- 1In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live.בַּיָּמִ֣ים הָהֵ֔ם חָלָ֥ה חִזְקִיָּ֖הוּ לָמ֑וּת וַיָּבֹ֣א אֵ֠לָיו יְשַׁעְיָ֨הוּ בֶן אָמ֜וֹץ הַנָּבִ֗יא וַיֹּ֨אמֶר אֵלָ֜יו כֹּֽה אָמַ֤ר יְהוָה֙ צַ֣ו לְבֵיתֶ֔ךָ כִּ֛י מֵ֥ת אַתָּ֖ה וְלֹ֥א תִֽחְיֶֽה
- 2Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto the LORD, saying,וַיַּסֵּ֥ב אֶת פָּנָ֖יו אֶל הַקִּ֑יר וַיִּ֨תְפַּלֵּ֔ל אֶל יְהוָ֖ה לֵאמֹֽר
- 3I beseech thee, O LORD, remember now how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.אָנָּ֣ה יְהוָ֗ה זְכָר נָ֞א אֵ֣ת אֲשֶׁ֧ר הִתְהַלַּ֣כְתִּי לְפָנֶ֗יךָ בֶּֽאֱמֶת֙ וּבְלֵבָ֣ב שָׁלֵ֔ם וְהַטּ֥וֹב בְּעֵינֶ֖יךָ עָשִׂ֑יתִי וַיֵּ֥בְךְּ חִזְקִיָּ֖הוּ בְּכִ֥י גָדֽוֹל
- 4And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone out into the middle court, that the word of the LORD came to him, saying,וַיְהִ֣י יְשַׁעְיָ֔הוּ לֹ֣א יָצָ֔א העיר חָצֵ֖ר הַתִּֽיכֹנָ֑ה וּדְבַר יְהוָ֔ה הָיָ֥ה אֵלָ֖יו לֵאמֹֽר
- 5Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the LORD.שׁ֣וּב וְאָמַרְתָּ֞ אֶל חִזְקִיָּ֣הוּ נְגִיד עַמִּ֗י כֹּֽה אָמַ֤ר יְהוָה֙ אֱלֹהֵי֙ דָּוִ֣ד אָבִ֔יךָ שָׁמַ֨עְתִּי֙ אֶת תְּפִלָּתֶ֔ךָ רָאִ֖יתִי אֶת דִּמְעָתֶ֑ךָ הִנְנִי֙ רֹ֣פֶא בַּיּוֹם֙ הַשְּׁלִישִׁ֔י תַּעֲלֶ֖ה בֵּ֥ית יְהוָֽה
- 6And I will add unto thy days fifteen years; and I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.וְהֹסַפְתִּ֣י עַל יָמֶ֗יךָ חֲמֵ֤שׁ עֶשְׂרֵה֙ שָׁנָ֔ה וּמִכַּ֤ף מֶֽלֶךְ אַשּׁוּר֙ אַצִּ֣ילְךָ֔ וְאֵ֖ת הָעִ֣יר הַזֹּ֑את וְגַנּוֹתִי֙ עַל הָעִ֣יר הַזֹּ֔את לְמַֽעֲנִ֔י וּלְמַ֖עַן דָּוִ֥ד עַבְדִּֽי
- 7And Isaiah said, Take a lump of figs. And they took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered.וַיֹּ֣אמֶר יְשַֽׁעְיָ֔הוּ קְח֖וּ דְּבֶ֣לֶת תְּאֵנִ֑ים וַיִּקְח֛וּ וַיָּשִׂ֥ימוּ עַֽל הַשְּׁחִ֖ין וַיֶּֽחִי
- 8And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, What shall be the sign that the LORD will heal me, and that I shall go up into the house of the LORD the third day?וַיֹּ֤אמֶר חִזְקִיָּ֨הוּ֙ אֶֽל יְשַׁעְיָ֔הוּ מָ֣ה א֔וֹת כִּֽי יִרְפָּ֥א יְהוָ֖ה וְעָלִ֛יתִי בַּיּ֥וֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁ֖י בֵּ֥ית יְהוָֽה
- 9And Isaiah said, This sign shalt thou have of the LORD, that the LORD will do the thing that he hath spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten degrees, or go back ten degrees?וַיֹּ֣אמֶר יְשַׁעְיָ֗הוּ זֶה הָאוֹת֙ מֵאֵ֣ת יְהוָ֔ה כִּ֚י יַעֲשֶׂ֣ה יְהוָ֔ה אֶת הַדָּבָ֖ר אֲשֶׁ֣ר דִּבֵּ֑ר הָלַ֤ךְ הַצֵּל֙ עֶ֣שֶׂר מַֽעֲל֔וֹת אִם יָשׁ֖וּב עֶ֥שֶׂר מַעֲלֽוֹת
- 10And Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees: nay, but let the shadow return backward ten degrees.וַיֹּ֨אמֶר֙ יְחִזְקִיָּ֔הוּ נָקֵ֣ל לַצֵּ֔ל לִנְט֖וֹת עֶ֣שֶׂר מַעֲל֑וֹת לֹ֣א כִ֔י יָשׁ֥וּב הַצֵּ֛ל אֲחֹרַנִּ֖ית עֶ֥שֶׂר מַעֲלֽוֹת
- 11And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the LORD: and he brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down in the dial of Ahaz.וַיִּקְרָ֛א יְשַׁעְיָ֥הוּ הַנָּבִ֖יא אֶל יְהוָ֑ה וַיָּ֣שֶׁב אֶת הַצֵּ֗ל בַּֽ֠מַּעֲלוֹת אֲשֶׁ֨ר יָרְדָ֜ה בְּמַעֲל֥וֹת אָחָ֛ז אֲחֹֽרַנִּ֖ית עֶ֥שֶׂר מַעֲלֽוֹת
- 12At that time Berodachbaladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present unto Hezekiah: for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick.בָּעֵ֣ת הַהִ֡יא שָׁלַ֡ח בַּ֠לְאֲדָן בֶּֽן בַּלְאֲדָ֧ן מֶֽלֶךְ בָּבֶ֛ל סְפָרִ֥ים וּמִנְחָ֖ה אֶל חִזְקִיָּ֑הוּ כִּ֣י שָׁמַ֔ע כִּ֥י חָלָ֖ה חִזְקִיָּֽהוּ
- 13And Hezekiah hearkened unto them, and shewed them all the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armour, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah shewed them not.וַיִּשְׁמַ֣ע עֲלֵיהֶם֮ חִזְקִיָּהוּ֒ וַיַּרְאֵ֣ם אֶת כָּל בֵּ֣ית נְכֹתֹ֡ה אֶת הַכֶּסֶף֩ וְאֶת הַזָּהָ֨ב וְאֶת הַבְּשָׂמִ֜ים וְאֵ֣ת שֶׁ֣מֶן הַטּ֗וֹב וְאֵת֙ בֵּ֣ית כֵּלָ֔יו וְאֵ֛ת כָּל אֲשֶׁ֥ר נִמְצָ֖א בְּאֽוֹצְרֹתָ֑יו לֹֽא הָיָ֣ה דָבָ֗ר אֲ֠שֶׁר לֹֽא הֶרְאָ֧ם חִזְקִיָּ֛הוּ בְּבֵית֖וֹ וּבְכָל מֶמְשַׁלְתּֽוֹ
- 14Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him, What said these men? and from whence came they unto thee? And Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country, even from Babylon.וַיָּבֹא֙ יְשַֽׁעְיָ֣הוּ הַנָּבִ֔יא אֶל הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ חִזְקִיָּ֑הוּ וַיֹּ֨אמֶר אֵלָ֜יו מָ֥ה אָמְר֣וּ הָאֲנָשִׁ֣ים הָאֵ֗לֶּה וּמֵאַ֨יִן֙ יָבֹ֣אוּ אֵלֶ֔יךָ וַיֹּ֨אמֶר֙ חִזְקִיָּ֔הוּ מֵאֶ֧רֶץ רְחוֹקָ֛ה בָּ֖אוּ מִבָּבֶֽל
- 15And he said, What have they seen in thine house? And Hezekiah answered, All the things that are in mine house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewed them.וַיֹּ֕אמֶר מָ֥ה רָא֖וּ בְּבֵיתֶ֑ךָ וַיֹּ֣אמֶר חִזְקִיָּ֗הוּ אֵ֣ת כָּל אֲשֶׁ֤ר בְּבֵיתִי֙ רָא֔וּ לֹא הָיָ֥ה דָבָ֛ר אֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹֽא הִרְאִיתִ֖ם בְּאֹצְרֹתָֽי
- 16And Isaiah said unto Hezekiah, Hear the word of the LORD.וַיֹּ֥אמֶר יְשַׁעְיָ֖הוּ אֶל חִזְקִיָּ֑הוּ שְׁמַ֖ע דְּבַר יְהוָֽה
- 17Behold, the days come, that all that is in thine house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store unto this day, shall be carried into Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the LORD.הִנֵּה֮ יָמִ֣ים בָּאִים֒ וְנִשָּׂ֣א כָּל אֲשֶׁ֣ר בְּבֵיתֶ֗ךָ וַאֲשֶׁ֨ר אָצְר֧וּ אֲבֹתֶ֛יךָ עַד הַיּ֥וֹם הַזֶּ֖ה בָּבֶ֑לָה לֹֽא יִוָּתֵ֥ר דָּבָ֖ר אָמַ֥ר יְהוָֽה
- 18And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, which thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.וּמִבָּנֶ֜יךָ אֲשֶׁ֨ר יֵצְא֧וּ מִמְּךָ֛ אֲשֶׁ֥ר תּוֹלִ֖יד יקח יִקָּ֑חוּ וְהָיוּ֙ סָֽרִיסִ֔ים בְּהֵיכַ֖ל מֶ֥לֶךְ בָּבֶֽל
- 19Then said Hezekiah unto Isaiah, Good is the word of the LORD which thou hast spoken. And he said, Is it not good, if peace and truth be in my days?וַיֹּ֤אמֶר חִזְקִיָּ֨הוּ֙ אֶֽל יְשַֽׁעְיָ֔הוּ ט֥וֹב דְּבַר יְהוָ֖ה אֲשֶׁ֣ר דִּבַּ֑רְתָּ וַיֹּ֕אמֶר הֲל֛וֹא אִם שָׁל֥וֹם וֶאֱמֶ֖ת יִהְיֶ֥ה בְיָמָֽי
- 20And the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and all his might, and how he made a pool, and a conduit, and brought water into the city, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?וְיֶ֨תֶר דִּבְרֵ֤י חִזְקִיָּ֨הוּ֙ וְכָל גְּב֣וּרָת֔וֹ וַאֲשֶׁ֣ר עָשָׂ֗ה אֶת הַבְּרֵכָה֙ וְאֶת הַתְּעָלָ֔ה וַיָּבֵ֥א אֶת הַמַּ֖יִם הָעִ֑ירָה הֲלֹא הֵ֣ם כְּתוּבִ֗ים עַל סֵ֛פֶר דִּבְרֵ֥י הַיָּמִ֖ים לְמַלְכֵ֥י יְהוּדָֽה
- 21And Hezekiah slept with his fathers: and Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.וַיִּשְׁכַּ֥ב חִזְקִיָּ֖הוּ עִם אֲבֹתָ֑יו וַיִּמְלֹ֛ךְ מְנַשֶּׁ֥ה בְנ֖וֹ תַּחְתָּֽיו

Hebrew verse gematria
YHWSA calculates these totals directly from every consonant in the tagged Hebrew source line using the Carlo Suarès letter-number system; vowel points and cantillation marks do not add values. The totals are not reverse-mapped from English. A matching number is a comparison to investigate, not proof that two passages mean the same thing.
