שופטים 1
| וַֽיְהִי אַֽחֲרֵי מוֹת יְהוֹשֻׁעַ וַֽיִּשְׁאֲלוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל בַּיהֹוָה לֵאמֹר מִי יַעֲלֶה־לָּנוּ אֶל־הַֽכְּנַעֲנִי בַּתְּחִלָּה לְהִלָּחֶם בּֽוֹ׃ | 1 |
Now after the death of Joshua it came to pass, that the children of Israel asked the LORD, saying, Who shall go up for us against the Canaanites first, to fight against them?
| וַיֹּאמֶר יְהֹוָה יְהוּדָה יַעֲלֶה הִנֵּה נָתַתִּי אֶת־הָאָרֶץ בְּיָדֽוֹ׃ | 2 |
And the LORD said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.
| וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוּדָה לְשִׁמְעוֹן אָחִיו עֲלֵה אִתִּי בְגֹרָלִי וְנִֽלָּחֲמָה בַּֽכְּנַעֲנִי וְהָלַכְתִּי גַם־אֲנִי אִתְּךָ בְּגוֹרָלֶךָ וַיֵּלֶךְ אִתּוֹ שִׁמְעֽוֹן׃ | 3 |
And Judah said to Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with you into your lot. So Simeon went with him.
| וַיַּעַל יְהוּדָה וַיִּתֵּן יְהֹוָה אֶת־הַכְּנַעֲנִי וְהַפְּרִזִּי בְּיָדָם וַיַּכּוּם בְּבֶזֶק עֲשֶׂרֶת אֲלָפִים אִֽישׁ׃ | 4 |
And Judah went up; and the LORD delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand: and they slew of them in Bezek ten thousand men.
| וַֽיִּמְצְאוּ אֶת־אֲדֹנִי בֶזֶק בְּבֶזֶק וַיִּֽלָּחֲמוּ בּוֹ וַיַּכּוּ אֶת־הַֽכְּנַעֲנִי וְאֶת־הַפְּרִזִּֽי׃ | 5 |
And they found Adonibezek in Bezek: and they fought against him, and they slew the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
| וַיָּנׇס אֲדֹנִי בֶזֶק וַֽיִּרְדְּפוּ אַחֲרָיו וַיֹּאחֲזוּ אוֹתוֹ וַֽיְקַצְּצוּ אֶת־בְּהֹנוֹת יָדָיו וְרַגְלָֽיו׃ | 6 |
But Adonibezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.
| וַיֹּאמֶר אֲדֹֽנִי־בֶזֶק שִׁבְעִים ׀ מְלָכִים בְּֽהֹנוֹת יְדֵיהֶם וְרַגְלֵיהֶם מְקֻצָּצִים הָיוּ מְלַקְּטִים תַּחַת שֻׁלְחָנִי כַּאֲשֶׁר עָשִׂיתִי כֵּן שִׁלַּם־לִי אֱלֹהִים וַיְבִיאֻהוּ יְרֽוּשָׁלַ͏ִם וַיָּמׇת שָֽׁם׃ | 7 |
And Adonibezek said, Three score and ten kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered their meat under my table: as I have done, so God has requited me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and there he died.
| וַיִּלָּחֲמוּ בְנֵֽי־יְהוּדָה בִּירוּשָׁלַ͏ִם וַיִּלְכְּדוּ אוֹתָהּ וַיַּכּוּהָ לְפִי־חָרֶב וְאֶת־הָעִיר שִׁלְּחוּ בָאֵֽשׁ׃ | 8 |
Now the children of Judah had fought against Jerusalem, and had taken it, and smitten it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire.
| וְאַחַר יָֽרְדוּ בְּנֵי יְהוּדָה לְהִלָּחֵם בַּֽכְּנַעֲנִי יוֹשֵׁב הָהָר וְהַנֶּגֶב וְהַשְּׁפֵלָֽה׃ | 9 |
And afterward the children of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites, that dwelled in the mountain, and in the south, and in the valley.
| וַיֵּלֶךְ יְהוּדָה אֶל־הַֽכְּנַעֲנִי הַיּוֹשֵׁב בְּחֶבְרוֹן וְשֵׁם־חֶבְרוֹן לְפָנִים קִרְיַת אַרְבַּע וַיַּכּוּ אֶת־שֵׁשַׁי וְאֶת־אֲחִימַן וְאֶת־תַּלְמָֽי׃ | 10 |
And Judah went against the Canaanites that dwelled in Hebron: (now the name of Hebron before was Kirjatharba: ) and they slew Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai.
| וַיֵּלֶךְ מִשָּׁם אֶל־יוֹשְׁבֵי דְּבִיר וְשֵׁם־דְּבִיר לְפָנִים קִרְיַת־סֵֽפֶר׃ | 11 |
And from there he went against the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before was Kirjathsepher:
| וַיֹּאמֶר כָּלֵב אֲשֶׁר־יַכֶּה אֶת־קִרְיַת־סֵפֶר וּלְכָדָהּ וְנָתַתִּי לוֹ אֶת־עַכְסָה בִתִּי לְאִשָּֽׁה׃ | 12 |
And Caleb said, He that smites Kirjathsepher, and takes it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.
| וַֽיִּלְכְּדָהּ עׇתְנִיאֵל בֶּן־קְנַז אֲחִי כָלֵב הַקָּטֹן מִמֶּנּוּ וַיִּתֶּן־לוֹ אֶת־עַכְסָה בִתּוֹ לְאִשָּֽׁה׃ | 13 |
And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.
| וַיְהִי בְּבוֹאָהּ וַתְּסִיתֵהוּ לִשְׁאֹל מֵֽאֵת־אָבִיהָ הַשָּׂדֶה וַתִּצְנַח מֵעַל הַחֲמוֹר וַיֹּֽאמֶר־לָהּ כָּלֵב מַה־לָּֽךְ׃ | 14 |
And it came to pass, when she came to him, that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she lighted from off her ass; and Caleb said to her, What will you?
| וַתֹּאמֶר לוֹ הָֽבָה־לִּי בְרָכָה כִּי אֶרֶץ הַנֶּגֶב נְתַתָּנִי וְנָתַתָּה לִי גֻּלֹּת מָיִם וַיִּתֶּן־לָהּ כָּלֵב אֵת גֻּלֹּת עִלִּית וְאֵת גֻּלֹּת תַּחְתִּֽית׃ | 15 |
And she said to him, Give me a blessing: for you have given me a south land; give me also springs of water. And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the nether springs.
| וּבְנֵי קֵינִי חֹתֵן מֹשֶׁה עָלוּ מֵעִיר הַתְּמָרִים אֶת־בְּנֵי יְהוּדָה מִדְבַּר יְהוּדָה אֲשֶׁר בְּנֶגֶב עֲרָד וַיֵּלֶךְ וַיֵּשֶׁב אֶת־הָעָֽם׃ | 16 |
And the children of the Kenite, Moses’ father in law, went up out of the city of palm trees with the children of Judah into the wilderness of Judah, which lies in the south of Arad; and they went and dwelled among the people.
| וַיֵּלֶךְ יְהוּדָה אֶת־שִׁמְעוֹן אָחִיו וַיַּכּוּ אֶת־הַֽכְּנַעֲנִי יוֹשֵׁב צְפַת וַיַּחֲרִימוּ אוֹתָהּ וַיִּקְרָא אֶת־שֵׁם־הָעִיר חׇרְמָֽה׃ | 17 |
And Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they slew the Canaanites that inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. And the name of the city was called Hormah.
| וַיִּלְכֹּד יְהוּדָה אֶת־עַזָּה וְאֶת־גְּבוּלָהּ וְאֶֽת־אַשְׁקְלוֹן וְאֶת־גְּבוּלָהּ וְאֶת־עֶקְרוֹן וְאֶת־גְּבוּלָֽהּ׃ | 18 |
Also Judah took Gaza with the coast thereof, and Askelon with the coast thereof, and Ekron with the coast thereof.
| וַיְהִי יְהֹוָה אֶת־יְהוּדָה וַיֹּרֶשׁ אֶת־הָהָר כִּי לֹא לְהוֹרִישׁ אֶת־יֹשְׁבֵי הָעֵמֶק כִּי־רֶכֶב בַּרְזֶל לָהֶֽם׃ | 19 |
And the LORD was with Judah; and he drove out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.
| וַיִּתְּנוּ לְכָלֵב אֶת־חֶבְרוֹן כַּאֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר מֹשֶׁה וַיּוֹרֶשׁ מִשָּׁם אֶת־שְׁלֹשָׁה בְּנֵי הָעֲנָֽק׃ | 20 |
And they gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses said: and he expelled there the three sons of Anak.
| וְאֶת־הַיְבוּסִי יֹשֵׁב יְרוּשָׁלַ͏ִם לֹא הוֹרִישׁוּ בְּנֵי בִנְיָמִן וַיֵּשֶׁב הַיְבוּסִי אֶת־בְּנֵי בִנְיָמִן בִּירוּשָׁלַ͏ִם עַד הַיּוֹם הַזֶּֽה׃ | 21 |
And the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites that inhabited Jerusalem; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.
| וַיַּעֲלוּ בֵית־יוֹסֵף גַּם־הֵם בֵּֽית־אֵל וַיהֹוָה עִמָּֽם׃ | 22 |
And the house of Joseph, they also went up against Bethel: and the LORD was with them.
| וַיָּתִירוּ בֵית־יוֹסֵף בְּבֵֽית־אֵל וְשֵׁם־הָעִיר לְפָנִים לֽוּז׃ | 23 |
And the house of Joseph sent to descry Bethel. (Now the name of the city before was Luz.)
| וַיִּרְאוּ הַשֹּׁמְרִים אִישׁ יוֹצֵא מִן־הָעִיר וַיֹּאמְרוּ לוֹ הַרְאֵנוּ נָא אֶת־מְבוֹא הָעִיר וְעָשִׂינוּ עִמְּךָ חָֽסֶד׃ | 24 |
And the spies saw a man come forth out of the city, and they said to him, Show us, we pray you, the entrance into the city, and we will show you mercy.
| וַיַּרְאֵם אֶת־מְבוֹא הָעִיר וַיַּכּוּ אֶת־הָעִיר לְפִי־חָרֶב וְאֶת־הָאִישׁ וְאֶת־כׇּל־מִשְׁפַּחְתּוֹ שִׁלֵּֽחוּ׃ | 25 |
And when he showed them the entrance into the city, they smote the city with the edge of the sword; but they let go the man and all his family.
| וַיֵּלֶךְ הָאִישׁ אֶרֶץ הַחִתִּים וַיִּבֶן עִיר וַיִּקְרָא שְׁמָהּ לוּז הוּא שְׁמָהּ עַד הַיּוֹם הַזֶּֽה׃ | 26 |
And the man went into the land of the Hittites, and built a city, and called the name thereof Luz: which is the name thereof to this day.
| וְלֹֽא־הוֹרִישׁ מְנַשֶּׁה אֶת־בֵּית־שְׁאָן וְאֶת־בְּנוֹתֶיהָ וְאֶת־תַּעְנַךְ וְאֶת־בְּנֹתֶיהָ וְאֶת־[יוֹשְׁבֵי] (יושב) דוֹר וְאֶת־בְּנוֹתֶיהָ וְאֶת־יוֹשְׁבֵי יִבְלְעָם וְאֶת־בְּנֹתֶיהָ וְאֶת־יוֹשְׁבֵי מְגִדּוֹ וְאֶת־בְּנוֹתֶיהָ וַיּוֹאֶל הַֽכְּנַעֲנִי לָשֶׁבֶת בָּאָרֶץ הַזֹּֽאת׃ | 27 |
Neither did Manasseh drive out the inhabitants of Bethshean and her towns, nor Taanach and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns: but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
| וַֽיְהִי כִּֽי־חָזַק יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיָּשֶׂם אֶת־הַֽכְּנַעֲנִי לָמַס וְהוֹרֵישׁ לֹא הוֹרִישֽׁוֹ׃ | 28 |
And it came to pass, when Israel was strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute, and did not utterly drive them out.
| וְאֶפְרַיִם לֹא הוֹרִישׁ אֶת־הַֽכְּנַעֲנִי הַיּוֹשֵׁב בְּגָזֶר וַיֵּשֶׁב הַֽכְּנַעֲנִי בְּקִרְבּוֹ בְּגָֽזֶר׃ | 29 |
Neither did Ephraim drive out the Canaanites that dwelled in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelled in Gezer among them.
| זְבוּלֻן לֹא הוֹרִישׁ אֶת־יוֹשְׁבֵי קִטְרוֹן וְאֶת־יוֹשְׁבֵי נַהֲלֹל וַיֵּשֶׁב הַֽכְּנַעֲנִי בְּקִרְבּוֹ וַיִּֽהְיוּ לָמַֽס׃ | 30 |
Neither did Zebulun drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites dwelled among them, and became tributaries.
| אָשֵׁר לֹא הוֹרִישׁ אֶת־יֹשְׁבֵי עַכּוֹ וְאֶת־יוֹשְׁבֵי צִידוֹן וְאֶת־אַחְלָב וְאֶת־אַכְזִיב וְאֶת־חֶלְבָּה וְאֶת־אֲפִיק וְאֶת־רְחֹֽב׃ | 31 |
Neither did Asher drive out the inhabitants of Accho, nor the inhabitants of Zidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of Aphik, nor of Rehob:
| וַיֵּשֶׁב הָאָשֵׁרִי בְּקֶרֶב הַֽכְּנַעֲנִי יֹשְׁבֵי הָאָרֶץ כִּי לֹא הֽוֹרִישֽׁוֹ׃ | 32 |
But the Asherites dwelled among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: for they did not drive them out.
| נַפְתָּלִי לֹֽא־הוֹרִישׁ אֶת־יֹשְׁבֵי בֵֽית־שֶׁמֶשׁ וְאֶת־יֹשְׁבֵי בֵית־עֲנָת וַיֵּשֶׁב בְּקֶרֶב הַֽכְּנַעֲנִי יֹשְׁבֵי הָאָרֶץ וְיֹשְׁבֵי בֵֽית־שֶׁמֶשׁ וּבֵית עֲנָת הָיוּ לָהֶם לָמַֽס׃ | 33 |
Neither did Naphtali drive out the inhabitants of Bethshemesh, nor the inhabitants of Bethanath; but he dwelled among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: nevertheless the inhabitants of Bethshemesh and of Bethanath became tributaries to them.
| וַיִּלְחֲצוּ הָאֱמֹרִי אֶת־בְּנֵי־דָן הָהָרָה כִּי־לֹא נְתָנוֹ לָרֶדֶת לָעֵֽמֶק׃ | 34 |
And the Amorites forced the children of Dan into the mountain: for they would not suffer them to come down to the valley:
| וַיּוֹאֶל הָאֱמֹרִי לָשֶׁבֶת בְּהַר־חֶרֶס בְּאַיָּלוֹן וּבְשַׁעַלְבִים וַתִּכְבַּד יַד בֵּית־יוֹסֵף וַיִּהְיוּ לָמַֽס׃ | 35 |
But the Amorites would dwell in mount Heres in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim: yet the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed, so that they became tributaries.
| וּגְבוּל הָאֱמֹרִי מִֽמַּעֲלֵה עַקְרַבִּים מֵהַסֶּלַע וָמָֽעְלָה׃ | 36 |
And the coast of the Amorites was from the going up to Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward.
