| 4:19 | וְזֹאת עֲשׂוּ לָהֶם וְחָיוּ וְלֹא יָמֻתוּ בְּגִשְׁתָּם אֶת־קֹדֶשׁ הַקֳּדָשִׁים אַהֲרֹן וּבָנָיו יָבֹאוּ וְשָׂמוּ אוֹתָם אִישׁ אִישׁ עַל־עֲבֹדָתוֹ וְאֶל־מַשָּׂאוֹ׃ | Vezot asu lahem vechayu velo yamutu begishtam et-kodesh hakodashim; Aharon uvanav yavou vesamu otam ish ish al-avodato veel-masao. | But do this for them, that they may live and not die when they approach the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go in and appoint each of them to his service and to his burden. |
| 4:20 | וְלֹא־יָבֹאוּ לִרְאוֹת כְּבַלַּע אֶת־הַקֹּדֶשׁ וָמֵתוּ׃ | Velo-yavou lirot kevala et-hakodesh vametu. | But they shall not go in to watch while the holy things are being covered, lest they die.” |

| 20:18 | וַיֹּ֨אמֶר ל֥וֹ יְהוֹנָתָ֖ן מָחָ֣ר חֹ֑דֶשׁ וְנִפְקַ֕דְתָּ כִּ֥י יִפָּקֵ֖ד מוֹשָׁבֶֽךָ׃ | Vayomer lo Yehonatan: Machar chodesh, venifkadeta ki yipaked moshavecha. | Then Jonathan said to him: Tomorrow is the New Moon, and you will be missed because your seat will be empty. |
| 20:19 | וְשִׁלַּשְׁתָּ֙ תֵּרֵ֣ד מְאֹ֔ד וּבָ֣אתָ אֶל־הַמָּק֔וֹם אֲשֶׁר־נִסְתַּ֥רְתָּ שָּׁ֖ם בְּי֣וֹם הַמַּעֲשֶׂ֑ה וְיָשַׁבְתָּ֖ אֵ֥צֶל הָאָֽבֶן הָאָֽזֶל׃ | Veshillashta tered me’od, uvata el-hamakom asher-nistarta sham beyom hama’aseh, veyashavta etzel ha’even ha’azel. | On the third day go down quickly and come to the place where you hid yourself on the day of the deed, and remain beside the stone Ezel. |
| 20:20 | וַאֲנִ֕י שְׁלֹ֥שֶׁת הַחִצִּ֖ים צִדָּ֣ה אוֹרֶ֑ה לְשַׁלַּ֥ח לִ֖י לְמַטָּרָֽה׃ | Va’ani sheloshet hachitzim tzidah oreh leshallach li lematarah. | And I will shoot three arrows to the side, as though I shot at a target. |
| 20:21 | וְהִנֵּ֛ה אֶשְׁלַ֥ח אֶת־הַנַּ֖עַר לֵ֣ךְ מְצָ֣א אֶת־הַחִצִּ֑ים אִם־אָמֹ֡ר אֹמַר֩ לַנַּ֨עַר הִנֵּ֧ה הַחִצִּ֣ים׀ מִמְּךָ֣ וָהֵ֗נָּה קָחֶ֙נּוּ֙ וָבֹ֔אָה כִּֽי־שָׁל֥וֹם לְךָ֛ וְאֵ֥ין דָּבָ֖ר חַי־יְהוָֽה׃ | Vehineh eshlach et-hana’ar: Lech metza et-hachitzim. Im amor omar lana’ar, hineh hachitzim mimcha vahennah, kachennu vavo’ah, ki-shalom lecha ve’ein davar chai-Adonai. | Then behold, I will send a young man, saying: Go, find the arrows. If I expressly say to the young man: Behold, the arrows are on this side of you, take them and come; then come, for there is peace for you and no danger, as the LORD lives. |
| 20:22 | וְאִם־כֹּ֤ה אֹמַר֙ לָעֶ֔לֶם הִנֵּ֥ה הַחִצִּ֖ים מִמְּךָ֣ וָהָ֑לְאָה לֵ֕ךְ כִּ֥י שִׁלַּחֲךָ֖ יְהוָֽה׃ | Ve’im-koh omar la’elem: Hineh hachitzim mimcha vahal’ah, lech ki shillachacha Adonai. | But if I say thus to the young man: Behold, the arrows are beyond you — go your way, for the LORD has sent you away. |
| 20:23 | וְהַדָּבָ֗ר אֲשֶׁ֨ר דִּבַּ֤רְנוּ אֲנִי֙ וָאָ֔תָּה הִנֵּ֥ה יְהוָ֖ה בֵּינִ֥י וּבֵינְךָֽ עַד־עוֹלָֽם׃ | Vehadavar asher dibarnu ani va’atah, hineh Adonai beini uveinecha ad-olam. | And concerning the matter which you and I have spoken of, behold, the LORD is between you and me forever. |
| 20:24 | וַיִּסָּתֵ֥ר דָּוִ֖ד בַּשָּׂדֶ֑ה וַיְהִ֣י הַחֹ֔דֶשׁ וַיֵּ֥שֶׁב הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ אֶל־הַלֶּ֥חֶם לֶאֱכֽוֹל׃ | Vayissater David basadeh; vayehi hachodesh vayeshev hamelech el-halechem le’echol. | So David hid himself in the field. And when the New Moon had come, the king sat down to eat food. |
| 20:25 | וַיֵּ֣שֶׁב הַמֶּ֡לֶךְ עַל־מֽוֹשָׁבוֹ֩ כְּפַ֨עַם בְּפַ֜עַם אֶל־מוֹשַׁ֣ב הַקִּ֗יר וַיָּ֤קָם יְהוֹנָתָן֙ וַיֵּ֣שֶׁב אַבְנֵ֔ר מִצַּ֖ד שָׁא֑וּל וַיִּפָּקֵ֖ד מְק֥וֹם דָּוִֽד׃ | Vayeshev hamelech al-moshavo kefa’am befa’am el-moshav hakir; vayakom Yehonatan vayeshev Avner mitzad Shaul, vayipaked mekom David. | The king sat on his seat as at other times, on the seat by the wall; Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul’s side, but David’s place was empty. |
| 20:26 | וְלֹא־דִבֶּ֥ר שָׁא֛וּל מְא֖וּמָה בַּיּ֣וֹם הַה֑וּא כִּ֤י אָמַר֙ מִקְרֶ֣ה ה֔וּא בִּלְתִּ֥י טָה֖וֹר הֽוּא כִּי־לֹ֥א טָהֽוֹר׃ | Velo diber Shaul me’umah bayom hahu, ki amar: Mikreh hu, bilti tahor hu, ki-lo tahor. | Nevertheless Saul did not say anything that day, for he thought: Something has happened to him; he is not clean, surely he is not clean. |
| 20:27 | וַיְהִ֗י מִֽמָּחֳרַת֙ הַחֹ֔דֶשׁ הַשֵּׁנִ֖י וַיִּפָּקֵ֣ד מְק֣וֹם דָּוִ֑ד וַיֹּ֨אמֶר שָׁא֜וּל אֶל־יְהוֹנָתָ֣ן בְּנ֗וֹ מַדּ֨וּעַ֙ לֹא־בָ֣א בֶן־יִשַׁ֔י גַּם־תְּמ֖וֹל גַּם־הַיּ֥וֹם אֶל־הַלָּֽחֶם׃ | Vayehi mimochorat hachodesh hasheni vayipaked mekom David; vayomer Shaul el-Yehonatan beno: Maddua lo-va ben-Yishai gam-temol gam-hayom el-halachem? | And it came to pass on the next day, the second day of the month, that David’s place was empty; and Saul said to Jonathan his son: Why has the son of Jesse not come to the meal either yesterday or today? |
| 20:28 | וַיַּ֥עַן יְהוֹנָתָ֖ן אֶת־שָׁא֑וּל נִשְׁאֹ֨ל נִשְׁאַ֥ל דָּוִ֛ד מֵעִמָּדִ֖י עַד־בֵּ֥ית לָֽחֶם׃ | Vaya’an Yehonatan et-Shaul: Nish’ol nish’al David me’imadi ad-Beit Lechem. | Jonathan answered Saul: David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Bethlehem. |
| 20:29 | וַיֹּ֡אמֶר שַׁלְּחֵ֣נִי נָּ֠א כִּ֣י זֶֽבַח־מִשְׁפָּחָ֥ה לָ֙נוּ֙ בָּעִ֔יר וְה֥וּא צִוָּה־לִ֖י אָחִ֑י וְעַתָּ֗ה אִם־מָצָ֤אתִי חֵן֙ בְּעֵינֶ֔יךָ אִמָּֽלְטָה־נָּא֙ וְאֶרְאֶ֣ה אֶת־אֶחָ֔י עַל־כֵּ֥ן לֹא־בָ֖א אֶל־שֻׁלְחַ֥ן הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃ | Vayomer: Shallecheni na, ki zevach mishpachah lanu ba’ir vehu tzivah-li achi; ve’atah im-matzati chen be’einecha immaltah-na ve’er’eh et-echai; al-ken lo-va el-shulchan hamelech. | And he said: Please let me go, for our family has a sacrifice in the city, and my brother has commanded me to be there. Now if I have found favor in your eyes, please let me escape and see my brothers. Therefore he has not come to the king’s table. |
| 20:30 | וַיִּֽחַר־אַ֤ף שָׁאוּל֙ בִּיה֣וֹנָתָ֔ן וַיֹּ֣אמֶר ל֔וֹ בֶּן־נַעֲוַ֥ת הַמַּרְדּ֖וּת הֲל֣וֹא יָדַ֗עְתִּי כִּֽי־בֹחֵ֤ר אַתָּה֙ לְבֶן־יִשַׁ֔י לְבָשְׁתְּךָ֖ וּלְבֹ֥שֶׁת עֶרְוַ֥ת אִמֶּֽךָ׃ | Vayichar af-Shaul biYehonatan vayomer lo: Ben-na’avat hamardut! Halo yadati ki-vocher atah leven-Yishai, levoshtecha ulevoshet ervat immecha? | Then Saul’s anger burned against Jonathan, and he said to him: You son of a perverse, rebellious woman! Do I not know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own shame and to the shame of your mother’s nakedness? |
| 20:31 | כִּ֣י כָל־הַיָּמִ֗ים אֲשֶׁ֨ר בֶּן־יִשַׁ֤י חַי֙ עַל־הָ֣אֲדָמָ֔ה לֹא־תִכּ֥וֹן אַתָּ֖ה וּמַלְכוּתֶ֑ךָ וְעַתָּ֗ה שְׁלַ֤ח וְקַח֙ אֹת֔וֹ אֵלַ֖י כִּ֥י בֶן־מָֽוֶת הֽוּא׃ | Ki chol-hayamim asher ben-Yishai chai al-ha’adamah, lo-tikkon atah umalchutecha; ve’atah shelach vekach oto elai ki ben-mavet hu. | For as long as the son of Jesse lives on the earth, neither you nor your kingdom shall be established. Therefore now send and bring him to me, for he must surely die. |
| 20:32 | וַיַּ֤עַן יְהוֹנָתָן֙ אֶת־שָׁא֣וּל אָבִ֔יו וַיֹּ֖אמֶר אֵלָ֑יו לָ֥מָּה יוּמַ֖ת מֶה־עָשָֽׂה׃ | Vaya’an Yehonatan et-Shaul aviv vayomer elav: Lamah yumat? Meh asah? | And Jonathan answered Saul his father and said to him: Why should he be put to death? What has he done? |
| 20:33 | וַיָּ֨טֶל שָׁא֧וּל אֶת־הַחֲנִ֛ית עָלָ֖יו לְהַכֹּת֑וֹ וַיֵּ֣דַע יְהוֹנָתָ֔ן כִּֽי־כָלָ֥ה הִ֛יא מֵעִ֥ם אָבִ֖יו לְהָמִ֥ית אֶת־דָּוִֽד׃ | Vayatel Shaul et-hachanit alav lehakkoto; vayedah Yehonatan ki-chalah hi me’im aviv lehamit et-David. | Then Saul hurled the spear at him to strike him. So Jonathan knew that it was determined by his father to put David to death. |
| 20:34 | וַיָּ֨קָם יְהוֹנָתָ֜ן מֵעִ֤ם הַשֻּׁלְחָן֙ בָּחֳרִי־אָ֔ף וְלֹא־אָכַ֥ל בְּיֽוֹם־הַחֹ֖דֶשׁ הַשֵּׁנִ֣י לֶ֑חֶם כִּ֣י נֶעְצַ֔ב אֶל־דָּוִ֖ד כִּ֥י הִכְלִמֽוֹ אָבִֽיו׃ | Vayakom Yehonatan me’im hashulchan bachori-af, velo-achal beyom-hachodesh hasheni lechem, ki ne’etzav el-David ki hichlimo aviv. | So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and ate no food the second day of the month; for he was grieved for David, because his father had disgraced him. |
| 20:35 | וַיְהִ֣י בַבֹּ֔קֶר וַיֵּצֵ֥א יְהוֹנָתָ֖ן הַשָּׂדֶ֑ה לְמוֹעֵ֖ד דָּוִ֑ד וְנַ֥עַר קָטֹ֖ן עִמּֽוֹ׃ | Vayehi vaboker vayetze Yehonatan hasadeh lemo’ed David, vena’ar katon imo. | And it came to pass in the morning that Jonathan went out into the field at the appointed time with David, and a little boy was with him. |
| 20:36 | וַיֹּ֣אמֶר לְנַעֲר֔וֹ ר֥וּץ מְצָ֖א נָ֣א אֶת־הַחִצִּ֑ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר אָנֹכִ֖י מוֹרֶֽה וְהַנַּ֣עַר רָ֔ץ וְה֗וּא יָרָ֛ה הַחֵ֖צִי לְהַעֲבִרֽוֹ׃ | Vayomer lena’aro: Rutz metza na et-hachitzim asher anochi moreh. Vehana’ar ratz, vehu yarah hachetzi leha’aviro. | Then he said to his boy: Run, find now the arrows which I shoot. As the boy ran, he shot an arrow beyond him. |
| 20:37 | וַיָּבֹ֤א הַנַּ֙עַר֙ עַד־מְק֣וֹם הַחֵ֔צִי אֲשֶׁ֥ר יָרָ֖ה יְהוֹנָתָ֑ן וַיִּקְרָ֨א יְהוֹנָתָ֜ן אַחֲרֵ֤י הַנַּ֙עַר֙ וַיֹּ֔אמֶר הֲל֥וֹא הַחֵ֖צִי מִמְּךָ֥ וָהָֽלְאָה׃ | Vayavo hana’ar ad-mekom hachetzi asher yarah Yehonatan; vayikra Yehonatan acharei hana’ar vayomer: Halo hachetzi mimcha vahal’ah? | When the boy came to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried out after the boy and said: Is not the arrow beyond you? |
| 20:38 | וַיִּקְרָ֤א יְהוֹנָתָן֙ אַחֲרֵ֣י הַנַּ֔עַר מְהֵרָ֥ה ח֖וּשָׁה אַל־תַּעֲמֹ֑ד וַיְלַקֵּ֞ט נַ֤עַר יְהוֹנָתָן֙ אֶת־הַ֣חִצִּ֔ים וַיָּבֹ֖א אֶל־אֲדֹנָֽיו׃ | Vayikra Yehonatan acharei hana’ar: Meherah chushah al-ta’amod! Vayelaket na’ar Yehonatan et-hachitzim vayavo el-adonav. | And Jonathan cried after the boy: Hurry, make haste, do not delay! So Jonathan’s boy gathered up the arrows and came to his master. |
| 20:39 | וְהַנַּ֖עַר לֹ֣א יָדַ֑ע מְא֔וּמָה אַ֗ךְ יְהוֹנָתָ֤ן וְדָּוִד֙ יָדְע֣וּ אֶת־הַדָּבָ֔ר׃ | Vehana’ar lo yada me’umah; ach Yehonatan veDavid yad’u et-hadavar. | But the boy knew nothing; only Jonathan and David knew the matter. |
| 20:40 | וַיִּתֵּ֤ן יְהוֹנָתָן֙ אֶת־כֵּלָ֔יו אֶל־הַנַּ֖עַר אֲשֶׁ֣ר ל֑וֹ וַיֹּ֣אמֶר ל֔וֹ לֵ֖ךְ הָבֵ֥א הָעִֽיר׃ | Vayiten Yehonatan et-kelav el-hana’ar asher lo, vayomer lo: Lech have ha’ir. | Then Jonathan gave his weapons to the boy and said to him: Go, carry them to the city. |
| 20:41 | הַנַּ֣עַר בָּ֔א וְדָוִ֗ד קָ֚ם מֵאֵ֣צֶל הַנֶּ֔גֶב וַיִּפֹּ֥ל לְאַפָּ֖יו אַ֣רְצָה וַיִּשְׁתַּ֑חוּ שָׁלֹ֣שׁ פְּעָמִ֗ים וַיִּשְּׁק֤וּ אִישׁ֙ אֶת־רֵעֵ֔הוּ וַיִּבְכּ֖וּ אִישׁ־אֶת־רֵעֵ֑הוּ עַ֥ד דָּוִ֖ד הִגְדִּֽיל׃ | Hana’ar ba, veDavid kam me’etzel hanegev vayipol le’apav artzah vayishtachu shalosh pe’amim; vayishku ish et-re’ehu vayivku ish et-re’ehu ad-David higdil. | As soon as the boy had gone, David arose from beside the south side and fell on his face to the ground and bowed three times. And they kissed one another and wept with one another, until David exceeded. |
| 20:42 | וַיֹּ֧אמֶר יְהוֹנָתָ֛ן לְדָוִ֖ד לֵ֣ךְ לְשָׁל֑וֹם אֲשֶׁר֩ נִשְׁבַּ֨עְנוּ שְׁנֵ֜ינוּ אֲנַ֗חְנוּ בְּשֵׁ֤ם יְהוָה֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר יְהוָ֞ה יִהְיֶ֣ה׀ בֵּינִ֣י וּבֵינֶ֗ךָ וּבֵ֤ין זַרְעִי֙ וּבֵ֣ין זַרְעֲךָ֔ עַד־עוֹלָ֑ם וַיָּ֣קָם וַיֵּלַ֔ךְ וִיהוֹנָתָ֖ן בָּ֥א הָעִֽיר׃ | Vayomer Yehonatan leDavid: Lech leshalom, asher nishba’nu sheneinu anachnu beshem Adonai lemor: Adonai yihyeh beini uveinecha uvein zar’i uvein zar’echa ad-olam. Vayakom vayelech, viYehonatan ba ha’ir. | Then Jonathan said to David: Go in peace, since we have both sworn in the name of the LORD, saying: May the LORD be between you and me, and between your descendants and my descendants forever. So he arose and departed, and Jonathan went into the city. |
