6 katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE Passage Biblia Hebraica

24Afterward Ben-hadad king of Syria mustered his entire army, and went up, and besieged Samaria.King Benhadad besieges Samaria. 2Kgs.6.24-7.2וַיְהִי אַחֲרֵי־כֵן וַיִּקְבֹּץ בֶּן־הֲדַד מֶלֶךְ־אֲרָם אֶת־כָּל־מַחֲנֵהוּ וַיַּעַל וַיָּצַר עַל־שֹׁמְרֹון׃
25And there was a great famine in Samaria, as they besieged it, until an ass's head was sold for eighty shekels of silver, and the fourth part of a kab of dove's dung for five shekels of silver. וַיְהִי רָעָב גָּדֹול בְּשֹׁמְרֹון וְהִנֵּה צָרִים עָלֶיהָ עַד הֱיֹות רֹאשׁ־חֲמֹור בִּשְׁמֹנִים כֶּסֶף וְרֹבַע הַקַּב כ= חֲרֵייֹונִים ק= דִּבְיֹונִים בַּחֲמִשָּׁה־כָסֶף׃
26Now as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall, a woman cried out to him, saying, "Help, my lord, O king!" וַיְהִי מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל עֹבֵר עַל־הַחֹמָה וְאִשָּׁה צָעֲקָה אֵלָיו לֵאמֹר הֹושִׁיעָה אֲדֹנִי הַמֶּלֶךְ׃
27And he said, "If Yahweh will not help you, whence shall I help you? From the threshing floor, or from the wine press?" וַיֹּאמֶר אַל־יֹושִׁעֵךְ יְהוָה מֵאַיִן אֹושִׁיעֵךְ הֲמִן־הַגֹּרֶן אֹו מִן־הַיָּקֶב׃
28And the king asked her, "What is your trouble?" She answered, "This woman said to me, 'Give your son, that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.' וַיֹּאמֶר־לָהּ הַמֶּלֶךְ מַה־לָּךְ וַתֹּאמֶר הָאִשָּׁה הַזֹּאת אָמְרָה אֵלַי תְּנִי אֶת־בְּנֵךְ וְנֹאכְלֶנּוּ הַיֹּום וְאֶת־בְּנִי נֹאכַל מָחָר׃
29So we boiled my son, and ate him. And on the next day I said to her, 'Give your son, that we may eat him'; but she has hidden her son." וַנְּבַשֵּׁל אֶת־בְּנִי וַנֹּאכְלֵהוּ וָאֹמַר אֵלֶיהָ בַּיֹּום הָאַחֵר תְּנִי אֶת־בְּנֵךְ וְנֹאכְלֶנּוּ וַתַּחְבִּא אֶת־בְּנָהּ׃
30When the king heard the words of the woman he rent his clothes - now he was passing by upon the wall - and the people looked, and behold, he had sackcloth beneath upon his body - וַיְהִי כִשְׁמֹעַ הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶת־דִּבְרֵי הָאִשָּׁה וַיִּקְרַע אֶת־בְּגָדָיו וְהוּא עֹבֵר עַל־הַחֹמָה וַיַּרְא הָעָם וְהִנֵּה הַשַּׂק עַל־בְּשָׂרֹו מִבָּיִת׃
31and he said, "May God do so to me, and more also, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat remains on his shoulders today." וַיֹּאמֶר כֹּה־יַעֲשֶׂה־לִּי אֱלֹהִים וְכֹה יֹוסִף אִם־יַעֲמֹד רֹאשׁ אֱלִישָׁע בֶּן־שָׁפָט עָלָיו הַיֹּום׃
32Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him. Now the king had dispatched a man from his presence; but before the messenger arrived Elisha said to the elders, "Do you see how this murderer has sent to take off my head? Look, when the messenger comes, shut the door, and hold the door fast against him. Is not the sound of his master's feet behind him?" וֶאֱלִישָׁע יֹשֵׁב בְּבֵיתֹו וְהַזְּקֵנִים יֹשְׁבִים אִתֹּו וַיִּשְׁלַח אִישׁ מִלְּפָנָיו בְּטֶרֶם יָבֹא הַמַּלְאָךְ אֵלָיו וְהוּא אָמַר אֶל־הַזְּקֵנִים הַרְּאִיתֶם כִּי־שָׁלַח בֶּן־הַמְרַצֵּחַ הַזֶּה לְהָסִיר אֶת־רֹאשִׁי רְאוּ כְּבֹא הַמַּלְאָךְ סִגְרוּ הַדֶּלֶת וּלְחַצְתֶּם אֹתֹו בַּדֶּלֶת הֲלֹוא קֹול רַגְלֵי אֲדֹנָיו אַחֲרָיו׃
33And while he was still speaking with them, the king came down to him and said, "This trouble is from Yahweh! Why should I wait for Yahweh any longer?" עֹודֶנּוּ מְדַבֵּר עִםָּם וְהִנֵּה הַמַּלְאָךְ יֹרֵד אֵלָיו וַיֹּאמֶר הִנֵּה־זֹאת הָרָעָה מֵאֵת יְהוָה מָה־אֹוחִיל לַיהוָה עֹוד׃ ס
7 1But Elisha said, "Hear the word of Yahweh: thus says Yahweh, Tomorrow about this time a measure of fine meal shall be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, at the gate of Samaria." וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלִישָׁע שִׁמְעוּ דְּבַר־יְהוָה כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה כָּעֵת מָחָר סְאָה־סֹלֶת בְּשֶׁקֶל וְסָאתַיִם שְׂעֹרִים בְּשֶׁקֶל בְּשַׁעַר שֹׁמְרֹון׃
2Then the captain on whose hand the king leaned said to the man of God, "If Yahweh himself should make windows in heaven, could this thing be?" But he said, "You shall see it with your own eyes, but you shall not eat of it." וַיַּעַן הַשָּׁלִישׁ אֲשֶׁר־לַמֶּלֶךְ נִשְׁעָן עַל־יָדֹו אֶת־אִישׁ הָאֱלֹהִים וַיֹּאמַר הִנֵּה יְהוָה עֹשֶׂה אֲרֻבֹּות בַּשָּׁמַיִם הֲיִהְיֶה הַדָּבָר הַזֶּה וַיֹּאמֶר הִנְּכָה רֹאֶה בְּעֵינֶיךָ וּמִשָּׁם לֹא תֹאכֵל׃ ס

Notes: This page displays passages from the katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE.
The katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have used the name 'Yahweh'.
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.

The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages, and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages. Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole, with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background.
