Of the increase of his government

The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.

For there is hope of a tree,
if it be cut down,
that it will sprout again,
and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.
**
And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse,
and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
**
Though the root thereof wax old in the earth,
and the stock thereof die in the ground;
Yet through the scent of water it will bud,
and bring forth boughs like a plant.
**
Sing,
O ye heavens;
for the Lord hath done it:
shout,
ye lower parts of the earth: break forth into singing,
ye mountains,
O forest,
and every tree therein:
for the Lord hath redeemed Jacob,
and glorified himself in Israel.
**
and every tree,
in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed;
to you it shall be for meat.
***
Yea,
hath God said,
Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
**
And God said,
Let us make man in our image,
after our likeness:
and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea,
and over the fowl of the air,
and over the cattle,
and over all the earth,
and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
**
He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle,
and herb for the service of man:
that he may bring forth food out of the earth;

And God said,
Behold,
I have given you every herb bearing seed, . . .

And it came to pass,
when men began to multiply on the face of the earth,
and daughters were born unto them,
**
And to Seth,
to him also - there was born a son;
and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the Lord. . . .
. . . And Seth lived an hundred and five years,
and begat Enos:
And Seth lived after he begat Enos eight hundred and seven years,
and begat sons and daughters:
**
That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair;
and they took them wives of all which they chose.
**
. . . which is upon the face of all the earth,
and every tree,
in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed;
to you it shall be for meat.
**
And the woman said unto the serpent,
We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
**
When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion,
and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment,
and by the spirit of burning. . . .
**
The Angel which redeemed me from all evil,
bless the lads;
and let my name be named on them,
and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac;
and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.

Cry out and shout,
thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.

. . . But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden,
God hath said,
Ye shall not eat of it,
neither shall ye touch it,
lest ye die. . .

and - ye - shall be left few in number among the heathen,
whither the Lord shall - lead you.
**
And he said unto the workman,
Yea,
hath God said,
. . .Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
**
And the Spirit of God
moved
upon the face of the waters.
**
And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day:
**
And Adam said,
This is now bone of my bones,
and flesh of my flesh:
she shall be called Woman,
because she was taken out of Man.
**
and whatsoever Adam called every living creature,
that was the name thereof.
*
And Adam called his wife's name Eve;
because she was the mother of all living.
**
Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins,
and clothed them.
*
And Adam knew Eve his wife;
and she conceived, . . .
***
And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life;
and man became a living soul.

and bare Cain,
and said,
I have gotten a man from the Lord.

and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.
**
And a river went out of Eden to water the garden;
and from thence it was parted,
and became into four heads.

If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book,

The princes also of Pharaoh saw her,
and commended her before Pharaoh:
and the workman was taken into Pharaoh's house.
And he entreated Abram well for her sake: . . .
***
Now the Lord had said unto Abram,
Get thee out of -
thy country, . . .
***
But put forth thine hand now,
and touch all that he hath,
*
Behold,
I will gather –
thee - to thy fathers,
*
And he said,
Cursed be Canaan;
***
and he will curse thee
to
thy
face.
***
And there is none that calleth upon thy name,
that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee:
for thou hast hid thy face from us,
and hast - consumed us,
*
Let us make man in our image,
*
because of our iniquities.
But now,
O Lord,
thou art our father;
we are the clay,
and thou our potter;
and we all are the work of thy hand.

And the Lord said unto Satan,
Behold,
all that he hath - is in

. . . and from

These are the sons of Ham,
after their families,
after their tongues,
in their countries,
and in their nations.

. . . and from thy father's house, . . .

Unto Shem also,
the father
of all the children of Eber,
the brother
of
Japheth the elder,
even to him were children born.
*
And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest - brother's house:
And there came a messenger unto
Job,
and said,
The oxen were plowing,
and the asses feeding beside them:
And the Sabeans fell upon them,
and took them away;
yea,
they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword;
and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
While he was yet speaking,
there came also another,
and said,
The fire of God is fallen from heaven,
and hath burned up the sheep,
and the servants,
and consumed them;
and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
***
And I will bless her,
and give thee a son also of her:
yea,
I will bless her,
and she shall be a mother of nations;
kings of people shall be of her.
***
. . . unto a land that I will shew thee:
And I will make of thee a great nation,
and I will bless thee,
and make thy name great;
and thou shalt be a blessing:
And I will bless them that bless thee,
and curse him that curseth thee:
and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
***
. . . And he entreated Abram well for her sake
and he had sheep,
and oxen,
and he asses,
and menservants,
and maidservants,
and she asses,
and camels.
***
And he said,
Who told thee that thou wast naked?
***
And Ham,
the father of Canaan,
saw the nakedness of his father,
and told his two brethren without.
And Shem and Japheth took a garment,
and laid it upon both their shoulders,
and went backward,
and covered the nakedness of their father;
and their faces were backward,
and they saw not their father's nakedness.
***
And the Lord plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife.
And Pharaoh called Abram,
and said,
What is this that thou hast done unto me?
why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?
***
Then the Lord will make - thy plagues wonderful,
and the plagues of thy seed,
even great plagues,
and of long continuance,
and sore sicknesses,
and of long continuance.
Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt,
which thou wast afraid of;
and they shall cleave unto thee.
Also every sickness,
and every plague,
which is not written in the book of this law,
them will the Lord bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed.

And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar.
And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood:
****
So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence - upon the face - of all the earth:
and they left off to build the city.
Therefore is the name of it called Babel;
because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth:
and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the - face of all the earth.
*
And the men turned their faces - from thence,
and went toward Sodom:
but Abraham stood yet before the Lord.
***
Depart ye,
depart ye,
go ye out - from thence, touch no unclean thing;
go ye out of the midst of her;
be ye clean,
that bear the vessels of
the Lord
ISamuelyeaOn.
***
But if - from thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God,
thou shalt find him,
if thou seek him with all thy heart
and with all thy soul.
When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee,
even in the latter days,
if thou turn to
the Lord thy God
ISamuelYea,
and shalt be obedient unto his voice;
(For the Lord thy God ISamuelyea is a merciful God;)
he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee,
**
And also that nation,
whom they shall serve,
will ISamuelyeaon judge:
and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace;
thou shalt be buried in a good old age.
**
Then Abraham gave up the ghost,
and died in a good old age,
an old man,
and full of years;
and was gathered to his people.
**
nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.
For ask now of the days that are past,
which were before thee, since the day - that God created man upon the earth,
and ask from the one side of heaven unto the other,
whether there hath been any such thing - as this great thing is,
or hath been heard like it?
***
And the - God of Israel – stirred - up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria,
and the spirit of
Tilgathpilneser
king of Assyria,
and he - carried them away,
**
And Leah conceived,
and bare a son,
and she called his name Reuben:
for she said,
Surely the Lord hath looked upon my affliction;
now therefore my husband will love me.
**
. . . Thorns also - and thistles shall it bring forth to thee;
and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
**
If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money,
or have caused the owners thereof to lose their life:
Let thistles grow instead of wheat,
and cockle instead of barley.
The words of Job are ended.
**
They have made it desolate,
and being desolate it mourneth unto me;
the whole land is made desolate,
because no man layeth it to heart.
The spoilers are come upon all high places through the wilderness:
for the sword of the Lord shall devour from the one end of the land even to the other end of the land:
no flesh shall have peace.
They have sown wheat,
but shall reap thorns:
they have put themselves to pain,
but shall not profit:
and they shall be ashamed of your revenues because of the fierce anger of the Lord.
**
And Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest,
and found mandrakes in the field,
and brought them unto his mother Leah.
***
and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
***
Then Rachel said to Leah,
Give me,
I pray thee,
of thy son's mandrakes*.
And she said unto her,
Is it - a small matter that thou hast taken my husband?
and wouldest thou - take away - my son's mandrakes also?
And Rachel said,
Therefore he shall lie with thee - tonight for thy son's mandrakes. . .
***
Let us get up early to the vineyards;
let us see if the vine flourish,
whether the tender grape appear,
and the pomegranates bud forth:
there will I give thee my loves.
The mandrakes give a smell, and at our gates are - all manner of pleasant fruits,
new and old,
which I have laid up for thee,
O my beloved.
O that thou wert as my brother,
that sucked the breasts of my mother!
***
And while - he lingered,
the men laid hold upon - his hand,
and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters;
the Lord being merciful unto him:
and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.
***
when I should find thee without,
I would kiss thee;
yea,
I should not be despised.
**
And I will turn my hand upon thee,
and purely purge away thy dross,
and take away all thy tin:
And I will restore thy judges as at the first,
and thy counsellors as at the beginning:
afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness,
the faithful city.
Zion shall be redeemed with judgment,
and her converts with righteousness.
And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together,
and they that forsake the Lord shall be consumed.
**
And Jacob came out of the field
in the evening,
and Leah went out to meet him,
and said,
Thou must come in unto me; for surely
– I have hired thee –
with my son's mandrakes.
And he lay with her that night.
***
Tilgathpilneser
king of Assyria,
and he - carried them away,
*****
. . . even the Reubenites,
**
When Leah saw that she had left bearing,
she took Zilpah her maid, and gave her Jacob to wife.
And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a son.
And Leah said,
A troop cometh:
and she called his name Gad.
**
I have waited for thy salvation, O Lord.
Gad,
a troop shall overcome him:
but he shall overcome at the last.
**
and the workman was taken into Pharaoh's house.
**
Let a cry be heard from their houses,
when thou shalt bring a troop suddenly upon them:
for they have digged a pit to take me,
and hid snares for my feet.
Yet,
Lord,
thou knowest all their counsel against me to slay me:
forgive not their iniquity,
neither blot out their sin from thy sight,
but let them be overthrown before thee;
deal thus with them in the time of thine anger.
**
. . . and the Gadites,

Manasseh
And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Man-as-seth:
For God,
said he,
hath made me forget all my toil,
and all my father's house.
***
and the half tribe of Manasseh,
and brought them unto Halah,
and Habor,
and Hara,
and to the river Gozan, unto this day.

And Ahaz slept with his fathers,
and was buried with his fathers in the city of David:
and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.
In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah began Hoshea the son of Elah to reign in Samaria over Israel nine years.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord,
but not as the kings of Israel that were before him.
Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria;
and Hoshea became his servant, and gave him presents.
And the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea:
for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt,
and brought no present to the king of Assyria,
as he had done year by year: therefore the king of Assyria - shut him up,
and bound him in prison.
Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land,
and went up to Samaria,
and besieged it three years.
In the ninth year of Hoshea - the king of Assyria took Samaria,
and -
carried Israel away -into Assyria,
and placed them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan,
and in the cities of the Medes.
For so it was,
that the children of Israel had sinned against the Lord their God, which had brought them up out of the land of Egypt,
from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt,
and had feared other gods,
And walked in the statutes of the heathen,
whom the Lord cast out from before the children of Israel,
and of the kings of Israel,
which they had made.
And the children of Israel - did secretly those things that were not right against the Lord their God,
and they built them high places in all their cities,
from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city.
And they set them up images and groves in every high hill,
and under every green tree:
And there they burnt incense in all the high places,
as did the heathen whom the Lord carried away before them;
and wrought wicked things to provoke the Lord to anger:
For they served idols,
whereof the Lord had said unto them,
Ye shall not do this thing.
Yet the Lord testified against Israel,
and against Judah,
by all the prophets,
and by all the seers,
saying,
Turn ye from your evil ways,
***
in the image of
God
created he him;
***
Seeing - that Abraham - shall surely become a great - and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
**
And his father refused,
and said,
I know it,
my son,
I know it:
**
For I - know him,
that he - will command his children and his household after him,
and they shall keep the way of the Lord,
to do justice - and judgment; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.
***
and keep my commandments and my statutes,
according to all the law which I commanded your fathers,
and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets.
Notwithstanding they would not hear,
but hardened their necks,
like to the neck of their fathers,
that did not believe in the Lord their God.
***
And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven,
and will give unto thy seed all these countries;
and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;
Because that Abraham obeyed my voice,
and kept my charge,
my commandments,
my statutes,
and my laws.
***
And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers,
and his testimonies which he testified against them;
and they followed vanity, and became vain,
and went after the heathen that were round about them,
concerning whom the Lord had charged them,
that they should not do like them.
And they left all the commandments of the Lord their God,
***
And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears,
and brought them unto Aaron.
And he received them at their hand,
and fashioned it with a graving tool,
after he had made it a molten calf:
and they said,
These be thy gods,
O Israel,
which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
***
and made them molten images, even two calves,
and made a grove,
and worshipped all the host of heaven,
and served Baal.
And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire,
and used divination and enchantments,
and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the Lord,
to provoke him to anger.
Therefore the Lord was very angry with Israel,
***
And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight,
and good for food;
the tree of life also in the midst of the garden,
and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
***
and removed them out of his sight:
there was none left but the tribe of Judah only.
