The Scriptures 1998

1 Kings 8:57-63 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

57. “יהוה our Elohim is with us as He was with our fathers – He does not leave us nor forsake us –

58. to incline our hearts to Himself, to walk in all His ways, and to guard His commands and His laws and His right- rulings, which He commanded our fathers.

59. “And let these words of mine, with which I have made supplication before יהוה, be near יהוה our Elohim day and night, to maintain the cause of His servant and the cause of His people Yisra’ĕl, the matter of each day in its day,

60. so that all the peoples of the earth might know that יהוה is Elohim, there is no one else.

61. “Let your heart therefore be perfect to יהוה our Elohim, to walk in His laws and guard His commands, as at this day.”

62. And the sovereign and all Yisra’ĕl with him made slaughterings before יהוה.

63. And Shelomoh brought peace offerings, which he slaughtered to יהוה, twenty-two thousand bulls and one hundred and twenty thousand sheep. Thus the sovereign and all the children of Yisra’ĕl dedicated the House of יהוה.
