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 62
1For the sake of Zion I will not be silent,For the sake of Jerusalem I will not be still,Till her victory emerge resplendentAnd her triumph like a flaming torch.
2Nations shall see your victory,And every king your majesty;And you shall be called by a new nameWhich the LORD Himself shall bestow.
3You shall be a glorious crownIn the hand of the LORD,And a royal diademIn the palm of your God.
4Nevermore shall you be called “Forsaken,”Nor shall your land be called “Desolate”;But you shall be called “I delight in her,”And your land “Espoused.”For the LORD takes delight in you,And your land shall be espoused.
5As a youth espouses a maiden,Your sons shall espouse you;And as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride,So will your God rejoice over you.
6Upon your walls, O Jerusalem,I have set watchmen,Who shall never be silentBy day or by night.O you, the LORD’s remembrancers,Take no rest
7And give no rest to Him,Until He establish JerusalemAnd make her renowned on earth.
8The LORD has sworn by His right hand,By His mighty arm:Nevermore will I give your new grainTo your enemies for food,Nor shall foreigners drink the new wineFor which you have labored.
9But those who harvest it shall eat itAnd give praise to the LORD;And those who gather it shall drink itIn My sacred courts.
10Pass through, pass through the gates!Clear the road for the people;Build up, build up the highway,Remove the rocks!Raise an ensign over the peoples!
11See, the LORD has proclaimedTo the end of the earth:Announce to Fair Zion,Your Deliverer is coming!See, his reward is with Him,His recompense before Him.
12And they shall be called, “The Holy People,The Redeemed of the LORD,”And you shall be called, “Sought Out,A City Not Forsaken.”
