sound of thy harps shall be no more heard.
26:026:014 And I will make thee like the top of a rock: thou shalt be a
place to spread nets upon; thou shalt be built no more: for I the LORD
have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
26:026:015 Thus saith the Lord GOD to Tyrus; Shall not the isles shake
at the sound of thy fall, when the wounded cry, when the slaughter is
made in the midst of thee?
26:026:016 Then all the princes of the sea shall come down from their
thrones, and lay away their robes, and put off their broidered
garments: they shall clothe themselves with trembling; they shall sit
upon the ground, and shall tremble at every moment, and be astonished
at thee.
26:026:017 And they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and say to
thee, How art thou destroyed, that wast inhabited of seafaring men, the
renowned city, which wast strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants,
which cause their terror to be on all that haunt it!
26:026:018 Now shall the isles tremble in the day of thy fall; yea, the
isles that are in the sea shall be troubled at thy departure.
26:026:019 For thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall make thee a
desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited; when I shall
bring up the deep upon thee, and great waters shall cover thee;
26:026:020 When I shall bring thee down with them that descend into the
pit, with the people of old time, and shall set thee in the low parts
of the earth, in places desolate of old, with them that go down to the
pit, that thou be not inhabited; and I shall set glory in the land of
the living;
26:026:021 I will make thee a terror, and thou shalt be no more: though
thou be sought for, yet shalt thou never be found again, saith the Lord
GOD.
26:027:001 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
26:027:002 Now, thou son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyrus;
26:027:003 And say unto Tyrus, O thou that art situate at the entry of
the sea, which art a merchant of the people for many isles, Thus saith
the Lord GOD; O Tyrus, thou hast said, I am of perfect beauty.
26:027:004 Thy borders are in the midst of the seas, thy builders have
perfected thy beauty.
26:027:005 They have made all thy ship boards of fir trees of Senir:
they have taken cedars from Lebanon to make masts for thee.
26:027:006 Of the oaks of Bashan have they made thine oars; the company
of the Ashurites have made thy benches of ivory, brought out of the
isles of Chittim.
26:027:007 Fine linen with broidered work from Egypt was that which
thou spreadest forth to be thy sail; blue and purple from the isles of
Elishah was that which covered thee.
26:027:008 The inhabitants of Zidon and Arvad were thy mariners: thy
wise men, O Tyrus, that were in thee, were thy pilots.
26:027:009 The ancients of Gebal and the wise men thereof were in thee
thy calkers: all the ships of the sea with their mariners were in thee
to occupy thy merchandise.
26:027:010 They of Persia and of Lud and of Phut were in thine army,
thy men of war: they hanged the shield and helmet in thee; they set
forth thy comeliness.
26:027:011 The men of Arvad with thine army were upon thy walls round
about, and the Gammadims were in thy towers: they hanged their shields
upon thy walls round about; they have made thy beauty perfect.
26:027:012 Tarshish was thy merchant by reason of the multitude of all
kind of riches; with silver, iron, tin, and lead, they traded in thy
fairs.
26:027:013 Javan, Tubal, and Meshech, they were thy merchants: they
traded the persons of men and vessels of brass in thy market.
26:027:014 They of the house of Togarmah traded in thy fairs with
horses and horsemen and mules.
26:027:015 The men of Dedan were thy merchants; many isles were the
merchandise of thine hand: they brought thee for a present horns of
ivory and ebony.
26:027:016 Syria was thy merchant by reason of the multitude of the
wares of thy making: they occupied in thy fairs with emeralds, purple,
and broidered work, and fine linen, and coral, and agate.
26:027:017 Judah, and the land of Israel, they were thy merchants: they
traded in thy market wheat of Minnith, and Pannag, and honey, and oil,
and balm.
26:027:018 Damascus was thy merchant in the multitude of the wares of
thy making, for the multitude of all riches; in the wine of Helbon, and
white wool.
26:027:019 Dan also and Javan going to and fro occupied in thy fairs:
bright iron, cassia, and calamus, were in thy market.
26:027:020 Dedan was thy merchant in precious clothes for chariots.
26:027:021 Arabia, and all the princes of Kedar, they occupied with
thee in lambs, and rams, and goats: in these were they thy merchants.
26:027:022 The merchants of Sheba and Raamah, they were thy merchants:
they occupied in thy fairs with chief of all spices, and with all
precious stones, and gold.
26:027:023 Haran, and Canneh, and Eden, the merchants of Sheba, Asshur,
and Chilmad, were thy merchants.
26:027:024 These were thy merchants in all sorts of things, in blue
clothes, and broidered work, and in chests of rich apparel, bound with
cords, and made of cedar, among thy merchandise.
26:027:025 The ships of Tarshish did sing of thee in thy market: and
thou wast replenished, and made very glorious in the midst of the seas.
26:027:026 Thy rowers have brought thee into great waters: the east
wind hath broken thee in the midst of the seas.
26:027:027 Thy riches, and thy fairs, thy merchandise, thy mariners,
and thy pilots, thy calkers, and the occupiers of thy merchandise, and
all thy men of war, that are in thee, and in all thy company which is
in the midst of thee, shall fall into the midst of the seas in the day
of thy ruin.
26:027:028 The suburbs shall shake at the sound of the cry of thy
pilots.
26:027:029 And all that handle the oar, the mariners, and all the
pilots of the sea, shall come down from their ships, they shall stand
upon the land;
26:027:030 And shall cause their voice to be heard against thee, and
shall cry bitterly, and shall cast up dust upon their heads, they shall
wallow themselves in the ashes:
26:027:031 And they shall make themselves utterly bald for thee, and
gird them with sackcloth, and they shall weep for thee with bitterness
of heart and bitter wailing.
26:027:032 And in their wailing they shall take up a lamentation for
thee, and lament over thee, saying, What city is like Tyrus, like the
destroyed in the midst of the sea?
26:027:033 When thy wares went forth out of the seas, thou filledst
many people; thou didst enrich the kings of the earth with the
multitude of thy riches and of thy merchandise.
26:027:034 In the time when thou shalt be broken by the seas in the
depths of the waters thy merchandise and all thy company in the midst
of thee shall fall.
26:027:035 All the inhabitants of the isles shall be astonished at
thee, and their kings shall be sore afraid, they shall be troubled in
their countenance.
26:027:036 The merchants among the people shall hiss at thee; thou
shalt be a terror, and never shalt be any more.
26:028:001 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
26:028:002 Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the
Lord GOD; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a
God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a
man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:
26:028:003 Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that
they can hide from thee:
26:028:004 With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast
gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures:
26:028:005 By thy great wisdom and by thy traffick hast thou increased
thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches:
26:028:006 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast set
thine heart as the heart of God;
26:028:007 Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the
terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the
beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness.
26:028:008 They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die
the deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas.
26:028:009 Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God?
but thou shalt be a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth
thee.
26:028:010 Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand
of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
26:028:011 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
26:028:012 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus,
and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum,
full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
26:028:013 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious
stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl,
the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle,
and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared
in thee in the day that thou wast created.
26:028:014 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set
thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up
and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
26:028:015 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast
created, till iniquity was found in thee.
26:028:016 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the
midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will
cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy
thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
26:028:017 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast
corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to
the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.
26:028:018 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine
iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring
forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will
bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold
thee.
26:028:019 All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished
at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.
26:028:020 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
26:028:021 Son of man, set thy face against Zidon, and prophesy against
it,
26:028:022 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee,
O Zidon; and I will be glorified in the midst of thee: and they shall
know that I am the LORD, when I shall have executed judgments in her,
and shall be sanctified in her.
26:028:023 For I will send into her pestilence, and blood into her
streets; and the wounded shall be judged in the midst of her by the
sword upon her on every side; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
26:028:024 And there shall be no more a pricking brier unto the house
of Israel, nor any grieving thorn of all that are round about them,
that despised them; and they shall know that I am the Lord GOD.
26:028:025 Thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall have gathered the
house of Israel from the people among whom they are scattered, and
shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen, then shall
they dwell in their land that I have given to my servant Jacob.
26:028:026 And they shall dwell safely therein, and shall build houses,
and plant vineyards; yea, they shall dwell with confidence, when I have
executed judgments upon all those that despise them round about them;
and they shall know that I am the LORD their God.
26:029:001 In the tenth year, in the tenth month, in the twelfth day of
the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
26:029:002 Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and
prophesy against him, and against all Egypt:
26:029:003 Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am
against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that lieth in the
midst of his rivers, which hath said, My river is mine own, and I have
made it for myself.
26:029:004 But I will put hooks in thy jaws, and I will cause the fish
of thy rivers to stick unto thy scales, and I will bring thee up out of
the midst of thy rivers, and all the fish of thy rivers shall stick
unto thy scales.
26:029:005 And I will leave thee thrown into the wilderness, thee and
all the fish of thy rivers: thou shalt fall upon the open fields; thou
shalt not be brought together, nor gathered: I have given thee for meat
to the beasts of the field and to the fowls of the heaven.
26:029:006 And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the
LORD, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel.
26:029:007 When they took hold of thee by thy hand, thou didst break,
and rend all their shoulder: and when they leaned upon thee, thou
brakest, and madest all their loins to be at a stand.
26:029:008 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring a
sword upon thee, and cut off man and beast out of thee.
26:029:009 And the land of Egypt shall be desolate and waste; and they
shall know that I am the LORD: because he hath said, The river is mine,
and I have made it.
26:029:010 Behold, therefore I am against thee, and against thy rivers,
and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from the
tower of Syene even unto the border of Ethiopia.
26:029:011 No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of beast
shall pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years.
26:029:012 And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of
the countries that are desolate, and her cities among the cities that
are laid waste shall be desolate forty years: and I will scatter the
Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the
countries.
26:029:013 Yet thus saith the Lord GOD; At the end of forty years will
I gather the Egyptians from the people whither they were scattered:
26:029:014 And I will bring again the captivity of Egypt, and will
cause them to return into the land of Pathros, into the land of their
habitation; and they shall be there a base kingdom.
26:029:015 It shall be the basest of the kingdoms; neither shall it
exalt itself any more above the nations: for I will diminish them, that
they shall no more rule over the nations.
26:029:016 And it shall be no more the confidence of the house of
Israel, which bringeth their iniquity to remembrance, when they shall
look after them: but they shall know that I am the Lord GOD.
26:029:017 And it came to pass in the seven and twentieth year, in the
first month, in the first day of the month, the word of the LORD came
unto me, saying,
26:029:018 Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his army
to serve a great service against Tyrus: every head was made bald, and
every shoulder was peeled: yet had he no wages, nor his army, for
Tyrus, for the service that he had served against it:
26:029:019 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will give the
land of Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall take
her multitude, and take her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be
the wages for his army.
26:029:020 I have given him the land of Egypt for his labour wherewith
he served against it, because they wrought for me, saith the Lord GOD.
26:029:021 In that day will I cause the horn of the house of Israel to
bud forth, and I will give thee the opening of the mouth in the midst
of them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
26:030:001 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
26:030:002 Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Howl
ye, Woe worth the day!
26:030:003 For the day is near, even the day of the LORD is near, a
cloudy day; it shall be the time of the heathen.
26:030:004 And the sword shall come upon Egypt, and great pain shall be
in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt, and they shall take
away her multitude, and her foundations shall be broken down.
26:030:005 Ethiopia, and Libya, and Lydia, and all the mingled people,
and Chub, and the men of the land that is in league, shall fall with
them by the sword.
26:030:006 Thus saith the LORD; They also that uphold Egypt shall fall;
and the pride of her power shall come down: from the tower of Syene
shall they fall in it by the sword, saith the Lord GOD.
26:030:007 And they shall be desolate in the midst of the countries
that are desolate, and her cities shall be in the midst of the cities
that are wasted.
26:030:008 And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I have set a
fire in Egypt, and when all her helpers shall be destroyed.
26:030:009 In that day shall messengers go forth from me in ships to
make the careless Ethiopians afraid, and great pain shall come upon
them, as in the day of Egypt: for, lo, it cometh.
26:030:010 Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also make the multitude of
Egypt to cease by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon.
26:030:011 He and his people with him, the terrible of the nations,
shall be brought to destroy the land: and they shall draw their swords
against Egypt, and fill the land with the slain.
26:030:012 And I will make the rivers dry, and sell the land into the
hand of the wicked: and I will make the land waste, and all that is
therein, by the hand of strangers: I the LORD have spoken it.
26:030:013 Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also destroy the idols, and
I will cause their images to cease out of Noph; and there shall be no
more a prince of the land of Egypt: and I will put a fear in the land
of Egypt.
26:030:014 And I will make Pathros desolate, and will set fire in Zoan,
and will execute judgments in No.
26:030:015 And I will pour my fury upon Sin, the strength of Egypt; and
I will cut off the multitude of No.
26:030:016 And I will set fire in Egypt: Sin shall have great pain, and
No shall be rent asunder, and Noph shall have distresses daily.
26:030:017 The young men of Aven and of Pibeseth shall fall by the
sword: and these cities shall go into captivity.
26:030:018 At Tehaphnehes also the day shall be darkened, when I shall
break there the yokes of Egypt: and the pomp of her strength shall
cease in her: as for her, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters
shall go into captivity.
26:030:019 Thus will I execute judgments in Egypt: and they shall know
that I am the LORD.
26:030:020 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first
month, in the seventh day of the month, that the word of the LORD came
unto me, saying,
26:030:021 Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt;
and, lo, it shall not be bound up to be healed, to put a roller to bind
it, to make it strong to hold the sword.
26:030:022 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against
Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong, and that
which was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.
26:030:023 And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will
disperse them through the countries.
26:030:024 And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and
put my sword in his hand: but I will break Pharaoh's arms, and he shall
groan before him with the groanings of a deadly wounded man.
26:030:025 But I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and
the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; and they shall know that I am the
LORD, when I shall put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon,
and he shall stretch it out upon the land of Egypt.
26:030:026 And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and
disperse them among the countries; and they shall know that I am the
LORD.
26:031:001 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third
month, in the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came
unto me, saying,
26:031:002 Son of man, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his
multitude; Whom art thou like in thy greatness?
26:031:003 Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with fair
branches, and with a shadowing shroud, and of an high stature; and his
top was among the thick boughs.
26:031:004 The waters made him great, the deep set him up on high with
her rivers running round about his plants, and sent her little rivers
unto all the trees of the field.
26:031:005 Therefore his height was exalted above all the trees of the
field, and his boughs were multiplied, and his branches became long
because of the multitude of waters, when he shot forth.
26:031:006 All the fowls of heaven made their nests in his boughs, and
under his branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their
young, and under his shadow dwelt all great nations.
26:031:007 Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his
branches: for his root was by great waters.
26:031:008 The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him: the fir
trees were not like his boughs, and the chestnut trees were not like
his branches; nor any tree in the garden of God was like unto him in
his beauty.
26:031:009 I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches: so
that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied him.
26:031:010 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast lifted
up thyself in height, and he hath shot up his top among the thick
boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height;
26:031:011 I have therefore delivered him into the hand of the mighty
one of the heathen; he shall surely deal with him: I have driven him
out for his wickedness.
26:031:012 And strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him
off, and have left him: upon the mountains and in all the valleys his
branches are fallen, and his boughs are broken by all the rivers of the
land; and all the people of the earth are gone down from his shadow,
and have left him.
26:031:013 Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven remain, and
all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches:
26:031:014 To the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt
themselves for their height, neither shoot up their top among the thick
boughs, neither their trees stand up in their height, all that drink
water: for they are all delivered unto death, to the nether parts of
the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down
to the pit.
26:031:015 Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day when he went down to the
grave I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained
the floods thereof, and the great waters were stayed: and I caused
Lebanon to mourn for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for
him.
26:031:016 I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I
cast him down to hell with them that descend into the pit: and all the
trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water,
shall be comforted in the nether parts of the earth.
26:031:017 They also went down into hell with him unto them that be
slain with the sword; and they that were his arm, that dwelt under his
shadow in the midst of the heathen.
26:031:018 To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among
the trees of Eden? yet shalt thou be brought down with the trees of
Eden unto the nether parts of the earth: thou shalt lie in the midst of
the uncircumcised with them that be slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh
and all his multitude, saith the Lord GOD.
26:032:001 And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the twelfth
month, in the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came
unto me, saying,
26:032:002 Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt,
and say unto him, Thou art like a young lion of the nations, and thou
art as a whale in the seas: and thou camest forth with thy rivers, and
troubledst the waters with thy feet, and fouledst their rivers.
26:032:003 Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will therefore spread out my net
over thee with a company of many people; and they shall bring thee up
in my net.
26:032:004 Then will I leave thee upon the land, I will cast thee forth
upon the open field, and will cause all the fowls of the heaven to
remain upon thee, and I will fill the beasts of the whole earth with
thee.
26:032:005 And I will lay thy flesh upon the mountains, and fill the
valleys with thy height.
26:032:006 I will also water with thy blood the land wherein thou
swimmest, even to the mountains; and the rivers shall be full of thee.
26:032:007 And when I shall put thee out, I will cover the heaven, and
make the stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the
moon shall not give her light.
26:032:008 All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark over thee,
and set darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord GOD.
26:032:009 I will also vex the hearts of many people, when I shall
bring thy destruction among the nations, into the countries which thou
hast not known.
26:032:010 Yea, I will make many people amazed at thee, and their kings
shall be horribly afraid for thee, when I shall brandish my sword
before them; and they shall tremble at every moment, every man for his
own life, in the day of thy fall.
26:032:011 For thus saith the Lord GOD; The sword of the king of
Babylon shall come upon thee.
26:032:012 By the swords of the mighty will I cause thy multitude to
fall, the terrible of the nations, all of them: and they shall spoil
the pomp of Egypt, and all the multitude thereof shall be destroyed.
26:032:013 I will destroy also all the beasts thereof from beside the
great waters; neither shall the foot of man trouble them any more, nor
the hoofs of beasts trouble them.
26:032:014 Then will I make their waters deep, and cause their rivers
to run like oil, saith the Lord GOD.
26:032:015 When I shall make the land of Egypt desolate, and the
country shall be destitute of that whereof it was full, when I shall
smite all them that dwell therein, then shall they know that I am the
LORD.
26:032:016 This is the lamentation wherewith they shall lament her: the
daughters of the nations shall lament her: they shall lament for her,
even for Egypt, and for all her multitude, saith the Lord GOD.
26:032:017 It came to pass also in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth
day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
26:032:018 Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them
down, even her, and the daughters of the famous nations, unto the
nether parts of the earth, with them that go down into the pit.
26:032:019 Whom dost thou pass in beauty? go down, and be thou laid
with the uncircumcised.
26:032:020 They shall fall in the midst of them that are slain by the
sword: she is delivered to the sword: draw her and all her multitudes.
26:032:021 The strong among the mighty shall speak to him out of the
midst of hell with them that help him: they are gone down, they lie
uncircumcised, slain by the sword.
26:032:022 Asshur is there and all her company: his graves are about
him: all of them slain, fallen by the sword:
26:032:023 Whose graves are set in the sides of the pit, and her
company is round about her grave: all of them slain, fallen by the
sword, which caused terror in the land of the living.
26:032:024 There is Elam and all her multitude round about her grave,
all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which are gone down
uncircumcised into the nether parts of the earth, which caused their
terror in the land of the living; yet have they borne their shame with
them that go down to the pit.
26:032:025 They have set her a bed in the midst of the slain with all
her multitude: her graves are round about him: all of them
uncircumcised, slain by the sword: though their terror was caused in
the land of the living, yet have they borne their shame with them that
go down to the pit: he is put in the midst of them that be slain.
26:032:026 There is Meshech, Tubal, and all her multitude: her graves
are round about him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword,
though they caused their terror in the land of the living.
26:032:027 And they shall not lie with the mighty that are fallen of
the uncircumcised, which are gone down to hell with their weapons of
war: and they have laid their swords under their heads, but their
iniquities shall be upon their bones, though they were the terror of
the mighty in the land of the living.
26:032:028 Yea, thou shalt be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised,
and shalt lie with them that are slain with the sword.
26:032:029 There is Edom, her kings, and all her princes, which with
their might are laid by them that were slain by the sword: they shall
lie with the uncircumcised, and with them that go down to the pit.
26:032:030 There be the princes of the north, all of them, and all the
Zidonians, which are gone down with the slain; with their terror they
are ashamed of their might; and they lie uncircumcised with them that
be slain by the sword, and bear their shame with them that go down to
the pit.
26:032:031 Pharaoh shall see them, and shall be comforted over all his
multitude, even Pharaoh and all his army slain by the sword, saith the
Lord GOD.
26:032:032 For I have caused my terror in the land of the living: and
he shall be laid in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that are
slain with the sword, even Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the
Lord GOD.
26:033:001 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
26:033:002 Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say
unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the
land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman:
26:033:003 If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the
trumpet, and warn the people;
26:033:004 Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh
not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be
upon his own head.
26:033:005 He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his
blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his
soul.
26:033:006 But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the
trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any
person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood
will I require at the watchman's hand.
26:033:007 So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the
house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and
warn them from me.
26:033:008 When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely
die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that
wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at
thine hand.
26:033:009 Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn
from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity;
but thou hast delivered thy soul.
26:033:010 Therefore, O thou son of man, speak unto the house of
Israel; Thus ye speak, saying, If our transgressions and our sins be
upon us, and we pine away in them, how should we then live?
26:033:011 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no
pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his
way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye
die, O house of Israel?
26:033:012 Therefore, thou son of man, say unto the children of thy
people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the
day of his transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall
not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness;
neither shall the righteous be able to live for his righteousness in
the day that he sinneth.
26:033:013 When I shall say to the righteous, that he shall surely
live; if he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all
his righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that
he hath committed, he shall die for it.
26:033:014 Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if
he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right;
26:033:015 If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had
robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he
shall surely live, he shall not die.
26:033:016 None of his sins that he hath committed shall be mentioned
unto him: he hath done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely
live.
26:033:017 Yet the children of thy people say, The way of the Lord is
not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal.
26:033:018 When the righteous turneth from his righteousness, and
committeth iniquity, he shall even die thereby.
26:033:019 But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that
which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby.
26:033:020 Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O ye house of
Israel, I will judge you every one after his ways.
26:033:021 And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in
the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, that one that had
escaped out of Jerusalem came unto me, saying, The city is smitten.
26:033:022 Now the hand of the LORD was upon me in the evening, afore
he that was escaped came; and had opened my mouth, until he came to me
in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no more dumb.
26:033:023 Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
26:033:024 Son of man, they that inhabit those wastes of the land of
Israel speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited the land: but
we are many; the land is given us for inheritance.
26:033:025 Wherefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Ye eat
with the blood, and lift up your eyes toward your idols, and shed
blood: and shall ye possess the land?
26:033:026 Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile
every one his neighbour's wife: and shall ye possess the land?
26:033:027 Say thou thus unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; As I live,
surely they that are in the wastes shall fall by the sword, and him
that is in the open field will I give to the beasts to be devoured, and
they that be in the forts and in the caves shall die of the pestilence.
26:033:028 For I will lay the land most desolate, and the pomp of her
strength shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate,
that none shall pass through.
26:033:029 Then shall they know that I am the LORD, when I have laid
the land most desolate because of all their abominations which they
have committed.
26:033:030 Also, thou son of man, the children of thy people still are
talking against thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and
speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray
you, and hear what is the word that cometh forth from the LORD.
26:033:031 And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit
before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do
them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth
after their covetousness.
26:033:032 And, lo, thou art unto them as a very lovely song of one
that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for
they hear thy words, but they do them not.
26:033:033 And when this cometh to pass, (lo, it will come,) then shall
they know that a prophet hath been among them.
26:034:001 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
26:034:002 Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel,
prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto the
shepherds; Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves!
should not the shepherds feed the flocks?
26:034:003 Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill
them that are fed: but ye feed not the flock.
26:034:004 The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye
healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was
broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away,
neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with
cruelty have ye ruled them.
26:034:005 And they were scattered, because there is no shepherd: and
they became meat to all the beasts of the field, when they were
scattered.
26:034:006 My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every
high hill: yea, my flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth,
and none did search or seek after them.
26:034:007 Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;
26:034:008 As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely because my flock
became a prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field,
because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my
flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock;
26:034:009 Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;
26:034:010 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against the shepherds;
and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from
feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any
more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not
be meat for them.
26:034:011 For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, will both
search my sheep, and seek them out.
26:034:012 As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is
among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and
will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in
the cloudy and dark day.
26:034:013 And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them
from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed
them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the
inhabited places of the country.
26:034:014 I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high
mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good
fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of
Israel.
26:034:015 I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down,
saith the Lord GOD.
26:034:016 I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which
was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will
strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the
strong; I will feed them with judgment.
26:034:017 And as for you, O my flock, thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold,
I judge between cattle and cattle, between the rams and the he goats.
26:034:018 Seemeth it a small thing unto you to have eaten up the good
pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your
pastures? and to have drunk of the deep waters, but ye must foul the
residue with your feet?
26:034:019 And as for my flock, they eat that which ye have trodden
with your feet; and they drink that which ye have fouled with your
feet.
26:034:020 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD unto them; Behold, I, even
I, will judge between the fat cattle and between the lean cattle.
26:034:021 Because ye have thrust with side and with shoulder, and
pushed all the diseased with your horns, till ye have scattered them
abroad;
26:034:022 Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a
prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle.
26:034:023 And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed
them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their
shepherd.
26:034:024 And I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David a
prince among them; I the LORD have spoken it.
26:034:025 And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will
cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell
safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.
26:034:026 And I will make them and the places round about my hill a
blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there
shall be showers of blessing.
26:034:027 And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit, and the
earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be safe in their land,
and shall know that I am the LORD, when I have broken the bands of
their yoke, and delivered them out of the hand of those that served
themselves of them.
26:034:028 And they shall no more be a prey to the heathen, neither
shall the beast of the land devour them; but they shall dwell safely,
and none shall make them afraid.
26:034:029 And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they
shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the
shame of the heathen any more.
26:034:030 Thus shall they know that I the LORD their God am with them,
and that they, even the house of Israel, are my people, saith the Lord
GOD.
26:034:031 And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men, and I am
your God, saith the Lord GOD.
26:035:001 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
26:035:002 Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy
against it,
26:035:003 And say unto it, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O mount
Seir, I am against thee, and I will stretch out mine hand against thee,
and I will make thee most desolate.
26:035:004 I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and
thou shalt know that I am the LORD.
26:035:005 Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed the
blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time
of their calamity, in the time that their iniquity had an end:
26:035:006 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will prepare
thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: sith thou hast not hated
blood, even blood shall pursue thee.
26:035:007 Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from
it him that passeth out and him that returneth.
26:035:008 And I will fill his mountains with his slain men: in thy
hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, shall they fall that
are slain with the sword.
26:035:009 I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall
not return: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
26:035:010 Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two
countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the LORD was
there:
26:035:011 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will even do
according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast
used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among
them, when I have judged thee.
26:035:012 And thou shalt know that I am the LORD, and that I have
heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains
of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to
consume.
26:035:013 Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me, and have
multiplied your words against me: I have heard them.
26:035:014 Thus saith the Lord GOD; When the whole earth rejoiceth, I
will make thee desolate.
26:035:015 As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of
Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be
desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea, even all of it: and they shall
know that I am the LORD.
26:036:001 Also, thou son of man, prophesy unto the mountains of
Israel, and say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD:
26:036:002 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the enemy hath said against
you, Aha, even the ancient high places are ours in possession:
26:036:003 Therefore prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because
they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that
ye might be a possession unto the residue of the heathen, and ye are
taken up in the lips of talkers, and are an infamy of the people:
26:036:004 Therefore, ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord
GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD to the mountains, and to the hills, to the
rivers, and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes, and to the cities
that are forsaken, which became a prey and derision to the residue of
the heathen that are round about;
26:036:005 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Surely in the fire of my
jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the heathen, and against
all Idumea, which have appointed my land into their possession with the
joy of all their heart, with despiteful minds, to cast it out for a
prey.
26:036:006 Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say
unto the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the
valleys, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy
and in my fury, because ye have borne the shame of the heathen:
26:036:007 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I have lifted up mine
hand, Surely the heathen that are about you, they shall bear their
shame.
26:036:008 But ye, O mountains of Israel, ye shall shoot forth your
branches, and yield your fruit to my people of Israel; for they are at
hand to come.
26:036:009 For, behold, I am for you, and I will turn unto you, and ye
shall be tilled and sown:
26:036:010 And I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel,
even all of it: and the cities shall be inhabited, and the wastes shall
be builded:
26:036:011 And I will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall
increase and bring fruit: and I will settle you after your old estates,
and will do better unto you than at your beginnings: and ye shall know
that I am the LORD.
26:036:012 Yea, I will cause men to walk upon you, even my people
Israel; and they shall possess thee, and thou shalt be their
inheritance, and thou shalt no more henceforth bereave them of men.
26:036:013 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because they say unto you, Thou
land devourest up men, and hast bereaved thy nations:
26:036:014 Therefore thou shalt devour men no more, neither bereave thy
nations any more, saith the Lord GOD.
26:036:015 Neither will I cause men to hear in thee the shame of the
heathen any more, neither shalt thou bear the reproach of the people
any more, neither shalt thou cause thy nations to fall any more, saith
the Lord GOD.
26:036:016 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
26:036:017 Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own
land, they defiled it by their own way and by their doings: their way
was before me as the uncleanness of a removed woman.
26:036:018 Wherefore I poured my fury upon them for the blood that they
had shed upon the land, and for their idols wherewith they had polluted
it:
26:036:019 And I scattered them among the heathen, and they were
dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according
to their doings I judged them.
26:036:020 And when they entered unto the heathen, whither they went,
they profaned my holy name, when they said to them, These are the
people of the LORD, and are gone forth out of his land.
26:036:021 But I had pity for mine holy name, which the house of Israel
had profaned among the heathen, whither they went.
26:036:022 Therefore say unto the house of Israel, thus saith the Lord
GOD; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy
name's sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went.
26:036:023 And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among
the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the
heathen shall know that I am the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall
be sanctified in you before their eyes.
26:036:024 For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you
out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.
26:036:025 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be
clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I
cleanse you.
26:036:026 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I
put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh,
and I will give you an heart of flesh.
26:036:027 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk
in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
26:036:028 And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers;
and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.
26:036:029 I will also save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will
call for the corn, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon you.
26:036:030 And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase
of the field, that ye shall receive no more reproach of famine among
the heathen.
26:036:031 Then shall ye remember your own evil ways, and your doings
that were not good, and shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for
your iniquities and for your abominations.
26:036:032 Not for your sakes do I this, saith the Lord GOD, be it
known unto you: be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of
Israel.
26:036:033 Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day that I shall have
cleansed you from all your iniquities I will also cause you to dwell in
the cities, and the wastes shall be builded.
26:036:034 And the desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it lay
desolate in the sight of all that passed by.
26:036:035 And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become
like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities
are become fenced, and are inhabited.
26:036:036 Then the heathen that are left round about you shall know
that I the LORD build the ruined places, and plant that that was
desolate: I the LORD have spoken it, and I will do it.
26:036:037 Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will yet for this be enquired of
by the house of Israel, to do it for them; I will increase them with
men like a flock.
26:036:038 As the holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn
feasts; so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men: and
they shall know that I am the LORD.
26:037:001 The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the
spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which
was full of bones,
26:037:002 And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold,
there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.
26:037:003 And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I
answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest.
26:037:004 Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say
unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.
26:037:005 Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will
cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:
26:037:006 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon
you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live;
and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
26:037:007 So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied,
there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together,
bone to his bone.
26:037:008 And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon
them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.
26:037:009 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son
of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the
four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.
26:037:010 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into
them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great
army.
26:037:011 Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole
house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is
lost: we are cut off for our parts.
26:037:012 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord
GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to
come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.
26:037:013 And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened
your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,
26:037:014 And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I
shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD
have spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD.
26:037:015 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
26:037:016 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write
upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then
take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim
and for all the house of Israel his companions:
26:037:017 And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall
become one in thine hand.
26:037:018 And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee,
saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these?
26:037:019 Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take
the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of
Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of
Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.
26:037:020 And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand
before their eyes.
26:037:021 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will
take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be
gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own
land:
26:037:022 And I will make them one nation in the land upon the
mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they
shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two
kingdoms any more at all.
26:037:023 Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their
idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their
transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwellingplaces,
wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my
people, and I will be their God.
26:037:024 And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all
shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and
observe my statutes, and do them.
26:037:025 And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto
Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell
therein, even they, and their children, and their children's children
for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever.
26:037:026 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall
be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and
multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for
evermore.
26:037:027 My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their
God, and they shall be my people.
26:037:028 And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify
Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.
26:038:001 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
26:038:002 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the
chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
26:038:003 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee,
O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
26:038:004 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and
I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all
of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with
bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
26:038:005 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with
shield and helmet:
26:038:006 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north
quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.
26:038:007 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy
company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
26:038:008 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years
thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and
is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which
have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and
they shall dwell safely all of them.
26:038:009 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like
a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people
with thee.
26:038:010 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at
the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an
evil thought:
26:038:011 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled
villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of
them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
26:038:012 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon
the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that
are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods,
that dwell in the midst of the land.
26:038:013 Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all
the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a
spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away
silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?
26:038:014 Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith
the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely,
shalt thou not know it?
26:038:015 And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts,
thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a
great company, and a mighty army:
26:038:016 And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a
cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will
bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall
be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.
26:038:017 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken
in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in
those days many years that I would bring thee against them?
26:038:018 And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall
come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall
come up in my face.
26:038:019 For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I
spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land
of Israel;
26:038:020 So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven,
and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon
the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall
shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the
steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
26:038:021 And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my
mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man's sword shall be against his
brother.
26:038:022 And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood;
and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people
that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and
brimstone.
26:038:023 Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will
be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the
LORD.
26:039:001 Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say,
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief
prince of Meshech and Tubal:
26:039:002 And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of
thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will
bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:
26:039:003 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will
cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
26:039:004 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all
thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the
ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be
devoured.
26:039:005 Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it,
saith the Lord GOD.
26:039:006 And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell
carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
26:039:007 So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people
Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the
heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.
26:039:008 Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this
is the day whereof I have spoken.
26:039:009 And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth,
and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the
bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears,
and they shall burn them with fire seven years:
26:039:010 So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither
cut down any out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with
fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that
robbed them, saith the Lord GOD.
26:039:011 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto
Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on
the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and
there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it
The valley of Hamongog.
26:039:012 And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of
them, that they may cleanse the land.
26:039:013 Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it
shall be to them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith the
Lord GOD.
26:039:014 And they shall sever out men of continual employment,
passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain
upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven
months shall they search.
26:039:015 And the passengers that pass through the land, when any
seeth a man's bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers
have buried it in the valley of Hamongog.
26:039:016 And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall
they cleanse the land.
26:039:017 And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto
every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble
yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice
that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains
of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.
26:039:018 Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of
the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks,
all of them fatlings of Bashan.
26:039:019 And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till
ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.
26:039:020 Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and
chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD.
26:039:021 And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the
heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I
have laid upon them.
26:039:022 So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their
God from that day and forward.
26:039:023 And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went
into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me,
therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their
enemies: so fell they all by the sword.
26:039:024 According to their uncleanness and according to their
transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them.
26:039:025 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again
the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel,
and will be jealous for my holy name;
26:039:026 After that they have borne their shame, and all their
trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt
safely in their land, and none made them afraid.
26:039:027 When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered
them out of their enemies' lands, and am sanctified in them in the
sight of many nations;
26:039:028 Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, which
caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have
gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more
there.
26:039:029 Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have
poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.
26:040:001 In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the
beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth
year after that the city was smitten, in the selfsame day the hand of
the LORD was upon me, and brought me thither.
26:040:002 In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel,
and set me upon a very high mountain, by which was as the frame of a
city on the south.
26:040:003 And he brought me thither, and, behold, there was a man,
whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax
in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate.
26:040:004 And the man said unto me, Son of man, behold with thine
eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thine heart upon all that I
shall shew thee; for to the intent that I might shew them unto thee art
thou brought hither: declare all that thou seest to the house of
Israel.
26:040:005 And behold a wall on the outside of the house round about,
and in the man's hand a measuring reed of six cubits long by the cubit
and an hand breadth: so he measured the breadth of the building, one
reed; and the height, one reed.
26:040:006 Then came he unto the gate which looketh toward the east,
and went up the stairs thereof, and measured the threshold of the gate,
which was one reed broad; and the other threshold of the gate, which
was one reed broad.
26:040:007 And every little chamber was one reed long, and one reed
broad; and between the little chambers were five cubits; and the
threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate within was one reed.
26:040:008 He measured also the porch of the gate within, one reed.
26:040:009 Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and
the posts thereof, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was inward.
26:040:010 And the little chambers of the gate eastward were three on
this side, and three on that side; they three were of one measure: and
the posts had one measure on this side and on that side.
26:040:011 And he measured the breadth of the entry of the gate, ten
cubits; and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits.
26:040:012 The space also before the little chambers was one cubit on
this side, and the space was one cubit on that side: and the little
chambers were six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.
26:040:013 He measured then the gate from the roof of one little
chamber to the roof of another: the breadth was five and twenty cubits,
door against door.
26:040:014 He made also posts of threescore cubits, even unto the post
of the court round about the gate.
26:040:015 And from the face of the gate of the entrance unto the face
of the porch of the inner gate were fifty cubits.
26:040:016 And there were narrow windows to the little chambers, and to
their posts within the gate round about, and likewise to the arches:
and windows were round about inward: and upon each post were palm
trees.
26:040:017 Then brought he me into the outward court, and, lo, there
were chambers, and a pavement made for the court round about: thirty
chambers were upon the pavement.
26:040:018 And the pavement by the side of the gates over against the
length of the gates was the lower pavement.
26:040:019 Then he measured the breadth from the forefront of the lower
gate unto the forefront of the inner court without, an hundred cubits
eastward and northward.
26:040:020 And the gate of the outward court that looked toward the
north, he measured the length thereof, and the breadth thereof.
26:040:021 And the little chambers thereof were three on this side and
three on that side; and the posts thereof and the arches thereof were
after the measure of the first gate: the length thereof was fifty
cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.
26:040:022 And their windows, and their arches, and their palm trees,
were after the measure of the gate that looketh toward the east; and
they went up unto it by seven steps; and the arches thereof were before
them.
26:040:023 And the gate of the inner court was over against the gate
toward the north, and toward the east; and he measured from gate to
gate an hundred cubits.
26:040:024 After that he brought me toward the south, and behold a gate
toward the south: and he measured the posts thereof and the arches
thereof according to these measures.
26:040:025 And there were windows in it and in the arches thereof round
about, like those windows: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth
five and twenty cubits.
26:040:026 And there were seven steps to go up to it, and the arches
thereof were before them: and it had palm trees, one on this side, and
another on that side, upon the posts thereof.
26:040:027 And there was a gate in the inner court toward the south:
and he measured from gate to gate toward the south an hundred cubits.
26:040:028 And he brought me to the inner court by the south gate: and
he measured the south gate according to these measures;
26:040:029 And the little chambers thereof, and the posts thereof, and
the arches thereof, according to these measures: and there were windows
in it and in the arches thereof round about: it was fifty cubits long,
and five and twenty cubits broad.
26:040:030 And the arches round about were five and twenty cubits long,
and five cubits broad.
26:040:031 And the arches thereof were toward the utter court; and palm
trees were upon the posts thereof: and the going up to it had eight
steps.
26:040:032 And he brought me into the inner court toward the east: and
he measured the gate according to these measures.
26:040:033 And the little chambers thereof, and the posts thereof, and
the arches thereof, were according to these measures: and there were
windows therein and in the arches thereof round about: it was fifty
cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad.
26:040:034 And the arches thereof were toward the outward court; and
palm trees were upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side:
and the going up to it had eight steps.
26:040:035 And he brought me to the north gate, and measured it
according to these measures;
26:040:036 The little chambers thereof, the posts thereof, and the
arches thereof, and the windows to it round about: the length was fifty
cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.
26:040:037 And the posts thereof were toward the utter court; and palm
trees were upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side: and
the going up to it had eight steps.
26:040:038 And the chambers and the entries thereof were by the posts
of the gates, where they washed the burnt offering.
26:040:039 And in the porch of the gate were two tables on this side,
and two tables on that side, to slay thereon the burnt offering and the
sin offering and the trespass offering.
26:040:040 And at the side without, as one goeth up to the entry of the
north gate, were two tables; and on the other side, which was at the
porch of the gate, were two tables.
26:040:041 Four tables were on this side, and four tables on that side,
by the side of the gate; eight tables, whereupon they slew their
sacrifices.
26:040:042 And the four tables were of hewn stone for the burnt
offering, of a cubit and an half long, and a cubit and an half broad,
and one cubit high: whereupon also they laid the instruments wherewith
they slew the burnt offering and the sacrifice.
26:040:043 And within were hooks, an hand broad, fastened round about:
and upon the tables was the flesh of the offering.
26:040:044 And without the inner gate were the chambers of the singers
in the inner court, which was at the side of the north gate; and their
prospect was toward the south: one at the side of the east gate having
the prospect toward the north.
26:040:045 And he said unto me, This chamber, whose prospect is toward
the south, is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the house.
26:040:046 And the chamber whose prospect is toward the north is for
the priests, the keepers of the charge of the altar: these are the sons
of Zadok among the sons of Levi, which come near to the LORD to
minister unto him.
26:040:047 So he measured the court, an hundred cubits long, and an
hundred cubits broad, foursquare; and the altar that was before the
house.
26:040:048 And he brought me to the porch of the house, and measured
each post of the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on
that side: and the breadth of the gate was three cubits on this side,
and three cubits on that side.
26:040:049 The length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the breadth
eleven cubits, and he brought me by the steps whereby they went up to
it: and there were pillars by the posts, one on this side, and another
on that side.
26:041:001 Afterward he brought me to the temple, and measured the
posts, six cubits broad on the one side, and six cubits broad on the
other side, which was the breadth of the tabernacle.
26:041:002 And the breadth of the door was ten cubits; and the sides of
the door were five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the other
side: and he measured the length thereof, forty cubits: and the
breadth, twenty cubits.
26:041:003 Then went he inward, and measured the post of the door, two
cubits; and the door, six cubits; and the breadth of the door, seven
cubits.
26:041:004 So he measured the length thereof, twenty cubits; and the
breadth, twenty cubits, before the temple: and he said unto me, This is
the most holy place.
26:041:005 After he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the
breadth of every side chamber, four cubits, round about the house on
every side.
26:041:006 And the side chambers were three, one over another, and
thirty in order; and they entered into the wall which was of the house
for the side chambers round about, that they might have hold, but they
had not hold in the wall of the house.
26:041:007 And there was an enlarging, and a winding about still upward
to the side chambers: for the winding about of the house went still
upward round about the house: therefore the breadth of the house was
still upward, and so increased from the lowest chamber to the highest
by the midst.
26:041:008 I saw also the height of the house round about: the
foundations of the side chambers were a full reed of six great cubits.
26:041:009 The thickness of the wall, which was for the side chamber
without, was five cubits: and that which was left was the place of the
side chambers that were within.
26:041:010 And between the chambers was the wideness of twenty cubits
round about the house on every side.
26:041:011 And the doors of the side chambers were toward the place
that was left, one door toward the north, and another door toward the
south: and the breadth of the place that was left was five cubits round
about.
26:041:012 Now the building that was before the separate place at the
end toward the west was seventy cubits broad; and the wall of the
building was five cubits thick round about, and the length thereof
ninety cubits.
26:041:013 So he measured the house, an hundred cubits long; and the
separate place, and the building, with the walls thereof, an hundred
cubits long;
26:041:014 Also the breadth of the face of the house, and of the
separate place toward the east, an hundred cubits.
26:041:015 And he measured the length of the building over against the
separate place which was behind it, and the galleries thereof on the
one side and on the other side, an hundred cubits, with the inner
temple, and the porches of the court;
26:041:016 The door posts, and the narrow windows, and the galleries
round about on their three stories, over against the door, cieled with
wood round about, and from the ground up to the windows, and the
windows were covered;
26:041:017 To that above the door, even unto the inner house, and
without, and by all the wall round about within and without, by
measure.
26:041:018 And it was made with cherubims and palm trees, so that a
palm tree was between a cherub and a cherub; and every cherub had two
faces;
26:041:019 So that the face of a man was toward the palm tree on the
one side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the
other side: it was made through all the house round about.
26:041:020 From the ground unto above the door were cherubims and palm
trees made, and on the wall of the temple.
26:041:021 The posts of the temple were squared, and the face of the
sanctuary; the appearance of the one as the appearance of the other.
26:041:022 The altar of wood was three cubits high, and the length
thereof two cubits; and the corners thereof, and the length thereof,
and the walls thereof, were of wood: and he said unto me, This is the
table that is before the LORD.
26:041:023 And the temple and the sanctuary had two doors.
26:041:024 And the doors had two leaves apiece, two turning leaves; two
leaves for the one door, and two leaves for the other door.
26:041:025 And there were made on them, on the doors of the temple,
cherubims and palm trees, like as were made upon the walls; and there
were thick planks upon the face of the porch without.
26:041:026 And there were narrow windows and palm trees on the one side
and on the other side, on the sides of the porch, and upon the side
chambers of the house, and thick planks.
26:042:001 Then he brought me forth into the utter court, the way
toward the north: and he brought me into the chamber that was over
against the separate place, and which was before the building toward
the north.
26:042:002 Before the length of an hundred cubits was the north door,
and the breadth was fifty cubits.
26:042:003 Over against the twenty cubits which were for the inner
court, and over against the pavement which was for the utter court, was
gallery against gallery in three stories.
26:042:004 And before the chambers was a walk to ten cubits breadth
inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors toward the north.
26:042:005 Now the upper chambers were shorter: for the galleries were
higher than these, than the lower, and than the middlemost of the
building.
26:042:006 For they were in three stories, but had not pillars as the
pillars of the courts: therefore the building was straitened more than
the lowest and the middlemost from the ground.
26:042:007 And the wall that was without over against the chambers,
toward the utter court on the forepart of the chambers, the length
thereof was fifty cubits.
26:042:008 For the length of the chambers that were in the utter court
was fifty cubits: and, lo, before the temple were an hundred cubits.
26:042:009 And from under these chambers was the entry on the east
side, as one goeth into them from the utter court.
26:042:010 The chambers were in the thickness of the wall of the court
toward the east, over against the separate place, and over against the
building.
26:042:011 And the way before them was like the appearance of the
chambers which were toward the north, as long as they, and as broad as
they: and all their goings out were both according to their fashions,
and according to their doors.
26:042:012 And according to the doors of the chambers that were toward
the south was a door in the head of the way, even the way directly
before the wall toward the east, as one entereth into them.
26:042:013 Then said he unto me, The north chambers and the south
chambers, which are before the separate place, they be holy chambers,
where the priests that approach unto the LORD shall eat the most holy
things: there shall they lay the most holy things, and the meat
offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering; for the
place is holy.
26:042:014 When the priests enter therein, then shall they not go out
of the holy place into the utter court, but there they shall lay their
garments wherein they minister; for they are holy; and shall put on
other garments, and shall approach to those things which are for the
people.
26:042:015 Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he
brought me forth toward the gate whose prospect is toward the east, and
measured it round about.
26:042:016 He measured the east side with the measuring reed, five
hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about.
26:042:017 He measured the north side, five hundred reeds, with the
measuring reed round about.
26:042:018 He measured the south side, five hundred reeds, with the
measuring reed.
26:042:019 He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred
reeds with the measuring reed.
26:042:020 He measured it by the four sides: it had a wall round about,
five hundred reeds long, and five hundred broad, to make a separation
between the sanctuary and the profane place.
26:043:001 Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that
looketh toward the east:
26:043:002 And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the
way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the
earth shined with his glory.
26:043:003 And it was according to the appearance of the vision which I
saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the
city: and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river
Chebar; and I fell upon my face.
26:043:004 And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of
the gate whose prospect is toward the east.
26:043:005 So the spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner
court; and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house.
26:043:006 And I heard him speaking unto me out of the house; and the
man stood by me.
26:043:007 And he said unto me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and
the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of
the children of Israel for ever, and my holy name, shall the house of
Israel no more defile, neither they, nor their kings, by their
whoredom, nor by the carcases of their kings in their high places.
26:043:008 In their setting of their threshold by my thresholds, and
their post by my posts, and the wall between me and them, they have
even defiled my holy name by their abominations that they have
committed: wherefore I have consumed them in mine anger.
26:043:009 Now let them put away their whoredom, and the carcases of
their kings, far from me, and I will dwell in the midst of them for
ever.
26:043:010 Thou son of man, shew the house to the house of Israel, that
they may be ashamed of their iniquities: and let them measure the
pattern.
26:043:011 And if they be ashamed of all that they have done, shew them
the form of the house, and the fashion thereof, and the goings out
thereof, and the comings in thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all
the ordinances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the laws
thereof: and write it in their sight, that they may keep the whole form
thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and do them.
26:043:012 This is the law of the house; Upon the top of the mountain
the whole limit thereof round about shall be most holy. Behold, this is
the law of the house.
26:043:013 And these are the measures of the altar after the cubits:
The cubit is a cubit and an hand breadth; even the bottom shall be a
cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and the border thereof by the edge
thereof round about shall be a span: and this shall be the higher place
of the altar.
26:043:014 And from the bottom upon the ground even to the lower settle
shall be two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the lesser
settle even to the greater settle shall be four cubits, and the breadth
one cubit.
26:043:015 So the altar shall be four cubits; and from the altar and
upward shall be four horns.
26:043:016 And the altar shall be twelve cubits long, twelve broad,
square in the four squares thereof.
26:043:017 And the settle shall be fourteen cubits long and fourteen
broad in the four squares thereof; and the border about it shall be
half a cubit; and the bottom thereof shall be a cubit about; and his
stairs shall look toward the east.
26:043:018 And he said unto me, Son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD;
These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make
it, to offer burnt offerings thereon, and to sprinkle blood thereon.
26:043:019 And thou shalt give to the priests the Levites that be of
the seed of Zadok, which approach unto me, to minister unto me, saith
the Lord GOD, a young bullock for a sin offering.
26:043:020 And thou shalt take of the blood thereof, and put it on the
four horns of it, and on the four corners of the settle, and upon the
border round about: thus shalt thou cleanse and purge it.
26:043:021 Thou shalt take the bullock also of the sin offering, and he
shall burn it in the appointed place of the house, without the
sanctuary.
26:043:022 And on the second day thou shalt offer a kid of the goats
without blemish for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the altar,
as they did cleanse it with the bullock.
26:043:023 When thou hast made an end of cleansing it, thou shalt offer
a young bullock without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without
blemish.
26:043:024 And thou shalt offer them before the LORD, and the priests
shall cast salt upon them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt
offering unto the LORD.
26:043:025 Seven days shalt thou prepare every day a goat for a sin
offering: they shall also prepare a young bullock, and a ram out of the
flock, without blemish.
26:043:026 Seven days shall they purge the altar and purify it; and
they shall consecrate themselves.
26:043:027 And when these days are expired, it shall be, that upon the
eighth day, and so forward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings
upon the altar, and your peace offerings; and I will accept you, saith
the Lord GOD.
26:044:001 Then he brought me back the way of the gate of the outward
sanctuary which looketh toward the east; and it was shut.
26:044:002 Then said the LORD unto me; This gate shall be shut, it
shall not be opened, and no man shall enter in by it; because the LORD,
the God of Israel, hath entered in by it, therefore it shall be shut.
26:044:003 It is for the prince; the prince, he shall sit in it to eat
bread before the LORD; he shall enter by the way of the porch of that
gate, and shall go out by the way of the same.
26:044:004 Then brought he me the way of the north gate before the
house: and I looked, and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the
house of the LORD: and I fell upon my face.
26:044:005 And the LORD said unto me, Son of man, mark well, and behold
with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears all that I say unto thee
concerning all the ordinances of the house of the LORD, and all the
laws thereof; and mark well the entering in of the house, with every
going forth of the sanctuary.
26:044:006 And thou shalt say to the rebellious, even to the house of
Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; O ye house of Israel, let it suffice
you of all your abominations,
26:044:007 In that ye have brought into my sanctuary strangers,
uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my
sanctuary, to pollute it, even my house, when ye offer my bread, the
fat and the blood, and they have broken my covenant because of all your
abominations.
26:044:008 And ye have not kept the charge of mine holy things: but ye
have set keepers of my charge in my sanctuary for yourselves.
26:044:009 Thus saith the Lord GOD; No stranger, uncircumcised in
heart, nor uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of
any stranger that is among the children of Israel.
26:044:010 And the Levites that are gone away far from me, when Israel
went astray, which went astray away from me after their idols; they
shall even bear their iniquity.
26:044:011 Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having charge
at the gates of the house, and ministering to the house: they shall
slay the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they
shall stand before them to minister unto them.
26:044:012 Because they ministered unto them before their idols, and
caused the house of Israel to fall into iniquity; therefore have I
lifted up mine hand against them, saith the Lord GOD, and they shall
bear their iniquity.
26:044:013 And they shall not come near unto me, to do the office of a
priest unto me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, in the most
holy place: but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations
which they have committed.
26:044:014 But I will make them keepers of the charge of the house, for
all the service thereof, and for all that shall be done therein.
26:044:015 But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept
the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from
me, they shall come near to me to minister unto me, and they shall
stand before me to offer unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord
GOD:
26:044:016 They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near
to my table, to minister unto me, and they shall keep my charge.
26:044:017 And it shall come to pass, that when they enter in at the
gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments;
and no wool shall come upon them, whiles they minister in the gates of
the inner court, and within.
26:044:018 They shall have linen bonnets upon their heads, and shall
have linen breeches upon their loins; they shall not gird themselves
with any thing that causeth sweat.
26:044:019 And when they go forth into the utter court, even into the
utter court to the people, they shall put off their garments wherein
they ministered, and lay them in the holy chambers, and they shall put
on other garments; and they shall not sanctify the people with their
garments.
26:044:020 Neither shall they shave their heads, nor suffer their locks
to grow long; they shall only poll their heads.
26:044:021 Neither shall any priest drink wine, when they enter into
the inner court.
26:044:022 Neither shall they take for their wives a widow, nor her
that is put away: but they shall take maidens of the seed of the house
of Israel, or a widow that had a priest before.
26:044:023 And they shall teach my people the difference between the
holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the
clean.
26:044:024 And in controversy they shall stand in judgment; and they
shall judge it according to my judgments: and they shall keep my laws
and my statutes in all mine assemblies; and they shall hallow my
sabbaths.
26:044:025 And they shall come at no dead person to defile themselves:
but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for
brother, or for sister that hath had no husband, they may defile
themselves.
26:044:026 And after he is cleansed, they shall reckon unto him seven
days.
26:044:027 And in the day that he goeth into the sanctuary, unto the
inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin
offering, saith the Lord GOD.
26:044:028 And it shall be unto them for an inheritance: I am their
inheritance: and ye shall give them no possession in Israel: I am their
possession.
26:044:029 They shall eat the meat offering, and the sin offering, and
the trespass offering: and every dedicated thing in Israel shall be
theirs.
26:044:030 And the first of all the firstfruits of all things, and
every oblation of all, of every sort of your oblations, shall be the
priest's: ye shall also give unto the priest the first of your dough,
that he may cause the blessing to rest in thine house.
26:044:031 The priests shall not eat of any thing that is dead of
itself, or torn, whether it be fowl or beast.
26:045:001 Moreover, when ye shall divide by lot the land for
inheritance, ye shall offer an oblation unto the LORD, an holy portion
of the land: the length shall be the length of five and twenty thousand
reeds, and the breadth shall be ten thousand. This shall be holy in all
the borders thereof round about.
26:045:002 Of this there shall be for the sanctuary five hundred in
length, with five hundred in breadth, square round about; and fifty
cubits round about for the suburbs thereof.
26:045:003 And of this measure shalt thou measure the length of five
and twenty thousand, and the breadth of ten thousand: and in it shall
be the sanctuary and the most holy place.
26:045:004 The holy portion of the land shall be for the priests the
ministers of the sanctuary, which shall come near to minister unto the
LORD: and it shall be a place for their houses, and an holy place for
the sanctuary.
26:045:005 And the five and twenty thousand of length, and the ten
thousand of breadth shall also the Levites, the ministers of the house,
have for themselves, for a possession for twenty chambers.
26:045:006 And ye shall appoint the possession of the city five
thousand broad, and five and twenty thousand long, over against the
oblation of the holy portion: it shall be for the whole house of
Israel.
26:045:007 And a portion shall be for the prince on the one side and on
the other side of the oblation of the holy portion, and of the
possession of the city, before the oblation of the holy portion, and
before the possession of the city, from the west side westward, and
from the east side eastward: and the length shall be over against one
of the portions, from the west border unto the east border.
26:045:008 In the land shall be his possession in Israel: and my
princes shall no more oppress my people; and the rest of the land shall
they give to the house of Israel according to their tribes.
26:045:009 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Let it suffice you, O princes of
Israel: remove violence and spoil, and execute judgment and justice,
take away your exactions from my people, saith the Lord GOD.
26:045:010 Ye shall have just balances, and a just ephah, and a just
bath.
26:045:011 The ephah and the bath shall be of one measure, that the
bath may contain the tenth part of an homer, and the ephah the tenth
part of an homer: the measure thereof shall be after the homer.
26:045:012 And the shekel shall be twenty gerahs: twenty shekels, five
and twenty shekels, fifteen shekels, shall be your maneh.
26:045:013 This is the oblation that ye shall offer; the sixth part of
an ephah of an homer of wheat, and ye shall give the sixth part of an
ephah of an homer of barley:
26:045:014 Concerning the ordinance of oil, the bath of oil, ye shall
offer the tenth part of a bath out of the cor, which is an homer of ten
baths; for ten baths are an homer:
26:045:015 And one lamb out of the flock, out of two hundred, out of
the fat pastures of Israel; for a meat offering, and for a burnt
offering, and for peace offerings, to make reconciliation for them,
saith the Lord GOD.
26:045:016 All the people of the land shall give this oblation for the
prince in Israel.
26:045:017 And it shall be the prince's part to give burnt offerings,
and meat offerings, and drink offerings, in the feasts, and in the new
moons, and in the sabbaths, in all solemnities of the house of Israel:
he shall prepare the sin offering, and the meat offering, and the burnt
offering, and the peace offerings, to make reconciliation for the house
of Israel.
26:045:018 Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the first month, in the first
day of the month, thou shalt take a young bullock without blemish, and
cleanse the sanctuary:
26:045:019 And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering,
and put it upon the posts of the house, and upon the four corners of
the settle of the altar, and upon the posts of the gate of the inner
court.
26:045:020 And so thou shalt do the seventh day of the month for every
one that erreth, and for him that is simple: so shall ye reconcile the
house.
26:045:021 In the first month, in the fourteenth day of the month, ye
shall have the passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall
be eaten.
26:045:022 And upon that day shall the prince prepare for himself and
for all the people of the land a bullock for a sin offering.
26:045:023 And seven days of the feast he shall prepare a burnt
offering to the LORD, seven bullocks and seven rams without blemish
daily the seven days; and a kid of the goats daily for a sin offering.
26:045:024 And he shall prepare a meat offering of an ephah for a
bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and an hin of oil for an ephah.
26:045:025 In the seventh month, in the fifteenth day of the month,
shall he do the like in the feast of the seven days, according to the
sin offering, according to the burnt offering, and according to the
meat offering, and according to the oil.
26:046:001 Thus saith the Lord GOD; The gate of the inner court that
looketh toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the
sabbath it shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon it shall be
opened.
26:046:002 And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of that
gate without, and shall stand by the post of the gate, and the priests
shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and he shall
worship at the threshold of the gate: then he shall go forth; but the
gate shall not be shut until the evening.
26:046:003 Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the door of
this gate before the LORD in the sabbaths and in the new moons.
26:046:004 And the burnt offering that the prince shall offer unto the
LORD in the sabbath day shall be six lambs without blemish, and a ram
without blemish.
26:046:005 And the meat offering shall be an ephah for a ram, and the
meat offering for the lambs as he shall be able to give, and an hin of
oil to an ephah.
26:046:006 And in the day of the new moon it shall be a young bullock
without blemish, and six lambs, and a ram: they shall be without
blemish.
26:046:007 And he shall prepare a meat offering, an ephah for a
bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs according as his
hand shall attain unto, and an hin of oil to an ephah.
26:046:008 And when the prince shall enter, he shall go in by the way
of the porch of that gate, and he shall go forth by the way thereof.
26:046:009 But when the people of the land shall come before the LORD
in the solemn feasts, he that entereth in by the way of the north gate
to worship shall go out by the way of the south gate; and he that
entereth by the way of the south gate shall go forth by the way of the
north gate: he shall not return by the way of the gate whereby he came
in, but shall go forth over against it.
26:046:010 And the prince in the midst of them, when they go in, shall
go in; and when they go forth, shall go forth.
26:046:011 And in the feasts and in the solemnities the meat offering
shall be an ephah to a bullock, and an ephah to a ram, and to the lambs
as he is able to give, and an hin of oil to an ephah.
26:046:012 Now when the prince shall prepare a voluntary burnt offering
or peace offerings voluntarily unto the LORD, one shall then open him
the gate that looketh toward the east, and he shall prepare his burnt
offering and his peace offerings, as he did on the sabbath day: then he
shall go forth; and after his going forth one shall shut the gate.
26:046:013 Thou shalt daily prepare a burnt offering unto the LORD of a
lamb of the first year without blemish: thou shalt prepare it every
morning.
26:046:014 And thou shalt prepare a meat offering for it every morning,
the sixth part of an ephah, and the third part of an hin of oil, to
temper with the fine flour; a meat offering continually by a perpetual
ordinance unto the LORD.
26:046:015 Thus shall they prepare the lamb, and the meat offering, and
the oil, every morning for a continual burnt offering.
26:046:016 Thus saith the Lord GOD; If the prince give a gift unto any
of his sons, the inheritance thereof shall be his sons'; it shall be
their possession by inheritance.
26:046:017 But if he give a gift of his inheritance to one of his
servants, then it shall be his to the year of liberty; after it shall
return to the prince: but his inheritance shall be his sons' for them.
26:046:018 Moreover the prince shall not take of the people's
inheritance by oppression, to thrust them out of their possession; but
he shall give his sons inheritance out of his own possession: that my
people be not scattered every man from his possession.
26:046:019 After he brought me through the entry, which was at the side
of the gate, into the holy chambers of the priests, which looked toward
the north: and, behold, there was a place on the two sides westward.
26:046:020 Then said he unto me, This is the place where the priests
shall boil the trespass offering and the sin offering, where they shall
bake the meat offering; that they bear them not out into the utter
court, to sanctify the people.
26:046:021 Then he brought me forth into the utter court, and caused me
to pass by the four corners of the court; and, behold, in every corner
of the court there was a court.
26:046:022 In the four corners of the court there were courts joined of
forty cubits long and thirty broad: these four corners were of one
measure.
26:046:023 And there was a row of building round about in them, round
about them four, and it was made with boiling places under the rows
round about.
26:046:024 Then said he unto me, These are the places of them that
boil, where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the
people.
26:047:001 Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house;
and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house
eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the
waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the
south side of the altar.
26:047:002 Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward, and
led me about the way without unto the utter gate by the way that
looketh eastward; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side.
26:047:003 And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth
eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the
waters; the waters were to the ankles.
26:047:004 Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the
waters; the waters were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and
brought me through; the waters were to the loins.
26:047:005 Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I
could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a
river that could not be passed over.
26:047:006 And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen this? Then
he brought me, and caused me to return to the brink of the river.
26:047:007 Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river
were very many trees on the one side and on the other.
26:047:008 Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east
country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being
brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed.
26:047:009 And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth,
which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and
there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters
shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall
live whither the river cometh.
26:047:010 And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand upon
it from Engedi even unto Eneglaim; they shall be a place to spread
forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish
of the great sea, exceeding many.
26:047:011 But the miry places thereof and the marishes thereof shall
not be healed; they shall be given to salt.
26:047:012 And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on
that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade,
neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new
fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of
the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf
thereof for medicine.
26:047:013 Thus saith the Lord GOD; This shall be the border, whereby
ye shall inherit the land according to the twelve tribes of Israel:
Joseph shall have two portions.
26:047:014 And ye shall inherit it, one as well as another: concerning
the which I lifted up mine hand to give it unto your fathers: and this
land shall fall unto you for inheritance.
26:047:015 And this shall be the border of the land toward the north
side, from the great sea, the way of Hethlon, as men go to Zedad;
26:047:016 Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of
Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazarhatticon, which is by the coast
of Hauran.
26:047:017 And the border from the sea shall be Hazarenan, the border
of Damascus, and the north northward, and the border of Hamath. And
this is the north side.
26:047:018 And the east side ye shall measure from Hauran, and from
Damascus, and from Gilead, and from the land of Israel by Jordan, from
the border unto the east sea. And this is the east side.
26:047:019 And the south side southward, from Tamar even to the waters
of strife in Kadesh, the river to the great sea. And this is the south
side southward.
26:047:020 The west side also shall be the great sea from the border,
till a man come over against Hamath. This is the west side.
26:047:021 So shall ye divide this land unto you according to the
tribes of Israel.
26:047:022 And it shall come to pass, that ye shall divide it by lot
for an inheritance unto you, and to the strangers that sojourn among
you, which shall beget children among you: and they shall be unto you
as born in the country among the children of Israel; they shall have
inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.
26:047:023 And it shall come to pass, that in what tribe the stranger
sojourneth, there shall ye give him his inheritance, saith the Lord
GOD.
26:048:001 Now these are the names of the tribes. From the north end to
the coast of the way of Hethlon, as one goeth to Hamath, Hazarenan, the
border of Damascus northward, to the coast of Hamath; for these are his
sides east and west; a portion for Dan.
26:048:002 And by the border of Dan, from the east side unto the west
side, a portion for Asher.
26:048:003 And by the border of Asher, from the east side even unto the
west side, a portion for Naphtali.
26:048:004 And by the border of Naphtali, from the east side unto the
west side, a portion for Manasseh.
26:048:005 And by the border of Manasseh, from the east side unto the
west side, a portion for Ephraim.
26:048:006 And by the border of Ephraim, from the east side even unto
the west side, a portion for Reuben.
26:048:007 And by the border of Reuben, from the east side unto the
west side, a portion for Judah.
26:048:008 And by the border of Judah, from the east side unto the west
side, shall be the offering which ye shall offer of five and twenty
thousand reeds in breadth, and in length as one of the other parts,
from the east side unto the west side: and the sanctuary shall be in
the midst of it.
26:048:009 The oblation that ye shall offer unto the LORD shall be of
five and twenty thousand in length, and of ten thousand in breadth.
26:048:010 And for them, even for the priests, shall be this holy
oblation; toward the north five and twenty thousand in length, and
toward the west ten thousand in breadth, and toward the east ten
thousand in breadth, and toward the south five and twenty thousand in
length: and the sanctuary of the LORD shall be in the midst thereof.
26:048:011 It shall be for the priests that are sanctified of the sons
of Zadok; which have kept my charge, which went not astray when the
children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray.
26:048:012 And this oblation of the land that is offered shall be unto
them a thing most holy by the border of the Levites.
26:048:013 And over against the border of the priests the Levites shall
have five and twenty thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth:
all the length shall be five and twenty thousand, and the breadth ten
thousand.
26:048:014 And they shall not sell of it, neither exchange, nor
alienate the firstfruits of the land: for it is holy unto the LORD.
26:048:015 And the five thousand, that are left in the breadth over
against the five and twenty thousand, shall be a profane place for the
city, for dwelling, and for suburbs: and the city shall be in the midst
thereof.
26:048:016 And these shall be the measures thereof; the north side four
thousand and five hundred, and the south side four thousand and five
hundred, and on the east side four thousand and five hundred, and the
west side four thousand and five hundred.
26:048:017 And the suburbs of the city shall be toward the north two
hundred and fifty, and toward the south two hundred and fifty, and
toward the east two hundred and fifty, and toward the west two hundred
and fifty.
26:048:018 And the residue in length over against the oblation of the
holy portion shall be ten thousand eastward, and ten thousand westward:
and it shall be over against the oblation of the holy portion; and the
increase thereof shall be for food unto them that serve the city.
26:048:019 And they that serve the city shall serve it out of all the
tribes of Israel.
26:048:020 All the oblation shall be five and twenty thousand by five
and twenty thousand: ye shall offer the holy oblation foursquare, with
the possession of the city.
26:048:021 And the residue shall be for the prince, on the one side and
on the other of the holy oblation, and of the possession of the city,
over against the five and twenty thousand of the oblation toward the
east border, and westward over against the five and twenty thousand
toward the west border, over against the portions for the prince: and
it shall be the holy oblation; and the sanctuary of the house shall be
in the midst thereof.
26:048:022 Moreover from the possession of the Levites, and from the
possession of the city, being in the midst of that which is the
prince's, between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, shall
be for the prince.
26:048:023 As for the rest of the tribes, from the east side unto the
west side, Benjamin shall have a portion.
26:048:024 And by the border of Benjamin, from the east side unto the
west side, Simeon shall have a portion.
26:048:025 And by the border of Simeon, from the east side unto the
west side, Issachar a portion.
26:048:026 And by the border of Issachar, from the east side unto the
west side, Zebulun a portion.
26:048:027 And by the border of Zebulun, from the east side unto the
west side, Gad a portion.
26:048:028 And by the border of Gad, at the south side southward, the
border shall be even from Tamar unto the waters of strife in Kadesh,
and to the river toward the great sea.
26:048:029 This is the land which ye shall divide by lot unto the
tribes of Israel for inheritance, and these are their portions, saith
the Lord GOD.
26:048:030 And these are the goings out of the city on the north side,
four thousand and five hundred measures.
26:048:031 And the gates of the city shall be after the names of the
tribes of Israel: three gates northward; one gate of Reuben, one gate
of Judah, one gate of Levi.
26:048:032 And at the east side four thousand and five hundred: and
three gates; and one gate of Joseph, one gate of Benjamin, one gate of
Dan.
26:048:033 And at the south side four thousand and five hundred
measures: and three gates; one gate of Simeon, one gate of Issachar,
one gate of Zebulun.
26:048:034 At the west side four thousand and five hundred, with their
three gates; one gate of Gad, one gate of Asher, one gate of Naphtali.
26:048:035 It was round about eighteen thousand measures: and the name
of the city from that day shall be, The LORD is there.
