Genesis 27

I oscillate between my child, and my son. Clearly I could be gender specific here.

Your trident תלי. All I know is it is not a quiver אשׁפה. And I don't know that these are weapons or if venison is the target. (I have never used weapon so it would not disobey my rules to use it.)
That Isaac cannot distinguish venison from goat seems odd to me.

Hunt and game are the same stem. These are my glosses so far. There seems to be more variation than needed, but I would have to consider each case again in its context.
צוד buckler (1) chase (3) fortress (16) game (9) hound (4) hunt (20) provender (2) victual (3)

E.g. Psalm 78:25
The bread of the mighty each ate.Victuals he sent among them to satiation.

Genesis 27 Fn Min Max Syll
וַיְהִי֙ כִּֽי־זָקֵ֣ן יִצְחָ֔ק וַתִּכְהֶ֥יןָ עֵינָ֖יו מֵרְאֹ֑ת
וַיִּקְרָ֞א אֶת־עֵשָׂ֣ו ׀ בְּנ֣וֹ הַגָּדֹ֗ל וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֵלָיו֙ בְּנִ֔י וַיֹּ֥אמֶר אֵלָ֖יו הִנֵּֽנִי
1 And it was when Yitschaq was old and his eyes were dim from seeing,
and he called Esau his older son and said to him, My child. And he said to him, Here am I.
3e 4C 14
26
וַיֹּ֕אמֶר הִנֵּה־נָ֖א זָקַ֑נְתִּי
לֹ֥א יָדַ֖עְתִּי י֥וֹם מוֹתִֽי
2 And he said, Behold, if you will, I am old.
I do not know the day of my death.
3e 4A 9
7
וְעַתָּה֙ שָׂא־נָ֣א כֵלֶ֔יךָ תֶּלְיְךָ֖ וְקַשְׁתֶּ֑ךָ
וְצֵא֙ הַשָּׂדֶ֔ה וְצ֥וּדָה לִּ֖י צָֽיִד
3 So now lift up please, your instruments, your trident and your bow,
and go out into the field and hunt for me, game.
3e 4B 15
11
וַעֲשֵׂה־לִ֨י מַטְעַמִּ֜ים כַּאֲשֶׁ֥ר אָהַ֛בְתִּי וְהָבִ֥יאָה לִּ֖י וְאֹכֵ֑לָה
בַּעֲב֛וּר תְּבָרֶכְךָ֥ נַפְשִׁ֖י בְּטֶ֥רֶם אָמֽוּת
4 And make for me tasty dishes such as I have loved, and have it brought to me,
and I will eat, so that I may bless you before I die.
3d 4A 22
14
וְרִבְקָ֣ה שֹׁמַ֔עַת בְּדַבֵּ֣ר יִצְחָ֔ק אֶל־עֵשָׂ֖ו בְּנ֑וֹ

6 And Rebekah said to Jacob her son, saying,
Behold, I have heard your father speaking to Esau your brother, saying,

הָבִ֨יאָה לִּ֥י צַ֛יִד וַעֲשֵׂה־לִ֥י מַטְעַמִּ֖ים וְאֹכֵ֑לָה

for what I command you.

לֶךְ־נָא֙ אֶל־הַצֹּ֔אן וְקַֽח־לִ֣י מִשָּׁ֗ם שְׁנֵ֛י גְּדָיֵ֥י עִזִּ֖ים טֹבִ֑ים

9 Go now to the flock, and take for me from there two young kids of she-goats, good ones,

הֵ֣ן עֵשָׂ֤ו אָחִי֙ אִ֣ישׁ שָׂעִ֔ר וְאָנֹכִ֖י אִ֥ישׁ חָלָֽק
11 And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother,
Lo Esau my brother is a man of hair, and I, a man of smoothness.
3e 4C 11
15
אוּלַ֤י יְמֻשֵּׁ֙נִי֙ אָבִ֔י וְהָיִ֥יתִי בְעֵינָ֖יו כִּמְתַעְתֵּ֑עַ
וְהֵבֵאתִ֥י עָלַ֛י קְלָלָ֖ה וְלֹ֥א בְרָכָֽה
12 Perhaps my father will draw me out, and I will be in his eyes as one who misuses,
that I will bring on me a slight, and not a blessing.
3d 4C 19
14
וַתֹּ֤אמֶר לוֹ֙ אִמּ֔וֹ עָלַ֥י קִלְלָתְךָ֖ בְּנִ֑י

וַתַּ֤עַשׂ אִמּוֹ֙ מַטְעַמִּ֔ים כַּאֲשֶׁ֖ר אָהֵ֥ב אָבִֽיו
14 So he went, and he took, and he came to his mother,
and his mother made tasty dishes such as his father loved.
3e 4C 12
15
וַתִּקַּ֣ח רִ֠בְקָה אֶת־בִּגְדֵ֨י עֵשָׂ֜ו בְּנָ֤הּ הַגָּדֹל֙ הַחֲמֻדֹ֔ת אֲשֶׁ֥ר אִתָּ֖הּ בַּבָּ֑יִת

Psalm 112

This post continues the one on Psalm 111. Each of the gem-like acrostic poems celebrates Psalm 110, the germ of incarnation, Yahweh's anointed embodying Yahweh.

The one who fears God is compared to Yahweh in these two poems. Such a person is a disciplined blogger, he will rein in his words with judgment.

Psalms 112 Fn Min Max Syll
הַ֥לְלוּ יָ֨הּ ׀ אַשְׁרֵי־אִ֭ישׁ יָרֵ֣א אֶת־יְהוָ֑ה
בְּ֝מִצְוֺתָ֗יו חָפֵ֥ץ מְאֹֽד
1 f Hallelu Yah. A happy person fears Yahweh.
By his commandments he has much delight.

זָ֘רַ֤ח בַּחֹ֣שֶׁךְ א֭וֹר לַיְשָׁרִ֑ים

He is gracious and compassionate and righteous.
3e 4C 9
8
טֽוֹב־אִ֭ישׁ חוֹנֵ֣ן וּמַלְוֶ֑ה
יְכַלְכֵּ֖ל דְּבָרָ֣יו בְּמִשְׁפָּֽט
5 This is a good person, gracious and lending.
Yea, he will rein in his words with judgment.
3e 4B 7
9
כִּֽי־לְעוֹלָ֥ם לֹא־יִמּ֑וֹט
לְזֵ֥כֶר ע֝וֹלָ֗ם יִהְיֶ֥ה צַדִּֽיק

מִשְּׁמוּעָ֣ה רָ֭עָה לֹ֣א יִירָ֑א

Now his heart is prepared, trusting in Yahweh.

קַ֝רְנ֗וֹ תָּר֥וּם בְּכָבֽוֹד
9 Prodigal of love, he gives to the-many needy.
Standing for ever is his righteousness.
Quite full his horn, exalted in glory.
3e 4C 16
7
רָ֘שָׁ֤ע יִרְאֶ֨ה ׀ וְכָעָ֗ס שִׁנָּ֣יו יַחֲרֹ֣ק וְנָמָ֑ס
תַּאֲוַ֖ת רְשָׁעִ֣ים תֹּאבֵֽד
10 ~ Rebel will see and will grieve.
So will his teeth gnash and decay.
The desire of rebels will perish.

This is a very funny story. So enjoy. Time and season are issues. Daniel requests a season זמן. But the king is not predisposed to the magicians to give them עדן. The time to do the task.

Discovering glosses is curious for this change of language to Aramaic. I am even trying to make the English varied from itself. We'll see if that is possible when more is done. Lots of smoothing possibilities here - maybe later...

וּבִשְׁנַ֣ת שְׁתַּ֗יִם לְמַלְכוּת֙ נְבֻֽכַדְנֶצַּ֔ר חָלַ֥ם נְבֻֽכַדְנֶצַּ֖ר חֲלֹמ֑וֹת
וַתִּתְפָּ֣עֶם רוּח֔וֹ וּשְׁנָת֖וֹ נִהְיְתָ֥ה עָלָֽיו
1 And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams,
and beaten down was his spirit and his sleep was against him.
3e 4B 23
14
וַיֹּ֣אמֶר הַ֠מֶּלֶךְ לִקְרֹ֨א לַֽחַרְטֻמִּ֜ים וְלָֽאַשָּׁפִ֗ים וְלַֽמְכַשְּׁפִים֙ וְלַכַּשְׂדִּ֔ים לְהַגִּ֥יד לַמֶּ֖לֶךְ חֲלֹמֹתָ֑יו
וַיָּבֹ֕אוּ וַיַּֽעַמְד֖וּ לִפְנֵ֥י הַמֶּֽלֶךְ
2 And the king said to call the magicians, and the astrologists, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, to make clear to the king his dreams,
and they came and they stood in the presence of the king.
3e 4B 35
12
וַיֹּ֧אמֶר לָהֶ֛ם הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ חֲל֣וֹם חָלָ֑מְתִּי
וַתִּפָּ֣עֶם רוּחִ֔י לָדַ֖עַת אֶֽת־הַחֲלֽוֹם
3 And the king said to them, A dream I have dreamed,
and beaten down is my spirit to know the dream.
3c 4B 13
13
וַֽיְדַבְּר֧וּ הַכַּשְׂדִּ֛ים לַמֶּ֖לֶךְ אֲרָמִ֑ית
מַלְכָּא֙ לְעָלְמִ֣ין חֱיִ֔י אֱמַ֥ר חֶלְמָ֛א לְעַבְדָ֖ךְ וּפִשְׁרָ֥א נְחַוֵּֽא
4 And the Chaldeans spoke to the king in Aramaic,
May the king forever live. Talk about the dream to your servant, and the key, we will divulge.
3c 4B 12
20
עָנֵ֤ה מַלְכָּא֙ וְאָמַ֣ר לְכַשְׂדָּאֵ֔י מִלְּתָ֖א מִנִּ֣י אַזְדָּ֑א
הֵ֣ן לָ֤א תְהֽוֹדְעוּנַּ֙נִי֙ חֶלְמָ֣א וּפִשְׁרֵ֔הּ הַדָּמִין֙ תִּתְעַבְד֔וּן וּבָתֵּיכ֖וֹן נְוָלִ֥י יִתְּשָׂמֽוּן
5 The king answered and said to the Chaldeans,
The thing from me has vanished. If you do not make known to me the dream and its key, your members will be done for, and your houses will be put into a dunghill.
3e 4C 17
28
וְהֵ֨ן חֶלְמָ֤א וּפִשְׁרֵהּ֙ תְּֽהַחֲוֺ֔ן מַתְּנָ֤ן וּנְבִזְבָּה֙ וִיקָ֣ר שַׂגִּ֔יא תְּקַבְּל֖וּן מִן־קֳדָמָ֑י
לָהֵ֕ן חֶלְמָ֥א וּפִשְׁרֵ֖הּ הַחֲוֺֽנִי
6 And if the dream and its key you divulge, endowments and award and huge esteem you will undergo from me.
If the dream and its key you divulge.
3e 4C 27
11
עֲנ֥וֹ תִנְיָנ֖וּת וְאָמְרִ֑ין
מַלְכָּ֕א חֶלְמָ֛א יֵאמַ֥ר לְעַבְד֖וֹהִי וּפִשְׁרָ֥ה נְהַחֲוֵֽה
7 They answered a second time and they said,
Let the king talk about the dream to his servants, and its key we will divulge.
3d 4A 8
17
עָנֵ֤ה מַלְכָּא֙ וְאָמַ֔ר מִן־יַצִּיב֙ יָדַ֣ע אֲנָ֔ה דִּ֥י עִדָּנָ֖א אַנְתּ֣וּן זָבְנִ֑ין
כָּל־קֳבֵל֙ דִּ֣י חֲזֵית֔וֹן דִּ֥י אַזְדָּ֖א מִנִּ֥י מִלְּתָֽא
8 The king answered and said, For certainty I know that you want to gain time,
all because you perceive that the thing has vanished from me.
3e 4C 22
14
דִּ֣י הֵן־חֶלְמָא֩ לָ֨א תְהֽוֹדְעֻנַּ֜נִי חֲדָה־הִ֣יא דָֽתְכ֗וֹן וּמִלָּ֨ה כִדְבָ֤ה וּשְׁחִיתָה֙ הִזְדְּמִנְתּוּן֙ לְמֵאמַ֣ר קָֽדָמַ֔י עַ֛ד דִּ֥י עִדָּנָ֖א יִשְׁתַּנֵּ֑א
לָהֵ֗ן חֶלְמָא֙ אֱמַ֣רוּ לִ֔י וְֽאִנְדַּ֕ע דִּ֥י פִשְׁרֵ֖הּ תְּהַחֲוֻנַּֽנִי
9 B But if the dream, you will not make known to me, one dictate there is for you, for lying and impaired speech you cooked up together to say before me, until the time adjust itself.
So if you say the dream to me, then I will know that you divulge to me its key.
3d 4C 41
20
עֲנ֨וֹ כַשְׂדָּאֵ֤י קֳדָם־מַלְכָּא֙ וְאָ֣מְרִ֔ין לָֽא־אִיתַ֤י אֲנָשׁ֙ עַל־יַבֶּשְׁתָּ֔א דִּ֚י מִלַּ֣ת מַלְכָּ֔א יוּכַ֖ל לְהַחֲוָיָ֑ה
כָּל־קֳבֵ֗ל דִּ֚י כָּל־מֶ֙לֶךְ֙ רַ֣ב וְשַׁלִּ֔יט מִלָּ֤ה כִדְנָה֙ לָ֣א שְׁאֵ֔ל לְכָל־חַרְטֹּ֖ם וְאָשַׁ֥ף וְכַשְׂדָּֽי
10 The Chaldeans answered before the king, and they said, There is not a mortal on the planet that is able to divulge the thing of the king,
all because no king, overlord, or authority, would ask this thing of any magician or astrologist or Chaldean.
3e 4C 33
28
וּמִלְּתָ֨א דִֽי־מַלְכָּ֤ה שָׁאֵל֙ יַקִּירָ֔ה וְאָחֳרָן֙ לָ֣א אִיתַ֔י דִּ֥י יְחַוִּנַּ֖הּ קֳדָ֣ם מַלְכָּ֑א
לָהֵ֣ן אֱלָהִ֔ין דִּ֚י מְדָ֣רְה֔וֹן עִם־בִּשְׂרָ֖א לָ֥א אִיתֽוֹהִי
11 And the thing that the king asks is rare, and no other there is that can divulge before the king,
except the gods whose tenancy is not with flesh.
3e 4C 27
16
כָּל־קֳבֵ֣ל דְּנָ֔ה מַלְכָּ֕א בְּנַ֖ס וּקְצַ֣ף שַׂגִּ֑יא
וַאֲמַר֙ לְה֣וֹבָדָ֔ה לְכֹ֖ל חַכִּימֵ֥י בָבֶֽל
12 All because of this the king ranted and raged hugely,
and promised to eliminate all the wise of Babel.
3e 4B 13
14
וְדָתָ֣א נֶפְקַ֔ת וְחַכִּֽימַיָּ֖א מִֽתְקַטְּלִ֑ין
וּבְע֛וֹ דָּנִיֵּ֥אל וְחַבְר֖וֹהִי לְהִתְקְטָלָֽה
13 And dictate was appropriated that the wise should be killed,
and they sought Daniel and his companions to kill them.
3d 4B 13
15
בֵּאדַ֣יִן דָּנִיֵּ֗אל הֲתִיב֙ עֵטָ֣א וּטְעֵ֔ם לְאַרְי֕וֹךְ רַב־טַבָּחַיָּ֖א דִּ֣י מַלְכָּ֑א
דִּ֚י נְפַ֣ק לְקַטָּלָ֔ה לְחַכִּימֵ֖י בָּבֶֽל
14 Then Daniel responded with prudence and discretion to Ariok overlord of the slaughterers of the king,
who were appropriating the killing of the wise of Babel.
3e 4C 23
13
עָנֵ֣ה וְאָמַ֗ר לְאַרְיוֹךְ֙ שַׁלִּיטָ֣א דִֽי־מַלְכָּ֔א עַל־מָ֥ה דָתָ֛א מְהַחְצְפָ֖ה מִן־קֳדָ֣ם מַלְכָּ֑א
אֱדַ֣יִן מִלְּתָ֔א הוֹדַ֥ע אַרְי֖וֹךְ לְדָנִיֵּֽאל
15 He answered and said to Ariok, the authority of the king, Why is the dictate so hasty from before the king?
Then Ariok made known the thing to Daniel.
3d 4B 27
13
וְדָ֣נִיֵּ֔אל עַ֖ל וּבְעָ֣ה מִן־מַלְכָּ֑א
דִּ֚י זְמָ֣ן יִנְתֵּן־לֵ֔הּ וּפִשְׁרָ֖א לְהַֽחֲוָיָ֥ה לְמַלְכָּֽא
16 And Daniel went in and solicited from the king,
if a season would be given for him, and the key he would divulge for the king.
3e 4C 11
17
אֱדַ֥יִן דָּֽנִיֵּ֖אל לְבַיְתֵ֣הּ אֲזַ֑ל
וְ֠לַחֲנַנְיָה מִֽישָׁאֵ֧ל וַעֲזַרְיָ֛ה חַבְר֖וֹהִי מִלְּתָ֥א הוֹדַֽע
17 Then Daniel went to his house,
and to Hananiah Mishael and Azariah, his companions, he made known the thing.
3c 4B 11
19
וְרַחֲמִ֗ין לְמִבְעֵא֙ מִן־קֳדָם֙ אֱלָ֣הּ שְׁמַיָּ֔א עַל־רָזָ֖ה דְּנָ֑ה
דִּ֣י לָ֤א יְהֹֽבְדוּן֙ דָּנִיֵּ֣אל וְחַבְר֔וֹהִי עִם־שְׁאָ֖ר חַכִּימֵ֥י בָבֶֽל
18 And they would seek compassions from before the God of the heavens about this enigma,
that Daniel and his companions might not perish with the residue of the wise of Babel.
3e 4C 20
21
אֱדַ֗יִן לְדָנִיֵּ֛אל בְּחֶזְוָ֥א דִֽי־לֵילְיָ֖א רָזָ֣ה גֲלִ֑י
אֱדַ֙יִן֙ דָּֽנִיֵּ֔אל בָּרִ֖ךְ לֶאֱלָ֥הּ שְׁמַיָּֽא
19 Then to Daniel in a vision that night, the enigma was disclosed.
Then Daniel blessed the God of the heavens.
3d 4B 17
14
עָנֵ֤ה דָֽנִיֵּאל֙ וְאָמַ֔ר לֶהֱוֵ֨א שְׁמֵ֤הּ דִּֽי־אֱלָהָא֙ מְבָרַ֔ךְ מִן־עָלְמָ֖א וְעַ֣ד־עָלְמָ֑א
דִּ֧י חָכְמְתָ֛א וּגְבוּרְתָ֖א דִּ֥י לֵֽהּ־הִֽיא
20 Daniel answered and said, Let the name of God be a blessing from one era to another era,
that wisdom and valour are his.
3c 4C 27
10
וְ֠הוּא מְהַשְׁנֵ֤א עִדָּנַיָּא֙ וְזִמְנַיָּ֔א מְהַעְדֵּ֥ה מַלְכִ֖ין וּמְהָקֵ֣ים מַלְכִ֑ין
יָהֵ֤ב חָכְמְתָא֙ לְחַכִּימִ֔ין וּמַנְדְּעָ֖א לְיָדְעֵ֥י בִינָֽה
21 ~ And he adjusts the time and the season. He deposes kings and he places kings.
He provides wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who know discernment.
3e 4C 23
18
ה֛וּא גָּלֵ֥א עַמִּיקָתָ֖א וּמְסַתְּרָתָ֑א
יָדַע֙ מָ֣ה בַחֲשׁוֹכָ֔א וּנְהוֹרָ֖א עִמֵּ֥הּ שְׁרֵֽא
22 d He discloses the deep and the hidden.
He knows what is in the darkness, and the radiance with him is loosened.
3d 4B 11
14
לָ֣ךְ ׀ אֱלָ֣הּ אֲבָהָתִ֗י מְהוֹדֵ֤א וּמְשַׁבַּח֙ אֲנָ֔ה דִּ֧י חָכְמְתָ֛א וּגְבוּרְתָ֖א יְהַ֣בְתְּ לִ֑י
וּכְעַ֤ן הֽוֹדַעְתַּ֙נִי֙ דִּֽי־בְעֵ֣ינָא מִנָּ֔ךְ דִּֽי־מִלַּ֥ת מַלְכָּ֖א הוֹדַעְתֶּֽנָא
23 B To you, God of my fathers, my acclamation and commendation, that wisdom and valour you have provided to me,
and now have let me know what we sought from you, that the thing of the king you would make known.
3c 4C 26
20
כָּל־קֳבֵ֣ל דְּנָ֗ה דָּֽנִיֵּאל֙ עַ֣ל עַל־אַרְי֔וֹךְ דִּ֚י מַנִּ֣י מַלְכָּ֔א לְהוֹבָדָ֖ה לְחַכִּימֵ֣י בָבֶ֑ל
אֲזַ֣ל ׀ וְכֵ֣ן אֲמַר־לֵ֗הּ לְחַכִּימֵ֤י בָבֶל֙ אַל־תְּהוֹבֵ֔ד הַעֵ֙לְנִי֙ קֳדָ֣ם מַלְכָּ֔א וּפִשְׁרָ֖א לְמַלְכָּ֥א אֲחַוֵּֽא
24 All because of this, Daniel came to Ariok, whom the king had appointed to eliminate the wise of Babel.
He went, and thus he said to him, The wise of Babel do not eliminate. Bring me in before the king, and the key, to the king I will divulge.
3e 4C 28
33
אֱדַ֤יִן אַרְיוֹךְ֙ בְּהִתְבְּהָלָ֔ה הַנְעֵ֥ל לְדָנִיֵּ֖אל קֳדָ֣ם מַלְכָּ֑א
וְכֵ֣ן אֲמַר־לֵ֗הּ דִּֽי־הַשְׁכַּ֤חַת גְּבַר֙ מִן־בְּנֵ֤י גָֽלוּתָא֙ דִּ֣י יְה֔וּד דִּ֥י פִשְׁרָ֖א לְמַלְכָּ֥א יְהוֹדַֽע
25 Then Ariok, vexed, brought Daniel before the king,
and thus said to him, I have found one who is valiant from the children of the exiles that are Judean, who will make known the key to the king.
3e 4C 20
29
עָנֵ֤ה מַלְכָּא֙ וְאָמַ֣ר לְדָנִיֵּ֔אל דִּ֥י שְׁמֵ֖הּ בֵּלְטְשַׁאצַּ֑ר
הַֽאִיתָ֣ךְ כָּהֵ֗ל לְהוֹדָעֻתַ֛נִי חֶלְמָ֥א דִֽי־חֲזֵ֖ית וּפִשְׁרֵֽהּ
26 The king expounded and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar,
Is it so that you are able to make known to me the dream that I have perceived and its key?
3d 4C 19
18
עָנֵ֧ה דָנִיֵּ֛אל קֳדָ֥ם מַלְכָּ֖א וְאָמַ֑ר
רָזָה֙ דִּֽי־מַלְכָּ֣א שָׁאֵ֔ל לָ֧א חַכִּימִ֣ין אָֽשְׁפִ֗ין חַרְטֻמִּין֙ גָּזְרִ֔ין יָכְלִ֖ין לְהַֽחֲוָיָ֥ה לְמַלְכָּֽא
27 Daniel answered before the king, and said,
The enigma that the king has asked, the wise astrologists, magicians, adjudicators, are not able to divulge to the king,
3c 4B 13
28
בְּרַ֡ם אִיתַ֞י אֱלָ֤הּ בִּשְׁמַיָּא֙ גָּלֵ֣א רָזִ֔ין וְהוֹדַ֗ע לְמַלְכָּא֙ נְבֽוּכַדְנֶצַּ֔ר מָ֛ה דִּ֥י לֶהֱוֵ֖א בְּאַחֲרִ֣ית יוֹמַיָּ֑א
חֶלְמָ֨ךְ וְחֶזְוֵ֥י רֵאשָׁ֛ךְ עַֽל־מִשְׁכְּבָ֖ךְ דְּנָ֥ה הֽוּא
28 Yet there is a God in heaven who discloses enigmas, and makes known to the king Nebuchadnezzar, what it is that will be in the following days.
Your dream and the visions of your head on lying down are these.
3d 4C 36
14
אַ֣נְתְּה מַלְכָּ֗א רַעְיוֹנָךְ֙ עַל־מִשְׁכְּבָ֣ךְ סְלִ֔קוּ מָ֛ה דִּ֥י לֶהֱוֵ֖א אַחֲרֵ֣י דְנָ֑ה
וְגָלֵ֧א רָזַיָּ֛א הוֹדְעָ֖ךְ מָה־דִ֥י לֶהֱוֵֽא
29 B You O king, your thoughts on lying down came to what it is that will be after this,
and he who discloses enigmas will make known to you what it is that will be.
3c 4B 24
13
וַאֲנָ֗ה לָ֤א בְחָכְמָה֙ דִּֽי־אִיתַ֥י בִּי֙ מִן־כָּל־חַיַּיָּ֔א רָזָ֥א דְנָ֖ה גֱּלִ֣י לִ֑י
לָהֵ֗ן עַל־דִּבְרַת֙ דִּ֤י פִשְׁרָא֙ לְמַלְכָּ֣א יְהוֹדְע֔וּן וְרַעְיוֹנֵ֥י לִבְבָ֖ךְ תִּנְדַּֽע
30 And as for me, not that there is in me any more wisdom than any living, this enigma was disclosed to me,
but about the things that are key to the king, they will be made known, that the thoughts of your heart you may know.
3e 4C 22
22
אַ֣נְתְּה מַלְכָּ֗א חָזֵ֤ה הֲוַ֙יְתָ֙ וַאֲל֨וּ צְלֵ֥ם חַד֙ שַׂגִּ֔יא צַלְמָ֨א דִּכֵּ֥ן רַ֛ב וְזִיוֵ֥הּ יַתִּ֖יר קָאֵ֣ם לְקָבְלָ֑ךְ
וְרֵוֵ֖הּ דְּחִֽיל
31 B You, O king, perceived, and lo, one huge image. This great image, its countenance excellent, arose right in front of you.
Its appearance was perturbing.
3d 4C 32
5
ה֣וּא צַלְמָ֗א רֵאשֵׁהּ֙ דִּֽי־דְהַ֣ב טָ֔ב חֲד֥וֹהִי וּדְרָע֖וֹהִי דִּ֣י כְסַ֑ף
מְע֥וֹהִי וְיַרְכָתֵ֖הּ דִּ֥י נְחָֽשׁ
32 B This image, his head was fine gold, his chest and his arms of silver,
his abdomen and his thighs of brass,
3e 4B 19
10
שָׁק֖וֹהִי דִּ֣י פַרְזֶ֑ל
רַגְל֕וֹהִי מִנְּהֵין֙ דִּ֣י פַרְזֶ֔ל וּמִנְּהֵ֖ין דִּ֥י חֲסַֽף
33 His legs of iron,
his feet a portion of iron, and a portion of clay.
3e 4B 6
14
חָזֵ֣ה הֲוַ֗יְתָ עַ֠ד דִּ֣י הִתְגְּזֶ֤רֶת אֶ֙בֶן֙ דִּי־לָ֣א בִידַ֔יִן וּמְחָ֤ת לְצַלְמָא֙ עַל־רַגְל֔וֹהִי דִּ֥י פַרְזְלָ֖א וְחַסְפָּ֑א
וְהַדֵּ֖קֶת הִמּֽוֹן
34 You perceived until a stone was parted without hands that clapped the image on his feet that were of iron and clay,
and ground them finely.
3e 4C 32
6
בֵּאדַ֣יִן דָּ֣קוּ כַחֲדָ֡ה פַּרְזְלָא֩ חַסְפָּ֨א נְחָשָׁ֜א כַּסְפָּ֣א וְדַהֲבָ֗א וַהֲווֹ֙ כְּע֣וּר מִן־אִדְּרֵי־קַ֔יִט וּנְשָׂ֤א הִמּוֹן֙ רוּחָ֔א וְכָל־אֲתַ֖ר לָא־הִשְׁתֲּכַ֣ח לְה֑וֹן
וְאַבְנָ֣א ׀ דִּֽי־מְחָ֣ת לְצַלְמָ֗א הֲוָ֛ת לְט֥וּר רַ֖ב וּמְלָ֥ת כָּל־אַרְעָֽא
35 Then finely ground together was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver and the gold, and became as the bare chaff from the threshing-deck of summer, and the wind lifts them up and in every place, none was found for them.
And the stone that clapped the image became a great tor and filled all the earth.
3d 4C 46
19
דְּנָ֣ה חֶלְמָ֔א וּפִשְׁרֵ֖הּ נֵאמַ֥ר קֳדָם־מַלְכָּֽא 36 This is the dream, and its key we will say before the king. 3e 4B 13
אַ֣נְתְּה מַלְכָּ֔א מֶ֖לֶךְ מַלְכַיָּ֑א
דִּ֚י אֱלָ֣הּ שְׁמַיָּ֔א מַלְכוּתָ֥א חִסְנָ֛א וְתָקְפָּ֥א וִֽיקָרָ֖א יְהַב־לָֽךְ
37 B You O king, the king of kings,
the God of the heavens, the kingdom, the invincibility, and the energy, and the esteem, has provided to you.
3d 4C 9
20
וּבְכָל־דִּ֣י דָֽיְרִ֣ין בְּֽנֵי־אֲ֠נָשָׁא חֵיוַ֨ת בָּרָ֤א וְעוֹף־שְׁמַיָּא֙ יְהַ֣ב בִּידָ֔ךְ וְהַשְׁלְטָ֖ךְ בְּכָלְּה֑וֹן
אַנְתְּה־ה֔וּא רֵאשָׁ֖ה דִּ֥י דַהֲבָֽא
38 And everywhere that the children of the mortal are tenants, the animals of the field and the fowl of the heavens, he has provided into your hand, and he has made you authority over them all.
You are that head of gold.
3e 4C 29
9
וּבָתְרָ֗ךְ תְּק֛וּם מַלְכ֥וּ אָחֳרִ֖י אֲרַ֣עא מִנָּ֑ךְ
וּמַלְכ֨וּ תְלִיתָאָ֤ה אָחֳרִי֙ דִּ֣י נְחָשָׁ֔א דִּ֥י תִשְׁלַ֖ט בְּכָל־אַרְעָֽא
39 And in your place another kingdom will arise more earthbound than you,
and another third kingdom of brass that will have authority in all the earth.
3d 4C 14
21
וּמַלְכוּ֙ רְבִ֣יעָאָ֔ה תֶּהֱוֵ֥א תַקִּיפָ֖ה כְּפַרְזְלָ֑א
כָּל־קֳבֵ֗ל דִּ֤י פַרְזְלָא֙ מְהַדֵּ֤ק וְחָשֵׁל֙ כֹּ֔לָּא וּֽכְפַרְזְלָ֛א דִּֽי־מְרָעַ֥ע כָּל־אִלֵּ֖ין תַּדִּ֥ק וְתֵרֹֽעַ
40 And the fourth kingdom will be energetic like iron.
All because iron finely grinds and overcomes all, and as iron that injures all these, it will finely grind and injure.
3d 4C 17
32
וְדִֽי־חֲזַ֜יְתָה רַגְלַיָּ֣א וְאֶצְבְּעָתָ֗א מִנְּהֵ֞ן חֲסַ֤ף דִּֽי־פֶחָר֙ וּמִנְּהֵ֣ין פַּרְזֶ֔ל מַלְכ֤וּ פְלִיגָה֙ תֶּהֱוֵ֔ה וּמִן־נִצְבְּתָ֥א דִ֥י פַרְזְלָ֖א לֶֽהֱוֵא־בַ֑הּ
כָּל־קֳבֵל֙ דִּ֣י חֲזַ֔יְתָה פַּ֨רְזְלָ֔א מְעָרַ֖ב בַּחֲסַ֥ף טִינָֽא
41 And that you perceived feet and toes, a portion of artisan clay, and a portion of iron, the kingdom will be entangled but there will be the firmness of iron in it.
All because you perceived iron intermingled with miry clay.
3e 4C 44
18
וְאֶצְבְּעָת֙ רַגְלַיָּ֔א מִנְּהֵ֥ין פַּרְזֶ֖ל וּמִנְּהֵ֣ין חֲסַ֑ף
מִן־קְצָ֤ת מַלְכוּתָא֙ תֶּהֱוֵ֣ה תַקִּיפָ֔ה וּמִנַּ֖הּ תֶּהֱוֵ֥ה תְבִירָֽה
42 And the toes of the feet were a portion of iron and a portion of clay.
From the extremity of the kingdom will be energy, but a portion will be brokenness.
3e 4C 16
21
וְדִ֣י חֲזַ֗יְתָ פַּרְזְלָא֙ מְעָרַב֙ בַּחֲסַ֣ף טִינָ֔א מִתְעָרְבִ֤ין לֶהֱוֺן֙ בִּזְרַ֣ע אֲנָשָׁ֔א וְלָֽא־לֶהֱוֺ֥ן דָּבְקִ֖ין דְּנָ֣ה עִם־דְּנָ֑ה
הֵֽא־כְדִ֣י פַרְזְלָ֔א לָ֥א מִתְעָרַ֖ב עִם־חַסְפָּֽא
43 And that you perceived iron intermingled with miry clay, intermingled they will be with mortal seed, but they will not cling this one with this other,
(of course) in that iron not will intermingle with clay.
3e 4C 39
13
וּֽבְיוֹמֵיה֞וֹן דִּ֧י מַלְכַיָּ֣א אִנּ֗וּן יְקִים֩ אֱלָ֨הּ שְׁמַיָּ֤א מַלְכוּ֙ דִּ֤י לְעָלְמִין֙ לָ֣א תִתְחַבַּ֔ל וּמַ֨לְכוּתָ֔ה לְעַ֥ם אָחֳרָ֖ן לָ֣א תִשְׁתְּבִ֑ק
תַּדִּ֤ק וְתָסֵיף֙ כָּל־אִלֵּ֣ין מַלְכְוָתָ֔א וְהִ֖יא תְּק֥וּם לְעָלְמַיָּֽא
44 And in the days of these kings the God of the heavens will raise up a kingdom that will be forever. It will not be marginalized and the kingdom to another people will not be left.
It will finely grind and it will conclude all these kingdoms, and it will take its place forever.

45 All because you have perceived that from the tor a stone parted itself without hands, and ground finely the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold, a great God has made known to the king what it is that will be after this.
And certain, the dream, and faithful, its key.
3d 4C 55
10
בֵּ֠אדַיִן מַלְכָּ֤א נְבֽוּכַדְנֶצַּר֙ נְפַ֣ל עַל־אַנְפּ֔וֹהִי וּלְדָנִיֵּ֖אל סְגִ֑ד
וּמִנְחָה֙ וְנִ֣יחֹחִ֔ין אֲמַ֖ר לְנַסָּ֥כָה לֵֽהּ
46 ~ Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face and to Daniel did homage,
and he said to offer libation, gift and repose, to him.
3e 4C 22
14
עָנֵה֩ מַלְכָּ֨א לְדָנִיֵּ֜אל וְאָמַ֗ר מִן־קְשֹׁט֙ דִּ֣י אֱלָהֲכ֗וֹן ה֣וּא אֱלָ֧הּ אֱלָהִ֛ין וּמָרֵ֥א מַלְכִ֖ין וְגָלֵ֣ה רָזִ֑ין
דִּ֣י יְכֵ֔לְתָּ לְמִגְלֵ֖א רָזָ֥ה דְנָֽה
47 The king answered Daniel and said, For definitely, your God, he is the God of gods, and Lord of kings, and who discloses enigmas,
for you were able to disclose this enigma.
3c 4B 36
11
אֱדַ֨יִן מַלְכָּ֜א לְדָנִיֵּ֣אל רַבִּ֗י וּמַתְּנָ֨ן רַבְרְבָ֤ן שַׂגִּיאָן֙ יְהַב־לֵ֔הּ וְהַ֨שְׁלְטֵ֔הּ עַ֖ל כָּל־מְדִינַ֣ת בָּבֶ֑ל
וְרַב־סִגְנִ֔ין עַ֖ל כָּל־חַכִּימֵ֥י בָבֶֽל
48 Then the king made much of Daniel and he provided many great endowments to him, and he made him authority over all the province of Babel,
and overlord of the prefects over all the wise of Babel.
3e 4C 34
11
וְדָנִיֵּאל֙ בְּעָ֣א מִן־מַלְכָּ֔א וּמַנִּ֗י עַ֤ל עֲבִֽידְתָּא֙ דִּ֚י מְדִינַ֣ת בָּבֶ֔ל לְשַׁדְרַ֥ךְ מֵישַׁ֖ךְ וַעֲבֵ֣ד נְג֑וֹ
וְדָנִיֵּ֖אל בִּתְרַ֥ע מַלְכָּֽא
49 And Daniel sought from the king, and he appointed over the administration of the province of Babel, Shadrak, Mishak, and Abed-Nego,
and Daniel was at the gate the King.

Psalms 111

Slowing down? Yes to some extent. So to keep up a single post per day, I am going to intersperse a Psalm every few days. I will try to cover the Psalms related to the Revised Common Lectionary during the week.

Here then is Psalm 111, one of a doublet of Acrostics (111-112). An acrostic celebrates the Psalm that precedes it. To have two acrostics following a Psalm is celebration indeed. In Psalms 111 and 112 we have a unique celebration of Psalm 110. (The link is to my translation from 2010. At the bottom of the linked page I have appended the current version of the Psalm.)

From my post in 2010
The most delightful rendition of this acrostic is here. In my earlier translation I did not begin to attempt an acrostic since Mary Herbert Countess of Pembroke had done such a lovely job. I can't help thinking that following the astonishing Psalm 110, these next two acrostics are simply play - the same that played before the foundation of the world. 
Psalms 111 Fn Min Max Syll
הַ֥לְלוּ יָ֨הּ ׀ אוֹדֶ֣ה יְ֭הוָה בְּכָל־לֵבָ֑ב
בְּס֖וֹד יְשָׁרִ֣ים וְעֵדָֽה
1 f Hallelu Yah. I will thank Yahweh with a whole heart,
Before the council of the upright, and assembly.

Letting them have the heritage of the nations.
3e 4B 10

8
סְמוּכִ֣ים לָעַ֣ד לְעוֹלָ֑ם

All done in truth and upright.

פְּד֤וּת ׀ שָׁ֘לַ֤ח לְעַמּ֗וֹ צִוָּֽה־לְעוֹלָ֥ם בְּרִית֑וֹ
קָד֖וֹשׁ וְנוֹרָ֣א שְׁמֽוֹ
9 Purchase price he has sent to his people,
So he commands his covenant forever,
Quite holy and fearful his name.

רֵ֘אשִׁ֤ית חָכְמָ֨ה ׀ יִרְאַ֬ת יְהוָ֗ה שֵׂ֣כֶל ט֭וֹב לְכָל־עֹשֵׂיהֶ֑ם
תְּ֝הִלָּת֗וֹ עֹמֶ֥דֶת לָעַֽד
10 ~ Right at the beginning of wisdom is the fear of Yahweh,
Surely a good insight for all doing them,
To stand his praise for ever.

Ezekiel 17

The chapter begins and ends with riddle, and like one or two the parables of Jesus in Matthew, in this case, we also have an explanation from the text itself. Perhaps it is even a taste of the character of Ezekiel, visionary and poet. Many of us are sufficiently prolonged of pinion that we can't change our minds. (Joke). Verse 23 provides the image for a NT parable of the kingdom (Matthew 13:32, Luke 13:19).

Ezekiel 17 Fn Min Max Syll
וַיְהִ֥י דְבַר־יְהוָ֖ה אֵלַ֥י לֵאמֹֽר 1 And the word of Yahweh happened to me, saying, 3e 3g 10
בֶּן־אָדָ֕ם ח֥וּד חִידָ֖ה וּמְשֹׁ֣ל מָשָׁ֑ל
אֶל־בֵּ֖ית יִשְׂרָאֵֽל
2 Child of humanity, riddle a riddle, and parable a parable,
to the house of Israel.
3e 4B 10
5
וְאָמַרְתָּ֞ כֹּה־אָמַ֣ר ׀ אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֗ה הַנֶּ֤שֶׁר הַגָּדוֹל֙ גְּד֤וֹל הַכְּנָפַ֙יִם֙ אֶ֣רֶךְ הָאֵ֔בֶר מָלֵא֙ הַנּוֹצָ֔ה אֲשֶׁר־ל֖וֹ הָֽרִקְמָ֑ה
בָּ֚א אֶל־הַלְּבָנ֔וֹן וַיִּקַּ֖ח אֶת־צַמֶּ֥רֶת הָאָֽרֶז
3 And say, thus says my Lord Yahweh, The great eagle of great wings, prolonged of pinion, full of plumage that was its embroidery,
had come to Lebanon and he took from the woolly foliage of the cedar.
3e 4C 39
15
אֵ֛ת רֹ֥אשׁ יְנִֽיקוֹתָ֖יו קָטָ֑ף
וַיְבִיאֵ֙הוּ֙ אֶל־אֶ֣רֶץ כְּנַ֔עַן בְּעִ֥יר רֹכְלִ֖ים שָׂמֽוֹ
4 d The top of innocent twigs, it plucked,
and they brought it to the land of shopkeepers. In the city of merchants they set it.
3d 4B 8
16
וַיִּקַּח֙ מִזֶּ֣רַע הָאָ֔רֶץ וַֽיִּתְּנֵ֖הוּ בִּשְׂדֵה־זָ֑רַע
קָ֚ח עַל־מַ֣יִם רַבִּ֔ים צַפְצָפָ֖ה שָׂמֽוֹ
5 And he took from the seed of the land and gave it into a seeded field.
It took. By many cascading waters, he set it.
3e 4C 17
10
וַיִּצְמַ֡ח וַיְהִי֩ לְגֶ֨פֶן סֹרַ֜חַת שִׁפְלַ֣ת קוֹמָ֗ה לִפְנ֤וֹת דָּלִיּוֹתָיו֙ אֵלָ֔יו וְשָׁרָשָׁ֖יו תַּחְתָּ֣יו יִֽהְי֑וּ
וַתְּהִ֣י לְגֶ֔פֶן וַתַּ֣עַשׂ בַּדִּ֔ים וַתְּשַׁלַּ֖ח פֹּארֽוֹת
6 And it grew and became a sprawling vine, humble of place. Its tresses faced him and its roots were under him, and it became as a vine,
and it made shafts and it sent out adornments.
3e 4C 31
15
וַיְהִ֤י נֶֽשֶׁר־אֶחָד֙ גָּד֔וֹל גְּד֥וֹל כְּנָפַ֖יִם וְרַב־נוֹצָ֑ה

7 And there was another great eagle of great wings and abundant plumage,
and behold this vine faced its roots to him. Its tresses it sent out to him, that he might irrigate it from the terraces of its plantings.
3c 4C 17
36
אֶל־שָׂ֥דֶה טּ֛וֹב אֶל־מַ֥יִם רַבִּ֖ים הִ֣יא שְׁתוּלָ֑ה
לַעֲשׂ֤וֹת עָנָף֙ וְלָשֵׂ֣את פֶּ֔רִי לִהְי֖וֹת לְגֶ֥פֶן אַדָּֽרֶת
8 To a good field, to many waters it was transplanted,
to make bough and to bear fruit, to become a majestic vine.
3d 4C 12
18
אֱמֹ֗ר כֹּ֥ה אָמַ֛ר אֲדֹנָ֥י יְהֹוִ֖ה תִּצְלָ֑ח
הֲלוֹא֩ אֶת־שָׁרָשֶׁ֨יהָ יְנַתֵּ֜ק וְאֶת־פִּרְיָ֣הּ ׀ יְקוֹסֵ֣ס וְיָבֵ֗שׁ כָּל־טַרְפֵּ֤י צִמְחָהּ֙ תִּיבָ֔שׁ וְלֹֽא־בִזְרֹ֤עַ גְּדוֹלָה֙ וּבְעַם־רָ֔ב לְמַשְׂא֥וֹת אוֹתָ֖הּ מִשָּׁרָשֶֽׁיהָ
9 Say, Thus says my Lord Yahweh, It will prosper?
Her roots, will he not snap and her fruit amputate? And it will dry up. All preying growth will dry up. And no great arm or abundant people will lift it up by its root.
3d 4C 13
48
וְהִנֵּ֥ה שְׁתוּלָ֖ה הֲתִצְלָ֑ח
הֲלוֹא֩ כְגַ֨עַת בָּ֜הּ ר֤וּחַ הַקָּדִים֙ תִּיבַ֣שׁ יָבֹ֔שׁ עַל־עֲרֻגֹ֥ת צִמְחָ֖הּ תִּיבָֽשׁ
10 So behold, transplanted, will it prosper?
Will the east wind not touch it and it will dry up? Over the terraces of its growth, it will dry up.
3e 4C 9
23
וַיְהִ֥י דְבַר־יְהוָ֖ה אֵלַ֥י לֵאמֹֽר 11 And the word of Yahweh happened to me, saying, 3e 3g 10
אֱמָר־נָא֙ לְבֵ֣ית הַמֶּ֔רִי הֲלֹ֥א יְדַעְתֶּ֖ם מָה־אֵ֑לֶּה
אֱמֹ֗ר הִנֵּה־בָ֨א מֶֽלֶךְ־בָּבֶ֤ל יְרוּשָׁלִַ֙ם֙ וַיִּקַּ֤ח אֶת־מַלְכָּהּ֙ וְאֶת־שָׂרֶ֔יהָ וַיָּבֵ֥א אוֹתָ֛ם אֵלָ֖יו בָּבֶֽלָה
12 Say, please, to the house of provocation, Do you not know what these are?
Say, Behold, the king of Babel entered Jerusalem, and he took the king and her nobility, and he brought them to himself toward Babel.
3d 4C 16
34
וַיִּקַּח֙ מִזֶּ֣רַע הַמְּלוּכָ֔ה וַיִּכְרֹ֥ת אִתּ֖וֹ בְּרִ֑ית
וַיָּבֵ֤א אֹתוֹ֙ בְּאָלָ֔ה וְאֶת־אֵילֵ֥י הָאָ֖רֶץ לָקָֽח
13 And he took from the seed of royalty, and he cut a covenant with him,
and he brought him into an avowal, and the potentates of the land, he has taken,
3e 4C 16
17
לִֽהְיוֹת֙ מַמְלָכָ֣ה שְׁפָלָ֔ה לְבִלְתִּ֖י הִתְנַשֵּׂ֑א
לִשְׁמֹ֥ר אֶת־בְּרִית֖וֹ לְעָמְדָֽהּ
14 To be a humble kingdom that would not lift itself up,
to keep his covenant, that it might stand.
3e 4B 14
9
וַיִּמְרָד־בּ֗וֹ לִשְׁלֹ֤חַ מַלְאָכָיו֙ מִצְרַ֔יִם לָֽתֶת־ל֥וֹ סוּסִ֖ים וְעַם־רָ֑ב
הֲיִצְלָ֤ח הֲיִמָּלֵט֙ הָעֹשֵׂ֣ה אֵ֔לֶּה וְהֵפֵ֥ר בְּרִ֖ית וְנִמְלָֽט
15 And he mutinied against him by sending out his messengers to Egypt to give him horses and abundant people.
Will it thrive? Will one who does an avowal escape, and annul a covenant, and escape?
3e 4C 20
20
חַי־אָ֗נִי נְאֻם֮ אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִה֒ אִם־לֹ֗א בִּמְקוֹם֙ הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ הַמַּמְלִ֣יךְ אֹת֔וֹ אֲשֶׁ֤ר בָּזָה֙ אֶת־אָ֣לָת֔וֹ וַאֲשֶׁ֥ר הֵפֵ֖ר אֶת־בְּרִית֑וֹ
אִתּ֥וֹ בְתוֹךְ־בָּבֶ֖ל יָמֽוּת
16 I, Living, an oracle of my Lord Yahweh, Without fail, in the place of the king, the one who made him king, whose avowal he despises, and whose covenant he annulled,
with him, in the midst of Babel he will die.
3e 4C 38
8
וְלֹא֩ בְחַ֨יִל גָּד֜וֹל וּבְקָהָ֣ל רָ֗ב יַעֲשֶׂ֨ה אוֹת֤וֹ פַרְעֹה֙ בַּמִּלְחָמָ֔ה בִּשְׁפֹּ֥ךְ סֹלְלָ֖ה וּבִבְנ֣וֹת דָּיֵ֑ק
לְהַכְרִ֖ית נְפָשׁ֥וֹת רַבּֽוֹת
17 And no great force or abundant congregation will Pharaoh make for him in battle, to pour out a ramp or build a siege-wall,
to cut off many throats.
3e 4C 31
8
וּבָזָ֥ה אָלָ֖ה לְהָפֵ֣ר בְּרִ֑ית
וְהִנֵּ֨ה נָתַ֥ן יָד֛וֹ וְכָל־אֵ֥לֶּה עָשָׂ֖ה לֹ֥א יִמָּלֵֽט
18 For he despised an avowal, to annul a covenant,
and behold, he had given his hand, and all this has done. He will not escape.
3d 4B 10
17
לָכֵ֞ן כֹּה־אָמַ֨ר אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִה֮ חַי־אָנִי֒ אִם־לֹ֗א אָֽלָתִי֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר בָּזָ֔ה וּבְרִיתִ֖י אֲשֶׁ֣ר הֵפִ֑יר
וּנְתַתִּ֖יו בְּרֹאשֽׁוֹ
19 Therefore thus says my Lord Yahweh, I Living, without fail, my avowal it is that he despises, and my covenant it is that he has annulled,
and I will assign it on his own head.
3e 4B 28
6
וּפָרַשְׂתִּ֤י עָלָיו֙ רִשְׁתִּ֔י וְנִתְפַּ֖שׂ בִּמְצֽוּדָתִ֑י
וַהֲבִיאוֹתִ֣יהוּ בָבֶ֗לָה וְנִשְׁפַּטְתִּ֤י אִתּוֹ֙ שָׁ֔ם מַעֲל֖וֹ אֲשֶׁ֥ר מָֽעַל־בִּֽי
20 And I will spread over him my net, and he will be arrested in my hunt,
and I will bring him toward Babel, and I will judge him there for his trespass which he has trespassed against me.
3e 4C 15
24
וְאֵ֨ת כָּל־מִבְרָחָ֤יו בְּכָל־אֲגַפָּיו֙ בַּחֶ֣רֶב יִפֹּ֔לוּ וְהַנִּשְׁאָרִ֖ים לְכָל־ר֣וּחַ יִפָּרֵ֑שׂוּ
וִידַעְתֶּ֕ם כִּ֛י אֲנִ֥י יְהוָ֖ה דִּבַּֽרְתִּי
21 And all his fugitives in all his legions by the sword will fall, and the residue to every wind will be spread,
and you will know that I am Yahweh. I have spoken.
3d 4C 30
11
כֹּ֤ה אָמַר֙ אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֔ה וְלָקַ֣חְתִּי אָ֗נִי מִצַּמֶּ֧רֶת הָאֶ֛רֶז הָרָמָ֖ה וְנָתָ֑תִּי
מֵרֹ֤אשׁ יֹֽנְקוֹתָיו֙ רַ֣ךְ אֶקְטֹ֔ף וְשָׁתַ֣לְתִּי אָ֔נִי עַ֥ל הַר־גָּבֹ֖הַ וְתָלֽוּל
22 C Thus says my Lord Yahweh, And I myself will take from the woolly foliage of the high cedar that I will give.
From the top of its nursling shoots, a tender one I will pluck, that I myself will transplant above a haughty and venerable hill.
3c 4C 28
22
בְּהַ֨ר מְר֤וֹם יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ אֶשְׁתֳּלֶ֔נּוּ וְנָשָׂ֤א עָנָף֙ וְעָ֣שָׂה פֶ֔רִי וְהָיָ֖ה לְאֶ֣רֶז אַדִּ֑יר
וְשָׁכְנ֣וּ תַחְתָּ֗יו כֹּ֚ל צִפּ֣וֹר כָּל־כָּנָ֔ף בְּצֵ֥ל דָּלִיּוֹתָ֖יו תִּשְׁכֹּֽנָּה
23 In the mountain of the high ground of Israel I will transplant it, and it will lift up a bough, and will make fruit, and it will be a majestic cedar,
and will dwell under it every bird of every wing. In the shadow of its tresses they will dwell.
3e 4C 29
20
וְֽיָדְע֞וּ כָּל־עֲצֵ֣י הַשָּׂדֶ֗ה כִּ֣י אֲנִ֤י יְהוָה֙ הִשְׁפַּ֣לְתִּי ׀ עֵ֣ץ גָּבֹ֗הַ הִגְבַּ֙הְתִּי֙ עֵ֣ץ שָׁפָ֔ל הוֹבַ֙שְׁתִּי֙ עֵ֣ץ לָ֔ח וְהִפְרַ֖חְתִּי עֵ֣ץ יָבֵ֑שׁ

24 And all the trees of the field will know that I Yahweh have humbled a tree of stature, have given stature to a tree abased, have dried up a fresh tree, and have made flourish a dried up tree.
I am Yahweh. I have spoken and I have acted.
