H1934–הֲוָא–ha.va

We give news to the king that the Jews who came from you have come to us at Jerusalem; they are building up again that uncontrolled and evil town; the walls are complete and they are joining up the bases.

לֶהֱוֵ֣א le.he.Ve' “let it be”

The king may be certain that when the building of this town and its walls is complete, they will give no tax or payment in goods or forced payments, and in the end it will be a cause of loss to the kings.

לֶהֱוֵ֣א le.he.Ve' “let it be”

Further, there have been great kings in Jerusalem, ruling over all the country across the river, to whom they gave taxes and payments in goods and forced payments.

הֲווֹ֙ ha.Vo “they were”

Be certain to do this with all care: do not let trouble be increased to the king's damage.

הֱו֛וֹ he.Vo “be”

So the work of the house of God at Jerusalem came to an end; so it was stopped, till the second year of the rule of Darius, king of Persia.

וַהֲוָת֙ (הֲוָת֙) ha.Vat “it was”

But the eye of their God was on the chiefs of the Jews, and they did not make them give up working till the question had been put before Darius and an answer had come by letter about it.

הֲוָת֙ ha.Vat “it was”

This is to give the king word that we went into the land of Judah, to the house of the great God, which is made of great stones, and has its walls supported with wood, and the work is going on with industry, and they are doing it well.

לֶהֱוֵ֣א le.he.Ve' “let it be”

And they made answer to us, saying, We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and we are building the house which was put up in times long past and was designed and made complete by a great king of Israel.

הֲוָ֨א ha.Va' “it was”

So now, Tattenai, ruler of the land across the river, and Shethar-bozenai and your people the Apharsachites across the river, keep far from that place:

הֲו֖וֹ ha.Vo “be!”

Further, I give orders as to what you are to do for the responsible men of the Jews in connection with the building of this house of God: that from the king's wealth, that is, from the taxes got together in the land over the river, the money needed is to

תֶּהֱוֵ֧א te.he.Ve' “let it be”

And whatever they have need of, young oxen and sheep and lambs, for burned offerings to the God of heaven, grain, salt, wine, and oil, whatever the priests in Jerusalem say is necessary, is to be given to them day by day regularly:

לֶהֱוֵ֨א le.he.Ve' “it will be”

So that they may make offerings of a sweet smell to the God of heaven, with prayers for the life of the king and of his sons.

לֶהֱוֹ֧ן le.he.Von “they will be”

Whatever is ordered by the God of heaven, let it be done completely for the house of the God of heaven; so that there may not be wrath against the kingdom of the king and his sons.

לֶֽהֱוֵא֙ le.he.Ve' “will it be”

And you, Ezra, by the wisdom of your God which is in you, are to put rulers and judges to have authority over all the people across the river who have knowledge of the laws of your God; and you are to give teaching to him who has no knowledge of them.

לֶהֱוֹ֤ן le.he.Von “they will be”

And if anyone does not keep the law of your God and the law of the king, take care that punishment is given to him, by death or by driving him from his country or by taking away his goods or by putting him in prison.

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

And Daniel said in answer, May the name of God be praised for ever and ever: for wisdom and strength are his:

לֶהֱוֵ֨א le.he.Ve' “let it be”

But there is a God in heaven, the unveiler of secrets, and he has given to King Nebuchadnezzar knowledge of what will take place in the last days. Your dreams and the visions of your head on your bed are these:

לֶהֱוֵ֖א le.he.Ve' “it will be”

As for you, O King, the thoughts which came to you on your bed were of what will come about after this: and the unveiler of secrets has made clear to you what is to come.

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

You, O King, were looking, and a great image was there. This image, which was very great, and whose glory was very bright, was placed before you: its form sent fear into the heart.

הֲוַ֙יְתָ֙ ha.Vay.ta “you were”

While you were looking at it, a stone was cut out, but not by hands, and it gave the image a blow on its feet, which were of iron and earth, and they were broken in bits.

הֲוַ֗יְתָ ha.Vay.ta “you were”

Then the iron and the earth, the brass and the silver and the gold, were smashed together, and became like the dust on the floors where grain is crushed in summer; and the wind took them away so that no sign of them was to be seen: and the stone which ga

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

And the fourth kingdom will be strong as iron: because, as all things are broken and overcome by iron, so it will have the power of crushing and smashing down all the earth.

תֶּהֱוֵ֥א te.he.Ve' “it will be”

And as you saw the feet and toes, part of potter's work and part of iron, there will be a division in the kingdom; but there will be some of the strength of iron in it, because you saw the iron mixed with the potter's earth.

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

And as the toes of the feet were in part of iron and in part of earth, so part of the kingdom will be strong and part of it will readily be broken.

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

And as you saw the iron mixed with earth, they will give their daughters to one another as wives: but they will not be united one with another, even as iron is not mixed with earth.
