And she said, Wilt thou give [me] a pledge, until thou send it? ¹⁸ And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she said, Thy signet, and thy lace, and thy staff which is in thy hand. And he gave [it] her, and went in to her; and she conceived by him. ¹⁹ And she arose and went away; and she laid by her veil from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood. ²⁰ And Judah sent the kid of the goats by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive the pledge from the woman`s hand; but he found her not. ²¹ And he asked the men of her place, saying, Where is the prostitute that was at Enaim, by the way-side? And they said, There was no prostitute here. ²² And he returned to Judah, and said, I have not found her; and also the men of the place said, No prostitute has been here. ²³ Then Judah said, Let her take [it] for herself, lest we be put to shame. Behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her. ²⁴ And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter-in-law has committed fornication, and behold, she is also with child by fornication. And Judah said, Bring her forth, that she may be burned. ²⁵ When she was brought forth, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, By the man to whom these [belong] am I with child; and she said, Acknowledge, I pray thee, whose are this signet, and this lace, and this staff. ²⁶ And Judah acknowledged [them], and said, She is more righteous than I, because I have not given her to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more. ²⁷ And it came to pass at the time of her delivery, that behold, twins were in her womb. ²⁸ And it came to pass when she brought forth, that one stretched out [his] hand, and the midwife took it and bound round his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first. ²⁹ And it came to pass as he drew back his hand, that behold, his brother came out; and she said, How hast thou broken forth! on thee be the breach! And they called his name Pherez. ³⁰ And afterwards came out his brother, round whose hand was the scarlet thread; and they called his name Zerah.

² Assemble yourselves, and hear, ye sons of Jacob, And listen to Israel your father. ³ Reuben, thou art my firstborn, My might, and the firstfruits of my vigour: Excellency of dignity, and excellency of strength. ⁴ Impetuous as the waters, thou shalt have no pre-eminence; Because thou wentest up to thy father`s couch: Then defiledst thou [it]: he went up to my bed. <sup>5</sup> Simeon and Levi are brethren: Instruments of violence their swords. <sup>6</sup> My soul, come not into their council; Mine honour, be not united with their assembly; For in their anger they slew men, And in their wantonness houghed oxen. <sup>7</sup> Cursed be their anger, for it [was] violent; And their rage, for it [was] cruel! I will divide them in Jacob, And scatter them in Israel. <sup>8</sup> Judah -- [as to] thee, thy brethren will praise thee; Thy hand will be upon the neck of thine enemies; Thy father`s children will bow down to thee. ⁹ Judah is a young lion; From the prey, my son, thou art gone up. He stoopeth, he layeth himself down as a lion, And as a lioness: who will rouse him up? ¹⁰ The scepter will not depart from Judah, Nor the lawgiver from between his feet, Until Shiloh come, And to him will be the obedience of peoples. ¹¹ He bindeth his foal to the vine, And his ass`s colt to the choice vine; He washeth his dress in wine, And his garment in the blood of grapes. <sup>12</sup> The eyes are red with wine, And the teeth [are] white with milk. <sup>13</sup> Zebulun will dwell at the shore of the seas; Yea, he will be at the shore of the ships, And his side [toucheth] upon Sidon. <sup>14</sup> Issachar is a bony ass, Crouching down between two hurdles. <sup>15</sup> And he saw the rest that it was good, And the land that it was pleasant; And he bowed his shoulder to bear, And was a tributary servant. <sup>16</sup> Dan will judge his people, As another of the tribes of Israel. <sup>17</sup> Dan will be a serpent on the way, A horned snake on the path, Which biteth the horse`s heels, So that the rider falleth backwards. ¹⁸ I wait for thy salvation, O Jehovah. ¹⁹ Gad -- troops will rush upon him; But he will rush upon the heel. ²⁰ Out of Asher, his bread shall be fat, And he will give royal dainties. ²¹ Naphtali is a hind let loose; He giveth goodly words. ²² Joseph is a fruitful bough; A fruitful bough by a well; [His] branches shoot over the wall. ²³ The archers have provoked him, And shot at, and hated him; ²⁴ But his bow abideth firm, And the arms of his hands are supple By the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob. From thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel: ²⁵ From the ?God of thy father, and he will help thee; And from the Almighty, and he will bless thee -- With blessings of heaven from above, With blessings of the deep that lieth under, With blessings of the breast and of the womb. ²⁶ The blessings of thy father surpass the blessings of my ancestors, Unto the bounds of the everlasting hills: They shall be on the head of Joseph, And on the crown of the head of him that was separated from his brethren. ²⁷ Benjamin -- [as] a wolf will he tear to pieces; In the morning he will devour the prey, And in the evening he will divide the booty. ²⁸ All these are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is what their father spoke to them; and he blessed them: every one according to his blessing he blessed them.

These are the families of Dan after their families. ⁴³ All the families of the Shuhamites, according to those that were numbered of them, were sixty-four thousand four hundred. ⁴⁴ The sons of Asher, after their families: of Jimnah, the family of the Jimnites; of Jishvi, the family of the Jishvites; of Beriah, the family of the Beriites. ⁴⁵ Of the sons of Beriah: of Heber, the family of the Heberites; of Malchiel, the family of the Malchielites. ⁴⁶ And the name of the daughter of Asher was Serah. ⁴⁷ These are the families of the sons of Asher according to those that were numbered of them, fifty-three thousand four hundred. ⁴⁸ The sons of Naphtali, after their families: of Jahzeel, the family of the Jahzeelites; of Guni, the family of the Gunites; ⁴⁹ of Jezer, the family of the Jezerites; of Shillem, the family of the Shillemites. ⁵⁰ These are the families of Naphtali, according to their families; and they that were numbered of them were forty-five thousand four hundred. ⁵¹ These were the numbered of the children of Israel, six hundred and one thousand seven hundred and thirty. ⁵² And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, ⁵³ Unto these shall the land be divided for an inheritance according to the number of the names; ⁵⁴ to the many thou shalt increase their inheritance, and to the few thou shalt diminish their inheritance; to every one shall his inheritance be given according to those that were numbered of him. ⁵⁵ Notwithstanding the land shall be divided by lot; according to the names of the tribes of their fathers shall they inherit; ⁵⁶ according to lot shall his inheritance be divided to each, be they many or few in number. ⁵⁷ And these are the numbered of the Levites, after their families: of Gershon, the family of the Gershonites; of Kohath, the family of the Kohathites; of Merari, the family of the Merarites. ⁵⁸ These are the families of the Levites: the family of the Libnites, the family of the Hebronites, the family of the Mahlites, the family of the Mushites, the family of the Korahites. -- And Kohath begot Amram. ⁵⁹ And the name of Amram`s wife was Jochebed, the daughter of Levi, who was born to Levi in Egypt; and she bore to Amram Aaron and Moses, and Miriam their sister. ⁶⁰ And to Aaron were born Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. ⁶¹ And Nadab and Abihu died, when they presented strange fire before Jehovah. ⁶² And those that were numbered of the [Levites] were twenty-three thousand, all males from a month old and upward; for they were not numbered among the children of Israel, because there was no inheritance given them among the children of Israel. ⁶³ These are they that were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who numbered the children of Israel in the plains of Moab, by the Jordan of Jericho. ⁶⁴ But among these there was not a man numbered by Moses and Aaron the priest, who numbered the children of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai. ⁶⁵ For Jehovah had said of them, They shall surely die in the wilderness. And there was not left a man of them, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.

¹ Then drew near the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph; and these were the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.

³⁹ -- And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and they dispossessed the Amorites that were therein. ⁴⁰ And Moses gave Gilead to Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt therein. ⁴¹ And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took their hamlets, and called them Havoth-Jair.

⁴¹ And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took their hamlets, and called them Havoth-Jair. ⁴² And Nobah went and took Kenath, and its dependent villages, and called it Nobah, after his name.

¹⁴ Jair the son of Manasseh took the whole region of Argob as far as the border of the Geshurites and Maachathites, and called Bashan after his own name, Havoth-Jair, to this day.) ¹⁵ And I gave Gilead to Machir.

²⁶ And thou shalt not bring an abomination into thy house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing.

¹⁷ And thou shalt not let anything cleave to thy hand of the devoted thing; that Jehovah may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and shew thee mercy, and have compassion upon thee, and multiply thee, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers;

¹⁶ And the children of the Kenite, Moses` father-in-law, had gone up out of the city of palm-trees with the children of Judah into the wilderness of Judah, which is in the south of Arad; and they went and dwelt with the people.

¹¹ (Now Heber the Kenite had severed himself from the Kenites, from the children of Hobab the father-in-law of Moses, and had pitched his tent as far as the oak of Zaannaim, which is by Kedesh.)

² And there was a certain man of Zoreah, of the family of the Danites, and his name was Manoah. And his wife was barren and did not bear.

²⁵ And the Spirit of Jehovah began to move him at Mahaneh-Dan, between Zoreah and Eshtaol.

³¹ And his brethren came down, and all the house of his father, and took him, and brought him up, and buried him between Zoreah and Eshtaol in the sepulchre of Manoah his father. And he had judged Israel twenty years.

¹⁹ And they two went until they came to Bethlehem. And it came to pass, when they came to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved about them, and the [women] said, Is this Naomi?

⁴ And behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem; and he said to the reapers, Jehovah be with you! And they said to him, Jehovah bless thee!

¹¹ And all the people that were in the gate and the elders said, [We are] witnesses. Jehovah make the woman that cometh into thy house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel; and acquire power in Ephratah, and make thyself a name in Bethlehem; ¹² and let thy house become like the house of Pherez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, of the seed which Jehovah shall give thee of this young woman.

¹⁸ Now these are the generations of Pherez. Pherez begot Hezron, ¹⁹ and Hezron begot Ram, and Ram begot Amminadab,

¹⁹ and Hezron begot Ram, and Ram begot Amminadab, ²⁰ and Amminadab begot Nahshon, and Nahshon begot Salmon, ²¹ and Salmon begot Boaz, and Boaz begot Obed, ²² and Obed begot Jesse, and Jesse begot David.

¹ And the men of Kirjath-jearim came, and fetched up the ark of Jehovah, and brought it into the house of Abinadab on the hill, and hallowed Eleazar his son to keep the ark of Jehovah.

⁶ And Saul said to the Kenites, Go, depart, and go down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them; for ye shewed kindness to all the children of Israel when they came up out of Egypt. And the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.

¹ And Jehovah said to Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thy horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite; for I have provided me a king among his sons.

⁶ And it came to pass when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely Jehovah`s anointed is before him. ⁷ But Jehovah said to Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have rejected him; for it is not as man seeth; for man looketh upon the outward appearance, but Jehovah looketh upon the heart. ⁸ Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, Neither has Jehovah chosen this one. ⁹ Then Jesse made Shammah pass by. And he said, Neither has Jehovah chosen this one. ¹⁰ And Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, Jehovah has not chosen these.

¹⁰ And Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, Jehovah has not chosen these. ¹¹ And Samuel said to Jesse, Are these all the young men? And he said, There is yet the youngest remaining, and behold, he is feeding the sheep. And Samuel said to Jesse, Send and fetch him; for we will not sit at table till he come hither.

¹¹ And Samuel said to Jesse, Are these all the young men? And he said, There is yet the youngest remaining, and behold, he is feeding the sheep. And Samuel said to Jesse, Send and fetch him; for we will not sit at table till he come hither. ¹² And he sent and brought him in. And he was ruddy, and besides of a lovely countenance and beautiful appearance. And Jehovah said, Arise, anoint him; for this is he. ¹³ And Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren. And the Spirit of Jehovah came upon David from that day forward. And Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.

¹² Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem-Judah whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons; and the man was old in the days of Saul, advanced [in years] among men. ¹³ And the three eldest of the sons of Jesse had gone and followed Saul to the battle; and the names of his three sons that went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, and the second to him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.

¹³ And the three eldest of the sons of Jesse had gone and followed Saul to the battle; and the names of his three sons that went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, and the second to him Abinadab, and the third Shammah. ¹⁴ And David was the youngest; and the three eldest had followed Saul.

²⁸ And Eliab, his eldest brother, heard while he spoke to the men; and Eliab`s anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why art thou come down? and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy pride and the naughtiness of thy heart; for thou art come down that thou mightest see the battle.

¹⁹ And the Ziphites came up to Saul to Gibeah, saying, Does not David hide himself with us in strongholds in the wood, on the hill of Hachilah, which is on the south of the waste?

¹ And the Ziphites came to Saul to Gibeah, saying, Does not David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, facing the waste?

⁶ And David spake and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab`s brother, saying, Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp? And Abishai said, I will go down with thee.

¹⁴ We made a raid against the south of the Cherethites, and against what [belongs] to Judah, and against the south of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire.

¹⁸ And there were three sons of Zeruiah there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel. Now Asahel was swift of foot, as one of the gazelles that are in the field. ¹⁹ And Asahel pursued after Abner; and in going he turned not to the right hand nor to the left from behind Abner. ²⁰ Then Abner looked behind him, and said, Art thou Asahel? And he said, I am. ²¹ And Abner said to him, Turn thee aside, to thy right hand or to thy left, and lay hold of one of the young men, and take for thyself his armour. But Asahel would not turn aside from following him. ²² And Abner said again to Asahel, Turn thee aside from following me: why should I smite thee to the ground? how then should I hold up my face to Joab thy brother? ²³ But he refused to turn aside; therefore Abner with the hinder end of the spear smote him in the belly, so that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there, and died in the same place. And it came to pass, that as many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died stood still.

³⁹ And I am this day weak, though anointed king; and these men, the sons of Zeruiah, are too hard for me: Jehovah reward the doer of evil according to his wickedness!

³⁸ Now Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three years.

² And Joab sent to Tekoah, and fetched thence a wise woman, and said to her, I pray thee, feign thyself to be a mourner, and put on mourning garments, I pray, and anoint not thyself with oil, but be as a woman that hath a long time mourned for the dead;

⁹ And Abishai the son of Zeruiah said to the king, Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? let me go over, I pray thee, and take off his head. ¹⁰ And the king said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah? so let him curse, for Jehovah has said to him, Curse David! Who shall then say, Why dost thou so? ¹¹ And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, who came forth of my bowels, seeks my life: how much more now a Benjaminite? let him alone and let him curse; for Jehovah has bidden him.

²⁵ And Absalom set Amasa over the host instead of Joab; which Amasa was the son of a man whose name was Jithra the Israelite, that went in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah, Joab`s mother.

¹³ And say to Amasa, Art thou not my bone and my flesh? God do so to me and more also, if thou be not captain of the host before me continually instead of Joab.

²² And David said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah, that ye should this day be adversaries to me? Should there any man be put to death this day in Israel? for do not I know that I am this day king over Israel?

⁴ And the king said to Amasa, Call me the men of Judah together within three days, and do thou attend here. ⁵ So Amasa went to call together [the men of] Judah; but he delayed longer than the set time which he had appointed him. ⁶ And David said to Abishai, Now shall Sheba the son of Bichri do us more harm than did Absalom. Take thou thy lord`s servants, and pursue after him, lest he get him fortified cities and escape our sight. <sup>7</sup> And there went out after him Joab`s men, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and all the mighty men; and they went out of Jerusalem, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri. ⁸ When they were at the great stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa came before them. And Joab was girded with his coat, his dress, and upon it was the girdle of the sword which was fastened on his loins in its sheath; and as he went forth it fell out. ⁹ And Joab said to Amasa, Art thou well, my brother? And Joab took Amasa by the beard with the right hand to kiss him. ¹⁰ And Amasa had taken no notice of the sword that was in Joab`s hand: so he smote him with it in the belly and shed out his bowels to the ground, and struck him not again; and he died. And Joab and Abishai his brother pursued after Sheba the son of Bichri. <sup>11</sup> And one of Joab`s young men stood by [Amasa] and said, He that favours Joab, and he that is for David, let him follow Joab. ¹² Now Amasa wallowed in blood in the midst of the highway. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he removed Amasa out of the highway into the field, and cast a cloth upon him, when he saw that every one that came by stood still.

⁶ let seven men of his sons be given up to us, and we will hang them up to Jehovah in Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of Jehovah. And the king said, I will give [them].

²⁹ Heleb the son of Baanah, the Netophathite, Ittai the son of Ribai of Gibeah of the children of Benjamin,

³⁸ Ira the Ithrite, Gareb the Ithrite,

⁵ And thou knowest also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, what he did to the two captains of the hosts of Israel, to Abner the son of Ner, and to Amasa the son of Jether, whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his girdle that was about his loins, and upon his sandals that were on his feet.

³² And Jehovah shall requite the blood which he shed upon his own head, because he fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, without my father David`s knowledge: Abner the son of Ner, captain of the host of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the host of Judah.

³¹ For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Calcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol; and his fame was in all the nations round about.

¹⁵ And he departed thence, and found Jehonadab the son of Rechab [coming] to meet him; and he greeted him, and said to him, Is thy heart right, as my heart is with thy heart? And Jehonadab said, It is. -- If it be, give [me] thy hand. -- And he gave [him] his hand; and [Jehu] took him up to him into the chariot,

⁹ And the sons of Hezron, who were born to him: Jerahmeel, and Ram, and Chelubai.

¹⁸ And Caleb the son of Hezron had children by Azubah [his] wife, and by Jerioth: her sons are these: Jesher, and Shobab, and Ardon. ¹⁹ And Azubah died, and Caleb took him Ephrath, and she bore him Hur.

¹⁹ And Azubah died, and Caleb took him Ephrath, and she bore him Hur. ²⁰ And Hur begot Uri, and Uri begot Bezaleel.

²³ and Geshur and Aram took the villages of Jair from them, with Kenath and its dependent towns, sixty cities. All these were sons of Machir the father of Gilead. ²⁴ And after the death of Hezron in Caleb-Ephratah, Abijah, Hezron`s wife, bore him Ashhur, the father of Tekoa.

²⁴ And after the death of Hezron in Caleb-Ephratah, Abijah, Hezron`s wife, bore him Ashhur, the father of Tekoa.

³⁴ And Sheshan had no sons, but daughters; and Sheshan had an Egyptian servant, whose name was Jarha; ³⁵ and Sheshan gave his daughter to Jarha his servant as wife, and she bore him Attai.

⁴² And the sons of Caleb the brother of Jerahmeel were Mesha his firstborn, who was the father of Ziph; and the sons of Mareshah the father of Hebron.

⁴⁵ and the son of Shammai was Maon; and Maon was the father of Beth-zur. ⁴⁶ And Ephah, Caleb`s concubine, bore Haran, and Moza, and Gazez; and Haran begot Gazez.

⁴⁸ Maachah, Caleb`s concubine, bore Sheber and Tirhanah; ⁴⁹ and she bore Shaaph the father of Madmannah, Sheva the father of Machbena and the father of Gibea. And the daughter of Caleb was Achsah. ⁵⁰ These are the sons of Caleb. The sons of Hur, the firstborn of Ephratah: Shobal the father of Kirjath-jearim,

⁵² And Shobal the father of Kirjath-jearim had sons: Haroeh, Hazi-Hammenuhoth. ⁵³ And the families of Kirjath-jearim were the Jithrites, and the Puthites, and the Shumathites, and the Mishraites; of them came the Zoreathites and the Eshtaolites.

¹ The sons of Judah: Pherez, Hezron, and Carmi, and Hur, and Shobal. ² And Reaiah the son of Shobal begot Jahath; and Jahath begot Ahumai and Lahad. These are the families of the Zoreathites.

⁴ and Penuel the father of Gedor, and Ezer the father of Hushah: these were the sons of Hur, the firstborn of Ephratah, [and] father of Bethlehem. ⁵ -- And Ashhur the father of Tekoa had two wives, Helah and Naarah.

⁹ And Jabez was more honoured than his brethren; and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bore him with pain. ¹⁰ And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, Oh that thou wouldest richly bless me, and enlarge my border, and that thy hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God brought about what he had requested.

²⁹ And at Gibeon dwelt the father of Gibeon; and his wife`s name was Maachah.

⁴ Uthai the son of Ammihud, the son of Omri, the son of Imri, the son of Bani, of the children of Pherez the son of Judah. ⁵ And of the Shilonites: Asaiah the firstborn, and his sons. ⁶ And of the sons of Zerah: Jeuel; and their brethren, six hundred and ninety.

¹⁴ and he asked not counsel of Jehovah; therefore he slew him, and transferred the kingdom to David the son of Jesse.

³⁰ Maharai the Netophathite, Heled the son of Baanah the Netophathite,

⁴⁰ Ira the Ithrite, Gareb the Ithrite, ⁴¹ Uriah the Hittite, Zabad the son of Ahlai,

⁵ And David assembled all Israel from the Shihor of Egypt unto the entrance of Hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kirjath-jearim. ⁶ And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, to Kirjath-jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, of Jehovah, who sitteth between the cherubim, whose name is placed [there].

⁷ And he defied Israel; but Jonathan the son of Shimea David`s brother smote him.

¹⁸ for Judah, Elihu of the brethren of David; for Issachar, Omri the son of Michael;

⁵ And the brazen altar that Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, was there before the tabernacle of Jehovah; and Solomon and the congregation sought unto it.

²¹ The children of Bethlehem, a hundred and twenty-three. ²² The men of Netophah, fifty-six.

⁶ -- this Ezra went up from Babylon; and he was a ready scribe in the law of Moses, which Jehovah the God of Israel had given. And the king granted him all his request, according to the hand of Jehovah his God upon him.

²⁴ And Pethahiah the son of Meshezabeel, of the children of Zerah the son of Judah, was at the king`s hand in all matters concerning the people.

²⁸ And the children of the singers were assembled, both from the plain [of Jordan] round about Jerusalem, and from the villages of the Netophathites,

³¹ Madmenah is fugitive; the inhabitants of Gebim take to flight.

¹ And there shall come forth a shoot out of the stock of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots shall be fruitful;

¹⁰ And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, standing as a banner of the peoples: the nations shall seek it; and his resting-place shall be glory.

⁸ How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of Jehovah is with us? Behold, certainly the lying pen of the scribes hath made it falsehood.

² Go to the house of the Rechabites, and speak with them, and bring them into the house of Jehovah, into one of the chambers, and give them wine to drink. ³ And I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habazziniah, and his brethren, and all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites, ⁴ and I brought them into the house of Jehovah, into the chamber of the sons of Hanan the son of Igdaliah, the man of God, which was by the chamber of the princes, which was above the chamber of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the threshold. ⁵ And I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites bowls full of wine, and cups, and I said unto them, Drink wine. ⁶ And they said, We will drink no wine; for Jonadab the son of Rechab our father commanded us, saying, Ye shall drink no wine, ye nor your sons for ever; ⁷ neither shall ye build house, nor sow seed, nor plant vineyard, nor shall ye have [any]; but all your days ye shall dwell in tents, that ye may live many days in the land where ye sojourn. ⁸ And we have hearkened unto the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab our father in all that he commanded us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, and our daughters,

¹⁹ therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, There shall not fail to Jonadab the son of Rechab a man to stand before me, for ever.

¹ The words of Amos, who was among the herdmen of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.

² (And thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, little to be among the thousands of Judah, out of thee shall he come forth unto me [who is] to be Ruler in Israel: whose goings forth are from of old, from the days of eternity.)

³ and Juda begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom, and Esrom begat Aram, ⁴ and Aram begat Aminadab, and Aminadab begat Naasson, and Naasson begat Salmon,

¹ Now Jesus having been born in Bethlehem of Judaea, in the days of Herod the king, behold magi from the east arrived at Jerusalem, saying,

⁶ And *thou* Bethlehem, land of Juda, art in no wise the least among the governors of Juda; for out of thee shall go forth a leader who shall shepherd my people Israel.

²² And having removed him he raised up to them David for king, of whom also bearing witness he said, I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who shall do all my will.

²⁹ Because whom he has foreknown, he has also predestinated [to be] conformed to the image of his Son, so that he should be [the] firstborn among many brethren.
