4 katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE Passage Biblia Hebraica

4 1"And you, O son of man, take a brick and lay it before you, and portray upon it a city, even Jerusalem;Ezekiel acts out the seige of Jerusalem. Eze.4.1-17וְאַתָּה בֶן־אָדָם קַח־לְךָ לְבֵנָה וְנָתַתָּה אֹותָהּ לְפָנֶיךָ וְחַקֹּותָ עָלֶיהָ עִיר אֶת־יְרוּשָׁלִָם׃
2and put siegeworks against it, and build a siege wall against it, and cast up a mound against it; set camps also against it, and plant battering rams against it round about. וְנָתַתָּה עָלֶיהָ מָצֹור וּבָנִיתָ עָלֶיהָ דָּיֵק וְשָׁפַכְתָּ עָלֶיהָ סֹלְלָה וְנָתַתָּה עָלֶיהָ מַחֲנֹות וְשִׂים־עָלֶיהָ כָּרִים סָבִיב׃
3And take an iron plate, and place it as an iron wall between you and the city; and set your face toward it, and let it be in a state of siege, and press the siege against it. This is a sign for the house of Israel. וְאַתָּה קַח־לְךָ מַחֲבַת בַּרְזֶל וְנָתַתָּה אֹותָהּ קִיר בַּרְזֶל בֵּינְךָ וּבֵין הָעִיר וַהֲכִינֹתָה אֶת־פָּנֶיךָ אֵלֶיהָ וְהָיְתָה בַמָּצֹור וְצַרְתָּ עָלֶיהָ אֹות הִיא לְבֵית יִשְׂרָאֵל׃ ס
4"Then lie upon your left side, and I will lay the punishment of the house of Israel upon you; for the number of the days that you lie upon it, you shall bear their punishment. וְאַתָּה שְׁכַב עַל־צִדְּךָ הַשְּׂמָאלִי וְשַׂמְתָּ אֶת־עֲוֹן בֵּית־יִשְׂרָאֵל עָלָיו מִסְפַּר הַיָּמִים אֲשֶׁר תִּשְׁכַּב עָלָיו תִּשָּׂא אֶת־עֲוֹנָם׃
5For I assign to you a number of days, three hundred and ninety days, equal to the number of the years of their punishment; so long shall you bear the punishment of the house of Israel. וַאֲנִי נָתַתִּי לְךָ אֶת־שְׁנֵי עֲוֹנָם לְמִסְפַּר יָמִים שְׁלֹשׁ־מֵאֹות וְתִשְׁעִים יֹום וְנָשָׂאתָ עֲוֹן בֵּית־יִשְׂרָאֵל׃
6And when you have completed these, you shall lie down a second time, but on your right side, and bear the punishment of the house of Judah; forty days I assign you, a day for each year. וְכִלִּיתָ אֶת־אֵלֶּה וְשָׁכַבְתָּ עַל־צִדְּךָ כ= הַיְמֹונִי ק= הַיְמָנִי שֵׁנִית וְנָשָׂאתָ אֶת־עֲוֹן בֵּית־יְהוּדָה אַרְבָּעִים יֹום יֹום לַשָּׁנָה יֹום לַשָּׁנָה נְתַתִּיו לָךְ׃
7And you shall set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem, with your arm bared; and you shall prophesy against the city. וְאֶל־מְצֹור יְרוּשָׁלִַם תָּכִין פָּנֶיךָ וּזְרֹעֲךָ חֲשׂוּפָה וְנִבֵּאתָ עָלֶיהָ׃
8And, behold, I will put cords upon you, so that you cannot turn from one side to the other, till you have completed the days of your siege. וְהִנֵּה נָתַתִּי עָלֶיךָ עֲבֹותִים וְלֹא־תֵהָפֵךְ מִצִּדְּךָ אֶל־צִדֶּךָ עַד־כַּלֹּותְךָ יְמֵי מְצוּרֶךָ׃
9"And you, take wheat and barley, beans and lentils, millet and spelt, and put them into a single vessel, and make bread of them. During the number of days that you lie upon your side, three hundred and ninety days, you shall eat it.  וְאַתָּה קַח־לְךָ חִטִּין וּשְׂעֹרִים וּפֹול וַעֲדָשִׁים וְדֹחַן וְכֻסְּמִים וְנָתַתָּה אֹותָם בִּכְלִי אֶחָד וְעָשִׂיתָ אֹותָם לְךָ לְלָחֶם מִסְפַּר הַיָּמִים אֲשֶׁר־אַתָּה שֹׁוכֵב עַל־צִדְּךָ שְׁלֹשׁ־מֵאֹות וְתִשְׁעִים יֹום תֹּאכֲלֶנּוּ׃
10And the food which you eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day; once a day you shall eat it. וּמַאֲכָלְךָ אֲשֶׁר תֹּאכֲלֶנּוּ בְּמִשְׁקֹול עֶשְׂרִים שֶׁקֶל לַיֹּום מֵעֵת עַד־עֵת תֹּאכֲלֶנּוּ׃
11And water you shall drink by measure, the sixth part of a hin; once a day you shall drink. וּמַיִם בִּמְשׂוּרָה תִשְׁתֶּה שִׁשִּׁית הַהִין מֵעֵת עַד־עֵת תִּשְׁתֶּה׃
12And you shall eat it as a barley cake, baking it in their sight on human dung." וְעֻגַת שְׂעֹרִים תֹּאכֲלֶנָּה וְהִיא בְּגֶלְלֵי צֵאַת הָאָדָם תְּעֻגֶנָה לְעֵינֵיהֶם׃ ס
13And Yahweh said, "Thus shall the people of Israel eat their bread unclean, among the nations whither I will drive them." וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה כָּכָה יֹאכְלוּ בְנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת־לַחְםָם טָמֵא בַּגֹּויִם אֲשֶׁר אַדִּיחֵם שָׁם׃
14Then I said, "Ah Yahweh GOD! behold, I have never defiled myself; from my youth up till now I have never eaten what died of itself or was torn by beasts, nor has foul flesh come into my mouth." וָאֹמַר אֲהָהּ אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה הִנֵּה נַפְשִׁי לֹא מְטֻמָּאָה וּנְבֵלָה וּטְרֵפָה לֹא־אָכַלְתִּי מִנְּעוּרַי וְעַד־עַתָּה וְלֹא־בָא בְּפִי בְּשַׂר פִּגּוּל׃ ס
15Then he said to me, "See, I will let you have cow's dung instead of human dung, on which you may prepare your bread." וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלַי רְאֵה נָתַתִּי לְךָ אֶת־כ= צְפוּעֵי ק= צְפִיעֵי הַבָּקָר תַּחַת גֶּלְלֵי הָאָדָם וְעָשִׂיתָ אֶת־לַחְמְךָ עֲלֵיהֶם׃ ס
16Moreover he said to me, "Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem; they shall eat bread by weight and with fearfulness; and they shall drink water by measure and in dismay. וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלַי בֶּן־אָדָם הִנְנִי שֹׁבֵר מַטֵּה־לֶחֶם בִּירוּשָׁלִַם וְאָכְלוּ־לֶחֶם בְּמִשְׁקָל וּבִדְאָגָה וּמַיִם בִּמְשׂוּרָה וּבְשִׁמָּמֹון יִשְׁתּוּ׃
17I will do this that they may lack bread and water, and look at one another in dismay, and waste away under their punishment. לְמַעַן יַחְסְרוּ לֶחֶם וָמָיִם וְנָשַׁמּוּ אִישׁ וְאָחִיו וְנָמַקּוּ בַּעֲוֹנָם׃ ף

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.
