3. וַיְהִי בִּשְׁמֹנֶה עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָה לַמֶּלֶךְ יֹאשִׁיָּהוּ שָׁלַח הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶת־שָׁפָן בֶּן־אֲצַלְיָהוּ בֶן־מְשֻׁלָּם הַסֹּפֵר בֵּית יְהוָה לֵאמֹר׃

4. עֲלֵה אֶל־חִלְקִיָּהוּ הַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדֹול וְיַתֵּם אֶת־הַכֶּסֶף הַמּוּבָא בֵּית יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר אָסְפוּ שֹׁמְרֵי הַסַּף מֵאֵת הָעָם׃
|

|
|
5. וְיִתְּנֹה כ (וְיִתְּנֻהוּ ק) עַל־יַד עֹשֵׂי הַמְּלָאכָה הַמֻּפְקָדִים בְּבֵית כ (בֵּית ק) יְהוָה וְיִתְּנוּ אֹתֹו לְעֹשֵׂי הַמְּלָאכָה אֲשֶׁר בְּבֵית יְהוָה לְחַזֵּק בֶּדֶק הַבָּיִת׃
|

|
|
6. לֶחָרָשִׁים וְלַבֹּנִים וְלַגֹּדְרִים וְלִקְנֹות עֵצִים וְאַבְנֵי מַחְצֵב לְחַזֵּק אֶת־הַבָּיִת׃

7. אַךְ לֹא־יֵחָשֵׁב אִתָּם הַכֶּסֶף הַנִּתָּן עַל־יָדָם כִּי בֶאֱמוּנָה הֵם עֹשִׂים׃
|
7. Howbeit H389 there was no H3808 reckoning H2803 made with H854 them of the money H3701 that was delivered H5414 into H5921 their hand H3027 , because H3588 they H1992 dealt H6213 faithfully H530 .
|
|
8. וַיֹּאמֶר חִלְקִיָּהוּ הַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדֹול עַל־שָׁפָן הַסֹּפֵר סֵפֶר הַתֹּורָה מָצָאתִי בְּבֵית יְהוָה וַיִּתֵּן חִלְקִיָּה אֶת־הַסֵּפֶר אֶל־שָׁפָן וַיִּקְרָאֵהוּ׃

|
9. And Shaphan H8227 the scribe H5608 came H935 to H413 the king H4428 , and brought the king word again H7725 H853 H4428 H1697 , and said H559 , Thy servants H5650 have gathered H5413 H853 the money H3701 that was found H4672 in the house H1004 , and have delivered H5414 it into H5921 the hand H3027 of them that do H6213 the work H4399 , that have the oversight H6485 of the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 .
|
|
10. וַיַּגֵּד שָׁפָן הַסֹּפֵר לַמֶּלֶךְ לֵאמֹר סֵפֶר נָתַן לִי חִלְקִיָּה הַכֹּהֵן וַיִּקְרָאֵהוּ שָׁפָן לִפְנֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ׃

|
|
11. וַיְהִי כִּשְׁמֹעַ הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶת־דִּבְרֵי סֵפֶר הַתֹּורָה וַיִּקְרַע אֶת־בְּגָדָיו׃
|
11. And it came to pass H1961 , when the king H4428 had heard H8085 H853 the words H1697 of the book H5612 of the law H8451 , that he rent H7167 H853 his clothes H899 .
|
|
12. וַיְצַו הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶת־חִלְקִיָּה הַכֹּהֵן וְאֶת־אֲחִיקָם בֶּןשָׁ־פָן וְאֶת־עַכְבֹּור בֶּן־מִיכָיָה וְאֵת ׀ שָׁפָן הַסֹּפֵר וְאֵת עֲשָׂיָה עֶבֶד־הַמֶּלֶךְ לֵאמֹר׃
|
12. And the king H4428 commanded H6680 H853 Hilkiah H2518 the priest H3548 , and Ahikam H296 the son H1121 of Shaphan H8227 , and Achbor H5907 the son H1121 of Michaiah H4320 , and Shaphan H8227 the scribe H5608 , and Asahiah H6222 a servant H5650 of the king H4428 's, saying H559 ,
|
|
13. לְכוּ דִרְשׁוּ אֶת־יְהוָה בַּעֲדִי וּבְעַד־הָעָם וּבְעַד כָּל־יְהוּדָה עַל־דִּבְרֵי הַסֵּפֶר הַנִּמְצָא הַזֶּה כִּי־גְדֹולָה חֲמַת יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר־הִיא נִצְּתָה בָנוּ עַל אֲשֶׁר לֹא־שָׁמְעוּ אֲבֹתֵינוּ עַל־דִּבְרֵי הַסֵּפֶר הַזֶּה לַעֲשֹׂות כְּכָל־הַכָּתוּב עָלֵינוּ׃
|
13. Go H1980 ye, inquire H1875 of H853 the LORD H3068 for H1157 me , and for H1157 the people H5971 , and for H1157 all H3605 Judah H3063 , concerning H5921 the words H1697 of this H2088 book H5612 that is found H4672 : for H3588 great H1419 is the wrath H2534 of the LORD H3068 that H834 is kindled H3341 against us, because H5921 H834 our fathers H1 have not H3808 hearkened H8085 unto H5921 the words H1697 of this H2088 book H5612 , to do H6213 according unto all H3605 that which is written H3789 concerning H5921 us.
|
|
14. וַיֵּלֶךְ חִלְקִיָּהוּ הַכֹּהֵן וַאֲחִיקָם וְעַכְבֹּור וְשָׁפָן וַעֲשָׂיָה אֶל־חֻלְדָּה הַנְּבִיאָה אֵשֶׁת ׀ שַׁלֻּם בֶּן־תִּקְוָה בֶּן־חַרְחַס שֹׁמֵר הַבְּגָדִים וְהִיא יֹשֶׁבֶת בִּירוּשָׁלִַם בַּמִּשְׁנֶה וַיְדַבְּרוּ אֵלֶיהָ׃
|
14. So Hilkiah H2518 the priest H3548 , and Ahikam H296 , and Achbor H5907 , and Shaphan H8227 , and Asahiah H6222 , went H1980 unto H413 Huldah H2468 the prophetess H5031 , the wife H802 of Shallum H7967 the son H1121 of Tikvah H8616 , the son H1121 of Harhas H2745 , keeper H8104 of the wardrobe H899 ; (now she H1931 dwelt H3427 in Jerusalem H3389 in the college H4932 ;) and they communed H1696 with H413 her.
|
|
15. וַתֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם כֹּה־אָמַר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אִמְרוּ לָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר־שָׁלַח אֶתְכֶם אֵלָי׃
|
15. And she said H559 unto H413 them, Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478 , Tell H559 the man H376 that H834 sent H7971 you to H413 me,
|
|
16. כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה הִנְנִי מֵבִיא רָעָה אֶל־הַמָּקֹום הַזֶּה וְעַל־יֹשְׁבָיו אֵת כָּל־דִּבְרֵי הַסֵּפֶר אֲשֶׁר קָרָא מֶלֶךְ יְהוּדָה׃
|
16. Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 , Behold H2009 , I will bring H935 evil H7451 upon H413 this H2088 place H4725 , and upon H5921 the inhabitants H3427 thereof, even H853 all H3605 the words H1697 of the book H5612 which H834 the king H4428 of Judah H3063 hath read H7121 :
|
|
17. תַּחַת ׀ אֲשֶׁר עֲזָבוּנִי וַיְקַטְּרוּ לֵאלֹהִים אֲחֵרִים לְמַעַן הַכְעִיסֵנִי בְּכֹל מַעֲשֵׂה יְדֵיהֶם וְנִצְּתָה חֲמָתִי בַּמָּקֹום הַזֶּה וְלֹא תִכְבֶּה׃
|
17. Because H8478 H834 they have forsaken H5800 me , and have burned incense H6999 unto other H312 gods H430 , that H4616 they might provoke me to anger H3707 with all H3605 the works H4639 of their hands H3027 ; therefore my wrath H2534 shall be kindled H3341 against this H2088 place H4725 , and shall not H3808 be quenched H3518 .
|
|
18. וְאֶל־מֶלֶךְ יְהוּדָה הַשֹּׁלֵחַ אֶתְכֶם לִדְרֹשׁ אֶת־יְהוָה כֹּה תֹאמְרוּ אֵלָיו כֹּה־אָמַר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל הַדְּבָרִים אֲשֶׁר שָׁמָעְתָּ׃
|
18. But to H413 the king H4428 of Judah H3063 which sent H7971 you to inquire H1875 of H853 the LORD H3068 , thus H3541 shall ye say H559 to H413 him, Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478 , As touching the words H1697 which H834 thou hast heard H8085 ;
|
|
19. יַעַן רַךְ־לְבָבְךָ וַתִּכָּנַע ׀ מִפְּנֵי יְהוָה בְּשָׁמְעֲךָ אֲשֶׁר דִּבַּרְתִּי עַל־הַמָּקֹום הַזֶּה וְעַל־יֹשְׁבָיו לִהְיֹות לְשַׁמָּה וְלִקְלָלָה וַתִּקְרַע אֶת־בְּגָדֶיךָ וַתִּבְכֶּה לְפָנָי וְגַם אָנֹכִי שָׁמַעְתִּי נְאֻם־יְהוָה׃
|
19. Because H3282 thine heart H3824 was tender H7401 , and thou hast humbled thyself H3665 before H4480 H6440 the LORD H3068 , when thou heardest H8085 what H834 I spoke H1696 against H5921 this H2088 place H4725 , and against H5921 the inhabitants H3427 thereof , that they should become H1961 a desolation H8047 and a curse H7045 , and hast rent H7167 H853 thy clothes H899 , and wept H1058 before H6440 me; I H595 also H1571 have heard H8085 thee , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
20. לָכֵן הִנְנִי אֹסִפְךָ עַל־אֲבֹתֶיךָ וְנֶאֱסַפְתָּ אֶל־קִבְרֹתֶיךָ בְּשָׁלֹום וְלֹא־תִרְאֶינָה עֵינֶיךָ בְּכֹל הָרָעָה אֲשֶׁר־אֲנִי מֵבִיא עַל־הַמָּקֹום הַזֶּה וַיָּשִׁיבוּ אֶת־הַמֶּלֶךְ דָּבָר׃
|
20. Behold H2009 therefore H3651 , I will gather H622 thee unto H5921 thy fathers H1 , and thou shalt be gathered H622 into H413 thy grave H6913 in peace H7965 ; and thine eyes H5869 shall not H3808 see H7200 all H3605 the evil H7451 which H834 I H589 will bring H935 upon H5921 this H2088 place H4725 . And they brought H7725 H853 the king H4428 word H1697 again.
