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 55
1Ho, all who are thirsty,Come for water,Even if you have no money;Come, buy food and eat:Buy food without money,Wine and milk without cost.
2Why do you spend money for what is not bread,Your earnings for what does not satisfy?Give heed to Me,And you shall eat choice foodAnd enjoy the richest viands.
3Incline your ear and come to Me;Hearken, and you shall be revived.And I will make with you an everlasting covenant,The enduring loyalty promised to David.
4As I made him a leader of peoples,A prince and commander of peoples,
5So you shall summon a nation you did not know,And a nation that did not know youShall come running to you—For the sake of the LORD your God,The Holy One of Israel who has glorified you.
6Seek the LORD while He can be found,Call to Him while He is near.
7Let the wicked give up his ways,The sinful man his plans;Let him turn back to the LORD,And He will pardon him;To our God,For He freely forgives.
8For My plans are not your plans,Nor are My ways your ways—declares the LORD.
9But as the heavens are high above the earth,So are My ways high above your waysAnd My plans above your plans.
10For as the rain or snow drops from heavenAnd returns not there,But soaks the earthAnd makes it bring forth vegetation,Yielding seed for sowing and bread for eating,
11So is the word that issues from My mouth:It does not come back to Me unfulfilled,But performs what I purpose,Achieves what I sent it to do.
12Yea, you shall leave in joy and be led home secure.Before you, mount and hill shall shout aloud,And all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
13Instead of the brier, a cypress shall rise;Instead of the nettle, a myrtle shall rise.These shall stand as a testimony to the LORD,As an everlasting sign that shall not perish.
