Jeremiah
34-37
Jer
34:1 The word which came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, when
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the
kingdoms of the earth that were under his dominion, and all the
peoples, were fighting against Jerusalem, and against all the cities
of it, saying:
Jer
34:2 Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, Go, and speak to Zedekiah
king of Judah, and tell him, Thus says Yahweh, Behold, I will give
this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it
with fire:
Jer
34:3 and you shall not escape out of his hand, but shall surely be
taken, and delivered into his hand; and your eyes shall see the eyes
of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak with you mouth to mouth,
and you shall go to Babylon.
Jer
34:4 Yet hear the word of Yahweh, O Zedekiah king of Judah: thus
says Yahweh concerning you, You shall not die by the sword;
Jer
34:5 you shall die in peace; and with the burnings of your fathers,
the former kings who were before you, so shall they make a burning
for you; and they shall lament you, saying,
Ah Lord! for I have spoken the word, says Yahweh.
Jer
34:6 Then Jeremiah the prophet spoke all these words to Zedekiah
king of Judah in Jerusalem,
Jer
34:7 when the king of Babylon's army was fighting against Jerusalem,
and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish
and against Azekah; for these alone
remained of the cities of Judah as
fortified cities.
Jer
34:8 The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, after that the king
Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people who were at
Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty to them;
Jer
34:9 that every man should let his male servant, and every man his
female servant, who is a Hebrew or a Hebrewess, go free; that none
should make bondservants of them, to
wit, of a Jew his brother.
Jer
34:10 All the princes and all the people obeyed, who had entered
into the covenant, that everyone should let his male servant, and
everyone his female servant, go free, that none should make
bondservants of them any more; they obeyed, and let them go:
Jer
34:11 but afterwards they turned, and caused the servants and the
handmaids, whom they had let go free, to return, and brought them
into subjection for servants and for handmaids.
Jer
34:12 Therefore the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah from Yahweh,
saying,
Jer
34:13 Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: I made a covenant with
your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of
Egypt, out of the house of bondage, saying,
Jer
34:14 At the end of seven years you shall let go every man his
brother who is a Hebrew, who has been sold to you, and has served you
six years, you shall let him go free from you: but your fathers
didn't listen to me, neither inclined their ear.
Jer
34:15 You were now turned, and had done that which is right in my
eyes, in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbor; and you had
made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name:
Jer
34:16 but you turned and profaned my name, and caused every man his
servant, and every man his handmaid, whom you had let go free at
their pleasure, to return; and you brought them into subjection, to
be to you for servants and for handmaids.
Jer
34:17 Therefore thus says Yahweh: you have not listened to me, to
proclaim liberty, every man to his brother, and every man to his
neighbor: behold, I proclaim to you a liberty, says Yahweh, to the
sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you to
be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of the earth.
Jer
34:18 I will give the men who have transgressed my covenant, who
have not performed the words of the covenant which they made before
me, when they cut the calf in two and passed between its parts;
Jer
34:19 the princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the
eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land, who passed
between the parts of the calf;
Jer
34:20 I will even give them into the hand of their enemies, and into
the hand of those who seek their life; and their dead bodies shall be
for food to the birds of the sky, and to the animals of the earth.
Jer
34:21 Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes will I give into the
hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those who seek their
life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, who have gone
away from you.
Jer
34:22 Behold, I will command, says Yahweh, and cause them to return
to this city; and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn
it with fire: and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation,
without inhabitant.
Jer
35:1 The word which came to Jeremiah from Yahweh in the days of
Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying,
Jer
35:2 Go to the house of the Rechabites, and speak to them, and bring
them into the house of Yahweh, into one of the chambers, and give
them wine to drink.
Jer
35:3 Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of
Habazziniah, and his brothers, and all his sons, and the whole house
of the Rechabites;
Jer
35:4 and I brought them into the house of Yahweh, into the chamber
of the sons of Hanan the son of Igdaliah, the man of God, which was
by the chamber of the princes, which was above the chamber of
Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the threshold.
Jer
35:5 I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites bowls full
of wine, and cups; and I said to them, Drink you wine.
Jer
35:6 But they said, We will drink no wine; for Jonadab the son of
Rechab, our father, commanded us, saying, You shall drink no wine,
neither you, nor your sons, forever:
Jer
35:7 neither shall you build house, nor sow seed, nor plant
vineyard, nor have any; but all your days you shall dwell in tents;
that you may live many days in the land in which you sojourn.
Jer
35:8 We have obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab, our
father, in all that he commanded us, to drink no wine all our days,
we, our wives, our sons, or our daughters;
Jer
35:9 nor to build houses for us to dwell in; neither have we
vineyard, nor field, nor seed:
Jer
35:10 but we have lived in tents, and have obeyed, and done
according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.
Jer
35:11 But it happened, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up
into the land, that we said, Come, and let us go to Jerusalem for
fear of the army of the Chaldeans, and for fear of the army of the
Syrians; so we dwell at Jerusalem.
Jer
35:12 Then came the word of Yahweh to Jeremiah, saying,
Jer
35:13 Thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel: Go, and tell
the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Will you not
receive instruction to listen to my words? says Yahweh.
Jer
35:14 The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, that he commanded his
sons, not to drink wine, are performed; and to this day they drink
none, for they obey their father's commandment: but I have spoken to
you, rising up early and speaking; and you have not listened to me.
Jer
35:15 I have sent also to you all my servants the prophets, rising
up early and sending them, saying, Return you now every man from his
evil way, and amend your doings, and don't go after other gods to
serve them, and you shall dwell in the land which I have given to you
and to your fathers: but you have not inclined your ear, nor listened
to me.
Jer
35:16 Because the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have performed
the commandment of their father which he commanded them, but this
people has not listened to me;
Jer
35:17 therefore thus says Yahweh, the God of Armies, the God of
Israel: Behold, I will bring on Judah and on all the inhabitants of
Jerusalem all the evil that I have pronounced against them; because I
have spoken to them, but they have not heard; and I have called to
them, but they have not answered.
Jer
35:18 Jeremiah said to the house of the Rechabites, Thus says Yahweh
of Armies, the God of Israel: Because you have obeyed the commandment
of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and done according
to all that he commanded you;
Jer
35:19 therefore thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel:
Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not want a man to stand before me
forever.
Jer
36:1 It happened in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah,
king of Judah, that this word came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,
Jer
36:2 Take a scroll of a book, and write therein all the words that I
have spoken to you against Israel, and against Judah, and against all
the nations, from the day I spoke to you, from the days of Josiah,
even to this day.
Jer
36:3 It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which
I purpose to do to them; that they may return every man from his evil
way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.
Jer
36:4 Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah; and Baruch wrote
from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of Yahweh, which he had
spoken to him, on a scroll of a book.
Jer
36:5 Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I am shut up; I can't go
into the house of Yahweh:
Jer
36:6 therefore go you, and read in the scroll, which you have
written from my mouth, the words of Yahweh in the ears of the people
in Yahweh's house on the fast day; and also you shall read them in
the ears of all Judah who come out of their cities.
Jer
36:7 It may be they will present their supplication before Yahweh,
and will return everyone from his evil way; for great is the anger
and the wrath that Yahweh has pronounced against this people.
Jer
36:8 Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the
prophet commanded him, reading in the book the words of Yahweh in
Yahweh's house.
Jer
36:9 Now it happened in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of
Josiah, king of Judah, in the ninth month, that all the people in
Jerusalem, and all the people who came from the cities of Judah to
Jerusalem, proclaimed a fast before Yahweh.
Jer
36:10 Then read Baruch in the book the words of Jeremiah in the
house of Yahweh, in the chamber of Gemariah the son of Shaphan, the
scribe, in the upper court, at the entry of the new gate of Yahweh's
house, in the ears of all the people.
Jer
36:11 When Micaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had
heard out of the book all the words of Yahweh,
Jer
36:12 he went down into the king's house, into the scribe's chamber:
and behold, all the princes were sitting there, to
wit, Elishama the scribe, and Delaiah
the son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan the son of Achbor, and Gemariah the
son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the
princes.
Jer
36:13 Then Micaiah declared to them all the words that he had heard,
when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people.
Jer
36:14 Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah,
the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to Baruch, saying, Take in
your hand the scroll in which you have read in the ears of the
people, and come. So Baruch the son of Neriah took the scroll in his
hand, and came to them.
Jer
36:15 They said to him, Sit down now, and read it in our ears. So
Baruch read it in their ears.
Jer
36:16 Now it happened, when they had heard all the words, they
turned in fear one toward another, and said to Baruch, We will surely
tell the king of all these words.
Jer
36:17 They asked Baruch, saying, Tell us now, How did you write all
these words at his mouth?
Jer
36:18 Then Baruch answered them, He pronounced all these words to me
with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book.
Jer
36:19 Then said the princes to Baruch, Go, hide you, you and
Jeremiah; and let no man know where you are.
Jer
36:20 They went in to the king into the court; but they had laid up
the scroll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe; and they told all
the words in the ears of the king.
Jer
36:21 So the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll; and he took it out
of the chamber of Elishama the scribe. Jehudi read it in the ears of
the king, and in the ears of all the princes who stood beside the
king.
Jer
36:22 Now the king was sitting in the winter house in the ninth
month: and there was a fire in
the brazier burning before him.
Jer
36:23 It happened, when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, that
the king
cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was in the
brazier, until all the scroll was consumed in the fire that was in
the brazier.
Jer
36:24 They were not afraid, nor tore their garments, neither the
king, nor any of his servants who heard all these words.
Jer
36:25 Moreover Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made
intercession to the king that he would not burn the scroll; but he
would not hear them.
Jer
36:26 The king commanded Jerahmeel the king's son, and Seraiah the
son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to take Baruch the
scribe and Jeremiah the prophet; but Yahweh hid them.
Jer
36:27 Then the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah, after that the king
had burned the scroll, and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth
of Jeremiah, saying,
Jer
36:28 Take again another scroll, and write in it all the former
words that were in the first scroll, which Jehoiakim the king of
Judah has burned.
Jer
36:29 Concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah you shall say, Thus says
Yahweh: You have burned this scroll, saying, Why have you written
therein, saying, The king of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy
this land, and shall cause to cease from there man and animal?
Jer
36:30 Therefore thus says Yahweh concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah:
He shall have none to sit on the throne of David; and his dead body
shall be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the
frost.
Jer
36:31 I will punish him and his seed and his servants for their
iniquity; and I will bring on them, and on the inhabitants of
Jerusalem, and on the men of Judah, all the evil that I have
pronounced against them, but they didn't listen.
Jer
36:32 Then took Jeremiah another scroll, and gave it to Baruch the
scribe, the son of Neriah, who wrote therein from the mouth of
Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had
burned in the fire; and there were added besides to them many like
words.
Jer
37:1 Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned as king, instead of Coniah
the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made king
in the land of Judah.
Jer
37:2 But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land,
did listen to the words of Yahweh, which he spoke by the prophet
Jeremiah.
Jer
37:3 Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah, and
Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, to the prophet Jeremiah,
saying, Pray now to Yahweh our God for us.
Jer
37:4 Now Jeremiah came in and went out among the people; for they
had not put him into prison.
Jer
37:5 Pharaoh's army was come forth out of Egypt; and when the
Chaldeans who were besieging Jerusalem heard news of them, they broke
up from Jerusalem.
Jer
37:6 Then came the word of Yahweh to the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
Jer
37:7 Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, You shall tell the king of
Judah, who sent you to me to inquire of me: Behold, Pharaoh's army,
which is come forth to help you, shall return to Egypt into their own
land.
Jer
37:8 The Chaldeans shall come again, and fight against this city;
and they shall take it, and burn it with fire.
Jer
37:9 Thus says Yahweh, Don't deceive yourselves, saying, The
Chaldeans shall surely depart from us; for they shall not depart.
Jer
37:10 For though you had struck the whole army of the Chaldeans who
fight against you, and there remained but wounded men among them, yes
would they rise up every man in his tent, and burn this city with
fire.
Jer
37:11 It happened that, when the army of the Chaldeans was broken up
from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh's army,
Jer
37:12 then Jeremiah went forth out of Jerusalem to go into the land
of Benjamin, to receive his portion there, in the midst of the
people.
Jer
37:13 When he was in the gate of Benjamin, a captain of the guard
was there, whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of
Hananiah; and he laid hold on Jeremiah the prophet, saying, You are
falling away to the Chaldeans.
Jer
37:14 Then said Jeremiah, It is false; I am not falling away to the
Chaldeans. But he didn't listen to him; so Irijah laid hold on
Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes.
Jer
37:15 The princes were angry with Jeremiah, and struck him, and put
him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe; for they had made
that the prison.
Jer
37:16 When Jeremiah was come into the dungeon house, and into the
cells, and Jeremiah had remained there many days;
Jer
37:17 Then Zedekiah the king sent, and fetched him: and the king
asked him secretly in his house, and said, Is there any word from
Yahweh? Jeremiah said, There is. He said also, You shall be delivered
into the hand of the king of Babylon.
Jer
37:18 Moreover Jeremiah said to king Zedekiah, Wherein have I sinned
against you, or against your servants, or against this people, that
you have put me in prison?
Jer
37:19 Where now are your prophets who prophesied to you, saying, The
king of Babylon shall not come against you, nor against this land?
Jer
37:20 Now please hear, my lord the king: please let my supplication
be presented before you, that you not cause me to return to the house
of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.
Jer
37:21 Then Zedekiah the king commanded, and they committed Jeremiah
into the court of the guard; and they gave him daily a loaf of bread
out of the bakers' street, until all the bread in the city was spent.
Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.

is
a effort to understand the Bible by considering it from different
perspectives and different levels of literalcy. First, read the
World English Bible (the least literal-black

for comprehension of the text. Next, read both the World English
Bible with the Darby Translation (more literal-blue
text)to
make comparisons and lastly, read all three versions (Young's is the
most literal translation-

at one time to obtain an overview of the text. Doing this will make
you think about what
the
Scriptures are actually saying and avoid reading in a superficial
manner.

Jeremiah 34 1
The
word which came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, when Nebuchadnezzar king of
Babylon, and all his
army, and all the kingdoms of the earth that were under his dominion,

saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: Go and speak to Zedekiah king of
Judah, and tell

said Jehovah, God of Israel: Go, and thou hast spoken unto Zedekiah
king of
Judah,

into the
hand of the king of Babylon, and he hath burned it with fire,

and
you shall not escape out of his hand, but shall surely be taken, and
delivered into his hand; and
your eyes shall see the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he shall
speak with you mouth to mouth,
and you shall go to Babylon.
And
thou shalt not escape out of his hand, but shalt certainly be taken,
and given into his
hand; and thine eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of Babylon,
and his mouth shall
speak
with thy mouth, and thou shalt go to Babylon.
and
thou, thou dost not escape out of his hand, for thou art certainly
caught, and
into
his hand thou art given, and thine eyes see the eyes of the king of
Babylon,
and
his mouth with thy mouth speaketh, and Babylon thou enterest.

hear the word of Yahweh, O Zedekiah king of Judah: thus says Yahweh
concerning you, You shall
not die by the sword;

hear a word of Jehovah, O Zedekiah king of Judah, Thus said Jehovah
unto thee:
Thou dost not die by sword,

the word, says Yahweh.
thou
shalt die in peace, and with the burnings of thy fathers, the former
kings that were
before
thee, so shall they burn for thee; and they will lament for thee,

spoken
the word, saith Jehovah.
in
peace thou diest, and with the burnings of thy fathers, the former
kings who
have
been before thee, so they make a burning for thee; and Ah, lord,
they lament
for
thee, for the word I have spoken -- an affirmation of Jehovah.`

the king of Babylon`s army fought against Jerusalem, and against all
the cities of
Judah
that were left, against Lachish, and against Azekah; for these were
amongst the
cities
of Judah, the fenced cities that were left.
and
the forces of the king of Babylon are fighting against Jerusalem,
and against
all
the cities of Judah that are left -- against Lachish, and against
Azekah, for
these
have been left among the cities of Judah, cities of fortresses.

The
word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, after that the king Zedekiah
had made a covenant with all the people who were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty to
them;

that
every man should let his man-servant, and every man his maid-servant,
who is a Hebrew or a
Hebrewess, go free; that none should make bondservants of them, [to
wit], of a Jew his brother.
that
every man should let his bondman, and every man his bondmaid, the
Hebrew and the
Hebrewess, go free, that none should exact service of them, [that
is,] of a Jew his brother.
to
send out each his man-servant, and each his maid-servant -- the
Hebrew and the
Hebrewess -- free, so as not to lay service on them, any on a Jew
his brother;

All
the princes and all the people obeyed, who had entered into the
covenant, that everyone
should
let his man-servant, and everyone his maid-servant, go free, that
none should make
bondservants
of them any more; they obeyed, and let them go:
And
all the princes and all the people that had entered into the
covenant obeyed, every
man
letting his bondman and every man his bondmaid go free, that none
should exact
service
of them any more: they obeyed, and let [them] go.
and
hearken do all the heads, and all the people who have come in to the
covenant to
send forth each his man-servant and each his maid-servant free, so
as not to lay service
on them any more, yea, they hearken, and send them away;
Jeremiah 34 11
but
afterwards they turned, and caused the servants and the handmaids,
whom they had let go free,
to return, and brought them into subjection for servants and for
handmaids.
But
afterwards they turned, and caused the bondmen and the bondmaids
whom they had
let
go free, to return, and brought them into subjection for bondmen and
for bondmaids.
and
they turn afterwards, and cause the men-servants and the
maid-servants to
return,
whom they had sent forth free, and they subdue them for men-servants
and
for maid-servants.
Jeremiah 34 12
Therefore
the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,
And
the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,
And
there is a word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying:
Jeremiah 34 13
Thus
says Yahweh, the God of Israel: I made a covenant with your fathers
in the day that I
brought
them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage,
saying,
Thus
saith Jehovah the God of Israel: I made a covenant with your fathers
in the day that I
brought
them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage,
saying,
`Thus
said Jehovah, God of Israel, I -- I made a covenant with your
fathers in the
day
of My bringing them forth from the land of Egypt, from a house of
servants,
saying,
Jeremiah 34 14
At
the end of seven years you shall let go every man his brother who is
a Hebrew, who has been sold
to you, and has served you six years, you shall let him go free from
you: but your fathers didn`t
listen to me, neither inclined their ear.
At
the end of seven years ye shall let go every man his brother, a
Hebrew, who hath sold
himself
unto thee; when he hath served thee six years, thou shalt let him go
free from
thee.
But your fathers hearkened not unto me, neither inclined their ear.
At
the end of seven years ye do send forth each his brother, the
Hebrew, who is
sold
to thee, and hath served thee six years, yea, thou hast sent him
forth free from
thee: and your fathers hearkened not unto Me, nor inclined their
ear.
Jeremiah 34 15
You
were now turned, and had done that which is right in my eyes, in
proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbor; and you had made a covenant before me in the
house which is called by my name:
And
you, ye had this day turned, and had done right in my sight, in
proclaiming liberty
every
man to his neighbour; and ye had made a covenant before me in the
house which is
called
by my name:
`And
ye turn back, ye to-day, and ye do that which is right in Mine eyes,
to proclaim
liberty each to his neighbour, and ye make a covenant before Me in
the house
over which My name is called.
Jeremiah 34 16
but
you turned and profaned my name, and caused every man his servant,
and every man his handmaid,
whom you had let go free at their pleasure, to return; and you
brought them into subjection,
to be to you for servants and for handmaids.
but
ye have turned and profaned my name, and caused every man his
bondman, and every

from
it
man and beast?

certainly gone
away
from us; for they are not gone.

please hear, my lord the king: please let my supplication be
presented before you, that you not
cause me to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die
there.

Hebrews 7
Heb 7:1 For this
Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham
returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,
Heb 7:2 to whom also
Abraham divided a tenth part of all (being first, by interpretation,
king of righteousness, and then also king of Salem, which is king of
peace;
Heb 7:3 without father,
without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days
nor end of life, but made like the Son of God), remains a priest
continually.
Heb 7:4 Now consider
how great this man was, to whom even Abraham, the patriarch, gave a
tenth out of the best spoils.
Heb 7:5 They indeed of
the sons of Levi who receive the priest's office have a commandment
to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their
brothers, though these have come out of the body of Abraham,
Heb 7:6 but he whose
genealogy is not counted from them has accepted tithes from Abraham,
and has blessed him who has the promises.
Heb 7:7 But without any
dispute the lesser is blessed by the greater.
Heb 7:8 Here people who
die receive tithes, but there one receives tithes of whom it is
testified that he lives.
Heb 7:9 We can say that
through Abraham even Levi, who receives tithes, has paid tithes,
Heb 7:10 for he was yet
in the body of his father when Melchizedek met him.
Heb 7:11 Now if there
was perfection through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the
people have received the law), what further need was there for
another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be
called after the order of Aaron?
Heb 7:12 For the
priesthood being changed, there is of necessity a change made also in
the law.
Heb 7:13 For he of whom
these things are said belongs to another tribe, from which no one has
officiated at the altar.
Heb 7:14 For it is
evident that our Lord has sprung out of Judah, about which tribe
Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.
Heb 7:15 This is yet
more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there
arises another priest,
Heb 7:16 who has been
made, not after the law of a fleshly commandment, but after the power
of an endless life:
Heb 7:17 for it is
testified, "You are a priest forever, according to the order of
Melchizedek."
Heb 7:18 For there is
an annulling of a foregoing commandment because of its weakness and
uselessness
Heb 7:19 (for the law
made nothing perfect), and a bringing in of a better hope, through
which we draw near to God.
Heb 7:20 Inasmuch as he
was not made priest without the taking of an oath
Heb 7:21 (for they
indeed have been made priests without an oath), but he with an oath
by him that says of him, "The Lord swore and will not change his
mind, 'You are a priest forever, according to the order of
Melchizedek.' "
Heb 7:22 By so much,
Jesus has become the collateral of a better covenant.
Heb 7:23 Many, indeed,
have been made priests, because they are hindered from continuing by
death.
Heb 7:24 But he,
because he lives forever, has his priesthood unchangeable.
Heb 7:25 Therefore he
is also able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God
through him, seeing that he lives forever to make intercession for
them.
Heb 7:26 For such a
high priest was fitting for us: holy, guiltless, undefiled, separated
from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
Heb 7:27 who doesn't
need, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices daily, first
for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. For he did
this once for all, when he offered up himself.
Heb 7:28 For the law
appoints men as high priests who have weakness, but the word of the
oath which came after the law appoints a Son forever who has been
perfected.

Hebrews
Hebrews 7 1
For
this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met
Abraham returning from the
slaughter of the kings and blessed him,
For
this Melchisedec, King of Salem, priest of the most high God, who
met Abraham
returning
from smiting the kings, and blessed him;
For
this Melchisedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who did
meet
Abraham
turning back from the smiting of the kings, and did bless him,
Hebrews 7 2
to
whom also Abraham divided a tenth part of all (being first, by
interpretation, King of
righteousness,
and then also King of Salem, which is King of peace;
to
whom Abraham gave also the tenth portion of all; first being
interpreted King of
righteousness,
and then also King of Salem, which is King of peace;
to
whom also a tenth of all did Abraham divide, (first, indeed, being
interpreted,
`King
of righteousness,` and then also, King of Salem, which is, King of
Peace,)
Hebrews 7 3
without
father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning
of days nor end of
life, but made like the Son of God), remains a priest continually.
without
father, without mother, without genealogy; having neither beginning
of days
nor
end of life, but assimilated to the Son of God, abides a priest
continually.
without
father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning
of

nor end of life, and being made like to the Son of God, doth remain

Hebrews 7 4
Now
consider how great this man was, to whom even Abraham, the patriarch,
gave a tenth out of the best spoils.
Now
consider how great this [personage] was, to whom [even] the
patriarch Abraham
gave
a tenth out of the spoils.
And
see how great this one [is], to whom also a tenth Abraham the
patriarch did
give
out of the best of the spoils,
Hebrews 7 5
They
indeed of the sons of Levi who receive the priest`s office have a
commandment to take
tithes
of the people according to the law, that is, of their brothers,
though these have come out of
the loins of Abraham,
And
they indeed from among the sons of Levi, who receive the priesthood,
have
commandment
to take tithes from the people according to the law, that is from
their
brethren,
though these are come out of the loins of Abraham:
and
those, indeed, out of the sons of Levi receiving the priesthood, a
command
have
to take tithes from the people according to the law, that is, their
brethren,
even
though they came forth out of the loins of Abraham;
Hebrews 7 6
but
he whose genealogy is not counted from them has taken tithes of
Abraham, and has blessed him
who has the promises.
but
he who has no genealogy from them has tithed Abraham, and blessed
him who had the
promises.
and
he who was not reckoned by genealogy of them, received tithes from
Abraham,
and him having the promises he hath blessed,
Hebrews 7 7
But
without any dispute the less is blessed of the better.
But
beyond all gainsaying, the inferior is blessed by the better.
and
apart from all controversy, the less by the better is blessed --
Hebrews 7 8
Here
men who die receive tithes, but there one, of whom it is testified
that he lives.
And
here dying men receive tithes; but there [one] of whom the witness
is that he lives;
and
here, indeed, men who die do receive tithes, and there [he], who is
testified
to
that he was living,
Hebrews 7 9
So
to say, through Abraham even Levi, who receives tithes, has paid
tithes,
and,
so to speak, through Abraham, Levi also, who received tithes, has
been made to pay
tithes.
and
so to speak, through Abraham even Levi who is receiving tithes, hath
paid
tithes,
Hebrews 7 10
for
he was yet in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him.
For
he was yet in the loins of his father when Melchisedec met him.
for
he was yet in the loins of the father when Melchisedek met him.
Hebrews 7 11
Now
if there was perfection through the Levitical priesthood (for under
it have the people
received
the law), what further need was there for another priest to arise
after the order of
Melchizedek,
and not be called after the order of Aaron?
If
indeed then perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, for the
people had their law
given
to them in connexion with *it*, what need [was there] still that a
different priest
should
arise according to the order of Melchisedec, and not be named after
the order of
Aaron?
If
indeed, then, perfection were through the Levitical priesthood --
for the people
under
it had received law -- what further need, according to the order of
Melchisedek,
for another priest to arise, and not to be called according to the
order
of Aaron?
Hebrews 7 12
For
the priesthood being changed, there is of necessity a change made
also of the law.
For,
the priesthood being changed, there takes place of necessity a
change of law also.
for
the priesthood being changed, of necessity also, of the law a change
doth come,
Hebrews 7 13
For
he of whom these things are said belongs to another tribe, from which
no man has given attendance
at the altar.
For
he, of whom these things are said, belongs to a different tribe, of
which no one has
[ever]
