1. And at Solomon`s finishing to pray, then the fire hath come down from the heavens, and consumeth the burnt-offering and the sacrifices, and the honour of Jehovah hath filled the house,
|
1. Now when Solomon H8010 had made an end H3615 of praying H6419 , the fire H784 came down H3381 from heaven H4480 H8064 , and consumed H398 the burnt offering H5930 and the sacrifices H2077 ; and the glory H3519 of the LORD H3068 filled H4390 H853 the house H1004 .
|
|
2. and the priests have not been able to go in unto the house of Jehovah, because the honour of Jehovah hath filled the house of Jehovah.
|
2. And the priests H3548 could H3201 not H3808 enter H935 into H413 the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 , because H3588 the glory H3519 of the LORD H3068 had filled H4390 H853 the LORD H3068 's house H1004 .
|
|
3. And all the sons of Israel are looking on the descending of the fire, and the honour of Jehovah on the house, and they bow -- faces to the earth -- on the pavement, and do obeisance, and give thanks to Jehovah, for good, for to the age is His kindness.
|
3. And when all H3605 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 saw H7200 how the fire H784 came down H3381 , and the glory H3519 of the LORD H3068 upon H5921 the house H1004 , they bowed H3766 themselves with their faces H639 to the ground H776 upon H5921 the pavement H7531 , and worshiped H7812 , and praised H3034 the LORD H3068 , saying , For H3588 he is good H2896 ; for H3588 his mercy H2617 endureth forever H5769 .
|
|
4. And the king and all the people are sacrificing a sacrifice before Jehovah,
|
4. Then the king H4428 and all H3605 the people H5971 offered H2076 sacrifices H2077 before H6440 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
5. and king Solomon sacrificeth the sacrifice of the herd, twenty and two thousand, and of the flock, a hundred and twenty thousand, and the king and all the people dedicate the house of God.
|
5. And king H4428 Solomon H8010 offered H2076 H853 a sacrifice H2077 of twenty H6242 and two H8147 thousand H505 oxen H1241 , and a hundred H3967 and twenty H6242 thousand H505 sheep H6629 : so the king H4428 and all H3605 the people H5971 dedicated H2596 H853 the house H1004 of God H430 .
|
|
6. And the priests over their charges are standing, and the Levites with instruments of the song of Jehovah -- that David the king made, to give thanks to Jehovah, for to the age is His kindness, in David`s praising by their hand -- and the priests are blowing trumpets over-against them, and all Israel are standing.
|
6. And the priests H3548 waited H5975 on H5921 their offices H4931 : the Levites H3881 also with instruments H3627 of music H7892 of the LORD H3068 , which H834 David H1732 the king H4428 had made H6213 to praise H3034 the LORD H3068 , because H3588 his mercy H2617 endureth forever H5769 , when David H1732 praised H1984 by their ministry H3027 ; and the priests H3548 sounded H2690 trumpets before H5048 them , and all H3605 Israel H3478 stood H5975 .
|
|
7. And Solomon sanctifieth the middle of the court that is before the house of Jehovah, for he hath made there the burnt-offerings, and the fat of the peace-offerings: for the altar of brass that Solomon made hath not been able to contain the burnt-offering, and the present, and the fat.
|
7. Moreover Solomon H8010 hallowed H6942 H853 the middle H8432 of the court H2691 that H834 was before H6440 the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 : for H3588 there H8033 he offered H6213 burnt offerings H5930 , and the fat H2459 of the peace offerings H8002 , because H3588 the brazen H5178 altar H4196 which H834 Solomon H8010 had made H6213 was not able H3201 H3808 to receive H3557 H853 the burnt offerings H5930 , and the meat offerings H4503 , and the fat H2459 .
|
|
8. And solomon maketh the feast at that time seven days, and all Israel with him -- a very great assembly -- from the entering in of Hamath unto the brook of Egypt.
|
8. Also at the same H1931 time H6256 Solomon H8010 kept H6213 H853 the feast H2282 seven H7651 days H3117 , and all H3605 Israel H3478 with H5973 him , a very H3966 great H1419 congregation H6951 , from the entering in H4480 H935 of Hamath H2574 unto H5704 the river H5158 of Egypt H4714 .
|
|
9. And they make on the eighth day a restraint, because the dedication of the altar they have made seven days, and the feast seven days.
|
9. And in the eighth H8066 day H3117 they made H6213 a solemn assembly H6116 : for H3588 they kept H6213 the dedication H2598 of the altar H4196 seven H7651 days H3117 , and the feast H2282 seven H7651 days H3117 .
|
|
10. And on the twenty and third day of the seventh month he hath sent the people to their tents, rejoicing, and glad in heart, for the goodness that Jehovah hath done to David, and to Solomon, and to Israel His people.
|
10. And on the three H7969 and twentieth H6242 day H3117 of the seventh H7637 month H2320 he sent H7971 H853 the people H5971 away into their tents H168 , glad H8056 and merry H2896 in heart H3820 for H5921 the goodness H2896 that H834 the LORD H3068 had showed H6213 unto David H1732 , and to Solomon H8010 , and to Israel H3478 his people H5971 .
|
|
11. And Solomon finisheth the house of Jehovah, and the house of the king; and all that hath come on the heart of Solomon to do in the house of Jehovah, and in his own house, he hath caused to prosper.
|
11. Thus Solomon H8010 finished H3615 H853 the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 , and the king H4428 's house H1004 : and all H3605 that came H935 into H5921 Solomon H8010 's heart H3820 to make H6213 in the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 , and in his own house H1004 , he prosperously effected H6743 .
|
|
12. And Jehovah appeareth unto Solomon by night, and saith to him, `I have heard thy prayer, and have fixed on this place to Me for a house of sacrifice.
|
12. And the LORD H3068 appeared H7200 to H413 Solomon H8010 by night H3915 , and said H559 unto him , I have heard H8085 H853 thy prayer H8605 , and have chosen H977 this H2088 place H4725 to myself for a house H1004 of sacrifice H2077 .
|
|
13. If I restrain the heavens and there is no rain, and if I lay charge on the locust to consume the land, and if I send pestilence among My people --
|
13. If H2005 I shut up H6113 heaven H8064 that there be H1961 no H3808 rain H4306 , or if H2005 I command H6680 H5921 the locusts H2284 to devour H398 the land H776 , or if H518 I send H7971 pestilence H1698 among my people H5971 ;
|
|
14. and My people on whom My name is called be humbled, and pray, and seek My face, and turn back from their evil ways, then I -- I hear from the heavens, and forgive their sin, and heal their land.
|
14. If my people H5971 , which H834 are called H7121 H5921 by my name H8034 , shall humble themselves H3665 , and pray H6419 , and seek H1245 my face H6440 , and turn H7725 from their wicked H7451 ways H4480 H1870 ; then will I H589 hear H8085 from H4480 heaven H8064 , and will forgive H5545 their sin H2403 , and will heal H7495 H853 their land H776 .
|
|
15. `Now, Mine eyes are open, and Mine ears attentive, to the prayer of this place;
|
15. Now H6258 mine eyes H5869 shall be H1961 open H6605 , and mine ears H241 attent H7183 unto the prayer H8605 that is made in this H2088 place H4725 .
|
|
16. and now, I have chosen and sanctified this house for My name being there unto the age; yea, Mine eyes and My heart have been there all the days.
|
16. For now H6258 have I chosen H977 and sanctified H6942 H853 this H2088 house H1004 , that my name H8034 may be H1961 there H8033 forever H5704 H5769 : and mine eyes H5869 and mine heart H3820 shall be H1961 there H8033 perpetually H3605 H3117 .
|
|
17. `And thou, if thou dost walk before Me as David thy father walked, even to do according to all that I have commanded thee, and My statutes and My judgments dost keep --
|
17. And as for thee H859 , if H518 thou wilt walk H1980 before H6440 me, as H834 David H1732 thy father H1 walked H1980 , and do H6213 according to all H3605 that H834 I have commanded H6680 thee , and shalt observe H8104 my statutes H2706 and my judgments H4941 ;
|
|
18. then I have established the throne of thy kingdom, as I covenanted with David thy father, saying, There is not cut off a man to thee -- a ruler in Israel;
|
18. Then will I establish H6965 H853 the throne H3678 of thy kingdom H4438 , according as H834 I have covenanted H3772 with David H1732 thy father H1 , saying H559 , There shall not H3808 fail H3772 thee a man H376 to be ruler H4910 in Israel H3478 .
|
|
19. and if ye turn back -- ye -- and have forsaken My statutes, and My commands, that I have placed before you, and have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them -- then I have plucked them from off My ground that I have given to them,
|
19. But if H518 ye H859 turn away H7725 , and forsake H5800 my statutes H2708 and my commandments H4687 , which H834 I have set H5414 before H6440 you , and shall go H1980 and serve H5647 other H312 gods H430 , and worship H7812 them;
|
|
20. and this house that I have sanctified for My name, I cast from before My face, and make it for a proverb, and for a byword, among all the peoples.
|
20. Then will I pluck them up by the roots H5428 out of H4480 H5921 my land H127 which H834 I have given H5414 them ; and this H2088 house H1004 , which H834 I have sanctified H6942 for my name H8034 , will I cast out H7993 of H4480 H5921 my sight H6440 , and will make H5414 it to be a proverb H4912 and a byword H8148 among all H3605 nations H5971 .
|
|
21. `And this house that hath been high, to every one passing by it, is an astonishment, and he hath said, Wherefore hath Jehovah done thus to this land, and to this house?
|
21. And this H2088 house H1004 , which H834 is H1961 high H5945 , shall be an astonishment H8074 to every one H3605 that passeth H5674 by H5921 it ; so that he shall say H559 , Why H4100 hath the LORD H3068 done H6213 thus H3602 unto this H2063 land H776 , and unto this H2088 house H1004 ?
|
|
22. and they have said, Because that they have forsaken Jehovah, God of their fathers, who brought them out from the land of Egypt, and lay hold on other gods, and bow themselves to them, and serve them, therefore He hath brought upon them all this evil.`
|
22. And it shall be answered H559 , Because H5921 H834 they forsook H5800 H853 the LORD H3068 God H430 of their fathers H1 , which H834 brought them forth H3318 out of the land H4480 H776 of Egypt H4714 , and laid hold H2388 on other H312 gods H430 , and worshiped H7812 them , and served H5647 them: therefore H5921 H3651 hath he brought H935 H853 all H3605 this H2063 evil H7451 upon H5921 them.
