¹ Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hephzibah.

² And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, after the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.

³ For he built up again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars for Baal, and made a grove, as did Ahab king of Israel; and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.

⁴ And he built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD said, In Jerusalem will I put my name.

⁵ And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD.

⁶ And he made his son pass through the fire, and observed times, and used enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits and wizards: he wrought much wickedness in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.

⁷ And he set a graven image of the grove that he had made in the house, of which the LORD said to David, and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:

⁸ Neither will I make the feet of Israel move any more out of the land which I gave their fathers; only if they will observe to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law that my servant Moses commanded them.

⁹ But they hearkened not: and Manasseh seduced them to do more evil than did the nations whom the LORD destroyed before the children of Israel.

² And he did ^H6213 that which was evil ^H7451 in the sight ^H5869 of the LORD, ^H3068 after the abominations ^H8441 of the heathen, ^H1471 whom the LORD ^H3068 cast out ^H3423 before ^H6440 the children ^H1121 of Israel. ^H3478

³ For he built up ^H1129 again ^H7725 the high places ^H1116 which Hezekiah ^H2396 his father ^H1 had destroyed; ^H6 and he reared up ^H6965 altars ^H4196 for Baal, ^H1168 and made ^H6213 a grove, ^H842 as did ^H6213 Ahab ^H256 king ^H4428 of Israel; ^H3478 and worshipped ^H7812 all the host ^H6635 of heaven, ^H8064 and served ^H5647 them.

⁴ And he built ^H1129 altars ^H4196 in the house ^H1004 of the LORD, ^H3068 of which the LORD ^H3068 said, ^H559 In Jerusalem ^H3389 will I put ^H7760 my name. ^H8034

⁵ And he built ^H1129 altars ^H4196 for all the host ^H6635 of heaven ^H8064 in the two ^H8147 courts ^H2691 of the house ^H1004 of the LORD. ^H3068

⁶ And he made his son ^H1121 pass ^H5674 through the fire, ^H784 and observed times, ^H6049 and used enchantments, ^H5172 and dealt ^H6213 with familiar spirits ^H178 and wizards: ^H3049 he wrought ^H6213 much ^H7235 wickedness ^H7451 in the sight ^H5869 of the LORD, ^H3068 to provoke him to anger. ^H3707

⁷ And he set ^H7760 a graven image ^H6459 of the grove ^H842 that he had made ^H6213 in the house, ^H1004 of which the LORD ^H3068 said ^H559 to David, ^H1732 and to Solomon ^H8010 his son, ^H1121 In this house, ^H1004 and in Jerusalem, ^H3389 which I have chosen ^H977 out of all tribes ^H7626 of Israel, ^H3478 will I put ^H7760 my name ^H8034 for ever: ^H5769

⁸ Neither will I make the feet ^H7272 of Israel ^H3478 move ^H5110 any more ^H3254 out of the land ^H127 which I gave ^H5414 their fathers; ^H1 only if they will observe ^H8104 to do ^H6213 according to all that I have commanded ^H6680 them, and according to all the law ^H8451 that my servant ^H5650 Moses ^H4872 commanded ^H6680 them.

⁹ But they hearkened ^H8085 not: and Manasseh ^H4519 seduced ^H8582 them to do ^H6213 more evil ^H7451 than did the nations ^H1471 whom the LORD ^H3068 destroyed ^H8045 before ^H6440 the children ^H1121 of Israel. ^H3478

⁸ and I do not add to cause the foot of Israel to move from the ground that I gave to their fathers, only, if they observe to do according to all that I commanded them, and to all the law that My servant Moses commanded them.'

⁹ And they have not hearkened, and Manasseh causeth them to err, to do the evil thing above the nations that Jehovah destroyed from the presence of the sons of Israel.

¹ Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king; for fifty-five years he was ruling in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Hephzi-bah.

² He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, copying the disgusting ways of those nations whom the Lord had sent out before the children of Israel.

⁴ And he put up altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord had said, In Jerusalem will I put my name.

⁵ And he put up altars for all the stars of heaven in the two outer squares of the house of the Lord.

⁶ And he made his son go through the fire, and made use of secret arts and signs for reading the future; he gave positions to those who had control of spirits and to wonder-workers; he did much evil in the eyes of the Lord, moving him to wrath.

⁷ He put the image of Asherah which he had made in the house of which the Lord had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, the town which I have made mine out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put my name for ever.

⁸ And never again will I send the feet of Israel wandering from the land which I gave to their fathers; if only they will take care to do all my orders, and keep all the law which my servant Moses gave them.

⁹ But they did not give ear; and Manasseh made them do more evil than those nations did, whom the Lord gave up to destruction before the children of Israel.
