34 katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE Passage Biblia Hebraica

3For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet a boy, he began to seek the God of David his father; and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem of the high places, the Asherim, and the graven and the molten images.Pagan places of worship destroyed. 2Chr.34.3-7וּבִשְׁמֹונֶה שָׁנִים לְמָלְכֹו וְהוּא עֹודֶנּוּ נַעַר הֵחֵל לִדְרֹושׁ לֵאלֹהֵי דָּוִיד אָבִיו וּבִשְׁתֵּים עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָה הֵחֵל לְטַהֵר אֶת־יְהוּדָה וִירוּשָׁלִַם מִן־הַבָּמֹות וְהָאֲשֵׁרִים וְהַפְּסִלִים וְהַמַּסֵּכֹות׃
4And they broke down the altars of the Baals in his presence; and he hewed down the incense altars which stood above them; and he broke in pieces the Asherim and the graven and the molten images, and he made dust of them and strewed it over the graves of those who had sacrificed to them. וַיְנַתְּצוּ לְפָנָיו אֵת מִזְבְּחֹות הַבְּעָלִים וְהַחַמָּנִים אֲשֶׁר־לְמַעְלָה מֵעֲלֵיהֶם גִּדֵּעַ וְהָאֲשֵׁרִים וְהַפְּסִלִים וְהַמַּסֵּכֹות שִׁבַּר וְהֵדַק וַיִּזְרֹק עַל־פְּנֵי הַקְּבָרִים הַזֹּבְחִים לָהֶם׃
5He also burned the bones of the priests on their altars, and purged Judah and Jerusalem. וְעַצְמֹות כֹּהֲנִים שָׂרַף עַל־כ= מִזְבְּחֹותָים ק= מִזְבְּחֹותָם וַיְטַהֵר אֶת־יְהוּדָה וְאֶת־יְרוּשָׁלִָם׃
6And in the cities of Manasseh, Ephraim, and Simeon, and as far as Naphtali, in their ruins round about, וּבְעָרֵי מְנַשֶּׁה וְאֶפְרַיִם וְשִׁמְעֹון וְעַד־נַפְתָּלִי כ= בָּהַר כ= בָּתֵּיהֶם ק= בְּחַרְבֹתֵיהֶם סָבִיב׃
7he broke down the altars, and beat the Asherim and the images into powder, and hewed down all the incense altars throughout all the land of Israel. Then he returned to Jerusalem. וַיְנַתֵּץ אֶת־הַמִּזְבְּחֹות וְאֶת־הָאֲשֵׁרִים וְהַפְּסִלִים כִּתַּת לְהֵדַק וְכָל־הַחַמָּנִים גִּדַּע בְּכָל־אֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיָּשָׁב לִירוּשָׁלִָם׃ 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.
