| 24 | And the king of Assyria brought people from Babylon, Cuthah, Avva, Hamath, and Sephar-vaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the people of Israel; and they took possession of Samaria, and dwelt in its cities. | Israel a province of the Assyrian Empire. 2Kgs.17.24-41 | וַיָּבֵא מֶלֶךְ־אַשּׁוּר מִבָּבֶל וּמִכּוּתָה וּמֵעַוָּא וּמֵחֲמָת וּסְפַרְוַיִם וַיֹּשֶׁב בְּעָרֵי שֹׁמְרֹון תַּחַת בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיִּרְשׁוּ אֶת־שֹׁמְרֹון וַיֵּשְׁבוּ בְּעָרֶיהָ׃ |
| 25 | And at the beginning of their dwelling there, they did not fear Yahweh; therefore Yahweh sent lions among them, which killed some of them. | וַיְהִי בִּתְחִלַּת שִׁבְתָּם שָׁם לֹא יָרְאוּ אֶת־יְהוָה וַיְשַׁלַּח יְהוָה בָּהֶם אֶת־הָאֲרָיֹות וַיִּהְיוּ הֹרְגִים בָּהֶם׃ | |
| 26 | So the king of Assyria was told, "The nations which you have carried away and placed in the cities of Samaria do not know the law of the god of the land; therefore he has sent lions among them, and behold, they are killing them, because they do not know the law of the god of the land." | וַיֹּאמְרוּ לְמֶלֶךְ אַשּׁוּר לֵאמֹר הַגֹּויִם אֲשֶׁר הִגְלִיתָ וַתֹּושֶׁב בְּעָרֵי שֹׁמְרֹון לֹא יָדְעוּ אֶת־מִשְׁפַּט אֱלֹהֵי הָאָרֶץ וַיְשַׁלַּח־בָּם אֶת־הָאֲרָיֹות וְהִנָּם מְמִיתִים אֹותָם כַּאֲשֶׁר אֵינָם יֹדְעִים אֶת־מִשְׁפַּט אֱלֹהֵי הָאָרֶץ׃ | |
| 27 | Then the king of Assyria commanded, "Send there one of the priests whom you carried away thence; and let him go and dwell there, and teach them the law of the god of the land." | וַיְצַו מֶלֶךְ־אַשּׁוּר לֵאמֹר הֹלִיכוּ שָׁמָּה אֶחָד מֵהַכֹּהֲנִים אֲשֶׁר הִגְלִיתֶם מִשָּׁם וְיֵלְכוּ וְיֵשְׁבוּ שָׁם וְיֹרֵם אֶת־מִשְׁפַּט אֱלֹהֵי הָאָרֶץ׃ | |
| 28 | So one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and dwelt in Bethel, and taught them how they should fear Yahweh. | וַיָּבֹא אֶחָד מֵהַכֹּהֲנִים אֲשֶׁר הִגְלוּ מִשֹּׁמְרֹון וַיֵּשֶׁב בְּבֵית־אֵל וַיְהִי מֹורֶה אֹתָם אֵיךְ יִירְאוּ אֶת־יְהוָה׃ | |
| 29 | But every nation still made gods of its own, and put them in the shrines of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in the cities in which they dwelt; | וַיִּהְיוּ עֹשִׂים גֹּוי גֹּוי אֱלֹהָיו וַיַּנִּיחוּ בְּבֵית הַבָּמֹות אֲשֶׁר עָשׂוּ הַשֹּׁמְרֹנִים גֹּוי גֹּוי בְּעָרֵיהֶם אֲשֶׁר הֵם יֹשְׁבִים שָׁם׃ | |
| 30 | the men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, the men of Cuth made Nergal, the men of Hamath made Ashima, | וְאַנְשֵׁי בָבֶל עָשׂוּ אֶת־סֻכֹּות בְּנֹות וְאַנְשֵׁי־כוּת עָשׂוּ אֶת־נֵרְגַל וְאַנְשֵׁי חֲמָת עָשׂוּ אֶת־אֲשִׁימָא׃ | |
| 31 | and the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak; and the Sepharvites burned their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim. | וְהָעַוִּים עָשׂוּ נִבְחַז וְאֶת־תַּרְתָּק וְהַסְפַרְוִים שֹׂרְפִים אֶת־בְּנֵיהֶם בָּאֵשׁ לְאַדְרַמֶּלֶךְ וַעֲנַמֶּלֶךְ כ= אֱלֹהַּ ק= אֱלֹהֵי כ= סְפַרִים ק= סְפַרְוָיִם׃ | |
| 32 | They also feared Yahweh, and appointed from among themselves all sorts of people as priests of the high places, who sacrificed for them in the shrines of the high places. | וַיִּהְיוּ יְרֵאִים אֶת־יְהוָה וַיַּעֲשׂוּ לָהֶם מִקְצֹותָם כֹּהֲנֵי בָמֹות וַיִּהְיוּ עֹשִׂים לָהֶם בְּבֵית הַבָּמֹות׃ | |
| 33 | So they feared Yahweh but also served their own gods, after the manner of the nations from among whom they had been carried away. | אֶת־יְהוָה הָיוּ יְרֵאִים וְאֶת־אֱלֹהֵיהֶם הָיוּ עֹבְדִים כְּמִשְׁפַּט הַגֹּויִם אֲשֶׁר־הִגְלוּ אֹתָם מִשָּׁם׃ | |
| 34 | To this day they do according to the former manner. They do not fear Yahweh, and they do not follow the statutes or the ordinances or the law or the commandment which Yahweh commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named Israel. | עַד הַיֹּום הַזֶּה הֵם עֹשִׂים כַּמִּשְׁפָּטִים הָרִאשֹׁנִים אֵינָם יְרֵאִים אֶת־יְהוָה וְאֵינָם עֹשִׂים כְּחֻקֹּתָם וּכְמִשְׁפָּטָם וְכַתֹּורָה וְכַמִּצְוָה אֲשֶׁר צִוָּה יְהוָה אֶת־בְּנֵי יַעֲקֹב אֲשֶׁר־שָׂם שְׁמֹו יִשְׂרָאֵל׃ | |
| 35 | Yahweh made a covenant with them, and commanded them, "You shall not fear other gods or bow yourselves to them or serve them or sacrifice to them; | וַיִּכְרֹת יְהוָה אִתָּם בְּרִית וַיְצַוֵּם לֵאמֹר לֹא תִירְאוּ אֱלֹהִים אֲחֵרִים וְלֹא־תִשְׁתַּחֲווּ לָהֶם וְלֹא תַעַבְדוּם וְלֹא תִזְבְּחוּ לָהֶם׃ | |
| 36 | but you shall fear Yahweh, who brought you out of the land of Egypt with great power and with an outstretched arm; you shall bow yourselves to him, and to him you shall sacrifice. | כִּי אִם־אֶת־יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר הֶעֱלָה אֶתְכֶם מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם בְּכֹחַ גָּדֹול וּבִזְרֹועַ נְטוּיָה אֹתֹו תִירָאוּ וְלֹו תִשְׁתַּחֲווּ וְלֹו תִזְבָּחוּ׃ | |
| 37 | And the statutes and the ordinances and the law and the commandment which he wrote for you, you shall always be careful to do. You shall not fear other gods, | וְאֶת־הַחֻקִּים וְאֶת־הַמִּשְׁפָּטִים וְהַתֹּורָה וְהַמִּצְוָה אֲשֶׁר כָּתַב לָכֶם תִּשְׁמְרוּן לַעֲשֹׂות כָּל־הַיָּמִים וְלֹא תִירְאוּ אֱלֹהִים אֲחֵרִים׃ | |
| 38 | and you shall not forget the covenant that I have made with you. You shall not fear other gods, | וְהַבְּרִית אֲשֶׁר־כָּרַתִּי אִתְּכֶם לֹא תִשְׁכָּחוּ וְלֹא תִירְאוּ אֱלֹהִים אֲחֵרִים׃ | |
| 39 | but you shall fear Yahweh your God, and he will deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies." | כִּי אִם־אֶת־יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם תִּירָאוּ וְהוּא יַצִּיל אֶתְכֶם מִיַּד כָּל־אֹיְבֵיכֶם׃ | |
| 40 | However they would not listen, but they did according to their former manner. | וְלֹא שָׁמֵעוּ כִּי אִם־כְּמִשְׁפָּטָם הָרִאשֹׁון הֵם עֹשִׂים׃ | |
| 41 | So these nations feared Yahweh, and also served their graven images; their children likewise, and their children's children - as their fathers did, so they do to this day. | וַיִּהְיוּ הַגֹּויִם הָאֵלֶּה יְרֵאִים אֶת־יְהוָה וְאֶת־פְּסִילֵיהֶם הָיוּ עֹבְדִים גַּם־בְּנֵיהֶם וּבְנֵי בְנֵיהֶם כַּאֲשֶׁר עָשׂוּ אֲבֹתָם הֵם עֹשִׂים עַד הַיֹּום הַזֶּה׃ ף | |
