| 1And behold a man of God came from Judah, at the command of the Lord, to Beth El, and Jeroboam was standing on the altar offering sacrifices. |
|
אוְהִנֵּ֣ה | אִ֣ישׁ אֱלֹהִ֗ים בָּ֧א מִיהוּדָ֛ה בִּדְבַ֥ר יְהֹוָ֖ה אֶל־בֵּֽית־אֵ֑ל וְיָרָבְעָ֛ם עֹמֵ֥ד עַל־הַמִּזְבֵּ֖חַ לְהַקְטִֽיר: |
| And behold a man of God. This was Iddo. |
|
וְהִנֵּה אִישׁ אֱלֹהִים.
זֶה הָיָה עִדּוֹ.
|
| 2And he called [in prophecy] about the altar at the command of the Lord, and he said: "Altar, altar, so said the Lord, "Behold a son will be born to the house of David, Josiah will be his name, and upon you he will slaughter all the priests of the high places who offer sacrifices on you, and human bones will they burn upon you." |
|
בוַיִּקְרָ֚א עַל־הַמִּזְבֵּ֙חַ֙ בִּדְבַ֣ר יְהֹוָ֔ה וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ מִזְבֵּ֣חַ מִזְבֵּ֔חַ כֹּ֖ה אָמַ֣ר יְהֹוָ֑ה הִנֵּֽה־בֵ֞ן נוֹלָ֚ד לְבֵית־דָּוִד֙ יֹאשִׁיָּ֣הוּ שְׁמ֔וֹ וְזָבַ֣ח עָלֶ֗יךָ אֶת־כֹּהֲנֵ֚י הַבָּמוֹת֙ הַמַּקְטִרִ֣ים עָלֶ֔יךָ וְעַצְמ֥וֹת אָדָ֖ם יִשְׁרְפ֥וּ עָלֶֽיךָ: |
| Altar, altar. [Both the one] that is in Beth-El and [the one] that is in Dan. |
|
מִזְבֵּחַ מִזְבֵּחַ.
שֶׁבְּבֵית אֵל וְשֶׁבְּדָן.
|
| and human bones. [This refers to the bones] of Jeroboam, but the prophet dealt him respect. |
|
וְעַצְמוֹת אָדָם.
שֶׁל יָרָבְעָם זֶה, אֶלָּא שֶׁחָלַק לוֹ כָּבוֹד.
|
| 3And he gave a sign on that day saying: "This is the sign that the Lord has spoken." Behold the altar shall be split and the ashes that are upon it shall be spilled." |
|
גוְנָתַן֩ בַּיּ֨וֹם הַה֚וּא מוֹפֵת֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר זֶ֣ה הַמּוֹפֵ֔ת אֲשֶׁ֖ר דִּבֶּ֣ר יְהֹוָ֑ה הִנֵּ֚ה הַמִּזְבֵּ֙חַ֙ נִקְרָ֔ע וְנִשְׁפַּ֖ךְ הַדֶּ֥שֶׁן אֲשֶׁר־עָלָֽיו: |
| And he gave a sign on that day. The prophet gave a sign on the day on which he prophesied. This is your sign: the altar will split by itself and the ashes will be spilled to the ground. |
|
וְנָתַן בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא.
הַנָּבִיא מוֹפֵת לִדְבָרָיו בַּיּוֹם שֶׁנִּתְנַבֵּא, זֶה לָכֶם הָאוֹת, הַמִּזְבֵּחַ נִקְרַע הַיּוֹם מֵאֵלָיו, וְנִשְׁפַּךְ הַדֶּשֶׁן לָאָרֶץ.
|
| 4And it was, when the king heard the words of the man of God, which he proclaimed concerning the altar in Beth El, that Jeroboam stretched out his hand from over the altar saying: "Seize him!" And his hand that he had stretched out against him became stiff, and he could not draw his hand back to himself. |
|
דוַיְהִי֩ כִשְׁמֹ֨עַ הַמֶּ֜לֶךְ אֶת־דְּבַ֣ר אִישׁ־הָאֱלֹהִ֗ים אֲשֶׁ֨ר קָרָ֚א עַל־הַמִּזְבֵּ֙חַ֙ בְּבֵֽית־אֵ֔ל וַיִּשְׁלַ֨ח יָרָבְעָ֧ם אֶת־יָד֛וֹ מֵעַ֥ל הַמִּזְבֵּ֖חַ לֵאמֹ֣ר | תִּפְשֹֻ֑הוּ וַתִּיבַ֚שׁ יָדוֹ֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר שָׁלַ֣ח עָלָ֔יו וְלֹ֥א יָכֹ֖ל לַהֲשִׁיבָ֥הּ אֵלָֽיו: |
| And his hand… became stiff. The Holy One, Blessed be He, avenged the honor of a righteous man more than [He avenged] His own honor. [When] he was standing and offering sacrifices to pagan deities, his hand did not become stiff, yet because of the disdain for the righteous man his hand became stiff. |
|
וַתִּיבַשׁ יָדוֹ.
נָקַם הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא עַל כְּבוֹדוֹ שֶׁל צַדִּיק יוֹתֵר מִכְּבוֹדוֹ, עוֹמֵד וּמַקְטִיר לַעֲבוֹדַת כּוֹכָבִים לֹא יָבְשָׁה יָדוֹ, וּבִשְׁבִיל לַעַז הַצַּדִּיק יָבְשָׁה יָדוֹ.
|
| 5And the altar split, and the ashes fell from the altar in accordance with the sign that the man of God gave by the word of God. |
|

| 6And the King responded and said to the man of God: "Entreat now the Lord your God and pray for me, that my hand be drawn back to me." And the man of God entreated the Lord, and the king's hand was drawn back to him, and it was as before. |
|

|
וַתְּהִי כְּבָרִאשֹׁנָה.

|
| 7The king spoke to the Man of God, "Come with me to my home and dine with me, and I shall give you a gift." |
|

| and dine. and eat. |
|

|
| 8The Man of God said to the king; "If you give me one half of your house, I will not come with you, and I will neither eat bread nor will I drink water in this place. |
|

| 9For so has he commanded me by the words of the Lord saying, 'You shall not eat bread nor drink water, neither shall you return by the road by which you have come.' " |
|

| 10And he went by another road and he did not return by the way through which he had entered Beth El. |
|

| 11And an elderly prophet was sojourning in Beth El, and his son came to him and related to him all the deed that the man of God had performed that day in Beth El, and the words that he had spoken to the king; they related them to their father. |
|

|
| sojourning in Beth-El. He was not from there but from Samaria. So it is stated in the section dealing with Josiah (II Kings 23:18). And they saved his bones with the bones of the prophet who had come from Samaria. |
|

| 12And their father spoke to them: "By which road did he go?" And his sons showed him the road by which the Man of God who had come from Judah, had departed. |
|

|

| 14And he went after the Man of God and he found him sitting under a terebrinth, and he spoke to him: "Are you the Man of God who came from Judah?" And he replied: "I am he." |
|

| 21And He called to the Man of God who had come from Judah, saying, "Thus said the Lord, "Because you have rebelled against the word of the Lord, and you did not keep the commandments that the Lord your God commanded you. |
|

| 23And it was after he had eaten bread and after he had drunk, that he saddled the donkey for the prophet whom he had brought back. |
|

|

|
| 24He went [on his way] and a lion found him and killed him, and his corpse was thrown in the road. The donkey was standing next to it, and the lion was standing next to the corpse. |
|
כדוַיֵּ֕לֶךְ וַיִּמְצָאֵ֧הוּ אַרְיֵ֛ה בַּדֶּ֖רֶךְ וַיְמִיתֵ֑הוּ וַתְּהִ֚י נִבְלָתוֹ֙ מֻשְׁלֶ֣כֶת בַּדֶּ֔רֶךְ וְהַחֲמוֹר֙ עֹמֵ֣ד אֶצְלָ֔הּ וְהָ֣אַרְיֵ֔ה עֹמֵ֖ד אֵ֥צֶל הַנְּבֵלָֽה: |
| 25And here men were passing, and they saw the corpse thrown in the road, and the lion standing next to the corpse; they came and spoke in the city, wherein the old prophet was residing. |
|
כהוְהִנֵּ֧ה אֲנָשִׁ֣ים עֹבְרִ֗ים וַיִּרְא֚וּ אֶת־הַנְּבֵלָה֙ מֻשְׁלֶ֣כֶת בַּדֶּ֔רֶךְ וְאֶת־הָ֣אַרְיֵ֔ה עֹמֵ֖ד אֵ֣צֶל הַנְּבֵלָ֑ה וַיָּבֹ֙אוּ֙ וַיְדַבְּר֣וּ בָעִ֔יר אֲשֶׁ֛ר הַנָּבִ֥יא הַזָּקֵ֖ן יֹשֵׁ֥ב בָּֽהּ: |
| 26And the prophet that had brought him back from the way, heard and he said, "It is a Man of God who rebelled against the command of the Lord, and the Lord has given him to the lion. The lion has torn him asunder and killed him, true to the word of the Lord that He had spoken concerning him." |
|

| 28And he went. He discovered his corpse thrown in the road with the donkey and the lion standing next to the corpse; the lion had not eaten the corpse neither had it torn the donkey asunder. |
|
כחוַיֵּ֗לֶךְ וַיִּמְצָ֚א אֶת־נִבְלָתוֹ֙ מֻשְׁלֶ֣כֶת בַּדֶּ֔רֶךְ וַֽחֲמוֹר֙ וְהָ֣אַרְיֵ֔ה עֹמְדִ֖ים אֵ֣צֶל הַנְּבֵלָ֑ה לֹֽא־אָכַ֚ל הָֽאַרְיֵה֙ אֶת־הַנְּבֵלָ֔ה וְלֹ֥א שָׁבַ֖ר אֶֽת־הַחֲמֽוֹר: |
| 29The prophet carried the corpse of the Man of God, and he placed it on his donkey and brought it back, and he came to the old prophet's city, to eulogize him and bury him. |
|
כטוַיִּשָּׂ֨א הַנָּבִ֜יא אֶת־נִבְלַ֧ת אִישׁ־הָאֱלֹהִ֛ים וַיַּנִּחֵ֥הוּ אֶֽל־הַחֲמ֖וֹר וַיְשִׁיבֵ֑הוּ וַיָּבֹ֗א אֶל־עִיר֙ הַנָּבִ֣יא הַזָּקֵ֔ן לִסְפֹּ֖ד וּלְקָבְרֽוֹ: |
| 30He placed the corpse in his grave and they eulogized him, "Alas my brother!" |
|
לוַיַּנַּ֥ח אֶת־נִבְלָת֖וֹ בְּקִבְר֑וֹ וַיִּסְפְּד֥וּ עָלָ֖יו ה֥וֹי אָחִֽי: |

|
בְּקִבְרוֹ.
בְּבֵית קְבוּרָה שֶׁהָיָה לִנְבִיא הַשֶּׁקֶר הַזֶּה בָּעִיר.
|
| 31And it was after he had buried him, that he said to his children saying, "At my death you shall bury me in the grave wherein the Man of God is buried; next to his bones, place my bones." |
|
לאוַיְהִי֘ אַחֲרֵ֣י קָבְר֣וֹ אֹתוֹ֒ וַיֹּ֚אמֶר אֶל־בָּנָיו֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר בְּמוֹתִי֙ וּקְבַרְתֶּ֣ם אֹתִ֔י בַּקֶ֕בֶר אֲשֶׁ֛ר אִ֥ישׁ הָאֱלֹהִ֖ים קָב֣וּר בּ֑וֹ אֵצֶל עַצְמֹתָ֔יו הַנִּ֖יחוּ אֶת־עַצְמֹתָֽי: |
| 32For the thing that he called out by the word of the Lord, will come to be about the altar that is in Beth El; as about all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria. |
|
לבכִּי֩ הָיֹ֨ה יִהְיֶ֜ה הַדָּבָ֗ר אֲשֶׁ֚ר קָרָא֙ בִּדְבַ֣ר יְהֹוָ֔ה עַל־הַמִּזְבֵּ֖חַ אֲשֶׁ֣ר בְּבֵֽית־אֵ֑ל וְעַל֙ כָּל־בָּתֵּ֣י הַבָּמ֔וֹת אֲשֶׁ֖ר בְּעָרֵ֥י שֹׁמְרֽוֹן: |
| For the thing… will come to be. [i.e., the prophecy mentioned above in v. 2] and human bones they will burn upon you. Perhaps his bones will rescue my bones. |
|
כִּי הָיֹה יִהְיֶה וְגוֹ'.
אוּלַי יְמַלְּטוּ עַצְמוֹתָיו אֶת עַצְמוֹתַי.
|
| 33After this thing Jeroboam did not return from his evil way, but he continued and made of some of the people priests of the high places. Anyone who wished would initiate himself and become [one of] the priests of the high places. |
|

| After this thing. that he saw this wonder and heard the words of the prophet, he, nevertheless, did not return. And our Rabbis expounded: After the Holy One Blessed be He grasped him by his garment and said to him, Repent and I and you and the son of Jesse will stroll in Paradise. |
|
