: 01 . In the third <7969 shalowsh > year <8141 shaneh > of the reign <4438 malkuwth > of Jehoiakim <3079 Y@howyaqiym > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > came <0935 bow> > Nebuchadnezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar > king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > unto Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > , and besieged <6696 tsuwr > it .
: 02 And the Lord <0136 >Adonay > gave <5414 nathan > Jehoiakim <3079 Y@howyaqiym > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > into his hand <3027 yad > , with part <7117 q@tsath > of the vessels <3627 k@liy > of the house <1004 bayith > of God <0430 >elohiym > : which he carried <0935 bow> > into the land <0776 >erets > of Shinar <8152 Shin<ar > to the house <1004 bayith > of his god <0430 >elohiym > ; and he brought <0935 bow> > the vessels <3627 k@liy > into the treasure <0214 >owtsar > house <1004 bayith > of his god <0430 >elohiym > .
: 03 And the king <4428 melek > spake <0559 >amar > unto Ashpenaz <0828 >Ashp@naz > the master <7227 rab > of his eunuchs <5631 cariyc > , that he should bring <0935 bow> > [ certain ] of the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > , and of the king s <4410 m@luwkah > seed <2233 zera< > , and of the princes <6579 partam > ;
: 04 Children <3206 yeled > in whom [ was ] no <0369 >ayin > blemish <3971 m>uwm > , but well <2896 towb > favoured <4758 mar>eh > , and skilful <7919 sakal > in all <3605 kol > wisdom <2451 chokmah > , and cunning <3045 yada< > in knowledge <1847 da<ath > , and understanding <0995 biyn > science <4093 madda< > , and such as [ had ] ability <3581 koach > in them to stand <5975 <amad > in the king s <4428 melek > palace <1964 heykal > , and whom they might teach <3925 lamad > the learning <5612 cepher > and the tongue <3956 lashown > of the Chaldeans <3779 Kasday > .
: 05 And the king <4428 melek > appointed <4487 manah > them a daily <3117 yowm > provision <1697 dabar > of the king s <4428 melek > meat <6598 pathbag > , and of the wine <3196 yayin > which he drank <4960 mishteh > : so nourishing <1431 gadal > them three <7969 shalowsh > years <8141 shaneh > , that at the end <7117 q@tsath > thereof they might stand <5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > the king <4428 melek > .
: 06 Now among these <1992 hem > were of the children <1121 ben > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > , Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > , Hananiah <2608 Chananyah > , Mishael <4332 Miysha>el > , and Azariah <5838 <Azaryah > :
: 07 Unto whom <1992 hem > the prince <8269 sar > of the eunuchs <5631 cariyc > gave <7760 suwm > names <8034 shem > : for he gave <7760 suwm > unto Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > [ the name <8034 shem > ] of Belteshazzar <1095 Belt@sha>tstsar > ; and to Hananiah <2608 Chananyah > , of Shadrach <7714 Shadrak > ; and to Mishael <4332 Miysha>el > , of Meshach <4335 Meyshak > ; and to Azariah <5838 <Azaryah > , of Abednego <5664 <Abed N@gow > .
: 08 . But Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > purposed <7760 suwm > in his heart <3820 leb > that he would not defile <1351 ga>al > himself with the portion <6598 pathbag > of the king s <4428 melek > meat <6598 pathbag > , nor with the wine <3196 yayin > which he drank <4960 mishteh > : therefore he requested <1245 baqash > of the prince <8269 sar > of the eunuchs <5631 cariyc > that he might not defile <1351 ga>al > himself .
: 09 Now God <0430 >elohiym > had brought <5414 nathan > Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > into favour <2617 checed > and tender love with the prince <8269 sar > of the eunuchs <5631 cariyc > .
: 10 And the prince <8269 sar > of the eunuchs <5631 cariyc > said <0559 >amar > unto Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > , I fear <3373 yare> > my lord <0113 >adown > the king <4428 melek > , who <0834 >aher > hath appointed <4487 manah > your meat <3978 ma>akal > and your drink <4960 mishteh > : for why <4100 mah > should he see <7200 ra>ah > your faces <6440 paniym > worse <2196 za<aph > liking than <4480 min > the children <3206 yeled > which <0834 >aher > [ are ] of your sort <1524 giyl > ? then shall ye make [ me ] endanger <2325 chuwb > my head <7218 ro>sh > to the king <4428 melek > .
: 11 Then said <0559 >amar > Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > to Melzar <4453 meltsar > , whom <0834 >aher > the prince <8269 sar > of the eunuchs <5631 cariyc > had set <4487 manah > over <5921 <al > Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > , Hananiah <2608 Chananyah > , Mishael <4332 Miysha>el > , and Azariah <5838 <Azaryah > ,
: 12 Prove <5254 nacah > thy servants <5650 <ebed > , I beseech <4994 na> > thee , ten <6235 <eser > days <3117 yowm > ; and let them give <5414 nathan > us pulse <2235 zeroa< > to eat <0398 >akal > , and water <4325 mayim > to drink <8354 shathah > .
: 13 Then let our countenances <4758 mar>eh > be looked <7200 ra>ah > upon before <6440 paniym > thee , and the countenance <4758 mar>eh > of the children <3206 yeled > that eat <0398 >akal > of the portion <6598 pathbag > of the king s <4428 melek > meat <6598 pathbag > : and as thou seest <7200 ra>ah > , deal <6213 <asah > with thy servants <5650 <ebed > .
: 14 So he consented <8085 shama< > to them in this <2088 zeh > matter <1697 dabar > , and proved <5254 nacah > them ten <6235 <eser > days <3117 yowm > .
: 15 And at the end <7117 q@tsath > of ten <6235 <eser > days <3117 yowm > their countenances <4758 mar>eh > appeared <7200 ra>ah > fairer <2896 towb > and fatter <1277 bariy> > in flesh <1320 basar > than <4480 min > all <3605 kol > the children <3206 yeled > which did eat <0398 >akal > the portion <6598 pathbag > of the king s <4428 melek > meat <6598 pathbag > .
: 16 Thus Melzar <4453 meltsar > took <5375 nasa> > away the portion <6598 pathbag > of their meat <6598 pathbag > , and the wine <3196 yayin > that they should drink <4960 mishteh > ; and gave <5414 nathan > them pulse <2235 zeroa< > .
: 17 . As for these <0428 >el - leh > four <0702 >arba< > children <3206 yeled > , God <0430 >elohiym > gave <5414 nathan > them knowledge <4093 madda< > and skill <7919 sakal > in all <3605 kol > learning <5612 cepher > and wisdom <2451 chokmah > : and Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > had understanding <0995 biyn > in all <3605 kol > visions <2377 chazown > and dreams <2472 chalowm > .
: 18 Now at the end <7117 q@tsath > of the days <3117 yowm > that the king <4428 melek > had said <0559 >amar > he should bring <0935 bow> > them in , then the prince <8269 sar > of the eunuchs <5631 cariyc > brought <0935 bow> > them in before <6440 paniym > Nebuchadnezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar > .
: 19 And the king <4428 melek > communed <1696 dabar > with them ; and among them all <3605 kol > was found <4672 matsa> > none <3808 lo> > like Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > , Hananiah <2608 Chananyah > , Mishael <4332 Miysha>el > , and Azariah <5838 <Azaryah > : therefore stood <5975 <amad > they before <6440 paniym > the king <4428 melek > .
: 20 And in all <3605 kol > matters <1697 dabar > of wisdom <2451 chokmah > [ and ] understanding <0998 biynah > , that the king <4428 melek > enquired <1245 baqash > of them , he found <4672 matsa> > them ten <6235 <eser > times better <3027 yad > than <5921 <al > all <3605 kol > the magicians <2748 chartom > [ and ] astrologers <0825 >ashshaph > that [ were ] in all <3605 kol > his realm <4438 malkuwth > .
: 21 And Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > continued <1961 hayah > [ even ] unto the first <0259 >echad > year <8141 shaneh > of king <4428 melek > Cyrus <3566 Kowresh > .
: Daniel 2
: 01 . And in the second <8147 sh@nayim > year <8141 shaneh > of the reign <4438 malkuwth > of Nebuchadnezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar > Nebuchadnezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar > dreamed <2492 chalam > dreams <2472 chalowm > , wherewith his spirit <7307 ruwach > was troubled <6470 pa<am > , and his sleep <8142 shehah > brake <1961 hayah > from him .
: 02 Then the king <4428 melek > commanded <0559 >amar > to call <7121 qara> > the magicians <2748 chartom > , and the astrologers <0825 >ashshaph > , and the sorcerers <3784 kashaph > , and the Chaldeans <3779 Kasday > , for to shew <5046 nagad > the king <4428 melek > his dreams <2472 chalowm > . So they came <0935 bow> > and stood <5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > the king <4428 melek > .
: 03 And the king <4428 melek > said <0559 >amar > unto them , I have dreamed <2492 chalam > a dream <2472 chalowm > , and my spirit <7307 ruwach > was troubled <6470 pa<am > to know <3045 yada< > the dream <2472 chalowm > .
: 04 Then spake <1696 dabar > the Chaldeans <3779 Kasday > to the king <4428 melek > in Syriack <0762 >Aramiyth > , O king <4430 melek > , live <2418 chaya> > for ever <5957 <alam > : tell <0560 >amar > thy servants <5649 <abad > the dream <2493 chelem > , and we will shew <2324 chava> > the interpretation <6591 p@shar > .
: 05 The king <4430 melek > answered <6032 <anah > and said <0560 >amar > to the Chaldeans <3779 Kasday > , The thing <4406 millah > is gone <0230 >azad > from me : if <2006 hen > ye will not make known <3046 y@da< > unto me the dream <2493 chelem > , with the interpretation <6591 p@shar > thereof , ye shall be cut <5648 <abad > in pieces <1917 haddam > , and your houses <1005 bayith > shall be made <7761 suwm > a dunghill <5122 n@valuw > .
: 06 But if <2006 hen > ye shew <2324 chava> > the dream <2493 chelem > , and the interpretation <6591 p@shar > thereof , ye shall receive <6902 q@bal > of me gifts <4978 matt@na> > and rewards <5023 n@bizbah > and great <7690 saggiy> > honour <3367 y@qar > : therefore <2006 hen > shew <2324 chava> > me the dream <2493 chelem > , and the interpretation <6591 p@shar > thereof .
: 07 They answered <6032 <anah > again <8579 tinyanuwth > and said <0560 >amar > , Let the king <4430 melek > tell <0560 >amar > his servants <5649 <abad > the dream <2493 chelem > , and we will shew <2324 chava> > the interpretation <6591 p@shar > of it .
: 08 The king <4430 melek > answered <6032 <anah > and said <0560 >amar > , I know <3046 y@da< > of certainty <3330 yatstsiyb > that ye would gain <2084 z@ban > the time <5732 <iddan > , because ye see <2370 chaza> > the thing <4406 millah > is gone <0230 >azad > from me .
: 09 But if <2006 hen > ye will not make known <3046 y@da< > unto me the dream <2493 chelem > , [ there is but ] one <2298 chad > decree <1882 dath > for you : for ye have prepared <2164 z@man > lying <3538 k@dab > and corrupt <7844 sh@chath > words <4406 millah > to speak <0560 >amar > before <6925 qodam > me , till <5704 <ad > the time <5732 <iddan > be changed <8133 sh@na> > : therefore <2006 hen > tell <0560 >amar > me the dream <2493 chelem > , and I shall know <3046 y@da< > that ye can shew <2324 chava> > me the interpretation <6591 p@shar > thereof .
: 10 The Chaldeans <3779 Kasday > answered <6032 <anah > before <6925 qodam > the king <4430 melek > , and said <0560 >amar > , There is not a man <0606 >enash > upon the earth <3007 yabbesheth > that can <3202 y@kel > shew <2324 chava> > the king s <4430 melek > matter <4406 millah > : therefore [ there is ] no king <4430 melek > , lord <7229 rab > , nor ruler <7990 shalliyt > , [ that ] asked <7593 sh@>el > such <1836 den > things at any <3606 kol > magician <2749 chartom > , or astrologer <0826 >ashshaph > , or Chaldean <3777 Kesed > .
: 11 And [ it is ] a rare <3358 yaqqiyr > thing <4406 millah > that the king<4430 melek > requireth <7593 sh@>el > , and there is none <3809 la> > other <0321 >ochoran > that can shew <2324 chava> > it before <6925 qodam > the king <4430 melek > , except <3861 lawhen > the gods <0426 >elahh > , whose <1768 diy > dwelling <4070 m@dowr > is not with flesh <1321 b@sar > .
: 12 For this <1836 den > cause the king <4430 melek > was angry <1149 b@nac > and very <7690 saggiy> > furious <7108 q@tsaph > , and commanded <0560 >amar > to destroy <7> all <3606 kol > the wise <2445 chakkiym > [ men ] of Babylon <0895 Babel > .
: 13 And the decree <1882 dath > went <5312 n@phaq > forth <5312 n@phaq > that the wise <2445 chakkiym > [ men ] should be slain <6992 q@tal > ; and they sought <1158 ba<ah > Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > and his fellows <2269 chabar > to be slain <6992 q@tal > .
: 14 . Then <0116 >edayin > Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > answered <8421 tuwb > with counsel <5843 <eta> > and wisdom <2942 t@<em > to Arioch <0746 >Aryowk > the captain <7229 rab > of the king s <4430 melek > guard <2877 tabbach > , which <1768 diy > was gone <5312 n@phaq > forth <5312 n@phaq > to slay <6992 q@tal > the wise <2445 chakkiym > [ men ] of Babylon <0895 Babel > :
: 15 He answered <6032 <anah > and said <0560 >amar > to Arioch <0746 >Aryowk > the king s <4430 melek > captain <7990 shalliyt > , Why [ is ] the decree <1882 dath > [ so ] hasty <2685 chatsaph > from the king <4430 melek > ? Then <0116 >edayin > Arioch <0746 >Aryowk > made the thing <4406 millah > known <3046 y@da< > to Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > .
: 16 Then Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > went <5954 <alal > in , and desired <1156 b@<a> > of the king <4430 melek > that he would give <5415 n@than > him time <2166 z@man > , and that he would shew <2324 chava> > the king <4430 melek > the interpretation <6591 p@shar > .
: 17 Then <0116 >edayin > Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > went <0236 >azal > to his house <1005 bayith > , and made the thing <4406 millah > known <3046 y@da< > to Hananiah <2608 Chananyah > , Mishael <4332 Miysha>el > , and Azariah <5839 <Azaryah > , his companions <2269 chabar > :
: 18 That they would desire <1156 b@<a> > mercies <7359 r@chem > of the God <0426 >elahh > of heaven <8065 shamayin > concerning <5922 <al > this <1836 den > secret <7328 raz > ; that Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > and his fellows <2269 chabar > should not perish <7> with the rest <7606 sh@>ar > of the wise <2445 chakkiym > [ men ] of Babylon <0895 Babel > .
: 19 Then <0116 >edayin > was the secret <7328 raz > revealed <1541 g@lah > unto Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > in a night <3916 leyl@ya> > vision <2376 chezev > . Then <0116 >edayin > Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > blessed <1289 b@rak > the God <0426 >elahh > of heaven <8065 shamayin > .
: 20 Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > answered <6032 <anah > and said <0560 >amar > , Blessed <1289 b@rak > be the name <8036 shum > of God <0426 >elahh > for ever <5957 <alam > and ever <5957 <alam > : for wisdom <2452 chokmah > and might <1370 g@buwrah > are his :
: 21 And he changeth <8133 sh@na> > the times <5732 <iddan > and the seasons <2166 z@man > : he removeth <5709 <ada> > kings <4430 melek > , and setteth <6966 quwm > up kings <4430 melek > : he giveth <3052 y@hab > wisdom <2452 chokmah > unto the wise <2445 chakkiym > , and knowledge <0998 biynah > to them that know <3046 y@da< > understanding <0999 biynah > :
: 22 He revealeth <1541 g@lah > the deep <5994 <amiyq > and secret <5642 c@thar > things : he knoweth <3046 y@da< > what <4101 mah > [ is ] in the darkness <2816 chashowk > , and the light <5094 n@hiyr > dwelleth <8271 sh@re> > with him .
: 23 I thank <3029 y@da> > thee , and praise <7624 sh@bach > thee , O thou God <0426 >elahh > of my fathers <2> , who <1768 diy > hast given <3052 y@hab > me wisdom <2452 chokmah > and might <1370 g@buwrah > , and hast made known <3046 y@da< > unto me now <3705 k@<an > what <1768 diy > we desired <1156 b@<a> > of thee : for thou hast [ now <3705 k@<an > ] made known <3046 y@da< > unto us the king s <4430 melek > matter <4406 millah > .
: 24 . Therefore Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > went <5954 <alal > in unto Arioch <0746 >Aryowk > , whom <1768 diy > the king <4430 melek > had ordained <4483 m@na> > to destroy <7> the wise <2445 chakkiym > [ men ] of Babylon <0895 Babel > : he went <0236 >azal > and said <0560 >amar > thus <3652 ken > unto him ; Destroy <7> not the wise <2445 chakkiym > [ men ] of Babylon <0895 Babel > : bring <5924 <ella> > me in before <6925 qodam > the king <4430 melek > , and I will shew <2324 chava> > unto the king <4430 melek > the interpretation <6591 p@shar > .
: 25 Then <0116 >edayin > Arioch <0746 >Aryowk > brought <5954 <alal > in Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > before <6925 qodam > the king <4430 melek > in haste <0927 b@hal > , and said <0560 >amar > thus <3652 ken > unto him , I have found <4672 matsa> > a man <1400 g@bar > of the captives of Judah <3061 Y@huwd > , that will make known <3046 y@da< > unto the king <4430 melek > the interpretation <6591 p@shar > .
: 26 The king <4430 melek > answered <6032 <anah > and said <0560 >amar > to Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > , whose <1768 diy > name <8036 shum > [ was ] Belteshazzar <1096 Belt@sha>tstsar > , Art <0383 >iythay > thou able <3546 k@hal > to make known <3046 y@da< > unto me the dream <2493 chelem > which <1768 diy > I have seen <2370 chaza> > , and the interpretation <6591 p@shar > thereof ?
: 27 Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > answered <6032 <anah > in the presence <6925 qodam > of the king <4430 melek > , and said <0560 >amar > , The secret <7328 raz > which <1768 diy > the king <4430 melek > hath demanded <7593 sh@>el > cannot the wise <2445 chakkiym > [ men ] , the astrologers <0826 >ashshaph > , the magicians <2749 chartom > , the soothsayers <1505 g@zar > , shew <2324 chava> > unto the king <4430 melek > ;
: 28 But there is a God <0426 >elahh > in heaven <8065 shamayin > that revealeth <1541 g@lah > secrets <7328 raz > , and maketh known <3046 y@da< > to the king <4430 melek > Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar > what <4101 mah > shall be in the latter <0320 >achariyth > days <3118 yowm > . Thy dream <2493 chelem > , and the visions <2376 chezev > of thy head <7217 re>sh > upon thy bed <4903 mishkab > , are these <1836 den > ;
: 29 As for thee , O king <4430 melek > , thy thoughts <7476 ra<yown > came <5559 c@liq > [ into thy mind ] upon thy bed <4903 mishkab > , what <4101 mah > should come <1934 hava> > to pass hereafter : and he that revealeth <1541 g@lah > secrets <7328 raz > maketh known <3046 y@da< > to thee what <4101 mah > shall come <1934 hava> > to pass .
: 30 But as for me , this <1836 den > secret <7328 raz > is not revealed <1541 g@lah > to me for [ any ] wisdom <2452 chokmah > that I have <0383 >iythay > more <4481 min > than <4481 min > any <3606 kol > living <2417 chay > , but for [ their ] sakes <1701 dibrah > that shall make known <3046 y@da< > the interpretation <6591 p@shar > to the king <4430 melek > , and that thou mightest know <3046 y@da< > the thoughts <7476 ra<yown > of thy heart <3825 l@bab > .

Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar > the king <4430 melek > , unto all <3606 kol > people <5972 <am > , nations <0524 >ummah > , and languages <3961 lishshan > , that dwell <1753 duwr > in all <3606 kol > the earth <0772 >ara< > ; Peace <8001 sh@lam > be multiplied <7680 s@ga> > unto you .

: 06 Therefore made <7761 suwm > I a decree <2942 t@<em > to bring <5924 <ella> > in all <3606 kol > the wise <2445 chakkiym > [ men ] of Babylon <0895 Babel > before <6925 qodam > me , that they might make known <3046 y@da< > unto me the interpretation <6591 p@shar > of the dream <2493 chelem > .
: 07 Then <0116 >edayin > came <5954 <alal > in the magicians <2749 chartom > , the astrologers <0826 >ashshaph > , the Chaldeans <3779 Kasday > , and the soothsayers <1505 g@zar > : and I told <0560 >amar > the dream <2493 chelem > before <6925 qodam > them ; but they did not make known <3046 y@da< > unto me the interpretation <6591 p@shar > thereof .
: 08 But at <5706 <ad > the last <0318 >ochoreyn > Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > came <5954 <alal > in before me , whose <1768 diy > name <8036 shum > [ was ] Belteshazzar <1096 Belt@sha>tstsar > , according to the name <8036 shum > of my god <0426 >elahh > , and in whom <1768 diy > [ is ] the spirit <7308 ruwach > of the holy <6922 qaddiysh > gods <0426 >elahh > : and before <6925 qodam > him I told <0560 >amar > the dream <2493 chelem > , [ saying ] ,
: 09 O Belteshazzar <1096 Belt@sha>tstsar > , master <0729 >araz > of the magicians <2749 chartom > , because <1768 diy > I know <3046 y@da< > that the spirit <7308 ruwach > of the holy <6922 qaddiysh > gods <0426 >elahh > [ is ] in thee , and no secret <7328 raz > troubleth <0598 >anac > thee , tell <0560 >amar > me the visions <2376 chezev > of my dream <2493 chelem > that I have seen <2370 chaza> > , and the interpretation <6591 p@shar > thereof .
: 10 Thus [ were ] the visions <2376 chezev > of mine head <7217 re>sh > in my bed <4903 mishkab > ; I saw <2370 chaza> > , and behold <0431 >aluw > a tree <0363 >iylan > in the midst <1459 gav > of the earth <0772 >ara< > , and the height <7314 ruwm > thereof [ was ] great <7690 saggiy> > .
: 11 The tree <0363 >iylan > grew <7236 r@bah > , and was strong <8631 t@qeph > , and the height <7314 ruwm > thereof reached <4291 m@ta> > unto heaven <8065 shamayin > , and the sight <2379 chazowth > thereof to the end <5491 cowph > of all <3606 kol > the earth <0772 >ara< > :
: 12 The leaves <6074 <ophiy > thereof [ were ] fair <8509 takriyk > , and the fruit <4> thereof much <7690 saggiy> > , and in it [ was ] meat <4203 mazown > for all <3606 kol > : the beasts <2423 cheyva> > of the field <1251 bar > had shadow <2927 t@lal > under <8460 t@chowth > it , and the fowls <6853 ts@phar > of the heaven <8065 shamayin > dwelt <1753 duwr > in the boughs <6056 <anaph > thereof , and all <3606 kol > flesh <1321 b@sar > was fed <2110 zuwn > of it .
: 13 I saw <2370 chaza> > in the visions <2376 chezev > of my head <7217 re>sh > upon my bed <4903 mishkab > , and , behold <0431 >aluw > , a watcher <5894 <iyr > and an holy <6922 qaddiysh > one came <5182 n@chath > down <5182 n@chath > from heaven <8065 shamayin > ;

: 15 Nevertheless <1297 b@ram > leave <7662 sh@baq > the stump <6136 <iqqar >of his roots <8330 shoresh > in the earth <0772 >ara< > , even with a band <0613 >ecuwr > of iron <6523 parzel > and brass <5174 n@chash > , in the tender grass <1883 dethe> > of the field <1251 bar > ; and let it be wet <6647 ts@ba< > with the dew <2920 tal > of heaven <8065 shamayin > , and [ let ] his portion <2508 chalaq > [ be ] with the beasts <2423 cheyva> > in the grass <6211 <ash > of the earth <0772 >ara< > :
: 16 Let his heart <3825 l@bab > be changed <8133 sh@na> > from man s <0606 >enash > , and let a beast s <2423 cheyva> > heart <3825 l@bab > be given <3052 y@hab > unto him ; and let seven <7655 shib<ah > times <5732 <iddan > pass <2499 chalaph > over <5922 <al > him .
: 17 This matter <6600 pithgam > [ is ] by the decree <1510 g@zerah > of the watchers <5894 <iyr > , and the demand <7595 sh@>ela> > by the word <3983 me>mar > of the holy <6922 qaddiysh > ones : to the intent <1701 dibrah > that the living <2417 chay > may know <3046 y@da< > that the most <5943 <illay > High <5943 <illay > ruleth <7980 shalat > in the kingdom <4437 malkuw > of men <0606 >enash > , and giveth <5415 n@than > it to whomsoever <4479 man > he will <6634 ts@ba> > , and setteth <6966 quwm > up over <5922 <al > it the basest <8215 sh@phal > of men <0606 >enash > .
