1 Samuel 7:3New Messianic Version BibleAnd Sh’mu’el [His name is El] spoke unto all the house of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], saying, If you2f do return unto the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) with all your hearts, [then] put away the strange gods and ‘Ashtarot [Star (female deity)] from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and serve him only: and he will deliver you out of the hand of the P’lishtim [Immigrants]. See the chapter |
And the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] did evil again in the sight of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and served Ba’alim [lords (false gods)], and ‘Ashtarot [Star (female deity)], and the gods of Aram (Aram (Syria) [exalted]), and the gods of Tzidon [Hunting], and the gods of Mo’av [Seed of my Father], and the gods of the children of ‘Amon [Inbred], and the gods of the P’lishtim [Immigrants], and forsook the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and served not him.
Now set your heart and your soul to seek the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) your God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]; arise therefore, and build you2f the sanctuary of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], to bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and the holy vessels of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], into the house that is to be built to the name of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
And youi, Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] my son, know youi the God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of youri father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) searcheth all hearts, and understands all the imaginations of the thoughts: if youi seek him, he will be found of youi; but if youi forsake him, he will cast youi off forever.
And half Gil’ad [Rocky Region], and ‘Ashtarot [Star (female deity)], and Edre’i [Good Pasture], cities of the kingdom of ‘Og [Long-necked] in Bashan [Fruitful], [were pertaining] unto the children of Makhir [Sold] the son of M’nasheh [Causing to Forget], [even] to the one half of the children of Makhir [Sold] by their families.
Because that they have forsaken me, and have worshipped ‘Ashtoret [star] the goddess of the people of Tzidon [Hunting], K’mosh [Subduer] the god of the Mo’avi [of his father], and Milkom [great king] the god of the children of ‘Amon [Inbred], and have not walked in my ways, to do [that which is] right in my eyes, and [to keep] my statutes and my judgments, as [did] David [beloved] his father.
Moreover the altar that [was] at Beit-El [House of God], [and] the high place which Yarov’am [the people will contend] the son of N’vat [aspect], who made Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] to sin, had made, both that altar and the high place he broke down, and burned the high place, [and] stamped [it] small to (to do entirely, do wholly) powder, and burned the Asherah.
