Judges - Chapter: 3


3:1	Now 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;
3:2	Only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing thereof;
3:3	Namely, 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.
3:4	And 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.
3:5	And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and Jebusites:
3:6	And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods.
3:7	And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and forgat the LORD their God, and served Baalim and the groves.
3:8	Therefore 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.
3:9	And 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.
3:10	And 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.
3:11	And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
3:12	And 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.
3:13	And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees.
3:14	So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
3:15	But 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.
3:16	But 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.
3:17	And he brought the present unto Eglon king of Moab: and Eglon was a very fat man.
3:18	And when he had made an end to offer the present, he sent away the people that bare the present.
3:19	But 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.
3:20	And 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.
3:21	And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly:
3:22	And 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.
3:23	Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the parlour upon him, and locked them.
3:24	When 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.
3:25	And 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.
3:26	And Ehud escaped while they tarried, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped unto Seirath.
3:27	And 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.
3:28	And 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.
3:29	And they slew of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, all lusty, and all men of valour; and there escaped not a man.
3:30	So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest fourscore years.
3:31	And 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.


3:1	ואלה הגוים אשׁר הניח יהוה לנסות בם את ישׂראל את כל אשׁר לא ידעו את כל מלחמות כנען׃

3:5	ובני ישׂראל ישׁבו בקרב הכנעני החתי והאמרי והפרזי והחוי והיבוסי׃
3:6	ויקחו את בנותיהם להם לנשׁים ואת בנותיהם נתנו לבניהם ויעבדו את אלהיהם׃

3:16	ויעשׂ לו אהוד חרב ולה שׁני פיות גמד ארכה ויחגר אותה מתחת למדיו על ירך ימינו׃
3:17	ויקרב את המנחה לעגלון מלך מואב ועגלון אישׁ בריא מאד׃
3:18	ויהי כאשׁר כלה להקריב את המנחה וישׁלח את העם נשׂאי המנחה׃
3:19	והוא שׁב מן הפסילים אשׁר את הגלגל ויאמר דבר סתר לי אליך המלך ויאמר הס ויצאו מעליו כל העמדים עליו׃
3:20	ואהוד בא אליו והוא ישׁב בעלית המקרה אשׁר לו לבדו ויאמר אהוד דבר אלהים לי אליך ויקם מעל הכסא׃
3:21	וישׁלח אהוד את יד שׂמאלו ויקח את החרב מעל ירך ימינו ויתקעה בבטנו׃
3:22	ויבא גם הנצב אחר הלהב ויסגר החלב בעד הלהב כי לא שׁלף החרב מבטנו ויצא הפרשׁדנה׃
3:23	ויצא אהוד המסדרונה ויסגר דלתות העליה בעדו ונעל׃
3:24	והוא יצא ועבדיו באו ויראו והנה דלתות העליה נעלות ויאמרו אך מסיך הוא את רגליו בחדר המקרה׃
3:25	ויחילו עד בושׁ והנה איננו פתח דלתות העליה ויקחו את המפתח ויפתחו והנה אדניהם נפל ארצה מת׃
3:26	ואהוד נמלט עד התמהמהם והוא עבר את הפסילים וימלט השׂעירתה׃
3:27	ויהי בבואו ויתקע בשׁופר בהר אפרים וירדו עמו בני ישׂראל מן ההר והוא לפניהם׃
3:28	ויאמר אלהם רדפו אחרי כי נתן יהוה את איביכם את מואב בידכם וירדו אחריו וילכדו את מעברות הירדן למואב ולא נתנו אישׁ לעבר׃
3:29	ויכו את מואב בעת ההיא כעשׂרת אלפים אישׁ כל שׁמן וכל אישׁ חיל ולא נמלט אישׁ׃
3:30	ותכנע מואב ביום ההוא תחת יד ישׂראל ותשׁקט הארץ שׁמונים שׁנה׃
3:31	ואחריו היה שׁמגר בן ענת ויך את פלשׁתים שׁשׁ מאות אישׁ במלמד הבקר וישׁע גם הוא את ישׂראל׃


3:1	And these `are' the nations which Jehovah left, to try Israel by them, all who have not known all the wars of Canaan;
3:2	(only for the sake of the generations of the sons of Israel's knowing, to teach them war, only those who formerly have not known them) --
3:3	five princes of the Philistines, and all the Canaanite, and the Zidonian, and the Hivite inhabiting mount Lebanon, from mount Baal-Hermon unto the entering in of Hamath;
3:4	and they are to prove Israel by them, to know whether they obey the commands of Jehovah that He commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.
3:5	And the sons of Israel have dwelt in the midst of the Canaanite, the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite,
3:6	and take their daughters to them for wives, and their daughters have given to their sons, and they serve their gods;
3:7	and the sons of Israel do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and forget Jehovah their God, and serve the Baalim and the shrines.
3:8	And the anger of Jehovah burneth against Israel, and He selleth them into the hand of Chushan-Rishathaim king of Aram-Naharaim, and the sons of Israel serve Chushan-Rishathaim eight years;
3:9	and the sons of Israel cry unto Jehovah, and Jehovah raiseth a saviour to the sons of Israel, and he saveth them -- Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother;
3:10	and the Spirit of Jehovah is upon him, and he judgeth Israel, and goeth out to battle, and Jehovah giveth unto his hand Chushan-Rishathaim king of Aram, and strong is his hand against Chushan-Rishathaim;
3:11	and the land resteth forty years. And Othniel son of Kenaz dieth,
3:12	and the sons of Israel add to do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah; and Jehovah strengtheneth Eglon king of Moab against Israel, because that they have done the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah;
3:13	and he gathereth unto him the Bene-Ammon and Amalek, and goeth and smiteth Israel, and they possess the city of palms;
3:14	and the sons of Israel serve Eglon king of Moab eighteen years.
3:15	And the sons of Israel cry unto Jehovah, and Jehovah raiseth to them a saviour, Ehud son of Gera, a Benjamite (a man -- shut of his right hand), and the sons of Israel send by his hand a present to Eglon king of Moab;
3:16	and Ehud maketh for himself a sword, and it hath two mouths (a cubit `is' its length), and he girdeth it under his long robe on his right thigh;
3:17	and he bringeth near the present to Eglon king of Moab, and Eglon `is' a very fat man.
3:18	And it cometh to pass, when he hath finished to bring near the present, that he sendeth away the people bearing the present,
3:19	and he himself hath turned back from the graven images which `are' at Gilgal, and saith, `A secret word I have unto thee, O king;' and he saith, `Hush!' and go out from him do all those standing by him.
3:20	And Ehud hath come unto him, and he is sitting in the upper chamber of the wall which he hath for himself, and Ehud saith, `A word of God I have unto thee;' and he riseth from off the throne;
3:21	and Ehud putteth forth his left hand, and taketh the sword from off his right thigh, and striketh it into his belly;
3:22	and the haft also goeth in after the blade, and the fat shutteth on the blade, that he hath not drawn the sword out of his belly, and it goeth out at the fundament.
3:23	And Ehud goeth out at the porch, and shutteth the doors of the upper chamber upon him, and hath bolted `it';
3:24	and he hath gone out, and his servants have come in, and look, and lo, the doors of the upper chamber are bolted, and they say, `He is only covering his feet in the inner chamber of the wall.'
3:25	And they stay till confounded, and lo, he is not opening the doors of the upper chamber, and they take the key, and open, and lo, their lord is fallen to the earth -- dead.
3:26	And Ehud escaped during their tarrying, and hath passed by the images, and is escaped to Seirath.
3:27	And it cometh to pass, in his coming in, that he bloweth with a trumpet in the hill-country of Ephraim, and go down with him do the sons of Israel from the hill-country, and he before them;
3:28	and he saith unto them, `Pursue after me, for Jehovah hath given your enemies, the Moabites, into your hand;' and they go down after him, and capture the passages of the Jordan towards Moab, and have not permitted a man to pass over.
3:29	And they smite Moab at that time, about ten thousand men, all robust, and every one a man of valour, and not a man hath escaped,
3:30	and Moab is humbled in that day under the hand of Israel; and the land resteth eighty years.
3:31	And after him hath been Shamgar son of Anath, and he smiteth the Philistines -- six hundred men -- with an ox-goad, and he saveth -- he also -- Israel.
