(1) The heaven and the earth were finished, and all their array. (2) On the seventh day God finished the work that had been undertaken: [God] ceased on the seventh day from doing any of the work. (3) And God blessed the seventh day and declared it holy—having ceased on it from all the work of creation that God had done.

(22) On the sixth day they gathered double the amount of food, two omers for each; and when all the chieftains of the community came and told Moses, (23) he said to them, “This is what יהוה meant: Tomorrow is a day of rest, a holy sabbath of יהוה. Bake what you would bake and boil what you would boil; and all that is left put aside to be kept until morning.” (24) So they put it aside until morning, as Moses had ordered; and it did not turn foul, and there were no maggots in it. (25) Then Moses said, “Eat it today, for today is a sabbath of יהוה; you will not find it today on the plain. (26) Six days you shall gather it; on the seventh day, the sabbath, there will be none.” (27) Yet some of the people went out on the seventh day to gather, but they found nothing. (28) And יהוה said to Moses, “How long will you all refuse to obey My commandments and My teachings? (29) Mark that it is יהוה who, having given you the sabbath, therefore gives you two days’ food on the sixth day. Let everyone remain in place: let no one leave the vicinity on the seventh day.” (30) So the people remained inactive on the seventh day.

(1) God spoke all these words, saying: (2) I יהוה am your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, the house of bondage: (3) You shall have no other gods besides Me. (4) You shall not make for yourself a sculptured image, or any likeness of what is in the heavens above, or on the earth below, or in the waters under the earth. (5) You shall not bow down to them or serve them. For I your God יהוה am an impassioned God, visiting the guilt of the parents upon the children, upon the third and upon the fourth generations of those who reject Me, (6) but showing kindness to the thousandth generation of those who love Me and keep My commandments. (7) You shall not swear falsely by the name of your God יהוה; for יהוה will not clear one who swears falsely by God’s name. (8) Remember the sabbath day and keep it holy. (9) Six days you shall labor and do all your work, (10) but the seventh day is a sabbath of your God יהוה: you shall not do any work—you, your son or daughter, your male or female slave, or your cattle, or the stranger who is within your settlements. (11) For in six days יהוה made heaven and earth and sea—and all that is in them—and then rested on the seventh day; therefore יהוה blessed the sabbath day and hallowed it. (12) Honor your father and your mother, that you may long endure on the land that your God יהוה is assigning to you. (13) You shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. (14) You shall not covet your neighbor’s house: you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or male or female slave, or ox or ass, or anything that is your neighbor’s.

(1) Moses summoned all the Israelites and said to them: Hear, O Israel, the laws and rules that I proclaim to you this day! Study them and observe them faithfully! (2) Our God יהוה made a covenant with us at Horeb. (3) It was not with our ancestors that יהוה made this covenant, but with us, the living, every one of us who is here today. (4) Face to face יהוה spoke to you on the mountain out of the fire— (5) I stood between יהוה and you at that time to convey יהוה’s words to you, for you were afraid of the fire and did not go up the mountain—saying: (6) I יהוה am your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, the house of bondage: (7) You shall have no other gods beside Me. (8) You shall not make for yourself a sculptured image, any likeness of what is in the heavens above, or on the earth below, or in the waters below the earth. (9) You shall not bow down to them or serve them. For I your God יהוה am an impassioned God, visiting the guilt of the parents upon the children, upon the third and upon the fourth generations of those who reject Me, (10) but showing kindness to the thousandth generation of those who love Me and keep My commandments. (11) You shall not swear falsely by the name of your God יהוה; for יהוה will not clear one who swears falsely by God’s name. (12) Observe the sabbath day and keep it holy, as your God יהוה has commanded you. (13) Six days you shall labor and do all your work, (14) but the seventh day is a sabbath of your God יהוה; you shall not do any work—you, your son or your daughter, your male or female slave, your ox or your ass, or any of your cattle, or the stranger in your settlements, so that your male and female slave may rest as you do. (15) Remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt and your God יהוה freed you from there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm; therefore your God יהוה has commanded you to observe the sabbath day. (16) Honor your father and your mother, as your God יהוה has commanded you, that you may long endure, and that you may fare well, in the land that your God יהוה is assigning to you. (17) You shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. (18) You [men] shall not covet your neighbor’s wife. Likewise, none of you shall crave your neighbor’s house, or field, or male or female slave, or ox, or ass, or anything that is your neighbor’s.

(1) יהוה spoke to Moses, saying: (2) Speak to the Israelite people and say to them: These are My fixed times, the fixed times of יהוה, which you shall proclaim as sacred occasions. (3) On six days work may be done, but on the seventh day there shall be a sabbath of complete rest, a sacred occasion. You shall do no work; it shall be a sabbath of יהוה throughout your settlements.

(1) יהוה spoke to Moses, saying: (2) Command the Israelite people and say to them: Be punctilious in presenting to Me at stated times the offerings of food due Me, as offerings by fire of pleasing odor to Me. (3) Say to them: These are the offerings by fire that you are to present to יהוה: As a regular burnt offering every day, two yearling lambs without blemish. (4) You shall offer one lamb in the morning, and the other lamb you shall offer at twilight. (5) And as a meal offering, there shall be a tenth of an ephah of choice flour with a quarter of a hin of beaten oil mixed in— (6) the regular burnt offering instituted at Mount Sinai —an offering by fire of pleasing odor to יהוה. (7) The libation with it shall be a quarter of a hin for each lamb, to be poured in the sacred precinct as an offering of fermented drink to יהוה. (8) The other lamb you shall offer at twilight, preparing the same meal offering and libation as in the morning—an offering by fire of pleasing odor to יהוה. (9) On the sabbath day: two yearling lambs without blemish, together with two-tenths of a measure of choice flour with oil mixed in as a meal offering, and with the proper libation— (10) a burnt offering for every sabbath, in addition to the regular burnt offering and its libation.
(ל) אֶת־שַׁבְּתֹתַ֣י תִּשְׁמֹ֔רוּ וּמִקְדָּשִׁ֖י תִּירָ֑אוּ אֲנִ֖י יְהֹוָֽה׃
(30) You shall keep My sabbaths and venerate My sanctuary: I am יהוה.

(32) Once, when the Israelites were in the wilderness, they came upon a man gathering wood on the sabbath day. (33) Those who found him as he was gathering wood brought him before Moses, Aaron, and the community leadership. (34) He was placed in custody, for it had not been specified what should be done to him. (35) Then יהוה said to Moses, “The party in question shall be put to death: the community leadership shall pelt him with stones outside the camp.” (36) So the community leadership took him outside the camp and stoned him to death—as יהוה had commanded Moses.

(21) Thus said the LORD: Guard yourselves for your own sake against carrying burdens on the sabbath day, and bringing them through the gates of Jerusalem. (22) Nor shall you carry out burdens from your houses on the sabbath day, or do any work, but you shall hallow the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers. (23) (But they would not listen or turn their ear; they stiffened their necks and would not pay heed or accept discipline.) (24) If you obey Me—declares the LORD—and do not bring in burdens through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but hallow the sabbath day and do no work on it, (25) then through the gates of this city shall enter kings who sit upon the throne of David, with their officers—riding on chariots and horses, they and their officers—and the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And this city shall be inhabited for all time. (26) And people shall come from the towns of Judah and from the environs of Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the Shephelah, and from the hill country, and from the Negeb, bringing burnt offerings and sacrifices, meal offerings and frankincense, and bringing offerings of thanksgiving to the House of the LORD. (27) But if you do not obey My command to hallow the sabbath day and to carry in no burdens through the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day, then I will set fire to its gates; it shall consume the fortresses of Jerusalem and it shall not be extinguished.

(32) Also some of their Kohathite kinsmen had charge of the rows of bread, to prepare them for each sabbath.

(27) Among the last acts of David was the counting of the Levites from the age of twenty and upward. (28) For their appointment was alongside the Aaronites for the service of the House of the LORD, to look after the courts and the chambers, and the purity of all the holy things, and the performance of the service of the House of God, (29) and the rows of bread, and the fine flour for the meal offering, and the unleavened wafers, and the cakes made on the griddle and soaked, and every measure of capacity and length; (30) and to be present every morning to praise and extol the LORD, and at evening too, (31) and whenever offerings were made to the LORD, according to the quantities prescribed for them, on sabbaths, new moons and holidays, regularly, before the LORD;

(11) Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. (12) He did what was displeasing to the LORD his God; he did not humble himself before the prophet Jeremiah, who spoke for the LORD. (13) He also rebelled against Nebuchadnezzar, who made him take an oath by God; he stiffened his neck and hardened his heart so as not to turn to the LORD God of Israel. (14) All the officers of the priests and the people committed many trespasses, following all the abominable practices of the nations. They polluted the House of the LORD, which He had consecrated in Jerusalem. (15) The LORD God of their fathers had sent word to them through His messengers daily without fail, for He had pity on His people and His dwelling-place. (16) But they mocked the messengers of God and disdained His words and taunted His prophets until the wrath of the LORD against His people grew beyond remedy. (17) He therefore brought the king of the Chaldeans upon them, who killed their youths by the sword in their sanctuary; He did not spare youth, maiden, elder, or graybeard, but delivered all into his hands. (18) All the vessels of the House of God, large and small, and the treasures of the House of the LORD and the treasures of the king and his officers were all brought to Babylon. (19) They burned the House of God and tore down the wall of Jerusalem, burned down all its mansions, and consigned all its precious objects to destruction. (20) Those who survived the sword he exiled to Babylon, and they became his and his sons’ servants till the rise of the Persian kingdom, (21) in fulfillment of the word of the LORD spoken by Jeremiah, until the land paid back its sabbaths; as long as it lay desolate it kept sabbath, till seventy years were completed. (22) And in the first year of King Cyrus of Persia, when the word of the LORD spoken by Jeremiah was fulfilled, the LORD roused the spirit of King Cyrus of Persia to issue a proclamation throughout his realm by word of mouth and in writing, as follows: (23) “Thus said King Cyrus of Persia: The LORD God of Heaven has given me all the kingdoms of the earth, and has charged me with building Him a House in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Any one of you of all His people, the LORD his God be with him and let him go up.”

(1) On the twenty-fourth day of this month, the Israelites assembled, fasting, in sackcloth, and with earth upon them. (2) Those of the stock of Israel separated themselves from all foreigners, and stood and confessed their sins and the iniquities of their fathers. (3) Standing in their places, they read from the scroll of the Teaching of the LORD their God for one-fourth of the day, and for another fourth they confessed and prostrated themselves before the LORD their God. (4) On the raised platform of the Levites stood Jeshua and Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani, and cried in a loud voice to the LORD their God. (5) The Levites Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, and Pethahiah said, “Rise, bless the LORD your God who is from eternity to eternity: ‘May Your glorious name be blessed, exalted though it is above every blessing and praise!’ (6) “You alone are the LORD. You made the heavens, the highest heavens, and all their host, the earth and everything upon it, the seas and everything in them. You keep them all alive, and the host of heaven prostrate themselves before You. (7) You are the LORD God, who chose Abram, who brought him out of Ur of the Chaldeans and changed his name to Abraham. (8) Finding his heart true to You, You made a covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Jebusite, and the Girgashite—to give it to his descendants. And You kept Your word, for You are righteous. (9) You took note of our fathers’ affliction in Egypt, and heard their cry at the Sea of Reeds. (10) You performed signs and wonders against Pharaoh, all his servants, and all the people of his land, for You knew that they acted presumptuously toward them. You made a name for Yourself that endures to this day. (11) You split the sea before them; they passed through the sea on dry land, but You threw their pursuers into the depths, like a stone into the raging waters. (12) “You led them by day with a pillar of cloud, and by night with a pillar of fire, to give them light in the way they were to go. (13) You came down on Mount Sinai and spoke to them from heaven; You gave them right rules and true teachings, good laws and commandments. (14) You made known to them Your holy sabbath, and You ordained for them laws, commandments and Teaching, through Moses Your servant. (15) You gave them bread from heaven when they were hungry, and produced water from a rock when they were thirsty. You told them to go and possess the land that You swore to give them. (16) But they—our fathers—acted presumptuously; they stiffened their necks and did not obey Your commandments. (17) Refusing to obey, unmindful of Your wonders that You did for them, they stiffened their necks, and in their defiance resolved to return to their slavery. But You, being a forgiving God, gracious and compassionate, long-suffering and abounding in faithfulness, did not abandon them. (18) Even though they made themselves a molten calf and said, ‘This is your God who brought you out of Egypt,’ thus committing great impieties, (19) You, in Your abundant compassion, did not abandon them in the wilderness. The pillar of cloud did not depart from them to lead them on the way by day, nor the pillar of fire by night to give them light in the way they were to go. (20) You endowed them with Your good spirit to instruct them. You did not withhold Your manna from their mouth; You gave them water when they were thirsty. (21) Forty years You sustained them in the wilderness so that they lacked nothing; their clothes did not wear out, and their feet did not swell. (22) “You gave them kingdoms and peoples, and allotted them territory.-b They took possession of the land of Sihon, the land of the king of Heshbon, and the land of Og, king of Bashan. (23) You made their children as numerous as the stars of heaven, and brought them to the land which You told their fathers to go and possess. (24) The sons came and took possession of the land: You subdued the Canaanite inhabitants of the land before them; You delivered them into their power, both their kings and the peoples of the land, to do with them as they pleased. (25) They captured fortified cities and rich lands; they took possession of houses filled with every good thing, of hewn cisterns, vineyards, olive trees, and fruit trees in abundance. They ate, they were filled, they grew fat; they luxuriated in Your great bounty. (26) Then, defying You, they rebelled; they cast Your Teaching behind their back. They killed Your prophets who admonished them to turn them back to You; they committed great impieties. (27) “You delivered them into the power of their adversaries who oppressed them. In their time of trouble they cried to You; You in heaven heard them, and in Your abundant compassion gave them saviors who saved them from the power of their adversaries. (28) But when they had relief, they again did what was evil in Your sight, so You abandoned them to the power of their enemies, who subjugated them. Again they cried to You, and You in heaven heard and rescued them in Your compassion, time after time. (29) You admonished them in order to turn them back to Your Teaching, but they acted presumptuously and disobeyed Your commandments, and sinned against Your rules, by following which a man shall live. They turned a defiant shoulder, stiffened their neck, and would not obey. (30) You bore with them for many years, admonished them by Your spirit through Your prophets, but they would not give ear, so You delivered them into the power of the peoples of the lands. (31) Still, in Your great compassion You did not make an end of them or abandon them, for You are a gracious and compassionate God. (32) “And now, our God, great, mighty, and awesome God, who stays faithful to His covenant, do not treat lightly all the suffering that has overtaken us—our kings, our officers, our priests, our prophets, our fathers, and all Your people—from the time of the Assyrian kings to this day. (33) Surely You are in the right with respect to all that has come upon us, for You have acted faithfully, and we have been wicked. (34) Our kings, officers, priests, and fathers did not follow Your Teaching, and did not listen to Your commandments or to the warnings that You gave them. (35) When they had their own kings and enjoyed the good that You lavished upon them, and the broad and rich land that You put at their disposal, they would not serve You, and did not turn from their wicked deeds. (36) Today we are slaves, and the land that You gave our fathers to enjoy its fruit and bounty—here we are slaves on it! (37) On account of our sins it yields its abundant crops to kings whom You have set over us. They rule over our bodies and our beasts as they please, and we are in great distress.

(15) At that time I saw men in Judah treading winepresses on the sabbath, and others bringing heaps of grain and loading them onto asses, also wine, grapes, figs, and all sorts of goods, and bringing them into Jerusalem on the sabbath. I admonished them there and then for selling provisions. (16) Tyrians who lived there brought fish and all sorts of wares and sold them on the sabbath to the Judahites in Jerusalem. (17) I censured the nobles of Judah, saying to them, “What evil thing is this that you are doing, profaning the sabbath day! (18) This is just what your ancestors did, and for it God brought all this misfortune on this city; and now you give cause for further wrath against Israel by profaning the sabbath!” (19) When shadows filled the gateways of Jerusalem at the approach of the sabbath, I gave orders that the doors be closed, and ordered them not to be opened until after the sabbath. I stationed some of my servants at the gates, so that no goods should enter on the sabbath. (20) Once or twice the merchants and the vendors of all sorts of wares spent the night outside Jerusalem, (21) but I warned them, saying, “What do you mean by spending the night alongside the wall? If you do so again, I will lay hands upon you!” From then on they did not come on the sabbath. (22) I gave orders to the Levites to purify themselves and come and guard the gates, to preserve the sanctity of the sabbath.
This too, O my God, remember to my credit, and spare me in accord with your abundant faithfulness.

(1) Cry with full throat, without restraint;
Raise your voice like a ram’s horn!
Declare to My people their transgression,
To the House of Jacob their sin.
(2) To be sure, they seek Me daily,
Eager to learn My ways.
Like a nation that does what is right,
That has not abandoned the laws of its God,
They ask Me for the right way,
They are eager for the nearness of God: (3) “Why, when we fasted, did You not see?
When we starved our bodies, did You pay no heed?”
Because on your fast day
You see to your business
And oppress all your laborers! (4) Because you fast in strife and contention,
And you strike with a wicked fist!
Your fasting today is not such
As to make your voice heard on high. (5) Is such the fast I desire,
A day for men to starve their bodies?
Is it bowing the head like a bulrush
And lying in sackcloth and ashes?
Do you call that a fast,
A day when the LORD is favorable? (6) No, this is the fast I desire:
To unlock fetters of wickedness,
And untie the cords of the yoke-a
To let the oppressed go free;
To break off every yoke. (7) It is to share your bread with the hungry,
And to take the wretched poor into your home;
When you see the naked, to clothe him,
And not to ignore your own kin.
(8) Then shall your light burst through like the dawn
And your healing spring up quickly;
Your Vindicator shall march before you,
The Presence of the LORD shall be your rear guard. (9) Then, when you call, the LORD will answer;
When you cry, He will say: Here I am.
If you banish the yoke from your midst,
The menacing hand,-b and evil speech, (10) And you offer your compassion to the hungry
And satisfy the famished creature—
Then shall your light shine in darkness,
And your gloom shall be like noonday. (11) The LORD will guide you always;
He will slake your thirst in parched places-d
And give strength to your bones.
You shall be like a watered garden,
Like a spring whose waters do not fail. (12) Men from your midst shall rebuild ancient ruins,
You shall restore foundations laid long ago.
And you shall be called
“Repairer of fallen walls,
Restorer of lanes for habitation.” (13) If you refrain from trampling-e the sabbath,
From pursuing your affairs on My holy day;
If you call the sabbath “delight,”
The LORD’s holy day “honored”;
And if you honor it and go not your ways
Nor look to your affairs, nor strike bargains— (14) Then you can seek the favor of the LORD.-f
I will set you astride the heights of the earth,
And let you enjoy the heritage of your father Jacob—
For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.
Raise your voice like a ram’s horn!
Declare to My people their transgression,
To the House of Jacob their sin.

(10) I brought them out of the land of Egypt and I led them into the wilderness. (11) I gave them My laws and taught them My rules, by the pursuit of which a man shall live. (12) Moreover, I gave them My sabbaths to serve as a sign between Me and them, that they might know that it is I the LORD who sanctify them. (13) But the House of Israel rebelled against Me in the wilderness; they did not follow My laws and they rejected My rules—by the pursuit of which a man shall live—and they grossly desecrated My sabbaths. Then I thought to pour out My fury upon them in the wilderness and to make an end of them; (14) but I acted for the sake of My name, that it might not be profaned in the sight of the nations before whose eyes I had led them out.

(1) In the seventh year, on the tenth day of the fifth month, certain elders of Israel came to inquire of the LORD, and sat down before me. (2) And the word of the LORD came to me: (3) O mortal, speak to the elders of Israel and say to them: Thus said the Lord GOD: Have you come to inquire of Me? As I live, I will not respond to your inquiry—declares the Lord GOD. (4) Arraign, arraign them, O mortal!-a Declare to them the abhorrent deeds of their fathers. (5) Say to them: Thus said the Lord GOD:
On the day that I chose Israel, I gave My oath-b to the stock of the House of Jacob; when I made Myself known to them in the land of Egypt, I gave my oath to them. When I said, “I the LORD am your God,” (6) that same day I swore to them to take them out of the land of Egypt into a land flowing with milk and honey, a land which I had sought out for them, the fairest of all lands. (7) I also said to them: Cast away, every one of you, the detestable things that you are drawn to,-c and do not defile yourselves with the fetishes of Egypt—I the LORD am your God. (8) But they defied Me and refused to listen to Me. They did not cast away the detestable things they were drawn to, nor did they give up the fetishes of Egypt. Then I resolved to pour out My fury upon them, to vent all My anger upon them there, in the land of Egypt. (9) But I acted for the sake of My name, that it might not be profaned in the sight of the nations among whom they were. For it was before their eyes that I had made Myself known to Israel to bring them out of the land of Egypt. (10) I brought them out of the land of Egypt and I led them into the wilderness. (11) I gave them My laws and taught them My rules, by the pursuit of which a man shall live. (12) Moreover, I gave them My sabbaths to serve as a sign between Me and them, that they might know that it is I the LORD who sanctify them. (13) But the House of Israel rebelled against Me in the wilderness; they did not follow My laws and they rejected My rules—by the pursuit of which a man shall live—and they grossly desecrated My sabbaths. Then I thought to pour out My fury upon them in the wilderness and to make an end of them; (14) but I acted for the sake of My name, that it might not be profaned in the sight of the nations before whose eyes I had led them out. (15) However, I swore to them in the wilderness that I would not bring them into the land flowing with milk and honey, the fairest of all lands, which I had assigned [to them], (16) for they had rejected My rules, disobeyed My laws, and desecrated My sabbaths; their hearts followed after their fetishes. (17) But I had pity on them and did not destroy them; I did not make an end of them in the wilderness. (18) I warned their children in the wilderness: Do not follow the practices of your fathers, do not keep their ways, and do not defile yourselves with their fetishes. (19) I the LORD am your God: Follow My laws and be careful to observe My rules. (20) And hallow My sabbaths, that they may be a sign between Me and you, that you may know that I the LORD am your God. (21) But the children rebelled against Me: they did not follow My laws and did not faithfully observe My rules, by the pursuit of which man shall live; they profaned My sabbaths. Then I resolved to pour out My fury upon them, to vent all My anger upon them, in the wilderness. (22) But I held back My hand and acted for the sake of My name, that it might not be profaned in the sight of the nations before whose eyes I had led them out. (23) However, I swore to them in the wilderness that I would scatter them among the nations and disperse them through the lands, (24) because they did not obey My rules, but rejected My laws, profaned My sabbaths, and looked with longing to the fetishes of their fathers. (25) Moreover, I gave them laws that were not good and rules by which they could not live: (26) When they set aside every first issue of the womb, I defiled them by their very gifts—that I might render them desolate, that they might know that I am the LORD. (27) Now, O mortal, speak to the House of Israel and say to them: Thus said the Lord GOD: By this too your fathers affronted Me and committed trespass against Me: (28) When I brought them to the land that I had sworn to give them, and they saw any high hill or any leafy tree, they slaughtered their sacrifices there and presented their offensive offerings there; there they produced their pleasing odors and poured out their libations. (29) Then I said to them, “What is this shrine which you visit?” (Therefore such [a shrine] is called bamah to this day.) (30) Now say to the House of Israel: Thus said the Lord GOD: If you defile yourselves as your fathers did and go astray after their detestable things, (31) and if to this very day you defile yourselves in the presentation of your gifts by making your children pass through the fire to all your fetishes, shall I respond to your inquiry, O House of Israel? As I live—declares the Lord GOD—I will not respond to you. (32) And what you have in mind shall never come to pass—when you say, “We will be like the nations, like the families of the lands, worshiping wood and stone.” (33) As I live—declares the Lord GOD—I will reign over you with a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with overflowing fury. (34) With a strong hand and an outstretched arm and overflowing fury I will bring you out from the peoples and gather you from the lands where you are scattered, (35) and I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples; and there I will enter into judgment with you face to face. (36) As I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I enter into judgment with you—declares the Lord GOD. (37) I will make you pass under the shepherd’s staff, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant. (38) I will remove from you those who rebel and transgress against Me; I will take them out of the countries where they sojourn, but they shall not enter the land of Israel. Then you shall know that I am the LORD. (39) As for you, O House of Israel, thus said the Lord GOD: Go, every one of you, and worship his fetishes and continue, if you will not obey Me; but do not profane My holy name any more with your idolatrous gifts. (40) For only on My holy mountain, on the lofty mount of Israel—declares the Lord GOD—there, in the land, the entire House of Israel, all of it, must worship Me. There I will accept them, and there I will take note of your contributions and the choicest offerings of all your sacred things. (41) When I bring you out from the peoples and gather you from the lands in which you are scattered, I will accept you as a pleasing odor; and I will be sanctified through you in the sight of the nations. (42) Then, when I have brought you to the land of Israel, to the country that I swore to give to your fathers, you shall know that I am the LORD. (43) There you will recall your ways and all the acts by which you defiled yourselves; and you will loathe yourselves for all the evils that you committed. (44) Then, O House of Israel, you shall know that I am the LORD, when I deal with you for My name’s sake—not in accordance with your evil ways and corrupt acts—declares the Lord GOD.

(1) The word of the LORD came to me: (2) Further, O mortal, arraign, arraign-a the city of bloodshed; declare to her all her abhorrent deeds! (3) Say: Thus said the Lord GOD: O city in whose midst blood is shed, so that your hour is approaching; within which fetishes are made, so that you have become unclean! (4) You stand guilty of the blood you have shed, defiled by the fetishes you have made. You have brought on your day; you have reached your year.-b Therefore I will make you the mockery of the nations and the scorn of all the lands. (5) Both the near and the far shall scorn you, O besmirched of name, O laden with iniquity! (6) Every one of the princes of Israel in your midst used his strength for the shedding of blood. (7) Fathers and mothers have been humiliated within you; strangers have been cheated in your midst; orphans and widows have been wronged within you. (8) You have despised My holy things and profaned My sabbaths. (9) Base men in your midst were intent on shedding blood; in you they have eaten upon the mountains;-d and they have practiced depravity in your midst. (10) In you they have uncovered their fathers’ nakedness; in you they have ravished women during their impurity. (11) They have committed abhorrent acts with other men’s wives; in their depravity they have defiled their own daughters-in-law; in you they have ravished their own sisters, daughters of their fathers. (12) They have taken bribes within you to shed blood. You have taken advance and accrued interest; you have defrauded your countrymen to your profit. You have forgotten Me—declares the Lord GOD. (13) Lo, I will strike My hands over the ill-gotten gains that you have amassed, and over the bloodshed that has been committed in your midst. (14) Will your courage endure, will your hands remain firm in the days when I deal with you? I the LORD have spoken and I will act. (15) I will scatter you among the nations and disperse you through the lands; I will consume the uncleanness out of you. (16) You shall be dishonored in the sight of nations, and you shall know that I am the LORD.
(17) The word of the LORD came to me: (18) O mortal, the House of Israel has become dross to Me; they are all copper, tin, iron, and lead. But in a crucible, the dross shall turn into silver.-c (19) Assuredly, thus said the Lord GOD: Because you have all become dross, I will gather you into Jerusalem. (20) As silver, copper, iron, lead, and tin are gathered into a crucible to blow the fire upon them, so as to melt them, so will I gather you in My fierce anger and cast you [into the fire] and melt you. (21) I will gather you and I will blow upon you the fire of My fury, and you shall be melted in it. (22) As silver is melted in a crucible, so shall you be melted in it. And you shall know that I the LORD have poured out My fury upon you.
(23) The word of the LORD came to me: (24) O mortal, say to her: You are an uncleansed land, not to be washed with rain-c on the day of indignation. (25) Her gang of prophets-g are like roaring lions in her midst, rending prey. They devour human beings; they seize treasure and wealth; they have widowed many women in her midst. (26) Her priests have violated My Teaching: they have profaned what is sacred to Me, they have not distinguished between the sacred and the profane, they have not taught the difference between the unclean and the clean, and they have closed their eyes to My sabbaths. I am profaned in their midst. (27) Her officials are like wolves rending prey in her midst; they shed blood and destroy lives to win ill-gotten gain. (28) Her prophets, too, daub the wall for them with plaster: They prophesy falsely and divine deceitfully for them; they say, “Thus said the Lord GOD,” when the LORD has not spoken. (29) And the people of the land have practiced fraud and committed robbery; they have wronged the poor and needy, have defrauded the stranger without redress. (30) And I sought a man among them to repair the wall or to stand in the breach before Me in behalf of this land, that I might not destroy it; but I found none. (31) I have therefore poured out My indignation upon them; I will consume them with the fire of My fury. I will repay them for their conduct—declares the Lord GOD. (1) The word of the LORD came to me: (2) O mortal, once there were two women, daughters of one mother. (3) They played the whore in Egypt; they played the whore while still young. There their breasts were squeezed, and there their virgin nipples were handled. (4) Their names were: the elder one, Oholah; and her sister, Oholibah. They became Mine, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their names, Oholah is Samaria, and Oholibah is Jerusalem. (5) Oholah whored while she was Mine, and she lusted after her lovers, after the Assyrians, warriors (6) clothed in blue, governors and prefects, horsemen mounted on steeds—all of them handsome young fellows. (7) She bestowed her favors upon them—upon all the pick of the Assyrians—and defiled herself with all their fetishes after which she lusted. (8) She did not give up the whoring she had begun with the Egyptians; for they had lain with her in her youth, and they had handled her virgin nipples and had poured out their lust upon her. (9) Therefore I delivered her into the hands of her lovers, into the hands of the Assyrians after whom she lusted. (10) They exposed her nakedness; they seized her sons and daughters, and she herself was put to the sword. And because of the punishment inflicted upon her, she became a byword among women. (11) Her sister Oholibah saw this; yet her lusting was more depraved than her sister’s, and her whoring more debased. (12) She lusted after the Assyrians, governors and prefects, warriors gorgeously clad, horsemen mounted on steeds—all of them handsome young fellows. (13) And I saw how she had defiled herself. Both of them followed the same course, (14) but she carried her harlotries further. For she saw men sculptured upon the walls, figures of Chaldeans drawn in vermilion, (15) girded with belts round their waists, and with flowing turbans on their heads, all of them looking like officers—a picture of Babylonians whose native land was Chaldea. (16) At the very sight of them she lusted after them, and she sent messengers for them to Chaldea. (17) So the Babylonians came to her for lovemaking and defiled her with their whoring; and she defiled herself with them until she turned from them in disgust. (18) She flaunted her harlotries and exposed her nakedness, and I turned from her in disgust, as I had turned disgusted from her sister. (19) But she whored still more, remembering how in her youth she had played the whore in the land of Egypt; (20) she lusted for concubinage with them, whose members were like those of asses and whose organs were like those of stallions. (21) Thus you reverted to the wantonness of your youth, remembering your youthful breasts, when the men of Egypt handled your nipples. (22) Assuredly, Oholibah, thus said the Lord GOD: I am going to rouse against you the lovers from whom you turned in disgust, and I will bring them upon you from all around— (23) the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, [the people of] Pekod, Shoa, and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them, all of them handsome young fellows, governors and prefects, officers and warriors, all of them riding on horseback. (24) They shall attack you with fleets of wheeled chariots and a host of troops; they shall set themselves against you on all sides with bucklers, shields, and helmets. And I will entrust your punishment to them, and they shall inflict their punishments on you. (25) I will direct My passion against you, and they shall deal with you in fury: they shall cut off your nose and ears. The last of you shall fall by the sword; they shall take away your sons and daughters, and your remnant shall be devoured by fire. (26) They shall strip you of your clothing and take away your dazzling jewels. (27) I will put an end to your wantonness and to your whoring in the land of Egypt, and you shall not long for them or remember Egypt any more. (28) For thus said the Lord GOD: I am going to deliver you into the hands of those you hate, into the hands of those from whom you turned in disgust. (29) They shall treat you with hate, and they shall take away all you have toiled for, and leave you naked and bare; your naked whoredom, wantonness, and harlotry will be exposed. (30) These things shall be done to you for your harlotries with the nations, for defiling yourself with their fetishes. (31) You walked in your sister’s path; therefore I will put her cup into your hand. (32) Thus said the Lord GOD:
You shall drink of your sister’s cup,
So deep and wide;
It shall cause derision and scorn,
It holds so much. (33) You shall be filled with drunkenness and woe.
The cup of desolation and horror,
The cup of your sister Samaria— (34) You shall drink it and drain it,
And gnaw its shards;-c
And you shall tear your breasts.
For I have spoken—declares the Lord GOD. (35) Assuredly, thus said the Lord GOD: Because you have forgotten Me and cast Me behind your back, you in turn must suffer for your wanton whoring. (36) Then the LORD said to me: O mortal, arraign Oholah and Oholibah, and charge them with their abominations. (37) For they have committed adultery, and blood is on their hands; truly they have committed adultery with their fetishes, and have even offered to them as food the children they bore to Me. (38) At the same time they also did this to Me: they defiled My Sanctuary and profaned My sabbaths. (39) On the very day that they slaughtered their children to their fetishes, they entered My Sanctuary to desecrate it. That is what they did in My House. (40) Moreover, they sent for men to come from afar, [men] to whom a messenger was sent; and they came. For them, [Oholibah,] you bathed, painted your eyes, and donned your finery; (41) and you sat on a grand couch with a set table in front of it—and it was My incense and My oil you laid upon it. (42) And the noise of a carefree multitude was there, of numerous men brought drunk from the desert;-c and they put bracelets on their arms and splendid crowns upon their heads. (43) Then I said, “To destruction with adultery! Look, they are still going on with those same fornications of hers.”-c (44) And they would go to her as one goes to a prostitute; that is how they went to Oholah and Oholibah, wanton women. (45) But righteous men shall punish them with the punishments for adultery and for bloodshed, for they are adulteresses and have blood on their hands. (46) For thus said the Lord GOD: Summon an assembly against them, and make them an object of horror and plunder. (47) Let the assembly pelt them with stones and cut them down with their swords; let them kill their sons and daughters, and burn down their homes. (48) I will put an end to wantonness in the land; and all the women shall take warning not to imitate your wantonness. (49) They shall punish you for your wantonness, and you shall suffer the penalty for your sinful idolatry. And you shall know that I am the Lord GOD.
(17) The word of the LORD came to me: (18) O mortal, the House of Israel has become dross to Me; they are all copper, tin, iron, and lead. But in a crucible, the dross shall turn into silver.-c (19) Assuredly, thus said the Lord GOD: Because you have all become dross, I will gather you into Jerusalem. (20) As silver, copper, iron, lead, and tin are gathered into a crucible to blow the fire upon them, so as to melt them, so will I gather you in My fierce anger and cast you [into the fire] and melt you. (21) I will gather you and I will blow upon you the fire of My fury, and you shall be melted in it. (22) As silver is melted in a crucible, so shall you be melted in it. And you shall know that I the LORD have poured out My fury upon you.
(23) The word of the LORD came to me: (24) O mortal, say to her: You are an uncleansed land, not to be washed with rain-c on the day of indignation. (25) Her gang of prophets-g are like roaring lions in her midst, rending prey. They devour human beings; they seize treasure and wealth; they have widowed many women in her midst. (26) Her priests have violated My Teaching: they have profaned what is sacred to Me, they have not distinguished between the sacred and the profane, they have not taught the difference between the unclean and the clean, and they have closed their eyes to My sabbaths. I am profaned in their midst. (27) Her officials are like wolves rending prey in her midst; they shed blood and destroy lives to win ill-gotten gain. (28) Her prophets, too, daub the wall for them with plaster: They prophesy falsely and divine deceitfully for them; they say, “Thus said the Lord GOD,” when the LORD has not spoken. (29) And the people of the land have practiced fraud and committed robbery; they have wronged the poor and needy, have defrauded the stranger without redress. (30) And I sought a man among them to repair the wall or to stand in the breach before Me in behalf of this land, that I might not destroy it; but I found none. (31) I have therefore poured out My indignation upon them; I will consume them with the fire of My fury. I will repay them for their conduct—declares the Lord GOD. (1) The word of the LORD came to me: (2) O mortal, once there were two women, daughters of one mother. (3) They played the whore in Egypt; they played the whore while still young. There their breasts were squeezed, and there their virgin nipples were handled. (4) Their names were: the elder one, Oholah; and her sister, Oholibah. They became Mine, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their names, Oholah is Samaria, and Oholibah is Jerusalem. (5) Oholah whored while she was Mine, and she lusted after her lovers, after the Assyrians, warriors (6) clothed in blue, governors and prefects, horsemen mounted on steeds—all of them handsome young fellows. (7) She bestowed her favors upon them—upon all the pick of the Assyrians—and defiled herself with all their fetishes after which she lusted. (8) She did not give up the whoring she had begun with the Egyptians; for they had lain with her in her youth, and they had handled her virgin nipples and had poured out their lust upon her. (9) Therefore I delivered her into the hands of her lovers, into the hands of the Assyrians after whom she lusted. (10) They exposed her nakedness; they seized her sons and daughters, and she herself was put to the sword. And because of the punishment inflicted upon her, she became a byword among women. (11) Her sister Oholibah saw this; yet her lusting was more depraved than her sister’s, and her whoring more debased. (12) She lusted after the Assyrians, governors and prefects, warriors gorgeously clad, horsemen mounted on steeds—all of them handsome young fellows. (13) And I saw how she had defiled herself. Both of them followed the same course, (14) but she carried her harlotries further. For she saw men sculptured upon the walls, figures of Chaldeans drawn in vermilion, (15) girded with belts round their waists, and with flowing turbans on their heads, all of them looking like officers—a picture of Babylonians whose native land was Chaldea. (16) At the very sight of them she lusted after them, and she sent messengers for them to Chaldea. (17) So the Babylonians came to her for lovemaking and defiled her with their whoring; and she defiled herself with them until she turned from them in disgust. (18) She flaunted her harlotries and exposed her nakedness, and I turned from her in disgust, as I had turned disgusted from her sister. (19) But she whored still more, remembering how in her youth she had played the whore in the land of Egypt; (20) she lusted for concubinage with them, whose members were like those of asses and whose organs were like those of stallions. (21) Thus you reverted to the wantonness of your youth, remembering your youthful breasts, when the men of Egypt handled your nipples. (22) Assuredly, Oholibah, thus said the Lord GOD: I am going to rouse against you the lovers from whom you turned in disgust, and I will bring them upon you from all around— (23) the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, [the people of] Pekod, Shoa, and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them, all of them handsome young fellows, governors and prefects, officers and warriors, all of them riding on horseback. (24) They shall attack you with fleets of wheeled chariots and a host of troops; they shall set themselves against you on all sides with bucklers, shields, and helmets. And I will entrust your punishment to them, and they shall inflict their punishments on you. (25) I will direct My passion against you, and they shall deal with you in fury: they shall cut off your nose and ears. The last of you shall fall by the sword; they shall take away your sons and daughters, and your remnant shall be devoured by fire. (26) They shall strip you of your clothing and take away your dazzling jewels. (27) I will put an end to your wantonness and to your whoring in the land of Egypt, and you shall not long for them or remember Egypt any more. (28) For thus said the Lord GOD: I am going to deliver you into the hands of those you hate, into the hands of those from whom you turned in disgust. (29) They shall treat you with hate, and they shall take away all you have toiled for, and leave you naked and bare; your naked whoredom, wantonness, and harlotry will be exposed. (30) These things shall be done to you for your harlotries with the nations, for defiling yourself with their fetishes. (31) You walked in your sister’s path; therefore I will put her cup into your hand. (32) Thus said the Lord GOD:
You shall drink of your sister’s cup,
So deep and wide;
It shall cause derision and scorn,
It holds so much. (33) You shall be filled with drunkenness and woe.
The cup of desolation and horror,
The cup of your sister Samaria— (34) You shall drink it and drain it,
And gnaw its shards;-c
And you shall tear your breasts.
For I have spoken—declares the Lord GOD. (35) Assuredly, thus said the Lord GOD: Because you have forgotten Me and cast Me behind your back, you in turn must suffer for your wanton whoring. (36) Then the LORD said to me: O mortal, arraign Oholah and Oholibah, and charge them with their abominations. (37) For they have committed adultery, and blood is on their hands; truly they have committed adultery with their fetishes, and have even offered to them as food the children they bore to Me. (38) At the same time they also did this to Me: they defiled My Sanctuary and profaned My sabbaths. (39) On the very day that they slaughtered their children to their fetishes, they entered My Sanctuary to desecrate it. That is what they did in My House. (40) Moreover, they sent for men to come from afar, [men] to whom a messenger was sent; and they came. For them, [Oholibah,] you bathed, painted your eyes, and donned your finery; (41) and you sat on a grand couch with a set table in front of it—and it was My incense and My oil you laid upon it. (42) And the noise of a carefree multitude was there, of numerous men brought drunk from the desert;-c and they put bracelets on their arms and splendid crowns upon their heads. (43) Then I said, “To destruction with adultery! Look, they are still going on with those same fornications of hers.”-c (44) And they would go to her as one goes to a prostitute; that is how they went to Oholah and Oholibah, wanton women. (45) But righteous men shall punish them with the punishments for adultery and for bloodshed, for they are adulteresses and have blood on their hands. (46) For thus said the Lord GOD: Summon an assembly against them, and make them an object of horror and plunder. (47) Let the assembly pelt them with stones and cut them down with their swords; let them kill their sons and daughters, and burn down their homes. (48) I will put an end to wantonness in the land; and all the women shall take warning not to imitate your wantonness. (49) They shall punish you for your wantonness, and you shall suffer the penalty for your sinful idolatry. And you shall know that I am the Lord GOD.

(1) Then he led me back to the outer gate of the Sanctuary that faced eastward; it was shut. (2) And the LORD said to me: This gate is to be kept shut and is not to be opened! No one shall enter by it because the LORD, the God of Israel, has entered by it; therefore it shall remain shut. (3) Only the prince may sit in it and eat bread before the LORD, since he is a prince; he shall enter by way of the vestibule of the gate,-a and shall depart by the same way. (4) Then he led me, by way of the north gate, to the front of the Temple. I looked, and lo! the Presence of the LORD filled the Temple of the LORD; and I fell upon my face. (5) Then the LORD said to me: O mortal, mark well, look closely and listen carefully to everything that I tell you regarding all the laws of the Temple of the LORD and all the instructions regarding it. Note well who may enter the Temple and all who must be excluded from the Sanctuary. (6) And say to the rebellious House of Israel: Thus said the Lord GOD: Too long, O House of Israel, have you committed all your abominations, (7) admitting aliens, uncircumcised of spirit and uncircumcised of flesh, to be in My Sanctuary and profane My very Temple, when you offer up My food—the fat and the blood. You have broken My covenant with all your abominations. (8) You have not discharged the duties concerning My sacred offerings, but have appointed them to discharge the duties of My Sanctuary for you. (9) Thus said the Lord GOD: Let no alien, uncircumcised in spirit and flesh, enter My Sanctuary—no alien whatsoever among the people of Israel. (10) But the Levites who forsook Me when Israel went astray—straying from Me to follow their fetishes—shall suffer their punishment: (11) They shall be servitors in My Sanctuary, appointed over the Temple gates, and performing the chores of My Temple; they shall slaughter the burnt offerings and the sacrifices for the people. They shall attend on them and serve them. (12) Because they served the House of Israel in the presence of their fetishes and made them stumble into guilt, therefore—declares the Lord GOD—I have sworn concerning them that they shall suffer their punishment: (13) They shall not approach Me to serve Me as priests, to come near any of My sacred offerings, the most holy things. They shall bear their shame for the abominations that they committed. (14) I will make them watchmen of the Temple, to perform all its chores, everything that needs to be done in it. (15) But the levitical priests descended from Zadok,-c who maintained the service of My Sanctuary when the people of Israel went astray from Me—they shall approach Me to minister to Me; they shall stand before Me to offer Me fat and blood—declares the Lord GOD. (16) They alone may enter My Sanctuary and they alone shall approach My table to minister to Me; and they shall keep My charge. (17) And when they enter the gates of the inner court, they shall wear linen vestments: they shall have nothing woolen upon them when they minister inside the gates of the inner court. (18) They shall have linen turbans on their heads and linen breeches on their loins; they shall not gird themselves with anything that causes sweat. (19) When they go out to the outer court—the outer court where the people are—they shall remove the vestments in which they minister and shall deposit them in the sacred chambers; they shall put on other garments, lest they make the people consecrated by [contact with] their vestments. (20) They shall neither shave their heads nor let their hair go untrimmed; they shall keep their hair trimmed. (21) No priest shall drink wine when he enters into the inner court. (22) They shall not marry widows or divorced women; they may marry only virgins of the stock of the House of Israel, or widows who are widows of priests. (23) They shall declare to My people what is sacred and what is profane, and inform them what is clean and what is unclean. (24) In lawsuits, too, it is they who shall act as judges; they shall decide them in accordance with My rules. They shall preserve My teachings and My laws regarding all My fixed occasions; and they shall maintain the sanctity of My sabbaths. (25) [A priest] shall not defile himself by entering [a house] where there is a dead person. He shall defile himself only for father or mother, son or daughter, brother or unmarried sister. (26) After he has become clean, seven days shall be counted off for him; (27) and on the day that he reenters the inner court of the Sanctuary to minister in the Sanctuary, he shall present his sin offering—declares the Lord GOD. (28) This shall be their portion, for I am their portion; and no holding shall be given them in Israel, for I am their holding. (29) The meal offerings, sin offerings, and guilt offerings shall be consumed by them. Everything proscribed in Israel shall be theirs. (30) All the choice first fruits of every kind, and all the gifts of every kind—of all your contributions—shall go to the priests. You shall further give the first of the yield of your baking to the priest, that a blessing may rest upon your home.

(1) When you allot the land as an inheritance, you shall set aside from the land, as a gift sacred to the LORD, an area 25,000 [cubits] long and 10,000 wide: this shall be holy through its entire extent. (2) Of this, a square measuring a full 500 by 500 shall be reserved for the Sanctuary, and 50 cubits for an open space all around it. (3) Of the aforesaid area, you shall measure off, as most holy and destined to include the Sanctuary, [a space] 25,000 long by 10,000 wide; (4) it is a sacred portion of the land; it shall provide space for houses for the priests, the ministrants of the Sanctuary who are qualified to minister to the LORD, as well as holy ground for the Sanctuary. (5) Another [space], 25,000 long by 10,000 wide, shall be the property of the Levites, the servants of the Temple—twenty chambers.-d (6) Alongside the sacred reserve, you shall set aside [a space] 25,000 long by 5,000 wide, as the property of the city; it shall belong to the whole House of Israel. (7) And to the prince shall belong, on both sides of the sacred reserve and the property of the city and alongside the sacred reserve and the property of the city, on the west extending westward and on the east extending eastward, a portion corresponding to one of the [tribal] portions that extend from the western border to the eastern border (8) of the land. That shall be his property in Israel; and My princes shall no more defraud My people, but shall leave the rest of the land to the several tribes of the House of Israel. (9) Thus said the Lord GOD: Enough, princes of Israel! Make an end of lawlessness and rapine, and do what is right and just! Put a stop to your evictions of My people—declares the Lord GOD. (10) Have honest balances, an honest ephah, and an honest bath. (11) The ephah and the bath shall comprise the same volume, the bath a tenth of a ḥomer and the ephah a tenth of a ḥomer; their capacity shall be gauged by the ḥomer. (12) And the shekel shall weigh 20 gerahs. 20 shekels, 25 shekels [and] 10 plus 5 shekels shall count with you as a mina.-g (13) This is the contribution you shall make: One-sixth of an ephah from every ḥomer of wheat and one-sixth of an ephah from every ḥomer of barley, (14) while the due from the oil—the oil being measured by the bath-h—shall be one-tenth of a bath from every kor.—As 10 baths make a ḥomer, so 10 baths make a ḥomer.— (15) And [the due] from the flock shall be one animal from every 200. [All these shall be contributed] from Israel’s products for meal offerings, burnt offerings, and offerings of well-being, to make expiation for them—declares the Lord GOD. (16) In this contribution, the entire population must join with the prince in Israel. (17) But the burnt offerings, the meal offerings, and the libations on festivals, new moons, sabbaths—all fixed occasions—of the House of Israel shall be the obligation of the prince; he shall provide the sin offerings, the meal offerings, the burnt offerings, and the offerings of well-being, to make expiation for the House of Israel.

(1) Thus said the Lord GOD: The gate of the inner court which faces east shall be closed on the six working days; it shall be opened on the sabbath day and it shall be opened on the day of the new moon. (2) The prince shall enter by way of the vestibule outside the gate, and shall attend at the gatepost while the priests sacrifice his burnt offering and his offering of well-being; he shall then bow low at the threshold of the gate and depart. The gate, however, shall not be closed until evening. (3) The common people shall worship before the LORD on sabbaths and new moons at the entrance of the same gate. (4) The burnt offering which the prince presents to the LORD on the sabbath day shall consist of six lambs without blemish and one ram without blemish— (5) with a meal offering of an ephah for the ram, a meal offering of as much as he wishes for the lambs, and a hin of oil with every ephah. (6) And on the day of the new moon, it shall consist of a bull of the herd without blemish, and six lambs and a ram—they shall be without blemish. (7) And he shall provide a meal offering of an ephah for the bull, an ephah for the ram, and as much as he can afford for the lambs, with a hin of oil to every ephah. (8) When the prince enters, he shall come in by way of the vestibule of the gate, and he shall go out the same way. (9) But on the fixed occasions, when the common people come before the LORD, whoever enters by the north gate to bow low shall leave by the south gate; and whoever enters by the south gate shall leave by the north gate. They shall not go back through the gate by which they came in, but shall go out by the opposite one.-b (10) And as for the prince, he shall enter with them when they enter and leave when they leave. (11) On festivals and fixed occasions, the meal offering shall be an ephah for each bull, an ephah for each ram, and as much as he wishes for the lambs, with a hin of oil for every ephah. (12) The gate that faces east shall also be opened for the prince whenever he offers a freewill offering—be it burnt offering or offering of well-being—freely offered to the LORD, so that he may offer his burnt offering or his offering of well-being just as he does on the sabbath day. Then he shall leave, and the gate shall be closed after he leaves.

(1) The number of the people of Israel shall be like that of the sands of the sea, which cannot be measured or counted; and instead of being told, “You are Not-My-People,” they shall be called Children-of-the-Living-God. (2) The people of Judah and the people of Israel shall assemble together and appoint one head over them; and they shall rise from the ground—for marvelous shall be the day of Jezreel!-d (3) Oh, call your brothers “My People,”
And your sisters “Lovingly Accepted!”
(4) Rebuke your mother, rebuke her—
For she is not My wife
And I am not her husband—
And let her put away her harlotry from her face
And her adultery from between her breasts. (5) Else will I strip her naked
And leave her as on the day she was born:
And I will make her like a wilderness,
Render her like desert land,
And let her die of thirst. (6) I will also disown her children;
For they are now a harlot’s brood, (7) In that their mother has played the harlot,
She that conceived them has acted shamelessly—
Because she thought,
“I will go after my lovers,
Who supply my bread and my water,
My wool and my linen,
My oil and my drink.”
(8) Assuredly,
I will hedge up her roads with thorns
And raise walls against her,
And she shall not find her paths. (9) Pursue her lovers as she will,
She shall not overtake them;
And seek them as she may,
She shall never find them.
Then she will say,
“I will go and return
To my first husband,
For then I fared better than now.” (10) And she did not consider this:
It was I who bestowed on her
The new grain and wine and oil;
I who lavished silver on her
And gold—which they used for Baal. (11) Assuredly,
I will take back My new grain in its time
And My new wine in its season,
And I will snatch away My wool and My linen
That serve to cover her nakedness. (12) Now will I uncover her shame
In the very sight of her lovers,
And none shall save her from Me. (13) And I will end all her rejoicing:
Her festivals, new moons, and sabbaths—
All her festive seasons. (14) I will lay waste her vines and her fig trees,
Which she thinks are a fee
She received from her lovers;
I will turn them into brushwood,
And beasts of the field shall devour them. (15) Thus will I punish her
For the days of the Baalim,
On which she brought them offerings;
When, decked with earrings and jewels,
She would go after her lovers,
Forgetting Me
—declares the LORD.
(16) Assuredly,
I will speak coaxingly to her
And lead her through the wilderness
And speak to her tenderly. (17) I will give her her vineyards from there,
And the Valley of Achor as a plowland of hope.-i
There she shall respond as in the days of her youth,
When she came up from the land of Egypt. (18) And in that day
—declares the LORD—
You will call [Me] Ishi,
And no more will you call Me Baali. (19) For I will remove the names of the Baalim from her mouth,
And they shall nevermore be mentioned by name.
(20) In that day, I will make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, and the creeping things of the ground; I will also banish bow, sword, and war from the land. Thus I will let them lie down in safety.
(21) And I will espouse you forever:
I will espouse you with righteousness and justice,
And with goodness and mercy, (22) And I will espouse you with faithfulness;-l
Then you shall be devoted to the LORD. (23) In that day,
I will respond
—declares the LORD—
I will respond to the sky,
And it shall respond to the earth; (24) And the earth shall respond
With new grain and wine and oil,
And they shall respond to Jezreel. (25) I will sow her in the land as My own;
And take Lo-ruhamah back in favor;
And I will say to Lo-ammi, “You are My people,”
And he will respond, “[You are] my God.”
And your sisters “Lovingly Accepted!”
(4) Rebuke your mother, rebuke her—
For she is not My wife
And I am not her husband—
And let her put away her harlotry from her face
And her adultery from between her breasts. (5) Else will I strip her naked

(1) This is what my Lord GOD showed me: There was a basket of figs. (2) He said, “What do you see, Amos?” “A basket of figs,” I replied. And the LORD said to me: “The hour of doom-b has come for My people Israel; I will not pardon them again. (3) And the singing women of the palace shall howl on that day—declares my Lord GOD:
So many corpses
Left lying everywhere!
Hush!”
(4) Listen to this, you who devour the needy, annihilating the poor of the land,-c (5) saying, “If only the new moon were over, so that we could sell grain; the sabbath, so that we could offer wheat for sale, using an ephah that is too small, and a shekel that is too big,-d tilting a dishonest scale, (6) and selling grain refuse as grain! We will buy the poor for silver, the needy for a pair of sandals.” (7) The LORD swears by the Pride of Jacob: “I will never forget any of their doings.” (8) Shall not the earth shake for this
And all that dwell on it mourn?
Shall it not all rise like the Nile
And surge and subside like the Nile of Egypt? (9) And in that day
—declares my Lord GOD—
I will make the sun set at noon,
I will darken the earth on a sunny day. (10) I will turn your festivals into mourning
And all your songs into dirges;
I will put sackcloth on all loins
And tonsures on every head.
I will make it mourn as for an only child,
All of it as on a bitter day.
(11) A time is coming—declares my Lord GOD—when I will send a famine upon the land: not a hunger for bread or a thirst for water, but for hearing the words of the LORD. (12) Men shall wander from sea to sea-h and from north to east to seek the word of the LORD, but they shall not find it.
(13) In that day, the beautiful maidens and the young men shall faint with thirst— (14) Those who swear by the guilt of Samaria,
Saying, “As your god lives, Dan,”
And “As the way to Beer-sheba lives”—
They shall fall to rise no more.
So many corpses
Left lying everywhere!
Hush!”
(4) Listen to this, you who devour the needy, annihilating the poor of the land,-c (5) saying, “If only the new moon were over, so that we could sell grain; the sabbath, so that we could offer wheat for sale, using an ephah that is too small, and a shekel that is too big,-d tilting a dishonest scale, (6) and selling grain refuse as grain!

(11) A time is coming—declares my Lord GOD—when I will send a famine upon the land: not a hunger for bread or a thirst for water, but for hearing the words of the LORD. (12) Men shall wander from sea to sea-h and from north to east to seek the word of the LORD, but they shall not find it.
(13) In that day, the beautiful maidens and the young men shall faint with thirst— (14) Those who swear by the guilt of Samaria,
Saying, “As your god lives, Dan,”
And “As the way to Beer-sheba lives”—
They shall fall to rise no more.

(1) A psalm. A song; for the sabbath day.
(2) It is good to praise the LORD,
to sing hymns to Your name, O Most High, (3) To proclaim Your steadfast love at daybreak,
Your faithfulness each night (4) With a ten-stringed harp,
with voice and lyre together.
(5) You have gladdened me by Your deeds, O LORD;
I shout for joy at Your handiwork. (6) How great are Your works, O LORD,
how very subtle Your designs! (7) A brutish man cannot know,
a fool cannot understand this: (8) though the wicked sprout like grass,
though all evildoers blossom,
it is only that they may be destroyed forever.
(9) But You are exalted, O LORD, for all time.
(10) Surely, Your enemies, O LORD,
surely, Your enemies perish;
all evildoers are scattered. (11) You raise my horn high like that of a wild ox;
I am soaked in freshening oil. (12) I shall see the defeat of my watchful foes,
hear of the downfall of the wicked who beset me. (13) The righteous bloom like a date-palm;
they thrive like a cedar in Lebanon; (14) planted in the house of the LORD,
they flourish in the courts of our God. (15) In old age they still produce fruit;
they are full of sap and freshness, (16) attesting that the LORD is upright,
my rock, in whom there is no wrong.
