24:1 And the Word of Yehovah was to me in the ninth year, in the tenth new moon, in the tenth of the new moon, saying110,
24:2 son of man, write for yourself the name of the day, this very day. The king of Babylon has leaned toward Yerushalayim in this very day.
24:3 And parable a parable to the house of rebellion, and say to them, So says Adonai Yehovah: Set on the pot! Set it on, and also pour water in it.
24:4 Gather its pieces into it, every good piece, the thigh and the shoulder. Fill it with choice bones,
24:5 take the choice of the flock and also pile the bones under it. Boiling make it boil. Also let them seethe its bones in it.
24:6 So Adonai Yehovah says this: Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose rust is in it, and its rust has not gone out of it! Bring it out piece by piece. Let not a lot fall on it.
24:7 For her blood is in her midst, she set it on a shining rock. She did not pour it on the ground, to cover it with dust.
24:8 In order to cause fury to come up to take vengeance, I have put her blood on a shining rock, that it should not be covered.
24:9 So Adonai Yehovah says this: Woe to the bloody city! I also shall make great the pile,
24:10 and heap on the wood, kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and mix in the spice, and let the bones be burned.
24:11 Then make it stand on its coals empty, so that it may be hot and its bronze may glow, and its defilement be melted in its midst, that its rust may be consumed.
24:12 She is wearied with toil, and the increase of her rust did not go out, her rust will be in the fire.
24:13 In your defilement is wickedness. Because I have cleansed you, yet you are not cleansed, you shall not be cleansed from your defilement any more until I have caused My fury to cease on you.
24:14 I, Yehovah, have spoken; it shall come, and I will do it. I will not let go, and I will not spare, I will not pity. By your ways and by your doings they shall judge you, declares Adonai Yehovah.
24:15 And the Word of Yehovah was to me, saying,
24:16 son of man, look, I am taking from you the desire of your eyes with a stroke. Yet you shall not wail nor weep, and your tears shall not come111.
24:17 Groan, but be silent; do not make a mourning for her who died. Bind your turban on you, and put your sandals on your feet, and do not cover the mustache nor eat the bread of men.
24:18 And I spoke to the people in the morning. And my wife died in the evening. And I did in the morning as I was commanded.
24:19 And the people said to me, Will you not tell us what the things you are doing are to us?
24:20 Then I said to them, The Word of Yehovah was to me, saying,
24:21 Speak to the house of Yisrael, So says Adonai Yehovah: Look, I will profane My sanctuary, the pride of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pities. And your sons and your daughters whom you have forsaken shall fall by the sword.
24:22 And you shall do as I have done. You shall not cover over the mustache, and you shall not eat the bread of men.
24:23 And your turbans shall be on your heads and your sandals on your feet. You shall not wail nor weep, but you shall rot away in your iniquities, and each man groan to his brother.
24:24 So Ezekiel is for a sign to you. As all that he has done, you shall do. And when it comes, then you shall know that I am Adonai Yehovah.
24:25 And you, son of man, will it not be on the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their beauty, the desire of their eyes, and the lifting up of their soul, their sons and their daughters?
24:26 He will come in that day, he who escaped to you, to cause you to hear with your ears.
24:27 In that day your mouth shall be opened to the escaped one, and you shall speak and not be dumb any longer. And you shall be to them a sign, and they shall know that I am Yehovah.
25:1 And the Word of Yehovah was to me, saying,
25:2 son of man, set your face against the sons of Ammon and prophesy against them.
25:3 And say to the sons of Ammon, Hear the Word of Adonai Yehovah. So says Adonai Yehovah: Because you have said, Aha! against My sanctuary when it was profaned, and against the land of Yisrael when it was ruined, and against the house of Yehudah when they went into exile;
25:4 therefore, look, I will give you to the sons of the east112 for a possession. And they shall set their camp sites among you, and put among you their dwellings. They shall eat your fruit, and they shall drink your milk.
25:5 And I will give Rabbah for a pasture for camels, and the sons of Ammon for a resting place for flocks. And you shall know that I am Yehovah.
25:6 For so says Adonai Yehovah: Because you have clapped the hand, and you stamped the foot, and rejoiced with all your spite in your soul against the land of Yisrael;
25:7 Therefore, look, I will stretch out My hand on you and will give you as a prize to the nations. And I will cut you off from the peoples, and I will make you perish from the earth; I will destroy you, and you shall know that I am Yehovah.
25:8 So says Adonai Yehovah: Because Moab and Seir say, Look, the house of Yehudah is like all the nations.
25:9 So look! I will open the side of Moab from the cities, from his cities, from his borders, the glory of the land: Beth-Jeshimoth, Baal-Meon, and Kiriathaim.
25:10 To the sons of the east, with the sons of Ammon, even I will give it for a possession so that the sons of Ammon may not be remembered among the nations.
25:11 And I will execute judgments on Moab. And they shall know that I am Yehovah.
25:12 So says Adonai Yehovah: Because Edom has acted by taking vengeance against the house of Yehudah, and they are very guilty and are avenged on them,
25:13 Therefore, Adonai Yehovah says this: I will stretch My hand on Edom and will cut off from it man and beast, and I will lay it waste. From Teman even to Dedan they shall fall by the sword.
25:14 And I will put My vengeance on Edom by the hand of My people Yisrael. And they shall do in Edom as is My anger and as is My fury. And they shall know My vengeance, declares Adonai Yehovah.
25:15 So says Adonai Yehovah: Because the Philistines have acted in vengeance and have taken vengeance with spite in their soul, to destroy with perpetual hatred;
25:16 so Adonai Yehovah says this, Look, I will stretch My hand on the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethites and will destroy the rest of the coast of the sea.
25:17 And I will execute on them great vengeance with rebukes of fury. And when I put My vengeance on them, they will know that I am Yehovah.
26:1 And it was in the eleventh year, in the first of the new moon, the Word of Yehovah was to me, saying,
26:2 son of man, because Tyre has said against Yerushalayim, Aha! She is shattered, the doors of the peoples; she has turned to me, I shall be filled, she is laid waste.
26:3 So Adonai Yehovah says this, Look, I am against you, O Tyre. And I will cause many nations to go up against you, as the sea causes its waves to go up.
26:4 And they shall destroy the walls of Tyre and break down her towers. I will also scrape her dust from her and make her like a shining rock.
26:5 It shall be a spreading place for nets in the middle of the sea. For I have spoken, declares Adonai Yehovah. And she shall be a prize to the nations.
26:6 And her daughters who are in the field shall be killed by the sword. And they shall know that I am Yehovah.
26:7 For so says Adonai Yehovah: Look, I will bring on Tyre from the north, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, a king of kings, with horses and with chariots and with a company of horsemen, even many people.
26:8 He shall kill your daughters in the field with the sword. And he shall give siege walls against you and pour out a mound against you, and raise a buckler against you.
26:9 And he will set the blow of his ram against your walls, and he will break down your towers with his axes.
26:10 From the multitude of his horses their dust shall cover you. From the sound of the horsemen, and the wheels, and the chariots, your walls shall shake when he goes into your gates, as they enter a city that is breached.
26:11 With the hoofs of the horses, he will trample all your streets. He shall kill your people by the sword, and the pillars of your strength shall go down to the ground.
26:12 And they shall strip your wealth and plunder your merchandise. And they shall tear down your walls and destroy your desirable houses. And they shall set your stones and your timber and your dust in the midst of the water.
26:13 And I will make cease the noise of your songs. And the sound of your harps shall not be heard any more.
26:14 And I will make you like a shining rock. You shall be a spreading place for nets, you shall not be built any more. For I, Yehovah, have spoken, declares Adonai Yehovah.
26:15 So says Adonai Yehovah to Tyre: Shall not the coast lands shake at the sound of your fall, when the slain groan, in the slaying of the slaughter in your midst?
26:16 And all the rulers of the sea shall come down from their thrones and lay aside their robes and strip off their embroidered garments. They shall be clothed with trembling. They shall sit on the ground and shall tremble at every moment and be appalled at you.
26:17 And they shall lift up a lament for you and say to you, How you are perished, who lived by the seas, the city well praised, which was strong in the sea, she and her dwellers, who put their terrors on all living in her!
26:18 Now the coastlands shall tremble in the day of your fall. Yea, the coastlands by the sea shall be troubled at your going down.
26:19 For so says Adonai Yehovah: When I shall make you a ruined city, like the cities that do not have ones living in them, when I shall bring up on you the deep and great waters shall cover you.
26:20 And I will make you go down with those going down into the Pit, with the people of old time, and I shall set you in the earth's lowest parts, in places ruined from days of old, with ones who go to the Pit, so that you have no one living in you. But I gave glory in the land of the living.
26:21 I will give you terrors, and you will not be. Though you are sought, yet you shall not be found any more forever, declares Adonai Yehovah.
27:1 And the Word of Yehovah was to me, saying,
27:2 And you, son of man, lift up a lament in Tyre113.
27:3 And say to Tyre, Oh you who dwell at the entrances of the sea, a merchant of the peoples for many coast lands, so says Adonai Yehovah: O Tyre, you have said, I am perfect of beauty.
27:4 In the heart of the seas are your borders, your builders have perfected your beauty.
27:5 They have made for you all your planks of fir trees of Senir114. They have taken a cedar from Lebanon to make a mast for you.
27:6 They have made your oars of the oaks of Bashan. They made your deck with ivory from the coasts of Kittim, daughter of Assyria115.
27:7 Your sail was of fine linen with embroidered work from Mitsrayim, an ensign for you, violet and purple from the coasts, of Elishah was your covering.
27:8 The residents of Sidon and Arvad116 were rowers to you. Your wise ones, O Tyre, they were your sailors.
27:9 The elders of Gebal117 and her wise ones were with you, making strong your seams. All the ships of the sea and their seamen were with you, to exchange your merchandise.
27:10 Persia and Lud and Lydia were in your army, men of war to you; they hung the shield and the helmet in you. They gave your splendor.
27:11 The sons of Arvad and your army were on your walls all around, and warriors were in your towers. They hung their weapons on your walls all around, they have perfected your beauty.
27:12 Tarshish118 was your trader from the multitude of your wealth. With silver, iron, tin, and lead, they gave for your wares.
27:13 Javan, Tubal and Meshech, they were your merchants, they gave the souls of men and vessels of bronze for your goods.
27:14 From the house of Togarmah they gave horses and war horses and mules for your wares.
27:15 The sons of Dedan were your merchants, many coast lands were the traffic of your hand. Tusks of ivory and ebony they brought as your gift.
27:16 Syria was your trader from the multitude of your works; with jewels, purple, and embroidered work, and fine linen, and coral, and rubies they gave for your wares.
27:17 Yehudah and the land of Yisrael were your merchants; with wheat from Minnith and Pannag, and honey and oil and balm they gave for your goods.
27:18 Damascus was your trader in the multitude of your works, from the multitude of all your wealth, in the wine of Helbon, and white wool.
27:19 And Dan and Javan going about gave for your wares; smooth iron, cassia, and cane were among your goods.
27:20 Dedan was your merchant in loose cloths for riding.
27:21 Arabia and all the rulers of Kedar, they were traders of your land in lambs and rams and goats, in them was your trade.
27:22 The merchants of Sheba and Raamah were your merchants; with the chief of all the spices, and with every precious stone and gold, they gave for your wares.
27:23 Haran119, and Canneh, and Eden120, the merchants of Sheba, Assyria, Chilmad were your merchants.
27:24 They were your merchants in perfect things, in violet cloth and embroidered work, and in carpets of many colors, with tightly bound cords, and cedars among your merchandise.
27:25 The ships of Tarshish were the travelers of your goods. And you were filled and made very glorious in the heart of the seas.
27:26 Your rowers made you come into great waters, the east wind has broken you in the heart of the seas.
27:27 Your wealth and your wares and your goods, your seamen and your sailors making strong your seams, and the traders of your goods, and all your men of war who are in you, and all your assembly in your midst, shall fall into the heart of the seas in the day of your ruin.
27:28 At the sound of the cry of your sailors the pasture lands will shake.
27:29 And all who handle the oar shall come down from their ships, the seamen, all the sailors of the sea. They shall stand on the land,
27:30 and will make heard their voice against you, and will cry bitterly, and will cause dust to go up on their heads; they will wallow in the ashes.
27:31 And they shall be bald for you and gird with sackcloth; and they shall weep for you with bitterness of soul, a bitter wailing.
27:32 And in their wailing they shall lift up a lamentation and lament over you, saying, Who is like Tyre, as one silenced in the midst of the sea?
27:33 When your wares went out from the seas, you satisfied many peoples. With the plenty of your riches and your goods, you enriched the kings of the earth.
27:34 At this time you are broken from the seas. By the depths of the waters your goods and all your assembly have fallen in your midst.
27:35 All those living in the coastlands are appalled at you, and their kings are shivering in the tempest; their faces tremble.
27:36 The traders among the peoples hiss over you; you have become terrors. And until forever you shall not be.
28:1 And the Word of Yehovah was to me, saying,
28:2 son of man, say to the ruler of Tyre121, So says Adonai Yehovah, Because your heart is lifted up, and you have said, I am an El, I sit in the seat of Elohim, in the heart of the seas; yet you are a man, and not an El, though you give your heart as the heart of Elohim. (Is 14:13-14)
28:3 Look, you are wiser than Daniel. Every one of the secret things are not hidden to you.
28:4 With your wisdom and with your understanding you have made riches for yourself, and have worked gold and silver into your treasuries.
28:5 By your great wisdom, by your trade you have multiplied your riches, and your heart is lifted up because of your riches122.
28:6 So Adonai Yehovah says this: Because you have given your heart as the heart of Elohim,
28:7 look, so I will bring on you awesome strangers of the nations. And they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom and will profane your splendor.
28:8 They will cause you to go down to the Pit, and you shall die the deaths of the slain in the heart of the seas.
28:9 Will you still say, I am of the Elohim before him who strikes you? But you are a man, and not El, in the hands of him who kills you. (Is 14:16)
28:10 You shall die the deaths of the uncircumcised, by the hand of strangers. For I have spoken, says Adonai Yehovah.
28:11 And the Word of Yehovah was to me, saying,
28:12 son of man, lift up a lament over the king of Tyre, and say to him, So says Adonai Yehovah: You seal the measure, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
28:13 You have been in Eden, the garden of Elohim. Every precious stone was your covering; the ruby, the topaz, and the jasper, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the turquoise, and the carbuncle, and gold123; the workmanship of your tambourines and of your pipes in you. In the day you were created124, they were prepared.
28:14 You were the messenger that protected with your outstretched wings and I had put you in the set apart Mountain of Elohim, where you were. You walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire125.
28:15 You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created, until iniquity was found in you.
28:16 By the multitude of your trade, they filled your midst with violence, and you sinned. So I cast you profaned from the mountain of Elohim, and I destroyed you, O covering messenger, from among the stones of fire.
28:17 Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor. I have cast you to the earth. I will put you before kings, that they may see you. ) (Is 14:12-20)
28:18 By the host of your iniquities, by the iniquity of your trade, you have defiled your set apart places. So I brought a fire from your midst and it shall devour you, and I will give you for ashes on the earth in the sight of all who see you.
28:19 All who know you among the peoples shall be appalled at you. You shall be terrors, and you will not be forever.
28:20 And the Word of Yehovah was to me, saying,
28:21 son of man, set your face against Sidon and prophesy against her,
28:22 and say, So says Adonai Yehovah, Look, I am against you, O Sidon, and I will be glorified in your midst. And they shall know that I am Yehovah when I have done judgments in her and shall be sanctified by her.
28:23 And I will send a plague into her, and blood into her streets. And the slain will fall in her midst by the sword, on her from all around. And they shall know that I am Yehovah.
28:24 And there will not be a pricking brier or a painful thorn to the house of Yisrael any more from all who surround them, those who hate them. And they shall know that I am Adonai Yehovah.
28:25 So says Adonai Yehovah: When I have gathered the house of Yisrael from the peoples among whom they are dispersed, and have been sanctified in them in the sight of the nations, then they shall dwell on their land which I have given to My servant Ya'akov.
28:26 And they shall dwell in it securely and shall build houses and plant vineyards. Yes, they shall dwell securely, when I have done judgments on all those who hate them round about them. And they shall know that I am Yehovah their Elohim126. (Is 65:21)
29:1 In the tenth year, in the tenth new moon, in the twelfth of the new moon, the Word of Yehovah was to me, saying,
29:2 son of man, set your face against Pharaoh king of Mitsrayim127, and prophesy against him and against Mitsrayim, all of it.
29:3 Speak and say, So says Adonai Yehovah: Look, I am against you, Pharaoh king of Mitsrayim, the great monster who lies in the midst of his rivers, who has said, My river is mine, and I, even I, have made it.
29:4 But I will put hooks in your jaws, and I will cause the fish of your rivers to stick to your scales. And I will bring you up from the midst of your rivers, and all the fish of your rivers shall stick to your scales.
29:5 And I will leave you to the wilderness, you and all the fish of your rivers. You shall fall on the face of the field, you shall not be removed or gathered. I have given you to the beasts of the field and to the birds of the heavens for food.
29:6 And all those living in Mitsrayim shall know that I am Yehovah, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Yisrael.
29:7 When they took hold of you by your hand, you crushed and tore off all their shoulder. And when they leaned on you, you shattered and made all their loins stand.
29:8 So Adonai Yehovah says this: Look, I will bring on you a sword and cut off from you man and beast.
29:9 And the land of Mitsrayim shall become for a desolation and a waste, and they shall know that I am Yehovah, because he has said, The river is mine, and I have made it.
29:10 So, look, I am against you and against your rivers, and I will give the land of Mitsrayim for an utter waste and a desolation, from Migdol to Syene, even to the border of Ethiopia128.
29:11 The foot of man shall not pass through it, and the foot of beast shall not pass through it, and you shall not dwell forty years129.
29:12 And I will make the land of Mitsrayim a desolation in the midst of the lands that are desolate, and her cities shall be desolate among the wasted cities forty years. And I will disperse Mitsrayim among the nations and disperse them among the lands.
29:13 For so says Adonai Yehovah: At the end of forty years, I will gather Mitsrayim from the peoples there where they are scattered.
29:14 And I will return the captivity of Mitsrayim and will make them return to the land of Pathros, to the land of their origin. And they shall be a lowly kingdom there130.
29:15 It shall be the lowest of the kingdoms, and it shall not lift itself any more above the nations. And I will diminish them so that they will not rule over the nations.
29:16 And it shall not be any more as confidence for the house of Yisrael, recalling the iniquity of their turning after them. And they shall know that I am Adonai Yehovah.
29:17 And it happened in the twenty-seventh year, in the first new moon, in the first of the new moon, the Word of Yehovah was to me, saying,
29:18 son of man, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made his army to serve a great service against Tyre. Every head was made bald, and every shoulder was rubbed bare. Yet there was no hire to him or to his army from Tyre, for the service that he had served against it.
29:19 So Adonai Yehovah says this: Look, I will give to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon the land of Mitsrayim. And he shall lift up her host and plunder her plunder, and seize her prey. And it shall be hire for his army.
29:20 For his labor which he served against it, I have given him the land of Mitsrayim, because they worked for Me, declares Adonai Yehovah.
29:21 In that day I will make a horn spring up to the house of Yisrael, and I will give to you the opening of the mouth in their midst. And they shall know that I am Yehovah.
30:1 And the Word of Yehovah was to me, saying,
30:2 son of man, prophesy and say, So says Adonai Yehovah: Howl, Alas for the day! (Yoel 2:1)
30:3 For the day is near, even the Day of Yehovah is near, a day of clouds; it shall be the time of the nations131.
30:4 And the sword shall come on Mitsrayim132, and anguish shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Mitsrayim. And they shall take her host, and her foundations shall be razed.
30:5 Ethiopia, and Lydia, and Lud, and all the mixed people, and Chub, and the sons of the land of the covenant with them, shall fall by the sword.
30:6 So says Yehovah: Even those leaning on Mitsrayim shall fall, and the pride of her power shall go down. From Migdol to Syene they shall fall with her by the sword, declares Adonai Yehovah.
30:7 And they will be ruined amidst the lands being wasted. And her cities shall be in the midst of the desolated cities.
30:8 And they shall know that I am Yehovah when I set a fire in Mitsrayim, and all her helpers shall be crushed.
30:9 In that day messengers shall go out from before Me in ships, to terrify the confident Ethiopia, and anguish shall be on them as on the day of Mitsrayim. For look it is coming.
30:10 So says Adonai Yehovah: I will make the multitude of Mitsrayim cease by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.
30:11 He and his people with him, awesome of the nations, shall be brought to ruin the land. And they shall draw their swords against Mitsrayim and fill the lands with the slain.
30:12 And I will make the rivers dry and sell the land into the hand of evil ones. And I will waste the land and her fullness by the hand of strangers. I, Yehovah, have spoken.
30:13 So says Adonai Yehovah: I will also destroy the idols, and I will make vanities cease from Noph. And there shall not any longer be a ruler of the land of Mitsrayim. And I will put fear in the land of Mitsrayim.
30:14 And I will make Pathros desolate, and I will set a fire in Zoan, and I will do judgments in Thebes.
30:15 And I will pour my fury on Sin, the strength of Mitsrayim. And I will cut off the multitude of Thebes.
30:16 And I will set a fire in Mitsrayim; Sin agonizing shall agonize, and Thebes shall be broken through, and Noph shall have daily woes.
30:17 The young men of Aven and Pibeseth shall fall by the sword, and they shall go into captivity.
30:18 At Tahpanhes, the day has been dark when I shatter there the yokes of Mitsrayim. And the pride of her strength shall cease in her, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity.
30:19 And I will do judgments in Mitsrayim. And they shall know that I am Yehovah.
30:20 And it happened in the eleventh year, in the first new moon in the seventh of the new moon, the Word of Yehovah was to me, saying,
30:21 son of man, I have shattered the arm of Pharaoh king of Mitsrayim. And look, it shall not be bound up to give healing, to set a bandage to bind it, to make it strong to handle the sword.
30:22 So Adonai Yehovah says this: Look, I am against Pharaoh king of Mitsrayim, and I will shatter his arms, the strong one, and the shattered one. And I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.
30:23 And I will scatter Mitsrayim among the nations, and will sow them through the lands.
30:24 And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon and put My sword in his hand. But I will shatter the arms of Pharaoh, and he will groan with the groaning of the slain before him.
30:25 But I will make the arms of the king of Babylon stronger, and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall. And they shall know that I am Yehovah when I put My sword into the king of Babylon's hand. And he will stretch it against the land of Mitsrayim.
30:26 And I will scatter Mitsrayim among the nations and disperse them among the lands. And they shall know that I am Yehovah.
31:1 And it happened in the eleventh year, in the third new moon, on the first of the new moon, the Word of Yehovah was to me, saying,
31:2 son of man, speak to Pharaoh king of Mitsrayim and to his host: To whom are you like in your greatness?
31:3 Look, Assyria was like a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches and forest shade and exalted in height, and his top was among the thick boughs.
31:4 The waters made him great and the deep made him high with her rivers, going all around her planting, and she sent out her channels to all the trees of the field.
31:5 On account of this, his height was lifted up above all the trees of the field, and his boughs were multiplied, and his branches became long in his sending, because of the many waters.
31:6 All the birds of the heavens nested in his boughs, and under his branches all the beasts of the field gave birth, and in his shadow dwelt all great nations.
31:7 And he was fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches. For his root was to many waters.
31:8 The cedars did not overshadow him in the garden of Elohim. The fir trees were not like his boughs, and the plane trees were not like his branches. Every tree in the garden of Elohim was not like him in its beauty.
31:9 I have made him beautiful by his many branches, and all the trees of Eden that were in the garden of Elohim envied him.
31:10 So Adonai Yehovah says this: Because you were exalted in height, and he has set his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height,
31:11 so I have given him into the mighty hand of the nations. Surely, He shall deal with him; I have expelled him for his evil133.
31:12 And strangers have cut him off, the fearful of the nations, and have left him. His branches have fallen on the mountains and in all the valleys, and his boughs have been broken in all the ravines of the land. And all the people of the land have gone from his shadow and have left him.
31:13 All the birds of the heavens shall dwell on his ruin, and on his branches shall be all the beasts of the field,
31:14 in order that all the trees by the waters may not be exalted in their height, and do not give their top among the thick boughs, and do not stand up in their mighty exaltation, all drinking waters. For all of them are given to death to the earth's lowest parts, in the midst of the sons of men, with those going down into the Pit.
31:15 So says Adonai Yehovah: In the day he went down to Sheol, I caused a mourning. I covered the deep over him, and I held back her rivers, and many waters were restrained. And I darkened Lebanon on him, and all the trees of the field wilted away because of him.
31:16 I made the nations shake at the sound of his fall when I made him go out to Sheol with those going down into the Pit. And all the trees of Eden shall be cheered in the earth's lowest parts, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink waters.
31:17 They also went down with him into Sheol, to the slain of the sword, even his arm, who dwelt in his shadow in the midst of the nations.
31:18 To whom are you like in glory and greatness among Eden's trees? Yet you shall go down with the trees of Eden to the earth's lowest parts. You shall lie amidst the uncircumcised with the slain of the sword. He is Pharaoh and all his host, declares Adonai Yehovah.
32:1 And it happened in the twelfth year, in the twelfth new moon, on the first of the new moon, the Word of Yehovah was to me, saying,
32:2 son of man, lift up a lament over Pharaoh, king of Mitsrayim, and say to him, You were like a young lion of the nations, and you were like the monster in the seas. And you burst forth in your rivers and stirred up the waters with your feet and fouled their rivers134.
32:3 So says Adonai Yehovah: And I will spread out My net over you with an assembly of many peoples, and they will make you go up in My net.
32:4 Then I will leave you on the land; I will hurl you on the face of the field and will make all the birds of the heavens to dwell on you, And I will fill the beasts of all the earth from you.
32:5 And I will put your flesh on the mountains and fill the valleys with your heap.
32:6 And I will water the land with the discharge of your blood, to the mountains, and the ravines shall be full of you.
32:7 And I will cover the heavens when I quench you, and I will darken their stars. I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give its light.
32:8 I will darken all the luminaries of light in the heavens over you and will give darkness on your land, declares Adonai Yehovah135.
32:9 I will also vex the heart of many peoples when I bring your breaking among the nations, to the lands which you have not known.
32:10 And I will make many people appalled at you, and their kings will be horribly afraid at you, when I make My sword fly before their faces. And they shall quake at every moment, each man for his own life, in the day of your fall.
32:11 For so says Adonai Yehovah: The sword of the king of Babylon shall come on you.
32:12 By the swords of the mighty I will make your host fall, by the fearful of the nations, all of them. And they shall spoil the pride of Mitsrayim, and all its host shall be destroyed.
32:13 I will also destroy all her beasts from on the great waters, and the foot of man shall not stir them any longer, and the hoofs of beasts shall not stir them up.
32:14 Then I will make their waters sink and cause their rivers to go down like oil, says Adonai Yehovah.
32:15 When I shall make the land of Mitsrayim a ruin, and the land shall be wasted of its fullness when I shall strike all those who dwell in it; then they shall know that I am Yehovah.
32:16 This is a lamentation, and they shall lament her; the daughters of the nations shall lament her. Over Mitsrayim and over all her multitude, they shall lament her, declares Adonai Yehovah.
32:17 And it happened in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth of the new moon, the Word of Yehovah was to me, saying,
32:18 son of man, wail over the host of Mitsrayim, and bring it down, her and the daughters of the majestic nations, to the earth's lowest parts, with those going down to the Pit.
32:19 Than whom are you more lovely? Go down and be laid with the uncircumcised.
32:20 They shall fall in the midst of the slain of the sword. She is given to the sword; they draw her and all her multitudes.
32:21 The strong of the mighty shall speak to him from the midst of Sheol, they went with his helpers; they, the uncircumcised, lie slain by the sword.
32:22 There is Assyria and all her assembly. All around him are his graves, all of them are slain, fallen by the sword;
32:23 of whom are given her graves in the recesses of the Pit, and her assembly is all around her grave, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, because they gave terror in the land of the living.
32:24 There is Elam and all her multitude around her grave, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who went down uncircumcised into the earth's lowest parts, who gave their terror in the land of the living. Yet they bore their shame with those going down to the Pit.
32:25 In the midst of the slain they have put a bed for her, with all her multitude. Her graves are all around him, all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword. Though their terror was given in the land of the living, yet they have borne their shame with those going down to the Pit; he is put among the slain.
32:26 There is Meshech, Tubal136, and all her multitude. All around him are her graves, all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword, though they gave their terror in the land of the living.
32:27 And they shall not lie with the mighty of the uncircumcised who are fallen, who have gone down to Sheol with their weapons of war. And they have put their swords under their heads, but their iniquities shall be on their bones, though the terror of the mighty was in the land of the living.
32:28 And you shall be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised and shall lie with the slain by the sword.
32:29 There is Edom, her kings, and all her rulers, who in their might are given to be with the slain of the sword. They shall lie with the uncircumcised, and with those going down to the Pit.
32:30 These are the rulers of the north, all of them, and all the Sidonians, who have gone down with the slain in their terror. They are ashamed of their might. And they lie uncircumcised with those slain by the sword, and bear their shame with those going down to the Pit.
32:31 Pharaoh shall see them and be cheered over all his multitude, those slain by the sword, Pharaoh and all the army, declares Adonai Yehovah.
32:32 For I had put his terror in the land of the living, but he will be laid among the uncircumcised, with those slain by the sword, Pharaoh and all his multitude, declares Yehovah.
33:1 And the Word of Yehovah was to me, saying,
33:2 son of man, speak to the sons of your people and say to them: When I bring the sword on it, on a land, and take one man from the people of the land, their borders, and set him for a watchman to them,
33:3 and when he sees the sword coming on the land, and he blows the ram's horn and warns the people,
33:4 and the hearer hearing the sound of the ram's horn, and does not take warning, and the sword comes and takes him; his blood shall be on his own head.
33:5 He heard the sound of the ram's horn and took no warning; his blood shall be on himself. But he who took warning, he shall deliver his soul.
33:6 But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the ram's horn, and the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes a soul from them, he is taken in his iniquity. But I will require his blood from the watchman's hand.
33:7 And you, son of man, I gave you as a watchman to the house of Yisrael. And you shall hear the Word from My mouth and warn them from Me137.
33:8 When I say to the wicked, O wicked one, surely, you shall die! And you do not speak to warn the wicked one from his way, that wicked one shall die in his iniquity, but I will require his blood from your hand.
33:9 But you, if you warn the wicked from his way, to turn from it, and he does not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.
33:10 And you, son of man, say to the house of Yisrael, This you have spoken, saying, Surely our transgressions and our sins are on us, and we are rotting in them, even then shall we live?
33:11 Say to them, As I live, declares Adonai Yehovah, I do not have delight in the death of the wicked, except in the wicked turning from his way, and so to live. Turn! Turn from your evil ways! For why will you die, O house of Yisrael?
33:12 And you, son of man, say to the sons of your people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his trespass. And the evil of the evil, in the day he turns from his wickedness, he shall not fall by it. And the righteous shall not be able to live by it in the day he sins.
33:13 Though I say to the righteous, Surely, he shall live, yet he trusts in his own righteousness and commits iniquity, all his righteousness shall not be remembered; but he shall die for his iniquity which he has done.
33:14 And though I say to the wicked, Surely, you shall die; if he turns from his sin and does justice and righteousness,
33:15 if the wicked returns the pledge, he repays the thing stolen, he walks in the statutes of life, not doing iniquity, surely, he shall live; he shall not die.
33:16 All his sins which he has sinned shall not be remembered to him; he has done justice and righteousness, living he shall live.
33:17 Yet the sons of your people say, The way of Yehovah, is not fair. But they, even their way is not fair.
33:18 When the righteous turns from his righteousness and does iniquity, he shall even die by them.
33:19 But if the wicked turns from his wickedness, and does justice and righteousness, he shall live by them.
33:20 Yet you say, The way of Adonai is not fair. I shall judge you, each man by his ways, O house of Yisrael.
33:21 And it happened in the twelfth year, in the tenth new moon, on the fifth of the new moon of our exile, a fugitive out of Yerushalayim came to me, saying, The city has been stricken.
33:22 And the hand of Yehovah was on me in the evening before the fugitive came. And He opened my mouth until that one came in the morning. And my mouth was opened, and I was no longer dumb.(Ezek 3:26)
33:23 And the Word of Yehovah was to me, saying,
33:24 son of man, the residents of the ruins are speaking, these in the land of Yisrael, saying, Abraham was one, and he possessed the land; but we are many, the land is given to us for a possession138.
33:25 So say to them, So says Adonai Yehovah: You eat on the blood, and you lift your eyes up to your idols, and you shed blood. And shall you possess the land?
33:26 You stand on your sword, and you each do abominations, defiling his neighbor's wife. And shall you possess the land?
33:27 Say this to them, So says Adonai Yehovah: As I live, surely, those in the ruins shall fall by the sword? And I will give the one who is on the face of the field to the beasts to be eaten, and those in the forts and in the caves shall die by the plague.
33:28 For I shall make the land desolate and a waste, and the pride of her strength shall cease. And the heights of Yisrael shall be a waste that none will go through.
33:29 And they shall know that I am Yehovah, when I have made the land desolate and a waste because of all their abominations which they have done.
33:30 And you, son of man, the sons of your people are speaking about you beside the walls, and in the doors of the houses. And one speaks to another, each man with his brother, saying, Come now and hear what the Word coming from Yehovah is.
33:31 And they come to you as people come, and they sit before you as My people. And they hear your words, but they do not do them. For they produce much love with their mouth, but their heart goes after their unjust gain139.
33:32 And, look, you are to them as a singer of love songs with a beautiful voice, and playing well on an instrument. For they hear your words, but they are not doing them.
33:33 So when it comes (look, it is coming!), then they will know that a prophet has been in their midst140.
34:1 And the Word of Yehovah was to me, saying,
34:2 son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Yisrael. Prophesy and say to them, to the shepherds, So says Adonai Yehovah: Woe to the shepherds of Yisrael who are feeding themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the flock?
34:3 You eat the fat and clothe yourselves with the wool, you sacrifice the fat ones, and you do not feed the flock.
34:4 You have not strengthened the weak; and you have not healed the sick, and you have not bound up the broken. And the banished have not been brought back, and you have not sought the lost, but you rule them with force and with harshness.
34:5 And they were scattered for lack of a shepherd. And they became food to all the beasts of the field when they were scattered.
34:6 My sheep strayed through all the mountains and on every high hill. And My sheep were scattered on all the face of the earth, and none searched, and none sought for them.
34:7 For this reason, shepherds, hear the Word of Yehovah:
34:8 As I live, declares Adonai Yehovah, surely because My sheep became a prey, and My sheep became food for all the beasts of the field, from not having a shepherd, and because My shepherds did not search for My sheep, but the shepherds fed themselves and did not feed the flock,
34:9 so, O shepherds, hear the Word of Yehovah:
34:10 So says Adonai Yehovah: Look, I am against the shepherds, and I will require My sheep from their hand and cause them to cease from pasturing the flock. And the shepherds shall no longer feed themselves, for I will deliver My sheep from their mouth, and they will not be food to devour.
34:11 For so says Adonai Yehovah: Look, I Myself will search for My sheep, and seek them out.
34:12 As a shepherd seeks his flock in the day that he is among his scattered sheep, so I will seek out My sheep and will deliver them from all the places where they were scattered in a day of cloud, and thick cloud.
34:13 And I will bring them out from the peoples, and gather them from the lands, and I will bring them to their land and feed them on the mountains of Yisrael, by the ravines, and in all the dwelling places of the land.
34:14 I, even I, will feed them in a good pasture, and on the high mountains of Yisrael their fold shall be. They shall lie there in a good fold, and they shall feed in a fat pasture, all the mountains of Yisrael.
34:15 I will feed My sheep, and I will make them lie down, declares Adonai Yehovah.
34:16 I will seek the lost, and I will return the banished. And I will bind up the broken, and I will make the weak strong. But I will destroy the fat and the strong, I will feed them with judgment.
34:17 And you, My flock, so says Adonai Yehovah: Look, I judge between lamb and lamb, between rams and he-goats.
34:18 Is it a small thing to you to have fed on the good pasture, but you must trample the rest of your pastures with your feet? And have you drunk of the clear waters, but the rest you must foul with your feet?
34:19 And My sheep, what your feet have trampled, they must feed on, and they drink what your feet have fouled.
34:20 So Adonai Yehovah says this to them: Look, I, even I, will even judge between the fat lamb and the lean lamb.
34:21 Because you have thrust with side and with shoulder, and have pushed all the weak with your horns until you have scattered them to the outside.
34:22 I also will save My flock, and they shall no longer be for a prey. And I will judge between lamb and lamb.
34:23 And I will raise up over them one Shepherd. And He shall feed them. My servant David, He shall feed them, and He shall be their Shepherd.
34:24 And I, Yehovah, will be their Elohim, and My servant David shall be a ruler among them. I, Yehovah, have spoken.
34:25 And I will cut a covenant of shalom with them and make evil beasts cease out of the land. And they shall live in the wilderness securely and sleep in the forests.
34:26 And I will make them and the places around My hill a blessing. And I will bring down the shower in its season, there shall be showers of blessing.
34:27 And the tree of the field shall give its fruit, and the earth shall yield its increase. And they shall be securely on their land. And they shall know that I am Yehovah when I have broken the staffs of their yoke, and have rescued them from the hand of those who enslaved them.
34:28 And they shall not any more be a prey to the nations, and the beast of the land shall not eat them. But they shall live securely, and no one shall terrify them.
34:29 And I will raise up for them a planting place of name, and they shall not any more be of those gathered by famine in the land. And they shall not any more bear the shame of the nations.
34:30 And they shall know that I, Yehovah their Elohim, am with them, and they are My people, the house of Yisrael, declares Adonai Yehovah.
34:31 And you, My sheep, the sheep of My pasture, you are men. I am your Elohim, declares Adonai Yehovah.
35:1 And the Word of Yehovah was to me, saying,
35:2 son of man, set your face against Mount Seir141, and prophesy against it.
35:3 And say to it, So says Adonai Yehovah: Look, I am against you, Mount Seir, and I will stretch My hand against you, and I will make you a ruin and a waste.
35:4 I will lay your cities waste, and you shall be a ruin. And they shall know that I am Yehovah.
35:5 Because there was to you never-ending hatred, and you poured out the sons of Yisrael to the hands of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time of the iniquity of the end.
35:6 Therefore, As I live, declares Adonai Yehovah, surely for blood I appoint you, and blood shall pursue you. Since you have not hated blood, so blood shall pursue you.
35:7 And I will make Mount Seir a ruin and a waste, and cut off from it the one passing through, and the one returning.
35:8 And I will fill his mountains with his slain. In your hills and in your valleys, and in all your torrents, the slain by the sword shall fall in them.
35:9 I will make you ruins forever, and your cities shall not be inhabited. And you shall know that I am Yehovah.
35:10 Because you have said, These two nations and these two lands will be mine, and we shall possess it (yet Yehovah was there),
35:11 Therefore, As I live, declares Adonai Yehovah, I will act by your anger, and by envy which you have done out of your hatred against them, and I will be known among them when I have judged you.
35:12 And you shall know that I am Yehovah. I have heard all your revilings142 which you have spoken against the mountains of Yisrael, saying, Desolation! They are given to us for food!
35:13 And you magnified with your mouth against Me and have multiplied your words against Me; I have heard.
35:14 So says Adonai Yehovah: As all the earth rejoices, I will make you a ruin.
35:15 As you rejoiced at the inheritance of the house of Yisrael because they were a ruin, so I will do to you. You shall be a ruin, O Mount Seir, and all Edom, all of it! And they shall know that I am Yehovah.
36:1 And you, son of man, prophesy to Yisrael's mountains and say, O mountains of Yisrael, hear the Word of Yehovah143.
36:2 So says Adonai Yehovah: Because the enemy has spoken against you, saying, Aha! Everlasting heights have become a possession to us.
36:3 So prophesy and say, So says Adonai Yehovah: Because, yea, because of the wasting and crushing of you from all around, that you might be a possession to the rest of the nations, and you ascended on the tip of the tongue, and the whispering of the people.
36:4 Therefore, mountains of Yisrael, hear the Word of Adonai Yehovah: So says Adonai Yehovah to the mountains and to the hills, to the ravines and to the valleys, to the wastes of desolation, and to the forsaken cities which became a prey and a mocking to the rest of the nations all around.
36:5 So Adonai Yehovah says this: Surely I have spoken in the fire of My jealousy against the rest of the nations, and against Edom, all those of her who have given My land to themselves for a possession with all joy of heart, with scorning of soul, in order to make it open land for a prey.
36:6 So prophesy concerning the land of Yisrael, and say to the mountains and to the hills, to the ravines and to the valleys, So says Adonai Yehovah: Look, I have spoken in My jealousy and in My fury, because you have borne the shame of the nations.
36:7 So Adonai Yehovah says this: I have lifted up My hand, surely the nations that surround you, they shall bear their shame.
36:8 But you, O mountains of Yisrael, you shall put out your branches and your fruit, you shall bear for My people Yisrael. For they are drawing near to come.
36:9 For look, I am for you, and I will turn to you, and you shall be tilled and sown.
36:10 And I will multiply men on you, all the house of Yisrael, all of it. And the cities shall be inhabited, and the wastes shall be built.
36:11 And I will multiply men on you, and beast, and they will increase and be fruitful. And I will make you dwell as you formerly were, and I will do better than at your beginnings. And you shall know that I am Yehovah.
36:12 Yea, I will cause men to walk on you, My people Yisrael; and they shall possess you, and you will be an inheritance to them and will not any more increase their bereavement.
36:13 So says Adonai Yehovah: Because they said to you, You are a devourer of men, and you have bereaved your nations;
36:14 so you shall no longer devour men, and you shall not make your nations fall any more, declares Adonai Yehovah.
36:15 And I will not let you bear the shame of the nations any longer, and you shall not bear the disgrace of the peoples any more, and you shall not cause your nations to fall any more, declares Adonai Yehovah.
36:16 And the Word of Yehovah was to me, saying,
36:17 son of man, when the house of Yisrael dwelt on their land, they even defiled it by their ways and by their doings. As the defilement of woman's impurity, their way was before Me.
36:18 So I poured out My fury on them, because of the blood that they had poured out on the land, and for their idols by which they defiled it.
36:19 And I scattered them among the nations, and they were sown among all the earth; I judged them by their way and by their doings.
36:20 And when they entered into the nations, there where they went, they even profaned My set apart name, by saying to them, These are the people of Yehovah, and they are gone out of His land.
36:21 But I had pity for My set apart name which the house of Yisrael had profaned among the nations, there where they went144.
36:22 Therefore, say to the house of Yisrael, So says Adonai Yehovah: I do not do this for your sake, O house of Yisrael, but only for My set apart name which you profaned among the nations, there where you went.
36:23 And I will sanctify My great name which was profaned among the nations, which you profaned among them. And the nations shall know that I am Yehovah, declares Adonai Yehovah, when I am sanctified in you, in their eyes.
36:24 For I will take you from the nations and gather you out of all the lands and bring you into your land145.
36:25 Then I will sprinkle pure waters on you, and you shall be purified. I will cleanse you from all your defilement and from all your idols146.
36:26 And I will also give you a new heart, and I will put a new ruach within you. And I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give to you a heart of flesh. (Yer 31:31-34)
36:27 And I will put My ruach within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you shall keep My judgments and do them. (Yoel 2:28)
36:28 And you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers. And you shall be a people to Me, and I will be Elohim to you.
36:29 I will also save you from all your defilements, and I will call for grain and increase it, and I will not put a famine on you. (Yoel 2:23-26)
36:30 And I will multiply the fruit of the tree and the produce of the field, in order that you will not any more receive the disgrace of famine among the nations.
36:31 And you will remember your evil ways and your doings that were not good, and you will despise yourselves in your own eyes for your iniquities and for your abominations.
36:32 Let it be known to you that I am not doing this for your sake, states Adonai Yehovah. Be ashamed and confounded for your ways, O house of Yisrael.
36:33 So says Adonai Yehovah: In the day I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be inhabited, and the wastes shall be built. (Lev 16:30, Is 49:8, Is 58:12)
36:34 And the desolated land shall be cultivated, rather than being a ruin in the eyes of all passing by.
36:35 And they shall say, This land that was desolated has become like the garden of Eden. And the wasted and desolated and razed cities are fortified and inhabited. (Yoel 2:3, Is 51:3)
36:36 And the nations left all around you shall know that I, Yehovah, built the razed places and planted that which was desolated. I, Yehovah have spoken it and will do it.
36:37 So says Adonai Yehovah: Yet for this I will be sought by the house of Yisrael, to act for them. I will increase them with men like a flock.
36:38 Like a set apart flock, like the flock of Yerushalayim in her appointed feasts, so the wasted cities shall be filled with flocks of men. And they shall know that I am Yehovah147. (Ps 122:3-4)
37:1 The hand of Yehovah was on me. And He brought me by the ruach of Yehovah and made me rest in the midst of a valley, and it was full of bones148.
37:2 And He made me pass among them all around. And, look, very many were on the face of the valley. And, look! They were very dry.
37:3 And He said to me, son of man, can these bones live? And I said, O Adonai Yehovah, You know.
37:4 And He said to me, Prophesy to these bones and say to them, O dry bones, hear the Word of Yehovah:
37:5 So says Adonai Yehovah to these bones, Look, I will make breath to enter into you, and you shall live,
37:6 and I will put on you sinews and will bring flesh on you and spread skin over you and put breath in you, and you shall live. And you shall know that I am Yehovah149.
37:7 So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I prophesied, there was a noise. And, look, a shaking! And the bones drew near, a bone to its bone.
37:8 And I saw. And, look! The sinews and the flesh came up on them, and the skin spread over them from above. But there was no breath in them.
37:9 Then He said to me, Prophesy to the ruach. Prophesy, son of man, and say to the ruach, So says Adonai Yehovah: Come from the four winds, O ruach, and breathe on these slain ones, that they may live150. (Eze 36:27)
37:10 So I prophesied as He commanded me, and the ruach came into them. And they lived and stood on their feet, a very great army. Dan 12:2
37:11 Then He said to me, son of man, these bones are all the house of Yisrael. Look, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is perished; we are cut off to ourselves151.
37:12 So prophesy and say to them, So says Adonai Yehovah: Look, I will open your graves and cause you to come up out of your graves, O My people, and I will bring you to the land of Yisrael152.
37:13 And you shall know that I am Yehovah when I have opened your graves and have brought you up out of your graves, O My people.
37:14 And I shall put My ruach within you, and you shall live; and I will put you on your own land. And you shall know that I, Yehovah, have spoken and have done it, says Yehovah.
37:15 And the Word of Yehovah was to me,
37:16 saying, And you, son of man, take one stick to yourself and write on it, For Yehudah, and for his companions, the sons of Yisrael. And take another stick and write on it, For Yoseph, the stick of Ephraim and all the house of Yisrael, his companions.
37:17 And draw them one to one for yourself, into one (echad) stick. And they shall become one (echad) in your hand153.
37:18 And when the sons of your people shall speak to you, saying, Will you not declare to us what these mean to you?
37:19 Say to them, So says Adonai Yehovah: Look, I will take the stick of Yoseph which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Yisrael, his companions. And I will put them with him, with the stick of Yehudah, and I will make them one stick, and they shall be one (echad) in My hand.
37:20 And the sticks shall be in your hand, the ones on which you write before their eyes.
37:21 And say to them, So says Adonai Yehovah: Look, I will take the sons of Yisrael from among the nations, there where they have gone, and will gather them from all around, and will bring them into their own land.
37:22 And I will make them one (echad) nation in the land, on the mountains of Yisrael, and one King shall be for a king to all of them. And they shall not be two nations anymore. And they will not be split into two kingdoms any more.
37:23 And they will not still be defiled with their idols, even with their filthy idols, nor with all of their transgressions. But I will save them out of all their dwelling places where they have sinned in them, and I will cleanse them. So they shall be for a people to Me and I will be for Elohim to them.
37:24 And My servant, David, shall be King over them. And there shall be one Shepherd to all of them. And they shall walk in My judgments and keep My statutes, and do them154.
37:25 And they shall dwell on the land that I have given to My servant, to Ya'akov, there where your fathers dwelt in it. And they shall dwell on it, they and their sons, and the sons of their sons, forever. And My servant David shall be a ruler to them forever.
37:26 And I will cut a covenant of shalom with them, an everlasting covenant it shall be with them, And I will place them and multiply them, and I will put (Aleph/Tav) My sanctuary in their midst forever. (Eze 34:24-25)
37:27 And My tabernacle shall be with them, and I will be their Elohim, and they shall be My people. (Eze 34:30)
37:28 And when My sanctuary shall be in their midst forever, the nations shall know that I, Yehovah, sanctify Yisrael.
38:1 And the Word of Yehovah was to me, saying,
38:2 son of man, set your face against Gog, the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him.
38:3 And say, So says Adonai Yehovah: Look, I am against you, O Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal.
38:4 And I will turn you back and put hooks into your jaws. And I will bring you and all your army out: horses and horsemen, all of them clothed most perfectly; a great assembly with buckler and shield, all of them swordsmen.
38:5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya are with them, all of them with shield and helmet;
38:6 Gomer and all its bands; the house of Togarmah from the recesses of the north, and all its bands; many peoples are with you.
38:7 Be prepared; yea, prepared for yourself, you and all your assembly that are assembled to you, and be a guard to them.
38:8 After many days you shall be visited. In the after years155 you shall come into the land turned back from the sword, gathered out of many peoples, on the mountains of Yisrael which have been for a continual waste. But he has been brought out of the peoples, and they shall dwell securely, all of them.
38:9 And you shall go up, you shall come like a storm; you shall be like a cloud to cover the land, you and all your bands, and many peoples with you.
38:10 So says Adonai Yehovah: And it shall be in that day, words shall come up into your heart, and you shall devise an evil plan.
38:11 And you shall say, I will go up to the land of open spaces. I will go to those at ease, who live securely, all of them living with no walls, and there are no bars and gates to them156,
38:12 in order to spoil a spoil, and to steal a prize, to turn your hand on the inhabited waste places, and on the people gathered out of the nations, producing livestock and goods, who dwell in the center of the earth.
38:13 Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish, and all its young lions, shall say to you, Have you come to plunder a plunder? Have you gathered your assembly to steal a prize, to lift up silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods, to spoil a great spoil?
38:14 So prophesy, son of man, and say to Gog, So says Adonai Yehovah: Shall you not know in that day when My people Yisrael dwells securely?
38:15 And you shall come from your place out of the recesses of the north, you and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great assembly, a mighty army.
38:16 And you shall come up on My people Yisrael like a cloud, to cover the land. It shall be in the after days, and I will bring you against My land so that the nations may know Me, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes, Gog. (Rev 16:12-16)
38:17 So says Adonai Yehovah: Are you he of whom I have spoken in former days by the hand of My servants, the prophets of Yisrael, who prophesied in those days and years, to bring you against them?
38:18 And it shall be on that day, when Gog comes against the land of Yisrael, declares Adonai Yehovah, My fury shall come up in My face.
38:19 And in My jealousy, in the fire of My wrath, I have spoken. Surely, in that day there shall be a great quaking in the land of Yisrael.
38:20 And the fish of the sea, and the birds of the heavens, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep on the earth, and all men on the face of the earth, shall quake at My face. And the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground. (Nah 1:5-6)
38:21 And I shall call a sword against him on all My mountains, declares Adonai Yehovah. Each man's sword shall be against his brother.
38:22 And I will judge him with a plague and with blood, and an overflowing shower, and hailstones. I will rain fire and brimstone on him, and on his bands, and on the many peoples who are with him.
(Rev 9:7, 16:21)
38:23 And I will magnify Myself and sanctify Myself. And I will be known in the eyes of the many nations, and they shall know that I am Yehovah.
(Eze 20:42, Eze 36:23)
39:1 And you, son of man, prophesy against Gog and say, So says Adonai Yehovah: Look, I am against you, O Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal.
39:2 And I will turn you back and lead you on. And I will bring you up from the recesses of the north, and will bring you on the mountains of Yisrael.
39:3 And I will strike your bow out of your left hand, and I will cause your arrows to fall out of your right hand.
39:4 You shall fall on the mountains of Yisrael, you and all your bands, and the people with you. I will give you for food to the birds of prey, a bird of every wing, and to the beasts of the field. (Rev 19:17-18)
39:5 You shall fall on the face of the field, for I have spoken, declares Adonai Yehovah.
39:6 And I will send a fire on Magog, and on those living securely on the coasts. And they shall know that I am Yehovah.
39:7 And I will make My set apart name known in the midst of My people Yisrael157. And I will not let My set apart name be profaned any more. And the nations shall know that I am Yehovah, the set apart One of Yisrael.
39:8 Look! It has come, and it has happened, declares Adonai Yehovah. That is the day of which I have spoken.
39:9 And those living in the cities of Yisrael shall go out and shall set afire and burn the weapons, even the shield and the buckler, the bow and the arrows, and the hand staff, and the spears. And they shall burn them with fire seven years. (Mic 4:3)
39:10 And they shall not take wood out of the field and shall not cut down out of the forest. For they shall burn the weapons with fire. And they shall plunder those who plundered them, and rob those who robbed them, declares Adonai Yehovah.
39:11 And it will be on that day, I will give to Gog a place there, a grave in Yisrael, the valley of those who pass by, east of the sea. And it shall stop those who pass by. And they shall bury Gog and all his multitude there, and they shall call it The Valley of the Multitude of Gog.
39:12 And the house of Yisrael shall bury them, in order to cleanse the land, seven new moons.
39:13 And the people of the land shall bury. And it shall be for a name to them, the day when I am glorified, declares Adonai Yehovah.
39:14 And they shall separate men who continually pass through the land, burying those who passed through, who remain on the face of the earth, to cleanse it. At the end of seven new moons, they shall make a search.
39:15 And as they pass, those who pass through the land, and any sees a bone of a man, then he shall build a post beside it until the ones burying have buried it in The Valley of the Multitude of Gog.
39:16 And also the name of the city is Hamunah158 (The Multitude). And they shall cleanse the land.
39:17 And you, son of man, So says Adonai Yehovah: Say to the bird of every wing, and to every beast of the field: Gather yourselves and come, collect yourselves from all around to My sacrifice which I sacrifice for you, a great sacrifice on the mountains of Yisrael, so that you may eat flesh and drink blood. (Rev 19:17-18)
39:18 You shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the rulers of the earth, of rams, lambs, goats, and bulls, all of them fatlings of Bashan.
39:19 And you shall eat fat until you are full, and drink blood until drunkenness, of My sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.
39:20 And you shall be satisfied at My table with horses and chariots, and mighty men, all the men of war, declares Adonai Yehovah. (Rev 19:19)
39:21 And I will put My glory among the nations, and all the nations shall see My judgments which I have done, and My hand that I have laid on them.
39:22 So the house of Yisrael shall know that I am Yehovah their Elohim, from that day and onward159.
39:23 And the nations shall know that the house of Yisrael was exiled for their iniquity. Because they betrayed Me, so I hid My face from them and gave them into the hand of their enemies. And they fell by the sword, all of them.
39:24 According to their uncleanness and according to their sins, I have done to them, and have hidden My face from them.
39:25 So Adonai Yehovah says this: Now I will return the captivity of Ya'akov and will have mercy on all the house of Yisrael. And I will be jealous for My set apart name.
39:26 And also after they have borne their shame, and all their treachery which they have done against Me, when they dwell on their land securely, and no one terrifies;
39:27 when I have returned them from the peoples, and gathered them out of the hand of their enemies, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations,
39:28 then they shall know that I am Yehovah their Elohim who exiled them among the nations. But I have gathered them to their own land and have not left any of them there.
39:29 And I will not any more hide My face from them, for I have poured out My ruach on the house of Yisrael, declares Adonai Yehovah.
40:1 In the twenty fifth year of our exile, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth of the new moon160, in the fourteenth year after the city was struck, on that same day the hand of Yehovah was on me, and He brought me there.
40:2 In the visions of Elohim He brought me into the land of Yisrael and made me rest on a very high mountain. And it was as the structure of a city on the south.
40:3 And He brought me there; and, look, a man whose appearance was as the appearance of bronze, and a line of flax and a measuring reed in his hand. And he stood in the gate161.
40:4 And the man said to me, son of man, look with your eyes, and hear with your ears, and set your heart on all that I shall make you see. For in order to make you see, you are brought here. Declare to the house of Yisrael all that you see162.
40:5 And, look, a wall on the outside of the house all around. And a measuring reed was in the man's hand, six cubits, with a cubit163 and a span. So he measured the breadth of the building, one reed164; and the height, one reed.
40:6 And he came to the gate which faced eastward, and he went up its steps and measured the threshold of the gate, one reed wide, even the one threshold, one reed wide.
40:7 And a room, one reed long and one reed wide, and between the rooms were five cubits. And the threshold of the gate from beside the porch of the gate, from the house, was one reed.
40:8 And he measured the porch of the gate from the house, one reed.
40:9 And he measured the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and its pillars, two cubits, also the porch of the gate from the house.
40:10 And the gate rooms eastward were three from here, and three from there, one measure to the three of them; and one measure was to the pillars, from here and from there.
40:11 And he measured the breadth of the gate opening, ten cubits; the length of the gate was thirteen cubits.
40:12 And the border in front of the rooms was one cubit; and the border from here, one cubit. And the room was six cubits from here, and six cubits from there.
40:13 And he measured the gate of the room from roof to roof, twenty five cubits wide, door to door.
40:14 He also made the pillars, sixty cubits, even to the court pillar, from the gate all around.
40:15 And on the face of the entrance gate, to the face of the porch of the inner gate, was fifty cubits;
40:16 and latticed windows were to the rooms and to their pillars inside the gate all around; and so for the porches; and windows were all around inside; and to a pillar were palm trees.
40:17 And he brought me into the outer court. And, look, rooms, and a pavement made for the court all around. Thirty rooms were on the pavement.
40:18 And the pavement by the side of the gates to equal the length of the gates was the lower pavement.
40:19 And he measured the breadth from the face of the lower gate to the face of the inner court, on the outside, a hundred cubits eastward and northward.
40:20 And the gate which faces the way of the north of the outer court, he measured its length and its breadth.
40:21 And its rooms were three from here, and three from there. And its pillars and its porches were as the first measure: its length was fifty cubits and its breadth twenty five cubits.
40:22 And its windows, and its porches, and its palm trees were as the measure of the gate that faces eastward. And they went up to it by seven steps, and its porches were before them.
40:23 And the gate of the inner court was across from the gate toward the north and toward the east. And he measured from gate to gate, a hundred cubits.
40:24 And he led me southward. And look, a gate southward! And he measured its pillars and its porches according to these measures.
40:25 And windows were in it, and its porches all around like these windows. Fifty cubits were the length, and twenty five cubits the breadth.
40:26 And seven steps were going up to it, and its porches were before them. And palm trees were to it, one from here and one from there, to its pillars.
40:27 And a gate was to the inner court southward. And he measured from gate to gate, southward, a hundred cubits.
40:28 And he brought me to the inner court by the south gate. And he measured the south gate by these measures.
40:29 And its rooms, and its pillars, and its porches were as three measures. And windows were to it, and its porches all around. It was fifty cubits long and twenty five cubits wide.
40:30 And the porches all around were twenty five cubits long and five cubits wide.
40:31 And its porches were toward the outer court, and palm trees on its pillars. And its stairway had eight steps.
40:32 And he brought me into the inner court eastward. And he measured the gate by these measures.
40:33 And its rooms, and its pillars, and its porches were as these measures. And windows were to it and to its porches all around. It was fifty cubits long and twenty five cubits wide.
40:34 And its porches were toward the outer court. And palm trees were on its pillars from here and from there. And its stairway had eight steps.
40:35 And he brought me to the north gate and measured by these measures,
40:36 its rooms, its posts, and its porches. And windows were to it all around. It was fifty cubits long and twenty five cubits wide.
40:37 And its pillars were toward the outer court. And palm trees were on its pillars from here and from there; and its stairway had eight steps.
40:38 And the room and its door was by the pillars of the gates; they washed the burnt offering there.
40:39 And in the porch of the gate were two tables from here, and two tables from there, to slaughter the burnt offering on them, and the sin offering, and the guilt offering.
40:40 And to the side outside, as one goes up to the door of the gate northward were two tables. And on the other side at the porch of the gate were two tables.
40:41 Four tables were from here, and four tables from there, by the side of the gate, eight tables. They slaughter on them.
40:42 And the four tables for burnt offering were cut stone, one cubit and a half long, and one cubit and a half wide, and one cubit high. They also rested on them the instruments with which they slaughtered using them for the burnt offering and the sacrifice.
40:43 And the double hooks, one span, were fastened in the house all around; and on the tables was the flesh of the offering.
40:44 And from the outside to the inner court were the singers' chambers in the inner court beside the north gate. And their face was southward, the one beside the east gate looked the way of the north.
40:45 And he said to me, This chamber facing southward is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the house.
40:46 And the chamber facing northward is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the altar. They are the sons of Zadok who come near to Yehovah, of the sons of Levi, to minister to Him.
40:47 And he measured the court: a hundred cubits long and a hundred cubits wide, a square. And the altar was before the house.
40:48 And he brought me to the porch of the house and measured each pillar of the porch, five cubits from here, and five cubits from there. And the gate was three cubits wide from here, and three cubits from there.
40:49 The length of the porch was twenty cubits and eleven cubits wide, even with the steps by which they went up to it. And columns were by the pillars, one from here, and one from there.
41:1 And he brought me to the sanctuary and measured the pillars, six cubits wide from here, and six cubits wide from there, the width of the tent.
41:2 And the door was ten cubits wide. And the sides of the door were five cubits from here and five cubits from there. And he measured its length, forty cubits, and twenty cubits wide.
41:3 And he went inside and measured the pillars of the door, two cubits. And the door was six cubits, and the width of the door, seven cubits.
41:4 And he measured its length, twenty cubits, and the width, twenty cubits, to the face of the temple. And he said to me, This is the set apart of Holies.
41:5 And he measured the wall of the house, six cubits, and the width of each side room was four cubits all around the house.
41:6 And the side rooms were a side chamber over a side chamber, three stories, and thirty times. And they entered the wall of the house for the side rooms all around, that they may be fastened. But they were not fastened in the wall of the house.
41:7 And there was a widening and a winding upwards and upwards for the side chambers, for the winding around of the house went upward and upward, all around the house. On account of this the width of the house went up, and so from the lowest it went up to the highest by the middle story.
41:8 I also saw the height of the house all around, the foundations of the side rooms were a full reed, six cubits by joining.
41:9 The width of the wall which was for the side room to the outside was five cubits, and that which was left between the side chambers that were of the house.
41:10 And between the rooms was the width of twenty cubits circling the house all around.
41:11 And the door of the side chamber was toward the open space, one door northward, and one door southward. And the width of the place of the open space was five cubits all around.
41:12 And the building that was before the separate area at the end of the way of the west was seventy cubits wide. And the wall of the building was five cubits wide all around; and its length, ninety cubits.
41:13 And he measured the house, a hundred cubits long. And the separate area and the building and its wall were a hundred cubits long.
41:14 And the width of the face of the house, and the separate area toward the east, a hundred cubits.
41:15 And he measured the length of the building to the face of the separate area which was on its rear; and its gallery from here and from there was a hundred cubits, also the inner sanctuary, and the porches of the court,
41:16 the thresholds, and the latticed windows, and the galleries all around, their three stories opposite the threshold, were paneled with wood all around, and from the ground up to the windows, and the windows were covered
41:17 to that above the door, even to the inner house, and outside, and to all the wall all around inside and outside by measure.
41:18 And it was made with messengers and palm trees, and a palm tree was between messenger and messenger. And two faces were to a messenger,
41:19 the face of a man toward the palm tree from here, and a young lion's face toward the palm tree from there. It was made to all the house all around.
41:20 From the ground to above the door, messengers and palm trees were made, and on the wall of the sanctuary.
41:21 The sanctuary doorposts were squared, and the face of the sanctuary, the appearance of the one as the appearance of the other.
41:22 The altar of wood was three cubits high, and its length two cubits. And its corners, and its length, and its walls were wood. And he said to me, This is the table that is before Yehovah.
41:23 And two doors were to the sanctuary and the set apart Place.
41:24 And two doors were to each of the doors, two turning doors, two for the one door, and two for the other door.
41:25 And messengers and palm trees were made on them, on the doors of the sanctuary, like those made on the walls; and thick wood was on the face of the porch outside.
41:26 And latticed windows and palm trees were from here and from there on the sides of the porch, and the side chambers of the house, and wooden canopies.
42:1 And he brought me out into the outer court northward. And he brought me into the chamber that was across from the separate area, which was in front of the building to the north.
42:2 To the face of its length was a hundred cubits, toward the north door, and fifty cubits wide.
42:3 Across from the twenty cubits which were to the inner court, and opposite the pavement which was to the outer court, was gallery on the face of gallery, in three stories.
42:4 And before the rooms was a walk ten cubits wide, to the inside, a way of one cubit. And their doors were toward the north.
42:5 And the upper rooms were shorter, for the galleries used up more space than the lower and middle ones in the building.
42:6 For they were in three stories, and there were no columns to them like the columns of the courts. So the third was made narrower than the lower and middle stories from the ground.
42:7 And the wall that was outside near the rooms the way of the outer court, on the face of the rooms, its length was fifty cubits.
42:8 For the length of the rooms that were in the outer court was fifty cubits. And, look, in the face of the sanctuary was a hundred cubits.
42:9 And under these rooms was the entrance on the east side as one goes into them from the outer court.
42:10 In the width of the wall of the court eastward, to the face of the separate area, and to the face of the building were rooms.
42:11 And the way before them looked like the rooms which were northward, as their length, so their width. And all their exits were as their patterns and as their doors.
42:12 And as the doors of the rooms that were southward, there was a door in the head of the way, the way directly in the face of the wall, the way of the east, as one enters them.
42:13 And he said to me, The north chambers, the south chambers which are to the face of the separate area, they are set apart chambers, there where the priests shall eat, who approach to Yehovah in the set apart of the holies. There they shall lay the holiest of the set apart things, even the food offering and the sin offering, and the guilt offering. For the place is set apart.
42:14 When the priests enter, then they shall not go out of the sanctuary into the outer court, but they shall lay their clothes there by which they minister by them, for they are set apart. They shall put on other clothes and shall approach to that which is for the people.
42:15 And he finished measuring the inner house. And he brought me forth the way of the gate whose face is eastward, and measured all around.
42:16 He measured the east side with the measuring reed, five hundred reeds with the measuring reed, all around.
42:17 He measured the north side, five hundred reeds with the measuring reed, all around.
42:18 He measured the south side, five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.
42:19 He turned to the west side, measuring five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.
42:20 By the four sides he measured it. It had a wall all around, five hundred reeds long, and five hundred wide, to separate between the set apart and the common.
43:1 And he led me to the gate, the gate that faces eastward.
43:2 And, look, the glory of the Elohim of Yisrael came from the way of the east. And His voice was like the voice of many waters. And the earth shone from His glory. (Eze 11:23)
43:3 And the appearance of the vision which I saw was as the appearance which I saw when I came to destroy the city, and as the appearance that I saw by the river Chebar. And I fell on my face.
43:4 And the glory of Yehovah came into the house, the way of the gate facing eastward.
43:5 And the ruach took me up and brought me into the inner court. And, look, the glory of Yehovah filled the house!
43:6 And I heard one speaking to me from the house. And standing beside me was a Man.
43:7 And He said to me, son of man, the place of My throne and the place of the soles of My feet, there where I will dwell among the sons of Yisrael forever, even the house of Yisrael shall not defile My set apart name any more, they nor their kings, by their temple prostitution, nor by the corpses of their kings in their high places.
43:8 In their setting of their threshold by My threshold, and their door post beside My door post, and the wall between Me and them, even they have defiled My set apart name by their abominations that they have done. And I consumed them in My anger.
43:9 Now let them put away their temple prostitution and the corpses of their kings from Me, and I will dwell in their midst forever.
43:10 You, son of man, declare to the house of Yisrael, the sanctuary house, and they will blush from their iniquities. And let them measure its size.
43:11 And if they are ashamed of all that they have done, the form of the house, and its arrangement, and its exits, and its entrances, and all its forms, and all its statutes, and all its forms, and all its laws, make them known to them. And write them in their sight, so that they may observe all its form, and all its statutes, and do them165.
43:12 This is the law of the house: On the top of the mountain is all its border, all around, being most set apart. Look, this is the law of the house.
43:13 And these are the measures of the altar by the cubit: the cubit is a cubit and a span, even the base shall be a cubit, and the width a cubit, and its border on its edge all around shall be one span. And this is the upper part of the altar.
43:14 And from the base on the ground to the lower ledge shall be two cubits, and the width one cubit. And from the smaller ledge to the greater ledge shall be four cubits, and the width a cubit.
43:15 And the altar hearth shall be four cubits, and from the altar hearth and upward shall be four horns.
43:16 And the altar hearth shall be twelve cubits long, and twelve wide, square in its four sides.
43:17 And the ledge shall be fourteen long, fourteen wide, in its four sides. And the border around it shall be a half cubit, and the base for it a cubit all around. And its steps shall face the east.
43:18 And He said to me, son of man, so says Adonai Yehovah: These are the statutes of the altar in the day of its being made to offer on it burnt offerings, and to sprinkle on it blood.
43:19 And you shall give to the priests of the Levites, (they who are from the seed of Zadok, who approach to Me), declares Adonai Yehovah, to minister to Me, a bull, a son of the herd, for a sin offering.
43:20 And you shall take of its blood and put it on its four horns, and on the four corners of the ledge, and on the border all around. And you shall cleanse it and atone for it.
43:21 And you shall take the bull of the sin offering, and he shall burn it at the appointed place of the house outside the sanctuary.
43:22 And on the second day you shall bring a buck of the goats without blemish for a sin offering. And they shall cleanse the altar, as they cleansed it with the bull.
43:23 When you have finished cleansing, you shall bring a bull without blemish, a son of the herd, and a ram without blemish out of the flock.
43:24 And you shall bring them before Yehovah, and the priests shall throw salt on them, and they shall offer them for a burnt offering to Yehovah.
43:25 For seven days you shall daily prepare a he goat for a sin offering. And they shall prepare a bull, a son of the herd, and a ram out of the flock, ones without blemish.
43:26 They shall atone seven days for the altar, and cleanse it, and consecrate it.
43:27 And when the days are completed, it shall be on the eighth day and forward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings, and your shalom offerings, on the altar. And I will accept you, declares Adonai Yehovah.
44:1 And he brought me back the way of the gate of the outer sanctuary, facing east. And it was shut.
44:2 And Yehovah said to me, This gate shall be shut; it will not be opened. And a man shall not enter by it, because Yehovah, the Elohim of Yisrael, has entered by it; so it shall be shut166.
44:3 As for the prince, as prince he shall sit in it to eat bread before Yehovah167. He shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate, and by his way shall go out.
44:4 And he brought me by the way of the north gate, to the face of the house. And I looked, and, look, the glory of Yehovah filled the house of Yehovah,! And I fell on my face.
44:5 And Yehovah said to me, son of man, set your heart and see with your eyes, and hear with your ears all that I say to you of all the statutes of the house of Yehovah, and of all its laws. And set your heart to the entrance of the house, with all the exits of the sanctuary.
44:6 And you shall say to the rebellious ones, to the house of Yisrael, So says Adonai Yehovah: Enough to you, of all your abominations, O house of Yisrael,
44:7 when you brought in the sons of strangers, uncircumcised of heart and uncircumcised of flesh, to be in My sanctuary, to profane it, even My house168, when you bring near My bread, the fat and the blood. And they have broken My covenant by all your abominations.
44:8 And you have not kept the charge of My set apart things, but you have set them as keepers of My charge in My sanctuary, for themselves.
44:9 So says Adonai Yehovah: No son of an foreigner, uncircumcised of heart and uncircumcised of flesh, shall enter into My sanctuary, or any son of a foreigner who is among the sons of Yisrael169.
44:10 But the Levites who have gone far from Me, when Yisrael went astray, who went astray from Me, going after their idols, even they shall bear their iniquity.
44:11 Yet they shall do the menial tasks in My sanctuary, overseers at the gates of the house, and serving in the house. They shall slaughter the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them, to serve them.
44:12 Because they attended to them before their idols, and became a stumbling-block of iniquity to the house of Yisrael, therefore I have lifted up My hand against them, declares Adonai Yehovah. And they shall bear their iniquity.
44:13 And they shall not come near to Me to serve as priest to Me, nor come near to any of My set apart things, to the holiest of the set apart things, but they shall bear their shame and their abominations which they have done.
44:14 But I will give them to be keepers of the charge of the house to be bond-servants for all labour, and for all that shall be done in it170.
44:15 But the priests, the Levites, the sons of Zadok171, who kept the charge of My sanctuary when the sons of Yisrael went astray from Me, they shall come near to Me to minister to Me. And they shall stand before Me to bring near to Me the fat and the blood, declares Adonai Yehovah.
44:16 They shall enter into My sanctuary, and they shall come near to My table, to minister to Me. And they shall keep My charge.
44:17 And it shall be when they enter in the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments172. And wool shall not come upon them while they minister in the gates of the inner court, and in the house. (Rev 19:8)
44:18 Turbans of bleached linen shall be on their heads, and linen under-garments shall be on their loins. They shall not gird with sweat.
44:19 And when they go out into the outer court, to the outer court to the people, they shall put off their garments by which they ministered and lay them in the set apart chambers. And they shall put on other garments, and they shall not sanctify the people with their own garments.
44:20 And they shall not shave their heads, and they shall not send forth long hair; trimming they shall trim their heads. (1Cor 11:14)
44:21 And every priest shall not drink wine when they enter into the inner court. (Lev 10:9)
44:22 And they shall not take a widow or a divorcee, for wives for themselves, but they shall only take virgins of the seed of the house of Yisrael, or a widow who is the widow of a priest173.
44:23 And they shall teach My people between the set apart and the common, and between the unclean and the clean, to make them known174.
44:24 And in a dispute, they shall stand to judge, they shall judge it by My judgments. And they shall observe My Torah and My statutes in My appointed feasts, and they shall sanctify My Sabbaths175.
44:25 And he shall not come to a dead man, to defile himself; but for father, or for mother, or for a son, or for a daughter, for a brother, or for a sister who has not had a husband, they may defile themselves. (Lev 21:1-3)
44:26 And after he is cleansed, they shall count seven days for him.
44:27 And in the day he goes into the sanctuary, to the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he shall bring his sin offering, declares Adonai Yehovah.
44:28 And it shall be to them for an inheritance; I am their inheritance; and you shall not give them possession in Yisrael; I am their possession176.
44:29 They shall eat the food offering and the sin offering and the guilt offering. And every devoted thing in Yisrael shall be theirs. (Num 18:9, 14)
44:30 And the first of all the first-fruits of all, and every one of the heave offerings of all, of all your heave offerings, shall be for the priests. And you shall give to the priest the first of your dough, to cause a blessing to rest on your house177. (Num 18:12-13)
44:31 The priests shall not eat of every corpse and torn thing, of birds, or of beasts. (Lev 7:24)
45:1 And when you shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance, you shall offer a heave offering to Yehovah, a set apart portion of the land. The length shall be twenty five thousand cubits long and the width ten thousand178. It shall be set apart in all its borders all around.
45:2 Of this there shall be for the sanctuary five hundred by five hundred cubits, square all around, and fifty cubits of open space shall be all around.
45:3 And from this measure you shall measure the length, twenty five thousand cubits, and the width, ten thousand. And in it shall be the sanctuary, the set apart of holies.
45:4 It is the set apart portion of the land for the priests, it shall be for the ministers of the sanctuary who come near to minister to Yehovah. And it shall be for them a place for their houses, and a set apart place for the sanctuary.
45:5 And twenty five thousand cubits in length, and ten thousand in width shall be for the Levites, the ministers of the house, for them for a possession, twenty rooms.
45:6 And you shall give the possession of the city, five thousand cubits wide and twenty five thousand long, beside the heave offering of the set apart lot. It shall be for the whole house of Yisrael.
45:7 And a portion shall be for the prince from here, and from there, for the heave offering of the set apart place and of the possession of the city, to the face of the heave offering of the set apart place, from the west side westward, and from the east side eastward. And the length shall be alongside one of the portions, from the west border to the east border.
45:8 It shall be for a land to him, for a possession in Yisrael, and My rulers shall not oppress My people any more. And they shall give the land to the house of Yisrael according to their tribes.
45:9 So says Adonai Yehovah: Enough for you, O rulers of Yisrael! Turn away violence and oppression, and do justice and righteousness. Lift away your acts of violence from My people, declares Adonai Yehovah.
45:10 Just balances and a just ephah, and a just bath, let there be to you.
45:11 The ephah and the bath shall be one measure, that the bath may contain the tenth of the homer, and the tenth of the homer the ephah. Its measure shall be to the homer179.
45:12 And the shekel shall be twenty gerahs: Twenty shekels, twenty five shekels, fifteen shekels shall be a maneh to you.
45:13 This is the heave offering that you shall offer: the sixth of an ephah of a homer of wheat, and the sixth of an ephah of a homer of barley.
45:14 And the statute of oil, the bath of oil, the tenth of the bath out of the cor; (ten baths, a homer, for ten baths are a homer);
45:15 and one lamb out of the flock, out of two hundred, out of the watered land of Yisrael for a food offering, and for a burnt offering, and for shalom offerings, to atone for them, declares Adonai Yehovah180.
45:16 All the people of the land shall be at this heave offering for the prince in Yisrael.
45:17 And responsibility for burnt offerings shall be on the prince, and a food offering, and drink offerings, in the feasts and on the new moons and on the Sabbaths, in all the appointed feasts of the house of Yisrael181. He shall make the sin offering, and the food offering, and the burnt offering, and the shalom offerings, to atone for the house of Yisrael.
45:18 So says Adonai Yehovah: In the first new moon, on the first of the new moon, you shall take a bull without blemish, a son of the herd, and cleanse the sanctuary. (Ex 12:2)
45:19 And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering and put it on the door posts of the house, and on the four corners of the ledge of the altar, and on the gateposts of the inner court.
45:20 And so you shall do on the seventh of the new moon for each man who goes astray, and for the simple. And you shall atone for the house.
45:21 In the first new moon, in the fourteenth day of the new moon, the Pesach shall be to you; a feast of seven days, unleavened bread is eaten182.
45:22 And the prince shall make ready on that day for himself and for the people of the land, a bull for a sin offering.
45:23 And seven days of the feast he shall make ready a burnt offering to Yehovah, seven bulls and seven rams, without blemish, daily for the seven days, and for a sin offering a kid of the he-goats daily.
45:24 And a food offering of an ephah for a bull, and an ephah for a ram, he shall make ready; also of oil, a hin for an ephah.
45:25 In the seventh new moon, in the fifteenth day of the new moon, at the feast, he shall make ready like these seven days as the sin offering, as the burnt offering, as the food offering, and as the oil. (Ex 23:16, 34:22, Deut 16:16)
46:1 So says Adonai Yehovah: The gate of the inner court that faces the east shall be shut the six days of work. But on the Sabbath day it shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon it shall be opened183.
46:2 And the prince shall enter by way of the porch of the gate from outside and shall stand by the gatepost. And the priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his shalom offerings. And he shall worship at the threshold of the gate. Then he shall go out, but the gate shall not be shut until the evening.
46:3 And the people of the land shall worship at the door of that gate on the Sabbaths, and on the new moons, before Yehovah.
46:4 And the burnt offering that the prince shall bring near to Yehovah on the Sabbath day shall be six lambs without blemish, and a ram without blemish.
46:5 And the food offering shall be an ephah for a ram, and a food offering for the lambs, a gift of his hand; and a hin of oil to an ephah.
46:6 And in the day of the new moon: a bull without blemish, a son of the herd, and six lambs, and a ram, they shall be without blemish,
46:7 and an ephah for a bull and an ephah for a ram he shall prepare as a food offering; and for the lambs as his hand can reach; and a hin of oil to an ephah.
46:8 And when the prince shall enter, he shall enter by way of the porch of the gate, and by its way he shall go out.
46:9 But when the people of the land come before Yehovah at the appointed feasts, he who enters by way of the north gate to worship shall go out by way of the south gate. And he who enters by way of the south gate shall go out by way of the north gate. He shall not return by way of the gate by which he came in, but shall go out opposite it.
46:10 And the prince shall go in among them when they go in, and he shall go out when they go out.
46:11 And in the feast seasons, and in the appointed feasts, the food offering shall be an ephah to a bull, and an ephah to a ram, and to the lambs a gift of his hand; and a hin of oil to an ephah.
46:12 And when the prince makes a free offering, a burnt offering, or shalom offerings as a free offering to Yehovah, then one shall open to him the gate facing east. And he shall prepare his burnt offering and his shalom offerings as he does on the Sabbath day. And he shall go out, and the gate is shut after he goes out.
46:13 And you shall make ready a burnt offering daily to Yehovah, a lamb without blemish, a son of a year; from dawn to dawn you shall make it ready.
46:14 And you shall make ready a food offering for it from dawn to dawn, a sixth of an ephah, and a third of a hin of oil to wet the fine flour, a food offering to Yehovah, perfect statutes forever.
46:15 So they shall make ready the lamb, and the food offering, and the oil, from dawn to dawn as a burnt offering continually.
46:16 So says Adonai Yehovah: If the prince gives a gift to sons of his inheritance, it shall be to his sons; it is their possession by inheritance.
46:17 But if he gives it as a gift of his inheritance to one of his servants, then it shall be his until the year of liberty184, then it shall return to the prince. His inheritance is only his sons'; it shall be theirs.
46:18 And the prince shall not take of the people's inheritance, oppressing them from their possession. He shall give inheritance to his sons from his possession, so that My people shall not be dispersed, each man from his possession.
46:19 And he brought me through the entry which was at the side of the gate, into the set apart rooms for the priests, facing north. And, look, there was a place on the two sides westward.
46:20 And he said to me, This is the place, there where the priests shall boil the guilt offering, and the sin offering, where they shall bake the food offering, so as not to bring them out to the outer court to sanctify the people.
46:21 And he led me out to the outer court. And he made me pass by the four corners of the court. And, look, a court in each corner of the court, a court in each corner of the court.
46:22 In the four corners of the court were enclosed courts forty cubits long and thirty wide, one measure to the four of them, being made in corners.
46:23 And a row was around in them, around the four of them, and boiling places were made under the rows round about.
46:24 And he said to me, These are the houses of those who boil, there where the servants of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people.
47:1 And he made me turn back to the opening of the house. And, look, water came out from under the threshold of the house eastward. For the face of the house is east, and the water came down from under the right side of the house, at the south from the altar. (Rev 22:1-2, Ps 46:4)
47:2 And he led me out by way of the north gate, and led me around the way outside to the outer gate, by the way facing east. And, look, water was dropping out of the right side.
47:3 When the man went out eastward, and the line in his hand, he measured a thousand cubits. And he passed me through the water, water to the ankles.
47:4 And he measured a thousand and passed me through the water, water to the knees. And he measured a thousand, and passed me through water to the loins.
47:5 And he measured a thousand, and there was a torrent which I was not able to pass, for the water had risen, water to swim in, a torrent that could not be passed.
47:6 And he said to me, Have you seen, son of man? And he led me and made me return to the lip of the torrent.
47:7 When I returned, then, look, on the lip of the torrent were many trees on this side and on that side.
47:8 And he said to me, These waters go out toward the eastern circuit, and go down into the Aravah, and enter the sea. They are brought out into the sea, and the waters shall be healed.
47:9 And it shall be, every soul that lives, which swarms in every place, there where the two torrents go, that soul shall live. And there shall be very many fish, because these waters shall come there. And they shall be healed. And all shall live there where the torrent goes185.
47:10 And it will be, the fishermen shall stand on it; from En-Gedi even to En-Eglaim, a spreading place for nets shall be there; their fish shall be by its kind, like the fish of the Great Sea, very many.
47:11 Its swamps and its marshes shall not even be healed, they shall be given to salt.
47:12 And all trees for food shall go up by the torrent, on its lip on this side and on that. Its leaf shall not fade, and its fruit shall not fail; it will bear by its new moons, because its waters come out from the sanctuary. And its fruit shall be for food, and its leaf for healing medicine186.
47:13 So says Adonai Yehovah: This shall be the border by which you shall inherit the land, by the twelve tribes of Yisrael. Yoseph shall have two portions187.
47:14 And you shall inherit it, each man like his brother, that I lifted up My hand to give it to your fathers, even this land shall fall to you for an inheritance.
47:15 And this is the border of the land to the north side, from the Great Sea, the way of Hethlon to the entrance of Zedad: (Num 34:1-12)
47:16 Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazarhatticon, which is by the border of Hauran.
47:17 And the border shall be from the sea to Hazarenan, at the border of Damascus; and the north northward, even the border of Hamath. And this is the north side.
47:18 And you shall measure the east side from between Hauran, and Damascus, and Gilead, and the land of Yisrael; shall be the Jordan, from the border to the Eastern Sea, and this is the east side.
47:19 And the south side southward from Tamar to the waters of Meriboth-Kadesh, the torrent to the Great Sea. And this is the south side to the Negev.
47:20 And the west side is the Great Sea from the border until beside the entrance of Hamath; this is the west side.
47:21 And you shall divide this land for yourselves by the tribes of Yisrael.
47:22 And it will be, you shall divide by lot for an inheritance to yourselves, and to the foreigners who reside among you, who shall father sons among you. And they shall be to you as native born among the sons of Yisrael. They shall have an inheritance fall among the tribes of Yisrael.
47:23 And it shall be, in the tribe in which the foreigner resides, there you shall give his inheritance, declares Adonai Yehovah.
48:1 And these are the names of the tribes: From the north end, at the hand of the way of Hethlon, to the entrance of Hamath, Hazarenan, the border of Damascus northward, at the hand of Hamath; and there shall be to it an east side and a west: To Dan, one part.
48:2 And by the border of Dan, from the east side to the west side, Asher, one part.
48:3 And by the border of Asher, from the east side to the west side, Naphtali, one part.

48:7 And by the border of Reuben, from the east side even to the west side, Yehudah, one part.
48:8 And by the border of Yehudah, from the east side to the west side, shall be the heave offering which you shall offer, twenty five thousand cubits wide and long, as one of the parts, from the east side to the west side. And the sanctuary shall be in its midst.
48:9 The heave offering that you shall offer to Yehovah shall be twenty five thousand cubits long and ten thousand cubits wide.
48:10 And for these shall be the set apart heave offering for the priests: northward, twenty five thousand; and westward, ten thousand cubits wide; and eastward, ten thousand wide; and southward, twenty five thousand cubits long. And the sanctuary of Yehovah shall be in its midst,
48:11 for the priests who are sanctified, of the sons of Zadok, who have kept My charge, who did not go astray when the sons of Yisrael went astray, as the Levites went astray.
48:12 And the heave offering shall be theirs, from the heave offering of the land, the holiest of the set apart places, by the border of the Levites.
48:13 And the Levites shall have alongside the border of the priests twenty five thousand cubits long and ten thousand wide. All the length shall be twenty five thousand, and the width ten thousand.
48:14 And they shall not sell any of it, and shall not trade, and shall not cause to pass away the first-fruits of the land. For it is set apart to Yehovah188.
48:15 And the five thousand being left in the width in front of the twenty five thousand, it is common for the city, for dwelling and for open land. And the city shall be in its midst.
48:16 And these shall be its measures: the north side, four thousand and five hundred; and the south side, four thousand and five hundred cubits; and the east side, four thousand and five hundred; and the west side, four thousand and five hundred.
48:17 And the open land shall be of the city northward, two hundred and fifty cubits; and southward, two hundred and fifty; and eastward, two hundred and fifty; and westward, two hundred and fifty cubits.
48:18 And the remainder in length alongside the heave offering of the set apart parts shall be ten thousand eastward, and ten thousand westward. And it shall be alongside the heave offering of the set apart part. And its produce shall be for bread to those who serve the city.
48:19 And he who serves the city shall serve it out of all the tribes of Yisrael.
48:20 All the heave offering shall be twenty five thousand by twenty five thousand cubits, foursquare. You shall offer the set apart heave offering to the possession of the city.
48:21 And the remainder is for the prince, on this side and on that of the set apart heave offering, and of the possession of the city in the front of the twenty five thousand of the heave offering to the east border, and westward in the front of the twenty five thousand to the west border; alongside the parts of the prince. And it shall be a set apart heave offering, and the sanctuary of the house in its midst.
48:22 And to the prince shall be from the possession of the Levites, and from the city's possession, amidst that for the prince, between the border of Yehudah and the border of Benjamin.
48:23 And the rest of the tribes: From the east side to the west side, Benjamin, one part.
48:24 And by the border of Benjamin, from the east side to the west side, Simeon, one part.
48:25 And by the border of Simeon, from the east side to the west side, Yisachar, one part.

48:28 And by the border of Gad to the south side southward, from Tamar to the waters of Meriboth-Kadesh, to the torrent to the Great Sea.
48:29 This is the land which you shall make fall by lot for an inheritance to the tribes of Yisrael, and these their parts, declares Adonai Yehovah.
48:30 And these are the exits of the city on the north side, four thousand and five hundred measures.
48:31 And the gates of the city shall be by the names of the tribes of Yisrael: three gates northward, the gate of Reuben, one; the gate of Yehudah, one; the gate of Levi, one.
48:32 And at the east side four thousand five hundred, and three gates: even the gate of Yoseph, one; the gate of Benjamin, one; the gate of Dan, one.

48:35 All around it shall be eighteen thousand cubits. And the name of the city from that day shall be Yehovah IS THERE189.
