H9005–/ל–l

The word which came unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth that were under his dominion, and all the peoples, were fighting against Jerusalem, and against all the cities thereof, saying:

לֵאמֹֽר׃ (לֵ) le. “<to>”

thou shalt die in peace; and with the burnings of thy fathers, the former kings that were before thee, so shall they make a burning for thee; and they shall lament thee, [supplied: saying], Ah Lord! for I have spoken the word, saith Jehovah.

לְפָנֶ֗יךָ (לְ) le. “<to>”לָ֔ךְ (לָ֔) La “for <the>”לָ֑ךְ (לָ֑) La “for <the>”

The word that came unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, after that the king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people that were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty unto them;

לִקְרֹ֥א (לִ) li “to”לָהֶ֖ם (לָ) la. “to <the>”

that every man should let his man-servant, and every man his maid-servant, that is a Hebrew or a Hebrewess, go free; that none should make bondmen of them, [supplied: to wit], of a Jew his brother.

לְ֠שַׁלַּח (לְ֠) Le. “to”לְבִלְתִּ֧י (לְ) le. “to”

And all the princes and all the people obeyed, that had entered into the covenant, that every one should let his man-servant, and every one his maid-servant, go free, that none should make bondmen of them any more; they obeyed, and let them go:

לְ֠שַׁלַּח (לְ֠) Le. “to”לְבִלְתִּ֥י (לְ) le. “to”

but afterwards they turned, and caused the servants and the handmaids, whom they had let go free, to return, and brought them into subjection for servants and for handmaids.

לַעֲבָדִ֖ים (לַ) la. “for”וְלִשְׁפָחֽוֹת׃ (לִ) li “for”

Therefore the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,

לֵאמֹֽר׃ (לֵ) le. “<to>”

Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, saying,

לֵאמֹֽר׃ (לֵ) le. “<to>”

At the end of seven years ye shall let go every man his brother that is a Hebrew, that hath been sold unto thee, and hath served thee six years, thou shalt let him go free from thee: but your fathers hearkened not unto me, neither inclined their ear.

לְךָ֗ (לְ) le. “to <the>”

And ye were now turned, and had done that which is right in mine eyes, in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbor; and ye had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name:

לִקְרֹ֥א (לִ) li “by”לְרֵעֵ֑הוּ (לְ) le. “to”לְפָנַ֔י (לְ) le. “<to>”

but ye turned and profaned my name, and caused every man his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom ye had let go free at their pleasure, to return; and ye brought them into subjection, to be unto you for servants and for handmaids.

לְנַפְשָׁ֑ם (לְ) le. “to”לִֽהְי֣וֹת (לִֽ) li “to”לָכֶ֔ם (לָ) la. “of”לַעֲבָדִ֖ים (לַ) la. “<into>”וְלִשְׁפָחֽוֹת׃ (לִ) li “<into>”

Therefore thus saith Jehovah: ye have not hearkened unto me, to proclaim liberty, every man to his brother, and every man to his neighbor: behold, I proclaim unto you a liberty, saith Jehovah, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you to be tossed to and fro among all the kingdoms of the earth.

לָכֵן֮ (לָ) la. “<to>”לִקְרֹ֣א (לִ) li “by”לְאָחִ֖יו (לְ) le. “to”לְרֵעֵ֑הוּ (לְ) le. “to”לָכֶ֨ם (לָ) la. “to <the>”לְזַעֲוָ֔ה (לְ) li “into”לְכֹ֖ל (לְ) le. “to”

And I will give the men that have transgressed my covenant, that have not performed the words of the covenant which they made before me, when they cut the calf in twain and passed between the parts thereof;

לְפָנָ֑י (לְ) le. “<to>”לִשְׁנַ֔יִם (לִ) li “into”

I will even give them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life; and their dead bodies shall be for food unto the birds of the heavens, and to the beasts of the earth.

לְמַֽאֲכָ֔ל (לְ) le. “<into>”לְע֥וֹף (לְ) le. “for”וּלְבֶהֱמַ֥ת (לְ) le. “for”

The word which came unto Jeremiah from Jehovah in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying,

לֵאמֹֽר׃ (לֵ) le. “<to>”

and I brought them into the house of Jehovah, into the chamber of the sons of Hanan the son of Igdaliah, the man of God, which was by the chamber of the princes, which was above the chamber of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the threshold.

לְלִשְׁכַּ֛ת (לְ) le. “<to>”

And I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites bowls full of wine, and cups; and I said unto them, Drink ye wine.

לִפְנֵ֣י׀ (לִ) li “<to>”

But they said, We will drink no wine; for Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, commanded us, saying, Ye shall drink no wine, neither ye, nor your sons, for ever:

לֵאמֹ֔ר (לֵ) le. “<to>”

neither shall ye build house, nor sow seed, nor plant vineyard, nor have any; but all your days ye shall dwell in tents; that ye may live many days in the land wherein ye sojourn.

לָכֶ֑ם (לָ) la. “to <the>”

And we have obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, in all that he charged us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, or our daughters;

לְכֹ֖ל (לְ) le. “to”לְבִלְתִּ֤י (לְ) le. “to”

nor to build houses for us to dwell in; neither have we vineyard, nor field, nor seed:

וּלְבִלְתִּ֛י (לְ) le. “to”לְשִׁבְתֵּ֑נוּ (לְ) le. “to”לָּֽנוּ׃ (לָּֽ) La. “to <the>”

Then came the word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah, saying,

לֵאמֹֽר׃ (לֵ) le. “<to>”

Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Go, and say to the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Will ye not receive instruction to hearken to my words? saith Jehovah.

לְאִ֣ישׁ (לְ) le. “to”וּלְיֽוֹשְׁבֵ֖י (לְ) le. “to”לִשְׁמֹ֥עַ (לִ) li “to”

The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, that he commanded his sons, not to drink wine, are performed; and unto this day they drink none, for they obey their father's commandment: but I have spoken unto you, rising up early and speaking; and ye have not hearkened unto me.

לְבִלְתִּ֣י (לְ) le. “to”

I have sent also unto you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, Return ye now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and go not after other gods to serve them, and ye shall dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers: but ye have not inclined your ear, nor hearkened unto me.
