H1961–הָיָה–ha.yah

A copy of the writing, that the decree should be given out in every province, was published to all the peoples, and that the Jews should be ready against that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.

וְלִהְי֨וֹת (הְי֨וֹת) h.Yot “be”

The Jews had light and gladness, and joy and honor.

הָֽיְתָ֥ה ha.ye.Tah “it belonged”

to enjoin those who they should keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same, yearly,

לִהְי֣וֹת (הְי֣וֹת) h.Yot “be”

the Jews ordained, and took on them, and on their seed, and on all such as joined themselves to them, so that it should not fail, that they would keep these two days according to the writing of it, and according to the appointed time of it, every year;

לִהְי֣וֹת (הְי֣וֹת) h.Yot “be”

There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job. That man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God, and turned away from evil.

הָיָ֥ה ha.Yah “he was”וְהָיָ֣ה׀ (הָיָ֣ה) ha.Yah “he was”

His possessions also were seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred she-donkeys, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the children of the east.

וַיְהִ֣י (יְהִ֣י) y.Hi “it was”וַיְהִי֙ (יְהִי֙) y.Hi “he was”

It was so, when the days of their feasting had run their course, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, "It may be that my sons have sinned, and renounced God in their hearts." Thus did Job continually.

וַיְהִ֡י (יְהִ֡י) y.Hi “it was”

Now it happened on the day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Yahweh, that Satan also came among them.

וַיְהִ֣י (יְהִ֣י) y.Hi “it was”

It fell on a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house,

וַיְהִ֖י (יְהִ֖י) y.Hi “it was”

that there came a messenger to Job, and said, "The oxen were plowing, and the donkeys feeding beside them,

הָי֣וּ ha.Yu “they were”

He said, "Naked I came out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return there. Yahweh gave, and Yahweh has taken away. Blessed be the name of Yahweh."

יְהִ֛י ye.Hi “may it be”

Again it happened on the day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Yahweh, that Satan came also among them to present himself before Yahweh.

וַיְהִ֣י (יְהִ֣י) y.Hi “it was”

Let that day be darkness; Don't let God from above seek for it, Neither let the light shine on it.

יְֽהִ֫י ye.Hi “let it be”

Behold, let that night be barren. Let no joyful voice come therein.

יְהִ֣י ye.Hi “let it be”

Or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been, As infants who never saw light.

אֶהְיֶ֑ה 'eh.Yeh “was I?”

So the poor has hope, And injustice shuts her mouth.

וַתְּהִ֣י (תְּהִ֣י) te.Hi “it belonged”

Be it still my consolation, Yes, let me exult in pain that doesn't spare, That I have not denied the words of the Holy One.

וּ֥תְהִי (תְהִי) te.hi “may it be”

For now you are nothing. You see a terror, and are afraid.

הֱיִ֣יתֶם he.Yi.tem “you have become”

Please return. Let there be no injustice; Yes, return again, my cause is righteous.

תְּהִ֣י te.Hi “it be”

If I have sinned, what do I do to you, you watcher of men? Why have you set me as a mark for you, So that I am a burden to myself?

וָאֶהְיֶ֖ה (אֶהְיֶ֖ה) 'eh.Yeh “I have become”

Though your beginning was small, Yet your latter end would greatly increase.

וְהָיָ֣ה (הָיָ֣ה) ha.Yah “it will be”

I should have been as though I had not been. I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.

הָיִ֣יתִי ha.Yi.ti “I had been”אֶהְיֶ֑ה 'eh.Yeh “I was”

For you say, 'My doctrine is pure, I am clean in your eyes.'

הָיִ֥יתִי ha.Yi.ti “I am”

Surely then shall you lift up your face without spot; Yes, you shall be steadfast, and shall not fear:

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

Life shall be clearer than the noonday; Though there is darkness, it shall be as the morning.

תִּהְיֶֽה׃ tih.Yeh “it will become”
