3 And these were of the father of Etam: Jezreel, Ishma, and Idbash, and the name of their sister was Hazelelponi.

11 ¶ And Chelub, the brother of Shuah, begat Mehir, who was the father of Eshton.

24 ¶ The sons of Simeon: Nemuel, Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, Saul;
25 also Shallum, his son, Mibsam, his son, and Mishma, his son.
26 The sons of Mishma: Hamuel, his son, Zacchur, his son, Shimei his son.
27 And Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters, but his brethren did not have many children, neither did all their family multiply, like the sons of Judah.
28 And they dwelt at Beersheba and Moladah and Hazarshual
29 and at Bilhah and at Ezem and at Tolad
30 and at Bethuel and at Hormah and at Ziklag
31 and at Bethmarcaboth and Hazarsusim and at Bethbirei and at Shaaraim. These were their cities until the reign of David.

39 And they came unto the entrance of Gedor, even unto the east side of the valley, to seek pasture for their flocks.
40 And they found fat pasture and good, and the land was wide and spacious and quiet and peaceable, for the sons of Ham had dwelt there of old.
41 And these written by name came in the days of Hezekiah, king of Judah and smote their tents and the habitations that were found there and destroyed them utterly unto this day and dwelt in their place because there was pasture there for their flocks.
42 And likewise five hundred men of them, of the sons of Simeon, went to Mount Seir, having for their captains Pelatiah and Neariah and Rephaiah and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi.
43 And they smote the rest of the Amalekites that were escaped and dwelt there unto this day.
9 ¶ Nevertheless the first had its justifications of worship and its worldly sanctuary.
2 For there was a tabernacle made: the first, in which was the lampstand and the table and the showbread, which is called the sanctuary.
3 And after the second veil was the tabernacle which is called the holy of holies,
4 which had a golden censer and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, in which was the golden urn that had the manna, and Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tables of the testament,
5 and over it the cherubim of glory shadowing the seat of reconciliation, of which we cannot now speak particularly.
6 Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God.
7 But into the second the high priest went alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for his own ignorance, and for that of the people:
8 ¶ The Holy Spirit signifying in this, that the way into the sanctuary was not yet made manifest, as long as the first tabernacle was yet standing:
9 Which was a figure of that time present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience,
10 but in foods and drinks and different washings and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of correction.
11 But Christ being now come, high priest of the good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation,
12 neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the sanctuary designed for eternal redemption.
13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctified to the purifying of the flesh,
14 how much more shall the blood of the Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from the works of death to serve the living God?
15 ¶ And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, so that death intervening for the redemption of the rebellions that took place under the first testament, those who are called might receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity intervene the death of the testator.
17 For a testament is confirmed by the death: otherwise it is not valid as long as the testator lives.
18 From which came that not even the first one was dedicated without blood.
19 For when Moses had read every commandment of the law to all the people, taking the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, he sprinkled both the book and all the people,
20 saying, This is the blood of the testament which God has commanded unto you.
21 Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry.
22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no remission.
23 ¶ So that it was necessary that the figures of the heavenly things should be purified with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
24 For Christ is not entered into the sanctuary made with hands (which is a figure of the true), but into the heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us,
25 nor yet that he should offer himself many times (as the high priest enters into the sanctuary each year with blood that is not his own);
26 otherwise it would have been necessary for him to suffer many times since the foundation of the world; but now once in the consummation of the ages he has appeared to abolish sin by the sacrifice of himself.
27 And as it is appointed unto men to die once, and after this the judgment;
28 so also the Christ is offered once to take away the sins of many; and unto those that wait for him without sin he shall appear the second time unto saving health.
3 ¶ Hear this word that the LORD hath spoken against you, O sons of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying,
2 You only have I known of all the families of the earth; therefore, I will visit all your iniquities against you.
3 Can two walk together except they be agreed?
4 Will a lion roar in the forest when he has no prey? Will a young lion cry out of his den if he has taken nothing?
5 Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth without a fowler? Shall the snare rise up from the earth and have taken nothing at all?
6 Shall the shofar be blown in the city and the people not be afraid? Shall there be any evil in the city which the LORD has not done?
7 Because the Lord GOD will do nothing unless he reveals his secret to his slaves the prophets.
8 The lion has roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD has spoken, who can but prophesy?
9 ¶ Publish upon the palaces of Ashdod and upon the palaces of the land of Egypt and say, Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria and behold the great oppression in the midst thereof and the great violence in the midst thereof.
10 For they do not know to do right, said the LORD, storing up violence and robbery in their palaces.
11 Therefore thus said the Lord GOD: An adversary there shall be even round about the land, and he shall bring down thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shall be spoiled.
12 Thus hath the LORD said: As the pastor takes out of the mouth of the lion two legs or a piece of an ear, so shall the sons of Israel escape that dwell in Samaria in the corner of the bed and at the border of the couch.
13 Hear ye, and protest in the house of Jacob, said the Lord GOD, the God of the hosts,
14 that in the day that I shall visit the rebellions of Israel upon him, I will also visit upon the altars of Bethel, and the horns of the altar shall be cut off and fall to the ground.
15 And I will smite the winter house with the summer house, and the houses of ivory shall perish, and many houses shall be cut off, said the LORD.
1 ¶ Halelu-JAH. Praise the LORD, O my soul.
2 In my life I will praise the LORD; I will sing praises unto my God while I live.
3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man in whom there is no salvation.
4 His spirit shall go forth, he shall return to his earth; in that very day all his thoughts shall perish.
5 ¶ Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God;
6 who made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is therein; who keeps truth for ever:
7 He who does justice unto the oppressed; who gives bread to the hungry. The LORD looses the prisoners:
8 The LORD opens the eyes of the blind; the LORD raises those that are bowed down; the LORD loves the righteous:
9 The LORD preserves the strangers; he raises up the fatherless and widow; but the way of the wicked he turns upside down.
10 The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, from generation to generation. Halelu-JAH.
1 ¶ Halelu-JAH: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for praise is pleasant and beautiful.
2 The LORD, he who builds up Jerusalem; shall gather together the outcasts of Israel.
3 He heals the broken hearted, and he binds up their wounds.
4 He counts the number of the stars and calls them all by their names.
5 Great is our Lord and of great power; his intelligence is infinite.
6 The LORD lifts up the humble; he casts the wicked down to the earth.
7 Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God:
8 Who covers the heavens with clouds, who prepares the rain for the earth, who makes grass to grow upon the mountains.
9 He who gives the beast his food and to the sons of the ravens which cry unto him.
10 He does not delight in the strength of the horse; nor does he take pleasure in the legs of a man.
11 The LORD takes pleasure in those that fear him, in those that wait upon his mercy.
12 ¶ Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.
13 For he has strengthened the bars of thy gates; he has blessed thy sons within thee.
14 He who makes peace to be thy borders shall fill thee with the finest of the wheat.
15 He sends forth his word upon earth; his word runs very swiftly.
16 He who gives snow like wool scatters the hoarfrost like ashes.
17 He casts forth his ice like morsels; who can stand before his cold?
18 He shall send forth his word and melt them; his wind shall blow, and the waters shall flow.
19 He declares his words unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel.
20 He has not dealt so with the other nations, which have not known his judgments. Halelu-JAH.
