“When a man has on the skin of his body a swelling or a scab or a bright spot, and it becomes an infection of leprosy on the skin of his body, then he shall be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons the priests.

But if the bright spot is white on the skin of his body, and it does not appear to be deeper than the skin, and the hair on it has not turned white, then the priest shall isolate him who has the infection for seven days.

But if the bright spot remains in its place and does not spread, it is only the scar of the boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

“Or if the body sustains in its skin a burn by fire, and the raw flesh of the burn becomes a bright spot, reddish-white, or white,

then the priest shall look at it. And if the hair in the bright spot has turned white and it appears to be deeper than the skin, it is leprosy; it has broken out in the burn. Therefore, the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is an infection of leprosy.

But if the priest looks at it, and indeed, there is no white hair in the bright spot and it is no deeper than the skin, but is dim, then the priest shall isolate him for seven days;

But if the bright spot remains in its place and has not spread in the skin, but is dim, it is the swelling from the burn; and the priest shall pronounce him clean, for it is only the scar of the burn.

But the sons of Israel acted unfaithfully in regard to the things under the ban, for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, from the tribe of Judah, took some of the things under the ban, therefore the anger of the Lord burned against the sons of Israel.

He brought the family of Judah near, and he took the family of the Zerahites; and he brought the family of the Zerahites near man by man, and Zabdi was taken.

He brought his household near man by man; and Achan, son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, from the tribe of Judah, was taken.

The ancient torrent, the torrent Kishon.

“But He has made me a byword of the people,
And I am one at whom men spit.

“If my step has turned from the way,
Or my heart followed my eyes,
Or if any spot has stuck to my hands,

He rode upon a cherub and flew;
And He sped upon the wings of the wind.

Though a host encamp against me,
My heart will not fear;
Though war arise against me,
In spite of this I shall be confident.

How they are destroyed in a moment!
They are utterly swept away by sudden terrors!

In spite of all this they still sinned
And did not believe in His wonderful works.

In the morning they are like grass which sprouts anew.

Then the waters would have engulfed us,
The stream would have swept over our soul;

Then the raging waters would have swept over our soul.”

And let the purpose of the Holy One of Israel draw near
And come to pass, that we may know it!”

And will whistle for it from the ends of the earth;
And behold, it will come with speed swiftly.

The Arameans on the east and the Philistines on the west;
And they devour Israel with gaping jaws.
In spite of all this, His anger does not turn away
And His hand is still stretched out.

Therefore the Lord does not take pleasure in their young men,
Nor does He have pity on their orphans or their widows;
For every one of them is godless and an evildoer,
And every mouth is speaking foolishness.
In spite of all this, His anger does not turn away
And His hand is still stretched out.

Manasseh devours Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasseh,
And together they are against Judah.
In spite of all this, His anger does not turn away
And His hand is still stretched out.

Nothing remains but to crouch among the captives
Or fall among the slain.
In spite of all this, His anger does not turn away
And His hand is still stretched out.

Loss of children and widowhood.

In spite of the great power of your spells.

The lifeblood of the innocent poor;
You did not find them breaking in.

“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.

The mountains saw You and quaked;
The downpour of waters swept by.

It lifted high its hands.

Then they spat in His face and beat Him with their fists; and others slapped Him,

They spat on Him, and took the reed and began to beat Him on the head.

They will mock Him and spit on Him, and scourge Him and kill Him, and three days later He will rise again.”

Some began to spit at Him, and to blindfold Him, and to beat Him with their fists, and to say to Him, “Prophesy!” And the officers received Him with slaps in the face.

And when it comes, it finds it swept and put in order.

For He will be handed over to the Gentiles, and will be mocked and mistreated and spit upon,
