¹ And Elijah the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gilead, saith unto Ahab, `Jehovah, God of Israel, liveth, before whom I have stood, there is not these years dew and rain, except according to my word.' <sup>2</sup> And the word of Jehovah is unto him, saying, <sup>3</sup> `Go from this place; and thou hast turned for thee eastward, and been hidden by the brook Cherith, that is on the front of the Jordan, ⁴ and it hath been, from the brook thou dost drink, and the ravens I have commanded to sustain thee there.' ⁵ And he goeth and doth according to the word of Jehovah, yea, he goeth and dwelleth by the brook Cherith, that is on the front of the Jordan, ⁶ and the ravens are bringing to him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening, and of the brook he drinketh. ⁷ And it cometh to pass, at the end of days, that the brook drieth up, for there hath been no rain in the land,
⁸ and the word of Jehovah is unto him, saying, ⁹ `Rise, go to Zarephath, that is to Zidon, and thou hast dwelt there; lo, I have commanded there a widow woman to sustain thee.' <sup>10</sup> And he riseth, and goeth to Zarephath, and cometh in unto the opening of the city, and lo there, a widow woman gathering sticks, and he calleth unto her, and saith, `Bring, I pray thee, to me, a little water in a vessel, and I drink.' ¹¹ And she goeth to bring it, and he calleth unto her and saith, `Bring, I pray thee, to me a morsel of bread in thy hand.' <sup>12</sup> And she saith, `Jehovah thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but the fulness of the hand of meal in a pitcher, and a little oil in a dish; and lo, I am gathering two sticks, and have gone in and prepared it for myself, and for my son, and we have eaten it—and died.' ¹³ And Elijah saith unto her, `Fear not, go, do according to thy word, only make for me thence a little cake, in the first place, and thou hast brought out to me; and for thee and for thy son make—last; <sup>14</sup> for thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, The pitcher of meal is not consumed, and the dish of oil is not lacking, till the day of Jehovah's giving a shower on the face of the ground.' <sup>15</sup> And she goeth, and doth according to the word of Elijah, and she eateth, she and he, and her household—days; <sup>16</sup> the pitcher of meal was not consumed, and the dish of oil did not lack, according to the word of Jehovah that He spake by the hand of Elijah.
<sup>17</sup> And it cometh to pass, after these things, the son of the woman, mistress of the house, hath been sick, and his sickness is very severe till that no breath hath been left in him. <sup>18</sup> And she saith unto Elijah, `What—to me and to thee, O man of God? thou hast come unto me to cause mine iniquity to be remembered, and to put my son to death!'

³⁸ And Elisha hath turned back to Gilgal, and the famine is in the land, and the sons of the prophets are sitting before him, and he saith to his young man, `Set on the great pot, and boil pottage for the sons of the prophets.'

²⁵ and there is a great famine in Samaria, and lo, they are laying siege to it, till the head of an ass is at eighty silverlings, and a forth of the cab of dovesdung at five silverlings.

¹ And Elisha saith, `Hear ye a word of Jehovah: thus said Jehovah, About this time to-morrow, a measure of fine flour is at a shekel, and two measures of barley at a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.' <sup>2</sup> And the captain whom the king hath, by whose hand he hath been supported, answereth the man of God and saith, `Lo, Jehovah is making windows in the heavens—shall this thing be?' and he saith, `Lo, thou art seeing it with thine eyes, and thereof thou dost not eat.'
<sup>3</sup> And four men have been leprous, at the opening of the gate, and they say one unto another, `What—we are sitting here till we have died; ⁴ if we have said, We go in to the city, then the famine is in the city, and we have died there; and if we have sat here, then we have died; and now, come and we fall unto the camp of Aram; if they keep us alive, we live, and if they put us to death—we have died.' ⁵ And they rise in the twilight, to go in unto the camp of Aram, and they come in unto the extremity of the camp of Aram, and lo, there is not a man there, ⁶ seeing Jehovah hath caused the camp of Aram to hear a noise of chariot and a noise of horse—a noise of great force, and they say one unto another, `Lo, the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Egypt, to come against us.' ⁷ And they rise and flee in the twilight, and forsake their tents, and their horses, and their asses—the camp as it is —and flee for their life. ⁸ And these lepers come in unto the extremity of the camp, and come in unto one tent, and eat, and drink, and lift up thence silver, and gold, and garments, and go and hide; and they turn back and go in unto another tent, and lift up thence, and go and hide.

¹ And Elisha spake unto the woman whose son he had revived, saying, `Rise and go, thou and thy household, and sojourn where thou dost sojourn, for Jehovah hath called for a famine, and also, it is coming unto the land seven years.' ² And the woman riseth, and doth according to the word of the man of God, and goeth, she and her household, and sojourneth in the land of the Philistines seven years.

¹⁹ Many are the evils of the righteous, Out of them all doth Jehovah deliver him.

³⁴ A fruitful land becometh a barren place, For the wickedness of its inhabitants.

¹ That which hath been the word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah concerning the matters of the dearths:

³³ these things I have spoken to you, that in me ye may have peace, in the world ye shall have tribulation, but take courage—I have overcome the world.'

¹¹ `And there came a dearth upon all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great tribulation, and our fathers were not finding sustenance,

²² confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting to remain in the faith, and that through many tribulations it behoveth us to enter into the reign of God,

¹⁴ And it cometh to pass, at the entering of Abram into Egypt, that the Egyptians see the woman that she is exceeding fair;

⁷ and men of the place ask him of his wife, and he saith, `She is my sister:' for he hath been afraid to say, `My wife—lest the men of the place kill me for Rebekah, for she is of good appearance.'

¹⁷ and the eyes of Leah are tender, and Rachel hath been fair of form and fair of appearance.

⁶ and he leaveth all that he hath in the hand of Joseph, and he hath not known anything that he hath, except the bread which he is eating. And Joseph is of a fair form, and of a fair appearance.
⁷ And it cometh to pass after these things, that his lord's wife lifteth up her eyes unto Joseph, and saith, `Lie with me;'

² and it cometh to pass, at evening-time, that David riseth from off his couch, and walketh up and down on the roof of the king's house, and seeth from the roof a woman bathing, and the woman is of very good appearance,

³⁰ There is no wisdom, nor understanding, Nor counsel, over-against Jehovah.

¹⁴ A cluster of cypress is my beloved to me, In the vineyards of En-Gedi!

¹¹ And Abraham saith, `Because I said, `Surely the fear of God is not in this place, and they have slain me for the sake of my wife;

¹ And David saith unto his heart, `Now am I consumed one day by the hand of Saul; there is nothing for me better than that I diligently escape unto the land of the Philistines, and Saul hath been despairing of me—of seeking me any more in all the border of Israel, and I have escaped out of his hand.'

²⁵ Fear of man causeth a snare, And the confident in Jehovah is set on high.

²⁸ `And be not afraid of those killing the body, and are not able to kill the soul, but fear rather Him who is able both soul and body to destroy in gehenna.

⁸ if we may say—`we have not sin,' ourselves we lead astray, and the truth is not in us; <sup>9</sup> if we may confess our sins, stedfast He is and righteous that He may forgive us the sins, and may cleanse us from every unrighteousness; <sup>10</sup> if we may say—`we have not sinned,' a liar we make Him, and His word is not in us.

²⁹ And Abram and Nahor take to themselves wives; the name of Abram's wife is Sarai, and the name of Nahor's wife is Milcah, daughter of Haran, father of Milcah, and father of Iscah.

² and Abraham saith concerning Sarah his wife, `She is my sister;' and Abimelech king of Gerar sendeth and taketh Sarah.

⁵ hath not he himself said to me, She is my sister! and she, even she herself, said, He is my brother; in the integrity of my heart, and in the innocency of my hands, I have done this.'

¹² and also, truly she is my sister, daughter of my father, only not daughter of my mother, and she becometh my wife; ¹³ and it cometh to pass, when God hath caused me to wander from my father's house, that I say to her, This is thy kindness which thou dost with me: at every place whither we come, say of me, He is my brother.'

³ Trust not in princes—in a son of man, For he hath no deliverance. ⁴ His spirit goeth forth, he returneth to his earth, In that day have his thoughts perished.
⁵ O the happiness of him Who hath the God of Jacob for his help, His hope is on Jehovah his God,

¹¹ And of whom hast thou been afraid, and fearest, That thou liest, and Me hast not remembered? Thou hast not laid it to thy heart, Am not I silent, even from of old? And Me thou fearest not?

⁵ Thus said Jehovah: Cursed is the man who doth trust in man, And hath made flesh his arm, And from Jehovah whose heart turneth. ⁶ And he hath been as a naked thing in a desert, And doth not see when good cometh, And hath inhabited parched places in a wilderness, A salt land, and not inhabited. ⁷ Blessed is the man who trusteth in Jehovah, And whose confidence hath been Jehovah. ⁸ And hath been as a tree planted by waters, And by a rivulet he sendeth forth his roots, And he doth not see when heat cometh, And his leaf hath been green, And in a year of dearth he is not sorrowful, Nor doth he cease from making fruit.

⁴ Lo, all the souls are Mine, As the soul of the father, So also the soul of the son—they are Mine, The soul that is sinning—it doth die.

⁶⁹ And Peter without was sitting in the court, and there came near to him a certain maid, saying, `And thou wast with Jesus of Galilee!' <sup>70</sup> And he denied before all, saying, `I have not known what thou sayest.' ⁷¹ And he having gone forth to the porch, another female saw him, and saith to those there, `And this one was with Jesus of Nazareth;' <sup>72</sup> and again did he deny with an oath—`I have not known the man.' ⁷³ And after a little those standing near having come, said to Peter, `Truly thou also art of them, for even thy speech doth make thee manifest.' <sup>74</sup> Then began he to anathematise, and to swear—`I have not known the man;' and immediately did a cock crow, ⁷⁵ and Peter remembered the saying of Jesus, he having said to him—`Before cock-crowing, thrice thou wilt deny me;' and having gone without, he did weep bitterly.

⁴⁴ `Ye are of a father—the devil, and the desires of your father ye will to do; he was a man-slayer from the beginning, and in the truth he hath not stood, because there is no truth in him; when one may speak the falsehood, of his own he speaketh, because he is a liar—also his father.

⁶ let it not be! since how shall God judge the world? ⁷ for if the truth of God in my falsehood did more abound to His glory, why yet am I also as a sinner judged? ⁸ and not, as we are evil spoken of, and as certain affirm us to say—`We may do the evil things, that the good ones may come?' whose judgment is righteous.

²³ for the wages of the sin is death, and the gift of God is life age-during in Christ Jesus our Lord.

¹² for before the coming of certain from James, with the nations he was eating, and when they came, he was withdrawing and separating himself, fearing those of the circumcision, ¹³ and dissemble with him also did the other Jews, so that also Barnabas was carried away by their dissimulation.

⁶ because of which things cometh the anger of God upon the sons of the disobedience,

⁶ And the woman seeth that the tree is good for food, and that it is pleasant to the eyes, and the tree is desirable to make one wise, and she taketh of its fruit and eateth, and giveth also to her husband with her, and he doth eat;

² and sons of God see the daughters of men that they are fair, and they take to themselves women of all whom they have chosen.

⁷ And it cometh to pass after these things, that his lord's wife lifteth up her eyes unto Joseph, and saith, `Lie with me;'

²⁸ but I—I say to you, that every one who is looking on a woman to desire her, did already commit adultery with her in his heart.

² and Pharaoh is wroth against his two eunuchs, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers,

¹ And it cometh to pass, at the end of two years of days that Pharaoh is dreaming, and lo, he is standing by the River,

⁵ And a daughter of Pharaoh cometh down to bathe at the River, and her damsels are walking by the side of the River, and she seeth the ark in the midst of the weeds, and sendeth her handmaid, and she taketh it,

¹⁵ And Pharaoh heareth of this thing, and seeketh to slay Moses, and Moses fleeth from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelleth in the land of Midian, and dwelleth by the well.

¹ And Solomon joineth in marriage with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and taketh the daughter of Pharaoh, and bringeth her in unto the city of David, till he completeth to build his own house, and the house of Jehovah, and the wall of Jerusalem round about.

²¹ `Now, lo, thou hast trusted for thee on the staff of this broken reed, on Egypt; which a man leaneth on, and it hath gone into his hand, and pierced it! —so is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all those trusting on him.

² and servants of the king, his ministers, say, `Let them seek for the king young women, virgins, of good appearance, ³ and the king doth appoint inspectors in all provinces of his kingdom, and they gather every young woman—virgin, of good appearance—unto Shushan the palace, unto the house of the women, unto the hand of Hege eunuch of the king, keeper of the women, and to give their purifications, ⁴ and the young woman who is good in the eyes of the king doth reign instead of Vashti;' and the thing is good in the eyes of the king, and he doth so. ⁵ A man, a Jew, there hath been in Shushan the palace, and his name is Mordecai son of Jair, son of Shimei, son of Kish, a Benjamite— ⁶ who had been removed from Jerusalem with the removal that was removed with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon removed— ⁷ and he is supporting Hadassah—she is Esther—daughter of his uncle, for she hath neither father nor mother, and the young woman is of fair form, and of good appearance, and at the death of her father and her mother hath Mordecai taken her to him for a daughter. ⁸ And it cometh to pass, in the word of the king, even his law, being heard, and in many young women being gathered unto Shushan the palace, unto the hand of Hegai, that Esther is taken unto the house of the king, unto the hand of Hegai, keeper of the women, ⁹ and the young woman is good in his eyes, and she receiveth kindness before him, and he hasteneth her purifications and her portions—to give to her, and the seven young women who are provided—to give to her, from the house of the king, and he changeth her and her young women to a good place in the house of the women. ¹⁰ Esther hath not declared her people, and her kindred, for Mordecai hath laid a charge on her that she doth not declare it; ¹¹ and during every day Mordecai is walking up and down before the court of the house of the women to know the welfare of Esther, and what is done with her. ¹² And in the drawing nigh of the turn of each young woman to come in unto the king Ahasuerus, at the end of there being to her—according to the law of the women—twelve months, for so they fulfil the days of their purifications; six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with spices, and with the purifications of women, ¹³ and with this the young woman hath come in unto the king, all that she saith is given to her, to go in with her, out of the house of the women, unto the house of the king; ¹⁴ in the evening she hath gone in, and in the morning she hath turned back unto the second house of the women, unto the hand of Shaashgaz eunuch of the king, keeper of the concubines; she cometh not in any more unto the king except the king hath delighted in her, and she hath been called by name. ¹⁵ And in the drawing nigh of the turn of Esther—daughter of Abihail, uncle of Mordecai, whom he had taken to him for a daughter—to come in unto the king, she hath not sought a thing except that which Hegai eunuch of the king, keeper of the women, saith, and Esther is receiving grace in the eyes of all seeing her. ¹⁶ And Esther is taken unto the king Ahasuerus, unto his royal house, in the tenth month—it is the month of Tebeth—in the seventh year of his reign,

⁴ Seek ye Jehovah and His strength, Seek ye His face continually.

²⁹ So is he who hath gone in unto the wife of his neighbour, None who doth touch her is innocent.

¹² A ruler who is attending to lying words, All his ministers are wicked.

¹⁹ Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, And his heads, and all his people,

¹⁷ They have cried there: Pharaoh king of Egypt is a desolation, Passed by hath the appointed time.

² `Son of man, lift up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and thou hast said unto him: A young lion of nations thou hast been like, And thou art as a dragon in the seas, And thou comest forth with thy flowings, And dost trouble the waters with thy feet, And thou dost foul their flowings.

⁴ All of them are adulterers, Like a burning oven of a baker, He ceaseth from stirring up after kneading the dough, till its leavening. ⁵ A day of our king! Princes have polluted themselves with the poison of wine, He hath drawn out his hand with scorners.

⁴ honourable is the marriage in all, and the bed undefiled, and whoremongers and adulterers God shall judge.

² and Abram is exceedingly wealthy in cattle, in silver, and in gold.

¹⁴ And Abimelech taketh sheep and oxen, and servants and handmaids, and giveth to Abraham, and sendeth back to him Sarah his wife;

¹⁴ and he hath possession of a flock, and possession of a herd, and an abundant service; and the Philistines envy him,

⁵ and I have ox, and ass, flock, and man-servant, and maid-servant, and I send to declare to my lord, to find grace in his eyes.'

¹³ And he lodgeth there during that night, and taketh from that which is coming into his hand, a present for Esau his brother: ¹⁴ she-goats two hundred, and he-goats twenty, ewes two hundred, and rams twenty, ¹⁵ suckling camels and their young ones thirty, cows forty, and bullocks ten, she-asses twenty, and foals ten;

³ and his substance is seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred pairs of oxen, and five hundred she-asses, and a service very abundant; and that man is greater than any of the sons of the east.

¹² And Jehovah hath blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning, and he hath fourteen thousand of a flock, and six thousand camels, and a thousand pairs of oxen, and a thousand she-asses.

¹³ Our garners are full, bringing out from kind to kind, Our flocks are bringing forth thousands, Ten thousands in our out-places, ¹⁴ Our oxen are carrying, there is no breach, And there is no outgoing, And there is no crying in our broad places.

¹⁸ for Jehovah restraining had restrained every womb of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah, Abraham's wife.

²¹ He hath not suffered any to oppress them, And reproveth on their account kings:

²² And David saith unto Ornan, `Give to me the place of the threshing-floor, and I build in it an altar to Jehovah; for full silver give it to me, and the plague is restrained from the people.'

¹⁹ That hath not accepted the person of princes, Nor hath known the rich before the poor, For a work of His hands are all of them.

¹⁴ He hath not suffered any to oppress them And He reproveth for their sakes kings. ¹⁵ `Strike not against Mine anointed, And to My prophets do not evil.'

¹³ And Jehovah God saith to the woman, `What is this thou hast done?' and the woman saith, `The serpent hath caused me to forget—and I do eat.'

¹⁰ And He saith, `What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood is crying unto Me from the ground;

⁹ and Abimelech calleth for Abraham, and saith to him, `What hast thou done to us? and what have I sinned against thee, that thou hast brought upon me, and upon my kingdom, a great sin? works which are not done thou hast done with me.' <sup>10</sup> Abimelech also saith unto Abraham, `What hast thou seen that thou hast done this thing?'

⁹ And Abimelech calleth for Isaac, and saith, `Lo, she is surely thy wife; and how hast thou said, She is my sister?' and Isaac saith unto him, `Because I said, Lest I die for her.' ¹⁰ And Abimelech saith, `What is this thou hast done to us? as a little thing one of the people had lain with thy wife, and thou hadst brought upon us guilt;' <sup>11</sup> and Abimelech commandeth all the people, saying, `He who cometh against this man or against his wife, dying doth die.'

²⁶ And Laban saith to Jacob, `What hast thou done that thou dost deceive my heart, and lead away my daughters as captives of the sword?

¹⁵ and Joseph saith to them, `What is this deed that ye have done? have ye not known that a man like me doth diligently observe?'

²¹ And Moses saith unto Aaron, `What hath this people done to thee, that thou hast brought in upon it a great sin?'

¹⁹ And Joshua saith unto Achan, `My son, put, I pray thee, honour on Jehovah, God of Israel, and give to Him thanks, and declare, I pray thee, to me, what thou hast done—hide not from me.'

⁴³ And Saul saith unto Jonathan, `Declare to me, what hast thou done?' and Jonathan declareth to him, and saith, `I certainly tasted with the end of the rod that is in my hand a little honey; lo, I die!'

¹ Rivulets of waters is the heart of a king in the hand of Jehovah, Wherever He pleaseth He inclineth it.

²⁷ And Moses sendeth his father-in-law away, and he goeth away unto his own land.

⁶ And Achish calleth unto David, and saith unto him, `Jehovah liveth, surely thou art upright, and good in mine eyes is thy going out, and thy coming in, with me in the camp, for I have not found in thee evil from the day of thy coming in unto me till this day; and in the eyes of the princes thou art not good; <sup>7</sup> and now, turn back, and go in peace, and thou dost do no evil in the eyes of the princes of the Philistines.' <sup>8</sup> And David saith unto Achish, `But what have I done? and what hast thou found in thy servant from the day that I have been before thee till this day—that I go not in and have fought against the enemies of my lord the king?' ⁹ And Achish answereth and saith unto David, `I have known that thou art good in mine eyes as a messenger of God; only, the princes of the Philistines have said, He doth not go up with us into battle; ¹⁰ and now, rise thou early in the morning, and the servants of thy lord who have come with thee, when ye have risen early in the morning, and have light, then go ye.' ¹¹ And David riseth early, he and his men, to go in the morning, to turn back unto the land of the Philistines, and the Philistines have gone up to Jezreel.
