⁴ And they kept the feast of tabernacles, according to that which was written, and [offered] whole burnt offerings daily in number according to the ordinance, the exact daily rate.

¹⁴ And they found written in the law which the Lord commanded Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in booths, in the feast in the seventh month: ¹⁵ and that they should sound with trumpets in all their cities, and in Jerusalem. And Esdras said, Go forth to the mountain, and bring branches of olive, and branches of cypress trees, and branches of myrtle, and branches of palm trees, and branches of [every] thick tree, to make booths, according to that which was written. ¹⁶ And the people went forth, and brought [them], and made booths for themselves, each one upon his roof, and in their courts, and in the courts of the house of God, and in the streets of the city, and as far as the gate of Ephraim. ¹⁷ And all the congregation who had returned from the captivity, made booths, and lived in booths: for the children of Israel [had] not done so from the days of Jesus the son of Naue until that day: and there was great joy. ¹⁸ And [Esdras] read in the book of the law of God daily, from the first day even to the last day: and they kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day a solemn assembly, according to the ordinance.

¹⁶ And it shall come to pass, [that] whoever shall be left of all the nations that came against Jerusalem, shall even come up every year to worship the king, the Lord Almighty, and to keep the feast of tabernacles. ¹⁷ And it shall come to pass, [that] whoever of all the families of the earth shall not come up to Jerusalem to worship the king, the Lord Almighty, even these shall be added to the others. ¹⁸ And if the family of Egypt shall not go up, nor come; then upon them shall be the overthrow with which the Lord shall strike all the nations, whichever of them shall not come up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

¹¹ And you shall rejoice before the Lord your God, you and your son, and your daughter, your man-servant and your maidservant, and the Levite, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow which dwells among you, in whatever place the Lord your God shall choose, that his name should be called there.

¹¹ and you shall rejoice in all the good [things], which the Lord your God has given you, [you] and your family, and the Levite, and the stranger that is within you.

⁹ And Neemias, and Esdras the priest and scribe, and the Levites, and they that instructed the people, spoke and said to all the people, It is a holy day to the Lord our God; do not mourn, nor weep. For all the people wept when they heard the words of the law. ¹⁰ And [the governor] said to them, Go, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions to them that have nothing; for the day is holy to our Lord: and faint not, for the Lord is our strength. ¹¹ And the Levites caused all the people to be silent, saying, Be silent, for [it is] a holy day, and despond not. ¹² So all the people departed to eat, and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great mirth, for they understood the words which he made known to them.

⁷ Go, eat your bread with mirth, and drink your wine with a joyful heart; for now God has favourably accepted your works.

¹ And in that day you shall say, I [will] bless you, O Lord; for you were angry with me, but you have turned aside your wrath, and have pitied me. ² Behold, my God is my Saviour; I will trust in him, and not be afraid: for the Lord is my glory and my praise, and is become my salvation. ³ Draw you⌃ therefore water with joy out of the wells of salvation. ⁴ And in that day you shall say, sing to the Lord, call aloud upon his name, proclaim his glorious [deeds] among the Gentiles; make mention that his name is exalted. ⁵ Sing praise to the name of the Lord; for he has done great [things]: declare this in all the earth. ⁶ Exalt and rejoice, you⌃ that dwell in Sion: for the Holy One of Israel is exalted in the midst of her.

⁶ And the Lord of hosts shall make [a feast] for all the nations: on this mount they shall drink gladness, they shall drink wine: ⁷ they shall anoint themselves with ointment in this mountain. Impart you all these things to the nations; for this is [God's] counsel upon all the nations. ⁸ Death has prevailed and swallowed [men] up; but again the Lord God has taken away every tear from every face. He has taken away the reproach of [his] people from all the earth: for the mouth of the Lord has spoken it.

²⁹ Must you⌃ always rejoice, and go into my holy places continually, as they that keep a feast? and must you⌃ go with a pipe, as those that rejoice, into the mountain of the Lord, to the God of Israel?

¹⁰ and shall return, and come to Sion with joy, and everlasting joy [shall be] over their head; for on their head [shall be] praise and exultation, and joy shall take possession of them: sorrow and pain, and groaning have fled away.

³⁶ Seven days shall you⌃ offer whole burnt offerings to the Lord, and the eighth-day shall be a holy convocation to you; and you⌃ shall offer whole burnt offerings to the Lord: it is a time of release, you⌃ shall do no servile work. ³⁷ These [are] the feasts to the Lord, which you⌃ shall call holy convocations, to offer burnt offerings to the Lord, whole burnt offerings and their meat-offerings, and their drink-offerings, that for each day on its day: ³⁸ besides the sabbaths of the Lord, and besides your gifts, and besides all your vows, and besides your free will offerings, which you⌃ shall give to the Lord. ³⁹ And on the fifteenth day of this seventh month, when you⌃ shall have completely gathered in the fruits of the earth, you⌃ shall keep a feast to the Lord seven days; on the first day there shall be a rest, and on the eighth day a rest. ⁴⁰ And on the first day you⌃ shall take goodly fruit of trees, and branches of palm trees, and thick boughs of trees, and willows, and branches of osiers from the brook, to rejoice before the Lord your God seven days in the year. ⁴¹ [It is] a perpetual statute for your generations: in the seventh month you⌃ shall keep it. ⁴² Seven days you⌃ shall dwell in tabernacles: every native in Israel shall dwell in tents,

¹² And on the fifteenth day of this seventh month you⌃ shall have a holy convocation; you⌃ shall do no servile work; and you⌃ shall keep it a feast to the Lord seven days. ¹³ And you⌃ shall bring near whole burnt offerings, a sacrifice for a smell of sweet savor to the Lord, on the first day thirteen calves of the herd, two rams, fourteen lambs of a year old; they shall be without blemish. ¹⁴ their meat-offerings [shall be] fine flour mingled with oil; there shall be three tenth deals for one calf, for the thirteen calves; and two tenth deals for one ram, for the two rams. ¹⁵ A tenth deal for every lamb, for the fourteen lambs. ¹⁶ And one kid of the goats for a sin-offering; beside the continual whole burnt offering: there shall be their meat-offerings and their drink-offerings. ¹⁷ And on the second day twelve calves, two rams, fourteen lambs of a year old without blemish. ¹⁸ Their meat-offering and their drink-offering shall be for the calves and the rams and the lambs according to their number, according to their ordinance. ¹⁹ And one kid of the goats for a sin-offering; beside the perpetual whole burnt offering; their meat-offerings and their drink-offerings. ²⁰ On the third day eleven calves, two rams, fourteen lambs of a year old without blemish. ²¹ Their meat-offering and their drink-offering shall be to the calves and to the rams and to the lambs according to their number, according to their ordinance. ²² And one kid of the goats for a sin-offering; beside the continual whole burnt offering; [there shall be] their meat-offerings and their drink-offerings. ²³ On the fourth day ten calves, two rams, fourteen lambs of a year old without spot. ²⁴ There shall be their meat-offerings and their drink-offerings to the calves and the rams and the lambs according to their number, according to their ordinance. ²⁵ And one kid of the goats for a sin-offering; beside the continual whole burnt offering [there shall be] their meat-offerings and their drink-offerings. ²⁶ On the fifth day nine calves, two rams, fourteen lambs of a year old without spot. ²⁷ Their meat-offerings and their drink-offerings [shall be] to the calves and the rams and the lambs according to their number, according to their ordinance. ²⁸ And one kid of the goats for a sin-offering; beside the perpetual whole burnt offering; [there shall be] their meat-offerings and their drink-offerings. ²⁹ On the sixth day eight calves, two rams, fourteen lambs of a year old without blemish. ³⁰ There shall be their meat-offerings and their drink-offerings to the calves and rams and lambs according to their number, according to their ordinance. ³¹ And one kid of the goats for a sin-offering; beside the perpetual whole burnt offering; [there shall be] their meat-offerings and their drink-offerings. ³² On the seventh day seven calves, two rams, fourteen lambs of a year old without blemish. ³³ Their meat-offerings and their drink-offerings shall be to the calves and the rams and the lambs according to their number, according to their ordinance. ³⁴ And one kid of the goats for a sin-offering; beside the continual whole burnt offering; [there shall be] their meat-offerings and their drink-offerings. ³⁵ And on the eighth day there shall be to you a release: you⌃ shall do no servile work in it. ³⁶ And you⌃ shall offer whole burnt offerings [as] sacrifices to the Lord, one calf, one ram, seven lambs of a year old without spot. ³⁷ [There shall be] their meat-offerings and their drink-offerings for the calf and the ram and the lambs according to their number, according to their ordinance. ³⁸ And one kid of the goats for a sin-offering; beside the continual whole burnt offering; [there shall be] their meat-offerings and their drink-offerings.

¹³ And he will love you, and bless you, and multiply you; and he will bless the off-spring of your body, and the fruit of your land, your corn, and your wine, and your oil, the herds of your oxen, and the flocks of your sheep, on the land which the Lord sware to your fathers to give to you.

⁸ The Lord send upon you his blessing in your barns, and on all on which you shall put your hand, in the land which the Lord your God gives you. ⁹ The Lord raise you up for himself a holy people, as he sware to your fathers; if you will hear the voice of the Lord your God, and walk in all his ways. ¹⁰ And all the nations of the earth shall see you, that the name of the Lord is called upon you, and they shall stand in awe of you. ¹¹ And the Lord your God shall multiply you for good in the offspring of your body, and in the offspring of your cattle, and in the fruits of your land, on your land which the Lord sware to your fathers to give to you. ¹² May the Lord open to you his good treasure, the heaven, to give rain to your land in season: may he bless all the works of your hands: so shall you lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow; and you shall rule over many nations, but they shall not rule over you.

¹⁶ If you will listen to the commands of the Lord your God, which I command you this day, to love the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his ordinances, and his judgments; then you⌃ shall live, and shall be many in number, and the Lord your God shall bless you in all the land into which you go to inherit it.

¹⁴ Keep you⌃ a feast to me three times in the year. ¹⁵ Take heed to keep the feast of unleavened bread: seven days you⌃ shall eat unleavened bread, as I charged you at the season of the month of new [corn], for in it you came out of Egypt: you shall not appear before me empty. ¹⁶ And you shall keep the feast of the harvest of first fruits of your labors, whatever you shall have sown in your field, and the feast of completion at the end of the year in the gathering in of your fruits out of your field. ¹⁷ Three times in the year shall all your males appear before the Lord your God.

²⁰ And the firstborn of an ass you shall redeem with a sheep, and if you will not redeem it you shall pay a price: every firstborn of your sons shall you redeem: you shall not appear before me empty.

²² And you shall keep to me the feast of weeks, the beginning of wheat harvest; and the feast of ingathering in the middle of the year. ²³ Three times in the year shall every male of your appear before the Lord the God of Israel.

³ And still farther, because I took pleasure in the house of my God, I have gold and silver which I have procured for myself, and, behold, I have given them to the house of my God over and above, beyond what I have prepared for the holy house. ⁴ Three thousand talents of gold of Suphir, and seven thousand talents of fine silver, for the overlaying of the walls of the sanctuary: ⁵ [for you to use] the gold for [things of] gold, and the silver for things of silver, and for every work by the hand of the artificers. And who is willing to dedicate himself in work this day for the Lord? ⁶ Then the heads of families, and the princes of the children of Israel, and the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, and the overseers of the works, and the king's builders, offered willingly. ⁷ And they gave for the works of the house of the Lord five thousand talents of gold, and ten thousand gold [pieces], and ten thousand talents of silver, and eighteen thousand talents of brass, and a hundred thousand talents of iron. ⁸ And they who had [precious] stone, gave it into the treasuries of the house of the Lord by the hand of Jeiel the Gedsonite. ⁹ And the people rejoiced because of the willingness, for they offered willingly to the Lord with a full heart: and king David rejoiced greatly.

¹⁴ But who am I, and what [is] my people, that we have been able to be thus forward [in offering] to you? for all things [are] your, and of your own have we given you, ¹⁵ for we are strangers before you, and sojourners, as all our fathers [were]: our days upon the earth [are] as a shadow, and there is no remaining. ¹⁶ O Lord our God, as for all this abundance which I have prepared that a house should be built to your holy name, it is of your hand, and all [is] your. ¹⁷ And I know, Lord, that you are he that searches the hearts, and you love righteousness. I have willingly offered all these things in simplicity of heart; and now I have seen with joy your people here present, willingly offering to you.

⁸ Sion heard and rejoiced; and the daughters of Judea exulted, because of your judgments, O Lord.

¹⁸ And her trade and her gain shall be holiness to the Lord: it shall not be gathered for them, but for those that dwell before the Lord, [even] all her trade, to eat and drink and be filled, and for a covenant [and] a memorial before the Lord.

⁶ and the camels of Madiam and Gaepha shall cover you: all from Saba shall come bearing gold, and shall bring frankincense, and they shall publish the salvation of the Lord. ⁷ And all the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered, and the rams of Nabaeoth shall come; and acceptable sacrifices shall be offered on my altar, and my house of prayer shall be glorified. ⁸ Who are these [that] fly as clouds, and as doves with young ones to me? ⁹ The isles have waited for me, and the ships of Tharsis among the first, to bring your children from afar, and their silver and their gold with them, and [that] for the sake of the holy name of the Lord, and because the Holy One of Israel is glorified.

⁹ You⌃ looked for much, and there came little; and it was brought into the house, and I blew it away. Therefore thus says the Lord Almighty, Because my house is desolate, and you⌃ run everyone into his own house;

⁸ And if the man be too poor for the valuation, he shall stand before the priest; and the priest shall value him: according to what the man who has vowed can afford, the priest shall value him.

⁶³ And the Athersastha told them that they should not eat of the most holy things, until a priest should arise with Lights and Perfections.

²⁵ And Moses chose out able men out of all Israel, and he made them captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, and captains of fifties and captains of tens over the people. ²⁶ And they judged the people at all times; and every too burdensome matter they brought to Moses, but every light matter they judged themselves.

⁶ his master shall bring him to the judgment-seat of God, and then shall he bring him to the door, —to the door-post, and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl, and he shall serve him for ever.

¹⁵ So I took of you wise and understanding and prudent men, and I set them to rule over you as rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, and rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens, and officers to your judges. ¹⁶ And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear [causes] between your brethren, and judge rightly between a man and [his] brother, and the stranger that is with him. ¹⁷ You shall not have respect to persons in judgment, you shall judge small and great equally; you shall not shrink from before the person of a man, for the judgment is God's; and whatever matter shall be too hard for you, you⌃ shall bring it to me, and I will hear it.

⁹ then you shall arise and go up to the place which the Lord your God shall choose, and you shall come to the priests the Levites, and to the judge who shall be in those days, and they shall search out [the matter] and report the judgment to you.

¹² And the man whoever shall act in haughtiness, so as not to listen to the priest who stands to minister in the name of the Lord your God, or the judge who shall preside in those days, that man shall die, and you shall remove the evil one out of Israel.

¹⁷ then shall the two men between whom the controversy is, stand before the Lord, and before the priests, and before the judges, who may be in those days. ¹⁸ And the judges shall make diligent inquiry, and, behold, [if] and unjust witness has borne unjust testimony; [and] has stood up against his brother;

² your elders and your judges shall come forth, and shall measure the distances of the cities round about the slain man:

⁴ Of the overseers over the works of the house of the Lord [there were] twenty-four thousand, and [there were] six thousand scribes and judges;

²⁹ For the Issaarites, Chonenia, and [his] sons [were over] the outward ministration over Israel, to record and to judge.

⁵ And he appointed judges in all the strong cities of Juda, city by city. ⁶ And he said to the judges, Take good heed what you⌃ do: for you⌃ judge not for man, but for the Lord, and with you are matters of judgment. ⁷ And now let the fear of the Lord be upon you, and be wary, and do [your duty]: for there is no unrighteousness with the Lord our God, neither [is it for him] to respect persons, nor take bribes. ⁸ Moreover Josaphat appointed in Jerusalem some of the priests, and Levites, and heads of houses of Israel, for the judgment of the Lord, and to judge the dwellers in Jerusalem. ⁹ And he charged them, saying, Thus shall you⌃ do in the fear of the Lord, in truth and with a perfect heart. ¹⁰ Whatsoever man of your brethren that dwell in their cities [shall bring] the cause that comes before you, between blood [and] blood, and between precept and commandment, and ordinances and judgments, you⌃ shall even decide for them; so they shall not sin against the Lord, and there shall not be wrath upon you, and upon your brethren: thus you⌃ shall do, and you⌃ shall not sin. ¹¹ And, behold, Amarias the priest is head over you in every matter of the Lord; and Zabdias the son of Ismael is head over the house of Juda in every matter of the king; and the scribes and Levites are before you: be strong and active, and the Lord shall be with the good.

² For behold, your enemies have made a noise; and they that hate you have lifted up the head. ³ Against your people they have craftily imagined a device, and have taken counsel against your saints.

² You shall not associate with the multitude for evil; you shall not join yourself with a multitude to turn aside with the majority so as to shut out judgment.

⁶ You shall not wrest the sentence of the poor in his judgment. ⁷ You shall abstain from every unjust thing: you shall not kill the innocent and just, and you shall not justify the wicked for gifts. ⁸ And you shall not receive gifts; for gifts blind the eyes of the seeing, and corrupt just words.

¹⁵ You shall not act unjustly in judgment: you shall not accept the person of the poor, nor admire the person of the mighty; with justice shall you judge your neighbor.

¹⁷ For the Lord your God, he [is] God of gods, and the Lord of lords, the great, and strong, and terrible God, who does not accept persons, nor will he by any means accept a bribe:

¹⁷ You shall pay him his wages the same day, the sun shall not go down upon it, because he is poor and he trusts in it; and he shall cry against you to the Lord, and it shall be sin in you.

¹⁹ Cursed is every one that shall pervert the judgment of the stranger, and orphan, and widow: and all the people shall say, So be it.

³ And his sons did not walk in his way; and they turned aside after gain, and took gifts, and perverted judgments.

³ Behold, [here am] I, answer against me before the Lord and before his anointed: whose calf have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom of you have I oppressed? or from whose hand have I taken a bribe, even [to] a sandal? bear witness against me, and I will make restitution to you.

²¹ if I lifted my hand against an orphan, trusting that my strength was far superior [to his]: ²² let them my shoulder start from the blade-bone, and my arm be crushed off from the elbow.

²³ The ways of a man who unjustly receives gifts in [his] bosom do not prosper; and an ungodly man perverts the ways of righteousness.

²³ And this thing I say to you that are wise [for you] to learn: It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment.

²⁸ Be not a false witness against your [fellow] citizen, neither exaggerate with your lips.

⁷ As the sound of thorns under a caldron, so is the laughter of fools: this is also vanity.

¹⁷ learn to do well; diligently seek judgment, deliver him that is suffering wrong, plead for the orphan, and obtain justice for the widow.

²³ Your princes are rebellious, companions of thieves, loving bribes, seeking after rewards; not pleading for orphans, and not heeding the cause of widows.

¹⁵ He that walks in righteousness, speaking rightly, hating transgression and iniquity, and shaking his hands from gifts, stopping his ears that he should not hear the judgment of blood, shutting his eyes that he should not see injustice.

²⁸ and they have transgressed [the rule of] judgment; they have not judged the cause of the orphan, nor have they judged the cause of the widow.

¹² In you they have received gifts to shed blood; they have received in you interest and usurious increase; and by oppression you have brought your wickedness to the full, and have forgotten me, says the Lord.

³ they prepare their hands for mischief, the prince asks [a reward], and the judge speaks flattering words; it is the desire of their soul:

⁴ Therefore the law is frustrated, and judgment proceeds not effectually, for the ungodly [man] prevails over the just; therefore perverse judgment will proceed.

³ Her princes within her were as roaring lions, her judges as the wolves of Arabia; they remained not till the morrow. ⁴ Her prophets are light [and] scornful men: her priests profane the holy things, and sinfully transgress the law. ⁵ But the just Lord is in the midst of her, and he will never do an unjust thing: morning by morning he will bring out his judgment to the light, and it is not hidden, and he knows not injustice by extortion, nor injustice in strife.

¹ And now, Israel, hear the ordinances and judgments, all that I teach you this day to do: that you⌃ may live, and be multiplied, and that you⌃ may go in and inherit the land, which the Lord God of your fathers gives you.

¹³ You shall not have in your bag various weights, a great and a small. ¹⁴ You shall not have in your house various measures, a great and a small. ¹⁵ You shall have a true and just weight, and a true and just measure, that you may live long upon the land which the Lord your God gives you for an inheritance. ¹⁶ For every one that does this [is] an abomination to the Lord your God, even every one that does injustice.

⁵ But the man who shall be just, who executes judgment and righteousness,

⁹ and has walked in my commandments and kept mine ordinances, to do them; he is righteous, he shall surely live, says the Lord.

⁸ Has it [not] been told you, O man, what [is] good? or what does the Lord require of you, but to do justice, and love mercy, and be ready to walk with the Lord your God?

¹³ You⌃ shall destroy their altars, and break in pieces their pillars, and you⌃ shall cut down their groves, and the graven images of their gods you⌃ shall burn with fire.

⁵ But thus shall you⌃ do to them; you⌃ shall destroy their altars, and shall break down their pillars, and shall cut down their groves, and shall burn with fire the graven images of their gods.

⁷ And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and forgot the Lord their God, and served Baalim and the groves.

³³ And Achaab made a grove; and Achaab did yet more abominably, to provoke the Lord God of Israel, and [to sin against] his own life so that he should be destroyed: he did evil above all the kings of Israel that were before him.

¹⁶ They forsook the commandments of the Lord their God, and made themselves graven images, [even] two heifers, and they made groves, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served Baal.

³ And he built again the high places, which Ezekias his father [had] demolished; and set up an altar to Baal, and made groves as Achaab king of Israel [made them]; and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.

³ And he returned and built the high places, which his father Ezekias had pulled down, and set up images to Baalim, and made groves, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.

⁴ You shall not make to yourself an idol, nor likeness of anything, whatever things are in the heaven above, and whatever are in the earth beneath, and whatever are in the waters under the earth.

¹ I [am] the Lord your God: you⌃ shall not make to yourselves gods made with hands, or graven; neither shall you⌃ rear up a pillar for yourselves, neither shall you⌃ set up a stone [for] an object in your land to worship it: I am the Lord your God.

³¹ You shall not do so to your God; for they have sacrificed to their gods the abominations of the Lord which he hates, for they burn their sons and their daughters in fire to their gods.

⁴ Now Jeremias came and went through the midst of the city: for they [had] not put him into the house of the prison.

¹⁷ and let none of you devise evil in his heart against his neighbor; and love not a false oath: for all these things I hate, says the Lord Almighty.
