And write it down before their eyes, so that they observe its entire design and all its laws, and shall do them.

1Sa 15:1 And Shemu’ěl said to Sha’ul, “יהוה sent me to anoint you sovereign over His people, over Yisra’ěl. And now, listen to the voice of the words of יהוה.
1Sa 15:2 “Thus said יהוה of hosts, ‘I shall punish Amalěq for what he did to Yisra’ěl, how he set himself against him on the way when he came up from Mitsrayim.
1Sa 15:3 Now go, and you shall strike Amalěq and put under the ban all that he has, and you shall not spare them, and put to death from man to woman, from infant to nursing child, from ox to sheep, from camel to donkey.’ ”
1Sa 15:4 Then Sha’ul summoned the people and mustered them in Tela’im, two hundred thousand foot soldiers and ten thousand men of Yehuḏah.
1Sa 15:5 And Sha’ul came to a city of Amalěq, and lay in wait in the wadi.
1Sa 15:6 And Sha’ul said to the Qěynites, “Go, turn aside, come down from among the Amalěqites, lest I destroy you with them. For you did show loving-commitment to all the children of Yisra’ěl when they came up out of Mitsrayim.” So the Qěynites turned aside from the midst of the Amalěqites.
1Sa 15:7 And Sha’ul struck the Amalěqites, from Ḥawilah all the way to Shur, which is before Mitsrayim.
1Sa 15:8 And he caught Aḡaḡ sovereign of the Amalěqites alive, and put under the ban all the people with the edge of the sword.
1Sa 15:9 But Sha’ul and the people spared Aḡaḡ and the best of the sheep, and the cattle, and the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not put them under the ban. But all goods despised and worthless, that they put under the ban.
1Sa 15:10 And the word of יהוה came to Shemu’ěl, saying,
1Sa 15:11 “I am grieved that I have set up Sha’ul as sovereign, for he has turned back from following Me, and has not performed My words.” And it displeased Shemu’ěl, and he cried to יהוה all night.
1Sa 15:12 And Shemu’ěl rose early in the morning to meet Sha’ul, and it was told to Shemu’ěl, saying, “Sha’ul went to Karmel, and see, he set up a monument for himself, then turned and passed over, and went down to Gilgal.”
1Sa 15:13 And Shemu’ěl came to Sha’ul, and Sha’ul said to him, “Blessed are you of יהוה! I have performed the word of יהוה.”
1Sa 15:14 But Shemu’ěl said, “What then is this bleating of the sheep in my ears, and the lowing of the cattle which I hear?”
1Sa 15:15 And Sha’ul said, “They have brought them from Amalěq, because the people spared the best of the sheep and the cattle, to slaughter to יהוה your Elohim. And the rest we have put under the ban.”
1Sa 15:16 And Shemu’ěl said to Sha’ul, “Wait, and let me declare to you what יהוה said to me last night.” And he said to him, “Speak.”
1Sa 15:17 And Shemu’ěl said, “Though you were little in your own eyes, were you not head of the tribes of Yisra’ěl? And did not יהוה anoint you sovereign over Yisra’ěl?
1Sa 15:18 “And יהוה sent you on the way, and said, ‘Go, and you shall put under the ban the sinners, the Amalěqites, and fight against them until they are consumed.’
1Sa 15:19 “And why did you not obey the voice of יהוה, but swooped down on the spoil, and did evil in the eyes of יהוה?”
1Sa 15:20 And Sha’ul said to Shemu’ěl, “I did obey the voice of יהוה, and I went on the way on which יהוה sent me, and brought back Aḡaḡ sovereign of Amalěq, and I put Amalěq under the ban.
1Sa 15:21 “But the people took of the spoil, of the sheep and cattle, the best of that which should have been put under the ban, to slaughter to יהוה your Elohim in Gilgal.”
1Sa 15:22 Then Shemu’ěl said, “Does יהוה delight in ascending offerings and slaughterings, as in obeying the voice of יהוה? Look, to obey is better than a slaughtering, to heed is better than the fat of rams.
1Sa 15:23 “For rebellion is as the sin of divination, and stubbornness is as wickedness and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of יהוה, He also does reject you as sovereign.”
1Sa 15:24 And Sha’ul said to Shemu’ěl, “I have sinned, for I have transgressed the mouth of יהוה and your words, because I feared the people and listened to their voice.
1Sa 15:25 “And now, please pardon my sin, and return with me, and let me bow myself to יהוה.”
1Sa 15:26 But Shemu’ěl said to Sha’ul, “I do not return with you, for you have rejected the word of יהוה, and יהוה does reject you from being sovereign over Yisra’ěl.”
1Sa 15:27 And as Shemu’ěl turned around to go away, Sha’ul took hold of the edge of his robe, and it tore.
1Sa 15:28 And Shemu’ěl said to him, “יהוה has torn the reign of Yisra’ěl from you today, and has given it to a neighbour of yours, better than you.
1Sa 15:29 “Moreover, the Eminence of Yisra’ěl does not lie nor relent. For He is not a man, that He should relent.”
1Sa 15:30 Then he said, “I have sinned. But esteem me now, please, before the elders of my people and before Yisra’ěl, and return with me, and I shall bow myself to יהוה your Elohim.”
1Sa 15:31 And Shemu’ěl turned back after Sha’ul, and Sha’ul bowed himself to יהוה.
1Sa 15:32 And Shemu’ěl said, “Bring Aḡaḡ sovereign of the Amalěqites here to me.” So Aḡaḡ came to him delightedly, and Aḡaḡ said, “Truly, the bitterness of death has turned aside.”
1Sa 15:33 And Shemu’ěl said, “As your sword bereaved women, let your mother be bereaved among women too.” Shemu’ěl then hewed Aḡaḡ to pieces before יהוה in Gilgal.
1Sa 15:34 And Shemu’ěl went to Ramah, while Sha’ul went up to his house at Giḇ‛ah of Sha’ul.
1Sa 15:35 And Shemu’ěl did not see Sha’ul again until the day of his death, for Shemu’ěl mourned for Sha’ul. And יהוה was grieved that He had made Sha’ul to reign over Yisra’ěl.
Brit Hadasha: Mark 4:35 – 5:43
Mar 4:35 And on the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, “Let us pass over to the other side.”
Mar 4:36 And having left the crowd, they took Him along in the boat, as He was. And other little boats were also with Him.
Mar 4:37 And there came a great windstorm, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already being filled.
Mar 4:38 And He was in the stern, asleep on a cushion. And they woke Him up and said to Him, “Teacher, is it no concern to You that we perish?”
Mar 4:39 And having been awakened He rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm.
Mar 4:40 And He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? Have you not yet belief?”
Mar 4:41 And they feared exceedingly, and asked each other, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him!”
Mar 5:1 And they came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gaḏarenes.
Mar 5:2 And when He came out of the boat, immediately there met Him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,
Mar 5:3 who had his dwelling among the tombs. And no one was able to bind him, not even with chains,
Mar 5:4 because he had often been bound with shackles and chains but the chains had been pulled apart by him, and the shackles broken in pieces, and no one was able to tame him.
Mar 5:5 And continually, night and day, he was in the mountains and in the tombs, crying out and cutting himself with stones.
Mar 5:6 And seeing יהושע from a distance, he ran and bowed down to Him,
Mar 5:7 and having called out with a loud voice, said, “What have I to do with You, יהושע, Son of the Most High Ěl? Swear to Elohim not to torture me.”
Mar 5:8 For He had said to him, “Come out of the man, unclean spirit!”
Mar 5:9 And He was asking him, “What is your name?” And he answered, saying, “My name is Legion, because we are many.”
Mar 5:10 And he begged Him very much that He would not send them out of the country.
Mar 5:11 Now a great herd of pigs was there, feeding near the mountains.
Mar 5:12 And all the demons begged Him, saying, “Send us to the pigs, so that we enter into them.”
Mar 5:13 And He gave them permission. And the unclean spirits came out and entered into the pigs – they were about two thousand – and the herd rushed down the steep place into the sea, and drowned in the sea.
Mar 5:14 And those who fed the pigs fled, and reported it in the city and in the country. And they went out to see what had taken place.
Mar 5:15 So they came to יהושע, and saw the demon-possessed one, him who had the legion, sitting, and dressed, and in his right mind. And they were afraid.
Mar 5:16 And those who saw it related to them what was done to the demon-possessed one, and about the pigs.
Mar 5:17 And they began to plead with Him to leave their borders.
Mar 5:18 And as He was entering into the boat, he who had been demon-possessed begged Him that he might be with Him.
Mar 5:19 And יהושע did not allow him, but said to him, “Go home to your friends, and report to them what the Master has done for you, and how He had compassion on you.”
Mar 5:20 And he left and began to proclaim in Dekapolis all that יהושע had done for him, and all marvelled.
Mar 5:21 And when יהושע had passed over again by boat to the other side, a large crowd assembled to Him, and He was by the sea.
Mar 5:22 And see, one of the rulers of the congregation came, Ya’ir by name. And when he saw Him, he fell at His feet,
Mar 5:23 and begged Him strongly, saying, “My little daughter lies at the point of death. Come, lay Your hands on her to heal her, and she shall live.”
Mar 5:24 And He went with him. And a large crowd was following Him, and they were thronging Him.
Mar 5:25 And a certain woman had a flow of blood for twelve years,
Mar 5:26 and had suffered much from many physicians, and spent all that she had and was no better, but rather became worse.
Mar 5:27 Having heard about יהושע, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment,
Mar 5:28 for she said, “If I only touch His garments, I shall be made well.”
Mar 5:29 And immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the affliction.
Mar 5:30 And immediately יהושע, knowing in Himself that power had gone out of Him, turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched My garments?”
Mar 5:31 And His taught ones said to Him, “You see the crowd is thronging You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’ ”
Mar 5:32 And He was looking around to see her who did this.
Mar 5:33 And the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what was done to her, came and fell down before Him and spoke to Him all the truth.
Mar 5:34 And He said to her, “Daughter, your belief has healed you. Go in peace, and be relieved from your affliction.”
Mar 5:35 As He was speaking, they came from the ruler of the congregation’s house, saying to him, “Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?”
Mar 5:36 But having heard the word that was spoken, יהושע said to the ruler of the congregation, “Do not be afraid – only believe.”
Mar 5:37 And He allowed no one to follow Him except Kěpha, and Ya‛aqoḇ, and Yoḥanan the brother of Ya‛aqoḇ.
Mar 5:38 So they came to the house of the ruler of the congregation, and saw a commotion, and much weeping and lamenting.
Mar 5:39 And coming in He said to them, “Why make this commotion and weep? The child has not died, but is sleeping.”
Mar 5:40 And they were laughing at Him. And when He had put them all out, He took the father and the mother of the child, and those who were with Him, and went in where the child was lying.
Mar 5:41 And taking the child by the hand He said to her, “Talitha, qumi,” which is translated, “Little girl, I say to you, arise.”
Mar 5:42 And immediately the girl rose up and was walking, for she was twelve years old. And they were completely astonished.
Mar 5:43 But He ordered them many times that no one should know it, and said that she should be given food to eat.
Php 4:10 And I rejoiced in יהוה greatly that now at last your concern for me has revived again – though you were concerned, but had no chance.
Php 4:11 Not that I speak concerning need, for I have learned to be content in whatever state I am.
Php 4:12 I know what it is to be humbled, and I know what it is to have in excess. In any and every situation I have learned both to be filled, and to be hungry, both to have in excess, and to be in need.
Php 4:13 I have strength to do all, through Messiaha who empowers me. Footnote: a Joh_15:5, 2Co_3:5-6, 2Co_12:9, Eph_3:20, Php_2:13, Heb_13:20-21, 1Jn_4:4.
Php 4:14 Yet you did well in sharing in my pressure.
Php 4:15 And you know too, Philippians, that in the beginning of the Good News, when I went out from Makedonia, no assembly shared with me concerning giving and receiving, except you only,
Php 4:16 because, even in Thessalonike you sent to my need, once and twice.
Php 4:17 Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that is multiplying to your account.
Php 4:18 Indeed I have all and more than enough. I have been filled, having received from Epaphroditos what you sent, a sweet-smelling fragrance,b Exo_29:18 an acceptable offering, well-pleasing to Elohim. Footnote: b 2Co_2:14-15, Eph_5:2.
Php 4:19 And my Elohim shall fill all your need according to His riches in esteem by Messiah יהושע.
Php 4:20 And to our Elohim and Father be esteem forever and ever. Aměn.
