: 1 . Now it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the thirtieth <7970

sh@lowshiym > year <8141 shaneh > , in the fourth <7243

r@biy<iy > [ month ] , in the fifth <2568 chamesh > [ day ]

of the month <2320 chodesh > , as I [ was ] among <8432 tavek

> the captives <1473 gowlah > by the river <5104 nahar > of

Chebar <3529 K@bar > , [ that ] the heavens <8064 shamayim >

were opened <6605 pathach > , and I saw <7200 ra>ah > visions

<4759 mar>ah > of God <0430 >elohiym > .

: 2 In the fifth <2568 chamesh > [ day ] of the month <2320

chodesh > , which <1958 hiy > [ was ] the fifth <2549

chamiyshiy > year <8141 shaneh > of king <4428 melek >

Jehoiachin s <3112 Yowyakiyn > captivity <1546 galuwth > ,

: 3 The word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came

<1961 hayah > expressly unto Ezekiel <3168 Y@chezqe>l > the

priest <3548 kohen > , the son <1121 ben > of Buzi <0941 Buwziy

by the river <5104 nahar > Chebar <3529 K@bar > ; and the hand

<3027 yad > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > was there <8033 sham >

upon him .

: 4 . And I looked <7200 ra>ah > , and , behold <2009 hinneh

tsaphown > , a great <1419 gadowl > cloud <6051 <anan > , and

a fire <0784 >esh > infolding <3947 laqach > itself , and a

brightness <5051 nogahh > [ was ] about <5439 cabiyb > it ,

and out of the midst <8432 tavek > thereof as the colour <5869

<ayin > of amber <2830 chashmal > , out of the midst <8432

tavek > of the fire <0784 >esh > .

: 5 Also out of the midst <8432 tavek > thereof [ came ] the

likeness <1823 d@muwth > of four <0702 >arba< > living <2416

chay > creatures <2416 chay > . And this <2088 zeh > [ was ]

their appearance <4758 mar>eh > ; they had the likeness <1823

d@muwth > of a man <0120 >adam > .

: 6 And every one <0259 >echad > had four <0702 >arba< > faces

<6440 paniym > , and every one <0259 >echad > had four <0702

>arba< > wings <3671 kanaph > .

: 7 And their feet <7272 regel > [ were ] straight <3474

yashar > feet <7272 regel > ; and the sole <3709 kaph > of

their feet <7272 regel > [ was ] like the sole <3709 kaph > of

a calf s <5695 <egel > foot <7272 regel > : and they sparkled

<5340 natsats > like the colour <5869 <ayin > of burnished <7044

qalal > brass <5178 n@chosheth > .

: 8 And [ they had ] the hands <3027 yad > of a man <0120

>adam > under <8478 tachath > their wings <3671 kanaph > on

<5921 <al > their four <0702 >arba< > sides <7253 reba< > ; and

they four <0702 >arba< > had their faces <6440 paniym > and

their wings <3671 kanaph > .

: 9 Their wings <3671 kanaph > [ were ] joined <2266 chabar >

one <0802 >ishshah > to another <0269 >achowth > ; they turned

<5437 cabab > not when they went <3212 yalak > ; they went

<3212 yalak > every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > straight

<5676 <eber > forward <6440 paniym > .

: 10 As for the likeness <1823 d@muwth > of their faces <6440

paniym > , they four <0702 >arba< > had the face <6440 paniym >

of a man <0120 >adam > , and the face <6440 paniym > of a lion

<0738 >ariy > , on <0413 >el > the right <3225 yamiyn > side

<3225 yamiyn > : and they four <0702 >arba< > had the face <6440

paniym > of an ox <7794 showr > on the left <8040 s@mo>wl > side

<8040 s@mo>wl > ; they four <0702 >arba< > also had the face

<6440 paniym > of an eagle <5404 nesher > .

: 11 Thus [ were ] their faces <6440 paniym > : and their

wings <3671 kanaph > [ were ] stretched <6504 parad > upward

<4605 ma<al > ; two <8147 sh@nayim > [ wings ] of every <0376

>iysh > one <0376 >iysh > [ were ] joined <2266 chabar > one

<0376 >iysh > to another <0376 >iysh > , and two <8147 sh@nayim

> covered <3680 kacah > their bodies <1472 g@viyah > .

: 12 And they went <3212 yalak > every <0376 >iysh > one <0376

>iysh > straight <5676 <eber > forward <6440 paniym > : whither

the spirit <7307 ruwach > was to go <3212 yalak > , they went

<3212 yalak > ; [ and ] they turned <5437 cabab > not when

they went <3212 yalak > .

: 13 As for the likeness <1823 d@muwth > of the living <2416

chay > creatures <2416 chay > , their appearance <4758 mar>eh >

[ was ] like burning <1197 ba<ar > coals <1513 gechel > of

fire <0784 >esh > , [ and ] like the appearance <4758 mar>eh

> of lamps <3940 lappiyd > : it went <1980 halak > up and down

among <0996 beyn > the living <2416 chay > creatures <2416 chay

out of the fire <0784 >esh > went <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318

yatsa> > lightning <1300 baraq > .

: 14 And the living <2416 chay > creatures <2416 chay > ran

<7519 ratsa> > and returned <7725 shuwb > as the appearance

<4758 mar>eh > of a flash <0965 bazaq > of lightning <0965 bazaq

: 15 . Now as I beheld <7200 ra>ah > the living <2416 chay >

creatures <2416 chay > , behold <2009 hinneh > one <0259 >echad

> wheel <0212 >owphan > upon the earth <0776 >erets > by the

living <2416 chay > creatures <2416 chay > , with his four

<0702 >arba< > faces <6440 paniym > .

: 16 The appearance <4758 mar>eh > of the wheels <0212 >owphan

> and their work <4639 ma<aseh > [ was ] like unto the colour

<5869 <ayin > of a beryl <8658 tarshiysh > : and they four <0702

>arba< > had one <0259 >echad > likeness <1823 d@muwth > : and

their appearance <4758 mar>eh > and their work <4639 ma<aseh >

[ was ] as it were a wheel <0212 >owphan > in the middle <8432

tavek > of a wheel <0212 >owphan > .

: 17 When they went <3212 yalak > , they went <3212 yalak >

upon their four <0702 >arba< > sides <7253 reba< > : [ and ]

they turned <5437 cabab > not when they went <3212 yalak > .

: 18 As for their rings <1354 gab > , they were so high <1362

gabahh > that they were dreadful <3374 yir>ah > ; and their

rings <1354 gab > [ were ] full <4392 male> > of eyes <5869

<ayin > round <5439 cabiyb > about them four <0702 >arba< > .

: 19 And when the living <2416 chay > creatures <2416 chay >

went <3212 yalak > , the wheels <0212 >owphan > went <3212

yalak > by them : and when the living <2416 chay > creatures

<2416 chay > were lifted <5375 nasa> > up from the earth <0776

>erets > , the wheels <0212 >owphan > were lifted <5375 nasa> >

up .

: 20 Whithersoever the spirit <7307 ruwach > was to go <3212

yalak > , they went <3212 yalak > , thither <8033 sham > [

was their ] spirit <7307 ruwach > to go <3212 yalak > ; and

the wheels <0212 >owphan > were lifted <5375 nasa> > up over

<5980 <ummah > against <5980 <ummah > them : for the spirit

<7307 ruwach > of the living <2416 chay > creature <2416 chay >

[ was ] in the wheels <0212 >owphan > .

: 21 When those went <3212 yalak > , [ these ] went <3212

yalak > ; and when those stood <5975 <amad > , [ these ]

stood <5975 <amad > ; and when those were lifted <5375 nasa> >

up from the earth <0776 >erets > , the wheels <0212 >owphan >

were lifted <5375 nasa> > up over <5980 <ummah > against <5980

<ummah > them : for the spirit <7307 ruwach > of the living

<2416 chay > creature <2416 chay > [ was ] in the wheels <0212

>owphan > .

: 22 And the likeness <1823 d@muwth > of the firmament <7549

raqiya< > upon the heads <7218 ro>sh > of the living <2416 chay

> creature <2416 chay > [ was ] as the colour <5869 <ayin > of

the terrible <3372 yare> > crystal <7140 qerach > , stretched

<5186 natah > forth over <5921 <al > their heads <7218 ro>sh >

above <4605 ma<al > .

: 23 And under <8478 tachath > the firmament <7549 raqiya< > [

were ] their wings <3671 kanaph > straight <3474 yashar > ,

the one <0802 >ishshah > toward <0413 >el > the other <0269

>achowth > : every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > had two <8147

sh@nayim > , which covered <3680 kacah > on this <2007 hennah >

side , and every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > had two <8147

sh@nayim > , which covered <3680 kacah > on that side , their

bodies <1472 g@viyah > .

: 24 And when they went <3212 yalak > , I heard <8085 shama< >

the noise <6963 qowl > of their wings <3671 kanaph > , like the

noise <6963 qowl > of great <7227 rab > waters <4325 mayim > ,

as the voice <6963 qowl > of the Almighty <7706 Shadday > , the

voice <6963 qowl > of speech <1999 hamullah > , as the noise

<6963 qowl > of an host <4264 machaneh > : when they stood <5975

<amad > , they let <7503 raphah > down <7503 raphah > their

wings <3671 kanaph > .

: 25 And there was a voice <6963 qowl > from the firmament

<7549 raqiya< > that [ was ] over <5921 <al > their heads

<7218 ro>sh > , when they stood <5975 <amad > , [ and ] had

let <7503 raphah > down <7503 raphah > their wings <3671 kanaph

: 26 . And above <4605 ma<al > the firmament <7549 raqiya< >

that [ was ] over <5921 <al > their heads <7218 ro>sh > [ was

] the likeness <1823 d@muwth > of a throne <3678 kicce> > , as

the appearance <4758 mar>eh > of a sapphire <5601 cappiyr >

stone <68> : and upon the likeness <1823 d@muwth > of the throne

<3678 kicce> > [ was ] the likeness <1823 d@muwth > as the

appearance <4758 mar>eh > of a man <0120 >adam > above <4605

ma<al > upon it .

: 27 And I saw <7200 ra>ah > as the colour <5869 <ayin > of

amber <2830 chashmal > , as the appearance <4758 mar>eh > of

fire <0784 >esh > round <5439 cabiyb > about within <1004 bayith

mothen > even upward <4605 ma<al > , and from the appearance

<4758 mar>eh > of his loins <4975 mothen > even downward <4295

mattah > , I saw <7200 ra>ah > as it were the appearance <4758

mar>eh > of fire <0784 >esh > , and it had brightness <5051

nogahh > round <5439 cabiyb > about .

: 28 As the appearance <4758 mar>eh > of the bow <7198 qesheth

rain <1653 geshem > , so <3651 ken > [ was ] the appearance

<4758 mar>eh > of the brightness <5051 nogahh > round <5439

cabiyb > about . This <1931 huw> > [ was ] the appearance

<4758 mar>eh > of the likeness <1823 d@muwth > of the glory

<3519 kabowd > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > . And when I saw

<7200 ra>ah > [ it ] , I fell <5307 naphal > upon my face

<6440 paniym > , and I heard <8085 shama< > a voice <6963 qowl

: Ezekiel 2

: 1 . And he said <0559 >amar > unto me , Son <1121 ben > of

man <0120 >adam > , stand <5975 <amad > upon thy feet <7272

regel > , and I will speak <1696 dabar > unto thee .

: 2 And the spirit <7307 ruwach > entered <0935 bow> > into me

when <0834 >aher > he spake <1696 dabar > unto me , and set

<5975 <amad > me upon my feet <7272 regel > , that I heard

<8085 shama< > him that spake <1696 dabar > unto me .

: 3 And he said <0559 >amar > unto me , Son <1121 ben > of man

<0120 >adam > , I send <7971 shalach > thee to the children

<1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > , to a rebellious <4775

marad > nation <1471 gowy > that hath rebelled <4775 marad >

against me : they and their fathers <1> have transgressed <6586

pasha< > against me , [ even ] unto this <2088 zeh > very

<6106 <etsem > day <3117 yowm > .

: 4 For [ they are ] impudent children <1121 ben > and

stiffhearted . I do send <7971 shalach > thee unto them ; and

thou shalt say <0559 >amar > unto them , Thus <3541 koh > saith

<0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > .

: 5 And they , whether <0518 >im > they will hear <8085 shama<

> , or whether <0518 >im > they will forbear <2308 chadal > ,

( for they [ are ] a rebellious <4805 m@riy > house <1004

bayith > , ) yet shall know <3045 yada< > that there hath been

<1961 hayah > a prophet <5030 nabiy> > among <8432 tavek > them .

: 6 . And thou , son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > , be

not afraid <3372 yare> > of them , neither <0408 >al > be

afraid <3372 yare> > of their words <1697 dabar > , though

<3588 kiy > briers <5621 carab > and thorns <5544 cillown > [

be ] with thee , and thou dost dwell <3427 yashab > among

<0413 >el > scorpions <6137 <aqrab > : be not afraid <3372 yare>

> of their words <1697 dabar > , nor <0408 >al > be dismayed

<2865 chathath > at their looks <6400 pelach > , though <3588

kiy > they [ be ] a rebellious <4805 m@riy > house .

: 7 And thou shalt speak <1696 dabar > my words <1697 dabar >

unto them , whether <0518 >im > they will hear <8085 shama< > ,

or whether <0518 >im > they will forbear <2308 chadal > : for

they [ are ] most rebellious <4805 m@riy > .

: 8 But thou , son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > , hear

<8085 shama< > what I say <1696 dabar > unto thee ; Be not thou

rebellious <4805 m@riy > like that rebellious <4805 m@riy >

house <1004 bayith > : open <6475 patsah > thy mouth <6310 peh >

, and eat <0398 >akal > that I give <5414 nathan > thee .

: 9 And when I looked <7200 ra>ah > , behold <2009 hinneh > ,

an hand <3027 yad > [ was ] sent <7971 shalach > unto me ;

and , lo <2009 hinneh > , a roll <4040 m@gillah > of a book

<5612 cepher > [ was ] therein ;

: 10 And he spread <6566 paras > it before <6440 paniym > me ;

and it [ was ] written <3789 kathab > within <6440 paniym >

and without <0268 >achowr > : and [ there was ] written <3789

kathab > therein <0413 >el > lamentations <7015 qiynah > , and

mourning <1899 hegeh > , and woe <1958 hiy > .

: Ezekiel 3

: 1 . Moreover he said <0559 >amar > unto me , Son <1121 ben

> of man <0120 >adam > , eat <0398 >akal > that thou findest

<4672 matsa> > ; eat <0398 >akal > this <2063 zo>th > roll

<4040 m@gillah > , and go <3212 yalak > speak <1696 dabar >

unto the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .

: 2 So I opened <6605 pathach > my mouth <6310 peh > , and he

caused me to eat <0398 >akal > that roll <4040 m@gillah > .

: 3 And he said <0559 >amar > unto me , Son <1121 ben > of man

<0120 >adam > , cause thy belly <0990 beten > to eat <0398

>akal > , and fill <4390 male> > thy bowels <4578 me<ah > with

this <2063 zo>th > roll <4040 m@gillah > that I give <5414

nathan > thee . Then did I eat <0398 >akal > [ it ] ; and it

was in my mouth <6310 peh > as honey <1706 d@bash > for

sweetness <4966 mathowq > .

: 4 And he said <0559 >amar > unto me , Son <1121 ben > of man

<0120 >adam > , go <3212 yalak > , get <0935 bow> > thee unto

the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > , and speak

<1696 dabar > with my words <1697 dabar > unto them .

: 5 For thou [ art ] not sent <7971 shalach > to a people

<5971 <am > of a strange <6012 <ameq > speech <8193 saphah > and

of an hard <3515 kabed > language <3956 lashown > , [ but ]

to the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ;

: 6 Not to many <7227 rab > people <5971 <am > of a strange

<6012 <ameq > speech <8193 saphah > and of an hard <3515 kabed >

language <3956 lashown > , whose <0834 >aher > words <1697

dabar > thou canst not understand <8085 shama< > . Surely ,

had I sent <7971 shalach > thee to them , they would have

hearkened <8085 shama< > unto thee .

: 7 But the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >

will <14> not hearken <8085 shama< > unto thee ; for they will

<14> not hearken <8085 shama< > unto me : for all <3605 kol >

the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > [ are ]

impudent and hardhearted .

: 8 Behold <2009 hinneh > , I have made <5414 nathan > thy

face <6440 paniym > strong <2389 chazaq > against <5980 <ummah >

their faces <6440 paniym > , and thy forehead <4696 metsach >

strong <2389 chazaq > against <5980 <ummah > their foreheads

<4696 metsach > .

: 9 As an adamant <8068 shamiyr > harder <2389 chazaq > than

flint <6864 tsor > have I made <5414 nathan > thy forehead <4696

metsach > : fear <3372 yare> > them not , neither <3808 lo> >

be dismayed <2865 chathath > at their looks <6400 pelach > ,

though they [ be ] a rebellious <4805 m@riy > house <1004

bayith > .

: 10 Moreover he said <0559 >amar > unto me , Son <1121 ben >

of man <0120 >adam > , all <3605 kol > my words <1697 dabar >

that I shall speak <1696 dabar > unto thee receive <3947 laqach

> in thine heart <3824 lebab > , and hear <8085 shama< > with

thine ears <0241 >ozen > .

: 11 And go <3212 yalak > , get <0935 bow> > thee to them of

the captivity <1473 gowlah > , unto the children <1121 ben > of

thy people <5971 <am > , and speak <1696 dabar > unto them ,

and tell <0559 >amar > them , Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559

>amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ; whether

<0518 >im > they will hear <8085 shama< > , or whether <0518

>im > they will forbear <2308 chadal > .

: 12 Then the spirit <7307 ruwach > took <5375 nasa> > me up ,

and I heard <8085 shama< > behind <0310 >achar > me a voice

<6963 qowl > of a great <1419 gadowl > rushing <7494 ra<ash > ,

[ saying ] , Blessed <1288 barak > [ be ] the glory <3519

kabowd > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > from his place <4725 maqowm

: 13 [ I heard ] also the noise <6963 qowl > of the wings

<3671 kanaph > of the living <2416 chay > creatures <2416 chay >

that touched <5401 nashaq > one <0802 >ishshah > another <0269

>achowth > , and the noise <6963 qowl > of the wheels <0212

>owphan > over <5980 <ummah > against <5980 <ummah > them , and

a noise <6963 qowl > of a great <1419 gadowl > rushing <7494

ra<ash > .

: 14 So the spirit <7307 ruwach > lifted <5375 nasa> > me up ,

and took <3947 laqach > me away , and I went <3212 yalak > in

bitterness <4751 mar > , in the heat <2534 chemah > of my

spirit <7307 ruwach > ; but the hand <3027 yad > of the LORD

<3068 Y@hovah > was strong <2388 chazaq > upon me .

: 15 Then I came <0935 bow> > to them of the captivity <1473

gowlah > at Telabib <8512 Tel >Abiyb > , that dwelt <3427

yashab > by the river <5104 nahar > of Chebar <3529 K@bar > ,

and I sat <3427 yashab > where <8033 sham > they sat <3427

yashab > , and remained <3427 yashab > there <8033 sham >

astonished <8074 shamem > among <8432 tavek > them seven <7651

sheba< > days <3117 yowm > .

: 16 . And it came <1961 hayah > to pass at the end <7097

qatseh > of seven <7651 sheba< > days <3117 yowm > , that the

word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah

give them warning <2094 zahar > from me .

Thou shalt surely die <4191 muwth > ; and thou givest him not

warning <2094 zahar > , nor <3808 lo> > speakest <1696 dabar >

to warn <2094 zahar > the wicked <7563 rasha< > from his wicked

Is it a light <7043 qalal > thing to the house <1004 bayith > of

the wheels <0212 >owphan > went <3212 yalak > by them : and

when the cherubims <3742 k@ruwb > lifted <5375 nasa> > up their

prepare <6213 <asah > thee stuff <3627 k@liy > for removing

Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .

: 7 And I did <6213 <asah > so <3651 ken > as I was commanded

<6680 tsavah > : I brought <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> >

: 8 And in the morning <1242 boqer > came <1961 hayah > the

word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > unto me , saying

<0559 >amar > ,

This <2088 zeh > burden <4853 massa> > [ concerneth ] the

be done <6213 <asah > unto them : they shall remove <5493 cuwr >

[ and ] go <3212 yalak > into captivity <7628 sh@biy > .

: 12 And the prince <5387 nasiy> > that [ is ] among <8432

with [ his ] eyes <5869 <ayin > .

: 13 My net <7568 resheth > also will I spread <6566 paras >

upon him , and he shall be taken <8610 taphas > in my snare

<4686 matsuwd > : and I will bring <0935 bow> > him to Babylon

<0894 Babel > [ to ] the land <0776 >erets > of the Chaldeans

<3779 Kasday > ; yet shall he not see <7200 ra>ah > it ,

though he shall die <4191 muwth > there <8033 sham > .

: 14 And I will scatter <2219 zarah > toward every <3605 kol >

wind <7307 ruwach > all <3605 kol > that [ are ] about <5439

cabiyb > him to help <5828 <ezer > him , and all <3605 kol >

his bands <0102 >aggaph > ; and I will draw <7324 ruwq > out

the sword <2719 chereb > after <0310 >achar > them .

<3068 Y@hovah > , when I shall scatter <6327 puwts > them among

the nations <1471 gowy > , and disperse <2219 zarah > them in

the countries <0776 >erets > .

: 16 But I will leave <3498 yathar > a few <4557 micpar > men

<0582 >enowsh > of them from the sword <2719 chereb > , from

the famine <7458 ra<ab > , and from the pestilence <1698 deber

they have seduced <2937 ta<ah > my people <5971 <am > , saying

ra>ah > uponthee , behold <2009 hinneh > , thy time <6256 <eth

spread <6566 paras > my skirt <3671 kanaph > over <5921 <al >

: 9 Then washed <7364 rachats > I thee with water <4325 mayim >

; yea , I throughly washed <7857 shataph > away thy blood

<1818 dam > from thee , and I anointed <5480 cuwk > thee with

oil <8081 shemen > .

: 10 I clothed <3847 labash > thee also with broidered <7553

riqmah > work <7553 riqmah > , and shod <5274 na<al > thee with

badgers <8476 tachash > skin , and I girded <2280 chabash >

thee about with fine linen <8336 shesh > , and I covered <3680

[ was of ] fine linen <8336 shesh > , and silk <4897 meshiy > ,

<6743 tsalach > into a kingdom <4410 m@luwkah > .

: 14 And thy renown <8034 shem > went <3318 yatsa> > forth

<3318 yatsa> > among the heathen <1471 gowy > for thy beauty

<3308 yophiy > : for it [ was ] perfect <3632 kaliyl > through

<3308 yophiy > , and playedst the harlot <2181 zanah > because

playedst the harlot <2181 zanah > thereupon : [ the like things

be [ so ] .

: 17 Thou hast also taken <3947 laqach > thy fair <8597

my silver <3701 keceph > , which <0834 >aher > I had given

images <6754 tselem > of men <2145 zakar > , and didst commit

<2181 zanah > whoredom <2181 zanah > with them ,

: 18 And tookest <3947 laqach > thy broidered <7553 riqmah >

the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > .

: 21 That thou hast slain <7819 shachat > my children <1121 ben

: 22 And in all <3605 kol > thine abominations <8441 tow<ebah >

: 28 Thou hast played the whore <2181 zanah > also with the

Assyrians <0804 >Ashshuwr > , because <1115 biltiy > thou wast

unsatiable ; yea , thou hast played the harlot <2181 zanah >

with them , and yet couldest not be satisfied <7646 saba< > .

therefore thou art contrary <2016 hephek > .

they have made her many <7235 rabah > widows <0490 >almanah > in

: 26 Her priests <3548 kohen > have violated <2554 chamac > my

law <8451 towrah > , and have profaned <2490 chalal > mine holy

<6944 qodesh > things : they have put no <3808 lo> > difference

profaned <2490 chalal > among <8432 tavek > them .

: 27 Her princes <8269 sar > in the midst <7130 qereb > thereof

[ are ] like wolves <2061 z@>eb > ravening <2963 taraph > the

<1214 batsa< > dishonest <1215 betsa< > gain <1214 batsa< > .

: 28 And her prophets <5030 nabiy> > have daubed <2902 tuwach >

, when the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath not spoken <1696 dabar > .

: 29 The people <5971 <am > of the land <0776 >erets > have

used oppression <6233 <osheq > , and exercised robbery <1498

stranger <1616 ger > wrongfully .

: 30 And I sought <1245 baqash > for a man <0376 >iysh > among

not destroy <7843 shachath > it : but I found <4672 matsa> >

none <3808 lo> > .

: 31 Therefore have I poured <8210 shaphak > out mine

indignation <2195 za<am > upon them ; I have consumed <3615

<0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > .

: Ezekiel 23

: 1 . The word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came

<1961 hayah > again unto me , saying <0559 >amar > ,

: 2 Son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > , there were two

<8147 sh@nayim > women <0802 >ishshah > , the daughters <1121

ben > of one <0259 >echad > mother <0517 >em > :

: 3 And they committed <2181 zanah > whoredoms in Egypt <4714

Mitsrayim > ; they committed <2181 zanah > whoredoms in their

youth <5271 na<uwr > : there <8033 sham > were their breasts

<7699 shad > pressed <4600 ma<ak > , and there <8033 sham >

they bruised <6213 <asah > the teats <1717 dad > of their

virginity <1331 b@thuwliym > .

: 4 And the names <8034 shem > of them [ were ] Aholah <0170

>Oholah > the elder <1419 gadowl > , and Aholibah <0172

>Oholiybah > her sister <0269 >achowth > : and they were mine ,

and they bare <3205 yalad > sons <1121 ben > and daughters <1121

<8111 Shom@rown > [ is ] Aholah <0170 >Oholah > , and

Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > Aholibah <0172 >Oholiybah > .

: 5 And Aholah <0170 >Oholah > played the harlot <2181 zanah >

when she was mine ; and she doted <5689 <agab > on <0413 >el >

her lovers <0157 >ahab > , on <0413 >el > the Assyrians <0804

all <3605 kol > of them desirable <2531 chemed > young <0970

bachuwr > men , horsemen <6571 parash > riding <7392 rakab >

upon horses <5483 cuwc > .

: 7 Thus she committed <5414 nathan > her whoredoms <8457

taznuwth > with them , with all them [ that were ] the chosen

<4005 mibchar > men <1121 ben > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > ,

and with all <3605 kol > on whom <0834 >aher > she doted <5689

<agab > : with all <3605 kol > their idols <1544 gilluwl > she

defiled <2930 tame> > herself .

: 8 Neither <3808 lo> > left <5800 <azab > she her whoredoms

<8457 taznuwth > [ brought ] from Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > :

for in her youth <5271 na<uwr > they lay <7901 shakab > with her

, and they bruised <6213 <asah > the breasts <1717 dad > of her

virginity <1331 b@thuwliym > , and poured <8210 shaphak > their

whoredom <8457 taznuwth > upon her .

: 9 Wherefore <3651 ken > I have delivered <5414 nathan > her

into the hand <3027 yad > of her lovers <0157 >ahab > , into

the hand <3027 yad > of the Assyrians <0804 >Ashshuwr > , upon

whom <0834 >aher > she doted <5689 <agab > .

: 10 These <1992 hem > discovered <1540 galah > her nakedness

<6172 <ervah > : they took <3947 laqach > her sons <1121 ben >

and her daughters <1121 ben > , and slew her with the sword

<2719 chereb > : and she became <1961 hayah > famous <8034 shem

<asah > judgment <8196 sh@phowt > upon her .

: 11 . And when <3588 kiy > her sister <0269 >achowth >

Aholibah <0172 >Oholiybah > saw <7200 ra>ah > [ this ] , she

was more corrupt <7843 shachath > in her inordinate <5691

<agabah > love <5691 <agabah > than she , and in her whoredoms

<8457 taznuwth > more than her sister <0269 >achowth > in [ her

: 12 She doted <5689 <agab > upon the Assyrians <0804 >Ashshuwr

upon horses <5483 cuwc > , all <3605 kol > of them desirable

<2531 chemed > young <0970 bachuwr > men .

: 13 Then I saw <7200 ra>ah > that she was defiled <2930 tame>

: 14 And [ that ] she increased <3254 yacaph > her whoredoms

<8457 taznuwth > : for when she saw <7200 ra>ah > men <0582

>enowsh > pourtrayed <2707 chaqah > upon the wall <7023 qiyr > ,

the images <6754 tselem > of the Chaldeans <3779 Kasday >

pourtrayed <2710 chaqaq > with vermilion <8350 shashar > ,

: 15 Girded <2289 chagowr > with girdles <0232 >ezowr > upon

their loins <4975 mothen > , exceeding <5628 carach > in dyed

look <4758 mar>eh > to , after the manner <1823 d@muwth > of

the Babylonians of Chaldea <3778 Kasdiy > , the land <0776

>erets > of their nativity <4138 mowledeth > :

: 16 And as soon <4758 mar>eh > as she saw them with her eyes

<5869 <ayin > , she doted <5689 <agab > upon them , and sent

<7971 shalach > messengers <4397 mal>ak > unto them into Chaldea

<3778 Kasdiy > .

: 17 And the Babylonians came <0935 bow> > to her into the bed

<4904 mishkab > of love <1730 dowd > , and they defiled <2930

polluted <2930 tame> > with them , and her mind <5315 nephesh >

was alienated <3363 yaqa< > from them .

: 18 So she discovered <1540 galah > her whoredoms <8457

taznuwth > , and discovered <1540 galah > her nakedness <6172

<ervah > : then my mind <5315 nephesh > was alienated <3363

yaqa< > from her , like as my mind <5315 nephesh > was

alienated <5361 naqa< > from her sister <0269 >achowth > .

: 19 Yet she multiplied <7235 rabah > her whoredoms <8457

taznuwth > , in calling <2142 zakar > to remembrance <2142

zakar > the days <3117 yowm > of her youth <5271 na<uwr > ,

wherein <0834 >aher > she had played the harlot <2181 zanah > in

the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > .

: 20 For she doted <5689 <agab > upon their paramours <6370

<1320 basar > of asses <2543 chamowr > , and whose issue <2231

: 21 Thus thou calledst <6485 paqad > to remembrance <6485

in bruising <6213 <asah > thy teats <1717 dad > by the

Egyptians <4714 Mitsrayim > for the paps <7699 shad > of thy

youth <5271 na<uwr > .

thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay >

GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ; Behold <2005 hen > , I will raise <5782

: 24 And they shall come <0935 bow> > against <5921 <al > thee

with chariots <2021 hotsen > , wagons <7393 rekeb > , and

wheels <1534 galgal > , and with an assembly <6951 qahal > of

people <5971 <am > , [ which ] shall set <7760 suwm > against

<5921 <al > thee buckler <6793 tsinnah > and shield <4043 magen

according to their judgments <4941 mishpat > .

: 25 And I will set <5414 nathan > my jealousy <7068 qin>ah >

against thee , and they shall deal <6213 <asah > furiously

<2534 chemah > with thee : they shall take <5493 cuwr > away

<5493 cuwr > thy nose <0639 >aph > and thine ears <0241 >ozen > ;

and thy remnant <0319 >achariyth > shall fall <5307 naphal >

by the sword <2719 chereb > : they shall take <3947 laqach > thy

sons <1121 ben > and thy daughters <1121 ben > ; and thy

residue <0319 >achariyth > shall be devoured <0398 >akal > by

the fire <0784 >esh > .

: 26 They shall also strip <6584 pashat > thee out of thy

clothes <0899 beged > , and take <3947 laqach > away thy fair

<8597 tiph>arah > jewels <3627 k@liy > .

: 27 Thus will I make thy lewdness <2154 zimmah > to cease

<7673 shabath > from thee , and thy whoredom <2184 z@nuwth > [

[ it ] , saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD

<3069 Y@hovih > .

: 35 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar >

the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ; Because <3282

ya<an > thou hast forgotten <7911 shakach > me , and cast <7998

therefore bear <5375 nasa> > thou also <1571 gam > thy lewdness

<2154 zimmah > and thy whoredoms <8457 taznuwth > .

: 36 . The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > moreover

unto me ; Son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > , wilt thou

judge <8199 shaphat > Aholah <0170 >Oholah > and Aholibah <0172

>Oholiybah > ? yea , declare <5046 nagad > unto them their

abominations <8441 tow<ebah > ;

: 37 That they have committed <5003 na>aph > adultery <5003

na>aph > , and blood <1818 dam > [ is ] in their hands <3027

yad > , and with their idols <1544 gilluwl > have they

committed <5003 na>aph > adultery <5003 na>aph > , and have

also <1571 gam > caused their sons <1121 ben > , whom <0834

>aher > they bare <3205 yalad > unto me , to pass <5674 <abar >

for them through [ the fire ] , to devour <0402 >oklah > [

them ] .

: 38 Moreover <5750 <owd > this <2063 zo>th > they have done

<6213 <asah > unto me : they have defiled <2930 tame> > my

sanctuary <4720 miqdash > in the same <1931 huw> > day <3117

yowm > , and have profaned <2490 chalal > my sabbaths <7676

shabbath > .

: 39 For when they had slain <7819 shachat > their children

<1121 ben > to their idols <1544 gilluwl > , then they came

<0935 bow> > the same <1931 huw> > day <3117 yowm > into <0413

and , lo <2009 hinneh > , thus <3541 koh > have they done

<6213 <asah > in the midst <8432 tavek > of mine house <1004

bayith > .

: 40 And furthermore <0637 >aph > , that ye have sent <7971

shalach > for men <0582 >enowsh > to come <0935 bow> > from far

<4801 merchaq > , unto whom a messenger <4397 mal>ak > [ was ]

sent <7971 shalach > ; and , lo <2009 hinneh > , they came

<0935 bow> > : for whom <0834 >aher > thou didst wash <7364

rachats > thyself , paintedst <3583 kachal > thy eyes <5869

<ayin > , and deckedst <5710 <adah > thyself with ornaments

<5716 <adiy > ,

: 41 And satest <3427 yashab > upon a stately <3520 k@buwddah >

bed <4296 mittah > , and a table <7979 shulchan > prepared

<6186 <arak > before <6440 paniym > it , whereupon <5921 <al >

thou hast set <7760 suwm > mine incense <7004 q@toreth > and

mine oil <8081 shemen > .

: 42 And a voice <6963 qowl > of a multitude <1995 hamown >

being at ease <7961 shalev > [ was ] with her : and with the

men <0582 >enowsh > of the common <7230 rob > sort [ were ]

brought <0935 bow> > Sabeans <5433 caba> > from the wilderness

: 43 Then said <0559 >amar > I unto [ her that was ] old

<1087 baleh > in adulteries <5004 ni>uph > , Will they now

<6258 <attah > commit <2181 zanah > whoredoms <8457 taznuwth >

with her , and she [ with them ] ?

: 44 Yet they went <0935 bow> > in unto her , as they go <0935

<2181 zanah > : so <3651 ken > went <0935 bow> > they in unto

Aholah <0170 >Oholah > and unto Aholibah <0172 >Oholiybah > ,

the lewd <2154 zimmah > women <0802 >ishshah > .

: 45 And the righteous <6662 tsaddiyq > men <0582 >enowsh > ,

they shall judge <8199 shaphat > them after the manner <4941

mishpat > of adulteresses <5003 na>aph > , and after the manner

<4941 mishpat > of women that shed <8210 shaphak > blood <1818

dam > ; because <3588 kiy > they [ are ] adulteresses <5003

na>aph > , and blood <1818 dam > [ is ] in their hands <3027

yad > .

: 46 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136

>Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ; I will bring <5927 <alah > up a

company <6951 qahal > upon them , and will give <5414 nathan >

them to be removed <2189 za<avah > and spoiled <0957 baz > .

: 47 And the company <6951 qahal > shall stone <7275 ragam >

them with stones <68> , and dispatch <1254 bara> > them with

their swords <2719 chereb > ; they shall slay <4191 muwth >

their sons <1121 ben > and their daughters <1121 ben > , and

burn <8313 saraph > up their houses <1004 bayith > with fire

<0784 >esh > .

: 48 Thus will I cause lewdness <2154 zimmah > to cease <7673

shabath > out of the land <0776 >erets > , that all <3605 kol >

women <0802 >ishshah > may be taught <3256 yacar > not to do

<6213 <asah > after <0310 >achar > your lewdness <2154 zimmah > .

: 49 And they shall recompense <5414 nathan > your lewdness

<2154 zimmah > upon you , and ye shall bear <5375 nasa> > the

sins <2399 chet> > of your idols <1544 gilluwl > : and ye shall

know <3045 yada< > that I [ am ] the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD

: 7 For her blood <1818 dam > is in the midst <8432 tavek > of

her ; she set <7760 suwm > it upon the top <6706 ts@chiyach >

of a rock <5553 cela< > ; she poured <8210 shaphak > it not

yet neither <3808 lo> > shalt thou mourn <5594 caphad > nor

: 17 Forbear <1826 damam > to cry <0602 >anaq > , make <6213

<asah > no <3808 lo> > mourning <60> for the dead <4191 muwth > ,

<3947 laqach > from them their strength <4581 ma<owz > , the

Ammonites <5984 <Ammowniy > a couchingplace <4769 marbets > for

flocks <6629 tso>n > : and ye shall know <3045 yada< > that I [

clapped <4222 macha> > [ thine ] hands <3027 yad > , and

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > unto me , saying

<0559 >amar > ,

thy walls <2346 chowmah > shall shake <7493 ra<ash > at the

noise <6963 qowl > of the horsemen <6571 parash > , and of the

wheels <1534 galgal > , and of the chariots <7393 rekeb > ,

when he shall enter <0935 bow> > into thy gates <8179 sha<ar > ,

as men enter <0935 bow> > into a city <5892 <iyr > wherein is

made a breach <1234 baqa< > .

and thy timber <6086 <ets > and thy dust <6083 <aphar > in the
