EZEKIEL CHAPTER 33

Ezekiel 33:1 And there is a word of YHWH unto me, saying,
33:2 `Son of man, speak unto the sons of thy people, and thou hast said unto them: A land -- when I bring in against it a sword, And the people of the land have taken one man out of their borders, And made him to them for a watchman.
33:3 And he hath seen the sword coming against the land, And hath blown with a trumpet, and hath warned the people,
33:4 And the hearer hath heard the voice of the trumpet, and he hath not taken warning, And come in doth the sword, and taketh him away, His blood is on his head.
33:5 The voice of the trumpet he heard, And he hath not taken warning, his blood is on him, And he who took warning his soul hath delivered.
33:6 And the watchman, when he seeth the sword coming in, And he hath not blown with a trumpet, And the people hath not been warned, And come in doth a sword, And taketh away of them -- a soul, He in his iniquity is taken away, And his blood from the hand of the watchman I require.
33:7 And thou, son of man, A watchman I gave thee to the house of Israel, And thou hast heard from My mouth a word, And thou hast warned them from Me.
33:8 In My saying to the wicked, O wicked one -- thou dost surely die, And thou hast not spoken to warn the wicked from his way, He -- the wicked -- in his iniquity doth die, And his blood from thy hand I require.
33:9 And thou, when thou hast warned the wicked of his way, to turn back from it, And he hath not turned back from his way, He in his iniquity doth die, And thou thy soul hast delivered.
Ezekiel 33:10 And thou, son of man, say unto the house of Israel: Rightly ye have spoken, saying: Surely our transgressions and our sins [are] on us, And in them we are wasting away, How, then, do we live?
33:11 Say unto them, I live -- an affirmation of the Lord YHWH, I delight not in the death of the wicked, But -- in the turning of the wicked from his way, And he hath lived, Turn back, turn back, from your evil ways, Yea, why do ye die, O house of Israel?
33:12 And thou, son of man, say unto the sons of thy people: The righteousness of the righteous doth not deliver him in the day of his transgression, And the wickedness of the wicked, He doth not stumble for it in the day of his turning from his wickedness, And the righteous is not able to live in it in the day of his sinning.
33:13 In My saying of the righteous: He surely liveth, And -- he hath trusted on his righteousness, And he hath done perversity, All his righteous acts are not remembered, And for his perversity that he hath done, For it he doth die.
33:14 And in My saying to the wicked: Thou surely diest, And -- he hath turned back from his sin, And hath done judgment and righteousness,
33:15 (The pledge the wicked restoreth, plunder he repayeth,) In the statutes of life he hath walked, So as not to do perversity, He surely liveth -- he doth not die.
33:16 None of his sin that he hath sinned is remembered to him, Judgment and righteousness he hath done, He doth surely live.
33:17 And the sons of thy people have said: The way of the Lord is not pondered, As to them -- their way is not pondered.
33:18 In the turning back of the righteous from his righteousness, And he hath done perversity -- he dieth for it.
33:19 And in the turning back of the wicked from his wickedness, And he hath done judgment and righteousness, by them he liveth.
Ezekiel 33:20 And ye have said: The way of the Lord is not pondered, Each according to his ways do I judge you, O house of Israel.'
33:21 And it cometh to pass, in the twelfth year -- in the tenth [month], in the fifth of the month -- of our removal, come in unto me doth one who is escaped from Jerusalem, saying, `The city hath been smitten.'
33:22 And the hand of YHWH hath been unto me in the evening, before the coming in of the escaped one, and He openeth my mouth till the coming in unto me in the morning, and opened is my mouth, and I have not been silent again.
33:23 And there is a word of YHWH unto me, saying,
33:24 `Son of man, the inhabitants of these wastes on the ground of Israel are speaking, saying: Alone hath been Abraham -- and he possesseth the land, and we [are] many -- to us hath the land been given for a possession.
33:25 Therefore say unto them: Thus said the Lord YHWH: With the blood ye do eat, And your eyes ye lift up unto your idols, And blood ye shed, and the land ye inherit!
33:26 Ye have stood on your sword, Ye have done abomination, Each the wife of his neighbour ye have defiled, And the land ye possess!
33:27 Thus dost thou say unto them: Thus said the Lord YHWH: I live -- do not they who [are] in the wastes by the sword fall? And they who [are] on the face of the field, To the beast I have given for food, And they who are in strongholds and in caves by pestilence die.
33:28 And I have made the land a desolation and an astonishment, And ceased hath the excellency of its strength, And desolated have been mountains of Israel, Without any one passing through.
33:29 And they have known that I [am] YHWH, In My making the land a desolation and an astonishment, For all their abominations that they have done.
Ezekiel 33:30 And thou, son of man, the sons of thy people who are speaking about thee, By the walls, and in openings of the houses, Have spoken one with another, each with his brother, Saying: Come in, I pray you, And hear what [is] the word that cometh out from YHWH.
33:31 And they come in unto thee as the coming in of a people, And they sit before thee -- My people, And have heard thy words, and they do them not, For doting loves with their mouth they are making, After their dishonest gain their heart is going.
33:32 And lo, thou [art] to them as a singer of doting loves, A pleasant voice, and playing well on an instrument, And they have heard thy words, and they are not doing them.
33:33 And in its coming in -- lo, it hath come, And they have known that a prophet hath been in their midst!'

EZEKIEL CHAPTER 34

Ezekiel 34:1 And there is a word of YHWH unto me, saying,
34:2 `Son of man, prophesy concerning shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and thou hast said unto them: To the shepherds, thus said the Lord YHWH: Wo [to] the shepherds of Israel, Who have been feeding themselves! The flock do not the shepherds feed?
34:3 The fat ye do eat, and the wool ye put on, The fed one ye slaughter, the flock ye feed not.
34:4 The weak ye have not strengthened, And the sick one ye have not healed, And the broken ye have not bound up, And the driven away have not brought back, And the lost ye have not sought, And with might ye have ruled them and with rigour.
34:5 And they are scattered from want of a shepherd, And are for food to every beast of the field, Yea, they are scattered.
34:6 Go astray do My flock on all the mountains, And on every high hill, And on all the face of the land have My flock been scattered, And there is none inquiring, and none seeking.
34:7 Therefore, shepherds, hear a word of YHWH:
34:8 I live -- an affirmation of the Lord YHWH, If not, because of My flock being for a prey, Yea, My flock is for food to every beast of the field, Because there is no shepherd, And My shepherds have not sought My flock, And the shepherds do feed themselves, And My flock they have not fed.
34:9 Therefore, O shepherds, hear a word of YHWH:
Ezekiel 34:10 Thus said the Lord YHWH: Lo, I [am] against the shepherds, And have required My flock from their hand, And caused them to cease from feeding the flock, And no more do the shepherds feed themselves, And I have delivered My flock from their mouth, And they are not to them for food.
34:11 For thus said the Lord YHWH: Lo, I -- even I, have required My flock, And I have sought it out.
34:12 As a shepherd's searching of his drove, In the day of his being in the midst of his scattered flock, so I do seek My flock, And have delivered them out of all places, Whither they have been scattered, In a day of cloud and thick darkness.
34:13 And brought them out from the peoples, And have gathered them from the lands, And brought them unto their own ground, And have fed them on mountains of Israel, By streams, and by all dwellings of the land.
34:14 With good pasture I do feed them, And on mountains of the high place of Israel is their habitation, There do they lie down in a good habitation, And fat pastures they enjoy on mountains of Israel.
34:15 I feed My flock, and cause them to lie down, An affirmation of the Lord YHWH.
34:16 The lost I seek, and the driven away bring back, And the broken I bind up, and the sick I strengthen, And the fat and the strong I destroy, I feed it with judgment.
34:17 And you, My flock, thus said the Lord YHWH: Lo, I am judging between sheep and sheep, Between rams and he-goats.
34:18 Is it a little thing for you -- the good pasture ye enjoy, And the remnant of your pasture ye tread down with your feet, And a depth of waters ye do drink, And the remainder with your feet ye trample,
34:19 And My flock the trodden thing of your feet consumeth, And the trampled thing of your feet drinketh?
Ezekiel 34:20 Therefore, thus said the Lord YHWH to them: Lo, I -- even I, have judged between fat sheep and lean sheep.
34:21 Because with side and with shoulder ye thrust away, And with your horns push all the diseased, Till ye have scattered them to the out-place,
34:22 And I have given safety to My flock, And they are not any more for prey, And I have judged between sheep and sheep.
34:23 And have raised up over them one shepherd, And he hath fed them -- my servant David, He doth feed them, and he is their shepherd,
34:24 And I, YHWH, I am their God, And My servant David prince in their midst, I, YHWH, have spoken.
34:25 And I have made for them a covenant of peace, And caused evil beasts to cease out of the land, And they have dwelt in a wilderness confidently, And they have slept in forests.
34:26 And I have given them, and the suburbs of my hill, a blessing, And caused the shower to come down in its season, Showers of blessing they are.
34:27 And given hath the tree of the field its fruit, And the land doth give her increase, And they have been on their land confident, And they have known that I [am] YHWH, In My breaking the bands of their yoke, And I have delivered them from the hand of those laying service on them.
34:28 And they are no more a prey to nations, And the beast of the earth devoureth them not, And they have dwelt confidently, And there is none troubling.
34:29 And I have raised for them a plant for renown, And they are no more consumed by hunger in the land, And they bear no more the shame of the nations.
Ezekiel 34:30 And they have known that I, YHWH, their God, [am] with them, And they -- the house of Israel -- My people, An affirmation of the Lord YHWH.
34:31 And ye, My flock, the flock of My pasture, Men ye [are] -- I [am] your God, An affirmation of the Lord YHWH!'

EZEKIEL CHAPTER 35

Ezekiel 35:1 And there is a word of YHWH unto me, saying:
35:2 `Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it,
35:3 and thou hast said to it: Thus said the Lord YHWH: Lo, I [am] against thee, O mount Seir, And have stretched out My hand against thee, And made thee a desolation and an astonishment.
35:4 Thy cities a waste I make, and thou art a desolation, And thou hast known that I [am] YHWH.
35:5 Because of thy having an enmity age-during, And thou dost saw the sons of Israel, By the hands of the sword, In the time of their calamity, In the time of the iniquity of the end:
35:6 Therefore, I live -- an affirmation of the Lord YHWH, Surely for blood I do appoint thee, And blood doth pursue thee, If blood thou hast not hated, Blood also doth pursue thee.
35:7 And I have given mount Seir for a desolation and an astonishment, And have cut off from it him who is passing over and him who is returning,
35:8 And filled his mountains with his wounded, Thy hills, and thy valleys, and all thy streams, The pierced of the sword fall into them.
35:9 Desolations age-during I make thee, And thy cities do not return, And ye have known that I [am] YHWH.
Ezekiel 35:10 Because of thy saying: The two nations and the two lands are mine, and we have possessed it, And YHWH hath been there;
35:11 Therefore, I live -- an affirmation of the Lord YHWH, And I have done according to thine anger, And according to thine envy, With which thou hast wrought, Because of thy hatred against them, And I have been known among them when I judge thee.
35:12 And thou hast known that I -- YHWH, I have heard all thy despisings that thou hast spoken Against mountains of Israel, saying: A desolation, to us they were given for food.
35:13 And ye magnify yourselves against Me with your mouth, And have made abundant against Me your words, I -- I have heard.
35:14 Thus said the Lord YHWH: According to the rejoicing of the whole land, A desolation I make of thee.
35:15 According to thy joy at the inheritance of the house of Israel because of desolation, So I do to thee -- a desolation thou art, O mount Seir, and all Edom -- all of it, And they have known that I [am] YHWH!

EZEKIEL CHAPTER 36

Ezekiel 36:1 And thou, son of man, prophesy unto mountains of Israel, and thou hast said, O mountains of Israel, hear a word of YHWH.
36:2 Thus said the Lord YHWH: Because the enemy said against you, Aha, and the high places of old for a possession have been to us,
36:3 therefore, prophesy, and thou hast said: Thus said the Lord YHWH: Because, even because, of desolating, And of swallowing you up from round about, For your being a possession to the remnant of the nations, And ye are taken up on the tip of the tongue, And [are] an evil report of the people.
36:4 Therefore, O mountains of Israel, Hear a word of the Lord YHWH: Thus said the Lord YHWH, to mountains, and to hills, To streams, and to valleys, And to wastes that [are] desolate, And to cities that are forsaken, That have been for a prey, And for a scorn, to the remnant of the nations who [are] round about.
36:5 Therefore, thus said the Lord YHWH: Have I not, in the fire of My jealousy, Spoken against the remnant of the nations, And against Edom -- all of it, Who gave My land to themselves for a possession, With the joy of the whole heart -- with despite of soul, For the sake of casting it out for a prey?
36:6 Therefore, prophesy concerning the ground of Israel, And thou hast said to mountains, and to hills, To streams, and to valleys, Thus said the Lord YHWH: Lo, I, in My jealousy, and in My fury, I have spoken, Because the shame of nations ye have borne.
36:7 Therefore, thus said the Lord YHWH: I -- I have lifted up My hand, Do not -- the nations who [are] with you from round about -- they their own shame bear?
36:8 And ye, O mountains of Israel, Your branch ye give out, and your fruits ye bear for My people Israel, For they have drawn near to come.
36:9 For, lo, I [am] for you, and have turned to you, And ye have been tilled and sown.
Ezekiel 36:10 And I have multiplied on you men, All the house of Israel -- all of it, And the cities have been inhabited, And the wastes are built.
36:11 And I have multiplied on you man and beast, And they have multiplied and been fruitful, And I have caused you to dwell according to your former states, And I have done better than at your beginnings, And ye have known that I [am] YHWH.
36:12 And I have caused man to walk over you, -- My people Israel, And they possess thee, and thou hast been to them for an inheritance, And thou dost add no more to bereave them.
36:13 Thus said the Lord YHWH: Because they are saying to you: A devourer of men [art] thou, And a bereaver of thy nations thou hast been,
36:14 Therefore, man thou devourest no more, And thy nations thou causest not to stumble any more, An affirmation of the Lord YHWH.
36:15 And I proclaim not unto thee any more the shame of the nations, And the reproach of peoples thou bearest no more, And thy nations stumble not any more, An affirmation of the Lord YHWH.'
36:16 And there is a word of YHWH unto me, saying,
36:17 `Son of man, The house of Israel are dwelling on their land, And they defile it by their way and by their doings, As the uncleanness of a separated one hath their way been before Me.
36:18 And I do pour out My fury upon them For the blood that they shed on the land, And with their idols they have defiled it.
36:19 And I scatter them among nations, And they are spread through lands, According to their way, and according to their doings, I have judged them.
Ezekiel 36:20 And one goeth in unto the nations whither they have gone, And they pollute My holy name by saying to them, The people of YHWH [are] these, And from His land they have gone forth.
36:21 And I have pity on My holy name, That the house of Israel have polluted among nations whither they have gone in.
36:22 Therefore, say to the house of Israel, Thus said the Lord YHWH: Not for your sake am I working, O house of Israel, But -- for My holy name, That ye have polluted among nations whither ye have gone in.
36:23 And I have sanctified My great name, That is profaned among nations, That ye have polluted in your midst, And known have the nations that I [am] YHWH, An affirmation of the Lord YHWH, In My being sanctified in you before your eyes.
36:24 And I have taken you out of the nations, And have gathered you out of all the lands, And I have brought you in unto your land,
36:25 And I have sprinkled over you clean water, And ye have been clean; From all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols, I do cleanse you.
36:26 And I have given to you a new heart, And a new spirit I give in your midst, And I have turned aside the heart of stone out of your flesh, And I have given to you a heart of flesh.
36:27 And My Spirit I give in your midst, And I have done this, so that in My statutes ye walk, And My judgments ye keep, and have done them.
36:28 And ye have dwelt in the land that I have given to your fathers, And ye have been to Me for a people, And I -- I am to you for God.
36:29 And I have saved you from all your uncleannesses, And I have called unto the corn, and multiplied it, And I have put no famine upon you.
Ezekiel 36:30 And I have multiplied the fruit of the tree, And the increase of the field, So that ye receive not any more a reproach of famine among nations.
36:31 And ye have remembered your ways that [are] evil, And your doings that [are] not good, And have been loathsome in your own faces, For your iniquities, and for your abominations.
36:32 Not for your sake am I working, An affirmation of the Lord YHWH, Be it known to you, Be ashamed and confounded, because of your ways, O house of Israel.
36:33 Thus said the Lord YHWH: In the day of My cleansing you from all your iniquities, I have caused the cities to be inhabited, And the wastes have been built,
36:34 And the desolate land is tilled, Instead of which it was a desolation before the eyes of every passer by,
36:35 And they have said: This land, that was desolated, Hath been as the garden of Eden, And the cities -- the wasted, And the desolated, and the broken down, Fenced places have remained.
36:36 And known have the nations who are left round about you, That I YHWH have built the thrown down, I have planted the desolated: I YHWH have spoken, and I have done [it].
36:37 Thus said the Lord YHWH: Yet this I am required, By the house of Israel to do to them, I multiply them as a flock of men,
36:38 As a flock of holy ones, as a flock of Jerusalem, In her appointed seasons, So are the waste cities full of flocks of men, And they have known that I [am] YHWH!'

EZEKIEL CHAPTER 37

Ezekiel 37:1 There hath been upon me a hand of YHWH, and He taketh me forth in the Spirit of YHWH, and doth place me in the midst of the valley, and it is full of bones,
37:2 and He causeth me to pass over by them, all round about, and lo, very many [are] on the face of the valley, and lo, very dry.
37:3 And He saith unto me, `Son of man, do these bones live?' And I say, `O Lord YHWH, Thou -- Thou hast known.'
37:4 And He saith unto me, `Prophesy concerning these bones, and thou hast said unto them: O dry bones, hear a word of YHWH:
37:5 Thus said the Lord YHWH to these bones: Lo, I am bringing into you a spirit, and ye have lived,
37:6 and I have given on you sinews, and cause flesh to come up upon you, and covered you over with skin, and given in you a spirit, and ye have lived, and ye have known that I [am] YHWH.'
37:7 And I have prophesied as I have been commanded, and there is a noise, as I am prophesying, and lo, a rushing, and draw near do the bones, bone unto its bone.
37:8 And I beheld, and lo, on them [are] sinews, and flesh hath come up, and cover them doth skin over above -- and spirit there is none in them.
37:9 And He saith unto me: `Prophesy unto the Spirit, prophesy, son of man, and thou hast said unto the Spirit: Thus said the Lord YHWH: From the four winds come in, O Spirit, and breathe on these slain, and they do live.'
Ezekiel 37:10 And I have prophesied as He commanded me, and the Spirit cometh into them, and they live, and stand on their feet -- a very very great force.
37:11 And He saith unto me, `Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel; lo, they are saying: Dried up have our bones, And perished hath our hope, We have been cut off by ourselves.
37:12 Therefore, prophesy, and thou hast said unto them, thus said the Lord YHWH: Lo, I am opening your graves, And have brought you up out of your graves, O My people, And brought you in unto the land of Israel.
37:13 And ye have known that I [am] YHWH, In My opening your graves, And in My bringing you up out of your graves, O My people.
37:14 And I have given My Spirit in you, and ye have lived, And I have caused you to rest on your land, And ye have known that I YHWH, I have spoken, and I have done [it], An affirmation of YHWH.'
37:15 And there is a word of YHWH unto me, saying,
37:16 `And thou, son of man, take to thee one stick, and write on it, For Judah, and for the sons of Israel, his companions; and take another stick, and write on it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and all the house of Israel, his companions,
37:17 and bring them near one unto another, to thee, for one stick, and they have become one in thy hand.
37:18 `And when sons of thy people speak unto thee, saying, Dost thou not declare to us what these [are] to thee?
37:19 Speak unto them, Thus said the Lord YHWH: Lo, I am taking the stick of Joseph, that [is] in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his companions, and have given them unto him, with the stick of Judah, and have made them become one stick, and they have been one in My hand.
Ezekiel 37:20 And the sticks on which thou writest have been in thy hand before thine eyes,
37:21 and speak thou unto them: Thus said the Lord YHWH: Lo, I am taking the sons of Israel, From among the nations whither they have gone, And have gathered them from round about, And I have brought them in unto their land.
37:22 And I have made them become one nation in the land, on mountains of Israel, And one king is to them all for king, And they are no more as two nations, Nor are they divided any more into two kingdoms again.
37:23 Nor are they defiled any more with their idols, And with their abominations, And with any of their transgressions, And I have saved them out of all their dwellings, In which they have sinned, And I have cleansed them, And they have been to Me for a people, And I -- I am to them for God.
37:24 And My servant David [is] king over them, And one shepherd have they all, And in My judgments they go, And My statutes they keep, and have done them.
37:25 And they have dwelt on the land that I gave to My servant, to Jacob, In which your fathers have dwelt, And they have dwelt on it, they and their sons, And their son's sons -- unto the age, And David My servant [is] their prince -- to the age.
37:26 And I have made to them a covenant of peace, A covenant age-during it is with them, And I have placed them, and multiplied them, And placed My sanctuary in their midst -- to the age.
37:27 And My tabernacle hath been over them, And I have been to them for God, And they have been to Me for a people.
37:28 And known have the nations that I YHWH am sanctifying Israel, In My sanctuary being in their midst -- to the age!'

EZEKIEL CHAPTER 38

Ezekiel 38:1 And there is a word of YHWH unto me, saying:
38:2 `Son of man, set thy face unto Gog, of the land of Magog, prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy concerning him,
38:3 and thou hast said: Thus saith the Lord YHWH: Lo, I [am] against thee, O Gog, Prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal,
38:4 And I have turned thee back, And I have put hooks in thy jaws, And have brought thee out, and all thy force, Horses and horsemen, Clothed in perfection all of them, A numerous assembly, [with] buckler and shield, Handling swords -- all of them.
38:5 Persia, Cush, and Phut, with them, All of them [with] shield and helmet.
38:6 Gomer and all its bands, The house of Togarmah of the sides of the north, And all its bands, many peoples with thee,
38:7 Be prepared, yea, prepare for thee, Thou and all thine assemblies who are assembled unto thee, And thou hast been to them for a guard.
38:8 After many days thou art appointed, In the latter end of the years thou comest in unto a land brought back from sword, [A people] gathered out of many peoples, Upon mountains of Israel, That have been for a perpetual waste, And it from the peoples hath been brought out, And dwelt safely have all of them.
38:9 And thou hast gone up -- as wasting thou comest in, As a cloud to cover the land art thou, Thou and all thy bands, and many peoples with thee.
Ezekiel 38:10 Thus said the Lord YHWH: And it hath come to pass in that day, Come up do things on thy heart, And thou hast thought an evil thought,
38:11 And thou hast said: I go up against a land of unwalled villages, I go in to those at rest, dwelling confidently, All of them are dwelling without walls, And bar and doors they have not.
38:12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey, To turn back thy hand on inhabited wastes, And on a people gathered out of nations, Making cattle and substance, Dwelling on a high part of the land.
38:13 Sheba, and Dedan, and merchants of Tarshish, And all its young lions say to thee: To take a spoil art thou come in? To take a prey assembled thine assembly? To bear away silver and gold? To take away cattle and substance? To take a great spoil?
38:14 Therefore, prophesy, son of man, and thou hast said to Gog: Thus said the Lord YHWH: In that day, in the dwelling of My people Israel safely, Dost thou not know?
38:15 And thou hast come in out of thy place, From the sides of the north, Thou and many peoples with thee, Riding on horses -- all of them, A great assembly, and a numerous force.
38:16 And thou hast come up against My people Israel, As a cloud to cover the land, In the latter end of the days it is, And I have brought thee in against My land, In order that the nations may know Me, In My being sanctified in thee before their eyes, O Gog.
38:17 Thus said the Lord YHWH: Art thou he of whom I spake in former days, By the hand of My servants, prophets of Israel, Who are prophesying in those days -- years, To bring thee in against them?
38:18 And it hath come to pass, in that day, In the day of the coming in of Gog against the land of Israel, An affirmation of the Lord YHWH, Come up doth My fury in My face,
38:19 And in My zeal, in the fire of My wrath, I have spoken: Is there not in that day a great rushing on the land of Israel?
Ezekiel 38:20 And rushed from My presence have fishes of the sea, And the fowl of the heavens, And the beast of the field, And every creeping thing that is creeping on the ground, And all men who [are] on the face of the ground, And thrown down have been the mountains, And fallen have the ascents, And every wall to the earth falleth.
38:21 And I have called against him, to all My mountains a sword, An affirmation of the Lord YHWH, The sword of each is against his brother.
38:22 And I have been judged with him, With pestilence and with blood, And an overflowing rain and hailstones, Fire and brimstone I rain on him, and on his bands, And on many peoples who [are] with him.
38:23 And I have magnified Myself, and sanctified Myself, And I have been known before the eyes of many nations, And they have known that I [am] YHWH!

EZEKIEL CHAPTER 39

Ezekiel 39:1 And thou, son of man, prophesy concerning Gog, and thou hast said: Thus said the Lord YHWH: Lo, I [am] against thee, O Gog, Prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal,
39:2 And have turned thee back, and enticed thee, And caused thee to come up from the sides of the north, And brought thee in against mountains of Israel,
39:3 And have smitten thy bow out of thy left hand, Yea, thine arrows out of thy right I cause to fall.
39:4 On mountains of Israel thou fallest, Thou, and all thy bands, and the peoples who [are] with thee, To ravenous fowl -- a bird of every wing, And [to] a beast of the field, I have given thee for food.
39:5 On the face of the field thou fallest, for I have spoken, An affirmation of the Lord YHWH.
39:6 And I have sent a fire against Magog, And against the confident inhabitants of the isles, And they have known that I [am] YHWH.
39:7 And My holy name I make known in the midst of My people Israel, And I pollute not My holy name any more, And known have the nations that I, YHWH, the Holy One, [am] in Israel.
39:8 Lo, it hath come, and it hath been done, An affirmation of the Lord YHWH, It [is] the day of which I spake.
39:9 And gone out have the inhabitants of cities of Israel, And they have burned and kindled [a fire], With armour, and shield, and buckler, With bow, and with arrows, And with hand-staves, and with javelins, And they have caused a fire to burn with them seven years,
Ezekiel 39:10 And they do not take wood out of the field, Nor do they hew out of the forests, For with armour they cause the fire to burn, And they have spoiled their spoilers, And they have plundered their plunderers, An affirmation of the Lord YHWH.
39:11 And it hath come to pass, in that day, I give to Gog a place there -- a grave in Israel, the valley of those passing by, east of the sea, and it is stopping those passing by, and they have buried there Gog, and all his multitude, and have cried, O valley of the multitude of Gog!
39:12 And the house of Israel have buried them -- in order to cleanse the land -- seven months.
39:13 Yea, all the people of the land have buried them, and it hath been to them for a name -- the day of My being honoured -- an affirmation of the Lord YHWH.
39:14 And men for continual employment they separate, passing on through the land, burying with those passing by those who are left on the face of the earth, to cleanse it: at the end of seven months they search.
39:15 And those passing by have passed through the land, and seen a bone of man, and one hath constructed near it a sign till those burying have buried it in the valley of the multitude of Gog.
39:16 And also the name of the city [is] The multitude; and they have cleansed the land.
39:17 And thou, son of man, thus said the Lord YHWH: Say to the bird -- every wing, and to every beast of the field: Be assembled and come in, Be gathered from round about, For My sacrifice that I am sacrificing for you, A great sacrifice on mountains of Israel, And ye have eaten flesh, and drunk blood.
39:18 Flesh of the mighty ye do eat, And blood of princes of the earth ye drink, Of rams, of lambs, and of he-goats, Of calves, fatlings of Bashan -- all of them.
39:19 And ye have eaten fat to satiety, And ye have drunk blood -- to drunkenness, Of My sacrifice that I sacrificed for you.
Ezekiel 39:20 And ye have been satisfied at My table with horse and rider, Mighty man, and every man of war, An affirmation of the Lord YHWH.
39:21 And I have given My honour among nations, And seen have all the nations My Judgment that I have done, And My hand that I have laid on them.
39:22 And known have the house of Israel that I [am] YHWH their God, From that day and henceforth.
39:23 And known have the nations that for their iniquity, Removed have the house of Israel, Because they have trespassed against Me, And I do hide My face from them, And give them into the hand of their adversaries, And they fall by sword -- all of them.
39:24 According to their uncleanness, And according to their transgressions, I have done with them, And I do hide My face from them.
39:25 Therefore, thus said the Lord YHWH: Now do I bring back the captivity of Jacob, And I have pitied all the house of Israel, And have been zealous for My holy name.
39:26 And they have forgotten their shame, And all their trespass that they trespassed against Me, In their dwelling on their land confidently and none troubling.
39:27 In My bringing them back from the peoples, I have assembled them from the lands of their enemies, And I have been sanctified in them before the eyes of the many nations,
39:28 And they have known that I [am] YHWH their God, In My removing them unto the nations, And I have gathered them unto their land, And I leave none of them any more there.
39:29 And I hide not any more My face from them, In that I have poured out My spirit on the house of Israel, An affirmation of the Lord YHWH!'

Ezekiel 42:1 And he bringeth me forth unto the outer court, the way northward, and he bringeth me in unto the chamber that [is] over-against the separate place, and that [is] over-against the building at the north.

42:3 Over-against the twenty [cubits] that are to the inner court, and over-against the pavement that [is] to the outer court, [is] gallery over-against gallery, in the three [storeys].
42:4 And at the front of the chambers [is] a walk of ten cubits in breadth unto the inner part, a way of one cubit, and their openings [are] at the north.
42:5 And the upper chambers [are] short, for the galleries contain more than these, than the lower, and than the middle one, of the building;
42:6 for they [are] threefold, and they have no pillars as the pillars of the court, therefore it hath been kept back -- more than the lower and than the middle one -- from the ground.
42:7 As to the wall that [is] at the outside, over-against the chambers, the way of the outer-court at the front of the chambers, its length [is] fifty cubits;

42:14 In the priests' going in, they come not out from the sanctuary unto the outer court, and there they place their garments with which they minister, for they [are] holy, and have put on other garments, and have drawn near unto that which [is] for the people.'

43:5 And take me up doth the Spirit, and bringeth me in unto the inner court, and lo, the honour of YHWH hath filled the house.
43:6 And I hear one speaking unto me from the house, and a man hath been standing near me,
43:7 and He saith unto me: `Son of man, the place of My throne, And the place of the soles of My feet, Where I dwell in the midst of the sons of Israel to the age, Defile no more do the house of Israel My holy name, They, and their kings, by their whoredom, And by the carcases of their kings -- their high places.
43:8 In their putting their threshold with My threshold, And their door-post near My door-post, And the wall between Me and them, And they have defiled My holy name, By their abominations that they have done, And I consume them in Mine anger.
43:9 Now do they put far off their whoredom, And the carcases of their kings -- from Me, And I have dwelt in their midst to the age.
Ezekiel 43:10 Thou, son of man, Shew the house of Israel the house, And they are ashamed of their iniquities, And they have measured the measurement.
43:11 And since they have been ashamed of all that they have done, The form of the house, and its measurement, And its outlets, and its inlets, and all its forms, And all its statutes, even all its forms, And all its laws cause them to know, And write [it] before their eyes, And they observe all its forms, And all its statutes, and have done them.
43:12 This [is] a law of the house: on the top of the mountain, all its border all round about [is] most holy; lo, this [is] a law of the house.
43:13 `And these [are] measures of the altar by cubits: The cubit [is] a cubit and a handbreadth, and the centre [is] a cubit, and a cubit the breadth; and its border on its edge round about [is] one span, and this [is] the upper part of the altar.
43:14 And from the centre of the ground unto the lower border [is] two cubits, and the breadth one cubit, and from the lesser border unto the greater border four cubits, and the breadth a cubit.
43:15 `And the altar [is] four cubits, and from the altar and upward [are] four horns.
43:16 And the altar [is] twelve long by twelve broad, square in its four squares.
43:17 And the border [is] fourteen long by fourteen broad, at its four squares, and the border round about it [is] half a cubit, and the centre to it [is] a cubit round about, and its steps are looking eastward.'

43:19 And thou hast given unto the priests, the Levites, who [are] of the seed of Zadok -- who are near unto Me, an affirmation of the Lord YHWH, to serve Me -- a calf from the herd, for a sin-offering.
Ezekiel 43:20 And thou hast taken of its blood, and hast put it on its four horns, and on the four corners of its border, and on the border round about, and hast cleansed it, and purified it.
43:21 And thou hast taken the bullock of the sin-offering, and hast burnt it in the appointed place of the house at the outside of the sanctuary.
43:22 And on the second day thou dost bring near a kid of the goats, a perfect one, for a sin-offering, and they have cleansed the altar, as they cleansed [it] for the bullock.
43:23 In thy finishing cleansing, thou dost bring near a calf, a son of the herd, a perfect one, and a ram out of the flock, a perfect one.
43:24 And thou hast brought them near before YHWH, and the priests have cast upon them salt, and have caused them to go up, a burnt-offering to YHWH.
43:25 Seven days thou dost prepare a goat for a sin-offering daily, and a bullock, a son of the herd, and a ram out of the flock, perfect ones, do they prepare.
43:26 Seven days they purify the altar, and have cleansed it, and filled their hand.
43:27 And the days are completed, and it hath come to pass on the eighth day, and henceforth, the priests prepare on the altar your burnt-offerings and your peace-offerings, and I have accepted you -- an affirmation of the Lord YHWH.'

EZEKIEL CHAPTER 44

Ezekiel 44:1 And he causeth me to turn back the way of the gate of the outer sanctuary that is looking eastward, and it is shut.
44:2 And YHWH saith unto me, `This gate is shut, it is not opened, and none doth go in by it, for YHWH, God of Israel, hath come in by it, and it hath been shut.
44:3 The prince, who [is] prince, he sitteth by it to eat bread before YHWH, by the way of the porch of the gate he cometh in, and by its way he goeth out.'
44:4 And he bringeth me in the way of the north gate unto the front of the house, and I look, and lo, filled hath the honour of YHWH the house of YHWH, and I fall on my face.
44:5 And YHWH saith unto me, `Son of man, set thy heart, and see with thine eyes, and with thine ears hear, all that I am speaking with thee, of all the statutes of the house of YHWH, and of all its laws; and thou hast set thy heart to the entrance of the house, with all the outlets of the sanctuary,
44:6 and hast said unto the rebellious, unto the house of Israel: Thus said the Lord YHWH: Enough to you -- of all your abominations, O house of Israel.
44:7 In your bringing in sons of a stranger, uncircumcised of heart, and uncircumcised of flesh, to be in My sanctuary, to pollute it, even My house, in your bringing near My bread, fat, and blood, and they break My covenant by all your abominations,
44:8 and ye have not kept the charge of My holy things, and ye set [them] for keepers of My charge in My sanctuary for you.
44:9 `Thus said the Lord YHWH: No son of a stranger, uncircumcised of heart, and uncircumcised of flesh, cometh in unto My sanctuary, even any son of a stranger, who [is] in the midst of the sons of Israel,
Ezekiel 44:10 but -- the Levites who have gone far off from me, in the wandering of Israel when they went astray from Me after their idols, and they have borne their iniquity.
44:11 And they have been in My sanctuary ministrants, overseers at the gates of the house, and ministrants at the house; they slay the burnt-offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they stand before them to serve them.
44:12 Because that they serve them before their idols, and have been to the house of Israel for a stumbling-block of iniquity, therefore I have lifted up my hand against them -- an affirmation of the Lord YHWH -- and they have borne their iniquity.
44:13 And they draw not nigh unto Me to act as My priest, and to draw nigh unto any of My holy things, unto the holy of holies, and they have borne their shame and their abominations that they have done,
44:14 and I made them keepers of the charge of the house, for all its service and for all that is done in it.
