On the same day the king consecrated the middle of the court that was before the house of the Lord, because there he offered the burnt offering and the grain offering and the fat of the peace offerings; for the bronze altar that was before the Lord was too small to hold the burnt offering and the grain offering and the fat of the peace offerings.

Therefore, the anger of the Lord burned against that land, to bring upon it every curse which is written in this book;

27303

27304

The priest shall value it as either good or bad; as you, the priest, value it, so it shall be.

A place of rivers and wide canals
On which no boat with oars will go,
And on which no mighty ship will pass—

27316

For all our days have declined in Your fury;
We have finished our years like a sigh.

27317

For the redemption of his soul is costly,
And he should cease trying forever—

27342

You will eat the old supply and clear out the old because of the new.

27343

27347

Then the man brought the men into Joseph’s house and gave them water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their donkeys fodder.

27352

“Because you have said, ‘These two nations and these two lands will be mine, and we will possess them,’ although the Lord was there,

27353

“Because you are glad, because you are jubilant,
O you who pillage My heritage,
Because you skip about like a threshing heifer
And neigh like stallions,

27354

“Therefore thus says the Lord, ‘You have not obeyed Me in proclaiming release each man to his brother and each man to his neighbor. Behold, I am proclaiming a release to you,’ declares the Lord, ‘to the sword, to the pestilence and to the famine; and I will make you a terror to all the kingdoms of the earth.

27355

To defraud a man in his lawsuit—
Of these things the Lord does not approve.

27356

“Your gates will be open continually;
They will not be closed day or night,
So that men may bring to you the wealth of the nations,
With their kings led in procession.

27357

Within a year and a few days
You will be troubled, O complacent daughters;

And the fruit gathering will not come.

Then all the officials sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to Baruch, saying, “Take in your hand the scroll from which you have read to the people and come.” So Baruch the son of Neriah took the scroll in his hand and went to them.

27359

to listen to the words of My servants the prophets, whom I have been sending to you again and again, but you have not listened;

27360

One thousand will flee at the threat of one man;
You will flee at the threat of five,
Until you are left as a flag on a mountain top
And as a signal on a hill.

27361

thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘Behold, I am sending upon them the sword, famine and pestilence, and I will make them like split-open figs that cannot be eaten due to rottenness.

27362

“Then I will cause your enemies to bring it
Into a land you do not know;
For a fire has been kindled in My anger,
It will burn upon you.”

27366

Of old I have known from Your testimonies
That You have founded them forever.

27367

Man in his pomp, yet without understanding,
Is like the beasts that perish.

27368

For evils beyond number have surrounded me;
My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to see;
They are more numerous than the hairs of my head,
And my heart has failed me.

27369

Your testimonies are fully confirmed;
Holiness befits Your house,
O Lord, forevermore.

27370

and the forks, the basins, and the pitchers of pure gold; and for the golden bowls with the weight for each bowl; and for the silver bowls with the weight for each bowl;

27371

the sons of Pashhur, 1,247;

27372

Moreover, all the utensils which King Ahaz had discarded during his reign in his unfaithfulness, we have prepared and consecrated; and behold, they are before the altar of the Lord.”

27373

“Then if you have anything to say, answer me;
Speak, for I desire to justify you.

So David and Abishai came to the people by night, and behold, Saul lay sleeping inside the circle of the camp with his spear stuck in the ground at his head; and Abner and the people were lying around him.

27375

O seed of Israel His servant,
Sons of Jacob, His chosen ones!

27376

The sons of Zophah were Suah, Harnepher, Shual, Beri and Imrah,

27377

Thus all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, united as one man.

27378

Their villages were Etam, Ain, Rimmon, Tochen and Ashan, five cities;

27379

Go now, make more sure, and investigate and see his place where his haunt is, and who has seen him there; for I am told that he is very cunning.

27380

six of their names on the one stone and the names of the remaining six on the other stone, according to their birth.

27381

They said, “Arise, and let us go up against them; for we have seen the land, and behold, it is very good. And will you sit still? Do not delay to go, to enter, to possess the land.

27382

Abimelech chased him, and he fled before him; and many fell wounded up to the entrance of the gate.

27383

Now behold, you have risen up in your fathers’ place, a brood of sinful men, to add still more to the burning anger of the Lord against Israel.

27384

Now in the evening he took his daughter Leah, and brought her to him; and Jacob went in to her.

27385

All the cities of the sons of Aaron, the priests, were thirteen cities with their pasture lands.

27386

and one cake of bread and one cake of bread mixed with oil and one wafer from the basket of unleavened bread which is set before the Lord;

27387

Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon.

27388

As for the sons of Israel’s half, which Moses separated from the men who had gone to war—

27389

A man found him, and behold, he was wandering in the field; and the man asked him, “What are you looking for?”

27390

From the sons of Israel’s half, you shall take one drawn out of every fifty of the persons, of the cattle, of the donkeys and of the sheep, from all the animals, and give them to the Levites who keep charge of the tabernacle of the Lord.”

27391

Then the maids came near with their children, and they bowed down.

27392

And he said to them, “Is it well with him?” And they said, “It is well, and here is Rachel his daughter coming with the sheep.”

27393

so that all the trees by the waters may not be exalted in their stature, nor set their top among the clouds, nor their well-watered mighty ones stand erect in their height. For they have all been given over to death, to the earth beneath, among the sons of men, with those who go down to the pit.”

27394

“There also are the chiefs of the north, all of them, and all the Sidonians, who in spite of the terror resulting from their might, in shame went down with the slain. So they lay down uncircumcised with those slain by the sword and bore their disgrace with those who go down to the pit.

27395

Then the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes at Riblah; the king of Babylon also slew all the nobles of Judah.

27396

The Chaldeans who are fighting against this city will enter and set this city on fire and burn it, with the houses where people have offered incense to Baal on their roofs and poured out drink offerings to other gods to provoke Me to anger.

27397

“But I will punish you according to the results of your deeds,” declares the Lord,
“And I will kindle a fire in its forest
That it may devour all its environs.”’”

27398

Therefore this iniquity will be to you
Like a breach about to fall,
A bulge in a high wall,
Whose collapse comes suddenly in an instant,

27399

and said to Jeremiah the prophet, “Please let our petition come before you, and pray for us to the Lord your God, that is for all this remnant; because we are left but a few out of many, as your own eyes now see us,

27400

As for a rogue, his weapons are evil;
He devises wicked schemes
To destroy the afflicted with slander,
Even though the needy one speaks what is right.

27401

“I will lay waste the mountains and hills
And wither all their vegetation;
I will make the rivers into coastlands
And dry up the ponds.

27402

He it is who reduces rulers to nothing,
Who makes the judges of the earth meaningless.

27586

Then they will answer, ‘Because they forsook the covenant of the Lord their God and bowed down to other gods and served them.’”

27587

Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,

27588

Which reaches to the neck,
To shake the nations back and forth in a sieve,
And to put in the jaws of the peoples the bridle which leads to ruin.

27589

Surely now you will be too cramped for the inhabitants,
And those who swallowed you will be far away.

The fugitives stand without strength;
For a fire has gone forth from Heshbon
And a flame from the midst of Sihon,
And it has devoured the forehead of Moab
And the scalps of the riotous revelers.

27620

Why do You hide Your face
And forget our affliction and our oppression?

27621

He changes rivers into a wilderness
And springs of water into a thirsty ground;

27622

So I went and hid it by the Euphrates, as the Lord had commanded me.

27623

The Lord of hosts has planned it, to defile the pride of all beauty,
To despise all the honored of the earth.

27624

There is no soundness in my flesh because of Your indignation;
There is no health in my bones because of my sin.

27625

I will also take some of them for priests and for Levites,” says the Lord.

27627

Who has declared this from the beginning, that we might know?
Or from former times, that we may say, “He is right!”?
Surely there was no one who declared,
Surely there was no one who proclaimed,
Surely there was no one who heard your words.

27628

They did not destroy the peoples,
As the Lord commanded them,

27629

Then he died in a ripe old age, full of days, riches and honor; and his son Solomon reigned in his place.

27630

“Clubs are regarded as stubble;
He laughs at the rattling of the javelin.

27631

“You know, for you were born then,
And the number of your days is great!

27632

Now at the completion of the burnt offerings, the king and all who were present with him bowed down and worshiped.

27633

the sons of Reaiah, the sons of Rezin, the sons of Nekoda,

27634

All the officials, the mighty men, and also all the sons of King David pledged allegiance to King Solomon.

27635

I will establish his kingdom forever if he resolutely performs My commandments and My ordinances, as is done now.’

27636

for the half-tribe of Manasseh in Gilead, Iddo the son of Zechariah; for Benjamin, Jaasiel the son of Abner;

27637

Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him in front and in the rear, he selected from all the choice men of Israel and they arrayed themselves against the Arameans.

27638

“I pursued my enemies and destroyed them,
And I did not turn back until they were consumed.

27639

So Achish believed David, saying, “He has surely made himself odious among his people Israel; therefore he will become my servant forever.”

27640

They destroyed the remnant of the Amalekites who escaped, and have lived there to this day.

27642

the tabernacle, its tent and its covering, its hooks and its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets;

27643

And David lived with Achish at Gath, he and his men, each with his household, even David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal’s widow.

27644

Behold, all you sons of Israel, give your advice and counsel here.”

27646

of Jezer, the family of the Jezerites; of Shillem, the family of the Shillemites.

27647

Then you shall cut the ram into its pieces, and wash its entrails and its legs, and put them with its pieces and its head.

27648

You shall make fifty loops in the one curtain, and you shall make fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that is in the second set; the loops shall be opposite each other.

27649

When you reached this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon and Og the king of Bashan came out to meet us for battle, but we defeated them;

27650

And again he denied it with an oath, “I do not know the man.”

27651

So Moses took the ransom money from those who were in excess, beyond those ransomed by the Levites;

27652

Now they were seated before him, the firstborn according to his birthright and the youngest according to his youth, and the men looked at one another in astonishment.

27653

and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, “Behold, I am going to send and get Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, My servant, and I am going to set his throne right over these stones that I have hidden; and he will spread his canopy over them.

27654

Then Hanamel my uncle’s son came to me in the court of the guard according to the word of the Lord and said to me, ‘Buy my field, please, that is at Anathoth, which is in the land of Benjamin; for you have the right of possession and the redemption is yours; buy it for yourself.’ Then I knew that this was the word of the Lord.

27655

In the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh of the month, the word of the Lord came to me saying,

27656

You have covered Yourself with anger
And pursued us;
You have slain and have not spared.

27657

Both their own iniquities and the iniquities of their fathers together,” says the Lord.
“Because they have burned incense on the mountains
And scorned Me on the hills,
Therefore I will measure their former work into their bosom.”

27658

and the Levitical priests shall never lack a man before Me to offer burnt offerings, to burn grain offerings and to prepare sacrifices continually.’”

27659

For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, “Houses and fields and vineyards will again be bought in this land.”’

27660

Then Jeremiah spoke to all the officials and to all the people, saying, “The Lord sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that you have heard.

27661

“Behold, it is written before Me,
I will not keep silent, but I will repay;
I will even repay into their bosom,

27662

Then I went to the Euphrates and dug, and I took the waistband from the place where I had hidden it; and lo, the waistband was ruined, it was totally worthless.

27663

Now, O Lord our God, deliver us from his hand that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that You alone, Lord, are God.”

27664

For their calamity will rise suddenly,
And who knows the ruin that comes from both of them?

27665

So their slain will be thrown out,
And their corpses will give off their stench,
And the mountains will be drenched with their blood.

27666

The Lord builds up Jerusalem;
He gathers the outcasts of Israel.

27667

I will meditate on all Your work
And muse on Your deeds.

27668

My eyes anticipate the night watches,
That I may meditate on Your word.

27670

You have ordained Your precepts,
That we should keep them diligently.

27671

“The earth and all who dwell in it melt;
It is I who have firmly set its pillars. Selah.

27672

“Shall I wait, because they do not speak,
Because they stop and no longer answer?

27673

But the woman said to him, “Behold, you know what Saul has done, how he has cut off those who are mediums and spiritists from the land. Why are you then laying a snare for my life to bring about my death?”

27674

the sons of Besai, the sons of Meunim, the sons of Nephushesim,

27675

The gatekeepers: the sons of Shallum, the sons of Ater, the sons of Talmon, the sons of Akkub, the sons of Hatita, the sons of Shobai, 138.

27676

the sons of Uzza, the sons of Paseah, the sons of Besai,

27677

Then they brought the male goats of the sin offering before the king and the assembly, and they laid their hands on them.

27678

and forgive Your people who have sinned against You and all their transgressions which they have transgressed against You, and make them objects of compassion before those who have taken them captive, that they may have compassion on them

27679

the sons of Magbish, 156;

27680

God did so that night; for it was dry only on the fleece, and dew was on all the ground.

27681

Although Ahaz took a portion out of the house of the Lord and out of the palace of the king and of the princes, and gave it to the king of Assyria, it did not help him.

27682

So the priests and the Levites consecrated themselves to bring up the ark of the Lord God of Israel.

27683

He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.

27684

All Judah was standing before the Lord, with their infants, their wives and their children.

27685

“Your hands were not bound, nor your feet put in fetters;
As one falls before the wicked, you have fallen.”
And all the people wept again over him.

27686

The Lord has done accordingly as He spoke through me; for the Lord has torn the kingdom out of your hand and given it to your neighbor, to David.

27687

To the sons of Aaron they gave the following cities of refuge: Hebron, Libnah also with its pasture lands, Jattir, Eshtemoa with its pasture lands,

27688

and thus you shall say, ‘Have a long life, peace be to you, and peace be to your house, and peace be to all that you have.

27689

It came about the next day that the people arose early and built an altar there and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings.

27690

The men of Judah said, “Why have you come up against us?” And they said, “We have come up to bind Samson in order to do to him as he did to us.”

27691

Now the sons of Israel gave by lot to the Levites these cities with their pasture lands, as the Lord had commanded through Moses.

27692

When they finished apportioning the land for inheritance by its borders, the sons of Israel gave an inheritance in their midst to Joshua the son of Nun.

27693

Had I not feared the provocation by the enemy,
That their adversaries would misjudge,
That they would say, “Our hand is triumphant,
And the Lord has not done all this.”’

27694

But those who died by the plague were 14,700, besides those who died on account of Korah.

27695

These are the names of the men who shall apportion the land to you for inheritance: Eleazar the priest and Joshua the son of Nun.

27696

“How boastful you are about the valleys!
Your valley is flowing away,
O backsliding daughter
Who trusts in her treasures, saying,
Who will come against me?’

27697

And they mounted four rows of stones on it. The first row was a row of ruby, topaz, and emerald;

27698

You shall make poles for the altar, poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with bronze.

27699

On the sixth day it was Eliasaph the son of Deuel, leader of the sons of Gad;

27700

Now Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the Lord had commanded Moses.

27701

All the pegs of the tabernacle and of the court all around were of bronze.

27702

The overlapping part that is left over in the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that is left over, shall lap over the back of the tabernacle.

27703

the ark and its poles, the mercy seat, and the curtain of the screen;

27704

Send one of you that he may get your brother, while you remain confined, that your words may be tested, whether there is truth in you. But if not, by the life of Pharaoh, surely you are spies.”

27705

Also I have sent to you all My servants the prophets, sending them again and again, saying: ‘Turn now every man from his evil way and amend your deeds, and do not go after other gods to worship them. Then you will dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your forefathers; but you have not inclined your ear or listened to Me.

27706

Then Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to speak with him.

27707

If it has been put into the fire for fuel, and the fire has consumed both of its ends and its middle part has been charred, is it then useful for anything?

27708

We have heard of the pride of Moab—he is very proud—
Of his haughtiness, his pride, his arrogance and his self-exaltation.

27709

All the people of the land shall give to this offering for the prince in Israel.

27710

“Woe to him who says to a father, ‘What are you begetting?’
Or to a woman, ‘To what are you giving birth?’”

27711

but Baruch the son of Neriah is inciting you against us to give us over into the hand of the Chaldeans, so they will put us to death or exile us to Babylon.”

27712

Now King Zedekiah sent and took him out; and in his palace the king secretly asked him and said, “Is there a word from the Lord?” And Jeremiah said, “There is!” Then he said, “You will be given into the hand of the king of Babylon!”

27713

then I will make this house like Shiloh, and this city I will make a curse to all the nations of the earth.”’”

27714

Your spoil is gathered as the caterpillar gathers;
As locusts rushing about men rush about on it.

27715

“Then say to the household of the king of Judah, ‘Hear the word of the Lord,

27716

And He removed the defense of Judah.
In that day you depended on the weapons of the house of the forest,

27717

“Therefore the safety of Pharaoh will be your shame
And the shelter in the shadow of Egypt, your humiliation.

27718

For they have fled from the swords,
From the drawn sword, and from the bent bow
And from the press of battle.

27720

I will give thanks to You, O Lord, among the peoples,
And I will sing praises to You among the nations.

27721

His tabernacle is in Salem;
His dwelling place also is in Zion.

27722

He said to her, “If they bind me tightly with new ropes which have not been used, then I will become weak and be like any other man.”

27723

“But if you have understanding, hear this;
Listen to the sound of my words.

27724

And Amaziah, the son of Joash king of Judah, lived fifteen years after the death of Joash, son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel.

27725

So Joash king of Israel went up, and he and Amaziah king of Judah faced each other at Beth-shemesh, which belonged to Judah.

27726

He did evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father had done.

27727

He said, “What have they seen in your house?” So Hezekiah answered, “They have seen all that is in my house; there is nothing among my treasuries that I have not shown them.”

27728

He engraved on the plates of its stays and on its borders, cherubim, lions and palm trees, according to the clear space on each, with wreaths all around.

27729

In Israel his name shall be called, ‘The house of him whose sandal is removed.’

27730

For the curse, these shall stand on Mount Ebal: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.

27731

Why should the name of our father be withdrawn from among his family because he had no son? Give us a possession among our father’s brothers.”

27732

For it is a jubilee; it shall be holy to you. You shall eat its crops out of the field.

27733

Moses said to them, “If the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben, everyone who is armed for battle, will cross with you over the Jordan in the presence of the Lord, and the land is subdued before you, then you shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession;

27734

Of the sons of Joseph: of the tribe of the sons of Manasseh a leader, Hanniel the son of Ephod.

27735

They brought the captives and the prey and the spoil to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest and to the congregation of the sons of Israel, to the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by the Jordan opposite Jericho.

27736

of Jashub, the family of the Jashubites; of Shimron, the family of the Shimronites.

27737

When you are sowing the eighth year, you can still eat old things from the crop, eating the old until the ninth year when its crop comes in.

27738

They made the onyx stones, set in gold filigree settings; they were engraved like the engravings of a signet, according to the names of the sons of Israel.

27739

Joseph said to his father, “They are my sons, whom God has given me here.” So he said, “Bring them to me, please, that I may bless them.”

27740

“By your great wisdom, by your trade
You have increased your riches
And your heart is lifted up because of your riches—

27741

He made a mercy seat of pure gold, two and a half cubits long and one and a half cubits wide.

27742

He made loops of blue on the edge of the outermost curtain in the first set; he did likewise on the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the second set.

27743

So the field and the cave that is in it, were deeded over to Abraham for a burial site by the sons of Heth.

27744

Early in the morning Laban arose, and kissed his sons and his daughters and blessed them. Then Laban departed and returned to his place.

27745

These were the sons of Esau’s wife Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah and the granddaughter of Zibeon: she bore to Esau, Jeush and Jalam and Korah.

27746

Then you will remember your evil ways and your deeds that were not good, and you will loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and your abominations.

27747

“The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, which he commanded his sons not to drink wine, are observed. So they do not drink wine to this day, for they have obeyed their father’s command. But I have spoken to you again and again; yet you have not listened to Me.

27748

“The east side, from between Hauran, Damascus, Gilead and the land of Israel, shall be the Jordan; from the north border to the eastern sea you shall measure. This is the east side.

27749

For a nation has come up against her out of the north; it will make her land an object of horror, and there will be no inhabitant in it. Both man and beast have wandered off, they have gone away!

27750

The Lord has brought about our vindication;
Come and let us recount in Zion
The work of the Lord our God!

27751

Your mother will be greatly ashamed,
She who gave you birth will be humiliated.
Behold, she will be the least of the nations,
A wilderness, a parched land and a desert.

27752

You have swept them away like a flood, they fall asleep;
In the morning they are like grass which sprouts anew.

27753

Jerusalem and the cities of Judah and its kings and its princes, to make them a ruin, a horror, a hissing and a curse, as it is this day;

27754

Cursed be the man who brought the news
To my father, saying,
“A baby boy has been born to you!”
And made him very happy.

27755

Fields will be bought in this land of which you say, “It is a desolation, without man or beast; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.”

27756

The coastlands have seen and are afraid;
The ends of the earth tremble;
They have drawn near and have come.

27757

Your tongue devises destruction,
Like a sharp razor, O worker of deceit.

27758

Her gain and her harlot’s wages will be set apart to the Lord; it will not be stored up or hoarded, but her gain will become sufficient food and choice attire for those who dwell in the presence of the Lord.

27759

Let my meditation be pleasing to Him;
As for me, I shall be glad in the Lord.

27760

The king’s favor is toward a servant who acts wisely,
But his anger is toward him who acts shamefully.

27761

Let them praise Your great and awesome name;
Holy is He.

27762

I will establish your seed forever
And build up your throne to all generations.” Selah.

27763

Your way was in the sea
And Your paths in the mighty waters,
And Your footprints may not be known.

27764

For our heart rejoices in Him,
Because we trust in His holy name.

27765

I hate the assembly of evildoers,
And I will not sit with the wicked.

27766

Should evil come upon us, the sword, or judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we will stand before this house and before You (for Your name is in this house) and cry to You in our distress, and You will hear and deliver us.’

27767

Then the two choirs took their stand in the house of God. So did I and half of the officials with me;

27768

His officers also contributed a freewill offering to the people, the priests and the Levites. Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, the officials of the house of God, gave to the priests for the Passover offerings 2,600 from the flocks and 300 bulls.

27769

“Behold, we are slaves today,
And as to the land which You gave to our fathers to eat of its fruit and its bounty,
Behold, we are slaves in it.

27770

Has not the same Hezekiah taken away His high places and His altars, and said to Judah and Jerusalem, “You shall worship before one altar, and on it you shall burn incense”?

27771

Shimei the Ramathite had charge of the vineyards; and Zabdi the Shiphmite had charge of the produce of the vineyards stored in the wine cellars.

27772

for Judah, Elihu, one of David’s brothers; for Issachar, Omri the son of Michael;

27773

Then Saul immediately fell full length upon the ground and was very afraid because of the words of Samuel; also there was no strength in him, for he had eaten no food all day and all night.

27774

Shebuel the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, was officer over the treasures.

27775

and Joel and Jehu the son of Joshibiah, the son of Seraiah, the son of Asiel,

27776

Then he said, “If they have come out for peace, take them alive; or if they have come out for war, take them alive.”

27777

For all of you have conspired against me so that there is no one who discloses to me when my son makes a covenant with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you who is sorry for me or discloses to me that my son has stirred up my servant against me to lie in ambush, as it is this day.”

27778

Ephah, Caleb’s concubine, bore Haran, Moza and Gazez; and Haran became the father of Gazez.

27779

They turned aside there and came to the house of the young man, the Levite, to the house of Micah, and asked him of his welfare.

27780

‘As for the western border, you shall have the Great Sea, that is, its coastline; this shall be your west border.

27781

But the fields of the city and its villages they gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh as his possession.

27782

and Janum and Beth-tappuah and Aphekah,

27783

Then Moses commanded the sons of Israel according to the word of the Lord, saying, “The tribe of the sons of Joseph are right in their statements.

27784

If it be from five years even to twenty years old then your valuation for the male shall be twenty shekels and for the female ten shekels.

27785

They journeyed from Hazeroth and camped at Rithmah.

27786

Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the sons of Israel and the cattle of the Levites. And the Levites shall be Mine; I am the Lord.

27787

But among these there was not a man of those who were numbered by Moses and Aaron the priest, who numbered the sons of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai.

27788

or if a man touches any teeming things by which he is made unclean, or any man by whom he is made unclean, whatever his uncleanness;

27789

and the spice and the oil for the light and for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense.

27790

And he placed them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod, as memorial stones for the sons of Israel, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

27791

They received from Moses all the contributions which the sons of Israel had brought to perform the work in the construction of the sanctuary. And they still continued bringing to him freewill offerings every morning.

27792

“When he saw that a resting place was good
And that the land was pleasant,
He bowed his shoulder to bear burdens,
And became a slave at forced labor.

27793

To each of them he gave changes of garments, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and five changes of garments.

27794

After he had buried his father, Joseph returned to Egypt, he and his brothers, and all who had gone up with him to bury his father.

27795

The sons of Zebulun: Sered and Elon and Jahleel.

27796

Please let my lord pass on before his servant, and I will proceed at my leisure, according to the pace of the cattle that are before me and according to the pace of the children, until I come to my lord at Seir.”

27797

So Jacob named the place where God had spoken with him, Bethel.

27798

“And beside the border of Judah, from the east side to the west side, shall be the allotment which you shall set apart, 25,000 cubits in width, and in length like one of the portions, from the east side to the west side; and the sanctuary shall be in the middle of it.

27799

“For forty years I loathed that generation,
And said they are a people who err in their heart,
And they do not know My ways.

27800

Then Esau said, “Let us take our journey and go, and I will go before you.”

27801

And they shall not marry a widow or a divorced woman but shall take virgins from the offspring of the house of Israel, or a widow who is the widow of a priest.

27802

None of his sins that he has committed will be remembered against him. He has practiced justice and righteousness; he shall surely live.

27803

Thus they were haughty and committed abominations before Me. Therefore I removed them when I saw it.

27804

“Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir, and prophesy against it

27805

Elam is there and all her hordes around her grave; all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who went down uncircumcised to the lower parts of the earth, who instilled their terror in the land of the living and bore their disgrace with those who went down to the pit.

27806

You have made us mere offscouring and refuse
In the midst of the peoples.

27807

“All who came upon them have devoured them;
And their adversaries have said, ‘We are not guilty,
Inasmuch as they have sinned against the Lord who is the habitation of righteousness,
Even the Lord, the hope of their fathers.’

27808

I will send the sword, the famine and the pestilence upon them until they are destroyed from the land which I gave to them and their forefathers.’”

27809

Then some of the elders of the land rose up and spoke to all the assembly of the people, saying,

27810

Return to Him from whom you have deeply defected, O sons of Israel.

27811

My mouth will speak the praise of the Lord,
And all flesh will bless His holy name forever and ever.

27812

O God of hosts, restore us
And cause Your face to shine upon us, and we will be saved.

27813

“For they call themselves after the holy city
And lean on the God of Israel;
The Lord of hosts is His name.

27814

“With reproofs You chasten a man for iniquity;
You consume as a moth what is precious to him;
Surely every man is a mere breath. Selah.

27817

The humble have seen it and are glad;
You who seek God, let your heart revive.

27818

Lord, how long will You look on?
Rescue my soul from their ravages,
My only life from the lions.

27819

Let me not be put to shame, O Lord, for I call upon You;
Let the wicked be put to shame, let them be silent in Sheol.

27820

I shall wash my hands in innocence,
And I will go about Your altar, O Lord,

27821

“Behind him he makes a wake to shine;
One would think the deep to be gray-haired.

27822

Some of the heads of fathers’ households gave into the treasury of the work 20,000 gold drachmas and 2,200 silver minas.

27823

“Behold, all of you have seen it;
Why then do you act foolishly?

27824

Hadid, Zeboim, Neballat,

27825

the sons of Neziah, the sons of Hatipha.

27826

The Levites stood with the musical instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.

27827

And many were bringing gifts to the Lord at Jerusalem and choice presents to Hezekiah king of Judah, so that he was exalted in the sight of all nations thereafter.

27828

He was hidden with them in the house of God six years while Athaliah reigned over the land.

27829

He said, “Let him alone; let no one disturb his bones.” So they left his bones undisturbed with the bones of the prophet who came from Samaria.

27830

(for they will hear of Your great name and Your mighty hand, and of Your outstretched arm); when he comes and prays toward this house,

27831

The sons of Shemer were Ahi and Rohgah, Jehubbah and Aram.

27832

To the rest of the Levites, the sons of Merari, were given, from the tribe of Zebulun: Rimmono with its pasture lands, Tabor with its pasture lands;

27833

When he had brought him down, behold, they were spread over all the land, eating and drinking and dancing because of all the great spoil that they had taken from the land of the Philistines and from the land of Judah.

27834

Cursed is he who strikes his neighbor in secret.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’

27835

He said, “Behold, it is still high day; it is not time for the livestock to be gathered. Water the sheep, and go, pasture them.”

27836

girded with belts on their loins, with flowing turbans on their heads, all of them looking like officers, like the Babylonians in Chaldea, the land of their birth.

27837

Now there stood by him one of Joab’s young men, and said, “Whoever favors Joab and whoever is for David, let him follow Joab.”

27838

So Joseph went up to bury his father, and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his household and all the elders of the land of Egypt,

27839

Then Joseph took them from his knees, and bowed with his face to the ground.

27840

They told him, saying, “Joseph is still alive, and indeed he is ruler over all the land of Egypt.” But he was stunned, for he did not believe them.

27841

But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left some of the poorest of the land to be vinedressers and plowmen.

27842

Rachel’s maid Bilhah conceived again and bore Jacob a second son.

27843

Then she conceived again and bore a son and named him Onan.

27844

The thresholds, the latticed windows and the galleries round about their three stories, opposite the threshold, were paneled with wood all around, and from the ground to the windows (but the windows were covered),

27845

For the Lord is going to destroy Babylon,
And He will make her loud noise vanish from her.
And their waves will roar like many waters;
The tumult of their voices sounds forth.

27846

The Lord has opened His armory
And has brought forth the weapons of His indignation,
For it is a work of the Lord God of hosts
In the land of the Chaldeans.

27847

Then King Zedekiah gave commandment, and they committed Jeremiah to the court of the guardhouse and gave him a loaf of bread daily from the bakers’ street, until all the bread in the city was gone. So Jeremiah remained in the court of the guardhouse.

27848

against Kerioth, Bozrah and all the cities of the land of Moab, far and near.

27849

Come down from your glory
And sit on the parched ground,
O daughter dwelling in Dibon,
For the destroyer of Moab has come up against you,
He has ruined your strongholds.

27850

So Nebuzaradan the captain of the bodyguard sent word, along with Nebushazban the Rab-saris, and Nergal-sar-ezer the Rab-mag, and all the leading officers of the king of Babylon;

27851

Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading from the book the words of the Lord in the Lord’s house.

27852

“He will be buried with a donkey’s burial,
Dragged off and thrown out beyond the gates of Jerusalem.

27853

(For many nations and great kings will make slaves of them, even them; and I will recompense them according to their deeds and according to the work of their hands.)’”

27854

As fire kindles the brushwood, as fire causes water to boil—
To make Your name known to Your adversaries,
That the nations may tremble at Your presence!

27855

Have you not heard?
Long ago I did it,
From ancient times I planned it.
Now I have brought it to pass,
That you should turn fortified cities into ruinous heaps.

27856

Their webs will not become clothing,
Nor will they cover themselves with their works;
Their works are works of iniquity,
And an act of violence is in their hands.

27857

Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim? And when have they delivered Samaria from my hand?

27858

Your sons have fainted,
They lie helpless at the head of every street,
Like an antelope in a net,
Full of the wrath of the Lord,
The rebuke of your God.

27859

“Of whom were you worried and fearful
When you lied, and did not remember Me
Nor give Me a thought?
Was I not silent even for a long time
So you do not fear Me?

27860

The tree snake will make its nest and lay eggs there,
And it will hatch and gather them under its protection.
Yes, the hawks will be gathered there,
Every one with its kind.

27861

The lambs will be for your clothing,
And the goats will bring the price of a field,

27862

Its nobles—there is no one there
Whom they may proclaim king—
And all its princes will be nothing.

27863

That the generation to come might know, even the children yet to be born,
That they may arise and tell them to their children,

27864

My eyes shed streams of water,
Because they do not keep Your law.

27865

Then Phinehas stood up and interposed,
And so the plague was stayed.

27867

So we Your people and the sheep of Your pasture
Will give thanks to You forever;
To all generations we will tell of Your praise.

27868

He wrought wonders before their fathers
In the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.

27870

Awake, my glory!
Awake, harp and lyre!
I will awaken the dawn.

27871

Let the rivers clap their hands,
Let the mountains sing together for joy

27872

She will be led to the King in embroidered work;
The virgins, her companions who follow her,
Will be brought to You.

27873

I will remember my song in the night;
I will meditate with my heart,
And my spirit ponders:

27874

Then the king sent and gathered all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.

27875

The temple servants: the sons of Ziha, the sons of Hasupha, the sons of Tabbaoth,

27876

Azarel, Shelemiah, Shemariah,

27877

Now many people were gathered at Jerusalem to celebrate the Feast of Unleavened Bread in the second month, a very large assembly.

27878

They have also shut the doors of the porch and put out the lamps, and have not burned incense or offered burnt offerings in the holy place to the God of Israel.

27879

There had not been celebrated a Passover like it in Israel since the days of Samuel the prophet; nor had any of the kings of Israel celebrated such a Passover as Josiah did with the priests, the Levites, all Judah and Israel who were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

27880

So the Lord saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria and from the hand of all others, and guided them on every side.

27881

Moreover, there are many workmen with you, stonecutters and masons of stone and carpenters, and all men who are skillful in every kind of work.

27882

He brought in the priests and the Levites and gathered them into the square on the east.

27883

He sacrificed and burned incense on the high places, on the hills and under every green tree.

27884

for the seventeenth to Joshbekashah, his sons and his relatives, twelve;

27885

The four wheels were underneath the borders, and the axles of the wheels were on the stand. And the height of a wheel was a cubit and a half.

27886

Then I pulverized them as the dust of the earth;
I crushed and stamped them as the mire of the streets.

27887

and Moza became the father of Binea and Rephaiah his son, Eleasah his son, Azel his son.

27888

Mikloth became the father of Shimeah. And they also lived with their relatives in Jerusalem opposite their other relatives.

27889

But if you are unable to tell me, then you shall give me thirty linen wraps and thirty changes of clothes.” And they said to him, “Propound your riddle, that we may hear it.”

27890

Or if the man with the discharge spits on one who is clean, he too shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until evening.

27891

But the men of Israel answered the men of Judah and said, “We have ten parts in the king, therefore we also have more claim on David than you. Why then did you treat us with contempt? Was it not our advice first to bring back our king?” Yet the words of the men of Judah were harsher than the words of the men of Israel.

27892

and whoever sits on the thing on which the man with the discharge has been sitting, shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until evening.

27893

So when David returned from killing the Philistine, Abner took him and brought him before Saul with the Philistine’s head in his hand.

27894

The six hundred men armed with their weapons of war, who were of the sons of Dan, stood by the entrance of the gate.

27895

So the sons of Israel arose in the morning and camped against Gibeah.

27896

Thus there fell ten portions to Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead and Bashan, which is beyond the Jordan,

27897

You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt; therefore I am commanding you to do this thing.

27898

everything that can stand the fire, you shall pass through the fire, and it shall be clean, but it shall be purified with water for impurity. But whatever cannot stand the fire you shall pass through the water.

27899

You shall remain outside, and the man to whom you make the loan shall bring the pledge out to you.

27900

For the Lord had said of them, “They shall surely die in the wilderness.” And not a man was left of them, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun.

27901

Then they hammered out gold sheets and cut them into threads to be woven in with the blue and the purple and the scarlet material, and the fine linen, the work of a skillful workman.

27902

They journeyed from Marah and came to Elim; and in Elim there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees, and they camped there.

27903

The name of the daughter of Asher was Serah.

27904

These are the families of the sons of Gad according to those who were numbered of them, 40,500.

27905

You shall join five curtains by themselves and the other six curtains by themselves, and you shall double over the sixth curtain at the front of the tent.

27906

the altar of burnt offering with its bronze grating, its poles, and all its utensils, the basin and its stand;

27907

He asked the men of her place, saying, “Where is the temple prostitute who was by the road at Enaim?” But they said, “There has been no temple prostitute here.”

27908

And when they say to you, ‘Why do you groan?’ you shall say, ‘Because of the news that is coming; and every heart will melt, all hands will be feeble, every spirit will faint and all knees will be weak as water. Behold, it comes and it will happen,’ declares the Lord God.”

27909

When Judah and his brothers came to Joseph’s house, he was still there, and they fell to the ground before him.

27910

Jacob said to them, “My brothers, where are you from?” And they said, “We are from Haran.”

27911

(though he himself did not do any of these things), that is, he even eats at the mountain shrines, and defiles his neighbor’s wife,

27912

‘You will die the death of the uncircumcised
By the hand of strangers,
For I have spoken!’ declares the Lord God!”’”

27913

because Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, “Why do you prophesy, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord, “Behold, I am about to give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will take it;

27914

“Then you will say in your heart,
‘Who has begotten these for me,
Since I have been bereaved of my children
And am barren, an exile and a wanderer?
And who has reared these?
Behold, I was left alone;
From where did these come?’”

27915

Look to the right and see;
For there is no one who regards me;
There is no escape for me;
No one cares for my soul.

27917

“As I live,” declares the King
Whose name is the Lord of hosts,
“Surely one shall come who looms up like Tabor among the mountains,
Or like Carmel by the sea.

27918

Listen to Me, you stubborn-minded,
Who are far from righteousness.

27919

When the report reaches Egypt,
They will be in anguish at the report of Tyre.

27920

Oh that my ways may be established
To keep Your statutes!

27921

“So I will establish his descendants forever
And his throne as the days of heaven.

27922

Will You perform wonders for the dead?
Will the departed spirits rise and praise You? Selah.

27923

Yet He commanded the clouds above
And opened the doors of heaven;

27924

The Lord loves the gates of Zion
More than all the other dwelling places of Jacob.

27925

“If not, listen to me;
Keep silent, and I will teach you wisdom.”

27926

“For I do not know how to flatter,
Else my Maker would soon take me away.

27927

Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the keeper of the eastern gate, was over the freewill offerings of God, to apportion the contributions for the Lord and the most holy things.

27929

When he came to the king, the king said to him, “Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I refrain?” He said, “Go up and succeed, for they will be given into your hand.”

27930

for the fourteenth, Mattithiah, his sons and his relatives, twelve;

27931

The sons of Ulla were Arah, Hanniel and Rizia.

27932

Heber became the father of Japhlet, Shomer and Hotham, and Shua their sister.

27933

Ziza the son of Shiphi, the son of Allon, the son of Jedaiah, the son of Shimri, the son of Shemaiah;

27934

Then the king said, “Turn aside and stand here.” So he turned aside and stood still.

27935

Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘When you cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan,

27936

Also whoever touches the person with the discharge shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until evening.

27937

The sons of Jahdai were Regem, Jotham, Geshan, Pelet, Ephah and Shaaph.

27938

Then Shimei arose and saddled his donkey, and went to Gath to Achish to look for his servants. And Shimei went and brought his servants from Gath.

27939

Foreigners pretend obedience to me;
As soon as they hear, they obey me.

27940

and Jehud and Bene-berak and Gath-rimmon,

27941

Then they burned all their cities where they lived and all their camps with fire.

27942

The south side belonged to Ephraim and the north side to Manasseh, and the sea was their border; and they reached to Asher on the north and to Issachar on the east.

27943

And the border shall go down to the Jordan and its termination shall be at the Salt Sea. This shall be your land according to its borders all around.’”

27944

Then he shall take the cedar wood and the hyssop and the scarlet string, with the live bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird as well as in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times.

27945

Of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim a leader, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan.

27946

then the priest shall calculate for him the amount of your valuation up to the year of jubilee; and he shall on that day give your valuation as holy to the Lord.

27947

Moreover, he made the veil of blue and purple and scarlet material, and fine twisted linen; he made it with cherubim, the work of a skillful workman.

27948

These are the numbered men of the Kohathite families, everyone who was serving in the tent of meeting, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the commandment of the Lord through Moses.

27949

Jacob did so and completed her week, and he gave him his daughter Rachel as his wife.

27950

He made the boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards for the south side;

27951

and two chains of pure gold; you shall make them of twisted cordage work, and you shall put the corded chains on the filigree settings.

27952

Then he fell on his brother Benjamin’s neck and wept, and Benjamin wept on his neck.

27953

therefore, behold, I am going to give you to the sons of the east for a possession, and they will set their encampments among you and make their dwellings among you; they will eat your fruit and drink your milk.

27954

The Chaldeans also burned with fire the king’s palace and the houses of the people, and they broke down the walls of Jerusalem.

27955

In the twelfth year, on the fifteenth of the month, the word of the Lord came to me saying,

27956

“She has wearied Me with toil,
Yet her great rust has not gone from her;
Let her rust be in the fire!

27957

I will lay My vengeance on Edom by the hand of My people Israel. Therefore, they will act in Edom according to My anger and according to My wrath; thus they will know My vengeance,” declares the Lord God.

27958

Come forth from her midst, My people,
And each of you save yourselves
From the fierce anger of the Lord.

27959

Yet you turned and profaned My name, and each man took back his male servant and each man his female servant whom you had set free according to their desire, and you brought them into subjection to be your male servants and female servants.”’

27960

“Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, ‘You yourselves have seen all the calamity that I have brought on Jerusalem and all the cities of Judah; and behold, this day they are in ruins and no one lives in them,

27961

“Kerioth has been captured
And the strongholds have been seized,
So the hearts of the mighty men of Moab in that day
Will be like the heart of a woman in labor.

27962

And they remembered that God was their rock,
And the Most High God their Redeemer.

27963

then My covenant may also be broken with David My servant so that he will not have a son to reign on his throne, and with the Levitical priests, My ministers.

27964

‘All your lovers have forgotten you,
They do not seek you;
For I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy,
With the punishment of a cruel one,
Because your iniquity is great
And your sins are numerous.

27965

No lion will be there,
Nor will any vicious beast go up on it;
These will not be found there.
But the redeemed will walk there,

27966

So I will hurl you out of this land into the land which you have not known, neither you nor your fathers; and there you will serve other gods day and night, for I will grant you no favor.’

27967

For out of Jerusalem will go forth a remnant and out of Mount Zion survivors. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.”’

27968

For I have heard the slander of many,
Terror is on every side;
While they took counsel together against me,
They schemed to take away my life.

27969

“You have conceived chaff, you will give birth to stubble;
My breath will consume you like a fire.

27971

“Indeed, who will have pity on you, O Jerusalem,
Or who will mourn for you,
Or who will turn aside to ask about your welfare?

27972

He appointed military officers over the people and gathered them to him in the square at the city gate, and spoke encouragingly to them, saying,

27973

“I too will answer my share,
I also will tell my opinion.

27974

the sons of Harim, 1,017.

27975

The eighth for the eighth month was Sibbecai the Hushathite of the Zerahites; and in his division were 24,000.

27976

Thus Manasseh misled Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to do more evil than the nations whom the Lord destroyed before the sons of Israel.

27977

Then the man arose to go, but his father-in-law urged him so that he spent the night there again.

27978

Now David’s two wives had been taken captive, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess and Abigail the widow of Nabal the Carmelite.

27979

Then David took the Philistine’s head and brought it to Jerusalem, but he put his weapons in his tent.

27980

But if your heart turns away and you will not obey, but are drawn away and worship other gods and serve them,

27981

If he consecrates his field after the jubilee, however, then the priest shall calculate the price for him proportionate to the years that are left until the year of jubilee; and it shall be deducted from your valuation.

27982

They passed from there to the hill country of Ephraim and came to the house of Micah.

27983

You have not forsaken your brothers these many days to this day, but have kept the charge of the commandment of the Lord your God.

27984

The territory of their inheritance was Zorah and Eshtaol and Ir-shemesh,

27985

If in his sight the scale has remained, however, and black hair has grown in it, the scale has healed, he is clean; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

27986

They made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and inscribed it like the engravings of a signet, “Holy to the Lord.”

27987

On the tenth day it was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai, leader of the sons of Dan;

27988

Their bulbs and their branches were of one piece with it; the whole of it was a single hammered work of pure gold.

27989

You shall take them from their hands, and offer them up in smoke on the altar on the burnt offering for a soothing aroma before the Lord; it is an offering by fire to the Lord.

27990

Joseph gathered all the money that was found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan for the grain which they bought, and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh’s house.

27991

But she said to her, “Is it a small matter for you to take my husband? And would you take my son’s mandrakes also?” So Rachel said, “Therefore he may lie with you tonight in return for your son’s mandrakes.”

27992

Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company will not help him in the war, when they cast up ramps and build siege walls to cut off many lives.

27993

Surely all the wealth which God has taken away from our father belongs to us and our children; now then, do whatever God has said to you.”

27994

And it will never again be the confidence of the house of Israel, bringing to mind the iniquity of their having turned to Egypt. Then they will know that I am the Lord God.”’”

27995

I am not doing this for your sake,” declares the Lord God, “let it be known to you. Be ashamed and confounded for your ways, O house of Israel!”

27996

And as soon as you finish reading this scroll, you will tie a stone to it and throw it into the middle of the Euphrates,

27997

But they went in to her as they would go in to a harlot. Thus they went in to Oholah and to Oholibah, the lewd women.

27998

For through the anger of the Lord this came about in Jerusalem and Judah until He cast them out from His presence. And Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

27999

“Therefore their way will be like slippery paths to them,
They will be driven away into the gloom and fall down in it;
For I will bring calamity upon them,
The year of their punishment,” declares the Lord.

28000

Therefore hear the plan of the Lord which He has planned against Edom, and His purposes which He has purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: surely they will drag them off, even the little ones of the flock; surely He will make their pasture desolate because of them.

28001

“And,” said the women, “when we were burning sacrifices to the queen of heaven and were pouring out drink offerings to her, was it without our husbands that we made for her sacrificial cakes in her image and poured out drink offerings to her?”

28002

And I will take away the remnant of Judah who have set their mind on entering the land of Egypt to reside there, and they will all meet their end in the land of Egypt; they will fall by the sword and meet their end by famine. Both small and great will die by the sword and famine; and they will become a curse, an object of horror, an imprecation and a reproach.
