Tell me please, is there room in your father's house for us to spend the night?" + +\s5 +\v 24 She said to him, "I am the daughter of Bethuel son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor." +\v 25 She also said to him, "We have plenty of both straw and feed, and also room for you to spend the night." + +\s5 +\v 26 Then the man bowed down and worshiped Yahweh. +\v 27 He said, "Blessed be Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken his covenant faithfulness and his trustworthiness toward my master. As for me, Yahweh has led me directly to the house of my master's relatives." + +\s5 +\p +\v 28 Then the young woman ran and told her mother's household about all of these things. +\v 29 Now Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban. Laban ran to the man who was out at the road by the spring. +\v 30 When he had seen the nose ring and the bracelets on his sister's arms, and when he had heard the words of Rebekah his sister, "This is what the man said to me," he went to the man, and, behold, he was standing by the camels at the spring. + +\s5 +\v 31 And Laban said, "Come, you blessed of Yahweh. Why are you standing outside? I have prepared the house, and a place for the camels." +\v 32 So the man came to the house and he unloaded the camels. The camels were given straw and feed, and water was provided to wash his feet and the feet of the men who were with him. + +\s5 +\v 33 They set food before him to eat, but he said, "I will not eat until I have said what I have to say." So Laban said, "Speak on." +\v 34 He said, "I am Abraham's servant. +\v 35 Yahweh has blessed my master very much and he has become great. He has given him flocks and herds, silver and gold, male servants and female servants, and camels and donkeys. + +\s5 +\v 36 Sarah, my master's wife, bore a son to my master when she was old, and he has given everything that he owns to him. +\v 37 My master made me swear, saying, 'You must not get a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I make my home. +\v 38 Instead, you must go to my father's family, and to my relatives, and get a wife for my son.' + +\s5 +\v 39 I said to my master, 'Perhaps the woman will not follow me.' +\v 40 But he said to me, 'Yahweh, before whom I walk, will send his angel with you and he will prosper your way, so that you will get a wife for my son from among my relatives and from my father's family line. +\v 41 But you will be free from my oath if you come to my relatives and they will not give her to you. Then you will be free from my oath.' + +\s5 +\v 42 So I arrived today at the spring, and said, 'O Yahweh, God of my master Abraham, please, if you do indeed intend to make my journey successful— +\v 43 here I am, standing by the spring of water—let the young woman who comes out to draw water, the woman to whom I say, "Please give me a little water from your pitcher to drink," +\v 44 the woman who says to me, "Drink, and I will also draw water for your camels"—let her be the woman whom you, Yahweh, have chosen for my master's son.' + +\s5 +\v 45 Even before I had finished speaking in my heart, behold, Rebekah came out with her pitcher on her shoulder and she went down to the spring and drew water. So I said to her, 'Please give me a drink.' +\v 46 She quickly lowered her pitcher from her shoulder and said, 'Drink, and I will give your camels water also.' So I drank, and she watered the camels also. + +\s5 +\v 47 I asked her and said, 'Whose daughter are you?' She said, 'The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bore to him.' Then I put the ring in her nose and the bracelets on her arms. +\v 48 Then I bowed down and worshiped Yahweh, and blessed Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, who had led me by the right way to find the daughter of my master's relative for his son. + +\s5 +\v 49 Now therefore, if you are prepared to treat my master with family faithfulness and trustworthiness, tell me. But if not, tell me, so that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left." + +\s5 +\p +\v 50 Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, "The thing has come from Yahweh; we cannot speak to you either bad or good. +\v 51 Look, Rebekah is before you. Take her and go, so she may be the wife of your master's son, as Yahweh has spoken." + +\s5 +\v 52 When Abraham's servant heard their words, he bowed himself down to the ground to Yahweh. +\v 53 The servant brought out articles of silver and articles of gold, and clothing, and gave them to Rebekah. He also gave precious gifts to her brother and to her mother. + +\s5 +\v 54 Then he and the men who were with him ate and drank. They stayed there overnight, and when they arose in the morning, he said, "Send me away to my master." +\v 55 Her brother and her mother said, "Let the young woman stay with us for a few more days, at least ten. After that she may go." + +\s5 +\v 56 But he said to them, "Do not hinder me, since Yahweh has prospered my way. Send me on my way so that I may go to my master." +\v 57 They said, "We will call the young woman and ask her." +\v 58 So they called Rebekah and asked her, "Will you go with this man?" She replied, "I will go." + +\s5 +\v 59 So they sent their sister Rebekah, along with her female servant, on her journey with Abraham's servant and his men. +\v 60 They blessed Rebekah, and said to her, +\q "Our sister, may you be the mother of thousands of ten thousands, +\q and may your descendants possess the gate of those who hate them." + +\s5 +\p +\v 61 Then Rebekah arose, and she and her servant girls mounted the camels, and followed the man. Thus the servant took Rebekah, and went his way. +\p +\v 62 Now Isaac was living in the Negev, and had just returned from Beerlahairoi. + +\s5 +\v 63 Isaac went out to meditate in the field in the evening. When he looked up and saw, behold, there were camels coming! +\v 64 Rebekah looked, and when she saw Isaac, she jumped down from the camel. +\v 65 She said to the servant, "Who is that man who is walking in the field to meet us?" The servant said, "It is my master." So she took her veil, and covered herself. + +\s5 +\v 66 The servant recounted to Isaac all the things that he had done. +\v 67 Then Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent and took Rebekah, and she became his wife, and he loved her.

Moses said to them, "It is the bread that Yahweh has given you to eat. + +\s5 +\v 16 This is the command that Yahweh has given: 'You must gather, each one of you, the amount you need to eat, an omer for each person of the number of your people. This is how you will gather it: Gather enough to eat for every person who lives in your tent.'" +\v 17 The people of Israel did so. Some gathered more, some gathered less. +\v 18 When they measured it with an omer measure, those who had gathered much had nothing left over, and those who had gathered little had no lack. Each person gathered enough to meet their need. + +\s5 +\v 19 Then Moses said to them, "No one must leave any of it until morning." +\v 20 However, they did not listen to Moses. Some of them left some of it until morning, but it bred worms and became foul. Then Moses became angry with them. +\v 21 They gathered it morning by morning. Each person gathered enough to eat for that day. When the sun became hot, it melted. + +\s5 +\v 22 It came about that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each person. All the leaders of the community came and told this to Moses. +\v 23 He said to them, "This is what Yahweh has said: 'Tomorrow is a solemn rest, a holy Sabbath in Yahweh's honor. Bake what you want to bake, and boil what you want to boil. All that remains over, set it aside for yourselves until morning.'" + +\s5 +\v 24 So they set it aside until morning, as Moses had instructed. It did not become foul, nor was there any worm in it. +\v 25 Moses said, "Eat that food today, for today is a day reserved as a Sabbath to honor Yahweh. Today you will not find it in the fields. + +\s5 +\v 26 You will gather it during six days, but the seventh day is the Sabbath. On the Sabbath there will be no manna." +\v 27 It came about on the seventh day that some of the people went out to gather manna, but they found none. + +\s5 +\v 28 Then Yahweh said to Moses, "How long will you refuse to keep my commandments and my laws? +\v 29 See, I, Yahweh have given you the Sabbath. So on the sixth day I am giving you bread for two days. Each of you must stay in his own place; no one must go out from his place on the seventh day." +\v 30 So the people rested on the seventh day. + +\s5 +\p +\v 31 The people of Israel called that food "manna." It was white like coriander seed, and its taste was like wafers made with honey. +\v 32 Moses said, "This what Yahweh has commanded: 'Let an omer of manna be kept throughout your people's generations so that your descendants might see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, after I brought you out from the land of Egypt.'" + +\s5 +\v 33 Moses said to Aaron, "Take a pot and put an omer of manna into it. Preserve it before Yahweh to be kept throughout the people's generations." +\v 34 As Yahweh commanded Moses, Aaron stored it beside the covenant decrees in the ark. +\v 35 The people of Israel ate manna forty years until they came to inhabited land. They ate it until they came to the borders of the land of Canaan. +\v 36 Now an omer is a tenth of an ephah. + + + diff --git a/02-EXO/17.usfm b/02-EXO/17.usfm index 28e810df..b1b312ed 100644 --- a/02-EXO/17.usfm +++ b/02-EXO/17.usfm @@ -1,33 +1,33 @@ - - -\s5 -\c 17 -\p -\v 1 The whole community of the Israelites journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, following Yahweh's instructions.

Is it not better for us to return to Egypt?" + +\s5 +\p +\v 4 They said to each another, "Let us choose another leader, and let us return to Egypt." +\v 5 Then Moses and Aaron lay face down before all the assembly of the community of the people of Israel. + +\s5 +\v 6 Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, who were some of those sent to examine the land, tore their clothes. +\v 7 They spoke to all the community of the people of Israel.

Then Yahweh's glory appeared at the tent of meeting to all the people of Israel. + +\s5 +\p +\v 11 Yahweh said to Moses, "How long must this people despise me? How long must they fail to trust me, despite all the signs of my power that I have done among them? +\v 12 I will attack them with plague, disinherit them, and make from your own clan a nation that will be greater and mightier than they are." + +\s5 +\p +\v 13 Moses said to Yahweh, "If you do this, then the Egyptians will hear about it, because you rescued this people from them by your power. +\v 14 They will tell it to this land's inhabitants. They have heard that you, Yahweh, are present with this people, because you are seen face to face. Your cloud stands over our people. You go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and in a pillar of fire by night. + +\s5 +\v 15 Now if you kill this people as one person, then the nations that have heard of your fame will speak and say, +\v 16 'Because Yahweh could not take this people into the land that he swore to give them, +he has killed them in the wilderness.' + +\s5 +\v 17 Now, I beg you, use your great power. For you have said, +\v 18 'Yahweh is slow to anger and abundant in covenant faithfulness. He forgives iniquity and transgression. He will by no means clear the guilty when he brings the punishment of the ancestors' sin on their descendants, to the third and fourth generation.' +\v 19 Pardon, I plead with you, this people's sin because of the greatness of your covenant faithfulness, just as you have always forgiven this people from the time they were in Egypt until now." + +\s5 +\p +\v 20 Yahweh said, "I have pardoned them in keeping with your request, +\v 21 but truly, as I live, and as all the earth will be filled with my glory, +\v 22 all those people who saw my glory and the signs of power that I did in Egypt and in the wilderness—they have still tempted me these ten times and have not listened to my voice. + +\s5 +\v 23 So I say that they will certainly not see the land about which I made an oath to their ancestors. Not one of them who despised me will see it, +\v 24 except for my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit. He has followed me fully; I will bring him into the land which he went to examine. His descendants will possess it. +\v 25 (Now the Amalekites and Canaanites lived in the valley.) Tomorrow turn and go to the wilderness by the way of the sea of Reeds." + +\s5 +\p +\v 26 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron. He said, +\v 27 "How long must I tolerate this evil community that criticizes me? I have heard the complaining of the people of Israel against me. + +\s5 +\v 28 Say to them, 'As I live,' says Yahweh, 'as you have spoken in my hearing, I will do this to you: +\v 29 Your dead bodies will fall in this wilderness, all you who complained against me, you who were counted in the census, the whole number of the people from twenty years old and upward. +\v 30 You will certainly not go into the land that I promised to make your home, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun. + +\s5 +\v 31 But your little ones who you said would be victims, I will take them into the land. They will experience the land that you have rejected! +\v 32 As for you, your dead bodies will fall in this wilderness. +\v 33 Your children will be wanderers in the wilderness for forty years. They must bear the consequences of your acts of rebellion until the wilderness kills your bodies. + +\s5 +\v 34 Just as the number of the days during which you examined the land—forty days, you must likewise bear the consequences of your sins for forty years—one year for every day, and you must know what it is like to be my enemy. +\v 35 I, Yahweh, have spoken. I will certainly do this to all this evil community that is gathered together against me. They will be consumed in this wilderness. Here they will die.' " + +\s5 +\p +\v 36-37 So the men whom Moses had sent to look at the land all died by the plague before Yahweh. These were the men who had returned and brought a bad report about the land. This made all the community complain against Moses. +\v 38 Of those men who had gone to look at the land, only Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh remained alive. + +\s5 +\p +\v 39 When Moses reported these words to all the people of Israel, they mourned very deeply. +\v 40 They rose up early in the morning and went to the top of the mountain and said, "Look, we are here, and we will go to the place that Yahweh has promised, for we have sinned." + +\s5 +\v 41 But Moses said, "Why are you now violating Yahweh's command? You will not succeed. +\v 42 Do not go, because Yahweh is not with you to prevent you from being defeated by your enemies. +\v 43 The Amalekites and Canaanites are there, and you will die by the sword because you turned back from following Yahweh. So he will not be with you." + +\s5 +\v 44 But they presumed to go up into the hill country; however, neither Moses nor the ark of the covenant of Yahweh left the camp. +\v 45 Then the Amalekites came down, and also the Canaanites who lived on those hills.

By fleeing to one of these cities, he might survive. +\v 43 They were: Bezer in the wilderness, the plain country, for the Reubenites; Ramoth in Gilead, for the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan, for the Manassites. + +\s5 +\p +\v 44 This is the law that Moses placed before the people of Israel; +\v 45 these are the covenant decrees, laws, and other decrees that he spoke to the people of Israel when they came out of Egypt, +\v 46 when they were east of the Jordan, in the valley opposite Beth Peor, in the land of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who had lived at Heshbon, whom Moses and the people of Israel had defeated when they came out of Egypt. + +\s5 +\v 47 They took his land as a possession, and the land of Og king of Bashan—these, the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan toward the east. +\v 48 This territory went from Aroer, on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, to Mount Sion (or Mount Hermon), +\v 49 and included all of the plain of the Jordan River valley, eastward beyond the Jordan, to the sea of the Arabah, to the slopes of Mount Pisgah." + + + diff --git a/05-DEU/05.usfm b/05-DEU/05.usfm index 661fb934..1bc7190f 100644 --- a/05-DEU/05.usfm +++ b/05-DEU/05.usfm @@ -1,85 +1,85 @@ - - -\s5 -\c 5 -\p -\v 1 Moses called to all Israel and said to them, “Listen, Israel, to the statutes and the decrees that I will speak in your ears today, that you may learn them and keep them. -\v 2 Yahweh our God made a covenant with us at Horeb. -\v 3 Yahweh did not make this covenant with our ancestors, but with us, all of us alive here today. - -\s5 -\v 4 Yahweh spoke with you face to face on the mount out of the middle of the fire -\v 5 (I stood between Yahweh and you at that time, to reveal to you his word; for you were afraid because of the fire, and you did not go up the mountain).

When you arrive at the city, you will meet a group of prophets coming down from the high place with a harp, a tambourine, a flute, and a lyre before them; they will be prophesying. +\v 6 The Spirit of Yahweh will rush upon you, and you will prophesy with them, and you willl be changed into a different man. + +\s5 +\v 7 Now, when these signs come to you, do whatever your hand finds to do, for God is with you. +\v 8 Go down before me to Gilgal.

Is Saul one of the prophets now?" +\v 12 A man from the same place answered, "And who is their father?" Because of this, it became a saying, "Is Saul also one of the prophets?" +\v 13 When he finished prophesying, he came to the high place. + +\s5 +\p +\v 14 Then Saul's uncle said to him and his servant, "Where did you go?" And he replied, "To look for the donkeys; when we saw that we could not find them, we went to Samuel." +\v 15 Saul's uncle said, "Please tell me what Samuel said to you." +\v 16 Saul replied to his uncle, "He told us plainly that the donkeys had been found." But he did not tell him about the matter of the kingdom, of which Samuel had spoken. + +\s5 +\p +\v 17 Now Samuel called the people together before Yahweh at Mizpah. +\v 18 He said to the people of Israel, "This is what Yahweh, the God of Israel says: 'I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and I rescued you from the hand of the Egyptians, and from the hand of all the kingdoms that oppressed you.' +\v 19 But today you have rejected your God, who saves you from all of your calamities and your distresses; and you have said to him, 'Set a king over us.' Now present yourselves before Yahweh by your tribes and by your clans." + +\s5 +\v 20 So Samuel brought all the tribes of Israel near, and the tribe of Benjamin was chosen. +\v 21 Then he brought the tribe of Benjamin near by their clans; and the clan of the Matrites was chosen; and Saul the son of Kish was chosen. But when they went looking for him, he could not be found. + +\s5 +\v 22 Then the people wanted to ask God more questions, "Is there still another man to come?" Yahweh answered, "He has hidden himself among the baggage." +\v 23 Then they ran and retrieved Saul from there. When he stood among the people, he was taller than any of the people from his shoulders upward. + +\s5 +\v 24 Then Samuel said to the people, "Do you see the man whom Yahweh has chosen? There is no one like him among all the people!" All the people shouted, "Long live the king!" + +\s5 +\p +\v 25 Then Samuel told the people the customs and rules of kingship, wrote them down in a book, and placed it before Yahweh.

Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, 'I anointed you king over Israel, and I rescued you out of the hand of Saul. +\v 8 I gave you your master's house, and your master's wives into your arms. I also gave you the house of Israel and Judah. And if that had been too little, I would have given you many other things in addition. + +\s5 +\v 9 So why have you despised the commands of Yahweh, so as to do what is evil in his sight? You have killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword and have taken his wife to be your own wife. You killed him with the sword of the army of Ammon. +\v 10 So now the sword will never leave your house, because you have despised me and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite as your wife.' + +\s5 +\v 11 Yahweh says, 'Look, I will raise up disaster against you out of your own house. Before your own eyes, I will take your wives and give them to your neighbor, and he will sleep with your wives in broad daylight. +\v 12 For you committed your sin secretly, but I will do this thing before all Israel, in the sunlight.' " +\v 13 Then David said to Nathan, "I have sinned against Yahweh." Nathan replied to David, "Yahweh also has passed over your sin. You will not be killed. + +\s5 +\v 14 However, because by this act you have despised Yahweh, the child who is born to you will surely die." +\v 15 Then Nathan left and went home. +\p Yahweh attacked the child that Uriah's wife bore to David, and he was very sick. + +\s5 +\v 16 David then implored God for the boy. David fasted and went inside and lay all night on the floor. +\v 17 The elders of his house arose and stood beside him, to raise him up from the floor, but he would not get up, and he would not eat with them. +\v 18 It came about on the seventh day that the child died. David's servants were afraid to tell him that the child was dead, for they said, "Look, while the child was still alive we spoke to him, and he did not listen to our voice. What might he do to himself if we tell him that the boy is dead?!" + +\s5 +\v 19 But when David saw that his servants were whispering together, David perceived that the child was dead. He said to his servants, "Is the child dead?" They answered, "He is dead." +\v 20 Then David arose from the floor and washed himself, anointed himself, and changed his clothes. He went to the tabernacle of Yahweh and worshiped there, and then he came back to his own palace. When he asked for it, they set food before him, and he ate. +\s5 +\v 21 Then his servants said to him, "Why have you done this? You fasted and wept for the child while he was alive, but when the child died, you got up and ate." +\v 22 David answered, "While the child was still alive I fasted and wept. I said, 'Who knows whether or not Yahweh will be gracious to me, that the child may live?' +\v 23 But now he is dead, so why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him, but he will not return to me." + +\s5 +\p +\v 24 David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in to her, and slept with her. So she bare a son, and the child was named Solomon. Yahweh loved him, +\v 25 so he sent word through Nathan the prophet to name him Jedidiah, because Yahweh loved him. + +\s5 +\p +\v 26 Now Joab fought against Rabbah, the royal city of the people of Ammon, and he captured its fortress. +\v 27 So Joab sent messengers to David and said, "I have fought against Rabbah, and I have taken the city's water supply. +\v 28 Now therefore gather the rest of the army together and camp against the city and take it, because if I take the city, it will be named after me." + +\s5 +\v 29 So David gathered all the army together and went to Rabbah; he fought against the city and captured it. +\v 30 David took the crown of Moloch from its head—it weighed a talent of gold, and there was a precious stone in it. The crown was placed on David's own head. Then he brought out the plunder of the city in large quantities. + +\s5 +\v 31 He brought out the people who were in the city and forced them to work with saws, iron picks, and axes; he also made them work at brick kilns.

Yahweh had ordained the rejection of Ahithophel's good advice in order to bring destruction on Absalom. + +\s5 +\p +\v 15 Then Hushai said to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, "Ahithophel advised Absalom and the elders of Israel in such and such a way, but I have advised something else. +\v 16 Now then, go quickly and report to David; say to him, 'Do not camp tonight at the fords of the Arabah, but by all means cross over, or the king will be swallowed up along with all the people who are with him.'

The woman told them, "They have crossed over the river." So after they had looked around and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem. + +\s5 +\p +\v 21 It came about after they had left that Jonathan and Ahimaaz came up out of the well. They went to report to King David; they said to him, "Get up and cross quickly over the water because Ahithophel has given such and such advice about you." +\v 22 Then David arose and all the people who were with him, and they crossed over the Jordan. By morning daylight not one of them had failed to cross over the Jordan. + +\s5 +\v 23 When Ahithophel saw that his advice has not been followed, he saddled his donkey and left.

So Solomon brought in the things that were dedicated to Yahweh by David, his father, and the silver, the gold, and the furnishings, and put them into the storerooms of the house of Yahweh. - - - + + +\s5 +\c 7 +\p +\v 1 Solomon took thirteen years to build his own palace. +\v 2 He built the Palace of the Forest of Lebanon. Its length was one hundred cubits, its width was fifty cubits, and its height was thirty cubits. The palace was built with four rows of cedar pillars with cedar beams on the pillars. + +\s5 +\v 3 The roof was made of cedar; it was over the forty-five beams that were on the pillars, fifteen in a row. +\v 4 There were beams in three rows, and each window was opposite another window in three sets. +\v 5 All the doors and posts were made square with beams, and window was opposite window in three sets. + +\s5 +\v 6 There was a colonnade fifty cubits long and thirty cubits wide, with a portico in front and pillars and a roof. + +\s5 +\v 7 Solomon built the hall of the throne where he was to judge, the hall of justice. It was covered with cedar from floor to floor. + +\s5 +\v 8 Solomon's house in which he was to live, in another courtyard within the palace grounds, was similarly designed. He also built a house like this for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he had taken as a wife. + +\s5 +\p +\v 9 These buildings were adorned with costly, hewn stones, precisely measured and cut with a saw and smoothed on all sides. These stones were used from the foundation to the stones on top, and also on the outside to the great court. +\v 10 The foundation was constructed with very large, costly stones of eight and ten cubits in length. + +\s5 +\v 11 Above were costly, hewn stones precisely cut to size, and cedar beams. +\v 12 The great courtyard surrounding the palace had three rows of cut stone and a row of cedar beams like the inner court of the temple of Yahweh and the temple portico. + +\s5 +\p +\v 13 King Solomon sent for Huram and brought him from Tyre. +\v 14 Huram was the son of a widow of the tribe of Naphtali; his father was a man of Tyre, a craftsman in bronze. Huram was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill to do great work with bronze. He came to King Solomon to work with bronze for the king. + +\s5 +\v 15 Huram fashioned the two pillars of bronze, each eighteen cubits high and twelve cubits in circumference. +\v 16 He made two capitals of burnished bronze to set on the tops of the pillars. The height of each capital was five cubits. +\v 17 Checker latticework and wreaths of chain work for the capitals decorated the top of the pillars, seven for each capital. + +\s5 +\v 18 So Huram made two rows of pomegranates around the top of each pillar to decorate their capitals. +\v 19 The capitals on the tops of the portico pillars were decorated with lilies, four cubits high. + +\s5 +\v 20 The capitals on these two pillars also included, close to their very top, two hundred pomegranates in rows all around. +\v 21 He raised up the pillars at the temple portico. The pillar on the right was named Jakin, and the pillar on the left was named Boaz. +\v 22 On the top of the pillars were decorations like lilies. The fashioning of the pillars was done in this way. + +\s5 +\p +\v 23 Huram made the round sea of cast metal, ten cubits from brim to brim. Its height was five cubits, and the sea was thirty cubits in circumference. +\v 24 Under the brim encircling the sea were gourds, ten in each cubit, cast in one piece with the sea when the sea itself was cast. + +\s5 +\v 25 The sea stood on twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, three looking toward the west, three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east. The sea was set on top of them, and all their hindquarters were toward the inside. +\v 26 The sea was as thick as the width of a hand, and its brim was forged like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom. The sea held two thousand baths of water. + +\s5 +\p +\v 27 Huram made the ten stands of bronze. Each stand was four cubits long and four cubits wide, and the height was three cubits. +\v 28 The work of the stands was like this. They had panels that stood between frames, +\v 29 and on the panels and on the frames were lions, oxen, and cherubim. Above and below the lions and oxen were wreaths of hammered work. + +\s5 +\v 30 Every stand had four bronze wheels and axles, and its four corners had supports beneath for the basin. The supports were cast with wreaths on the side of each one. +\v 31 The opening was round like a pedestal, a cubit and a half wide, and was within a crown that rose up a cubit. On the opening were engravings, and their panels were square, not round. + +\s5 +\v 32 The four wheels were underneath the panels, and the axles of the wheels and their housings were in the stand. The height of a wheel was a cubit and a half. +\v 33 The wheels were forged like chariot wheels. Their housings, rims, spokes, and hubs were all cast metal. + +\s5 +\v 34 There were four handles at the four corners of each stand, forged into the stand itself. +\v 35 In the top of the stands there was a round band half a cubit deep, and on the top of the stand its supports and panels were attached. + +\s5 +\v 36 On the surfaces of the supports and on the panels Huram engraved cherubim, lions, and palm trees that covered the space available, and they were surrounded by wreaths. +\v 37 He made the ten stands in this manner. All of them were cast in the same molds, and they had one size, and the same shape. + +\s5 +\p +\v 38 Huram made ten basins of bronze. One basin could hold forty baths of water. Each basin was four cubits across, and there was one basin on each of ten stands. +\v 39 He made five stands on the south-facing side of the temple and five on the north-facing side of the temple. He set the sea on the east corner, facing toward the south of the temple. + +\s5 +\p +\v 40 Huram made the basins and the shovels and the sprinkling bowls. Then he finished all the work that he did for King Solomon in the temple of Yahweh: +\v 41 the two pillars, and the bowl-like capitals that were on top of the two pillars, and the two sets of decorative latticework to cover the two bowl like capitals that were on top of the pillars. + +\s5 +\v 42 He made the four hundred pomegranates for the two sets of decorative latticework: two rows of pomegranates for each set of latticework to cover the two bowl-like capitals that were on the pillars, +\v 43 and the ten stands, and the ten basins on the stands. + +\s5 +\v 44 He had made the sea and the twelve oxen under it; +\v 45 also the pots, shovels, basins, and all the other implements—Huram made them out of burnished bronze, for King Solomon, for the temple of Yahweh. + +\s5 +\v 46 The king had cast them in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan. +\v 47 Solomon did not weigh all the implements because there were too many to weigh, so the weight of the bronze could not be known. + +\s5 +\p +\v 48 Solomon made all the furnishings that were in the temple of Yahweh out of gold: the golden altar and the table on which the bread of the presence was to be placed. +\v 49 The lampstands, five on the right side and five on the left, in front of the most holy place, were of pure gold, and the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs were of gold. + +\s5 +\v 50 The cups, lamp trimmers, basins, spoons, and incense burners were all made of pure gold.

He was from the royal family of Edom. +\v 15 When David was in Edom, Joab the captain of the army had gone up to bury the dead, every man who had been killed in Edom. +\v 16 Joab and all Israel remained there six months until he had killed every male in Edom. +\v 17 But Hadad was taken with other Edomites by his father's servants into Egypt, since Hadad was still a little child. + +\s5 +\v 18 They left Midian and came to Paran, from where they took men with them to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house and land and food. +\v 19 Hadad found great favor in the sight of Pharaoh, so that Pharaoh gave him a wife, his own wife's sister, the sister of Tahpenes the queen. + +\s5 +\v 20 The sister of Tahpenes gave birth to Hadad's son; they named him Genubath; Tahpenes raised him in Pharaoh's palace. So Genubath lived in Pharaoh's palace among the children of Pharaoh. +\v 21 When Hadad heard in Egypt that David was sleeping with his ancestors, and that Joab the captain of the host was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, "Let me depart, so I may go to my own country." +\v 22 Then Pharaoh said to him, "But what have you lacked from me, that now you seek to go to your own country?" Hadad answered, "Nothing, only let me leave." + +\s5 +\p +\v 23 God also raised up another adversary to Solomon, Rezon the son of Eliada, who had fled from his master Hadadezer, king of Zobah. +\v 24 Rezon gathered men to himself and became captain over a small force, when David defeated the men of Zobah. Rezon's men went to Damascus and lived there, and Rezon controlled Damascus. +\v 25 He was an enemy of Israel all the days of Solomon, along with the trouble that Hadad caused. Rezon abhorred Israel and reigned over Aram. + +\s5 +\p +\v 26 Then Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephraimite of Zeredah, an official of Solomon, whose mother's name was Zeruah, a widow, also lifted up his hand against the king. +\v 27 The reason he lifted up his hand against the king was because Solomon built the Millo and repaired the opening in the city wall of David his father. + +\s5 +\v 28 Jeroboam was a mighty man of valor. Solomon saw that the young man was industrious, so he gave him command over all the labor of the house of Joseph. +\v 29 At that time, when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him on the road. Now Ahijah had dressed in a new garment, and the two men were alone in the field. +\v 30 Then Ahijah grabbed hold of the new garment that was on him, and tore it into twelve pieces. + +\s5 +\v 31 He said to Jeroboam, "Take ten pieces, for Yahweh the God of Israel says, 'Look, I will tear the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and I will give ten tribes to you +\v 32 (but Solomon will have one tribe, for my servant David's sake and for Jerusalem's sake, the city that I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel), +\v 33 because they have forsaken me and have worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of Moab, and Milcom the god of the people of Ammon. They have not walked in my ways, to do what is right in my eyes, and to keep my statutes and my decrees, as did David his father. + +\s5 +\v 34 However, I will not take the whole kingdom out of Solomon's hand. Instead, I have made him ruler all the days of his life, for David my servant's sake whom I chose, the one who kept my commandments and my statutes. +\v 35 But I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand, and I will give it to you, ten tribes. +\v 36 I will give one tribe to Solomon's son, so that David my servant may always have a lamp before me in Jerusalem, the city in which I have chosen to put my name. + +\s5 +\v 37 I will take you, and you will rule to fulfill all that you desire, and you will be king over Israel. +\v 38 If you listen to all that I command you, and if you walk in my ways and do what is right in my eyes, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did, then I will be with you and will build you a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel to you. +\v 39 I will punish the descendants of David, but not forever.' " + +\s5 +\v 40 So Solomon tried to kill Jeroboam, but Jeroboam arose and fled into Egypt, to Shishak, king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon. + +\s5 +\p +\v 41 As for the other matters concerning Solomon, all that he did and his wisdom, are they not written in The Book of the Events of Solomon? +\v 42 Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel for forty years. +\v 43 He slept with his ancestors, and he was buried in the city of David his father.

So the king of Assyria shut him up and bound him in prison. +\v 5 Then the king of Assyria attacked throughout all the land, and attacked Samaria and besieged it for three years. +\v 6 In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria took Samaria and carried Israel away to Assyria. He put them in Halah, at the Habor River of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes. + +\s5 +\p +\v 7 This captivity happened because the people of Israel had sinned against Yahweh their God, who had brought them up from the land of Egypt, from under the power of Pharaoh king of Egypt. The people had been worshiping other gods +\v 8 and walking in the practices of the nations whom Yahweh had driven out before the people of Israel, and in the practices of the kings of Israel that they had done. + +\s5 +\v 9 The people of Israel secretly did things that were not right against Yahweh their God. They built shrines in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city. +\v 10 They also set up sacred stone pillars and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every green tree. + +\s5 +\v 11 There they burned incense in all the shrines, as the nations had done, those whom Yahweh had carried away before them. The Israelites performed wicked things to provoke Yahweh to anger; +\v 12 they worshiped idols, about which Yahweh had said to them, "You will not do this thing." + +\s5 +\v 13 Yet Yahweh had testified to Israel and to Judah by every prophet and every seer, saying, "Turn from your evil ways and keep my commandments and my statutes, and be careful to keep all the law I commanded your fathers, and that I sent to you by my servants the prophets." + +\s5 +\v 14 But they would not listen; instead they were very stubborn like their fathers who did not trust in Yahweh their God. +\v 15 They rejected his statutes and the covenant that he had made with their ancestors, and the covenant decrees that he had given to them. They followed useless practices and they themselves became useless. They followed the pagan nations who were around them, those that Yahweh had commanded them not to imitate. + +\s5 +\v 16 They ignored all the commandments of Yahweh their God. They made cast metal figures of two calves to worship. They made an Asherah pole, and they worshiped all the stars of the heavens and Baal. +\v 17 They sacrificed their sons and daughters in the fire as burnt offerings, used divination and enchantments, sold themselves to do that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, and provoked him to anger. +\v 18 Therefore Yahweh was very angry with Israel and removed them out of his sight. There was no one left but the tribe of Judah alone. + +\s5 +\p +\v 19 Even Judah did not keep the commandments of Yahweh their God, but instead followed in the same pagan practices that Israel was following. +\v 20 So Yahweh rejected all the descendants of Israel; he afflicted them and gave them into the hand of those who would take the possession as spoil, until he had cast them out of his sight. + +\s5 +\v 21 He tore Israel from the royal line of David, and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king. Jeroboam drove Israel away from following Yahweh and made them commit a great sin. +\v 22 The people of Israel followed all the sins of Jeroboam and they did not depart from them, +\v 23 so Yahweh removed Israel from his sight, as he had said through all his servants the prophets that he would. So Israel was carried away out of their own land to Assyria, and it is this way to this present day. + +\s5 +\p +\v 24 The king of Assyria brought people from Babylon and from Cuthah, and from Avva, and from Hamath and Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria in place of the people of Israel. They took over Samaria and lived in its cities. +\v 25 It happened at the beginning of their residence there that they did not honor Yahweh. So Yahweh sent lions among them which killed some of them. +\v 26 So they spoke to the king of Assyria, saying, "The nations that you have carried away and placed in the cities of Samaria do not know the practices required by the god of the land. So he has sent lions among them, and, see, the lions are killing people there because they do not know the practices required by the god of the land." + +\s5 +\p +\v 27 Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, "Take one of the priests there whom you brought from there, and let him go and live there, and let him teach them the practices required by the god of the land." +\v 28 So one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and lived in Bethel; he taught them how they should honor Yahweh. + +\s5 +\v 29 Every ethnic group made gods of their own, and put them in the shrines that the Samaritans had made - every ethnic group in the cities where they lived. +\v 30 The people of Babylon made Succoth Benoth; the people of Cuth made Nergal; the people of Hamath made Ashima; +\v 31 the Awites made Nibhaz and Tartak; and the Sepharvites burned their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of the Sepharvites. + +\s5 +\v 32 They also honored Yahweh, and appointed from among themselves priests of the high places, who sacrificed for them in the temples at the shrines. +\v 33 They honored Yahweh and also worshiped their own gods, in the customs of the nations from among whom they had been taken away. + +\s5 +\p +\v 34 To this day they persist in their old customs. They neither honor Yahweh, nor do they follow the statutes, decrees, the law, or the commandments that Yahweh gave to the people of Jacob—whom he named Israel- +\v 35 and with whom Yahweh had made a covenant and commanded them, "You will not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor worship them, nor sacrifice to them. + +\s5 +\v 36 But Yahweh, who brought you up from the land of Egypt with great power and a raised arm, is the one you must honor; it is to him that you will prostrate yourselves, and it is to him that will you sacrifice. +\v 37 The statutes and the decrees, the law and the commandments that he wrote for you, you will keep them forever. So you must not fear other gods, +\v 38 and the covenant that I have made with you, you will not forget; neither will you honor other gods. + +\s5 +\v 39 But Yahweh your God is who you will honor. He will rescue you from the might of your enemies." +\v 40 They would not listen, because they continued to do what they had done in the past. +\v 41 So these nations feared Yahweh and they also worshiped their carved figures, and their children did the same—as did their children's children. They continue to do what their ancestors did, up to this day. + + + diff --git a/12-2KI/18.usfm b/12-2KI/18.usfm index 7e05201f..c3733e02 100644 --- a/12-2KI/18.usfm +++ b/12-2KI/18.usfm @@ -1,79 +1,79 @@ - - -\s5 -\c 18 -\p -\v 1 Now in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign. -\v 2 He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem.

It will be granted to you." + +\s5 +\v 13 Esther said, "If it pleases the king, let the Jews who are in Susa be permitted to carry out this day's decree tomorrow also, and let the bodies of Haman's ten sons be hanged on gallows." +\v 14 So the king commanded that this be done. A decree was issued in Susa, and they hanged the ten sons of Haman. + +\s5 +\v 15 The Jews who were in Susa came together on the fourteenth day of the month of Adar, and killed three hundred more men in Susa, but laid no hands on the plunder. +\v 16 The rest of the Jews who were in the king's provinces came together to defend their lives, and they got relief from their enemies and killed seventy-five thousand of those who hated them, but they did not lay their hands on the valuables of those they killed. + +\s5 +\p +\v 17 On the thirteenth day of the month of Adar, on the fourteenth day, they rested and made that a day of feasting and gladness. +\v 18 But the Jews who were in Susa assembled together on the thirteenth and the fourteenth days. On the fifteenth day they rested and made it a day of feasting and gladness. +\v 19 That is why the Jews of the villages, who make their homes in the rural towns, observe the fourteenth day of the month of Adar as a day of gladness and feasting, and as a day on which they send gifts of food to one another. + +\s5 +\p +\v 20 Mordecai recorded these things and sent letters to all the Jews who were in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, both near and far, +\v 21 obligating them to keep the fourteenth and the fifteenth day of Adar every year. +\v 22 These were the days when the Jews got relief from their enemies, and the time when their sorrow was turned to joy, and from mourning into a holiday. They were to make them days of feasting and gladness, and of sending gifts of food to one another, and gifts to the poor. + +\s5 +\v 23 So the Jews continued the celebration they had begun, doing what Mordecai had written to them. +\v 24 At that time Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had plotted against the Jews to destroy them, and he threw Pur (that is, he threw lots), to crush and destroy them. +\v 25 But when the matter came before the king, he gave orders by letters that the wicked plan Haman developed against the Jews should come back on his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows. + +\s5 +\p +\v 26 Therefore they called these days Purim, after the name of Pur. Because of everything that was written in this letter, and everything that they had seen and that had happened to them, +\v 27 the Jews accepted a new custom and duty. This custom would be for themselves, their descendants, and everyone who joined them. It would be that they would celebrate these two days every year. They would celebrate them in a certain way and at the same time each year. +\v 28 These days were to be celebrated and observed in every generation, every family, every province, and every city. These Jews and their descendants would never cease to faithfully observe these days of Purim, so that they should never forget them. + +\s5 +\p +\v 29 Queen Esther daughter of Abihail and Mordecai the Jew wrote with full authority and confirmed this second letter about Purim. + +\s5 +\v 30 Letters were sent to all the Jews in the 127 provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, wishing the Jews safety and truth. +\v 31 These letters confirmed the days of Purim at their appointed times, as Mordecai the Jew and Queen Esther obligated the Jews. The Jews accepted this obligation for themselves and their descendants, just as also they accepted times of fasting and lamenting. +\v 32 The command of Esther confirmed these regulations regarding Purim, and it was written in the book. + + + diff --git a/18-JOB/01.usfm b/18-JOB/01.usfm index d35e7892..b1887b6c 100644 --- a/18-JOB/01.usfm +++ b/18-JOB/01.usfm @@ -1,44 +1,44 @@ -\s5 -\c 1 -\p -\v 1 There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job; and Job was blameless and upright, one who feared God and turned from evil. -\v 2 There were born to him seven sons and three daughters. -\v 3 He possessed seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred pairs of oxen, and five hundred donkeys and a great many servants.

Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this, 'If you actually set out to go to Egypt, to go and live there, +\v 16 then the sword that you fear will overtake you there in the land of Egypt. The famine that you are worrying about will pursue you to Egypt. And you will die there. +\v 17 So it will happen that all the men who set out to go to Egypt to live there will die by sword, famine, or plague. There will be no survivor of them, no one to escape the disaster that I will bring on them. + +\s5 +\p +\v 18 For Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this: Just as my wrath and my fury were poured out on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, in the same way my fury will be poured out on you if you go to Egypt. You will become an object of cursing and a horror, an object for speaking curses, and something dishonorable. And you will not see this place again.'" +\v 19 Then Jeremiah said, "Yahweh has spoken concerning you—the remnant of Judah. Do not go to Egypt!
