Then truly did the soldiers these things.

²⁸ After this, Jesus knowing that all things were already completed, that the writing might be finished, says, I thirst. ²⁹ Then was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they having filled a sponge with vinegar, put upon hyssop, and brought near to his mouth.

³² Then came the soldiers, and truly brake the legs of the first, and of the other crucified with him. ³³ And upon having come to Jesus, when they saw him already dead, they brake not his legs: ³⁴ But one of the soldiers with a javelin pricked his side, and quickly came out blood and water. ³⁵ And he having seen has testified, and his testimony is true: and he knows that he says true, that ye might believe. ³⁶ For these were that the writing be completed, A bone of him shall not be broken. ³⁷ And again another writing. says, They shall look on whom they goaded.

²³ This one, surrendered by the fixed counsel and foreknowledge of God, having taken by lawless hands, having fastened, ye slew:

¹⁷ And now, brethren, I know that ye did in ignorance, as also your rulers.

²⁸ To do what thy hands and thy counsel predestinated to be.

²⁷ For they dwelling in Jerusalem, and their rulers, not having known him, and the voices of the prophets which being read in every sabbath, having judged, they filled up. ²⁸ And having found no cause of death, they desired Pilate to have him slain. ²⁹ And when they finished all things written concerning him, having taken down from the wood, they put in a tomb.

³⁵ And they did not kindness with the house of Jerubbaal, Gideon, according to all the good which he did with Israel.

¹ And a man of Belial was met with there, and his name Sheba, son of Bichri, a man, a Jaminite: and he will strike upon the trumpet and say, No portion to us in David, and no inheritance to us in the son of Jesse: a man to his tent to Israel.

¹³ But I will not rend all the kingdom; one tribe I will give to thy son for sake of David my servant, and for sake of Jerusalem which I chose.

³⁴ And I will not take all the kingdom from his hand, for I will set him chief all the days of his life for sake of David my servant whom I chose him. because he watched my commands and my laws.

³⁶ And to his son I will give one tribe on account of there being a light to David my servant all the days before me in Jerusalem the city which I chose to me to put my name there.

³⁹ And I will humble the seed of David for this, but not all the days.

¹⁷ And he will say, I saw all Israel scattered to the mountains as sheep which not to them a shepherd: and Jehovah will say, No lords to these; they shall turn back a man to his house in peace.

³⁶ And a shout of joy will pass through in the camp as the sun went down, saying, A man to his city, and a man to his land.

¹⁶ And all Israel saw that the king heard not to them, and the people will turn back to the king, saying, What portion to us in David? And no inheritance in the son of Jesse: each to thy tents, O Israel: now see thy house, O David. And all Israel will go to his tents.

¹ Wherefore did the nations rage, and the peoples will meditate emptiness? ² The kings of the earth will place themselves, and the princes sat down together against Jehovah and against his Messiah. ³ We will tear away his bands, and we will cast away his cords from us. ⁴ He dwelling in the heavens shall laugh: Jehovah shall deride to them. ⁵ Then shall he speak to them in his anger, and in his burning shall he tery them. ⁶ And I anointed my king over Zion my holy mountain.

¹⁰ For the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath thou wilt gird up.

²⁹ I set his seed forever, and his throne as the days of the heavens. ³⁰ If his sons shall forsake my law, and not go in my judgments; ³¹ If they shall profane my laws and watch not my commands; ³² And I reviewed their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with blows. ³³ And my mercy I will not rend from him, and I will not lie in my faithfulness, ³⁴ I will not profane my covenant, and I will not change the going forth of my lips. ³⁵ Once did I swear in my holy place if I shall lie to David. ³⁶ His seed shall be forever and his throne as the sun before me. ³⁷ As the moon it shall be prepared forever, and a faithful witness in the cloud. Silence.

¹⁷ There will I cause the horn to David to spring up: I prepared a lamp for my Messiah.

² And it will be announced to the house of David, saying, Aram rested upon Ephraim; and his heart will move to and fro and the heart of his people, as the woods of the forest moved from the face of the wind.

⁶ We will go up against Judah and terrify her and subdue her for us, and we will make a king in the midst of her, the son of Tabeal: ⁷ Thus said the Lord Jehovah, It shall not stand, and it shall not be.

⁶ For a child was born to us, a son was given to us, and the dominion shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called, Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, everlasting Father, Captain of Peace. ⁷ To the increase of his dominion and to peace no end, upon the throne of David and upon his kingdom to prepare it and to support it in judgment and in justice from now and even to forever: the zeal of Jehovah of armies will do this.

⁵ Behold the days coming, says Jehovah, and I raised up to David a just sprout, and a king reigned and prospered, and he did judgment and justice in the earth. ⁶ In his days shall Judah be saved, and Israel shall dwell with confidence: and this his name which he shall be called: Jehovah Our Justice.

¹⁵ In those days and in that time I will cause the sprout of justice to spring up to David; and he did judgment and justice in the land. ¹⁶ In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell with confidence; and this is what shall be called to her: Jehovah our Justice.

²¹ Also my covenant shall be broken with David ray servant from there being to him a son reigning upon his throne; and with the Levites, the priests, from serving me.

¹⁴ And his citizens hated him, and sent an embassy after him, saying, We wish not this to reign over us.

²⁷ But those mine enemies, not haying wished me to reign over them, bring hither, and slaughter before me.

¹⁷ And the sons of Israel dwelling in the cities of Judah, and Rehoboam will reign over them.

¹³ And the priests and the Levites which were in all Israel stood forth to him from all their bound. ¹⁴ For the Levites forsook their areas and their possession, and they will come to Judah and to Jerusalem: for Jeroboam and his sons rejected them from being priest to Jehovah: ¹⁵ And he will set up to him priests for the heights, for the wood-demons, and for the calves which he made. ¹⁶ And after them from all the tribes of Israel those giving their heart to seek Jehovah God of Israel came to Jerusalem to sacrifice to Jehovah the God of their fathers. ¹⁷ And they will strengthen the kingdom of Judah, and make firm Rehoboam son of Solomon, for three years: for they went in the way of David and Solomon for three years.

⁴ And Moses will cry to Jehovah, saying, What shall I do to this people? yet a little and they will stone me.

¹⁴ And he will send them to Lebanon, ten thousand by the month; being changed, a month they shall be in Lebanon and two months in his house. And Adoniram over the tribute.

¹⁸ And he will say, If for peace they came forth, seize them living; and if for war they came forth, seize them living. ¹⁹ And these came forth from the city, the boys of the chiefs of the provinces, and the strength which was after them. ²⁰ And they will strike a man his man: and Aram will flee, and Israel will pursue them: and Ben-hadad king of Aram, will escape upon a horse, and the horsemen.

¹⁸ And king Rehoboam will send Hadoram who was over the tribute; and the sons of Israel will stone upon him, and he will die. And king Rehoboam strengthened himself to go up into the chariot to flee to Jerusalem.

²¹ And they will conspire against him, and stone him with stone by the commands of the king in the enclosure of the house of Jehovah.

¹ The unjust fled and none pursuing, and the just shall be confident as the young lion. ² In the transgression of a land many its chiefs: and by a man understanding to know, the place shall be extended.

¹⁶ And he strong of heart among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, says Jehovah.

²⁶ Then the commander having gone with attendants, brought them, not with force: for they feared the people, lest they might be stoned.

⁵⁷ And having cried with a great voice, they held fast their ears, and rushed unanimously upon him, ⁵⁸ And having cast out of the city, they stoned: and the witnesses laid down their garments at the feet of a young man called Saul.

⁹ And Joshua raised up twelve stones in the midst of Jordan, in the place of the standing of the feet of the priest lifting up the ark of the covenant: and they shall be there till this day.

¹⁹ And ye this day rejected your God who himself saves you from all your evils and your straits; and ye will say to him, That thou shalt put a king over us. And now stand ye before Jehovah by your tribes and by your thousands.

²¹ For he rent Israel from above the house of David; and they will make Jeroboam son of Nebat, king; and Jeroboam will thrust out Israel king after Jehovah, and he caused them to sin a great sin.

¹⁹ And Israel will break with the house of David even to this day.

⁵ Is it not to you to know that Jehovah God of Israel gave the kingdom to David over Israel forever, to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt? ⁶ And Jeroboam son of Nebat servant of Solomon son of David, will rise up and will rebel against his lord. ⁷ And vain men will gather together to him, sons of Belial; and they will strengthen themselves against Rehoboam son of Solomon; and Rehoboam being young and tender of heart, and he was not strong before them.

¹⁷ And Abijah and his people will strike upon them a great blow: and there will fall wounded from Israel five hundred thousand chosen men.

¹⁷ Jehovah shall bring upon thee and upon thy people, and upon thy father's house, days which came not, from the day Ephraim turned away from Judah; the king of Assur.

⁶ And having fallen, again to renew to repentance; crucifying to themselves the Son of God, and exposing to ignominy.

²⁴ And Samuel will say to all the people, See whom Jehovah chose to him, for none like him among all the people. And all the people will shout and say, The king shall live.

³² (And the one tribe shall be to him, for sake of my servant David, and for sake of Jerusalem the city which I chose in it from all the tribes of Israel:)

¹⁷ And the sons of Israel dwelling in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam will reign over them.

⁴ They made kings, and not from me: and they made princes, and I knew not: their silver and their gold they made to them images to cut off.

¹² Ephraim surrounded me with falsehood, and the house of Israel with deceit: and Judah even ruled with God, and was faithful with the holy ones.

⁵ And Joab will give the number of reviewing the people to David. And all Israel will be a thousand thousand and a hundred thousand men drawing sword: and Judah four hundred and seventy thousand men drawing sword.

¹ And Rehoboam will come to Jerusalem, and he will convoke together the house of Judah and Benjamin a hundred and eighty thousand chosen, making war to fight with Israel, to turn back the kingdom to Rehoboam. ² And the word of Jehovah will be to Shemaiah a man of God, saying, ³ Say to Rehoboam son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,

⁸ And there will be to Asa an army lifting up the shield and spear, out of Judah three hundred thousand; and from Benjamin lifting up the shield and bending the bow, two hundred and eighty thousand: all these strong of power.

¹¹ And Asa will call to Jehovah his God, and he will say, O Jehovah, nothing with thee to help between many to those of no power: help us, O Jehovah our God, for upon thee we relied, and in thy name we came against this multitude. O Jehovah, thou our God; man shall not detain with thee.

¹⁴ And these their reviewing for the house of their fathers: to Judah the chiefs of thousands; Pleasure the chief, and with him strong ones of power, three hundred thousand. ¹⁵ And upon his hand, Jehovah gave the chief, and with him two hundred and eighty thousand. ¹⁶ And upon his hand Jehovah lifted up, son of The remembered, he volunteering to Jehovah: and with him two hundred thousand strong of power. ¹⁷ And from Benjamin: him God knew, strong of power; and with him those bending the bow and the shield, two hundred thousand. ¹⁸ And upon his hand him Jehovah gave, and with him a hundred and eighty thousand armed for war. ¹⁹ These serving the king, besides which the king gave in the fortified cities in all Judah.

³⁰ No wisdom and no understanding, and no counsel against Jehovah. ³¹ The horse is prepared for the day of war and salvation is to Jehovah.

¹ And this the blessing which Moses the man of God praised the sons of Israel before his death.

¹ And behold a man of God came out of Judah in the word of Jehovah to the house of God; and Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense.

⁴ And it will be when the king heard the word of the man of God which he called upon the altar in the house of God; and Jeroboam will stretch forth his hand from above the altar, saving, Seize him. And his hand which he stretched forth upon him will be dried up, and he will not be able to turn it back to him. ⁵ And the altar was rent, and the fat will be poured out from the altar according to the sign that the man of God gave by the word of Jehovah.

¹¹ And one prophet, an old man, dwelt in the house of God; and his sons will come and relate to him all the work which the man of God did that day in the house of God: the words which he spake to the king, and they will relate them to their father.

¹⁸ And she will say to Elijah, What to me and to thee, thou man of God? camest thou to me to bring to remembrance mine iniquity, and to kill my son?

²⁴ And the woman will say to Elijah, Now this I know that thou a man of God, and the word of Jehovah in thy mouth, truth.

¹⁶ And he will say, At this appointment about the time thou living to embrace a son. And she will say, My lord, thou man of God, do not deceive With thy servant

²² And she will call to her husband and say, Send now to me one of the boys, and one of the she asses, and I will run even to the man of God, and I will turn back

²⁵ And she will go and come to the man of God to mount Carmel. And it will be when the man of God saw her from opposite, and he will say to Gehazi his boy, Behold this Shunamitess.

²⁷ And she will come to the man of God to the mountain, and she will lay hold upon his feet; and Gehazi will come near to push her away; and the man of God will say, Let go to her, for her soul is bitter to her: and Jehovah hid from me and announced not to me.

² And the word of Jehovah will be to Shemaiah a man of God, saying,

⁵ And Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam, and the chiefs of Judah who were gathered together to Jerusalem from the face of Shishak, and he will say to them, Thus said Jehovah, Ye forsook me, and I also left you in the hand of Shishak. ⁶ And the chiefs of Israel, and the king, will humble themselves; and they will say, Jehovah is just. ⁷ And in Jehovah's seeing that they humbled themselves, the word of Jehovah was to Shemaiah, saying, They humbled themselves; I will not destroy them, and I gave to them as a little for deliverance; and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.

¹¹ And thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow justice, devotion, faith, love, patience, meekness.

⁴² Ye shall not go up, for Jehovah is not in the midst of you; and shall ye not be struck before your enemies?

¹⁵ And the king heard not to the people, for the turn was from Jehovah for sake of lifting up his word which he spake by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam son of Nebat.

⁴ Thus said Jehovah, Ye shall not go up, and ye shall not war with your brethren: turn ye back each to his house: for from me was this word. And they will hear the words of Jehovah and turn back from going against Jeroboam.

⁷ And a man of God came to him, saying, O king, the army of Israel shall not go with thee; for Jehovah is not with Israel all the sons of Ephraim. ⁸ For if thou goest, to be strong for war: God will cause thee to falter before the enemy, for there is power with God to help and to cause to falter.

¹⁰ And Amaziah will separate them for the troop which came to him from Ephraim to go to their place: and their anger will kindle greatly against Judah, and they will turn back to their place in the heat of anger.

³⁰ And Jacob will call the name of the place, the face of God: for I saw God lace to face, and my soul shall be saved. ³¹ And the sun will rise to him when he passed through the face of God, and he limped upon his thigh.

¹ And David will say in his heart, Now shall I be added one day into the hand of Saul: nothing good to me but escaping, I will escape into the land of the rovers; and Saul despairing to seek me farther in all the bound of Israel: and I was saved out of his hand.

³⁸ And being if thou shalt hear all that I shall command thee, and go in my way and do the straight in mine eyes to watch my laws and my commands as David my servant did, and I was with thee and built to thee a faithful house as I built to David, and I gave Israel to thee.

²⁰ And they will rise early in the morning and go forth to the desert of Tekoa: and in their going forth Jehoshaphat stood, and he will say, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabiting Jerusalem; Believe in Jehovah your God and ye shall be firm; believe in his prophets and prosper.

¹ To the overseer; of David. The fool said in his heart, No God. They were corrupted, they made their; works abominable, none doing good.

⁹ And the head of Ephraim, Shomeron, and the head of Shomeron, the son of Remaliah. If ye will not believe, because ye will not believe.

¹⁸ And if thou wilt not go forth to the chiefs of the king of Babel, and this city was given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they burnt it with fire, and thou shalt not escape from their hand. ¹⁹ And king Zedekiah will say to Jeremiah, I fear the Jews who fell to the Chaldeans, lest they shall give me into their hand and they illtreated me. ²⁰ And Jeremiah will say, They shall not give. Hear, now, to the voice of Jehovah for which I speak to thee: and it shall be well to thee, and thy soul shall live. ²¹ And if thou refuse to go forth, this the word which Jehovah caused me to see:

⁶ And certain of the scribes were sitting there, and discussing in their hearts, ⁷ Why does this thus speak blasphemies? who can remit sins but the one God ⁸ And Jesus quickly having known that they discuss in themselves, says to them, Why discuss ye these things in your hearts

³⁹ And the Pharisee having called him, seeing, said within himself, This, if he were a prophet, had known who and what race of woman which had touched him: for she is sinful.

⁴⁷ Then gathered together the chief priests and Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man does many signs. ⁴⁸ If we let him thus go, all will believe on him: and the Romans will come and take away also our place and nation. ⁴⁹ And a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being chief priest that year, said to them, Ye know nothing, ⁵⁰ Neither turn ye in your thoughts that it is profitable to us, that one man die for the people, and the nation perish not.

¹⁰ And the chief priests took counsel that they might also kill Lazarus; ¹¹ Because many for him retired, and believed in Jesus.

¹⁹ Then said the Pharisees among themselves, Ye see that ye aid nothing; behold, the world has departed after him.

¹⁶ Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that truly a known sign has been by them, manifest to all them dwelling in Jerusalem: and we cannot deny. ¹⁷ But that it be not more and more exposed to the wind among the people, let us threaten them with a threat, to speak no more in this name to any man.

¹² And it shall be when the Egyptians shall see thee, they shall say, This is his wife; and they will kill me, and thee they will permit to live. ¹³ Say, now, thou my sister, that it shall be well to me because of thee, and my soul shall live by means of thee.

⁷ And the men of the place will ask concerning his wife; and he will say, She is my sister: for he will be afraid to say, My wife, lest the men of the place will kill me for Rebekah, because she is good in appearance.

⁵ But the place which Jehovah your God shall choose out of all your tribes to put his name there, to his dwelling shall ye seek, and there do thou come: ⁶ And bring there your burnt-offerings and your sacrifices, and your tenths, and the offerings of your hand, and your vows, and your voluntary gifts and the first-born. of your cattle and your sheep: . ⁷ And eat there before Jehovah your God, and rejoice in all the stretching forth of your hand, ye and your houses in which Jehovah thy God blessed thee.

¹⁴ But in the place which Jehovah shall choose in one of thy tribes, there thou shalt bring up thy burnt-offering, and there thou. shalt do all I command thee.

² And sacrifice the passover to Jehovah thy God, of the sheep, and the oxen in the place which Jehovah shall choose to cause his name to dwell there.

⁶ But at the place which Jehovah thy God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there, thou shalt sacrifice the passover in the evening, as the sun went down, the appointment of thy coming out of Egypt

²⁹ For thine eye to be opened to this house night and day, to the place of which thou saidst, My name shall be there; to hear to the supplication which thy servant shall pray to this place. ³⁰ And wilt thou hear to the prayer of thy servant and of thy people Israel which they shall pray to this place? and wilt thou hear to the place of thy dwelling to the heavens? and hear and forgive?

⁴⁴ If thy people shall go forth to war against his enemy in the way which thou shalt send them, and pray to Jehovah the way of the city which thou didst choose in it, and the house which I built for thy name:

²⁵ The fear of man will give a snare: and he trusting in Jehovah shall be exalted.

¹⁹ For it has been written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and put away the understanding of the intelligent. ²⁰ Where the wise? where the scribe? where the seekers together of this life has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

¹⁰ Come, we will be wise with them, lest they shall multiply, and it was when war shall happen, and also being added to our armies and fighting against us, and they went up from the land.

⁴ Thou shalt not make to thee a carved image, and every appearance that is in the heavens above, and that is in the earth beneath, and that is in the water under the earth.

⁴ And he will take from their hand, and will form it with a graver, and he will make it a molten calf: and they will say, These thy gods, Israel, who brought thee up from the land of Egypt

⁸ For they turned aside quickly from the way which I commanded them: they made for them a molten calf, and worship to it, and will sacrifice to it, and will say, These thy gods, Israel, which raised thee up out of the land of Egypt

¹⁴ And Jehovah commanded me in that time to teach you laws and judgments for you to do them in the land which ye are passing over there to possess it ¹⁵ And watch ye greatly to your souls, for ye saw not any appearance in the day Jehovoh spoke to you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire: ¹⁶ Lest ye shall be corrupted and make to you a carved thing, the appearance of any likeness, the model of male or female, ¹⁷ The model of any cattle that is upon the earth, the model of any winged bird that shall fly in the heavens, ¹⁸ The model of any thing creeping upon the earth, the model of any fish that is in the waters from under the earth:

⁸ And he will forsake the counsel of the old men which they counseled him, and he will consult with the children which grew up with him which were standing before him. ⁹ And he will say to them, What do ye advise? and we will turn back word to this people who spake to me, saying, Lighten from the yoke which thy father gave upon us.

²⁹ But the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin, Johu turned not away from after them, the calves of gold which were in the house of God and which were in Dan.

¹⁶ And they will forsake all the commands of Jehovah their God, and make to them a molten thing, two Calves; and they will make images, and they will worship to all the army of the heavens, and serve Baal.

¹⁵ And he will set up to him priests for the heights, for the wood-demons, and for the calves which he made.

¹ Wo to sons turning aside, says Jehovah, to make counsel and not from me; and to cover a covering, and not my spirit so as to add sin upon sin:

¹⁰ Who said to the seeing, Ye shall not see, and to the perceiving, Ye shall not perceive for us right things, speak to us smooth things, perceive delusions.

⁴ They made kings, and not from me: and they made princes, and I knew not: their silver and their gold they made to them images to cut off. ⁵ Thy calf rejected, O Shomeron; mine anger was kindled against them: how long shall they not be able to be clean? ⁶ For from Israel, and this workman made it, and it is not God: for the calf of Shomeron shall be broken in pieces. ⁷ For they shall sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: no stalk to it: the sprout shall not make flour: perhaps it will make, strangers will swallow it down.

⁵ For the calves of the house of vanity they shall fear dwelling in Shomeron: for his people mourned over it, and his priests will exult over it, for its glory, for it was removed from it ⁶ Also it shall be brought to Assur a gift to king Jareb: Ephraim shall take shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his counsel.

¹⁹ Promising them liberty, they being servants of corruption: for by whom any is conquered, by him has he been made to serve.

⁸ And he will remove from thence to the mountain from the cast of the house of God, and shall stretch forth his tent; Bethel from the sea, and Hai from the east, and he shall build there an altar to Jehovah, and will call upon the name of Jehovah.

¹⁴ And Abram shall hear that his brother was carried away captive, and he will draw forth his trained, born in his house, eighteen and three hundred, and will pursue, even to Dan.

¹⁹ And he will call the name of that place the house of God: and Ailam Luz the name of the city at the beginning.

¹ And God will say to Jacob, Arise, go up to the house of God and dwell there: and make there an altar to God, having been seen to thee in thy fleeing from the face of Esau thy brother.

¹ And Moses will go up from the desert of Moab to mount Nebo, the head of Pisgah, which is upon the face of Jericho: and Jehovah will cause him to see all the land of Gilead, even to Dan.

²⁷ And they took what Micah made, and the priest which was to him, and they will go to Laish, upon a people quiet and confiding: and they will strike them with the mouth of the sword, and they will burn the city with fire. ²⁸ And there was none delivering, for it was far off from Sidon, and the word was not to them with man; and it is in the valley which is to the house of the street And they will build the city and dwell in it ²⁹ And they will call the name of the city, Dan, in the name of Dan their father, who will be born to Israel. And yet Laish the name of the city at first. ³⁰ And the sons of Dan will raise up to them the carved thing: and Jonathan, son of Gershom, son of Manasseh, he and his sons were priests to the tribe of Danites even to the day of the captivity of the land. ³¹ And they will set up to them Micah's carved thing, which he made, all the days the home of God was in Shiloh.

¹ And all the sons of Israel will go forth, and the assembly will be gathered together as one man, from Dan even to the Well of the Oath, and the land of Gilead to Jehovah to Mizpeh.

¹⁶ From Dan was heard the snorting of his horses; from the voice of the neighings of his strong ones all the land trembled: and they will come and cut up the land, and its fulness; the city and those dwelling in it

¹⁵ If thou Israel commit fornication Judah shall not transgress; and ye shall not come to Gilgal, and ye shall not go up to the house of vanity, and ye shall not swear, Jehovah lives.

¹⁴ They swearing by the trespass of Shomeron, and they said, Thy God lives, O Dan, and the way of the well of the oath lives, and they fell, and they shall rise no more.

³⁴ And in this word it will be for sin to the house of Jeroboam, and to cut off and to destroy from the face of the earth.

³¹ And Jehu watched not to go in the law of Jehovah God of Israel with all his heart: he turned not away from the sins of Jeroboam who caused Israel to sin.

¹⁰ And Aaron and his sons thou shalt set up, and they shall watch their priesthood; and the stranger coming near shall die.

¹⁵ In his day thou shalt give his hire, and the sun shall not go down upon it, for he is poor, and he lifted up his soul to it; and he will cry against thee to Jehovah, and it was sin in thee.

²⁴ And he will go, and a lion will find him in the way and kill him: and his corpse will be cast in the way, and the ass standing by it., and the lion standing by the corpse.

³² For being, the word shall be which he cried by the word of Jehovah upon the altar which is in the house of God, and upon all the houses of the heights which are in the cities of Shomeron. ³³ After this word Jeroboam turned not back from his evil way, and he will turn back and make from the ends of the people, priests of the heights: him desiring he will fill his hand, and he will be priest of the heights.

³² And they will be fearing Jehovah, and make to them priests of their ends upon the heights, and they will be doing to them in the houses of the heights.

¹⁴ For the Levites forsook their areas and their possession, and they will come to Judah and to Jerusalem: for Jeroboam and his sons rejected them from being priest to Jehovah: ¹⁵ And he will set up to him priests for the heights, for the wood-demons, and for the calves which he made.

⁹ Did ye not thrust out the priests of Jehovah, the sons of Aaron and the Levites? and ye will make to you priests according to the peoples of the lands, every one coming to fill his hand with a bullock, son of the cow, and seven rams; and he was priest to no God.

²⁵ At every head of the way thou didst build thy height, and thou wilt cause thy beauty to be abhorred, and thou wilt open wide thy feet to every one passing by, and thou wilt multiply thy fornication.

⁶ And thou shalt say to the perverse to the house of Israel, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Enough for you of all your abominations, O house of Israel. ⁷ In your bringing in the sons of the stranger, uncircumcised of heart and uncircumcised of flesh, to be in my holy place to profane it, my house, in your bringing near my bread, the fat and the blood, and they will break my covenant by all your abominations. ⁸ And ye watched not the watches of my holy place: and ye set for watching of my watches in my holy place for yourselves.

¹¹ If Gilead nothing? Surely they were vanity: in Gilgal they sacrificed oxen; also their altars as heaps upon the furrows of the field.

³³ And Jehovah will speak to Moses, saying, ³⁴ Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, In the fifteenth day of this seventh month the festival of tents seven days to Jehovah. ³⁵ In the first day a holy calling: any work of labor ye shall not do. ³⁶ Seven days shall ye bring a sacrifice to Jehovah; in the eighth day a holy calling shall be to you, and bring ye a sacrifice to Jehovah: it is a restraining: any work of labor ye shall not do. ³⁷ These the appointments to Jehovah, which ye shall call them callings holy, to bring a sacrifice to Jehovah, a burnt-offering and a gift, a sacrifice, and libations, the word of a day in its day: ³⁸ Besides the Sabbaths of Jehovah, and besides your gifts, and besides all your vows, and besides all your voluntary gifts which ye shall give to Jehovah. ³⁹ But in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, in your gathering the produce of the land, ye shall keep a festival of Jehovah seven days: in the first day a Sabbath, and in the eighth day a Sabbath. ⁴⁰ And take ye to yourselves in the first day the fruit of the tree of ornament, palms of the palm trees, and branches of the tree interwoven, and willows of the stream; and ye rejoiced before Jehovah your God seven days. ⁴¹ And keep it a festival to Jehovah seven days in the year: a law forever to your generations; in the seventh month shall ye keep it ⁴² Ye shall dwell in tents seven days; all the natives in Israel shall dwell in tents: ⁴³ So that your generations shall know that I caused the sons of Israel to dwell in tents in my bringing them out of the land of Egypt: I Jehovah your God. ⁴⁴ And Moses will speak the appointments of Jehovah to the sons of Israel.

¹² And in the fifteenth day to the seventh month, a holy calling shall be to you: all work of service ye shall not do, and keep ye a festival to Jehovah seven days. ¹³ And ye brought near a burnt-offering, a sacrifice, an odor of sweetness to Jehovah: thirteen bullocks, sons of a cow, two rams, fourteen lambs, sons of a year: blameless shall they be. ¹⁴ And their gift fine flour mingled with oil, three tenths for the one bullock, for the thirteen bullocks, two tenths for the one ram, for the two rams, ¹⁵ And a tenth tenth for the one lamb, for the fourteen lambs; ¹⁶ And one he goat of sin, besides the burnt-offering of continuance, its gift and its libation. ¹⁷ And in the second day, twelve bullocks, sons of a cow, two rams, fourteen blameless lambs, sons of a year. ¹⁸ And their gift and their libation for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, according to their number, according to their judgment: ¹⁹ And one he goat of the goats for sin: besides the burnt-offering of continuance, and its gift and their libations. ²⁰ And in the third day, eleven bullock; two rams, fourteen blameless lambs, sons of a year. ²¹ And their gift and their libations for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, according to their number, according to judgment: ²² And one he goat of the goats for sin; besides the burnt-offering of continuance, and its gift and its libation. ²³ And in the fourth day, ten bullocks, two rams, fourteen blameless lambs, sons of a year. ²⁴ Their gift and their libations for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, according to their number, according to judgment: ²⁵ And one he goat of the goats for sin, besides the burnt-offering of continuance, its gift and its libation. ²⁶ And in the fifth day, nine bullocks, two rams, fourteen blameless lambs, sons of a year: ²⁷ And their gift and their libations for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, according to their number, according to judgment: ²⁸ And one he goat of sin, besides the burnt-offering of continuance, its gift and its libation. ²⁹ And in the sixth day, eight bullocks, two rams, fourteen blameless lambs, sons of a year: ³⁰ And their gift and their libations for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, according to their number, according to judgment: ³¹ And one he goat for sin, besides the burnt-offering of continuance, its gift and its libations. ³² And in the seventh day, seven bullocks, two rams, fourteen blameless lambs, sons of a year: ³³ And their gift and their libations for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, according to their number, according to their judgment: ³⁴ And one he goat of sin, besides the burnt-offering of continuance, its gift and its libation: ³⁵ And in the eighth day, a restraint shall be to you: all work of service ye shall not do, ³⁶ And bring ye near a burnt-offering, a sacrifice, an odor of sweetness to Jehovah: one bullock, one ram, seven blameless lambs, sons of a year: ³⁷ Their gift and their libations for the bullock, for the ram, and for the lambs, according to their number, according to judgment: ³⁸ And one he goat of sin, besides the burnt-offering of. continuance, and its gift and its libation. ³⁹ These ye shall do to Jehovah in your appointments, besides your vows and your voluntary gifts, for your burnt-offerings, and for your gifts, and your libations, and for your peace. ⁴⁰ And Moses will say to the sons of Israel according to all which Jehovah commanded Moses.

² And every man of Israel will be convoked to king Solomon in the month Ethanim in the festival: this the seventh month.

⁵ And king Solomon and all the assembly of Israel assembled together to him, with him before the ark sacrificing sheep and oxen which shall not be counted and shall not be numbered for multitude.

⁸ In their giving their threshold with my thresholds, and their door-post by my door-posts, and the wall between me and between them, and they defiled my holy name with their abominations which they did: and consuming them in my anger.

¹⁰ And Amaziah priest of the house of God, will send to Jeroboam, kind of Israel, saying, Amos conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel: the land will not be able to endure all his words. ¹¹ For thus said Amos: Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel being taken captive shall be carried away captive from his land. ¹² And Amaziah will say to Amos, Thou seer, go flee for thyself to the land of Judah, and eat there bread, and there shalt thou prophesy. ¹³ And thou shalt no more add to prophesy in the house of God, for it is the king's holy place, and it is the house of the kingdom.

⁸ This people draw near me with their mouth, and honour me with their lips; but their heart keeps off far from me. ⁹ But they worship me in vain, teaching doctrines the commands of men.

³⁹ And it was to you for fringes, and ye saw it, and ye remembered all the commands of Jehovah, and ye did them; and ye shall not seek after your heart, and after your eyes, which ye committed fornication after them.

¹² And saying, Now the rovers will come down to me to Gilgal, and I entreated not the face of Jehovah: and I will contain myself, and will bring up a burnt-offering.

⁶ And he will go forth and war against the rovers, and he will break in the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod; and he will build cities in Ashdod, and among the rovers.

³⁹ And they will be defiled with their works: and they will commit fornication in their doings.

¹³ And Jehovah will say, Because that this people drew near with their month, and honored me with their lips, and their heart was far from me, and their fear towards me shall be taught from the command of men.

⁶ And should not honour his father or his mother. And ye have annulled the command of God by your tradition.

¹³ Abrogating the word of God by your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things ye do.
