H1961–הָיָה–ha.yah

Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and tell them, even to the shepherds, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Shouldn't the shepherds feed the sheep?

הָיוּ֙ ha.Yu “they have been”

They were scattered, because there was no shepherd; and they became food to all the animals of the field, and were scattered.

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

As I live, says the Lord Yahweh, surely because my sheep became a prey, and my sheep became food to all the animals of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my sheep, but the shepherds fed themselves, and didn't feed my sheep;

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

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

תִהְיֶ֥יןָ tih.Yei.na “they will become”

As a shepherd seeks out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered abroad, so will I seek out my sheep; and I 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 with good pasture; and on the mountains of the height of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie down in a good fold; and on fat pasture shall they feed on 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 sheep and sheep.

תִהְיֶ֥ינָה tih.Yei.nah “they will become”

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”

I, Yahweh, will be their God, and my servant David prince among them; I, Yahweh, have spoken it.

אֶהְיֶ֤ה 'eh.Yeh “I will become”

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

יִֽהְיֽוּ׃ Yih.Yu “they will be”

The tree of the field shall yield its fruit, and the earth shall yield its increase, and they shall be secure in their land; and they shall know that I am Yahweh, when I have broken the bars of their yoke, and have delivered them out of the hand of those who made slaves of them.

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

They shall no more be a prey to the nations, neither shall the animals of the earth devour them; but they shall dwell securely, and none shall make them afraid.

יִהְי֨וּ yih.Yu “they will be”

I will raise up to them a plantation for renown, and they shall be no more consumed with famine in the land, neither bear the shame of the nations any more.

יִהְי֨וּ yih.Yu “they will be”

Moreover the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

וַיְהִ֥י (יְהִ֥י) y.Hi “it came”

I will lay your cities waste, and you shall be desolate; and you shall know that I am Yahweh.

תִֽהְיֶ֑ה tih.Yeh “you will be”

Because you have had a perpetual enmity, and have given over the children of Israel to the power of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time of the iniquity of the end;

הֱי֤וֹת he.Yot “belonged”

Because you have said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas Yahweh was there:

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

As you did rejoice over the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do to you: you shall be desolate, Mount Seir, and all Edom, even all of it; and they shall know that I am Yahweh.

תִֽהְיֶ֤ה tih.Yeh “you will be”

Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because the enemy has said against you, Aha! and, The ancient high places are ours in possession;

הָ֥יְתָה Ha.ye.tah “it has become”

therefore prophesy, and say, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because, even because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that you might be a possession to the residue of the nations, and you are taken up in the lips of talkers, and the evil report of the people;

לִֽהְיוֹתְכֶ֤ם (הְיוֹתְ) h.yot. “be”

therefore, you mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord Yahweh: Thus says the Lord Yahweh to the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes and to the cities that are forsaken, which are become a prey and derision to the residue of the nations that are round about;

הָי֤וּ ha.Yu “they have become”

Yes, I will cause men to walk on you, even my people Israel; and they shall possess you, and you shall be their inheritance, and you shall no more henceforth bereave them of children.

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

Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because they say to you, You [ergänzt: land] are a devourer of men, and have been a bereaver of your nation;

הָיִֽית׃ ha.Yit “you have been”

Moreover the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

וַיְהִ֥י (יְהִ֥י) y.Hi “it came”

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

הָיְתָ֥ה ha.ye.Tah “it was”
