So Jacob rose early in the morning, and took the stone which he halt lint for his pillow, and put it for a pillar, - and poured out oil upon the top thereof;

But if in its place the bright spot stayeth hath lint spread, a boil, it is, - and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

And, this, shall serve you as a north boundary, - From the great sea, ye shall draw a line for you to Mount Hor:

From Mount Hor, ye shall draw a line to the entering in of Hamath, - and the extension of the boundary shall be towards Zedad:

Then shall ye draw for yourselves a line, for an east boundary, - from Hazar-enan towards Shepham;

And he smote Moab, and measured them with the line casting, them down to the ground, and be measured with two lines to put to death, and with one full line to keep alive, - so the Moabites became David's, as servants, bringing gifts.

And he cast two pillars of bronze, - eighteen cubits, the height of each pillar, and, a line of twelve cubits, would surround the second pillar.

And he made a molten sea, - ten cubits from the one brim to the other, it was round all about, and, five cubits, was the height thereof, and, a line of thirty cubits, would encompass it round about.

And I will stretch over Jerusalem, the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab, - and will wipe out Jerusalem, as one wipeth out a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down;

And he made a molten sea, - ten - by the cubit, from the one brim thereof into the other brim thereof, it was round all about, and, five - by the cubit, was the height thereof, and, a line - of thirty by the cubit, did compass it round about.

Who set the measurements thereof, if thou knowest? Or who stretched out over it a line?

So he drave out, before them, whole nations, And allotted them, by line, an inheritance, And caused to dwell, in their own homes, the tribes of Israel.

For it is - Precept upon precept, precept upon precept, Line upon line, line upon line, - A little here a little there.

So the word of Yahweh must be to them - Precept upon precept, precept upon precept, Line upon line, line upon line, A little here, a little there, - That they may go and fall backward and be torn and snared and captured.

But I will make - Justice the line, and Righteousness the plummet, - And the hail shall, sweep away, your refuge of lying, And your hiding-place, the waters shall overflow;

That the vomiting pelican and the bittern may possess it: And the great owl and the raven, dwell therein; Then will he stretch out over it The line of desolation, and The plummet of emptiness.

Yea he himself, hath cast for them a lot, And his own hand, hath given to them a portion by line, - Unto times age-abiding, shall they possess it, To generation after generation, shall they dwell therein.

As for the carpenter, - He hath stretched out a line hath drawn it with a pencil, Hath made it with carving tools, With compasses, hath rounded it, - And so hath made it after the figure of a great man, After the beauty of a son of earth, that it may remain in a house!

Then shall go forth again the measuring-line straight forward, Over the hill Gareb, And it shall go round to Goah;

Now as for the pillars, eighteen cubits, was the height of each pillar, and, a line of twelve cubits, compassed it about, - and the thickness thereof was four fingers breadth - hollow;

Yahweh hath devised to lay in ruins, the wall of the daughter of Zion, he hath stretched out a line, he hath not turned back his hand from swallowing up, - Thus hath he caused to mourn - rampart and wall, together, have they languished!

For the seller, unto that which is to be sold, shall not return, though yet among the living, were their life, for the vision is against all her multitude. He shall not return, And line man by his punishment, shall strengthen his life.

When the man went forth with a measuring line in his hand, then measured he a thousand, by the cubit, and caused me to pass through the waters - waters reaching to the ankles.

Therefore - Thus, saith Yahweh, Thy wife, in the city, will commit unchastity, and, thy sons and thy daughters, by the sword, shall fall, and, thine own soil, by line, shall he apportioned, - and, thou, on a polluted soil, shalt die, and, Israel, shall, surely go into exile, away front his own soil.

Therefore, shalt thou have none to throw a measuring-line by lot, - in the convocation of Yahweh.

Alas! for the inhabitants of the line of the sea, the nation of Kerethim, - The word of Yahweh, is against you, O Canaan of the land of the Philistines, therefore will I destroy thee, to the last inhabitant.

So shall the line of the sea become a meadow, the wells of shepherds, and the folds of flocks;

And the line shall belong to the remnant of the house of Judah, Thereon, shall they feed their flocks, - In the houses of Ashkelon, shall they, at eventide, lie down, for Yahweh their God will visit them, and bring their captives back.

Wherefore, Thus, saith Yahweh, I have returned to Jerusalem, with compassions,, My house, shall be built therein, declareth Yahweh of hosts, and, a line, shall be stretched forth over Jerusalem.

Then lifted I up mine eyes and looked, and lo! a Man, - and, in his hand, a Measuring Line.
