3 katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE Passage Biblia Hebraica

12And the people of Israel again did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh; and Yahweh strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done what was evil in the sight of Yahweh.EHUD - Judge. Jdg.3.12-30וַיֹּסִפוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לַעֲשֹׂות הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה וַיְחַזֵּק יְהוָה אֶת־עֶגְלֹון מֶלֶךְ־מֹואָב עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵל עַל כִּי־עָשׂוּ אֶת־הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה׃
13He gathered to himself the Ammonites and the Amalekites, and went and defeated Israel; and they took possession of the city of palms. וַיֶּאֱסֹף אֵלָיו אֶת־בְּנֵי עַמֹּון וַעֲמָלֵק וַיֵּלֶךְ וַיַּךְ אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיִּירְשׁוּ אֶת־עִיר הַתְּמָרִים׃
14And the people of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years. וַיַּעַבְדוּ בְנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת־עֶגְלֹון מֶלֶךְ־מֹואָב שְׁמֹונֶה עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָה׃ ס
15But when the people of Israel cried to Yahweh, Yahweh raised up for them a deliverer, Ehud, the son of Gera, the Benjaminite, a left-handed man. The people of Israel sent tribute by him to Eglon the king of Moab. וַיִּזְעֲקוּ בְנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל־יְהוָה וַיָּקֶם יְהוָה לָהֶם מֹושִׁיעַ אֶת־אֵהוּד בֶּן־גֵּרָא בֶּן־הַיְמִינִי אִישׁ אִטֵּר יַד־יְמִינֹו וַיִּשְׁלְחוּ בְנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּיָדֹו מִנְחָה לְעֶגְלֹון מֶלֶךְ מֹואָב׃
16And Ehud made for himself a sword with two edges, a cubit in length; and he girded it on his right thigh under his clothes. וַיַּעַשׂ לֹו אֵהוּד חֶרֶב וְלָהּ שְׁנֵי פֵיֹות גֹּמֶד אָרְכָּהּ וַיַּחְגֹּר אֹותָהּ מִתַּחַת לְמַדָּיו עַל יֶרֶךְ יְמִינֹו׃
17And he presented the tribute to Eglon king of Moab. Now Eglon was a very fat man. וַיַּקְרֵב אֶת־הַמִּנְחָה לְעֶגְלֹון מֶלֶךְ מֹואָב וְעֶגְלֹון אִישׁ בָּרִיא מְאֹד׃
18And when Ehud had finished presenting the tribute, he sent away the people that carried the tribute. וַיְהִי כַּאֲשֶׁר כִּלָּה לְהַקְרִיב אֶת־הַמִּנְחָה וַיְשַׁלַּח אֶת־הָעָם נֹשְׂאֵי הַמִּנְחָה׃
19But he himself turned back at the sculptured stones near Gilgal, and said, "I have a secret message for you, O king." And he commanded, "Silence." And all his attendants went out from his presence. וְהוּא שָׁב מִן־הַפְּסִילִים אֲשֶׁר אֶת־הַגִּלְגָּל וַיֹּאמֶר דְּבַר־סֵתֶר לִי אֵלֶיךָ הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיֹּאמֶר הָס וַיֵּצְאוּ מֵעָלָיו כָּל־הָעֹמְדִים עָלָיו׃
20And Ehud came to him, as he was sitting alone in his cool roof chamber. And Ehud said, "I have a message from God for you." And he arose from his seat. וְאֵהוּד בָּא אֵלָיו וְהוּא־יֹשֵׁב בַּעֲלִיַּת הַמְּקֵרָה אֲשֶׁר־לֹו לְבַדֹּו וַיֹּאמֶר אֵהוּד דְּבַר־אֱלֹהִים לִי אֵלֶיךָ וַיָּקָם מֵעַל הַכִּסֵּא׃
21And Ehud reached with his left hand, took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly; וַיִּשְׁלַח אֵהוּד אֶת־יַד שְׂמֹאלֹו וַיִּקַּח אֶת־הַחֶרֶב מֵעַל יֶרֶךְ יְמִינֹו וַיִּתְקָעֶהָ בְּבִטְנֹו׃
22and the hilt also went in after the blade, and the fat closed over the blade, for he did not draw the sword out of his belly; and the dirt came out. וַיָּבֹא גַם־הַנִּצָּב אַחַר הַלַּהַב וַיִּסְגֹּר הַחֵלֶב בְּעַד הַלַּהַב כִּי לֹא שָׁלַף הַחֶרֶב מִבִּטְנֹו וַיֵּצֵא הַפַּרְשְׁדֹנָה׃
23Then Ehud went out into the vestibule, and closed the doors of the roof chamber upon him, and locked them. וַיֵּצֵא אֵהוּד הַמִּסְדְּרֹונָה וַיִּסְגֹּר דַּלְתֹות הָעַלִיָּה בַּעֲדֹו וְנָעָל׃
24When he had gone, the servants came; and when they saw that the doors of the roof chamber were locked, they thought, "He is only relieving himself in the closet of the cool chamber." וְהוּא יָצָא וַעֲבָדָיו בָּאוּ וַיִּרְאוּ וְהִנֵּה דַּלְתֹות הָעֲלִיָּה נְעֻלֹות וַיֹּאמְרוּ אַךְ מֵסִיךְ הוּא אֶת־רַגְלָיו בַּחֲדַר הַמְּקֵרָה׃
25And they waited till they were utterly at a loss; but when he still did not open the doors of the roof chamber, they took the key and opened them; and there lay their lord dead on the floor. וַיָּחִילוּ עַד־בֹּושׁ וְהִנֵּה אֵינֶנּוּ פֹתֵחַ דַּלְתֹות הָעֲלִיָּה וַיִּקְחוּ אֶת־הַמַּפְתֵּחַ וַיִּפְתָּחוּ וְהִנֵּה אֲדֹנֵיהֶם נֹפֵל אַרְצָה מֵת׃
26Ehud escaped while they delayed, and passed beyond the sculptured stones, and escaped to Seirah. וְאֵהוּד נִמְלַט עַד הִתְמַהְמְהָם וְהוּא עָבַר אֶת־הַפְּסִילִים וַיִּמָּלֵט הַשְּׂעִירָתָה׃
27When he arrived, he sounded the trumpet in the hill country of Ephraim; and the people of Israel went down with him from the hill country, having him at their head. וַיְהִי בְּבֹואֹו וַיִּתְקַע בַּשֹּׁופָר בְּהַר אֶפְרָיִם וַיֵּרְדוּ עִמֹּו בְנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל מִן־הָהָר וְהוּא לִפְנֵיהֶם׃
28And he said to them, "Follow after me; for Yahweh has given your enemies the Moabites into your hand." So they went down after him, and seized the fords of the Jordan against the Moabites, and allowed not a man to pass over. וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵהֶם רִדְפוּ אַחֲרַי כִּי־נָתַן יְהוָה אֶת־אֹיְבֵיכֶם אֶת־מֹואָב בְּיֶדְכֶם וַיֵּרְדוּ אַחֲרָיו וַיִּלְכְּדוּ אֶת־מַעְבְּרֹות הַיַּרְדֵּן לְמֹואָב וְלֹא־נָתְנוּ אִישׁ לַעֲבֹר׃
29And they killed at that time about ten thousand of the Moabites, all strong, able-bodied men; not a man escaped. וַיַּכּוּ אֶת־מֹואָב בָּעֵת הַהִיא כַּעֲשֶׂרֶת אֲלָפִים אִישׁ כָּל־שָׁמֵן וְכָל־אִישׁ חָיִל וְלֹא נִמְלַט אִישׁ׃
30So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest for eighty years. וַתִּכָּנַע מֹואָב בַּיֹּום הַהוּא תַּחַת יַד יִשְׂרָאֵל וַתִּשְׁקֹט הָאָרֶץ שְׁמֹונִים שָׁנָה׃ 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.
