  1. 1Now these are the nations which the LORD left, to prove Israel by them, even as many of Israel as had not known all the wars of Canaan;וְאֵ֤לֶּה הַגּוֹיִם֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר הִנִּ֣יחַ יְהוָ֔ה לְנַסּ֥וֹת אֶת יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל אֵ֚ת כָּל אֲשֶׁ֣ר לֹֽא יָדְע֔וּ אֵ֖ת כָּל מִלְחֲמ֥וֹת כְּנָֽעַן
  2. 2Only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing thereof;רַ֗ק לְמַ֨עַן֙ דַּ֚עַת דֹּר֣וֹת בְּנֵֽי יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל לְלַמְּדָ֖ם מִלְחָמָ֑ה רַ֥ק אֲשֶׁר לְפָנִ֖ים לֹ֥א יְדָעֽוּם
  3. 3Namely, five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baalhermon unto the entering in of Hamath.חֲמֵ֣שֶׁת סַרְנֵ֣י פְלִשְׁתִּ֗ים וְכָל הַֽכְּנַעֲנִי֙ וְהַצִּ֣ידֹנִ֔י וְהַ֣חִוִּ֔י יֹשֵׁ֖ב הַ֣ר הַלְּבָנ֑וֹן מֵהַר֙ חֶרְמ֔וֹן עַ֖ד לְב֥וֹא חֲמָֽת
  4. 4And they were to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of the LORD, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.וַֽיִּהְי֕וּ לְנַסּ֥וֹת אֶת יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל לָדַ֗עַת הֲיִשְׁמְעוּ֙ אֶת מִצְוֺ֣ת יְהוָ֔ה אֲשֶׁר צִוָּ֥ה אֶת אֲבוֹתָ֖ם בְּיַד מֹשֶֽׁה
  5. 5And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and Jebusites:וּבְנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל יָשְׁב֖וּ בְּקֶ֣רֶב הַֽכְּנַעֲנִ֑י הַחִתִּ֤י וְהָֽאֱמֹרִי֙ וְהַפְּרִזִּ֔י וְהַחִוִּ֖י וְהַיְבוּסִֽי
  6. 6And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods.וַיִּקְח֨וּ אֶת בְּנוֹתֵיהֶ֤ם לְנָשִׁ֔ים וְאֶת בְּנוֹתֵיהֶ֖ם נָתְנ֣וּ לִבְנֵיהֶ֑ם וַיַּעַבְד֖וּ אֶת אֱלֹהֵיהֶֽם
  7. 7And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and forgat the LORD their God, and served Baalim and the groves.וַיַּעֲשׂ֨וּ בְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵ֤ל אֶת הָרַע֙ בְּעֵינֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה וַֽיִּשְׁכְּח֖וּ אֶת יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹֽהֵיהֶ֑ם וַיַּעַבְד֥וּ אֶת הַבְּעָלִ֖ים וְאֶת הָאֲשֵׁרֽוֹת
  8. 8Therefore the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Chushanrishathaim eight years.וַיִּֽחַר אַ֤ף יְהוָה֙ בְּיִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וַֽיִּמְכְּרֵ֗ם בְּיַד֙ רִשְׁעָתַ֔יִם מֶ֖לֶךְ נַהֲרָ֑יִם וַיַּעַבְד֧וּ בְנֵֽי יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל אֶת רִשְׁעָתַ֖יִם שְׁמֹנֶ֥ה שָׁנִֽים
  9. 9And when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised up a deliverer to the children of Israel, who delivered them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.וַיִּזְעֲק֤וּ בְנֵֽי יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ אֶל יְהוָ֔ה וַיָּ֨קֶם יְהוָ֥ה מוֹשִׁ֛יעַ לִבְנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל וַיּֽוֹשִׁיעֵ֑ם אֵ֚ת עָתְנִיאֵ֣ל בֶּן קְנַ֔ז אֲחִ֥י כָלֵ֖ב הַקָּטֹ֥ן מִמֶּֽנּוּ
  10. 10And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war: and the LORD delivered Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushanrishathaim.וַתְּהִ֨י עָלָ֥יו רֽוּחַ יְהוָה֮ וַיִּשְׁפֹּ֣ט אֶת יִשְׂרָאֵל֒ וַיֵּצֵא֙ לַמִּלְחָמָ֔ה וַיִּתֵּ֤ן יְהוָה֙ בְּיָד֔וֹ אֶת רִשְׁעָתַ֖יִם מֶ֣לֶךְ אֲרָ֑ם וַתָּ֣עָז יָד֔וֹ עַ֖ל רִשְׁעָתָֽיִם
  11. 11And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.וַתִּשְׁקֹ֥ט הָאָ֖רֶץ אַרְבָּעִ֣ים שָׁנָ֑ה וַיָּ֖מָת עָתְנִיאֵ֥ל בֶּן קְנַֽז
  12. 12And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the LORD.וַיֹּסִ֨פוּ֙ בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל לַעֲשׂ֥וֹת הָרַ֖ע בְּעֵינֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה וַיְחַזֵּ֨ק יְהוָ֜ה אֶת עֶגְל֤וֹן מֶֽלֶךְ מוֹאָב֙ עַל יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל עַ֛ל כִּֽי עָשׂ֥וּ אֶת הָרַ֖ע בְּעֵינֵ֥י יְהוָֽה
  13. 13And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees.וַיֶּאֱסֹ֣ף אֵלָ֔יו אֶת בְּנֵ֥י עַמּ֖וֹן וַעֲמָלֵ֑ק וַיֵּ֗לֶךְ וַיַּךְ֙ אֶת יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וַיִּֽירְשׁ֖וּ אֶת עִ֥יר הַתְּמָרִֽים
  14. 14So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.וַיַּעַבְד֤וּ בְנֵֽי יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ אֶת עֶגְל֣וֹן מֶֽלֶךְ מוֹאָ֔ב שְׁמוֹנֶ֥ה עֶשְׂרֵ֖ה שָׁנָֽה
  15. 15But when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjamite, a man lefthanded: and by him the children of Israel sent a present unto Eglon the king of Moab.וַיִּזְעֲק֣וּ בְנֵֽי יִשְׂרָאֵל֮ אֶל יְהוָה֒ וַיָּקֶם֩ יְהוָ֨ה מוֹשִׁ֗יעַ אֶת אֵה֤וּד בֶּן גֵּרָא֙ הַיְמִינִ֔י אִ֥ישׁ אִטֵּ֖ר יַד יְמִינ֑וֹ וַיִּשְׁלְח֨וּ בְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵ֤ל בְּיָדוֹ֙ מִנְחָ֔ה לְעֶגְל֖וֹן מֶ֥לֶךְ מוֹאָֽב
  16. 16But Ehud made him a dagger which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he did gird it under his raiment upon his right thigh.וַיַּעַשׂ֩ אֵה֜וּד חֶ֗רֶב שְׁנֵ֥י פֵי֖וֹת גֹּ֣מֶד אָרְכָּ֑הּ וַיַּחְגֹּ֤ר אוֹתָהּ֙ מִתַּ֣חַת לְמַדָּ֔יו עַ֖ל יֶ֥רֶךְ יְמִינֽוֹ
  17. 17And he brought the present unto Eglon king of Moab: and Eglon was a very fat man.וַיַּקְרֵב֙ אֶת הַמִּנְחָ֔ה לְעֶגְל֖וֹן מֶ֣לֶךְ מוֹאָ֑ב וְעֶגְל֕וֹן אִ֥ישׁ בָּרִ֖יא מְאֹֽד
  18. 18And when he had made an end to offer the present, he sent away the people that bare the present.וַֽיְהִי֙ כַּאֲשֶׁ֣ר כִּלָּ֔ה לְהַקְרִ֖יב אֶת הַמִּנְחָ֑ה וַיְשַׁלַּח֙ אֶת הָעָ֔ם נֹשְׂאֵ֖י הַמִּנְחָֽה
  19. 19But he himself turned again from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand unto thee, O king: who said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him.וְה֣וּא שָׁ֗ב מִן הַפְּסִילִים֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֶת הַגִּלְגָּ֔ל וַיֹּ֕אמֶר דְּבַר סֵ֥תֶר אֵלֶ֖יךָ הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ וַיֹּ֣אמֶר הָ֔ס וַיֵּֽצְאוּ֙ מֵֽעָלָ֔יו כָּל הָעֹמְדִ֖ים עָלָֽיו
  20. 20And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting in a summer parlour, which he had for himself alone. And Ehud said, I have a message from God unto thee. And he arose out of his seat.וְאֵה֣וּד בָּ֣א אֵלָ֗יו וְהֽוּא יֹ֠שֵׁב בַּעֲלִיַּ֨ת הַמְּקֵרָ֤ה אֲשֶׁר לְבַדּ֔וֹ וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֵה֔וּד דְּבַר אֱלֹהִ֥ים אֵלֶ֑יךָ וַיָּ֖קָם מֵעַ֥ל הַכִּסֵּֽא
  21. 21And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly:וַיִּשְׁלַ֤ח אֵהוּד֙ אֶת יַ֣ד שְׂמֹאל֔וֹ וַיִּקַּח֙ אֶת הַחֶ֔רֶב מֵעַ֖ל יֶ֣רֶךְ יְמִינ֑וֹ וַיִּתְקָעֶ֖הָ בְּבִטְנֽוֹ
  22. 22And the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, so that he could not draw the dagger out of his belly; and the dirt came out.וַיָּבֹ֨א גַֽם הַנִּצָּ֜ב אַחַ֣ר הַלַּ֗הַב וַיִּסְגֹּ֤ר הַחֵ֨לֶב֙ בְּעַ֣ד הַלַּ֔הַב כִּ֣י לֹ֥א שָׁלַ֛ף הַחֶ֖רֶב מִבִּטְנ֑וֹ וַיֵּצֵ֖א הַֽפַּרְשְׁדֹֽנָה
  23. 23Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the parlour upon him, and locked them.וַיֵּצֵ֥א אֵה֖וּד הַֽמִּסְדְּר֑וֹנָה וַיִּסְגֹּ֞ר דַּלְת֧וֹת הָעַלִיָּ֛ה בַּעֲד֖וֹ וְנָעָֽל
  24. 24When he was gone out, his servants came; and when they saw that, behold, the doors of the parlour were locked, they said, Surely he covereth his feet in his summer chamber.וְה֤וּא יָצָא֙ וַעֲבָדָ֣יו בָּ֔אוּ וַיִּרְא֕וּ וְהִנֵּ֛ה דַּלְת֥וֹת הָעֲלִיָּ֖ה נְעֻל֑וֹת וַיֹּ֣אמְר֔וּ אַ֣ךְ מֵסִ֥יךְ ה֛וּא אֶת רַגְלָ֖יו בַּחֲדַ֥ר הַמְּקֵרָֽה
  25. 25And they tarried till they were ashamed: and, behold, he opened not the doors of the parlour; therefore they took a key, and opened them: and, behold, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth.וַיָּחִ֣ילוּ עַד בּ֔וֹשׁ וְהְנֵּ֛ה אֵינֶ֥נּוּ פֹתֵ֖חַ דַּלְת֣וֹת הָֽעֲלִיָּ֑ה וַיִּקְח֤וּ אֶת הַמַּפְתֵּ֨חַ֙ וַיִּפְתָּ֔חוּ וְהִנֵּה֙ אֲדֹ֣נֵיהֶ֔ם נֹפֵ֥ל אַ֖רְצָה מֵֽת
  26. 26And Ehud escaped while they tarried, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped unto Seirath.וְאֵה֥וּד נִמְלַ֖ט עַ֣ד הִֽתְמַהְמְהָ֑ם וְהוּא֙ עָבַ֣ר אֶת הַפְּסִילִ֔ים וַיִּמָּלֵ֖ט הַשְּׂעִירָֽתָה
  27. 27And it came to pass, when he was come, that he blew a trumpet in the mountain of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the mount, and he before them.וַיְהִ֣י בְּבוֹא֔וֹ וַיִּתְקַ֥ע בַּשּׁוֹפָ֖ר בְּהַ֣ר אֶפְרָ֑יִם וַיֵּרְד֨וּ עִמּ֧וֹ בְנֵֽי יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל מִן הָהָ֖ר וְה֥וּא לִפְנֵיהֶֽם
  28. 28And he said unto them, Follow after me: for the LORD hath delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of Jordan toward Moab, and suffered not a man to pass over.וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֲלֵהֶם֙ רִדְפ֣וּ אַחֲרַ֔י כִּֽי נָתַ֨ן יְהוָ֧ה אֶת אֹיְבֵיכֶ֛ם אֶת מוֹאָ֖ב בְּיֶדְכֶ֑ם וַיֵּרְד֣וּ אַחֲרָ֗יו וַֽיִּלְכְּד֞וּ אֶת מַעְבְּר֤וֹת הַיַּרְדֵּן֙ לְמוֹאָ֔ב וְלֹֽא נָתְנ֥וּ אִ֖ישׁ לַעֲבֹֽר
  29. 29And they slew of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, all lusty, and all men of valour; and there escaped not a man.וַיַּכּ֨וּ אֶת מוֹאָ֜ב בָּעֵ֣ת הַהִ֗יא כַּעֲשֶׂ֤רֶת אֲלָפִים֙ אִ֔ישׁ כָּל שָׁמֵ֖ן וְכָל אִ֣ישׁ חָ֑יִל וְלֹ֥א נִמְלַ֖ט אִֽישׁ
  30. 30So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest fourscore years.וַתִּכָּנַ֤ע מוֹאָב֙ בַּיּ֣וֹם הַה֔וּא תַּ֖חַת יַ֣ד יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וַתִּשְׁקֹ֥ט הָאָ֖רֶץ שְׁמוֹנִ֥ים שָׁנָֽה
  31. 31And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, which slew of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox goad: and he also delivered Israel.וְאַחֲרָ֤יו הָיָה֙ שַׁמְגַּ֣ר בֶּן עֲנָ֔ת וַיַּ֤ךְ אֶת פְּלִשְׁתִּים֙ שֵֽׁשׁ מֵא֣וֹת אִ֔ישׁ בְּמַלְמַ֖ד הַבָּקָ֑ר וַיֹּ֥שַׁע גַּם ה֖וּא אֶת יִשְׂרָאֵֽל
