13 മൂടുവിരിയുടെ മൂടുശീല നീളത്തിൽ ശേഷിപ്പുള്ളതു ഇപ്പുറത്തു ഒരു മുഴവും അപ്പുറത്തു ഒരു മുഴവും ഇങ്ങനെ തിരുനിവാസത്തെ മൂടേണ്ടുന്നതിന്നു അതിന്റെ രണ്ടു പാർശ്വങ്ങളിലും തൂങ്ങിക്കിടക്കേണം.
14 ചുവപ്പിച്ച ആട്ടുകൊറ്റന്തോൽകൊണ്ടു മൂടുവിരിക്കു ഒരു പുറമൂടിയും അതിന്റെ മീതെ തഹശൂതോൽകൊണ്ടു ഒരു പുറമൂടിയും ഉണ്ടാക്കേണം.

17 ഓരോ പലകെക്കു ഒന്നോടൊന്നു ചേർന്നിരിക്കുന്ന രണ്ടു കുടുമ ഉണ്ടായിരിക്കേണം, തിരുനിവാസത്തിന്റെ പലകെക്കു ഒക്കെയും അങ്ങനെ തന്നേ ഉണ്ടാക്കേണം.
18 തിരുനിവാസത്തിന്നു പലകകൾ ഉണ്ടാക്കേണം; തെക്കു വശത്തേക്കു ഇരുപതു പലക.
19 ഇരുപതു പലകെക്കും താഴെ വെള്ളികൊണ്ടു നാല്പതു ചുവടു, ഒരു പലകയുടെ അടിയിൽ രണ്ടു കുടുമെക്കു രണ്ടു ചുവടും മറ്റൊരു പലകയുടെ അടിയിൽ രണ്ടു കുടുമെക്കു രണ്ടു ചുവടും ഇങ്ങനെ ഇരുപതു പലകയുടെയും അടിയിൽ വെള്ളികൊണ്ടു നാല്പതു ചുവടു ഉണ്ടാക്കേണം.

25 ഇങ്ങനെ എട്ടു പലകയും അവയുടെ വെള്ളിച്ചുവടു, ഒരു പലകയുടെ അടിയിൽ രണ്ടു ചുവടു മറ്റൊരു പലകയുടെ അടിയിൽ രണ്ടു ചുവടു ഇങ്ങനെ പതിനാറു വെള്ളിച്ചുവടും വേണം.
26 ഖദിരമരംകൊണ്ടു അന്താഴങ്ങൾ ഉണ്ടാക്കേണം; തിരുനിവാസത്തിന്റെ ഒരു ഭാഗത്തെ പലകെക്കു അഞ്ചു അന്താഴം
27 തിരുനിവാസത്തിന്റെ മറുഭാഗത്തെ പലകെക്കു അഞ്ചു അന്താഴം, തിരുനിവാസത്തിന്റെ പടിഞ്ഞാറെ ഭാഗത്തു പിൻവശത്തെ പലകെക്കു അഞ്ചു അന്താഴം.

30 അങ്ങനെ പർവ്വതത്തിൽവെച്ചു കാണിച്ചുതന്ന പ്രമാണപ്രകാരം നീ തിരുനിവാസം നിവിർത്തേണം.

37 മറശ്ശീലെക്കു ഖദിരമരംകൊണ്ടു അഞ്ചു തൂണുണ്ടാക്കി പൊന്നുകൊണ്ടു പൊതിയേണം. അവയുടെ കൊളുത്തു പൊന്നുകൊണ്ടു ആയിരിക്കേണം; അവെക്കു താമ്രംകൊണ്ടു അഞ്ചു ചുവടും വാർപ്പിക്കേണം.
1 Moreover thou shalt make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: with cherubims of cunning work shalt thou make them.
2 The length of one curtain shall be eight and twenty cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits: and every one of the curtains shall have one measure.
3 The five curtains shall be coupled together one to another; and other five curtains shall be coupled one to another.
4 And thou shalt make loops of blue upon the edge of the one curtain from the selvedge in the coupling; and likewise shalt thou make in the uttermost edge of another curtain, in the coupling of the second.
5 Fifty loops shalt thou make in the one curtain, and fifty loops shalt thou make in the edge of the curtain that is in the coupling of the second; that the loops may take hold one of another.
6 And thou shalt make fifty taches of gold, and couple the curtains together with the taches: and it shall be one tabernacle.

11 And thou shalt make fifty taches of brass, and put the taches into the loops, and couple the tent together, that it may be one.
12 And the remnant that remaineth of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that remaineth, shall hang over the backside of the tabernacle.
13 And a cubit on the one side, and a cubit on the other side of that which remaineth in the length of the curtains of the tent, it shall hang over the sides of the tabernacle on this side and on that side, to cover it.
14 And thou shalt make a covering for the tent of rams’ skins dyed red, and a covering above of badgers’ skins.
15 And thou shalt make boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood standing up.
16 Ten cubits shall be the length of a board, and a cubit and a half shall be the breadth of one board.
17 Two tenons shall there be in one board, set in order one against another: thus shalt thou make for all the boards of the tabernacle.
18 And thou shalt make the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards on the south side southward.
19 And thou shalt make forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for his two tenons, and two sockets under another board for his two tenons.
20 And for the second side of the tabernacle on the north side there shall be twenty boards:
21 And their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.
22 And for the sides of the tabernacle westward thou shalt make six boards.
23 And two boards shalt thou make for the corners of the tabernacle in the two sides.
24 And they shall be coupled together beneath, and they shall be coupled together above the head of it unto one ring: thus shall it be for them both; they shall be for the two corners.
25 And they shall be eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.
26 And thou shalt make bars of shittim wood; five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,

2 Kings 23 in Tamil and English
1 ત્યારબાદ રાજાએ પોતાની સાથે યહોવાના મંદિરમાં આવવા માટે સંદેશવાહકો મોકલીને યરૂશાલેમના તથા યહૂદાના વડીલો તથા આગેવાનોને બોલાવ્યા.
And the king sent, and they gathered unto him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem.
2 યરૂશાલેમ અને યહૂદાના સર્વ યાજકો, પ્રબોધકો, અને નાનાથી મોટા સર્વ લોકો મંદિર આગળ ભેગા થયા. રાજાએ તેઓની આગળ મંદિરમાંથી મળી આવેલું દેવના નિયમશાસ્ત્રનું પુસ્તક પૂરેપૂરું વાચી સંભળાવ્યું.
And the king went up into the house of the Lord, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant which was found in the house of the Lord.
3 ત્યારબાદ રાજાએ મંચ પર ઊભા રહીને, તેમને યહોવાને અનુસરવાનું કહ્યું. અને તેના બધા આદેશો અને હુકમોનું પાલન કરવાનું અને તેમની બધી સુચનાઓને તેમના પૂર્ણ હૃદયથી અને તેમના પૂર્ણ આત્માથી અનુસરવાનું કહ્યું. અને એ રીતે આ પુસ્તકમાં લખેલા કરારની શરતોનો પૂરેપૂરો અમલ કરવાની પ્રતિજ્ઞા કરી; અને બધા લોકોએ પણ એ કરારનું પાલન કરવાની પ્રતિજ્ઞા લીધી.
And the king stood by a pillar, and made a covenant before the Lord, to walk after the Lord, and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes with all their heart and all their soul, to perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people stood to the covenant.
4 એ પછી રાજાએ વડા યાજક હિલ્કિયાને તથા મદદનીશ યાજકને તેમજ દ્વારના રક્ષકોને બઆલદેવની અશેરાદેવીની તેમજ આકાશનાં નક્ષત્રોની પૂજામાં વપરાતી બધી સામગ્રી યહોવાના મંદિરમાંથી હઠાવી લેવાનો હુકમ કર્યો, અને તે બધીને તેણે યરૂશાલેમ બહાર કિદ્રોનનાં કોતરમાં બાળી મુકાવી, અને તેની રાખ બેથેલ લઈ જવામાં આવી.
And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the door, to bring forth out of the temple of the Lord all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the grove, and for all the host of heaven: and he burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and carried the ashes of them unto Beth-el.
5 તેણે યહૂદાના રાજાઓએ, યહૂદાના નગરોમાંના અને યરૂશાલેમની આસપાસનાં ઉચ્ચસ્થાનોમાં ધૂપ અર્પણો કરવા નીમેલા વિધમીર્ર્ યાજકોને બરતરફ કર્યા, આમાં બધાં જેમણે બઆલમાં અર્પણો કર્યા હતા તે, સૂર્ય,ચંદ્ર, નક્ષત્રો અને આકાશના બધાં સમૂહોનો સમાવેશ થતો હતો.
And he put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places round about Jerusalem; them also that burned incense unto Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven.
6 યરૂશાલેમના મંદિરમાંથી અશેરાદેવીની મૂર્તિને યરૂશાલેમની બહાર કિદ્રોનના કોતરમાં લઈ જઈને બાળીને ભસ્મ કરી નાખી અને તેની રાખ ગાઝા નજીક સામાન્ય લોકોની કબરો પર ફેંકી દીધી.
And he brought out the grove from the house of the Lord, without Jerusalem, unto the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and stamped it small to powder, and cast the powder thereof upon the graves of the children of the people.
7 તેણે યહોવાના મંદિરમાં આવેલું દેવદાસો અને દેવદાસીઓ માટેનું ઘર, જેમાં સ્રીઓ અશેરા માટે વસ્ત્રો વણતી, તે તોડી પાડયું.
And he brake down the houses of the sodomites, that were by the house of the Lord, where the women wove hangings for the grove.
8 યહૂદાના નગરોમાંથી તેણે બધા યાજકોને યરૂશાલેમમાં ભેગા કર્યા, અને ગેબાથી બેર-શેબા સુધી સર્વત્ર તેઓ જ્યાં જ્યાં અર્પણ સ્તંભ અને અર્પણ વેદીઓ હતી, તે બધાં તેણે ષ્ટ કર્યા. પછી તેણે નગરના શાસક યહોશુઆના દરવાજા પાસે આવેલા ઉચ્ચસ્થાનો તોડી નાખ્યા. જે મુખ્ય નગર દરવાજાની ડાબી બાજુએ હતો.
And he brought all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where the priests had burned incense, from Geba to Beer-sheba, and brake down the high places of the gates that were in the entering in of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which were on a man’s left hand at the gate of the city.
9 પરંતુ એ થાનકોના યાજકો યરૂશાલેમમાં આવેલી વેદીની પૂજા કરવા આવ્યા નહોતા, તેઓએ તેમના કુટુંબો વચ્ચે બેખમીર રોટલી ખાધી.
Nevertheless the priests of the high places came not up to the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem, but they did eat of the unleavened bread among their brethren.
10 હવે પછી કોઈ પણ વ્યકિત પોતાના પુત્ર કે પુત્રીને મારી નાખીને તેનું બલિદાન તરીકે અર્પણ ન કરી શકે, કારણકે રાજાએ બેન-હિન્નોમની ખીણમાં આવેલી તોફેથની વેદીને પણ તોડી પાડી હતી.
And he defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the children of Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter to pass through the fire to Molech.
11 તેણે નાથાન મેલેખના નિવાસસ્થાન પાસે મંદરિના મુખ્ય પ્રવેશદ્વાર આગળ આવેલી ઘોડાઓની પ્રતિમાઓને તોડી પાડી. તેણે સૂર્ય દેવને સમર્પિત થયેલા રથોને બાળી મૂક્યા.
And he took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the entering in of the house of the Lord, by the chamber of Nathan-melech the chamberlain, which was in the suburbs, and burned the chariots of the sun with fire.
12 આહાઝના ઉપરના ઓરડા પર યહૂદાના રાજાઓએ બંધાવેલી વેદીઓ હતી, તેને તોડી પાડી. ત્યાર પછી મંદિરના બંને આંગણામાં મનાશ્શાએ બાંધેલી બે વેદીઓ હતી, તે પણ તેણે તોડી નાખી, એ સર્વને ભાંગીને ભૂકો કર્યો અને એ ભૂકો કિદ્રોનની ખીણમાં ફેંકી દીધો.
And the altars that were on the top of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of the Lord, did the king beat down, and brake them down from thence, and cast the dust of them into the brook Kidron.
13 વળી તેણે ઇસ્રાએલની પૂર્વ તરફના ઉચ્ચસ્થાનકો અપવિત્ર કર્યા. તે ઇસ્રાએલના સુલેમાન રાજાએ બંધાવેલી “વિનાશક ટેકરીઓની” દક્ષિણે હતાં જે તેણે આશ્તોરેથ માટે બંધાવી હતી જે સિદોનીઓની ભયાનક દેવી હતી, મોઆબીઓના ભયાનક દેવ કમોશ અને આમ્મોનીઓના ભયાનક દેવ, મિલ્કોમના સ્થાનકો પણ તોડી પાડ્યાં.
And the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mount of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had builded for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Zidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon, did the king defile.
14 તેણે સ્તંભો તોડી પાડયા અને અશેરાદેવીનાં પ્રતીકો કાપી નાખ્યાં. તેઓ જે જગ્યાએ ઊભાં હતાં તે જગ્યાઓ માણાસોનાં હાડકાંઓથી પૂરી દીધી.
And he brake in pieces the images, and cut down the groves, and filled their places with the bones of men.
15 એ જ રીતે બેથેલની વેદી અને ઉચ્ચસ્થાનો, જે ઇસ્રાએલને પાપ કરવા પ્રેરનાર નબાટના પુત્ર યરોબઆમે બંધાવી હતી તેનો પણ તેણે નાશ કર્યો, તેના પથ્થરોને ભેગા કરીને ભાંગીને ભૂકો કરી ફેકી દીધો અને અશેરાદેવીની બધી નિશાનીઓને બાળી મૂકી.
Moreover the altar that was at Beth-el, and the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made, both that altar and the high place he brake down, and burned the high place, and stamped it small to powder, and burned the grove.
16 જ્યારે યોશિયા બીજી તરફ ફર્યો ત્યારે તેણે એક ટેકરી પર કેટલીક કબરો જોઈ, આ રીતે, જે રીતે દેવના માણસે ભવિષ્યવાણી ભાખી હતી તે પ્રમાણે જ તેણે વેદીને ષ્ટ કરી.
And as Josiah turned himself, he spied the sepulchres that were there in the mount, and sent, and took the bones out of the sepulchres, and burned them upon the altar, and polluted it, according to the word of the Lord which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these words.
17 અને તેણે પૂછયું, “ત્યાં પેલું સ્મારક શાનું છે?”નગરના લોકોએ કહ્યું, “એ તો જે દેવના માણસ એલિયાએ યહૂદાથી આવીને તમે બેથેલની વેદીના જે હાલ કર્યા તેની અગમ વાણી ભાખી હતી તેની કબર છે.”
Then he said, What title is that that I see? And the men of the city told him, It is the sepulchre of the man of God, which came from Judah, and proclaimed these things that thou hast done against the altar of Beth-el.
18 તેણે કહ્યું, “એ ભલે રહી.” કોઈ એનાં હાડકાં ખસેડશો નહિ.” તેથી તેઓએ તેનાં હાડકાં છોડી દીધાં અને સમરૂનથી આવેલા દેવના માણસનાં હાડકાંને પણ કોઈ અડયું નહિ.
And he said, Let him alone; let no man move his bones. So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet that came out of Samaria.
19 વળી, યોશિયાએ સમરૂનનાં નગરોમાં ઇસ્રાએલના રાજાઓએ બનાવેલા ઉચ્ચસ્થાનકોનો નાશ કરીને જે યહવોનો રોષ વહોરી લીધો હતો, તે બધાંની પણ તેણે બેથેલમાં કરી હતી તેવી જ દશા કરી.
And all the houses also of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke the Lord to anger, Josiah took away, and did to them according to all the acts that he had done in Beth-el.
20 એ ટેકરી ઉપરનાં થાનકોના બધા યાજકોનો તેણે વેદીઓ પર વધ કર્યો, અને તે વેદીઓ પર તેણે માણસનાં હાડકાં બાળ્યાં, પછી તે યરૂશાલેમ પાછો ગયો.
And he slew all the priests of the high places that were there upon the altars, and burned men’s bones upon them, and returned to Jerusalem.
21 રાજાએ સમગ્ર પ્રજાને આ પ્રમાણે આજ્ઞા કરી, “તમારા દેવ યહોવાના માનમાં, કરારના આ પુસ્તકમાં ઠરાવ્યા મુજબ, પાસ્ખાપર્વ ઊજવો.”
And the king commanded all the people, saying, Keep the passover unto the Lord your God, as it is written in the book of this covenant.
22 ન્યાયાધીશોના સમયથી કયારેય આવો પાસ્ખાપર્વ ઊજવાયો નહોતો, ઇસ્રાએલ કે યહૂદાના એક પણ રાજા દ્વારા પણ નહિ.
Surely there was not holden such a passover from the days of the judges that judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah;
23 પણ યોશિયાના અમલના 18 મે વષેર્ જ આ પાસ્ખાપર્વ યહોવાના માનમાં યરૂશાલેમમાં ઊજવાયો.
But in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, wherein this passover was holden to the Lord in Jerusalem.
24 આ ઉપરાંત યોશિયાએ યાજક હિલ્કિયાને યહોવાના મંદિરમાંથી મળેલી પોથીમાંના નિયમશાસ્ત્રાનાં વચનોનું પાલન કરવા માટે કહ્યું અને બધાં તાંત્રિકો, મેલી વિદ્યાના ઉપાસકો, કુળદેવો અને યહૂદાના પ્રદેશમાં અને યરૂશાલેમમાં જોવામાં આવતી બધી મૂર્તિઓ જે અનાદરને પાત્ર હોય તે બધી બાળી નાખીને તેનો નાશ કરીને તે જગ્યા સાફ કરી નાખી.
Moreover the workers with familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the images, and the idols, and all the abominations that were spied in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, did Josiah put away, that he might perform the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the Lord.
25 એના પહેલાં કે પછી એવો કોઈ રાજા થયો નથી, જેણે મૂસાના નિયમશાસ્ત્રનું પાલન કરીને પૂરા હૃદયથી અને સંપૂર્ણ બળથી યહોવાની ભકિત કરી હોય.”
And like unto him was there no king before him, that turned to the Lord with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there any like him.
26 તેમ છતાં મનાશ્શાના ખરાબ કૃત્યોને કારણે યહૂદા વિરૂદ્ધ યહોવાને ચઢેલો ભારે રોષ હજુ શમ્યો ન હતો.
Notwithstanding the Lord turned not from the fierceness of his great wrath, wherewith his anger was kindled against Judah, because of all the provocations that Manasseh had provoked him withal.
27 યહોવાએ જાહેર કર્યુ કે, “હું યહૂદીઓને પણ ઇસ્રાએલીઓની જેમ મારા સાન્નિધ્યથી દૂર હડસેલી મુકીશ. મેં પસંદ કરેલા આ નગર યરૂશાલેમને તેમજ યહોવાના જે મંદિરને વિષે મેં એમ કહ્યું હતું કે, “ત્યાં મારું નામ કાયમ રહેશે.” તેને પણ હું દૂર કરીશ.”
And the Lord said, I will remove Judah also out of my sight, as I have removed Israel, and will cast off this city Jerusalem which I have chosen, and the house of which I said, My name shall be there.
28 યહૂદાના રાજા યોશિયાનાઁ શાસનનાં બીજા બનાવો યહૂદાના રાજાઓના ઇતિહાસ નામક પુસ્તકમાં લખાયેલાઁ છે.યોશિયાનું મૃત્યુ
Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
29 એના અમલ દરમ્યાન મિસરના રાજા ફારુન નકોહ આશ્શૂરના રાજાને મદદ કરવા ફ્રાત નદી આગળ જવા નીકળ્યો હતો અને રાજા યોશિયાએ તેને માર્ગમાં અટકાવ્યો હતો; નકોહ રાજાએ તેને જોયો ત્યારે તેણે એને મગિદ્દોમાં મારી નાખ્યો.
In his days Pharaoh-nechoh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates: and king Josiah went against him; and he slew him at Megiddo, when he had seen him.
30 તેના અધિકારીઓ તેના મૃતદેહને રથમાં મૂકીને મગિદ્દોથી યરૂશાલેમ લાવ્યા અને તેના મૃત્યુ અગાઉથી તેણે પસંદ કરી રાખેલી કબરમાં તેને દફનાવ્યો. પછી તેના પુત્ર યહોઆહાઝને તેના પિતાની જગ્યાએ નવા રાજા તરીકે પસંદ કરીને અભિષ્કિત કર્યો.
And his servants carried him in a chariot dead from Megiddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own sepulchre. And the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made him king in his father’s stead.
31 યહૂદાનો નવો રાજા યહોઆહાઝ ગાદીએ બેઠો, ત્યારે તે ત્રેવીસ વર્ષનો હતો, તેણે યરૂશાલેમમાં ત્રણ મહિના રાજ કર્યું, તેની માતાનું નામ હમૂટાલ હતું. તે લિબ્નાહના યમિર્યાની પુત્રી હતી.
Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
32 યહોઆહાઝે પોતાના પિતૃઓની જેમ યહોવાની દૃષ્ટિએ અયોગ્ય ગણાય એવું આચરણ કર્યું.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his fathers had done.
33 ફારુન નકોહે તેને યરૂશાલેમ કબજે કરતો અટકાવવા માટે હમાથમાં કેદ પકડયો અને પછી તેણે દેશ પર 7,500 પાઉંડ ચાંદી અને 75 પાઉંડ સોનાનો કર નાખ્યો.
And Pharaoh-nechoh put him in bands at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and put the land to a tribute of an hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.
34 ફારુને યોશિયાના પુત્ર એલ્યાકીમને તેના પિતા યોશિયા પછી રાજા બનાવ્યો અને તેનું નામ બદલીને યહોયાકીમ રાખ્યું. યહોઆહાઝને તે મિસર લઈ ગયો અને ત્યાં તેનું અવસાન થયું.
And Pharaoh-nechoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the room of Josiah his father, and turned his name to Jehoiakim, and took Jehoahaz away: and he came to Egypt, and died there.
35 યહોયાકીમે ફારુનને સોનું અને ચાંદી આપ્યાં.પરંતુ લોકો પર, તેમના દરજ્જા પ્રમાણે કર નાખ્યો, તેણે તેમ કર્યું જેથી તે ફારુનની માંગોને પહોંચી વળે.
And Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; but he taxed the land to give the money according to the commandment of Pharaoh: he exacted the silver and the gold of the people of the land, of every one according to his taxation, to give it unto Pharaoh-nechoh.
36 યહોયાકીમ ગાદીએ આવ્યો ત્યારે તેની ઉંમર 25 વર્ષની હતી. અને તેણે યરૂશાલેમમાં 11 વર્ષ રાજ કર્યુ. તેની માતાનું નામ ઝબીદાહ હતું અને તે રૂમાહના પેદાયાની પુત્રી હતી.
Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Zebudah, the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.
37 યહોયાકીમે પોતાના પિતૃઓની જેમ યહોવાની દૃષ્ટિએ અયોગ્ય ગણાય તેવું આચરણ કર્યું.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his fathers had done.
