| וא֣יש ישרא֔ל נשב֥ע במצפ֖ה לאמ֑ר א֣יש ממ֔נו לא־ית֥ן בת֛ו לבנימ֖ן לאשֽה׃ | Judg 21:1 Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpeh, saying, There shall not any of us give his daughter unto Benjamin to wife. |
| ויב֤א העם֙ בֽית־א֔ל וי֤שבו שם֙ עד־הע֔רב לפנ֖י האלה֑ים וישא֣ו קול֔ם ויבכ֖ו בכ֥י גדֽול׃ | Judg 21:2 And the people came to the house of God, and abode there till even before God, and lifted up their voices, and wept sore; |
| וי֣אמר֔ו למ֗ה יהוה֙ אלה֣י ישרא֔ל ה֥יתה ז֖את בישרא֑ל להפק֥ד הי֛ום מישרא֖ל ש֥בט אחֽד׃ | Judg 21:3 And said, O LORD God of Israel, why is this come to pass in Israel, that there should be to day one tribe lacking in Israel? |
| וֽיהי֙ מֽמחר֔ת וישכ֣ימו הע֔ם ויבנו־ש֖ם מזב֑ח ויעל֥ו על֖ות ושלמֽים׃ | Judg 21:4 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the people rose early, and built there an altar, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. |
| ויֽאמרו֙ בנ֣י ישרא֔ל מ֠י אש֨ר לא־על֧ה בקה֛ל מכל־שבט֥י ישרא֖ל אל־יהו֑ה כי֩ השבוע֨ה הגדול֜ה הית֗ה ל֠אשר לא־על֨ה אל־יהו֧ה המצפ֛ה לאמ֖ר מ֥ות יומֽת׃ | Judg 21:5 And the children of Israel said, Who is there among all the tribes of Israel that came not up with the congregation unto the LORD? For they had made a great oath concerning him that came not up to the LORD to Mizpeh, saying, He shall surely be put to death. |
| וינֽחמו֙ בנ֣י ישרא֔ל אל־בנימ֖ן אח֑יו וי֣אמר֔ו נגד֥ע הי֛ום ש֥בט אח֖ד מישראֽל׃ | Judg 21:6 And the children of Israel repented them for Benjamin their brother, and said, There is one tribe cut off from Israel this day. |
| מה־נעש֥ה לה֛ם לנותר֖ים לנש֑ים ואנ֙חנו֙ נשב֣ענו בֽיהו֔ה לבלת֛י תת־לה֥ם מבנות֖ינו לנשֽים׃ | Judg 21:7 How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing we have sworn by the LORD that we will not give them of our daughters to wives? |
| וי֣אמר֔ו מ֗י אחד֙ משבט֣י ישרא֔ל אש֛ר לֽא־על֥ה אל־יהו֖ה המצפ֑ה ו֠הנה ל֣א בא־א֧יש אל־הֽמחנ֛ה מיב֥יש גלע֖ד אל־הקהֽל׃ | Judg 21:8 And they said, What one is there of the tribes of Israel that came not up to Mizpeh to the LORD? And, behold, there came none to the camp from Jabeshgilead to the assembly. |
| ויתפק֖ד הע֑ם והנ֤ה אֽין־שם֙ א֔יש מיושב֖י יב֥ש גלעֽד׃ | Judg 21:9 For the people were numbered, and, behold, there were none of the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead there. |
| וישלחו־ש֣ם העד֗ה שנים־עש֥ר א֛לף א֖יש מבנ֣י הח֑יל ויצו֨ו אות֜ם לאמ֗ר ל֠כו והכית֞ם את־יושב֨י יב֤ש גלעד֙ לפי־ח֔רב והנש֖ים והטֽף׃ | Judg 21:10 And the congregation sent thither twelve thousand men of the valiantest, and commanded them, saying, Go and smite the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead with the edge of the sword, with the women and the children. |
| וז֥ה הדב֖ר אש֣ר תעש֑ו כל־זכ֗ר וכל־אש֛ה יד֥עת משכב־זכ֖ר תחרֽימו׃ | Judg 21:11 And this is the thing that ye shall do, Ye shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman that hath lain by man. |
| וֽימצא֞ו מיושב֣י׀ יב֣יש גלע֗ד ארב֤ע מאות֙ נער֣ה בתול֔ה אש֧ר לֽא־ידע֛ה א֖יש למשכ֣ב זכ֑ר ויב֨יאו אות֤ם אל־הֽמחנה֙ של֔ה אש֖ר בא֥רץ כנֽען׃ | Judg 21:12 And they found among the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead four hundred young virgins, that had known no man by lying with any male: and they brought them unto the camp to Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan. |
| וֽישלחו֙ כל־ה֣עד֔ה וֽידברו֙ אל־בנ֣י בנימ֔ן אש֖ר בס֣לע רמ֑ון ויקרא֥ו לה֖ם שלֽום׃ | Judg 21:13 And the whole congregation sent some to speak to the children of Benjamin that were in the rock Rimmon, and to call peaceably unto them. |
| וי֤שב בנימן֙ בע֣ת הה֔יא ויתנ֤ו להם֙ הנש֔ים אש֣ר חי֔ו מנש֖י יב֣ש גלע֑ד ולֽא־מצא֥ו לה֖ם כֽן׃ | Judg 21:14 And Benjamin came again at that time; and they gave them wives which they had saved alive of the women of Jabeshgilead: and yet so they sufficed them not. |
| והע֥ם נח֖ם לבנימ֑ן כֽי־עש֧ה יהו֛ה פ֖רץ בשבט֥י ישראֽל׃ | Judg 21:15 And the people repented them for Benjamin, because that the LORD had made a breach in the tribes of Israel. |
| מה־ויֽאמר֨ו נעש֥ה זקנ֣י העד֔ה לנותר֖ים לנש֑ים מה־נעש֥ה כֽי־נשמד֥ה לנותר֖ים לנש֑ים מבנימ֖ן אשֽה׃ כֽי־נשמד֥ה מבנימ֖ן אשֽה׃ | Judg 21:16 Then the elders of the congregation said, How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing the women are destroyed out of Benjamin? |
| וי֣אמר֔ו ירש֥ת פליט֖ה לבנימ֑ן ולֽא־ימח֥ה ש֖בט מישראֽל׃ | Judg 21:17 And they said, There must be an inheritance for them that be escaped of Benjamin, that a tribe be not destroyed out of Israel. |
| ואנ֗חנו ל֥א נוכ֛ל לתת־לה֥ם נש֖ים מבנות֑ינו כֽי־נשבע֤ו בנֽי־ישראל֙ לאמ֔ר אר֕ור נת֥ן אש֖ה לבנימֽן׃ | Judg 21:18 Howbeit we may not give them wives of our daughters: for the children of Israel have sworn, saying, Cursed be he that giveth a wife to Benjamin. |
| ויאמר֡ו הנה֩ חג־יהו֨ה בשל֜ו מימ֣ים׀ ימ֗ימה אש֞ר מצפ֤ונה לבֽית־אל֙ מזרח֣ה הש֔מש למסל֔ה העל֥ה מבֽית־א֖ל שכ֑מה ומנ֖גב ללבונֽה׃ | Judg 21:19 Then they said, Behold, there is a feast of the LORD in Shiloh yearly in a place which is on the north side of Bethel, on the east side of the highway that goeth up from Bethel to Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah. |
| ויצו֕ו את־בנ֥י בנימ֖ן לאמ֑ר לכ֖ו וארבת֥ם בכרמֽים׃ | Judg 21:20 Therefore they commanded the children of Benjamin, saying, Go and lie in wait in the vineyards; |
| וראית֗ם ו֠הנה אם־י֨צא֥ו בנות־שילו֘ לח֣ול במחלות֒ וֽיצאתם֙ מן־הכרמ֔ים וחטפת֥ם לכ֛ם א֥יש אשת֖ו מבנ֣ות שיל֑ו והלכת֖ם א֥רץ בנימֽן׃ | Judg 21:21 And see, and, behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in dances, then come ye out of the vineyards, and catch you every man his wife of the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin. |
| והי֡ה כֽי־יב֣או אבותם֩ א֨ו אחיה֜ם לר֣יב׀ אל֗ינו ואמ֤רנו אליהם֙ חנ֣ונו אות֔ם כ֣י ל֥א לק֛חנו א֥יש אשת֖ו במלחמ֑ה כ֣י ל֥א את֛ם נתת֥ם לה֖ם כע֥ת תאשֽמו׃ | Judg 21:22 And it shall be, when their fathers or their brethren come unto us to complain, that we will say unto them, Be favourable unto them for our sakes: because we reserved not to each man his wife in the war: for ye did not give unto them at this time, that ye should be guilty. |
| ויֽעשו־כן֙ בנ֣י בנימ֔ן וישא֤ו נשים֙ למספר֔ם מן־המחלל֖ות אש֣ר גז֑לו וילכ֗ו ויש֙ובו֙ אל־נ֣חלת֔ם ויבנו֙ את־ה֣ער֔ים וישב֖ו בהֽם׃ | Judg 21:23 And the children of Benjamin did so, and took them wives, according to their number, of them that danced, whom they caught: and they went and returned unto their inheritance, and repaired the cities, and dwelt in them. |
| ויתהלכ֨ו מש֤ם בנֽי־ישראל֙ בע֣ת הה֔יא א֥יש לשבט֖ו ולמשפחת֑ו ויצא֣ו מש֔ם א֖יש לנחלתֽו׃ | Judg 21:24 And the children of Israel departed thence at that time, every man to his tribe and to his family, and they went out from thence every man to his inheritance. |
| בימ֣ים הה֔ם א֥ין מ֖לך בישרא֑ל א֛יש היש֥ר בעינ֖יו יעשֽה׃ | Judg 21:25 In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes. |
