See now that I, even I, am He, And there is no god with Me; I kill, and I make alive; I have wounded, and I heal; And there is none that can deliver out of My hand.,The wasting of hunger, and the devouring of the fiery bolt, And bitter destruction; And the teeth of beasts will I send upon them, With the venom of crawling things of the dust.,He found him in a desert land, and in the waste, a howling wilderness; He compassed him about, He cared for him, He kept him as the apple of His eye.,When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, when He separated the children of men, He set the borders of the peoples according to the number of the children of Israel.,As an eagle that stirreth up her nest, Hovereth over her young, Spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, Beareth them on her pinions—,of the Rock that begot thee thou wast unmindful, And didst forget God that bore thee. .,Their wine is the venom of serpents, And the cruel poison of asps.,They sacrificed unto demons, no-gods, Gods that they knew not, New gods that came up of late, Which your fathers dreaded not.,How should one chase a thousand, And two put ten thousand to flight, Except their Rock had given them over And the LORD had delivered them up?,I thought I would make an end of them, I would make their memory cease from among men;,Who did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink-offering? Let him rise up and help you, Let him be your protection.,And the LORD saw, and spurned, Because of the provoking of His sons and His daughters.,and die in the mount whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy people; as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered unto his people.,But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked— Thou didst wax fat, thou didst grow thick, thou didst become gross— And he forsook God who made him, And contemned the Rock of his salvation.,For it is no vain thing for you; because it is your life, and through this thing ye shall prolong your days upon the land, whither ye go over the Jordan to possess it.’,If I whet My glittering sword, And My hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to Mine adversaries, And will recompense them that hate Me.,If they were wise, they would understand this, They would discern their latter end.,Because ye trespassed against Me in the midst of the children of Israel at the waters of Meribath-kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified Me not in the midst of the children of Israel.,For the portion of the LORD is His people, Jacob the lot of His inheritance.,Do ye thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? Is not He thy father that hath gotten thee? Hath He not made thee, and established thee?,Were it not that I dreaded the enemy’s provocation, Lest their adversaries should misdeem, Lest they should say: Our hand is exalted, And not the LORD hath wrought all this.’,I will make Mine arrows drunk with blood, And My sword shall devour flesh; With the blood of the slain and the captives, From the long-haired heads of the enemy.’,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;,And the LORD spoke unto Moses that selfsame day, saying:,And when Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel,,Vengeance is Mine, and recompense, Against the time when their foot shall slip; For the day of their calamity is at hand, And the things that are to come upon them shall make haste.,Give ear, ye heavens, and I will speak; And let the earth hear the words of my mouth.,Without shall the sword bereave, And in the chambers terror; Slaying both young man and virgin, The suckling with the man of gray hairs.,The LORD alone did lead him, And there was no strange god with Him.,For I will proclaim the name of the LORD; Ascribe ye greatness unto our God.,For thou shalt see the land afar off; but thou shalt not go thither into the land which I give the children of Israel.’,And Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun.,For I lift up My hand to heaven, And say: As I live for ever,,They roused Him to jealousy with strange gods, With abominations did they provoke Him.,Sing aloud, O ye nations, of His people; For He doth avenge the blood of His servants, And doth render vengeance to His adversaries, And doth make expiation for the land of His people.,’Is not this laid up in store with Me, Sealed up in My treasuries?,I will heap evils upon them; I will spend Mine arrows upon them;,For their rock is not as our Rock, Even our enemies themselves being judges.,For the LORD will judge His people, And repent Himself for His servants; When He seeth that their stay is gone, And there is none remaining, shut up or left at large.,Curd of kine, and milk of sheep, With fat of lambs, And rams of the breed of Bashan, and he-goats, With the kidney-fat of wheat; And of the blood of the grape thou drankest foaming wine.,And He said: ‘I will hide My face from them, I will see what their end shall be; For they are a very froward generation, Children in whom is no faithfulness.,’Get thee up into this mountain of 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 possession;,My doctrine shall drop as the rain, My speech shall distil as the dew; As the small rain upon the tender grass, And as the showers upon the herb.,They have roused Me to jealousy with a no-god; They have provoked Me with their vanities; And I will rouse them to jealousy with a no-people; I will provoke them with a vile nation.,Is corruption His? No; His children’s is the blemish; A generation crooked and perverse.,For they are a nation void of counsel, And there is no understanding in them.,Remember the days of old, Consider the years of many generations; Ask thy father, and he will declare unto thee, Thine elders, and they will tell thee.,For a fire is kindled in My nostril, And burneth unto the depths of the nether-world, And devoureth the earth with her produce, And setteth ablaze the foundations of the mountains.,He made him ride on the high places of the earth, And he did eat the fruitage of the field; And He made him to suck honey out of the crag, And oil out of the flinty rock;,And it is said: Where are their gods, The rock in whom they trusted;,The Rock, His work is perfect; For all His ways are justice; A God of faithfulness and without iniquity, Just and right is He. .,he said unto them: ‘Set your heart unto all the words wherewith I testify against you this day; that ye may charge your children therewith to observe to do all the words of this law. |

There He made for them a statute and an ordice, and there He proved them;,And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter.

Who is like unto Thee, glorious in holiness, Fearful in praises, doing wonders?,Thou didst blow with Thy wind, the sea covered them; They sank as lead in the mighty waters.,And Moses led Israel onward from the Red Sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water.,And they came to Elim, where were twelve springs of water, and three score and ten palm-trees; and they encamped there by the waters.,Thou in Thy love hast led the people that Thou hast redeemed; Thou hast guided them in Thy strength to Thy holy habitation.,Thy right hand, O LORD, glorious in power, Thy right hand, O LORD, dasheth in pieces the enemy.,And Miriam sang unto them: Sing ye to the LORD, for He is highly exalted: The horse and his rider hath He thrown into the sea. |

And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on Eli᾽av, and said, Surely the Lord’s anointed is before him. 16.7. But the Lord said to Shemu᾽el, Look not on his countece, nor on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for it is not as a man sees; for a man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart. 16.10. And Yishay made seven of his sons to pass before Shemu᾽el. And Shemu᾽el said to Yishay, The Lord has not chosen these. 16.11. And Shemu᾽el said to Yishay, Are these all thy children? And he said, There remains yet the youngest, and he is tending the sheep. Then Shemu᾽el said to Yishay, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he comes here. 16.12. And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, with fine eyes, and good looking. And the Lord said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he. 16.13. Then Shemu᾽el took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day onwards. So Shemu᾽el rose up, and went to Rama. |

And Yehonatan, Sha᾽ul’s son, had a son whose feet were lame. He was five years old when the tidings came of Sha᾽ul and Yehonatan out of Yizre῾el, and his nurse took him up, and fled: and it came to pass, as she made haste to flee, that he fell, and became lame. And his name was Mefivoshet. 4.5. And the sons of Rimmon the Be᾽eroti, Rekhav and Ba῾ana, went, and came about the heat of the day to the house of Ish-boshet, who was lying down for his midday rest. 5.3. So all the elders of Yisra᾽el came to the king to Ĥevron; and king David made a covet with them in Ĥevron before the Lord: and they anointed David king over Yisra᾽el. 5.4. David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years. 5.5. In Ĥevron he reigned over Yehuda seven years and six months: and in Yerushalayim he reigned thirty three years over all Yisra᾽el and Yehuda. 5.6. And the king and his men went to Yerushalayim to the Yevusi, the inhabitants of the land: who spoke to David, saying, Unless thou remove even the blind and the lame, thou shalt not come in here: thinking, David cannot come in here. 5.7. Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Żiyyon: that is the city of David. 5.10. And David went on, and grew great, and the Lord God of hosts was with him. 7.1. 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; 7.2. that the king said to Natan the prophet, See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwells within curtain. 7.3. And Natan said to the king, Go, do all that is in thy heart; for the Lord is with thee. 7.4. And it came to pass that night, that the word of the Lord came to Natan, saying, 7.5. Go and tell my servant David, Thus says the Lord, shalt thou build me a house for me to dwell in? 7.8. Now therefore so shalt thou say to my servant David, Thus says the Lord of hosts, I took thee from the sheepfold, from following the sheep, to be ruler over my people, over Yisra᾽el: 7.9. and I was with thee wherever thou didst go, and have cut off all thy enemies out of thy sight, and have made thee a great name, like the name of the great men that are on the earth. 7.10. Moreover I have appointed a place for my people Yisra᾽el, and planted them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and be troubled no more; neither shall the children of wickedness torment them any more, as at the beginning, 7.11. and as since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Yisra᾽el; but I will give thee rest from all thy enemies, and the Lord tells thee that he will make thee a house. 7.12. And when the days are fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, who shall issue from thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom. 7.14. I will be his father, and he will be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with such plagues as befall the sons of Adam: 7.16. And thy house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be firm for ever. 11.1. And it came to pass, at the return of the year, at the time when kings go out to battle, that David sent Yo᾽av, and his servants with him, and all Yisra᾽el, and they ravaged the children of ῾Ammon, and besieged Rabba. But David tarried still at Yerushalayim. 11.2. And it came to pass one evening, that David arose from his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king’s house: and from the roof he saw a woman bathing; and the woman was very fair to look upon. 11.3. And David sent and inquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this Bat-sheva, the daughter of Eli῾am, the wife of Uriyya the Ĥittite? 11.4. And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in to him, and he lay with her; for she had purified herself from her uncleanness, and then she returned to her house. 11.5. And the woman conceived, and sent and told David, and said, I am with child. 11.6. And David sent to Yo᾽av, saying, Send me Uriyya the Ĥittite. And Yo᾽av sent Uriyya to David. 11.7. And when Uriyya was come to him, David asked how Yo᾽av did, and how the people did, and how the war prospered. 11.8. And David said to Uriyya, Go down to thy house, and wash thy feet. And Uriyya departed out of the king’s house, and there followed him a portion of food from the king. 11.9. But Uriyya slept at the door of the king’s house with all the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house. 11.10. And when they had told David, saying, Uriyya went not down to his house, David said to Uriyya, Didst thou not come from a journey? why then didst thou not go down to thy house? 11.11. And Uriyya said to David, The ark, and Yisra᾽el, and Yehuda, dwell in booths; and my lord Yo᾽av, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open fields; shall I then go into my house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? as thou livest, and as thy soul lives, I will not do this thing. 11.12. And David said to Uriyya, Remain here today also, and to morrow I will let thee depart. So Uriyya remained in Yerushalayim that day, and the morrow. 11.13. 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 servants of his lord, but went not down to his house. 11.14. And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Yo᾽av, and sent it by the hand of Uriyya. 11.15. And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set Uriyya in the forefront of the hottest battle, and withdraw from him, so that he may be hit, and die. 11.16. And it came to pass, when Yo᾽av besieged the city, that he assigned Uriyya to a place where he knew that fighting men were. 11.17. And the men of the city went out, and fought with Yo᾽av: and some of the people of the servants of David fell; and Uriyya the Ĥittite died also. 11.26. And when the wife of Uriyya heard that Uriyya her husband was dead, she mourned for her husband. 11.27. And when the mourning was past, David sent and fetched her to his house, and she became his wife, and bore him a son. But the thing that David had done was evil in the eyes of the Lord. 21.1. Then there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David inquired of the Lord. And the Lord answered, It is for Sha᾽ul, and for his bloody house, because he slew the Giv῾onim. 21.2. And the king called the Giv῾onim, and said to them; (now the Giv῾onim were not of the children of Yisra᾽el, but of the remt of the Emori; and the children of Yisra᾽el had sworn to them: and Sha᾽ul sought to slay them in his zeal for the children of Yisra᾽el and Yehuda.) 21.3. Then David said to the Giv῾onim, What shall I do for you? and with what shall I make atonement, that you may bless the inheritance of the Lord? 21.4. And the Giv῾onim said to him, We will have no silver nor gold of Sha᾽ul, nor of his house; neither for us shalt thou kill any man in Yisra᾽el. And he said, What you shall say, that will I do for you. 21.5. 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 borders of Yisra᾽el, 21.6. let seven men of his sons be delivered to us, and we will hang them up to the Lord in Giv῾at-sha’ul (whom the Lord did choose.) And the king said, I will give them. 21.7. But the king spared Mefivoshet, the son of Yehonatan the son of Sha᾽ul, because of the Lord’s oath that was between them, between David and Yehonatan the son of Sha᾽ul. 21.8. But the king took the two sons of Riżpa the daughter of Ayya, whom she bore to Sha᾽ul, Armoni and Mefivoshet; and the five sons of Mikhal the daughter of Sha᾽ul, whom she bore to ῾Adri᾽el the son of Barzillay the Meĥolatite: 21.9. and he delivered them into the hands of the Giv῾onim, and they hanged them on the hill before 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 the barley harvest. 21.10. And Riżpa the daughter of Ayya took sackcloth, 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. 21.11. And it was told David what Riżpa the daughter of Ayya, the concubine of Sha᾽ul, had done. 21.12. And David went and took the bones of Sha᾽ul and the bones of Yehonatan his son from the men of Yavesh-gil῾ad, who had stolen them from the open place of Bet-shan, where the Pelishtim had hanged them, when the Pelishtim had slain Sha᾽ul in Gilboa: 21.13. and he brought up from there the bones of Sha᾽ul and the bones of Yehonatan his son; and they gathered the bones of them that were hanged. 21.14. And the bones of Sha᾽ul and Yehonatan his son they buried in the country of Binyamin in Żela, in the tomb of Qish his father: and they performed all that the king commanded. And after that God was entreated for the land. |

He had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. , They were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and ordices of the Lord. , But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well advanced in years. , Now it happened, while he executed the priest's office before God in the order of his division, , according to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to enter into the temple of the Lord and burn incense. , The whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of incense. , An angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right side of the altar of incense. , Zacharias was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him. , But the angel said to him, "Don't be afraid, Zacharias, because your request has been heard, and your wife, Elizabeth, will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John. , You will have joy and gladness; and many will rejoice at his birth. , For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and he will drink no wine nor strong drink. He will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb. , He will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord, their God. , He will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, '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.", Zacharias said to the angel, "How can I be sure of this? For I am an old man, and my wife is well advanced in years.", The angel answered him, "I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God. I was sent to speak to you, and to bring you this good news. , Behold, you will be silent and not able to speak, until the day that these things will happen, because you didn't believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their proper time.", The people were waiting for Zacharias, and they marveled that he delayed in the temple. , When he came out, he could not speak to them, and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple. He continued making signs to them, and remained mute. , It happened, when the days of his service were fulfilled, he departed to his house. , After these days Elizabeth, his wife, conceived, and she hid herself five months, saying, , "Thus has the Lord done to me in the days in which he looked at me, to take away my reproach among men.", Now in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, , to a virgin pledged to be married to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's name was Mary. , Having come in, the angel said to her, "Rejoice, you highly favored one! The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women!", But when she saw him, she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered what kind of salutation this might be. , The angel said to her, "Don't be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. , Behold, you will conceive in your womb, and bring forth a son, and will call his name 'Jesus.' , He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father, David, , and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever. There will be no end to his kingdom.", Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, seeing I am a virgin?", The angel answered her, "The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore also the holy one who is born from you will be called the Son of God. , Behold, Elizabeth, your relative, also has conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren. , For everything spoken by God is possible. , Mary said, "Behold, the handmaid of the Lord; be it to me according to your word."The angel departed from her. , Mary arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah, , and entered into the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth. , It happened, when Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, that the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. , She called out with a loud voice, and said, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! , Why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? , For behold, when the voice of your greeting came into my ears, the baby leaped in my womb for joy! , Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord!", Mary said, "My soul magnifies the Lord. , My spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior, , For he has looked at the humble state of his handmaid. For behold, from now on, all generations will call me blessed. , For he who is mighty has done great things for me. Holy is his name. , His mercy is for generations of generations on those who fear him. , He has shown strength with his arm. He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their heart. , He has put down princes from their thrones. And has exalted the lowly. , He has filled the hungry with good things. He has sent the rich away empty. , He has given help to Israel, his servant, that he might remember mercy, , As he spoke to our fathers, To Abraham and his seed forever.", Mary stayed with her about three months, and then returned to her house. , Now the time that Elizabeth should give birth was fulfilled, and she brought forth a son. , Her neighbors and her relatives heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy towards her, and they rejoiced with her. , It happened on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child; and they would have called him Zacharias, after the name of the father. , His mother answered, "Not so; but he will be called John.", They said to her, "There is no one among your relatives who is called by this name.", They made signs to his father, what he would have him called. , He asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, "His name is John."They all marveled. , His mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue freed, and he spoke, blessing God. , Fear came on all who lived around them, and all these sayings were talked about throughout all the hill country of Judea. , All who heard them laid them up in their heart, saying, "What then will this child be?" The hand of the Lord was with him. , His father, Zacharias, was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying, , "Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, For he has visited and worked redemption for his people; , And has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David , (As he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets who have been from of old), , Salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all who hate us; , To show mercy towards our fathers, To remember his holy covet, , The oath which he spoke to Abraham, our father, , To grant to us that we, being delivered out of the hand of our enemies, should serve him without fear, , In holiness and righteousness before him all the days of our life. , And you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High, For you will go before the face of the Lord to make ready his ways, , To give knowledge of salvation to his people by the remission of their sins, , Because of the tender mercy of our God, Whereby the dawn from on high will visit us, , To shine on those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death; To guide our feet into the way of peace.", The child was growing, and becoming strong in spirit, and was in the desert until the day of his public appearance to Israel. |
