Miqra 'al pi ha-Mesorah	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 מַשְׂכִּיל לְאָסָףהַאֲזִינָה עַמִּי תּוֹרָתִיהַטּוּ אׇזְנְכֶם לְאִמְרֵי־פִֽי׃	1 Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
2 אֶפְתְּחָה בְמָשָׁל פִּיאַבִּיעָה חִידוֹת מִנִּי־קֶֽדֶם׃	2 I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:
3 אֲשֶׁר שָׁמַעְנוּ וַנֵּדָעֵםוַאֲבוֹתֵינוּ סִפְּרוּ־לָֽנוּ׃	3 Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.
4 לֹא נְכַחֵד ׀ מִבְּנֵיהֶםלְדוֹר אַחֲרוֹןמְֽסַפְּרִים תְּהִלּוֹת יְהֹוָהוֶעֱזוּזוֹ וְנִפְלְאֹתָיו אֲשֶׁר עָשָֽׂה׃	4 We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done.
5 וַיָּקֶם עֵדוּת ׀ בְּֽיַעֲקֹבוְתוֹרָה שָׂם בְּיִשְׂרָאֵלאֲשֶׁר צִוָּה אֶת־אֲבוֹתֵינוּלְהוֹדִיעָם לִבְנֵיהֶֽם׃	5 For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children:
6 לְמַעַן יֵדְעוּ ׀ דּוֹר אַחֲרוֹן בָּנִים יִוָּלֵדוּיָקֻמוּ וִיסַפְּרוּ לִבְנֵיהֶֽם׃	6 That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children:
7 וְיָשִׂימוּ בֵאלֹהִים כִּסְלָםוְלֹא יִשְׁכְּחוּ מַעַלְלֵי־אֵלוּמִצְוֺתָיו יִנְצֹֽרוּ׃	7 That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:
8 וְלֹא יִהְיוּ ׀ כַּאֲבוֹתָםדּוֹר סוֹרֵר וּמֹרֶהדּוֹר לֹא־הֵכִין לִבּוֹוְלֹֽא־נֶאֶמְנָה אֶת־אֵל רוּחֽוֹ׃	8 And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.
9 בְּֽנֵי־אֶפְרַיִם נוֹשְׁקֵי רֽוֹמֵי־קָשֶׁתהָפְכוּ בְּיוֹם קְרָֽב׃	9 The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.
10 לֹא שָׁמְרוּ בְּרִית אֱלֹהִיםוּבְתוֹרָתוֹ מֵאֲנוּ לָלֶֽכֶת׃	10 They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law;
11 וַיִּשְׁכְּחוּ עֲלִילוֹתָיווְנִפְלְאוֹתָיו אֲשֶׁר הֶרְאָֽם׃	11 And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them.
12 נֶגֶד אֲבוֹתָם עָשָׂה פֶלֶאבְּאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם שְׂדֵה־צֹֽעַן׃	12 Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
13 בָּקַע יָם וַיַּעֲבִירֵםוַֽיַּצֶּב־מַיִם כְּמוֹ־נֵֽד׃	13 He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as an heap.
14 וַיַּנְחֵם בֶּעָנָן יוֹמָםוְכׇל־הַלַּיְלָה בְּאוֹר אֵֽשׁ׃	14 In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire.
15 יְבַקַּע צֻרִים בַּמִּדְבָּרוַיַּשְׁקְ כִּתְהֹמוֹת רַבָּֽה׃	15 He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths.
16 וַיּוֹצִא נוֹזְלִים מִסָּלַעוַיּוֹרֶד כַּנְּהָרוֹת מָֽיִם׃	16 He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.
17 וַיּוֹסִיפוּ עוֹד לַחֲטֹא־לוֹלַֽמְרוֹת עֶלְיוֹן בַּצִּיָּֽה׃	17 And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness.
18 וַיְנַסּוּ־אֵל בִּלְבָבָםלִֽשְׁאׇל־אֹכֶל לְנַפְשָֽׁם׃	18 And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.
19 וַֽיְדַבְּרוּ בֵּאלֹהִיםאָמְרוּ הֲיוּכַל אֵללַעֲרֹךְ שֻׁלְחָן בַּמִּדְבָּֽר׃	19 Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?
20 הֵן הִכָּה־צוּר ׀ וַיָּזוּבוּ מַיִםוּנְחָלִים יִשְׁטֹפוּהֲגַם־לֶחֶם יוּכַל תֵּתאִם־יָכִין שְׁאֵר לְעַמּֽוֹ׃	20 Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people?
21 לָכֵן ׀ שָׁמַע יְהֹוָה וַֽיִּתְעַבָּרוְאֵשׁ נִשְּׂקָה בְיַעֲקֹבוְגַם־אַף עָלָה בְיִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃	21 Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;
22 כִּי לֹא הֶאֱמִינוּ בֵּאלֹהִיםוְלֹא בָטְחוּ בִּישֽׁוּעָתֽוֹ׃	22 Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation:
23 וַיְצַו שְׁחָקִים מִמָּעַלוְדַלְתֵי שָׁמַיִם פָּתָֽח׃	23 Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven,
24 וַיַּמְטֵר עֲלֵיהֶם מָן לֶאֱכֹלוּדְגַן־שָׁמַיִם נָתַן לָֽמוֹ׃	24 And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven.
25 לֶחֶם אַבִּירִים אָכַל אִישׁצֵידָה שָׁלַח לָהֶם לָשֹֽׂבַע׃	25 Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full.
26 יַסַּע קָדִים בַּשָּׁמָיִםוַיְנַהֵג בְּעֻזּוֹ תֵימָֽן׃	26 He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind.
27 וַיַּמְטֵר עֲלֵיהֶם כֶּעָפָר שְׁאֵרוּֽכְחוֹל יַמִּים עוֹף כָּנָֽף׃	27 He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea:
28 וַיַּפֵּל בְּקֶרֶב מַחֲנֵהוּסָבִיב לְמִשְׁכְּנֹתָֽיו׃	28 And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations.
29 וַיֹּאכְלוּ וַיִּשְׂבְּעוּ מְאֹדוְתַאֲוָתָם יָבִא לָהֶֽם׃	29 So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire;
30 לֹא־זָרוּ מִתַּאֲוָתָםעוֹד אׇכְלָם בְּפִיהֶֽם׃	30 They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths,
31 וְאַף אֱלֹהִים ׀ עָלָה בָהֶםוַֽיַּהֲרֹג בְּמִשְׁמַנֵּיהֶםוּבַחוּרֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל הִכְרִֽיעַ׃	31 The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.
32 בְּכׇל־זֹאת חָֽטְאוּ־עוֹדוְלֹֽא־הֶאֱמִינוּ בְּנִפְלְאוֹתָֽיו׃	32 For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works.
33 וַיְכַל־בַּהֶבֶל יְמֵיהֶםוּשְׁנוֹתָם בַּבֶּהָלָֽה׃	33 Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble.
34 אִם־הֲרָגָם וּדְרָשׁוּהוּוְשָׁבוּ וְשִֽׁחֲרוּ־אֵֽל׃	34 When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and inquired early after God.
35 וַֽיִּזְכְּרוּ כִּֽי־אֱלֹהִים צוּרָםוְאֵל עֶלְיוֹן גֹּאֲלָֽם׃	35 And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer.
36 וַיְפַתּוּהוּ בְּפִיהֶםוּבִלְשׁוֹנָם יְכַזְּבוּ־לֽוֹ׃	36 Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues.
37 וְלִבָּם לֹא־נָכוֹן עִמּוֹוְלֹא נֶאֶמְנוּ בִּבְרִיתֽוֹ׃	37 For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant.
38 וְהוּא רַחוּם ׀ יְכַפֵּר עָוֺן וְֽלֹא־יַֽשְׁחִיתוְהִרְבָּה לְהָשִׁיב אַפּוֹוְלֹא־יָעִיר כׇּל־חֲמָתֽוֹ׃	38 But he, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.
39 וַיִּזְכֹּר כִּֽי־בָשָׂר הֵמָּהרוּחַ הוֹלֵךְ וְלֹא יָשֽׁוּב׃	39 For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.
40 כַּמָּה יַמְרוּהוּ בַמִּדְבָּריַעֲצִיבוּהוּ בִּישִׁימֽוֹן׃	40 How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert!
41 וַיָּשׁוּבוּ וַיְנַסּוּ אֵלוּקְדוֹשׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל הִתְוֽוּ׃	41 Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.
42 לֹא־זָכְרוּ אֶת־יָדוֹיוֹם אֲֽשֶׁר־פָּדָם מִנִּי־צָֽר׃	42 They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy.
43 אֲשֶׁר־שָׂם בְּמִצְרַיִם אֹתוֹתָיווּמוֹפְתָיו בִּשְׂדֵה־צֹֽעַן׃	43 How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan:
44 וַיַּהֲפֹךְ לְדָם יְאֹרֵיהֶםוְנֹזְלֵיהֶם בַּל־יִשְׁתָּיֽוּן׃	44 And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could not drink.
45 יְשַׁלַּח בָּהֶם עָרֹב וַיֹּאכְלֵםוּצְפַרְדֵּעַ וַתַּשְׁחִיתֵֽם׃	45 He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.
46 וַיִּתֵּן לֶחָסִיל יְבוּלָםוִיגִיעָם לָאַרְבֶּֽה׃	46 He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller, and their labour unto the locust.
47 יַהֲרֹג בַּבָּרָד גַּפְנָםוְשִׁקְמוֹתָם בַּחֲנָמַֽל׃	47 He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycomore trees with frost.
48 וַיַּסְגֵּר לַבָּרָד בְּעִירָםוּמִקְנֵיהֶם לָרְשָׁפִֽים׃	48 He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.
49 יְשַׁלַּח־בָּם ׀ חֲרוֹן אַפּוֹעֶבְרָה וָזַעַם וְצָרָהמִשְׁלַחַת מַלְאֲכֵי רָעִֽים׃	49 He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them.
50 יְפַלֵּס נָתִיב לְאַפּוֹלֹא־חָשַׂךְ מִמָּוֶת נַפְשָׁםוְחַיָּתָם לַדֶּבֶר הִסְגִּֽיר׃	50 He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;
51 וַיַּךְ כׇּל־בְּכוֹר בְּמִצְרָיִםרֵאשִׁית אוֹנִים בְּאׇהֳלֵי־חָֽם׃	51 And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham:
52 וַיַּסַּע כַּצֹּאן עַמּוֹוַֽיְנַהֲגֵם כַּעֵדֶר בַּמִּדְבָּֽר׃	52 But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
53 וַיַּנְחֵם לָבֶטַח וְלֹא פָחָדוּוְאֶת־אוֹיְבֵיהֶם כִּסָּה הַיָּֽם׃	53 And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
54 וַיְבִיאֵם אֶל־גְּבוּל קׇדְשׁוֹהַר־זֶה קָנְתָה יְמִינֽוֹ׃	54 And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, even to this mountain, which his right hand had purchased.
55 וַיְגָרֶשׁ מִפְּנֵיהֶם ׀ גּוֹיִםוַֽיַּפִּילֵם בְּחֶבֶל נַחֲלָהוַיַּשְׁכֵּן בְּאׇהֳלֵיהֶם שִׁבְטֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃	55 He cast out the heathen also before them, and divided them an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.
56 וַיְנַסּוּ וַיַּמְרוּ אֶת־אֱלֹהִים עֶלְיוֹןוְעֵדוֹתָיו לֹא שָׁמָֽרוּ׃	56 Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies:
57 וַיִּסֹּגוּ וַֽיִּבְגְּדוּ כַּאֲבוֹתָםנֶהְפְּכוּ כְּקֶשֶׁת רְמִיָּֽה׃	57 But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.
58 וַיַּכְעִיסוּהוּ בְּבָמוֹתָםוּבִפְסִילֵיהֶם יַקְנִיאֽוּהוּ׃	58 For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.
59 שָׁמַע אֱלֹהִים וַֽיִּתְעַבָּרוַיִּמְאַס מְאֹד בְּיִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃	59 When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:
60 וַיִּטֹּשׁ מִשְׁכַּן שִׁלוֹאֹהֶל שִׁכֵּן בָּֽאָדָֽם׃	60 So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men;
61 וַיִּתֵּן לַשְּׁבִי עֻזּוֹוְֽתִפְאַרְתּוֹ בְיַד־צָֽר׃	61 And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the enemy's hand.
62 וַיַּסְגֵּר לַחֶרֶב עַמּוֹוּבְנַחֲלָתוֹ הִתְעַבָּֽר׃	62 He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with his inheritance.
63 בַּחוּרָיו אָכְלָה־אֵשׁוּבְתוּלֹתָיו לֹא הוּלָּֽלוּ׃	63 The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given to marriage.
64 כֹּהֲנָיו בַּחֶרֶב נָפָלוּוְאַלְמְנֹתָיו לֹא תִבְכֶּֽינָה׃	64 Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation.
65 וַיִּקַץ כְּיָשֵׁן ׀ אֲדֹנָיכְּגִבּוֹר מִתְרוֹנֵן מִיָּֽיִן׃	65 Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.
66 וַיַּךְ־צָרָיו אָחוֹרחֶרְפַּת עוֹלָם נָתַן לָֽמוֹ׃	66 And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put them to a perpetual reproach.
67 וַיִּמְאַס בְּאֹהֶל יוֹסֵףוּֽבְשֵׁבֶט אֶפְרַיִם לֹא בָחָֽר׃	67 Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:
68 וַיִּבְחַר אֶת־שֵׁבֶט יְהוּדָהאֶֽת־הַר צִיּוֹן אֲשֶׁר אָהֵֽב׃	68 But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved.
69 וַיִּבֶן כְּמוֹ־רָמִים מִקְדָּשׁוֹכְּאֶרֶץ יְסָדָהּ לְעוֹלָֽם׃	69 And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which he hath established for ever.
70 וַיִּבְחַר בְּדָוִד עַבְדּוֹוַיִּקָּחֵהוּ מִֽמִּכְלְאֹת צֹֽאן׃	70 He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds:
71 מֵאַחַר עָלוֹת הֱבִיאוֹלִרְעוֹת בְּיַֽעֲקֹב עַמּוֹוּבְיִשְׂרָאֵל נַחֲלָתֽוֹ׃	71 From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.
72 וַיִּרְעֵם כְּתֹם לְבָבוֹוּבִתְבוּנוֹת כַּפָּיו יַנְחֵֽם׃	72 So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.
