And Abram H87 passed H5674 through the land H776 to the place H4725 of Sichem, H7927 to the plain H436 of Moreh. H4176 And the Canaanite H3669 was then H227 in the land. H776

And the LORD H3068 appeared H7200 to Abram, H87 and said, H559 To your seed H2233 will I give H5414 this H2063 land: H776 and there H8033 built H1129 he an altar H4196 to the LORD, H3068 who appeared H7200 to him.

And Jacob H3290 came H935 to Shalem, H8003 a city H5892 of Shechem, H7927 which H834 is in the land H776 of Canaan, H3667 when he came H935 from Padanaram; H6307 and pitched H2583 his tent before H854 H6440 the city. H5892

And he erected H5324 there H8033 an altar, H4196 and called H7121 it EleloheIsrael. H415

These H428 shall stand H5975 on mount H2022 Gerizim H1630 to bless H1288 the people, H5971 when you are come H5674 over H5674 Jordan; H3383 Simeon, H8095 and Levi, H3878 and Judah, H3063 and Issachar, H3485 and Joseph, H3130 and Benjamin: H1144

And all H3605 Israel, H3478 and their elders, H2205 and officers, H7860 and their judges, H8199 stood H5975 on this H2088 side the ark H727 and on that side before H5048 the priests H3548 the Levites, H3881 which bore H5375 the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of the LORD, H3068 as well the stranger, H1616 as he that was born H249 among them; half H2677 of them over H413 against H4136 mount H2022 Gerizim, H1630 and half H2677 of them over H413 H4136 against H4136 mount H2022 Ebal; H5858 as Moses H4872 the servant H5650 of the LORD H3068 had commanded H6680 before, H7223 that they should bless H1288 the people H5971 of Israel. H3478

There was not a word H1697 of all H3605 that Moses H4872 commanded, H6680 which H834 Joshua H3091 read H7121 not before H5048 all H3605 the congregation H6951 of Israel, H3478 with the women, H802 and the little H2945 ones, and the strangers H1616 that were conversant H1980 among H7130 them.

And all H3605 the men H1167 of Shechem H7927 gathered H622 together, and all H3605 the house H1004 of Millo, H4407 and went, H3212 and made Abimelech H40 king, H4428 by the plain H436 of the pillar H5324 that was in Shechem. H7927

And when they told H5046 it to Jotham, H3147 he went H3212 and stood H5975 in the top H7218 of mount H2022 Gerizim, H1630 and lifted H5375 up his voice, H6963 and cried, H7121 and said H559 to them, Listen H8085 to me, you men H1167 of Shechem, H7927 that God H430 may listen H8085 to you.

Why they spoke H559 to the king H4428 of Assyria, H804 saying, H559 The nations H1471 which H834 you have removed, H1540 and placed H3427 in the cities H5892 of Samaria, H8111 know H3045 not the manner H4941 of the God H430 of the land: H776 therefore he has sent H7971 lions H738 among them, and, behold, H2009 they slay H4191 them, because H834 they know H3045 not the manner H4941 of the God H430 of the land. H776

Then one H259 of the priests H3548 whom H834 they had carried H1540 away H1540 from Samaria H8111 came H935 and dwelled H3427 in Bethel, H1008 and taught H3384 them how H349 they should fear H3372 the LORD. H3068

And the men H582 of Babylon H894 made H6213 Succothbenoth, H5524 and the men H582 of Cuth H3575 made H6213 Nergal, H5370 and the men H582 of Hamath H2574 made H6213 Ashima, H807

So they feared H3373 the LORD, H3068 and made H6213 to themselves of the lowest H7098 of them priests H3548 of the high H1116 places, which H1961 sacrificed H6213 for them in the houses H1004 of the high H1116 places.

But to the place H4725 which H834 the LORD H3068 your God H430 shall choose H977 out of all H3605 your tribes H7626 to put H7760 his name H8034 there, H8033 even to his habitation H7933 shall you seek, H1875 and thither H8033 you shall come: H935

And there H8033 you shall eat H398 before H6440 the LORD H3068 your God, H430 and you shall rejoice H8055 in all H3605 that you put H4916 your hand H3027 to, you and your households, H1004 wherein H834 the LORD H3068 your God H430 has blessed H1288 you.

For you are not as yet H5704 H6258 come H935 to the rest H4496 and to the inheritance, H5159 which H834 the LORD H3068 your God H430 gives H5414 you.

Then there shall be a place H4725 which H834 the LORD H3068 your God H430 shall choose H977 to cause his name H8034 to dwell H7931 there; H8033 thither H8033 shall you bring H935 all H3605 that I command H6680 you; your burnt H5930 offerings, and your sacrifices, H2077 your tithes, H4643 and the heave H8641 offering H8641 of your hand, H3027 and all H3605 your choice H4005 vows H5088 which H834 you vow H5087 to the LORD: H3068

And the LORD H3068 said H559 to him, I have heard H8085 your prayer H8605 and your supplication, H8467 that you have made before H6440 me: I have hallowed H6942 this H2088 house, H1004 which H834 you have built, H1129 to put H7760 my name H8034 there H8033 for ever; H5769 and my eyes H5869 and my heart H3824 shall be there H8033 perpetually. H3605 H3117

And David H1732 built H1129 there H8033 an altar H4196 to the LORD, H3068 and offered H5927 burnt H5930 offerings and peace H8002 offerings, and called H7121 on the LORD; H3068 and he answered H6030 him from heaven H8064 by fire H784 on the altar H4196 of burnt H5930 offering.

Then David H1732 said, H559 This H2088 is the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 God, H430 and this H2088 is the altar H4196 of the burnt H5930 offering for Israel. H3478

But I have chosen H977 Jerusalem, H3389 that my name H8034 might be there; H8033 and have chosen H977 David H1732 to be over H5921 my people H5971 Israel. H3478

And the LORD H3068 appeared H7200 to Solomon H8010 by night, H3915 and said H559 to him, I have heard H8085 your prayer, H8605 and have chosen H977 this H2088 place H4725 to myself for an house H1004 of sacrifice. H2077

For now H6258 have I chosen H977 and sanctified H6942 this H2088 house, H1004 that my name H8034 may be there H8033 for ever: H5769 and my eyes H5869 and my heart H3820 shall be there H8033 perpetually. H3605 H3117

But chose H977 the tribe H7626 of Judah, H3063 the mount H2022 Zion H6726 which H834 he loved. H157

A Psalm H4210 or Song H7892 for the sons H1121 of Korah. H7141 His foundation H3248 is in the holy H6944 mountains. H2042

The LORD H3068 loves H157 the gates H8179 of Zion H6726 more than all H3605 the dwellings H4908 of Jacob. H3290

For the LORD H3068 has chosen H977 Zion; H6726 he has desired H183 it for his habitation. H4186
