The Tanach, with the evidence built in
This is the complete Hebrew Bible in the Jewish Publication Society translation. Wherever a real archaeological find bears on the text, those words are underlined in gold✦. Hover over them or tap them to see the artifact and what it confirms. From there, Next find takes you to the next underline, so you can tour a whole book’s evidence, and the share button turns the verse into an image.
Each chapter lists its finds under its title, and the chapter picker shows how many finds every book and chapter has. The AA button sets the text size, light or dark, and English, Hebrew, or the two together.
Chapter 11
1I fell in love with IsraelWhen he was still a child;And I have called [him] My sonEver since Egypt.
2Thus were they called,But they went their own way;They sacrifice to BaalimAnd offer to carved images.
3I have pampered Ephraim,Taking them in My arms;But they have ignoredMy healing care.
4I drew them with human ties,With cords of love;But I seemed to them as oneWho imposed a yoke on their jaws,Though I was offering them food.
5No!They return to the land of Egypt,And Assyria is their king.Because they refuse to repent,
6A sword shall descend upon their townsAnd consume their limbsAnd devour [them] because of their designs.
7For My people persistsIn its defection from Me;When it is summoned upward,It does not rise at all.
8How can I give you up, O Ephraim?How surrender you, O Israel?How can I make you like Admah,Render you like Zeboiim?I have had a change of heart,All My tenderness is stirred.
9I will not act on My wrath,Will not turn to destroy Ephraim.For I am God, not man,The Holy One in your midst:I will not come in fury.
10The LORD will roar like a lion,And they shall march behind Him;When He roars, His children shall comeFluttering out of the west.
11They shall flutter from Egypt like sparrows,From the land of Assyria like doves;And I will settle them in their homes—declares the LORD.
