| אִ֛ישׁ הָיָ֥ה בְ/אֶֽרֶץ־ע֖וּץ אִיּ֣וֹב שְׁמ֑/וֹ וְ/הָיָ֣ה ׀ הָ/אִ֣ישׁ הַ/ה֗וּא תָּ֧ם וְ/יָשָׁ֛ר וִ/ירֵ֥א אֱלֹהִ֖ים וְ/סָ֥ר מֵ/רָֽע׃ | א | 1 | There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was whole-hearted and upright, and one that feared God, and shunned evil. |
| וַ/יִּוָּ֥לְדוּ ל֛/וֹ שִׁבְעָ֥ה בָנִ֖ים וְ/שָׁל֥וֹשׁ בָּנֽוֹת׃ | ב | 2 | And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters. |
| וַ/יְהִ֣י מִ֠קְנֵ/הוּ שִֽׁבְעַ֨ת אַלְפֵי־צֹ֜אן וּ/שְׁלֹ֧שֶׁת אַלְפֵ֣י גְמַלִּ֗ים וַ/חֲמֵ֨שׁ מֵא֤וֹת צֶֽמֶד־בָּקָר֙ וַ/חֲמֵ֣שׁ מֵא֣וֹת אֲתוֹנ֔וֹת וַ/עֲבֻדָּ֖ה רַבָּ֣ה מְאֹ֑ד וַ/יְהִי֙ הָ/אִ֣ישׁ הַ/ה֔וּא גָּד֖וֹל מִ/כָּל־בְּנֵי־קֶֽדֶם׃ | ג | 3 | His possessions also were seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she-asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the children of the east. |
| וְ/הָלְכ֤וּ בָנָי/ו֙ וְ/עָשׂ֣וּ מִשְׁתֶּ֔ה בֵּ֖ית אִ֣ישׁ יוֹמ֑/וֹ וְ/שָׁלְח֗וּ וְ/קָרְאוּ֙ לִ/שְׁלֹ֣שֶׁת אחיתי/הם אַחְיֽוֹתֵי/הֶ֔ם לֶ/אֱכֹ֥ל וְ/לִ/שְׁתּ֖וֹת עִמָּ/הֶֽם׃ | ד | 4 | And his sons used to go and hold a feast in the house of each one upon his day; and they would send and invite their three sisters to eat and to drink with them. |
| וַ/יְהִ֡י כִּ֣י הִקִּיפֽוּ֩ יְמֵ֨י הַ/מִּשְׁתֶּ֜ה וַ/יִּשְׁלַ֧ח אִיּ֣וֹב וַֽ/יְקַדְּשֵׁ֗/ם וְ/הִשְׁכִּ֣ים בַּ/בֹּקֶר֮ וְ/הֶעֱלָ֣ה עֹלוֹת֮ מִסְפַּ֣ר כֻּלָּ/ם֒ כִּ֚י אָמַ֣ר אִיּ֔וֹב אוּלַי֙ חָטְא֣וּ בָנַ֔/י וּ/בֵרֲכ֥וּ אֱלֹהִ֖ים בִּ/לְבָבָ֑/ם כָּ֛כָה יַעֲשֶׂ֥ה אִיּ֖וֹב כָּל־הַ/יָּמִֽים׃ פ | ה | 5 | And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt-offerings according to the number of them all; for Job said: 'It may be that my sons have sinned, and blasphemed God in their hearts.' Thus did Job continually. {P} |
| וַ/יְהִ֣י הַ/יּ֔וֹם וַ/יָּבֹ֙אוּ֙ בְּנֵ֣י הָ/אֱלֹהִ֔ים לְ/הִתְיַצֵּ֖ב עַל־יְהוָ֑ה וַ/יָּב֥וֹא גַֽם־הַ/שָּׂטָ֖ן בְּ/תוֹכָֽ/ם׃ | ו | 6 | Now it fell upon a day, that the sons of God came to present themselves before Yehovah, and Satan came also among them. |
| וַ/יֹּ֧אמֶר יְהוָ֛ה אֶל־הַ/שָּׂטָ֖ן מֵ/אַ֣יִן תָּבֹ֑א וַ/יַּ֨עַן הַ/שָּׂטָ֤ן אֶת־יְהוָה֙ וַ/יֹּאמַ֔ר מִ/שּׁ֣וּט בָּ/אָ֔רֶץ וּ/מֵֽ/הִתְהַלֵּ֖ךְ בָּֽ/הּ׃ | ז | 7 | And Yehovah said unto Satan: 'Whence comest thou?' Then Satan answered Yehovah, and said: 'From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.' |
| וַ/יֹּ֤אמֶר יְהוָה֙ אֶל־הַ/שָּׂטָ֔ן הֲ/שַׂ֥מְתָּ לִבְּ/ךָ֖ עַל־עַבְדִּ֣/י אִיּ֑וֹב כִּ֣י אֵ֤ין כָּמֹ֙/הוּ֙ בָּ/אָ֔רֶץ אִ֣ישׁ תָּ֧ם וְ/יָשָׁ֛ר יְרֵ֥א אֱלֹהִ֖ים וְ/סָ֥ר מֵ/רָֽע׃ | ח | 8 | And Yehovah said unto Satan: 'Hast thou considered My servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a whole-hearted and an upright man, one that feareth God, and shunneth evil?' |
| וַ/יַּ֧עַן הַ/שָּׂטָ֛ן אֶת־יְהוָ֖ה וַ/יֹּאמַ֑ר הַֽ/חִנָּ֔ם יָרֵ֥א אִיּ֖וֹב אֱלֹהִֽים׃ | ט | 9 | Then Satan answered Yehovah, and said: 'Doth Job fear God for nought? |
| הֲ/לֹֽא־את אַ֠תָּה שַׂ֣כְתָּ בַעֲד֧/וֹ וּ/בְעַד־בֵּית֛/וֹ וּ/בְעַ֥ד כָּל־אֲשֶׁר־ל֖/וֹ מִ/סָּבִ֑יב מַעֲשֵׂ֤ה יָדָי/ו֙ בֵּרַ֔כְתָּ וּ/מִקְנֵ֖/הוּ פָּרַ֥ץ בָּ/אָֽרֶץ׃ | י | 10 | Hast not Thou made a hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath, on every side? Thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions are increased in the land. |
| וְ/אוּלָם֙ שְֽׁלַֽח־נָ֣א יָֽדְ/ךָ֔ וְ/גַ֖ע בְּ/כָל־אֲשֶׁר־ל֑/וֹ אִם־לֹ֥א עַל־פָּנֶ֖י/ךָ יְבָרֲכֶֽ/ךָּ׃ | יא | 11 | But put forth Thy hand now, and touch all that he hath, surely he will blaspheme Thee to Thy face.' |
| וַ/יֹּ֨אמֶר יְהוָ֜ה אֶל־הַ/שָּׂטָ֗ן הִנֵּ֤ה כָל־אֲשֶׁר־ל/וֹ֙ בְּ/יָדֶ֔/ךָ רַ֣ק אֵלָ֔י/ו אַל־תִּשְׁלַ֖ח יָדֶ֑/ךָ וַ/יֵּצֵא֙ הַ/שָּׂטָ֔ן מֵ/עִ֖ם פְּנֵ֥י יְהוָֽה׃ | יב | 12 | And Yehovah said unto Satan: 'Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thy hand.' So Satan went forth from the presence of Yehovah. |
| וַ/יְהִ֖י הַ/יּ֑וֹם וּ/בָנָ֨י/ו וּ/בְנֹתָ֤י/ו אֹֽכְלִים֙ וְ/שֹׁתִ֣ים יַ֔יִן בְּ/בֵ֖ית אֲחִי/הֶ֥ם הַ/בְּכֽוֹר׃ | יג | 13 | And it fell on a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house, |
| וּ/מַלְאָ֛ךְ בָּ֥א אֶל־אִיּ֖וֹב וַ/יֹּאמַ֑ר הַ/בָּקָר֙ הָי֣וּ חֹֽרְשׁ֔וֹת וְ/הָ/אֲתֹנ֖וֹת רֹע֥וֹת עַל־יְדֵי/הֶֽם׃ | יד | 14 | that there came a messenger unto Job, and said: 'The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them; |
| וַ/תִּפֹּ֤ל שְׁבָא֙ וַ/תִּקָּחֵ֔/ם וְ/אֶת־הַ/נְּעָרִ֖ים הִכּ֣וּ לְ/פִי־חָ֑רֶב וָֽ/אִמָּ֨לְטָ֧/ה רַק־אֲנִ֛י לְ/בַדִּ֖/י לְ/הַגִּ֥יד לָֽ/ךְ׃ | יה | 15 | and the Sabeans made a raid, and took them away; yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.' |
| ע֣וֹד ׀ זֶ֣ה מְדַבֵּ֗ר וְ/זֶה֮ בָּ֣א וַ/יֹּאמַר֒ אֵ֣שׁ אֱלֹהִ֗ים נָֽפְלָה֙ מִן־הַ/שָּׁמַ֔יִם וַ/תִּבְעַ֥ר בַּ/צֹּ֛אן וּ/בַ/נְּעָרִ֖ים וַ/תֹּאכְלֵ֑/ם וָ/אִמָּ֨לְטָ֧/ה רַק־אֲנִ֛י לְ/בַדִּ֖/י לְ/הַגִּ֥יד לָֽ/ךְ׃ | יו | 16 | While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said: 'A fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.' |
| ע֣וֹד ׀ זֶ֣ה מְדַבֵּ֗ר וְ/זֶה֮ בָּ֣א וַ/יֹּאמַר֒ כַּשְׂדִּ֞ים שָׂ֣מוּ ׀ שְׁלֹשָׁ֣ה רָאשִׁ֗ים וַֽ/יִּפְשְׁט֤וּ עַל־הַ/גְּמַלִּים֙ וַ/יִּקָּח֔וּ/ם וְ/אֶת־הַ/נְּעָרִ֖ים הִכּ֣וּ לְ/פִי־חָ֑רֶב וָ/אִמָּ֨לְטָ֧/ה רַק־אֲנִ֛י לְ/בַדִּ֖/י לְ/הַגִּ֥יד לָֽ/ךְ׃ | יז | 17 | While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said: 'The Chaldeans set themselves in three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have taken them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.' |
| עַ֚ד זֶ֣ה מְדַבֵּ֔ר וְ/זֶ֖ה בָּ֣א וַ/יֹּאמַ֑ר בָּנֶ֨י/ךָ וּ/בְנוֹתֶ֤י/ךָ אֹֽכְלִים֙ וְ/שֹׁתִ֣ים יַ֔יִן בְּ/בֵ֖ית אֲחִי/הֶ֥ם הַ/בְּכֽוֹר׃ | יח | 18 | While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said: 'Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house; |
| וְ/הִנֵּה֩ ר֨וּחַ גְּדוֹלָ֜ה בָּ֣אָה ׀ מֵ/עֵ֣בֶר הַ/מִּדְבָּ֗ר וַ/יִּגַּע֙ בְּ/אַרְבַּע֙ פִּנּ֣וֹת הַ/בַּ֔יִת וַ/יִּפֹּ֥ל עַל־הַ/נְּעָרִ֖ים וַ/יָּמ֑וּתוּ וָ/אִמָּ֨לְטָ֧/ה רַק־אֲנִ֛י לְ/בַדִּ֖/י לְ/הַגִּ֥יד לָֽ/ךְ׃ | יט | 19 | And, behold, there came a great wind from across the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young people, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.' |
| וַ/יָּ֤קָם אִיּוֹב֙ וַ/יִּקְרַ֣ע אֶת־מְעִל֔/וֹ וַ/יָּ֖גָז אֶת־רֹאשׁ֑/וֹ וַ/יִּפֹּ֥ל אַ֖רְצָ/ה וַ/יִּשְׁתָּֽחוּ׃ | כ | 20 | Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped; |
וַ/יֹּאמֶר֩ עָרֹ֨ם יצתי יָצָ֜אתִי מִ/בֶּ֣טֶן אִמִּ֗/י וְ/עָרֹם֙ אָשׁ֣וּב שָׁ֔מָ/ה יְהוָ֣ה נָתַ֔ן וַ/יהוָ֖ה לָקָ֑ח יְהִ֛י שֵׁ֥ם יְהוָ֖ה מְבֹרָֽךְ׃
|
כא | 21 | And he said; naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither; Yehovah gave, and Yehovah hath taken away; blessed be the name of Yehovah. |
| בְּ/כָל־זֹ֖את לֹא־חָטָ֣א אִיּ֑וֹב וְ/לֹא־נָתַ֥ן תִּפְלָ֖ה לֵ/אלֹהִֽים׃ פ | כב | 22 | For all this Job sinned not, nor ascribed aught unseemly to God. {P} |

| וַ/יְהִ֣י הַ/יּ֔וֹם וַ/יָּבֹ֙אוּ֙ בְּנֵ֣י הָֽ/אֱלֹהִ֔ים לְ/הִתְיַצֵּ֖ב עַל־יְהוָ֑ה וַ/יָּב֤וֹא גַֽם־הַ/שָּׂטָן֙ בְּ/תֹכָ֔/ם לְ/הִתְיַצֵּ֖ב עַל־יְהוָֽה׃ | א | 1 | Again it fell upon a day, that the sons of God came to present themselves before Yehovah, and Satan came also among them to present himself before Yehovah. |
| וַ/יֹּ֤אמֶר יְהוָה֙ אֶל־הַ/שָּׂטָ֔ן אֵ֥י מִ/זֶּ֖ה תָּבֹ֑א וַ/יַּ֨עַן הַ/שָּׂטָ֤ן אֶת־יְהוָה֙ וַ/יֹּאמַ֔ר מִ/שֻּׁ֣ט בָּ/אָ֔רֶץ וּ/מֵ/הִתְהַלֵּ֖ךְ בָּֽ/הּ׃ | ב | 2 | And Yehovah said unto Satan: 'From whence comest thou?' And Satan answered Yehovah, and said: 'From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.' |
| וַ/יֹּ֨אמֶר יְהוָ֜ה אֶל־הַ/שָּׂטָ֗ן הֲ/שַׂ֣מְתָּ לִבְּ/ךָ֮ אֶל־עַבְדִּ֣/י אִיּוֹב֒ כִּי֩ אֵ֨ין כָּמֹ֜/הוּ בָּ/אָ֗רֶץ אִ֣ישׁ תָּ֧ם וְ/יָשָׁ֛ר יְרֵ֥א אֱלֹהִ֖ים וְ/סָ֣ר מֵ/רָ֑ע וְ/עֹדֶ֙/נּוּ֙ מַחֲזִ֣יק בְּ/תֻמָּת֔/וֹ וַ/תְּסִיתֵ֥/נִי ב֖/וֹ לְ/בַלְּע֥/וֹ חִנָּֽם׃ | ג | 3 | And Yehovah said unto Satan: 'Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a whole-hearted and an upright man, one that feareth God, and shunneth evil? and he still holdeth fast his integrity, although thou didst move Me against him, to destroy him without cause.' |
| וַ/יַּ֧עַן הַ/שָּׂטָ֛ן אֶת־יְהוָ֖ה וַ/יֹּאמַ֑ר ע֣וֹר בְּעַד־ע֗וֹר וְ/כֹל֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר לָ/אִ֔ישׁ יִתֵּ֖ן בְּעַ֥ד נַפְשֽׁ/וֹ׃ | ד | 4 | And Satan answered Yehovah, and said: 'Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life. |
| אוּלָם֙ שְֽׁלַֽח־נָ֣א יָֽדְ/ךָ֔ וְ/גַ֥ע אֶל־עַצְמ֖/וֹ וְ/אֶל־בְּשָׂר֑/וֹ אִם־לֹ֥א אֶל־פָּנֶ֖י/ךָ יְבָרֲכֶֽ/ךָּ׃ | ה | 5 | But put forth Thy hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, surely he will blaspheme Thee to Thy face.' |
| וַ/יֹּ֧אמֶר יְהוָ֛ה אֶל־הַ/שָּׂטָ֖ן הִנּ֣/וֹ בְ/יָדֶ֑/ךָ אַ֖ךְ אֶת־נַפְשׁ֥/וֹ שְׁמֹֽר׃ | ו | 6 | And Yehovah said unto Satan: 'Behold, he is in thy hand; only spare his life.' |
| וַ/יֵּצֵא֙ הַ/שָּׂטָ֔ן מֵ/אֵ֖ת פְּנֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה וַ/יַּ֤ךְ אֶת־אִיּוֹב֙ בִּ/שְׁחִ֣ין רָ֔ע מִ/כַּ֥ף רַגְל֖/וֹ עד וְ/עַ֥ד קָדְקֳדֽ/וֹ׃ | ז | 7 | So Satan went forth from the presence of Yehovah, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot even unto his crown. |
| וַ/יִּֽקַּֽח־ל֣/וֹ חֶ֔רֶשׂ לְ/הִתְגָּרֵ֖ד בּ֑/וֹ וְ/ה֖וּא יֹשֵׁ֥ב בְּ/תוֹךְ־הָ/אֵֽפֶר׃ | ח | 8 | And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself therewith; and he sat among the ashes. |
| וַ/תֹּ֤אמֶר ל/וֹ֙ אִשְׁתּ֔/וֹ עֹדְ/ךָ֖ מַחֲזִ֣יק בְּ/תֻמָּתֶ֑/ךָ בָּרֵ֥ךְ אֱלֹהִ֖ים וָ/מֻֽת׃ | ט | 9 | Then said his wife unto him: 'Dost thou still hold fast thine integrity? blaspheme God, and die.' |
| וַ/יֹּ֣אמֶר אֵלֶ֗י/הָ כְּ/דַבֵּ֞ר אַחַ֤ת הַ/נְּבָלוֹת֙ תְּדַבֵּ֔רִי גַּ֣ם אֶת־הַ/טּ֗וֹב נְקַבֵּל֙ מֵ/אֵ֣ת הָ/אֱלֹהִ֔ים וְ/אֶת־הָ/רָ֖ע לֹ֣א נְקַבֵּ֑ל בְּ/כָל־זֹ֛את לֹא־חָטָ֥א אִיּ֖וֹב בִּ/שְׂפָתָֽי/ו׃ פ | י | 10 | But he said unto her: 'Thou speakest as one of the impious women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?' For all this did not Job sin with his lips. {P} |
| וַֽ/יִּשְׁמְע֞וּ שְׁלֹ֣שֶׁת ׀ רֵעֵ֣י אִיּ֗וֹב אֵ֣ת כָּל־הָ/רָעָ֣ה הַ/זֹּאת֮ הַ/בָּ֣אָה עָלָי/ו֒ וַ/יָּבֹ֙אוּ֙ אִ֣ישׁ מִ/מְּקֹמ֔/וֹ אֱלִיפַ֤ז הַ/תֵּימָנִי֙ וּ/בִלְדַּ֣ד הַ/שּׁוּחִ֔י וְ/צוֹפַ֖ר הַ/נַּֽעֲמָתִ֑י וַ/יִּוָּעֲד֣וּ יַחְדָּ֔ו לָ/ב֥וֹא לָ/נֽוּד־ל֖/וֹ וּֽ/לְ/נַחֲמֽ/וֹ׃ | יא | 11 | Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his own place, Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite; and they made an appointment together to come to bemoan him and to comfort him. |
| וַ/יִּשְׂא֨וּ אֶת־עֵינֵי/הֶ֤ם מֵ/רָחוֹק֙ וְ/לֹ֣א הִכִּירֻ֔/הוּ וַ/יִּשְׂא֥וּ קוֹלָ֖/ם וַ/יִּבְכּ֑וּ וַֽ/יִּקְרְעוּ֙ אִ֣ישׁ מְעִל֔/וֹ וַ/יִּזְרְק֥וּ עָפָ֛ר עַל־רָאשֵׁי/הֶ֖ם הַ/שָּׁמָֽיְמָ/ה׃ | יב | 12 | And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his mantle, and threw dust upon their heads toward heaven. |
| וַ/יֵּשְׁב֤וּ אִתּ/וֹ֙ לָ/אָ֔רֶץ שִׁבְעַ֥ת יָמִ֖ים וְ/שִׁבְעַ֣ת לֵיל֑וֹת וְ/אֵין־דֹּבֵ֤ר אֵלָי/ו֙ דָּבָ֔ר כִּ֣י רָא֔וּ כִּֽי־גָדַ֥ל הַ/כְּאֵ֖ב מְאֹֽד׃ | יג | 13 | So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spoke a word unto him; for they saw that his grief was very great. |

| אַחֲרֵי־כֵ֗ן פָּתַ֤ח אִיּוֹב֙ אֶת־פִּ֔י/הוּ וַ/יְקַלֵּ֖ל אֶת־יוֹמֽ/וֹ׃ פ | א | 1 | After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day. {P} |
| וַ/יַּ֥עַן אִיּ֗וֹב וַ/יֹּאמַֽר׃ | ב | 2 | {S} And Job spoke, and said: |
יֹ֣אבַד י֭וֹם אִוָּ֣לֶד בּ֑/וֹ וְ/הַ/לַּ֥יְלָה אָ֝מַ֗ר הֹ֣רָה גָֽבֶר׃
|
ג | 3 | Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night wherein it was said: 'A man-child is brought forth.' |
| הַ/יּ֥וֹם הַ/ה֗וּא יְֽהִ֫י חֹ֥שֶׁךְ אַֽל־יִדְרְשֵׁ֣/הוּ אֱל֣וֹהַּ מִ/מָּ֑עַל וְ/אַל־תּוֹפַ֖ע עָלָ֣י/ו נְהָרָֽה׃ | ד | 4 | Let that day be darkness; {N} let not God inquire after it from above, neither let the light shine upon it. |

| הַ/לַּ֥יְלָה הַ/הוּא֮ יִקָּחֵ֪/ה֫וּ אֹ֥פֶל אַל־יִ֭חַדְּ בִּ/ימֵ֣י שָׁנָ֑ה בְּ/מִסְפַּ֥ר יְ֝רָחִ֗ים אַל־יָבֹֽא׃ | ו | 6 | As for that night, let thick darkness seize upon it; {N} let it not rejoice among the days of the year; let it not come into the number of the months. |
| הִנֵּ֤ה הַ/לַּ֣יְלָה הַ֭/הוּא יְהִ֣י גַלְמ֑וּד אַל־תָּבֹ֖א רְנָנָ֣ה בֽ/וֹ׃ | ז | 7 | Lo, let that night be desolate; let no joyful voice come therein. |

| יֶחְשְׁכוּ֮ כּוֹכְבֵ֪י נִ֫שְׁפּ֥/וֹ יְקַו־לְ/א֥וֹר וָ/אַ֑יִן וְ/אַל־יִ֝רְאֶ֗ה בְּ/עַפְעַפֵּי־שָֽׁחַר׃ | ט | 9 | Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark; let it look for light, but have none; neither let it behold the eyelids of the morning; |
| כִּ֤י לֹ֣א סָ֭גַר דַּלְתֵ֣י בִטְנִ֑/י וַ/יַּסְתֵּ֥ר עָ֝מָ֗ל מֵ/עֵינָֽ/י׃ | י | 10 | Because it shut not up the doors of my [mother's] womb, nor hid trouble from mine eyes. |
| לָ֤/מָּה לֹּ֣א מֵ/רֶ֣חֶם אָמ֑וּת מִ/בֶּ֖טֶן יָצָ֣אתִי וְ/אֶגְוָֽע׃ | יא | 11 | Why died I not from the womb? Why did I not perish at birth? |
| מַ֭דּוּעַ קִדְּמ֣וּ/נִי בִרְכָּ֑יִם וּ/מַה־שָּׁ֝דַ֗יִם כִּ֣י אִינָֽק׃ | יב | 12 | Why did the knees receive me? And wherefore the breasts, that I should suck? |
| כִּֽי־עַ֭תָּה שָׁכַ֣בְתִּי וְ/אֶשְׁק֑וֹט יָ֝שַׁ֗נְתִּי אָ֤ז ׀ יָנ֬וּחַֽ לִֽ/י׃ | יג | 13 | For now should I have lain still and been quiet; I should have slept; then had I been at rest-- |
| עִם־מְ֭לָכִים וְ/יֹ֣עֲצֵי אָ֑רֶץ הַ/בֹּנִ֖ים חֳרָב֣וֹת לָֽ/מוֹ׃ | יד | 14 | With kings and counsellors of the earth, who built up waste places for themselves; |

| פֶּן־תֹּ֣֭אמְרוּ מָצָ֣אנוּ חָכְמָ֑ה אֵ֖ל יִדְּפֶ֣/נּוּ לֹא־אִֽישׁ׃ | יג | 13 | Beware lest ye say: 'We have found wisdom; God may vanquish him, not man!' |
| וְ/לֹא־עָרַ֣ךְ אֵלַ֣/י מִלִּ֑ין וּ֝/בְ/אִמְרֵי/כֶ֗ם לֹ֣א אֲשִׁיבֶֽ/נּוּ׃ | יד | 14 | For he hath not directed his words against me; neither will I answer him with your speeches. |
| חַ֭תּוּ לֹא־עָ֣נוּ ע֑וֹד הֶעְתִּ֖יקוּ מֵ/הֶ֣ם מִלִּֽים׃ | יה | 15 | They are amazed, they answer no more; words are departed from them. |

| וַ/יַּ֥עַן אֱלִיה֗וּא וַ/יֹּאמַֽר׃ | א | 1 | {S} Moreover Elihu answered and said: |
| שִׁמְע֣וּ חֲכָמִ֣ים מִלָּ֑/י וְ֝/יֹדְעִ֗ים הַאֲזִ֥ינוּ לִֽ/י׃ | ב | 2 | Hear my words, ye wise men; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge. |
| כִּי־אֹ֭זֶן מִלִּ֣ין תִּבְחָ֑ן וְ֝/חֵ֗ךְ יִטְעַ֥ם לֶ/אֱכֹֽל׃ | ג | 3 | For the ear trieth words, as the palate tasteth food. |
| מִשְׁפָּ֥ט נִבְחֲרָה־לָּ֑/נוּ נֵדְעָ֖ה בֵינֵ֣י/נוּ מַה־טּֽוֹב׃ | ד | 4 | Let us choose for us that which is right; let us know among ourselves what is good. |
| כִּֽי־אָ֭מַר אִיּ֣וֹב צָדַ֑קְתִּי וְ֝/אֵ֗ל הֵסִ֥יר מִשְׁפָּטִֽ/י׃ | ה | 5 | For Job hath said: 'I am righteous, and God hath taken away my right; |

| מִי־גֶ֥בֶר כְּ/אִיּ֑וֹב יִֽשְׁתֶּה־לַּ֥עַג כַּ/מָּֽיִם׃ | ז | 7 | What man is like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water? |
| וְ/אָרַ֣ח לְ֭/חֶבְרָה עִם־פֹּ֣עֲלֵי אָ֑וֶן וְ֝/לָ/לֶ֗כֶת עִם־אַנְשֵׁי־רֶֽשַׁע׃ | ח | 8 | Who goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men. |
| כִּֽי־אָ֭מַר לֹ֣א יִסְכָּן־גָּ֑בֶר בִּ֝/רְצֹת֗/וֹ עִם־אֱלֹהִֽים׃ | ט | 9 | For he hath said: 'It profiteth a man nothing that he should be in accord with God.' |

לָ/כֵ֤ן ׀ אַ֥נֲשֵׁ֥י לֵבָ֗ב שִׁמְע֫וּ לִ֥/י חָלִ֖לָ/ה לָ/אֵ֥ל מֵ/רֶ֗שַׁע וְ/שַׁדַּ֥י מֵ/עָֽוֶל׃
|
י | 10 | Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of understanding: {N} Far be it from God, that He should do wickedness; and from the Almighty, that He should commit iniquity. |
| כִּ֤י פֹ֣עַל אָ֭דָם יְשַׁלֶּם־ל֑/וֹ וּֽ/כְ/אֹ֥רַח אִ֝֗ישׁ יַמְצִאֶֽ/נּוּ׃ | יא | 11 | For the work of a man will He requite unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways. |
| אַף־אָמְנָ֗ם אֵ֥ל לֹֽא־יַרְשִׁ֑יעַ וְ֝/שַׁדַּ֗י לֹֽא־יְעַוֵּ֥ת מִשְׁפָּֽט׃ | יב | 12 | Yea, of a surety, God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert justice. |
| מִֽי־פָקַ֣ד עָלָ֣י/ו אָ֑רְצָ/ה וּ/מִ֥י שָׂ֝֗ם תֵּבֵ֥ל כֻּלָּֽ/הּ׃ | יג | 13 | Who gave Him a charge over the earth? Or who hath disposed the whole world? |
| אִם־יָשִׂ֣ים אֵלָ֣י/ו לִבּ֑/וֹ רוּח֥/וֹ וְ֝/נִשְׁמָת֗/וֹ אֵלָ֥י/ו יֶאֱסֹֽף׃ | יד | 14 | If He set His heart upon man, if He gather unto Himself his spirit and his breath; |
| יִגְוַ֣ע כָּל־בָּשָׂ֣ר יָ֑חַד וְ֝/אָדָ֗ם עַל־עָפָ֥ר יָשֽׁוּב׃ | יה | 15 | All flesh shall perish together, and man shall return unto dust. |

| הַ/אַ֬ף שׂוֹנֵ֣א מִשְׁפָּ֣ט יַחֲב֑וֹשׁ וְ/אִם־צַדִּ֖יק כַּבִּ֣יר תַּרְשִֽׁיעַ׃ | יז | 17 | Shall even one that hateth right govern? And wilt thou condemn Him that is just and mighty-- |
| הַ/אֲמֹ֣ר לְ/מֶ֣לֶךְ בְּלִיָּ֑עַל רָ֝שָׁ֗ע אֶל־נְדִיבִֽים׃ | יח | 18 | Is it fit to say to a king: 'Thou art base'? Or to nobles: 'Ye are wicked'?-- |

|
יט | 19 | That respecteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? {N} For they all are the work of His hands. |
| רֶ֤גַע ׀ יָמֻתוּ֮ וַ/חֲצ֪וֹת לָ֥יְלָה יְגֹעֲשׁ֣וּ עָ֣ם וְ/יַעֲבֹ֑רוּ וְ/יָסִ֥ירוּ אַ֝בִּ֗יר לֹ֣א בְ/יָֽד׃ | כ | 20 | In a moment they die, even at midnight; {N} the people are shaken and pass away, and the mighty are taken away without hand. |
| כִּי־עֵ֭ינָי/ו עַל־דַּרְכֵי־אִ֑ישׁ וְֽ/כָל־צְעָדָ֥י/ו יִרְאֶֽה׃ | כא | 21 | For His eyes are upon the ways of a man, and He seeth all his goings. |
|
אֵֽין־חֹ֭שֶׁךְ וְ/אֵ֣ין צַלְמָ֑וֶת לְ/הִסָּ֥תֶר שָׁ֝֗ם פֹּ֣עֲלֵי אָֽוֶן׃
|
כב | 22 | There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves. |
| כִּ֤י לֹ֣א עַל־אִ֭ישׁ יָשִׂ֣ים ע֑וֹד לַ/הֲלֹ֥ךְ אֶל־אֵ֝֗ל בַּ/מִּשְׁפָּֽט׃ | כג | 23 | For He doth not appoint a time unto any man, when he should go before God in judgment. |
| יָרֹ֣עַ כַּבִּירִ֣ים לֹא־חֵ֑קֶר וַ/יַּעֲמֵ֖ד אֲחֵרִ֣ים תַּחְתָּֽ/ם׃ | כד | 24 | He breaketh in pieces mighty men without inquisition, and setteth others in their stead. |
| לָ/כֵ֗ן יַ֭כִּיר מַעְבָּֽדֵי/הֶ֑ם וְ/הָ֥פַךְ לַ֝֗יְלָה וְ/יִדַּכָּֽאוּ׃ | כה | 25 | Therefore He taketh knowledge of their works; and He overturneth them in the night, so that they are crushed. |
| תַּֽחַת־רְשָׁעִ֥ים סְפָקָ֗/ם בִּ/מְק֥וֹם רֹאִֽים׃ | כו | 26 | He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others; |
| אֲשֶׁ֣ר עַל־כֵּ֭ן סָ֣רוּ מֵֽ/אַחֲרָ֑י/ו וְ/כָל־דְּ֝רָכָ֗י/ו לֹ֣א הִשְׂכִּֽילוּ׃ | כז | 27 | Because they turned aside from following Him, and would not have regard to any of His ways; |
| לְ/הָבִ֣יא עָ֭לָי/ו צַֽעֲקַת־דָּ֑ל וְ/צַעֲקַ֖ת עֲנִיִּ֣ים יִשְׁמָֽע׃ | כח | 28 | So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto Him, and He heareth the cry of the afflicted. |
| וְ/ה֤וּא יַשְׁקִ֨ט ׀ וּ/מִ֥י יַרְשִׁ֗עַ וְ/יַסְתֵּ֣ר פָּ֭נִים וּ/מִ֣י יְשׁוּרֶ֑/נּוּ וְ/עַל־גּ֖וֹי וְ/עַל־אָדָ֣ם יָֽחַד׃ | כט | 29 | When He giveth quietness, who then can condemn? And when He hideth His face, who then can behold Him? {N} whether it be done unto a nation, or unto a man, alike; |
| מִ֭/מְּלֹךְ אָדָ֥ם חָנֵ֗ף מִ/מֹּ֥קְשֵׁי עָֽם׃ | ל | 30 | That the godless man reign not, that there be none to ensnare the people. |

| מַשִּׂיגֵ֣/הוּ חֶ֭רֶב בְּלִ֣י תָק֑וּם חֲנִ֖ית מַסָּ֣ע וְ/שִׁרְיָֽה׃ | יח | 18 | If one lay at him with the sword, it will not hold; nor the spear, the dart, nor the pointed shaft. |
| יַחְשֹׁ֣ב לְ/תֶ֣בֶן בַּרְזֶ֑ל לְ/עֵ֖ץ רִקָּב֣וֹן נְחוּשָֽׁה׃ | יט | 19 | He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood. |
| לֹֽא־יַבְרִיחֶ֥/נּוּ בֶן־קָ֑שֶׁת לְ֝/קַ֗שׁ נֶהְפְּכוּ־ל֥/וֹ אַבְנֵי־קָֽלַע׃ | כ | 20 | The arrow cannot make him flee; slingstones are turned with him into stubble. |

| יַרְתִּ֣יחַ כַּ/סִּ֣יר מְצוּלָ֑ה יָ֝֗ם יָשִׂ֥ים כַּ/מֶּרְקָחָֽה׃ | כג | 23 | He maketh the deep to boil like a pot; he maketh the sea like a seething mixture. |
| אַ֭חֲרָי/ו יָאִ֣יר נָתִ֑יב יַחְשֹׁ֖ב תְּה֣וֹם לְ/שֵׂיבָֽה׃ | כד | 24 | He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary. |

| וַ/יַּ֖עַן אִיּ֥וֹב אֶת־יְהוָ֗ה וַ/יֹּאמַֽר׃ | א | 1 | {S} Then Job answered Yehovah, and said: |
| ידעת יָ֭דַעְתִּי כִּי־כֹ֣ל תּוּכָ֑ל וְ/לֹא־יִבָּצֵ֖ר מִמְּ/ךָ֣ מְזִמָּֽה׃ | ב | 2 | I know that Thou canst do every thing, and that no purpose can be withholden from Thee. |
| מִ֤י זֶ֨ה ׀ מַעְלִ֥ים עֵצָ֗ה בְּֽלִ֫י דָ֥עַת לָ/כֵ֣ן הִ֭גַּדְתִּי וְ/לֹ֣א אָבִ֑ין נִפְלָא֥וֹת מִ֝מֶּ֗/נִּי וְ/לֹ֣א אֵדָֽע׃ | ג | 3 | Who is this that hideth counsel without knowledge? {N} Therefore have I uttered that which I understood not, things too wonderful for me, which I knew not. |
| שְֽׁמַֽע־נָ֭א וְ/אָנֹכִ֣י אֲדַבֵּ֑ר אֶ֝שְׁאָלְ/ךָ֗ וְ/הוֹדִיעֵֽ/נִי׃ | ד | 4 | Hear, I beseech Thee, and I will speak; I will demand of Thee, and declare Thou unto me. |
| לְ/שֵֽׁמַע־אֹ֥זֶן שְׁמַעְתִּ֑י/ךָ וְ֝/עַתָּ֗ה עֵינִ֥/י רָאָֽתְ/ךָ׃ | ה | 5 | I had heard of Thee by the hearing of the ear; but now mine eye seeth Thee; |
| עַל־כֵּ֭ן אֶמְאַ֣ס וְ/נִחַ֑מְתִּי עַל־עָפָ֥ר וָ/אֵֽפֶר׃ פ | ו | 6 | Wherefore I abhor my words, and repent, seeing I am dust and ashes. {P} |
| וַ/יְהִ֗י אַחַ֨ר דִּבֶּ֧ר יְהוָ֛ה אֶת־הַ/דְּבָרִ֥ים הָ/אֵ֖לֶּה אֶל־אִיּ֑וֹב וַ/יֹּ֨אמֶר יְהוָ֜ה אֶל־אֱלִיפַ֣ז הַ/תֵּֽימָנִ֗י חָרָ֨ה אַפִּ֤/י בְ/ךָ֙ וּ/בִ/שְׁנֵ֣י רֵעֶ֔י/ךָ כִּ֠י לֹ֣א דִבַּרְתֶּ֥ם אֵלַ֛/י נְכוֹנָ֖ה כְּ/עַבְדִּ֥/י אִיּֽוֹב׃ | ז | 7 | And it was so, that after Yehovah had spoken these words unto Job, Yehovah said to Eliphaz the Temanite: 'My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends; for ye have not spoken of Me the thing that is right, as My servant Job hath. {S} |
| וְ/עַתָּ֡ה קְחֽוּ־לָ/כֶ֣ם שִׁבְעָֽה־פָרִים֩ וְ/שִׁבְעָ֨ה אֵילִ֜ים וּ/לְכ֣וּ ׀ אֶל־עַבְדִּ֣/י אִיּ֗וֹב וְ/הַעֲלִיתֶ֤ם עוֹלָה֙ בַּֽעַדְ/כֶ֔ם וְ/אִיּ֣וֹב עַבְדִּ֔/י יִתְפַּלֵּ֖ל עֲלֵי/כֶ֑ם כִּ֧י אִם־פָּנָ֣י/ו אֶשָּׂ֗א לְ/בִלְתִּ֞י עֲשׂ֤וֹת עִמָּ/כֶם֙ נְבָלָ֔ה כִּ֠י לֹ֣א דִבַּרְתֶּ֥ם אֵלַ֛/י נְכוֹנָ֖ה כְּ/עַבְדִּ֥/י אִיּֽוֹב׃ | ח | 8 | Now therefore, take unto you seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to My servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt-offering; and My servant Job shall pray for you; for him will I accept, that I do not unto you aught unseemly; for ye have not spoken of Me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.' |
| וַ/יֵּלְכוּ֩ אֱלִיפַ֨ז הַ/תֵּֽימָנִ֜י וּ/בִלְדַּ֣ד הַ/שּׁוּחִ֗י צֹפַר֙ הַ/נַּ֣עֲמָתִ֔י וַֽ/יַּעֲשׂ֔וּ כַּ/אֲשֶׁ֛ר דִּבֶּ֥ר אֲלֵי/הֶ֖ם יְהוָ֑ה וַ/יִּשָּׂ֥א יְהוָ֖ה אֶת־פְּנֵ֥י אִיּֽוֹב׃ | ט | 9 | So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as Yehovah commanded them; and Yehovah accepted Job. |
| וַֽ/יהוָ֗ה שָׁ֚ב אֶת־שבית שְׁב֣וּת אִיּ֔וֹב בְּ/הִֽתְפַּֽלְל֖/וֹ בְּעַ֣ד רֵעֵ֑/הוּ וַ֧/יֹּסֶף יְהוָ֛ה אֶת־כָּל־אֲשֶׁ֥ר לְ/אִיּ֖וֹב לְ/מִשְׁנֶֽה׃ | י | 10 | And Yehovah changed the fortune of Job, when he prayed for his friends; and Yehovah gave Job twice as much as he had before. |
| וַ/יָּבֹ֣אוּ אֵ֠לָי/ו כָּל־אֶחָ֨י/ו וְ/כָל־אחיתי/ו אַחְיוֹתָ֜י/ו וְ/כָל־יֹדְעָ֣י/ו לְ/פָנִ֗ים וַ/יֹּאכְל֨וּ עִמּ֣/וֹ לֶחֶם֮ בְּ/בֵית/וֹ֒ וַ/יָּנֻ֤דוּ ל/וֹ֙ וַ/יְנַחֲמ֣וּ אֹת֔/וֹ עַ֚ל כָּל־הָ֣/רָעָ֔ה אֲשֶׁר־הֵבִ֥יא יְהוָ֖ה עָלָ֑י/ו וַ/יִּתְּנוּ־ל֗/וֹ אִ֚ישׁ קְשִׂיטָ֣ה אֶחָ֔ת וְ/אִ֕ישׁ נֶ֥זֶם זָהָ֖ב אֶחָֽד׃ ס | יא | 11 | Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house; and they bemoaned him, and comforted him concerning all the evil that Yehovah had brought upon him; every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one a ring of gold. |
| וַֽ/יהוָ֗ה בֵּרַ֛ךְ אֶת־אַחֲרִ֥ית אִיּ֖וֹב מֵ/רֵאשִׁת֑/וֹ וַֽ/יְהִי־ל֡/וֹ אַרְבָּעָה֩ עָשָׂ֨ר אֶ֜לֶף צֹ֗אן וְ/שֵׁ֤שֶׁת אֲלָפִים֙ גְּמַלִּ֔ים וְ/אֶֽלֶף־צֶ֥מֶד בָּקָ֖ר וְ/אֶ֥לֶף אֲתוֹנֽוֹת׃ | יב | 12 | So Yehovah blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning; and he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-asses. |
| וַֽ/יְהִי־ל֛/וֹ שִׁבְעָ֥נָה בָנִ֖ים וְ/שָׁל֥וֹשׁ בָּנֽוֹת׃ | יג | 13 | He had also seven sons and three daughters. |
| וַ/יִּקְרָ֤א שֵׁם־הָֽ/אַחַת֙ יְמִימָ֔ה וְ/שֵׁ֥ם הַ/שֵּׁנִ֖ית קְצִיעָ֑ה וְ/שֵׁ֥ם הַ/שְּׁלִישִׁ֖ית קֶ֥רֶן הַפּֽוּךְ׃ | יד | 14 | And he called the name of the first, Jemimah; and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren-happuch. |
| וְ/לֹ֨א נִמְצָ֜א נָשִׁ֥ים יָפ֛וֹת כִּ/בְנ֥וֹת אִיּ֖וֹב בְּ/כָל־הָ/אָ֑רֶץ וַ/יִּתֵּ֨ן לָ/הֶ֧ם אֲבִי/הֶ֛ם נַחֲלָ֖ה בְּ/ת֥וֹךְ אֲחֵי/הֶֽם׃ ס | יה | 15 | And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job; and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren. |
| וַ/יְחִ֤י אִיּוֹב֙ אַֽחֲרֵי־זֹ֔את מֵאָ֥ה וְ/אַרְבָּעִ֖ים שָׁנָ֑ה ו/ירא וַ/יִּרְאֶ֗ה אֶת־בָּנָי/ו֙ וְ/אֶת־בְּנֵ֣י בָנָ֔י/ו אַרְבָּעָ֖ה דֹּרֽוֹת׃ | יו | 16 | And after this Job lived a hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations. |
| וַ/יָּ֣מָת אִיּ֔וֹב זָקֵ֖ן וּ/שְׂבַ֥ע יָמִֽים׃ | יז | 17 | So Job died, being old and full of days. {P} |

QERE
—
KETIV
(What is Read —What is Written) : |
Qere and Ketiv, from the Aramaic qere or q're, קְרֵי ("[what is] read") and ketiv, or ketib, kethib, kethibh, kethiv, כְּתִיב ("[what is] written"), also known as "keri uchesiv" or "keri uchetiv," refers to a system for marking differences between what is written in the consonantal text of the Hebrew Bible, as preserved by scribal tradition, and what is read. In such situations, the Qere is the technical orthographic device used to indicate the pronunciation of the words in the Masoretic text of the Hebrew language scriptures (Tanakh), while the Ketiv indicates their written form, as inherited from tradition. SOURCE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qere_and_Ketiv |
|
Q. What is the Qere and Ketiv and how does it relate to the Masoretes? ( see: http://jbtc.org/v08/Graves2003.html ) For PDF Of Above Link Click This Line! A. Qere and Ketiv are orthographic devices that were used by the Masoretes, i.e., Jewish scribes from the 6-10th centuries. Qere means, "what is read," and ketiv means, "what is written". It is found in existing Masoretic manuscripts dating to the 9th and 10th centuries, CE. There are several forms of Qere / Ketiv, including: ordinary, vowel, omitted, added, euphemistic, split, and qere perpetuum. The ketiv that is most relevant is the vowel qere. In this case, the consonants are unchanged, but different vowel signs are added and only the qere, i.e., what is read, is vocalized. ... |

Notable Modifications
To The JPS 1917 Based English Scripture In The-Iconoclast.org's Hebrew–English Tanakh: |
|
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS!
|
|
In The-Iconoclast.org Modified Version Of the JPS 1917 Text, The Verse numbering has been altered to match the corresponding verses in the original Hebrew Scriptures of the actual Leningrad Codex for "The Ten Commandments" in Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5! For More Information Regarding 'The Ten Commandments', See Our Page, Comparing The Ten Commandments Exodus 20 & Deuteronomy 5 In The Leningrad Codex |
|
The Name
יְהֹוָה
Yehovah
|
|
"Yehovah", The Name Of G-d In The Hebrew Scripures ('YHVH':
י
'Yud',
ה
'He',
ו
'Vav',
ה
'He', aka Tetragamaton)
Is Used Instead of "LORD" (note: ALL CAPITAL LETTERS) As Found In The Original JPS 1917 Tanakh.
For More Information Regarding 'The Name', See Our Page, The Name יְהֹוָה [Yehovah] In The Aleppo And Leningrad Codices. In Converting "LORD" to "Yehovah", We Counted A Total Of 5,553 Occurrences In The JPS 1917 Tanakh! |
|
הָאָדֹ֥ן ׀ יְהוָֽה
ha Adon Yehovah
|
| The Hebrew Phrase הָאָדֹ֥ן ׀ יְהוָֽה Occurs In Only Two Places, In Exodus 23:17 and 34:23. In Those Cases, We Have Changed The Translation Wording From "Lord GOD" To "Lord GOD [ha Adon Yehovah]". |
|
אֲדֹנָ֥י יְהֹוִֽה
Adonai Yehovi
|
|
Typically Translated As "Lord GOD", It Is A Much Less Common Form Of The Divine Name,
יְהֹוָה
[Yehovah].
This Form אֲדֹנָ֥י יְהֹוִֽה Is, Nevertheless, Quite Important In Understanding Pronounciation For The Divine Name, Especially Since The Hebrew Form For It Has NOT Undergone The Intense Scrutiny Of rabbinic Censorship As Has "Yehovah". Accordingly, The Hebrew Text For This Form Of 'The Name' Typically HAS NOT BEEN ALTERED In Jewish Publications That Actually Keep The Vowel Pointers From The Masoretic Text! In Converting "Lord GOD" to "Lord GOD [Adonai Yehovi]", We Counted A Total Of 284 Occurrences In The JPS 1917 Tanakh. Of All Of Its Occurrences, The Fully Voweled Form Of The Hebrew אֲדֹנָ֥י יְהֹוִֽה Appears 31 Times, And The Non–Fully Voweled Form אֲדֹנָ֥י יְהוִֽה (The Same Hebrew Letters, Minus Just The One 'Oh' Sounding Character, "The Holem", Which Follows The First 'He' In ( י 'Yud', ה 'He', ו 'Vav', ה 'He' ), Make Up All Other Occurrences. |
|
תורה
Torah
|
|
The Word "Law" (Capital and lower case), As Found In The JPS 1917, Has Been Changed To "Torah" Where The Base Hebrew Letters
תורה
Correspond To The Matching Verse In The Leningrad Codex (Masoretic Text)!
In Converting "Law" to "Torah", We Counted A Total Of 223 Occurrences In The JPS 1917 Tanakh! |
|
Yerushalam, Yerushalem and Yerushalayim
|
|
יְרוּשָׁלִַ֖ם
"Yerushalam"
|
| The Word "Jerusalem" (the name of capital city in ancient Israel), As Found In The JPS 1917, Has Been Changed To Its Transliterated Equivalent, "Yerushalam" (note the 'am' ending), In All Places Where It Corresponds To [ יְרוּשָׁלִַ֖ם ] In The Hebrew Text. |
|
יְרוּשְׁלֶֽם
"Yerushalem"
|
| A Rare, Second Transliterated Form, "Yerushalem" (note the 'em' ending), Has Been Changed From "Jerusalem" Where The Hebrew Letters Spell Out The Aramaic Form [ יְרוּשְׁלֶֽם ] Found In Aramaic Parts Of Daniel And Ezra. |
|
ירוּשָׁלַ֙יִם֙
"Yerushalayim"
|
|
The Extremely Rare, Third Transliterated Form, "Yerushalayim" (note the 'ayim' ending), Has Been Changed From The JPS 1917 "Jerusalem" To Correspond To The Hebrew [
ירוּשָׁלַ֙יִם֙
]. Noteworthy Is That This Rarest Form Appears In Only Four (4) Places In The Entire Hebrew Scriptures, Yet, It Is The Most Common Pronunciation For The Name Of The Ancient City! Its Four (Out Of Over 600) Appearances Are: 1) Jeremiah 26:18, 2) Esther 2:6, 3) I Chronicles 3:5, and 4) II Chronicles 25:1. In Converting "Jerusalem" To Its Transliterated Equivalents, We Counted A Total Of 625 Occurrences In The JPS 1917 Tanakh! |
