3 And four men, lepers, were at the gate entrance. And they said to one
another, Why should we sit here until we die? 4 If we say, We shall go into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we
shall die there. If we sit here, then we shall die. Therefore now, come and we
will fall into the camp of Syria. If they keep us alive, we shall live. And if
they kill us, then we die. 5 And they rose up in the twilight to go to the Syrian camp. And they came to
the edge of the Syrian camp. And, behold, there was not a man there! 6 For YAHUVEH had caused the Syrian army to hear a sound of chariots, and a
sound of horses, and a sound of a great army. And they said to one another,
Behold, the king of Israel has hired the kings of the Hittites against us, and
the kings of Egypt, to come against us. 7 And they rose up and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, and their
horses, and their donkeys, and the camp as it was. And they fled for their life. 8 And these lepers came to the edge of the camp, and came into one tent, and ate
and drank, and took up from there silver and gold and garments, and went and hid
them. And they returned and went into another tent, and took from there, and
went and hid them. 9 And they said to one another, We are not doing right this day. It is a day of
good news, and we are keeping silent. And if we wait until the morning light,
then punishment will find us. And now come and we will go and tell the house of
the king. 10 And they came in and called to the gatekeeper of the city, and spoke for
themselves, saying, We have come to the camp of Syria. And, behold, there is not
a man there, nor voice of man, but horses tied, and donkeys tied, and the tents
as they were. 11 And he called the gatekeepers, and they told the house of the king inside. 12 And the king rose up by night and said to his servants, Let me show you now
that which the Syrians have done to us. They know that we are famished, and they
have gone out from the camp to hide in the field, saying, When they come out of
the city, then we will catch them alive and we shall come into the city. 13 And one of his servants answered and said, Let men take now five of the
horses that remain, which are left in the city. Behold, they are as all the
multitude of Israel who have been left in it. Behold, they are as all the
multitude of Israel who have perished. And we will send and see. 14 And they took two chariots with horses, and the king sent after the Syrian
army, saying, Go and see. 15 And they went after them to the Jordan. And, behold, all the way was full of
garments and vessels that the Syrians had thrown away in their haste. And the
messengers returned and told the king. 16 And the people went out and plundered the Syrian camp. And it happened, a
measure of fine flour sold at a shekel, and two measures of barley at a shekel,
according to the Word of YAHUVEH. 17 And the king appointed the third officer over the gate, he on whose hand he
leaned. And the people trod him down in the gate, and he died, as the man of The
Elohim spoke, which he spoke when the king came down to him. 18 And it happened according to the saying of the man of The Elohim to the king,
saying, Two measures of barley at a shekel, and a measure of fine flour at a
shekel; this shall be at this time tomorrow in the gate of Samaria. 19 And the third officer had answered the man of The Elohim, and said, And
behold, if YAHUVEH should make windows in the heavens, could it be according to
this word? And he said, Behold, you shall see with your eyes, but you shall not
eat from there. 20 And it happened to him in this way; yea, the people trampled him in the gate,
and he died.
Mark 1:35-45
35 And rising up quite early in the night, He went out and went away into a
deserted place. And He was praying there. 36 And Simon and those with Him searched for Him. 37 And finding Him, they said to Him, All are seeking You. 38 And when they found Him they said to Him, All the people are looking for you.
He said to them, Walk into the villages and into the cities that are nearby, for
I will also preach there. I have come for this reason. 39 And He was proclaiming in their synagogues in all Galilee, and casting out
the demons. 40 And a leper came to Him, begging Him, and falling on his knees to Him, and
saying to Him, If You desire, You are able to make me clean. 41 And being moved with pity, reaching out the hand, YAHUSHUA touched him, and
said to him, I am willing. Be made clean! 42 And He having spoken, instantly the leprosy departed from him, and he was
made clean. 43 And strictly warning him, He at once put him out, 44 and said to him, See, tell no one a thing, but go show yourself to the
priest, and offer what Moses directed concerning your cleansing, for a testimony
to them. 45 But going out he began to proclaim much, and to spread about the matter, so
that He no longer could openly enter into a city. But He was outside in deserted
places. And they came to Him from every place.
