H9009–/ה–ha

So they said to the king of Assyria, The nations whom you have taken as prisoners and put in the towns of Samaria, have no knowledge of the way of the god of the land: so he has sent lions among them, causing their death, because they have no knowledge o

Then the king of Assyria gave orders, saying, Send there one of the priests whom you took away, and let him be living there and teaching the people the way of the god of the land.

מֵהַכֹּֽהֲנִים֙ (הַ) ha. “the”הָאָֽרֶץ׃ (הָ) ha. “the”

So one of the priests whom they had taken away as a prisoner from Samaria came back, and, living in Beth-el, became their teacher in the worship of the Lord.

מֵהַכֹּהֲנִ֗ים (הַ) ha. “the”

And every nation made gods for themselves, and put them in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in the towns where they were living.

הַבָּמ֗וֹת (הַ) ha. “the”הַשֹּׁ֣מְרֹנִ֔ים (הַ) ha. “the”

The Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites gave their children to be burned in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.

וְהָעַוִּ֛ים (הָ) ha. “the”וְהַסְפַרְוִ֗ים (הַ) ha “the”

So they went on worshipping the Lord, and made for themselves, from among all the people, priests for the high places, to make offerings for them in the houses of the high places.

הַבָּמֽוֹת׃ (הַ) ha. “the”

They gave worship to the Lord, but they gave honour to their gods like the nations did from whom they had been taken as prisoners.

הַגּוֹיִ֔ם (הַ) ha. “the”

So to this day they go on in their old ways, not worshipping the Lord or keeping his orders or his ways or the law and the rule which the Lord gave to the children of Jacob, to whom he gave the name Israel;

הַיּ֤וֹם (הַ) hai. “the”הַזֶּה֙ (הַ) ha. “<the>”הָרִֽאשֹׁנִ֑ים (הָ) ha. “<the>”

And the rules and the orders and the law which he put in writing for you, you are to keep and do for ever; you are to have no other gods.

הַחֻקִּ֨ים (הַ) ha. “the”הַמִּשְׁפָּטִ֜ים (הַ) ha. “the”וְהַתּוֹרָ֤ה (הַ) ha. “the”וְהַמִּצְוָה֙ (הַ) ha. “the”הַיָּמִ֑ים (הַ) hai. “the”

And you are to keep in memory the agreement which I have made with you; and you are to have no other gods.

וְהַבְּרִ֛ית (הַ) ha. “the”

But they gave no attention, but went on in their old way.

הָֽרִאשׁ֖וֹן (הָֽ) ha. “<the>”

So these nations, worshipping the Lord, still were servants to the images they had made; their children and their children's children did the same; as their fathers did, so do they, to this day.

הַגּוֹיִ֣ם (הַ) ha. “the”הָאֵ֗לֶּה (הָ) ha. “<the>”הַיּ֥וֹם (הַ) hai. “the”הַזֶּֽה׃ (הַ) ha. “<the>”

He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord as David his father had done.

הַיָּשָׁ֖ר (הַ) hai. “the”

He had the high places taken away, and the stone pillars broken to bits, and the Asherah cut down; and the brass snake which Moses had made was crushed to powder at his order, because in those days the children of Israel had offerings burned before it, a

Now in the fourth year of King Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea, son of Elah, king of Israel, Shalmaneser, king of Assyria, came up against Samaria, shutting it in with his armies.

הָֽרְבִיעִית֙ (הָֽ) ha. “<the>”הַשָּׁנָ֣ה (הַ) ha. “[was] the”הַשְּׁבִיעִ֔ית (הַ) ha. “<the>”

Now in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, Sennacherib, king of Assyria, came up against all the walled towns of Judah and took them.

הַבְּצֻר֖וֹת (הַ) ha. “<the>”

So Hezekiah gave him all the silver in the house of the Lord, and in the king's store-house.

הַכֶּ֖סֶף (הַ) ha. “the”הַנִּמְצָ֣א (הַ) ha. “which”הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃ (הַ) ha. “the”

And at that time Hezekiah had the gold from the doors of the Lord's house, and from the door-pillars plated by him, cut off and gave it to the king of Assyria.

הַהִ֗יא (הַ) ha. “<the>”הָאֹ֣מְנ֔וֹת (הָ) ha. “the”

Then the king of Assyria sent the Tartan and the Rab-saris and the Rab-shakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem, to King Hezekiah, with a strong force. And they went up and came to Jerusalem, and took up their position by the stream of the higher pool, by the hi

הַמֶּ֧לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”הַבְּרֵכָ֣ה (הַ) ha. “the”הָֽעֶלְיוֹנָ֔ה (הָֽ) ha. “<the>”

And they sent for the king, and Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, who was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder, came out to them.

הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”הַבָּ֑יִת (הַ) ha. “the”הַסֹּפֵ֔ר (הַ) ha. “the”הַמַּזְכִּֽיר׃ (הַ) ha. “the”

And the Rab-shakeh said to them, Say now to Hezekiah, These are the words of the great king, the king of Assyria: In what are you placing your hope?

הַמֶּ֤לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”הַגָּדוֹל֙ (הַ) ha. “<the>”הַבִּטָּח֛וֹן (הַ) ha. “[is] the”הַזֶּ֖ה (הַ) ha. “<the>”

See, now, you are basing your hope on that broken rod of Egypt, which will go through a man's hand if he makes use of it for a support; for so is Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to all who put their faith in him.

הַקָּנֶ֨ה (הַ) ha. “<the>”הָרָצ֤וּץ (הָ) ha. “<the>”הַזֶּה֙ (הַ) ha. “<the>”הַבֹּטְחִ֖ים (הַ) ha. “those”

And if you say to me, Our hope is in the Lord our God: is it not he, whose high places and altars Hezekiah has taken away, saying to Judah and Jerusalem that worship may only be given before this altar in Jerusalem?

הַמִּזְבֵּ֣חַ (הַ) ha. “the”הַזֶּ֔ה (הַ) ha. “<the>”

How then may you put to shame the least of my master's servants? and you have put your hope in Egypt for war-carriages and horsemen:

הַקְּטַנִּ֑ים (הַ) ha. “<the>”

And have I now come up to send destruction on this place without the Lord's authority? It was the Lord himself who said to me, Go up against this land and make it waste.
