And Philip, opening his mouth, and beginning from this scripture, told him the glad tidings of Jesus.

and, opening his mouth, he began teaching them, saying: -

And there came, even tax-collectors, to be immersed; and they said unto him - Teacher! what, shall we, do?

Then, dismissing the multitudes, he went into the house, and his disciples came near to him, saying - Make quite plain to us the parable of the darnel of the field.

And when he was alone they who were about him with the twelve questioned him as to the parables;

And, when he entered into a house from the multitudes, his disciples began to question him as to the parable;

And they began to question him, saying - The Scribes, say, that, Elijah, must needs come, first?

When, therefore, they had broken their fast, Jesus saith unto Simon Peter - Simon, son of John! lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him - Yea, Lord! thou, knowest that I am fond of thee, he saith unto him - Be feeding my lambs.

Only take thou heed to thyself and keep thy soul diligently, so that thou forget not the things which thine own eyes have seen, and so that they go not out of thy heart, all the days of thy life, - but thou shalt make them known unto thy sons and unto thy son's sons: -

and thou shalt impress them upon thy sons, and shalt speak of them, - when thou sittest in thy house and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down and when thou risest up;

and ye shall teach them unto your children by speaking of them, - when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down and when thou risest up;

Let, the word of the Christ, dwell within you richly, - in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another, with psalms, hymns, spiritual songs, with gratitude, raising song with your hearts unto God:

and thou shalt impress them upon thy sons, and shalt speak of them, - when thou sittest in thy house and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down and when thou risest up;

And, a servant of the Lord, ought not to strive, but to be, gentle, towards all, apt in teaching, ready to endure malice, -

And may teach the sons of Israel, - all the statutes which Yahweh hath spoken unto them, by the mediation of Moses.

To the end, A later generation, might come m know, Children who should be born, Who should arise, and recount them to their children;

yet became they mockers of the messengers of God, and despisers of his words, and mimics of his prophets, - until the mounting up of the wrath of Yahweh against his people, until there was no healing.

The reverence of Yahweh, is the beginning of knowledge, Wisdom and correction, the foolish have despised.

How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and, scoffers, in scoffing, delight them? and, dullards, hate knowledge?

So the runners were passing from city to city throughout the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, even unto Zebulun, - -but they were laughing them to scorn, and mocking them.

Seeing that, thou, hast hated correction, And hast cast my words behind thee;

Them was not a word of all that Moses commanded, - which Joshua read not before all the convocation of Israel, with the women and the little ones, and the sojourner who was going on in their midst.

Come, ye children! hearken unto me, The reverence of Yahweh, will I teach you.

And Jehoash did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh all his days, - whereunto, Jehoiada the priest, instructed him:

My son, mine instruction, do not thou forget, and, my commandment, let thy heart observe;

And that, from a babe, those sacred letters, thou hast known which are able to make thee wise unto salvation, through the faith which is in Christ Jesus:

Hear, my son, the correction of thy father, and do not reject the instruction of thy mother;

For, a lamp, is the commandment, and, the instruction, a light, and, the way of life, are the reproofs of correction:

He that loveth correction, loveth knowledge, but, he that hateth reproof, is brutish.

The words of the wise, are as goads, yea, as driven nails, their well-ordered sayings, - given from one shepherd.

Then again, I, considered all the oppressive deeds which were done under the sun, - and lo! the tears of the oppressed, and they have no comforter, and, on the side of their oppressing, is power, and they have no comforter.

By the field of the sluggard, I passed, and by the vineyard of a man lacking sense; And lo! there had come up all over it - thorns, there had covered the face thereof - thistles, and, the stone fence thereof, had been thrown down. So I observed it, for myself, I applied my heart, I looked - I accepted correction: read more.
A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest:

And I gave my heart to seek and to search out, wisely, concerning all things which are done under the heavens, - the same, is the vexatious employment God hath given to the sons of men, to work toilsomely therein, I saw all the works which were done under the sun, - and lo! all, was vanity, and a feeding on wind. That which is crooked, cannot be straight, - and, that which is wanting, cannot be reckoned. read more.
Spake, I, in my heart, saying, As for me, lo! I have become great, and have gathered wisdom, beyond any one who hath been before me over Jerusalem, - and, my heart, hath seen much wisdom and knowledge: yea I have given my heart, to know wisdom, and to know madness, and folly, - I know that, even this, is a feeding on wind. For, in much wisdom, is much vexation, - and, he that increaseth knowledge, increaseth pain.

For this cause, I say unto you: Be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat or what ye shall drink, - or for your body, what ye shall put on: Is not, the life, more than, the food? And, the body, than, the raiment? Observe intently, the birds of the heaven, - that they neither sow, nor reap, nor gather into barns, and yet, your heavenly Father, feedeth, them: Are no, ye, much better than, they? But who from among you, being anxious, can add to his stature one cubit? read more.
And, about clothing, why are ye anxious? Consider well the lilies of the field, how they grow, - they toil not neither do they spin; And yet, I say unto you, not even Solomon, in all his glory, was arrayed like, one of these! Now, if the grass of the field - which to-day, is, and, to-morrow, into an oven, is cast - God thus adorneth, not much rather, you, little of faith?

A foolish son , spurneth the correction of his father, but, he that heedeth a reproof, sheweth prudence.

The reverence of Yahweh, is the beginning of knowledge, Wisdom and correction, the foolish have despised.

In the ears of a dullard, do not speak, for he will despise the good sense of thy words.

But, to the lawless one, God saith, What hast, thou, to do, to recount my statutes? Or that thou hast taken up my covenant upon thy mouth? Seeing that, thou, hast hated correction, And hast cast my words behind thee;

Yea One hath trained him to good judgment, His God, directeth him.

O God, thou hast taught me from my youthful days, And, hitherto, have I been wont to tell of thy wonders;

For, thus, spake Yahweh unto me like a firm grasp of the hand, - when he admonished me, not to walk in the way of this people, saying:

And, as for you, the anointing which ye have received from him, abideth in you, and ye have, no need, that anyone be teaching you; but, as, his anointing, is teaching you, and is, true, and is no falsehood, even just as it hath taught you, abide ye in him.

But, concerning brotherly love - no need, have ye, that we be writing unto you; for, ye yourselves, are, God-taught, to the loving of one another; -

And, thy Good Spirit, thou gavest, to instruct them, - and, thy manna, thou withheldest not from their mouth, and, water, thou gavest them, for their thirst.

See! I have taught you statutes, and regulations, as Yahweh my God commanded me, - that ye should do so, in the midst of the land whereinto ye are entering to possess it.

Hear counsel, receive correction, that thou mayest be wise in thine after-life.

Now, therefore, ye sons, hearken to me, for how happy are they who, to my ways, pay regard! Hear ye correction, and be wise, and do not neglect.

Bring, to correction, thy heart, and thine ears, to the sayings of knowledge.

It is written in the prophets, - And they shall be, all, the instructed of God: Every one who hath heard of the Father, and learned, cometh unto me.

But, as for us, - not the spirit of the world, have we received, but the Spirit which is of God, - that we might know the things which, by God, have been given in favour unto us: -

He that rebuketh a scoffer, getteth to himself contempt, and, he that reproveth a lawless man, getteth to himself his shame. Do not reprove a scoffer, lest he hate thee, Reprove a wise man, and he will love thee. Give to a wise man, and he will be wiser still, Inform a righteous man, and he will increase learning. read more.
The beginning of wisdom, is the reverence of Yahweh, and, the knowledge of the Holy, is understanding;

When the scoffer is punished, the simple, becometh wise, when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.

He that declineth correction, despiseth his own soul, but, he that heareth reproof, gaineth sense.

Poverty and contempt, are for him that neglecteth correction, but, he that regardeth reproof, shall be honoured.

Take fast hold of correction, let her not go, - keep her, for, she, is thy life.

For, a lamp, is the commandment, and, the instruction, a light, and, the way of life, are the reproofs of correction:

Every scripture, is God-breathed, and profitable - unto teaching, unto conviction, unto correction, unto the discipline that is in righteousness, - In order that, ready, may be the man, of God, unto every good work, being well-prepared.

Thus, said Yahweh unto me, Make thee, bonds and bars, and put them upon thine own neck. Then shalt thou send them unto the king of Edom and unto the king of Moab and unto the king of the sons of Ammon, and unto the king of Tyre and unto the king of Zidon, - by the hand of messengers coming into Jerusalem, unto Zedekiah king of Judah. And thou shall give them charge unto their lords saying, - Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts God of Israel, Thus shall ye say unto your lords: - read more.
I, made The earth - The man and the beast that are on the face of the earth - By my great power, And by mine outstretched arm, - And gave it to whomsoever was right in mine own eyes. Now, therefore, I, have given all these lands, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon my servant, - Moreover also, the wild beast of the field, have I given him, to serve him. Therefore shall all the nations serve him, and his son, and his sons son, - until the time even of his own land, itself arrive, when many nations and great kings, shall use him as a slave. And it shall come to pass that, the nation or kingdom which will not serve him, even Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and that will not put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, - with sword and with famine, and with pestilence, will I bring punishment upon that nation, Declareth Yahweh, until I have consumed them by his hand. Ye, therefore do not ye hearken unto your prophets, nor unto your diviners, nor unto your dreams, nor unto your users of hidden arts nor unto your mutterers of incantations, - in that, they, are speaking unto you saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon; for falsehood, are they prophesying unto you, that ye may be far removed from off your own soil, and I drive you out, and ye be destroyed But the nation that shall bring its neck into the yoke of the king of Babylon and serve him, I will let them remain in quietness upon their own soil, Declareth Yahweh, and they shall till it, and dwell therein.

If, at least, it is, him, ye have heard, and, in him, ye have been taught - even as truth is in Jesus, -

Thus have they turned unto me the back, and not the face, - Though I instructed them, betimes, instructing them, Yet have they not been hearkening, to receive correction;

Cease, my son, to hear instruction that would cause thee to wander from the sayings of knowledge.

On the way to life, is he that heedeth correction, but, he that hateth reproof, is going astray.

A well-spring of life, is discretion to its owner, but, the correction of the foolish, is folly.

A wise son, cometh of a father's correction, but, a scoffer, heareth not a rebuke.

He that loveth correction, loveth knowledge, but, he that hateth reproof, is brutish.

Son of man, Thy bread, with trembling, shalt thou eat, - And thy water, in agitation and in fear, shalt thou drink. Then shalt thou say unto the people of the land Thus saith the Lord Yahweh concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem, upon the so of Israel, Their bread, with anxious care, shall they eat, And their water in astonishment, shall they drink, - That there land may be deserted of her fulness because of the violence of all them who dwell therein: Yea the cities that are inhabited I shall be laid waste, And the land, shall become m astonish- men, - So shall ye know that, I am Yahweh.

Thou therefore Son of man Take thee one stick, and write upon it For Judah, and for the sons of Israel his companions, Then take thou another stick, and write upon it For Joseph the stick of Ephraim, and all the house of Israel his companions. Then bring them near - the one to the other - for thee into one stick,- And they shall become united in thy hand. And when the sons of thy people speak unto thee I. saying,- Wt thou not tell us what these things are to thee? read more.
speak unto them Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, Lo! I, myself, am going to take the stick of Joseph. which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel, his companions, - And I will place them upon it even upon the stick of Judah. And will make of them one stick, And they shall become one in my hand. And the sticks whereon thou shalt write shall remain in thy hand before their eyes. Therefore speak thou unto them Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, Lo! myself am going to take the sons of Israel, from among the nations whither they have gone, - And I will gather them from every side, And will bring them in upon their own so; And will make of them one nation in the land. among the mountains of Israel, And one king, shall they all have for king, - And they shall remain no longer two nations, Nor shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more.

Son of Man Behold! taking away from thee the delight of thine eyes, with a stroke,- But thou shall not lament Neither shalt thou weep, Neither shall come - thy tears: To groan, forbear, Over the dead - no mourning, shalt thou make Thy chaplet, bind thou on thee And thy sandals:, put thou on thy feet, And thou shalt not cover thy beard, And the bread of other men, shalt thou not eat. So I spake unto the people in the morning, and my wife died in the even, - and I did in the morning, as I had been commanded. read more.
Then said the people unto me: Wt thou not tell us what these things are to us, that thou shouldst be acting thus? So I said unto them: The word of Yahweh hath come unto me, saying: Say to the house of Israel thus, saith My Lord. Yahweh, Behold me! profaning my sanctuary. The pride of your strength, The delight of your eyes And the object of the tender regard of your soul,- And your sons and your daughters whom ye have left behind, by the sword, shall fall. Then shall ye do, as I have done. - The heard, shall ye not cover, And the bread of other men:, shall ye not eat; And your chaplets shall be on your heads. And your sandals on your feet, Ye shall neither lament, nor weep,- Yet shall ye pine away in your iniquities, and shall groan one to another. So shall Ezekiel become to you a wonder, According to all that he hath done, shall ye do: When it cometh, then shall ye know that I am The Lord, Yahweh. Thou, therefore Son of man, Shall it not be - In the day when I take away from them Their strength, The joy of their adorning, - The delight of their eyes And the desire of their soul, Their sons and their daughters That in that day, one that hath escaped shall come in unto thee, - to cause thee to hear it with thine own ears? That in that day, thy mouth shall be opened unto him that hath escaped, And thou shalt speak and not be dumb any longer? So shalt thou become to them a wonder, And they shall know that, I, am Yahweh.

So, the people, came up out of the Jordan, on the tenth of the first month, - and encamped in Gilgal, at the eastern end of Jericho. And, these twelve stones which they took out of the Jordan, did Joshua set up, in Gilgal. Then spake he unto the sons of Israel, saying, - When your sons shall ask, in time to come, of their fathers, saying, - What mean these stones? read more.
then shall ye let your sons know, saying, - On dry ground, came Israel over this Jordan; in that Yahweh your God dried up the waters of the Jordan, from before you, until ye had passed over, - as Yahweh your God had done unto the Red Sea, which he dried up from before us, until we had passed over: that all the peoples of the earth might know the hand of Yahweh, that, firm, it is; that they might revere Yahweh your God, all the days.

Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them, That they shall make them fringes on the corners of their garments unto their generations - and shall put upon the fringe of the corner a cord of blue: so shall they serve you as fringes, and when ye see then, then shall ye call to mind all the commandments of Yahweh, and shall do them, - and shall not spy out, after your own hearts, and after your own eyes for things, after which, ye, are ready to go unchastely away:

Thou, therefore Son of man, Prepare thee baggage for exe, and exe thyself, by day, before their eyes, - so shalt thou exe thyself out of thy place unto another place before their eyes, peradventure they will consider - though a perverse house, they are. Therefore shalt thou take forth thy baggage as baggage for exe, by day before their eyes, - and thou thyself, shalt go forth in the evening, before their eyes, like them who go forth to exe. Before their eyes, break thou forth by thyself through the wall, - and carry forth through it. read more.
Before their eyes, Upon the shoulder, shalt thou lift it. In thick darkness, take it forth, Thy face, shalt thou cover so that thou see not the land; For a sign, have I appointed thee to the house of Israel. And I did so, just as I was commanded, My baggage, took I forth as baggage for exe by day, and in the evening, I brake forth by myself through the wall, by force: in the twilight, I took it forth - on to my shoulder, I lifted it, before their eyes. Then came the word of Yahweh unto me in the morning, saying: Son of man, Have not the house of Israel the perverse house, said unto thee, - What art thou doing? Say unto them, Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, - For the Bearer, is this burden, in Jerusalem, and for all the house of Israel such as are in their midst. Say, I, am your sign: As I have done, so. shall it be done to them, Into exile - into captivity, shall they go. Yea, the Bearer, who is in their midst, Upon his shoulder, shall lift it. In thick darkness, shall he go forth, Through the wall, shall they break to hear forth through it, - His face, shall he cover, to the end that his own eye may not see the land. Then will I spread my net ever him, and he shall be taken in my snare; And I will take him to Babylon. in the land of the Chaldeans, The which, indeed, he shall not see. And yet there, shall he die! And all who are round about him to hell him. and all his tops, will scatter to every wind, - and a sword, will I make bare after them. So shall they know that, I, am Yahweh By my dispersing them among the nations, And scattering them throughout the lands. Yet will I leave remaining of them, men easy counted, from the sword from a the famine and from the pestilence, - that they may recount all their abominations among the nations whither they have come, So shall they know that, I, am Yahweh.

Thus said Yahweh, Go and buy a potters earthen bottle, - and take of the elders of the people, and of the elders of the priests; Then shalt thou go forth into the valley of Ben-hinnom, which is at the opening of the gate of potsherds; and proclaim there the words which I shall speak unto thee; and shalt say, - Hear ye the word of Yahweh, O kings of Judah And inhabitants of Jerusalem, - Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts - God of Israel Behold me! bringing in calamity upon this place, which shall cause the ears of every one that heareth it, to tingle: read more.
Because they have forsaken me, And have treated this as a foreign place, And have burned incense therein to other gods, which neither they, nor their fathers nor the kings of Judah, have known; And have filled this place with the blood of innocents; And have built the high places of Baal for burning up their sons in the fire as ascending-sacrifices to Baal, - Which I commanded not, Nor spake, Neither came it up on my heart, Therefore, lo! days coming, Declareth Yahweh, When this place shall be called no longer The Topheth, or The Valley of Ben-hinnom, - but - The Valley of Slaughter; And I will pour out the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place, And I will cause them to fall by the sword, before their enemies, and by the hand of them who seek their life, - And I will give their dead bodies for food, to the bird of the heavens and to the beast of the earth; And I will make this city a desolation and a hissing, - every one that passeth by it, shall be astonished and hiss over all her wounds; And I will suffer them to eat the flesh of their sons, and the flesh of their daughters, yea every one - the flesh of his friend, will they eat, - in the siege and in the straitness, wherewith, their enemies, and they who seek their lives, will straiten them. Then shalt thou break the bottle, before the eyes of the men who are walking with thee; and shalt say unto them - Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts - Thus and thus, will I break this people, and this city, As one breaketh the vessel of a potter, which cannot be made whole any more, - And in Topheth, shall they bury, for want of place to bury. Thus, will I do to this place Declareth Yahweh, And to the inhabitants thereof, - Even making this city like Topheth:

Thus, said Yahweh unto me, - Go and buy for thyself a linen girdle, and put upon thy loins, - but in water, shalt thou not place it. So I bought a girdle according to the word of Yahweh, - and put upon my loins. Then came the word of Yahweh unto me second time saying: read more.
Take the girdle which thou hast bought which is upon thy loins, - and arise go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the cliff. So I went, and hid it, by the Euphrates, as Yahweh had commanded me. And it came to pass, at the end of many days, - that Yahweh said unto me, - Arise go to the Euphrates, and take from thence the girdle, which I commanded thee to hide there. So I went to the Euphrates, and digged, and took the girdle out of the place where I had hidden it, - and lo! the girdle was spoiled, it was good for nothing, s Then came the word of Yahweh unto me saying: Thus, saith Yahweh, - After this manner, will I spoil the pride of Judah and the great pride of Jerusalem. This wicked people who are refusing to hear my words, who are walking in the stubbornness of their heart, and have gone after other gods, to serve them and to bow down to them, yea let them be like this girdle, which is good for nothing. For as a girdle cleaveth unto the loins of a man, so caused I to cleave unto me - the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah Declareth Yahweh, to become mine - For a people, and For a name, and For a praise and For an adorning, - but they hearkened not.

By the field of the sluggard, I passed, and by the vineyard of a man lacking sense; And lo! there had come up all over it - thorns, there had covered the face thereof - thistles, and, the stone fence thereof, had been thrown down.

And the word of Yahweh came unto me. in the ninth year in the tenth month, on the tenth of the month, saying: Son of man. Write thee the name of the day, this selfsame day, - the king of Babylon cast himself against Jerusalem, on this selfsame day. Put thou forth therefore, against the perverse house a parable, and say unto them Thus saith My Lord, Yahweh: Sot on the caldron set it on, Moreover also pour into it water: read more.
Gather the pieces thereof into it, Every good piece thigh and shoulder, With the choice of the bones, fill it: Take of the choice of the rock, Moreover also pe of bones place under it,- Bo the pieces thereof, Yea let the bones of it seethe in the midst thereof. Wherefore, Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, Woe! city of bloodshed. The caldron whose scum is in it, and whose scum, hath not gone out of it: Piece by piece, bring it out, There hath fallen thereon no lot. For, her own blood, hath come to be in her midst, Upon the smooth face of the cliff, hath she set it,- She hath not poured it out on the earth, that she might cover it with dust. To bring up indignation to execute an avenging, have I set her blood upon the smooth face of the cliff, - that it may not be covered. Wherefore Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, Woe! city of bloodshed, - Even I myself, will make large the pe. Heap on the wood Kindle the fire, Consume the flesh, Yea season with spice, And let the bones be scorched. Then set it upon the live coals thereof empty, - that the copper of it may be scorched and burn. So that the impurity thereof may be annihilated within it The scum thereof be consumed, With toils, hath she wearied herself, - Since her abundant scum will not go out of her, into the fire, with her scum! In thine uncleanness, is lewdness; be- cause I purified thee and thou wast not purified, from thine uncleanness, thou shalt not be purified any more, until I have let mine indignation rest upon thee. I Yahweh, have spoken It cometh and I will perform I will not let alone, neither will I shield, Nor will I repent,- According to thy ways and according to thy doings, have they judged thee, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.

At that time, spake Yahweh, through Isaiah son of Amoz, saying, Go, and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, And thy sandal, draw thou off from thy foot, - And he did so, walking disrobed and barefoot. Then said Yahweh, - As my servant Isaiah, hath walked, disrobed and barefoot three years as a sign and a wonder against Egypt and against Ethiopia,

Thou, therefore, take thee wheat and barley and peas and lentils and millet and spelt, and put them in one vessel, and make them ready for thee as bread, - during the number of days which thou art lying on thy side. a hundred and ninety days, shalt thou eat it; and thy food which thou shalt eat shall be by weight twenty shekels a day, - from time to time, shalt thou eat it; and water by measure, shalt thou drink the sixth part of a hin,-from time to time shalt thou drink; read more.
and as a barley cake, shalt thou eat it, - and the same with dung proceeding from man, shalt thou bake, before their eyes. Then said Yahweh, In like manner, shall the sons of Israel eat their bread defiled, - among the nations whither I will drive them. Then said, I, Ah! My Lord. Yahweh, lo! my person, hath not been defiled: neither of what hath died of itself nor of what hath been torn in pieces: have I eaten, from my youthful days even unto now, neither hath come into my mouth the flesh of a foul thing. So then he said unto me, See I have granted thee cows dung for mans dung, - and thou shalt prepare thy bread thereupon. And he said unto me, Son of man Behold me! breaking the staff of bread in Jerusalem, So shall they eat bread by weight and with anxious care, And water by measure, and in astonishment, shall they drink: that they may lack bread and water and be astonished one with another, and pine away in their punishment.

Thou, therefore O son of man sigh, - In the sharp pain of thy loins and in bitterness, shalt thou sigh before their eyes. And it shall come to pass when they shall say unto thee, Wherefore art thou sighing? that thou shalt say, For the report because it cometh, When every heart shall melt. And all hands be unnerved And every spirit shall become faint. And all knees shall be weak as water, Lo! it cometh and shall be brought to pass, Saith My Lord, Yahweh.

Thou, therefore lie thou on thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it, - during the number of the days which thou shalt lie thereon, shalt thou bear their punishment. I therefore have appointed thee the years of their punishment, by the number of days a hundred and ninety days, - so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel. And when thou hast ended these, then shalt thou lie, on thy right side. a second time, and shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah, - forty days, one day for each year, have I appointed thee. read more.
Thus then unto the siege of Jerusalem, shalt thou direct thy face, with thine arm made bare, - so shalt thou prophesy against it. And lo! I have laid upon thee-bands, - and thou shalt not turn thee from thy one side to thine other, until thou have ended the days of thy siege.

Thou therefore O son of man Take thee a tablet, and lay it before thee, - and pourtray thereon a city, even Jerusalem. Then shalt thou lay siege against it And bud up against it a siege-wall And cast up against it, a mound, - And set against it camps, And place against it battering-rams, round about. Thou, therefore take time a pan of iron, and set it for a wall of iron, between thee and the city, - then shalt thou direct thy face against it and it shall come into siege and thou shalt lay siege to it, a sign, shall it be to the house of Israel.

And Moses said - This, is the thing which Yahweh hath commanded, Fill an omer therefrom as a thing to be preserved to your generations, - that they may see the bread wherewith I fed you in the desert, when I brought you forth out of the land of Egypt.
