³¹ And you shall not accept ransoms for life from a murderer who is worthy of death, for he shall be surely put to death. ³² You shall not accept a ransom to excuse his fleeing to the city of refuge, so that he should again dwell in the land, until the death of the high priest. ³³ So shall you not pollute with murder the land in which you dwell; for this blood pollutes the land, and the land shall not be purged from the blood shed upon it, but by the blood of him that shed it.

³³ So shall you not pollute with murder the land in which you dwell; for this blood pollutes the land, and the land shall not be purged from the blood shed upon it, but by the blood of him that shed it.

⁹ You shall know therefore, that the Lord your God, He is God, a faithful God, who keeps covenant and mercy for them that love Him, and for those that keep His commandments to a thousand generations,

¹⁵ But you shall kill according to all your desire, and shall eat flesh according to the blessing of the Lord your God, which He has given you in every city; the unclean that is within you and the clean shall eat it on equal terms, as the doe or the stag. ¹⁶ Only you shall not eat the blood; you shall pour it out on the ground as water.

²³ Take diligent heed that you eat no blood, for blood is the life of it; the life shall not be eaten with the flesh.

³ You shall not eat any abominable thing. ⁴ These are the beasts which you shall eat; the calf of the herd, and lamb of the sheep, and kid of the goats; ⁵ the deer, the gazelle, the roe deer, the wild goat, and the mountain goat. ⁶ Every beast that divides the hoofs, and makes claws of two divisions, and that chews the cud among beasts, these you shall eat. ⁷ And these you shall not eat of them that chew the cud, and of those that divide the hoofs, and make distinct claws; the camel, and the hare, and the rabbit; because they chew the cud, and do not divide the hoof, these are unclean to you. ⁸ And as for the swine, because he divides the hoof, and makes claws of the hoof, yet he chews not the cud, he is unclean to you; you shall not eat of their flesh, you shall not touch their dead bodies. ⁹ And these you shall eat of all that are in the water, you shall eat all that have fins and scales. ¹⁰ And all that have not fins and scales you shall not eat; they are unclean to you. ¹¹ You shall eat every clean bird. ¹² And these among them you shall not eat: the eagle, the ossifrage, the sea-eagle, ¹³ the vulture, the kite and the like to it, ¹⁴ (TEXT OMITTED) ¹⁵ the sparrow, the owl, the seagull, ¹⁶ the heron, the swan, the stork, ¹⁷ the cormorant, the hawk and its like, the hoopoe, the raven, ¹⁸ the pelican, and the diver and the like to it, and the redbill and the bat. ¹⁹ All winged animals that creep are unclean to you; you shall not eat of them. ²⁰ You shall eat every clean bird. ²¹ You shall eat nothing that dies of itself; it shall be given to the sojourner in your cities and he shall eat it, or you shall sell it to a stranger, because you are a holy people unto the Lord your God. You shall not boil a lamb in his mother's milk.

²¹ You shall eat nothing that dies of itself; it shall be given to the sojourner in your cities and he shall eat it, or you shall sell it to a stranger, because you are a holy people unto the Lord your God. You shall not boil a lamb in his mother's milk.

²³ Only you shall not eat the blood; you shall pour it out on the earth as water.

⁶ And what man is there that has planted a vineyard, and not been made merry with it? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man be made merry with it.

¹ And if one should be found slain with the sword in the land, which the Lord your God gives you to inherit, having fallen in the field, and they do not know who has killed him, ² then your elders and your judges shall come forth, and shall measure the distances of the cities round about the slain man. ³ And it shall be that the city which is nearest to the slain man, the elders of that city shall take a heifer of the herd, which has not labored, and which has not borne a yoke. ⁴ And the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer into a rough valley, which has not been tilled and is not sown, and they shall slay the heifer in the valley. ⁵ And the priests, the Levites, shall come near, because the Lord God has chosen them to stand by Him, and to bless in His name, and by their word shall every controversy and every stroke be decided. ⁶ And all the elders of that city who draw near to the slain man shall wash their hands over the head of the heifer which was slain in the valley; ⁷ and they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, and our eyes have not seen it. ⁸ Be merciful to Your people Israel, O Lord, whom You have redeemed, that innocent blood may not be charged on Your people Israel; and atonement shall be provided on their behalf for the blood. ⁹ And you shall take away innocent blood from among you, if you should do that which is good and pleasing before the Lord your God.

¹⁶ Cursed is the man that dishonors his father or his mother. And all the people shall say, So be it.

¹⁸ Cursed shall be the offspring of your body, and the fruits of your land, the herds of your oxen, and the flocks of your sheep.

³⁰ You shall take a wife, and another man shall have her; you shall build a house, and you shall not dwell in it; you shall plant a vineyard, and shall not gather the grapes of it.

²⁶ There is not any such as the God of the beloved; He who rides upon the heaven is your helper, and the Magnificent One of the firmament.

¹² And now swear to me by the Lord God; since I dealt mercifully with you, so do you also deal mercifully with the house of my father:

²³ And now you are cursed. There shall not fail of you a slave, or a woodcutter, or a water carrier to me and my God.

²⁷ And in that day, Joshua made them woodcutters and water carriers to the whole congregation, and for the altar of God. Therefore the inhabitants of Gibeon became woodcutters and water carriers for the altar of God to this day, even for the place which the Lord should choose.

²⁸ And it came to pass when Israel was strong, that he put the Canaanite under forced labor, but did not utterly drive them out. ²⁹ And Ephraim did not drive out the Canaanite that dwelt in Gezer; and the Canaanite dwelt in the midst of him in Gezer, and became forced labor. ³⁰ And Zebulun did not drive out the inhabitants of Kedron, nor the inhabitants of Domana: and the Canaanite dwelt in the midst of them, and became forced labor to them.

³³ And it was reported to Saul, saying, The people have sinned against the Lord, eating with the blood. And Saul said, Roll a large stone to me here. ³⁴ And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and tell them to bring here everyone his calf, and everyone his sheep; and let them kill it on this stone and sin not against the Lord in eating with the blood. And the people brought each one that which was in his hand, and they killed them there.

¹⁹ Set up a pillar, O Israel, for the slain that died upon your high places; how the mighty have fallen! ²⁰ Tell it not in Gath, and tell it not as glad tidings in the streets of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.

⁵ For my house is not so with the Mighty One; for He has made an everlasting covenant with me, ready, guarded at every time; for all my salvation and all my desire is, that the wicked should not flourish.

⁵ Moreover you know all that Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, what he did to the two captains of the forces of Israel, to Abner the son of Ner, and to Amasa the son of Jether, that he killed them, and shed the blood of war in peace time, and put innocent blood on his belt that was about his loins, and on his sandal that was on his foot. ⁶ Therefore you shall deal with him according to your wisdom, and you shall not bring down his grey hairs in peace to the grave.

²⁸ And the report came to Joab son of Zeruiah; for Joab had turned after Adonijah, and he went not after Solomon. And Joab fled to the tabernacle of the Lord, and caught hold of the horns of the altar. ²⁹ And it was told Solomon, saying, Joab has fled to the tabernacle of the Lord, and lo! He has taken hold of the horns of the altar. And King Solomon sent to Joab, saying, What ails you, that you have fled to the altar? And Joab said, Because I was afraid of you, and fled for refuge to the Lord. And Solomon sent Benaiah son of Jehoiada, saying, Go and slay him, and bury him. ³⁰ And Benaiah son of Jehoiada came to Joab to the tabernacle of the Lord, and said to him, Thus says the king, Come forth. And Joab said, I will not come forth, for I will die here. And Benaiah son of Jehoiada returned and spoke to the king, saying, Thus has Joab spoken, and thus has he answered me. ³¹ And the king said to him, Go, and do to him as he has spoken, and kill him. And you shall bury him, and you shall remove this day the blood which he shed without cause, from me and from the house of my father. ³² And the Lord has returned upon his own head the blood of his unrighteousness, inasmuch as he attacked two men more righteous and better than himself, and slew them with the sword, and my father David knew not of their blood, even Abner the son of Ner the commander-in-chief of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether the commander-in-chief of Judah. ³³ And their blood is returned upon his head, and upon the head of his seed forever; but to David, and his seed, and his house, and his throne, may there be peace forever from the Lord. ³⁴ So Benaiah son of Jehoiada went up, and attacked him, and killed him, and buried him in his house in the wilderness.

²³ and he said: Lord God of Israel, there is no God like You in heaven above and on the earth below, keeping covenant and mercy with Your servant who walks before You with all his heart;

²⁰ so that none of the people should rule over him that was left of the Hittite and the Amorite, and the Perizzite and the Canaanite, and the Hivite and the Jebusite, and the Girgashite, who were not of the children of Israel, their descendants who had been left with him in the land, whom the children of Israel could not utterly destroy; and Solomon made them tributaries until this day. ²¹ (TEXT OMITTED)

⁷ As for all the people that were left of the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, who were not of Israel, ⁸ but were of the children of them whom the children of Israel destroyed not, that were left after them in the land, even them did Solomon make tributaries to this day.

³² And now, O our God, the powerful, the great, the mighty, and the terrible, keeping Your covenant and Your mercy, let not all this trouble seem little in Your sight which has come upon us, and our kings, and our princes, and our priests, and our prophets, and our fathers, and upon all Your people, from the days of the kings of Assyria even to this day.

²² You shall laugh at the unrighteous and the lawless, and you shall not be afraid of wild beasts. ²³ For the wild beasts of the field shall be at peace with you.

¹ And after Elihu had ceased from speaking, the Lord spoke to Job through the whirlwind and clouds, saying, ² Who is this that hides counsel from Me, and confines words in his heart, and thinks to conceal them from Me? ³ Gird your loins like a man, and I will ask you, and you shall answer Me! ⁴ Where were you when I founded the earth? Tell me now, if you have knowledge. ⁵ Who set the measures of it, if you know? Or who stretched a line upon it? ⁶ On what are its rings fastened? And who is He that laid the cornerstone upon it? ⁷ When the stars were made, all My angels praised Me with a loud voice. ⁸ And I shut up the sea with gates, when it rushed out, coming forth out its mother's womb. ⁹ And I made a cloud its clothing, and swathed it in mist. ¹⁰ And I set bounds to it, surrounding it with bars and gates. ¹¹ And I said to it, To this point you shall come, but you shall not go beyond, but your waves shall be confined within you. ¹² Or did I order the morning light in your time; and did the morning star then first see his appointed place; ¹³ to lay hold of the extremities of the earth, to cast out the ungodly out of it? ¹⁴ Or did you take the clay of the ground, and form a living creature with it, and set it with the power of speech upon the earth? ¹⁵ Have you removed light from the ungodly, and crushed the arm of the proud? ¹⁶ Or have you gone to the source of the sea, and walked in the tracks of the deep? ¹⁷ And do the gates of death open to you out of fear; and did the porters of hell quake when they saw you? ¹⁸ And have you been instructed in the breadth of the whole earth under heaven? Tell me now, what is the extent of it? ¹⁹ And in what land does the light dwell? And where is the place of darkness? ²⁰ If you could bring Me to their uttermost boundaries, and if also you know their paths; ²¹ I know then that you were born at that time, and the number of your years is great. ²² But have you gone to the treasures of snow? And have you seen the treasures of hail? ²³ And is there a store of them, for you against the time of your enemies, for the day of wars and battle? ²⁴ And from where proceeds the frost? Or where is the south wind dispersed over the whole world under heaven? ²⁵ And who prepared a course for the violent rain, and a way for the thunders; ²⁶ to rain upon the land where there is no man, the wilderness, where there is not a man in it; so as to feed the untrodden and uninhabited land, ²⁷ and cause it to send forth a crop of green herbs? ²⁸ Who is the rain's father? And who has generated the drops of dew? ²⁹ And out of whose womb comes the ice? And who has produced the frost in the sky, ³⁰ which descends like flowing water? Who has terrified the face of the ungodly? ³¹ And do you understand the band of Pleiades, and have you opened the barrier of Orion? ³² Or will you reveal Mazuroth in his season, and the evening star with his rays? Will you guide them? ³³ Do you know the changes of heaven, or the events which take place together under heaven? ³⁴ And will you call a cloud by your voice, and will it obey you with a violent shower of much rain? ³⁵ And will you send lightnings, and they shall go? And shall they say to you, What is your pleasure? ³⁶ And who has given to women skill in weaving, or knowledge of embroidery? ³⁷ And who is he that numbers the clouds in wisdom, and has bowed the heaven down to the earth? ³⁸ For it is spread out as dusty earth, and I have cemented it as one hewn stone to another. ³⁹ And will you hunt a prey for the lions?

^{1 (40:20)} But will you catch the serpent with a hook, and put a halter about his nose? ^{2 (40:21)} Or will you fasten a ring in his nostril, and bore his lip with a clasp? ^{3 (40:22)} Will he address you with a petition? Softly, with the voice of a suppliant? ^{4 (40:23)} And will he make a covenant with you? And will you take him for a perpetual servant? ^{5 (40:24)} And will you play with him as with a bird? Or bind him as a sparrow for a child? ^{6 (40:25)} And do the nations feed upon him, and the nations of the Phoenicians share him? ^{7 (40:26)} And all the ships come together would not be able to bear the mere skin of his tail, neither shall they carry his head in fishing vessels. ^{8 (40:27)} But you shall lay your hand upon him once, remembering the war that is waged by his mouth; and let it not be done anymore. ^{9 (41:0)} Have you not seen him? And have you not wondered at the things said of him? ^{10 (41:1)} Do you not fear because preparation has been made by Me? For who is there that resists Me? ^{11 (41:2)} Or who will resist Me, and stand their ground, since the whole world under heaven is Mine? ^{12 (41:3)} I will not be silent because of him: though because of his power one shall pity his antagonist. ^{13 (41:4)} Who will open the face of his garment? And who can enter within the fold of his breastplate? ^{14 (41:5)} Who will open the doors of his face? Terror is round about his teeth. ^{15 (41:6)} His inwards are as bronze plates, and the texture of his skin as a smyrite stone. ^{16 (41:7)} One part cleaves fast to another, and the air cannot come between them. ^{17 (41:8)} They will remain united each to the other: they are closely joined, and cannot be separated. ^{18 (41:9)} At his sneezing a light shines, and his eyes are as the appearance of the morning star. ^{19 (41:10)} Out of his mouth proceed as it were burning lamps, and as it were hearths of fire are cast abroad. ^{20 (41:11)} Out of his nostrils proceeds smoke of a furnace burning with fire of coals. ^{21 (41:12)} His breath is as live coals, and a flame goes out of his mouth. ^{22 (41:13)} And power is lodged in his neck, before him destruction runs. ^{23 (41:14)} The flesh also of his body is joined together: if one pours violence upon him, he shall not be moved. ^{24 (41:15)} His heart is firm as a stone, and it stands like an unyielding anvil. ^{25 (41:16)} And when he turns, he is a terror to the four-footed wild beasts which leap upon the earth. ^{26 (41:17)} If spears should come against him, men will effect nothing, neither with the spear or the breast plate. ^{27 (41:18)} For he considers iron as chaff, and brass as rotten wood. ^{28 (41:19)} The bow of brass shall not wound him, he deems a slinger as grass. ^{29 (41:20)} Mauls are counted as stubble; and he laughs to scorn the waving of the firebrand. ^{30 (41:21)} His lair is formed of sharp points, and all the gold of the sea under him is an immense quantity of clay. ^{31 (41:22)} He makes the deep boil like a bronze caldron, and he regards the sea as a pot of ointment, ^{32 (41:23)} and the lowest part of the deep as a captive: he reckons the deep as his range. ^{33 (41:24)} There is nothing upon the earth like him, formed to be sported with by My angels. ^{34 (41:25)} He beholds every high thing, and he is king of all that are in the waters.

⁴ What is man, that You are mindful of him? Or the son of man, that You visit him? ⁵ You made him a little lower than the angels, You have crowned him with glory and honor; ⁶ and You have set him over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet: ⁷ sheep and all oxen — yea, and the cattle of the field; ⁸ the birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea, the creatures passing through the paths of the sea.

¹² For He remembered them, in making inquisition for blood; He has not forgotten the supplication of the poor.

²⁰ For to me they spoke peaceably, but imagined deceits in their anger. ²¹ And they opened wide their mouth upon me; they said Aha, aha, our eyes have seen it.

⁵ O Lord, Your mercy is in the heavens; and Your truth reaches to the clouds. ⁶ Your righteousness is as the mountains of God, Your judgments are as a great deep; O Lord, You will preserve men and beasts.

¹⁵ Let those that say to me, Aha, aha, quickly receive shame for their reward.

⁴ Against You alone have I sinned, and done evil before You; that You might be justified in Your words, and might overcome when You are judged.

³ Let them that say to me, Aha, aha, be turned back and put to shame immediately.

³ I made a covenant with My chosen ones, I swore unto David My servant. ⁴ I will establish your seed forever, and build up your throne to all generations. Pause.

¹⁰ As for the days of our years, in them are seventy years; and if men should be in strength, eighty years; and the greater part of them would be labor and trouble; for weakness overtakes us, and we shall be chastened.

²⁰ You made the darkness, and it was night; in it all the wild beasts of the forest will be abroad; ²¹ even the young lions roar after their prey, and they seek meat for themselves from God. ²² The sun arises, and they shall be gathered together, and shall lie down in their dens. ²³ Man shall go forth to his work, and to his labor till evening.

⁴⁵ And He remembered His covenant, and relented according to the multitude of His mercy.

³¹ For if you should set your eyes on bowls and cups, you shall afterwards go more naked than a pestle. ³² But at last such a one stretches himself out as one smitten by a serpent, and venom is diffused through him as by a horned serpent.

³⁰ A foolish man is like a farm, and a senseless man is like a vineyard.

⁹ Whenever your friend shall reproach you, retreat backward, despise him not;

¹⁷ The eye that laughs to scorn a father, and dishonors the old age of a mother, let the ravens of the valleys pick it out, and let the young eagles devour it.

⁹ Also the abundance of the earth is for everyone. The king is dependent on the tilled field.

²⁰ For there is not a righteous man in the earth who will do good, and not sin.

⁶ Look not upon me, because I am dark, because the sun has looked unfavorably upon me: my mother's sons strove with me; they made me keeper in the vineyards; I have not kept my own vineyard.

¹⁰ And in that day there shall be a Root of Jesse, and He that shall arise to rule over the Gentiles; in Him shall the Gentiles trust, and His rest shall be glorious.

²⁴ Will the plowman plow all the day? Or will he prepare the seed beforehand, before he tills the ground? ²⁵ Does he not, when he has leveled the surface, then sow the small black poppy, or cumin, and afterward sow wheat, barley, millet, and grain in your borders? ²⁶ So you shall be chastened by the judgment of your God, and shall rejoice.

² Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah who bore you; for he was alone when I called him, and blessed him, and loved him, and multiplied him.

⁸ In a little wrath I turned away My face from you; but with everlasting mercy will I have compassion upon you, says the Lord that delivers you. ⁹ From the time of the water of Noah this is My purpose; as I swore to him at that time, saying of the earth, I will no more be angry with you, neither when you are threatened,

⁹ From the time of the water of Noah this is My purpose; as I swore to him at that time, saying of the earth, I will no more be angry with you, neither when you are threatened, ¹⁰ shall the mountains depart, nor shall your hills be removed; so neither shall My mercy fail you, nor shall the covenant of your peace be at all removed; for the Lord who is gracious to you has spoken it.

³ Give heed with your ears, and follow My ways; hearken to Me, and your soul shall live in prosperity; and I will make with you an everlasting covenant, the sure mercies of David.

²¹ Refrain for Your name's sake, destroy not the throne of Your glory. Remember, break not Your covenant with us.

³⁵ Thus says the Lord, who gives the sun for a light by day, the moon and the stars for a light by night, and makes a roaring in the sea, so that its waves roar: the Lord Almighty is His name: ³⁶ if these ordinances cease from before Me, says the Lord, then shall the family of Israel cease to be a nation before Me forever.
