Leviticus 26:16 Heb. upon you

και εγω ποιησω ουτως υμιν και επισυστησω εφ υμας την αποριαν την τε ψωραν και τον ικτερον και σφακελιζοντας τους οφθαλμους υμων και την ψυχην υμων εκτηκουσαν και σπερειτε δια κενης τα σπερματα υμων και εδονται οι υπεναντιοι υμων

εαν δε μη μιανθη η γυνη και καθαρα η και αθωα εσται και εκσπερματιει σπερμα

For the land, where you go in to possess isn’t like the land of Egypt that you came out of, where you sowed your seed and watered it with your foot, as a garden of herbs;

For the land, H776 whither thou goest in H935 (QalActPtc) to possess H3423 (QalInf) it, is not as the land H776 of Egypt, H4714 from whence ye came out, H3318 (QalPerf) where thou sowedst H2232 (QalImpf) thy seed, H2233 and wateredst H8248 (HiphPerf) it with thy foot, H7272 as a garden H1588 of herbs: H3419

εστιν γαρ η γη εις ην εισπορευη εκει κληρονομησαι αυτην ουχ ωσπερ η γη αιγυπτου εστιν οθεν εκπεπορευσθε εκειθεν οταν σπειρωσιν τον σπορον και ποτιζωσιν τοις ποσιν ωσει κηπον λαχανειας

The elders of that city shall bring the heifer down to a valley with running water, which is neither plowed nor sown, and shall break the heifer’s neck there in the valley.

and the elders H2205 of that city H5892 shall bring down H3381 (HiphPerf) the heifer H5697 unto a rough H386 valley, H5158 which is neither eared H5647 (NiphImpf) nor sown, H2232 (NiphImpf) and shall strike off H6202 the heifer’s H5697 neck H6202 (QalPerf) there in the valley: H5158

και καταβιβασουσιν η γερουσια της πολεως εκεινης την δαμαλιν εις φαραγγα τραχειαν ητις ουκ ειργασται ουδε σπειρεται και νευροκοπησουσιν την δαμαλιν εν τη φαραγγι

You shall not sow your vineyard with two kinds of seed, lest all the fruit be defiled, the seed which you have sown, and the increase of the vineyard.

Thou shalt not sow H2232 (QalImpf) thy vineyard H3754 with divers seeds: H3610 lest the fruit H4395 of thy seed^§ H2233 which thou hast sown, H2232 (QalImpf) and the fruit H8393 of thy vineyard, H3754 be defiled. H6942 (QalImpf)

Deuteronomy 22:9 Heb. fullness of the seed

ου κατασπερεις τον αμπελωνα σου διαφορον ινα μη αγιασθη το γενημα και το σπερμα ο εαν σπειρης μετα του γενηματος του αμπελωνος σου

that all of its land is sulfur, salt, and burning, that it is not sown, doesn’t produce, nor does any grass grow in it, like the overthrow of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, which Yahweh overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath.

and that the whole land H776 thereof is brimstone, H1614 and salt, H4417 and burning, H8316 that it is not sown, H2232 (NiphImpf) nor beareth, H6779 (HiphImpf) nor any grass H6212 groweth H5927 (QalImpf) therein, like the overthrow H4114 of Sodom, H5467 and Gomorrah, H6017 Admah, H126 and Zeboim, H6636 which the Lord H3068 overthrew H2015 (QalPerf) in his anger, H639 and in his wrath: H2534

^[29:22] θειον και αλα κατακεκαυμενον πασα η γη αυτης ου σπαρησεται ουδε ανατελει ουδε μη αναβη επ αυτην παν χλωρον ωσπερ κατεστραφη σοδομα και γομορρα αδαμα και σεβωιμ ας κατεστρεψεν κυριος εν θυμω και οργη

So it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites, the Amalekites, and the children of the east came up against them.

And so it was, when Israel H3478 had sown, H2232 (QalPerf) that the Midianites H4080 came up, H5927 (QalPerf) and the Amalekites, H6002 and the children H1121 of the east, H6924 even they came up H5927 (QalPerf) against them;

και εγενετο οταν εσπειρεν ανηρ ισραηλ και ανεβαινεν μαδιαμ και αμαληκ και οι υιοι ανατολων και ανεβαινον επ αυτον

Abimelech fought against the city all that day; and he took the city and killed the people in it. He beat down the city and sowed it with salt.

And Abimelech H40 fought H3898 (NiphPerf) against the city H5892 all that day; H3117 and he took H3920 (QalImpf) the city, H5892 and slew H2026 (QalPerf) the people H5971 that was therein, and beat down H5422 (QalImpf) the city, H5892 and sowed H2232 (QalImpf) it with salt. H4417

και αβιμελεχ επολεμει εν τη πολει ολην την ημεραν εκεινην και κατελαβοντο την πολιν και τον λαον τον εν αυτη ανειλεν και την πολιν καθειλεν και εσπειρεν αυτην αλας

“This will be the sign to you: This year, you will eat that which grows of itself, and in the second year that which springs from that; and in the third year sow and reap, and plant vineyards and eat their fruit.

And this shall be a sign H226 unto thee, Ye shall eat H398 (QalInf) this year H8141 such things as grow H5599 of themselves, and in the second H8145 year H8141 that which springeth H7823 of the same; and in the third H7992 year H8141 sow H2232 (QalImpv) ye, and reap, H7114 (QalImpv) and plant H5193 (QalImpv) vineyards, H3754 and eat H398 (QalImpv) the fruits H6529 thereof.

και τουτο σοι το σημειον φαγη τουτον τον ενιαυτον αυτοματα και τω ετει τω δευτερω τα ανατελλοντα και ετι τριτω σπορα και αμητος και φυτεια αμπελωνων και φαγεσθε τον καρπον αυτων

According to what I have seen, those who plow iniquity and sow trouble, reap the same.

Even as I have seen, H7200 (QalPerf) they that plow H2790 (QalActPtc) iniquity, H205 And sow H2232 (QalActPtc) wickedness, H5999 reap H7114 (QalImpf) the same.

καθ ον τροπον ειδον τους αροτριωντας τα ατοπα οι δε σπειροντες αυτα οδυνας θεριουσιν εαυτοις

then let me sow, and let another eat. Yes, let the produce of my field be rooted out.

Then let me sow, H2232 (QalImpf) and let another H312 eat; H398 (QalImpf) Yea, let my offspring H6631 be rooted out. H8327 (PualImpf)

σπειραιμι αρα και αλλοι φαγοισαν αρριζος δε γενοιμην επι γης

Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.

Light H216 is sown H2232 (QalPasPtc) for the righteous, H6662 And gladness H8057 for the upright H3477 in heart. H3820

^[96:11] φως ανετειλεν τω δικαιω και τοις ευθεσι τη καρδια ευφροσυνη

sow fields, plant vineyards, and reap the fruits of increase.

And sow H2232 (QalImpf) the fields, H7704 and plant H5193 (QalImpf) vineyards, H3754 Which may yield H6213 (QalImpf) fruits H6529 of increase. H8393

^[106:37] και εσπειραν αγρους και εφυτευσαν αμπελωνας και εποιησαν καρπον γενηματος

Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.

They that sow H2232 (QalActPtc) in tears H1832 Shall reap H7114 (QalImpf) in joy.^§ H7440

Psalm 126:5 Or, singing

^[125:5] οι σπειροντες εν δακρυσιν εν αγαλλιασει θεριουσιν

Wicked people earn deceitful wages, but one who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward.

The wicked H7563 worketh H6213 (QalActPtc) a deceitful H8267 work: H6468 But to him that soweth H2232 (QalActPtc) righteousness H6666 shall be a sure H571 reward. H7938

ασεβης ποιει εργα αδικα σπερμα δε δικαιων μισθος αληθειας

He who sows wickedness reaps trouble, and the rod of his fury will be destroyed.

He that soweth H2232 (QalActPtc) iniquity H5766 shall reap H7114 (QalImpf) vanity: H205 And the rod H7626 of his anger H5678 shall fail.^§ H3615 (QalImpf)

Proverbs 22:8 Or, and with the rod of his anger he shall be consumed

ο σπειρων φαυλα θερισει κακα πληγην δε εργων αυτου συντελεσει (22:8Α) ανδρα ιλαρον και δοτην ευλογει ο θεος ματαιοτητα δε εργων αυτου συντελεσει

He who observes the wind won’t sow; and he who regards the clouds won’t reap.

He that observeth H8104 (QalActPtc) the wind H7307 shall not sow; H2232 (QalImpf) and he that regardeth H7200 (QalActPtc) the clouds H5645 shall not reap. H7114 (QalImpf)

τηρων ανεμον ου σπερει και βλεπων εν ταις νεφελαις ου θερισει

In the morning sow your seed, and in the evening don’t withhold your hand; for you don’t know which will prosper, whether this or that, or whether they both will be equally good.

In the morning H1242 sow H2232 (QalImpv) thy seed, H2233 and in the evening H6153 withhold H3240 (HiphImpf) not thine hand: H3027 for thou knowest H3045 (QalActPtc) not whether H335 shall prosper,^§ H3787 (QalImpf) either this or that, or whether they both H8147 shall be alike H259 good. H2896

Ecclesiastes 11:6 Heb. shall be right

εν πρωια σπειρον το σπερμα σου και εις εσπεραν μη αφετω η χειρ σου οτι ου γινωσκεις ποιον στοιχησει η τουτο η τουτο και εαν τα δυο επι το αυτο αγαθα

For you have forgotten the God of your salvation, and have not remembered the rock of your strength. Therefore you plant pleasant plants, and set out foreign seedlings.

Because thou hast forgotten H7911 (QalPerf) the God H430 of thy salvation, H3468 and hast not been mindful H2142 (QalPerf) of the rock H6697 of thy strength, H4581 therefore shalt thou plant H5193 (QalImpf) pleasant H5282 plants, H5194 and shalt set H2232 (QalImpf) it with strange H2114 (QalPtc) slips: H2156

διοτι κατελιπες τον θεον τον σωτηρα σου και κυριου του βοηθου σου ουκ εμνησθης δια τουτο φυτευσεις φυτευμα απιστον και σπερμα απιστον

Does he who plows to sow plow continually? Does he keep turning the soil and breaking the clods?

Doth the plowman H2790 (QalActPtc) plow H2790 (QalImpf) all day H3117 to sow? H2232 (QalInf) doth he open H6605 (PielImpf) and break the clods H7702 (PielImpf) of his ground? H127

μη ολην την ημεραν μελλει ο αροτριων αροτριαν η σπορον προετοιμασει πριν εργασασθαι την γην

He will give the rain for your seed, with which you will sow the ground; and bread of the increase of the ground will be rich and plentiful. In that day, your livestock will feed in large pastures.

Then shall he give H5414 (QalPerf) the rain H4306 of thy seed, H2233 that thou shalt sow H2232 (QalImpf) the ground H127 withal; and bread H3899 of the increase H8393 of the earth, H127 and it shall be fat H1879 and plenteous: H8082 in that day H3117 shall thy cattle H4735 feed H7462 (QalImpf) in large H7337 (NiphPtc) pastures. H3733

τοτε εσται ο υετος τω σπερματι της γης σου και ο αρτος του γενηματος της γης σου εσται πλησμονη και λιπαρος και βοσκηθησεται σου τα κτηνη τη ημερα εκεινη τοπον πιονα και ευρυχωρον

Blessed are you who sow beside all waters, who send out the feet of the ox and the donkey.

Blessed H835 are ye that sow H2232 (QalActPtc) beside all waters, H4325 that send forth H7971 (PielPtc) thither the feet H7272 of the ox H7794 and the ass. H2543

μακαριοι οι σπειροντες επι παν υδωρ ου βους και ονος πατει

“‘This shall be the sign to you: You will eat this year that which grows of itself, and in the second year that which springs from it; and in the third year sow and reap and plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.

And this shall be a sign H226 unto thee, Ye shall eat H398 (QalInf) this year H8141 such as groweth H5599 of itself; and the second H8145 year H8141 that which springeth H7823 of the same: and in the third H7992 year H8141 sow H2232 (QalImpv) ye, and reap, H7114 (QalImpv) and plant H5193 (QalImpv) vineyards, H3754 and eat H398 (QalImpv) the fruit H6529 thereof.

τουτο δε σοι το σημειον φαγε τουτον τον ενιαυτον α εσπαρκας τω δε ενιαυτω τω δευτερω το καταλειμμα τω δε τριτω σπειραντες αμησατε και φυτευσατε αμπελωνας και φαγεσθε τον καρπον αυτων

They are planted scarcely. They are sown scarcely. Their stock has scarcely taken root in the ground. He merely blows on them, and they wither, and the whirlwind takes them away as stubble.

Yea, they shall not be planted; H5193 (NiphPerf) yea, they shall not be sown: H2232 (PualPerf) yea, their stock H1503 shall not take root H8327 (PoelPerf) in the earth: H776 and he shall also blow H5398 (QalPerf) upon them, and they shall wither, H3001 (QalImpf) and the whirlwind H5591 shall take H5375 (QalImpf) them away as stubble.
