H1934–הֲוָא–ha.va

Be it known to the king that the Jews who came up from thee unto us have come to Jerusalem; they are building the rebellious and the bad city, and they complete the walls and join up the foundations.

לֶהֱוֵ֣א le.he.Ve' “let it be”

Be it known therefore unto the king, that, if this city be built and the walls be completed, they will not pay tribute, tax, and toll, and in the end it will bring damage to the kings.

לֶהֱוֵ֣א le.he.Ve' “let it be”

And there have been mighty kings over Jerusalem, who have ruled over all beyond the river; and tribute, tax, and toll were paid to them.

הֲווֹ֙ ha.Vo “they were”

and take heed that ye fail not to do this: why should harm grow to the damage of the kings?

הֱו֛וֹ he.Vo “be”

Then ceased the work of the house of God which is at Jerusalem; and it ceased until the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia.

וַהֲוָת֙ (הֲוָת֙) ha.Vat “it was”

But the eye of their God was upon the elders of the Jews, and they did not make them cease till the matter came to Darius; and then they returned answer by letter concerning it.

הֲוָת֙ ha.Vat “it was”

Be it known to the king that we went into the province of Judah, to the house of the great God, which is being built with great stones, and timber is laid in the walls, and this work is being carried on with diligence, and prospers in their hand.

לֶהֱוֵ֣א le.he.Ve' “let it be”

And thus they returned us answer, saying, We are the servants of the God of the heavens and the earth, and build the house that was built these many years ago; and a great king of Israel built and completed it.

הֲוָ֨א ha.Va' “it was”

Therefore Tatnai, governor beyond the river, Shethar-boznai, and your companions the Apharsachites, who are beyond the river, be ye far from thence:

הֲו֖וֹ ha.Vo “be!”

Moreover, I give orders what ye shall do to these elders of the Jews, for the building of this house of God: that of the king's goods, of the tribute beyond the river, expenses be diligently given to these men, that they be not hindered.

תֶּהֱוֵ֧א te.he.Ve' “let it be”

And that which they have need of, both young bullocks and rams and lambs, for the burnt-offerings to the God of the heavens, wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the appointment of the priests that are at Jerusalem, let it be given them day by day without fail;

לֶהֱוֵ֨א le.he.Ve' “it will be”

that they may present sweet odours to the God of the heavens, and pray for the life of the king and of his sons.

לֶהֱוֹ֧ן le.he.Von “they will be”

לֶֽהֱוֵא֙ le.he.Ve' “will it be”

And thou, Ezra, after the wisdom of thy God, which is in thy hand, set magistrates and judges who may judge all the people that are beyond the river, all such as know the laws of thy God; and teach ye him that knows [supplied: them] not.

לֶהֱוֹ֤ן le.he.Von “they will be”

And whosoever will not do the law of thy God and the law of the king, let judgment be executed diligently upon him, whether unto death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment.

לֶהֱוֵ֨א le.he.Ve' “he will be”לֶהֱוֵ֥א le.he.Ve' “let it be”

Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever; For wisdom and might are his.

לֶהֱוֵ֨א le.he.Ve' “let it be”

but there is a God in the heavens, who revealeth secrets, and maketh known to king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be at the end of days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed are these:

לֶהֱוֵ֖א le.he.Ve' “it will be”

-- as for thee, O king, thy thoughts arose upon thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter; and he that revealeth secrets hath made known to thee what shall come to pass.

לֶהֱוֵ֖א le.he.Ve' “it will be”לֶהֱוֵֽא׃ le.he.Ve' “it will be”

Thou, O king, sawest, and behold, a great image. This image was mighty and its brightness excellent; it stood before thee, and its appearance was terrible.

הֲוַ֙יְתָ֙ ha.Vay.ta “you were”

Thou sawest till a stone was cut out without hands; and it smote the image upon its feet of iron and clay, and broke them to pieces.

הֲוַ֗יְתָ ha.Vay.ta “you were”

Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold broken in pieces together, and they became like the chaff of the summer threshing-floors; and the wind carried them away, and no place was found for them. And the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.

וַהֲווֹ֙ (הֲווֹ֙) ha.Vo “they were”הֲוָ֛ת ha.Vat “it became”

And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth everything, and as iron that breaketh all these, so shall it break in pieces and bruise.

תֶּהֱוֵ֥א te.he.Ve' “it will be”

And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potter's clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.

תֶּהֱוֵ֔ה te.he.Veh “it will be”לֶֽהֱוֵא־ le.he.ve'- “it will be”

And [supplied: as] the toes of the feet were part of iron and part of clay, the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly fragile.

תֶּהֱוֵ֣ה te.he.Veh “it will be”תֶּהֱוֵ֥ה te.he.Veh “it will be”

And whereas thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men; but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron doth not mingle with clay.
