⁷ Thou hast persuaded me, O Jehovah, and I am persuaded; Thou hast hardened me, and dost prevail, I have been for a laughter all the day, Every one is mocking at me, ⁸ Because from the time I speak I cry out, `Violence and destruction,' I cry, For the word of Jehovah hath been to me For reproach and for derision all the day. <sup>9</sup> And I said, `I do not mention Him, Nor do I speak any more in His name,' And it hath been in my heart As a burning fire shut up in my bones, And I have been weary of containing, And I am not able.

¹⁴ Cursed is the day in which I was born, The day that my mother bare me, Let it not be blessed! ¹⁵ Cursed is the man who bore tidings to my father, saying, `Born to thee hath been a child—a male,' Making him very glad! ¹⁶ Then hath that man been as the cities, That Jehovah overthrew, and repented not, And he hath heard a cry at morning, And a shout at time of noon. ¹⁷ Because he hath not put me to death from the womb, And my mother is to me—my grave, And her womb a pregnancy age-during. ¹⁸ Why is this? from the womb I have come out, To see labour and sorrow, Yea, consumed in shame are my days!

²² The kindnesses of Jehovah! For we have not been consumed, For not ended have His mercies. ²³ New every morning, abundant is thy faithfulness.

³⁹ What—sigh habitually doth a living man, A man for his sin? ⁴⁰ We search our ways, and investigate, And turn back unto Jehovah.

¹⁴ Ye have said, `A vain thing to serve God! And what gain when we kept His charge? And when we have gone in black, Because of Jehovah of Hosts?

²⁸ apart from the things without—the crowding upon me that is daily—the care of all the assemblies.

¹⁵ for the whole of the land which thou are seeing, to thee I give it, and to thy seed—to the age.

¹⁶ and saith, `By Myself I have sworn—the affirmation of Jehovah—that because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only one— ¹⁷ that blessing I bless thee, and multiplying I multiply thy seed as stars of the heavens, and as sand which is on the sea-shore; and thy seed doth possess the gate of his enemies;

³ sojourn in this land, and I am with thee, and bless thee, for to thee and to thy seed I give all these lands, and I have established the oath which I have sworn to Abraham thy father;

²⁴ And Joseph saith unto his brethren, `I am dying, and God doth certainly inspect you, and hath caused you to go up from this land, unto the land which He hath sworn to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.'

⁵ `And it hath been, when Jehovah bringeth thee in unto the land of the Canaanite, and of the Hittite, and of the Amorite, and of the Hivite, and of the Jebusite, which He hath sworn to thy fathers to give to thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that thou hast done this service in this month.

¹¹ As a shepherd His flock He feedeth, With His arm He gathereth lambs, And in His bosom He carrieth them : Suckling ones He leadeth.

¹⁵ Forget doth a woman her suckling, The loved one—the son of her womb? Yea, these forget—but I—I forget not thee.

²³ And kings have been thy nursing fathers, And their princesses thy nursing mothers; Face to the earth—they bow down to thee, And the dust of thy feet they lick up, And thou hast known that I am Jehovah, That those expecting Me are not ashamed.

²³ And have raised up over them one shepherd, And he hath fed them—my servant David, He doth feed them, and he is their shepherd,

¹¹ `I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd his life layeth down for the sheep;

¹⁹ my little children, of whom again I travail in birth, till Christ may be formed in you,

⁷ But we became gentle in your midst, as a nurse may cherish her own children,

³³ And his disciples say to him, `Whence to us, in a wilderness, so many loaves, as to fill so great a multitude?'

⁴ And his disciples answered him, `Whence shall any one be able these here to feed with bread in a wilderness?'

²³ And Jesus said to him, `If thou art able to believe! all things are possible to the one that is believing;'

⁵ Jesus then having lifted up his eyes and having seen that a great multitude doth come to him, saith unto Philip, `Whence shall we buy loaves, that these may eat?' — <sup>6</sup> and this he said, trying him, for he himself had known what he was about to do. <sup>7</sup> Philip answered him, `Two hundred denaries' worth of loaves are not sufficient to them, that each of them may receive some little;' ⁸ one of his disciples—Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter—saith to him, ⁹ `There is one little lad here who hath five barley loaves, and two fishes, but these—what are they to so many?'

¹⁸ thou dost surely wear away, both thou, and this people which is with thee, for the thing is too heavy for thee, thou art not able to do it by thyself.

⁹ `And I speak unto you at that time, saying, I am not able by myself to bear you; <sup>10</sup> Jehovah your God hath multiplied you, and lo, ye are to-day as the stars of the heavens for multitude; <sup>11</sup> Jehovah, God of your fathers, is adding to you, as ye are, a thousand times, and doth bless you as He hath spoken to you. <sup>12</sup> `How do I bear by myself your pressure, and your burden, and your strife?

¹⁹ Then Thou hast spoken in vision, To Thy saint, yea, Thou sayest, I have placed help upon a mighty one, Exalted a chosen one out of the people,

⁶ For a Child hath been born to us, A Son hath been given to us, And the princely power is on his shoulder, And He doth call his name Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace.

¹³ Yea, he doth build the temple of Jehovah, And he doth bear away honour, And he hath sat and ruled on His throne, And hath been a priest on His throne, And a counsel of peace is between both.

¹⁶ to the one, indeed, a fragrance of death to death, and to the other, a fragrance of life to life; and for these things who is sufficient?

³² and now, if Thou takest away their sin—and if not—blot me, I pray thee, out of Thy book which Thou hast written.'

⁴ and he himself hath gone into the wilderness a day's Journey, and cometh and sitteth under a certain retem-tree, and desireth his soul to die, and saith, `Enough, now, O Jehovah, take my soul, for I am not better than my fathers.'

²⁰ Why giveth He to the miserable light, and life to the bitter soul? ²¹ Who are waiting for death, and it is not, And they seek it above hid treasures. ²² Who are glad—unto joy, They rejoice when they find a grave.

⁸ O that my request may come, That God may grant my hope! ⁹ That God would please—and bruise me, Loose His hand and cut me off! ¹⁰ And yet it is my comfort, (And I exult in pain—He doth not spare,) That I have not hidden The sayings of the Holy One.

¹⁵ And my soul chooseth strangling, Death rather than my bones.

¹⁸ Why is this? from the womb I have come out, To see labour and sorrow, Yea, consumed in shame are my days!

³ And now, O Jehovah, take, I pray Thee, my soul from me, for better is my death than my life.'

⁸ And it cometh to pass, about the rising of the sun, that God appointeth a cutting east wind, and the sun smiteth on the head of Jonah, and he wrappeth himself up, and asketh his soul to die, and saith, `Better is my death than my life.' <sup>9</sup> And God saith unto Jonah: `Is doing good displeasing to thee, because of the gourd?' and he saith, `To do good is displeasing to me—unto death.'

¹⁵ Jehovah hath turned aside thy judgments, He hath faced thine enemy, The king of Israel, Jehovah, is in thy midst, Thou seest evil no more.

²⁰ according to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, and in all freedom, as always, also now Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether through life or through death,
²¹ for to me to live is Christ, and to die gain. ²² And if to live in the flesh is to me a fruit of work, then what shall I choose? I know not; ²³ for I am pressed by the two, having the desire to depart, and to be with Christ, for it is far better, ²⁴ and to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account,

⁴ and let the endurance have a perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire—in nothing lacking;

²⁷ And the sons of Joseph who have been born to him in Egypt are two persons. All the persons of the house of Jacob who are coming into Egypt are seventy.

²⁹ And Moses goeth—Aaron also—and they gather all the elders of the sons of Israel,

¹ And unto Moses He said, `Come up unto Jehovah, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, and ye have bowed yourselves afar off;'

⁹ And Moses goeth up, Aaron also, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel,

¹⁵ `And I take the heads of your tribes, men, wise and known, and I appoint them heads over you, princes of thousands, and princes of hundreds, and princes of fifties, and princes of tens, and authorities, for your tribes.

¹⁸ `Judges and authorities thou dost make to thee within all thy gates which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee, for thy tribes; and they have judged the people—a righteous judgment.

²⁸ `Assemble unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your authorities, and I speak in their ears these words, and cause to testify against them the heavens and the earth,

¹¹ and seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel—and Jaazaniah son of Shaphan standing in their midst—are standing before them, and each his censer in his hand, and the abundance of the cloud of perfume is going up.

¹ And after these things, the Lord did appoint also other seventy, and sent them by twos before his face, to every city and place whither he himself was about to come,

¹⁷ And the seventy turned back with joy, saying, `Sir, and the demons are being subjected to us in thy name;'

⁵ And Jehovah cometh down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men have builded;

³ And Abram falleth upon his face, and God speaketh with him, saying,

²² and He finisheth speaking with him, and God goeth up from Abraham.

²⁰ And Jehovah saith, `The cry of Sodom and Gomorrah—because great; and their sin—because exceeding grievous: ²¹ I go down now, and see whether according to its cry which is coming unto Me they have done completely—and if not—I know;' ²² and the men turn from thence, and go towards Sodom; and Abraham is yet standing before Jehovah.

³³ And Jehovah goeth on, when He hath finished speaking unto Abraham, and Abraham hath turned back to his place.

²² and they have judged the people at all times; and it hath come to pass, every great matter they bring in unto thee, and every small matter they judge themselves; and lighten it from off thyself, and they have borne with thee.

¹¹ and have been prepared for the third day; for on the third day doth Jehovah come down before the eyes of all the people, on mount Sinai.

²⁰ And Jehovah cometh down on mount Sinai, unto the top of the mount, and Jehovah calleth for Moses unto the top of the mount, and Moses goeth up.

⁵ And Jehovah cometh down in a cloud, and stationeth Himself with him there, and calleth in the Name of Jehovah,

²⁵ and Jehovah cometh down in the cloud, and speaketh unto him, and keepeth back of the Spirit which is on him, and putteth on the seventy men of the elders; and it cometh to pass at the resting of the Spirit on them, that they prophesy, and do not cease.

⁵ And Jehovah cometh down in the pillar of the cloud, and standeth at the opening of the tent, and calleth Aaron and Miriam, and they come out both of them.

⁸ mouth unto mouth I speak with him, and by an appearance, and not in riddles; and the form of Jehovah he beholdeth attentively; and wherefore have ye not been afraid to speak against My servant—against Moses?'

¹⁸ And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Take to thee Joshua son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and thou hast laid thine hand upon him,

⁶ and prospered over thee hath the Spirit of Jehovah, and thou hast prophesied with them, and hast been turned to another man;

⁹ And it cometh to pass, at their passing over, that Elijah hath said unto Elisha, `Ask, what do I do for thee before I am taken from thee?' and Elisha saith, `Then let there be, I pray thee, a double portion of thy spirit unto me;'

¹⁵ And they see him—the sons of the prophets who are in Jericho—over-against, and they say, `Rested hath the spirit of Elijah on Elisha;' and they come to meet him, and bow themselves to him to the earth,

²⁰ `And Thy good Spirit Thou hast given, to cause them to act wisely; and Thy manna Thou hast not withheld from their mouth, and water Thou hast given to them for their thirst,

³ For I pour waters on a thirsty one, And floods on a dry land, I pour My Spirit on thy seed, And My blessing on thine offspring.

²⁰ And come to Zion hath a redeemer, Even to captives of transgression in Jacob, An affirmation of Jehovah. ²¹ And I—this is My covenant with them, said Jehovah, My Spirit that is on thee, And My words that I have put in thy mouth, Depart not from thy mouth, And from the mouth of thy seed, And from the mouth of thy seed's seed, said Jehovah, From henceforth unto the age!

²⁸ And it hath come to pass afterwards, I do pour out My Spirit on all flesh, And prophesied have your sons and your daughters, Your old men do dream dreams, Your young men do see visions.

¹³ and no one hath gone up to the heaven, except he who out of the heaven came down—the Son of Man who is in the heaven.

³⁹ and this he said of the Spirit, which those believing in him were about to receive; for not yet was the Holy Spirit, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

³ look out, therefore, brethren, seven men of you who are well testified of, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may set over this necessity, ⁴ and we to prayer, and to the ministration of the word, will give ourselves continually.'

⁹ And ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God doth dwell in you; and if any one hath not the Spirit of Christ—this one is not His;

¹² And we the spirit of the world did not receive, but the Spirit that is of God, that we may know the things conferred by God on us,

⁴ And there are diversities of gifts, and the same Spirit; ⁵ and there are diversities of ministrations, and the same Lord; ⁶ and there are diversities of workings, and it is the same God—who is working the all in all. ⁷ And to each hath been given the manifestation of the Spirit for profit; ⁸ for to one through the Spirit hath been given a word of wisdom, and to another a word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit; ⁹ and to another faith in the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healings in the same Spirit; ¹⁰ and to another in-workings of mighty deeds; and to another prophecy; and to another discernings of spirits; and to another divers kinds of tongues; and to another interpretation of tongues: ¹¹ and all these doth work the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each severally as he intendeth.

⁸ he, therefore, who is despising—doth not despise man, but God, who also did give His Holy Spirit to us.

²² Your souls having purified in the obedience of the truth through the Spirit to brotherly love unfeigned, out of a pure heart one another love ye earnestly,

¹⁹ these are those setting themselves apart, natural men, the Spirit not having.

² And Jacob saith unto his household, and unto all who are with him, `Turn aside the gods of the stranger which are in your midst, and cleanse yourselves, and change your garments;

³ and the sons of Israel say unto them, `Oh that we had died by the hand of Jehovah in the land of Egypt, in our sitting by the flesh-pot, in our eating bread to satiety—for ye have brought us out unto this wilderness to put all this assembly to death with hunger.' <sup>4</sup> And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Lo, I am raining to you bread from the heavens—and the people have gone out and gathered the matter of a day in its day—so that I try them whether they walk in My law, or not; ⁵ and it hath been on the sixth day, that they have prepared that which they bring in, and it hath been double above that which they gather day by day.' ⁶ And Moses saith—Aaron also—unto all the sons of Israel, `Evening—and ye have known that Jehovah hath brought you out from the land of Egypt; ⁷ and morning—and ye have seen the honour of Jehovah, in His hearing your murmurings against Jehovah, and what are we, that ye murmur against us?'

¹⁰ And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Go unto the people; and thou hast sanctified them to-day and to-morrow, and they have washed their garments,

¹⁵ and he saith unto the people, `Be ye prepared for the third day, come not nigh unto a woman.'

⁴ And the rabble who are in its midst have lusted greatly, and the sons of Israel also turn back and weep, and say, `Who doth give us flesh? ⁵ We have remembered the fish which we do eat in Egypt for nought, the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick; ⁶ and now our soul is dry, there is not anything, save the manna, before our eyes.'

² and all the sons of Israel murmur against Moses, and against Aaron, and all the company say unto them, `O that we had died in the land of Egypt, or in this wilderness, O that we had died! ³ and why is Jehovah bringing us in unto this land to fall by the sword? our wives and our infants are become a prey; is it not good for us to turn back to Egypt?'

¹³ `Rise, sanctify the people, and thou hast said, Sanctify yourselves for to-morrow; for thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, A devoted thing is in thy midst, O Israel, thou art not able to stand before thine enemies till your turning aside of the devoted thing out of your midst;

² And the people come in to Beth-El, and sit there till the evening before God, and lift up their voice, and weep—a great weeping,

³⁹ to whom our fathers did not wish to become obedient, but did thrust away, and turned back in their hearts to Egypt,

⁸ And Moses saith, `In Jehovah's giving to you in the evening flesh to eat, and bread in the morning to satiety—in Jehovah's hearing your murmurings, which ye are murmuring against Him, and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against Jehovah.'

¹³ And it cometh to pass in the evening, that the quail cometh up, and covereth the camp, and in the morning there hath been the lying of dew round about the camp,

²⁷ And Joshua saith unto all the people, `Lo, this stone is against us for a witness, for it hath heard all the sayings of Jehovah which He hath spoken with us, and it hath been against you for a witness, lest ye lie against your God.'

³⁰ `Therefore—the affirmation of Jehovah, God of Israel—I certainly said, Thy house and the house of thy father, do walk up and down before Me to the age; and now—the affirmation of Jehovah—Far be it from Me! for he who is honouring Me, I honour, and those despising Me, are lightly esteemed.

¹⁹ and ye to-day have rejected your God, who is Himself your saviour out of all your evils and your distresses, and ye say, `Nay, but—a king thou dost set over us; and now, station yourselves before Jehovah, by your tribes, and by your thousands.'

¹⁰ `And now, the sword doth not turn aside from thy house unto the age, because thou hast despised Me, and dost take the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be to thee for a wife;

²⁷ And He raineth on them flesh as dust, And as sand of the seas—winged fowl, ²⁸ And causeth it to fall in the midst of His camp, Round about His tabernacles. ²⁹ And they eat, and are greatly satisfied, And their desire He bringeth to them. ³⁰ They have not been estranged from their desire, Yet is their food in their mouth,

¹⁵ And He giveth to them their request, And sendeth leanness into their soul.

⁷ A satiated soul treadeth down a honeycomb, And to a hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.

⁶ A son honoureth a father, and a servant his master. And if I am a father, where is Mine honour? And if I am a master, where is My fear? Said Jehovah of Hosts to you, O priests, despising My name! And ye have said: `In what have we despised Thy name?'

⁴¹ See, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish, because a work I—I do work in your days, a work in which ye may not believe, though any one may declare it to you.'

² And I make thee become a great nation, and bless thee, and make thy name great; and be thou a blessing.

³⁷ And the sons of Israel journey from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, apart from infants;

²⁶ a bekah for a poll (half a shekel, by the shekel of the sanctuary,) for every one who is passing over unto those numbered, from a son of twenty years and upwards, for six hundred thousand, and three thousand, and five hundred and fifty.

⁴⁶ yea, all those numbered are six hundred thousand, and three thousand, and five hundred and fifty.

³² These are those numbered of the sons of Israel by the house of their fathers; all those numbered of the camps by their hosts are six hundred thousand, and three thousand, and five hundred and fifty.

² 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.'

³⁷ And he answering said to them, `Give ye them to eat,' and they say to him, `Having gone away, may we buy two hundred denaries' worth of loaves, and give to them to eat?'

¹⁸ And Zacharias said unto the messenger, `Whereby shall I know this? for I am aged, and my wife is advanced in her days?'

³⁴ And Mary said unto the messenger, `How shall this be, seeing a husband I do not know?'

⁶ and this he said, trying him, for he himself had known what he was about to do. ⁷ Philip answered him, `Two hundred denaries' worth of loaves are not sufficient to them, that each of them may receive some little;'

⁹ `There is one little lad here who hath five barley loaves, and two fishes, but these—what are they to so many?'

¹⁴ And Jehovah saith unto Abraham, `Why is this? Sarah hath laughed, saying, Is it true really—I bear—and I am aged? Is any thing too wonderful for Jehovah? at the appointed time I return unto thee, about the time of life, and Sarah hath a son.'

¹⁹ God is not a man—and lieth, And a son of man—and repenteth! Hath He said—and doth He not do it ? And spoken—and doth He not confirm it?

¹⁷ And the king hath appointed the captain, by whose hand he is supported, over the gate, and the people tread him down in the gate, and he dieth, as the man of God spake, which he spake in the coming down of the king unto him, ¹⁸ yea, it cometh to pass, according to the speaking of the man of God unto the king, saying, `Two measures of barley at a shekel, and a measure of fine flour at a shekel are, at this time to-morrow, in the gate of Samaria;' <sup>19</sup> and the captain answereth the man of God, and saith, `And lo, Jehovah is making windows in the heavens—it is according to this word?' and he saith, `Lo, thou art seeing with thine eyes, and thereof thou dost not eat;'

⁴¹ Yea, they turn back, and try God, And the Holy One of Israel have limited.

² Wherefore have I come, and there is no one? I called, and there is none answering, Hath My hand been at all short of redemption? And is there not in me power to deliver? Lo, by My rebuke I dry up a sea, I make rivers a wilderness, Their fish stinketh, for there is no water, And dieth with thirst.

¹ Lo, the hand of Jehovah Hath not been shortened from saving, Nor heavy his ear from hearing.

²⁸ `And the escaped of the sword turn back out of the land of Egypt to the land of Judah, few in number, and known have all the remnant of Judah who are coming into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, whose word is established, Mine or theirs. <sup>29</sup> `And this is to you the sign—an affirmation of Jehovah—that I am seeing after you in this place, so that ye know that My words are certainly established against you for evil;

²⁵ For I am Jehovah, I speak, The word that I speak—it is done, It is not prolonged any more, For, in your days, O rebellious house, I speak a word, and I have done it, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.'

¹⁴ I, Jehovah, hath spoken, It hath come, and I have done it, I do not free, nor do I spare, nor do I repent, According to thy ways, and according to thine acts, they have judged thee, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.'

⁷ Doth the house of Jacob say, `Hath the Spirit of Jehovah been shortened? Are these His doings?' Do not My words benefit the people that is walking uprightly?

²⁶ And Jesus having earnestly beheld, said to them, `With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.'

³⁵ The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

³⁷ because nothing shall be impossible with God.'

¹⁶ And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Gather to Me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou hast known that they are elders of the people, and its authorities; and thou hast taken them unto the tent of meeting, and they have stationed themselves there with thee,

²⁶ And two of the men are left in the camp, the name of the one is Eldad, and the name of the second Medad, and the spirit resteth upon them, (and they are among those written, and have not gone out to the tent), and they prophesy in the camp;

³⁸ for the cloud of Jehovah is on the tabernacle by day, and fire is in it by night, before the eyes of all the house of Israel in all their journeys.

¹⁷ and I have come down and spoken with thee there, and have kept back of the Spirit which is upon thee, and have put on them, and they have borne with thee some of the burden of the people, and thou dost not bear it thyself alone.

⁵ `Afterwards thou dost come unto the hill of God, where the garrison of the Philistines is, and it cometh to pass, at thy coming in thither to the city, that thou hast met a band of prophets coming down from the high place, and before them psaltery, and tabret, and pipe, and harp, and they are prophesying; ⁶ and prospered over thee hath the Spirit of Jehovah, and thou hast prophesied with them, and hast been turned to another man;

¹⁰ and they come in thither to the height, and lo, a band of prophets—to meet him, and prosper over him doth the Spirit of God, and he prophesieth in their midst.

²⁰ And Saul sendeth messengers to take David, and they see the assembly of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing, set over them, and the Spirit of God is on Saul's messengers, and they prophesy—they also. ²¹ And they declare it to Saul, and he sendeth other messengers, and they prophesy—they also; and Saul addeth and sendeth messengers a third time, and they prophesy—they also. ²² And he goeth—he also—to Ramath, and cometh in unto the great well which is in Sechu, and asketh, and saith, `Where are Samuel and David?' and one saith, `Lo, in Naioth in Ramah.' ²³ And he goeth thither—unto Naioth in Ramah, and the Spirit of God is upon him—him also; and he goeth, going on, and he prophesieth till his coming in to Naioth in Ramah, ²⁴ and he strippeth off—he also—his garments, and prophesieth—he also—before Samuel, and falleth down naked all that day and all the night; therefore they say, `Is Saul also among the prophets?'

⁷ In a pillar of cloud He speaketh unto them, They have kept His testimonies, And the statute He hath given to them.

⁵ And Jeremiah commandeth Baruch, saying, `I am restrained, I am not able to enter the house of Jehovah; ⁶ but thou hast entered—and thou hast read in the roll that thou hast written from my mouth, the words of Jehovah, in the ears of the people, in the house of Jehovah, in the day of the fast, and also in the ears of all Judah who are coming in from their cities thou dost read them;

²⁸ And it hath come to pass afterwards, I do pour out My Spirit on all flesh, And prophesied have your sons and your daughters, Your old men do dream dreams, Your young men do see visions. ²⁹ And also on the men-servants, and on the maid-servants, In those days I do pour out My Spirit.

³⁴ and as he was speaking these things, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them, and they feared in their entering into the cloud, ³⁵ and a voice came out of the cloud saying, `This is My Son—the Beloved; hear ye him;'

¹⁷ And it shall be in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of My Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams; ¹⁸ and also upon My men-servants, and upon My maid-servants, in those days, I will pour out of My Spirit, and they shall prophesy;

²⁸ and one of them, by name Agabus, having stood up, did signify through the Spirit a great dearth is about to be throughout all the world—which also came to pass in the time of Claudius Caesar—

⁹ and this one had four daughters, virgins, prophesying. ¹⁰ And we remaining many more days, there came down a certain one from Judea, a prophet, by name Agabus, ¹¹ and he having come unto us, and having taken up the girdle of Paul, having bound also his own hands and feet, said, `Thus saith the Holy Spirit, The man whose is this girdle—so shall the Jews in Jerusalem bind, and they shall deliver him up to the hands of nations.'

⁴ Every man praying or prophesying, having the head covered, doth dishonour his head, ⁵ and every woman praying or prophesying with the head uncovered, doth dishonour her own head, for it is one and the same thing with her being shaven,

¹ Pursue the love, and seek earnestly the spiritual things, and rather that ye may prophecy, ² for he who is speaking in an unknown tongue—to men he doth not speak, but to God, for no one doth hearken, and in spirit he doth speak secrets; ³ and he who is prophesying to men doth speak edification, and exhortation, and comfort;

³² and the spiritual gift of prophets to prophets are subject,

¹⁷ every good giving, and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the lights, with whom is no variation, or shadow of turning;

²¹ for not by will of man did ever prophecy come, but by the Holy Spirit borne on holy men of God spake.

¹¹ And Moses saith unto God, `Who am I, that I go unto Pharaoh, and that I bring out the sons of Israel from Egypt?'

¹³ and he saith, `O, my Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand Thou dost send.' <sup>14</sup> And the anger of Jehovah burneth against Moses, and He saith, `Is not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I have known that he speaketh well, and also, lo, he is coming out to meet thee; when he hath seen thee, then he hath rejoiced in his heart,

²² And they ask again at Jehovah, `Hath the man yet come hither?' and Jehovah saith, `Lo, he hath been hidden near the vessels.'

²⁶ And Saul hath not spoken anything on that day, for he said, `It is an accident; he is not clean—surely not clean.'

⁶ And I say, `Ah, Lord Jehovah! lo, I have not known—to speak, for I am a youth.'

⁵ And Jeremiah commandeth Baruch, saying, `I am restrained, I am not able to enter the house of Jehovah;

⁹ and Moses saith unto Joshua, `Choose for us men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to-morrow I am standing on the top of the hill, and the rod of God in my hand.'
