H9005–/ל–l

The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth of his dominion, and all the people, fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities thereof, saying,

לֵאמֹֽר׃ (לֵ) le. “<to>”

But thou shalt die in peace: and with the burnings of thy fathers, the former kings which were before thee, so shall they burn odours for thee; and they will lament thee, saying, Ah lord! for I have pronounced the word, saith the LORD.

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

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

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

That every man should let his manservant, and every man his maidservant, being an Hebrew or an Hebrewess, go free; that none should serve himself of them, to wit, of a Jew his brother.

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

Now when all the princes, and all the people, which had entered into the covenant, heard that every one should let his manservant, and every one his maidservant, go free, that none should serve themselves of them any more, then they obeyed, and let them go.

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

But afterward 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.

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

לֵאמֹֽר׃ (לֵ) le. “<to>”

Thus saith the LORD, 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 bondmen, saying,

לֵאמֹֽר׃ (לֵ) le. “<to>”

At the end of seven years let ye go every man his brother an Hebrew, which hath been sold unto thee; and when he 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 right in my sight, in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbour; 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 polluted my name, and caused every man his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom he had set at liberty at their pleasure, to return, and 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 the LORD; Ye have not hearkened unto me, in proclaiming liberty, every one to his brother, and every man to his neighbour: behold, I proclaim a liberty for you, saith the LORD, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.

The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD 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 the LORD, into the chamber of the sons of Hanan, the son of Igdaliah, a 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 door:

לְלִשְׁכַּ֛ת (לְ) le. “<to>”

And I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites pots 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 where ye be strangers.

לָכֶ֑ם (לָ) la. “to <the>”

Thus have we obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab our father in all that he hath charged us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, nor 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:

Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying,

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