The Saviour Before Pontius Pilate

1 Chronicles 27

11 In the eighth month, the eighth prince was Sibbecai (the) Hushathite, of the generation of Zarhites (or of the sons of Zareh), and four and twenty thousand were in his company.11 David left not quick man and woman (or David left no man or woman alive), neither brought (them back) into Gath, and said, Lest peradventure they speak against us. David did these things, and this was his doom, in all [the] days in which he dwelled in the country of (the) Philistines.11 But the centurion believed more to the governor, and to the lord of the ship, than to these things that were said of Paul. (But the centurion trusted more in what the captain and the owner of the ship said, than what was said by Paul.)11 And Moses commanded to the people in that day, and said,11 In like manner in the north side, by the length, shall be curtains of an hundred cubits, twenty pillars, and brazen bases of the same number; and the hooks of the pillars, and the holdings of those, shall be of silver. (Likewise on the north side shall be curtains a hundred cubits long, with twenty bronze pillars, and as many bronze bases, and the pillars shall have silver hooks and bands.)11 Sons (of) Arvadians with thine host were on thy walls in thy compass; but also Gammadims, that were in thy towers, hanged their arrow cases on thy walls by compass; they [ful]filled thy fairness. (The sons of the Arvadians were with thy army upon thy walls all around; and also the Gammadims, who were in thy towers, hung up their arrow cases on thy walls all around; they fulfilled, or made perfect, thy beauty.)11 To whom Jacob answered, Thou knowest that Esau my brother is an hairy man, and I am smooth;11 In the dryness of ripe corn thereof women coming, and they that teach it, shall be all-broken. Forsooth it is not a wise people; therefore he that made it, shall not have mercy on it, and he that formed it, shall not spare it. (In the dryness of its branches, they shall be all-broken; the women shall come, and shall set them on fire. For they be not a wise people; and so he who made them, shall not have mercy on them, and he who formed them, shall not spare them.)11 Certainly the folk that maketh subject their noll under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serveth him, I shall leave, either deliver, it in his (own) land, saith the Lord; and it shall till that land, and shall dwell therein. (Truly the nation that maketh subject their necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serveth him, I shall leave them in their own land, saith the Lord; and they shall till that land, and shall live there.)11 I shall teach you by the hand of God, what things Almighty God hath; and I shall not hide them.11 Soothly if any man avoweth an unclean beast, that may not be offered to the Lord, it shall be brought before the priest,11 And Jesus stood before the doomsman (or the judge); and the justice [or the president] asked him, and said, Art thou king of Jews? Jesus saith to him, Thou sayest. (And Jesus stood before the Governor; and the Governor asked him, and said, Art thou the King of the Jews? Jesus saith to him, Thou sayest it.)11 soothly if he have no brethren of his father, the heritage shall be given to them that be next to him. And this shall be holy by everlasting law to the sons of Israel, as the Lord commanded to Moses. (and if his father hath no brothers, the inheritance shall be given to them who be next to him. And this shall be holy by an everlasting law to the Israelites, as the Lord commanded to Moses.)11 My son, study thou about wisdom, and make thou glad mine heart; that thou mayest answer a word to a despiser (or so that I can have an answer for any despiser, or for any mocker).11 Lord, set thou a law to me in thy way; and (ad)dress thou me in a rightful path, for mine enemies. (Lord, show thou me thy way; and direct thou me on the right path, for I have many enemies./Lord, teach thou me thy way; and direct thou me on the right path, safe from my enemies.)12 In the ninth month, the ninth prince was Abiezer (the) Anetothite, of the generation of Benjamin (or of the sons of Benjamin), and four and twenty thousand were in his company.12 Therefore Achish believed to David (or And so Achish trusted David), and said, Certainly he hath wrought many evils against his people Israel, therefore he shall be a servant to me for evermore.12 And when the haven was not able [for] to dwell in (over) winter, full many ordained counsel to sail from thence, if on any manner [or if in any manner] they might come to Phenice, (for) to dwell in winter at the haven of Crete, which beholdeth to Africa, that is, (to the) southwest, and to Corum, that is, (to the) northwest.12 These men shall stand upon the hill of Gerizim to bless the Lord, when (the) Jordan they have over-passed; Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin. (These tribes shall stand on Mount Gerizim, when ye have crossed over the Jordan River, and the blessings be proclaimed upon the people; Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin.)12 Forsooth in the breadth of the large porch, that beholdeth to the west, shall be curtains by fifty cubits, and ten pillars shall be, and as many bases. (And on the breadth of the courtyard, facing west, shall be curtains fifty cubits long, with ten pillars, and as many bases.)12 Carthaginians, thy merchants, of the multitude of all (kind of) riches filled thy fairs, with silver, and iron, with tin, and lead. (Tarshish, thy merchants, filled thy fairs with the multitude of all kinds of riches, with silver, and iron, and tin, and lead.)12 (so) if my father shall touch (me), or draw me to him, and feel me, I dread lest he guess that I would scorn him, and he bring in cursing on me for blessing (or and I bring in a curse upon myself, and not a blessing).12 And it shall be, in that day the Lord shall smite thee, from the bottom of the flood till to the strand of Egypt; and ye sons of Israel, shall be gathered one and one. (And it shall be, on that day the Lord shall strike thee, from the bottom of the Euphrates River unto the River of Egypt; and then ye Israelites shall be gathered one by one.)12 And I spake by all these words to Zedekiah, king of Judah, and I said, Make ye subject your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve ye him, and his people, and ye shall live.12 Lo! all ye know (them), and what then speak ye vain things without cause? (Behold! ye all know them, so why then do ye speak vain, or empty, things without any reason?)12 and the priest shall deem whether it is good either evil (or and the priest shall decide whether it is good or bad), and he shall set the price;12 And when he was accused of the princes of (the) priests, and of the elder men of the people, he answered nothing. (And when he was accused by the high priests, and by the elders of the people, he answered nothing.)12 Also the Lord said to Moses, Go (thou) up into this hill of Abarim, and behold thou from thence the land, which I shall give to the sons of Israel. (And then the Lord said to Moses, Go thou up onto this Mount Abarim, and from there behold thou the land, which I have given to the Israelites.)12 A fell man seeing evil was hid; little men of wit passing forth suffered harms. (A clever person, seeing evil approach, was hidden; but people of little wit, or of low intelligence, pass forth, or continue on, and suffer harm.)12 Betake thou not me into the souls of them, that trouble me; for wicked witnesses have risen against me, and wickedness lied to itself. (Deliver thou me not unto those who trouble me; for wicked witnesses have risen up against me, and the wicked lie even to themselves!)13 In the tenth month, the tenth prince was Maharai, and he was (a) Netophathite, of the generation of Zarhites (or of the sons of Zareh), and four and twenty thousand were in his company.13 And when the south blew, they guessed them(selves) to hold purpose; and when they had removed [or had taken up] from Assos, they sailed to Crete.13 And even against, these men shall stand in the hill of Ebal to curse; Reuben, Gad, and Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali. (And opposite them, these tribes shall stand on Mount Ebal, when the curses be proclaimed; Reuben, Gad, and Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.)13 In that breadth of the large porch, that beholdeth to the east, shall be fifty cubits, (And the breadth of the courtyard, facing east, shall be fifty cubits,)13 Greece, and Tubal, and Meshech, they were thy merchants, and brought bondmen and brazen vessels to thy people (or and brought slaves and bronze vessels to thy people).13 To whom his mother said, My son, this cursing be in me, (or My son, any curse shall be upon me); only hear thou my voice, and go, and bring that that I said.13 And it shall be, in that day men shall come with a great trump, and they that were lost, shall come from the land of Assyrians, and they that were cast out, shall come from the land of Egypt; and they shall worship the Lord, in the holy hill of Jerusalem. (And it shall be, on that day people shall come at the call of a great trumpet, and they who were lost, shall come from the land of Assyria, and they who were cast out, shall come from the land of Egypt, and they shall worship the Lord, on the holy hill in Jerusalem.)13 Why shall ye die, thou and thy people, by sword, and hunger, and pestilence, as the Lord spake to the folk, that would not serve to the king of Babylon? (Why shall ye die, thou and thy people, by the sword, and hunger, and pestilence, as the Lord said would happen to any nation, that would not serve the king of Babylon?)13 This is the part of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of violent men, or raveners, which they shall take of Almighty God. (This is the portion from God for the wicked, and the inheritance for the violent, or the raveners, which they shall receive from Almighty God.)13 (for) which price, if he that offereth (it) will not give (it), he shall add the fifth part over the value (to buy it back).13 Then Pilate saith to him, Hearest thou not, how many things, [or how many witnessings, (or how many testimonies)], they say against thee?13 And when thou hast seen it, also thou shalt go to thy people, as thy brother Aaron went; (And when thou hast seen it, then thou also shalt go to thy people, that is, thou shalt die, like thy brother Aaron did;)13 Take thou away his cloth, that promised for a stranger; and take thou away a wed from him for an alien man. (Take thou away his cloak, who hath promised for a stranger; and take thou away a pledge from him for an unknown person.)13 I believe to see the goods of the Lord; in the land of living men. (I know that I shall see the goodness of the Lord; in the land of the living.)14 In the eleventh month, the eleventh prince was Benaiah (the) Pirathonite, of the sons of Ephraim, and four and twenty thousand were in his company.14 And not after much [time], the wind Tifonyk, that is called (the) northeast, [or (the) wind of tempest], was against it.14 And the deacons shall pronounce, and shall say with high voice to all the men of Israel, (And then the Levites shall pronounce, and shall say with a loud voice to all the Israelites,)14 in which the curtains of fifteen cubits shall be assigned to one side, and three pillars, and so many bases; (and on one side of the entrance there shall be curtains fifteen cubits long, with three pillars, and as many bases;)14 From the house of Togarmah they brought horses, and horsemen, and mules, to thy chapping.14 (And so) He went, and brought it, and gave it to his mother. She made ready meats, as she knew that his father would have, (or And she prepared the meat, in the way that she knew that his father would like it),14 Do not ye hear the words of prophets saying to you, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon; for they speak leasing to you (or for they say lies to you),14 If his children be multiplied, they shall be killed with (the) sword; and his sons shall not be [ful]filled with bread.14 If a man avoweth his house, and halloweth it to the Lord, the priest shall behold, whether it is good either evil, and by the price which is ordained of him, it shall be sold; (If a man voweth his house, and dedicateth it to the Lord, the priest shall look at it, and decide if it is good or bad, that is, he shall determine its value, and it shall be sold for the price which is ordained by him;)14 And he answered not to him any word, so that the justice [or the president] wondered greatly. (And he did not answer any word to him, so that the Governor greatly wondered.)14 for thou offendedest me in the desert of Zin, in the against-saying of the multitude, neither thou wouldest hallow me before the people, upon the waters. These be the waters of against-saying in Kadesh, in the desert of Zin. (for thou offendedest me in the wilderness of Zin, when the people spoke against me, and thou didest not uphold my holiness before the people, there at the waters. These be the waters of Meribah at Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin.)14 He that blesseth his neighbour with [a] great voice; and riseth by night, shall be like him that curseth (him). (He who blesseth his neighbour with a great voice, when he riseth at night, shall be likened to him who curseth him.)14 Abide thou the Lord, do thou manly; and thine heart be comforted, and suffer thou the Lord. (Wait thou for the Lord, be thou encouraged; let thy heart be strengthened, and wait thou for the Lord.)15 In the twelfth month, the twelfth prince was Heldai (the) Netophathite, of the generation of Othniel (or of the sons of Othniel), and four and twenty thousand were in his company.15 And when the ship was ravished, and might not enforce against the wind [or into the wind], when the ship was given (over) to the blowings of the wind, we were borne (And when the ship was snatched, or was seized, and could not endeavour against the wind, when the ship was given over to the blowing of the wind, we were borne)15 Cursed is the man that maketh a graven image and molten, abomination of the Lord, the work of the hands of craftsmen, and shall set it in a privy place; and all the people shall answer, and say, Amen! (Cursed is anyone who maketh a carved or a cast idol, an abomination to the Lord, the work of the hands of craftsmen, and then shall set it up in a secret place; and all the people shall answer, and say, Amen!)15 and in the other side shall be curtains holding fifteen cubits, and three pillars, and so many bases. (and on the other side of the entrance, there shall also be curtains fifteen cubits long, with three pillars, and as many bases.)15 The sons of Dedan were thy merchants; many isles (provided) the merchandise of thine hand, (they) (ex)changed teeth of ivory, and of ebony, in thy price (or at thy price).15 and she clothed Jacob in [the] full good clothes of Esau, which she had at home with herself (or which she had there at home with her).15 for I sent not them, saith the Lord; and they prophesy falsely in my name, that they cast out you, and that ye perish, both ye and the prophets that prophesy to you. (for I did not send them, saith the Lord; and they prophesy falsely in my name, and so I shall cast you out, and ye shall perish, both ye and the prophets who prophesy to you.)15 They, that be residue of him, shall be buried in perishing; and the widows of him shall not weep. (They, who be left of him, shall die from disease; and their widows shall not weep for them.)15 soothly if he that avowed will again-buy it, he shall give the fifth part of the value above, and he shall have the house. (and if he who vowed it will buy it back, he shall add the fifth part above its value, and then he shall have the house.)15 But for a solemn day the justice [or the president] was wont to deliver to the people one bound, whom they would. (And on a Feast Day, or during a Festival, the Governor had a custom to release one prisoner to the people, whomever they wanted.)15 To whom Moses answered,15 Roofs dropping in the day of cold, and a woman full of chiding, be likened together. (Roofs dripping rain on a cold day, and a woman full of arguments, or of bickering, be quite similar.)16 Forsooth these were the sovereigns of the lineages of Israel (or And these were the rulers of the tribes of Israel); duke Eliezer, the son of Zichri, was sovereign to Reubenites; duke Shephatiah, the son of Maachah, was sovereign to Simeonites;16 with course into an isle, that is called Clauda; and scarcely we might get a little boat (under control in these circumstances). (with course by an island called Cauda; and we were barely able to control the ship's little boat under such circumstances.)16 He is cursed that honoureth not, or despiseth, his father and mother; and all the people shall say, Amen! (Cursed is anyone who honoureth not his father or his mother; and all the people shall say, Amen!)16 Forsooth in the large entry of the porch shall be made a curtain of twenty cubits, of jacinth, and purple, and of red silk twice-dyed, and of bis folded again, by embroidery work; it shall have four pillars, with so many bases. (And at the entrance to the courtyard shall be a curtain twenty cubits long, made out of jacinth, and purple, and red silk twice-dyed, and finely woven linen, and embroidered; it shall be hung on four pillars, with as many bases.)16 Syria was thy merchant, for the multitude of thy works, they setted forth in thy market gem(s), and purple, and clothes woven diversely at the manner of shields, and bis, and silk, and coral, either avoirdupois.16 And she wrapped his hands about with little skins of (goat) kids, and covered the nakedness of his neck;16 And I spake to the priests, and to this people, and I said, The Lord God saith these things, Do not ye hear the words of your prophets, that prophesy to you, and say, Lo! the vessels of the (house of the) Lord shall turn again now soon from Babylon; for they prophesy a leasing to you. (And I spoke to the priests, and to this people, and I said, The Lord God saith these things, Do not ye listen to the words of your prophets, who prophesy to you, and say, Behold! the vessels of the House of the Lord shall soon be brought back from Babylon; for they prophesy a lie to you.)16 If he gathereth together silver as earth, and maketh ready clothes as (the) clay; (Yea, though he gathereth together silver like dust, and getteth himself heaps of clothes;)16 That if a man avoweth the field of his possession, and halloweth it to the Lord, the price shall be deemed by the measure of [the] seed, (or And if a man voweth the field of his possession, and dedicateth it to the Lord, its value shall be determined by the measure of its seed); if the field is sown with thirty bushels of barley, it shall be sold for fifty shekels of silver.16 And he had then a famous man bound [or Forsooth he had one famous man bound], that was said Barabbas. (And he had then a notorious prisoner, who was called Barabbas.)16 The Lord God of the spirits of all flesh, purvey a man, that he be on this multitude, (May the Lord God of the spirits of all people purvey a man who shall be over these people,)16 He that withholdeth her, (is) as if he holdeth (the) wind; and voideth the oil (out) of his right hand. (He who trieth to hold her, is like him who trieth to hold the wind; and like him who trieth to pick up oil with his fingers.)17 Hashabiah, the son of Kemuel, was sovereign to the Levites; Zadok was sovereign to Aaronites;17 And when this (little boat) was taken up, they used helps, girding together the ship; and dreaded (or and feared), lest they should fall into sandy places. And when the vessel was under-set, so they were borne.17 Cursed is he that over-beareth, or undoeth, the terms of his neighbour; and all the people shall say, Amen! (Cursed is anyone who turneth over, or moveth, his neighbour's boundary stones; and all the people shall say, Amen!)17 All the pillars of the great porch by compass shall be clothed with plates of silver, with hooks of silver, and with bases of brass. (All the pillars around the courtyard shall have silver bands, silver hooks, and bronze bases.)17 Judah and the land of Israel were thy merchants in the best wheat, and setted forth in thy fairs balm, and honey, and oil, and resin. (Judah and the land of Israel were thy merchants of the wheat of Minnith, and set forth in thy fairs balm, and honey, and oil, and resin.)17 and she gave to him the stew (or and then she gave him the stew), and betook (to) him [the] loaves, which she had baked.17 Therefore do not ye hear them, but serve ye the king of Babylon, that ye live; why is this city given into wilderness? (And so do not ye listen to them, but serve ye the king of Babylon, so that ye can live; why should this city be turned into a wilderness?)17 soothly he made these things ready, but a just man shall be clothed in those things, and an innocent man shall part the silver. (truly he got these things, but the righteous shall be clothed in them, and the innocent shall divide, or shall share, the silver.)17 If he avoweth the field anon from the year of [the] beginning of the jubilee, as much as it may be worth, by so much it shall be appraised; (If he voweth the field from the beginning of the Jubilee Year, it shall be worth as much as it shall be appraised for;)17 Therefore Pilate said to them, when they were [gathered] together, Whom will ye, that I deliver to you [or that I leave to you]? whether Barabbas, or Jesus, that is said Christ? (And so Pilate said to them, when they were gathered together, Whom do ye desire, that I release to you? or Whom do ye want, that I let go to you? Barabbas, or Jesus, who is called the Messiah?)17 and that may go out (or and who can go out), and enter in before them, and lead them out, and lead them in, lest the people of the Lord be as sheep without (a) shepherd.17 Iron is whetted by iron; and a man whetteth the face of his friend. (Iron is sharpened by iron; and a man sharpeneth his friend's mind.)18 Elihu, the brother of David, was sovereign to the lineage of Judah, (or Elihu, David's brother, was the ruler of the tribe of Judah); Omri, the son of Michael, was sovereign to Issacharites.18 And for we were thrown with (a) strong tempest, in the day (pur)suing they made casting out. (And because we were tossed about by a strong tempest, on the following day they began to throw out the cargo.)18 Cursed is he that maketh a blind man to err in the way; and all the people shall say, Amen! (Cursed is anyone who leadeth a blind man astray; and all the people shall say, Amen!)18 The great porch shall occupy an hundred cubits in length, fifty in breadth; the height of the curtains shall be of five cubits; and it shall be made of bis folded again; and it shall have brazen bases. (The courtyard shall be a hundred cubits in length, fifty cubits in breadth, and five cubits in height; the curtains shall be made out of finely woven linen, and the bases made out of bronze.)18 Damascus was thy merchant, in the multitude of thy works, in the multitude of diverse riches, in fat wine (or in the wine of Helbon), and wools of (the) best colour.18 And when these were brought in, he said, My father! And he answered, I (am) here; (but) who art thou, my son?18 And if they be prophets, and if the word of God is in them, run they (now) to the Lord of hosts, (and plead) that the vessels, which were left in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem, come not into Babylon (or be not taken away to Babylon).18 As a moth he hath builded his house, and as a keeper he made a shadowing place. (Like a moth, he hath built his house, and he hath made his place of shade like a watchman.)18 but if it be after some part of time, the priest shall reckon, either determine, the money by the number of the years that be left till to the jubilee, and it shall be withdrawn of the price. (but if it be after some time, the priest shall determine its value by the number of years that be left until the Jubilee, and that shall be deducted from the price.)18 For he knew, that by envy they betrayed him [or they betook him]. (For he knew, that they had betrayed him, or that they had delivered him, out of envy.)18 And the Lord said to Moses, Take thou Joshua, the son of Nun, a man in whom the spirit of God is (or a man in whom is the spirit of God), and put thine hand upon him;18 He that keepeth a fig tree (safe), shall eat the fruits thereof; and he that is a keeper of his lord, shall be glorified. (He who keepeth a fig tree safe, shall eat its fruits; and he who keepeth his lord safe, shall be honoured.)19 Ishmaiah, the son of Obadiah, was sovereign to Zebulunites; Jerimoth, the son of Azriel, was sovereign to Naphtalites;19 And the third day with their hands they cast away the instruments of the ship.19 He is cursed that perverteth the doom of a comeling, of a fatherless, either motherless child, and of a widow; and all the people shall say, Amen! (Cursed is anyone who withholdeth justice, or their rights, from the newcomer, the fatherless or the motherless child, and the widow; and all the people shall say, Amen!)19 Thou shalt make of brass all the vessels of the tabernacle, into all uses and ceremonies, as well (as) the stakes thereof, as (also those) of the great entry. (Thou shalt make out of bronze all the vessels for use in all the ceremonies in the Tabernacle, as well as its pegs, and the pegs for the courtyard.)19 Dan, and Greece, and Uzal, setted forth in thy fairs iron made subtly, gum of myrrh, and calamus, that is, a spice sweet smelling, in thy merchandise. (Dan, and Greece, and Mosel, set forth in thy markets wrought iron, and gum of myrrh, and calamus, that is, a sweet smelling spice, for thy merchandise.)19 And Jacob said, I am Esau, thy first begotten son. I have done to thee as thou commandedest to me; rise thou up, and sit, and eat of my venison, that thy soul bless me. (And Jacob said, I am Esau, thy first-born son. I have done for thee as thou commandedest me; rise thou up, and sit, and eat my venison, and then afterward thou can bless me.)19 For the Lord of hosts saith these things to the pillars, and to the sea, that is, a great washing vessel, and to the foundaments, and to the remnants of [the] vessels, that were left in this city, (For the Lord of hosts saith these things about the pillars, and the sea, that is, a great washing vessel, and their bases, and the remnants of the vessels, that were left in this city,)19 A rich man, when he shall die, shall bear nothing with him; he shall open his eyes, and he shall find nothing.19 That if he that avowed will again-buy the field, he shall add the fifth part of the money that (it) is appraised (for), and he shall wield it; (And if he, who vowed the field, will buy it back, he shall add a fifth part to the value that it is appraised for, and then it shall be his;)19 And while he sat for doomsman [or for judge], his wife sent to him, and said, Nothing to thee and to that just man (or Do not have anything to do with that innocent man); for I have suffered this day many things for him, by a vision.19 and he shall stand before Eleazar, the priest, and before all the multitude. And thou shalt give to him behests, in the sight of all men, (or And thou shalt give him his orders, or his commission, in the sight of all the people),19 As the cheers of men beholding (themselves) shine in waters; so the hearts of men be open to prudent men. (Like the faces of people beholding themselves shine in the water; so people's hearts be open to prudent people.)20 Hoshea, the son of Azaziah, was sovereign to the sons of Ephraim; Joel, the son of Pedaiah, was sovereign to the half lineage of Manasseh, (or Joel, the son of Pedaiah, was the ruler of the western half of the tribe of Manasseh);20 And when [neither] the sun neither the stars were seen by many days, and tempest not a little nighed, now all the hope of our health was done away. (And when neither the sun nor the stars were seen for many days, and a great tempest approached, now all the hope for our deliverance was gone.)20 Cursed is (he) that sleepeth with his father's wife, and showeth the private(s) of his bed; and all the people shall say, Amen!20 Command thou also to the sons of Israel, that they bring to thee the cleanest oil of olive trees, and pounded with a pestle, that a lantern burn ever[more] (And command to the Israelites, that they bring thee the purest olive oil, yea, pounded with a pestle, so that the lantern shall burn forevermore)20 Dedan were thy merchants, in tapets to sit (upon). (Dedan were thy merchants of carpets to sit upon.)20 Again Isaac said to his son, My son, how mightest thou find (this) venison so soon? Which answered, It was God's will, that this thing that I would, should come soon to me. (And Isaac said to his son, My son, how mightest thou find this venison so soon? And Jacob answered, It was God's will, that what I desired, should come so soon to me.)20 which Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, took not, when he translated Jeconiah (or when he carried away captive Jeconiah), the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, from Jerusalem into Babylon, and all the principal men of Judah and of Jerusalem.20 Poverty as water shall take him (or Poverty shall overtake him like a flood); and (a) tempest shall oppress him in the night.20 but if he will not again-buy it, but it is sold to any other man, he that avowed it shall never be able to again-buy it; (but if he will not buy it back, and it is sold to another man, then he who vowed it shall never be able to buy it back;)20 Forsooth the princes of (the) priests, and the elder men counselled the people, (or But the high priests, and the elders counselled the people), that they should ask (for) Barabbas, but (that) they should (seek to) destroy Jesus.20 and a part of thy glory, that all the synagogue of the sons of Israel hear him. (and some of thy authority, so that all the congregation of the Israelites shall listen to him, and shall follow him.)20 Hell and perdition shall not be filled; so and the eyes of men be not able to be (ful)filled. (Sheol, or the land of the dead, and perdition, or Hell and perdition, shall never be filled full; and the eyes, or the appetites, of people shall never be fulfilled, or satisfied.)21 and Iddo, the son of Zechariah, was sovereign to the (other) half lineage of Manasseh in Gilead; and Jaasiel, the son of Abner, was sovereign to Benjamin; (and Iddo, the son of Zechariah, was the ruler of the eastern half of the tribe of Manasseh in Gilead; and Jaasiel, the son of Abner, was the ruler of Benjamin;)21 And when much fasting had been, then Paul stood in the middle of them, and said, A! men, [or O! men], it behooved, when ye heard me, not to have taken away the ship from Crete, and get this wrong and (this) casting out.21 Cursed is he that sleepeth with any beast; and all the people shall say, Amen!21 in the tabernacle of witnessing without the veil, which is hanged in the tabernacle of witnessing; and Aaron and his sons shall set it, that it shine before the Lord (from eventide) till (to) the morrowtide; it shall be everlasting worshipping by their successions, or after-comings, of the sons of Israel. (in the Tabernacle of the Witnessing, outside the Veil which is hung in front of the Witnessing; and Aaron and his sons shall set it, so that it will shine before the Lord from the evening until the morning; this is an everlasting command for their successors, or after-comers, among the Israelites.)21 Arabia and all the princes of Kedar, they were the merchants of thine hand; with lambs, and wethers, and (goat) kids, (they) thy merchants came to thee.21 And Isaac said, My son, come thou hither, (so) that I (can) touch thee, and that I prove whether thou be my son Esau, or nay.21 For the Lord of hosts, God of Israel, saith these things to the vessels that be left in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem, (For the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saith these things about the vessels that be left in the House of the Lord, and in the house of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem,)21 Burning wind shall take him (up), and it shall do him away; and as a whirlwind it shall ravish him from his place (or and like a whirlwind it shall snatch him away from his place).21 for when the day of jubilee cometh, that field shall be hallowed to the Lord, and the possession hallowed pertaineth to the right of priests. (for when the Jubilee Year cometh, that field shall be holy to the Lord, and dedicated possessions belong to the priests.)21 But the justice [or the president] answered, and said to them, Whom of the twain will ye, that be delivered, [or be left], (or be let go), to you? And they said, Barabbas. (But the Governor answered, and said to them, Whom of the two do ye desire to be released, or to be let go, to you? And they said, Barabbas.)21 If anything shall be worthy to be done for this man, Joshua, Eleazar, the priest, shall counsel the Lord; he shall go out, and shall go in, at the word of Eleazar; he, and all the sons of Israel with him, and the tother multitude. (And if anything shall be worthy to be done for this man, Joshua, Eleazar, the priest, shall ask counsel from the Urim and the Thummim, before the Lord; he shall go out, and shall go in, at the word of Eleazar; he, and all the multitude of the Israelites.)21 As silver is proved in a welling place, and gold is proved in a furnace; so a man is proved by the mouth of his praisers (or so a person is proved, or assayed, by the words of his praisers).22 and Azareel, the son of Jeroham, was sovereign to Dan; these were the princes of the sons of Israel. (and Azareel, the son of Jeroham, was the ruler of Dan; these were the leaders of the Israelites.)22 And now I counsel you to be of good comfort [or of good heart], for loss of no person of you shall be [or soothly there shall be loss of no soul of you], (no), except of the ship.22 Cursed is he that sleepeth with his sister, the daughter of his father, either of his mother; and all the people shall say, Amen!22 The sellers of Sheba and of Raamah, they were thy merchants, with all the best sweet smelling spices, and precious stone, and gold, which they setted forth in thy market.22 (And) Jacob nighed to his father; and when Isaac had feeled him, he said, Soothly the voice is the voice of Jacob, but the hands be the hands of Esau.22 They shall be translated, either led over, into Babylon, and shall be (left) there unto the day of their visitation, saith the Lord; and (then) I shall make those to be brought (back), and to be restored in this place.22 The Lord shall send out (these) torments upon him, and shall not spare; (and) he fleeing shall flee from his hand.22 If the field is bought, and is not of the possession of greater men, that is, of ancestors, and it is hallowed to the Lord, (If a field is bought, and it is not part of a person's ancestral land, and it is holy to the Lord,)22 Pilate saith to them, What then shall I do of Jesus, that is said Christ? All they say, Be he crucified. (Pilate said to them, Then what should I do with Jesus, who is called the Messiah? And they all cried, Crucify him!)22 Moses did as the Lord commanded, and when he had taken Joshua, he set him before Eleazar, the priest; and before all the multitude of the people;22 Though thou poundedest a fool in a mortar, as with a pestle smiting above dried barley (or like pounding dried barley with a pestle), his folly shall not be done away from him.23 And David would not number them that were within twenty years, for the Lord [had] said, that he would multiply Israel as the stars of heaven. (But David did not list those who were under twenty years of age, for the Lord had said that he would multiply Israel like the stars in the heavens.)23 For an angel of God, whose I am, and to whom I serve, stood nigh to me in this night,23 Cursed is he that sleepeth with his wife's mother; and all the people shall say, Amen!23 Haran, and Canneh, and Eden, were thy merchants; Sheba, and Assur, and Chilmad, were thy sellers.23 And Isaac knew not Jacob, for the hairy hands showed the likeness of the elder son. Therefore Isaac blessed Jacob (or And so that is why Isaac would soon bless Jacob),23 He shall constrain his hands on him, and he shall hiss on him, and shall behold his place. (The wind shall clap its hands at him, and shall hiss at him, wherever he may go.)23 the priest shall determine the price by the number of years till to the jubilee, and he that avowed the field shall give the price thereof to the Lord; (the priest shall determine its value by the number of years until the Jubilee, and he who vowed the field shall pay its value to the Lord;)23 The justice [or The president] saith to them (or The Governor said to them), What evil hath he done? And they cried more, and said, Be he crucified.23 and when he had put his hands upon his head, he rehearsed all things that the Lord commanded. (and when he had laid his hands upon his head, he repeated all the things that the Lord had commanded.)23 Know thou diligently the cheer of thy beast; and behold thou thy flocks. (Diligently know the faces of thy beasts; and keep watch thou over thy flocks.)24 Joab, the son of Zeruiah, began for to number Israel, but he fulfilled not; for ire of God fell upon Israel for this thing, and therefore the number of them that were numbered, was not told in the books of (the) chronicles of king David. (Joab, the son of Zeruiah, began to count the Israelites, but he did not finish the census; for God's anger fell upon the Israelites for this thing, and so the number of them who were counted, was not told in the books of The Chronicles of King David.)24 and said, Paul, dread thou not (or fear not); it behooveth thee to stand before the emperor [or it behooveth thee to stand nigh to Caesar]. And lo! God hath given to thee all that be in the ship with thee.24 Cursed is he that slayeth privily his neighbour; and all the people shall say, Amen! (or Cursed is anyone who secretly killeth his neighbour; and all the people shall say, Amen!) Cursed is he that sleepeth with his neighbour's wife; and all the people shall say, Amen!24 They were thy merchants in many manners, in fardels of jacinth, and of clothes of many colours, and of precious riches, that were wrapped and bound with cords.24 and (so he) said (again), Art thou my son Esau? (And) Jacob answered, I am.24 forsooth in the jubilee it shall turn again to the former lord that sold it, and he shall have it into the heritage of his possession. (but in the Jubilee Year it shall return to the original owner who sold it, and it shall be in the inheritance of his possession.)24 And Pilate seeing that he profited nothing, but that the more noise was made (or but that only a greater commotion was made), he took water, and washed his hands before the people, and said, I am guiltless of the blood of this rightful man; busy you (or let it be your concern). [Forsooth Pilate seeing that he profited nothing, but (that) the more a noise was made, (after some) water (was) taken, he washed his hands before the people, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just man; see ye.]24 For thou shalt not have power continually; but a crown shall be given to thee in generation and into generation. (For thou shalt not have wealth forever; nor shall a crown endure for generations and generations.)25 Forsooth Azmaveth, the son of Adiel, was (sovereign) on the treasuries of the king; but Jehonathan, the son of Uzziah, was sovereign over these treasures, that were in cities, and in towns, and in towers. (And Azmaveth, the son of Adiel, was in charge of the king's treasuries; and Jehonathan, the son of Uzziah, was in charge of his treasures, or of his treasuries, that were in the cities, and in the towns, and in the towers.)25 For which thing, ye men, be of good comfort [or be of good heart]; for I believe to my God (or for I believe my God), that so it shall be, as it is said to me.25 Cursed is he that taketh gifts, that he smite the life of innocent blood; and all the people shall say, Amen! (Cursed is anyone who taketh money, or a reward, to kill an innocent person; and all the people shall say, Amen!)25 Also ships of the sea had cedars in their merchandises; thy princes were in thy merchandise; and thou were [ful]filled, and were glorified greatly in the heart of the sea. (And the ships of Tarshish had cedars for their merchandise; they were filled full, and thou were greatly glorified in the heart of the sea.)25 And Isaac said, My son, bring thou to me meats of thine hunting, that my soul bless thee. And when Isaac had eaten these meats brought (to him), Jacob brought also wine to Isaac, and when this was drunken, (And Isaac said, My son, bring thou to me the meats of thy hunting, and then afterward I shall bless thee. And when Isaac had eaten the meat brought to him, Jacob also brought him some wine, and when he had drunk it,)25 All the appraising, or value, shall be weighed by the shekel of the saintuary (or shall be made with the shekel of the sanctuary); a shekel hath twenty halfpence.25 And all the people answered, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.25 Meadows be opened, and green herbs appeared; and hay is gathered from [the] hills (or and the grass is gathered from the hills).26 And Ezri, the son of Chelub, was sovereign upon the work of husbandry, and upon [the] earth-tillers, that tilled the land (or who worked the land);26 And it behooveth us to come into some isle.26 Cursed is he that abideth not in the words of this law, neither fulfilleth them in work (nor fulfilleth them with deeds); and all the people shall say, Amen!26 Thy rowers brought thee in(to) many waters, (but) the south wind all-brake thee; in the heart of the sea were (Thy rowers brought thee into many waters, but the east wind broke thee in pieces, in the heart of the sea.)26 Isaac said to him, My son, come thou hither, and give to me a kiss.26 No man may hallow and avow the first engendered things that pertain to the Lord, whether it is (an) ox, or (a) sheep, (for) they be the Lord's part.26 Then he delivered, [or he left], (or he let go), to them Barabbas, but he [be]took to them Jesus scourged, to be crucified. (Then he released, or he let go, Barabbas to them, but he delivered Jesus unto them, after that he had been scourged, to be crucified.)26 Lambs be to thy clothing; and kids be to the price of the field. (Lambs be for thy clothing; and goat kids be worth the price of a field.)
