Ps 78

AA contemplation by Asaph. Hear my teaching, my people. Turn your ears to the words of my mouth. (LXX 77:1; Rahlfs 77:1) מַשְׂכִּ֗יל לְאָ֫סָ֥ף הַאֲזִ֣ינָה עַ֭מִּי תּוֹרָתִ֑י הַטּ֥וּ אָ֝זְנְכֶ֗ם לְאִמְרֵי־פִֽי׃ 2I will open my mouth in a parable. I will utter dark sayings of old, (LXX 77:2; Rahlfs 77:2) אֶפְתְּחָ֣ה בְמָשָׁ֣ל פִּ֑י אַבִּ֥יעָה חִ֝יד֗וֹת מִנִּי־קֶֽדֶם׃ 3which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us. (LXX 77:3; Rahlfs 77:3) אֲשֶׁ֣ר שָׁ֭מַעְנוּ וַנֵּדָעֵ֑ם וַ֝אֲבוֹתֵ֗ינוּ סִפְּרוּ־לָֽנוּ׃ 4We will not hide them from their children, telling to the generation to come the praises of Yahweh, his strength, and his wondrous deeds that he has done. (LXX 77:4; Rahlfs 77:4) לֹ֤א נְכַחֵ֨ד ׀ מִבְּנֵיהֶ֗ם לְד֥וֹר אַחֲר֗וֹן מְֽ֭סַפְּרִים תְּהִלּ֣וֹת יְהוָ֑ה וֶעֱזוּז֥וֹ וְ֝נִפְלְאוֹתָ֗יו אֲשֶׁ֣ר עָשָֽׂה׃ 5For he established a covenant in Jacob, and appointed a teaching in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children; (LXX 77:5; Rahlfs 77:5) וַיָּ֤קֶם עֵד֨וּת ׀ בְּֽיַעֲקֹ֗ב וְתוֹרָה֮ שָׂ֤ם בְּיִשְׂרָ֫אֵ֥ל אֲשֶׁ֣ר צִ֭וָּה אֶת־אֲבוֹתֵ֑ינוּ לְ֝הוֹדִיעָ֗ם לִבְנֵיהֶֽם׃ 6that the generation to come might know, even the children who should be born; who should arise and tell their children, (LXX 77:6; Rahlfs 77:6) לְמַ֤עַן יֵדְע֨וּ ׀ דּ֣וֹר אַ֭חֲרוֹן בָּנִ֣ים יִוָּלֵ֑דוּ יָ֝קֻ֗מוּ וִֽיסַפְּר֥וּ לִבְנֵיהֶֽם׃ 7that they might set their hope in God, and not forget God’s deeds, but keep his commandments, (LXX 77:7; Rahlfs 77:7) וְיָשִׂ֥ימוּ בֵֽאלֹהִ֗ים כִּ֫סְלָ֥ם וְלֹ֣א יִ֭שְׁכְּחוּ מַֽעַלְלֵי־אֵ֑ל וּמִצְוֺתָ֥יו יִנְצֹֽרוּ׃ 8and might not be as their fathers— a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that didn’t make their hearts loyal, whose spirit was not steadfast with God. (LXX 77:8; Rahlfs 77:8) וְלֹ֤א יִהְי֨וּ ׀ כַּאֲבוֹתָ֗ם דּוֹר֮ סוֹרֵ֪ר וּמֹ֫רֶ֥ה דּ֭וֹר לֹא־הֵכִ֣ין לִבּ֑וֹ וְלֹא־נֶאֶמְנָ֖ה אֶת־אֵ֣ל רוּחֽוֹ׃ 9The children of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle. (LXX 77:9; Rahlfs 77:9) בְּֽנֵי־אֶפְרַ֗יִם נוֹשְׁקֵ֥י רוֹמֵי־קָ֑שֶׁת הָ֝פְכ֗וּ בְּי֣וֹם קְרָֽב׃ 10They didn’t keep God’s covenant, and refused to walk in his law. (LXX 77:10; Rahlfs 77:10) לֹ֣א שָׁ֭מְרוּ בְּרִ֣ית אֱלֹהִ֑ים וּ֝בְתוֹרָת֗וֹ מֵאֲנ֥וּ לָלֶֽכֶת׃ 11They forgot his doings, his wondrous deeds that he had shown them. (LXX 77:11; Rahlfs 77:11) וַיִּשְׁכְּח֥וּ עֲלִילוֹתָ֑יו וְ֝נִפְלְאוֹתָ֗יו אֲשֶׁ֣ר הֶרְאָֽם׃ 12He did marvelous things in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan. (LXX 77:12; Rahlfs 77:12) נֶ֣גֶד אֲ֭בוֹתָם עָ֣שָׂה פֶ֑לֶא בְּאֶ֖רֶץ מִצְרַ֣יִם שְׂדֵה־צֹֽעַן׃ 13He split the sea, and caused them to pass through. He made the waters stand as a heap. (LXX 77:13; Rahlfs 77:13) בָּ֣קַע יָ֭ם וַיַּֽעֲבִירֵ֑ם וַֽיַּצֶּב־מַ֥יִם כְּמוֹ־נֵֽד׃ 14In the daytime he also led them with a cloud, and all night with a light of fire. (LXX 77:14; Rahlfs 77:14) וַיַּנְחֵ֣ם בֶּעָנָ֣ן יוֹמָ֑ם וְכָל־הַ֝לַּ֗יְלָה בְּא֣וֹר אֵֽשׁ׃ 15He split rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink abundantly as out of the depths. (LXX 77:15; Rahlfs 77:15) יְבַקַּ֣ע צֻ֭רִים בַּמִּדְבָּ֑ר וַ֝יַּ֗שְׁקְ כִּתְהֹמ֥וֹת רַבָּֽה׃ 16He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers. (LXX 77:16; Rahlfs 77:16) וַיּוֹצִ֣א נוֹזְלִ֣ים מִסָּ֑לַע וַיּ֖וֹרֶד כַּנְּהָר֣וֹת מָֽיִם׃ 17Yet they still went on to sin against him, to rebel against the Most High in the desert. (LXX 77:17; Rahlfs 77:17) וַיּוֹסִ֣יפוּ ע֭וֹד לַחֲטֹא־ל֑וֹ לַֽמְר֥וֹת עֶ֝לְי֗וֹן בַּצִּיָּֽה׃ 18They tempted God in their heart by asking food according to their desire. (LXX 77:18; Rahlfs 77:18) וַיְנַסּוּ־אֵ֥ל בִּלְבָבָ֑ם לִֽשְׁאָל־אֹ֥כֶל לְנַפְשָֽׁם׃ 19Yes, they spoke against God. They said, “Can God prepare a table in the wilderness? (LXX 77:19; Rahlfs 77:19) וַֽיְדַבְּר֗וּ בֵּֽאלֹ֫הִ֥ים אָ֭מְרוּ הֲי֣וּכַל אֵ֑ל לַעֲרֹ֥ךְ שֻׁ֝לְחָ֗ן בַּמִּדְבָּֽר׃ 20Behold, he struck the rock, so that waters gushed out, and streams overflowed. Can he give bread also? Will he provide meat for his people?” (LXX 77:20; Rahlfs 77:20) הֵ֤ן הִכָּה־צ֨וּר ׀ וַיָּז֣וּבוּ מַיִם֮ וּנְחָלִ֪ים יִ֫שְׁטֹ֥פוּ הֲגַם־לֶ֭חֶם י֣וּכַל תֵּ֑ת אִם־יָכִ֖ין שְׁאֵ֣ר לְעַמּֽוֹ׃ 21Therefore Yahweh heard, and was angry. A fire was kindled against Jacob, anger also went up against Israel, (LXX 77:21; Rahlfs 77:21) לָכֵ֤ן ׀ שָׁמַ֥ע יְהוָ֗ה וַֽיִּתְעַבָּ֥ר וְ֭אֵשׁ נִשְּׂקָ֣ה בְיַעֲקֹ֑ב וְגַם־אַ֝֗ף עָלָ֥ה בְיִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ 22because they didn’t believe in God, and didn’t trust in his salvation. (LXX 77:22; Rahlfs 77:22) כִּ֤י לֹ֣א הֶ֭אֱמִינוּ בֵּאלֹהִ֑ים וְלֹ֥א בָ֝טְח֗וּ בִּֽישׁוּעָתֽוֹ׃ 23Yet he commanded the skies above, and opened the doors of heaven. (LXX 77:23; Rahlfs 77:23) וַיְצַ֣ו שְׁחָקִ֣ים מִמָּ֑עַל וְדַלְתֵ֖י שָׁמַ֣יִם פָּתָֽח׃ 24He rained down manna on them to eat, and gave them food from the sky. (LXX 77:24; Rahlfs 77:24) וַיַּמְטֵ֬ר עֲלֵיהֶ֣ם מָ֣ן לֶאֱכֹ֑ל וּדְגַן־שָׁ֝מַ֗יִם נָ֣תַן לָֽמוֹ׃ 25Man ate the bread of angels. He sent them food to the full. (LXX 77:25; Rahlfs 77:25) לֶ֣חֶם אַ֭בִּירִים אָ֣כַל אִ֑ישׁ צֵידָ֬ה שָׁלַ֖ח לָהֶ֣ם לָשֹֽׂבַע׃ 26He caused the east wind to blow in the sky. By his power he guided the south wind. (LXX 77:26; Rahlfs 77:26) יַסַּ֣ע קָ֭דִים בַּשָּׁמָ֑יִם וַיְנַהֵ֖ג בְּעֻזּ֣וֹ תֵימָֽן׃ 27He also rained meat on them as the dust, winged birds as the sand of the seas. (LXX 77:27; Rahlfs 77:27) וַיַּמְטֵ֬ר עֲלֵיהֶ֣ם כֶּעָפָ֣ר שְׁאֵ֑ר וּֽכְח֥וֹל יַ֝מִּ֗ים ע֣וֹף כָּנָֽף׃ 28He let them fall in the middle of their camp, around their habitations. (LXX 77:28; Rahlfs 77:28) וַ֭יַּפֵּל בְּקֶ֣רֶב מַחֲנֵ֑הוּ סָ֝בִ֗יב לְמִשְׁכְּנֹתָֽיו׃ 29So they ate, and were well filled. He gave them their own desire. (LXX 77:29; Rahlfs 77:29) וַיֹּאכְל֣וּ וַיִּשְׂבְּע֣וּ מְאֹ֑ד וְ֝תַֽאֲוָתָ֗ם יָבִ֥א לָהֶֽם׃ 30They didn’t turn from their cravings. Their food was yet in their mouths, (LXX 77:30; Rahlfs 77:30) לֹא־זָר֥וּ מִתַּאֲוָתָ֑ם ע֝֗וֹד אָכְלָ֥ם בְּפִיהֶֽם׃ 31when the anger of God went up against them, killed some of their strongest, and struck down the young men of Israel. (LXX 77:31; Rahlfs 77:31) וְאַ֤ף אֱלֹהִ֨ים ׀ עָ֘לָ֤ה בָהֶ֗ם וַֽ֭יַּהֲרֹג בְּמִשְׁמַנֵּיהֶ֑ם וּבַחוּרֵ֖י יִשְׂרָאֵ֣ל הִכְרִֽיעַ׃ 32For all this they still sinned, and didn’t believe in his wondrous works. (LXX 77:32; Rahlfs 77:32) בְּכָל־זֹ֭את חָֽטְאוּ־ע֑וֹד וְלֹֽא־הֶ֝אֱמִ֗ינוּ בְּנִפְלְאוֹתָֽיו׃ 33Therefore he consumed their days in vanity, and their years in terror. (LXX 77:33; Rahlfs 77:33) וַיְכַל־בַּהֶ֥בֶל יְמֵיהֶ֑ם וּ֝שְׁנוֹתָ֗ם בַּבֶּהָלָֽה׃ 34When he killed them, then they inquired after him. They returned and sought God earnestly. (LXX 77:34; Rahlfs 77:34) אִם־הֲרָגָ֥ם וּדְרָשׁ֑וּהוּ וְ֝שָׁ֗בוּ וְשִֽׁחֲרוּ־אֵֽל׃ 35They remembered that God was their rock, the Most High God, their redeemer. (LXX 77:35; Rahlfs 77:35) וַֽ֭יִּזְכְּרוּ כִּֽי־אֱלֹהִ֣ים צוּרָ֑ם וְאֵ֥ל עֶ֝לְיוֹן גֹּאֲלָֽם׃ 36But they flattered him with their mouth, and lied to him with their tongue. (LXX 77:36; Rahlfs 77:36) וַיְפַתּ֥וּהוּ בְּפִיהֶ֑ם וּ֝בִלְשׁוֹנָ֗ם יְכַזְּבוּ־לֽוֹ׃ 37For their heart was not right with him, neither were they faithful in his covenant. (LXX 77:37; Rahlfs 77:37) וְ֭לִבָּם לֹא־נָכ֣וֹן עִמּ֑וֹ וְלֹ֥א נֶ֝אֶמְנ֗וּ בִּבְרִיתֽוֹ׃ 38But he, being merciful, forgave iniquity, and didn’t destroy them. Yes, many times he turned his anger away, and didn’t stir up all his wrath. (LXX 77:38; Rahlfs 77:38) וְה֤וּא רַח֨וּם ׀ יְכַפֵּ֥ר עָוֺן֮ וְֽלֹא־יַ֫שְׁחִ֥ית וְ֭הִרְבָּה לְהָשִׁ֣יב אַפּ֑וֹ וְלֹֽא־יָ֝עִיר כָּל־חֲמָתֽוֹ׃ 39He remembered that they were but flesh, a wind that passes away, and doesn’t come again. (LXX 77:39; Rahlfs 77:39) וַ֭יִּזְכֹּר כִּי־בָשָׂ֣ר הֵ֑מָּה ר֥וּחַ ה֝וֹלֵ֗ךְ וְלֹ֣א יָשֽׁוּב׃ 40How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness, and grieved him in the desert! (LXX 77:40; Rahlfs 77:40) כַּ֭מָּה יַמְר֣וּהוּ בַמִּדְבָּ֑ר יַ֝עֲצִיב֗וּהוּ בִּֽישִׁימֽוֹן׃ 41They turned again and tempted God, and provoked the Holy One of Israel. (LXX 77:41; Rahlfs 77:41) וַיָּשׁ֣וּבוּ וַיְנַסּ֣וּ אֵ֑ל וּקְד֖וֹשׁ יִשְׂרָאֵ֣ל הִתְווּ׃ 42They didn’t remember his hand, nor the day when he redeemed them from the adversary; (LXX 77:42; Rahlfs 77:42) לֹא־זָכְר֥וּ אֶת־יָד֑וֹ י֝֗וֹם אֲֽשֶׁר־פָּדָ֥ם מִנִּי־צָֽר׃ 43how he set his signs in Egypt, his wonders in the field of Zoan, (LXX 77:43; Rahlfs 77:43) אֲשֶׁר־שָׂ֣ם בְּ֭מִצְרַיִם אֹֽתוֹתָ֑יו וּ֝מוֹפְתָ֗יו בִּשְׂדֵה־צֹֽעַן׃ 44he turned their rivers into blood, and their streams, so that they could not drink. (LXX 77:44; Rahlfs 77:44) וַיַּהֲפֹ֣ךְ לְ֭דָם יְאֹרֵיהֶ֑ם וְ֝נֹזְלֵיהֶ֗ם בַּל־יִשְׁתָּיֽוּן׃ 45He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them. (LXX 77:45; Rahlfs 77:45) יְשַׁלַּ֬ח בָּהֶ֣ם עָ֭רֹב וַיֹּאכְלֵ֑ם וּ֝צְפַרְדֵּ֗עַ וַתַּשְׁחִיתֵֽם׃ 46He also gave their increase to the caterpillar, and their labor to the locust. (LXX 77:46; Rahlfs 77:46) וַיִּתֵּ֣ן לֶחָסִ֣יל יְבוּלָ֑ם וִֽ֝יגִיעָ֗ם לָאַרְבֶּֽה׃ 47He destroyed their vines with hail, their sycamore fig trees with frost. (LXX 77:47; Rahlfs 77:47) יַהֲרֹ֣ג בַּבָּרָ֣ד גַּפְנָ֑ם וְ֝שִׁקְמוֹתָ֗ם בַּֽחֲנָמַֽל׃ 48He also gave over their livestock to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts. (LXX 77:48; Rahlfs 77:48) וַיַּסְגֵּ֣ר לַבָּרָ֣ד בְּעִירָ֑ם וּ֝מִקְנֵיהֶ֗ם לָרְשָׁפִֽים׃ 49He threw on them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, indignation, and trouble, and a band of angels of evil. (LXX 77:49; Rahlfs 77:49) יְשַׁלַּח־בָּ֨ם ׀ חֲר֬וֹן אַפּ֗וֹ עֶבְרָ֣ה וָזַ֣עַם וְצָרָ֑ה מִ֝שְׁלַ֗חַת מַלְאֲכֵ֥י רָעִֽים׃ 50He made a path for his anger. He didn’t spare their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence, (LXX 77:50; Rahlfs 77:50) יְפַלֵּ֥ס נָתִ֗יב לְאַ֫פּ֥וֹ לֹא־חָשַׂ֣ךְ מִמָּ֣וֶת נַפְשָׁ֑ם וְ֝חַיָּתָ֗ם לַדֶּ֥בֶר הִסְגִּֽיר׃ 51and struck all the firstborn in Egypt, the chief of their strength in the tents of Ham. (LXX 77:51; Rahlfs 77:51) וַיַּ֣ךְ כָּל־בְּכ֣וֹר בְּמִצְרָ֑יִם רֵאשִׁ֥ית א֝וֹנִ֗ים בְּאָהֳלֵי־חָֽם׃ 52But he led out his own people like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock. (LXX 77:52; Rahlfs 77:52) וַיַּסַּ֣ע כַּצֹּ֣אן עַמּ֑וֹ וַֽיְנַהֲגֵ֥ם כַּ֝עֵ֗דֶר בַּמִּדְבָּֽר׃ 53He led them safely, so that they weren’t afraid, but the sea overwhelmed their enemies. (LXX 77:53; Rahlfs 77:53) וַיַּנְחֵ֣ם לָ֭בֶטַח וְלֹ֣א פָחָ֑דוּ וְאֶת־א֝וֹיְבֵיהֶ֗ם כִּסָּ֥ה הַיָּֽם׃ 54He brought them to the border of his sanctuary, to this mountain, which his right hand had taken. (LXX 77:54; Rahlfs 77:54) וַ֭יְבִיאֵם אֶל־גְּב֣וּל קָדְשׁ֑וֹ הַר־זֶ֝֗ה קָנְתָ֥ה יְמִינֽוֹ׃ 55He also drove out the nations before them, allotted them for an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents. (LXX 77:55; Rahlfs 77:55) וַיְגָ֤רֶשׁ מִפְּנֵיהֶ֨ם ׀ גּוֹיִ֗ם וַֽ֭יַּפִּילֵם בְּחֶ֣בֶל נַחֲלָ֑ה וַיַּשְׁכֵּ֥ן בְּ֝אָהֳלֵיהֶ֗ם שִׁבְטֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ 56Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God, and didn’t keep his testimonies, (LXX 77:56; Rahlfs 77:56) וַיְנַסּ֣וּ וַ֭יַּמְרוּ אֶת־אֱלֹהִ֣ים עֶלְי֑וֹן וְ֝עֵדוֹתָ֗יו לֹ֣א שָׁמָֽרוּ׃ 57but turned back, and dealt treacherously like their fathers. They were twisted like a deceitful bow. (LXX 77:57; Rahlfs 77:57) וַיִּסֹּ֣גוּ וַֽ֭יִּבְגְּדוּ כַּאֲבוֹתָ֑ם נֶ֝הְפְּכ֗וּ כְּקֶ֣שֶׁת רְמִיָּֽה׃ 58For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their engraved images. (LXX 77:58; Rahlfs 77:58) וַיַּכְעִיס֥וּהוּ בְּבָמוֹתָ֑ם וּ֝בִפְסִילֵיהֶ֗ם יַקְנִיאֽוּהוּ׃ 59When God heard this, he was angry, and greatly abhorred Israel, (LXX 77:59; Rahlfs 77:59) שָׁמַ֣ע אֱ֭לֹהִים וַֽיִּתְעַבָּ֑ר וַיִּמְאַ֥ס מְ֝אֹ֗ד בְּיִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ 60so that he abandoned the tent of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men, (LXX 77:60; Rahlfs 77:60) וַ֭יִּטֹּשׁ מִשְׁכַּ֣ן שִׁל֑וֹ אֹ֝֗הֶל שִׁכֵּ֥ן בָּאָדָֽם׃ 61and delivered his strength into captivity, his glory into the adversary’s hand. (LXX 77:61; Rahlfs 77:61) וַיִּתֵּ֣ן לַשְּׁבִ֣י עֻזּ֑וֹ וְֽתִפְאַרְתּ֥וֹ בְיַד־צָֽר׃ 62He also gave his people over to the sword, and was angry with his inheritance. (LXX 77:62; Rahlfs 77:62) וַיַּסְגֵּ֣ר לַחֶ֣רֶב עַמּ֑וֹ וּ֝בְנַחֲלָת֗וֹ הִתְעַבָּֽר׃ 63Fire devoured their young men. Their virgins had no wedding song. (LXX 77:63; Rahlfs 77:63) בַּחוּרָ֥יו אָֽכְלָה־אֵ֑שׁ וּ֝בְתוּלֹתָ֗יו לֹ֣א הוּלָּֽלוּ׃ 64Their priests fell by the sword, and their widows couldn’t weep. (LXX 77:64; Rahlfs 77:64) כֹּ֭הֲנָיו בַּחֶ֣רֶב נָפָ֑לוּ וְ֝אַלְמְנֹתָ֗יו לֹ֣א תִבְכֶּֽינָה׃ 65Then the Lord awakened as one out of sleep, like a mighty man who shouts by reason of wine. (LXX 77:65; Rahlfs 77:65) וַיִּקַ֖ץ כְּיָשֵׁ֥ן ׀ אֲדֹנָ֑י כְּ֝גִבּ֗וֹר מִתְרוֹנֵ֥ן מִיָּֽיִן׃ 66He struck his adversaries backward. He put them to a perpetual reproach. (LXX 77:66; Rahlfs 77:66) וַיַּךְ־צָרָ֥יו אָח֑וֹר חֶרְפַּ֥ת ע֝וֹלָ֗ם נָ֣תַן לָֽמוֹ׃ 67Moreover he rejected the tent of Joseph, and didn’t choose the tribe of Ephraim, (LXX 77:67; Rahlfs 77:67) וַ֭יִּמְאַס בְּאֹ֣הֶל יוֹסֵ֑ף וּֽבְשֵׁ֥בֶט אֶ֝פְרַ֗יִם לֹ֣א בָחָֽר׃ 68But chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion which he loved. (LXX 77:68; Rahlfs 77:68) וַ֭יִּבְחַר אֶת־שֵׁ֣בֶט יְהוּדָ֑ה אֶֽת־הַ֥ר צִ֝יּ֗וֹן אֲשֶׁ֣ר אָהֵֽב׃ 69He built his sanctuary like the heights, like the earth which he has established forever. (LXX 77:69; Rahlfs 77:69) וַיִּ֣בֶן כְּמוֹ־רָ֭מִים מִקְדָּשׁ֑וֹ כְּ֝אֶ֗רֶץ יְסָדָ֥הּ לְעוֹלָֽם׃ 70He also chose David his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds; (LXX 77:70; Rahlfs 77:70) וַ֭יִּבְחַר בְּדָוִ֣ד עַבְדּ֑וֹ וַ֝יִּקָּחֵ֗הוּ מִֽמִּכְלְאֹ֥ת צֹֽאן׃ 71from following the ewes that have their young, he brought him to be the shepherd of Jacob, his people, and Israel, his inheritance. (LXX 77:71; Rahlfs 77:71) מֵאַחַ֥ר עָל֗וֹת הֱ֫בִיא֥וֹ לִ֭רְעוֹת בְּיַעֲקֹ֣ב עַמּ֑וֹ וּ֝בְיִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל נַחֲלָתֽוֹ׃ 72So he was their shepherd according to the integrity of his heart, and guided them by the skillfulness of his hands. (LXX 77:72; Rahlfs 77:72) וַ֭יִּרְעֵם כְּתֹ֣ם לְבָב֑וֹ וּבִתְבוּנ֖וֹת כַּפָּ֣יו יַנְחֵֽם׃
