01 : 01 . Now after <00310 +>achar > the death <04194 +maveth


> of Joshua <03091 +Y@howshuwa< > it came <01961 +hayah > to
pass , that the children <01121 +ben > of Israel < 03478
+Yisra>el > asked <07592 +sha>al > the LORD < 03068 +Y@hovah > ,
saying <00559 +>amar > , Who <04310 +miy > shall go <05927
+<alah > up for us against the Canaanites <03669 +K@na<aniy >
first <08462 +t@chillah > , to fight <03898 +lacham > against
them ?

01 : 02 And the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > said <00559 +>amar > ,
Judah <03063 +Y@huwdah > shall go <05927 +<alah > up : behold
<02009 +hinneh > , I have delivered <05414 +nathan > the land
<00776 +>erets > into his hand <03027 +yad > .

01 : 03 And Judah <03063 +Y@huwdah > said <00559 +> amar > unto
Simeon <08095 +Shim<own > his brother <00251 +> ach > , Come
<05927 +<alah > up with me into my lot <01486 +gowral > ,
that we may fight <03898 +lacham > against the Canaanites
<03669 +K@na<aniy > ; and I likewise <03651 +ken > will go
<01980 +halak > with thee into thy lot <01486 +gowral > . So
Simeon <08095 +Shim<own > went <03212 +yalak > with him .

01 : 04 And Judah <03063 +Y@huwdah > went <05927 +< alah > up ;
and the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > delivered <05414 +nathan > the
Canaanites <03669 +K@na<aniy > and the Perizzites < 06522
+P@rizziy > into their hand <03027 +yad > : and they slew
<05221 +nakah > of them in Bezek <00966 +Bezeq > ten <06235
+<eser > thousand <00505 +>eleph > men <00376 +>iysh > .

01 : 05 And they found <04672 +matsa> > Adonibezek < 00137
+>Adoniy - Bezeq > in Bezek <00966 +Bezeq > : and they fought
<03898 +lacham > against him , and they slew <05221 +nakah >
the Canaanites <03669 +K@na<aniy > and the Perizzites <06522
+P@rizziy > .

01 : 06 But Adonibezek <00137 +>Adoniy - Bezeq > fled <05127
+nuwc > ; and they pursued <07291 +radaph > after < 00310
+>achar > him , and caught <00270 +>achaz > him , and cut
<07112 +qatsats > off his thumbs and his great toes .

01 : 07 And Adonibezek <00137 +>Adoniy - Bezeq > said <00559
+>amar > , Threescore <07657 +shib<iym . > and ten kings
<04428 +melek > , having their thumbs and their great toes cut
<07112 +qatsats > off , gathered <03950 +laqat > [ their
meat ] under <08478 +tachath > my table <07979 +shulchan > :
as I have done <06213 +<asah > , so <03651 +ken > God <00430
+>elohiym > hath requited <07999 +shalam > me . And they
brought <00935 +bow> > him to Jerusalem <03389 +Y@ruwshalaim >
, and there <08033 +sham > he died <04191 +muwth > .

01 : 08 Now the children <01121 +ben > of Judah <03063
+Y@huwdah > had fought <03898 +lacham > against Jerusalem
<03389 +Y@ruwshalaim > , and had taken <03920 +lakad > it ,
and smitten <05221 +nakah > it with the edge <06310 +peh > of
the sword <02719 +chereb > , and set <07971 +shalach > the
city <05892 +<iyr > on fire <00784 +>esh > .

01 : 09 . And afterward <00310 +>achar > the children <01121
+ben > of Judah <3063Y@huwdah > went <03381 +yarad > down
<03381 +yarad > to fight <03898 +lacham > against the
Canaanites <03669 +K@na<aniy > , that dwelt <03427 +yashab >
in the mountain <02022 +har > , and in the south < 05045
+negeb > , and in the valley <08219 +sh@phelah > .

01 : 10 And Judah <03063 +Y@huwdah > went <03212 +yalak >
against <00413 +>el > the Canaanites <03669 +K@na<aniy > that
dwelt <03427 +yashab > in Hebron <02275 +Chebrown > : ( now
the name <08034 +shem > of Hebron <02275 +Chebrown > before
<06440 +paniym > [ was ] Kirjatharba <7153> : ) and they
slew <05221 +nakah > Sheshai <08344 +Sheshay > , and Ahiman
<00289 +>Achiyman > , and Talmai <08526 +Talmay > .

01 : 11 And from thence <08033 +sham > he went <03212 +yalak >
against <00413 +>el > the inhabitants <03427 +yashab > of
Debir <01688 +D@biyr > : and the name <08034 +shem > of Debir
<01688 +D@biyr > before <06440 +paniym > [ was ]
Kirjathsepher <07158 +Qiryath Cannah > :

01 : 12 And Caleb <03612 +Kaleb > said <00559 +> amar > , He
that smiteth <05221 +nakah > Kirjathsepher <07158 +Qiryath
Cannah > , and taketh <03920 +lakad > it , to him will I give
<05414 +nathan > Achsah <05919 +<akshuwb > my daughter <01323
+bath > to wife <00802 +>ishshah > .

01 : 13 And Othniel <06274 +<Othniy>el > the son < 01121 +ben >
of Kenaz <07073 +Q@naz > , Caleb s <03612 +Kaleb > younger
<06996 +qatan > brother <00251 +>ach > , took <03920 +lakad

+<akshuwb > his daughter <01323 +bath > to wife < 00802
+>ishshah > .

01 : 14 And it came <01961 +hayah > to pass , when she came
<00935 +bow> > [ to him ] , that she moved <05496 +cuwth >
him to ask <07592 +sha>al > of her father <1> a field <07704
+sadeh > : and she lighted <06795 +tsanach > from off <05921
+<al > [ her ] ass <02543 +chamowr > ; and Caleb <03612
+Kaleb > said <00559 +>amar > unto her , What < 04100 +mah >
wilt thou ?

01 : 15 And she said <00559 +>amar > unto him , Give <03051
+yahab > me a blessing <01293 +B@rakah > : for thou hast given
<05414 +nathan > me a south <05045 +negeb > land <00776
+>erets > ; give <05414 +nathan > me also springs <01543
+gullah > of water <04325 +mayim > . And Caleb < 03612 +Kaleb

<01543 +gullah > and the nether <08482 +tachtiy > springs
<01543 +gullah > .

01 : 16 And the children <01121 +ben > of the Kenite < 07017
+Qeyniy > , Moses <04872 +Mosheh > father <02859 +chathan >
in law <02859 +chathan > , went <05927 +<alah > up out of the
city <05892 +<iyr > of palm <08558 +tamar > trees with the
children <01121 +ben > of Judah <03063 +Y@huwdah > into the
wilderness <04057 +midbar > of Judah <03063 +Y@huwdah > ,
which <00834 +>aher > [ lieth ] in the south < 05045 +negeb >
of Arad <06166 +<Arad > ; and they went <03212 +yalak > and
dwelt <03427 +yashab > among <00854 +>eth > the people <05971
+<am > .

01 : 17 And Judah <03063 +Y@huwdah > went <03212 +yalak > with
Simeon <08095 +Shim<own > his brother <00251 +> ach > , and
they slew <05221 +nakah > the Canaanites <03669 +K@na<aniy >
that inhabited <03427 +yashab > Zephath , and utterly
destroyed <02763 +charam > it . And the name <08034 +shem >
of the city <05892 +<iyr > was called <07121 +qara> > Hormah
<02767 +Chormah > .

01 : 18 Also Judah <03063 +Y@huwdah > took <03920 +lakad >
Gaza <05804 +<Azzah > with the coast <01366 +g@buwl > thereof ,
and Askelon <00831 +>Ashq@lown > with the coast < 01366
+g@buwl > thereof , and Ekron <06138 +<Eqrown > with the coast
<01366 +g@buwl > thereof .

01 : 19 And the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > was with Judah < 03063
+Y@huwdah > ; and he drave <03423 +yarash > out [ the
inhabitants of ] the mountain <02022 +har > ; but could not
drive <03423 +yarash > out the inhabitants <03427 +yashab > of
the valley <06010 +<emeq > , because <03588 +kiy > they had
chariots <07393 +rekeb > of iron <01270 +barzel > .

01 : 20 And they gave <05414 +nathan > Hebron <02275 +Chebrown

<01696 +dabar > : and he expelled <03423 +yarash > thence
<08033 +sham > the three <07969 +shalowsh > sons <01121 +ben

01 : 21 . And the children <01121 +ben > of Benjamin < 01144
+Binyamiyn > did not drive <03423 +yarash > out the Jebusites
<02983 +Yebuwciy > that inhabited <03427 +yashab > Jerusalem
<03389 +Y@ruwshalaim > ; but the Jebusites <02983 +Yebuwciy >
dwell <03427 +yashab > with the children <01121 +ben > of
Benjamin <01144 +Binyamiyn > in Jerusalem <03389 +Y@ruwshalaim

01 : 22 And the house <01004 +bayith > of Joseph <03130
+Yowceph > , they also <01571 +gam > went <05927 +<alah > up
against Bethel <01008 +Beyth - >El > : and the LORD < 03068
+Y@hovah > [ was ] with them .

01 : 23 And the house <01004 +bayith > of Joseph <03130
+Yowceph > sent to descry <08446 +tuwr > Bethel < 01008 +Beyth -
>El > . ( Now the name <08034 +shem > of the city <05892

)

01 : 24 And the spies <08104 +shamar > saw <07200 +ra>ah > a
man <00376 +>iysh > come <03318 +yatsa> > forth <03318
+yatsa> > out of the city <05892 +<iyr > , and they said
<00559 +>amar > unto him , Shew <07200 +ra>ah > us , we pray
<04994 +na> > thee , the entrance <03996 +mabow> > into the
city <05892 +<iyr > , and we will shew <06213 +< asah > thee
mercy <02617 +checed > .

01 : 25 And when he shewed <07200 +ra>ah > them the entrance
<03996 +mabow> > into the city <05892 +<iyr > , they smote
<05221 +nakah > the city <05892 +<iyr > with the edge <06310
+peh > of the sword <02719 +chereb > ; but they let go <07971
+shalach > the man <00376 +>iysh > and all <03605 +kol > his
family <04940 +mishpachah > .

01 : 26 And the man <00376 +>iysh > went <03212 +yalak > into
the land <00776 +>erets > of the Hittites <02850 +Chittiy > ,
and built <01129 +banah > a city <05892 +<iyr > , and called
<07121 +qara> > the name <08034 +shem > thereof Luz <03870
+Luwz > : which <01931 +huw> > [ is ] the name < 08034 +shem

01 : 27 Neither <03808 +lo> > did Manasseh <04519 +M@nashsheh

<01052 +Beyth Sh@>an > and her towns <01323 +bath > , nor
Taanach <08590 +Ta<anak > and her towns <01323 +bath > , nor
the inhabitants <03427 +yashab > of Dor <01756 +Dowr > and her

nor the inhabitants <03427 +yashab > of Megiddo <04023
+M@giddown > and her towns <01323 +bath > : but the Canaanites
<03669 +K@na<aniy > would <02974 +ya>al > dwell <03427
+yashab > in that land <00776 +>erets > .

01 : 28 And it came <01961 +hayah > to pass , when Israel
<03478 +Yisra>el > was strong <02388 +chazaq > , that they
put <07760 +suwm > the Canaanites <03669 +K@na<aniy > to
tribute <04522 +mac > , and did not utterly drive < 03423
+yarash > them out .

01 : 29 Neither <03808 +lo> > did Ephraim <00669 +>Ephrayim >
drive <03423 +yarash > out the Canaanites <03669 +K@na<aniy >
that dwelt <03427 +yashab > in Gezer <01507 +Gezer > ; but
the Canaanites <03669 +K@na<aniy > dwelt <03427 +yashab > in
Gezer <01507 +Gezer > among <07130 +qereb > them .

01 : 30 Neither <03808 +lo> > did Zebulun <02074 +Z@buwluwn >

Kitron <07003 +Qitrown > , nor the inhabitants <03427 +yashab

+K@na<aniy > dwelt <03427 +yashab > among <07130 +qereb > them
, and became <01961 +hayah > tributaries <04522 +mac > .

01 : 31 Neither <03808 +lo> > did Asher <00836 +> Asher > drive
<03423 +yarash > out the inhabitants <03427 +yashab > of Accho
<05910 +<Akkow > , nor the inhabitants <03427 +yashab > of
Zidon <06721 +Tsiydown > , nor of Ahlab <00303 +> Achlab > ,
nor of Achzib <00392 +>Akziyb > , nor of Helbah < 02462
+Chelbah > , nor of Aphik <00663 +>Apheq > , nor of Rehob

01 : 32 But the Asherites <00843 +>Asheriy > dwelt < 03427
+yashab > among <07130 +qereb > the Canaanites < 03669
+K@na<aniy > , the inhabitants <03427 +yashab > of the land
<00776 +>erets > : for they did not drive <03423 +yarash >
them out .

01 : 33 Neither <03808 +lo> > did Naphtali <05321 +Naphtaliy >
drive <03423 +yarash > out the inhabitants <03427 +yashab > of
Bethshemesh <01053 +Beyth Shemesh > , nor the inhabitants
<03427 +yashab > of Bethanath <01043 +Beyth <Anath > ; but he
dwelt <03427 +yashab > among <07130 +qereb > the Canaanites
<03669 +K@na<aniy > , the inhabitants <03427 +yashab > of the
land <00776 +>erets > : nevertheless the inhabitants <03427
+yashab > of Bethshemesh <01053 +Beyth Shemesh > and of
Bethanath <01043 +Beyth <Anath > became <01961 +hayah >
tributaries <04522 +mac > unto them .

01 : 34 And the Amorites <00567 +>Emoriy > forced < 03905
+lachats > the children <01121 +ben > of Dan <01835 +Dan >
into the mountain <02022 +har > : for they would not suffer
<05414 +nathan > them to come <03381 +yarad > down <03381
+yarad > to the valley <06010 +<emeq > :

01 : 35 But the Amorites <00567 +>Emoriy > would < 02974 +ya>al

+Cherec > in Aijalon <00357 +>Ayalown > , and in Shaalbim
<08169 +Sha<albiym > : yet the hand <03027 +yad > of the house
<01004 +bayith > of Joseph <03130 +Yowceph > prevailed <03513
+kabad > , so that they became <01961 +hayah > tributaries
<04522 +mac > .

01 : 36 And the coast <01366 +g@buwl > of the Amorites < 00567

Akrabbim <06137 +<aqrab > , from the rock <05553 +cela< > ,
and upward <04605 +ma<al > .

02 : 01 . And an angel <04397 +mal>ak > of the LORD <03068
+Y@hovah > came <05927 +<alah > up from Gilgal < 01537 +Gilgal

I will never break <06565 +parar > my covenant <01285

02 : 02 And ye shall make <03772 +karath > no <03808 +lo> >
league <01285 +b@riyth > with the inhabitants <03427 +yashab >
of this <02063 +zo>th > land <00776 +>erets > ; ye shall
throw <05422 +nathats > down <05422 +nathats > their altars
<04196 +mizbeach > : but ye have not obeyed <08085 +shama< >
my voice <06963 +qowl > : why <04100 +mah > have ye done
<06213 +<asah > this <02063 +zo>th > ?

02 : 03 Wherefore I also <01571 +gam > said <00559 +>amar > ,
I will not drive <01644 +garash > them out from before < 06440
+paniym > you ; but they shall be [ as thorns ] in your sides
<06654 +tsad > , and their gods <00430 +>elohiym > shall be a
snare <04170 +mowqesh > unto you .

02 : 04 And it came <01961 +hayah > to pass , when the angel
<04397 +mal>ak > of the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > spake <01696
+dabar > these <00428 +>el - leh > words <01697 +dabar > unto
all <03605 +kol > the children <01121 +ben > of Israel <03478

02 : 05 And they called <07121 +qara> > the name < 08034 +shem

they sacrificed <02076 +zabach > there <08033 +sham > unto the
LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > .

02 : 06 . And when Joshua <03091 +Y@howshuwa< > had let the
people <05971 +<am > go <07971 +shalach > , the children
<01121 +ben > of Israel <03478 +Yisra>el > went <03212 +yalak

02 : 07 And the people <05971 +<am > served <05647 +<abad >
the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > all <03605 +kol > the days <03117

.

02 : 08 And Joshua <03091 +Y@howshuwa< > the son < 01121 +ben >
of Nun <05126 +Nuwn > , the servant <05650 +<ebed > of the
LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > , died <04191 +muwth > , [ being ]
an hundred <03967 +me>ah > and ten <06235 +<eser > years

02 : 09 And they buried <06912 +qabar > him in the border
<01366 +g@buwl > of his inheritance <05159 +nachalah > in
Timnathheres <08556 +Timnath Cherec > , in the mount < 02022

02 : 10 And also <01571 +gam > all <03605 +kol > that

02 : 11 And the children <01121 +ben > of Israel <03478

02 : 12 And they forsook <05800 +<azab > the LORD < 03068

to anger <03707 +ka<ac > .

02 : 13 And they forsook <05800 +<azab > the LORD < 03068

and Ashtaroth <06252 +<Ashtarowth > .

02 : 14 And the anger <00639 +>aph > of the LORD < 03068

02 : 15 Whithersoever they went <03318 +yatsa> > out , the

02 : 16 Nevertheless the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > raised < 06965

02 : 17 And yet <01571 +gam > they would not hearken < 08085

a whoring <02181 +zanah > after <00310 +>achar > other <00312

02 : 18 And when <03588 +kiy > the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah >

02 : 19 And it came <01961 +hayah > to pass , when the judge

returned <07725 +shuwb > , and corrupted <07843 +shachath >
[ themselves ] more than their fathers <1> , in following
other <00312 +>acher > gods <00430 +>elohiym > to serve <05647

their own doings <04611 +ma<alal > , nor from their stubborn

02 : 20 And the anger <00639 +>aph > of the LORD < 03068

02 : 21 I also <01571 +gam > will not henceforth <03254

02 : 22 That through them I may prove <05254 +nacah > Israel

the way <01870 +derek > of the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > to walk

02 : 23 Therefore the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > left < 03241

03 : 01 . Now these <00428 +>el - leh > [ are ] the nations

03 : 02 Only <07535 +raq > that the generations <01755 +dowr >

Baalhermon <01179 +Ba<al Chermown > unto the entering <00935

03 : 04 And they were to prove <05254 +nacah > Israel < 03478

would hearken <08085 +shama< > unto the commandments <04687

03 : 05 And the children <01121 +ben > of Israel <03478

Canaanites <03669 +K@na<aniy > , Hittites <02850 +Chittiy > ,

<02983 +Yebuwciy > :

03 : 06 And they took <03947 +laqach > their daughters < 01121

03 : 07 And the children <01121 +ben > of Israel <03478

03 : 08 . Therefore the anger <00639 +>aph > of the LORD

03 : 09 And when the children <01121 +ben > of Israel < 03478

03 : 10 And the Spirit <07307 +ruwach > of the LORD < 03068

03 : 12 . And the children <01121 +ben > of Israel < 03478

03 : 13 And he gathered <00622 +>acaph > unto him the children

03 : 14 So the children <01121 +ben > of Israel <03478

03 : 15 But when the children <01121 +ben > of Israel < 03478

03 : 20 And Ehud <00261 +>Echuwd > came <00935 +bow> > unto

03 : 23 Then Ehud <00261 +>Echuwd > went <03318 +yatsa> >

03 : 24 When he was gone <03318 +yatsa> > out , his servants

03 : 25 And they tarried <02342 +chuwl > till <05704 +<ad >

03 : 27 And it came <01961 +hayah > to pass , when he was come

03 : 28 And he said <00559 +>amar > unto them , Follow <07291

03 : 29 And they slew <05221 +nakah > of Moab <04124 +Mow>ab >

03 : 30 So Moab <04124 +Mow>ab > was subdued <03665 +kana< >

06 : 29 And they said <00559 +>amar > one <00376 +>iysh > to

they said <00559 +>amar > , Gideon <01439 +Gid< own > the son

06 : 30 Then the men <00582 +>enowsh > of the city < 05892

Bring <03318 +yatsa> > out thy son <01121 +ben > , that he

06 : 31 And Joash <03101 +Yow>ash > said <00559 +>amar > unto
all <03605 +kol > that stood <05975 +<amad > against <05921

06 : 32 Therefore on that day <03117 +yowm > he called < 07121

06 : 33 . Then all <03605 +kol > the Midianites <04080

06 : 34 But the Spirit <07307 +ruwach > of the LORD < 03068

06 : 35 And he sent <07971 +shalach > messengers <04397

06 : 36 And Gideon <01439 +Gid<own > said <00559 +>amar > unto
God <00430 +>elohiym > , If <00518 +>im > thou wilt save

06 : 37 Behold <02009 +hinneh > , I will put <03322 +yatsag >

06 : 38 And it was so <03651 +ken > : for he rose < 07925
+shakam > up early <07925 +shakam > on the morrow < 04283

06 : 39 And Gideon <01439 +Gid<own > said <00559 +>amar > unto
God <00430 +>elohiym > , Let not thine anger <00639 +>aph >

06 : 40 And God <00430 +>elohiym > did <06213 +< asah > so
<03651 +ken > that night <03915 +layil > : for it was dry
<02721 +choreb > upon the fleece <01492 +gazzah > only <00905

<03605 +kol > the ground <00776 +>erets > .

07 : 01 . Then Jerubbaal <03378 +Y@rubba<al > , who <04310

rose <07925 +shakam > up early <07925 +shakam > , and pitched
<02583 +chanah > beside <05921 +<al > the well <05878 +<Eyn
Charod > of Harod <05878 +<Eyn Charod > : so that the host

the north <06828 +tsaphown > side of them , by the hill <01389
+gib<ah > of Moreh <04176 +Mowreh > , in the valley <06010

07 : 02 And the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > said <00559 +>amar >
unto Gideon <01439 +Gid<own > , The people <05971 +<am > that
[ are ] with thee [ are ] too many <07227 +rab > for me to
give <05414 +nathan > the Midianites <04080 +Midyan > into

07 : 03 Now <06288 +p@>orah > therefore go <04994 +na> > to ,
proclaim <07121 +qara> > in the ears <00241 +> ozen > of the
people <05971 +<am > , saying <00559 +>amar > , Whosoever
<04310 +miy > [ is ] fearful <03373 +yare> > and afraid
<02730 +chared > , let him return <07725 +shuwb > and depart
<06852 +tsaphar > early <06852 +tsaphar > from mount <02022

+shuwb > of the people <05971 +<am > twenty < 06242 +<esriym >
and two <08147 +sh@nayim > thousand <00505 +>eleph > ; and
there remained <07604 +sha>ar > ten <06235 +< eser > thousand
<00505 +>eleph > .

07 : 04 And the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > said <00559 +>amar >
unto Gideon <01439 +Gid<own > , The people <05971 +<am > [
are ] yet <05750 +<owd > [ too ] many <07227 +rab > ;
bring <00338 +>iy > them down <03381 +yarad > unto the water
<04325 +mayim > , and I will try <06884 +tsaraph > them for
thee there <08033 +sham > : and it shall be , [ that ] of
whom <00834 +>aher > I say <00559 +>amar > unto thee , This
<02088 +zeh > shall go <03212 +yalak > with thee , the same

This <02088 +zeh > shall not go <03212 +yalak > with thee ,
the same <01931 +huw> > shall not go <03212 +yalak > .

07 : 05 So he brought <03381 +yarad > down <03381 +yarad > the
people <05971 +<am > unto the water <04325 +mayim > : and the
LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > said <00559 +>amar > unto Gideon <01439
+Gid<own > , Every <03605 +kol > one that lappeth <03952
+laqaq > of the water <04325 +mayim > with his tongue <03956
+lashown > , as a dog <03611 +keleb > lappeth < 03952 +laqaq >
, him shalt thou set <03322 +yatsag > by himself ; likewise
every <03605 +kol > one that boweth <03766 +kara< > down upon
his knees <01290 +berek > to drink <08354 +shathah > .

07 : 06 And the number <04557 +micpar > of them that lapped
<03952 +laqaq > , [ putting ] their hand <03027 +yad > to
their mouth <06310 +peh > , were three <07969 +shalowsh >

+kol > the rest <03499 +yether > of the people < 05971 +<am >
bowed <03766 +kara< > down upon their knees <01290 +berek > to
drink <08354 +shathah > water <04325 +mayim > .

07 : 07 And the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > said <00559 +>amar >
unto Gideon <01439 +Gid<own > , By the three <07969 +shalowsh

deliver <05414 +nathan > the Midianites <04080 +Midyan > into
thine hand <03027 +yad > : and let all <03605 +kol > the [
other ] people <05971 +<am > go <03212 +yalak > every man
<00376 +>iysh > unto his place <04725 +maqowm > .

07 : 08 So the people <05971 +<am > took <03947 +laqach >
victuals <06720 +tseydah > in their hand <03027 +yad > , and
their trumpets <07782 +showphar > : and he sent <07971

+Yisra>el > every man <00376 +>iysh > unto his tent <00168

+shalowsh > hundred <03967 +me>ah > men <00376 +>iysh > : and
the host <04264 +machaneh > of Midian <04080 +Midyan > was
beneath <08478 +tachath > him in the valley <06010 +<emeq > .

07 : 09 . And it came <01961 +hayah > to pass the same <01931
+huw> > night <03915 +layil > , that the LORD < 03068 +Y@hovah

thine hand <03027 +yad > .

07 : 10 But if <00518 +>im > thou fear <03373 +yare> > to go
<03381 +yarad > down <03381 +yarad > , go < 03381 +yarad >
thou with Phurah <06513 +Purah > thy servant <05288 +na<ar >
down <03381 +yarad > to the host <04264 +machaneh > :

07 : 11 And thou shalt hear <08085 +shama< > what < 04100 +mah

shall thine hands <03027 +yad > be strengthened <02388 +chazaq

<04264 +machaneh > . Then went <03381 +yarad > he down <03381
+yarad > with Phurah <06513 +Purah > his servant < 05288
+na<ar > unto the outside <07097 +qatseh > of the armed <02571

07 : 12 And the Midianites <04080 +Midyan > and the Amalekites
<06003 +<Amaleqiy > and all <03605 +kol > the children <01121
+ben > of the east <06924 +qedem > lay <05307 +naphal > along
in the valley <06010 +<emeq > like grasshoppers < 00697 +>arbeh

07 : 13 And when Gideon <01439 +Gid<own > was come < 00935

<00376 +>iysh > that told <05608 +caphar > a dream <02472

+chalam > a dream <02472 +chalowm > , and , lo < 02009
+hinneh > , a cake <06742 +ts@luwl > of barley < 08184
+s@<orah > bread <03899 +lechem > tumbled <02015 +haphak >
into the host <04264 +machaneh > of Midian <04080 +Midyan > ,
and came <00935 +bow> > unto a tent <00168 +> ohel > , and
smote <05221 +nakah > it that it fell <05307 +naphal > , and
overturned <02015 +haphak > it , that the tent <00168 +>ohel

07 : 14 And his fellow <07453 +rea< > answered < 06030 +<anah >
and said <00559 +>amar > , This <02063 +zo>th > [ is ]
nothing <00369 +>ayin > else save the sword <02719 +chereb >

07 : 15 And it was [ so ] , when Gideon <01439 +Gid<own >
heard <08085 +shama< > the telling <04557 +micpar > of the
dream <02472 +chalowm > , and the interpretation < 07667

and returned <07725 +shuwb > into <00413 +>el > the host

07 : 16 . And he divided <02673 +chatsah > the three < 07969
+shalowsh > hundred <03967 +me>ah > men <00376 +>iysh > [
into ] three <07969 +shalowsh > companies <07218 +ro>sh > ,
and he put <05414 +nathan > a trumpet <07782 +showphar > in

07 : 17 And he said <00559 +>amar > unto them , Look <07200

07 : 18 When I blow <08628 +taqa< > with a trumpet < 07782

then blow <08628 +taqa< > ye the trumpets <07782 +showphar >

07 : 19 So Gideon <01439 +Gid<own > , and the hundred <03967

07 : 20 And the three <07969 +shalowsh > companies < 07218

07 : 22 And the three <07969 +shalowsh > hundred <03967 +me>ah

08 : 05 And he said <00559 +>amar > unto the men < 00582

08 : 07 And Gideon <01439 +Gid<own > said <00559 +>amar > ,
Therefore when the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > hath delivered <05414

08 : 08 And he went <05927 +<alah > up thence <08033 +sham >

08 : 09 And he spake <00559 +>amar > also <01571 +gam > unto

08 : 10 Now Zebah <02078 +Zebach > and Zalmunna <06759

08 : 11 And Gideon <01439 +Gid<own > went <05927 +<alah > up

<05221 +nakah > the host <04264 +machaneh > : for the host
<04264 +machaneh > was secure <00983 +betach > .

08 : 12 And when Zebah <02078 +Zebach > and Zalmunna < 06759

08 : 13 And Gideon <01439 +Gid<own > the son <01121 +ben > of
Joash <03101 +Yow>ash > returned <07725 +shuwb > from battle
<04421 +milchamah > before <04608 +ma<aleh > the sun <02775

08 : 14 And caught <03920 +lakad > a young <05288 +na<ar > man

08 : 15 And he came <00935 +bow> > unto the men < 00582

08 : 16 And he took <03947 +laqach > the elders <02205 +zaqen

and with them he taught <03045 +yada< > the men < 00582

08 : 17 And he beat <05422 +nathats > down <05242 +N@muw>eliy

and slew <02026 +harag > the men <00582 +>enowsh > of the city

08 : 18 . Then said <00559 +>amar > he unto Zebah < 02078

08 : 19 And he said <00559 +>amar > , They [ were ] my

08 : 20 And he said <00559 +>amar > unto Jether < 03500 +Yether

08 : 21 Then Zebah <02078 +Zebach > and Zalmunna <06759

And Gideon <01439 +Gid<own > arose <06965 +quwm > , and slew

08 : 22 . Then the men <00376 +>iysh > of Israel < 03478

delivered <03467 +yasha< > us from the hand <03027 +yad > of
Midian <04080 +Midyan > .

08 : 23 And Gideon <01439 +Gid<own > said <00559 +>amar > unto

08 : 24 And Gideon <01439 +Gid<own > said <00559 +>amar > unto

08 : 25 And they answered <00559 +>amar > , We will willingly

spread <06566 +paras > a garment <08071 +simlah > , and did

08 : 26 And the weight <04948 +mishqal > of the golden < 02091

08 : 27 And Gideon <01439 +Gid<own > made <06213 +<asah > an
ephod <00646 +>ephowd > thereof , and put <03322 +yatsag > it

08 : 28 Thus was Midian <04080 +Midyan > subdued <03665 +kana<

08 : 29 . And Jerubbaal <03378 +Y@rubba<al > the son <01121

dwelt <03427 +yashab > in his own house <01004 +bayith > .

08 : 30 And Gideon <01439 +Gid<own > had threescore < 07657

08 : 31 And his concubine <06370 +piylegesh > that [ was ] in

08 : 32 And Gideon <01439 +Gid<own > the son <01121 +ben > of
Joash <03101 +Yow>ash > died <04191 +muwth > in a good <02896

08 : 33 And it came <01961 +hayah > to pass , as soon < 00834

08 : 34 And the children <01121 +ben > of Israel <03478

09 : 01 . And Abimelech <40> the son <01121 +ben > of
Jerubbaal <03378 +Y@rubba<al > went <03212 +yalak > to Shechem

09 : 04 And they gave <05414 +nathan > him threescore < 07657

09 : 53 And a certain <00259 +>echad > woman <00802 +>ishshah

10 : 09 Moreover the children <01121 +ben > of Ammon < 05983

10 : 12 The Zidonians <06722 +Tsiydoniy > also <01571 +gam > ,

10 : 13 Yet ye have forsaken <05800 +<azab > me , and served

10 : 15 And the children <01121 +ben > of Israel <03478

10 : 16 And they put <05493 +cuwr > away <05493 +cuwr > the

10 : 17 Then the children <01121 +ben > of Ammon <05983

11 : 01 . Now Jephthah <03316 +Yiphtach > the Gileadite <01569

11 : 18 Then they went <03212 +yalak > along through the

11 : 20 But Sihon <05511 +Ciychown > trusted <00539 +>aman >
not Israel <03478 +Yisra>el > to pass <05674 +< abar > through

11 : 21 And the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > God <00430 +> elohiym >

11 : 22 And they possessed <03423 +yarash > all <03605 +kol >

11 : 23 So now <06258 +<attah > the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > God

11 : 24 Wilt not thou possess <03423 +yarash > that which

11 : 25 And now <06258 +<attah > [ art ] thou any thing
better <02896 +towb > than Balak <01111 +Balaq > the son

11 : 26 While Israel <03478 +Yisra>el > dwelt <03427 +yashab >
in Heshbon <02809 +Cheshbown > and her towns <01323 +bath > ,

11 : 27 Wherefore I have not sinned <02398 +chata> > against
thee , but thou doest <06213 +<asah > me wrong < 07451 +ra< >
to war <03898 +lacham > against me : the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah

11 : 28 Howbeit the king <04428 +melek > of the children <01121

not unto the words <01697 +dabar > of Jephthah <03316
+Yiphtach > which <00834 +>aher > he sent <07971 +shalach >

11 : 29 . Then the Spirit <07307 +ruwach > of the LORD <03068
+Y@hovah > came <01961 +hayah > upon Jephthah <03316 +Yiphtach

passed <05674 +<abar > over <05674 +<abar > Mizpeh <04708

+Mitspeh > of Gilead <01568 +Gil<ad > he passed < 05674 +<abar

of Ammon <05983 +<Ammown > .

11 : 30 And Jephthah <03316 +Yiphtach > vowed <05087 +nadar >
a vow <05088 +neder > unto the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > , and
said <00559 +>amar > , If <00518 +>im > thou shalt without
fail deliver <05414 +nathan > the children <01121 +ben > of
Ammon <05983 +<Ammown > into mine hands <03027 +yad > ,

11 : 31 Then it shall be , that whatsoever <00834 +>aher >

and I will offer <05927 +<alah > it up for a burnt < 05930

11 : 32 So Jephthah <03316 +Yiphtach > passed <05674 +<abar >
over <05674 +<abar > unto the children <01121 +ben > of Ammon
<05983 +<Ammown > to fight <03898 +lacham > against them ;
and the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > delivered <05414 +nathan > them
into his hands <03027 +yad > .

11 : 33 And he smote <05221 +nakah > them from Aroer < 06177

the vineyards <03754 +kerem > , with a very <03966 +m@<od >
great <01419 +gadowl > slaughter <04347 +makkah > . Thus the
children <01121 +ben > of Ammon <05983 +<Ammown > were subdued
<03665 +kana< > before <06440 +paniym > the children <01121
+ben > of Israel <03478 +Yisra>el > .

11 : 34 And Jephthah <03316 +Yiphtach > came <00935 +bow> > to
Mizpeh <04709 +Mitspah > unto his house <01004 +bayith > ,
and , behold <02009 +hinneh > , his daughter <01323 +bath >

timbrels <08596 +toph > and with dances <04246 +m@chowlah > :

11 : 35 And it came <01961 +hayah > to pass , when he saw
<07200 +ra>ah > her , that he rent <07167 +qara< > his
clothes <00899 +beged > , and said <00559 +>amar > , Alas

brought <03766 +kara< > me very low <03766 +kara< > , and
thou art one of them that trouble <05916 +<akar > me : for I

LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > , and I cannot go <07725 +shuwb > back
<07725 +shuwb > .

11 : 36 And she said <00559 +>amar > unto him , My father <1> ,
[ if ] thou hast opened <06475 +patsah > thy mouth < 06310

to me according to that which <00834 +>aher > hath proceeded
<03318 +yatsa> > out of thy mouth <06310 +peh > ; forasmuch
as the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > hath taken <06213 +< asah >
vengeance <05360 +n@qamah > for thee of thine enemies < 00341

<05983 +<Ammown > .

11 : 37 And she said <00559 +>amar > unto her father <1> , Let
this <02088 +zeh > thing <01697 +dabar > be done <06213

11 : 38 And he said <00559 +>amar > , Go <03212 +yalak > .
And he sent <07971 +shalach > her away [ for ] two < 08147

11 : 39 And it came <01961 +hayah > to pass at the end < 07093

that she returned <07725 +shuwb > unto her father <1> , who
did <06213 +<asah > with her [ according ] to his vow <05088

11 : 40 [ That ] the daughters <01121 +ben > of Israel <03478

12 : 01 . And the men <00376 +>iysh > of Ephraim < 00669

12 : 02 And Jephthah <03316 +Yiphtach > said <00559 +>amar >

12 : 03 And when I saw <07200 +ra>ah > that ye delivered <03467

12 : 04 Then Jephthah <03316 +Yiphtach > gathered < 06908

12 : 05 And the Gileadites <01569 +Gil<adiy > took < 03920

13 : 13 And the angel <04397 +mal>ak > of the LORD < 03068

13 : 16 And the angel <04397 +mal>ak > of the LORD < 03068

13 : 20 For it came <01961 +hayah > to pass , when the flame

13 : 23 But his wife <00802 +>ishshah > said <00559 +>amar >

13 : 24 . And the woman <00802 +>ishshah > bare < 03205 +yalad

13 : 25 And the Spirit <07307 +ruwach > of the LORD < 03068

14 : 01 . And Samson <08123 +Shimshown > went <03381 +yarad >

14 : 02 And he came <05927 +<alah > up , and told < 05046

said <00559 +>amar > , I have seen <07200 +ra> ah > a woman

14 : 03 Then his father <1> and his mother <00517 +> em > said

14 : 04 But his father <1> and his mother <00517 +> em > knew

14 : 05 Then went <03381 +yarad > Samson <08123 +Shimshown >
down <03381 +yarad > , and his father <1> and his mother

14 : 06 And the Spirit <07307 +ruwach > of the LORD < 03068

14 : 07 And he went <03381 +yarad > down <03381 +yarad > ,

and she pleased Samson <08123 +Shimshown > well .

14 : 08 And after a time <03117 +yowm > he returned < 07725

14 : 10 . So his father <1> went <03381 +yarad > down <03381

14 : 12 And Samson <08123 +Shimshown > said <00559 +>amar >

14 : 14 And he said <00559 +>amar > unto them , Out of the

14 : 15 And it came <01961 +hayah > to pass on the seventh

14 : 16 And Samson s <08123 +Shimshown > wife <00802 +>ishshah

14 : 17 And she wept <01058 +bakah > before <05921 +<al > him

14 : 18 And the men <00582 +>enowsh > of the city < 05892 +<iyr

14 : 19 And the Spirit <07307 +ruwach > of the LORD < 03068

to go <00935 +bow> > in .

15 : 02 And her father <1> said <00559 +>amar > , I verily
<00559 +>amar > thought <00559 +>amar > that thou hadst
utterly hated <08130 +sane> > her ; therefore I gave <05414

her younger <06996 +qatan > sister <00269 +>achowth > fairer
<02896 +towb > than she ? take <01961 +hayah > her , I pray
<04994 +na> > thee , instead <08478 +tachath > of her .

15 : 03 And Samson <08123 +Shimshown > said <00559 +>amar >
concerning them , Now <06471 +pa<am > shall I be more
blameless <05352 +naqah > than the Philistines <06430

a displeasure <07451 +ra< > .

15 : 04 And Samson <08123 +Shimshown > went <03212 +yalak >
and caught <03920 +lakad > three <07969 +shalowsh > hundred

15 : 05 And when he had set the brands <03940 +lappiyd > on
fire <00784 +>esh > , he let [ them ] go <07971 +shalach >
into the standing <07054 +qamah > corn <07054 +qamah > of the
Philistines <06430 +P@lishtiy > , and burnt <01197 +ba<ar >

the standing <07054 +qamah > corn <07054 +qamah > , with the
vineyards <03754 +kerem > [ and ] olives <02132 +zayith > .

15 : 06 Then the Philistines <06430 +P@lishtiy > said < 00559

<02063 +zo>th > ? And they answered <00559 +> amar > , Samson
<08123 +Shimshown > , the son <02860 +chathan > in law <02859

<05927 +<alah > up , and burnt <08313 +saraph > her and her
father <1> with fire <00784 +>esh > .

15 : 07 And Samson <08123 +Shimshown > said <00559 +>amar >
unto them , Though <00518 +>im > ye have done < 06213 +<asah >
this <02063 +zo>th > , yet will I be avenged <05358 +naqam >

15 : 08 And he smote <05221 +nakah > them hip <07785 +showq >

slaughter <04347 +makkah > : and he went <03381 +yarad > down

15 : 09 . Then the Philistines <06430 +P@lishtiy > went <05927
+<alah > up , and pitched <02583 +chanah > in Judah <03063
+Y@huwdah > , and spread <05203 +natash > themselves in Lehi
<03896 +Lechiy > .

15 : 10 And the men <00376 +>iysh > of Judah <03063 +Y@huwdah

15 : 11 Then three <07969 +shalowsh > thousand <00505 +>eleph

Samson <08123 +Shimshown > , Knowest <03045 +yada< > thou not
that the Philistines <06430 +P@lishtiy > [ are ] rulers

<02063 +zo>th > [ that ] thou hast done <06213 +<asah > unto
us ? And he said <00559 +>amar > unto them , As they did
<06213 +<asah > unto me , so <03651 +ken > have I done <06213
+<asah > unto them .

15 : 12 And they said <00559 +>amar > unto him , We are come
<03381 +yarad > down <03381 +yarad > to bind < 00631 +>acar >
thee , that we may deliver <05414 +nathan > thee into the hand
<03027 +yad > of the Philistines <06430 +P@lishtiy > . And
Samson <08123 +Shimshown > said <00559 +>amar > unto them ,
Swear <07650 +shaba< > unto me , that ye will not fall <06293
+paga< > upon me yourselves <00859 +>attah > .

15 : 13 And they spake <00559 +>amar > unto him , saying
<00559 +>amar > , No <03808 +lo> > ; but we will bind <00631

15 : 14 [ And ] when he came <00935 +bow> > unto Lehi <03896
+Lechiy > , the Philistines <06430 +P@lishtiy > shouted <07321
+ruwa< > against <07125 +qir>ah > him : and the Spirit <07307
+ruwach > of the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > came mightily upon him ,
and the cords <05688 +<aboth > that [ were ] upon his arms
<02220 +z@rowa< > became <01961 +hayah > as flax <06593
+pishteh > that was burnt <01197 +ba<ar > with fire <00784

15 : 15 And he found <04672 +matsa> > a new <02961 +tariy >
jawbone <03895 +l@chiy > of an ass <02543 +chamowr > , and
put <07971 +shalach > forth <07971 +shalach > his hand <03027

+nakah > a thousand <00505 +>eleph > men <00376 +>iysh >
therewith .

15 : 16 And Samson <08123 +Shimshown > said <00559 +>amar > ,
With the jawbone <03895 +l@chiy > of an ass <02543 +chamowr > ,
heaps <02565 +chamorah > upon heaps <02565 +chamorah > ,
with the jaw <03895 +l@chiy > of an ass <02543 +chamowr > have
I slain <05221 +nakah > a thousand <00505 +>eleph > men <00376

15 : 17 And it came <01961 +hayah > to pass , when he had made
an end <03615 +kalah > of speaking <01696 +dabar > , that he
cast <07993 +shalak > away the jawbone <03895 +l@chiy > out of
his hand <03027 +yad > , and called <07121 +qara> > that
place <04725 +maqowm > Ramathlehi <07437 +Ramath Lechiy > .

15 : 18 . And he was sore <03966 +m@<od > athirst < 06770

LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > , and said <00559 +>amar > , Thou

and fall <05307 +naphal > into the hand <03027 +yad > of the

15 : 19 But God <00430 +>elohiym > clave <01234 +baqa< > an
hollow <04388 +maktesh > place that [ was ] in the jaw <03895
+l@chiy > , and there came <03318 +yatsa> > water <04325

his spirit <07307 +ruwach > came <07725 +shuwb > again <07725
+shuwb > , and he revived <02421 +chayah > : wherefore <04100

15 : 20 And he judged <08199 +shaphat > Israel <03478

<06430 +P@lishtiy > twenty <06242 +<esriym > years <08141

16 : 01 . Then went <03212 +yalak > Samson <08123 +Shimshown

16 : 02 [ And it was told ] the Gazites <05841 +< Azzathiy > ,
saying <00559 +>amar > , Samson <08123 +Shimshown > is come
<00935 +bow> > hither . And they compassed <05437 +cabab > [
him ] in , and laid wait <00693 +>arab > for him all <03605

16 : 03 And Samson <08123 +Shimshown > lay <07901 +shakab >
till <05704 +<ad > midnight , and arose <06965 +quwm > at
midnight , and took <00270 +>achaz > the doors < 01817 +deleth

and the two <08147 +sh@nayim > posts <04201 +m@zuwzah > , and
went <05265 +naca< > away <05265 +naca< > with them , bar
<01280 +b@riyach > and all <05973 +<im > , and put <07760

carried <05927 +<alah > them up to the top <07218 +ro>sh > of
an hill <02022 +har > that [ is ] before Hebron < 02275
+Chebrown > .

16 : 04 . And it came <01961 +hayah > to pass afterward ,
that he loved <00157 +>ahab > a woman <00802 +> ishshah > in
the valley <05158 +nachal > of Sorek <07796 +Sowreq > , whose
name <08034 +shem > [ was ] Delilah <01807 +D@liylah > .

16 : 05 And the lords <05633 +ceren > of the Philistines <06430
+P@lishtiy > came <05927 +<alah > up unto her , and said
<00559 +>amar > unto her , Entice <06601 +pathah > him , and
see <07200 +ra>ah > wherein <04100 +mah > his great <01419

<06031 +<anah > him : and we will give <05414 +nathan > thee
every <00376 +>iysh > one <00376 +>iysh > of us eleven hundred

16 : 06 And Delilah <01807 +D@liylah > said <00559 +>amar > to
Samson <08123 +Shimshown > , Tell <05046 +nagad > me , I

wherewith <04100 +mah > thou mightest be bound <00631 +>acar >
to afflict <06031 +<anah > thee .

16 : 07 And Samson <08123 +Shimshown > said <00559 +>amar >
unto her , If <00518 +>im > they bind <00631 +> acar > me with

16 : 08 Then the lords <05633 +ceren > of the Philistines
<06430 +P@lishtiy > brought <05927 +<alah > up to her seven

and she bound <00631 +>acar > him with them .

16 : 09 Now [ there were ] men lying in wait <00693 +> arab > ,
abiding <03427 +yashab > with her in the chamber < 02315

<08123 +Shimshown > . And he brake <05423 +nathaq > the withs
<03499 +yether > , as a thread <06616 +pathiyl > of tow

16 : 10 And Delilah <01807 +D@liylah > said <00559 +>amar >

16 : 11 And he said <00559 +>amar > unto her , If < 00518 +>im

16 : 12 Delilah <01807 +D@liylah > therefore took < 03947

bound <00631 +>acar > him therewith , and said < 00559 +>amar

16 : 13 And Delilah <01807 +D@liylah > said <00559 +>amar >
unto Samson <08123 +Shimshown > , Hitherto thou hast mocked

16 : 14 And she fastened <08628 +taqa< > [ it ] with the pin

Philistines <06430 +P@lishtiy > [ be ] upon thee , Samson

16 : 15 And she said <00559 +>amar > unto him , How <00349

thou hast mocked <02048 +hathal > me these <02088 +zeh >

16 : 16 And it came <01961 +hayah > to pass , when < 03588

with her words <01697 +dabar > , and urged <00509 +>alats >

16 : 17 That he told <05046 +nagad > her all <03605 +kol > his

There hath not come <05927 +<alah > a razor <04177 +mowrah >

16 : 18 . And when Delilah <01807 +D@liylah > saw < 07200

Philistines <06430 +P@lishtiy > came <05927 +<alah > up unto
her , and brought <05927 +<alah > money <03701 +keceph > in
their hand <03027 +yad > .

16 : 19 And she made him sleep <03462 +yashen > upon her knees

16 : 21 But the Philistines <06430 +P@lishtiy > took < 00270

16 : 22 . Howbeit the hair <08181 +se<ar > of his head <07218

16 : 23 Then the lords <05633 +ceren > of the Philistines

16 : 25 And it came <01961 +hayah > to pass , when < 03588

16 : 29 And Samson <08123 +Shimshown > took hold <03943

16 : 30 And Samson <08123 +Shimshown > said <00559 +>amar > ,
Let me die <04191 +muwth >with the Philistines <06430

16 : 31 Then his brethren <00251 +>ach > and all < 03605 +kol >

17 : 01 . And there was a man <00376 +>iysh > of mount <02022

Blessed <01288 +barak > [ be thou ] of the LORD < 03068

17 : 03 And when he had restored <07725 +shuwb > the eleven

17 : 04 Yet he restored <07725 +shuwb > the money < 03701

17 : 05 And the man <00376 +>iysh > Micah <04318 +Miykah > had

17 : 07 . And there was a young <05288 +na<ar > man out of

17 : 11 And the Levite <03881 +Leviyiy > was content < 02974

17 : 12 And Micah <04318 +Miykah > consecrated the Levite

18 : 02 And the children <01121 +ben > of Dan <01835 +Dan >

18 : 26 And the children <01121 +ben > of Dan <01835 +Dan >

19 : 04 And his father <02859 +chathan > in law <02859

20 : 33 And all <03605 +kol > the men <00376 +>iysh > of

20 : 35 And the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > smote <05062 +nagaph >
Benjamin <01144 +Binyamiyn > before <06440 +paniym > Israel

20 : 36 So the children <01121 +ben > of Benjamin < 01144

20 : 37 And the liers in wait <00693 +>arab > hasted <02363

20 : 38 Now there was an appointed <04150 +mow<ed > sign

20 : 40 But when the flame <04864 +mas>eth > began < 02490

20 : 41 And when the men <00376 +>iysh > of Israel < 03478

20 : 42 Therefore they turned <06437 +panah > [ their backs ]

they destroyed <07843 +shachath > in the midst <08432 +tavek >
of them .

20 : 43 [ Thus ] they inclosed <03803 +kathar > the
Benjamites <01145 +Ben - y@miyniy > round <03803 +kathar >
about <03803 +kathar > , [ and ] chased <07291 +radaph >

20 : 44 And there fell <05307 +naphal > of Benjamin < 01144

20 : 45 And they turned <06437 +panah > and fled <05127 +nuwc

20 : 46 So that all <03605 +kol > which fell <05307 +naphal >

20 : 47 But six <08337 +shesh > hundred <03967 +me> ah > men

20 : 48 And the men <00376 +>iysh > of Israel <03478 +Yisra>el

21 : 01 . Now the men <00376 +>iysh > of Israel < 03478

21 : 05 And the children <01121 +ben > of Israel <03478

21 : 07 How <04100 +mah > shall we do <06213 +<asah > for

21 : 09 For the people <05971 +<am > were numbered < 06485

none of the inhabitants <03427 +yashab > of Jabeshgilead there

21 : 10 And the congregation <05712 +<edah > sent < 07971

21 : 15 And the people <05971 +<am > repented <05162 +nacham >

21 : 18 Howbeit we may <03201 +yakol > not give <05414 +nathan

21 : 23 And the children <01121 +ben > of Benjamin < 01144
