 fatherless. 
 
 39 Their gods of wood, and which are overlaid with gold and 
 silver, are like the stones that be hewn out of the mountain : 
 they that worship them shall be confounded. 
 
 40 How should a man then think and say that they are gods, 
 when even the Chaldeans themselves dishonour them ? 
 
 41 Who if they shall see one dumb that cannot speak, they 
 bring him, and entreat Bel that he may speak, as though he were 
 able to understand. 
 
 42 Yet they cannot understand this themselves, and leave 
 them : for they have no knowledge. 
 
 43 The women also with cords about them, sitting in the ways, 
 burn bran for perfume : but if any of them, drawn by some that 
 passeth by, lie with him, she reproacheth her fellow, that she was 
 not thought as worthy as herself, nor her cord broken. 
 
 44 Whatsoever is done among them is false: how may it then 
 be thought or said that they are gods ? 
 
 45 They are made of carpenters and goldsmiths : they can be 
 nothing else than the workmen will have them to be. 
 
 46 And they themselves that made them can never continue 
 long; bow should then the things that are made of them be gods? 
 
 47 For they left lies and reproaches to them that come after. 
 
 48 For when there cometh any war or plague upon them, the 
 priests consult with themselves, where they may be hidden with 
 them. 
 
 49 How then cannot men perceive that they be no gods, which 
 can neither save themselves from war nor from plague? 
 
 50 For seeing they be but of wood, and overlaid with silver 
 and gold, it shall be known hereafter that they are false : 
 
 51 And it shall manifestly appear to all nations and kings, 
 that they are no gods, but the works of men's hands, and that 
 there is no work of God in them. 
 
 52 Who then may not know that they are no gods? 
 
 53 For neither can they set up a king in the land, nor give 
 rain unto men. 
 
 54 Neither can they judge their own cause, nor redress a 
 wrong, being unable : for they are as crows between heaven anJ 
 earth. 
 
 55 Whereupon when fire falleth upon the house of gods of 
 wood, or laid over with gold or silver, their priests will flee away 
 and escape t but they themselves shall be burned asunder lib' 
 beams. 
 
 56 Moreover they cannot withstand any king or enemies: hoi- 
 can it then be thought or said that they be gods? 
 
 57 Neither are those gods of wood, and laid over with silvc 
 or gold, able to escape either from thieves or robbers 
 
 58 Whose gold, and silver, and garments wherewith they an. 
 clothed, they that are strong do take, and go away withal : neither 
 are they able to help themselves. 
 
 59 Therefore it is better to be a king that showeth his power, 
 or else a profitable vessel in a house, which the owner shall have 
 use of, than such false gods ; or to be a door in a house, to keep 
 .such things safe as be therein, than such false gods; or a pillar 
 of wood in a palace, than such false gods

 SONG OF THE THREE CHILDREN. 
 
 Apocrypn- 
 
 GO For sun, moon, and stars, being bright, and sent to do their 
 offices, are obedient. 
 
 Gl In like manner the lightning when it brcakcth forth is 
 easy to be seen; and after the same manner the wind bloweth in 
 every country. 
 
 62 And when God commandeth the clouds to go over the 
 whole world, they do as they are bidden. 
 
 63 And the fire sent from above to consume hills and woods 
 uoeth as it is commanded ; but these are like unto them neither 
 in show nor power. 
 
 6-4 Wherefore it is neither to be supposed nor said that they 
 are gods, seeing they are able neither to judge causes, nor to do 
 good unto meu. 
 
 65 Knowing therefore that they are no gods, fear them not. 
 
 66 For they can neither curse nor bless kings : 
 
 67 Neither can they show signs in the heavens amoug the 
 heathen, nor shine as the sun, nor give light as the moon. 
 
 68 The beasts arc better than they : for they can get under a 
 covert, and help themselves. 
 
 G9 It is then by no means manifest unto us that they are 
 gods: therefore fear them not. 
 
 70 For as a scarecrow in a garden of cucumbers k< < 
 nothing: so are their gods of wood, and laid over with silver 
 aud gold. 
 
 71 And likewise their gods of wood, and laid over with 
 silver and gold, are like to a white thorn in an orchard, that 
 every bird sitteth upon; as also to a dead body that is cast into 
 the dark. 
 
 72 And ye shall know them to be no gods by the bright 
 purple that rotteth upon them: and they themselves afterward 
 shall be eaten, and shall be a reproach in the country. 
 
 73 Better therefore is the just man that hath none idols: foi 
 he shall be far from reproach. 
 
 THE SONG OF THE THREE HOLY CHILDREN, 
 
 Which followeth in the third chapter of DJiNIEL after this place, — fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace 
 That which followeth is not in the Hebrevi, to wit, And they walked — unto these words, Then Nebuchadnezzar — verse 24. 
 
 2 Azarias his prayer and confession in the flame, 24 wherewith the 
 Chaldeans about the oven were consumed, but the three children 
 within it were not hurt. 28 The song of the three children in the 
 oven. 
 
 A ND they walked in the midst of the fire, praising God, and 
 ii blessing the Lord. 
 
 2 Then Azarias stood up, and prayed in this manner: and 
 opening his mouth in the midst of the fire, said, 
 
 3 Blessed art thou, Lord God of our fathers : thy name is 
 worthy to be praised and glorified for evermore : 
 
 4 For thou art righteous in all the things that thou hast done 
 to us: yea, true are all thy works, thy ways are right, and all 
 thy judgments true. 
 
 5 In all the things which thou hast brought upon us, and upon 
 the holy city of our fathers, even Jerusalem, thou hast executed 
 true judgment: for according to truth and judgment didst thou 
 bring all these things upon us because of our sins. 
 
 6 For we have sinned and committed iniquity, departing from 
 thee. 
 
 7 In all things have we trespassed, and not obeyed thy com- 
 mandments, nor kept them, neither done as thou hast commanded 
 us. that it might go well with us. 
 
 8 Wherefore all that thou hast brought upon us, and every 
 
 thing 
 
 that thou hast done to us, thou hast done in true judg- 
 
 ment. 
 
 9 And thou didst deliver us into the hands of lawless enemies, 
 Most hateful forsakers of God, and to an unjust king, and the 
 .most wicked in all the world. 
 
 10 And now we cannot open our mouths, we are become a 
 thame and reproach to thy servants, and to them that worship 
 thee. 
 
 11 Yet deliver us not up wholly, for thy name's sake, neither 
 disannul thou thy covenant: 
 
 12 And cause not thy mercy to depart from us, for thy be- 
 loved Abraham's sake, for thy servant Isaac's sake, and for thy 
 holy Israel's sake ; 
 
 13 To whom thou hast spoken and promised, that thou 
 wouidest multiply their seed as the stars of. heaven, and as the 
 sand that lieth upon the sea-shore. 
 
 14 For we, Lord, are become less than any nation, and be 
 kept under this day in all the world because of our sins. 
 
 15 Neither is there at this time prince, or prophet, or leader, 
 or burnt-offering, or sacrifice, or oblation, or incense, or place to 
 sacrifice before thee, and to find merry 
 
 6 L 
 
 16 Nevertheless in a contrite heart aud an humble spirit let 
 us be accepted. 
 
 17 Like as in the burnt-offerings of rams and bullocks, and 
 like as in ten thousands of fat lambs: so let our sacrifice be in 
 thy sight this day, and grant that we may wholly go after thee 
 for they shall not be confounded that put their trust in thee. 
 
 18 And now we follow thee with all our heart, we fear thee^ 
 and seek thy face. 
 
 19 Put us not to shame : but deal with us after thy loving- 
 kindness, and according to the multitude of thy mercies. 
 
 20 Deliver us also according to thy marvellous works, and 
 give glory to thy name, Lord : and let all them that do thy 
 servants hurt be ashamed ; 
 
 21 And let them be confounded in all their power and might, 
 and let their strength be broken ; 
 
 22 And let them know that thou art Lord, the only God, and 
 glorious over the whole world. 
 
 23 And the king's servants, that put them in, ceased not to 
 make the oven hot with rosin, pitch, tow, aud small wood; 
 
 24 So that the flame streamed forth above the furnace forty 
 and nine cubits. 
 
 25 And it passed through, and burned those Chaldeans it 
 found about the furnace. 
 
 26 But the angel of the Lord came down into the oven to- 
 gether with Azarias and his fellows, and smote the flame of the 
 fire out of the oven; 
 
 27 And made the midst of the furnace as it had been a moist 
 whistling wind, so that the fire touched them not at all, neither 
 hurt nor troubled them. 
 
 28 Then the three, as out of one mouth, praised, glorified, and 
 blessed God in the furnace, saying, 
 
 29 Blessed art thou, Lord God of our fathers : and to he 
 praised and exalted above all for ever. 
 
 30 And blessed is thy glorious and holy name: and to be 
 praised and exalted above all for ever. 
 
 31 Blessed art thou in the temple of thine holy glory: and to 
 be praised and glorified above all for ever. 
 
 32 Blessed art thou that beholdcst the depths, and sittest 
 upon the cherubims: and to be praised and exalted above all 
 for ever. 
 
 33 Blessed art thou on the glorious throne of thy kingdom : 
 and to be praised and glorified above all for ever. 
 
 34 Blessed art thou in the firmament of heaven : and above 
 all to be praised and glorified for ever.

 THE HISTORY OF SUSANNA, 
 
 Set apart from the beginning of DJJNIEL, because it is not in the Hebrew, as neither the Narration of BEL and the DRAGOJS'. 
 
 10 Two judges hide themselves in the garden of Susanna to have their 
 pleasure of her: 28 which when they could not obtain, they accuse, 
 and cause her to be condemned for adultery : 4G But Daniel examin- 
 eth the matter again, and findeth the two judges false. 
 
 INHERE dwelt a man in Babylon, called Joacim : 
 2 And he took a wife, whose name was Susanna, the 
 daughter of Cheleias, a very fair woman, and one that feared the 
 Lord. 
 
 3 Her parents also were righteous, and taught their daughter 
 iccording to the law of Moses. 
 
 4 Now Joacim was a great rich man, and had a fair garden 
 joining unto his house : and to him resorted the Jews ; because 
 he was more honourable than all others. 
 
 5 The same year were appointed two of the ancients of the 
 people to be judges, such as the Lord spake of, that wickedness 
 jame from Babylon from ancient judges, who seemed to govern 
 the people. 
 
 6 These kept, much at Joacim's house : and all that had any 
 suits in law came unto them. 
 
 7 Now when the people departed away at noon, Susanna went 
 into her husband's garden to walk. 
 
 8 And the two elders saw her goiug in every day, and walk- 
 ing; so that their lust was inflamed towards her. 
 
 £* And they perverted their own mind, and turned away their 
 eyes, that they might not look unto neaven, nor remember just 
 judgments. 
 
 82 
 
 10 And albeit they both were wounded with her love, yet 
 durst not one show another his grief. 
 
 11 For they were ashamed to declare their lust, that they de- 
 sired to have to do with her. 
 
 12 Yet they watched diligently from day to day to see her. 
 
 1 3 And the one said to the other, Let us now go home : for 
 it is dinner-time. 
 
 14 So when they were gone out, they parted the one from the 
 other, and turning back again they came to the same place ; and 
 after they had asked one another the cause, they acknowledged 
 their lust : then appointed they a time both together, when they 
 might find her alone. 
 
 15 And it fell out, as they watched a fit time, she went in a? 
 before with two maids only, and she was desirous to wash herself 
 in the garden : for it was hot. 
 
 16 And there was nobody there save the two elders, that had 
 hid themselves, and watched her. 
 
 17 Then she said to her maids, Bring me oil and washing- 
 balls, and shut the garden-doors, that 1 may wash me. 
 
 18 And they did as she bade them, and shut the garden-doors, 
 and went out themselves at privy doors to fetch the things that 
 she had commanded them : but they saw not the elders, because 
 they were hid. 
 
 19 Now when the maids were gone forth, the two elders rose 
 up, and ran unto her, saying, 
 
 20 Behc]d, the garden-doors are shut, that no man can see u» 
 
Apocrypha. 
 
 HISTORY OF SUSANNA. 
 
 Apocrypha. 
 
 and we are La love with thee ; therefore consent unto us, and lie 
 with us. 
 
 21 If thou wilt not, we will bear witness against thee, that a 
 young man was with thec : and therefore thou didst send away 
 thy maids from thee. 
 
 22 Then Susanna sighed, and said, I am straitened on every 
 ride : for if I do this thing, it is death unto me : and if I do it 
 not, I cannot escape your hands. 
 
 23 It is better for me to fall into your hands, and not to do it, 
 than to sin in the sight of the Lord. 
 
 24 With that Susanna cried with a loud voice : and the two 
 jlders cried out against her. 
 
 25 Then ran the one, and opened the garden-door. 
 
 26 So when the servants of the house heard the cry in the 
 garden, they rushed in at a privy door, to see what was done 
 unto her. 
 
 27 But when the elders had declared their matter, the servants 
 were greatly ashamed : for there never was such a report made 
 of Susanna. 
 
 28 Aud it came to pass the next day, when the people were 
 assembled to her husband Joacim, the two elders came also full 
 of mischievous imagination against Susanna to put her to death; 
 
 29 And said before the people, Send for Susanna, the daughter 
 of Chelcias, Joacim's wife. And so they sent. 
 
 30 So she came with her father and mother, her children, and 
 All her kindred. 
 
 31 Now Susanna was a very delicate woman, and beauteous 
 to behold. 
 
 32 And these wicked men commanded to uncover her face, 
 (for she was covered) that they might be filled with her beauty. 
 
 33 Therefore her friends and all that saw her wept. 
 
 34 Then the two elders stood up in the midst of the people, 
 and laid their hands upon her head. 
 
 35 And she weeping looked up towards heaven : for her heart 
 trusted in the Lord. 
 
 36 And the elders said, As we walked in the garden alone, 
 this woman came in with two maids, and shut the garden-doors, 
 and sent the maids away. 
 
 37 Then a young man, who there was hid, came unto her, and 
 lay with her. 
 
 38 Then we that stood in a corner of the garden, seeing this 
 wickedness, ran unto them. 
 
 39 And when we saw them together, the man we could not 
 hold : for he was stronger than we, and opened the door, and 
 leaped out. 
 
 40 But having taken this woman, we asked who the young 
 man was, but she would not tell us : these things do we testify. 
 
 41 Then the assembly believed them, as those that were the 
 elders and judges of the people : so they condemned her to death. 
 
 42 Then Susanna cried out with a loud voice, and said, 
 everlasting God, that knowest the secrets, and knowest all things 
 before they be : 
 
 43 Thou knowest that they have borne false witness against 
 me, aud behold, I must die ; whereas I never did such things as 
 these men have maliciously invented against me. 
 
 F 
 
 44 And the Lord heard her voice. 
 
 45 Therefore when she was led to be put to death, the Lord 
 raised up the holy spirit of a young youth, whose name wan 
 Daniel : 
 
 46 Who cried with a loud voice, I am clear from the blood of 
 this woman. 
 
 47 Then all the people turned them towards him, and said, 
 What mean these words that thou hast spoken ? 
 
 48 So he standing in the midst of them said, Are ye such fools, 
 ye sons of Israel, that without examination or knowledge of the 
 truth ye have condemned a daughter of Israel ? 
 
 49 Return again to the. place of judgment: for they have 
 borne false witness against her. 
 
 50 Wherefore all the people turned again in haste, and tb« 
 elders said unto him, Come, sit down among us, aud show it us, 
 seeing God hath given thee the honour of an elder. 
 
 51 Then said Daniel unto them, Put these two aside one far 
 from another, and I will examine them. 
 
 52 So when they were put asunder one from another, he called 
 one of them, and said unto him, thou that art waxen old in 
 wickedness, now thy sins which thou hast committed aforetime 
 are come to light. 
 
 53 For thou hast pronounced false judgment, and hast con- 
 demned the innocent, and hast let the guilty go free ; albeit the 
 Lord saith, the innocent and righteous shalt thou not slay. 
 
 54 Now then, if thou hast seen her, tell me, Under what tree 
 sawest thou them companying together? Who answered, Under 
 a mastick-tree. 
 
 55 And Daniel said, Very well; thou hast lied against thine 
 own head ; for even now the angel of God hath received the sen- 
 tence of God to cut thee in two. 
 
 56 So he put him aside, and commanded to bring the other, 
 and said unto him, thou seed of Chanaan, and not of Juda, 
 beauty hath deceived thee, and lust hath perverted thine heart. 
 
 57 Thus have ye dealt with the daughters of Israel, and they 
 for fear companied with you : but the daughter of Juda would 
 not abide your wickedness. 
 
 58 Now therefore tell me, Under what tree didst thou take 
 them companying together ? Who answered, Under a holm-tree. 
 
 59 Then said Daniel unto him, Well; thou hast also lied 
 against thine own head : for the angel of God waiteth with the 
 sword to cut thee in two, that he may destroy you. 
 
 60 With that all the assembly cried out with a loud voice, 
 and praised God, who saveth them that trust in him. 
 
 61 And they arose against the two elders, for Daniel had con- 
 victed them of false witness by their own mouth : 
 
 62 And according to the law of Moses they did unto them in 
 such sort as they maliciously intended to do to their neighbour: 
 and they put them to death. Thus the innocent blood was saved 
 the same day. 
 
 63 Therefore Chelcias and his wife praised God for then- 
 daughter Susanna, with Joacim her husband, and all the kindred, 
 because there was no dishonesty found in her. 
 
 64 From that day forth was Daniel had in Gfreat reputation b 
 the sight of th<> people.

THE HISTORY OF 
 
 THE DESTRUCTION OF BEL AND THE DEACON, 
 
 Cut. off from the end of DANIEL. 
 
 19 The fraud of Bel's priests is discovered by Daniel, 27 and the 
 Dragon slain -which was worshipped. 33 Daniel is preserved in the 
 lion's den. 42 The king doth acknowledge the God of Daniel, and 
 casteth his enemies into the same den. 
 
 AND king Astyages was gathered to his fathers, and Cyras of 
 Persia received his kingdom. 
 
 2 And Daniel conversed with the king, and was honoured 
 above all his friends. 
 
 3 Now the Babylonians had an idol, called Bel, and there 
 were spent upon him every day twelve measures of fine flour, and 
 forty sheep, and six vessels of wine. 
 
 4 And the king worshipped it, and went daily to adore it : 
 but Daniel worshipped his own God. And the king said unto 
 him, Why dost not thou worship Bel? 
 
 5 Who answered and said, Because I may not worship idols 
 made with hands, but the living God, who hath created the 
 heaven and the earth, and hath sovereignty over all flesh. 
 
 6 Then said the king unto him, Thinkest thou not that Bel is 
 a living god ? seest thou not how much he eateth and drinketh 
 every day ? 
 
 7 Then Daniel smiled, and said, king, be not deceived : for 
 this is but clay within, and brass without, and did never eat nor 
 drink any thing. 
 
 8 So the king was wroth, and called for his priests, and said 
 unto them, If ye tell me not who this is that devoureth these 
 rxpenses, ye shall die. 
 
 9 But if ye can certify me that Bel devoureth them, then 
 Daniel shall die : for he hath spoken blasphemy against Bel. 
 And Daniel said unto the king, Let it be according to thy word. 
 
 10 Now the priests of Bel were threescore and ten, besides 
 their wives and children. And the king went with Daniel into 
 the temple of Bel. 
 
 11 So Bel's priests said, Lo, we go out : but thou, king, set 
 on the meat, and make ready the wine, and shut the door fast, 
 and seal it with thine own signet ; 
 
 12 And to-morrow when thou comest in, if thou findest not 
 that Bel hath eaten up all, we will suffer death; or else Daniel, 
 that speaketh falsely against us. 
 
 13 And they little regarded it: for under the table they had 
 made a privy entrance, whereby they entered in continually, and 
 consumed those things. 
 
 14 So when they were gone forth, the king set meats before 
 el. Now Darup.l had commanded his servants to bring ashes, 
 
 aid those they strewed throughout all the temple in the presence 
 of the king alone : then went they out, and shut the door, and 
 sealed it with the king's signet, and so departed. 
 
 15 Now in the night came the priests with their wives and 
 children, as they were wont to do, and did eat and drink up all. 
 
 16 In the morning betimes the king arose, and Daniel with 
 bim. 
 
 17 And the king said, Daniel, are the seals whole ? and he 
 said, Yea, king, they be whole. 
 
 18 And as soon as he had opened the door, the king looked 
 upon the table, and cried with a ioud voice, Great art thou, 
 Bel, and with thee is no deceit at all. 
 
 19 Then laughed Daniel, and held the king that he should 
 not go in, and said. Behold now the pavemer.t, and mark well 
 •rhose footsteps are these 
 
 84 
 
 20 And the king said, I see the footsteps of men, women, and 
 children. And then the king was angry, 
 
 21 And took the priests with their wives and children, who 
 showed him the privy doors, where they came in, and consumed 
 such things as were upon the table. 
 
 22 Therefore the king slew them, and delivered Bel into 
 Daniel's power, who destroyed him and his temple. 
 
 23 And in that same place there was a great dragon, which 
 they of Babylon worshipped. 
 
 24 And the king said unto Daniel, Wilt thou also say that 
 this is of brass? lo, he liveth, he eateth and drinketh; thou 
 canst not say that he is no living god; therefore worship him. 
 
 25 Then said Daniel unto the king, I will worship the Lord 
 my God : for he is the living God. 
 
 26 But give me leave, king, and I shall slay this dragOD 
 without sword or staff. The king said, I give thee leave. 
 
 27 Then Daniel took pitch, and fat, and hair, and did seethe 
 them together and made lumps thereof: this he put in the 
 dragon's mouth, and so the dragon burst in sunder :-and Daniel 
 said, Lo, these are the gods ye worship. 
 
 28 When they of Babylon heard that, they took great indig- 
 nation, and conspired against the king, saying, The king is be- 
 come a Jew, and he hath destroyed Bel, he hath slain the dragon, 
 and put the priests to death. 
 
 29 So they came to the king, and said, Deliver us Daniel, oi 
 else we will destroy thee and thine house. 
 
 30 Now when the king saw that they pressed him sore, being 
 constrained, he delivered Daniel unto them : 
 
 31 Who cast him into the lion's den : where he was six 
 days. 
 
 32 And in the den there were seven lions, and they had given 
 them ever, day two carcases, and two sheep : which then were 
 not given to them, to the intent they might devour Daniel. 
 
 33 Now there was in Jewry a prophet, called Habbacuc, who 
 had made pottage, and had broken bread in a bowl, and was 
 going into the field, for to bring it to. the reapers. 
 
 34 But the angel of the Lord said unto Habbacuc, Go, carry 
 the dinner that thou hast into Babylon unto Daniel, who is in 
 the lion's den. 
 
 •35 And Habbacuc said, Lord, I never saw Babylon ; neither 
 do I know where the den is. 
 
 36 Then the angel of the Lord took him by the crown, and 
 bare him by the hair of his head, and through the vehemency 
 of his spirit set him in Babylon over tl e den. 
 
 37 And Habbacuc cried, saying, Daniel, Daniel, take the 
 dinner which God hath sent thee 
 
 38 And Daniel said, Thou hast remembered me, God: 
 neither hast thou forsaken them that seek thee and love thee. 
 
 . 39 So Daniel arose, and did eat : and the angel of the Lord 
 set Habbacuc in his own place again immediately. 
 
 40 Upon the seventh day the king went to bewail Daniel : 
 and when he came to the den, he looked in, and behold, Daniel 
 was sitting. 
 
 41 Then cri^d the king with a loud voice, saying, Great art 
 thou, Lord God of Daniel, and there is none other besides thee. 
 
 42 And he drew him out, and cast those that were the cause 
 of his destruction into the den : and they were devoured in 8 
 moment before his face. 
 
THE P1UYEE OF MANASSES KING OF JUDAH, 
 
 WHEN HE WAS IIOLDEN CAPTIVE IN BABYLON. 
 
 A LORD, Almighty God of our fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and of their righteous seed; who nast made heaven and earth, 
 V ' with all the ornament thereof J who hast bound the sea by the word of thy commandment; who hast shut up the deep, and ( 
 it oy thy terrible and glorious name; whom all men fear, and tremble before thy power; for the majesty of thy glory cannot be b 
 and thine angry threatening towards sinners is importable: but thy merciful promise is unmeasuivable and unsearchable: for thou 
 art the most high Lord, of great compassion, long-suffering, very merciful, and repentest of the evils of men. Thou, () Lord, accord- 
 ing to thy great goodness hast promised repentance and forgiveness to them that have sinned ap dnst thee: and of thine infinite mer- 
 cies hast appointed repentance unto sinners, that they may be saved. Thou therefore* O Lord, that art the God of the just, hast not 
 appointed repentance to the just, as to Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, which have not sinned against thee; but thou hast appointed 
 repentance unto me that am a sinner : for I have sinned above the number of the sands of the sea. My transgressions, Lord, are 
 multiplied: my transgressions are multiplied, and I am not worthy to behold and see the height of heaven for the multitude of mine 
 iniquities. I am bowed down with many iron bands, that I cannot lift up mine head, neither have any release : for I have pro. 
 thy wrath, and done evil before thee : I did not thy will, neither kept I thy commandments: I have set up abominations, and have 
 multiplied' offences. Now therefore I bow the knee of mine heart, beseeching thee of grace. I have sinned, O Lord, I have sinned, 
 and I acknowledge mine iniquities : wherefore I humbly beseech thee, forgive me, Lord, forgive me, and destroy me not with mine 
 iniquities. Re not angry with me for ever, by reserving evil for me; neither condemn me iuto the lower parts of the earth. For 
 thou art the God, even the God of them that repent; and in me thou wilt show all thy goodness : for thou wilt save me, that am un- 
 worthy, according to thy great mercy. Therefore I will praise thee for ever all the days of my life : for all the powers of the heaveus 
 do praise thee, and thine is the glory for ever and ever. Amen. 
 
 THE FIRST BOOK OF THE MACCABEES. 
 
 CHAPTER I. 
 
 14 Antiochus gave leave to set up the fashions of the Gentiles in Jeru- 
 salem, 22 and spoiled it, and the temple in it, 57 and set up therein 
 the abomination of desolation, 03 and slew those that did circumcise 
 their children. 
 
 AND it happened, after that Alexander, son of Philip, the 
 Macedonian, who came out of the land of Chettiim, had 
 smitten Darius king of the Persians and Medes, that he reigned 
 in his stead, the first over Greece, 
 
 3 And made many wars, and won many strong holds, and 
 slew the kings of the earth, 
 
 3 And went through to the ends of the earth, and took spoils 
 of many nations, insomuch that the earth was quiet before him ; 
 whereupon he was exalted, and his heart was lifted up. 
 
 4 And he gathered a mighty strong host, and ruled over 
 countries, and nations, and kings, who became tributaries unto 
 him. 
 
 5 And after these things he fell sick, and perceived that he 
 should die. 
 
 6 Wherefore he called his servants, such as were honourable, 
 and had been brought up with him from his youth, and parted 
 his kingdom among them, while he was yet alive. 
 
 7 So Alexander reigned twelve years, and then died. 
 
 8 And his servants bare rule every one in his place. 
 
 9 And after his death they all put crowns upon themselves ; 
 so did their sons after them many years : and evils were multi- 
 plied in the earth. 
 
 10 And there came out of them a wicked root, Antiochus sur- 
 named Epiphanes, son of Antiochus the king, who had been an 
 hostage at Rome, and he reigned in the hundred and thirty and 
 seventh year of the kingdom of the Greeks. 
 
 11 In those days went there out of Israel wicked men, who 
 persuaded many, saying, Let us go and make a covenant with the 
 heathen that are round about us; for since we departed from 
 them, we have had much sorrow. 
 
 12 So this device pleased them well. 
 
 18 Then certain of the people were so forward herein, that 
 they went to the king, who gave them license to do after the 
 ordinances of the heathen : 
 
 14 Whereupon they built a place of exercise at Jerusalem 
 according to tlm customs of the heathen 
 
 15 And made themselves uncircumcised, and forsook the holy 
 covenant, and joined themselves to the heathen, and were sold to 
 do mischief. 
 
 16 Now when the kingdom was established before Antiochus, 
 he thought to reign over Egypt, that he might have thedominior 
 of two realms. 
 
 17 Wherefore he entered into Egypt with a great multitude, 
 with chariots, and elephants, and horsemen, and a great navy. 
 
 18 And made war against Ptolemee king of Egypt : but 
 Ptolemee was afraid of him, and Tied; and many were wounded 
 to death. 
 
 19 Thus they got the strong cities in the land of Egypt, and 
 he took the spoils thereof. 
 
 20 And after that Antiochus had smitten Egypt, he returned 
 again in the hundred forty and third year, and went up against 
 Israel and Jerusalem with a great multitude, 
 
 21 And entered proudly into the sanctuary, and took away 
 the golden altar, and the candlestick of light, and all the vessels 
 thereof. 
 
 22 And the table of the show-bread, and the pouring vessels, 
 and the vials, and the censers of gold, and the vail, aud the 
 crowns, and the golden ornaments that were before the temple, 
 all which he pulled off. 
 
 23 He took also the silver and the gold, and the precious 
 vessels : also he took the hidden treasures which he found. 
 
 24 And when he had taken all away, he went into his own 
 land, having made a great massacre, and spoken very proudly. 
 
 25 Therefore there was great mourning in Israel, in every 
 place where they were ; 
 
 26 So that the princes and elders mourned, the virgins and 
 young men were made feeble, and the beauty of women was 
 changed. 
 
 27 Every bridegroom took up lamentation, and she that sat in 
 the marriage-chamber was in heaviness. 
 
 28 The land also was moved for the inhabitants thereof, and 
 all the house of Jacob was covered with confusion. 
 
 29 And after two years fully expired, the king sent his chief 
 collector of tribute unto the cities of Juda, who came unto Jeru- 
 salem with a great multitude: 
 
 30 And spake peaceable words unto them, but all was deceit; 
 for when they had given him credence, he fell suddenly upon the 
 city, and smote it very sore, and destroved much people of Israel 
 
 bo

 31 And when he had taken the spoils of the city, he set it on 
 fire, and pulled down the houses and walls thereof on every side. 
 
 32 But the women and children took they captive, and pos- 
 sessed the cattle. 
 
 33 Then builded they the city of. David with a great and 
 strong wall, and with mighty towers, and made it a strong hold 
 for them. 
 
 34 And they put therein a sinful nation, wicked men, and 
 fortified themselves therein. 
 
 35 They stored it also with armour and victuals, and when 
 they had gathered together the spoils of Jerusalem, they laid 
 them up there, and so they became a sore snare : 
 
 36 For it was a place to lie in wait against the sanctuary, and 
 an evil adversary to Israel. 
 
 37 Thus they shed innocent blood on every side of the sanctu- 
 ary, and defiled it : 
 
 33 Insomuch that the inhabitants of Jerusalem fled because 
 of them : whereupon the city was made a habitation of strangers, 
 and became strange to those that were born in her : and her own 
 children left her. 
 
 39 Her sanctuary was laid waste like a wilderness, her feasts 
 were turned into mourning, her sabbaths into reproach, her 
 honour into contempt. 
 
 40 As had been her glory, so was her dishonour increased, and 
 her excellency was turned into mourning. 
 
 41 Moreover king Antiochus wrote to his whole kingdom, that 
 all should be one people, 
 
 42 And every one should leave his laws : so all the heathen 
 agreed according to the commandment of the king. 
 
 43 Yea, many also of the Israelites consented to his religion, 
 and sacrificed unto idols, aud profaned the sabbath. 
 
 44 For the king had sent letters by messengers unto Jerusa- 
 lem and the cities of Juda, that they should follow the strange 
 laws of the land, 
 
 45 And forbid burnt-offerings, and sacrifices, and drink-ofier- 
 ings, in the temple; and that they should profane the sabbaths 
 and festival days : 
 
 46 And pollute the sanctuary and holy people : 
 
 47 Set up altars, and groves, and chapels of idols, and sacrifice 
 swine's flesh, and unclean beasts : 
 
 48 That they should also leave their children uncircumcised, 
 and make their souls abominable with all manner of uncleanness 
 and profanation : 
 
 49 To the end they might forget the law, and change all the 
 ordinances. 
 
 50 And whosoever would not do according to the command- 
 ment of the king, he said, he should die. 
 
 51 In the self-same manner wrote he to his whole kingdom, 
 inid appointed overseers over all the people, commanding the 
 cities of Juda to sacrifice, city by city. 
 
 52 Then many of the people were gathered unto them, to wit, 
 every one that forsook the law; and so they committed evils in 
 the land ; 
 
 53 And drove the Israelites into secret places, even whereso- 
 ver they could flee for succour. 
 
 54 Now the fifteenth day of the month Casleu, in the hundred 
 orty and fifth year, they set up the abomination of desolation 
 
 upon the altar, and builded idol-altars throughout the cities of 
 Juda on every side ; 
 
 55 And burnt incense at the doors of their houses, and in the 
 streets. 
 
 56 And when they had rent in pieces the books of the law 
 which they found, they burnt them with fire. 
 
 57 And wheresoever was found with any the book of the tes- 
 tament, or if any consented to the law, the king's commandment 
 was, that they should put him to death. 
 
 58 Thus did they by their authority unto the Israelites every 
 month, to as many as were found in the cities. 
 
 59 Now the five and twentieth day of the month they did 
 sacrifice upon the idol-altar, which was upon the altar of God. 
 
 60 At which time according to the commandment they put to 
 
 86 
 
 death certain women, that had caused their children to be cir- 
 cumcised. 
 
 61 And they hanged the infants about their necks, and rifled 
 their houses, and slew them that had circumcised them. 
 
 62 Howbeit many in Israel were fully resolved and confirmed 
 in themselves not to eat any unclean thing. 
 
 63 Wherefore they chose rather to die, that they might nor 
 be defiled with meats, and that they might not profane the holy 
 covenant : so then they died. 
 
 64 And there was very great wrath upon Israel. 
 
 CHAPTER II. 
 
 6 Mattathias lamenteth the case of Jerusalem: 24 He slayeth a Jew 
 that did sacrifice to idols in his presence, and the king's messenger 
 also : 34 he and his are. assailed on the sabbath, and make no resist- 
 ance: 50 he dieth, and instructeth. his sons; 06 and maketh their 
 brother Judas Maccabeus general. 
 
 IN those days arose Mattathias the son of John the son of Simeon. 
 a priest of the sons of Joarib, from Jerusalem, and dwelt in 
 Modin. 
 
 2 And he had five sons, Joannan, called Caddis : 
 
 3 Simon, called Thassi : 
 
 4 Judas, who was called Maccabeus : 
 
 5 Eleazar, called A varan : and Jonathan, whose surname wa? 
 Apphus. 
 
 6 And when he saw the blasphemies that were committed in 
 Juda and Jerusalem, 
 
 7 He said, Woe is me ! wherefore was I born to see this 
 misery of my people, and of the holy city, and to dwell there, 
 when it was delivered into the hand of the enemy, and the sanc- 
 tuary into the hand of strangers ? 
 
 8 Her temple is become as a man without glory. 
 
 9 Her glorious vessels are carried away into captivity, hei 
 infants are slain in the streets, her young men with the sword of 
 the enemy. 
 
 10 What nation hath not had a part in her kingdom, and 
 gotten of her spoils ? 
 
 11 All her ornaments are taken away; of a free woman she 
 is become a bond-slave. 
 
 12 And behold, our sanctuary, even our beauty and our glory, 
 is laid waste, and the Gentiles have profaned it. 
 
 13 To what end therefore shall we live any longer ? 
 
 14 Then Mattathias and his sons rent their clothes, and pu>. 
 on sackcloth, and mourned very sore. 
 
 15 In the mean while the king's officers, such as compelled 
 the people to revolt, came into the city Modin, to make them 
 sacrifice. 
 
 16 And when many of Israel came unto them, Mattathias 
 also and his sons came together. 
 
 17 Then answered the king's officers, and said to Mattathias 
 on this wise, Thou art a ruler, and an honourable and great man 
 in this city, and strengthened with sons and brethren : 
 
 18 Now therefore come thou first, and fulfil the king's com- 
 mandment, like as all the heathen have done, yea, and the men 
 of Juda also, and such as remain at Jerusalem : so s^alt thcu 
 and thy house be in the number of the king's friends, and thxj 
 and thy children shall be honoured with silver and gold, an 1 
 many rewards. 
 
 19 Then Mattathias answered and spake with a loud voice. 
 Though all the nations that are under the king's dominion obey 
 him, aud fall away every one from the religion of their fathers, 
 and give consent to his commandments : 
 
 20 Yet will I and my sons and my brethren walk in tha cove- 
 nant of our fathers. 
 
 21 God forbid that we should forsake the law and the ordi- 
 nances. 
 
 22 We will not hearken to the king's words, to go irom our 
 religion, either on the right hand, or the left. 
 
 23 Now when he had left speaking these words, there canio 
 one of the Jews in the sight of all to sacrifice on the altar which 
 was at Modin, according tc the king's commandment. 
 
Ap<xjT7pn» 
 
 <:iiAr. in 
 
 Apocrypha. 
 
 '24 Which tiling when Mattathias saw, he was inflamed with 
 real, and his reins trembled, neither could he forbear to show his 
 anger according to judgment: wherefore he ran, and slew him 
 upon the altar. 
 
 25 Also the king's commissioner, who compelled men to sac- 
 rifice, he killed at that time, and the altar he pulled down. 
 
 20 Thus dealt he zealously for the law of God, like as Phinecs 
 did unto Zambri the son of Saloin. 
 
 27 And Mattathias cried throughout the city with a loud voice, 
 Baying, Whosoever is zealous of the law, and maiutaineth the 
 covenant, let him follow me. 
 
 28 So he and his sons fled into the mountains, and left all that 
 ever they had in the city. 
 
 29 Then many that sought after justice and judgment went 
 down into the wilderness, to dwell there : 
 
 80 Both they, and their children, and their wives, and their 
 cattle; because afflictions increased sore upon them. 
 
 31 Now when it was told the king's servants, and the host 
 that was at Jerusalem, in the city of David, that certain men, 
 who had broken the king's commandment, were gone down into 
 the secret places in the wilderness, 
 
 32 They pursued after them a great number, and having 
 overtaken them, they camped against them, and made war against 
 them on the sabbath-day. 
 
 33 And they said unto them, Let that which ye have done 
 hitherto suffice; come forth, and do according to the command- 
 ment of the king, and ye shall live. 
 
 34 But they said, We will not come forth, neither will we 
 do the king's commandment, to profane the sabbath-day. 
 
 35 So then they gave them the battle with all speed. 
 
 36 Howbeit they answered them not, neither cast they a stone 
 at them, nor stopped the places where they lay hid; 
 
 37 But said, Let us die all in our innocency : heaven and 
 earth shall testify for us, that ye put us to death wrongfully. 
 
 38 So they rose up against them in battle on the sabbath, and 
 they slew them, with their wives and children, and their cattle, 
 to the number of a thousand people. 
 
 39 Now when Mattathias and his friends understood hereof, 
 they mourned for them right sore. 
 
 40 And one of them said to another, If we all do as our 
 brethren have done, aud fight not for our lives and laws against 
 the heathen, they will now quickly root us out of the earth. 
 
 41 At that time therefore they decreed, saying, Whosoever 
 shall come to make battle with us on the sabbath-day, we will 
 light against him ; neither will we die all, as our brethren that 
 were murdered in the secret places. 
 
 42 Then came there unto him a company of Assideans, who 
 were mighty men of Israel, even all such as were voluntarily de- 
 voted unto the law. 
 
 43 Also all they that fled for persecution joined themselves 
 unto them, and were a stay unto them. 
 
 44 So they joined their forces, and smote sinful men in their 
 anger, and wicked men in their wrath : but the rest fled to the 
 heathen for succour. 
 
 45 Then Mattathias and his friends went round about, and 
 pulled down the altars : 
 
 46 And what children soever they found within the coast of 
 Israel uncircumcised, those they circumcised valiantly. 
 
 47 They pursued also after the proud men, and the work 
 prospered in their hand. 
 
 48 So they recovered the law out of the hand of the Gentiles, and 
 out of the hand of kings, neither suffered they the sinner to triumph. 
 
 49 Now when the time drew near that Mattathias should die, 
 he said unto his sons, Now hath pride and rebuke gotten strength, 
 and the time of destruction, and the wrath of indignation : 
 
 50 Now therefore, my sons, be ye zealous for the law, and 
 give your lives for the covenant of your fathers. 
 
 51 Call to remembrance what acts our fathers did in their 
 time ; so shall ye receive great honour and an everlasting name. 
 
 52 Was not Abraham found faithful in temptation, and it was 
 Imputed unLo him for righteousness? 
 
 t>') Joseph in the time of his distress kept the commandment. 
 and was made lord of Egypt. 
 
 54 Phinees our father in being zealous and fervent obtained 
 the covenant of an everlasting priesthood. 
 
 55 Jesus for fulfilling the word was made a judge in Israel. 
 
 56 Caleb for bearing witness before the congregation received 
 the heritage of the laud. 
 
 57 David for being merciful possessed the throne of an ever- 
 lasting kingdom. 
 
 58 Elias for being zealous and fervent for the law was taken 
 up into heaven. 
 
 59 Ananias, Azarias, and Misacl, by believing were saved out 
 of the flame. 
 
 60 Daniel for his innocency was delivered from the mouth of 
 lions. 
 
 61 And thus consider ye throughout all ages, that none that 
 put their trust in him shall be overcome. 
 
 62 Fear not then the words of a sinful man : for his glory 
 shall be dung and worms. 
 
 63 To-day he shall be lifted up, and to-morrow he shall not 
 be found, because he is returned into his dust, and his thought is 
 come to nothing. 
 
 64 Wherefore, ye my sons, be valiant, and show yourselves 
 men in the behalf of the law; for by it shall ye obtain glory. 
 
 65 And behold, I know that your brother Simon is a man of 
 counsel, give ear unto him always : he shall be a father unto 
 you. 
 
 66 As for Judas Maccabeus, he hath been mighty and strong, 
 even from his youth up : let him be your captain, and fight the 
 battle of the people. 
 
 67 Take also unto you all those that observe the law, and 
 avenge ye the wrong of your people. 
 
 68 Recompense fully the heathen, and take heed to the com- 
 mandments of the law. 
 
 69 So he blessed them, and was gathered to his fathers. 
 
 70 And he died in the hundred forty and sixth year, and his 
 sons buried him in the sepulchres of his fathers at Modin, and 
 all Israel made great lamentation for him. 
 
 CHAPTER III. 
 
 1 The valour and fame of Judas Maccabeus: 10 He overthroweth the 
 forces of Samaria and Syria. 27 Antiochus sendeth a great power 
 against him. 44 He, and his, fall to fasting and prayer, 58 and are 
 encouraged. 
 
 THEN his son Judas, called Maccabeus, rose up in his stead. 
 2 And all his brethren helped him, and so did all they that 
 held with his father, and they fought with cheerfulness the battle 
 of Israel. 
 
 3 So he gat his people great honour, and put on a breast-plate 
 as a giant, and girt his warlike harness about him, and he made 
 battles, protecting the host with his sword. 
 
 4 In his acts lie was like a lion, and like a lion's whelp roar- 
 ing for his prey. 
 
 5 For he pursued the wicked, and sought them out, and burnt 
 up those that vexed his people. 
 
 6 Wherefore the wicked shrunk for fear of him, and all the 
 workers of iniquity were troubled, because salvatiou prospered in 
 his hand. 
 
 7 He grieved also many kings, and made Jacob glad with his 
 acts, and his memorial is blessed for ever. 
 
 8 Moreover he went through the cities of Juda, destroying the 
 ungodly out of them, and turning away wrath from Israel : 
 
 9 So that he was renowned unto the utmost part of the earth, 
 and he received unto him such as were ready to perish. 
 
 10 Then Apollonius gathered the Gentiles together, and a 
 great host out of Samaria, to fight against Israel. 
 
 11 Which thing when Judas perceived, he went forth to meet 
 him, and so he smote him, and slew him : many also fell down 
 slain, but the rest fled. 
 
 12 Wherefore Judas took their spoils, and Apollonius' sword 
 also, and therewith he fought all his life lorn*

 13 Now when Scron, a prince i f tlie army of Syria, heard say 
 that Judas had gathered unto him a multitude and company of 
 the faithful to go out with him to war: 
 
 14 lie said, 1 will get me a name and honour in the kingdom; 
 for I will sro fijrht with Judas and them that arc with him, who 
 Jcspise the king's commandment. 
 
 15 So he made him ready to go up, and there went with him 
 a mighty host of the ungodly to help him, and to he avenged of 
 
 he children of Israel. 
 
 16 And when he came near to the going up of Beth-horon, 
 Judas went forth to meet him with a small company : 
 
 17 Who, when they saw the host coming to meet them, said 
 unto Judas, How shall we be able, being so few, to fight against 
 so great a multitude and so strong, seeing we are ready to faint 
 with fasting all this day ? 
 
 18 Unto whom Judas answered, It is do hard matter for many 
 to be shut up in the hands of a few : and with the God of heaven 
 it is all one, to deliver with a great multitude, or a small company : 
 
 19 For the victory of battle standeth not in the multitude of 
 'i host : but strength cometh from heaven. 
 
 20 They come against us in much pride and iniquity to de- 
 stro}' us, and our wives and children, and to spoil us : 
 
 21 But we fight for our lives and our laws. 
 
 22 Wherefore the Lord himself will overthrow them before 
 our face : and as for you, be ye not afraid of them. 
 
 23 Now as soon as he had left off speaking, he leaped suddenly 
 upon them, and so Seron and his host was overthrown before him. 
 
 21 And they pursued them from the going down of Beth- 
 horon unto the plain, where were slain about eight hundred men 
 of them ; and the residue fled into the land of the Philistines. 
 
 25 Then began the fear of Judas and his brethren, and an 
 exceeding great dread, to fall upon the nations round about 
 them: 
 
 26 Insomuch as his fame came unto the king, and all nations 
 talked of the battles of Judas. 
 
 27 Now when king Antiochus heard these things, he was full 
 of indignation : wherefore he sent and gathered together all the 
 forces of his realm, even a very strong army. 
 
 28 He opened also his treasure, and gave his soldiers pay for 
 a year, commanding them to be ready whensoever he should need 
 them. 
 
 29 Nevertheless, when he saw that the money of his treasures 
 failed, and that the tributes in the country were small, because 
 of the dissension and plague which he had brought upon the 
 land, in taking away the laws which had been of old time; 
 
 30 He feared that he should not be able to bear the charges 
 any longer, nor to have such gifts to give so liberally as he did 
 before : for he had abounded above the kings that were before 
 him. 
 
 31 Wherefore, being greatly perplexed in his mind, he deter- 
 mined to go into Persia, there to take the tributes of the coun- 
 tries, and to gather much money. 
 
 82 So he left Lysias, a nobleman, and one of the blood royal, 
 to oversee the affairs of the king from the river Euphrates unto 
 he borders of Egypt : 
 
 33 And to bring up his son Antiochus, until he came again. 
 
 34 Moreover, he delivered unto him the half of his forces, and 
 the elephants, and gave him charge of all things that he would 
 have done, as also concerning them that dwelt in Juda and Jeru- 
 salem : 
 
 35 To wit, that he should send an army against them, to 
 destroy and root out the strength of Israel, and the remnant of 
 Jerusalem, and to take away their memorial from that place; 
 
 36 And that he should place strangers in all their quarters, 
 and divide their land by lot. 
 
 87 So the king took the half of the forces that remained, and 
 departed from Antioch, his royal city, the hundred forty and 
 seventh year; and having passed the river Euphrates, he went 
 through the high countries. 
 
 38 Then Lysias chose Ptolemee the son of Dorymencs, and 
 N'ioEHor, and Gorgias, mighty men of the king's friends : 
 
 88 
 
 39 And with them he sent forty thousand footmen, and eeveD 
 thousand horsemen, to go into the land of Juda, and to destroy 
 it, as the king commanded. 
 
 40 So they went forth with all their power, and came anrf 
 pitched by Emmaus in the plain country. 
 
 41 And the merchants of the country, hearing the fame of 
 them, took silver and gold very much, with servants, and 3am< 
 into the camp to buy the children of Israel for slaves: a powe' 
 also of Syria and of the land of the Philistines joined themselves 
 unto them. 
 
 42 Now when Judas and his brethren saw that miseries wire 
 multiplied, and that the forces did encamp themselves in their 
 borders; for they knew how the king had given commandment 
 to destroy the people, and utterly abolish them ; 
 
 43 They said one to another, Let us restore the decayed estate 
 of our people, and let us fight for our people and the sanctuary. 
 
 44 Then was the congregation gathered together, that they 
 might be ready for battle, and that they might pray, and ask 
 mercy and compassion. 
 
 45 Now Jerusalem lay void as a wilderness, there was non» 
 of her children that went in or out : the sanctuary also was trod- 
 den down, and aliens kept the strong hold; the heathen had 
 their habitation in that place ; and joy was taken from Jacob, 
 and the pipe with the harp ceased. 
 
 46 Wherefore the Israelites assembled themselves together, 
 and came to Maspha, over against Jerusalem; for in Maspha 
 was the place where they prayed aforetime in Israel. 
 
 47 Then they fasted that day, and put on sackcloth, and cast 
 ashes upon their heads, and rent their clothes, 
 
 48 And laid open the book of the law, wherein the heathen 
 had sought to paint the likeness of their images. 
 
 49 They brought also the priests' garments, and the first-fruits, 
 and the tithes : and the Nazarites they stirred up, who had ac- 
 complished their days. 
 
 50 Then cried they with a loud voice towards heaven, saying, 
 What shall we do with these, and whither shall we carry them 
 away ? 
 
 51 For thy sanctuary is trodden down and profaned, and thy 
 priests are in heaviness, and brought low. 
 
 52 And lo, the heathen are assembled together against us to 
 destroy us : what things they imagine against us, thou knowest. 
 
 53 How shall we be able to stand agaiust them, except thou, 
 O God, be our help ? 
 
 54 Then sounded they with trumpets, and cried with a loud 
 voice. 
 
 55 And after this Judas ordained captains over the people, 
 even captains over thousands, and over hundreds, and over fifties, 
 and over tens. 
 
 56 But as for such as were building houses, or had betrothed 
 wives, or were planting vineyards, or were fearful, those he com- 
 manded that they should return, every man to his own house, 
 according to the law. 
 
 57 So the camp removed, and pitched upon the south side of 
 Emmaus. 
 
 58 And Judas said, Arm yourselves, and be valiant men, ana 
 see that ye he in readiness against the morning, that ye may 
 fight with these nations, that are assembled together against us to 
 destroy us and our sanctuary : 
 
 59 For it is better for us to die in battle, than to behold the 
 calamities of our people and our sanctuary. 
 
 60 Nevertheless, as the will of God is in heaven, so let him do. 
 
 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 6 Judas defeateth the plot, 14 and forces of Gorgias, 23 and spoileth 
 their tents, 34 and overthroweth Lysias: 45 He pulleth down the 
 altar which the heathen had profaned, and setteth up a new one- 
 60 and maketh a wall about Sion. 
 
 rPHEN took Gorgias five thousand footmen, and a thousand cf 
 
 J- the best horsemen, and removed out of the camp by night; 
 
 2 To the end he might rush in upon the camp of the Jews.

 and smite them suddenly. And the men of the fortress were 
 his guides. 
 
 i> Now when Judas heard thereof, he himself removed, and 
 the valiant men with him, that he might sniite the king's army 
 which was at Kminaus, 
 
 4 While as yet the forecs were dispersed from the camp. 
 
 5 In the mean season came Gorgias by night into the camp 
 of Judas: and when he found no man there, he sought them in 
 the mountains: for said he, These fellows flee from us. 
 
 6 But as soon as it was day, Judas showed himself in the plain 
 with three thousand men, who nevertheless had neither armour 
 uor swords to their minds. 
 
 7 And they saw the camp of the heathen, that it was strong 
 nnd well harnessed, and compassed round about with horsemen; 
 and these were expert of war. 
 
 8 Then said Judas to the men that were with him, Fear ye 
 not their multitude, neither be ye afraid of their assault. 
 
 9 lteiuember how our fathers were delivered in the lied Sea, 
 when Pharaoh pursued them with an army. 
 
 10 Now therefore let us cry unto heaven, if peradventure the 
 Lord will have mercy upon us, and remember the covenant of 
 our fathers, and destroy this host before our face this day : 
 
 11 That so all the heathen may know that there is one who 
 delivcreth and saveth Israel. 
 
 12 Then the strangers lifted up their eyes, and saw them coin- 
 ing over against them. 
 
 13 Wherefore they went out of the camp to battle; but they 
 that were with Judas sounded their trumpets. 
 
 14 So they joined battle, and the heathen being discomfited 
 fled into the plain. 
 
 15 Howbeit all the hindmost of them were slain with the 
 sword : for they pursued them unto Gazera, and unto the plains 
 of Idumea, and Azotus, and Janinia, so that there were slain of 
 them about three thousand men. 
 
 16 This done, Judas returned again with his host from pur- 
 suing them, 
 
 17 And said to the people, Be not greedy of the spoils, inas- 
 much as there is a battle before us, 
 
 18 And Gorgias and his host are here by us in the mountain : 
 but stand ye now against our enemies, and overcome them, and 
 after this ye may boldly take the spoils. 
 
 19 As Judas was yet speaking these words, there appeared a 
 part of them loeking out of the mountain : 
 
 20 Who when they perceived that the Jews had put their 
 host to flight, and were burning the tents ; for the smoke that 
 was seen declared what was done : 
 
 21 When therefore they perceived these things, they were 
 sore afraid, and seeing also the host of Judas in the plain ready 
 to fight, 
 
 22 They fled every one into the land of strangers. 
 
 23 Then Judas returned to spoil the tents, where they got 
 much gold, and silver, and blue silk, and purple of the sea, and 
 great riches. 
 
 24 After this they went home, and sung a song of thanks- 
 giving, and praised the Lord in heaven : because it is good, be- 
 cause his mercy endure th for ever. 
 
 25 Thus Israel had a great deliverance that day. 
 
 26 Now all the strangers that had escaped came and told 
 Lysias what had happened : 
 
 27 Who, when he heard thereof, was confounded and discour- 
 aged, because neither such things as he would were done unto 
 Israel, nor such things as the king commanded him were come 
 to pass. 
 
 28 The next year therefore following, Lysias gathered together 
 threescore thousand choice men of font, and five thousand horse- 
 men, that he might subdue them. 
 
 2!) So they came into Idumca, and pitched their tents at Beth- 
 sura, and Judas met them with teu thousand men. 
 
 30 And when he saw that mighty army, he prayed, and said, 
 Blessed art thou, Saviour of Israel, who didst quell the vio- 
 lence of the mighty man by th° hand of thy servant David, and 
 
 M 
 
 gavest the host of strangers into the hands of Jonathan the son 
 of Saul, and his armour-bearer; 
 
 31 Shut up this army in the hand of thy people Israel, and 
 let them bo confounded in their power and horsemen : 
 
 32 Make them to be of do courage, and cause the boldm 
 their strength to fall away, and let them quake at their destruction : 
 
 33 Cast them down with the sword of them that love thee, 
 and let all those that know thy name praise thee with thanks- 
 giving. 
 
 34 So they joined battle; and there were slain of the hi 
 Lysias about five thousand men, even before them were thi y slain. 
 
 35 Now when Lysias saw his army put to flight, and the man- 
 liness of Judas' soldiers, and how they were ready either to live 
 or die valiantly, he went into Autiochia, and gathered together 
 a company of strangers, and having made his army greater than 
 it was, he purposed to come again uuto Judca. 
 
 36 Then said Judas and his brethren, Behold, our enemies are 
 discomfited : let us go up to cleanse and dedicate the sanctuary. 
 
 37 Upon this all the host assembled themselves together, and 
 went up into mount Sion. 
 
 38 And when they saw the sanctuary desolate, and the altar 
 profaned, and the gates burned up, and shrubs growing in the 
 courts as in a forest, or in one of the mountains, yea, and the 
 priests' chambers pulled down, 
 
 39 They rent their clothes, and made great lamentation, and 
 cast ashes upon their heads, 
 
 40 And fell down flat to the ground upon their faces, and blew 
 an alarm with the trumpets, and cried towards heaven. 
 
 41 Then Judas appointed certain men to fight against those 
 that were in the fortress, until he had cleansed the sanctuary. 
 
 42 So he «hose priests of blameless conversation, such as had 
 pleasure in the law : 
 
 43 Who cleansed the sanctuary, and bare out the defiled stones 
 unto an unclean place. 
 
 44 And when as they consulted what to do with the altar of 
 burnt-offerings, which was profaned ; 
 
 45 They thought it best to pull it down, lest it should be a 
 reproach to them, because the heathen had defiled it : wherefore 
 they pulled it down, 
 
 46 And laid up the stones in the mountain of the temple in a 
 convenient place, until there should come a prophet to show 
 what should be done with them. 
 
 47 Then they took whole stones according to the law, and 
 built a uew altar according to the former; 
 
 48 And made up the sanctuary, and the things that were 
 within the temple, and hallowed the courts. 
 
 49 They made also new holy vessels, and into the temple they 
 brought the candlestick and the altar of burnt-offerings, and of 
 incense, and the table. 
 
 50 And upon the altar they burned incense, and the lamps 
 that were upon the candlestick they lighted, that they might give 
 light in the temple. 
 
 51 Furthermore they set the loaves upon the table, and spread 
 out the vails, and finished all the works which they had b ;guu 
 to make. 
 
 52 Now on the five and twentieth day of the ninth month, 
 which is called the month Casleu, in the hundred forty and 
 eighth year, they rose up betimes in the morning, 
 
 53 And offered sacrifice according to the law upon the new 
 altar of burnt-offerings, which they had made. 
 
 54 Look, at what time and what day the heathen had profaned 
 it, even in that was it dedicated with songs, and citherns, and 
 harps, and cymbals. 
 
 55 Then all the people fell upon their faces, worshipping and 
 praising the God of heaven, who had given them good success. 
 
 56 And so they kept the dedication of the altar eight days, 
 and offered burnt-offerings with gladness, and sacrificed the sacri- 
 fice of deliverance and praise. 
 
 57 They decked also the fore-front of the temple with crowns 
 of gold, and with shields ; and the gates and the chambers they 
 renewed, and hanged doors upon them.

 58 Thus was there very great gladness among the people, for 
 that the reproach of the heathen was put away. 
 
 59 Moreover Judas and his brethren with the whole congre- 
 gation of Israel ordained, that the days of the dedication of the 
 altar should be kept in their season from year to year by the 
 space of eight days, from the five and twentieth day of the month 
 Caslcu, with mirth and gladuess. 
 
 GO At that time also they buildcd up the mount Sion with 
 bi'di walls and strong towers round about, lest the Gentiles should 
 come and tread it down, as they had done before. 
 
 61 Aud they set there a garrison to keep it, and fortified Bcth- 
 sura to preserve it; that the people might have a defence against 
 Idumea. 
 
 CHAPTER V. 
 
 3 Judas smiteth the children of Esau, Bean, and Ammon. 17 Simon 
 is sent into Galilee. 25 The exploits of Judas in Galaad: 51 He 
 destroyeth Ephron for denying him to pass through it. 56 Divers, 
 that in Judas' absence would tight with their enemies, are slain. 
 
 NOW when the nations round about heard that the altar was 
 built, and the sanctuary renewed as before, it displeased 
 them very much. 
 
 2 Wherefore they thought to destroy the generation of Jacob 
 that was among them, and thereupon they began to slay and de- 
 stroy the people. 
 
 3 Then Judas fought against the children of Esau in Idumea 
 at Arabattine, because they besieged Israel : and he gave them a 
 great overthrow, and abated their courage, and took their spoils. 
 
 4 Also he remembered the injury of the children of Bean, 
 who had been a snare and an offence unto the people, in that 
 they lay in wait for them in the ways 
 
 5 He shut them up therefore in the towers, and encamped 
 against them, and destroyed them utterly, and burned the towers 
 of that place with fire, and all that were therein. 
 
 6 Afterward he passed over to the children of Ammon, where 
 he found a mighty power, and much people, with Timotheus their 
 captain. 
 
 7 So he fought many battles with them, till at length they 
 were discomfited before him ; and he smote them. 
 
 8 And when he had taken Jazar, with the towns belonging 
 thereto, he returned into Judea. 
 
 9 Then the heathen that were at Galaad assembled themselves 
 together against the Israelites that were in their quarters, to de- 
 stroy them, but they fled to the fortress of Dathema, 
 
 10 And sent letters unto Judas and his brethren, The heathen 
 that are round about us are assembled together against us to 
 destroy us : 
 
 11 And they are preparing to come and take the fortress 
 whereunto we are fled, Timotheus being captain of their host. 
 
 12 Come now therefore, and deliver us from their hands, for 
 many of us are slain : 
 
 13 Yea, all our brethren that were in the places of Tobie are 
 put to death : their wives and their children also they have 
 carried away captives, and borne away their stuff; and they have 
 lestroyed there about a thousand men. 
 
 14 While these letters were yet reading, behold, there came 
 thcr messengers from Galilee with their clothes rent, who re- 
 ported on this wise, 
 
 15 Aud said, They of Ptolemais, and of Tyrus, and Sidon, 
 and all Galilee of the Gentiles, are assembled together against 
 us to consume us. 
 
 16 Now when Judas and the people heard these words, there 
 assembled a great congregation together, to consult what they 
 should do for their brethren, that were in trouble, and assaulted 
 of them. 
 
 17 Then said Judas unto Simon his brother, Choose thee out 
 men, and go and deliver thy brethren that are in Galilee, for I 
 and Jonathan my brother will go into the country of Galaad. 
 
 18 So he left Joseph the son of Zacharias, and Azarias, cap- 
 tains of the people, with the remnant of the host in Judea to 
 keep it. 
 
 90 
 
 19 Unto whom he gave commandment, saying, Take ye the 
 charge of this people, and see that ye make not war against tho 
 heathen until the time that we come again. 
 
 20 Now unto Simon were given three thousand men to go 
 into Galilee, and unto Judas eight thousand men for the country 
 of Galaad. 
 
 21 Then went Simon into Galilee, where he fought many battles 
 with the heathen, so that the heathen were discomfited by him. 
 
 22 And he pursued them unto the gate of Ptolemais; and 
 there were slain of the heathen about three thousand men, whose 
 spoils he took. 
 
 23 And those that were in Galilee, and in Arbattis, with their 
 wives and their children, and all that they had, took he away 
 with him, and brought them into Judea with great joy 
 
 24 Judas Maccabeus also and his brother Jonathan went over 
 Jordan, and travelled three day's journey in the wilderness, 
 
 25 Where they met with the Nabathites, who came unto them 
 in peaceable manner, and told them every thing that had hap- 
 pened to their brethren in the land of Galaad : 
 
 26 And how that many of them were shut up in Bosora, and 
 Bosor, and Alema, Caspor, Maked, and Carnaim ; all these cities . 
 are strong and great : 
 
 27 And that they were shut up in the rest of the cities of the 
 country of Galaad, and that against to-morrow they had appointed 
 to bring their hosts against the forts, and to take them, and to 
 destroy them all in one day. 
 
 28 Hereupon Judas and his host turned suddenly by the way 
 of the wilderness unto Bosora; and when he had won the city, 
 he slew all the males with the edge of the sword, and took all 
 their spoils, and burned the city with fire. 
 
 29 From whence he removed by night, and went till he came 
 to the fortress. 
 
 30 And betimes in the morning they looked up, and behold, 
 there was an innumerable people bearing ladders and othei 
 engines of war, to take the fortress: for they assaulted them. 
 
 31 When Judas therefore saw that the battle was begun, and 
 that the cry of the city went up to heaven, with trumpets, and a 
 great sound, 
 
 32 He said unto his host, Fight this day for your brethren. 
 
 33 So he went forth behind them in three companies, who 
 sounded their trumpets, and cried with prayer. 
 
 34 Then the host of Timotheus, knowing that it was Macca- 
 beus, fled from him : wherefore he smote them with a great 
 slaughter ; so that there were killed of them that day about eight 
 thousand men. 
 
 35 This done, Judas turned aside to Maspba; and after he 
 had assaulted it, he took it, and slew all the males therein, and 
 received the spoils thereof, and burned it with fire. 
 
 36 From thence went he, and took Casphon, Maged, Bosor, 
 and the other cities of the country of Galaad: 
 
 37 After these things gathered Timotheus another host, and 
 encamped against Raphon beyond the brook. 
 
 38 So Judas sent men to espy the host, who brought him 
 word, saying, All the heathen that be round about us are as- 
 sembled unto them, even a very great host. 
 
 39 He hath also hired the Arabians to help them, and hey 
 have pitched their tents beyond the brook, ready to come and 
 fight against thee. Upon this Judas went to meet them. 
 
 40 Then Timotheus said unto the captains of his host, When 
 Judas and his host come near the brook, if he pass over first unto 
 us, we shall not be able to withstand him ; for he will mightily 
 prevail against us : 
 
 41 But if he be afraid, and camp beyond the river, we shall 
 go over unto him, and prevail against him. 
 
 42 Now when Judas came near the brook, he caused the 
 scribes of the people to remain by the brook : unto whom ho 
 gave commandment, saying, Suffer no man to remain in the camp, 
 but let all come to the battle. 
 
 43 So he went first over unto them, and all the people after 
 him : then all the heathen, being discomfited before him, east 
 away their weapons, aud fled unto the temple that was at Camuinj 
 
Apocrypha. 
 
 chap. vi. 
 
 Ai»jLiy t p%. 
 
 44 But they took the city, and burned the temple with all 
 that were therein. Thus was Carnaim subdued, neither could 
 they stand any longer before Judas. 
 
 45 Then Judas gathered together all the Israelites that were 
 in the couutry of Gakuid, from the least unto the greatest, eveu 
 their wives, and their children, and their stuif, a very great host, 
 to the cud they might come into the laud of Judea. 
 
 40 Now wheu they came unto Ephron, (this was a great city 
 in the way as they should go, very well fortified,) they could not 
 turn from it, either on the right hand or the left, but must needs 
 pass through the midst of it. 
 
 47 Theu they of the city shut them out, and stopped up the 
 gates with stones. 
 
 48 Whereupon Judas sent unto them in peaceable manner, 
 paying, Let us pass through your land to go into our own country, 
 and none shall do you any hurt; we will only pass through on 
 foot :'howbeit they would not open unto him. 
 
 49 Wherefore Judas commanded a proclamation to be made 
 throughout the host, that every man shouid pitch his tent in the 
 place where he was. 
 
 50 So the soldiers pitched, and assaulted the city all that day 
 and all that night, till at length the city was delivered into his 
 hands : 
 
 51 Who then slew all the males with the edge of the sword, 
 and razed the city, and took the spoils thereof, and passed through 
 die city over them that were slain. 
 
 52 After this went they over Jordan into the great plain be- 
 fore Bethsan. 
 
 53 And Judas gathered together those that came behind, and 
 exhorted the people all the way through, till they came into the 
 land of Judea. 
 
 54 So they went up to mount Sion with joy and gladness, 
 where they offered burnt-offerings, because not one -of them were 
 slain until they had returned in peace. 
 
 55 Now what time as Judas and Jonathan were in the land 
 of Galaad, and Simon his brother in Galilee before Ptoleinais, 
 
 56 Joseph the son of Zacharias, and Azarias, captains of the 
 garrisons, heard of the valiant acts and warlike deeds which they 
 had done. 
 
 57 Wherefore they said, Let us also get us a name, and go 
 fight against the heathen that are round about us. 
 
 58 So when they had given charge unto the garrison that was 
 with them, they went towards Jamuia. 
 
 59 Then came Gorgias and his men out of the city to fight 
 against them. 
 
 60 And so it was, that Joseph and Azarias were put to flight, 
 and pursued unto the borders of Judea : and there were slain 
 that day of the people of Israel about two thousand men. 
 
 61 Thus was there a great overthrow among the children of 
 Israel, because they were not obedient unto Judas and his 
 brethren, but thought to do some valiant act. 
 
 62 Moreover these men came not of the seed of those, by 
 whose hand deliverance was given unto Israel. 
 
 63 Howbeit the man Judas and his brethren were greatly 
 renowned in the sight of all Israel, and of all the heathen, where- 
 soever their name was heard of; 
 
 64 Insomuch as the people assembled unto them with joyful 
 acclamations. 
 
 65 Afterward went Judas forth with his brethren, and fought 
 against the children of Esau in the land towards the south, where 
 he smote Hebron, and the towns thereof, and pulled down the 
 fortress of it, and burned the towers thereof round about. 
 
 66 From thence he removed to go into the land of the Philis- 
 tines, and passed through Samaria. 
 
 67 At that time certain priests, desirous to show their valour, 
 were slain in battle, for that they weut out to fight unad- 
 visedly. 
 
 68 So Judas turned to Azotus in the land of the Philistines, 
 and when he had pulled down their altars, and burned their 
 carved images with fire, and spoiled their cities, he returned into 
 the land o f Judea. 
 
 CHAPTER VI.

 A BOUT that time king Antiochus travelling through the high 
 -lX countries heard say, that Elymais in the country of Persia 
 was a city greatly renowned for riches, silver, and gold; 
 
 2 And that there was in it a very rich temple, wherein we <s 
 coverings of gold, and breast-plates, and shields, which Alex- 
 ander, sow of Philip, the Macedonian king, who reigned firsl 
 among the Grecians, had left there. 
 
 3 Wherefore he came and sought to take the city, and to Bpoil 
 it; but he was not able, because they of the city, having had 
 warning thereof, 
 
 4 Hose up against him in battle : so he fled, and departed 
 thence with great heaviness, and returned to Babylon. 
 
 5 Moreover there came one who brought him tidings into 
 Persia, that the armies, which went against the land of Judea, 
 were put to flight : 
 
 6 And that Lysias, who went forth first with a great power, 
 was driven away of the Jews ; and that they were made strona 
 by the armour, and power, and store of spoils, which they had 
 gotten of the armies, whom they had destroyed : 
 
 7 Also that they had pulled down the abomination, which he 
 had set up upon the altar in Jerusalem, and that they had com- 
 passed about the. sanctuary with high walls, as before, and his 
 city Bethsura. 
 
 8 Now when the king heard these words, he was astonished 
 and sore moved : whereupon he laid him down upon his bed, and 
 fell sick for grief, because it had not befallen him as he looked for. 
 
 9 And there he continued many days : for his grief was ever 
 more and more, and he made account that he should die. 
 
 10 Wherefore he called for all his friends, and said unto them, 
 The sleep is gone from mine eyes, and my heart faileth for very 
 care. 
 
 11 And I thought with myself, Into what tribulation am I 
 come, and how great a flood of misery is it, wherein now I am ! 
 for I was bountiful and beloved in my power. 
 
 12 But now I remember the evils that I did at Jerusalem, 
 and that I took all the vessels of gold and silver that were 
 therein, and sent to destroy the inhabitants of Judea without a 
 cause. 
 
 13 I perceive therefore that for this cause these troubles are 
 come upon me, and behold, I perish through great grief in a 
 strange land. 
 
 14 Then called he for Philip, one of his friends, whom he 
 made ruler over all his realm, 
 
 15 And gave him the crown, and his robe, and his signet 
 to the end he should bring up his son Antiochus, and nourish 
 him up for the kingdom. 
 
 16 So king Antiochus died there in the hundred forty and 
 ninth year. 
 
 17 Now when Lysias knew that the king was dead, he set up 
 Antiochus his son, whom he had brought up, being young, to 
 reign in his stead, and his name he called Eupator. 
 
 18 About this time the}' that were in the tower shut up the 
 Israelites round about the sanctuary, and sought always their 
 hurt, and the strengthening of the heathen. 
 
 19 Wherefore Judas, purposing to destroy them, called ail the 
 people together to besiege them. 
 
 20 So they came together, and besieged them in the hundred 
 and fiftieth year, and he made mounts for shot against them, and 
 other engines. 
 
 21 Howbeit, certain of them that were besieged got forth, unto 
 whom some ungodly men of Israel joined themselves : 
 
 22 And they went unto the king, and said, How long will it 
 be ere thou execute judgment, and avenge our brethren t 
 
 23 We have been willing to serve thy father, and tc do as he 
 would have us, and to obev hi* commandments ; 
 
 91 
 
Apocrypha 
 
 I. MACCABEES. 
 
 Apocrypha 
 
 21 For which cause they of our nation besiege the tower, and 
 are alienated from us; moreover, as many of us as they could 
 Light on they slew, and spoiled our inheritance. 
 
 25 Neither have they stretched out their hand against us only, 
 hut also against all their borders. 
 
 26 And behold, this day are they besieging the tower at Jeru- 
 salem, to take it : the sanctuary also and Bethsura have they 
 fortified. 
 
 27 Wherefore if thou dost not prevent them quickly, they 
 will do greater things than these, neither shalt thou be able to 
 rule them. 
 
 28 Now when the king heard this, he was angry, and gathered 
 ton-ether all his friends, and the captains of his army, and those 
 that had charge of the horse. 
 
 29 There came also unto him from other kingdoms, and from 
 isles of the sea, bands of hired soldiers. 
 
 30 So that the number of his army was an hundred thousand 
 footmen, and twenty thousand horsemen, and two and thirty 
 elephants exercised in battle. 
 
 31 These went through Idumea, and pitched against Bethsura, 
 which they assaulted many days, making engines of war; but 
 they of Bethsura came out, and burned them with fire, and 
 fought valiantly. 
 
 32 Upon this Judas removed from the tower, and pitched in 
 Bathzacharias, over against the king's camp. 
 
 33 Then the king rising very early marched fiercely with his 
 host towards Bathzacharias, where his armies made them ready 
 to battle, and sounded the trumpets. 
 
 34 And to the end they might provoke the elephants to fight, 
 they showed them the blood of grapes and mulberries. 
 
 35 Moreover they divided the beasts among the armies, and 
 for every elephant they appointed a thousand men, armed with 
 coats of mail, and with helmets of brass on their heads; and be- 
 sides this, for every beast were ordained five hundred horsemen 
 of the best. 
 
 36 These were ready at every occasion : wheresoever the beast 
 was, and whithersoever the beast went, they went also, neither 
 departed they from him. 
 
 37 And upon the beasts were there strong towers of wood, 
 which covered every one of them, and were girt fast unto them 
 with devices; there were also upon every one two and thirty 
 strong men, that fought upon them, besides the Indian that 
 ruled him. 
 
 38 As for the remnant of the horsemen, they set them on this 
 side and that side at the two parts of the host, giving them signs 
 what to do, and being harnessed all over amidst the ranks. 
 
 39 Now when the sun shone upon the shields of gold and 
 brass, the mountains glistered therewith, and shined like lamps 
 of fire. 
 
 40 So part of the king's army being spread upon the high 
 mountains, and part on the valleys below, they marched on safely 
 and in order. 
 
 41 Wherefore all that heard the noise of their multitude, and 
 the marching of the company, and the rattling of the harness, 
 were moved : for the army was very great and mighty. 
 
 42 Then Judas and his host drew near, and entered into 
 battle, and there were slain of the king's army six hundred men. 
 
 43 Eleazar also, surnamed Savaran, perceiving that one of 
 the beasts, armed with royal harness, was higher than all the rest, 
 and supposing that the king was upon him, 
 
 44 Put himself in jeopard}', to the end he might deliver his 
 people, and get him a perpetual name : 
 
 45 Wherefore he ran upon him courageously through the 
 midst of the battle, slaying on the right hand and on the left, so 
 that they were divided from him on both sides. 
 
 46 Which done, he crept under the elephant, and thrust him 
 under, and slew him : whereupon the elephant fell down upon 
 him, and there he died. 
 
 47 Howbeit, the rest of the Jews seeing the strength of the 
 king, and the violence of his forces, turned away from them. 
 
 48 Tl Then the king's army went up to Jerusalem to meet 
 
 92 
 
 them, and the king pitched his tents against Judea, and against 
 mount Sion. 
 
 49 But with them that were in Bethsura he made peace : foi 
 they came out of the city, because they had no victuals there to 
 endure the siege, it being a year of rest to the land. 
 
 50 So the king took Bethsura, and set a garrison there to 
 keep it. 
 
 51 As for the sanctuary, he besieged it many days : and set 
 there artillery with engines and instruments to cast fire and 
 stones, and pieces to cast darts and slings. 
 
 52 Whereupon they also made engines against their engines, 
 and held them battle a long season. 
 
 53 Yet at the last, their vessels being without victuals, (for 
 that it was the seventh year, and they in Judea that were de- 
 livered from the Gentiles, had eaten up the residue of the store:) 
 
 54 There were but a few left in the sanctuary, because the 
 famine did so prevail against them, that they were fain to dis- 
 perse themselves, every man to his own place. 
 
 55 At that time Lysias heard say, that Philip, whom Anti- 
 ochus the king, while he lived, had appointed to bring up his 
 son Antiochus, that he might be king, 
 
 56 Was returned out of Persia and Media, and the king's 
 host also that went with him, and that he sought to take unto 
 him the ruling of the affairs. 
 
 57 Wherefore he went in all haste, and said to the king and 
 the captains of the host and the company, We decay daily, and 
 and our victuals are but small, and the place we lay siege unto 
 is strong, and the affairs of the kingdom lie upon us : 
 
 58 Now therefore let us be friends with these men, and make 
 peace with them, and with all their nation; 
 
 59 And covenant with them, that they shall live after their 
 laws as they did before : for they are therefore displeased, and 
 have done all these things, because we abolish their laws. 
 
 60 So the king and the princes were content : wherefore he 
 sent unto them to make peace ; and they accepted thereof. 
 
 61 Also the king and the princes made an oath unto them 
 whereupon they went out of the strong hold. 
 
 62 Then the king entered into mount Sion ; but when he saw 
 the strength of the place, he brake his oath that he had made, 
 and gave commandment to pull down the wall round about. 
 
 63 Afterward departed he in all haste, and returned unto 
 Antiochia, where he found Philip to be master of the city : so he 
 fought against him, and took the city by force. 
 
 CHAPTER VII. 
 
 1 Antiochus is slain, and Demetrius reigneth in his stead. 5 Alcimus 
 would be high priest, and complaineth of Judas to the king: 16 He 
 slayeth threescore Assideans. 43 Nicanor is slain, and the king's 
 forces are defeated by Judas. 49 The day of this victory is kept holy 
 every year. 
 
 IN the hundred and one and fiftieth year, Demetrius the son of 
 Seleucus departed from Rome, and came up with a few men 
 unto a city of the sea-coast, and reigned there. 
 
 2 And as he entered into the palace of his ancestors, so it was, 
 that his forces had taken Antiochus and Lysias, to bring them 
 unto him. 
 
 3 Wherefore, when he knew it, he said, Let me not see th.-ii 
 faces. 
 
 4 So his host slew them. Now when Demetrius was set upon 
 the throne of his kingdom, 
 
 5 There came unto him all the wicked and ungodly men of 
 Israel, having Alcimus, who was desirous to be high priest, for 
 their captain : 
 
 6 And they accused the people to the king, saying, Judas and 
 his brethren have slain all thy friends, and driven us out of our 
 own land. 
 
 7 Now therefore send some man whom thou trustest, and let 
 him go and see what havoc he hath made among us, and in the 
 king's land, and let him punish them with all them that aid 
 them. 
 
 8 Then the king chose Bacchides, a friend of the king, who 
 
Apocrypna. 
 
 CHAP. V1I1 
 
 fpoorrphi 
 
 ruled beyond the flood and was a great man in the kingdom, and 
 faithful to the king. 
 
 9 And liiin lie sent with that wicked Alcimus, whom he made 
 high priest, and commanded that he should take vengeance of the 
 children of Tsrael. 
 
 10 So they departed, and came with a great power into the 
 land of Judea, where they sent messengers to Judas and his 
 brethren with peaceable words deceitfully. 
 
 1 1 But they gave no heed to their words ; for they saw that 
 they were come with a great power. 
 
 12 Then did there assemble unto Alcimus and Bacchides a 
 company of scribes, to require justice. 
 
 13 Now the Assideans were the first among the children of Is- 
 rael that sought peace of them : 
 
 14 For said they, One that is a priest of the seed of Aaron is 
 come with this army, and he will do us no wrong. 
 
 15 So he spake unto them peaceably, and sware unto them, 
 saying, We will procure the harm neither of you nor your 
 friends. 
 
 16 Whereupon they believed him : howbeit he took of them 
 threescore men, and slew them in one day, according to the words 
 which he wrote, 
 
 17 The flesh of thy saints have they cast out, and their blood 
 have they shed round about Jerusalem, aud there was none to 
 bury them. 
 
 18 Wherefore the fear and dread of them fell upon all the 
 people, who said, There is neither truth nor righteousness in 
 them ; for they have broken the covenant and oath that they 
 made. 
 
 19 After this removed Bacchides from Jerusalem, and pitched 
 his tents in Bezeth, where he sent and took many of the men 
 that had forsaken him, and certain of the people also, and when 
 he had slain them, he cast them into the great pit. 
 
 20 Then committed he the country to Alcimus, and left with 
 him a power to aid him : so Bacchides went to the king. 
 
 21 But Alcimus contended for the high priesthood. 
 
 22 And unto him resorted all such as troubled the people, 
 who, after they had gotten the land of Juda into their power, did 
 much hurt in Israel. 
 
 23 Now when Judas saw all the mischief that Alcimus and 
 his company had done among the Israelites, even above the 
 heathen, 
 
 24 He went out into all the coasts of Judea round about, and 
 took vengeance of them that had revolted from him, so that they 
 durst no more go forth into the country. 
 
 25 On the other side, when Alcimus saw that Judas and his 
 company had gotten the upper hand, and knew that he was not 
 able to abide their fo^-e, he went again to the king, and said all 
 the worst of them that he could. 
 
 26 Then the king sent Nicanor, one of his honourable princes, 
 a man that bare deadly hate unto Israel, with commandment to 
 destroy the people. 
 
 27 So Nicanor came to Jerusalem with a great force; and 
 gent unto Judas and his brethren deceitfully with friendly words, 
 saying, 
 
 28 Let there be no battle between me and you ; I will come 
 with a few men, that I may see you in peace. 
 
 29 He came therefore to Judas, and they saluted one another 
 peaceably. Howbeit the enemies were prepared to take away 
 Judas by violence. 
 
 30 Which thing after it was known to Judas, to wit, that he 
 came unto him with deceit, he was sore afraid of him, and would 
 see his face no more. 
 
 31 Nicanor also, when he saw that his counsel was discovered, 
 went out to fight against Judas beside Capharsalama : 
 
 32 . Where there were slain of Nicanor's side about five thou- 
 sand men, and the rest fled into the city of David. 
 
 33 After this went Nicanor up to mount Sion, and there came 
 jut of the sanctuary certain of the priests and certain of the 
 elders of the people, to salute him peaceably, and to show him 
 the burnt^saerifice that was offered for the king. 
 
 34 But he mocked them, and laughed at them, aDd abused 
 theni shamefully, and spake proudly, 
 
 35 And sware in his wrath, saying, Unless Judas and his 
 host be now delivered into my hands, if ever 1 come again in 
 
 safety, I will burn up this house : and with that he went out in 
 a great rage. 
 
 36 Then the priests entered in, and stood before the altar and 
 the temple, weeping, and saying, 
 
 37 Thou, O Lord, didst choose this house to be called by th_ 
 name, and to be a house of prayer and petition for thy people : 
 
 38 Be avenged of this man and his host, and let them fall bj 
 the sword : remember their blasphemies, and suffer them not to 
 continue any longer. 
 
 39 So Nicanor went out of Jerusalem, and pitched his tent* 
 in Heth-horon, where a host out of Syria met him. 
 
 40 But Judas pitched in Adasa with three thousand men, and 
 there he prayed, saying, 
 
 41 O Lord, when they that were sent from the king of the 
 Assyrians blasphemed, thine angel went out, and smote an hun- 
 dred fourscore and five thousand of them. 
 
 42 Even so destroy thou this host before us this day, that the 
 rest may know that he hath spoken blasphemously against thy 
 sanctuary, and judge thou him according to his wickedness. 
 
 43 So the thirteenth day of the month Adar the hosts joined 
 battle ; but Nicanor's host was discomfited, and he himself was 
 first slain in the battle. 
 
 44 Now when Nicanor's host saw that he was slain, they cast 
 away their weapons, and fled. 
 
 45 Then they pursued after them a day's journey, from Adasa 
 unto Gazera, sounding an alarm after them with their trumpets. 
 
 46 Whereupon they came forth out of all the towns of Judea 
 round about, and closed them in ; so that they, turning back 
 upon them that pursued them, were all slain with the sword, and 
 not one of them was left. 
 
 47 Afterward they took the spoils and the prey, and smote 
 off Nicanor's head, and his right hand, which he stretched out 
 so proudly, and brought them away, aud hanged them up to- 
 wards Jerusalem. 
 
 48 For this cause the people rejoiced greatly, and they kept 
 that day a day of great gladness. 
 
 49 Moreover, they ordained to keep yearly this day, being the 
 thirteenth of Adar. 
 
 50 Thus the land of Juda was in rest a little while. 
 
 CHAPTER VIII. 
 
 1 Judas is informed of the power and policy of the Romans, 20 and 
 niaketh a league with them. 24 The articles of that league. 
 
 NOW Judas had heard of the fame of the Romans, that they 
 were mighty and valiant men, and such as would lovingly 
 accept all that joined themselves unto them, and make a league 
 of amity with all that came unto them ; 
 
 2 And that they were men of great valour. It was told him 
 also of their wajs and noble acts which they had done among the 
 Galatians, and how they had conquered them, and brought them 
 under tribute ; 
 
 3 And what they had done in the country of Spain, for the 
 winning of the mines of the silver and gold which is there; 
 
 4 And that by their policy and patience they had conquered 
 all the place, though it were very far from them ; and the kings 
 also that came against them from the uttermost part of the earth, 
 till they had discomfited them, and given tbem a great overthrow, 
 so that the rest did give them tribute every year : 
 
 5 Besides this, how they had discomfited in battle Philip, and 
 Perseus, king of the Citims, with others that lifted up themselves 
 against them, and had overcome them . 
 
 6 How that Antiochus, the great king of Asia, that came 
 against them in battle, having an hundred and twenty elephants, 
 with horsemen, and chariots, and a very great army, was discom- 
 fited by them ; 
 
 7 And how they took him alive, and covenanted that he and 
 
 93 
 
Apocrvrria. 
 
 I. MACCABEEa, 
 
 Apocryj^na 
 
 such as pjign:J after him should pay a great tribute, and give 
 hostages, and that which was agreed upon, 
 
 8 And the country of India, and Media, and Lydia, and of 
 the goodliest countries, which they took of him, and gave to king 
 Eumenes : 
 
 9 Moreover how the Grecians had determined to come and 
 destroy them ; 
 
 10 And that they, having knowledge thereof, sent against 
 them a certain captain, and fighting with them slew many of 
 them, and carried away captives their wives and their children, 
 and spoiled them, and took possession of their lands, and pulled 
 down their strong holds, and brought them to be their servants 
 unto this day : 
 
 11 // was told him besides, how they destroyed and brought 
 under their dominion all other kingdoms and isles that at any 
 time resisted them ; 
 
 12 But with their friends and such as relied upon them they 
 kept amity; and that they had conquered kingdoms both far and 
 nigh, insomuch as all that heard of their name were afraid of 
 them : 
 
 13 Also that, whom they would help to a kingdom, those 
 reign ; and whom again they would, they displace : finally, that 
 they were greatly exalted : 
 
 14 Yet for all this none of them wore a crown or was clothed 
 in purple, to be magnified thereby : 
 
 15 Moreover how they had made for themselves a senate- 
 ho'ise, wherein three hundred and twenty men sat in council 
 daily, consulting always for the people, to the end they may be 
 well ordered : 
 
 16 And that they committed their government to one man 
 v very year, who ruled over all their country, and that all were 
 ooedient to that one, and that there was neither envy nor emula- 
 tion among them. 
 
 17 In consideration of these things, Judas chose Eupoiemus 
 the son of John, the son of Accos, and Jason the son of Eleazar, 
 and sent them to Rome, to make a league of amity and confede- 
 racy with them, 
 
 18 And to entreat them that they would take the yoke from 
 them ; for they saw that the kingdom of the Grecians did oppress 
 Israel with servitude. 
 
 19 They went therefore to Rome, which was a very great 
 journey, and came into the senate, where they spake and said, 
 
 20 Judas Maccabeus with his brethren, and the people of the 
 Jews, have sent us unto you, to make a confederacy aud peace 
 with you, and that we might be registered your confederates and 
 friends. 
 
 21 So that matter pleased the Romans well. 
 
 22 And this is the copy of the epistle which the senate wrote 
 oack again on tables of brass, and sent to Jerusalem, that there 
 they might have by them a memorial of peace and confederacy. 
 
 23 Good success be to the Romans, and to the people of the 
 .Jews, by sea and by land for ever : the sword also and enemy be 
 far from them. 
 
 21 If there come first any war upon the Romans or any of 
 their confederates throughout all their dominion, 
 
 25 The people of the Jews shall help them, as the time shall 
 be appointed, with all their heart : 
 
 26 Neither shall they give any thing unto them that make 
 war upon them, or aid them with victuals, weapons, money, or 
 6hips, as it hath seemed good unto the Romans ; but they shall 
 keep their covenants without taking any thing therefore. 
 
 27 In the same manner also, if war come first upon the nation 
 of the Jews, the Romans shall help them with all their heart, 
 according as the ti me shall be appointed them : 
 
 28 Neither shall victuals be given to them that take part 
 against them, or weapons, or money, or ships, as it hath seemed 
 good to the Romans ; but they shall keep their covenants, and 
 that without deceit. 
 
 29 According to these articles did the Romans make a cove- 
 cant with the people of the Jews. 
 
 30 Howbeit, if hereafter the one party or the other shall think 
 
 94 
 
 meet to add or diminish any thing, they may do it at their plea- 
 sures, and whatsoever they shall add or take away shall be rati- 
 fied. 
 
 31 And as touching the evils that Demetrius doeth to the 
 Jews, we have written unto him, saying, Wherefore hast thou 
 made thy yoke heavy upon our friends and confederates the 
 Jews ? 
 
 32 If therefore they complain any more against thee, we will 
 do them justice, and fight with thee by sea and by land. 
 
 CHAPTER IX. 
 
 1 Alcimus and Bacchides come again with new forces into Judea : 7 
 The army of Judas flee from him, 17 and he is slain: 30 Jonathan 
 is in his place, 40 and revengeth his brother John's quarrel. 55 
 Alcimus is plagued, and dieth. 70 Bacchides maketh peace with 
 Jonathan. 
 
 FURTHERMORE, when Demetrius heard that Nicanor and 
 his host were slain in battle, he sent Bacchides and Alcimus 
 into the land of Judea the second time, and with them the chief 
 strength of his host : 
 
 2 Who went forth by the way that leadeth to Galgala, and 
 pitched their tents before Masaloth, which is in Arbela, and after 
 they had won it, they slew much people. 
 
 3 Also the first month of the hundred fifty and second year 
 they encamped before Jerusalem : 
 
 4 From whence they moved and went to Berea, with twenty 
 thousand footmen, and two thousand horsemen. 
 
 5 Now Judas had pitched his tents at Eleasa, and three thou- 
 sand chosen men with him : 
 
 6 Who seeing the multitude of the other army to be so great, 
 were sore afraid; whereupon many conveyed themselves out of 
 the host, insomuch as there abode of them no more but eight 
 hundred men. 
 
 7 When Judas therefore saw that his host slipped away, and 
 that the battle pressed upon him, he was sore troubled in mind, 
 and much distressed, for that he had no time to gather them 
 together. 
 
 8 Nevertheless, unto them that remained, he said, Let us arise 
 and go up against our enemies, if peradventure we may be able 
 to fight with them. 
 
 9 But they dehorted him, saying, We shall never be able : let 
 us now rather save our lives, and hereafter we will return with 
 our brethren, and fight against them : for we are but few. 
 
 10 Then Judas' said, God forbid that I should do this thing, 
 and flee away from them ; if our time be come, let us die man- 
 fully for our brethren, and let us not stain our honour. 
 
 11 With that the host of Bacchides removed out of their 
 tents, and stood over against them, their horsemen being divided 
 into two troops, and their slingers and archers going before the 
 host, and they that marched in the foreward were all mighty 
 men. 
 
 12 As for Bacchides, he was in the right wing : so the host 
 drew near on the two parts, and sounded their trumpets. 
 
 13 They also of Judas' side, even they sounded their trum- 
 pets also, so that the earth shook at the noise of the armies, ai; ] 
 the battle continued from morning till night. 
 
 14 Now when Judas perceived that Bacchides and the strengtl 
 of his army were on the right side, he took with him all the 
 hardy men, 
 
 15 Who discomfited the right wing, and pursued them unto 
 the mount Azotus. 
 
 16 But when they of the left wing saw that they of the right 
 wing were discomfited, they followed upon Judas and those that 
 were with him hard at the heels from behind : 
 
 17 Whereupon there was a sore battle, insomuch as many 
 were slain on both parts. 
 
 18 Judas also was killed, and the remnant fled. 
 
 19 Then Jonathan and Simon took Judas their brother, and 
 buried him in the sepulchre of his fathers in Modin. 
 
 20 Moreover they bewailed him, and all Israel made greai 
 lamentiition for him, and mourned many days for him, saying, 
 
Apocryr&a. 
 
 CRAP. IX.

 21 Now is the valiant man fallen, that delivered Israel ! 
 
 22 As for the other things concerning Judas and bis wars, 
 Riid the noble acts which he did, and his greatness, they are not 
 written : for they were very many. 
 
 23 ^| Now after the death of Judas, the wicked began to put 
 forth their beads in all the coasts of Israel, and tbere arose up 
 all such as wrought iniquity. 
 
 24 In those days ah o was there a very great famine, by reason 
 whereof the country revolted and went with thorn. 
 
 25 Then Bacchides chose the wicked men, and made them 
 lords of the country. 
 
 26 And they made inquiry and search for Judas' friends, and 
 brought them unto Bacchides, who took vengeance of them, and 
 used them despitefully. 
 
 27 So was there a great affliction in Israel, the like whereof 
 was not since the time that a prophet was not seen among 
 them. 
 
 28 For this cause all Judas' friends came together, and said 
 ucto Jonathan, 
 
 29 Since thy brother Judas died, we have no man like him to 
 eo forth against our enemies, and Bacchides, and against them 
 of our nation that are adversaries to us. 
 
 30 Now therefore we have chosen thee this day to be our 
 prince and captain in his stead, that thou mayest fight our battles. 
 
 31 Upon this Jonathan took the governance upon him at that 
 time, and rose up instead of his brother Judas. 
 
 32 But when Bacchides gat knowledge thereof, he sought for 
 to slay him. 
 
 33 Then Jonathan, and Simon his brother, and all that were 
 with him, perceiving that, fled into the wilderness of Thecoe, and 
 pitched their tents by the water of the pool Asphar. 
 
 34 Which when Bacchides understood, he came near to Jor- 
 dan with all his host upon the sabbath-day. 
 
 35 Now Jonathan had sent his brother Joint, a captain of the 
 people, to pray his friends the Nabathites, that they might leave 
 with them their carriage, which was much. 
 
 36 But the children of Jambri came out of Medaba, and took 
 John, and all that he had, and went their way with it. 
 
 37 After this came word to Jonathan and Simon his brother, 
 that the children of Jambri made a great marriage, and were 
 bringing the bride from Nadabatha with a great train, as being 
 the daughter of one of the great princes of Chanaan. 
 
 38 Therefore they remembered John their brother, and went 
 up, and hid themselves under the covert of the mountain : 
 
 39 Where they lifted up their eyes, and looked, and behold, 
 there was much ado and great carriage : and the bridegroom came 
 forth, and his friends and brethren, to meet them with drums, 
 and instruments of music, and many weapous. 
 
 40 Then Jonathan and they that were with him rose up 
 against them from the place where they lay in ambush, and made 
 a slaughter of them in such sort, as many fell down dead, and 
 the remnant fled into the mountain, and they took all their spoils. 
 
 41 Thus was the marriage turned into mourning, and the 
 noise of their melody into lamentation. 
 
 42 So when they had avenged fully the blood of their bro- 
 ther, they turned again to the marsh of Jordan. 
 
 43 Now when Bacchides heard hereof, he came on the sab- 
 bath day unto the banks of Jordan with a great power. 
 
 44 Then Jonathan said to his company, Let us go up now and 
 fight for our lives, for it standeth not with us to-day, as in time 
 past : 
 
 45 For, behold, the battle is before us and behind us, and the 
 water of Jordan on this side and that side, the marsh likewise 
 and wood, neither is there place for us to turn aside. 
 
 46 Wherefore cry ye now unto heaven, that ye may be deli- 
 vered from the hand of your enemies. 
 
 47 With that they joined battle, and Jonathan stretched forth 
 his hand to smite Bacchides, but he turned back from him. 
 
 48 Then Jonathan and they that were with him leaped into 
 Jordan, and swam over unto the farther bank : howbeit the other 
 passed not over Jordan unto them. 
 
 49 So there were slain of Bacchidc side that day about a 
 thousand men. 
 
 50 Afterward returned Bacchides to Jerusalem, and rep i 
 the strong cities in Judea; the fort in Jericho, and Rrnmaoa, 
 and Beth-horon, and Bethel, and Thamnatha, Pharathoni, aud 
 Taphon, these did he strengthen with burb walls, with gates, aud 
 with bars. 
 
 51 Aud in them ho set a garrison, that Iney might work malice 
 upon Israel. 
 
 52 He fortified also the city Beth sura, and Gazar., und tne 
 tower, and put forces in them, and provision of victuals. 
 
 53 Besides, he took the chief men's sons in the country fir 
 hostages, and put them into the tower at Jerusalem to be 
 kept. 
 
 54 Moreover in the hundred fifty and third year, in the second 
 month, Alcimus commanded that the wall of the inner court of 
 the sanctuary should be pulled down; he pulled down also the 
 works of the prophets. 
 
 55 And as he began to pull down, even at that time was Al- 
 cimus plagued, and his enterprises hindered : for his mouth was 
 stopped, and he was taken with a palsy, so that he ould no 
 more speak any thing, nor give order concerning his Iiousr. 
 
 56 So Alcimus died at that time with great tor ieut. 
 
 57 Now when Bacchides saw that Alcimus wai. dead, he re- 
 turned to the king: whereupon the laud of Judei was in rest 
 two years. 
 
 58 Then all the ungodly men held a council, saj ing, Behold, 
 Jonathan and his company are at ease, and dwell without care : 
 now therefore we will bring Bacchides hither, who shall take 
 them all in one night. 
 
 59 So they went and consulted with him. 
 
 60 Then removed he, and came with a great host, and sent 
 letters privily to his adherents in Judea, that they should take 
 Jonathan and those that were with him : howbeit they could not, 
 because their counsel was known unto them. 
 
 61 Wherefore they took of the men of the country, that were 
 authors of that mischief, about fifty persons, and slew them. 
 
 62 Afterward Jonathan, and Simon, and they that were with 
 him, got them away to Bethbasi, which is in the wilderness, and 
 they repaired the decays thereof, and made it strong. 
 
 63 Which thing when Bacchides knew, he gathered together 
 all his host, and sent word to them that were of Judea. 
 
 64 Then went he and laid siege against Bethbasi; and they 
 fought against it a long season, and made engines of war. 
 
 65 But Jonathan left his brother Simon in the city, and went 
 forth himself into the country, aud with a certain number went 
 he forth. 
 
 66 And he smote Odonarkes aud his brethren, and the chil- 
 dren of Phasiron in their tent. 
 
 67 And when he began to smite them, and came up with his 
 forces, Simon and his company went out of the city, and burued 
 up the engines of war, 
 
 68. And fought against Bacchides, who was discomfited by 
 them, and they afflicted him sore : for his counsel and travail 
 was in vain. 
 
 69 Wherefore he was very wroth at the wicked men that gave 
 him counsel to come into the country, insomuch that he slew 
 many of them, and purposed to return into his own country. 
 
 70 Whereof when Jonathan had knowledge, he sent ambassa- 
 dors unto him, to the end he should make peace with him, aud 
 deliver them the prisoners. 
 
 71 Which thing he accepted, and did according to his demands, 
 and sware unto him that he would never do him harm all the 
 days of his life. 
 
 72 When therefore he had restored unto him the prisoners 
 that he had taken aforetime out of the laud of Judea, he returned 
 and went his way into his own land, neither came he any more 
 into their borders. 
 
 73 Thus the sword ceased from Israel : but Jonathan dwelt 
 at Machmas, and began to govern the people; and he destroyed 
 the ungodly men out of Israel.

 CHAPTER X. 
 
 X Demetrius makcth large offers to have peace with Jonathan : 25 His 
 letters to the Jews. 47 Jonathan maketh peace with Alexander: 
 60 Who ki'.leth Demetrius, 58 and marrieth the daughter of Ptole- 
 meus. 62 Jonathan is sent for by liim, and much honoured, 75 and 
 prevailed! against the forces of Demetrius the younger, 84 and 
 burnetii the temple of Dagon. 
 
 IN the hundred and sixtieth year, Alexander, the son of Anti- 
 oehus, surnamed Epiphanes, went up and took Ptoleinais: 
 For the people had received him, by means whereof he reigned 
 there. 
 
 2 Now when king Demetrius heard thereof, he gathered 
 tooether an exceeding great host, and went forth against him to 
 fight. 
 
 3 Moreover, Demetrius sent letters unto Jonathan with loving 
 words, so as he magnified him. 
 
 4 For, said he, Let us first make peace with him, before he 
 join with Alexander against us : 
 
 5 Else he will remember all the evils that we have done 
 against him, and against his brethren and his people. 
 
 6 Wherefore he gave him authority to gather together a host, 
 and to provide weapons, that he might aid him in battle : he 
 commanded also that the hostages that were in the tower should 
 be delivered him. 
 
 7 Then came Jonathan to Jerusalem, and read the letters 
 in the audience of all the people, and of them that were in the 
 tower : 
 
 8 Who were sore afraid, when they heard that the king had 
 given him authority to gather together a host. 
 
 9 Whereupon they of the tower delivered their hostages unto 
 Jonathan, and he delivered them unto their parents. 
 
 10 This done, Jonathan settled himself in Jerusalem, and 
 began to build and repair the city. 
 
 11 And he commanded the workmen to build the walls and 
 the mount Sion round about with square stones for fortification j 
 and they did so. 
 
 12 Then the strangers, that were in the fortresses which Bac- 
 chides had built, fled away ; 
 
 13 Insomuch as every man left his place, and went into his 
 own country. 
 
 14 Only at Bethsura certain of those that had forsaken the 
 law and the commandments remained still : "for it was their place 
 of refuge. 
 
 15 Now when king Alexander had heard what promises De- 
 meiri'.'S had sent unto Jonathan : when also it was told him of 
 the battles and noble acts which he and his brethren had done, 
 and oi the pains that they had endured, 
 
 16 He said, Shall we find such another man ? now therefore 
 we will make him our friend and confederate. 
 
 17 Upon this he wrote a letter, and sent it unto him, accord- 
 ing to these words, saying, 
 
 18 King Alexander to his brother Jonathan sendeth greeting : 
 
 19 We have heard of thee, that thou art a man of great power, 
 and meet to be our friend. 
 
 20 Wherefore now this day we ordain thee to be the high 
 priest of thy nation, and to be called the king's friend; (and 
 therewithal he sent him a purple robe and a crown of gold :) and 
 require thee to take our part, and keep friendship with us. 
 
 21 So in the seventh month of the hundred and sixtieth year, 
 at the feast of the tabernacles, Jonathan put on the holy robe, 
 and gathered together forces, and provided much armour. 
 
 22 Whereof when Demetrius heard, he was very sorry, and 
 said, 
 
 23 What have we done, that Alexander hath prevented us in 
 making amity with the Jews to strengthen himself? 
 
 24 I also will write unto them words of encouragement, 
 and promise them dignities and gifts, that I may have their 
 aid. 
 
 25 He sent unto them therefore to this effect : King Deme- 
 trius unto the people of the Jews sendeth greeting : 
 
 26 Whereas ye have kept covenants with us, and continued 
 
 96 
 
 in our friendship, not joining yourselves with our enemies, wo 
 have heard hereof, and are glad. 
 
 27 Wherefore now continue ye still to be faithful unto us, and 
 we will recompense ycu for the things ye do in our behalf. 
 
 28 And will grant you many immunities, and give you 
 rewards. 
 
 29 And now do I free you, and for your sake I release all the 
 Jews, from tributes, and from the customs of salt, and from 
 crown taxes, 
 
 30 And from that which appertaineth unto me to receive for 
 the third part of the seed, and the half of the fruit of the trees, 
 I release it from this day forth, so that they shall not be taken 
 of (he land of Judea, nor of the three governments which 
 are added thereunto out of the country of Samaria and Galilee, 
 from this day forth for evermore. 
 
 31 Let Jerusalem also be holy and free, with the borders 
 thereof, both from tenths and tributes. 
 
 32 And as for the tower which is at Jerusalem, I yield up my 
 authority over it, and give it to the high priest, that he may set 
 in it such men as he shall choose to keep it. 
 
 33 Moreover I freely set at liberty every one of the Jews that 
 were carried captives out of the land of Judea into any part of 
 my kingdom, and 1 will that all my officers remit the tributes 
 even of their cattle. 
 
 34 Furthermore / will that all the feasts, and sabbaths, and 
 new moons, and solemn days, and the three days before the feast, 
 and the three days after the feast, shall be all days of immunity 
 and freedom for all the Jews in my realm. 
 
 35 Also no man shall have authority to meddle with them, or 
 to molest any of them in any matter. 
 
 36 / will further, that there be enrolled among the king's 
 forces about thirty thousand men of the Jews, unto whom pay 
 shall be given, as belongeth to all the king's forces. 
 
 37 And of them some shall be placed in the king's strong 
 holds, of whom also some shail be set over the affairs of the king- 
 dom, which are of trust : and / will that their overseers and 
 governors be of themselves, and that they live after their own 
 laws, even as the king hath commanded in the land of Judea. 
 
 38 And concerning the three governments that are added to 
 Judea from the country of Samaria, let them be joined with 
 Judea, that they may be reckoned to be under one, nor bound tc 
 obey other authority than the high priest's. 
 
 39 As for Ptoleinais, and the land pertaining thereto, I give 
 it as a free gift to the sanctuary at Jerusalem for the necessary 
 expenses of the sanctuary. 
 
 40 Moreover I give every year fifteen thousand shekels of 
 silver out of the king's accounts from the places appertaining. 
 
 41 And all the overplus, which the ofEiers paid not in as in 
 former time, from henceforth shall be given towards the works 
 of the temple. 
 
 42 And besides this, the five thousand shekels of silver, which 
 they took from the uses of the temple out of the accounts year 
 by year, even those things shall be released, because they apper 
 tain to the priests that minister. 
 
 43 And whosoever they be that flee unto the temple at Jeru- 
 salem, or be within the liberties thereof, being indebted unto thj 
 king, or for any other matter, let them be at liberty, and all that 
 they have in my realm. 
 
 44 For the building also and repairing of the works of the 
 sanctuary, expenses shall be given of the king's accounts. 
 
 45 Yea, and for the building of the walls of Jerusalem, and 
 the fortifying thereof round about, expenses shall be given out 
 of the king's accounts, as also for the building of the walls in 
 Judea. 
 
 46 Now when Jonathan and the people heard these words, 
 they gave no credit unto them, nor received them, because they 
 remembered the great evil that he .had done in Israel ; for he had 
 afflicted them very sore. 
 
 47 But with Alexandei they were well pleased, because be 
 was the first that entreated of true peace with them, and they 
 were confederate with him always.

 48 Then gatkdred king Alexander great forces, and camped 
 over against Demetrius. 
 
 49 And after the two kings had joined battle, Demetrius' 
 host fled : but Alexander followed after him, and prevailed 
 against them. 
 
 50 And he continued the battle very sore until the sun went 
 down : and that day was Demetrius slain. 
 
 51 Afterward Alexander sent ambassadors to Ptolemee king 
 of Egypt with a message to this effect : 
 
 52 Forasmuch as I am come again to my realm, and am set 
 in the throne of my progenitors, and have gotten the dominion 
 and overthrown Demetrius, and recovered our country ; 
 
 53 For after I had joined battle with him, both he and his 
 host was discomfited by us, so that we sit in the throne of his 
 kingdom : 
 
 54 Now therefore let us make a league of amity together, 
 and give me now thy daughter to wife : and I will be thy son- 
 in-law, and will give both thee aud her gifts according to thy 
 dignity. 
 
 55 Then Ptolemee the king gave answer, saying, Happy be 
 the day wherein thou didst return into the land of thy fathers, 
 and sattest in the throne of their kingdom. 
 
 56 And now will I do to thee, as thou hast written : meet me 
 therefore at Ptolemais, that we may see one another; for I will 
 marry my daughter to thee according to thy desire. 
 
 57 So Ptolemee went out of Egypt with his daughter Cleo- 
 patra, and they came unto Ptolemais in the hundred threescore 
 •■tnd second year : 
 
 58 Where king Alexander meeting him gave unto him his 
 daughter Cleopatra, and celebrated her marriage at Ptolemais 
 with great glory, as the manner of kings is. 
 
 59 Now king Alexander had written unto Jonathan, that he 
 should come and meet him. 
 
 60 Who thereupon went honourably to Ptolemais, where he 
 net the two kings, and gave them and their friends silver and 
 gold, and many presents, and found favour in their sight. 
 
 61 At that time certain pestilent fellows of Israel, men of a 
 wicked life, assembled themselves against him, to accuse him : 
 but the king would not hear them. 
 
 62 Yea more than that, the king commanded to take off his 
 garments, und clothe him in purple : and they did so. 
 
 63 Also he made him sit by himself, and said unto his princes, 
 Go with him into the midst of the city, and make proclamation, 
 thai, no man complain against him of any matter, and that no 
 maD trouble him for any manner of cause. 
 
 64 Now when his accusers saw that he was honoured accord- 
 ing to the proclamation, and clothed in purple, they fled all 
 away. 
 
 65 So the king honoured him, and wrote him among his chief 
 friends, and made him a duke, and partaker of his dominion. 
 
 66 Afterward Jonathan returned tc Jerusalem with peace and 
 gladness. 
 
 67 Furthermore in the hundred threescore and fifth year came 
 Demetrius son of Demetrius out of Crete into the laud of his 
 fathers. 
 
 68 Whereof when king Alexander heard tell, he was right 
 sorry, and returned into Antioch. 
 
 69 Then Demetrius made Apollonius the governor of Celo- 
 syria his general, who gathered together a great host, and camped 
 in Jamnia, and sent unto Jonathan the high priest, saying, 
 
 70 Thou alone liftest up thyself against us, and I am laughed 
 to scorn for thy sake, and reproached : and why dost thou vaunt 
 thy power against us in the mountains? 
 
 71 Now therefore, if thou trustest in thine own strength, come 
 down to us into the plain field, and there let us try the matter 
 together : for with me is the power of the cities. 
 
 72 Ask and learn who I am, and the rest that take our part, 
 and they shall tell thee that thy foot is not able to stand before 
 jur fact; for thy fathers have been twice put to flight in their 
 own land. 
 
 1 3 Wherefore now thou shalt not be able to abide be horse- 
 
 7 N 
 
 men and so great a power in the plain, where is neither itonc 
 nor flint, nor place to flee unto. 
 
 74 So when Jonathan heard these words of Apollonius, he 
 was moved in his mind, and choosing ten thousand men, he went 
 out of Jerusalem, where Simon his brother met him for to belt 
 him. 
 
 75 And he pitched his tents against Joppe : but they of Joppe 
 shut him out of the city, because Apollonius had a gar; 
 there. 
 
 76 Then Jonathan laid siege unto it, whereupon they of the 
 city let him in for fear : and so Jonathan won Joppe. 
 
 77 Whereof when Apollonius heard, he took three thousand 
 horsemen, with a great host of fool men, and went to Azotus as 
 one that journeyed, and therewithal drew him forth into the plain, 
 because he had a great number of horsemen, in whom he put 
 his trust. 
 
 78 Then Jonathan followed after him to Azotus, where the 
 armies joined battle. 
 
 79 Now Apollonius had left a thousand horsemen in ambush 
 
 80 And Jonathan knew that there was an ambnshment behind 
 him ; for they had compassed in his host, and cast darts at the 
 people, from morning till evening. 
 
 81 But the people stood still, as Jonathan had commanded 
 them : and so the enemies' horses were tired. 
 
 82 Then brought Simon forth his host, and set them against 
 the footmen (for the horsemen were spent,) who were discomfited 
 by him, and fled. 
 
 83 The horsemen also, being scattered in the field, fled to 
 Azotus, and went into Beth-dagon, their idol's temple, for 
 safety. 
 
 84 But Jonathan set fire on Azotus, and the cities round abou- 
 it, and took their spoils; and the temple of Dagon, with them 
 that were fled into it, he burned with fire. 
 
 85 Thus there were burned and slain with the sword well 
 nigh eight thousand men. 
 
 86 And from thence Jonathan removed his host, and camped 
 against Ascalon, where the men of the city came forth, and met 
 him with great pomp. 
 
 87 After this returned Jonathan and his host unto Jerusa- 
 lem, having many spoils. 
 
 88 Now when king Alexander heard these things, he honoured 
 Jonathan yet more, 
 
 89 And sent him a buckle of gold, as the use is to be given 
 to such as are of the king's blood : he gave him also Accaron 
 with the borders thereof in possession. 
 
 CHAPTER XL 
 
 12 Ptolemee taketh away his daughter from Alexander, and entereth 
 upon his kingdom. 17 Alexander is slain, and Ptolemeus dieth 
 within three days. 20 Jonathan besiegeth the tower of Jerusalem. 
 20 The Jews and he are much honoured by Demetrius. 48 who is 
 rescued by the Jews from his own subjects in Antioch. fi? Antio- 
 chus the younger honoureth Jonathan: 61 His exploits in divers 
 places. 
 
 AND the king of Egypt gathered together a great host, like 
 the sand that lieth upon the sea-shore, arid many ships, and 
 went about through deceit to get Alexander's kingdom, and join 
 it to his own. 
 
 2 Whereupon he took his journey into Syn-ia in peaceable man- 
 ner, so as they of the cities opened unto him, and met him : for 
 king Alexander had commanded them so to do, because he was 
 his father-in-law. 
 
 3 Now as Ptolemee entered into the cities, he set in every one 
 of them a garrison of soldiers to keep it. 
 
 4 And when he came near to Azotus, they showed him the 
 temple of Dagon that was burnt, and Azotus and the suburds 
 thereof that were destroyed, and the bodies that were cast abroad, 
 and them that he had burnt in the battle ; for they had made 
 heaps of them by the way where ho should pass. 
 
 5 Also they told the king whatsoever Jonathan had done, to 
 the intent he might blame him : but the kiLg held his peace. 
 
 97

 6 Then Jonathan met the king with great pomp at Joppc, 
 where they saluted one another, and lodged. 
 
 7 Afterward Jonathan, when he had gone with the king to 
 the river called Eleutherus, returned again to Jerusalem. 
 
 « Kin" Ptoleniee therefore, having gotten the dominion of 
 the cities by the sea unto Seleucia upon the sea coast, imagined 
 wicked counsels against Alexander. 
 
 9 Whereupon he sent ambassadors unto king Demetrius, say- 
 in<*, Come, let us make a league betwixt us, and I will give thee 
 my daughter whom Alexander hath, and thou shalt reign in thy 
 father's kingdom : 
 
 10 For I repent that I gave my daughter unto him, for he 
 sought to slay me. 
 
 11 Thus did he slander him, because he was desirous of his 
 kingdom. 
 
 12 Wherefore he took his daughter from him, and gave her 
 to Demetrius, and forsook Alexander, so that their hatred was 
 openly known. 
 
 13 Then Ptolemee entered into Antioch, where he set two 
 crowns upon his head, the crown of Asia, and of Egypt. 
 
 14 In the mean season was king Alexander in Silicia, because 
 those that dwelt in those parts had revolted from him. 
 
 15 But when Alexander heard of this, he came to war against 
 him : whereupon king Ptolemee brought forth his host, and met 
 him with a mighty power, and put him to flight. 
 
 10 So Alexander fled into Arabia, there to be defended; but 
 king Ptolemee was exalted : 
 
 1 7 For Zabdiel the Arabian took off Alexander's bead, and 
 sent it unto Ptolemee. 
 
 18 King Ptolemee also died the third day after, and they that 
 were in the strong holds were slain one of another. 
 
 19 By this means Demetrius reigned in the hundred three- 
 score and seventh year. 
 
 20 At the same time Jonathan gathered together them that 
 were in Judea, to take the tower that was in Jerusalem : and he 
 made many engines of war against it. 
 
 21 Then certain ungodly persons, who hated their own people, 
 went unto the king, and told him that Jonathan besieged the 
 tower. 
 
 22 Whereof when he heard, he was angry, and immediately 
 removing, he came to Ptolemais, and wrote unto Jonathan, that 
 he should not lay siege to the tower, but come and speak with 
 him at Ptolemais in great haste. 
 
 23 Nevertheless Jonathan, when he heard this, commanded 
 to besiege it still: and he chose certain of the elders of Israel, 
 and the priests, and put himself in peril; 
 
 24 And took silver, and gold, and raiment, and divers presents 
 besides, and went to Ptolemais unto the king, where he found 
 favour in his sight. 
 
 25 And though certain ungodly men of the people had made 
 complaints against him, 
 
 26 Yet the king entreated him as his predecessors had done 
 before, and promoted him in the sight of all his friends, 
 
 27 And confirmed him in the high priesthood, and in all the 
 mours that he had before, and gave him pre-eminence among 
 is chief friends.* 
 
 28 Then Jonathan desired the king, that he would make 
 Judea free from tribute, as also the three governments, with the 
 country of Samaria; and he promised him three hundred talents. 
 
 29 So the king consented, and wrote letters unto Jonathan of 
 all these things after this manner : 
 
 30 King Demetrius unto his brother Jonathan, and unto the 
 nation of the Jews, sendeth greeting : 
 
 31 We send you here a copy of the letter which we did write 
 unto our cousin Lasthenes concerning you, that ye might see it. 
 
 32 King Demetrius unto his father Lasthenes sendeth greeting : 
 
 33 We are determined to do good to the people of the Jews, 
 who are our friends, and keep covenants with us, because of their 
 good will towards us. 
 
 34 Wherefore we have ratified unto them the borders of Ju- 
 dea. with trie three governments of Aphcrema and Lydda and 
 
 98 
 
 Ramathem, that are added unto Judea from the country of Sa- 
 maria, and all things appertaining unto them, for all such as dc 
 sacrifice in Jerusalem, instead of the payments which the king 
 received of them yearly aforetime out of the fruits of the earth 
 and of trees. 
 
 35 And as for other things that belong unto us, of the tithes 
 and customs pertaining unto us, as also the salt-pits, and the 
 crown taxes, which are due unto us, we discharge them of them 
 all for their relief. 
 
 36 And nothing hereof shall be revoked from this time forth 
 for ever. 
 
 37 Now therefore see that thou make a copy of these things, 
 and let it be delivered unto Jonathan, and set upon the holy 
 mount in a conspicuous place. 
 
 38 After this, when king Demetrius saw that the land was 
 quiet before him, and that no resistance was made against him, 
 he sent away all his forces, every one to his own place, except 
 certain bands of strangers, whom he had gathered from the isles 
 of the heathen : wherefore all the forces of his fathers hated him-. 
 
 39 Moreover, there was one Tryphon, that had been of Alex- 
 ander's part afore, who, seeing that all the host murmured 
 against Demetrius, went to Simalcue the Arabian, that brought 
 up Antiochus the young son of Alexander, 
 
 40 And lay sore upon" him to deliver him this young Antio- 
 chus, that he might reign in his father's stead : he told him 
 therefore all that Demetrius had done, and how his men of war 
 were at enmity with him ; and there he remained a long season. 
 
 41 In the mean time Jonathan sent unto king Demetrius, that 
 he would cast those of the tower out of Jerusalem, and those 
 also in the fortresses : for they fought against Israel. 
 
 42 So Demetrius sent unto Jonathan, saying, I will not only 
 do this for thee and thy people, but I will greatly honour thee 
 and thy nation, if opportunity serve. 
 
 43 Now therefore thou shalt do well, if thou send me ir-pn to 
 help me ; for all my forces are gone from me. 
 
 44 Upon this Jonathan sent him three thousand strong men 
 unto Antioch: and when they came to the king, the kins; was 
 very glad of their coming. 
 
 45 Howbeit, they that were of the city gathered themselves 
 together into the midst of the city, to the number of an hundred 
 and twenty thousand men, and would have slain the king. 
 
 46 Wherefore the king fled into the court, but they of the 
 city kept the passages of the city, and began to fight. 
 
 47 Then the king called to the Jews for help, who came unto 
 him all at once, and, dispersing themselves through the city, slew 
 that day in the city to the number of an hundred thousand. 
 
 48 Also they set fire on the city, and gat many spoils that 
 day, and delivered the king. 
 
 49 So when they of the city saw that the Jews had got the 
 city as they would, their courage was abated : wherefore they 
 made supplication to the king, and cried, saying, 
 
 50 Grant us peace, and let the Jews cease from assaulting us 
 and the city. 
 
 51 With that they cast away their weapons, and made peace ; 
 and the Jews were honoured in the sight of the king, and in tL .* 
 sight of all that were in his realm ; and they returned to Jerusa- 
 lem, having great spoils. 
 
 52 So. king Demetrius sat on the throne of his kingdom, an 1 
 the land was quiet before him. 
 
 53 Nevertheless, he dissembled in all that ever he spake, an i 
 estranged himself from Jonathan, neither rewarded he him ac- 
 cording to the benefits which he had received of him. but trou- 
 bled him very sore. 
 
 54 After this returned Tryphon, and with him the young 
 child Antiochus, who reigned, and was crowned. 
 
 55 Then there gathered unto him all the men of war, whom 
 Demetrius had put away, and they fought against Demetrius, 
 who turned his back and fled. 
 
 56 Moreover Tryphon took the elephants, and won Antioch. 
 
 57 At that time young Antiochus wrote unto Jonathan, say 
 ing, I confirm thee in the high priesthood, and appoint thee ?ukr

 over the four governments, and to be one of the king's 
 friends. 
 
 58 Upon this he sent him golden vessels to be served in, and 
 gave him Leavfl to drink in gold, and to be clothod in purple, and 
 to wear a golden buckle. 
 
 59 His brother Simon also he made captain from the place 
 called. The ladder of Tyrus, unto the borders of Egypt. 
 
 60 Then Jonathan went forth, and passed through the cities 
 beyond the water, and all the forces of Syria gathered themselves 
 unto him for to help him : and when he came to Ascalon, they 
 of the city met him honourably. 
 
 61 From whence he went to Gaza, but they of Gaza shut him 
 out; wherefore belaid siege unto it, and burned the suburbs 
 thereof with fire, and spoiled them. 
 
 62 Afterward, when they of Gaza made supplication unto 
 Jonathan, he made peace with them, and took the sons of their 
 chief men for hostages, and sent them to Jerusalem, and passed 
 through the country unto Damascus. 
 
 1)3 Now when Jonathan heard that Demetrius' princes were 
 come to Cades, which is in Galilee, with a great power, purposing 
 to remove him out of the country, 
 
 64 He went to meet them, and left Simon his brother in the 
 country. 
 
 65 Then Simon encamped against Bethsura, and fought against 
 it a long season, and shut it up : 
 
 66 But they desired to have peace with him, which he granted 
 them, and then put them out from thence, and took the city, 
 and set a garrison in it. 
 
 67 As for Jonathan and his host, they pitched at the water 
 of Gennesar, from whence betimes in the morning they gat them 
 to the plain of Nasor. 
 
 68 And behold, the host of strangers met them in the plain, 
 who having laid men in ambush for him in the mountains, came 
 themselves over against him. 
 
 69 So when they that lay in ambush rose oat of their places, 
 and joined battle, all that were of Jonathan's side fled; 
 
 70 Insomuch as there was not one of them left, except Mat- 
 tathias the son of Absalom, and Judas the son of Calphi, the 
 captains of the host. 
 
 71 Then Jonathan rent his clothes, and cast earth upon his 
 head, and prayed. 
 
 7'2 Afterward turning again to battle, he put them to flight, 
 and so they ran away. 
 
 73 Now when his own men that were fled saw this, they 
 turned again unto him, and with him pursued them to Cades, 
 even unto their own tents, and there they camped. 
 
 74 So there were slain of the heathen that day about three 
 thousand men : but Jonathan returned to Jerusalem. 
 
 CHAPTER XII. 
 
 1 Jonathan reneweth his league with the Romans and Lacedemonians. 
 28 The forces of Demetrius, thinking to surprise Jonathan, flee 
 away for fear. 35. Jonathan fortifieth the castles in Judea, 48 and 
 is shut up by the fraud of Tryphon in Ptolemais. 
 
 NOW when Jonathan saw that the time served him, he chose 
 certain men, and sent them to Rome, for to confirm and 
 renew the friendship that they had with them. 
 
 2 He sent letters also to the Lacedemonians, and to other 
 places, for the same purpose. 
 
 8 So they went unto Rome, and entered into the senate, and 
 said, Jonathan the high priest, and the people of the Jews-, sent 
 us unto you, to the end ye should renew the friendship which ye 
 had with them, and league, as in former time. 
 
 4 Upon this the Romans gave them letters unto the governors 
 of every place, that they should bring them into the land of 
 Judea peaceably. 
 
 5 And this is the copy of the letters which Jonathan wrote 
 unto the Lacedemonians : 
 
 ti Jonathan tne hign priest, and the ciders of the nation, and 
 the priests, and the other people of the Jews, unto the Lacede- 
 monians their brethren, send greeting ■ 
 
 67 
 
 7 There were letters sent in times past unto Onias the high 
 priest from Darius, who reigned then among you, to signify tliat 
 ye are our brethren, as tho copy here underwritten duth 
 specify. 
 
 8 At which time Onias entreated the ambassador that was sent 
 honourably, and received the letters, wherein declaration was 
 made of the league and friendship. 
 
 9 Therefore we also, albeit we need none of these things, fen 
 that we have the holy books of scripture in our hands to comf;rt 
 us, 
 
 10 Have nevertheless attempted to send unto you for the 
 renewing of brotherhood and friendship, lest we should become 
 strangers unto you altogether; for there is a long time passed 
 since ye sent unto us. 
 
 11 We therefore at all times without ceasing, both in our 
 feasts, and other convenient days, do remember you in the sacri- 
 fices which we offer, and in our prayers, as reason is, and as it 
 becometh us to think upon our brethren : 
 
 12 And we are right giaa or your honour. 
 
 13 As for ourselves, we have had great troubles and wars on 
 every side, forasmuch as the kings that are round about us have 
 fought against us. 
 
 14 Howbeit, we would not be troublesome unto you, nor to 
 others of our confederates and friends, in these wars : 
 
 15 For we have help from heaven that succoureth us, so a? 
 we are delivered from our enemies, and our enemies are brought 
 under foot. 
 
 16 For this cause we chose Numenius the son of Antiochus, 
 and Antipater the son of Jason, and sent them unto the Ro- 
 mans, to renew the amity that we had with them, and the former 
 league. 
 
 17 We commanded them also to go unto you, and to salute 
 you, and to deliver you our letters concerning the renewing of 
 our brotherhood. 
 
 18 Wherefore now ye shall do well to give us an answer 
 thereto. 
 
 19 And this is the copy of the letters which Oniares sent. 
 
 20 Areus king of the Lacedemonians to Onias the high priest, 
 greeting : 
 
 21 It is found in writing, that the Lacedemonians and Jews 
 are brethren, and that they are Of the stock of Abraham : 
 
 22 Now, therefore, since this is come to our knowledge, y* 
 shall do well to write unto us of your prosperity. 
 
 23 We do write back again to you, that your cattle and gooas 
 are ours, and ours are yours. We do command therefore our 
 ambassadors to make report unto you on this wise. 
 
 24 Now when Jonathan heard that Demetrius' princes were 
 come to fight against him with a greater host than afore, 
 
 25 He removed from Jerusalem, and met them in the land 
 of Amathis : for he gave them no respite to enter his country. 
 
 26 He sent spies also unto -heir tents, who came again, and 
 told him that they were appointed to come upon them in tho 
 night season. 
 
 27 Wherefore so soon as the sun was down, Jonathan com- 
 manded his men to watch, and to be in arms,*that all the night 
 long they might be ready to fight : also he sent forth centinelfl 
 round about the host. 
 
 28 But wheu the adversaries heard that Jonathan and his 
 men were ready for battle, they feared, and trembled in their 
 hearts, and they kindled fires in their camp. 
 
 29 Howbeit Jonathan and his company knew it not till the 
 morninsr : for they saw the lights burning. 
 
 80 Then Jonathan pursued after them, but overtook them not: 
 for they were gone over the river Eleutherus. 
 
 31 Wherefore Jonathan turned to the Arabians, who were 
 called Zabadeans, and smote them, and took their spoils. 
 
 32 And removing thence, he came to Damascus, and so passed 
 through all the country. 
 
 33 Simon also went forth, and passed through the country 
 unto Ascalon, and the holds there adjoining, from whence lie 
 turned aside to Jeppe, and won it. 
 
 99 
 
Apocrypha. 
 
 I. MACCABEES. 
 
 Apocrypfc* 
 
 31 For lie bad heard that they would deliver the hold unto 
 Ibeui that took Demetrius' part; wherefore he set a garrison 
 there to keep it. 
 
 35 After this came Jonathan home again, and calling the 
 elders of the people together, he consulted with them about 
 building strong holds in Judea, 
 
 36 And making the walls of Jerusalem higher, and raising a 
 great mount between the tower and the city, for to separate it 
 from the city, that so it might be alone, that men might neither 
 sell nor buy in it. 
 
 37 Upon this they came together to build up the city, foras- 
 much as part of the wall towards the brook on the east side 
 was fallen down ; and they repaired that which was called 
 Caphenatha. 
 
 38 Simon also set up Adida in Sephcla, and made it strong 
 with gates and bars. 
 
 39 Now Tryphon went about to get the kingdom of Asia, 
 and tc kill Antiochus the king, that he might set the crown upon 
 his own head. 
 
 40 Howbeit, he was afraid that Jonathan would not suffer 
 him, and that he would fight against him ; wherefore he sought 
 a way how to take Jonathan, that he might kill him. So he 
 removed, and came to Bethsan. 
 
 41 Then Jonathan went out to meet him with forty thousand 
 men chosen for the battle, and came to Bethsan. 
 
 42 Now when Tryphon saw that Jonathan came with so great 
 a force, he durst not stretch his hand against him; 
 
 43 But received him honourably, and commended him unto 
 all his friends, and gave him gifts, and commanded of his men 
 of war to be as obedient unto him, as to himself. 
 
 44 Unto Jonathan also he said, Why hast thou put all this 
 people to so great trouble, seeing there is no war betwixt us ? 
 
 45 Therefore send them now home again, and choose a few men 
 to wait on thee, and come thou with me to Ptolemais, for I will 
 give it thee, and the rest of the strong holds and forces, and all 
 that have any charge : as for me, I will return and depart : for 
 this is the cause of my coming. 
 
 46 So Jonathan, believing him, did as he bade him, and sent 
 away his host, who went in the land of Judea. 
 
 47 And with himself he retained but three thousand men, of 
 whom he sent two thousand into Galilee, and one thousand went 
 with him. 
 
 48 Now as soon as Jonathan entered into Ptolemais, they of 
 Ptolemais shut the gates, and took him, and all them that came 
 with him they slew with the sword. 
 
 49 Then sent Tryphon a host of footmen and horsemen into 
 Galilee, and into the great plain, to destroy all Jonathan's 
 company. 
 
 50 But when they knew that Jonathan and they that were 
 with him were taken and slain, they encouraged one another, and 
 went close together, prepared to fight. 
 
 51 They therefore that followed upon them, perceiving that 
 they were ready to fight for their lives, turned back again. 
 
 52 Whereupon they all came into the land of Judea peaceably, 
 and there they bewailed Jonathan, and them that were with him, 
 
 nd they were sore afraid ; wherefore all Israel made great lamen- 
 tation. 
 
 53 Then all the heathen that were round about them sought 
 to destrov their) ■ <br, said they, They have no captain, nor any 
 to help them ; now therefore let us make war upon them, and 
 take away their memorial from among men 
 
 CHAPTER XIII 
 
 i Sr^on is made captain in his brother Jonathan's room. 19 Tryphon 
 getteth two of Jonathan's sons into his hands, and slayeth their 
 father. 27 The tomb of Jonathan. 36 Simon is favoured by Deme- 
 trius, 40 and winneth Gaza, and the tower of Jerusalem. 
 
 VTOW when Simon heard that Tryphon had gathered together 
 *-' a great host to invade the land of Judea, and destioy it, 
 
 100 
 
 2 And saw that the people was in great trembling and fear, 
 he went up to Jerusalem, and gathered the people together, 
 
 3 And gave them exhortation, saying, Ye yourselves know 
 what great things I, and my brethren, and my father's house, 
 have done for the laws and the sanctuary, the battles also and 
 troubles which we have seen. 
 
 4 By reason whereof all my brethren are slain for Israel's 
 sake, and I am left alone. ■ 
 
 5 Now therefore be it far from me, that I should spare mine 
 own life, in any time of trouble : for I am no better than my 
 brethren. 
 
 6 Doubtless I will avenge my nation, and the sanctuary, and 
 our wives, and our children : for all the heathen are gathered to 
 destroy us of very malice. 
 
 7 Now as soon as the people heard these words, their spirit 
 revived. 
 
 8 And they answered with a loud voice, saying, Thou shalt be 
 our leader instead of Judas and Jonathan thy brother. 
 
 9 Fight thou our battles, and whatsoever thou commandest us, 
 that will we do. 
 
 10 So then he gathered together all the men of war, and made 
 haste to finish the walls of Jerusalem, and he fortified it round 
 about. 
 
 11 Also he sent Jonathan the son of Absalom, and with him 
 a great power to Joppe : who casting out them that were therein, 
 remained there in it. 
 
 12 So Tryphon removed from Ptolemais with a great power 
 to invade the land of Judea, and Jonathan was with him in 
 ward. 
 
 13 But Simon pitched his tents at Adida, over against the 
 plain. 
 
 14 Now when Tryphon knew that Simon was risen up instead 
 of his brother Jonathan, and meant tn join battle with him, he 
 sent messengers unto him, saying, 
 
 15 Whereas we have Jonathan thy brother in hold, it is for 
 money that he is owing unto the king's treasure, concerning the 
 business that was committed unto him. 
 
 16 Wherefore now send an hundred talcnt-3 of silver, and two 
 of his sons for hostages, that when he is at liberty he may not 
 revolt from us, and we will let him go. 
 
 17 Hereupon Simon, albeit he perceived that they spake 
 deceitfully unto him, yet sent he the money and the children, 
 lest peradventure he should procure to himself great hatred of 
 the people : 
 
 18 Who might have said, Because I sent him not the money 
 and the children, therefore is Jonathan dead. 
 
 19 So he sent them the children and the hundred talents : 
 howbeit Tryphon dissembled, neither would he let Jonathan go. 
 
 20 And after this came Tryphon to invade the land, and 
 destroy it, going round about by the way that leadeth unto Adora : 
 but Simon and his host marched against him in every place, 
 wheresoever he went. 
 
 21 Now they that were in the tower sent messengers unto 
 Tryphon, to the end that he should hasten his coming unto them 
 by the wilderness, and send them victuals. 
 
 22 Wherefore Tryphon made ready all his horsemen to come 
 that night ; but there fell a very great snow, by reason whereof 
 he ean-e not. So he departed, and came into the country of 
 Galaad. 
 
 23 And when he came near to Bascama, he slew Jonathan, 
 who was buried there. 
 
 24 Afterward Tryphon returned and went into his own land. 
 
 25 Then sent Simon, and took the bones of Jonathan his 
 brother, and buried them in Modin, the city of his fathers. 
 
 26 And all Israel made great lamentation for him, and 
 bewailed him many days. 
 
 27 Simon also built a monument unon the sepulchre of his 
 father and his brethren, and raised it aloft to the sight, with hewn 
 stone, behind and before 
 
 28 Moreover, he set up seven pyramids, one against another, 
 for his father, and his mother, and his four brethren 
 
ipoorypb*. 
 
 chap, xiv 
 
 Apocrypha 
 
 29 And in these he made cunning devices, ahout the which 
 ue set great pillars, aoi pon the pillars he made all their armour 
 for a perpetual memory, and by the armour, ships carved, that 
 they might be seen of all that sail on the sea. 
 
 30 This is the sepulchre which he made at Modin, and it 
 Btandcth yet unto this day. 
 
 31 Now Tryphon dealt deceitfully with the young king Antio- 
 chus, and slew him. 
 
 32 And he reigned in his stead, and crowned himself king of 
 Asia, and brought a great calamity upon the land. 
 
 33 Then Simon built up the strong holds in Judea, and fenced 
 them about with high towers, and great walls, and gates, and 
 bars, and laid up victuals therein. 
 
 34 Moreover, Simon chose men, and sent to king Demetrius, 
 to the end he should give the land an immunity, because all that 
 Tryphon did was to spoil. 
 
 35 Unto whom king Demetrius answered and wrote after this 
 manner : 
 
 36 King Demetrius unto Simon the hi^i priest, and friend 
 of kings, as also unto the elders and nation of the Jews, sendeth 
 greeting : 
 
 37 The golden crown, and the scarlet robe, which ye sent unto 
 us, we have received : and we are ready to make a steadfast 
 peace with you, yea, and to write unto our officers, to confirm the 
 immunities which we have granted. 
 
 38 And whatsoever covenants we have made with you shall 
 stand : and the strong holds, which ye have builded, shall be 
 vnur own. 
 
 39 As for any oversight or fault committed unto this day, we 
 forgive it, and the crowu tax also, which ye owe us: and if 
 there were any other tribute paid in Jerusalem, it shall no more 
 be paid. 
 
 40 And look who are meet among you to be in our court, let 
 them be enrolled, and let there be peace betwixt us. 
 
 41 Thus the yoke of the heathen was taken away from Israel 
 in the hundred aud seventieth year. 
 
 42 Then the people of Israel began to write in their instru- 
 ments and contracts, In the first year of Simon the high priest, 
 the governor and leader of the Jews. 
 
 43 In those days Simon camped against Gaza, and besieged it 
 round about; he made also an engine of war, and set it by the 
 city, and battered a certain tower, and took it. 
 
 44 And they that were in the engine leaped into the city; 
 whereupon there was a great uproar in the city. 
 
 45 Insomuch as the people of the city rent their clothes, and 
 climbed upon the walls with their wives and children, and cried 
 with a loud voice, beseeching Simon to grant them peace. 
 
 46 And they said, Deal not with us according to our wicked- 
 ness, but according to thy mercy. 
 
 47 So Simon was appeased towards them, and fought no more 
 against them, but put them out of the city, and cleansed the 
 houses wherein the idols were, and so entered into it with songs 
 and with thanksgiving. 
 
 48 Yea, he put all uncleanness out of it, and placed such men 
 there as would keep the law, and made it stronger than it was 
 before, and built therein a dwelling place for himself. 
 
 49 They also of the tower in Jerusalem were kept so strait, 
 that they could neither come forth, nor go into the country, nor 
 buy, nor sell : wherefore they were in great distress for want 
 of victuals, and a great number of them perished through 
 famine. 
 
 50 Then cried they to Simon, beseeching him to be at one 
 with them : which thing he granted them ; and when he had put 
 them out from thence, he cleansed the tower from pollutions: 
 
 51 And entered into it the three and twentieth day of the 
 second month, in the hundred seventy and first year, with thanks- 
 giving, and branches of palm-trees, and with harps, and cymbals, 
 and with viols, and hymns, and songs : because there was de- 
 stroyed a great enemy out of Israel. 
 
 52 He ordained also that that day should be kept every year 
 with gladness. Moreover, the hill of the temple that was by the 
 
 tower he made stronger than it was, and there he dwelt himself 
 with his company. 
 
 53 And when Simon saw that John his son was a valiant 
 man, he made him captain of all the hosts; and he dwelt in Ga- 
 zara. 
 
 CHAPTER XIV. 
 
 8 Demetrius is taken by the king of Persia. 4 The good deeds of 
 Simon to his country. 18 The Lacedemonians and Romans renew 
 their league with him. 26 A memorial of his nets is Bet up in Sion. 
 
 NOW in the hundred threescore and twelfth year king Deme- 
 trius gathered his forces together, and went into Media, to 
 get him help to fight against Tryphon. 
 
 2 But when Arsaccs, the king of Persia and Media, heard 
 that Demetrius was entered within his borders, he scut one of his 
 princes to take him alive : 
 
 3 Who went and smote the host of Demetrius, and took him, 
 and brought him to Arsaccs, by whom he was put in ward. 
 
 4 As for the land of Judea, that was quiet all the days of 
 Simon; for he sought the good of his nation in such wise, as 
 that evermore his authority and honour pleased them well. 
 
 5 And as he was honourable in all his acts, so in this, that he 
 took Joppe for an haven, and made an entrance to the isles of 
 the sea, 
 
 6 And enlarged the bounds of his nation, and "recovered the 
 country, 
 
 7 And gathered together a great number of captives, and had 
 the dominion of Gazara, and Bethsura, and the tower, out of the 
 which he took all uncleanness, neither was there any that resisted 
 him. 
 
 8 Then did they till their ground in peace, and the earth gave 
 her increase, and the trees of the field their fruit. 
 
 9 The ancient men sat all in the streets, communing together 
 of good things, and the young men put on glorious and warlike 
 apparel. 
 
 10 He. provided victuals for the cities, and set in them all 
 manner of munition, so that his honourable name was renowned 
 unto the end of the world. 
 
 11 He made peace in the land, and Israel rejoiced with great 
 joy : 
 
 12 For every man sat under his vine and his fig-tree : and 
 there was none to fray them : 
 
 13 Neither was there any left in the land to fight against 
 them : yea, the kings themselves were overthrown in those days. 
 
 14 Moreover, he strengthened all those of his people thai 
 were brought low: the law he searched out; aud every contem- 
 ner of the law and wicked person he took away. 
 
 15 He beautified the sanctuary, and multiplied the vessels of 
 the temple. 
 
 16 Now when it was heard at Rome, and as far as Sparta, that 
 Jonathan was dead, they were very sorry. 
 
 17 But as soon as they heard that his brother Simon was 
 made high priest in his stead, aud ruled the country, and the 
 cities therein : 
 
 18 They wrote unto him in tables of brass, to renew the 
 friendship and league which they had made with Judas and 
 Jonathan his brethren : 
 
 19 Which writings were read before the congregation at Jeru- 
 salem. 
 
 20 And this is the copy of the letters that the Lacedemonians 
 sent; The rulers of the Lacedemonians, with the city, unto Si- 
 mon the high priest, and the elders, and priests, and residue of 
 the people of the Jews, our brethren, send greeting : 
 
 21 The ambassadors that were sent unto our people certified 
 us of your glory and honour : wherefore we were glad of their 
 coming, 
 
 22 And did register the things that they spake in the council 
 of the people in this manner, Numenius son of Antiochus. and 
 Antipater so?t of Jason, the Jews' ambassadors, came unto us to 
 renew the friendship they had with us. 
 
 23 And it pleased the people to eutcrtaiu the men honour- 
 
 101

 Apoery pha. 
 
 ably, and to put the copy of their ambassage in public records, 
 to the end the people of the Lacedemonians might have a memo- 
 rial thereof: furthermore, we have written a copy thereof unto 
 Simon the high priest. 
 
 24 After this. Simon sent Numcnius to Rome with a great 
 shield of gold of a thousand pound weight, to confirm the league 
 with them. 
 
 25 Whereof when the people heard, they said, What thanks 
 shall we give to Simon and his sous ? 
 
 26 For he and his brethren and the house of his father have 
 established Israel, and chased away in fight their enemies from 
 them, and confirmed their liberty. 
 
 27 So then they wrote it in tables of brass, which they set 
 upon pillars in mount Sion : and this is the copy of the writing ; 
 The eighteenth day of the month Elul, in the hundred threescore 
 and twelfth year, being the third year of Simon the high priest, 
 
 28 At Saramel in the great congregation of the priests, and 
 people, and rulers of the nation, and elders of the country, were 
 these things notified unto us. 
 
 29 Forasmuch as oftentimes there have been wars in the coun- 
 try, wherein for the maintenance of their sanctuary, and the law, 
 Simon the son of Mattathias, of the posterity of Jarib, together 
 with his brethren, put themselves in jeopardy, and, resisting the 
 enemies of their nation, did their nation great honour : 
 
 80 (For after that Jonathan, having gathered his nation to- 
 gether, and been their high priest, was added to his people, 
 
 31 Their enemies purposed to invade their country, that they 
 might destroy it, and lay hands on the sanctuary : 
 
 32 At which time Simon rose up, and fought for his nation, 
 and spent much of his own substance, and armed the valiant 
 men of his nation, and gave them wages, 
 
 33 And fortified the cities of Judea, together with Bethsura, 
 that lieth upon the borders of Judea, where the armour of the 
 enemies had been before ; but he set a garrison of Jews there : 
 
 34 Moreover, he fortified Joppe, which lieth upon the sea, 
 and Gazara, that bordereth upon Azotus, where the enemies had 
 dwelt before : but he placed Jews there, and furnished them with 
 all things convenient for the reparation thereof.) 
 
 35 The people therefore, seeing the acts of Simon, and unto 
 what glory he thought to bring his nation, made him their go- 
 vernor and chief priest, because he had done all these things, 
 and for the justice and faith which he kept to his nation, and for 
 that he sought by all means to exalt bis people. 
 
 36 For iu tii s time things prospered in his hands, so that the 
 heathen were taken out of their country, and they also that were 
 in the city of David in Jerusalem, who had made themselves a 
 tower, out of which they issued, and polluted all about the sanc- 
 tuary, and did much hurt in the holy place : 
 
 37 But he placed Jews therein, and fortified it for the safety 
 of the country and the city, and raised up the walls of Jerusalem. 
 
 38 King Demetrius also confirmed him in the high priesthood 
 ' according to those things, 
 
 39 And made him one of his friends, and honoured him with 
 great honour. 
 
 40 For he had heard say, that the Romans had called the 
 ews their friends and confederates and brethren ; and that they 
 ad entertained the ambassadors of Simon honourably; 
 
 41 Also that the Jews and priests were well pleased that Si- 
 mon should be their governor and high priest for ever, until there 
 should arise a faithful prophet ; 
 
 42 Moreover, that he should be their captain, and should take 
 charge of the sanctuary, to set them over their works, and over 
 the country, and over the armour, and over the fortresses, that, 
 / say, he should take charge of the sanctuary ; 
 
 43 Besides this, that he should be obeyed of every man, and 
 that all the writings in the country should be made in his name, 
 and that he should be clothed in purple, and wear gold : 
 
 44 Also that it should be lawful for none of the people or 
 priests to break any of these things, or to gainsay his words, or 
 to gather an assembly in the country without him, or to be 
 clothed in purple, or wear a buckle of gold : 
 
 102 
 
 45 And whosoever should do otherwise, or break any of these 
 things, he should be punished. 
 
 46 Thus it liked all the people to deal with Simon, and do as 
 hath been said. 
 
 47 Then Simon accepted hereof, and was well pleased to be 
 high priest, and captain and governor of the Jews and priests. 
 and to defend them all. 
 
 48 So they commanded that this writing should be put ic 
 tables of brass, and that they should be set up withiu the com 
 pass of the sanctuary in a conspicuous place; 
 
 49 Also that the copies thereof should be laid up in the trea- 
 sury, to the end that Simon and his sons might have them. 
 
 CHAPTER XV. 
 
 4 Antiochus desireth leave to pass through Judea, and granteth great 
 honours to Simon, and the Jews. 10 The Romans writt; to divers 
 kings and nations to favour the Jews. 27 Antiochus quarreleth 
 with Simon, 38 and sendeth some to annoy Judea. 
 
 1\, MOREOVER Antiochus, son of Demetrius the king, sent 
 -"J- letters from the isles of the sea unto Simon the priest aod 
 prince of the Jews, and to all the people ; 
 
 2 The contents whereof were these : King Antiochus to Simon 
 the high priest and prince of his nation, and to the people of the 
 Jews, greeting : 
 
 3 Forasmuch as certain pestilent men have usurped the king- 
 dom of our fathers, and my purpose is to challenge it again, that 
 I may restore it to the old estate, and to that end have gathered 
 a multitude of foreign soldiers together, and prepared ships of war ; 
 
 4 My meaning also being to go through the country, that I 
 may be avenged of them that have destroyed it, and made many 
 cities in the kingdom desolate : 
 
 5 Now therefore I confirm unto thee all the oblations which 
 the kings before me granted thee, and whatsoever gifts besides 
 they granted. 
 
 6 1 give thee leave also to coin money for thy country with 
 thine own stamp. 
 
 7 And as concerning Jerusalem and the sanctuary, let them 
 be free ; and all the armour that thou hast made, and fortresses 
 that thou hast built, and keepest in thine hands, let them remain 
 unto thee. 
 
 8 And if any thing be, or shall be, owing to the king, let it 
 be forgiven thee from this time forth for evermore. 
 
 9 Furthermore, when we have obtained our kingdom, we will 
 honour thee, and thy nation, and thy temple, with great honour, 
 so that your honour shall be known throughout the world. 
 
 10 In the hundred threescore and fourteenth year went Anti- 
 ochus into the land of his fathers : at which time all the forces 
 came together unto him, so that few were left with Tryphon. 
 
 11 Wherefore, being pursued by king Antiochus, he fled unto 
 Dora, which lieth by the sea-side : 
 
 12 For he saw that troubles came upon him all at once, and 
 that his forces had forsaken him. 
 
 13 Then camped Antiochus against Dora, having with him 
 an hundred and twenty thousand men of war, and eight thousanJ 
 horsemen. 
 
 14 And when he had compassed the city round about, and 
 joined ships close to the town on the sea-side, he vexed the jitj 
 by land and by sea, neither suffered he any to go out or in. 
 
 15 In the mean season came Numenius and his company from 
 Rome, having letters to the kings and countries; wherein weie 
 written these things : 
 
 16 Lucius, consul of the Romans, unto king Ptolemee. greeting: 
 
 17 The Jews' ambassadors, our friends and confederates, came 
 unto us to renew the old friendship and league being sent from 
 Simon the high priest, and from the people of the Jews : 
 
 18 And the;' brought a shield of gold of a thousand pound. 
 
 19 We thought it good therefore to write unto the kings an<! 
 countries, that tney should do them no harm, nor fight against them 
 their cities, or countries, nor yet aid their enemies against them 
 
 20 It seemed also good to us to receive the shield of them 
 
A?ocrypn | i'-

 Apocrypha. 
 
 21 If therefore there be any pestilent fellows, that have fled 
 f-oni their country unto you, deliver them unto Simon the high 
 priest, that he may punish them according to their own law. 
 
 22 The same things wrote he likewise uuto Demetrius the 
 king, and Attalus, to Ariarathes, and Arsaccs, 
 
 23 And to all the countries, and to Sampsames, and the Lace- 
 demonians, and to Delus, and Myndus, and Sicyon, and Caria, 
 and Samos, and Pamphylia, and Lycia, and llalicarnassus, and 
 Rhodus, and Phaselis, and Cos, and Side, and Aradus, and Gor- 
 tyna, and Cnidus, and Cyprus, and Cyrene. 
 
 21 And the copy hereof they wrote to Simon the high priest. 
 
 25 So Antiochus the king camped against Dora the second 
 lay, assaulting it continually, and making engines, by which 
 means he shut up Tryphon, that he could neither go out nor in. 
 
 26 At that time Simon sent him two thousand chosen men to 
 aid him; silver also, and gold, and much armour, 
 
 27 Nevertheless, he would not receive them, but brake all the 
 covenants which he had made with him afore, and became s trance 
 unto him. 
 
 28 Furthermore, he sent unto him Athenobius, one of his 
 friends, to commune with him, and say, Ye withhold Joppe and 
 G-azara, with. the tower that is in Jerusalem, which are cities of 
 my realm. 
 
 29 The borders thereof ye have wasted, and done great hurt 
 in the land, and got the dominion of many places within my 
 kingdom. 
 
 30 Now therefore deliver the cities which ye have taken, and 
 the tributes of the palaces whereof ye have gotten dominion with- 
 out the borders of Judea : 
 
 31 Or else give me fcr them five hundred talents of silver ; and 
 for the harm that ye have done, and the tributes of the cities other 
 five hundred talents: if not, we will come and fight against you. 
 
 32 So Athenobius the king's friend came to Jerusalem ; and 
 when he saw the glory of Simon, and the cupboard of gold and 
 silver plate, and his great attendance, he was astonished, and told 
 him the king's message. 
 
 33 Then answered Simon, and said unto him, We have neither 
 taken other men's land, nor holden that which appertaineth to 
 others, but the inheritance of our fathers, which our enemies had 
 wrongfully in possession a certain time. 
 
 34 Wherefore we, having opportunity, hold the inheritance of 
 our fathers. 
 
 35 And whereas thou demandest Joppe and G-azara, albeit 
 ihey did great harm unto the people in our country, yet will we 
 give an hundred talents for them. Hereunto Athenobius 
 answered him not a word ; 
 
 30 But returned in a rage to the king, and made report unto 
 aim of these speeches, and of the glory of Simon, and of all 
 that he had seen : whereupon the king was exceeding wroth. 
 
 37 In the mean time fled Tryphon by ship uuto Orthosias. 
 
 38 Then the king made Cendebeus captain of the sea-coast, 
 and gave him a host of footmen and horsemen, 
 
 39 And commanded him to remove his host towards Judea: 
 m\,^o he commanded him to build up Cedron, and to fortify the 
 gf.ces, and to war against the people; but as for the king himself, 
 be pursued Tryphou. 
 
 40 So Cendebeus came to Jamnia, and began to provoke the 
 people, and to invade Judea, aud to take the people prisoners, 
 and slay them. 
 
 41 And when he had built up Cedron, he set horsemen there, 
 aud a host of fool men, to the end that issuing out they might 
 make outroads upon the ways of Judea, as the king had com- 
 aiaudcd him. 
 
 CHAPTER XVI. 
 
 3 Judas and John prevail against the forces sent by Antiochus. 11 The 
 captain of Jericho inviteth Simon and two of his sons into his castle, 
 and there treacherously murdereth them. 19 John is sought for, 
 
 22 and escapeth, and killeth those that sought for liim. 
 
 •'THEN came up John from Gazara, and told Simon his father 
 1 vhat Cendebeus had doue. 
 
 2 Wherefore Simon called his two eldest sons, Judas and 
 John, and said unto them, I, and my brethren, and my father's 
 house, have ever from our youth uuto this day fought against 
 the enemies of Israel; and things have prospered BO well in our 
 hands, that we have delivered Israel oftentimes. 
 
 3 Rut now I am old, and ye, by God's mercy, arc of a suffi- 
 cient age : be ye instead of me and my brother, and go and light 
 for our nation, and the help from heaven be with you. 
 
 4 So he chose out of the country twenty thousand men of war 
 with horsemen, who went out against Cendebeus, and rested that 
 night at Modin. 
 
 5 And when as they rose in the morning, and went into the 
 plain, behold, a mighty great host both of footmen and horsemen 
 came against them : howbeit there was a water-brook betwixt tfaem. 
 
 6 So he and his people pitched over against them : and when 
 he saw that the people were afraid to go over the water-brook, he 
 went first over himself, and then the men seeing him, passi 1 
 through after him. 
 
 7 Thai done, he divided his men, and set the horsemen in 
 the midst of the footmen : for the enemies' horsemen were very 
 many. 
 
 8 Then sounded they with the holy trumpets : whereupon 
 Cendebeus and his host were put to flight, so that many of them 
 were slain, and the remnant gat them to the strong hold. 
 
 9 At that time was Judas, John's brother, wounded ; but 
 John still followed after them, until he came to Cedron, which 
 Cendebeus had built. 
 
 10 So they fled even unto the towers in the fields of Azotus ; 
 wherefore he burned it with fire : so that there were slain of them 
 about two thousand men. Afterward he returned into the land 
 of Judea in peace. 
 
 11 Moreover, in the plain of Jericho was Ptolemeus the sou 
 of Abubus made captaiu, and he had abundance of silver and 
 gold : 
 
 12 For he was the high priest's son-in-law. 
 
 13 Wherefore his heart being lifted up, he thought to get the 
 country to himself, and thereupon consulted deceitfully against 
 Simon and his sons to destroy them. 
 
 14 New Simon was visiting the cities that were in the country, 
 and taking care for the good ordering of them ; at which time 
 he came down himself to Jericho with his sons, Mattathias and 
 Judas, in the hundred threescore and seventeenth year, iu the 
 eleventh month, called Sabat: 
 
 15 Where the son of Abubus receiving them deceitfully into a 
 little hold called Docus, which he had built, made them a great 
 banquet : howbeit he had hid men there. 
 
 1(5 So when Simon and his sons had drunk largely, Ptolemee 
 and his men rose up, and took their weapons, aud came upon 
 Simon into the banqueting-place, aud slew him, and his two sons, 
 and certain of his servants. 
 
 17 In which doing he committed a great treachery, and 
 recompensed evil for good. 
 
 18 Then Ptolemee wrote these things, and sent to the king, 
 that he should send him a host to aid him, and he would deliver 
 him the country and cities. 
 
 19 He sent others also to Gazara to kill John : and unto the 
 tribunes he sent letters to come unto him, that he might give 
 them silver, and gold, and reward. 
 
 20 And others he sent to take Jerusalem, aud the mountain 
 of the temple. 
 
 21 Now one had run afore to Gazara, and told Join that h>s 
 father and brethren were slain, and, quoth he, Ptolemee hath sent 
 to slay thee also. 
 
 22 Hereof when he heard, he was sore astonished : so he laid 
 hands on them that were come to destroy him, and slew them; 
 for he knew that they sought to make him away. 
 
 23 As concerning the rest of the acts of John, and his wars, 
 and worthy deeds which he did, and the buildiug of the walls 
 which he made, and his doings, 
 
 24 Behold, these are written in the chromJes of Lis priest- 
 hood, from the time he was made high priest after his fathot

 CHAPTER I. 
 
 A letter of the Jews from Jerusalem to them of Egypt, to thank 
 God for the death of Antiochus. 19 Of the fire that was hidden 
 in the pit. 24 The prayer of Neemias. 
 
 'PIIE brethren, the Jews that be at Jerusalem and in the land 
 J- of Judca, wish unto the brethren, the Jews that are through- 
 out Egypt, health and peace : 
 
 2 God be gracious unto you, and remember his covenant that 
 he made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, his faithful servants; 
 
 3 And give you all a heart to serve him, and to do his will, 
 with a good courage and a willing mind ; 
 
 4 And open your hearts in his law and commandments, and 
 send you peace, 
 
 5 And hear your prayers, and be at one with you, and never 
 forsake you in time of trouble. 
 
 6 And now we be here praying for you. 
 
 7 What time as Demetrius reigned, in the hundred threescore 
 and ninth year, we the Jews wrote unto you in the extremity of 
 trouble that came upon us in those years, from the time that 
 Jason and his company revolted from the holy land and kingdom, 
 
 8 And burned the porch, and shed innocent blood : then we 
 prayed unto the Lord, and were heard ; we offered also sacrifices 
 and fine flour, and lighted the lamps, and set forth the loaves. 
 
 9 And now see that ye keep the feast of tabernacles in the 
 month Casleu. 
 
 10 In the hundred fourscore and eighth year, the people that 
 were at Jerusalem and in Judea, and the council, and Judas, 
 sent greeting and health unto Aristobulus, king Ptolemeus' mas- 
 ter, who was of the stock of the anointed priests, and to the Jews 
 that were in Egypt : 
 
 11 Insomuch as God hath delivered us from great perils, we 
 thank him highly, as having been in battle against a king. 
 
 12 For he cast them out that fought within the holy city. 
 
 13 For when the leader was come into Persia, and the army 
 with him that seemed invincible, they were slain in the temple 
 of Nanea by the deceit of Nanea's priests. 
 
 14 For Antiochus, as though he would marry her, came into 
 the place, and his friends that were with him, to receive money 
 in name of a dowry. 
 
 15 Which when the priests of Nanea had set forth, and he 
 was entered with a small company into the compass of the tem- 
 ple, they shut the temple as soon as Antiochus was come in : 
 
 16 And opening a privy door of the roof, they threw stones 
 like thunderbolts, and struck down the captain, hewed them in 
 pieces, smote off their heads, and cast them to those that were 
 without. 
 
 17 Blessed be our God in all things, who hath delivered up 
 he ungodly. 
 
 18 Therefore whereas we are now purposed to keep the puri- 
 fication of the temple upon the five and twentieth day of the 
 month Casleu, we thought it necessary to certify you thereof, that 
 ye also might keep it, as the feast of the tabernacles, and of the 
 fire, ichich was given us when Neemias offered sacrifice, after that 
 he had builded the temple and the altar. 
 
 19 For when our fathers were led into Persia, the priests that 
 were then devout took the fire of the altar privily, and hid it in 
 a hollow place of a pit without water, where they kept it sure, 
 so that the place was unknown to all men. 
 
 20 Now after many years, when it pleased God, Neemias, 
 being sent from the king of Persia, did send of the posterity of 
 those priests, that had hid it, to the fire : but when they told us 
 they found no fire, but thick water ; 
 
 21 Then commanded he them to draw it up, and to bring it ; 
 
 104 
 
 and when the sacrifices were laid on, Neemias commanded the 
 priests to sprinkle the wood and the things laid thereupon with 
 the water : 
 
 22 When this was done, and the time came that the sun 
 shone, which afore was hid in the cloud, there was a great fire 
 kindled, so that every man marvelled. 
 
 23 And the priests made a prayer whilst the sacrifice was con- 
 suming, I say, both the priests, and all the rest, Jonathan begin- 
 ning, and the rest answering thereunto, as Neemias did. 
 
 24 And the prayer was after this manner; Lord, Lord God, 
 Creator of all things, who art fearful and strong, and righteous, 
 and merciful, and the only and gracious King, 
 
 25 The only giver of all things, the only just, almighty, and 
 everlasting, thou that deliverest Israel from all trouble, and didst 
 choose the fathers, and sanctify them : 
 
 26 Receive the sacrifice for thy whole people Israel, and pre- 
 serve thine own portion, and sanctify it. 
 
 27 Gather those together that are scattered from us, delivei 
 them that serve among the heathen, look upon them that are 
 despised and abhorred, and let the heathen know that thou art 
 our God. 
 
 28 Punish them that oppress us, and with pride do us wrong 
 
 29 Plant thy people again in thy holy place, as Moses hath 
 spoken. 
 
 30 And the priests sung psalms of thanksgiving. 
 
 31 Now when the sacrifice was consumed, Neemias com- 
 manded the water that was left to be poured on the great stones 
 
 32 When this was done, there was kindled a flame : but i( 
 was consumed by the light that shined from the altar. 
 
 33 So when this matter was known, it was told the king of 
 Persia, that in the place, where the priests that were led away 
 had hid the fire, there appeared water, and that Neemias had 
 purified the sacrifices therewith. 
 
 34 Then the king, enclosing the place, made it holy, after he 
 had tried the matter. 
 
 35 And the king took many gifts, and bestowed thereof od 
 those whom he would gratify. 
 
 36 And Neemias called this thing Naphthar, which is as much 
 as to say, A cleansing : but many men call it Nephi. 
 
 CHAPTER II. 
 
 1 What Jeremy the prophet did : 5 How he hid the tabernacle, the 
 ark, and the altar. 13 What Neemias and Judas wrote. 20 What 
 Jason wrote in the five books. 25 And how those were abridged by 
 the author of this book. 
 
 IT is also found in the records, that Jeremy the prophet com- 
 manded them that were carried away to take of the fire, as it 
 hath been signified : 
 
 2 And how that the prophet, having given them the law, 
 charged them not to forget the commandments of .the Lord, an 1 
 that they should not err in their minds, when they see images of 
 silver and gold, with their ornaments. 
 
 3 And with other such speeches exhorted he them, that the 
 law should not depart from their hearts. 
 
 4 It was also contained in the same writing, that the prophet, 
 being warned of God, commanded the tabernacle and the ark to 
 go with him, as he went forth into the mountain, where Moses 
 climbed up, and saw the heritage of God 
 
 5 And when Jeremy came thither, he found a hollow cave, 
 wherein he laid the tabernacle, and the ark, and the altar of in- 
 cense, and so stopped the door. 
 
 6 And some of those that followed him came to mark the way, 
 but they could not find it. 
 
 7 Which when Jeremy perceived, he blamed them, saying, 
 
Xpocry] lia 
 
 chap. in. 
 
 Arocrypn* 
 
 As for that place, it shall be unknown until the tune that God 
 gather his people again together, and receive them unto mercy. 
 
 8 Then shall the Lord show them these things, and the glory 
 of the Lord shall appear, and the cloud also, as it was showed 
 unto Moses, and as when Solomon desired that the place might 
 be honourably sanctified. 
 
 9 It was also declared, that he being wise offered the sacrifice 
 of dedication, and of the finishing of the temple. 
 
 10 And as when Moses prayed unto the Lord, the fire came 
 down from heaven, and consumed the sacrifices : even so prayed 
 Solomon also, and the fire came down from heaven, and consumed 
 the burnt-offerings. 
 
 11 And Moses said, Because the sin-offering was not to be 
 eaten, it was consumed. 
 
 12 So Solomon kept those eight days. 
 
 13 The same things also were reported in the writings and 
 commentaries of Neemias; and how he, founding a library, gath- 
 ered together the acts of the kings, and the prophets, and of 
 David, and the epistles of the kings concerning the holy 
 gifts. 
 
 14 In like manner also Judas gathered together all those 
 things that were lost by reason of the war we had, and they re- 
 main with us. 
 
 15 Wherefore if ye have need thereof, send some to fetch them 
 unto you. 
 
 16 Whereas we then are about to celebrate the purification, 
 we have written unto you, and ye shall do well, if ye keep the 
 same days. 
 
 17 We hope also, that the God, that delivered all his people, 
 and gave them all a heritage, and the kingdom, and the priest- 
 hood, and the sanctuary, 
 
 18 As he promised in the law, will shortly have mercy upon 
 us, and gather us together out of every laud under heaven into 
 the holy place : for he hath delivered us out of great troubles, 
 and hath purified the place. 
 
 19 Now as concerning Judas Maccabeus, and his brethren, 
 and the purification of the great temple, and the dedication of the 
 altar, 
 
 20 And the wars against Antiochus Epiphancs, and Eupator 
 his son, 
 
 21 And the manifest signs that came from heaven unto those 
 that behaved themselves manfully to their honour for Judaism : 
 so that, being but a few, they overcame the whole country, and 
 chased barbarous multitudes, 
 
 22 And recovered again the temple renowned all the world 
 over, and freed the city, and upheld the laws which were going 
 down, the Lord being gracious unto them with all favour: 
 
 23 All these things, I say, being declared by Jason of Cyrene 
 in five books, we will assay to abridge in one volume. 
 
 24 For considering the infinite number, and the difficulty 
 which they find that desire to look into the narrations of the story, 
 for the variety of the matter, 
 
 25 We have been careful, that they that will read might have 
 delight, and that they that are desirous to commit to memory 
 might have ease, and that all into whose hands it comes might 
 have profit. 
 
 26 Therefore to us, that have taken upon us this painful 
 labour of abridging, it was not easy, but a matter of sweat and 
 watching; 
 
 27 Even as it is no ease unto him that prepareth a banquet, 
 and seeketh the benefit of others : yet for the pleasuring of many 
 we will undertake gladly this great pains ; 
 
 28 Leaving to the author the exact handling of every parti- 
 cular, and labouring to follow the rules of an abridgment. 
 
 29 For as the master-builder of a new house must care for the 
 whole building; but he that undertaketh to set it out, and paint 
 it, must seek out fit things for the adorning thereof: even so I 
 think it is with us. 
 
 30 To stand upon every point, and go over things at large, 
 and tc be curious in particulars, belongeth to the first author of 
 the story : 
 
 
 
 31 I?ut to use brevity, and avoid much labouring of ihe work, 
 is to be granted to him that will make an abridgment. 
 
 32 Here then will wc begin the story : only adding thus much 
 to that which hath been said, that it is a foolish thing to make a 
 long prologue, and to be short in the story itself. 
 
 CHAPTER III. 
 
 1 Of the honour done to the temple by the kings of the Gentiles. 
 Simon uttercth what treasures are in the temple. 7 Heliodonu 
 sent to take them away : 24 He is stricken of God, and healed a 
 the prayer of Ouias. 
 
 NOW when the holy city was inhabited with all peace, and the 
 laws were kept very well, because of the godliness of Onias 
 the high priest, and his hatred of wickedness, 
 
 2 It came to pass that even the kings themselves did honour 
 the place, and magnify the temple with their best gifts; 
 
 3 Insomuch that Selcucus king of Asia, of his own revenues, 
 bare all the costs belonging to the service of the sacrifices. 
 
 4 But one Simon, of the tribe of Benjamin, who was made 
 governor of the temple, fell out with the high priest about dis- 
 order in the city. 
 
 5 And when he could not overcome Onias, he gat him to Apol- 
 lonius the son of Thraseas, who then was governor of Celosyria 
 and Phenice, 
 
 6 And told him that the treasury in Jerusalem was full of 
 infinite sums of money, so that the multitude of their riches, 
 which did not pertain to the account of the sacrifices, was innu- 
 merable, and that it was possible to bring all into the king'? 
 hand. 
 
 7 Now when Apollonius came to the king, and had showed 
 him of the money whereof he was told, the king chose out He- 
 liodorus his treasurer, and sent him with a commandment to 
 bring him the aforesaid money. 
 
 8 So forthwith Heliodorus took his journey, under a colour' 
 of visiting the cities of Celosyria and Phenice, but indeed to ful- 
 fil the king's purpose. 
 
 9 And when he was come to Jerusalem, and had been cour- 
 teously received of the high priest of the city, he told him what 
 intelligence was given of the money, and declared wherefore he 
 came, and asked if these things were so indeed. 
 
 10 Then the high priest told him that there was such money 
 laid up for the relief of widows and fatherless children : 
 
 11 And that some of it belonged to Hircanus son of Tobias, 
 a man of great dignity, and not as that wicked Simon had mis- 
 informed : the sum whereof in all was four hundred talents of 
 silver, and two hundred of gold : 
 
 12 And that it was altogether impossible that such wroDgs 
 should be done unto them, that had committed it to the holiness 
 of the place, and to the majesty and inviolable sanctity of the 
 temple, honoured over all the world. 
 
 13 But Heliodorus, because of the king's commandment given 
 him, said, That in any wise it must be brought into the king's 
 treasury. 
 
 14 So at the day which he appointed he entered in to order 
 this matter : wherefore there was no small agony throughout tha 
 whole city. 
 
 15 But the priests, prostrating themselves before the altar in 
 the priests' vestments, called unto heaven upon him that made 
 a law concerning tilings given to be kept, that they should safely 
 be preserved for such as had committed them to be kept. 
 
 16 Then whoso had looked the high priest in the face, it would 
 have wounded his heart : for his countenance and the chauging 
 of his colour declared the inward agony of his mind. 
 
 17 For the man was so compassed with fear and horror of the 
 body, that it was manifest to them that looked upon him, what 
 sorrow he had now in his heart. 
 
 18 Others ran flocking out of their houses to the general sup- 
 plication, because the place was like to come into contempt 
 
 19 And the women, girt with Backcloth under their breasts, 
 abounded in the streets : and the virgins that were kept in, ran,

 some to the gates, ami some to the walls, and others looked out 
 of the windows. 
 
 20 And all holding their hands towards heaven, made suppli- 
 cation. * 
 
 21 Then it would have pitied a man to see the falling down 
 of the multitude of all sorts, and the fear of the high priest, being 
 in such an agony. 
 
 22 They then called upon the Almighty Lord to keep the things 
 committed of trust safe and sure for those that had committed them. 
 
 23 Nevertheless, Heliodorus executed that which was decreed. 
 
 24 Now as he was there present himself with his guard about 
 the treasury, the Lord of spirits, and the Prince of all power, 
 caused a great apparition, so that all that presumed to come in 
 with him were astonished at the power of God, and fainted, and 
 were sore afraid. 
 
 25 For there appeared unto them a horse with a terrible rider 
 upon him, and adorned with a very fair covering, and he ran 
 fiercely, and smote at Heliodorus with his fore-feet, and it seemed 
 that he that sat upon the horse had complete harness of gold. 
 
 20 Moieuver, two other young men appeared before him, no- 
 table in strength, excellent in beauty, and comely in apparel, who 
 stood by him on either side, and scourged him continually, and 
 gave him many sore stripes. 
 
 27 And Heliodorus fell suddenly unto the ground, and was 
 compassed with great darkness : but they that were with him 
 took him up, and put him into a litter. 
 
 28 Thus him, that lately came with a great train and with all 
 his guard into the said treasury, they carried out, being unable 
 to help himself with his weapons : and manifestly they acknow- 
 ledged the power of God : 
 
 29 For he by the hand of God was cast down, and lay speech- 
 less without all hope of life. 
 
 30 But they praised the Lord, that had miraculously honoured 
 his own place : for the temple, which a little afore was full of 
 fear and trouble, when the Almighty Lord appeared was filled 
 with joy and gladness. 
 
 31 Then straightways certain of Heliodorus' friends prayed 
 Onias, that he would call upon the Most High, to grant him his 
 life, who lay ready to give up the ghost. 
 
 32 So the high priest, suspecting lest the king should miscon- 
 ceive that some treachery had been done to Heliodorus by the 
 Jews, offered a sacrifice for the health of the man. 
 
 33 Now as the high priest was making an atonement, the same 
 young men in the same clothing appeared and stood beside Heli- 
 odorus, saying, Give Onias the high priest great thanks, insomuch 
 as for his sake the Lord hath granted thee life : 
 
 34 Aud seeing that thou hast been scourged from heaven, de- 
 clare unto all men the mighty power of God. And when they 
 h" i spoken these words, they appeared no more. 
 
 35 So Heliodorus, after he had offered sacrifice unto the Lord, 
 an 1 made great vows unto him that had saved his life, and saluted 
 Onias, returned with his host to the king. 
 
 36 Then testified he to all men the works of the great God, 
 which he had seen with his eyes. 
 
 37 And when the king asked Heliodorus, who might be a fit 
 man to be sent yet once again to Jerusalem, he said, 
 
 38 If thou hast any enemy or traitor, send him thither, and 
 thou shalt receive him well scourged, if he escape with his life : 
 for in that place, no doubt, there is an especial power of God. 
 
 39 For he that dwelleth in heaven hath his eye on that place, 
 and defendeth it; and he beateth and destroyeth them that come 
 to hurt it. 
 
 40 And the things concerning Heliodorus, and the keeping 
 of the treasury, fell out on this sort. 
 
 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 1 Simon slandereth Onias. 7 Jason, by corrupting the king, obtaineth 
 the office of the high priest. 24 Menelaus getteth the same from 
 Jason by the like corruption. 34 Andronicus traitorously murder- 
 eth Onias. 36 The king being informed thereof, causeth Androni- 
 cus to be put to death. 39 The wickedness of Lysimachus, by the 
 instigation of IVIenelaus. 
 
 106 
 
 THIS Simon now, of whom we spake afore, having been a be- 
 wraycr of the money, and of his country, slaudered Onias, 
 as if he had terrified Heliodorus, and been the worker of these 
 evils. 
 
 2 Thus was he bold to call him a traitor, that had deserved 
 well of the city, and tendered his own nation, and was so zealous 
 of the laws. 
 
 3 But when their hatred went so far, that by one of Simon's 
 faction murders were committed, 
 
 4 Onias seeing the danger of this contention, and that Apol- 
 lonius, as being the governor of Celosyria and Phenice, did rage, 
 and increase Simon's malice, 
 
 5 He went to the king, not to be an accuser of his country- 
 men, but seeking the good of all, both public and private : 
 
 6 For he saw that it was impossible that the state should con- 
 tinue quiet, and Simon leave his folly, unless the king did look 
 thereunto. 
 
 7 But after the death of Seleucus, when Antiochus, called 
 Epiphanes, took the kingdom, Jason the brother of Onias la- 
 boured underhand to be high priest. 
 
 8 Promising unto the king by intercession three hundred and 
 threescore talents of silver, aud of another revenue eighty 
 talents : 
 
 9 Beside this, he promised to assign an hundred and fifty 
 more, if he might have license to set him up a place for exercise, 
 and for the training up of youth in the fashions of the heathen, 
 and to write them of Jerusalem by the name of Antiochians. 
 
 10 Which when the king had granted, and he had gotten into 
 his hand the rule, he forthwith brought his own nation to the 
 Greekish fashion. 
 
 11 And the royal privileges granted of special favour to the 
 Jews by the means of John the father of Eupolemus, who went 
 ambassador to Rome for amity and aid, he took away ; and put- 
 ting down the governments which were according to the law, he 
 brought up new customs against the law : 
 
 12 For he built gladly a place of exercise under the tower 
 itself, and brought the chief young men under his subjection, 
 and made them wear a hat. 
 
 13 Now such was the height of Greek fashions, and increase 
 of heathenish manners, through the exceeding profaneness of 
 Jason, that ungodly wretch, and not high priest; 
 
 14 That the priests had no courage to serve any more at the 
 altar, but despising the temple, and neglecting the sacrifices, 
 hastened to be partakers of the unlawful allowance in the place 
 of exercise, after the game of Discus called them forth ; 
 
 15 Not setting by the honours of their fathers, but liking the 
 glory of the Grecians best of all. 
 
 16 By reason whereof sore calamity came upon them : for 
 they had them to be their enemies and avengers, whose custom 
 they followed so earnestly, aud unto whom they desired to be 
 like in all things. 
 
 17 For it is not a light thing to do wickedly against the laws 
 of God : but the time following shall declare these things. 
 
 18 Now when the game that was used every fifth year was 
 kept at Tyrus, the king being present, 
 
 19 This ungracious Jason sent special messengers from Jeru- 
 salem, who were Antiochians, to carry three hundred drachms 
 of silver to the sacrifice of Hercules, which even the bearers 
 thereof thought fit not to bestow upon the sacrifice, because it 
 was not convenient, but to be reserved for other charges. 
 
 20 This money then, in regard of the sender, was appointed 
 to Hercules' sacrifice ; but because of the bearers thereof, it was 
 employed to the making of galleys. 
 
 21 Now when Apollonius the son of Menestheus was sent into 
 Egypt for the coronation of king Ptolemeus Philometer, Antio- 
 chus, understanding him not to be well affected to his affairs, 
 provided for his own safety : whereupon he came to Joppe, and 
 from thence to Jerusalem : 
 
 22 Where he was honourably received of Jason, and of the 
 city, and was brought in with torch-light, and with great shout- 
 ings : and so afterward went with his host unto Phenioe 
 
Apoorypha. 
 
 CHAP. V, 
 
 Apocry^ n <»- 
 
 2!5 Tliroc years afterward, Jason sent Metifelaiis, t!ie aforesaid 
 Simon's brother, to bear the money unto the king, and to put 
 him in mind of certain accessary matters. 
 
 24 But he being brought to the presence of the king, when 
 he had magnified him for the glorious appearance of his power, 
 got the priesthood to himself, offering more than Jason by three 
 hundred talents of silver. 
 
 25 So he came with the king's mandate, bringing nothing 
 worthy the high priesthood, but having the fury of a cruel tyrant, 
 and the rage of a savage beast. 
 
 26 Then Jason, who had undermined his own brother, being 
 undermined by another, was compelled to flee into the country 
 of the Ammonites. 
 
 27 So Menelaus got the principality : but as for the money 
 that he had promised unto the king, he took no good order for 
 it, albeit Sostratus the ruler of the castle required it : 
 
 28 For unto him appertained the gathering of the customs. 
 Wherefore they were both called before the king. 
 
 . 29 Now Menelaus left his brother Lysimaehus in his stead in 
 the priesthood j and Sostratus left Crates, who was governor of 
 the Cyprians. 
 
 30 While those things were in doing, they of Tarsus and 
 Mallos made insurrection, because they were given to the king's 
 concubine, called Antiochis. 
 
 31 Then came the king in all haste to appease matters, leav- 
 ing Andronicus, a mau in authority, for his deputy. 
 
 32 Now Menelaus, supposing that he had gotten a convenient 
 time, stole certain vessels of gold out of the temple, and gave 
 some of them to Andronicus, and some he sold into Tyrus and the 
 cities round about. 
 
 33 Which when Onias knew of a surety, he reproved him, 
 and withdrew himself into a sanctuary at Daphne, that lieth by 
 Antiochia. 
 
 34 Wherefore Menelaus, talcing Andronicus apart, prayed him 
 to get Onias into his hands; who being persuaded thereunto, and 
 coni'ng to Onias in deceit, gave him his right hand with oaths; 
 and though he were suspected hy him, yet persuaded he him to 
 come forth of the sanctuary: whom forthwith he shut up with- 
 out regard of justice. 
 
 35 For the which cause not only the Jews, but many also of 
 other natious, took great indignation, aud were much grieved 
 for the unjust murder of the man. 
 
 36 And when the king was come again from the places about 
 Cilicia, the Jews that were in the city, and certain of the Greeks 
 that abhorred the fact also, complained because Onias was slain 
 without cause. 
 
 37 Therefore Antiochus was heartily sorry, and moved to pity, 
 and wept, because of» the sober and modest belmiour of him 
 that was dead. 
 
 38 Aud being kindled with anger, forthwith he took away 
 Anironicus his purple, and rent off his clothes, and leading him 
 through the whole city unto that very place, where he had com- 
 mitted impiety against Onias, there slow he the cursed murderer. 
 Thus the Lord rewarded him his punishment, as he had de- 
 served. 
 
 39 Now when many sacrileges had been committed in the city 
 by Lysimaehus with the consent of Menelaus, and the bruit 
 thereof was spread abroad, the multitude gathered themselves 
 together against Lysimaehus, ma iy vessels of gold being already 
 carried away. 
 
 40 Whereupon the common people rising, and being filled 
 with rage, Lysimaehus armed about three thousand men, and 
 began first to offer violence ; on? Auranus being the. leader, a 
 man far gone in years, and no less in folly. 
 
 41 They then seeing the attempt of Lysimaehus, some of them 
 caught stones, some clubs, others taking handfuls of dust, that 
 was next at hand, cast them altogether upon Lysimaehus, and 
 those that set upon them. 
 
 42 Thus many of them the}' wounded, and some they struck 
 to the ground, and all of Ihcm they forced to flee : but as for the 
 ^lurch-robber himself him they killed beside the treasury 
 
 43 Of these matters therefore there was an accusation laid 
 against Menelaus. 
 
 44 Now when the king came to Tyrus, three men that were 
 sent from the senate pleaded the cause before him : 
 
 45 Hut Menelaus, being now convicted, promised Ptolemee 
 the son of Dorymenes, to give him much money if he would 
 pacify the king towards him. 
 
 46 Whereupon Ptolemee taking the king aside int/ a certain 
 gallery, as it were to take the air, brought him to be o*' another 
 mind : 
 
 47 Insomuch that he discharged Menelaus from th<> accusa 
 tions, who notwithstanding was cause of all the iuiscbicf : ana 
 those poor men, who, if they had told their cause, yea, beforo 
 the Scythians, should have been judged innocent, then* he con 
 deiuued to death. 
 
 4S Thus they that followed the matter for I he city and for 
 the people, aud for the holy vessels, did soon suffer unjust pun- 
 ishment. 
 
 49 Wherefore even they of Tyrus, moved with hatred of that 
 wicked deed, caused them to be honourably buried. 
 
 50 And so, through the covetousness of them that ware of 
 power, Menelaus remained still in authority, increasing in n-alice, 
 and being a great traitor to the citizens. 
 
 CHAPTER V. 
 
 2 Of the signs and tokens seen in Jerusalem. 6 Of the end and wick- 
 edness of Jason. 11 The pursuit of Antiochus against the Jews. 
 15 The spoiling of the temple. 27 Maccabeus fleeth into the wil- 
 derness. 
 
 ABOUT the same time Antiochus prepared his second voyage 
 into Egypt: 
 
 2 And then it happened, that through all the city, for the 
 space almost of forty days, there were seen horsemen running 
 in the air, in cloth of gold, and armed with lances, like a band 
 of soldiers, 
 
 3 And troops of horsemen in array, encountering and running 
 one against another, with shaking of shields, and iiultitudc of 
 pikes, and drawing of swords, and casting of darts, and glittering 
 of golden ornaments, and harness o*" all sorts. 
 
 4 Wherefore every man prayed that that apparition might turn 
 to good. 
 
 5 Now when there was gone forth a false rumour, as though 
 Antiochus had been dead, Jason took at the least a thousand 
 men, and suddenly made an assault upon the city; and they that 
 were upon the walls being put back, and the city at length taken, 
 Menelaus fled into the castle : 
 
 6 But Jason slew his own citizens without mercy, not consi- 
 dering that to get the day of them of his own nation would bo 
 a most unhappy day for him ; but thinking they had been his 
 enemies, and not his countrymen, whom he conquered. 
 
 7 Howbeit, for all this he obtained not the principality, but 
 at the last received shame for the reward of his treason, and fled 
 again into the country of the Ammonites. 
 
 8 In the end therefore he had an unhappy return, being ac- 
 cused before Aretas the king of the Arabians, fleeing from city 
 to city, pursued of all men, hated as a forsaker of the laws, and 
 being had in abomination as an open enemy of his country aud 
 countrymen, he was cast out into Egypt. 
 
 9 Thus he that had driven many out of their country, perished 
 in a strange land, retiring to the Lacedemonians, and thinking 
 there to find succour by reason of his kindred : 
 
 10 And he that had cast out many unburied had none to 
 mourn for him, nor any solemn funerals at all, nor sepulchro 
 with his fathers. 
 
 11 Now when this that was done came to the king's ear, he 
 thought that Judea had revolted: whereupon remoung out of 
 Egypt in a furious mind, he took the city by force of arms, 
 
 12 And commanded his men of war not to spare such as they 
 met, and to slay such as went up upon the houses. 
 
 13 Thus there was killiug of young aud old, making away <•( 
 men, women, and children, slaving of virgins and infants 
 
 107 
 
'Apocrypha. 
 
 II. MACCABEES. 
 
 Apocrypha 
 
 14 And there were destroyed within three whole days four- 
 score thousand, whereof forty thousand were slain in the con- 
 flict ; and no fewer sold than slain. 
 
 15 Yet was he not content with this, but presumed to go into 
 the most holy temple of all the world ; Menelaus, that traitor to 
 Mie laws, and to his own country, being his guide : 
 
 16 And taking the holy vessels with polluted hands, and with 
 profane hands pulling down the things that were dedicated by 
 other king3 to the augmentation and glory and honour of the 
 place, he gave them away. 
 
 17 And so haughty was Antiochus in mind, that he considered 
 not that the Lord was angry for awhile for the sins of them that 
 dwelt in the city, and therefore his eye was not upon the place. 
 
 18 For had they not been formerly wrapped in many sins, 
 this man, as soon as he had come, had forthwith been scourged, 
 unci put back from his presumption, as Heliodorus was, whom 
 Scleucus the king sent to view the treasury. 
 
 19 Nevertheless, God did not choose the people for the place's 
 sake, but the place for the people's sake. 
 
 20 And therefore the place itself, that was partaker with them 
 of the adversity that happened to the nation, did afterward com- 
 municate in the benefits sent from the Lord : and as it was for- 
 saken iu the wrath of the Almighty, so again, the great Lord 
 being reconciled, it was set up with all glory. 
 
 21 So when Antiochus had carried out of the temple a thou- 
 sand and eight hundred talents, he departed in all haste unto 
 Antiochia, weening in his pride to make the land navigable, and 
 the sea passable by foot : such was the haughtiness of his mind. 
 
 22 And he left governors to vex the nation : at Jerusalem, 
 Philip, for his country, a Phrygian, and for manners more barba- 
 rous than he that set him there; 
 
 23 And at Garazim, Andronicus ; and besides, Menelaus, who 
 worse than all the rest bare a heavy hand over the citizens, hav- 
 ing a malicious mind against his countrymen the Jews. 
 
 24 He sent also that detestable ringleader Apollonius with an 
 army of two and twenty thousand, commanding him to slay all 
 those that were in their best age, and to sell the women and the 
 younger sort : 
 
 25 Who coming to Jerusalem, and pretending peace, did for- 
 bear till the holy-day of the sabbath, when taking the Jews 
 keeping holy-day, he commanded his men to arm themselves. 
 
 26 And so he slew all them that were gone to the celebrating 
 of the sabbath, and running through the city with weapons slew 
 great multitudes. 
 
 27 But Judas Maccabeus with nine others, or thereabout, 
 withdrew himself into the wilderness, and lived iu the mountains 
 after the manner of beasts, with his company, who fed on herbs 
 continually, lest they should be partakers of the pollution. 
 
 CHAPTER VI. 
 
 1 The Jews are compelled to leave the law of God. 4 The temple is 
 defiled. 8 Cruelty upon the people and the women. 12 An exhort- 
 atioa to bear affliction, by the example of the valiant courage of 
 Eleazarus, cruelly tortured. 
 
 NOT long after this the king sent an old man of Athens to 
 compel the Jews to depart from the laws of their fathers, 
 and not to live after the laws of God : 
 
 2 And to pollute also the temple in Jerusalem, and to call it 
 the temple of Jupiter Olympius : and that in Garizim, of Jupiter 
 the Defender of strangers, as they did desire that dwelt in the 
 place. 
 
 3 The coming in of this mischief was sore and grievous to the 
 people : 
 
 4 For the temple was filled with riot and revelling by the Gen- 
 tiles, who dallied with harlots, and had to do with women within 
 the circuit of the holy places, and besides that brought iu things 
 that were not lawful. 
 
 5 The altar also was filled with profane things, which the law 
 forbiddeth. 
 
 6 Neither was it lawful for a man to keep sabbath-days or 
 ancient feasts, or to profess himself at all to be a Jew. 
 
 108 
 
 7 And in the day of the king's birth, every month they were 
 brought by bitter constraint to eat of the sacrifices ; and wheu the 
 feast of Bacchus was kept, the Jews were compelled to go iu 
 procession to Bacchus, carrying ivy. 
 
 8 Moreover, there went out a decree to the neighbour cities 
 of the heathen, by the suggestion of Ptolemee, against the Jews, 
 that they should observe the same fashions, and be partakers of 
 their sacrifices : 
 
 9 And whoso would not conform themselves to the manners 
 of the Gentiles should be put to death. Then might a man have 
 seen the present misery. 
 
 10 For there were two women brought, who had circumcised 
 their children ; whom when they had openly led round about the 
 city, the babes hanging at their breasts, they cast them down 
 headlong from the wall. 
 
 11 And others, that had run together into caves near by, to 
 keep the sabbath-day secretly, being discovered to Philip, were 
 all burnt together, because they made a conscience to help them- 
 selves for the honour of the most sacred day. 
 
 12 Now I beseech those that read this book, that they be not 
 discouraged for these calamities, but that they judge those pun 
 ishments not to be for destruction, but for a chastening of our 
 nation. 
 
 13 For it is a token of his great goodness, when wicked doers 
 are not suffered any long time, b.ut forthwith punished. • 
 
 14 For not as with other nations, whom the Lord patiently 
 forbeareth to punish, till they be come to the fulness of their 
 sins, so dealeth he with us, 
 
 15 Lest that, being come to the height of sin, afterward he 
 should take vengeance of us. 
 
 16 And therefore he never withdraweth his mercy from us : 
 and though he punish with adversity, yet doth he never forsake 
 his people. 
 
 17 But let this that we have spoken be for a warning unto 
 us. And now will we come to the declaring of the matter in few 
 words. 
 
 18 Eleazar, one of the principal scribes, an aged man, and of 
 a well-favoured countenance, was constrained to open his mouth, 
 and to eat swine's flesh. 
 
 19 But he, choosing rather to die gloriously, than to live 
 stained with such an abomination, spit it forth, and came of his 
 own accord to the torment, 
 
 20 As it behoved them to come, that are resolute to stand out 
 against such things as are not lawful for love of life to be tasted. 
 
 21 But they that had the charge of that wicked feast, for tho 
 old acquaintance they had with the man, taking him aside, be- 
 sought him to bring flesh of his own provision, such as was lawful 
 for him to use, and make as if he did eat o/ the flesh taken from 
 the sacrifice commanded by the king; 
 
 22 That in so doing he might be delivered from death, and 
 for the old friendship with them find favour. 
 
 23 But he began to consider discreetly, as became his age, and 
 the excellency of his ancient years, and the honour of his gray 
 head, whereunto he was come, and his most honest education from 
 a child, or rather the holy law made and given by God : there- 
 fore he answered accordingly, and willed them straightways t< 
 send him to the grave. 
 
 24 For it becometh not our age, said he, in any wise to dis- 
 semble, whereby many young persons might think that Eleazar, 
 being fourscore years old and ten, were now gone to a strange, 
 religion ; 
 
 25 And so they through mine hypocrisy, and desire to live a 
 little time and a moment longer, should be deceived by me, and 
 I get a stain to mine old age, and make it abominable. 
 
 26 For though for the present time I should be delivered from 
 the punishment of men : yet should I not escape the hand of 
 the Almighty, neither alive nor dead. 
 
 Wherefore now, manfully changing this 
 
 life, I will show 
 
 myself such an one as mine age requireth, 
 
 28 And leave a notable example to such as be young, to di< 
 willingly and courageously for the honourable and holy lawa 
 
ipoorypaa

 And when he had said these words, immediately he went to the 
 torment: 
 
 29 They that led him changing the good will they bear him 
 a little before into hatred, because the aforesaid speeches pro- 
 ceeded, as they thought, from a desperate mind. 
 
 30 But when he was rea4y to die with stripes, he groaned, 
 and said, It is manifest unto the Lord, that hath the holy know- 
 ledge, that whereas I might have been delivered from death, I 
 now endure sore pains in body by being beaten : but in soul 
 am well content to suffer these things, because I fear him. 
 
 31 And thus this man died, leaving his death for an example 
 of a noble courage, and a memorial of virtue, not only unto 
 y jung men, but unto all his nation. 
 
 CHAPTER VII. 
 
 The constancy and cruel death of seven brethren and their mother in 
 one day, because they wuld not eat swine's flesh at the king's com- 
 mandment. 
 
 1 
 
 T came to pass also, that seven brethren with their mother 
 were taken, aud compelled by the king against the law to 
 taste swine's flesh, and were tormented with scourges and whips. 
 
 2 .But one of them that spake first said thus, What wouldest 
 thou ask or learn of us? we are ready to die, rather than to 
 transgress the laws of our fathers. 
 
 3 Then the king, being in a rage, commanded pans and cal- 
 drons to be made hot : 
 
 4 Which forthwith being heated, he commanded to cut out 
 the tongue of him that spake first, and to cut off the utmost 
 parts of his body, the rest of his brethren and his mother look- 
 ing on. 
 
 5 Now when he was thus maimed in all his members, he com- 
 manded him being yet alive to be brought to the fire, and to be 
 fried in the pan : and as the vapour of the pan was for a good 
 space dispersed, they exhorted one another with the mother to 
 die manfully, saying thu3, 
 
 6 The Lord God looketh upon us, and in truth hath comfort 
 in us, as Moses in his song, which witnessed to their faces, de- 
 clared, saying, And he shall be comforted in his servants. 
 
 7 So when the first was dead after this manner, they brought 
 the second to make him a mocking-stock : and when they had 
 pulled off the skin of his head with the hair, they asked him, 
 Wilt thou eat, before thou be punished throughout every mem- 
 ber of thy body ? 
 
 8 But he answered in his own language, and said, No. 
 Wherefore he also received the next torment in order, as the 
 former did. 
 
 9 Aud when he was at the last gasp, he said, Thou like a fury 
 takest us out of this present life, but the king of the world shall 
 raise us up, who have died for his laws, unto everlasting life. 
 
 10 After him was the third made a mocking-stock : and when 
 he was required, he put out his tongue, and that right soon, 
 holding forth his hands manfully, 
 
 11 And said courageously, These I had from heaven ; and for 
 his laws I despise them; and from him I hope to receive them 
 again. 
 
 12 Insomuch that the king, and they that were with him, 
 marvelled at the young man's courage, for that he nothing re- 
 garded the pains. 
 
 13 Now when this man was dead also, they tormented and 
 mangled the fourth in like manner. 
 
 1-1 So when he was ready to die, he said thus, It is good, 
 being put to death by men, to look for hope from God to be 
 raised up again by him : as for thee, thou shalt have no resur- 
 rection to life. 
 
 15 Afterward they brought the fifth also, and mangled him. 
 
 16 Then looked he unto the king, and said, Thou hast power 
 over men, thou art corruptible, thou doest what thou wilt ; yet 
 think not that our nation is forsaken of God ; 
 
 1 7 But abide awhile, and behold his great power, how he will 
 torment thee and thy seed. 
 
 18 After him also they brought the sixth, who, being ready 
 to die, said, Be not deceived without cause : for we suffer these 
 things for ourselves, having sinned against our God : therefore 
 marvellous things are done unlo us. 
 
 19 But think not thou, that takest in hand to strive agaius' 
 God, that thou shalt escape unpunished. 
 
 20 But the mother was marvellous above all, and worthy of 
 honourable memory : for when she saw her seven sons slain 
 within the space of one day, she bare it with a good courage, 
 because of the hope that she had in the Lord. 
 
 21 Yea, she exhorted every one of them in her own language. 
 tilled with courageous spirits; and stirring up her womanish 
 thoughts with a manly stomach, she said unto them, 
 
 22 I cannot tell how ye came into my womb; for I neither 
 gave you breath nor life, neither was it I that formed the mem- 
 bers of every one of you; 
 
 23 But doubtless the Creator of the world, who formed the 
 generation of man, and found out the beginning of all things, 
 will also of his own mercy give you breath and life again, as ye 
 now regard not your ownselves for his laws' sake. 
 
 24 Now Antiochus, thinking himself despised, and suspecting 
 it to be a reproachful speech, whilst the youngest was yet alive, 
 did not only exhort him by words, but also assured him with 
 oaths, that he would make him both a rich and a happy man, if 
 he would turn from the laws of his fathers ; and that also 
 would take him for his friend, and trust him with affairs. 
 
 25 But when the young man would in no case hearken uni 
 him, the king called his mother, and exhorted her that she would 
 counsel the young man to save his life. 
 
 26 And when he had exhorted her with many words, she 
 promised him that she would counsel her son. 
 
 27 But she, bowing herself towards him, laughing' the cruel 
 tyrant to scorn, spake in her country language on this manner; 
 O my son, have pity upon me that bare thee nine months in mj 
 womb, and gave thee suck three years, and nourished thee, and 
 brought thee up unto this age, and endured the troubles of edu 
 cation. 
 
 28 I beseech thee, my son, look upon the heaven and the 
 earth, and all that is therein, and consider that God made them 
 of things that were not; and so was mankind made likewise. 
 
 29 Fear not this tormentor, but, being worthy of thy breth- 
 ren, take thy death, that I may receive thee again in mercy with 
 thy brethren. 
 
 30 While she was yet speaking these words, the young man 
 said, Whom wait ye for? I will not obey the king's command- 
 ment: but I will obey the commandment of the law that was 
 given unto our fathers by Moses. 
 
 31 And thou, that hast been the author of all mischief 
 against the Hebrews, shalt not escape the hands of God. 
 
 32 For we suffer because of our sins. 
 
 33 Aud though the living Lord be angry with us a little while 
 for our chastening and correction, yet shall he be at one again 
 with ms servants. 
 
 34 But thou, godless man, and of all other most wicked, 
 he not lifted up without a cause, nor puffed up with uncertain 
 hopes, lifting up thy hand against the servants of God : 
 
 35 For thou hast not yet, escaped the judgment of Almighty 
 God, who seeth all things. 
 
 36 For our brethren, who have now suffered a short pain, aio 
 dead under God's covenant of everlasting life : but thou, through 
 the judgment of God, shalt receive just punishment for thy 
 pride. • 
 
 37 But I, as my brethren, offer up my body and life for the 
 laws of our fathers, beseeching God that he would speedily be 
 merciful unto our nation; and that thou by torments aud plagues 
 mayest confess, that he alone is God : 
 
 38 And that in me and my brethren the wrath of the Al- 
 mighty, which is justly brought upon all our nation, may 
 cease. 
 
 39 Then the king, being in a rage, handled him worse thar 
 all the rest, and took it grievously that he was mocked.

 CHAPTER VIII. 
 
 Judas gathered a host. 9 Nicanor is sent against him ; who pre- 
 suraeth to make much money of his prisoners. 10 Judas encou- 
 rageth his men, and putteth Nicanor to flight, 28 and divideth the 
 spoils. 30 Other enemies are also defeated, 35 and Nicanor fleeth 
 with grief to Antioch. 
 
 rjMIEN Judas Maccabeus, and they that were with him, went 
 1 privily into the towns, and called their kinsfolk together, and 
 took unto them all such as continued in the Jews' religion, and 
 assembled about six thousand men. 
 
 2 And they called upon the Lord, that he would look upon 
 the people that was trodden down of all; and also pity the tem- 
 ple profaned of ungodly men ; 
 
 3 And that he wculd have compassion upon the city sore de- 
 faced, and ready to be made even with the ground; and hear the 
 blood that cried unto him, 
 
 4 And remember the wicked slaughter of harmless infants, 
 and the blasphemies committed against his name; and that he 
 would show his hatred against the wicked. 
 
 5 Now when Maccabeus had his company about him, he could 
 not be withstood by the heathen : for the wrath of the Lord was 
 turned into mercy. 
 
 6 Therefore he came at unawares, and burned up towns and 
 cities, and got into his hands the most commodious places, and 
 overcame and put to flight no small number of his enemies. 
 
 7 But especially took he advantage of the night for such privy 
 attempts, insomuch that the bruit of his manliness was spread 
 every where. 
 
 8 So when Philip saw that this man increased by little and 
 little, and that things prospered with him still more and more, 
 he wrote unto Ptolemeus, the governor of Celosyria and Phenice, 
 to yield more aid to the king's affairs. 
 
 9 Then forthwith choosing Nicanor the son of Patroclus, one 
 of his special friends, he sent him with no fewer than twenty 
 thousand of all nations under him, to root out the whole genera- 
 tion of the Jews; and with him he joined also Gorgias a captain, 
 who in matters of war had great experience. 
 
 10 So Nicanor undertook to make so much money of the cap- 
 tive Jews, as should defray the tribute of two thousand talents, 
 which the king was to pay to the Romans. 
 
 11 Wherefore immediately he sent to the cities upon the sea- 
 coast, proclaiming a sale of the captive Jews, and promising that 
 they should have fourscore and ten bodies for one talent; not 
 expecting the vengeance that was to follow upon him from the 
 Almighty God. 
 
 12 Now when word was brought unto Judas of Nicanor's 
 coming, and he had imparted unto those that were with him that 
 'he army was at hand, 
 
 13 They that were fearful, and distrusted the justice of God, 
 fled, and conveyed themselves away. 
 
 14 Others sold all that they had left, and withal besought the 
 Lord to deliver them, being sold by the wicked Nicanor before 
 they met together : 
 
 15 And if not for their own sakes, yet for the covenants he 
 had made with their fathers, and for his holy and glorious name's 
 3ake, by which they were called. 
 
 16 So Maccabeus called his men together, unto the number 
 of six thousand, and exhorted them not to be stricken with terror 
 of the enemy, nor to fear the great multitude of the heathen, 
 ffho came wrongfully against them ; but to fight manfully. 
 
 17 And to set before their eyes the injury that they had un- 
 justly done to the holy place, and the cruel handling of the city, 
 whereof they made a mockery, and also the taking away of the 
 government of their forefathers : 
 
 110 
 
 18 For they, said he, trust in their weapons and boldness; 
 but our confidence is in the Almighty God, who at a beck can 
 cast down both them that come against us, and also all the world. 
 
 19 Moreover, he recounted unto them what helps their fore- 
 fathers had found, and how they were delivered, when under 
 Sennacherib an hundred fourscore and five thousand perished. 
 
 20 And he told them of the battle that they had in Babylon 
 with the Galatians, how they came but eight thousand in all to 
 the business, with four thousand Macedonians, and that the Mace- 
 donians being perplexed, the eight thousand destroyed an hun- 
 dred and twenty thousand, because of the help that they had 
 from heaven, and so received a great booty. 
 
 21 Thus when he had made them bold with these words and 
 ready to die for the laws and the country, he divided his army 
 into four parts ; 
 
 22 And joined with himself his own brethren, leaders of each 
 band, to wit, Simon, and Joseph, and Jonathan, giving each one 
 fifteen hundred men. 
 
 23 Also he appointed Eleazar to read the holy book : and 
 when he had given them this watchword, The help of God: him- 
 self leading the first band, he joined battle with Nicanor. 
 
 24 And by the help of the Almighty they slew above nine 
 thousand of their enemies, and wounded and maimed the most 
 part of Nicanor's host, and so put all to flight; 
 
 25 And took their money that came to buy them, and pursued 
 them far : but lacking time they returned : 
 
 26 For it was the day before the sabbath, and therefore they 
 would no longer pursue them. 
 
 27 So when they had gathered their armour together, and 
 spoiled their enemies, they occupied themselves about the sabbath, 
 yielding exceeding praise and thanks to the Lord, who had pre- 
 served them unto that day, which was the beginning of mercy 
 distilling upon them. 
 
 28 And after the sabbath, when they had given part of tin 
 spoils to the maimed, and the widows, and orphans, the residuo 
 they divided among themselves and their servants. 
 
 29 When this was done, and they had made a common sup- . 
 plication, they besought the merciful Lord to be reconciled with 
 his servants for ever. 
 
 30 Moreover, of those that were with Timotheus and Bacchi- 
 des, who fought against them, they slew above twenty thousand, 
 and very easily got high and strong holds, and divided among 
 themselves many spoils more, and made the maimed, orphans, 
 widows, yea, and the aged also, equal in spoils with themselves. 
 
 31 And when they had gathered their armour together, they 
 laid them up all carefully in convenient places, and the remnant 
 of the spoils they brought to Jerusalem. 
 
 32 They slew also Philarches, that wicked person, who was 
 with Timotheus, and had annoyed the Jews many ways. 
 
 33 Furthermore, at such time as they kept the feast for the 
 victory in their country, they burnt Calisthenes, that had set fire 
 upon the holy gates, who had fled into a little house ; and so he 
 received a reward meet for his wickedness. 
 
 34 As for that most ungracious Nicanor, who had brought a 
 thousand merchants to buy the Jews, 
 
 35 He was, through the help of the Lord, brought djwn by 
 • them of whom he made least account; and putting off his glo- 
 rious apparel, and discharging his company, be came like a fugi- 
 tive servant through the midland unto Antioch, having very great 
 dishonour, for that his host was destroyed. 
 
 36 Thus he, that took upon him to make good to the Roman t 
 their tribute by means of the captives in Jerusalem, told abroad, 
 that the Jews had God to fight for them, and therefore thf y 
 could not be hurt, because they followed the laws that he gave 
 them. 
 
 CHAPTER IX. 
 
 2 Antiochus is chased from Fersepolis:- 5 He is stricken with a sore 
 disease, 14 and promiseth to become a Jew : 28 He dieth miserably 
 
 ABOUT that time came Antiochus with dishonour out of the 
 country of Persia.

 CHAP. X. 
 
 Apocrypha, 
 
 2 For he had entered the city called Persepolis, and went 
 about 10 rob the temple, and to hold the city; whereupon the 
 multitude, running to defend themselves with their weapons, put 
 them to flight; and so it happened, that Antioehus, being put to 
 flight of the inhabitants, returned with shame. 
 
 3 Now when he came to Ecbatane, news was brought him 
 what had happened unto Nicanor and Timotheus. 
 
 4 Then swelling with anger, he thought to avenge upon the 
 Jews the disgrace done unto him by those that made him flee. 
 Therefore commanded he his chariot-man to drive without ceas- 
 ing, and to despatch the journey, the judgment of God now fol- 
 lowing him. For he had spoken proudly in this sort, That he 
 would come to Jerusalem, and make it a common burying-place 
 of the Jews. 
 
 5 But t-he Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, smote him with 
 an incurable and invisible plague : for as soon as he had spoken 
 these words, a pain of the bowels that was remediless came upon 
 him, and sore torments of the inner parts; 
 
 G And that most justly: for he had tormented other men's 
 bowels with many and strange torments. 
 
 7 Howbeit, he nothing at all ceased from his bragging, but still 
 was filled with pride, breathing out fire in his rage against the 
 Jews, and commanding to haste the journey : but it came to pass 
 that he fell down from his chariot, carried violently; so that 
 having a sore fall, all the members of his body were much 
 pained. 
 
 8 And thus he that a little afore thought he might command 
 the waves of the sea, (so proud was he beyond the condition of 
 man) and weigh the high mountains in a balance, was now cast 
 on the ground, and carried in a horse-litter, showing forth unto 
 all the manifest power of God. 
 
 9 So that the worms rose up out of the body of this wicked 
 man, and while he lived in sorrow and pain, his flesh fell away, 
 and the filthiness of his smell was noisome to all his army. 
 
 10 And the man, that thought a little afore he could reach 
 to the stars of heaven, no man could endure to carry for his in- 
 tolerable stink. 
 
 11 Here therefore being plagued, he began to leave off his 
 great pride, and to come to the knowledge of himself, by the 
 scourge of God, his pain increasing every moment. 
 
 12 And when he himself could not abide his own smell, he 
 6aid these words, It is meet to be subject unto God, and that a 
 man that is mortal should not proudly think of himself, as if he 
 were God. 
 
 13 This wicked person vowed also unto the Lord (who now no 
 more would have mercy upon him) saying thus, 
 
 14 That the holy city (to the which he was going in haste to 
 lay it even with the ground, and to make it a common burying- 
 place,) he would set at liberty : 
 
 15 And as touching the Jews, whom he had judged not wor- 
 thy to be so much as buried, but to be cast out with their chil- 
 dren to be devoured of the fowls and wild beasts, he would make 
 them all equals with the citizens of Athens : 
 
 16 And the holy temple, which before he had spoiled, he would 
 garnish with goodly gifts, and restore all the holy vessels with 
 many more, and out of his own revenue defray the charges be- 
 longing to the sacrifices : 
 
 17 Yea, and that also he would become a Jew himself, and 
 go through all the world that was inhabited, and declare the 
 power of God. 
 
 18 But for all this his pains would not cease : for the just 
 judgment of God was come upon him : therefore despairing of 
 his health, he wrote unto the Jews the letters underwritten, con- 
 taining the form of a supplication, after this manner : 
 
 19 Antioehus, king and governor, to the good Jews his citi- 
 zens, wisheth much joy, health, and prosperity: 
 
 20 If ye and your children fare well, and your affairs be to 
 your contentment, I give very great thanks to God, having ray 
 hope in heaven. 
 
 21 As for me, I was weak, or else I would have remembered 
 kiudly your honour and good will. Returning out of Persia, 
 
 and being taken with a grievous disease, I thought it necessary 
 to care for the common safety of all : 
 
 22 Not distrusting mine health, but having great hope to et» 
 cape this sickness. 
 
 23 But considering that even my father, at what time he led 
 an army into the high countries, appointed a successor, 
 
 24 To the end that, if any thing fell out contrary to expecta- 
 tion, or if any tidings were brought that were grievous, they of 
 the land, knowing to whom the state was left, might noc be trou- 
 bled : 
 
 25 Again, considering how that the princes, that are borderers 
 and neighbours unto my kingdom wait for opportunities, and ex- 
 pect what shall be the event, I have appointed my son Antioehus 
 king, whom I often committed and commended unto many of 
 you, when I went up into the high provinces; to whom I have 
 written as followeth : 
 
 26 Therefore I pray and request you to remember the benefit? 
 that I have done unto you generally, and in special, and that 
 every man will be still faithful to me and my son. 
 
 27 For I am persuaded that he, understanding my mind, will 
 favourably and graciously yield to your desires. 
 
 28 Thus the murdererer and blasphemer having suffered most 
 grievously, as he entreated other men, so died he a miserable 
 death in a strange country in the mountains. 
 
 29 And Philip, that was brought up with him, carried away 
 his body, who also, fearing the sou of Antioehus, went into Fgypt 
 to Ptolemeus Philometer. 
 
 CHAPTER X. 
 
 1 Judas recovereth the city, and purifietli the temple. 14 Gorgiae 
 vexeth the Jews. 16 Judas winneth their holds. 29 Timotheus 
 and his men are discomfited. 35 Gaziira is taken, and Timotheue 
 slain. 
 
 NOW Maccabeus and his- company, the Lord guiding them, 
 recovered the temple and the city : 
 
 2 But the altars which the heatheu had built in the open 
 street, and also the chapels, they pulled down. 
 
 3 And having cleansed the temple, they made another altar, 
 and striking stones they took fire out of them, and offered a sacri- 
 fice after two years, and set forth incense, and lights, and show- 
 bread. 
 
 4 When that was done, they fell flat down, and besought the 
 Lord that they might come no more into such troubles ; but if 
 they sinned any more against him, that he himself would chas- 
 ten them with mercy, and that they might not be delivered untc 
 the blasphemous and barbarous nations. 
 
 5 Now upon the same day that the strangers profaned the 
 temple, on the very same day it was cleansed again, even the five 
 and twentieth day of the same month, which is Casleu. 
 
 6 And they kept eight days with gladness, as in the feast of 
 the tabernacles, remembering that not long afore they had held 
 the feast of the tabernacles, when as they wandered in the moun- 
 tains and dens like beasts. 
 
 7 Therefore they bare branches, and fair boughs, and palms 
 also, and sang psalms unto him that had given them good suc- 
 cess in cleansing his place. 
 
 8 They ordained also by a common statute and decree, That 
 every year those days should be kept of the whole nation of the 
 Jews. 
 
 9 And this was the end of Antioehus, called Epiphanes. 
 
 10 Now will we declare the acts of Antioehus Eupator, who 
 was the sou of this wicked man, gathering briefly the calamities 
 of the wars. 
 
 11 So when he was come to the crown, he set one Lysias over 
 the affairs of his realm, and appointed him chief governor of 
 Celosyria and Phenice. 
 
 12 For Ptolemeus, that was called Macron, choosing rather 
 to do justice unto the Jews for the wrong that had been done 
 unto them, endeavoured to continue peace with them. 
 
 13 Whereupon being accused of the king's friends before

 Eupator, and called traitor at every word, because he had left 
 Cyprus, that Philometcr had committed unto him, and departed 
 unto Antiochus Epiphanes, and seeing that he was in no honour- 
 able place, he was so discouraged, that he poisoned himself and 
 died. 
 
 14 But when Gorgias was governor of the holds, he hired 
 soldiers, and nourished war continually with the Jews. 
 
 15 And therewithal the Idutneans, having gotten into their 
 hands the most commodious holds, kept the Jews occupied, and 
 receiving those that were banished from Jerusalem, they went 
 about to nourish war. 
 
 16 Then they that were with Maccabeus made supplication, 
 and besought God that he would be their helper; and so they 
 ran with violence upon the strong holds of the Idumeans, 
 
 17 And assaulting them strongly, they won the holds, and 
 kept off all that fought upon the wall, and slew all that fell into 
 their hands, and killed no fewer than twenty thousand. 
 
 18 And because certain, who were no less than nine thousand, 
 were fled together into two very strong castles, having all manner 
 of things convenient to sustain the siege, 
 
 19 Maccabeus left Simon and Joseph, and Zaccheus also, and 
 them that were with him, who were enough to besiege them, 
 and departed himself unto, those places which more needed his 
 help 
 
 20 Now they that were with Simon, being led with covetous- 
 cess, were persuaded for money through certain of those that 
 were in the castle, and took seventy thousand drachms, and let 
 some of them escape. 
 
 21 But when it was told Maccabeus what was done, he called 
 the governors of the people together, and accused those men that 
 they had sold their brethren for money, and set their enemies 
 free to fight against them. 
 
 22 So he slew those that were found traitors, and immediately 
 took the two castles. 
 
 23 And having good success with his weapons in all things 
 he took in hand, he slew in the two holds more than twenty thou- 
 sand. 
 
 24 Now Timotheus, whom the Jews had overcome before, 
 when he had gathered a great multitude of foreign forces, and 
 horses out of Asia not a few, came as though he would take 
 Jewry by force of arms. 
 
 25 But when he drew near, they that were with Maccabeus 
 turned themselves to pray unto God, and sprinkled earth upon 
 their heads, and girded their loins with sackcloth, 
 
 26 And fell down at the foot of the altar, and besought him 
 co b 3 merciful to them, and to be an enemy to their enemies, and 
 an adversary to their adversaries, as the law declareth. 
 
 2 1 So after the prayer, they took their weapons, and went on 
 further from the city : and when they drew near to their enemies, 
 they kept by themselves. 
 
 28 Now the sun being newly risen, they joined both together; 
 the one part having, together with their virtue, their refuge also 
 unto the Lord for a pledge of their success and victory : the 
 other side making their rage leader of their battle. 
 
 29 But when the battle waxed strong, there appeared unto the 
 enemies from heaven five comely men upon horses, with bridles 
 of gold, and two of them led the Jews, 
 
 30 And took Maccabeus betwixt them, and covered him on 
 every side with their weapons, and kept him safe, but shot arrows 
 and lightnings against the enemies : so that being confounded 
 with blindness, and full of trouble, they were killed. 
 
 31 And there were slain of footmen twenty thousand and five 
 hundred, and six hundred horsemen. 
 
 32 As for Timotheus himself, he tied into a very strong hold, 
 called Gazara, where Choreas was governor. 
 
 33 But they that were with Maccabeus laid siege against the 
 fortress courageously four days. 
 
 34 And they that were within, trusting in the strength of the 
 place, blasphemed exceedingly, and uttered wicked words. 
 
 35 Nevertheless, upon the fifth day early, twenty young men 
 i Maccabeus's company, inflamed with anger because of the 
 
 112 
 
 blasphemies, assaulted the wall manly, and with a fierce courage 
 killed all that they met withal. 
 
 36 Others likewise ascending after them, while they were 
 busied with them that were within, burned the towers, and kin- 
 dling fires, burned the blasphemers alive ; and others broke open 
 the gates, and having received in the rest of the army, and took 
 the city, 
 
 37 And killed Timotheus, that was hid in a certain pit, and 
 Chereas his brother, with Apollophanes. 
 
 38 When this was done, they praised the Lord with psalm9 
 and thanksgiving, who had done so great things for Israel, and 
 given them the victory. 
 
 CHAPTER XL 
 
 2 Lysias, thinking to get Jerusalem, 8 is put to flight. 16 The letters 
 of Lysias to the Jews: 22 of the king unto Lysias, 27 and to the 
 Jews : 34 of the Romans to the Jews. 
 
 NOT long after this, Lysias the king's protector and cousin, 
 who also managed the affairs, took sore displeasure for the 
 things that were done. 
 
 2 And when he had gathered about fourscore thousand, with 
 all the horsemen, he came against the Jews, thinking to make 
 the city an habitation of the Gentiles, 
 
 3 And to make a gain of the temple, as of the other chapels 
 of the heathen, and to set the high priesthood to sale every year : 
 
 4 Not at all considering the power of God, but puffed up with 
 his ten thousands of footnien, and his thousands of horsemen, 
 and his fourscore elephants. 
 
 5 So he came to Judea, and drew near to Bethsura, which 
 was a strong town, but distant from Jerusalem about five fur- 
 longs ; and he laid sore siege unto it. 
 
 6 Now when they that were with Maccabeus heard that h« 
 besieged the holds, they and all the people with lamentation and 
 tears besought the Lord that he would send a good angel to de- 
 liver Israel. 
 
 7 Then Maccabeus himself first of all took weapons, exhort 
 ing the other that they would jeopard themselves together with 
 him to help their brethren : so they went forth together with a 
 willing mind. 
 
 8 And as they were at Jerusalem, there appeared before them 
 on horseback one in white clothing, shaking his armour of geld 
 
 9 Then they praised the merciful God all together, and took 
 heart, insomuch that they were ready not only to fight with men, 
 but with most cruel beasts, and to pierce through walls of iron. 
 
 10 Thus they marched forward in their armour, having an 
 helper from heaven : for the Lord was merciful unto them. 
 
 11 And giving a charge upon their enemies like lions, thej 
 slew eleven thousand footmen, and sixteen hundred horsemen, 
 and put all the other to flight. 
 
 12 Many of them also being wounded, escaped naked ; and 
 Lysias himself fled away shamefully, and so escaped. 
 
 13 Who, as he was a man of understanding, casting with 
 himself what loss he had had, and considering that the Hebrews 
 could not be overcome, because the Almighty God helped them, 
 he sent unto them, 
 
 14 And persuaded them to agree to all reasonable conditions, 
 and promised that he would persuade the king that he must needs 
 be a friend unto them. 
 
 15 Then Maccabeus consented to all that Lysias desired, beiug 
 careful of the common good ; and whatsoever Maccabeus wrote 
 unto Lysias concerning the Jews, the king granted it. 
 
 16 For there were letters written unto the Jews from Lysias 
 to this effect : Lysias unto the people of the Jews sendeth greet- 
 ing : 
 
 17 John and Absalom, who were sent from you, delivered ma 
 the petition subscribed, and made request for the performance of 
 the contents thereof. 
 
 18 Therefore what things soever were meet to be reported to 
 the king, I have declared them, and he hath granted as much as 
 might be.

 10 If then yo will keep yourselves loyal to the state, hereafter 
 also will I endeavour to be a means of your good. 
 
 '20 But of the particulars I have given order both to these, 
 and the others that came from me, to commune with you. 
 
 21 Fare ye well. The hundred and eight and fortieth year, 
 *he four and twentieth day of the month Dioscorinthius. 
 
 22 Now the king's letter contained these words: King Anti- 
 ?chus unto his brother Lysias sendeth greeting : 
 
 23 Since our father is translated unto the gods, our will is, 
 that they that are iu our realm live quietly, that every one may 
 uttend upon his own affairs. 
 
 2-1 We understand also that the Jews would not consent to 
 our father, for to be brought unto the custom of the Gentiles, 
 but had rather keep their own manner of living : for the which 
 cause they require of us, that we should suffer them to live after 
 their own laws. 
 
 25 Wherefore our mind is, that this nation shall be in rest, 
 and we have determined to restore them their temple, that they 
 may live according to the customs of their forefathers. 
 
 26 Thou shalt do well therefore to send unto them, and grant 
 them peace, that when they are certified of our mind, they may 
 be of good comfort, and ever go cheerfully about their own 
 affairs. 
 
 27 And the letter of the king unto the nation of the Jews 
 was after this manner : King Antiochus sendeth greeting unto 
 the council, and the rest of the Jews : 
 
 28 If ye fare well, we have our desire j we are also in good 
 health. 
 
 29 Menelaus declared unto us, that your desire was to return 
 home, and to follow your own business : 
 
 30 Wherefore they that will depart shall have safe conduct 
 till the thirtieth day of Xanthicus with security. 
 
 31 And the Jews shall use their own kind of meats and laws, 
 a? before ; and none of them any manner of ways shall be mo- 
 lested for things ignorantly done. 
 
 32 I have sent also Menelaus, that he may comfort you. 
 
 33 Fare ye well. In the hundred forty and eighth year, and 
 in the fifteenth day of the month Xanthicus. 
 
 34 The Romans also sent unto them a letter containing these 
 words : Quintus Memmius and Titus Manlius, ambassadors of 
 the Romans, send greeting unto the people of the Jews. 
 
 35 Whatsoever Lysias the king's cousin hath granted, there- 
 with we also are well pleased. 
 
 36 But touching such things as he judged to be referred to 
 the king, after ye have advised thereof, send one forthwith, that 
 we may declare as it is convenient for you : for we are now going 
 to Antioch. 
 
 37 Therefore send some withspeed, that we may know what 
 is your mind. 
 
 38 Farewell. This hundred and eight and fortieth year, the 
 fifteenth day of the month Xanthicus. 
 
 CHAPTER XII. 
 
 I The king's lieutenants vex the Jews: 3 They of Joppe drown two 
 hundred Jews. 6 Judas is avenged upon them: 11 He maketk 
 peace with the Arabians, 16 and taketh Caspis. 22 Timotheus' 
 armies overthrown. 
 
 WHEN these covenants were made, Lysias went unto the 
 king, and the Jews were about their husbandry. 
 
 2 But of the governors of several places, Timotheus, and 
 Apollonius the son of Genneus, also Hieronymus, and Demo- 
 phon, and besides them Nicanor the governor of Cyprus, would 
 not suffer them to be quiet, and live in peace. 
 
 3 The men of Joppe also did such an ungodly deed : they 
 prayed the Jews that dwelt among them to go with their wives 
 and children into the boats which they had prepared, as though 
 they had meant them no hurt. 
 
 4 Who accepted of it according to the common decree of the 
 oitv, as being desirous to live in peace, and suspecting nothing : 
 
 8 i J 
 
 but when they were gone forth into the deep, they drowned nt 
 less than two hundred of them 
 
 5 When Judas heard of this cruelty done unto his country- 
 men, he commauded those that were with him to make then 
 ready. 
 
 6 And calling upon God the righteous Judge, he came against 
 those murderers of his brethren, and burned the haven by night, 
 and set the boats on lire, and those that fled thither he Blew. 
 
 7 And when the town was shut up, he went backward, as if 
 he would return to root out all them of the city of Joppe. 
 
 8 But when he heard that the Jamnites were minded to dfl 
 iu like manner unto the Jews that dwelt among them, 
 
 9 He came upon the Jamnites also by night, and set fire on 
 the haven and the navy, so that 'the light of the fire was seen 
 at Jerusalem two hundred and forty furlongs off. 
 
 10 Now when they were gone from thence nine furlongs in 
 their journey towards Timotheus, no fewer than five thousand 
 men on foot and five hundred horsemen of the Arabians set upon 
 him. 
 
 11 Whereupon there was a very sore battle; but Juda's side, 
 by the help of God, gat the victory ; so that the Nomades of 
 Arabia, being overcome, besought Judas for peace, promising 
 both to give him cattle, and to pleasure him otherwise. 
 
 12 Then Judas, thinking indeed that they would be profitable 
 in many things, granted them peace ; whereupon they shook 
 hands, and so they departed to their tents. 
 
 13 He went also about to make a bridge to a certain strong 
 city, which was fenced about with walls, and inhabited by people 
 of diverse countries; and the name of it was Caspis. 
 
 14 But they that were within it put such trust in the strength 
 of the walls and provisions of victuals, that they behaved them- 
 selves rudely towards them that were with Judas, railing and 
 blaspheming, and uttering such words as were not to be spoken 
 
 15 Wherefore Judas with his company, calling upon the great 
 Lord of the world, who without any rains or engines of war did 
 cast down Jericho in the time of Joshua, gave a fierce assault 
 against the walls, 
 
 16 And took the city by the will of God, and made unspeak- 
 able slaughters, insomuch that a lake two furlongs broad near 
 adjoining thereunto, being filled full, was 6een running with 
 blood. 
 
 17 Then departed they from thence seven hundred and fifty 
 furlongs, and came to Characa unto the Jews that are called Tu- 
 bieni. 
 
 18 But as for Timotheus, they found him not in the places : 
 for before he had despatched any thing, he departed from thence, 
 having left a very strong garrison in a certain hold. 
 
 19 Howbeit, Dositheus and Sosipater, who were of Macca- 
 beus' captains, went forth, and slew those that Timotheus had left 
 in the fortress, above ten thousand meu. 
 
 20 And Maccabeus ranged his army by bands, and set them 
 over the bands, and went against Timotheus, who had about him 
 a hundred and twenty thousand meu of foot, and two thousand 
 and five hundred horsemen. 
 
 21 Now when Timotheus had knowledge of Judas' coming, 
 he seut the women and children and the other baggage unto a 
 fortress called Carnion : for the town was hard to besiege, and 
 uneasy to come unto, by reason of the straitness of all the plac<s. 
 
 22 But when Judas his first band came in sight, the enemies, 
 being smitten with fear and terror through the appearing of him 
 that seeth all things, fled amain, one running this way, another 
 that way, so as that they were often hurt of their own men, and 
 wounded with the points of their own swords. 
 
 23 Judas also was very earnest in pursuing them, killing 
 those wicked wretches, of whom he slew about thirty thousand 
 men. 
 
 24 Moreover Timotheus himself fell into the hands of i)osi- 
 theus and Sosipater, whom he besought with much craft to let 
 him go with his life, because he had many of the Jews' parents, 
 and the brethren of some of them, who, if they put him to deaio, 
 should not be regarded. 
 
 * 113 
 
Apocrypha. 
 
 II. MACCABEES. 
 
 Apocrypha. 
 
 25 So when he had assured thom with many words that he 
 would restore them without hurt, according to the agreement, 
 they let him go for the saving of their brethren. 
 
 26 Then Maccabeus marched forth to Camion, and to the 
 temple of Atargatis, and there he slew five and twenty thousand 
 persons. 
 
 27 And after he had put to flight and destroyed them, Judas 
 removed the host towards Ephron, a strong city, wherein Lysias 
 abode, and a great multitude of divers nations, and the strong 
 young men kept the walls, and defended them mightily : wherein 
 also was great provision of engines and darts. 
 
 28 But when Judas and his company had called upon Almighty 
 God, who with his power breaketh the strength of his enemies, 
 they won the city, and slew twenty and five thousand of them 
 that were within. 
 
 29 From theuee they departed to Scythopolis, which lieth six 
 hundred furlongs from Jerusalem. 
 
 30 But when the Jews that dwelt there had testified that the 
 Scythopolitans dealt lovingly with them, and entreated them 
 kindly in the name of their adversity: 
 
 31 They gave them thanks, desiring them to be friendly still 
 unto them : and so they came to Jerusalem, the feast of the weeks 
 approaching. 
 
 32 And after the feast called Pentecost, they went forth 
 against Gorgias the governor of Idumea, 
 
 33 Who came out with three thousand men of foot, and four 
 hundred horsemen. 
 
 34 And it happened, in their fighting together, a few of the 
 Jews were slain. 
 
 35 At which time, Dositheus, one of Bacenor's company, who 
 was on horseback, and a strong man, was still upon Gorgias, and 
 taking hold of his coat drew him by force ; and when he would 
 have taken that cursed man alive, a horseman of Thracia com- 
 ing upon him smote off his shoulder, so that Gorgias fled unto 
 Marisa. 
 
 36 Now when they that were with Gorgias had fought long, 
 and were weary, Judas called upon the Lord, that he would show 
 himself to be their helper and leader of the battle. 
 
 37 And with that he began in his own language, and sung 
 psalms with a loud voice, and rushing unawares upon Gorgias' 
 men, he put them to flight. 
 
 38 So Judas gathered his host, and came into the city Odol- 
 lam. And when the seventh day came, they purified them- 
 selves, as the custom was, and kept the sabbath in the same 
 place. 
 
 39 And upon the day following, as the use had been, Judas 
 and his company came to take up the bodies of them that were 
 slain, and to bury them with their kinsmen in their fathers' 
 graves. 
 
 40 Now under the coats of every one that was slain they 
 found things consecrated to the idols of the Jamnites, which is 
 forbidden the Jews by the law. Then every man saw that this 
 was the cause wherefore they were slain. 
 
 41 All men therefore praising the Lord, the righteous Judge, 
 who had opened the things that were hid, 
 
 42 Betook themselves unto prayer, and besought him that the 
 sin committed might wholly be put out of remembrance. Be- 
 sides, that noble Judas exhorted the people to keep themselves 
 from sin, forsomuch as they saw before their eyes the things that 
 came to pass for the sins of those that were slain. 
 
 43 And when he had made a gathering throughout the com- 
 pany to the sum of two thousand drachms of silver, he sent it 
 to Jerusalem to offer a sin-offering, doing therein very well and 
 honestly, in that he was mindful of the resurrection : 
 
 44 For if he had not hoped that they that were slain should 
 have risen again, it had been superfluous and vain to pray for the 
 dead. 
 
 45 And also in that he perceived that there was great favour 
 laid up for those that died godly. (It was an holy and good 
 thought.) Whereupon he made a reconciliation for the dead, 
 that they might be delivered from sin.

 CHAPTER XIIL 
 
 1 Eupator invadcth Judea. 15 Judas by night Blayeth mnny. 18 
 Euputor's purpose is defeated: 23 lie maketh peace with Judas. 
 
 IN the hundred forty and ninth year it was told Judas, that 
 Antiochus Eupator was coming with a great power into Judca. 
 
 2 And with him Lysias his protector, and ruler of his affairs, 
 having either of them a Grecian power, of footmen a hundred 
 and ten thousand, and horsemen five thousand and three hundred, 
 and elephants two and twenty, and three hundred chariots armed 
 with hooks. 
 
 3 Menelaus also joined himself with them, and with great 
 dissimulation encouraged Antiochus, not for the safeguard of tho 
 country, but because he thought to have been made governor. 
 
 4 But the King of kings moved Antiochus' mind against this 
 wicked wretch, and Lysias informed the king that this man was 
 the cause of all mischief, so that the king commanded to bring 
 him unto Berea, and to put him to death, as the manner is in 
 that place. 
 
 5 Now there was in that place a tower of fifty cubits high, 
 full of ashes; and it had a round instrument, which on every 
 side hanged down into the ashes. 
 
 6 And whosoever was condemned of sacrilege, or had com- 
 mitted any other grievous crime, there did all men thrust him 
 unto death. 
 
 7 Such a death it happened that wicked man to die, not hav- 
 ing so much as burial in the earth; and that most justly. 
 
 8 For insomuch as he had committed many sins about the 
 altar, whose fire and ashes were holy, he received his death in 
 ashes. 
 
 9 Now the king came with a barbarous and haughty mind 
 to do far worse to the Jews, than had been done in his father's 
 time. 
 
 10 Which things when Judas perceived, he commanded the 
 multitude to call upon the Lord night and day, that_ if ever at 
 any other time, he would now also help them, being at the point 
 to be put from their law, from their country, and from the holy 
 temple : 
 
 11 And that he would not suffer the people, that had even 
 now been but a little refreshed, to be in subjection to the blas- 
 phemous nations. 
 
 12 So when they had all done this together, and besought the 
 merciful Lord with weeping and fasting, and lying flat upon the 
 ground three days long, Judas, having exhorted them, command- 
 ed they should be in readiness. 
 
 13 And Judas, being apart with the elders, determined, before 
 the king's host should enter into Judea, and get the city, to go 
 forth and try the mattei in fight by the help of the Lord. 
 
 14 So when he had committed all to the Creator of the world, 
 and exhorted his soldiers to fight manfully, even unto death, for 
 the laws, the temple, the city, the country, and the commonwealth, 
 he camped by Modin : 
 
 15 And having given the watchword to them that were about 
 him, Victory is of God ; with the most valiant and choice young 
 men, he went into the king's tent by night, and slew in the camp 
 about four thousand men, and the chiefest of the elephants, with 
 all that were upon him. 
 
 16 And at last they filled the camp with fear and tumult, and 
 departed with good success. 
 
 17 This was done in the break of the day, because the pro 
 tection of the Lord did help him. 
 
 18 Now when the king had taken a taste of the manliness of 
 the Jews, he went about tc take the holds by policy, 
 
 19 And marched towards Bethsura, which was a strong hold 
 of the Jews : but he was put to flight, failed, and lost of hi? 
 men : 
 
 20 For Judas had conveyed unto them that were in it such 
 things as were necessary. 
 
 21 But Rhodocus, who was in the Jews' host, disclosed the 
 secrets to the enemies ; therefore he was sought 
 they had gotten him, they put him in prison. 
 
 out, and when

 22 The king treated with them in Bethsura the second time, gave 
 bis hand, took theirs, departed, fought with Judas, was overcome ; 
 
 23 Heard that Philip, who was left over the affairs in Anti- 
 och, was desperately bent, confounded, entreated the Jews, sub- 
 mitted himself, and sware to all equal conditions, agreed with 
 them, and offered sacrifice, honoured the temple, and dealt kindly 
 with the place, 
 
 24 And accepted well of Maccabeus, made him principal go- 
 vernor from Ptolemais unto the Gerrhenians ; 
 
 25 Came to Ptolemais : the people there were grieved for the 
 covenants ; for they stormed because they would make their cove- 
 nants void : 
 
 26 Lysias went up to the judgment-seat, said as much as 
 could be in defence of the cause, persuaded, pacified, made them 
 well-aiTected, returned to Antioch. Thus it went touching the 
 king's coming and departing. 
 
 CHAPTER XIV. 
 6 Alcimus accuseth Judas. 18 Nicanor maketh peace with Judas : 39 
 He seekctb. to take Razis ; 46 who, to escape their hands, killeth 
 himself. 
 
 AFTER three years was Judas informed, that Demetrius, the 
 son of Seleucus, having entered by the haven of Tiipolis 
 with a great power and navy, 
 
 2 Had taken the country, and killed Antiochus, and Lysias 
 his protector. 
 
 3 Now one Alcimus, who had been high priest, and had de- 
 filed himself wilfully in the times of their mingling with the Gen- 
 tiles, seeing that by no means he could save himself, nor have any 
 more access to the holy altar, 
 
 4 Came to king Demetrius in the hundred and one and fiftieth 
 year, presenting unto him a crown of gold, and a palm, and also 
 of the boughs which were used solemnly in the temple : and so 
 that day he held his peace. 
 
 5 Howbeit, having gotten opportunity to further his foolish 
 enterprise, and being called into council by Demetrius, and asked 
 how the Jews stood affected, and what they intended, he answered 
 thereunto : 
 
 6 Those of the Jews that be called Asideans, whose captain 
 is Judas Maccabeus, nourish war, and are seditious, and will not 
 lot the realm be in peace. 
 
 7 Therefore I, being deprived of mine ancestors' honour, I 
 mean the high priesthood, am now come hither : 
 
 8 First, verily for the unfeigned care I have of things per- 
 taining to the king; and secondly, even for that I intend the 
 good of mine own countrymen : for all our nation is in no small 
 misery through the unadvised dealing of them aforesaid. 
 
 9 Wherefore, king, seeing thou knowest all these things, be 
 careful for the country, and our nation, which is pressed on every 
 side, according to the clemency which thou readily showest unto all. 
 
 10 For as long as Judas liveth, it is not possible that the state 
 should be quiet. 
 
 11 This was no sooner spoken of him, but others of the king's 
 friends, being maliciously set against Judas, did more incense 
 Demetrius. 
 
 12 And forthwith calling Nicanor, who had been master of the 
 elephants, and making him governor over Judea, he sent him forth, 
 
 13 Commanding him to slay Judas, and to scatter them that were 
 with him, and to make Alcimus high priest of the great temple. 
 
 14 Then the heathen that had fled out of Judea from Judas, 
 came to Nicanor by flocks, thinking the harm and calamities of 
 the Jews to be their welfare. 
 
 15 Now when the Jews heard of Nicanor's coming, and that 
 the heathen were up against them, they cast earth upon their 
 heads, and made supplication to him that had established his 
 people for ever, and who always helped his portion with manifes- 
 tation of his presence. 
 
 16 So at the commandment of the captain they removed straight- 
 ways from thence, and came near unto them at the town of Dessau. 
 
 17 Now Simon, Judas's brother, had joined battle with Nica- 
 nor, but was somewhat discomfited through the sudden silence 
 ■if his enemies. 
 
 H 
 
 18 Nevertheless, Nicanor, hearing of the manliness of them 
 that were with Judas, and the courageousuess that they had to 
 fight for their country, durst not try the matter by the sword. 
 
 19 Wherefore we sent Posidonius, and Theodotus, and Mat- 
 tathias, to make peace. 
 
 20 So when they had taken long advisement thereupon, and the 
 captain had made the multitude acquainted therewith, and itappear- 
 ed that they were all of one mind, they consented to the covenants, 
 
 21 And appointed a day to meet in together by themselves: 
 and when the day came, and stools were set for either of them, 
 
 22 Judas placed armed men ready in convenient places, lest 
 some treachery should be suddenly practised by the enemies : so 
 they made a peaceable conference. 
 
 23 Now Nicanor abode in Jerusalem, and did no hurt, but 
 sent away the people that came flocking unto him. 
 
 24 And he would not willingly have Judas out of his sight: 
 for he loved the man from his heart. 
 
 25 He prayed him also to take a wife, and to beget children : 
 so he married, was quiet, and took part of this life. 
 
 26 But Alcimus. perceiving the love that was betwixt them, 
 and considering the covenants that were made, came to Deme- 
 trius, and told him that Nicanor was not well-affected towards 
 the state : for that he had ordained Judas, a traitor to his realm ; 
 to be the king's successor. 
 
 27 Then the king being in a rage, and provoked with the ac- 
 cusations of the most wicked man, wrote to Nicanor, signifying 
 that he was much displeased with the covenants, and commanding 
 him that he should send Maccabeus prisoner in all haste unto 
 Antioch. 
 
 28 When this came to Nicanor's hearing, he was much con- 
 founded in himself, and took it grievously that he should make 
 void the articles which were agreed upon, the man being in no fault. 
 
 29 But because there was no dealing against the king, he 
 watched his time to accomplish this thing by policy. 
 
 30 Notwithstanding, when Maccabeus saw that Nicanor began 
 to be churlish unto him, and that he entreated him more roughly 
 than he was wont, perceiving that such sour behaviour came not 
 of good, he gathered together not a few of his men, and with- 
 drew himself from Nicanor. 
 
 31 But the other knowing that he was notably prevented by 
 Judas' policy, came into the great and holy temple, and com- 
 manded the priests, that were offering their usual sacrifices, to 
 deliver him the man. 
 
 32 And when they sware that they could not tell where the 
 man was whom he sought, 
 
 33 He stretched out his right hand toward the temple, and 
 made an oath in this manner : If ye will not deliver me Judas as a 
 prisoner, I will lay this temple of God even with the ground, and I 
 will break down the altar, and erect a notable temple unto Bacchus. 
 
 34 After these words he departed. Then the priests lifted up 
 their hands toward heaven, and besought him that was ever a 
 defender of their nation, saying in this manner; 
 
 35 Thou, Lord of all things, who hast need of nothing, waa 
 pleased that the temple of thine habitation should be among us : 
 
 36 Therefore now, O holy Lord of all holiness, keep thia 
 house ever undefiled, which lately was cleansed, and stop every 
 unrighteous mouth. 
 
 37 Now was there accused unto Nicanor one Razis, one of the 
 elders of Jerusalem, a lover of his countrymen, and a man of very 
 good report, who for his kindness was called a father of the Jews. 
 
 38 For in the former times, when they mingled not them- 
 selves with the Gentiles, he had been accused of Judaism, and 
 did boldly jeopard his body and life with all vehemency for the 
 religion of the Jews. 
 
 39 So Nicanor, willing to declare the hate that he bare unto 
 the Jews, sent above five hundred men of war to take him : 
 
 40 For he thought by taking him to do the Jews much hurt 
 
 41 Now when the multitude would have taken the tower, and 
 violently broken into the outer door, and bade that fire should be 
 brought to burn it, he being ready to be taken on every side, fell 
 upon his sword : 
 
 * 115 
 
 
Apocrypha. 
 
 II. MACCABEES. 
 
 Apocrypha 
 
 42 Choosing rather to die manfully, than to come into the hands 
 of the wicked, to be abused otherwise than beseemed his noble birth : 
 
 43 But missing his stroke through haste, the multitude also 
 rushing within the doors, he ran boldly up to the wall, and cast 
 himself down manfully among the thickest of them. 
 
 44 But they quickly giving back, and a space being made, ue 
 fell down into the midst of the void place. 
 
 45 Nevertheless, while there was yet breath within him, being 
 inflamed with anger, he rose up ; and though his blood gushed 
 out like spouts of water, and his wounds were grievous, yet he ran 
 through the midst of the throng ; and standing upon a steep rock, 
 
 46 When as his blood was now quite gone, he plucked out his 
 bowels, and taking thein in both his hands, he cast them upon 
 the throng, and calling upon the Lord of life and spirit to restore 
 him those again, he thus died. 
 
 CHAPTER XV. 
 
 6 Nicanor's blasphemy. 8 Judas encourageth his men by his dream. 
 28 Nicanor is slain. 
 
 BUT Nicanor, hearing that Judas and his company were in the 
 strong places about Samaria, resolved without any danger to 
 set upon them on the sabbath-day. 
 
 2 Nevertheless the Jews that were compelled to go with him, 
 said, destroy not so cruelly and barbarously, but give honour 
 to that day, which he, that seeth all things, hath honoured with 
 holiness above other days. 
 
 3 Then the most ungracious wretch demanded, if there were 
 a Mighty One in heaven, that had commanded the sabbath-day 
 to be kept. 
 
 4 And when they said, There is in heaven a living Lord, and 
 mighty, who commanded the seventh day to be kept : 
 
 5 Then said the other, And I also am mighty upon earth, and 
 I command to take arms, and to do the king's business. Yet he 
 obtained not to have his wicked will done. 
 
 . 6 So Nicanor in exceeding pride and haughtiness determined 
 to set up a public monument of his victory over Judas and them 
 that were with him. 
 
 7 But Maccabeus had even sure confidence that the Lord 
 would help him : 
 
 8 Wherefore he exhorted his people not to fear the coming of 
 the heathen against them, but to remember the help which in 
 former times they had received from heaven, and now to expect the 
 victory and aid, which should come unto them from the Almighty. 
 
 9 Aad so comforting them out of the law and the prophets, 
 and withal putting them in mind of the battles that they won 
 afore, be made them more cheerful. 
 
 10 And when he had stirred up their minds, he gave them 
 the charge, showing them therewithal the falsehood of the hea- 
 then, and the breach of oaths. 
 
 11 Thus he armed every one of them, not so much with de- 
 fence of phields and spears, is with comfortable and good words : 
 and besides that, he told tbx-m a dream worthy to be believed, as 
 if it had been so indeed, which did not a little rejoice them. 
 
 12 And this was his vision : That Onias, who had been high 
 priest, a virtuous and a good man, reverend in conversation, gen- 
 tle in condition, well-spoken also, and exercised from a child in 
 all points of virtue, holding up his hands, prayed for the whole 
 body of the Jews. 
 
 13 Thn done, in like manner there appeared a man with gray 
 hairs, and exceeding glorious, who was of a wonderful and excel- 
 lent majesty. 
 
 14 Then Onias answered, saying, This is a lover of the breth- 
 ren, who prayeth much for the people, and for the holy city, to 
 wit, Jeremias the prophet of God. 
 
 15 Whereupon Jeremias holding forth his right hand, gave to 
 Judas a sword of gold, and, in giving it, spake thus. 
 
 16 Take this holy sword, a gift from God, with tne which thou 
 ehalt wound the adversaries. 
 
 17 Thus being well comforted by the words of Judas, which 
 weie very good, and able to stir them up to valour, and to encou- 
 
 116 
 
 rage the hearts of the youtg men, they determined njt to pit/ch 
 camp, but courageously to set upon them, and manfully to try 
 the matter by conflict, because the city and the sanctuary and the 
 temple were in danger. 
 
 18 For the care that they took for their wives, and their chil- 
 dren, their brethren, and kinsfolks, was in least account with 
 them : but the greatest and principal fear was for the holy temple 
 
 19 Also they that were in the city took not the least care, 
 being troubled for the conflict abroad. 
 
 20 And now, when as all looked what should be the trial, and 
 the enemies were already come near, and the army was set in array, 
 and the beasts conveniently placed, and the horsemen set in wings, 
 
 21 Maccabeus, seeing the coining of the multitude, and the 
 divers preparations of armour, and the fierceness of the beasts, 
 stretched out his hands towards heaven, and called upon the Lord 
 that worketh wonders, knowing that victory cometh not by arms, 
 but even as it seemeth good to him, he giveth it to such as are 
 worthy : 
 
 22 Therefore in his prayer he said after this manner : Lord, 
 thou didst send thine angel in the time of Ezjekias king of Judea, 
 and didst slay in the host of Sennacherib an hundred fourscore 
 and five thousand : 
 
 23 Wherefore now also, Lord of heaven, send a good angel 
 before us for a fear and dread unto them ; 
 
 24 And through the might of thine arm let those be stricken 
 with terror, that come against thy holy people to blaspheme. 
 And he ended thus. 
 
 25 Then Nicanor and they that were with him came forward 
 with trumpets and songs. 
 
 26 But Judas and his company encountered the enemies with 
 invocation and prayer. 
 
 27 So that fighting with their hands, and praying unto God 
 with their hearts, they slew no less than thirty and five thousand 
 men : for through the appearance of God they were greatly 
 cheered. 
 
 28 Now when the battle was done, returning again with joy, 
 they knew that Nicanor lay dead in his harness. 
 
 29 Then they made a great shout and a noise, praising the 
 Almighty in their own language. 
 
 30 And Judas, who was ever the chief defender of the citi- 
 zens, both in body and mind, and who continued his love towards 
 his countrymen all his life, commanded to strike off Nicanor's 
 head, and his hand with his shoulder, and bring them to Jeru- 
 salem. 
 
 31 So when he was there, and had called them of his nation 
 together, and set the priests before the altar, he sent for them 
 that were of the tower, 
 
 32 And showed them vile Nicanor's head, and the hand of 
 that blasphemer, which with proud brags he had stretched out 
 against the holy temple of the Almighty. 
 
 33 And when he had cut out the tongue of that ungodly Ni- 
 canor, he commanded that they should give it by pieces unto the 
 fowls, and hang up the reward of his madness before the temple. 
 
 34 So every man praised toward the heaven the glorious Lord, 
 saying, Blessed be he that hath kept his own place undefiled. 
 
 35 He hanged also Nicanor's head upon the tower, an evidenl 
 and manifest sign unto all of the help of the Lord. 
 
 36 And they ordained all with a common decree, in no case 
 to let that day pass without solemnity, but to celebrate the thir- 
 teenth day of the twelfth month, which in the Syrian tongue is 
 called Adar, the day before Mardocheus' day. 
 
 37 Thus went it with Nicanor : and from that time forth the 
 Hebrews had the city in their power. And here will I make an end. 
 
 38 And if / have done well, and as is fitting the story, it is 
 that which I desired : but if slenderly and meanly, it is that 
 which I could attain unto. 
 
 39 For as it is hurtful to drink wine or water alone ; and as 
 wine mingled with water is pleasant, and delighteth the taste : 
 even so speech finely framed delighteth the ears of them that 
 read the story. And here shall be an end.

 CHAP. I. 
 
 The genealogy of Jesus Christ. 18 Mary's miraculous conception ; 
 Jesus is born. 21, 23 His names, with, their interpretation. 
 
 fPIIE book of the "generation of Jesus Christ, *the 
 J- son of David, "the son of Abraham. 
 
 2 d Abraham begat Isaac; and 'Isaac begat Jacob; 
 and •'"Jacob begat Judas and his brethren; 
 
 3 And * Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; 
 and * Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram; 
 
 4 And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab 
 begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon; 
 
 5 And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz 
 begat Obed of Ruth ; and Obed begat Jesse ; 
 
 6 And 'Jesse begat David the king; and k David 
 the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife 
 of Urias ; 
 
 7 And 'Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam 
 begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa; 
 
 a And Asa begat Josaphat ; and Josaphat begat 
 Joram ; and Joram begat Ozias ; 
 
 9 And Ozias begat Joatham ; and Joatham begat 
 Achaz ; and Achaz begat Ezekias ; 
 
 10 And m Ezekias begat Manasses ; and Manasses 
 begat Anion ; and Amon begat Josias ; 
 
 11 And || " J osias begat Jechonias and his brethren, 
 about the time they were "carried away to Babylon: 
 
 12 And after they were brought to Babylon, 
 p Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat 
 ' Zorobabel ; 
 
 1 3 And Zorobabel begat Abiud ; and Abiud begat 
 Eliakim ; and Eliakim begat Azor ; 
 
 14 And Azor begat Sadoc ; and Sadoc begat 
 Achim; and Achim begat Eliud; 
 
 15 And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat 
 Matthan ; and Matthan begat Jacob ; 
 
 16 And Jacob begat 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 
 carrying away into Babylon are fourteen genera- 
 tions ; and from the carrying away into Babylon 
 unto Christ are fourteen generations. 
 
 18 II Now the r birth of Jesus Christ was on this 
 wise : When as his mother Mary was espoused to 
 Joseph, before they came together, she was found 
 with child ' of the Holy Ghost. 
 
 19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, 
 and not willing ' to make her a public example, was 
 minded to put her away privily. 
 
 20 But while he thought on these things, behold, 
 the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, 
 saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take 
 unto thee Mary thy wife: "for that which is f con- 
 ceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. 
 
 21 'And she shall bring forth a son, and thou 
 shalt call his name || JESUS: for y he shall save his 
 people from their sins. 
 
 22 Now all this was done, that it might be ful- 
 filled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, 
 saying, 
 
 23 z Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall 
 bring forth a son, and || they shall call his name Em- 
 manuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

 24 Then Joseph, being raised from sleep, did as

 CHAP. II. 
 
 1 Wise men inquire after Christ. 1 1 They worship him, and offer pre- 
 sents. 13 Joseph fleeth into Egypt with Jesus and Mary. 16 Herod 
 slayeth the children at Bethlehem. 19 Christ brought out of Egypt. 
 
 NOW when "Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Ju- 
 dea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there 
 came wise men 'from the east to Jerusalem. 
 
 2 Saying, c Where is he that is born King of the 
 Jews? for we have seen ''his star in the east, and 
 are come to worship him. 
 
 3 When Herod the king had heard these things. 
 he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. 
 
 4 And when he had gathered all ' the chief priests 
 and •'scribes of the people together, s he demanded 
 of them where Christ should be born. 
 
 5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Ju- 
 dea: for thus it is written by the prophet, 
 
 6 A And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art 
 not the least among the princes of Juda: for out 
 of thee shall come a Governor, 'that shall || rule my 
 people Israel. 
 
 7 Then Herod, when he had privily called the 
 wise men, inquired of them diligently what time 
 the star appeared. 
 
 8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go 
 and search diligently for the young child; and when 
 ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may 
 come and worship him also. 
 
 9 When they nad heard the king, they departed : 
 and lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went 
 before them, till it came and stood over where the 
 young child was. 
 
 10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with 
 exceeding great joy. 
 
 11 HAnd when they were come into the house, 
 they saw the young child with Mary his mother, 
 and fell down, and worshipped him : and when they 
 had opened their treasures, * they || presented unto 
 him gifts ; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. 
 
 12 And being warned of God 'in a dream that 
 they should not return to Herod, they departed 
 into their own country another way. 
 
 13 And when they were departed, behold, the 
 angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, 
 saying, Arise, and take the young child and his 
 mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou theje 
 until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the 
 young child to destroy him. 
 
 14 When he arose, he took the young 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 of the Lord 
 by the prophet, saying, "' Out of Egypt have I called 
 my Son. 
 
 16 IT Then Herod, when he saw that he was 
 mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and 
 sent forth, and slew all the children that were in 
 Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two

 ?ears old and under, according to the time which 
 fie had diligently inquired of the wise men. 
 
 17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by 
 'Jeremy the prophet, saying, 
 
 18 In Kama was there a voice heard, lamenta- 
 tion, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel 
 weeping for her children, and would not be com- 
 forted, because they are not. 
 
 19 TBut when Herod was dead, behold, an angel 
 of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, 
 
 20 Saying, Arise, and take the young child and 
 his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they 
 are dead which sought the young child's life. 
 
 21 And he arose, and took the young child and 
 his mother, and came into the land of Israel. 
 
 22 But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in 
 Judea. in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid 
 to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God 
 in a dream, he turned. aside "into the parts of Galilee : 
 
 23 And he came and dwelt in a city called ''Na- 
 zareth: that it might be fulfilled 'which was spoken 
 by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.

 1 John preacheth; his office, 5 and baptism. 7 lie rebuketk the Pharisees. 
 13 Christ baptized by John in Jordan. 
 
 IN those days came "John the Baptist, preaching 
 6 in the wilderness of Judea, 
 
 2 And saying, Repent ye; for c the kingdom of 
 heaven is at hand. 
 
 3 For this is he that was spoken of by the pro- 
 phet Esaias, saying, d The voice of one crving in the 
 wilderness, e Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make 
 his paths straight. 
 
 4 And Ahe same John *had his raiment of camel's 
 hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his 
 meat was A locusts and 'wild honey. 
 
 5 * Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Ju- 
 dea, and all the region round about Jordan, 
 
 6 'And were baptized of him in Jordan, confess- 
 ing their sins. 
 
 7 IT But when he saw many of the Pharisees and 
 Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, 
 71 generation of vipers, who hath warned you to 
 dee from "the wrath to come?. 
 
 8 Bring forth therefore fruits llmeet for repentance : 
 
 9 And think not to say within yourselves, "We 
 have Abraham to our father : for I say unto you, that 
 God is able of these stones to raise up children unto 
 Abraham. 
 
 10 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of 
 the trees : p therefore every tree which bringeth not 
 forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 
 
 11 q I indeed baptize you with water unto repent- 
 ance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than 
 [, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: r he shall 
 oaptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire : 
 
 12 'Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thor- 
 oughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into 
 the garner; but he will 'burn up the chalf with 
 unquenchable fire. 
 
 13 H"Then cometh Jesus -"from Galilee to Jordan 
 unto John, to be baptized of him. 
 
 14 But John forbade him, saying, I have need 
 to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? 
 
 15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it 
 tc be so now : for_ thus it beeometh us to fulfil all 
 righteousness. Then he sutfered him.

 straightway out of the water: and lo. the heaventi 
 were opened unto him, and he saw 'the Spirit of 
 God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him :

 THEN was " Jesus led up of 'the Spirit into the 
 wilderness to be tempted of the devil. 
 _ 2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty 
 nights, he was afterward an hungered. 
 
 3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, 
 If thou be the Son of God, command that these 
 stones be made bread. 
 
 4 But he answered and said, It is written, 'Man 
 shall not live by bread alone, but by every woid 
 that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. 
 
 5 Then the devil taketh him up d into the holy 
 city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, 
 
 6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, 
 cast thyself dowm, for it is written, 'He shall give 
 his angels charge concerning thee; and in their 
 hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time 
 thou dash thy foot against a stone. 
 
 7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, -Thou 
 shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 
 
 8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceed- 
 ing high mountain, and sheweth him all the king- 
 doms of the world, and the glory of them; 
 
 9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give 
 thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. 
 
 10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, 
 Satan: for it is written, *Thou shalt worship the 
 Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 
 
 11 Then the devil leaveth him, and behold, 
 h angels came and ministered unto him. 
 
 12 IP Now when Jesus had heard that John was 
 
 II cast into prison, he departed into Galilee ; 
 
 13 And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in 
 Capernaum, which is upon the sea-coast, in the 
 borders of Zabulon and Nepthalim; 
 
 14 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken 
 by Esaias the prophet, saying, 
 
 15 *The land of Zabulon, and the land of Neph- 
 thalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan. Gali- 
 lee of the Gentiles: 
 
 16 'The people which sat in darkness, saw great 
 light; and to them which sat in the region and 
 shadow of death, light is sprung up. 
 
 17 IT m From that time Jesus began to preach, and to 
 say, "Repent; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. 
 
 18 11" 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 
 fishers. 
 
 19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and q 1 
 will make you fishers of men. 
 
 20 r And they straightway left their nets, and 
 followed him. 
 
 21 'And going on from thence, he saw other two 
 brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his 
 brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mend- 
 ing their nets : and he called them. 
 
 22 And they immediately left the ship, and their 
 father, and followed him. 
 
 23 II And Jesus went about all Galilee, 'teaching 
 in their synaeoaues- and preaching "the srosucl it Uie

 kingdom, 'and healing all manner of sickness, and 
 all manner of disease among the people. 
 
 24 And his fame went throughout all Syria : and 
 they brought unto him all sick people that were 
 taken with divers diseases and torments, and those 
 which were possessed with devils, and those which 
 were lunatic, and those that had the palsy; and he 
 healed them. 
 
 25 s'And there followed him great multitudes 
 of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and 
 from Jerusalem, and from J udea, and from beyond 
 Jordan.

 8 Who are blessed. 13 The disciples called the salt of the earth, and light 
 of the world ; Christ urgeth on them a good examjjle, §c. 
 
 AND seeing the multitudes, °he went up into a 
 mountain : and when he was set, his disciples 
 came unto him. 
 
 2 And lie opened his mouth, and taught them, 
 saying, 
 
 3 6 Blessed are the poor in spirit : for theirs is the 
 kingdom of heaven. 
 
 4 c Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall 
 be comforted. 
 
 5 ''Blessed are the meek: for 'they shall inherit 
 the earth. 
 
 6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst 
 after righteousness : •'for they shall be filled. 
 
 7 Blessed are the merciful: *for they shall obtain 
 mercy. 
 
 8 ''Blessed are the pure in heart: for 'they shall 
 see God. 
 
 9 Blessed are the peace-makers: for they shall 
 be called the children of God. 
 
 10 * Blessed are they which are persecuted for 
 righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of 
 heaven. • 
 
 11 'Blessed are ye when men shall revile you, 
 and persecute you, and shall say all manner of m evil 
 against you f falsely, for my sake. 
 
 12 "Rejoice, and be exceeding glad : for great is 
 your reward in heaven : for " so persecuted they the 
 prophets which were before you. 
 
 13 If Ye are the salt of the earth: ''but if the salt 
 have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? 
 it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast 
 out, and to be trodden under foot of men. 
 
 14 ? Ye are the light of the world. A city that 
 is set on an hill cannot be hid. 
 
 15 Neither do men r light a candle, and put it un- 
 der || a bushel, but on a candlestick : and it giveth 
 light unto all that are in the house. 
 
 16 Let your light so shine before men, 'that they 
 may see your good works, and ' glorify your Father 
 which is in heaven. 
 
 17 If " Think not that I am come to destroy the law, 
 ar the prophets : I am not come to destroy, but to 
 fulfil. 
 
 18 For verily I say unto you, T " Till heaven and 
 earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass 
 from the law, till all be fulfilled. 
 
 19 x Whosoever therefore shall break one of these 
 least commandments, and shall teach men so, he 
 shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven : 
 but whosoever shall do, and teach them, the same 
 shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 
 
 20 For I say unto you, That except your right- 
 eousness shall exceed ,J the righteousness of the

 Scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into 
 the kingdom of heaven. 
 
 21 If Ye have heard that it was said || by them of 
 old time, *Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall 
 kill, shall be in danger of the judgment: 
 
 22 But I say unto you, That "whosoever is angry 
 with his brother without a cause, shall be in danger 
 of the judgment: and Avhosoever shall say to his 
 brother, H'Baca, shall be in clanger of the council- 
 but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in dan- 
 ger of hell-fire. 
 
 23 Therefore, c if thou bring thy gift to the altar, 
 and there rememberest that thy brother hath aught 
 against thee, 
 
 24 d Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go 
 thy way ; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then 
 come and offer thy gift. 
 
 25 'Agree with thine adversary quickly, S while 
 thou art in the way with him ; lest at any time the ad- 
 versary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge de- 
 liver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. 
 
 26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no 
 means come out thence, till thou hast paid tho 
 uttermost farthing. 
 
 27 TfYe have heard that it was said by them of 
 old time, *Thou shalt not commit adultery : 
 
 28 But I say unto you, That whosoever A looketh 
 on a woman to lust after her, hath committed adul- 
 tery with her already in his heart. 
 
 29 'And if thy right eye II offend thee, * pluck it 
 out, and cast it from thee : for it is profitable for thee 
 that one of thy members should perish, and not that 
 thy whole body should be cast into hell. 
 
 30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, 
 and cast it from thee : for it is profitable for thee 
 that one of thy members should perish, and not that 
 thy whole body should be cast into hell. 
 
 31 It hath been said, 'Whosoever shall put away 
 his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: 
 
 32 But I say unto you, That "'whosoever shall put 
 away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, 
 causeth her to commit adultery : and whosoever shall 
 marry her that is divorced, committeth adultery. 
 
 33 If Again ye have heard that "it hath been said 
 by them of old time, "Thou shalt not forswear thy- 
 self, but p shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths : 
 
 34 But I say unto you, ? Swear not at all : neithei 
 by heaven; for it is r God's throne: 
 
 35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neithei 
 by Jerusalem; for it is 'the city of the great King : 
 
 36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because 
 thou canst not make one hair white or black. 
 
 37 'But let your communication be, Yea, yea; 
 Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh 
 of evil. 
 
 38 If Ye have heard that it hath been said, "An 
 eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. 
 
 39 But I say unto you, x That ye resist not evil : 
 ^but Avhosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, 
 turn to him the other also. 
 
 40 And if any man will sue thee at the law. and 
 take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also. 
 
 41 And whosoever z shall compel thee to go a 
 mile, go with him twain. 
 
 42 Give to him that asketh thee, and "from him 
 that would borrow of thee, turn not thou away. 
 
 43 If Ye have heard that it hath been said, 'Thou 
 shalt love thy neighbour, f and hate thine enemy: 
 
 581 
 
l/f alms, prayer, and forgiveness 
 
 ST. MATTHEW. 
 
 To avoid worldly care. 
 
 44 But I say unto you, ''Love your enemies, 
 oless them that curse you, do good to them that 
 hate you, and pray 'for them which despitefully use 
 you, and persecute you; 
 
 45 That ye may be the children of your Father 
 which is in heaven ■ for -/'he maketh his sun to rise 
 on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the 
 just and on the unjust. 
 
 46 y For if ye love them which love you, what re- 
 ward 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 
 which is in heaven is perfect.

 and mammon. 
 
 TAKE heed that ye do not your || alms before 
 men, to be seen of them : otherwise ye have no 
 reward || of your Father which is in heaven. 
 
 2 Therefore, "when thou doest thine alms, [[do 
 not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites 
 do, in the synagogues, and in the streets, that they 
 may have glory of men. Verily I say unto 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 Fa- 
 ther which seeth in secret, himself b shall reward 
 thee openly. 
 
 5 If And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as 
 the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing 
 in the synagogues, and in the corners of the streets, 
 that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto 
 you, They have their reward. 
 
 6 But thou, when thou prayest, 'enter into tby 
 closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to 
 thy Father, which is in secret ; and thy Father, 
 which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly. 
 
 7 But when ye pray, rf use not vain repetitions, 
 as the heathen do: "for they think that they shall 
 be heard for their much speaking. 
 
 8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your 
 Father knoweth what things ye have need of before 
 ye ask him. 
 
 9 After this manner therefore pray ye: ■'"Our Fa- 
 ther which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 
 
 10 Thy kingdom come. *Thy will be done in 
 earth, A as it is in heaven. 
 
 11 Give us this day our l daily bread. 
 
 12 And * forgive us our debts, as we forgive our 
 debtors. 
 
 13 'And lead us not into temptation, but m 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 trespasses, 
 neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. 
 
 12 II Moreover, 'when ye fast, be not as the hy- 
 pocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure 
 their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. 
 Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 
 
 17 But thou, when thou fastest, 'anoint thine 
 nead, and wash thy face; 
 
 18 That thou appear not unto men, to fast, but 
 unto thy Father, which is in secret : and thy Father, 
 which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.

 19 H'Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon 
 earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where 
 thieves break through and steal: 
 
 20 ' But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, 
 where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, 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 there- 
 fore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full 
 of light. 
 
 23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall 
 be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is 
 in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness ! 
 
 24 H x No man can serve two masters: for either 
 he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he 
 will hold to the one, and despise the other. »Ye 
 cannot serve God and mammon. 
 
 25 Therefore I say unto you, z Take no thought for 
 your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink ; 
 nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not 
 the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? 
 
 26 "Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow 
 not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet 
 your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not 
 much better than they? 
 
 27 Which of you by taking thought can add one 
 cubit unto his stature ? 
 
 28 And why take ye thought for raiment ? Con- 
 sider the lilies of the field how they grow; they toil 
 not, neither do they spin; 
 
 29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon 
 in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 
 
 30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the 
 field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the 
 oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of 
 little faith? 
 
 31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall 
 we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal 
 shall we be clothed ? 
 
 32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles 
 seek) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye 
 have need of all these things. 
 
 33 But *seek ye first the kingdom of God, and 
 his righteousness, and all these things shall be 
 added unto you. 
 
 34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow : 
 for the morrow shall take thought for the things of 
 itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

 1 Christ, ending his sermon on the mount, reprovelh rash judgment, 6 for- 
 biddeth to cast holy things to dogs, 7 exhorlelh to prayer, 13 to enter in at 
 the strait gate, §c. 
 
 JUDGE "not, that ye be not judged. 
 2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall 
 be judged: 6 and with what measure ye mete, it 
 shall be measured to you again. 
 
 3 c And why beholdest thou the mote that is in 
 thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that 
 is in thine own eye ? 
 
 4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let mo 
 pull out the mote out of thine eye; and behold, a 
 beam is in thine OAvn eye? 
 
 5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of 
 thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly tc 
 cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye. 
 
 6 IT ''Give not that which is holy unto the dog?, 
 neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they 
 
Of false prophets 
 
 trample them under their feet, and turn again and 
 rend you. 
 
 7 V Ask. and it shall be given you; seek, and ye 
 shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 
 
 8 For •/" every one that asketh, receiveth; and he 
 that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, it 
 shall be opened. 
 
 9 y Or what man is there of you, whom if his son 
 ask bread, will he give him a stone? 
 
 10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? 
 
 11 If ye then '' being evil know how to give good 
 gifts unto your children, how much more shall your 
 Father which is in heaven give good things to them 
 that ask him ? 
 
 12 Therefore all things 'whatsoever ye would 
 that men should do to you, do ye even so to them : 
 for * this is the law and the prophets. 
 
 13 IT' Enter ye in at the strait gate; for wide is 
 the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to de- 
 struction, and many there be which go in thereat: 
 
 14 || Because, strait is the gate, and narrow is the 
 way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that 
 find it. 
 
 15 IT" 1 Beware of false prophets, "which come to 
 you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are 
 'ravening wolves. 
 
 16 'Ye shall know them by their fruits : 'Do men 
 gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 
 
 17 Even so r every good tree bringeth forth good 
 fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 
 
 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, 
 neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 
 
 19 'Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit 
 is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 
 
 20 Wherefore, by their fruits ye shall know them. 
 
 21 IT Not every one that saith unto me, 'Lord, 
 Lord, shall entei into the kingdom of heaven; but 
 he that doeth the will of my Father which is in 
 heaven. 
 
 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, 
 have we "not prophesied in thy name? and in thy 
 name have cast out devils? and in thy name done 
 many wonderful works? 
 
 23 And ^then will I profess unto them, I never 
 knew you: y depart from me, ye that work iniquity. 
 
 24 IT Therefore, z whosoever heareth these sayings 
 of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a 
 wise man, which built his house upon a rock : 
 
 25 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 upon a rock. 
 
 26 And every one that heareth these sayings of 
 mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a 
 foolish man, which built his house upon the sand : 
 
 27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, 
 and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; 
 and it fell : and great was the fall of it. 
 
 28 And it came to pass when Jesus had ended 
 these sayings, "the people were astonished at his 
 doctrine. 
 
 29 "For he taught them as one having authority, 
 and not as the scribes.

 2 "And behold, there came a leper and worship- 
 ped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make 
 me clean. 
 
 3 And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, 
 saying, I will, be thou clean. And immediately 
 his leprosy was cleansed. 
 
 4 And Jesus saith unto him, 4 See thou tell no 
 man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, 
 and offer the gift that c Moses commanded, for a 
 testimony unto them. 
 
 5 IT J And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, 
 there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him, 
 
 6 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home 
 sick of the pals}-, grievously tormented. 
 
 7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and 
 heal him. 
 
 8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, e I am 
 not worthy that thou shouldest come under my 
 roof: but -/"speak the word only, and my servant 
 shall be healed. 
 
 9 For I am a man under authority, having sol- 
 diers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he 
 goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and 
 to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. 
 
 10 When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said 
 to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I 
 have not found so great faith, no. not in Israel. 
 
 1 1 And I say unto you, That s many shall come from 
 the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, 
 and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven : 
 
 12 But Hhe children of the kingdom 'shall bo 
 cast out into outer darkness : there shall be weep- 
 ing and gnashing of teeth. 
 
 13 And Jesus said unto the centurion, Co thy 
 way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto 
 thee. And his servant was healed in the self-same 
 hour. 
 
 14 IT* And when Jesus w r as come into Peter's 
 house, he saw 'his wife's mother laid, and sick of a 
 fever. 
 
 15 And he touched her hand, and the fevei left 
 her: and she arose, and ministered unto them. 
 
 16 1T m ~When the even was come, they brought 
 unto him many that were possessed with devils : 
 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 Esaias the prophet, saying, "Himself took our 
 infirmities, and bare our sicknesses. 
 
 18 11 Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about 
 him, he gave commandment to depart unto the 
 other side. 
 
 19 "And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, 
 Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou poest. 
 
 20 And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have 
 holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the 
 Son of man hath not where to lay his head. 
 
 21 /"And another of his disciples said unto him, 
 Lord, 'suffer me first to go and bury my father. 
 
 22 But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and lot 
 the dead bury their dead. 
 
 23 IT And when he was entered into a ship, his 
 disciples followed him. 
 
 24 r And behold, there arose a great tempest m 
 the sea, insomuch that the ship was coveted with 
 the waves : but he was asleep. 
 
 25 And his disciples came to him. and awoke 
 him, saying, Lord, save us : we perish.

 26 And lie saith unto them, Why are ye fearful,

 the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. 
 
 27 But the men marvelled, saying, What manner 
 of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey 
 him ! 
 
 28 If 'And when he was come to the other side, into 
 the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two pos- 
 sessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceed- 
 ing fierce, so that no man might pass by that way. 
 
 "29 And behold, they cried out, saying, What have 
 we to do with thee, Jesus, thou son of God? art 
 thou come hither to torment us before the time? 
 
 30 And there was a good w T ay off from them an 
 herd of many swine, feeding. 
 
 31 So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast 
 us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine. 
 
 32 And he said unto them, Go. And when they 
 were come out, they went into the herd of swine: 
 and behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently 
 down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the 
 waters. 
 
 33 And they that kept them, fled, and went their 
 ways into the city, and told every thing; and what 
 was befallen to the possessed of the devils. 
 
 34 And behold, the whole city came out to meet 
 Jesus : and when they saw him, "they besought him 
 that he would depart out of their coasts.

 AND he entered into a ship, and passed over, 
 "and came into his own city. 
 
 2 *And behold, they brought to him a man sick 
 of the palsy, lying on a bed: "and Jesus, seeing their 
 faith, said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, be of 
 good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee. 
 
 3 And behold, certain of the scribes said within 
 themselves, This man blasphemeth. 
 
 4 And Jesus, ''knowing their thoughts, said, 
 Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts? 
 
 5 For whether is easier to say, Thy sins be for- 
 given 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 sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, 
 and go unto thine house. 
 
 7 And he arose, and departed to his house. 
 
 8 But when the multitude saw it, they marvelled, 
 and glorified God, which had given such power unto 
 men. 
 
 9 II 'And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he 
 saw a man named Matthew, sitting at the receipt 
 of custom : and he saith unto him, Follow me. And 
 he arose, and followed him. 
 
 10 Tf^And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat 
 in the house, behold many publicans and sinners 
 came and sat down with him and his disciples. 
 
 11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said 
 unto his disciples, Why eateth your master with 
 1 publicans and ''sinners f 
 
 12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto 
 them, They that be whole need not a physician, 
 but they that are sick. 
 
 13 But go ye and learn Avhat that meaneth, 'I will 
 
 have mercy, and not sacrifice : for I am not come 
 
 to call the righteous, *but sinners to repentance.

 14 II Then came to him the disciples of John, 
 saying, 'Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but 
 thy disciples fast not? 
 
 15 And Jesus said unto them, Can m the children 
 of the bride-chamber mourn, as long as the bride- 
 groom is Avith them? but the days will come, wheu 
 the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and "then 
 shall they fast. 
 
 16 No man putteth a piece of II new cloth unto an 
 old garment: for that which is put in to fill it up, 
 taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse. 
 
 17 Neither do men put new wine into old bottles : 
 else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, 
 and the bottles perish : but they put new wine into 
 new bottles, and both are preserved. 
 
 18 If" While he spake these things unto them, be- 
 hold, there came a certain ruler, and Avorshipped 
 him, saying, My daughter is even now dead : but 
 come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live. 
 
 19 And Jesus arose, and folloAA'ed him, and so did 
 his disciples. 
 
 20 If (''And behold a Avoman which Avas diseased 
 Avith an issue of blood twelve years, came behind 
 him, and touched the hem of his garment. 
 
 21 For she said Avithin herself, If I may but 
 touch his garment, I shall be AA'hole. 
 
 22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he 
 saAv her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort: 
 q thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman 
 was made Avhole from that hour.) 
 
 23 r And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, 
 and saw ' the minstrels and the people making a noise, 
 
 24 He said unto them, 'Give place : for the maid is 
 not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn. 
 
 25 But Avhen the people were put forth, he Avent 
 in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose. 
 
 26 And || the fame hereof Avent abroad into all 
 that land. 
 
 27 If And Avhen Jesus departed thence, two blind 
 men followed him, crying, and saying, " Thou son of 
 David, have mercy on us. 
 
 28 And when he was come into the house, the 
 blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, 
 BelieA'e ye that I am able to do this? They said 
 unto him, Yea, Lord. 
 
 29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, Accord- 
 ing to your faith, be it unto you. 
 
 30 And their eyes Avere opened ; and Jesus straitly 
 charged them, saying, * See that no man know it. 
 
 31 y But they, Avhen they Avere departed, spread 
 abroad his fame in all that country. 
 
 32 1f z As they went out, behold, they brought to 
 him a dumb man possessed Avith a devil. 
 
 33 And when the devil was cast out, the dumb 
 spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It 
 Avas never so seen in Israel. 
 
 34 But the Pharisees said, "He casteth out devils, 
 through the prince of the devils. 
 
 35 A And Jesus Avent about all the cities and vil 
 lages, 'teaching in their synagogues, and preaching 
 the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sick- 
 ness, and every disease among the people. 
 
 36 If ''But Avhen he saw the multitudes, he was 
 moved with compassion on them, because they 
 II fainted, and Avere scattered abroad, 'as sheep haA r - 
 ing no shepherd.

 I Christ sendeth his apostles to do miracles, 5 to preach : 1G he telleth them 
 of persecutions. 40 Blessings to those who receive them. 
 
 AND "when he had called unto him his twelve 
 disciples, he gave them power || against unclean 
 spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of 
 sickness, and all manner of disease. 
 
 2 Now the names of the twelve apostles are 
 these; The first, Simon, 6 who is called Peter, and 
 Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and 
 John his brother; 
 
 3 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Mat- 
 thew the publican; James the son of Alphcus, and 
 Lebbeus, whose surname was Thaddeus; 
 
 4 c Simon the Canaanite, and Judas ^Iscariot, who 
 also betrayed him. 
 
 5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded 
 them, saying, 'Go not into the way of the Gentiles, 
 and into any city of Ahe Samaritans enter ye not. 
 
 6 'But go rather to the A lost sheep of the house 
 of Israel. 
 
 7 'And as ye go, preach, saying, *The kingdom 
 of heaven is at hand. 
 
 8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, 
 cast out devils : 'freely ye have received, freely give. 
 
 9 m II Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor "brass 
 in your purses; 
 
 10 Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, 
 neither shoes, nor yet t staves : ("for the workman 
 is worthy of his meat.) 
 
 11 *"And into whatsoever city or town ye shall 
 enter, inquire who in it is worthy; and there abide 
 till ye go thence. 
 
 12 And when ye come into an house, salute it. 
 
 13 'And if the house be worthy, let your peace 
 come upon it: r but if it be not worthy, let your 
 peace return to you. 
 
 14 'And whosoever shall not receive you, nor 
 hear your words, when ye depart out of that house, 
 jr city, 'shake off the dust of your feet. 
 
 15 Verily I say unto you, "It shall be more tol- 
 erable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah, in the 
 day of judgment, than for that city. 
 
 16 H* Behold, I send you forth as sheep i;i the 
 midst of wolves : y be ye therefore wise as serpents, 
 and z || harmless as doves. 
 
 17 But beware of men: for "they will deliver 
 you up to the councils, and Hhey will scourge you 
 m their synagogues. 
 
 18 And c ye shall be brought before governors 
 and kings for my sake, for a testimony against 
 them and the Gentiles. 
 
 19 d But when they deliver you up, take no 
 thought how or what ye shall speak, for c it shall be 
 given you in that same hour Avhat ye shall speak. 
 
 20 J For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of 
 your Father which speaketh in you. 
 
 21 'And the brother shall deliver up the brother 
 to death, and the father the child : and the children 
 shall rise up against their parents, and cause them 
 to be put to death. 
 
 22 And '-ye shall be hated of all men for my 
 name's sake: 'but he that endureth to the end shall 
 be saved. 
 
 23 But *when they persecute you in this city, 
 Qce ye into another : for verily 1 say unto you, Ye

 AND it came to pass when Jesus had made an en

 2 "Now when John had heard 6 in the prison the

 7 If s And as they departed, Jesus began to say 
 unto the multitudes concerning John, What went 
 ye out into the wilderness to see? A A reed shaken 
 with the wind? 
 
 8 But what went ye out for to see? A man 
 clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that wear 
 6oft clothing are in king's houses. 
 
 9 But what went ye out for to see ? A prophet ? 
 yea, I say unto you, 'and more than a prophet. 
 
 10 For this is he of whom it is written, * Behold, 
 I send my messenger before thy face, which shall 
 prepare thy way before thee. 
 
 1 1 Verily I say unto you, Among them that are 
 born of women, there hath not risen a greater than 
 John the Baptist: notwithstanding, he that is least 
 in the kingdom of heaven, is greater than he. 
 
 12 'And from the days of John the Baptist, until 
 now, the kingdom of heaven [| suffereth violence,

 15 "He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. 
 
 16 IP But whereunto shall I liken this genera- 
 tion? It is like unto children sitting in the mar- 
 kets, and calling unto their fellows, 
 
 17 And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye 
 have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and 
 ye have not lamented. 
 
 18 For John came neither eating nor 
 and they say, He hath a devil. 
 
 19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, 
 and they say, Behold, a man gluttonous, and a wine- 
 bibber, ? a friend of publicans and sinners. r But 
 wisdom is justified of her children. 
 
 20 IT* Then began he to upbraid the cities where- 
 in most of his mighty works were done, because 
 they repented not. 
 
 2 L Wo unto thee, Chorazin ! wo unto thee, Beth- 
 saida! 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 unto you, "It shall be more tolera- 
 ble for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than 
 for you. 
 
 23 And thou, Capernaum, x which art exalted unto 
 heaven, shalt be brought down to hell : 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 unto you, y That it shall be more 
 tolerable for the land of Sodom, in the day of judg- 
 ment, than for thee. 
 
 25 1F z At that time Jesus answered and said, I 
 thank thee, Father, Lord of he;i/en and earth, 
 because "thou hast hid these things from the wise 
 and prudent, *and hast revealed them unto babes. 
 
 26 Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in thy 
 sight. 
 
 27 'All things are delivered unto me of my Father; 
 and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; ''nei- 
 ther knoweth any man the Father, save the Son,

 CHAP. XII. 
 
 1 Christ reprovelh the blindness of the Pharisees concerning the breach ct 
 the sabbath. 9 lie healelh the withered hand, £c. 
 
 AT that time "Jesus went on the sabbath-day 
 through the corn, and his disciples were an hun- 
 gered, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat. 
 
 2 But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto 
 him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not law- 
 ful to do upon the sabbath-day. 
 
 3 But he said unto them, Have ye not read 4 what 
 David did when he was an hungered, and they that 
 were with him; 
 
 4 How he entered into the house of God, and did 
 eat 'the shew-bread, which was not lawful for him 
 to eat, neither for them which were with him, rf but 
 only for the priests? 
 
 5 Or have ye not read in the 'law how that on 
 the sabbath-days the priests in the temple profane 
 the sabbath, and are blameless? 
 
 6 But I say unto you, That in this place is f om 
 greater than the temple. 
 
 7 But if ye had known what this meaneth, *'l will 
 have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have 
 condemned the guiltless. 
 
 8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sab- 
 bath-day. 
 
 9 A And when he was departed thence, he went 
 into their synagogue. 
 
 10 HAnd behold, there was a man which had his 
 hand withered. And they asked him, saying, 'Irf 
 it lawful to heal on the sabbath-days ? that thej 
 might accuse him. 
 
 11 And he said unto them, What man shall therj 
 be among you, that shall have one sheep, and *if it 
 fall into a pit on the sabbath-day, will he not lay 
 hold on it, and lift it out ? 
 
 12 How much then is a man better than a sheep? 
 Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath-days. 
 
 13 Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine 
 hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was re- 
 stored whole, like as the other. 
 
 14 IT Then ' the Pharisees went out, and || held a 
 council against him, how they might destroy him. 
 
 15 But when Jesus knew it,, m ne withdrew him 
 self from thence: "and great multitudes loilowed 
 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 Esaias the prophet, saying, 
 
 18 p 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 shall shew 
 judgment to the Gentiles. 
 
 19 He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall 
 any man hear his A r oice in the streets. 
 
 20 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smok- 
 ing flax shall he not quench, till he send forth 
 judgment unto victory. 
 
 21 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust. 
 
 22 If r Then was brought unto him one possessed 
 with a devil, blind and dumb; and he healed binx, 
 
 
how shall then his kingdom stand? 
 
 out devils, by 
 out ? therefore 
 
 ')/ blasphemy against the Holy Ghost. 
 
 jisomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and 
 saw. 
 
 23 And all the people were amazed, and said, Is 
 not this the son of David ? 
 
 24 'But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, 
 This felloio doth not cast out devils, but by t Beel- 
 zebub the prince of the devils. 
 
 25 And Jesus 'knew their thoughts, and said 
 unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself, is 
 brought to desolation; and every city or house di- 
 vided against itself, shall not stand. 
 
 26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided 
 against himself 
 
 27 And if I by Beelzebub cast 
 whom do your children cast them 
 they shall be your judges. 
 
 ^8 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, 
 then "the kingdom of God is come unto you. 
 
 29 *Or else, how can one enter into a strong 
 man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind 
 the strong man? and then ne will spoil his house. 
 
 30 He that is not with me, is against me; and he 
 that gathereth not with me, scattereth abroad. 
 
 31 H Wherefore I say unto you, y All manner of 
 sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: z but 
 the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be 
 forgiven unto men. 
 
 32 And whosoever "speaketh a word against the 
 Son of man, 6 it shall be forgiven him: but whoso- 
 ever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not 
 be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the 
 world to come. 
 
 33 Either make the tree good, and c his fruit 
 good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit 
 corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. 
 
 34 ^generation of vipers, how can ye, being 
 evil, speak good things? 'for out of the abundance 
 of the heart, the mouth speaketh. 
 
 35 A good man, out of the good treasure of the 
 heart, bringeth forth good things : and an evil man, 
 out of the evil treasure, bringeth forth evil things. 
 
 36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that 
 men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in 
 the day of judgment. 
 
 a ( For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and 
 by thy words thou shalt be condemned. 
 
 38 II-Then certain of the scribes and of the 
 Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a 
 sign from thee. 
 
 39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil 
 and ff adulterous generation seeketh after a sign, and 
 there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of 
 the prophet Jonas. 
 
 40 A For as Jonas was three days and three nights 
 in the whale's belly: so shall the Son of man be 
 three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. 
 
 41 'The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment 
 with this generation, and k shall condemn it: 'because 
 Ihey repented at the preaching of Jonas; and 
 behold, a greater than Jonas is here. 
 
 42 m The queen of the south shall rise up in the 
 judgment with this generation, and shall condemn 
 it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the 
 earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, 
 a greater than Solomon is here. 
 
 43 "When the unclean spirit is gone out of a 
 man, *he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, 
 «md findeth none

 44 Then he saith, I will return into my house

 man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be .also 
 unto this wicked generation. 
 
 46 H While he yet talked to the people, 'behold,

 to speak with him. 
 
 47 Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother 
 and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak 
 with thee. 
 
 48 But he answered and said unto him that told 
 him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? 
 
 49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his 
 disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my 
 brethren ! 
 
 50 For 'whosoever shall do the will of my Father 
 which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and 
 sister, and mother. 
 
 CHAP. XIII. 
 
 3 Of the sower and the seed. 10 Why Christ spake in parables. 18 Th» 
 exposition of the parable of the sower. 24 Divers other parables, $c. 
 
 rPHE same day went Jesus out of the house, "and 
 J- sat by the sea side. 
 
 2 A And great multitudes were gathered together 
 unto him, so that c he went into a ship, and sat; and 
 the whole multitude stood on the shore. 
 
 3 And he spake many things unto them in para* 
 bles, saying, d Behold, a sower went forth to sow; 
 
 4 And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way- 
 side, and the fowls came and devoured them up : 
 
 5 Some fell upon stony places, where they had 
 not much earth : and forthwith they sprung up, be- 
 cause they had no deepness of earth. 
 
 6 And when the sun was up, they were scorched , 
 and because they had no root the}' withered away. 
 
 7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns 
 sprung up, and choked them : 
 
 8 But other fell into good ground, and brought 
 forth fruit, some e an hundred-fold, some sixty-fold, 
 some thirty-fold. 
 
 9 -nVho hath ears to hear, let him hear. 
 
 10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, 
 Why speakest thou unto them in parables ? 
 
 11 He answered and said unto them, Because *it 
 is given unto you to know the mysteries of the 
 kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. 
 
 12 ''For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and 
 he shall have more abundance : but whosoever hath 
 not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. 
 
 13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: be- 
 cause they seeing, see not; and hearing, they hear 
 not; neither do they understand. 
 
 14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of 
 Esaias, which saith, 'By hearing ye shall hear, and 
 shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and 
 shall not perceive : 
 
 15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, ana 
 their ears *are dull of hearing, and their eyes they 
 have closed; lest at any time they should see with 
 their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should un- 
 derstand with their heart, and should be converted, 
 and I should heal them. 
 
 16 But 'blessed are your eyes, for they see: and 
 your ears, for they hear. 
 
 687 
 
Exposition of the parable of the soivcr. S T 
 
 17 For verily I say unto you, m That many pro- 
 phets and righteous men have desired to see those 
 things which ye see, and have not seen them; and 
 to hear those things which ye hear, and have not 
 heard them. 
 
 18 II" Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower 
 
 19 When any one heareth the word 'of the king- 
 dom, and understandeth$ not, thencometh the wicked 
 one, and catch eth away that which was sown in his 
 heart. This is he which received seed by the way-side 
 
 20 But he that received the seed into stony places, 
 the same is he that heareth the word, and anon ''with 
 joy receiveth it; 
 
 21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for 
 a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth 
 because of the word, by and b}'" 'he is offended. 
 
 22 r He also that received seed 'among the thorns 
 is he that heareth the word; and the care of this 
 world, and the deceitfulness of riches choke the 
 word, and he becometh unfruitful. 
 
 23 But he that received seed into the good ground 
 is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; 
 which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an 
 hundred-fold, some sixty, some thirty. 
 
 24 H Another parable put he forth unto them, say- 
 ing, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man 
 which sowed good seed in his field : 
 
 25 But while men slept, his enemy came and 
 sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. 
 
 26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought 
 forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. 
 
 27 So the servants of the householder came and 
 said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in 
 thy field ? from whence then hath it tares ? 
 
 28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. 
 The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we 
 go and gather them up ? 
 
 29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the 
 tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 
 
 30 Let both grow together until the harvest : and 
 in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather 
 ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles 
 to burn them: but 'gather the wheat into my barn. 
 
 31 U Another parable put he forth unto them, 
 saying, "The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain 
 of muFtard-seed, which a man took, and sowed in his 
 field: 
 
 32 Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but 
 when, it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, 
 and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air 
 come and lodge in the branches thereof. 
 
 33 II x Another parable spake he unto them; The 
 kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a 
 woman took, and hid in three f measures of meal, 
 till the whole was leavened. 
 
 34 ^All these things spake Jesus unto the multi- 
 tude in parables; and without a parable spake he 
 mt unto 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 which have been kept 
 secret from the foundation of the world. 
 
 36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and 
 went into the house: and his disciples came unto 
 him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares 
 of the field. 
 
 37 He answered and said unto them, He that 
 bow eth the good seed is the Son of man:

 38 'The field is the world; the good seed are tho 
 children of the kingdom; but the tares are c the chil- 
 dren 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 shall it be in the end of this world. 
 
 41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels 
 'and they shall gather out of his kingdom all || things 
 that offend, and them which do iniquity; 
 
 42 -/"And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: 
 * there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 
 
 43 A Then shall the righteous shine forth as the 
 sun in the kingdom of their Father. 'Who hath 
 ears to hear, let him hear. 
 
 44 H Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto 
 treasure hid in a field ; the which when a man hath 
 found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and 
 *selleth all that he hath, and 'buyeth that field. 
 
 45 IT Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto 
 a merchant-man seeking goodly pearls : 
 
 46 Who, when he had found m one pearl of great 
 price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it. 
 
 47 II Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto 
 a net, that was cast into the sea, and "gathered of 
 every kind : 
 
 48 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore,

 but cast the bad away. 
 
 49 So shall it be at the end of the world : the 
 angels shall come forth, and "sever the wicked from 
 among the just, 
 
 50 ^And shall cast them into the furnace of fire:

 51 Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood 
 all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord. 
 
 52 Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe 
 whicJi is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven, is 
 like unto a man that is an householder, which bring- 
 eth forth out of his treasure 9 things new and old. 
 
 53 TIAnd it came to pass, that when Jesus ha<? 
 finished these parables, he departed thence. 
 
 54 r Andwhenhe was come into his own country, 
 he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that 
 they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this 
 man this wisdom, and these mighty works ? 
 
 55 'Is not this the carpenter's son? is not 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 this man all these things ? 
 
 57 And they ^ were offended in him. But Jesus 
 said unto them, y A prophet is not without honour, 
 save in his own country, and in his own house. 
 
 58 And z he did not many mighty works there,

 1 Herod's opinion of Christ. 3 John Baptist beheaded. 15 Five thou- 
 sand fed, §c. 
 
 AT that time ° Herod the tetrarch heard of the 
 fame of Jesus, 
 
 2 And said unto his servants, This is John the 
 Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore 
 mighty works || do shew forth themselves in him. 
 
 3 VFor Herod had laid hold on John, and bound 
 him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, hi? 
 brother Philip's wife. 
 
Jvhn Baptist beheaded. 
 
 4 For John said unto him, c It is not lawful for 
 thee to have her. 
 
 5 And when he would have put him to death, he 
 feared the multitude, d because they counted him as 
 a prophet. 
 
 6 But when Herod's birth-day was kept, the 
 daughter of Herodias danced f before them, and 
 pleased Herod, 
 
 7 Whereupon he promised with an oath to give 
 her whatsoever she would ask. 
 
 8 And she, being before instructed of her mother, 
 said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger. 
 
 9 And the king was sorry : nevertheless for the 
 math's sake, and them which sat with him at meat, 
 he commanded it to be given her. 
 
 10 And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison. 
 
 11 And his head was brought in a charger, and 
 given to the damsel : and she brought it to her 
 mother. 
 
 12 And his disciples came, and took up the body, 
 and buried it, and went and told Jesus. 
 
 13 H c When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence 
 by ship into a desert place apart : and when the 
 people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot 
 out of the cities. 
 
 14 And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multi- 
 tude, and Avas moved with compassion toward them, 
 and he healed their sick. 
 
 15 If^And when it was evening, his disciples came 
 to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time 
 is now past ; send the multitude away, that they may 
 go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals. 
 
 16 But Jesus said unto them, They need not 
 depart; give ye them to eat. 
 
 17 And they say unto him, We have here but 
 five loaves, and two fishes. 
 
 18 He said, Bring them hither to me. 
 
 19 And he commanded the multitude to sit down 
 on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two 
 fishes, and looking up to heaven, A he blessed, and 
 brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the 
 disciples to the multitude. 
 
 20 And they did all eat, and were filled : and 
 they took up of the fragments that remained twelve 
 baskets full. 
 
 21 And they that had eaten were about five 
 thousand men, beside women and children. 
 
 22 HAnd straightway Jesus constrained his disci- 
 ples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto 
 the other side, while he sent the multitudes away. 
 
 23 'And when he had sent the multitudes away, 
 he went up into a mountain apart to pray; *and 
 when the evening was come, he was there alone. 
 
 24 But the ship was now in the midst of the 
 sea, tossed with waves : for the wind was contrary. 
 
 25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus 
 went unto them, walking on the sea. 
 
 26 And when the disciples saw him 'walking on 
 the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit ; 
 and they cried out for fear. 
 
 27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, say- 
 mg, Be of good cheer ; it is I ; be not afraid. 
 
 28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it 
 be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. 
 
 29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was 
 come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, 
 to go to Jesus.

 31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth hi*

 of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? 
 
 32 And when they were come into the ship, the 
 wind ceased. 
 
 33 Then they that were in the ship came and 
 worshipped him, saying, Of a truth '"tnou art the 
 Son of God.

 into the land of Gennesaret. 
 
 35 And when the men of that place had knowledge 
 of him, they sent out into all that country round 
 about, and brought unto him all that were diseased;

 1 Of God's commandments, and men's traditions. 10 Christ she""*h what 
 defileth a man. 30 He healeth great multitudes, Sec 
 
 THEN "came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, 
 which were of Jerusalem, saying, 
 
 2 * Why do thy disciples transgress c the tradition 
 of the elders ? for they wash not their hands when 
 they eat bread. 
 
 3 But he answered and said unto them, Wh} r do 
 ye also transgress the commandment of God by 
 your tradition ? 
 
 4 For God commanded, saying, ''Honour thy 
 father and mother: and, 'He that curseth father or 
 mother, let him die the death. 
 
 5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father 
 or his mother, J 'It is a gift, by whatsoever thou 
 mightest be profited by me ; 
 
 6 And honour not his father or his mother, he 
 shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment 
 of God of none effect by your tradition. 
 
 7 8 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of 
 you, saying, 
 
 8 A This people draweth nigh unto me with their 
 mouth, and honoureth me with their lips ; but their 
 heart is far from me. 
 
 9 But in vain they do worship me, 'teaching for 
 doctrines the commandments of men. 
 
 10 IP And he called the multitude, and said unto 
 them, Hear, and understand : 
 
 11 'Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth 
 a man ; but that which cometh out of the mouth, 
 this defileth a man. 
 
 12 Then came his disciples, and said unto him, 
 Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended 
 after they heard 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 be blind leaders of the 
 blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall 
 fall into the ditch. 
 
 15 "Then answered Peter and said unto him. 
 Declare unto us this parable. 
 
 16 And Jesus said, ^Are ye also yet without 
 understanding ? 
 
 17 Do not ye yet understand, that 'whatsoever 
 entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and 
 is cast out into the draught ? 
 
 18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth 
 ,;ome forth from the heart: and they defile the man. 
 
Four thousand fed. S T 
 
 19 'For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts,' 
 murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false wit-j 
 ness, blasphemies : 
 
 20 These are the things which defile a man : but 
 to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man. ^ 
 
 21 IT' Then Jesus went thence, and departed into 
 the coasts of Tyre <tnd Sidon. 
 
 22 And behold, a woman of Canaan came out of 
 the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have 
 mercy on me, Lord, thou son of David ; my daugh- 
 ter is grievously vexed with a devil. 
 
 23 But he answered her not a word. And his 
 disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her 
 away ; for she crieth after us. 
 
 24 But he answered and said, "I am not sent but 
 unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 
 
 25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, 
 Lord, help me. 
 
 26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to 
 take the children's bread and to cast it to x dogs. 
 
 27 And she said, Truth, Lord : yet the dogs eat 
 of the crumbs which fall from their master's table. 
 
 28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, 
 woman, great is thy faith : be it unto thee even as 
 thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from 
 that very hour. 
 
 29 y A.nd Jesus departed from thence, and came 
 nigh *unto the sea of Galilee; and went up unto a 
 mountain, and sat down there. 
 
 30 "And great multitudes came unto him, having 
 with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, 
 and many others, and cast them down at Jesus' feet; 
 and he healed them : 
 
 31 Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when 
 they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be 
 whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see : and 
 they glorified the God of Israel. 
 
 o2 IP Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and 
 said, I have compassion on the multitude, because 
 they continue with me now three days, and have 
 nothing to eat: and I will not send them away 
 fasting, lest they faint in the way. 
 
 33 'And his disciples say unto him, Whence 
 should we have so much bread in the wilderness, 
 as to fill so great a multitude ? 
 
 34 And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves 
 have ye ? And they said, Seven, and afew little fishes. 
 
 35 And he commanded the multitude to sit down 
 on the ground. 
 
 36 And d he took the seven loaves and the fishes, 
 and 'gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his 
 disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. 
 
 37 And they did all eat, and were filled: and 
 they took up of the broken meat that was left seven 
 baskets full. 
 
 38 And they that did eat were four thousand 
 men, beside women and children. 
 
 39 •'And he sent away the multitude, and took 
 ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala.

 M A T T H E W. Christ foresheweth his death 
 
 to-day : for the sky is red and lowering. yt 
 hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but 
 can ye not discern the signs of the times? 
 
 4 ''A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh 
 after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto 
 it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left 
 them, and departed. 
 
 5 And c when his disciples were come to the othei 
 side, they had forgotten to take bread. 
 
 6 11 Then Jesus said unto them, c 'Take heed and 
 beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the 
 Sadducees. 
 
 7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying 
 It is because we have taken no bread. 
 
 8 Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, 
 ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, 
 because ye have brought no bread ? 
 
 9 'Do ye not yet understand, neither remember 
 the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many 
 baskets ye took up ? 
 
 10 •'Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, 
 and how many baskets ye took up ? 
 
 11 How is it that ye do not understand that I spake 
 it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware 
 of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees? 
 
 12 Then understood they how that he bade them 
 not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doc- 
 trine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. 
 
 13 II When Jesus came unto the coasts of Cesarea 
 Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, g Whom do 
 men say that I, the Son of man, am ? 
 
 14 And they said, * Some say that thou art John 
 the Baptist : some, Elias ; and others, Jeremias, or 
 one of the prophets. 
 
 15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am ? 
 
 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, 'Thou 
 art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 
 
 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed 
 art thou, Simon Bar-jona : *for flesh and blood hath 
 not revealed it unto thee, but 'my Fathei which is 
 in heaven. 
 
 18 And I say also unto thee, That m thou art Peter, 
 and "upon this rock 1 will build my church : and "the 
 gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 
 
 19 ''And I will give unto thee the keys of the king- 
 dom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on 
 earth, shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever 
 thou shalt loose on earth, shall be loosed in heaven. 
 
 20 q Then charged he his disciples that they should 
 tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ. 
 
 21 IT From that time forth began Jesus r to shew 
 unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jeru 
 salem, and suffer many things of the elders, and 
 chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and be 
 raised again the third day. 
 
 22 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke 
 him, saying, \ Be it far from thee, Lord : this shall 
 not be unto thee. 
 
 23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee 
 behind me, 'Satan; 'thou art an offence unto me: 
 for thou savourest not the things that be of God, 
 but those that be of men. 
 
 24 H u Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any 
 man will come after me, let him deny himself, and 
 take up his cross, and follow me. 
 
 25 For * whosoever will save his life, shall lose 
 it : and whosoever will lose his life for my sake 
 
 i shall find it.

 1 The transfiguration of Christ. 14 He healeth the lunatic. 24 He 
 
 payeth tribute. 
 
 AND "after six days, Jesus taketh Peter, James, 
 and John his brother, and bringeth them up 
 into an high mountain apart, 
 
 2 And was transfigured before them : and his face 
 did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as 
 the light. 
 
 3 And behold, there appeared unto them Moses 
 and Elias talking with him. 
 
 4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, 
 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 Elias. 
 
 5 'While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud 
 overshadowed them: and behold, a voice out of the 
 cloud, which said, 'This is my beloved Son, ''in whom 
 I am well pleased: "hear ye him. 
 
 6 •'And when the disciples heard it, they fell on 
 their face, and were sore afraid. 
 
 7 And Jesus came and g touched them, and said, 
 Arise, and be not afraid. 
 
 8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they 
 eaw no man, save Jesus only. 
 
 9 And as they came down from the mountain, 
 *Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no 
 man, until, the Son of man be risen again from the 
 dead. 
 
 10 And his disciples asked him, saying, 'Why 
 then say the scribes, that Elias must first come? 
 
 11 And Jesus answered and said unto them, 
 Elias truly shall first come, and * restore all things: 
 
 12 ' But I say unto you, that Elias is come already, 
 and they knew him not, but ""have done unto him 
 whatsoever they listed : likewise " shall also the Son 
 of man suffer of them. 
 
 13 • Then the disciples understood that he spake 
 unto them of John the Baptist. 
 
 14 IF 7 ' And when they were come to the multitude, 
 there came to him a certain man kneeling down to 
 him, and saying, 
 
 15 Lord, have mercy on my son; for he is lunatic, 
 and sore vexed, for oft-times he falleth into the fire, 
 and oft into the water. 
 
 16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they 
 could not cure him. 
 
 17 Then Jesus answered and said, faithless 
 and perverse generation, how long; .shall 1 be with 
 you? how long shall I suffer you? Bring him hither 
 to me. 
 
 18 And Jesus rebuked the devil, and he departed 
 out of him : and the child was cured from that very 
 hour. 
 
 19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and 
 said, Why could not we cast him out? 
 
 20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your 
 unbelief: for verily I say unto you, ? If ye have faith 
 as a grain of mustard-seed, ve shall sav unto this

 1 Christ teacheth to be humble. 7 Touching offences, 21 and forgiving 
 
 one another. 
 
 AT "the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, 
 saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdoni of 
 heaven ? 
 
 2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and 
 set him in the midst of them, 
 
 3 And said, Verily I say unto you, 'Except ye 
 be converted, and become as little children, ye shall 
 not enter into the kingdom of heaven. 
 
 4 'Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as 
 this little child 
 of heaven. 
 
 5 And whoso ''shall receive one such little child in 
 my name, receiveth me. 
 
 6 'But, whoso shall offend one of these little ones 
 which believe in me, it were better for him that a 
 millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he 
 were drowned in the depth of the sea. 
 
 7 IT Wo unto the world because of offences! for 
 •/"it must needs be that offences come; but *wo to 
 that man by whom the offence cometh ! 
 
 8 * Wherefore, if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, 
 cut them off, and cast them from thee ; it is better 
 for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather 
 than having two hands or two feet, to be ca=t into 
 everlasting fire. 
 
 9 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and 
 cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into 
 life with one eye, rather 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 unto you, That in heaven 'their 
 angels do always * behold the face of my Father 
 which 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 an hundred 
 sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not 
 leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the moun- 
 tains, and seeketh that which is gone astray? 
 
 13 And if so be that he find it, verilv I say unto 
 
 6W1 
 
Of forgiving one another. 
 
 ST. MATTHEW. 
 
 Of divorcement and marriage 
 
 you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep than of the 
 ninety and nine which went not astray. 
 
 14 Even so it is not the will of your Father which 
 is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish. 
 
 1 5 IF Moreover," if thy brother shall trespass against 
 thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him 
 alone : if he shall 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 shall neglect to hear them, tell it 
 
 to hear the 
 
 an ? heathen man 
 
 neglect 
 as 
 
 unto the church: but if he 
 cnurch, let him be unto thee 
 and a publican. 
 
 18 Verily 1 say unto you, r Whatsoever ye shall 
 bind on earth, shall be bound in heaA^en: and what- 
 soever ye shall loose on earth, shall be loosed in 
 heaven. 
 
 19 'Again I say unto you, That if two of you 
 shall agree on earth, as touching any thing that 
 they shall ask, 'it shall be done for them of my 
 Father which is in heaven. 
 
 20 For where two or three are gathered together 
 in my name, there am I in the midst of them. 
 
 21 IF Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, 
 how oft shall my brother sin against me, and 1 for- 
 give him ? " till seven times ? 
 
 22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, 
 Until seven times : x but, Until seventy times seven. 
 
 23 II Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened 
 unto a certain king which would take account of 
 his servants. 
 
 24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was 
 Drought unto him which owed him ten thousand 
 || talents. 
 
 25 But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord 
 commanded him ^to be sold, and his wife and chil- 
 dren, and all that he had, and payment to be made. 
 
 26 The servant therefore fell down, and || wor- 
 shipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, 
 and 1 will pay thee all. 
 
 27 Then the lord of that servant was moved 
 with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him 
 the debt. 
 
 28 But the same servant went nut, and found 
 one of his fellow-servants, which owed him an hun- 
 dred || pence : and he laid hands ou him, and took 
 him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest. 
 
 29 And his fellow-servant fell down at his feet, 
 and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, 
 and 1 will pay thee all. 
 
 30 And he would not: but went and cast him into 
 prison, till he should pay the debt. 
 
 31 So when his fellow-servants saw what was 
 done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto 
 their lord all that was done. 
 
 32 Then his lord, after that he had called him, 
 said unto him, thou wicked servant, 1 forgave 
 thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me. 
 
 33 Shouldest not thou also have had compassion 
 on thy fellow-servant, even as I had pity on thee ? 
 
 34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to 
 the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due 
 unto him. 
 
 35 l So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also 
 unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every 
 one his brother their trespasses.

 1 Chriii healeth the sick. 3 He answereth the Pharisee) touching divorce 
 mr.nt. 16 He instrucleth how to attain everlasting life, $c. 
 
 AND it came to pass, "that when Jesus had fin 
 ished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, 
 and came into the coasts of Judea, beyond Jordan: 
 
 2 *And great multitudes followed him, and he 
 healed them there. 
 
 3 H The Pharisees also came unto him tempting 
 him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to 
 put away his wife for every cause? 
 
 4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye 
 not read, 'that he which made them at the begin- 
 ning, made them male and female, 
 
 5 And said, ''For this cause shaU a man leave 
 father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife : and 
 'they twain shall be one flesh? 
 
 6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one 
 flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, 
 let not man put asunder. 
 
 7 They say unto him, / Why did Moses then 
 command to give a writing of divorcement, and to 
 put her away? 
 
 8 He saith unto them, Moses, because of the hard- 
 ness of your hearts, suffered you to put away }'our 
 wives : but from the beginning it was not so. 
 
 9 s And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away 
 his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry 
 another, committeth adultery : and whoso marrieth 
 her which is put away, doth commit adultery. 
 
 10 H His disciples say unto him, h If the case ol the 
 man be so with his wife, it is not good to marr} . 
 
 11 But he said unto them, ' All men cannot receive 
 this saying, save they to whom it is given. 
 
 12 For there are some eunuchs, which we e so 
 born from their mother's womb : and there are aome 
 eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men. and 
 * there be eunuchs, which have made them: elves 
 eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. H o that 
 is able to receive it, let him receive it. 
 
 13 IF Then were there brought unto him little 
 children, that he should put his hands on then., and 
 pray: and the disciples rebuked them. 
 
 14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and foi- 
 bid them not, to come unto me:' for m of such is the 
 kingdom of heaven. 
 
 15 And he laid his hands on them, and departed 
 thence. 
 
 16 U n And behold, one came and said unto him 
 "Good Master, what good thing shall I do that J 
 may have eternal life? 
 
 J7 And he said unto him, Why callest thou mo 
 good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but 
 if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. 
 
 18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesu3 said, p Thou 
 shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adul 
 tery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false 
 witness, 
 
 19 'Honour thy father and thy mother: and, 
 r Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 
 
 20 The young man saith unto him, All these things 
 have I kept from my youth up: what lack 1 yet? 
 
 21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, 
 'go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, 
 and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come 
 and follow me. 
 
 22 But when the young man heard that sayinjr. he 
 went away sorrowful : for he had great possession*

 23 II" Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I 
 say unto you, That 'a rich man shall hardly enter 
 into the kingdom of heaven. 
 
 24 And again I say unto you, 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. 
 
 25 When his disciples heard it, they were exceed- 
 ingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? 
 
 26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, 
 With men this is impossible, but "with God all 
 things are possible. 
 
 27 If x Then answered Peter, and said unto him, 
 Behold, "we have forsaken all, and followed thee; 
 what shall we have therefore ? 
 
 28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto 
 you, That, ye which have followed me in the regen- 
 eration, v hen the Son of man shall sit in the throne 
 of his glory, z ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, 
 judging trie twelve tribes of Israel. 
 
 29 "And every one that hath forsaken houses, or 
 brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or 
 children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive 
 an hundred-fold, and shall inherit everlasting life. 
 
 30 *But many that are first shall be last, and the 
 last shall be first. 
 
 CHAP. XX. 
 
 Of the labourers in the vineyard, fyc. 
 
 I70R the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man 
 - that is an householder, which went out early in 
 the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard. 
 
 2 And when he had agreed with the labourers for 
 & || penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. 
 
 3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw 
 others standing idle in the market-place, 
 
 4 And said unto them, Go ye also into the vine- 
 yard ; and whatsoever is right, I will give you. And 
 they went their way. 
 
 5 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth 
 hour, and did likewise. 
 
 6 And about the eleventh hour he went out, and 
 found others standing idle, and saith unto them, 
 Why stand ye here all the day idle? 
 
 7 They say unto him, Because no man hath hired 
 us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vine- 
 yard ; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive. 
 
 8 So when even was come, the lord of the vine- 
 yard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and 
 give the.m their hire, beginning from the last unto 
 the first. 
 
 9 And when they came that were hired about the 
 eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. 
 
 10 But when the first came, they supposed that 
 they should have received more; and they likewise 
 received every man a penny. 
 
 11 And when they had received it, they mur- 
 mured against the good man of the house, 
 
 12 Saying, These last || have wrought but one hour, 
 and thou hast made - them equal unto us, which have 
 borne the burden and heat of the day. 
 
 13 But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, 
 I do thee no wrong : didst not thou agree with me 
 for a penny? 
 
 14 Take that thine is, and go thy way : I will give 
 unto this last, even as unto thee. 
 
 15 "Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with 
 mine own? *is thine eye evil because I am good ? 
 
 16 e So the last shall be first, and the first kst: 
 *for many be called, but few chosen.

 17 H'And Jesus going up to Jerusalem, took the 
 twelve disciples apart in tne way, and said unto them, 
 
 18 -^Behold we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son 
 of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests, and 
 unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death, 
 
 19 'And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, 
 and to scourge, and to crucify him: and the third 
 day he shall rise again. 
 
 20 II'' Then came to him the mother of 'Zebedee'a 
 children, with her sons, worshipping him, and desir 
 ing a certain thing of him. 
 
 21 And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She 
 saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons *may 
 sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the 
 left, in thy kingdom. 
 
 22 But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not 
 what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of 'the cup that 
 I shall drink of, and to be baptized with m the bap- 
 tism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, 
 We are able. 
 
 23 And he saith unto them, "Ye shall drink indeed 
 of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I 
 am baptized with : but to sit on my right hand, and 
 on my left, is not mine to "give, but it shall be given 
 to them for whom it is prepared of my Father. 
 
 24 ; 'And when the ten heard it, they were moved 
 with indignation against the two brethren. 
 
 25 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye 
 know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise 
 dominion over them, and they that are great exer- 
 cise authority upon them. 
 
 26 But 'it shall not be so among you : but 'whosoev- 
 er will be great among you, let him be your minister; 
 
 27 'And whosoever will be chief among you, let 
 him be your servant. 
 
 28 'Even as the "Son of man came not to be min- 
 istered unto, ,r but to minister, and y to give his life a 
 ransom x for many. 
 
 29 "And as they departed from Jericho, a great 
 multitude followed him. 
 
 30 HAnd behold, 6 two blind men sitting by the 
 way-side, when they heard that Jesus passed by, 
 cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou 
 son of David. 
 
 31 And the multitude rebuked them, because they 
 should hold their peace : but the}' cried the more, say- 
 ing, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of David. 
 
 32 And Jesus stood still, and called them, and 
 said, What will ye that I shall do unto you? 
 
 33 They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may 
 be opened. 
 
 34 So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched 
 their eyes: and immediately their eyes received 
 sight, and they followed him.

 manded them. 
 
 7 And brought the ass and the colt, and 'put on 
 them their clothes, and they set him thereon 
 
 8 And a very great multitude spread their gar- 
 ments in the way; •''others cut down branches from 
 the trees, and strewed them in the way. 
 
 9 And the multitudes that went before, and that 
 followed, cried, saying, A 'Hosanna to the Son of 
 David : ''Blessed is he that cometh in the name of 
 the Lord 
 
 10 And when he was 
 the city was moved 
 
 11 And the multitude said, This is Jesus *the 
 prophet of Nazareth of Galilee. 
 
 12 H And Jesus went into the temple of God, and 
 cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, 
 and overthrew the tables of the '"money-changers, 
 and the seats of them that sold doves, 
 
 13 And said unto them, It is written, "My house 
 shall be called the house of prayer, J but ye have 
 made it a den of thieves. 
 
 14 And the blind and the lame came to him in 
 the temple ; and he healed them. 
 
 15 And when the chief priests and scribes saw 
 the wonderful things that he did, and the children 
 crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the 
 Son of David ; they were sore displeased, 
 
 16 And said unto him, Hearest thou what these 
 Jay? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea : have ye 
 jiever read, ^Out of the mouth of babes and suck- 
 lings thou hast perfected praise ? 
 
 17 IT And he left them, and went out of the city 
 into 'Bethany, and he lodged there. 
 
 18 r Now in the morning, as he returned into the 
 city, he hungered. 
 
 19 'And when he saw a f fig-tree in the way, he came 
 to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and 
 eaid unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward 
 for ever. And presently the fig-tree withered away. 
 
 20 And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, 
 saying, How soon is the fig-tree withered away ! 
 
 21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I 
 say unto you, "If ye have faith, and •'"doubt not, ye 
 shall not only do this which is done to the fig-tree, "but 
 also, if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou re- 
 moved, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. 
 
 22 And z all things whatsoever ye shall ask in 
 prayer, believing, ye shall receive. 
 
 23 1T a And when he was come into the temple, the 
 chief priests and the elders of the people came unto 
 him as he was teaching, and *said, By what authority 
 doest thou these things ? and who gave thee this 
 authority ? 
 
 24 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also 
 will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise 
 will tell you by what authority I do these things. 
 
 25 The baptism of John, whence was it? from 
 heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with them- 
 selves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven ; he 
 will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him? 
 
 26 But if we shall say, Of men ; we fear the peo- 
 ple : f for all hold John as a prophet. 
 
 27 And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot 
 tell. And he said unto them, Neither tell I you by 
 what authority I do these things.

 work to-day in my vine} r ard. 
 
 29 He answered and said, ] will not: but after- 
 ward he repented, and went. 
 
 30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. 
 And he answered and said, I go, sir : and went not. 
 
 31 Whether of them twain did the will of his fa- 
 ther? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto 
 them, e Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and 
 the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. 
 
 32 For ■'' John came unto you in the way of right- 
 eousness, and ye believed him not: ^but'the publi- 
 cans and the harlots believed him; and ye, when ye 
 had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might 
 believe him. 
 
 33 "ilHear another parable; There was a certain 
 householder, * which planted a vineyard, and hedged 
 it round about, and digged a wine-press in it, and 
 built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and 
 ' went into a far country. 
 
 34 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he 
 sent his servants to the husbandmen, *that they 
 might receive the fruits of it. 
 
 35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and 
 beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. 
 
 36 Again he sent other servants more than the 
 first : and they did unto them likewise. . 
 
 37 But last of all, he sent unto them his son, 
 saying, They will reverence my son. 
 
 38 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they 
 said among themselves, '"This is the heir; "come, let 
 us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance. 
 
 39 "And they caught him, and cast him out of 
 the vineyard, and slew him. 
 
 40 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh 
 what will he do unto those husbandmen ? 
 
 41 ^They say unto him, «He will miserably de- 
 stroy those wicked men, 'and will let out his vine- 
 yard unto other husbandmen, which shall render 
 him the fruits in their seasons. 
 
 42 Jesus saith unto them, 'Did ye never read in 
 the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, 
 the same is become the head of the corner : this is 
 the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes ? 
 
 43 Therefore say I unto you, 'The kingdom of 
 God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation 
 bringing forth the fruits thereof. 
 
 44 And whosoever "shall fall on this stone, shall 
 be broken : but on whomsoever it shall fall, ^it will 
 grind him to powder. 
 
 45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had 
 heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of 
 them. 
 
 46 But when they sought to lay hands on him, 
 the}' - feared the multitude, because Hhey took him 
 for a prophet.

 1 The marriage of the king's son. 9 The calling of the Gentiles. 11 Tht 
 wedding garment. 21 Tribute ought to be paid to Cesar. 23 Christ 
 silencelh the Sadducees. 
 
 AND Jesus answered "and spake unto them again 
 by parables, and said, 
 
 2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain 
 king, which made a marriage for his son, 
 
 3 And sent forth his servants to call them that were 
 bidden to the wedding : and they would not come.

Of paying tribute. 
 
 them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my 
 dinner: *my oxen and mij failings are killed, and 
 all things are ready: come unto the marriage. 
 
 5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, 
 one to his farm, another to his merchandise. 
 
 6 And the remnant took his servants, and en- 
 treated them spitefully, and slew them. 
 
 7 But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth : 
 and he sent forth c his armies, and destroyed those 
 murderers, and burned up their city. 
 
 8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is 
 ready, but they which were bidden, were not ''worthy. 
 
 9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many 
 as ye shall find, bid to the marriage. 
 
 10 So those servants went out into the highways, 
 find 'gathered together all as many as they found, 
 hoth bad and good : and the wedding was furnished 
 with guests. 
 
 11 IFAnd when the king came in to see the 
 guests, he saw there a man s which had not on a 
 wedding-garment: 
 
 12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how earnest 
 thou in hither, not- having a wedding-garment? 
 And he was speechless. 
 
 13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him 
 
 and cast him 
 weeping and 
 
 hand and foot, and take him away, 
 r into outer darkness: there shall be 
 gnashing of teeth. 
 
 14 A For many are called, but few are chosen. 
 
 15 II 'Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel 
 bow the} r might entangle him in his talk. 
 
 16 And they sent out unto him their disciples, 
 with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that 
 f bou. art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, 
 neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest 
 not the person of men 
 
 17 Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it 
 lawful to give tribute unto Cesar, or not? 
 
 18 But uesus perceived their wickedness, and 
 said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? 
 
 19 Shew me the tribute-money. And they 
 brought unto him a || penny. 
 
 20 And he saith unto them, Whose is this image, 
 and || superscription ? 
 
 21 They say unto him, Cesar's. Then saith he unto 
 them, * Render therefore unto Cesar, the things which 
 are Cesar's: and unto God, the things that are God's. 
 
 /'2 When they had heard these words, they mar- 
 velled, and left him, and went their way. 
 
 23 If 'The same day came to him the Sadducees, 
 "which say that there is no resurrection, and asked 
 him, 
 
 24 Saying, Master, "Moses said, If a man die, 
 having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, 
 and raise up seed unto his brother. 
 
 25 Now there were with us seven brethren : and 
 the first, when he had married a wife, deceased; 
 and having no issue, left his wife unto his brother. 
 
 26 Likewise the second also, and the third, unto 
 the | seventh. 
 
 27 And last of all the woman died also.' 
 Is8 Therefore in the resurrection, whose wife shall 
 
 she be of the seven? for they all had her. 
 
 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, 
 not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. 
 
 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, 
 nor are given in marriage, but ^are as the angels of 
 God in heaven. 
 
 C II AT. XXI II. C7iri.it confuteth the Pharisees 
 
 31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, 
 have ye not read that which was spoken unto you b v 
 God, saying, 
 
 32 v 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. 
 
 83 And when the multitude heard this, r they were 
 astonished at his doctrine. 
 
 34 If* But when the Pharisees had heard that he 
 had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered 
 together. 
 
 35 Then one of them which was f a lawyer, asked 
 him a question, tempting him, and saying, 
 
 36 Master, which is the great commandment in 
 the law? 
 
 37 Jesus said unto him, "Thou shalt love the 
 Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thv 
 soul, and with all thy mind. 
 
 38 This is the first and great commandment. 
 
 39 And the second is like unto it, 'Thou shalt 
 love thy neighbour as thyself. 
 
 40 y Oa these two commandments hang all the 
 law and the prophets. 
 
 41 *P While the Pharisees were gathered together, 
 Jesus asked them, 
 
 42 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son 
 is he? They say unto him, The son of David. 
 
 43 He saith unto them, How then doth David in 
 spirit call him Lord, saying, 
 
 44 "The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my 
 right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? 
 
 45 If David then call him Lord, how is he his son ? 
 
 46 *And no man was able to answer him a word, 
 e neither durst any man, from that day forth, ask him 
 any more questions. 
 
 CHAP. XXIII. 
 
 1 Of the scribes and Pharisees' good doctrine, but evil example* of life. 
 34 The destruction of Jerusalem foretold. 
 
 THEN spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his 
 disciples, 
 
 2 Saying, ° The scribes and the Pharisees sit in 
 Moses' seat: 
 
 3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, 
 that observe and do : but do not ye after their works : 
 for Hhey say, and do not. 
 
 4 c For they bind heavy burdens, and grievous to be 
 borne, and lay them on men's shoulders ; but they them- 
 selves will not move them with one of their fingers 
 
 5 But d all their works they do for to be seen ot 
 men: 'they make broad their phylacteries, and en- 
 large the borders of their garments, 
 
 6 -^And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and 
 the chief seats in the synagogues, 
 
 7 And greetings in the markets, and to be called 
 of men, Rabbi, Rabbi. 
 
 8 *But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is } r our 
 Master, even Christ ; and all ye are brethren. 
 
 9 And call no man your father upon the earth : 
 A for one is your Father, which is in heaven. 
 
 10 Neither be ye called masters : for one is your 
 Master, even Christ. 
 
 11 But 'he that is greatest among } r ou, shall be 
 your servant. 
 
 12 *And whosoever shall exalt himself, shall be 
 abased ; and he that shall humble himself, shall be 
 exalted. 
 
 13 IF But 'wo unto you, scribes and Pharisees, 
 hypocrites ! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven

 against men: for ye neither go in //ourselves, neither

 pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall 
 receive the greater damnation. 
 
 15 Wo unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypo-

 proselyte; and when he is made, ye make him two- 
 fold more the child of hell than yourselves. 
 
 16 Wo unto you, n ye blind guides! which say, 
 Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; 
 
 but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, 
 he is a debtor 
 
 17 Ye fools, and blind ! for whether is greater, the

 is upon it, he is || guilty.

 the law, judgment, mercy, and faith : these ought ye 
 to have done, and not to leave the other undone. 
 
 24 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and 
 swallow a camel. 
 
 25 Wo unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypo- 
 crites! x for ye make clean the outside of the cup 
 and of the platter, but within they are full of extor- 
 tion and excess. 
 
 26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which 
 is within the cup and platter, that the outside of 
 them may be clean also. 
 
 27 Wo unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypo- 
 crites ! y for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which 
 indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full 
 of dead mens bones, and of all uncleanness. 
 
 28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous 
 unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and 
 iniquity. 
 
 29 z Wo unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypo- 
 crites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, 
 and garnish the sepulchres 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 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, 
 that "ye are the children of them which killed the 
 prophets. 
 
 32 * Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers. 
 
 33 Ye serpents, ye c generation of vipers, how can 
 ye escape the damnation of hell? 
 
 34 If J Wherefore, behold, I send unto you pro- 
 phets, and wise men, and scribes; and 'some of them 
 ye shall kill, and crucify, and f some of them shall ye 
 scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from 
 city to city:

 blood shed upon the earth, ''from the blood of righteous

 1 Christ foretelhth the destruction of the temple; 3 what shall happen at h<i 
 coming. 36 As no man knoweth the day, we ouyht to watch, $c. 
 
 AND "Jesus went out, and departed from the 
 temple: and his disciples came to him for to 
 shew him the buildings of the temple. 
 
 2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these 
 things? verily I say unto you, * There shall net be 
 left here one stone upon another, that shall not he 
 thrown down. 
 
 < 3 irAnd as he sat upon the mount of Olives, c the 
 disciples came unto him privately, saying, d Tell us, 
 when shall these things be? and what shall be the 
 sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? 
 
 4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, 'Take 
 heed that no man deceive you. 
 
 5 For / many shall come in my name, saying, I 
 am Christ; ff and shall deceive many. 
 
 6 And ye shall hear of wars, and rumours of 
 wars : see that ye be not troubled : for all these things 
 must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 
 
 7 For ''nation shall rise against nation, and king- 
 dom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, 
 and pestilences, and earthquakes in divers places. 
 
 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. 
 
 9 'Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, 
 and shall kill you : and ye shall be hated of all nar 
 tions for my name's sake. 
 
 10 And then shall many *be offended, and shall 
 betray one another, and shall hate one another. 
 
 11 And 'many false prophets shall rise, and '' shall 
 deceive many. 
 
 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love 
 of many shall wax cold. 
 
 13 "But he that shall endure unto the end, the 
 same shall be saved. 
 
 14 And this "gospel of the kingdom p shall be 
 preached in all the world, for a witness untu .all na- 
 tions; and then shall the end come. 
 
 15 'When ye, therefore, shall see the abomination 
 of desolation, spoken of by r Daniel the prophet, stand 
 in the holy place, ('whoso readeth, let him under- 
 stand,) 
 
 16 Then let them which be in Judea flee into the 
 mountains : 
 
 17 Let him which is on the house-top not come 
 down to take any thing out of his house : 
 
 18 Neither let him which is in the field return 
 back to take his clothes. 
 
 19 And 'wo unto them that are with child, and 
 to them that give suck in those days ! 
 
 20 But pray ye that your flight be not in I Vie 
 winter, neither on the sabbath-day: 
 
 21 For 'then shall be great tribulation, sucb w 
 
Of Christ's coming to Judgment. 
 
 WA3 not since the beginning of the world to this 
 time, no, nor ever shall be. 
 
 22 And except those days should be shortened, 
 there should no flesh be saved: ''but for the elect's 
 sake those days shall be shortened. 
 
 23 y Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, 
 here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 
 
 24 For 'there shall arise false Christs, and false 
 prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; 
 insomuch that, "if it were possible, they shall de- 
 ceive rhe very elect. 
 
 25 Behold, I have told you before. ; " 
 
 26 Wherefore, if they shall say unto you, Be- 
 hold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he 
 is in the secret chambers; believe it not. 
 
 27 *For as the lightning cometh out of the east, 
 and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the 
 coming of the Son of man be. 
 
 28 c For wheresoever the carcass is, there will 
 the eagles be gathered together. 
 
 29 If d Immediately after the tribulation of those 
 days, 'shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall 
 not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, 
 and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 
 
 30 f And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man 
 in heaven : *and then shall all the tribes of "the earth 
 mourn, *and they shall see the Son of man coming 
 in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 
 
 31 'And he shall send his angels || with a great 
 sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together 
 his elect from the four winds, from one end of 
 heaven to the other. 
 
 32 Now learn * a parable of the fig-tree; When 
 his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, 
 ye know that summer is nigh : 
 
 33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these 
 things, know 'that || it is near, even at the doors. 
 
 34 Verily I say unto you, m This generation shall 
 not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. 
 
 35 "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my 
 words shall not pass away. 
 
 36 If* But of that day and hour knoweth no man, 
 no, not the angels of heaven, p but my Father only. 
 
 37 Bat as the days of Noe were, so shall also the 
 coming of the Son of man be. 
 
 38 'For as in the days that were before the flood, 
 they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in 
 marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark. 
 
 39 And knew not until the flood came, and took 
 them all away : so shall also the coming of the Son 
 of man be. 
 
 40 r Then shall two be in the field; the one shall 
 be taken, and the other left. 
 
 41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the 
 one shall be taken, and the other left. 
 
 42 If* Watch therefore; for ye know not what 
 hour your Lord doth come. 
 
 43 'But know this, that if the good man 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 up. 
 
 44 "Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an 
 hour as ye think not, the Son of man cometh. 
 
 45 'Who then is a faithful and wise servant, 
 whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, 
 to give them meat in due season? 
 
 46 *' Blessed is that servant, whom his lord, when 
 he cometh, shall find so doing.

 CHAP. XXV. 
 
 1 The parable of the ten virgins; 14 of the talents, and the reward to thoitt 
 ■who improved them. 31 Of the last judgment. 
 
 THEN shall the kingdom of heaven be likened 
 unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and 
 went forth to meet "the bridegroom. 
 
 2 4 And five of them were wise, and five were 
 foolish. 
 
 3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and 
 took no oil with them : 
 
 4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their 
 lamps. 
 
 5 While the bridegroom tarried, c they all slum- 
 bered and slept. 
 
 6 And at midnight d there was a cry made, Behold, 
 the bridegroom cometh ; go ye out to meet him. 
 
 7 Then all those virgins arose, and 'trimmed 
 their lamps. 
 
 8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of 
 your oil : for our lamps are || gone out. 
 
 9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest 
 there be not enough for us and you: but go ye 
 rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 
 
 10 And while thej^ went to buy, the bridegroom 
 came; and they that were ready, went in with him 
 to the marriage : and J the door was shut. 
 
 11 Afterward came also the other virgins, say- 
 ing, *Lord, Lord, open to us. 
 
 12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto 
 } r ou, A I know you not. 
 
 13 'Watch therefore, for ye know neither the 
 day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh. 
 
 14 If* For the kingdom of heaven is 'as a man 
 travelling into a far country, who called his own 
 servants, and delivered unto them his goods. 
 
 15 And unto one he gave five || talents, to an- 
 other two, and to another one; '"to every man ac- 
 cording -to his several ability; and straightway took 
 his journey. 
 
 16 Then he that had received the five tnients, 
 went and traded with the same, and made them othei 
 five talents. 
 
 17 And likewise he that had received two, he also 
 gained other two. 
 
 18 But he that had received one, went and 
 digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money. 
 
 19 After a long time the lord of those servants 
 cometh, and reckoneth with them. 
 
 20 And so he that had received five talents, came 
 and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou 
 deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have 
 gained besides them five talents more. 
 
 21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good 
 and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a 
 few things, "I will make thee ruler over many things : 
 enter thou into 'the joy of thy lord. 
 
 697 
 
The last judgment is described. 
 
 ST. MATTHEW 
 
 The rulers conspire against Christ 
 
 22 He also that had received two talents came, and 
 said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two takmts : 
 behold, I have gained two other talents besides them. 
 
 23 His lord said unto him, p Well done, good and 
 faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few 
 things, I will make thee ruler over many things: 
 enter thou inio the joy of thy lord. 
 
 24 Then he which had received the one talent 
 came, and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an 
 hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and 
 gathering where thou hast not strewed : 
 
 25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent 
 in the earth : lo, there thou hast that is thine. 
 
 26 His lord answered and said unto him, Thou 
 wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I 
 reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have 
 not strewed : 
 
 27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money 
 to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should 
 have received mine own with usury. 
 
 28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give 
 it unto him which hath ten talents. 
 
 29 'For unto every one that hath shall be given, 
 and he shall have abundance : but from him that hath 
 not, shall be taken away even that which he hath. 
 
 30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant r into 
 outer darkness : there shall be weeping and gnash- 
 ing of teeth. 
 
 31 IF 'When the Son of man shall come in his 
 
 glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall 
 e sit upon the throne of his glory : 
 
 32 And 'before him shall be gathered all nations : 
 and "he shall separate them one from another, as a 
 shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats : 
 
 33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, 
 but the goats on the left. 
 
 34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right 
 hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, x inherit the 
 kingdom y prepared for you from the foundation of 
 the world : 
 
 35 z For I was an hungered, and ye gave me 
 meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: "I was 
 a stranger, and ye took me in: 
 
 36 6 Naked, and ye clothed me : I was sick, and ye 
 visited me : e I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 
 
 37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, 
 Lord, when saw we thee an hungered, 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 prison, and 
 came unto thee? 
 
 40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, 
 Verily I say unto you, ''Inasmuch as ye have done 
 it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye 
 have done it unto me. 
 
 41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left 
 hand, 'Depart from me, ye cursed, -/into everlasting 
 fire, prepared for £ the devil and his angels : 
 
 42 For I was an hungered, and ye gave me no 
 meat: 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 shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, 
 when saw we thee an hungered, or athirst, or a stran- 
 ger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not min- 
 ister unto thee?

 3 The rulers conspire against Christ. 14 Judas sellelh him. 17 Chmi 
 eateth the passover. 
 
 AND it came to pass, when Jesus had finished 
 all these sayings, he said unto his disciples, 
 
 2 °Ye kn ow that after two days is the feast oftha pass- 
 over, and uie Son of man is betrayed to be crucified. 
 
 3 *Then assembled together the chief priests, and 
 the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the 
 palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas, 
 
 4 And consulted that they might take Jesus by 
 subtilty, and kill him. 
 
 5 But they said, Not on the feast-cfa^, lest there 
 be an uproar among the people. 
 
 6 II c Now when Jesus was in ''Bethany, in the 
 house of Simon the leper, 
 
 7 There came unto him a woman having an ala- 
 baster-box of very precious ointment, and poured 
 it on his head as he sat at meat. 
 
 8 f But when his disciples saw it, they had indig- 
 nation, saying, To what purpose is this waste? 
 
 9 For this ointment might have been sold for 
 much, and given to the poor. 
 
 10 When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, 
 Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought 
 a good work upon me. 
 
 11 ■''For ye nave the poor always with you; but 
 s me ye have not always. 
 
 12 For in that she hath poured this ointment on 
 my body, she did it for my burial. 
 
 13 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gos- 
 pel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall 
 also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a 
 memorial of her. 
 
 14 IP Then one of the twelve, called 'Judas lsca- 
 riot, went unto the chief priests, 
 
 15 And said unto them, *What will ye give me, 
 and I will deliver him unto you? And they cove- 
 nanted with him for thirty pieces of silver. 
 
 16 And from that time he sought opportunity to 
 betray him. 
 
 17 H'Now the first day of the feast of unleavened 
 bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, 
 Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat 
 the passover? 
 
 18 And he said, Go into the city to such a man, 
 and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at 
 hand ; I will keep the passover at thy house with 
 my disciples. 
 
 19 And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed 
 them; and they made ready the passover. 
 
 20 m Now when the even was come, he sat down 
 with the twelve. 
 
 21 And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say 
 unto you, that one of you shall betray me. 
 
 22 And they were exceeding sorrowful, and begin 
 every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it if 
 
 23 And he answered and said, " He that dippeth his 
 hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me 
 
 24 The Son of man goeth, "as it is written of 
 him: but 'wo unto that man by whom the Son of 
 man is betrayed! it had been good for that man 
 if he had not been born

 chap. xxvi. 
 
 He is betrayed by Judas. 
 
 25 Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered 
 and said, Master, is it I? lie said unto him, Thou 
 hast said. 
 
 26 IP And as they were eating, r Jesus took bread, 
 and || blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the dis- 
 ciples, and said, Take, eat; 'this is my body. 
 
 27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and 
 gave it to them, saying, 'Drink ye all of it; 
 
 28 For "this is my blood ■'"of the new testament, 
 which is shed y for many for the remission of sins. 
 
 29 But z l say unto you, I will not drink hence- 
 forth of this fruit of the vine, " until that day when 
 I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom. 
 
 30 'And when they had sung ?,n || hymn, they 
 went out into the mount of Olives. 
 
 31 Then saith Jesus unto them, e All ye shall ''be 
 offended because of me this night: for it is written, 
 e I will smite the Shepherd, and the sheep of the 
 flock shall be scattered abroad. 
 
 32 But after I am risen again, SI will go before 
 you into Galilee. 
 
 33 Peter answered and said unto him, Though 
 all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will 1 
 never be offended. 
 
 34 Jesus said unto him, s Verily I say unto thee, 
 That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt 
 deny me thrice. 
 
 35 Peter said unto him, Though I should die with 
 thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said 
 all the disciples. 
 
 36 "PThen cometh Jesus with them unto a place 
 called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit 
 ye her j, while I go and pray yonder. 
 
 37 And he took with him Peter, and 'the two 
 
 sons of Zebedee, and 
 
 began 
 
 to be sorrowful and 
 
 very heavy. 
 
 38 Then saith he unto them, * My soul is exceed- 
 ing sorrowful, even unto death : tarry ye here, and 
 watch with me. 
 
 39 And he went a little further, and fell on his 
 face, and 'prayed, saying, m O my Father, if it be 
 possible, "let this cup pass from me: nevertheless, 
 'not as I will, but as thou wilt. 
 
 40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth 
 Hiem asleep, and saith unto Peter, What ! could ye 
 not watch with me one hour? 
 
 41 p Watch and pray, that ye enter not into tempta- 
 tion : the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. 
 
 42 He went away again the second time, and pray- 
 ed, saying, my Father, if this cup may not pass 
 away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done. 
 
 43 And he came and found them asleep again: 
 for their eyes were heavy. 
 
 44 And he left them, and went away again, and 
 prayed the third time, saying the same words. 
 
 45 Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith 
 unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, 
 the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed 
 into the hands of sinners. 
 
 46 Rise, let us be going : behold, he is at hand 
 that doth betray me. 
 
 47 II And 'while he yet spake, 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 Now he that betrayed him, gave them a sign, 
 saying. Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; 
 hold him fast

 49 And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said. 
 Hail, Master; r and kissed him. 
 
 50 And Jesus said unto him, 'Friend, wherefore 
 art thou come ? Then came they, and laid hands 
 on Jesus, and took him. 
 
 51 And behold, 'one of them which were with 
 Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, 
 and struck a servant of the high priest, and smote 
 off his ear. 
 
 52 Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy 
 sword into his place: "for all they that take the 
 sword, shall perish with the sword. 
 
 53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my 
 Father, and he shall presently give me ^more than 
 twelve legions of angels? 
 
 54 But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, 
 y that thus it must be? 
 
 55 In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, 
 Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and 
 staves for to take me? I sat daily with you teaching 
 in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me. 
 
 56 But all this was done, that the z scriptures of 
 the prophets might be fulfilled. Then "all the 
 disciples forsook him, and fled. 
 
 57 IP And they that had laid hold on Jesus, led 
 him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the 
 scribes and the elders were assembled. 
 
 58 But Peter followed him afar off, unto the high 
 priest's palace, and went in, and sat with the servants 
 to see the end. 
 
 59 Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the 
 council sought false witness against Jesus, tc put 
 him to death; 
 
 60 But found none: yea, though 'many false 
 witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last 
 came ''two false witnesses, 
 
 61 And said, This fellow 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 unto him, 
 Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these 
 witness against thee? 
 
 63 But s Jesus held his peace. And the high 
 priest answered and said unto him, ''I adjure thee 
 by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou 
 be the Christ the son of God. 
 
 64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said : never- 
 theless, I say unto you, 'Hereafter shall ye see the 
 Son of man * sitting on the right hand of power, 
 and coming in the clouds of heaven. 
 
 65 'Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, 
 He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have 
 we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his 
 blasphemy. 
 
 66 What think ye? They answered and said, 
 '"He is guilty of death. 
 
 67 "Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted 
 him; and "others smote him with || the palms of their 
 hands, 
 
 68 Saying, p Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who 
 is he that smote thee? 
 
 69 II 7 Now Peter sat without in the palace: and 
 a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast 
 with Jesus of Galilee. 
 
 70 But he denied before them all, saying, I know 
 not what thou sayest. 
 
 71 And when he was gone out into the porch ; 
 another maid saw him, and said unto them that were 
 there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth. 
 
 6t» 
 
Judas hangeth himself. 
 
 72 And again he denied with an oath, I do not 
 know the man. 
 
 73 And after a while came nnto him they that 
 stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one 
 of them; for thy r speech be wrayeth thee. 
 
 74 Then 'began he to curse and to swear, saying, I 
 know not the man. And immediately the cock crew. 
 
 75 And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, 
 which said unto him, 'Before the cock crow, thou 
 shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept 
 bitterly. 
 
 CHAP. XXVII. 
 
 1 Christ delivered bound to Pilate. 3 Judas hangeth himself. 27 Christ 
 is mocked, 33 crucified, 39 and reviled. 51 The astonishing events 
 which attended his death, Qc. 
 
 WHEN the morning was come, "all the chief 
 priests and elders of the people took counsel 
 against Jesus to put him to death. 
 
 2 And when they had bound him, they led him 
 away, and 'delivered him to Pontius Pilate the 
 governor. 
 
 3 IF c Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when 
 he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, 
 and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the 
 chief priests and elders. 
 
 4 Saying, I have sinned in that I have beteiyed 
 the innocent blood. And they said, What is that 
 to us ? see thou to that. 
 
 5 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the 
 temple, ''and departed, and went and hanged himself. 
 
 6 And the chief priests took the silver pieces, 
 and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the 
 treasury, because it is the price of blood. 
 
 7 And they took counsel, and bought with them 
 the potter's field, to bury strangers in. 
 
 8 Wherefore that field was called, 'The field of 
 dood, unto this day. 
 
 9 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by 
 Jeremy the prophet, saying, •'And they took the 
 thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was val- 
 ued, || whom they of the children of Israel did value; 
 
 10 And gave them for the potter's field, as the 
 Lord appointed me. 
 
 11 And Jesus stood before the governor: *and 
 the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King 
 of the Jews ? And Jesus said unto him, A Thou sayest. 
 
 12 And when he was accused of the chief priests 
 and elders, 'he answered nothing. 
 
 13 Then saith Pilate unto him, *Hearest thou not 
 how many things they witness against thee? 
 
 14 And he answered him to never a Avord ; inso- 
 much that the governor marvelled greatly. 
 
 15 'Now at that feast, the governor was wont to 
 release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would. 
 
 16 And they had then a notable prisoner, called 
 Barabbas. 
 
 17 Therefore, when they were gathered together, 
 Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release 
 unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ? 
 
 18 (For he knew that for envy they had delivered 
 him.) 
 
 19 HWhen he was set down on the judgment- 
 seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou no- 
 thing to do with that just man : for I have suffered 
 many things this day in a dream, because of him. 
 
 20 m But the chief priests and elders persuaded 
 the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and 
 destroy Jesus.

 Christ is crucified. 
 
 21 The governor answered and said unto them, 
 Whether of the twain will ye that I release untr 
 you? They said, Barabbas. 
 
 22 Pilate saith unto them, What shall 1 do then 
 with Jesus, which is called Christ? They all say 
 unto him, Let him be crucified. 
 
 23 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath 
 he done ? But they cried out the more, saying, Let 
 him be crucified. 
 
 24 II When Pilate saw that he could prevail no- 
 thing, but that rather a tumult was made, he "took 
 water, and washed his hands before the multitude, 
 saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just per- 
 son : see ye to it. 
 
 25 Then answered all the people, and said, ■ His 
 blood be on us, and on our children. 
 
 26 II Then released he Barabbas unto them : and 
 when^he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to 
 be crucified. 
 
 27 'Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus 
 into the || common hall, and gathered unto him the 
 whole band of soldiers. 
 
 28 And they stripped him, and r put on him a 
 scarlet robe. 
 
 29 IP And when they had platted a crown of 
 thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his 
 right hand : and they bowed the knee before him, and 
 mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews ! 
 
 30 And 'they spit upon him, and took the reed, 
 and smote him on the head. 
 
 31 And after that they had mocked him, they 
 took the robe off from him, and put his own rai- 
 ment on him, "and led him away to crucify him. 
 
 32 'And as they came out, y they found a man of 
 Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to 
 bear his cross. 
 
 33 H* And when they wer e come unto a place called 
 Golgotha, that is, to say, A place of a skull, 
 
 34 "They gave him vinegar to drink, mingled 
 with gall : and when he had tasted thereof, he would 
 not drink. 
 
 35 *And they crucified him, and parted his gar- 
 ments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which 
 was spoken by the prophet; 'They parted my gar- 
 ments among them, and upon my vesture did they 
 cast lots. 
 
 36 d And sitting down, they watched him there: 
 
 37 And 'set up over his head his accusation, writ- 
 ten, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE 
 JEWS. 
 
 38 •'"Then were there two thieves crucified with 
 him : oae on the right hand, and another on the left. 
 
 39 HAnd *they that passed by, reviled him, 
 wagging their heads, 
 
 40 And saying, A Thou that destroyest the temple, 
 and buildest it in three days, save thyself. 'If thou 
 be the Son of God, come down from the cross. 
 
 41 Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, 
 with the scribes and elders, said, 
 
 42 He saved others; himself he cannot save. If 
 he be 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 will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God. 
 
 44 ' The thieves also which were crucified v> ith 
 him, cast the same in his teeth. 
 
 45 m Now from the sixth hour there Was darkness 
 over all the land unto the ninth hour. 
 
Cunsf's death and burial: 
 
 46 And about the ninth hour "Jesus cried with 
 a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? 
 that is to say, "My God, my God, why hast thou 
 forsaken me? 
 
 47 Some of them that stood there, when they 
 heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias. 
 
 48 And straightway one of them ran, and took 
 a sponge, p and filled it with vinegar, and put it on 
 a reed, and gave him to drink. 
 
 49 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether 
 Elias will come to save him. 
 
 50 U? Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud 
 voice, yielded up the ghost. 
 
 51 And behold, r the vail of the temple was rent 
 in twain from the top to the bottom: and the earth 
 did quake, and the rocks rent; 
 
 52 And the graves were opened, and many bo- 
 dies of the saints which slept, arose, 
 
 53 And came out of the graves after his resur- 
 rection, and went into the holy city, and appeared 
 unto many. 
 
 54 'Now when the centurion, and they that were 
 with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and 
 those things that were done, they feared greatly, 
 saying, Truly this was the Son of God. 
 
 55 And many women were there (beholding afar 
 off) 'which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering 
 unto him : 
 
 56 "Among which was Mary Magdalene, and 
 Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the 
 mother of Zebedee's children. 
 
 57 •'When the even was come, there came a rich 
 man of Arimafhea, named Joseph, who also himself 
 was Jesus' disciple : 
 
 58 He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. 
 Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. 
 
 59 And when Joseph had taken the body, he 
 wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, 
 
 60 And y laid it in his own new tomb, which he 
 had hewn out in the rock; and he rolled a great 
 stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed. 
 
 61 And there was Mary Magdalene, and the 
 other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre. 
 
 62 UNow the next day that followed the day of 
 the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came 
 together unto Pilate, 
 
 63 Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver 
 said, while he was yet alive, 'After three days I 
 will rise again. 
 
 64 Command therefore that the sepulchre be 
 made sure until the third day, lest his disciples 
 tome by night, and steal him away, and say unto 
 the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last 
 error shall be w 7 orse than the first. 
 
 65 Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go 
 your way, make it as sure as ye can. 
 
 66 So they went and made the sepulchre sure, 
 * sealing the stone, and setting a watch.

 1 Christ' x resurrection declared: 9 he uppea r elh lo the women, 16 ana it 
 his disciples, 18 and sendelh tliem to tench and baptize. 
 
 IN the "end of the sabbath, as it began to dawD 
 toward the first day of the week, came Mary 
 Magdalene, ''and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. 
 
 2 And behold, there || was a great earthquake: 
 for 'the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, 
 and came and rolled back the stone from the door, 
 and sat upon it. 
 
 3 ''His countenance was like lightning, and his 
 raiment white as snow. 
 
 4 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and 
 became as dead men. 
 
 5 And the angel answered and said unto the 
 women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek 
 Jesus, which was crucified. 
 
 6 He is not here : for he is risen, e as he saiu 
 Come, see the place where the Lord lay. 
 
 7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples, that h« 
 is risen from the dead, and behold, -^he goeth before 
 you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, 1 have 
 told you. 
 
 8 And they departed quickly from the sepulchre., 
 with fear and great j'03' ; and did run to bring hia 
 disciples word. 
 
 9 HAnd as they went to tell his disciples, behold, 
 * Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came, 
 and held him by the feet, and worshipped him. 
 
 10 Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go 
 tell *my brethren, that they go into Galilee, and 
 there shall they see me. 
 
 11 II Now when they were going, behold, some 
 of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto 
 the chief priests all the things that were done. 
 
 12 And when they were assembled with the 
 elders, and had taken counsel, they gave largo 
 money unto the soldiers, 
 
 13 Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, 
 and stole him aivay while we slept. 
 
 14 And if this come to the governor's ears, we 
 will persuade him, and secure you. 
 
 15 So they took the money, and did as they 
 were taught: and this saying is commonly reported 
 among the Jews until this day. 
 
 16 If Then the eleven disciples went away into 
 Galilee, into a mountain 'where Jesus had appointed 
 them. 
 
 17 And when they saw him, they worshipped 
 him : but some doubted. 
 
 18 And Jesus came, and spake unto them, saying, 
 k All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 
 
 19 H'Go ye therefore and m || teach all nations, 
 baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of 
 the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, 
 
 20 "Teaching them to observe all things whatso- 
 ever I have commanded you : and lo. I am with you 
 alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. * 
 
 The GOSPEL according to ST. MARK. 
 
 2 As it is written in the prophets, * Behold 1 send 
 my messenger before thy face, Avhich shall prepare 
 thy way before thee; 
 
 3 c The voice of one crying in the wilderness, 
 Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths 
 straight.

 Jesus is baptised. 
 
 4 d John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach 
 the baptism of repentance, || for the remission of sins. 
 
 5 "And there went out unto him all the land of 
 Judea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized 
 of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins. 
 
 6 And John was f clothed with camel's hair, and 
 with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did 
 eat ^locusts and wild honey; 
 
 7 And preached, saying/ There cometh one might- 
 ier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am 
 not worthy to stoop down and unloose. 
 
 8 'I indeed have baptized you with water : but he 
 shall baptize you * with the Holy Ghost. 
 
 9 'And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus 
 came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of 
 John in Jordan. 
 
 10 m And straightway coming up out of the water, 
 he saw the heavens || opened, and the Spirit like a 
 dove descending upon him. 
 
 11 And there came a voice from heaven, saying, 
 " Thou art my beloved Son, in whom 1 am well pleased. 
 
 12 "And immediately the Spirit driveth him into 
 the wilderness. 
 
 13 And he was there in the wilderness forty days 
 tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; 
 "and the angels ministered unto him. 
 
 14 ? Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus 
 came into Galilee, r preaching the gospel of the king- 
 dom of God. 
 
 15 And saying, 'The time is fulfilled, and 'the 
 kingdom of God is at hand : repent ye, and believe 
 the gospel. 
 
 16 "Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he 
 saw Simon, and Andrew his brother, casting a net 
 into the sea : for they were fishers. 
 
 17 And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, 
 and 1 will make you to become fishers of men. 
 
 18 And straightway x they forsook their nets, and 
 followed him. 
 
 19 y And when he had gone a little further thence, 
 he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his bro- 
 ther, who also were in the ship mending their nets. 
 
 20 And straightway he called them : and they 
 left their father Zebedee in the ship Avith the hired 
 servants, and went after him. 
 
 21 z And they went into Capernaum; and straight- 
 way on the sabbath-day he entered into the syna- 
 gogue and taught. 
 
 22 "And they were astonished at his doctrine : for 
 he taught them as one that had 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, Let us alone; c what have we to do 
 with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come 
 to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy 
 One of God. 
 
 25 And Jesus rf rebuked him, saying, Hold thy 
 peace, and come out of him. 
 
 'ZQ And when the unclean spirit 'had torn him, 
 and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him. 
 
 27 And they were all amazed, insomuch that they 
 questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is 
 this ? what new doctrine is this ? for with authority 
 commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they 
 do obey him. 
 
 28 And immediately his fame spread abroad 
 throughout all the region round about Galilee.

 29 •''And forthwith, when they were come out of 
 the s3 r nagogue, they entered into the house of Simon 
 and Andrew, with James and John. 
 
 30 But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever; 
 and anon they tell him of her. 
 
 31 And he came and took her by the hand, and 
 lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, 
 and she ministered unto them. 
 
 32*And at even when the sun did set, they brought 
 unto him all that were diseased, and them that were 
 possessed with devils. 
 
 33 And all the city was gathered together at the 
 door. 
 
 34 And he healed many that were sick of divers 
 diseases, and cast out many devils; and ''suffered 
 not the devils || to speak, because they knew him. 
 
 35 And 'in the morning, rising up a great while 
 before day, he went out and departed into a solitary 
 place, and there prayed. 
 
 36 And Simon, and they that were with him, 
 followed after him. 
 
 37 And when they had found him, they said 
 unto him, All men seek for thee. 
 
 38 And he said unto them, *Let us go into the 
 next towns, that I may preach there also: for 
 'therefore came I forth. 
 
 39 m And he preached in their synagogues through 
 out all Galilee, and cast out devils. 
 
 40 "And there came a leper to him, beseeching 
 him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto 
 him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. 
 
 41 And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth 
 his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I 
 will; be thou clean. 
 
 42 And as soon as he had spoken, immediately 
 the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed. 
 
 43 And. he straitly charged him, and forthwith 
 sent him away; 
 
 44 And saith unto him, See thou say nothing 
 to any man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the 
 priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things "which 
 Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. 
 
 45 p But he went out, and began to publish it much, 
 and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus 
 could no more openly enter into the city, but was 
 without in desert places : 'and they came to him from 
 every quarter.

 justifieth himself for eating with publicans and sinners, 18 excuselh hi* 
 disciples for not fasting, $c. 
 
 AND again "he entered into Capernaum, after 
 some days ; and it was noised that he was in 
 .the house. 
 
 2 And straightway many were gathered together, 
 insomuch that there was no room to receive them, 
 no, not so much as about the door ; and he preached 
 the word unto them. 
 
 3 And they come unto him, bringing one sick of 
 the palsy, which was borne of four. 
 
 4 And when they could not come nigh unto him 
 for the press,-they uncovered the roof where he was 
 and when they had broken it up, they let down the 
 bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay. 
 
 5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto tht> 
 sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee. 
 
 6 But there were certain of the scribes sitting 
 there, and reasoning in their hearts, 
 
Chrisi hcalcth the palsy. 
 
 7 Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? 
 who can forgive sins but God only? 
 
 8 And immediately j c when Jesus perceived in his 
 spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he 
 said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your 
 hearts ? 
 
 9 ''Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the 
 palsy, Tluj sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, 
 and take up thy bed, and walk? 
 
 10 But that ye may know that the Son of man 
 hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the 
 Bick of the palsy,) 
 
 111 say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, 
 and go thy way into thine house, 
 
 12 And immediately he aro.~e, took up the bed, 
 and went forth before them all; insomuch that they 
 were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never 
 saw it on this fashion. 
 
 13 e And he went forth again by the sea-side; and 
 all the multitude resorted unto him, and he taught 
 them. 
 
 14 -/"And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of 
 Alpheus, sitting || at the receipt of custom, and said 
 unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him. 
 
 15 g And it came to pass, that as Jesus sat at meat 
 hi his house, many publicans and sinners sat also 
 together with Jesus and his disciples; for there were 
 many, and they followed him. 
 
 16 And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him 
 eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his 
 disciples, How is it thatheeateth and drinketh with 
 publicans and sinners? 
 
 1 7 When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, * They 
 that are whole, have no need of the physician, but 
 they that are sick : I came not to call the righteous, 
 but sinners, to repentance. 
 
 18 'And the disciples of John, and of the Phari- 
 sees, used to fast and they come, and say unto him, 
 Why do the disciples of John, and of the Pharisees 
 fast, but thy disciples fast not? 
 
 19 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children 
 of the bride-chamber fast, while the bridegroom is 
 with them? As long as they have the bridegroom 
 with them, they cannot fast. 
 
 20 But the days will come, when the bridegroom 
 shall be taken away from them, and then shall they 
 fast in those days. 
 
 21 No man also seweth a piece of || new cloth on an 
 old garment: else the new piece that filled it up, 
 taketh away from the old, and the rent is made worse. 
 
 22 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles : 
 else the new wine doth burst the bottles, and the 
 wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred : but 
 new wine must be put into new bottles. 
 
 23 * And it came to pass that he went through the 
 corn-fields on the sabbath-day; and his disciples be- 
 gan, as they went, 'to pluck the ears of corn. 
 
 24 And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why 
 do they on the sabbath-day that which is not lawful? 
 
 25 And he said unto them, Have ye never read 
 •what David did, when he had need, and was an 
 
 hungered, he and they that were with him ? 
 
 2b' How he went into the house of God, in the 
 days of Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the 
 shew-bread, "which is not lawful to eat, but for the 
 priests, and gave also to them which were with him ? 
 
 27 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made 
 for man, and not man for the sabbath :

 28 Therefore, 'the Son of man is Lord also of the 
 sabbath. 
 
 CHAP. III. 
 
 1 Christ healeth the withered hand; 6 the Pharisees conspire his death, 
 13 he c/tooseth twelve apostles ; 22 he con/utelh the Pharisees' blatphe* 
 my, Sfc. 
 
 AND "he entered again into the synagogue; and 
 there was a man there which had a withered 
 hand. 
 
 2 And they watched him, whether he would heal 
 him on the sabbath-day; that the)' might accuse him. 
 
 3 And he saith unto the man which had the with 
 ered hand, f Stand forth. 
 
 4 And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good 
 on the sabbath-days, or to do evil? to save life, 01 
 to kill ? but they held their peace. 
 
 5 And when he had looked round about on them 
 with anger, being grieved for the || hardness of their 
 hearts, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine 
 hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was 
 restored whole as the other. 
 
 6 4 And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway 
 took counsel with 'the Herodians against him, how 
 they might destroy him. 
 
 7 But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples 
 to the sea : and a great multitude from Galilee fol- 
 lowed him, ''and from Judea, 
 
 8 And from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and from 
 beyond Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon, a 
 great multitude, when they had heard what great 
 things he did, came unto him. 
 
 9 And he spake to his disciples, that a small ship 
 should wait on him, because of the multitude, lest 
 they should throng him. 
 
 10 For he had healed many; insomuch that they 
 II pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had 
 plagues. 
 
 11 "And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell 
 down before him, and cried, saying, •'Thou art the 
 Son of God. 
 
 12 And s he straitly charged them, that they should 
 not make him known. 
 
 13 ''And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth 
 unto him whom he would: and they came unto him. 
 
 14 And he ordained twelve, that they should be 
 with him, and that he might send them forth to preach, 
 
 15 And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to 
 cast out devils. 
 
 16 And Simon 'he surnamed Peter. 
 
 17 And James the son of Zebedee, and John the 
 brother of James, (and he surnamed them, Boa- 
 nerges, wdiich is, The sons of thunder,) 
 
 18 And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, 
 and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of 
 Alpheus, and Thaddeus, and Simon the Canaanite, 
 
 19 And Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed him : 
 and they went || into an house. 
 
 20 And the multitude cometh together again, *so 
 that they could not so much as eat bread. 
 
 21 And when his || friends heard of it, they went out 
 to lay hold on him : ' for they said, He is beside himself. 
 
 22 II And the scribes which came down from Je- 
 rusalem, said, '"He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince 
 of the devils casteth he out devils. 
 
 23 "And he called them unto him, and said unto 
 them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan? 
 
 24 And if a kingdom be divided against itself, 
 that kingdom cannot stand. 
 
 (SOS 
 
ilie parable of the sower, 
 
 25 And if an house be divided against itself, that 
 house cannot stand. 
 
 26 And if Satan rise up against himself,~and be 
 divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
 
 27 *No man can enter into a strong man's house, 
 and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the 
 strong man; and then he will spoil his house. 
 
 28 ^Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be for- 
 given unto tne sons of men, and blasphemies where- 
 with soever they shall blaspheme : 
 
 29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy 
 Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of 
 eternal damnation : 
 
 30 Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit. 
 
 31 H* There came then his brethren and his mother, 
 and standing without, sent unto him, calling him. 
 
 32 And the multitude sat about him ; and they 
 said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren 
 without seek for thee. 
 
 33 And he answered them, saying, Who is my 
 mother, or my brethren ? 
 
 34 And he looked -round about on them which 
 sat about him, and said, Behold, my mother and my 
 brethren ! 
 
 35 For whosoever shall do the will of God, the 
 same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.

 1 The parable of the sower; 14 The meaning thereof. 26 Of the seed 
 growing secretly, Qc. 
 
 AND "he began again to teach by the sea-side: 
 and thwe was gathered unto him a great multi- 
 tude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea ; 
 and the whole multitude was by the sea, on the land. 
 
 2 And he taught them many things by parables, 
 and said unto them in his doctrine, 
 
 3 Hearken ; Behold, there went out a sower to sow. 
 
 4 And it came to pass as he sowed, some fell hy 
 the way-side, and the fowls of the air came and 
 devoured it up. 
 
 5 And some fell on stony ground, where it had 
 not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, 
 because it had no depth of earth : 
 
 6 But when the sun was up, it was scorched ; and 
 because it had no root, it withered away. 
 
 7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns 
 grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. 
 
 8 And other fell on good ground, c and did yield 
 fruit that sprang up, and increased, and brought forth, 
 some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred. 
 
 9 And he said unto them, He that hath ears to 
 hear, let him hear. 
 
 10 d And when he was alone, they that were about 
 him, with the twelve, asked of him the parable. 
 
 11 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given 
 to know the mystery of the kingdom of God : but 
 unto 'them that are without, all these things are 
 done in parables : 
 
 12 ■''That seeing they may see, and not perceive; 
 and hearing they may hoar, and not understand; 
 lest at any time they should be converted, and their 
 sins should be forgiven them. 
 
 13 And he said unto them, Know ye not this 
 parable? and how then will ye know all parables? 
 
 14 lUThe sower soweth the word. 
 
 15 And these are they by the way-side, where 
 the word is sown ; but when they have heard, Satan 
 cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that 
 was sown in their hearts.

 16 And these are they likewise which are sown

 endure but for a time : afterward, when affliction 
 or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, imme-

 21 IT 'And he said unto them, Is a candle brought 
 to be put under a || bushel, or under a bed ? and not 
 to be set on a candlestick? 
 
 22 *For there is nothing hid, which shall not be 
 manifested ; neither was any thing kept secret, but 
 that it should come abroad. 
 
 23 'If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. 
 
 24 And he said unto them, Take heed what ye 
 hear: "'With what measure ye mete, it shall be 
 measured to you: and unto you that hear, shall 
 more be given. 
 
 25 "For he that hath, to him shall be given: and 
 he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that 
 which he hath. 
 
 26 IT And he saidj "So is the kingdom of God, as 
 if a man should cast seed into the ground; 
 
 27 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the 
 seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. 
 
 28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; 
 first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn 
 in the ear. 
 
 29 But when the fruit is || brought forth, imme- 
 diately ''he putteth in the sickle, because the har- 
 vest is come. 
 
 30 H And he said, g Whereunto shall we liken the 
 kingdom of God? 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 
 that be in the earth : 
 
 32 But when it is sown, it groweth up, and be 
 cometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out 
 great branches; so that the fowls of the air may 
 lodge under the shadow of it. 
 
 33 r And with many such parables spake he the 
 word unto them, as they were able to hear it. 
 
 34 But without a parable spake he not unto them : 
 and when they were alone, he expounded all things 
 to his disciples. 
 
 35 J And the same day, when the even was come, he 
 saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side 
 
 36 And when they had sent away the multitude, 
 they took him even as he was in the ship. And 
 there were also with him other little ships. 
 
 37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and 
 the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. 
 
 38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, 
 asleep on a pillow : and they awake him, and say 
 unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish ? 
 
 39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said 
 unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, 
 and there was a great calm.

 wind and the sea obey him?

 AND "they came over unto the other side of the 
 sea, inro the country of the Gadarenes. 
 
 2 And when he was come out of the ship, im- 
 mediately there met him out of the tombs a man 
 with an unclean spirit, 
 
 3 Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and 
 no man could bind him, no, not with chains : 
 
 4 Because that he had been often bound with fet- 
 ters and chains, and the chains had been plucked 
 asunder b} r him, and the fetters broken in pieces : 
 neither could any man 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 when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and 
 worshipped him, 
 
 7 And cried with a loud voice, and said, What 
 have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the Most 
 High God? I adjure thee by God, that thou tor- 
 ment me not. 
 
 8 (For he said unto 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 away out of the country. 
 
 11 Now there was there nigh unto the mountains 
 a great herd of swine feeding. 
 
 12 And all the devils besought him, saying, Send 
 us into the swine, that we may enter into them. 
 
 13 And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And 
 the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the 
 swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep 
 place into the sea, (they were about two thousand,) 
 and were choked in the sea. 
 
 14 And they that fed the swine fled, and told it 
 in the city, and in the country. And they went 
 out to see what it was that was done. 
 
 15 And they come to Jesus, and see him that was 
 possessed with the devil,and had the legion, sitting,and 
 clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid. 
 
 16 And they that saw it, told them how it befell 
 io him that was possessed with the devil, and also 
 concerning the swine. 
 
 17 And ''they began to pray him to depart out 
 of their coasts. 
 
 18 And when he was come into the ship, f he 
 that had been possessed with the devil prayed him 
 that he might be with him. 
 
 19 ilowbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith 
 unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them 
 how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and 
 hath had compassion on thee. 
 
 20 And he departel, and began to publish in 
 Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him. 
 And all men did marvel. 
 
 21 "And when Jesus was passed over again by 
 ship unto the other side, much people gathered unto 
 him: an* 1 he was nigh unto the sea.

 Hie Moody issue healed 
 
 22 -And behold, there cometh one of the rulers 
 of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw 
 him, he fell at his feet, 
 
 23 And besought him greatly, saying, My litflo 
 daughter lieth at the point of death: J pray thee, 
 come and lay thy bands on her, that she may bo 
 healed; and she shall live. 
 
 24 And Jesus went with him; and much people 
 followed him, and thronged him. 
 
 25 And a certain woman y which had an issue of 
 blood twelve years, 
 
 26 And had suffered many things of many phy- 
 sicians, and had spent all that she had, and was 
 nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, 
 
 27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in tne 
 press behind, and touched his garment: 
 
 28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, 
 I shall be whole. 
 
 29 And straightway the fountain of her blood 
 was dried up; and she felt in her body that she whs 
 healed of that plague. 
 
 30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself 
 that* virtue had gone out of him, turned him about 
 in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes? 
 
 31 And his diseiples said unto him, Thou seest 
 the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who 
 touched me? 
 
 32 And he looked round about to see her that 
 had done this thing. 
 
 33 But the woman, fearing and trembling, know- 
 ing what was done in her, came and fell down before 
 him, and told him all the truth. 
 
 34 And he said unto her, Daughter, A thy faith 
 hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole 
 of thy plague. 
 
 35 'While he yet spake, there came from the 
 ruler of the synagogues house certain which said, 
 Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Mas- 
 ter any further? 
 
 36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was 
 spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, 
 Be not afraid, only believe. 
 
 37 And he suffered no man to follow him, save 
 Peter, and James, and John the brother of James. 
 
 38 And he cometh to the house of the ruler of 
 the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that 
 wept and wailed greatly. 
 
 39 And when he was come in, he saith unto 
 them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the dam- 
 sel is not dead, but *sleepeth. 
 
 40 And they laughed him to scorn. 'But when 
 he had put them all out, he taketh the father and 
 the mother of the damsel, and them that were with 
 him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying. 
 
 41 And he took the damsel by the hand, and 
 said unto her, Talitha-cumi : which is, being inter- 
 preted, Damsel, (I say unto thee) arise. 
 
 42 And straightway the damsel arose, and walked ; 
 for she was of the age of twelve years. And they 
 were astonished with a great astonishment. 
 
 43 And '"he charged them straitly that no man 
 should know it; and commanded that something 
 should be given her to eat.

Divers opinions concerning Christ. 
 
 2 And when the sabbath-daj was come, he began 
 to teach in the synagogue : and many hearing him 
 were astonished, saying, 'From whence hath this 
 man these things? and what wisdom is this which 
 is given unto him, that even such mighty works are 
 wrought by his hands? 
 
 3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, c the 
 brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon ? 
 and are not his sisters here with us? And thev 
 *~ere offended at him. 
 
 4 But Jesus said unto them, 'A prophet is not 
 without honour, but in his own country, and among 
 his own kin, and in his own house. 
 
 5 ■'And he could there do no mighty work, aave 
 that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and 
 healed them. 
 
 6 And *he marvelled because of their unbelief. 
 *And he went round about the villages teaching;. 
 
 7 IF' And he called unto him the twelve, and began 
 to send them forth by two and two ; and gave them 
 power over unclean spirits ; 
 
 8 And commanded them that the}' should take 
 lothing for their journey, save a staff only; no scrip, 
 no bread, no || money in their purse : 
 
 9 But * be shod with sandals ; and not put on two 
 coats. 
 
 10 'And he said unto them, In what place soever 
 ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart 
 from that place. 
 
 11 m And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear 
 you, when ye depart thence, "shake off the dust under 
 your feet, for a testimony against them. Verily I say 
 unto you, It shall be more tolei*able for Sodom f and 
 Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city. 
 
 12 And they went out, and preached that men 
 should repent. 
 
 13 And they cast out many devils, "and anointed 
 with oil many that were sick, and healed them. 
 
 14 ''And king Herod heard of him, (for his name 
 was spread abroad,) and he said, That John the 
 Baptist was risen from the dead, and therefore 
 mighty works do shew forth themselves in him. 
 
 15 '' Others said, That it is Elias. And others said, 
 That it is a prophet, or as one of the prophets. 
 
 16 r But when Herod heard thereof, he said, It is 
 John, whom I beheaded : he is risen from the dead. 
 
 17 For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold 
 upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias' 
 sake, his brother Philip's wife : for he had married her. 
 
 18 For John had said unto Herod, 'It is not lawful 
 for thee to have thy brother's wife. 
 
 19 Therefore Herodias had || a quarrel against 
 him, and would have killed him; but she could not: 
 
 20 For Herod 'feared John, knowing that he was 
 a just man and an holy, and || observed him : and 
 when he heard him, he did many things, and heard 
 him gladly. 
 
 21 "And when a convenient day was come, that 
 Herod 'on his birth-day made a supper to his lords, 
 aigh captains, and chief estates of Galilee; 
 
 22 And when the daughter of the said Herodias 
 came in, and danced, and pleased Herod, and them 
 that sat with him, the king said unto the damsel, Ask 
 of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee. 
 
 23 And he sware unto her, y Whatsoever thou shalt 
 aek of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my 
 kingd )m.

 25 And she came in straightway with hast? unto 
 the king, and asked, saying, 1 will that thou give me,

 26 "And the king was exceeding sorry; yet for 
 his oath's sake, and for their sakes whicn sat with 
 him, he would not reject her. 
 
 27 And immediately the king sent || an execution- 
 er, and commanded his head to be brought: and he 
 went and beheaded him in the prison; 
 
 28 And brought his head in a charger, and gave 
 it to the damsel; and the damsel gave it to her 
 mother. 
 
 29 And when his disciples heard of it, they came 
 and took up his corpse, and laid in a tomb. 
 
 30 "And the apostles gathered themselves togethei 
 unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they 
 had done, and what they had taught. 
 
 31 6 And he said unto them, Come ye yoursehes 
 apart into a desert place, and rest awhile: for 'there 
 were many coming and going, and they had no 
 leisure so much as to eat. 
 
 32 d And they departed into a desert place by ship 
 privately. 
 
 33 And the people saw them departing, and many 
 knew him, and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and 
 outwent them, and came together unto him. 
 
 34 e And Jesus, when he came out, saw much peo~ 
 pie, and was moved with compasssion toward them, 
 because they Avere as sheep not having a shepherd : 
 and •'he began to teach them many things. 
 
 35 *And when the day was now far spent, his 
 disciples came unto him, and said, This is a desert 
 place, and now the time is far passed : 
 
 36 Send then away, that they may go into the 
 country round about, and into the villages, and buy 
 themselves bread : for they have nothing to eat. 
 
 37 He answered and said unto them, Give ye 
 them to eat. And they say unto him, ''Shall we go 
 and buy two hundred || pennyworth of bread and 
 give them to eat? 
 
 38 He saith unto them, How many loaves have 
 ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, 
 'Five, and two fishes. 
 
 39 And he commanded them to make all sit down 
 by companies upon the green grass. 
 
 40 And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, 
 and by fifties. 
 
 41 And when he had taken the five loaves and 
 the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, *and blessed, 
 and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples 
 to set before them; and the two fishes divided he 
 among them all. 
 
 42 And they did all eat, and were filled. 
 
 43 And they took up twelve baskets full of the 
 fragments, and of the fishes. 
 
 44 And they that did eat of the loaves, were 
 about five thousand men. 
 
 45 'And straightway he constrained his disciples 
 to get into the ship, and to go to the other side be- 
 fore || unto Bethsaida, while he sent away the people. 
 
 46 And when he had sent them away, he departed 
 into a mountain to pray. 
 
 47 "'And when even was come, the ship was in 
 the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land. 
 
 48 And he saw them toiling in rowing ; for the wind 
 was contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch 
 
Of men's traditions. 
 
 ot the night he cometh unto them, walking upon the 
 sea. and "would have passed hy them. 
 
 49 But when they saw him walking upon the 
 sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out. 
 
 50 (For they all saw him and were troubled.) 
 And immediately he talked with them, and saith 
 ;nito tnem, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. 
 
 51 And he went up unto them into the ship; and 
 the wind ceased : and they were sore amazed in 
 themselves beyond measure, and wondered. 
 
 52 For "they considered not the miracle of the 
 loaves; for their ''heart was hardened. 
 
 53 'And when they had passed over, they came 
 into the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore. 
 
 54 And when they were come out of the ship, 
 straightway they knew him, 
 
 55 And ran through that whole region round 
 about, and began to carry about in beds those that 
 were sick, where they heard he was. 
 
 56 And whithersoever he entered, into villages, 
 or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the 
 streets, and besought him that 'they might touch, if 
 it were but the border of his garment: and as many 
 as touched || him, were made whole.

 The Pharisees find fault with the disciples for rating with unwashen hands, c$"c. 
 
 THEN "came together unto him the Pharisees, 
 and certain of the scribes, which came from 
 Jerusalem. 
 
 2 And when they saw some of his disciples eat 
 bread with || defiled (that is to say, with unwashen) 
 hands, they found fault. 
 
 3 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except 
 they wash their hands || oft, eat not, holding the tra- 
 dition of the elders. 
 
 4 And when the?/ come from the market, except they 
 wash, they eat not. And many other things there 
 be, which they have received to hold, as the washing 
 of cups and If pots, and brazen vessels, and || tables. 
 
 5 'Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why 
 walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of 
 the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands? 
 
 6 He answered and said unto them, Well hath 
 Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is writ- 
 ten, c This people honoureth me with their lips, but 
 their heart is far from me. 
 
 7 Howbeit, in vain do they worship me, teaching 
 for doctrines the commandments of men. 
 
 8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye 
 hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots 
 and cups : and many other such like things ye do. 
 
 9 And he said unto them, Full well ye || reject 
 the commandment of God, that ye may keep your 
 own tradition. 
 
 10 For Moses said, ^Honour thy father and thy 
 mother; and, e Whoso curseth father or mother, let 
 him die the death: 
 
 11 But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or 
 mother, 72 is ^Corban, that is to say, a gift, by what- 
 soever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be 
 free. 
 
 12 And ye sutfer him no more to do aught for 
 his father or his mother.

 your tradition, which ye have delivered : and many

 What defdcth a man 
 Hearken unto me every 
 
 one of you, and understand. 
 
 15 There is nothing from without a man, that en- 
 tering into him, can defile him : but the things which 
 come out of him, those are they that defile the man. 
 
 16 A If any man have ears to hear, let him bear. 
 
 17 'And when he was entered into the house front 
 the people, his disciples asked him concerning the 
 parable. 
 
 18 And he saith unto them, Are ye so without 
 understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that what- 
 soever thing from without entereth into the man, it 
 cannot defile him : 
 
 19 Because it entereth not into his heart, but into 
 the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging 
 all meats? 
 
 20 And he said, That which cometh out of the 
 man, that defileth the man. 
 
 21 *For from within, out of the heart of men. pro- 
 ceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, 
 
 22 Thefts, fcovetousness, wickedness, deceit, las- 
 civiousness, an evil eye, blaspheni}', pride, foolishness ; 
 
 23 All these evil things "come from within, and 
 defile the man. 
 
 24 II' And from thence he arose, and went into the 
 borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an 
 house, and would have no man know it: but he 
 could not be hid. 
 
 25 For a certain Avoman, whose young daughter 
 had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and 
 fell at his feet: 
 
 26 (The woman was a || Greek, a S}'rophenician 
 by nation,) and she besought him that he would 
 cast forth the devil out of her daughter. 
 
 27 But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first 
 be filled : for it is not meet to take the children's 
 bread, and cast it unto the dogs. 
 
 28 And she answered and said unto him, Yes, 
 Lord : yet the dogs under the table eat of the chil- 
 dren's crumbs. 
 
 29 And he said unto hei*, For this saj'ing, go th} 
 way ; the devil is gone out of thy daughter. 
 
 30 And when she was come to her house, she found 
 the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed. 
 
 31 H'"And again, departing from the coasts of 
 Tyre and Sidon, he came unto the sea of Galilee, 
 through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis. 
 
 32 And " they bring unto him one that was deaf, 
 and had an impediment in his speech; and they be- 
 seech him to put his hand upon him. 
 
 33 And he took him aside from the multitude, 
 and put his fingers into his ears, and "he spit, and 
 touched his tongue : 
 
 34 And looking 'up to heaven, 9 he sighed, and 
 saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened. 
 
 35 ''And straightway his ears were opened, and the 
 string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain 
 
 36 And •'he charged them that they should tell 
 no man : but the more he charged them, so much 
 the more a great deal they published it; 
 
 37 And were beyond measure astonished, saying, 
 He hath done all things well; he maketh both the 
 deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak. 
 
 CHAP. VIII. 
 
 1 Christ feedelh the people miraculously; 22 Hegiveth a blindman hissight.ffc 
 
 |~N those days °the multitude being very great, 
 
 and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his 
 ciples unto him, and saith unto them, 
 
 (107 
 
 lis- 
 
Christ fcedeih the people. 
 
 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 send them away fasting to their own 
 houses, they will faint by the way : for divers of 
 them came from far. 
 
 4 And his disciples answered him, From whence 
 can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the 
 wilderness? 
 
 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 he took the seven loaves, and gave 
 thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set 
 before them; and they did set them before the people. 
 
 7 And they had a few small fishes : and c he blessed, 
 and commanded to set them also before them. 
 
 8 So they did eat, and were filled : and they took 
 up of the broken meat that was left, seven baskets. 
 
 9 And they that had eaten were about four thou- 
 sand : and he sent them away. 
 
 10 IT And d straightway he entered into a ship with 
 his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha. 
 
 11 'And the Pharisees came forth, and began 
 to question with him, seeking of him a sign from 
 heaven, tempting him.

 Why doth this generation seek after a sign? Verily 
 I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto 
 this generation. 
 
 13 And he left them, and entering into the ship 
 again, departed to the other side. 
 
 14 IKNow the disciples had forgotten to take bread, 
 neither had they in the ship with them more than 
 one lo;-if. 
 
 15 *And he charged them, saying, Take heed, 
 beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the 
 leaven of Herod. 
 
 16 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, 
 It is ^because we have no bread. 
 
 17 And when Jesus knew it, he saith unto them, 
 Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? i per- 
 ceive ye not yet, neither understand ? have ye your 
 heart yet hardened ? 
 
 18 Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears,

 asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom do 
 men say that I am? 
 
 28 And they answered, 'John the Baptist: but 
 some say, Elias; and others, Une of the prophets. 
 
 29 And he saith unto them, But whom say ye 
 that I am ? And Peter answereth and saith unto 
 him, r Thou art the Christ. 
 
 30 'And he charged them that they should tell 
 no man of him. 
 
 31 And 'he began to teach them, that the Son of 
 man must suffer many things, and be rejected of 
 the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and 
 be killed, and after three days rise again. 
 
 32 And he spake that saying openly. And Peter 
 took him, and began to rebuke him.

 his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee 
 behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things 
 that be of God, but the thing's that be of men.

 with his disciples also, he said unto them, "Whoso- 
 ever will come after me, let him deny himself, and 
 take up his cross, and follow me.

 but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and

 the whole world, and lose his own soul? 
 
 37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his 
 soul?

 me, and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful 
 generation; of him also shall the Son of man b6 
 ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father

 2 Jesus transfigured ; 11 he instruclelh his disciples concerning (he coming 
 
 of Elias, fyc. 
 
 ND he said unto them, "Verily I say unto you, 
 That there be some of them that stand here 
 which shall not taste of death, till they have seen 
 'the kingdom of God come with power. 
 
 2 IT 'And after six days, Jesus taketh with him 
 Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up 
 into an high mountain apart by themselves; and he 
 was transfigured before them. 
 
 3 And his raiment became shining, exceeding'Svhitc 
 as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them. 
 
 4 And there appeared unto them Elias, with 
 Moses : and they were talking with Jesus. 
 
 5 And Peter answered and 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 Elias. 
 
 6 For he wist not what to say: for they were 
 sore afraid. 
 
 7 And there was a cloud that overshadowed them : 
 and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is 
 my beloved Son : hear him. 
 
 8 And suddenly, when they had looked round 
 about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only 
 with themselves. 
 
 9 e And as they came down from the mountain, 
 he charged them that they should tell no man what 
 things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen 
 from the dead. 
 
 10 And they kept that saying with themselves, 
 
 A 
 
Chnsi castdh out a dumb spirit. 
 
 questioning one with another what the rising from 
 the dead should mean. 
 
 11 If And they asked him, saying, Why say the 
 scribes -''that Elias must first come? 
 
 12 And he answered and told them, Elias verily 
 cometh first, and restoreth all things; and *how it 
 is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer 
 many things, and ''be set at nought. 
 
 13 But I say unto you. That 'Elias is indeed 
 come, and they have done unto him whatsoever 
 they listed, as it is written of him. 
 
 14 IT* And when he came to his disciples, he saw 
 a great multitude about them, and the scribes ques- 
 tioning with them. 
 
 15 And straightway all the people, when they 
 beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to 
 him, saluted him. 
 
 16 And he asked the scribes, What question ye 
 || with them ? 
 
 17 And 'one of the multitude answered and snid, 
 Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which 
 hath a dumb spirit; 
 
 18 An.d wheresoever he taketh him, he i| teareth 
 him; and he foameth and gnasheth with his teeth, 
 and pineth away; and I spake to thy disciples that 
 they should cast him out, and they could not. 
 
 19 He answereth him, and saith, faithless gen- 
 eration, how long shall I be with you? how long 
 shall I suffer you? Bring him unto me. 
 
 20 And they brought him unto him: and "'when 
 he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and 
 he fell on the ground, and wallowed, foaming. 
 
 21 And he asked his father, How long is it ago 
 since this came unto him? And he said, Uf a child. 
 
 22 And oft-times it hath cast him into the fire, 
 and into the waters to destroy him : but if thou canst 
 do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us. 
 
 23 Jesus said unto him, " If thou canst believe, 
 all things are possible to him that belie veth. 
 
 24 And straightway the father of the child cried 
 out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou 
 mine unbelief. 
 
 25 When Jesus saw that the people came running 
 together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto 
 him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come 
 out of him, and enter no more into him. 
 
 26 And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and 
 came out of him: and he was as one dead; inso- 
 much 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 was come into the house, his 
 disciples asked him privately, Why could not we 
 cast nim out? 
 
 29 And he said unto them, This kind can come 
 forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting. 
 
 30 11 And they departed thence, and passed 
 through Galilee ; and he would not that any man 
 Bhould know it. 
 
 31 ^For he taught his disciples, and said unto 
 them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands 
 of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he 
 is killed, he shall rise the third day. 
 
 32 But they understood not that saying, and 
 were afraid to ask him. 
 
 33 IF'And he came to Capernaum: and being in 
 the house, he asked them, What was it that ye dis- 
 outed among yourselves by the way?

 followeth not us; and we forbade him, because he 
 followeth not us.

 can lightly speak evil of me.

 2 Christ disputeth with the Pharisees touching divorcement : 13 blesseth the 
 children that ore brought unto him, Jfc. 
 
 AND °he arose from thence, and cometh into the 
 coasts of Judea, by the farther side of Jordan : 
 and the people resort unto him again; and as he 
 was wont, he taught them again. 
 
 2 IT 4 And the Pharisees came to him, and asked 
 him. Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? 
 tempting him. 
 
 3 And he answered and said unto them, What 
 did Moses command you? 
 
 4 And they said, c Moses suffered to write a bill 
 of divorcement, and to put her away. 
 
 5 And Jesus answered and said unto them. For the 
 hardness of your heart, he wrote you this precept: 
 
 6 But from the beginning of the creation, ''God 
 made them male and female. 
 
 6U0 
 
Thf danger of riches. 
 
 7 'For this cause shall a man leave his father 
 and mother, and cleave to his wife; 
 
 8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then 
 they are no more twain, but one flesh. 
 
 9 What therefore, God hath joined together, let 
 not man put asunder. 
 
 10 And in the house his disciples asked him 
 again of the same matter. 
 
 11 And he saith unto them, •'"Whosoever 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 If* And they brought young children to hiin, 
 that he should touch them ; and his disciples re- 
 buked those that brought them. 
 
 14 But when Jesus saw it, he was much dis- 
 pleased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children 
 to come unto me, and forbid them not: for A of such 
 is the kingdom of God. 
 
 15 Verily I say unto you, 'Whosoever shall not 
 receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he 
 shall not enter therein. 
 
 16 And he took them up in his arms, put his 
 hands upon them, and blessed them. 
 
 17 IT* And when he was gone forth into the way, 
 there came one running, and kneeled to him, and 
 usked him, Good Master, what shall 1 do that I may 
 inherit eternal life? 
 
 18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou 
 •ne 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, Defraud not, Honour thy father 
 and mother. 
 
 20 And he answered and said unto him, Master, 
 all these have I observed from my youth. 
 
 21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said 
 unto him, One thing thou lackest : go thy way, sell 
 whatsoever 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 that saying, and went 
 away grieved : for he had great possessions. 
 
 23 11 "And Jesus looked round about, and saith 
 unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have 
 riches enter into the kingdom of God ! 
 
 24 And the disciples were astonished at his 
 words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto 
 them, Children, how hard is it for them "that 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 out of measure, 
 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 things are possible. 
 
 28 II' Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we 
 have left all, and have followed thee. 
 
 29 And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say 
 unto you, There is no man that 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 r But he shall receive an hundred-fold now in 
 this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and

 34 And they shall mock him, and shall scourge 
 him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him : 
 and the third day he shall rise again. 
 
 35 H^And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, 
 come unto him, saying, Master, we would that thou 
 shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire. 
 
 36 And he said unto them, What would ye that 
 I should do for you? 
 
 37 They said unto him, Grant unto us that we 
 may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on 
 thy left hand, in thy glory. 
 
 38 But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what 
 3'e ask : can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and 
 be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with ? 
 
 39 And they said unto him,We can. And Jesus 
 said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that 
 I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized 
 withal shall ye be baptized : 
 
 40 But to sit on my right hand and on my left 
 hand, is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them 
 for whom it is prepared. 
 
 41 y And when the ten heard it, they began to be 
 much displeased with James and John. 
 
 42 But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto 
 them, *Ye know that they which || are accounted to 
 rule over the Gentiles, exercise lordship over them; 
 and their great ones exercise authority upon them. 
 
 43 "But so shall it not be among you : but whoso- 
 ever will be great among you, shall be your minister: 
 
 44 And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, 
 shall be servant of all. 
 
 45 For even Hhe Son of man came not to be min- 
 istered unto, but to minister, and c to give his life a 
 ransom for many. 
 
 46 H^And they came to Jericho: and as he went 
 out of Jericho with his disciples, and a great num- 
 ber of people, blind Bartimeus, the son of Timeus, 
 sat by the highway side begging. 
 
 47 And when he heard that it was Jesus of 
 Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say. Jesus, thou 
 son of David, have mercy on me. 
 
 48 And many charged him that he should hold 
 his peace : but he cried the more a great deal, Thou 
 son of David, have mercy on me. 
 
 49 And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to 
 be called : and they call the blind man, saying unto 
 him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee. 
 
 50 And he, casting away his garment, rose, and 
 came to Jesus. 
 
 51 And Jesus answered and said unto him, What 
 wilt thou that I should do unto thee ? The blind man 
 said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight. 
 
 52 And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; 'thy 
 faith hath || made thee whole. And immediately he 
 received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way

 shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and

 silenceth the priests who question his authority. 
 
 AND "when they came nigh to Jsrusalem, unto 
 Bethphage, and Bethany, at the mount of 
 Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples, 
 
 2 And saith unto them, Go your way into the 
 village over against you : and as soon as ye be 
 entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon 
 aever man sat; loose him, and bring him. 
 
 3 And if any man say unto you, Why do ye 
 this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and 
 straightway he will send him hither. 
 
 4 And they went their way, and found the colt 
 tied by the door without, in a place where two ways 
 met; and they loose him. 
 
 5 And certain of them that stood there said unto 
 them, What do ye, loosing the colt? 
 
 6 And they said unto them even as Jesus had 
 commanded : and they let them go. 
 
 7 And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast 
 their garments on him; and he sat upon him. 
 
 8 *And many spread their garments in the way: 
 and others cut down branches off the trees, and 
 strewed them in the way. 
 
 9 And they that went before, and they that fol- 
 lowed, cried, saying, e IIosanna: 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 : ''Hosanna in 
 the highest. 
 
 11 'And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into 
 the temple: and when he had looked round about 
 upon all things, and now the even-tide was come, 
 he went out unto Bethany, with the twelve. 
 
 12 If f And on the morrow, when they were come 
 from Bethany, he was hungry. 
 
 13 *And seeing a fig-tree afar off, having leaves, 
 lie came, if haply he might find any thing thereon : 
 a.nd when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves : 
 for the time of figs was not yet. 
 
 14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No 
 man eat fruit of thee hereafter forever. And his 
 disciples heard it. 
 
 15 H * And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus 
 went into the temple, and began to cast out them 
 that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew 
 the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of 
 them that sold doves; 
 
 16 And would not suffer that any man should 
 carry any vessel through the temple. 
 
 17 And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not 
 written, 'My house shall be called, ||of all nations, the 
 house of prayer? but *ye have made it a den of thieves. 
 
 18 And 'the scribes and chief priests heard it, 
 and sought how they might destroy him: for they 
 feared him, because m all the people was astonished 
 at his doctrine. 
 
 19 And when even was come, he went out of the 
 city. 
 
 20 IF "And in the morning, as they passed by, 
 they saw the fig-tree dried up from the roots. 
 
 21 And Peter calling to remembrance, saith unto 
 him, Master, behold, the fig-tree which thou cursedst 
 is withered away.

 thou these things? and who gave thee this authority

 32 But if we shall say, Of men ; they feared the 
 people : for 'all men counted John, that he was a 
 prophet indeed. 
 
 33 And they answered and said unto Jesus, We 
 cannot tell. And Jesus answering saith unto them, 
 Neither do I tell you b} r what authority I do these

 1 The parable of the vineyard. 13 Touching the paying of tribute. 18 T.'jt 
 Sadducees confuted. 35 A difficulty proposed to the scribes, $r 
 
 AND "he began to speak unto them by parables 
 A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an 
 hedge about it, and digged a place for the wine-fat, 
 and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, 
 and went into a far country. 
 
 2 And at the season he sent to the husbandmen 
 a servant, that he might receive from the husband- 
 men of the fruit of the vineyard. 
 
 3 And they caught him, and beat him, and sent 
 him away empty. 
 
 4 And again he sent unto them another servant: 
 and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in 
 the head, and sent him away shamefully handled. 
 
 5 And again he sent another; and him they killed, 
 and many others ; beating some, and killing some. 
 
 6 Having yet therefore one son, his well-beloved, 
 he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will 
 reverence my son. 
 
 7 But those husbandmen said among themselves, 
 This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the in- 
 heritance shall be ours. 
 
 8 And they took him, and killed him, and cast 
 him out of the vineyard. 
 
 9 What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard 
 do? He will come and destroy the husbandmen, 
 and will give the vineyard unto others. 
 
 10 And have ye not read this scripture; *The 
 stone which the builders rejected is become the 
 head of the corner: 
 
 11 This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvel 
 lous in our eyes?

 the people; for they knew that he had spoken the 
 parable against them: and they left him, and went 
 their way. 
 
 13 If ,7 And they send unto him certain of the Pha- 
 risees, and of the Herodians, to catch him in his 
 words. 
 
 14 And when they were come, they say unto him, 
 Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for 
 no man : for thou regardest not the person of men, 
 hut teachest the way of God in truth : Is it lawful 
 to give tribute to Cesar, or not? 
 
 15 Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, 
 knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt

 16 And they brought it. And he saith unto them, 
 Whose is this image and superscription? And tbey 
 said unto him, Cesar's. 
 
 17 And Jesus answering, said unto them, Render 
 to Cesar the things that are Cesar's, and to God the 
 things that are God's. And they marvelled at him. 
 
 lb 1[ e Then come unto him the Sadducees, Avhich 
 say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, 
 saying, 
 
 19 Master, s Moses wrote unto us, If a man's bro- 
 ther die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no 
 children, that his brother should take his wife, and 
 raise up seed unto his brother. 
 
 20 Now there were seven brethren : and the first 
 took a wife, and dying left no seed. 
 
 21 And the second took her, and died, neither 
 left he any seed : and the third likewise. 
 
 22 And the seven had her, and left no seed: 
 last of all the woman died also. 
 
 23 In the resurrection therefore, when they shall 
 rise, whose wife she shall be of them? for the seven 
 had her to wife. 
 
 24 And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye 
 not therefore err, because ye know not the scrip- 
 tures, neither the power of God? 
 
 25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they 
 neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but A are 
 as the angels which are in heaven. 
 
 26 And as touching the dead, that they rise; have 
 ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush 
 God spake unto him, saying, ' I am the God of Abra- 
 ham, 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 do greatly err. 
 
 28 11* And one of the scribes came, and having 
 heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that 
 he had answered them well, asked hiin, Which is 
 the first commandment of all ? 
 
 29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the 
 commandments is, 'Hear, Israel; 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, namely this, m Thou 
 shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: there is none 
 other commandment greater than these. 
 
 32 And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, 
 fhou hast said the truth: for there is one God; "and 
 there is none 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

 34 And when Jesus saw that he answered dis- 
 creetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the 
 kingdom of God. ^And no man after that durst ask 
 him any question,. 
 
 35 IT* And Jesus answered and said, while he 
 taught in the temple, How say the scribes that 
 Christ is the son of David ? 
 
 36 For David himself said r by the Holy Ghost, 
 'The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right 
 hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool. 
 
 37 David therefore himself calleth him Lord, 
 and whence is he then his son? And the common 
 people heard him gladty. 
 
 38 II And 'he said unto them in his doctrine, 
 "Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long 
 clothing, and x love salutations in the market-places, 
 
 39 And the chief seats in the synagogues, and 
 the uppermost rooms at feasts : 
 
 40 y Which devour widows' houses, and for a pre- 
 tence make long prayers: these shall receive greater 
 damnation. 
 
 41 VAnd Jesus sat over against the treasury 
 and beheld how the people cast || money "into the 
 treasury: and many that were rich cast in much. 
 
 42 And there came a certain poor widow, and 
 she threw in two || mites, which make a farthing. 
 
 43 And he called unto him his disciples, and 
 saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That 'this 
 poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which 
 have cast into the treasury. 
 
 44 For all they did cast in of their abundance 
 but she of her want did cast in all that she had. 
 even all her living.

 \ Christ foretclleth the destruction of the temple: 3 he shewelh what sign*

 AND "as he went out of the temple, one of his 
 disciples saith unto him, Master, see what 
 manner of stones, and what buildings are here! 
 
 2 And Jesus answering, said unto him, Seest thou 
 these great buildings ? b there shall not be left tone 
 stone upon another, that shall not be 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 privately, 
 
 4 c Tell us, when shall these things be? and what 
 shall he the sign when all these things shall be ful- 
 filled? 
 
 5 And Jesus answering them, began to say, d Take 
 heed lest any man deceive you : 
 
 6 For many shall come in my name, saying, I 
 am Christ; and shall deceive many. 
 
 7 And when ye shall hear of wars, and rumours 
 of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must 
 needs be ; but the end shall not be yet. 
 
 8 For nation shall rise against nation, and king- 
 dom against kingdom: and there shall be earth- 
 quakes in divers places, and there shall be famines, 
 and troubles: 'these are the beginnings of || sorrows. 
 
 9 But ''take heed to yourselves : for they shall 
 deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye 
 shall be beaten : and ye shall be brought before rulers 
 and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.

 up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, 
 neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be 
 given you in that hour, that speak ye : for it is not 
 ye that speak, 'but the Holy Ghost. 
 
 12 Now *the brother shall betray the brother to 
 death, and the father the son : and children shall rise 
 up against their parents, and shall cause them to be 
 put to death. 
 
 13 'And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's 
 sake: but m he that shall endure unto the end, the 
 same shall be saved. 
 
 14 "But when ye shall see the abomination of des- 
 olation, "spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing 
 where itought not, (let him that readeth understand,) 
 then ''let them that be in Judea flee to the mountains : 
 
 15 And let hiin that is on the house-top not go 
 down into the house, neither enter therein, to take 
 any thing out of his house: 
 
 16 And let him that is in the field not turn back 
 again for to take up his garment. 
 
 17 'But wo to them that are with child, and to 
 them that give suck in those days! 
 
 18 And pray ye that your flight be not in the 
 winter. 
 
 19 r For in those days shall be affliction, such as 
 was not from the beginning of the creation which 
 God created unto this time, neither shall be. 
 
 20 And except that the Lord had shortened those 
 days, no flesh should be saved : but for the elect's sake, 
 whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days. 
 
 21 'And then, if any man shall say to you, Lo, 
 here is Christ ; or lo, he is there ; believe him not. 
 
 22 For false Christs, and false prophets shall rise, 
 and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it 
 v>ere possible, even the elect. 
 
 23 But 'take ye heed: behold, I have foretold 
 you all things. 
 
 24 IrBut in those days, after that tribulation, 
 the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not 
 give her light, 
 
 25 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the 
 powers that are in heaven shall be shaken. 
 
 26 r And then shall they see the Son of man com- 
 ing in the clouds with great power and glory. 
 
 27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall 
 gather together his elect from the four winds, from 
 the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost 
 part of heaven. 
 
 28 "Now learn a parable of the fig-tree: When 
 her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, 
 ye know that summer is near: 
 
 29 So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these 
 things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the

 1 A conspiracy against Christ: 3 a woman pourefh ointment on hit head. 
 10 Judas COVenanteth to betray him: 12 he ealelh the passover: 'A'J. he 
 insti/uteth his last supper: 66 Peter thrice denieth him, Jfc. 
 
 AFTER "two days was the feast of the passover, 
 and of unleavened bread: and the chief priest e, 
 
 and the scribes, sought how they might take him 
 by craft, and put him to death. 
 
 2 But they said, Not on the feast-Joy, lest there 
 be an uproar of the people. 
 
 3 II 6 And being in Bethany, in the house of Simon 
 the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman 
 having an alabaster-box of ointment of || spikenard, 
 very precious; and she brake the box, and poured 
 it on his head. 
 
 4 And there were some that had indignation with- 
 in themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the 
 ointment made? 
 
 5 For it might have been sold for more than three 
 hundred || pence, and have been given to the poor. 
 And they murmured against her. 
 
 6 And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble 
 ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me. 
 
 7 For c ye have the poor with you always, and 
 whensoever ye will ye may do them good : but me 
 ye have not always. 
 
 8 She hath done what she could: she is come 
 aforehand to anoint my body to the burying. 
 
 9 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel 
 shall be preached throughout the whole world, this 
 also that she hath done shall be spoken of, for a 
 memorial of her. 
 
 10 H rf And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went 
 unto the chief priests, to betray him unto them. 
 
 11 And when they heard it, they were glad, and 
 promised to give him money. And he sought how 
 he might conveniently betray him. 
 
 12 IPAnd the first day of unleavened bread, when 
 they || killed the passover, his disciples said untc 
 him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare, that 
 thou mayest eat the passover? 
 
 13 And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and 
 saith unto them, Go ye into the city, and there shall 
 meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water : follow 
 him. 
 
 14 And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the 
 good man of the house, The Master saith, Where 
 is the guest-chamber, where I shall eat the passover 
 with my disciples? 
 
 15 And he will shew you a large upper room fur- 
 nished and prepared : there make ready for us. 
 
 16 And his disciples went forth, and came into 
 the city, and found as he had said unto them: and 
 they made ready the passover. 
 
 17 /And in the evening he cometh with the twelve. 
 
 18 And as they sat, and did eat, Jesus said, Ver- 
 ily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with 
 me, shall betray me. 
 
 19 And they began to be sorrowful, and to say 
 unto him one by one, Is it 1 ? and another said, Is it 1 ? 
 
 20 And he answered and said unto them, It is one 
 of the twelve that 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 
 
 613 
 
Judas betray clh Clirist. 
 
 ST. MARK 
 
 man i3 betrayed ! good were it for that man if he 
 had never been born. 
 
 22 M ''And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and 
 blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, 
 Take, eat: this is my body. 
 
 23 And he took the cup, and when he had given 
 thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it. 
 
 21 And he said unto them, This is my blood of 
 the new testament, which is shed for many. 
 
 25 Verily I say unto you; I will drink no more 
 oi the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink 
 it new in the kingdom of God. 
 
 26 II 'And when they had sung an || hymn, they 
 went out into the mount of Olives. 
 
 27 *And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be 
 offended because of me this night: for it is written, 
 'I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be 
 scattered. 
 
 28 But ""after that I am risen, I will go before 
 you into Galilee. 
 
 29 " But Peter said unto him, Although all shall 
 be offended, yet will not I. 
 
 30 And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto 
 thee, That this day, even in this night, before the 
 cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. 
 
 31 But he spake the more vehemently, If I should 
 die with thee, I wiil not deny thee in any wise. 
 Likewise also said they all. 
 
 32 "And they came to a place which was named 
 Gethsemane : and he saith to his disciples, Sit ye 
 here, while I shall pray. 
 
 33 And he taketh with him Peter, and James, 
 and John, and began to be sore amazed, and to be 
 very heavy; 
 
 34 And saith unto them, p My soul is exceeding 
 sorrowful unto death : tarry ye here, and watch. 
 
 35 And he went forward a little, and fell on the 
 ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the 
 hour might pass from him. 
 
 36 And he said, 'Abba, Father, r all things are 
 possible unto thee ; take away this cup from me : 
 'nevertheless, not what I will, but what thou wilt. 
 
 37 And he cometh and findeth them sleeping, and 
 saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou ? couldest 
 not thou watch one hour ? 
 
 38 Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into tempta.- 
 tion. ' The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak. 
 
 39 And again he went away, and prayed, and 
 3pake the same words. 
 
 40 And when he returned, he found them asleep 
 again, (for their eyes were heavy,) neither wist they 
 what to answer him. 
 
 41 And he cometh the third time, and saith unto 
 them, Sleep on now, and take your rest : it is enough, 
 "the hour is come ; behold, the Son of man is be- 
 trayed into the hands of sinners. 
 
 42 'Rise up, let us go ; lo, he that betrayeth me 
 is at hand. 
 
 43 H y And immediately while he yet spake, cometh 
 Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great mul- 
 titude with swords and staves, from the chief priests, 
 and the scribes, and the elders. 
 
 44 And he that betrayed him, had given them a 
 token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same 
 is he ; take him, and lead him away safely. 
 
 45 And as soon as he was come, he goeth straight- 
 way to him, and saith, Master, Master ; and kissed 
 him.

 46 IfAnd they laid theirhandsonhim,andtookhim 
 
 47 And one of them that stood by, drew a sword, 
 and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off 
 his ear. 
 
 48 *And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are 
 ye come out as against a thief, with swords and with 
 staves to take me ? 
 
 49 I was daily with you in the temple, teaching, 
 and ye took me not: but "the scriptures must be 
 fulfilled. 
 
 50 *And they all forsook him and fled. 
 
 51 And there followed him a certain young man, 
 having a linen cloth cast about his naked body ; and 
 the young men laid hold on him. 
 
 52 And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them 
 naked. 
 
 53 IfAnd they led Jesus away to the high priest : 
 and with him were assembled all the chief priests, 
 and the elders and the scribes. 
 
 54 And Peter followed him afar off, even into the 
 palace of the high priest: and he sat with the serv- 
 ants, and warmed himself at the fire. 
 
 55 'And the chief priests, and all the council 
 sought for witness against Jesus to put him to death; 
 and found none. 
 
 56 For many bare false witness against him, but 
 their witness agreed not together. 
 
 57 And there arose certain, and bare false wit- 
 ness against him, saying, 
 
 58 We heard him say, e I will destroy this temple 
 that is made with hands, and within three days 1 
 Avill build another made without hands. 
 
 59 But neither so did their witness agree together 
 
 60 -^And the high priest stood up in the midst, 
 and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing ? 
 Avhat is" it which these witness against thee ? 
 
 61 But *he held his peace, and answered nothing. 
 A Again the high priest asked him, and said unto 
 him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? 
 
 62 And Jesus said, I am : 'and ye shall see the 
 Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and 
 coming in the clouds of heaven. 
 
 63 Then the high priest rent his clothes, and 
 saith, What need we any further witnesses ? 
 
 64 Ye have heard the blasphemy : Avhat think ye ? 
 And they all condemned him to be guilty of death. 
 
 65 And some began to spit on him, and to covei 
 his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him, 
 Prophesy : and the servants did strike him with the 
 palms of their hands. 
 
 66 1F*And as Peter was beneath in the palace, 
 there cometh one of the maids of the high priest; 
 
 67 And when she saw Peter warming himself, 
 she looked upon him, and said, And thou also wast 
 with Jesus of Nazareth. 
 
 68 But he denied, saying, I know not, neithei 
 understand I what thou sayest. And he went out 
 into the porch ; and the cock crew. 
 
 69 'And the maid saw him again, and began to 
 say to them that stood by, This is one of them. 
 
 70 And he denied it again. "And a little after, 
 they that stood by said again to Peter, Surely thou 
 art one of them : "for thou art a Galilean, and thy 
 speech agreeth thereto. 
 
 71 But he began to curse and to swear, saying, 1 
 know not this man of whom ye speak. 
 
 72 "And the second time the cock crew. And 
 Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said unto 
 
Christ brought to Pilate:

 him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny

 CHAP. XV. 
 
 1 Jesus is brought bound and accused before Pilate. 6 Pilate, prevailed 
 on by the people, givcth up Jesus to be crucified: 17 he is crowned with 
 thorns, 27 hangeth between two thieves: 43 he is honourably buried. 
 
 AND "straightway in the morning the chief priests 
 held a consultation with the elders and scribes, 
 and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried 
 him away, and delivered him to Pilate. 
 
 2 'And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of 
 the Jews? And he answering, said unto him, Thou 
 say est it. 
 
 3 And the chief priests accused him of many 
 things: but he answered nothing. 
 
 4 c And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest 
 thou nothing? behold how many things they witness 
 against thee. 
 
 5 d But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate 
 marvelled. 
 
 6 Now e at that feast he released unto them one 
 prisoner, whomsoever they desired. 
 
 7 And there was one named Barabbas, which lay 
 bound with them that had made insurrection with 
 him, who had committed murder in the insurrection. 
 
 8 And the multitude crying aloud, began to desire 
 nirn to do as he had ever done unto them. 
 
 9 But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that 
 I release unto you the King of the Jews? 
 
 10 (For he knew that the chief priests had deliv- 
 ered him for envy.) 
 
 11 But Ahe chief priests moved the people that 
 he should rather release Barabbas unto them. 
 
 12 And Pilate answered, and said again unto 
 them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him 
 whom ye call the King of the Jews ? 
 
 13 And they cried out again, Crucify him. 
 
 14 Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil 
 hath he done? And they cried out the more exceed- 
 ingly, Crucify him. 
 
 15 IT* And so Pilate, willing to content the people, 
 released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, 
 when he had scourged him, to be crucified. 
 
 16 A And the soldiers led him away into the hall, call- 
 ed Pretorium; and the} r call together the whole band ; 
 
 17 And they clothed him with purple, and platted 
 a crown of thorns, and put it about his head, 
 
 18 And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews ! 
 
 19 And they smote him on the head with a reed, 
 and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees, 
 worshipped him. 
 
 20 And when they had mocked him, they took 
 off the purple from him, and put his own clothes on 
 him, and led him out to crucify him. 
 
 21 'And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who 
 passed by, coming out of the country, the father of 
 Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross. 
 
 22 *And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, 
 which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull. 
 
 23 'And they gave him to drink, wine mingled 
 with myrrh: but he received it not. 
 
 24 And when they had crucified him, m they parted 
 his garments, casting lots upon them, what every 
 man should take. 
 
 25 And "it was the third hour, and they crucified 
 him. 
 
 26 And "the superscription of his accusation was 
 written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

 women which came up with him unto Jerusalem. 
 
 42 II* And now when the even was come, (because 
 it was the preparation, that is, the day before the 
 sabbath,) 
 
 43 Joseph of Arimathea, an honourable counsel- 
 lor, which also h waited for the kingdom of God, 
 came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved 
 the body of Jesus. 
 
 44 And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead ; 
 and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him 
 whether he had been any while dead. 
 
 45 And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave 
 the body to Joseph. 
 
 46 'And he bought fine linen, and took him down, 
 and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a 
 sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled 
 a stone unto the door of the sepulchre. 
 
 47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of 
 Joses beheld where he was laid.

 AND "when the sabbath was past, Mary Mag- 
 dalene, and Mary the mother of James, and 
 Salome, *had bought sweet spices, that they might 
 come and anoint him. 
 
 2 f And very early in the morning, the first day 
 of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the 
 rising of the sun : 
 
(Thrist's resurrection declared: 
 
 3 And they said among themselves, Who shall roll 
 as away the stone from the door of the sepulchre? 
 
 4 (And when they looked, they saw that the 
 stone was rolled away.) for it was very great. 
 
 5 d And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a 
 young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a 
 long white garment; and they were affrighted. 
 
 6 'And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: ye 
 seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified : he is 
 risen ; he is not here : behold the place where they 
 laid him. 
 
 7 But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter, 
 that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall 
 ye see him, -^as he said unto you. 
 
 8 And they went out quickly, and fled from the sep- 
 ulchre ; for they trembled, and were amazed : g neither 
 said they any thing to any man; for they were afraid. 
 
 9 irNow when Jesus was risen early, the first day 
 of the week, A he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, 
 'out of whom he had cast seven devils. 
 
 10 * And she went and told them that had been 
 with him, as the} r mourned and wept. 
 
 11 'And they, when they had heard that he was 
 alive, and had been seen of her, believed not. 
 
 12 If After that, he appeared in another form m unto

 Luke's preface. 5 The conception of John Baptist, 2G and of Christ. 
 67 The nativity and circumcision of John. 64 The mouth of Zacharias 
 opened: 67 his prophecy. 
 
 FORASMUCH as many have taken in hand to 
 set forth in order a declaration of those things 
 which are most surely believed among us, 
 
 2 "Even as they delivered them unto us, which 
 'from the beginning were eye-witnesses, and minis- 
 ters of the word ; 
 
 3 c It seemed good to me also, having had perfect 
 understanding of all things from the very first, to 
 write unto thee d in order, 'most excellent Theophilus, 
 
 4 -''That thou mightest know the certainty of those 
 things wherein thou hast been instructed. 
 
 5 UnPHERE was«in the days of Herod the king 
 
 J- of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, 
 *of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the 
 daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth. 
 
 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 that Elisabeth 
 was barren; and they both were notv well stricken 
 in years. 
 
 8 And it came to pass, that, while he executed the 
 priest's office before God *in the order of his course, 
 
 9 According to the custom of the priest's office, 
 his lot was to 'to burn incense when he went into the 
 temple of the Lord. 
 
 10 '"And the whole multitude of the people were 
 praying without, at the time of incense. 
 
 11 And there appeared unto him an angel of the 
 Lord, standing on the right side of" the altar of incense. 
 
 12 And when Zacharias saw him, "he was troubled, 
 and fear fell upon him. 
 
 13 But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: 
 for thv prayer is heard ; and thy wife Elisabeth shall

 bear thee a son, and p thou shalt call his name John. 
 
 14 And thou shalt have joy and gladness, and 
 'many shall rejoice at his birth. 
 
 15 For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, 
 and r shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and 
 he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, 'even from 
 his mother's womb. 
 
 16 'And many of the children of Israel shall he 
 turn to the Lord their God. 
 
 17 "And he shall go before him in the spirit and 
 power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the 
 children, and the disobedient [| to the wisdom of the 
 just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord. 
 
 18 And Zacharias said unto the angel, y Whereby 
 shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my 
 wife well stricken in years. 
 
 19 And the angel answering, said umo him, I am 
 * Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and 
 am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these 
 glad tidings. 
 
 20 And behold "thou shalt be dumb, and notable 
 to speak, until the day that these things shall be 
 performed, because thou believest not my words, 
 which shall be fulfilled in their season. 
 
 21 And the people waited for Zacharias, and 
 marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple. 
 
 22 And when he came out, he could not speak 
 unto them: and they perceived that he had seen a 
 vision in the temple; for he beckoned unto them, 
 and remained speechless. 
 
 23 And it came to pass that as soon as *tb.e days 
 of his ministration were accomplished, he departed 
 to his own house. 
 
 24 And after those days his wife Elisabeth 
 conceived, and hid herself five months, saying, 
 
 25 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me iu the 
 days wherein he looked on me, to ' take away my 
 reproach among men. 
 
And he shall reign over the house of Jacob 
 
 The conception of Christ. 
 
 26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was 
 pent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, 
 
 27 To a virgin d espoused to a man whose name 
 was Joseph, of the house of David ; and the virgin's 
 name was Mary. 
 
 28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, 
 'Hail, thou that art || highly favoured/ the Lord is with 
 thee: blessed art thou among women. 
 
 29 And when she saw him, *she was troubled at 
 his raying, and cast in her mind what manner of 
 salutation this should be. 
 
 30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary : 
 for thou hast found favour with God. 
 
 31 ''And behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, 
 and bring forth a son, and ' shalt call his name JESUS. 
 
 32 He shall be great, *and shall be called the Son 
 of the Highest; and 'the Lord God shall give unto 
 him the throne of his father David 
 
 33 
 for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end 
 
 34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall 
 this be, seeing I know not a man? 
 
 35 And the angel answered and said unto her, 
 "The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the 
 power of the Highest shall overshadow thee : there- 
 fore also that holy thing which shall be born of 
 thee, shall be called "the Son of God. 
 
 36 And behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath 
 also conceived a son in her old age; and this is the 
 sixth month with her who was called barren: 
 
 37 For **with God nothing shall be impossible. 
 
 38 Ai.-d Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the 
 Lord, be it unto 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 Juda, 
 
 40 And entered into the house of Zacharias, and 
 saluted Elisabeth. 
 
 41 And it came to pass, that when Elisabeth 
 heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her 
 womb : and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost. 
 
 42 And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, 
 r Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the 
 fruit of thy womb. 
 
 43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of 
 my Lord should come to me ? 
 
 44 For lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation 
 sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb 
 for joy. 
 
 45 And blessed is she || that believed : for there 
 shall be a performance of those things which were 
 told her from the Lord. 
 
 46 And Mary said, 'My soul doth magnify the 
 Lord, 
 
 47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. 
 
 48 For 'he hath regarded the low estate of his 
 handmaiden: for behold, from henceforth "all gener- 
 ations shall call me blessed. 
 
 49 For he that is mighty "hath done to me great 
 things; and •''holy is his name. 
 
 56 And y his mercy is on them that fear him, from 
 generation to generation. 
 
 51 s He hath shewed strength with his arm ; " he hath 
 blattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. 
 
 52 'He hath put down the mighty from their seats, 
 and exalted them of low degree. 
 
 53 'He hath filled the hungry with good things, 
 and the rich he hath sent empty away.

 Zacharias' prophecy 
 
 54 He hath holpen his servant Israel, d in remem- 
 brance of his mercy ; 
 
 55 'As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and 
 to his seed for ever. 
 
 56 And Mary abode with her about three months, 
 and returned to her own house. 
 
 57 Now Elisabeth's full time came that she should 
 be delivered; and she brought forth a son. 
 
 58 And her neighbours and her cousins heard how 
 the Lord had shewed great mercy upon her; and 
 ■/"they rejoiced with her. 
 
 59 And it came to pass that 'on the eighth day 
 they came to circumcise the child; and they called 
 him Zacharias, after the name of his father. 
 
 60 And his mother answered and said, *Not so; 
 but he shall be called John. 
 
 61 And they said unto her, There is none of thy 
 kindred that 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-table, and wrote, 
 saying, 'His name is John. And they marvelled all. 
 
 64 *And his mouth was opened immediately, and 
 his tongue loosed, and he spake and praised God. 
 
 65 And fear came on all that dwelt round about 
 them: and all these || sayings were noised abroad 
 throughout all ' the hill country of Judea.

 in their hearts, saying, What manner of child shall 
 this be ! And " the hand of the Lord was with him. 
 
 67 And his father Zacharias "was filled with the 
 Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying, 
 
 68 ^ Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for «he 
 hath visited and redeemed his people, 
 
 69 r And hath raised up an horn of salvation for 
 us in the house of his servant David :

 prophets, which have been since the world began : 
 
 71 That we should be saved from our enemies, 
 and from the hand of all that hate us : 
 
 72 'To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, 
 and to remember his holy covenant; 
 
 73 u The oath which he sware to our father Abra- 
 ham, 
 
 74 That he would grant unto us, that Ave, being 
 delivered out of the hand of our enemies, might 
 
 serve him without fear, 
 
 75 y In holiness and righteousness before him, all 
 the days of our life. 
 
 76 And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet 
 of the Highest, for 2 thou shalt go before the face oi

 77 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people,

 AND it came to pass in those days, that there 
 went out a decree from Cesar Augustus, that all 
 the world should be || taxed. 
 
 t>17 
 
The nativity of CJirist. 
 
 2 {"And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius 
 was governor of Syria.) 
 
 3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his 
 own city. 
 
 4 And Joseph also v.ont up from Galilee, out of 
 the city of Nazareth, into Judea, unto ''the city of 
 David, which is called Bethlehem, ('because he was 
 of the house and lineage of David,) 
 
 5 To be taxed with Mary ''his espoused wife, 
 being great with child. 
 
 6 And so it was, that while they were there, the 
 days were accomplished that she should be delivered. 
 
 7 And e she brought forth her first-born son, and 
 wrapped him in swaddling-clothes, and laid him in 
 a manger; because there was no room for them in 
 the inn. 
 
 8 And there were in the same country shepherds 
 abiding in the field, keeping || watch over their flock 
 by night. 
 
 9 And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, 
 and the glory of the Lord shone round about them; 
 'and they were sore afraid. 
 
 10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for 
 behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, s which 
 shall be to all people. 
 
 11 A For unto you is born this day, in the city of 
 David, 'a Saviour, * which is Christ the Lord. 
 
 12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall 
 find the babe wrapped in swaddling-clothes, lying 
 in a manger. 
 
 13 'And suddenly there was with the angel a mul- 
 titude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, 
 
 14 m Glory to God in the highest, and on earth 
 "peace, "good will toward men. 
 
 15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone 
 away from them into heaven, fthe shepherds said 
 one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, 
 and see this thing which is come to pass, which the 
 Lord hath made known unto us. 
 
 16 And they came with haste, and found Mary 
 and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. 
 
 17 And when they had seen it, they made known 
 abroad the saying which was told them concerning 
 this child. 
 
 18 And all they that heard it, wondered at those 
 things which were told them by the shepherds. 
 
 19 ^But Mary kept all these things, and pon- 
 dered them in her heart. 
 
 20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and 
 praising God for all the things that they had heard 
 and seen, as it was told unto them. 
 
 24. ? And when eight days were accomplished for 
 the circumcising of the child, his name was called 
 r JESUS, which was 
 he was conceived in the womb 
 
 22 And when 'the days of her purification accord- 
 ing to the law of Moses were accomplished, they 
 brought him to Jerusalem, to present him. to the Lord. 
 
 23 (As it is written in the law of the Lord; 
 'Every male that openeth the womb shall be called 
 holy to the Lord;) 
 
 24 And to offer a sacrifice according to "that which 
 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 Jerusalem, 
 whose name was Simeon; and the same man was 
 just and devout, x waiting for the consolation of 
 Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon hirn.

 (Simeon and Anna's prophecy 
 
 26 And it was revealed unto him by the Holy 
 Ghost, that he should not y 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 for him after the custom of the law, 
 
 28 Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed 
 God, and said, 
 
 29 Lord, "now lettest thou thy servant depart in 
 peace, according to thy word : 
 
 30 For mine eyes *have seen thy salvation, 
 
 31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of 
 all people; 
 
 32 C A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory 
 of thy people Israel. 
 
 33 And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those 
 things which were spoken of him. 
 
 _ 34 And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary 
 his mother, Behold, this child is set for the d fall and 
 rising again of many in Israel; and for 'a sign which 
 shall be spoken against; 
 
 35 (Yea^a sword shall pierce through thy own 
 soul also;) that the thoughts of many hearts may be 
 revealed. 
 
 36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the 
 daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser : she was 
 of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven 
 years from her virginity; 
 
 37 And she was a widow of about four-score and 
 four years, which departed not from the temple, buj 
 served GWwith fastings and praters * night and day. 
 
 38 And she coming in that instant, gave thanks 
 likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all 
 them that A looked for redemption in || Jerusalem. 
 
 39 And when they had performed all things ac- 
 cording to the law of the Lord, they returned into 
 Galilee, to their own city Nazareth. 
 
 40 'And the child grew, and waxed strong in 
 spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God 
 was upon him. 
 
 41 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 after the custom of the feast. 
 
 43 And when they had fulfilled the days, as they 
 returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusa- 
 lem ; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it. 
 
 44 But they, supposing him to have been in the 
 company, went a day's journey; and the}' sought 
 him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance. 
 
 45 And when they found him not, they turned 
 back again to Jerusalem, seeking him. 
 
 46 And it came to pass, that after three days 
 they found him in the temple sitting in the midst 
 of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them 
 questions. 
 
 47 And 'all that heard him were astonished at 
 his understanding and answers. 
 
 48 And when they saw him, they were amazed : 
 and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou 
 thus dealt with us ? behold, thy father and I have 
 sought thee sorrowing. 
 
 49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye 
 sought me? wist ye not that I must be about '"my 
 Father's business?

 he spake unto them.

 NOW in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius 
 Cesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, 
 and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother 
 Philip tetrarch of Iturea and of the region of Tra- 
 chonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene, 
 
 2 "Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the 
 word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias 
 In the wilderness. 
 
 3 'And he came into all the country about Jor- 
 dan, preaching the baptism of repentance, c for the 
 remission of sins; 
 
 4 As it is written in the book of the words of 
 Esaias the prophet, saying, ''The voice of one cry- 
 ing in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the 
 Lord, make his paths straight. 
 
 5 Every valley shall be filled, and every moun- 
 tain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked 
 shall be made straight, and the rough ways shull be 
 made smooth; 
 
 6 And 'all flesh shall see the salvation of God. 
 
 7 Then said he to the multitude that came forth 
 to be baptized of him, f O generation of vipers, 
 who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to 
 come ? 
 
 8 Bring forth therefore fruits || worthy of repent- 
 ance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We 
 have Abraham to our father : for I say unto you, 
 That God is able of these stones to raise up children 
 unto Abraham. 
 
 9 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of 
 the trees: * every tree therefore which bringeth not 
 forth good fruit, is hewn down, and cast into the 
 fire. 
 
 10 And the people asked him, saying, *What 
 6hall we do then? 
 
 11 He answereth and saith unto them, 'He that 
 hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath 
 none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise. 
 
 12 Then *came also publicans to be baptized, and 
 said unto him, Master, what shall we do ? 
 
 13 And he said unto them, 'Exact no more than 
 that which is appointed you. 
 
 14 And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, 
 saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto 
 them, || Do violence to no man, "neither accuse any 
 falsely ; and be content with your || wages. 
 
 15 And as the people were || in expectation, and 
 all men || mused in their hearts of John, whether he 
 were the Christ, or not; 
 
 16 John answered, saying unto them all, " I indeed 
 baptize you with water; but one mightier than I 
 cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy 
 to unloose : he shall baptize you with the Holy 
 Ghost, and with fire: 
 
 17 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thorough- 
 ly purge his floor, and ° will gather the wheat into 
 his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire

 4 And Jesus answered him, saying, ''It is writ- 
 ten, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by

 5 And the devil, taking him up into an high

 13 And when the devil had ended all the temp- 
 tation, he departed from him *for a season. 
 
 14 II 'And Jesus returned m m the power of the 
 Spirit into " Galilee : and there went out a fame of 
 him through all the region round about. 
 
 15 And he taught in their synagogues 
 glorified of all. 
 
 16 H And he came to "Nazareth, where he had been 
 Drought up : and, as his custom was, ■''he went into the 
 synagogue on the sabbath-day, and stood up for to read. 
 
 17 And there was delivered unto him the book 
 of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened 
 the book, he found the place where it was written, 
 
 18 'The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he 
 hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; 
 he hath sent me to heal the broken-hearted, to preach 
 deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight 
 to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 
 
 19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. 
 
 20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to 
 the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them 
 that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. 
 
 ■ 21 And he began to say unto them, This day is 
 this scripture fulfilled in yom ears. 
 
 22 And all bare him witness, and r wondered at 
 the gracious words which proceeded out of his 
 mcuth. And they said, 'Is not this Joseph's son? 
 
 23 And he said unto them, Ye will surely say 
 unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself; what- 
 soever we have heard done in ' Capernaum, do also 
 here in " thy country. 
 
 24 And he said, Verily I say unto you, No 'pro- 
 phet is accepted in his own country. 
 
 25 But I tell you of a truth, y many widows were 
 in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was 
 shut up three years and six months, when great 
 famine was throughout all the land : 
 
 26 But unto none of them was Elias sent, save 
 unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that 
 was a widow.

 He casteth out an evU spint 
 
 of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was 
 cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian. 
 
 28 And all they in the synagogue, when they 
 heard these things, were fdled with wrath, 
 
 29 And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and 
 led him unto the || brow of the hill, (whereon their city 
 was built,) that they might cast him down headlong. 
 
 30 But he "passing through the midst of them, 
 went his way, 
 
 31 And *came down to Capernaum, a city of 
 Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath-da.^ s. 
 
 32 And they were astonished at his doctrine: 'for 
 his word was with power. 
 
 33 If And in the synagogue there was a man 
 which had a spirit of an unclean devil; and he cried 
 out with a loud voice, 
 
 34 Saying, || Let us alone; what have we to do 
 with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come 
 to destroy us? 'I know thee who thou art, Ahe 
 Holy One of God. 
 
 35 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, 
 and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown 
 him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not. 
 
 36 And they were all amazed, and spake among 
 themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with 
 authority and power he commandeth the unclean 
 spirks, and they come out. 
 
 37 And the fame of him went out into every 
 place of the country round about. 
 
 38 U^And he arose out of the synagogue, and 
 entered into Simon's house. And Simons wife's 
 mother was taken with a great fever; and they 
 besought him for her. 
 
 39 And he stood over her, and rebuked the 
 fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose 
 and ministered unto them. 
 
 40 IT ''Now when the sun was setting, all they that 
 had any sick with divers diseases, brought them 
 unto him : and he laid his hands on every one of 
 them, and healed them. 
 
 41 'And devils also came out of many, crying 
 out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God. 
 And * he rebuking them, suffered them not || to speak : 
 for they knew that he was Christ. 
 
 42 And 'when it was day, he departed, and went 
 into a desert place; and the people sought him, and 
 came unto him, and stayed him, that he should not 
 depart from them. 
 
 43 And he said unto them, I must preach the king- 
 dom of God to other cities also, for therefore am I sent. 
 
 44 m And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee.

 1 Christ teacheth out of Peter's ship. 4 A miraculous draught of fishes. 
 12 A leper cleansed. 18 The palsy healed. 27 Levi called from the 
 receipt of custom. 
 
 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 he entered into one of the ships, which 
 was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust 
 out a little from the land. And he sat down, and 
 taught the people out of the ship. 
 
 4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto 
 Simon, 'Launch out into the deep, and let down 
 your nets for a draught. 
 
A leper cleansed. 
 
 5 And Simon answering, said unto him, Master, 
 we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing; 
 nevertheless, at thy word, I will let down the net. 
 
 6 And when they had this done, they enclosed a 
 great multitude of fishes: and their net brake. 
 
 7 And they beckoned unto their partners, which 
 were in the other ship, that they should come and 
 help them. And they came, and filled both the 
 ships, so that they began to sink. 
 
 o When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' 
 knees, saying, 'Depart from me; for I am a sinful 
 man, Lord. 
 
 9 For he was astonished, and all that were with 
 him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken : 
 
 10 And so was also James and John the sons of 
 Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And 
 Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not: ''from henceforth 
 thou shalt catch men. 
 
 11 And when they had brought their ships to 
 land, 'they forsook all, and followed him. 
 
 12 VAnd it came to pass, when he was in a cer- 
 tain city, behold, a man full of leprosy: who seeing 
 Jesus, fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, 
 ..f thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. 
 
 13 And he put forth his hand and touched him, 
 saying, I will : Be thou clean. And immediately 
 the leprosy departed from him. 
 
 14 *And he charged him to tell no man : but go, 
 and shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy 
 cleansing, h according as Moses commanded, for a 
 testimony unto them. 
 
 15 But so much the more went there a fame abroad 
 of him: 'and great multitudes came together to hear 
 and to be healed by him of their infirmities. 
 
 16 IPAnd he withdrew himself into the wilderness, 
 and prayed. 
 
 li And it came to pass on a certain day, as he 
 was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors 
 of the law sitting by, which were come out of every 
 town of Galilee, and Judea, and Jerusalem : and the 
 power of the Lord was present to heal them. 
 
 18 IT 'And behold, men brought in a bed a man 
 which was taken with a palsy: and they sought 
 means to bring him in, and to lay Mm before him. 
 
 19 And when they could not find by what ivay they 
 might bring him in, because of the multitude, they 
 went upon the house-top, and let him down through 
 the tiling with his couch, into the midst before Jesus. 
 
 20 And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, 
 Man, thy sins are forgiven thee. 
 
 21 '"And the scribes and the Pharisees began to 
 reason, saying, Who is this which speaketh blasphe- 
 mies ? " Who can forgive sins but God alone ? 
 
 22 But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he 
 answering, said unto them, What reason ye in your 
 hearts ? 
 
 23 Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be for- 
 given thee ; or to say, Rise up and walk ? 
 
 24 But that ye may know that the Son of man 
 hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto 
 the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and 
 tike up thy couch, and go unto thine house. 
 
 25 And immediately he rose up before them, and 
 took up that Avhereon he lay, and departed to his 
 own house, glorifying God. 
 
 26 And they were all amazed, and they glorified 
 God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen 
 strange things to-da}

 27 1F°And after these things he went forth, and 
 saw a publican named Levi, sitting at the receipt 
 of custom : and he said unto him, Follow me. 
 
 28 And he left all, rose up, and followed him. 
 
 29 'And Levi made him a great feast in hi.s own 
 house; and ''there was a great company of pub- 
 licans, and of others that sat down with them. 
 
 30 But their scribes and Pharisees murmured 
 against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and 
 drink with publicans and sinners? 
 
 31 And Jesus answering, said unto them, Ihey 
 that are whole need not a physician ; but they that 
 are sick. 
 
 32 r I came not to call the righteous, but sinners 
 to repentance. 
 
 33 IfAud they said unto him, 'Why do the disci- 
 ples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise 
 the disciples of the Pharisees ; but thine eat and drink ? 
 
 34 And he said unto them, Can ye make the chil- 
 dren of the bride-chamber fast while the bridegroom 
 is with them? 
 
 35 But the days will come, when the bridegroom 
 shall be taken away from them, and then shall they 
 fast in those days.

 man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old : 
 if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and 
 the piece that was taken out of the new, agreeth not 
 with the old. 
 
 37 And no man putteth neAV wine into old bot- 
 tles ; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and 
 be spilled, and the bottles shall perish. 
 
 38 But new wine must be put into new bottles, 
 and both are preserved.

 way desireth new : for he saith, The old is better.

 AND a it came to pass on the second sabbath after 
 the first, that he went through the corn-fields ; 
 and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did 
 eat, rubbing them in their hands. 
 
 2 And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, 
 Why do ye that 'which is not lawful to do on the 
 sabbath-days ? 
 
 3 And Jesus answering them, said, Have ye not 
 read so much as this, 'what David did, when himself* 
 was an hungered, and they which were with him ; 
 
 4 How he went into the house of God, and did 
 take and eat the shew-bread, and gave also to them 
 that were with him, ''which it is not lawful to eat 
 but for the priests alone ? 
 
 . 5 And he said unto them, That the Son of man 
 is Lord also of the sabbath. 
 
 6 'And it came to pass also on another sabbath, 
 that he entered 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 on the sabbath-day; that they 
 might find an accusation against him. 
 
 8 But he knew their thoughts, and said to the 
 man which had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand 
 forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth. 
 
 9 Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one 
 thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath-days to do good, 
 or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it?

The twelve apostles chosen. 
 
 10 And looking round about upon them all, he 
 paid unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he 
 •lid so: and his hand was restored whole as the other. 
 
 11 And they were filled with madness; and com- 
 muned one with another what they might do to Jesus. 
 
 15a •'And it came to pass in those days, that he 
 went out into a mountain to pray, and continued 
 all night in prayer to God. 
 
 13 *li And when it was day, he called unto Mm his 
 disciples: *and of them he chose twelve, whom also 
 he named Apostles; 
 
 14 Simon (''whom he also named Peter) and An- 
 drew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bar- 
 tholomew. 
 
 15 Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Al- 
 pheus, and Simon called Zelotes, 
 
 16 And Judas Hhe brother of James, and Judas 
 [scariot, which also was the traitor. 
 
 17 IT And he came down with them, and stood in 
 the plain ; and the company of his disciples, * and a 
 great multitude of people out of all Judea and Jeru- 
 salem, and from the sea-coast of Tyre and Sidon, 
 which came to hear him, and to be "healed of their 
 diseases ; 
 
 18 And they that were vexed with unclean 
 spirits : and they were healed. 
 
 19 And the whole multitude 'sought to touch him ; 
 for "'there went virtue out of him, and healed them all. 
 
 20 IF And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, 
 and said, "Blessed be ye poor; for yours is the king- 
 dom of God. 
 
 21 "Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall 
 be filled. p Blessed are ye that weep now : for ye 
 shall laugh. 
 
 22 ''Blessed are ye when men shall hate you, 
 and when they r shall separate you from their com- 
 vany, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name 
 as evil, for the Son of man's sake. 
 
 23 'Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for 
 behold, your reward is great in heaven: for 'in the 
 like manner did their fathers unto the prophets. 
 
 24 "But wo unto you •''that are rich! for y ye 
 have received your consolation. 
 
 25 'Wo unto you that are full! for ye shall hun- 
 ger. "Wo unto you that laugh now! for ye shall 
 mourn and weep. 
 
 26 6 Wo unto you, Avhen ail men shall speak well 
 of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets. 
 
 27 IP But I say unto you which hear, Love your 
 enemies, do good to them which hate } r ou, 
 
 28 Bless them that curse you, and "pray for them 
 which despitefully use you. 
 
 29 'And untj him that smiteth thee on the one 
 cheek, offer also the other; ■'and him that taketh 
 away thy cloak, forbid not to take thy coat also. 
 
 30 e Gfive to every man that asketh of thee ; and of 
 him that taketh away thy goods, ask them not again. 
 
 31 A And as ye would that men should do to you, 
 do ye also to them likewise. 
 
 32 'For if ye love them which love you, what 
 thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love 
 them. 
 
 33 And if ye do good to them which do good to 
 you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even 
 the same. 
 
 34 *And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to 
 receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend 
 to sinners, to receive as much again.

 Of loving our enemies* &c. 
 
 35 But 'love ye your enemies, and do good, and 
 m lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward 
 shall be great, and "ye shall be the children of the 
 Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to 
 the evil. 
 
 36 "Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also 
 is merciful. 
 
 37 ''Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: con 
 demn not, and ye shall not be condemned : forgive, 
 and ye shall be forgiven : 
 
 3$ 'Give, and it shall be given unto you; good 
 measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and 
 running over, shall men give into your 'bosom. For 
 'with the same measure that ye mete withal, it shall 
 be measured to you again. 
 
 39 And he spake a parable unto them; 'Can the 
 blind lead the blind ? shall they not both fall intc 
 the ditch ? 
 
 40 "The disciple is not above his master: but 
 every one || that is perfect, shall be as his master. 
 
 41 * And why beholdest thou the mote that is in 
 thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that 
 is in thine own eye? 
 
 42 Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Bro- 
 ther, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, 
 when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in 
 thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, y cast out first the 
 beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see 
 clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye. 
 
 43 z For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit 
 neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 
 
 44 For " every tree is known by his own fruit : for 
 of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble- 
 bush gather they fgi'apes. 
 
 45 4 A good man out of the good treasure of his 
 heart, bringeth forth that which is good; and an 
 evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart, bring- 
 eth forth that which is evil: for c of the abundance 
 of the heart his mouth speaketh. 
 
 46 TI^And why call ye me Lord, Lord, and do 
 not the things which I say ? 
 
 47 'Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my 
 sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom 
 he is like. 
 
 48 He is like a man which built an house, and 
 digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock : and 
 when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently 
 upon that house, and could not shake it : for it was 
 founded upon a rock. 
 
 49 But he that heareth and doeth not, is like a 
 man that without a foundation built an house upon 
 the earth, against which the stream did beat vehe- 
 mently, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that 
 house was great.

 1 The centurion'' s faith ; 10 Christ healelh his servant, being absent, 
 11 raiseth the widow's son. 24 Christ's testimony of John. 36 Mazy 
 Magdalene anointeth Christ's feet. 
 
 NOW when he had ended all his sayings in the an- 
 dienceof the people, "heentered into Capernaum. 
 
 2 And a certain centurion's servant, who was 
 dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die. 
 
 3 And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him 
 the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would 
 come and heal his servant. 
 
 4 And when they came to Jesus, they besought 
 him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom 
 he should do this : 
 
Christ miseth the widows son. 
 
 5 For he loveth our nation, and lie hath built us 
 a synagogue. 
 
 6 Then Jesus went with them. And when he was 
 now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends 
 to him, saying unto 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 unto thee; but say in a word, and my servant 
 shall be healed. 
 
 8 For I also am a man set under authority, having 
 under me soldiers, and I say unto f one, Go, and he 
 goeth ; and to another, Come, and he cometh ; and 
 to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. 
 
 9 When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled 
 at him, and turned him about and said unto the 
 people that followed him, I say unto you, I have 
 not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. 
 
 10 And they that were sent, returning to the 
 house, found the servant whole that had been sick. 
 
 11 II And it came to pass the day after, that he 
 went into a city called Nain : and many of his dis- 
 ciples went with him, and much people. 
 
 12 Now when he came nigh to 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 
 much people of the city was with her. 
 
 13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compas- 
 sion on her, and said unto her, Weep not. 
 
 14 And he came and touched the || bier : and they 
 that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, 
 I say unto thee, * Arise. 
 
 15 And he that was dead sat up, and began to 
 speak: and he delivered him to his mother. 
 
 16 'And there came a fear on all: and they glo- 
 rified God, saying, ''That a great prophet is risen up 
 among us; and, 'That God hath visited his people. 
 
 17 And this rumour of him went forth throughout 
 all Judea, and throughout all the region round about. 
 
 18 •/'And the disciples of John shewed him of all 
 these things. 
 
 19 IT And John, calling unto him two of his disci- 
 ples, sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that 
 should come ? or look we for another ? 
 
 20 When the men were come unto him, they said, 
 John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying. Art thou 
 he that should come? or look we for another? 
 
 21 And in that same hour he cured many of 
 their infirmities, and plagues, and of evil spirits ; and 
 unto many that were blind he gave sight. 
 
 22 *Then Jesus answering, said unto them, Go 
 your way, and tell John what things ye have seen 
 and heard; A how that the blind see, the lame walk, 
 the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are 
 raised, 'to the poor the gospel is preached. 
 
 23 And blessed is he. whosoever shall not be 
 otlonded in me. 
 
 24 1F fc And when the messengers of John were de- 
 parted, he began to speak unto the people concern- 
 ing John, What went ye out into the wilderness for 
 to see? A reed shaken with the wind? 
 
 25 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed 
 in soft raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously 
 apparelled, and live delicately, are in king's courts. 
 
 26 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? 
 Yea. I say unto you, and much more than a prophet. 
 
 27 This is he, of whom it is written, 'Behold, I 
 send my messenger before thy face, which shall pre- 
 pare thy way before thee.

 28 For I say unto you, Among those that are 
 bom of women, there is not a greater prophet than 
 John the Baptist: but he that is least in the king- 
 dom of God, is greater than he. 
 
 29 And all the people that heard him, and the 
 publicans, justified God, ""being baptized with the 
 baptism of John. 
 
 30 But the Pharisees and lawyers II rejected "the 
 counsel of God || against themselves, being not bap- 
 tized of him. 
 
 31 IF And the Lord said, "Whereunto then shall I 
 liken the men of this generation? and to what are 
 they like? 
 
 32 They are like unto children sitting in the mar 
 ket-place, and calling one to another, and saying, 
 We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced ; 
 we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept. 
 
 33 For 7 ' John the Baptist came neither eating bread, 
 nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil. 
 
 34 The Son of man is come eating and drinking, 
 and ye say. Behold a gluttonous man, and a wine- 
 bibber,, a friend of publicans and sinners ! 
 
 35 ? But Wisdom is justified of all her children. 
 
 36 IF' And one of the Pharisees desired him that 
 he would eat with him. And he went into th* 
 Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat. 
 
 37 And behold, a woman in the city, which was 
 a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in 
 the Pharisee's house, brought an aHbaster-box of 
 ointment, 
 
 38 And stood at his feet behind him weeping, 
 and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe 
 them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, 
 and anointed them with the ointment. 
 
 39 Now when the Pharisee which had bidden 
 him, saw it, he spake within himself, saying, 'This 
 man, if he were a prophet, would have known who, 
 and what manner of woman this is that toucheth 
 him : for she is a sinner. 
 
 40 And Jesus answering, said unto him, Simon, 
 I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, 
 Master, say on. 
 
 41 There was a certain creditor, which had two 
 debtors : the one owed five hundred || pence, and the 
 other fifty. 
 
 42 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly 
 forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of 
 them will love him most? 
 
 43 Simon answered and said. I suppose that he % 
 to whom he forgave most. And h« said unto him, 
 Thou hast rightly judged. 
 
 44 And he turned to the woman, and said unco 
 Simon, Seest thou this woman ? I entered into thine 
 house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but 
 she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them 
 with the hairs of her head. 
 
 45 Thou gavest me no kiss : but this woman, since 
 the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet. 
 
 46 'Mine head with oil thou didst not anoint: but 
 this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment. 
 
 47 " Wherefore, I say unto thee, Her sins which 
 are many, are forgiven ; for she loved much :' but to 
 whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little. 
 
 48 And he said unto her, 'Thy sins are forgivea 
 
 49 And they that sat at meat with him, began to say 
 within themselves, y Who is this that forgiveth sins also? 
 
 50 And he said to the woman, *Thy faith hatt) 
 sa . ed thee ; go in peace.

'Hue, parable of the sower. 
 
 CHAP. VIII. 
 
 />*vout women minister unto Chri.it. 4 The parable of the sower 1C and 
 of the candle. 26 The legion of devils cast out, $c. 
 
 AND it came to pass afterward, that he went 
 throughout every city and village, preaching 
 and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of 
 Grod : and the twelve were with him. 
 
 2 And "certain women, which had been healed of 
 evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, 
 •out of whom went seven devils, 
 
 3 And Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod's stew- 
 ard, and Susanna, and many others, which minis- 
 tered unto him of their substance. 
 
 4 II c And when much people were gathered to- 
 gether, and were come to him out of every city, he 
 spake by a parable : 
 
 5 A sower went out to sow his seed : and as he 
 sowed, some fell by the way-side; and it was trod- 
 den down, and the fowls of the air devoured it. 
 
 6 And some fell upon a rock ; and as soon as it 
 was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked 
 moisture. 
 
 7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns 
 sprang up with it, and choked it. 
 
 8 And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, 
 and bare fruit an hundred-fold. And when he had 
 said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to 
 hear, let him hear. 
 
 9 d And his disciples asked him, saying, What 
 might this parable be? 
 
 10 And he said, Unto you it is given to know 
 the mysteries of the kingdom of God : but to others 
 in parables; 'that seeing they might not see, and 
 hearing they might not understand. 
 
 11 •''Now the parable is this: The seed is the 
 word of God. 
 
 12 Those by the way-side, are they that hear; 
 then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word 
 out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be 
 saved. 
 
 13 They on the rock are they, which, when they 
 hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no 
 root, which for a while believe, and in time of 
 temptation fall away. 
 
 14 And that which fell among thorns, are they, 
 which, when they have heard, go forth, and are 
 choked with cares, and riches, and pleasures of this 
 lite, and bring no fruit to perfection. 
 
 15 But that on the good ground are they, which 
 in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, 
 keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience. 
 
 16 11* No man, when he hath lighted a candle, 
 covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed ; 
 but setteth it on a candle-stick, that they which 
 enier in may see the light. 
 
 17 A For nothing is secret, that shall not be made 
 manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be 
 known, and come abroad. 
 
 18 Take heed therefore how ye hear: 'for who- 
 soever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever 
 hath not, from him shall be taken even that which 
 he II seemeth to have. 
 
 L9 If* Then came to him his mother and his breth- 
 ren, and could not come at him for the press. 
 
 20 And it was told him by certain, which said, 
 Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desir-

 22 IT 'Now it came to pass on a certain day, that 
 he went into a ship with his disciples : and he said 
 unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of 
 the lake. And they launched forth. 
 
 23 But as they sailed he fell asleep : and there 
 came down a storm of wind on the lake ; and the\ 
 were filled with ivater, and were in jeopardy. 
 
 24 And they came to him, and awoke him, say- 
 ing, Master, Master, we perish. Then he arose, and 
 rebuked the wind, and tne raging of the water : and 
 they ceased, and there was a calm. 
 
 25 And he said unto them, Where is your faith ? 
 And they being afraid, wondered, saying one to 
 another, What manner of man is this ! for he com- 
 mandeth even the winds and water, and they obey 
 him. 
 
 26 II m And they arrived at the country of the 
 Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee. 
 
 27 And when he went forth to land, there met 
 him out of the city a certain man, which had devils 
 long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any 
 house, but in the tombs. 
 
 28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell 
 down before him, and with a loud voice said, What 
 have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most 
 high? I beseech thee, torment me not. 
 
 29 (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to 
 come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught 
 him: and he was kept bound with chains, and in 
 fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of 
 the devil into the wilderness.) 
 
 30 And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy 
 name? And he said, Legion: because many devils 
 were entered into him. 
 
 31 And they besought him that he would not 
 command them to go out "into the deep. 
 
 32 And there was there an herd of many swine 
 feeding on the mountain: and they besought him 
 that he would suffer them to enter into them. And 
 he suffered them. 
 
 33 Then went the devils out of the man, and en- 
 tered into the swine: and the herd ran violently 
 down a steep place into the lake, and were choked. 
 
 34 When they that fed them saw what was done, 
 they fled, and went and told it in the city and in 
 the country. 
 
 35 Then they went out to see what was done; and 
 came to Jesus, and found the man out of whom the 
 devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, 
 clothed, and in his right mind : and they were afraid. 
 
 36 They also that saw it, told them by what 
 means he that was possessed of the devils was healed 
 
 37 H'Then the whole multitude of the country of 
 the Gadarenes round about, ; ' besought him to depart 
 from them; for they were taken with great fear. And 
 he went up into the ship, and returned back again, 
 
 38 Now, 'the man out of whom the devils weie 
 departed, besought him that he might be with him. 
 But Jesus sent him away, saying, 
 
 39 Return to thine own house, and shew how 
 great things God hath done unto thee. And he 
 went his way and published throughout the whole 
 city, how great things Jesus had done unto him. 
 
 40 And it came to pass, that, when Jesus way 
 returned, the people gladly received him : for they 
 were all waiting for him. 
 
Christ healeih the bloody issue. 
 
 41 11 r And behold, there came a man named 
 Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue : and 
 ne fell down at Jesus' feet, and besought him that 
 he would come into his house : 
 
 42 For he had one only daughter, about twelve 
 years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went, 
 the people thronged him. 
 
 43 II 'And a woman having an issue of blood 
 twelve years, which had spent all her living upon 
 physicians, neither could be healed of any, 
 
 44 Came behind him and touched the border of 
 his garment: and immediately her issue of blood 
 stanched. 
 
 45 And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all 
 denied, Peter, and they that were with him, said, 
 Master, the multitude throng thee, and press thee, 
 and sayest thou, Who touched me? 
 
 46 And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: 
 for I perceive that 'virtue is gone out of me. 
 
 47 And when the woman saw that she was not 
 hid. she came trembling, and falling down before 
 him, she declared unto him before all the people 
 for what cause she had touched him, and how she 
 was healed immediately. 
 
 48 And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good 
 comfort : thy faith hath made thee whole ; go in peace. 
 
 49 IF" While he yet spake, there cometh one from 
 the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, 
 Thy daughter is dead : trouble not the Master. 
 
 50 But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, 
 tjaying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be 
 made whole. 
 
 51 And when he came into the house, he suffered 
 no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, 
 and the father and the mother of the maiden. 
 
 52 And all wept and bewailed her : but he said, 
 Weep not: she is not dead, ^but sleepeth. 
 
 53 And they laughed him to scorn, knowing 
 that she was dead. 
 
 54 And he put them all out, and took her by the 
 hand, and called, saying, Maid, v arise. 
 
 55 And her spirit came again, and she arose 
 straightway: and he commanded to give her meat. 
 
 56 And her parents were astonished : but * he 
 charged them that they should tell no man what 
 was done.

 8 And of some, that Elias had appeared ; and of 
 others, that one of the old prophets was risen again 
 
 9 And Herod said, John have I beheaded ; but 
 who is this of whom I hear such things ? 'And h« 
 desired to see him. 
 
 10 If *And the apostles, when they were returned, 
 told him all that they had done. 'And he took 
 them, and went aside privately into a desert place 
 belonging to the city called Bethsaida. 
 
 11 And the people, when they knew it, followed 
 him : and he received them, and spake unto them 
 of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had 
 need of healing. 
 
 12 m And when the day began to wear away, then 
 came the twelve, and said unto him, Send the mul- 
 titude away, that they may go into the towns aud 
 country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: 
 for we are here in a desert place. 
 
 13 But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat 
 And they said, We have no more but five loaves and 
 two fishes ; except we should go and buy meat for 
 all this people. 
 
 14 (For they were about five thousand men.) 
 And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down 
 by fifties in a company. 
 
 15 And they did so, and made them all sit down. 
 
 16 Then he took the five loaves, and the two 
 fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, 
 and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before 
 the multitude. 
 
 17 And they did eat, and were all filled : and 
 there was taken up of fragments that remained to 
 them twelve baskets. 
 
 18 IT "And it came to pass, as he was alone pray- 
 ing, his disciples were with him ; and he asked them, 
 saying, Whom say the people that I am ? 
 
 19 They answering said, "John the Baptist; but 
 some say, Elias ; and others say, that one of the old 
 prophets is risen again. 
 
 20 He said unto them, But whom say ye that I 
 am? p Peter answering, said, The Christ of God. 
 
 21 ? And he straitly charged them, and com- 
 manded them to tell no man that thing. 
 
 22 Saying, r The Son of man must suffer many 
 things, and be rejected of the elders, and chief priests, 
 and sci'ibes,and be slain, and be raised thft third day. 
 
 23 IF 'And he said to them all, If any man will 
 come after me, let him deny himself, and take up 
 his cross daily, and follow me. 
 
 24 For whosoever will save his life, shall lose it; 
 but whosoever Avill lose his life for my sake, the 
 same shall save it. 
 
 25 'For Avhat is a man advantaged, if he gain the 
 whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away? 
 
 26 "For whosoever shall be ashamed of me, and 
 of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, 
 when he shall come in his own glory, and in his 
 Father's, and of the holy angels. 
 
 27 ^But I tell you of a truth, there be some 
 standing here which shall not taste of death till 
 they see the kingdom of God. 
 
 28 IPAnd it came to pass, about an eight days 
 after these || sayings, he took Peter, and John, and 
 James, and went up into a mountain to pray. 
 
 29 And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance 
 was altered, and his raiment tvas white and glistering. 
 
 30 And behold, there talked with him two men, 
 which were Moses and Elias: 
 
 ma 
 
The lunatic healed. 
 
 31 Who appeared in glory, and spake of his de- 
 cease wnich he should accomplish at Jerusalem. 
 
 32 But Peter and they that were with him *were 
 heavy with sleep : and when they were awake, they 
 saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him. 
 
 33 And it came to pass, as they departed from 
 him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for 
 us to he here: and let us make three tabernacles; 
 one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: 
 not knowing what he said. 
 
 34 While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and 
 overshadowed them : and they feared as they enter- 
 ed into the cloud. 
 
 35 And there came a voice out of the cloud, say- 
 ing, "This is my beloved Son: b hear him. 
 
 36 And when the voice was past, Jesus was found 
 alone. 'And they kept it close, and told no man in 
 those days any of those things which they had seen. 
 
 37 If And it came to pass, that on the next day, 
 when they were come down from the hill, much peo- 
 ple met him. 
 
 38 And behold, a man of the company cried out, 
 saying, Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son: 
 for he is mine only child. 
 
 39 And lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly 
 crieth out : and it teareth him that he foameth again, 
 and bruising him, hardly departeth from him. 
 
 40 And I besought thy disciples to cast him out, 
 and they could not. 
 
 41 And Jesus answering, said, faithless and 
 perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, 
 and suffer you? Bring thy son hither. 
 
 42 And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw 
 him down, and tare him. And Jesus rebuked the 
 andean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered 
 him again to his father. 
 
 43 M And they were all amazed at the mighty power 
 of God. But while they wondered every one at all 
 things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples, 
 
 44 e Let these sayings sink down into your ears: 
 for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands 
 of men. 
 
 45 •'But they understood not this saying, and it 
 was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and 
 they feared to ask him of that saying. 
 
 46 TT^Then there arose a reasoning among them, 
 which of them should be greatest. 
 
 47 And Jesus perceiving the thought of their 
 heart, took a child, and set him b} r him, 
 
 48 And said unto them, ''Whosoever shall receive 
 this child in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever 
 shall receive me, receiveth him that sent me: 'for he 
 that is least among you all, the same shall be great.

 Seventy disciples sent out 
 
 fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, 
 even as • Elias did ? 
 
 55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, 
 Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. 
 
 56 For ''the Son of man is not come to destroy 
 men's lives, but to save them. And they went to 
 another village. 
 
 57 H«And it came to pass, that as they went in 
 the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will 
 follow thee whithersoever thou goest. 
 
 58 And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, 
 and birds of the air have nests; but the Son cf man 
 hath not where to lay his head. 
 
 59 r And he said unto another, Follow me. But 
 he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. 
 
 60 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their 
 dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. 
 
 61 And another also said, Lord, 'I will follow 
 thee : but let me first go bid them farewell which 
 are at home at my house. 
 
 62 And Jesus said unto him, No man haviiig put 
 his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for 
 the kingdom of God. 
 
 CHAP. X. 
 
 1 Christ sendelh out seventy disciples. 12 Woes against Chorazin, Bethsaida, 
 and Capernaum. 38 Mary commended, $c. 
 
 AFTER these things, the Lord appointed other 
 seventy also, and "sent them two and two be- 
 fore his face into every city, and place, whither ho 
 himself would come. 
 
 2 Therefore said he unto them, b The harvest truly 
 is great, but the labourers are few: c pray ye there- 
 fore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send 
 forth labourers into his harvest. 
 
 3 Go your ways: ''behold, I send you forth as 
 lambs among wolves. 
 
 4 'Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and 
 ■'salute no man by the way. 
 
 5 ? And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, 
 Peace be to this house. 
 
 6 And if the Son of peace be there, your peace 
 shall rest upon it; if not, it shall turn to you again. 
 
 7 A And in the same house remain, 'eating and 
 drinking such things as they give: for Hhe labourer 
 is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house. 
 
 8 And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they 
 receive you, eat such things as are set before you. 
 
 9 'And heal the sick that are therein, and say 
 unto them, m The kingdom of God is come nigh unto 
 you.' 
 
 10 But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they 
 receive you not. go your ways out into the streets 
 of the same, and say, 
 
 11 " Even the very dust of your city which cleav- 
 eth on us, we do Avipe off against you: notwith- 
 standing, be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of 
 God is come nigh unto you. 
 
 12 But I say unto you, That "it shall be more tol- 
 erable in that day for Sodom than for that city. 
 
 13 'Wo unto thee, Chorazin! wo unto thee, Beth- 
 saida! ? for if the mighty works had been done in 
 Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they 
 had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth 
 and ashes. 
 
 14 But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and 
 Sidon at the judgment, than for you. 
 
 15 r And thou, Capernaum, wnich art 'exalted to 
 heaven, 'shalt be thrust down to hell. 
 
Row to attain eternal life. 
 
 16 "He that heareth vou, hcareth me; and *'he 
 that despiseth you, despiseth me; ^and he that de- 
 spiseth me, despiseth him that sent me. 
 
 17 HAnd Hhe seventy returned again with joy, 
 saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us 
 through thy name. 
 
 18 And he said unto, them, "I beheld Satan as 
 lightning fall from heaven. 
 
 19 Behold, *I give unto }'ou power to tread on 
 serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the 
 enemy : and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 
 
 20 Notwithstanding, in this rejoice not, that the 
 spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, be- 
 cause "your names are written in heaven. 
 
 21 H d In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, 
 I lhank thee, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, 
 that thou hast hid these things from the wise and 
 prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes : even 
 so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight. 
 
 22 '|| All things are delivered to me of my Father: 
 and ^no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Fa- 
 ther; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he 
 to whom the Son will reveal him. 
 
 23 IT And he turned him unto his disciples, and 
 said privately, e Blessed are the eyes which see the 
 things that ye see. , 
 
 24 For I tell you, Hhat many prophets and kings 
 have desired to see those things which ye see, and 
 have not seen them; and to hear those things which 
 ye hear, and have not heard them. 
 
 25 HAnd behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and 
 tempted him, saying, 'Master, what shall I do to 
 inherit eternal lite? 
 
 26 He said unto him, What is written in the law ? 
 how readest thou? 
 
 27 And he answering said, *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 unto him, Thou hast answered 
 right : this do, and m thou shalt live. 
 
 29 But he, willing to "justify himself, said unto 
 Jesus, And who is my neighbour? 
 
 30 And Jesus answering, said, A certain man went 
 down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among 
 thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and 
 wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. 
 
 31 And by chance there came down a certain 
 riest that way; and when he saw him, "he passed 
 y on the other side. 
 
 32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the 
 place, came and looked on him, and passed by on 
 the other side. 
 
 33 But a certain p Samaritan, as he journeyed, 
 came where he was : and when he saw him, he had 
 compassion on him, 
 
 34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, 
 pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, 
 and brought him to an inu, and took care of him. 
 
 35 And on the morrow, when he departed, he took 
 out two || pence, and gave them to the host, and said 
 unto him, Take care of him : and whatsoever thou 
 spendest more, when I come again, 1 will repay thee. 
 
 36 WhiJi now of these three, thinkest thou, was 
 neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves ? 
 
 37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. 
 Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

 39 And she had a sister called Mary, 'which 
 also 'sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word. 
 
 40 But Martha was cumbered about much serv-

 care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid 
 her therefore that she help me.

 many things : 
 
 42 But 'one thing is needful; and Mary hath 
 chosen that good part, which shall not be taken 
 away from her. 
 
 CHAP. XL 
 
 2 Christ teacheth to pray ; 14 he caslelh out a dumb devil ; 27 he sheweth 
 who are truly blessed ; 29 he preacheth to tht people, 37 and reproveth 
 the Pharisees' outward shew of holiness, Jfc. 
 
 AND it came to pass, that as he was praying in 
 a certain place, when he ceased, one of his 
 disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as 
 John also taught his disciples. 
 
 2 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, 
 "Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy 
 name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as 
 in heaA r en, so in earth. 
 
 3 Give us || day by day our daily bread. 
 
 4 And forgive us our sins ; for Ave also forgive 
 every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not 
 into temptation; but deliver us from evil. 
 
 5 And he said unto them, Which of you shall 
 have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, 
 and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves : 
 
 6 For a friend of mine II in his journey is come 
 to me, and I have nothing to set before him? 
 
 7 And he from within shall answer and sa} r , Trou- 
 ble me not: the door is now shut, and my children 
 are with me in bed ; I cannot rise and give thee. 
 
 8 I say unto you, * Though he will not rise and 
 give him, because he is his friend, yet because of 
 his importunity he will rise and give him as many 
 as he needeth. 
 
 9 'And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall b/» 
 given you; seeK, and ye shall find; knock, and it 
 shall be opened unto you. 
 
 10 For every one that asketh, receiveth ; and he 
 that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, it 
 shall be opened. 
 
 11 ''If a son shall ask bread of any of you that 
 is a father, will he give him a stone ? or if he ask a 
 fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? 
 
 12 Or if be shall ask an egg, will he f offer him 
 a scorpion? 
 
 13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good 
 gifts unto your children : how much more shall your 
 heavenly lather give the Holy Spirit to them that 
 ask him? 
 
 14 H e And he was casting out a devil and it was 
 dumb. And it came to pass when the devil was gone 
 out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered. 
 
 15 But some of them said, -^He casteth out devils 
 through f Beelzebub, the chief of the devils. 
 
 16 And others tempting him, g sought of him a 
 sign from heaven. 
 
 17 ''But 'he, knowing their thoughts, said unto 
 them, Every kingdom divided against itself, is 
 brought to desolation; and a house divided against 
 a house, falleth.

Christ preaehcth to the people: 
 
 18 If Satan also be divided against himself, how 
 shall his kingdom stand ? because ye say that I cast 
 out devils through Beelzebub. 
 
 19 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by 
 whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall 
 they be your judges. 
 
 20 But if 1 * with the finger of God cast out devils, 
 no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon yon. 
 
 21 'When a strong man armed keepeth his 
 palace, his goods are in peace : 
 
 22 But m when a stronger than he shall come upon 
 him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his 
 armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils. 
 
 23 n He that is not with me is against me : and 
 he that gathereth not with me scattereth. 
 
 24 "When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, 
 he walketh through dry places, seeking rest : and 
 finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house 
 whence I came out. 
 
 25 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and 
 garnished. 
 
 26 Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other 
 spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, 
 and dwell there : and p the last state of that man is 
 worse than the first. 
 
 27 IF And it came to pass, as he spake these things, 
 a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, 
 and said unto him, "Blessed is the womb that bare 
 thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked. 
 
 28 But he said, Yea, r rather blessed are they that 
 hear the word of God, and keep it. 
 
 29 IF'And when the people were gathered thick 
 together, he began to say, This is an evil generation : 
 they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given 
 it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet. 
 
 30 For as 'Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, 
 so shall also the Son of man be to this generation. 
 
 31 " The queen of the south shal. rise up in the 
 judgment with the men of this generation, and con- 
 demn them : for she came from the utmost parts of 
 the earth, to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and be- 
 hold, a greater than Solomon is here. 
 
 32 The men of Nineveh shall rise up in the judgment 
 with this generation, and shall condemn it: for ^they 
 repented at the preaching of Jonas ; and behold, a 
 greater than Jonas is here. 
 
 33 y No man when he hath lighted a candle, put- 
 teth it in a secret place, neither under a || bushel, 
 but on a candlestick, that they which come in may 
 see the light. 
 
 34 z The light of the body is the eye: therefore 
 when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full 
 of light ; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is 
 full of darkness. 
 
 35 Take heed therefore, that the light which is 
 in thee be not darkness. 
 
 36 If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having 
 no part dark, the whole shall be full of light; as when 
 f the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light. 
 
 _ 37 IF And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought 
 hiin to dine with him : and he went in and sat down 
 to meat. 
 
 38 And "when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled 
 that he had not first washed before dinner. 
 
 39 "And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye 
 Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and tne 
 platter; but 'your inward part is full of ravening 
 and wickedness.

 He reproveth the scribts and Pharisees, 
 
 tO Ye fools, did not he that made that which if 
 without, make that which is within also ? 
 
 41 'But rather give alms || of such things as ye 
 have; and behold, all things are clean unto you. 
 
 42 'But wo unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe 
 mint, and rue, and all manner of herbs, and pass 
 over judgment and the love of God : these ought ye 
 to have done, and not to leave the other undone. 
 
 43 f Wo unto you, Pharisees ! for ye love the 
 uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings 
 in the markets. 
 
 44 *Wo unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypo- 
 crites ! A for ye are as graves which appear not, and 
 the men that walk over them are not aware of them. 
 
 45 IT Then answered one of the lawyers, and said un 
 to him, Master, thus saying, thou reproachestus also 
 
 46 And he said, Wo unto you also, ye lawyers! 
 'for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, 
 and ye yourselves touch not tne burdens with one 
 of your ringers. 
 
 47 'Wo unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of 
 the prophets, and your fathers killed them. 
 
 48 Truly ye bear witness, that ye allow the 
 deeds of your fathers : for they indeed killed them, 
 and ye build their sepulchres. 
 
 49 Therefore also said the .wisdom of God, '1 
 will send them prophets and apostles, and some of 
 them they shall slay and persecute : 
 
 50 That the blood of all the prophets, which was 
 shed from the foundation of the world, may be re- 
 quired of this generation; 
 
 51 m From the blood of Abel unto n the blood of 
 Zacharias, which perished between the altar and 
 the temple : verily I say unto you, It shall be re- 
 quired of this generation. 
 
 52 "Wo unto you, lawyers ! for ye have taken away 
 the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, 
 and them that were entering in ye || hindered. 
 
 53 And as he said these things unto them, the 
 scribes and the Pharisees began to urge him vehe- 
 mently, and to provoke him to speak of many things: 
 
 54 Laying wait for him, and p seeking to catch some- 
 thing out of his mouth, that they might accuse him. 
 
 CHAP. XII.

 and wise steward.

 IN "the mean time, when there were gathered to- 
 gether an innumerable multitude of people, inso- 
 much that they trode one upon another, he began to 
 say unto his disciples first of all, * Beware ye of the 
 leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. 
 
 2 c For there is nothing covered, that shall not be 
 revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. 
 
 3 Therefore, whatsoever ye have spoken in dark 
 ness, shall be heard in the light; and that which ye 
 have spoken in the ear in closets, shall be proclaim- 
 ed upon the house-tops. 
 
 4 rf And I say unto you, 'my friends, Be not afraid 
 of them that kill the body, and after that, have no 
 more that they can do. 
 
 5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: 
 Fear him, which after he hath killed, hath power to 
 cast into hell ; yea, 1 say unto you, Fear him. 
 
 6 Are not five sparrows sold for two || farthings, 
 and not one of them is forgotten before God? 
 
 7 But even the very hairs of your head are all 
 numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more 
 value than many sparrows. 
 
Ajmnsl covclousncss, &c. 
 
 8 /Also I say unto you, Whosoever (shall confess 
 me 1'cfore men, him shall the Son of man also con- 
 fess before the angels of God. 
 
 9 But he that denieth me before men, shall be 
 denied before the angels of God. 
 
 It! And g whosoever shall speak a word against 
 the r$on of man, it shall be forgiven him : but unto 
 hiin that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost, it 
 shall not be forgiven. 
 
 11 *And when they bring you unto the syna- 
 gogues', and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye 
 qo thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or 
 what ye fchall say: 
 
 12 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the 
 same hour what ye ought to say. 
 
 13 II And one of the company said unto him, 
 Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the in- 
 heritance with me. 
 
 14 And he said unto him, 'Man, who made me a 
 judge, or a divider over you ? 
 
 15 And he said unto them, * Take heed, and be- 
 ware of covetousness : for a man's life consisteth not 
 in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. 
 
 16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The 
 ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully : 
 
 17 And he thought within himself, saying, What 
 shall I do, because I have no room where to besto\v 
 my fruits ? 
 
 18 And he said, This will I do : I will pull down 
 my barns, and build greater ; and there will I bestow 
 all my fruits and my goods. 
 
 19 And I will say to my soul, 'Soul, thou hast 
 much goods laid up for many years ; take thine ease, 
 eat, drink, and be merry. 
 
 20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night 
 II m thy soul shall be required of thee : " then whose 
 shall those things be wnich thou hast provided ? 
 
 21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, 
 'and is not rich toward God. 
 
 22 IT And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I 
 say unto you, p Take no thought for your life, what ye 
 shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. 
 
 23 The life is more than meat, and the body is 
 more than raiment. 
 
 24 Consider the ravens : for they neither sow nor 
 reap: which neither have store-house nor barn; and 
 * God feedeth them. How much more are ye better 
 than the fowls? 
 
 25 And which of you with taking thought can 
 add to his stature one cubit? 
 
 26 If ye then be not able to do that thing which 
 is least, why take ye thought for the rest? 
 
 27 Consider the lilies how they grow : they toil not, 
 they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon 
 in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 
 
 28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to-day 
 in the field, and to-morrow is cast into the oven ; how 
 much more wilt he clothe you, ye of little faith ? 
 
 29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what 
 ye shall drink, || neither be ye of doubtful mind. 
 
 30 For all these things do the nations of the 
 world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye 
 have need of these things. 
 
 31 U r But rather seek ye the kingdom of God, 
 and all these things shall be added unto you. 
 
 32 Fear not, little flock: for 'it is your Father's 
 p,ood pleasure to give you the kingdom. 
 
 33 'Sell that ye have, and give alms: "provide

 yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in 
 the heavens that faileth not, where no thief ap» 
 proacheth, neither moth corrupteth. 
 
 34 For where your treasure is, there will your 
 heart be also. 
 
 35 ^Let your loins be girded about, and y yovr 
 lights burning; 
 
 36 And ye yourselves like unto men that wait 
 for their lord, when he will return from the wed 
 ding; that, when he cometh and knocketh, the}' may 
 open unto him immediately. 
 
 37 * Blessed are those servants, whom the lord 
 when he cometh shall find watching: verily, I sa} 
 unto you, That he shall gird himself, and make them 
 to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve 
 them. 
 
 38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or 
 come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed 
 are those servants. 
 
 39 "And this know, that if the good man of the 
 house had known what hour the thief would come, 
 he would have watched, and not have suffered his 
 house to be broken through. 
 
 40 6 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of 
 man cometh at an hour when 3 r e think not. 
 
 41 IT Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest 
 thou this parable unto us, or even to all? 
 
 42 And the Lord said, c Who then is that faithful 
 and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler 
 over his household, to give them their portion of 
 meat in due season? 
 
 43 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when 
 he cometh shall find so doing. 
 
 44 d Of a truth I say unto you, That he will make 
 him ruler over all that he hath. 
 
 45 'But and if that servant say in his heart, My 
 lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat 
 the men-servants, and maidens, and to eat and drink, 
 and to be drunken: 
 
 46 The lord of that servant will come in a day 
 when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when 
 he is not aware, and will || cut him in sunder, and 
 will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. 
 
 47 And-^that servant which knew his lord's will, 
 and prepared not himself, neither did according to 
 his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. 
 
 48 *But he that knew not, and did commit things 
 worth}' of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. 
 For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall 
 be much required; and to whom men have com- 
 mitted much, of him they will ask the more. 
 
 49 IP' I am come to send fire on the earth, and 
 what will I, if it be already kindled ? 
 
 50 But 'I have a baptism to be baptized with; 
 and how am I || straitened till it be accomplished ! 
 
 51 * Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on 
 earth? I tell you, Nay ; 'but rather division- 
 
 52 '"For from henceforth there shall be five m one 
 house divided, three against two, and two against 
 three. 
 
 53 The father shall be divided against the son, 
 and the son against the father; the mother against 
 the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; 
 the mother-in-law 7 against ner daughter-in-law, and 
 the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.

Tlie fruitless fig-tree cursed.

 57 Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not

 58 11 'When thou goest with thine adversary to

 gence that thou may est be delivered from him; lest

 I Christ preacheth repentance by the calamity upon the Galileans and others. 
 
 6 The fruitless fig-tree cursed. 24 The strait gate. 
 
 SPHERE were present at that season some that 
 JL told him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate 
 had mingled with their sacrifices. 
 
 2 And Jesus answering, said unto them, Suppose 
 ye that these Galileans were sinners above all the 
 Galileans, because they suffered such things ? 
 
 3 I tell you, Nay; but, except ye repent, ye 
 shall all likewise perish. 
 
 4 Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in 
 Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were 
 
 II sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? 
 
 5 I tell you, Nay; but, except ye repent, ye 
 cshall all likewise perish. 
 
 6 TIHe spake also this parable: °A certain man 
 Had a fig-tree planted in his vineyard; and he came 
 and sought fruit thereon, and found none. 
 
 7 Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, 
 Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on 
 this 
 bereth it the ground ? 
 
 8 And he answering, said unto 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, then after 
 that thou shalt cut it down. 
 
 10 And he was teaching in one of the synagogues 
 on the sabbath. 
 
 11 IF And behold, there was a woman which had 
 a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed 
 together, and could in no wise lift up herself. 
 
 12 And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, 
 and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from 
 thine infirmity. 
 
 13 6 And he laid his hands on her: and immedi- 
 ately she was made straight, and glorified God. 
 
 14 And the ruler of the synagogue answered with 
 indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the 
 sabbath-day, and said unto the people, e There are six 
 days in which men ought to work : in them therefore 
 come and be healed, and rf not on the sabbath-day. 
 
 15 The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou 
 hypocrite, ' doth not each one of you on the sabbath 
 loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him 
 away to watering? 
 
 16 And ought not this woman, / being a daughter 
 of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these 
 eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the 
 6ab bath-day ? 
 
 17 And when he had said these things, all his ad- 
 versaries were ashamed : and all the people rejoiced 
 for all the glorious things that were done by him.

 18 If* Then said he, Unto what 
 
 is the kingdom 
 of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it? 
 
 19 It is like a grain of mustard-seed, which a 
 man took, and cast into his garden, and it grew, and 
 waxed a great tree ; and the fowls of the air lodged 
 in the 'branches of it. 
 
 20 And again he said, Whereunto 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 lea- 
 vened. 
 
 22 *And he went through the cities and villages, 
 teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem. 
 
 23 Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few 
 that be saved ? And he said unto them, 
 
 24 H* Strive to enter in at the strait 
 many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in 
 
 gate 
 
 for 
 and 
 
 shall not be able.

 unto you, ^1 know you not whence ye are : 
 
 26 Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten 
 and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in

 27 ? But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not

 Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to-day and

 2 Christ healeth the dropsy on the sabbath-day ; 7 teacheth humility ; 12 to 
 feed the poor. 16 The parable of the great supper. 55 What is re- 
 quired to be Christ's disciples. 
 
 AND it came to pass, as he went into the house 
 of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on 
 the sabbath-day, that the} 7 - watched him. 
 
 2 And behold, there was a certain man before 
 him which had the dropsy. 
 
 3 And Jesus answering, spake unto the lawyers 
 and Pharisees, saying, " Is it lawful to heal on the 
 sabbath-day ? 
 
The parable of the supper; 
 
 4 And they held their peace. And he took him, 
 and healed him, and let him go : 
 
 5 And answered them, saying, * Which of you 
 shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and wiU 
 not straightway pull him out on the sabbath-day ? 
 
 6 And they could not answer him again to these 
 things. 
 
 7 IFAnd he put forth a parable to those which 
 were bidden, when he marked how they chose out 
 the chief rooms ; saying unto them, 
 
 8 When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, 
 sit not down in the highest room, lest a more hon- 
 ourable man than thou be bidden of him ; 
 
 9 And he that bade thee and him come and say 
 to thee, Give this man place ; and thou begin with 
 shame to take the lowest room. 
 
 10 c But when thou art bidden, go and sit down 
 in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee 
 cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher : 
 then shalt thou have worship in the presence of 
 them that sit at meat with thee. 
 
 ] 1 ''For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased, 
 and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. 
 
 12 II Then said he also to him that bade him, 
 When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not 
 thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen^ 
 nor thy rich neighbours ; lest they also bid thee 
 again, 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 shalt be blessed : for they cannot 
 recompense thee : for thou shalt be recompensed at 
 the resurrection of the just. 
 
 15 IT And when one of them that sat at meat with 
 him heard these things, he said unto him, -^Blessed 
 in he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God. 
 
 16 ^Then said he unto him, A certain man made 
 a great supper, and bade many : 
 
 17 And *sent his servant at supper time, to say 
 to them that were bidden, Come,, for all things are 
 now ready. 
 
 18 And they all with one consent began to make 
 excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a 
 piece of ground, and I must needs 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 : 1 pray thee have 
 me excused. 
 
 20 And another said, I have married a wife : and 
 therefore I cannot come. 
 
 21 So that servant came, and shewed his lord 
 these things. 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 the maimed, and the halt, and the blind. 
 
 22 And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou 
 hast commanded, and yet there is room. 
 
 23 And the lord said unto 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 unto you, ' That none of those men 
 which were bidden, shall taste of my supper. 
 
 25 IT And there went great multitudes with him : 
 and he turned, and said unto them, 
 
 26 *If any man come to me, 'and hate not his 
 father, and mother, and wife, and children, and 
 brethren, and sisters, m yea, and his own life also, he 
 eannot be my disciple.

 sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whethei 
 he have sufficient to finish it ?

 1 The parable of the lost sheep: 8 of the piece of stiver: 11 of the prodigal s-jn. 
 
 rpiiEN "drew near unto him all the publicans and 
 J- sinners for to hear him. 
 
 2 And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, 
 This man receiveth sinners, *and eateth with them. 
 
 3 ir And he spake this parable unto them, saying, 
 
 4 'What man of you having an hundred sheep, if 
 he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and 
 nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is 
 lost, until he find it? 
 
 5 And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his 
 shoulders, rejoicing. 
 
 6 And when he cometh home, he calleth together 
 his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice 
 with me; for I have found my sheep d which was lost. 
 
 7 I say unto you, That likewise joy shall be in hea- 
 ven over one sinner that repenteth, 'more than over 
 ninety and nine just persons which need no repentance. 
 
 8 IT Either what woman having ten || pieces of silver, 
 if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and 
 sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it? 
 
 9 And when she hath found it, she calleth her 
 friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice 
 with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost. 
 
 10 Likewise, I say unto you, There is joy in the 
 presence of the angels of God over one sinner that 
 repenteth. 
 
 11 IT And he said, A certain man had two sons: 
 
 12 And the younger of them said to Ms father, 
 Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to 
 me. And he divided unto them f his living. 
 
 13 And not many days after, the } r ounger son 
 gathered all together, and took his journey into a 
 far country, and there wasted his substance with 
 riotous living. 
 
 14 And wnen he had spent all, there arose a mighty 
 famine in that land ; and he began to be in want. 
 
 15 And he went and joined himself to 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 husks that the swine did eat ; and no man gave 
 unto him. 
 
 631 
 
The prodigal son. 
 
 17 And when he came to himself, he said, How 
 many hired servants of my father's have bread 
 enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! 
 
 18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say 
 unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and 
 before thee, 
 
 19 And am no more worthy to be called thy 
 son : make me as one of thy hired servants. 
 
 20 And he arose, and came to his father. But 
 when he was yet a great way off, his father saw 
 him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his 
 neck, and kissed him. 
 
 21 And the son said unto him, Father, I have 
 sinned against heaven, A and in thy sight, and am 
 no more 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 hither 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 nigh to the house, he heard music 
 and dancing. 
 
 26 And he called one of the servants and asked 
 what these things meant. 
 
 27 And he said unto 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 came his father out, and entreated him. 
 
 29 And he answering, said to his father, Lo, 
 these many years do I serve thee, neither trans- 
 gressed I at any time thy commandment; and yet 
 thou never gav<\st me a kid, that I might make 
 merry with my /riends : 
 
 30 But as soen as this thy son was come, which 
 hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast 
 killed for him t ie fatted calf. 
 
 31 And he said unto 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. 
 
 CHAP. XVI. 
 
 I Of the unjust steward. 14 The hypocrisy of the covetous Pharisees 
 
 reproved, fyc. 
 
 AND he said also unto his disciples, There was a cer- 
 tain rich man which had a steward ; and the same 
 was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods. 
 
 2 And he called him, and said unto him, How is 
 it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy 
 stewardship : for thou mayest be no longer steward. 
 
 3 Then the steward said within himself, What 
 shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the 
 stewardship : I cannot dig ; to beg I am ashamed. 
 
 4 I am resolved what to do, that when I am put 
 out of the stewardship, they may receive me into 
 their houses. 
 
 5 So he called every one of his lord's debtors 
 <*nto him, and said unto the first, How much owest 
 thou unto my lord? 
 
 6 And he said, An hundred || measures of oil. 
 And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down 
 quickly, and write fifty. 
 
 7 Then said he to another, And how much owest 
 thou ? And he said, An hundred || measures of

 The unjust steward 
 
 wheat. And he said unio him, Take thy bill, and 
 write four-score. 
 
 8 And the lord commended the unjust steward, 
 because he had done wisely: for the children of 
 this world are in their generation wiser than "the 
 children of light. 
 
 9 And I say unto you, * Make to yourselves friends 
 of the || mammon of unrighteousness; that when ye 
 fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations. 
 
 10 c IIe that is faithful in that which is least, is 
 faithful also in much ; and he that is unjust in the 
 least, is unjust also in much. 
 
 11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the 
 unrighteous || mammon, who will commit to your 
 trust the true riches ? 
 
 12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which 
 is another man's, who shall give you that which is 
 your own? 
 
 13 H d No servant can serve two masters: for 
 either he will hate the one, and love the other; or 
 else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. 
 Ye cannot serve God and mammon. 
 
 14 And the Pharisees also, e who were covetous, 
 heard all these things, and they derided him. 
 
 15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which 
 •^justify yourselves before men; but £ God knoweth 
 your hearts: for ''that which is highly esteemed 
 among men, is abomination in the sight of God. 
 
 16 'The law and the prophets were until John: 
 since that time the kingdom of God is preached, 
 and every man presseth into it. 
 
 17 *And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, 
 than one tittle of the law to fail. 
 
 18 'Whosoever putteth away his wife, and mar- 
 rieth another, committeth adultery : and whosoevei 
 marrieth her that is put away from her husband, 
 committeth adultery. 
 
 19 If There was a certain rich man, which was 
 clothed in purple and fine linen and fared sumptu- 
 ously every day : 
 
 20 And there was a certain beggar named 
 Lazarus, which was laid at his gate full of sores, 
 
 21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which 
 fell from the rich man's table: moreover, the dogs 
 came and licked his sores. 
 
 22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, 
 and was carried by the angels into Abraham's 
 bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried : 
 
 23 And in hell he lifted up his eyes,beingin torments, 
 and seeth Abraham afar ©ff, and Lazarus in his bosom. 
 
 24 And he cried, and said, Father Abraham, 
 have mercy on 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 flanks. 
 
 25 But Abraham said, Son, "remember that thou 
 in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, an<? like- 
 wise Lazarus 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 they which would 
 pass from hence to you, cannot; neither can they 
 pass to us, that would come from thence. 
 
 27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father 
 that thou wouldest send him to my father's house : 
 
 28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify 
 unto them,lest theyalso come into this place of torment*. 
 
 29 Abraham saith unto him, p They have Moses 
 and the prophets; let them hear them. 
 
I To avoid occasions of offence, 3 to forgive one another, 
 
 of faith, $c. 
 
 I^TIEN said he unto the disciples, "It is impossible 
 but that offences will come: but wo unto him 
 through whom they come ! 
 
 2 It were better for him that a millstone were 
 hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, 
 than that he should offend one of these little ones. 
 
 3 UTake heed to yourselves: 'If thy brother 
 trespass against thee, c 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 again to thee, 
 saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him. 
 
 5 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase 
 our faith. 
 
 6 rf And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain 
 of mustard-seed, ye might say unto this sycamine- 
 tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou 
 planted in the sea; and it should obey you. 
 
 7 But which of you having a servant ploughing, 
 or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when 
 he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat? 
 
 8 And will not rather say unto him, Make ready 
 wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, 'and serve 
 me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward 
 thou shalt eat and drink ? 
 
 9 Doth he thank that servant, because he did the 
 things that were commanded him? I trow not. 
 
 10 So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all 
 those things which are commanded you, say, We 
 are ^ unprofitable servants : we have done that which 
 was our duty to do. 
 
 11 IF And it came to pass, 'as he went to Jerusa- 
 lem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria 
 and Galilee. 
 
 12 And as he entered into a certain village, there 
 met him ten men that were lepers, A which stood afar off: 
 
 13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Je- 
 sus, Master, have mercy on us. 
 
 14 And when he saw them, he said unto them, 
 ' Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came 
 to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed. 
 
 15 And one of them, when he saw that he was heal- 
 ed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, 
 
 16 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving 
 him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. 
 
 ] 7 And Jesus answering, said, Were there not 
 ten cleansed? but where are the nine? 
 
 18 There are not found that returned to give 
 glory to God, save this stranger. 
 
 19 *And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: 
 thy faith hath made thee whole. 
 
 20 IT And when he was demanded of the Phari- 
 sees, when the kingdom of God should come, he 
 answered them and said, The kingdom of God com- 
 eth not || with observation. 
 
 21 'Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, Lo there! 
 for behold, '"the kingdom of God is || within you. 
 
 22 II And he said unto the disciples, "The days 
 
 will come, when ye shall desire to see one of tie 
 
 days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.

 23 'And they shall say to you, See here! or, 
 See there! go not after them, nor follow them. 
 
 24 p For as the lightning that lighteneth out of the 
 one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part un- 
 der heaven ; so shall also the Son of man be in nisday. 
 
 25 'But first must he suffer many things, and be 
 rejected of this generation. 
 
 26 r And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it 
 be also in the days of the Son of man. 
 
 27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, 
 they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe 
 entered into the ark, and the flood came, and de- 
 stroyed thorn all. 
 
 28 'Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot: 
 they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, 
 they planted, they builded; 
 
 29 But 'the same day that Lot went out of So- 
 dom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and 
 destroyed them all : 
 
 30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the 
 Son of man "is revealed. 
 
 31 In that day, he 'which shall be upon the 
 house-top, and his stuff in the house, let him not 
 come down to take it away : and he that is in the 
 field, let him likewise not return back.

 1 The importunate widow. 9 The Pharisee and publican. 15 Children 
 brought to Christ. 28 All lo be left for the gospeUs sake. 
 
 AND he spake a parable unto them to this end, 
 that men ought " always to pray, and not to faint; 
 
 2 Saying, There was fin a city a judge, which 
 feared not God, neither regarded man. 
 
 3 And there was a widow in that city; and she 
 came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine 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 wil 
 avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me 
 
 6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust 
 judge saith. 
 
 7 And c shall not God avenge his own elect, which 
 cry day and night unto him, though he bear long 
 with them? 
 
 8 I tell you d that he will avenge them speedily. 
 Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall 
 he find faith on the earth? 
 
 9 And he spake this parable unto certain 'which 
 trusted in themselves || that they were 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 f stood and prayed thus with 
 himself, A 'God 5 I thank thee that I am not as other 
 
 683 
 
The danger of riches 
 
 men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, 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 
 lift up so much as his eyes unto 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 every one that 
 exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that hum- 
 hleth himself shall be exalted. 
 
 15 'And they brought unto him also infants, that 
 he would touch them : but when his disciples saw 
 it, they rebuked them. 
 
 16 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, 
 Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid 
 them not : for * of such is the kingdom of God. 
 
 17 'Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not 
 receive the kingdom of God as a little child, shall 
 in no wise enter therein. 
 
 18 m And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good 
 Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life ? 
 
 19 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou 
 me good? none is good, save one, that is God. 
 
 20 Thou knowest the commandments, "Do not 
 commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not 
 bear false witness, " Honour thy father and thy mother. 
 
 21 And he said, All these have I kept from 
 my youth up. 
 
 22 Now, when Jesus heard these things, he said 
 unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: ^sell all that 
 thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou 
 shalt have treasure in heaven : and come, follow me. 
 
 23 And when he heard this, he was very sor- 
 rowful: for he was very rich. 
 
 24 And when Jesus saw that he was very sor- 
 rowful, he said, g How hardly shall they that 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 into the 
 kingdom of God. 
 
 26 And they that heard it, said, Who then can 
 be saved? 
 
 27 And he said, r The things which are impossi- 
 ble with men, are possible with God. 
 
 28 'Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and 
 followed thee. , 
 
 29 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto 
 you, 'There is no man that hath left house, or 
 parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the 
 kingdom of God's sake, 
 
 30 "Who shall not receive manifold more in this 
 present time, and in the world to come life everlasting. 
 
 31 TI x Then he took unto him the twelve, and 
 said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, 
 and all things Hhat are written by the prophets 
 concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished. 
 
 32 For *he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, 
 and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and 
 spitted on; 
 
 33 And they shall scourge him, and put him to 
 death : and the third day he shall rise again. 
 
 34 " And they understood none of these things : 
 and this saying was hid from them, neither knew 
 they the things which were spoken. 
 
 _ 35 IF* And it came to pass, that as he was come 
 nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the 
 way-side begging :

 Of Zaccheus the' publican. 
 
 36 And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked 
 what it meant. 
 
 37 .And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth 
 passeth by. 
 
 38 And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of 
 David, have mercy on me. 
 
 39 And they which went before rebuked him, that 
 he should hold his peace : but he cried so much the 
 more, Thou son of David, have mercy on me. 
 
 40 And Jesus stood and commanded him to be 
 brought unto him : and when he was come near, he 
 asked him, 
 
 41 Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto 
 thee ? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight. 
 
 42 And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight* 
 e thy faith hath saved thee. 
 
 43 And immediately he received his sight, and 
 followed him, rf glorifying God: and all the people, 
 when they saw it, gave praise unto God. 
 
 CHAP. XIX. 
 
 1 Of Zaccheus the publican. 13 The ten pieces of money. 41 Christ 
 weepeth over Jerusalem, §c. 
 
 AND Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. 
 2 And behold, there was a man named Zac- 
 cheus, which was the chief among the publicans, 
 and he was rich. 
 
 3 And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and 
 could not for the press, because he was little of stature. 
 
 4 And he ran before, and climbed up into a syca- 
 more-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 unto him, Zaccheus, 
 make haste, and come down : for to-day I must 
 abide at thy house. 
 
 6 And he made haste, and came down, and 
 received him joyfully. 
 
 7 And when they saw it, they all murmured, 
 saying, " That he was gone to be guest with a man 
 that is a sinner. 
 
 8 And Zaccheus stood, and said unto the Lord; 
 Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the 
 poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man 
 by * false accusation, C I restore him four-fold. 
 
 9 And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation 
 come to this house, forsomuch as d he also is 'a son 
 of Abraham. 
 
 10 f ¥ov the Son of man is come to seek and to 
 save that which was lost. 
 
 11 TIAnd as they heard these things, he added 
 and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jeru- 
 salem, and because *they thought that the kingdom 
 of God should immediately appear. 
 
 12 A He said therefore, A certain nobleman went 
 into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, 
 and to return. 
 
 13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered 
 them ten || pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till 
 I come. 
 
 14 'But his citizens hated him, and sent a mes- 
 sage after him, saying, We will not have this man 
 to reign over us. 
 
 15 And it came to pass, that when he wa« 
 returned, having received the kingdom, then he 
 commanded these servants to be called unto him, 
 to whom he had given the f money, that he might 
 know how much every man had gained by trading. 
 
 16 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pouud 
 hath gained ten pounds. 
 
Of the ten pieces of money. 
 
 17 And he said unto him, Well, thou good serv- 
 ant : because thou hast been * faithful in a very little, 
 have thou authority over ten cities. 
 
 18 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound 
 hath gained five pounds. 
 
 19 And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over 
 live cities. 
 
 20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold here 
 is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin : 
 
 21 'For I feared thee, because thou art an austere 
 man : thou takest up that thou layedst not down, 
 and reapest that thou didst not sow. 
 
 22 And he saith unto him, m Out of thine own 
 mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. " Thou 
 knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that 
 I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow : 
 
 23 Wherefore then gavest not thou my money 
 into the bank, that at my coming I might have re- 
 quired mine own with usury? 
 
 24 And he said unto them that stood by, Take from 
 him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds. 
 
 25 (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten 
 pounds.) 
 
 26 For I say unto you, * That unto every one which 
 hath, shall be given; and from him that hath not, 
 even that he hath shall be taken away from him. 
 
 27 But those mine enemies, which would not that 
 1 should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them 
 before me. 
 
 28 IF And when he had. thus spoken, ''he went be- 
 fore, ascending up to Jerusalem. 
 
 29 q And it came to pass, when he was come nigh 
 to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the 
 mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, 
 
 30 Saying, Go ye into the village over against 
 you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a 
 colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, 
 and bring him hither. 
 
 31 And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose 
 him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord 
 hath need of him. 
 
 32 And they that were sent went their way, and 
 found even as he had said unto them. 
 
 33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners 
 thereof said unto 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 
 cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Je- 
 sus thereon. 
 
 36 'And as he went, they spread their clothes m 
 the way. 
 
 37 And when he was come nigh, even now at the 
 descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multi- 
 tude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God 
 with a loud voice, for all the mighty works that they 
 had seen; 
 
 38 Saying, 'Blessed be the King that cometh in 
 the name of the Lord : u Peace in heaven, and glory 
 in the highest. 
 
 39 And some of the Pharisees from among the 
 multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disci- 
 ples. 
 
 40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell 
 you, that if these should hold their peace, 'the 
 etones would immediately cry out. 
 
 41 1FAnd when he was come near, he beheld the 
 city, and y wept over it, 
 
 42 Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at

 thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. 
 
 43 For the days shall come upon thee, that thine 
 enemies shall -cast a trench about thee, and compass 
 thee round, and keep thee in on every side, 
 
 44 And "shall lay thee even with the ground, and 
 thy children within thee: and 'they shall not leave 
 in thee one stone upon another: 'because thou knew- 
 est not the time of thy visitation. 
 
 45 ''And he went into the temple, and began to 
 cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought. 
 
 46 Saying unto their, 'It is written, My house is 
 the house of prayer, but -^ye have made it a den of 
 thieves. 
 
 47 And he taught daily in the temple. But 'the 
 chief priests, and the scribes, and the chief of the 
 people sought to destroy him, 
 
 48 And could not find what they might do: for 
 all the people || were very attentive to hear him.

 1 Christ silenceth those who questioned his authority. 9 The parable of (hi 
 vineyard. 27 The Sadducees confuted, <J-c. 
 
 AND "it came to pass, that on one of those days, 
 as he taught the people in the temple, and 
 preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes 
 came upon him, with the elders, 
 
 2 And spake unto him, saying, Tell us *by what 
 authority doest thou these things? or who is nethat 
 gave thee this authority? 
 
 3 And he answered and said unto them, I will 
 also ask you one thing; and answer me : 
 
 4 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or 
 of men? 
 
 5 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If 
 we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then 
 believed ye him not? 
 
 6 But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone 
 us : c for they be persuaded that John was a prophet. 
 
 7 And they answered, That they could not tell 
 whence it was. 
 
 8 And Jesus said unto them. Neither tell I you 
 by what authority I do these things. 
 
 9 Then began he to speak to the people this par 
 able : d A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it 
 forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country 
 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 husbandmen beat him, and 
 sent him away empty. 
 
 11 And again he sent another servant : and they 
 beat him also, and entreated 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 they 
 will reverence him when they see him. 
 
 14 But when the husbandmen saw him, they rea- 
 themselves, . saying, This is the heir 
 kill him, that the inheritance may be 
 
 soned 
 come, 
 ours. 
 15 
 killed 
 
 among 
 us 
 
 let 
 
 So they cast him out of the vineyard, and 
 him. What therefore shall the lord of the 
 vineyard do unto them? 
 
 16 He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, 
 and shall give the vineyard to others. And when 
 they heard it, they said, God forbid.

Of the resurrection 
 
 17 And he beheld them, and said, What is this 
 then tluit is written, 'The stone which the builders 
 rejected, the same is become the head of the coi'ner ? 
 
 18 Whosoever shall fall upon that stone, shall be 
 broken : but ■'"on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind 
 aim to powder. 
 
 19 II And the chief priests and the scribes the 
 same hour sought to lay hands on him ; and they 
 feared the people: for they perceived that he had 
 spoken this parable against them. 
 
 20 f And they watched him, and sent forth spies, 
 which should feign themselves just men, that they 
 might take hold of his words, that so they might deliv- 
 er nim unto the power and authority of the governor. 
 
 21 And they asked him, saying, * Master, we know 
 that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither ac- 
 ceptest thou the person of any, but teachest the way 
 of God || truly: 
 
 22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Cesar 
 or no? 
 
 23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said 
 unto them, Why tempt ye me ? 
 
 24 Shew me a || penny. Whose image and super- 
 scription hath it? They answered and said, Cesar's. 
 
 25 And he said unto them, Render therefore unto 
 Cesar the things which be Cesar's, and unto God 
 the things which be God's. 
 
 26 And they could not take hold of his words 
 before the people: and they marvelled at his an- 
 swer, and held their peace. 
 
 27 1' Then came to him certain of the Sadducees 
 (* which deny that there is any resurrection) and 
 they asked him, 
 
 28 Saying, Master, 'Moses wrote unto us, If any 
 man's brother die, having a wife, and he die without 
 children, that his brother should take his wife, and 
 raise up seed unto his brother. 
 
 29 There were therefore seven brethren : and the 
 first took a wife, and died without children. 
 
 30 And the second took her to wife, and he died 
 childless. 
 
 31 And the third took her; and in like manner 
 the seven also : and they left no children, and died. 
 
 32 Last of all the woman died also. 
 
 33 Therefore in the resurrection, whose wife of 
 them is she? for seven had her to wife. 
 
 31 And Jesus answering, said unto them, The chil- 
 dren of this world marry ^and-are given in marriage : 
 
 35 But they which shall be accounted worthy to 
 obtain that world, and the resurrection from the 
 dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage : 
 
 36 Neither can they die any more : for m they are 
 equal unto the angels ; and are the children of God, 
 " being the children of the resurrection. 
 
 37 Now that the dead are raised, ° even Moses shew- 
 ed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of 
 Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. 
 
 38 For he is not a God of the dead, but of the 
 living: for^all live unto him. 
 
 39 H Then certain of the scribes answering, said, 
 Muster, thou hast well said. 
 
 40 And after that they durst not ask him any 
 question at all. 
 
 41 IT And he said unto them, «How say they that 
 Christ is David's son? 
 
 42 And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, 
 'The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right 
 hand,

 AND he looked up "and saw the rich men casting 
 their gifts into the treasury. 
 
 2 And he saw also a certain poor widow, casting 
 in thither two || mites. 
 
 3 And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, *that 
 this poor widow hath cast in more than they all. 
 
 4 For all these have of their abundance cast in 
 unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury 
 hath cast in all the living that she had. 
 
 5 H c And as some spake of the temple, how it was 
 adorned with goodly stones, and gifts, he said, 
 
 6 As for these things which ye behold, the days 
 will come, in the which ''there shall not be left one 
 stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. 
 
 7 And they asked him, saying, Master, but when 
 shall these things be? and what sign will there be 
 when these things shall come to pass? 
 
 8 And he said, 'Take heed that ye be not deceiv- 
 ed : for many shall come in my name, saying I am 
 Christ; Hand the time draweth near: go ye not 
 therefore after them. 
 
 9 But when ye shall hear of wars, and commo- 
 tions, be not terrified: for these things must first 
 come to pass : but the end is not by and by. 
 
 10 •''Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise 
 against nation, and kingdom against kingdom : 
 
 11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, 
 and famines, and pestilences : and fearful sights, and 
 great signs shall there be from heaven. 
 
 12 *But before all these they shall lay their hands 
 on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the 
 synagogues, and A into prisons, 'being brought before 
 kings and rulers *for my name's sake. 
 
 13 And 'it shall turn to you for a testimony. 
 
 14 m Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to med- 
 itate before what ye shall answer. 
 
 15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, 
 "which all your adversaries shall not be able to gain- 
 say nor resist. 
 
 16 "And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, 
 and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and ''some 
 of you shall they cause to be put to death. 
 
 17 And «ye shall be hated of all men for my name's 
 sake. 
 
 18 r But there shall not an hair of your head perish. 
 
 19 In your patience possess ye your souls. 
 
 20 * And when ye shall see Jerusalem encompassed 
 with armies, then know that the desolation thereof 
 is nigh. 
 
 21 Then let them which are in Judea flee to the 
 mountains; and let them which are in the midst of 
 it depart out; and let not them that are in the coun- 
 tries enter thereinto.

 CHAP. XXII. 
 
 22 Foi 'hese be the days of vengeance, that 'all 
 things whi h are written may be fulfilled. 
 
 23 u Bu wo unto them that are with child, and to 
 them that ^ive suck in those days ! for there shall be 
 great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people. 
 
 24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, 
 and shall be led away captive into all nations: and 
 Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, 
 'until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. 
 
 25 IF " And there shall be signs in the sun, and 
 in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth 
 distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and 
 the waves roaring; 
 
 26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for 
 looking after those things which are coming on the 
 earth: x for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. 
 
 27 And then shall they 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 lift up your heads: for 
 'your redemption draweth nigh. 
 
 29 c And he spake to them a parable; Behold 
 the fig-tree, and all the trees; 
 
 30 When they now shoot forth, ye see and know 
 of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. 
 
 31 So likewise ye,when ye see these things come to 
 pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. 
 
 32 Verily, I say unto you, This generation shall 
 not pass away, till all be fulfilled. 
 
 3a ''Heaven and earth shall pass away : but my 
 words shall not pass away. 
 
 34 IT And 'take heed to yourselves, lest at any 
 time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting 
 and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that 
 day come upon you unawares. 
 
 35 For •'"as a snare shall it come on all them 
 that dwell on the face of the whole earth. 
 
 36 * Watch ye therefore, and A pray always, that 
 ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these 
 things that shall come to pass, and 'to stand before 
 the Son of man. 
 
 37 *And in the day-time he was teaching in the 
 temple; and 'at night he went out, and abode in 
 the mount that is called the mount of Olives. 
 
 38 And all the people came carry in the morn- 
 ing to him in the temple, for to hear him.

 NOW "the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, 
 which is called the Passover. 
 
 2 And *the chief priests and scribes sought how 
 they might kill him : for they feared the people. 
 
 3 1F c Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed 
 Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. 
 
 4 And he went his way, and communed with 
 the chief priests and captains, how he might betray 
 him unto them. 
 
 5 And they were glad, and d covenanted to give 
 him money. 
 
 6 And he promised, and sought opportunity to be- 
 tray him unto them || in the absence of the multitude. 
 
 7 VThen came the day of unleavened bread, 
 when the passover must be killed. 
 
 8 And ne sent Peter and John, saying, Go and 
 prepare us the passover, that we may eat.

 TTie Lord's supper instituted. 
 
 10 And he said unto them, Behold, when ye 
 are entered into the city, there shall a man m<;et 
 you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into 
 the house where he entereth in. 
 
 11 And ye shall say unto the good man of the 
 house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the 
 guest-chamber, where I shall eat the passover with 
 my disciples? 
 
 12 And he shall shew you a large upper room 
 furnished : there make ready. 
 
 13 And they went and found as he had said 
 unto them: and they made ready the passover. 
 
 14 -'"And when the hour was come, he sat down, 
 and the twelve apostles with him. 
 
 15 And he said unto them, || With desire I have 
 desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer. 
 
 16 For I say unto you, I will not any more eat 
 thereof, s until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. 
 
 17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and 
 said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves. 
 
 18 Fpr A I say unto you, I will not drink of the 
 fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come. 
 
 19 TF'And he took bread, and gave thanks, and 
 brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my 
 body which is given for you: *this do in remem- 
 brance of me. 
 
 20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying 
 ' This cup is the new testament in my blood, which 
 is shed for you. 
 
 21 1F m But behold, the hand of him that betray 
 eth me is with me on the table. 
 
 22 "And truly the Son of man goeth'as it was deter- 
 mined : but wo unto that man by whom he is betrayed ! 
 
 23 t And they began to inquire among themselves, 
 which of them it was that should do this thing. 
 
 24 IT 'And there was also a strife among them, 
 which of them should be accounted the greatest. 
 
 25 r And he said unto them, The kings of the Gen- 
 tiles exercise lordship over them; and they that ex- 
 ercise authority upon them are called benefactors. 
 
 26 'But ye shall not be so: 'but he that is great- 
 est among you, let him be as the younger; and he 
 that is chief, as he that doth serve. 
 
 27 "For whether is greater, he that sitteth at 
 meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at 
 meat? but *'I am among you as he that serveth. 
 
 28 Ye are they which have continued with me 
 in y my temptations; 
 
 29 And Z I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my 
 Father hath appointed unto 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 TFAnd the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, 
 c Satan hath desired to, have you, that he may "sift 
 you as wheat: 
 
 32 But e I have prayed for thee, that thy faith 
 fail not: •'and when thou art converted, strengthen 
 thy brethren. 
 
 33 And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to 
 go with thee, both into prison, and to death. 
 
 34 *And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock 
 shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt 
 thrice deny that thou knowest me. 
 
 35 A And he said unto them, When I sent you 
 without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any 
 thing? And they said, Nothing. 
 
 36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hat 
 
 t«7 
 
CVirist betrayed and denied: 
 
 ji purse, let him take it, and likewise Ms scrip : and 
 he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and 
 huy one. 
 
 37 For I say unto yon, that this that is written 
 must yet be accomplished in me, 'And he was reck 
 oned among the transgressors: for the things con- 
 cerning me have an end. 
 
 38 And they said, Lord, behold, here are two 
 swords. And he said unto them, It i« enough. 
 
 39 IT* And he came out, and ' went, as he was wont, 
 to the mount of Olives : and his disciples also fol- 
 lowed him. 
 
 40 "' iVnd when he was at the place, he said unto 
 them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation. 
 
 41 "And he was withdrawn from them about a 
 stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, 
 
 42 Saying, Father, if thou be f willing, remove 
 this cup from me: nevertheless, "not my will, but 
 thine be done. 
 
 43 And there appeared ^an angel unto him from 
 heaven, strengthening him. 
 
 44 'And being in an agony, he prayed more ear- 
 nestly : and his sweat was as it were great drops of 
 blood falling down to the ground. 
 
 45 And when he rose up from prayer, and was come 
 to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow, 
 
 46 And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and 
 r pray, lest ye enter into temptation. 
 
 47 II And while he yet spake, * behold a multitude, 
 and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, Avent 
 before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him. 
 
 48 But Jesus said unto him, J udas, betrayest thou 
 the Son of man with a kiss ? 
 
 49 When they which were about him, saw what 
 would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we 
 smite with the sword ? 
 
 50 II And 'one of them smote the servant of the 
 high priest, and cut off his right ear. 
 
 51 And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus 
 far. And he touched his ear, and healed him. 
 
 52 "Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and 
 captains of the temple, and the elders which were 
 come to him, Be ye come out as against a thief, with 
 swords and staves? 
 
 53 When I was daily with you in the temple, ye 
 stretched forth no hands against me : x but this is 
 your hour, and the power of darkness. 
 
 54 1p/ Then took they him, and led him, and brought 
 him into the high priest's house. z And Peter fol- 
 
 owed afar off. 
 
 55 "And when they had kindled a fire in the midst 
 of the hall, and were sat down together, Peter sat 
 down among them. 
 
 56 But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by 
 the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, 
 This man was also with him. 
 
 57 And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know 
 him not. 
 
 58 'And after a little while another saw him, and 
 said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, 
 1 am not. 
 
 59 c And about the space of one hour after, another 
 confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this fellow 
 also was with him; for he is a Galilean. 
 
 60 And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou 
 sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the 
 cock crew. 
 
 01 And the Lord turned, and lo« ked upon Peter

 He is accused before Pilate 
 
 ''And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how 
 he had said unto him. 'Before the cock crow, thou 
 shalt deny me thrice. 
 
 62 And Peter went .out and wept bitterly. 
 
 63 IK And the men that held Jesus, mocked him. 
 and smote Mm. 
 
 64 And when they had blindfolded him, they 
 struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, 
 Prophesy, who is it that smote thee? 
 
 65 And many other things blasphemously spake 
 they against him. 
 
 66 II* And as soon as it was clay, Hhe elders of the 
 people, and the chief priests, and the scribes came 
 together, and led him into their council, saying, 
 
 67 'Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said 
 unto them, If I tell } r ou, ye will not believe. 
 
 68 And if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, 
 nor let me go. 
 
 69 * Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on tho 
 right hand of the power of God. 
 
 70 Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of 
 God? And he said unto them, 'Ye say that I am. 
 
 71 "And they said, What need we any further wit- 
 ness ? for we ourselves have heard of his own mouth 
 
 CHAP. XXIII. 
 
 2 Jems is accused before Pilate, 7 and sent to Herod: 11 he is mocked, 
 and sent back to Pilate : 25 he is delivered to be crucified, &c. 
 
 AND "the whole multitude of them arose, and led 
 him unto Pilate. 
 
 2 And the}^ began to accuse him, saying, We found 
 this fellow 'perverting the nation, and "forbidding to 
 
 give tribute to Cesar, saying, d That he himself is 
 ihrist, a King. 
 
 3 e And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the 
 King of the Jews ? And he answered him and said, 
 Thou sayest it. 
 
 4 Then said Pilate to the chief priests, and ic tho 
 people, f I find no fault in this man. 
 
 5 And they were the more fierce, saying, He stir- 
 re th up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, 
 beginning from Galilee to this place. 
 
 6 When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether 
 the man were a Galilean. 
 
 7 And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto 
 s Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who 
 himself also was at Jerusalem at that time. 
 
 8 HAnd when' Herod saw Jesus, he was exceed- 
 ing glad: for *he was desirous to see him of a long 
 season, because 'he had heard many things of him; 
 and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by 
 him. 
 
 9 Then he questioned with him in many wouls; 
 but he answered him nothing. 
 
 10 And the chief priests and scribes stood and 
 vehemently accused him. 
 
 11 *And Herod with his men of war set him at 
 nought, and mocked Mm, and arrayed him in a gor- 
 geous robe, and sent him again to Pilate. 
 
 12 And the same day 'Pilate and Herod were 
 made friends together; for before they were at en- 
 mity between themselves. 
 
 13 H m And Pilate, when he had called together 
 the chief priests, and the rulers, and the people, 
 
 14 Said unto them, "Ye have brought this man 
 unto me, as one that perverteth the people : and 
 behold, "I, having examined Mm before you, have 
 found no fault in this man, touching those things 
 whereof ye accuse him; 
 
Clirist delivered to be crucified: 
 
 15 No, nor yet Herod: for 1 sent you to him ; 
 and lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him. 
 
 16 ; 'l will therefore chastise him, and release Mm. 
 
 17 '(For of necessity he must release one unto 
 tbem at the feast.) 
 
 18 And r they cried out all at once, saying, Away 
 with this man, and release unto us Barabbas: 
 
 19 (Who, for a certain sedition made in the city, 
 and for murder, was cast into prison.) 
 
 20 Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake 
 again to them. 
 
 21 But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. 
 
 22 And he said unto them the third time, Why, what 
 evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death 
 in him; I will therefore chastise him, and let him go. 
 
 23 And they were instant with loud voices, re- 
 quiring that he might be crucified: and the voices 
 of them, and of the chief priests prevailed. 
 
 24 And •'Pilate II gave sentence that it should be 
 as they required. 
 
 25 And he released unto them him that for sedi- 
 tion and murder was cast into prison, whom they 
 had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will. 
 
 26 'And as they led him away, they laid hold 
 upon one Simon a Cyrenian, coming out of the 
 country, and on him they laid the cross, that he 
 might bear it after Jesus. 
 
 27 IT And there followed him a great company of 
 people, and of women, which also bewailed and la- 
 mented him. 
 
 28 But Jesus turning unto them, said, Daughters 
 of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for your- 
 selves, and for your children. 
 
 29 " For behold, the days are coming, in the which 
 they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs 
 that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck. 
 
 30 ^Then shall they begin to say to the moun- 
 tains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us. 
 
 31 y For if they do these things in a green tree, 
 what shall be done in the dry ? 
 
 32 *And there were also two others, malefactors, 
 led with him to be put to death. 
 
 33 And " when they were come to the place which is 
 called || Calvary, there they crucified him,and the male- 
 factors; one on the right hand, and the other on the left. 
 
 34 IT Then said Jesus, Father, 'forgive them: for 
 c they know not what they do. And rf they parted 
 his raiment, and cast lots. 
 
 35 And f the people stood beholding. And the 
 ■''rulers also with them derided him, saying, He 
 saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, 
 the chosen of God. 
 
 36 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to 
 him, and offering him vinegar. 
 
 37 And saying, If thou be the King of the Jews, 
 save thyself. 
 
 38 *And a superscription also was written over 
 him, in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, 
 THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. 
 
 39 1T A And one of the malefactors, which were 
 hanged, railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, 
 save thyself and us. 
 
 40 But the other answering, rebuked him, say- 
 ing, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the 
 same condemnation ? 
 
 41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the 
 due reward of our deeds : but this man hath done 
 aothing amiss.

 42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me

 43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto 
 thee, To-day shalt thou be with me in paradise. 
 
 44 'And it was about the sixth hour, and there was 
 a darkness over all the Hearth until the ninth hour. 
 
 45 And the sun was darkened, and *the vail of 
 the temple was rent in the midst. 
 
 46 If And when Jesus had cried with a loud voicft, 
 he said, 'Father, into thy hands I commend my 
 spirit: "'and having said thus, he gave up the ghost. 
 
 47 "Now, when the centurion saw what was done, 
 he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a right- 
 eous man. 
 
 48 And all the people that came together to that 
 sight, beholding the things which were done, smote 
 their breasts and returned. 
 
 49 "And all his acquaintance, and the women that 
 followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding 
 these things. 
 
 50 U ; 'And behold, there was a man named Joseph, 
 a counsellor: and he was a good man, and a just: 
 
 51 (The same had not consented to the counsel 
 and deed of them :) he was of Arimathea, a city of 
 the Jews; 'who also himself waited for the kingdom 
 of God. 
 
 52 This man went unto Pilate, and begged the 
 body of Jesus. 
 
 53 'And he took it down, and wrapped itin linen, 
 and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, 
 wherein never man before was laid. 
 
 54 And that day was 'the preparation, and the 
 sabbath drew on. 
 
 • 55 And the women also, 'which came with him 
 from Galilee, followed after, and "beheld the sepul- 
 chre, and how his bod}' was laid. 
 
 56 And they returned, and a ' prepared spices and 
 ointments; and rested the sabbath day, s according 
 to the commandment.

 1 Christ's resurrection declared lo (he women : 9 they report it to other* 
 13 Christ himself appearcth : 51 his ascension. 
 
 NOW "upon the first day of the week, very early 
 in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, 
 ''bringing the spices which they had prepared, and 
 certain others with them. 
 
 2 c And they found the stone rolled away from 
 the sepulchre. 
 
 3 ''And they entered in, and found not the body 
 of the Lord Jesus. 
 
 4 And it came to pass, as they were much per- 
 plexed thereabout, 'behold two men stood by tnein 
 in shining garments. 
 
 5 And as they were afraid, and bowed down their 
 faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek 
 ye || the living among the dead ? 
 
 6 He is not here, but is risen. f Remember how 
 he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, 
 
 7 Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into 
 the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the 
 third day rise again. 
 
 8 And* they remembered his words, 
 
 9 ''And returned from the sepulchre, and told all 
 these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest. 
 
 10 It was Mary Magdalene, and 'Joanna, and 
 Mary the mother of James, and other women thai 
 were with them, which told these things unto the 
 apostles. 
 
 ton 
 
Christ cfpearcth to his disciples: 
 
 11 *And their words seemed to them as idle 
 tales, and they believed them not. 
 
 12 'Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepul- 
 chre, and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes 
 laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in 
 himself at that which was come to pass. 
 
 13 H m And behold, two of them went that same 
 day to a village called Emmaus, which was from 
 Jerusalem about threescore furlongs. 
 
 14 And they talked together of all these things 
 which had happened. 
 
 lb And it came to pass, that while they com- 
 muned together, and reasoned, "Jesus himself drew 
 near, and went with them. 
 
 16 But "their eyes were holden, that they should 
 not know him. 
 
 1 7 And he said unto them, What manner of 
 communications are these that ye have one to an- 
 other, as ye walk, and are sad? 
 
 18 And the one of them, p whose name was 
 Cleopas, answering, said unto him, Art thou only 
 a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the 
 things which are come to pass there in these days? 
 
 19 And he said unto them, What things ? And 
 they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, 
 1 which was a prophet r mighty in deed and word 
 hefore God ?nd all the people : 
 
 20 'And how the chief priests and our rulers 
 delivered him to be condemned to death, and have 
 crucified him. 
 
 21 But we trusted 'that it had been he which 
 should have redeemed Israel : and besides all this, 
 to-day is the third day since these things were done. 
 
 22 Yea, and "certain women also of our company 
 made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre. 
 
 23 And when they found not his body, they 
 came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of 
 angels, which said that he was alive. 
 
 24 And x certain of them which were with us, 
 went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the 
 women had said : but him they saw not. 
 
 25 Then he said unto them, fools, and slow of 
 heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken ! 
 
 26 y Ought not Christ to have suffered these 
 things, and to enter into his glory? 
 
 27 *And beginning at a Moses, and 'all the pro- 
 phets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures 
 the things concerning himself. 
 
 28 And they drew nigh unto the village whither 
 they went: and c he made as though he would have 
 gone further. 
 
 29 But ''they constrained him, saying, Abide 
 with us : for it is toward evening, and the day is 
 far spent. And he went in to tarry with them.

 He promiseth them the Holy Ghost 
 
 them, 'he took bread, and blessed it, and orake, 
 and gave to them. 
 
 31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew 
 him : and he || vanished out of their sight. 
 
 32 And they said one to another, Did not our 
 heart burn within us while he talked with us by 
 the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures? 
 
 33 And they rose up the same hour, and re- 
 turned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered 
 together, and them that were with them, 
 
 34 Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and •''hath 
 appeared to Simon. 
 
 35 And they told what things were done in the way, 
 and how he was known of them in breaking of bread. 
 
 36 IFAnd as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in 
 the midst of them, and saithuntothem, Peace Jeuntoyou. 
 
 37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and 
 supposed that they had seen h a spirit. 
 
 38 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? 
 and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? 
 
 39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is 1 
 myself: 'handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not 
 tle n h and bones, as ye see me have. 
 
 40 And when he had thus spoken, he shewed 
 them his hands and his feet. 
 
 41 And while they yet believed not *for joy, and 
 wondered, he said unto them, 'Have ye here any meat * 
 
 42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, 
 and of an honey-comb. 
 
 43 '"And he took it, and did eat before them. 
 
 44 And he said unto them, "These are the words 
 which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, 
 that all things must be fulfilled which were written 
 in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in 
 the psalms, concerning me. 
 
 45 Then "opened Tie their understanding, that 
 they might understand the scriptures, 
 
 46 And said unto them, •''Thus it is written, and 
 thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from 
 the dead the third day: 
 
 47 And that repentance and 'remission of sins 
 should be preached in his name r among all nations, 
 beginning at Jerusalem. 
 
 48 And J ye are witnesses of these things. 
 
 49 TAnd behold, I send the promise of my 
 Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jeru- 
 salem, until ye be endued with power from on high. 
 
 50 UAnd he led them out as "far as to Bethany: 
 and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them. 
 
 51 •''And it came to pass, while he blessed them, 
 he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven. 
 
 52 ^And they worshipped him, and returned to 
 Jerusalem with great joy : 
 
 53 And were continually *in the temple, praising 
 and blessing God. Amen.

 4 -^In him was life ; and *the life was the light of men

 6 If 'There was a man sent from God, whose 
 name was John. 
 
 7 *The same came for a witness, to bear 
 of the Light, 
 
 S He was 
 witness of 
 
 that all men through him might

 9 ' That was the true Light, which lighteth every 
 m;tn that cometh into the world. 
 
 1'; He was in the world, and '"the world was 
 madft by him, and the world knew him not. 
 
 11 "He came unto his own, and his own received 
 him not. 
 
 12 But 'as many as received him, to them gave 
 he || p >wer to become the sons of God, even to them 
 that believe on his name: 
 
 13 ''Which were born, not of blood, nor of the 
 will ot the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 
 
 14 f And the Word r was made 'flesh, and dwelt 
 among us, (and 'we beheld his glory, the glory as 
 of the only begotten of the Father,) "full of grace 
 and truth. 
 
 15 H^John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, 
 This was he of whom I spake, * He that cometh after 
 me. is preferred before me; y for he was before me. 
 
 16 And of his x fulness have all we received, and 
 grace for grace. 
 
 17 For "the law was given by Moses, but 'grace 
 and c truth came by Jesus Christ. 
 
 18 rf No man hath seen God at any time; 'the 
 only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the 
 Father, he hath declared him. 
 
 19 IT And this is Ahe record of John, when the 
 Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem, to 
 ask him, Who art thou? 
 
 20 And*he confessed, and denied not; but con- 
 fessed, I am not the Christ. 
 
 21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou 
 *Elias? And he saith, 1 am not. Art thou *|l that 
 prophet? And he answered, No. 
 
 22 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that 
 we may give an answer to them that sent us. What 
 bayest'thou of thyself ? 
 
 23 *He said, 1 am the voice of one crying in the 
 wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as 
 'said the prophet Esaias. 
 
 24 And they which were sent were of the Pharisees. 
 
 25 And they asked him, and said unto him, Why 
 baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor 
 Elias, neither that prophet? 
 
 26 John answered them, saying, m I baptize with 
 water: "but there standeth one among you, whom 
 ye know not: 
 
 27 ' He it is, who coming after me, is preferred before 
 me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose. 
 
 28 These things were done ''in Bethabara beyond 
 Jordan, where John was baptizing. 
 
 29 If The next day John sceth Jesus coining unto 
 him, and saith, Behold ? the Lamb of God, r which 
 || taketh away the sin of the world ! 
 
 30 'This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man 
 which is preferred before me; for he was before me. 
 
 31 And I knew him not: but that he should be 
 made manifest to Israel, 'therefore am I come bap- 
 tizing with water. 
 
 32 "And John bare record, sa}nng, I saw the 1 
 Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it 
 abode upon him. 
 
 33 And I knew him not : but he that sent me to 
 baptize with water, the same said unto me, Uponj 
 whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and re- 
 maining on him, *the same is he which baptizeth with 
 the Holy Ghost.

 Andrew and Peter catted. 
 
 34 And I saw and bare record, that this is the 
 Son of God. 
 
 35 If Again the next day after, John stood, and 
 two of his disciples; 
 
 36 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he 
 saith, y Behold the Lamb of God ! 
 
 37 And the two disciples heard him speak, ano 
 they followed Jesus. 
 
 $8 Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, 
 and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said 
 unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted. 
 Master,) where || dwellest thou? 
 
 39 lie saith unto them, Come and see. They 
 came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him 
 that day: for it was || about the tenth hour. 
 
 40 One of the two which heard John speak, and 
 followed him, was ''Andrew, Simon Peter's brother 
 
 41 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and 
 saith unto him, We have found the Messias; which 
 is, being interpreted, || the Christ. 
 
 42 And he brought him to Jestis. And when 
 Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son 
 of Jona: "thou shalt be called Cephas; which it., 
 by interpretation, || A stone. 
 
 43 If The day following Jesus would go forth into 
 Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Fol 
 low me. 
 
 44 Now 'Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of 
 Andrew and Peter. 
 
 45 Philip findeth c Nathanael, and saith unto him 
 We have found him of whom ''Moses in the law, 
 and the 'prophets, did write, Jesus J of Nazareth, the 
 son of Joseph. 
 
 46 And Nathanael said unto him, s Can there an 
 od thing come out < 
 
 unto him, Come and see 
 
 good 
 
 come out of Nazareth? Philip salt 
 
 I 
 
 47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of 
 him, Behold A an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile ! 
 
 48 Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest 
 thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Be 
 fore that Philip called thee, when thou wast under 
 the fig-tree, I saw thee. 
 
 49 Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, 
 ' thou art the Son of God ; thou art * the King of Israel 
 
 50 Jesus answered and said unto him, Because 1 
 said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig-tree, believest 
 thou? thou shalt see greater things than these. 
 
 51 And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say 
 unto you, ' Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and 
 the angels of God ascending and descending upon 
 the Son of man.

 1 Christ turneth water into wine: 12 He departeth into Capernaum, Ire 
 
 AND the third day there was a marriage in "Cana 
 of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there. 
 
 2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, 
 to the marriage. 
 
 3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of 
 Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. 
 
 4 Jesus saith unto her, 'Woman, ""what have I to 
 do with thee? d mine hour is not yet come. 
 
 5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever 
 he saith unto you, do it. 
 
 6 And there were set there six water-pots of 
 stone, 'after the manner of the purifying of the 
 Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. 
 
 7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the water-pots wiLb 
 water. And they filled them up to the brim. 
 
 Gftl 
 
(Jkrist teacheth Nicodemus 
 
 8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear 
 unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it. 
 
 9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted ; the wa- 
 ter that was made wine, and knew not whence it 
 was, (but the servants which drew the water knew,) 
 the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, 
 
 10 And saith unto him, Every- man at the begin- 
 ning doth set forth good wine; and when men have 
 well drunk, then that which is worse : but thou hast 
 kept the good wine until now. 
 
 11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana 
 of Galilee, ff and manifested forth his glory; and his 
 disciples believed on him. 
 
 12 If After this he went down to Capernaum, he, 
 and his mother, and ''his brethren, and his disciples; 
 and they continued there not many days. 
 
 13 If'And the Jews' passover was at hand, and 
 Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 
 
 14 *And found in the temple those that sold 
 oxen, and sheep, and doves, and the changers of 
 money, sitting: 
 
 15 And when he had made a scourge of small 
 cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the 
 sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' 
 money, and overthrew the tables; 
 
 16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take 
 these things hence: make not 'my Father's house 
 an house of merchandise. 
 
 17 And his disciples remembered that it was writ- 
 ten, m The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up. 
 
 18 IT Then answered the Jews, and said unto 
 him, " What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that 
 thou doest these things? 
 
 19 Jesus answered and said unto them, "Destroy 
 this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. 
 
 20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years wasi 
 this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in 
 three days? 
 
 21 But he spake ^ of the temple of his body. 
 
 22 When therefore he was risen from the dead, 
 ? his disciples remembered that he had said this unto 
 them : and they believed the scripture, and the 
 word which Jesus had said. 
 
 23 If Now when he was in Jerusalem at the pass- 
 over, in 'he feast-ifoy, many believed in his name, 
 when they saw the miracles which he did. 
 
 24 Bui. Jesus did not commit himself unto them, 
 because he knew all men, 
 
 25 And needed not that any should testify of 
 man: for r he knew what was in man.

 SPHERE was a man of the Pharisees named Nico- 
 -L demus, a ruler of the Jews : 
 
 2 "The same came to Jesus by night, and said 
 unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher 
 come from God: for *no man can do these miracles 
 that thou doest, except c God be with him. 
 
 3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, 
 verily, I say unto thee, rf Except a man be born 
 
 II again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 
 
 4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be 
 born when he is old ? can he enter the second time 
 into his mother's womb, and be born? 
 
 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 
 1 ftxcept a man be born of water, and of the Spirit, 
 he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

 6 That which is born of the flesh, is flesh ; and 
 that which is born of the Spirit, is spirit.

 8 •/'The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou 
 hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence 
 it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one 
 that is born of the Spirit. 
 
 9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, s Hew 
 can these things be? 
 
 10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a 
 master of Israel, and knowest not these things? 
 
 11 h Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak 
 that we do know, and testify that we have seen; 
 and 'ye receive not our witness. 
 
 12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe 
 not,howshall ye believe if 1 tell you o/'heavenly things? 
 
 13 And *no man hath ascended up to heaven, 
 but he that came down from heaven, even the Son 
 of man which is in heaven. 
 
 14 If ' And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wil- 
 derness, even so "must the Son of man be lifted up : 
 
 15 That whosoever believeth in him should not 
 perish, but "have eternal life. 
 
 16 If "For God so loved the world, that he gave 
 his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in 
 him should not perish, but have everlasting 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 If 'He that believeth on him, is not condemned 
 but he that believeth not, is condemned already, be- 
 cause he hath not believed in 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, because their deeds were evil. 
 
 20 For "'every one that doeth evil hateth the 
 light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds 
 should be || reproved. 
 
 21 But he that doeth truth, cometh to the light, 
 that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are 
 wrought in God.

 of John's disciples and the Jews, about purifying.

 Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, s to

 CHAP. IV. 
 
 1 Chrisl talJceth with a woman of Samaria, and reveahth himself unto her ; 
 27 his disciples marvel. 31 Christ's zeal for God's glory. 
 
 WHEN therefore the Lord knew how the Phar- 
 isees had heard that Jesus made and "baptized 
 more disciples than John, 
 
 2 (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his 
 disciples,) 
 
 3 He left Judea, and departed again into Galilee. 
 
 4 And he must needs go through Samaria. 
 
 5 Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is 
 called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground Hhat 
 Jacob gave to his son Joseph. 
 
 6 Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore 
 being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well : 
 and it was about the sixth hour. 
 
 7 There cometh a woman of Samaria, to draw 
 water: Jesus saith unto her, Give ma to drink. 
 
 8 (For his disciples were gone away unto the city 
 to buy meat.) 
 
 9 Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, 
 How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of 
 me, which am a woman of Samaria? for 'the Jews 
 have no dealings with the Samaritans. 
 
 10 Jesus answered and said unto 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 w T ater. 
 
 11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast 
 nothing to draw with, and the well is deep : from 
 whence then hast thou that living water? 
 
 12 Art thou greater than our rather Jacob, which 
 gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his 
 children, and his cattle ? 
 
 13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever 
 drinketh of this water, shall thirst again : 
 
 14 But 'whosoever drinketh of the water that I 
 shall give him, shall never thirst; but the water that 
 I shall give him, J shall be in him a well of water 
 springing up into everlasting life. 
 
 15 ^The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this 
 water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw. 
 
 16 Jesus saith unto her, Go call thy husband, 
 and come hither. 
 
 17 The woman answered and said, I have no 
 husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, 
 I have no husband : 
 
 18 For thou hast had five husbands, and he whom 
 thou now hast, is not thy husband : in that saidst 
 thou truly. 
 
 19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, A I perceive 
 that thou art a prophet. 
 
 .20 Our fathers worshipped in 'this mountain; and 
 ye say that in * Jerusalem is the place where men 
 ought to worship.

 OiriaCs zeal for CocT.s ghry, 
 
 21 Jesus haith unto her, Woman, believe me, the 
 hour cometh, 'when ye shall neither in this moun- 
 tain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 
 
 22 Ye worship '-'ye know not what: we know 
 what we worship, for "salvation is of the Jew.s. 
 
 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the tine 
 worshippers shall worship the Father in "spirif'and Id 
 truth : for the Father seeketh such to worship him 
 
 24 ''God is a Spirit; and they that worship him 
 must worship him m spirit and in truth. 
 
 25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Mes- 
 sias cometh, which is called Christ; when he is come, 
 r he will tell us all things. 
 
 26 Jesus saith unto her, *I that speak unto thee 
 am he. 
 
 27 II And upon this came his disciples, and mar- 
 velled that he talked with the woman : yet no man 
 said, What seekest thou ? or, Why talkest thou 
 with her? 
 
 28 The woman then left her water-pot, and went 
 her way into the city, and saith to the men, 
 
 29 Come, see a man 'which told me all things 
 that ever I did : is not this the Christ ? 
 
 30 Then they went out of the city, and came 
 unto him. 
 
 31 Uln the mean while his disciples prayed him, 
 saying, Master, eat. 
 
 32 But he said unto them, I have meat to eat 
 that ye know not of. 
 
 33 Therefore said the disciples one to another. 
 Hath any man brought him aught to eat ? 
 
 34 Jesus saith unto them, "My meat is to do the 
 will of him that sent me, and to finish his work 
 
 35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and 
 then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift 
 up your eyes, and look on the fields; *for they are 
 white already to harvest. 
 
 36 y And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and 
 gathereth fruit unto life eternal : that both he that 
 soweth, and he that reapeth, may rejoice together. 
 
 37 And herein is that saying true, One soweth, 
 and another reapeth. 
 
 38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed 
 no labour : other men laboured, and ye are entered 
 into their labouis. 
 
 39 IT And many of the Samaritans of that city 
 believed on him *for the saying of the woman, which 
 testified, He told me all that ever I did. 
 
 40 So when the Samaritans were come unto him, 
 they besought him that he would tarry with them : 
 and he abode there two days. 
 
 41 And many more believed, because of his own 
 word ; 
 
 42 And said unto the woman, Now we believe, 
 not because of thy saying: for °we have heard him 
 ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, 
 the Saviour of the world. 
 
 43 II Now after 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 Then when he was come into Galilee, the 
 Galileans received him, 'having seen all the things 
 that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: d for they also 
 went unto the feast. 
 
 46 So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, 
 • where he made the water wine. And there was n cer- 
 tain || nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum. 
 
 648 
 
Die impotent man healed. 
 
 47 When he heard that Jesus was come out of 
 Judea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought 
 him that he would come down, and heal his son: 
 Cor he was at the point of death. 
 
 48 Then said Jesus unto him, ^Except ye see 
 signs and wonders, ye will not believe. 
 
 49 The nobleman saith uuto" him, Sir, come 
 down ere my child die. 
 
 50 Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way ; thy son 
 liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus 
 had spoken unto him, and he went his way. 
 
 51 And as he was now going down, his servants 
 met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth. 
 
 52 Then inquired he of them the hour when he 
 began to amend. And they said unto him, Yester- 
 day at the seventh hour the fever left him. 
 
 53 So the father knew that it was at the same 
 hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son 
 liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house. 
 
 54 This is again the second miracle that Jesus 
 did, when he was come out of Judea into Galilee. 
 
 CHAP. V. 
 
 1 Jesus, on the sabbath-day, cureth an impotent man at the pool of 
 Bethesda: 10 the Jews persecute him for it: 17 he juslifeth himself, 
 and asserteth his power, $c. 
 
 AFTER "this there was a feast of the Jews: and 
 Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 
 
 2 Now there is at Jerusalem, 4 by the sheep 
 U market, a pool, which iss called in the Hebrew 
 tongue, Bethesda, having five porches. 
 
 3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent 
 folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving 
 of the water. 
 
 4 For an angel went down at a certain season 
 into the pool, and troubled the water : whosoever 
 then first after the troubling of the water stepped 
 m, was made whole of whatsoever disease he had. 
 
 5 And a certain man was there, which had an 
 nfirmity thirty and eight years. 
 
 6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he 
 had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto 
 him, Wilt thou be made whole? 
 
 7 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have 
 no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into 
 the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth 
 down before me. 
 
 8 Jesus saith unto him, ""Rise, take up th} r bed, 
 and walk. 
 
 9 And immediately the man was made whole, 
 and took up his bed, and walked : and ''on the same 
 day was the sabbath. 
 
 10 If The Jews therefore said unto him that was 
 cured, It is the sabbath-day; e it is not lawful for 
 thee to carry thy bed. 
 
 11 He answered them, He that made me whole, 
 the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and 
 walk. 
 
 12 Then asked they him, What man is that which 
 said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk? 
 
 13 And he that was healed wist not who ,i was: 
 for Jesus had conveyed himself away, || a mi ltitude 
 being in that place. 
 
 14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, 
 and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole : 
 •'"sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee. 
 
 15 The man departed, and told the Jews that it 
 was Jesus which had made him whole. 
 
 16 And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus,

 and .,ought to slay him, because he had done these 
 things on the sabbath-day. 
 
 17 IT But Jesus answered them, *My Father 
 worketh hitherto, and I work. 
 
 18 Therefore the Jews A sought the more to kill 
 him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, 
 but said also, that God was his Father, 'making 
 himself equal with God. 
 
 19 Then answered Jesus, and said unto them, 
 Verily, verily, I say unto you, * The Son can do 
 nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father 
 do; for what things soever he doeth, these also 
 doeth the Son likewise. 
 
 20 For 'the Father loveth the 
 him all things that himself doeth 
 him greater works than these, that ye may marvel. 
 
 2 1 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quick- 
 eneth them; ""even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. 
 
 22 For the Father judgeth no man; but "hath 
 committed all judgment unto the Son : 
 
 23 That all men should honour the Son, even as 
 they honour the Father. "He that honoureth not tho 
 Son, honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. 
 
 24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, p He that hear 
 eth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, 
 hath everlasting life, and shall not come into con- 
 demnation; ''but is passed from death unto life. 
 
 25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is com- 
 ing, and now is, when 'the dead shall hear the voice 
 of the Son of God : and they that hear shall live. 
 
 26 For as the Father hath life in himself, so 
 hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; 
 
 27 And 'hath given him authority to executo 
 judgment also, 'because he is the Son of man. 
 
 28 Marvel not at this : for the hour is coming, in 
 the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, 
 
 29 "And shall come forth; •Hhey that have done 
 good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that 
 have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation 
 
 30 ^1 can of mine own self do nothing: as I 
 hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because 
 Z I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father 
 which hath sent me. 
 
 31 "If I bear witness of myself, my witness is 
 not true. 
 
 32 H 6 There is another that beareth witness of 
 me, and I know that the witness which he witness- 
 eth of me is true. 
 
 33 Ye sent unto John, c and he bare witness unto 
 the truth. 
 
 34 But I receive not testimony from man : but 
 these things I say, that ye might be saved. 
 
 35 He was a burning and ''a shining light: and 
 'ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light. 
 
 36 II But •'I have greater witness than that of 
 John: for *the works which the Father hath given 
 me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness 
 of me, that the Father hath sent me. 
 
 37 And the Father himself which hath sent me, 
 A hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard 
 his voice at any time, 'nor seen his shape. 
 
 38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: 
 for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not. 
 
 39 1f* Search the scriptures; for in them ye 
 think ye have eternal life: and 'they are they 
 which testify of me. 
 
 40 m And ye will not come to me. that ye niighi 
 have life. 
 
Five thousand miraculously fea. 
 
 41 "1 receive not honour from men. 
 
 42 But 1 know you, that ye have not the love of 
 God in you. 
 
 43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye re- 
 ceive me not: if another shall come in his own 
 name, him ye will receive. 
 
 44 "How can ye believe, which receive honour 
 one of another, and seek not 7 ' the honour that com- 
 et h from God only? 
 
 45 Do not think that 1 will accuse you to the Fa- 
 ther: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, 
 in whom ye trust. 
 
 46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have 
 believed me: ''for he wrote of me. 
 
 47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall 
 ye believe my words ?

 1 Christ feedelh five thousand with five loaves and two fishes ; 20 the multi- 
 tude flocking unto him, he reproveth their carnal views. 
 
 AFTER "these things Jesus went over the sea of 
 Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias. 
 
 2 And a great multitude followed him, because 
 they saw his miracles which he did on them that 
 were diseased. 
 
 3 And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there 
 lie sat with his disciples. 
 
 4 'And thepassover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh. 
 
 5 ir c When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw 
 a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, 
 Whence shall we buy bread that these may eat? 
 
 6 (And this he said to prove him : for he himself 
 Knew what he would do.) 
 
 7 Philip answered him, d Tw T o hundred pennny worth 
 of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one 
 of them may take a little 
 
 8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's 
 brother, saith unto him, 
 
 9 There is a lad here, which hath five barley- 
 loaves, and two small fishes: 'but what are they 
 among so many ? 
 
 10 And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. (Now 
 there w r as much grass in the place.) So the men 
 sat down in number about five thousand. 
 
 11 And Jesus took the loaves; and Avhen he had 
 given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the 
 disciples to them that were set down; and likewise 
 of the fishes, as much as they would. 
 
 12 When they were filled, he said unto his disci- 
 Dies, Gather up the fragments that remain, that 
 nothing be lost. 
 
 13 Therefore they gathered them together, and 
 filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five 
 barley-loaves, which remained oyer and above unto 
 the in that had eaten. 
 
 14 Then those men, when they had seen the mi- 
 racle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth -''that 
 Prophet that should come into the world. 
 
 15 IF When Jesus therefore perceived that they 
 would come and take him by force, to make him a 
 king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone. 
 
 16 *And when even was now come, his disciples 
 went down unto the sea, 
 
 17 And entered into a ship, and went over the 
 sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and 
 Jesus was not come to them. 
 
 18 And the sea arose by reason of a great wind 
 that blew.

 ClirlM reproveth the multitude 
 
 or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the 
 sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were 
 afraid. 
 
 20 But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid. 
 
 21 Then they willingly received him into the ship: 
 and immediately the ship was at the land whither 
 they went. 
 
 22 HThe day following, when the people which 
 stood on the other side of the sea saw that there w;is 
 none other boat there, save that one whereinto his 
 disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with 
 his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples were 
 gone away alone; 
 
 23 (llowbeit there came other boats from Tibe- 
 rias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, 
 after that the Lord had given thanks;) 
 
 24 When the people therefore saw that Jesus was 
 not there, neither his disciples, they also took ship- 
 ping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus. 
 
 25 And when they had found him on the other 
 side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when 
 earnest thou hither? 
 
 26 Jesus answered them and said. Verily, verily, 
 I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the 
 miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and 
 were filled. 
 
 27 || Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but 
 ''for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, 
 which the Son of man shall give unto you: 'for him 
 hath God the Father sealed. 
 
 28 Then said they unto him, What shah we do 
 that we might work the works of God? 
 
 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, *This is 
 the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he 
 hath sent. 
 
 30 They said therefore unto him, 'What sign 
 shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe 
 thee ? what dost thou work ? 
 
 31 "'Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as 
 
 them bread from heaven to 
 
 gave 
 
 it is written, "He 
 eat. 
 
 32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I 
 say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from 
 heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread 
 from heaven. 
 
 33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down 
 from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. 
 
 34 ° Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give 
 us this bread. 
 
 35 And Jesus said unto them, P I am the bread of 
 life: ? he that cometh to me, shall never hunger; 
 and he that believeth on me, shall never thirst. 
 
 36 'But I suid unto you, That ye also have seen 
 me, and believe not. 
 
 37 'All that the Father giveth me, shall come to me, 
 and 'him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. 
 
 38 For I came down from heaven, "not to do mine 
 own will, 'but the will of him that sent me. 
 
 39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent 
 me, Hhat of all which he hath given me, I should lose 
 nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. 
 
 40 And this is the will of him that sent me, "that 
 every one which seeth the Son, and believeth o>i 
 him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise h\m 
 up at the last day. 
 
 41 The Jews then murmured at him. because he 
 said, I am the bread which came down from heaven 
 
 42 And they said, "Is not this Jesus the sou oj 
 
 J 646 
 
Jhrist the bread of life : 
 
 Josepn, whose father and mother we know? how is 
 it then that he sa.ith, I came down from heaven? 
 
 43 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, 
 Murmur not among yourselves. 
 
 44 ''No man can come to me, except the Father 
 which hath sent me draw him : and I will raise him 
 up at the last day. 
 
 45 c It is written in the prophets, And they shall 
 be all taught of God. ''Every man therefore that hath 
 heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. 
 
 46 e Not that any man hath seen the Father, -/'save 
 ne which is of God, he hath seen the Father. 
 
 47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, *He that be- 
 lieveth on me hath everlasting life. 
 
 48 'I am that bread of life. 
 
 49 ' Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, 
 and are dead. 
 
 50 *This is the bread which, cometh down from 
 heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. 
 
 51 1 am the living bread 'which came down from 
 heaven : if any man eat of this bread, he shall live 
 for ever: and '"the bread that I will give is my flesh, 
 which I will give for the life of the world. 
 
 52 The Jews therefore "strove among themselves, 
 saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat? 
 
 53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I 
 say unto you, Except p ye eat the flesh of the Son 
 of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. 
 
 54 "Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, 
 hath eternal life ; and I will raise him up at the last day. 
 
 55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is 
 urink indeed. 
 
 56 He that Qateth my flesh, and drinketh my 
 Dlood, r dwelletn in me, and I in him. 
 
 57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live 
 by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall 
 live by me. 
 
 58 'This is that bread which came down from 
 heaven : not as your fathers did eat manna, and are 
 dead : he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever. 
 
 59 These things said he in the synagogue, as he 
 taught in Capernaum. 
 
 60 'Many therefore of his disciples, when they had 
 heard Mis,said,This is an hard saying; who can hear it? 
 
 61 When Jesus knew in himself that his disci- 
 ples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this 
 offend you? 
 
 62 " What and if ye shall see the Son of man as- 
 cend up where. he was before? 
 
 63 x It is the Spirit that quickeneth; the flesh 
 profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, 
 they are spirit, and they are life. 
 
 64 But y there are some of you that believe not. 
 For z Jesus knew from the beginning who they were 
 that believed not, and who should betray him. 
 
 65 And he said, Therefore "said I unto you, that 
 no man can come unto me, except it were given 
 unto him of my Father. 
 
 66 IF 6 From that time many of his disciples went 
 back, and walked no more with him. 
 
 67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also 
 go away? 
 
 68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to 
 whom shall we go ? thou hast c the words of eternal life. 
 
 69 ''And we helieve, and are sure that thou art 
 that Christ, the Son of the living God. 
 
 70 Jesus answered them, c Have not I chosen you 
 twelve, •'and one of you is a devil?

 1 Jesus, exhorted by hu unbelieving kinsmen to shew himself, 10 goeth 
 secretly to the feast ; 14 he teacheth in the temple. . . .40 Divert 
 opinions concerning Christ. 45 The Pharisees are angry at their ojficert,$c 
 
 AFTER these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for 
 he would not walk in Jewry, ° because the Jews 
 sought to kill him. 
 
 2 'Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles was at hand. 
 
 3 c IIis brethren therefore said unto him, Depart 
 hence, and go into Judea, that thy disciples also 
 may see the works that thou doest. 
 
 4 For there is no man that doeth any thing in se- 
 cret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly 
 If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world. 
 
 5 (For ''neither did his brethren believe in him.) 
 
 6 Then Jesus said unto them, 'My time is not 
 yet come: but your time is always ready. 
 
 7 ^'The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, 
 s because I testify of it, that the works thereof are 
 evil. 
 
 8 Go ye up unto this feast : I go not up yet unto 
 this feast; A for my time is not yet full come. 
 
 9 When he had said these words unto them, he 
 abode still in Galilee. 
 
 10 TIBut when his brethren were gone up, then 
 went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as 
 it were in secret. 
 
 11 Then 'the Jews sought him at the feast, and 
 said, Where is he? 
 
 12 And k there was much murmuring among the 
 people concerning him: for 'some said, He is a good 
 man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people. 
 
 13 Howbeit, no man spake openly of him, m for 
 fear of the Jews. 
 
 14 31 Now about the midst of the feast, Jesus went 
 up into the temple and taught. 
 
 15 "And the Jews marvelled, saying, Howknow- 
 eth this man || letters, having never learned ? 
 
 16 Jesus answered them, and said, "My doctrine 
 is not mine, but his that sent me. 
 
 17 ^ If any man will do his will, he shall know 
 of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I 
 speak of myself. 
 
 18 r/ IIe that speaketh of himself, seeketh his own 
 glory : but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, 
 the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him. 
 
 19 r Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none 
 of you keepeth the law? J Why go ye about to kill 
 me? 
 
 20 The people answered and said, 'Thou hast a 
 devil : who goeth about to kill thee ? 
 
 21 Jesus answered and said unto them, I have 
 done one work, and ye all marvel. 
 
 22 "Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision, 
 (not because it is of Moses, ^but of the fathers;) 
 and ye on the sabbath-day circumcise a man. 
 
 2o If a man on the sabbath-day receive circum- 
 cision, || that the law of Moses should not be broken; 
 are ye angry at me, because ' y I have made a man 
 every whit whole on the sabbath-day? 
 
 24 z Judge not according to the appearance, but 
 judg_e righteous judgment. 
 
 25 Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is r,ol 
 this he whom they seek to kill? 
 
 26 But lo, he speaketh boldly, aa^ they sav 
 
know indeed 
 
 Divers opinions* concerning Christ. 
 
 nothing unto him. "Do the rulers 
 that this is 1 the very Christ? 
 
 27 * llowbeit, Ave know this man, whence he is : but 
 when Christ cometh, no man knowelh whence he is. 
 
 28 Then cried Jesus in the temple, as he taught, 
 saying, f Ye both know me, and ye know whence I 
 am: and d I am not come of myseif, but he that sent 
 me e is true, f whom ye know not. 
 
 29 But "I know him; for I am from him, and he 
 hath sent me. 
 
 30 Then A they sought to take him: but 'no man 
 laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come? 
 
 31 And *many of the people believed on him, and 
 said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles 
 than these which this man hath done? 
 
 32 If The Pharisees heard that the people mur- 
 mured such things concerning him: and the Phar- 
 isees and the chief priests sent officers to take him. 
 
 33 Then said Jesus unto them, 'Yet a little while 
 am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me, 
 
 34 Ye '"shall seek me, and shall not find me: and 
 where I am, thither ye cannot come. 
 
 35 Then said the Jews among themselves, Whi- 
 ther will he go, that we shall not find him? will he 
 go unto "the dispersed among the || Gentiles, and 
 teach the Gentiles? 
 
 36 What manner of saying is this that he said, 
 Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where 
 I am, thither ye cannot come? 
 
 37 "In the last day, that great day of the feast, 
 Jesus stood and cried, saying, ^If any man thirst, 
 let him come unto me, and drink. 
 
 38 ? He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath 
 said, r out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. 
 
 39 ('But this spake he of the Spirit, which they 
 that believe on him should receive, for the Holy 
 Ghost was not yet given, because that Jesus was 
 not yet 'glorified.) 
 
 40 IF Many of the people therefore, when they 
 heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is " the Prophet. 
 
 41 Others said, ^This is the Christ. But some 
 said, Shall Christ come ^out of Galilee? 
 
 42 z Hath not the scripture said, That Christ 
 cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town 
 of Bethlehem, "where David was? 
 
 43 So * there was a division among the people be- 
 cause of him. 
 
 44 And e some of them would have taken him; 
 but no man laid hands on him. 
 
 45 IF Then came the officers to the chief priests 
 and Pharisees ; and they said unto them, Why have 
 ye not brought him? 
 
 46. The officers answered, rf Never man spake like 
 this man. 
 
 47 Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye 
 also deceived ? 
 
 48 "Have any of the rulers, or of the Pharisees 
 believed on him? 
 
 49 But this people who knoweth not the law are 
 cursed. 
 
 50 Nicodemus saith unto them, (•''he that came 
 f to Jesus by night, being one of them,) 
 
 51 *Doth our law judge any man before it hear 
 him, and know what he doeth ? 
 
 52 They answered and said unto him, Art thou 
 also of Galilee? Search, and look: for A out of Gal- 
 ..ee ariseth no prophet. 
 
 53 And every man went unto his own house.

 Of the adulterous woman 
 CHAP. VIII. 
 
 1 Christ delivereth a woman taken in adultery ; 21 fie pre.acheth himttlf <Aj 
 liyht of lite world, and jwlifieth his doctrine. 
 
 JESUS went unto the mount of Olives: 
 2 And early in the morning he came again into 
 the temple, and all the people came unto him ; and 
 he sat down and taught them. 
 
 3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto 
 him a woman taken in adultery: and when they 
 had set her in the midst, 
 
 4 They say unto him, Master, this woman wm» 
 taken in adultery, in the very act. 
 
 5 "Now Moses in the law commanded us, that 
 such should be stoned : but what sayest thou ? 
 
 6 This they said, tempting him, that they might 
 have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and 
 with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he 
 heard them not. 
 
 7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted 
 up himself, and said unto them, 6 He that is without 
 sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. 
 
 8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the- 
 ground. 
 
 9 And they which heard it, c being convicted by 
 their oivn conscience, went out one by one, begin- 
 ning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was 
 left alone, and the Avoman standing in the midst. 
 
 10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and sa\v none 
 but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, Avhere are 
 those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? 
 
 11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said un- 
 to her, ''Neither do I condemn thee: go, and 'sin 
 no more. 
 
 12 IF Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, 
 fl am the light of the world : he that folloAveth me shall 
 not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. 
 
 13 The Pharisees therefore said unto him, *Thou 
 bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true. 
 
 14 Jesus answered and said unto them, Though 
 I bear record of myself, yet my record is true : lot 
 
 I know Avhence I came, and whither I 
 
 go 
 
 but 
 
 ye 
 
 cannot tell Avhence I come, and Avhither I go. 
 
 15 'Ye judge after the flesh, * I judge no man. 
 
 16 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true : for ' 1 
 am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me. 
 
 17 m It is also Avritten in your law, that the testi- 
 mony of two men is true. 
 
 18 I am one that bear witness of myself; and 
 n the Father that sent me, beareth Avitness of me. 
 
 19 Then said they unto him, Where is thy Fa- 
 ther? Jesus answered, "Ye neither know me, noi 
 my Father: ^if ye had knoAvn me, ye should have 
 known my Father also. 
 
 20 These Avords spake Jesus in 'the treasury, as 
 he taught in the temple: and r no man laid hands 
 on him, for 'his hour was not yet come. 
 
 21 Then said Jesus again unto them, I- go my 
 way, and 'ye shall seek me, and "shall die in your 
 sins : Avhither I go, ye cannot come. 
 
 22 Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? bo- 
 cause he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come. 
 
 23 And he said unto them, * Ye are from beneath ; 
 I am from above: y ye are of this world; I am not 
 of this world. 
 
 24 * I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die 
 in your sins : "for if ye believe not that I am he, yts 
 shall die in your sins. 
 
 25 Then said the} r unto him, Who art thou? Ad i1 
 
 617 
 
Chrisi reprove! h the Jews : 
 
 Jesus saith unto them. Even the same that I said 
 unto vou from the beginning. 
 
 20* I have many things to say, and to judge of 
 you: but 6 he that sent me, is true; and c l speak to 
 the world those things which I have heard of him. 
 
 27 They understood not that he spake to them 
 of the Father. 
 
 28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have 
 lifted up the Son of man, 'then shall ye know that 
 
 I am he, and f that I do nothing of myself; but *as 
 my Father hath taught me, I speak these things. 
 
 29 And ''he that sent me is with me: 'the Father 
 hath not left me alone; *for I do always those 
 things that please him. 
 
 30 As he spake these words, 'many believed on him. 
 
 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed 
 on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my 
 disciples indeed; 
 
 32 And ye shall know the truth, and "'the truth 
 shall make you free. 
 
 33 If They answered him, "We be Abraham's 
 seed, and were never in bondage to any man : how 
 sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? 
 
 34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto 
 you, "Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. 
 
 35 And ^the servant abMeth not in the house for 
 ever, but the Son abideth ever. 
 
 36 'If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye 
 shall be free indeed. 
 
 37 I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but r ye 
 seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in 
 you. 
 
 38 'I speak that which I have seen with my 
 Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with 
 your father. 
 
 39 They answered and said unto him, 'Abraham 
 is our father. Jesus saith unto them, "If ye were Abra- 
 ham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham. 
 
 40 r But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath 
 told you the truth, y which 1 have heard of God : 
 this did not Abraham. 
 
 41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said 
 they to him, We be not born of fornication; z we 
 have one Father, even God. 
 
 42 Jesus said unto them, " If God were your Father, 
 ye would love me: A for I proceeded forth and came 
 from God; 'neither came I of myself, but he sent me. 
 
 43 "Why do ye not understand my' speech? even 
 because ye cannot hear my word. 
 
 44 e Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts 
 of your father ye will do: he was a murderer from 
 the beginning, and •/'abode not in the truth ; because 
 there is no uath in him. When he speaketh a lie. 
 he speaketh of his own : for he is a liar, and the 
 father of it. 
 
 45 And because 1 tell you the truth, ye believe 
 me not. 
 
 46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if 
 1 fay the truth, why do ye not believe me? 
 
 47 *He that is of God, heareth God's words: ye 
 therefore hear them Hot, because ye are not of God. 
 
 48 Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, 
 Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and 
 •bast a devil? 
 
 49 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I 
 honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me. 
 
 59 And I 'seek not mine own glory: there is one 
 that seeketh and judgeth.

 51 Verity verily, I say unto you. *If a man kee] 
 my saying, he shall never see death. 
 
 52 Then said the -Jews unto him, Now we kno\* 
 that thou hast a devil. 'Abraham is dead, and the 
 prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my say 
 ing, he shall never taste of death. 
 
 53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, 
 which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom 
 makest thou thyself? 
 
 54 Jesus answered, m If I honour myself, my hon- 
 our 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 should say, I know him not, I shall be a liai 
 like unto you : but I know him, and keep his saying. 
 
 56 Your father Abraham ^ rejoiced to see mj 
 day: 'and he saw it, and was glad. 
 
 57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not 
 yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? 
 
 58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say 
 unto you, Before Abraham was, r I am. 
 
 59 Then •'took they up stones to cast a* nim : but 
 Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, ' going 
 through the midst of them, and so passed by. 
 
 CHAP. IX. 
 
 1 A man that was born blind is restored to sight; 13 he is brought to tht 
 Pharisees ; 34 they excommunicate him. 35 Christ receiveth him, Sfc 
 
 AND as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which 
 was blind from his birth. 
 
 2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, 
 "who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was 
 born blind ? 
 
 3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, 
 nor his parents: ''but that the works of God should 
 be made manifest in him. 
 
 4 C I must work the works of him that sent me, 
 while it is day : the night cometh, when no man can 
 work. 
 
 5 As long as I am in the world, d l am the light 
 of the world. 
 
 6 When he had thus spoken, e he spat on the 
 ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he || an- 
 ointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay, 
 
 7 And said unto him, Go, wash J m the pool of 
 Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) *He 
 went his way therefore, and washed, and came 
 seeing. 
 
 8 II The neighbours therefore, and they which be- 
 fore had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not 
 this he that 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 unto him, How were 
 thine eyes opened? 
 
 11 He answered and said, h A man that is called 
 Jesus, made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said 
 unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: ^nd 
 I went and washed, and I received sight. 
 
 12 Then said they unto him, Where is he? He 
 said, I know not. 
 
 13 TIThey brought to the Pharisees him that 
 aforetime was blind. 
 
 14 And it was the sabbath-day when Jesus made 
 the clay, and opened his eyes. 
 
 15 Then again the Pharisees also asked him how 
 he had received his sight. He said unto them, He 
 put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see. 
 
 16 Therefore said" some of the Pharisees, Thia 
 
 I 
 
 
The Jews offended thereat. 
 
 man is not of God. because he keepeth not the sab- 
 bath-day. Others said, 'How can a man that is a 
 sinner do such miracles? And *'there was a division 
 -unong them. 
 
 17 They say unto the blind man again, What say- 
 est thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes ? 
 lie said, 'He is a prophet. 
 
 18 Bat the Jews did not believe concerning him, 
 that he had been blind, and received his sight, until 
 they called the parents of him that 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 by what means he now seeth, we know 
 not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he 
 is of age ; ask him : he shall speak for himself. 
 
 22 These words spake his parents, because '"they 
 feared the Jews : for the Jews had agreed already, 
 that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he 
 "should be put out of the synagogue. 
 
 23 Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask 
 him. 
 
 24 Then again called they the man that was blind, 
 and said unto him, "Give God the praise : y 'we know 
 that this man is a sinner. 
 
 25 He answered and said, Whether he be a sin- 
 ner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, 
 whereas I was blind, now I see. 
 
 26 Then said they 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: wherefore would ye hear it 
 again ? will ye also be his disciples ? 
 
 28 Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his 
 disciple; but we are Moses' disciples. 
 
 29 We know that God spake unto Moses; as for 
 this fellow, 'we know not from whence he is. 
 
 30 The man answered and said unto them, r Why, 
 herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from 
 whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes. 
 
 31 Now we know that 'God heareth not sinners: 
 but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth 
 his will, him he heareth. 
 
 32 Since the world began was it not heard that 
 any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind. 
 
 33 'If this man were not of God, he could do 
 nothing. 
 
 34 They answered and said unto him, " Thou wast 
 altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us ? 
 And they || cast him out. 
 
 35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out: and 
 when he had found him, he said unto him. Dost thou 
 believe on x the Son of God? 
 
 36 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that 
 I might believe on him ? 
 
 37 And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen 
 him, and y it is he that talketh with thee. 
 
 38 And he said, Lord, 1 believe. And he wor- 
 shipped him. 
 
 o9 II And Jesus said, s For judgment I am come 
 into this world ; "that they which see not might see, 
 and that they which see, might be made blind. 
 
 40 And some of the Pharisees which were with 
 him heard these words, *and said unto him, Are we 
 blind also V

 CHAP. X. 
 
 1 Christ is the door, and the, good shepherd : 25 he proveth by his vtirki 
 that he. is Chrvit, and asscrleth his unity with the Father. 
 
 YEIIILY, verily, I say unto you, He that enter- 
 eth not by the door into the sheepfold, bul 
 climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief 
 and a robber. 
 
 2 But he that 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 his own sheep, he 
 goeth before them, and the sheep follow him : for 
 they know his voice. 
 
 5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee 
 from him : for they know not the voice of strangers. 
 
 6 This parable spake Jesus unto them : but they 
 understood not what things they were which he 
 spake unto them. 
 
 7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, 
 I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. 
 
 8 All that ever came before me are thieves and 
 robbers : but the sheep did not hear them. 
 
 9 a I am the door; by me if any man tenter in, he 
 shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. 
 
 10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to 
 kill, and to destroy : I am come that they might have 
 life, and that they might have it more abundantly. 
 
 11 b I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd 
 giveth his life for the sheep. 
 
 12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shep- 
 herd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf 
 coming, and e leaveth the sheep and fleeth ; and the 
 wolf catcheth them, 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 rf know m}' shec]>, 
 and am known of mine. 
 
 15 e As the Father knoweth me, even so know I 
 the Father : -^and I lay down my life for the sheep. 
 
 16 And ^ other sheep I have, which are not of this 
 fold : them also I must bring, and they shall hear my 
 voice; "and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. 
 
 17 Therefore doth my Father love me, 'because 1 
 lay down my life, that I might take it again. 
 
 18 No man 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. 'This commandment 
 have I received of my Father. 
 
 19 IT m There was a division therefore again 
 among the Jews for these sayings. 
 
 20 And many of them said, "He hath a devil, 
 and is mad ; why hear ye him ? 
 
 21 Others said, These are not the words of him 
 that hath a devil. "Can a devil ''open the eyes of 
 the blind ? 
 
 22 II And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the 
 dedication, and it was winter. 
 
 23 And Jesus walked in the temple 'in Solomon's 
 porch. 
 
 24 Then came the Jews round about him, and 
 said unto him, How lone; dost thou || make us to 
 doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly. 
 
 25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye 
 
 649 
 
Christ justifid A his doctrine: 
 
 believed not: 'the works that 1 do In my Father's 
 name, they bear witness of nie. 
 
 26 But 'ye believe not, because ye are not of my 
 sheep, as I said unto you. 
 
 27 "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, 
 and they follow me : 
 
 28 And I give unto them eternal life; and x they 
 shall never perish, neither shall any pluck them out 
 of my hand. 
 
 29 "My Father, 'which gave them me, is greater 
 than all; and none is able to pluck them out of my 
 Father's hand. 
 
 30 ' I and my Father are one.- 
 
 31 Then Hhe Jews took up stones again to stone 
 hiin. 
 
 32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have 
 I shewed you from my Father; 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 be- 
 cause that thou, being a man, c makest thyself God. 
 
 34 Jesus answered them, ''Is it not written in 
 your law, I said, Ye are gods ? 
 
 35 If he called them gods, e unto whom the word 
 of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; 
 
 36 Say ye of himVwhom^the Father hath sancti- 
 fied, and «sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; 
 'because I said, I am Hhe Son of God? 
 
 37 fc If I do not the works of my Father, believe 
 me not. 
 
 38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, 'believe 
 the works: that ye may know and believe '"that the 
 Father is in me, and I in him. 
 
 £9 "Therefore they sought again to take him; but 
 he escaped out of their hand, 
 
 40 And went away again beyond Jordan, into the 
 place " where John at first baptized ; and there he abode. 
 
 41 And many resorted unto him, and said, John 
 did no miracle; ''but all things that John spake of 
 this man were true. 
 
 42 'And many believed on him there. 
 
 CHAP. XL 
 
 1 The sickness and death of Lazarus ; Jesus rdis'eth him to life. 47 The 
 Pharisee? hold a council ayainst Christ ; Caiaphas prophesieth. 
 
 NOW a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of 
 Bethany,the town of " Mary and her sister Martha. 
 
 2 ( 6 It was that Mary which anointed the Lord 
 with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, 
 whose brother Lazarus was sick.) 
 
 3 Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, 
 Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick. 
 
 4 When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness 
 is not unto death, r but for the glory of God, that 
 the Son of God might be glorified thereby. 
 
 5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and 
 Lazarus. 
 
 6 When he had heard therefore that he was sick, d he 
 abode two days still in the same place where he was. 
 
 I Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us 
 go into Judea again. 
 
 8 His disciples say unto him, Master, "the Jews 
 of late sought to stone thee ; and goest thou thither 
 again ? 
 
 9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in 
 the day? ^ If any man walk in the day, he stum- 
 ble th not-, because he seeth the light of this world. 
 
 10 But *il a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, 
 booause there is no light in him

 He raiseth Lazarus t» life. 
 
 11 These things said he : and after that he sa!t.h 
 unto them, Our friend Lazarus A sleepeth; but 1 gu 
 that I may awake him out of sleep. 
 
 12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he 
 shall do well. 
 
 13 Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they 
 thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep. 
 
 14 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus 
 is dead. 
 
 15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not 
 there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless, 
 let us go unto him. 
 
 16 Then said Thomas, which is called Dictymus, 
 unto his fellow-disciples, Let us also go, that we 
 may die with him. 
 
 17 Then when Jesus came, he found that he had 
 lain in the grave four days already. 
 
 18 (Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, 
 II about fifteen furlongs oft':) 
 
 19 And many of the Jews came to Martha and 
 Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother. 
 
 20 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus 
 was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still 
 in the house. 
 
 21 Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou 
 hadst been here, my brother had not died. 
 
 22 But I know that even now, 'whatsoever thou 
 wilt ask of God, God will give it thee. 
 
 23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. 
 
 24 Martha saith unto him, *I know that he shall 
 rise again in the resurrection at the last day. 
 
 25 Jesus said unto her, I am 'the resurrection, 
 and the m life: "he that believeth in me, though he 
 were dead, yet shall he live. 
 
 26 And whosoever liveth, and believeth in me, 
 shall never die. Believest thou this? 
 
 27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord : "I believe that 
 art the Christ, the Son of God, w r hich should 
 into the world. 
 And when she had so said, she went her way, 
 
 and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The 
 Master is come, and calleth for thee. 
 
 29 As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, 
 and came unto him. 
 
 30 Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, 
 but was in that place where Martha met him. 
 
 31 ''The Jews then which were with her in the 
 house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary that 
 she rose up hastily, and went out, followed" her, 
 saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep there. 
 
 32 Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, 
 and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto 
 him, 'Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother 
 had not died. 
 
 33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and 
 the Jews also weeping which came with her, he 
 groaned in the spirit, and f was troubled, 
 
 34 And said, Where have ye laid him? They 
 say unto him, Lord, come and see. 
 
 35 r Jesus wept. 
 
 36 Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him ! 
 
 37 And some of them said, Could not this man, 
 'which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused 
 that eA r en this man should not have died? 
 
 38 Jesus therefore again groaningin himself, cometh 
 to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it. 
 
 39 Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Mar- 
 tha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, 
 
 thou 
 come 
 
 28 
 
 ! 
 
 
Caiaphas propJiesietn. 
 
 Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been 
 dead four days. 
 
 40^ Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, 
 that if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest 'see 
 the glory of God? 
 
 41 Then they took away the stone from the place 
 where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his e} r es, 
 and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me: 
 
 42 And I knew that thou hearest me always : but 
 "because of the people which stand by, I saidVif, that 
 they may believe that thou hast sent me. 
 
 43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with 
 a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. 
 
 44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand 
 and foot with grave-clothes : and x his face was bound 
 about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose 
 him, and let him go. 
 
 45 Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, 
 "and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed 
 on him. 
 
 46 But some of them went their ways to the Phar- 
 isees, and told them what things Jesus had done. 
 
 47 T z Then gathered the chief priests and the 
 Pharisees a council, and said, "What do we? for 
 this man doeth many miracles. 
 
 48 If we let him thus alone, all men will believe 
 on him : and the Romans shall come, and take away 
 both our place and nation. 
 
 49 And one of them, named b Caiaphas, being the 
 high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know 
 nothing at all, 
 
 50 c Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that 
 one man should die for the people, and that the 
 whole nation perish not. 
 
 51 And this spake he not of himself: but being 
 high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should 
 die for that nation; 
 
 52 And rf not for that nation only, e but that also 
 he should gather together in one the children of God 
 that were scattered abroad. 
 
 53 Then from that day forth they took counsel 
 together for to put him to death. 
 
 54 Jesus /therefore walked no more openly among 
 the Jews; but went thence unto a country near to 
 the wilderness, into a city called g Ephraim, and there 
 continued with his disciples. 
 
 55 IP And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: 
 and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem 
 before the passover, to purify themselves. 
 
 56 'Then sought they for Jesus, and spake among 
 themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think 
 ye, that he will not come to the feast? 
 
 57 Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees 
 had given a commandment, that, if any man knew 
 where he were, he should shew it, that they might 
 take him.

 domimi Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the 
 house was filled with the odour ot the ointment. 
 
 4 Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscai i</,, 
 Simon's son, which should betray him, 
 
 5 Why was not this ointment sold for tnree hun- 
 dred 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 bag, and 
 bare what was put therein. 
 
 7 Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against, the 
 day of my burying hath she kept this. 
 
 8 For 'the poor always ye have with you; but 
 me ye have not always. 
 
 9 Much people of the Jews therefore knew that 
 he was there: and they came, not for Jesus' sake 
 only, but that they might see Lazarus alsa^whom 
 he had raised from the dead. 
 
 10 If 4 ' But the chief priests consulted that they 
 might put Lazarus also to death; 
 
 11 A Because that by reason of him many of the 
 Jews w T ent away, and believed on Jesus. 
 
 12 IF 'On the next day, much people that were 
 come to the feast, when they heard that Jusus was 
 coming to Jerusalem, 
 
 13 Took branches of palm-trees, and went forth 
 to meet him, and criecL *Hosanna; Blessed is the 
 King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord. 
 
 14 'And Jesus, when he had found 
 sat thereon; as it is written, 
 
 15 '"Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King 
 cometh, sitting on an ass's colt. 
 
 16 These things "understood not his disciples at 
 the first: "but when Jesus w r as glorified, ''then re- 
 membered the}' that these things were written of 
 him, and that they had done these things unto him. 
 
 17 The people therefore that was with him when 
 he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him 
 from the dead, bare record. 
 
 18 ? For this cause the people also met him, foi 
 that they heard that he had done this miracle. 
 
 19 The Pharisees therefore said among them- 
 selves, 'Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, 
 the world is gone after him. 
 
 20 H And there 'were certain Greeks among them, 
 'that came up to worship at the feast. 
 
 21 The same came therefore to Philip, "which 
 was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, 
 Sir, we would see Jesus. 
 
 22 Philip cometh and telleth Andrew : and again, 
 Andrew and Philip tell Jesus. 
 
 23 II And Jesus answered them, saying, •'"The hour 
 is come, that the Son of man should be glorified. 
 
 24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, y Except a corn 
 of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth 
 alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruic. 
 
 25 'He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he 
 that hateth his life in this world, shall keep it unto 
 life eternal. 
 
 26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and 
 " where I am, there shall also my servant be : if any 
 man serve me, him will my Father honour. 
 
 27 *Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I 
 say? Father, save me from this hour: f but for this 
 cause came I unto this hour. 
 
 28 Father, glorify thy name. ''Then came there 
 a voice from heaven, sai/ing, I have both "glorified 
 it, and will glorify it again.

 spake to him. 
 
 30 Jesus answered and said, f This voice came not 
 because of me, but for your sakes. 
 
 31 Now is the judgment of *his world: now 
 shall Ahe prince of this world be cast out. 
 
 32 And I, 'if I be lifted up from the earth, will 
 draw A all men unto me.

 34 The people answered him, *We have heard 
 out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how 
 Rayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? 
 Who is this Son of man? 
 
 35 Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while 
 'is the light with you. m Walk while ye have the light, 
 lest darkness come upon you : for "he that walketh in 
 darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. 
 
 36 While ye have light, believe in the light, that 
 ye may be " the children of light. These things spake 
 Jesus, and departed, and ''did hide himself from them. 
 
 37 IF But though he had done so many miracles 
 before them, yet they believed not on him : 
 
 38 That the saying of Esaias the prophet might 
 be fulfilled, which he spake, q Lord, who hath believed 
 our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord 
 been revealed? 
 
 39 Therefore thej r could not believe, because that 
 Esaias said again, 
 
 40 'He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their 
 heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor 
 understand with their heart, and be converted, and I 
 should heal them. 
 
 41 'These things said Esaias, when he saw his 
 glory, and spake of him. 
 
 42 IF Nevertheless, among the chief rulers also 
 many believed on him ; but 'because of the Pharisees 
 they did not confess him, lest they should be put out 
 of the synagogue : 
 
 43 "For they loved the praise of men more than 
 the praise of God. 
 
 44 IF Jesus cried, and said, r He that believeth on 
 me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me: 
 
 45 And he y that seeth me seeth him that sent me. 
 
 46 * I am come a light into the world, that whoso- 
 ever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. 
 
 47 And if any man hear my words and believe 
 not, "I judge him not: for "1 came not to judge the 
 world, hut to save the world. 
 
 48 c He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my 
 v/ords, hath one that judgeth him: ''the word that I 
 have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. 
 
 49 For e I have not spoken of myself; but the 
 Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, 
 ' what I should say, and what I should speak. 
 
 50 And I know that his commandment is life ever- 
 lasting : whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the 
 Father said unto me, so I speak.

 Jesus washelh his disciples' feet 
 
 3 Jesus knowing ''that the Father had given all 
 things into his hands, and 'that he was come from 
 God, and went to God; 
 
 4 ■''He riseth from supper, and laid aside his gar- 
 ments; and took a towel, and girded himself. 
 
 5 After that, he poureth water into a basin, an<? 
 began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them 
 with the towel wherewith he was girded. 
 
 6 Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and f Peter 
 saith unto him, Lord, *dost thou wash my feet? 
 
 7 Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do 
 thou knowest not now ; A but thou shalt know hereafter. 
 
 8 Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash 
 my feet. Jesus answered him, 'If I wash thee not, 
 thou hast no part with me. 
 
 9 Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet 
 only, but also my hands and my head. 
 
 10 Jesus saith unto him, He that is washed needeth 
 not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: 
 and *ye are clean, but not all. 
 
 11 For 'he knew who should betray him: there 
 ^ore said he, Ye are not all clean. 
 
 12 So after he had washed their feet, and had 
 taken his garments, and was set down again, he said 
 unto them, Know ye what I have done to you? 
 
 13 w Ye call me Master, and Lord: and ye say 
 well . for so I am. 
 
 14 "If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed 
 your feet; "ye also ought to wash one another's feet. 
 
 15 For *I have given you an example, that ye 
 should do as I have done to you. 
 
 16 'Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant 
 is not greater than his lord ; neither he that is sent 
 greater than he that sent him. 
 
 17 r If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye 
 do them. 
 
 18 IF I speak not of you all; I know whom 1 have 
 chosen; but that the scrip! ure maybe fulfilled, 'He that 
 eateth bread with me, hath li fted up his heel against me. 
 
 19 'IINow I tell you before it come, that when it 
 is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he. 
 
 20 "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that re- 
 ceiveth whomsoever I send, receiveth me; and he 
 that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. 
 
 21 x When Jesus had thus said, y he was troubled in 
 [spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say un- 
 to you, that *one of you shall betray me. 
 
 22 Then the disciples looked one on another, 
 doubting of whom he spake. 
 
 23 Now "there was leaning on Jesus' bosom, one 
 of his disciples, whom Jesus loved. 
 
 24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that 
 he should ask who it should be of whom he spake. 
 
 25 He then, lying on Jesus' breast, saith unto 
 him, Lord, who is it? 
 
 26 Jesus answered, He it is to whom I shall give 
 a || sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped 
 the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot the son of Simon. 
 
 27 "And after the sop Satan entered into him. 
 Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly. 
 
 28 Now no man at the table knew for what 
 intent he spake this unto him. 
 
 29 For some of them thought, because c Judas had 
 the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy those 
 things that we have need of against the feast; or, 
 that he should give something to the poor. 
 
 30 He then, having received the sop. went imme- 
 diately out: and it was night. 
 
Christ comfort dh his disciples. 
 
 CHAP. XK, XV. 
 
 31 II Therefore, when he was crone out, Jesus 
 said, "'Now is the Son of man glorified, and c God is 
 glorified in him. 
 
 32 -/"If God be glorified in him, God shall also glo- 
 rify him in himself, and *shall straightway glorify him. 
 
 33 Little children, yet a little while I am with you. 
 Ye shall seek me; *and, as I said unto the Jews, 
 Whither I go, ye cannot come, so now I say to you. 
 
 34 'A new commandment I give unto you, That 
 ye love one another; as I have loved you, that yc 
 also love one another. 
 
 35 *By this shall all men know that ye are my 
 disciples, if ye have love one to another. 
 
 30 IT Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither 
 goest thou? Jesus answered him, Whither ] go, 
 thou canst not follow me nuw; but 'thou shalt fol- 
 low me afterwards. 
 
 37 Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I fol- 
 low thee now? I will m lay down my life for thy sake. 
 
 38 Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay clown thy 
 life for my sake ? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The 
 cock shall not crow, till thou hast deuied me thrice.

 1 Christ comforteth his disciples: 5 prnfesseth himself the way,the. truth, and the 
 life, 9 and that he is one with the Father: 27 he havetli his peace with them. 
 
 LET "not your heart be troubled : ye believe in 
 God, believe also in me. 
 
 2 In my Father's house are many mansions : if it 
 were not so, I would have told you. -I go to pre- 
 pare a place for you. 
 
 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, C I 
 will come again and receive you unto myself; that 
 ' where I am, there ye may be also. 
 
 4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. 
 
 5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not 
 whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? 
 
 o Jesus saith unto him, I am e the way, and Ahe 
 truth, and *the life : A no man cometh unto the Father, 
 but by me. 
 
 7 'If ye had known me, ye should have known 
 my Father also : and from henceforth ye know him, 
 and have seen him. 
 
 8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, 
 and it sufficeth us. 
 
 9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time 
 with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip ? 
 *he that hath seen me, hath seen the Father; and 
 how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father ? 
 
 10 Believest thou not that 'I am in the Father, 
 and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto 
 you, m I speak not of myself: but the Father, that 
 d .velleth 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 unto you, He that be- 
 tieveth on me, the works that I do shall he do also ; 
 and greater works than these shall he do ; because I 
 go unto my Father. 
 
 J 3 ^And whatsoever ye shall ask in mj r name, 
 that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in 
 the Son. 
 
 14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, 1 will 
 do it.

 21 f He that hath my commandments, and keep- 
 eth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that lev 
 eth me, shall be loved of my Father, and I will love 
 him, and will manifest myself to him. 
 
 22 ''Judas saith unto him, (not Iscariot) Lord, 
 how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, 
 and not unto the world ? 
 
 23 Jesus answered and said unto him, 'If a man 
 love me, he will keep my words : and my Father 
 will love him, ^'and we will come unto him, and 
 make our abode with him. 
 
 24 He that loveth me not, keepeth not my say- 
 ings : and A 'the word which ye hear is not mine, bui 
 the Father's which sent me. 
 
 25 These things have I spoken unto you, being 
 yet present with you. 
 
 26 But A the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, 
 whom the Father will send in my name, 'he shall 
 teach you all things, and bring all things to your 
 remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. 
 
 27 K Peace I leave with }'ou, my peace I give unto 
 you : not as the world giveth, give I unto you. 'Lei 
 not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. 
 
 28 Ye have heard how '"I said unto you, I go 
 away, and come again unto you If ye loved me, 
 ye would rejoice, because I said, "I go unto the 
 Father : for "my Father is greater than I. 
 
 29 And ''now I have told you before it come to 
 pass, that when it is come to pass, ye might believe. 
 
 30 Hereafter I will not talk much with y ou ; q for the 
 prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me 
 
 31 But that the world may know that I love the

 The union between Christ and his church, under the parable of a vine, Src. 
 
 I AM the true vine, and my Father is the hus- 
 bandman. 
 
 2 "Every branch in me that beareth not fruit, he 
 taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, 
 he purge th it, that it may bring forth more fiuit. 
 
 3 'I*Jow ye are clean through the word which I 
 have spoken unto you. 
 
 4 c Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch 
 cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the 
 vine : no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 
 
 5 I am the vine, ye are the branches : He that 
 abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth 
 much rf fruit: for || without me ye can do nothing. 
 
 6 If a man abide not in me, 'he is cast forth as a 
 branch, and is withered ; ami men gather them, and 
 cast them into the fire, and they are burned. 
 
 7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide iu you, 
 f ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto 
 you. 
 
 8 e Herein is my Father glorified, that ye beai 
 i much fruit ; A so shall ye be my

 glorified, that

Christ's love to his church. 
 
 9 As the Father hath loved me, so have 1 loved 
 you : continue ye in my love. 
 
 10 'If ye keep my commandments, ye shall 
 abide in my love; even as I have kept m\ Father's 
 commandments, and abide in his love. 
 
 11 These things have I spoken unto you, that 
 my joy might remain in you, and k that your joy 
 might he full. 
 
 12 'This is my commandment, That ye love one 
 another, as I have loved you. 
 
 13 "Greater love hath no man than this, that a 
 man lay down his life for his friends. 
 
 14 "Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever 1 
 command you. 
 
 15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the 
 servant knoweth not what his lord cloeth: but I 
 have called you friends; "for all things that I have 
 heard of my Father, I have made known unto you. 
 
 16 p Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen 
 you, and 'ordained you, that ye should go and 
 bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: 
 that '"whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my 
 name, he may give it you. 
 
 17 'These things 1 command you, that ye love 
 one another. 
 
 18 'If the world hate you, ye know that it 
 hated me before it hated you. 
 
 19 "If ye were of the world, the world would 
 love his 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 unto you, y The 
 6ervant is not greater than his lord. If they have 
 persecuted me, they will also persecute you : z if they 
 nave kept my saying, they will keep yours also. 
 
 21 But °ali these things will they do unto you for my 
 name's sake, because they know not him that sent me. 
 
 22 6 If I had not come and spoken unto them, 
 they had not had sin: c but now they have no 
 !| cloak for their sin. 
 
 23 rf He that hateth me, hateth my Father also. 
 
 24 If 1 had not done among them "the works 
 which none other man did, they had not had sin : 
 Dut now have they both seen, and hated both me 
 and my Father. 
 
 25 But this cometh to pass, that the word might 
 be fulfilled that is written in their law, /r They 
 hated me without a cause. 
 
 26 *But when the Comforter is come, whom I 
 will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit 
 of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, "he 
 shall testify of me. 
 
 27 And 'ye also shall bear witness, because fc ye 
 have been with me from the beginning.

 "should not be offended. 
 
 2 6 They shall put you out of the synagogues: 
 yea, the time cometh, c that whosoever killeth you,

 3 And ''these things will they do unto you,

 4 But ' these things have I told you, that when 
 the time shall come, ye may remember that I told 
 you of them. _ And -/'these things I said not unto

 Comforts against tribulation 
 
 5 But now *I go my way to him that sent me, 
 and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou? 
 
 6 But because I have said these things untc 
 you, ''sorrow hath filled your heart. 
 
 7 Nevertheless, I tell you the truth : It is expe- 
 dient for you that I go away : for if I go not away, 
 'the Comforter will not come unto you; but * if J 
 depart, I will send him unto you. 
 
 8 And when he is come, he will || reprove the world 
 of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 
 
 9 'Of sin, because they believe not on me; 
 
 10 '"Of righteousness, "because I go to my 
 Father, and ye see me no more; 
 
 11 "Of judgment, because ^the prince of this 
 world is judged. 
 
 12 I have yet many things to say unto you, 
 'but ye cannot bear them now. 
 
 13 Howbeit, when he, 'the Spirit of truth, is come, 
 'he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not 
 speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that 
 shall he speak : and he will shew you things to come. 
 
 14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of 
 mine, and shall shew it unto you. 
 
 15 'All things that the Father bath are mine: 
 therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and 
 shall shew it unto you. 
 
 16 "A little while, and ye shall not see me: and 
 again, a little while, and ye shall see me, x because 
 
 I go to the Father. 
 
 17 Then said some of his disciples among them- 
 selves, What is this that he saith unto us, A little 
 while, and } r e shall not see me : and again, a little 
 while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to 
 the Father? 
 
 18 They said therefore, What is this that he 
 saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith. 
 
 19 Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask 
 him, and said unto them, Do ye inquire among your- 
 selves of that I said, A iittle while, and ye shall not 
 see me : and again, a little while, and } r e shall see me? 
 
 20 Verily,, verily, I say unto you, that ye shall 
 weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and 
 ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be 
 turned into joy. 
 
 21 y A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow 
 because her hour is come : but as soon as she is de- 
 livered of the child, she remeinbereth no more the 
 anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. 
 
 22 z And ye now therefore have sorrow: but 1 
 will see you again, and "your heart shall rejoice, 
 and your joy no man taketh from you. 
 
 2a And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. 
 b Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall 
 ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. 
 
 24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name : 
 ask, and ye shall receive, c that your joy may be full. 
 
 25 These things have I spoken unto you in 
 
 II proverbs ; but the time cometh when I shall no 
 more speak unto you in || proverbs, Lut I shall 
 shew you plainly of the Father. 
 
 26 "At that day ye shall ask in my name : and 1 
 say not unto you, that I will pray the lather for you • 
 
 27 e For the Father himself loveth you, because 
 ye have loved me, and -^have believed that I came 
 out from God. 
 
 28 s I came forth from the Father, and am come 
 into the world : agaiu, I leave the world, and go to 
 the Father. 
 
(forist pray eth for his disciples: CHAP. 
 
 29 His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest 
 thou plainly, and speakest no || proverb. 
 
 30 Now are we sure that A thou knowest all things, 
 and needest not that any man should ask thee : by 
 this ' we believe that thou earnest forth from God. 
 
 31 Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe? 
 
 32 * Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, 
 that ye shall be scattered 'every man to || his own, 
 and shall leave me alone : and '"yet I am not alone, 
 because the Father is with me. 
 
 _ 33 These things I have spoken unto you, that 
 'in me ye might have peace. "In the world ye 
 shall have tribulation, ''but be of good cheer: q l 
 have overcome the world. 
 
 CHAP. XVII. 
 
 1 Christ prayeth lo his Father to glorify him, 6 to preserve his apostles in 
 
 unity of faith, §c. 
 
 THESE words spake Jesus, and lifted up 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 might know 
 thee e the only true God, and Jesus Christ Avhom 
 thou hast sent. 
 
 4 e l have glorified thee on the earth: A I have 
 finished the work * which thou gavest me to do. 
 
 5 And now, Father, glorify thou me with thine 
 own self, with the glory * which I had with thee 
 before the world was. 
 
 6 'J have manifested thy name unto the men 
 "which thou gavest me out of the world : thine they 
 were, and thou gavest them me; and they have 
 kept thy word. 
 
 7 Now they have known that all things whatso- 
 ever thou hast given me are of thee : 
 
 8 For I have given unto them the words " which 
 thou gavest me; and they have received them, "and 
 have known surely that I came out from thee, and 
 they have believed that thou didst send me. 
 
 9 I pray for them: A I pray not for the world, but 
 for them which thou hast given me ; for they are thine. 
 
 10 And all mine are thine, and * thine are mine; 
 and I am glorified in them. 
 
 1 1 r And now I am no more in the world, but these 
 are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, 
 'keep through thine own name those whom thou 
 hast given me, 'that they may be one, "as we are. 
 
 12 While I was with them in the world, X I kept 
 1 hem in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have 
 kept, and y none of them is lost, *but the son of per- 
 dition; "that the scripture might be fulfilled. 
 
 13 And now come I to thee, and these things I 
 speak in the world, that they might have my joy 
 fulfilled in themselves. 
 
 14 *I have given them thy word; c and the world 
 hath hated them, because they are not of the world, 
 ''even as I am not of the world. 
 
 15 1 pray not that thou shouldest take them out 
 of tha world, but e that thou shouldest keep them 
 from the evil. 
 
 16 -/They are not of the world, even as I am not 
 of the world. 
 
 17 G Sanctify them through thy truth: Hhy word 
 is truth. 
 
 18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so 
 have 1 alsc sent them into the world. 
 
 XVli, XVIII. Judas fctrayeth Mm 
 
 19 And *for their aakes I sanctify myself. <hat 
 they also might be || sanctified through the truth. 
 
 20 Neither pray 1 for these alone; but for them 
 also which shall believe on me through their word 
 
 21 'That they all may be one; ""-as 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, even as we are one ; 
 
 23 I in them, and thou in me, 'that they may be 
 made perfect in one; and that the world may know 
 that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them as thou 
 hast loved me. 
 
 24 ''Father, I will that they also whom thou ha«t 
 given me be with me where I am; that they may

 1 Judas belrayeth Jesus ; 6 the hand 'and officers at Christ's word fall to 
 
 the ground, £c. 
 
 TTTHEN Jesus had spoken these words, "he went 
 ** forth with his disciples over ''the brook Ce- 
 dron, where was a garden, into the which he en- 
 tered, and his disciples. 
 
 2 And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the 
 place: ''for Jesus oft-times resorted thither with his 
 disciples. 
 
 3 d Judas then, having received a band of men and 
 officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh 
 thither with lanterns, and torches, and weapons. 
 
 4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should 
 come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, 
 Whom seek ye? 
 
 5 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus 
 saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which 
 betrayed him, stood with them. 
 
 6 As soon then as he had said unto them, I am 
 he, they went backward, and fell to the ground. 
 
 7 Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye 
 And they said, Jesus of Nazareth. 
 
 8 Jesus answered, I have told } r ou that I am he 
 If therefore ye seek me, let these go their way: 
 
 9 That the saying might be fulfilled which he spake, 
 'Of them which thou gavest me, have I lost none. 
 
 10 -/"'Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it, 
 and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his 
 right ear. The servant's name was MalcVus. 
 
 11 Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword 
 into the sheath \ *the cup which my Father hath 
 given me, shall 1 not drink it? 
 
 12 Then the band, and the captain, and officers 
 of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him, 
 
 13 And Med him away to 'Annas first, (for he waa 
 father-in-law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest 
 that same year.)|| 
 
 14 *Now Caiaphas was he which gave counsel to 
 the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should 
 die for the people. 
 
 15 IT' And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so 
 did another disciple. That disciple was known unto 
 the high priest, and went in with Jesus, into the 
 palace of the high priest.

Chris} arraigned before Pilate, 
 
 .16 '"But Peter stood at the door without. Then 
 went out that other disciple which was known unto 
 the high priest, and spake unto her that kept the 
 door, and brought in Peter. 
 
 17 Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto 
 Peter, Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? 
 lie saith, I am not. 
 
 18 And the servants and officers stood there, who 
 had made a fire of coals; (for it was cold) and they 
 warmed themselves : and Peter stood with them, 
 nnd warmed himself 
 
 19 If The high priest then asked Jesus of his dis- 
 ciples, a.id of his doctrine. 
 
 20 Jfc.,us answered him, "1 spake openly to the 
 world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the 
 temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in se- 
 cret have I said nothing. 
 
 21 Why askest thou me? ask them which heard 
 me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know 
 what I said. 
 
 22 And when he had thus spoken, one of the offi- 
 cers which stood by, "struck Jesus || with the palm of 
 his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so? 
 
 23 Jesus answered him, if I have spoken evil, bear 
 witness of the evil : but if well, Avhy smitest thou me ? 
 
 24 (''Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caia- 
 phas the high priest.) 
 
 25 And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. 
 7 They said therefore unto him, Art not thou also one 
 of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not. 
 
 26 One of the servants of the high priest (being 
 his kinsman whose ear Peter cut off) saith, Did not 
 I see thee in the garden with him? 
 
 27 Peter then denied again: and ""immediately 
 the cock crew. 
 
 28 IP Then led they Jesus from Caiaphasunto || the 
 hall of judgment : and it was early ; 'and they them- 
 selves went not into the judgment-hall,lest they should 
 be defiled; but that they might eat the passover. 
 
 29 Pilate then ;vent out unto them, and said, 
 What accusation bring ye against this man? 
 
 30 They answered and said unto him, If he were 
 not a malefactor, w T e would not have delivered him 
 up unto thee. 
 
 31 Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and 
 judge hirn according^ to your law. The Jews there- 
 fore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any 
 man to death . 
 
 32 "That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, 
 which he spake, signifying what death he should die. 
 
 33 J Then Pilate entered into the judgment-hall 
 again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou 
 the King of the Jews? 
 
 34 Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing 
 of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me? 
 
 35 Pilhte answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own 
 nation, and the chief priests have delivered thee 
 unto me. What hast thou done? 
 
 36 y Jesus answered, z My kingdom is not of this 
 world : if my kingdom were of this world, then would 
 my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to 
 the Jews : but now is my kingdom not from hence. 
 
 37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king 
 then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. 
 To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into 
 *:he world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. 
 Every one that "is of the truth, heareth my voice. 
 
 38 Pilate saith unto him, What is truth ? And

 1 Jesus is scourged and crowned with thorns. 11 Pilate dclivereth him Ct 
 
 be crucified, $c. 
 
 THEN "Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged 
 him. 
 
 2 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and 
 put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe, 
 
 3 And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they 
 smote him with their hands. 
 
 4 Pilate therefore w y ent forth again, and saith 
 unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, Hhat 
 ye may know that I find no fault in him. 
 
 5 Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of 
 thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto 
 them, Behold the man ! 
 
 6 c When the chief priests therefore and officers 
 saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify 
 him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ve him. and cru- 
 cify him: for I find no fault in him. 
 
 7 The Jews answered him, ' y We have a law, and 
 by our law he ought to die, because e he made him- 
 self the Son of God. 
 
 8 If When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he 
 was the more afraid; 
 
 9 And went again into the judgment-hall, and 
 saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? ^But Jesus 
 gave him no answer. 
 
 10 Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not 
 unto me ? knowest thou not, that I have power to 
 crucify thee, and have power to release thee? 
 
 1 1 Jesus answered, s Thou couldest have no power 
 at all against me, except it were given thee from 
 above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee 
 hath the greater sin. 
 
 12 And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release 
 him: but the Jews cried out, saying, A If thou let 
 this man go, thou art not Cesar's friend. 'Whoso- 
 ever maketh himself a king, speaketh against Cesar. 
 
 13 If When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he 
 brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment- 
 seat, in a place that is called the Pavement, but in 
 the Hebrew, Gabbatha. 
 
 14 And *it was the preparation of the passover, 
 and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the 
 Jews, Behold your King! 
 
 15 But they cried out, Away with him, away with 
 him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Snail \ 
 crucify your King? The chief priests answered, 
 'We have no king but Cesar. 
 
 16 "'Then delivered he him therefore unto them 
 to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him 
 away. 
 
 17 "And he bearing his cross "went forth into a 
 place called the place of a skull, which is called in 
 the Hebrew, Golgotha: 
 
 18 Where they crucified him, and two other with 
 him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst. 
 
 19 Tf^And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the 
 cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZA 
 RETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS. 
 
 20 This title then read many of the Jews : for the 
 
Knowing 
 
 that all things 
 
 'that the scripture might 
 
 Chna f-s death and burial: 
 
 place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city : 
 and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin. 
 
 21 Then said the chief priests of the Jews 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 H'Then the soldiers, when they had crucified 
 Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every 
 soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was 
 without seam, || woven from the top throughout. 
 
 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, 
 ' They parted my raiment an ong them, and for my 
 vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore 
 the soldiers did. 
 
 25 IT* Now there stood by the cross of Jesus, his 
 mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of 
 H'Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. 
 
 26 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and 
 'the disciple standing hy whom he loved, he saith 
 unto his mother, * Woman, behold thy son! 
 
 27 Then saith he to tne disciple, Behold thy 
 mother! And from that nour that disciple took her 
 y unto his own home. 
 
 28 IT After this, Jesus 
 were now accomplished, 
 be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. 
 
 29 Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: 
 and " they filled a sponge with vinegar, and put it 
 apon hyssop, and put it to his mouth. 
 
 30 When Jesus theiefore had received the vine- 
 gar, he said, 'It is finished: and he bowed his head, 
 and gave up the ghost. 
 
 31 The Jews therefore, 'because it was the pre- 
 paration, ''that the bodies should not remain upon the 
 cross on the sabbath-day, (for that sabbath-day was 
 ail high day) besought Pilate that their legs might 
 be broken, and that they might be taken away. 
 
 32 Then came the soldiers and brake the legs of 
 the first, and of the other which was crucified with him. 
 
 33 But when they came to Jesus, and saw that 
 he was dead already, they brake not his legs : 
 
 34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his 
 side, and forthwith ' came thereout blood and water. 
 
 35 And he that saw it, bare record, and his re- 
 cord is true: and he Knoweth that he saith true, 
 that ye might believe. 
 
 36 For these things were done, f that the scripture 
 should be fulfilled.^ bnne of him shall not be broken. 
 
 37 And again anotner scripture saith, ^ They shall 
 look on him whom they pierced. 
 
 38 If h And after this, Joseph of Arimathea (being 
 i disciple of Jesus, but secretly 'for fear of the Jews) 
 besought Pilate that ne might take away the body 
 of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came 
 therefore and took the body of Jesus. 
 
 39 And there came also *Nicodemus (which at the 
 first came to Jesus by night) and brought a mixture 
 of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight. 
 
 40 Then took they the body of Jesus, and ( wound 
 it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of 
 the Jews is to bury. 
 
 41 Now in the place where he was crucified, there 
 was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, 
 wherein was never man yet laid. 
 
 42 "There laid they Jesus therefore, "because of

 1 Mary cometh to the sepulchre ; 1 1 she teeth two angels ; Jesus himself 
 
 appeareth to her. 
 
 HE "first da?/ of the week cometh Mary Magdalene 
 early, when it was yet dark, unto 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 Jesus loved, and sailh 
 unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the 
 sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him. 
 
 3 c Peter therefore went forth, and that other dis 
 ciple, and came to the sepulchre. 
 
 4 So they ran both together: and the other disci- 
 ple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre. 
 
 5 And he stooping down, and looking in, saw ''the 
 linen clothes lying; yet went he not in. 
 
 6 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and 
 went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie ; 
 
 7 And 'the napkin that was about his head, not 
 lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together 
 in a place by itself. 
 
 8 Then went in also that other disciple which 
 came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed. 
 
 9 For as yet they knew not the J scripture, that 
 he must rise again from the dead. 
 
 10 Then the disciples went away again unto their 
 own home. 
 
 11 H A 'But Mary stood without at the sepulchre 
 weeping: and as she wept she stooped down and 
 looked 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 unto her, AVoman, why weepest 
 thou? She saith unto them, Because they hav6 
 taken away my Lord, and I know not where they 
 have laid him. 
 
 14 ''And when she had thus said, she turned her- 
 self back, and saw Jesus standing, and 'knew not 
 that it was Jesus. 
 
 15 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest 
 thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to 
 be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have 
 borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, 
 and 1 will take him away. 
 
 16 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, 
 and saith unto him, Rabboni, which is to say, Master. 
 
 17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not: for I an 
 •" yet ascended to ni) r Father : but go to * mv bret.i- 
 
 no 
 
 ren, and say unto them, 'I ascend unto my Father 
 and your Father, and to '"my God and your God. 
 
 18 "Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples 
 that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken 
 these things unto her. 
 
 19 11' Then the same day at evening, being the 
 first day of the week, when the doors were shut 
 where the disciples were assembled for fear of the 
 Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith 
 unto them. Peace be unto you. 
 
 20 And when he had so said, he shewed untc 
 them his hands and his side. ■''Then were tne disci- 
 ples glau when they saw the Lord. 
 
 21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be untc 
 you: 'as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. 
 
 22 And when he had said this, he breathed on than. 
 and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost. 
 
 •iu7 
 
Christ appcarcth to his disciples: 
 
 23 ' Whoso soever sins ye remit, they are re- 
 mitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, 
 they are retained. 
 
 24 If But Thomas, one of the twelve, 'called 
 Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. 
 
 2o The other disciples therefore said unto him, 
 We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, 
 Except I shall see in his hands the print of the 
 liail.s, and put my finger into the print of the nails, 
 and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe. 
 
 26 II And after eight days again his disciples 
 were within, and Thomas with them: then came 
 Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, 
 and said, Peace be unto you. 
 
 27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy 
 finger, and behold my hands; and 'reach hither 
 frhy hand, and thrust it into my side; and be not 
 faithless, but believing. 
 
 28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, 
 My Lord and my God. 
 
 29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou 
 hast seen me, thou hast believed: "blessed are 
 thev that have not seen, and yet have believed. 
 
 $0 IT* And many other signs truly did Jesus in 
 the presence of his disciples, which are not written 
 in this book. 
 
 31 y But these are written, that ye might believe 
 that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; z and that 
 believing ve miaht have life through his name.

 i Christ appeare.lh to his disciples; 15 his charge to Peter, and forelelleth 
 
 his death. 
 
 AFTER these things Jesus shewed himself again 
 to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on 
 this wise shewed he himself. 
 
 2 There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas 
 called Didymus, and "Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, 
 a nd * the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples. 
 
 3 Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. 
 They say unto him, We also go with thee. They 
 went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; 
 and that night they caught nothing. 
 
 4 But when the morning was now come, Jesus 
 stood on the shore; but the disciples c knew not 
 that it was Jesus. 
 
 5 Then ''Jesus saith unto them, || Children, have 
 ye any meat? They answered him, No. 
 
 6 And he said unto them, * Cast the net on the 
 right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They 
 cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw 
 it for the multitude of fishes. 
 
 7 Therefore Ahat disciple whom Jesus loved 
 saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon 
 Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his 
 fisher's coat unto him, (for he was naked) and did 
 cast himself into the sea. 
 
 8 And the other disciples came in a little ship,

 (for they were not far from land, but as it wert 
 two hundred cubits) dragging the net with fishes. 
 
 9 As soon then as they were come to land, they saw 
 a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread. 
 
 10 Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish 
 which ye have now caught. 
 
 11 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land 
 full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three : and 
 for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken. 
 
 12 Jesus saith unto them, *Come and dine. 
 And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art 
 thou ? knowing that it was the Lord. 
 
 13 Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and 
 giveth them, and fish likewise. 
 
 14 This is now A the third time that Jesus shewed him- 
 self to his disciples.after that hewas risen fromthedead. 
 
 15 So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon 
 Peter, Simon son of Jonas, lovest thou me more thar 
 these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord : thou knowest 
 that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. 
 
 16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon 
 son of Jonas, lovest thou me ? He saith unto him, 
 Yea, Lord : thou knowest that I love thee. 'He saith 
 unto him, Feed my sheep. 
 
 17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon son 
 of Jonas, lovest thou me ? Peter was grieved because 
 he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? 
 And he said unto him, Lord, *thou knowest all 
 things ; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith 
 unto him, Feed my sheep. 
 
 1 8 ' Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast 
 young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither 
 thou wouldest : but when thou shalt be old, thou 
 shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird 
 thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not. 
 
 19 This spake he, signifying "'by what death he 
 should glorify God. And when he had spoken 
 this, he saith unto him, Follow me. 
 
 20 Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple 
 "whom Jesus loved, following; (which 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 shall this man do ? 
 
 22 Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry 
 "till I come, what is that to thee? Follow thou me. 
 
 23 Then went this saying abroad among the 
 brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet 
 Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I 
 will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee ? 
 
 24 This is the disciple which testifieth of these 
 things, and wrote these things: and ''we know that 
 his testimony is true. 
 
 25 "And there are also many other things which 
 Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every 
 one, '1 suppose that even the world itself could not 
 contain the books that should be written. Amen.

 which, f saith he, ye have heard of me. 
 
 5 *For John truly baptized with water; *but ye 
 shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many 
 days hence. 
 
 1$ When they therefore were come together, they 
 fcgksd of him, saying, 'Lord, wilt thou at thia time 
 'restore again the kingdom to Israel? 
 
 7 And he said unto 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 " after that the Holy 
 Ghosjt is come upon you : and "ye shall be witnesses 
 unto me, both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in 
 Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. 
 
 9 •''And when he had spoken these things, while 
 thoy beheld, ? he was taken up; and a cloud received 
 him out of their sight. 
 
 10 And while they looked steadfastly toward 
 heaven as he went up. behold, two men stood by 
 them r in wliite apparel; 
 
 11 Which also said, * Ye men of Galilee, why stand 
 ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus which is 
 taken up from you into heaven, 'shall so come in 
 like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. 
 
 12 "Then returned they unto Jerusalem, from the 
 mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sab- 
 bath day's journey. 
 
 13 And when they were come in, they went up 
 'into an upper room, where abode both y Peter and 
 James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, 
 Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Al- 
 oheus, and * Simon Zelotes, and "Judas the brother 
 of Tames. 
 
 14 * These all continued with one accord in prayer 
 and supplication, with c the women, and Mary the 
 mother of Jesus, and with d his brethren. 
 
 15 IT And in those days Peter stood up in the 
 midst of the disciples, and said, (the number e of the 
 names together were about an hundred and twenty,) 
 
 16 Men and brethren, this scripture must needs 
 have been fulfilled, f which the Holy Ghost by the 
 mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, 
 f which was guide to them that took Jesus. 
 
 17 For A he was numbered with us, and had ob- 
 tained part of 'this ministry. 
 
 18 fc Now this man purchased a field with 'there- 
 ward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst 
 asunder in t^e midst, and all his bowels gushed out. 
 
 19 And >t was known unto all the dwellers at Jeru- 
 salem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper 
 tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood. 
 
 20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, m Let 
 his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell 
 therein: and, "His || bishoprick let another take. 
 
 21 Wherefore of these men which have companied 
 with us, all the time that the Lord Jesus went in 
 rnd W.i among us, 
 
 22 * Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that 
 same day that p he was taken up from us, must one be 
 ordained q to be a witness with us of his resurrection. 
 
 23 And they appointed two, Joseph called r Bar- 
 sabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias. 
 
 24 And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, * which

 devout men, out of every nation under heaven. 
 
 6 Now fwhen this was noised abroad, the multi- 
 tude came together, and were |i confounded, because 
 that every man heard them speak in his own language 
 
 7 And they were all amazed, and marvelled, sav- 
 ing one to another, Behold, are not all these which 
 speak, J Galileans ? 
 
 8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, 
 wherein we were born ? 
 
 9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the 
 dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judea, and Cappa- 
 docia, in Pontus, and Asia, 
 
 10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the 
 parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, 
 Jews and proselytes, 
 
 11 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak- 
 in our tongues the wonderful works of God. 
 
 12 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, 
 saying one to another, What meaneth this? 
 
 13 Others mocking, said, These men are full of 
 new wine. 
 
 14 IF But Peter, standing up with the eleven, 
 lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of 
 Judea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this 
 known unto you, and hearken to my words : 
 
 15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, 
 *seeingit is but the third hour of the day. 
 
 16 But this is that which was spoken b}- the 
 prophet Joel, 
 
 17. A And it shall come to pass in the last days., 
 saith God, 'I will pour out of my Spirit upou 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 handmaidens, 
 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 in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and 
 vapour of smoke. 
 
 20 "The sun shall be turned into darkness, and 
 the moon into blood, before that great and notable 
 da} r of the Lord come. 
 
 21 And it shall come to pass, that "whosoever 
 shall call on the name of the Lord, shall be saved. 
 
 22 Ye men of Israel, hear these Avoids; Jesus of 
 Nazareth, a man approved of God among you'' by 
 miracles, and wonders, and signs, which God did by 
 him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: 
 
 Co9 . '' 
 
Peter's sermon. 
 
 23 1 1 i in . 'being delivered by the determinate 
 counsel and foreknowledge of God, 'ye have taken, 
 and by wicked hands have crucified and slain : 
 
 24 'Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the 
 pains of death : because it was not possible that he 
 should be holden of it. 
 
 25 For David speaketh concerning him, 'I fore- 
 saw the Lord always before my face : for he is on 
 my right hand, that I should not be moved: 
 
 2G Therefore did mv heart rejoice, and my tongue 
 was glad ; moreover afso, my flesh shall rest in hope : 
 
 2 i Because thou wilt not leave n y soul in hell, nei- 
 ther wilt thou sutler thine Holy Ont> o see corruption. 
 
 28 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; 
 thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance. 
 
 29 Men and brethren, || let me freely speak unto 
 you "of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and 
 buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day. 
 
 HO Therefore being a prophet, x and knowing that 
 God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit 
 of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise 
 up Christ to sit on his throne ; 
 
 31 He seeing this before, spake of the resurrec- 
 tion of Christ, y that his soul was not left in hell, nei- 
 ther his flesh did see corruption. 
 
 32 'This Jesus hath God raised up, "whereof we 
 all are witnesses. 
 
 33 Therefore * being by the right hand of God 
 exalted, and 'having received of the Father the 
 promise of the Holy Ghost, he ''hath shed forth 
 this, which ye now see and hear. 
 
 34 For David is not ascended into the heavens, 
 but he saith himself, 'The Lord said unto my Lord, 
 Sit thou on my right hand, 
 
 35 Until I make thy foes thy footstool. 
 
 36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know as- 
 suredly, that God •'"hath made that same Jesus whom 
 ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. 
 
 37 IT Now when they heard this, s they were pricked 
 in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of 
 the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do ? 
 
 38 Then Peter said unto them, A Repent, and be 
 baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ, 
 for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift 
 of the Holy Ghost. 
 
 39 For the promise is unto you, and 'to your chil- 
 dren, and * to all that are afar off, even as many as 
 the Lord our God shall call. 
 
 40 And with many other words did he testify 
 and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this un- 
 toward generation. 
 
 41 II Then they that gladly received his word, 
 were baptized : and the same day there were added 
 unto them about three thousand souls. 
 
 42 'And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' 
 doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, 
 and in prayers. 
 
 43 And fear came upon every soul: and m many 
 wonders and signs were done by the apostles. 
 
 44 And all that believed were together, and "had 
 all things common ; 
 
 45 And sold their possessions and goods, and 
 "parted them to all men, as every man had need. 
 
 46 ^And they, continuing daily with one accord 
 ?iu the temple, and 'breaking bread H from house to 
 nouse, did eat their meat with gladness and single- 
 Dess of heart, 
 
 47 Praising God, and 'having favour with all the

 Peter preacheth to the people that came to see a lame man restored to hit 
 
 feet, $c. 
 
 NOW Peter and John went up together "into the 
 temple, at the hour of prayer, ^ b being the uinth 
 hour. 
 
 2 And 'a certain man lame from his mother's 
 womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate 
 of the temple which is called Beautiful, d to ask 
 alms of them that entered into the temple ; 
 
 3 Who, seeing Peter and John about to go into 
 the temple, asked an alms. 
 
 4 And Peter fastening his eyes upon him with 
 John, said, Look on us. 
 
 5 And he gave heed unto them, expecting to re- 
 ceive something of them. 
 
 6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none ; 
 but such as I have give I thee: f In the name of 
 Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk. 
 
 7 And he took him by the right hand, and lifted 
 him up : and immediately his feet and ancle-bones 
 received strength. 
 
 8 And he, -/"leaping up, stood, and walked, aiu 4 
 entered with them into the temple, walking, and 
 leaping, and praising God. 
 
 9 *And all the people saw him walking and prais- 
 ing God : 
 
 10 And they knew that it was he which *sat for 
 alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple : and thev 
 were filled with wonder and amazement at that 
 which had happened unto him. 
 
 11 And as the lame man which was healed helc 1 
 Peter and John, all the people ran together untc 
 them in the porch 'that is called Solomon's, greatly 
 wondering. 
 
 12 II And when Peter saw it, he answered unto 
 the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? 
 or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our 
 own power or holiness we had made this man to walk \ 
 
 13 *The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of 
 Jacob, the God of our fathers 'hath glorified hi? 
 Son Jesus; whom ye "'delivered up, and "denied 
 him in the presence of Pilate, when he was deter- 
 mined to let him go. 
 
 14 But ye denied "the Holy One, ^and the Just, 
 and desired a murderer to be granted unto you; 
 
 15 And killed the || Prince of life, ? whom God hath 
 raised from the dead; r whereof 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 
 soundness in the presence of you all. 
 
 17 And now, brethren, I wot that 'through igno 
 ranee ye did it, as did also your rulers. 
 
 18 But "those things which God before had 
 shewed 'by the mouth of all his prophets, thai 
 Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled. 
 
 19 II 5 ' Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that 
 your sins may be blotted out, when the times of re- 
 freshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; 
 
 20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before 
 was preached unto you : 
 
 21 2 Whom the heaven must receive, until the 
 times of "restitution of all things, 6 which God hath 
 spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets, sines 
 the world bearan: 
 
Peter and John imprisoned.

 22 For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A Pro- 
 phet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you, of 
 your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in 
 all things, whatsoever he shall say unto you. 
 
 23 And it shall come to pass, that every soul 
 which will not hear that Prophet, shall be destroyed 
 from among the people. 
 
 24 Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel, and 
 those that follow after, as many as have spoken, 
 have likewise foretold of these days. 
 
 25 d Ye are the children of the prophets, and of 
 the covenant which God made with our fathers, 
 saj'ing unto Abraham, e And in thy seed shall all 
 the kindreds of the earth be blessed. 
 
 26 -/'Unto you first, God having raised up his 
 Son Jesus, *sent him to bless you, ''in turning away 
 every one of you from his iniquities.

 AND as they spake unto the people, the priests, 
 and the fl captain of the temple, and the Sad- 
 ducees came upon them, 
 
 2 "Being grieved that they taught the people, 
 and preached through Jesus the resurrection from 
 the dead. 
 
 3 And they laid hands on them, and put them in 
 hold unto the next day : for it was now even-tide. 
 
 4 Mowbeit, many of them which heard the word, 
 believed; and the number of the men was about 
 five thousand. 
 
 5 IF And it came to pass on the morrow, that their 
 rulers, and elders, and scribes, 
 
 6 And 'Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and 
 John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the 
 kindred of the high priest, were gathered together 
 at Jerusalem. 
 
 7 And when they had set 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 Ghost, said 
 unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel, 
 
 9 If we this day be examined of the good deed 
 done to the impotent man, by what means he is made 
 whole; 
 
 10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of 
 Israel, "that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, 
 whom ye crucified, f whom God raised from the dead, 
 even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. 
 
 1L ff This is the stone w T hich was set at nought of 
 you builders, which is become the head of the corner. 
 
 12 ''Neither is there salvation in any other: for 
 there is none other name under heaven given among 
 men, whereby we must be saved. 
 
 13 IF Now when they saw the boldness of Peter 
 and John, 'and perceived that they were unlearned 
 and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took 
 knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus. 
 
 14 And beholding the man which was healed * stand- 
 ing with them, they could say nothing against it. 
 
 15 But when they had commanded them to go 
 aside out of the council, they conferred among 
 themselves, 
 
 16 Saying, 'What shall we do to these men? for 
 that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by 
 them is "'manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusa- 
 lem, and we cannot deny it.

 The unity of the chnrch, it*.. 
 
 le, let us straitly threaten them, that they spcik 
 enceforth to no man in this name. 
 
 18 "And they called them, and commanded them 
 not to speak at all, nor teach in the name of Jesus. 
 
 19 But Peter and John answered and said nnto 
 them, "Whether it be right in the sight of God to 
 hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye. 
 
 20 /J For we cannot but speak the things which 
 'we have seen and heard. 
 
 21 So, when they had further threatened them, 
 they let them go, finding nothing how they might 
 punish them, r because of the people: for all men 
 glorified God for 'that which w r as done. 
 
 22 For the man was above forty years old on 
 whom this miracle of healing was shewed. 
 
 23 IF And being let go, 'they went to their own 
 company, and reported all that the chief priests and 
 elders had said unto them. 
 
 24 And when the}' heard that, they lifted up their 
 voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, "thou 
 art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and 
 the sea, and all that in them is; 
 
 25 Who, by the month of thy servant David hast 
 said, ^Why did the heathen rage, and the people 
 imagine vain things? 
 
 26 The kings of the earth stood up, and the 
 rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and 
 against his Christ. 
 
 27 For ^of a truth against *thy holy child Jesus, 
 "whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius 
 Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, 
 were gathered together, 
 
 28 6 For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy coun- 
 sel determined before to be done. 
 
 29 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings - 
 and grant unto thy servants, c that with all boldness 
 they may speak thy word, 
 
 30 By stretching forth thine hand to heal; 'and 
 that signs and wonders may be done 'by the name 
 of -^ thine holy child Jesus. 
 
 31 IFAnd when they had prayed, ^the place was 
 shaken where they were assembled together; and 
 they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, A and they 
 spake the word of God with boldness. 
 
 32 And the multitude of them that believed 
 'were of one heart, and of one soul : * neither said any 
 of them that aught of the things which he possessed 
 was his own ; but they had all things common. 
 
 33 And with 'great power gave the apostles 
 "witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and 
 "great grace was upon them all. 
 
 34 Neither was there any among them that 
 lacked: "for as many as were possessors of lands or 
 houses sold them, and brought the prices of the 
 things that were sold, 
 
 3u y 'And laid them down at the apostles' feet 
 'and distribution was made unto every man accord 
 is he had need. 
 
 36 And Joses, who by the apostles was surnameu 
 Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of 
 consolation,) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus, 
 
 37 r Having land, sold it, and brought the money, 
 and laid it at the apostles' feet. 
 
 CHAP. V. 
 
 1 Ananias and Sapphira at Peter's rebuke fall down diad. 12 Tn. 
 apostles work miracles. 
 
 BUT a certain man named Ananias, with fckp- 
 phira his wife, sold a possession, 
 
 w>i . 
 
 ing 
 
TIi e apostles delivered by an angel. 
 
 2 And kept back part of the price, (his wife also 
 being privy to it,) "and brought a certain part, and 
 laid it at the apostles' feet. 
 
 3 ° But Peter said, Ananias, Why hath r Satan rilled 
 thine heart || to lie to the Holy Ghostj and to keep 
 back part of the price of the land ? 
 
 4 While it remained, was it not thine own? and 
 after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? 
 why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? 
 thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. 
 
 5 And Ananias hearing these words, ''fell down, 
 and gave up the ghost. And great fear came on 
 all them that 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 was done, came in. 
 
 8 And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether 
 ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, 
 for so much. 
 
 9 Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye 
 have agreed together -^ to tempt the Spirit of the Lord ? 
 behold the feet of them which have buried thy hus- 
 band are at the door, and shall carry thee out. 
 
 10 8 Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and 
 yielded up the ghost. And the young men came in, 
 and found her dead, and carrying her forth, buried 
 her by her husband. 
 
 11 A And great fear came upon all the church, and 
 upon as many as heard these things. 
 
 12 IT And 'by the hands of the apostles were many 
 signs and wonders wrought among the people ; (*and 
 they were all of one accord in Solomon's porch. 
 
 13 And 'of the rest durst no man join himself to 
 them: m but the people magnified them. 
 
 14 And believers were the more added to the 
 Lord, multitudes both of men and women;) 
 
 15 Insomuch 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 There came also a multitude out of the cities 
 round about unto Jerusalem, bringing "sick folks, and 
 them which were vexed with unclean spirits; and 
 they were healed every one. 
 
 17 If/'Then the high priest rose up, and all they 
 that were with him, (which is the sect of the Sad- 
 ducees,) and were filled with ]| indignation, 
 
 IS 'And laid their hands on the apostles, and put 
 them in the common prison. 
 
 19 But r 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 peo- 
 ple 'all the words of this life. 
 
 21 And when they heard' that, they entered into the 
 tem pie early in the morning, and taught. ' But the high 
 priest came, and they that were with him, and called 
 the council together, and all the senate of the children 
 of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought. 
 
 22 But when the officers came, and found them 
 not in the prison, they returned, and told, 
 
 23 Saying, The prison truly found we shut with 
 all safety, and the keepers standing without before 
 the doors : but when we had opened, we found no 
 man within. 
 
 24 Now when the high priest, and "the captain of 
 *t\e temple, and the chief priests heard these things, 
 they doubted of them whereunto this would grow.

 Gamaliels counsel 
 
 25 Then came one and told them, saying. Behold, 
 the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the 
 temple, and teaching the people. 
 
 26 Then went the captain with the officers, and 
 brought them without violence: x for they feared this 
 people, lest they should have been stoned. 
 
 27 And when they had brought them, they set 
 them before the council : and the high priest asked 
 them, 
 
 28 Saying, y Did not we straitly command you, 
 that ye should not teach in this name? and behold, 
 ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, *and 
 intend to bring this man's "blood upon us. 
 
 29 If Then Peter and the other apostles answered 
 and said, *We ought to obey God rather than men. 
 
 30 c The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom 
 ye slew and " hanged on a tree : 
 
 31 'Him hath God exalted with his right handle 
 be f & Prince and £ a Saviour, ''for to give repentance 
 to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. 
 
 32 And 'we are his witnesses of these things; 
 and so is also the Holy Ghost, * whom God hath given 
 to them that obey him. 
 
 33 If 'When they heard that, they were cut to the 
 heart, and took counsel to slay them. 
 
 34 Then stood there up one in the council, a 
 Pharisee, named "' Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had 
 in reputation among all the people, and commanded 
 to put the apostles forth a little spaoe; 
 
 35 And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take 
 heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching 
 these men : 
 
 36 For before these days rose up Theudas, boast- 
 ing himself to be somebody; to whom a number of 
 men, about four hundred, joined themselves : who 
 was slain; and all, as many as || obeyed him, were 
 scattered, and brought to nought. 
 
 37 After this man rose up Judas of Galilee, in the 
 days of the taxing, and drew away much people 
 after him: he also perished; and all, even as many 
 as obeyed him, were dispersed. 
 
 38 And now I say unto you, Refrain from these 
 men, and let them alone: "for if this counselor this 
 work be of men, it will come to nought: 
 
 39 " But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it ; 
 lest haply ye be found even p to fight against God. 
 
 40 And to him they agreed: and when they had 
 'called the apostles, r and beaten them, they com- 
 manded that they .should not speak in the name of 
 Jesus, and let them go. 
 
 41 If And they departed from the presence of the 
 council, 'rejoicing that they were counted worthy to 
 suffer shame for his name. 
 
 42 And daily 'in the temple, and in every house, 
 "they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ. 
 
 CHAP. VI. 
 
 1 The apostles' care for the poor, and preaching of the word. 6 Seven 
 
 deacons chosen. 
 
 ND in those days, "when the number of the dis- 
 ciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring 
 of the ^Grecians against the Hebrews, because theii 
 widows were neglected c in the daily ministration. 
 
 2 Then the twelve called the multitude of the 
 disciples unto them, and said, ''It is not reason that 
 we should leave the word of God, and serve tables. 
 
 3 Wherefore, brethren, 'look ye out among you. 
 seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost ana 
 wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business 
 
 A 
 
Stephen, being falsely accused, 
 
 4 But we Avill give ourselves continually to 
 prayer, and to the ministry of the word. 
 
 5 II And the saying pleased the whole multitude: 
 and they chose Stephen, A 'a man full of faith and of 
 the Holy Ghost, and ''Philip, and Prochorus, and 
 Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and 'Nicolas a 
 proselyte of Antioch, 
 
 6 Whom they set before the apostles : and *when 
 they had prayed, 'they laid i/ieir hands on them. 
 
 7 And m the word of God increased ; and the num- 
 ber of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly ; 
 and a great company "of the priests were obedient 
 to the faith. 
 
 8 And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great 
 wonders and miracles among the people. 
 
 9 II Then there arose certain of the synagogue, 
 which is called the synagogue of the Libertines, and 
 Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia, 
 and of Asia, disputing with Stephen. 
 
 10 And "they were not able to resist the wisdom 
 and the spirit by which he spake. 
 
 11 '"Then they suborned men, which said, We 
 have heard him speak blasphemous words against 
 Moses, and against God. 
 
 12 And they stirred up the people, and the el- 
 ders, and the scribes, and came upon him, and caught 
 him, and brought him to the council, 
 
 13 And set up false witnesses, which said, This 
 man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous words against 
 this holy place, and the law : 
 
 14 'For Ave have heard him say, that this Jesus 
 of Nazareth shall r destroy this place, and shall 
 change the || customs which Moses delivered us. 
 
 15 And all that sat in the council, looking stead- 
 fastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face 
 of an angel.

 1 S/epnen being called, answereth to his accusation; 54 They stone him to death. 
 
 r f > HEN said the high priest, Are these things so? 
 i- 2 And he said, "Men, brethren, and fathers, 
 hearken; The God of glory appeared unto our father 
 Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he 
 dwelt in Charran, 
 
 3 And said unto him, b Get thee out of thy coun- 
 try, and from thy kindred, and come into the land 
 which I shall shew thee. 
 
 4 Then c came he out of the land of the Chal- 
 deans, and dwelt in Charran. And from thence, 
 when his father was dead, he removed him into this 
 land wherein ye now dwell. 
 
 5 And he gave him none inheritance in it, no, not 
 so much as to set his foot on : rf yet he promised that 
 he would give it to him for a possession, and to his 
 seed after him, Avhen as yet he had no child. 
 
 6 And God spake on this wise, 'That his seed 
 should sojourn in a strange land; and that they 
 should Drmg them into bondage, and entreat them 
 evil •'four hundred years. 
 
 7 And tie nation to whom they shall be in bond- 
 age will 1 judge, said God: and "after that shall 
 tney come forth, and * serve me in this place. 
 
 8 A And he gave him the covenant of circumcision. 
 'And so Abraham begat Isaac, and circumcised him 
 the eighth day; *and Isaac begat Jacob, and 'Jacob 
 begat the tweJve patriarchs. 
 
 9 m And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold 
 Joseph into Egypt : " but God was with him, 
 
 10 And delivered him out of all his afflictions,

 •and gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of 
 Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him g.vernor 
 over Egypt, and all his house. 
 
 11 ''Now there came a dearth over all the land of 
 Egypt and Chanaan, and great affliction; and our 
 fathers found no sustenance. 
 
 12 ''But when Jacob heard that there was corn 
 in Egypt, he sent out our fathers first. 
 
 13 r And at the second time Joseph wis made 
 known to his brethren: and Joseph's kinnred was 
 made known unto Pharaoh. 
 
 14 'Then sent Joseph, and called his father Jacob 
 to him, and 'all his kindred, threescore and fifteen souls. 
 
 15 "So Jacob went down into Egypt, "and died, 
 he, and our fathers. 
 
 16 And x were carried over into Sychem,and laid 
 in y the sepulchre that Abraham bought for a sum of 
 money of the sons of Emmor, the father of Sychem. 
 
 17 But when z the time of the promise drew nigh, 
 which God had sworn to Abraham, "the people 
 grew and multiplied in Egypt, 
 
 18 Till another king arose, which knew not Joseph. 
 
 19 The same dealt subtilly with our kindred, and 
 evil-entreated our fathers, .so that they cast out 
 their young children, to the end they might not live. 
 
 20 c In which time Moses was born, and ''was 
 I! exceeding fair, and nourished up in his father's 
 house three months: 
 
 21 And e when he was cast out, Pharaoh's daugh- 
 ter took him up, and nourished him for her own son. 
 
 22 And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the 
 Egyptians, and was -^mighty in words and in deeds. 
 
 23 ' And when he was full forty years old, it came 
 into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel. 
 
 24 And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he de- 
 fended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, 
 and smote the Egyptian: 
 
 25 || For he supposed his brethren would have 
 understood how that God by his hand would deliver 
 them : but they understood net. 
 
 26 A And the next day he shewed himself unto 
 them as they strove, and would have set them at 
 one again, saying. Sirs, ye are brethren; why do ye 
 wrong one to another? 
 
 21 
 him away > 
 judge over us ? 
 
 28 Wilt thou kill me, as thou didst the Egyptian 
 yesterday? 
 
 29 * Then fled Moses at this saying,and was a stran- 
 ger in the land of Madian, where he begat two sons. 
 
 30 'And when forty years were expired, there 
 appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sina, 
 an angel of the Lord in a flame of fire in a bush. 
 
 31 When Moses saw it, he w r ondered at the sight; 
 and as he drew near to behold it, the voice of the 
 Lord came unto 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. Then Moses trembled, and durst not behold. 
 
 33 "Then said the Lord to him, Put off 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 which is in Egypt, and I have heard their 
 groaning, and am come down to deliver them. And 
 now come, I will send thee into Egypt. 
 
 35 This Moses, whom they refused, saying, Wlic 
 
 t>63 
 
 But he that did his neighbour wrong, thrust 
 ! Who made thee a ruler and a 
 
 saying, 
 
Stephen didareih the history of Israel. 
 
 made thee a ruler and a judge? the same did God 
 send to be a ruler and a deliverer /; by the hand of 
 (he angel which appeared to him in the bush. 
 
 36 ' lie brought them out, after that he had ''shew- 
 ed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, 'and in 
 i he lied sea, 'and in the wilderness forty years. 
 
 37 IT This is that Moses, which said unto the chil- 
 dren of Israel, "A Prophet shall the Lord your God 
 raise up unto you of your brethren, || like unto me; 
 "him shall ye hear. 
 
 38 y This is he that was in the church in the wil- 
 derness with 'the angel which spake to him in the 
 mount Sina, and with our fatheis : "who received the 
 lively 6 oracles to give unto us: 
 
 39 To whom our fathers would not obey, but 
 thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned 
 back again into Egypt, 
 
 40 e Saying unto Aaron, Make us gods to go before 
 us : for as for this Moses, which brought us out of 
 the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him. 
 
 41 d And they made a calf in those days, and 
 offered sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the 
 works of their own hands. 
 
 42 Then 'God turned, and gave them up to wor- 
 ship f the host of heaven; as it is written in the book 
 of the prophets, e O ye house of Israel, have ye of- 
 fered to me slain beasts and sacrifices by ike space 
 of forty years in the wilderness ? 
 
 43 Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and 
 the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye 
 made to worship them: and I will carry you away 
 beyond Babylon. 
 
 44 Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in 
 the wilderness, as he had appointed, || speaking unto 
 Moses, ''that he should make it according to the 
 fashion that he had seen. 
 
 45 'Which also our fathers, || that came after, 
 brought in with Jesus into the possession of the 
 Gentiles, *whom God drave out before the face of 
 our fathers, unto the days of David; 
 
 46 'Who found favour before God, and m desired 
 to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob. 
 
 47 "But Solomon built him an house. 
 
 48 Howbeit, "the Most High dwelleth not in tem-

 49 -"Heaven is my throne, and earth is my foot-

 51 H Ye * stiff-necked, and r uncircumcised in heart

 52 'Which of the prophets have not your fathers

 The. church planted in Samaria. 
 
 58 And * cast him out of the city, e and stoned hin. 
 and ''the witnesses laid down their clothes at a youna 
 man's feet, whose name was Saul. 
 
 59 And they stoned Stephen, 'calling upon God. 
 and saying, 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 
 when ho had said this, he fell asleep. 
 
 CHAP. VIII. 
 
 5 Philip plantelh the church in Samaria; 26 he baptizeth an Ethiopian ninuch. 
 
 A ND "Saul was consenting unto his death. And 
 -^- at that time there was a great persecution 
 against the church which was at Jerusalem; and 
 *they Avere all scattered abroad throughout the re- 
 gions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles. 
 
 2 And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, 
 and c made great lamentation over him.. 
 
 3 As for Saul, rf he made havoc of the church, en- 
 tering into every house, and haling men and women, 
 committed them to prison. 
 
 4 Therefore 'they that were scattered abroad went 
 every where preaching the word. 
 
 5 Then J Philip went down to the city of Samaria, 
 and preached Christ unto them. 
 
 6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto 
 those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing 
 the miracles which he did. 
 
 7 For '"unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came 
 out of many that were possessed withthem: and many 
 taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. 
 
 8 And there was great joy in that city. 
 
 9 But there was a certain man, called Simon, 
 which beforetime in the same city A used sorcery, 
 and bewitched the people of Samaria, 'giving 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 to him they had regard, because that of 
 long time he had bewitched them with sorceries. 
 
 12 But when they believed Philip, preaching the 
 things ^concerning the kingdom of God, and the 
 name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized both men 
 and women. 
 
 13 Then Simon himself believed also: and when 
 he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and 
 wondered, beholding the f miracles and signs which 
 were done. 
 
 14 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusa- 
 lem heard that Samaria had received the word of 
 God, they sent unto them Peter and John: 
 
 15 Who, when they were come down, prayed for 
 them 'that they might receive the Holy Ghost: 
 
 16 (For m as yet lie was fallen upon none of them : 
 only "they were baptized in "the name of the Lord 
 Jesus.) 
 
 17 Then Maid they their hands on them, and they 
 received the Holy Ghost. 
 
 18 And when Simon saw that through laying on 
 of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given 
 he offered them money, 
 
 19 Saying, Give me also this power, that on whom 
 soever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost 
 
 20 But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish 
 with thee, because ? thou hast thought that 'the gifi 
 of God may be purchased with money. 
 
 21 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this mattei 
 for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. 
 
Philip haptizeth an Ethiopian eunuch. 
 
 22 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and 
 pray God, 'if perhaps the thought of thine heart may 
 be forgiven thee. 
 
 23 For I perceive that thou art in 'the gall of 
 bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity. 
 
 ■ 24 Then answered Simon, and said, "Pray ye to 
 the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye 
 have spoken come upon me. 
 
 25 And they, when they had testified and 
 preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jeru- 
 salem, and preached the gospel in many villages of 
 the Samaritans. 
 
 26 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, 
 saying, Arise, and go toward the south, unto the 
 way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto 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 y had come to Jeru- 
 salem for to worship, 
 
 28 Was returning; and sitting in his chariot, 
 read Esaias the prophet. 
 
 29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near and 
 join thyself to this chariot. 
 
 30 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him 
 read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest 
 thou what thou readest? 
 
 31 And he said, How can I, except some man 
 should guide me? And he desired Philip that he 
 would come up, and sit with him. 
 
 32 The place of the scripture which he read was 
 this, *He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and 
 like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he 
 not his mouth : 
 
 33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken 
 away: and who shall declare his generation? fol- 
 lies life is taken from the earth. 
 
 34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I 
 *)ray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of 
 himself, or of some other man ? 
 
 35 Then Philip opened his mouth, "and began at 
 the same sci'ipture, and preached unto him Jesus. 
 
 36 And as they went on their way, they came 
 unto a certain water : and the eunuch said, See, here 
 is water; *what doth hinder me to be baptized? 
 
 37 And Philip said, c If thou believest with all 
 thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and 
 said, d l believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of 
 God. 
 
 38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still : 
 and they went down both into the water, both Philip 
 and the eunuch; and he baptized him. 
 
 39 And when they were come up out of the water, 
 'the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that 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.

 tSaul cetUed /> the apostleship 
 
 whether they were men or women, he might brins 
 Uk-iii bound unto Jerusalem. 
 
 3 And *as he journeyed, he came near Damastme . 
 and suddenly there shined round about him a light 
 from heaven. 
 
 4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice say 
 ing unto him, Saul, Saul, ""why persecutest thou me? 
 
 5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the 
 Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. "Jt 
 is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. 
 
 6 And he trembling, and astonished, said, Lord, 
 "what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said 
 unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall 
 be told thee what thou must do. 
 
 7 And^the men which journeyed with him stood 
 speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man. 
 
 8 And Saul arose from the earth ; and when his 
 eyes were opened, he saw no man : but the}' led 
 him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus. 
 
 9 And he was three days without sight, and nei- 
 ther did eat nor drink. 
 
 10 If And there was a certain disciple at Damas- 
 cus, ^named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a 
 vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, lam here, Lord, 
 
 11 And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go 
 into the street which is called Straight, and inquire 
 in the house of Judas for one called Saul A of Tarsus 
 for behold, he prayeth, 
 
 12 And hath seen in a vision a man named Ana- 
 nias, coming in, and putting his hand on him, that 
 he might receive his sight. 
 
 13 Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard 
 by 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 *that call on thy name. 
 
 15 But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way : for ' he 
 is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before 
 '" the Gentiles, and " kings, and the children of Isrsfel. 
 
 16 For °I will show him how great things he 
 must surfer for my name's sake. 
 
 17 p And Ananias went his way, and enteied into 
 the house: and 'putting his hands on him, said, 
 Brother Saul, the Lord {even Jesus that appeared 
 unto thee in the way as thou earnest) hath sent me. 
 that thou mightest receive thy sight, and r be filled 
 with the Holy Ghost. 
 
 18 And immediately there fell from his eves as 
 it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, 
 and arose, and was baptized. 
 
 19 And when he had received meat, he was 
 strengthened. 'Then was Saul certain days with 
 the disciples which were at Damascus. 
 
 20 And straightway he preached Christ in the 
 synagogues, 'that he is the Son of God. 
 
 21 But all that heard him were amazed, and sail!, 
 "Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this 
 name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, 
 thathe might bring them bound unto the chief priest.- ? 
 
 22 But Saul increased the more in strength, *autl 
 confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, 
 proving that this is very Christ. 
 
 23 II And after that many daj r s were fulfilled, 
 "the Jews took counsel to kill him. 
 
 24 x But their laying wait was known of Saul. 
 And they watched the gates day and night to kill him. 
 
 25 Then the disciples took him by night, nvA 
 "let him down by the wall in a basket. 
 
 G66 
 
Peter restoreth Tabitha to life: 
 
 26" *And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, lie 
 nssa}^ed to join himself to the disciples: but they 
 were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was 
 a disciple. 
 
 27 c But Barnabas took him, and brought him to 
 the apostles, and declared unto them how he had 
 seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken 
 to him, rf and how he had preached boldly at Damas- 
 cus in the name of Jesus. 
 
 28 And 'he was with them coming in and going 
 out at Jerusalem. 
 
 29 And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord 
 Jesus, and disputed against the -^Grecians: *but they 
 went about to slay him. 
 
 30 Which when the brethren knew, they brought 
 him down to Cesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus. 
 
 31 ''Then had the churches rest throughout all 
 Judea, and Galilee, and Samaria, and were edified : 
 and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the com- 
 fort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied. 
 
 32 IT And it came to pass, as Peter passed 'through- 
 out all quarters, he came down also to the saints 
 which dwelt at Lydda. 
 
 33 And there he found a certain man named 
 Eneas, which had kept his bed eight years, and was 
 nek of the palsy. 
 
 34 And Peter said unto him, Eneas, * Jesus Christ 
 maketh thee whole : arise, and make thy bed. And 
 he arose immediately. 
 
 35 And all that dwelt at Lydda and ' Sard saw 
 'him, and m turned to the Lord. 
 
 36 IT Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple 
 named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called 
 ;| 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 : whom when they had washed, 
 they laid her in "an upper chamber. 
 
 •38 And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, 
 and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, 
 they sent unto him two men, desiring him that he 
 would not || delay to come to them. 
 
 39 Then Peter arose, and went with them. When 
 he was come, they brought him into the upper cham- 
 ber: 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 ''put them all forth, and q kneeled 
 down, and prayed; and turning him to the body, 
 'said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: 
 and when she saw Peter, she sat up. 
 
 41 And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up; 
 and when he had called the saints and Avidows, he 
 presented her alive. 
 
 42 And it was known throughout all Joppa : 'and 
 many believed in the Lord. 
 
 43 And it came to pass, that he tarried many 
 days in Joppa with one ' Simon a tanner.

 Cornelius sendeth for hm 
 
 3 f He sanv in a vision evidently, about the ninth 
 hour of the day, an angel of God coming in to him, 
 and saying unto him, Cornelius. 
 
 4 And when he looked on him, he was afraid, 
 and said, What is it, Lord ? And he said unt' him, 
 Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a me- 
 morial before God. 
 
 5 And now send men to Joppa, and call for ons 
 Simon, whose surname is Peter: 
 
 6 He lodgeth with one ''Simon a tanner, whose 
 house is by the sea-side: 'he shall tell thee what 
 thou oughtest to do. 
 
 7 And when the angel which spake unto Cornelius 
 was departed, he called two of his household ser- 
 vants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on 
 him continually; 
 
 8 And when he had declared all these things unto 
 them, he sent them to Joppa. 
 
 9 H On the morrow, as they went on their jour- 
 ney, and dreAv nigh unto the city, -/"Peter went up 
 upon the house-top to pray, about the sixth hour: 
 
 10 And he became very hungry, and would have 
 eaten : but while they made ready, he fell into a 
 trance, 
 
 11 And B saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel 
 descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet 
 knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth : 
 
 12 Wherein were all manner of four-footed beasts 
 of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, 
 and fowls of the air. 
 
 13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Petei , 
 kill, and eat. 
 
 14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; A for I have 
 never eaten any thing that is common or unclean. 
 
 15 And the voice spake unto him again the 
 second time, 'What God hath cleansed, that call not 
 thou common. 
 
 16 This was done thrice: and the vessel was ie- 
 ceived up again into heaven. 
 
 17 Now, while Peter doubted in himself what this 
 vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the 
 men which were sent from Cornelius had made in- 
 quiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate, 
 
 18 And called, and asked whether Simon, which 
 was surnamed Peter, were lodged there. 
 
 19 H While Peter thought on the vision, * the Spirit 
 said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee. 
 
 . 20 'Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go 
 with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them 
 
 21 Then Peter went down to the men which were 
 sent unto him from Cornelius; and said. Behold, ] 
 am he whom ye seek : what is the cause whereforo 
 ye are come? 
 
 22 And they said, ""Cornelius the centurion, a just 
 man, and one that feareth God, and " of good report 
 among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from 
 God by an holy angel to send for thee into his 
 house, and to hear words of thee. 
 
 23 Then called he them in, and lodged them. And 
 on the morrow Peter went away with them, "and 
 certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him. 
 
 24 And the morrow after they entered into Ce- 
 sarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and had 
 called together his kinsmen and near friends. 
 
 25 And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius me' 
 him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped hint. 
 
 26 But Peter took him up, saying, p Stand up: J 
 myself also am a man. 
 
t'eter p-tacheth to Cornelius. 
 
 27 And as he talked with him, he went in, and 
 found many that were come together. 
 
 28 And he said unto them, Ye know how 'that 
 it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to 
 keep company, or come unto one of another nation ; 
 hut r God hath shewed me that I should not call 
 any man common or unclean. 
 
 29 Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, 
 as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what 
 intent ye have sent for me? 
 
 30 And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fast- 
 ing until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed 
 in my house, and behold, *a man stood before me 
 'in bright clothing, 
 
 31 And said, Cornelius, "thy prayer is heard, 
 r and thine alms are had in remembrance in the 
 sight of God. 
 
 32 Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Si- 
 mon, whose surname is Peter; he is lodged in the 
 house of one Simon a tanner, by the sea-side : who, 
 when he cometh, shall speak unto thee. 
 
 33 Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and 
 thou hast well done that thou art come. Now there- 
 fore are we all here present before God, to hear all 
 things that are commanded thee of God. 
 
 34 HThen Peter opened his mouth, and said, 
 "Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of 
 persons : 
 
 35 But *in every nation, he that feareth him and 
 worketh righteousness, is accepted with him. 
 
 36 The word which God sent unto the children 
 of Israel, "preaching peace by Jesus Christ: ( 4 he is 
 Lord of all :) 
 
 37 That word, / say, ye know, which was pub- 
 lished throughout all Judea, and 'began from Gali- 
 lee, after the baptism which John preached ; 
 
 38 How d God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with 
 the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about 
 doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of 
 the devil; e for God was with him. 
 
 39 And f we are witnesses of all things which he 
 did, both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; 
 'whom they slew and hanged on a tree: 
 
 40 Him A God raised up the third day, and 
 shewed him openly; 
 
 41 'Not to all the people, but unto witnesses 
 chosen before of God, even to us, *who did eat and 
 drink with him after he rose from the dead. 
 
 42 And 'he commanded us to preach unto the 
 people, and to testify '"that it is he which was or- 
 dained of God to be the Judge "of quick and dead. 
 
 43 "To him give all the prophets witness, that 
 through his name ^whosoever belie veth in him shall 
 receive remission of sins. 
 
 44 H While Peter yet spake these words, ? the 
 Holy Ghost fell on ail them which heard the word. 
 
 45 r And they of the circumcision which believed, 
 were astonished, as many as came with Peter, 'be- 
 cause that on the Gentiles also was poured out the 
 gift of the Holy Ghost. 
 
 46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and 
 magnify God. Then answered Peter, 
 
 47 Can any man forbid water, that these should 
 not be baptized, which have received the Holy 
 Ghost 'as well as we? 
 
 4S "And he commanded them to be baptized 'in 
 rue uame of the Lord. Then prayed they him to 
 tarry certain days.

 AND the apostles and brethren that were in Jo 
 dea, heard that the Gentiles had also received 
 the word of God. 
 
 2 And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, 
 "tliey that were of the circumcision contended with 
 him, 
 
 3 Saying, 'Thou wen test in to men uncircum- 
 cised, c and didst eat with them. 
 
 4 But Peter rehearsed the matter from the begin- 
 ning, and expounded it d by order unto them, saving, 
 
 5 'I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a 
 trance I saw a vision, A certain vessel descend, as 
 it had been a great sheet, let down from heaven by 
 four corners; and it came even to me: 
 
 6 Upon the which when I had fastened mine 
 eyes, I considered, and saw four-footed beasts of 
 the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and 
 fowls of the air. 
 
 7 And I heard a voice saying unto mc, Arise, 
 Peter; slay, and eat. 
 
 8 But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common 
 or unclean hath at any time entered in.to my mouth. 
 
 9 But the voice answered me again from heaven. 
 What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common. 
 
 10 And this was done three times: and all were 
 drawn up again into heaven. . 
 
 11 And behold, immediately there were three 
 men already come unto the house where I was, 
 sent from Cesarea unto me. 
 
 12 And ■' the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing 
 doubting. Moreover, s these six brethren accompa- 
 nied me, and we entered into the man's house: 
 
 13 h And he shewed us how he had seen an angel 
 in his house, which stood and said unto him, Send 
 men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname 
 is Peter; 
 
 14 Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and 
 all thy house shall be saved. 
 
 15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell 
 on them, 'as on us at the beginning. 
 
 16 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, 
 how that he said,* John indeed baptized with water; 
 but 'ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost. 
 
 17 "Forasmuch then as God gave them the like 
 gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus 
 Christ, " what was I, that I could withstand God ? 
 
 18 When they heard these things, they held their 
 peace, and glorified God, saying. "Then hath God 
 also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life. 
 
 19 II'' Now they which were scattered abroad up- 
 on the persecution that arose about Stephen, trav- 
 elled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch 
 preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only. 
 
 20 And some of them were men of Cyprus and 
 C} r rene, which when they were come to Antioch, 
 spake unto «the Grecians, preaching the Lord Jesus. 
 
 21 And r the hand of the Lord was with them : and 
 a great number believed, and 'turned unto the Lord. 
 
 22 II Then tidings of these things came unto the eart> 
 of the church which was in Jerusalem : and they sent 
 forth 'Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch. 
 
 23 Who, when he came, and had seen the grace 
 of God, was glad, and "exhorted them all. that with 
 purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord 
 
 24 For he was a good man, and 'full of the Hcly 
 
 BB1 
 
Peter delivered by an angel. 
 
 Ghost., and of faith : ''and much people was added 
 unto the Lord. 
 
 25 Then departed Barnabas to z Tarsus, for to 
 seek Saul : 
 
 2G And when he had found him, he brought him 
 unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole 
 year they assembled themselves || with the church, 
 and taught much people. And the disciples were 
 called Christians first in Antioch. 
 
 27 1f And in these days came "prophets from Je- 
 rusalem unto Antioch. 
 
 28 And there stood up one of them named 6 Aga- 
 bus, and signified by the Spirit, that thei'e should 
 be great dearth throughout all the world : which 
 i ame to pass in the days of Claudius Cesar. 
 
 29 Then the disciples, every man according to 
 his ability, determined to send c relief unto the 
 brethren which dwelt in Judea. 
 
 30 ''Which also they did, and sent it to the 
 elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul. 
 
 CHAP. XII. 
 
 1 Herod persecuteth the Christians; 20 his pride, and miserable death. 
 
 NOW about that time, Herod the king || stretched 
 forth his hands to vex certain of the church. 
 
 2 And he killed James "the brother of John with 
 the sword. 
 
 3 And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he 
 proceeded further to take Peter also. Then were 
 * the days of unleavened bread. 
 
 4 And c when he had apprehended him, he put 
 him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions 
 of soldiers to keep him ; intending after Easter to 
 bring him forth to the people. 
 
 5 Peter therefore was kept in prison : || prayer was 
 made without ceasing of the church unto God for him. 
 
 6 And when Herod would have brought him forth, 
 the same night Peter was sleeping between two 
 soldiers, bound with two chains ; and the keepers 
 before the door kept the prison. 
 
 7 And behold, ''the angel of the Lord came upon 
 him, and a light shined in the prison; and he smote 
 Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise 
 up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands. 
 
 8 And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and 
 bind on thy sandals: and so he did. And he saith 
 unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me. 
 
 9 And he went out, and followed him, and 'wist 
 not that it was true which was done by the angel ; 
 but thought -^he saw a vision. 
 
 10 When they were past the first and the second 
 »vard, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto 
 the city ; e which opened to them of his own accord : 
 and they went out, and passed on through one street ; 
 and forthwith the angel departed from him. 
 
 11 And when Peter was come to himself, he said, 
 Now I know of a surety, that h the Lord hath sent his 
 angel, and ' hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, 
 and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews. 
 
 12 And when he had considered the thing. *he 
 crane to the house of Mary the mother of 'John, 
 whose surname was Mark ; where many were gath- 
 ered together, '"praying. 
 
 13 And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, 
 a damsel came || to hearken, named Rhoda. 
 
 14 And when she knew Peter's voice, she opened 
 not the gate for gladness, but ran in, and told how 
 Peter stood before the gate. 
 
 15 And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But

 she constantly affirmed that it was even so. 
 said they, " It is his angel. 
 
 16 But Peter continued knocking. And when 
 they had opened the door, and saw him, they were 
 astonished. 
 
 17 But he "beckoning unto them with the hand to 
 hold their peace, declared unto them how the Lord 
 had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Go 
 shew these things unto James, and to the brethren. 
 And he departed, and went into another place. 
 
 18 Now as soon as it was day, thwe was no small 
 stir among the soldiers, what was become of Peter 
 
 19 And when Herod had sought for him, and 
 found him not, he examined the keepers, and com- 
 manded that they should be put to death. And he 
 went down from Judea to Cesarea, and there a bod:;. 
 
 20 HAnd Herod || was highly displeased with them 
 of Tyre and Sidon. But they came with one accord 
 to him, and having made Blastus fthe king's cham- 
 berlain their friend, desired peace, because •''their 
 country was nourished by the king's country. 
 
 21 And upon a set day, Herod arrayed iu royal 
 apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration 
 unto them. 
 
 22 And the people gave a shout, saying, Ii is the 
 voice of a god, and not of a man. 
 
 23 And immediately the angel of the Lord 'smote 
 him, because 'he gave not God the glory: rnd he 
 was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost. 
 
 24 II But 'the word of God grew and multiplied. 
 
 25 And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jeru- 
 salem, when they had fulfilled their || ministry, and 
 'took with them "John, whose surname was Mark 
 
 CHAP. XIII. 
 
 1 Paul and Barnabas sent to the Gentiles. 42 The Gentiles believe. 
 45 The Jews blaspheme, and raise a persecution. 
 
 NOW there were "in the church that was at An 
 tioch certain prophets and teachers; as Bar- 
 nabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and c Lu- 
 cius of Cyrene, and Manaen, || which had been 
 brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. 
 
 2 As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, 
 the Holy Ghost said, ''Separate me Barnabas and 
 Saul, for the work 'whereunto I have called them. 
 
 3 And •'"when they had fasted and prayed, and 
 laid their hands on them, they sent them away. 
 
 4 If So they being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, 
 departed unto Seleucia ; and from thence they sailed 
 to 8 Cyprus. 
 
 5 And when they were at Salamis, Hhey preached 
 the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews 
 And they had also ' John to their minister. 
 
 6 And when they had gone through the isle unto 
 Paphos, they found *a certain sorcerer, a false pro- 
 phet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-jesus: 
 
 7 Which was with the deputy of the country, 
 Sergius Paulus, a prudent man ; who called for Bar- 
 nabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God. 
 
 8 But ' Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name 
 by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn 
 away the deputy from the faith. 
 
 9 Then Saul, (who also is called Paul) m filled with 
 the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him, 
 
 10 And said, O full of all subtilty, and all mis- 
 chief, "thou child of the devil, thou 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 
 
Paul preacheth at Antioch. 
 
 CHAP. XIV. 
 
 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 seeking some 
 to lead him by the hand. 
 
 12 Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, 
 believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord. 
 
 13 Now when Paul and his company loosed from 
 Puphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia : and 7 ' John 
 departing from them, returned to Jerusalem. 
 
 14 If But when they departed from Perga, they 
 came to Antioch in Pisidia, and « went into the syna- 
 gogue on the sabbath-day, and sat down. 
 
 15 And 'after the reading of the law and the pro- 
 phets, the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, 
 saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have 'any word 
 of exhortation for the people, say on. 
 
 16 Then Paul stood up,and ' beckoning with his hand, 
 said, Men of IsraeLand "ye that fear God,giv« audience. 
 
 17 The God of this people of Israel * chose our 
 fathers, and exalted the people ^when they dwelt as 
 strangers in the land of Egypt, *and with an high arm 
 brought he them out of it. 
 
 18 And "about the time of forty years f suffered he 
 the ; r manners in the wilderness. 
 
 19 And when b he had destroyed seven nations in the 
 land of Chanaan, c he divided their land to them by lot. 
 
 20 A.nd after that, ''he gave unto them judges, 
 about the space of four hundred and fifty years, e un- 
 til Samuel the prophet. 
 
 21 J And afterward they desired a king: and God 
 gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the 
 tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years. 
 
 22 And * when he had removed him, ''he raised up 
 unto them David to be their king : to whom also he 
 gave testimony, and said, 'I have found David the 
 son of Jesse, *a man after mine 
 shall fulfil all my will. 
 
 23 'Of this man's seed hath God, according "'to 
 his promise, i-aised unto Israel "a Saviour, Jesus: 
 
 21 " WhenJohn had first preached,before his coming, 
 the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. 
 
 25 And as John fulfilled his course, he said, 
 "Whom think ye that I am? I am not he. But be- 
 hold, there coineth one after me, whose shoes of his 
 feet I am not worthy to loose. 
 
 26 Men and brethren, children of the stock, of 
 Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, 
 1 to you is the word of this salvation sent. 
 
 27 For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their 
 rulers, 'because they knew him not, nor yet the voices 
 of the prophets 'which are read every sabbath-day, 
 'they have fulfilled them in condemning him. 
 
 28 "And though they found no cause of death in 
 him, x yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain. 
 
 29 y And when they had fulfilled all that was 
 written of him, z they took him down from the tree, 
 and laid him in a sepulchre. 
 
 30 "But God raised him from the dead: 
 
 31 And *he was seen many days of them which 
 came up with him c from Galilee to Jerusalem, rf who 
 are his witnesses unto the people. 
 
 32 And we declare unto you glad tidings, how 
 that 'the promise which was made unto the fathers, 
 
 33 God hath fulfilled the same unto us their chil- 
 dren, in that he hath raised up Jesus again ; as it is 
 also written in the second psalm, f Thou art my Son, 
 this day have I begotten thee. 
 
 34 And as concerning that he raised him up from 
 
 own heart, which

 on thiswise,* I will give you the sure tmercies of 1 )a \ i<l. 
 
 35 Whereforehe saith also in another peabu, ''Thou 
 shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. 
 
 36 For David, after he bad served his own gene- 
 ration by the will of God, 'fell on sleep;, and was laid 
 unto his fathers, and saw corruption: 
 
 37 But he, whom God raised again, saw no coi- 
 ruption. 
 
 38 II Be it known unto you therefore, men and 
 brethren, that * through this man is preached unto 
 you the forgiveness of sins; 
 
 39 And 'by him all that believe are justified 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 1 work a work in your days, a w 7 ork which ye shall 
 in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you. 
 
 42 And when the Jews were gone out of the syna- 
 gogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might 
 be preached to them \ the next sabbath. 
 
 43 Now when the congregation was broken up, 
 many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed 
 Paul and Barnabas; who speaking to them, "per 
 s.uaded them to continue in "the grace of God. 
 
 44 HAnd the next sabbath-day came almost the 
 whole city together to hear the word of God. 
 
 45 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they 
 were filled with envy, and ''spake against those things 
 which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and bias 
 pheming. 
 
 46 Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and 
 said, 'It was necessary that the word of God should 
 first have been spoken to you : but r seeing you put it 
 from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of ever- 
 lasting life, lo, 'we turn to the Gentiles. 
 
 47 For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, l \ 
 have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou 
 shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth. 
 
 48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they were 
 glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and "as 
 many as were ordained to eternal life, believed. 
 
 49 And the word of the Lord was published 
 throughout all the region. 
 
 50 But the Jews stirred up the devout and hon 
 ourable women, and the chief men of the city, and 
 x raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and 
 expelled them, out of their coasts. 
 
 51 ,J But they shook off the dust of their feet agains* 
 them, and came unto Iconium. 
 
 52 And the disciples "were filled with joy and 
 with the Holy Ghost.

 they are reputed as gods by the people. 
 
 AND it came to pass in Iconium, that they wen< 
 both together into the synagogue of the Jew<* 
 and so spake, that a great multitude, both of th> 
 Jews, and also of the Greeks, believed. 
 
 2 But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gea 
 tiles, and made their minds evil-affected against tin 
 brethren. 
 
 3 Long time therefore abode they speaking bold 
 
 ly in the Lord, " which gave testimony unto the wor.1 
 
 of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to bs

 Paul hcalcth a cripple. 
 
 4 But the multitude ot the city was divided: and 
 part held with the Jews, and part with the 4 apostles. 
 
 5 And when there was an assault made both of 
 the Gentiles, and also of the Jews, with their rulers, 
 
 to use them despitefully, and to stone them, 
 
 6 They were ware of it, and ''fled unto 
 and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and unto the 
 that lieth round about : 
 
 7 And there they preached the gospel. 
 
 8 IT' And there sat a certain man at Lystra, 
 impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his 
 toother's womb, who never had walked. 
 
 9 The same heard Paul speak : who steadfastly 
 beholding him, and ^ perceiving that he had faith 
 to be healed, 
 
 10 Said with a loud voice,* * Stand upright on 
 thy feet. And he leaped and walked. 
 
 11 And when the people saw what Paul 
 done, they lifted up their voices, saying 
 
 THE ACTS. 
 
 in 
 
 had 
 the 
 
 speech of" Lycaonia, ''The gods are come down to 
 
 us in the likeness of men. 
 
 12 And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, 
 Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker. 
 
 13 Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before 
 their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, 
 'and would have done sacrifice with the people. 
 
 14 Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, 
 heard of, k they rent their clothes, and ran in among 
 the people, crying out, 
 
 15 And saying, Sirs, 'why do ye these things? 
 "We also are men of like passions Avith you, and 
 preach unto you, that ye should turn from "these 
 vanities "unto the living God, p which made heaven, 
 and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein : 
 
 16 'Who in times past suffered all nations to 
 walk in their own ways. 
 
 17 r Nevertheless he left not himself without 
 witness, in that he did good, and -"gave us rain 
 from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts 
 with food and gladness. 
 
 18 And with these sayings scarce restrained they 
 the people, that they had not done sacrifice unto them. 
 
 19 If' And there came thither certain Jews from 
 Antioch, and Iconium, who persuaded the people, 
 "and having stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, 
 supposing he had been dead. 
 
 20 Howbeit, as the disciples stood round about 
 him, he rose up, and came into the city : and the 
 next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe. 
 
 21 And when they had preached the gospel to 
 that city, 'and f had taught many, they returned 
 again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and Antioch, 
 
 22 Confirming the souls ' of the disciples, and 
 "exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that 
 'we must through much tribulation enter into the 
 kingdom of God. 
 
 23 And when they had "ordained them elders in 
 every church, and had prayed with fasting, they com- 
 mended them to the Lord, on whom they believed. 
 
 24 And after they had passed throughout Pisidia, 
 they came to Pamphylia. 
 
 25 And when they had preached the word in 
 Perga, they went down into Attalia: 
 
 26 And thence sailed to Antioch, *from whence 
 they had been 'recommended to the grace of God, 
 tor the work which they fulfilled.

 Dissension about cir tumcision 
 
 the 
 
 had done with them, and how he had 'opened 
 door of faith unto the Gentiles. 
 
 28 And there they abode lon^ time with the 
 disciples. 
 
 CHAP. XV. 
 
 1 Dissension ahout circumcision : 6 the apostles consult about it : 22 then 
 determination. 36 Paul and Barnabas contend, and part. 
 
 AND "certain men which came down from Judea, 
 taught the brethren, and said, b Except ye be 
 circumcised 'after the manner of Moses, ye cannot 
 be saved. 
 
 2 When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no 
 small dissension and disputation with them, they 
 determined that d Paul and Barnabas, and certain 
 other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the 
 apostles and elders about this question. 
 
 3 And 'being brought on their way by the 
 church, they passed through Phenice and Samaria, 
 J declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: and they 
 caused great joy unto all the brethren. 
 
 4 And when they were come to Jerusalem, they 
 were received of the church, and of the apostles 
 and elders, and *they declared all things that God 
 had done with them. 
 
 5 But there || rose up certain of the sect of the 
 Pharisees, which believed, saying, A That it was 
 needful to circumcise them, and to command them 
 to keep the law of Moses. 
 
 6 HAnd the apostles and elders came together 
 for to consider of this matter. 
 
 7 And when there had been much disputing, 
 Peter rose up and said unto them, 'Men and breth- 
 ren, ye know how that a good while ago, God made 
 choice*" among us, that the Gentiles, by my mouth, 
 should hear the word of the gospel, and believe. 
 
 8 And God, * which knoweth the hearts, bare 
 them witness, 'giving them the Holy Ghost, even 
 as he did unto us : 
 
 9 m And put no difference 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 'we believe, that through the grace of the 
 Lord Jesus Christ, we shall be saved, even as they. 
 
 12 II Then all the multitude kept silence, and 
 gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what 
 miracles and wonders God had 'wrought among the 
 Gentiles by them. 
 
 13 If And after they had held their peace, r Jame.s 
 answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me. 
 
 14 "Simeon hath declared how God at the first 
 did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people 
 for his name. 
 
 15' And to this agree the words of the prophets : 
 as it is written, 
 
 16 'After this I will return, and will rniil? agaii. 
 the tabernacle of David which is fallen down ; and 1 
 will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up : 
 
 17 That the residue of men might s^ek after the 
 Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is 
 called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things. 
 
 18 Known unto God are all his works from the 
 beginning of the world. 
 
 19 Wherefore "my sentence is, that we trouble 
 not them, which from among the Gentiles a are 
 turned to God : 
 
 20 But that we write unto them tLut they abstaio 
 
Letters to the churches. 
 
 CHAP. XVI. 
 
 "from pollutions of idols, and 'jrom fornication, and 
 ■from tnings strangled, °and from blood. 
 
 21 For Moses of old time hath in every city 
 them that preach him, 'being read in the synagogues 
 every sabbath-day. 
 
 22 Then pleased it the apostles and elders, with 
 the whole church, to send chosen men of their own 
 company to Antioch, with Paul and Barnabas; 
 namely, Judas surnapied c Barsabas, and Silas, chief 
 men among the brethren : 
 
 23 And they wrote letters by them after this man- 
 ner; The apostles, and elders, and brethren, send 
 greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gen- 
 tiles in Antioch, and Syria, and Cilicia. 
 
 24 Forasmuch as we have heard, that ''certain which 
 went out from us, have troubled you with words, sub- 
 verting your souls, saying, Yemust be circumcised, and 
 keep the law ; to whom we gave no such commandment: 
 
 25 It seemed good unto us, being assembled with 
 one accord, to send chosen men unto you, with our 
 beloved Barnabas and Paul: 
 
 26 r Men that have hazarded their lives for the 
 name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 
 
 27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who 
 shall also tell you the same things by f mouth. 
 
 28 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to 
 us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these 
 necessary things; 
 
 29 ^That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, 
 and ff from blood, and from things strangled, and 
 from fornication : from which if ye keep yourselves, 
 ye shall do well. Fare ye well. 
 
 30 So when they were dismissed, they came to 
 Antioch: and when they had gathered the multi- 
 tude together, they delivered the epistle. 
 
 31 Which when they had read, they rejoiced for 
 the || consolation. 
 
 32 And Judas and Silas, being prophets also 
 themselves, ''exhorted the brethren with many words, 
 and confirmed them. 
 
 33 And after they had tarried there a space, they 
 were let go in peace from the brethren unto the 
 apostles. 
 
 34 Notwithstanding, it pleased Silas to abide 
 there still. 
 
 35 * Paul also 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 unto Barna- 
 bas, Let us go again and visit our brethren, 'in every 
 C'ty where we have preached the word of the Lord, 
 am see how they do. 
 
 37 And Barnabas determined to take with them 
 "John, whose surname was Mark. 
 
 38 But Paul thought not good to take him with 
 them, "who departed from them from Prmphylia, 
 and went not with them to the work. 
 
 39 And the contention was so sharp between them, 
 '.hat thev departed asunder one from the other : and 
 so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed unto Cyprus. 
 
 40 And Paul chose Silas and departed, "being re- 
 commended by the brethren unto the grace of God 
 
 41 And he went through Syria and Cilicia, '' con- 
 fix ming the churches.

 Paul circumciseth Timothy 
 
 c the son of a certain woman which was a Jewess 
 and believed, but his father was a Greek : 
 
 2 Which J was well reported of by the brethren 
 that were at Lystra and Iconium. 
 
 3 Him woufd Paul have to go forth with him; 
 and 'took and circumcised him, because of the Jews 
 which were in those quarters : for they knew alJ 
 that his father was a Greek : 
 
 4 And as they went through the cities, they deliv 
 ered them the decrees for to keep, f that were ordained 
 of the apostles and elders which were at Jerusalem. 
 
 5 And *so were the churches established in the 
 faith, and increased in number daily. 
 
 6 Now when they had gone throughout Phrygiit, 
 and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the 
 Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia; 
 
 7 After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to 
 go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not. 
 
 8 And they passing by Mysia, * came down to Troas. 
 
 9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: 
 There stood a 'man of Macedonia, and prayed him, 
 saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us. 
 
 10 And after he had seen the vision, immediately 
 we endeavoured to go *into Macedonia, assuredly 
 gathering, that the Lord had called us for to preach 
 the gospel unto them. 
 
 11 Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a 
 straight course to Samothracia, and the next day to 
 Neapolis ; 
 
 12 And from thence to 'Philippi, which is l| the 
 chief city of that part of Macedonia, and a colony : 
 and we were in that city abiding certain days. 
 
 13 And on the f sabbath we went out of the city 
 by a river side, where prayer was wont to be made; 
 and we sat down, and spake unto the women which 
 resorted thither. 
 
 14 And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller 
 of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped 
 God, heard us: whose '"heart the Lord opened, that 
 she attended unto the things which were spoken of 
 Paul. 
 
 15 And when she was baptized, and her house- 
 hold, she besought its, saying If ye have iudged me 
 to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and 
 abide there. And "she constrained us. 
 
 16 IF And it came to pass as we went to prayer, 
 a certain damsel "possessed with a spirit || of divina- 
 tion, met us, which brought her masters ''much gain 
 by soothsaying: 
 
 17 The same followed Paul and us, and cried, 
 saying, These men are the servants of the most high 
 God, which shew unto us the way of salvation. 
 
 18 And this did she 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. 'And he came out the same hour. 
 
 19 IT And 'when her masttrs saw that the hope of 
 their gains was gone, ' they caught Paul and Silas, and 
 "drew them into the || market-place unto the rulers. 
 
 20 And brought them to the magistrates, saying. 
 These men, being Jews, 'do exceedingly trouble 
 our city, 
 
 21 And teach customs which are not lawful foi 
 us to receive, neither to observe, being Rowans, 
 
 22 And the multitude rose up together against 
 them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, 
 "and commanded to beat them. 
 
 25 And when they had laid many stripes upon 
 
 071 
 
received such a charge, thrust 
 prison, and made their feet fast 
 
 out his sword, and would hav 
 
 Killed. 
 
 iiimsen, sup- 
 
 posing that the prisoners had been fled. 
 
 28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do 
 thyself no harm : for we are all here. 
 
 29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and 
 came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas; 
 
 30 And brought them out, and said, 6 Sirs, what 
 must I do to be saved? 
 
 31 And they said, c Believe on the Lord Jesus 
 Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. 
 
 32 And they spake unto him the word of the 
 Lord, and to all that were in his house. 
 
 33 And he took them the same hour of the night, 
 and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and 
 all his, straightway. 
 
 34 And when he had brought them into his 
 house, rf he set meat before them, and rejoiced, 
 believing in God with all his house. 
 
 35 And when it was day, the magistrates sent 
 the sergeants, saying, Let those men go. 
 
 36 And the keeper of the prison told this saying 
 to Paul, The magistrates have sent to let you go : 
 now therefore depart, and go in peace. 
 
 37 But Paul said unto them, They have beaten 
 us openly uneondemned, e being Romans, and have 
 cast us into prison; and now do they thrust us out 
 privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves 
 and fetch us out. 
 
 38 And the sergeants told these words unto the 
 magistrates : and they feared when they heard that 
 f hey were Romans. 
 
 39 And they came and besought them, and brought 
 them out, and J desired them to depart out of the city. 
 
 40 And they went out of the prison, ■s'and entered 
 into the house of Lydia : and when they had seen 
 the brethren, they comforted them and departed.

 NOW when they had passed through Amphipolis,

 where was a synagogue of the Jews. 
 
 2 And Paul, as hh, manner was, "went in unto

 city on an uproar, and assaulted the house of '.lasoDj 
 and sought to bring them out to the people. 
 
 6 And when they found them not, they drew 
 Jason and certain brethren unto the rul'jtS of the 
 city, crying, f These that have turned the world 
 upside down, are come hither also: 
 
 7 Whom Jason hath received : and these all do 
 contrary to the decrees of Cesar, 8 saying, that there 
 is another king, one Jesus. , 
 
 8 And they troubled the people, and the rulers 
 of the city, when they heard these things. 
 
 9 And when they had taken security of Jason 
 and of the other, they let them go. 
 
 10 TIAnd A the brethren immediately sent away 
 Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming 
 thither, went into the synagogue of the Jews. 
 
 11 These Avere more noble than those in Thessa- 
 lonica, in that they received the word with all read- 
 iness of mind, and ' searched the scriptures daily, 
 whether those things were so. 
 
 12 Therefore many of them believed; also of 
 honourable women which were Greeks, and of men 
 not a few. 
 
 13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica haa 
 knowledge that the word of God was preached 
 of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and 
 stirred up the people. 
 
 14 fc And then immediately the brethren sent away 
 Paul, to go as it were to the sea: but Silas and 
 Timotheus abode there still. 
 
 15 And they that conducted Paul brought him 
 unto Athens: and 'receiving a commandment unto 
 Silas and Timotheus for to come to him with all 
 speed, they departed. 
 
 16 II Now while Paul waited for them at Athtn?, 
 m his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city 
 || wholly given to idolatry. 
 
 17 -Therefore disputed he in the synagogue with 
 the Jews, and with the devout persons," and in the 
 market daily with them that met with him. 
 
 18 Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, 
 and of the Stoics, encountered him. And some said, 
 What will this || babbler say? other some, He seem- 
 eth to be a setter forth of strange gods : because he 
 preached unto them Jesus, and the resurrection. 
 
 19 And they took him, and brought him unto 
 II Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new 
 doctrine, whereof thou speakest, is? 
 
 20 For thou bringest certain strange things to our 
 ears; we would know therefore what these things 
 mean. 
 
 21 (For all the Athenians and strangers which 
 were there, spent their time in nothing else, but 
 either to tell, or to hear some new thing.) 
 
 22 II Then Paul stood in the midst of || Mars-hill, 
 and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all 
 thing-s ye are too superstitious. 
 
 23 For as I passed by, and beheld j^our || devo- 
 tions, I found an altar with this inscription, 
 THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore 
 ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you. 
 
 24 "God that made the world, and all things 
 therein, seeing that he is "Lord of heaven and 
 earth, ''dwelletn not in temples made with hands; 
 
 25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, ? as 
 he needed any

 men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and 
 hath determined the times before appointed, and 
 •the bounds of their habitation; 
 
 27 'That they should seek the Lord, if haply 
 they might feel after him, and find him, "though he 
 be not far from every one of us : 
 
 28 For x in him we live, and move, and have our 
 being; tf as certain also of your own poets have said, 
 For we are also his offspring. 
 
 29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of 
 God, z we ought not to think that the Godhead is 
 like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and 
 man's device. 
 
 80 And " the times of this ignorance God winked at ; 
 but t now commandeth all men every where to repent : 
 
 31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which 
 r he will judge the world in righteousness, by that 
 man whom he hath ordained : whereof he hath || given 
 assurance unto all men, in that rf he hath raised him 
 from the dead. 
 
 32 IT And when they heard of the resurrection of 
 the dead, some mocked; and others said, We will 
 hear thee again of this matter. 
 
 33 So Paul departed from among them. 
 
 34 Howbeit, certain men clave unto him, and be- 
 lieved : among the which was Dionysius the Are- 
 opagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others 
 with them.

 A^TER these things, Paul departed from Athens, 
 and came to Corinth ; 
 2 And found a certain Jew named "Aquila, born 
 in Pontus, lately" come from Italy, with his wife Pris- 
 cills>, (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews 
 to depart from Rome) and came unto them. 
 
 H And because he was of the same craft, he 
 abode with them, 'and wrought, (for by their occupa- 
 tion they were tent-makers.) 
 
 4 'And he reasoned in the synagogue every sab- 
 bath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks. 
 
 5 And ''when Silas and Timotheus were come 
 from Macedonia, Paul was e pressed in the spirit, 
 and testified to the Jews that Jesus || ivas Christ. 
 
 6 And -^ when they opposed themselves, and blas- 
 phemed, *he shook his raiment, and said unto them, 
 
 Your blood be upon your own heads: '1 am clean: 
 'from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles. 
 
 7 TFAnd he departed thence, and entered into a 
 certain mans house, named Justus, one that worship- 
 ped God, whose house joined hard to 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 baptized. 
 
 9 Then m spake the Lord to Paul in the night by 
 a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy 
 peace : 
 
 10 r -For I am with thee, and no man shall set on 
 thee, to hurt thee : for I have much people in this city. 
 
 11 And he f continued there a year and six 
 months, teaching the word of God among them. 
 
 12 HAnd when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, 
 the Jews made insurrection with one accord against 
 Paul, and brought him to the judgment-seat, 
 
 13 Saying, This fellow persuadeth men to worship! 
 God contrary to the law.

 mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, "if it were a mat- 
 ter of wrong, or wicked lewdness, O ye Jews, reason 
 would that I should bear with you: 
 
 15 But if it be a question of words and names, 
 and of y onr law, look ye to it: for I will be no 
 judge of such matters. 
 
 16 And he drave them from the judgment-seat. 
 
 17 Then all the Greeks took 'Sosthenes, the chief 
 ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the juag- 
 ment-seat. And Gallio cared for none of those thing-. 
 
 18 l[And Paul after this tarried there yet a good 
 while, and then took his leave of the brethren, and 
 sailed thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla, and 
 Aquila; having 'shorn Ms head in r Cenchrea: for 
 he had a vow. 
 
 19 And he came to Ephesus, and left them 
 there: but he himself entered into the synagogue 
 and reasoned with the Jews. 
 
 20 When they desired him to tarry longer time 
 with them, he consented not: 
 
 21 But bade them farewell, saying, 'I must by 
 all means keep this feast that cometh in Jerusalem : 
 but I will return again unto you, 'if God will. And 
 he sailed from Ephesus. 
 
 22 And when he had landed at Cesarea, and gone 
 up and saluted the church, he went down to Antioch. 
 
 23 And after he had spent some time there, he 
 departed and went over all the country of "Galatia 
 and Phrygia in order, * strengthening all the disciples. 
 
 24 1f y And a certain Jew, named Apollos, born at 
 Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the 
 scriptures, came to Ephesus. 
 
 25 This man was instructed in the way of the 
 Lord: and being z fervent in the spirit, he spake and 
 taught diligently the things of the Lord, "knowing 
 only the baptism of John. 
 
 26 And he began to speak boldly in the syna- 
 gogue: whom, when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, 
 they took him unto them, and expounded unto him 
 the way of God more perfectly. 
 
 27 And when he was disposed to pass into 
 Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples 
 to receive him : who, when he was come, 'helped 
 them much which had believed through grace. 
 
 28 For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that 
 publicly, c shewing by the scriptures, that Jesus 
 || was Christ.

 6 The Holy Ghost given by the laying on of Paul's hands. 17 Many 
 
 believe the gospel. 
 
 AND it came to pass, that while "Apollos was at 
 Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper 
 coasts, came to Ephesus ; and finding certain disciples. 
 2 He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy 
 Ghost since ye believed ? And they said unto him, 
 'We have not so much as heard whether there be 
 any Holv Ghost. 
 
 8 And he said unto them, Unto what then were 
 ye baptized? And they said, J Unto John's baptism. 
 
 4 Then said Paul, 'John verily baptized with the 
 baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that 
 they should believe on him which should come after 
 him, that is, on Christ Jesus. 
 
 5 When they heard this, they were baptized J io 
 the name of the Lord Jesus. 
 
 6 And when Paul had A iaid his hands upon them, 
 the H0I3' Ghost came on them ; and h they spal.o 
 with tongues, and prophesied.

 7 And all the men were about twelve. 
 
 8 'And he went into the synagogue, and spake 
 boldly for the space of three months, disputing and 
 persuading the things Concerning the kingdom of God. 
 
 9 But 'when divers were hardened, and believed 
 not, but spake evil m of that way before the multitude, 
 he departed from them, and separated the disciples, 
 disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus. 
 
 10 And " this continued by the space of two years ; 
 do that all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word 
 of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.. 
 
 11 And "God wrought special miracles by the 
 hands of Paul: 
 
 12 ; 'So that from his body were brought unto the 
 sick handkerchiefs, or aprons, and the diseases depart- 
 ed from them, and the evil spirits Avent out of them. 
 
 13 H'Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exor- 
 cists, r took upon them to call over them which had 
 evil spirits, the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, 
 We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth. 
 
 14 And there were, seven sons of one Sceva a 
 Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so. 
 
 15 And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus 
 1 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 out of that house 
 naked and wounded. 
 
 17 And this was known to all the Jews ana Greeks 
 also dwelling at Ephesus: and 'fear fell on them all, 
 and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified. 
 
 18 And many that believed came, and 'confessed, 
 and shewed their deeds. 
 
 19 Many of them also which used curious arts, 
 brought their books together, and burned them be- 
 fore all mm ; and they counted the price of them, 
 and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver. 
 
 20 "So mightily grew the word of God, and pre- 
 vailed. 
 
 21 H x After these things were ended, Paul^purposed 
 in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia, 
 and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have 
 been there, Z I must also see Rome. 
 
 22 So he sent into Macedonia two of "them that 
 ministered unto him, Timotheus and ' Erastus : but 
 he himself stayed in Asia for a season. 
 
 23 And c the same time there arose no small stir 
 about ''that way. 
 
 24 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silver- 
 smith, which made silver shrines for Diana, brought 
 'no small gain unto the craftsmen; 
 
 25 Whom he called together with the workmen 
 of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by 
 this craft we have our wealth : 
 
 26 Moreover, ye see and hear, that not alone at 
 Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul 
 hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying, 
 that-' they be no gods which are made with hands. 
 
 27 So that not only this our craft is in danger to 
 be set at naught; but also that the temple of the 
 great goddess Diana should be despised, and her 
 magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia, 
 and the world worshippeth. 
 
 28 And when they heard these sayings, they were 
 full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana 
 of the Ephesians. 
 
 29 And the whole city was filled with confusion :

 It is appeased by the town-der/t 
 
 Macedonia, Paul's companions in travel, they rushed 
 with one accord into the theatre. 
 
 30 And when Paul would have entered in unto 
 the people, the disciples suffered him not. 
 
 31 And certain of the chief of Asia, which were 
 his friends, sent unto him, desiring him that he 
 would not adventure himself into the theatre. 
 
 32 Some therefore cried one thing, and some an- 
 other: for the assembly Avas confused, and the more 
 prirt kneAv not wherefore they were come together. 
 
 33 And they dreAV Alexander out of the multi- 
 tude, the JeAvs putting him forward. And ; Alexan- 
 der * beckoned Avith the hand, and Avould have made 
 his defence unto the people. 
 
 34 But Avhen they kneAv that he Avas a Jew, all 
 Avith one voice about the space of two hours cried 
 out, Great is Diana of the Ephesians. 
 
 35 And Avhen the toAvn-clerk had appeased the 
 people, he said, Ye men of Ephesus, what man is 
 there that knoweth not hoAv that the city of the 
 Ephesians is fa Avorshipper of the great goddess Di- 
 ana, and of the image Avhich fell down from Jupiter? 
 
 36 Seeing then that these things cannot be spoken 
 against, ye ought to be quiet, and to do nothing 
 rashly. 
 
 37 For ye have brought hither these men, which 
 are neither robbers of churches, nor yet blasphemer* 
 of your goddess. 
 
 38 Wherefore, If Demetrius, and the craftsmen 
 Avhich are with him, have a matter against any man, 
 II the laAv is open, and there are deputies : let them 
 implead one another. 
 
 39 But if ye inquire any thing concerning other 
 matters, it shall be determined in a || lawful assembly. 
 
 40 For we are in danger to be called in question 
 for this day's uproar, there being no cause whereby 
 we may give an account of this concourse. 
 
 41 And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed 
 the assembly.

 1 Paul goeth to Macedonia ; 7 he celebraleth the Lord's supper, and preacheth. 
 9 Eutychus, falling down dead, 10 is raised to life. 
 
 AND after the uproar Avas ceased, Paul called 
 unto him the disciples, and embraced them, and 
 "departed for to go into Macedonia. 
 
 2 And when he had gone over those parts, and had 
 given them much exhortation, he came into Greece,- 
 
 3 And there abode three months. And* when the 
 Jews laid Avait for him, as he was about to sail into 
 Syria, he purposed to return through Macedonia. 
 
 4 And there accompanied him into Asia, Sopatei 
 of Berea; and of the Thessalonians, c Aristarchus and 
 Secundus; and ''Gaius of Derbe, and 'Timotheus, 
 and of Asia, ^Tychicus and ff Trophimus. 
 
 5 These going before, tarried for us at Troas. 
 
 6 And Ave sailed aAvay from Philippi, after Uhe 
 days of unleavened bread, and came unto them 'to 
 Troas in five days; where Ave abode seven days. 
 
 7 And upon *the first day of the Aveek, when the 
 disciples came together 'to break bread, Paul preach- 
 ed unto them, (ready to depart on the morrow) and 
 continued his speech until midnight. 
 
 8 And there Avere many lights ro in the upper 
 chamber, Avhere they were gathered together. 
 
 9 And there sat in a AvindoAV a certain young man 
 named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep : and 
 as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep. 
 
 
"and integrity .- 
 
 mid fell down from the third loft, and was taken up 
 dead. 
 
 12 And Paul went down, and "fell on him, and 
 embracing him, said, "Trouble not yourselves; for 
 his life is in him. 
 
 11 When he therefore was come up again, and 
 had broken bread, and eaten, and lalked a long 
 while, even till break of day, so he departed. 
 
 12 And they brought the young man alive, and 
 were not a little comforted. 
 
 13 IT And we went before to ship, and sailed 
 unto Assos, there intending to take in Paul: for so 
 had he appointed, minding himself to go afoot. 
 
 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 tarried at Trogyllium; and the next 
 day we came to Miletus. 
 
 16 For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, 
 because he would not spend the time in Asia : ^for 
 he hasted, if it were possible for him. 'to be at 
 •Jerusalem r the day of Pentecost. 
 
 17 IT And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and 
 called the elders of the church. 
 
 18 And when they were come to him, he said 
 unto them, Ye know, 'from the first day that I 
 came into Asia, after what manner I have been 
 with you at all seasons, 
 
 19 Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, 
 and with many tears and temptations, which befell 
 me 'by the lying in wait of the Jews: 
 
 20 And how "I kept back nothing that was 
 profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have 
 taught you publicly, and from house to house, 
 
 21 * Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the 
 Greeks, y repentance toward God, and faith toward 
 our Lord Jesus Christ. 
 
 22 And now behold, Z I go bound in the spirit 
 unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall 
 befall me there : 
 
 23 Save that a the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every 
 city, saying, that bonds and afflictions || abide me. 
 
 24 But *none of these things move me, neither 
 count 1 my life dear unto myself, f so that I might 
 Pnish my course with joy, ''and the ministry e which 
 I have received of 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 preaching the kingdom of God, 
 shall see my face no more. 
 
 26 Wherefore I take you to record this day, that 
 L am *pure from the blood of all men, 
 
 27 For *J have not shunned to declare unto you 
 nil 'the counsel of God. 
 
 28 TF^'Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and 
 to all the flock over the which the Holy Ghost 
 'hath made you overseers, to feed the church of 
 God, m which he hath purchased " with his own blood 
 
 29 For I know this, that 
 "shall grievous wolves enter 
 sparing the flock. 
 
 30 Also /; of your own selves shall men arise, speak- 
 ing perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. 
 
 31 Therefore watch, and remember, that ? by the 
 ?pace of three years 1 ceased not to warn every 
 one night and day with tears. 
 
 32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God,

 CHAP. XXI. 
 
 1 Paul, journeying to Jerusalem, comet/t to Philip's house, whose daughters 
 prophesied. 17 Paul, at Jerusalem, 27 u apprehended, 31 but rescued 
 by the chief captain. 
 
 AND it came to pass, that after we were gotten 
 from them, and had launched, we came with 
 a straight course unto Coos, and the day following 
 unto llhodes, and from thence unto Patara: 
 
 2 And finding a ship sailing over unto Thenicia, 
 we went aboard, and set forth. 
 
 3 Now when we had discovered Cyprus, we left 
 it on the left hand, and sailed into Syria, and lauded 
 at Tyre : for there the ship was to unlade her burden. 
 
 4 And finding disciples, we tarried there seven 
 days: "who said to Paul through the Spirit, that 
 he should not go up to Jerusalem. 
 
 5 And when we had accomplished those days, we 
 departed, and went our way; and they all brought 
 us on our way, with Avives and children, till we were 
 out of the city: and 6 we kneeled down on the 
 shore, and prayed. 
 
 6 And when we had taken our leave one of an- 
 other, we took ship; and the}' returned c home again. 
 
 7 And when we had finished our course from 
 Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and saluted the breth 
 ren, and abode with them one day. 
 
 8 And the next day we that were of Paul's com- 
 pany departed, and came unto Cesarea; and we 
 entered into the house of Philip "the evangelist, 
 'which was one of the seven; and abode with him. 
 
 9 And the same man had four daughters, virgins, 
 J which did prophesy. 
 
 10 And as we tarried there many days, there 
 came down from Judea a certain prophet, named 
 *Agabus. 
 
 11 And when he was come unto us, he took Paul's 
 girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said. 
 Thus saith the Holy Ghost, A So shall the Jews at 
 Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and 
 shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles. 
 
 12 And when we heard these things, both we, 
 and they of that place, besought him not to go up 
 to Jerusalem. 
 
 13 Then Paul answered, 'What mean ye tc 
 weep, and to break mine heart? for I am ready not 
 to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for 
 the name of the Lord Jesus. 
 
 14 And when he would not be persuaded, we 
 ceased, saying, k The will of the Lord be done. 
 
 tJTd 
 
Paul comelh to Jerusalem . 
 
 15 And after those days we took up our carnages, 
 and went up to Jerusalem. 
 
 16 There went with us also certain of the disci- 
 ples of Cesarea, and brought with them one Mnason 
 of Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge. 
 
 17 'And when we were come to Jerusalem, the 
 brethren received us gladly. 
 
 18 And the day following Paul went in with us 
 unto "'James: and all the elders were present. 
 
 1 9 And when he had saluted them, " he declared 
 particularly what things^ God had wrought among 
 the Gentiles "by his ministry. 
 
 20 And when they heard it, they glorified the 
 Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how 
 many thousands of Jews there are which believe ; 
 and they are all * zealous of the law : 
 
 21 And they are informed of thee, that thou teach- 
 est all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to for- 
 sake Moses, saying, that they ought not to circum- 
 cise their children, neither to walk after the customs. 
 
 22 What is it therefore ? the multitude must needs 
 come together : for they will hear that thou art come. 
 
 23 Do therefore this that we say to thee: We 
 have four men which have a vow on them ; 
 
 24 Them take, and purify thyself Avith them, and 
 be at charges with them, that they may 'shave their 
 heads: and all may know that those things whereof 
 they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; 
 but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and 
 keepest the law. 
 
 25 As touching the Gentiles which believe, r we 
 have written and concluded that they observe no 
 such thing, save only that they keep themselves from 
 things offered to idols, and from blood, and from 
 strangled, and from fornication. 
 
 26 Then Paul took the men, and the next day pu- 
 rifying himself with them, s entered into the temple, 
 
 to signify the accomplishment of the days of purifi- 
 cation, until that an offering should be offered for 
 every one of them. 
 
 27 And when the seven days were almost ended, 
 " the Jews, which were of Asia, when they saw him 
 in the temple, stirred up all the people, and J laid 
 hands on him, 
 
 28 Crying out, Men of Israel, help. This is the 
 man y that teacheth all men every where against the 
 people, and the law, and this place-: and further, 
 brought Greeks also into the temple; and hath pol- 
 luted this holy place. 
 
 29 (For they had seen before with him in the city, 
 'Trophimus, an Ephesian, whom they supposed that 
 Paul had brought into the temple.) 
 
 30 And "all the city was moved, and the people 
 i an together : and they took Paul and drew him out 
 of the temple. And forthwith the doors were shut. 
 
 31 A.nd as they went about to kill him, tidings 
 came unto the chief captain of the band, that all Jeru- 
 salem was in an uproar; 
 
 32 * Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, 
 and ran down unto them. And when they saw the 
 chief captain and the soldiers, they left beating of Paul. 
 
 33 Then the chief captain came near and took 
 Mm. and c commanded him to be bound with two chains : 
 and demanded who he was, and what he had done. 
 
 31 And some cried one thing, some another, among 
 the multitude: and when he could not know the 
 certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be 
 carried into the castle.

 35 And when he came upon the stairs, so it was 
 that he was borne of the soldiers, for the violence 
 of the people. 
 
 36 lor the multitude of the people followed af- 
 ter, crying, rf Away with him. 
 
 37 And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he 
 said unto the chief captain, May I speak unto thee? 
 Who said, Canst thou speak Greek? 
 
 38 'Art not thou that Egyptian, which before these 
 days madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wil- 
 derness four thousand men that were murderers? 
 
 39 But Paul said, J I am a man tuhich am a Jew of 
 Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city : and 
 1 beseech thee suffer me to speak unto the people. 
 
 40 And when he had given him license, Paul stood 
 on the stairs, and fi beckoned with the hand unto the 
 
 Eeople. And Avhen there was made a great silence, 
 e spake unto them in the Hebrew tongue, saying, 
 
 CHAP. XXII. 
 
 I Paul declareth how he was converted ; 25 he escapeth scourging, being 
 
 a Roman citizen. 
 
 MEN, "brethren, and fathers, hear ye my defence 
 which I make now unto you. 
 
 2 (And when they heard that he spake in the He- 
 brew tongue to them, they kept the more silence : 
 and he saith,) 
 
 3 b I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in 
 Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city 
 c at the feet of d Gamaliel, and taught 'according to the 
 perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and f wai 
 zealous toward God, A 'as ye all are this day. 
 
 4 ''And I persecuted this way unto the death, bind- 
 ing and delivering into prisons both men and women: 
 
 5 As also the high priest doth bear me witness, 
 and 'all the estate of the elders; *from whom also 1 
 received letters unto the brethren, and went to Da- 
 mascus, to bring them which were there bound unto 
 Jerusalem, for to be punished. 
 
 6 And ' it came to pass, that, as I made my jour- 
 ne} r , and was come nigh unto Damascus about noon, 
 suddenly there shone from heaven a great light 
 round about me. 
 
 7 And 1 fell unto the ground, and heard a voice 
 saying unto me, Saul, Saul, whypersecutestthoume? 
 
 8 And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And 
 he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom 
 thou persecutest. 
 
 9 And '"they that were with me saw indeed the 
 light, and were afraid ; but they heard not the voice 
 of him that spake to me. 
 
 10 And I said, What shall I do, Lord ? And the 
 Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus, 
 and there it shall be told thee of all things Avhich 
 are appointed for thee to do. 
 
 11 And when I could not see for the glory of that 
 light, being led by the hand of then that were with 
 me, I came into Damascus. 
 
 12 And "one Ananias, a devout man according to 
 the law, "having a good report of all the -''Jews which 
 dwelt there, 
 
 13 Came unto me, and stood, and said unto me. 
 Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And the same hour 
 I looked up upon him. 
 
 14 And he said, q The God of our fathers ' hath chosen 
 thee, that thou shoaldest know his will, and *see ' that 
 Just One, and "shouldest hear the voice of his mouth, 
 
 15 r For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of 
 y what thou hast seen and heard.

 16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and he 
 baptized, z and wash away thy sins, "calling on the 
 name of the Lord. 
 
 17 And *it came to pass, that, when I was come 
 again to Jerusalem, even wHile I prayed in the 
 temple, I was in a trance; 
 
 18 And c saw him saying unto me, ''Make haste, 
 and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem ; for they 
 will not receive thy testimony concerning me. 
 
 19 And I said. Lord, 'they know that I impri- 
 soned, and ■'beat in every synagogue them that be- 
 lieved on thee: 
 
 20 E And when the blood of thy martyr Stephen 
 tvas shed, I also was standing by, and ^consenting 
 ♦nto his death, and kept the raiment of them that 
 slew him. 
 
 21 And he said unto me, Depart: 'for I will send 
 thee far hence unto the Gentiles. 
 
 22 And they gave him audience unto this word, 
 j.nd then lifted up their voices, and said, *Away 
 with such a fellow from the earth : for it is not fit 
 that 'he should live. 
 
 23 And as they cried out, and cast off their 
 clothes, and threw dust into the air, 
 
 24 The chief 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 
 unto the centurion that stood by, "'Is it lawful for you to 
 scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondenmed ? 
 
 . 26 When the centurion heard that, he went and 
 told the chief captain, saying, Take heed what thou 
 doest; for this man is a lloman. 
 
 27 Then the chief captain came, and said unto 
 him, Tell me, art thou a lloman? He said, Yea. 
 
 28 And the chief captain answered, With a great 
 sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But 
 I was free-horn. 
 
 29 Then straightway they departed from him 
 which should have || examined him : and the chief 
 captain also was afraid, after he knew that he was 
 a Roman, and because he had bound him. 
 
 30 On the morrow, because he would have known 
 the certainty wherefore he was accused of the Jews, 
 Le loosed him from his bands, and commanded the 
 chief priests and all their council to appear, and 
 brought Paul down, and set him before them. 
 
 CHAP. XXIII. 
 
 I Paul pleadelh his cause; 7 dissension among his accusers; 10 he is again 
 imprisoned ; 23 he is sent to Felix the governor. 
 
 AND Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, 
 Men and brethren, "I have lived in all good 
 conscience before God until this day. 
 
 2 And the high priest Ananias commanded them 
 that stood by him, *to smite him on the mouth. 
 
 3 Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, 
 thou whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me after 
 the law, and c commandest me to be smitten contrary 
 to the law? 
 
 4 And they that stood by, said, Revilest thou 
 God's high priest? 
 
 5 Then said Paul, d I wist not, brethren, that he 
 was the high priest: for it is written, 'Thou shalt 
 Dot speak evil of the ruler of thy people.

 wait, he went and entered into the castle, and told Paul. 
 
 17 Then Paul called one of the centurions unto 
 him, and said, Bring this j'oung man unto the chief 
 captain; for he hath a certain thing to tell him. 
 
 18 So he took him, and brought him to the chief 
 captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me unto 
 him, 'and prayed me to bring this young man unto 
 thee, who hath something to say unto thee. 
 
 19 Then the chief captain took him b} r the hand, 
 and went with him aside privately, and asked him, 
 What is that thou hast to tell me? 
 
 20 And he said, "The Jews have agreed to desire 
 thee, that thou would est bring down Paul to-morrow 
 into the council, as though they would inquire some- 
 what of him more perfectl}'". 
 
 21 But do not thou 3 r ield unto them : for there lie 
 in wait for him of them more than forty men, which 
 have bound themselves with an oath, that they will 
 neither eat nor drink till they have killed him: and 
 now are they ready, looking for a promise from thee. 
 
 22 So the chief captain then let the young man 
 depart, and charged him, See thou tell no man that 
 thou hast shewed these things to me 
 
 23 And he called unto him two tenturions. say 
 ing, Make ready two bundled soldiers to go to Cesn- 
 rea, and horsemen threescore and ten, and spearmen 
 two hundred, at the third hour of the night ; 
 
 24 And provide them beasts, that they may set 
 
 Paul on, and bring him safe unto Felix the governor. 
 
 25 And he wrote a letter after this manner: 
 
 26 Claudius Lysias, unto the most excelleut gov- 
 ernor Felix, sendcth greeting.

 27 'This man was taken of the Jewe, and should 
 have been killed of them: then came I with an 
 army and rescued him, having understood that he 
 was a Roman. . 
 
 28 'And when I would have known (he cause 
 wherefore they accused him, I brought him forth 
 into their council : 
 
 29 Whom I perceived to be accused r of questions 
 of their law, "but to have nothing laid to his charge 
 worthy of death, or of bonds. 
 
 80 And 'when it was told me how that the Jews 
 laid wait for the man, I sent straightway to thee, 
 and "gave commandment to his accusers also, to sa 
 before thee what they had against him. Farewel 
 
 31 Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, 
 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, when they came to Cesarea, and deliv- 
 ered the epistle to the governor, presented Paul also 
 before him. 
 
 34 And when the governor had read the letter, he 
 asked of what province he was. And when he un- 
 derstood that he was of ^ Cilicia ; 
 
 35 y I will hear thee, said he, when thine accusers 
 are also come. And he commanded him to be kept 
 in z Herod's judgment-hall.

 ND after "five days, b Ananias the high priest 
 descended with the elders, and with a certain 
 orator named Tertullus, who informed the governor 
 against Paul. 
 
 2 And when he w T as called forth, Tertullus began 
 to accuse him, saying, Seeing that by thee we enjoy 
 great quietness, and that very worthy deeds are 
 done unto this nation by thy providence, 
 
 3 We accept it always, and in all places, most 
 noble Felix, with all thankfulness. 
 
 4 Notwithstanding, that I be not further tedious 
 unto thee, I pray thee, that thou wouldest hear us 
 of thy clemency a few words. 
 
 5 c For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, 
 and a mover of sedition among^ all the Jews through- 
 out the world, and a ring-leader of the sect of the 
 Nazarenes : 
 
 6 ''Who also hath gone about to profane the tem- 
 ple: whom we took, and would e have judged ac- 
 cording to our law : 
 
 7 -^But the chief captain Lysias came upon us, and 
 with great violence took him away out of our hands, 
 
 8 * Commanding his accusers to come unto thee: 
 by examining of whom thyself mayest take knowl- 
 edge of all these things whereof we accuse him. 
 
 9 And the Jews also assented, saying, that these 
 things were so. 
 
 10 Then Paul, after that the governor had beck- 
 oned unto him to speak, answered, Forasmuch as I 
 know that thou hast been of many years a judge unto 
 this nation, I do the more cheerfully answer for myself: 
 
 11 Because that thou mayest understand, that 
 there are yet but twelve days since I went up to 
 Jerusalem A for to worship. 
 
 12 'And they neither found me in the temple dis- 
 puting with any man, neither raising up the people, 
 ceitber in the synagogues, nor in the city

 He answer cth ftyr himself 
 
 13 Neither can they prove the things whereof 
 they now accuse me. 
 
 14 But this I confess unto thee, that after 'the 
 way which they call heresy, so worship I the 'God 
 of my fathers, believing all things which are written 
 in m the law and in the prophets: 
 
 15 And "have hope toward God, which they 
 themselves also allow, "that there shall be a resur 
 rection of the dead, both of the just and unjust. 
 
 16 And ^herein do I exercise myself, to have al- 
 ways a conscience void of offence toward God, and 
 toward men. 
 
 17 Now, after many years, 9 I came to bring alms 
 to my nation, and offerings. 
 
 18 'Whereupon 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 object, if they had aught against me. 
 
 20 Or else let these same here say, if they hav e 
 found any evil-doing in me, while I stood before the 
 council, 
 
 21 Except it be for this one voice, that I cried, 
 standing among them, 'Touching the resurrection of 
 the dead I am called in question b} r you this day. 
 
 22 And when Felix heard these things, having more 
 perfect knowledge of that way, he deferred them, and 
 said, When "Lysias the chief captain shall come down, 
 
 1 will know the uttermost of your matter. 
 
 23 And he commanded a centurion to keep Paul, 
 and to let him have liberty, and * that he should forbid 
 none of his acquaintance to minister, or come unto him. 
 
 24 And after certain days, when Felix came with 
 his wife Drusilla, which was a Jewess, he sent for 
 Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ. 
 
 25 And as he reasoned of righteousness, temper- 
 ance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and 
 answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have 
 a convenient season, I will call for thee. 
 
 26 He hoped also that ^monej' should have been 
 given him of Paul, that he might loose him : wherefore 
 he sent for him the oftener, and communed with him. 
 
 27 But after two years Porcius Festus came into 
 Felix' room: and Felix. * willing to shew the Jews 
 a pleasure, left Paul bound. 
 
 CHAP. XXV. 
 
 2 The Jews accuse Paul before Festus: 8 he answereth for himself, and av 
 
 pealeth unto Cesar, £;c. 
 
 NOW when Festus was come into the province, 
 after three days he ascended from Cesarea to 
 Jerusalem. 
 
 2 "Then the high priest and the chief of the Jews 
 informed him against Paul, and besought him, 
 
 3 And desired favour against him, that he would 
 send for him to Jerusalem, * laying wait in the way 
 to kill him. 
 
 4 But Festus ansAvered, that Paul should be kepi 
 at Cesarea, and that he himself would depart shortly 
 thither. 
 
 5 Let them therefore, said he, which among you 
 are able, go down with me, and accuse this man, r if 
 there be any wickedness in him. 
 
 6 And when he had tarried among them || more 
 than ten days, he went down unto Cesarea; and 
 the next day sitting on the judgment-seat, com- 
 manded Paul to be brought. 
 
 7 And when he was come, the Jews which came 
 down from Jerusalem stood round about. rf and laid 
 
Paul, being cleared before Festas, 
 
 CHAP. XXVI 
 
 many and grievous complaints against Paul, which 
 they could not prove; 
 
 8 While ho answered for himself, 'Neither against 
 the law of the Jews, neither against the temple, nor 
 yet against Cesar have I offended any thing at all. 
 
 9 But Festus, ^'willing to do the Jews a pleasure, 
 jnswered Paul, and said,* Wilt thou go up to Jeru- 
 salem, and there be judged of these things before me? 
 
 10 Then said Paul, I stand at Cesar's judgment- 
 eeat, where I ought to be judged : to the Jews have 
 I done no wrong, as thou very well knowest. 
 
 11 -For if I be an offender, or have committed 
 an}- thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die : but 
 if there be none of these things whereof these 
 accuse me, no man may deliver me unto them. * 1 
 appeal unto Cesar. 
 
 12 Then Festus, when he had conferred with the 
 council, answered, Hast thou appealed unto Cesar? 
 unto Cesar shalt thou go. 
 
 13 And after certain days, king Agrippa and Ber- 
 nice came unto Cesarea, to salute Festus. 
 
 14 And when they had been there many days, 
 Festus declared Paul's cause unto the king, saying, 
 ' There is a certain man left in bonds by Felix : 
 
 15 'About Avhom, when I was at Jerusalem, the 
 chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed 
 me, desiring to have judgment against him. 
 
 16 m To whom I answered, It is not the manner 
 of the Romans to deliver an} r man to die, before that 
 he which is accused have the accusers face to face, 
 and have license to answer for himself concerning 
 the crime laid against him. 
 
 17 Therefore when they were come hither, "with- 
 out any delay on the morrow I sat on the judgment- 
 seat, and commanded the man to be brought forth; 
 
 18 Against whom, when the accusers stood up, 
 they brought none accusation of such things as I 
 supposed : 
 
 19 "But had certain .questions against him of their 
 own superstition, and of one Jesus, which was dead, 
 whom Paul affirmed to be alive. 
 
 20 And because || I doubted of such manner of 
 questions. I asked him whether he would go to Je- 
 rusalem, ; nd there be judged of these matters. 
 
 21 Bui when Paul had appealed to be reserved 
 unto the |, hearing of Augustus, I commanded him 
 to be kept till I might send him to Cesar. 
 
 22 Then p Agrippa said unto Festus, I would also 
 hear the man myself. To-morrow, said he, thou 
 shalt hear him. 
 
 23 And on the morrow, when Agrippa was come, 
 and Bernice, with great pomp, and was entered into 
 die place of hearing, with the chief captains and 
 principal men of the city, at Festus' commandment 
 Paul was brought forth. 
 
 24 And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men 
 which are here present with us, ye see this man 
 about whom ? all the multitude of the Jews have 
 dealt with me, both at Jerusalem, and also here, 
 srying that he ought r not to live any longer. 
 
 25 But when I found that 'he had committed no- 
 thing worthy of death, 'and that he himself hath ap- 
 pealed to Augustus, I have determined to send him. 
 
 26 Of whom I have no certain thing to write unto 
 my lord. Wherefore I have brought him forth be- 
 fore you, and specially before thee, king Agrippa, 
 that after examination had. I might have somewhat 
 to write

 CHAP. XXVI. 
 
 1 Paul, before Agrippa, declarrth his life, Viand his wonderful conversion, At 
 
 rpiIEN Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted 
 to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretched forth 
 
 J. 
 
 the hand, and answered for himself: 
 
 2 I think myself happy, king Agrippa, because I 
 shall answer for myself this day before thee, touching 
 all the things whereof I am accused of the Jew .^ : 
 
 3 Especially, because I know thee to be expert in 
 all customs and questions which are among the Jews : 
 wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently. 
 
 4 My manner of life from my youth, which was 
 at the first among mine own nation at Jerusalem, 
 know all the Jews, 
 
 5 Which knew me from the beginning, (if they 
 would testify,) that after "the most straitest sect of 
 our religion, 1 lived a Pharisee. 
 
 6 *And now I stand, and am judged for the hope 
 of c the promise made of God unto our fathers: 
 
 7 Unto which promise ''our twelve tribes, instantly 
 serving God f'day and night, •''hope to come. For 
 wdiich hope's sake, king Agrippa, I am accused of 
 the Jews. 
 
 8 Why should it be thought a thing incredible 
 with you, that God should raise the dead ? 
 
 9 s l verily thought with myself, that I ought to 
 do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of 
 Nazareth. 
 
 10 ''Which thing I also did in Jerusalem : and many 
 of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received 
 authority ^rom the chief priests; and when they 
 were put to death, I gave my voice against them. 
 
 11 k And I punished them oft in every synagogue, 
 and compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceed- 
 ingly mad against them, I persecuted them even 
 unto strange cities. 
 
 12 'Whereupon, as I went to Damascus, with 
 authority and commission from the chief priests, 
 
 13 At mid-day, O king, I saw in the way a light 
 from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining 
 round about me, and them which journeyed with me. 
 
 14 Arid when we were all fallen to the earth, I 
 heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the 
 Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou 
 me? It is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. 
 
 15 And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he 
 said, I am Jesus whom thoii persecutest. 
 
 16 But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have 
 appeared unto thee for this purpose, "' to make thee 
 a minister and a witness both of these things which 
 thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I 
 will appear unto thee; 
 
 17 Delivering thee from the people, and from tho 
 Gentiles, "unto whom now I send thee, 
 
 18 "To open their eyes, and ^to turn them from 
 darkness to light, and /row the power of Satan unto 
 God, ? that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and 
 'inheritance among them which are 'sanctified by 
 faith that is in me. 
 
 19 Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not dis- 
 obedient unto the heavenly vision : 
 
 20 But 'shewed first unto them of Damascus, and 
 at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judea, 
 and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and 
 turn to God, and do u works meet for repentance 
 
/''lid's dangerous 
 
 THE ACTS, 
 
 31 For these causes r the .lews caught mc in the' 
 temple, and went about to kill me. 
 
 22 Having therefore obtained help of God, I con- 
 tinue unto this day, witnessing both to small and 
 great, saying none other things than those y which, 
 I lie prophets and -Moses did say should come: 
 
 23 "That Christ should suffer, and b that he should 
 be the first that should rise from the dead, and r should 
 shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles. 
 
 24 And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said 
 with a loud voice, Paul, ''thou art beside thyself; 
 much learning doth make thee mad. 
 
 25 But he said, lam not mad, most noble Festus; 
 but speak forth the words of truth and soberness. 
 
 26 For the king knoweth of these things, before 
 whom also I speak freely. For I am persuaded 
 that none of these things are hidden from him; for 
 this thing was not done in a corner. 
 
 27 King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets ? 
 I know that thou believest. 
 
 28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou 
 ,,ersuadest me to be a Christian. 
 
 29 And Paul said, "I would to God that not only 
 thou, but also all that hear me this 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 Bernice, and they that 
 sat with them : 
 
 31 And when they were gone aside, they talked 
 between themselves, saying, •'This man doeth nothing 
 worthy of death, or of bonds. 
 
 32 Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man 
 might have been set at liberty, *if he had not ap- 
 pealed unto Cesar. 
 
 CHAP. XXVII. 
 
 1 J'uul, shipping toward Rome, 10 foretelleth the danger of the voyage, 
 but is not believed, $c. 
 
 A ND when fl it was determined, that we should 
 £*~ sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain 
 other prisoners unto one named Julius, a centurion 
 of Augustus' band. 
 
 2 And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we 
 launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia, one 
 b A ristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being 
 with us. 
 
 3 And the next day we touched at Sidon. And 
 Julius 'courteously entreated Paul, and gave him 
 liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself. 
 
 4 And when we had launched from thence, we 
 sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary. 
 
 5 And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia 
 and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia. 
 
 6 And there the centurion found a ship of Alex- 
 andria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein. 
 
 7 And when we had sailed slowly many days, 
 and scarce were come over against Cnidus, the wind 
 not suffering us, Ave sailed under || Crete, over 
 against Salmone: 
 
 8 And hardly passing it, came unto a place 
 which is called, The Fair Havens; nigh whereunto 
 was the city of Lasea. 
 
 9 Now when much time was spent, and when 
 sailing was now dangerous, ''because the fast was 
 now already past, Paul admonished them, 
 
 10 And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this 
 voyage will be with II hurt and much damage, not 
 only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.

 voyage toward Home 
 
 11 Nevertheless, the centurion believed the mas- 
 ter and the owner of the ship more than those things 
 which were spoken by Paul. 
 
 12 And because the haven was not commodious 
 to winter in, the more part advised to depart thence 
 also, if by any means they might attain to Pheniee 
 and there to winter ; which is an haven of Crete, and 
 lieth toward the south-west and north-west. 
 
 13 And when the south wind blew softly, sup- 
 posing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing 
 thence, they sailed close by Crete. 
 
 14 But not long after there || arose against it a 
 tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon. 
 
 15 And when the ship was caught, and could not 
 bear up into the wind, Ave let her drive. 
 
 16 And running under a certain island which is 
 called Clauda, Ave had much Avork to come by the 
 boat. 
 
 17 Which Avh en they had taken up, they used helps, 
 undergirding the ship; and fearing lest they should 
 fall into the quicksands,strake'sail,and so Avere driven. 
 
 18 And Ave being exceedingly tossed with a tem- 
 pest, the next day they lightened the ship; 
 
 19 And the third day e we cast out with our oAvn 
 hands the tackling of the ship. 
 
 20 And when neither sun nor stars in many days 
 appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope 
 that Ave should be saved was then taken away. 
 
 21 But after long abstinence, Paul stood forth in 
 the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have 
 hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, 
 and to have gained this harm and loss. 
 
 22 And now I exhort you to be of good cheer 
 for there shall be no loss of any mans life among 
 you, but of the ship. 
 
 23 •'For there stood by me this night the angel 
 of God, whose I am, and *wbom I serve, 
 
 24 Saying, Fear not, Paul ; thou must be brought 
 before Cesar : and lo, God hath given thee all them 
 that sail Avith thee. 
 
 25 Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: A for 1 be- 
 lieve God, that it shall be even as it was told me. 
 
 26 HoAvbeit, 'Ave must be cast upon a certain island. 
 
 27 But when the fourteenth night was come, as 
 Ave Avere driven up and doAvn in Adria, about mid- 
 night the shipmen deemed that they dreAA^ near to 
 some country; 
 
 28 And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: 
 and Avhen they had gone a little further, they sound- 
 ed again, and found it fifteen fathoms. 
 
 29 Then fearing lest they should have fallen upon 
 rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and 
 Avished for the day. 
 
 30 And as the shipmen Avere about to flee out of 
 the ship, Avhen they had let down the boat into the 
 sea, under colour as though they would have cast, 
 anchors out of the foreship, 
 
 31 Paul said to the centurion, and to the soldi era. 
 Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved. 
 
 32 Then the soldiers cut oft' the ropes of the boat, 
 and let her fall off. 
 
 33 And Avhile the day Avas coming on, Paul be- 
 sought them all to take meat, saying, This day i» 
 the fourteenth day that ye have tarried, and con- 
 tinued fasting, having taken nothing. 
 
 34 Wherefore I pray you to take some meat ; f'oi 
 this is for your health: for * there shall net an hail 
 fall from the head of any of you. 
 
/ \iul suffer elk shipwreck : 
 
 35 And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, 
 and 'gave thanks to God in presence of them all; 
 and when he had broken it, he began to eat. 
 
 36 Then were they all of good cheer, and they 
 also took some meat. 
 
 37 And we were in all in the ship two hundred 
 threescore and sixteen "'souls. 
 
 38 And when they had eaten enough, they light- 
 ened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea. 
 
 31) And when it was day, they knew not the 
 land : but they discovered a certain creek with a 
 shore, into the which they were minded, if it were 
 possible, to thrust in the chip. 
 
 40 And when they had If taken up the anchors, 
 they committed themselves unto the sea, and loosed 
 the rudder-bands, and hoised up the mainsail to the 
 wind, and made toward shore. 
 
 41 And falling into a place where two seas met, 
 "they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck 
 fast, and remained unmoveable, but the hinder part 
 was broken with the violence of the waves. 
 
 42 And the soldiers' counsel was to kill the pris- 
 oners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape. 
 
 43 But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept 
 them from their purpose, and commanded that they 
 which could swim, should cast themselves first into 
 the sea, and get to land : 
 
 44 And the rest, some on boards, and some on 
 broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, 
 
 that they escaped all safe to land. 
 
 CHAP. XXVIII. 
 
 1 Paul and company entertained by the barbarians : 8 be healeth many in 
 
 the island, Sfc. 
 
 A ND when they were escaped, then they knew 
 -^-jl- that " the island was called Melita. 
 
 2 And the * barbarous people shewed us no little 
 kindness : for they kindled a fire, and received us 
 eveiy one, because of the present rain, and because 
 of the cold. 
 
 3 And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, 
 ai.d 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 venomous beast 
 hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No 
 doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath 
 escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live. 
 
 5 And he shook off the beast into the fire, and 
 'felt no harm. 
 
 6 Howbeit, they looked when he should have 
 swollen or fallen down dead suddenly: but after 
 they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come 
 to him, they changed their minds, and d said that he 
 was a god. 
 
 7 In the same quarters were possessions of the chief 
 man of the island, whose name was Publius; who 
 received us, and lodged us three days courteously. 
 
 8 And it came to pass, that the father of Publius 
 lay sick of a fever, and of a bloody-flux : to whom 
 Paul entered in, and 'prayed, and f hdd his hands 
 on him, and healed him. 
 
 9 So when this was done, others also which had 
 diseases in the island, came, and were healed : 
 
 10 Who also honoured us with many s honours ; 
 and when we departed, they laded us with such 
 things as were necessary. 
 
 11 And after three months we departed in a ship 
 of Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose 
 sign was Castor and Pollux,

 He preacheth at itonut. 
 
 12 And landing at Syracuse we tarried ther* 
 three days. 
 
 13 And from thence we fetched a compass, and 
 came to Ithegium: and after one day the south winri 
 blew, and we came the next day to Puteoli: 
 
 14 Where we found brethren, and were desired 
 to tarry with them seven days: and so we went 
 toward 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 centurion 
 delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard : 
 but A Paul was suffered to dwell by himself, with a 
 soldier that kept him. 
 
 17 And it came to pass, that after three days, 
 Paul called the chief of' the Jews together. And 
 when they were come together, he said unto them, 
 Men and brethren, 'though I have committed no- 
 thing against the people, or customs of our fathers. 
 yet* was I delivered prisoner from .Jerusalem into 
 the hands of the Romans : 
 
 18 Who 'when they had examined me, would 
 have let me go, because there was no cause of death 
 in me. 
 
 19 But when the Jews spake against it, m I was 
 constrained to appeal unto Cesar; not that I had 
 aught to accuse my nation of. 
 
 20 For this cause therefore have I called for you, 
 to see you, and to speak with you: because that "for 
 the hope of Israel I am bound with "this chain. 
 
 21 And they said unto him, We neither received 
 letters out of Judea concerning thee, neither any 
 of the brethren that came shewed or spake anj 
 harm of thee. 
 
 22 But we desire to hear of thee, what thou 
 thinkest: for as concerning this sect, we know that 
 every where p it is spoken against. 
 
 23 And when they had appointed him a day, there 
 came many to him into his lodging: 'to whom he ex 
 pounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading 
 them concerning Jesus, r both out of the law of Moses, 
 and out of the prophets, from morning till evening. 
 
 24 And 'some believed the things which were 
 spoken, and some believed not. 
 
 25 And when they agreed not among themselves, 
 they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, 
 Well spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias the prophet 
 unto our fathers, 
 
 26 Saying, 'Go unto this people, and sa}\ Heal- 
 ing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and 
 seeing ye shall see, and not perceive. 
 
 27 For the heart of this people is waxed gross, ana 
 their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they 
 closed ; lest they should see with their eyes, and heai 
 with their ears, and understand with their heart, and 
 should be converted, and I should heal them. 
 
 28 *Be it known therefore unto you, that the sal 
 vation of God is sent "unto the Gentiles, and that 
 they will hear it. 
 
 29 And when he had said these words, the Jews 
 departed, and had great reasoning among themselves. 
 
 30 And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own 
 hired house, and received all that came in unto him 
 
 31 * Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching 
 those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ 
 with all confidence, no man forbidding him. 
 
The Epistle of PAUL, the Apostle, to the ROMANS. 
 
 CHAP. I. 
 
 I Paul commendeth to the Romans his calling 16 he shewrth thai the gospel 
 is for the justification of all men through faith. 
 
 I")AUL, a servant of Jesus Christ, "called to be an 
 apostle, 6 separated unto the gospel of God, 
 
 2 ( c Which he had promised afore d by his prophets 
 in the holy scriptures,) 
 
 3 Concerning his son Jesus Christ our Lord,' which 
 was Anade of the seed of David according to the flesh ; 
 
 4 And f ff declared to be the Son of God with power, 
 according Ho the Spirit of holiness, by the resur- 
 rection from the dead : 
 
 5 By whom 'we have received grace and apostle- 
 ship, || for * obedience to the faith among all nations, 
 
 for his name : 
 
 6 Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus 
 Christ : 
 
 7 To all that be 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 spoken of throughout 
 the whole world. 
 
 9 For 9 God is my witness, r whom I serve || with 
 my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that 'without 
 ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers. 
 
 10 'Making request (if by any means now at 
 length I might have a prosperous journey "by the 
 will of God) to come unto } r ou. 
 
 1 1 For I long to see you, that ^ I may impart unto 
 you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be estab- 
 lished; 
 
 12 That is, that I may be comforted together 
 II with you, b} r ,J the mutual faith both of you and me. 
 
 13 Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, 
 that z oftentimes I purposed to come unto you (but 
 "was let hitherto) that I might have some 'fruit 
 || among- you also, even as among other Gentiles. 
 
 14 C I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the 
 Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise. 
 
 15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach 
 the gospel to you that are at Rome also. 
 
 16 Foi d I am not ashamed of the gospel of 
 Christ: for 'it is the power of God unto salvation 
 to eveiy one that believeth; -Ho the Jew first, and 
 also to the Greek. 
 
 1 7 For s therein is the righteousness of God re- 
 vealed from faith to faith : as it is written, h The 
 just shall live by faith. 
 
 18 'For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven 
 against all ungodliness, and unrighteousness of men, 
 who hold the truth in unrighteousness. 
 
 19 Because *that which maybe known of God, is 
 manifest || in them ; for' God hath shewed it unto them. 
 
 20 For m the invisible things of him from the crea- 
 tion of the world are clearly seen, being understood 
 b} r the things that are made, even his eternal power 
 and Godhead ; || so that they are without excuse : 
 
 21 Because that when they knew God, they 
 glorified him not as God, neither were thankful, but 
 " became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish 
 heart was darkened. 
 
 22 "Professing themselves to be wise, they be- 
 came fools; 
 
 23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible

 ^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 to unclean- 
 ness, through the lusts of their own hearts, T to dis- 
 honour their own bodies 'between themselves: 
 
 25 Who changed 'the truth of God "into a lie, 
 and worshipped and served the creature || more than 
 the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 
 
 26 For this cause God gave them up unto ^vile 
 affections. For even their women did change the 
 natural use into that which is against nature : 
 
 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural 
 use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward 
 another; men with men working that which is un- 
 seemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense 
 of their error which was meet. 
 
 28 And even as they did not like || to retain God in 
 their knowledge, God gave them over to || a reprobate 
 mind, to do those things z which are not convenient 
 
 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, forr.ica- 
 tion, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; fall of 
 envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 
 
 SO Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud,

 that do them. 
 
 CHAP. II. 
 
 1 They who condemn sin in others, and do the like themselves, are inexcusable, 
 whether Jews or Gentiles. 
 
 THEREFORE thou art "inexcusable, O man, 
 whosoever thou art, that judgest: *for wherein 
 thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for 
 thou that judgest, doest the same things. 
 
 2 But we are sure that the judgment of God is 
 according to truth, against them which commit such 
 things. 
 
 3 And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest 
 them which do such things, and doest the same, that 
 thou shalt escape the judgment of God? 
 
 4 Or despisest thou c the riches of his goodness, 
 and ^forbearance, and 'long-suffering; -/"not knowing 
 that the goodness of Godleadeth thee to repentance; 
 
 5 Butafter thy hardness and impenitent heart/trea 
 surest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath, 
 and revelation of the righteous judgment of God ; 
 
 6 ''Who will render to every man according to 
 his deeds :

 doing, seek for glory, and honour, and immortality; 
 eternal life : 
 
 8 But unto them that are contentious, and 'do not 
 obey the truth, but obe}' unrighteousness; indigna- 
 tion and wrath, 
 
 9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man 
 that doeth evil; of the Jew *first,and also of thef Gentile;

 Of the Jews j>rcrogoiiVQ 
 
 also perish without law : and as many as have sin- 
 ned in the law, shall be judged by the law, 
 
 13 (For "not the hearers of the law are just before 
 God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. 
 
 14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the 'aw, 
 do by nature the things contained in the law, the^ 
 having not the law, are a law unto themselves. 
 
 15 Which shew the work of the law written in 
 their hearts, || their conscience also bearing witness, 
 and their thoughts || the mean while accusing, or else 
 excusing one another;) 
 
 16 "In the day when God shall judge the secrets 
 of men 'by Jesus Christ, q according to my gospel. 
 
 17 Behold 'thou art called a Jew, and 'restest in 
 the law, 'and makest thy boast of God, 
 
 18 And "knowest his will, and H'approvest the 
 things that are more excellent, being instructed out 
 of the law, 
 
 19 And y art confident that thou thyself art a guide 
 of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness, 
 
 20 An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of 
 babes "which hast the form of knowledge, and of 
 the iruth in the law : 
 
 21 "Thou therefore which teachest another, teach- 
 est thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man 
 should not steal, dost thou steal? 
 
 22 Thou that sayest a man should not commit 
 adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that ab- 
 horrest idols, 6 dost thou commit sacrilege? 
 
 23 Thou that r makest thy boast of the law, through 
 creaking the law dishonourest thou God ? 
 
 24 For the name of God is blasphemed among the 
 Gentiles, through you, as it is ''written. 
 
 25 'For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep 
 the law ; but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy 
 circumcision is made uncircumcision. 
 
 26 Therefore, ■'if the uncircumcision keep the 
 righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumci- 
 sion be counted for circumcision? 
 
 27 And shall not uncircumcision which is by na- 
 ture, if it fulfil the law, *judge.tbee, who by the 
 letter and circumcision dost transgress the law? 
 
 28 For ''he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; 
 neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the 
 tlesh: 
 
 29 But he is a Jew 'which 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. 
 
 CHAP. III. 
 
 1 The Jews' prerogative not made void by the unbelief of some. 20 None 
 justified by the law, but all by God's grace through faith in Christ, with- 
 out difference, §c. 
 
 Y\7"HAT advantage then hath the Jew? or what 
 ' » profit is there of circumcision ? 
 
 2 Much every way: chiefly, because that °unto 
 them were committed the oracles of God. 
 
 3 For what if b some did not believe? 'shall their 
 unbelief make the faith of God without effect? 
 
 4 "God forbid: yea, let e God be true, but-^every 
 man a liar; as it is written, *That thou mightest 
 oe justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome 
 when thou art judged. 
 
 5 But if our unrighteousness commend the right- 
 eousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unright- 
 eous who taketh vengeance? (/'I speak as a man,) 
 
 6 God forbid: for then 'how shall God judge the 
 world ?

 through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also 
 judged as a sinner? 
 
 8 And not rather (as we be slanderously reported, 
 and as some affirm that we say) *Let us do evil, thai 
 good may come? whose damnation is just. 
 
 9 What then? are we better than then? No, in 
 no wise : for we have before f proved both Jews and 
 Gentiles, that 'they are all under sin; 
 
 10 As it is written, ""There is none righteous, no, 
 not one : 
 
 11 There is none that understandeth, there is 
 none that seeketh after God. 
 
 12 They are all gone out of the way, they are 
 together become unprofitable: there is none that 
 doeth good, no, not one. 
 
 13 "Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their 
 tongues they have used deceit; "the poison of anpa 
 is under their lips : 
 
 14 'Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness 
 
 15 'Their feet are swift to shed blood. 
 
 16 Destruction and misery are in their w r ays: 
 
 17 And the way of peace have they not known. 
 
 18 r There is no fear of God before their eyes. 
 
 19 Now we know that what things soever 'the 
 law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: 
 that 'every mouth may be stopped, and "all the 
 world may become || guilty before God. 
 
 20 Therefore x by the deeds of the law, there 
 shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for y by the 
 law is the knowledge of sin. 
 
 21 But s now the righteousness of God without 
 the law is manifested, "being witnessed by the law 
 " and the prophets; 
 
 22 Even the righteousness of God, which is 'by 
 faith of Jesus Christ unto all, and upon all them 
 that believe ; 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, s through 
 the redemption that is in Christ Jesus : 
 
 26 Whom God hath || set forth ''to be a propitia- 
 tion, through faith 'in his blood, to declare his right- 
 eousness *for the || remission of 'sins that are past, 
 through the forbearance of God ; 
 
 26 To declare, / say, at this time his righteous- 
 ness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him 
 which believeth in Jesus. 
 
 27 m Where & boasting then? Itis excluded. B} 
 what law? of works? Nay; but by the law of faith 
 
 28 Therefore we conclude, "that a man is justified 
 by faith without the deeds of the law. 
 
 29 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also 
 of the Gentiles ? Yes, of the Gentiles also : 
 
 30 Seeing "it is one God which shall justify the 
 circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through 
 faith. 
 
 31 
 God forbid : yea, we establish the law 
 
 CHAP. IV. 
 
 1 Abraham justified by faith : 18 his faith recorded for the sakt of thoi* 
 
 who believe. 
 
 "\VTHAT shall we then say that "Abraham, our 
 m father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath fouud? 
 
 2 For if Abraham w 7 ere 'justified by works, ho 
 hath whereof to glory, but not before God. 
 
 3 For what saith the scripture? 'Abraham be- 
 lieved God, and it was counted unto him for right 
 eousnesb. 
 
 UB3 
 
 Do we then make void the law through faith? 
 
 BH 
 
Justification by faiih. 
 
 4 Now rf to him that worketh, is the reward not 
 rockoned of grace, but of debt. 
 
 5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on 
 him that justifieth 'the ungodly, his faith is counted 
 for righteousness. 
 
 6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness 
 of the man unto whom God imputeth righteousness 
 without works, 
 
 7 Saying, f Blessed are they whose iniquities are 
 forgiven, and whose sins are covered. 
 
 8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not 
 impute sin. 
 
 9 Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcis- 
 ion only, or upon the uncircumcision also ? For we say 
 that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness. 
 
 10 How was it then reckoned? when he was in 
 circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circum- 
 cision, but in uncircumcision. 
 
 11 And 4 'he received the sign of circumcision, a 
 seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet 
 being uncircumcised : that '' he might be the father of 
 all them that believe, though they be not circumcised, 
 that righteousness might be imputed unto them also; 
 
 12 And the father of circumcision to them who 
 are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk 
 in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, 
 which he had being yet uncircumcised. 
 
 13 For the promise that he should be the 'heir of 
 the world was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through 
 the law, but through the righteousness of faith. 
 
 11 For fc if they which are of the law be heirs, faith 
 is made void, and the promise made of none effect. 
 
 15 Because 'the law worketh wrath: for where 
 no law is, there is no transgression. 
 
 16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be m by 
 grace; "to the end 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, /( I have made thee a father 
 of many nations) || before him whom he believed, 
 even God, 9 who quickeneth the dead, and calleth 
 those r things which be not, as though they were. 
 
 18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he 
 might become the father of many nations; according 
 to that which was spoken, 'So shall thy seed be. 
 
 19 And being not weak in faith, 'he considered not 
 nis own body now dead, when he was aboutan hundred 
 years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb. 
 
 20 He staggered not at the promise of God through 
 unbelief; 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 imputed to him for right- 
 eousness. 
 
 23 Now x it was not written for his sake alone, 
 that it was imputed to him ; 
 
 24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, 
 if we believe y on him that raised up Jesus our Lord 
 from the dead, 
 
 25 z Who was delivered for our offences, and "was 
 raised again for our justification.

 2 r By whom also we have access by faith into 
 this grace d wherein we stand, and 'rejoice in hope of 
 the glory of God. 
 
 3 And not only so, but Ave glor} r in tribulations 
 also; fi knowing that tribulation Avorketh patience; 
 
 4 A And patience, experience; and experience, 
 hope: 
 
 5 'And hope maketh not ashamed: * because the 
 love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy 
 Ghost which is given unto us. 
 
 6 For when we were yet without strength, || in 
 due time 'Christ died for the ungodly. 
 
 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die 
 yet peradventure for a good man some would even 
 dare to die. 
 
 8 But m God commendeth 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 "from wrath through him. 
 
 10 For^if when we were 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 'joy in God, 
 through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have 
 now received the || atonement. 
 
 12 Wherefore as 'by one man sin entered into 
 the world, and "death by sin; and so death passed 
 upon all men, || for that all have sinned : 
 
 13 (For until the kvw, sin was in the world : but 
 ''sin is not imputed when there is no law. 
 
 14 Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam to 
 Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the 
 similitude of Adam's transgression, v who is the figure 
 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 many be dead, 
 much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, 
 which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded 
 z unto man} r . 
 
 16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the 
 gift. For the judgment was by one to condemna- 
 tion, but the free gift is of many offences unto justi- 
 fication. 
 
 17 For if || by one man's offence death reigned by 
 one; much more they which receive abundance of 
 grace, and of the gift of righteousness, shall reign 
 in life by one, Jesus Christ.) 
 
 18 Therefore, as || by the offence of one judgment 
 came upon all men to condemnation, even so || by the 
 righteousness of one the free gift came "upon all men 
 unto justification of life. 
 
 19 For as by one man's disobedience many were 
 made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many 
 be made righteous. 
 
 20 Moreover Hhe law entered, that the offence 
 might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did 
 much c more abound : 
 
 21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even i>o 
 might grace reign through righteousness unto eter 
 nal life, by Jesus Christ our Lord. 
 
 CHAP. VI. 
 
 1 We must not live in sin, 2 for we are dead unto it; 12 nor let sin rexgn 
 in us. 21 The end and wages of sin is death, Jfc. 
 
 WHAT shall we say then? "Shall we continue 
 in sin, that grace may abound? 
 2 God forbid : how shall we, that are ' ucad to sin. 
 live any longer therein? 
 
Qf navness of life. 
 
 CHAP. VII, V1I1. 
 
 The law is holt/, just, ana good. 
 
 3 Know ye not that ' so many of us as II were bap- 
 tized into Jesus Christ, d were baptized into his death? 
 
 4 Therefore we are 'buried with him by baptism 
 into death: that ■'like as Christ was raised up from 
 the dead by 8 the glory of the Father, * even so we also 
 should walk in newness of life. 
 
 5 'For if we have been planted together in the 
 likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness 
 of his resurrection : 
 
 6 Knowing this, that *our old man is crucified 
 with him, that 'the body of sin might be destroyed, 
 that henceforth we should not serve sin. 
 
 7 For '"he that is dead is f freed from sin. 
 
 8 Now "if we be 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 hath no more dominion 
 over him. 
 
 10 For in that he died, /; he died unto sin once: 
 but in that he liveth, ? he liveth unto God. 
 
 11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be r dead 
 indeed unto sin, but 'alive unto God through Jesus 
 Christ our Lord. 
 
 12 ' Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, 
 that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. 
 
 13 Neither yield ye your " members as f instruments 
 of unrighteousness unto sin : but x yield yourselves unto 
 God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your 
 members as instruments of righteousness unto God : 
 
 14 For y sin shall not have dominion over you: 
 for ye are not under the law, but under grace. 
 
 15 What then? shall we sin, * because we are not 
 under the law, but under grace ? God forbid. 
 
 16 Know ye not, that "to whom ye yield your- 
 selves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom 
 ye obey ; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience 
 unto righteousness? 
 
 17 But God be thanked, that ye were the ser- 
 vants of sin; but ye have obeyed from the heart 
 Hhat form of doctrine t which was delivered you. 
 
 18 Being then c made free from sin, ye became the 
 servants of righteousness. 
 
 19 I speak after the manner of men, because of 
 the infirmity of your flesh : for as ye have yielded 
 your members servants to uncleanness and to ini- 
 quity, unto iniquity; even so now yield your mem- 
 bers servants to righteousness, unto holiness. 
 
 20 For when ye were ''the servants of sin, ye 
 were free f from righteousness. 
 
 21 e What fruit had ye then in those things where- 
 of ye are now ashamed? for f the end of those things 
 is death. 
 
 22 But now s being made free from sin, and be- 
 come servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holi- 
 ness, and the end everlasting life. 
 
 23 For A the wages of sin is death: but 'the gift of 
 God is eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

 I Ifo law hath power over a man longer than he liveth. 7 The law is not sin, 
 12 but holy, just, and good. 
 
 KNOW ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them 
 that know the law) how that the law hath 
 dominion over a man as long as he liveth? 
 
 2 For " the woman which hath an husband, is bound 
 by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but 
 if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law 
 of he?- husband. 
 
 3 So theu, *if while her husband liveth, she be

 married to another man, she shall be called an adul- 
 teress: but if her husband 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 
 c dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should 
 be married to another, even to him who is raised from 
 the dead, that we should ''bring forth fruit unto God. 
 
 5 For when we were in the flesh, the f motions of 
 sins, which were by the law, 'did work in our mem- 
 bers, -^ to bring forth fruit unto death: 
 
 6 But now we are delivered from the law, II that 
 being dead wherein we were held; that we should 
 serve *in newness of spirit, and not in the oldnesu 
 of the letter. 
 
 7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God 
 forbid. Nay, 'I had not known sin, but by the law; 
 for I had not known || lust, except the law h^d said, 
 ' Thou shalt not covet. 
 
 8 But *sin, taking occasion by the commandment, 
 wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For 
 'without the law sin was dead. 
 
 9 For I was alive without the law once: but when 
 the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. 
 
 10 And the commandment '" which was ordained to 
 life, I found to be unto death. 
 
 11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, 
 deceived me, and by it slew me. 
 
 12 Wherefore "the law is holy, and the command- 
 ment holy, and just, and good. 
 
 13 Was then that which is good made death unto 
 me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, 
 working death in me by that which is good; that sin 
 by the commandment might become exceeding sinful 
 
 14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but J 
 am carnal, "sold under sin. 
 
 15 For that which I do, I fallow not: for ^ what 
 I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. 
 
 16 If then I do that which I would not, I consenl 
 unto the law that it is good. 
 
 17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but su 
 that dwelleth in me. 
 
 18 For I know that ? in me (that is, in my flesh, j 
 dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present witt 
 me ; but hozv to perform that which is good, I find not 
 
 19 For the good that I would, I do not; but the 
 evil which I would not, that I do. 
 
 20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more 1 
 that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 
 
 211 find then a law, that when I would do good, 
 evil is present with me. 
 
 22 For I r delight in the law of God, after 'the 
 inward man : 
 
 23 But 'I see another law in "my members warring 
 against the law of my mind, and bringing me into 
 captivity to the law of' sin which is in my members. 
 
 24 O wretched man that I am! who snail deliver 
 me from || the body of this death? 
 
 25 * I thank God, through Jesus Christ ourLoid. 
 So then, with the mind 1 myself serve the law or 
 God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

Of the flesh and the Spirit. 
 
 2 For * the law of c the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, 
 bath made me free from the law of sin and death. 
 
 3 For 'what the law could not do, in that it was 
 weak through the flesh, -/'God sending his own Son 
 in the likeness of sinful flesh, and H for sin, con- 
 demned sin in the flesh: 
 
 4 That the righteousness of the law might be 
 fulfilled in us, *who walk not after the flesh, but 
 after the Spirit. 
 
 5 For * they that are after the flesh, do mind the 
 things of the flesh: but they that are after the 
 Spirit, 'the things of the Spirit. 
 
 6 For *fto be carnally minded is death; but 
 f to be spiritually minded is life and peace : 
 
 7 Because f'the carnal mind is enmity against 
 God: for it is not subject to the law of God, 
 m neither indeed can be. 
 
 8 So then they that are in the flesh cannotpleaseGod. 
 
 9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if 
 so be that" the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now, if any 
 man have not "the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 
 
 10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because 
 •>f sin ; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 
 
 11 But if the Spirit of ''him that raised up 
 Jesus from the dead dwell in you, ? he that raised 
 up Christ from the dead shall 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 shall die: 
 but if ye through the Spirit do 'mortify the deeds 
 of the body, ye shall live. 
 
 14 For "as many as are led by the Spirit of 
 God, they are the sons of God. 
 
 15 For 'ye have not received the spirit of 
 bondage again y to fear; but ye have received the 
 ' Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, ° Abba, Father. 
 
 16 6 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our 
 spirit, that we are the children of God : 
 
 17 And if children, then heirs: c heirs of God, 
 and joint-heirs with Christ; d if so be that we suffer 
 with him, that we may be also glorified together. 
 
 18 For I reckon, that e the sufferings of this 
 present time are not worthy to be compared with 
 the glory which shall be revealed in us. 
 
 19 For ■'the earnest expectation of the creature 
 waiteth for ihe g manifestation of the sons of God. 
 
 20 For A the creature was made subject to vanity, 
 not willingly, but by reason of him who hath sub- 
 jected the same in hope; 
 
 21 Because the creature itself also shall be de- 
 livered from the bondage of corruption, into the 
 glorious liberty of the children of God. 
 
 22 For we know that || the whole creation 
 <sth, and travaileth in pain together until now: 
 
 23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which 
 have *the first-fruits of the Spirit, 'even we our- 
 selves groan within ourselves, m waiting for the 
 adoption, to wit, the "redemption of our body. 
 
 24 For we are 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 that we see not, then do 
 we with patience wait for it. 
 
 26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmi- 
 ties: for ''we know not what we should pray for as 
 we ought: but Hhe Spirit itself maketh interces- 
 sion for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

 27 And r he that searcheth the hearts knowexh

 intercession for the saints, "according to ihe will of God 
 
 28 And we know that ail things work together 
 for good, to them that love God, to them 'who are 
 the called according to his purpose. 
 
 29 For whom "he did foreknow, 'he also did pre- 
 destinate y to be conformed to the image of his Son, 
 ' that he might be the first-born among many brethren. 
 
 30 Moreover, whom he did predestinate, them he 
 also "called: and whom he called, them he also ''jus- 
 tified : and whom he justified, them he also "glorified 
 
 31 What shall we then say to these things? ''If 
 God be for us, who can be against us ? 
 
 32 e He that spared not his own Son, but ^'deliv- 
 ered him up for us all, how shall he not with him 
 also freely give us all things?

 God's elect? E It is God that justifieth:

 or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword ? 
 
 36 As it is written, 'For thy sake we are killed 
 all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the 
 slaughter. 
 
 37 m Nay, in all these things we are more than 
 conquerors, through him that loved us. 
 
 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor 
 life, nor angels, nor "principalities, nor powers, nor 
 things present, nor things to come, 
 
 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other" creature, 
 shall be able to separate us from the love of God 
 which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

 1 Paul's sorrow for the Jews. 7 All Abraham's seed were not the children 
 of the promise. 25 The calling of the Gentiles, and rejection of the 
 Jews foretold. 
 
 I" SAY the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience 
 also bearing me Avitness in the Holy Ghost, 
 
 2 6 That I have great heaviness and continual 
 sorrow in my heart. 
 
 3 For C I could wish that myself were || accursed 
 from Christ, for my brethren, my kinsmen accord- 
 ing to the flesh : 
 
 4 d Who are Israelites; "to whom pertaineth the 
 adoption, and •''the glory, and ff the || covenants, and 
 ''the giving of the law, and 'the service of God, and 
 * the promises ; 
 
 5 'Whose are the fathers, and '"of whom, as con- 
 cerning the flesh, Christ came, " who is over all, God 
 blessed for ever. Amen. 
 
 6 "Not as though the word of God hath taken none 
 effect. For '' they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: 
 
 7 'Neither, because they are the seed of Abra- 
 ham, are they all children: but. In 'Isaac shall thy 
 seed be called. 
 
 8 That is, They which are the children of the 
 flesh, these are not the chihiren of God; but 'the 
 children of the promise are counted for the seed. 
 
 9 For this is the word of promise, 'At this time 
 will I come, and Sarah shall have a son. 
 
 10 And not only this; but when "Rebecca also 
 had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac,

 11 (For the children being not yet horn, neither 
 having done any good or evil, (hat the purpose of 
 God according to election might stand, not of works, 
 but of 'him that calleth ;) 
 
 12 It was said unto her, ''The || elder shall serve 
 the !l younger. 
 
 13 As it is written, * Jacob have I loved, but 
 Esau have 1 hated. 
 
 14 What shall we say then? "Is there 
 eousness with God ? God forbid. 
 
 15 For he saith to Moses, *I will have mercy on 
 whom I will have mercy, and I will have compas- 
 sion on whom I will have compassion. 
 
 16 So then, it is not of him that willeth, nor of 
 him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. 
 
 17 For 'the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, ''Even 
 for this same purpose have 1 raised thee up, that I 
 might shew my power in thee, and that my name 
 might be declared throughout all the earth. 
 
 18 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will 
 have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth. 
 
 19 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he 
 yet find fault? for 'who hath resisted his will? 
 
 *W Nay but, man, who art thou that || repliest 
 against God? -^ Shall the thing formed say to him 
 that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? 
 
 21 Hath not the Spotter power over the clay, of 
 the same lump to make A one vessel unto honour, 
 and another unto dishonour? 
 
 22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and 
 to make his power known, endured with much long- 
 suffering ' the vessels of wrath || & fitted to destruction : 
 
 23 And that he might make known 'the riches of 
 his glory on the vessels of 
 ' afore prepared unto glory, 
 
 24 Even us, whom he hath called 
 Jews only, but also of the Gentiles ? 
 
 25 As he saith also in Osee, °I will call them 
 my people, which were not my people ; and her 
 beloved, which was not beloved. 
 
 26 'And it shall come to pass, that in the place where 
 it was said unto them. Ye are not my people; there 
 shall they be called, The children of the living God. 
 
 27 Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, 'Though 
 the number of the children of Israel be as the sand 
 of the sea, r a remnant shall be saved: 
 
 28 For he will finish || the work, and cut it short 
 in righteousness: 'because a short work will the 
 Lord make upon the earth. 
 
 29 And as Esaias said before, 'Except the Lord 
 of Sabaoth had left us a seed, "we had been as So- 
 doma, and been made like unto Gomorrah. 
 
 30 What shall we say then? ■''That the Gentiles 
 •which followed not after righteousness, have attained 
 to righteousness, y even 
 of fai th : 
 
 3 1 But Israel. ' which followed after the law of right- 
 eousness, "hath not attained to the law of righteousness. 
 
 32 Wherefore ? Because they sought it not by 
 faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For 
 
 they stumbled at that stumbling-stone; 
 
 33 As it is written, c Behold, I lay in Zion a 
 stumbling-stone, and rock of offence : and ''whoso- 
 ever belie veth on him shall not be || ashamed.

 ie righteousness which 
 is of the law, 'That the man whiuh doeth those things 
 shall live by them. 
 
 6 But the righteousness which is of faith Bpeaketh 
 on this wise, 'Say not in thine heart, Who shall 
 ascend into heaven? (that is, to brin<; Christ down 
 from above:) 
 
 7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, 
 to bring up Christ again from the dead.) 
 
 8 But what saith it? *The word is nigh thee, 
 even in thy mouth, and in thy heart : that is, the 
 word of faith, which we preach: 
 
 9 That ''if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the 
 Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God 
 hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 
 
 10 For with the heart, man believeth unto right- 
 eousness; and with the mouth, confession is made 
 unto salvation. 
 
 11 For the scripture saith, 'Whosoever believeth 
 on him shall not be ashamed. 
 
 12 For * there is no difference between the Jew 
 ami the Greek: for 'the same Lord over all, '"is rich 
 unto all that call upon him. 
 
 13 "For whosoever shall call "upon the name o1 
 the Lord shall be saved. 
 
 14 How then shall they call on him in whom 
 they have not believed ? and how shall they believe 
 in him of whom they have not heard? and how 
 shall they hear p without a preacher? 
 
 15 And how shall they preach, except they be 
 sent? as it is written, 'How beautiful are the feet 
 of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring 
 glad tidings of good things ! 
 
 16 But r they havenot all obeyed the gospel. For 
 Esaias saith, 'Lord, who hath believed four jlreport" 
 
 17 So then, faith cometh by hearing, and hearing 
 by the word of God. 
 
 18 But I say, Have they not heard ? Yes verih , 
 t 'their sound went into all the earth, "and their w0rd& 
 
 [unto the ends of the world. 
 
 19 But I sa}', Hid not Israel know? First, Moses 
 saith, * I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are 
 no people, and by a y foolish nation I will anger you. 
 
 20 But Esaias is very bold, and saith, *I Was 
 found of them that sought me not; I was made 
 manifest unto them that asked not after me. 
 
 21 But to Israel he saith, "All day long I have 
 stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and 
 gainsaying people. 
 
 CHAP. XL 
 
 1 A remnant of Israel saved by grace: 7 the blindness of the rest prophe- 
 sied of. 17 The Gentiles may not boast against them 
 
 I SAY then, "Hath God cast away his people? 
 God forbid. For *I also am an Israelite, of the 
 seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. 
 
 2 God hath not cast away his people which c he 
 foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith f of 
 Elias ? how he maketh intercession to God against 
 Israel, saying, 
 
 3 rf Lord, they havekilled thy prophets, and digged 
 
 0S7 
 
The calling of the Gentiles. 
 
 down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they 
 M>ek my life. 
 
 4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? 
 '1 have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who 
 have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal. 
 
 5 •''Even so then at this present time also there 
 is a remnant according to the election of grace. 
 
 6 And *if by grace, then is it no more of works: 
 otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of 
 works, then is it no more grace : otherwise work is 
 no more work. 
 
 7 What then? h Israel hath no! obtained that 
 which he seeketh for; but the election hath ob- 
 tained it, and the rest were || blinded, 
 
 8 (According as it is written, '■ God hath given them 
 the spirit of || slumber, k eyes that they should not see, 
 and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day. 
 
 9 And David saith, 'Let their table be made a 
 snare, and a trap, and a stumbling-block, and a re- 
 compense unto them: 
 
 10 '"Let their eyes be darkened, that they may 
 not see, and bow down their back always. 
 
 11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they 
 should fall"? God forbid : but rather " through their 
 fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to pro- 
 voke them to jealousy. 
 
 12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the 
 world, and the || diminishing of them the riches of 
 the Gentiles; how much more their fulness? 
 
 13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as ° I am 
 the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office : 
 
 14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation 
 them which are my flesh, and '' might save some of them. 
 
 15 For if the casting away of them be the recon- 
 ciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them 
 be, but life from the dead? 
 
 16 For if ''the first fruit be holy, the lump is also 
 holy : and if the root be holy, so are the branches. 
 
 17 And if r soine of the branches be broken off, 
 and thou, being a wild olive-tree, wert graffed in 
 
 || among them, and with them partakest of the root 
 and fatness of the olive-tree; 
 
 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 graffed in. 
 
 20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken 
 off, and thou standest by faith. "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 severity 
 of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward 
 thee, goodness, y if thou continue in his goodness: 
 otherwise Hhou also shalt be cut off. 
 
 23 And they also, "if they abide not still in un- 
 belief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff 
 them in again. 
 
 24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive-tree 
 which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary 
 to nature into a good olive-tree; how much more 
 shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed 
 into their own olive-tree? 
 
 25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be 
 ignorant of this mystery, (lest ye should be ''wise in 
 your own conceits) that c || blindness in part is happened 
 to Israel, ''until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. 
 
 26 And so all Israel shall be saved : as it is written,

 1 Holiness and conformity lo God's will enjoined. 6 Gifts to be used for 
 the common benefit. 9 Sundry practical duties recommended. 19 Re-

 I "BESEECH you therefore, brethren, by the mer- 
 cies of God, 4 that ye 'present your bodies ''a 
 living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is 
 your reasonable service. 
 
 2 And 'be not conformed to this world : but ■'be 
 ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that 
 ye may *prove what is that good, and acceptable, 
 and perfect will of God. 
 
 3 For I say, ''through the grace given unto me, 
 to every man that is among you, 'not to think of 
 himself more highly than he ought to think; but to 
 think f soberly, according as God hath dealt Ho 
 every man the measure of faith. 
 
 4 For 'as we have many members in one body, 
 and all members have not the same office : 
 
 5 So "'we, being many, are one body in Christ, 
 and every one members one of another. 
 
 6 "Having then 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 wait on our ministering: or

 CHAP. XIII. 
 
 1 Of subjection to magistrates. 8 Love is a debt we always owe, and virtu- 
 ally containeth the whole law. 11 Against gluttony, Arc. 
 
 TET every soul "be subject unto the higher pow- 
 -J ers. For * there is no power but of God: the 
 powers that be, are || ordained of God. 
 
 2 Whosoever therefore resisteth c the power, re- 
 fiisteth the ordinance of God : and they that resist 
 shall receive to themselves damnation. 
 
 3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but 
 to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the 
 r »ower? rf do that which is good, and thou shalt have 
 praise of the same : 
 
 4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. 
 Rut if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he 
 beareth not the sword in vain : for he is the minister 
 ">f God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that 
 loeth evil. 
 
 5 Wherefore 'ye must needs be subject, not only 
 tor wrath, ■''but also for conscience' sake. 
 
 6 For, for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they 
 are God's ministers, attending continually upon 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 man any thing, but to love one another: 
 for* he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. 
 
 9 For this, ' Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou 
 shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not 
 bear false witness. Thou shalt not covet; and if there 
 be any other commandment, it is briefly compre- 
 hended in this saying, namely, fc Thou shalt love thy 
 neighbour as thyself. 
 
 10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: there- 
 fore 'love is the fulfilling of the law. 
 
 11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is 
 high time m to awake out of 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 cast off the works of darkness, and 
 'let us put on the armour oi light. 
 
 13 ^Let us walk || honestly, as in the day: 'not 
 in rioting and drunkenness, r uot in chambering and 
 wantonness, 'not in strife and envying. 
 
 14 But ' putye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and u make 
 not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

 '■'> Lei not him that eateth, despise him that eat

 him that, eateth: for God hath received him 
 
 4 ''Who art thou that judgost another man's ser- 
 vant? to his own master he standeth or falleth : yen, 
 he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him 
 stand. 
 
 5 "One man esteemeth one day above another: 
 another esteemeth every da}' alike. Let every man 
 be || fully persuaded in his own mind. 
 
 6 Hethafllregardeth theday,regardeth //untothe

 he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the 
 Lord, for •'•'he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth 
 not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks. 
 
 7 For *npue of us liveth to himself, and no man 
 dieth to himself. 
 
 8 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; 
 and whether we die, we die unto the Lord : whether 
 we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's. 
 
 9 For 'to this end Christ both died, and rose, and 
 revived, that he might he *Lord both of the dead 
 and living. 
 
 10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or whv 
 dost thou set at nought thy brother? for 'we shall 
 all stand before the judgment-seat of Christ. 
 
 11 For it is written, '"As I live, saith the Lord, 
 every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall 
 confess to God. 
 
 12 So then "every one of us shall give account 
 of himself to God. 
 
 13 Let us not, therefore judge one another an}' 
 more : but judge this rather, that 'no man put a stum 
 bling-block, or an occasion to fall in his brother's way 
 
 14 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, 
 /'that there is nothing f unclean of itself: but v to him 
 that esteemeth any thing to be f unclean, to him it is 
 unclean. 
 
 15 But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, 
 now walkest thou not f charitably. ""Destroy not 
 him with thy meat, for whom Christ died. 
 
 16 'Let not then your good be evil spoken of: 
 
 17 ' For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink, 
 but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy 
 Ghost. 
 
 18 For he that in these things serveth Christ, "is 
 acceptable to God, and approved of men. 
 
 19 * Let us therefore follow after the things which 
 make for peace, and things wherer.ith y one may 
 edify another. 
 
 20 r For meat destroy not the work of God. "All 
 things indeed are pure; 'but it is evil for that man 
 who eateth with offence. 
 
 21 It is good neither to eat f flesh, nor to drink 
 wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth. 
 or is offended, or is made weak. 
 
 22 Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before 
 God. ''Happy is he that condemneth not himself 
 in that thing which he alloweth. 
 
 23 And he that || doubteth is damned if he eat. 
 because he eateth not of faith: for 'whatsoever is not 
 of faith is sin.

 1 The strong ought to bear with the weak. 2 We may not please ouit>clvei, 
 7 but receive one another, as Christ also received us, £c.

The receiving of the Gentiles. 
 
 2 c Let every one of us please his neighbour for 
 his good ''to edification. 
 
 3 -"For even Christ pleased not himself: but, as it 
 is written, -The reproaches of them that reproached 
 thee fell on me. 
 
 4 For * whatsoever things were written aforetime, 
 were written for our learning, that we through pa- 
 tience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. 
 
 5 ''Now the God of patience and consolation grant 
 you to be like-minded one toward another || accord- 
 ing to Christ Jesus : 
 
 6 That ye may ' with one mind and one mouth glo- 
 rify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. 
 
 7 Wherefore * receive ye one another, ''as Christ 
 also received us, to the glory of God. 
 
 8 Now I say that '"Jesus Christ was a minister 
 of the circumcision for the truth of God, '* to confirm 
 the promises made unto the fathers : 
 
 9 And "that the Gentiles might glorify God for his 
 mercy; as it is written, /J For this cause 1 will confess 
 to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name. 
 
 10 And again he saith, q Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with 
 his people. 
 
 11 And again, 'Praise the Lord, all ve Gentiles: 
 
 • ft * " 
 
 and laud him, all ye people. 
 
 12 And again Esaias saith, 'There shall be a root 
 of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the 
 Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust. 
 
 13 Now the God of hope fill you with all 'jo}' 
 and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, 
 through the power of the Holy Ghost. 
 
 14 And " 1 myself also am persuaded of you, my 
 brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, x filled with 
 all knowledge, able also to admonish one another. 
 
 15 Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the 
 more boldly unto you in some sort, as putting you in 
 mind, y because of the grace that is given to me of God, 
 
 16 That Z I should be the minister of Jesus Christ 
 to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that 
 the || "offering ud of the Gentiles might be accepta- 
 ble, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost. 
 
 17 1 have therefore whereof 1 may glory through 
 Jesus Christ, b 'm those things which pertain to God. 
 
 18 For I will not dare to speak of any of those 
 things r which Christ hath not wrought by me, d to 
 make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed, 
 
 19 e Through mighty signs and winders, by the 
 power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusa- 
 lem, and round about unto Illyricum, 1 have fully 
 preached the gospel of Christ. 
 
 20 Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, 
 not where Christ was named, ■' lest I should build 
 upon another plan's foundation : 
 
 21 But as it is written. *To whom he was not 
 spoken of, they shall see : and they that have not 
 heard shall understand. 
 
 22 For which cause also * I have been II much hin- 
 dered from coming to you. 
 
 23 But now having no more place in these parts, 
 and 'having a great desire these many years to come 
 unto you; 
 
 24 Whensoever I take my journey into Spain, I 
 will come to you: for I trust to see you in my jour- 
 ney, *and to be brought on my way thitherward by 
 you, if first I be somewhat filled f with your company. 
 
 25 But now 'I go unto Jerusalem to minister un- 
 to the saints.

 partakers of their spiritual things, " their duty is also 
 to minister unto them in carnal things. 
 
 28 When therefore I have performed this, and 
 have sealed to them ''this fruit, I will come by you

 29 v And I am sure that when I come unto you, 
 I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the 
 gospel of Christ.

 sus Christ's sake,and 'for 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 them that || do 
 not believe in Judea; and that "my service which I 
 have for Jerusalem, may be accepted of the saints;

 1 Paur, after salutation and thanksgiving, 10 exhort eth to unity, 11 and 
 rrproveth their dissensions. 20 God, to take away boasting, rejecteth the 
 wisdom of the wise. 
 
 PAUL, "called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ 
 6 through the will of God, and c Sosthenes our 
 brother, 
 
 2 Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, d to 
 them that 'are sanctified in Christ Jesus, / called to be 
 saints, with all that in every place 4 ' call upon the name 
 of Jesus Christ *our Lord, 'both theirs and ours: 
 
 3 * Grace be unto you, and peace from God our 
 Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. 
 
 4 'I thank my God always on your behalf, for 
 the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ; 
 
 5 That in every thing ye are enriched by him, m in 
 all utterance, and in all knowledge; 
 
 6 Even as " the testimony of Christ was confirmed 
 in you. 
 
 / So that ye come behind in no gift; 'waiting for 
 the f coming of our Lord Jesus Christ: 
 
 8 ^Who shall also confirm you unto the end, q that 
 ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus 
 Christ. 
 
 9 r God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto 
 "the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. 
 
 iO Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name 
 of our Lord Jesus Christ, f that ye all speak the same 
 thing, and that there be no f divisions among you; 
 but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same 
 mind, and in the same judgment. 
 
 11 For it hath been declared unto me of you, my 
 brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, 
 that there are contentions among you. 
 
 12 Now this I say, "that every one of you saith, 
 1 am of Paul; and I of ^Apollos; and I of y Cephas; 
 and I of Christ. 
 
 13 r Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for 
 you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul? 
 
 14 I thank God that I baptized none of you, but 
 "Crispus and 'Gaius; 
 
 15 Lest any should say that I had baptized in 
 mine own name. 
 
 16 And I baptized also the household of 'Stepha- 
 nas ; besides, I know not whether I baptized any other. 
 
 17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to 
 ureach the gospel: d not with wisdom of || words, 
 lest the v-ross of Christ should be made of none effect.

 bring 
 
 will destroy the wisdom 
 to nothing the under- 
 
 perish, ^foolishness; but 
 it is the ''power of God. 
 
 19 For it is written, ' 
 of the wise, and will 
 standing of the prudent 
 
 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 after that in the wisdom of God the world 
 by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the 
 foolishness of preaching to save them that belieA e. 
 
 22 For the "Jews require a sign, and the Greeks 
 seek after wisdom: 
 
 23 But we preach Christ crucified, "unto the Jews 
 a stumbling-block, and unto the Greeks ''foolishness; 
 
 24 But unto them which are called, both Jews 
 and Greeks, Christ "the power of* God, and r 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, how that 
 'not many wise men after 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 nought things that are. 
 
 29 ''That no flesh should glory in his presence. 
 
 30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of 
 God is made unto us ~ wisdom, and "righteousness, 
 and 'sanctification, and 'redemption: 
 
 31 That, according as it is written, rf He that 
 glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

 AND I, brethren, when I came to you, "came not

 5 That your faith should not f stand in the wis- 
 dom of men, but ''in the power of God. 
 
 6 Howbeit. we speak wisdom among them 'that 
 are perfect: yet not *the wisdom of this world, nor 
 uf the princes of this world, 'that come to nought: 
 
 7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, 
 even the hidden wisdom m which God ordained before 
 the world unto our glory; 
 
 8 "Which none of the princes of this world knew : 
 for "had they known it, they would not have cruci- 
 fied the Lord of glory. 
 
 9 But as it is written, ''Eye hath not seen, nor 
 ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of 
 man, the things which God hath prepared for them 
 that love him. 
 
 10 But 'God hath revealed them unto us by his 
 Spirit; for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the 
 deep things of God. 
 
 11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, 
 'save the spirit of man which is in him ? " even so the 
 things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 
 
 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the 
 world, but ' the Spirit which is of God ; that we might 
 know the things that are freely given to us of God. 
 
 13 "Which things also we speak, not in the words 
 which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy 
 Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with 
 spiritual. 
 
 14 * But the natural man receiveth not the things 
 of the Spirit of God: y for they are foolishness unto 
 him: z neither can he know them, because they are 
 spiritually discerned. 
 
 15 "But he that is spiritual Hjudgeth all things, 
 yet he himself is || judged of no man. 
 
 16 6 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, 
 that he fmay instruct him? c But we have the 
 aiind of Christ. 
 
 CHAP. III. 
 
 I How Paul dealt with weak believers. 5 The most eminent preachers only 
 
 instruments, Sfc. 
 
 AND I, brethren, could not speak unto you as 
 unto "spiritual, but as unto ''carnal, even as unto 
 'babes in Christ. 
 
 2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: 
 for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet 
 
 now are ye able. 
 
 3 For ye are yet carnal: for •''whereas there is 
 among you envying, and strife, and || divisions, are 
 ye not carnal, and walk fas men ? 
 
 4 For while one saith, *Iam of Paul; and an- 
 other, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal? 
 
 5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but 
 * ministers by whom ye believed, 'even as the Lord 
 gave to every man? 
 
 6*1 have planted, 'Apollos watered: '"but God 
 gave the increase. 
 
 7 So then, " neither is he that planteth any thing, 
 neither he that watereth : but God that giveth the 
 increase. 
 
 8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are 
 one: "and every man shall receive his own reward, 
 according to his own labour. 
 
 9 For ''we are labourers together with God: ye 
 are God's i| husbandry, ye are 'God's building. 
 
 10 r According to the grace of God which is given 
 unto me, as a wise master-builder, I have laid * the 
 foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But 'let 
 every. man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.

 11 For other foundation can no man lay than 
 "that is laid, * which is Jesus Christ. 
 
 12 Now if any man build upon this foundation, 
 gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 
 
 13 y Every man's work shall be made manifest: 
 for the day *shall declare it, because "it f shall be 
 revealed by fire ; and the fire shall try every man's 
 woik, of what sort it is. 
 
 14 If any man's Avork abide which he hath built 
 thereupon, b he shall receive a reward. 
 
 15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall 
 suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; c yet so 
 as by fire. 
 
 16 rf Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, 
 and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 
 
 17 If any man || defile the temple of God, him 
 shall God destroy : for the temple of God is holy, 
 which temple ye are. 
 
 18 "Let no man deceive himself. If any man 
 among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let 
 him become a i'ool, that he may be wise. 
 
 19 For Ahe wisdom of this world is foolishness 
 with God. For it is written, ^He 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 man 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. 
 
 CHAP. IV. 
 
 1 How to account of Christ's ministers. 8 To a self-sufficient vanity Paul 
 opposeth his own afflicted slate, Sec. 
 
 LET a man so account of us, as of "the ministers 
 of Christ, 4 and stewards of the mysteries 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 of you, or of man's f judgment: 
 yea, I judge not mine own self. 
 
 4 For I know nothing by myself; c yet am I not 
 hereby justified : but he that judgeth me is the Lord. 
 
 5 d Therefore judge nothing before the time, until 
 the Lord come, 'who both will bring to light the 
 hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest 
 the counsels of the hearts: and -^then shall every 
 man have praise of God. 
 
 6 And these things, brethren, *I have in a figure 
 transferred to myself, and to Apollos, for your sakes : 
 Hhat ye might learn in us not to think of men above 
 that which is written, that no one of you 'be puffed 
 up for one against another. 
 
 7 For who fmaketh thee to differ from another? 
 and *what hast thou that thou didst not receive? 
 now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, 
 as if thou hadst not received it? 
 
 8 Now ye are full, 'now ye are rich, ye have 
 reigned as kings without us : and I would to God ye 
 did reign, that we also might reign with you. 
 
 9 For I think that God hath set forth || us the 
 apostles last, m as it were appointed to death: for "we 
 are made a \ spectacle unto the world, and to angels, 
 and to men. 
 
 10 "We are ''fools for Christ's sake, but ye an 
 wise in Christ; 'we are. weak, but ye are strong; 
 ye are honourable, but we arc despised. 
 
Of the incestuous person. 
 
 CHAP. V. VI, Vll 
 
 11 r Even unto this present hour we both hun- 
 ger, and thirst, and 'are naked, and 'are buffeted, 
 v.id have no certain dwelling-place; 
 
 12 "And labour, working with our own hands. 'Be- 
 ing reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we sutler it; 
 
 13 Being defamed, we entreat: y we are made 
 fts the filth of the world, and arc the off-scouring 
 of all things unto this day. 
 
 14 1 write not these things to shame you, but 
 'as my beloved sons 1 warn you. 
 
 15 For though ye have ten thousand instructors 
 in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers : for "in Christ 
 Jesus 1 have begotten you through the gospel. 
 
 16 Wherefore, 1 beseech you, 6 be ye followers 
 oi me. 
 
 17 For this cause have I sent unto you'Timo- 
 Mieus, rf who is my beloved son, and faithful in the 
 Lord, who shall bring you 'into remembrance of 
 hiy ways which be in Christ, as I /teach every 
 where *in every church. 
 
 18 A Now some are puffed up, as though I would 
 not come to you. 
 
 19 'But I will come to you shortly, *if the Lord 
 will, and will know, not the speech of them which 
 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 unto you with 
 a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness? 
 
 CHAP. V. 
 
 1 Of me incestuous person C Of necessity the old leaven must be purged 
 
 out, §c. 
 
 T is reported commonly that there is fornication 
 
 is not so 
 "that one 
 
 'Satan for the 
 spirit may be 
 
 Know ye not, 
 
 ■JL among you, and such fornication as 
 much as "named among the Gentiles, 
 should have his c father's wife. 
 
 2 d And ye are puffed up, and have not rather 
 •mourned, that he that hath done this deed might 
 be taken away from among you. 
 
 3 -f For I verily, as absent in body, but present 
 in spirit, have || judged already as though I were 
 present, concerning him that hath so done this deed, 
 
 4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when 
 ye are gathered together, and my spirit, 5 with the 
 power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 
 
 5 ''To deliver such an one unto 
 destruction of the flesh, that the 
 saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. 
 
 6 *Your glorying is not good, 
 that 'a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? 
 
 7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye 
 may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. EW 
 even '"Christ our "passover || is sacrificed for us: 
 
 8 Therefore "let us keep lithe feast, ^not with 
 old leaven, neither 'with the leaven of malice and 
 wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sin- 
 cerity and truth. 
 
 9 I wrote unto you in an epistle, r not to com- 
 pany with fornicators : 
 
 10 'Yet not altogether with the fornicators 'of this 
 world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with 
 idolaters : for then must ye needs go "out of the world. 
 
 11 But now I have written unto you not to keep 
 company , x if any man that is called a brother be a forni- 
 cator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer,or a drunk- 
 ard, or an extortioner : with such an one y no not to eat. 
 
 12 For what have I to do to judge r them also that 
 are without? do not ye judge " them that are within ?

 CHAP. VI. 
 
 1 Of bringing controversies before heath, n judges. 7 How lawsuits man 
 
 be avoided. 
 
 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 shall 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 b judge angels? 
 how much more, things that pertain to this life? 
 
 4 c If then ye have judgments of things per- 
 taining to this life, set them 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? no, not one that shall 
 be able to judge between his brethren? 
 
 6 But brother goeth to law with brother, and 
 that before the unbelievers. 
 
 7 Now therefore there is utterly a fault among 
 you, because ye go to law one with another. ''Why- 
 do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather 
 suffer yourselves to be defrauded? 
 
 8 Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, 'and that 
 your brethren. 
 
 9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not 
 inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceivpd ; 
 f neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor 
 effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 
 
 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, 
 nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the 
 kingdom of God. 
 
 11 And such were ^some of you : *butye 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 things are lawful unto me, but all things 
 are not || expedient: all things are lawful for me, 
 but I will not be brought under the power of any. 
 
 13 * Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: 
 but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the 
 body is not for fornication, but 'for the Lord; m anu 
 the Lord for the body. 
 
 14 And "God hath both raised up the Lord, and 
 will also raise up us "by his own power. 
 
 15 Know ye not, that p your bodies are the membeis 
 of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, 
 and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. 
 
 16 What! know ye not that he which is joined to an 
 harlot is one body ? for* two, saith he, shall be one flesh. 
 
 17 'Buthe that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. 
 
 18 'Flee fornication. Every sin that a man 
 doeth, is without the body ; but he that committeth 
 fornication, sinneth 'against his own body. 
 
 19 What! "know ye not that your body is the 
 temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which 
 ye have of God, J and ye are not your own? 
 
 20 For y ye are bought with a price; therefore 
 glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which 
 are God's. 
 
 CHAP. VII. 
 
 1 The use of marriage. 10 Christ hath forbidden to <fwo/iY the bona 
 
 thereof, ,j-c. 
 
 concerning the things whereof ye wrote 
 
 N 
 
 OW 
 
 unto 
 woman. 
 
 me: "It is "ood for a man not to touch

Of marriage. 
 
 L CORINTHIANS. 
 
 and virginity. 
 
 2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man 
 have his own wife, and let every woman have her 
 own husband. 
 
 3 *Let the husband vender unto the wife due 
 benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the 
 husband. 
 
 4 The wife hath not power of her own body, but 
 the husband : and likewise also the husband hath 
 not power of his own body, but the wife. 
 
 5 'Defraud ye not one the other, except it fowith 
 consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to 
 
 fasting and prayer; and come 
 
 together 
 
 again. 
 
 that 
 
 d Satan tempt ye not for your incontinency. 
 
 6 But I speak this by permission, e and not of 
 commandment. 
 
 7 For 7 ! would that all men were *even as I my- 
 self. But h every man hath his proper gift of God, 
 one after this manner, and another after that. 
 
 8 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, 
 It is good for them if they abide even as I. 
 
 9 But *if they cannot contain, let them marry : 
 for it is better to marry than to burn. 
 
 10 And unto the married I command, l yet not I, 
 but the Lord, '"Let not the wife depart from her 
 husband. 
 
 11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, 
 or be reconciled to her husband : and let not the 
 husband put away his wife. 
 
 12 But to the rest speak 1, "not the Lord, If any 
 brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be 
 pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away. 
 
 13 And the woman which hath an husband that 
 believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, 
 let her not leave him. 
 
 14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by 
 the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the 
 husband: else "were your children unclean; but now 
 are they holy. 
 
 15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. 
 A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such 
 cases; but God hath called us^fto peace. 
 
 16 For what knowest thou, wife, whether thou 
 shalt 'save thy husband? or fhow knowest thou, 
 man, whether thou shalt save thy wife? 
 
 17 But as God hath distributed to every man, as 
 the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. 
 And r so ordain I in all churches. 
 
 18 Is any man called being circumcised ? let him 
 not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncir- 
 cumcision? 'let him not be circumcised. 
 
 19 " Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision 
 is nothing, but 'the keeping of the commandments 
 of God. 
 
 20 Let every man abide in the same calling where- 
 in he was called. 
 
 21 Art thou called being a servant? care not for 
 it; but if thou may est be made free, use it rather. 
 
 22 For he that is called in the Lord, being a ser- 
 vant, is y the Lord's f freeman: likewise also he that 
 is called, being free, is * Christ's servant. 
 
 23 "Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the 
 servants of men. 
 
 24 Brethren, 'let every man, wherein he is called, 
 therein abide with God. 
 
 25 Now concerning virgins, C I have no command- 
 ment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment as one 
 ''that hath obtained mercy of the Lord e to be faithful. 
 
 26 I suppose therefore that this is good for the

 present || distress; I say, •'that it is good for a maD 
 so to be. 
 
 27 Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be 
 loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife ? seek not a wife. 
 
 28 But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned . 
 and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Never- 
 theless, such shall have trouble in the flesh ; but J 
 spare you. 
 
 29 But *this I say, brethren, The time is short. 
 It remaineth, that both they that have wives, be a& 
 though they had none ; 
 
 30 And they that weep, as though they wept not; 
 and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; 
 and they that buy, as though they possessed not; 
 
 31 And they that use this world, as not A abusing 
 it. For ' the fashion of this world passeth away. 
 
 32 But I would have you without carefulness 
 *He that is unmarried, careth for the things fthat 
 belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord : 
 
 33 But he that is married, careth for the things 
 that are of the world, how he may please his wife. 
 
 34 There is difference also between a wife and a 
 virgin. The unmarried woman 'careth for the things 
 of the Lord, that she may be holy, both in body and 
 in spirit: but she that is married, careth for the things 
 of the world, how she may please her husband. 
 
 35 And this I speak for your own profit; not that 
 I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is 
 comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord with- 
 out distraction. 
 
 36 But if any man think that he behaveth him- 
 self uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the 
 flower of her age, and need so require, let him do 
 what he will, he sinneth not : let them marry. 
 
 37 Nevertheless, he that standeth steadfast in his 
 heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his 
 own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he 
 will keep his virgin, doeth well. 
 
 38 m So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth 
 well ; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth 
 better. 
 
 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 iD 
 the Lord. 
 
 40 But she is happier if she so abide, p after my 
 judgment: and V I think also that I have the Spirif 
 of God. 
 
 CHAP. VIII. 
 
 1 Charity preferable to knowledge. 4 An idol is nothing to those who righuy 
 
 know God. 
 
 NOW "as touching things offered unto idols, we 
 know that we all have ''knowledge. f Knowledge 
 puffeth up, but charity edifieth. 
 
 2 And ''if any man think that he knoweth any 
 thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know. 
 
 3 But if any man love God, e the same is known 
 of him. 
 
 4 As concerning therefore the eating of those 
 things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we 
 know that^'an idol is nothing in the world/and that 
 there is none other God but one. 
 
 5 For though there be that are A called gods, whethei 
 in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and 
 lords many;) 
 
 6 But 'to us there is but one God, the Father, *of 
 whom aw? all things, and we || in him; and 'one Lord 
 Jesus Christ, '" by whom are all things, and we by him 
 
Paul asserieth his apostolical character. 
 
 7 Hovvbeit, there is not in every ni;m that knowl- 
 edge : for some ■ with conscience of the idol unto 
 this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol: and 
 their conscience, being weak, is "defiled. 
 
 8 But A meat commendeth lis not to God : for nei- 
 ther if we eat, li are we the better; neither if we eat 
 Qot, || are we the worse. 
 
 9 But 'take heed lest by any means this || liberty 
 of yours become r a stumbling-block to them that are 
 weak. 
 
 10 For if any man see thee, which hast knowl- 
 edge, sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not 'the 
 conscience of him which is weak be f emboldened 
 to eat those things which are offered to idols; 
 
 11 And "through thy knowledge shall the weak 
 brother perish, for whom Christ died ? 
 
 12 But x when ye sin so against the brethren, and 
 wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ. 
 
 13 Wherefore, y if meat make my brother to of- 
 fend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, 
 lest I make my brother to offend. 
 
 CHAP. IX. 
 
 I Paul asserteth his apostolical character, Zand right to a maintenance: 
 24 he striveth to obtain an incorruptible crown. 
 
 \ M °1 not an apostle? am I not free? 'have I not 
 ±\. seen Jesus Christ our Lord? c are not ye my 
 work in the Lord? 
 
 2 If I be not an apostle unto others, yet doubt- 
 less I am to you: for rf the seal of mine apostleship 
 are ye in the Lord. 
 
 3 Mine answer to them that do examine me is this; 
 •t 'Have we not power to eat and to drink? 
 
 5 Have we not power to lead about a sister, a 
 [! wife, as well as other apostles, and as f the brethren 
 of the Lord, and 8 Cephas? 
 
 6 Or I only and Barnabas, A have not we power 
 to forbear working? 
 
 7 Who 'goeth a warfare any time at his own 
 charges? who *planteth a vineyard, and eateth not 
 of the fruit thereof? or who 'feedeth a flock, and 
 eateth not of the milk of the flock? 
 
 8 Say 1 these things as a man? or saith not the 
 law the same also? 
 
 9 For it is written in the law of Moses, m Thou 
 shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth 
 out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? 
 
 10 Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For 
 our sakes, no doubt, this is written : that " he that 
 plougheth should plough in hope; and that he that 
 thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. 
 
 11 'If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is 
 it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things? 
 
 12 If others be partakers of this power over you, 
 are not we rather? ^Nevertheless we have not used 
 this power: but suffer all things, 'lest we should 
 hinder the gospel of Christ. 
 
 13 ' Do ye not know that they which minister about 
 holy things || live of the things of the temple, and they 
 which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar? 
 
 14 Even so 'hath the Lord ordained 'that they 
 which preach the gospel should live of the gospel. 
 
 15 But "I have used none of these things : neither 
 have I written these things, that it should be so 
 done unto ine: for x it were better for me- to die, than 
 that any man should make my glorying void. 
 
 16 For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing 
 to glory of: for ;/ necessity is laid upon me; yea, wo 
 U onto me, if I preach not the gospel '

 17 Foi it 1 do this thing willingly, l l have a re- 
 ward: but if against my will, "a dispensation of tlie 
 gospel is committel unto me. 
 
 18 What is my reward then? Vcrilij fliat. ''when 
 I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Chriftt 
 without charge, that I 'abuse not my power in the 
 gospel. 
 
 19 For though I be ''free from all men, yet have 
 'I made myself servant unto all, J that I might gain 
 the more. 
 
 20 And 'unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that 
 
 I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the 
 law, as under the law, that I might gain them that 
 are under the law; 
 
 21 "To 'them that are without law, as without 
 law, (* being not without law to God, but under the 
 law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are 
 without law. 
 
 22 'To the weak became I as weak, that I might 
 gain the weak: m I am made all things to all t/tc/t, 
 "that I might by all means save some. 
 
 23 And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I 
 might be partaker thereof with you. 
 
 24 Know ye not, that they which run in a race, 
 run all, but one receiveth the prize? "So run, th;it 
 ye may obtain. 
 
 25 And every man that p striveth for the mastery 
 is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain 
 a corruptible crown; but we 'an incorruptible. 
 
 26 I therefore so run, r notas uncertainly; so fight 
 I, not as one that beateth the air : 
 
 27 'But I keep under my body, and 'brins: it into 
 subjection: lest that by any means when I have 
 preached to others, I myself should be " a cast-away.

 1 The Jeivs had sacraments typical of ours. 6 Chmu'ans must not lust after 
 evil tilings: 7 they must avoid idolatry ; 13 God vill in affliction make 
 a way for them to escape, 3fC. 
 
 MOREOVER, brethren, I would uot that ye 
 should be ignorant how that all oar fathers 
 were under " the cloud, and all passed through 'the sea ; 
 
 2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud 
 and in the sea ; 
 
 3 And did all eat the same 'spiritual meat; 
 
 4 And did all drink the same ''.spiritual drink 
 (For they drank of that spiritual Rock that || followed 
 them: and that Rock was Christ.) 
 
 5 But with many of them God was not well 
 pleased: for they 'were overthrown in the wild erne.-. 
 
 6 Now these things were fo ur examples, to the 
 intent we should not lust after evil things, as -^they 
 also lusted. 
 
 7 s Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them : 
 as it is written, ''The people sat down to eat and 
 drink, and rose up to play. 
 
 8 'Neither let us commit fornication, as some of 
 them committed, and *fell in one day three and 
 twenty thousand. 
 
 9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as 'some of them 
 also tempted, and '"were destroyed of serpents. 
 
 10 Neither murmur ye, as "some of them also 
 murmured, and "were destroyed of ''the destroyer. 
 
 11 Now all these things happened unto them for 
 
 II ensamples: and 'they are written for our admoni- 
 tion, r upon whom the ends of the world are come. 
 
 12 Wherefore 'let him that thinketh he standeth, 
 take heed lest he fall.

 13 There hath no temptation taken you but 
 as is common to man: but 'God is faithful, "who will 
 not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; 
 but will with the temptation also x make a way to 
 escape, that ye may be able to bear it. 
 
 1 4 Wherefore,mydearly beloved, y flee from idolatry. 
 
 15 1 speak as to wise "men ; judge }'e what I say. 
 
 16 'The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the 
 communion of the blood of Christ? 6 The bread which 
 we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? 
 
 17 For 'we being many are one bread, and one 
 body : for we are all partakers of that one bread. 
 
 18 Behold d Israel 'after the flesh : •''are not they 
 which eat of the sacrifices, partakers of the altar? 
 
 19 What say I then? *that the idol is any thing, 
 or that which is oftered in sacrifice to idols is any 
 thing? 
 
 20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles 
 *sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God : 
 and I would not that ye should have fellowship with 
 devils. 
 
 21 'Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and * the 
 cup of devils : ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's 
 table, and of the table of devils. 
 
 22 Do we 'provoke the Lord to jealousy? m are we 
 stronger than he? 
 
 23 "All things are lawful for me, but all things are 
 not expedient : all things are lawful for me, but all 
 things edify not. 
 
 24 *Let no man seek his own, but every man 
 another's wealth. 
 
 25 ^Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, 
 asking no question for conscience' sake : 
 
 26 For 'the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness 
 thereof. 
 
 27 If any of them that believe not bid you to a 
 feast, and ye be disposed to go; r whatsoever is set 
 before you, eat, asking no question for conscience' 
 sake. 
 
 28 But if any man say unto you, This is offered in 
 sacrifice unto idols, eat not 'for his sake that shewed 
 it, and for conscience' sake : for 'the earth is the 
 Lord's, and the fulness thereof: 
 
 29 Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the 
 other: for "why is my liberty judged of another 
 mans conscience ? 
 
 30 For if I by || grace be a partaker, why am I 
 evil spoken of for that *for whicn I give thanks? 
 
 31 "Whether therefore ye eat or drink, or what- 
 soever ye do, do all to the glory of God : 
 
 32 *Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to 
 the f Gentiles, nor to " the church of God.

 Of the JuortTs supper. 
 
 with her head uncovered, dishonoureth her head ; 
 for that is even all one as if she were 'shaven. 
 
 6 For if the 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, 
 forasmuch as 'he is 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 "Neither was the man created for the woman, 
 but the woman for the man. 
 
 10 For this cause ought the woman ° to have || power 
 on her head, ^because of the angels. 
 
 11 Nevertheless, 'neither is the man without the 
 woman, neither the woman without the man, in the 
 Lord. 
 
 12 For as the woman is of the man, even so is the 
 man also by the woman; 'but all things of God. 
 
 13 Judge in yourselves : Is it comely that a woman 
 pray unto God uncovered? 
 
 14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that if 
 a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? 
 
 15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory 
 to her : for her hair is given her for a || covering. 
 
 16 But 'if any man seem to be contentious, we 
 have no such custom, 'neither the churches of God. 
 
 17 Now in this that I declare unto you, I praise 
 you not, that ye come together not for the better, 
 but for the worse. 
 
 18 For first of all, when ye come together in the 
 chui'ch, "I hear that there be H divisions among you; 
 and I partly believe it. 
 
 19 For * there must be also || heresies among you, 
 "that they which are approved may be made mani- 
 fest among you. 
 
 20 When ye come together therefore into one 
 place, || this is not to eat the Lord's supper. 
 
 21 For in eating every one taketh before other his 
 own supper: and one is hungry, and Another is drunken. 
 
 22 What! have ye not houses to eat and to drink 
 in? or despise ye "the church of God, and * shame 
 
 not ? What shall I say to 
 in this? I praise you not. 
 
 you 
 
 || them that have 
 shall I praise you 
 
 23 For C I have received of the Lord, that which 
 also I delivered unto } r ou, ''That the Lord Jesus, the 
 same night in which he was betrayed, took bread: 
 
 24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, 
 and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken 
 for you : this do || in remembrance of me. 
 
 25 After the same manner also he took the cup, 
 when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new 
 
 y e > 
 
 as 
 
 oft as ve 
 
 testament in my blood: this do 
 drink it, in remembrance of me. 
 
 26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drinfc 
 this cup, || ye do shew the Lord's death c till he come

 CHAP. XII. 
 
 1 Spiritual gifts are diverge, 7 yet to profit withal, 8 and to that end are 
 all diversely bestowed of God for the general good. 
 
 N 
 
 OW "concerning spiritual ^v/ifs, brethren, I would " chl4 
 
 not have you ignorant 
 
 2 Ye know 6 that ye were Gentiles, carried away 
 unto these c dumb idols, even as ye were led. 
 
 3 Wherefore I give you to understand, ''that no 
 man speaking by the Spirit of God, calleth Jesus 
 II accursed: and 'that no man can say that Jesus is 
 the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. 
 
 4 Now ■'there are diversities of gifts, but *the 
 same Spirit. 
 
 5 A And there are differences of || administrations, 
 but the same Lord. 
 
 6 And there are diversities of operations, but it 
 is the same God ' which worketh all in all. 
 
 7 *But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to 
 every man to profit withal. 
 
 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 an- 
 other, "the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 
 
 10 ^To another, the working of miracles; to an- 
 other, 'prophecy; r to another, discerning of spirits; 
 to another, 'divers kinds of tongues; to another, the 
 interpretation of tongues : 
 
 11 But all these worketh that one and the self- 
 same Spirit, 'dividing to every man severally 'as 
 he will. 
 
 12 For •'as the body is one, and hath many mem- 
 bers, and all the members of that one body, being 
 many, are one body: y so also is Christ. 
 
 13 For z by one Spirit are we all baptized into 
 oue body, "whether we be Jews or f Gentiles, whether 
 we be 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 shall 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 shall say, Because I am not 
 the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not 
 of the body? 
 
 17 If the whole body were an eye, where were 
 the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were 
 the smelling? 
 
 18 But now hath c God set. the members every 
 jne 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 are they many members, yet but one 
 body. 
 
 21 And the eve cannot say unto the hand, I have 
 no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I 
 I have no need of you. 
 
 22 Nay, much more those members of the body, 
 which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:

 excellent, are nothing without charity; 4 the praiu 
 thereof. 
 
 THOUGH I speak with the tongues of men am. 
 of angels, and have not charity, I am become 
 as 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, 6 so that I could remove 
 mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. 
 
 3 And 'though I bestow all my goods to feed the 
 poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and 
 have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. 
 
 4 d Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity en- 
 viethnot; charity ||vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 
 
 5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, 'seeketh not 
 her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 
 
 6 •'Itejoiceth not in iniquity, but *rejoiceth II in the 
 truth ; 
 
 7 ''Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth 
 all things, endureth all things. 
 
 8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be 
 prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, 
 they shall cease ; whether there be knowledge, it shall 
 vanish away. 
 
 9 'For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 
 
 10 But when that which is perfect is come, then 
 that which is in part shall be done away. 
 
 11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I un- 
 derstood as a child, I || thought as a child : but when 
 I became a man, I put away childish things. 
 
 12 For *now we see 
 but then 'face to face: 
 then shall I know even as also I am known 
 
 13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these 
 three; but the greatest of these is charity.

 I^OLLOW after charit}', and "desire spiritual gifts, 
 ''but rather that ye may prophesy. 
 
 2 For he that f speaketh in an unknotvn tongue, 
 
 69i 
 
 through a glass, f darkly; 
 now know in part; but 
 
Of speaking iviih strange tongues. 
 
 Bpenketh not unto men, but unto God : for no man 
 \ understandeth him; huwbeit in the spirit he speak- 
 et h mysteries. 
 
 3 But he that prophesieth, speaketh unto men to 
 edification, and exhortation, and comfort. 
 
 4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth 
 himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church. 
 
 5 I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather 
 that ye prophesied : for greater is he that prophesieth 
 than he that speaketh with tongues, except he inter- 
 pret, that the church may receive edifying. 
 
 6 Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking 
 with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall 
 spoak to you either by ''revelation, or by knowledge, 
 or by prophesying, or by doctrine? 
 
 7 And even things without life giving sound, 
 whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinc- 
 tion in the || sounds, how shall it be known what is 
 piped or harped ? 
 
 8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, 
 who shall prepare himself to the battle? 
 
 9 So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue 
 words f easy to be understood, how shall it be known 
 what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air. 
 
 10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in 
 the world, and none of them is without signification. 
 
 11 Therefore, if I know not the meaning of the 
 voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, 
 and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me. 
 
 12 Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous |of 
 spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edify- 
 ing of the church. 
 
 13 Wherefore, let him that speaketh in an unknown 
 tongue, pray that he may interpret. 
 
 14 For if 1 pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit 
 prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. 
 
 15 What is it then? 1 will pray with the spirit, 
 and I will pray with the understanding also: '1 will 
 sing with the spirit, and I will sing -/'with the un- 
 derstanding also. 
 
 16 Else, when thou shalt bless with the spirit, 
 how shall he that occupieth the room of the un- 
 learned say Amen * at. thy giving of thanks, seeing 
 he undei'standeth not what thou sayest? 
 
 17 For thou verily 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 had rather speak five 
 words with my understanding, that by my voice I 
 
 1 . CORINTHIANS. . Women forbidden to speak in the chun \ 
 
 believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced ol 
 
 might teach others also 
 an unknown tongue. 
 20 Brethren, A be not 
 
 than ten thousand words in 
 
 children in understanding: 
 howbeit, in malice 'be ye children, but in under- 
 standing be t men. 
 
 21 *ln the law it is 'written, With men of other 
 tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; 
 and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the 
 Lord. 
 
 22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them 
 that believe, but to them that believe not: but pro- 
 phesying serveth not for them that believe not, but 
 for them which believe. 
 
 23 If therefore the whole church be come together 
 into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there 
 come in those that are unlearned, or unbelie vers, m will 
 they not say that ye are mad ? 
 
 24 But if all prophesy, and there come in one that

 of peace, 'as in all churches of the saints.

 for it is not permitted unto them to speak: but r they 
 are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith 
 the tf law. 
 
 35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask

 to speak in the church.

 37 z If any man think himself to be a prophet, or

 write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.

 because 'we have testified of God that he raised np ''*«*■*■« 
 Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the 33.&u.^i 
 dead rise not. 
 
 16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised : 
 
 17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain ; 
 "ye are yet in your sins. 
 
 18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in 
 Christ are perished. 
 
 19 *"If in this life only, we have hope in Christ, 
 we are of all men most miserable. 
 
 20 But now y is Christ risen from the dead, and 
 become Hhe first-lruits of them that slept. 
 
 21 For "since by man came death, 6 by man came 
 also the i*esurrection of the dead. 
 
 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ 
 shall all be made alive. 
 
 23 But c every man in his own order : Christ the 
 first-fruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his 
 coming. 
 
 24 Then comet h the end, when he shall have 
 delivered up d the kingdom to God, even the Father; 
 when he shall have put down all rule, and all au- 
 thority, and power. 
 
 25 For he must reign, 'till he hath put all ene- 
 mies under his feet. 
 
 26 ^'The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. 
 
 27 For he A 'hath put all things under his feet. 
 But when he saith all things are put under him, it is 
 manifest that he is excepted which did put all things 
 under him. 
 
 28 A And when all things shall be subdued unto 
 him, then 'shall the Son also himself be subject unto 
 him that put all things under him, that God may be 
 all in all. 
 
 29 Else what shall they do, which are baptized 
 tor the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are 
 they then baptized for the dead? 
 
 30 And fc why stand we in jeopardy every hour? 
 
 31 I protest by || 'your rejoicing which I have in 
 Christ Jesus our Lord, m I die daily. 
 
 32 If || after the manner of men ■ I have fought 
 with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if 
 the dead rise not? "let us eat and drink; for to-mor- 
 row we die. 
 
 33 Be not deceived: 'Evil communications cor- 
 rupt good manners. 
 
 34 'Awake to righteousness, and sin not ; r for 
 some have not the knowledge of God. 'I speak 
 this to your shame. 
 
 35 But some man will say, 'How are the dead 
 raised up ? and with what body do they come ?

 quickened except it die :

 that body that shall be, but ban: grain; it may 
 chance of wheat, or of some other gram: 
 
 38 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased 
 him, and to every seed his own body. 
 
 39 All flesh is not the same flesh; but there in 
 one hind of tlesh of men, another flesh of beasts, 
 another of fishes, and another of birds. 
 
 40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies 
 terrestrial : but the glory of the celestial is one, and 
 the glory of the terrestrial is another. 
 
 41 There is one glory of the sun, and another 
 glory of* the moon, and another glory of the stars; 
 for one star differeth from another star in glory. 
 
 42 * So also is the resurrection of the dead. It 
 is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption : 
 
 43 "'It is sown in dishonour, it is raised in glory: 
 it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power : 
 
 44 It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spirit- 
 ual body. There is a natural body, and there is a 
 spiritual body. 
 
 45 And so it is written, The first man Adam 
 'was made a living soul, "the last Adam was made 
 6 a quickening spirit. 
 
 46 Howbeit, that ivas not first which is spiritual, 
 but that which is natural ; and afterward that which 
 is spiritual. 
 
 47 'The first man is of the earth, d earthy : the 
 second man is the Lord 'from heaven. 
 
 48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are 
 earthy : J and as is the heavenly, such are they also 
 that are heavenly. 
 
 49 And *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; neither doth 
 corruption inherit incorruption. 
 
 51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; k We shall 
 not all sleep, 'but we shall all be changed, 
 
 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at 
 the last trump: '"for the trumpet shall sound, and 
 the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall 
 be changed. 
 
 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, 
 and "this mortal must put on immortality. 
 
 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on 
 incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on 
 immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying 
 that is written, "Death is swallowed up in victory. 
 
 55^0 death, where is thy sting? || grave, 
 where is thy victory? 
 
 56 The sting of death is sin ; and 'the strength 
 of sin is the law. 
 
 57 r But thanks be to God, which giveth us 'the 
 victory, through our Lord Jesus Christ. 
 
 58 'Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stead 
 fast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of 
 the Lord, forasmuch as ye know "that your labour 
 is not in vain in the Lord.

 of God which is at Corinth, *with all the saints

 of many persons, thanks may be given by many on 
 our behalf. 
 
 12 For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our 
 conscience, that in simplicity and "godly sincerity, 
 "not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, 
 we have had our conversation in the world,, and 
 more abundantly to you-ward. 
 
 13 For we write none other things unto you, than 
 what ye read or acknowledge; and I trust ye shall 
 acknowledge even to the end; 
 
 14 As also ye have acknowledged us in pait, 
 ^that we are your rejoicing, even as 'ye also are 
 ours in the day of the Lord Jesus. 
 
 15 And in this confidence r I was minded to come 
 unto 3 r ou before, that ye might have 'a second || benefit; 
 
 16 And to pass by you into Macedonia, and 'to 
 come again out of Macedonia unto you, and of you 
 to be brought on my way toward Judea. 
 
 17 When I therefore was thus minded, did I use 
 lightness? or the things that I purpose, do I pur- 
 pose "according to the flesh, that with me there 
 should be yea, yea, and nay, nay ? 
 
 18 But as God is true, our || word toward you 
 was not yea and nay. 
 
 19 For x the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was 
 preached among you by us, even by me, and Silva- 
 nus. and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, y but in 
 him was yea. 
 
 20 *For all the promises of God in him are yea, 
 and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us. 
 
 21 Now he which established us with you in 
 Christ, and "hath anointed us, is God; 
 
 22 Who Miath also sealed us, and 'given the ear 
 nest of the Spirit in our hearts. 
 
 23 Moreover, d I call God for a record upon my soul,

 BUT T determined this with myself, "that I would 
 not come again to you in heaviness. 
 
 2 For if I make you sorry, who is he then that 
 niaketh me glad, but the same which is made sorry 
 by me? 
 
 3 And I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I 
 came, 4 I should have sorrow from them of whom I 
 ought to rejoice; 'having confidence in you all, that 
 my joy is the joy of you all. 
 
 4 For out of much affliction and anguish of heart 
 J wrote unto you with many tears; ''not that ye should 
 he grieved, but that ye might know the love which 
 I have more abundantly unto you. 
 
 5 But 'if any have caused grief,he hath noK grieved 
 me, but in part: that I may nfot overcharge you all. 
 
 6 Sufficient to such a man is this || punishment, 
 which was inflicted g of many. 
 
 7 A So that contrariwise, ye ought rather to forgive 
 him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such an one 
 should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow. 
 
 8 Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm 
 your love toward him. 
 
 9 For to this end also did I write, that I might 
 know the proof of you, whether ye be 'obedient in 
 all things. 
 
 10 To whom ye forgive anything, I forgive also: 
 for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for 
 your sakes forgave J it || in the person of Christ; 
 
 11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for 
 we are not ignorant of his devices. 
 
 12 Furthermore, *when 1 came to Troas to preach 
 Christ's gospel, and 'a door was opened unto me of 
 the Lord. 
 
 13 m I had no rest in my spirit, because I found 
 not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, 
 J went from thence into Macedonia. 
 
 14 Now thanks be unto God, which always caus- 
 eth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest 
 ' the savour of his knowledge by us in every place. 
 
 15 For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, 
 in them that are saved, and ''in them that perish: 
 
 16 ? To the one we are the savour of death unto 
 death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. 
 And r who is sufficient for these things? 
 
 17 For we are not as many, which || 'corrupt the 
 word of God: but as 'of sincerity, but as of God, 
 in the sight of God speak we || in Christ.

 new testament; not 'of the letter, but of the spirit: 
 for "'the letter killeth, "hut the spirit || giveth life. 
 
 7 But if "the ministration of death,' written and 
 engraven in stones, was glorious, 'so that the chil 
 
 drcn of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face 
 of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which 
 glory was t« be done away ; 
 
 8 How shall not 'the ministration of the Spirit be 
 rather glorious? 
 
 (.' For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, 
 much more doth the ministration 'of righteousness 
 exceed in glory. 
 
 10 For even that which was made glorious had 
 no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that 
 excelleth. 
 
 11 For if that which is done away was glorious, 
 much more that which remaineth is glorious. 
 
 12 Seeing then that we have such hope, 'we une 
 great || plainness of speech : 
 
 13 And not as Moses, "which put a vail over his 
 face, that the children of Israel could not steadfastly 
 look to •'the end of that which is abolished: 
 
 14 But "their minds were blinded : for until this day 
 remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading 
 of the old testament; which vail'mdone away in Christ. 
 
 15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, 
 the vail is upon their heart. 
 
 16 Nevertheless, s when it shall turn to the Lord, 
 "the vail shall be taken away. 
 
 17 Now 'the Lord is that Spirit: and where the 
 Spirit of the Lord is. there is liberty. 
 
 18 But we all, with open face beholding 'as in a 
 glass ''the glory of the Lord, 'are changed into the 
 same image from glory to glory, even as || by tha 
 Spirit of the Lord. 
 
 CHAP. IV. 
 
 1 P(tiiVs unwearied diligence and zeal in preaching: 7 his troubles for the same 
 
 THEREFORE, seeing we have "this ministry, ''a& 
 we have received mercy, we faint not; 
 
 2 But have renounced the hidden things of f dis- 
 honesty; not walking in craftiness, 'nor handling the 
 word of God deceitfully; but d hy manifestation of 
 the truth, 'commending ourselves to every man's 
 conscience in the sight of God. 
 
 3 But if our gospel be hid, -^ it is hid to them that 
 are lost: 
 
 4 In whom *the god of this world *hnth blinded 
 the minds of them which believe not, lest 'the light 
 of the glorious gospel of Christ, *who is the image 
 of God, should shine unto them. 
 
 5 'For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus 
 the Lord; and '"ourselves your servants for Jesus' 
 sake. 
 
 6 For God. "who commanded the light to shino 
 out of darkness, fhath "shined in our hearts, to give 
 ''the light of the knowledge of the glory of God' in 
 the face of Jesus Christ. 
 
 7 But we have this treasure in 'earthen vessels 
 r that the excellency of the power may be of God 
 and not of us. 
 
 8 We are'troubled on exevy side, yet not distressed j 
 we are perplexed, but || not in despair; 
 
 9 Persecuted, but not 'jrsaken; 'cast down, but 
 not destroyed ; 
 
 10 "Always bearing about in the body the dyin? 
 of the Lord Jesus, 'that the life also of Jesus might 
 be made manifest in our body, 
 
 11 For we which live "are always delivered unto

 death for Jesus' sake, that tl.c life also of Jesus 
 might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 
 
 12 So then z death wovketh in us, but life in you. 
 
 13 We having "the same spirit of faith, according 
 as it is written, ''I believed, and therefore have I 
 spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak; 
 
 14 Knowing, that" he which raised up the Lord 
 Jesus, shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall 
 present us with you.^ 
 
 15 For ''all things are 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 
 our outward man perish, yet J the inward man is re- 
 newed day by day. 
 
 17 For ? our light affliction, which is but for a 
 moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and 
 eternal weight of glory; 
 
 18 ''While we look not at the things which are 
 seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the 
 things which are seen are temporal; but the things 
 which are not seen are eternal.

 rani, in assured hope of immortal glory, laboureth to approve himself to 
 
 Christ, #c. 
 
 ^OR we know that if a our earthly house of this 
 - tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building 
 
 of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in 
 
 the heavens. 
 
 2 For in this 6 we groan, earnestly desiring to be 
 clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: 
 
 3 If so be that ' being clothed we shall not be 
 found naked. 
 
 4 For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, be- 
 ing burdened: not for'that we would be unclothed, 
 but d clothed upon, that mortality might be swal- 
 lowed up of life. 
 
 5 Now 'he that hath wrought us for the self-same 
 thing is God, who also -^hath given unto us the ear- 
 nest of the Spirit. 
 
 6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing 
 that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are ab- 
 sent from the Lord : 
 
 7 (For 'we walk by faith, not by sight:) 
 
 8 We are confident, / say, and " willing rather to 
 be absent from the body, and to be present with the 
 Lord. 
 
 9 Wherefore we || labour, that, whether present 
 or absent, we may be accepted of him. 
 
 10 'For we must all appear before the judgment- 
 seat of Christ; fc that every one may receive the 
 things done in his body, according to that he hath 
 done, whether it be good or bad. 
 
 11 Knowing therefore ' the terror of the Lord, we 
 persuade men; but'" we are made manifest unto God; 
 and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences. 
 
 12 For " we commend not ourselves again unto you, 
 but give you occasion "to glory on our behalf, that 
 ye may have somewhat to answer them which glory 
 t in appearance, and not in heart. 
 
 13 For ^whether we be beside ourselves, it is to 
 God : or whether we be sober, it is for your cause. 
 
 14 For the love of Christ constraineth us ; because 
 we thus judge, that ^if one died for all, then were 
 all dead : 
 
 15 And that he died for all, r that they which live 
 should not henceforth live unto themselves, but. unto 
 !onn which died for them, and rose again.

 I He exhorteth to purity of life, 3 and shciceth the source of his comfort in 
 
 afflictions. 
 
 HAVING "therefore these promises, dearly be- 
 loved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthi- 
 ness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in 
 the fear of God. 
 
 2 Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have 
 corrupted no man, 6 we have defrauded no man. 
 
 3 I speak not this to condemn you: for f I have 
 said before, that ye are in our hearts to die and live 
 with you. 
 
 4 d Great is my boldness of speech toward you, 
 'great is my glorying of you: •'lam filled with com- 
 fort, I am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation. 
 
 5 For* when we were come into Macedonia, our 
 Jesh had no rest, but A we were troubled on every 
 side; 'without were fightings, within were fears. 
 
 6 Nevertheless *God, that comforteth those that 
 are cast down, comforted us by ' the coming of Titus ; 
 
 7 And not by his coming only, but by the con- 
 solation wherewith he was comforted in you, when 
 he told us your earnest desire, your mourning, your 
 fervent mind toward me; so that I rejoiced the 
 more. 
 
 8 For though I made you sorry with a letter, I 
 do not repent, ""though I did repent: for I perceive 
 that the same epistle hath made you sorry, though 
 it were but for a season. 
 
 9 Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, 
 but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were 
 made sorry || after a godly manner, that ye might 
 receive damage by us in nothing. 
 
 10 For "godly sorrow Avorketh repentance to sal- 
 vation not to be repented of: "but the sorrow of the 
 7vorld worketh death. # 
 
 11 For behold this self-same thing, that ye sorrow- 
 ed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in 
 you, yea, tvhat clearing of yourselves, yea, what in- 
 dignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, 
 yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge ! In all things ye 
 have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter. 
 
 12 Wherefore, though I wrote unto you, I did it 
 not for his cause that had done the wrong, nor for 
 his cause that suffered wrong, ; ' but that our care for 
 you in the sight of God might appear unto you. 
 
 13 Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: 
 yea, and exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy 
 of Titus, because his spirit q was refreshed by you all. 
 
 14 For if I have boasted any thing to him of you, 
 Lam not ashamed; but as we spake all things to 
 you in truth, even so our boasting, which / made 
 before Titus, is found a truth. 
 
 15 And his f inward affection is more abundant 
 toward you, whilst he remembereth r the obedience 
 of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received 
 him. 
 
 16 I rejoice therefore that '1 have confidence in 
 you in all things.

 abundance of their joy, ;uid "their deep poverty, 
 abounded unto the riches of their f liberality. 
 
 3 For to their power, I bear record, yea. and be- 
 yond their power, they were willing of themselves ; 
 
 4 Praying us with much entreaty, that we would 
 receive the gift, and take upon us Hhe fellowship o* 
 the ministering to the saints. 
 
 5 And this they did, not as we hoped, but first 
 gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by 
 the will of God : 
 
 G Insomuch that c we desired Titus, that as he 
 had begun, so he would also finish in you the samo 
 II grace also. 
 
 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 
 
 also. 
 
 8 fl speak not by commandment, but by occasion 
 of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sin- 
 cerity of your love. 
 
 9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, 
 ^that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he be- 
 came poor, that ye through his poverty might he 
 rich. 
 
 10 And herein "1 give my advice: for 'this is ex- 
 pedient for you, who have begun before, not onby to 
 do, but also to be f* forward a year ago. 
 
 11 Now therefore perform the doing of it; that as 
 there was a readiness to will, so there may be a per- 
 formance also out of that which ye have. 
 
 12 For 'if there be first a willing mind, it is ac- 
 cepted according to that a man hath, and not accord- 
 ing to that he hath not. 
 
 13 For I mean not that other men be eased, and 
 you burdened : 
 
 14 But by an equality, that now at this time your 
 abundance may be a supply for their want, that their 
 abundance also may be a supply for your want : that 
 there may be equality : 
 
 15 As it is written, "' He that had gathered much 
 had nothing over; and he that had gathered little 
 had no lack. 
 
 16 But thanks be to God, which put the same 
 earnest care into the heart of Titus for you. 
 
 17 For indeed he accepted "the exhortation ; out 
 being more forward, of his own accord he went unto 
 you. 
 
 18 And we have sent with him ' the brother, wnose 
 praise is in the gospel throughout all the churches; 
 
 19 And not that only, but who was also 'chosen 
 of the churches to travel with us with this || grace, 
 which is administered by us 9 to the glory of the 
 same Lord, and declaration of your ready mind: 
 
 20 Avoiding this, that no man should blame us 
 in this abundance which is administered by us : 
 
 21 'Providing for honest things, not only in the 
 sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men. 
 
 22 And we have sent with them our brothei, 
 whom we have oftentimes proved diligent in many 
 things, but now much more diligent, upon the great 
 confidence which \\Ihave in you. 
 
 23 Whether any do inquire of Titus, he is my part- 
 ner and fellow-helper concerning you: or our breth- 
 ren be inquired of. they are 'the messengers of the 
 churches, and the glory of Christ. 
 
 24 Wherefore shew ye to them, and before the 
 churches, the proof of your love, and of our boast- 
 on your behalf.

 \ Us sheweth why he sent the brethren, 6 and stirreth them up to give 
 bountifully, as a likely means to increase their store, §c. 
 
 /OR as touching "the ministering to the saints. 
 
 1 
 
 it is superfluous for me to write to you : 
 
 2 For I know 4 the forwardness of your mind, 
 'for which I boast of you to them of Macedonia, 
 that rf Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal 
 hath provoked very many. 
 
 3 c Yet have I sent the brethren, lest our boast- 
 ing of you should be in vain in this behalf; that, 
 ;is I said, ye may be ready : 
 
 4 Lest haply if they of Macedonia come with 
 me, and find you unprepared, we (that we say 
 not, ye) should be ashamed in this same confident 
 boasting. 
 
 5 Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the 
 brethren, that they would go before unto you, and 
 make up beforehand your f bounty, || whereof ye 
 had notice before, that the same might be ready, 
 as a matter of bounty, and not as of covetousness. 
 
 6 -/"But this I say, Pie which soweth sparingly, 
 shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth 
 bountifully, shall reap also bountifully. 
 
 7 Every man according as he purposeth in his 
 heart, so let him give; *not grudgingly, or of neces- 
 sity: for A God loveth a cheerful giver. 
 
 8 'And God is able to make all grace abound 
 toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency 
 in all things, may abound to every good work : 
 
 9 (As it is written, fc He hath dispersed abroad; 
 he hath given to the poor: his righteousness re- 
 maineth for ever. 
 
 10 Now he that ' ministereth seed to the sower, 
 both minister bread for your food, and multiply 
 your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your 
 "righteousness;) 
 
 11 Being enriched in every thing to all || f boun- 
 tifulness, " which causeth through us thanksgiving 
 to God. 
 
 12 For the administration of this service not 
 only "supplieth the want of the saints, but is abun- 
 dant also by many thanksgivings unto God; 
 
 13 While by the experiment of this ministration 
 they ^ glorify God for your professed subjection 
 unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal q dis- 
 tribution unto them, and unto all men; 
 
 14 And by their prayer for you, which long 
 after you, for the exceeding 'grace of God in you. 
 
 15 Thanks he unto God "for his unspeakable gift.

 8 For though I should boast somewhat more 'of

 edification, and not for your destruction, p ~i should 
 not be ashamed: 
 
 9 That I may not seem as if I would terrify you

 10 For his letters (jf say they) are weighty and

 we are come as far as to you also in preaching tho

 15 Not boasting of things without our measure, 
 that is, x of other men's labours; but having hope, 
 when your faith is increased, that we shall be || en- 
 larged by you, according to our rule abundantly, 
 
 16 To preach the, gospel in the regions beyond 
 you, and not to boast in another man's || hue of 
 things made ready to our hand. 
 
 17 ^But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord 
 
 18 For z not he that commendeth himself is

 CHAP. XL 
 
 1 Paul unwillingly entereth into a commendation of himself with thi other 
 apostles: 7 he declinelh being chargeable: 23 he sheweth his suj) rings 
 for the gospel. 
 
 WOULD to God ye could bear with me a attle 
 in "my folly : and indeed || bear with m.'. 
 
 2 For I am b jealous over you with godly jeal- 
 ousy : for C I have espoused you to one husband, ''that 
 I may present you e as a chaste virgin to Christ. 
 
 3 But I fear, lest by any means, as f ihe serpent be- 
 guiled 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 re- 
 ceive another spirit, which ye have not received, 
 or ''another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye 
 might well bear || with him. 
 
 5 For I suppose 'I was not a whit behind the 
 very chiefest apostles. 
 
 6 But though k I be rude in speech, yet not 'in 
 knowledge; but "'we have been thoroughly mado 
 manifest among you in all things. 
 
 7 Have I committed an offence "in abasing my 
 self that ye might be exalted, because I have 
 preached to you the gospel of God freelv ? 
 
Paul fflwietk in afflictions : 
 
 S 1 robbed other churches, taking wages of them, 
 to do you service. 
 
 9 And when I was present with you, and wanted, 
 I was chargeable to no man : for that which was 
 lacking to rne ''the brethren which came from Ma- 
 cedonia supplied : and in all things I have kept my- 
 self 'from being burdensome unto you, and so will I 
 keep myself. 
 
 10 r As the truth of Christ is in me, f 'no man shall 
 stop me of this 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 them which desire occasion; that 
 wherein they glory, they may be found even as we. 
 
 13 For such * are false apostles, y deceitful workers, 
 transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 
 
 14 And no marvel,; for Satan himself is trans- 
 formed into *an angel of light. 
 
 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers 
 tlso be transformed as the "ministers of righteous- 
 ness; * whose end shall be according to their works. 
 
 16 e I say again, Let no man think me a fool; if 
 otherwise, yet as a fool || receive me, that I may 
 ..oast myself a little. 
 
 17 That which I speak, d I speak it not after the 
 .jord, but as it were foolishly, e in this confidence of 
 
 •oasting. 
 
 18 f Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will 
 glory also. 
 
 19 For ye suffer fools gladly, * seeing ye yourselves 
 are wise. 
 
 20 For ye suffer, A if a man bring you into bondage, 
 if a man devour you, if a man take of you, if a man 
 exalt himself, if a man smite you on the face. 
 
 21 I speak as concerning reproach, 'as though we 
 lad been weak. Howbeit, * whereinsoever any is 
 )old, (I speak foolishly) I am bold also. 
 
 22 Are they Hebrews? 'so am I. Are they Israel- 
 4 es ? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham ? so am I. 
 
 23 Are they ministers if Christ ? (I speak as a 
 .ool) lam move; m in labour* more abundant, "in stripes 
 above measure, in prisons more frequent, "in deaths oft. 
 
 24 Of the Jews five times received I p forty stripes

 1 He chooselh to commend his ape illeship, not by revelation.; 9 but by hit 
 infirmities, 11 blaming them for forcing his boasting 
 
 IT is not expedient for me doubtless to glory, f I 
 will come to visions and revelations of the Lord 
 
 2 1 knew a man "in Christ above fourteen years 
 ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether 
 out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such 
 an one * caught up to the third heaven. 
 
 3 And I knew such a man. (whether in the body, 
 or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth ;) 
 
 4 How that he was caught up into 'paradise, and 
 heard unspeakable words, which it is not || lawful for 
 a man to utter. 
 
 5 Of such an one will I glory : ''yet of myself I 
 will not glory, but in my infirmities. 
 
 6 For ' though I would desire to glory, I shall not 
 be a fool; for I will say the truth; but now I forbear, 
 lest any man should think of me above that which 
 he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me. 
 
 7 And lest I should be exalted above measure 
 through the abundance of the revelations, there was 
 given to me a-^thorn in the flesh/the messenger of Sa ta n 
 to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. 
 
 8 A For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that 
 it might depart from me. 
 
 9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for 
 thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness 
 Most gladly therefore 'will I rather glory in my in 
 firmities, * that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 
 
 10 Therefore 'I take pleasure in infirmities, in re- 
 proaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses 
 for Christ's sake: m for when I am weak, then am 1 
 strong. 
 
 Ill am become "a fool in glorying ; ye have com- 
 pelled me: for I ought to have been commended of 
 you : for " in nothing am I behind the very chiefest 
 apostles, though ''I be nothing. 
 
 12 q Truly the signs of an apostle were wi ought 
 among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, 
 and mighty deeds. 
 
 13 'For what is it wherein ye were inferior to 
 other churches, except it be that 'I myself was not 
 burdensome to you ? forgive me ' this wrong. 
 
 14 "Behold, the third time I am ready to come to 
 you ; and I will not be burdensome to you : for x I seek 
 not yours, but you. y For the children ought not to lay 
 up for the parents, but the parents for the children. 
 
 15 And S I will very gladly spend and be spent 
 "for ty° u ; though * the more abundantly I love you. 
 the less I be loved. 
 
 16 But be it so, C I did not burden you: never- 
 theless, being crafty, I caught j'ou with guile. 
 
 17 d Did 1 make a gain of you by any of them 
 whom I sent unto your 
 
 18 'I desired Titus, and with him I sent a -''brother 
 Did Titus make a gain of you? walked wo not in 
 the same spirit ? walked toe not in the same steps '.' 
 
 19 8 Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves 
 unto } r ou? ''we speak before God in Christ: 'but tos 
 do all things, dearly beloved, for 30111' edifying. 
 
 20 Fori fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find 
 you such as I would, and that k I shall be found unto 
 you such as ye would not: lest there be debates 
 envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whispering:, 
 
 slimes, tumults : 
 
 swellings,

 21 And lest, when I come again, my God 'will 
 humble me among you, and that 1 shall bewail many 
 "which have sinned already, and have not repented 
 of the uncleanness, and " fornication, and lascivious- 
 ness, which they have committed. 
 CRAP. XIII. 
 
 1 lit threaleneth obstinate sinners. 5 He adviseth them to a trial of their 
 
 faith. 
 
 rPHIS is "the third time I am coming to you: 6 In 
 •i- the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every 
 word be established. 
 
 2 C I told you before, and foretell you,as if I were 
 present, the second time ; and being absent now I 
 write to them ''which heretofore have sinned, and to 
 all other, that, if I come again, e I will not spare : 
 
 3 Since ye seek a proof of Christ r speaking in me, 
 which to you- ward is not weak, but is mighty A 'in you. 
 
 4 h For though he was crucified through weakness, 
 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 'Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the 
 faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your 
 own selves, m how that Jesus Christ is in you, except 
 ye be " reprobates ?

 IT The second epistle to the Corinthians was written 
 from Philippi, a city of Macedonia, by Titus and

 The Epistle of PAUL, the Apostle, to the GALATIANS. 
 
 CHAP. I. 
 
 1 Pauls salutation : G he wonders that they had so soon left the truth of the 
 
 gospel, <5 - c. 
 
 PAUL, an apostle, ("not of men, neither by man, 
 but *by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, c who 
 raised him from the dead;) 
 
 2 And all the brethren d which are with me, 'unto 
 the churches of Galatia : 
 
 3 -/'Grace be to you, and peace from God the Father, 
 and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 
 
 4 'Who gave himself for our sins, that he might 
 deliver us Mrorn this present evil world, according 
 to the will of God and our Father: 
 
 5 To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. 
 
 6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed 'from 
 him that called you into the grace of Christ, unto 
 another gospel : 
 
 7 * Which is not another; but there be some 'that 
 trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 
 
 8 But though m we, or an angel from heaven, preach 
 any other gospel unto you than that which we have 
 ureached unto you, let him be accursed. 
 
 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any 
 „ian preach any other gospel unto you " than that 
 ye have received, let him be accursed. 
 
 10 For "do I now ^persuade men, or God? or 'do 
 1 seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I 
 should not be the servant of Christ. 
 
 11 r But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel 
 which was preached of me is not after man : 
 
 12 For 'I neither received it of man, neither was 
 1 taught it, but 'by the revelation of Jesus Christ. 
 
 13~For ye have heard of my conversation in time 
 past in the Jews' religion, how that "beyond meas- 
 ure I persecuted the church of God, and * wasted it; 
 
 14 And profited in the Jews' religion above many 
 my t equals in mine own nation, "being more exceed- 
 ingly zealous *of the traditions of my fathers.

 from my mother's womb, and called meby his-, grace 
 
 16 6 To reveal his Son in me, that "I might preach 
 him among the heathen; immediately I conferred 
 not with rf flesh and blood : 
 
 17 Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which 
 were apostles before me: but I went into Arabia, 
 and returned again unto Damascus. 
 
 18 Then after three years, e I went up to Jerusa- 
 lem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days. 
 
 19 But Mother of the apostles saw I none, save 
 °James the Lord's brother. 
 
 20 Now the things which I write unto you. ''be-

 21 'Afterwards 1 came into the regions of Syria 
 and Cilicia: 
 
 22 And was unknown by face 4 unto the churches 
 of Judea which 'were in Christ:

 justification by faith, and not by works: 20 they that are so justified li->* 
 not in sin. 
 
 THEN fourteen years after "I went up again to 
 Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with 
 me also. 
 
 2 And I went up by revelation, *and communi- 
 cated unto them that gospel which I preach among 
 the Gentiles, but || privately to them which were of 
 reputation, lest by any means C I should run, or had 
 run, in vain. 
 
 3 But neither Titus, who was with me, being a 
 Greek, was compelled to be circumcised: 
 
 4 And that because of ''false brethren unawares 
 brought in, who came in privily to spy out oui 'lib- 
 erty which we have in Christ Jesus, Ahat they might 
 bring us into bondaffo •• 
 
Of justification by faith.

 Tor an hour; that *the truth of the gospel might 
 continue with you. 
 
 6 But of those, A who seemed to be somewhat, 
 whatsoever they were, it- maketh no matter to me : 
 'God accepteth no man's person : for they who seemed 
 to be somewhat, *in conference added nothing to me : 
 
 7 But contrariwise, 'when they saw that the gos- 
 pel of the uncircumcision '"was committed unto me, 
 as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter; 
 
 8 (For he that wrought effectually in Peter to 
 the apostleship of the circumcision, "the same was 
 "mighty in me toward the Gentiles:) 
 
 9 And when James, Cephas, and John, who 
 seemed to be ^pillars, perceived 'the grace that was 
 given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the 
 right hands of fellowship ; that we should go unto 
 the heathen, and they unto the circumcision. 
 
 10 Only they would that we should remember the 
 poor; 'the same which I also was forward to do. 
 
 11 'But when Peter was come to Antioch, I with- 
 stood him to the face, because he was to be blamed. 
 
 12 For, before that certain came from James, 'he 
 did eat with the Gentiles : but when they were come, 
 he withdrew, and separated himself, fearing them 
 which were of the circumcision. 
 
 13 And the other Jews dissembled likewise with 
 him ; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried 
 away with their dissimulation. 
 
 14 But when I saw that they walked not up- 
 rightly according to "the truth of the gospel, I said 
 unto Peter * before them all, y If thou, being a Jew, 
 livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as 
 do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to 
 live as do the Jews ? 
 
 15 *We who are Jews by nature, and not "sinners 
 of the Gentiles, 
 
 16 'Knowing that a man is not justified by the 
 works of the law, but c by the faith of Jesus Christ, 
 even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we 
 might be justified by the faith, of Christ, and not by 
 the works of the law : for rf 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 e sinners, is 
 therefore Christ the minister of sin ? God forbid. 
 
 18 For if I build again the things which I de- 
 stroyed, I make myself a transgressor. 
 
 19 For I f through the law s am dead to the law, 
 that I might ''live unto God. 
 
 20 I am 'crucified with Christ : nevertheless, I 
 live ; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me : and the life 
 which I now live in the flesh, * Hive by the faith of the 
 Son of God, 'who loved me, and gave himself for me. 
 
 21 1 do not frustrate the grace of God : for '"if 
 righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead 
 in vain.

 1 He askelh what moved them to depend on the law, having received the 
 Spirit through faith. 6 Abraham being justified by faith, so they who 
 are of faith inherit hit blessing. 
 
 FOOLISH Galatians, "who hath bewitched 
 you, that ye should not obey Uhe truth, before 
 whose ej'es Jesus Christ hath been evidently set 
 forth, crucified among you ?

 A braham justified by faith. 
 
 8 Are ye so foolish? 'having be^un in the Spirit. 
 are ye now made perfect by the t flesh 1 
 
 4 'Have ye suffered || so many things in vain ? ; l 
 it be yet in vain. 
 
 5 He therefore Hhatministereth to you the Spiii', 
 and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it l»y the 
 works of the law, or by the hearing of faith ? 
 
 6 Even as 'Abraham believed God, and it was 
 II accounted to him for righteousness. 
 
 7 Know ye therefore, that *fchey which are of 
 faith, the same are the children of Abraham. 
 
 8 And 'the scripture, foreseeing that God would 
 justify the heathen through faith, preached before 
 the gospel unto Abraham, saying, m ln thee shall all 
 nations be blessed. 
 
 9 So then they which be of faith are blessed 
 with faithful Abraham. 
 
 10 For as many as are of the works of the law, 
 are under the curse : for it is written, ■ Cursed is 
 every one that continueth not in all things which 
 are written in the book of the law to do them. 
 
 11 But "that no man is justified by the law in 
 the sight of God, it is evident : for, p The just shall 
 live by faith. 
 
 12 And ? the law is not of faith : but, r The man 
 that doeth them shall live in them. 
 
 13 'Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of 
 the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, 
 ' Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree : 
 
 14 "That the blessing^ of Abraham might come 
 on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might 
 receive x the promise of the Spirit through faith. 
 
 15 Brethren, I speak after the manner of men ; 
 y Though it be but a man's || covenant, yet if it be 
 confirmed, no man disannulled or addeth thereto. 
 
 16 Now Ho Abraham and his seed were the pro- 
 mises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many ; 
 but as of one, And to thy seed, which is " Christ. 
 
 17 And this I say, That the covenant that was 
 confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, "which 
 was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot dis- 
 annul, c that it should make the promise of none effect. 
 
 18 For if ''the inheritance be of the law, 'it is no 
 more of promise : but God gave it to Abraham by 
 promise. 
 
 19 Wherefore then servcth the law ? f \t was ad- 
 ded because of transgressions, till 'the seed should 
 come to whom the promise was made ; and it was 
 ''ordained by angels in 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 ? 
 God forbid : 'for if there had been a law given 
 which could have given life, verily righteousness 
 should have been by the law. 
 
 22 But '"the scripture hath concluded "all under 
 sin, "that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might 
 be given to them that believe. 
 
 23 But before faith came, we were kept under 
 the law, shut up unto the faith which should after- 
 wards be revealed. 
 
 24 Wherefore ''the law was our school-master to 
 bring us unto Christ, ''that we might be justified by 
 faith. 
 
 25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer 
 under a school-master. 
 
 26 For ye r are all the children of God bv faith 
 in Christ Jesus. 
 
 ni7 
 
Christ frecth us from the law. 
 
 27 For 'as many of yoa as have been baptized 
 into Christ, 'have nut on Christ. 
 
 28 "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is nei- 
 ther bond nor free, there is neither male nor female : 
 for ye are all •''one in Christ Jesus. 
 
 29 And "'if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's 
 seed, and x heirs according to the promise. 
 
 CHAP. IV. 
 
 1 The Jews were for a while under the law, 4 but Christ came to redeem, 
 and to give both to Jews and Gentiles the adoption of sons .... 11 Paul's 
 lender regard for them. 
 
 OW I say, That the heir, as long as he 
 
 GALAT1AR ». 
 
 N 
 
 is a 
 
 child, differeth nothing from a servant, though 
 he be lord of all ; 
 
 2 But is under tutors and governors until the 
 time appointed of the father. 
 
 3 Even so 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, 'made d of a woman, 'made 
 under the law, 
 
 5 •'To redeem them that were under the law, 
 'that we might receive the adoption of sons. 
 
 6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth h the 
 Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. 
 
 7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a 
 son; 'and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. 
 
 8 Howbeit then,* when ye knew not God, 'ye did 
 service unto them which by nature are no gods. 
 
 9 But now, "after that ye have known God, or 
 rather are known of God, " how turn ye || again to 
 "the weak and beggarly || elements, whereunto ye 
 desire again to be in bondage? 
 
 10 p Ye observe days, and months, and times, and 
 years. 
 
 11 I am afraid of you, 'lest I have bestowed upon 
 you labour in vain. 
 
 12 Brethren, I beseech you, be as I am; for I 
 am as ye are: r ye have not injured me at all. 
 
 13 Ye know how 'through infirmity of the flesh 
 I preached the gospel unto you 'at the first. 
 
 14 And my temptation which was in my flesh ye 
 despised not, nor rejected; but received me "as an 
 angel of God, "even as Christ Jesus. 
 
 15 || Where is then the blessedness ye spake of? 
 for I bear you record, that, if it had been possible, ye 
 would have plucked out your own eyes, and have 
 given them to me. 
 
 16 Am I therefore become your enemy y because 
 1 tell you the truth ? 
 
 17 They z zealously affect 3 r ou, but not well; yea, 
 they would exclude || you, that ye might affect them. 
 
 18 But it is good to be zealously affected always in a 
 good thing, and not only when lam present with you. 
 
 19 "My little children, of whom I travail in birth 
 again, until Christ be formed in you, 
 
 20 I desire to be present with you now, and to 
 change my voice ; for || I stand in doubt of you. 
 
 21 Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law 
 do ye not hear the law ? 
 
 22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons; 
 the one by a bond-maid, c the other by a free-woman. 
 
 23 But he ivho was of the bond-woman, ''Avas born 
 after the flesh; e but he of the free-woman was by 
 promise. 
 
 24 Which things are an allegory: for these are 
 the two || covenants; the one from the mount f^ Sinai, 
 which genderefh to bondage, which is Agar.

 Of the liberty of the gospel 
 
 25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and 
 || answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in 
 bondage with her children. 
 
 26 But s Jerusalem which is above is free, which 
 is the mother of us all. 
 
 27 For it is written, h Rejoice, thou barren that 
 bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailed 
 not : for the desolate hath many more children thar 
 she which hath an husband. 
 
 28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are 'the chil 
 dren of promise. 
 
 29 But as then *he that was born after the flesn 
 persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, 'evev 
 so it is now. 
 
 30 Nevertheless, what saith m the scripture ? " Caa 
 out the bond-woman and her son: for "the son a 
 the bond-woman shall not be heir with the son ot 
 the free-woman. 
 
 31 So then, brethren, we are not children of *hb 
 bond-woman, /"but of the free. 
 
 CHAP. V. 
 
 1 He moveth them to maintain their Christian liberty, 3 and not to observt 
 circumcision, 13 but rather love. ... 19 The work* of the flesh: I'l <*« 
 fruits of the Spirit. 
 
 STAND fast therefore in "the liberty wherewith 
 Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled 
 again 'with the yoke of bondage. 
 
 2 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that c if ye be cir 
 cumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. 
 
 3 For I testify again to every man that is cir- 
 cumcised, ''that he is a debtor to do the whole law. 
 
 4 e Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever 
 of you are justified by the law; ^y e are fallen from grace. 
 
 5 For we through the Spirit r wait for the hope 
 of righteousness by faith. 
 
 6 For A in Jesus Christ neither circumcieion . avail 
 eth any thing, nor uncircumcision ; but 'faith which 
 worketh by love. 
 
 7 Ye Mid run well; ' || who did hinder you that 
 ye should not obey the truth ? 
 
 8 This persuasion cometh not of him m that calleth 
 you. 
 
 9 "A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. 
 
 10 "I have confidence in you through the Lord, that 
 ye will be none otherwise minded : but ^he that trou- 
 bleth you 'shall bear Ms judgment, whosoever he be. 
 
 11 r And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, 
 'why do I yet suffer persecution? then is 'the of 
 fence of the cross ceased. 
 
 12 "I would they were even cut off x which trouble 
 you. 
 
 13 
 
 erty 
 
 For, brethren, ye have been called unto Jib- 
 only y use not liberty for an occasion to the 
 flesh, but *by love serve one another. 
 
 14 For "all the law is fulfilled in one word, eve?, 
 in this, *Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself*. 
 
 15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take 
 heed that ye be not consumed one of another. 
 
 16 This I say then, c Walk in the Spirit, and H ye 
 shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 
 
 17 For ''the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and 
 the Spirit against the flesh : and these are contrary 
 the one to the other; 'so that ye cannot do the 
 things that ye would. 
 
 18 But ■'' if ye be led by the Spirit, ye art not 
 under the law. 
 
 19 Now *the works of the flesh are maL (est,

 tions, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 
 
 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, 
 at.d such like : of the which I tell you before, as I 
 have also told you in time past, that A thcy which do 
 Euch things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. 
 
 22 But 'the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, 
 long-suffering, k gentleness, 'goodness, "'faith, 
 
 23 Meekness, temperance* "against such there is 
 no law. 
 
 24 And they that are Christ's "have crucified the 
 flesh, with the || affections and lusts. 
 
 25 p If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in 
 the Spirit.

 the washing of water "by the word. 
 
 27 'That he might present it to himself a glorious 
 cnurch, c not having spot or wrinkle, or any such thing;

 28 So ought men to love their wives, as their own 
 bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 
 
 29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nour- 
 ished and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church : 
 
 30 For 'we are members of his body, of his flesh,

 31 -/"For this cause shall a man leave his father 
 and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and 
 they *two shall be one flesh. 
 
 32 This is a great mystery: but I speak con-

 33 Nevertheless, Met every one of you in par- 
 ticular so love his wife even as himself: and the 
 wife see that she ' reverence her husband.

PauTs readiness to suffer, &c 
 
 confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak 
 the word without fear. 
 
 15 Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and 
 "strife; and some also of good will. 
 
 16 The one preach Christ of contention, not sin- 
 cerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds : 
 
 1/ But the other of love, knowing that I am set 
 for ^the defence of the gospel. 
 
 18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, 
 whether in pretence or in truth, Christ is preached ; 
 and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice. 
 
 19 For I know that this shall turn to my salva- 
 tion y through your prayer, and the supply of "the 
 Spirit of Jesus Christ, 
 
 20 According to my " earnest expectation, and my 
 hope, that 'in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that 
 'with all boldness, as always, so now also, Christ 
 shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, 
 or by death. 
 
 21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 
 
 22 But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of 
 my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not. 
 
 23 For d I am in a strait betwixt two, having a 
 desire to 'depart, and to be with Christ; which is 
 far better: 
 
 24 Nevertheless, to abide in the flesh is more 
 needful for you. 
 
 25 And -^having this confidence, 1 know that I 
 shall abide and continue with you all for your fur- 
 therance and joy of faith; 
 
 26 That ? your rejoicing may be more abundant 
 in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again. 
 
 27 Only 'let your conversation be as it becometh 
 the gospel of Christ : that whether I come and see 
 you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, 
 '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 adversaries : 
 "which is to them an evident token of perdition, 
 "but to you of salvation, and that of God. 
 
 29 For unto you *it is given in the behalf of 
 Christ, 'not only to believe on him, but also to suffer 
 for his sake; 
 
 30 * Having the same conflict r which ye saw in 
 me, and now hear to be in me.

 9 Wherefore God also 'hath highly exalted him,

 bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, ami 
 things under the earth; 
 
 11 And 'Unit every tongue should confess 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 Balvatioc 
 with "fear and trembling. 
 
 13 For *'it is God which worketh in you bcth to 
 will and to do of his good pleasure. 
 
 14 Do all things y without murmurings and z di^-

 shine as lights in the world ; 
 
 16 Holding forth the word of life; that 'I may 
 rejoice in the day of Christ, that-^I have not run in 
 vain, neither laboured in vain. 
 
 17 Yea, and if e l be t offered upon the sacrifice 
 'and service of your faith, '1 joy, and rejoice with 
 you all. 
 
 18 For the same cause also do ye joj', and rejoice 
 with me. 
 
 19 || But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send * Timo- 
 theus shortly unto j^ou, that I also may be of good 
 comfort, when I know your state. 
 
 20 For I have no man ' || like-minded, who will 
 naturally care for your state. 
 
 21 For all m seek their own 
 are Jesus Christ's. 
 
 22 But ye know the proof of him, " that as a. son 
 with the father, he hath served with me in the 
 gospel. 
 
 23 Him therefore I hope to send presently, so 
 soon as I shall see how it will go with me 
 
 24 But "I trust in the Lord that I also myself 
 shall come shortly. 
 
 25 Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you 
 ; ' Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labour, 
 and 'fellow-soldier, r but your messenger, and 'he that 
 ministered to my wants. 
 
 26 'For he longed after you all, and was full of 
 heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had 
 been sick. 
 
 27 For indeed he was sick nign unto death: 
 God had mercy on him ; and not on him only 
 on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow. 
 
 28 I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, 
 when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that 1 
 may be the less sorrowful. 
 
 29 Receive him therefore in the Lord with all 
 gladness; and ||"hold such in reputation. 
 
 30 Because for the work of Christ he was nigh 
 unto death, not regarding his life, x to supply your 
 lack of service toward me.

 General exhortations 
 
 God in the Spirit, and e rejoice in Christ Jesus, and 
 have no confidence in the flesh. 
 
 4 Though "I might also have confidence in the 
 flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath 
 whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more: 
 
 5 'Circumcised the eighth day, *of the stock of 
 Israel, 'of the tribe of Benjamin, "an Hebrew of

 G "Concerning zeal, ''persecuting the church; 'touch- 
 ing the righteousness which is in the law, r blameless 
 
 But 'what things were

 to me, those I 
 
 count all things but loss 
 knowledge of Christ 
 I have suffered the 
 
 prize 
 
 of 
 
 counted loss for Christ 
 
 8 Yea, doubtless, and I 
 'for the excellency of the 
 Jesus my Lord : for whom 1 have 
 loss of all things, and do count them but dung, 
 that I imay win Christ, 
 
 9 And be found in him, not having "mine own 
 righteousness, which is of the law, but 'that which 
 is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness 
 which is of God by faith : 
 
 10 That I may know him, and the power of his 
 -esurrection, and y the fellowship of his sufferings, 
 being made conformable unto his death ; 
 
 11 If by any means I might "attain unto the 
 resurrection of the dead. 
 
 12 Not as though I had already "attained, either 
 were already 'perfect: but 1 follow after, if that I 
 may apprehend that for which also I am appre- 
 hended of Christ Jesus. 
 
 13 Brethren, I count not myself to have appre- 
 hended: but this one thing I do, 'forgetting those 
 things which are behind, and d reaching forth unto 
 those things which are before, 
 
 14 'I press toward the mark for the 
 f the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 
 
 15 Let us therefore, as many as be * perfect, *be 
 thus minded : and if in anything ye be otherwise 
 minded, God shall reveal even this unto you. 
 
 16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already at- 
 tained, 'let us walk *by the same rule, 'let us mind 
 the same thing. 
 
 17 Brethren, m be followers together of me, and 
 mark them which walk so as "ye have us for an 
 ensample. 
 
 18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you 
 often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are 
 ' the enemies of the cross of Christ : 
 
 19 p Whose end is destruction, "whose God is 
 their belly, and ' whose glory is in their shame, 'who 
 mind earthly things.) 
 
 20 For 'our conversation is in heaven; "from 
 whence also we ■'"look for the Saviour, the Lord 
 Jesus Christ: 
 
 21 y Who shall change our vile body, that it may 
 be fashioned like unto his glorious body, "according 
 to the working whereby he is able " even to subdue 
 ull things unto himself.

 whatsoever things are || honest, whatsoever things 
 are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever 
 things are lovely, 'whatsoever things are of good 
 report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any 
 praise, think on these things. 
 
 9 '"Those things which ye have both learned, 
 and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and 
 " the God of peace shall be with you. 
 
 10 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now

 have learned, in whatsoever state I am ''therewith 
 to be content.

 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 ""through Christ, which 
 strengtheneth me. 
 
 14 Notwithstanding, ye have well done that 'ye 
 did communicate with my affliction. 
 
 15 Now ye Philippians, know also, that in the 
 beginning of the gospel, when I departed from 
 Macedonia, 'no church communicated with me as 
 concerning giving and receiving, but ye only. 
 
 16 For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and 
 again unto my necessity. 
 
 17 Not because 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 'of Epaphroditus the things which 
 were sent from you, y an odour of a sweet smell, "a 
 sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God.

 16 Let no man therefore •'.judge you H*in meat, 
 or in drink, or || in respect *of an holy-da}', or of the 
 oew-nioon, or of the sabbath-Jays: 
 
 17 'Which are a shadow of things to come; but 
 the body is of Christ. 
 
 18 *Let no man || beguile you of your reward fin 
 a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, in- 
 truding into those things 'which he hath not seen, 
 vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, 
 
 19 And not holding m the Head, from which all 
 ihe body by joints and bands having nourishment 
 ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the 
 increase of God. 
 
 20 Wherefore, if ye be "dead with Christ from 
 •the || rudiments of the world, ^why as though living 
 in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, 
 
 21 ('Touch not; taste not; handle not; 
 
 22 Which all are to perish with the using;) r after 
 the commandments and doctrines of men ? 
 
 23 'Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom 
 in 'will-worship, and humility, and || neglecting of the 
 body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.

 I He exhorteth to be heavenly minded; 5 to mortify corrupt lusts, and all 
 malice; 12 to put on kindness, charity, §c. 18 Sundry other relative 
 duties. 
 
 IF ye then "be risen with Christ, seek those things 
 which are above, where 'Christ sitteth on the 
 right hand of God. 
 
 2 Set your || affection on things above, not on 
 things on the earth. 
 
 3 'For ye are dead, rf and your life is hid with 
 Christ in God. 
 
 4 'When Christ, who is -^our life, shall appear, then 
 shall ye also appear with him s 'm glory. 
 
 5 * Mortify therefore 'your members which are 
 upon the earth ; k fornication, uncleanness, inordinate 
 affection, 'evil concupiscence, and covetousness, 
 "which is idolatry : 
 
 6 "For which things' sake the wrath of God Com- 
 eth on "the children of disobedience : 
 
 7 ''In the which ye also walked some time, when 
 ye lived in them. 
 
 8 'But now ye also put off all these ; anger, 
 wrath, malice, blasphemy, r filthy communication out 
 of your mouth. 
 
 9 'Lie not one to another, 'seeing that ye have 
 put off the old man with his deeds ; 
 
 10 And have put on the new wmz, which "is renewed 
 in knowledge 'after the image of him that ^created him: 
 
 11 Where there is neither "Greek nor Jew, cir- 
 cumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, 
 bond nor free : "but Christ is all, and in all. 
 
 12 6 Put on therefore, c as the elect of God, holy 
 and beloved, d bowels of mercies, kindness, humble- 
 ness of mind, meekness, long-suffering ; 
 
 13 'Forbearing one another, and forgiving one 
 another, if any man have a || quarrel against any : 
 even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. 
 
 14 -/"And above all these things g put on charity, 
 which is the A boad of perfectness. 
 
 15 And let 'the peace of God rule in your hearts, 
 « to the which also ye are called 'in one body; m and 
 be ye thankful. 
 
 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in 
 ill wisdom ; teaching and admonishing one another 
 ° in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, singing 
 
 with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

 2 Paul ihewetk his remembrance of them in thanksgiving and prayer, 5 and 
 approveth their exemplary reception of the gospel. 
 
 PAUL, and "Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the 
 church of the Thessalonians which is in God 
 the Father, and in the Lord Jesus Christ : * Grace be 
 unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the 
 Lord Jesus Christ. 
 
 2 e We give thanks to God always for you all, 
 making mention of you in our prayers ; 
 
 3 d Remembering without ceasing 'your work of 
 faith, 'and labour of love, and patience of hope in our 
 Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; 
 
 4 Knowing, brethren || beloved, *your election of 
 God. 
 
 5 For h our gospel came not unto you in word only, 
 but also in power, and 'in the Holy Ghost, *and in 
 much assurance ; as ' ye know what manner of men 
 we were among you for your sake. 
 
 6 And m ye became followers of us, and of the 
 Lord, having received the word in much affliction, 
 ■ with joy of the Holy Ghost : 
 
 7 So that ye were ensamples to all that believe 
 in Macedonia and Achaia. 
 
 8 For from you "sounded out the word of the Lord 
 not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also p in every 
 place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad ; so 
 that we need not to speak any thing. 
 
 9 For they themselves shew of us 9 what manner 
 of entering in we had unto you, r and how ye turned 
 to God from idols, to serve the living and true God ; 
 
 10 And ' to wait for his Son 'from heaven, "whom 
 he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered 
 us ^from the wrath to come.

 . In what manner the gospel was preached unto them, and how they received 
 it; 17 he shewelh his desire of coming to them, ^c. 
 
 FOR "yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in 
 unto you, that it was not in vain : 
 
 2 But even after that we had suffered before, and 
 were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at 6 Philippi, 
 'we were bold in our God rf to speak unto you the 
 gospel of God 'with much contention. 
 
 3 'For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of 
 uncleanness, nor in guile ; 
 
 4 But as A 'we were allowed of God A to be put in 
 trust with the gospel, even so we speak ; ' not as 
 pleasing men, but God, * which trieth our hearts. 
 
 5 For 'neither at any time used we flattering 
 words, as ye know, nor a cloak of covetousness; 
 •"God is witness: 
 
 6 " Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, 
 nor yet of others, when " we might have || been p bur- 
 densome, f as the apostles of Christ. 
 
 7 But ''we were gentle among you, even as a 
 nurse cherisheth her children :

 8 So being affectionately desirous of you, wo 
 were willing 'to have imparted unto you, not the 
 gospel of God only, but also ' our own souls, because 
 ye were dear unto us. 
 
 9 For ye remember, brethren, our labour and 
 travail: for "labouring night and day, * because we 
 would not be chargeable unto any of you, v/e preached 
 unto you the gospel of God. 
 
 10 ,J Ye are witnesses, and God also, x l\o\v holily, 
 and justly, and unblameably we behaved ourselves 
 among you that believe : 
 
 11 As ye know how we exhorted, and comforted, 
 and charged every one of you, as a father doth his 
 children, 
 
 12 "That ye would walk worthy of God, *who 
 hath called you unto his kingdom and glory. 
 
 13 For this cause also thank we God 'without 
 ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God 
 which ye heard of us, ye received ifnotas the word 
 of men, but (as it is in truth) the word of God, which 
 effectually worketh also in you that believe. 
 
 14 For ye, brethren, became followers ' of the 
 churches of God which in Judea are in Christ Jesus 
 for 'ye also have suffered like things of your own 
 countrymen, ff even as they have of the Jews: 
 
 15 *Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and 'theiT 
 own prophets, and have || persecuted us ; and the} 
 please not God, *and are contrary to all men : 
 
 16 ' Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles thai 
 they might be saved, m to fill up their sins always : B for 
 the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost. 
 
 17 But we, brethren, being taken from you for a 
 short time "in presence, not in heart, endeavoured the 
 more abundantly ''to see your face with great desire. 
 
 18 Wherefore we would have come unto vou, 
 even I Paul, once and again; but 'Satan hindered us. 
 
 19 For r what is our hope, or joy, or 'crown of 
 II rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our 
 Lord Jesus Christ ' at his coming ? 
 
 20 For ye are our glory and joy. 
 
 CHAP. III. 
 
 1 Why Paul sent Timothy to them ; 6 his good report a consolation to Aii» 
 
 XITHEREFORE,"when we could no longer forbear, 
 1* * we thought it good to be left at AtKens alone ; 
 
 2 And sent 'Timotheus. our brother, and minister 
 of God, and our fellow-labourer in the gospel o. 
 Christ, to stablish you, and to comfort you concern- 
 ing your faith : 
 
 3 ''That no man should be moved b} these afflic- 
 tions: for yourselves know that 'we are appointed 
 thereunto. 
 
 4 'For verily, when we were with you, we I old 
 you before that we should suffer tribulation; even 
 as it came to pass, and ye know.

 5 For this cause, ''when I could no longer forbear, 
 I sent to know your faith, ''lest by some means the 
 tempter have tempted you, and 'our labour be in vain. 
 
 6 *But now. when Timotheus came from you unto 
 us, and brought us good tidings of your faith and cha- 
 rity, and that ye have good remembrance of us always, 
 desiring greatly to see us, 'as we also to see you: 
 
 7 Therefore, brethren, '"we were comforted over 
 yon in all our affliction and distress by your faith : 
 
 8 Kor now we live, if ye "stand fast in the Lord. 
 
 9 • For what thanks can we render to God again 
 for you, for all the joy wherewith we joy for your 
 sakcs before our God; 
 
 10 'Night and day 'praying exceedingly r that we 
 might see your face, 'and might perfect that which 
 is lacking in your faith ? 
 
 11 Now God himself and our Father, and our 
 Lord Jesus Christ, || 'direct our way unto you. 
 
 12 And the Lord "make you to increase and 
 abound in love *'one toward another, and toward all 
 men, even as we do toward you: 
 
 13 To the end he may ,J stablish your hearts unblame- 
 able in holiness before God, even our Father, at the 
 coming of our Lord Jesus Christ z with all his saints.

 I lie cxhort-.th to go on in godliness, 7 to holiness, 9 to love, 11 to quiet- 
 
 ness. 15 Tke saints' resurrection, and Christ's second coming. 
 
 URTHERMORE then we || beseech you, breth- 
 ren, and || exhort you by the Lord Jesus, "that 
 as ye have received of us 'how ye ought to walk c and 
 to please God, so ye would abound more and more. 
 
 2 For ye know what commandments we gave you 
 by the Lord Jesus. 
 
 3 For this is d the will of God, even 'your sanctifica- 
 tion, •'"that ye should abstain from fornication: 
 
 4 *That every one of you should know how to 
 possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; 
 
 5 ''Not in the lust of concupiscence, 'even as the 
 Gentiles * which know not God : 
 
 6 ' That no man go beyond and || defraud his brother 
 
 II in any matter: because that the Lord'"i's the avenger of 
 all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified. 
 
 7 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, 
 "but unto holiness. 
 
 8 ° He therefore that || despiseth, despiseth not man, 
 but God p who hath also given unto us his Holy Spirit. 
 
 9 But as touching brotherly love ? ye need not 
 that I write unto you: for r ye yourselves are taught 
 of God *to love one another. 
 
 10 'And indeed ye do it toward all the brethren 
 which are in all Macedonia: but we beseech you, 
 brethren, "that ye increase more and more; 
 
 11 And that ye study to be quiet, and x to do 
 your own business, and y to work with your own 
 hands, as we commanded you; 
 
 12 2 That ye may walk honestly toward them that 
 are without, and that ye may have lack || of nothing. 
 
 13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, 
 brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye 
 sorrow not, "even as others * which have no hope. 
 
 14 For c if we believe that Jesus died and rose 
 again, even so d them also which sleep in Jesus will 
 God bring with him. 
 
 15 For this we say unto you'by the word of the Lord, 
 r that we which are alive and remain unto the coming 
 of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 
 
 16 For * the Lord himself shall descend from heaven 
 with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with

 1 He shewelh that Christ's second coming will be sudden, and exhorteth U 
 watch ; he giveth divers precepts, §c. 
 
 BUT of "the times and the seasons, brethren, 'ye 
 have no need that I write unto you. 
 
 2 For yourselves know perfectly, that c the day 
 of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 
 
 3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then 
 rf sudden destruction cometh upon them, e as travail 
 upon 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 ^the children of light, and the children 
 of the day : we 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 Mhey that sleep, sleep in the night; and 
 they that be drunken, 'are drunken in the night. 
 
 8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, '"put- 
 ting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for 
 an helmet, the hope of salvation. 
 
 9 For "God hath not appointed us to wrath, "bui 
 to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, 
 
 10 y, Who died for us, that, whether we wake 01 
 sleep, we should live together with him. 
 
 • 1 1 ? Wherefore || comfort yourselves together, and 
 edify one another, even as also ye do. 
 
 12 And we beseech you, brethren, 'to know them 
 which labour among you, and are over you in the 
 Lord, and admonish you; 
 
 13 And to esteem them very highly in love for their 
 work's sake. 'And be at peace among yourselves. 
 
 14 Now we || exhort you, brethren, 'warn them 
 that are || unruly, "comfort the feeble-minded, * sup- 
 port the weak, ^be patient toward all men. 
 
 15 *See that none render evil for evil unto any 
 man; but ever "follow that which is good, both among 
 yourselves, and to all men. 
 
 16 'Rejoice evermore. 
 
 17 c Pray without ceasing. 
 
 18 ''In every thing give thanks: for this is the 
 will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 
 
 19 e Quench not the Spirit. 
 
 20 ^Despise not prophesyings. 
 
 21*' Prove all things ; * hold fast that which is good 
 
 22 'Abstain from all appearance of evil. 
 
 23 And *the very God of peace 'sanctify you 
 wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit, and 
 soul, and body, '"be preserved blameless unto the 
 coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 
 
 24 " Faithful is he that calleth you,who also will do it.

Second Epistle of PAUL, the Apostle, to the MESSALONIANS. 
 
 CHAP. I. 
 
 1 PauVs good opinion of their faith, love, and patience ; G Of God's punishing 
 their enemies, and recompensing their sufferings. 
 
 PAUL, "and Silvanus, and Tirnotheus, unto the 
 church of the Thessalonians 4 iu God our Father 
 and the Lord Jesus Christ: 
 
 2 'Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Fa- 
 ther and the Lord Jesus Christ. 
 
 3 d We are bound to thank God always for you, 
 brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith 
 groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one 
 of you all toward each other aboundeth ; 
 
 4 So that 'we ourselves glory in you in the churches 
 of God, -^for your patience and faith A 'in all your 
 persecutions and tribulations that ye endure: 
 
 5 Which is *a manifest token of the righteous 
 judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy 
 of the kingdom of God, 'for which ye also sutler: 
 
 6 * Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to 
 recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; 
 
 7 And to you, who are troubled, 'rest with us, 
 when m the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven 
 with f his mighty angels, 
 
 8 " In flaming fire || taking vengeance on them 
 that know not God, and 'that obey not the gospel 
 
 of our Lord Jesus Christ : 
 
 9 ? Who shall be punished with everlasting des- 
 truction from the presence of the Lord and 'from 
 the glory of his power; 
 
 10 ' When he shall come to be glorified m his saints, 
 
 and to be admired in all them that believe (because 
 
 our testimony among you was believed) in that day. 
 
 11 Wherefore also we pray always for you, that 
 our God would || "count you worthy of this calling, 
 and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, 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, accoi'ding to the 
 grace of our God, and the Lord Jesus Christ. 
 
 CHAP. II. 
 
 . He willelh them to continue steadfast in the truth received ; 3 sheweth that 
 there shall be a departure from the faith, 8 and a discovery of antichrist, ice. 
 
 NOW we beseech you, brethren, "by the coming 
 of our Lord Jesus Christ, 'and by our gathering 
 together unto him, 
 
 2 'That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be 
 troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by let- 
 ter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 
 
 3 J Let no man deceive you by any means : for 
 that day shall not come, 'except there come a falling 
 away first, and •'"that man of sin be revealed, *the 
 son of perdition; 
 
 4 Who opposeth and * exalte th himself 'above all 
 that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he, 
 as God, sitteth in the temple of God, shewing him- 
 self that he is God. 
 
 5 Remember ye not, that when I was yet with 
 you, I told you these things? 
 
 6 And now ye know what || withholdeth that he 
 might be revealed in his time. 
 
 7 For Hhe mystery of iniquity doth already 
 work : only he who now letteth will let, until he be 
 taken out of the way. 
 
 H And theu shall that Wicked be revealed, 'whom

 tion, 'through sanctification of the Spirit, and belief 
 of the truth :

 1 He craveth their prayers ; 3 he testifielh his confidence in them, praying uoa

 T^INALLY, brethren, "pray for us, that the wont 
 -T of the Lord fmay have free course, and be 
 glorified, even as it is with you ; 
 
 2 And ''that we may be delivered from f unreason 
 able and wicked men: 'for all men have not faith.

 4 And Ave have confidence in the Lord touching 
 you, that ye both do and will do the things which 
 we command you. 
 
 5 And s the Lord direct your hearts into the love 
 of God, and || into the patient waiting for Christ. 
 
 6 Now we command you, brethren, in the name 
 of our Lord Jesus Christ, ''that ye withdraw your- 
 selves 'from every brother that walketh * disorderly, 
 and not after 'the tradition which he received of us. 
 
 7 For yourselves know "• how ye ought to follow us : 
 for " we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you; 
 
 8 Neither did we eat any man's bread for nought ; 
 but "wrought with labour and travail night and day, 
 that we might not be chargeable to any of you: 
 
 9 ''Not because we have not power, but to make 
 * ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us. 
 
 10 For even when we were with you, this we 
 commanded you, r that if any would not work, nei- 
 ther should he eat. 
 
 11 For we hear that there are some 'which walk 
 among } r ou disorderly, 'working not at all, but are 
 busy bodies. 
 
 12 "Now them that are such we command and 
 exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, 'that with quiet- 
 ness they work, and eat their own bread.

 The First Epistle of PAUL, the Apostle, to TIMOTHY. 
 
 CHAP. I. 
 
 8 Paul remindeth Timothy of his charge. 5 The end of the commandment 
 is charity. ... 8 The scope of the law was to condemn wickedness, which is 
 also the design of the gospel. 
 
 PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ "by the com- 
 mandment 'of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus 
 Christ, 'which is our hope; 
 
 2 Unto ''Timothy, e my own son in the faith; 
 'Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and 
 Jesus Christ our Lord. 
 
 3 As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, 
 'when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest 
 charge some Hhat they teach no other doctrine, 
 
 4 'Neither give heed to fables and endless geneal- 
 ogies, * which minister questions, rather than godly 
 edifying which is in faith ; 50 do. 
 
 5 Now ' the end of the commandment is charity 
 "out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and 
 of faith unfeigned : 
 
 G From which some || having swerved, have turned 
 aside unto "vain jangling; 
 
 7 Desiring to be teachers of the law; "understand- 
 ing 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 for sinners, for unholy and pro- 
 fane, for murderers of fathers, and murderers of 
 mothers, for manslayers, 
 
 10 For whoremongers, for them that defile them- 
 selves with mankind, for men-stealers, for liars, for 
 perjured persons, and if there be any other thing 
 that is contrary r to sound doctrine, 
 
 11 According to the glorious gospel of 'the blessed 
 God 'which was committed to my trust. 
 
 12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, "who 
 hath enabled me, * for that he counted me faithful, 
 "putting me into the ministry; 
 
 13 z Who was before a blasphemer, and a perse- 
 cutor, and injurious : but I obtained mercy, because 
 ' T did it ignorantly in unbelief: 
 
 14 'And the grace of our Lord was exceeding 
 abundant c with faith ''and love which is in Christ J esus. 
 
 15 'This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all 
 acceptation, that •'"Christ Jesus came into the world 
 to save sinners ; of whom I am chief. 
 
 16 Howbeit, for this cause S I obtained mercy, 
 that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all 
 long-suffering, 'for a pattern to them which should 
 hereafter believe on him to life everlasting. 
 
 17 Now unto 'the King eternal, * immortal, 'in- 
 visible, '"the only wise God, "be honour and glory 
 for ever and ever. Amen.

 ought to be attired, §c. 
 
 Ill EXHORT therefore, that, first of all, supplica- 
 tions, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks 
 be made for all men : 
 
 2 "For kings, and b for all that are in || authority; 
 that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in ah 
 godliness and honesty. 
 
 3 For this is c good and acceptable in the sight 
 d of God our Saviour; 
 
 4 'Who will have all men to be saved, * and to 
 come unto the knowledge of the truth. 
 
 5 *For there is one God, and 'one mediator be- 
 tween God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 
 
 6 ' Who gave himself a ransom for all, * || to be 
 testified 'in due time. 
 
 7 m Whereunto I am ordained a preacher and an. 
 apostle, ("I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not,) 
 "a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity. 
 
 8 I will therefore that men pray p every where, 
 'lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. 
 
 9 In like manner also, that r women adorn them- 
 selves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and 
 sobriety; not with || broidered hair, or gold, 01 
 pearls, or costly array, 
 
 10 'But (which become th women professing god- 
 liness) with good works. 
 
 11 Let the woman 'earn in silence with all sub- 
 jection. 
 
 12 But 'I suffer not a woman to teach, "nor to 
 usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 
 
 lb For 'Adam was fiist formed, then Eve. 
 
 14 And y Adam was not deceived, but the woman 
 being deceived was in the transgression. 
 
 15 Notwithstanding, she shall be saved in child- 
 bearing, if they continue in faith, and charity, and 
 holiness, with sobriety. 
 
 CHAP. III. 
 
 1 How bishops and deacons, a nd their wives, should be qualified ; 14 ana 
 to what end St. Paul wrote to Timothy of these things 16 The im- 
 portant truths of the Christian revelation. 
 
 THIS "is a true saying, If a man desirp \he office 
 of a 'bishop, he desireth a good '^ofk. 
 2 d A bishop then must be blameless, 'the hus- 
 band of one wife, vigilant, sober, || of good behaviour, 
 given to hosoitality. •'"apt 10 teach; 
 
Uwcrs precepts to Timcihy. 
 
 "6 * i! Not given to wine, * no striker, ' not greedy of 
 filthy lucre ; but * patient ; not a brawler, not covetous ; 
 
 4 One that ruleth well his own house, ' having 
 his children in subjection with all gravity; 
 
 5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own 
 house, how shall he take care of the church of God ?) 
 
 6 Not || a novice, lest being lifted up with pride 
 "he fall into the condemnation of the devil. 
 
 7 Moreover, he must have a good report "of 
 them which are without ; lest he fall into reproach 
 •and the snare of the devil. 
 
 8 Likewise must 'the deacons be grave, not 
 double-tongued, 'not given to much wine, not 
 greedy of filthy lucre; 
 
 9 r Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure 
 conscience. 
 
 10 And let these also first be proved; then let 
 them use the office of a deacon, being found blame- 
 less. 
 
 11 'Even so must their wives be grave, not slan- 
 derers, sober, faithful in all things. 
 
 12 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, 
 ruling their children and their own houses well. 
 
 13 For 'they that have || used the office of a dea- 
 con well, purchase to themselves a good degree, and 
 great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus. 
 
 14 These things write I unto thee, hoping to 
 come unto thee shortly : 
 
 15 But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know 
 how thou oughtest to behave thyself "in the house 
 of God, which is the church of the living God, 
 oillar and || ground of the truth. 
 
 16 And without controversy, great is the mys- 
 tery of godliness: *God was f manifest in the flesh, 
 "justified in the Spirit, *seeu of angels, "preached 
 unto the Gentiles, 6 believed on 
 ceived up into glory.

 I He foretellelh and describeth a great apostacy. 6 Directions to Timothy. 
 
 ■\TOW the Spirit a speaketh expressly, that 4 in the 
 -i- ^ latter times some shall depart from the faith, giv- 
 ing heed c to seducing spirits, ''and doctrines of devils ; 
 !' ' Speaking lies in hypocrisy, -/'having their 
 conscience seared with a hot iron; 
 
 3 s Forbidding to marry, h and commanding to ab- 
 stain from meats, which God hath created 'to be 
 received * with thanksgiving of them which believe 
 and know the truth. 
 
 4 For ''every creature of God is good, and nothing 
 to be refused, if it be leceived with thanksgiving: 
 
 5 For itis sanctified by the word of God,and prayer. 
 
 6 If thou put the brethren in remembrance of 
 these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus 
 Christ, "nourished up in the words of faith and 
 of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained. 
 
 7 But " refuse profane and old wives' fables, and 
 •exercise thyself rather unto godliness. 
 
 8 For * bodily exercise profiteth I! little: '' but godli- 
 ness is profitable unto all things, 'having promise of 
 the life that now is, and of that which is to come. 
 
 9 'This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all 
 acceptation. 
 
 10 For therefore 'we both labour and suffer re- 
 proach, because we "trust in the living God r who is the 
 daviour of all men, especially of those that believe.

 1 Rules to be observed in reprouing. 3 Of widows and elders. 23 A 
 precept for Timothy's health. 
 
 EBUKE "not an elder, but entreat him a? a 
 father ; and the younger men as brethren ; 
 
 2 The elder women as mothers ; the younger as 
 sisters, with all purity. 
 
 3 Honour widows'* that are widows indeed. 
 
 4 But if any widow have children or nephews, 
 let them learn first to shew H piety at home, and 'to 
 requite their parents; rf for that is good and accept- 
 able before God. 
 
 5 'Now she that is a widow indeed, and deso- 
 late, trusteth in God, and 'continueth in supplica- 
 tions and prayers ? night and day. 
 
 6 ''But she that liveth || in pleasure, is 
 while she liveth. 
 
 7 'And these things give in charge, that 
 may be blameless. 
 
 8 But if any provide not for his own, 
 especially for those of his own || house, ' he 
 denied the faith, m and is worse than an infidel. 
 
 9 Let not a widow be || taken into the number under 
 threescore years old,"having been the wife of one man, 
 
 10 Well reported of for good works; if she have 
 brought up children, if she have "lodged strangers, 
 if she have 'washed the saints' feet, if she have 
 relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed 
 every good work. 
 
 11 But the younger widows refuse: for when 
 they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, 
 they will marry; 
 
 12 Having damnation, because they have cast 
 off their first faith. 
 
 13 'And withal they learn tobe idle, wandering about 
 from house to house; and not only idle,but tattlers also, 
 and busy bodies,speaking thingswhich they ought not 
 
 14 'I will therefore that the younger women 
 marry, bear children, guide the house, 'give none 
 occasion to the adversary f to speak reproachfully. 
 
 15 For some are already turned aside after Satan. 
 1G If any man or woman that believeth have 
 
 widows, let them relieve them, and let not tha 
 church be charged; that it may relieve 'them that 
 are widows indeed. 
 
 17 "Let the elders that rule well, 'be counted 
 worth}' of double honour, especially they who 
 labour in the word and doctrine. 
 
 18 For the scripture saith, "Thou shalt not muz- 
 zle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, r The 
 labourer is worth}' of his reward. 
 
 19 Against an elder receive not an accusation, 
 but || a before two or three witnesses.

 nothing by partiality. 
 
 22 'Lay hands suddenly on no man, -''neither be 
 partaker of other men's sins : keep thyself pure. 
 
 23 Drink no longer water, but use a little wine 
 • for thy stomach's sake, and thine often infirmities. 
 
 24 A Some men's sins are open beforehand, going

 1 The duty of servants. 3 To avoid corrupt teachers. 6 The gain of 
 
 godliness. 
 
 LET as many " servants as are under the yoke count 
 their own masters worthy of all honour, that the 
 name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed. 
 
 2 And they that have believing masters, let them 
 not despise them, ""because they are brethren; but 
 rather do them service, because they are || faithful 
 and beloved, partakers of the benefit. ''These things 
 teach and exhort. 
 
 3 If any man 'teach otherwise, and consent ^not 
 to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord 
 Jesus Christ, *and to the doctrine which is accord- 
 ing to godliness, 
 
 4 He is || proud, h knowing nothing, but || doting 
 about 'questions and strifes of words, whereof com- 
 eth envy, strife, railings, evil turmisings, 
 
 5 * || Perverse disputings of ' men of corrupt minds, 
 and destitute of the truth, "supposing that gain is 
 godliness: "from such withdraw thyself. 
 
 6 But "godliness with contentment is great gain. 
 
 7 For p we brought nothing into this world, and it 
 is certain we can carry nothing out. 
 
 8 And 'having food and raiment, let us be there-

 remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day ; 
 
 4 s Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of

 CHAP. II. 
 
 I Timothy exhorted to constancy and perseverance, 15 and to shew himself 
 
 approved. 
 
 T^HOTJ therefore, "my son, 6 be strong in the grace 
 that is in Christ Jesus. 
 
 2 c And the things that thou hast heard of me 
 
 II among many witnesses, ''the same commit thou to 
 faithful men, who shall be 'able to teach others .also. 
 
 3 ^Thou therefore endure hardness, f as a good 
 soldier of Jesus Christ. 
 
 4 A No man that warreth entangleth himself with 
 the affairs of this life; that he may please him who 
 hath chosen him to be a soldier. 
 
 5 And 'if a man also strive for masteries,^ is 
 he not crowned, except he strive lawfully. 
 
 6 * || The husbandman that laboureth must be first 
 partaker of the fruits. 
 
 7 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee 
 understanding in all things. 
 
 8 Remember that Jesus Christ, ' of the seed of Da- 
 vM, m was raised from the dead, "according to my gospel : 
 
 9 ° Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil-doer, ; ' even 
 unto bonds; 'but the word of God is not bound. 
 
 10 Therefore r I endure all things for the elect's 
 sates, * that they may also obtain the salvation which 
 is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. 
 
 11 'It is a faithful saying: For "if wt be dead 
 with him, we shall also live with him: 
 
 12 'If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: y if 
 we deny him, he also will deny us : 
 
 • 13 s If we believe not, ^ ho abideth faithful : "he 
 cannot deny himself. 
 
 14 Of these things put them in remembrance, 
 charging them before the Lord c that they strive not 
 
 about words to no profit, but to the subverting of 
 I he hearers. 
 
 15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a 
 workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly 
 dividing the word of truth. 
 
 16 But rf shun profane and vain babblings : for they 
 will increase unto more ungodliness. 
 
 17 And their word will eat as doth a I! canker: 
 of whom is 'Hymeneus and Philetus; 
 
 . 18 Who •''concerning the truth have erred, g say- 
 ing that the resurrection is past already ; and over- 
 throw the faith of some. 
 
 19 Nevertheless Hhe foundation of God standeth 
 [| sure, having this seal, The Lord 'knoweth them that 
 are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name 
 of Christ depart from iniquity. 
 
 20 *But in a great house there are not only vessels 
 ■)f gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth ;

 THIS know also, that "in the last days perilous 
 times shall come.

 'covetous, boasters,' proud/ blasphemers/disobedient 
 to parents, unthankful, unholy, 
 
 3 A Without natural affection, 'truce-breakers, || false

 are good, 
 
 4 'Traitors, heady, high-minded, '" lovers of plea- 
 sures more than lovers of God ; 
 
 5 Having a form of godliness, but "denying the 
 power thereof: "from such turn away. 
 
 6 For ''of this sort are they wnich creep inru 
 houses, and lead captive silly women laden with 
 sins, led away with divers lusts; 
 
 7 Ever learning and never able *to come to the 
 knowledge of the truth. 
 
 8 r Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, 
 so do these also resist the truth: 'men of corrupt 
 minds, '|| reprobate concerning the faith. 
 
 9 But they shall proceed no further : for their folly 
 shall be manifest unto all men, "as theirs also v T( ts.

 1)AUL, "a prisoner of uesus Christ, and Timothy 
 our brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, 
 and fellow-labourer, 
 
 2 And to our beloved Apphia, and 'Archippus 
 'our fellow-soldier, and to 'the church in thy house: 
 
 3 f Grace to you, and peace, from God our Fa- 
 ther and the Lord Jesus Christ. 
 
 4 *I thank my God, making mention of thee 
 always in my prayers, 
 
 5 * Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou 
 nast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints ; 
 
 6 That the communication of thy faith may 
 become effectual 'by the acknowledging of every 
 good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. 
 
 7 For we have great joy and consolation in thy 
 love, because the bowels of the saints *are refreshed 
 by thee, brother. 
 
 8 Wherefore, ' though I might be much bold in 
 Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient, 
 
 9 Yot for love's sake I rather beseech thee, 
 oeing such an one as Paul the aged, m and now also 
 a prisoner of Jesus Christ. 
 
 10 I beseech thee for my son "Onesimus, 'whom 
 I have begotten in m}' bonds : 
 
 11 Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, 
 but now profitable to thee and to me : 
 
 12 Whom I have sent again: thou therefore 
 receive him, that is, mine own bowels :

 14 But without thy mind would I do nothing; 
 'that thy benefit should not be as it were of neces- 
 sity, but willingly. 
 
 15 r For perhaps he therefore departed for t% 
 season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever; 
 
 16 Not now as a servant, but above a servant, 'a

 more unto thee, 'both in the flesh, and in the Lord?

 ceive him as myself.

 aught, put that on mine account;

 I will repay it: albeit I do not say to thee how

 Lord: 'refresh my bowels in the Lord.

The Epistle of PAUL, the Apostle, to the HEBREWS. 
 
 CHAP. I. 
 
 1 77 t essential dignity of the Son, by whom God hath revealed himself in 
 these last days . -1 his pre-eminence above the angels in office. 
 
 GOD, who at sundry times and "in divers man- 
 ners snake in time past unto the fathers by the 
 prophets, 
 
 2 Hath *in these last days 'spoken unto us by his 
 Son, rf whom he hath appointed heir of all things, 
 'by whom also he made the worlds; 
 
 3 -^Who being the brightness of his glory, and the 
 express image of his person, and # upholding all 
 things by the word of his power, "when he had by 
 himself purged our sins, 'sat down on the right hand 
 of the Majesty on high; 
 
 4 Being made so much better than the angels, as 
 
 * he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent 
 name than they. 
 
 5 For unto which of the angels said he at any 
 time, ' Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten 
 thee ? And again, m I will be to him a Father, and 
 lie shall be to me a Son ? 
 
 6 || And again, when he bringeth in " the first- 
 begotten into the world, he saith, "And let all the 
 angels of God worship him. 
 
 7 And f of the angels he saith, p Who maketh his 
 angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. 
 
 8 But unto the Son, he saith, ? Thy throne, God, 
 is for ever and ever: a sceptre of f righteousness is 
 the sceptre of thy kingdom; 
 
 9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated ini- 
 quity; therefore God, even thy God, r hath anointed 
 thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. 
 
 10 And, 'Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast 
 the foundation of the earth; and the heavens 
 the works of thine hands. 
 
 11 'They shall perish; but thou remainest: 
 they all shall wax old as doth a garment; 
 
 12 And as a vesture shalt thou fold them 
 and they shall be changed : but thou art the same, 
 and thy years shall not fail. 
 
 13 But to which of the angels said he at any time, 
 
 * Sit on my right hand, until 1 make thine enemies 
 thy footstool? 
 
 14 * Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth 
 to minister for them who shall be y heirs of salvation ? 
 
 CHAP. II. 
 
 I Oar obligation to give earnest heed to the gospel. 5 The dominion of the 
 world not granted to angels, but to the Son, #c. 
 
 H^HEREFORE we ought to give the more earnest 
 -L heed to the things which we have heard, lest at 
 any time we should -f let them slip. 
 
 2 For if the word "spoken by angels was stead- 
 fast, and 'every transgression and disobedience re- 
 ceived a just recompense of reward; 
 
 3 c How shall we escape, if we neglect so great 
 salvation; ''which at the first began ..a be spoken by 
 the Lord, and was ' confirmed unto us by them that 
 heard him; 
 
 4 /God also bearing them witness, *both with signs 
 and wonders, and with divers miracles, and || '' gifts 
 of the Holy Ghost, 'according to his own will? 
 
 5 For unto the angels hath he not put in subjec- 
 tion Hhe world to come whereof we speak.

 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the 
 
 Bon of man, that thou visitest him ?

 7 Thou madest him || a little lower than the an- 
 gels; thou crownedst 1 im with glory and honour, 
 and didst set him over the works of thy hands: 
 
 8 "'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 suffering of death, ''crowned 
 with glory and honour; that he by the grace of Gud 
 should taste death "for every man. 
 
 10 'For it became him, 'for whom are all things, 
 and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons 
 unto glorv, to make 'the Captain of their salvation 
 "perfect through sufferings. 
 
 11 For ^both he that sanctifieth, and they who 
 are sanctified, y are all of one: for which cause s he 
 is not ashamed to call them brethren, 
 
 12 Saying, °I will declare thy name unto my 
 brethren, in the midst of the church will I sin<r 
 praise unto thee. 
 
 13 And again, b \ will put my trust in him. And 
 again, 'Behold, I, and the children d which God hath 
 given me. 
 
 14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers 
 of flesh and blood, he 'also himself likewise took part 
 of the same; f that through death he might destroy 
 him that had the power of death, that is, the devil ; 
 
 15 And deliver them, who/ through fear of death, 
 were all their life-time subject to bondage. 
 
 16 For verily fhe took not on him the nature of 
 angels ; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. 
 
 17 Wherefore in all things it behooved him Ho bo 
 made like unto his brethren; that he might be 'a mer- 
 ciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to 
 God, to make reconciliation for the sins oi the people. 
 
 18 *For in that he himself hath suffered, being 
 tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. 
 
 CHAP. III. 
 
 1 Christ is shewed to be more worthy than Moses : 7 therefore we must be care- 
 ful not to follow the example of the obstinate and unbelieving Israelites, §e. • 
 
 WHEREFORE, holy brethren, partakers of "the 
 heavenly calling, consider Hhe Apostle and 
 High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; 
 
 2 Who was faithful to him that f appointed him, 
 as also c Moses was faithful in all his house. 
 
 3 For this man was counted worthy of more glory 
 than Moses, inasmuch as ''he who hath builded the 
 house, hath more honour than the house. 
 
 4 For every house is builded by some man; but 
 'he that built all things is God. 
 
 5 J And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, 
 as * a servant, ''for a testimony of those things which 
 were to be spoken after : 
 
 6 But Christ as 'a Son over his own house: 
 * whose house are we, 'if we hold fast the confidence, 
 and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end. 
 
 7 Wherefore, as '"the Holy Ghost saith, "To-day 
 if ye will hear his voice, 
 
 8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, 
 in the day of temptation in the wilderness: 
 
 9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and 
 saw &-y works forty years.

 .10 Wherefore 1 was grieved with that generation, 
 and said, They do always err in their heart; and 
 they have not known my ways. 
 
 11 So I aware in my wrath, f 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 hardened through the 
 deceitfulness of sin. 
 
 14 For we are made partakers of Christ, "if we 
 hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast unto 
 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 some, when they had heard, did provoke : 
 howbeit, not all that came out of Egypt by Moses. 
 
 17 But with whom was he grieved forty years? 
 was it not with them that had sinned, 'whose car- 
 casses fell in the wilderness? 
 
 18 And 'to whom sware he that they should not 
 enter into his rest, but to them that believed not? 
 
 19 ' So we see that they could not enter in be- 
 cause of unbelief. 
 
 CHAP. IV. 
 
 1 The Christian's rest to be attained by faith. 12 The power of God's 
 
 word, fyc. 
 
 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 unto us was the gospel preached as well as 
 unto them : but fthe word preached did not profit them, 
 H not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. 
 
 3 * For we which have believed do enter into rest, 
 as he said, c As I have sworn in my wrath, if they 
 shall enter into my rest ; although the works were 
 finished from the foundation of the world. 
 
 4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh 
 day on this wise, d And God did rest the seventh 
 day from all his works. 
 
 5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into 
 my rest. 
 
 6 Seeing, therefore it remaineth that some must 
 enter therein, 'and they to whom || it was first 
 preached entered not in because of unbelief: 
 
 7 (Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in Da- 
 vid, To-day, after so long a time; as it is said, -^To- 
 day, if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts. 
 
 8 For if || Jesus had given them rest, then would 
 he not afterward have spoken of another day. 
 
 9 There remaineth therefore a || rest to the peo- 
 ple of God. 
 
 10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath 
 ceased from his own works, as God did from his.) 
 
 11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, 
 lest any man fall e after the same example of || unbelief. 
 
 12 For the word of God is A quick, and powerful, 
 and 'sharper than any k two-edged sword, piercing 
 even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and 
 cf the joints and marrow, and is 'a discerner of the 
 thoughts and intents of the heart. 
 
 13 '"Neither is there any cr-eature that is not mani- 
 fest in his sight : but all things are naked " and opened 
 unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. 
 
 14 Seeing then that we have °a great High Priest, 
 that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of 
 
 God, 7 let us hold fast our profession.

 compared, and its privileges set forth. 
 
 I^OR every high priest taken from among men, "is 
 ordained for men *in things pertaimng to God, 
 c that he may offer both gifts and .sacrifice.-, for sins; 
 
 2 ''Who || can have com passion on the ignorant, 
 and on them that are out of the way; for that r he 
 himself also is compassed with infirmity. 
 
 3 And •''by reason hereof he ought, as for the 
 people, so also for himself, to offer for sins. 
 
 4 *And no man taketh this honour unto himself, 
 but he that is called of God, as h was Aaron : 
 
 5 'So also Christ glorified not himself to be made 
 an high priest; but lie that said unto him, A Thou 
 art my Son, to-day have I begotten thee. 
 
 6 As he saith also in another place, 'Thou ail a 
 priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. 
 
 7 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had 
 m offered up prayers and supplications "with strong 
 crying and tears unto him "that was able to savo 
 him from death, and was heard pin that he feared; 
 
 8 'Though he were a Son, yet learned he "obedi- 
 ence by the things which he suffered ; 
 
 9 And 'being made perfect, he became the author 
 of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; 
 
 10 Called of God an high priest ' after the ordei 
 of Melchisedec. 
 
 11 Of whom "we have many things to say. and 
 hard to be uttered, seeing ye are 'dull of hearing. 
 
 12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, 
 ye have need that one teach you again which be y tlie 
 first principles of the oracles of God ; and are become 
 such as ha.ve need of ^milkjand not of strong meat. 
 
 13 For every one that useth milk, \is unskilful 
 in the word of righteousness: for he is "a babe. 
 
 14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are 
 II of full age, even those who by reason || of use have 
 their senses exercised *to discern both good and evil.

 eometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet 
 for them || by whom it is dressed, "receiveth blessing 
 fiom God: 
 
 8 'But that which beareth thorns and briers is 
 rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose 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 r God is not unrighteous to forget 'your 
 work and labour of love, which ye have shewed 
 toward his name, in that ye have 'ministered to the 
 saints, and do minister. 
 
 11 And we desire that "every one of you do shew 
 the same diligence *to the full assurance of hope 
 unto the end: 
 
 12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them 
 who through faith and patience ^inherit the promises. 
 
 13 For when God made promise to Abraham, be- 
 cause he could swear by no greater, z he sware by 
 himself, 
 
 14 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and 
 multiplying I will multiply thee. 
 
 15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he 
 obtained the promise. 
 
 16 For men verily swear by the greater: and "an 
 oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife. 
 
 17 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to 
 shew unto Hhe heirs of promise 'the immutability 
 of his counsel, f confirmed 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 rf set before us : 
 
 19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, 
 ooth sure and steadfast, e and which entereth into 
 that within the vail ; 
 
 20 -^Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even 
 uesus, *made an high priest for ever after the order 
 of Melchisedec. 
 
 CHAP. VII. 
 
 I Christ, a priest after the order of Melchisedec, 11 i? proved to be far more 
 excellent than the priests of Aaron's order. 
 
 I^OR 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; first being by interpretation King of righteous- 
 ness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, 
 King of peace; 
 
 8 Without father, without mother, f without de- 
 scent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of 
 life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth 
 a priest continually. 
 
 4 Now consider how great this man was, *unto 
 whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of 
 the spoils. 
 
 5 And verily c they that are of the sons of Levi, 
 wno receive the office of the priesthood, have a com- 
 mandment to take tithes of the people according to 
 the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come 
 oat of the loins of Abraham : 
 
 6 But he whose || descent is not counted from 
 them received tithes of Abraham, ''and blessed f him 
 that had the promises. 
 
 7 And without all contradiction the less is blessed 
 of the, better. 
 
 8 And here men that die receive tithes; but there he

 Christ's priesthood above Aaron s 
 
 recciveth them, • of whom it is witnessed that he livclh. 
 
 9 And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth 
 tithes, paj'ed tithes in Abraham. 
 
 10 For he was yet in the loins of his father, 
 when Melchisedec met him. 
 
 11 *lf therefore perfection were by the Levitical 
 priesthood, (for under it the people received the 
 law',) what further need was there that another priest 
 should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not 
 be called after the order of Aaron? 
 
 12 For the priesthood being changed, there i» 
 made of necessity a change also of the law. 
 
 13 For he of whom these things are spoken per- 
 taineth to another tribe, of which no man gave at- 
 tendance at the altar. 
 
 14 For it is evident that A our Lord sprang out of 
 Juda ; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concern- 
 ing priesthood. 
 
 15 And it is yet far more evident : for that after the 
 similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest, 
 
 16 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal com- 
 mandment, but after the power of an endless life. 
 
 17 For he testifieth, 'Thou art a priest for ever 
 after the order of Melchisedec. 
 
 18 For there is verily a disannulling of the com- 
 mandment going befor?, for *the weakness and un- 
 profitableness thereof. 
 
 19 For 'the law made nothing perfect, || but the 
 bringing in of m a better hope did; by the which we 
 " draw nigh unto God. 
 
 20 And inasmuch as not without an oath he was 
 made priest : 
 
 21 (For those priests were made || without an 
 oath ; but this with an oath, by him that said unto 
 him, "The Lord sware, and will not repent, Thou art 
 a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec .) 
 
 22 By so much p was Jesus made a surety of a 
 better testament. 
 
 23 And they truly were man}^ priests, because they 
 were not suffered to continue by reason of death \ 
 
 24 But this man, because he continueth ever, hath 
 II an unchangeable priesthood. 
 
 25 Wherefore he is able also to save them || to the 
 uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he 
 ever liveth 9 to make intercession for them. 
 
 26 For such an high priest became us, T who is 
 holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, 'and 
 made higher than the heavens; 
 
 27 Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, 
 to offer up sacrifice, 'first for his own sins, "and then 
 for the people's : for Hhis he did once, when he of- 
 fered up himself. 
 
 28 For the law maketh y men high priests which 
 have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which 
 was since the law, maketh the Son, x who is f conse- 
 crated for evermore.

 IVTOW of the things which we have spoken this is 
 -L"l the sum : We have such an high priest, "who 
 is set on the right hand of the throne of the Ma- 
 jesty in the heavens ; 
 
 2 A minister || of A the sanctuary, and of c the true 
 tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man. 
 
 3 For d every high priest is ordained to offer gifts 
 and sacrifices : wherefore 'it is of necessity that this 
 man have somewhat also to offer.

 4 For if he were on earth, he should not he 
 priest, seeing that |j there are priests that offer gifts 
 according to the law : 
 
 5 Who serve unto the example and Ashadow of 
 heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God 
 when he was about to make the tabernacle: 'for, See 
 (saith he) that thou make all things according to the 
 pattern shewed to thee in the mount. 
 
 6 But now *hath he obtained a more excellent 
 ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a 
 better || covenant, which was established upon better 
 promises. 
 
 7 'For if that first covenant had been faultless, then 
 should no place have been sought for the second. 
 
 8 For finding fault with them, he saith, * 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 that I made with 
 their fathers, in the day when I took them by the 
 hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because 
 they continued 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 f put my laws into their mind, and write them 
 
 II in their hearts : and m I will be to them a God, and 
 they shall be to me a people : 
 
 11 And " they shall not teach every man his neigh- 
 bour, and every man 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 unrighteousness, 
 •and their sins and their iniquities will I remember 
 no more. 
 
 13 p In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made 
 the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth 
 old, is ready to vanish away. 
 
 CHAP. IX. 
 
 1 By the imperfection of the legal sacrifices, 11 he shewelh the efficacy of 
 the blood of Christ. 16 The necessity of Christ's death. 
 
 THEN verily the first covenant had also || ordi- 
 nances of divine service, and "a worldly sanctuary. 
 
 2 *For there was a tabernacle made; the first 
 wherein was d the candlestick, and 'the table, and 
 
 the'shew-bread; which is called || the sanctuary. 
 
 3 f And after the second vail, the tabernacle which 
 is called the Holiest of all ; 
 
 4 Which had the golden censer, and* the ark of 
 the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein 
 was Hhe golden pot that had manna, and 'Aaron's 
 rod that budded, and Hhe tables of the covenant; 
 
 5 And ' over it the cherubims of glory shadowing 
 the mercy-seat ; of which we cannot now speak par- 
 ticularly. 
 
 6 Now when these things were thus ordained, ™ x , 
 "the priests went always into the first tabernacle, 
 accomplisbing the service of God: 
 
 ■7 But into the second went the high priest alone 
 once every year, not without blood, " which he offered 
 for himself, and for the errors of the people : 
 
 8 ^The Holy Ghost this signifying, that 'the way 
 into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, 
 while as the first tabernacle was yet standing : 
 
 9 Which was a figure for the time then present, 
 in which were ottered both gifts and sacrifices, r that 
 could not make him that did the service perfect, as 
 pertaining to the conscience ;

 Hie efficacy of the blood of (Jfiri.u 
 
 10 Which stood only in 'meats and drinks, ado 
 'divers washings, "and carnal || ordinances, imj,<, 
 
 on fheni until trie time of reformation. 
 
 11 But Christ being come 'an high priest 'of good 
 
 things to come, *by a greater and more perfect tab- 
 ernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, no' <>\ 
 tin's building; 
 
 12 Neither "by the blood of goats and calves, bu' 
 *by his own blood, he entered in 'once into the holy 
 place, rf having obtained eternal redemption for 
 
 13 For if 'the blood of bulls and of goats, and 
 •Mhe ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sane 
 tifieth to the purifying of the flesh : 
 
 14 How much more * shall the blood of Christ. 
 A \vho through the eternal Spirit 'offered himself 
 without || spot to God, * purge your conscience from 
 'dead works m to serve the living God ? 
 
 15 "And for this cause 'he is the mediator of the 
 new testament, ''that by means of death, for the re- 
 demption of the transgressions that were under the 
 first testament, 'they which are called might receive 
 the promise of eternal inheritance. 
 
 16 For where a testament is, there must also of 
 necessity || be the death of the testator. 
 
 17 For r a testament is of force after men are 
 dead : otherwise it is of no strength at all while the 
 testator liveth. 
 
 18 'Whereupon neither the first testament was 
 || dedicated without blood. 
 
 19 For when Moses had spoken every precept iv 
 all the people according to the law, 'he took the 
 blood of calves and of goats, "with water and || scar- 
 let wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book 
 and all the people, 
 
 20 Saying, *This is the blood of the testament 
 which God hath enjoined unto you. 
 
 21 Moreover, y he sprinkled with blood both the 
 tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry. 
 
 22 And almost all things are by the law purged 
 with blood; and x without shedding of blood is no 
 remission. 
 
 23 It was therefore necessary that "the patterns 
 of things in the heavens should be purified with 
 these; but the heavenly things themselves with 
 better sacrifices than these. 
 
 24 For * Christ is not entered into the holy places 
 made with hands, which are the figures of c the true; 
 but into heaven itself, now d to appear in the pre- 
 sence of God for us : 
 
 25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as 
 'the high priest entereth into the holy place every 
 year with blood of others; 
 
 26 For then must he often have suffered since 
 the foundation of the world : but now -'once 'in the 
 end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin 
 by the sacrifice of himself. 
 
 27 A And as it is appointed unto men once to die, 
 '"but after this the judgment : 
 
 28 So * Christ was once ' offered to bear the sins m (if 
 many; and unto them that "look for him shall ho 
 appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

 1 The law-sacrifices ineffectual to take away sins. 10 By the nferina nf 
 Christ's body once we obtain perfect remission, $c.

 . come, and not the very image of the things, 'can 
 never with those sacrifices which they offered } enr

Of the law-sacrifices. 
 
 by year continually, make the comers thereunto 
 * perfect. 
 
 2 For then || would they not have ceased to be of- 
 fered? because that the worshippers once purged 
 should have had no more conscience of sins. 
 
 3 'But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance 
 again made of sins every year. 
 
 4 For f it is not possible that the blood of bulls and 
 of goats should take away sins. 
 
 Wherefore, when he cometh into the world, he 
 saith, * Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but 
 a body || hast thou prepared me : 
 
 6 In burnt-offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast 
 had no pleasure. 
 
 7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the 
 book it is written of me) to do thy will, God. 
 
 8 Above, when he said, Sacrifice and offering and 
 burnt-offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, 
 neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by 
 the law; 
 
 9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, God. 
 He taketh away the first, that he may establish the 
 second. 
 
 10 A By the which will we are sanctified 'through 
 the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 
 
 11 And every priest standeth * daily ministering 
 and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, 'which 
 can never take away sins : 
 
 12 " But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice 
 for sins, for ever sat down on the right hand of God ; 
 
 13 F) om henceforth expecting " till his enemies be 
 made his footstool. 
 
 14 For by one offering 'he hath perfected forever 
 them that are sanctified. 
 
 15 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to 
 us: for after that he had said before, 
 
 16 ''This is the covenant that I will make with 
 them aftor those days, saith the Lord; I will put my 
 laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write 
 them; 
 
 17 f Add their sins and iniquities will I remember 
 no more. 
 
 18 Now where remission of these is, there is no 
 more offering for sin. 
 
 19 Having therefore, brethren, 9 1| boldness to enter 
 r into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, 
 
 20 By T a new and living way, which he hath || con- 
 secrated for us, 'through the. vail, that is to say, his 
 flesh; 
 
 21 And having "an high priest over r the house of 
 God , 
 
 22 y 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 c Let us hold fast the profession of our faith 
 without wavering; for ''he is faithful that promised: 
 
 24 And let us consider one another, to provoke 
 unto love, and to good works: 
 
 25 e Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves 
 together, as the manner of some is ; but exhorting 
 one another; and -/"so much the more, as ye see f the 
 day approaching. 
 
 26 lor "if we sin wilfully l after that we have re- 
 ceived the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth 
 no more sacrifice for sins, 
 
 27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and 
 'fieiy indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

 An exhortation to stc.atlfasl faith 
 
 28 'He that despised Moses' law, died withou 
 mercy "'under two or three witnesses: 
 
 29 "Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye 
 shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden undei 
 foot the Son of God, and "hath counted the blood of the 
 covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy 
 thing/and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace ? 
 
 30 For we know him that hath said, "Vengeance 
 belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord 
 And again, 'The Lord shall 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 
 fight of afflictions; 
 
 33 Partly, while ye were made y a gazing-stock 
 both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, while 
 x ye became companions of them that were so used. 
 
 34 For ye had compassion of me "in my bonds, 
 and Hook joyfully the spoiling of your goods, know- 
 ing || in yourselves that c ye have in heaven a better 
 and an enduring substance. 
 
 35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, 
 ''which hath great recompense of reward. 
 
 36 e For ye have need of patience, that, after y* 
 have done the will of God, f ye might receive the 
 promise. 
 
 37 For *yet a little while, and A he that shall come 
 will come, and will not tarry. 
 
 38 Now ' the just shall live by faith : but if any man 
 draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. 
 
 39 But we are not of them *who draw back unto 
 perdition; but of them that 'believe to the saving of 
 the soul. 
 
 CHAP. XI. 
 
 1 The nature of faith. 6 Without fakh we cannot please God: the fruit. 
 
 of faith. 
 
 IVTOW faith is the || substance of things hoped for, 
 ±y the evidence "of things not seen: 
 
 2 For 'by it 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 were not made of things which do appear. 
 
 4 By faith rf Abel offered unto God a more excel- 
 lent sacrifice than Cain, b}' which he obtained witness 
 that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts ; and 
 by it he being dead c || yet speaketh. 
 
 5 By faith J Enoch was translated, that he should 
 not see death ; and was not found, because God had 
 translated him: for before his translation he had 
 this testimony, that he pleased God. 
 
 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him : 
 for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and 
 that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. 
 
 7 By faith ? Noah, being warned of God of things 
 not seen as yet, || moved with fear, ''prepared an ark to 
 the saving of his house; by the which he condemned 
 the Avorld, and became heir of 'the righteousness 
 which is by faith. 
 
 8 By faith *Abraham, when he was called to go 
 out into a place which he should after 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 tabernacles with Isaao 
 and Jacob, '" the heirs with him of the same promise : 
 
 10 For he looked for a "city which hath founjn 
 tions, "whose builder and maker is God. 
 
The fruits of faith. 
 
 11 Through faith also ''Sara herself received 
 strength to conceive seed, and ? was delivered of a 
 child when she was past age, because she judged 
 him r faithful who had promised. 
 
 12 Therefore sprang there even of one, and 'him 
 as good as dead, 'so many as the stars of the sky in 
 multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea-shore 
 innumerable. 
 
 13 These all died fin faith, "not having received 
 the promises, but * having seen them afar off, and were 
 persuaded of them, and embraced them,ax\d y confessed 
 that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. 
 
 14 For they that say such things * declare plainly 
 that they seek a country. 
 
 15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that 
 country from whence they came out, they might have 
 had opportunity to have returned. 
 
 16 But now they desire a better country, that is, 
 an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed "to be 
 called their God : for * he hath prepared for them a city. 
 
 17 By faith "Abraham, when he was tried, offered 
 up Isaac: and he that had received the promises 
 " offered up his only-begotten son, 
 
 18 || Of whom it was said, "That in Isaac shall thy 
 seed be called: 
 
 19 Accounting that God f ivas able to raise him 
 np, even from the dead; from whence also he re- 
 ceived him in a figure. 
 
 20 By faith s Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau con- 
 cerning things to come. 
 
 21 By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, A blessed 
 both the sons of Joseph; and 'worshipped, leaning 
 upon the top of his staff. 
 
 22 By faith * Joseph, when he died, || made mention 
 of the departing of the children of Israel ; and gave 
 commandment concerning his bones. 
 
 23 By faith 'Moses, when he was born, was hid 
 three months of his parents, because they saw he was 
 a proper child ; and they were not afraid of the king's 
 "commandment. 
 
 24 By faith n 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 Hhe reproach || of Christ greater 
 riches than the treasures in Egypt : for he had respect 
 unto ''the recompense of 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 the 
 sprinkling of olood, lest he that destroyed the first- 
 born should touch them. 
 
 29 By faith • they passed through the Red sea as 
 bv dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do 
 w*./e drowned. 
 
 30 By faith ■"the walls of Jericho fell down, after 
 they were compassed about seven days. 
 
 31 By faith y the harlot Rahab perished not with 
 them || that believed not, when *she had received

 1 An exhortation to patience and constancy ; 14 to follow peace and holinett 
 2r> The duni/er of refuting the urord. 
 
 WHEREFORE, seeing we also are compassed 
 about with so great a cloud of witnesses, ° let 
 us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth 
 so easily beset us, and Met us run c with patience the 
 race that is set before us, 
 
 2 Looking unto Jesus the || author and finisher 
 of our faith; d who, for the joy that was set befora 
 him, endured the cross, despising the shame, and 'is 
 set down at the right hand of the throne of God. 
 
 3 •'For consider him that endured such contra- 
 diction of sinners against himself, *lest ye be wearied 
 and faint in your minds. 
 
 4 A Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving 
 against sin. 
 
 5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which 
 speaketh unto you as unto children, 'My son, despisb 
 not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when 
 thou art rebuked of him: 
 
 6 For *whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, ami 
 scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. 
 
 7 ''It' ye endure chastening, God dealethwith you 
 as with sons: for what son is he whom the father 
 chasteneth not? 
 
 8 But if ye be without, chastisement. m whereof all 
 are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. 
 
 9 Furthermore, we have had fathers of our flesh 
 which corrected us, and we gave ihem reverem-e 
 shall we not much rather be in subjection unto " the 
 Father of spirits, and live? 
 
 10 For they verily for a few days chastened us 
 llafter their own pleasure; but he for our profit, 'that 
 we might be partakers of his holiness. 
 
 11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to 
 be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless, afterward it 
 yieldeth ''the peaceable fruit of righteousness untc 
 them which are exercised thereby. 
 
 12 Wherefore 'lift up the hands which hang down, 
 and the feeble knees ; 
 
 13 r And make || straight paths for your feet, lest 
 that which is lame be turned out of the way; 'but 
 let it rather be healed. 
 
 14 'Follow peace with all men. and holiness. " wit fl- 
 out which no man shall see the Lord : 
 
 15 'Looking diligentlv. "lest any man |) fail of ibi

 grace of God; *lest any root of bitterness springing 
 up, trouble you, and thereby manj r be defiled; 
 
 16 "Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, 
 as Esau/who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. 
 
 17 For ye know how that afterward, c when he 
 would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected : 
 'for he found no || place of repentance, though he 
 sought it carefully with tears. 
 
 18 For ye are not come unto the 'mount that 
 might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor 
 unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest, 
 
 19 And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of 
 words ; which voice they that heard, f entreated that 
 the word should not be spoken to them any more : 
 
 20 (For they could not endure that which was com- 
 manded, *And if so much as a beast touch the moun- 
 tain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart: 
 
 21 ''And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, 
 1 exceedingly fear and quake :) 
 
 22 But ye are come 'unto mount Sion, *and unto 
 the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, 
 'and to an innumerable company of angels, 
 
 23 To the general assembly and church of m the 
 first-born, "which are || written in heaven, and to God 
 •the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men 
 'made perfect, 
 
 24 And to Jesus 'the Mediator of the new || cove- 
 nant, and to r the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh 
 better things 'than that of Abel. 
 
 25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For 
 'if they escaped not who refused him that spake on 
 earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn 
 away from him that speaketh from heaven : 
 
 26 "Whose voice then shook the earth: but now 
 he hath promised, saying, •''Yet once more I shake 
 not the earth only, but also heaven. 
 
 27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth y the 
 removing of those things that || are shaken, as of 
 things that are made, that those things which can- 
 not be shaken may remain. 
 
 28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which can- 
 not be moved, || let us have grace, whereby we may 
 serve God acceptably, with reverence and godly fear ; 
 
 29 For -our God is a consuming fire.

 and s be content with such things as ye have: for ho 
 hath said, e I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. 
 
 6 So that we may boldly say, ''The Lord is my help- 
 er, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. 
 
 7 'Remember them which ||have the rule over vou, 
 who have spoken unto you the word of God : k whose 
 faith follow, considering the end of their conversation : 
 
 8 Jesus Christ 'the same yesterday, and to-day, 
 and for ever. 
 
 9 ro Be not carried about with divers and strange 
 doctrines : for it is a good thing that the heart be 
 established with grace ; " not with meats, which have 
 not profited them that have been occupied therein. 
 
 10 "We have an altar, whereof they have no right 
 to eat which serve the tabernacle. 
 
 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 with his own blood, 'suffered without the gate. 
 
 13 Let us go forth therefore unto him without 
 the camp, bearing "his reproach. 
 
 14 'For here have we no continuing city, but we 
 seek one to come. 
 
 15 'By him therefore let us offer "the sacrifice of 
 praise to God continually, that is, * the fruit of our 
 lips, f giving thanks to his name. 
 
 16 y But to do good, and to communicate, forget 
 not: for z with such sacrifices God is well pleased. 
 
 17 "Obey them that || have the rule over you, and 
 submit yourselves : for * they watch for your souls, as 
 they that must give account, that they may do it with 
 joy, and not with grief : for that is unprofitable for you. 
 
 18 'Pray for us: for we trust we have d a good 
 conscience, in all things willing to live honestly. 
 
 19 But I beseech you 'the rather to do this, that 
 I may be restored to you the sooner. 
 
 20 Now^theGod of peace, ^that brought again from 
 the dead our Lord Jesus, ''that great Shepherd of the 
 sheep, 'through the blood of the everlasting ||covenant, 
 
 21 *Make you perfect in every good work, to do 
 his will, ||' working in you that which is well-pleas- 
 ing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; m to whom be 
 glory for ever and ever. Amen. 
 
 22 And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word 
 of exhortation: for "I have written a letter unto 
 you in few words. 
 
 23 Know ye, that "our brother Timothy ^is set at 
 liberty ; with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you. 
 
 24 Salute all them 'that have the rule over you, 
 and all the saints. They of Jtaly salute you.

 ne 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 of the Lord. 
 
 8 m A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways. 
 
 9 Let the brother of low degree || rejoice in that 
 he is exalted : 
 
 10 But the rich, in that he is made low: because 
 "as the flowei of the grass he shall pass away. 
 
 11 For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning 
 heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof 
 falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth : 
 no also shall the rich man fade away in his ways. 
 
 12 "Blessed is the man that endureth temptation : 
 for when he is tried, he shall receive ''the crown of life, 
 " which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. 
 
 13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am 
 tempted of God : for God cannot be tempted with 
 li evil, neither tempteth he any man : 
 
 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn 
 away of his own lust, and enticed. 
 
 lo Then, r when lust hath conceived, it bringeth 
 forth sin ; and sin, when it is finished, 'bringeth forth 
 death. 
 
 16 Do not err, my beloved brethren. 
 
 17 ' Every good gift and every perfect gift is from 
 above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, 
 "with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of 
 turning. 
 
 18 *Of his own will begat he us with the word of 
 truth, Hhat we should be a kind of ~ first-fruits of 
 his creatures. 
 
 19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, "let every 
 man be swift to hear, 'slow to speak, 'slow to wrath : 
 
 '■*0 For the wrath of man worketh not the right- 
 eousness of God. 
 
 21 Wherefore d lay apart all filthiness, and super- 
 fluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the 
 mgrafted word, 'which is able to save your souls. 
 
 22 But-Z'be ye doers of the word, and not hearers 
 only, deceiving your own selves. 
 
 23 For*" if any be a hearer of the word, and not 
 a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural 
 face in a glass . 
 
 24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and 
 straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 
 
 25 But * whose looketh into the perfect 'law of 
 liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a for- 
 getful hearer, but s- doer of the work, * this man shall 
 be blessed in his || deed. 
 
 26 If any man among you seem to be religious, 
 and ' bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own 
 heart, this man's religion is vain. 
 
 27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and 
 the Father is this, '"To visit the fatherless and widows 
 in their affliction, '-and to keep himself unspotted 
 from the world.

 4 Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are 
 become judges of evil thoughts? 
 
 5 Hearken, my beloved brethren, 'Hath not Ood 
 chosen the poor of this world ''rich in faith, and heirs 
 of ||the kingdom 'which he hath promised to them 
 that love him? 
 
 G But Sye have despised the poor. Do not rich 
 men oppress you,*' and draw you before the judg-

 7 Do not they blaspheme that worthy name uy 
 the which ye are called? 
 
 8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scrij>- 
 ture, ''Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye 
 do well : 
 
 9 But 'if ye have respect to persons, ye commit 
 sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. 
 
 10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law. and 
 yet offend in one point, *he is guilty of all. 
 
 11 For || he that said, 'Do not commit adultery,

 18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I

 'and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 
 
 19 Thou believest that there is one God ; thou 
 doest well: 'the devils also believe, and tremble. 
 
 20 But wilt thou know, vain man, that faith 
 without works is dead? 
 
 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, 
 "when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?

 and by works was faith made perfect? 
 
 23 And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, 
 y Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him 
 for righteousness: and he was called *the Friend of God. 
 
 24 Ye see then how that by works a man is jus- 
 tified, and not by faith only. 
 
 25 Likewise also "was not Rahab the harlot jus- 
 tified by works, when she had received the mes- 
 sengers, and had sent them out another way? 
 
 26 For as the body without the || spirit is dead, so 
 faith without works is dead also.

Of governing the tongue. 
 
 offend not in word, 'the same is a perfect man;, and 
 able also to bridle the whole body. 
 
 3 Behold, f we put bits in the horses' mouths, that 
 they may obey us ; and we turn about their whole body. 
 
 4 Behold also the ships, which, though they he 
 so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are 
 they turned about with a very small helm, whither- 
 soever the governor listeth. 
 
 5 Even so Hhe tongue is a little member, and 
 k boasteth great things. Behold, how great || a mat- 
 ter a little lire kindleth ! 
 
 6 And 'the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: 
 so is the tongue among our members, that *it defil- 
 leth the whole body, and setteth on fire the f course 
 of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. 
 
 7 For every fkind of beasts, and of birds, and 
 of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and 
 hath been tamed, of f mankind : 
 
 8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an un- 
 ruly evil, 'full of deadly poison. 
 
 9 Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and 
 therewith curse we men, m which are made after the 
 similitude of God. 
 
 10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and 
 cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. 
 
 11 Doth a fountain send forth at the same || place 
 sweet tvatcr and bitter? 
 
 12 Can the fig-tree, my brethren, bear olive-ber- 
 ries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both 
 yield salt water and fresh. 
 
 13 " Who is a wise man and endued with know- 
 ledge among you ? let him shew out of a good con- 
 versation * his works p with meekness of wisdom. 
 
 14 But if ye have, 'bitter envying and strife in 
 your hearts, r glory not, and lie not against the truth. 
 
 15 'This wisdom descendeth not from above, but 
 is earthly, || sensual, devilish. 
 
 16 For 'where envying and strife is, there is 
 f confusion and every evil work. 
 
 17 But "the wisdom that is from above is first 
 pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreat- 
 ed, full of mercy and good fruits, || without par- 
 tiality, ■ r and without hypocrisy. 
 
 18 s'And the fruit of righteousness is sown in 
 peace of them that make peace.

 laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to 
 heaviness. 
 
 10 ^ Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, 
 and he shall lift you up. 
 
 11 q Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He 
 that speaketh evil of his brother, r and judgeth his 
 brother, speaketh evil of 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 another? 
 
 13 "Go to now, ye that say, To-day or to-morrow 
 we will go into such a city, and continue there a

 morrow. For what is your life? II* It is even & 
 vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then 
 vanisheth away. 
 
 15 For that ye ought to say, ''If the Lord will, 
 we shall live, and do this, or that. 
 
 16 But now ye rejoice in your boastings: *all 
 such rejoicing is evil.

 2 Your riches are corrupted, and A your garments 
 are moth-eaten. 
 
 3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust

 eat your flesh as it were fire. c Ye have heaped

 4 Behold, d the hire of the labourers who have

 12 But above all things, my brethren, r swear not, 
 neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by 
 any other oath: but let your yea, be vea; and your 
 nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.

 Is any merry? '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 shall save the sick, 
 and the Lord shall raise him up; "and if he have 
 lommitted sins, they shall be forgiven him. 
 
 16 Confess i/our faults one to another, and pray one 
 for another, that ye may be healed. *The effectual 
 fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

 CHAP. I 
 
 1 The apostle's address ; 3 He blesseth God for their hope of a blessed 
 immortality : 10 salvatvn in Christ foretold by the prophets of old, S[C. 
 
 PETER, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the 
 strangers "scattered throughout Pontus, Gala- 
 tia, Cappadocia. Asia, and Bithjmia, 
 
 2 'Elect 'according to the foreknowledge of God 
 the Father, rf through sanctification of the Spirit, unto 
 obedience and 'sprinkling of the blood of Jesus 
 Christ: ■'"Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied. 
 
 3 s Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord 
 Jesus Christ, which, ''according to his f abundant 
 mercy, 'hath begotten us again unto a lively hope 
 * b} r the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 
 
 4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, 
 and thatfadeth not away /"reserved in heaven Hforyou, 
 
 5 "Who are kept by the power of God through faith 
 unto salvation, ready to be revealed in the last time. 
 
 6 "Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now •''for a 
 season (if need be) ! ye are in heaviness through 
 manifold temptations: 
 
 7 That ''the trial of your faith, being much more 
 precious than of gold that perisheth, though 'it be 
 tried with fire, 'might be found unto praise, and hon- 
 our, and glory, at the appearing of Jesus Christ : 
 
 8 "Whom having not seen, ye love; x in whom, 
 though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye re- 
 joice with joy unspeakable, and full of glory : 
 
 9 Receiving Hhe end of your faith, even the 
 salvation of your souls. 
 
 10 *Of which salvation the prophets have in- 
 quired and searched diligently, who prophesied of 
 the grace that should come unto you: 
 
 11 Searching what, or what manner of time, "the 
 Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, 
 wnen it testified beforehand Hhe sufferings of 
 Christ, and the glory that should follow. 
 
 12 c Unto whom it was revealed,that rf not unto them- 
 selves, but unto us they did minister the things which 
 are now reported unto you by them that have preached 
 thegospelunto you, with thellolyGhostsentdownfrom 
 heaven ; f which things the angels desire to look into. 
 
 13 Wherefore 'gird up the loins of your mind, ''be 
 sober, and hope f to the end for the grace that is to be 
 brought unto you 'at the revelation of Jesus Christ : 
 
 14 As obedient children,*not fashioning yourselves 
 according to the former lusts ' in your ignorance : 
 
 15 m But as he which hath called you is holy, so 
 be ye hoLy in all manner of conversation; 
 
 16 Because it is written,"Be ye holy; for I am holy. 
 
 17 And if ye call on the Father, "who without 
 respect of persons judgeth according to every man's 
 work, ''pass the time of your 'sojourning here in fear:

 against the soul ; 
 
 12 ° Having your conversation honest among the 
 Gentiles : that, || whereas they speak against you as 
 evil-doers, c they may by your good works, which they 
 shall behold, glorify God ''in the day of visitation. 
 
 13 c Submityourselves to every ordinance of man for 
 the Lord's sake : whether it be to the king,as supreme ; 
 
 14 Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent 
 by him ■''for the punishment of evil-doers, and ff for 
 the praise of them that do well. 
 
 15 For so is the will of God, that Svith well-doing 
 ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men : 
 
 16 'As free, and not fusing your liberty for a 
 cloak of maliciousness, but as *the servants of God. 
 
 17 'II Honour all men. m Love the brotherhood. 
 ■ 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 fro ward. 
 
 19 For this is || p thank-worthy, if a man for con- 
 science toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. 
 
 20 For «what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted 
 for your faults, ye shall take it patiently ? but if, 
 when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it pa- 
 tiently, this is || acceptable with God. 
 
 21 For r even hereunto were ye called: because 
 'Christ also suffered || for us, 'leaving us an ex- 
 ample, that ye should follow his steps : 
 
 22 "Who did no sin. neither was guile found in 
 his mouth: 
 
 23 x Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again ; 
 when he suffered, he threatened not; but y || com- 
 mitted himself to him that judgeth righteously : 
 
 24 *Who his own self bare our sins in his own body 
 l| on the tree, "that we, being dead to sins, should live 
 unto righteousness : * by whose stripes ye were healed. 
 
 25 For c ye were as sheep goingastray; butare now 
 returned ''unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls. 
 
 CHAP. III. 
 
 1 He teacheth the duty of wives and husbands, 8 exhorting all men to unity 
 and love, 14 and to suffer boldly for righteousness' sake. 
 
 LIKEWISE, "ye wives, be in subjection to your 
 own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, 
 they also may without the word c be won by the 
 conversation of the wives; 
 
 2 ''While they behold your chaste conversation 
 coupled with fear. 
 
 3 c Whose adorning let it not be that outward 
 adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, 
 or of putting on of apparel; 
 
 4 But let it be •''the hidden man of the heart, in that 
 which is no t corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and 
 quiet spirit,which is in the sight of God of great price. 
 
 5 For after this manner in the old time the holy 
 women also, who trusted in God, adorned them- 
 selves, being in subjection unto their own husbands: 
 
 6 Even as Sarah obeyed Abraham, g calling him 
 lord: whose f daughters ye are, as long as ye do 
 well, and are not afraid with any amazement.

 The duty oj wives and husbands, 
 
 7 * Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them accord- 
 ing to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, 'ay 
 unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of 
 the grace of life ; *that your prayers be not hindered 
 
 8 Finally, 'be ye all of one mind, having com pas 
 sion one of another; m |jlove as brethren, "be pitiful 
 be courteous: 
 
 9 "Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for rail- 
 ing: but contrariwise, blessing; knowing that ye are 
 thereunto called, ''that ye should inherit a blessing 
 
 10 For ? he that will love life, and see good days, 
 r let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips 
 that they speak no guile : 
 
 11 Let him 'eschew evil and do good: 'let him 
 seek peace, and ensue it. 
 
 12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the right- 
 eous, "and his ears are open urto their prayers: but 
 the face of the Lord is f a g JU * iS t them that do evil. 
 
 13 "And who is he that will harm you, if ye be 
 followers of that which is good? 
 
 14 y But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, 
 happy are ye; and *be not afraid of their terror, 
 neither be troubled ; 
 
 15 But sanctify the Lord God m your hearts: 
 and "be ready always to give an answer to ever} 
 man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is 
 in you, with meekness and || fear. 
 
 16 'Having a good conscience; 'that whereas, 
 they speak evil of you, as of evil-doers, they may be 
 ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation 
 in Christ. 
 
 17 For it is better, if the will of God be so, that 
 ye suffer for well-doing, than for evil-doing. 
 
 18 For Christ also hath rf once suffered for sins, the 
 just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, 'being 
 put to death 'in the flesh,but g quickened by the Spirit : 
 
 19 By which also he went and h preached untc 
 the spirits 'in prison; 
 
 20 Which sometime were disobedient, *when once 
 the long-suffering of God waited in the days of 
 Noah, while 'the ark was a preparing, "wherein few, 
 that is, eight souls, were saved by water. 
 
 21 "The like figure whereunto, even baptism, doth 
 also now save us, (not the putting away of "the filtl 
 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 authorities, and powers 
 being made subject unto him.

 6 For, for this cause *was the gospel preached 
 also to them that are dead, that they might be 
 judged according to men in the flesh, but live 
 cording to God in the spirit. 
 
 7 But 'the end of all things is at hand: m be 
 therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. 
 
 8 "And above all things have fervent charity 
 among yourselves : for "charity || shall cover the mul-

 11 "If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles 
 of God; *if any man minister, let him do it as of the 
 ability which God giveth : that y God in all things 
 may be glorified through Jesus Christ; *to whom 
 be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. 
 
 12 Beloved, think it not strange, concerning "the 
 fiery trial which is to try you, as 
 strange thing happened unto you; 
 
 13 'But rejoice, inasmuch as c ye are partakers of 
 Christ's sufferings; rf that, when his glory shall be 
 revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. 
 
 14 'If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, 
 happy are ye; for the Spirit of glory and of God 
 resteth upon you. •/'On their part he is evil spoken 
 of, but on your part he is glorified. 
 
 15 But s let none of you suffer as a murderer, or 
 as a thief, or as an evil-doer, A or as a busybody in 
 other men's matters. 
 
 16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not 
 be ashamed; 'but let him glorify God on this behalf. 
 
 17 For the time is come ft that judgment must begin at 
 the house of God: and 'if it first begin at us, "'what shall 
 the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God ? 
 
 18 "And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where 
 shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? 
 
 19 Wherefore, let them that suffer according to 
 the will of God, "commit the keeping of their souls 
 to him in well-doing, as unto a faithful Creator.

 THE elders which are among you 1 exhort, who 
 am also "an elder, and *a witness of the suffer- 
 ings of Christ, and also r a partaker of the glory that 
 shall be revealed : 
 
 2 d Feed the flock of God || which is among you, 
 taking the oversight thereof, 'not by constraint, bat 
 willingly ; -/"not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; 
 
 3 Neither as \\ f being lords over* God's heritage, 
 but 'being ensamnles to the flock. 
 
 4 And when *the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye 
 shall receive 'a crown of glory "that fadeth not away. 
 
 5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves nnto 
 the elder. Yea, "all of you be subject one to another, 
 and be clothed with humility: for "God resisteth the 
 proud, and p giveth grace to the humble. 
 
 6 'Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty 
 hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time :

 8 'Be sober, be vigilant; because 'your adversary 
 the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking

 brethren that are in the world.

 have suffered *a while, "make } r ou perfect, *stablish,

 fables, when we made known unto you tne power

 witnesses of his majesty. 
 
 17 For he received from God the Father honour 
 and glory, when there came such a voice to him 
 from the excellent glory, "This is my beloved Son, 
 in whom I am well pleased. 
 
 18 And this voice wbich came from heaven we 
 heard, when we were with him in 6 the holy mount. 
 
 19 We have also a more sure woi'd of prophecy ; 
 whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto 'a 
 light that shineth in a dark place, until the day 
 dawn, and d the day-star arise in your hearts: 
 
 20 Knowing this first, that 'no prophecy of the 
 scripture is of any private interpretation. 
 
 21 For •''the prophecy came not Hin'old time by 
 the will of man: *but holy men of God spake as 
 they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

 He foretelleth them of false teachers, shewing the impiety and punishment of 
 them and their followers, $c. 
 
 BUT "there were false prophets also among the 
 people, even as 'there shall be false teachers 
 among you, who privily shall bring in damnable 
 heresies, even 'denying the Lord ''that bought them, 
 'and bring upon themselves swift destruction. 
 
 2 And many shall follow their || pernicious ways; by 
 reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 
 
 3 And / through covetousness shall they with 
 feigned words *make merchandise of you: ''whose 
 judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and 
 their damnation slumbereth not. 
 
 4 For if God spared not 'the angels *that sinned, 
 but 'oast them down to hell, and delivered them into 
 chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment ; 
 
 5 And spared not the old world, but saved m Noah 
 the eighth person, " a preacher of righteousness, " bring- 
 ing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly ; 
 
 6 And ^turning the cities of Sodom and Gomor- 
 rah into ashes, condemned them with an overthrow, 
 r making them an ensample unto those that after 
 should live ungodly ; 
 
 7 And r delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy 
 conversation of the wicked : 
 
 8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, 
 in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul 
 
 from day to day with their unlawful deeds ; 
 
 9 "The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly 
 out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto 
 the day of judgment to be punished : 
 
 10 But chiefly 'them that walk after the flesh in 
 the lust of uncleanness, and despise || government. 
 y Presumptuous are they, self-willed; they are not 
 afraid to speak evil of dignities. 
 
 11 Whereas z angels, which are greater in power 
 and might, bring not railing accusation || against them 
 before the Lord. 
 
 12 But these, °as natural brute beasts, made to 
 be tasen and destroyed, speak evil of the things 
 that they understand not; and shall utterly perish 
 in their own corruption:

 Of Christ's coming to judgment 
 
 as they that count it pleasure c to riot in the day-time, 
 d Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves 
 with their own deceivings while 'they feast with you; 
 
 14 Having eyes full of f adultery, and that can- 
 not cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls; / a.n 
 heart they have exercised with covetous practices; 
 cursed children: 
 
 15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are 
 gone astray, following the way of * Balaam the son 
 of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; 
 
 16 But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb 
 ass, speaking with man's voice, forbade the madness 
 of the prophet. 
 
 17 ''These are wells without water, clouds tha' 
 are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of 
 darkness is reserved for ever. 
 
 18 For when 'they speak great swelling words of 
 vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, 
 through much wantonness, those that fc were || clean 
 escaped from them who live in error. 
 
 19 While they promise them 'liberty, they them- 
 selves are "'the servants of corruption : for of whom a. 
 man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage 
 
 20 For "if after they "have escaped the pollu- 
 tions of the world ''through the knowledge of the 
 Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again en- 
 tangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse 
 with them than the beginning. 
 
 21 For ? it had been better for them not to have 
 known the way of righteousness, than, after they 
 have known it, to turn from the holy commandment 
 delivered unto them. 
 
 22 But it is happened unto them according to the 
 true proverb, r The dog is turned to his own vomit 
 again; and, The sow that was washed, to her wal 
 lowing in the mire. 
 
 CHAP. III. 
 
 1 The certainty of Chrisi's coming to judgment. 11 An exhortation to godliness. 
 
 THIS second epistle, beloved, I now write unto 
 you; in both which "I stir up your pure minds 
 by way of remembrance : 
 
 2 That ye may be mindful of the words which 
 were spoken before by the holy prophets, 'and of 
 the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord 
 and Saviour: 
 
 3 'Knowing this first, that there shall come in the 
 last days scoffers, ^walking after their own lusts, 
 
 4 And saying, 'Where is the promise of his com- 
 ing? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things con- 
 tinue as they were from the beginning of the creation. 
 
 5 For this they willingly are ignorant of. that •'by 
 the word of God the heavens were of old, and the 
 earth f* standing out of the water and in the water: 
 
 6 h Whereby the world that then was, being over- 
 flowed with water, perished : 
 
 7 But 'the heavens and the earth, which are now, 
 by the same word are kept in store, reserved untc 
 *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 is not slack concerning his promise, 
 as some men count slackness; but "is long-suffering 
 to us-ward, "not willing that any should perish, buf 
 ''that all should come to repentance. 
 
 10 But Uhe day of the Lord will come as a thiol 
 in the night; in the which 'the heavens shall pass 
 
The person of Christ described. 
 
 away with a great noise, and the elements shall 
 melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works 
 that are therein shall be burned up. 
 
 11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dis- 
 solved, what manner of persons ought ye to be 'in 
 all holy conversation and godliness, 
 
 12 'Looking for and || hasting unto the coming of 
 the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire 
 shall "be dissolved, and the elements shall x melt 
 with fervent heat? 
 
 13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, 
 look for ^new heavens and a new earth, wherein 
 Iwelleth righteousness. 
 
 14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for 
 such things, be diligent z that ye may be found of 
 uim in peace, without spot, and blameless.

 1 He declareth tvhat he hid seen and known of the Word of life. 5 The 
 necessity of holiness, in order to fellowship with God. 
 
 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 w, -^and bear witness, *and shew unto you that 
 eternal life h which was with the Father, and Avas 
 manifested unto us;) 
 
 3 'That which we have seen and heard declare 
 we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with 
 us : and truly k our fellowship is with the Father, 
 and with his Son Jesus Christ. 
 
 4 And these things write we unto you, 'that your 
 joy may be full. 
 
 5 '"This then is the message which we have heard 
 of him, and declare unto y^ou, that " Cod is light, 
 and in him is no darkness at all. 
 
 6 "If we say that we have fellowship with him, 
 and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth : 
 
 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the 
 light, we have fellowship one with another, and ''the 
 blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all 
 sin. 
 
 8 q If we say that we have no sin, we deceive 
 ourselves, r and the truth is not in us. 
 
 9 'If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just 
 to forgive us our sins, and to 'cleanse us from all 
 unrighteousness. 
 
 l6 If we say that we have not sinned, we make 
 him a liar, and his word is not in us.

 > Christ our advocate and propitiation. 3 To know God aright is to keep 
 his commandments, and love our brethren. 18 To beware of seducers. 
 
 MY little children, these things write I unto you, 
 that ye sin not. And if any man sin "we 
 have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the 
 righteous : 
 
 2 And 6 he is the propitiation for our sins: and 
 not for ours only, but c also for the sins of the whole 
 world. 
 
 3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if 
 we keep his commandments.

 we are in him. 
 
 6 'He that saith he abideth in him, * ought him- 
 self also so to walk, even as he walked. 
 
 7 Brethren, 'I write no new commandment unto 
 you, 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 unto ytm, 
 which thing is true in him and in you: 'because tho 
 darkness is" past, and ''the true light now shineth. 
 
 9 'He that saith he is in the light, and hatetl 
 his brother, is in darkness even until now. 
 
 10 r He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, 
 and 'there is none t occasion of stumbling in him. 
 
 11 But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, 
 and 'walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither 
 he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his 
 eyes. 
 
 12 I write unto you. little children, because "your 
 sins are forgiven you for his name's sake. 
 
 13 I write unto you, fathers, because ye have 
 known him "that is from the beginning. I write 
 unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the 
 wicked one. I write unto you, little children, be- 
 cause ye have known the Father. 
 
 14 I have written unto you, fathers, because ye 
 have known him that is from the beginning. 1 have 
 written unto you, young men, because "ye are strong. 
 and the word" of God abideth in you, and ye have 
 overcome the wicked one. 
 
 15 *Love not the world, neither the things thai 
 are in the world. "If any man love the world, the 
 love of the Father is not in him. 
 
 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the 
 flesh, *and the lust 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 the lust 
 thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth 
 for ever. 
 
 18 'Little children, 'it is the last time: and Mb

 19 'They went out from us, but they were riot of 
 us; for *if they had been of us, they would no doubt 
 have continued with us: but they tOcnt out, 'that they 
 might be made manifest that they were not all of us. 
 
 20 But '"ye have an unction "from the Holy 
 One. and "ye know all things. 
 
 21 1 have not written unto you because ye know

 hath the Father also.']

 heard from the beginning. If that which ye have 
 heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ( ye 
 also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.

 of him abideth in you, and z ye need not that any 
 man teach you : but as the same anointing "teacheth 
 you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and 
 even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in || him. 
 
 28 And now, little children, abide in him; that 
 6 when he shall appear, we may have confidence, 
 c and not be ashamed before him at his coming. 
 
 29 d If ye know that he is righteous, || ye know 
 that 'every one that doeth righteousness is born of

 ] He declareth the singular love of God toward us in making us his sons; 
 3 we therefore ought obediently to keep his commandments, $c. 
 
 BEHOLD what manner of love the Father hath 
 bestowed upon us, that "we should be called 
 the sons of God! therefore the world knoweth us 
 not, 'because it knew him not. 
 
 2 Beloved, c now are we the sons of God, and rf it 
 doth not yet appear what we shall be : but we know 
 that, when he shall appear, e we shall be like him ; 
 for Ave shall see him as he is. 
 
 3 s And every man that hath this hope in him 
 purifieth himself, even as he is pure. 
 
 4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also 
 the law; for A sin is the transgression of the law. 
 
 5 And ye know 'that he was manifested *to 
 take away our sins ; and ' in him is no sin. 
 
 6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: ""who- 
 soever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known 
 him. 
 
 7 Little children, "let no man deceive you: "he 
 that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is 
 righteous. 
 
 8 ''He that committeth sin is of the devil; for 
 the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this 
 purpose the Son of God was manifested, 'that he 
 miglit destroy the works of the devil. 
 
 9 r Whosoever is born of God doth not commit 
 sin; for 'his seed remaineth in him; and he cannot 
 sin, because he is born of God. 
 
 10 In this the children of God are manifest, and 
 the children of the devil: 'whosoever doeth not 
 righteousness is not of God, "neither he that loveth 
 not his brother.

 I. J II N . Of loving one another 
 
 11 For 'this is the || message that ye heard from 
 the beginning, ! that we should love one another. 
 
 12 Not as "Cain, who was of that wicked one, 
 and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he 
 him ? Because his own works were evil, and his 
 brother's righteous. 
 
 13 Marvel not, my brethren, if "the world hate you. 
 
 14 'We know that we have passed from death 
 unto life, because we love the brethren. c He that 
 loveth not his brother, abideth in death. 
 
 15 d Whosoever hateth his brother, is a murderer: 
 and ye know that e no murderer hath eternal life 
 abiding in him. 
 
 16 S Hereby perceive we the love of God, be- 
 cause he laid down his life for us : and we ought to 
 lay down our lives for the brethren. 
 
 17 "But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth 
 his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels 
 of compassion from him, A how dwelleth the love of 
 God in him ? 
 
 18 My little children, 'let us not love in word, 
 neither in tongue, but in deed and in truth. 
 
 19 And hereby we know *that we are of the 
 truth, and shall f assure our hearts before him. 
 
 20 ' For if our heart condemn us, God is greater 
 than our heart, and knoweth all things. 
 
 21 m Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, "then 
 have we confidence toward God. 
 
 22 And "whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, 
 because we keep his commandments, p and do those* 
 things that are 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 commandments, 
 "dwelleth in him, and he in him. And x hereby we 
 know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he 
 hath given us. 
 
 CHAP. IV. 
 
 1 He warneth them not to believe all teachers who boast of the Spirit, but Is 
 try them by the rules of the catholic faith; 7 and by many reasons ex- 
 horteth to brotherly love. 
 
 BELOVED, "believe not every spirit, but 'try 
 the spirits whether they are of God ; because 
 c many false prophets are gone out into the world. 
 
 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: d Every 
 spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in 
 the flesh, is of God: 
 
 3 And "every spirit that confesseth not that 
 Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, is not of God. 
 And this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye 
 have heard that it should come; and -''even now 
 already is it in the world. 
 
 4 f Ye are of God, little children, and have over- 
 come them : because greater is he that is in you, 
 than ''he that is in the world. 
 
 5 ' They are of the world : therefore speak they 
 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 not us. Hereby 
 know we '"the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. 
 
 7 " Beloved, let us love one another : for love is 
 of God ; and every one that loveth is born of God, 
 and knoweth God. 
 
 8 He that loveth not, "knoweth not God; for 
 ''God is love.

 us, because that God sent his only begotten Son 
 into the world, r that we might live through him. 
 
 10 Herein is love, 'not that we loved God, but 
 that he loved us, and sent his Son Ho be the propi- 
 tiation for our sins. 
 
 11 Beloved, "if God so loved us, we ought also 
 to love one another. 
 
 12 x No man hath seen God at any time. If we 
 love one another, God dwelleth in us, and y his love 
 is perfected in us. 
 
 13 'Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and 
 he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. 
 
 14 And "we have seen and do testify, that 'the 
 Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. 
 
 15 'Whosoever shall confess 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 to us. d God is love: and 'he that 
 dwelleth in love, dwelleth in God, and God in him. 
 
 17 Herein is f° ur l° y e made perfect, that Ave 
 may have boldness in the day of judgment : 
 cause as he is, so are we in this world. 
 
 18 There is no fear in love ; but perfect 
 casteth out fear : because fear hath torment, 
 that feareth, A is not made perfect in love. 
 
 19 We love him, because he first loved us.

 1 Be that loveth God loveth his children, and keepeth his commandments. 
 4 True faith will overcome the world. 11 Believers have eternal life through 
 Christ; 18 they are distinguished from the world by abstaining from sin, 
 and by a right knowledge of God. 
 
 WHOSOEVER "believeth that b Jesus is the 
 Christ, is c born of God : d and every one that 
 loveth him that begat, loveth him also that is be- 
 gotten 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 com- 
 mandments ; and^'his commandments are notgrievous. 
 
 4 For e whatsoever is born of God, overcometh 
 the world : and this is the victory that overcometh 
 the world, even our faith.

 that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God ?

 G This is he that came 'by wafer and blood, 
 Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water ami 
 
 blood. 'And it is the Spirit that beareth witn> 
 because the Spirit is trutfi. 
 
 7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, 
 the Father, 'the Word, and the Holy Ghost: "ana 
 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 witness of men, the witness 
 of God is greater: 'for this is the witness of God 
 which he hath testified of his Son. 
 
 10 He that believeth on the Son of God ''hath the 
 witness in himself: he that believeth not God, 'hath 
 made him a liar, because he believeth not the record 
 that God gave of his Son. 
 
 11 r And this is the record, that God hath given 
 to us eternal 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 have I written unto you that 
 believe on the name of the Son of God; 'that ye 
 may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye 
 may believe on the name of the Son of God. 
 
 14 And this is the confidence that we have || in 
 him, that y if we ask anything according to his will, 
 he heareth us : 
 
 15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever 
 we ask, we know that we have the petitions that 
 we desired of him. 
 
 16 If any man see his brother sin a sin which is 
 not unto death, he shall ask, and z he shall give him 
 life for them that sin not unto death. "There id a 
 sin unto death: 6 I do not say that he shall pray 
 for it. 
 
 17 'All unrighteousness is sin : and there is a sin 
 not unto death. 
 
 18 We know that rf whosoever is born of God, bvl 
 neth not; but he that is begotten of God, 'keepeth 
 himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not. 
 
 19 And we know that we are of God, and -^ the 
 whole world lieth in wickedness. 
 
 20 And we know that the Sen of God is come, 
 and *hath given us an understanding, * that we may 
 know hiin that is true ; and we are in him that is 
 true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. 'This is the true 
 God, *and eternal life.

 Amen.

 mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul 
 prospereth. 
 
 3 For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren 
 came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even 
 as 'thou walkest in the truth. 
 
 4 I have no greater joy than to hear that 'my 
 children walk in truth. 
 
 5 Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou 
 doest to the brethren, and to strangers; 
 
 6 Which have borne witness of thy charity before 
 the church : whom if thou bring forward on their 
 journey f after a godly sort, thou shalt do well :

 1 Jude exhorteth Christians 10 constancy in the received faith ; 4 he fore- 
 tellelh the punishment of certain false teachers.

 of James, to them that are sanctified by God the 
 Father, and * preserved in Jesus Christ, and "called : 
 
 2 Mercy unto you, and d peace, and love, be mul- 
 tiplied. 
 
 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write 
 unto you 'of the common salvation, it was needful 
 for me to write unto you, and exhort you that •'ye 
 should earnestly contend for the faith which was 
 once delivered unto the saints. 
 
 4 s For there are certain men crept in unawares, 
 A who were before of old ordained to this condemna- 
 
 of our God 
 only Lord 
 
 tion, ungodly men, 'turning *the

 8 s Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the 
 flesh, despise dominion, and 'speak evil of dignities. 
 
 9 Yet "Michael the archangel, when contending 
 with the devil, he disputed about the body of Moses', 
 'durst not bring against him a railing accusation, 
 but said, tf The Lord rebuke thee. 
 
 10 *But these speak evil of those things which 
 they know not : but what they know naturally, as 
 brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves. 
 
 11 Wo unto them! for they have gone in the 
 way "of Cain, and *ran greedily after the error of 
 Balaam for reward, and perished c in the gainsaying 
 of Core. 
 
 12 d These are spots in your 'feasts of charity,

 out fear : -''clouds they are without water, s carried 
 about of winds ; trees whose fruit withereth, with- 
 out fruit, twice dead, ''plucked up by the roots; 
 
 13 'Raging waves of the sea, * foaming out their 
 own shame ; wandering stars, ' to whom is reserved 
 the blackness of darkness for ever. 
 
 14 And Enoch also, m the seventh from Adam, 
 prophesied of these, saying, Behold, " the Lord com- 
 eth with ten thousand of his saints, 
 
 15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince 
 all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly 
 deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of 
 
TJie coming of Christ. 
 
 all their 'hard speeches which ungodly sinners have 
 spoken against nini. 
 
 10 These are murmurers, complainers, walking 
 after their own lusts; and p their mouth speaketh 
 great swelling words, "having men's persons in ad- 
 miration because of advantage. 
 
 17 r But, beloved, remember ye the words which 
 were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord 
 Jesus Christ; 
 
 18 How that they told you 'there should be 
 mockers in the last time, who should walk after 
 their own ungodly lusts. 
 
 19 These be they 'who separate themselves, "sen- 
 sual, having not the Spirit.

 CHAP. I. 
 
 4 John's salutation to the seven churches. 7 The coming of Christ; 14 his 
 glorious power and majesty. 
 
 THE Revelation of Jesus Christ, "which God gave 
 unto him, to shew unto his servants things 
 which 'must shortly come to pass; and c he sent and 
 signified it by his angel unto his servant John : 
 
 2 ''Who bare record of the word of God, and of the 
 testimony of Jesus Chris t,and of all things 'that he saw. 
 
 3 •'Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear 
 the words of this prophecy, and keep those things 
 which are written therein : for * the time is at hand. 
 4 TOHN to the seven churches which are in Asia: 
 
 *J Grace be unto you, and peace, from him 'which 
 is, and 'which was, and which is to come; *and from 
 the seven Spirits which are before his throne; 
 
 5 And from Jesus Christ, 'who is the faithful Wit- 
 ness, and the m First-begotten of the dead, and "the 
 Prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him "that loved 
 us, p and washed us from our sins in his own blood, 
 
 6 And hath ? made, us kings and priests unto God 
 And his Father; r to him be glory and dominion for 
 ever and ever. Amen. 
 
 7 * Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye 
 shall see him, and 'they also which pierced him: and 
 all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. 
 Even so, Amen. 
 
 8 "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the 
 ending, saith the Lord, 'which is, and which was, and 
 which is to come, the Almighty. 
 
 9 I John, who also am your brother, and y compan- 
 ion in tribulation, and z in the kingdom and patience 
 of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Pat- 
 mos, "for the word of God, and for the testimony of 
 Jesus Christ. 
 
 10 'I was in the Spirit on 'the Lord's day, and 
 heard behind me rf a great voice, as of a trumpet, 
 
 11 Saying, '1 am Alpha and Omega, Ahe first and 
 the last: and, What thou seest write in a book, and 
 send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; 
 unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Perga- 
 mos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto 
 Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea. 
 
 12 And I turned to see the voice that spake 
 with me. And being turned, s I saw seven golden 
 candlesticks ; 
 
 13 *And in the midst of the seven candlesticks 
 one like unto the Son of man, * clothed with a gar 
 
 tnent down to the foot, and 'girt about the paps with 
 a golden girdle.

 CHAP. II. 
 
 1 What John was commanded to write to the any eh of the churches of Epltetus, 
 8 Smyrna, 12 Pcryamos, 18 and Thyatira. 
 
 UNTO the angel of the church of Ephesus write 
 These things saith "he that holdeth the seven 
 stars in his right hand, 'who walketh in the midst 
 of the seven golden candlesticks; 
 
 2 C I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy 
 patience, and how thou canst not bear them which 
 are evil; and rf thou hast tried them 'which say they 
 are apostles, and are not; and hast found them liars: 
 
 3 And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my 
 name's sake hast laboured, and hast •'not fainted. 
 
 4 Nevertheless, I have somewhat against thee, be- 
 cause thou hast left thy first love. 
 
 5 Remember therefore from whence thou art 
 fallen, and repent, and do the first works; f or else 
 I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy 
 candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. 
 
 6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds 
 of 'the Nicolaitanes, which 1 also hate. 
 
 7 'He that hath an ear, let him hear what the 
 Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that over- 
 cometh will I give *to eat of 'the tree of life, which 
 is in the midst of the paradise of God. 
 
 8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna, 
 
 743 
 
7 ohn writeth to the 
 
 REVELATION. 
 
 seven churches of Asia 
 
 write; These things saith m the first and the last, 
 which was dead, ;md is alive; 
 
 9 "1 know thy works, and tribulation, and pover- 
 ty, (but thou art "rich) and / knoiv the blasphemy 
 of Mhem which say they are Jews, and are not, 'but 
 are the synagogue of Satan. 
 
 10 'Fear none of those things which thou shalt 
 suffer. Behold, the devil shall cast some of you into 
 prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tri- 
 bulation ten days. 'Be thou faithful unto death, and 
 J will give thee 'a crown of life. 
 
 \Y "He that hath an ear, let him hear what the 
 Spirit saith unto the churches ; He that overcometh 
 shall not be hurt of r the second death. _ 
 
 12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos 
 write; These things saith y h.e which hath the sharp 
 sword with two edges ; 
 
 13 l I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, 
 even "where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast 
 my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in 
 those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, 
 who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth. 
 
 14 But I have a few things against thee, because 
 thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of ''Ba- 
 laam, who taught Balak to cast a stumbling-block 
 before the children of Israel, c to eat things sacrificed 
 unto idols, rf and to commit fornication. 
 
 15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine 
 'of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate. 
 
 16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, 
 and Avill fight against them with the sword of my 
 mouth. 
 
 17 { He that hath an ear, let him hear what the 
 Spirit saith unto the churches : To him that over- 
 cometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and 
 will give him a white stone, and in the stone A a new 
 name written, which no man knoweth, saving he 
 that receiveth it. 
 
 18 And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira 
 write; These things saith the Son of God, 'who hath 
 nis eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are 
 like fine brass ; 
 
 19 *I know thy works, and charity, and service, 
 and faith, and thy patience, and thy works ; and the 
 last to be more than the first : 
 
 20 Notwithstanding, I have a few things against 
 thee, because thou sufferest that woman- Jezebel, 
 which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to 
 seduce my servants m to commit fornication, and to 
 eat things sacrificed unto idols. 
 
 21 And I gave her space "to repent of her forni- 
 cation, and she repented not. 
 
 22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them 
 that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, 
 except they repent of their deeds. 
 
 23 And I will kill her children with death ; and 
 all the churches shall know that "I am he Avhich 
 searcheth the reins and hearts : and ''I will give unto 
 every one of you according to your works. 
 
 24 But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thya- 
 tira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which 
 have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak ; 
 J I will put upon you none other burden: 
 
 25 But r that which ye have already, hold fast till 
 I come. 
 
 26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth 'my 
 works unto the end, f to him will I give power over 
 the nations.

 1 What John was commanded to write to the angels of the ch-' ■ ches of Sardis, 
 7 Philadelphia, 14 and Laodicea. 
 
 AND unto the angel of the church va Bard is 
 write; These things saith he "that hath the 
 seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; b i k.r,ow 
 thy works, that thou hast a name that th^u IJvfest, 
 c and art dead. 
 
 2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which 
 remain, that are ready to die : for I have not foun'J 
 thy works perfect before God. 
 
 3 d Remember therefore how thou hast reached 
 and heard, and hold fast, and 'repent. ^ If therefore 
 thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, 
 and thou shalt not know what hour I will conn? 
 upon thee. 
 
 4 Thou hast s k few names even in Sardis whirh 
 have not A defiled their garments; and they shall 
 walk with me 'in white : for they are worthy. 
 
 5 He that overcometh, *the same shall be clothed 
 in white raiment; and I will not 'blot out his name 
 out of the '"book of life, but "I will confess his name 
 before my Father, and before his angels. 
 
 6 "He that hath an ear, let him hear what the 
 Spirit saith unto the churches. 
 
 7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia 
 write; These things saith ^he that is holy, ?he that 
 is true, he that hath r the key of David, 'he that 
 openeth, and no man shutteth; and 'shutteth, and 
 no man openeth : 
 
 8 "I know thy works : behold, I have set before 
 thee *an open door, and no man 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 y them of the synagogue of 
 Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do 
 lie; behold, *I will make them to come and worship 
 before thy feet, and to know that T have loved thee 
 
 10 Because thou hast kept the word of my pa 
 tience, °I also will keep thee from the hour of temp 
 tation, wdiich shall come upon 'all the world, to try 
 them that dwell 'upon the earth. 
 
 11 Behold, d I come quickly : 'hold that fast which 
 thou hast, that no man take J thy crown. 
 
 12 Him that overcometh, will I make *a pillar in 
 the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: 
 and A I will write upon him the name of my God, and 
 the name of the city of my God, which is 'new Jeru 
 salem, which cometh down out of heaven from my 
 God : * and / will write upon him my new name. 
 
 13 'He that hath an ear, let him hear what the 
 Spirit saith unto the churches. 
 
 14 And unto the angel of the church || of the 
 Laodiceans write ; m These things saith the Amen, 
 "the faithful and true Witness, "the beginning of the 
 creation of God; 
 
 15 ''I know thy works, that thou art neither cold 
 nor hot : I would thou wert cold or hot. 
 
 16 So then, because thou art lukewarm, and nei- 
 ther cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth v 
 
 17 Because thou sayest, 9 1 am rich, and increased 
 with goods, and have need of nothing ; and knowest 
 
The vwon of God's throne. 
 
 not that thou .are wretched, and miserable, and poor, 
 and blind, and naked : 
 
 18 I counsel thee r to buy of me gold tried in the 
 fire, that thou mayest be rich; and 'white raiment, 
 that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of 
 thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes 
 with eye-salve, 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 : 'ifany 
 man hear my voice, and open the door, y l will come 
 in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. 
 
 21 To him that overcometh x will I grant to sit 
 with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and 
 am set down with my Father in his throne. 
 
 22 "He that hath an ear, let him hear what the 
 Spirit saith unto the churches.

 1 John teeth the throne of God in heaven. 4 The four and twenty elders. 
 6 The four beasts full of eyes before and behind, $c. 
 
 AFTER this I looked, and behold, a door was 
 opened in heaven : and " the first voice which I 
 heard, was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; 
 which said, 'Come up hither, c and I will shew thee 
 things which must be hereafter. 
 
 2 And immediately d l was in the Spirit: and be- 
 hold, 'a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the 
 throne. 
 
 3 And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper 
 and a sardine stone : •'"and there was a rainbow round 
 about the throne in sight like unto an emerald. 
 
 4 *And round about the throne were four and 
 twenty seats; and upon the seats I saw four and 
 twenty elders sitting, h clothed in white raiment; 
 'and they had on their heads crowns of gold. 
 
 5 And out of the throne proceeded * lightnings, 
 and thunderings, and voices. 'And there were seven 
 lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are 
 m thft seven Spirits of God. 
 
 6 And before the throne there was " a sea of glass 
 like unto crystal: "And in the midst of the throne, 
 and round about the throne, were four beasts full of 
 eyes beforehand behind. 
 
 7 'And the first beast tvas like a lion, and the 
 second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a 
 face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying 
 eagle. 
 
 8 And the four beasts had each of them r six 
 wing i about him; and they were full of eyes 'within: 
 and \ they rest not day and night, saying, 'Holy, 
 holy, holy, "Lord God Almighty, * which was, and 
 is, and is to come. 
 
 9 And when those beasts give glory, and honour, 
 and thanks to him that sat on the throne, y who liv- 
 eth for ever and ever, 
 
 10 2 The four and twenty elders fall down before 
 him that sat on the throne, "and worship him that 
 liveth for ever and ever, 'and cast their crowns 
 before the throne, saying, 
 
 11 c Thou art worthy, Lord, to receive glory, and 
 honour, and power: "for thou hast created all things, 
 and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

 O HAP. IV, V, VI The seatrd book tpmm 
 
 2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a 
 loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to 
 loose the Beals thereof? 
 
 3 And no man 'in heaven, nor in earth, neither 
 under the earth, was able to open the book, neither 
 to look thereon. 
 
 4 And I wept much, because no man was found 
 worthy to open, and to read the book, neither to 
 look thereon. 
 
 5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep 
 not: behold, d the Lion of the tribe of Juda. 'the 
 Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book/ 
 and -/"to loose the seven seals thereof. 
 
 6 And I beheld, and lo, in the midst of the throne, 
 and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the 
 elders, stood s a Lamb as it had been slain, having 
 seven horns, and A seven eyes, which are 'the se\*n 
 Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. 
 
 7 And he came and took the book out of tho 
 right hand *of him that sat upon the throne. 
 
 8 And when he had taken the book, 'the four 
 beasts, and four and twenty elders fell down before 
 the Lamb, having every one of them "'harps, and 
 golden vials full of || odours, ■ which are the prayers 
 of saints. 
 
 9 And "they sung a new song, saying, 'Thou art 
 worthy to take the book, and to open the seals 
 thereof: 'for thou wast slain, and r hast redeemed 
 us to God by thy blood 'out of every kindred, and 
 tongue, and people, and nation ; 
 
 10 'And hast made us unto our God kings and 
 priests : and we shall reign on the earth. 
 
 11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many 
 angels "round about the throne, and the beasts, and 
 the elders: and the number of them was a ten thou- 
 sand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; 
 
 12 Saying with a loud voice, y Worthy is the 
 Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, 
 and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory 
 and blessing. 
 
 13 And *every creature which is in heaven, and 
 on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are 
 in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, 
 "Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto 
 him 'that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the 
 Lamb, for ever and ever. 
 
 14 c And the four beasts said, Amen. And the 
 four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped 
 him ''that liveth for ever and ever. 
 
 CHAP. VI. 
 
 The opening of six of the seals in order, and what followed thereupon. 
 
 AND "I saw when the Lamb opened one of the 
 seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thun 
 der, 'one of the four beasts, Baying, Come and see, 
 
 2 And I saw, and behold, r a white horse: rf and 
 he that sat on him had a bow; 'and a crown was 
 given unto him : and he went forth conquering, and 
 to conquer. 
 
 3 And when he had opened the second seal, - r l 
 heard the second beast say, Come and see. 
 
 4 f And there went out another horse that was red : 
 and power was given to him that sat thereon to take 
 peace from the earth, and that they should kill one 
 another: and there was given unto him a great sword. 
 
 5 And when he had opened the third seal. ' I 
 heard the third beast 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. 
 
 7io 
 
The fourth, fifth, and sixth seah ovcned. 
 
 6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four 
 beasts say, || A measure of wheat for a penny, and 
 three measures of barley for a penny; and * see thou 
 hurt not the oil and the wine. 
 
 7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, 'I heard 
 'he voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. 
 
 8 m And I looked, and behold, a pale horse: and 
 his name that sat on him was Death, and hell fol- 
 lowed with him. And power was given || unto them 
 over the fourth part of the earth, " to kill with sword, 
 and with hunger, and with death, /'and with the 
 beasts of the earth. 
 
 9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw 
 under ? the altar r the souls of them that were slain 
 'for the word of God, and for 'the testimony which 
 they held : 
 
 10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, 
 "How long, Lord, x holy and true, y dost thou not 
 judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on 
 the earth? 
 
 11 And 'white robes were given unto every one 
 of them; and it was said unto them, "that they 
 should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow- 
 servants also and their brethren, that should be 
 killed as they were, should be fulfilled. 
 
 12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth 
 seal, *and lo, there was a great earthquake; and "the 
 sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon 
 became as blood : 
 
 13 d And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, 
 even as a fig-tree casteth her || untimely figs, when 
 she is shaken of a mighty wind. 
 
 14 'And the heaven departed as a scroll when it 
 is rolled together; and ■'"every mountain and island 
 were moved out of 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 bond-man, and every 
 free-man, *hid themselves in the dens and in the 
 rocks of the mountains; 
 
 16 A 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 JLamb : 
 
 17 'For the great day of his wrath is come; *and 
 who shall be able to stand? 
 
 CHAP. VII. 
 
 2 An angel cometh to seal the servants of God i* their foreheads . 4 the 
 number of them that were sealed out of each of the tribes of Israel, ftc. 
 
 AND after these things I saw four angels standing 
 on the four corners of the earth, "holding the 
 four winds of the earth, Hhat the wind should not 
 blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. 
 
 2 And I saw another angel ascending from the 
 east, having 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, c Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, 
 nor the trees, till we have d sealed the servants of 
 our God e in their foreheads. 
 
 4 •''And I heard the number of them which were 
 sealed: and there were sealed 5 an hundred and forty 
 and four thousand of all the tribes of the children 
 of Israel. 
 
 5 Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thou- 
 sand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve 
 thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve

 9 After this I beheld, and lo, A a great multitude, 
 which no man- could number, 'of all nations, and 
 kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the 
 throne, and before the Lamb, * clothed with white 
 robes, and palms in their hands ; 
 
 10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, 'Salva- 
 tion to our God m which sitteth upon the throne, and 
 unto the Lamb. 
 
 11 "And all the angels stood round about the throne, 
 and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell be- 
 fore the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, 
 
 12 " Saying, Amen : Blessing, and glory, and wis- 
 dom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and 
 might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen. 
 
 13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto 
 me, What are these which are arrayed in ''white 
 robes? and whence came they? 
 
 14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And 
 he said to me, ? These are they which came out of 
 great tribulation, and have ''washed their robes, and 
 made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 
 
 15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, 
 and serve him day and night in his temple : and he 
 that sitteth on the throne shall 'dwell among them. 
 
 16 'They shall hunger no more, neither thirst 
 any more; "neither shall the sun light on them, nor 
 any heat. 
 
 17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the 
 throne * shall feed them, and .shall lead them unto 
 living fountains of waters: ^and God shall wipe 
 away all tears from their eyes. 
 
 CHAP. VIII. 
 
 1 At the opening of the seventh seal, 2 seven angels have seven trumpets givn 
 them. 6 Four of them sound their trumpets, and great plagues follow, §c. 
 
 AND "when he had opened the seventh seal, 
 there was silence in heaven about the space 
 of half an hour. 
 
 2 *And I saw the seven angels wdiich stood be- 
 fore God; c and to them were given seven trumpets. 
 
 3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, 
 having a golden censer; and there was given unto 
 him much incense, that he should || offer it with rf the 
 prayers of all saints upon "the golden altar which 
 was before the throne. 
 
 4 And Ahe smoke of the incense, which came with 
 the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God 
 out of the angel's hand. 
 
 5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with 
 fire of the altar, and cast it || into the earth : and 
 s there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, 
 "and an earthquake. 
 
 6 And the seven angels which had the seven 
 trumpets prepared themselves to sound. 
 
 7 The first angel sounded 'and there followed 
 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. 
 
Cr 
 
 real plagues on the earth. 
 
 chap, jx, x 
 
 8 And the second angel sounded, "and as it were 
 a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the 
 Bea: *and the third part of the sea "became blood; 
 
 9 *And the third part of the creatures which were 
 in the sea, and had life, died ; and the third part of 
 the ships were destn^ed. 
 
 10 And the third angel sounded, ? and there fell a 
 great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, 
 r 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 Worm- 
 wood : 'and the third part of the waters became 
 wormwood; and many men died of the waters, be- 
 cause they were made bitter. 
 
 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 as the 
 third part of them was darkened, and the day shone 
 not for a third part o_ it, and the night likewise. 
 
 13 And 1 beheld, x and heard an angel flying 
 through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, 
 * Wo, wo, wo, to the inhabiters of the earth, by rea- 
 son of the other voices of the trumpet of the three 
 angels, which are yet to sound ! 
 
 CHAP. IX. 
 
 1 At the sounding of the fifth angel, a star falleth from heaven, to whom is 
 given the key of the bottomless pit: 2 he openeth the pit, and there come 
 forth locusts like scorpions : 12 the first wo is past, fyc. 
 
 AND the fifth angel sounded, "and I saw a star 
 fall from heaven unto the earth : and to him 
 was given the key of 'the bottomless pit. 
 
 2 And he opened the bottomless pit; c and there 
 arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great 
 furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by 
 reason of the smoke of the pit. 
 
 3 And there came out of the smoke rf locusts upon 
 the earth: and unto them was given power, 'as the 
 scorpions of the earth have power. 
 
 4 And it was commanded them^'that they should 
 not hurt *the grass of the earth, neither any green 
 thing, neither any tree; but only those men which 
 have not A the seal of God in their foreheads. 
 
 5 And to them it was given that they should not 
 kill them, 'but that they should be tormented five 
 months: and their torment was as the torment of a 
 scorpion, when he striketh a man. 
 
 6 And in those days * shall men seek death, and 
 shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death 
 shall flee from them. 
 
 7 And 'the shapes of the locusts were like unto 
 horses prepared unto 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 
 "as the sound of chariots of many horses running to 
 battle. 
 
 1.0 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and 
 there were stings in their tails: 'and their power 
 toas to hurt men five months. 
 
 11 r And they had a king over them, which is 'the 
 angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the He- 
 brew tongue is Abaddon, bui in the Greek tongue 
 hath his name || Apollyon. 
 
 12 ' One wo is past ; and behold, there come two 
 woes more hereafter

 Four angels loosed 
 
 13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a 
 voice from the four horns of the golden altar which 
 is before God, 
 
 14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the tnirn 
 pet, Loose the four angels which are bound "in thfc 
 great river Euphrates. 
 
 15 And the four angels were loosed, which were 
 prepared || for an hour, and a day, and a month, and 
 a year, for to slay the third part of men. 
 
 16 And 'the number of the army "of the horse- 
 men were two hundred thousand thousand: 'and J 
 heard the number of them. 
 
 17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and 
 them that sat on them, having breast-plates of fire, 
 and of jacinth, and brimstone: "and the heads of the 
 horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their 
 mouths issued fire, and smoke, and brimstone. 
 
 18 By these three was the third part of men 
 killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the 
 brimstone, which issued out of their mouths. 
 
 19 For their power is in their mouth, and in their 
 tails: 6 for their tails were like unto serpents, and 
 had heads, and with them they do hurt. 
 
 20 And the rest of the men which were not 
 killed by these plagues c yet repented not of the 
 works of their hands, that they should not worship 
 rf devils, 'and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and 
 stone, and of wood : which neither can see, nor hear, 
 nor walk : 
 
 21 Neither repented they of their murders, 'noi 
 of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of 
 their thefts. 
 
 CHAP. X. 
 
 1 A mighty strong angel appearelh with a book open in his hand: 6 A. 
 sweareth by him that livelh for ever, that there shall be no more time 
 9 John is commanded to take and eat the book. 
 
 AND I saw another mighty angel come dowa 
 from heaven, clothed with a cloud : "and a rain- 
 bow was upon his head, and 'his face was as it were 
 the sun, and 'his feet as pillars of fire: 
 
 2 And he had in his hand a little book open : 
 d and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left 
 foot on the earth, 
 
 3 And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion 
 roareth : and when he had cried, 'seven thunders 
 uttered their voices. 
 
 4 And when the seven thunders had uttered their 
 voices, I was about to write: and I heard a vou-e 
 from heaven saying unto me, J Seal up those things 
 which the seven thunders uttered, and write them 
 not. 
 
 5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea 
 and upon the earth, g lifted up his hand to heaven. 
 
 6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, 
 ''who created heaven, and the things that therein 
 are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, 
 and the sea, and the things which are th 'rein, 'that 
 there should be time no longer : 
 
 7 But *in the days of the voice of the seventh 
 angel, when he shalf begin to sound, the mystery of 
 God should be finished," as he hath declared to his 
 servants the prophets. 
 
 8 And 'the voice which I heard from heaven 
 spake unto me again, and said, Go. and take the little 
 book which is open in the hand of the angel which 
 standeth upon the sea and upon the earth. 
 
 9 And I went unto the angel, and said unto him. 
 Give me the little book. And lie said unto me, "Take 
 
 747 
 
l'he prophecy of the two witnesses. 
 
 it, and eat it up ; and it shall make thy helly hitter, 
 but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey. 
 
 10 And I took the little book out of the angel's 
 hand, and ate it up; "and it was in my mouth 
 6\veet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it °my 
 belly was bitter. 
 
 11 And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy 
 again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, 
 and kings. 
 
 CHAP. XT. 
 
 ' 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, §c. 
 
 AND there was given me "a reed like unto a rod : 
 and the angel stood, saying, * Rise, and measure 
 the temple of God, and the altar, and them that 
 worship therein. 
 
 2 But 'the court which is without the temple, 
 t leave out, and measure it not; ''for it is given 
 unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they 
 
 tread under foot / forty and two months. 
 
 3 And ||I will give power unto my two e wit- 
 nesses, h and they shall prophesy 'a thousand two 
 hundred and threescore 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 man will hurt them, 'fire proceedeth 
 out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: 
 m and if any man will hurt them, he must in this 
 manner be killed. 
 
 6 These "have power to shut heaven, that it rain 
 not in the days of their prophecy: and "have power 
 over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the 
 earth with all plagues, as often as they will. 
 
 7 And when they p shall have finished their tes- 
 timony, 'the beast that ascendeth r out of the bot- 
 tomless pit 'shall make war against them, and shall 
 overcome them, and kill them. 
 
 8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of 
 the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom 
 
 and Egypt, " where also our Lord was crucified. 
 
 9 x And they of the people, and kindreds, and 
 tongues, and nations, shall see their dead bodies 
 three days and an half, y and shall not suffer their 
 dead bodies to be put in graves. 
 
 10 'And they that dwell upon the earth shall 
 rejoice over them, and make merry, "and shall send 
 gifts one to another; b because these two prophets 
 tormented them that dwelt on the earth. 
 
 11 'And after three days and an half d the Spirit 
 of life from God entered into them, and they stood 
 upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which 
 saw them. 
 
 12 And they heard a great voice from heaven, 
 saying unto them, Come up hither. 'And they 
 ascended up to heaven •'in a cloud; *and their 
 enemies beheld them. 
 
 13 And the same hour A was there a great earth- 
 quake, 'and the tenth part of the city fell, and in 
 the earthquake were slain f of men seven thousand : 
 and the remnant were affrighted, *and gave glory 
 to the God of heaven. 
 
 14 'The second wo is past; and behold, the 
 third wo cometh quickly. 
 
 15 And m 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; ''and he shall reign for ever and

 16 And «the four and twenty elders, which sat 
 before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and 
 worshipped God, 
 
 17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God 
 Almighty, T which art, and wast, and art to come; 
 because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, 
 'and hast reigned. 
 
 18 'And the nations were angry, and thy wrath

 be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward 
 unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, 
 and them that fear thy name, 'small and great, 
 ^and shouldest destroy them which || destroy the earth. 
 
 19 And z the temple of God was opened in heaven, 
 and there was seen in his temple the ark of his 
 testament: and ° there were lightnings, and voices, 
 and thunderings, and an earthquake, 6 and great hail.

 1 A woman clothed with the snn travaileth ; 4 the great red dragon standeth 
 before her, ready to devour her child: 5 she is delivered, and fleet h intt 
 the wilderness, Jfc. 
 
 AND there appeared a great || wonder in heaven ; 
 a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon 
 under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve 
 stars : 
 
 2 And she, being with child, cried, "travailing in 
 birth, and pained to be delivered. 
 
 3 And there appeared another || wonder in heaven , 
 and behold, b 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 did cast them to the earth: and the dragon 
 stood * before the woman which was ready to be de- 
 livered, 'for to devour her child as soon as it was born. 
 
 5 And she brought forth a man-child, *who was 
 to rule all nations with a rod of iron : and her child 
 was caught up unto God, and to his throne. 
 
 6 And 'the woman fled into the wilderness, 
 where she hath a place prepared of God, that they 
 should feed her there "'a thousand two hundred and 
 threescore 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; neither was their place 
 found any more in heaven. 
 
 9 And Hhe great dragon was cast out, 'that 
 old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, T which 
 deceiveth the whole world : 'he was cast out into 
 the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. 
 
 10 And 1 heard a loud voice saying in heaven, 
 'Now is come salvation, and strength, and the king 
 dom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for 
 the accuser of our brethren is cast down "which 
 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 testimony; y and 
 they loved not their lives unto the death. 
 
 12 Therefore * rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that 
 dwell in them. "Wo to the inhabiters of the earth, 
 and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto 
 you, having great wrath, * because he knoweth that 
 he hath but a short time. 
 
 13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast, 
 unto the earth, he persecuted c the woman which 
 brought forth the man-child. 
 
 14 ''And to the woman were given two wings of a 
 great eagle, 'that she might fly -'into the wilderness 
 
which the dragon cast out of his mouth 
 
 dragon was wroth with 
 
 the 
 
 woman. 
 
 17 And the 
 •and went to make war with the remnant of her 
 seed, * which keep the commandments of God, and 
 have 'the testimony of Jesus Christ. 
 
 CHAP. XIII. 
 
 1 A beast riseth out of the sea with seven heads and ten horns. 11 Another 
 beast cometh up out of the earth, which supportelh the worship of the 
 former beast. 
 
 \ ND I stood upon the sand of the sea, and 
 
 a beast rise up out of the sea, 
 
 'having 
 
 saw 
 seven 
 
 heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, 
 and upon his heads the || name of blasphemy. 
 
 2 'And the beast which I saw was like unto a 
 leopard, d and his feet were as the feet of a bear, f and 
 his mouth as the mouth of a lion : and f the dragon 
 gave him his power, *and his seat, A and great authority. 
 
 3 And I saw one of his heads ' as it were f wounded 
 to death ; and his deadly wound was healed : and 
 'all the world wondered after the beast. 
 
 4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave 
 power unto the beast : and they worshipped the 
 beast, saying, 'Who is like unto the beast? who is 
 able to make war with him ? 
 
 5 And there was given unto him m a mouth speak- 
 ing great things and blasphemies ; and power was 
 given unto him || to continue "forty and two months. 
 
 6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against 
 God, to blaspneme his name, "and his tabernacle, 
 and them that dwell in heaven. 
 
 7 And it was given unto him Ho make war with 
 the saints, and to overcome them: tf and power was 
 given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. 
 
 8 And all that dwell upon 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 man have an ear, let him hear. 
 
 10 "He that leadeth into captivity, shall go into 
 captivity : -"he that killeth with the sword, must be 
 killed with the sword. y Ilere is the patience and 
 the faith of the saints. 
 
 11 And I beheld another beast 'coming up out 
 
 of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb, and 
 he spake as a dragon. 
 
 12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first 
 beast before him, and causeth the earth and them 
 which dwell therein to worship the first beast, 
 •whose deadly wound was healed. 
 
 13 And 6 he doeth great wonders, c so that he 
 maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth 
 in the sight of men. 
 
 14 And rf deceiveth them that dwell on the earth 
 c by the means of those miracles which he had power 
 to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that 
 dwell on the earth, that they should make an image 
 to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, •'and 
 did live. 
 
 1 5 And he had power to give f life unto the image 
 of the beast, that the image of the beast should both 
 speak, ¥ and cause that as many as would not wor- 
 ship the image of the beast should be killed.

 mount Sion, and with him 6 an hundred forty 
 and four thousand, 'having his Father's name writ-

 2 And I heard a voice from heaven, 'as the voice 
 of many waters, and as the voice of a great thun- 
 der : and I heard the voice of 'harpers harping with 
 their harps : 
 
 3 And J they sung as it were a new song before 
 the throne, and before the four beasts, and the el- 
 ders : and no man could learn that song *but the 
 hundred and forty and four thousand, which were 
 redeemed from the earth.

 5 And m in their mouth was found no guile: toi 
 "they are without fault before the throne of God. 
 
 6 And I saw another angel "fly in the midst ol 
 heaven, * having the everlasting gospel to preach 
 unto them that dwell on the earth, 'and to every 
 nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, 
 
 7 Saying with a loud voice, r Fear God, and give 
 glory to him ; for the hour of his judgment is come • 
 'and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and 
 the sea, and the fountains of waters. 
 
 8 And there followed another angel, saying, 
 'Babylon is fallen, is fallen, "that great city, because 
 she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath 
 of her fornication. 
 
 9 And the third angel followed them, saying 
 with a loud voice, x If any man worship the beast 
 and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, 
 or in his hand, 
 
 10 The same v shall drink of the wine of the wrath 
 of God, which is *poured out without mixture into 
 "the cup of his indignation; and 'he shall be tor- 
 mented with c fire and brimstone in the presence of 
 the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb : 
 
 11 And ''the smoke of their torment ascend eth

 'Having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand

 .rying with a loud voice to him that sat on the 
 cloud, " Thrust in thy sickle, and reap : for the time 
 is come for thee to reap; for the harvest "of the

 16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his

 17 And another angel came out of the temple

 18 And another angel came out from the altar, 
 p which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry 
 to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, q 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, "even 
 unto the horse-bridles, by the space of a thousand

 AND "I saw another sign in heaven, great and 
 marvellous, "seven angels having the seven last 
 plagues; 'for in them is filled up the wrath of God. 
 
 2 And I saw as it were rf a sea of glass 'mingled 
 with fire : and them that had gotten the victory over 
 the beast, •'and over his image, and over his mark, 
 and over the number of his name, stand on the sea 
 of glass, e having the harps of God. 
 
 3 And they sing A the song of Mcses the servant 
 jf God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, £ Great

 fc 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 
 nhall come and worship before thee: for thy judg-

 5 And after that I looked, and behold, " the tem- 
 ple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven 
 was opened : 
 
 6 "And the seven angels came out of the temple, 
 having the seven plagues, ^clothed in pure and 
 white linen, and having their breasts girded with 
 golden girdles. 
 
 7 ? And one of the four beasts gave unto 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 no man 
 was able to enter into the temple, till the seven 
 plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.

 *upon the sea; and A it became as the blood

 4 And the third angel poured out his vial *upon the 
 rivers and fountains of waters: 'and they became blood. 
 
 5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, 
 "'Thou art righteous, O Lord, "which art, and wast, 
 and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus. 
 
 6 For "they have shed the blood p of saints and 
 prophets, 9 and thou hast given them blood to drink;

 7 And I heard another out of the altar say, 
 Even so, r Lord God Almighty, 'true and righteous

 8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial 
 'upon the sun; "and power was given unto him to 
 scorch men with fire. 
 
 9 And men were || scorched with great heat, and 
 x blasphemed the name of God, which hath power 
 over these plagues: y and they repented not Ho give

 10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial "upon 
 the seat of the beast; 'and his kingdom was full of 
 darkness; 'and they gnawed their tongues for pain, 
 
 11 And ^blasphemed the God of heaven, because 
 of their pains and 'their sores, f and repented not of 
 their deeds. 
 
 12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial^upoy

 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 out of the mouth of 'the dragon, and out of the 
 mouth of the beast, ana out of the mouth of m the 
 false prophet. 
 
 14 "For they are the spirits of devils, "working

 17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial

 3 So he carried me away in the spirit s into the JSuiis. 
 wilderness: and I saw a woman sit ''upon a scarlet- ihfit"* 
 coloured beast, full of 'names of blasphemy, * having |J 8 C h*'i2. o, 
 seven heads and ' ten horns. ; **^ h ,., .' 
 
 4 And the woman '"was arrayed in purple and k^, 1 ! 1 -' 
 scarlet-colour, "and f decked with gold and precious 
 stones and pearls, "having a golden cup in her hand 
 'full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication : 
 
 5 And upon her forehead ivas a name written, 
 'MYSTERY, BABYLON 'THE GREAT, 'THE 
 MOTHER OF || HARLOTS AND ABOMINA- 
 TIONS OF THE EARTH. 
 
 6 And I saw 'the woman drunken "with the blood 
 of the saints, and with the blood of x the martyrs 
 of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with 
 great admiration. 
 
 7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst 
 thou marvel ? I will tell thee the mystery of the 
 woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which 
 hath the seven heads, and ten horns. 
 
 8 The beast that thou sawest, was, and is not; 
 and y shall ascend ou t of the bottomless pit, and "go into 
 perdition: and they that dwell on the earth "shall 
 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 c here is the mind which hath wisdom. ''The 
 seven heads are seven mountains, on which the 
 woman sitteth. 
 
 10 And there are seven kings : five are fallen, 
 and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when 
 he cometh, he must continue a short space. 
 
 11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is 
 the eighth, and is of the seven, and e goeth into per- 
 dition. 
 
 12 And-^the ten horns which thou sawest are ten 
 kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but 
 receive power as kings one hour with the beast. 
 
 13 These have one mind, and shall give their 
 power and strength unto the beast. 
 
 14 s These shall make war with the Lamb, and the 
 Lamb shall overcome them; A for he is Lord of lords, 
 and King of kings; 'and they that are with him 
 are called, and chosen, and faithful. 
 
 15 And he saith unto me, * The waters which thou 
 sawest, where the whore sitteth, 'are peoples, and 
 multitudes, and nations, and tongues. 
 
 16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon 
 the beast, '"these shall hate the whore, and snail 
 make her desolate "and naked, and shall eat her 
 tlesh, and "burn her with fire. 
 
 17 ^For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his 
 will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the 
 beast, ''until the words of God shall be fulfilled. 
 
 18 And the woman which thou sawest 'is that

 God's judgment* upon Buhylot, 
 
 2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice. Bay- 
 ing, ' Babylon the groat is fallen, is fallen, and "is be- 
 come the habitation of devils, and the hold of every 
 foul spirit, and r a cage of every unclean and hatefui 
 
 bird. 
 
 3 For all nations/have drunk of the wine of the 
 wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth 
 have committed fornication with her, '-and the o 
 chants of the earth are waxed rich through the 
 II abundance of her delicacies. 
 
 4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying. 
 ''Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partaken 
 of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues, 
 
 5 'For her sins have reached unto heaven, and 
 *God hath remembered her iniquities. 
 
 G 'Reward her even as she rewarded you, and 
 double unto her double according to her works; "in 
 the cup which she hath filled, "fill to her double. 
 
 7 "How much she hath glorified herself, and lived 
 deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her : 
 for she saith in her heart, I sit a 7 ' queen, and am nc 
 widow, and shall see no sorrow. 
 
 8 Therefore shall her plagues come ''in one da}-, 
 death, and mourning, and famine; and 'she shall he 
 utterly burned with fire: 'for strong is the Lord 
 God who judge th her. 
 
 9 And 'the kings of the earth, who have commit- 
 ted fornication and lived deliciously with her, "shall 
 bewail her, and lament for her, a when they shall 
 see the smoke of her burning, 
 
 10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, 
 saying, ^Alas, alas! that great city Babylon, that 
 mighty city ! z for in one hour is thy judgment come. 
 
 11 And "the merchants of the earth shall weep 
 and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their mer- 
 chandise any more : 
 
 12 4 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and 
 precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and 
 purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all || thyine wood, 
 and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner 
 vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and 
 iron, and marble, 
 
 13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and 
 frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and 
 wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and cha- 
 riots, and || slaves, and f souls of men. 
 
 14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are 
 departed from thee, and all things which were dain- 
 ty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou 
 shalt find them no more at all. 
 
 15 "The merchants of these things which wem 
 made rich by her, shall stand afar off, for the feai 
 of her torment, weeping and wailing, 
 
 16 And saying, Alas, alas ! that great city , 'that waa 
 clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and 
 decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls ! 
 
 17 J For m one hour so great riches is come to 
 nought. And s every ship-master, and all the com- 
 pany in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by 
 sea, stood afar off, 
 
 18 ''And cried, when they saw the smoke of htr 
 burning, saying, 'What city is like unto this great 
 city ! 
 
 19 And *they cast dust on their heads, and cried, 
 weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas! that great 
 city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in 
 the sea by reason of her costliness! 'for in one hour 
 is she made desolate.

The marriage of the Lamb. 
 
 REVELATION. 
 
 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 that great city BabA'lon be 
 thrown down, and ''shall be found no more at all. 
 
 22 "/And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and 
 of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at 
 all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft 
 he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the 
 sound of a mill-stone shall be heard no more at all 
 in thee; 
 
 23 r And the light of a candle shall shine no more 
 at all in thee; 'and the voice of the bridegroom 
 and of the bride shall be heard no more at all 
 in thee : for 'thy merchants were the great men 
 of the earth; "for by thy sorceries were all nations 
 deceived. 
 
 24 And *in her was found the blood of prophets, 
 and of saints, and of all that y were slain upon the 
 earth. 
 
 CHAP. XIX. 
 
 1 Godis praised in heaven for fudging the great whore, and avenging the blood 
 of his saints. 7 The marriage of the Lamb. 10 The angel will not be 
 worshipped. 17 The fowls called to the great slaughter. 
 
 \ ND after these things a I heard a great voice of 
 -£*- much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia: ''Sal- 
 vation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the 
 Lord our God : 
 
 2 For c true and righteous are his judgments : for 
 he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt 
 the earth with her fornication, and d 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 
 beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on 
 the throne, saying, *Amen; Alleluia. 
 
 5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, 
 * Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that 
 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 thunderings, saying, Alleluia: 
 for 'the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. 
 
 7 Let us be glad and rejoice, jmd give honour to 
 nim 
 his wife hath made herself ready 
 
 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 unto me,, Write/ Blessed are they 
 which are called unto the marriage-supper of the 
 Lamb. And he saith unto me, q These are the true 
 sayings of God. 
 
 10 And 'I fell at his feet to worship him. And 
 he said unto me, * See thou do it not : I am thy fel- 
 low-servant, and of thy brethren 'that have the tes- 
 timony of Jesus : worship God : for the testimony 
 of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. 
 
 11 "And I saw heaven opened, and behold, * a 
 white horse ; and he that sat upon him was called 
 'Faithful and True, and * in righteousness he doth 
 judge and make war. 
 
 12 "His eyes were as a flame of fire, *and on his 
 head vjere many crowns; r and he had a name writ- 
 ten, that no man knew, but he himself.

 him upon white horses, * clothed in fine linen, white

 false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with

 2 Satan bound for a thousand years. 5 The first resurrection : 6 They 
 blessed that have part therein. 7 Satan let loose again. 10 The devil 
 cast into the lake of fire and brimstone. 11 The general resurrection. 
 
 AND I saw an angel come down from heaven, 
 "having the key of the bottomless pit and a 
 great chain in his hand. 
 
 2 And he laid hold on A the dragon, that old ser- 
 pent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him 
 a thousand years, 
 
 3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut 
 him up, and ''set a seal upon him, 'that he should 
 deceive 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 upon them, 
 and ^judgment was given unto them : and / saw '' the 
 souls of them that were beheaded for the witness 
 of Jesus, and for the word of God, and 'which had 
 not worshipped the beast, * neither his image, neither 
 had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in 
 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 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the 
 first resurrection : on such m the second death hath 
 no power, but they shall be "priests of God and ot 
 Christ, "and shall reign with him a thousand years.

 9 'And they went up on the breadth of the earth,

 10 "And the devil that deceived them was cast 
 ir, to the lake of fire and brimstone, x where the beast 
 and the false prophet are, and y shall be tormented 
 day and night for ever and ever. 
 
 11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that 
 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; c and the books were opened: and an- 
 other ''book was opened, which is the book of life: 
 and the dead were judged out of those things which 
 were written in the books, 'according to their works.

 1 A new heaven and a new ear lh. 3 The blessedness of God's people. 8 The 
 judgment of the wicked. 10 A description of the heavenly Jerusalem. 
 
 AND a .l 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 c the holy city, new Jerusalem, 
 coming down from God out of heaven, prepared rf as 
 a bride adorned for her husband. 
 
 3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven, say- 
 ing Behold, "the tabernacle of God is with men, 
 and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his 
 people, and God himself shall be with them, and be 
 their God. 
 
 4 •'"And God shall wipe away all tears from their 
 eyes; ^and there shall be no more death, ''neither 
 sorrow, nor crying, neither shall 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 unto me, 
 Write: for 'these words are true and faithful. 
 
 6 And he said unto me, m It is done. " I am Alpha 
 and Omega, the beginning and the end. "I will give 
 unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water 
 of life freely. 
 
 7 He that overcometh shall inherit || all things ; 
 and fi I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

 cerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their 
 part in r the lake which burneth with fire and brim- 
 stone: which is the second death. 
 
 9 And there came unto me one of s the seven 
 angels, which 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

 11 y Having the glory of God: and her light teas 
 like unto a stone most precious, even Like a jag] 
 stone, clear as crystal; 
 
 12 And had a wall great and high, and had 
 x twelve gates, and at tbe 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 hid twelve founda- 
 tions, and 4 in them the names of the twelve apostles 
 of the Land). 
 
 15 And he that talked with me, c had a golden 
 reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and 
 the wall thereof. 
 
 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. Thn 
 length, and the breadth, and the height of it aifl 
 equal. 
 
 17 And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred 
 and forty and four cubits according to the measure 
 of a man, that is, of the angel. 
 
 18 And the building of the wall of it was of jas- 
 per: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear 
 glass. 
 
 19 rf And the foundations of the wall of the city 
 were garnished with all manner of precious stones. 
 The first foundation was jasper; the second, sap- 
 phire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an 
 emerald ; 
 
 20 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the 
 seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, 
 a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, 
 a jacinth ; the twelfth, an amethyst. 
 
 21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls ; 
 every several gate was of one pearl; 'and the street 
 of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent 
 glass. 
 
 22 f And I saw no temple therein : for the Lord 
 God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. 
 
 23 *And the city had no need of the sun, neither 
 of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God 
 did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. 
 
 24 ''And the nations of them which are saved 
 shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the 
 earth do 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 '" there shall in no wise enter into it any 
 thing that defileth, neither ivhaUoever worketh abom- 
 ination, or maketh a lie; but they which are written 
 in the Lamb's "Dook of life.

 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 be 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, proceeding out of the throne 
 of God and of the Lamb. 
 
 2 6 In the midst of the street of it, and on eithei 
 side of the river, was there "the tree of life, which 
 bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit 
 every month: and the leaves of the tree were M'oi 
 the healing of the nations.

 3 And 'there shall be no more curse: •''but the 
 throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and 
 his servants shall serve him : 
 
 4 And *they shall see his face; and A his name 
 shall be in their foreheads. 
 
 5 'And there shall be no night there; and they 
 need no candle, neither light of the sun ; for * the 
 Lord God giveth them light: 'and they shall reign 
 for ever and ever. 
 
 G And he said unto me, ""These sayings are faith- 
 ful and true. And the Lord God of the holy pro- 
 phets "sent his angel to shew unto his servants the 
 things which must shortly be done. 
 
 7 "Behold, I come quickly: ''blessed is he that 
 keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book. 
 
 8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. 
 And when I had heard and seen, ? I fell down to 
 worship before the feet of the angel which shewed 
 me these things. 
 
 9 Then saith he unto me, r See thou do it not: for 
 [ am thy fellow-servant, and of thy brethren the 
 prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of 
 this book : worship God. 
 
 10 'And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings 
 of the prophecy of this book: 'for the time is at 
 hand. 
 
 11 "He that is unjust, let him be unjust still : and 
 he which 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.

 1 will love thee, Lord, my strength.

 not be greatly moved.

 upon my mouth.

 For thy name's sake, O Lord, pardon my iniquity, for it is great ! | 
 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities. 
 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions ; 
 
 according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' 
 
 sake, O Lord. 
 Cast me not away from thy presence : and take not thy holy spirit 
 
 from me. 
 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation ; and uphold me with thy 
 
 free spirit. 
 
 Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall show forth thy 
 praise. 
 
 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit : a broken and a contrite 
 
 heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. 
 Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not. 
 Hear my voice according unto thy loving kindness : Lord, 
 
 quicken me according to thy judgment. 
 Let my soul lite, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments 
 
 help me. 
 
 1 have gone astray like a lost sheep ; seek thy servant ; for I do 
 not forget thy commandments. 
 
 Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my 
 
 thoughts. 
 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way 
 
 everlasting. 
 Show me thy ways, Lord ; teach me thy paths. 
 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my 
 
 salvation ; on thee do I wait all the day. 
 Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of 
 
 thy law. 
 
 that thou wouldst bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and 
 that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldst keep 
 me from evil, that it may not grieve me ! 
 
 1 will not let thee go, except thou bless me. 
 
 Remove far from me vanity and lies : give me neither poverty nor 
 
 riches; feed me with food convenient forme. 
 Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the Lord ? or lest I 
 
 be poor and steal, and take the name of my God in rain. 
 When a few years are come, then I shall go the way whence I 
 
 shall not return. 
 Lord make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, 
 
 what it is ; that I may know how frail 1 am. 
 
 INTERCESSION. 
 
 Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sin- 
 cerity. 
 
 Do good, Lord, unto those that be good, and to them that are 
 upright in their hearts. 
 
 that thou wouldst rend the heavens, that thou wouldst come 
 down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence. 
 
 send out thy light and thy truth. 
 
 Be thou exalted, God, above the heavens; let thy glory bo above 
 
 all the earth. 
 Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, who only doeth 
 
 wondrous things. 
 And blessed be his glorious name forever: and let the whole earth 
 
 be filled with his glory. Amen and Amen. 
 
 THANKSGIVING. 
 
 1 waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and 
 hoard my cry. 
 
 Many, Lord my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast 
 
 done, and thy thoughts which are to us ward : they cannot be 
 
 reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of 
 
 them, they are more than enn be numbered. 
 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, God! how great is 
 
 the sum of them! 
 If I should count them they are more in number than the sand : 
 
 when I awake I am still with thee. 
 Bless the Lord, my soul, and all that is within me, bless his 
 
 holy name. 
 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits. 
 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities, who healeth all thy diseases. 
 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction : who crownctb thee with 
 
 loving kindness and tender mercies. 
 What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits toward mo ? 
 I will take the cup of salvatior and call upon the name of the 
 
 Lord. 
 All thy works shall praise thee, Lord, and thy saints shall bless 
 
 thee. 
 For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people, ho will beautify tho 
 
 meek with salvation.
