H1961–הָיָה–ha.yah

Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto the shepherds; Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks?

הָיוּ֙ ha.Yu “they have been”

And they were scattered, because there is no shepherd: and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, when they were scattered.

וַתִּהְיֶ֧ינָה (תִּהְיֶ֧ינָה) tih.Yei.nah “they have become”

As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely because my flock became a prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock;

הֱיֽוֹת־ he.yot- “has become”וַתִּֽהְיֶינָה֩ (תִּֽהְיֶינָה֩) tih.yei.Nah “they have become”

Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them.

תִהְיֶ֥יןָ tih.Yei.na “they will become”

As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.

הֱיוֹת֤וֹ (הֱיוֹת֤) he.yo.T “is”

I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel.

יִהְיֶ֣ה yih.Yeh “it will be”

Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle.

תִהְיֶ֥ינָה tih.Yei.nah “they will become”

And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.

יִהְיֶ֥ה yih.Yeh “he will become”

And I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I the LORD have spoken it.

אֶהְיֶ֤ה 'eh.Yeh “I will become”

And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing.

יִֽהְיֽוּ׃ Yih.Yu “they will be”

And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be safe in their land, and shall know that I am the LORD, when I have broken the bands of their yoke, and delivered them out of the hand of those that served themselves of them.

וְהָי֥וּ (הָי֥וּ) ha.Yu “they will be”

And they shall no more be a prey to the heathen, neither shall the beast of the land devour them; but they shall dwell safely, and none shall make them afraid.

יִהְי֨וּ yih.Yu “they will be”

And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the shame of the heathen any more.

יִהְי֨וּ yih.Yu “they will be”

Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

וַיְהִ֥י (יְהִ֥י) y.Hi “it came”

I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.

תִֽהְיֶ֑ה tih.Yeh “you will be”

Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed the blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time that their iniquity had an end:

הֱי֤וֹת he.Yot “belonged”

Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the LORD was there:

תִהְיֶ֖ינָה tih.Yei.nah “they will belong”הָיָֽה׃ ha.Yah “he was”

As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea, even all of it: and they shall know that I am the LORD.

תִֽהְיֶ֤ה tih.Yeh “you will be”

Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the enemy hath said against you, Aha, even the ancient high places are ours in possession:

הָ֥יְתָה Ha.ye.tah “it has become”

Therefore prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that ye might be a possession unto the residue of the heathen, and ye are taken up in the lips of talkers, and are an infamy of the people:

לִֽהְיוֹתְכֶ֤ם (הְיוֹתְ) h.yot. “be”

Therefore, ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes, and to the cities that are forsaken, which became a prey and derision to the residue of the heathen that are round about;

הָי֤וּ ha.Yu “they have become”

Yea, I will cause men to walk upon you, even my people Israel; and they shall possess thee, and thou shalt be their inheritance, and thou shalt no more henceforth bereave them of men.

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

Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because they say unto you, Thou land devourest up men, and hast bereaved thy nations:

הָיִֽית׃ ha.Yit “you have been”

Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

וַיְהִ֥י (יְהִ֥י) y.Hi “it came”

Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their own way and by their doings: their way was before me as the uncleanness of a removed woman.

הָיְתָ֥ה ha.ye.Tah “it was”
