H1961–הָיָה–ha.yah

Son of man, be a prophet against the keepers of the flock of Israel, and say to them, O keepers of the sheep! this is the word of the Lord: A curse is on the keepers of the flock of Israel who take the food for themselves! is it not right for the keepers

הָיוּ֙ ha.Yu “they have been”

And they were wandering in every direction because there was no keeper: and they became food for all the beasts of the field.

וַתִּהְיֶ֧ינָה (תִּהְיֶ֧ינָה) tih.Yei.nah “they have become”

By my life, says the Lord, truly, because my sheep have been taken away, and my sheep became food for all the beasts of the field, because there was no keeper, and my keepers did not go in search of the sheep, but the keepers took food for themselves and

הֱיֽוֹת־ he.yot- “has become”וַתִּֽהְיֶינָה֩ (תִּֽהְיֶינָה֩) tih.yei.Nah “they have become”

This is what the Lord has said: See I am against the keepers of the flock, and I will make search and see what they have done with my sheep, and will let them be keepers of my sheep no longer; and the keepers will no longer get food for themselves; I wil

תִהְיֶ֥יןָ tih.Yei.na “they will become”

As the keeper goes looking for his flock when he is among his wandering sheep, so I will go looking for my sheep, and will get them safely out of all the places where they have been sent wandering in the day of clouds and black night.

הֱיוֹת֤וֹ (הֱיוֹת֤) he.yo.T “is”

I will give them good grass-land for their food, and their safe place will be the mountains of the high place of Israel: there they will take their rest in a good place, and on fat grass-land they will take their food on the mountains of Israel.

יִהְיֶ֣ה yih.Yeh “it will be”

I will make my flock safe, and they will no longer be taken away, and I will be judge between sheep and sheep.

תִהְיֶ֥ינָה tih.Yei.nah “they will become”

And I will put over them one keeper, and he will give them food, even my servant David; he will give them food and be their keeper.

יִהְיֶ֥ה yih.Yeh “he will become”

And I the Lord will be their God and my servant David their ruler; I the Lord have said it.

אֶהְיֶ֤ה 'eh.Yeh “I will become”

And I will give the rain at the right time, and I will make the shower come down at the right time; there will be showers of blessing.

יִֽהְיֽוּ׃ Yih.Yu “they will be”

And the tree of the field will give its fruit and the earth will give its increase, and they will be safe in their land; and they will be certain that I am the Lord, when I have had their yoke broken and have given them salvation from the hands of those

וְהָי֥וּ (הָי֥וּ) ha.Yu “they will be”

And their goods will no longer be taken by the nations, and they will not again be food for the beasts of the earth; but they will be living safely and no one will be a cause of fear to them.

יִהְי֨וּ yih.Yu “they will be”

And I will give them planting-places of peace, and they will no longer be wasted from need of food or put to shame by the nations.

יִהְי֨וּ yih.Yu “they will be”

Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

וַיְהִ֥י (יְהִ֥י) y.Hi “it came”

I will make your towns unpeopled and you will be a waste; and you will be certain that I am the Lord.

תִֽהְיֶ֑ה tih.Yeh “you will be”

Because yours has been a hate without end, and you have given up the children of Israel to the power of the sword in the time of their trouble, in the time of the punishment of the end:

הֱי֤וֹת he.Yot “belonged”

Because you have said, The two nations and the two countries are to be mine, and we will take them for our heritage; though the Lord was there:

תִהְיֶ֖ינָה tih.Yei.nah “they will belong”הָיָֽה׃ ha.Yah “he was”

You will become a waste, O Mount Seir, and all Edom, even all of it: and you will be certain that I am the Lord.

תִֽהְיֶ֤ה tih.Yeh “you will be”

This is what the Lord has said: Because your hater has said against you, Aha! and, The old waste places are our heritage, we have taken them:

הָ֥יְתָה Ha.ye.tah “it has become”

For this cause be a prophet, and say, This is what the Lord has said: Because, even because they have been glad over you and put you to shame on every side, because you have become a heritage for the rest of the nations, and you are taken up on the lips

לִֽהְיוֹתְכֶ֤ם (הְיוֹתְ) h.yot. “be”

For this reason, you mountains of Israel, give ear to the word of the Lord; this is what the Lord has said to the mountains and to the hills, to the streams and to the valleys, to the unpeopled wastes and to the towns where no one is living, from which t

הָי֤וּ ha.Yu “they have become”

Yes, I will have you walked on by the feet of men, even my people Israel; they will have you for a heritage and you will be theirs, and never again will you take their children from them.

וְהָיִ֥יתָ (הָיִ֥יתָ) ha.Yi.ta “you will become”

This is what the Lord has said: Because they say to you, You, O land, are the destruction of men, causing loss of children to your nation;

הָיִֽית׃ ha.Yit “you have been”

Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

וַיְהִ֥י (יְהִ֥י) y.Hi “it came”

Son of man, when the children of Israel were living in their land, they made it unclean by their way and their acts: their way before me was as when a woman is unclean at the time when she is kept separate.
