H9009–/ה–ha

The same night the Lord said to him, Take ten men of your servants and an ox seven years old, and after pulling down the altar of Baal which is your father's, and cutting down the holy tree by its side,

הַהוּא֒ (הַ) ha. “<the>”הַשּׁוֹר֙ (הַ) ha. “the”הַשֵּׁנִ֖י (הַ) ha. “the”הַבַּ֙עַל֙ (הַ) ha. “<the>”הָאֲשֵׁרָ֥ה (הָ) ha. “the”

Make an altar to the Lord your God on the top of this rock, in the ordered way and take the ox and make a burned offering with the wood of the holy tree which has been cut down.

הַמָּע֛וֹז (הַ) ha. “the”הַזֶּ֖ה (הַ) ha. “<the>”הַפָּ֣ר (הַ) ha. “the”הַשֵּׁנִ֔י (הַ) ha. “<the>”הָאֲשֵׁרָ֖ה (הָ) ha. “the”

Then Gideon took ten of his servants and did as the Lord had said to him; but fearing to do it by day, because of his father's people and the men of the town, he did it by night.

הָעִ֛יר (הָ) ha. “the”

And the men of the town got up early in the morning, and they saw the altar of Baal broken down, and the holy tree which was by it cut down, and the ox offered on the altar which had been put up there.

הָעִיר֙ (הָ) ha. “the”הַבַּ֔עַל (הַ) ha. “<the>”וְהָאֲשֵׁרָ֥ה (הָ) ha. “the”הַפָּ֣ר (הַ) ha. “the”הַשֵּׁנִ֔י (הַ) ha. “<the>”הַמִּזְבֵּ֖חַ (הַ) ha. “the”הַבָּנֽוּי׃ (הַ) ha. “which”

And they said to one another, Who has done this thing? And after searching with care, they said, Gideon, the son of Joash, has done this thing.

הַדָּבָ֣ר (הַ) ha. “the”הַזֶּ֑ה (הַ) ha. “<the>”הַדָּבָ֥ר (הַ) ha. “the”הַזֶּֽה׃ (הַ) ha. “<the>”

Then the men of the town said to Joash, Make your son come out to be put to death, for pulling down the altar of Baal and cutting down the holy tree which was by it.

הָעִיר֙ (הָ) ha. “the”הַבַּ֔עַל (הַ) ha. “<the>”הָאֲשֵׁרָ֥ה (הָ) ha. “the”

But Joash said to all those who were attacking him, Will you take up the cause of Baal? will you be his saviour? Let anyone who will take up his cause be put to death while it is still morning: if he is a god, let him take up his cause himself because of

הַבֹּ֑קֶר (הַ) ha. “the”

So that day he gave him the name of Jerubbaal, saying, Let Baal take up his cause against him because his altar has been broken down.

הַה֖וּא (הַ) ha. “<the>”הַבַּ֔עַל (הַ) ha. “<the>”

Then Gideon said to God, If you are going to give Israel salvation by my hand, as you have said,

הָאֱלֹהִ֑ים (הָ) ha. “<the>”

See, I will put the wool of a sheep on the grain-floor; if there is dew on the wool only, while all the earth is dry, then I will be certain that it is your purpose to give Israel salvation by my hand as you have said.

הַצֶּ֖מֶר (הַ) ha. “<the>”הַגִּזָּ֜ה (הַ) ha. “the”הָאָ֙רֶץ֙ (הָ) ha. “the”

And it was so: for he got up early on the morning after, and twisting the wool in his hands, he got a basin full of water from the dew on the wool.

הַגִּזָּ֑ה (הַ) ha. “the”הַגִּזָּ֔ה (הַ) ha. “the”הַסֵּ֖פֶל (הַ) ha. “the”

Then Gideon said to God, Do not be moved to wrath against me if I say only this: let me make one more test with the wool; let the wool now be dry, while the earth is covered with dew.

הָ֣אֱלֹהִ֔ים (הָ֣) ha. “<the>”הַפָּ֑עַם (הַ) ha. “this”הַפַּ֙עַם֙ (הַ) ha. “this”הַגִּזָּה֙ (הַ) ha. “the”הָאָ֖רֶץ (הָ) ha. “the”

And that night God did so; for the wool was dry, and there was dew on all the earth round it.

הַה֑וּא (הַ) ha. “<the>”הַגִּזָּה֙ (הַ) ha. “the”הָאָ֖רֶץ (הָ) ha. “the”

Then Jerubbaal, that is, Gideon, and all the people with him, got up early and put up their tents by the side of the water-spring of Harod; the tents of Midian were on the north side of him, under the hill of Moreh in the valley.

הָעָם֙ (הָ) ha. “the”הַמּוֹרֶ֖ה (הַ) ha. “<the>”

And the Lord said to Gideon, So great is the number of your people, that if I give the Midianites into their hands they will be uplifted in pride over me and will say, I myself have been my saviour.

הָעָם֙ (הָ) ha. “the”

So now, let it be given out to the people that anyone who is shaking with fear is to go back from Mount Galud. So twenty-two thousand of the people went back, but there were still ten thousand.

הָעָם֙ (הָ) ha. “the”הַגִּלְעָ֑ד (הַ) ha. “<the>”הָעָ֗ם (הָ) ha. “the”

Then the Lord said to Gideon, There are still more people than is necessary; take them down to the water so that I may put them to the test for you there; then whoever I say is to go with you will go, and whoever I say is not to go will not go.

הָעָ֣ם (הָ) ha. “the”הַמַּ֔יִם (הַ) ha. “the”

So he took the people down to the water; and the Lord said to Gideon, Put on one side by themselves all those drinking up the water with their tongues like a dog; and in the same way, all those who go down on their knees to the water while drinking.

הָעָ֖ם (הָ) ha. “the”הַמָּ֑יִם (הַ) ha. “the”הַמַּ֜יִם (הַ) ha. “the”הַכֶּ֗לֶב (הַ) ha. “the”

Now the number of those who took up the water with their tongues was three hundred; all the rest of the people went down on their knees to the water.

הַֽמֲלַקְקִ֤ים (הַֽ) ha. “those”הָעָ֔ם (הָ) ha. “the”

And the Lord said to Gideon, By those three hundred who were drinking with their tongues I will give you salvation and give the Midianites into your hands; let the rest of the people go away, every man to his place.

הָאִ֤ישׁ (הָ) ha. “the”הַֽמֲלַקְקִים֙ (הַֽ) ha. “who”הָעָ֔ם (הָ) ha. “the”

So they took the vessels of the people, and their horns from their hands, and he sent them away, every man to his tent, keeping only the three hundred; and the tents of Midian were lower down in the valley.

הָעָ֨ם (הָ) ha. “the”הָאִ֖ישׁ (הָ) ha. “the”

The same night the Lord said to him, Up! go down now against their army, for I have given them into your hands.

הַה֔וּא (הַ) ha. “<the>”

But if you have fear of going down, take your servant Purah with you and go down to the tents;

הַֽמַּחֲנֶֽה׃ (הַֽ) Ha. “the”

And after hearing what they are saying, you will get strength to go down against the army. So he went down with his servant Purah to the outer line of the tents of the armed men.

הַחֲמֻשִׁ֖ים (הַ) ha. “those”

Now the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the people of the east were covering the valley like locusts; and their camels were like the sand by the seaside, without number.
