1. וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלִישָׁע שִׁמְעוּ דְּבַר־יְהוָה כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה כָּעֵת מָחָר סְאָה־סֹלֶת בְּשֶׁקֶל וְסָאתַיִם שְׂעֹרִים בְּשֶׁקֶל בְּשַׁעַר שֹׁמְרוֹן ׃
|
1. Then Elisha H477 said H559 , Hear H8085 ye the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 ; Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 , Tomorrow H4279 about this time H6256 shall a measure H5429 of fine flour H5560 be sold for a shekel H8255 , and two measures H5429 of barley H8184 for a shekel H8255 , in the gate H8179 of Samaria H8111 .
|
|
2. וַיַּעַן הַשָּׁלִישׁ אֲשֶׁר־לַמֶּלֶךְ נִשְׁעָן עַל־יָדוֹ אֶת־אִישׁ הָאֱלֹהִים וַיֹּאמַר הִנֵּה יְהוָה עֹשֶׂה אֲרֻבּוֹת בַּשָּׁמַיִם הֲיִהְיֶה הַדָּבָר הַזֶּה וַיֹּאמֶר הִנְּכָה רֹאֶה בְּעֵינֶיךָ וּמִשָּׁם לֹא תֹאכֵל ׃ ס
|
2. Then a lord H7991 on H5921 whose H834 hand H3027 the king H4428 leaned H8172 answered H6030 H853 the man H376 of God H430 , and said H559 , Behold H2009 , if the LORD H3068 would make H6213 windows H699 in heaven H8064 , might this H2088 thing H1697 be H1961 ? And he said H559 , Behold H2009 , thou shalt see H7200 it with thine eyes H5869 , but shalt not H3808 eat H398 thereof H4480 H8033 .
|
|
3. וְאַרְבָּעָה אֲנָשִׁים הָיוּ מְצֹרָעִים פֶּתַח הַשָּׁעַר וַיֹּאמְרוּ אִישׁ אֶל־רֵעֵהוּ מָה אֲנַחְנוּ יֹשְׁבִים פֹּה עַד־מָתְנוּ ׃
|
3. And there were H1961 four H702 leprous H6879 men H376 at the entering in H6607 of the gate H8179 : and they said H559 one H376 to H413 another H7453 , Why H4100 sit H3427 we H587 here H6311 until H5704 we die H4191 ?
|
|
4. אִם־אָמַרְנוּ נָבוֹא הָעִיר וְהָרָעָב בָּעִיר וָמַתְנוּ שָׁם וְאִם־יָשַׁבְנוּ פֹה וָמָתְנוּ וְעַתָּה לְכוּ וְנִפְּלָה אֶל־מַחֲנֵה אֲרָם אִם־יְחַיֻּנוּ נִחְיֶה וְאִם־יְמִיתֻנוּ וָמָתְנוּ ׃
|
4. If H518 we say H559 , We will enter H935 into the city H5892 , then the famine H7458 is in the city H5892 , and we shall die H4191 there H8033 : and if H518 we sit H3427 still here H6311 , we die H4191 also. Now H6258 therefore come H1980 , and let us fall H5307 unto H413 the host H4264 of the Syrians H758 : if H518 they save us alive H2421 , we shall live H2421 ; and if H518 they kill H4191 us , we shall but die H4191 .
|
|
5. וַיָּקוּמוּ בַנֶּשֶׁף לָבוֹא אֶל־מַחֲנֵה אֲרָם וַיָּבֹאוּ עַד־קְצֵה מַחֲנֵה אֲרָם וְהִנֵּה אֵין־שָׁם אִישׁ ׃
|
5. And they rose up H6965 in the twilight H5399 , to go H935 unto H413 the camp H4264 of the Syrians H758 : and when they were come H935 to H5704 the uttermost part H7097 of the camp H4264 of Syria H758 , behold H2009 , there was no H369 man H376 there H8033 .
|
|
6. וַאדֹנָי הִשְׁמִיעַ אֶת־מַחֲנֵה אֲרָם קוֹל רֶכֶב קוֹל סוּס קוֹל חַיִל גָּדוֹל וַיֹּאמְרוּ אִישׁ אֶל־אָחִיו הִנֵּה שָׂכַר־עָלֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת־מַלְכֵי הַחִתִּים וְאֶת־מַלְכֵי מִצְרַיִם לָבוֹא עָלֵינוּ ׃
|
6. For the Lord H136 had made H853 the host H4264 of the Syrians H758 to hear H8085 a noise H6963 of chariots H7393 , and a noise H6963 of horses H5483 , even the noise H6963 of a great H1419 host H2428 : and they said H559 one H376 to H413 another H251 , Lo H2009 , the king H4428 of Israel H3478 hath hired H7936 against H5921 us H853 the kings H4428 of the Hittites H2850 , and the kings H4428 of the Egyptians H4714 , to come H935 upon H5921 us.
|
|
7. וַיָּקוּמוּ וַיָּנוּסוּ בַנֶּשֶׁף וַיַּעַזְבוּ אֶת־אָהֳלֵיהֶם וְאֶת־סוּסֵיהֶם וְאֶת־חֲמֹרֵיהֶם הַמַּחֲנֶה כַּאֲשֶׁר־הִיא וַיָּנֻסוּ אֶל־נַפְשָׁם ׃
|
7. Wherefore they arose H6965 and fled H5127 in the twilight H5399 , and left H5800 H853 their tents H168 , and their horses H5483 , and their asses H2543 , even the camp H4264 as H834 it H1931 was , and fled H5127 for H413 their life H5315 .
|
|
8. וַיָּבֹאוּ הַמְצֹרָעִים הָאֵלֶּה עַד־קְצֵה הַמַּחֲנֶה וַיָּבֹאוּ אֶל־אֹהֶל אֶחָד וַיֹּאכְלוּ וַיִּשְׁתּוּ וַיִּשְׂאוּ מִשָּׁם כֶּסֶף וְזָהָב וּבְגָדִים וַיֵּלְכוּ וַיַּטְמִנוּ וַיָּשֻׁבוּ וַיָּבֹאוּ אֶל־אֹהֶל אַחֵר וַיִּשְׂאוּ מִשָּׁם וַיֵּלְכוּ וַיַּטְמִנוּ ׃
|
8. And when these H428 lepers H6879 came H935 to H5704 the uttermost part H7097 of the camp H4264 , they went H935 into H413 one H259 tent H168 , and did eat H398 and drink H8354 , and carried H5375 thence H4480 H8033 silver H3701 , and gold H2091 , and raiment H899 , and went H1980 and hid H2934 it ; and came again H7725 , and entered H935 into H413 another H312 tent H168 , and carried H5375 thence H4480 H8033 also , and went H1980 and hid H2934 it .
|
|
9. וַיֹּאמְרוּ אִישׁ אֶל־רֵעֵהוּ לֹא־כֵן אֲנַחְנוּ עֹשִׂים הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה יוֹם־בְּשֹׂרָה הוּא וַאֲנַחְנוּ מַחְשִׁים וְחִכִּינוּ עַד־אוֹר הַבֹּקֶר וּמְצָאָנוּ עָווֹן וְעַתָּה לְכוּ וְנָבֹאָה וְנַגִּידָה בֵּית הַמֶּלֶךְ ׃
|
9. Then they said H559 one H376 to H413 another H7453 , We H587 do H6213 not H3808 well H3651 : this H2088 day H3117 is a day H3117 of good tidings H1309 , and we H587 hold our peace H2814 : if we tarry H2442 till H5704 the morning H1242 light H216 , some mischief H5771 will come upon H4672 us: now H6258 therefore come H1980 , that we may go H935 and tell H5046 the king H4428 's household H1004 .
|
|
10. וַיָּבֹאוּ וַיִּקְרְאוּ אֶל־שֹׁעֵר הָעִיר וַיַּגִּידוּ לָהֶם לֵאמֹר בָּאנוּ אֶל־מַחֲנֵה אֲרָם וְהִנֵּה אֵין־שָׁם אִישׁ וְקוֹל אָדָם כִּי אִם־הַסּוּס אָסוּר וְהַחֲמוֹר אָסוּר וְאֹהָלִים כַּאֲשֶׁר־הֵמָּה ׃
|
10. So they came H935 and called H7121 unto H413 the porter H7778 of the city H5892 : and they told H5046 them, saying H559 , We came H935 to H413 the camp H4264 of the Syrians H758 , and, behold H2009 , there was no H369 man H376 there H8033 , neither voice H6963 of man H120 , but H3588 H518 horses H5483 tied H631 , and asses H2543 tied H631 , and the tents H168 as H834 they H1992 were .
|
|
11. וַיִּקְרָא הַשֹּׁעֲרִים וַיַּגִּידוּ בֵּית הַמֶּלֶךְ פְּנִימָה ׃
|
11. And he called H7121 the porters H7778 ; and they told H5046 it to the king H4428 's house H1004 within H6441 .
|
|
12. וַיָּקָם הַמֶּלֶךְ לַיְלָה וַיֹּאמֶר אֶל־עֲבָדָיו אַגִּידָה־נָּא לָכֶם אֵת אֲשֶׁר־עָשׂוּ לָנוּ אֲרָם יָדְעוּ כִּי־רְעֵבִים אֲנַחְנוּ וַיֵּצְאוּ מִן־הַמַּחֲנֶה לְהֵחָבֵה בְהַשָּׂדֶה לֵאמֹר כִּי־יֵצְאוּ מִן־הָעִיר וְנִתְפְּשֵׂם חַיִּים וְאֶל־הָעִיר נָבֹא ׃
|
12. And the king H4428 arose H6965 in the night H3915 , and said H559 unto H413 his servants H5650 , I will now H4994 show H5046 you H853 what H834 the Syrians H758 have done H6213 to us . They know H3045 that H3588 we H587 be hungry H7457 ; therefore are they gone out H3318 of H4480 the camp H4264 to hide themselves H2247 in the field H7704 , saying H559 , When H3588 they come out H3318 of H4480 the city H5892 , we shall catch H8610 them alive H2416 , and get H935 into H413 the city H5892 .
|
|
13. וַיַּעַן אֶחָד מֵעֲבָדָיו וַיֹּאמֶר וְיִקְחוּ־נָא חֲמִשָּׁה מִן־הַסּוּסִים הַנִּשְׁאָרִים אֲשֶׁר נִשְׁאֲרוּ־בָהּ הִנָּם כְּכָל־הֶהָמוֹן יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר נִשְׁאֲרוּ־בָהּ הִנָּם כְּכָל־הֲמוֹן יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר־תָּמּוּ וְנִשְׁלְחָה וְנִרְאֶה ׃
|
13. And one H259 of his servants H4480 H5650 answered H6030 and said H559 , Let some take H3947 , I pray thee H4994 , five H2568 of H4480 the horses H5483 that remain H7604 , which H834 are left H7604 in the city, ( behold H2009 , they are as all H3605 the multitude H1995 of Israel H3478 that H834 are left H7604 in it: behold H2009 , I say , they are even as all H3605 the multitude H1995 of the Israelites H3478 that H834 are consumed H8552 :) and let us send H7971 and see H7200 .
|
|
14. וַיִּקְחוּ שְׁנֵי רֶכֶב סוּסִים וַיִּשְׁלַח הַמֶּלֶךְ אַחֲרֵי מַחֲנֵה־אֲרָם לֵאמֹר לְכוּ וּרְאוּ ׃
|
14. They took H3947 therefore two H8147 chariot H7393 horses H5483 ; and the king H4428 sent H7971 after H310 the host H4264 of the Syrians H758 , saying H559 , Go H1980 and see H7200 .
|
|
15. וַיֵּלְכוּ אַחֲרֵיהֶם עַד־הַיַּרְדֵּן וְהִנֵּה כָל־הַדֶּרֶךְ מְלֵאָה בְגָדִים וְכֵלִים אֲשֶׁר־הִשְׁלִיכוּ אֲרָם בְּהֵחָפְזָם וַיָּשֻׁבוּ הַמַּלְאָכִים וַיַּגִּדוּ לַמֶּלֶךְ ׃
|
15. And they went H1980 after H310 them unto H5704 Jordan H3383 : and, lo H2009 , all H3605 the way H1870 was full H4392 of garments H899 and vessels H3627 , which H834 the Syrians H758 had cast away H7993 in their haste H2648 . And the messengers H4397 returned H7725 , and told H5046 the king H4428 .
|
|
16. וַיֵּצֵא הָעָם וַיָּבֹזּוּ אֵת מַחֲנֵה אֲרָם וַיְהִי סְאָה־סֹלֶת בְּשֶׁקֶל וְסָאתַיִם שְׂעֹרִים בְּשֶׁקֶל כִּדְבַר יְהוָה ׃
|
16. And the people H5971 went out H3318 , and spoiled H962 H853 the tents H4264 of the Syrians H758 . So a measure H5429 of fine flour H5560 was H1961 sold for a shekel H8255 , and two measures H5429 of barley H8184 for a shekel H8255 , according to the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 .
|
|
17. וְהַמֶּלֶךְ הִפְקִיד אֶת־הַשָּׁלִישׁ אֲשֶׁר־נִשְׁעָן עַל־יָדוֹ עַל־הַשַּׁעַר וַיִּרְמְסֻהוּ הָעָם בַּשַּׁעַר וַיָּמֹת כַּאֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר אִישׁ הָאֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר בְּרֶדֶת הַמֶּלֶךְ אֵלָיו ׃
|
17. And the king H4428 appointed H6485 H853 the lord H7991 on H5921 whose H834 hand H3027 he leaned H8172 to have the charge of H5921 the gate H8179 : and the people H5971 trod upon H7429 him in the gate H8179 , and he died H4191 , as H834 the man H376 of God H430 had said H1696 , who H834 spoke H1696 when the king H4428 came down H3381 to H413 him.
|
|
18. וַיְהִי כְּדַבֵּר אִישׁ הָאֱלֹהִים אֶל־הַמֶּלֶךְ לֵאמֹר סָאתַיִם שְׂעֹרִים בְּשֶׁקֶל וּסְאָה־סֹלֶת בְּשֶׁקֶל יִהְיֶה כָּעֵת מָחָר בְּשַׁעַר שֹׁמְרוֹן ׃
|
18. And it came to pass H1961 as the man H376 of God H430 had spoken H1696 to H413 the king H4428 , saying H559 , Two measures H5429 of barley H8184 for a shekel H8255 , and a measure H5429 of fine flour H5560 for a shekel H8255 , shall be H1961 tomorrow H4279 about this time H6256 in the gate H8179 of Samaria H8111 :
|
|
19. וַיַּעַן הַשָּׁלִישׁ אֶת־אִישׁ הָאֱלֹהִים וַיֹּאמַר וְהִנֵּה יְהוָה עֹשֶׂה אֲרֻבּוֹת בַּשָּׁמַיִם הֲיִהְיֶה כַּדָּבָר הַזֶּה וַיֹּאמֶר הִנְּךָ רֹאֶה בְּעֵינֶיךָ וּמִשָּׁם לֹא תֹאכֵל ׃
|
19. And that lord H7991 answered H6030 H853 the man H376 of God H430 , and said H559 , Now, behold H2009 , if the LORD H3068 should make H6213 windows H699 in heaven H8064 , might such H2088 a thing H1697 be H1961 ? And he said H559 , Behold H2009 , thou shalt see H7200 it with thine eyes H5869 , but shalt not H3808 eat H398 thereof H4480 H8033 .
|
|
20. וַיְהִי־לוֹ כֵּן וַיִּרְמְסוּ אֹתוֹ הָעָם בַּשַּׁעַר וַיָּמֹת ׃ ס
|
20. And so H3651 it fell out H1961 unto him : for the people H5971 trod upon H7429 him in the gate H8179 , and he died H4191 .
