H1961–הָיָה–ha.yah

Son of man, what is the vine tree more than any tree, the vine-branch which is among the trees of the forest?

יִּֽהְיֶ֥ה yih.Yeh “is it”הָיָ֖ה ha.Yah “it is”

Behold, when it was whole, it was meet for no work: how much less, when the fire has devoured it, and it is burned, shall it yet be meet for any work!

בִּֽהְיוֹת֣וֹ (הְיוֹת֣) h.yo.T “was”

Again the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

וַיְהִ֥י (יְהִ֥י) y.Hi “it came”

Now when I passed by you, and looked at you, behold, your time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over you, and covered your nakedness: yes, I swore to you, and entered into a covenant with you, says the Lord Yahweh, and you became mine.

וַתִּ֥הְיִי (תִּ֥הְיִי) Tih.yi “you belonged”

But you did trust in your beauty, and played the prostitute because of your renown, and poured out your prostitution on everyone who passed by; his it was.

יֶֽהִי׃ Ye.hi “let it belong”

You took of your garments, and made for yourselves high places decked with various colors, and played the prostitute on them: [ergänzt: the like things] shall not come, neither shall it be [ergänzt: so].

יִהְיֶֽה׃ yih.Yeh “it will be”

My bread also which I gave you, fine flour, and oil, and honey, with which I fed you, you did even set it before them for a sweet savor; and [ergänzt: thus] it was, says the Lord Yahweh.

וַיֶּ֑הִי (יֶּ֑הִי) i.Ye.hi “it was”

In all your abominations and your prostitution you have not remembered the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare, and was weltering in your blood.

בִּֽהְיוֹתֵךְ֙ (הְיוֹתֵ) h.yo.te “were”הָיִֽית׃ ha.Yit “you were”

It is happen after all your wickedness, (woe, woe to you! says the Lord Yahweh),

וַיְהִ֕י (יְהִ֕י) y.Hi “it was”

in that you build your vaulted place at the head of every way, and make your lofty place in every street, and have not been as a prostitute, in that you scorn pay.

הָיִ֥ית ha.yi.t “you were”

You are different from [ergänzt: other] women in your prostitution, in that none follows you to play the prostitute; and whereas you give hire, and no hire is given to you, therefore you are different.

וַיְהִי־ (יְהִי) y.hi- “it was”וַתְּהִ֥י (תְּהִ֥י) te.Hi “you became”

Behold, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: pride, fullness of bread, and prosperous ease was in her and in her daughters; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.

הָיָ֔ה ha.Yah “it was”הָ֤יָה Ha.yah “it belonged”

For your sister Sodom was not mentioned by your mouth in the day of your pride,

הָֽיְתָה֙ ha.ye.Tah “did she become?”

that you may remember, and be confounded, and never open your mouth any more, because of your shame, when I have forgiven you all that you have done, says the Lord Yahweh.

יִֽהְיֶה־ yih.yeh- “it will belong”

The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

וַיְהִ֥י (יְהִ֥י) y.Hi “it came”

It grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature, whose branches turned toward him, and the roots of it were under him: so it became a vine, and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs.

וַיְהִי֩ (יְהִי֩) y.Hi “it became”יִֽהְי֑וּ yih.Yu “they were”וַתְּהִ֣י (תְּהִ֣י) te.Hi “it became”

There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers: and, behold, this vine did bend its roots toward him, and shot forth its branches toward him, from the beds of its plantation, that he might water it.

וַיְהִ֤י (יְהִ֤י) y.Hi “it was”

It was planted in a good soil by many waters, that it might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a goodly vine.

לִהְי֖וֹת (הְי֖וֹת) h.Yot “become”

Moreover the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

וַיְהִ֥י (יְהִ֥י) y.Hi “it came”

that the kingdom might be base, that it might not lift itself up, but that by keeping his covenant it might stand.

לִֽהְיוֹת֙ (הְיוֹת֙) h.yOt “be”

in the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it; and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar: and under it shall dwell all birds of every wing; in the shade of the branches of it shall they dwell.

וְהָיָ֖ה (הָיָ֖ה) ha.Yah “it will become”

The word of Yahweh came to me again, saying,

וַיְהִ֥י (יְהִ֥י) y.Hi “it came”

As I live, says the Lord Yahweh, you shall not have [ergänzt: occasion] any more to use this proverb in Israel.

יִֽהְיֶ֨ה yih.Yeh “it will belong”

But if a man is just, and does that which is lawful and right,

יִהְיֶ֣ה yih.Yeh “he will be”

יִהְיֶֽה׃ yih.Yeh “it will be”
