SHUSHANAH AUDIO RECORDING WITH MUSIC #BIBLEMEDITATION #BIBLEREADING THERE dwelt a man in Babel, called Yahuyaqiym: 'And he took a woman, whose name was Shushanah, the daughter of Qelkyahu, a very fair woman, and one that feared YAHUAH. 'Her parents also were righteous, and taught their daughter according to the Torah of Mosheh. 'Now Yahuyaqiym was a great rich man, and had a fair garden joining unto his house: and to him resorted the Yahudiym; because he was more honourable than all others. 'The same year were appointed two of the ancients of the people to be judges, such as YAHUAH spoke of, that wickedness came from Babel from ancient judges, who seemed to govern the people. 'These kept much at Yo'akiym's house: and all that had any suits in law came unto them. 'Now when the people departed away at noon, Shushanah went into her man's garden to walk. 'And the two elders saw her going in every day, and walking; so that their lust was inflamed toward her. 'And they perverted their own mind, and turned away their eyes, that they might not look unto heaven, nor remember just judgments. 'And albeit they both were wounded with her love, yet dared not one show another his grief. 'For they were ashamed to declare their lust, that they desired to have to do with her. 'Yet they watched diligently from day to day to see her. 'And the one said to the other, Let us now go home: for it is dinner time. 'So when they were gone out, they parted the one from the other, and turning back again they came to the same place; and after that they had asked one another the cause, they acknowledged their lust: then appointed they a time both together, when they might find her alone. 'And it fell out, as they watched a fit time, she went in as before with two maids only, and she was desirous to wash herself in the garden: for it was hot. 'And there was nobody there save the two elders, that had hid themselves, and watched her. 'Then she said to her maids, Bring me oil and washing balls, and shut the garden doors, that I may wash me. 'And they did as she bade them, and shut the garden doors, and went out themselves at privy doors to fetch the things that she had commanded them: but they saw not the elders, because they were hid. 'Now when the maids were gone forth, the two elders rose up, and ran unto her, saying, 'Behold, the garden doors are shut, that no man can see us, and we are in love with you; therefore consent unto us, and lie with us. 'If you will not, we will bear witness against you, that a young man was with you: and therefore you did send away your maids from you. 'Then Shushanah sighed, and said, I am straitened on every side: for if I do this thing, it is death unto me: and if I do it not I cannot escape your hands. 'It is better for me to fall into your hands, and not do it, than to sin in the sight of YAHUAH. 'With that Shushanah cried with a loud voice: and the two elders cried out against her. 'Then ran the one, and opened the garden door. 'So when the servants of the house heard the cry in the garden, they rushed in at the privy door, to see what was done unto her. 'But when the elders had declared their matter, the servants were greatly ashamed: for there was never such a report made of Shushanah. 'And it came to pass the next day, when the people were assembled to her man Yahuyaqiym, the two elders came also full of mischievous imagination against Shushanah to put her to death; 'And said before the people, Send for Shushanah, the daughter of Qelkyahu, Yo'akiym's woman. And so they sent. 'So she came with her father and mother, her children, and all her kindred. 'Now Shushanah was a very delicate woman, and beauteous to behold. 'And these wicked men commanded to uncover her face, (for she was covered) that they might be filled with her beauty. 'Therefore her friends and all that saw her wept. 'Then the two elders stood up in the midst of the people, and laid their hands upon her head. 'And she weeping looked up toward heaven: for her heart trusted in YAHUAH. 'And the elders said, As we walked in the garden alone, this woman came in with two maids, and shut the garden doors, and sent the maids away.

'You know that they have borne false witness against me, and, behold, I must die; whereas I never did such things as these men have maliciously invented against me. 'And YAHUAH heard her voice. Therefore when she was led to be put to death, YAHUAH raised up the ruach ha'qodesh.
