Now for a long season Israel was without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law:

Now for a long time Israel has been without the true God, and without a teaching priest and without the law;

πολυν μεν καιρον εσταθη ο Ισραηλ χωρις του αληθινου Θεου και χωρις ιερεως διδασκοντος και χωρις νομου·

Now for a long season Israel hath been without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law.
