Matthew 4:6-17 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

6. and said to Him, “If You are the Son of Elohim, throw Yourself down. For it has been written, ‘He shall command His messengers concerning you,’ and, ‘In their hands they shall bear you up, so that you do not dash your foot against a stone.’ ”

7. יהושע said to him, “It has also been written, ‘You shall not try יהוה your Elohim.’ ”

8. Again, the devil took Him up on a very high mountain, and showed Him all the reigns of the world, and their esteem,

9. and said to Him, “All these I shall give You if You fall down and worship me.”

10. Then יהושע said to him, “Go, Satan! For it has been written, ‘You shall worship יהוה your Elohim, and Him alone you shall serve.’ ”

11. Then the devil left Him, and see, messengers came and attended Him.

12. And יהושע, having heard that Yoḥanan had been put in prison, withdrew into Galil.

13. And leaving Natsareth, He came and dwelt in Kephar Naḥum, which is by the sea, in the borders of Zeḇulun and Naphtali,

14. to fill what was spoken by Yeshayahu the prophet, saying,

15. “Land of Zeḇulun and land of Naphtali, the way of the sea, beyond the Yardĕn, Galil of the gentiles –

16. the people who sat in darkness saw a great light, and upon those who sat in the land and shadow of death, light arose to them.”

17. From that time יהושע began to proclaim and to say, “Repent, for the reign of the heavens has drawn near.”
